Rev. Joseph Lowery, Civil Rights Icon, Dies at 98

Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, a witty preacher who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King Jr. and was known as the "dean of the civil rights movement," died Friday. He was 98.
Lowery spent most of his life in pulpits across the country, preaching a gospel of social justice that inspired generations to challenge racist Jim Crow laws and integrate the segregated South.
"Rev. Joseph Lowery was a giant who let so many of us stand on his shoulders," former President Barack Obama tweeted. "With boundless generosity, patience, and moral courage, he encouraged a new generation of activists and leaders. Michelle and I remember him fondly today, and our love and prayers are with his family."
On Jan. 20, 2009, Lowery offered a stirring benediction during Obama's inauguration as the 44th president of the United States, with his every word a literary testimony to the toil and struggle that an era of activist preachers employed to usher in a new political day.
"God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who has brought us thus far along the way, thou who has by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray," said Lowery, who began his benediction with the lyrics of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," often recognized as the Black national anthem.
"We truly give thanks for the glorious experience we've shared this day," Lowery said on that historic day. "We pray now, O Lord, for your blessing upon thy servant, Barack Obama, the 44th president of these United States, his family and his administration."
As a founding member of the SCLC, Lowery was part of a spiritual band of brothers that included Ralph Abernathy, Fred Shuttlesworth, Wyatt Tee Walker, Hosea Williams and James Bevel, who preceded him in death, and others such as the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., C.T. Vivian and Andrew Young.
As a student at Florida State, this writer first met Lowery at Bethel Baptist Church in Tallahassee during the funeral of Rev. CK Steele, a founding member of the SCLC. From that moment forward, he often gave me his prepared remarks whenever he saw me.
As a reporter for the Sheridan Broadcasting Network and the Washington Afro American, I often pushed to the pulpit after a Lowery speech for a sound bite and his printed messages, and he never let me down.
Lowery was born Oct. 6, 1921, in Huntsville, Alabama, to Leroy and Dora Lowery. He attended middle school in Chicago while staying with relatives, but he returned to Huntsville to graduate from William Hooper Council High School. He attended the Knoxville College and Alabama A&M College and eventually graduated from Paine College. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and later earned a doctorate in divinity degree from Chicago Ecumenical Institute.
In 1950, Lowery married Evelyn Gibson, a civil rights activist and leader in her own right. She was the sister of the late activist Harry Gibson and elder member of the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church in the Chicago area. The couple worked closely until her death in 2013.
They had three daughters, Yvonne Kennedy, Karen Lowery and Cheryl Lowery-Osborne. Lowery also had two sons, Joseph Jr. and LeRoy III, from a previous marriage.
Ordained as a United Methodist minister, Lowery became pastor of the Warren Street Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama, from 1952 to 1961. After Rosa Parks' arrest in 1955, he helped lead the Montgomery bus boycott. He also led the Alabama Civic Affairs Association, an organization devoted to the desegregation of buses and public places.
Two years later, he and King founded the SCLC, of which Lowery later served as president for two decades. The group was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In 1997, at what was then the Jericho City of Praise in Landover, Maryland, Lowery passed the mantle of leadership to Martin Luther King III during a six-hour event that brought out many political leaders and legends.
"We are here to crown a new king," Lowery said to King at the time. "I am proud to engage in this symbolic passing of the torch. I don't have a jealous bone in my body. I want you to do well. God has been good to me. Take hold!"

A £6million state-of-the-art centre for children and young people with disabilities and their families has been opened in Fulham – with world renowned artist Stephen Wiltshire MBE giving his name to the community resource.
Designed with local families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, the Stephen Wiltshire Centre is a unique base in Queensmill Road, Fulham, where children and young and their families will be able to take part in activities and access information, advice and support.
The centre was opened by Stephen, a former pupil of Queensmill School in Shepherds Bush, who has autism. His incredibly detailed cityscapes, drawn from memory, have amazed the art world since he first received media attention as a teenager in the 1980s.
Stephen, now aged 44, was awarded the MBE in 2006.
"We believe strongly in this borough in doing nothing about Disabled people, without Disabled people – this is their centre, and families have been involved at every step of its creation," said Cllr Larry Culhane, H&F Cabinet Member for Children and Education.
"Stephen's story shows what can be achieved when young people are encouraged to fulfill their potential – which is exactly what the Stephen Wiltshire Centre will seek to do every day.
At the opening event on Sunday, Stephen unveiled a storyboard capturing the journey from consultation with families through to the opening of the centre, which will permanently adorn the centre. It shows how families worked with H&F Council to turn our joint vision into a reality.
He also presented prizes to young people with special needs and disabilities who won an art competition themed around the launch. The three winning pieces will inspire the creation of the centre's new logo, in the coming months.
The opening was attended by the families who have helped create the centre; families new to the centre; the wider community; musicians; a magician, and players from Fulham Football Club – plus their mascot Billy the Badger.
Nandini Ganesh and Mary Melsom from Parentsactive, which supports parents and carers with children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities spoke at the event and have played a big part in the creation of the centre and informing the services and support within it.
"We felt very proud to have Stephen Wiltshire himself come and open the centre," said Nandini.
"It was a heartwarming event and quite an emotional day.
"We've been working in partnership with Hammersmith & Fulham Council and we're really grateful to them. The centre means a lot to the families which use it."

Property Development Software provider, Mergilent, has migrated without support all its software modules to run on Microsoft .net environment using the Raincode COBOL compiler and its Visual Studio plug-in.
To migrate a software running on Mainframe, with CICS and VSAM, to a .NET environment with an SQL server database, Mergilent, an Australian Property Development Software provider evaluated the options on the market and after an extensive analysis opted for the Raincode Cobol Compiler for Windows. Mergilent rehosted the business logic in a .net environment, with all the front-end and back-end handling re-engineered and automatically generated by using in-house automated tools.
The original software developed by Mergilent, a tested and proven software that run for many years servicing some of the largest property developers in Australia, has been easily ported without support to Visual Studio .net environment thanks to the Raincode COBOL compiler for Windows and its Visual Studio plugin. The front end and back end handling was generated as vb.net classes and modules.
This provides unlimited capabilities for the re-hosted system to be extended and maintained within the .net environment using MS Visual Studio.
All future development can easily occur in an MS Visual Studio environment by using other programming languages such as vb.net and C#.
The next phase of the conversion is to make the application cloud-based, by converting the Microsoft forms to HTML based pages. Early tests conducted by Mergilent show that Raincode compiled code is easily called from HTML pages.

