Imagine for a second: A nation straddling the stress of war breaking out all over the world.
Decade-long economic strife with no clear end in sight. What will happen? Where will the paychecks come from?
We wake up scared. We wake up a little empty. I want to know how I can get enough inspiration and juice going to feed my family, to face their fears for them, so they don't have to be scared. As scared as I am.
I am talking about right now, but I could easily be talking about the summer of 1941.
56 games in a row.
Joe DiMaggio, the middle child of immigrants who wanted nothing more for him than that he be a fisherman. He turned to baseball because he hated the lingering and leftover smell of dead fish that stained his dad's boat, stained his childhood while he looked for a way out.
A way to choose himself.
We all have that choice. The choice to ignite whatever inner beacon we have that can light up the sky on a foggy night, bringing lost ships safely back to shore.
In the summer of 1941, for 56 straight games, Joe DiMaggio was that beacon, and 200 million people in this country were the ships lost at sea in the fog of international and economic malaise.
Joe DiMaggio brought them to shore.
We're going to get to shore now.
You can be that beacon. You can choose yourself.
You might not hit a baseball coming at you at 90 miles per hour for 56 straight games in a row.
You don't need to do that to be a hero. To be a beacon and inspiration to the loved ones around you, and then the loved ones around them.
But you don't need to be Joe DiMaggio to do that. Joe DiMaggio was the inspiration. Not just for a country to survive. But for you today, right now. Beginning this moment.
I wrote a book that came out last month, Choose Yourself, which describes the practices I used to survive when I was dead broke, lying on the floor, and wondering what the next second would bring—if it would bring something horribly worse.
Since then, I have hit the baseball 56 games in a row. I don't play baseball, but I hit that ball in my life. Every single day. And I still do. I've broken all records for myself. And every day starts off new, a day where I have to keep going, keeping showing that persistence and preparation keep making the PUSH.
For 56 days starting today, I want you to Choose Yourself.
To be the inspiration you were put on this earth to be. To learn to be the beacon to bring those ships to shore.
Do at least one or more of these things every day. Check the box. Break all the records.
The results will be amazing. Will change the world.
Do what you can. Be a Joe DiMaggio.
No time travel. DiMaggio didn't focus on yesterday's hit or tomorrow's hit. When the press started covering his winning streak, he wouldn't even acknowledge that he was trying to break a record. He just wanted to play the best baseball he could THAT DAY. That's how he got baseball in his blood. He showed up for today's game. Not yesterday's or tomorrow's.
No regrets. We all do things that later we regret. I doubt Joe regretted on game 57 when he didn't make a hit. Regrets only distract you from the present moment. You can ask, "How do you know Joe didn't regret it?" Because his performance didn't suffer. In fact, he then went on a 17-game streak. He hit safely in 73 out of 74 straight games. That's more impressive to me than the initial 56-game streak.
No anxieties. It's hard not to be worried about the future. The future is always uncertain. We didn't know in the summer of 1941 that the Depression was going to eventually end. That the world would be at war in just a few short months. Nor did we know in 1945 that despite the entrance of the nuclear age, the world would bloom into global economic prosperity for the next two decades.
Today is the only day you need to make a hit. Today is the only day you need to do the things on this list so you can choose yourself for success. Tomorrow, we just don't know what will happen.
Look at rooftops. I live in a city. I always see people walking around with their fears scratched all across their faces and eyes as they throw themselves from corner to corner. Everyone looking down, glassy eyes, just trying not to hit anyone else.
One way I bring myself back to the present moment, the only moment that ever truly exists, is to look at the rooftops when I walk. Architects are told: "Make a 50-story building," and they make those 50 stories, but nobody tells them what to do with the roofs. So that's where they throw in their artistic flourishes: the gargoyles, the ripples of cement that form works of art, the gardens, the windows and arches that reach for the majestic sky. Beauty can enter your life every moment if you look for it.
Sleep. This sounds like an easy "single," but it's not. We live in a world where we are all muttering and scared at 3:00 in the morning. And yet poor sleep hygiene can lead to depression, heart attacks, strokes, and other diseases.
Try to get eight hours a night. If you wake up at 3:00 in the morning worrying about the bills, worrying about what your boss will say to you tomorrow, worrying about the mortgage, then tell yourself, "I need to sleep right now, but I will make an appointment to talk to myself about these worries at 3:00 p.m. and not 3:00 a.m." I can guarantee you at 3:00 p.m., you won't really want to talk to yourself about these things.
Eat well. I'm a bit morbid. I study the statistics each year about what the leading causes of death were the year before. I'm not a big believer in the anti-aging industry. I don't need a magic pill to live longer. I just need to avoid dying. The best way to avoid the major killers is to just eat simply and well.
I don't have to describe what that means. You already know what it means. Just do it.
Exercise. I'm not saying go to the gym and kill yourself every day. Just take a 20-minute walk. Promise yourself to relax on that walk. Make it brisk. There. You can now check the box for today.
Floss. Do you know what the leading cause of suicide was in the 1800s? Dental pain. Fortunately, we have much better dental resources now. But teeth can hurt. And tiny infections can erupt in our gums that silently pulse their misery to our brains and our hearts. The simple act of flossing and good dental hygiene can prevent thousands of heart attacks and strokes a year.
He is choosing to argue with a random troll on the Internet rather than lie in bed with his wife who loves him. Is that you? Don't do it. Heck, it's me quite a bit. James: Don't do it!
Silence. Think of the five best moments in your life. Were they spent arguing on the phone? Thinking lots of thoughts about money, about stress? Or were they those moments when you were just sitting, looking at a river or a sunset?
Silence is the magic elixir for our brain. It's the nectar of God. When Joe DiMaggio was walking up to the bat, he had to silence the thoughts. The thoughts of Lou Gehrig about to die (Gehrig died in the middle of DiMaggio's streak), the thoughts of his newborn child, the thoughts of Ted Williams on his way to a 0.406 season up in Boston.
Silence, the slowing down of everything that would love to stop us, is the first step towards preparation, towards choosing yourself.
Gratitude. Every day when you wake up, quickly think of the five things you are most grateful for. They can change every day. It doesn't matter what they are. What you care about is the effect this has on your body. Feel it right now. Think of something you are angry about. Now think of something you are grateful for. Your body feels different both times. The grateful body is the healthier body.
Abundance. Even more than gratitude, think of the things that are abundant in your life. No matter what your circumstances, life is filled with abundance. DiMaggio was the son of a fisherman. He was saddled with a knee injury that almost derailed his baseball career even before he signed up for the Major Leagues. But he always counted his abundance and let it carry him from success to success.
Ideas. In today's world, we can't count on the safety of everything promised us—the safe job, protected by the white picket fence and the college degree. We live and die based on the strength and creativity of our ideas.
Every day, write down 10 ideas. It doesn't matter if they are good ideas or bad ideas. It doesn't matter what the ideas are about. The key is to exercise your idea muscle.
A muscle atrophies within weeks, and once it does, you need to work extra hard to make it work again. Build up your idea muscle so you can become an idea machine. The true test is if you can come up with a single good idea for 56 straight days. If you work on writing down 10 ideas a day, then eventually your idea muscle will turn into an idea machine.
Read. Don't read the junk in the news. Just like the body should avoid junk food, the mind should avoid its own version of junk food, the daily dish spiced with fear and greed.
Diversify. Don't rely on one job, one outcome, one destiny, to fulfill your purpose in life. DiMaggio was a great hitter. But he was also such a great outfielder that that alone would've made him a Hall-of-Famer. It was hard to hit a ball past him.
And after he retired at the top of his game, he took on a new chapter of this life—a multi-faceted business career that no one failure would be able to stop. The way to prevent the stop sign is to have multiple routes around it.
In addition, Joe left a legacy many are unfamiliar with—a children's hospital whose mission is to "provide safe, quality, cost-effective, patient- and family-centered care, regardless of one's ability to pay, with the goal of improving the health of the community it serves." His legacy extended beyond his own children and grandchildren to helping children for decades to come.
Lower your expectations. Joe DiMaggio didn't set out to hit the ball for 56 straight games in a row. He set out to hit the ball today. That's all you need to do to create a miracle in your life and in the lives of everyone around you. When you lower your expectations, you find, much to your delight, that you end up exceeding them every day.
Send three emails to people you are grateful for. This seems like it belongs in the gratitude category, but it doesn't. The gratitude category is to help your body get used to the abundance that is coming its way. The way you create that abundance is by strengthening the network of good people around you. Send those emails. Tell them why. Thank them.
Go to your inbox. Find an email from 2007 that you never responded to. Respond to it. Connect the past to the future. As we know, DiMaggio never gave up on his past. When he found love, he was always there to reconnect with it.
Eliminate the negative people in your life. There's a saying that you are the average of the five people closest to you. Don't let those five people be a negative influence that could bring you, your family, or your coworkers down.
Listen. All our lives, people have given us great examples of what it's like to be unhappy. Don't try to solve anyone else's problems. It's hard enough to hit one baseball every day. Listen to people's problems. Give them that. Show the people in your life that you are there. But often, they don't want you to solve their problems.
The beacon doesn't know which ships it is bringing safely to shore. It just needs to give off its light. It doesn't need to guide the ships every step of the way. Be the beacon by listening. By exuding confidence. By practicing the ideas expressed above.
When you do the preparation every day, you can surrender the results. You've done the preparation. You are physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually prepared, and all the muscles are fully cooperating with each other.
It's time to go to the game. It's time to begin your own 56-game streak.
Thank you, joltin James! Cleared the bases again… the daily practice of the fundamentals are crucial as evidenced by yourself and the Yankee clipper. Cool post!

