Where Joe seeks clarity about faith and practice
Pastor Joe Dorociak during Sunday worship at the Presbyterian Church of Barrington.
Joe is the husband of one incredibly beautiful and supportive wife and partner, Nancy, the father of two wonderful children and the grandfather of absolutely the world's cutest granddaughter. When Joe is not engaged in ministry activities at the church, he enjoys hanging out with Nancy, kicking back on his patio. He also enjoys practicing, singing and playing electric blues.
On some Sunday afternoons you might find him at a blues jam in Richmond, Illinois, at Red's Steakhouse and BBQ. If you make the trip to hear him play, Joe says there is only one rule, you cannot tell anyone he is the pastor of a church. He likes being just Joe or Smokin' Joe as they sometimes call him. He also says he won't hear any good jokes once people find out he is a pastor.
Joe started his faith walk as a Roman Catholic, and journeyed through agnosticism and atheism.Then after finding faith again, he test drove a variety of Christian ministries from coffee houses, to half way houses, intentional Christian communities, playing bass for a travelling contemporary Christian evangelistic music group in college. Eventually Joes says he backed into the Presbyterian tribe where he has been camped out ever since.
Joe has been on a theological experiential journey with God as well. He considers himself primarily as trying to be a faithful follower of Jesus. He would classify his current theology as ecclectic. He identifies more closely now with what some people call progressive or emergent Christianity. Which because of his faith journey, he says it allows him to be conversant with the various segments of Christianity from fundamentalists to way out on the edge progressives. Joe says that through the years he has learned to draw fewer and fewer lines in the dirt. "I am a lot more willing to see God at work in a lot more ways, in a lot more people than I could ever imagine, and have learned to affirm it and celebrate it as much as possible."

Home Politics Ezekwesili, Sowore Battles Buhari and Atiku for 2019
Ezekwesili, Sowore Battles Buhari and Atiku for 2019
By Michael Oyaide
As President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar launched their presidential campaigns Sunday and Monday respectively, two of their rivals have warned against choosing either of the two veterans.
Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress (AAC) and Oby Ezekwesili of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) described the two front runners as failed participants in Nigeria's democratic history.
According to a speech on Monday, Mr Sowore spoke while speaking to Nigerians in Diaspora at a town hall meeting and fundraiser organized by his campaign group, #TakeItBack Movement, at the Christ International Community Church, Columbus, Ohio, United States of America (USA).
Mr Sowore, who is pursuing elective office for the first time in Nigeria, said as the campaigns start officially, he would permit the opposition lead while he catches up when he returns to Nigeria.
He warned Nigerians to be cautious of the "fake promises and documents which will be used by some candidates to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians.
Mr Sowore stated, "Today in Nigeria is the beginning of the campaigns for the elections that will be happening next year…I am supposed to be back home but the truth is we are dealing with two old men if we are going to start the race is better to let them start first and when I return to Nigeria I can always catch up."
He urged Nigerians to be wise in selecting their choice of leaders, because the leaders who have put many Nigerians in pains are the same demanding for their votes.
"They did an event and launched what they called Next Level, but Nigerians are very creative people who can see through all that, they have already done a lot of cartoons which shows President Buhari Blindfolded and his followers following to fall over a cliff and they said that is the Next Level.
"They said the same thing about Atiku with a cartoon where everyone following him was holding on to their wallets, you know what that means.
"Those who are positioning themselves to lead Nigerians today, are the same people who caused Nigerians pains and sorrow that Nigeria is in today," he said.
Mr Sowore urged Nigerians "do the right thing by freeing yourselves of your oppressors who have no fresh ideas or capacity to solve Nigeria's problems which they created."
Mrs Ezekwesili also spoke on Monday but in Abuja, urging Nigerians not to resign to low standards by voting for parties like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC).
She said the mistakes of the preceding PDP administrations were being repeated by President Buhari of the APC.
Mrs Ezekwisili said, "Sometimes it is hard to believe Nigeria's greatness in the midst of our daily struggles, and as we watch our country repeat the same mistakes over and over again, it is hard to remember the contributions our country has made for freedom and peace across the African continent."
"I cannot stand it when we choose to accept mediocrity or resign ourselves to lowly standards. Nigeria can do much better. I care about Nigeria and Nigerians enough to know that the back-to-back failed leadership has held us back for far too long, and if we do not take a stand and take our country back, they would still be here in years to come, holding back our children and their children. God forbid!"
The former Minister of Education assured Nigerians she would fulfill her electoral promises, adding that a situation where elected candidates deny their promises was bad for Nigeria's growth.
"The APC campaigned in 2015 on a manifesto that propagated the doctrine of restructuring. President Buhari went along with it every step of the way because it is all about getting into power for him.
"He won and then began to renege on his promises, including on restructuring. He suddenly remembered all the reasons why 'structure is not the problem' with Nigeria.
She said, "I want to reignite belief in Nigeria's greatness by leading a government that would make clear promises to citizens and deliver on them, not like the current leadership which spent its first year in office denying all the promises it made to get into that office."
She furthered accused President Buhari of placing a lesser value on the lives of Nigerians, warning that Nigerians need to vote for a candidate who would make their well-being a priority.
The former Vice-President of World Bank explained that Nigeria's current federal structure was not working and recommended a review.
"Entire communities and even local government areas in this country have been driven into hunger and poverty, as their sources of livelihoods are completely wiped out due to insecurity. The value of a Nigerian life has been devalued and cheapened," she stated.
She said, "The structure of a federation is its skeleton. A functional structure gives shape, support, and aids the movement of the federation. No wonder Nigeria is handicapped under this dysfunctional structure."
She recalled that the APC before the last elections agreed on the need to restructure the federation and devolve more powers to the regions and states. She added.

