New Hillsboro safety and service director begins duties
By Gary Abernathy - gabernathy@civitasmedia.com
New Hillsboro Safety and Service Director Mel McKenzie, right, talks with mayor Drew Hastings on Wednesday in the mayor's office at the city building.
Hillsboro's new safety and service director began his duties Wednesday, meeting with the mayor and department heads, and touring the town with the interim safety director.
Mel McKenzie accepted mayor Drew Hastings' job offer in early May. McKenzie previously served as the Geographic Information Systems manager at the Highland County GIS-Map Office, where he worked since 2015.
McKenzie, 39, said Wednesday he is looking forward to the challenge. He said that while he enjoyed working at the map office, the job could be "monotonous." He said his background in heavy construction makes him more accustomed to "controlled chaos."
McKenzie, a South Carolina native, moved to Hillsboro with his family a little more than two years ago. He currently lives on Roundhead Road with his wife, Caitlin (formerly Zimmerman), a Leesburg native, and three sons, Davis, Deacon and Dalton.
McKenzie, who will make $62,500 annually in his new job, said he worked for about a decade with a heavy construction company in South Carolina, supervising commercial construction jobs, including everything from an 8-story high-rise to strip malls.
McKenzie attended a morning department head meeting with the mayor and leaders of various city services, and then toured the town with Gary Silcott of Stantec Engineering, who has been filling in as safety-service director since the dismissal of Todd Wilkin last November. A wrongful dismissal grievance claim by Wilkin is still pending.
McKenzie graduated from Florence-Darlington Technical College in 1998 with an associate's degree in Civil Engineering Technology, and has worked as a field layout engineer, asphalt superintendent, land surveyor and survey manager for several general contractors.
"I'm looking forward to helping the city in any capacity necessary," McKenzie said in an earlier interview. "I'm excited about the opportunity and excited about helping the city grow."
When he announced McKenzie's hiring, Hastings said he was confident McKenzie will serve the city well.
"We had been looking for about four months," he said. "We didn't want to be in a rush to find a new safety and service director, and so our patience kind of paid off. We found someone who was local, which was for me an important consideration, somebody who had the background that complimented the rest of our public works team, and had the positive attitude we looking for… We're looking forward to it."

A portmanteau of "June and nineteenth," every year Juneteenth marks the complete abolition of slavery in the state of Texas on June 19, 1865.
President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, to be introduced at the beginning of January 1863. It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the 10 states still in rebellion, freeing around 3 million of the 4 million slaves in captivity at the time.
Texas, even after military war had ended, refused to comply with the proclamation. There were still well over 250,000 people held captive for almost 3 years!
On 18 June 1865, Union General Gordon Granger, along with 2,000 federal troops, arrived in Galveston, Texas, to take possession of the state and enforce the emancipation of the men and women still in captivity. The announcement of "General Order No 3", read by Grander, was made on 19 June, now known as Juneteenth.
To learn more details about the history of Juneteenth, take a look at the short videos below.

« 'LIT', a poem by Andrea Cohen
'A Cancer Landscape' »
Schizophrenia: a stage production
I saw this fascinating play recently at the Battersea Arts Centre http://www.ridiculusmus.com/shows/on-tour/eradication-schizophrenia-western-lapland/
The production was simultaneously challenging, perplexing, moving and utterly absorbing. The piece was inspired by a radical treatment – dialogically based, inspired by the philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin – for schizophrenia that has seemingly virtually eradicated the condition in Western Lapland.
The play concerns four characters, a mother, her two sons, and a doctor/psychiatrist. All compete to speak and to be heard, all demanding our attention. It is never absolutely clear who is mentally ill within the cacophony of words and dialogue, but that may well be the writers' intention. There is also an intriguing sense of something relatable about any 'craziness' witnessed. The resulting polyphony – even chaos – usefully reminds us that we are actually observing life as we probably witness it everyday, where we cannot be sure what is real, what is unreal, what is 'normal' and 'acceptable' behaviour and thinking, or not, including that which we ourselves act out in our daily lives. Definitions of mental health are at best fluid and inconsistent, and perhaps we all at times spend time at either side of the shady borders of psychosis.
The production involves a staging of two halves, not in the sense of merely being divided into two acts, but as two separate stories happening simultaneously on stage. Although aware of another story on the periphery, one's focus is primarily directed towards the narrative directly in one's gaze. After the interval, the audience switched to the other side of the auditorium so that you then directly experienced the alternative narrative. This may sound confusing, but it in fact added to the sense that life, its people and its stories are complex and chaotic, both real and unreal at the same time, and our interpretation of same is largely context-driven.
The writers state that 'Our aim is to de-stigmatise and normalize psychosis and ultimately engage you in a quiet revolution in social interaction.' This they achieve, working within the principles of the Lapland dialogical approach to treatment where uncertainty is allowed and a polyphony of voices flourishes.
The production challenges audience expectations using the technical device of switching space, stories and perspective in the second half of the performance. The play also questions what might be expected from an audience. There is no room for passivity here, audience involvement is pretty much demanded.
Unsurprisingly, there are references to the words of the psychiatrist RD Laing, who was associated with the anti-psychiatry movement and wrote extensively about psychosis, focusing on feelings as expressions of lived experience rather than mere symptoms of mental illness:
"I experience you and you experience me."
"I see your behaviour. You see my behaviour. But I do not and never have and never will see your experience of me."
This funny and tragic play moved and troubled me. Most of the time, I was unsure what exactly was unfolding on stage. Life was happening, I guess, equally troubled, unpredictable, inconsistent, indefinable, frightening, and at times joyous.
The production will have a short run at The Albany Theatre at the end of February. If you can, don't miss.

Killian C Quigley says:
Nice one – I love that the audience actually gets up and moves from one side of the auditorium to the other.
Thanks Killian. Yes, quite extraordinary how changing one's physical location markedly altered perspective although the story remained essentially unchanged. Also interesting as an audience member to physically do something that was necessary for the completion of the performance.

Lucerne Valley Elementary Leads District's Enrollment Increase
By LVUSD Social Media
The Lucerne Valley Unified School District is experiencing its highest enrollment numbers in years with the elementary school leading the way. October's district-wide enrollment was 860 students with Lucerne Valley Elementary School at 494.
Over the last five years the elementary school's enrollment grew each year from an average of 387 in 2016-17 to 420 the next year followed by enrollment of 453, 475 and 494 students in October 2020. But on November 12th, the day of the monthly school board meeting, Lucerne Valley Elementary School's enrollment climbed to 500.
"Going from 387 to close to 500 in five years is close to 30% growth," Superintendent Peter Livingston said. "Tremendous job. Kudos to the elementary school. That's exciting news!"
Unlike previous years when district-wide student growth fluctuated, 2020-21 has seen a steady climb.
"We did not level out like we did in the past years," Livingston said, adding that the district enrollment numbers had risen to 867 on the day of the meeting. "Instead, we continued an upward trajectory."
After finishing the 2019-20 school year with 834 students, enrollment virtually picked up at the same spot beginning the 2020-21 school year at 831. Soon after the school year began the elementary school became one of the first in the state to reopen to a hybrid schedule of in-class and distance learning.
Peter Livingston was hired as school district superintendent in mid-2015.

Socceroos skipper Milligan calls time on international career
Socceroos
By Vince Rugari
Socceroos captain Mark Milligan has called time on his international career, severing the last remaining link to Australia's golden generation.
Milligan was a member of the Socceroos' last four World Cup squads, getting on the field in the last three and racking up 80 caps in his 14-year career with the national team.

