Christian Fiction Books Reviews
Don't Hide from This Military Thriller
Tim Laitinen Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
2012 2 Jul
Authors: Jeff Struecker and Alton Gansky
Title: Hide and Seek
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
It's been said that the Army does more things before breakfast than the rest of us do all day.
In the case of Jeff Struecker and Alton Gansky's latest novel, so much happens in less than 24 hours that it takes 369 pages to tell it all. But don't worry—just like the time did for their secret Army search and rescue team, the pages will fly by. Along with the bullets.
Bullets, yes, and a plot loaded with espionage, danger, and heroics. Set in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, Hide and Seek is exactly what a fictional pair of politically connected women and an intrepid Special Operations team play, only theirs is no game.
Just like in real life, America's war on terrorism is going badly in Afghanistan. Our forces are renting space at an airport in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, from which strikes into Taliban territory are being launched. Russia and China are offering billions of dollars to the economically beleaguered country to force the Americans out, an offer that resonates among many anti-American Kyrgyzs. United States officials know our welcome in the country is hanging by the thinnest of threads, and are trying to tread lightly.
Their efforts are only compromised further when a haphazard coup erupts in Bishkek. Some gristly video footage of a botched kidnapping is broadcast, showing one of our heroines—an American officer—fleeing the scene with the daughter of Kyrgyzstan's embattled president. Although having strict orders to stay out of the country's political turmoil, American Army officials cannot risk either of these women falling into the wrong hands. So an intrepid Master Sergeant is conscripted to covertly lead his team into the perilous streets of Bishkek and find them.
Co-author Struecker may be a Baptist pastor today, but he's also a retired Army Major, and the credibility his experience lends to this story makes what borders on a marginal Hollywood script come to life. There's just enough human frailty to make this team's exploits believable, and just enough humorous banter to lighten what would otherwise be a constant barrage of mayhem, thugs, and deceit.
Oh—and the Master Sergeant's wife? Pregnant. With twins. She's living stateside, working as a consultant to the military. It's all part of our modern Army. If you're not in the military, this book may be an eye-opening opportunity for learning about the type of warriors our country employs, people who are expected to bounce between professional and family roles like civilians do in our workaday world.
Things get a bit far-fetched toward the end of Struecker and Gansky's storyline, when they throw some biochemical weaponry into the mix. It's hard to believe an American Special Ops team would intentionally expose an entire city to possibly imminent peril by attacking an unfamiliar building housing an unknown substance whose lethality is also unknown. Hopefully, that's not something the Army considers doing on a regular basis.
Overall, however, Hide and Seek provides a plausible insider's peek into the ways believers who serve in our military put their lives on the line for our country. It's easy to even imagine parts of this narrative being lifted from true events during Struecker's Army career. At least we'd like to think our men—and women—in uniform are this brave and competent.
If you or someone you know serves in our armed forces, this book might introduce good talking points about what real life in the military looks like. And if it looks anything like Hide and Seek, no wonder our soldiers think they're underpaid.

We are so thrilled to announce the addition of two new artists to the NEWTW!ST family, Yasuko Azuma and Chinchar/Maloney! With an appreciation for the perfectly imperfect and influenced by the beauty of the natural world, Yasuko Azuma and Marian Maloney, Colin Chinchar, and Lorien Chinchar-Petitt of Chinchar/Maloney are inspired to create timeless keepsakes, each telling a story unique to its wearer.
Taking inspiration from her childhood in Japan, Yasuko Azuma is known for her sparkling textures that glimmer like the air on an icy cold day.
"I'm very nostalgic about my childhood, growing up in Japan and playing in my grandmother's garden," explains Yasuko. "I can recreate in my mind, the botanicals, the rocks, the hanging lanterns and the way in which the branches seemed to billow and flow." It is from these memories that Yasuko draws inspiration to create beautiful, wearable works of art.
Elegantly feminine and intricately detailed, she prefers "not to follow trends but to create styles that are enduring, versatile and collectible. I also believe in jewelry that is more subdued with unexpected surprises and details rather than bold diamond statement looks." It is the subtle sparkle of her exquisite designs that draws us near.
We couldn't be more excited to now be carrying her work at NEWTW!ST. Explore more from her stunning collection, here.
Chinchar/Maloney draws inspiration from the unique, individual beauty of rustic diamonds. Their rings are handcrafted in their Portland, OR studio using untreated, conflict-free, natural diamonds, each with their own color and one-of-a-kind characteristics……an exquisite embrace of the imperfect.
Their studio is a small collective of individuals who share the common belief that jewelry should be sustainable, ethical, and timeless.
In the inclusions of a diamond lies personality, individuality, and life. Chinchar/Maloney is committed to honoring the beauty of these imperfections, from concept to finished product.
"Truly, our diamonds speak for themselves, each in a language exclusive to the person they choose." Explore their gorgeous collection of unique, one-of-a-kind rings, here.

