American women have their own beauty standard. This is snow-white smile and groomed hair. Most of them prefer to have long hairstyle. It can easy be tied back in a ponytail. It is strict and appropriate, when a lady visits the office. The long hair can beautifully put and frame the face in informal places. Young girls prefer to cut their hair down to shoulders. Getting older, many of them stay with this hairstyle.
American women adhere dress-code working in the office, and are very uninhibited in clothing when they visit shops, cafes and other public places. You will never see an american in evening outfit and high heels, going to the market for shopping. The usual clothes for going to the store are jeans, blouse or cami, comfortable shoes with low heels.
A lady is not able to come at work with full makeup: it's just a little touch up eyes, slightly blush and face powder and skin tone. For the publication (guests, restaurant, theater), she uses a bright makeup and dress up accordingly.
Young african-american girls love bright makeup and even during the day, but their faces with black skin look always fantastically beautiful. They always have graceful movements, proud poise, beautifully coiffed hair of the plurality of braids.
There are a lot of single mothers, as a rule, among african-american girls get privileges and benefits from the state thanks to their children. This is enough for them to live on, never work and are not even going to.
American women are trying to get a prestigious job. This is a perfect way for those who has money to continue their education at the prestigious universities in the USA. A woman here can build a great career. American women do not hurry up to get married, believing that at the first is better make a career and then they can think about the family.
If someone in the family has a birthday party, females will not go for shopping, buy the products and cook at all. They will better order the food at the restaurant. It is hard to call them good housewives.

Insurance of personal, family and corporate property has become a big deal in the modern world. Nonetheless, auto insurance has been accorded more attention than the rest of the property. Several companies have resorted to provision of auto insurance services and have therefore numerous resources have been put aside for that. The number of insurance agencies keeps on growing every day and it has become very difficult for clients and customers to choose the best company to deal with. Let us talk about some of the most important things a client looks for when seeking insurance services.
There are two major classifications of auto insurance. There is the third party client type of insurance and the comprehensive cover type of insurance. The comprehensive cover is normally more expensive than the third party insurance cover. However, there are more services and situations covered by this cover as compared to the third party cover. If a client in any insurance company causes an accident and damages property, the third party insurance cover assumes responsibility of the damaged property not belonging to the client. If an accident occurs in the case of a comprehensive cover, the company takes responsibility of all the property involved.
When the client has identified the type of insurance cover that is suitable to them, they then consider other issues such as the employees in any company. All the employees have to be adequately trained for their tasks and professionalism is required every time they are at work. In addition to their academic qualifications, they should also have other virtues and life skills to help them in their line of work. The company should also take it as their responsibility to continually train their workers and keep them up to date with the latest trends in the industry. The reputation of a company largely depends on the attitude and effort of the workers in any company.
For any company to attract the highest number of clients, it has to make use of the latest technology available. One optimal method that most companies have used is the use of company websites. The services and products of any company are normally portrayed on these websites. The websites also provide a good platform for clients to communicate with the company.
Normally a customer support team is established to deal with any questions from the clients. The appropriate mode of payment and the mount required for any service is also sown on the website. Most of the agencies in Houston also show the directions to their offices on the websites. It is also important to select the right prices for a service in a correct manner. The cost should neither be too high nor too low. High prices normally discourage and chase people away while low prices may be used as an excuse to offering poor services. It then depends on each client to select the best price that suites them.

Jeremy Clarkson Crowned Worlds Greatest On Screen Automotive Icon
by Ben Walker April 22, 2020, 8:49 pm
Jeremy Clarkson has officially beaten Hollywood legend Steve McQueen to the crown of the worlds greatest automotive on screen icon.
McQueen is known as 'The King of Cool' thanks to his tough guy persona and dashing style is a completely different personality to Clarkson who was once voted as Britains most unfashionable man.
But when it comes to cars, Clarkson has topped the list – and we think for good reason with him being involved in some of the most memorable vehicle TV moments over the past 25 years. Whether it was driving to the North Pole, getting chased out of Argentina, driving across Botswana or many of the other adventures Clarkson and his co presenters have embarked on.
On the other hand, McQueen was known for such films as Bullitt, Le Mans and of course, The Great Escape. Both have achieved amazing feats during their independent careers but Clarkson has come out on top.
You can see the full list below including Hammond, May, Paul Walker and even Sean Connery:
1. Jeremy Clarkson
2. Steve McQueen
3. Richard Hammond
4. Vin Diesel
5. Sir Sean Connery CBE
6. James May
7. Paul Walker
9. Sir Roger Moore KBE
10. Jason Statham
The study, which was commissioned by Hyundai was put in place to see how petrol-heads across the world are keeping themselves busy in a time where just taking your car out for a spin, isn't allowed. Hyundai said:
"Steve McQueen is nicknamed The King of Cool and he's responsible for some of Hollywood's most iconic moments, whether it's the bike scene in The Great Escape or the famous chase in Bullitt. But he plays second fiddle to Jeremy Clarkson, whose legendary adventures from behind the wheel of a car have crowned him as our favourite automotive screen icon. The best cars and films are always the subject of fierce and fun debate and thanks to the internet and streaming services there is no shortage of shows and websites to keep us occupied."
Sir Sean Connery was one of three James Bond actors to make the list, with Daniel Craig hitting number eight and the late Roger Moore shortly behind in number nine.
At number ten is Jason Statham, who has most likely made this list for his work in the Transporter series and then the Fast and the Furious franchise.
Paul Walker, who was tragically killed in a car crash in 2013 came seventh in the list behind the Grand Tours very own James May who came in sixth.
According to a British survey, the best car film ever was the original Italian Job, followed by Bullitt and then the Fast and the Furious franchise. The Italian Job features one of the most popular car chase to ever appear in film – as well as this, it has also recently been crowned the most watched car film since isolation and lockdown procedures came into effect.
Moving over to the small screen now, Top Gear was named number one followed by Knight Rider and of course, The Dukes of Hazzard.
In terms of the greatest movie car, it comes as no surprise that James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 came top of the list ahead of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and of course Back to the Future's De Lorean.
As well as this, a OnePoll survey of 2000 adults found that people spent an average of around 50 minutes per week is spend browsing vehicles on classified websites such as Autotrader.. I have certainly spent the past few weeks browsing cars to the tune of much more than 50 minutes..
Taking us back to Hyundai, the South Korean car manufacturer has recently pivoted their sales strategy with its now relaunched Click to Buy tool, that allows users to spend hours configuring and customising their ideal car spec and then being able to order it online.
Hyundai have said:
"The internet has totally transformed the way we buy and sell products and consume media. Whether it's streaming our favourite shows, browsing the classifieds or configuring the perfectly-specced cars, there is plenty to keep car enthusiasts occupied. While the nation is being told to stay at home, Hyundai felt it was the right time to relaunch its groundbreaking Click to Buy website to allow motorists to choose their new car, spec it to their desired taste and arrange a finance package all from the comfort of their sofa."
Personally, we're dead pleased for Clarkson hitting the top of the list – well deserved!