Lines Depicting Simple Happiness
The shine on her buckle took precedence in sun
Her shine, I should say, could take me anywhere
It feels right to be up this close in tight wind
It feels right to notice all the shiny things about you
About you there is nothing I wouldn't want to know
With you nothing is simple yet nothing is simpler
About you many good things come into relation
I think of proofs and grammar, vowel sounds, like
A is for knee socks, E for panties
I is for buttondown, O the blouse you wear
U is for hair clip, and Y your tight skirt
The music picks up again, I am the man I hope to be
The bright air hangs freely near your newly cut hair
It is so easy now to see gravity at work in your face
Easy to understand time, that dark process
To accept it as a beautiful process, your face

WATCH: New Benoît Pioulard Video
Christian Eede , March 18th, 2015 11:28
American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist unveils video for track taken from his forthcoming album
Kranky will release a brand new album by Benoît Pioulard, entitled Sonnet, later this month, and ahead of its release, you can watch the video for LP track 'So Etched In Memory' above. "The space sequences were made by me, from scratch in 3D software," says the video's director, Sean Curtis Patrick. "I chose to make them not look incredibly realistic, as I wanted it to harken back to old sci-fi films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris." He goes on: "The 'earth' sequence was shot one frame at a time, essentially using the real world as a stop animation machine."
Sonnet, a mostly instrumental album, is based "on a series of field recordings of tones and unintentional harmonies that I made in the summer and fall of 2013," says Thomas Meluch, aka Benoît Pioulard. "Unlike most of my previous recordings, there are no digital/software after-effects on the album; all sounds are from analogue tape and/or my few guitar pedals." Sonnet is out March 30 and you can listen to 'A Shade Of Celadon', also taken from the album, below.

