Letter from My Future Self: The First Step Is the Hardest
By Matt Crossman | May 2, 2021 | 0
Hey Matt,
Don't freak out. This is from you! I'm your future self.
I'm writing to give you a pep talk. I don't need to tell you about what. You know what—that thing you are thinking about launching. That thing you've thought about launching for several years. That thing for which you have long had passion but never had momentum or an audience or a raison d'être that you could articulate.
Now you've got all of them—or at least most of them—and a plan you believe in to capture what's missing. That would be the audience, long the missing piece. Now, for the first time, you know, or think you know, that the audience is there, and you know, or think you know, how to gather it.
I know because I remember. You're waiting because the difference between knowing and thinking you know feels enormous. And it might be. Sometimes the difference between knowing and thinking you know is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug, which I say here to point out that in the future you butcher quotes from Mark Twain.
But it's not always like that. Sometimes there is no difference between knowing and thinking you know. There's only one way to find out which is true in this case, and that's to try.
But you're afraid. Of course you are! So what? Do it anyway. You've written enough about fear to know it mixes lies with the truth. Racecar drivers' fear, that's rational. Your daughters' fear of bugs, that's not rational. You have talked yourself into this being rational fear. I promise you; it is not.
You asked Tim Yen, author of Choose Better: The Optimal Decision-Making Framework, how to talk yourself into doing it.
"The most difficult step is making the first step," he said. "Lower the risk in your mind by making a step that has little to no consequence but aids in providing greater clarity. Use that momentum and dedication to your vision and take another step."
You like the sound of that. You like the idea that with low risk there is nothing to be afraid of, which is not the same thing as a promise this will work out well. "But… but… but I'm afraid of failing!" you say. Knock it off, I say.
Success is not a guarantee—in this or anything else. Do it anyway because trying is what makes life fun. If the only possible outcome was success, success would be meaningless. Failure is painful as it's happening, but life would be boring without it. I'd go so far as to say failure is underrated.
Even if it fails, you should try because trying is an investment in me, which you learned from James Clear. Your trying (or not trying) will make me who I am. In the same way, you're stronger because the Matt before you took risks. If you try now, that will make it much more likely I will try something when I'm afraid. If I try something I'm afraid of, the Matt of the future beyond me will try whatever scares him, too.
You're worried the timing isn't right. You've read that the way to know when to try something new is when you can no longer stand not to try. Until now, you dismissed that as hokum from motivational speakers who made up that answer because "I have no idea" sounds terrible on a TED Talk.
You interviewed Tony Robbins a few months ago. You asked about turning your back on the known for the unknown, which had been a major hurdle. You're less worried about that now, in part because of Robbins's answer. He suggested asking yourself a series of questions:
If I was not attached to life this way, what could be possible?
What could be a new life for me if I really wanted to go for it?
You've faced fear before. You spent years trying to overcome your fear of heights. You didn't do it, at least not entirely, but you made progress. You climbed a giant red oak named Willa; you went rock climbing and ice climbing and rappelling into a canyon deep in a Utah desert. Each of those adventures made the next one possible.
The most important discovery you made in that effort to conquer your fear of heights was that heights was only a small part of the problem. The bigger problem was you didn't trust (or understand) the equipment designed to keep you safe.
Starting with tree climbing, you began to understand how the ropes/carabiners/harness/etc. worked. The more times you were strapped into such equipment, the better you understood them, the more you trusted them, the more willing you were to take risks.
Granted, your heart rate still spiked as you reached the edge of the cliff. But at least you reached the edge of the cliff. And you never froze there. Don't freeze now.
I remember well, as I'm sure you do, rappelling into Goblin's Lair in Utah, a 90-foot deep canyon in Utah. After getting strapped in to the harness system, you looked over your shoulder into the canyon. The hole in the earth yawned behind you, black and (seemingly) bottomless. You turned to face forward and looked at the guide, a kind and steady soul named Chris Hagedorn, owner of Get in the Wild Adventures. He had tied you in a few minutes before, and now he was giving you just enough rope for you to dangle yourself into the depths of Goblin's Lair.
As Yen suggested, you took one relatively consequence free step. Then another. You scooted back, back, and back some more. Each step made the next one possible. One more and you'd be over the edge, no longer standing on the ground but floating above it, kept aloft by the rope.
Would you take that step?
Should you take it?
Could you take it?
You took it.
The minutes you spent descending to the bottom of the canyon were among the most thrilling of your life. Mine, too. Thank you for that.
You are in an analogous situation now. You are strapped in. You understand the risk and the reward. You're at the edge. Take that last step. You will be glad you did, and so will I.