World Of Warships Players Are In Open Revolt Over Shady Monetisation Schemes
Over 20 of the game's most prominent members have quit the official community program since the weekend

Free online wargame World of Warships has been on thin ice with its community for a while now, but recent events—including the botched return of a fan-favourite ship—have seen many of the community's biggest names quit the game's official community program.
Nintendo Showcase Standout Gunbrella Has The Best New Video Game Name Of 2022
It Looks Like A PlayStation Classic, But Your Grappling Hook Is A Frog
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Coolest Zone Is Easy To Miss
As MassivelyOP reports, developers Wargaming has in recent years slowly been changing the way the game's marketplace works, pushing more and more content behind loot boxes and random item unlocks that obfuscate a piece of content's actual dollar cost. This has frustrated a player-base that had grown accustomed to being able to either buy or grind their way into clear, desired purchases.
Tensions boiled over earlier this month, though, when Wargaming decided to re-release the famous USS Missouri, a WWII battleship that had previously been put in the game in 2016, then removed in 2018 after players worked out that its credit multiplier was breaking World of Warships' economy. Originally advertised as an item that could be bought with the game's purchasable currency, Wargaming then quietly shifted it to something that would only appear randomly in loot boxes.
This did not go down well. Wargaming's official Community Contributor's program has taken this as a final straw in an ever-strained relationship, and when some of its more prominent members—like MightyJingles, who has over 600,000 YouTube subscribers—announced plans to quit in protest, by the weekend 23 others had joined him.
MightyJingles' departure message reads:
I'll keep this short so as to not waste anyone's time. Being in the CCTP was a privilege in the first two years when the contributions we made were respected and valued and the feedback in both directions was something I was happy to be a part of. In the last three years, and the last year in particular, this has become a toxic one-way relationship that I'm glad to put behind me. It hasn't been any one thing...but a continued demonstration of the contempt in which Wargaming holds for this program, the icnreasingly aggressive monetisation and implementation of gambling mechanics into a game marketed to children as young as the age of seven and numerous other factors means that it's high time I admitted that I'm in a toxic relationship and got out of it with some self respect in tact.
After days of silence from Wargaming, the company has finally responded to the outcry on its official forums, saying, "We respect their decision and want to thank them for their contributions, devotion, and passion for the game and program over several years. We wish all of them best of luck and hope that they will stay in touch with us nevertheless, we will always be here to talk."
Wargaming then added, "We've been discussing this since last week and decided to add an alternative way to purchase the ship," and will "provide details on our Devblog soon."
The community reaction to such a brief response is...about what you'd expect.

Halloween in Oz fundraiser features Oz characters, games, prizes
By Ashley ChaffinStaff Writer | The Tuscaloosa News
Dorothy and her friends will follow the yellow brick road Sunday to the Moody Music Building for the fourth annual Halloween in Oz, hosted by the University of Alabama's Community Music School.
"It's a family-friendly, carnival-style event, so there are many activities that you'll be able to do," said Jane Weigel, director of the Community Music School. "We have flying monkey bowling, spider ring toss — events like that."
There will be prizes, from candy to other Halloween-themed foods to small toys, for each game.
Attendees will get the chance to meet the main characters from the "Wizard of Oz" movie by entering the Wicked Witch's Castle, visiting Good Witch Glinda's lollipop tree or going to see the Wizard. Weigel said that based on the age of the audience in the Witch's Castle, she'll be scary for the older children and friendlier for the younger children. Children will also be able to get their faces painted, play on an inflatable or play Halloween-themed games.
The fundraiser is a good way for people to learn about the Community Music School, Weigel said.
"We're always looking to make sure that our fundraisers bring awareness to our program," she said, "so we can look at this as way to bring new people to campus, show people the School of Music and all that we have to offer."
The Community Music School is a non-degree-granting program that serves students of all ages and abilities, according to its website.
"We're the outreach program for the School of Music. We provide music lessons and some ensembles such as the Youth Orchestra," Weigel said. "We sort of span the entire age bracket from infants in 'Kindermusik,' all the way through some retirees in the area who are in our adult strings classes."
She said the school's mission is to provide funding to help anyone with an interest in music who couldn't otherwise participate in enrichment classes or lessons. The Halloween in Oz fundraiser, along with other events during the year, help raise money for the Community Music School Scholarship Fund.
At Sunday's event, visitors will get to enjoy music from students and professors who are a part of the Community Music School. They will be playing the music for the cookie walk, which is their version of musical chairs.
Also, a former Community Music School student and current UA student in the School of Music will do a type of show-and-tell with the organ after the costume parade, which attendees are encouraged to dress up for.
Upon entry, everyone will have a chance to sign up for the door prizes as well as receive tickets to "spend" on games or activities.
The grand door prize will be four tickets to the School of Music's annual Hilaritas concert on Dec. 6.

Q: C# Async Wait - do I need wait? I have to retrieve results from two different methods/stored procedures and return combiled results. Is this the most efficient way to use Async Wait or do I need to also wait for both to complete before combining results?
public async Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> GetReports(int days = 0)
{
    List<Reports> data = new List<Reports>();

    List<Reports> AdHocdata = (List<Reports>) await GetAdHocReports(days);
    List<Reports> Pushdata = (List<Reports>) await GetPushReports(days);

    data.AddRange(AdHocdata);
    data.AddRange(Pushdata);

    return data;
}

A: What you're doing is fine, although it will wait for one report to finish before even starting the second one. If you'd like to run them in parallel, don't await the task until you actually need the data.
public async Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> GetReports(int days = 0)
{
    List<Reports> data = new List<Reports>();

    var x = GetAdHocReports(days);  //Start task, but don't wait
    var y = GetPushReports(days);   //Start task, but don't wait

    data.AddRange(await x);   //Wait for and get the data
    data.AddRange(await y);   //Wait for and get the data

    return data;
}

A:
do I need to also wait for both to complete before combining results?