My Arms, Your Hearse treći je studijski album švedskog heavy metal sastava Opeth. Album je bio objavljen 18. kolovoza 1998. godine. Ovo je bio prvi album skupine koji su istovremeno objavile diskografske kuće Candlelight Records (u Europi) i Century Black (u SAD-u).

Pozadina
Nakon objave albuma Morningrise, Opeth je otišao na europsku turneju s Cradle of Filthom. Poslije nje su basist Johan DeFarfalla i bubnjar Anders Nordin napustili sastav te se potonji preselio u Brazil. My Arms, Your Hearse bio je prvi Opethov album na kojem je svirao bubnjar Martin Lopez. On se pridružio skupini nakon što je odgovorio na njen novinski oglas u kojem je tražila zamjenu za Andersa Nordina. Ubrzo nakon toga član grupe postao je basist Martín Méndez, prijašnji Lopezov kolega iz sastava i njegov prijatelj. Međutim, Méndez nije stigao naučiti basističke dionice na albumu te je stoga bas-gitaru tijekom snimanja albuma svirao frontmen Mikael Åkerfeldt. Sve skladbe na My Arms, Your Hearseu traju manje od deset minuta, što je u suprotnosti s prethodnim Opethovim albumom, Morningriseom, na kojem svaka pjesma traje dulje od deset minuta. Album je posvećen Leeju Barrettu (iz Candlelight Recordsa).

My Arms, Your Hearse, čiji je tekstualni koncept nastao prije same glazbe, bio je snimljen u ljeto 1997. u studiju Studio Fredman. Fredrik Nordström bio je producent albuma te je na posljednjoj skladbi svirao Hammond orgulje. Album je masterirao Göran Finnberg u studiju The Mastering Room. Album je nazvan prema tekstu pjesme "Drip, Drip" sastava Comus.

Nakon objave albuma, Opeth je održao nekoliko koncerata u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu te je potpisao ugovor s Peaceville Recordsom. Candlelight Records reizdao je My Arms, Your Hearse 2000. godine s dvije bonus pjesme: "Circle of the Tyrants" i "Remember Tomorrow", koje su bile poimence obrade grupa Celtic Frost i Iron Maiden.

Glazbeni stil
U usporedbi s debitantskim albumom Orchid i Morningriseom, Opethov se glazbeni stil na My Arms, Your Hearseu nastavlja razvijati; i dalje su prepoznatljivi death metal korijeni grupe, ali su prisutni i utjecaji progresivnog rocka. Na albumu se pojavljuju žestoki rifovi, double bass prijelazi i grubi vokali, ali i harmonijske solo dionice, mirni i akustični prijelazi te čisti vokali. Raznolike i atmosferične skladbe, kao i njihovi tekstovi, teku iz jedne u drugu. My Arms, Your Hearse prvi je Opethov konceptualni album te govori o pokojnoj osobi koja, kao očajavajući duh, promatra svoju voljenu suprugu - koju bi želio dovesti u svoj svijet - kako upoznaje novog partnera nakon njegove smrti.

Popis pjesama

Recenzije
My Arms, Your Hearse zadobio je pohvale kritičara. Steve Huey sa stranice AllMusic izjavio je da "skladbe logično teku jedna u drugu te uglavnom duge pjesme sadrže dovoljno varijacija u teksturi i atmosferi kako bi dosljedno zadržale slušateljevu pozornost". Jeb iz časopisa Metal Faith je komentirao da "svaka skladba na određeni način teče u drugu, dajući tako cijelom albumu osjećaj ujedinjenosti". Jeff iz časopisa Mid West Metal je komentirao: "Budući da nikad nisam slušao Opeth, smatrao sam ih tipičnim black metal sastavom koji pjeva o ljubavi, vezama i sličnim sranjima. Doista nisam očekivao da ću biti toliko impresioniran kad je započela pjesma 'April Ethereal', od tog sam trenutka bio preobraćen! I iako album sadrži neke blage dijelove i neke folklorne karakteristike, još uvijek je u pitanju vrlo intenzivan album grupe za koju se čini da nije zaboravila na koji je jebeni način došla do svojeg trenutnog životnog vrhunca." Christian Renner iz Metal Crypta je napisao: "Glazbene sposobnosti članova su briljantne kao i uvijek te su skladbe upravo onakve kakve biste ih i očekivali od ove nevjerojatno talentirane grupe. Ovo je još jedan odličan album za koji bi većina današnjih sastava dala svoju desnu ruku da ga je napisala te ta sama izjava sama po sebi govori mnogo o skladateljskom talentu tima Åkerfeldt/Lindgren." Pedro Azevedo iz webzina Chronicles of Chaos o albumu je rekao: "Iako neki dijelovi bubnjarskog zvuka ponegdje zvuče jako čudno (usput, novi bubnjar i basist), instrumentalna je izvedba očekivano odlična te su Akerfeldtovi vokali opet zapanjujući. Dijelovi visoke kvalitete teku albumom, čineći ga doista izvrsnim. My Arms, Your Hearse uistinu je briljantan dokaz da švedski metal nije u potpunosti stagnirao." Kritičar Tartarean Desirea''', Cseke Róbert, napisao je: "Ovaj je album snažniji i ljepši od većine današnje glazbe ovog žanra. Cijeli je ovaj album mješavina paklenog adrenalina i duše... My Arms, Your Hearse tako je moćan album da ga smatram jednim od najboljih u žanru." Demonic Tutor (Olivier Espiau) iz webzina Metal Storm komentirao je kako je album "putovanje prema raju i da:

Tim Henderson iz Brave Words & Bloody Knucklesa izjavio je: "Ovo će vam se svidjeti, ovo se jednostavno može opisati kao black metal verzija The Dark Side of the Moona u svom svojem ponosu i slavi. Zapravo, da se Gilmour pridružio Emperoru, ili da je Cradle zamijenio mjesto s Yesom - tako se doista može opisati My Arms, Your Hearse". U svojoj je recenziji za časopis Unrestrained! Chris Bruni izjavio kako je "My Arms, Your Hearse'' orijentir u ekstremnom metalu 1990-ih". Također je komentirao kako je album "zasigurno najljepše postignuće [sastava]" i da su "pjesme snažnije, žešće, kohezivnije, sa snažnijim zvukom koje im je omogućio Studio Fredman te su strukture i stavci pjesma jedni od najbolje ostvarenih struktura u metal glazbi".

The Iowa sugarmakers have been hard at work preparing for their maple syrup season. Late winter snowstorms can slow preparations and repairs. If mother nature cooperates, the sweet aroma of maple syrup cooking will soon fill the air. What is your favorite part of spring?
The warmer weather brings thoughts of maple syrup season. The good smells and sunshine will soon be here. It is time to get equipment ready. Purchase new and clean up the old!
Maple Season is not that far away!!
We will be having an open house on May 9th and 10th! Please click the image above for details. Hope to see you there!