Most homeowners in Chantilly, VA with extremely dirty carpets, sometimes choose DIY over professional carpet cleaning.
No doubt, DIY carpet cleaning is much cheaper.
Vacuuming high traffic areas daily and other areas twice a week is ideal to save costs in the long run.
However, there will be a point in the usable life of the carpet where mere vacuuming can no longer restore its appearance, and a thorough deep cleaning will be needed.
When's a Good Time to Professionally Clean your Carpet?
More often than not, the following are good indications of when you need to hire a carpet cleaning service near you.
The carpet has seen a lot and it looks nothing like it did back then.
It's stained, looks worn, even the colors look faded.
Just vacuuming is no longer doing the trick.
But that is not the only reason carpets need to deep cleaning.
With prolonged usage, carpets attract dust, dirt, debris, bacteria and/or mold. They get in the fibers of the carpet which is not visible to the naked eye.
It is a serious health hazard and can cause respiratory problems or allergies, especially if you have children or pets at home.
So Deep Cleaning is Important!
The only question now is – Should you clean it yourself or hire a professional carpet cleaner near you?
On one hand cleaning your carpets on your own can save you big bucks, however, on the other, professional carpet cleaners can save you hassles.
DIY carpet cleaning machines or simple vacuum cleaners are effective in cleaning minor stains, especially the newer stains.
If you try cleaning an immediate spill with DIY cleaning equipment, it's more effective.
But when it comes to older stains, it's best to seek professional help.
The dirt in between the carpet fibers might be really tough. In such cases, professional chemicals and cleaning techniques work wonders to thoroughly remove both the stain and the odor.
It's not at all difficult to clean carpets.
From rented carpet cleaning equipment to cleaning solutions, everything can be purchased from a supermarket near you.
Pet odor removers and spot cleaners are also easily available.
But the difficult part is figuring out how many solutions you need for cleaning your carpet.
This is when a professional Chantilly carpet cleaning company makes so much more sense.
You can easily ask them to give you exact written estimates.
The cost difference between DIY and professional carpet cleaning is pretty evident, but so are the results!
This type of carpet cleaning is also called as encapsulation method.
In this method, professionals use liquid chemicals or granulated cleaning products that actually encapsulate the dirt.
It works best for pet stains and odor, and you can even use the carpet in a couple of hours.
This type of carpet cleaning is also called as steam cleaning.
Professionals push hot water into the carpet fibers, which loosens the dirt and is eventually sucked out of the carpet.
It involves large amounts of water.
Hence, you might not be able to use carpets for about a day.
Hot water extraction carpet cleaning method is highly recommended for deep stains.
Carpet cleaning is really important not only to maintain appearance but also keep your carpets away from bacteria, allergens, dust, pollens and other nasty things that are in the air.
Opting for professional carpet cleaning every 6 to 12 months can increase the life of your favorite carpet.
If you are looking for professional carpet cleaning in Chantilly, VA, you can contact Dri-Masters.
They offer carpet cleaning services for 3 rooms at just $99.95. You can call them at 800-897-4032 and schedule an appointment today.

The first group of actions, Actions1, consists of my first two films, videos made of paper presentations, as well as the actual conference paper presentations (November 2005 – October 2006), and the first interviews with poets.
The initial use of colour was through graphics of solid blacks, red, and blues, that facilitated certain strong statements (films Quantum Words, Prince of Hampshire). This enabled me to come up with strong and prominent ideas which helped in 'advertising' the thesis within academia, getting the word 'out there', so to speak, at the start of this thesis, through my first four paper presentations and the publication of my first paper (December 2006). Strong graphic colours, were joined by decisive lines, which appeared as a form, for example the light glare in the film Quantum Words is made of gradating thick lines that receive the weight of a form. This decisiveness symbolised my definite ideas, which shaped the initial approach that I took with the first interviewees. Using some clear ideas, to begin with, I inspired the first interviewees to allow me to interview them.
The early use of texts in Actions1 was still as a parallel to the images of the films, as if they were separated.
Movements in Actions1 were minimalist and precise, as can be seen in the film Quantum Words and in the body gestures observed in my presentations. This kind of movement was set to portray a thought that was in my mind, and then was acted directly. I have used movement as a tool to illustrate inner reality and bring it out.
Initially the presentation of the notion of the self was as an individual. The films portray single characters at the centre of the scenes, and at that time I was working alone. This was suitable to this stage in which my inner reality was being expressed, for the purpose of showing it, externalising it, and by this means inspire others to find their own inner self.


One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14-15, NKJV).
While we may have difficulty "forgetting" the past, we can all choose to learn from it and leave it behind. We can ask Jesus to help us cut our losses, heal our wounds, and remove any unwanted baggage from the previous year. Foolish mistakes, wrong decisions, or harmful habits/attitudes can all be swept away–if we will learn from them and allow Jesus to recycle them into future, positive actions.
In some cases, the consequence of past errors will follow us. But we don't have to let those consequences imprison our attitudes or our future. As believers, we have been granted unconditional forgiveness; God has placed our sins "as far as the east is from the west" (Psalm 103:12, NKJV). As followers of Jesus, the Son of God, we have accepted Jesus' death on the Cross as penalty for our sins. As believers, sin breaks our fellowship with God temporarily, but not our relationship as His eternal children. Besides that, sinning as believers should break our heart and move us quickly back into the restorative arms of our Father.
In the Philippians passage above, the apostle Paul is not just talking about leaving painful things behind. Earlier in the chapter he referred to his pre-believer, misguided zeal of persecuting Christians. Transformed by Jesus, he made a complete turn-around and followed Christ the rest of his life (Acts 9). But he also chose to put behind him any "credentials" that might elevate his ego: his education, status, successes, and achievements–things that he once thought as important but now considered inferior–anything that might take away from his purpose to "live for Christ" (Philippians 1:21) Paul could have also mentioned his numerous, difficult challenges: being shipwrecked, imprisoned falsely, stoned, beaten, persecuted, and in perilous situations repeatedly. He refused to let the past (or any unpleasant circumstance) dictate his future or his contentment.
Refuse to let the past define you. Instead, allow Jesus to refine you.
"Reaching forward," or embracing the new year allows you to choose a positive response toward what is ahead of you, instead of focusing on what is behind you. All of us can get stuck in the past if we allow our enemy to attack us emotionally or spiritually with thoughts like, "Look what you did!" "You don't really matter!" "Why try, anyway? You'll just fail again." That's never the voice of Jesus.
As long as you have breath and life, you are capable of believing the best, and of letting hope influence your attitudes and future. God is still the God of the impossible, and He not only wants to transform us daily; He promises to finish the work He started in us (Philippians 1:6). Paul, too, testified to the power of Christ: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13, NKJV). Some days you may question what to do–or what Jesus is doing–but faith keeps going, reaching, and believing that Jesus is in control. Embracing the future means welcoming whatever Jesus wants in our lives in order to make us more like Him.
What's keeping you from embracing the future? Maybe no one but you. Reach forward prayerfully with confidence and hope. Celebrate every step, every victory, every moment Jesus gives you. He will never fail you.
"Press toward the goal." In a sense, the "goal" is Jesus. But even more, as we keep our eyes on Him, we will uncover and discover the life for which we were made and the purpose for which we were created. Living for Jesus, allowing Him to live through us, and hearing God's "well-done" as we finally arrive at our eternal home is a prize unlike any other. As we live to give Him glory, not ourselves, Jesus will constantly "teach us what is best for us" (Isaiah 48:17). And as we run our race toward the goal, He will reward our faith constantly with the peace of His presence and the same joy that was set before Him.
Running our race with eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith, is the way to make every year a happier one.
Lord Jesus, as we begin this new year, help us indeed to leave the past behind, to embrace the future You have designed for us, and to keep our eyes constantly on You. Protect us from those who would attempt to pull us away from the goal set before us or who try to turn us away from following You. When we don't know what to do, our eyes are on You. Thank You for second chances, for unconditional love and forgiveness, and for another new year in which to live and serve and bring You glory.
Which key needs more work for you? How will you allow Jesus to make this year a happier one for you?