You already are. Both awaits must complete before the execution reaches the AddRange calls. Note that this also means the awaits run sequentially: the next has not begun until the previous has completed.
If these two reports can be obtained in parallel, then you could use Task.WhenAll to do a single blocking await instead:
public async Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> GetReports(int days = 0)
{
    // The `System.Collections.Concurrent` classes are preferred
    // since you're accessing the object in parallel
    ConcurrentBag<Reports> data = new ConcurrentBag<Reports>();

    await Task.WhenAll(new Task[]
    {
        Task.Run(async () => data.AddRange(await GetAdHocReports(days))),
        Task.Run(async () => data.AddRange(await GetPushReports(days))),
    });

    return data.AsEnumerable();
}

A: This is what I ended up implementing but it looks like there is at least 3 good answers here. Thanks for all the ideas and feedback. It will definitely help me going forward.
public async Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> GetReports(int days = 0)
{

    Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> AdHocTask = GetAdHocReports(days);
    Task<IEnumerable<Reports>> PushTask = GetPushReports(days);

    Task.WaitAll(AdHocTask, PushTask);

    List<Reports> data = new List<Reports>();
    data.AddRange(AdHocTask.Result);
    data.AddRange(PushTask.Result);
    return data;
}

We've all grown accustomed to the importance of keeping up with accelerating customer expectations. So much so, that from jeans to jewels, from cars to carpets, shoppers' every whim is now catered for by ecommerce. Convenience is retailers' primary focus – creating frictionless opportunities to entice customers into placing orders. Shopping around the clock isn't merely a possibility, it's part of everyday life for many people. And much of that shopping takes place across national boundaries. Particularly in Europe. Whether you're ordering from Manchester or Milan, chances are you're having very similar purchase experiences. But what does RetailX'sresearch into what happens post-transaction tell us about how those experiences differ across Europe? Sean Fleming investigates.
Convenience is the watchword in retail. Making sure you never give a customer an excuse to walk away at the point of purchase is vital. From the moment they receive a marketing email, read a social post, or see an advert everything needs to make it easy for them to place that order. Whether it's clear signposting on your site, excellent product information, or a reassuringly secure checkout it all needs to keep the customer journey heading in the right direction. Once they've placed that order, you can relax. Or can you? Well, of course not. More than ever, what happens behind the buy button is dictating shoppers' future purchase decisions. Those retailers that make a feature of offering free returns are more likely to attract impulse buys than those who charge for returns, for example. Similarly, if you aren't able to spend a day at home waiting for a delivery, you may not want to purchase from a retailer that can only offer you home delivery somewhere between 8am and 7pm.
It's a consequence of a number of things, namely the expectations arms race instigated in no small part by Amazon, but as customers grow accustomed to expecting more, well guess what… they'll expect more. And more. If you fail to deliver – literally and figuratively – you risk missing out.
Having the option to have your order routed somewhere other than your home or work address is not particularly new, but across Europe the extent to which it is offered varies extensively.
Click and collect is far more common across most of Western Europe than it is in countries to the east who were later additions to the European Union. Three countries with the highest rates of click-and-collect availability are the UK (65%), France (62%), and Netherlands (also 62%). Take up here is way ahead of many EasternEuropean countries – Romania (32%), Croatia (32%), Lithuania (26%), Slovenia (26%) and Bulgaria (13%). Belgium and Germany are slightly behind the pack-leaders, with both countries registering 54% click-and-collect penetration. While market maturity certainly has a part to play in the prevalence of click and collect, that alone cannot explain away the different rates, with Luxembourg, by no means an emerging economy, also showing up among the lowest (30%).
The Top500'sweighted-averageuptakeofclickandcollectacrosstheEEA is 60%. A little more than half (51%) of the IREU Top500retailers operating in the Czech Republic offer click and collect, and of those 28% offer same-day collection, which compares favourably with the EEA weighted average for same-day collection – 18%.The UK, which is a leader in click-and-collect generally, also leads in next-day collection, which is an option offered by 43% of collection-friendly retailers.When it comes to the speed of collection availability, Polish retailers lead the way with the fastest service – 48 hours being the standard time until items are ready to collect. That's 19 hours faster than the EEA average of 67 hours, followed by Slovakia (62 hours) and the Netherlands (65 hours). In Romania, 41% of IREUTop500retailers allow shoppers to reserve online then collect and pay in-store, which is 25 percentage points ahead of the EEA average of 16%.
Home delivery is an abiding favourite across Europe. The maturity of the UK's ecommerce and home delivery market is evident – 55% ofretailers surveyedoffer next-day delivery. Next comes Luxembourg, which at 19% demonstrates the UK's experience in this offering. Both are ahead of the EEAweighted-average of 17%. Although gaining in popularity, same-day delivery is still not very widespread – an average of just 3% of the IREUTop500retailers offer it. Here, the UK and Greece sit at 5% just behind the category leader the Czech Republic, which leads the list with 7%.
Pushing the limits of convenience even further, Saturday delivery is led by the UK (24%) and Lithuania (8%), ahead of the average of 7%. It's a similar picture for Sunday delivery, where the UK with 9% and Lithuania with 4% are ahead of the EEA average of 3%. Again, nominated-day delivery is led by the UK (18%) and Lithuania (8%), ahead the EEA average of 6%.
Nominated-time delivery is still very much a minority undertaking across the IR Top500retailer base, led by the UK (7%) then Portugal, Croatia and Switzerland (all at 5%). The EEA average is also 5%.
Delivery costs vary across Europe, as does the order value threshold for free delivery qualification.
The EEA weighted median is €4.50.
The weighted median in the EEA is €42.
Returns are regulated by consumer protection legislation across the EU, particularly in relation to faulty items. But maintaining customer loyalty means going above and beyond, to ensure shoppers are not put off by onerous returns policies.Shoppers in Romania and Bulgaria are given a median of 30 days to make a return. Retailers in Croatia and Lithuania offer a 29-day returns window. Whereas in Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Finland, Germany, Austria and Slovenia it is just 14 days, which is the minimum required under EU law.
Returning online orders to a store is accepted by 69% of retailers in Lithuania and Croatia, 67% in Latvia, and 65% in Ireland, ahead of the EEA average of 44%.
The ability to return items to third parties is offered by just over a quarter of IREUTop500retailers in the UK (27%), followed by Belgium (17%) and Germany (16%). The EEA average is 12%.
This option was found atless than 1%of retailers in Bulgaria, Romania or Slovakia pointing to the lack of maturity in third-party collection networks.
Returns via pick-up from shoppers' addresses are relatively common in Croatia, Romania and Portugal (33%, 32% and 31%, respectively), considerably ahead of the EEA average of 14%. The data shows a variation in the maturity of delivery and collection services across Europe. There are some obvious leaders in some areas. The UK, for example, had a thriving mail order sector before the advent of ecommerce, andis an unsurprising leader in many aspects of delivery. Likewise, some UK retailers were offering click and collect many years before others had even adopted ecommerce. But across many developing ecommerceeconomies, particularly those in eastern Europe, lower costs and increasing convenience will combine to help propel customer interest. However, it may create a challenge that is familiar to many retailers in more mature markets, where increasing customer take-up fuels higher expectations for high-end service levels at cheap and near-free cost levels.

