Create your own Gutenberg Boilerplate – Part 1
The first thing when we need to start building Gutenberg Blocks is setting up few tools properly. It's a good idea if we build a Boilerplate where we have all initial setup ready, this saves a lot of time while starting a new project.
Also building your own Boilerplate gives you complete control on what tools and setup you are using with the ability to update or change it with time (as needed).
These acricles will also cover all the basics you need to learn in order to start building your own Gutenberg Blocks.
While It's possible to create Gutenberg blocks without using tools like Webpack and Node, and with ES5 (old version of JavaScrip), I am going to use all the modern tooling and ES6 syntax so that out boilerplate is future ready.
You can use create-
Competed Code for reference.
You can download the code from github repository:
You can refer to the code on github in case you run into any error while trying the code that I have used in this article.
Let's get started…
Step 1: Setup a new Plugin
If you are new to WordPress Plugin development, you can read about it in the Plugin Handbook provided by WordPress.
Gutenberg Blocks are created as plugins. So the first thing we need to do is create a new folder in our
/wp-content/plugins/ folder. Let's name our folder as
Next, create a file
gutenberg-boilerplate.php in the folder and define our plugin.
* Plugin Name: Gutenberg Boilerplate
* Description: This is a Boilerplate plugin to start building Gutenberg Blocks.
* Text Domain: gutenberg_boilerplate
* Version: 1.0.0
// Exit if accessed directly.
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { exit; }
// Block Initializer.
require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'blocks/init.php';
That's all we need to add in this file.
- First we are defining our plugin in the comments (Plugin Header), this is the information that WordPress displays about our plugin on the Plugins page. You can add more information, however only Plugin Name is required and rest of the information is optional. You can read more about Plugin Header here.
- Next, we are adding little security measure so that our PHP file can not be accessed directly from URL or another unidentified sources.
- Last, we are including a file. We will create this file in next steps and use this to register our block and all Scripts and CSS files related to our block.
You can see that our Plugin is now available in the list of Plugins in WordPress Admin. If you feel tempted to activate the plugin, you will first need to comment out the last line in the PHP file that we have created, because we are including a file that we have not created yet, and this will produce an error.
Step 2: Prepare Tools – Node, Webpack, Babel…
Let's start with setting up a
With Webpack we can do a lot of things, like adding babel support, SCSS compilation, minification and uglification of our JS and CSS files. All this stuff is really useful to make our code fast and
Create a new file named blocks.js
Before we start, create a folder named
blocks and add an empty file named
blocks.js. This file works as a single entry point for all our blocks. We will touch this file in a later step.
It will be structured like this:
Install Node.js
package.json file
Assuming that you have downloaded and installed the node js, let's create
package.json file now. This file will maintain a list of all the node packages we need for our Gutenberg Block. In addition, we will add some commands in this file to create our build process.
In your plugin's root folder
/wp-content/plugins/gutenberg-boilerplate, create a new file named
package.json, and add the following code in it:
"name": "gutenberg-boilerplate",
"version": "1.0.0",
"private": true,
I am not creating this file using npm init because we do not need any other information added in this file about our project. However you can add more information as needed for your projects.
You can read more about package.json file in the official documentation here, and update the file to match your needs.
Install necessary modules/packgages
Next we need to install few modules using NPM
Run following command on your command prompt to install all these modules in our plugin's folder:
npm install --save-dev --save-exact webpack webpack-cli babel-loader @babel/core @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx cross-env
package.json file after installing all modules:
"name": "gutenberg-boilerplate",
"version": "1.0.0",
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/core": "7.3.4",
"@babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx": "7.3.0",
"babel-loader": "8.0.5",
"cross-env": "5.2.0",
"webpack": "4.29.6",
"webpack-cli": "3.2.3"
You will also see a new folder named
node_modules. This folder contains all the modules that we have installed above.
When distributing your plugin you don't need to include "node_modules" folder in it. You can reinstall all modules by using command npm install. This command will create node_modules folder for you and install all modules listed in package.json file.
Preparing Webpack & Babel
Now after installing all necessary packages, we need to create a file that will hold all the configuration needed for webpack to work according to our requirements.
Create a new file
Add the following code to this file:
// sets mode webpack runs under
const NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
mode: NODE_ENV,
// entry is the source script
entry: './blocks/blocks.js',
// output is where to write the built file
output: {
path: path.join( __dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'blocks.build.js',
module: {
// the list of rules used to process files
// this looks for .js files, exclude files
// in node_modules directory, and uses the
// babel-loader to process
rules: [
test: /.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
Here we are giving instructions to webpack to read our
/blocks/blocks.js file, compile it using babel (and exclude the files in node_modules folder in the process). And to save the output in
/dist/blocks.build.js file. Webpack will automatically create this folder and file for us.
Next we need to create a file named
.babelrc to add some configuration for babel
"plugins": [
[ "@babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx", {
"pragma": "wp.element.createElement"
} ]
Here we are instructing babel to transform JSX code using
wp.element.createElement() function instead of
React.createElement() which is default behaviour of transform-react-jsx plugin.
If you are interested you can read more about wp.element.createElement here in Gutenberg documentation.
Configure npm to run webpack
We are almost there, last thing we need to do is add few lines in
package.json file for setting up our commands that will run babel.
Add a scripts section in
package.json file with following code.
"scripts": {
"dev": "webpack --watch",
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack"
Here we have created two different commands for development and production modes.
You can run
npm run dev on your command prompt, it will start webpack with a –watch flag. webpack will process our blocks.js file and it keeps watching for any changes until you manually kill the process using
The second command we have created is
num run build. This will prepare a production ready, minified version of our blocks.js file.
You can go ahead and test both commands, they will create a folder named
dist with a
blocks.build.js file in it.
Here's our complete
package.json file with all code we have added so far:
"name": "gutenberg-boilerplate",
"version": "1.0.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "webpack --watch",
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack"
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/core": "7.3.4",
"@babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx": "7.3.0",
"babel-loader": "8.0.5",
"cross-env": "5.2.0",
"webpack": "4.29.6",
"webpack-cli": "3.2.3"
We have our webpack and babel setup ready. In the next part we will register our block and enqueue the scripts and CSS files related to it.