The actress stars alongside her sister, Lola Kirke, in the drama.
Romance is messy; sibling relationships can be too.
In "Untogether," Jemima Kirke plays a successful author who's working her way through recovery from addiction all while finding herself mixed up in the romantic happenings of her younger sister's affair.
In the drama, out Friday, Kirke appears alongside her biological sister Lola, ("Mozart in the Jungle"), adding another level of complexity to an already intense plot.
"I haven't seen a movie that has a perfect relationship in it and this is no different," Kirke says.
Below, the former "Girls" actress, a Brooklyn resident, delves into the mind of her character who's on her search to find a meaningful connection — with whomever she can.
"Untogether" isn't a typical love story by any stretch. What attracted you to the role?
I mean, [director Emma Forrest] is such a good writer and the details of the narrative and the characters that she laid out were really specific. I felt that they felt fun to work with. We've got a writer who dresses up in costume every day, a sister who's a facialist who's in love with a rabbi. These were things you could only really write as they were, they're so true, just so odd. And there's nothing really general about this, which I guess is what you're saying, that this was not a generic love story. And then no one in this story is a generic person, or prototype, in ethics or any stretch.
Your character clearly does not have it all together — but she's not supposed to.
Yeah, Andrea was successful. She had a book and then got clean and couldn't write another one. Now she's trying to figure out how to keep her life magical, pretend and, yeah, ultimately she does.
What was it like working alongside your sister, while portraying sisters?
It was nice. It's nice to have someone on set who you're friends with or who you're close with. But as far as her being my sister, in terms of work, it doesn't really make a difference because I look at her and she's my sister, you know, of course that comes out inherently, but I'm not really conscious of it. Although there is that relationship, we still have a job to do. I don't know if the fact that we are sisters made it feel more like we were sisters.
Following the story's unconventional path, should we not expect a happy ending?
I like to think that the couples don't stay together, because I don't think they're very well matched for each other. I think what we have is a good story, a good love story. But I don't think that these are like marriage material [relationship].
If you go: "Untogether" opens at Village East Cinemas on Second Avenue, Friday.

Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
Photo by: lucagorlero , Creative Commons
Sigiriya which means Lion's rock, is an ancient fortress made of rock in the Matale district of Sri Lanka. The fortress is surrounded by the remains of an extensive network of gardens and other structures.
The place is part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites and is preserved due to its significance in illustrating architecture and culture of the civilization during the time it was built.
The fortress was built around the time of King Kassapa I, between AD477-AD495. For its age, it still features the creativity of its builders by showing that the palace could withstand the test of time.
The fortress was meticulously designed and built. The site plan allowed the use of the natural geometrical forms of its surroundings to be integrated in symmetric and asymmetric design utilized by the builders.
The fortress has some of the first landscaped gardens in the world of that time. There are three basic types of gardens in the surrounding area which are the water gardens, the boulder gardens, and the terraced gardens.
The water gardens contain three principal gardens. The first garden is an island that is connected to the main precinct by four causeways. Each causeway has a gateway connected at its head. The second garden contains two long deep pools. The third garden can be found at a higher place than the other two. It contains an octagonal pool with a podium on the corner.
The boulder gardens contain boulders that line a pathway. These boulders were used as building materials or foundation of a structure perched on top of the boulders. One such structure is the audience hall of the king.
The terraced gardens can be found on a hill at the base of the Sigiriya rock. It was formed on the side of the hill through a series of terraces.