A place where people let go of their feelings and just talk, or sometimes they are speaking on the news and broadcasting what is happening around the world. However, broadcast can be split up into two words and just mean you have a "broad cast." Then what? Does that make it something completely different?
It is a puzzle: ezam ? Cannnot figure it out !
High walls around around the houses. Electric fences, armed security. Fear and suspicion. Life in the suburbs of Africa. Looking up I watch the clouds fly across the heavens, birds swooping joyfully. Wish I was up there.
He had been off the 'wagon' for just two days, but it got to him, the thirst, the dribble of moisture down the side of the cold beer. He slunk into the dusky bar and slaked his thirst. Oh well, two days is a record, tomorrow I will try again.
Fireworks ended the festival, although even this could not conceal the dark brooding violence seething in the slum.
I am at odds at what to write about this! ODDS. Space ODDitty. David Bowie?
Circus, place of animal cruelty. Forcing bored and tame animals to jump through a hoop of hell, flaming. The trainer, stupid in his arrogance thinks he is so clever but in reality a fool. The animals know better.
The cabin of the plane pitched and shook as the pilot prepared to land, swooping through the violent African thunderstorm until slipping and sliding across the hail strewn runway it safely came to a stop.
bee stings give me hives.
They made plans for a suicide pact. He had the courage to follow through, she did not and chose life. Somehow I think he understands as he loved her more than life itself.
They made plans for a suicide pact. He had the courage to follow through. She however, did not and chose life. Somehow I think you understands as he loved her more that life itself.
My decision to stay, help, will hinge on what? It is just that the poverty, sickness, crime and heaving masses, scare and overwhelm me here in Africa. However I am trapped, hedged in, I have to help, even one. There are so many starfish to pick up.
Fences, across the African bush, dividing up the land. The animals still migrate as they have done for eons, only to be blocked, caught, impaled on the fences of death. Their instinct to live causing them death. I weep.
Nelson Mandela, he embodies Liberty. He suffered so that his people, his country,, his nation could be liberated and face a new future. Wow, amazing. Thanks Madiba.
The small plane banked sharply to land on the dusty African runway. Children ran alongside waving and cheering. The village waited in anticipation. The doctor had arrived. The outside world seemed somehow closer.
The Lion gave a bellow of anger as it charged at its tormentors, tatty hyena's who dared try to take a piece of the kill. Defeated the hyena 's run away into the veld, tails between their legs screeching wildly.
I remember your slim Greek hands holding the accordion, fingers gently depressing the keys and the the gentle swaying of your body as you played the haunting melody.
'Watch me fly, bet you cannot catch me.' You said. You smelled of Kouros.
It took a long hike up the gorge cut deep into the Twelve Apostles the range running along the coast behind Table Mountain, but I did it and sweat soaked I reached the bench cut by nature into the solid rock, I sat and stared at the perfect sunset over the sparkling Atlantic ocean. Content.
It was over, the African storm. I sucked the clean, clear air into my lungs, rain washed. Thunder still rippled and slid through koppies and licks of lightening flicked through the heavens. Then silence and the sun broke through dark clouds. Quiet touched the land again.
You can do that, conceal your true intentions but against that backdrop of your conceit I still love you, painfully so, in your smile I see a glimmer of hope but even that is a lie. I adore you but that wound is too deep to heal. Time to move on!
White, such a bland colour. Yet I suppose you can fill its empty,empty space with rainbow colours.
They were her favourites but I always hated them, lillies they remind me of death. Funeral parlours, long stemmed in tall vases filled with pale water.

«It Ain't Over Till It's Over»
Speech from the Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada


I have been retired since last Feb 2018, at 65. I understand what you are feeling. It's cold here and the hills we live on are slippery in the winter.
In April last year I developed lung/heart issues while getting started on biking several days a week. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension, with 3 chronic blood clots in my lungs that constrict my use of oxygen by 25%. (and we live at 7500 feet elevation).
That's when I decided to get serious, and instead of taking it easy, make my health my "new job."
Since then I've ridden over 2000 miles (on an inexpensive trainer after November), and walked our mountain hills a couple times a week. I have sharp cleats for walking on the snow and ice.
I'm not sure my PH has gotten any better, but I'm losing weight and feeling much stronger. My goal this year is to ride RAGBRAI, the 450 mile bike ride across Iowa in late July, with my 3 sons. My latest goal.
Most of all, my mind isn't going bananas. I spend most of the day on the internet learning and researching. I do feel like I'll do something outside the house later. I've had job offers that anyone could do (hardware store, etc), and when I do decide to spend time that way, it will be something part-time and simple. No take-home stress.
If I had any recommendations, it would be to recognize that this is an opportunity to protect your body by getting stronger, in better shape, and not let anything stop you. But not many seniors go this direction (gotta be a bit of a rebel).
Hey David, I bet you feel great everyday! Don't do too much and don't forget to rest!
Kudos to you for taking charge!
Losing weight and being a stronger retiree has so many life benefits!
Instead of slowly losing strength like most retirees do, you've chosen to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. You and only you can make that choice, instead of feeling sorry for your diagnosis.
You have a wonderful attitude on life... So very thrilled for you!
p.s. Maybe later you will (instead of a job) start your own Senior Walking/Biking group locally. It could be a club or it might be with you as the Walking/Biking Coach.
I would bet some retirees would join you, fee or not, with your enthusiastic approach to get them more motivated! It's not easy to stay motivated alone!

