Q: Trigger an email when a cell is written into from another app (IFTTT) So here's what I've been working on.  I'm a basketball coach and have a spreadsheet that pulls in all of my players' tweets from IFTTT.com (it basically takes the RSS feed of a twitter list and when it is updated, it updates the spreadsheet).
I have been working on coding that basically says "if a player tweets an inappropriate word, email me immediately."
I've got the code figured out that if I just type in an inappropriate word, it'll turn the cell red and email me.  However, I have not figured out how to get the code to email me after IFTTT automatically updates the spreadsheet with tweets.
Here is my code thus far.  Right now I've just got one "trigger" word that is "players" just to try and get the spreadsheet to work.  Here's the code:
function onEdit(e) {
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();//Get the spreadsheet
    var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet()//Get the active sheet
    var cell = ss.getActiveCell().activate();//Get the active cell.
    var badCell = cell.getA1Notation();//Get the cells A1 notation.
    var badCellContent = cell.getValue();//Get the value of that cell.

    if (badCellContent.match("players")){
        cell.setBackgroundColor("red")
        MailApp.sendEmail("antadrag@gmail.com", "Notice of possible inappropriate tweet", "This tweet       says: " + badCellContent + ".");
    }
}

Here is a link to the spreadsheet I'm working with right now: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g5XaIycy69a3T2YcWhcbBy0hYrxSfoEEz8c4-zP63O8/edit#gid=0
Any help or guidance on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A: I originally wrote this answer for your previous question, so it includes answers to some of your comments from there, but since you're continuing to go asking the community to write this step-by-step , here's the next step.

The issue I'm running into is that if three tweets come into the spreadsheet at the same time, with my code, it's only going to update the most recent cell, not all three. Does that make sense?

Yes, it does make sense.
When an onEdit() trigger function calls Spreadsheet Service functions to get current info from the sheet, it enters a "Race condition". If any changes occur in the sheet after the change that triggered onEdit(), and the time when it gets scheduled, those changes will be visible when it runs. That's what you see when you assume that the change you're processing is in the last row - by the time you're processing it, there may be a new last row.
Good news, though - the attributes of the event object passed to onEdit contain the details of the change. (The parameter e.) See Event objects.
By using e.range and e.value you'll find you have the location and content of the edited cell that kicked the trigger. If additional tweets arrive before the trigger is serviced, your function won't be tricked into processing the last row.
In new sheets, the onEdit() can get triggered for multiple-cell changes, such as cut & paste. However unlikely that it may happen, it's worth covering.

Well, after getting the spreadsheet all setup & actually using the trigger from IFTTT, it doesn't work. :( I'm assuming it's not dubbing it as the active cell whenever it automatically pulls it into the spreadsheet. Any idea on a workaround on that?

Q: When is an edit not an edit? A: When it's made by a script. In that case, it's a change. You can add an installable on Change function to catch those events. Unfortunately, the change event is less verbose than an edit event, so you are forced to read the spreadsheet to figure out what has changed. My habit is to have the change handler simulate an edit by constructing a fake event (just as we'd do for testing), and passing it to the onEdit function.
So give this a try. This script:

*

*handles a list of "bad words". (Could just as easily be monitoring for mentions of your product or cause.)

*has an onEdit() function that uses the event object to evaluate the row(s) that triggered the function call.

*colors "bad" tweets

*has a function for testing the onEdit() trigger, based on How can I test a trigger function in GAS?

*includes playCatchUp(e), an installable trigger function (change and/or time-based) that will evaluate any rows that have not been evaluated before. Script property "Last Processed Row" is used to track that row value. (If you plan to remove rows, you'll need to adjust the property.)

*Has the sendMail function commented out.
Enjoy!

There's a reason why most teams open and close practice with shooting free throws — often 50 or more per player. Incomprehensibly, there are still dudes who don't understand how to shoot free throws. Granted, it's not always entirely their fault. The blame sometimes rests with the coaches who allowed them to dominate with nothing more than raw talent when they were kids, not ever giving consideration to their overall game at the next level.
Anyone — I'll repeat, anyone — can learn to be a consistently capable free throw shooter. Anyone. I've seen it, and experienced it. No, not everyone will stroke from the charity strip like Steve Nash, but 60 percent is achievable for anyone, given enough practice.
Sure, this free throw attempt was probably a fluke, a random slip-up. It looks like the ball starts to roll off his fingers just as the camera cuts to the attempt, and the ball just sails upward, coming nowhere near the net. This NCAA D-I basketball player can probably get the ball down the 15 foot lane toward the bucket consistently…but maybe not. His shooting form is atrocious. The ball is out to the side of his face. It's not Shawn Marion ugly, but it's still pretty ugly. Nobody could fix that issue in all the years this kid has played basketball?
In all fairness to Okam (because we're all about fairness at Manolith), he did sink the first free throw.

Eurovision Song Contest 2017 Semi-Final Allocation
Hooray! There's finally some structure to this year's Eurovision Song Contest, as the 43 competing countries have received their semi-final assignments. Kyiv, Ukraine was buzzing Tuesday morning as the Eurovision Song Contest held the 2017 semi-final allocation draw. In this process, the 37 countries competing in the two semi-finals were placed in pre-determined bowls based on previous voting history, then randomly assigned either the first or second half of one of the semis. Make that 36 countries: Switzerland requested and received placement in the second semi-final. Also, the Big 5 countries–France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom–along with host country Ukraine learned which semi-final in which each country will vote.