Can Biden's Administration Light Up the POTX ETF?
Ben Hernandez November 24, 2020
The cannabis industry has seen a nice uptick following the election. With a Biden administration in place, supportive policies for cannabis use could be a boon for ETFs like the Global X Cannabis ETF (POTX).
POTX seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Cannabis Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the underlying index and in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") based on the securities in the underlying index.
The underlying index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are active in the cannabis industry (collectively, " Cannabis Companies"), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the underlying index ("index provider"). Overall, POTX gives investors access to:
High Growth Potential: POTX enables investors to access a basket of high growth potential companies from across the cannabis industry.
An Unconstrained Approach: POTX's composition transcends classic sector, industry, and geographic classifications by tracking an emerging theme.
ETF Efficiency: In a single trade, POTX delivers targeted access to dozens of companies with significant exposure to the cannabis theme.
Where is the Cannabis Industry Headed?
"While the future is certainly unknown and the policies announced by the Biden Administration are not terribly dissimilar from that of the Trump Administration, due to the social justice movement and the need to increase economic activity, it is likely that the Biden Administration will move forward with new policies that loosen things at the federal level for the industrial hemp and the marijuana sectors of the cannabis industry," Robert Hoban wrote in Forbes. "Even if it's slight movement, the industry will respond and will continue to thrive as an essential business during, and after, this pandemic."
Whatever happens, it should be an interesting four years for the cannabis industry.
"The dynamics in the cannabis sector are really extraordinary," said Tim Seymour, founder and chief investment officer of Seymour Asset Management on CNBC's "ETF Edge". "We saw five new states vote through either adult or medical markets. The top-line growth story is 30-40%. … This is CPG, this is very sophisticated and the country's in favor."
"People may or may not believe in what's going on in the cannabis story, but … this is a national issue," Seymour said. "More importantly, it's a very sophisticated consumer product story and active management and being thematic in this space is what we do and it's working."

Home ANS Reports	Catalyst West Draws Thousands of Leaders to Orange County March 3-4
Catalyst West Draws Thousands of Leaders to Orange County March 3-4
by Dan Wooding March 9, 2016
written by Dan Wooding March 9, 2016
Leaders Invited to Awaken the Wonder in their Lives
By Dan Wooding, Founder of ASSIST News Service
IRVINE, CA (ANS — March 9, 2016)— More than 3,000 leaders who love the Church gathered in Orange County. California, March 3-4 for the 8th annual Catalyst West event — two days of intense, practical and courageous teaching that inspires change among today's society.
According to a news release, the event was held at Mariner's Church Irvine located at 5001 Newport Coast Dr.
Boasting a variety of fresh voices and thought leaders, this year's event engaged and inspired leaders to think beyond the bounds of ordinary existence and to awaken wonder in their lives and the world around them.
This year's theme, Awaken the Wonder, challenged leaders to view their responsibilities in a way that creates a lens through which others can see their current reality while carrying a vision for the future. Just as the wonder of the world points to God and His presence in our lives, so too should the actions of leaders bridge the gap between what is and the dream of what could be.
"Catalyst is an event that everyone can walk away from with valuable insight into the world around them," said Tyler Reagin, Executive Director. "We hope people leave Catalyst events with a vision for the impact they can have anywhere. Wonder opens our eyes to the potential we fail to see when looking through the lens of ordinary."
Catalyst is recognized as one of the largest gatherings of Christian leaders in America and brings together groups and individuals from nearly all denominations and more than 5,000 churches and faith-based organizations across America.
Attendees and others can stay engaged through the Catalyst App, which is available for download on iTunes or Google Play. As a primary source of content for leaders who love the Church, the Catalyst App includes interactive discussions, informative updates and fun activities to enhance the live event experiences. It will have exclusive updates and access to content from Catalyst 365 days a year.
This year, an eclectic mix of visionaries, leadership experts and passionate young leaders took to the Catalyst stage for Catalyst West. These dynamic voices encourage leaders to open their eyes to wonder, risk the monumental tasks and endeavor toward lasting change.
Speakers at Catalyst West Coast included: Senior Pastor of North Point Ministries and author of "Deep and Wide," Andy Stanley; Pastor of Passion City Church and Lead Visionary for the Passion Movement, Louie Giglio; Officer at The Salvation Army and Author of "A Beautiful Mess," Danielle Strickland; best-selling author and founder of StoryLine, Donald Miller ; founder of Mosaic and author of "The Artisan Soul," Erwin McManus; Pastor of Zoe Church and Author of "Do You See What I See," Chad Veach; award-winning Hip-Hop recording artist and author of "The Good Life," Trip Lee ; Chief Evangelist of Canva and author of "The Art of the Start 2.0" and "The Art of Social Media," Guy Kawasaki; founder and CEO of charity: water, Scott and Viktoria Harrison; Founder of Skip1.org and Author of "Love, Skip, Jump," Shelene Bryan ; Author of "Wonderstruck" and "Fight Back With Joy," Margaret Feinberg ; Master Illusionist and Storyteller, Harris III; and renowned photographer and founder of Help Portrait and See University, Jeremy Cowart. Musical guests included renowned worship artists Jesus Culture and Mosaic Worship.

Anyone wishing to learn more can talk to a Catalyst Concierge at 888.334.6569, and people can engage with Catalyst via Facebook, Twitter, the Catalyst blog and by tuning into the Catalyst podcast.
About Catalyst:
Formed in 1999 as a Next Generation Leaders Conference by Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner, John Maxwell, Lanny Donoho and several young leaders, Catalyst exists as an opportunity to pour into leaders who love the Church. Since its inception, more than 100,000 leaders have connected with each other and the Catalyst movement through events, resources, online community and social media.