A Short Tutorial on the Moral Essence
of Grand Strategy
Comment: #491
Discussion Threads - Comment #s: 490 and referenced comments.
Attached References:
[Ref.1] Richard Bernstein, "Foreign Views Of U.S. Darken Since Sept. 11," New York Times, September 11, 2003, Pg. 1
On the second anniversary of 9/11, the world-wide outpouring sympathy and empathy for the United States is a distant memory. It has been displaced by a widespread suspicion that there are hidden motives powering our pre-emptive, go-it-alone militarized grand strategy. The attached report in the New York Times [Ref 1] is yet another report about this widespread nature nature of our grand strategic crisis. I urge you to study [Ref 1] carefully before proceeding with this Comment.
Worldwide popular suspicion about our nation's real motives in the so-called war on terror is translating into a loss of moral authority. This is creating a yawning grand strategic vulnerability for the United States. It is a vulnerability that can be levered militarily against us by our 4GW adversaries, if they understand how the moral dimension of conflict can be used to overwhelm the mental and physical dimensions of conflict, a contingent condition which is, I fear, quite likely.
But what do I mean by moral authority?
Loss of moral authority on a personal level occurs when one fails to abide by or conform to the codes of conduct or standards of behavior he professes and others expect him to uphold.
If a person fails this test and others are hurt by the destructive consequences of that failure, those damaged souls may forgive, but they will NEVER forget. On a personal level, therefore, a little contemplation about our everyday condition reveals that a loss of moral authority is a self-inflicted wound that can be permanent, and that condition can convey a permanent competitive advantage to one's adversaries. The other thing to remember is that one's adversaries do not morally isolate the individual, like a judo artist or Sun Tzu, they lever the individual's actions against himself. Thus the "weak" can beat the "strong" if one thinks (incorrectly) that conflict is only a physical interaction.
The same considerations apply to nations, as Imperial Germany learned the hard way in 1914, when it invaded tiny neutral Belgium, and thereby militarized its grand strategy by failing to abide by the standards of behavior other nations expected it to uphold. That Germany never recovered from the moral damage caused by this violation illustrates the power of the moral dimension in Grand Strategy. As I have argued earlier, the United States is creating the same kind of self-inflicted wound by repeating Imperial Germany's mistake of militarizing its grand strategy.
What follows is a short tutorial on grand strategy. It explains the moral essence of the American strategist Col John Boyd's theories. It is written by one of Boyd's closest friends and protégés, a person who has studied Boyd's work more intensely than anyone I know, the webmaster of Defense and the National Interest, Dr. Chet Richards (Col USAFR Ret). I urge you to read this important essay carefully after you have read [Ref 1].
Grand Strategy
Dr. Chet Richards
Editor, Defense and the National Interest
http://d-n-i.net/fcs/boyd_grand_strategy.htm
Military-that is, destructive-activities have the potential to provoke a backlash in public opinion (on both sides) and among allies and the uncommitted. Nightly newscasts of civilian casualties in Vietnam, for example, helped fuel public demands to end the war, as did reports of carnage along the "Highway of Death" out of Kuwait during the last days of the First Gulf War. In this modern age of instant worldwide communications, the potential for such adverse consequences, and even for their manipulation, has obviously increased. With the growth of satellite television and the Internet, censorship is not a realistic option.
One solution is a "grand strategy" that guides military actions not only to minimize these effects but to produce positive benefits on morale and public/world opinion. Such a grand strategy would also shape our alliance structure and form a key element in isolating adversaries from physical, mental, and moral support.
The late American strategist, John R. Boyd, suggested four functions of a "sensible" grand strategy:
Support our national goal, which at the highest level involves improving our fitness, as an organic whole, to shape and cope with an everchanging environment
Pump-up our resolve, drain-away our adversary's resolve, and attract the uncommitted
End the conflict on favorable terms
Ensure that the conflict and peace terms do not provide seeds for (unfavorable) future conflict.
Note Boyd's mention of the "uncommitted," a group often slighted (or even antagonized!) in modern warfare. Grand strategy seeks to "influence the uncommitted or potential adversaries so that they are drawn towards our philosophy and are empathetic toward our success." If they choose to join our cause, great; but at the very least they should refrain from any actions that furnish comfort, support, or information to our adversaries.
A tall order. Boyd does not provide a checklist for accomplishing it, but instead advises gaining "an appreciation for the underlying
self interests
critical differences of opinion
internal contradictions
frictions
that we as well as the uncommitted and any potential or real adversaries must contend with." In other words, to create a grand strategy that works, we must carry Sun Tzu's admonition to "know the enemy and know ourselves" at a step or two farther: to know potential opponents and the uncommitted as well as we know the enemy and ourselves.
Boyd suggested a three part approach:
With respect to ourselves, live up to our ideals: eliminate those flaws in our system that create mistrust and discord while emphasizing those cultural traditions, experiences, and unfolding events that build-up harmony and trust. [That is, war is a time to fix these problems, not to delay or ignore them. As an open, democratic society, the United States should have enormous advantages in this area.]
With respect to adversaries, we should publicize their harsh statements and threats to highlight that our survival is always at risk; reveal mismatches between the adversary's professed ideals and how their government actually acts; and acquaint the adversary's population with our philosophy and way of life to show that the mismatches of their government do not accord with any social value based on either the value and dignity of the individual or on the security and well being of society as a whole. [This is not just propaganda, but must be based on evidence that our population as well as those of the uncommitted and real/potential adversaries will find credible.]
With respect to the uncommitted and potential adversaries, show that we respect their culture, bear them no harm, and will reward harmony with our cause, yet, demonstrate that we will not tolerate nor support those ideas and interactions that work against our culture and fitness to cope. [A "carrot and stick" approach. The "uncommitted" have the option to remain that way—so long as they do not aid our adversaries or break their isolation—and we hope that we can entice them to join our side. Note that we "demonstrate" the penalties for aiding the enemy, not just threaten them.]
During the Vietnam War, we committed every mistake in the grand strategic book. Instead of attracting the uncommitted, we repelled them by a perception of indiscriminate use of firepower (more tons of bombs than in all of WW II), we failed to negate Ho Chi Minh's claim that he was fighting a straightforward war for independence, we did not respect the ideals and culture of our allies ("gooks"), and our population came to believe that their government was not telling the truth about either the goals or the progress of the war (which is why our tactical victory in the 1968 Tet offensive resulted in a grand strategic defeat.) As a result, achievements on the battlefield were offset by our government's isolation first from its allies and then from its own people.
As a basis for a grand strategy, Boyd recommended a "unifying vision":
A grand ideal, overarching theme, or noble philosophy that represents a coherent paradigm within which individuals as well as societies can shape and adapt to unfolding circumstances-yet offers a way to expose flaws of competing or adversary systems. Such a unifying vision should be so compelling that it acts as a catalyst or beacon around which to evolve those qualities that permit a collective entity or organic whole to improve its stature in the scheme of things.
The U.S. Constitution represents such a theme for this country. The challenge of American grand strategy, therefore, is to uphold the ideals embodied in the Constitution, while showing that we respect the culture and achievements of our allies, the uncommitted, potential adversaries, and even the population of actual adversaries. Executing such a grand strategy would have the effect of limiting the support for—and so the options available to—violent ideological, trans-national "terrorist" groups.
Unlike military strategy, which must of necessity be kept secret and shrouded in ambiguity and misinformation, grand strategy must be well publicized and proclaimed by top leaders on a daily basis. Churchill defeated Hitler not because he was a great strategist (just one day after Churchill dismissed the blitzkrieg as merely a "scoop or raid of mechanized vehicles," German armor reached the English Channel, effectively deciding operations in France) but because he was perhaps the greatest grand strategist of the modern era:
Side by side, unaided except by their kith and kin in the great Dominions and by the wide empires which rest beneath their shield—side by side, the British and French peoples have advanced to rescue not only Europe but mankind from the foulest and most soul-destroying tyranny which has ever darkened and stained the pages of history. Behind them—behind us —behind the Armies and Fleets of Britain and France—gather a group of shattered States and bludgeoned races: the Czechs, the Poles, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Dutch, the Belgians—upon all of whom the long night of barbarism will descend, unbroken even by a star of hope, unless we conquer, as conquer we must; as conquer we shall.
- First Broadcast as Prime Minister, May 19, 1940
Lincoln was his worthy equal in the previous century:
This is essentially a people's contest. On the side of the Union it is a struggle for maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men; to lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all; to afford all an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life. [July 4, 1861]
- http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1861lincoln-special.html
As the examples of Churchill and Lincoln show, successful wartime leaders place a high premium on grand strategy. During the early phases of a conventional conflict, when alliances are being formed, and throughout a fourth generation war, they have no more pressing responsibility. In any stage, however, it is not enough just to formulate and proclaim grand visions and noble ideals: Political leaders must also ensure that military commanders understand the grand strategy, enthusiastically support it, and harmonize their operations with it. They must remove commanders who cannot or will not maintain such harmony, while still achieving their missions, and promote those who can and do.

Sun Tzu advised attacking alliances before engaging in military actions (69), placed high premiums on intelligence (knowing the enemy, 82 and Chapter 13), emphasized moral unity ("momentum") as the key to victory (43, 98-99), and proclaimed that winning without fighting was best (67).

