So this evening Jeff came home from b-ball with a large welt on his leg. So I figured that I would debut some of our "accidents" from playing basketball over the years.
Can you see the bump? This is after 15 min of ice. Poor Jeff. A little bruise starting.
Jeff's swollen ankle that is still huge 2 years after. They took radiographs but said that it wasn't broken.
I fractured a bone near the knuckle.
Do you have any essential oils such as lavender, Melalueca, or oregano that could be massaged on your bruises, sprains, and injuries? They help considerably. Also soaking with Epsom salt or a small towel soaked in its solution is very healing.
We look forward to visiting you no later than April 25 or 26. . . Will Shelley's family be there for her graduation?
We love you, Shelley and Jeffrey!
What the World - you guys have definitely been playing too hard! Time to stay home chill and relax all those bumps, bruises, and breaks.

Famous Bible parables like The Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son offer powerful messages of hope, love, and wisdom that can benefit our lives today. Hope Refreshed brings six parables back to life again as they are retold as relatable, modern stories. The plots are the same, yet each parable is transformed into a contemporary short story with dramatic plots and compelling characters in present-day predicaments. Each retold parable still delivers their messages of wisdom in the twenty-first century! If you're not familiar with these parables that's okay, the stories were written with you in mind. Each retelling is entertaining, and the message in the parable is easily understood. If the parables are already familiar to you, the retelling will also entertain and reinvigorate your understanding of the messages that Jesus delivered two thousand years ago. All readers will appreciate the messages of grace, love hope, and redemption that have stood the test of time.
Robert Goluba was born and raised in Central Illinois, where he attended college, served in the Army National Guard, and met his wife. At age thirty, after a self-diagnosed allergy to snow, he moved to sunny Gilbert, Arizona, where he now lives with his beautiful wife and two daughters.
Alex has really disappointed his family and especially his father with his poor decisions, but he knows his father still loves him. This excerpt includes the point where Alex makes the decision, with the help of a volunteer at the homeless shelter, to stop running from his problem and call his father. The response to the call surprises even Alex.
Roger just stared at Alex, without uttering a word.
The Return Alex took Roger's phone and walked outside to the church's concrete bench, where he had slept the night before. It was quiet there, and Alex wanted complete privacy for what he was about to do. He dialed Papa's number and then paused. He took a deep breath and hit Send.
Alex froze. Warm emotions streamed through him at the sound of his father's voice. He was choked up and did not know what to say.
Afraid Papa would hang up, Alex managed to summon enough air from his lungs to say, "Dad, it's me. It's Alex." Alex braced himself because he was certain his father would yell or sigh in utter disappointment.
Alex was not sure why, but his father's concerned words had him suddenly sobbing uncontrollably. A massive wave of guilt came crashing over him, and he needed to purge every last bit of shame.


For people who have curiosity about the bridge physics and want to be architects, there is no question that Bridge The Construction must be a great game for them. Players have to play the game with wireframe of 3D environment for building the bridges with different sizes as well as materials. They have to build the holding bridge without exceeding the budget. It is great that it comes with limited budget, wind speed, material options, as well as simulation and run test. This game sounds pretty simple because it is just the game for building a bridge but in fact, it is the game which is fairly difficult to accomplish.

Vandals Destroy Books
Jerry Bergman, Ph. D.
(Investigator 87, 2002 November)
I am the author of several scholarly books and monographs about the Jehovah's Witnesses. My books and articles on the Watchtower and related topics are found in hundreds of university, college and other libraries, and have also been translated into 12 languages. Several of my publications on the Watchtower were based on my masters thesis in social psychology completed at Bowling Green State University.
In the past decade I have received several reports indicating my books on the Witnesses movement in many libraries were destroyed or stolen, and soon noted articles in various papers confirming this (Cebula, 1997; Hodges, 1997; Jackson, 1997; and Turner, 1997).
Scores of libraries have reported the problem, including the University of Toledo, Anderson University, Christian Theological Seminary, Marian College in Indianapolis, Concordia College, and other colleges in at least 3 states. One report noted that "Books on the Jehovah's Witnesses religion have been destroyed or stolen from area theological libraries across the state" (Hodges, 1997, p. 1).
I have researched the situation at several college libraries and what I found was very disturbing.
At Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, Indiana 30 books on the Watchtower were "torn in half, slashed with a knife or razor blade, or had pages ripped out" (Hodges, 1997, p. 1). At Anderson College University, 24 books were mutilated, lost or destroyed (Cebula, 1997). In 2002 at the University of Toledo I discovered the pages from my reference bibliography on the Watchtower were ripped from cover to cover and the book was then put back on the shelf. At Concordia college where the library owned three of my books, one was in the reference collection, another was checked out at the time, and a third was severely damaged.
After calling several libraries, I found out that the people involved are evidently only destroying books that are about, but were not published by, the Watchtower Society. Even reprints of older Watchtower publications were destroyed! The culprits also at times left Watchtower magazines in the library, and sometimes they called the library asking to purchase the offending books before they were destroyed (Smith, 1997). All libraries that contain books about Jehovah's Witnesses should be aware of this problem.
The Vandals (actually censors) are likely active Witnesses. Although I am sure this is not done at the specific direction of the Watchtower Society, they do teach that Witnesses should burn all literature critical of them. No doubt this teaching encouraged Witnesses to destroy all books about the Watchtower not published by the Watchtower. Also, why have no books published by the Watchtower been affected? Furthermore, the Watchtower have so far refused to condemn this activity, and from my knowledge they passively approve of it.
I would encourage all libraries with this problem to utilize security cameras or place books that are targets of vandals behind the reference desk with a marker on the stacks to let patrons know they are available. Destruction of public property is a criminal offense, and I hope that libraries will actively prosecute anyone caught destroying public or Library property in this way. If anyone knows of other cases, please contact the author.

