Q: Angular2. How can I check if an observable is completed? In my page there is a button that generates a report. That report needs data that is loaded using a http call to a rest endpoint when the page is loaded, but I do not have a guarantee that they are loaded when the user presses the report button.
How can I watch the observable to see if it is completed, and if incomplete, to wait on the action until the http call is completed? Here is some of the code:
loadCompanies(): void {
    this._companyService.getCompanies().subscribe(
        response => {
            this.companiesModel = response;
        },
        err => console.log(err)
    );
}

generateReport() {
   // check if observable that loads companies is completed and do the
   // action using companiesModel.
}

One option is a flag set in loading companies with values of 'loading' and 'completed', and make a wait in generateReport() until the flag is completed,
but I would prefer a solution using the Observable API if possible.

A: One more solution:
Actually subscribe function takes three parameters:
onNext
onError
onCompleted
this._companyService.getCompanies().subscribe(
    (response) => { this.companiesModel = response; },
    (err) => { console.log(err) },
    (finally) => { console.log('finally') }
);

A: Method
finally()

Invokes a specified action after the source observable sequence
  terminates gracefully or exceptionally.

https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/doc/api/core/operators/finally.md

A: In this kind of scenarios it is very useful to use concatMap operator to guarantee to execute the next operation only when the previous has done.
loadCompanies(): void {
    this._companyService.getCompanies()
    .concatMap(companyList => this.getObservableGenerateReport(companyList))
    .subscribe(
        response => {
            this.companiesModel = response;
        },
        err => console.log(err)
    );
}

//Create observable to generate the report
getObservableGenerateReport(response: any): Observable<myReportList> {

    return Observable.create(observer => {

      if (generateReport().isSuccessful) {
        observer.next(myReportList);
        observer.complete();
      } else {
        console.log(err, 'Ups, something was wrong!');
        observer.next({});
        observer.complete();
      }

    });
  }

A: You can do this by using onCompleted callback in subscription. For example, let's say you show loading bar when user press report button;
loadCompanies(): void {
     this._companyService.getCompanies().subscribe(
          response => {
               this.companiesModel = response;
          },
          err => {
               console.log(err);
               //closeLoadingBar();
          },
          () => {
               //do whatever you want
               //closeLoadingBar()
          }
     )
}

generateReport() {
    //showLoadingBar()
    this.loadCompanies();
}

If you get error from your http call, onCompleted method will not be invoked, only onError will be invoked. If it is successful, onCompleted method will be called after your onNext method.
Here is the documentation for subscribe. I hope it helps!

A: If you're doing this to debug, the simplest solution is to use the complete argument of tap:
tap(next: null, error: null, complete: () => void)

With a source source$ it would look like this:
source$.pipe(
  tap(undefined, undefined, console.log)
);

A: The solution I came up with is to use a shared observable, save the request as a hot observable that way when the report button is clicked it will wait for the request or immediately generate if the request is complete.
public companiesModel: Company[];

/** pending request, hot Observable (will emit immediately if complete) */
private companiesRequest: Observable<Company[]>;

constructor(
  private _companyService: CompanyService
) {}

public ngOnInit(): void {
  this.loadCompanies();
}

public generateReport(): void {
  if (this.companiesRequest) {
    // will not make an other network request
    this.companiesRequest.subscribe(
      response => {
        // action using companiesModel.
      },
      err => console.log(err)
    );
  }
}

private loadCompanies(): void {
  this.companiesRequest = this._companyService.getCompanies().pipe(shareReplay());
  this.companiesRequest.subscribe(
    response => {
      this.companiesModel = response;
    },
    err => console.log(err)
  );
}

Sometimes I wake up and want brunch and sometimes I wake up and want Pinch Kitchen's brunch! The Egg in a Basket is always my go to. It's a homemade potato bowl filled with egg and potato foam, served with a tiny mountain of speck and whole wheat toast. All seemingly simple elements but when put together it's perfection! I may also be slightly allergic to one of the spices used with the speck but it's just so good that I continued to suffer through the itching over and over again.
Secret menu item at Hillstone Coral Gables ! They can make a "cuban" style version of their famous french dip by adding cheese and pressing it. Who knew? Even old classic favorites can sometimes surprise you.
It's funny how the simplest of ideas can wow a table. Our friends live in Morningside and after we raved about Pinch Kitchen, we offered to meet them for dinner one night. While the regular menu at Pinch Kitchen is full of great dishes, I look forward to their specials. This week's specials included kimchee guacamole. Who knew that the marriage of guacamole and kimchee would be such a winning combination? Everyone at our table angled for the last bite. So good!!!! Like I said, it's the simple things....done well.
The Coffee Paolo pizza at Visa-01 which has real coffee on it along with hot salami, Gorgonzola and wild honey. And now Visa-01 has two locations! Miami Beach and Brickell. Their signature Star Luca Pizza is also a treat not to be missed.
Warm Baked Brie from Perricone's in Brickell. It's TO DIE FOR!!! Best baked Brie in Miami. Enough to share and a great appetizer for the table.
Always a wonderful comfort food choice is the Asado de Res with onions and avocado slices from Mr. and Mrs. Bun!

7 in critical condition after Madison bus crash in snowstorm
Feb 9, 2016 at 12:12 PM Feb 9, 2016 at 12:38 PM
NEW HAVEN - Seven people remain in critical condition following a charter bus crash that injured three dozen during Monday's snowstorm on Interstate 95 in Connecticut.
Hospital spokesman Mark D'Antonio said Tuesday a total of 11 patients remain at Yale-New Haven Hospital from the accident.
State police say 36 people were injured when the bus carrying 55 passengers from New York to the Mohegan Sun Casino hit a guardrail and flipped onto its side in the town of Madison.
State police say the driver, 63-year-old Keyi Zang of Queens, New York, told them he was merging into the right lane when he lost control and slid off the snow-covered highway and into the metal barrier.
Video from near the scene showed the bus on its side off the right shoulder of northbound side of the highway.

2465 - COWBOYS, THE - LIVE AT TONY'S GARAGE - (7")
While touring the West coast in May 2017, Bloomington rock'n'roll heroes The Cowboys stopped for a one-off recording session at a friend's garage in sunny Whittier, California. The result: an impressively tight and vibrant batch of tracks, brimming with crunchy, direct-to-tape production. Instead of letting this powerful session dwindle on the original cassette that it was recorded on, we've opted to press Live at Tony's Garage to a proper destination format, 7" vinyl at 45 RPM. The session kicks off with possibly the best recorded version of a Cowboys staple, "Mint Condition", plus two more raw originals that were recently featured on their debut LP for Hozac. The session also features a roaring cover of the 1964 garage rock classic, "The Witch", as originally performed by The Sonics. This perfect four track EP sits nicely between The Cowboys' incredible string of studio recordings and the raw energy of their live performances. Live at Tony's Garage has been remastered for vinyl by Josh Bonati and includes a Cowboys sticker plus digital download code with an exclusive bonus track.