Q: Is there a way to run a Go module from another directory I have the following project structure, outside of GOPATH.
. // Project root
├── Dockerfile
├── .env
├── README.md
└── src
    ├── main.go
    ├── go.mod
    ├── go.sum
    ├── internal
    │   ├── somepackage
    │   │   ├── main.go
    │   │   └── types.go
    │   ├── someother
    │   │   ├── main.go
    │   │   ├── oauth.go
    │   │   └── types.go
    │   └── models
    │       └── main.go
    └── pkg
        ├── somepackage
        │   └── main.go
        └── anotherpackage
            └── main.go

I want to run my Go module code located in the src directory.
When I cd into the src directory and go run . or go build . my code, it works perfectly.
When I stand at the root of my project, I am unable to run go run ./src or go build ./src. I get the following error.
src/service.go:8:2: cannot find package "web-service/internal/auth" in any of:
        /usr/lib/go/src/web-service/internal/auth (from $GOROOT)
        /home/miloertas/Packages/go/src/web-service/internal/auth (from $GOPATH)
src/endpoints.go:3:8: cannot find package "web-service/internal/handlers" in any of:
        /usr/lib/go/src/web-service/internal/handlers (from $GOROOT)
        /home/miloertas/Packages/go/src/web-service/internal/handlers (from $GOPATH)

It's important that my source code remains in this src directory.
It is equally important that I am able to run and build my code from the root of my project (For example the .env file is located at the root of the repository).
I am therefore looking for a way to run or build my code in the src directory from the root of my project.
I tried moving the go.mod at the root of the project and running and ran go run ./src but this causes issues of its own:

*

*The go command is now unable to locate all the sub-packages in internal and pkg

*VSCode is now lost and executing tests is impossible for some reasons (Mainly because all sub-packages are not found).

A: Since Go 1.18, it's now possible to achieve this with Go workspaces.
Using the following directory structure
parent-dir/
└─ go.work
   hello-world/
   ├─ go.mod
   └─ main.go

You can run the hello-world module from the parent-dir using go run hello-world.
go.work
go 1.18

use ./hello-world

go.mod
module hello-world

go 1.18

Note: it is possible, not recommended as pointed out by @Volker

A:
It's important that my source code remains in this src directory. It is equally important that I am able to run and build my code from the root of my project (For example the .env file is located at the root of the repository).

These two requirements are contradictory. You have to let go of one.
Especially the second one is unfounded: Do not use go run, use go build. Make the path to  look for the .env file a command line option to your program (Go is not PHP or JavaScript, there simply is no project or source root for the executing binary). Or build the executable somewhere but execute it in you project root.
Note that having a src folder is -- to put it mildly -- uncommon.

I tried moving the go.mod at the root of the project and running and ran go run ./src but this causes issues of its own:

Well, start by not using go run at all, use go build. And then try building the actual main package. All the go tooling works best on packages, not on file system folders. If your module is named playing.hardball/for-unspecific-reasons and package main is in src try go build playing.hardball/for-unspecific-reasons/src.
Takeaways even if this doesn't work out the way you want:

*

*Do not use go run. The reasons are manyfold, it is useful to run single file scripts and a loaded footgun for basically every other use case.

*The go tool works on import paths. In simple cases the import path can be inferred from the filesystem.

*A compiled executable has no notion of a "project directory", "source", "classpath" or whatever, it is a standalone executable runnable everywhere and completely detached from its sources.

*Make all filesystem lookup path a configuration option (cmdline flag or environment variable); provide practical defaults (e.g. ./); use that when running your executable to announce where to find static stuff like .env files, templates, icons, css files, etc.

Medals Keep Coming at Peterborough and Ironbridge!
The regatta season continued with the Peterborough Junior Championships held over 1000m on the purpose built Cambridgeshire lake. Always a competitive event this year did not break the mould with clubs travelling from around the United Kingdom stretching from Teeside to Kent and many in between. Stratford upon Avon Boat Club's junior 14 and junior 15 squads made trip to Fenland to taste the competition.
The J14 event began with Elisabeth Edwards missing out on a semi-final place in the single sculls by just one foot. Another competing for the first time in a single scull was Sophie Elstone who after getting through her heat fought hard in her semifinal just missing a finals place. For their first time racing in a single both girls showed promise for the future. Staying with the girls' singles, Amelie Sartain paced herself well in the heats leading up to her final and came home to win Silver medal place, a great achievement over the blustery 1000m course. William Clarke in his single, faced both strong competition and the windy conditions missing out by only six seconds for a semifinal place. The girls' double of Martha Usselmann and Sienna Rawlings sculled well on their way into the semifinal, but after a closely contested race were pipped at the post for the remaining final positions. The coxed quadruple scull of Mary Walton (cox), Abbey Meggeson, Emma Harrison, Harriet Hodgson and Julia Zampronio-Gurden confidently won their first heat, however during the semifinal unfortunately suffered an equipment breakage. While positioned nicely ready for the final push, one of the gates holding an oar gave way slowing the boat and ending their race.
Meanwhile in the J15 events, the action was also red hot. In the girls' single sculls event Alice Baines, Mya Kenny and Maiya James were relieved to be drawn in separate heats. The strong headwinds caused issues for all with Alice progressing to the semifinal stage then missing a place in the final by just two seconds. In the girls' coxed quadruple sculls the crew of Jasmine Mountney, Nixie Brunt, Mili Wilcock, Alice Baines and Naomi Sergeant (coxswain) exited the competition early against strong crews from Northwich and Bedford Modern School in the toughest of the three heats. Onwards to the girls' double sculls where both Stratford crews of Mili Wilcock and Jasmine Mountney plus Mya Kenny and Maiya James won their heats convincingly. Ecstasy turned to agony however in the semi-finals where the journey ended for both boats. Not to be outdone, the junior 15 boys' squad stepped up with the double scull of Dan Cox and Fred Tyler swept aside their competition in the heats only to be undone in the final. Last but by no means least, in the J15 single sculls Fred Tyler rowed a tactical first heat conserving energy. After waltzing through the repechage to book his place in the final things got spicy with a superb row in the final delivering the second silver medal of the day.
Meanwhile at Ironbridge set amongst a fantastic wooded hillside which means that even on the hottest sunniest days, competitors and spectators alike can enjoy the refreshing shade and gentle breeze rustling the trees all around the boating area. Ironbridge is also traditionally a happy hunting ground for Stratford crews and this year was no exception!
Kjersti Rogneflaten led the way with pots in both the Women's Masters E double with her rowing partner from Derwent with a very big margin over Evesham in the final. Kjersti then followed up with winning Women's Masters E in the afternoon with what ended up being a straight final, ideal for avoiding what had been scheduled as a very late finish! Two pots in one day!
Christine Goodwin and Tim Lunel had a first race entry more in preparation for the head season than ambitions for winning an open mixed competition. They surprised themselves by how hard they pushed the eventual winners Oxford City despite an interesting start provided by the starts in cross wind conditions. Goodwin and Lunel kept pushing back showing that Masters rowing can provide the stamina the younger competitors lack at times: they eventually finishing just a couple of length down over the line.

