'The Lover's Dictionary': Definitions For Heartbreak
By Heller McAlpin
David Levithan, an editorial director at Scholastic Books and a popular author of young adult fiction (including an unusually un-fraught novel about gay adolescents, Boy Meets Boy), brings ingenuity and a wry edge to his first adult novel. The Lover's Dictionary cleverly uses about 200 unorthodox word definitions, from aberrant to zenith, to tell the story of a couple who meet online, move in together and struggle to weather infidelity.
The cheated-upon steadier mate, who narrates, is male, but it's deliberately unclear whether his poorly behaved lover, who comes from a less happy home and drinks, flirts and buys shoes to excess, is male or female. Amazingly, it doesn't really matter. Also left open to interpretation is whether the relationship endures -- an uncertainty some readers may find intriguing, others frustrating.
Although its originality is incontestable, The Lover's Dictionary does bring to mind some antecedents, including Alain de Botton's 1993 novel On Love, which, via numbered sections under chapter headings such as "Romantic Fatalism," "Idealism" and "Suicide," relays the ups and downs of a romance begun on an airplane. It also evokes Ambrose Bierce's sardonic but non-narrative 1911 The Devil's Dictionary, another glossary packed with personality and sharp opinions that deviate from standard definitions. For the record, the cynical Bierce defines "love," in part, as "the folly of thinking much of another before one knows anything of oneself," or, alternately, "a temporary insanity curable by marriage."
Levithan's lexicon seems to invite casual browsing through its brief entries, each sprawled on a king-size mattress of a page all to itself. But while he revels in modern nonlinear storytelling, Levithan has made an elaborate bed that requires assembling the various pillows and shams in a specific order, proceeding very deliberately from brash ("I loved the notion that the night was mine to spend, and I immediately decided to spend it on you") to breach ("I didn't want to know who he was, or what you did, or that it didn't mean anything"). Details of the narrator's pained reaction to his lover's betrayal are doled out and amplified in succeeding entries, such as: "leery, adj. Those first few weeks, after you told me, I wasn't sure we were going to make it. ... Finally, I said, 'It's over' "; and "persevere, v. You started to cry, and I quickly said, 'No -- I mean this part is over. We have to get to the next part.' "
Among the novel's pleasures are micro-stories that speak volumes, reminiscent of Lydia Davis' work. Two, in their entirety, read: "antsy, adj. I swore I would never take you to the opera again," and, "kerfuffle, n. From now on, you are only allowed one drink at any of my office parties. One. Preferably a beer."
There's plenty of reflection, not just on the relationship but on the attempt to distill and describe such complex feeling, including this: "Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough." That, by the way, is Levithan's definition of ineffable.

This is not a Champagne and sparkling wine blog, although if you've been scrolling through recent posts you could be forgiven for thinking that it is. It's just I've been quite taken by fizz of late. So I was pleased to be able to try this South African sparkling wine recently, which is creating quite a stir in its home country, but which hasn't yet made its way here to the UK (although some is on its way with Gudfish). it's from Le Lude in Franschhoek, and it is made by Paul Gerber, a sparkling wine specialist.
While Le Lude is based in Franschhoek, the grapes are sourced from a range of regions, many of which are cooler climate. This wine, based on the 2012 vintage, is the first release and I was really impressed.
No need to apologize for writing about fizz Jamie Goode, it's a category that needs more attention from wine writers and bloggers. Especially I think outside of the polar opposites of luxury Champagne and plonk supermarket Prosecco. Keep up the good work, Jamie.
I tasted Le Lude last month on a visit to Franschhoek. I believe it is the best MCC I have tasted in South Africa, more French in character than South African. The tasting room is beautiful too!

Samsung announced industry's first 30nm DDR3 memory chips, mass production is slated for the second half of this year.
"Our accelerated development of next generation 30nm-class DRAM should keep us in the most competitive position in the memory market," said Soo-In Cho, president, Memory Division, Samsung Electronics.
The 30nm-class process when applied to DDR3 mass production raises productivity by 60 percent over 40nm-class DDR3. This will result in a doubling of production cost-efficiency compared to DRAM produced using 50nm to 60nm-class technology.
The 30nm-class 2Gb, Green DRAM reduces power consumption by up to 30 percent over 50nm-class DRAM. A 4-Gigabyte (GB), 30nm module when used in a new-generation notebook will consume only three watts per hour, which is just three percent of the total power usage of a notebook.
The new DDR3 will be used in a broader range of products, from servers to notebooks, desktops, and future versions of netbooks and mobile devices.

Autotalks Raises $10M in Funding
Published on November 30, 2021 November 30, 2021 By FinSMEs
Autotalks, a Kfar-Netter, Israel-based V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication solutions provider, raised $10m in funding.
Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT), a subsidiary of Foxconn (Hon Hai Technology Group), a large electronics manufacturer, invested in Autotalks following strategic collaboration agreement.
The two companies will partner to accelerate V2X penetration across automotive and micro-mobility segments, leveraging Autotalks' automotive V2X technology, and its recently launched ZooZ micro-mobility platform. The joint micro-mobility activity will start this year, and the automotive activity will start early next year.
Led by Hagai Zyss, CEO, Autotalks is a V2X chipset market leader, which helps reduce collisions on roadways and improve mobility with its automotive qualified chipsets. The company's chipsets offer an advanced, secure and high performing global V2X communication solution designed for autonomous vehicles. Its advanced technology, to be mass deployed in the coming years, complements the information coming from other sensors, specifically in non-line-of-sight scenarios, rough weather, or poor lighting conditions. It improves overall road safety, effectively coordinating vehicles, self-driving cars, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
V2X (Vehicle to Everything) allows direct communication between vehicles and all other road users, without using the cellular network. Each unit transmits ten times per second its location, speed, and heading. Each unit receives messages from other road users, analyzes those locally, and detects a risk if exists. Since the safety is based on wireless communication, it operates even when there is no line-of-sight. The communication is range is more than 300 meter in cities and more than 1 kilometer on highways.

Q: Number to character? I have created a function that is called Gift and an Admin can type a username and if the username is found in the 2d array,then a gift will be added to the total amount of the user.
The 2d array: char pin[50][7][100];
Each row contains a single user and each column contains his info like name, surname etc.
Now,the total amount of each user is located to pin[i][4]
The gift is calculated based on the length of the username.Each character of the username is 10$.For example if the username is Mary the gift would be 40$.
I have managed to calculate the amount of gift but I do not know how can I replace the initial amount(which is 0 by default) with the gift.Here is the function:
void Gift()
{
    printf("Enter the username of the user you want to gift: \n");
    scanf("%s", &key3);

    for (i = 0; i < 50; i++)
    {
        for (j = 5; j < 6; j++)
        {
            if (strcmp(pin[i][5], key3) == 0)
            {
                for (i = 0; key3[i] != '\0'; ++i) ;
                gift = 10 * i;

            }
        }
    }
}

A: Here goes
for (j = 5; j < 6; j++)
        {
            if (strcmp(pin[i][5], key3) == 0)
            {
                for (i = 0; key3[i] != '\0'; ++i) ;
                gift = 10 * i;

            }
        }

*

*j can only be 5 in the loop (and it is not even used!)

