'Only in America' revisited: Boater taking new voyage with hopes of similar outcome
June 2, 2011 | 12:13 pm
Boater John Mirassou hopes to revisit his youth. His vessel of choice, however, is not a time machine but a 19-foot Montauk Boston Whaler.
Mirassou was in his 20s when he and two friends hopped aboard his 17-foot-long Whaler in 1987 and took a 6,100-mile adventure from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to New Orleans, via New York and Chicago.
Along the way, they relied on the generosity of the people they met, both on the water and in nearby towns. People took them in, fed them and formed a kind of network of camaraderie, said Mirassou, who chronicled the experience in his book, "Only in America: An American Boating Adventure."
"The book really seems to strike a chord with people," the 48-year-old Torrance resident said. "I believe it shows who we were, who we can be, who we want to be."
Mirassou has decided to test the waters, so to speak, to see for himself if the hospitality shown more than two decades ago still prevails today. On Friday, he'll be departing on a monthlong, 1,100-mile odyssey from Norfolk, Va., to Boston, traveling through waterways and cities large and small with plans to arrive in Boston Harbor to participate in the Parade of Boats on the 4th of July.
"Upon reading the story, people are asking if the America portrayed in the book still exists. So we're going to board the Whaler again and find out," he said.
Joining Mirassou will be John Bertsch, who was along on the original journey in 1987, as well as friend Marty Burke.
A professional producer/videographer is also expected to be joining the group -- albeit on a support vessel -- filming the adventure for a possible documentary or television series as well as producing daily updates and weekly "webisodes," which can be followed on Mirassou's website.
Here's hoping Mirassou finds that some things never change, and that the charity of Americans toward others is as strong as it ever was. Even without a time machine.

Cape Vincent submits letter of complaint to state ahead of BP wind workshop
Credit: By JAEGUN LEE, TIMES STAFF WRITER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2012, watertowndailytimes.com ~~
Fed up with BP Wind Energy's "unresponsiveness," town officials have filed a complaint asking the state Public Service Commission to take note of the community's "concerns and frustrations" in its evaluation of BP's community outreach plan.
BP submitted to the PSC its revised public involvement program plan concerning the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm project last month.
It is the first hurdle BP needs to clear before submitting a project application to a state siting board under New York's Article X energy law.
For the past couple months, Cape Vincent officials have publicly criticized wind project manager Richard Chandler for refusing to answer several questions at an Oct. 23 joint Lyme-Cape Vincent meeting.
Hoping to get their message across to the higher-ups at BP, Cape Vincent Town Council and Planning Board members also sent a joint letter to Katrina Landis, CEO of BP Alternative Energy, criticizing Mr. Chandler's "unwillingness" to cooperate with local officials.
Cape Vincent lawmakers eventually got a response from Larry Folks, senior vice president and chief development officer for BP Wind, but it only added to their frustration.
Mr. Folks, in his Nov. 20 response letter to the town officials, said BP is aware of the complaints and is looking forward to "exploring resolution of these issues where possible."
His letter then lists the potential benefits of having a wind farm in Cape Vincent.
"Mr. Folks's letter is a 'response' only in the most technical sense. In fact, it is wholly unresponsive," wrote town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey in a recent letter to PSC Secretary Jaclyn A. Brilling. "His letter does not merely fail to clarify anything; it does not even do us the courtesy of acknowledging the issues presented in our letter."
Mr. Hirschey said BP's latest letter to Cape Vincent representatives "shows no trace of genuine public involvement" and serves as further proof that BP is refusing to talk with local officials "in any meaningful way."
"It is nothing more than a few short paragraphs of very standard BP marketing language quoting generalized benefits that BP asserts will come to a community from having a wind project. We could have lifted that language from one of their brochures," he said. "BP's effort is better characterized as a monologue, not a dialogue."
Mr. Chandler, director of business development for the $300 million Cape Vincent Wind Farm project, responded to the local officials' criticism at a Nov. 10 open house, arguing BP is being "responsible" and has been taking into consideration residents' and municipal leaders' concerns.
BP is hosting another public workshop at 6 p.m. today at the Cape Vincent Recreation Park on James Street to further share information regarding the state siting process for its proposed 124-turbine wind farm.