The 34-year-old bows out ranked equal eighth, alongside Luke Wilkshire, for the most international appearances made by an Australian player.
Handed his debut by Guus Hiddink in a pre-World Cup friendly against Liechtenstein in June 2006, Milligan has been a fixture throughout the Socceroos' most successful era and played a variety of important roles - including centre-back, right-back and in the midfield - under every coach since.
In recent years he emerged as a key leader for the team, becoming the 56th man to wear the captain's armband for Australia against South Korea in July 2013, and went on to skipper the Socceroos on 19 occasions.
"It has been a privilege to be involved with the Socceroos over the last fourteen-odd years," Milligan said. "To be able to represent my country over that time is above and beyond anything I could have dreamed of."
"It hasn't always been smooth sailing – it was always going to be difficult to try and break into a squad full of Australian superstars. But I was given a chance, and just to be involved with players from Australia's golden generation and learn my trade from them was an absolute gift that I will be forever grateful for."
Born and bred in Sydney and a product of the now-shuttered Australian Institute of Sport program, Milligan had toyed with international retirement after the Asian Cup but opted to play on with the Socceroos through this year's opening qualification fixtures for the 2022 World Cup to provide a degree of continuity to coach Graham Arnold's team during a transitional phase.
Arnold said Milligan will be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever pull on the gold jersey.
"Not many players can claim to have represented Australia at four World Cups, three Asian Cups, a Confederations Cup, as well as an Olympic Games," Arnold said.
"When you add in his tremendous club career, which includes two Hyundai A-League Championships, a Premiership, and a Joe Marston Medal, it is clear that Mark's contribution to Australian football over a long period has been significant."
Milligan will continue his domestic career with Southend United in England's third tier, for whom he has made 19 appearances in all competitions since joining them in July.
As for who might succeed Milligan as Australia's next permanent captain, goalkeeper Mathew Ryan and forward Mathew Leckie appear to be the two most obvious options - both of whom are still young enough to continue playing through to Qatar 22, assuming the Socceroos are good enough to make it there.

In Pennsylvania, children age 12 and under must wear a helmet when riding a bike. Adult are not required to wear a helmet, but wearing a helmet is a good idea for any bicyclist. Head injury is the leading cause of bicycle accident death in Pennsylvania. A helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent.
Helmets don't prevent bicycle accidents, but the right bicycle helmet can be an important source of protection in a crash and it can reduce the severity of injuries. However, choosing a bike helmet isn't easy. Bike helmets are available in wide variety of styles and price ranges. How do you know that the helmet you choose will provide the protection you need?
You want a bicycle helmet that fits well and will provide plenty of protection in an accident. To choose a safe helmet, follow these tips from the bicycle accident attorneys at Petrelli Law.
Choose a helmet that is certified to meet minimum safety standards. Choose a helmet that has been certified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the Snell Memorial Foundation (higher standards). Certified helmets will have a sticker inside.
Try the helmet on. Helmets come in many sizes. Don't buy a bicycle helmet until you know that it fits properly. The helmet should fit snugly and cover the top of your forehead. The straps should make a V shape under each ear and the chin strap should fasten below your chin. The helmet should not move more than one inch in any direction when fastened. You may have to use sizing pads to adjust the fit.
Make sure the helmet allows you to see. Take a good look around in all directions. If the bike helmet blocks your vision, it isn't the right helmet for you.
Choose a helmet that will help you be seen. We recommend a bright colored helmet with reflective trim.
A bike helmet is an investment in your safety. If properly cared for, a bike helmet will last five years. However, you should throw out your bicycle helmet and replace it with a new one after a bike accident. While the helmet may look undamaged, the impact of the accident can affect the internal structure. The helmet may not be able to protect you in a second crash.
Petrelli Law represents injured bicyclists in Pennsylvania. Please call (215) 309-4034 to schedule your free case evaluation. There is no obligation.

Skinny Labelling on Generic Drugs Does Not Avoid Induced Infringement of Patents Covering Non-Indicated Uses
GLAXOSMITHKLINE LLC v. TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS USA, INC. [OPINION] – PRECEDENTIAL
Before Prost, Newman, and Moore. Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware
Summary: Evidence of inducement for a method of administering a drug is not limited to the indications of use on a generic drug label. Promoting a generic drug as equivalent to branded drug may be sufficient to induce infringement of a method covering use for which the generic drug is not indicated.
GSK sued Teva for inducing patent infringement based on its sale of a generic for carvedilol sold under GSK's brand Coreg®. GSK's patent for the compound expired in 2007. Here GSK accused Teva of inducing infringement of GSK's patent covering the method of using carvedilol to treat congestive heart failure. Teva sold its generic version with a "skinny label," that was indicated for some but not all the indications for which the branded drug is approved. Teva's skinny label indicated use for hypertension, but specially carved out and did not reference congestive heart failure. A jury found Teva willfully infringed and assessed damages. The district court granted Teva's JMOL motion of no inducement based on a lack of evidence that Teva actually caused physicians to directly infringe a patent directed to the method of treating congestive heart failure.
The Federal Circuit reinstated the induced infringement verdict and damages award. The court rejected Teva's argument that it did not cause cardiologists to directly infringe because the doctors already knew of carvedilol and its uses before Teva's generic sales. The court found that Teva's promotional materials, press releases, product catalogs, FDA labels, and witness testimony all stating that Teva's generic was equivalent to Coreg®, were substantial evidence of inducement. The Court stated that "when the provider of an identical product knows of and markets the same product for intended direct infringing activity, the criteria of induced infringement are met."
Judge Prost dissented. She noted that Congress specifically recognized the practice of skinny labelling for exactly these circumstances.

At first sight the works of Ivano Vitali and Joan Hall appear to address quite diverse aesthetic concerns. Their working methods are notably different and include cutting with a scalpel for one, and careful tearing for the other: active attack on the one hand and pensive consideration on the other (the viewer can decide which is which). On closer observation, however, the crossovers of conceptual, technical and formal elements allow the works to converse and converge on many levels. The obvious elements that connect both bodies of work are paper - both handmade and recycled - and a means of construction using intertwined and knotted lines to create their sculptures.
Joan Hall has long produced prints and sculptures created from handmade paper and her work brings to mind the long history and flexibility of this beautiful medium. Combined with paper she also uses discarded flotsam, frequently picked up on various beaches or found floating in the ocean.
Ivano Vitali creates objects from mass media paper, newspapers, journals, and the like. These "found" papers are carefully fabricated into various threads and yarns, which become the basis for his sculptures. His artistic work is closely linked to the historical Italian tradition of fine craftsmanship and the materials are reminiscent of Arte Povera.
The work of both artists resonates with the metaphorical power and unexpected beauty of discarded daily ephemera to visually communicate overlapping concerns about the fragility of our world, the environment and the conservation of our planet.