DOJ Lawyer Receives Death Threats After Appearing In Viral 'Toothbrush' Video
About Jack Crowe
Follow Jack Crowe on Twitter
A group of Central American migrants is questioned about their childrens' health after surrendering to U.S. Border Patrol Agents south of the U.S.-Mexico border fence in El Paso, Texas, March 6, 2019.	 (Lucy Nicholson/Reuters)
The Department of Justice official pictured in a viral video clip debating what specifically constitutes "sanitary conditions" under a court decision governing the detention of minors has received "several" death threats since the clip's contents were reported by a number of news outlets last week, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told National Review on Monday.
An edited version of Sarah Fabian's Tuesday testimony before a panel of Ninth Circuit judges was published on Twitter by NowThis News on Friday under the headline: "A Trump official tried to argue that detained children don't need soap, toothbrushes, or beds to be 'safe and sanitary' while in Border Patrol custody."
A number of media outlets, including the The Hill and the Huffington Post, then highlighted the videos as evidence of the Trump administration's willful mistreatment of migrants.

— NowThis (@nowthisnews) June 22, 2019
Fabian did not argue that children held in federal custody should not be given basic toiletries — as the viral headlines suggest — but rather suggested that the Flores Settlement agreement, a 1997 court ruling which governs the conditions under which minors can be held in federal custody, does not explicitly require the provision of those specific items.
Furthermore, Fabian's testimony was related to a challenge of a 2017 ruling that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, under President Obama, violated Flores by failing to provide children with basic sanitary products. The judge presiding over that case found that those items should be provided under Flores and recommended the appointment of a special monitor to ensure CBP provided the items going forward.
The treatment of migrants at CBP holding facilities has received greater scrutiny in recent weeks amid reports that CBP and the Department of Health and Human Services, which assumes custody of the migrants after they are processed by CBP, are unequipped to safely house and provide medical care for the overwhelming number of asylum-seekers arriving at the border each day.
Administration officials have asked Congress for additional funding to address what they claim has become a crisis at the southern border. They have also pleaded for legislative reforms that would grant CBP agents greater latitude to immediately deny entry to asylum seekers if their claims are clearly illegitimate. Under current law, CBP agents must admit virtually all asylum seekers pending an immigration hearing, which as many as 90 percent of them fail to appear for.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced last week that the Senate will vote in the coming days on a $4.5 billion aid package designed to address the government's inability to adequately shelter the more than 100,000 asylum-seekers that have begun arriving at the southern border each month.

Our stories were written for God restore them.
I was thinking about this today as I commented to my husband that he needs a haircut.
It took months after his last chemotherapy treatment, and then radiation, for his hair to thicken and take on a healthy sheen again. It took months for it to grow to the point where it needed regular cutting again.
As I look at his head now I see there is life in follicles that seemed dead for good. His body is embracing life. Every cell is choosing to live.
I saw restoration in the bible today.
I was paging through the journal I kept when Xylon was first diagnosed with cancer.
My thoughts just before reading this had been on friends of mine, two sisters, whose mother lies in hospital with cancer that is most likely in the end stages.
I'd been wondering what I could say to them that would help them get through some of the darkest days of their life.
And then I read this promise from the first few days of Xylon's diagnosis and I was reminded that God restores.
I still push against the start of this verse, where it says, "I will bring this huge catastrophe on this people but…" For me it doesn't make any sense that God could have any part of cancer (or any other life taking disease) but I also realise that I'm very small, and God is very big, and maybe I just don't get a lot of stuff about who he is.
I don't understand how God can restore many situations yet I've seen him bring my husbands hair back from the dead. I know that sounds like a crazy analogy but it's real to me. It's something I can feel and see and understand when so much of God's work is a mystery.
This promises reminds me that I can make it through the dark times because I can hold onto the hope that at the end of it all God will take our tears and give us laughter, he will take our grief and turn it into wild dancing and weave flowers into our hair.
And if today all you feel like doing is crying your eyes out - that's okay. Or if like me you feel like yelling at God and questioning his ways, that's okay too.
One thing I've learnt is that it won't last forever, that the dark days will give way to days of laughter, days where you will see hair grow where there was none, and gratitude pour from your mouth because of the God who has brought you through.
Ponder: Where have you seen a practical example something that you can see, touch and feel (like Xylon's hair growing back) of God's restoration in your life?
Prayer: Lord, I'm waiting for your restoration. Come quickly and breathe life into my broken places. Amen.

