December 30, 2022 OJ Jordan Bitcoin
2022 Was The Worst Crypto Winter By Far… Here's Why
As the year rolls out, I decided to recap the events that left a mark on all of us crypto users, investors, traders, developers and all-round cryptonians.
Overall, 2022 proved to be a really tough year for crypto. Possibly the worst bear market we've experienced to date. Let's recap the events that shaped the year and you can judge for yourself, whether this was indeed the worst. I will compare it to the 2014 bear market, which up to this moment, holds the title of the worst bear cycle in crypto history. Let's see how did we fair…
Bitcoin (BTC) began 2022 with a market valuation of around $42,400 and ends the year around $16,500 – a drop of approx. -65%
Ethereum (ETH) started the year with a price tag around $3700 and wraps up the year around $1200 – a drop of approx. -68%
Unlike previous bear markets, some altcoins, like TRX, LTC, Doge, XRP and BNB have outperformed the two giants of crypto and printed lesser drops in value.
It is worth noting that LTC, XRP and TRX did not perform too well throughout the bull run that preceded, so this has to be taken into account – the higher the pop, the bigger the drop. BNB is the obvious exception here, as it performed spectacularly well in the bull market and preserved its value the best out of the top 10, despite the recent backlash and fud surrounding Binance that is still ongoing.
Year Review Month-by-Month:
Riding the hopium of the bull run of the previous year, El Salvador President makes a bold prediction for Bitcoin to reach $100,000 in 2022.
Opensea, the biggest NFT marketplace raises $300 M in series C funding – later on, NFTs sales will drop significantly, but at the start of the year, they are still hot property.
SHIBA INU is the most accumulated token by Ethereum Whales for reasons beyond anyone's guess. The developers tease a big new release that never happened.
Bank Of America claims that Solana could become the "visa" of the crypto ecosystem, rivalling Ethereum. Later in the year, Solana will drop out of the top 10 ranking and prove to be nothing more than hype.
A 22-year old Indonesian boy makes a million dollars selling NFTs of his selfies on opensea.
Mozilla stops accepting crypto, the bear market chills begin.
Cardano outperforms other major competitors in volume, sees 11% increase in block size. Kraken positions it ahead of Ethereum.
Retail investors are still bullish, buying every dip. This will soon come back to bite them as crypto winter gets worse.
North Korea continues to steal crypto through various hacks in order to subsidize its nuclear weapon programme.
BlockFi settles with the SEC for $100 million over its high-yield lending product. This marks the beginning of the end for the crypto lender.
Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin in the run up to its major upgrade, everyone gets excited about the "Flippening" which, just like every other time before, fails to materialize.
The Superbow features uber-expensive ads by top crypto comapnies: Coinbase, FTX exchange and Crypto .com – mainstream media draws parallels to Pets. com and other dotcom epic fails.
RBI talks about banning crypto in an attempt to curb interest and push forward its own digital rupee.
Russia begins advances toward Ukraine, starts a full-blown invasion. Crypto market responds with a significant drop.
Russia is outed to be using crypto ransomware and money laundering along with China.
Crypto is being used for donations to Ukraine and by Russia to bypass sanctions.
Ebay rumoured to add crypto payments by March 10. It didn't happen.
Metamask is reported to be blocking IPs in Iran and Russia in compliance with US sanctions. Users are outraged.
EU considers banning BTC mining. This doesn't get the vote, but they implement KYC on all exchanges, including on money coming in from cold wallets.
Bored Apes Yacht Club launches Apecoin.
Canadian government stops protestors from cashing out their crypto.
Thailand bans crypto payments.
BOE starts warming up citizens for its CBDC and outlines framework for regulating crypto.
Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen angers the crypto community with a proposal to change the Bitcoin code to POS – joins Greenpeace campaign called "Change the Code, Not the Environment".
Ronin, the blockchain network that runs the popular nonfungible token (NFT) crypto game Axie Infinity, is hacked for $625 million – the first of a series of big crypto crashes of the year.
Elon Musk considers buying Twitter after acquiring a large stake but is rejected as a board member. He later backtracks from the deal, but is forced into it by the courts. As a result, Dogecoin makes another minor pump but is very short-lived.
Binance commits half a billion USD to Elon's twitter bid.
On May 7, over $2 billion worth of Terra's UST tokens is unstaked and hundreds of millions of dollars are quickly liquidated.
UST was an algorithmic stablecoin backed by Terra's token Luna and as it loses its peg to the dollar causes a collapse of Luna which drops by 98% in a day and investors lose big. For a moment it seems this will be the worst crypto crash of the year. Sadly, it's only the first and there's a lot more to come.
Warren Buffest makes another dig at Bitcoin, says he wouldn't pay even $25 for all the bitcoin in the world.
Cardano adds over 2000 new wallets daily in just one month, despite market volatility. Its network activity becomes second to Bitcoin.
Central African Republic Adopts bitcoin as legal tender.
The Merge (Ethereum's biggest upgrade) is scheduled for August.
Impatient investors are asking has Bitcoin found a bottom yet… they will later find out that a bear market takes well-over a year.
New York state passes a Bitcoin mining moratorium on the back of the heated media fud about excessive energy consumption. Bitcoin analysts point out that the network uses less than 1% of the world's energy.
New York appoints a new mayor who is an avid crypto proponent.
Solana suffers another network outage – proves to be unreliable and very much centralized.
Market sees a short term relief rally, Bitcoin breaks above $31k fuelling a wave of hopium for the end of the bear market. Unfortunately, this remains only a short term rally.
Paypal enables crypto withdrawals to external addresses in the US for the first time.
Cardano appears as the most held crypto in a bear market
Bitcoin crashes again, hits an 18-month low amidst high inflation and the biggest interest rates hike by the Federal Reserve in 28 years.
Litecoin adds a privacy feature, gets delisted from exchanges in South Korea.
Crypto Hedge Fund Three Arrows Capital suffers from the Terra Luna collapse and lines up for liquidation. Becomes the second big crypto collapse of this bear market.
Soon after, Celsius, one of the biggest CeFi lending services finds itself in a liquidity crisis, fails to resolve the issue and becomes the next in line to file for bankruptcy.
Crypto investors continue being hammered. On July 6, prominent cryptocurrency investment firm Voyager Digital files for bankruptcy after 3AC defaulted on a $650 million loan. It's a chain reaction going back to Terra Luna, but the worst is yet to come…
Following 3AC liquidation, Blockfi becomes insolvent but is bailed out by FTX.. for a short while.
Crypto winter temperatures drop to freezing levels, "Experts" start talking about $10,000 Bitcoin price tag.
Developer of opensource coin-mixer Tornado Cash is arrested in Holland upon charges of facilitating money laundering.
EOS undergoes a rebranding and gives investors new hope of revival.
Ethereum implements its biggest upgrade The Merge, becomes deflationary token, and moves to a POS mining mechanism.
Cardano implements Vasil hard fork successfully.
Colombia announces its own CBDC
Ethereum miners censor Tornado Cash transactions raising concerns of centralisation. To make things worse, it comes out that 42% of POS nodes are being controlled by just 2 addresses.
Bitcoin mining difficulty reaches ATH, profitability drops, some miners capitulate.
The UK FCA warns consumers about FTX exchange but nobody pays attention.
Opensea daily volume hits a 15-month low indicating that NFTs have lost their mass appeal.
By far the biggest collapse of the year – FTX exchange files for bankruptcy following a series of events, involving Binance sell-off of FTT token reserves and a very public spat on Twitter. CZ reveals shady operations of FTX key operators behind the scenes. The fifth and biggest crash of the year.
This affects several other crypto companies that have been acquired by FTX, mainly Blockfi, which goes into liquidation too. With assets and liabilities ranging from $1 billion to $10 billion, Blockfi had over 100k creditors. In addition they had a $275 M debt to FTX. The application shows that the largest client had a balance of $28 million – imagine keeping such a huge amount with a third party custodian.
Not your keys, not your crypto – remember this.
The saga of FTX is still the topic du jour. This creates a mass exodus from exchanges, customers fear for their funds and every big exchange, from Coinbase and Crypto.com, to Kucoin and Binance are all rumoured to be next in line to crash down.
Proof of reserves (POR) becomes a popular new concept, but the regulators are not satisfied. The door is wide open for new regulatory bills to come into effect soon. Investors are left with cold feet, appetite for crypto is at its lowest. Fear is still ruling the market sentiment, the year ends on a low note.
In comparison, the 2014 Bear Market, which is considered to be the worst to date, had one really bad month – February, when is was all doom and gloom – it all came crashing down in just one month that seemed like crypto will be obliterated.
First, Apple bans all crypto related apps on its platform, then Silk Road 2.0 gets hacked and more than 4000 BTC is stolen from there and to finish it off, Mt.Gox, the exchange where almost all of crypto trading was being conducted, falls apart, with more than 750,000 Bitcoin going missing – at the time, this amounts to about $400 M – I know, the amount is far greater today, but at the time, that's less than a billion dollars, while this year we lost well over 4 billion dollars from Three Arrows, Voyager Digital, Terra Luna, Celsius and FTX combined. The losses are greater and the users who suffered are greater in numbers too.
From where I'm standing, I could safely conclude that this year presented far more challenges and capitulation than 2014, and if you are still standing, if you survived the crypto massacre this year, you are deservingly a crypto OG in my opinion.
You just survived the worst.
You are now more experienced, more knowledgeable and better equipped for what is coming next.
At least, I can say that the worst is behind us. Yes, we can still see some more bumps on the road ahead, perhaps regulation will kick-in from next year and we might see more restrictions for crypto usage, perhaps another exchange will come crashing down, or hackers might target some of the bigger platforms, but if you've learnt your lesson from this year, you will not be keeping your coins on exchanges for longer than a couple of days, you will be using self-custodial wallets, avoid the lenders and third party miners or traders and all those "done-for-you" schemes, and you will rely on your own skills whether it be for trading or simply investing.
You will be able to re-enter the market on the low end. We are still bottoming out and there's plenty of time. 2023 will give us more buying opportunities, and you will be able to reap the rewards during the next bull run, which I expect to begin toward the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024.
I will of course, be with you along the way, I will keep posting valuable crypto content, from market analysis and price updates, to the latest news and charts that you need to pay attention to.
So here we are my friends, we finish off this year with a few bruises, some more than others, but if you've been following this channel for a while, you know I've been saying all along – Don't hold altcoins in a bear market, they get slammed hard. Most are already at 80-90% negative, some are 99% negative – if you're holding any crypto at all, during a bear market, I hope it is Bitcoin and maybe Ethereum, but anything else is a huge gamble and I hope it pays off. I exited at the start of the year and have been doing only short term trades all year round. I hope my price projections have helped and will continue to help you to be a better, more successful trader.
Happy new year and see you in 2023!