Daily Meditation
Posted by johncatoir under Daily Meditations
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us exult and rejoice in it.  – Ps 118:24
Reflection.  Did you know that the central message of Christianity is joy?  Pope John Paul II said, "Christ came to bring joy; joy to children, joy to parents, joy to families and friends, joy to the sick and elderly.  Christ came to bring joy to all people; go therefore and become messengers of joy."
Prayer.  Dear Jesus, help me to choose joy as the dominant motif of my life. Â

After a long wait we finally brought a few chickens home. We put them in the three in one chicken enclosure (posted about this earlier) on our rooftop.
There are four Onagadori (three female and a male) and one Karim Kozhi (female). My good friend Jasid gave me these chickens from the farm that his father runs (Cichin Pets Farm).
Onagadori (means long tail) is native to a place in Japan called Köchi (somewhat same name as my home town, Kochi). Hopefully chickens feel home! 😉
Karim Kozhi is a local verity that is totally black. Their eggs and meat are known to be having medicinal values.
All are young ones just started laying eggs. When we got home with the chickens a couple of days ago, there was an egg in the box! Karim Kozhi is on a roll! 🙂

Who is currently playing in BLOOD STAIN CHILD?
Guitar:me(RYU), Guitar:Shiromasa, Vo&Bass:RYO, Drums:Violator and Synthesizer:Aki.
Can you tell me the story of BLOOD STAIN CHILD so far?
BLOOD STAIN CHILD was formed in 2000. We send our demo to a radio program, then the DJ of the program had been our big fan. He recommended us to the label and our debut was confirmed. Before debut, we wrote and played a theme song of Japanese famous wrestler Kensuke Sasaki. In 2002, we released first album "Silence Of Northern Hell". In the same year, we played with Dream Evil of Sweden as opening act. In 2003, second album "Mystic Your Heart" was released. And last year, we released our third album "IDOLATOR" in Japan. This album got many good reaction not only from Japanese media but from outside of Japan, Dockyard1 label was one of them. We finally got the chance of debut in Europe!
How do you feel about your new record Idolator?
When we finished this album, we finally found and make what we want to do.
Why did you add some clean vocals? Did you want to underline the melodic aspects in your music?
Actually no. In our song, both of scream voice and clean voice has a role each. In many cases, scream voice is the leading character of a story. On the other hand, clean voice is the space or nature surrounding him. The number of characters increased recently, so we need kinds of voice.
Are you satisfied with the reactions so far? How was the response of your own fans?
We got many emails from fans everyday, they are enjoying our albums and say very good words. On the other case, they came to our show and talk to us friendly. Their words encourage us to make good songs and live performance. We don't want to put distance between fans and us.
But we are not satisfied with the present situation. We would like more people to listen to our music.
How did you experience the work with Tue Madsen? Was it how you expected it to be?
At the time of debut, we did not imagine to work with an overseas engineer. But an engineer with great ability was necessary to make the sound that we wanted.
I met the sound of Tue on the album of Heaven Shall Burn and MNEMIC. When I listened the sound first time, I felt and understood that this is the man. I found modern feeling and natural feeling in his sound together. That is just what we wanted. BSC features the digital elements a lot. Therefore, for our sound, a natural feeling is very important. If the digital sound spread everywhere, it would be dull.
We have not actually met Tue, all the works were done on the internet. He uploaded the mixed songs, then we listened it and asked him to adjust some part, and he did and upload.... The works with him went very smoothly without any problem. Because he seems to already understand the taste of sound we wanted. And because he is warm-hearted person.
In my opinion Idolator sounds really European. I always have to think of bands like In Flames, Children Of Bodom and Death when I listen to Idolator
Actually, we are affected by IN FLAMES and Children Of Bodom. Their music is really splendid. But we are affected not only by metal but also by TRANCE and Healing and World Music, especially, for example, by DEEP FOREST and RYUICHI SAKAMOTO. Of course, the base of our sound is a metal. Therefore, our music might sounds like European metal band.
Idolator is your first release in Europe, but you have recorded already several other records! Why did it take so long to find someone who will release your record in Europe?
Weve been hoping our CD release in Europe for a long time since we formed BSC. We send our CD to some labels out of Japan, but we could not get the chance of release in Europe. Actually, our first album released in KOREA. But we wanted to do it in Europe where has been our ideal place.
By the way, internet has been developed very fast these years. So people all over the world can listen to our music easily now.
Actually, before we signed with Dockyard1, European listeners contact us everyday to say kind of "Fxxkin' great album!"
It might help us to release in Europe. But the reason why Idolator is our first in Europe could be just Idolator is better than other two album of ours...
Will you re-release the old ones too?
If Idolator was accepted and had good sales, it would be happen. I hope so!
Tell me some words about the Japanese Metal-Scene!
There are a lot of high quality bands, but the metal scene is still underground in Japan.
The chart is filled by pop music. We should activate the Japanese music scene.
When can we expect a tour through Europe?
There is no plan for that at this moment... Some day, well make it happen. So, please look forward to it!
The last word is yours!
Thank you for reading this. Check IDOLATOR, it is filled with the sounds what you listen to first time!

2 French ISIS boys kill Syrians in chilling video
A shocking video released by Islamic State shows two French boys brutally murdering two pro-government Syrians in Aleppo.
The footage, partially in French and titled 'Sur les traces de mon pere' ('In the footsteps of my father'), features two French teenagers named 'Abu Musa'ab' and 'Abu Qaqa'a'.
The boys are allegedly brothers, brought to Syria with their father, who was later killed in fighting.
The two men murdered in the video were supposedly found guilty of espionage, Islamic State's (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) Telegram account stated.
In the video, two French teenagers are shown living the IS 'life', and being raised as jihadists.
They fire at posters of world leaders, including French President Francois Hollande.
Afterwards, they are shown executing two unarmed Syrian men, claiming that one of them is a spy for the Nusayri Army (Alawites, the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad), and the other a soldier of the Nusayri Army.
Children have often become a frightening tool of IS propaganda: only a fortnight ago, terrorists released footage showing Syrian orphans, saying they seek revenge for their parents' deaths.
In February, a disturbing video demonstrated a 4-year-old infant, dressed in camouflage clothing and nicknamed Jihadi Junior, blowing up three prisoners by pressing a button on a remote control.
In another footage released last December, a group of six children, each about eight years old, take part in a chilling hide-and-seek game: they execute Syrian captives, hidden in the ancient ruins.