Song of a Straight-lanced Meadow Katydid (scroll down for explanation and additional recordings!).
Named for the shape of the female's ovipositor (not pictured), the Straight-lanced Meadow Katydid is large, long-bodied, and dark in color compared to other small meadow katydids. May occur in large numbers, but distribution is patchy within its range. The preferred habitat is open areas of short grass along roadsides and in pastures. Males have the peculiar ability to bend their bodies at odd angles. It is interesting to watch their interactions and movements — they are the contortionists of the katydid world.
Straight-lanced Meadow Katydids range from southern New York to southern Georgia and west from central Arizona north to southern Montana.
Song: A faint, continuous purr at 10–20 kHz, often with a pulsating quality. Difficult to hear, but in a dense colony, the combined sounds of individuals in a chorus can be impressively loud, even overwhelming.

Media caption"Everybody knows what happened to us"
Seidu Mohammed and Razak Iyal nearly died in 2016 while sneaking across the Canada-US border during a frigid late December, hoping to gain asylum. Their experience made them the public faces of a wave of migrants to Canada who followed soon after.
It's a warm, late summer evening under a wide prairie sky, and Seidu Mohammed is in his element.
The 26-year-old is on a football pitch, a defender at ease on the field, playing on a high-level amateur team in the Manitoba Major Soccer League.
A one-time professional player from Ghana, his career was derailed when he was outed as bisexual while training in Brazil in 2014.
He never returned home, fearing persecution for his sexuality in his country, and instead starting on a fateful journey that brought him to a Minneapolis bus station on Christmas Eve, 2016.
There he met Razak Iyal, 36, a fellow Ghanaian who had fled the west African nation when a family dispute over his father's estate turned violent.
Both men were facing deportation back to Ghana after being denied refugee status in the US.
Instead they risked crossing into Canada, finding themselves struggling through a waist-deep field of snow in the night-time bid to cross the boundary between southern Manitoba and northern Minnesota.
They spent 10 hours outside, poorly dressed for the brutally cold winter landscape, wandering near a single-lane highway surrounded by farm fields, until a transport truck stopped to offer assistance.
Both had their fingers amputated due to frostbite and spent the next three months in hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The experience has brought the one-time strangers, born ten years apart in Accra, Ghana's capital, close.
"It's coincidence we are from the same city, same area, same community, but we never met before [that night]," Mohammed says, sitting on a sofa in Iyal's modest apartment in central Winnipeg.
"We are like brothers, not friends."
Says Iyal: "We go beyond friendship now."
Over 30,000 other asylum seekers have followed in Mohammed and Iyal's footsteps, illegally crossing the border before turning themselves over to authorities to make refugee claims.
The vast majority crossed at Roxham Road, a dead-end rural road in upstate New York that ends in a ditch and thin brush and, through that, the province of Quebec. The number of migrants has dropped since last summer, though just over 1,600 people still crossed in July.
The sheer number of asylum seekers coming in over roughly the last 18 months has strained the resources of government and community organisations, especially in Quebec and Ontario.
Ontario is demanding C$200m ($152m; £119m) from the federal government to cover related costs. In Toronto, thousands are being housed in emergency shelters and some 400 asylum seekers have been temporarily placed in hotels and motels in and around the city.
A recent poll indicated that two-thirds of Canadians felt the current situation constituted a "crisis" – that the country's ability to handle to newcomers was stretched to the limit.
There are over 200,000 pending asylum claims, and the wait for hearings by Canada's refugee board have edged up to an average of twenty months.
Of the fraction of cases that have been processed, just less than half have been accepted by Canada as refugees.
The Trudeau government has always openly welcomed refugees and immigrants into the country. But they began to temper their message, warning that seeking asylum is not a "free ticket" into Canada as more and more migrants began arriving at the border.
Both Mohammed and Iyal were granted refugee status last year.
They worry about the growing fractious debate about the migrants crossing into Canada, about related costs and the need to do more to secure the borders.
"[Immigrants and refugees] are hardworking people," says Mohammed. "We are not criminals. We are here for a new life."
The federal government is under pressure to suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States, under which refugee claimants are required to request protection in the first safe country they arrive in.
Crossing between border points allows asylum seekers to circumvent that part of the agreement and to ask for refugee status in Canada.
Both Mohammed and Iyal were in the US before travelling to Canada and, under the accord, couldn't request asylum at an official border crossing. But there is a loophole: a claim can be treated by Canada once the asylum seeker is on Canadian soil.
Iyal says without the programme – which is meant to avoid so-called "asylum shopping" between countries but is also the reason asylum seekers are avoiding formal border points – it would be safer for refugees crossing into Canada.
"We could have gone straight to the border, without struggling, without [almost] freezing to death," he says.
The pair are adapting to life with the limitations of having lost fingers to the cold.
Eating, dressing, paying for the bus, signing documents – these are all small daily challenges.
Mohammed has switched to snap-button over button-up shirts He practiced putting on socks over and over until he could do it on his own.
He is considering an additional surgery offered by his doctors to open up part of his hand to allow him some grip.
Both still need help lacing their shoes, Iyal at the mosque, or Mohammed on the pitch.
Iyal is thankful he still has one thumb, which gives him some dexterity.
"Don't think about what happened to you," he says. "Think about your future. We always think about our future, what we can do to contribute to this country."
Mohammed still finds himself in shock at the loss of his fingers.
"That time when we were in the hospital, we were crying, we were feeling sad, like 'how are you going to survive like this?'" he says.
"But God has done a lot for us in our life for the past-year-and-a-half."
Much has happened in the months between since their release from hospital.
Both were recently fitted with prosthetics, which they are learning to use.
Mohammed attended his first Pride parade, where he said seeing the LGBT community gathered together made him feel like "this is a safe place".
He has spent some time coaching youth football.
Iyal is taking business classes, hoping to launch an electronics business, like the one he had back in Ghana, and hire refugees, and he hopes to one day reunite with the wife he left behind.
They have found a close community of friends in Winnipeg, many of whom are also immigrants or refugees.
A play, "Boundary Avenue", was produced based on their journey. A poster signed by the cast hangs on Iyal's wall.
One Trunk Theatre artistic director Andraea Sartison told the BBC that the issue of asylum seekers has been "at the forefront of a lot of people's minds and the media here".
After being introduced to the pair, the team behind the play felt compelled to tell their story. They spent hours interviewing them, and Iyal and Mohammed eventually collaborated on the final script and production of the piece.
Iyal is a frequent volunteer at the Canadian Muslim Women's Institute, which has a donation centre that many asylum seekers visit for basic necessities, from clothing to furniture.
Yasmin Ali, president of the organisation, says a number men, including Iyal, began to use their site as a meeting place and eventually decided to put themselves to work as volunteers.
"It's amazing to see what [Iyal] can do – lift things, move things. He's adjusted, adapted," she said.
She said the two have become leaders in the community of newcomers, shepherding others through the process of settling into Canada.
Still, both are frustrated at their challenges finding permanent work.
"I lost my fingers, I didn't lose my mind," says Iyal. "I want to contribute to this country, I want to pay my taxes."
He says he, Mohammed, and the fellow migrant friends they've made frequently think about the lives they left behind.
"We're always happy we are here, especially that we are alive," he says.
"We all miss our parents, we all miss our old friends, we all miss our siblings, we miss our wives, but I'm still happy that I'm here, alive."
Classical musicians or 'Christian proselytisers'?