This is a half-day workshop on the use of Stan and R for PKPD applications held on Friday, 14 June, 13:30-17:30.
The location site will be near the PAGE 2019 meeting (Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre, Stockholm, Sweden).
We will demonstrate the use of Stan (http://mc-stan.org/) and the R package rstan for Bayesian PKPD modeling. Stan is a flexible open-source software tool for Bayesian data analysis using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) simulation—a type of MCMC simulation. Via the examples you will see how to implement nonlinear regression models, nonlinear mixed effects models and additional programming required for population PKPD models. The latter includes learning how to deal with dosing and observation event schedules specified using NONMEM conventions. Models requiring numerical solution of differential equations will also be demonstrated. We will discuss the pros and cons of Stan relative to other tools.
Who: Interested scientists with knowledge and experience in PKPD modeling, nonlinear mixed effects modeling, use of R (or S-PLUS) and a basic understanding of Bayesian principles.
What can you do in Stan that you can't do with your current tools?

Nick Jones and Glenn Roberts in the BBC Maida Vale studios working on a John Peel Session
Unaware of the popularity of Shoot in the USA the band proceeded to release their third seven-inch single Palace Filled with Love (1982). With its rhythm track holding a strong funk groove and tuneful lyrics drenched in irony, the song attracted numerous plays on the legendary John Peel radio show. The band travelled to London to record their first BBC session for Peel, who was full of enthusiasm for the band and gave their next single Rainy Day (1982) heavy play on his show.
In the summer of 82, the band invited friend Nick Jones to join as percussionist to add an extra dimension to the sound and as a four piece they recorded a further session for Peel. On July 24th 1982 apb opened for the The Clash at the Inverness Ice Rink.

Q: Cannot see recording red button for XCUITest in Xcode 9.2 As I am new to XCUITest, I want to write a test case by recording actions in the simulator but can't see the recording button in XCTestCase class.
What is the process to record a test case?

A: This might seem trivial, but almost drove me mad when I started with XCUITesting:
Notice that your cursor must be inside a function starting with test:

This won't work, though (Record button is greyed out):

A: I think that if you are not seeing the record button is because you don't have a iOS UI Testing Bundle in your targets. To do this you need to go to your project file and click the "+" button down on targets and then you add an iOS UI Testing Bundle. Then you will see a new folder named as your new target. There you can add UI tests and record them.

En musique classique, la fantaisie (de l'italien fantasia, mais on retrouve également les termes suivants : anglais : fantasy, fancy, fantazy, phantasy, allemand : fantasie, phantasie) est une composition de forme composite, par opposition aux formes musicales strictes telles que la sonate. Présente au moins depuis le  jusqu'à nos jours, elle permet au compositeur de déroger au cadre de composition habituel qui lui impose soit une progression harmonique stricte (comme la forme sonate), soit un enchaînement thématique préétabli (forme ABA, forme sonate bi-thématique avec exposition, développement et réexposition) La fantaisie fait se succéder les thèmes plutôt qu'elle ne les organise.

Deux exemples formels (les différents thèmes sont représentés par des lettres différentes) :
 « Fantaisie chromatique » de Johann Sebastian Bach : A – B (Recitativo) ;
 « Fantaisie en ut mineur » de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : A (Adagio) – B – C (Allegro) – D (Andantino) – E (Più allegro) – A' (Tempo primo).

Esthétiquement, la fantaisie ne joue pas le même rôle dans le paysage musical de chaque époque, mais son trait de caractère commun semble être une certaine prédominance de la subjectivité du compositeur sur le respect scrupuleux de cadres traditionnellement reçus. C'est le cas par exemple de la Fantaisie en fa mineur pour piano à quatre mains de Schubert, avec son expressivité liée à son arrière-plan psychologique et biographique. Et c'est peut-être la raison pour laquelle la fantaisie est plus couramment l'apanage des solistes que celui des grands orchestres dont l'architecture complexe est peut-être moins bien adaptée aux écarts formels. Cependant, la fantaisie ne doit pas être confondue avec l'impromptu ou l'improvisation.

La grande époque de la fantaisie sera le , son instrument de prédilection le piano et son cadre historique le romantisme. Sous des appellations très variées (« réminiscences », « paraphrase de concert »), la fantaisie atteint son apogée sous les doigts des plus grands pianistes-compositeurs romantiques comme Chopin, Liszt, Saint-Saëns ou Schumann. La virtuosité débridée de cette époque héroïque du piano trouve une place de choix dans ces compositions aux cadres éclatés et à la subjectivité exacerbée. Les fantaisies de concert de Franz Liszt entretiendront sa gloire auprès des publics populaires.

François Pithou ou Franciscus Pithoeus en latin, sieur de Bierne, né à Troyes le , et mort dans la même ville le , est un juriste et érudit français.

Biographie
Juriste de renom, il entretint des liens très étroits avec son frère Pierre, avec qui il collabora dans la rédaction  d'ouvrages et dans l'enrichissement de la bibliothèque familiale.

Il a été un des plus savants hommes de son temps qui a fait de grandes découvertes dans la jurisprudence et dans les belles lettres. On lui doit les Fables de Phèdre qui n'étaient pas connues et qui étaient restées sous forme de manuscrit dans les bibliothèques depuis le temps d'Auguste. Il a envoyé le manuscrit à son frère Pierre et l'ayant relu ensemble, ils ont mis aussitôt sous presse l'édition princeps, en 1596. Les Fables de Phèdre peuvent être considérées comme un ouvrage d'une latinité la plus pure.

Il a passé toute sa vie en faisant revivre les auteurs anciens, soit en les corrigeant, soit en les illustrant de notes savantes. À son époque, personne n'a eu une connaissance plus exacte de l'histoire de France et de toute l'Europe, ainsi que les mœurs et les coutumes de tous les peuples qui la composent.

Henri IV l'a nommé procureur général de la Chambre de Justice contre les gens d'affaires où il a montré des marques de ses capacités et de sa fermeté. Le roi l'a aussi choisi pour assister à la conférence de Fontainebleau, en 1600, entre le cardinal du Perron et Philippe Duplessis-Mornay sur le livre que ce dernier avait écrit contre la messe. Il a fait partie de la commission chargée de régler les limites entre la France et les Pays-Bas espagnols.

Il était occupé à imprimer les Fragments de l'histoire de saint Hilaire, évêque de Poitiers, quand il est tombé malade et est mort.