Philosophical Martin still grinding on PGA Tour
As a longtime amateur and seven-year professional, Ben Martin has learned a thing or two about the game of golf.
"All of the guys out here know that golf can be a fickle game," Martin said.
Perhaps no one knows that better than Martin, a former Clemson University standout who has seen his fortunes on the PGA Tour take a turn for the worse of late.
After winning his first tournament and finishing 24th in the FedExCup standings in 2015, Martin slipped to 61st last season and stood 169th in this season's rankings entering the recent Wells Fargo Championship in Wilmington, N.C.
He's made the cut in just six of 14 tournaments, with a top finish of a tie for 18th in the Sanderson Farms Championship last October.
"In the game of golf, you have to look at the long run and not beat yourself up in the short run," said Martin, a Greenwood native who now resides in Greenville. "In the short run I haven't really played the way I wanted to, but you kind of bank on past success and know you have what it takes to be out there and be successful at it.
"You have ebbs and flows, so you want to ride the high waves as long as you can, and when it's not going the way you want it to, keep working at it, keep grinding, and know that it's going to come back around."
More: Clemson golf still in good hands with Penley
More: Clemson men's golf keeps streak alive
It may be coming back around sooner rather than later for the affable Martin.
The 29-year-old Martin opened with a 4-under par 68 in the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship last week and was hoping to post in his best finish of the season.
Martin, who participated in a fundraiser for the First Tee program last December and in the Bill Haas Charity Classic in Greenville on May 1, hasn't posted a victory since the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open two years ago, but remains philosophical as he continues his pursuit of win No. 2.
"It's great to have a good team around me, whether it's a swing coach or a sports psychologist or my wife – she's probably the biggest part of my team," said Martin, who was a three-time All-ACC academic selection while at Clemson. "So I have great people around me who give me support. Again, even if golf's not going the way you want it to, I mean just being out here, it's a great day and life's still good even though your golf game may not be where you want it to be."

At the end of the day, it is not about purchasing, but about selling that brings a huge difference to a profit. This is why most investors are advised to ensure that they went through financial plans for it is like going to a four-year commitment after a four-year Seller's Stamp Duty or SSD has been considered. Repaying this is required and it has to happen before the four years.
Once the amount of finances available has been determined, there is already the great advantage of going to the property marketing so that a passive income may be generated. This may be earned through rental yields compared to putting the cash in the bank that does not grow at all.
With the current state of the market in Singapore, it is advisable to check out good investment properties from time to time. There were times when their prices drop to at least 10% as compared to those with a fixed deposit which often pays 0.5%. This unlikely hedge against inflation which now stands for around 5.7%.
Learning more about Investment Plans and Schemes
Here are some of the features of investing a property in Singapore:
- Most of the investors in the country take advantage of the low-interest rate. This is the reason why they normally put out their money to property assets so that they could generate a positive cash flow. This may occur through a rental income. A positive result may be earned from here, most especially from off-set mortgage costs. This would even equate to that of annual passive income which may reach at least $18 annually. This can beat returns which are obtained from fix deposits and outperforms dividend returns which are earned from stocks.
- The prices of private properties still rise until now. Despite the economic uncertainty, the effects of cooling measures are seen now. They have the power to lead slower rise in prices. This has been the case now as compared to how it was in the year 2010. Today, there are reasons seen why there is a sudden hold up in the prices. For instance, sales are now stagnating. There are those who are not willing to sell at lower rises. There are also buyers who are not ready to commit to higher prices. Aside from this, there is also an existing demand for the property which typically exceeds supply because of the owners being hurried to sell. This is when rising occurs.
Most investors should look at Singapore property asset as a long-term investment. They must not be alarmed by the sudden impediment in the property market because they will still benefit from it in the long run. There are reasons why there might an increase in value. These are the following:
- Clean governance in the country
- Scarcity of land
- Inflation which places pressure on most prices
As for any buyer who is willing to invest in other kind of properties aside from the residential segment, shopping houses should begin as early as they can.

Within a few steps in Dallas, you'll be barraged with the abrasive orange, green or yellow of ride-share bikes. They're everywhere. They're an eyesore, and we're looking for ways to have fewer of them.
It's not unlike how Dallas once felt about streetwalkers. (We still do, presumably, but there aren't that many of them, what with the internet.) With that in mind, we've created a completely factual quiz to see if you can tell the difference. Gather the family around and guess if each statement refers to a Dallas ride-share bike or a prostitute:
- Once you learn how to ride one, you never forget.
- There are way too many outside bars at night.
- You worry whether the last client left any diseases.
- When you were 10, your dad taught you how to use one.
- Parts of one have been found scattered across downtown.
- A bell doesn't come standard, but you can attach one if that's what you need.
- It's illegal to hit one with your car and drive off.
- Riding one in the middle of the street is a safety hazard.
- Bringing one as your date to a high school reunion isn't impressing anyone.
- It smells like someone peed on it.
- You paid for two hours but only rode for 15 minutes.
- Wearing a helmet might not feel good, but you'll be glad you did.
- When you were 17, you saved up money for one because you just wanted to get it over with, but you chickened out and watched an X-Files marathon instead.
- Does not accept checks as payment.

Practical wisdom about dating, courtship, and relationships to improve your love life.
Have you been on multiple dates with the same guy and feel as if things aren't progressing the way you'd like? Or are you fresh off of the dating scene and in a new relationship? When you're still getting to know each other and things are still new, you may not know what to do at times. Here are five resources that help when you are feeling uncertain.
New relationships are exciting, and there's big temptation to sleep together early on. Both conventional wisdom and experience show that having sex too soon increases the likelihood of ruining a potential relationship. Here's why. When a man is interested in a woman, it's usually about sex at first. Men are wired to chase and it's in the chase where genuine connection and affection grow. If you have sex too soon and want to be in a committed and lasting relationship, you send the wrong signal and don't give him the opportunity to know who you really are. It's in the chase that he gets to know you beyond your physical attributes.
Am I in Love? The Distinction Between Love, Lust and Infatuation
Are you dating a guy you're really into? Or are you in a new relationship and not sure if you're in love? In this situation, it can be easy to confuse love with lust and infatuation since they share intense feelings. Learn the distinctions between love, lust and infatuation to find out where you're at. And answer 20 questions to know for certain if you're in love or not.
How to Build a Stronger Connection with My Man
This one book, The Four Agreements, when put into practice will transform the relationship you have with yourself and others. If you are looking to improve your connection with the guy you're with, the message in this book is simple, yet very profound. When you embrace and live each of the Four Agreements, you will experience personal freedom. These are the four agreements: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best.
Relationship Questions to Ask for Long-Term Commitment
Have you been dating a guy you really like for the past few months? Are you thinking you want to be in a long-term relationship with him? If so, check in with your inner monologue and answer these relationship questions after you have gotten to know him well enough to get a good sense of who he is. Your answers to these relationship questions will confirm whether or not you're both compatible for the long run.
Why It's Not Personal
Ever been in a promising relationship where things have been going really well, only to have him say, "It's not you, it's me. I want to keep seeing you and also think we should see other people." When I heard these words, we had been dating exclusively for a few months. My heart sank because I liked him a lot. Our relationship had already gone too far. I wasn't able to step back and be okay with him being and sleeping with other women. I've come to understand that if a relationship doesn't work out the way you want, or a guy you like doesn't ask you out again, or your partner criticizes you, it's not personal. It's what you make it mean.
If you know of other helpful resources for women who have just started seeing a man they really like, please share them in the comments section. Have suggestions for other topics that will help you enjoy dating more? If so, let me know and I will write about them in future blog posts or in Your Guide to Love.
Experience your ideal love life with courses that show you how to cultivate and experience love with ease and clarity.