2466 - COWBOYS, THE - THE BOTTOM OF A ROTTEN FLOWER - (CD)
"The fourth album by the Cowboys (from Bloomington, Indiana) is kinda like a modern Midwestern version of THE WHO SELL-OUT or SOMETHING ELSE BY THE KINKS--a basic R&R band stretching its wings to embrace more varied musical elements and dig into deeper subject matter. The Cowboys grow up! And they grow in number too, with Chris Kramer (Nobunny/Slushy) joining the brilliant Mark McWhirter for a killer guitar team. Vocalist/songwriter Keith Harman alters his whooping nasal-punk a bit, with a more naturalistic approach when it fits the mood. His songwriting skills are mighty. Zackery Worcel (bass) and Jordan Tarantino (drums) provide a solid, relentless groove. There are 16 hooky gems in this new LP. To compare the Cowboys songs to Pete Townshend and Ray Davies was no casual thing up front. Check "Doghouse Rag" for primo late-60s Kink-kwality pop. Then theres the insanely hooky "Some Things Never Change," with its nod to early 70s Sparks. This song should be a smash hit RIGHT NOW! And dig "Bodie, Dont Jump" in all its bubblegum glory! The deceptively short "Deuce" with its 70s-style pop exploding into VU-like noise, etc. Its very cool to see a modern R&R band progress in the true sense of the word--to mature and seek new horizons. Ive personally seen them when they opened the very first show by the reunited Gizmos in 2014, and then when they played with us again in Chicago 2017, to this new album. Its an impressive climb. For anybody into garage-rock or power-pop, this has gotta be an instant CLASSIC! But Im just gonna call it rocknroll." --Eddie Flowers, Vulcher Magazine/The Gizmos.

2468 - COWBOYS, THE - VOLUME 4 - (LP)
At long last, a proper American pressing of the incredible Volume 4 cassette from Bloomington, Indiana's hometown heroes, The Cowboys. By now, you might be familiar with the stripped down, yet intelligent and powerful rock'n'roll force of The Cowboys - perhaps from their recent full length on Hozac or from their earlier cassette output which was collected onto an LP by Lumpy Records. Volume 4 captures The Cowboys at a near-perfect intersection of their earlier, lo-fi moments of Gizmos-esque Midwestern punk snarl and the more tuneful, soul-spun moments of recent output. This definitive edition of Volume 4 reproduces the ten song tracklisting of the original 2016 cassette edition released by fellow Bloomingtonian Kora Puckett (of Bugg, Laffing Gas, and Chud) on his Turd Wurld imprint. From the opening hook of "When She Came Back" (available on vinyl for the first time here, as well as the lead cut on side B, "Porridge"), The Cowboys showcase a songwriting knack and musical ability that is rarely achieved, nor captured so well in a studio setting. Keith Harman's next-level vocal delivery leads the charge across the entire album, ranging from the strong, anthemic chants of "I Feel Therefore I Am" to the deep, melancholic closing moments of "Actors". And what's more? The musicianship across this entire album is every bit as impeccable - beginning with the forceful and driving rhythm section and continuing to the absolutely unbridled guitar playing and tone, the sum of which shapes the texture of the entire recording. A score of Bloomington-based guest musicians, including Durand Jones (leader of modern soul sensations, The Indications) and John Terrill (formerly of the early 80's new wave group, The Dancing Cigarettes) only adds to the already searing mix. Altogether, The Cowboys have captured something truly unrivaled and exceptional on Volume 4 - an album that speaks from a homespun, Midwestern vantage point and fires on all musical cylinders. The end result: ten absolutely classic sonic reductions of epic proportion. This definitive edition of Volume 4 has been cut at 45 RPM by Josh Bonati and includes a new insert with artwork from The Cowboys' own Zack Worcel plus a digital download code.

2470 - COWLEY, PATRICK - SCHOOL DAZE - (CD)
Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem have teamed up to release the gay porn soundtrack work of San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music coined "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco where he founded the Electronic Music Lab. During this time Patrick would create radio jingles and electronic pieces using the school's equipment, first a Putney, then an E-MU System and finally a Serge synthesizer. He would make experimental instrumental songs by blending various types of music and adapting them to the synthesizer. By the mid-70's, Patrick's synthesizer skills landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco superstar Sylvester such as "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", "Dance Disco Heat" and "Stars." This helped Patrick obtain more work as a remixer and producer. Of particular note was his 18-minute long remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and production work with edgy New Wave band Indoor Life. By 1981 Patrick released a string of dance 12? singles, like "Menergy" and "Megatron Man", creating the soundtrack for a generation. Also that year, he founded Megatone Records and released his debut album. Around this time Patrick was hospitalized and diagnosed with a then-unknown illness: that would later be called AIDS. Prior to his passing on November 12, 1982, he recorded two more Hi-NRG hits, "Do You Wanna Funk" for Sylvester and "Right On Target" for Paul Parker. In 1981 Patrick was contacted by John Coletti, owner of famed gay porn company Fox Studio in Los Angeles. John had heard about Patrick's music from the legendary Sylvester and proposed he write music for his films. Patrick jumped on this offer and sent reels of his college compositions from the 70s to John in LA. Coletti then used a variable speed oscillator to adjust the pitch and speed of Patrick's songs in-sync with the film scene. "School Daze" is a collection of Cowley's instrumental songs recorded between 1973 and 1981 found in the Fox Studio vaults. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos and Giorgio Moroder, Patrick forged an electronic sound from his collection of synthesizers, modified guitars and self-constructed equipment. The listener enters a world of dark forbidden vices, introspective and reflective of Patrick's time spent in the bathhouses of San Francisco. The songs on "School Daze" range from sparse proto-techno to high octane funk to somber post-punk to musique concrete, revealing the depth of Cowley's unique talent. Featuring over 80 minutes of music, this compilation contains soundtrack music from two Fox Studio films, "Muscle Up" and "School Daze", never before released on vinyl. The tapes were restored and transferred using the same speed and pitch settings, then remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket gatefold featuring classic gay porn imagery from the Fox Studio vaults plus an essay from Indoor Life vocalist, Jorge Soccarras. For Patrick's 63rd birthday, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem present a glimpse into the instrumental world of a young genius. These recordings shine a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon. All proceeds from "School Daze" will be donated to Project Open Hand and the AIDS Housing Alliance.

It was his sisters writing a letter to producer Jack Good demanding that he give their brother an audition thathelped turn Michael Cox into something of a recording star. After successfully passing the audition and appearingon Boy Meets Girls Michael picked up a contract with Decca Records, one that was to last for two singles.He was then snapped up by maverick record producer Joe Meek who helped craft his early chart hits, includingAngela Jones. Whilst subsequent singles failed to achieve quite the same impact, Michaels abilities were nevercalled into question. Bizarrely, he never released an album during his heyday, his skipping from one label to anotherperhaps the reason. Instead we have gathered together those early recordings to present some of his bestknown work.