It struck me that we pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, but often we pray this so that we will know what to do or what decision to make. Paul prays not for that purpose but rather so that we would know our God better, the hope to which He has called us (v.18), and His incomparably great power (v.19)!
Don't sell God short on the wisdom and revelation I ask for. Let it not just be to navigate the world I live in, but to know my God and Savior deeply!
Lord, You are magnificent. You are awesome. I know I could not fathom Your great wisdom and power by which You established the universe and created such amazing things. Thank you for revealing Yourself to me, to stoop down into my muck and mire to deliver me and adopt me as Your son. Please give me Your Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I will know You better, the hope to which You have called me, and Your incomparably great power! I love you!

Graphic designer Vaughan Oliver has collaborated with Pixies since the 1980s, designing covers for some of the band's best known albums. His latest artwork for new release Head Carrier was designed in collaboration with artist Ian Pollock and Joshua Price, a University of Greenwich student and intern at Oliver's Studio.
The design is inspired by lyrics from the album and characters described within them, and combines collage imagery with lettering designed and shot by Price. A limited edition boxset includes an illustrated lyrics book and a poster featuring artwork by Oliver.
Artwork for the record will be on display as part of Where Do Ideas Come From, a graphics exhibition taking place during Northern Design Festival in Newcastle from October 7 to 16. The exhibition will feature work by ten image makers including Lucienne Roberts+, Chrissie MacDonald, Alan Kitching and Angus Hyland, exploring their process and inspiration. See ndesignfest.co.uk for details. Head Carrier is out now on record label Play It Again Sam.


President Donald Trump has signed executive orders following through on his campaign promise to tighten immigration on various fronts. This strict stance on immigration could actually have echoes reaching even the state of Indiana.
President Trump has signed executive orders giving the go-ahead to build his infamous border wall as well as punishing so-called sanctuary cities and increasing funding to border protection efforts. He is also slated to sign an order following through on his promise to restrict immigration to the United States from specific Muslim countries.
This could have some effects in the state of Indiana. Exodus Refugee Immigration, who were planning to set up shop in Bloomington, has now run into a wall. With the order to restrict Muslim immigration, they will be unable to accept refugees from Syria and African nations, as was originally the plan.
On the immediate effects of the Mexican immigration crack down, attorney John Broyles says there's not much to worry about in the short term. "The immigration courts are already backlogged. These things can't happen just like that and so it is going to take some time," he stated.
One of the key arguments against Trump's undocumented immigrant stance during the election was the massive amount of time and money it would take to deport them all legally. As Broyles stated, you can't just throw out tens of millions of people overnight.

Ellen Fischer moved for summary judgment on behalf of a local obstetrician. The plaintiff claimed the obstetrician failed to remove all of the placenta after childbirth, resulting in postpartum hemorrhage. The plaintiff submitted two expert affirmations, but the Court agreed with the defense that the plaintiff's experts failed to meet the standard of proof, and dismissed the entire case against the obstetrician.

My mom used to buy seasoned breadcrumbs that came in a canister. She used them to bread cutlets, in meatballs and meatloaf. I bread tofu and tempeh cutlets, I make meatballs and meatloaf. At first I was just making plain breadcrumbs out of our weekly bread, but now I season them up so they are ready to go whenever I need them!
To make bread crumbs, use day old bread (at least.) Cut the bread into small cubes and place on a baking sheet. Place in the corner of the kitchen and leave uncovered overnight so the bread dries out. Bake in a 400 oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until browning. When they are cool, pulse them in the food processor until crumbs form, up to 2 minutes.
*You can buy plain bread crumbs if you don't want to make your own and proceed the same way.
Drop the breadcrumbs into a jar that has a lid. Add the seasonings and shake it up. Store with the lid on and use whenever you need seasoned breadcrumbs.