Once, twice, three times a comeback
by theahl
October 28, 2005 September 27, 2016
Marc-Antoine Pouliot's goal with 8.8 seconds remaining capped a wild night at the Onondaga County War Memorial and gave the visiting Hamilton Bulldogs a 7-6 victory over the Syracuse Crunch.
Hamilton came back from three separate deficits to post the win, their third of the season (3-4-0-0). Syracuse dropped to 4-3-0-0.
The game, which featured a remarkable 10 power-play goals, started with Crunch rookies Geoff Platt and Alexandre Picard giving Syracuse a 2-0 lead. For Picard, the eighth overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, it was the first goal of his pro career.
The Bulldogs responded with three consecutive goals from rookie Jean-Francois Jacques in a span of 3 minutes and 50 seconds to take a 3-2 lead.
Platt tied the score with his second goal of the night and eighth of the season, tops among AHL rookies, and Andrew Murray put Syracuse back on top 2:33 later.
The 'Dogs bit back again, with Andrei Kostitsyn tying it at 4-4 in the final minute of the second period.
The Crunch went back to work on the power play and scored two quick goals on consecutive 5-on-3 advantages, with defensemen Andy Delmore and Aaron Johnson making it 6-4.
But Kostitsyn and Andre Benoit scored 56 seconds apart to tie the score again, and Pouliot won it at the 19:51 mark.
Hamilton finished 5-for-11 on the power play; Syracuse, 6-for-57 entering the game, was 5-for-10.
Ron Hainsey recorded four assists for the Bulldogs, one of six Hamilton players with multiple points. Platt led the Crunch with two goals and two assists.
Elsewhere on Friday:
Derek Roy registered a goal and four assists for his third five-point night already this season, and Rochester went 5-for-10 on the power play in a 6-4 win at Toronto… Jiri Hudler scored two goals — his league-leading 11th and 12th of the season — and Jimmy Howard made 39 saves in his professional debut as Grand Rapids defeated Iowa, 6-2… Tomas Surovy scored twice as Wilkes-Barre/Scranton improved to 8-0-0-0 with a 5-2 win over Hershey… Carsen Germyn recorded a hat trick and Mark Giordano dished out four assists in Omaha's 7-6 shootout win over Chicago… Kris Beech and Timofei Shishkanov each scored twice as Milwaukee rolled to its first win of the year, 6-1 over Houston… Martin St. Pierre recorded a goal and two assists for Norfolk in a 3-1 win over Albany… Ryan Shannon scored twice to lead Portland past Philadelphia, 5-2… Andrew Ladd, Chad Larose and Vince Bellissimo each scored twice as Lowell beat Springfield, 7-3… Chad Wiseman's goal early in the third period lifted Hartford to a 3-2 win in Providence… Led by two goals and an assist from Lee Stempniak, Peoria posted a 5-1 win at San Antonio.
Bears, Caps look to repeat past success
Penguins make it 9-for-9

Q: Limiting the number of checkboxes selected in react currently I have a signup form with 5 options but I'm trying to find a way to limit so the user can only select 2 options and in case the user selects a third option the first one would be unchecked, I had found a way of doing this in plain js but I haven't found a react way of doing it. This is what I have so far, would it be better to handle with plain js instead of react?
{iconsPool.map((src, index) => (
  <Box className="test">
    <input type="checkbox" className="iconsCheckbox" id={iconsPool.id} />
    <label for={iconsPool.id}>
      <img className="signupIcons" src={iconsPool[index].src} key={index} />
    </label>
    {console.log(iconsPool)}
  </Box>
))}