With already 5 vinyl only EPs under their belt CPC Gangbangs have solidified their status in the subterranean abyss that is the new punk underground railroad. Although their sound is celebratory and consuming it is often evil as well and full of the promise of self-destruction boosted by copious amounts of cocaine, LSD and Canadian Maple Whiskey. This sound is part Warsaw, part 13th Floor Elevators, part Flamin Groovies, part Turkish psychedelic rock and all while their feet are deeply rooted in the unrestrained attack of primal punk deconstruction. Guitars are broken, amps are on fire, drums avalanche off the stage and someone gets hurt.

Crackups are a band of extremes. Insanely fast, but tight as a duck's ass. Extremely loud but with a keen sense of melody. Featuring members from Double Veterans, Priceduifkes, Psycho 44, they gained notoriety through fiercely intense live shows and a defiant punk attitude. After reaching the finals of Belgium's biggest talent hunt Humo's Rock Rally and releasing a bottle rocket of a debut album with 'Animals on Acid', they suddenly disappeared from the scene in 2012. Now they are throwing themselves headfirst into a comeback, the likes of which this land has never seen... with a joyful sound inspired by The Stooges, Black Flag and Devo, mashed into something fiercely unique and original.

I needed some Rosemary Lavender Eucalyptus Pink Himalayan Salt bars. Then I got the urge to add Tea Tree to it, as I feel like I need more experience soaping with that essential oil. I used a ratio of 1.5:1:1:1 – Rosemary, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree: 1.5 oz, 1 oz, 1 oz, & 1 oz – blended together and added to the soap batter.
I have a recipe that I have used a half dozen times and find it works quite well.
I have used a variety of oils for the first ingredient: usually mixing & matching 5% of: Apricot Kernel, Avocado, Grapeseed, Olive, and Rice Bran oils or Cocoa/Mango Butter.
I have always used single bar silicone molds and my 9-bar mold with dividers. This time I used the 9-bar mold and a 6-bar mold without dividers, plus impression mats. I have never cut salt bars, so it was a new experience.
Positive Impression Mat. This Cool Tools mat grows each time I use it. I had to trim 3/8 inch off for this project, when it was a perfect fit the last time I used it. (See Blog Lemongrass Kumquat with Peacock Impression Mat, Feb 1, 2016). This mat is made for jewelry making and I think it has a reaction to the high Ph in soap.
I usually discount my distilled water/Aloe juice, but did not this time. I used LabColors and then realized I should have done some discounting to allow for the water in the dilution of the LabColors.
After letting the Lye water & oils cool to 115 degrees, I blended them to emulsification – dividing evenly into 4 containers and added BB LabColors: Fuchsia, Lavender (plus a little leftover TKB Fox pigment in oil), Eucalyptus mist green & a hint of Apple green, and Aqua blue.
I wanted to try to get a smoother finish on top of the bars, than what the gritty salt gives you.
The bottom of the 6-bar mold with just a bit of batter to cover the peacock impression mat.
I added my blended scents to each container, mixed thoroughly, then added 5.5 oz (by volume) of fine pink Himalayan salt to each of the 4 containers (22 oz total) and poured diagonal & horizontal lines of soap into the 9-bar mold (using about 55 oz of batter). It was very thin and got really dark & muddy looking, so I did not do any swirling on top (which will end up being the bottom anyway).
Looks very dark & muddy, but I know from experience that these LabColors will lighten up quite a bit.
I wanted to let the batter thicken up for the 6-bar mold, but it seemed to take forever, as I cleaned up my work area, put things away, etc. – while checking on my batter ever 30-60 seconds.
So while waiting, I decided to brighten up my colors a bit.
In total, I incorporated BB Ultramarine Blue pigment, BB Electric Bubblegum pigment, BB Easter Purple LabColor, and more BB Green Apple LabColor.
After brightening up the colors. The purple looks like more of a plum color, from the Easter Purple LabColor, which will morph after gelling.
After what seemed like 30-40 minutes, my batter was a little thicker and I poured horizontal & vertical lines of soap in my mold, then did a Taiwan swirl all the way through and attempted to do a circling Taiwan swirl, but after only 4-5 circles, the batter was getting really muddy on the sides, so I stopped and added a couple swirls through the middle.
6-bar mold after pouring the brighter colored batter.
I was surprised that I still had some batter left and wished I would have added more in my 9-bar mold to compensate for the extra water that will evaporate.
But I made 2 more soaps using rectangular silicone molds: pink & purple leftover batter (that looks more red & burgundy), poured into a wedge/triangle and swirled. And blue & green leftover batter, poured on the diagonal, and swirled.
9 hours later, after unmolding.
I removed the soap from the 9-bar mold 9 hours after pouring, but the 6-bar mold was still too soft. I unmolded and cut it 19 hours after soaping and fortunately it was easy to cut.
In the past, I have waited too long to take the soap out of the 9-bar mold and the sides would stick to the dividers and come away very rough looking (even when I used cyclomethincone on the dividers.) So this was a great lesson learned.
The soap that I had pre-poured onto the impression mat was too soft and stuck to the mat – so that experiment was an utter failure. I think I would have needed to pour soap onto the mat and let it sit for a couple days for this to work.
This may have to be the bottom of the soap bars.
Close up – you can see the gritty under-layer that has the salt in it, and what's left of the smooth soap on top (without salt). The design came through better on the left side.
After cutting – this may have to be the bottom of the bars.
Even after weighting down the peacock impression mat & trimming it, it still curled under a bit, which caused the soaps to be a bit concave, like a soufflé that has fallen (not visible in the photos.) I had hoped that the weight of the soap would flatten it out more.
I have never tried to trim up the edges of salt bars and I was met with mixed results doing this. Some of the bars were still soft enough to run my fingers over the edges and smooth them out, but many left a rough planed, salty looking edge.
Some of the back sides of the impression mat were more colorful than the front. Even after cleaning & steaming, they are still rustic.
Second batch: the colors are bolder, but only half the bars with the peacock impression mat look decent enough to call the top. I am pleased that the pink stayed bright and did not turn to a redder color.
The 2 bars in individual rectangular molds were too soft to unmold for several days and by then, they were covered in soda ash. I learned that planing off the top is not the way to go – it made it much, much worse – making it look really rough and covered it in white salt speckles to the point that the design is no longer visible.
The pink & purple soap still has some ash even after steaming. The green & blue soap is too coarse to use as the front. The back side of both are very smooth and more presentable.
Next time I would like to try the Brining method – adding salt to the lye water (which dissolves) – with additional salt at trace to see if it will produce a slightly smoother bar.
Very little salt is used in Sole Seife bars (brine soap), so I'm not sure how much Pink Himalayan salt benefits would transfer (as PH salt seems to be a miracle worker with skin issues), but that would be interesting to try on it's own too. (See Feb 11, 2016 Soap Queen Blog for Brine soap).
I look back on these and see how terribly "rustic" they are. But with practice comes more experience and lots of improvement.