Protesters outside the Mount Manresa Jesuit Retreat House want to overturn the deal to sell the wooded property to a developer.
(Advance photo: Jan Somma-Hammel)
The battle to save Mount Manresa from becoming yet another dense housing development remained alive last week when a judge extended a temporary restraining order prohibiting its sale.
At the same time, the Jesuits, who currently own the land, were unfairly criticized again, this time for supposedly refusing to facilitate a compromise that could save at least some of the property from the bulldozers.
In truth, however, the Jesuits haven't done a single thing wrong here, and if one insists on assigning blame, it must fall on those who, though vociferous now, did nothing to save the Manresa property while there was still time.
Staten Island has been so ravaged by unrestrained, unimaginative development that it's become a national citation for the consequences of poor planning and insatiable greed.
The loss of the Manresa property, with its stately native trees and picturesque valley, to nondescript housing would be yet another chapter in that tragedy.
However, this is the United States, a country where private property rights enjoy constitutional protection.
Yes, the law recognizes that, in some instances, those rights may be modified or restricted. With respect to real estate, for example, zoning laws and building codes may properly burden a landowner's rights if they are reasonable in their scope and imposition.
These and similar regulations aside, however, the owners of real property are free to do with their land as they please. This includes disposing of it if they so choose.
Yet, while those fighting to save the Manresa property argue passionately that it shouldn't be sold to a developer, they ignore the fact that a binding contract of sale is already in place between the Jesuits and Savo Brothers, a local construction company.
If the Jesuits tried to renege on the deal, Savo Brothers could sue them for specific performance — i.e., a court order directing them to complete the sale, monetary damages that could run into millions, or both, plus court costs and disbursements.
Are the people screaming at the Jesuits to do just that willing to indemnify them for the staggering losses they'd incur as a consequence?
There are only two ways that this sale can be legally stopped. The first is by mutual agreement between the Jesuits and Savo Brothers. As the sole parties to the contract of sale, they are free to modify or to rescind it in whole or in part.
News reports of last week's court proceeding suggested that Savo Brothers may be amenable to an alternative use of at least some of the property, but that the Jesuits are not interested in reaching such a compromise. That doesn't seem credible, however, particularly if, as reported, their net proceeds would be unaffected.
In any event, that same result could be accomplished by a separate agreement between Savo Brothers and one or more of the third parties involved. The Jesuits' consent wouldn't even be required.
The sale could also be voided if the court were to refuse to approve it. Judicial review is limited, however, to determining whether the terms of sale are fair and reasonable to the Jesuits as a religious corporation, and whether the sale will promote its corporate purpose.
Since there is no allegation, much less evidence, that the Jesuits intend to use the proceeds for purposes inconsistent with their mission, it comes as no surprise that, last week, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office indicated its approval of the sale. The only proviso is that refunds be offered to anyone who may have donated to Mount Manresa on the mistaken assumption that the retreat house would remain open.
And, in fact, the Jesuits had previously indicated their willingness to do just that.
Word that Mount Manresa would close was published in the Advance on June 23, 2012.
Four months later, the newspaper reported that the 15.4-acre property was on the market for $15.9 million, No concerted effort to save the land from builders followed either of these events, even though it was plausible that the eventual purchaser would be a developer.
In fact, while the community fiddled, the Jesuits themselves were busy trying to secure interest in the land from non-profit organizations, more than 40 in fact, all to no avail.
Left with Savo Brothers as the only serious bidder, they entered into the existing contract of sale with that company.
It wasn't until May 12 of this year, three days after Savo Brothers were identified as the purchaser, that the Committee to Save Mount Manresa was formed.
Although stating as its purpose to "preserve and protect Mount Manresa before it's too late," it was, in fact, already too late, at least from a legal perspective. For if this case is litigated to a conclusion, whether that be in a trial-level or appellate court, the sale is going to be upheld.
While the objectants are to be applauded for their efforts, albeit belated, to save the property now, one is left to wonder what might have been had they acted with the same enthusiasm 16 months ago.

A Bremerton man accused of breaking a gas line outside a motel in August, causing a massive explosion, could face criminal prosecution.
A Bremerton man could face criminal prosecution in connection with the massive explosion in August that destroyed a motel and injured several people.
After a nearly five-month investigation, Bremerton police are recommending a third-degree-assault charge be filed against a man they say broke a gas meter and caused the natural-gas explosion at the Motel 6.
The Seattle Times is not naming the man because he has not been charged.
Ione George, chief general counsel at the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office, said Wednesday her office had just received the investigation from Bremerton police and had not made a charging decision.
"It hasn't even been logged into our system," George said. "It will get put into our system and assigned to a deputy for review."
Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan said the length of the investigation reflected the complexity of analyzing the cause of the blast.
"We had to do metallurgy and look into other technical aspects," Strachan said.
Authorities were called to the Motel 6, at 3400 11th St., just before 8 p.m. on Aug. 18 for a report of a natural-gas leak. A 911 caller reported that someone in an old, white GMC pickup had "busted" the gas line before taking off, according to a certificate of probable cause.
Among those who responded was Larry Jennings, a Cascade Natural Gas employee who was working to cut off the gas when the blast occurred.
Police Officer Jordan Ejde said he was about 50 feet away from the source of the leak when he saw the east end of the motel explode into flames. A security camera at the motel captured the devastating blast.
Ejde said he couldn't "remember if I was pushed or dived to the ground," according to the certificate of probable cause that lays out the police case.
Jennings was critically injured by the blast and has still not recovered, according to police. A company spokesman confirmed Jennings has not returned to work, but declined further comment.
One firefighter suffered a concussion and another was struck in the chest with debris, while a police officer suffered temporary hearing loss.

Motel manager Tonya Hinds managed to usher guests out of their rooms just minutes before the explosion, which destroyed 16 rooms and displaced 65 guests.
Throughout their investigation, police said they received reports about a white SUV being spotted near the motel around the time of the explosion. Several people said they saw a person breaking the gas line, police said in the probable-cause paperwork.
Police were able to eventually track down the 32-year-old suspect at the Kitsap County Jail, where he was being held on an unrelated warrant.
The man told police he had rented a room at the motel for his 17-year-old daughter. He said the girl needed to get away from her mother, who was apparently mad after the girl announced she was pregnant, the paperwork said.
The man explained that his wife was furious that the girl had left their home, and he had told his daughter to stay in the room until her mother calmed down.
When the mother went to confront the girl, the man, who is between 230 and 245 pounds, told police he stood on what he thought was a "sturdy" gray box to help the girl get out of the motel room through a window, the paperwork said.
Police said they believe the man knew the gas line had been broken but didn't alert anyone.