Don't believe the fairy-tale mythology that sports promote
Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan shrugs after sinking a basket to set a new points record for scoring in one half of an NBA finals game during first half play against Portland in Chicago June 3, 1992. Mike Blake/Reuters
By Domonique Foxworth	@Foxworth24
"Hard work, dedication, and sticking with the process" is how Toronto Raptors All-Star guard Kyle Lowry responded to reporter Doris Burke's postgame question, "What went into getting you here?"
While I am sure those things played a role, the most influential factors in Lowry's journey to the Eastern Conference finals were out of his control. And that is true for the star of Lowry's conference Finals opponent, LeBron James, and every other star in the NBA.
That fact aside, sports fans and media will spin a fairy-talelike mythology around a select few players, as if they have absolute control of the outcome of a game. Sometime in June, a new NBA champion will be crowned. That team will receive the Larry O'Brien trophy and be showered with champagne and praises of their virtue. Redefining the character of that team's stars will build a narrative around them that recognizes no flaws and recasts their quirks and idiosyncrasies as assets.
Without knowing which team will win the title or who will be the Finals MVP, I can already tell you the tired tropes the media will force-feed each other and serve to players in the form of questions, during postgame news conferences.
The champions, as this narrative goes, will have begun this season feeling disrespected and carrying a metaphorical chip on their collective shoulder. Fueled by previous failures and a supernatural perseverance, the story's protagonist, the team's star player, will have won because he wanted it more and outworked every other team's star player during the offseason. We may decide that the champion coach outsmarted the other bench's general or they won because of an uncommon bond among selfless players.
Maybe the unlikeliest of all NBA playoff scenarios will happen: Lowry will lead the Raptors past the Cavaliers and on to defeat the Western Conference representative, winning the NBA title. Lowry will be launched into the upper echelon of stardom. That nearly forgotten scene of Lowry shooting alone, in the empty Air Canada Centre, after a Game 1 loss to the Miami Heat, will become an enduring memory of the 2016 NBA playoffs. That seemingly made-in-Hollywood scene would be perfect to cherry-pick and become a major plot point in this basketball drama.
If we end up with one of the three more likely champions, the narrative would be no less whimsical. James, driven by a tough loss in last season's finals and public favor shifting from him to Golden State Warrior Steph Curry, wanted it more, outworked everyone, dug deep and willed his team and the city of Cleveland to its first major sports title.
Injured and practically forgotten for much of last season, Oklahoma Thunder forward Kevin Durant was driven more than ever before and outworked everyone, dug deep and took his rightful place atop the NBA. Curry and the Warriors, scorned by the chatter discounting last season's championship as luck, outworked everyone, dug deep and proved themselves not to be a fluke, but maybe the best ever.
Actually, luck was a major factor last season, but no more than any other season. But there is no room for randomness in our processing the heroic story of the champion.
Yes, the stars do have a disproportionate impact on the game, relative to other players, but as any athlete or coach will tell you, the outcome of a game is decided long before the game begins. Some will have you believe the naive notion that games are decided by who works the hardest and has the most passion.
The less romantic, but more accurate explanation is that there are an unknowable number of events and decisions. They are made by countless people, years and worlds away from the NBA Finals, that create unpredictable circumstances that lead to a new champion.
It is impossible to fully understand the galaxy of things acting on one another to give us a finite event. It is disingenuous to depict that event as the result of a simple equation. Just because x is more than y does not mean that z is the greatest player of all time, or a choker.
This is also true of our lives.
Your station in life is more a result of things out of your control than your hard work or talents. As you read this from your spacious corner office atop a Manhattan skyscraper, from the screen of a cellphone in an impoverished country, from an antiquated monitor in a public library computer in Indiana, or while you sit in your Ivy League classroom pretending to take notes, remember there is no difference between you and the people whom you deem more or less successful.
Contrary to what the world will have you believe, the differences between billionaire businesspeople and criminals, world leaders and the poor, iconoclast and outcast, is less the dedication or virtue of the accomplished and more about luck.
Those of us who consider ourselves successful could easily tell the movielike narrative we've woven around our lives. It would highlight formative periods of our youth, detail the obstacles we have overcome, remember the doubters and competitors we surpassed. With a little effort, we could just as easily tell a story with serendipity as the theme, focusing on the unforeseeable results of your choice to go to a certain school, introduce yourself to a stranger, or quit your job.
Michael Jordan is not the best basketball player of all time. He is the luckiest.
Yes, as far as talent and achievement are concerned, he resides in the rarest of company, but he is no more committed, determined, or talented than other less-acclaimed basketball greats. It is often said that he made his teammates better, but little credit is given to the fact that his teammates made him better and made many clutch plays that defined his legacy.
He had no control over the team that drafted him, the players and coaches with whom he was teamed and the life journeys that brought those players and coaches to the NBA. Yet, we remember and discuss him as if he willed his way to greatness, no matter the elements of his environment.
We don't acknowledge the impact of the media and the marketing of Jordan on how we think of him. Even the sudden death of his father changed the trajectory of his career, sending him away from basketball.
I know most will receive this as blaspheming a basketball god. But I think what I am saying is reasonable, even obvious.
Jordan is great and deserves a tremendous amount of credit for capitalizing when given the opportunity. But the idea that, given similar circumstances, another player could not have accomplished as much or more, seems absurd.
Just as absurd as ignoring all the influences on a single game that are not caused by the star, such as the bounces, the rebounds, the referees' calls and more.
For most, the immortalized image of Jordan is one of him hitting a game winner, but for me it's "The Shrug."
In the first half of Game 1 of the 1992 NBA finals, Jordan set the record for most points scored, against the Portland Trailblazers, the team that famously drafted Sam Bowie with the second pick of the 1984 draft, leaving Jordan for the Chicago Bulls.
After Jordan hits his sixth 3-pointer, he turns to the fans and shrugs, as if to acknowledge that what is happening on the court is beyond his comprehension. Michael Jordan, the brightest star the NBA has ever known, seems to be keenly aware that he is the beneficiary of a multidimensional, complex system.
While many will watch the NBA playoffs looking for occurrences that support a traditional dramatic storyline, join me in writing the counternarrative. The narrative that focuses on plot points that don't support the hero narrative, on-court and off-court occurrences that illustrate how little influence the stars actually have.
And remember that no one controls outcomes in sports or life, no matter his title or talents. We can just be prepared and take the shot when we get an opportunity.

Each year, a Chicago nonprofit hosts the Youth of the Year Competition and Dinner event at Navy Pier in Chicago. The video production we create from that event is then distributed after the event on social media and on the web. Over 500 people attended the event. Everything was filmed with two DSLR cameras. We also provided various soundbite clips and b-roll to Chicago news stations, which aired the morning following the event.
To watch the other videos we produced that were played at the nonprofit event, CLICK HERE and HERE.
Chicago nonprofit organizations are always looking for creative ways to showcase how their services affect people's lives in video productions. These videos can be viewed on social media, a nonprofit organization's website, at a fundraising event…the possibilities are endless!

We produced a video story about Mercedes. Her parents were Mexican immigrants who moved to one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods. The streets were riddled with violence and gangs. Her brother was shot at. The list goes on. Mercedes found out about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, a nonprofit organization in her neighborhood.
We filmed on two days with a Sony A7Sii, which allowed us to film in a picture profile that allowed for maximum post production color grading. Our crew also included a field audio operator and Grip. On the first day of filming, we captured the soundbites with our subject as well as various b-roll shots around the club. On the second day of filming, we followed our subject around while working at the Chicago Fire Department. Post production services included editing, music licensing, color grading, and sound mixing.
The film was delivered to the client digitally to be shown at the nonprofit's fundraising event. After this video was shown at the event, over $1.4 million was raised! We also delivered separate versions for social media.