Mohamed Salah will respect Ramadan?
The West Ham club from West Ham could soon host an FC Barcelona player. In any case what reveals Friday the site of Mundo Deportivo, for whom Marlon Santos, central defender loaned to OGC Nice this season, could fly to England.
With another year in the Blaugrana jersey, the Brazilian central defender played a few games at Camp Nou, including one in the Champions League against Celtic Glasgow.
If West Ham really wants the player, he will have to negotiate with Nice where he is still on loan, but especially with FC Barcelona, with whom the English leaders have recently made contact. And good news for the Hammers, Barça would like to separate.
Before the final of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp spoke about his match with Zinedine Zidane and defended his French counterpart ... as well as his own person.
The two-time defending champion Real Madrid will attempt to win a third consecutive record-breaking title in the Champions League, and win the trophy for the 13th time on Saturday night (8:45 pm) in Kiev against Liverpool.
Reds who will not present themselves as expiatory victims. "Real Madrid will be more confident than us at the beginning, but the match does not stop there, we had two weeks to prepare, they are very strong, but they have never played against us, we are Liverpool. a good team, but a team with a DNA to do great things. "
The exit is from Jürgen Klopp, interviewed on the eve of this shock at a press conference. The German technician then spoke about his match with Zinédine Zidane, "one of the best footballers of all time, a brilliant coach, who works with his group as a Swiss watchmaker. It's fantastic football, it's organized when it needs to be, and the same goes for chaos, but it's still football and there are opportunities for the other team, and that's enough for me. "
The former Dortmund coach has also defended his French counterpart ... and himself on the way. "If people think that Zidane has no tactical knowledge - and they think the same thing about me - it would be really funny because that would mean that the two coaches of the final know nothing about it tactically. would that be like our sport? "he said.
A few days earlier, "Zizou" was questioned on the same subject, and played, as often, the card of modesty: "I'm not the best coach, I'm not the best tactician. Other arguments I have a philosophy ... The desire, the passion, the motivation, I have all that, it has a lot more importance. "
Unai Emery, just named coach of Arsenal, would have views on Emil Forsberg. According to Sports Expressen, the Gunners would have contacted the offensive midfielder in Leipzig.
But the German club would like to retain the Swedish international (26 years), author of 5 goals and 4 assists this season, and could also offer him an extension of the contract.
The London rulers, in competition with those of Juventus Turin and Atletico Madrid, are likely to have to bet at least 50 million euros to have a chance to enlist this summer.
The news would undoubtedly delight Didier Deschamps: Nabil Fekir could be fixed on his future club before the start of the 2018 World Cup, in which he will participate with the Blues. According to The Guardian, Liverpool would like to complete his signature before kick-off of the World Cup.
The Reds, who will recover 80 million euros through their career in the Champions League, which they will play the final against Real Madrid on Saturday night in Kiev, would count a lot of this envelope in the recruitment of the French striker OL (24 years old).
A practicing Muslim, Mohamed Salah scrupulously respects Ramadan despite the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
This was assured by his relatives in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm. The ancient Roman should eat just before the kick-off, the sun setting a few minutes before. And it will be the same for his partner Sadio Mané, also a practicing Muslim.

Jesus had changed my life. I was demon possessed. In fact, seven demons lived in me. They were intent on destroying me. When I met Jesus, he cast the demons out. He freed me. I become a follower and tried to help whenever I could. I often provided material and other resources he and the disciples needed.
I was in Jerusalem that week. I remember waking up and hearing the news that Jesus had been arrested. He was in Pilate's palace. As I made my way there, we heard he was being taking out to be crucified. How could this be? He had done nothing wrong, but he had stirred up hate and distrust in the hearts of the religious leaders.
I made my way to Golgotha. I found Mary and John there. We stood together was we watched Jesus die. It was almost too much to bear. Then a man came and took Jesus' body. We found out the man's name was Joseph of Arimathea. He placed Jesus' body in a tomb, but because it was close to the Sabbath, there was no time to properly prepare it for burial.
After the Sabbath, on the first day of the week, Mary, her sister, and I made plans to go to the tomb and properly take care of Jesus' body. It seemed like on last way we could serve him. As we walked, we wondered how we were going to get into the tomb. There was no way we could move the stone form the entrance.
Being a follower of Jesus has never been easy. It was especially hard that last week of his life in Jerusalem. And it was doubly hard for someone like me, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a member of Sanhedrin Council.
Like most of my colleagues on the Council, I had spent some time investigating Jesus. At first, I was skeptical of this actions, motives, and teachings. But the more I listened and watched, the more my views of Jesus changed. Eventually, I came to believe in his message. More importantly, I came to believe in him—that he really was the Son of God and the Messiah we had been waiting for.
I became a disciple of Jesus, but I was a secret one. I didn't reveal my beliefs to be colleagues. I would lose my job. I would lose my power and influence. I hoped at some point that others would see what I saw. I hoped that enough of us would come to believe in Jesus that we could help him and protest him. That never happened.
The night Jesus was arrested, I was devastated. I wanted to do something, but it seemed impossible. My one voice was not going to make a difference. So I sat quietly and watched. It made me believe in Jesus even more. When they took him to Pilate, I thought it would end there. Jesus had done nothing to earn the death penalty, but I misunderstood the atmosphere and the influence the Council could have on people.
Jesus was led to the Golgotha and nailed to the cross. As he hung there, I realized I could no longer keep silent. It was time to be a true disciple and reveal my beliefs. I went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. I did not want him to be buried in a pauper's grave. I had just purchased a tomb and I wanted to honor Jesus by burying him there. It was then that I learned Nicodemus was also a disciple. He brought the burial spices. Together we finally served Jesus in sad, but real way.
Jesus was my baby. He was my gift from God. He was my boy. From the time the angel brought the message that I would give birth to the Messiah, I knew this child was special. How special he was became abundantly clear the night he was born in Bethlehem. The shepherds showed up and told of the angels and how they announced his birth. A few years later the wisemen arrived and told how the star had led them to Jesus.
I watched my little boy grow up. In so many ways, he was just like all the other boys, but in so many ways he was also different. He loved the Scriptures. He loved worship. As he became a man, I knew the time would come when he would have to leave and pursue his purpose of the earth. Like any mother, I hated to see him go, but I knew he must.
I was so proud of all the things Jesus did. He helped so many people. He taught so many wonderful things. I was so surprised when I heard he had been arrested. I hurried to be close by. I was distraught when Pilate sentenced him to death. I stood as close to his cross as I could—joined by Mary Magdalene and John. I wanted to touch him, to comfort him, but the Roman guards would have none of that. He looked down and he saw me. I could see the love in his eyes. I hoped he could seen the same in mine. He told John to take care of me and he told me to take care of John. Then, in just a little while, he was gone. My baby was gone. He was only thirty-three years old.
Every time God did something special in my life or in the life of Jesus, I would ponder it. I would place them in my memory bank and come back and think about those things from time to time. Now, as I stood near the lifeless body of my son, I thought back on all those things. Surely there had to be more, but what?
I've always been a light sleeper and I've always been an early riser. So that Friday morning I was already started stir when I heard the commotion in the street. People were running down the road. They were shouting to one another. It seems that something was happening at Pilate's palace.
I dressed quickly and made my way to my observation bench. It seems that during the night someone had been arrested by the religious leaders and they had sent him on to be judged by Pilate. Soon the man's name was revealed. It was Jesus. So this was going to be how all this played out?
I decided to make my to Pilate's palace. A crowd was already there and was getting larger by the minute. This big of crowd this early could only mean the religious leaders were stirring the pot and rousing people of our their beds.
I begin observing the people what were there. Many of them were people I had seen just a few days earlier when Jesus rode into town. But today, they were different. There was no joy, no celebration, no excitement. Today there was anger, harshness, and hate. Spurred on by the religious leaders they were demanding Jesus be crucified. I wondered if any of them had any good reason for making this demand, but was afraid to ask.
You could tell Pilate was uncomfortable. He clearly did not believe Jesus was guilty of anything deserving death, but he was afraid of the crowd. He became very nervous when they threatened to give Caesar a bad report about him and accuse him of treason. The crowd grew larger and larger. The shouts grew louder and louder. A full scaled riot seemed inevitable, so Pilate gave him. He ordered Jesus to be crucified.
It appeared that Jesus was going to be crucified not for his actions but because of the actions of others. As it turns out, that was exactly the way God planned. It.
The three years we had spent with Jesus were amazing. We saw him do incredible things. We got to listen to his life-changing teachings and we had the opportunity to ask questions. I can say that he had truly changed my life. With every passing day I was becoming less Simon, the pebble, and more Peter, the rock. With every passing day I learned to love Jesus more. All I wanted to do was honor Him and make Him happy.
When we shared the meal in the Upper Room, I was deeply concerned by some of the things Jesus said. It seemed that one of us was going to betray him and we all wondered who it was going to be. I wanted to make sure Jesus knew it was not me (and everyone else to know for that matter). So, I told him that no matter what the others did, I would never forsake him. Jesus looked at me with sad eyes. He told me I was about to be sifted by Satan, but he would be praying for me. He said I would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. I held fast with my promise.
Later that evening, we went to the Garden of Gethsemane. We had just finished praying, (actually Jesus prayed and we slept) when a mob appeared led by Judas. They had come to arrest Jesus. I wanted to prove my words in the Upper Room so I took out my sword and swung in at one of the mob. I meant to take off his head, but I am a fisherman not a swordsman, so all it got was his ear. Jesus told me to stop, healed the man's ear, then went off with those who had come to arrest him.
I followed Jesus from a distance. They led him to home of the High Priest. With John's help, I made into the courtyard. Then it happened—not once, not twice, but three times someone asked if I was one of Jesus' disciples. Each time I denied it. Just after the third time the rooster crowed. About that time, they lead Jesus out. He looked at me. I was crushed.
That night I was sure, Jesus could never use me. But I was wrong, He could and would still use me.