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a genetic disorder characterized by both progressive muscle wasting and stiffness, or an inability to relax muscles at will. Multi-system, it can affect the skeletal muscles, or those of the limbs and trunk; smooth muscles, or those found in the digestive system; and heart muscles.
There are two types of myotonic dystrophy, DM1 and DM2, based on the underlying genetic mutation — expansions of repeated areas of genes. DM1 is caused by an abnormal expansion of a repeated region in the DMPK gene, and DM2 in the CNBP gene.
The length of the expansion correlates with disease severity and age of onset. In other words, the longer the expansion, the more severe are the symptoms and the earlier they develop. Expanded regions can become even longer from one generation to the next, especially in DM1, meaning that a grandparent who is mildly affected can have more severely affected children and grandchildren who can develop the disease at birth (congenital DM).
Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)
DM1 is generally classified by its type: mild, classical or congenital. Patients with mild DM1 often have cataracts, or clouded eye lenses, and muscles that fail to relax after use (myotonia). Muscle weakness and wasting — muscle atrophy — are typical symptoms of classic DM1, as are cataracts that form before age 50, and an abnormal heart rate caused by unusual conduction of electrical impulses in the heart. Congenital DM1 is marked by general muscle weakness that also affects breathing, and intellectual disability.
Congenital-onset DM1
Infants born with congenital-onset DM1 typically have significant cognitive as well as muscular disabilities. Whether these symptoms are exclusively related to the genetic mutation or are influenced by labor and delivery complications is a matter of debate. Mental disabilities typically do not worsen as children grow, but they also do not improve.
Babies with the disease generally have very weak muscles, causing them to appear "floppy." A pointed, or dented, upper lip and inward rotation of one or both feet, known as clubfoot, are common physical signs of congenital DM1. Muscles that control breathing, swallowing, and sucking are affected. Infants with serious symptoms typically require neonatal intensive care.
Muscle tone usually improves during childhood, but progressive muscle wasting typically reappears later in life.
Juvenile-onset DM1
Unlike other forms of DM, initial signs of juvenile-onset DM1 typically involve social, cognitive and behavioral issues. Problems with visual-spatial processing and executive function, related to an inability to plan ahead and readily arrive at a decision, are commonly reported in children with this form of DM. Some display more severe cognitive disability than others, and may require special education. They may exhibit the communication problems typical of people with Asperger syndrome.
As these patients grow, they begin to show characteristic signs of muscle degeneration.
Adult-onset DM1
Adults with DM1 may experience symptoms of muscle wasting and muscle stiffness, or myotonia, in voluntary and involuntary muscles. Distal muscles, or those farthest from the center of the body, are usually most affected in DM1.
Myotonia in the hands and feet is usually the most noticeable and the first identifiable symptom of the disease. Stiff or contracted muscles can make it difficult for patients to open doors, write, and use tools, particularly in cold settings. Muscle weakness in the feet can cause patients to easily trip, due to incomplete flexion of lower leg muscles when walking. This is also known as foot drop.
Muscles in the head, neck, and face are also often affected, commonly resulting in limited facial expressions, droopy eyelids, and a hollow, thin facial structure. A patient may also have difficulty lifting the head, and stronger core muscles are often enlisted to assist in this task.
In some patients, weakness in muscles required for breathing and swallowing increases the risk of sleep apnea, choking, and aspiration (breathing in food or liquids).
Involuntary muscles, particularly those surrounding hollow organs, also tend to weaken with time, potentially causing digestive issues, difficulties in childbirth, and low blood pressure.
A person's ability to maintain a healthy heart rate can also be affected, although this symptom generally does not develop until the later stages of the disease.
Adults with DM1 commonly develop cataracts, but the connection between this eye condition and DM is not well understood. Premature balding is frequent in men with the disease.
Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2 (DM2)
DM2 almost exclusively develops in adults and is generally the milder of the two forms. Proximal muscles, or those closer to the center of the body, tend to be more affected in DM2. Patients typically show initial muscle weakness in the upper leg, or thigh, but may also experience such weakness in hand and wrist muscles, similar to DM1 patients.
Involuntary muscles are less affected in DM2 patients, although the cardiac disorders affecting heart rate can be common in DM2 patients, as are cataracts.

Mentioned in:
Naked in Baghdad by Anne Garrels and In the Company of Soldiers by Rick Atkinson
As the war in Iraq commenced what seems like ages ago with the frenetic coverage of embedded reporters and the televised firefights, I remember looking forward to reading some of the books that would inevitably come out of this media frenzy. In the nearly two years since there have been many of these books, some good and some bad. I recently read a couple of them. Actually I listened to Naked in Baghdad by NPR correspondent Anne Garrels on the long drive from Chicago to New York. The audiobook is read by Garrels and her husband Vint Lawrence. Garrels' strong, familiar voice added a lot to the experience. Though Garrels was one of just a handful of American journalists to stay in Baghdad during the run-up to war, the political and military machinations going on around her are just one element of the book. The meat of the book is devoted to her personal relationships with her fellow journalists, minders, drivers, and the myraid Iraqi officials who spent the regime's final days collecting bribe money. As an inside look into the harrowing life of a war correspondant, the book is brilliant, filled with menacing bad guys and explosions that are way too close for comfort. But Garrels is at her absolute best as she delves into the backroom politics of the world of the macho foreign correspondant. She revels in the fact that American television left Baghdad before the war, leaving only an old school contingent of print reporters to cover the invasion from the capital. She pulls no puches as she berates CNN's arrogance and Geraldo Rivera's foolishness. Her demand is for professionalism over sensationalism.Most journalists were forced by uncertainties in Baghdad to cover the war by embedding with American units as they invaded Iraq. Rick Atkinson was one of these embedded journalists, and his book, In the Company of Soldiers tells the story of his time with the Army's 101st Airborne Division. Aside from his duties with the Washington Post, Atkinson is also a military historian of some repute (his World War II book An Army at Dawn won a Pulitzer in 2003) and it shows. He is interested most in the tactics employed during the invasion and in the commanders who implemented them. Where Garrels delivers portraits of shady Iraqi bureaucrats and flamboyant European journalists, Atikinson's narrative is tied to Major General David Petraeus, a no-nonesense military man. The 101st, and Atkinson along with them, saw their share of action during those early days, but much of what transpired during those first weeks feels like a footnote — or ancient history — compared to all that has happened since. The most interesting parts of the book are the most personal. Atkinson's daily struggles against the harshness of the desert and the austerity of military life shine far more brightly than the methodical movements of the troops he travelled with. Both books take the US to task for fouling up the aftermath of the invasion, but where Garrels' concerns seem to arise from her daily interactions with Iraqis, Atkinson's epilogue seems hastily tacked on, an attempt to save the book from being made irrelevant by the nasty turn that this war has taken.RELATED: In October I met Anne Garrels, and I met Rick Atkinson in October 2003.