Last July I wrote about the future of this blog and website and the need to raise some money for the plans I had. Since then many people have generously contributed and I thank them all, something I should have done earlier. My apologies.
I'm still not in a position to do everything I'd like but there will be continuing changes. More support would be welcome!


Vastavam web: President Donald Trump's announcement of import tariffs, and the prospect of retaliation by other countries, is prompting some fund managers to pare their holdings of U.S. stocks and look for opportunities overseas.The high turnover of key staff in the White House, including the exit of Gary Cohn, the director of the National Economic Council this week is undermining confidence in policy making also.
President Trump said Thursday that he would begin imposing import tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum in 15 days, sparking fears of a global trade war.Fund managers from Oppenheimer, Federated, and Wells Fargo are among those that now see international and emerging market equities as more attractive than the U.S., where the prospect of higher interest rates contributed to a slump in stocks in February, leaving the benchmark S&P 500 stock index up about 2.0 percent for the year-to-date, after turning in a 7.0 percent gain in January.
The gross domestic product of countries in the eurozone, for example, expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, outpacing the 2.5 percent gain in the U.S. economy over the same time. The Stoxx 600, an index of companies in the eurozone, trades at a trailing price to earnings ratio of 14.9, compared with a 22.7 P/E ratio for the S&P 500, according to Thomson Reuters data.


Sometimes I get the greatest satisfaction from the simplest of things. I often have this experience with food. I love those moments when you create something beautiful and delicious and it fills your body and soul with delight. I have not been having many of those satisfying kitchen experiences these days. Lacking excitement and filled with frustration, my healthy food explorations have been uneventful and devoid of delightful discoveries. So, when I unexpectedly experienced one of those increasingly rare moments of culinary satisfaction, I decided I better milk it for all its worth.
It all started with a little bottle of milk. We have been dealing with some food sensitivities over here for quite some time, so our food options have been pretty limited and my creativity in the kitchen is at a near standstill. It's not just the typical culprits either (you know the usual suspects: nuts, dairy, gluten, sugar). All sorts of "healthy" grains, legumes and vegetables have infiltrated our Do Not Eat camp. We have been struggling to find a milk alternative that is acceptable. Each time we thought we had made a brilliant and satisfying discovery, our hopes were dashed by the realization that, just like every other conveniently packaged milk alternative, our latest and greatest find actually contained one or more of those thickening/emuslifiying/shelf-stablizing no-no's. We finally discovered a certain non-dairy, soy-free, nut-free, organic, no GMO, low-sugar, non-carageenan containing (and rather tasty) coconut milk in a carton. Needless to say, we were elated! Until someone made the unfortunate discovery that one of those unusual suspects was lurking in the mix. Sigh. I searched high and low, in and out of every store I had access to, searching for that elusive and perfect alternative to milk. I couldn't find it. So, finally my hubby decided to take matters into his own hands and start making his own darn milk…from scratch. I kid you not. He got on that internet, found himself a few recipes, rummaged through the cupboards to locate the appropriate and acceptable seeds and whipped up not just one, but two batches of homemade seed milk! Pumpkin seed and sunflower seed. He has been diligently and systematically producing his own homemade milk every since. I am truly impressed and his milk is very delicious. This was my inspiration for my recent and spontaneous moment of kitchen creativity.
Believe it or not, hemp seeds are on hubby's list of dietary do-not's (at least for the time being). Since I am usually cooking for the both of us, I have been avoiding this super seed in most of my kitchen adventures. But, I was having one of those stay-home-Saturdays and hubby was gone for the weekend, so I decided to try out this whole milk-making thing using hemp seeds.
This little seed possesses some pretty nutritional super powers. Hemp seeds are a great source of plant protein and fiber and they are easy to digest. They also contain amino acids, zinc, iron, magnesium and vitamin A. And best of all, these tiny little nutritional superheros are known for the fact that they contain that magical ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids that is said to be ideal. I looked up some recipes for homemade hemp milk and naturally there were a million and one to choose from. Every recipe is different, yet they are all generally the same in that they call for hemp hearts, water and a high-speed blender. From there it's just a matter of finding a ratio that works for you and adding a flavor or two. In keeping with my unrecipe tendencies, I kind of averaged things out and this is what I ended up with.
Combine all ingredients in the blender and let it whir for a good 3-5 minutes or until the consistency is creamy and smooth.
Pour hemp milk INTO A BOWL (*see note below), using a fine mesh strainer lined with cheese cloth to filter out the pulp. You can also use one of those nifty nut milk bags, if you happen to have one on hand. Squeeze to extract all the liquid and discard the leftover pulp.
*I wanted my milk to be rather unflavored, hoping to use it in a few creative concoctions. So this recipe will probably not satisfy your sweet tooth.
*You can skip the straining step entirely if you like, but your milk will be quite thick. This is what my husband does. But in my humble opinion, it's the one thing preventing his milk from attaining true perfection.
*You can discard the pulp, however there are probably many clever ways in which it can be put to use. I saved mine and added it to the batch of Overnight Superseed Oatmeal that I later made. Next time I want to experiment with that a little more.
Oh, what a mess! I was so sad to see all that perfect milk go to waste. Well, no use crying over spilt milk, I suppose. Once I mopped up that precious bit of lost milk, I stepped back to admire my creation and instantly began pondering the many tasty ways in which I could use it. Glancing at a bowl of organic summer stone fruits sitting idly nearby, I'm pretty sure I heard the peaches scream, Helloooo, lady! Peaches and cream?! I got one of those random, I-don't-know-where-it-came-from ideas and I roasted a pan of peaches and plums. This milk is somewhat thick, like the consistency of cream and not watery like many nut milks can be. I think it lends itself well to things like a creamy latte or a simple bowl of fruit and cream. After allowing them to slightly cool, I drenched a few in this perfectly suited hemp milk and drizzled a tiny bit of honey on top. Dessert for breakfast…who doesn't love that?
Then, in a rare moment of clarity and planning ahead, I prepared a large serving of my favorite busy-day breakfast ingredients. Overnight oats are so easy to make, can be stored in the fridge for several days and lend themselves well to just about any grab-n-go receptacle. I put a super seed twist on mine this time, increasing the nutrient density slightly by adding some ground flax seed, chia seed, my leftover hemp seed pulp and cinnamon. Mix it all in a bowl with some of that perfect milk and after an overnighter in the refrigerator your nutritious oats are ready to go. I like mine dressed up (I find them boring unadorned) and they sport so many styles with fashionable taste and grace. These oats are perfect for breakfast on hot summer mornings, as they taste delicious cold. But they warm-up nicely, as well. Adaptability…one of my favorite qualities in a recipe.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir, cover and store in the fridge overnight.
Over the next few days I found a few perfect ways to enjoy my homemade hemp milk. It was delightful in a cup of hot matcha tea for an afternoon me-time moment. And coffee…well, that goes without saying. But the milkshake…mmm, the milkshake. That non-dairy, soy-free, nut-free, organic, no GMO, low-sugar, non-carageenan containing, Chocolate Mint Chip Shake really hit the spot!
Nothing beats the heat on a summer day like a good old-fashioned milkshake. Though simple to make, this particular shake is far from old-fashioned. I am not usually one for chocolate, especially when it comes to cakes and shakes. I would almost always choose vanilla over chocolate. Except when mint is involved. There is just something about the combination of chocolate and mint that I really do adore. So I threw a couple frozen bananas in the blender with a few tablespoons of raw cacao powder, one or two spoonfuls of crunchy cacao nibs, a teaspoon or more of mint extract and a handful of ice cubes. I added however many cups of homemade hemp milk, blended on high speed until it reached that perfect milkshake consistency.
Now I know that many of you hate that vague sort of "recipe", but I don't know what to tell you. That's just the way it is. Adapt. Embrace the versatility, enjoy the flexibility and just remember this basic formula: combine, whir, stir, taste, adjust. Repeat if necessary. We are given so many guidelines in life, but a guideline is just that, a guide. Never be afraid to wander outside the lines to create something perfectly suited for you. And when you do, be sure to milk it for all its worth.
Seek satisfaction in the little things, create your own perfection and enjoy.

