When Fred Jacobs writes about radio, we podcasters ought to sit up and pay attention. Much of what he has to say about radio transfers directly to the challenges we face in podcasting every day. And many of the solutions he recommends to broadcasters are ones we can either adopt or adapt to our own situations.
And when Jacobs writes about PODCASTING, well, this ought to be the first thing you read in the morning.
So it is with this post. Along with his beliefs in the future of podcasting for both radio stations and independent practitioners, Jacobs shares his insights into why radio stations ought to—no, make that need to—dive into podcasting.
Production techniques, a sense of timing, and storytelling are all key ingredients central to creating great podcasts. But here's the dirty little secret – there are some very good podcasts out there that cannot find an audience because their producers have no viable means of promoting or marketing them to their target audiences. Contrast that with radio, a medium that makes it relatively easy to draw a sizable crowd.
while outside-the-lines podcasts will continue to attract niche audiences, and may prove to be financially viable and potentially successful commercially, mainstream podcasters looking to monetize their podcasts will find themselves increasingly shaped by the standards set by radio.
While radio leverages its audience, familiarity, ease of use and penetration (90% of all adults), many emerging podcasts will languish on their servers.
In fact, when you talk with podcasters outside the radio business, many will tell you that one of their biggest frustrations is their inability to generate attention for their audio masterpieces. Outside of social media, they simply don't have the presence, the pull, the gravitas necessary to drive awareness and behavior.
listen to the radio. Not only NPR, but to the great and talented storytellers such as Rush Limbaugh (politics aside, the guy is one hell of a broadcaster), Don Imus (ibid.) and Howard Stern (ibid.). If you can find airchecks of Kidd Kraddick (sadly no longer with us) from Kiss-FM in Dallas, that would be another good choice, as would Casey Kasem hosting American Top 40 or Allison Steele in her WNEW-FM days. Delilah is on the air now with a syndicated show out of Seattle. (Try searching the FM Airchecks' site. Kasem, in particular, may sound a bit cheesy to you, but he connected with audiences that stretched from teens to seniors.) These are multi-million dollar talents so there's a good chance you have something to learn from them.
It's time to plan for a future that includes beating radio at its own game. Before the sand shifts out from under us.

Exploring the use of tech in Corporate Social Responsibility and volunteering initiatives
Key Findings & Recommendations
The Benchmarks
Celebrate collectively & regularly
Benchmark 9: "Celebrate collectively & regularly" does what it says on the tin. A company-wide reason to celebrate and regularly reinforce company values.
Benchmark 9 Components:
Create awards system recognising company leaders, volunteers & teams
Announce company milestones & outcomes regularly, at all levels
1. Create awards system recognising company leaders, volunteers & teams
BITC speaks of integrating company values into a rewards system to encourage the preferred behaviours, for example incentivising the most active teams and individuals, as well as those who help spread the word (internally and externally).
This could be as simple as giving employees a small gift card or bonus, as Airbnb do, or awarding points to be utilised towards health vouchers as at AMD. IBM let volunteers earn digital badges and credentials.
It can also be a great way of "storytelling" and sharing successes company-wide, as Pearson and Accenture do in formal staff award ceremonies. Accenture's "Greater Than" award (which – by the way – ties perfectly with their company logo & branding), allows teams worldwide to share their volunteering success stories which are then voted on by the entire company through a webcast.
Pearson goes one step further to hold an awards ceremony to celebrate their non-profit partners, teachers and students that they work with too.
2. Announce company milestones & outcomes regularly, at all levels
Sharing inspiring stories (both big and small) on a regular basis serves as a continuous reminder of highly-valued volunteering behaviours. 3BL Media's Dave Armon tells how companies regularly come to them for help shaping and telling their CSR "story" to a wide yet relevant audience. He thinks it's about not just focusing at the senior level, but showcasing the people benefitting from and engaging in social impact activities.
Encourage both junior and senior voices across the company, as well as your third-party partners to share your successes for you! The majority of American Express' CSR communications over the past 5 years is through their non-profit partners & social media channels.
Start-ups typically celebrate successes in weekly or monthly "All hands" meetings. Square have volunteer spotlights and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) every month as well as an internal Annual Report celebrating every office's volunteer efforts.
What each tier does well
This tier was particularly creative when it came to having an awards system to recognise employee volunteer efforts. Many large players had a well-esteemed Annual awards-type event to rally employees company-wide around.
Did tech help?
Use of tech to facilitate awards given was strongly correlated to strong performance on this benchmark (0.8 at 99% CI). For example, IBM would utilise online credentials/badging to recognise top employee volunteers, and Accenture would utilise online webcasts and voting mechanisms to involve the entire company in the awards ceremony.
High-growth
High-growth companies seemed to maintain the same strong company-wide communication as their SME peers, often announcing company milestones and outcomes on a regular basis at company-wide "All-hands" meetings.
Besides web conferencing technologies to include employees worldwide in such "All-hands" meetings, tech was not a significant driver of performance for this tier. Some companies produced internal newsletters or annual reports to disseminate across the company on a regular basis, but tended to rely on Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to share success stories.
SMEs were particularly strong in communicating milestones & outcomes across the company on a regular basis, often in-person.
By virtue of their size, SMEs relied mostly on in-person communication and "All-hands" meetings, rather than technology, although notably some of the larger companies had recently introduced newsletters from their recently formed CSR team (or Employee Resource Groups – ERGs)
Toggle through each tier below to explore the weakest areas of performance against this benchmark:
Whilst this tier performed okay in communicating success stories across the company, many mentioned not wanting to "toot their own horn" and a greater desire for third-parties to sing praises for them instead.
Most companies in this tier provided simple recognition for top volunteers (such as a gift voucher or pionts towards health benefits), but could do more to award wider teams and involve the wider company, as opposed to celebrating at the individual level only.
SMEs tended not to have implemented an awards system recognising employee volunteers / contributors. This needn't be a large affair though: a "gift card"-style recognition at the individual level seemed enough for companies at this stage of their lifecycle.
How tech might help
Tech was strongly correlated to high-performance against this benchmark (0.79 at a 99% CI) and often formed the basis for creative awards systems (i.e. getting the wider company to vote online or view through a webcast).
For SMEs, tech was less important for announcing company milestones given the typically close proximity of employees to one another.
Tech as an enabler
Accenture's formal staff award ceremony – the "Greater Than" award – allows teams worldwide to share their volunteering success stories by entering them into the competition. Shortlisted initiatives are then shared through a digital webcast providing all of Accenture's 425,000 employees the ability to vote on who wins at the final awards ceremony. This drastically increases the visibility of volunteerism across the company's many global locations.
IBM's internal awards process is made possible through their Volunteer Excellence Awards program in partnership with Credly (a provider of a global digital badging marketplace for accredited experiences and skills). The program awards individuals and team volunteers for their participating hours through Credly's Acclaim digital badging system (IBM Bronze 100 hours, IBM Silver 250 hours, IBM Gold 500 hours & IBM Platinum 4000 hours).
Education-specific best practice
Booz Allen partners with a number of educational nonprofit organisations and celebrates success stories through their hosted award ceremonies for participants. One particular initiative is with FIRST, an organisation inspiring young people's interest in STEM careers, and whom Booz have been a partner for 14 years.
Booz employees volunteer as mentors and advisors to FIRST, supporting their growth strategy and data analysis, but also hand out awards to student winners of FIRST's innovation competitions both globally and locally.
Square, a start-up providing point of sale payment solutions, regularly celebrates volunteering efforts at all levels. To engage the wider business in a bit of friendly competition, Square share an annual report internally recognising every local office's efforts. More frequently, they conduct "Volunteer Spotlights" to showcase incredible achievements at an individual and Employee Resource Group (ERG) level.