To the LAS Community,
My name is Kevin Rowen and I'm excited to be on board as the newest Editorial Intern here at LaxAllStars. Some of you probably recognize my name, as I've been around LAS for awhile now as a reader and commenter and for a little over a year as a writer on Southland Lax (while also dabbling in some gear reviews and MCLA talk). In the future you'll still see me around Southland, but you'll also get to know me a little better as I help out with different aspects of the site.
If you hadn't gathered from the all the Southland content, I'm a SoCal native, having played lacrosse here for almost ten years now. Born and raised an Angels and Lakers fan, I've always been a little disappointed with the whole lacrosse versus baseball feud. Growing up I used to go to a lot of (Mighty) Ducks games as well, and in my first few years of playing lacrosse I went to my fair share NLL games for the Anaheim Storm. I even made it up to a few LA Riptide games while they were around. Besides lacrosse, I like most types of music, probably watch more TV than I should, and like to spend my summers working with kids at both lacrosse and non-lacrosse related camps.
So how did I end up on Team LAS? Well, I started playing lacrosse in the 6th grade, and back then, lacrosse was still pretty small in SoCal. There wasn't a team for my age group in my city, so I went to play for a team in the next town. The next year I was able to play for my city, and over the following years the game started really to take off in Orange County. Lucky for me, my freshman year of high school was also the first year my school district sponsored varsity lacrosse. It wasn't until my senior year that my city had its own club team, but the Starz program (now officially Adrenaline Starz) offered multiple teams on which I was fortunate enough to play. Now, I go to UCLA and play attack for the Bruins.
Having seen the game grow in my own backyard over the last decade, working with LaxAllStars has been a great fit for me. I was ecstatic when Southland started up last year and jumped at the chance to help, offering my local insight into SoCal lacrosse. With the new internship program, I knew that I could help grow the game even more, and Jeff, Connor, and Krieg seemed to agree. It's an exciting time to be part of LAS, and I can't wait to interact more with the LAS community in the coming weeks and months.

Sami Yusuf is a British singer-songwriter, composer, producer and an accomplished musician. Endowed with a strong cultural affiliation to music; privileged with a musical background and having studied music with several renowned composers, including those from one of the world's most prestigious music institutes – the Royal Academy of Music in London, music is his destiny was unsurprising a prediction acquaintances would so confidently make.
Sami learned to play several musical instruments including the piano, violin, tar, tombak, santour, daf, tabla and oud to count a few, at a very young age. He bore the passion to etch a mark in the field of music, which he so indelibly did with the release of his groundbreaking debut album, Al-Muallim – an album composed, produced and sung by him.
A young, British-Muslim instantly became the talk of the town in lands as far and diverse as Egypt and Turkey. The album not only sold well over 3 million copies but also earned him a massive following in the Middle East, North African nations and South-East Asia.
Charmed by his good looks and manners so heart warming, the young amongst his fans would emulate what they saw in Sami, a leader. His fans wouldn't shy away from admitting Sami's music had changed their lives – for the better. Unheard of before, such an artist-fan tandem flourished with subsequent release of My Ummah, Sami's highly acclaimed second album selling well over 4 million copies.
Sami was soon headlining CNN, the BBC, ABC, Al Jazeerah, not to mention, every mainstream TV channel in the Middle East and Turkey. Hailed by Time magazine asIslam's biggest Rock Star and The most famous British Muslim in the World, by The Guardian, it was only a matter of time before sheer dynamism of what the media dubbed apopular act became the subject matter of think-tank studies. Transnational Broadcasting Studies, in two separate papers lauded Sami's state-of-the-art music videos a beacon of positivity and substance; his music an alternative and competitor to the mainstream Western music.
His success was soon acknowledged by the University of Roehampton in south-west London, as a result of which, Sami became the first and youngest Muslim recipient of the honorary Doctor of Letters award in recognition to his extraordinary contribution to music. His music not only filled the airwaves of London and LA but also penetrated effectively in the conservative Arabian Peninsula. A staggering 250,000 people packed Taksim Square in Istanbul, Turkey to see Sami perform. He's one of us, the crowds would claim proudly and sing along with Sami in his near-perfect Turkish. Sami has played across four continents, packing prestigious venues such as Wembley Arena in London, Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and The Velodrome in Cape Town, South Africa – this by all measures being a humble recollection. His shows are grand and highly personalized. His performances are trim and tightly focused, complete with singing in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Azeri and Malay and performance on a multitude of both classical and ethnic instruments. His penchant for multilingualism teamed with simplicity of conduct makes his style a statement, and his shows an experience of a lifetime.
Sami however, dismisses fame and glory. For him, his position as an artist is a sacred trust, a trust best honoured in serving humanity. He was relentless in assuming his responsibilities as the first, global ambassador of Silatech, a Qatar-based initiative promoting entrepreneurial skills and open access to capital and markets for large-scale job creation. His Live8 concert in Wembley Arena raised millions of pounds for the victims of the conflict-laden region of Darfur, praised by the British government in appreciation and recognition of the efforts. Sami took the initiative to work in close tandem with the UN sponsored charity, Save the Children, to help uplift morale of the victims of 2010 Pakistan floods by sending a message of hope and undying support through his charity single, Hear Your Call. The single became the mouthpiece of awareness campaigns led by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, BBC and the CNN.
Sami is one of the UK's biggest exports in the last decade. In the course of 7 years, he has masterfully navigated through unchartered waters – he has won over the hearts and minds of millions from across the Middle East, Europe, North America and North Africa. His compass, in principle, has been his self-coined genre – Spiritique. Manifested both musically and philosophically in his third album, Wherever You Are, Spiritique is a product of Sami's identity. A proud British-Muslim, Sami is a passionate advocate of unity and is boldly committed to cross-cultural appreciation through promotion of universal values and celebration of the human spirit. The aim is to bridge the gap between perceptions and sense of incompatibility, and to foster spiritual autonomy so we may usher into a new era of cooperation and coexistence. When different races stand side by side, when young and old, pious or agnostic, male or female sing in one voice; that's when Spiritique shines. An ambitious undertaking it may be to some. To many, it has already begun.