Après la mort de ses frères, il vécut jusqu'à sa mort dans la maison familiale, à Troyes. Il a légué par testament à la ville de Troyes sa maison ainsi que de nombreux biens et une partie de sa bibliothèque pour en faire le collège, le « Collegium Pithoe-Tricassinum ».

Il était lié par une amitié complice à Antoine Loysel, Jacques Auguste de Thou, Claude Dupuy et Nicolas Le Fèvre.

Famille
Trois de ses frères sont connus comme des juristes distingués : d'un premier mariage, Jean (1524-1602), auteur d'un Traité de la police et du gouvernement des républiques et, en collaboration avec son frère jumeau Nicolas (1524-1598), de l'Institution du mariage chrétien ; et d'un second mariage Pierre (1539-1596) auteur de la Satyre Ménippée (1593), frère de François Pithou. Les deux frères ont travaillé ensemble.

Œuvres
 Brieve responce d'un catholique françois à l'Apologie ou Defense des Ligueurs, et perturbateurs du repos public, se disant fausement (sic) catholiques unis les uns avec les autres, 1586
 Première publication des Fables de Phèdre en 1596 avec son frère Pierre Pithou ;
 Fragments de l'histoire de saint Hilaire, évêque de Poitiers.
 Édition du Corpus juris canonici, en 1587.
 avec Joseph Juste Scaliger, Jacques-Auguste de Thou, cardinal Jacques du Perron, Paul Colomiès, Scaligerana, Thuana, Perroniana, Pithoeana et Colomesiana, ou Remarques historiques, critiques, morales et littéraires, chez Covens et Mortier, Amsterdam, 1740, tome 1, tome 2

Hommages
Un collège et une rue à Troyes portent son nom.

"Optimism in Iraq fuels revived interest in vintage cars"
ALI AL-SAADI | AFP | Getty Images
Iraqi man inspects a classic car at a depot in Baghdad on March 19, 2008.
17 Jan 2018 | Sinan Salaheddin| AP via CNBC
"When Iraqi forces drove Islamic State militants out of eastern Mosul a year ago, Nashwan Shakir Mahmoud raced back to his home, hoping that his red and white 1955 Chevrolet coupe had survived three years of war and upheaval.
When he saw that it had only suffered light damage from a mortar shell that landed nearby, he was overjoyed. "I had an unspeakable feeling, I sighed in relief when saw it," he said.
He spent 10 days carrying out his own repairs and then drove it all the way back to Baghdad, a 13-hour journey that would have taken four in a modern car. "When I reached Baghdad," he said, "people were stopping me in the streets to take pictures and videos. It was like a dream to me and to the people."
The 49-year-old father of six is part of a small community of vintage car aficionados who are hoping to rekindle their passion now that the war against the Islamic State group is over. For many, the cars remind them of happier times in Iraq, before decades of war and chaos, which they hope are finally coming to an end.
"These cars have something spiritual that lets you feel the happiness of the good old days," said Mahmoud, who also owns a 1964 GMC pickup. The pickup is in a mechanic's garage in Mosul's Old City, in an unsecured area cordoned off by security forces.
Mahmoud had two other vintage cars — a 1957 Dodge Coronet and a 1967 Dodge pickup — but U.S. soldiers towed them away in 2006 after warning him against parking them on the street without getting them repaired, saying militants could use them to conceal roadside bombs. He said he cried when they were taken away.

Iraq's vintage cars date back to the period between the discovery of oil in the 1920s and the booming 1970s, when the country was awash in petroleum wealth and boasted some of the finest roads in the region.
Much of that infrastructure was destroyed in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and the 1990 Gulf War. The sanctions in the 1990s made it difficult to secure spare parts. In the chaotic years after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, many collectors kept their cars hidden or locked up, while the daily bombings, and the blast walls and barbed wire that sprouted across Baghdad and other cities, took the pleasure out of driving.
Now, many of those barriers have come down, and some collectors feel more comfortable showing off their treasures.
Saad al-Nuaimi, 65, has parked six vintage cars in front of his coffee shop in Baghdad's northern Azamiyah neighborhood, including green and blue 1954 Chevrolet Bel Airs and two Townson cars from the mid-1960s. Three others, including a 1952 Chevrolet and a 1959 Townson, are being repaired.
"When you feel secure, you have the guts to get money out of your pocket to enjoy such beauties," he said.
Ari Jalal | Reuters. An Iraqi soldier holds an Islamic State flag during a battle with Islamic State militants, north of Mosul, Iraq.
Many Iraqis from war-battered areas are desperate to sell old cars, and as Iraqi forces have driven IS back over the past three years, more and more models have appeared on the market, al-Nuaimi said. His latest acquisition was a badly damaged maroon 1952 Chevrolet from Salahuddin province, where IS was driven out in 2015.
He restores the cars himself, ordering spare parts from Europe and the United States.
The government keeps its own trove of vintage cars, including a rare 1904 Jeep Levon and luxury models used by the Hashemite monarchy from 1921 until 1958, including a 1936 Mercedes-Benz that was a gift from Adolf Hitler. Others belonged to Uday, the notoriously brutal playboy son of Saddam Hussein.
Some have had their bodywork restored but do not have working engines, while others are in very poor condition.
The collection is stored in a garage for safe-keeping and is only rarely exhibited to the public. Adil al-Ardawi, the vintage car expert in charge of the royal collection, says at least 1,000 troops were assigned to protect the cars when they were used in a parade last year to mark the 100th anniversary of Baghdad's al-Rashid Street.
Ahmad Shukor, a 39-year-old engineer who runs a Facebook page devoted to documenting Iraq's vintage cars, says only around 100 remain nationwide. He says a third were in Mosul, and that many of them may have been damaged or destroyed.
He's now in the final stages of opening a vintage car showroom in the central city of Najaf. The owners of more than 60 cars have agreed to display them there when the showroom opens in the coming months.
"We want to prove that Iraq is not done yet," he said.