Digital whammy bar adds epic dives and shimmers to almost any guitar
Back in 2016, Australian startup Fomofx launched a digital whammy bar called the Virtual Jeff that could be mounted to just about any guitar, without having to modify the host instrument. Now the novel vibrato arm has gone Pro.
As before, the Pro doesn't involve breaking out the power tools to permanently modify the body, doesn't alter the string tension in any way (so no tuning nightmares), and it's made up of two main components.
Most players will likely choose to mount the vibrato arm part of the setup behind the bridge or tailpiece for familiarity, but it could be placed anywhere that doesn't interfere with existing controls and hardware. The Virtual Jeff comes with a mounting block that's attached to the guitar using supplied adhesive tape and is reckoned to take just 10 seconds to install, then the whammy just slides on.
The vibrato arm module then needs to be connected to a companion control box – though the company recommends a cabled connection between the Virtual Jeff Pro mounted on the host guitar and the control stomp on the floor, a 2.4-GHz mini-link transmitter is supplied. The host guitar's output jack also needs to be cabled up to the instrument input on the control box (though wireless systems like Line 6's Relay G10 are also supported).
The digital vibrato arm (left) is mounted to a host guitar, while the control box (right) is where the signal processing magic happens
Fomofx
The player can set exactly how far up or down the pitch travels during a sweep, and can set up and switch between two different whammy presets. A new virtual capo mode is included for instant up-shifts but also drop tuning, and pickers can blend the original guitar sound with a pitched sound for "glorious chorus, metal sub-octaves, parallel harmonies and much more." A hold feature freezes the pitch during a bend to free up the picking hand.
There are three footswitches atop the control box. The first is used to turn the system on or off, and two bypass modes are included. True bypass means that the system will not influence the guitar's output in any way, but the Pro also offers a studio-quality analog buffer for silent switching and to maintain a consistent tone. The middle footswitch hops between A and B presets, and the third is used to engage the virtual capo. It looks like you will need to invest in a separate A/B switch for the blend/hold feature though.
The Virtual Jeff Pro looks to be a sizable upgrade on the original, with the developers promising tonal transparency, ultra-low latency and "flawless tracking." And while there are floor stomps that can offer basic similar functionality – such as the DigiTech Whammy – as you can see in the video below, using the Pro appears natural, intuitive and a whole lot of fun. It's now available for sale at US$499.

Five Characters In Search Of An Exit
After The Sixth Sense (1999), writer/director M. Night Shyamalan was instantly hailed as a potential heir to Rod Serling, a humanistic weaver of weird tales capped with flabbergasting twists. Eleven years later, there's good news and bad news on the Shyamalan front. He remains a brand name - so much so that a new series of films has just been launched under the umbrella title of The Night Chronicles, starting with the new Twilight Zone-ish thriller Devil. The bad news is that as a brand, Shyamalan is perceived to be circling the drain. It would be mean to call him a joke but, whether it's deserved or not, that seems to be the overriding consensus these days. No mention of Devil's trailer was allowed to pass in the media without the writer noting how audiences reacted with laughter at the appearance of Shyamalan's name. Unsatisfied with his recent work (and by "recent," I mean almost since The Sixth Sense), the culture has collectively decided that Shyamalan is a one-trick pony whose day is done.
Personally, I find that to be harsh. Mind you, I haven't seen The Happening (2008) so I'm little behind on what he's been up to but based on his other films, I like that he's a thoughtful filmmaker in a genre where most like to play it dumb. The expression of Shyamalan's ideas may not always be 100% successful but I appreciate that he's trying. I'll take even a slightly failed bid to take the genre audience to an elevated place over the knee-jerk nihilism of someone like Rob Zombie any day. Based on interviews I've read, it seems like Shyamalan himself is mystified by the hit his reputation has taken and to his credit, he hasn't changed his style or approach at all to accommodate his critics. He's telling stories the same way he's been telling them from the start and if it's not to the taste of the public anymore, there's not much he can do to change it. In this regard, Shyamalan has joined the company of almost every genre filmmaker - from John Carpenter to George Romero - who find themselves laboring under the scrutiny of fans and critics who constantly compare their new work unfavorably to the initial work that made their name.
With The Night Chronicles, Shyamalan is originating the concepts but assigning the actual scripting and directing duties to others while he stays on as a producer. On Devil, the duo of brothers John Erick Dowdle (director) and Drew Dowdle (producer) - best known for 2008's shaky-cam shocker Quarantine - and screenwriter Brian Nelson were responsible for bringing this tale of an elevator ride of the damned to the screen. The results are not spectacular but Devil's modest charm bodes well for the future of The Night Chronicles as a series that could bring some of the shine back to Shyamalan's name.
Set in a mysteriously stalled elevator, Devil puts five random people together and - as building security, maintenance crews, police and firefighters work to extract them - it becomes clear that this is not just a routine crisis. The Prince of Darkness himself is aboard this elevator and no earthly force is going to interfere with his nefarious business. The mystery for the audience is in guessing which one of these apparently ordinary people is really the devil in disguise.
Is it Ben (Bokeem Woodbine), the hotheaded security guard? Is it Jane Cowski (Jenny O'Hara), an old woman with a penchant for lifting wallets? Is it Vince (Geoffrey Arend), a mattress salesman and first-class dick? Is it Tony (Logan Marshall-Green), a war vet who served time in Afganistan? Or is it Sarah (Bojana Novakovic), a scheming gold-digger? All is revealed by end of Devil's brief 80 minute running time.
The guessing game that Devil invites its audience to participate in is a fun one and its brisk storytelling ensures that Devil doesn't slog its way to its finale. It might be a simplistic morality tale but the Dowdle's ability to keep Devil tight and to the point makes it feel like they knew exactly how long to keep an audience waiting for the pay-off. If it were any longer, Devil would've been likely to instigate a "is that it?" reaction. As is, it's an example of efficient storytelling and that kind of clear-eyed application of craft is always welcome.
Besides the inevitable twist, Shyamalan's influence can be seen in the spiritual aspect of Devil. Its plot calls back to Signs (2002) in that every seemingly random incident in the character's lives is shown to be guided by greater forces. This argument for the need for religious belief comes across as heavy-handed (and sometimes unintentionally comic) and it's not helped any by voice-over narration that hammers the movie's themes home, just in case anyone might not be paying attention. Devil could've done without Shyamalan's need to sermonize and I have to imagine that the more strident aspects of Devil were a direct result of Shyamalan's input. It's a shame that Shyamalan doesn't trust his audience to intuit the underlying messages of his films on their own as Devil would've benefited from a lighter touch.
Still, Devil at least shows that others can effectively adapt Shyamalan's ideas - maybe more adeptly than Shyamalan himself. Maybe the example of Dowdle's fleet-footed finesse will bring out the best in Shyamalan again the next time he gets behind the camera.