A: This can be implemented with a state as an array with 2 elements.
Two items of the state Array will represent the index of selected items.
If an checkbox is clicked, that checkbox and the one clicked right before will be checked. (Therefore unchecking the one that was clicked even before that)
This can be done by pushing the index of newly clicked checkbox into the head of array, and removing the last item of the array.
When an checked checkbox is clicked again, (therefore it should be unchecked,) the index of the checkbox is searched from the state array, and removed by replacing that value with undefined
Below is code, as an example
...
const [checkedItems, setCheckedItems] = useState([undefined,undefined])

// When an Item is clicked
const onClickItem = (itemIndex:number, isSelected: boolean) =>{
  if(isSelected){
    setCheckedItems(c=>([itemIndex,c[0]]))
  } else {
    if(itemIndex === checkedItems[0]){
      setCheckedItems(c=>([undefined,c[1]]))
    } else if(itemIndex === checkedItems[1]){
      setCheckedItems(c=>([c[0],undefined]))
    }
  }

}

SAN DIEGO — America's Finest City is going down the same road as the Motor City, according to former city attorney and mayoral candidate Mike Aguirre.
"Our city is deteriorating right below us and we are turning into Detroit," said Aguirre, who published an open letter to the City Council warning that pension debt is crushing the city's fiscal future.
In the letter, Aguirre urges city leaders to begin negotiations with labor unions to reorganize a $2 billion unfunded pension deficit and a $275 million annual pension payment.
"By increasing the years people can retire…by getting rid of retroactive benefits that were never paid for," said Aguirre.
He says San Diegans are paying the price for the pension debt — with not enough money going to fix roads while budgets for police and fire departments take a hit.
Aguirre argues a big stumbling block is getting city leaders to negotiate with unions.
"The city officials haven't been willing to negotiate because they were all elected, for the most part, by the unions and their campaigns are funded by the unions," Aguirre said.
"The five-year financial outlook that I put out two weeks ago forecasts surpluses in the next four of five years. In our fifth year we're looking at a $100 million surplus. Detroit doesn't have anything like that. That's another reason why it's unfair to make the comparison," said Gloria.
We need to act early before the unions get a death grip and bankruptcy is our only way out. SD is beautiful place but CA has a union friendly environment and they will kill us with there pensions. Look at Stockton and Orange County. We could be there in 20yrs. Also, Poway school union took out 1 billion dollars in bonds. That will kill Poway in 25 yrs, and I am not sure that was even legal.


As done for ISPRM and other similar societies, the CAPM&R is putting out a call for session submissions for the Ottawa 2019 scientific program. We want to know if you, our valued members, have a session you think would meet the needs of our membership. Do you have a session that you have offered in an international conference that can benefit our membership? We want to hear from you!


1. Misrepresentation: You must not divert facts or state them in a manner that does not uphold the truth. Whether it is about your background, your past experience, reasons for your quitting previous job etc, always state the actual facts. Trust is very important in anything we do. If they know that you are misrepresenting facts, their trust on you would be lost forever.
2. Getting Personal: Don't try to be very personal with the interviewer. Unless you are specifically asked, do not address the interviewer by his name. It's better to call him by his surname, prefixing Mr. or Ms. As may be applicable. Even if you happen to know an interviewer personally, as a college friend or a neighbor, maintain a professional distance, unless he or she opens up.
3. Outlandish Dress: Whatever may be the profile of the organization where you are attending the interview, avoid outlandish dress like jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, tight-fits etc. Go in your best formals. A conservative style is not harmful; at least, better than going overdressed or underdressed.
4. Boastful Statements: Do not make you understood as a jack-of-all-trades, but master of nothing. If you have innumerable skills, tell only those that are relevant to the job. Even if you have an impeccable track record of performance, place it humbly. Avoid taking challenges; instead go for a try-my-best-for success attitude.
5. Dropping References: Everybody dislikes dropping of references at random. I know the Minister; I know the Secretary-people often get disinterested in persons who unnecessarily claim to identify themselves with such high echelons. Tell them, when specifically asked, about the people you know. If they are quite high in position, tell the interviewers how you came to know them. This gives credibility to your statement.
Attention to these little things keeps you sufficiently ahead in the race for the job.