Foreign Views Of U.S. Darken Since Sept. 11
By Richard Bernstein
BERLIN, Sept. 10
In interviews by Times correspondents from Africa to Europe to Southeast Asia, one point emerged clearly: The war in Iraq has had a major impact on public opinion, which has moved generally from post-9/11 sympathy to post-Iraq antipathy, or at least to disappointment over what is seen as the sole superpower's inclination to act pre-emptively, without either persuasive reasons or United Nations approval.
Even at this low point, millions of people still see the United States as a beacon and support its policies, including the war in Iraq, and would, given the chance, be happy to become Americans themselves.
Indeed, while the United States probably feels more threatened now than in 1989, when the cold war ended, Europe is broadly unconvinced of any imminent threat.
Most striking was a difference over the use of military force, with 84 percent of Americans but only 48 percent of Europeans supporting force as a means of imposing international justice.
In Europe overall, the proportion of people who want the United States to maintain a strong global presence fell 19 points since a similar poll last year, from 64 percent to 45 percent, while 50 percent of respondents in Germany, France and Italy express opposition to American leadership.
Even in Japan, where support for America remains strong, the view of the United States as a bully has entered the popular culture. A recent cartoon showed a character looking like President Bush in a Stars and Stripes vest pushing Japanese fishermen away from a favorite spot, saying, "I can fish better."

Home/Health/Argentina, Spain call for lifting of Covid-19 vaccine patent protections
Argentina, Spain call for lifting of Covid-19 vaccine patent protections
Online News EditorJune 9, 2021
Buenos Aires, Jun 9 (EFE).- Argentine President Alberto Fernandez and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called here Wednesday for Covid-19 vaccine patent protections to be waived so those life-saving jabs can be more quickly distributed to people in poorer countries.
"From a multilateral point of view, Argentina and Spain are calling for the lifting of patent protections for vaccines, for them to be considered a global public good and consequently for their distribution to be expedited," Sanchez said in a joint press conference with Fernandez during an official visit to Buenos Aires.
He also called for a global increase in Covid-19 vaccine production capacity with a view to inoculating populations everywhere and bringing the pandemic to an end.
"It's of great concern to us that 90 percent of the vaccines that have been produced are in the hands of 10 percent of the countries, and we think there's great inequity" there, Fernandez said for his part.
Developing nations have been calling for a temporary waiving of Covid-19 vaccine intellectual property rights and have received support from the United States and China, but the European Union as a whole says lack of manufacturing capacity is the problem and opposes the suspension of patents.
The Argentine head of state hailed the "enormous effort" his country has made in starting local production of the Russian-developed Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine and in making strides toward doing the same with one developed by the China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm).
Argentina also is producing the AstraZeneca-developed Covid-19 vaccine for the Latin American region under a deal with Mexico and that British-Swedish pharmaceutical company.
But Fernandez said a greater push is needed.
"What we need is a commitment to make the vaccines a global good and allow the technology to be transferred to different countries so production can be scaled up and accelerated and (the vaccines) can reach every inhabitant on the planet," the president said after praising Europe for having donated 50 percent of its vaccines to the Covax mechanism, a World Health Organization-led effort that aims to ensure that low- and middle-income countries have access to Covid-19 jabs.
Sanchez recalled that Spain has announced the donation of more than 20 million vaccine doses in 2021 and is particularly focused on assisting with Latin America's immunization drive.
Asked why overseas tourists inoculated with the Sputnik V vaccine – the one most commonly administered in Argentina – are not yet allowed to enter Europe, the prime minister recalled that the Russian vaccine has not been authorized for use by European regulators.
Even so, he said that shouldn't be an "obstacle to inter-continental mobility." EFE

Dan Ennis @Ennis77Dan
Investment bank Morgan Stanley is cutting about 1,500 jobs, or 2% of its workforce, sources told Bloomberg and CNBC on Monday, in what is alternately described as a year-end push for efficiency or a reaction to global economic uncertainty.
The technology and operations divisions are slated to be hit hardest, but executives in sales, trading and research also will be affected.
In a separate blow, France's market regulator fined Morgan Stanley $22.2 million Tuesday for allegedly manipulating the price of government bonds in 2015.
A multiyear slump in trading revenue, combined with the expectation that automation will take over more jobs, has spurred investment banks to shed staff in the latter half of this decade. Citi and Deutsche Bank announced cuts this summer.
Morgan Stanley cut a quarter of its fixed-income workforce in 2015, after it reported a sharp decline in that segment's revenue. Since then, the bank has gained market share despite allocating less capital and fewer people to that part of its business. Morgan Stanley reported a 21% increase in fixed-income trading revenue in this year's third quarter and generated $5 billion from the business last year, Bloomberg reported. Analysts expect the bank to end 2019 with 10% more fixed-income trading revenue than in 2015, while rival Goldman Sachs's total has dropped about 20% in that time frame, according to Bloomberg.
Morgan Stanley plans to take a charge of $150 million to $200 million in its fourth-quarter results connected to the job cuts, a source told Bloomberg. The bank had 60,532 employees as of Sept. 30, according to CNBC.
In Tuesday's decision from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, London-based Morgan Stanley traders "aggressively" purchased futures contracts linked to French bonds to cause an "abnormal and artificial" increase in the price of French and Belgian bonds it held, according to Financial Times.
The June 16, 2015, trades came amid bond market volatility as Greece was thought to be leaving the eurozone.
Morgan Stanley said it was "disappointed" in the finding and intends to appeal the decision.
The bank's trading operations made headlines last month, when Morgan Stanley fired or placed on leave at least four traders over an alleged mis-marking of securities that concealed losses of between $100 million and $140 million.
Morgan Stanley's stock is up about 25% this year, its best showing since 2016.

Q: $\liminf_{r\to 0} f(r)/r^n=0$ implies $\mu=0$ if $\mu$ is a positive Borel measure on $\Bbb R^n$, $f(r)=\sup _{x\in \Bbb R^n} \mu(B(x,r))<\infty$ Suppose $\mu$ is a positive Borel measure on $\Bbb R^n$. For $r>0$, define $f(r)=\sup _{x\in \Bbb R^n} \mu(B(x,r))$, and suppose $f(r)<\infty $ for all $r$. I am trying to show that if $\liminf_{r\to 0} f(r)/r^n=0$ then we must have $\mu=0$. By assumption, $\mu(K)$ is finite for any compact set $K$, and this implies that $\mu$ is regular (Riesz representation theorem). Assuming $\mu \neq 0$, I tried to show$\liminf_{r\to 0} f(r)/r^n>0$, but I got stuck. Any hints?