I can't wait to see this and plan on doing so this weekend.
I think you are spot on regarding your thoughts on Shyamalan's career and perception. Although I thought the Happenening and Lady in the Water were both low points (both boring and very heavy handed) I can appreciate that he was continuing to do something different. Maybe the narration and the need to explain everything in Devil is Shyamalan's reaction to critics or film goers who have a hard time figuring out his messages? Regardless, it frustrates me when filmmakers nowadays feel the need to resort to explaining each and every detail.
Great review.
Thanks Cortez - hope you end up enjoying Devil, too! It's a little hokey, a little preachy, but short and to the point with some decent PG-13 level scares. It's definitely the most crowd-pleasing movie Shyamalan has had his name on in awhile.
knobgobbler said...
Shamalamadingdong pissed me off royally with 'Signs'... hokey, smarmy, preachy... and 'The Happening' really put the bolts in the coffin and welded them shut.
Still... I think his brand of snake oil might be a lot better served in smaller helpings with a bit less auteur-like control.
He's no Rod Serling bit I'd be curious if this 'Night Chronicles' project morphed into an anthology series.
I think the Night Chronicles will continue - at the very least they'll get one more movie out. Based on Devil's quality, though, I hope they can go a few more than that.

both options will be plus shipping. We are working to have this ready to start shipping in the weeks following TX2K14. Thanks for your patience.
How has the testing gone? Curious about uptake from over the hump and also fuel starvation around corners. Thanks, guys!
I am not following the first part of your question.
As far as around corners, I believe someone else asked about this question as well, there is no better fuel solution than a properly designed surge tank for a track car. If you are on a competitive level then most will be willing to go that route. This fuel solution is for those looking to increase fuel flow for boosted applications under normal street driving conditions. It will still be using the factory basket assembly so you will be limited to the same gas tank design as factory as far as fuel sloshing around on turns. For the track guy not willing to run a surge tank, we can work with those guys over time to adjust the venturi setup to best suit their needs but that doesn't prevent fuel from sloshing, it will only allow more fuel to return to the driver side of the tank, which yes should aid in fuel starvation if we can always keep it full. But the immediate release will not be focused on a road racing application.
*** just a final note on that, if we were able to make adjustments to further improve on fuel starvation around corners, it wouldn't be a whole system redesign so would be minor cost effective change for those early adopters to be able to upgrade.
Has anyone got one of these installed?

LSU Drubs Central Michigan 49-21
Scott Prather Published: September 18, 2021

After a week 1 loss at UCLA, and a lackluster week 2 win over McNeese State, the LSU Tigers were looking to take a big step forward on Saturday night against the Central Michigan Chippewas.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock at Tiger Stadium, the step was taken, and LSU had secured a thorough 49-21 victory.
"I really think we made a positive step," said head coach Ed Orgeron following the win. "We've still got some things to fix, but I told our team we had to go out there and play like LSU tonight, and for the most part, we did."
LSU started fast, scoring a touchdown on the first possession of the game when quarterback Max Johnson connected with wide receiver Deion Smith on a 28-yard score.
Then it was the Tigers defense stepping up early when All-American cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. forced a fumble on CMU's first drive, as it was scooped up by senior defensive end Andre Anthony who ran 33 yards for a touchdown.
An early 14-0 lead set the tone for the rest of the game, as LSU cruised to victory.
Johnson finished the night with 5 touchdown passes on 26-47 for 372, joining former LSU quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Zach Mettenberger as the only players in school history to toss 5 TDs in a single game.
"I think our guys just came to work this week," said Johnson. "(Offensive coordinator Jake) Peetz made some great calls, we let it go, and our guys made some great plays for us. I thought the O-Line did a great job."
Blocking was an area of concern after the first two games of the season. Saturday night, the offensive line gave Johnson ample time.
Smith ended the night with 5 receptions for 135 yards, but he wasn't the only freshmen receiver to impress.
STM alum and Lafayette native Jack Bech caught 5 passes for 81 yards and an impressive one-handed score, while Brian Johnson Jr. reeled in 2 receptions for 50 yards.
Star receiver Kayshon Boutte finished the game with 6 catches for 44 yards and a touchdown, his FBS leading 6th receiving touchdown of the young season.
"I think we took the next step (tonight). We're not there yet. But I told 'em, 'Hey, let's get better. Let's take the next step," added Orgeron. "We're gonna come back with the same attitude next week."
The Tigers (2-1) begin SEC play next Saturday at 11 am in Starkville against Mississippi State (2-1), who lost a heartbreaker today to Memphis 31-29.