MORE INFO ABOUT Kings of Leon
The biggest mainstream southern rock band to come about in recent years is Kings of Leon. The group's unique performances of southern rock in an indie style has brought them success worldwide that has been widely imitated. Despite being around for years, they reached mainstream success with the release of their 2007 album, Because of the Times.
Kings of Leon was formed by brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared, along with their cousin Matthew. The three brothers led a nomadic childhood, as their father was a traveling Pentecostal preacher. They would often sleep in a church or the family Oldsmobile and were home-schooled by their mother. After their parents divorced in 1997, the boys were free to indulge in the rock-and-roll that they had been previously denied by their religious upbringing. Only six months later, Nathan and Caleb received a record deal from RCA on the stipulation that they would find more members to form a full band. Younger brother Jared was recruited, despite being only fourteen and not knowing how to play any instruments. The brothers then invited their cousin Matthew for a one-week visit and never let him return home to Mississippi. Nathan took up the drums, Caleb taught himself the guitar, Jared slowly adopted the bass, and Matthew became the guitarist as he was the only member that knew how to play an instrument. Kings of Leon took their name from the brothers' preacher father, who was named Ivan Leon Followill. The band's members then decided to use their middle names as their stage names to keep with the concept.
After a month spent in a basement, working on songs and smoking an ounce of pot, the group had written music for their debut Holy Roller Novocaine EP, which was released in 2003. Despite Jared still not having mastered the bass, the EP was a big success and garnered the group a sizable following. The EP bolstered the popularity of Kings of Leon's debut LP, Youth and Young Manhood, which was released in the UK later that year. While the album made only a little splash in the US, it became a huge success in the UK, reaching #3 in the charts, and in Australia where it went three times platinum. Kings of Leon furthered both their success and their southern rock sound with the release of their 2004 album, Aha Shake Heartbreak. The album once again performed excellently in the UK and Australia, as well as warmed American audiences to the up-and-comers. The album also allowed the Kings of Leon to tour with some of their musical idols, including opening concert dates for Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam.
Kings of Leon's sound became more developed and matured by the release of Because of the Times in 2006. For the album, Kings of Leon polished their rough, garage-rock sound to let their folky, southern sound shine through; a decision that would serve them well from that point on. The album received recognition from a wider audience, but a more mixed reception from critics due to the group's experimentalism. Critics were changing their tunes upon the release of Only by the Night in 2008. The band had fully evolved and the harmonious experiments from the previous album showed on Only by the Night. The album debuted at the top of the UK charts and #4 on the US charts, despite only slight recognition in the states before the album's release. The success was due in part to the popularity of the hit lead single, "Sex on Fire." The album contained other hugely successful singles, including "Use Somebody," "Revelry," and "Notion." Despite the popularity in the US and UK, the album exploded in Australia as it became the continent's best-selling record ever and went platinum nine times. Kings of Leon cleaned up at the Grammy Awards in 2010, as they won for Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for "Use Somebody."
The group returned to their earlier, heavier sound on their most recent album, Come Around Sundown. While the album has received mixed reviews, positive accolades have been given to Kings of Leon for once again experimenting and innovating with their style.