Interview: Jericho Brown (2015)
The following interview appears in the 2014-2015 Edition of R2 and was conducted by Patrick Huang.
Jericho Brown is a poet whose work has been featured in The New Yorker, The Nation, The New Republic, The Best American Poetry, and Nikki Giovanni's 100 Best African American Poems. A native of Shreeport, Louisiana, Brown worked as a speechwriter for New Orleans Mayor Marc Murial before receiving his Ph. D. in creative writing and literature from the University of Houston. His first poetry collection, Please, won the 2009 American Book Award. His second and most recently published collection, The New Testament, was named a "Best Book of 2014" by Library Journal. Brown currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where he teaches creative writing at Emory University.
Before earning your Ph. D. in literature and creative writing, you worked as a speechwriter for the mayor of New Orleans. How has your work in speechwriting influenced your poetry?
If anything, poetry was always an escape from speechwriting in those days. Writing a speech, I sat down knowing the point. My job was to stay on message. The joy for me of writing a poem is discovery. When I'm working well, I'm learning things and asking questions that speeches could never accommodate. The joy of writing poetry is not knowing the point but following the music of language until I arrive at something that engenders in me not just knowledge but also a feeling of wonder.
What does poetry, as a platform for personal expression, offer to you that other literary forms do not?
The poem mirrors the life of the believer, mirrors the process of prayer. For instance, line breaks have everything to do with doubt. Poetry is so different from prose because it's infused with doubt. At the moment of a line break, even for a millisecond, you're thrust into doubt. Only faith that the next line will land us on solid ground keeps us breathing. This recognition of our breathing is sheer acknowledgement of the limitless value of our lives. Yes, poems do carry meaning, but what attracts us to them is how well they remind us of our own breath.
In your most recent collection, The New Testament, you wrote in one of your poems, "Hustle": "I eat with humans who think any book full of black characters is about race." Overall, your work seems to revolve around issues of sexuality, love, violence, masculinity, family, spirituality, mortality, and race (among other things, of course). When someone attempts to categorize you exclusively as a "homosexual" or a "gym rat" or a "Southern black man" or a "religious' poet," etc. (while misrepresenting or failing to acknowledge the other parts of your identity), how do you resist such curtailment or oversimplification of your identity?
Well, I don't exactly "resist" any identifiers because I don't automatically think of it as "curtailment" or "oversimplification." So yes, the parenthetical phrase in your question is of utmost importance.
I know others think that Southern is only Southern and that black is only black and that gay is only gay, but I know those terms to be expansive and expanding.
Yes, I'm bothered when people use those terms to limit and when people see them as limiting. All that is to say that it's a matter of knowing who is making use of the term and to what end they are using it. (I actually wish I were a "gym rat," because I imagine that if I were I'd be a lot finer and a lot less self-conscious about how I look physically. Still, I don't assume that the gym rats I meet aren't poets because I know poets who love to workout like Kyle Dargan and John Murillo.) I don't see anything wrong with people calling me black so long as I know they do that with the knowledge of there existing in this world George Washington Carver and Dominique Dawes and the poet and birdwatcher Sean Hill. And any attention to the history of art would show that being called gay might very well be the best compliment of all time.
Also...I knew Jorie Graham and Mark Strand were white the first time I read books by them. I knew Strand was (supposed to be whatever we call) straight. I knew Graham was born in New York and raised in Italy. I don't know these poets' relationship to exercise. And as far as I can tell, I never held any of this against any of them. People are under this weird impression that when we read poets I love like Plath and Lowell and Ashbery that we don't know we're reading white people. Well, I'm not under that impression. They are white. And as far as I can tell, they don't want to be anything other than white and have no reason to be o ended by the fact that I know they are white. I want that same thing for black gay Southern gym rat poets. Know it and love me! Not "know it and love me anyway." Not "know it and love me in spite of." Not "know it and think it's a shame when he makes use of it in his poems." I want people to pick up my books and read and say, "Damn, he did a great thing here!" And I want them to accept the fact that me doing that great thing is informed by a tradition that is not only straight, white, fat, and New Englander.
Like every other poet on the planet, I pull from the elements of my life in order to make my poems. My black life matters.
But your question, though, was how do I resist the relentless pigeonholing that goes on. My answer is that I try to answer questions like this one as honestly as I know how with the hope that people see the answer and at least begin to think about the compulsory heteronormative whiteness that reigns over so much of our lives. Other than that, I just try to write my ass o and let a bunch of jealous bitches su er. I'm not foolish enough to think I'm everybody's cup of tea, but it's a damn shame if I'm offering the flavor you need and you're looking for socially constructed excuses not to quench your own thirst all because of my author photo.
A lot of us (Rice folks) are/were intrigued by your slow, wave-like, almost incantatory-sounding reading style. Have you always read this way—or is this style one that you developed over the years? Do you think the rhythm of your delivery will continue to evolve?
I don't think of myself as a performer, so I haven't monitored the evolution of the way I deliver a poem. I imagine it has changed and will continue to do so without me knowing. I mostly try to put myself in the mindset that I was in when writing the poem. If I can get to that mindset, I can slow down and enjoy the music of language while reading in front of people just as I did when I was writing alone.
The only other thing I can add is that I know what I want from a poetry reading, so I probably try to give just that.
You possess a strong connection to music, as evidenced in your first collection, Please, which features tributes to late 60s and 70s soul icons such as Diana Ross, Minnie Riperton, and Janis Joplin. Can you tell us a bit about the emotional connection you feel with when listening to these particular artists and how they inspire your poems? Are there artists in later decades—perhaps even in the 2000s and onwards—that inspire you in any similar ways?
Hmm...I think it's a good idea to enjoy as much as you can of whatever it is you enjoy. I like to hear people sing. I'm particularly attracted to singers who at first seem to have limited talent but figure ways through their performances to make that talent go a long way toward emotional impact. So I like Mary J. Blige's The Breakthrough—which is as about as recent as I go lately—because it seems to me an album about a voice in recovery. And I like Gladys Knight because she's simply never thought of lack of range as a limitation in spite of having people like Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle as her contemporaries.
You once wrote that you "strive to be clear—not obvious." What advice would you give to students of poetry (or writing in general) to help them improve the clarity of their work?
Being circuitous doesn't equal sounding wise. What you know sounds like knowledge, so be as exact about it as possible in as many ways as you can.
Professor Amber Dermont frequently admonishes her students to "serve the story" (or poem) rather than one's ego when writing. While this task might seem simple and obvious, it can sometimes be a di cult problem that many writers don't even realize they are failing to address/tackle. How do you teach, train, and/or force your ego to stay away from your serving the poem?
All of this is a matter of training oneself to become more and more vulnerable to his or her work. My trouble in life has been that I'm not willing to become vulnerable to other people, so maybe that makes it easier for me to be vulnerable to my poems. I don't know. I do know that real writing takes real risk—the willingness to lose time and reputation. Once your body has been compromised or once you lose your parents or once you understand that, yes, you are going to die, maybe then it's easier to see time and reputation through a lens more conducive to that of a writer. As it is, we're all trained to see the world through the lens of gain after gain without any acceptance for the fact that, in reality, no gain is made without some series of losses.
If you had to convince a young reader who claims that she or he doesn't appreciate poetry as a literary form, how would you go about cultivating a new perspective in her/his mind?
I think that's as simple as reminding people that poetry is art. When we drive with the car radio playing, we hear song after song without paying any particular attention. After a few songs play, a song we love comes on, and we turn up the volume and turn our car seats into miniature dance floors. Nothing about this experience leads us to believe that we don't like music. We pass by visual art—sculptures, paintings—all day without noticing. Every once in a while, though, we come upon a piece of art that, for whatever reason, makes us stare in wonder. That experience doesn't leave us thinking that we want the walls of our homes to remain as bare as they are the day we move in. I think we understand and come to love more poetry the more we put ourselves in a position that poetry can do its work on us. We make ourselves available to music and visual art. We can make ourselves available to poetry and cast aside what of it doesn't feed us while expecting to encounter what does.
Go to readings. Or just watch them on YouTube for heaven's sake. Go to bookstores. Pick up books, and put them down if you don't like them. I believe that what we think we love today might lead us back to some of those books we put down so quickly yesterday. But we have to be where the poetry is. If any one art enhances your life, then making yourself available to any other art is worth it.
I share my body with an angel / of light who sunbursts / on my horizons at dusk