Q: Unwanted border appearing around subreports when Conditional Formatting applied I have a report that has conditional formatting applied to change the background of  a row. However, whenever the condition is met, an extra border is also applied around 2 subreports that are a part of the report. An example of that is in the "Active Transcribers" column in the screenshot:

The 2 shaded rows are those that meet the conditional criteria and the unshaded one does not.
As you can see from my style, I am not doing anything that should impact the border:

She was so small. The laws said that a baby can't face forward in a car-seat until they weigh 20 pounds, and most babies reach that by age 1. She was two and a half before she weighed 20 pounds. We mixed her formula to 30 calories/ounce (it's normally 20 calories/ounce), just to keep her from losing weight. When she died at age 8 ½, she was still under 50 pounds.
He is growing well. He would graze all day long if I let him. The doctors printed off his growth chart at the last check-up and he's actually in the 70th percentile for one measure, 50th for the other two. I can't express the relief at seeing his growth curve smack-dab in the middle of the chart instead of a flat line underneath like his big sister's was.
I wasn't expecting to find his class directed to the smaller chapel at the end of the party. I hadn't been there since Elli's memorial service over 3 years ago. I felt sick as I walked towards that room. I cried as I watched the 3 and 4-year-olds jump and laugh and sing in the same space where we sang and cried and laughed in celebration of Elli.
My son is growing where she did not, and sometimes it hurts.
Don't forget to add your life:unmasked post to the linky this week. Everyone linked by midnight Saturday will be entered to win a GIVEN t-shirt for World Vision!
What a blessing your honesty is…and how brave to enter back into a place again that had last been a memory of great sorrow. How sweet the Lord is to bring you back into that place at a time of Thanksgiving. I pray that He met you there in an amazing way. Love the picture of your sweet girl.
I'm so sorry, friend. Praying for you today. Elli looks so adorable in that picture. And so much like her mama.
a big hug, friend. happy and sad all at same time in a way that's only possible with joy.
It sounds to me as if feeling like crying is exactly the right and honest response when faced with such a poignant and painful moment.
thank you. I've been listening to Christa Wells song How Emptiness Sings lately & you sing it. You live in the here, but not yet. My prayer for you sweet Joy is that flood of peace that pushes out fear, but doesn't cover the depth of sadness you feel for Ellie's place gone. Our hearts long for the redeemed garden–I imagine mine would long even more if I were in your shoes. I'm crying with you.
This is deep and raw, Joy. Thanks. I appreciate your writing and your thoughts. We all have some true pain to negotiate in this life, and many benefit from you putting yours out there.
How I wish I could reach through this screen and just give you a hug. Sit in the tears with you for a while.
There is NO 'supposed to' in grieving. Your tears, your nausea even – these are most appropriate and they are truly necessary. I imagine there will always be a bit of this tug in your heart….we rejoice! But, oh, the sadness. Yes. It will always be there – and that is okay. It is more than okay. It speaks to the depth of your love for sweet Elli, to the depth of your commitment to the wholeness of your family, which can never be 'whole' again in this lifetime, yet is still vibrant and wonderful in its brokenness.
We lost our son-in-law 3 years ago, a man I had known since he was born. And his death was long and arduous, requiring so much from my daughter. She remarried this last summer – and we were so deeply happy for her. And yet…and yet…as we left the sanctuary, my husband and I turned to each other, both of us with tears shimmering. Joy out of sorrow. Celebrate the joy – yes, yes, yes. But acknowledge the sorrow, too. Somehow, by the grace of God, we learn to live with the tension between the two. We live in the reality of the now and the not yet. Lovely writing, Joy. Thank you.
I'd sure love to give you a big hug! I.just.love.you. And I only got to meet you once. You model for me an unabandoned heart that pursues deep, the realities that exist within. You speak to the rawness where we all live and I am inspired by your bravery and magnetized by your courage. Thank you for inviting us in to the spaces of your pain, that we might know we are not alone in the spaces of our own. I am better for knowing you and I am praying earnestly for you…that you feel the warmth of His presence and the comfort only He can give. Know you are so very loved!
Oh dear heart. It's ok to cry at thanksgiving. For us in Canada, thanksgiving falls in October, usually within days of my dad's birthday if not directly on it – he would have been 63 this year. Those are some very good things to be thankful of – that your son is growing even when his sister did not, and of the time that you did have with your daughter.
Yes it does. Hugs to you today.
it is a hard place. . . this filling up that then reminds us of the loss. no words are adequate right now. just letting you know you've been heard. you've been lifted up. you are held.
thank you for sharing your heart and allowing those of us out here to receive it.
praying for you this night.
God is so good at waiting…waiting until we can handle the emotions that come along with painful situations. May He wrap you up in His arms and rock you in the comfort that can only come from Him. His Name is called Comforter. Rest in Him, darling one.
I am so sorry. Your daughter is beautiful. Thankful for your growing, healthy son!
i love when you write about your precious Elli! Reminds us of so many things we take for granted. Reminds us of the pain of ill children that we forget about. Reminds us of the demands on families of ill children…even though it wasn't your point. thank you. it is a good thing.
thank you for allowing your pain to make you tender. and for sharing it with us. I know it isn't easy.

3 men were arrested for distributing political leaflets in a Royal Malaysian Navy base
Rosli Send an email 16/11/2022
by Rosli Mansor
Three men were arrested by Lumut's Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) Naval Provost Patrol Team (PROTELA) officers, for distributing leaflets of a political party inside the RMN Base.
Perak Police Chief, Datuk Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said, it was reported that the arrest was made when PROTELA officers were patrolling the area.
"On 15 November a police report was received from a PROTELA RMN Lumut officer.
"During patrolling, the team arrested three men aged between 19 and 33 years old at Block A8 RKTLDM grounds for distributing leaflets of a political party inside the RMN Base.
"It is because the RMN base has been gazetted as a prohibited area," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
He further said that the case was investigated under Section 24B of the Election Offenses Act 1954.
He also advised all contesting parties to comply with all laws and regulations enforced throughout the campaign period.
"The implementation of campaigns has been excluded in areas gazetted as prohibited areas, as stated in Act 298, the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act 1959.
"Any individual who fails to comply with this matter, may be subject to imprisonment or a fine as stated in Section 7 of the same act," he added.
In the meantime, he said, the police also expressed their gratitude to all the contesting parties for their good cooperation throughout the campaign period.