A Tremors TV Show Is Happening, Because Kevin Bacon
Nick Venable
Published: Nov. 24. 2015 6:19 PM
In the 25 years that have passed since Tremors hit the big screen, countless numbers of monster movies and horror comedies have been released, but few have managed to straight up top Ron Underwood's cult classic for sheer enjoyment. Can that same kind of lightning strike twice, considering that didn't really happen in the multiple sequels? We'll probably find out soon, as a new Tremors TV series is currently in development. The best news, though? Kevin Bacon will be back!
That's right, after more than two decades of keeping his distance from the franchise, Bacon will return to the Graboid-filled town of Perfection and will indeed reprise his classic role of Valentine "Val" McKee. As well, he'll take on a behind-the-scenes role of executive producer. No word yet on whether or not Fred Ward will come back to again take on the role of Earl Basset, but it only seems right.
Beyond the presences of Val and Perfection, there were unfortunately no details about this new Tremors story offered up by EW. Really, though, that's a solid enough foundation that we're already on board. Penning this new version will be Andrew Miller, who is arguably most notable for creating the short-lived CW fantasy drama The Secret Circle. It's hard to tell whether or not he'll bring the goods, but the first film was written by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, the guys who wrote the Short Circuit movies and Ghost Dad. Expectations are moot here.
While Bacon is the only actual person named in an executive producer role, the project is being put together by Universal Cable Productions and the micro-horror factory Blumhouse Productions. (Fun fact: Bacon's next movie 6 Miranda Drive is under the Blumhouse shingle.) We certainly hope that Gale Anne Hurd returns as a producer, as that could help Tremors find a good home on TV. As if the concept alone wouldn't.
It's the early days, so there's no telling what network will get to call Tremors its own, but this is the kind of show that can't possibly exist on broadcast networks. It's a special effects-driven monster flick, so that just screams Starz or Netflix, though I'd definitely take FX or AMC on this. Syfy is also a notable competitor, especially since they have a working relationship with Universal Cable Production on other projects.
Following the initial 1990 film, the Tremors franchise grew over the next 25 years with four different film sequels (all direct-to-video), and the most recent of them was released THIS YEAR. Back in 2003, the then-Sci-Fi Channel brought the Tremors-verse to TV for one short season that was received well enough by fans. But this new series, should it come to fruition, would definitely be the biggest thing since the first film.
Tremors would make for a quick return to television for Kevin Bacon, who was last seen in The Following, which was canceled by Fox earlier this year. While you're waiting to hear where this project lands, say "yes" to free beer and check out Bacon's latest movie, the intense Jon Watts thriller Cop Car.

Nick is a Cajun Country native, and is often asked why he doesn't sound like that's the case. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.

At the heart of Mother Earth is fire, the heart of all creation. Just as the Earth, our mother, has within her a heart that forever provides warmth and light; we too, as a people, have at the heart of our communities a sacred fire. It is our direct link to the Creator. Our prayers, through tobacco, are ensured passage when placed in a sacred fire.


Rather than use the Holiday gift card my company gave out to everyone on something sensible, I decided to indulge my inner child and acquire my first quad rotor. I've been thinking about buying a proper drone one of these days so I thought I should start with something more ... attainable.
After doing a bit of research, I "landed" on WLToys' model V686, a lightweight (no registration needed) but not tiny quad with 2.4 GHz controller and WIFI camera. There are a few versions of the V686 but I bought the "K" model that comes with mount on the controller for your iOS or Android app-supported device to use in FPV (first-person view) mode.
The camera isn't built into the chassis but rather clips to a belly mount. Interestingly enough, there are four ports on this quad: one 3-pin that the included 2MP (VGA 30FPS) camera uses, plus a 2-pin and 2 4-pin ports. Looking into this, I discovered that you can actually purchase optional devices that use the same mount as the camera. One is an upgraded HD camera that apparently captures sound with the video (mine doesn't), one is a water squirter (!), and the other is a bubble blower (!!!). The Phantom 3 might be the ultimate bad-boy drone but you can't blow bubbles with it!
Anyway, with two decent inaugural flights under my belt, I've got a pretty good bead on the pros and cons of this entry-level FPV Quad.
FPV: This is a truly cool feature that usually only comes on true "drone" class quad rotors, or at least models that require FAA registration. As you'll see by the videos of my first two flights below, the video is far from perfect but serviceable for the price. I haven't captured any stills yet but will on the next flight. I will say there is virtually zero video lag when flying in FPV mode, regardless of how far away it was. That kind of surprised me.
Control: This is my first quad so I don't have a lot to compare this to but the V686 seems instantly responsive.
Durability: To be honest, this quad seems rather delicate when you handle it. It is so light, it gave me the impression is would shatter upon the inevitable high-speed crash this newb was bound to cause. I can report with absolute certainty that this is one tough little bugger. My inital squirrely attempts to fly it was in my living room and I had no idea what I was doing. 4 or 5 high-speed impacts with ceiling, wall and furniture later, I figured our how to "feather" the power and became comfortable with the controls.
Price: Sure there are less expensive quads but from the extensive (about 10 minutes) research I did, this is one of if not the least expensive FPV-capable quad. There are several others with integrated cameras but they don't support FPV.
Parts!: As a newb, I'm not sure about other manufacturers but I was very surprised by the depth of the parts support from WLToys. You can literally purchase any part for this thing: not just the typical breaking parts like blades but also body, gears, motors, led lights and covers, and even a replacement circuit board!
Wind: Obviously this ain't no Phantom. Wind (even a decent breeze) is problematic for the V686. In the video of the inaugural flight yesterday late afternoon, you'll see I was struggling with the breeze a lot. After recharging the battery I took it up again after dark. The breeze had kicked up a bit more and I almost lost it when I was about 80 feet up and a gust sent it over my neighbor's house. Luckily it crash landed right between my neighbor's house and the other on the other side and I was able to recover it easily. Lesson learned. My flight this morning at the school down the street (second video) had almost no wind and was a lot easier to control.
Bottom line: The V686K is rad and totally worth the price. I can't imagine a better entry-level quad option for folks looking to dip their toes in the whole drone/quad rotor thing.