Q: Sending SMTP mail using a server with self-signed SSL The problem I need to solve
I have a web server in a network where the port 25 is blocked for outgoing traffic, and in order to send emails it is mandatory to obtain an account and use authentication.
We then have to connect to a separate mail server using SSL/TLS/STARTTLS (I'm not sure what is what) on port 587. The server uses a self-signed certificate.
In fact, nearly every server use the same self-signed certificate, and it is valid for *.domain.org, but is used  on sub.sub.domain.org, sub.sub.sub.domain.org, and so on, causing issues like invalid server alerts on web browsers (but this, as far as I can tell, is not the issue here. Please correct me if I'm wrong).
What I used to do
In the past, I resorted to using the wp-mail-smtp plugin in order to:

reconfigure the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and create an options page to manage the settings.

It worked and I could send emails. Recently, I tried using this plugin again, but it failed.
This time, unlike in the past, I was trying to use it in a multisite environment. The plugin is compatible with multisite and expected to work. In fact, I can use the root wp-config.php file to define mail settings for all the subsites in a single place, and that is a huge advantage to me.
What I need to do
I know this is not the place to look for plugin support, and that's not what I am looking for here. I have managed to successfully send a test email by downloading the latest version of PHPMailer and using (outside WP) a test script with an option to ignore SSL certificates.
Apparently, the issue is caused SSL certificate verification introduced in PHP 5.6, but I have yet to confirm this. I am contacting the plugin author in regards to this, but my question is as follows:
What is the best practice when I have a multisite instance and I need to use a separate SMTP server with a self-signed certificate?
If my research is correct, wp_mail() uses PHPMailer that uses mail(). Someone suggested a configuration on functions.php, but how can that be set for all the subsites of a multisite instance? I don't want to have to manually edit the functions.php file for each new site created, neither I want the admin of each site to know the password for the mail account.