Burrow Brothers Royal Carpet
The Royal Carpet Factory operated in Guelph in a few locations starting off with 15 employees in a shop at the corner of Gordon and Essex Streets. At least two Burrows were involved at this time: Alvin and Harry. The company relocated later that year to part of Allan's Mill. However, the factory location best remembered was at the corner of Norfolk and Paisley where Market Fresh currently stands.
The Burrows factory offers a classic case study of a company that attempted to abuse what has always been a dubious practise - the bonus system. This involved petitioning the city for various concessions such as annual taxes, water, hydro, etc. Accompanying these "requests" was often the stated or implied threat to relocate the business elsewhere.
The Burrows Brothers petitioned and pressured the city several times during its existence. In 1891, they asked for tax concessions. If they did not receive them, they said they would relocate to St. Catharines. In 1893, they sought free water from the city, citing they needed it for dying purposes. The free water was denied.
In 1895, the city came up with its own demand. They told at least three businesses to install the proper drainage system for sediment. This meant they had to design and put into place a series of tanks. While L. H. Gemmell (who had a dye works on Wyndham Street) and Lee Wing (laundry) complied to this request after receiving it in June, the Burrow Brothers were still without tanks and were actually seeking help from the city in July of that year to design and install them.
The Strike of 1897
In June 1897, the Burrow Brothers were beginning to introduce a wage reduction. They said it was essential to combat the threat from American companies and other firms using power looms. This would reduce, according to the company and a local reporter, the workers' wages by 2 cents across the board.
While this does not seem much, it was a significant amount for workers in this era. Weavers made between seven and 12 cents a yard. The take home pay was between $7 and $9 a week. While the company thought this was sufficient recompense, the workers disagreed. They disputed these figures, pointing out that they were valid only if a weaver was employed in daily work all year round. This was not the case at Burrows factory. There were recurring "slack times," making it impossible for employees to make the optimal amount. As a result, most weavers were barely getting by on the old wage.
On June 15, 1897, 15 weavers went on strike when they discovered the latest apprentice was starting on the new scale. The men intended to hold out as long as possible. The strike dragged on for months. As the company chose to ignore their demands, most workers never returned.
The Galt Fiasco
Although Royal Carpet did not move to St. Catharine's – nor Breslau as they threatened in 1897, nor Owen Sound, it did briefly leave the city for Galt. In 1901, they became the Galt Carpet Factory under the management of H.H. Burrows. This operation was not a success. In 1902, the paper notes the Galt Carpet Company was sold by the Galt council to Mr. George Forbes.
Never Can Day Goodbye
Although the Burrows closed their Carpet Factory, they did not completely exit manufacturing. In 1917, Alvin R. Burrows and his son, M were involved with the Canadian Textile and Weaving Company located first on the West Side of Huskisson and later on Crawford. AR Burrows was the manager while ME Burrows was a bookkeeper for the firm. They continued association with this company and its variations – Canadian Textile Weaving Company, Lt. and AR Burrows and Sons, textile goods – until at least 1946. In that year, their plans for expansion including the production of towelling, towels and narrow fibres.
The Paisley Street building has since been the home for a number of industries including, in the mid to late 20th century, a warehouse for a wholesale grocery company – the Simpson Company (Robert Simpson) and National Grocers (1968). The Burrow's building was eventually torn down and rebuilt as a Red Barn in 1968. It is now a shopping plaza.

A High School for Chisansu
Home Posts More Church News A High School for…
Chisansu has a primary school but no secondary or high school. The only available high schools are several hours away down on the lowlands. Traveling this distance over difficult mountain roads renders helplessness to the secondary aspirants, especially girls to abuse and exhaustion. Lowland living would also expose Chisansu children to malaria which their bodies cannot fight as there is no malaria in the mountains.
The closest secondary school to the Misuku West area is at Kalenge which has an enrollment capacity of 40 students. The six feeder primary schools in the Misuku West have an annual enrollment of 800 candidates for the Chisansu high school.
The school will be built in two stages or blocks. Block one is a building divided into two rooms. One room each for freshmen and sophomores. Each room will have a capacity of 50 to 60 students. Stage two, or block two, will provide a similar building divided into two rooms, one each for the juniors and seniors. Block two will be scheduled for completion such that the sophomores from block one can progress into their junior year. Recent efforts at Church of the Holy Family are in support of block one.
Clearing of the site and digging of the foundation have been completed. The Malawi government has approved the need for the school. This ensures availability of a teacher for each block.

Q: Program to find numbers whose divisors, when added together, equal the original number I've recently focused on Python and I found an exercise that I can't find the answer to. I'm supposed to find the fourth number whose divisors equal the number when added together but I just want one that can find as many as it can.
Heres my code so far but I can't figure out where its wrong:
new_list = []
for dividend in range(1, number+1):
    for divisor in range(1, dividend):
        if (dividend % divisor) == 0:
            if divisor in new_list:
                pass
            else:
                new_list.append(divisor)
    if sum(new_list) == dividend:
        print(dividend)

A: If you're calculating separately for each number, then you'll need to reset the list in between numbers - wouldn't do to calculate all the divisors of, say, 15, and then move on to 16 and already have [1, 3, 5] sitting there.
So, move new_list = [] to just inside the first for loop.