Several weeks ago, I wrote a postcard urging a stranger to vote for a candidate in California's 42nd District, Riverside County — a place I had never heard of. The next week, while my friends wrote postcards for a candidate in Tennessee and then one in Georgia, I spent my lunch reading, not postcarding. The donuts offered to everyone who wrote the requisite number of postcards, I decided, were not really worth it.
This isn't to say I think postcarding is a bad idea. Encouraging students to engage with politics and the midterm election makes for a more engaged citizenry. But the postcarding at Marlborough has not been about educating the students or the voters. Instead, it has been about promoting specific candidates that the students know very little about.
When I wrote that postcard on behalf of the Riverside County candidate, I had no idea who they were or what they stood for. All I knew was that they were a Democrat, and I was told that if I disliked Trump, I had better write a postcard. The prompt we were given told us to say the candidate stood for democracy and justice, or they would enact common sense gun control, or they were committed to education. Am I a supporter of those things? Yes. But these statements are all incredibly vague, and we do not have the right to ask someone to vote for a candidate the vast majority of us have not bothered to research.
If the point of postcarding is to get us, the student body, engaged in politics, the school is going about it wrong. Threatening us with the oh-so-horrifying label of "Trump Supporter" to make us support candidates, without offering us information on the candidates themselves, is not making us responsible voters; it is contributing to partisanship, and teaching us that all we need to know when we step into a voting booth is which candidate has a "D" next to their name. I consider myself liberal. More often than not, I will probably find myself voting for the Democrat. But we should vote on the issues, not on the party.
It would not be hard to just give us information on the candidates. Take Julia Peacock, the 42nd District Democrat. Give the students information on Peacock and her Republican opponent, Kevin Calvert, and let us make our own decisions on who we support. Perhaps the overwhelming consensus will be to support Peacock, but at that point the support will be based on substance. We have a powerful voice that should be utilized, but it should be a voice powered by research, not donuts.

Open Studio Productions
Long 'Arc of Justice' on display in doc about Georgia black farming collective
From the J Weekly by Natalie Orenstein, March 14, 2017
"Resilience," says San Francisco filmmaker Helen Cohen, "is a little bit of an overused word."
But it is a theme she can't seem to avoid these days — in daily life and politics, in Judaism and in her art.
The subjects of "Arc of Justice," the latest documentary from Cohen and her husband, Mark Lipman, embody resilience. The 22-minute film, playing March 25 in the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival, tells the tragic yet ultimately triumphant story of New Communities, a collective of black farmers in Georgia.
New Communities grew out of the civil rights movement. After a voter registration campaign in southwest Georgia led to mass evictions of black people from the land where they lived and worked, the civil rights organizers made it their mission to secure independent land and economic opportunity for African Americans in the area.
In 1969 New Communities formed the first community land trust (CLT), a nonprofit organization that acquires land and sells or leases out the properties on it at permanently affordable rates. The original New Communities members developed the model after taking a formative trip to Israel, where they toured kibbutzes and moshavs.
The group launched a collective farm near Albany, Georgia, but years of racist attacks, denial of credit and drought led to its eventual foreclosure in the 1980s.
Black loss of land is a familiar story and one that continues to play out today, including in the filmmakers' home city of San Francisco.
But what makes the New Communities story remarkable is that justice eventually prevailed. In 1997, the members were part of a class-action lawsuit brought by black farmers against the U.S. Department of Agriculture that alleged discrimination in the distribution of loans. Years later, they were shocked to hear they had won big, in what is considered the largest civil rights settlement in history.
Now, many of the original members once again run a thriving farm and education center in Georgia — on land that belonged to one of the largest slave owners in the state.
"We were just kind of blown away by the whole story," Cohen says.
"Arc of Justice" was initially conceived as a sort of educational video for groups looking to launch CLTs, which some believe could solve the affordable housing crisis. Cohen and Lipman, who make commissioned and feature-length independent films as Open Studio Productions, both have experience working in or documenting community development. The duo has produced other public interest films about CLTs and equitable development efforts.
But it quickly became clear that "Arc of Justice" would have much wider appeal. "What we've ended up with is this major civil rights story that spans 50 years," Lipman says.
Another film Cohen and Lipman made at Open Studio Productions was "Street of Dreams," about grassroots activists in communities of color who use a CLT to preserve affordable housing and avoid displacing longtime residents. Another one of their films is the award-winning "States of Grace," which told the story of a major transformation of a revered physician and her family in the wake of a life-changing accident.
Though their films are not Jewish, Cohen says that Judaism does indeed inform their work.
"Not in a superconscious, deliberate, spelled-out way," she says. "But I think in terms of the values of tikkun olam that have informed our lives and our work, and the world, absolutely. There's a way that a basic sense of values — more than spirituality, but the cultural issues and history, and the teachings of Judaism — that I think have informed our work as filmmakers, activists, people."
Viewers of "Arc of Justice" are treated to incredible archival footage of the Albany Movement and the farm, both in its early days and as the group faces foreclosure.
The filmmakers, with the help of CLT scholar John Emmeus Davis and New Communities member Mtamanika Youngblood, secured interviews with a dynamic cast of characters. The stars of the show are founding members Charles and Shirley Sherrod, who recount the emotional saga. Congressman and civil rights giant John Lewis, a former member of New Communities, also appears in the film.
"Arc of Justice" premiered last year at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival during a six-film program tabbed "Take Action Day: Repairing the World, One Film at a Time," which was an appropriate setting for a number of reasons. Jewish allies were active in the civil rights movement, and the New Communities members drew heavy inspiration from the Jewish National Fund practices they observed in Israel.
And there's that concept of resilience — of considering the long arc of justice and the human ability to keep going after tragedy.
"This," Cohen says, "is where I feel like the Jewish history and tribe really do inform us."
"Arc of Justice" screens with two other films at 5 p.m. March 25 in the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival at Rialto Cinemas, 6868 McKinley St., Sebastopol. $10-$12.

Q: Manage construction of javascript call when 2nd parameter is null? I have a javascript call in OnClientClick that looks like the following:
OnClientClick='<%# "return DisplayAlert(" + Eval("BedNum") + "," + Eval("ClientId") + ");" %>'

But when ClientId is null, the function call is constructed incorrectly with error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) since the function call produces return DisplayAlert(value, );
Is there a way to avoid this error when the 2nd parameter is null?
Thanks

A: If I understand correctly, all you would need to do is check its value, and for null have a default value of your choosing, or the original clientId in the case that it isn't null.
Something like this:
ClientId == null ? "whateverDefaultValueYouWant" : clientId

Q: Remove checkout notice from plugin Points & Rewards in WooCommerce I'm using the WooCommerce plugin "Points & Rewards" which displays two notices in my checkout.
I found the code of the notice generation in the plugin:
public function __construct() {
    ....
    // add earn points/redeem points message above cart / checkout
    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', array( $this, 'render_earn_points_message' ), 5 );
    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', array( $this, 'render_redeem_points_message' ), 6 );
    ....
}

I tried to remove the notice with the following codes:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', array( 'WC_Points_Rewards_Cart_Checkout->render_earn_points_message' ), 5 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', array( 'render_earn_points_message' ), 5 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', array( 'woocommerce_render_earn_points_message' ), 5 );

But they don't work. Is there an other way to remove them? Or a correct way to adress them?
If I want to remove the coupon notice in the checkout, this code works fine:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woocommerce_checkout_coupon_form', 10 );

A: You can use the following to remove "Points & Rewards" messages from checkout page:
add_filter( 'wc_points_rewards_earn_points_message', 'remove_rewards_earn_points_message', 20, 2 );
add_filter( 'wc_points_rewards_redeem_points_message', 'remove_rewards_earn_points_message', 20, 2 );
function remove_rewards_earn_points_message( $message, $data ) {
    if( is_checkout() )
        return '';
    return $message;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme).