KINMEL Bay lost further ground at the Lock Stock Welsh Alliance Division Two summit as they fell to a narrow 1-0 reverse at Glan Conwy.
Andy Thomas' side were unable to claim something from what was a hotly contested and tight affair throughout, and they now sit in third spot and 13 points behind runaway leaders Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateurs following their win at Holyhead Town.
Bay will look to put things right and get their impressive first season in the fourth tier back on track when they welcome the pacesetters in a pivotal clash in terms of their overall fortunes this Saturday.
There was nothing to choose between the two side during the contest, which was decided on 80 minutes when prolific forward Jordan Phillips produced a fine strike for the home side to secure the points.

I realize the best solution to a problem isn't to complain or point fingers but I am sorely disappointed with this company and its product. I recently purchased a Buffalo Linkstation LS421DE from a local computer parts store here in Ohio as a simple at home back-up solution and network sharing device. I got it home opened the box, took the harddrives out of my computer and installed them according to the directions that came in the box, and powered it on only to find out, it wipes ALL the data of the drives first! After reading a the directions a little more thoroughly I find small text (ironically print in bold) located on the 'AC Adapter' section of the large page that says "Original data saved on the added drive will be deleted...This seems a REALLY BAD place to put this.
I have 10 yrs. worth of data on these drives, personal files, from music recordings I've done with friends that have since passed away to photo's of loved ones that have passed as well, countless school documents that are now possibly gone forever. I realize now that I should have taken that all into account and I guess read the directions a little more attentively but at the same time why didn't Buffalo Technologies do that when they wrote the directions? It's not just one's and zero's that are being served up on these devices its our memories and lives. If anyone from this company can point me in the right direction of a data recovery program I can use to retrieve my life back, I'd be eternally grateful.
You can try Drivesavers. Having a buffalo product should save you 10% i believe but there pricey and no guarantee there going to get some or most or even all of your data. The position where the sticker is, isn't the best place I totally agree.
Me too! I am in a bad spot in life and had only my 200 GB of movies I downloaded over the years. I recently reached in my bag, pulled out my HD-PS32OU2-US 300 GB drive only to discover that the drive is not able to load the USB mass storage driver. I have tried on multiple computers and know it is the drive which went out. No warranty on this old drive but I knew it would happen on day. I just didn't have access to my other Buffalo drive which is in storage. I still will buy more Buffalo's in the future. I have had horrible experiences with Western Digital, Seagate, and off brand name drives. I sure wish I didn't have to solve these hard math questions to post.
You can simply google the math question and it will give you the answer. Also I would try 2 things. One you can take apart the drive and connect the drive to your computer and see if it works or 2, you can contact a data company to recover your data. not the best idea or cheapest idea but that is another option.
It also states that the disks will be deleted in the quick setup guide.
If both are bad disk, you need to consult a data recovering company for recovering your data. If you just want to recover the unit. You need to TFTP the unit. FYI this unit can handle 4tb drives. Not sure which ones will or wont work. Normal drives more of a chance. Nas drives, your taking a chance if it will or wont.