Super Bowl Sneak Peek, Eagles and Patriots Are Evenly Matched
Steve Balestrieri
January 30, 2018 at 2:10 pm ET
Follow @SteveB7SFG
This is shaping up to be a Super Bowl worthy of its name as the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for this Sunday's championship. And in the Super Bowl, you'll hardly find two teams more evenly matched.
The Patriots scored one more point offensively than the Eagles 458-457, and the Eagles allowed one less point defensively than the Patriots 295-296. It doesn't get much closer than that points wise. Both are 13-3 and both are the #1 seed in their respective conference. Both have had to overcome serious injuries to get here.
Philadelphia lost MVP candidate, QB Carson Wentz late in the season, offensive tackle Jason Peters and running back Darren Sproles. The Patriots lost Julian Edelman, linebacker Dont'a Hightower and tackle Marcus Cannon amongst others.
While the teams met in the 2015 season, both are very different from the ones who played in Gillette. We'll do a detailed break down of the key matchups later this week But here is our quick look at the Philadelphia Eagles and what we've seen in watching the film of some of their games this season.
Foles Shook Off Criticism to Play Very Well in the Playoffs:
Nick Foles is in his second stint with the Eagles and they are certainly glad he's back. After Wentz went down with a torn ACL, Foles stepped in and after some initial struggles to find his comfort level in the offense, he's been excellent in the postseason.
Foles has completed 77 percent of his throws in the playoffs with three touchdowns and more importantly zero interceptions. The important factor for Philly has been, they didn't have to change the offense with Foles at the helm.
With his comfort level in the pocket, the Eagles are clicking offensively. It will be the Patriots' defense to change that comfort level early in the game by disguising looks and pressures. Otherwise, it could be a long evening.
Run-Pass Option (you'll hear about this all week), RPO is NOT a New Star Wars Character:
One area of the Eagles offense that will be discussed a lot this week is the RPO. Foles and the Eagles carved up Minnesota's defense with this badly in the NFC Championship game. They took advantage of the Vikings aggressive nature and shredded them with it. The keys were the quick slants off of them, much in the manner that Jacksonville ran.
The Patriots, however, aren't an aggressive defense, but more of a read and react group. So the key from New England's perspective is maintaining gap integrity and setting the edge. Foles isn't as mobile as Wentz so he's not the threat to run that the starter was.
Linebacker play will be key here. With two good and very different styles of backs in LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi, Foles will have the option of handing it off or faking it and passing the ball in the quick open field.
The Eagles Run Defense is Excellent:
Philadelphia's run defense is #1 in the NFL allowing just 79.2 yards per game. It begins with the big men in the middle, Fletcher Cox, and Timmy Jernigan. They are the big, immovable objects in the center of the line.
They make things very tough to run in the middle of the field, exactly where the Patriots like to run. The stretch plays and the slow developing runs to the outside are very tough on this defense because of the way they flow to the ball.
The Jaguars defense made running the ball tough last week on the Patriots offense. The opportunities will be there but Josh McDaniels will have to be creative. Which segways into our next topic…
The Patriots Need to Find Success on Early Downs:
Philadelphia's subpackage defense is really tough. They go to a NASCAR type package in their pass rushers with Cox and moving Brandon Graham inside, then they still have Vinny Curry, Chris Long and Derek Barnett as their edge rushers.
While the Eagles don't blitz a ton but will send safeties or corners on third and long situations and don't rack up huge sack numbers, they do rack up a ton of QB pressure. Consistent pressure is what drives the defense and they're very good at it.
So from a Patriots perspective, they need to be successful on first and second down. Mix things up, use play-action passes which should be very effective against their linebackers and use the hurry up once they get a first down to keep the Eagles from substituting. Of course, they'll need to produce as well. Otherwise, it is just getting the Philly offense back on the field that much quicker.
The Eagles front four is deep and talented, arguably the best in the NFL. Getting in obvious passing situations on third down is inviting trouble and they'll respond by bringing the pressure. In their last four games, Philly's defense hasn't allowed more than 10 points.
The Tight Ends for Both Teams are the Focus:
While both offenses operate quite differently, the tight end in each is a big part of what makes them go. The Eagles boast three good tight ends with Zack Ertz, Brent Celek, and Trey Burton. Ertz was their leading receiver in 2017 and was Foles' go-to guy against the Vikings, completing first down after first down. He'll be matched up with Pat Chung and if New England is going to be successful, Ertz can't be allowed to become that kind of target again.
For New England, Rob Gronkowski (if he's healthy) is the gold-standard for TEs in the NFL. While Malcolm Jenkins will probably see him a lot in this matchup. The Eagles may try to pull a page out of Jacksonville's book and double up Gronk with Jenkins and Corey Graham. If that is the case, then the WRs will have to win one-on-one matchups.
Philly played a lot of zone coverage this year, Brady will pick those apart. Look for them to match up in man coverage. Their corners are ok but not great, they look better because of the pass rush, much like the Pittsburgh corners used to be in years past.
It is just another interesting piece of the chess match. We'll be back later this week with the full matchups and our prediction.

post covid syndrome awareness
Most people who have coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recover completely within a few weeks. But some people — even those who had mild versions of the disease — continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery.
These people sometimes describe themselves as "long haulers" and the conditions have been called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID-19." These health issues are sometimes called post-COVID-19 conditions. They're generally considered to be effects of COVID-19 that persist for more than four weeks after you've been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus.
Older people and people with many serious medical conditions are the most likely to experience lingering COVID-19 symptoms, but even young, otherwise healthy people can feel unwell for weeks to months after infection. Common signs and symptoms that linger over time include:
Memory, concentration or sleep problems
Muscle pain or headache
Fast or pounding heartbeat
Loss of smell or taste
Dizziness when you stand
Worsened symptoms after physical or mental activities.
Organ damage caused by COVID-19
Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can damage many other organs as well. This organ damage may increase the risk of long-term health problems. Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include:
Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.
Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.
Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Some adults and children experience multisystem inflammatory syndrome after they have had COVID-19. In this condition, some organs and tissues become severely inflamed
Blood clots and blood vessel problems
COVID-19 can make blood cells more likely to clump up and form clots. While large clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, much of the heart damage caused by COVID-19 is believed to stem from very small clots that block tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the heart muscle.
Other parts of the body affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels and cause them to leak, which contributes to potentially long-lasting problems with the liver and kidneys.
Problems with mood and fatigue
People who have severe symptoms of COVID-19 often have to be treated in a hospital's intensive care unit, with mechanical assistance such as ventilators to breathe. Simply surviving this experience can make a person more likely to later develop post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression and anxiety.
Because it's difficult to predict long-term outcomes from the new COVID-19 virus, scientists are looking at the long-term effects seen in related viruses, such as the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Many people who have recovered from SARS have gone on to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. The same may be true for people who have had COVID-19.
Many long-term COVID-19 effects still unknown
Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time, but research is ongoing. Researchers recommend that doctors closely monitor people who have had COVID-19 to see how their organs are functioning after recovery.
Many large medical centers are opening specialized clinics to provide care for people who have persistent symptoms or related illnesses after they recover from COVID-19. Support groups are available as well.
It's important to remember that most people who have COVID-19 recover quickly. But the potentially long-lasting problems from COVID-19 make it even more important to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by following precautions. Precautions include wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds, getting a vaccine when available and keeping hands clean.