*use strlen foir the other loop

*I assume gift is a character array of a suitable length

So the code can be
        if (strcmp(pin[i][5], key3) == 0)
        {
            sprintf(gift, "%d",  10 * strlen(keys[i]));
        }

The BMI for 10-year-olds hasn't changed, but modern children are physically weaker than children of the same age a decade ago.
British 10-year-olds are physically weaker than they were 10 years ago, a study published in the child health journal Acta Paediatrica has found.
The strength of 315 Essex children, age 10, was studied in 2008 and compared to 309 children who were 10 in 1998. While the kids has the same BMI, they were weaker and not as muscular.
Between 1998 and 2008, the number of sit-ups 10-year-olds could do dropped 27%, arm strength declined 6% and grip strength fell 7%. In the 'class of 2008', one in 10 children couldn't hold their own weight when hanging from bars, which is double the 1998 figure.
So what's the point of all these stats? The study authors want ministers to stop relying on the National Child Measurement Programme so much (this is the programme that sees primary school kids' BMI measured), and bring fitness testing in to all schools. They aren't the first to voice the idea – Sir Liam Donaldson called for this last year, when he was the Chief Medical Officer, reports the Telegraph.
Parents of obese children – guilty of child neglect?


text: A set of four volumes of studies by Oleg Grabar that bring together more than eighty articles, studies and essays, work spanning half a century. Reflecting the many incidents of a long academic life, these volumes illustrate one scholar's attempt at making order and sense of 1400 years of artistic growth. They deal with architecture, painting, objects, iconography, theories of art, aesthetics and ornament, and they seek to integrate our knowledge of Islamic art with Islamic culture and history as well as with the global concerns of the history of art. In addition to the articles selected, each volume contains an introduction which describes the context in which Grabar's scholarship developed and the people who directed and mentored his efforts.

Brilliant and devastating and incredibly beautiful.
A high-octane paranoia deranges a writer and fuels a dangerous plan to return home to El Salvador at the tail end of its long civil war.
High-octane paranoia deranges a writer and fuels a dangerous plan to return home at the tail end of El Salvador's long civil war.
Is the plan a dream or a nightmare?
Is he courageous, foolhardy, or just plain dumb?
Is the bubbling brew of horrors and threats actual or imagined?
After he seeks relief for liver pain through hypnosis (while drinking more than ever, despite the treatments), his few impulse-control mechanisms rapidly dissolve, and reality only rarely intrudes on his cogitations. Harebrained murder plots, half-mad arguments, hysterical rants: the narrative escalates at a maniacal pace, infused with Horacio Castellanos Moya's uniquely outlandish and acerbic sense of humor.
A welcome, eye-opening addition to this new literature of the Latin American nightmare.

Changing futures: how you've helped Syrian refugee children
Changing futures:
how you've helped Syrian refugee children
Our appeal to you was simple: you can help refugee children today. Your response was life-changing. And we'd like to say thank you for your incredible support.
When we told you about Gabi and Maher, we weren't just sharing their story. We were sharing a story that could be told about thousands of Syrian refugee children. A story of lives uprooted, of fear. One of losing a home, friends, and tragically, formational school years.
Gabi and Maher are half-brothers from Homs in Syria. We met them last year outside Beirut in Lebanon, where they had been living for seven years. Home for them was a tent. Their true home, the one that war forced them to flee from, was some 90 miles away. Gabi was ten when we met him. Maher was 11. Just confident young boys, both smiling as they sat at the back of a classroom at an education centre that you help support through your giving to BMS World Mission. Being in a classroom brought some sense of stability back into their lives. But there are so many other Syrian refugee children who are missing out on learning. Which is why we asked for your help.
We'd love you to show the video above in your church and share it with your small group. Just hit the button below to download it.
Download the video here
Thanks to you, Syrian refugee children like Gabi and Maher will be able to return to the classroom.
You gave an incredible £44,000 to the appeal to help us support the education centre that inspires and cares for Gabi and Maher. Your generous gifts have helped increase its capacity from 75 students to 120. These young people are now receiving an education. They're making friends. Laughing together. Your donations are also helping children to get to the centre, and to buy learning materials, meet running costs and pay for teachers to receive more training. By giving to the appeal, you've made a very real difference to the lives of children like Gabi and Maher, and we can't thank you enough.
Through a few kids, you are changing the hope of a whole nation
The work you're supporting in Lebanon is a true blessing, and it will leave a legacy. It's beautiful, and it's blessed by God.
"I've seen lives changed and saved," says Sakiba, programme co-ordinator at the centre. "Through a few kids, you are changing the hope of a whole nation, of a whole country that was destined to be broken, and for evil to overcome it. But now, that is not going to happen because God has planted his seed in the hearts of these children."
Maher's really enjoying the chance to have maths lessons again!
If you ever feel you can't make a difference in a situation like Syria, we want to share with you the words of Gabi and Maher. We asked them what they'd like to say to you, the people who are showing them God's love, along with everyone at the education centre. Their response was identical, and heartfelt.
"Thank you for helping us."