Q: How can I import data owned by people who are not Salesforce users? I am migrating to Salesforce.com from an on premise CRM system. I have a large amount of historical data relating to users who have now left my company. I need to bring this data into Salesforce and retain the information about who originally owned these records. I have a regulatory obligation to record and maintain this information.
I would like the owner of the record to point to an inactive user record representing each historic user. In that way I will have a consistent way of reporting on who did what when.
However I cannot load data into Salesforce and assign it to inactive users. It appears that I must activate the user, load the data and then inactivate the user without reassigning their records. This poses a problem because I don't have enough licences to cover all current and historic users.
I could break the data load down into batches based on owner to fit within my licence limit but this would be rather time consuming.
I have considered adding custom fields to the relevant objects to store the historic user information but I dislike that solution because it is not as tidy as using the Owner field. I and my users would have to look in two places to determine who was the owner of a piece of data.
I have considered using Chatter Free licences for the inactive users but such users cannot own these records.
I could use Chatter Plus or Force.com One App licences but I would have to request these from Salesforce which might incur an extra cost. So I am reluctant to do so.
Are there any other possible solutions that I could consider?

A: I would suggest your first solution.

*

*Import users that are no longer with your company

*Import Data related to users in step 1

*Deactivate users from the step 1

*Import all other users

*Import Data related to users in step 4

Tip! You can call SFDC support to temporarily deactivate the created date thereby retaining your historical created records.

A: Salesforce can grant what they call "courtesy licenses" for a brief period of time for migration projects if you ask them nicely for just this case.  I know this from direct experience.
I would imagine they'd be especially supportive if you're a new customer moving off something else.

A: It's now possible to migrate data with inactive users (as of Winter '16) here are the release notes about it:
Migrating data to Salesforce and mass updating records just got easier. Now you can set audit fields when you create records through the API and update records with inactive owners without contacting Salesforce.

A: Will Salesforce temporarily (for a week or so) increase your User limit just for importing data? They do other things when it comes to data import, like allowing you to set Created Dates so you can accurately import historical information so they may allow this.
Otherwise I would recommend doing this in batches and avoiding custom objects; I think custom User objects would cause many more headaches down the road than it is worth, especially when it comes to reporting. It might be more tedious, but it would be worth it.

A: One approach would be to create users, load data, and inactivate, in batches - but that would take longer as you've pointed out.
If you must have a homegrown solution :
The other quick (and possibly) dirty solution would be to create your own User (or more aptly named Legacy User) Object, and load in all your inactive users. (Load in the UserId from the legacy system as an External Id column, so that it can be matched on)
You will need to create a lookup on all the Objects that you're migrating data into, to this Custom Legacy User Object.
Use External Id to map the Records being loaded to Legacy Owner Records. As for the Record Owner, this could just be a Data Admin or similar user with a Role, depending on whether or not you would like for users to be able to see those records.
The other extreme end of the spectrum of course is just to add a text field on all object, which has the name of the Legacy Owner. The advantage that a Custom Legacy Owner Object provides is the ability to capture details such as Job Role, Leaving Date, and other information that might be relevant.

Each year, come March, I ask our oldest daughter what she'd like for a birthday treat. Never once has she requested any kind of a traditional birthday cake. In recent years, we've done Fudgy Mini Brownie Fruit Pies with Almond Cream Cheese, Snickerdoodle Cupcakes, brownie towers, and make-your-own ice cream sundaes. I love the variety and fun that Hatti's ideas bring to our table of celebrating.
Hatti has been wanting to make whoopie pies for a number of years now, and I have no idea why it took so long to finally make some in our own kitchen. These Whoopie Pies with Fluffy Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cream, Hatti's 2013 birthday treat of choice, are some kind of milk guzzlin' fun!
The chocolate cakes are soft and tender, and not particularly sweet. They make the perfect means to deliver that fabulous sweet and marshmallowy peanut butter filling to your mouth. We even made our own homemade marshmallow cream for the filling…these whoopie pies were so much fun!!
…those sweet dark eyes, all Daddy, gazing back at us.
*Note: These whoopie pies are a bit smaller than traditional whoopie pies. I just can't eat those gigantic things, and so much ends up getting wasted. If you want larger pies, you will need to adjust the size and add some baking time.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with Silpats or butter the baking sheets. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt until combined.
In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk and vanilla.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, on medium-high speed, beat together butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. If using a handheld mixer, beat for a couple extra minutes. Then add egg and beat until well combined. Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour, scraping down side of bowl occasionally, and mixing until smooth.
On your prepared baking sheets, spoon mounds of batter (equalling a generous 2 tablespoons each – this will give you a nice large pie that isn't overly huge), leaving close to 2 inches between mounds. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched, about 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cakes cool on baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring with a thin spatula to a rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, with a mixer at low speed, combine marshmallow cream, peanut butter, butter, and salt until well blended. On low speed, beat in powdered sugar, alternately with cream, until smooth and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
Place a tablespoon of peanut butter marshmallow cream onto the center of one of the flat sides of a cake, and then spread the cream almost out the edge. Top with another flat side of cake and press very gently, spreading the frosting out just a bit more to the edge. Repeat with remaining cakes.
Chocolate cakes portion adapted slightly from Gourmet. Fluffy Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cream from a farmgirl's dabbles.
Stay tuned! Later this week I'll share the easy and delicious recipe we used to make homemade marshmallow cream!
I'm with your girl, I'd rather have these whoopie pies than a boring old cake any day. Had I dreamed as a kid that such a thing as peanut butter marshmallow creme existed, I would have asked for it for my birthday!
Oh yum! My kids never ask for a traditional birthday cake either — my oldest asked for a carrot cake for his birthday last week.
What a great idea! I've been making quite a few Whoppie pies lately, and never though of peanut butter for the filling. Great idea! Happy Birthday Hatti!