A: Here is a proof using a covering argument:
Fix $R>0$. The open ball $B(0,R)$ can be covered by $(\lfloor \frac{2R}{r} \rfloor+1)^n$ cubes of side length $r$. Each of the cubes, in turn, is contained in a ball of radius $\sqrt{n} r$. Thus, in conclusion, the ball $B(0,R)$ can be covered by $(\lfloor \frac{2R}{r} \rfloor+1)^n$ balls of radius $\sqrt{n} r$. (This is pretty rough upper bound but it will do the job.) By the subadditivity of $\mu$, we get
$$\mu(B(0,R)) \leq \left( \frac{2R}{r} +1 \right)^n f(\sqrt{n} r). \tag{1}$$
For $r<2R$, this implies
$$\mu(B(0,R)) \leq \left( \frac{2R}{r} +\frac{2R}{r} \right)^n f(\sqrt{n} r) = 4^n R^n \sqrt{n}^n \frac{ f(\sqrt{n} r)}{(\sqrt{n} r)^n}$$
As $r \in (0,2R)$ is arbitrary, we find that
$$\mu(B(0,R)) \leq  4^n R^n \sqrt{n}^n \underbrace{\liminf_{r \to 0}  \frac{ f(\sqrt{n} r)}{(\sqrt{n} r)^n}}_{=0 \,\text{by assumption}} =0.$$
Hence,
$$\mu(\mathbb{R}^d) = \sup_{R>0} \mu(B(0,R)) =0.$$

Intensive Cardiac Care Unit which provides treatment for a full range of urgent and complex cardiac conditions like heart attack, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, acute heart failure, complex arrhythmias and other emergency cardiac conditions, using precision computerized monitoring systems.
ICCU contains extensive heart monitoring and testing equipment as well as a staff trained and certified in heart conditions and procedures and their aftermath.
Our ICCUs are designed to limit stress to patients during the initial, critical phase of their treatment. Visitors are typically restricted to immediate family members, and visiting hours are often limited to two or three short periods of time per day. Food and other items brought from outside the hospital, are usually prohibited as well. Patients in ICCUs tend to be on supervised diets, to avoid introducing potential infection-causing bacteria into the environment.
Patients at ICCU are connected to heart monitors, and some patients also require ventilators to assist their breathing. Additionally, a variety of tests are often done during a stay in the ICCU, such as blood work or electrocardiograms, which measures the electrical activity of the heart. Many different cardiac medications may be given, including those to treat heart failure or to reduce the workload of the heart.

Home Opinion Op-Ed: Data performativity and UConn's COVID-19 dashboard
Op-Ed: Data performativity and UConn's COVID-19 dashboard
by Mary Bugbee, PhD student (Anthropology), and Sara Ailshire, PhD student (Anthropology)
When UConn released its COVID-19 dashboard on Aug. 19, it was a welcome development for students, workers and residents in surrounding communities. There was a pervasive sense of uncertainty among both those who would be returning to or living near campus, as well as those who would remain online. As we prepared for reopening, many of us thought that the dashboard — presented as a tool to track daily COVID-19 positive cases and other relevant data — could help manage uncertainty and provide transparency regarding our health and safety. However, the dashboard quickly shifted from serving as a tool of transparency and uncertainty management to one that obfuscated data and generated rumor.
View our dashboard for the latest COVID-19 data.

— UConn (@UConn) August 30, 2020
During the early weeks of the dashboard, graduate students like ourselves were engaged in an administrative fight that we would come to find out was directly related to the quality and accuracy of the data on this dashboard. We were advocating for those enrolled in GRAD credits who would be conducting all research and dissertation activities online to be classified as online students, in order to save hundreds of dollars in fees during a time of increased precarity and decreased academic employment opportunities. Yet the university refused to correctly classify nearly 1000 grads like us as online students in an effort to preserve $500,000 in fee revenue. Our 'online' misclassification proved to be a larger issue once the university began the COVID-19 testing for commuter students. We are currently living in California and Ohio, and yet we were urged to take a test. There was no clear communication about testing for the nearly 1000 graduate students in our position — those who were commuters in name only.
As concerned UConn community members, and also as medical anthropologists who have been trained to think critically about health metrics — specifically how they're produced and what agendas they serve — we were quick to call attention to this issue with relevant administrators and staff. We pointed out that the sampling error in the dashboard would lead to inaccurate data for commuter positivity rates, and, having realized the university would not be classifying us correctly as online to remedy this issue, we thought perhaps administrators might consider a workaround solution to preserve the integrity of the testing data.
We both inquired about exceptions to taking the test but never received a definitive answer for how to proceed. Some staff said grad students in our situation could get an exception from the test; others told us we could not, and still others recognized the core issue at stake (data accuracy) but advised us to take it anyway. Multiple administrators did not perceive the sampling error from their policy to be a problem. We ended up both testing, concerned that we would be subject to penalties for not testing, but we remained concerned about what would happen to our test results.
We were frustrated. We saw multiple solutions that could be implemented to protect the data. To start, the university could have sent official communication issuing guidance on whether we could get an exception to the test and under what circumstances, as well as what bureaucratic procedures we needed to follow to ensure we wouldn't receive holds on our accounts. They also could have taken an ex post-facto approach by including a disclaimer on the dashboard about the sampling error.
When metrics are shared publicly, but members of the community recognize them to be inaccurate or insufficient, rumors and speculation can easily proliferate. We began to speculate what the purpose of this dashboard was, after all, if accuracy was not being prioritized. Photo courtesy of Reopen UConn's website.
This dashboard became more to us than a site for criticism. As medical anthropologists in-training, it became a site to think through the role of metrics, rumor and data performativity. These are concepts that have guided anthropological analyses in contexts ranging from post-2004 tsunami Indonesia, malaria reporting requirements in Senegal, global gender-based violence and human trafficking statistics and more.
Rumor figures importantly here. When metrics are shared publicly, but members of the community recognize them to be inaccurate or insufficient, rumors and speculation can easily proliferate. We began to speculate what the purpose of this dashboard was, after all, if accuracy was not being prioritized. Was this dashboard a PR tool to generate a false sense of security among the community? Was it an effort to perform transparency, while in reality obfuscating accurate data? We noticed how the structure of the dashboard changed over the weeks with little or insufficient explanation: Available isolation beds periodically increased, the commuter testing from the initial reopening period was retired (and relegated to small print) the week after the commuter positive rate increased and other visually minor, but high impact, changes were made.
To top things off, the New York Times has been reporting data that is inconsistent with UConn's. The university maintains that the difference lies in NYT's inclusion of UConn Health data with their total, while the university chooses to disaggregate the two campuses. Even then, students have pointed out that this explanation does not fully account for the inconsistencies. Student accounts of positive cases among the student body that have not been represented in the official counts circulate online and off. What can the dashboard do to dispel rumor when its inaccuracy is well-known to the community it is meant to serve?
On Tuesday, Sept. 22, UConn's public relations team released an article in UConn Today to address "misconceptions" and "questions" about the dashboard. When a dashboard is sowing confusion, obfuscating data, and publishing faulty data, it is only a matter of time before UConn would have to engage in damage control. The article alone is damning as it demonstrates the dashboard is failing at what it's allegedly supposed to do: provide transparent, accurate public health data to the community.
We write here because we, like so many others, have been ignored at best and dismissed at worst. We assume that UConn's priority has never been to full transparency of the public health data it was collecting. Rather, their COVID-19 dashboard has been a performance of transparency, one aimed at preserving image and reducing skepticism regarding the safety of reopening. We urge UConn to seriously engage with the concerns in our community and to allow the dashboard to serve as an accurate, informative place for communication about campus health and safety.