For someone who is psychologically invested in the future of his nation; despite a somewhat pretentious world repeatedly stressing on the ill-effects of so-called "jingoism"; and media commentators cooking up daily excuses to undermine national identity; the history of the Indian republic is a roller-coaster ride much like the long narrative of an ancient civilization. Public memory is short; something that is top-of-mind today seems like a shadow only a decade later.
Atal"ji"; a Bharat Ratna is currently incapacitated both physically and mentally. His long innings in public life; poetic nature, witty repartee and thoughtful oratory were appreciated across the Indian political spectrum. Unlike our present prime minister; who draws extreme adulation or revulsion; Vajpayee was a generally liked "middle-0f-the road" politician.
Nag informs that Jawaharlal Nehru was subjected to Vajpayee's critiques; but was very fond of this fiery orator from Gwalior; who came to Delhi in 1950; a mere three years after independence. Unlike the general lack of civility in public discourse and the instant reactions of social media; Vajpayee was of a more genteel mindset; a wily old man; but appealing nevertheless.
The internal dynamics of the RSS and the Jana Sangh; the formation of the BJP; and Vajpayee's electoral fortunes make for engaging reading. The writer reveals that M.S Golwalkar; the first sarsanghachalak was instrumental in promoting "cultural nationalism"; was a semi-mystical recluse; not very interested in the trappings of power. Core governance with development is an agenda most people aspire for; the author seems to suggest that Vajpayee provided this in ample measure during his tenure as the first BJP Prime Minister.
Many people; including this writer are sick of politicians making a mockery of democracy; indulging in personal turf wars; and ego struggles. Vajpayee's statements here are illustrative; "The greatest curse, not merely of Indian politics but of national life as a whole, is the general incapacity to work together. Let's learn to unite, instead of dividing to create harmony where disharmony exists and to keep our self-interest and ego in leash". Atal also alluded to how centre-state relations in the country had become akin to a saas-bahu relationship.
Although the book stops short of a hagiography; Atal's power dynamic; his relations with people such as Balraj Madhok, L.K Advani, Jaswant Singh; K.S Sudarshan, Govindacharya and his personal life are described in some detail. A mild-mannered leader ranks higher in public perception than a so-called "dictatorial" leader; but everything is subjected to the relativity of time; and overall results.
Vajpayee was also instrumental in building a momentum for economic liberalization; and laid the groundwork for "India Shining"; an economic base which helped his arch-rivals when they managed to crawl back into power in 2004.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee's politics stem from a conciliatory; all-encompassing Indian world view; pluralism which can sometimes not feel right in a world that is a sordidly brutal power struggle. As a nation; positive icons are needed in times of great upheaval. A.B Vajpayee; A.P.J Kalam seem to inspire faith in an age of over-the-top histrionics and the increasingly dark spectre of votebank politics. Motivation can indeed bring about change; and this sincere citizen earnestly hopes that there is a new dawn.
The biggest such move will be by OneWeb, the Softbank-funded satellite venture which has India's Bharti as a partner. It will launch 648 small satellites to provide high-speed internet to remotest corners of the world.
Planet Labs, which acquired the satellite infrastructure of Google, on Wednesday used for a second time the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket to hurl 88 micro satellites or Doves into space.
ISRO sees an immense opportunity for two reasons – first, there is a global shortage of launchers for small satellite missions; and second, there is a sudden rush of private industry in the US and Europe to send hundreds of satellites to space for various needs. These needs include weather tracking, navigation on the sea where there is little connectivity so far, and providing high-speed internet to remotest parts of the world.
"Whenever there is a large production of satellites, there will also be requirement for sub systems. There are many industries that can produce for global companies," A S Kiran Kumar, chairman of (Isro), had said in an interview last year.
So far, Isro's PSLV rocket has launched 225 satellites, of which 179 are for foreign customers.
Rockets from players like SpaceX, BlueOrigin, Rocket Lab and Firefly Systems, are yet to compete on a large scale. Also, Isro, with private players in India taking up satellite building, wants to position the country as a hub where global firms can share design, build it in India and launch it on an Indian rocket.
It has already contracted a consortium of small firms led by Alpha Design, a Bengaluru aerospace firm, to build two of its Navic navigation satellite, transferring the technology knowhow to build and assemble satellites according to design. It also has shared the knowhow for ground equipment that captures satellite data, and processe them for specific local applications.
"We want to enable the Indian space ecosystem. The demand for electronics in space industry is growing. There are opportunities for niche companies in space," says Kumar. "Some of the technology is already with the private companies".
Lionel Messi scored a magical hat-trick in 19 minutes as Argentina cruised into the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals with a 5-0 rout of Panama on Friday.
Messi had been forced to delay his debut in the tournament after a slow recovery from a lower back injury, with Argentina coach Gerardo Martino surprisingly naming him amongst the substitutes once more.
But Messi wasted no time in stamping his genius on the tournament after coming on in the 61st minute to replace Augusto Fernandez with Argentina leading the Group D game 1-0.
An electrifying cameo from the Barcelona superstar began with his first goal of the tournament on 68 minutes, finishing with aplomb after Gonzalo Higuain's shot bounced off a Panamanian defender into his path.
But there was no question of luck with his second, with Messi curling a wonderful free-kick into the top corner to bring the Soldier Field crowd to its feet in the 78th minute.
With Panama's heads down, Messi then duly completed his quick-fire hat-trick – skipping clear of a marker inside the penalty area to finish emphatically for 4-0.
There was still time for Messi to have a hand in Argentina's fifth goal of the evening, providing a sublime pass in the build-up to Sergio Aguero's close range headed effort in the 90th minute.
Aguero's Manchester City team-mate Nicolas Otamendi had opened the scoring for Argentina in the seventh minute, heading home an Angel Di Maria free-kick from close range.
The victory sees Argentina, convincing 2-1 winners over Chile in their opening game, guaranteed a spot in the last eight with one group game remaining.
The only blemish on the evening was an injury to Angel Di Maria, who limped off in the first half to extend his miserable record of injuries in major tournaments.
The Paris Saint-Germain winger was injured in the 2014 World Cup, missing the final, and was also injured during last year's Copa America in Chile.
Argentina are now firmly on course to top Group D, with only one game against pointless Bolivia to come.
Friday's win marked a dazzling return to the spotlight for Messi, who is determined to help lead Argentina to their first major international tournament victory for 23 years.
Messi, a veteran of Argentina's agonizing defeats in the 2014 World Cup final and 2015 Copa America final, had arrived in the United States nursing a back injury sustained during a friendly victory against Honduras last month.
He was late joining up with the squad after returning to Spain to give evidence in his tax fraud trial.
On Thursday he had faced a fresh round of criticism from Argentina great Diego Maradona, who accused Messi of lacking "the personality to be a leader" during remarks to journalists in Paris on the eve of Euro 2016.
But 24 hours later, Messi crafted the best possible response on the pitch at Chicago, lighting up the tournament with a hat-trick performance that firmly establishes Argentina as the team to beat.