Financial security among Americans improved in September as consumers showed especially strong confidence in their job security and net worth, according to a monthly survey by Bankrate.com.
Bankrate's Financial Security Index increased to 100.4, compared with 99.5 from the same period last year. The index, which is based on a national telephone survey, indicates an improvement in financial security over the past 12 months when it rises above 100.
The survey estimated that 26 percent of Americans feel more secure about their jobs compared with a year ago, while 14 percent feel less secure. Another 59 percent said they felt the same. The survey also estimated that 27 percent of Americans had a higher net worth this year compared with last year, while net worth declined for another 20 percent.
Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate's chief financial analyst, said that record highs in the stock market, as well as continued increases in home prices, contributed to the strong feelings about job security and net worth.
Bankrate's monthly survey measures how secure Americans feel about their personal finances compared with 12 months ago. From Sept. 4-7, telephone interviews (on landlines and cellphones) with 1,003 adults living in the continental U.S. were conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The results of Bankrate's Financial Security Index have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. This month, the index held steady at 100.4.
Over the next 12 months, do you think home prices in general will go up, down or stay the same?
36% of people 65 years old and older said they thought prices would stay the same, compared with 26% of people between 18 and 29 years of age.
People living in suburban and rural areas were more than twice as likely to say that prices would drop compared with urban dwellers.
More than half of all respondents — regardless of education level — said they thought prices would rise.
How do you feel about your job security compared with 12 months ago?
People nearing retirement (between ages 50 and 64) were more than twice as likely to say they felt less secure than millennials (between ages 18 and 29).
33% of men said they felt more secure, compared with 18% of women.
10% of parents said they felt less secure, compared with 17% of people who didn't have children.
How do you feel about the amount of money you have in savings compared with 12 months ago?
42% of unemployed workers were less comfortable, compared with 29% of people with jobs.
39% of women said they were less comfortable, compared with 31% of men.
27% of people with college degrees were more comfortable, compared with 17% of people who had only some college experience.
How do you feel about the amount of debt you have compared with 12 months ago?
26% of men were more comfortable with their debt, compared with 18% of women.
27% of college grads said they were more comfortable, compared with 16% of those who never attended college.
27% of people living in the Northeast were more comfortable, compared with 18% from the Midwest.
24% of people living in the South said their net worth was lower, compared with 15% of those in the Northeast.
37% of college grads said their net worth was higher, compared with 21% of those who never attended college.
34% of men said their net worth was higher, compared with 21% of women.
30% of women said their overall situation is worse, compared with 22% of men.
38% of college grads said their situation is better, compared with 22% of those who never attended college.
36% of those still in the workforce said their situation is better, compared with 16% of retirees.

Blockchain technology could be the great equalizer for American cities
Brooks Rainwater
Brooks Rainwater is the director of the Center for City Solutions and Applied Research at the National League of Cities.
Do cities still want a sharing economy?
As tech startups surge in cities, inclusive economic growth must be a priority
The city of Austin is currently piloting a program in which its 2,000 homeless residents will be given a unique identifier that's safely and securely recorded on the blockchain. This identifier will help individuals consolidate their records and seek out crucial services. Service providers will also be able to access the information. If successful, we'll have a new, more efficient way to communicate and ensure that the right people are at the table to help the homeless.
in Austin and around the country, it seems that blockchain technology is opening a range of opportunities for city service delivery and operations.
At its core, blockchain is a secure, inalterable electronic register. Serving as a shared database or distributed ledger, it is located permanently online for anything represented digitally, such as rights, goods and property. Through enhanced trust, consensus and autonomy, blockchain brings widespread decentralization to transactions.
At the municipal level, blockchain has the potential to create countless smart networks and grids, altering how we do everything from vote and build credit to receive energy. In many ways, it could be a crucial component of what is needed to circumvent outdated systems and build long-lasting solutions for cities.

As Motherboard has previously reported, it's a "rich getting richer" situation. But if it's good enough for the wealthy, why can't it be adequate to help the poorer, more vulnerable members of the population?
Consider, for a moment, that it might be a major player in the more inclusive future we've always wanted.
Arguably, we have a lot of work to do. According to new research, 43 percent of families struggle to afford basics like food and housing. These populations are perhaps the ones who stand to gain the most from blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the advent of smart cities — if done right.
Smart city technology is growing ever more common here in the US and around the world. Our research shows that 66% of cities have invested in some sort of smart city technological infrastructure that enables them to collect, aggregate and analyze real-time data to improve the lives of residents. Smart cities are already showing great promise in many ways to improve the lives of people who live in cities.
Take, for instance, electricity. With the help of blockchain, we can turn microgrids into a reality on a macro scale, enabling communities to more easily embrace solar power and other more sustainable sources, which in turn will result in fewer emissions and lower healthcare costs and rates of disease. But in the more immediate future, blockchain-enabled microgrids would allow consumers to join a power "exchange" in which they can sell their surplus energy. In many scenarios, the consumers' bills would either significantly drop, or they'd earn money.
Then there's the question of building credit. It should be no surprise that the poor are the most likely to have debt and unpaid bills and, therefore, bad credit. They are also the most likely to be "unbanked," as in they don't use banks at all. In fact, seven percent of Americans don't use banks. But with blockchain, we can design an alternate way to build and track transactions.
And, of course, there is voting — an issue that, more than ever, is vital to a thriving democracy. The US has lower voter turnout than just about every other developed country. In fact, just over half of voting-age Americans voted in 2016. We don't talk enough about how important civic engagement — and holding politicians accountable — is for making the playing field fairer. We do, however, talk about what it would be like to be able to email our votes from the comfort of our home computer or smartphone. While email isn't nearly secure enough for selecting our leaders, being able to vote from home is something we could — and should — aim to do.