Get Brexit Done? Be Careful What You Wish For.
December 16, 2019 Topic: Politics Region: Europe Tags: BritainBrexitBoris JohnsonPoliticsEuropean Union
A revolution in British politics is coming—but it will only happen when Brexit is finally settled, and its consequences are fully understood.
by Peter Harris Follow @ipeterharris on Twitter L
It is tempting to conclude that Boris Johnson has fundamentally reshaped British politics. With his stunning electoral victory last week, Johnson secured a majority in the House of Commons that, in ordinary times, would suggest up to ten more years (two parliamentary terms) of uninterrupted Conservative rule. It was a landslide that could easily auger not just a new relationship between Britain and the European Union (EU), which will be Johnson's first order of business, but also a wholesale realignment of the British electorate.
The European front will be the most straightforward for Johnson to tackle, at least at first. It has been three and a half years since Britons voted to exit the EU via referendum, yet since then Parliament has repeatedly failed to find agreement on the precise form that "Brexit" should take. Some Members of Parliament (MPs) have urged a quick and comprehensive break with every EU institution, both political and economic, while others have schemed to reverse the outcome of the referendum and remain inside the EU as a full member. Just last Thursday, the second, third, and fourth largest parties in the British Parliament (Labour, the Scottish Nationalists, and Liberal Democrats) all stood on platforms of putting the question of EU membership back to the people in a second vote.
Now that he is equipped with an unassailable parliamentary majority of eighty, Johnson is in a position to lead Britain out of its Brexit quagmire. There can be no more lingering doubts over the legitimacy of the referendum result. The various rearguard actions to stay inside the EU have each been defeated. All that remains is Johnson's government in possession of a clear mandate to implement the first (formal) phase of Brexit and to move onto negotiating the future of British-EU relations.
This much, at least, is clear enough. But the wider implications of Johnson's triumph for domestic politics are far more difficult to discern. On its face, 2019 is a prime candidate to go down in history as a "critical" (or "realigning") election. Working-class voters deserted Labour in droves, resulting in some sensational upsets in seats (districts) such as Leigh in Greater Manchester, which has never returned a Tory MP since its establishment in 1885 and was regarded as an ultra-safe Labour stronghold just two years ago. If these gains are sustained or expanded in future elections, then the Labour Party will enjoy no viable pathway power at Westminster. The Tories will be in the permanent majority.
Johnson was able to tear down Labour's so-called "red wall" (the urban centers of northern and central England) by tilting the country's politics to revolve around a Remain-Leave axis rather than the traditional left-right divide. Of course, Brexit was not the only issue at play during the election—the stupendous unpopularity of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was another obvious factor enabling the Tories' raids on Labour's heartlands—but the European Question was probably the most important feature of the campaign.
Until recently, both Labour and the Conservatives had been badly split on the question of how (or even whether) to implement Brexit. Defections of Tory MPs deprived Johnson of his parliamentary majority back in September of this year; a subsequent rebellion among those MPs who remained led him to seek a snap December election.
But Johnson stole a march on his political opponents when he purged his party of twenty-one disloyal MPs who had sought to delay or soften Britain's withdrawal from the EU. It was a bold and ruthless act that drew heavy criticism, but it ensured that the Conservatives would not be plagued by infighting or indecision when it came to European policy, and would instead be able to rally around a clear message of delivering Brexit as quickly as possible.
Wrapping themselves in the mantle of Brexit proved to be a winning formula for the Conservatives. The party became the obvious political home for voters of all political stripes who simply wanted to see Brexit happen without further delay. The Labour Party, on the other hand, pleased neither Leavers nor Remainers with its confusing promise to negotiate a new Brexit deal that would then be put to a public vote but without the endorsement of the government.
Johnson was helped enormously, of course, by the decision of the Brexit Party—a single-issue political entity created less than twelve months ago, which exists solely to campaign for a hard Brexit from the EU—not to stand against Tory incumbents. This allowed the Conservatives to go on the offensive, safe in the knowledge that their existing MPs would face an easier time holding onto office than their Labour counterparts. Sure enough, the Conservatives suffered few losses. But in district after district, the Brexit Party syphoned off enough votes from Labour incumbents to let Conservative challengers in through the middle. This was a critical factor in Labour's collapse.
But does any of this suggest that Britain is experiencing a lasting realignment of political loyalties?
There are big reasons to be skeptical. Most importantly, there is nothing to stop Labour's working-class deserters from returning to the party once Brexit has been implemented (at least in formal terms) and the Brexit Party has ceased to exist. Anecdotally, at least, it seems to be the case that many traditional Labour voters felt as though their party had abandoned them rather than the other way around.
Second, it is historically unusual for a Conservative leader to have success uniting his party around a common European policy—so much so, in fact, that this rare moment of Tory consensus should be regarded as a precarious thing indeed, and perhaps even ephemeral. As recently as two months ago, the Tories were so badly split on the question of Brexit that many observers predicted a fracturing of the party.
For the time being, Johnson's expulsion of recalcitrant MPs has bought the party some time. So, too, will his dramatic success at the ballot box. But divisions might yet reemerge once the reality of Brexit has set in. Especially with an expanded electoral coalition to look after, it will be difficult for Johnson to bridge the urban-rural, labor-capital, and north-south divides that now cut across the Tory fold. No formulation of British-EU relations will please both the financial sector and Britain's farmers, big business and blue-collar workers, the leafy shires and inner cities. Choices will have to be made. And with hard choices come political openings for opposition parties.
Much will depend on whether Johnson and his advisers fully grasp the relationship between foreign economic policy—in this case, the "final status" relationship with the EU—and the everyday fortunes of ordinary people. The simplistic slogan of "get Brexit done" suggests that they probably do not, and still consider European policy as something that can be pursued in isolation from domestic priorities.
It is possible, of course, that Brexit will be implemented in a way that bolsters the economic opportunities of small towns and former industrial areas, in which case the foreign policy goal of "getting Brexit done" will complement the domestic ambition to establish the Tories as the new party of the working class. But it will be a tall order indeed. More likely than not, any new set of political and economic arrangements across the English Channel will spell uneven distributive consequences for ordinary people, complicating the task of holding together a broad Conservative coalition.
For now, it is safest to say that Johnson has not yet remade British politics in a fundamental sense. He has won and won big, but there is no telling how long his broad-based popularity will last. To be sure, a revolution in British politics is coming—but it will only happen when Brexit is finally settled, and its consequences are fully understood. It is even possible that the door is left open to a Labour resurgence if a new trading relationship with Europe (or lack of one) results in a decidedly worse economic situation for much of the country, which looks likely.
Get Brexit done? The Conservatives ought to be careful what they wish for.