An Intentional Understanding of Photographs
MPhil thesis copyright © 2002 by Jim Batty. All rights reserved.
You can download a PDF copy of An Intentional Understanding of Photographs at the right — chapter by chapter — subject to the copyright conditions below.
This thesis is a philosophical discussion about how we understand pictures — especially photographs. It begins by discussing some of the theories about how pictures represent their subject matter, and then develops a view in which the intention of the photographer is seen as central to how we understand the photograph he or she has produced. It is written primarily for professional philosophers, and will appear arcane to the casual reader. Chapter 1 is introductory and the most accessible, though, and worth having a go with if you are curious about this complex but highly interesting area of understanding.
For an easy introduction to photographic representation have a look at my article How do Photographs Represent Things? — Of puppets, philosophy and pictorial representation.
Technical abstract
The aim of this MPhil thesis is to contribute to a philosophical characterisation of photographic understanding which accounts for the role of a photographer's intention in producing a photograph. While four key elements are acknowledged as necessary for a full characterisation of photographic understanding – the causal, intentional, cognitive and contextual – only the causal and intentional are treated. It is emphasised that photographs are the result of a photographic process. Paintings are used as a foil to photographs throughout the work.
The essay adopts Richard Wollheim's seeing-in thesis as its underlying theory of depiction, but critically examines and ultimately rejects Wollheim's claims for a 'species of seeing' peculiar to photographs. It seeks to determine whether we can dispense altogether with the intentional element in understanding photographs through an investigation of Roger Scruton's 'ideal photograph' view and general notions of photographic transparency. The essay concludes with a critical examination of photographic realism by evaluating a number of 'likeness' theses.

Do we have a Faith as big as a mustard seed? Do we have a faith strong enough to forgive and forget?
Luke 17:1-6 1 Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him." 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." 6 So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Global OD case number nine
Paul Wight is the Head of R&D in Denver. Sales are slow, profitability is down and the management has stated that WE have to cut costs.
Paul oversees several development sites: in Brunswick, NJ, Vancouver BC, Québec City and Manchester UK.
Paul has been asked to close down one site as well as downsize his whole organization by 30%. Paul will convened all his site managers in Denver to execute this plan.
The biggest issue is which site to close. The head of the Manchester site is Chester Man.
Chester really mistrusts Paul to make the right decision; Chester believes Paul does not like the time zone difference, the late night and early morning Concalls as well as the management overhead of flying to Manchester once a quarter in coach class. Chester attributes to Paul a "hidden agenda"
which will lead to the closing of Manchester.
Denise Thibadeau leads the Québec site. She believes Paul will close the Quebec site due to a hidden agenda stemming from communication difficulties
(accents) and costs which stem from the need to comply with language laws to protect the French language, albeit that development costs are subsidized by the provincial government via tax concessions.
Paul always shows lack of patience on calls when he cannot understand what people say "the first time around".
Denise and Chester have been speaking informally as of late on how to "throw a block" at Paul's attributed attempt to close one "of the remote sites".
Denise and Chester have agreed to form a coalition. Despite the animosity between Denise and Chester, they will agree to cooperate and assume joint responsibility for continuous engineering of a profitable legacy product, and jointly commit to develop a new platform in record time and very low costs. They have agreed to lie about how long this will take and "clean up the mess" later on. Denise and Chester will both build on their strengths of low turnover to make this happen, forcing this decision on Paul via Paul's boss, who himself is a European.
Paul has asked his HR manager to prepare an activity to enable trust in this session. Ms Gloria Ramsbottom prepared a cooking class, followed by a webinar of a horse running faster and faster, albeit eating less.
Paul closed the Vancouver site. Denise and Chester grew their sites by 20%.
Denise will replace Paul who is "moving on to his next assignment" in March.