I wrote a small (800 words) article [PDF] for one of the industry analyst's publications on why it is the right time to finally get some real return on all those CRM (Customer Relationship Management) investments. Return in terms of money, for sure, but also in terms of a much higher quality of customer relationship.
CRM has been an abused term. Historically, i.e. up to circa now, it has been much more about efficiency than relationships. It has been about call centers which are all about economies of scale and operational efficiencies like screen pop and those dreaded IVR scrips ("Press 1 to go to Hell, 2 for Hades, and 3 for an loop of prompts with no hope of exit"). It has been about self-service: those IVRs again, but also the web, kiosks, and other channels; but self-service mainly as a way for the company to save costs (and employees).
In a word, CRM was about infrastructure. Infrastructure to handle contacts across multiple channels (telephone, e-mail, web, …), infrastructure to handle the resulting transactions (orders, trouble tickets, …), and infrastructure to handle all the resulting data and maybe produce a few reports.
Guess what: infrastructure projects do not, as a rule, produce any significant return on investment. (Not even (or: especially not) infrastructure projects costing several tens of millions of dollars and taking 2, 3, 4 or more years to implement.) Rather, they enable applications to be built cheaper, faster, more efficiently. These applications are then what directly benefits the business.
The good news is that the time is exactly right for many organisations to leverage their CRM infrastructure investment and actively support the business.
The economy. The business climate was different when many of the large CRM projects were initiated. Then the objectives were based around acquisition while now the economic climate is much tighter and most companies are focusing on retention and increased sales to their existing customer base. To use an American phrase, the business focus has moved from market share to wallet share.
Data availability. The history of CRM is such that many organisations have a few years' accumulated data on their customers' behaviour within their CRM data infrastructure. Briefly, many organizations implemented operations CRM systems in the mid-90ies and started to look at data infrastructure—data warehouses and analytical tools—around 1999-2000 which means that they probably went live sometime around 2000-2002. These organizations, the early adapters if you like, now have 2-3 years data available for analysis, which is for many businesses and for many behavior patters a useful time frame.
Tools and processes. Recent advances in analytical tools combined with new understanding of the organisations and processes that they support, allows companies to take this data and turn it into customer insights which accurately predict people's propensity to behave in a certain way - to accept a sales offer, for example - and the value of this behavior.
A recent study concluded that the average American is exposed to 6,000 marketing messages each day. Whatever the comparable number is in other countries, it is clear that customers are over-saturated with undifferentiated promotions.
A financial institution that implemented the capabilities we have outlined here into its existing call centre obtained startling results. Previously focused on customer service, the agents were given additional information on highly targeted,suitable offers of moder- ately complex financial products.
Of all the offers made, customers expressed interest in 50% of the cases. Of these, 75% purchased, resulting in an offer to purchase ratio of over 35%.
The several tens of millions of additional annual revenue speak for themselves.That call centre has changed from a cost centre to being the best sales channel for the company.
Harder to quantify,but to my mind as interesting,is the change in the nature of the organisation's relationship with its customers. Half the time they make a suggestion, the customer is interested.That is very different from the other 5,999 marketing messages the customer is going to receive on that day.
This is a new quality of relationship; one that clearly differentiates the brand in today's crowded marketplace, and one that will give the organisation a long-term competitive advantage.