Neil's Heroes: Jim Langevin
This is a partial transcript from "Your World with Neil Cavuto," June 10, 2004, that was edited for clarity.
• Click here to watch the interview
NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: In a week we commemorate a hero now resting in the Capitol behind. I want you to meet a hero still doing a lot of business in that Capitol behind me. It is no surprise why I picked my next guest as one of my heroes in my book "More Than Money." I wanted to look at people making a difference. He certainly has and does. His dream of becoming a cop was shattered when he was shot at the age of 16. But he turned his tragedy into a triumph. He's the first quadriplegic ever elected to Congress and intends to use his life story to inspire others. So for those of you who have the view that all politicians are the same, I want you to meet someone who is not, Congressman Jim Langevin.
Sir, good to have you.
REP. JIM LANGEVIN, D-R.I.: Thank you, Neil, good to be here.
CAVUTO: Let's talk a little bit about how you got into this state. It's well-known of course in your neck of the woods. Tell me how it happened.
LANGEVIN: I was 16 years old, I was a young police cadet in the Explorer Scout program, much like a boy scout program but we learned about law enforcement and had the opportunity to work in the police department. I had been in the program for about four years and thought I was well on my way to a career in law enforcement. I loved police work.
And as often happens, life doesn't turn out like you think it's going to. I was in the locker room of the police station one afternoon getting ready to go on my shift. Two police officers were looking at a new weapon that one of them had purchased, not realizing the gun was loaded, one of the officers pulled the trigger and the bullet ricocheted off the locker and went through my neck and severed my spinal cord. And I have been paralyzed ever since.
CAVUTO: Any hope that this could come back.
LANGEVIN: I always have hope and there so much is going on in the area of spinal cord injury research, there was just a major breakthrough from what I understand down at the Miami project, where there was a major leap forward in finding a cure for spinal cord injury.
So there is always hope and I've never lost that optimism. But at the same time I certainly haven't let life pass me by. If there is a cure some day, that is wonderful. And yet at the same time I'm also determined to have a very full and fulfilling life and I'm enjoying life thus far.
CAVUTO: I remember when I was doing the book and you were recounting what Rhode Islanders did for you and your family after this and all the money they provided and bake sales and everything else just to help you, you decided from that moment onto give something back. You have been in public service essentially ever since, why?
LANGEVIN: Well, the kindness of my community certainly touched me in a profound way. And I certainly didn't know that this was the path my life would take. But this is what has happened and I am enjoying public service and giving something back at the same time.
CAVUTO: Any bitterness?
LANGEVIN: No, it is not a — I've never been bitter. It was certainly a tragic accident in my life. At that point in my life I was very sad, and it was a big emptiness. But I knew it was an accident, and the officers that were involved in this were my friends, they were people that I rode with in the police cars, I had worked with them for several years, I knew them well.
And I'm sure if anybody could have, you know, turned the clock back as they say in the book and erase this and have it not happen, of course, you know, I — they would have of course done it. But, life is full of ups and downs and my opinion is you have to play the hand that is dealt you.
CAVUTO: You were very big into not hiding your disability, obviously in your case you couldn't, but you played a key role in the memorial for FDR.
LANGEVIN: Well, I had become aware of the FDR Memorial and I was so pleased that they were finally making a — paying tribute to FDR, and his legacy and all he had done for the country. What I was disappointed and surprised to find out about is that they weren't going to depict FDR in his wheelchair in any way, shape or form, that they weren't going to depict his disability.
And I thought, you know, what a shame, he had been such a monumental figure in American politics and led this country through one of the most difficult times in our nation's history. And yet he did it all from a wheelchair and with a disability himself. And I thought that especially in this day and age, where times have changed so much.
Years ago, it was a source of shame or something you did kind of cover up, and certainly FDR made an attempt to hide his disability, but so much has changed, especially with the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, that I thought it was time that FDR be depicted as he was and serve as an inspiration to others just as he served as a source of inspiration to me.
CAVUTO: But the people who were against showing him in the wheelchair said, why remind the folks that he was in a wheelchair, why not let his acts stand for themselves?
LANGEVIN: Well, it was more that FDR didn't want to have his disability depicted or shown back during his time. And again, times have changed and I think it is important for history to accurately reflect who FDR was and all his challenges and everything that encompasses FDR and what he overcame to help lead the country forward at a very critical time in our country's history.
CAVUTO: Let me ask you, Congressman, I know you're a Democrat. But what do you think of Ronald Reagan and the attention being paid to him all this week?
LANGEVIN: Well, this has been a fitting tribute to one of America's towering figures, a president of the United States who made great contributions to public service and certainly inspired a nation. I have always been impressed by his ability to touch people, connect with people and inspire people.
He certainly did that as president and had some remarkable moments to remember and reflect on in his presidency. It is a fitting send-off, I was honored to be in the Rotunda last night when we were present for the memorial service. And again it was just a fitting tribute to one of our finest commanders-in-chief.
CAVUTO: Are you surprised at all the outpouring that he's getting, it's not afforded to all former presidents?
LANGEVIN: I'm not surprised. Again, he was a towering figure in American history, and a two-term president who served the country well. And though I'm a Democrat and he was a Republican and we can disagree on policies, I always knew certainly that his heart was in the right place, he was a good and decent person. And...
CAVUTO: But would you classify yourself as a liberal, because he went after guys like you?
LANGEVIN: Well, I think I call them as I see them. I like to think I'm a moderate and on some things I may be seen as conservative and other things I would be considered a liberal, but it is all in the best interest of my constituents. I try to call them as I see them and put party politics aside.
CAVUTO: Because Rhode Island — I used to live in Rhode Island, I can say this, I'm not swiping at the state, but with all the internal political strife and Buddy Cianci, the former mayor of Providence and all of his troubles, it had a reputation for being seedy. Now it is better, I'm sure, today, I'm not saying you are at all any part of that. But are you troubled it takes a while to break non-Rhode Islanders of that impression?
LANGEVIN: Well, I think it, more than anything, Rhode Island is known for its independent spirit, you know, certainly in any state, I suppose, any circumstance you can point to a few bad apples...
CAVUTO: No, they are independent, but I'm wondering if their politicians fairly represent them or are themselves seedy in the past?
LANGEVIN: Again, you can point to any — in any state you can look at anecdotal evidence to say, you know, one way or the other, what the state is made up of, but I think overall Rhode Island is a great place to live, work and raise a family. We have dedicated people in public service. Again, you know, like in any state you may find a couple that are in it for self-service as opposed to public service, but on balance we have a great state and I'm proud to represent my district and my state here in the United States. Congress.
CAVUTO: And how do you feel these days?
LANGEVIN: Well, I'm looking forward to the upcoming election. America certainly is going through a very challenging time. We are facing a war on a different scale right now with this war on terrorism that is going to be with us for a very long time. I sit on the House Armed Services Committee as well as the Select Committee on Homeland Security.
And I know that we face great challenges right now and in the years ahead. But we'll prevail because we have a free and open society, and we want people to realize their full potential and to live their life free in the way that they want to. And that is the only thing that we want for the rest of the world. And...
CAVUTO: Do you think in the process, Congressman, I'll wrap this up because I know you have to go, that you are helping people get a different impression of politicians, because no offense, most Americans do not have a high opinion of those in your profession, are you trying to prove otherwise?
LANGEVIN: Well, I'd like to think that just by my actions that I would give people a better and a different view of politics and public service that there are many people in government and many of my colleagues, I'm proud to — most of my colleagues I'm proud to serve with, with all of them. And I have come across very good and decent people in my time in government. And I know that with the right attitude and determination, we can make a difference. And it is my hope that for myself and for the country we can make a difference together.
CAVUTO: All right, Congressman Jim Langevin, obviously there must be something inspiring about you because the conservatives and Republicans from whom I've gotten e-mail on my book have been most impressed with the chapter on you.
LANGEVIN: Is that right?
CAVUTO: So go figure.
LANGEVIN: That's good to hear, thank you.
CAVUTO: Congressman Jim Langevin, thank you very much.