Blockchain is proving to be a secure enough system to make this a reality. The result could be more youth, communities of color and disabled voters "showing up" to the polls. These online polls would be more "hack proof" — another contemporary concern — and votes could be counted in real time. Imagine never again going to bed thinking one candidate had won a race but waking up to find it was actually someone else.
Where will we go next with blockchain and what can this powerful new tool do for cities? Our latest National League of Cities report, Blockchain in Cities, provides mayors and other local officials with some clues. The research not only explores how cities can use blockchain now, but also how it will be used in the future to enable technology like autonomous vehicles that can "talk" to each other. These types of use cases — plus existing opportunities from blockchain—could potentially be transformative for municipal operations.
Blockchain is far more than just cryptocurrency. In time, blockchain could turn American society on its head, and at the same time make our major institutions, and the places we live, more inclusive. Cities — and in some cases states — are the places where this will be piloted. By developing smarter cities and utilizing blockchain as a secure resource, city leaders can provide community members with the tools they need for success.

Q: Read & change rotate value of an Element in SnapSVG Pls Check out this incomplete fiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/JayKandari/srqLLd97/).
Markup:
<svg id="paper" ></svg>

    <button onclick="calculateTransform()">Get Transform</button>

        Transform:

    <button onclick="rotateText('add')">Rotate + 10 Degrees</button>
    <button onclick="rotateText('sub')">Rotate - 10 Degrees</button>

JS Code:
console.clear();
var paper = Snap("#paper");

var t = paper.text(0, 0, "SnapSVG is Awesome !");
//Translate to 250, 250 & Scale by 2 & 45Deg Rotate
t.transform('T250,250 S2 R45');
// Enable Drag
t.drag();

var calculateTransform = function() {
    var currentTransform = t.transform().string;
    console.log('test', currentTransform)
    $('.results .transformResult').html(currentTransform)
}

var rotateText = function(op) {
    // Read Current Rotate Value here.
    var rotateVal = 0;
    // add/Subtract based on option
    if(op == 'add'){
        rotateVal += 10;
    }else if(op == 'sub') {
        rotateVal -= 10;
    }

    // Calculate newTransform here.
    var newTransform = 'T250,250 R' + rotateVal;

    // Update object's rotation here.
    t.attr({transform: newTransform });
}

Problems:

*

*Read current transformation applied to Element.

*Rotate current Element to a specific value.

A: What you probably are after in your mind is something like this...
var rotateVal = t.transform().localMatrix.split().rotate;

localMatrix gives the matrix specifically applied to that element.
globalMatrix gives the total matrix applying to that element (eg matrices from outer containers).
diffMatrix gives the difference between localMatrix and globalMatrix.
split() ( docs here ) breaks down that matrix into its elements. So we can find 'rotate' from here.
example fiddle
So this is the answer I think you are after.
However, I would actually design the code the slightly different if this is just a minimal example of a more complex design.
Rather than doing something like transform().localMatrix.split().rotate, I would store your own transform components. So something like...
var rotate = 45;
var tx = 250;
var ty = 250;
...then in func
rotate += +10;
var newTransform = 'T'+tx+','+ty+'R'+rotate;

The reason for this, is that you are now controlling precisely the values, and its not really prone to errors (from the lib or misunderstanding about matrices). If you look at your matrix values you display, you will note there are subtle rounding differences, plus with complex matrix calculations, the values aren't quite what we expect and don't always split in a nice easy way that makes sense.
So if this is the main example, the first bit of code will probably suffice. If you are doing more complex transformations, I would think about controlling the values yourself and building up the transform string like the latter example.


Motul RBF660 is one of the top selling race brake fluids on the world market. It is a 100% synthetic Glycol-based formulation that can be used for street, track day or race applications. It offers a good balance between price and performance in terms of a race brake fluid. With very high boiling points (Dry: 325 deg C, Wet: 204 deg C) this fluid is a significant step up in terms of heat range when compared to Motul DOT 5.1. Motul RBF660 does not have the same ultimate service life as the Endless RF-650 under extreme race conditions and will need to be changed more frequently but it is considerably more cost effective. A solid choice for enthusiasts or race teams looking for a more cost effective race brake fluid than Endless RF650. Motul RBF660 can be used in any car that specifies glycol based DOT 3 or 4 brake fluids in the owners manual (i.e. most production cars sold on the work market over the past 3 decades).
Dry boiling point: 325 deg C.
Wet boiling point: 204 deg C.
Ideal for use in high-performance street, track day and race applications.
Meets and exceeds standards: FMVSS 116 (DOT 4); SAE J1703.
Great product, a must have for any car going on track.
Thanks for the quick turn around time.
Designed to resist brake fade at high temperatures.
With the entire brake system installed, it cant be faulted.

Ramirez will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Ramirez was originally scheduled to start Friday's game, but Thursday's postponement prompted the Orioles to push their starting rotation back by a day. David Hess will now get the ball Friday, with Ramirez and Dylan Bundy covering the twin bill. The 24-year-old Ramirez owns a 6.07 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 58:33 K:BB through 16 appearances (11 starts) with the big club this season.