(Redirected from Myths)
Hollywood is iconic for modern mythology
Apollo and Daphne by Antonio Pollaiuolo, one tale of transformation in Ovid's Metamorphoses—he lusts after her and she escapes him by turning into a bay laurel.
The word mythology (from the Greek mythología, from Greek mythologein to relate myths, from Greek mythos, meaning a narrative, and Greek logos, meaning speech or argument) literally means the (oral) retelling of myths – stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use the supernatural to interpret natural events and to explain the nature of the universe and humanity. In modern usage, "mythology" is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion as in Greek mythology.
2 What is a myth?
2.1 Greek usage
2.2 Academic usage
2.3 Popular usage
3 Study of mythology
3.1 Pre-modern theories
3.2 19th-century theories
Myths are not the same as fables, legends, folktales, fairy tales, anecdotes or fiction, but the concepts may overlap. Notably, during Romanticism, folktales and fairy tales were perceived as eroded fragments of earlier mythology (famously by the Brothers Grimm). Mythological themes are also very often consciously employed in literature, beginning with Homer. The resulting work may expressly refer to a mythological background without itself being part of a body of myths (Cupid and Psyche). The medieval romance in particular plays with this process of turning myth into literature. Euhemerism refers to the process of rationalization of myths, putting themes formerly imbued with mythological qualities into pragmatic contexts, for example following a cultural or religious paradigm shift (notably the re-interpretation of pagan mythology following Christianization).
Conversely, historical and literary material may acquire mythological qualities over time, for example the Matter of Britain and the Matter of France, based on historical events of the 5th and 8th centuries, respectively, were first made into epic poetry and became partly mythological over the following centuries. .
What is a myth?
Myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that are ostensibly historical, though often supernatural, explaining the origins of a cultural practice or natural phenomenon. The word "myth" is derived from the Greek word mythos (μῦθος), which simply means "story". Mythology can refer either to the study of myths, or to a body or collection of myths. Myth can mean 'sacred story', 'traditional narrative' or 'tale of the gods'. A myth can also be a story to explain why something exists.
Human cultures' mythologies usually include a cosmogonical or creation myth, concerning the origins of the world, or how the world came to exist. The active beings in myths are generally gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, or animals and plants. Most myths are set in a timeless past before recorded time or beginning of the critical history. A myth can be a story involving symbols that are capable of multiple meanings.
A myth is a sacred narrative because it holds religious or spiritual significance for those who tell it. Myths also contribute to and express a culture's systems of thought and values, such as the myth of gremlins invented by aircraft technicians during World War II to avoid apportioning blame. Myths are often therefore stories that are currently understood as being exaggerated or fictitious.
Greek usage
According to Albert A. Anderson, a professor of philosophy, the term mythos appears in the works of Homer and other poets of Homer's era. In these works, the term had several meanings: conversation, narrative, speech, story, tale, and word. Like the related term logos, mythos expresses whatever can be delivered in the form of words. Anderson contrasts the two terms with ergon, a Greek term for action, deed, and work.
The term mythos lacks an explicit distinction between true or false narratives.
In the context of the Theatre of ancient Greece, the term mythos referred to the myth, the narrative, the plot, and the story of a theatrical play. According to David Wiles, the Greek term mythos in this era covered an entire spectrum of different meanings, from undeniable falsehoods to stories with religious and symbolic significance.
According to philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC), the spirit of a theatrical play was its mythos. The term mythos was also used for the source material of Greek tragedy. The tragedians of the era could draw inspiration from Greek mythology, a body of "traditional storylines" which concerned gods and heroes. David Wiles observes that modern conceptions about Greek tragedy can be misleading. It is commonly thought that the ancient audience members were already familiar with the mythos behind a play, and could predict the outcome of the play. However, the Greek dramatists were not expected to faithfully reproduce traditional myths when adapting them for the stage. They were instead recreating the myths and producing new versions. Storytellers like Euripides (c. 480–406 BC) relied on suspense to excite their audiences. In one of his works, Merope attempts to kill her son's murderer with an axe, unaware that the man in question is actually her son. According to an ancient description of audience reactions to this work, the audience members were genuinely unsure of whether she would commit filicide or she will be stopped in time. They rose to their feet in terror and caused an uproar.
David Wiles points that the traditional mythos of Ancient Greece, was primarily a part of its oral tradition. The Greeks of this era were a literate culture, but produced no sacred texts. There were no definitive or authoritative versions of myths recorded in texts and preserved forever in an unchanging form. Instead multiple variants of myths were in circulation. These variants were adapted into songs, dances, poetry, and visual art. Performers of myths could freely reshape their source material for a new work, adapting it to the needs of a new audience or in response to a new situation.
Children in Ancient Greece were familiar with traditional myths from an early age. Based on the writings of philosopher Plato (c. 428–347 BC), mothers and nursemaids narrated myths and stories to the children in their charge. These women were tasked with rearing children. Apparently they had to find ways to stimulate the children's language skills and imaginations. They lacked access to children's literature or television, so the solution was to turn to storytelling. David Wiles describes them as a repository of mythological lore.
Bruce Lincoln has called attention to the apparent meaning of the terms mythos and logos in the works of Hesiod. In Theogony, Hesiod attributes to the Muses the ability to both proclaim truths and narrate plausible falsehoods (falsehoods which seem like real things). The verb used for narrating the falsehoods in the text is legein, which is etymologically associated with logos. There are two variants in the manuscript tradition for the verb used to proclaim truths. One variant uses gerusasthai, the other mythesasthai. The latter is a form of the verb mytheomai (to speak, to tell), which is etymologically associated with mythos. In the Works and Days, Hesiod describes his dispute with his brother Perses. He also announces to his readers his intention to tell true things to his brother. The verb he uses for telling the truth is mythesaimen, another form of mytheomai.