Home / ADAPTATION / Finding One's Soulmate in "Every Day"
Finding One's Soulmate in "Every Day"
Ravenfox13 11:54:00 AM ADAPTATION
Exploring the universal themes of true love, identity and coming of age, the upcoming charming movie "Every Day" reflects very contemporary ideas about acceptance and the freedom to be whoever you are – an idea very resonant in today's young people who increasingly reject categorization.
The movie follows a teenage entity named only A, who wakes up every day in a different body, Every Day deals with the challenges faced when A falls head over heels in love with Rhiannon (Angourie Rice), a girl unlike anyone they've ever met. Can you have a relationship with a soul who inhabits a different body every day – sometimes boy, sometimes girl, sometimes the school quarterback, sometimes the outcast? Who are you removed of your body, your race, your clothes, your family? The story is the actualization of the old adage that we should 'love someone for who they are on the inside,' all the more powerful because it is set during the teenage years when we customarily try on and experiment with myriad external identities in an effort to figure out we are.
Screenwriter Jesse Andrews also opted to fill out Rhiannon's world, specifically giving her a family backstory that didn't exist in the novel. Rhiannon's father is recovering from a nervous breakdown and not working, her mother is the sole breadwinner, her sister Jolene is a bit of a wild child, and Rhiannon is the rock trying to hold everything together. "What was great about what Jesse did with Rhiannon's story – introducing the family and their history – is that it gives Rhiannon a really clear character arc," says Grass. "When we meet Rhiannon she has a real desire for normalcy but she is also somewhat stuck and unable to fully discover herself because her focus is on supporting her family. This is the foundation from which she takes off on this incredible journey."
Like so many her age, when the producers approached Angourie they discovered that she had already read the book and was a fan. "I loved the book and I love concepts like this. The story questions things we take for granted about how we think about ourselves and how don't always see people for who they really are, focusing too much on outside appearances. I thought it would make an awesome movie."
The Rhiannon who we meet at the beginning of the film is living a fairly conventional life, albeit being the rock of her destabilized family. A nice girl, a good friend, a solid student, Rhiannon is dating the popular boy at school, though she doesn't feel very connected to him or much appreciated. She's playing all the parts she feels she should play at the expense of her own self-discovery.
Rice adds, "She and everyone around her are all seeing each other not for who they are, but for who they think they should be, which I think is pretty common. Another important part of Rhiannon's journey is learning to see and accept those around her, and she then shares that perspective with her family."
"Every Day" opens February 21 in cinemas nationwide from Pioneer Films.

Calibration Laboratory - Cal Lab Co., Inc.
A calibration laboratory is a company that provides calibration services for instruments off-site of the plant. These laboratories often specialize in the calibration and repair of vibration and acoustic testing instrumentation. They can only service small-scale instruments. Calibration devices use electrical signals to calibrate instruments, meaning they measure the reading, or output, of a device and compare it to accepted standards set by the manufacturers and used by the industry.
After calibration, the instrument can be adjusted to match the standards exactly to maximize efficiency. Accuracy and precision are essential to the performance of electronic measurement tools and devices in many industries like music, audio-visual, electricity and gas, just to name a few. Regular calibration testing is necessary to maintain quality standards set by the manufacturers and cost-effective business for the operator.
Calibration laboratories can also offer specialized environments, like temperature-controlled and sized-controlled labs, that can ensure further accuracy and precision of the calibration services provided. These laboratories provide calibration and repair services for a wide variety of electronic instruments, including analyzers, acoustical and charge amplifiers, filters, transducers, digital recorders, microphones, meters, power supplies and many more.
Calibration laboratories can act as repair centers for inaccurate instruments and components. The laboratories also serve as an alternative to field service where a specialized technician visits the plant and works on-site to fix the instruments and components. Normally, the technician visits the plant when the instrument or equipment needing calibration is too big or inconvenient to move.

On-The-Rise is a non-profit that helps at-risk youth in Clark County. The organization is a year-round program which promotes responsibility, compassion, work ethic and positive self-image by getting back to basics in a working farm setting.
On-The-Rise was opened in 2002 by founders Debbie McCullough and Cathy Tofstad. Realizing that youth needed positive out lets and the ability to shine in many different ways. By creating a multi- sensory program with many different facets to it, youth can find what they're good at and make positive changes.
On-The-Rise offers years round programs for youth: after-school programs that promotes healthy lifestyles, from dinner, cooking, gardening, sewing, and caring for animals on the farm. We also partner with many community organizations to give our youth a well rounded education. During the school year we partner with WittenbergUniversity to assist our youth with tutors and mentors, for homework and one on one help as needed.
Summer programming is from 9-12 daily, we offer many different off the farm experiences, and a summer reading program working comprehension and the world around us.
On-The-Rise also has a 4-H Club in Clark County, projects ranging from, goats, chickens, turkey, art, gardening, archery.
On-The-Rise is the oldest vendor at the Springfield Farmers Market (about 10 years), the reason we started years ago was to teach employment skills off the farm. Once we see that a youth has made enough progress at the farm with social skills and behavior the youth are encouraged to work. They have to get there and on time, and be able to answer questions about how our animals are raised. They learn to make change correctly. The youth do earn money for attending.
Benefits for our community is that they are able to obtain, fresh local meats and eggs that have been raised right and with love. This helps teach our youth social skills and a positive light in the community.
The Wittenberg Community Service Program provides numerous opportunities, not only for our youth in homework help but being mentors for your youth. Hopefully seeing themselves there one day. Gamma Phi Betagirls have adopted our girls program as "little sisters" and they come out to the farm, tour the campus, and all so have our girls work events with them. This is a win-win program for On-The-Rise.
On-The-Rise is such an open door for this community, opportunity for helping is endless - anything from a reading buddy for a child, to job tours, cooking, to a craft to share. Help with fundraisers, or possible office work.
On The Rise ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate the new barn after a fire ravaged the original last November.