I apologize for the seven-month hiatus from this blog. I ceased posting with the conclusion of my grant activities in July. I have since realized that this blog is about more than my travels and experiences in the summer of 2012. Those experiences have set new courses on which I now travel.
Now I will very briefly fill in the blanks in my artistic endeavours in the past seven months.
In late July, I returned from New York working with Tom Clark. On my way home, I attended the Sacred Music Institute at the Antiochian Village in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
Upon my return home, I resumed my masters of education program through Indiana Wesleyan University.
I began painting several new icons, experimenting with new and different styles of painting: on canvas, on a easel, while standing.
In mid-August, I returned to teaching elementary art.
In September and October, I worked on the icon of Christ Anepson (or Unsleeping).
In October and November, I painted angels to surround Christ Pantokrator.
In December, friends and I painted the ceiling of our church a deep blue and installed the angels and Anepson.
Over the Christmas holiday, my wife and I visited family on the east coast, where I was able to again visit Archangel Michael to see Tom's completed iconography.
In January, we painted stars on the ceiling at church.
In early February, I attended my first Sacred Harp sing with several friends.
Currently, I am finishing a large icon of the Virgin Mary "Platytera ton Ouranon" or "More Spacious than the Heavens" for the east wall of our church above the altar.
Over the next several posts, I intend to write in depth on each of these projects (including photos), and then continue to update this blog according to present activities.
Thanks for resuming. All us out here missed it!
Hi, Brian! Do the stars on the church ceiling symbolize something? or is it just that God is God of all the universe and this reminds us that He is in charge of all the stars and planets everywhere?
And why does the moon have a face?

Man shot in Detroit home, but won't talk to police
James David Dickson
Detroit — A 52-year-old man was shot late Wednesday night in a home on Detroit's west side, but refused to cooperate when investigators tried to follow up, police said.
The shooting took place about 11:20 p.m. on the 14800 block of Birwood, said Officer Holly Lance, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman. That's south of Fenkell and west of Wyoming.
The victim was shot, and then medics transported him to a hospital, where he's listed in serious condition.
The victim told police he didn't know the shooter and refused to elaborate on the circumstances of the shooting, police said.


Cincinnati Children's Hospital is conducting a study about the speech, language and swallowing problems in infants and children with Pompe disease. The study involves a survey which can be completed online that asks a variety of questions about the speech, language and swallowing function of the child with Pompe disease.
This study is being conducted by a team of Geneticists, a Genetic Counselor, a Speech-Language Pathologist and a Genetic Counseling Graduate Student at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Victoria Arbiter: The sacrifices Prince Philip made to embrace royal life
By Victoria Arbiter| 7 months ago
Earlier this week, Prince Philip turned 98. NINETY-EIGHT!
Some might argue we'd all live to such a ripe old age were we to dwell in castles and palaces and have our every need catered to, but in looking at recent generations, the Queen's father died at 56, George V passed away at the age of 70 and King Edward VII was 68 when he died after suffering several heart attacks.
Prince Philip is currently the oldest-living British royal.
He's also the longest-lived male member of the royal family, the longest-serving consort in British history, and the oldest-living descendent of Queen Victoria.
The Duke claimed the title on April 19, breaking the record previously set by Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. Alice, the last surviving grandchild of Queen Victoria, was 97 years and 313 days when she died in her sleep on 3 January, 1981.

While Philip likely gives little thought to his longevity, there's one other record he can be proud of. Come November he and the Queen will celebrate their 72nd wedding anniversary, marking the longest royal marriage in British history.
Princess Elizabeth first met Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, her third cousin through Queen Victoria, at the age of eight. She was serving as a bridesmaid at the wedding of her uncle, the Duke of Kent, to Princess Marina at Westminster Abbey. Philip, a first cousin of Marina, was a guest at the service.
Five years later, in July 1939, Elizabeth and her sister Margaret accompanied their parents on a visit to the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. Philip, by then an 18-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed mid-shipman, was charged with keeping the King's daughters entertained while their parents toured the grounds.
LISTEN: 9Honey's The Windsors podcast delves into the life of Prince Philip and his public perception. (Post continues.)
George VI was a cadet at the college in the days before the Great War, and the visit afforded the girls a glimpse into their father's past. It also allowed Lord Louis Mountbatten, Philip's 'Uncle Dickie', a chance to dabble in a little matchmaking between his nephew and the King's eldest daughter.

In 1946, Philip asked George for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. The Princess's parents were reported to have thought their prospective son-in-law "rather unpolished" and they were concerned Elizabeth was too young to marry, but there was no denying her happiness.
The King gave his consent, but only on the condition the news would not be made public until after Elizabeth's 21st birthday, by which time the family would have returned from an official tour to Southern Africa.
On 20 November, 1947, Elizabeth and Philip were married at Westminster Abbey. Prior to the wedding Philip renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles as well as his allegiance to the Greek Crown.