Love your choice of a birthday treat.
Can you believe it? 11 years old?!
So sweet! Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter! These whoopie pies look like the perfect way to celebrate!
Not only do these look delicious, but I love your photography. The polka dots, the orange ribbon, the whole thing. So great!
Your Whoopie Pies looked awesome and I will be watching for your homemade marshmallow cream recipe.

The little candle make these so cute! What a perfect little birthday treat for a little lady. and Uh….yum! I'm looking forward to that homemade marshmallow cream! Happy Spring!
Hello, gorgeous little peanut butter treats. What a lucky daughter you have! Happy Birthday to her!
Beautiful photos and those pies look so tasty!
They grow up way too fast! I hope Hatti enjoys her day and these whoopie pies!
Happy birthday, Hatti! What a great way to celebrate. I love these, Brenda!


One of the structures in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem caught fire on Monday night at the same time a massive blaze was ravaging Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral. The fire was put out quickly with no injuries reported, RT said.
Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the third holiest site in Islam, accommodating up to 5000 worshippers. The mosque was built on top of the Temple Mount, known as Haram esh-Sharif in Islam. Muslims believe that Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the 17th month after his migration from Mecca to Medina, when Allah directed him to turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca.

Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement.
Appeals Judge in Falls Church made Final Decision on behalf of Social Security Commissioner on Monday, June 23, 2017. Appeals Council Action verified Senior Alien's Employment History to discover that Non-Immigrant Alien worked secretly for U.S. Government without obtaining valid, legal, Employment Authorization Document and without signing legally binding Contract. Social Security Commissioner's Instructions refer me to JOHN, Chapter 19, verse 5.
Appeals Council Judge, just like Roman Governor Pilate, delivers Final Decision that involves no further action other than Crucifixion demanded by People of Jerusalem.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Saint Jerome prepared a plan of atonement through fasting, and incessant prayers. Behold The Man who died for man's sin.
Pilate's announcement, "ECCE HOMO" appears in the Latin version of Bible called VULGATE, the official biblical text of Roman Catholic Church. Saint Jerome, born. Eusebius Hieronymus Sophronius, translated Septuagint ( Books of The Old Testament) and later New Testament Books into Latin in the 4th century. Saint Jerome recommends the attitude of Penitence, the state of being penitent; repentance which implies full realization of one's sins or wrongs and acceptance of punishment imposed in willingness to atone for sin or wrongdoing. Senior Alien unwittingly worked for the US Government without demanding issue of legal, valid, Employment Authorization Document or Contract. He has to follow in the steps of Saint Jerome to pay for his sin through fasting, and incessant prayers. Saint Jerome beats his chest with a stone held in his hand as an act of Self-Punishment.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died to save man from sin.
Saint Jerome recommends Self-Punishment as an alternative to retirement plan which involves use of Public Trust Funds.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. Live Life with attitude of Self-Punishment.
Saint Jerome was clearly inspired by Jesus Christ's Supreme Sacrifice. Jesus did nothing to avoid His trial and punishment.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. REPENTANCE.
Senior Alien was given a clear choice and was free not to work for the U.S. Government has not issued legal, valid, Employment Authorization Card or Contract to perform secret service. To repent for his wrongdoing, Senior Alien has to work without receiving monthly retirement benefits.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement.Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. ATONEMENT.
Saint Jerome's attitude of Penitence calls for Patience and Perseverance without which Self-Punishment is impossible.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. Saint Jerome defines Sacrament of Penance.
God condemned Adam to live by sweat of his brow until he returns to dust from which he was taken. Disobedience or wrongdoing attracts penalty.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work for Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. Self-Punishment demands Patience and Perseverance.
Senior Alien prepares to lead Life imposing Self-Punishment with commitment to Patience and Perseverance to reach the Final Destination.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. Man has to choose between Slavery to God or Slavery to Sin.
Senior Alien expresses remorse and is willing to change his own ways. Saint Jerome's Vision calls for full realization of consequences of one's own actions.
Social Security Commissioner's Final Decision – Withhold Retirement, Work For Atonement. Ecce Homo – Behold The Man who died for man's sin. Life in Free Nation comes with Choices, 1. Slavery, and 2. Prisonhood.
For Senior Alien, Life in Free Nation comes with Choices, 1. Slavery, and 2. Prisonhood. Man is free to choose between Slavery to God, or Eternal Condemnation by Slavery to Sin. Saint Jerome guides Septuagenarian Senior Alien to Discover Septuagint. Man is not Born Free. Man is not Born Equal. Man has no Freedom. Man has no Choice. Man must be Subservient to God's Will at all times.
Social Security Commissioner's Instructions – Septuagenarian Discovers Septuagint.
On Monday, June 23, 2017, APPEALS COUNCIL, ODAR, Falls Church, VA issued Notice of Action on behalf of Social Security Commissioner.
These Instructions helped Septuagenarian, Senior Alien to Discover Septuagint. Senior Alien is not Free to Choose. Senior Alien has to live and work as per God's Plan; God's Purpose in man's life.
Septuagint derives its importance not simply as a work of Greek translation of Hebrew Bible. This Greek translation is known to Jesus and Apostles for they quoted its prophetic statements.
Social Security Commissioner's Instructions have to be interpreted as Fulfillment of Esaias' Prophesy.
Isaiah 6:8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, Here am I. Send me! Isaiah 6:9-10: He said, Go and tell this people: 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed. God's instructions seem strange on the surface. This person is the nation of Israel. It sounds as if God's instructions for Isaiah are intended to make the people of Israel calloused and blind. This is not so – God does not seek to harden hearts or blind people. This is a matter of preaching light to the darkness for the purpose of revealing the darkness in people. If someone is sick and therefore needs healing, the healing can't really begin until the one who is sick realizes he/she is sick and is in need of healing. So it is for millions of lost souls out there – many of them don't know they're lost. Jesus asks us to share the gospel to not only reveal Himself to them, but also reveal His light on their darkness – making them realize the need for salvation. That is the essence of Isaiah's instructions.
This world and people have chosen darkness and hence their hearts hardened, they hear, but cannot understand, they see, but cannot perceive. Notice of Appeals Council Action, Instructions of Social Security Commissioner from Falls Church represent fulfillment of Isaiah's prophetic statement.
It is no surprise to know that appeal for review requested by Septuagenarian has fallen on deaf ears; the problem is not that of sense perception of Hearing, it speaks of 'Hardened' or 'Calloused' Hearts.
Social Security Commissioner's Instructions – Septuagenarian Discovers Septuagint. Social Security Administration – Notice of Slavery Award. Nonimmigrant Alien's Letter to The Appeals Council, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia, 22041. Social Security Act, Section. 202(y) Unconstitutional.
I am sharing this letter to invite Law School Students to review the request sent to Social Security Administration, Appeals Council, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia, 22041. This Claim for Disability Insurance Benefits uses principles drawn from Natural Law, Constitutional Law, Labor Law, apart from dealing with aspects of Social Security Law and Immigration Law. I spoke to at least twelve different attorneys to get some basic understanding of Social Security Law and Immigration Law. I will appreciate if you can decide this issue like a Juror and I am hopeful that I included all relevant portions of a Decision dated 04 December, 2015, proclaimed by Social Security Administration, Administrative Law Judge, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, Livonia, Michigan, 48152.
Social Security Commissioner's Instructions – Septuagenarian Discovers Septuagint. Social Security Administration – Notice of Slavery Award. Nonimmigrant Alien's Letter to the Appeals Council, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia 22041. Social Security Act, Section. 202(y) Unconstitutional.
1. I am (Claimant), writing this letter to request the Appeals Council to review the action, dated December 04, 2015, (Decision) of Social Security Administration(SSA), Administrative Law Judge, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, Livonia, Michigan 48152(SSA/Livonia ODAR).