Lincoln draws the conclusion that Hesiod associated the "speech of mythos" (as Lincoln calls it) with telling the truth. While he associated the "speech of logos" with telling lies, and hiding one's true thoughts (dissimulation). This conclusion is strengthened by the use of the plural term logoi (the plural form of logos) elsewhere in Hesiod's works. Three times the term is associated with the term "seductive" and three times with the term "falsehoods". In his genealogy of the gods, Hesiod lists logoi among the children of Eris, the goddess personifying strife. Eris' children are ominous figures, which personify various physical and verbal forms of conflict.
Academic usage
The term is common in the academic fields such as folkloristics. Use of the term by scholars has no implication for the truth or falsity of the myth.
Popular usage
A myth can be a collectively held belief that has no basis in fact. This usage, which is often pejorative, arose from labeling the religious myths and beliefs of other cultures as incorrect, but it has spread to cover non-religious beliefs as well. Because of this popular and subjective word usage, many people take offense when the narratives they believe to be true are called myths.
To the source culture a myth by definition is "true", in that it embodies beliefs, concepts and ways of questioning to make sense of the world.
Study of mythology
Comparative mythology
Historically, the important approaches to the study of mythology have been those of Vico, Schelling, Schiller, Jung, Freud, Lévy-Bruhl, Lévi-Strauss, Frye and the Myth and Ritual School.
Pre-modern theories
The critical interpretation of myth goes back as far as the Presocratics. Euhemerus was one of the most important pre-modern mythologists. He interpreted myths as accounts of actual historical events, distorted over many retellings. This view of myths and their origin is criticised by Plato in the Phaedrus (229d), in which Socrates says that this approach is the province of one who is "vehemently curious and laborious, and not entirely happy . . ." The Platonists generally had a more profound and comprehensive view of the subject. Sallustius, for example, divides myths into five categories – theological, physical (or concerning natural laws), animastic (or concerning soul), material and mixed. This last being those myths which show the interaction between two or more of the previous categories and which, he says, are particularly used in initiations.
Although Plato famously condemned poetic myth when discussing the education of the young in the Republic, primarily on the grounds that there was a danger that the young and uneducated might take the stories of Gods and heroes literally, nevertheless he constantly refers to myths of all kinds throughout his writings. As Platonism developed in the phases commonly called 'middle Platonism' and neoplatonism, such writers as Plutarch, Porphyry, Proclus, Olympiodorus and Damascius wrote explicitly about the symbolic interpretation of traditional and Orphic myths.
Interest in polytheistic mythology revived in the Renaissance, with early works on mythography appearing in the 16th century, such as the Theologia mythologica (1532).
19th-century theories
The first scholarly theories of myth appeared during the second half of the 19th century. In general, these 19th-century theories framed myth as a failed or obsolete mode of thought, often by interpreting myth as the primitive counterpart of modern science.
For example, E. B. Tylor interpreted myth as an attempt at a literal explanation for natural phenomena: unable to conceive of impersonal natural laws, early man tried to explain natural phenomena by attributing souls to inanimate objects, giving rise to animism. According to Tylor, human thought evolves through various stages, starting with mythological ideas and gradually progressing to scientific ideas. Not all scholars — not even all 19th century scholars — have agreed with this view. For example, Lucien Lévy-Bruhl claimed that "the primitive mentality is a condition of the human mind, and not a stage in its historical development."
Max Müller called myth a "disease of language". He speculated that myths arose due to the lack of abstract nouns and neuter gender in ancient languages: anthropomorphic figures of speech, necessary in such languages, were eventually taken literally, leading to the idea that natural phenomena were conscious beings, gods.
The anthropologist James Frazer saw myths as a misinterpretation of magical rituals; which were themselves based on a mistaken idea of natural law. According to Frazer, man begins with an unfounded belief in impersonal magical laws. When he realizes that his applications of these laws don't work, he gives up his belief in natural law, in favor of a belief in personal gods controlling nature — thus giving rise to religious myths. Meanwhile, man continues practicing formerly magical rituals through force of habit, reinterpreting them as reenactments of mythical events. Finally, Frazer contends, man realizes that nature does follow natural laws, but now he discovers their true nature through science. Here, again, science makes myth obsolete: as Frazer puts it, man progresses "from magic through religion to science".
Robert Segal asserts that by pitting mythical thought against modern scientific thought, such theories implied that modern man must abandon myth.
Many 20th-century theories of myth rejected the 19th-century theories' opposition of myth and science. In general, "twentieth-century theories have tended to see myth as almost anything but an outdated counterpart to science […] Consequently, moderns are not obliged to abandon myth for science."
Swiss psychologist Carl Jung (1873–1961) tried to understand the psychology behind world myths. Jung asserted that all humans share certain innate unconscious psychological forces, which he called archetypes. Jung believed that the similarities between the myths from different cultures reveals the existence of these universal archetypes.
Joseph Campbell believed that there were two different orders of mythology: myths that "are metaphorical of spiritual potentiality in the human being," and myths "that have to do with specific societies".
Claude Lévi-Strauss believed that myths reflect patterns in the mind and interpreted those patterns more as fixed mental structures — specifically, pairs of opposites (i.e. good/evil, compassionate/callous) — than as unconscious feelings or urges.
In his appendix to Myths, Dreams and Mysteries, and in The Myth of the Eternal Return, Mircea Eliade attributed modern man's anxieties to his rejection of myths and the sense of the sacred.
In the 1950s, Roland Barthes published a series of essays examining modern myths and the process of their creation in his book Mythologies.