Recognising Heritage
Thanks to Michael from Lancaster Gate for highlighting this topic.
UNESCO's world heritage center lists 851 properties as 'forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value" – 184 countries have successfully listed properties, unfortunately Singapore is not one of them.
Celebrating heritage can be demanding. My quick Google search identified 2 bodies in Singapore that could be focal points for driving nominations:
1. The Singapore Heritage Society – "a non-profit, non-government organization and registered charity. The Society is dedicated to the preservation, transmission and promotion of Singapore's history, heritage and identity. The Society aims to promote active interest in the cultural life and history of Singapore and to initiate action on research, evaluation, documentation, publication, collection, display, and preservation and restoration of skills and items of historical interest. "
2. National Heritage Board champions the development of a vibrant cultural and heritage sector in Singapore by making heritage enriching, fun and accessible to all through exciting events that engage diverse audiences. The board also promotes public awareness and appreciation of heritage through educational, outreach and community programs.
Perhaps there is possibility of Singapore being represented in the collection of world heritage sites sometime soon.

My Dad's Suicide Isn't 'Cool': Frances Cobain to Lana Del Rey
Beth Arky
When Kurt Cobain killed himself in 1994, daughter Frances Bean Cobain was just a baby. So when she read an interview in The Guardian in which singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey seemed to be glorifying the early ends of the Nirvana frontman and singer Amy Winehouse—and then shared her own death wish—Cobain took to Twitter urging her not to glamorize them.
"I wish I was dead already," Del Rey is quoted as saying. Cobain isn't having it. "The death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize," she wrote. "I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's 'cool.'"
"Well, it's f–king not. Embrace life, because you only get one life. The ppl u mentioned wasted that life. Don't be 1 of those ppl."
Both Cobain and Winehouse died at 27, from suicide and alcohol poisoning, respectively—the same age as Del Rey.
While The Daily Beast may feel Del Ray's statements are merely part of a ploy to sell her new album, Ultraviolence, and Rolling Stone reports that she expressed regret over the interview and claimed to have been misquoted, the damage may already be done. There are plenty of teens who pay attention to what high-profile entertainers say and are young enough to confuse marketing with meaning.
We hope Cobain's strong response drowns out Del Rey's casual fatalism, and that young people open their ears to the real effects of suicide and drug abuse andunderstand there is no glory in dying young.

An excellent collection, with only a couple of weaker contributions. A couple are more fantasy than steampunk, but there is high quality writing throughout and a couple of stories that linger (Youmans, Lanagan and Lake) for some time.

The stories are almost without exception an excellent introduction to the genre, covering a wide spread and with something for most readers. If your kids are past the Harry Potter stage, then give them this hefty volume to help them take a step (or rather, a giant leap) in the right direction.

I love board books. Reason number one being that they're short, lol. I don't always have time to read to my kids, but I want to and when they ask, I hate to tell them no. So, I pick up a board book and both our needs get met.
This book is by Sandra Boynton and is called "Happy Birthday, Little Pookie." It is about a little pig who wakes his parents up extremely early because he's excited that it is his birthday. Mom and dad are exhausted, but try to make it the best day ever. It rhymes, too, which makes it easier to keep the kids' attention. After I finished reading it, they both asked me to read it again. And of course, I can totally relate to being awakened early because of an excited child.
Happy Birthday, Little Pookie is available for sale May 25!!!

«Smalltown Boy» (en castellano: 'Chico de pueblito') es el primer sencillo originalmente de la banda británica Bronski Beat, publicado en junio de 1984. También fue incluido posteriormente en su primer álbum de estudio, The Age of Consent, publicado en diciembre del mismo año.

La canción es un popular himno entre el colectivo de personas LGBT y tuvo un amplio éxito comercial, en particular en Europa, pues alcanzó el número 3 en las listas británicas, el número 1 en los Países Bajos e Italia y llegó al Top 10 en Francia y Suiza.

Logró entrar en el Top 10 en Australia y Canadá. En los Estados Unidos tuvo un éxito relativamente discreto, al alcanzar solo el número 48 en el Billboard Hot 100, aunque alcanzó el número 1 en el Billboard Hot Dance.

El tema ha sido versionado a través de los años por una gran cantidad de bandas y artistas, en diversos géneros y estilos musicales.

Letra y significado
Smalltown Boy aborda temas clave en la cultura LGBT de la década de los 80. Se ocupa del rechazo familiar hacia un chico por ser homosexual y la homofobia en la sociedad británica. También se refiere a la soledad, el acoso y la intimidación a través del rechazo social y familiar.

El estribillo que se escucha a lo largo de la canción hace referencia a lo indicado:

{{Cita|
"Mamá nunca va a entender por qué tuviste que irte Pero las respuestas que buscas nunca serán encontradas en casa El amor que necesitas nunca será encontrado en casaHuir, alejarse, huir, alejarse, huir"}}

 Vídeo musical
Aunque el vídeo apenas tuvo cierta difusión en las cadenas televisivas musicales de la época (sin tener un impacto masivo), tampoco estuvo exento de generar alguna polémica entre los sectores más conservadores.