Seventh post in the series. You can read the other posts here.
I'm Patrik Dekhla, scripter and gameplay programmer. I joined Frictional back in 2012 and since then I've worked full-time on SOMA, making the gameplay feel awesome and terrifying.
Growing up, I always had games around me thanks to my gamer dad, which sparked my gaming interest at a very early age. This developed into a bit of an obsession over time, and for a large part of my childhood almost all my thoughts circled around games. If I wasn't playing games, I pretended real-life was a game or drew game levels on pieces of paper and "played" them in my head. I'm not sure how healthy all of that was.
I always loved it when games came with editors, as I usually found playing around with those even more fun than the games themselves. I tried learning QBasic (an old programming language) when I was 9 or 10 years old and managed to make some terribly written text adventures in it. That was about as close I got to making games for a very long time. Even though it seemed like a cool thing to do, I just didn't know where to start.
As I grew up, I stayed interested in games but outgrew the obsession a bit. I studied acting for a good while and thought for sure that was what I would be doing professionally in the future. Then, as I was looking to take the next step in my education, I got a postcard dropped on me from The Game Assembly, a game development school, and something convinced that I had to give this a shot. I sent them an application and got accepted.
The education was brutal. Some weeks we would only leave school to eat or sleep. Some nights I slept in a couch at school to save time. We had tests that almost everyone failed at. We had to come in on weekends to fix old projects. We got conflicting, vague or just plain weird guidance from our teachers. The entire experience bounced back and forth between amazing and horrifying. But in the end it was worth it for all the things I had learned. Game development was no longer a mystery.
After my 6 month internship at a studio in Denmark, I saw a blog post about Frictional hiring a scripter and decided to apply. After an interview, a work tests and some nervous waiting, I got a nice mail from Jens letting me know I was welcome aboard.
Though I get to do work in a lot of different programming, scripting and design areas, most of the time I work in AngelScript, scripting events and interactions specific to a certain level.
My work on a level starts after Thomas has written the design and an artist has had the chance to build the most essential parts of the level. I have a long meeting with Thomas about the design, divide the different scenes and events into tasks and get started.
The first thing I do is to script a rough version of the most important events to get a sense of how things will play out. As I do this, some design issues usually make themselves apparent and I have to deviate a bit from Thomas' instructions. This is natural as it's not possible to write a flawless design document without trying things out in the game.
Once I'm done with this rough outline, I get some feedback on the progress so far and start to flesh things out further. This means among other things that the events get a dose of nice looking screen effects and sounds, some of the timing is reworked and fail-safes are added in case the player behaves in unexpected ways. Some puzzles and events need multiple iterations before they feel quite right, and some times they simply never do and they get removed and replaced by something completely different.
Eventually the entire team gets to play through the level and give their feedback. Based on the feedback I spend about a week more tweaking and fixing until the level is all nice and shiny. Then I move on to a new level.
Of course, the level is still not done. There are still proper sounds that need to be added, art that has to be polished and voiceovers that have to be implemented; not to mention all the redesign that happens as we refine the game as a whole. So eventually I'll have to return to the level once more to tweak and fix.
That should at least give you an idea of what it is that I do. It's a very fun process really. With SOMA we're trying to do a lot of interesting stuff around how the player interacts with the story, which means that with each level I work on I'm faced with some totally new and cool design challenges to overcome. I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to some of my stuff when the game is released!

In January, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) proposed the idea of raising marginal income tax rates — the tax imposed on each additional dollar of income after a pre-determined cut-off — on high incomes ($10 million+) as a means of raising revenue for key investments and addressing growing income inequality. Since then, a number of members of Congress have put forward ideas about how to tax higher incomes at higher rates.
According to a recent poll, the majority of Americans agree with Representative Ocasio-Cortez's proposal.
State policymakers across the country have also put forward proposals to make higher incomes subject to higher tax rates. The Center on Budget & Policy Priorities has catalogued these efforts here. As one example, in his 2019 budget, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy proposed implementing a 10.75 percent rate on gross incomes over $1 million, in addition to other tax increases, to help raise revenue for New Jersey's priorities.
Here in North Carolina, the General Assembly has the ability to place a higher rate — up to 7 percent — on incomes over $1 million and provide the dollars needed to meet community priorities.
Earlier today, we released an analysis of what this would mean for North Carolina. A graduated tax structure that taxes higher incomes at higher rates — particularly one that places a top marginal rate of 7 percent on income over $1 million — could raise roughly $362 million in revenue for priorities in communities across our state and address, in part, the state's upside-down tax code.
If North Carolina seeks to fulfill its commitments and ensure prosperity for all of its residents, then it must take advantage of sound policies that create opportunities to raise revenue. As research shows, such policies have been enacted elsewhere without negative effects on the economy.
Marginal income tax rates on high incomes can help North Carolinians afford investments that decrease racial inequities, build economic opportunity, and spur growth, such as high-quality education, improved support for low-income families, and better roads and other infrastructure improvements.

Finding a chiropractor in Lewes can be overwhelming, but your search doesn't have to be. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Lewes, you have options.
A referral from your primary care doctor or specialist should point you toward a reputable Lewes chiropractor. A doctor should only offer recommendations that they would use for themselves and family members. This can help you narrow down your search. If you have special criteria, such as location or their technique, let your doctor know that too.
Once you've finished asking around, compare how many people have recommended the same Lewes chiropractor. Chances are that is a great place to focus.
Your chiropractor can treat mechanical issues musculoskeletal system. However, your Lewes chiropractor can't treat all associated pain with these areas. Severe arthritis, osteoporosis, broken or fractured bones, infected bones, and bone tumor related pain are a few conditions your chiropractor may not treat.
Keep in mind you might not be aware of what you prefer or dislike until after you've had your first few treatments. You should be comfortable expressing yourself. Your Lewes chiropractor should listen to your wishes.
Skill and technique do improve with time, so you might prefer an experienced Lewes chiropractor. A few years or longer, in addition to their education, is a decent amount of time for a chiropractor to hone their skills.
You should get along well with your Lewes chiropractor and feel comfortable around them. This includes speaking to them about your care as well as when they touch you. If you don't feel at-ease, you should consider finding a new chiropractor.
Lewes ( LOO-iss) is an incorporated city on the Delaware Bay in eastern Sussex County, Delaware. According to the 2010 census, the population is 2,747. Along with neighboring Rehoboth Beach, Lewes is one of the principal cities of Delaware's rapidly growing Cape Region.