Copyright claim against Beyonce's 'Lemonade' dismissed
Categories: America, Copyright Protection
In the music industry there has been a surge of claims made against songwriters citing infringement of copyright.
A recent addition to this list was a claim made by Nathan Fulks, against Beyonce, stating that her new album 'Lemonade' infringed the copyright protection vested in his work 'Palinoia'.
Fulks claimed that there were nine visual similarities between his seven minute short film and the film and trailer made to promote 'Lemonade'.
These similarities were mainly based on the 'total look and feel' of the two works as well as some audio similarities.
This claim however was dismissed by U.S District Court Judge Rakoff who went through each detail of Fulk's claim citing why the similarities highlighted were not enough for copyright purposes.
The Judge who sits in the U.S District Court of the Southern District of New York, also made comments on the differing concepts of the two works, Fulk's being based on a Caucasian male suffering in the wake of an unexplained failed relationship, with no reconciliation. Whereas, 'Lemonade' portrayed an African-American woman's journey in her relationship through stages of suspicion, denial, anger, and reconciliation.
The fact that the both were in reference to a struggling relationship was not enough to deem them conceptually similar.
Rakoff was so sure of the lack of similarity, he deemed it unnecessary for the case to be heard by a Jury as it was a clear cut case where no jury could find substantial similarity. Â

The new proposed community-wide logo and tagline for the City of Muscatine and other stakeholders is still up for debate as council plans to further discuss using the branding materials at an upcoming meeting.
MUSCATINE — Muscatine tourism will be up for discussion during Thursday's in-depth city council meeting.
The council meets at 7 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 215 Sycamore St.
Resident Paul Carroll has made a request to present information "concerning the city's investment in tourism and the spending of hotel-motel tax," he wrote in a proposal attached to the council agenda.
The proposal also clearly states the presentation is not "a debate about the city logo. It's not a debate about how the Convention and Visitors Bureau is staffed under GMCCI (Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry). It's not a performance review of staff."
Muscatine has a seven percent hotel and motel tax on top of the state's five percent state excise tax on room rentals. The CVB receives 25 percent of the actual hotel and motel tax receipts from the previous year rather than a fixed amount each year.
According to the proposal, Carroll plans to discuss staff turnover and continuity at the CVB, negative retail climate, the benefit of a tourism industry sales tax, city livability, a broader view of the city's attractions and relationship to the city's Comprehensive Plan.
The council will also discuss a request to approve an agreement with Stanley Consultants for $119,150 to redesign part of the High Strength Waste Receiving Project with the Water and Resource Recovery Facility and Solid Waste Department. According to supporting documents, the de-packaging operation will be moved to the Recycling Center, and the engineering firm would create a redesign for the new location and a redesign of the liquid receiving station at the WRRF.
In October, bids for the project came in between $4.2 and $5.2 million — much higher than the proposed $3 million. With the new location and redesign, the new proposed total for the project is $2.4 million.
Also on the agenda is reaccreditation of the Muscatine Art Center through the American Alliance of Museums with a statement of support from the council and a proposed commission or advisory council for public art in Muscatine.

Building for Our Future
"Our neighborhood hospital was built upon philanthropy, a tradition that has brought us to where we are today. This project is not an enhancement— it's something that the Riddle community must do, now more than ever in these unprecedented times. I hope you will join Mary Ann and me in supporting this important campaign."
— Don Saleski, Board Chair, The Riddle HealthCare Foundation
Riddle Hospital opened in 1963 as the direct result of a bequest from Samuel D. Riddle, a native of Delaware County, local businessman and breeder of famous racehorses—Man O'War and War Admiral, to name two.
Mr. Riddle's will stipulated that his estate of $2.2 million and 72 acres of land be utilized to "... establish, construct, equip, maintain and operate a hospital, staff and personnel, for the relief of suffering humanity and for the care of the sick, injured and afflicted … to be established in the Borough of Media or the vicinity thereof."
The staff and physicians of Riddle Hospital proudly carry on Mr. Riddle's legacy in our commitment to providing superior patient care for the communities we serve.
Message from Our Leadership
The delivery of health care is evolving quickly, now more than ever. Our facilities must be modern and adaptable for all levels of care, for patient and staff safety, and to meet the needs of our community.
Since joining the Main Line Health system more than a decade ago, Riddle Hospital has made great progress, including the Emergency Department expansion and renovation, opening of the Wound Care Center and MRI and Interventional Suites, plus Health Center 4 and comprehensive renovation of The Birthplace.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Riddle Hospital along with the rest of Main Line Health, took crucial steps to mitigate community spread while continuing to meet the health care needs of our patients. We could not be any prouder of our health care team for providing excellent, compassionate care in the face of COVID-19— they are true heroes who went the extra mile in extraordinary ways. We are so appreciative of our community members who provided generous support in the form of donations, meals, letters of support and much more.
As we look towards the future we are thrilled to be embarking upon the most significant facility improvement in Riddle's nearly 60-year legacy. This Master Facility Project will transform our campus with a new state-of-the-art, five-story Patient Pavilion, all single patient rooms, contemporary facilities and advanced technology to support the evolving needs of the community. This critical $327 million investment in Riddle Hospital and Delaware County reflects Main Line Health's unwavering commitment to "be the health care provider of choice in leading and optimizing the health of all in our communities."

Advancing Health Care in Our Community
When Samuel Riddle—noted sportsman and Delaware County native—left in trust the land and financial support to build a hospital, our mission to provide quality health care began. More than 55 years later, through enduring support from grateful patients and the surrounding community, Riddle Hospital has steadily grown through investments including our Emergency Department expansion and The Birthplace renovations so that we can continue to put patients and families first. It is time to upgrade and expand our facilities in order to match the excellent care provided. We are thrilled to launch the most transformational endeavor in our history—a complete campus modernization including the construction of a new Patient Pavilion at the heart of our campus, as well as major reconstruction within the existing hospital. Riddle Hospital is privileged to be a vital part of the Delaware County community and exceptional philanthropic support has helped bring us to where we are today. We hope you will choose to continue this tradition by contributing to our $11 million Building for Our Future capital campaign, our largest fundraising goal in Riddle's history. Your investment as donors will help us continue to offer superior care close to home, that will benefit multitudes of patients. On behalf of Riddle Hospital and The Riddle HealthCare Foundation, we consider it an honor and a privilege to share this opportunity and extend our deepest appreciation for your consideration.