El personaje principal del vídeo es interpretado por el propio cantante de Bronski Beat, Jimmy Somerville, con su característica voz de falsete, como el adolescente que ha experimentado los problemas descritos en la letra de la canción.

En el comienzo del vídeo, se le viajando en tren, contemplando su infancia y los acontecimientos que han provocado que abandonara la casa de sus padres. En una piscina de su pueblo, junto con sus amigos (interpretados por los dos restantes miembros de Bronski Beat, Steve Bronski y Larry Steinbachek) se atreve a charlar con un hombre desconocido que le causó gran atracción. Sin embargo, este se percata de la situación y se nota incómodo con sus miradas. Como resultado de ello, es atacado más tarde por la 'banda' de ese hombre en un callejón por homofobia y un oficial de policía (interpretado por Colin Bell, en ese momento director de mercadotecnia de London Records), le trae de vuelta a su casa.

Se supone que los padres del protagonista conocen su homosexualidad por primera vez a través de este incidente y se sorprenden, pero solo el padre parece no aceptarlo, por lo que le da dinero para que se marche. El chico entonces toma un tren a Londres, donde se reencuentra con sus amigos. El vídeo termina con sus amigos uniéndose a él.

En definitiva, al ser rechazado por la familia y la sociedad de su pueblo natal, esto le hace viajar al 'chico' desde una 'ciudad pequeña' (Smalltown Boy'') a la gran capital, la ciudad de Londres.

"I never thought of him as an ideologue," Lindsay A. Connor, who was also on Law Review with Roberts, wrote in an e-mail. But Connor said that he has not seen Roberts in more than 25 years and does not know how Roberts has changed.
Other colleagues from the Law Review, however, remembered Roberts as clearly on the conservative side of the spectrum.
After graduating from HLS, Roberts headed inside the beltway. He clerked for William H. Rehnquist, who was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court at the time. Following his clerkship, Roberts went on to work in the offices of the Attorney General and the White House Counsel. He also served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General under Kenneth W. Starr in the first Bush Administration.
In between stints with the government, Roberts worked at the law firm Hogan & Hartson, where he established himself as a top appellate lawyer with an impressive record—he has argued a total of 39 cases before the Supreme Court, winning 25 of them.
Roberts' record in Washington impressed President George W. Bush, who nominated him to the D.C. Circuit Court in January 2003—Roberts' third nomination to the Court. (Both Bushes had nominated him once before, though those nods had stalled before Roberts could be brought for a vote.) Roberts was confirmed 4 months later.
The confirmation process produced a wealth of glowing recommendations. He received the rating of "Well Qualified" without reservation from the American Bar Association, the highest possible mark for a jurist.
On the D.C. Circuit, Roberts has maintained his conservative reputation, although he has yet to weigh in on many of the divisive issues that come before the Supreme Court.
Many in Washington speculate that Roberts may be a good choice if Bush wants to avoid a confirmation fight. The New York Times reported last week that members of both parties raised Roberts' name in a favorable light.

Dr. Phillips High's swim, water polo coach gets 500th win
Leo Ramirez, a Panther alum, celebrated the milestone Sept. 1 in the Panthers' swim meet against Horizon and Cypress Creek.
by: Chris Martucci Sports Editor
To say Leo Leon Ramirez is a passionate Dr. Phillips Panther is a bit of an understatement.
Ever since he and his family immigrated to Orlando from Sao Paolo, Brazil, when he was 12 — and he later attended Dr. Phillips High School — he has bled the navy and Carolina blue with every fiber of his being.
Leon Ramirez graduated in 1997 from DP, where he was a swimmer and played water polo. He was part of the men's swim team's 1995 state championship team, which was not expected to win. Leon Ramirez also held the school record in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:43.22.
After graduating from the University of Florida upon transferring from the University of Massachusetts, he came back to DP to work as an assistant under former head coach Bruce Follensbee. Ramirez became the head water polo coach in 2006. In 2017, he added swimming and diving to his duties.
On Sept. 1, Leon Ramirez celebrated his 500th victory as a head coach for both water polo and swimming combined in the Panthers' swim meet against Horizon and Cypress Creek. That makes him the leader in career victories at DP.
"It means I'm still coaching well," Leon Ramirez said. "I'm passionate for both sports, so it was a pretty cool feeling. It made me feel old, to be honest."
When it comes to training, Leon Ramirez said he likes to train for sprinting, because high school swimming mainly consists of shorter events and also because the majority of his team are water polo players who swim on the side. Currently, he only has two swimmers who swim year-round.
"It's 95% water polo, 5% club swimmers now," Leon Ramirez said. "That's a change from when I started where it was 95% club swimmers and 5% water polo."
However, he adjusts to fit the swimmer's needs. Leon Ramirez also believes in quality of yardage versus quantity of yardage because of the short season, as well as the fact most of his swimmers don't train club.
Already, that philosophy has paid off. In his first year, DP won districts and sent a relay to the state championship for the first time in at least seven years. On the water polo side, he took the Panthers to the state championship game in 2020. Although they lost, it was the result of many years of trying.
"We'd be in the Final Four but could never quite get through to the championship," Leon Ramirez said. "To finally do that was an amazing feeling. We're looking to get back and win this season."
Although he is now DP's all-time leader in career victories, Leon Ramirez never forgets the lessons he learned while under Follensbee's tutelage. One of those was to never take any dual meets for granted.
"Your job is to win dual meets, so every meet matters," Leon Ramirez said. "He'd always research the teams we'd be going against and put a lineup together accordingly. That's what I try to do, too, and so far, it has worked."
Despite the records, the trophies and the milestones, Leon Ramirez said the relationships he has formed with athletes and their families are the crowning achievements of his career.
"I've had former athletes and parents come up to me and tell me that I had an impact on them when they competed under me," Leon Ramirez said. "At the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Having an impact on young people. It makes me feel proud to do what I do."