5.1 How to Buy Decred
6 More Information About Decred
6.1 The Team
Should you buy Decred (DCR) today? What is Decred, how did it come to be, and what is its future? Will it grow, or will it, like so many other altcoins, go into hibernation? If you are wondering about these questions and want a clear and concise answer, you have stumbled upon the right webpage. Applying algorithmic analysis on historical data gathered from various sources, we can make a reasonable guess on the projected future of Decred. Without further ado, let us then first delve into the origin of this crypto coin and its historical performance with this Decred price prediction article.
Conceived and designed by Jake Yacom-Piatt, the CEO of CompanyO, Decred tackles one of the most stubborn problems that have plagued bitcoin ever since its popularization: the problems of centralization, or better put, of oligopoly. Bitcoin mining, which requires an enormous amount of energy, is out of reach for ordinary users with ordinary computers and, as a consequence, is being monopolized by a handful of corporate firms(such as Blockstream) that exercise baleful influence on an entire blockchain developer community.
This turn of events was defeating the purpose, or rather betraying the promise, of the blockchain revolution: decentralization. Information is wrenched from the hands of central custodians and distributed to the network as a whole. Bitcoin, which started out as a rebellion against central banks and their corporate beneficiaries, was turning into with its sought to destroy.
In a bid to reform bitcoin, and to restore its original promise, Yacom-Piatt, along with an anonymous developer named _ingsoc, launched, in 2016, a novel currency called Decred, which stands for decentralized credit; its aim was to overhaul the entire governance model of bitcoin so that nascent oligopolies could be nipped in the bud.
How does Decred work?
Decred has promulgated its own constitution, which lists, among others, the principle of "Multi-Stakeholder Inclusivity." That means, in plain language, a balance between the interests of the oligarchs and those of the community at large. In other words, respect the wishes of miners (who exercise, in any blockchain, an influence commensurate with their multimillion-dollar ASIC equipment) and of the users who merely buy and spend.
Decred relies on a consensus mechanism that is neither purely POW (proof-of-work, which favors miners) or POS (proof-of-stake, which eliminates mining altogether) but rather something that blends the two. Precisely how this hybrid mechanism is structured is too complicated to be explained in an introductory article like this one. However, it is ingenious enough to ensure that no interest group can override others in making decisions.
This unique mechanism is managed in a public platform called Politeia, which was launched in 2018. Politeia allows anybody to submit proposals regarding the future development of Decred. Once the proposal is submitted, screened for spam, and vetted by admins, it is put up for a vote. The proposal can be edited after user feedback, and once the community votes for it, work can begin. Since Politeia is an open-source platform, any crypto network can be adopted that wishes to broader the user input in their governance.
Decred thus arises out of profound disappointments of bitcoin and responds to a real need. It wishes to inject a form of democratic consensus in a public sphere that a handful of oligarchs have threatened to consume. It remains an open question whether it can deliver on its ambitious agenda. Is the architecture of Politeia, sophisticated as it is, stable and robust enough to balance the interests of its various groups? Will it retain its stability once it begins to garner mainstream adoption?
Will it be able to contain malicious players? These are profound and perennial questions that political philosophers, beginning with Aristotle, have mulled over for two millennia. Decred cannot be expected to solve them at a stroke. However, we can applaud it sincerely for daring to raise them for the first time in the crypto space.
Decred Historical Price Analysis
After its ICO in Feb 2016, Decred rallied from under $1 to $2.39. It then languished in the range of 70-80 cents before the crypto bull run of 2017 and 2018, when it scaled the unprecedented heights of $110 to $120. It then crashed to the more sustainable range of $20-$30 but has since risen to a high 50s. Overall, the price trajectory (initial surge, languishing crawl, exuberant bull-run, crash, and late revival) has been observed in numerous other currencies that were launched in the past five years.
Current Price, Market Cap, & Supply Details
Decred is up by 15.47% at the time of writing, with the price of $58.58 per token. The altcoin has a market cap of $752.75 million, a total supply of 21.00 million DCR.

Decred Future Price Forecast Predictions
Price prediction relies on the careful use of algorithmic techniques for the analysis of historical data and a projection of that data in the short term and long term future. Recently analysts have been using deep learning or machine learning tools to identify the trends that traditional techniques are likely to miss. At any rate, artificial intelligence has been an increasingly popular tool to analyze large blocks of data, including historical data of cryptocurrencies.

Decred Price Prediction 2021
Decred has tremendous growth potential. With sound fundamentals and a passionate developer community, Decred is likely to upgrade itself constantly and meet milestones after milestones in its quest to achieve the gold standard of cryptocurrency.
As per the forecast and algorithmic analysis, the price of 1 Decred token (DCR) could potentially be around $59.1 in 2021.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum are still likely to remain the undisputed dual monarchs of the crypto space, Decred will surely gain momentum with its inclusive governance philosophy and its increasingly sophisticated technological innovations.
As per the forecast and algorithmic analysis, the price of 1 Decred token (DCR) could potentially be around $ 109.9 in 2022.
This year will be a turning point not only for Decred but for cryptocurrencies as a whole. For this is the year in which blockchain is likely to go mainstream in society, with every mom-and-pop investor with his or her own crypto portfolio. This year will also decide which coins will survive and which will go bust. Decred is likely not only to survive but also to thrive.
As per the forecast and algorithmic analysis, the price of 1 Decred token (DCR) could potentially be around $133.7 in 2025.
Is Decred a Good Investment?
The question is a technical one about future price and a philosophical one that goes into the very heart of the meaning of democratic control. Decred is proud of its sophisticated governance structure that aims to include stakeholders from every corner. But it is easier to maintain democracy in a city-state than in a transnational empire, and Decred, as yet, is a city-state, small, homogenous, and tied with bonds of community.
Will it be able to maintain its governance architecture once it begins to attract hundreds of thousands of mainstream users who seek to make their voices heard? Will it be able to give everyone his or her due? How will conflicting interests be balanced? There is no answer to this question. It is a perennial puzzle, and only time will tell how everything will turn out.
How to Buy Decred
Decred is available in such mainstream exchanges as Binance or Bittrex. In order to buy Decred, you must first open an account and secure that account with two-factor authentication. Decred can be bought with Bitcoin or Ethereum in these exchanges. If you wish to use fiat currency, it might be a better idea to go to Coinbase to first exchange some bitcoin for fiat and use that bitcoin to buy currency in Binance.
Be it said that DCR, which was built on bitcoin codebase, is not an ERC-20 token, which is built on Ethereum. Decred, therefore, cannot be stored in any ERC-20 compatible wallets. DCR compatible wallets can be downloaded from the Decred website.
More Information About Decred
Decred relies on a novel growth model in which contributors are remunerated for their work. Boasts of a number of contractors who have contributed to the project. Jake Yacom-Piatt is the project lead, while Jonathan Zeppettini leads international operations.
Decred is a response to a number of severe flaws that have plagued cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin ever since their emergence. These flaws–those of centralization, oligarchic control, of irresponsible governance–threaten to undermine the very aim of decentralized governance for which blockchain is invented. In order to get a handle on these ills, Decred seeks to inject a measure of democratic control into the system. It remains to be seen whether this project will be successful.
There is no doubting the technological caliber of the Decred team, nor the internal coherence and the intellectual ambition of its long-term agenda. But human nature being what it is, the price of democracy might be too steep to bear.

DICE Forgot About Building Collision In Battlefield 2042
Players of DICE's latest military shooter are using collision-less walls to hide from enemies
Levi Winslow
Hm. Wonder where this glass leads me, oh snap...
Gif: Darktoothone / Kotaku
Battlefield 2042 is shaping up to be a broken mess of a game, one that probably could've benefited from another month—or year—in development. Still, it's officially out on most major platforms, and players are once again having a blast with aspects of it that the designers never intended them to. This time, instead of spectacularly busted vehicles being the source of enjoyment, it's busted level geometry, as players have discovered that some building walls have no collision whatsoever, allowing them to pull off some sneaky shenanigans like hiding helicopters in places they shouldn't be able to access at all.