Microgrids – A possibility in off-grid areas
Most of us takes electricity and it's perks for granted. Amenities such as light during the dark hours, a refrigerator to store our food and a washing machine for our laundry. Around the world several communities without access to the official power grid needs other solutions to experience the same comfort. In the past diesel generators and lead acid batteries has been common solutions, but there is a more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly way.
Distributed microgrids are rapidly gaining recognition as the lowest cost solution to provide energy to remote rural communities living off-grid. Technology advances have enabled energy companies to deploy DC distributed microgrids at a fraction of the cost versus traditional AC microgrids.
Lithium storage has experienced a growing uptake in the solar sector with the lifetime cost point now at par or less compared with traditional lead-acid storage. Coupled with large savings on operations, this technology now has the potential to unlock communities who were previously unviable to be served by energy utilities.
EXO has developed an energy storage system with lithium-ion technology, adapted to rough climate, humidity, and outdoor environment. The system can be connected to solar panels which will charge the battery during daytime with the excess energy, which can be used during the dark hours. EXO also has a collaboration with Okra, who has developed a product which makes it possible to connect several households' systems and, in that way, create a microgrid.
In this type of project EXO Industry can take the role as an expert in battery technologies and support with the following steps:
– Set the battery requirements for the project
– Designing the best battery storage offering
– Customizing the solution as necessary
– Certifications of the final battery solutions
– Production of the final battery solution as per project scope
– Supplying the offering to the project location
– Installation and maintenance support
– Designing the battery recycling and replacement schemes, and its implementation
– Design of monitoring and evaluation framework
Microgrids creates an opportunity for people in off-grid areas to live a more secure and comfortable life. Furthermore, in a village of 250 households a micro grid solution could save approximately 1000 tons of CO2-emissions during a period of 20-years, which is the life expectancy of the grid. EXO can provide a finalized and complete solution for this type of project. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you want more information.