French Magazine Charlie Hebdo Does It Again & The UK Is Not Happy About It
French magazine Charlie Hebdo sparked large-scale criticism after publishing a cartoon on its front cover in which Queen Elizabeth II is depicted kneeling on Meghan Markle's neck.
The cartoon, which describes itself as a satirical comic, mimics the last moments of George Floyd, a black American who died last year after a white police officer kneeled on his neck.
Floyd's death sparked Black Lives Matter protests in the US and across the globe.
The cover of Charlie Hebdo follows a television interview where Markle accused members of the British royal family of making racist comments about the skin color of her then-unborn child.
Markle has a Black mother and a white father.
The cover's caption read: "Why Meghan left Buckingham."
Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, is shown lying on the ground as the queen is kneeling on her neck, saying: "Because I couldn't breathe anymore"
The magazine's cover was one of the most mentioned topics on social media during the weekend and was mostly criticized.
"#CharlieHebdo, this is wrong on every level. The Queen as #GeorgeFloyd's murderer crushing Meghan's neck? #Meghan saying she's unable to breathe?," Halime Begum, CEO of Runnymede Trust, a UK-based racial equality think tank, wrote on Twitter. "This doesn't push boundaries, make anyone laugh or challenge #racism. It demeans the issues & causes offence, across the board."
The Black and Asian Lawyers For Justice tweeted that the cover was "outrageous, disgusting, fascistic racism," and accused the magazine of using Floyd's trauma for profit.
Tabloids react
The Daily Express shared the story with readers: "Disgust as Charlie Hebdo depicts Queen kneeling on Meghan Markle's neck like George Floyd."
The Sun used the headline, 'DISGUSTING,' for the same story.
"Charlie Hebdo: Fury at the cover of Queen knelt on Meghan's neck in George Floyd 'parody'," was the title from The Mirror.
Further reaction
Charlie Hebdo repeatedly came under fire in the past for publishing offensive caricatures of Prophet Muhammed, sparking large protests in Muslim-majority countries.
Twelve cartoonists and employees were killed by a group of terrorists in 2015 after the magazine republished the prophet's cartoons, which were first circulated in 2005 by the Danish newspaper, Jylland-Posten.
In 2020, the magazine republished the controversial cartoons and a French teacher was killed in a terror attack after showing them to his students.
The French government defends the magazine's often provoking publication, saying that freedom of expression cannot be hindered.
After the latest cover, Twitter users compared previous reactions to new ones.
"Now English people will feel the pain of Muslims, Charlie Hebdo is making fun of Queen in a very bad manner," one user wrote.
"Charlie Hebdo was extremely rude about the Prophet Mohammed and many on the right in the UK applauded. Now, Charlie Hebdo is extremely rude about the Queen. What will the same people on the right in the UK say now, I wonder?," wrote another user.

Anadolu Agency (Turkish: Anadolu Ajansı is a state-run news agency headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. It was founded in 1920 during the Turkish War of Independence. Journalist Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu and writer Halide Edip, fleeing the occupied capital, met in Geyve and concluded that a new Turkish press agency was needed. The agency was officially launched on April 6, 1920, 17 days before the Turkish Grand National Assembly convened for the first time. It announced the first legislation passed by the Assembly, which established the Republic of Turkey.