This is for my 3 Political Science 101 exam. This covers the judiciary system and Foreign policy.
What is the term of a Federal Court judge?
Until he/she retires


Tomorrow is ever so close, the dreaded exam. Yesterday was a long day at work so to relax I swung by the barn to have a smoke and chill in the good weather. Got a good pep talk from a woman who is going through a similiar thing I'm going through with "G". I still felt kinds down though. Left pretty early to go home. I texted "G" just to ask if I got mail, cause not everything has been changed over. HE immediately called and said that I didn't have anything. He chatted with me for a few minutes, I was tired and I could tell he was tired. He said he go tout of work at noon yesterday to work on his motorcycle and just busy with jobs on the side and such, I told him I was busy with test and upcoming show. We hung up on civil terms, and you'll all be proud, I was the one to end the conversation, see it's the baby steps I need to focus on. I was still feeling kinda down so I decided to stop by the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. It' really beautiful up there on the hillside, hence the name hillside cemetery hehehe. I talked to them for a few until the bugs got the best of me and then decided to stop by their house which is like a mile down the road, see picture above.
The door was unlocked cause there's practically nothing in it and the realtor has been showing it to people. I walked in and the smell was just inviting. I could hear all the sounds of my childhood in the kitchen where we had so many parties and gatherings, it's like the walls were talking to me. My senses were overloaded. I caught myself yelling "Hello?" like I always did because my grandfather was usually sitting in his easy chair in the living room with the TV blasted. There was obviously no answer other than an echo around the room. It was sad to see all of the magnets on the refrigerator gone and all the family photos and dried flowers missing. My grandmothers cook books were still on the shelves. I miss them so much. They were animals lovers and realists. They lived only 4 miles from us growing up that we were always there either walking or biking and spent the night when my parents would go away. It was only 2 short years ago that they died. First my grandfather, and then 3 months later almost to the day my grandmother passed. They were a big part of my life. early on when I would do local shows walk trot and the junior stuff they would come and watch and my grandfather would buy us all cheeseburgers from the Feed Bag lunch counter at the show. My grandmother would stand on the rail and whisper "oh, isn't he pretty, good boy" as I would ride by. You never realize how much you care or miss their support until their gone. During these hard times I often picture myself talking to them and visiting with them about what's going on. It's conforting to talk to them in my thoughts. I went through the whole house. Upstairs I found a box of pictures that I carried on my hip and out the door. Instead of going home and studying, my parents and myself sat around the kitchen table and looked at old pictures. Pictures of a few years ago and some of back in the 50's and 60's. It was good to look at all the smiling faces agai nand see all the happy people. I really miss my childhood. My cousins used to come to Maine all the time and we were very close. Now we're adults with grown-up jobs and grown-up lives. One's a doctor, one is an environmentalist, my brother is workingon acting in Hollywood, one is getting married soon, one is still living at home (no, not me) And the youngest ones are graduating highschool this year. Where does the time go. Somedays I wish I could have one more day of running around my grandparents yard with shorts and a T-shirt with blonde hair flying and skinned up knees playing on the "big rock" with my cousins and begging for a sleep over that night. Those are all memories that I cherish and love and will have forever until I see my grandparents again.
So tonight going to the barn just for a few minutes to watch a lesson. Then coming home to pack for the weekend and get to bed at a decent hour. Probably can't blog until Monday cause my parents computer crashed and I won't be at work tomorrow. Everyone havea good weekend and do lots of things with your horses and or animals and family. Take Care.
I know how sad that is. I grew up with only on set of grandparents, as the other passed on when I was almost too young to remember them. So I was very close to my one set of grandparents.
Last year - following up on barn fire, and the loss of a good job, I lost my Grandpa - it was hard. I knew it was going to happen because he was sick and no longer talking or eating. So I said my good bye to him and left for a horse show. I wanted to be with my horses when it happened, and I am glad I was. It was a sad grey day - but I was happy that he was no longer in pain and in heaven.
It happened early in the morning so I got up, I threw on a hoodie on and drew the hood up over my head and hung out in Stretch's stall until my friend made me come out and eat something - Kelly - that same great friend that did so much for me after the fire.
Going through the old stuff is sad too but nice in away and I think you realized that. Those memories you'll have forever...so many things come and go but those will you'll always have.
Good job on dealing with "G" I feel uplifted knowing you are doing better!!
Just to add on to the "G" thing. I actually talked to him today because he knows about my show Saturday and wanted to know if I needed him to watch the dogs. Now, I know the dogs would love to see him and if he's around they would be happirt ahn being cooped up in my parents house. So I told him if he wanted to he could. I will drop them off at his house very early tomorrow, go take my exam and then go back to his house to pick them up in the afternoon and take them to the barn with me as I get ready for the show, ride, bathe, clip, braid, pack etc... The Friday night drop them back off at his house and go back to the barn to sleep in the camper to go to the show the next day. I'm looking for some strength in not caving or soing anything inappropriate. He even told me on the phone today that he knew my friend Sarah was mad that I was talking to him. He told me that he knows he's bad for me right now. I counteracted by asking him if what he as doing was good for his life and he said probably not. Atleast maybe he can realize it right now, but the questions is if he can act on it. So I need strength. This is going to be a trying beginning to the weekend with all this contact. But I can honestly say that it is for the good of the dogs and not some weird way for me to get my fix of "G". The message I want to send him is that I am not supportive of his behaviors or lifestyle and am not just going to do what he wants me to do. I told him on the phone after the whole "I'm not good for you thing" that I just needed to keep a little space between us, that made him not answer. So think of me tomorrow and I'll be hoping for the best show for U. I do wich that you wre closer so we could hang out!!! Ever think of coming to Maine for a vacation??? I know lots of horses you could ride, we have 61 at my barn.