This phone support 3G or HSDPA?
Nomia and iPhones are the ones to beat. This unit is definitely a top contenter but sad to say not there yet, needs to improve a bit more. Imagine a phone that battery can last for just an hour?
give me the name of the phone and a link to the phone showing a picture and/or a description.
Cool! thanks for the share.
i am getting a cell phone soon and want to buy this one if you have any idea please tell me.
i love HTC phones! windows mobile powered phone.. but that's not appropriate for stay at home moms.
The HTC Hero looks very cool. I love the Sense UI.
Windows Mobile is a dead OS as far as I am concerned.
The iPhone as the app store behind it. I don't see anyone matching Apple anytime soon.
I love my iPhone, nobody else in the world could replace it or have that functionality! Simply the best, but HTC looks very promising..
I heard so many god thing regarding HTC phone there are advantages and disadvantages from this phone, but still I have to go with iPhone.
HTC phone has now becoming popular on the market because of its new and unique features..
I am so confused,so people say myTouch 3g,some people say HTC magic.And some say HTC hero,some say it's G2! so are they 4 different phones? or what?
Hi, Lot of people like Nokia Why? Because They don;t know about HTC..Thanks For Information.
I have no doubts about what you said here, I completely agree!


The concept (or rather cultural practice) of so-called "honour killings" against women has its roots in the belief that women, unlike men, are mere objects and commodities. Indeed, its roots are buried in an idea that women are not – and cannot be – endowed with dignity and rights equal to those of men.
Dig down deeper, though, and you'll likely find the unpalatable fact that honour based violence in given cultures against women is a wanton activity carried out, principally, in order to completely control women and girls who happen to be within that community. The way they comport themselves – especially in relation to their sexuality – becomes strictly scrutinized, such as the manner in which they dress, how they communicate with men, their beliefs, etc.
Women are considered the property of male relatives and are thus seen to embody the honour of the men to whom they "belong." Women's bodies are considered the repositories of 'family honour'. The concepts of both male-status and family-status are of particular importance in cultures where honour-killings occur and where women are viewed as responsible for upholding a family's "honour." If a woman or girl is accused (or even suspected) of engaging in behaviour that could taint male and/or family status, she may face brutal retaliation from her relatives which, repugnantly, often results in violent-death.
The concept of honour killing (more broadly) used in the act of rationalising murder is built upon the misplaced idea that an individual's honour is anchored on how others behave and that such behaviours must be put in check and controlled. This notion therefore makes the behaviour of other individuals an integral part of one's self-esteem and community consideration. This idea of honour is completely unique in meaning from that idea of honour being completely dependent on an individual's personal behaviour and character. Honour, in the social relation concept, is described as an understanding of a power wielding group in their effort to define, expand, and protect its heritage in a competitive environment. Many traditional patriarchal societies have ironically defined honour as the operative views of a power wielding group to rely on the behaviours of other people for their own honour.
We know that the honour status and acceptability in the traditional society concept is dependent on the honour of the family or the clan, and this honour is anchored on the manner by which the female members of the community conduct themselves or behave.
However, in the realm of those more traditional societies, such as those in the middle-east, women cannot claim any right to honour as individuals who are distinct from that of the entire family unit, but their individual acts can result in dishonouring the family, especially acts pertaining to real or imagined sexual misconduct. Sadly, an immense negative power is assigned to the female members of the family with the result that any act of misconduct is said to bring dishonour to the entire male members in a community or family lineage.
What, though, constitutes the fulcrum of a woman's honour in societies where honour killings against women actually occur? Putting it another way, what central aspects of a woman's character seem to be inextricably linked to any "justification" for honour killing against women? It's fairly obvious: a woman's purity, her moral status, and her simplicity (whilst there's a lot of crossover here, I will keep these distinct for the sake of exposition). Indeed, a woman's purity mirrors her family's honour and status. This cruel eccentricity is kept in line by the systematic and harsh control imposed over women's social and sexual activities.
Female scholars in the field of social anthropology, as well as in other academic fields, have come up with completely new preferences and new sets of procedural methods that question the framework with which honour and shame are being presented by their male counterparts. So much so, there are two main (but different) sides involved with respect to a woman's perspective whenever the subject of honour and shame are discussed.
The first one was presented by a scholar, the preeminent radical Egyptian feminist El Saadawi, who has figured prominently on issues concerning Middle Eastern feminist literature and activism, as well as on the subject of honour. El Saadawi has a strong belief that honour crimes are nothing less than the murdering of women by those male members of her family for what they discern to be an act committed in violation of what is supposed to be the social standard with regards to sexuality, or just the mere suspicion that a woman has acted beyond the limits of perceived acceptable social behaviour that has been set by tradition.
The second perspective stresses the importance of efforts exerted in trying to incorporate a woman's unique experience and comprehension with regards to honour and shame. Such attempts have been met with considerable difficulties owing to the fact that most of the ancient literature being exclusively authored is from the point of view of a man. Anthropologists today still encounter obstacles in any attempt of gaining access to women's worlds – that is, their unique experiences. This is why this area is continuously experiencing change as questions are posed on old theories, while new theories are trialled. Despite the fact that the situation does not offer the opportunity to give definite answers, it is still important that some of these questions in discussion be pointed out.
As a result of numerous findings in studies, we must surely mention that most cases of so-called honour killing are documented in Muslim countries. Interestingly, intensified globalisation of Western culture brought into the open has exposed numerous violations of women's rights in Eastern culture which has lead to clashes in culture – introducing a wave of social norms that has led to women and girls shunning arranged and patriarchal marriage choices imposed on them by opting to choose their own partners. Such changes are, of course, angering many deeply religious traditional cultured indigenous individuals.
First is that honour killings have long been incorporated into the Islamic communities and it has gained approval in the Islamic nations of the Middle East (and countries such as India, Pakistan, Turkey and the Balkans) despite the fact of its origin being traced to pre-Islamic Arab tribalism.
Second, is the fitting of honour killing into a larger structure of custom that comes from the quality of a Muslim life without basically being Islamic but enjoying tacit endorsement of Muslim authorities. One such example is female circumcision known as female genital mutilation (FGM) mostly prevalent in Muslim African countries, yet such practice is never mentioned in any Islamic sacred texts and neither is it of Islamic origin, yet many religious authorities link the practice to Islamic principles. Specifically, female genital mutilation was a practice of pre-Islamic custom, but modern authorities of Islam felt that is worth Islamic concept.

Zinedine Zidane resigns as Real Madrid manager
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has announced that he is resigning, less than a week after securing the club's third consecutive Champions League title by beating Liverpool.
The Frenchman replaced Rafael Benitez in January 2016 and went on to win nine trophies – including the 2016/17 La Liga – despite it being his first senior job, only furthering the esteem with which he is held in the Spanish capital after a sparkling spell as a player between 2001 and 2006 following a move from Juventus.

A: The JAR file format is already compressed (using the Zip algorithm).  It is unlikely that you will be able to compress it more than a tiny fraction, if at all.

When I first heard about Automator it sounded cool, but I wasn't sure what I could use it for personally. After I had upgraded to Tiger, I got around to looking at automator and to be honest, I didn't see anything that would really help me. I looked at the sample workflows and there was nothing that applied to my everyday or even once in a while tasks.
First open Automator, select Finder in the Library and drag "Ask for Finder items", check the multiple option.
Save your workflow and then run it. Pretty cool. Other variations could substitute Get Folder Contents for step 1. Then you can just drop files you want to combine into that folder and run the command. You can include the Sort Finder Items to change the order the pdf files are combined (or you could just rename them in the finder). Now that I have a taste and feel for what Automator can really do, I have something else to play with/do in my non-existant free time. Here is the forum where I found this http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239682.