Q: XMLHttpRequest POST parameter encoding I want to submit a POST request while passing a url among other parameters.
I have the following script but it is not working.
var params = "param1="+param1_value+"&url="+url_value;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", action_url, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
  if(xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200){
    console.log("Done");
  }
}
xhr.send(params);

Assuming that the url_value is something like this:
https://www.domain.com/blah?param=&email=domain%40email%2Ecom&blah=1234

what would be wrong with this script?

A: Take a look at this question/answer - Should I URL-encode POST data?
Your sample value for url_value is using the HTML Entity Code. Because of the & symbol in the value, it is being sent as multiple values. You probably need to URL encode it so it looks like this
https%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fblah%3Fparam%3D%26email%3Ddomain%40email.com%26blah%3D1234

A: You may have a problem when trying to access another domain/website. The receiving side must have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in its return message.
You can probably find your solution in this answer.

A: You are missing quotation to the url string value,alert the parameter string as below
var params = "param1='"+param1_value+"'&url='"+url_value+"'";

Patience pays off as Highlanders win
PORTLAND -- With his team trying to settle into its half-court offense during the third quarter on Wednesday, Portland coach Nick Chaconis offered some sage -- and simple -- advice:
ROB McGUINNESS
"Be patient," Chaconis said. "You'll get it."
As Portland worked the ball around, the open opportunities and high percentage shots began to materialize. The Highlanders' patience paid off, as a five-point halftime lead soon stretched into a 29-point margin as Portland defeated Hale-Ray, 54-25.
Jackie Ellsworth scored 19 points and Sam Royce added 17 to lead the Highlanders.
"We needed the win," Chaconis said. "Every win is a big win, but we've had it rough in the last couple of games."
While Ellsworth, Royce and Erin Clausi (10 points) brought the firepower on offense, the Portland defense put the Little Noises' shooters on ice in the second half.
"We just shut them down defensively," Chaconis said. "We played a box-and-one the whole game and never really let them get started."
Hale-Ray used its full-court pressure to force seven Portland turnovers in the second quarter, closing to within 26-21 at the half. The Little Noises pulled within three early in the third, but Portland held them scoreless over the final 14:53.
Chaconis credited senior Sara Leslie with leading the charge to stop Ellie Dutch, who normally leads the Noises' offense.
"Give Leslie the star on defense," Chaconis said. "But she didn't do it alone. We tried to match up on defense and we tried to confuse them."
Dutch finished with six points. Whitney Meade led Hale-Ray with 10.
Portland controlled the boards in the second half, limiting Hale-Ray to one shot on each possession. With the Noises out of sync at both ends of the floor, Portland pulled away.
"It was one of our better games as far as executing on defense and using our bench," Chaconis said. "We went deep into the bench and the kids came through. That's all you can ask for as a coach."
Portland capped the game with a 24-0 run, and while the offense seemed to make the difference, Chaconis praised his players' attention to detail at both ends of the floor.
"We scrambled on defense, didn't give up a lot of second-chance shots," Chaconis said. "It's those little things that contribute to the big wins."