Incredible Halo Infinite Map Captures Iconic Toy Story Room In Its Full Glory
As first spotted by VG24/7, Reddit user Darktoothone shared a clip showcasing the issue. While playing on Hourglass, one of Battlefield 2042's newest maps based in Doha, Qatar and lined with glass skyscrapers, the Redditor pilots his helicopter right through the walls of a large building. Unfortunately, it rapidly becomes apparent that he's not the only one who had the idea to hide out within the level geometry, as he discovers another helicopter has already hidden itself within the permeable walls of the structure, and before long, that chopper asserts its claim to the space by making short work of Darktoothone.
Another clip making the rounds, this one from Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek, demonstrates a different issue with some of the skyscrapers on Hourglass. At the helm of an F-35E Panther fighter jet, Shroud decides to test out what happens if he flies directly into some of those structures. As you can see in the video below, the jet just bounces off five or six entirely different buildings before blowing up in hilarious fashion.
You could say Shroud's clip features impenetrable walls, structures far too solid to break through. But you could also call the jet indestructible. Regardless, this isn't supposed to happen in a "realistic" military shooter.
So it seems developer DICE forgot to implement collision on some of the buildings in Battlefield 2042, and made others unrealistically safe to collide with at hundreds of miles an hour. Be careful when flying out there. You never know whether you'll just bounce off a building, or encounter a helicopter lying in wait for you within the ethereal walls of one.

There appears to be a lot wrong with Battlefield 2042. Alongside issues with helicopters and hovercrafts, which are supposed to get nerfed soon, players are blowing up tanks with snipers faster than rockets while others are finding themselves trapped in XP farms like lamb to the slaughter. The game is having a rough go at things, making it feel like it came out at the wrong time.

Why ASM is Awesome
Designed to Advance Your Career
The objective at ASimpleModel.com is to make financial modeling instruction and private equity training accessible and affordable. The financial modeling curriculum focuses on the three most important models for any entry-level position: the three-statement model, the DCF model and the LBO model. The Private Equity Curriculum goes beyond the LBO model to explain how professionals source, structure and close transactions.
It may help you write a brilliant business plan, land a job (if you want one) or even buy a business yourself.
About ASimpleModel.com
I originally launched ASimpleModel.com in 2013 to demonstrate that while some models can be complex, most are simple. They all have varying degrees of detail, but the mechanics are generally the same.
I also believe financial modeling is one of the best ways to truly understand accounting and finance topics that might otherwise sound abstract. The first time I built a fully integrated financial statement model from scratch was a true light-bulb moment for me. In that process everything I had read about accounting and financial statements finally clicked.
Since that time the content on ASM has evolved to include detailed instruction covering the private equity process. I have worked in private equity for most of my career, and I find it is a truly fascinating industry. Whether you want to pursue entrepreneurship through acquisition as an independent sponsor, or work for a private equity firm, the content on this website will help you get there.
My objective with all of this content remains the same: to share and condense my professional experience so that others can work up the learning curve expeditiously and focus on what truly matters.

That's me in the image above (on the right). My name is Peter Lynch, and I am an investor and the founder of ASimpleModel.com. I was previously a founding member of the investment team at Hilltop Opportunity Partners ("HOP"), a merchant banking business launched by Dallas-based Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH). Before joining HOP, I spent 8 years working for Argenta Partners, a private equity firm focused on control-only equity investments. From 1989 through 2016 Argenta achieved a cumulative annual internal rate of return for all invested limited partner funds of 27% net of GP carried interest and fees. Prior to that, I worked with the M&A team at Rabobank International in New York City, and with JPMorgan in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in Santiago, Chile. To prepare myself for the professional world I attended the University of Pennsylvania. (LinkedIn Profile)
I have been working in private equity for 10+ years now. My favorite part of the job is interacting with successful founder entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level. We generally look at 300+ opportunities for every investment we make, and I believe it is this dialogue that has helped me understand what is confusing to entrepreneurs about accounting and finance. The content on this website has benefited enormously from these conversations.
While I am serious about the practice of investing, I generally do not take myself too seriously. You will find nerdy attempts at humor littered throughout these pages (emphasis on "attempts"). Please feel free to reach out through the contact page with any questions (or bad jokes…).

Q: Google Maps script in particular format I have a Google Maps script in this format:
function initMap()
{
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {center: {lat: 45.9, lng: 25.0}, zoom:7,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, disableDoubleClickZoom:true, scrollwheel:false, ...});

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: {lat:46.1, lng:25.4}, map:map, icon:'../images/Marker.png});
}

I'd like to know how the var marker part of the script must look like if there were more than one points to be displayed. Note: I have seen JavaScript examples on StackExchange which use arrays etc. - one of the best is here: Google Maps Script - but I want my script to use the format above, which is very simple.

A: The google.maps.Marker class can only create a marker for a single point at at time, so you'll need some way to repeat that for all your points.
I'd say have an array of objects, each of which has the latitude and longitude values as separate properties.  And any other properties you might want to associate with all your points, such as titles and icons.  e.g.
var places = [
    {
        latitude: 46.1,
        longitude: 25.4
        title: "Place 1",
        icon: "blue.png"
    },
    {
        latitude: 54.1,
        longitude: 0.0
        title: "Place 2"
        icon: "red.png"
    },
    // etc
];

Then when you want to create the markers, just loop over the array:
for (var i = 0; i < places.length; i++) {
    marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: {lat:places[i].latitude, lng: places[i].longitude},
        title: places[i].title,
        map: map,
        icon: '../images/' + places[i].icon
    });
}

When you are giving a tree service a call you can pretty much expect the same old services. Cutting and pruning trees, maybe getting your lawn mowed. If you even have a lawn around here from September to April. Let's get real though, what we offer are true professional services. No disrespect to the average landscaper, but we have the tools and knowledge to be able to truly provide a diagnostic of the current condition that your tree happens to be in. If you are sitting there right now thinking, what do I care about my trees condition I just want someone to cut it. That is exactly the problem. If you do not know the condition how will you know how to cut it properly!
We have gone fancy there, but in the end, the point that we want to get across is that we provide superior services. That being said, just because you will be getting hot shot arborists to pay you a visit does not mean that you are going to have to spend a fortune on tree care. If you are into caring for your trees in the proper manner and want a company that you can trust to take care of them for you look no further. In fact here is a list of our main services so that you can give us a call.

Q: Accessing class tree from its field's tree I'd like to write a macro which enriches case classes. When I declare my case class like this:
case class User(int id, @tagged name)
I want to be able to inject some stuff into the Tree of this class having only annottees. So far I was only able to reach the Symbol of the enclosing class, but looks like it's not enough (see Eugene's answer here). I also don't want to use deprecated api of c.enclosingClass.
Is there any way to reach parent ClassDef in paradise 2.1.0 (Scala 2.11)?