Q: Can't print Javascript array completely I'm trying to iterate through the array of numbers and print all its elements

var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

function q(arr) {
  for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
    if(arr[i]) {
      console.log(arr[i]);
    }
  }
}

q(arr);

The array contains 11 elements, but my code prints only 10 (except the 1'st element). But why? And how can i print my array completely?
Thank you

A: In the array element 0 is a falsy value so it won't get printed since there is an if statement which checks the elements is truthy.
There is no reason to use an if condition if you just want to iterate so remove the if condition to get it print.

var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

function q(arr) {
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    console.log(arr[i]);
  }
}

q(arr);

FYI : In case you want to avoid null values then use condition as arr[i] !== null instead.

A: The problem is in your if statement. The arr[0] returns 0 which is a falsy value and thus the code inside the if statement will not be executed. Remove the if statement and it should work as i is always < than the length of the array

A: Just remove if condition . when if(arr[0]) it will not satisfied

var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

function q(arr) {
  for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {

      console.log(arr[i]);

  }
}

q(arr);

A: just check if each element !== null

var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

function q(arr) {
  for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
    if(arr[i] != null) {
      console.log(arr[i]);
    }
  }
}

q(arr);

A: The first element of arr array (0) evaluates to false inside your if statement.
Here is the working snippet:

var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

function q(arr) {
  for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
    if(arr[i] || arr[i] === 0) {
      console.log(arr[i]);
    }
  }
}

q(arr);

To get what you want, your if statement should look like this: arr[i] || arr[i] === 0. And i reccomend you to read about coercion to understand what's really is going on.
And you don't really need if statement here


Wouldn't it be nice if there was a button you could press for happiness?
It would be nice if there was a button for everything, but the truth is that there isn't. There is, however, a process that can be done to experience happiness in a way that is less fleeting, more consistent and even more intense. It's not as easy as a button but it is simple once you understand the process.
Everything I write here is my understanding of what is true and I try to convey it in a way that is easy to understand for everyone. The problem with that is that each of us have differing internal dictionaries and if we hold opposing understandings of just 1 word, the meaning can be totally confused. If you have any questions about anything I share or you are confused please ask. I'm available for you if you truly want to understand this subject matter better.
With that said, let's start by defining happiness.
Happiness, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is: a state of well-being and contentment; joy.
If we cross-reference this with the Natural Law of Vibration, we can see that it is a very high vibration emotion.
The Natural Law of Vibration states that everything in nature is in motion. When we look at quantum physics we see that nothing is at rest. There are tiny particles that never cease to be in a state of vibration. From our limited perspective of the universe, larger things like rocks, chairs, buildings, etc. appear to be still, but we know that they are not.
This Law of Vibration applies to us as well. Using the emotional vibration chart we can see that in order to experience joy, we would need to attain a certain emotional vibration level. This is also the Law from which the Law of Attraction comes from. The books that are on the market have made this Law more confusing than it needs to be because it doesn't educate the reader on the entire set of Natural Laws (there are 7) which is needed to understand how to use it.
The Law of Attraction is simply the understanding that the vibrations you release in the present moment will come back to you. Sometimes it is almost instantly and sometimes it can take a while. It depends on how complicated the series of vibrations you send out are. This includes subconscious vibrations as well that we are constantly sending out.
1 and 2 really go together, but I separated them to highlight that they are each key elements. The proper way to do this is get into a meditative state first. If you so not practice meditation, I highly recommend it as it creates a bridge between our mind (conscious and subconscious) and the superconscious mind (the universe itself).
To learn more about the superconscious mind the first Natural Law is what ought to be studied, which is Mentalism. All is Mind.
Imagine what it is that want as if you already possess it. Important note: do NOT imagine you wanting it – this sends the vibration of desire out to the universe which will only bring you back more desire and will never actually return the object or experience of the desire. So focus on the actually having this object or experience then explore the emotions and feelings that come from having this. Do this for as long as you feel necessary.
3. Remove limiting beliefs – during this visualization you may experience thoughts of doubts, worthlessness, absurdity, etc. There are no beliefs that you are carrying around in your ego that do not limit you. These must be released in order to start attracting what you really want in your life. I will discuss how to do this in a future article. You can write or call me if you want to get started on this process sooner.
4. Release this new belief – once you have fully felt the experience of this as if it were true, you then just release the attachment to this belief. If you hold on to belief it will not reach wherever it needs to in the universe to bring it back to you. I found this the hardest step to initially be able to do, but now it is the most exciting because it is a big surprise when it shows up seemingly out of nowhere.
There are other things that we need to be aware of that also affect our vibration. The most important of which is the food that we eat. Food, like everything, has its own vibration. This means that we take on the energy of the foods that we consume.
Raw, whole foods are going to have the highest vibration and meats of animals that have been slaughtered in inhumane ways will have a low frequency vibration. Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine all influence our vibration.
Our belief systems interfere with our actions and cause us to do things that are not in line with our thoughts. We know fast food is very unhealthy, but the chemicals in the food make us feel good while we are eating it, so we act in disharmony with our thoughts. We may also have an underlying belief that convenience is more important than our health or that we are not worthy of being healthy. Happiness is a side effect of bringing our thoughts, emotions and actions into harmony.
Exercise is an activity that has amazing benefits to our health, and by extension our happiness. Our bodies don't require a lot of exercise, but it does require it. My goal is 45 minutes daily of stretching, light cardio and core strengthening exercises.
Meditation helps to balance the mind. Reiki helps to balance our chakra system. Chemicals in household cleaning products, weedkillers, or insecticides unbalance our internal systems. Walking or just being in nature helps you to sync with the harmony that nature herself offers.
The one thing in common with everything I've talked about so far is the fact that you have control over the actions that you take. A lot of your choices may be subconscious and you don't even become aware of it until later, or they are just stronger than the choice to take actions that will bring you happiness.
I also understand how hard it is to change old habits…especially ones that bring pleasure. I do understand now that the only choice you really need to make is to be happy. Using what you learn about the Natural Laws and the Law of Attraction, imagine being abundantly happy. Feel it. Experience it. Your mind will make it real. Then let it go.
It will come back to you. As you become more adept at doing this, you can greet the return of the feeling as an old friend. The added bonus to being able to fully implement this method is that it has a snowball effect. The more happiness that you both imagine and experience, the more it will come to you.
May you have all of the happiness that you can imagine!