Made Up were briefed to provide online retailer The Outnet with an activation for London Fashion Week during September 2016.
Our idea was to let the guests' own colours light up the room. We clad the walls and fitted a high gloss floor. Our tech team custom-wrote a code that sampled the colour of the guests' clothes, and gave them each their 'own' distinct pattern on an LED screen.
These displays were synchronised with the venue's own lighting displays. Each guest's moment was captured as an animated 'gif' and sent to their own phone. Naturally they were keen to share these on their social media platforms – achieving over 500,000 'earned' page impressions.


The 2019 edition of "American Idol" is down to its top 10, and an Upstate New York singer made the cut.
Madison VanDenburg, a 17-year-old high school student from Cohoes, N.Y., made it past the first round of fan voting after wowing the judges with a performance of "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys on Sunday. She ended up being one of the top 7 vote-getters on Monday's episode, where she celebrated her next step with a performance of "You and I" by Lady Gaga.
"Welcome to the top ten, @MadisonV we are so proud to have you," judge Luke Bryan tweeted.
Vandenburg joins fellow top 10 contestants Walker Burroughs, Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon, Wade Cota, Laci Kaye Booth, Laine Hardy, Alejandro Aranda, Uché, Dimitrius Graham and Alyssa Raghu. The latter three were selected by the judges to advance, meaning Evelyn Cormier, Riley Thompson, Eddie Island and Ashley Hess were eliminated.
VanDenburg, who auditioned in Buffalo last fall, uses the same vocal coach as another Upstate NY singer, Moriah Formica, who appeared on "The Voice" in 2017 and "Idol" in 2018. Both Vandenburg and Formica attended Shaker High School in Latham, less than 10 miles outside of Albany.

A brief history of Volkswagen: From the people's car to the emissions scandal
Ever wondered how Volkswagen went from the People's Car to one of the most well-known brands in the world? We take a look in our Volkswagen history...
A brief history of Volkswagen: From the people's car to the emissions scand...
Of the ten top selling car models in history, three are Volkswagen; the Beetle, the Golf and the Passat. Not one for fancy branding strategies, the current VW tagline is simply "Das Auto", which literally translates to "the car". They are Germany's biggest car company and the third largest automaker in the world.
From "the people's car" to the emissions scandal, it's safe to say VW have a history like no other.
OSV takes a look at the interesting history of Volkswagen.
When did Volkswagen start making cars?
In 1937 the Nazi trades union organisation, the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, set up Volkswagen with the aim to create a "people's car".
Very few owned cars in Germany around this period so VW was created to address the need for an affordable car for the common German citizen. Under Hitler's orders, the car should;
Carry two adults and three children at 100km/h
Be cheap, costing no more than a motorbike – this was 990 Reichsmark, and was available through a savings scheme to all citizens of the Third Reich.
The KdF-Wagen (or Kraft durch Freude, OR, strength through joy) had an air-cooled rear engine and a torsion bar suspension. It also had a "beetle" shape.
Interestingly, the car was mainly designed by Ferdinand Porsche and the designs went through vigorous testing before being declared as finished. In fact, the car did a record-breaking million miles worth of testing.
A factory was built in a new town called KdF-Stadt. Today it is known as Wolfsburg. This was a purpose built town for the factory workers. However, it had only produced a number of cars by the time the war broke out. In fact, none of the cars were actually delivered to those that had completed the savings scheme. Only one was ever delivered. The Type 1 Cabriolet was presented to Hitler on April 20th 1944, his 55th birthday.
What happened to VW during the Second World War?
When World War Two broke out in 1939 Volkswagen changed their production from cars to military vehicles. As a common practice with German factories at this time, more than 15,000 slave labourers from a nearby concentration camp worked in the factories.
In 1998 the survivors filed a lawsuit against the car manufacturer, and they set up a restitution fund in response.
In April 1945, the KdF-Stadt factory was heavily bombed, and the town captured by the Americans. It was then handed over to the British. The factory was placed under the control of civilian Military Governor Hirst. The factory is then used as a maintenance depot.
Technically, the factory was liable for destruction as part of the war reparations – as per the Potsdam Agreement. However, it was Hirst that saw a future in the factory, and convinced his commanders of the potential of the VW car.
In September 1945, the British Army placed an order for 20,000 vehicles to run post-war Germany.
Hirst offered up the factory to representatives from all over; Australian, American, British and French, yet no one would take it on. Hirst even offered the company to Henry Ford free of charge, but he rejected the offer.
Instead, Volkswagen was left to fend for itself, with Hirsts German assistant Heinrich Nordhoff as leader.
When did Volkswagen buy Audi?
VW became an important part of the regeneration of West Germany in the period after the Second World War.
Production increased rapidly, with the Beetle reaching one million sales by 1955. A different type of Beetle mania, the Type 1 was the best-selling car in automotive history by 1972. They then released four versions of the Type 3 and 4 models.
This success led it the purchase of Auto Union in 1964. The only remaining marque of Auto Union is Audi. They then purchased NSU in 1969.
The expertise from these companies allowed VW to make such technological advancements such as front-wheel drive and water-cooled engines. They merged Auto Union and NSU to create the luxury Audi brand we know today.
By the 70s the Beetle was old news, and the Type 3 and 4 weren't huge sellers. It was the Audi's influenced that proved to be VW's saving grace in this period. A new generation of VW's were born, in the shape of the Scirocco, Passat, Golf and Polo.
Who does VW own?
In 1982, Volkswagen signed a co-operation agreement with SEAT, the Spanish car manufacturer. But in 1986, it bought a majority share and in 1990, it owned it outright.
A year later Volkswagen signed an agreement with Skoda and slowly increased its equity share to 70% by 1995.
But they didn't stop there. VW essentially began collecting brands, acquiring Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini by the time we reached the end of the millennium.
Volkswagen vs. Porsche
As you may remember, the design of the first ever Volkswagen was accredited largely to Ferdinand Porsche. Porsche maintained a close relationship with VW in the years following. Fast forward to 2005 and Porsche increases its shares in Volkswagen from 5% to 20%.
After increasing its stake in the company to 30.9%, Porsche attempted to acquire Volkswage, but VW is much larger than Porsche and left the company on the edge of bankruptcy.
And so began the war between the two brands. An attempted merger in 2009 failed due to legal risk and finally in 2012, VW bought Porsche. This was a particular blow to Porsche's chairman, Wolfgang Porsche. Why? Because his older cousin, Ferdinand Piech, is Volkswagen's chairman. Ouch.
And so we would have come to the end of our history. VW would reign as the one of the biggest firms in the world, with cars sold in 153 countries across the globe. But that's not the case. Instead, we come to the great emissions scandal of 2015.
In September 2015, US officials uncovered software in some Volkswagen and Audi models that were designed to cheat emissions testing. These so called 'defeat devices' have been used to artificially alter results of the strict emissions testing in the United States. They designed it so the car would know it was being tested, and would switch the engine to a different mode, essentially lowering the emissions of the car. What this meant was that these VW engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is legally allowed in the US.
It was also uncovered that this was the case for many cars across the UK and Europe. VW admitted that the illegal software had been in some 11 million cars, and 8.5 million of those in Europe. The emissions scandal led to VW announcing their first quarterly loss in 15 years.
This sort of brings us to the present day. The emissions scandal is still making headlines – the most recent being that VW may have broken EU consumer laws. This summer they agreed to pay £11.8 billion to its customers and regulators as compensation for the scandal. However, they are still currently being sued by Australia and may face criminal charges in the US. Only time will tell what's going to happen to VW in the future.