The New York Mets have had seven walk-off grand slams in franchise history, one was by Tim Harkness (Montreal, Que.) who later managed the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Intercounty League.
1963: On Wednesday June 26th 1963, Tim Harkness hit the first walk off grand slam HR in Mets history. The game was in the 14th inning at the old Polo Grounds in New York. Galen Cisco had just gave up a two run inside the Park HR to the Chicago Cubs future Hall of Famer; Billy Williams. With the Mets now down 6-4 in the home 14th, Jim Hickman & Ron Hunt both singled, but Hickman was thrown out trying to go to third base.
Next the wacky Jimmy Piersall drew a walk but slugger Frank Thomas flew out for the second out. Pitcher Jim Brewer was brought in & gave up a walk to Sammy Taylor to load them up. Harkness stepped in & hit a HR down the right field line, to win the game.
It was Harkness' 7th HR of the year & thrilled who ever was left of the 8,183 fans in attendance. Tim Harkness would only play two seasons with the Mets (four in the majors). In 1963 he saw the most playing time (123 games) batting just .211 with 10 HRs & 41 RBIs.
1963: Six weeks later, on Friday night Aug. 9th 1963, Jim Hickman hit the second walk off Mets grand slam. The game was in the Polo Grounds against the Chicago Cubs & tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 9th. The Cubs'; Paul Toth was still on the mound after making the start, nine innings earlier. With one out Jim Hicks singled, Cho Cho Coleman struckout & the Mets were down to the last out. But Al Moran doubled, putting two men on. Cubs manager Bob Kennedy brought in Lindy McDaniel to close it out.
The Cubs remembered what Tim Harkness had done to them a little over six weeks ago & weren't going to let it happen again. They gave him a free pass to first, bringing up Hickman with the bases loaded. Hickman blasted the grand slam & the Mets had a 7-3 win for the 11,566 fans in attendance. Jim Hickman led the Mets in HRs in 1963 with 17 & was second in RBIs with 51 batting just .229.


It is with our greatest sorrow and everlasting love that we announce the passage to heaven of our beloved mother, Mary Hildebrandt of Sparwood, British Columbia. She was a loving mother, wife, grandma, great grandma, sister and friend whom was called to be with the Lord on August 12, 2011 from the Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie, BC at the age of 83 years.
Our mom was born on July 10, 1928 in Morse, Saskatchewan to proud parents Isaac and Mary Dyck. She was raised with an appreciation for family, a strong work ethic and to love our Lord, Jesus Christ. As she blossomed into a lovely young lady, she captured the heart of a fine young man, Peter Hildebrandt, and in 1947 in Brooks, AB they pledged their love for one another in holy matrimony. In 1960, they moved to Michel, BC. They were blessed with twelve children and mom devoted her entire life to our happiness and well being. She also loved to cook, play cribbage and solve jig-saw puzzles. Her immense faith in our Lord was an inspiration to us all as was her dedication to her church. She cherished her family and our love for her shall remain eternal.
"Let the little children come to me! Never send them away!
She leaves to mourn her passing and celebrate her life her 11 children: Bob (Darlene), Wilma, Jim (Susan), Stan, Caroline (Tom), Dennis (Nancy), Debbie (Peter), Nancy (Chris), Brenda (Dale), Gary (Ruby) and Kevin (Dawn); her 21 grandchildren: Kelly, Barry, Jeniffer, Pam, Heidi, Carrie, Peter, Allison, Holly, David, Angie, Petra, Athena, Abigail, Whitney, Courtney, Jessica, Amber, Dana, Jason and Gracie; her 33 great grandchildren: Nickolas, Danielle, Shelby, Payton, Jimmy, Alyssa, Matthew, Kaylie, Zackary, Rebecca, Brayden, Brandon, Austin, Jade, Triston, Sean, Brenna, Quinn, Berett, Ella, Jordon, Abria, Emma, Irelynn, Jackson, Devon, Kohen, Eva, Tyrone, Destiny and Lily; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
She was predeceased by her loving husband, Peter Hildebrandt; her parents, Isaac and Mary; her daughter, Grace Hildebrandt; and her great grandchildren, Joey Walsh and Angel Flynn.
The funeral service honouring her life was held on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 2:00 pm at the Sparwood Fellowship Baptist Church with Pastor Ron Rutley officiating.

Employees from many leading companies are benefiting from maturing Save As You Earn (SAYE) share schemes this year, but what can they do to make sure that these potentially life changing amounts aren't eroded by Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?
WEALTH at work works with many employers to offer financial education to their employees to help them understand the opportunities available to them.
Jonathan Watts-Lay, director, WEALTH at work, said: "There are a few key things that share scheme participants should consider to protect their windfall from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and manage it in the most tax-efficient way. Firstly, the CGT liability can often be split over two consecutive tax years, meaning that £22,600rather than £11,300 of gains could be sheltered from CGT. Don't forget transfers to a spouse or civil partner are exempt from CGT and by doing so, you can make use of their partner's CGT allowance. It should be noted that the transfer to a spouse or civil partner should be considered as an outright gift. Also, whilst deferring the exercise of the option, the value of the shares can of course fall as well as rise and is therefore at market risk during this period.
"Employees can also carry out an 'in specie' transfer into an ISA within 90 days of exercising the option and any gain on the shares transferred is exempt from CGT. Many high street ISA providers can't facilitate an in specie transfer so employees would need to use a workplace ISA, or a specialist provider.
"Due to the timing of many SAYE scheme maturities, it may be possible to reduce a potential CGT liability further by transferring shares to an ISA over two consecutive tax years, so long as the 90 day period straddles the tax year end. This would potentially allow up to £40,000 of an individual's share scheme capital to be invested into a tax efficient ISA wrapper.
"Employees who want to cash in their shares can mitigate CGT by transferring shares into an ISA before selling them and withdrawing the money. However, it is important to for employees to note that for the brief time they hold the shares, they are exposed to market risk and there will also be ISA provider charges to consider.
"Employees also may want to consider diversifying their shares to a broader spread of investments as each scheme matures as having all your eggs in one basket is considered a high risk approach. It is often advisable to spread investments as widely as possible and thereby reduce the risk of being exposed to the movements in price of just one company.