U.S. politicians condemned Pfizer Inc's deal with Allergan Plc as a tax dodge on Monday, bringing another round of hand-wringing in Washington over the corporate tax code, though legislative action before 2017 is unlikely.
The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in the November 2016 election said she will propose steps to prevent more inversions, but she did not provide details. "We cannot delay in cracking down on inversions that erode our tax base," said the ex-U.S. secretary of state and former New York senator in a statement.
Pfizer is doing the largest inversion deal of all time. In a $160-billion transaction, it plans to move its tax address from the United States to Ireland, if only on paper, by buying and merging into Allergan, a smaller, Dublin-based competitor.
The combined company will be called Pfizer and will be run by Pfizer's CEO, with executive management staying in New York and extensive operations across the United States, but it will no longer be taxed as a U.S. company.
More than 50 similar deals have been done over three decades by well-known companies such as Medtronic Plc, Fruit of the Loom and Ingersoll-Rand Plc. Congressional researchers have estimated inversions, left unchecked, will cost the U.S. Treasury nearly $20 billion in the next 10 years.
At least 10 people were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds after gunfire erupted inside the Bunny Friend Park in the Upper Ninth Ward on Sunday night, New Orleans Police Department officials said.
NOPD spokesman Tyler Gamble confirmed 16 were injured at the park. He could not confirm, however, whether all of those injured received gunshot wounds.
Officers were dispatched to the park to shut the gathering down, Harrison said. "They were a block away when they heard gunshots and were flagged down" from there. EMS appeared on the scene soon after, he said.
One witness, a nurse who declined to be named citing safety concerns, said the shooting began at around 6 p.m. and continued for three to four minutes. "It was like New Year's Eve all over again," she said.
Multiple witnesses said they saw a man with a silver-colored machine gun fleeing the scene toward Louisa Avenue. They said the gunfire continued inside the park as the man ran away.
After the shooting, witnesses described several gunshot victims lying in the middle of Gallier Street and Desire Street as EMS responders administered to them.
Gunmen have stormed a luxury hotel in Mali and taken around 170 people hostage.
Shooters have attacked a Radisson Blu hotel in the centre of the country's capital, Bamako.
The Rezidor Hotel Group confirmed that 170 people have been taken hostage by the attackers.
'As per our information, two persons have locked in 140 guests and 30 employees,' a statement said.
Automatic weapon fire could be heard from outside the 190-room hotel, according to reports.
'Very early in the morning there was gunfire. Apparently it's an attempt to take hostages,' a security source said.
Witnesses at the scene said attackers arrived in a diplomatic vehicle, and are now 'walking quietly' around seven stories of the hotel.
The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, has been identified as one of those killed in a raid in Saint Denis, the Paris prosecutor says.
His body was found riddled with bullets and shrapnel in an apartment in the northern Paris suburb on Wednesday.
The Belgian national, 27, was identified from his fingerprints.
Friday's gun and suicide bomb attacks in the French capital left 129 people dead and hundreds injured.
Eight people were arrested and at least two killed in the raid on the property in Saint Denis.
Heavily armed police stormed the building after a tip-off that Abaaoud was in Paris.
A woman at the flat – reported in French media to be Abaaoud's cousin – blew herself up during the raid.
Investigators are still looking for Salah Abdeslam, who is believed to have travelled to Belgium after the attacks on Friday night.
He was high on French and Belgian wanted lists and yet managed to travel from Syria to the heart of Paris without ever leaving a trace.
Ilayathalapathy Vijay who is currently shooting for Vijay59 in Goa has reportedly signed his next.
According to sources, the Puli actor has signed a film with Bharathan who has worked on films like Veeram. Bharathan has been a dialogue writer and has also directed some small films like Adithi. It looks like Vijay was really happy with the story that was narrated to him.
The music directors they are talking to are Yuvan, Anirudh and Santhosh Narayan. Depending on the availability one person will be brought onboard.? Madhi is said to be the cameraman and the editor would be KL Praveen.
The new trailer for Angelina Jolie Pitt and Brad Pitt's marriage drama By the Sea starts off on a quiet note before taking a violent turn. The on and off-screen couple kick, push, scream and cry in the teaser released by Universal Pictures on Friday.
Written, directed and produced by Jolie Pitt, the film, set in the 1970s, follows an American writer (Pitt) and his wife (Jolie Pitt), who are vacationing at a French seaside resort as their marriage is crumbling. When they're not fighting like cats and dogs, the two drown their sorrows.
The film also stars Melanie Laurent, Niels Arestrup, Melvil Poupaud and Richard Bohringer. By the Sea world premieres and opens the AFI Fest on November 5, and hits theatres on November 13.

Omaha is for Everyone, Especially Creatives
It's middle America, and Omaha is a creative oasis. Bordered by the Missouri River and celebrated for its signature "We Don't Coast. We Create." attitude, Omaha is exploding with imaginative entertainment and artistic options.
From Hot Shops Art Center (home to more than 80 artists' studios - the largest collective of its kind) to Omaha Fashion Week (the nation's fifth largest fashion event), Omaha is the 2018 No. 6 (medium-sized) Most Vibrant Arts Community in America, according to SMU DataArts.
This robust community of nearly 1 million is also a millennial magnet, a top destination for talented individuals hoping to get their start, and Yahoo Finance's No. 2 city millennials should consider for optimal careers.
Those career opportunities don't get any better than in the Omaha arts scene, where the Holland Performing Arts Center is heralded for its stellar acoustics, Joslyn Art Museum offers free admission (and views of masterwork art) and the region's only chapter of the global CreativeMornings is thriving.
Omaha is for everyone, and surrealist poet Frank O'Neal, an Omaha resident, believes he knows why, "At its core, the viability of a community is reflective of its creative community," he says.
O'Neal is not alone. Omaha-based singer/songwriter Edem Garro points out, "I believe most artists here will tell you that Omaha is unique. Collaboration is just a person away, and there is always someone you can learn from."
Case in point: World-renowned sculptors Jun Kaneko and Matthew Placzek herald from Omaha, while the region ranks No. 7 in SmartAsset's Top 10 Cities for Creatives. Thanks to abundant opportunities, Omaha is also the No. 9 best city for "starving artists."
About Greater Omaha
Greater Omaha is a No. 1 ranked up-and-coming-tech hotspot and Time magazine's 2017 No. 3 Most Up-and-Coming City in America. Recognized for its "We Don't Coast" attitude, and named America's No. 2 Best Small City, Greater Omaha is home to more than 30 communities and nearly 1 million people.

Pollak on Uniquely Israeli Stupidity
By David Bernstein on May 31, 2010 5:20 pm in Israel
Noah Pollak:
Those who sent an elite unit into a hostile confrontation armed with toy weapons made an incredibly stupid decision. And a uniquely Israeli one. In recent memory, Israeli military action has been violent but not decisive, bloody enough to provoke the outrage and condemnation of the world (at this point, a stubbed toe will do), but not enough to actually change facts on the ground (the Hamas and Hezbollah wars being prime examples). These halfhearted wars and battles have earned Israel demerits in world opinion without enough to show in improved strategic position.
I think Israel has been trying to avoid truly decisive, and very bloody, military action in the hope that by containing the situation, time will be on its side, and the strategic situation will change for the better, e.g., the Iranian mullahcracy will be overthrown (seemed plausible last year), the Lebanese government will get the strength to kick out Hezbollah (seemed plausible a few years back), Hamas will collapse, etc. So far, not so good, and the strategic situation has seriously deteriorated in at least two ways: Turkey has gone from an ally to a virtual enemy, and Hezbollah has rearmed itself in Lebanon with much better missiles than it had previously. Actually, three ways: instead of having a clear friend in the White House, Israel has a lukewarm ally.
UPDATE: Further evidence of unique stupidity–IDF: We didn't sabotage Gaza aid ship in bid to avoid humanitarian crisis. Senior officer hints the IDF disabled the engines of the other five ships in the Gaza aid flotilla, says Marmara was too large and could have been stuck at sea for days.
FURTHER UPDATE: The whole Gaza blockade is an example of this stupidity. Israel claims to be in a state of war with Gaza. But for "humanitarian reasons", it lets in many tons of supplies every week, provides Gaza with electricity, allows Gaza residents to get medical treatment in Israel, and turns a largely blind eye to smuggling via the Egyptian border. In other words, the blockade lowers the Gazan's standard of living and causes international outrage, but doesn't actually put sufficient pressure on the Gazans to cause them to want to either overthrow their government or surrender. And since Hamas controls the smuggling trade, the blockade enriches the government. I'm not saying Israel should enforce a true blockade, including the cutoff of electricity. I am saying that there's something to be said for either using enough force to accomplish your objective, or not using force at all.