Members of the Mosshart family say they're unsure how they didn't blow up at one another when their mother insisted they stop at the saltwater taffy shop where they ended up having to wait in a 15-minute line.
MYRTLE BEACH, SC—Growing more and more anxious as their trip nears its end, members of the Mosshart family confided to reporters Friday they have felt increasingly on edge knowing their vacation has gone by without a single blowout fight between them.
According to reports, Greg and Linda Mosshart, along with their children, Olivia and Danny, have shared a small hotel suite in Myrtle Beach for almost a week and have become more tense with each passing day. The four family members have reportedly eaten all their meals together, engaged in all the same recreational activities, and spent nearly every waking hour in one another's company, a situation they each independently confirmed had led to a steady increase in stress and aggravation, but which, they noted, had yet to devolve into an explosive altercation.
Family sources stated that given their accumulated frustrations and ongoing close contact with one another, a major blowup was expected at any moment.
Family members went on to speculate that the anticipated outburst of hostility could well occur during tomorrow's 45-minute drive to the rental car return facility, or even sooner given tonight's plans for dinner at a popular and typically crowded restaurant. If there is a long wait for a table, if either of the children complains about the menu, or if one of the parents becomes agitated by how much the meal winds up costing, it is widely believed all hell will break lose.
The Mossharts further acknowledged that the relative peace they are experiencing is so tenuous that even a single sarcastic remark or a word muttered under someone's breath could be the flashpoint that makes everyone erupt into a flurry of name-calling, accusations, and loud public theatrics.
According to reports, the family's sense of imminent dread is the result of past vacations that have always featured prominent explosions of temper, among them a camping trip last summer in which Olivia capped a protracted tantrum by screaming "I hate you" at her mother before storming off to sulk in the car, and an excursion to the Grand Canyon during which Danny whined that he was bored, causing Greg to slam on the brakes, pull over, and admonish everyone for not appreciating how much time and money had been spent on the vacation.
While the Mossharts admitted it was possible the beach trip could go by without anyone flying off the handle, the children observed that it isn't likely considering how upset their mother became yesterday when she tried unsuccessfully to cajole and motivate her husband and kids to walk the half mile down to the pier to take a family photo together. After the suggestion was repeatedly rebuffed, reports indicate she went so far as to purse her lips and say, "You know…" before stopping herself, a sentence everyone assumed would be finished by the time the trip was over.
At press time, each of the family members conceded that if they somehow managed to make it through the vacation without a major blowout, they would simply take their simmering, combustible resentment home with them.


I think I'm semi-camper. I enjoy playing sniper a lot and setting up ambushes on the enemy and I think that camping is not equal to camping.
What I mean is that if someone complain that is killed by a guy in a corner than that means that the complainer never heard how soldiers clears room and they're basing their "skill" on being as fast players as they can be, not on being smart one. How one guy can get killed 5 times in a row in same spot by a same guy ? If I'm killed in one spot I'm not going there to get "revenge" kill because I know as soon as I get there I will get killed again. I have to go around or go kill somewhere else and it's called: thinking/strategy/tactic etc.
But yes, I hate some kind of campers. Have you ever played infected in new wwII game ? Infected person in previous games used to have at least throwing knife as a weapon but now 1 men with axe should be able to kill like 12(?) people that camp at one side of map with set up bombs and guns and that's kind of camping I'm hating because it's making game unplayable and it's cutting of the whole fun of it. Also very good example of it is Gustav map where you can jump on tank and you almost immortal from that point.
I also hate people with riot shield and I see them as some kind of camping people because instead going into gunfight they move with hard to take around wall. We must remember that wwII maps are very small and riot shields makes maps like point du hoc kind of frustrating. Like you go tunel in center of it and than bam ! Riot shield guy that can be taken from behind. It's pretty cheap.
So good camping is one of the tactics you can play with almost any match type.
Bad camping is moment when camper or whole team of campers makes game unplayable.
If you need to ask why people hate campers then you have no clue about this game, I'll list some reasons off.
- you're not doing anything for the objectives in the game, therefore you are not really helping the team.
- you may make your pathetic claim its kills for the team, take your sorry pathetic a$$ & play only TDM since the rest of the games are objective games = play the game or leave ! because kills doesnt seal the win in objective games therefore you are not helping the team !
- though at the same time camping for a short time because waiting for the player that was following you & shooting at you, or a good spot to sit for a short time to see if someone shows up. Both acceptable to me but would like to throw a random number out there for this.
if you spend more than 1/3 of your time camping to get kills you're a camper ! this should be for those random short sit an wait for them, anyways you're bound to be hiunted out anyways if you're camping so why do it for very long ?
1/3 of your time should be achieving the objectives in the game &/or placing explosives, scorestreaks use, going after enemies supply drops.
I feel like complaining about campers is somewhat justified, as it makes the game less run-n-gun and more eat-Cheetos-while-prone-in-the-corner. But more often I think it's a common excuse when someone dies and they feel they need a reason as to why they died.
"You're STILL camping??" - even though I was moving through the area for the first time in a few minutes.
"OMG you're just gonna lay there prone?!" - even though I saw you coming and decided to momentarily stop, go prone, and let you come into the open.
"F###ing camper!!!" - even though I joined the game 30 seconds ago and now have 1 kill, 0 deaths.
The stairs launch is my 100% favorite thing in this game. I have maybe 20-30 instances of that recorded on my Xbox, with a perfect view from inside the bunker. It's awesome to hear the mine click, and then turn around to see a corpse flying up the stairs lol. Gonna make a sweet highlight reel when I get around to it.
I would love to see that, tell all those people they are going to jump school, AIRBORNE!!!
heres a idea since this is a camping issue, which some idiots have no clue why people shouldn't do it all the time.
Well from now on EVERYONE should just sit back in a corner & camp & wait for the person to come by to kill.
lets see how those games go.
Oh wait, nothing's going to happen, thats right absolutely NOTHING will happen since everyone is a pathetic camper, no one will move.
now tell how fun would that game be ? where everyone just sat in their little MFN corner camping !
no obejectives will be gained, no killing other team since if no one moves the no one will be killed !
yeah sniping is kind of boring if thats all your main objective is to just be a sniper.
if you flip between sniping & SMG or AR then sniping can be fun.
theres few maps in WWII that are a full on sniping map, where you're able to run around just sniping thats it.
well you could but you will be hunted down fast, so your just sniping theroy will be ruined very fast !

*spoiler alert* when PinkBlush asked me to do a sponsored post featuring an item from their online women's boutique, i was SO excited! a huge thank you to ShopPinkBlush for the complimentary dress! NOW, this post is sponsored by PinkBlush but all of the opinions in this post are mine! i promise i wouldn't endorse something if i didn't love it! to see my full disclosure policy, go here.
a few weeks ago, i was just casually scrolling through my personal account on instagram when i got a DM (direct message) from one of my acquaintances. i checked it, responded, and then noticed that i had a message request from @shoppinkblush. i didn't know what it was, so i nervously checked it.
i opened the message to find that their collaborations rep was asking ME to collaborate with them! i was floored and beyond excited! but i didn't know if PinkBlush even sold anything besides maternity clothes (because i'm definitely not pregnant so that would be a little weird), if it was modest, if they had prices that wouldn't kill our adventure/fun savings, and if i would even like their style. so before responding i headed over to their instagram account.
i was not disappointed! they had cute dresses for women of ALL sizes. i'll admit, i spent waaaaay too much time on their instagram account and even more time looking at their Women's Online Boutique. floral print tunics, striped dresses and shirts, solid color dresses. i could barely hold myself back from buying the whole shop!
i responded quickly (and by quickly i mean, it had been a few weeks after they had messaged me, but quickly after i saw the message) and was over-the-moon excited when they responded and still wanted to work with me! we hashed out the details and i got right to work trying to figure out what i would choose to get to style and wear.
now, this was the hard part. because like i said in my about me page, my wardrobe largely consists of ugly sweaters found at a local thrift shop, animal tee shirts, and sunday dresses. i mean, i'll be real-- i have nicer clothes and i really like a lot of the trendy (yet still modest) clothes these days. they just aren't my first pick.
2. a lot of trendy boutiques online are kind of expensive. like really expensive. like triple digits for ONE dress. WHAAAAT?!
i'll also admit that i was super nervous about reason #2 when i went to look at the prices at Pink Blush Boutique. but i was pleasantly surprised! no triple digits anywhere in site! (pun intended) and they have flash sales on their instagram ALL the time! win-win!
i ordered my dress and not-so-patiently waited for it to arrive! on wednesday, i got a text from my mother-in-law saying my package from PinkBlush had arrived! i was SO excited! parker got home from work and i told him my package had come. we wanted to go get it, but we had to go to school. so after school we rushed over to his parents house and i quickly opened my package.
YOU GUYS. i almost died of happiness right there. my dress is perfect! also, it's made of cloud fabric, i'm sure of it! it is the SOFTEST dress i've ever owned! it is striped AND has lace.
also, parker took these photos. for all the times he's said, "she takes the pictures, i just hold the bag," he's pretty good!
but wait. THERE'S MORE to this story.
i am SO excited to announce that over here at the banks blog, we are teaming up with ShopPinkBlush to GIVE AWAY a $50 gift card to their online women's boutique! FIFTY DOLLARS! if you want in on that action, and trust me, YOU DO-- head over to my instagram account (@thebanksblog) at 9am to enter!