It was interesting I saw this because I had 3 apocalypse links itching to be shared.
What would you pack for the end of days is about a basement packed for an apocalypse that didn't come.
I try to make sense of the basement. I imagine that when the events of the End of Days began, John and Phyllis, among the saved, would have descended that narrow staircase to wait it out. They would have had ample reading material to keep them busy. They might have taken solace in the music of the great composers and in their menagerie of china animals. They would have feasted on caviar, chocolate, and wine. With all those bars of soap, they would have remained clean. Those meat hooks? Perhaps the resourceful John figured that once things settled down above ground, he could hunt the local deer and coyote and dry out their meat. And if they needed to wait to be taken up to Heaven, they would have been able to rebuild whatever part of their home was destroyed, using those saws and mallets and those thousands of nails. Who knows what world they would have reentered? But if the land was ravaged and landmarks were eradicated, they would have their maps to show them the way.
A piece in Religion Dispatches tracks down Harold Camping devotees a year after he said the world would end.
I was struck by how some believers edited the past in order to avoid acknowledging that they had been mistaken. The engineer in his mid-twenties, the one who told me this was a prophecy rather than a prediction, maintained that he had never claimed to be certain about May 21. When I read him the transcript of our previous interview, he seemed genuinely surprised that those words had come out of his mouth. It was as if we were discussing a dream he couldn't quite remember.
The worst-case scenario for an asteroid strike is seven billion deaths, as we all return to being star-stuff. The chance that would happen, and the preparation required to fend off any near-earth object, is less obvious. In the movies, fixing the problem was left to Bruce Willis's character in Armageddon and Robert Duvall's character in Deep Impact, who separately go up in spaceships and sacrifice their lives to destroy the respective asteroid and comet.

British Airways cuts 10,300 more flights through October
British Airways has cancelled 13 percent of its total 2022 summer schedule./AFP
Jul 07, 2022 - 01:45 AM
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — British Airways on Wednesday axed another 10,300 short-haul flights up to the end of October, with the aviation sector battling staff shortages and booming demand as the pandemic recedes.
The carrier, which is owned by conglomerate International Airlines Group (IAG), added in a statement that it had now cancelled 13 percent of its total summer schedule.
BA has been among the worst affected by sector-wide turmoil, as carriers race to meet soaring demand after the lifting of Covid travel restrictions.
"The whole aviation industry continues to face into significant challenges and we're completely focussed on building resilience into our operation to give customers the certainty they deserve," the airline said in a statement, having already announced hundreds of flight cancellations this summer.
The latest move meanwhile comes less than two weeks after BA staff at London Heathrow airport voted to strike over pay this summer as surging inflation erodes wages and sparks growing UK industrial unrest.
The carrier's Heathrow ground staff voted by more than 90 percent in favour of walkouts.
Wednesday's news also comes after the British government recently offered "slot alleviation measures" which allow carriers to temporarily reduce schedules while retaining valuable take-off and landing slots.
"While taking further action is not where we wanted to be, it's the right thing to do for our customers and our colleagues," BA added on Wednesday.
"This new flexibility means that we can further reduce our schedule and consolidate some of our quieter services so that we can protect as many of our holiday flights as possible."
The group sought to reassure customers but conceded it would have a considerable impact on travel plans.
"While most of our flights are unaffected and the majority of customers will get away as planned, we don't underestimate the impact this will have and we're doing everything we can to get their travel plans back on track," BA added.
"We're in touch to apologise and offer rebooking options for new flights with us or another airline as soon as possible or issue a full refund."
In a vote of confidence in the aviation sector's long-term recovery, IAG last week ordered 11 Airbus A320neo aircraft and three A321neos worth $1.7 billion.
The London-listed conglomerate recently forecast a return to annual profit after narrowing Covid-induced losses as travel curbs were eased.
The group collapsed into annual losses in 2020 and 2021 as Covid ravaged global demand for international air travel, forcing BA and its peers to slash thousands of jobs.
IAG owns various airlines that also include Ireland's Aer Lingus and Spain's Iberia.

Native women are being murdered in Minnesota
Recent murders in Minnesota are part of a larger story of violence.
By Mariam Ahmed January 25, 2016
A report in The Guardian has highlighted the disappearances and murders of at least five Native American women in the Duluth, Minnesota area since last May. Activists in the community have said that these murders were most likely linked to sex trafficking in the area. Duluth's port has long been a hub for sex trafficking operations, with Native American women in nearby communities being particularly vulnerable to exploitation and violence.
This trend in Northern Minnesota is indicative of a broader history of systemic violence and institutional neglect affecting Native American women. Throughout the United States, Native American women suffer disproportionately from sexual violence, with a third of them expected to experience it in their lifetime. Sexual violence has become such a common part of Native females' lives that some talk about "when" they will be raped, not "if."
Among other racial groups in the United States, most violent crimes are intraracial. In contrast, about 80 percent of reported assaults against Native women are committed by non-Native men. This is in large part because, although tribal reservations have their own separate laws and court systems, these do not apply to non-Native individuals. Non-Natives have thus found it easy to commit crimes such as rape on Native territory with virtual immunity from legal consequences.
It was only in 2013 that Congress partially closed this loophole by giving tribes the power to prosecute in cases of domestic violence and sexual abuse between a Native American and a non-Native partner. However, such crimes between strangers are still not covered. As has been the case in Duluth, police officers have often been unable – or even unwilling – to pursue cases of violence against Native women or undertake serious searches if they go missing. Many Native survivors don't see the point in reporting acts of sexual violence to law enforcement at all.
The un-navigable patchwork of legal jurisdictions currently governing Native women's lives puts an this already extremely marginalized population at risk. Crimes against Native women in communities like Duluth will continue until the law is reformed to fully protect them, and authorities take this problem seriously.