AME is Coming Up Soon!
As we come to the end of the semester things can become hectic and stressful so it is important to take a deep breath, find a healthy way to relieve stress, and push on through. The beautiful spring weather makes it hard for me to stay indoors and study so I have been trying to sit outside and study as much as I can so I can be enjoying the sunshine. It is especially vital to eat healthy during times of high stress because your immune system can become impaired from high levels of stress. Drink plenty of water, try to get a good amount of sleep, and don't forget your fruits and veggies!
There is a good article on the eatright.org page called, "8 Ways to Beat the Freshman 15" that has practice tips for all college students that I think is helpful during the stressful end of the semester! I saw another article called, "4 Types of Foods to Help Boost Your Memory" that gives some examples of different foods that are good for brain function and memory, which will especially be very helpful for finals week! I will take all the brain boosting benefits that I can get!
We also need to remember how blessed we are to major in something that we are interested in and passionate about. It will all be so worth it in the end and we learn so much each step of the way. I am so proud of you guys and all of your hard work! Let's continue to do good things!
April is National Preceptor Month! Take a few minutes out of your day and thank your preceptors for all they have done and are doing for you!
The Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Meeting and Exhibits is THIS month and it is not too late to come! You can still register at the door. It is April 25-26th at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. This is a great way to network and meet new people and learn from some incredible speakers. There will also be refreshments and a special time for all of the students to interact. I will be speaking to the students about my time as the ArAND Student Liaison and letting you all know how you can apply to be the next Student Liaison! I look forward to seeing you all there!
Happy National Nutrition Month and almost Spring Break!
Things have been very busy around here! A fellow nutrition student friend of mine and I were guest speakers at the local Jr. High School where we taught about MyPlate and food labels. I love teaching kiddos about nutrition and the importance of being healthy and active! It is always fun to get creative and come up with a fun and interactive lesson. We used some of the resources that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has for their members. Another bonus for being a student member of the Academy! They have so many resources and materials.
We also went with a big group of students from UCA to the Arkansas State Capitol in celebration of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day. We got our picture taken with the governor and the proclamation that he signed regarding National Nutrition Month and RDN Day. There was such a great turnout of dietitians from Arkansas! It was fun to visit with everyone. Have you all done anything fun to celebrate National Nutrition Month?
There is a great opportunity for student members of the Academy to be featured in a newsletter! Stephanie Bassett said they are looking to feature students in each of their quarterly weight management newsletters. If you are interested, please contact Stephanie Bassett at stephanie.bassett2@gmail.com. I really encourage you guys to get involved with this! It would look really good on internship applications and is good way to get your name out there and network!
Don't forget about the ArAND Annual Meeting and Exhibits at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock on April 25th-26th, 2019. To register please go to, https://arkansaseatright2016.sitewrench.com/annual-meetings-and-exhibits. See you all there!
We are finished applying to dietetic internships and have completed everything on DICAS. It feels so good!! Now we just have to finish the semester on a strong note and enjoy the last few months of undergraduate. I encourage you all to continue volunteering and gaining more experience in the field. Now is also a wonderful time to be checking out the www.eatright.org page and reading the neat articles on there. It is fun to see what other people are doing and makes me excited to think about the future and how I could help.
Hope you all enjoyed Valentine's Day! I absolutely love celebrating all of the seasons and holidays. My roommates and I put little heart decorations around our house, the Student Dietetic Association at UCA made Valentine's Day cards for the kids at AR Children's Hospital, and I went to a few different "Galentine's" celebrations with my friends. It was a great week!
One of my favorite articles from www.eatright.org this year is the one called "9 Candy Free Ideas for Valentine's Day Classroom Parties." It has wonderful ideas on fun Valentine's Day goodies that are good for you! I used some of these cute ideas this year and I am planning on continuing to use them for the years to come! You guys should check it out. They have practical and cute ideas that are easy to implement.
I also want to give you guys a heads up on some fun things that are around the corner. March 13th is Registered Dietitian Day and we are going to celebrate and promote awareness of the importance of our jobs at the Arkansas State Capitol. Check with your local DPD Director to see if you can get a group together to come.
April 25th-26th is another date you all need to write down. It is the Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Meeting and Exhibits located at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. For more information and to register, go to the "member center" then to "annual meeting and exhibits" on the ArAND website.
Hope you all enjoyed your break. This was my last Christmas break as an undergrad student and I really enjoyed it. I got caught up with a lot of friends and family back home, ate lots of yummy food, and worked on my applications for dietetic internships. I cannot believe it is almost time to hit "submit" on DICAS. Good luck to all of you who are finishing up tweaking your applications! We are almost there!
I also cannot believe that it is already 2019. Have you all made any New Year resolutions? Entering a new year is a great time to reflect and make goals but many times people set themselves up for failure with their resolutions, I know I have! We like to make big goals for the New Year and often times we set too many of them at one time. Don't get me wrong, New Year resolutions can be a great thing but we need to set ourselves up for success. We need to set SMART goals and plan out how we are going to accomplish our resolutions. The acronym "SMART" stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time bound. When making SMART goals it always helps me to write everything out on paper. It is also is helpful to have an accountability partner!
As my friends and family start to make goals about health, I send them here 10 Reasons to Visit an RDN. This is a great article from AND that will help clarify the importance of seeing an RDN and reinforces why we are working so hard now!
Hope you guys have a great start to this semester!
We all have so much to be thankful for and this is the perfect time of the year to reflect and to share why we are thankful with others. What are you thankful for? I encourage you to express your thankfulness...every day! A quick, "thank you for always being there for me," "thank you for taking out the trash," "thank you for driving me to work…" whatever it is, could be what a friend or family member needs to hear in order to feel appreciated. Take note of the little things!
The Thanksgiving season is always a fun time to visit with friends and family, relax, catch up on sleep, maybe watch some football, and eat yummy food! All of the great food is part of the fun during the holidays, but it can be difficult to keep from overindulging. The turkey is not the only thing that is "stuffed" at Thanksgiving. I usually end up feeling pretty "stuffed" as well. This year I encourage everyone to be intentional to eat slowly (I tend to "gobble" my food down real fast when I am distracted by all of the fun conversations) and really enjoy all of the different flavors. Focus on what your body is telling you and stop eating when you are almost full. Then enjoy the leftovers later on! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has an article on www.eatright.org called, "5 Tips for Enjoying the Holiday Without Gaining Weight." The author talks about portions of food at meals, the importance of movement, and several other helpful strategies!
Besides spending quality time with my family and friends, eating delicious food, and catching up on some much-needed sleep, I am planning on getting my materials together for applying to internships. I have been so busy this semester, but I made a checklist of what I needed to do and then started working on it. I went to both the University of Central Arkansas and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Dietetic Internship Open Houses last week and LOVED them. Participating in these Open Houses really got me excited for the future and gave me some motivation to finish out the semester on a strong note. We only have a few more weeks of school left! We can do it!