What Major League Baseball Can Learn From the Colleges
My family and I will be tuning in to ESPN this weekend to watch some baseball, but we won't be watching the Yankees, Nationals or the Braves play.
Instead, we'll be checking our T.V. schedules and watching at least one of four games scheduled as the 2011 College World Series gets underway.
There are some important differences between major league baseball and the college level, including the type of baseball bats used. Wooden bats are used by the majors, aluminum bats are the choice of the colleges. The real differences between the two levels has nothing to do with bats, but everything to do with how the game is approached. Let's take a look at what major league baseball can learn from the colleges.
Give fans the players — On the college level, the fans can reach out and touch their favorite players. Literally. That was something professional baseball used to make possible, but the interaction between the stars and the gawkers has diminished considerably. Certainly, pre-game autograph signings can help, but they're difficult for people to get to who have to slog through traffic. After game meet ups can help.
Give players the fans — MLB has lost the trust of a lot of fans. Sure, attendance is strong at many parks, but the drug problems of the last decade have made everyone in the stands a cynic. It is assumed that any player who has a break out year has either juiced the ball or juiced himself. Pro players have lost perspective of the game and are now controlled by statistics and a slave to an outrageous salary structure. There is something to be said of players who take to the mound for no pay and many weeks after school has ended for the year.
Make it worth following — The pro season is too long, dragged out by an extended post season that goes through the month of October, when football season is at its peak. Certainly, baseball has heard some of the grumblings about games stretching into November, but the series is still too late. And, games are impossibly long — contests that were over in under two hours now take three, sometimes four hours to end.
Bring back the mystique — Perhaps it is the extended post season where three sets of series are played that has change pro baseball. Before the days of expansion, the winner of the American League played the winner of the National League for the world series. Maybe professional baseball should invite each of the teams to one location to duke it out for 10 to 12 days just as they do in Omaha. At least the season would be over by October 12.
Will major league baseball make some more changes to bring the game back to the fans? Probably not. With money driving the game at a level far higher than what you find on the CWS level, the incentive to change just isn't there. That's too bad, but we can dream now, can't we?

SHOP: Mollie King's 2nd 'Loved By Mollie' Oasis collection
By Lauren Smith
Tuesday 8 April 2014
Remember when we told you all about Mollie King's partnership with Oasis, and move into fashion with a Next modelling contract under her belt?
Well the team-up was so sucessful, the chicest Saturday is back fronting the high street stores Loved BY Mollie collection, a curated edit of 30 pieces for spring/summer hand-picked by the singer.
So what's different this time around? Instead of the cute coats, leather and animal print from last season's drop, this time around Mollie has gone for co-ordinates (our new favourite fashion trend), longer-length skirts and denim.
This Oasis campaign with England Netball stars is a total joy
Squad goals.
It's all very springlike and girly - and with a new longer 'do, we're loving Mollie's feminine look in the campaign photos.
While there's no talk of Mollie progressing beyond "curator" and becoming a designer as of yet, the Chief Operating Officer of Oasis, Hash Ladha, spoke of the "incredible customer reaction" to the first collection, crediting Mollie's "proven style know-how" as the reason for the successful partnership.
And Mollie is pretty excited about returning to work with Oasis too:
The new rules for rocking 'Victoriana'
High-necks, long sleeves, lace and velvet. Embrace your inner-goth here.
"I've always had a real affinity for Oasis and leapt at the opportunity to work on a second collection with such a fabulous fashion brand. I've learnt so much throughout the process and cannot wait to see the new collection in store."
Loved by Mollie is available in Oasis Stores and online - NOW!
On Tuesday 22 October, we wrote...
Mollie King has always been one of our favourite Saturdays, style wise - so it's no surprise that she's been snapped up by Oasis for their first ever celebrity partnership.
The high street label's new "style ambassador", Mollie has created a fashion-forward edit, Loved By Mollie, a 45-strong collection highlighting her favourite key pieces created by the Oasis in-house design team. More of a styling/modelling than a designing role, she's also starring in the campaign, as well as a series of styling films appearing on Oasis-stores.com.

Mollie, with her "gorgeous girl next door looks and style know-how", was a natural fit for the brand, according to Oasis, but she's also a big Oasis shopper, telling us at an intimate launch dinner for the collection last night: "I've always been an Oasis girl, it's one of the few brands that suit my personal style and I'm a regular shopper".
She also thinks it's a real find on the high street, saying that "What I love about Oasis is that people always ask you were what you're wearing is from, but they can never guess it's high street".
The team-up marks a real move into the fashion world for Mollie - as she's just been snapped up by Next Models (who'd been tracking her style for a while), joining Alexa Chung and Rita Ora on their books.
She said working with them has definitely made her up her fashion game - and is responsible for her a pared-back beauty look (featuring bold brows) we noticed last night:
The gorgeous Oasis x V&A collection drops today
Oasis has teamed up with the V&A Museum for an exclusive capsule fashion collection
"I did a shoot for Next and it was so different to anything I've ever done with The Saturdays - obviously with the band, the style is all about glamour, but to be more fashion it was more stripped back. For the shoot I said I wanted bold brows - I wanted to go Cara Delevingne! And I loved it so much I wanted to keep it. When I see models at parties they are always wearing little to no make-up - so it's a new look for me and a nice change from what I do with the band"
Whilst actual clothing design isn't on the horizon for Mollie (although she'll be working with Oasis for a whole year - so expect more from this stylish Saturday), does her new fashionable direction mean she'd branch into styling her bandmates?
Not so - as she said it was hard enough choosing something from her curated collection for each of the girls to wear - telling us "the band all have such individual style" she wasn't sure what they'd like! But she does style her sisters (all the same size) for date nights and lets them borrow anything from her wardrobe.
On the subject of families - we had to ask how her bandmate's new arrival was coming along, and Mollie told us all about visiting Frankie Sandford in hospital:
"Meeting baby Parker was so amazing - although I freak out a bit when I have to hold babies so when I was asked to hold him I was all stiff and had to sit down because I didn't want to drop him!"
The Loved by Mollie King collection ranges from £28 - £350 and is available in selected stores and online at www.oasis-stores.com. See the full collection below:

This is the conclusion to the story of Job. This is a book that has a lot of twists and turns, and we are left in the story a bit curious about the Lord's plan for this man. Is this man just going to suffer? Is this man going to be made whole? What can such suffering teach us about the Gospel?
Job heard of the Lord, but now he sees the Lord. How is this different and what is significant about this transition?
Job has not repented in a true Godly sorrow, but instead continues to hold to his innocence. So, now the Lord is the one who continues with his speech to Job. Job is invited to hear that the Lord is good, gracious, merciful, and the Lord is perfectly just. We are invited to witness this speech, Job is invited to hear this speech, but will Job finally listen and concede the righteousness of the Lord?
Job clings and defends his innocence. He is a man who has not done anything to receive the punishment, the suffering, and the pain he has experienced. This is all out of line and how can the Lord do such a horrible thing to such a righteous man? Job fights for his day in court and now Job has his day to defend himself before the Lord. Will Job give an adequate defense? Will God concede that something has gone wrong?
Job is one who is suffering greatly. There is no doubt that Job has received some troubling advice from the counselors. However, is there something legitimate that needs to be called to Job's attention?
Elihu waits for Job to answer, but Job gives no answer so Elihu continues to address his friend and the counselors. Elihu defends the justice of God and desires all to know that our God is definitely just. Has Job denied that God is just or is Elihu merely putting words in this suffering saint's mouth? Do we really need to care so much about God's justice?
Elihu continues to interact with Job. He is not happy with Job's attitude and Job's accusations against God. He now turns to Job and confronts his line of thinking. Will Job concede the words from this young man? Will Job continue his course claiming his own holiness and cling to his self righteousness?
Prior to Job 32 there have been a lot of words, speeches, and exchanges about suffering. The speeches are frustrating because there is no resolution on the horizon. The counselors and Job are finally finished with their bantering, but the book is not resolved. Job is the last one to speak, but his words are not all that God glorifying. Is there another man who can step up and offer some wisdom, offer some insight, or maybe a different perspective? We meet Elihu. Who is this man, and why has he been silent for so long?
Job is one who has suffered, but he is not someone that we would say is a champion. He is a man who continually rests in his righteousness while wondering how God can make such a righteous man suffer. We can chuckle and Job, judge Job, and point out Job's problems. However, we still have not asked the deeper question: why is this book in our canon? What can Job's suffering and self righteous speech teach us about our Christian walk, our bent, and our failure to see the gospel?


Microsoft PowerPoint offers a variety of charts and graphs that you can add to your presentations. These charts will mostly appear as static images on your slides though you can use PowerPoint's built-in animation tools to add some movement and interactivity.
For instance, if you have have added a bar chart on one of you slides, you may apply custom animations to the chart such that each of the bars appear on screen with a fade or, say, a wipe. This support page has more details on how you can animate charts in PowerPoint.
Animated charts, if done well, can help you grab the attention of your live audience. With PowerPoint, you can add some basic animations to your charts but the workflow is not as easy as you would like it to be.
If you are therefore looking for an alternate charting tool that's more intuitive and one that can generate impressive animated charts but in considerable less amount of time, try oomfo.
Oomfo is a free plug-in that lets you create Adobe Flash based animated charts right inside your copy of Microsoft PowerPoint. It supports all the recent versions of Microsoft Office including Office 2010.
It uses a simple wizard – choose a chart type, type the data into the wizard (or you can copy-paste cells from Excel) and it will then insert the chart into your current PowerPoint slide as a Flash (SWF) object. You can place the chart anywhere on the slide or even resize it just like a regular image based chart.
What you see above is a video of a sample PowerPoint chart that was created using Oomfo.
The chart animation plays as soon as the slide appears on the screen and then you can use your mouse pointer to highlight the various data points, something which is not that easy to accomplish in standard PowerPoint.

Cities: Skylines je budovatelská strategie od studia Colossal Order, publikována společností Paradox Interactive, vydána 10. března 2015. Hra je pro jednoho hráče, jde o variaci klasického žánru městských simulací. Hráči musí pro rozvoj města a zisk příjmů udržovat rozpočet města, populaci, zdraví, radost, zaměstnanost, znečištění (půdní, vodní a hlukové), dopravu a propracovanou veřejnou dopravu. Může se hrát také v sandbox módu, kde není hráč omezen financemi či zdroji surovin. Hra funguje offline.

Hra je propojena s Steam Workshopem, podporuje modifikace (módy a "assety" a sdílet se můžou také mapy) vytvořené hráči. Již měsíc po vydání bylo na Steam Workshopu vytvořených přes 20 000 hráčských dodatků ke hře.

V březnu 2023 byla oznámena nástupnická hra s titulem Cities: Skylines 2.

Vydání

Ke hře jsou také vydávány tzv. patche (náplasti) které opravují vady ve hře a přidávají nové funkce. I základní verze bývá zdarma vylepšována.

Systémové požadavky
Vývojář Colossal Order zveřejnil již na počátku existence hry minimální a doporučené požadavky pro hraní. Při přidání mnoha modifikací však mohou požadavky stoupat:

Dragon's blood is a bright red resin that is obtained from different species of a number of distinct plant genera: Croton, Dracaena. This Dragon's blood is extracted and manufactured from a local Colombian community (inga tribes) and it's 100% pure and natural.
It's dark red in color, which is part of what gives dragon's blood its name.
The plant resin has been used for thousands of years for distinct purposes. There are records of its use among the ancient Greeks and Romans and in India, China, and the Middle East.
Some of its uses are for health. It's also been used as dye, paint, incense, or for spiritual purposes. It has strong, somewhat sweet fragrance not unlike vanilla and spices.
- Anticancer: Research related to dragon's blood and cancer is in its early stages. There may be anti-tumor potential in dragon's blood.
- Wound Healing: When it comes to dragon's blood for skin health, some research has shown that this herbal remedy may speed up how fast wounds heal.
- Beauty Care: A few drops applied directly to the skin reduces infection and swelling due to rashes or acne. It minimizes scarring and lightens sun spots and will even shrink and lighten dark moles and skin tags. Dragon's Blood will help reduce the itching of eczema, psoriasis and herpes.
- Pet Care: Dragon's Blood quickly takes the pain and swelling from insect bites such as spiders, red ants and even scorpion and bee stings. It even proved to prevent infection after extracting porcupine quills for my Wolf dog's nose and mouth.
Ulcers/Digestive system: Combine 3 to 5 drops for every ounce of water and use as a wound wash.
Don't rely on these approaches to replace doctor-recommended treatments for your topical ulcer.

Joona Koppanen is an intriguing forward who was key part of Ilves in his first U20 season. He registered 9-17-26 stat line, but I came away even more impressed by his defensive game and hockey sense. Koppanen respectably won both Finnish U20 league and U18 World Championship gold medals. The 6'5 center is ranked 27th (European skaters) in NHL Central Scouting Final Rankings.