Wskrzeszenie Łazarza – obraz holenderskiego malarza Alberta van Ouwatera

Tematyka
Obraz jest jedynym dziełem Ouwatera, którego atrybucja nie wzbudza większych wątpliwości. Malarz poruszył popularny w XV wieku wśród artystów motyw wskrzeszenia Łazarza opisany w Nowym Testamencie, w Ewangelii Jana:

Opis obrazu
Scena wskrzeszenia, jednego z cudów Jezusa, rozgrywa się we wnętrzu kościoła, co miało związek z tradycją pochówku osób ważnych: królów, biskupów czy dygnitarzy w kryptach kościelnych. Kompozycja obrazu podzielona jest na dwie części. Po lewej stronie znajduje się rodzina Łazarza Ouwater oraz Chrystus, po prawej stoi grupa Żydów ubrana w kolorowe kostiumy. Grupa osób cnotliwych przepełniona jest religijną powagą a na ich twarzy brak jakichkolwiek emocji. Przeciwieństwo stanowią Żydzi. Dwaj z nich spoglądają na Łazarza i jednocześnie zakrywają usta i nosy skrawkami szat przed trupim fetorem. Inny odwraca się plecami od grobu a jeszcze inny zagląda z ciekawością w rozsuniętą kryptę.

Pośrodku, na osi kompozycji, ukazany został Łazarz, wychodzący z krypty. Nad nim góruje Piotr Apostoł, którego można poznać po tonsurze oraz krótkiej brodzie. On, jako jedyny z grupy cnotliwych, wyraża swoje emocje łącząc niejako obie grupy. Piotr zachęca Żydów by uwierzyli w dokonany cud i w boskość Chrystusa.

Za rozgrywaną sceną, pośrodku znajdują się drzwi z zakratowanym oknem, zza którego zaglądają gapie. W tle widać arkady zwieńczone kapitelami. Jeden z nich po lewej stronie, ukazuje starotestamentową scenę ofiarowania Abrahama gdzie również najważniejszym przesłaniem jest zaufanie do Boga.

The celebrated collection of Stephen Junkunc, which comes to auction again on 10 September, is exemplary in numerous respects, but one of its most fascinating facets is the number of archaic warfare instruments, both ceremonial and functional. These include chariot ornaments, fittings and weapons, many of which are comparable to those found at important excavations. These splendidly decorated and impeccably crafted objects hint at the majesty and power of ruling kingdoms of ancient China.
Junkunc: Arts of Ancient China II
10 September 2019 | 2:00 PM EDT | New York
A Rare Archaic Bronze 'Bird' Ornament, Late Shang Dynasty. Estimate $5,000–7,000.
Bronze circular plaques of this type with a horizontal bar set to the reverse are called pao ('bubble') in Chinese. They could be used as ornaments to decorate horse bridles or to adorn the carriage of a chariot—usually along the handrails or the sides of the base.
View Lot View Auction
A Rare Pair of Gold and Silver-Inlaid Bronze Chariot Yoke Ornaments, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Warring States Period. Estimate $80,000–120,000.
Excavations have revealed that these intricately designed fittings are chariot ornaments once used to crown the curved ends of the yoke that was fitted around the horse's neck.
An Exceedingly Rare Set of Gold and Silver-Inlaid Bronze Fittings, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $100,000–150,000.
Holding ten chariot parasol bone ends, the sumptuous ornamentation of the present set of bronze fittings illustrates the importance given to the parasol in the Warring States period (475-221 BC), when the chariot assumed a less military and a more ceremonial role. Parasols were associated with chariots that belonged to high-ranking officials, nobles and royals. As symbols of authority, umbrella-shaded chariots conferred status to their owners, and were taken into their graves upon their death.
A Gold and Silver-Inlaid Bronze Chariot Fitting, Han Dynasty. Estimate $15,000–25,000.
Excavation discoveries have shown that cylindrical fittings of this type were used to connect the wood support of the parasol on a chariot.
A Rare Archaic Bronze Axle Cap and Linchpin, Early Western Zhou Dynasty. Estimate $10,000–15,000.
The fine casting of this linchpin, decorated as a tiger head, hints at the splendid decoration of the chariots of ancient China.
A Very Rare Archaic Bronze Linchpin, Western Zhou Dynasty. Estimate $15,000–20,000.
Rhinoceros were highly prized animals in ancient China, often gifted as tribute to kings and rulers. The rhinoceros-form decoration on this chariot linchpin suggest the cosmopolitan and worldly power of its owner and kingdom.
A Rare Silver-Inlaid Bronze 'Beast Head' Chariot Ornament, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $5,000–7,000.
Although it is unclear what the specific function of this ornament was, comparable excavation findings suggest that it was likely once used as a finial to cap a pole or stick.
An Exceptionally Rare and Important Archaic Turquoise-Inlaid Bronze Sword, Late Spring And Autumn - Early Warring States Period. Estimate $80,000–120,000.
The present sword is a very rare example among inscribed weapons produced during the Eastern Zhou dynasty. The pictorial style of inscription, niaochongzhuan ('bird-worm seal script') was a very popular form of calligraphy during the Eastern Zhou dynasty. Following the collapse of the Zhou dynasty, this extraordinary form of writing was gradually replaced by other styles of calligraphy, but has survived as an art form to this day.
An Exceedingly Rare Gold and Silver-Inlaid Fitting, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $30,000–50,000.
The identification of the function of the present lot is fundamentally challenging without access to its place of discovery and full knowledge of its mechanism. However, speculation based on archeological findings suggests that the present fitting may have be a component for the door lock on the carriage of a chariot.
An Exceptional and Rare Archaic Green Jade Ceremonial Blade (Ge), Shang Dynasty. Estimate $120,000–150,000.
The luminous quality of the stone and the high level of workmanship suggest that the present blade belonged to a powerful person who was in the position to command such an important piece.
A Rare Archaic Bronze Spearhead (Mao), Shang Dynasty. Estimate $8,000–12,000.
Although typical in form of Shang dynasty spearheads, the present lot is notable for having a cast cicada motif design on the socket, as most examples of this type are undecorated.
A Rare Gold and Silver-Inlaid Bronze Fitting, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $10,000–15,000.
Although the exact function of the present lot remains unknown, it can be compared to the end cap of crossbows from the Eastern Zhou to Han dynasty.
A Rare Gold and Silver-Inlaid Iron Finial, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $20,000–30,000.
This finial has an fan-shaped axe blade on one end. Highly ornamented axe heads of this type were likely made for ceremonial use as a finial crowning a long pole, together with a matching ferrule to cap the foot rather than as a functional weapon used in warfare.
A Rare Archaic Bronze Dagger and Scabbard, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Spring And Autumn Period. Estimate $40,000–60,000.
These belong to a small group of swords that were popular in the Northern regions of ancient China, recognizable by its characteristic intricate openwork handle adorned with turquoise inlay, now lost.
A Gold and Silver-Inlaid Bronze Ferrule, Warring States Period - Han Dynasty. Estimate $20,000–30,000.
Excavated ferrules of this type have been shown to have capped the foot of ceremonial poles or weapons, such as spears.