Grand Teton National Park: Backpacking the Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon Loop
On March 14, 2017 March 22, 2017 By LauraIn Adventure, Uncategorized
Bonus points if you can find Chris in this picture 😉
Oh, Grand Teton National Park! Of all the places we dreamed about visiting on our two-month road trip, I think I was MOST excited about the Tetons. A quick Google photos search will show you why I had permanent heart-eyes daydreaming about this place.
Of course, with our adventure pup Callie in tow, our options for national park sightseeing were mostly limited to scenic drives and the occasional paved trail—because those are (generally) the only spots where you're allowed to take dogs. But we simply couldn't visit the Tetons without a little backpacking action! After researching local kennels, we decided to board Callie for a few days so we could get out in the backcountry.
As for which trail to hike, the choice was obvious: the 19-mile Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon loop. This popular trail circles through the center of the park, cutting into the mountains through Paintbrush Canyon on one side and Cascade Canyon on the other. In between, the trail reaches its pinnacle at the Paintbrush Divide: a 10,700 ft. vista offering a sweeping 360-degree view of the Tetons' signature rocky peaks.
This is the route, as outlined on the free map that the park provides. Green areas are where camping is allowed (but only on designated sites and with a permit).
And here's where the trail is situated within the park. (The red square is what's in the close-up photo.)
If you're graced with good weather, this trail promises the best that the Tetons have to offer: dense evergreen forests, alpine lakes, towering cliffs, wildflowers, stunning vistas, and even a good chance to spot wildlife. (Let's just say you do NOT want to forget your bear spray on this one.)
So it's no surprise that it's also the most popular trail in the park for backpackers—and even ambitious day hikers. But we crossed our fingers that going in early September meant we would miss the worst of the crowds (without having to ice-ax our way across slippery mountain passes).
There are several ways to approach this hike. We decided to tackle it counter-clockwise and give ourselves plenty of time (two nights and nearly three days). Knowing we'd have a late start after dropping Callie off at the boarder's, we also opted for a shorter hike on day one. We were (thankfully) able to reserve the backcountry passes we needed, so our route looked like this:
The night before our trek, we splurged on a hotel room in Jackson Hole—totally worth it, since we had been camping for the past week or so. We picked up our permits at the ranger station the day before, which meant all we had to do the next morning was drop Callie off at the boarder's, grab a quick lunch, and head into the park!
[A quick disclaimer before I begin: all distances/elevation are all approximate, and I would say we are fairly average hikers in speed and ability.]
Day One: String Lake Trailhead to Lower Paintbrush Canyon
Distance: ~4 miles
Elevation change: ~1,000 ft. gain
Hiking time: 2 hours
After finding a parking spot in the String Lake lot, we donned our packs and hit the trail—once we found the trailhead, that is. It's a busy area with intersecting trails and lots of day hikers, and we were pulling out our maps no more than 10 minutes after leaving the car. But we found the right trail before long and set off at about 1:30 p.m. A late start, but that was expected (and why we reserved the closest camping area for night #1).
Starting off along the edge of String Lake
After looping around String Lake, the trail ducked into the trees and started gaining altitude at a steady, but reasonable, pace.
Heading up and into the forest!
We were mentally prepared for a tough hike, knowing we had full packs and about a 1,000 ft. elevation gain to cover that day. But we were also full of first-day excitement and buoyed by the beautiful views, so we made good time. Just two hours later, we were surprised to find ourselves already at the edge of the Lower Paintbrush Canyon camping zone.
With plenty of time before sundown, we checked out all the available campsites before settling on our favorite: a large spot with a flat area for the tent and a perfect cooking rock nearby. We already had a couple of neighbors, but the sites were spread out enough to still give us plenty of solitude.
Campsite #1 at Lower Paintbrush Canyon
Dinnertime!
With camp all set up by 4:00 p.m., we settled in to relax. I loved it at first, reading in the sun in my Crazy Creek. But then the temperature—already chilly at 3:00 p.m.—quickly started dropping. When the sun disappeared behind a cliff at about 5:00, we had already piled on all of our layers. We held out until 6:00 p.m. before making dinner (dehydrated Pad Thai), which we inhaled as much for the heat as for the calories. Then, without a fire to warm us up, there was nothing else to do but get in bed. At 7:45. It wasn't dark out, and we weren't tired, but MAN it felt good to snuggle up in my down sleeping bag! Luckily, I had a list of conversation starters with me—so, warm and cozy in our sleeping bags, we talked about who we'd invite to imaginary dinner parties until the day caught up to us and we drifted off to sleep.
Day Two: Lower Paintbrush Canyon to North Fork Cascade
Elevation change: ~2,000 ft. gain followed by ~2,000 ft. drop
Hiking time: 8 hours (including lunch and breaks)
Day Two: SUMMIT DAY. At least, that's the mindset I should have had. But with a good night's sleep and an easy Day One hike under our belts, we started off on Day Two feeling confident…perhaps a little too confident.
The first long stretch of trail continued climbing up and out of the canyon. Despite the endless switchbacks, we were in great spirits. It might have also had something to do with the incredible beauty surrounding us.
Starting Day Two in Paintbrush Canyon
Groups of other hikers passed by us pretty regularly, but we also hiked for stretches of time with no company other than some adorable pika, which darted out of the rocks to alert their friends to our presence with high-pitched squeals.
Pica: like a cross between a mouse and a baby bunny!
As we climbed, Jenny and Jackson lakes shrunk beneath us—and the views only got more and more magnificent. Roughly every 10 minutes, one of us would look up and exclaim, "Look at the view NOW!!!" For lunch, we found a rock outcropping just off the trail where we could munch on our summer-sausage-and-cheese tortillas while gazing out at this sight:
Not too shabby for a lunchtime view.
And then we kept going. Up and up and up some more. As our legs started getting tired, the air started getting thinner. Soon, we climbed out of the tree cover and into a much rockier, more barren landscape.
I could make a "Where's Waldo"-style book with the photos I have of Chris hiking this trail.
See that tiny patch of snow waaaaaay off in the distance between those peaks? Yep, that's where we're headed!
We arrived at the edge of the Upper Paintbrush camping zone in mid-afternoon, and I was glad we hadn't chosen a route that included an overnight stay there. With no tree cover, no water (not that we found, anyway) and at a 10,000-foot elevation, we would have been in for a rough (and VERY cold) night.
Unfortunately, our arrival at Upper Paintbrush also made one fact very clear: we had a long way left to go. Somewhere along the way I had miscalculated the distance, thinking that our Day Two hike would only be a little bit longer than Day One. But at this point, I busted out the map and realized that we still had nearly six miles more to hike—including a 700-foot climb to the Paintbrush Divide, then another 2,000 feet down to our campsite. Oops. No way could we afford to be exhausted yet.
All smiles for a 10,000-foot selfie. Almost there!
As we headed up into the pass, the hike began to feel VERY different from anything I've ever hiked back east. Every once in a while, the towering, rocky cliffs emitted a low rumble—an acute reminder that death by rock slide is a thing, and also that we weren't just going for a walk in the woods. We were climbing a mountain!
Only a few months out of the year can you safely hike this part of the trail without crampons and an ice ax.
For the last quarter mile or so leading up to the divide, the trail became, basically, loose piles of rocks arranged into the rough shape of a path. My heart—already beating quickly from the thin air—started pounding if I looked over the edge into the valley below. So I focused on the climb. I was happy to have my single hiking pole for an extra bit of balance.
Looking straight ahead on the "trail." It's hard to see, but about a yard to Chris's right is a steep drop-off.
And the stunning but vertigo-inducing view down below!
And then, FINALLY, we reached the top! We paused in the biting wind long enough to take in the expansive view and snap some victory photos.
But we couldn't linger for long—partly because of the freezing cold wind, but mainly because we still had several more miles and a 2,000-foot descent ahead of us. On the other side of the divide, we were immediately greeted by a whole new angle of Tetons beauty: glittering alpine lakes in one direction, and the majestic Cathedral Peaks in the other.
We even passed by a few lingering wildflowers!
At this point, I was about ready to be done hiking. And as we started descending toward Lake Solitude down in the valley, I could suddenly see a gorgeous photo in my mind's eye: sunlight sparking off of the lake and the Cathedral Peaks, illuminated by the late afternoon light, rising up in the background. But as we hiked, the sunlight started slowly disappearing behind the mountain in front of us (my perfect photo disappearing with it). We hiked faster and faster until I was practically jogging down the trail, which felt like it would never end. Like we were hiking toward a mirage. But thankfully, we did finally make it—just in time for me to get my photo before the perfect light faded away.
Totally worth running down a mountain with a full pack on for this shot.
About 20 minutes later (hiking at a normal pace again), we reached the North Fork camping zone. Just in time to set up camp and cook dinner before passing out with exhaustion. This time, we were perfectly happy to go to bed early!
Day Three: North Fork Cascade to String Lake Trailhead
Elevation change: ~1,000 ft. descent
Our last day on the trail left us with easy terrain (just under a thousand feet to descend), but a decent amount of ground still to cover. It would have been easy if it weren't for our aching muscles and sore hips. But, believe it or not, the hike was still gorgeous!
About halfway through, we came upon a small traffic jam on the trail, which turned out to be caused by a large male moose. He was just chilling near the stream—far enough from the trail not to be a concern, but close enough to make out the outline of his GIANT antlers. We opted not to try to get any closer.
The last few miles were the toughest for us—we were so sore and exhausted, but after reaching Jenny Lake, we had to hike all the way around it (on a very exposed and hot section of the trail, due to a recent fire) and THEN another quarter mile past the trailhead to where we had actually parked.
Jenny Lake
Finally, what felt like hours later, we made it back to the car at about 2:00 p.m. We were sweaty and exhausted, but victorious, having successfully hiked the full Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon loop!
This is at the edge of Jenny Lake, literally steps from the parking area.
THE BOTTOM LINE: What to know about the Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon Loop
I'm not sure there's a wrong way to do this trail—the views will be spectacular no matter which direction you hike, and you can do it in one day or three, depending on your fitness level and preference. Personally, I was happy with our plan of attack. The camping spots were nicer in Lower Paintbrush and North Fork Cascade, and a slower pace allowed us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves (and take ample photos).
The Tetons are bear country. You MUST bring bear spray and a bear canister with you, and follow bear safety protocol to protect yourself, other hikers, and the bears themselves.
Permits are required for backcountry camping, and camping is only allowed in established sites within designated camping areas.
Campfires are not allowed along this route.
There is plenty of water along most of the trail, except for the highest altitude area (from Upper Paintbrush to Lake Solitude).
Elevation is no joke! It's not debilitating, but it will slow you down near the summit if you're not acclimated to higher altitudes. Make sure to drink plenty of water and pack extra sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong rays.
If you're hiking the route clockwise (Cascade Canyon to Paintbrush), you might want to take advantage of the ferry that will take you across Jenny Lake.
BONUS: Hermitage Point
This post is already way, WAY too long, but the story of our Tetons backpacking trip wouldn't be complete without a few shots from the spot where we spent our last night in the park: Hermitage Point, a small peninsula jutting out into massive Jackson Lake.
The goal was to spend our last night in the park in a more secluded spot, relaxing by the lake (where you're also allowed to build campfires). Unfortunately, we underestimated just how exhausted we would be upon finishing the Paintbrush-Cascade loop. The five extra miles that we had to hike—while they would have been easy under most circumstances—were brutal, and I whined the entire way. But just when I told Chris that I was going to cry if we rounded one more bend without seeing our campsite, we finally made it—just in time to enjoy dinner by the fire as the sun set over the water.
And, as always, it was worth it.