Seoul Lantern Festival kicks off Friday, lighting up 83 lanterns Updated: 2021-11-26 17:06:19 KST
The Seoul Lantern Festival, an annual Seoul city event that serves as one of the city's main winter tourist attractions,.. just kicked off a few hours ago.
Our reporter Kim Yeon-seung is at the site to give us the full picture.
Yeon-seung, what's that behind you?
Is that a tree-shaped lantern?
Yes that's right Jung-min, so those are lanterns shaped as trees.. and each has a sloth, a turtle, and a snail next to it.
This piece is called the 'slow tree,' and it's a reminder for city dwellers that it's okay to take a break and take it slow once in a while.
There are 82 more lanterns just like this one, and this goes on for 700 meters along this walkway.. all the way from Cheonggye-cheon falls up to the Jangtong-gyo bridge.
Putting these lights altogether, they compose this year's theme, "Forest of healing, the colors of Seoul"
Seoul city officials decided on this theme as they hoped to create a colorful forest that could offer a small piece of solace right here in this bustling city.
Jung-min, it is bit of a frosty winter night out here,.. but honestly, just looking at this beautiful array of night lights is helping me forget the cold.
I advise everyone who's tuning in right now to come on down to Cheonggyecheon stream within the next nine days.. and just take a leisurely stroll along the stream and bask in this colorful display of lights.
The event starts at 5 and ends at 9 PM everyday.
Certainly, the people who are already here seem to be enjoying the event.
"We came here to watch visit the cheonggye-cheon because we saw this announcement that there was this festival, but I couldn't come last year because of corona."
"I think like it gives all an opportunity just to be ourselves and enjoy atmosphere, because it's winter time, it's something new, you don't really expect people to be out in the cold but they are because of this beautiful festival."
"We saw through social media that there was going to be a lantern festival and came after our exams ended. I feel really refreshed and like my stress is going away."
( SNS )
Right, but for those who miss it this year, will they get another chance to visit the Seoul lantern festival?
Most likely so
And for people who can't come this year, they can visit the Seoul Tourism Organization website to get a full-view of this event online.
The Seoul lantern festival has been an ongoing tradition for the past 13 years and it's become one of the most beloved winter events in Seoul city.
Close to two million people visit every year.
The festival always mostly takes place right here at the Cheonggycheon stream, except for last year, when the event had to be hosted amid the COVID-19 pandemic for the first time.
Unfortunately, officials had to break the festival up and disperse it around Seoul city, so that a mass crowd wouldn't flock to one place.
But with the 'gradual easing of restrictions' beginning in November, Seoul Tourism Organization brought back the festival to its rightful home, Cheonggyecheon stream.
Officials though are still taking extra care of prevention measures.
"We limit the number of guests to about 900 people an hour,.. and when they come in we check their temperatures and QR code, so that there's no issue with virus prevention."
That's all I have, but I'm going to stay here a little longer to enjoy myself.
Back to you, Jung-min

Nigerian Army's most gallant commander dies in Boko Haram ambush
November 6, 2016 reformist Leave a comment
It is a sad moment for the Nigerian Army. Its most efficient fighter has died in battle after surviving deadly onslaughts and dodging bullets for years. Muhammed Abu-Ali, a lieutenant colonel, died in an ambush laid for his troops by the terrorist Boko Haram sect Sources said that fourteen Boko Haram insurgents and four other soldiers died in the attack, the army said. Mr. Abu Ali, commanding officer of 272 Tank Battalion, is reputed as the army's bravest commander and fighter in Nigeria's ongoing anti-terrorism war. Last year, he bagged accelerated promotion for his gallantry and efficiency on the battlefield. Highly-placed military officials with knowledge of the battle that claimed the officer and his colleagues informed this newspaper of the development. One of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the attack occurred at Mallam Fatori, a major Boko Haram stronghold on the northernmost tip of Borno State, on Friday evening. The source said Mr. Abu-Ali was hit by several bullets as he tried to reinforce troops to repel an ongoing attack in the town. It is a sad moment for the Nigerian Army.

Pennsylvania Turnpike plans to be all-cashless by fall 2021
After four years of testing, the Pennsylvania Turnpike says it plans to move ahead with a $129 million project to become a completely cashless toll system in two years, eliminating hundreds of toll collecting and auditing positions along the way.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — After four years of testing, the Pennsylvania Turnpike says it plans to move ahead with a $129 million project to become a completely cashless toll system in two years, eliminating hundreds of toll collecting and auditing positions along the way.
Turnpike chief executive officer Mark Compton told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview last week that the pilot phase of the project was over and "the goal is to have the system completely cashless by the fall off 2021."
The system won't take cash after that point, but toll booths will still be at some exit ramps across the commonwealth until 2026 to record E-ZPass signals or photograph license plates so bills can be mailed to drivers. That will continue until the agency finishes up installing 43 overhead gantries in three phases over the next six years.
The jobs of the 600 remaining toll collectors and toll auditors will be eliminated, but officials say they will have the opportunity to move into other turnpike jobs or to take classes at the turnpike's expense.
The turnpike has been testing cashless tolling at several spots, and Compton said the cashless sites have been averaging nearly the same collection rate.
With the system completely cashless, turnpike employment is expected to drop from about 1,900 to about 1,300. Compton said jobs cannot be guaranteed after January 2022, but for several years workers whose jobs will be eliminated have been eligible for up to $5,250 a year in tuition credits to take classes to learn other turnpike or state jobs or to study for a new career.