Am I the only one that can't believe it is already October? This semester is going by so quickly but I am very excited for the fall season. I am loving the cooler weather, fall leaves, and yummy fall flavors. I have been eating lots of soup (my favorite right now is the Autumn Squash soup at Panera… SOOO good!) and pumpkin spice goodies. I love all of the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg that are in pumpkin spice. So far I have made pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin muffins. If you guys have any good pumpkin recipes please send them my way!
October is Farm to School month. Schools will buy locally grown foods and serve them at school. It is a great way to promote healthy eating and give more options to children. The Academy has a page on their website called "kids eat right" where they give healthy tips for kids, provide recipes, and neat articles to read. There are some great ideas for getting kids interested and involved in making healthy snacks and foods. Our children are going to grow up and be the next leaders of our country so we need to provide nutrition education to help them have a healthy and happy life! What are some ways that you guys can get involved with Farm to School? I am about to help out with a school garden next week. I think school gardens are a wonderful idea! It gives children an opportunity for hands on learning and kids are more likely to try foods that they have helped take care of and watched grow.
This is also the time of year for Dietetic Internship Open Houses. So exciting! Mark your calendars for November 8th, 2018. The University of Central Arkansas has their open house on November 8th from 9:00-11:00am and the University of Arkansas for Medical Science has theirs on November 8th from 1:30-3:30pm. You can find more information and how to RSVP on the school websites. I am looking forward to learning more about the programs and what I need to do to start applying for internships.
I hope you had an amazing and relaxing spring break! I travelled to Amarillo, Texas to see my family and my best friend, Tori. She graduated from the University of Arkansas last year and has started her dietetic internship in August. I did absolutely no homework over spring break, and that was the best decision ever. By the time spring break was over, I was struggling trying to get motivation to finish out the rest of this semester, but I think I have finally found it, which is a good thing too. It seems as though everything imaginable is due at the end of this month, so it might explain why I have been so scatter brained lately.
On April 8th, many of us discovered whether we were matched in a Dietetic Internship or not. For those of you who matched with an internship, congratulations! I am excited for you as you start this new journey. If you did not match, it is going to be okay. I would recommend talking to your advisor to figure out your next step. I know I am not much help, but I will be praying for you and everything is going to work out. I am blessed to say that I successfully matched with University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock.
The ArAND conference is coming up, and I can't wait to see you guys there! I'll be attending the awards ceremony on Thursday evening and the conference on Friday. If you are there, please stop by and say "hi"! I would love to meet you!
Let's start out, my name is Sarah Jane Frick a current Dietetic Intern at UCA. Several of my classmates and I attended National RD/RDN day at the Arkansas State Capitol. Every year we have a proclamation signed by the Govenor and get pictures made. This year was a little different as we were also promoting the critical importance of Dietetic Licensure within the state of Arkansas. Wow! I was so surprised at the number of RDN's and future RDN's that came to support our profession and our licensure.
Licensure for healthcare professional is very important! For dietetics, it is important to ensure that a qualified RDN is responsible for the integration and application of human nutrition - RDN's are THE professionals in nutrition care services like Medical Nutrition Therapy. An RDN has earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited university (many RD/RDNs have advanced degrees), has completed a supervised practice program (Dietetic Internship), has passed a registered exam and maintain continuing education hours for recertification. We are HIGHLY qualified. The RDN title is very prestigous and should be treated with the utmost respect when working with other professionals and patients. An RD/RDN is known as the expert in food and nutrition.
I was so encouraged by the outpuring of support that dietetics professional showed on March 14th! We are an integral part of healthcare and management teams. I know that my time spent obtaining the RDN credential was worth every minute. In August, when I graduate with an MS and obtain my verification statement, I want to be employed at a place that values my contribution to human health and longevity. I hope that students and future RDN's will remain concerned and protective of our licensure and our scope of practice. We are THE food and nutrition professionals!
I hope this month has been good for you! For those of you who have applied for dietetic internships, we made it! While school isn't over yet, I hope you can somewhat relax. If you don't have time to relax, like me, Spring Break is coming up soon and we can really relax then! But until Spring Break, stay motivated to study for midterms.
Y'all, it is National Nutrition Month! I am curious to see what other schools across the state are doing to celebrate. Please share with what your dietetic program is doing to promote National Nutrition Month in the comments of this post (on Facebook). By sharing your program's ideas, schools from across the state can brainstorm for next year. For instance, the University of Arkansas Student Dietetic Association is working with our dietitian on campus, Ms. Ashley Meek, to promote nutrition to our campus. We are also planning on promoting National Nutrition Month on social media. Don't forget that March 16th is National RDN Day! To all of the Registered Dietitians reading this, I want to thank you for all of your hard work and passion for nutrition and helping others.
Also, the ArAND conference is coming up and will be on April 19th through 20th. Registration ends on March 31st…a perfect way to wrap up National Nutrition Month. If you are a student and an Academy member, the cost is $70 for both days. If you are a student and not an Academy member, the cost is $100 for both day. It is another perk to becoming an Academy member, because you can save $30 and use it to buy food, or pay for a school parking ticket. Overall, it is a great opportunity for networking with dietitians across the state and learning interesting evidenced based nutrition information! If you would like more information, visit www.arkansaseatright.org.
I hope school is going great so far! If you are like me, you have tests coming up soon. I don't normally drink coffee during the day, but it has become my best friend since I have three tests this week. I don't have much advice for school except timed breaks are very important and setting goals in your studying will help you so much. Also, find a study buddy if you haven't found one. They will help you so much!
If you are applying for DICAS, I also wish you luck. It is a process, but you can do it! Don't forget to review your application and have your advisors help you too! They are there for a reason, and they want to see you succeed. You're almost at the finish line; finish strong.
Valentine's Day is also coming up. Whether you are going out with someone special, or getting a cupcake and relaxing (totally my plan), then I hope you have a good evening. Remember, dark chocolate is heart healthy, so treat yourself!
I do have some opportunities to share. If you are an Arkansas resident and a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, there are scholarships available! Applications are due on May 1st. Also, if you are a freshman, sophomore, or junior looking for an amazing volunteer opportunity that looks great on DICAS, then I encourage to apply to become a Student Liaison for the Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. With this position, you promote the academy to many dietetic students across the state. You get to write blogs, which has been a new experience for me and I have learned so much. I have enjoyed writing to you all, and I hope that my advice has helped. This application is due on March 12th, so it is coming up! For more information, go to arkansaseatright.org.
Hi everyone! Happy New Year! I hope you all have had an amazing break so far, whether it be very relaxing or getting a lot of things accomplished. I also hope that your holidays were great. My family gave me a crockpot for Christmas and I can't wait to use it.
The best thing about a new year is the fact that you can do things to improve yourself. It is the perfect time to get more sleep, be more active, eat healthier, or be more productive. It is also a great time to improve your career path as a future dietitian by becoming a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It is great, because it provides you with weekly emails about nutrition in the news, helps develop you professionally in the dietetics field, and also looks good on a DICAS application. Also, DICAS is coming up, and for those seniors out there who are applying, I wish you the best of luck!
I am excited and nervous for the due date, February 15th. I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life. I have been tackling a section of DICAS each week and putting it into an Excel file. This way, it helps me check the spelling and can be easier to read. This is a huge lifesaver to me; my family doesn't have internet access at home, so I have to get creative. So, if you are having to travel anywhere or your internet isn't working, I would highly suggest this tip. Also, whenever I get ready to put all the information into DICAS, all I have to do is copy and paste.