Beautiful photos! I've been to the Tetons but I've never ventured that far into the backcountry. Looks like I'm missing out on a lot. This looks like it was an incredible hike and congrats on completing it!
Thanks, Diana! Next time you visit the Tetons, I definitely recommend getting out into the backcountry. 🙂
Great post! My wife and I are looking to do this exact loop next year. Knowing what you know now would you recommend doing the hike from String Lake to the Upper Paintbrush campsites? I was thinking of a route that would start at String->Upper Paint then Upper Paint -> North Fork and then hike out the next day. Besides the first day being longer and the second day being shorter, and the Upper campsites not being as good which are all very compelling reasons! Do you think that would be as enjoyable as your route? What were the temps at night? Thank you!!!
Hey Dustin, thanks for reading! You and your wife will LOVE this hike — I don't think there's a "wrong" way to do it; it mainly depends on the time you have and the weather. I would say that String Lake to Upper Paintbrush to North Fork is a better route, distance-wise — we had a really short Day One hike and a long and exhausting Day Two. But, the campsites at Lower Paintbrush are definitely better. (More water, less exposed, lower elevation). I can't quite remember the temperature, but it was probably around 30-40 F at Lower Paintbrush in early September. So it's a trade-off between distance and campsites. Good luck and have an amazing time!!

Q: How to load mongodb URI from .env file on heroku? I am a beginner to MERN stack and I deployed my nodejs app to heroku but the app is unable to connect to mongodb atlas and data from the database does not load when I give the mongodb uri via an environment variable.It works fine when I directly give the uri via a variable.Also when run locally,the app connects to atlas without any problem using environment variable.Any idea why its not working on heroku and how to fix it?
server.js
const express = require('express'); //nodejs framework for creating web apps
const cors = require('cors');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const path = require('path');

require('dotenv').config(); //for setting environment variables on server

const app = express(); //creating the app

//Serve static assets if in production
if(process.env.NODE_ENV ==='production'){
    //Set static folder
    app.use(express.static('client/build'));

    app.get('*',(req, res) => {
        res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname,'client','build','index.html'));
    });
}
////////////////////////////////////////
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.use(cors()); //for cross origin resource sharing ie.cross domain requests
app.use(express.json()); //for handling json data

const uri = process.env.ATLAS_URI;
//its works fine when I give it as below
//const uri="mongodb+srv://jose:<password>@exercisecluster-rmqkg.gcp.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

mongoose.connect(uri,{ useNewUrlParser: true, useCreateIndex: true ,useUnifiedTopology: true });
const connection = mongoose.connection;
connection.once('open',() => {
    console.log('Database connection established successfully');
})

const exercisesRouter = require('./routes/exercises');
const usersRouter = require('./routes/users');

//executes the files in the second argument when user enters the url 'rooturl/firstargument'
app.use('/exercises',exercisesRouter);
app.use('/users',usersRouter);

app.listen(port,() => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port:${port}`);
});

A: In your heroku project you need to setup an env variable ATLAS_URI and enter the value for your mongodb uri.
To do so go to the settings tab in your heroku app, then click on reveal config vars, and then enter the key and value for your mongo uri.
Hope this helps

8 Countries Have Cancelled Hajj 2020 This Year, Stoping Citizen To Go For Pilgrimage
The authorities of Saudi Arabia are planning to call off this year's Hajj, initially after the Kingdom's establishment in 1932, as the coronavirus cases exceed 1 lac, reported by Saudi Ministry's Senior Official to the British newspaper- Financial Times.
He further added that they carefully examined the situation and other scenarios were in focus as well. Within a week, a final decision would appear.
These are the 8 countries which have canceled Hajj for their citizens due to coronavirus
Hajj, which is to be executed this year at the end of July, appears in the largest known religious gatherings of the world by attracting at least 2 million pilgrims reaching the Kingdom to follow the Islamic rituals.
They can also plan to limit the pilgrims from every country this year. Moreover, apart from a main religious ritual, it is a big source of foreign revenue for Saudi Arabia. Reuters stated that the official data reveals the earning of the kingdom from Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages amounting to 12 billion dollars each year.
With the increased cases in the pandemic, Saudia requested the nations to hold their Hajj plans and call off the Umrah pilgrimages.
They further noted that some of the Saudia Officials are trying to call off this year's Hajj. Moreover, some of them are demanding restrictions to a certain number from each country such as; banning elderly people and extra health examinations.
They stated that with strict measures, the authorities think it would be possible to allow only up to 20% from each nation's regular portion of pilgrims.
The decision of calling off the Hajj or even limiting it would appear unfavorable in terms of Saudi, as compared to its plans of enhancing their capacity for religious tourism.