This is basically Episode 002 – but with a really new GIMP (and a more experienced screen caster). But before that I have some news for you about the future of the "Meet the GIMP" project and about the development of GIMP 2.7 and 2.8. I'll try to explain why we will NOT have 16 bit in 2.8 – and that the developers are not to blame for it. The comments from David Gowers are here and here.
The future of this project is brighter than ever. Philippe will be a regular contributor with his own show track. The forum is really getting off. I never had to interfere there because everybody is friendly and behaves. On the other hand nobody steps around on his toes. And a lot of answers are there before I come to read the question.
The show will go wide screen as in Episode 64, but we'll have a separate feed for mobile devices.
The funding is secure. In Episode 49 I had asked for donations. They are still coming in. I just paid the demorecorder license for Philippe from that money and have left enough to pay my 20€/month for the server well into January. If the funds are running out I'll give notice.
BTW, I don't publish donor names and amounts. I feel that such lists, especially sorted by amount, are humiliating. An amount easily spent by e.g. a German teacher with tenure is a high investment for people in other parts of the geographical or social map. Each donor gets a thank you mail from me as a receipt.
And there are more ways to donate to this project. Time for example. Spread the word about this on your blog or in forums where appropriate. Write comments or go to the forum. Or become a correspondent for the blog if you are stumbling over newsworthy stuff while surfing around on all the other graphics web sites.

Kanaan's AJ Foyt Racing-Chevrolet and Alexander Rossi's Andretti Autosport-Honda logged several runs to provide feedback to Firestone Racing, ahead of next February's official Spring Training at the Austin, TX track, and IndyCar's inaugural race there in late March.
Said Kanaan: "It's a fun racetrack – bit of a mix between Elkhart Lake, Laguna Seca and Sonoma.
"I've always watched races here. I came for the first Formula 1 race [in 2012], so I'm extremely excited that we're coming here.
"It's very challenging. It's the type of track that has very long, fast corners, slow corners, mid-speed corners, and it's hard to set up a car the way you really want it. And a lot of first-gear corners which gives an opportunity to pass, so hopefully…
"It's a big responsibility between Alex [Rossi] and I to do a tire test here and find the right tire for when we come back."
AJ Foyt Racing's primary race shop is in Waller, TX, two hours east of the 3.427-mile COTA track, and Larry Foyt said he was delighted to have another race in his home state, along with the DXC 600 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Foyt told Motorsport.com: "Absolutely, it's fantastic. It was great when we raced in Houston too, but going to Austin is smart. It's a good catchment area with Austin, San Antonio and Houston relatively nearby.
"I went to the first Formula 1 race at COTA but I hadn't been back since, and I've gotta say they've kept the whole facility in really great shape. It's really top notch.
"So to have Austin and Dallas on our schedule now, I think that's great – not just for us but for IndyCar, too. Love it."
Foyt said that the test had not been hugely helpful for the team because Firestone's need for data had required the team to keep the car's behavior reasonably consistent throughout the day in order to establish a baseline.
"With tire testing, you're running through Firestone's program rather than your own," he observed, "although any time you're on track you can learn something.
"But we understand because Tony gives really good feedback on tires and it ultimately helps us all when the series comes back next year. That was our focus."
Kanaan and rookie teammate Matheus Leist finished only 16th and 18th in the championship last season, with Kanaan landing the team's best result – a sixth place in Toronto. Foyt said that while permanent road courses were where the team lacked most, it wasn't altogether unexpected.
"Yeah, I think road courses were our weak spot in 2018, but we knew from the first test at Barber that would be the case," he said. "We just didn't have a great package. I think early in the year we were actually quite good – strong at St. Pete, Phoenix and obviously at Indy we were really good, led a lot of laps. I think we could have finished in the top three without the puncture.
"But that was the problem to be honest – we hadn't capitalized on the good days, and then some engineering changes after the 500 put us on the back foot for the rest of the year. We'd put a lot of emphasis on Indy and it showed, but then it also showed in a less positive way at some of the other tracks. Tony felt we had some decent street course cars, but… you know what IndyCar is like – you can be off by three or four tenths and it feels huge because that's eight places on the grid.
"So we're looking at engineering options over the offseason and if you're not on your A game all the time especially when it comes to learning a new car."

Mobile Marketing Messages That Keep Your Customers Engaged
Mobile marketing can be a very personal marketing move for your business. It involves particular needs of your company, along with personal techniques and applications. This vast world has so many techniques, applications, codes, etc. that it can seem a bit confusing as to where you need to begin. These tips can help you make sense of the confusion.
Information you send out has to be meaningful if you expect to receive a meaningful response. Little reminders about nothing but your existence are annoying. So if you're contacting someone via mobile marketing, make sure that you have a worthy cause for doing so. It's not a lot to ask.
Learn to think like your audience does, and make your mobile marketing campaign all about them. You may only have a second or two to capture their attention, and you need to convince them quickly that you have something that they want. Use social media to find out what they are talking about, and then try and fulfill their needs.
Use scannable QR codes to introduce your brand to customers. Link a QR code with a discount or coupon that is only found on the mobile application, product information, short video or another relevant item of value to the user. This is effective at getting customers familiar with your brand.
Do not neglect mobile marketing. The market is growing and changing everyday. You have to find new ways to reach out to your audience. Mobile marketing is not a novelty, it is a necessity, if you want to see your business grow. If you have never done any kind of mobile marketing before, you should start now.
Try to set a budget and stick to it if you want to market effectively. Shooting past your budget can quickly cause your campaign to fall apart, if only because you may start to change how you handle things due to a fear of money. Work meticulously to stay within your budget for mobile marketing success.
Don't forget to add tracking capabilities into your mobile marketing! Just because the screen is smaller, doesn't mean it is less important. Add tracking extensions to the hyperlinks you are using in mobile marketing campaigns and look into various mobile services that offer robust tracking capabilities for a plethora of mobile tactics.
Weigh your competition. Have a family member or friend sign up to a mobile subscription of a competitor. Doing this will give you an inside look as to how their program operates, and let you know what you can do that will outperform them. Doing this before you actually start your campaign will give you a strong edge.
Take advantage of everything a mobile device has to offer. Innovation is happening very quickly in the mobile marketing arena, and much of it is driven by the quick innovation occurring in mobile hardware. Look at what the new devices have to offer and add their new abilities into your mobile marketing tactics. Just in the last two years, new hardware innovations that have affected mobile marketing have included front-facing cameras, location awareness and high definition video recording.
While mobile marketing can be a very personal marketing move for your business, it does share the main goal of helping your business grow. As you have seen in these tips, there are various approaches, but they are all created around the idea of helping you have a successful business.