Today I am welcoming author and poet Awen Thornber onto my introducing blog. Awen has had rave reviews for her work and I can't wait for you to find out more about her.
Awen is formerly a textile artist and design consultant for a craft company, she produced craft projects and articles for magazines, and had a regular craft column in the UK magazine 'Northern Life'. She is always looking for inspiration to spark her creative mind and currently devotes her time to writing novels. Born and bred in Lancashire, England, Awen also loves walking, painting, ballroom and ballet dancing.
When dance teacher Gina Pendleton throws her cheating boyfriend out of her house, she must find a way of earning extra money to pay the bills. The obvious answer is to offer dance classes at her home, even though she knows this will incur the wrath of the owner of the local well-established dance school.
Her life becomes even more fraught when she is targeted by vandals and intruders.
After she meets Chris Jackson, it doesn't take her long to realise that he is the man of her dreams, especially as he's also a wonderful dancing partner.
But can she really trust him when it appears that he is hiding something from her?


Our project at Moyles Place is for the redevelopment of a section of land formerly part of Suddern Farm, within the settlement boundary of Over Wallop.
Proposals for the site are to form a small high quality residential development comprising 4 new dwellings - 2 four bedroom detached barn-style homes, and a pair of four bed semi-detached homes of a more traditional style. Each plot has a good sized garden and associated parking.
Planning was granted in October 2018, with work commencing on site in December 2018. Completion is anticipated for late Summer/early Autumn 2019.

It takes 'more training than the military' to drive new Cambridge to London trains
The new trains will be introduced from May, taking Cambridge passengers through London, and down to the south coast
Adam Care
Hurtling through the West Sussex countryside at 60 miles per hour, it's hard to imagine being responsible for the safety of 1,700 lives.
But that's what Will Paton faces every day, when he steps into the high-tech cab of his train.
The New Zealand-born driver spends up to eight hours a day driving the sleek new Class 700 trains for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), which will soon be pulling into Cambridge station.
The Class 700 Thameslink train
The trains will be serving Cambridge and Peterborough as part of the northern extension of the Thameslink project, which will see commuters in the county able to travel directly to central London, Gatwick Airport and Brighton.
Take a sneak peek inside the new high-tech trains coming to Cambridge
A driver with over four years' experience, he spoke to the News while travelling from London St Pancras to Gatwick Airport on board one of the new trains, which already serve London and the south of England.
He said: "I have been driving since they came out, over a year ago, and these are mostly computerised now, so it's a big change.
"Previously we had circuit breakers, and we had to learn where they were, but this has a computer that tells you."
Inside the Class 700 cab
Rather than the dials and levers of old the cab is almost entirely digital, with a large computerised speedometer at the front, and CCTV monitors giving drivers a clear view of passengers when they stop at a station.
A further change from trains of old is Will's seating position – rather than sitting on the left hand side, he spends his day in a central position, giving him the clearest view of the line ahead.
He said: "It's a much better view.
"I like to go to Brighton, heading southbound, we always see something new and different, and it's always nice to be driving through green open spaces."
On our trip to Gatwick the News also spoke with GTR testing and commissioning driver Barry West, who is training the drivers who will work on the new Cambridge routes.

He said: "We're two years into the training programme, and there's another year left.
"We're training the majority of the drivers in the Cambridge depot, which is about 70, and about 200 drivers from Great Northern.
"The course is two weeks long, with one week static, where they learn about the train, then a driving week, with two hours of physical driving."

Where can you go in central London?
The first new trains will start appearing in Cambridge from May 2018, and will gradually increase in frequency across the year.
Barry added: "It's a modern train, it works a lot more efficiently, so it's a different skill needed.
"The computer interface is more efficient, but it's still a driver controlled train and there will always be a driver on board.
"The feedback from the drivers has been very positive, they love them."

Crunch time for Cambridge touts and punt station in fresh crackdown
For Will, who is based in Bedford, and could soon be pulling into Cambridge, the extensive training was all worthwhile.
He said: "Here the doors are wider, the coaches are more open, you can see all the way through to the other end.

'Trail-blazing' scheme showcased to care sector employers
A trail blazing scheme which is bringing agencies together to get more people to take up careers in the care sector in the City of Wolverhampton has been showcased at a national gathering of employers.
The City of Wolverhampton's Careers into Care partnership has successfully brought together care sector employers and training providers, including those in higher and further education, to raise awareness of the value of a career in care.
The Careers into Care project also includes ongoing initiatives designed to help fill vacancies in the care sector, encouraging people to apply for posts or take up apprenticeships. Around 500 people attended a jobs fair for the care sector earlier this year.
The project was presented to around 30 local and national adult social care organisations at the National Employers Meeting organised by CareTech on Tuesday (3 October, 2017).
Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Services, said: "We are working hard through our Careers into Care partnership to attract the best people to careers in the care sector in the City of Wolverhampton.
"We need more people in the workforce so that we can support the increasing numbers who may need care. Equally, everyone who buys care in the City, either through the council or directly, needs a workforce which is big enough and of the best quality possible.
"The chance to present our trail-blazing Careers into Care partnership to big employers, both locally and nationally, at this gathering was a great opportunity to showcase what we are doing here in the City of Wolverhampton, and to encourage others to follow our lead."
Councillor John Reynolds, Cabinet Member for City Economy, added: "The care sector makes an enormous contribution to the local economy - adult social care alone is worth £250 million a year and employs 7,700 people in the City of Wolverhampton - and that's why we are prioritising it.
"We have developed the Type=links;Linkid=8638;Title=Wolverhampton WorkBox;Target=_blank; to act as a 'front door' to information, advice and job opportunities in the City, including those within the care sector."
The National Employers Meeting focussed on a range of programmes aimed at ensuring a high quality social care workforce, and also discussed school based programmes to raise awareness of the opportunities to develop a career in care, and the growing apprenticeship programme.
Nigel Taylor, Group Head of Learning and Development at CareTech, said: "We have to work together to recruit really good people into care work. That's why we brought employers together to make sure they know about opportunities which can help them.
"We highlighted the City of Wolverhampton's approach in its Careers into Care partnership because we think other areas might learn from it."