Bluedawn - Bluedawn (CD)
Record Label: Black Widow Records.
Blue Dawn's quick rise to prominence in Northern Italy may have gained them a loyal following in a short space of time, but musically this release suffers because of it.
Formed in 2009 by experienced Genova musicians Andrea Di Martino (drums) and Enrico Lanciaprima (bass) they quickly recruited vocalist Monica Santo and went through a series of auditions to find a guitarist after their original choice, 'La Faci' was forced to leave, due to heath issues.
Snapped up quickly by Black Widow Records, the quartet began recording demo tracks in no time at all, however, the euphoric excitement of recording a full-length debut, appears to have had a negative effect on the songwriting and ideas process.
Although the quartet name checks the likes of: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin as influences, Blue Dawn's guitar-driven hard rock is loaded with goth-tinged vocals and the sweep and grandeur of symphonic-prog.
The overblown orchestral flourish of 'Crossing The Acheron' is a statement of Euro-metal intent, and an early attempt to appeal to the fans of mainstream melodramatic metal such as: Evanescence and Nightwish.
In contrast, the conventional driving metal slab of 'The Hell I Am' demonstrates what a great falsetto Monica Santo possesses, as her soaring operatic voice adds much needed character into a band that covers the been-there-down-that sound of '80s metal.
'Inner Wounds' floats past fairly anonymously, before the slightly, punchier 'Dead Zone' incorporates the haunted quality of spiritualised metal. Unfortunately for the Italian's there are too many tracks that apart from creating dark and atmospheric illusions do not utilise the potential of guitarist Paolo Cruschelli, and this release therefore suffers.
Concluding with the lengthy and slightly bizarre eight-minute accordion-rock passage of 'Deconstructing People' Blue Dawn is a mixed affair - the majority of the time merely competent, yet at others gothically grand.


IN MID-JANUARY, the gavel of power will change hands in the U.S. Senate. Mitch McConnell, in a touching act of cross-party reconciliation, will reach across the aisle and forcefully pry the symbol of legislative authority from the desperate grip of Harry Reid. Although the outgoing majority leader said after the midterms, "I have been able to strike a compromise with my Republican colleagues, and I'm ready to do it again," Reid later clarified that what he meant was the compromise he would strike would be across the knuckles.
After warding off repeated blows, however, McConnell will be the new leader of the Senate, a massive change in political power that will go virtually unnoticed to the public, since he and Reid are both grim-faced, elderly white men whose rare smiles cause parents to cover their children's eyes and bring their pets indoors.
Indistinguishable in their sour demeanors, they are like brothers separated at birth: two joyless Caucasian babies muttering in their hospital cribs, already soured by the knowledge their lives will be spent in fruitless conflict, the only bright spot being they'll have comfortable leather seating at work.
Both men are well into their seventh decade, with most of their adulthood spent in politics, another reminder that the true power of incumbency is simply outliving everybody else.

Andrew was saved at home on October 30, 1983, as a 6 year old boy, in Columbia, Missouri, where his family was living as his dad was helping another man start a church. One of his earliest memories, and for certain his first memory after having trusted Jesus as his Saviour, was that he wanted to run down the street to where his Sunday school teacher lived and tell her that he had trusted Christ. Because it was 11:30 at night, his parents wouldn't let him go tell her until the next day. However, from that day to this, he has had an insatiable desire to continue to tell everybody about salvation.
Andrew says that one of the greatest decisions he's ever made was to marry the gal that God prepared for him. In the spring of 1998, at church, he met a family with 12 children, 8 of whom were girls. In his 'humble' opinion, the best of them was naturally the 'second' daughter. Melissa, the daughter of David and Bette Owens had been praying for years for God to lead the man who would become her husband someday, to her. When their family moved to the area and joined his church later that year, it was only a matter of months before it was obviously apparent to both of them and to their parents that this was a union that God had planned.
Melissa also grew up in a Baptist home, as her parents served the Lord in various capacities. Her Dad pastors today in California. As a very young child she expressed an interest in salvation but in later years she was having some misgivings. At the age of 15, at a revival meeting held in her church, she went forward and her mom led her to Jesus Christ at the altar.
In the fall of 1999, Andrew and Melissa were married. God has blessed them since, with eight children who excitedly serve right alongside them in the ministry.
Through the years, God has allowed the Logues the privilege to have served under, worked for, and learned from, some of the most influential church builders of our generation. They are looking forward to the great things God has planned for their future as they plant Independent Baptist Churches in the Tidewater Region of VIRGINIA.

Q: How to debug runtime crash (not segmentation fault) in Linux I develop complex server program for Linux. It uses thousands of parallel SSL connections and implements custom protocol that serves client applications.
The problem is that this program sometimes crashes. It shows Terminated message in terminal and stops to work. I enabled automatic core dump to get crash report and analyze it with GDB. However, for any reason Linux (CentOS) doesn't create core dump. It looks like it creates core dump for segmentation fault only (I run ulimit -c unlimited, and when I provoke segmentation fault, dump is created).
Why Linux doesn't create core dump when software stops to work and shows Terminated message, and how to debug such issues if they exist in production enviroment only and never appear in test computer?

Adrenal masses are found on approximately 1% of abdominal CT or MRI scans. If the scan was done for a reason other than to look for an adrenal mass, then the term 'incidentaloma' is applied to the mass that is found.
The first step if such a mass is found is to perform specialised blood and urine tests to make sure the mass is not producing too much hormone. This can lead to Conn's or Cushing's syndrome, or be associated with a phaeochromocytoma, as discussed in the previous sections.
If the mass is not producing hormones, and the person has had a previous cancer, then a needle biopsy of the mass may be indicated, to see if the mass could have resulted from spread of the previously treated cancer. If this is the case, and there are no other signs of tumour spread, then removal of the affected adrenal gland may be curative.
If the mass is not producing hormones, and the person has not had a previous cancer, then the decision whether to surgically remove the adrenal gland depends on its size and appearance on the scan. If the mass is bigger than 4cm, or looks concerning on the scan, then operation to remove the affected gland should be considered. This is because the mass is more likely to be a cancer arising from the adrenal gland itself if it is bigger than 4cm in size. It should be emphasised, however, that cancer arising from the adrenal gland is very rare, and affects only 1-2 people per million per year. Most masses larger than 4cm, therefore, turn out to be non-cancerous (benign), but often the only way to tell this for sure is for a pathologist to examine the entire mass under a microscope after removal.
Masses up to around 10cm can be removed using a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) technique, but for masses greater than 10cm, or in those where the scan is very suspicious of cancer, then the operation should be performed through a larger scar across the abdomen (belly) or flank.