Encouraging Posttraumatic Growth Through Warrior PATHH
Sponsored - The following content is created on behalf of SSI/Big Red Barn Retreat and does not reflect the opinions of Gray Media or its editorial staff. To learn more about SSI/Big Red Barn Retreat, visit https://www.thebigredbarnretreat.org/
Warriors are masters of putting up walls and masking the stress and struggle of life. At the Big Red Barn Retreat, we understand their challenges and believe our Warriors want to conquer their personal battles and become a better version of themselves, despite not knowing how to get there.
Warrior PATHH, a program created and studied by Boulder Crest in Virginia, helps train Warriors how to take struggle and grow from it, as opposed to suffering from it. Allowing Warriors to train how to struggle well in the aftermath of trauma gives them the opportunity to become the best version of themselves and live the life they desire.
What Is Warrior PATHH?
Warrior PATHH is a transformative, lifelong, Posttraumatic Growth-based peer-based training program for combat veterans and first responders that relies on a variety of educational and experiential activities for the purpose of teaching life skills, increasing community integration and involvement, and promoting physical, emotional, relational, financial, and spiritual health.
Posttraumatic Growth
Posttraumatic growth is both a process that you go through, and it's also an outcome. And what posttraumatic growth is all about are the ways in which the experiences we go through that cause us to struggle, also lead us to be reflective, and force us to take a knee and start to think about who we are, and where we're going, and why we're here. What happens a great deal of the time, is that people who go through these difficult life experiences often report that in the aftermath of that experience, going through the process of posttraumatic growth leads them to report that their life has changed for the better, in terms of it being more authentic, more meaningful, and more purposeful than it was before they had that experience. And they report where that growth occurs is in 5 different areas:
A sense of new possibilities and hope for the future
A commitment in recognition of the value of deeper relationships with other people
A sense of personal strength, the idea that nothing can permanently knock me down.
Appreciation for life, gratitude for things both small and big
A spiritual change, this sense of asking and reflecting on the deepest questions that life can offer us. Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I belong?
And that's what posttraumatic growth describes, and what the entire science and concept behind it are all about. And what's unique about Boulder Crest's Warrior PATHH Program is that it reflects the first ever time to use the process of posttraumatic growth to drive towards the outcome of posttraumatic growth. Warrior PATHH is the first ever program designed specifically to cultivate and facilitate posttraumatic growth amongst combat veterans and first responders who are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other sorts of mental health challenges, and enable them, and to train them to transform that struggle into strength and growth.
The Post-traumatic model dictates that in order to facilitate Posttraumatic Growth, trauma survivors will benefit from expert companionship. The concept of expert companionship emphasizes that trauma survivors first need companionship, and the companion must be first willing to learn from the trauma survivor about their life and experiences, and not start with taking a position of knowing how that person should live their life. The concept of expert companionship emphasizes that the relationship is more important that the technical expertise. Therefore, paraprofessionals and partners in the trauma survivorship can be very effective in facilitating PTG.
During your time at the Big Red Barn Retreat in the Warrior PATHH program, we refer to the role of expert companion as an Expert Guide.
Living well and struggling well requires humility, regular and intentional Wellness Practices, a strong support network, and the setting and accomplishing of goals.
There are ten key attributes necessary to be an Expert Guide:
An Expert Guide is congruent. They're head and heart are connected, and thoughts, feelings and actions are positively aligned, that one can respond to life, rather than react to it.
An Expert Guide is honest. In a world that can often be indirect and passive-aggressive, Expert Guides say what they mean and men what they say.
An Expert Guide is open. The capacity and willingness to share lessons, experiences, and struggles honestly is what makes Guides successful.
An Expert Guide is patient. Every human being is on a journey at their own pace and in their own way. Guides must meet people where they are at, and trust in the journey that they're on.
An Expert Guide Shows positive regard. At times, people can be challenging and frustrating, but no matter what, Guides maintain positive regard.
An Expert Guide is prepared. Expert Guides take the time to learn, practice, and deeply understand the Warrior PATHH program, hence it enhances their ability to deliver the content to people who need it.
An Expert Guide is fully present. Guides will devote all of their time, attention, and effort to the people they are working with
An Expert Guide is curious. Every human being as a story to tell and deserves the opportunity to share it. Guides will ask thought-provoking questions and minimize talking.
Who is Eligible for the Warrior PATHH?
Warrior PATHH is available to men and women combat veterans and first responders.
Participants MUST be active, retired, or separated from service. We support all military, first responder, reservists, and National Guard members.
We define a "combat veteran" as anyone who has deployed or supported a combat zone.
We define a "first responder" as anyone who serves their community as a Police Officer, Sheriff's Deputy, Fire Fighter, EMS, Health Care Worker, or any Federal Law Enforcement or Intelligence Agency personnel.
Our ideal candidate is a warrior who is determined to win their personal battles, has a willingness to accept coaching and a desire to embrace the process. A warrior who has a vision of what they want despite not knowing how to get there and a passion to live fully.

Teacher of the Year, Simpson grad to speak in series
by Billy Weathers and Julia Warfield
Charity Campbell is this year's recipient of the prestigious award, Iowa Teacher of the Year (TOY). Campbell is a Simpson College alumna who graduated in 1996.
Campbell is a physical education teacher at Norwalk Middle School, the varsity track coach, co-lead mentor and an all around influential leader in the Norwalk district. She attributes much of her success to her experiences as a Simpson student.
Bob Nutgrass, professor of physical education, was one of Campbell's professors at Simpson and had only exceptional things to say about her character and overall charisma.
"She was a great student," Nutgrass said. "She balanced her track and athletics with her academics in great fashion as a true student-athlete. She never stopped working hard to improve herself on the track or in the class room. She certainly deserves the recognition that the Iowa TOY brings to her. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Simpson College should be very proud to have an alumna such as Charity as a testament to the top-quality type of graduates we develop at Simpson College."
Campbell spoke at the West Des Moines Campus on March 27 as a part of Simpson's Speaker Series.
"We have been offering six speakers a year, three in the fall and three in the spring," said Rosemary Link, associate vice president for academic affairs. "We are particularly focusing on leaders themselves telling us about their experience of leadership so students can hear it from those who know."
Each speaker focuses on a different topic to capture the attention of a wide variety of students. However, the main focus of each presentation is leadership.
"The distinguishing factors (when selecting speakers) are that someone has several years of being a leader, a successful leader, and that they are willing to talk with us and give us their time," Link said.
A number of candidates are presented to Simpson each year, but the choice of Campbell was a no brainer.
"She was picked for us because she is the Teacher of the Year for Iowa, the whole (state) of Iowa," Link said. "So we are extremely lucky to have her. She is someone who is a fabulous example and role model for us and she is a wonderful, energetic and creative teacher."
Simpson is very proud of Campbell's success and the education department.
"We pride ourselves on having an outstanding teacher education program," adjunct professor Marcy Hahn said. "We know that to be effective teachers and to inspire others to be effective teachers, we have to invest in each person academically and emotionally. It's like a winning sports program, it gets positive attention, and others considering teaching will give us a look."
Link said Simpson students can benefit greatly from listening to Campbell.
"I hope they attend because it helps them see people who bring passion to their work," Link said. "Everyone we have had speak really has a sense of vocation and what they do. Someone like Charity Campbell they just really walk the talk. They demonstrate to us what it means to bring passion to their lives. I hope students get that sense of, 'wow I can really follow through on my dreams even if there are some tough patches.' I hope that they have the opportunity to network with employers and with colleagues, and come away with a good sense of what good leadership looks like."
Students believe they can benefit from listening to Campbell too.
"I could learn leadership skills from her such as time management and patience," said Jaime Williams, sophomore and vice president of Simspon's Education Club. "I think this is a great opportunity for students to learn from her and get new ideas."
The Simpson Speaker Series is a great opportunity for students to hear real life experiences from some influential people. The events in the Speaker Series take place on the last Tuesday of each month and transportation is provided to each event free of charge.