CLOSED LOOP VENTURES
CLOSED LOOP FUND
CLOSED LOOP LEADERSHIP FUND
NextGen Consortium
Pro-Recycling Narrative Development
In early 2017, Closed Loop Foundation and its partners engaged M+R in a multi-phase effort to drive a positive narrative about recycling in the media. During the first phase of work, M+R began with a discovery process and developed a message architecture designed to reach four key audiences: local government officials; investors, recycling business owners, and entrepreneurs; c-suite executives; and consumers. In the second phase of work, M+R built a communications plan and implemented an earned media strategy to amplify these messages and the stories of spokespeople in the recycling industry identified by the partners.
The coalition came away with some clear wins, which suggest that this work could be replicated in the future to even greater success. Here is a snapshot of key accomplishments:
Placed a letter to the editor in USA Today authored by Lakeshore Recycling's CEO Alan Handley, highlighting the profitability of recycling;
Placed a letter to the editor in Governing magazine authored by Robert Knecht, public works director for the City of Memphis, emphasizing the benefits of recycling for municipalities;
Placed an op-ed in The Hill authored by Ron Gonen, co-founder and managing partner of Closed Loop Partners, focused on potential budget cuts to federal recycling programs;
Secured positive coverage of AMP Robotics and its mechanical sorting arm "Clarke" in numerous outlets in Colorado, including Boulder Weekly, ColoradoBiz, and Colorado Public Radio;
Proactive outreach in Colorado led to not only an increase in pro-recycling stories in the state, but also helped with the dissemination of positive messages about recycling as a means to counter the false narrative that recycling "doesn't work."
Local stories were also picked up organically by national outlets (for example, Engadget covered AMP Robotics after finding out about them through the Colorado Public Radio story). This shows that the message frames have the ability to break-through beyond the state and regional level.
Secured story in Bloomberg BNA about e-waste recycling, which included an interview with spokesperson John Shegerian, founder of Electronic Recyclers International;
Placed a letter to the editor in MinnPost authored by Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership emphasizing the importance of Rep. Keith Ellison's zero waste legislation; and
Placed a letter to the editor in The Daily Iowan by Kathy Morris, director of the Waste Commission of Scott County, IA, focused on the importance of recycling to help combat climate change.
Recommendations for future iterations of this work include:
Continuing to cultivate spokespeople who can talk about complex issues in ways that are compelling and easy to understand for the general public; who feel comfortable delivering key messages; and who can stay cool under pressure and make themselves available for press opportunities;
Pursuing pitches that are timely, relevant to reporters' interests, and offer information that is new and compelling. It's also important to tap into larger media narratives and have an effective rapid response operation in place in order to capitalize on opportunities when they arise; and
Continuing to test a range of message frames including and in addition to the innovation messaging that worked particularly well during our engagement.
Closed Loop Partners invests in sustainable consumer goods, advanced recycling technologies and the development of the circular economy.

Glimpse Into The Future of Solar
Written by Jennifer Clark
It comes as no surprise that the solar industry has been booming over the past few years and will continue doing so as installing solar panels becomes more affordable for people.
And honestly, it just seems like the obvious choice. The sun gives the Earth 970 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of free energy every day. That's a lot more energy than we use from fossil fuels each year.
One kilowatt (kW) of power that's generated from solar panels prevents 150 lb. of coal from being mined, 300 lb. of carbon dioxide (CO2) from being emitted, and 105 gal. of water from being consumed.
The recent shift toward solar energy has saved 75 million of barrels oil annually because of all solar energy users. And if users needed another incentive to invest in solar panels, besides reducing the use of fossil fuels, photovoltaics (PV) solar panels are very reliable and have a long life span (20 to 40 years).
Sure, it may be a little expensive to initially install, but it'll be worth it in the long run when you're saving on energy costs and from having your panels last up to 40 years — consider it an investment.
The solar industry has a bright future. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is projecting that 22% of the world's power generation will come from solar energy by 2050.
This is one of the main reasons why the solar industry is becoming a popular market for investors worldwide. Here are some other influences on the solar industry's next 10 years of growth...
Global Push Toward Solar
Globally, governments are getting behind solar energy in order to fulfill their commitments toward climate change.
The CEO of SolarPower Europe, James Watson, said: "In order to meet the Paris [climate agreement] targets, it would be important if solar could continue its rapid growth. The global solar industry is ready to do that, and can even speed up."
Countries are committed to effectively reducing the impact that we continue to have on the planet. Just take a look at Brazil, which recently released its 10-year energy expansion plan (PDEE) proposition. The country is projecting that it'll reach more than 13 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV deployment by 2026.
This comes at the perfect time because solar energy has become more accessible and affordable. It's something that governments can effectively put into their budgets. Not to mention, it's something that citizens can get on board with.
According to data compiled by Europe's solar power trade body, in 2016, the U.S. and China led the solar boom by doubling the amount of solar that was added, compared to 2015. These two countries are prime examples of the persistent global effort in becoming more reliant on solar as an energy source.
The solar industry growth continues to increase every year. According to GTM Research and Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the U.S. solar market grew 95% in 2016. And we should expect this type of growth to continue in the years to come.
SEIA's president and CEO, Abigail Ross Hopper, had this to say about the solar industry:
What these numbers tell you is that the solar industry is a force to be reckoned with. Solar's economically-winning hand is generating strong growth across all market segments nationwide, leading to more than 260,000 Americans now employed in solar.
GTM Research also reported that the American solar industry would be tripling its cumulative capacity over the next five years. So, where does this leave the solar industry in the next 10 years? Well, we have forecasts indicating that this industry will only keep growing and expanding. And its growth won't be solely focused on residential but also nonresidential, which is what we're seeing with countries across the globe that are adopting solar energy.
The only thing that could possibly disrupt the growth of this industry is trade relief, which is currently being considered by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC). This would greatly affect solar's outlook for the next 10 years — all segments that make up the solar industry would end up in a huge downside.
It's hard to predict the next 10 years because there's so much that could happen. But right now, it looks like the solar industry will keep experiencing amazing growth and being adopted globally.