A. Decision is unlawful for it is not consistent with 'Applicable Law'.
B. Decision refuses to give attention to 'Applicable Law' and thereby demonstrates Contempt of Law.
18, Chapter. 77 indicating inability to interpret 'Applicable Law'.
D. Decision is formulated by Social Security Program Operations Manual System (POMS) (Refer to RS.
00204.020C.4), online "SAVE" Query which is flawed. POMS is not designed to verify Lawful Presence of Nonimmigrant Alien who receives 'Benefit' when 'Application' is registered by DHS, 'Benefit' granted by Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) under Confidentiality Provisions, Title 8, CFR, Part 245a.21, and Family Unity Provisions, 8 CFR, Part 245a.30, Public Law 106-554.
Law that demands Equal Treatment under Law.
F. Decision revolves around redundant, superfluous, and unnecessary argument about Lawful Residency whereas Claimant filed Benefit Application (Confirmation Number 29541272) on June 26, 2014 claiming no citizenship or Legal Residence Status.
G. Decision fails to analyze factual evidence that supports Lawful Presence of Claimant with reference to Title 8, CFR, Part 1, Section. 3.
i. Claimant never claimed either citizenship or lawful resident status. Decision is not consistent with factual evidence already known to SSA or shared with SSA.
ii. SSA's Notice of Award dated August 16, 2014 suspending monthly payment imposes condition called Compulsory Service, Labor Against Will, Forced Labor, Involuntary Servitude, Slavery, and Serfdom as defined by U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 77, Section. 1581, Section. 1584, and Section. 1589.
iii. This suspension of monthly benefit payment fails to meet the standards for Equal Treatment at Workplace. US Labor Law in principle demands Equality of Treatment of all Employees irrespective of their nationality, or country of origin. Labor Law provides protection to hourly wage earners in respect of Wages, Earnings, working conditions, occupational injury, occupational disease, Disability, and Retirement Income Benefits. For Labor consumes short hours and days of life, aging and its related consequence called senescence acquired under influence of time spent laboring demand Equal Protection sanctioned by Law. SSA need to discuss this Claim with US Department of Justice, US Department of Labor and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to ascertain if the Notice of Award is consistent with US Laws.
ii. Claimant claims the benefit of Right to Life granted by the US Constitution, Supreme Law of the Land. As such, there is no dispute about Claimant's Physical Presence in the US. For this reason, US Constitutional Law is 'Applicable Law' to settle this Claim.
iii. Claimant states that he is not a convicted felon and SSA's action violates Bill of Rights protection granted by the 13th Amendment.
Nonimmigrant Classification of INA, Section. 274a.12(c)], or by a resolution in a Federal Court of Law in accordance with Law that sanctions due process.
v. Claimant submitted a written summary dated November 07, 2014 to SSA-Livonia ODAR stating that immigrant status (Lawful Permanent Resident or Temporary Resident Status) is not required to file Claim for Social Security Benefits, and presented evidence in proof of Lawful Presence. This evidence includes, documents to show Claimant is registered by DHS (Refer to INA Section. 245A, registered Application Form I-687L and I-485) and given Alien Registration Number, documents to show Claimant's compliance with requirement of Change of Address Notification (Refer to 8 CFR, Section 237(a)(3)(A), documents to show Claimant's Nonimmigrant Classification, and Category such as 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(22), and 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(24), the Section of Law(INA) that defines the basis for Alien's US Lawful Presence.
vi. Claimant could not present himself at his hearing on October 28, 2014 for he is not a 'free' citizen. He requested SSA-Livonia ODAR to obtain permission from the Government to authorize alien's personal appearance. SSA ignored his request.
This statement lacks legal validity for it cites Law that is not applicable to this Claim. In fact, Law has provisions to pay Social Security Benefits to certain Nonimmigrant Aliens 'Lawfully Present' in the country.
The statement found in Social Security Act displays Contempt of Constitutional Law. Section. 202(y) of Social Security Act is founded upon false presumption of infallibility of bills enacted by legislation in the US Congress and signed into Law. The Appeals Council may kindly grant me permission to test and verify Constitutional validity of Social Security Act as amended.
The statement is not consistent with 'Findings of Fact' discussed in subsequent paragraphs of this part of Decision. The statement has no merit and can only be described as false utterance. Further, Claimant submits that SSA field offices issued valid, current Social Security Number during August 1986, October 1986, February 1987, December 1988, February 1989 and September 1990.
i. For the purposes of Title 8, U.S.C. 1611(b) (2) only an alien who is lawfully present in the United States means: 2. "an alien who has been inspected and admitted to the United States and who has not violated the terms of the status under which he or she was admitted or to which he or she changed after admission." AND, 4. "An alien who belongs to one of the following classes of aliens permitted to remain in the United States because DHS has decided for humanitarian or other Public Policy reasons not to initiate removal proceedings or enforce departure." 4. (iv) "Family Unity beneficiaries pursuant to Section 301 of Public Law. 101-649 as amended.
ii. Grant of Family Unity Benefits provides a period of Authorized Stay Such That the Beneficiary Is Not Accruing Unlawful Presence within the Scope of INA Section 212(a)(9)(B). This Authorized Period of Stay begins as of the date the Application Form was filed. Accordingly, a Family Unity Beneficiary will not accrue Unlawful Presence as long as he or she retains Family Unity Protection.
iii. Title 8, CFR, Section 245a.37 describes rules for 'Termination of Family Unity Benefits.' Para(2) reads, "The Beneficiary commits an act or acts which render him or her ineligible for Family Unity Benefits under the LIFE Act Amendments;" Para(4)(b) describes 'Notice Procedure' to Terminate Family Unity Benefits. "Notice of Intent to Terminate, and of the grounds there of shall be served pursuant to the provisions of 8 CFR 103.8. Any Final Decision of Termination shall also be served pursuant to the provisions of 8 CFR 103.8. Para (4) (c) describes Effect of Termination of Family Unity Benefit. "Termination of Family Unity Benefits under the LIFE Act Amendments shall render the alien amenable to removal under any ground specified in Section 237 of INA including those grounds described in Section 245a. 34(a). In addition, the alien will no longer be considered to be in a period of authorized stay by the Attorney General as of the date of such termination." INA requires Attorney General to advise in writing (Notice of Intent to Terminate) a determination prior to termination of Family Unity Benefit.
iv. This Claimant continues to stay in the United States maintaining 'lawfully present' status without accruing 'unlawful presence' until and unless Attorney General makes decision and communicates in writing any change in that Benefit. There is no reason to speculate any action as per procedure given in INA Section 245a.37 (4) (b) and provisions of 8 CFR 103.8. As of today, Claimant's Lawfully Present status remains the same as it was on July 28, 1986 or March 14, 1990, or on February 22, 2003.
i. Claimant shared information in respect of his Employment History, from September 1969 to July 1986 with DHS Immigration Officer at Detroit on February 22, 2003 during videotaped Interview, and with SSA to file this Claim.
e. Paragraph 5 of Decision in its conclusion reads, "Such statements are not favorable to Claimant's credibility with regard to his allegation that he is a lawful resident, but instead intimate that he is, in fact, currently an illegal immigrant waiting for that status to change by law."This Claimant will demand 'Lawfully Present' Status if the US Public Policy places controls and extends the period of stay. Refer to Title 8, CFR, Chapter 1, Section 3, and Paragraph 4.
This entire statement is inconsistent with facts discussed in Paragraph. 2. Apart from inconsistency, the statement clearly reflects the need for Review of Decision by the Appeals Council.
It is transparent beyond all reasonable doubt to suggest that Decision is not legally valid for its conclusion fails to relate to 'Applicable Law'. There is no evidence to show Claimant is accruing Unlawful Presence in the United States. On the contrary, it will be utterly ridiculous to suggest that a duly inspected and admitted Nonimmigrant Alien registered by DHS is Physically Present in the United States paying Federal, State, Social Security, and Medicare Taxes continuously since 1986-87, could be deriving the Benefit of Unlawful Presence from Provisions of Legal Protection duly sanctioned by Immigration and Nationality Act.
In conclusion, Claimant requests the Appeals Council to uphold Benefit Provisions of INA that account for Lawful Presence of Nonimmigrant Alien whose period of stay in the country gets extended due to Public Policy reasons.