A Bit of Jeff Lore
The complete comments by our speaker at the Jeff lunch on April 7 will take all of today's space. Even if you heard these comments in person, I think they will still thrill you if you read them again. Dr. John Frederick is a Jeff alum, 1976, and it presently the Prevost and VP of Academic Affairs at UTSA (the University of Texas at San Antonio). Here goes:
Thomas Jefferson High School Class of 1954 Reunion
John H. Frederick '76
Thank you for the kind introduction, and good afternoon. I am very honored to be with you today to share some reflections on the great legacy of Thomas Jefferson High School and the power of education. As a 1976 graduate of Jefferson, and as chief academic officer at UTSA, where we are striving to create a top-tier university, these are themes very close to my heart.
Although I am a chemist by training, I have always loved to read about history, so I would like to start by considering the historical context of Jefferson High School's origins. From 1920 to 1930, the population of San Antonio grew by 43% to 230,000. At this time, the country was in the throes of the Great Depression, and San Antonio's two public high schools, Main Avenue HS (now Fox Tech) and Brackenridge HS were experiencing acute overcrowding, particularly Main Avenue.
To address the school overcrowding and in an effort to stimulate the local economy, the City of San Antonio passed a $3.7 million school bond that year to create a third high school on the far north side. Ultimately, one-third of the bond issue was devoted to the construction of Thomas Jefferson High School, an extravagant expenditure in its day. The school's Spanish-Moorish design by architects Adams and Adams includes elaborate stonework features carved by the Pianta family of artisans, a large 2000-seat auditorium (equivalent to the combined capacity of both venues within the Tobin Center), and many other decorative features in its interior. In short, San Antonio created a high school like no other in the country— and I think you will agree that it remains one of the most strikingly beautiful high school buildings that one will find anywhere in the world.
The initial group of 1,400 students chose the school's name, its colors (blue and red), and the mustang mascot, as well as many other time-honored traditions that survive to this day (including the Lassos, band, ROTC, etc.). Within five years of its opening in 1932, Jefferson High School was named the most outstanding high school in America, and it was featured on the cover of Life magazine in 1938 (March 7 issue). For all of us who remember Life magazine, we can appreciate what a really big deal it was to appear on the cover!
Over the years, Jefferson High School has produced many notable alumni in a wide range of professions, including public servants, journalists, educators, scientists, athletes, musical artists, and military leaders. Rather than recite a long list of names, let's make this fun! I will let you ponder for a few minutes the answers to the following Jefferson HS trivia questions:
Which high school in San Antonio is named for a Jefferson HS graduate?
Who is the biggest Grammy award winner from Jefferson since 2000?
Which Jefferson graduate has participated in presidential debates in the greatest number of election years?
What accomplishments by alumni give Jefferson HS a scientific distinction that is unique in the world?
Can you name the alumnus of Jefferson who is among the top ten lawyers in the number of cases argued before the Supreme Court since 1900?
While you consider these brain-teasers, I would like to introduce you to a couple of individuals who attended Jefferson High School during its first decade of its existence, Lillian Dunlap and John Silber. They are lesser-known to the public, but giants in their respective professions.
Lillian Dunlap graduated from Jefferson in 1940, and by 1942 had earned a Nursing degree. Recall that this was only months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, so she enlisted in the Army as a nurse, and was stationed in New Guinea, the Admiralty Islands, and the Philippines, some of the most intense "hot spots" during the heart of the Pacific War. Later, after many years and a series of promotions and appointments to positions of greater and greater responsibility, she was named Chief of the Army Nurse Corps and promoted to Brigadier General, the rank she held at her retirement in 1975, one of the first women to hold the rank of general.
Lillian was decorated many times for her bravery, service, and devotion to the profession and education of nursing, including being named an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Nursing and induction into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame. But perhaps the most interesting tribute to her life's work is the fact that one of the San Antonio river barges is named for her: "The General Lil."
John Silber was a couple of years younger than General Dunlap, but also achieved great distinction, some might say "notoriety," in his chosen career. After his graduation from Jefferson in 1943, Silber studied Philosophy at Trinity University, then attended Yale University where he earned a Ph.D. in the late 1950's. By 1960, he had returned to Texas and taught at UT Austin, ultimately becoming the Dean of Arts and Sciences there. In this position, he played a key role in recruiting high-caliber faculty and transforming the university into one of the top educational institutions in the world, while also advocating for liberal causes, not an easy thing to do in Texas!
In 1970, Dr. Silber became President of Boston University, a position he held for more than 25 years, an uncommonly long tenure, followed by six years as chancellor of BU. Silber continued to advocate for causes in Massachusetts, though his causes now reflected a more conservative outlook. As a result, Silber was known throughout his life for his combativeness and his strong advocacy for a variety of causes spanning the political spectrum. Like General Dunlap, his legacy is marked by a naming— in this case, a street on the BU campus is named for him. I should mention parenthetically, that the current president of Boston University, Robert Brown, is also a graduate of the SAISD, having attended Highlands HS.
So why do I bother to highlight these two individuals? Both Lillian Dunlap and John Silber made the most of the strong educational foundation that they received at Jefferson High School to leave the world a better place than they found it, despite coming from humble origins. In each case, their education extended beyond high school, and in each case, they advocated for improvements in education and for the power of individuals to make a difference. Their names are not household names, nor will you find them featured in any history books, but through their lives they were committed to helping others.
Let's return now to our trivia quiz: which high school in San Antonio is named for a Jefferson HS alumnus? Most are named for famous American statesmen/presidents, judges, or for geographic districts. In this case, however, the answer is "Robert G. Cole HS," named after General Cole, a commander in the D-Day invasion of Normandy and one of the earliest graduates of Jefferson.
How about the largest Grammy Award winner since 2000? A well-known Jefferson graduate with a Grammy win in 2000 is Chris Perez, who was also lead guitarist for Selena y Los Dinos and was married to Selena. And alumnus Gilbert Velasquez has won a half-dozen Grammys for albums he has engineered over the past 15 years. However, the biggest Grammy award winner (in the literal sense) was Jefferson HS itself, which won the Grammy Signature School Award winner in 2010 for the excellence of its music education programs.
And which graduate has participated in presidential debates? If you are thinking of a politician, you are on the wrong track— it is Jim Lehrer, who has moderated presidential debates for many years, most recently in 2012, and is also the former anchor of the PBS News Hour. Lehrer has been a long-time fixture as a national news reporter, and is also the author of several books of fiction, including my favorite, Viva Max!
What is the unique scientific distinction held by Jefferson HS? Jefferson is the only high school in the world that can boast two graduates who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Robert Curl (Rice University) in 1996, and W.E. Moerner (Stanford University) in 2014. At one time, I dreamed of being the pre-eminent chemist to come from Jefferson, but I am afraid that now I cannot do any better than third best!
Finally, who is Jefferson's distinguished Supreme Court advocate? I must confess that I had some inside information on this one, because you are not likely to find this bit of trivia listed anywhere. The answer is David Frederick, who has argued nearly 50 cases in the Court over the past 18 years, and had one argument 10 days ago representing Europe, and another next week. He also happens to be my little brother, and I am quite proud of him!
Thomas Jefferson High School has an enduring legacy of greatness, and a physical campus now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a student, I felt drawn to the traditions and the history of the school, and inspired by its magnificent design— just walking down the main hallway made me want to live up to the expectations of excellence.
I close by observing, if we are to excel as a community and fulfill the dreams of those who first declared and then fought for independence, we need a first-class public system of education. We must continue to inspire our students to great acts, to generous deeds, and to courageous convictions. I believe the true lesson of Thomas Jefferson High School is that when talented students are given an opportunity to learn and to be inspired, they can do amazing things. Thank you!

Fantastic to have Jack back in the blog saddle again! For me, settled across the Atlantic in Heidelberg, Germany, it's like having a private museum tour of Jefferson HS and , even better, a living history book of San Antonio! Keep up the superb effort, Jack!

Thanks,Jack, for passing on John Frederick's comments and history of Jeff. I am blown away over his entire presentation and so glad you recorded it. However, I am actually more entranced with our class leadership over the 60+ years.As I mentioned earlier, we have never encountered any individuals who have had the continuing fantastic experiences with their high school alumni as we have had with Jeff'54. Please do keep these great blogs a comin', Jack. Jack Davis in Montana

Reading speech by John Frederick was a real education in Jeff High history. Wish I had been in the audience when he delivered his speech.
Personal story on General Lillian Dunlap: When my Mom, sister and I, in 1948, moved to San Antonio from Palo Alto, CA we lived at 2038 Craig Place. Across the street was the Dunlap family which included Lillian and her three sisters. I met the General once and only saw her a few other times.
Her youngest sister Carolyn, year older than me, also attended Jeff high.

Thanks, Jack. The gathering at La Fonda was a great mini-reunion, and the program was perfect. Wondering how we're going to match this at our next confab! Thanks to all who helped.


Larry Henley, the legendary songwriter who co-wrote the mega-hit 'Wind Beneath My Wings,' died in Nashville the morning of Dec. 18, 2014 at the age of 77. He had been suffering from Parkinson's disease, as well as Alzheimer's.
Countless artists have covered Henley's biggest tune, most notably Bette Midler, but also country artists Willie Nelson, Gary Morris, Ray Price, B.J. Thomas, Lee Greenwood and more.
Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012, Henley is a Texas native and will be buried in his home state. A celebration of his life will be hosted in Nashville in early 2015, commemorating his talent and contributions to the world of country music. The family asks that donations be made to Nashville's Alive Hospice in lieu of flowers.