Eight Melbourne research teams have received grants totalling $646,000 from the Melbourne HIV Cure Consortium (MHCC), a collaborative research effort aiming to accelerate efforts to find a cure for HIV.
The recipients include Dr James McMahon, Head of The Alfred's Department of Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Unit, who received a grant to expand a clinical trial to find rare infected cells in people on HIV treatment using a radioactive label followed by an MRI.
There are 36.7 million people living with HIV around the world in what's now considered a manageable condition with antiretroviral treatment in most cases. But costs of maintaining HIV treatment and other programs are becoming more substantial, estimated to reach $22.3 billion by 2030.
In 2017, the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) awarded $1.2 million to the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) to establish the MHCC which brings together experts in virology, immunology, drug development, neuroscience and social sciences working towards a cure.
The first round of grants awarded and announced today, on the eve of World AIDS Day, demonstrate the breadth of world-leading HIV cure research that is currently being undertaken in Melbourne.
Dr McMahon said, "We have been able to link radioactive copper to an anti-HIV antibody that can latch on to an infected cell. We then infuse a low-dose of this radioactive copper and antibody, and do a scan to detect the amount and location of the copper, and therefore identify where HIV is 'hiding' on treatment.
MHCC Community Advisory Board Chair, Craig Burnett, said the calibre of grant applications was incredible and is interested in seeing the projects come to fruition.
"As a community member living with HIV, I'm really proud to see this world-leading research coming out of my hometown of Melbourne," Mr Burnett said.
Victorian DHHS Executive Director for Community Participation, Health and Wellbeing, Peter Breadon, announced the successful grant recipients at the World AIDS Day Community Launch in Melbourne.
"Victoria is an international leader in the HIV response, and the Victorian Government's commitment to HIV cure research will help us continue this leadership. The selected recipients exemplify Victoria's partnership approach, and the central role of people living with HIV in ending this epidemic," Mr Breadon said.
Applications for the 2019 MHCC Grants will be open early next year, more information available on the Doherty Institute website.
Congratulations to Alex Huang on his PhD award!


When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and let everyone else wonder how you did it.
In this document I wrote a reflection on a book named Woods Runner. While I wrote this I had to use and highlight (that's what the red words are) dress-ups (sentence openers, VSS etc.) I liked reading the book because it was pretty interesting but it was a bit anti-climactic because it was all leading up to the climax but then the climax was too short and too quick.

It's 4AM In London And A LaFerrari Aperta Is Running Wild In The Streets
by Gabe Beita Kiser Supercars / Comments
Would you be able to sleep with a $2 million LaFerrari Aperta sitting unloved in your garage?
If you're reading this while in the office bathroom killing time before working on that spreadsheet due at 3, chances are you had to wake up at the same time as the birds. A minute earlier or a single milligram of caffeine less and you'd lose it, especially if the former of those conditions happens because of a noisy moving van passing down the street. This time, however, is one of those rare instances you'd wish this set of wheels passed by your apartment for the wakeup call.
That's because this alarm clock is one of the most rare on Earth. Only 209 will ever be built and each of them cost its chosen owner $2 million (or $7.3 if it was snagged at a dealership in Dubai). And though it's a hybrid, it also carries a raucous 6.3-liter V12 engine that's ready to stir up trouble.
This LaFerrari Aperta decides to do just that one early London morning. Money never sleeps, and this Aperta proves it by coaxing a lucky driver out of bed before the sun is up and the commuters clog every available lane, just for a loud wild ride around town. If only one of these would swing by the house every morning, life would be much more interesting and filled with motivation.

After reading of fellow bikers suffering through the polar vortex back east and a month of 45C agony in Australia's historic heat wave, I almost feel guilty today as Rachael and I bike out to Sauvie Island. You could hardly prescribe better conditions for a midwinter ride here - blue skies, pleasantly cool, almost still. Much different than the foggy day we experienced here last week. It looks like we've had our fun for awhile though - the rains return tomorrow and look like they'll stay around for awhile, perhaps bringing some ice and snow with them. Enjoy the good times while they last.
Descending from the Sauvie Island Bridge, Mount Saint Helens dominates the skyline.
North on Sauvie Island Road. This seven mile dead end spur is my favorite part of the island.
Steve Miller/GrampiesChalk up a like for cattle photo!
Jen GrumbyAll that's missing is the Singing Cycling Cowboy!
Looking north toward Rocky Point. We'll have to take our climbing legs out of storage before long and head up there.
I've not noticed before how similar horsetail looks compared to bamboo.
This must be backbreaking work. It makes me tired just looking at it.
I've been wrong about this Shel Silverstein cartoon all my life, which I remember from my childhood. I've always thought it was published in the New Yorker, but it was in Look instead.
Of course we have a plan for our spring tour. We've had it for months, letting it slowly evolve and mature from the initial rough vision. It's finally settled enough now that we're at last willing to let you in on it. We're going to Sicily (again), of course; but there's more than that - much more. So much more in fact that Sicily isn't even the main part of the tour. So it doesn't really make sense to name it Around Sicily, again when Sicily is just a fraction of the trip. Instead, we're going on the Giro di Mezzogiorno. Mezzogiorno is a/the term for southern Italy from about Naples south, which roughly defines the scope of our tour.
It should be a fine tour, combining several of our favorite roads and destinations from our first visit with parts of the island we missed before. That's one of the beauties of cycle touring - even in a five week tour of a fairly small region, you can't see everything in one pass. You can go back again and again and keep finding something new and wonderful.
At the end, we will leave Sicily from its eastern extremity by catching the short ferry to the toe of Italy's giant boot. From there we'll bike up the Calabrian coast to Tropea, where we hope to catch a boat across the strait to Stromboli for a day or two before continuing north to Scalea. Then, we'll cross the ankle (through mountainous Basilicata) east to the heel, Puglia. Then north along the Adriatic coast before crossing west (through mountainous Basilicata again) past Pompeii to Sorrento. We'll end our tour of Mezzogiorno by following the Tyrrhenian coast south past Amalfi and Pollino, ending at Maratea again. From there we'll catch the train back to Palermo for our flight home.
Andrea BrownWhat a great plan!
Jacquie GaudetLooks like a fantastic plan!
Scott AndersonTo Andrea BrownWe think so too. We'd be ready to go now, if we didn't have to wait around for dinners with friends and family and a film festival. I'm especially excited to bike through Basilicata - partly because we've never been there, but mostly because it has a reputation for gorgeous , untrafficked mountain roads and crumbling hilltop villages.
Scott AndersonTo Jacquie GaudetEspecially nice that we won't need to post our suitcases forward this time. We should bike closed loops more often.
Steve Miller/GrampiesJust snapping your attention way back to 11 days in January last year - when you were on Hawaii: My attention wandered there tonight, and I realized that I did not know the final outcome of the Spring and Summer eruptions of Kilauea. I got myself updated, and figured I would write an update for when Grampies had been there. To get the context, I used the Cycleblaze Search and looked for "Pahoa". Without thinking much, I landed on your January 6 entry, and assumed it was one of ours.
Scrolling through, I was struck by how good "my" photography seemed to have been in the old days. But waitaminute, those aren't my shots! Oh, it's that graphic genius Scott. Hmpphh.
Suzanne GibsonGreat plan, you two!
Before you disclosed that you weren't limiting yourselves to Sicily, I was about to congratulate you on choosing a smaller area to do in depth. Oops, I should have known better, that you would have something grander in mind. And you are right, there is so much you shouldn't miss in the Mezzogiorna as long as you're there. Janos and I cycled in Puglia years ago. I know you'll love it - or have you been there already as well?
Looking forward to your journal and pictures and videos very much!
Scott AndersonTo Suzanne GibsonWell, it's a pretty small area. Only about a third of one skinny country in three months - it almost qualifies as slow traveling, doesn't it? And yes, we have been to Puglia, also a long while back now. In 2005 we started in Puglia and ended up in Sardinia. Puglia is great for a spring trip - it's shown up on the planning board a dozen times since then but never quite made the final cut. It will be great to see it again.
Jen GrumbyI can only imagine how excited the GBO is for this next adventure!
Oh, the places it will see!