On Thursday 16th December 1845, five Loreto sisters arrived in Gibraltar. Having travelled for 8 days on a ship called The Royal Tar, they spent the night on board before being rowed ashore the next day. They were accompanied by the Vicar Apostolic of Gibraltar, Right Reverend Henry Hughes.
Bishop Hughes had raised the standards of education for boys and turned his attention to developing education for girls. He approached Mother Teresa Ball – Foundress of Loreto in Ireland – who agreed to send the first Loreto Sisters to the Rock.
On Wednesday 17th December 1845, the sisters were transported by carriage from the quayside down Main Street to the Cathedral. The bells rang in welcome, troops lined the streets and a group of dignitaries welcomed the nuns to Gibraltar.
175 years later, their legacy and tradition continue unbroken in the Loreto Convent School of today.
As GBC Open Day falls on the same day as the arrival of the nuns, we will be donating £1,750 to mark the 175 years Loreto has been in Gibraltar.
The Loreto crest will be projected on to the Moorish Castle on the 16th and 17th December to mark this historic event.
In school, we will be talking to the children about this important historical event and working on projects to mark this year over the next 12 months. To get celebrations off to a flying start, Ms Sciacaluga, supported by Mrs Simpson and past pupil Conor McGibney, have prepared a video treat for you.
With a huge thank you to all the teachers, staff and pupils for taking part, we hope you enjoy the Loreto Convent School response to the Jerusalema Challenge.

A timeline of James Harden's final 24 hours in Houston
James Harden's trade to Brooklyn brings an end to his standoff in Houston.
Michael C. Wright
James Harden heads to Brooklyn after eight-plus season in Houston, where he blossomed into one of the NBA's best players.
The Houston Rockets finally granted James Harden's trade demand Wednesday, reportedly moving the disgruntled guard in a blockbuster four-team deal involving the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers that sends him to the Brooklyn Nets for a package of players and picks.
Among other assets, the Rockets received Nets guard Caris LeVert, who was subsequently moved to the Pacers in exchange for Victor Oladipo. Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince will leave the Nets for Cleveland in this deal, while the Rockets land Cavaliers guard Dante Exum and Brooklyn forward Rodions Kurucs.
In addition to the players, Houston receives Brooklyn's first-round picks in 2022, 2024 and 2026; a Milwaukee first-round pick; and first-round pick swaps with the Nets in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Per Charania, all four first-round picks and all four first-round pick swaps sent to Houston are unprotected.
How did we get here, you might ask?
Here's a look at how Harden's remarks Tuesday after Houston's 117-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers sent a slow-moving Rockets trade train barreling into Wednesday's blockbuster chain of events.
Lakers laugh Rockets off floor in blowout win
This clip of LeBron James in the second quarter highlighted an embarrassing Rockets loss to the Lakers that sent them spiraling toward the bottom of the Western Conference standings at 3-6.
Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder revealed after the game that James' no-look 3-pointer came as the result of a bet made in the middle of the game.
"I told him to bet a Benjamin on it, so he shot it," Schroder said. "Shot it and turned around and said: 'Bet.' Then, it went in. It's just legendary."

— NBA TV (@NBATV) January 13, 2021
The loss marked the first time since Dec. 6, 2018 that no Rocket scored 20 points or more.
"I'm not gonna say there was a lack of fight or a lack of competitiveness," Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. "But we didn't bring the right intensity to the game."
Harden: Team isn't good enough
Harden took it a step further once his time came to address the media, and wasted no time levying harsh criticism of the Rockets in the wake of the fourth loss in the team's last five outings.
Harden finished with 16 points on 5-of-16 shooting with six assists, marking the fourth straight game he didn't produce 20 points more for his longest such streak since 2012. That didn't stop Harden from unloading on the Rockets, which had just dropped two games in a row to the Lakers by a combined 35 points.
"We're just not good enough," Harden said. "We're not even close, honestly, to that team – obviously the defending champions – and to all the other elite teams out there. You can tell the difference in these last two games. Obviously, chemistry, talent-wise, everything, and it was clear these last few games. From the beginning of the game, they were just aggressive, veteran team, obviously, a championship team, and one of the best teams that we have in this league."
"I love this city," Harden added. "I literally have done everything that I can. This situation is crazy. It's something that I don't think can be fixed."
Wall: It's hard when players don't buy in
Harden abruptly ended his postgame availability after his scathing remarks, leaving new point guard John Wall to respond to the former MVP's criticisms of the team. Understandably, he was not pleased.
"When you have certain guys in the mix that don't want to buy in," Wall said, "it's gonna be hard to do anything special, to do anything good as a basketball team. In my 11 years I've been in the league, I've been on teams like that my first five years where it was all about me, me, me, me, not about the team. And that hurts, and it brings everybody down."
Wall later admitted to experiencing some chemistry issues on the floor with Harden.
"I think it's been a little rocky," Wall said. "Can't lie about that. I don't think it's been the best it could be to be honest. That's all I really could say."
Silas says Harden being kept away from team
A night to sleep on Tuesday's disastrous performance and Harden's critical remarks did little to assuage Silas' concerns regarding how the Rockets should proceed.
So, the team convened at the Toyota Center for practice on Wednesday without Harden in the fold.
"We felt it was best for James and the rest of the group for him not to come to practice today," Silas said.
Asked whether the club needed to resolve the Harden situation before moving forward, Silas replied: "You would think so. There has to be some sort of resolution, whether it's a complete buy-in at some level or some other way to get it taken care of. It's not an easy situation by any stretch of the imagination. But for a team atmosphere and the good of the team, I'll say everybody needs to be pointed in the same direction."
Silas admitted that Harden's criticisms Tuesday "were hard to hear, especially when you don't believe it and know it not to be true."
"You want everybody to be on the same page," Silas said. "You want everybody to be committed to each other on an NBA team. With how things have gone the last few days – actually for a while – I'm not sure [the relationship can be repaired]."
Cousins: Disrespect has been happening since camp
New Rockets big man DeMarcus Cousins implied that tension between Harden and teammates had been brewing long before the star guard voiced a lack of confidence in the club.
"Me, personally, I don't feel betrayed at all," Cousins said. "My interest is playing with John Wall to be brutally honest. With that being said, the disrespect started way before any interview."
"I don't feel betrayed at all. My interest was with playing with John Wall, to be brutally honest."