This book was written by my Grandmothers Cousin Betty and the book is Betty's mother's life story.
I think she has wonderfully captured the essence of Mary aka Mop, as I now feel like I knew her. I found the book interesting and quite enjoyed it, but I don't know if that it would be of much interest to an outsider, you'd have to be a history buff I guess, as it really is a time capsule of days gone by in old Dubbo NSW.
"If all people were made to walk in a forest every day & study it, I'm sure there would be more peace & love to man, animals, & all growing things in this old world" – Mop Stroud (1913-1982).

Liquidity infusion
Sterling & Wilson promoter Khurshed Daruvala sells 4.99% equity stake to reduce leverage
Published 10 months ago on Apr 02, 2021 • 2 minutes Read
Sterling and Wilson Solar had a positive start to the new financial year as its stock price gained 8% on April 1 to close at ₹279, after its US subsidiary bagged an order worth $121.7 million. Just a day earlier on March 31, promoter Khurshed Daruvala, had offloaded 4.99% stake in a bulk deal at an average price of ₹250/share to raise ₹2 billion. Post the sale, Daruvala's direct holding has reduced from 14.76% to 9.77%. He also sold stock worth ₹693 million on December 31, 2020. Overall promoter holding now stands at 69.36% with Shapoorji Pallonji and Company holding 51.48% and Daruvala and family holding the rest.
The stock's upward run has continued since but the Shapoorji Pallonji group company has had its back against the wall for a while now. In the December 2020 quarter, the solar engineering-procurement-and-construction contractor witnessed a fall of over 55% in its consolidated net profit to ₹224.5 million against ₹502.7 million in the year ago period.
Then, there has been the longstanding issue about outstanding loans made by the company to promoter entities. As of December 31, 2020, the promoters owed the company ₹11.67 billion. Citing the economic slowdown and challenges presented by the pandemic, the promoters had sought an extension last year. The Board approved and revised the timeline to September 30, 2021. In March, Sterling and Wilson Solar sold two SPVs for ₹2.5 billion to raise capital and that was followed by Daruvala's latest stake sale. After the latest repayment of ₹4.02 billion, the outstanding is now down to ₹7.9 billion.
Even though it listed nearly two years ago, the stock is not widely covered by analysts. Coupled with low domestic institution holding, the stock is also trading much below its IPO price of ₹780. In the December 2020 quarter, institutional holding stood at 9.39% compared with 11.14% in September 2020. The March 2021 institutional holding could see a bump up as the counterparties in the latest bulk deal will be disclosed.
As of December 2020, mutual fund holding stood at 2.33% with Nippon Life India Trustee holding 1.89%. FIIs held 6.6% with BNP Paribas Arbitrage – ODI and Carmignac Portfolio holding 1.35% and 1.12%, respectively. Apart from institutions, IIFL Securities held 1.88%.

In this warm-hearted, practical book, Jim Bob Solsbery offers the kind of advice most of us have needed since that day we stopped laughing a lot. Jim Bob reminds us that "Humor Is An Attitude," with a series of memorable anecdotes, real-life examples and pithy quotes.
Relationships are at the heart of high-performing classrooms, and unconditional positive regard (UPR) is a key strategy used to develop strong, positive relationships. Bringing UPR into classrooms and schools will give teachers more time to teach and students more time to learn. The authors demonstrate how to build a classroom full of respect, empathic understanding, compassion, fairness, trust, patience, and self-control that are all key components of UPR and necessary for authentic, culturally responsive classrooms. The authors also provide doable strategies and activities to implement and nurture each of these components so the teachers can bring unconditional positive regard into their classrooms and the wider school community to enjoy high-performing classrooms.
This DVD includes: All of the Self-Control strategies you have learned, which will help you "remain calm and respond right" every time. All of the seminar philosophy and strategies, which will help set you and your children up for peak performance. All of the rapport building philosophy and strategies which will help you establish connections with all children, even children who challenge, and which always pay big dividends to the classroom teacher. Also, classroom arrangement ideas! All of the seminar philosophy and strategies which will guarantee that you "stay out of the tornado" and never again find yourself giving multiple warnings and repeated requests. "All of the critically important "what if's" asked by teachers from around America, and answered by a master educator.
Learn how to use strategies and habits described within this valuable volume to increase your safety and security readiness as well as to greatly improve your survival chances during critical incidents that could occur at your school or on your own personal time in your home or in public places.
Author, Eric Combs, examines the human psyche under stress, history and types of threats against schools, and strategies and habits to employ while creating a safer school campus WITHOUT creating a fearful place that looks more like a prison that a place of learning.
Eric identifies common threats to your own personal physical security as well as threats to you emanating from the digital world, and he offers you strategies and habits to reduce the possibility of you becoming a victim in either of these arenas.