He became a naturalised British citizen and adopted the surname 'Mountbatten' from his maternal grandparents, but still the couple's union was not without controversy.
Foreign-born Philip had no independent wealth to speak of and all of his surviving sisters were married to German noblemen. Due to post-war sensitivity they were not invited to the wedding.
Since his wife's Coronation in 1953, Philip's sacrifices have been plentiful.
He gave up an impressive naval career and was forced to accept that his children would not bear his name. "I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his children. I'm nothing but a bloody amoeba," he once professed.
As he navigated the early years of royal life, Philip maintained his down-to-earth manner. He developed training and rebuilding programs in an effort to modernise elements of the monarchy.
"I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his children." (Getty)
He established a number of schemes, his most successful arguably being the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and took on upwards of 800 charitable organisations. He learned to fly, typed his own speeches and later designed the stained glass window in the chapel at Windsor Castle.
Often characterised by his outspoken style, Philip's approach has perhaps complimented his wife's more reserved nature and many have attributed the Queen's enduring success to her husband's steadfast support and equal devotion to duty.
Philip stepped down from public life in August 2017 after 22,219 royal engagements. Though still open to conducting the odd official appearance, he's enjoying a quieter life after seven decades of public service.
WATCH: A look back at Prince Philip's royal legacy as he marks his 98th birthday. (Post continues.)
As he said to Saga Magazine in 2011: "It's much better to go when you are still capable than wait until people say you're so doddery it's time you went."
During an address to Parliament on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Queen said, "Prince Philip is, I believe, well-known for declining compliments of any kind. But throughout he has been a constant strength and guide."
Philip's life has been a privileged one, but it hasn't always been easy.
The fifth child and only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, he entered the world on a dining room table at the family home on the island of Corfu on 10 June, 1921.
A year later, his uncle, King Constantine I, abdicated the Greek throne. With revolution brewing, the family was forced to flee to Paris aboard a warship sent to collect them by George V.
Prince Philip's childhood was marred by tragedy and upheaval. (Getty)
Philip's family spent the ensuing years living in exile in France, but unbeknownst to the children, Andrew and Alice's marriage was disintegrating. In 1930 his father moved to the French Riviera, all but abandoning the family, and his mother, diagnosed with schizophrenia, was committed to an asylum having suffered a breakdown.
Effectively homeless, Philip was shuffled between relatives in England and boarding schools in England and Scotland. Countess Mountbatten once recalled Philip visiting over Christmas saying, "He signed his name in the visitors' book and gave his address as 'no fixed abode'".
In 1937 Philip's sister, Cecilie, was killed in a plane crash and a few months later his guardian, George Milford Haven, succumbed to cancer. Once asked about his childhood home, Philip replied, "What do you mean a home?"
After miraculously surviving January's car crash, in which his Land Rover rolled over following a collision at Sandringham, some might consider Philip indestructible.
"Philip's devotion to the Queen, his family, the monarchy and indeed the nation is unparalleled." (Tim Graham/Getty Images)
In April 2018 he underwent hip replacement surgery and a month later he walked, unaided, into St. George's Chapel for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding. He continues to indulge his passion for carriage driving, and he oversees the grounds and farmland of the royal estates. By outward appearances, he has the energy of a man half his age.
It is, perhaps, easy to marginalise Prince Philip's contribution simply because he's always there, walking a respectful two steps behind his wife. But his devotion to the Queen, his family, the monarchy and indeed the nation is unparalleled.
In 1997 the Queen and Prince Philip celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. The Queen expressed her deep gratitude to her husband for his service to her and the country saying, "…he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know."
Twenty-two years later the debt of gratitude feels evermore immeasurable.
Happy 98th birthday Prince Philip: Through the years

Blockchain technology was implemented by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who was also the founder of Bitcoin. The paper introduced a new technology which will make transactions publicly recordable, verifiable, and immutable.
A few regions of governance have already trialed blockchain for voting purposes. Japan is already trying the technology on votes for social contribution projects, and Switzerland's trial for blockchain voting was a success. West Virginia State has already developed a blockchain app for voting. Now, South Korea will join the list of regions that are trying to use the new tech for voting.
While South Korea limits the use of cryptocurrency, it supports blockchain technology. Back in late August, Bithumb, a South Korean exchange, re-opened after temporarily shutting down registrations due to a June hack. Due to regulations, many considered South Korea to be a region that restricted the use of cryptocurrencies. In January, the government considered a shutdown of cryptocurrency exchanges, but retail investors pushed back with a petition of 280,000 signatures. In June 2018, South Korea's Supreme Court ruled that Bitcoin is a legally recognizable asset that can be confiscated by the government.
We foresee that other governmental regions will soon be approving Bitcoin for tax payments and court penalties. Other than South Korea's Supreme Court approval of Bitcoin, another example is Ohio state's approval of Bitcoin for taxes. One also needs to consider Bakkt's partnership with Starbucks and Microsoft to start using cryptocurrencies as payment. We believe that governments will soon consider Bitcoin and blockchain technology to be the "gold standard" for tracking international payments.

Woods taking fuller practice swings
Tiger Wood (Getty Images)
PINEHURST, N.C. – Tiger Woods is making progress in his recovery from back surgery and starting to extend his swing, his agent said Tuesday.
Woods already has missed two majors this year while he recovers from a microdiscectomy on his back on March 31. He last played on March 9 at Doral, when he closed with a 78 despite the pain in his lower back. Woods has said he has no idea when he will be healthy enough to return to competition.
A report on Golf Channel's morning show said he was taking full swings at the Medalist Golf Club in South Florida.
"Tiger is progressing like he expected," Mark Steinberg of Excel Sports Management said in an email. "Feeling good each day. As each day passes and he feels that way, he lengthens the swing a bit."
Woods is the tournament host next week for the Quicken Loans National at Congressional. It is not expected that he will play. The deadline to enter is Friday. This is the first year of title sponsorship for the Detroit-based company.
The next major is the British Open on July 17-20 at Royal Liverpool, where Woods won in 2006.
The last time Woods missed two majors in one year because of injuries was in 2011, when he sat out the U.S. Open and British Open to let his leg fully recover. That year, he returned at Bridgestone Invitational in early August, a World Golf Championship that has no cut.
In a promotional day for Quicken Loans last month, Woods said he was chipping and putting in a way that did not require rotation in his back. That was four weeks ago.
He also did not know how much time it would take for him to be ready for a tournament once he could take full swings with no pain.
"The more time you give me, I think the better I'll be," he said. "The great thing about what I've done so far and all my other previous surgeries is that I worked on my short game. Once I start expanding from there and start competing and playing, if I start spraying it all over the lot and not hitting it that great, at least my short game is solid. That's one of the positives to it."