Taema and Tila are conjoined twins, they were born in the Hearth, an isolated cult on the outskirts of San Fransisco that banned modern medicine and technology. The twins shared everything including a heart, a heart that wasn't strong enough to support both of them. Their only hope of survival was to escape and get the surgery they so desperately needed. Now, assimilated into modern society Taema is waiting for Tila to join her for dinner but she arrives at her house covered in someone else's blood. Tila is arrested for murder, the first committed by a civilian in decades.
This is where the novel starts and immediately we're thrust into this dystopian/sci-fi version of San Fransisco with very little information. Similarly to most dystopian/sci-fi there is a lot of strange slang used for items in this world. It's easy enough to figure out the purpose of them but initially it was somewhat confusing and the reason for them is never explained.
In this new world every person is fitted with a VeriChip which acts like passport and bankcard all in one, everyone has ocular and auditory implants (think permanent google glasses and headphones) and flesh parlours offer the most cutting edge plastic surgery that everyone appears young and their faces unnaturally symmetrical.
The main crux of the story I enjoyed. I liked learning about how Zeal is used as a way to relieve stress and live out dreams. I loved that the crime syndicate were attempting to replace Zeal with a version that gave them the ability to manipulate people. In fact I really liked all the elements that this story had but for some reason I was left wanting a little bit more. The story seemed to wrap up in the last 60 pages when the build up took around 300 and how it wrapped up seemed really convenient.
I really loved how Tila gave us the back story of the twins and Taema was the protagonist in the present. That being said as much as I liked them as characters I felt like we didn't really see much development to them throughout the novel.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book but I just felt like it fell a little flat for me. I gave it 3/5 for the concept and also the creation that went into the world. If we'd seen more sides to the twins then it definitely would've had a higher rating.

Q: Explode map type column that has another map type inside in spark My dataset schema looks like this
root
 |-- col1: string (nullable = false)
 |-- col2: string (nullable = false)
 |-- col3: timestamp (nullable = false)
 |-- col4: map (nullable = false)
 |    |-- key: string
 |    |-- value: map (valueContainsNull = true)
 |    |    |-- key: integer
 |    |    |-- value: long (valueContainsNull = true)

col4 is a map type, however, inside it, there's another map.
I can use explode(col4) to get
root
 |-- col1: string (nullable = false)
 |-- col2: string (nullable = false)
 |-- col3: timestamp (nullable = false)
 |-- key: string (nullable = false)
 |-- value: map (nullable = true)
 |    |-- key: integer
 |    |-- value: long (valueContainsNull = true)

How am I supposed to explode the value column now?
A stupid way would be renaming the key column, and explode the value column again... but I'm trying to do it in a nice way.

A: You need to define a udf function to flatten the Map col4 column as
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
def flatNestedMap = udf((maps: Map[String,Map[Int, Long]])=> maps.flatMap(x => x._2.map(y => (x._1, y._1, y._2))).toArray)

Then you can just use one explode on the column returned by udf function and then select the necessary columns
df.withColumn("col4", explode(flatNestedMap(col("col4"))))
    .select(col("col1"), col("col2"), col("col3"), col("col4._1").as("outerKey"), col("col4._2").as("innerKey"), col("col4._3").as("innerValue"))

Thats it. I hope the answer is helpful

20 years after 16-year-old Warren Cave is incarcerated for the murder of Chuck Burnham, a retrial for Cave brings about new evidence involving the inconsistent testimony of Chuck's daughter Lanie. Poppy Parnell, a podcaster who rose to fame for her coverage on the trial, is a witness and the judge files against the appeal because of Lanie's fragile state following her father's murder. This however brings about a sense of worry and guilt for Poppy and prompts her to retell the events through her podcasts. Poppy soon decides on visiting Warren through his cancer-ridden mother and Lanie who refuses to participate. However, Warren's mother Melanie agrees on letting Poppy visit her son, but the meeting ends with Poppy leaving after Warren reveals numerous Nazi tattoos. Later, Poppy revisits Warren and believes he was changed by the system before revealing about his mother's cancer diagnosis and Cave reveals he used to infiltrate the Burnham's household for pills. A flashback shows Warren sneaking in for pills but after hearing a noise, left the house which could be what Lanie saw that night.