LDDA taking artful approach to infusing joy into holiday season
The Longmont Creative District and the Longmont Downtown Development Authority hope to get residents in the spirit of the season by pairing artists with businesses to beautify downtown windows this winter.

With St. Vrain Valley schools considering transitioning to remote learning after Thanksgiving, Boulder County ramping up coronavirus restrictions and Mayor Brian Bagley calling for a city ordinance urging people to do all they can to limit the spread of COVID-19, residents might be left wondering what they will do for fun this holiday season. The Longmont Creative District aims to help.
The Creative District and the Longmont Downtown Development Authority hope to get residents in the spirit of the season by pairing artists with businesses to beautify downtown windows this winter.
The LDDA on Nov. 6 announced on its Instagram page that it is offering a stipend of $300 to chosen artists. The stipend will be used to buy paint and supplies to create winter-themed murals downtown.
The announcement also included news about the launch of the local Artist Sunday effort aimed at helping small businesses and artists alike. The weekend after Thanksgiving, residents will find art pop-ups throughout downtown Longmont.
"We want to capitalize on social distancing-friendly activities," said Mersadi McClure, Creative District Coordinator with LDDA. "People can view downtown and not have to worry about occupancy limits and all that, so a window mural project would be a kind of fun way to do that."
The LDDA is looking for "positive, engaging, family-friendly work that is reflective of the Longmont community (and the) winter season in Colorado."
Longmont resident Michelle Myers said she looks forward to the added beauty the murals will bring to the city. "I always said Longmont was beautiful in the wintertime," she said.
Artists have not yet been selected but McClure said they will be chosen in the coming days to make sure the murals are completed as soon as possible.
Among the specifics for the mural project are the use of approved paints that can easily be removed.
Artists were invited to apply via the Creative District webpage.
Among the artists who have applied for the window-painting effort is Firehouse Art Center Executive Director Elaine Waterman.
She doesn't yet know if she has been chosen, but she said the Firehouse is weighing what it can do to be involved in the project.
"The Firehouse windows are small, but we still might try to do something fun and festive," Waterman said.
People can expect artists to begin painting the windows this month. The murals will remain through the end of January.
In addition to the murals and Artist Sunday, the LDDA on Friday launched its Winter Passport program to encourage people to visit downtown merchants.
Through the program, shoppers who make purchases at downtown businesses will collect stickers for their passports, which are available at participating businesses. Once they've collected 10 stickers, they can enter their passports into the periodic prize drawings that will be held throughout the winter. The program, which runs through the end of the year, includes thousands of dollars worth of prizes, according to Colin Argys, LDDA marketing specialist and event coordinator said in an email.


Jug Rinser – or pitcher rinsers (depending on how much you love that coffee-snob lingo!).
These babies are not the first thing you think of when you imagine a coffee setup but they are the silent achievers – having one of these built in to your bench means that there's no time being lost taking your jug to and from the sink after every use or every time you need to rinse a jug or glass.
Rinsing the jugs (or measuring glasses) after each use is best practice because it keeps your equipment clean and prevents milky buildup (gross), Rinsing the jugs is one of those small steps to ensure that the 100th coffee you pour at 1pm is the same amazing quality as that first creamy pour at 6:30am – coffee equality.
After considering the option for a second hand one vs China import vs. a new Australian-made one, we went for the latter. Even though it was slightly more expensive, it's worth it for the fast postage (28 days people), warranty and a hotline that means if we've already cut our counter apart, there's someone we can call for an SOS.
Yay! This one was victoriously conquered in an old-fashioned eBay bidding war; the nervousness was real and I'll admit I may have jumped in the air when I finally won. I did go $10 over our limit, but hey .. you can't expect an over-competitive gal to admit defeat that easily.
Space – being able to load things straight into the tray prevents dirty dishes building up on the counters pace .. which is where food lives .. which is gross!
Maybe a bit trivial, but we wanted something pretty minimal for the counter that didn't require us to drill into the counter top – not because I have commitment issues, but because it leaves more room for workflow adjustments/improvements!
A stand looks more professional, requires less handling and is at least a tiny but more secure than just leaving an iPad lazing around on your counter! So a $30 stand should do the trick, at least for a while!
It keeps things niiiiice and orderly (can't you just hear my inner control freak right now?!) … no piles of cups, no loose papers ahhh okay .. maybe I'm too passionate about smooth workflow?!
We do need two sinks for the shop (one hand washing and one for general washing) but I am still yet to stumble upon the larger sink online. So, in the next couple of days we'll head to Sydney to pick up our new hand washing sink – handsfree (legal requirement people), working condition pulled straight out of an operating cafe. Am I going to try and get some more post-cafe stuff from this seller?! uhhh heck yes!


The season of the long silent nights and rustling winds clock in and out on us, leaving a big question mark on how we dress up for the winter occasions. As winter forfeits wearing fancy outfits and embarks on tightly snuggled and comfortable attire, why not explore the latest collection of winter clothing for men at Savers Pakistan? We offer discounted jackets & coats, hoodies & zipper and sweaters & sweatshirts in plain, denim and printed schemes for the love of winters. Scheme up the fashion sense and empower your wardrobe with denim jackets, fleece hoodies, round-neck sweatshirts and flat-out winter goodies to make winters an up and up season.