Immigration as River of No Return
There's Something about America
Cultural integration is a critical ingredient in immigrants' success: only after profound grasp of the culture are people free to act and succeed.
Integration doesn't mean abandoning one's own culture, although many are wary of "acculturation"—a term that continually strikes me, an immigrant from Ukraine, as condescending. Why? Because it implies that a villain with next-to-no culture should acquire the cultural ways of a more civilized nation. This idea is often wrong and always rude to new Americans.
I much prefer to talk about cultural integration as absorption of the new culture: modifying one's behavior and thinking through contacts with the native-born. A certain amount of disappointment/disillusionment is natural, because no society is perfect. But, like it or not, it's a one-way ticket and de-integration is mission impossible: once the American cultural bug is in, we carry it for life.
And once exposed to US-American culture, many immigrants willingly dive deeper into it, time and again delighted by the cultural traits they felt were missing in their own cultures. Some become Americanized to the point they feel 100% American and at home; their countries of origin fade into the beautiful memories of youth. Especially for these successful immigrants, immigration is "a river of no return."
American Cultural DNA
Now, what is there about America that it can convert the firmest original identities into US-American? It's all about the combination of opportunities in America and the special nature of American culture—its diversity and inclusiveness, developed over the centuries. The useful term "American cultural DNA" provides a framework for understanding the complexities of the US culture. As introduced by Dorothy Bonvillain and William McGuire, it's "metaphorically similar" to our unique biological DNA, although not as clearly defined. Every form of cultural expression is a manifestation of American cultural DNA: our values, sense of identity, norms and forms of government, language, arts, and more. This is what immigrants need to make their own as they integrate.
Natalia Pérez de Herrasti, author of Gramática de la Cultura, says that culture flows like a river—and cultures tend to "describe the river, not the ships sailing in it. People afloat in the stream of their culture are carried along in the direction in which it flows." It's difficult for those who are afloat in the main torrent as it rushes downstream, but this is where the immigrants need to be: in this mainstream, not backwaters—if they want to integrate and succeed in America.
Integrating and Commanding Respect
The politicians tortuously obstructing immigration reform in Congress have limited knowledge and little imagination to see the big picture. Otherwise, they'd notice all the benefits that our immigrants bring to the table, including the best talent the world has to offer.
See for yourself in these two examples of immigrant women leaders who are profoundly integrated, contribute to America's well-being and cultural DNA, and command respect at all levels:
Irene Natividad, from the Philippines—Committed to a Cause
Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women and the first Asian-American to head the National Women's Political Caucus, is committed to promoting women globally. She came to the US to study in college. Previously, she'd attended American schools as her family moved from country to country. These frequent moves made Irene adept at communicating with people from different cultures and also aware of the limited options available to women worldwide—and this shaped her career choices.
The longer immersed in America, the more deeply she appreciated its culture: "My favorite [feature] is the ability for anyone to reinvent himself/herself, plus a possibility to be a success through sheer work. In Europe, especially in Britain, they would always remember that you [had been] a taxi-driver, no matter how advanced you became. In the US you'll be honored and saluted on your accomplishment." On her way from academia to global women's advocacy, Irene reinvented herself at least twice.
Says Irene, "I am totally US-American: in my style, in what I do, in values and energy, in efficiency." But she admits that both Asia and America own her. Being bicultural/multi-cultural allows her to understand people in-depth and lead global organizations.
Rohini Anand, from India—Full Circle Leadership
Dr. Anand, an SVP and Global CDO for Sodexo, a recipient of multiple prestigious awards, is widely considered a leading expert on organizational change, diversity, and inclusion. She went a long way to become the global leader she is today.
Rohini came to do graduate studies at the University of Michigan. She married, and the couple moved back to India—with the intention of staying for good. However, after 3 years, they realized that India was not for them—and they returned. Why? Rohini came to love the American culture, with its integrity, hard work, can-do attitude, and a strong volunteer mentality. Most importantly, their values changed in America, and they wanted their daughters to grow up with these important values. Also, she found work satisfaction: "I realized that I changed tremendously in America…and what I valued most was the possibility to make an impact for what I did, in the workplace…I came into my own in the US." Now she feels confident, "The US is home, not India." Her cultural heritage helps her to stay on course, navigating Sodexo's diversity and inclusion as a global business imperative.
Many of the women leaders I interviewed for my upcoming book have become so well-integrated that they fit in perfectly—which conditioned them for success. They introduced fresh perspectives on societal or corporate innovations, thus fulfilling the immigrants' frequent role as an eternal source of renewal in a nation that prides itself on its continuous reinvention.
The waterways of all-American culture are open for divers comfortable with its profound depths. This integration perspective led me—and many others—to transition from curious snorkelers to fully engaged scuba-divers and deep-water swimmers in this mighty river we call America—and home!

Trump is echoing his QAnon-connected orbit of advisers when he claims he'll be reinstated as president
Written by Alex Kaplan
Former President Donald Trump reportedly believes that he will somehow return to office in the coming months, a belief that fits with claims from supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory and far-right message boards. And it appears to have come through his QAnon-connected orbit of advisers who have egged on his voter fraud grievances and who continue to suggest Trump can and should be reinstalled into office based on those false claims.
The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported on June 1 that Trump "has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August." As Haberman noted, Trump's expectation has no basis in reality. But it echoes a claim that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has pushed. Lindell -- who has been making false claims of voter fraud for months -- appeared on Steve Bannon's show War Room: Pandemic in March and said that "Trump will be back in office in August" based on supposed evidence of voter fraud. At the time, Lindell's baseless statement -- which he also made around that time on multiple shows -- was hyped by some QAnon supporters and on far-right message boards.
Other figures influencing Trump since last November have also claimed that Trump could somehow come back into office. Attorney Sidney Powell, appearing at a QAnon conference in Dallas on May 29, said that due to supposed voter fraud, Trump could be "reinstated" into office and President Joe Biden forced out of the White House.
The following day, at that same QAnon conference, former national security adviser Michael Flynn was asked why a military coup could not happen in the United States like it did in Myanmar. In response, he said, "No reason. I mean, it should happen here." Although Flynn later tried to walk it back, his statement echoed the widespread praise of the Myanmar coup among the QAnon community and its members' hope of a similar situation in the United States.
These three figures had not only advised Trump following the 2020 election, but they also have multiple other connections to QAnon. Lindell, who met with Trump in the days before Biden's inauguration, had at that time floated Trump using martial law to stay in office, a call that had been pushed by QAnon supporters. Lindell has also shared voter fraud conspiracy theories from the QAnon community, including content from 8kun, the message board site where the central figure of QAnon is based. Since Biden's inauguration, Lindell has associated with the hosts of a QAnon show, which he has appeared on and praised, and is apparently signing QAnon merchandise for auction. Lindell has also apparently offered "QAnon" as a promo code on MyPillow.
Powell and Flynn have even more explicitly promoted QAnon. Before speaking at the QAnon conference, Powell had repeatedly amplified QAnon influencers, tweeted QAnon language, and appeared on QAnon YouTube shows. Following the election, she cited Ron Watkins, the onetime administrator of 8kun, and other QAnon-connected figures and claims in her lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results in certain states.
Similarly, Flynn (whom Powell has represented) had taken a QAnon oath, signed books with the QAnon slogan "wwg1wga" (short for "where we go one, we go all"), helped sell QAnon merchandise, appeared on QAnon-supporting shows, and hung out with the same QAnon influencer Lindell has become friendly with. Flynn, like Lindell, also encouraged Trump to declare martial law after the election.
Before Biden's inauguration, Trump had floated making Powell a special counsel on election fraud and Flynn the director of the FBI or White House chief of staff.
But these three are also not the only people through whom QAnon theories were reaching Trump. Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne -- who has gone on multiple QAnon shows to push voter fraud claims and recently has associated with the same QAnon influencer Lindell and Flynn have associated with -- met with Trump post-election. And Lin Wood, a QAnon-supporting attorney who has falsely claimed that Trump is still president, had been aiding Trump's campaign post-election.
Fundamentally, this voter fraud orbit around Trump -- Lindell, Powell, Flynn, Byrne, and Wood -- is part of a pipeline from QAnon supporters and far-right message boards promoting the conspiracy theory that Trump will somehow come back into office. This theory has taken a variety of forms, including claims that Trump would be inaugurated as president on March 4 and/or that the military would install Trump back into office and throw out Biden, whether on a specific day or some day in the future. QAnon supporters have also pointed to and are involved with a supposed election audit in Arizona that they believe will result in Trump returning to the White House. Lindell, Powell, Byrne, and Wood have all been involved with that audit, and Trump in turn is reportedly "fixated" on it.
This pipeline between QAnon supporters and far-right message boards, this group of figures who have advised Trump, and Trump himself partly fueled his voter fraud grievances that helped lead to the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol. And now it threatens to further ensnare Trump -- and in turn, much of the Republican Party and the voting public.