I am personally ready for school to start back. I'm ready to get back into my groove of schoolwork, extracurricular activities and work. I'm really excited about my classes this last semester at the University of Arkansas and I know that this semester will pass fast. It is honestly hard to imagine that I will be graduating in May. It seems like yesterday I was moving into my freshman dorm. I hope you all have a good rest of the break, safe travels back to school, and a good semester!
I hope your Thanksgiving was great! Hopefully, you ate a lot a great food and spent time with your family. For many of us, finals are just around the corner. While I can't tell you what questions will be on the exam, I can tell you how I have survived finals week throughout my college career. Sleep and nutrition are very important, especially when we need to perform at our best. I have yet to pull an all-nighter in college, and I have eluded that by starting early. So, if you want to be your best during finals week, start now!
If you are a senior, you have probably started working on DICAS or will start working on it soon. What I am hoping to do is tackle a task every week. For instance, last week I worked on my resume. This week, I am going to work on personal statements and visit the Quality Writing Center on the University of Arkansas Campus to make sure my resume is the best it can be. If you aren't sure if your school has a writing center, ask your advisor for help. Find a system that works for you, stay organized, and discipline yourself to stay on task and get the job done! Remember to stay positive and have fun too! Just don't forget that February 15th will be here faster than you think!
I am also promoting an amazing opportunity for y'all. This is a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. If you are a student member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, you have probably received a student newsletter. If you read the email, you would have noticed that the Academy is looking for student liaisons. If you aren't a member, now is a good time to become one! Being a student liaison looks great on a resume and is a lot of fun. I am currently the Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Student Liaison and the Northwest Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Student Liaison. It may seem like a lot of work, but the rewards are huge.
Hi everyone! I am currently a dietetic intern at UAMS. Hazing at its finest, lemme tell ya. Just kidding, but really, I'm busier than a mosquito at a nudist camp.
First of all, I want to say to any of you undergrads who might be reading this – if you are currently applying to internships or preparing yourself for that process, props to you. It's a lot of work and I know you have worked really hard to get to this point. Best of luck with it! Something I wish someone would have told me before I applied is to make sure you have someone proofread EVERYTHING you send out to schools or include in your application. Trust me.
As for me, right now, my fellow interns and I are currently in week 14 of 40 of our internship! So were making through! In the UAMS internship, our 40 weeks are split into a 20-week clinical semester and a 20-week administrative semester. I am currently enduring the clinical semester. So far, my most interesting rotation has been the pediatric rotation at Arkansas Children's Hospital. I learned SO much and everyday was something completely different. We spent each morning and afternoon with a different specialty of dietetics and each one comes with its own challenges and rewards. I loved working with all the kids!
I can say, without a doubt, my preceptors have all been splendid. The RDs in Arkansas are sincere and kind and so willing to help interns succeed in this field. The other girls in the internship are also the greatest. We have all bonded so well, whether it's hiking Pinnacle Mountain, grabbing Mexican food, or celebrating birthdays during our Monday class time with all the food – we have become really good friends. It is really important to lean on each other because we need all the help we can get sometimes!
Being in a dietetic internship is like a crazy mystery adventure where you meet like ten new people every day and then stay up late staring at the Quizlet you made, trying to absorb as much as you can so you are prepared for the rotation the next day. But it's all so worth it. I am so happy I have the opportunity to further my education here in Arkansas and I keep telling myself that one day I WILL BE AN RD! It'll be here sooner than I think!
Hey y'all! Fall happens to be my favorite season. There is nothing better than cool, crisp air, beautiful leaves, hot tea, scarves, boots, and fuzzy socks. I also enjoy apples with caramel. It is a delicious snack that is semi-healthy. I've actually provided one of my favorite caramel apple dips that you can use for any Halloween party or get together this fall.
Speaking of fall, I hope school is going well for you! The first round of exams should be over by now and midterms are coming up. If you are struggling in some of your classes, it's okay! You got this! You will figure out how you study best for your classes; I've always found that I know the information better when I write out my notes after each class. I guess the muscle memory helps me understand the information.
Since a lot of us are going to school to become Registered Dietitians, there is an amazing opportunity for dietetic students to help us further our education. This opportunity is the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE). I am so excited to be attending FNCE this year! If you don't know what FNCE is, it is where dietitians across the US and from other countries attend a conference to learn about new nutrition information that can be used in the dietetic field. While it may be too late to start planning now to attend this year, you can start planning for next year if you are interested in attending. If you are a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, you will get a discount in comparison if you are not a member. There is a student internship fair where dietetic internship programs provide information, so you can find the program you are interested in and visit the program's table to get more information. Next year, FNCE will be held in Washington D.C.
Enjoy this recipe while you are studying!
Dietetics is not an easy major. Along with maintaining a high-grade point average, gaining work experience and being involved in volunteer opportunities, we as students have to learn time management and organizational skills just to stay afloat. I am sure that we can all relate to the academic stress and the stress of preparing for our futures, but I am here to tell you that you are not alone.
This year, I am a senior Nutrition and Dietetic student at the University of Arkansas from Nashville, Arkansas. When I am not studying, I am spending my spare time working as a Principles of Foods Lab Teaching Assistant, president of the Student Dietetic Association, Student Liaison of the Northwest Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Student Liaison of the Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am still wondering how I am successfully surviving college, but I am pretty sure coffee is the answer.
Throughout my college career, I have been asked why I decided to major in dietetics. I grew up in 4-H where my main project was Foods and Nutrition since I was five years old. I was involved in many community projects that related to my main project like helping build the bathroom facility at our Farmer's Market. I did not figure out that I wanted to major in dietetics until I presented an illustrated talk about eggs. I enjoyed learning about the different nutrients found in eggs and I thought it was neat how research changes over time. When I figured out there was a career where I could help people and work with food, I knew I was in the right spot.
I, like most dietetic seniors, am preparing for my dietetic internship. To be honest, I am making a Pros and Cons lists for each school that I am interested in pursuing a dietetic internship with. I am studying to take the GRE and trying to organize my resume. I am also taking Advanced Nutrition and Medical Nutrition Therapy, and those are my favorite classes this semester. While they will be difficult, I am up for the challenge.
I mentioned that I am the Student Liaison for the Arkansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. I am really excited for this opportunity. A board member, Jessica Bradley, visited our Community Nutrition class to share with us the importance of public policy in the dietetic field. Throughout college, dietetic students are learning about working in a clinical setting. But behind most nutrition policies, there is a politician, and somebody has to convince them of what will be best for our field. I knew I wanted to get involved with dietetics on the state level, and ArAND is great opportunity for that. While I will not be charging Capitol Hill, I will be working with my fellow dietetic students in Arkansas. We are the future of our profession. I encourage you, if you have not already, to become a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. You get access to journal articles and a nutrition magazine. You also get weekly newsletters about recent nutrition information. We are a bunch of food nerds and we should be jumping all over this. These resources, in turn, will help prepare you to become the dietitian you want to be.