New Town Manager steps into challenges
By Benett Kessler on October 1, 2013 in Gov
Mammoth's Town Manager Dan Holler. Photo courtesy of www.union.com
In the Town of Mammoth Lakes, government moves on. When the Town Council meets Wednesday night, they will introduce their new Interim Town Manager Dan Holler, who comes to work for Mammoth after mostly undisclosed differences with his former City, Grass Valley.
Holler worked as Grass Valley City Administrator for more than five years, which was a time of extremely difficult financial problems. News reports in Grass Valley say that Holler resigned recently after an employee evaluation in closed session. City officials said they and Holler moved in different directions. Mr. Holler spoke with Sierra Wave Media and said only that it was a mutual choice and time to move on.
His comment echoes some Mammoth Town Council members remarks after the resignation of former Town Manager Marianna Marysheva-Martinez. While change seems to be going around, the issue of Mr. Holler's former employment did not impact the Mammoth Town Council's selection of him as Interim Manager.
Councilman Matthew Lehman said of all the candidates the Council interviewed, Mr. Holler "fits the bill." Lehman said the first step for the Interim Manager is to stabilize Town government and then find out what the community and Council want in a permanent Town Manager. He called that a priority after stabilization.
Councilwoman Jo Bacon said that Mr. Holler's previous employment was discussed during the interview. As a personnel matter, she said, she would not comment further. Bacon said Mr. Holler's agreement up for approval tonight is month-to-month. She said recruitment for a permanent Town Manager would begin soon. Bacon said, "Council will first look closely at what our needs are, how the community will be involved in the selection and how to run the recruitment."
Mr. Holler said he expects to meet with Council members and department heads to develop a plan. He said building a "solid team" is important. Holler acknowledged that most communities have gone through hard economic times. He has experience dealing with that. Holler said the Grass Valley budget was around $12 million when he arrived, and he was able to reduce it to just over $10 million. Again, an echo of Mammoth's recent experience. Holler will work full-time for $158,000 per year. He is living in the Town condo. His wife, Claudia, remains in Grass Valley where she works as a teacher's aide.
The Council's agenda says they will introduce Mr. Holler early in the meeting and then under Policy Matters actually appoint him.

A ten million dollar budget for a town of only twelve thousand isn't bad. Ridgecrest has about the same general fund budget with more than double the population of Grass Valley.
Benett Kessler October 2, 2013 at 12:33 pm #
Also, how about the Inyo County budget of $80 million for a population of a static 18,000.

Apples and oranges. Counties have a different tax base than cities and receive different transfer funds from state and Federal sources than cities do.
Ridgecrest largest employer pays no property taxes nor do they generate any other form of tax revenues for the city, leaving the city relatively under funded compared to other California cities between 25,000 and 30,000 people. It was surprising to me, however, to see a city of only 12,800 with a general fund as large as that of Ridgecrest.

Many devices are now pulling double-duty these days. Game consoles are entertainment streaming devices. Smartwatches tell you the time while also telling you which of your coworkers is demanding your attention. Lightbulbs are burglar deterrents, at least when they're not setting the mood. So Onelink's Safe and Sound, a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with an integrated speaker and voice assistant, isn't exactly a far-fetched concept. It is, however, indicative of a future where connected devices aren't just for nerds. You might not need a voice assistant, smartwatch, or a ceiling-mounted speaker, but everyone needs a smoke alarm. Whether you need a $US250 smoke alarm is another .
Editor's Note: we don't have Australian pricing as yet, but the release date is rumoured to be mid-year sometime.
Onelink's Safe and Sound is a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with an integrated speaker, Alexa voice assistant (a version supporting Google Assistant is coming soon), and HomeKit compatibility. It's definitely larger than your average smoke detector, and will stick out at least an extra two inches from your ceiling. That being said, you'll quickly forget it's there, noticing it only due to its convenient night light feature.
Since the Onelink is ceiling-mounted, it's out of the way and easy to ignore. It uses that placement to its advantage, delivering a pretty impressive bass compared to desk-bound voice assistants or speakers. There's nothing in the way to impede its audio quality either, making the Onelink reverberate from above like the voice of some synthetic deity. The Onelink doesn't get as obnoxiously loud as my Google Home, nor is it comparable to the audio quality you'd get from something like a HomePod, but it doesn't have to be as booming to effect the ambiance throughout my apartment. "It feels like I'm in a nice airport," said my partner after walking through the hallway while the Onelink played some funk music.
That placement also makes it easier for it to listen for voice assistant commands. The Onelink is in a hallway bisecting my apartment. Whether I was 9.14m away in the kitchen, as far as I can get from the Onelink, or in the bedroom (two feet from the Onelink) it was able to pick up my voice and respond to commands as quickly and seamlessly as an Amazon-made Echo device. Like an Echo device, the Onelink supports music streaming platforms Audible, Spotify, Pandora, and others, as well as Alexa skills you'll probably never use.
Don't worry about power outages or lost internet connections affecting its primary function as a smoke alarm. The photoelectric smoke alarm and electrochemical carbon monoxide detector components work as intended, and the Onelink lets out a piercing alarm paired with a too-pleasant voice declaring the source of the fire, which is basically the user-defined location of the Onelink itself. You'll also receive a notification on your smartphone letting you know your house is going up in flames. If your home is wired to support interconnected alarms, it will trigger them all, ensuring you get the hell out of bed and out the door.
The usefulness of a voice assistant and speaker jammed into a smoke alarm relies on its location, which is one of the few negative points of the Onelink Safe and Sound. You can only put it where you smoke alarms are. Unlike an Amazon Echo, that can sit on any counter, table, or ledge, the Onelink is a smoke alarm first, which means you'll need to follow the instructions on smoke alarm placement and maintenance before you can enjoy its voice assistant features (at least if you want to remain up to code).
Onelink's mere existence makes me feel, in all honestly, like throwing out the other voice assistants in my house and installing a few more smoke alarms. Granted, the Onelink's installation requirements are largely dependent on your home and its safety setup, and I'm not exactly gearing up to install extra hardwired smoke alarms in my rented apartment, but I'd put one in each room if I could (or at least one in every room I can nap in). It's out of the way, delivers clear and unobstructed audio, and adds a voice assistant to your home without it taking the form of a miniature obelisk. But $US250 is quite a lot of cash to drop on something like this, making one consider whether a $US15 smoke detector, a $US15 wall mount, and a $US100 mazon Echo is worth the savings compared to the convenience of the Onelink Safe and Sound.
It's expensive as hell, especially when you can get a voice assistant for under $US100 and a smoke detector for $US10.