Discussion in 'Grow Journals' started by Prince Vegeta, Sep 4, 2018.
This is my second attempt. First run hermied out due to user error.
After the flower room is finished will use that closet as a staging area for other projects.
Also it calls for 6 tsp of bloom all the way thru till week 5 the only difference is that at that point it calls for the addition of the grow big.
But I'd rather start slowly rather than over feeding it ya dig?
I plan on doing the organic super soil but since most of my amendmants are still sitting in a closet so not doing me anygood and I'm too scared of killing my plants to attempt anything new.
Just put a dryer vent into the wall and am going to run the ventilation thru a 6 to4 inch reducer.
My dryer vent is a 4 inch so have to either reduce the ducting or cover the tube completely with the 6 inch duct. But then air would be hitting the wall and afraid of it just not working .
Will post too many pics and way too many updates.

HomeSITETaylor Evolves Again
Taylor Evolves Again
March 26, 2020 Emily Cornell SITE 0
You got nothing but time, so why not watch a documentary. People love documentaries.
Taylor Swift and Netflix did what they do and dropped a documentary about none other than Taylor Swift (saving narcissism for a different article), Taylor Swift: Miss Americana. Love or hate Taylor, she expresses (controlled) vulnerability in a way that I assume someone who doesn't like her would at the very least have compassion towards her. Talk trash all you want, but let's be real, many of us would fail miserably if we were in her position.
When you stop to think about how long Taylor Swift has been in the public eye, it makes sense that she's stumbled. Imagine the years when you were a major doofus (high school, college, early twenties, right now) and having everyone watching ready to watch you fail so they can tear you down further. She didn't use her voice for change, and honestly, it's understandable. She feared the backlash after seeing her peers, the Dixie Chicks, reprimanded for criticizing George W. Bush. Shockingly, she witnessed this backlash when she was a teenager. While we tend to forget young Swift barely crossed into her 30's last year, that doesn't change that she's fairly young. Part of youth is observation and acting on those observations, Swift did just that. She saw that being "controversial" landed you in the mouths of people you'd rather avoid. In the mix of it, the Kanye debacle occurred right before Taylor blew up (not necessarily because of Kanye, but because she transitioned from country to pop), then the video of Taylor okay-ing lyrics for "Famous," which then led to "Reputation" which then led to Taylor disappearing for a short while because she somehow found herself in the controversy she worked to avoid. Life has a funny way of playing out.
Although Taylor's stumble wasn't quite as extreme as say doing lines of coke in public venues, getting a DUI, or even assaulting anyone, her name was in our mouths. Because she's famous, we forget that she also has feelings that can be hurt by calling her "fake" or "a bitch" or "untalented." Oddly, this documentary will evoke feelings of empathy (and let's be real, we all need to exercise our empathy muscle these days) when it comes to mental health and the day-to-day nonsense most folks are dealing with.
Before you get indignant about how the struggles of a beautiful, white, cisgender, heterosexual, wealthy woman cannot possible be worth time or energy, you yourself might need to check yourself. Here's the thing about mental health struggles, they don't discriminate based on any of these identities. Taylor Swift is just as susceptible to mental health woes as any of us. While her struggles may look like an eating disorder and working through that, it doesn't invalidate it just because of her privilege. It's hard to open up about those struggles and it was great that she did. She even talked about how she works through that today. The stress of work, trying to fit into a specific image, and personal life can lead down a path no one intends for, and she talks about all of these things.
In this documentary, Swift addresses the comparison monster that trolls women across all industries. Since hers is more visible, reporters will get entertainers to verbally compare fellow entertainers – good for content, bad for relationships. Swift realized too late what they were doing, and now has changed her behavior. In case you didn't know, we all mess up and all need grace to move on and do better. Is Taylor Swift going to be perfect from here on out? No, but she's growing and that's what matters. She's grown in how she interacts with marginalized communities, she's now very vocal about elections so she's not complicit. I know folks will say she's doing it for clout, and maybe she is, but is it really that bad if she's promoting the greater good?
In the same vein of comparison, Swift acknowledges that every album she creates has to be different, more flashy. Women entertainers have a shorter shelf life than men entertainers, so she's making the most of the window of time she has. Sure, there are entertainers like Cher, Beyoncé, Dolly Parton and Janet Jackson who continue on, but they're the exceptions, not the majority. Sad to say, we live in a society that values women for their looks, and those looks better look young and hot. Swift gets this, and most women get this. Perhaps that's part of the magnetism of this documentary, along with her song writing process.
Swift brings the viewer into her world of creating the album Lover. Hot take, the album slaps. From the flop of Reputation to Lover Swift offers a peek into her world. Maybe for folks who don't care about the process, this won't seem exciting, but for folks who have followed her since she was 15 (she's been writing songs since she was a child), they can appreciate her trajectory. Lover is essentially a love letter, a somewhat different vibe than her past albums of heartbreak songs. As she says, she must adapt and change, Lover is a result of that need to be something different album to album while maintaining her singer songwriter persona.
I've said it before, Taylor Swift is a businesswoman. She knows what she's doing in creating this content and music. Sure, she created this documentary to self-promote, but isn't not like fans didn't want to better understand and know this woman who's been putting out music they've been listening to since their formative years…