It all started back in early December, when Harden reported late for training camp. Before Harden could be cleared for work with the team, he needed to test negative for COVID-19 on six consecutive days. But during Harden's time away, pictures of the guard on a trip to Las Vegas circulated on social media, as did images of him attending a birthday party in Atlanta for rapper Lil Baby, while the rest of his Rockets teammates had already reported to training camp.
"Just the approach to training camp, showing up the way he did, the antics off the court," Cousins said. "I mean, the disrespect started way before. So, this isn't something that all of the sudden happened last night. With that being said, this is the nasty part of the business.
"I just feel like it's a way about handling business. He can feel however he wants to feel about the organization or whatever his current situation is. But the other 14 guys in the locker room have done nothing to him. So, for us to be on the receiving end of some of the disrespectful comments and antics, it's completely unfair to us.
"We've done nothing to him. We've only showed up to work just like everybody else and came in ready to work. It's completely unfair to the rest of the guys in the locker room."
Trade talks reportedly heat up between Philly, Brooklyn
With Harden sequestered from the Houston Rockets, the club's previously slow-moving trade talks intensified, according to Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic.
Silas said he spoke to Harden earlier Wednesday and admitted to enduring a sleepless night wrestling with how the team should proceed in the wake of the star guard's remarks. Those criticisms, no doubt, played a role in the Rockets accelerating efforts to move Harden after previously hoping he'd come around.
Despite all that had transpired, Silas spoke highly of Harden on Wednesday.
"James gave me a chance," Silas said. "I spoke to James before I was offered the job. That was the last domino that needed to fall in order for me to get this job. James was nothing but professional to me, and we've had some good conversations. So, as far as his commitment to me, it's been good, and just a crazy NBA situation. It really is.
"I know that all the questions are trying to kind of maybe finger-point or find a story in it. But it's really just one of those kind of all-around messed-up situations that's hard to kind of quantify and kind of wrap your mind around in figuring out the best way to have the group move forward. That's my job, and it was a sleepless night last night trying to figure out what the best way to do that would be."
Brooklyn lands Harden, adding a third star player

With the Nets releasing a statement on Tuesday regarding the absence of star guard Kyrie Irving, who remains away from the team due to personal reasons, the club solidified a contingency plan in case of an extended unavailability.
Either way, the trade for Harden makes the Nets a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. With Harden joining Kevin Durant and Irving in Brooklyn, the Nets now have three players who made the 2018-19 All-NBA First Team (Harden) or Second Team (Durant and Irving).
Brooklyn, reportedly, was one of Harden's preferred destinations all along. The deal reunites Harden with Durant, his former Oklahoma City teammate, as well as former Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, who worked with the All-Star guard for four seasons in Houston and is now an assistant on the Nets' staff.
Harden and Durant have captured seven of the last 11 NBA scoring titles and, according to Elias Sports Bureau, become the fifth pair of teammates in league history to play on the same team after winning multiple scoring titles.

One day excursion to CINQUE TERRE .
Drive 60 min. north to La Spezia, park your car in front of the railway station, hop on a train and in 10 minutes you are in 'Cinque Terre' (Five Lands): five miles of a breathtakingly beautiful rocky coast at the border of Tuscany and Liguria, framed by two promontories at each end.
Discover the incredible beauty of the five villages of Vernazza, Manarola, Corniglia, Riomaggiore and Monterosso, each built upon spurs of stone or laying in clusters along very small inlets. Walk along the winding paths overlooking enchanting beaches and bays, or admire the hundreds of miles of walls and terraces built by man to cultivate vineyards that cling steeply to the cliffs, making this region a true masterpiece where the work of man and natural beauty found an ideal balance.
The Cinque Terre region was declared a National Park in 1999 and has been protected by UNESCO as a unique natural environment since 1997.
You can also tour the region by sea by taking one of the many passengers boats which regularly serve the five villages from Porto Venere (La Spezia).


I've chosen to go with the third border option from the previous post, which I'm sure will give me fits as I try to swap out blue and cream pieces and keep it the pattern correct. But if you compare the piecing diagram in the previous post with the segment above, you might see a mistake.
See the two blocks the seam ripper is straddling? Well, they are reversed. The two star blocks shouldn't be next to each other, they should be on point to each other. So I ripped away and sewed them back correctly.
And here it is, correct this time. This section only measures about 44 inches (112 cm) on the right sides of the triangle. Since this will finish at about 100 inches (254 cm) on each side, you can see I have quite a long way to go. Right now this piece of a quilt is in our study, right behind where I'm sitting as I write this. I think I can squeeze in an extra row in the space I have available, but it will have to wait until Tuesday, which is my next completely free day. With the color changes that I'm making and the somewhat complex piecing diagram, I need to take this very slowly and carefully. So far, so good.
If you would like to see all of the posts on this quilt, just click here to view them.
I've made quite a bit of progress on the Blue and Cream Quilt since the last post. I've finished all of the small and large star blocks in both color combinations. Shown here and below are the 12 inch blocks. If you remember, the six inch blocks are just the inside portion.
I cropped the photos so much that you can't see the little pieces that need to be cut off from where the triangles are sewn onto the squares. To help with this and make sure all the blocks are the same size I've ordered the Omnigrid Ruler Value Pack, available at Joann, Walmart, Amazon, and many other places. The pack contains four square rulers two of which are 6.5 inches and 12.5 inches, perfect for squaring up the blocks in this quilt.
I mentioned last time that this quilt will be too small for my bed, so I was trying to decide whether to make it a square quilt or add a border. After measuring the bed again, I will definitely need the extra rows to make it square. Here I've added the total number of blocks that I need. I've finished all the stars on the left, now to start on the remaining five of Block X that I'll need.
This is a closeup of the quilt assembly, it looks pretty challenging, but I'll just have to take it very slowly and pin like crazy! I think I'll still need a bit of a border, so will have to think about that for a while. I may just get lazy and put alternating cream and blue triangles around the outside. I'll lay out the blocks and figure something out.
Ruth asked about starching the fabrics. I arrange the triangles on the ironing pad and spray with the starch, then iron until dry. This particular brand is clear and has a lovely fragrance, but I ran out some time ago and have been refilling the bottle with starch made from concentrate. See this post for details on how I make up the starch. If you do this sort of thing, it is much, much better to starch the fabric before cutting out, especially when working with triangles. Even if you are very careful, the triangles can stretch a bit, which can distort the shape of the block. Notice the iron shoe on the iron. I bought it when making my son's shirt to keep the fusible web from sticking, and it is very useful for that purpose. I finally took it off so I can get more heat onto the fabrics. I am keeping an old towel with iron cleaner on it and just use it every once in a while to keep the soleplate clean. The iron has a steel soleplate, not non-stick, so the starch does accumulate.
Update on the floor: everything is completely dry and most of the floor is removed. There are several holes in the walls, even the ceiling, that will need to be repaired and painted. This was so the plumber could isolate the offending pipe and blow epoxy through it. Luckily, it worked with only one application. They couldn't go into the concrete slab because it is a tension slab, which basically means that if it is disturbed, the structural integrity is compromised and the house could fall down. Scary!! The insurance is covering everything, thank goodness. The repair estimate goes to the insurance adjuster on Monday, they will cut us a check, then we can get on with the walls and floor. Right now all of the living room furniture is in the dining room, and everything is covered with a film of dust, which will only get worse. But at least the leak is fixed.

Ryan was born in a city on the west coast. As a child he avoided the outside world at all costs, choosing instead to sit in his room and stare at the walls until he was old enough to stare at the walls of a university.
After four years he got tired of staring at walls and decided to become a working creative.
This blog is about what happens.
Interesting stories, for sure! Glad to see someone else taking time to do what they actually want to do.