Ants, Wasps and Mice, Oh My!
However, my new abode was sadly abandoned for a bit before the landlords entered the picture and fixed it up and then, I moved in. I guess creatures big and small moved in when the humans moved out and it's been a bit of a journey convincing them that the new human inhabitants are here to stay for awhile and their squatters rights have been removed. Sadly I don't speak mouse, ant or wasp languages so I had no way to convince them that they needed to move on. To say it's been frustrating and quite frankly, yucky is an understatement.
But time heals, even in pest situations and they are becoming less of a nuisance which is good for me. No longer is my toothbrush covered in a hundred ants when I open the medicine cabinet nor is the Tupperware container filled with chocolate Lucky Charms alive with extra ant crunchies. This is what I mean by yucky, don't you agree?
The wasps seem to have moved away now as well which helps, but the mice, well, I think they are still hanging around unfortunately. Sure, I'm a big fan of Minnie & Mickey Mouse, but not in my house! Our cats are such divas that they wouldn't know what to do if they came face to face with one. Because they aren't outside cats, I think they would be clueless since real mice don't smell like the catnip mice-shaped toys that they play with at home.
It's all a transition here – ups and downs like a roller coaster – but I can now start counting more ups than downs for which I'm grateful. I do worry though that the mice are in the fireplace at night as the cats seem to gaze into the darkness often when it's quiet. So far, no mice have stepped on the glue paper which is a relief to me because honestly, if I awoke one morning to one stuck there flailing, I'm not sure I could deal with it! YIKES!
Ok, enough about my pest situation! I hope you have a pest free day yourselves and enjoy this lovely Saturday!
P.S. Those of you who are wondering, this isn't a photo of my actual home!

Colin Linden at the ANZA Club, Vancouver, May 11, 2018
If you were one of the 70 people at the Anza Club in Vancouver on Friday, CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE A WINNER! You just witnessed a consummate artist perform a great show in an intimate living room-type setting with great sound and an audience that no one needed to shush. If you took Taj Mahal, Randy Newman, Chet Atkins, Lyle Lovett, Elvis Costello, Lowell George, and Ry Cooder and put them in a blender then you'd have some idea of what Colin Linden sounds like – if you didn't already know. Canadian-born Linden, who began his career in Toronto and is a member of the beloved Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, has been living in Nashville for over 20 years and, for the last six, has been the musical director of the ABC television show Nashville (He's been involved as a player since its inception). Dressed in black from hat to shoes, Colin played two sets of songs from his catalogue spanning more than 20 years, each either drenched in, or with undertones of, his signature Mississippi Delta blues-style finger picking, gravelly voice, and tasty slide guitar playing. Look up roots music in Webster's Dictionary, and you could find a picture of Colin Linden next to it. Alternating between his '65 Gibson ES175, an amazing sounding 1937 Regal dobro, and a brand new electric (not sure what it was) he had picked up that very day (my least favorite) and a small (by today's standards) pedal board, he filled the room as though a full band were present. Highlights were a Howlin' Wolf cover, the audience-requested "Big Mouth" and a lovely ballad "It's Later Than You Think."
If you were one of the unlucky ones who missed this show, or if you want to repeat an amazing musical experience, rumour has it that Colin will be back performing in Vancouver on October 19th.

Tip to Prevent Power Struggles: Make Agreements Ahead of Time!
c) a great big "NO!"?
Yep, we've ALL been there!
Imagine how it would feel if someone close to you came into your space asking you to do something that really wasn't important to you at that moment. Would you respond with a simple "Ok," or might you feel irritated, annoyed and upset that this person wasn't considering your needs, your agenda, your time…?
Our kids are no different. They have agendas of their own, and deserve the same respect we would expect.
So, next time, with this in mind, try making an agreement with your child in advance, kindly and respectfully – the same way you would want someone to speak to you.
Say, for example, your child's room is a mess and you want him to pick up his toys. Sit down with your child at a calm time and begin by acknowledging how much he enjoys playing and how you love to see him so engaged with all of his fun toys. Then, kindly explain that a messy room doesn't work for you and that you would appreciate if he could pick up his toys and put them away when he is done using them.
When we take the time to acknowledge that our kids have agendas of their own and make our requests in a way that demonstrates kindness and respect, we model the very behavior we want to see (respect, problem solving, kindness) and increase our chances of hearing "Ok, Mom/Dad." when those requests are made!

Radio and X-ray detections of GX 339-4 in quiescence using MeerKAT and Swift
The radio-X-ray correlation that characterizes accreting black holes at all mass scales - from stellar mass black holes in binary systems to supermassive black holes powering active galactic nuclei - is one of the most important pieces of observational evidence supporting the existence of a connection between the accretion process and the generation of collimated outflows - or jets - in accreting systems. Although recent studies suggest that the correlation extends down to low luminosities, o...

It has been suggested that discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) in insects evolved in response to hypoxic and/or hypercapnic environments, and that the flutter phase of the DGC is predominantly diffusive. We tested these hypotheses by examining the rate of CO(2) release at a declining series of oxygen partial pressures in adults of Aphodius fossor, an inhabitant of moist to wet dung pats that can have low oxygen and high carbon dioxide concentrations. This mesic species showed a pronounced DGC, but progressively abandoned it when exposed to declining oxygen concentrations. That is, in response to a reduction in oxygen concentration, the closed phase declined in length and eventually disappeared, the flutter phase declined in length, while the flutter phase rate of CO(2) release increased, the open phase peak rate of CO(2) release declined and DGC frequency increased. Nonetheless, overall CO(2) release rate remained virtually unchanged. Thus, it appears that the flutter phase in A. fossor has a significant convective component. In addition, in response to declining oxygen concentrations, the spiracles are opened for prolonged periods to increase gas exchange. This behaviour is unlikely to incur a significant water loss penalty in the moist habitats in which A. fossor lives. Given the switch to continuous ventilation by A. fossor under hypoxic conditions, we conclude that current adaptive explanations for the DGC are inadequate. Rather, the DGC may be the default state of a system regulated by two interacting feedback loops when demands are absent.