Canada's Cynthia Appiah blasts to monobob bronze at Park City World Cup
by Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton
PARK CITY, Utah.—A training week to forget resulted in a bronze-medal celebration for Canada's Cynthia Appiah at the Park City World Cup on Friday.
"Today went a lot better than I would have thought. Coming out of that training week, I was really down in the dumps. I wasn't where I wanted to be. I didn't have as much confidence going into this race as I would have liked," said the 32-year-old Appiah.
The second-year pilot on the World Cup credited a good pre-race track walk with technical driving coach, Lyndon Rush, for turning things around when it counted most.
The Torontonian slid to her second-straight World Cup podium in as many races, clocking a third-place time of 1:43.26.
"My track walk with Lyndon really set the tone for me to get everything back on track and resulted in a bronze medal," added Appiah, who won the silver medal one week ago on home ice in Whistler. "He didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but we just started going over the track and he helped me really understand what I needed to do and focus.
"He did tell me to treat it like it is training. Sometimes I overthink it and put more into a race than it needs. It is essentially another day with a speed suit on. That helped bring my emotions down."
Sitting in fifth spot after the first trip down the 15-corner icy chute, Appiah showed her grit while sliding to her sixth career World Cup monobob podium that moved her into second place overall in the World Cup monobob standings.
"The first run was one of the better ones I put down throughout the week, but my start is my bread and butter, and I wasn't happy to see I was out-pushed, so I just wanted to settle down for the second run," said Appiah.
Competing in her first World Cup race as a pilot on the tricky Park City track that puts a demand on driving precision, Appiah refocused knowing anything was possible while heading back to the top of the hill just .15 seconds out of the lead.
"Looking at the times, I told myself 'we still got this," said Appiah, who competed in Park City in 2017 as a brake woman. "It is so easy to fall back (in this sport), but it is just as easy to climb up in the rankings. Looking at my trajectory last season, I always seem to have something in the tank for that second run."
Appiah put all the pieces together in the final heat. An improved start time combined with clean driving led to the second-fastest down time, securing her the final spot on the podium.
Kaillie Humphries, of the United States, was first at 1:42.93. Germany's Lisa Buckwitz was second at 1:43.24.
Canada's Rookie pilot, Bianca Ribi of Calgary, struggled to find the fast line on Friday. The 26-year-old, who was victorious in her World Cup debut last week at the Whistler Sliding Centre, placed seventh at 1:44.01.
Later in the afternoon, Taylor Austin teamed up with Shaquille Murray-Lawrence (Scarborough, Ont.) in the lone Canadian sled for the two-man race.
The 32-year-old Austin and Murray-Lawrence squeaked into the top-10 with a ninth-place finish and a time of 1:37.13.
Germany's Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis stormed back in the final run to take the two-man gold with a time of 1:35.82. Brad Hall and Taylor Lawrence, of Great Britain, took silver at 1:36.08. Switzerland's Michael Vogt and Sandro Michel were third with a time of 1:36.14.
The two-woman and four-man bobsleigh races will take place on Saturday in Park City.
"I have renewed confidence. I know what I need to do on race day, and I think we will put on a good show," said Appiah, who will team up with Leah Walkeden. "We are first off the top of the hill so the ice will be perfect. If I lay down the same runs tomorrow as I did today, I think we will do very well."

Friend circle more predictive of your health than Fitbit alone: Study
06/18/2019 mediabest health
Handing someone a means to track their steps and monitor their health in the hopes that their health improves simply may not be enough to see meaningful or significant results.
Your circle of friends may help you get a better reading on your overall health and wellness than just using wearable devices such as Fitbit, according to researchers, including one of Indian origin. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, analysed what the structure of social networks says about the state of health, happiness, and stress. "We were interested in the topology of the social network what does my position within my social network predict about my health and well-being?" said Nitesh V Chawla, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US.
"What we found was the social network structure provides a significant improvement in predictability of wellness states of an individual over just using the data derived from wearables, like the number of steps or heart rate," Chawla said. For the study, participants wore Fitbits to capture health behaviour data such as steps, sleep, heart rate, and activity level — and completed surveys and self-assessments about their feelings of stress, happiness and positivity.
Chawla and his team then analysed and modeled the data, using machine learning, alongside an individual's social network characteristics including degree, centrality, clustering coefficient and a number of triangles. These characteristics are indicative of properties like connectivity, social balance, reciprocity and closeness within the social network. The study showed a strong correlation between social network structures, heart rate, number of steps and level of activity. Social network structure provided significant improvement in predicting one's health and well-being compared to just looking at health behaviour data from the Fitbit alone.
For example, when the social network structure is combined with the data derived from wearables, the machine learning model achieved a 65 percent improvement in predicting happiness. The model also achieved a 54 percent improvement in predicting one's self-assessed health prediction, 55 percent improvement in predicting a positive attitude, and 38 percent improvement in predicting success. "This study asserts that without social network information, we only have an incomplete view of an individual's wellness state, and to be fully predictive or to be able to derive interventions, it is critical to be aware of the social network structural features as well," Chawla said.
The findings could provide insight to employers who look to wearable fitness devices to incentivise employees to improve their health. Handing someone a means to track their steps and monitor their health in the hopes that their health improves simply may not be enough to see meaningful or significant results. Those employers, Chawla said, would benefit from encouraging employees to build a platform to post and share their experiences with each other.
Social network structure helps complete the picture of health and well-being. "I do believe these incentives that we institute at work are meaningful, but I also believe we're not seeing the effect because we may not be capitalising on them the way we should," Chawla said.

Can Spain's new government work?
After two elections and months of deadlock Spain is finally getting a new government. The socialist PSOE party has decided to back a minority government led by Mariano Rajoy and his conservative People's Party - a course they initially rejected after the election in June. Journalists predict that the Socialists will have a hard time supporting the conservatives.
The Socialists have done themselves irreparable damage by abstaining, Phileleftheros believes.