Please don't feed bread to the Canadian geese or ducks on the ponds. It hurts them because they fill up on bread, don't eat what they should be eating, lacking protein, and this damages their wings. They then cannot fly. If you want to feed them, please get the proper food.
Also, I would like to know why adolescent boys are compelled to throw rocks at the geese, and at the koi in the pond? Please teach your children to respect wildlife. The ponds are protected wetlands managed by DNREC.
There are people and children fishing in the pond also. The koi in the pond are not for fishing but for all of us to share their beauty. What can be done to stop this? I was told to mind my own business when I saw them.
the fishing needs to be reported to the Homeowners Association. ask them to post signage NO FISHING!

Q: Rails 2.2.2: Render an template with yield, inside a model I'n trying to write out an html file onto our filesystem, so it can be zipped up and sent out, along with some other stuff.
I have an erb template I want to use, in our app/views/layouts folder.  That template has a standard <%= yield %> call in it, and in this instance I have a bunch of pre-generated html, as a string in my method, that I want to replace yield with.
So, I need to do something like this (pseudocode):
string = "
This is some html
"
erb_template = "app/views/layouts/my_layout.html.erb"
output_filename = "/tmp/output.html"

#something like this...
render_to_file(erb_template, output_filename) do
  string
end

It might be simpler for me to try to just gsub out <%= yield %> and replace it with my text, but that feels like a cop out...
Btw, if it's easier to get the result as a string, eg using render_to_string, and then write it to a file myself, that's fine.  It's the evaluation of the template with the yield inside that I don't get...
EDIT:  I've tried changing <%= yield %> to <%= @content %>, and then doing this, but they both raise a "protected method call" error:
c = ActionController::Base.new()
html = c.render_to_string :template => erb_template, :layout => false, :locals => {:content => string}

c = ApplicationController.new()
html = c.render_to_string :template => erb_template, :layout => false, :locals => {:content => string}

A: Try this:
ActionView::Base.new(ActionController::Base.view_paths).
  render(template: "your/template", locals: { foo: "bar" })

This should successfully render the template at views/your/template.html.erb:

My template

Foo: <%= foo %>

A: I ended up doing it like this:
I changed the template so that instead of a <%= yield %> block, i had
<%= @content %>

I then called it like this:
string = "
This is some html
"
erb_template = "app/views/layouts/my_layout.html.erb"
output_filename = "/tmp/output.html"

template = ERB.new(File.read(erb_template))
@content = string
html = template.result(binding)
File.open(output_filename, "w"){|f| f.puts html}

binding is the state of the current scope (ie with all the same variables etc), so it uses the @content which I'd just defined.  This probably isn't the cleanest way, and it's not quite what I asked for, but thought I'd leave it here as an answer anyway.  I'm still curious to know if it can be done with the <%= yield %> rather than using an instance var (like i have) or a local var (like Máté Solymosi's answer).


No matter who gets involved or which side ultimately prevails, Turkey will still be among the losers of the Syrian war, writes Claire Sadar.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been beseeching the international community to take action on Syria for over two years now. Until the recent chemical weapons crisis, international community largely ignored the Syrian war. Even the heated threats that followed this incident cooled quickly with few consequences for the US or Assad's regime.
However, Turkey has not had the luxury of watching this war from the sidelines. Its lengthy shared boarder with Syria has brought the frontline within sight of Turkish villages and driven hundreds of thousands of fleeing Syrian civilians to seek safety inside Turkish territory. Turkey tried desperately to mitigate the conflict at its outset and its impotent efforts seriously affected Turkey's once "model" status in the region.
Though international organizations and the United States alike have clearly indicated that they wish to limit their involvement in the conflict, Turkey has become inextricably entangled in the Syrian civil war. This entanglement has already had dire international and domestic consequences for Turkey.
Just a few years ago, Turkey's relationship with Syria was the centerpiece of Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's "zero problems with neighbors" foreign policy. Turkey's Prime Minister Erdoğan and Syria's President Assad had developed close political, as well as personal, friendship. As a result the two countries significantly relaxed controls and allowed greater freedom of movement for both people and goods across their shared border. The refusal of Assad to heed the Turkish government's repeated pleas to halt violent reprisals on protestors was a significant blow Turkey's aspiration to regional hegemony.
As Turkey quickly transitioned from one of Syria's closest allies to one of its fiercest denouncers it became a safe haven for civilian refugees and Free Syrian Army fighters alike. It is estimated that there are as many as a half a million Syrian refugees currently in Turkey; about half are in camps with the remainder having settled independently in Turkish towns and cities.
Turkey has provided a remarkable amount of support for these refugees, largely at its own expense. It is also an open secret that the Turkish government has provided support to the Syrian rebels and allowed them to move freely across its border. The Turkish government's backing of rebel groups has had serious consequences for Turks living along the Syrian border. Dozens of people have been killed inside Turkish territory by weapons fired from Syria. Most ominously, two car bombs which went off minutes apart killed 52 Turks and Syrians in the southern town of Reyhanlı. Though the Syrian government denied responsibility, it is widely believed that the attacked was linked to Turkey's support for the Syrian rebels.
Despite the fact that Turkey has universal male conscription and has been characterized as a relatively militarized culture, popular opinion has remained decidedly against invention in Syria. Perhaps this is because the threat to Turkish territory and citizens is all too real for so many Turks. The cross-border violence has proven how vulnerable Turkish civilians are to becoming victims of this war, even without an invasion of hostile forces. From their experience of the nearly thirty year long struggle between the Turkish government and Kurdish guerilla forces, Turks know all too well the devastation a long insurgency can cause. The current Turkish-Kurdish peace process has significant grassroots support among the Turkish population.
Worryingly, the situation in Syria has complicated these peace talks. A Kurdish political group known as the PYD, which has ties to the Turkish Kurd insurgent group the PKK, has carved out an autonomous region in northern Syria bordering on Turkey. Though the Syrian Kurds are not aligned with Assad, and it is in Turkey's interest to have at least one area of stability on its border, the Turkish government has been reluctant to openly or even tacitly support a Kurdish controlled region in Syria for fear it will reignite Kurdish aspirations for control of Turkish territory. This fear may have led Ankara to support al-Qaida affiliated groups which have been attacking Kurds in northern Syria. True or not, these accusations tarnish the Turkish government's claims that it is genuinely seeking peace with Kurds within its own borders.
It was impossible for Turkey to stay neutral in the Syrian conflict. The influx of refugees paired with the ethnic and religious ties that span the border made the material stakes too high. However, from the beginning it was also almost impossible for Turkey to see a positive or even neutral outcome from the war. Syria's implosion destroyed the credibility of its foreign policy, created a humanitarian crisis within its borders and inflamed already delicate interethnic relations. Assad's possession and use of chemical weapons is only one of many problems Syria has created for Turkey. No matter who gets involved or which side ultimately prevails, Turkey will still be among the losers of the Syrian war.