Natural Enchantment is the remembered elegance of one's soul. We are at once the echo of the divine and the pursuit of our affirmation on earth; all entwined in the struggle of being loved, and dealing with what we find unlovable in ourselves.
I've been giving some thought as to what it is we do that makes us happy. Is it the people we love or the people who love us: sharing in the cherished history of friendship? Is the angel we seek the one whose can turn it all around and sniff out danger ahead and whack it with a big sword? Or is it the one who floods the senses with a huge amount of love that we can't seem to give ourselves? Among us our human angels, who've stepped in to say, "I am here, you are not alone." Maybe it's all about what we choose to believe.
There is a great love for each of us. I try to remember this when I see those that are hurt, and broken, their cords to Life Source entangled in a belief system that keeps them there.
We seek to be free, they say, and I remembered that song by Donavan.
The long somber trailers rumbled through town, filled with unsuspecting cows going to slaughter, their moon eyes were dilated with confusion and lost lonely emptiness slumped their gaits in down trodden despair. We have all felt like that at one time.
There among the pieces of sanctioned misery, for all those who have lost, or never had their freedom; there is a promised land. Out of the ruinous catastrophes of their seemingly hopeless lives there is a light. If one can Remix wonder with the beat of humanity; then you will have something that resonates in the now, transcends the devastations of the suffering, and clasps hands with the ones who can take the simplest of moments to soothe themselves again.
Surely a dream must have a song, this is a classic common tale that we all share.
Why do I love this song? is it because it reminds me of my childhood? Or perhaps speaks of dreams coming true? Yes, all the best of life fulfilled eventually, after the longing, in the sweet sadness of life's woes and disappointments.
There in the heart of everyone is this universal truth, somewhere we can escape to, someplace where we can live our dreams. It is a common calling that comes with being born. No matter your fortune, good or lack of, there is always something we want to make right, to have or be delivered from. In a world of such diverse contrasts, it is an ignitable presence in all of our lives that resonates at our core and surely seeks a hopeful distraction.
When I was young, the elders spoke of believing in oneself, and if you did that your dreams would come true. I've come to believe that as I got older my beliefs were shaken most by those that didn't embrace this truth; and when my dreams coming true depended on them believing as well, then that was where all my troubles began.
Yes, it is challenging to continue from a center of well being in the midst of chaos, heartache when people let you down. When I finally accepted that people have their own perspectives, their own paths, and the right to them, that I started feeling better. We can not control the behavior of others, we can only be as it is said, "The change we want to see in the world." There is great peace in knowing this.
Maybe the rainbow is really just our hearts, and minds choosing to be happy just for the fun of it.


On our recent trip to Napa Valley during harvest we made it a point to visit Seavey Vineyard. I've long been a fan of their under the radar age-worthy Cabernet and wanted to see their operation and taste their current releases, especially their flagship wine: The Seavey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2009.
I left Seavey Vineyard with delicious estate Cabernet and Merlot to take home and enjoy. But that wasn't all we took home. We had an intimate one on one experience with Dorie Seavey, the daughter of William Seavey who founded Seavey Vineyard.

Mom's apartment might have an ant problem. I went over today to stock her up on disposable underwear and take her some cashews and almonds, her current favorite snacks. We chatted a bit, I scooped the litter. All seemed fine. I often notice little crumbles of cat food scattered near the two bowls of food in her bedroom, and I try to pick them up individually. I was starting to do that today when I noticed one piece had about five little ants on it. I stood there, bent over, examining the floor, and I could see ants in the vicinity of that single piece, ants on another piece, ants crawling around one of the two food bowls. Ugh. Years ago, Mom bought a Dirt Devil hand-held vacuum. I suspect it was used fewer than a dozen times in all the years she had it in her last two apartments. But that thing has come in handy in this assisted living apartment. I started vacuuming up the stray pieces of cat food, following a small trail over to the wall, where a single piece of food was completely black with these tiny ants. I threw away the food and the vacuum contents into the trash and sealed up the bag. I washed the food bowls and refilled them and the water bowl. Mom just watched me, having no idea that this might be a problem. I suppose I'll have to tell the facility staff, but I didn't today – I tend to go to the regular weekday crew to report problems or ask questions.
I also have scheduled a haircut for her in a few Saturdays. We'll have a little lunch and then go to my stylist to clean up Mom's shaggy head of hair. She has been telling me occasionally that she'd like to have something done with her hair. Today when I told her I made this appointment, she said, "What if I don't like the haircut?" Heavy sigh. I don't think I need to worry too much. She looks so messy most days that I can't imagine having it all cleaned up will make that much difference to her. It will inevitably be shorter, which might startle her initially, but I don't think it will be a big deal. I tried to trim up the back of her hair once a month or so ago, but I'm not skilled and that left it possibly worse than before. I can tell Mom trims her own bangs from time to time, something she has done all her life. My stylist said something interesting when I scheduled the appointment. I've been going to her for years, and have talked a lot about Mom's illness with her. Her own mother died several years ago of cancer. She had always cut her mom's hair, and she styled it one last time at the funeral home – something I considered such a loving act. When I thanked her for being willing to take on the unpredictable that Mom may offer, she said, "Hey, I wish I had my mom's hair to cut. I'm happy to do it." That's something I hadn't really considered.


Nissan has a released a video of its JUKE NISMO RS dashing through the snow, showcasing the vehicle's versatility.
Dubbed "JUKE NISMO RSnow", the car is almost the same with the All-Wheel Drive stock JUKE NISMO RS with Xtronic CVT, except for the four wheels which have been replaced by the DOMINATOR Track Systems which are built by a company called American Track Truck.
With the DOMINATOR Track Systems, the JUKE NISMO RS can travel on snow up to around 60 miles per hour.
Nissan didn't mention the price, but you would expect to shell out around $44,000 for the JUKE NISMO RSnow, as the stock Nissan JUKE NISMO RS with CVT is priced around $28,000 and the track systems costs around $16,000.