Q: Autocomplete off on Angular Directive for Date Picker I have a directive for JQuery Date picker which injects date picker into input HTML control. This was developed by a previous developer and I am pretty new to Angular at this moment.
My question is that is there any way to prevent showing auto complete on all the date pickers that we inject via this directive?
export class DanialDatePickerDirective implements ControlValueAccessor {

    constructor(protected el: ElementRef, private renderer: Renderer) { }

    @Input() dateformat: string = "DD-MMM-YY";
    @Input() ngModel: any;
    @Input() setDefaultDate: boolean;
    onModelChange: Function = () => { };
    onModelTouched: Function = () => { };

    writeValue(value: any) {
        if (value) {
            var ff = new Date(value);
            $(this.el.nativeElement).datepicker("setDate", ff);
        }
        else {
            $(this.el.nativeElement).datepicker("setDate", "");
        }
    }

    registerOnChange(fn: Function): void {
        this.onModelChange = fn;
    }

    registerOnTouched(fn: Function): void {
        this.onModelTouched = fn;
    }

    onBlur() {
        this.onModelTouched();
    }

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        var self = this;
        $(this.el.nativeElement).datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd-M-y',
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            showOtherMonths: true,
            selectOtherMonths: true
        });

        if (this.setDefaultDate) {
            var ff = new Date(self.ngModel);
            setTimeout(function () {
                $(self.el.nativeElement).datepicker("setDate", ff);
            }, 200);
        }

        $(this.el.nativeElement).on('change', (e: any) => {
            var model = e.target.value;
            var date = null;
            var monthstring = '';
            if (model.indexOf("-") > 0){
                monthstring = model.substring(model.indexOf("-") + 1, 5);
            }

            if (isNaN(parseInt(monthstring))) {
                var tt = moment(model, "DD-MMM-YY").format('YYYY-MM-DD');
                date = tt;
                model = moment(model, "DD-MMM-YYYY").format('MM-DD-YYYY')
            }
            else {

                date = moment(model, "DD-MM-YYYY").format('YYYY-MM-DD');
                model = moment(model, "DD-MM-YYYY").format('MM-DD-YYYY')
            }

            $(".ui-datepicker a").removeAttr("href");
            self.onModelChange(date);

             self.writeValue(date.toString());
        });
    }

}

A: The only approach who works for me:
First, make sure to set autocomplete="off" on both, the input element itself and the parent form.
Second, make sure to assign an unique name to your input field always.
This can be achieved by simply generating a random number and using this number in the name of the field.
  private getUniqueName() {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * Date.now());
  }

Explanation:

In the past, many developers would add autocomplete="off" to their
  form fields to prevent the browser from performing any kind of
  autocomplete functionality. While Chrome will still respect this tag
  for autocomplete data, it will not respect it for autofill data.
  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/06/checkout-faster-with-autofill.

So autocomplete="off" solves the autocomplete issue. But to solve the autofill you need to play dirty with the browser by changing the name of the input over an over again, that way the browser will never know how to autofill ;)

HS Sweethearts Keep Marriage Pact Decades After They Met
If there's one lesson that almost everyone learns, it's that the romances we have when we're kids will almost invariably fall apart as we grow up. With 2 people going through so many changes in their lives, it's no wonder that they tend to grow apart.
The irony is that for many of us, the romances of our youth are some that we remember the most fondly and with the most regret. We sometimes look back and think 'that was the one that got away.' Usually, it's just because we're seeing through the rose-colored glasses of memory but, as one couple would find out, there was something to that thought…
www.minnpost.com
Back when they were in school in St. Paul, Minnesota, Kimberly and Ron caught each others' attention in a special way. Though she was in 8th grade and he was a high school junior, they became very close friends "I would watch him come down the stairs when the high school kids were changing classes and we would wave at each other," Kim said.
A Couple Of Goofballs
www.people.com
"We ended up taking a picture together and, by fall of the following school year, when I was a freshman and he was a senior, we were dating," she said. The couple of self-described "goofballs" got along incredibly well but, like most high school romance, it wasn't destined to last…
uclafacultyassociation.blogspot.com
Once the school year ended, they came to a crossroads. Ron was graduating and didn't want to be "that guy," an older teenager still dating a kid in high school. "I wanted to go sow my oats, so to speak," Ron said, "so we went our separate ways." Unlike most break ups, they split on good turns and remained friends.
The Norm
It's not that Ron wasn't happy with his relationship with Kim. He simply didn't realize how special it was. "I thought women were all over the place and I couldn't get along with any of them. I thought that was the norm." But he would quickly come to understand the truth behind those famous lyrics "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."…
Never As Good
www.videoblocks.com
Over the next few years, as Kim finished up high school, Ron dated a few different women. Unfortunately, he never got along as well with any of those women as he had with his high school sweetheart. He had thoughts about getting back together with her but the timing was always wrong.
www.rd.com
Every time one of them was single, the other was in a relationship. Then, a few years after she had graduated high school, one of Kim's boyfriends proposed and she said yes. "When she got married, I thought, 'Ah, she's gone,'" Ron said…
www.professionalgrantwriter.org
A couple of years after that, he got married as well. Sadly, his marriage wasn't all that great and he and his wife divorced after 7 years together. At the same time, Kim had 2 children with her husband. Despite their lives seemingly traveling down 2 separate tracks, Ron Palmer and Kimberly Dean always stayed in touch with each other.
Super Friendship
www.kxro.com
"I don't think 6 months ever went by in all this time that we weren't in contact," Ron said. "I'd either get a letter or a phone call every once in awhile. When I was dating other girls and having issues, I would call her and she would help me through those times. It was a super good friendship, and it went back and forth like that for a time."
Mutual Go-To
minnesota.cbslocal.com
After Kim went through a divorce of her own in 1998, Ron became her go-to person when she needed help as well, like the time she called him to "take a dead hamster out of my son's cage because I didn't want to touch it."
Throwaway Joke
One day, during one of their many phone calls, Ron, who hadn't had any kids "was talking about all his benefits through work and not having anyone to give them to," Kim said. She threw out a joke, saying by the time she turned 50, "If I'm not married and you're not married, we're just going to marry each other."…
It's A Deal
www.tranceholidays.com
"Done!" was Ron's reply, neither of them thinking anything would come of it. But as the years went by, their friendship only grew stronger. Ron even stepped in to be somewhat of a father figure to her kids, watching them when she needed a hand, sometimes even taking them camping.
A Lightbulb
www.sciencing.com
Then in 2016, it was like something clicked in their friendship. After they went to Taste of Rosefest, a food and wine festival in Roseville, they started seeing each other more frequently. Then, during a trip together to Ron's hunting cabin, "It was like a lightbulb went off," Kim said. "And I told him, 'Do you remember this stupid pact we made?'"…
kegl.iheart.com
At first, Ron was apprehensive about trying to rekindle their romance. "He told me later he worried that, if a relationship didn't work, we would lose one of the very best friends we ever had," Kim said. "That was a big risk," Ron said.
www.whas11.com
"But I could see we still had feelings for each other," Ron said. He agreed to give a romantic relationship with Kim one more try. "And it's been fantastic ever since." A little over a year after Kim had proposed they try dating again, Ron had a proposition of his own…
Frozen Proposal
www.thisisinsider.com
On New Year's Eve of 2017, Ron took Kim to Gooseberry Falls state park to spend a day in beautifully frozen nature. Kim took a couple steps out into the below-zero temperatures then immediately turned to get back in the warmth of the car. When she did, she saw Ron down on one knee with a little ring box in hand. She said yes.
Little Late
Six months later, they were having a June wedding that was 37 years in the making. With Kim being 51 and Ron being 54, they had only missed the deadline of their pact by a little bit. Kim was walked down the aisle by her son Konner, and her daughter Kayla was the maid of honor…
Fitting Song
www.startribune.com
Their dance during the reception was to the song "Keep on Loving You," by REO speedwagon. It was a truly fitting song, considering the lyrics "When I said that I loved you, I meant that I loved you forever."
An Awesome Friend
www.dailygazette.com
"I think we both knew, even in high school, that we were supposed to be together," Said Kim. Ron agreed, saying "I truly did love her back when we were kids. I've always loved her. She's such an awesome friend."…
No Better Match
Their ending up together didn't come as a surprise to everyone. "It felt like it was supposed to happen like it was meant to be. I would say there's no better match in the world for either of them," said Kim's daughter Kayla. "People who are meant to be together will always find each other. It may take 37 years but it can happen," she added.
Later In Life
www.ilmattino.it
"The only thing that sucks is that we're in our 50s. How much time do we have left?" Kim said. "We had to go through all those relationships — the good, the bad, the ugly, the complete heartbreak — to get where we are right now. We've even talked about, if we had gotten married all those years ago when we were younger, would we still be together?" They'll have the rest of their lives together to think that over, if they like.

Welcome to the PFS Family Association!
At PFS the grown-ups in our students' lives are vital members of the PFS community. As a small school we benefit tremendously from a dynamic community of adults who learn from one another, donate their imagination, energy, time, and expertise to support the students, faculty, and staff. Throughout the history of PFS, Parental and Other Supportive Adult involvement have been key to the building and continued success of the school.
Each Family is a member of the Family Association – we are here for you!. There are many ways to get involved and contribute at a level that fits your schedule and interests from joining in a dialogue-based group to volunteering at one-off events to leading a committee. Volunteering is a great way to meet other grown-ups, to help shape our school environment, and to enjoy being part of this community. We guarantee a good time, peer support, and a few laughs!
For more information, please email us at FA@princetonfriends.org.
Parent Association Sponsored Events
GET INVOLVED! WHILE PFS FAMILY ASSOCIATION ORGANIZES AND RUNS EVENTS, WE ALSO EXIST FOR COMMUNITY - COME JOIN US!
Wednesdays are times for Grown-Ups – each Wednesday adults from our students' families join together on zoom at 8:15 a.m. (call in or join on a computer). Our formal Family Association Meeting which discusses plans and creates opportunities for all community involvement is held on the second Wednesday of every month. The other Wednesdays our Parenting Group Meets.
Parenting Group: The Parenting Group meets every Wednesday (with the exception of the 2nd Wednesday when the Family Association meets), the group is designed to provide an opportunity to discuss the woes and grows of the art of parenting. It is designed for any grown-up who plays this role in our students' lives. The content of each session is driven by those in attendance – need some advice? Want to discuss an issue from in or out of school? Need to laugh with others? Want someone's (virtual) shoulder to cry on? Come join us on zoom at 8:15 a.m.
WATCHING, LISTENING, READING Series
The Parenting Group announces a weekly Watching, Listening, Reading series to share what's been on our minds. All ideas are welcome (see below for more on how to share)! This series, which came out of our weekly parent group, offers three online items we are encouraging the community to check out, the aim of which is to support the sharing of ideas that either relate to what our young people are learning in school and doing in their classes or are on our minds as citizens, parents, thinkers, and doers!
The Family Association also Leads Family Driven Efforts around:
Start of School Celebrations: We collaborate with the administration and faculty to provide opportunities for gathering, and community development as the school year opens.
Faculty & Staff Appreciation: In addition to sponsoring two meals and giving holiday gifts, the FA coordinates monthly potluck brunches for the faculty and staff on the first Wednesday of the month, and provides innovative ways to show our appreciation throughout the year.
Fundraising: Each year the Family Association Commits to raising $20,000 that can be used by the school to augment their practice as usual. We do this through a series of on-going fundraisers including
Frolics are a long-standing tradition at PFS and involve social gatherings and activities for PFS families outside usual school hours. Past examples include a Singing of Holiday Carols Frolic in downtown Princeton, An Evening with Music & Wine at someone's home or A Let's Go Fishing Frolic held at a local lake. We are eager for new ideas and opportunities to learn from and enjoy each other!
Spring Fling! We've shifted our attention from the Spring Fling fundraiser last year to directly raising funds for the emergent needs the PFS community faces. Your support will assist PFS' teachers, its families, and the school overcome the myriad challenges posed by COVID-19. Visit the Spring Fling website here.

Welcome to the G.O.T.H. Series!
Each Wednesday, I share posts, fables, songs, poems, quotations, TEDx Talks, cartoons, and books that have inspired and motivated me on my writing journey. I hope these posts will give writers, artists, and other creatives a mid-week boost.
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Rising Strong by Dr. Brené Brown, I find myself rereading several passages, including the poem by Nayyirah Waheed that inspired the book's title.
My favorite lines…We are the authors of our lives/We write our own daring endings.