The expedient and scalable approach to cardiotonic steroids carrying oxygenation at the C11- and C19- positions has been developed and applied to the total asymmetric synthesis of steroids 19-hydroxysarmentogenin and trewianin aglycone as well as to the assembly of the panogenin core. and substantially improves the accessibility to the entire class of cardenolides and their derivatives for biological evaluation. and Rabbit Polyclonal to MOV10L1. configuration of the AB ring junction found in steroids 2 3 and 1D (Scheme 4). Thus 4 can be subjected to a 3-4 step Ponatinib sequences to provide diastereomeric scaffolds 16 17 and 18 which are precursors to 2 1 and 3 correspondingly. The C19 hydroxyl-directed hydrogenation of 4 to Ponatinib establish the selective. However based on the trends observed by Knox product 18 (61% yield >20:1 dr 3 steps). Scheme 4 Elaboration of intermediate 4 into precursors of 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2) panogenin (1D) and trewianin (3)a With these results in hand we demonstrated that the outlined Ponatinib strategy is applicable to the synthesis of fully functionalized cardiotonic steroids by elaborating 16 and 18 into 2 and 3 (Scheme 5). The C3 ketone of 16 was selectively reduced with K-selectride and the resulting product was subjected to protection (TBSOTf Et3N) to provide 19 (73% yield 2 steps). With the exception of the C19 protecting group (TIPS vs TBS) 19 is identical to the corresponding intermediate previously synthesized by the Inoue group in their studies toward 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2).7 The C11-ketone moiety of 19 was subjected to the reduction and the resulting α-C11 alcohol-containing product was converted to iodide 20 via a 3-step sequence (66% yield). Iodide 20 was then cross-coupled with the known stannane 21 to provide protected cardenolide 22 in 92% yield. With this key intermediate the remaining β-C17 stereocenter was installed by global TMS-protection of 22 followed by hydrogenation over Pd/C (2.7:1 dr). Finally the complete removal of the protecting groups was accomplished with hydrofluoric acid to provide 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2) in 27% yield from 22 (3 steps). Scheme 5 Stereodivergent conversion of intermediates 16 and 18 into (+)-19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2) and (+)-trewianin aglycone (3) The 1H and 13C NMR spectral data as well as other physical properties of 2 were identical in all respects to the corresponding Ponatinib data previously reported by the Inoue group.7 In addition the obtained specific optical rotation value for 2 (i.e. [α]D23= 13 c = 0.1 MeOH) was in good agreement with the reported value ([α]D23= 17 c = 0.45 MeOH). Similarly trans-AB ring-containing intermediate 18 was subjected to highly diastereoselective reduction with LiAlH(OtBu)3 followed by TBS protection to provide 23 in 84% yield (2 steps). The subsequent reduction with Li/NH3 followed by deprotection with TBAF and installation of the vinyl iodide moiety (N2H4/I2) resulted in vinyl iodide 24 (76% yield 3 steps). The cross-coupling of 24 and 21 resulted in efficient formation of 25 (93% yield) which was subjected to a 3-step protection/reduction/deprotection sequence to provide 3 (39% yield 3 steps). Similar to the 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2) case the hydrogenation of protected 25 resulted in a 2.5:1 mixture of the β-C17: α-C17 diastereomeric products and the major diastereomer (β-C17) was isolated prior to the deprotection in 54% yield. The spectroscopic data for 3 were in good agreement with the spectroscopic data obtained for trewianin17 and 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2). CONCLUSION In summary a concise enantioselective approach to C11- and C19- oxygenated cardenolides has been developed. This approach features a rapid (7 linear steps 9 total steps) enantioselective synthesis of functionalized intermediate 4 which is the key building block in the synthesis of various natural cardenolides. The utility of this building block is demonstrated in the synthesis 19-hydroxysarmentogenin (2) and trewianin aglycone (3) cardenolides epimeric at the C5 position. The studies on the further diversification of 4 and conversion of it to C1- and C5- oxygenated cardenolides and bufadienolides are ongoing in our laboratory. ?

Fire closes Carlstadt Post Office
Associated Press
CARLSTADT – Officials have closed the Carlstadt Post Office following an early-morning fire.
Post office boxes and mail pick-up are being transferred to the East Rutherford Post Office at 193 Park Avenue. Home delivery is not affected.
Fire Chief Rob Popejoy tells WNBC-TV the flames broke out near the roof of the building on First Street around 1:30 a.m. Thursday. The post office is on the ground floor and an electrical supply store is on the top floor.
Firefighters say the top floor sustained heavy fire damage and the post office had water damage.
Popejoy says work was being done on the roof on Wednesday, but it's not clear what caused the fire.
Two firefighters sustained minor injuries.

|Jocelynn Johnston
From her first acting role in elementary school, Jocelynn Johnston was hooked. She knew her passion was performing on the stage.
Her love for acting grew at Grossmont College, where she appeared in several plays while taking Theatre Arts classes. The last play in which Johnston appeared, Clybourne Park, only had one performance before the college campus shut down in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Johnston, 21, hasn't let the pandemic stop her from performing. She recently appeared in Breathtaking, a play put on over Zoom by Moxie Theatre and Common Ground Theatre. Johnston, a June 2020 Grossmont College graduate, portrayed a student about to graduate who is talking to her mother on Zoom because the mother, suffering from COVID-19, is quarantined.
"It was so weird not being in the same room with the other actor," Johnston said. "When you're performing on stage, you can feed off the energy of the audience. On Zoom, you don't know if a joke landed or if the audience is even enjoying the play."
Johnston was around eight years when she got her first acting role as the narrator in Charlotte's Web. Her love of acting developed quickly.
"I love that I can create a character from nothing," she said. "I can use a character to tell a story to an audience and make them feel a certain way and make them think about their own thoughts and behavior."
Johnston began attending Grossmont College after graduating from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. She said Grossmont College seemed like a good alternative when she realized she couldn't afford to attend the arts schools to which she had applied.
"The arts at Grossmont College are so good," she said. Asked to name her favorite instructors, she listed the entire Theatre Arts Department faculty and staff.
"Grossmont has been amazing for me," she said. "I've learned so much and developed so much."
Johnston will be attending the University of California at Irvine in the fall. Classes will be offered online, and she has already auditioned and gotten a callback for a play to be performed online at the university. She hopes to focus her acting career in the theatre.
"I love the craft and I want to do this," Johnston said. "I love being on stage."

A Starting Point...At The Finish Line
It's over. I completed the Chicago Marathon in 3:36:48. Happy that I finished strong having never run that distance before. A little disappointed also. I felt a sub 3:30 was certainly possible but I made a critical mistake prior to the start of the race: I stood to far towards the back of the pack. I knew this might be a problem but I assumed there would be open running lanes that would allow me to move up quickly. Nope. People were running shoulder-to-shoulder and I exhausted a ton of energy criss crossing from one side of the road to the other trying to pass. Whenever an open curb presented itself (like in the Lincoln Park area), I raced up on the curb and passed dozens of people before jumping back into the stream at the next obstruction. I did not anticipate the running pack would be this dense. I bet I passed well over 20,000 people along my race. I was never able to recover my time enough to challenge 3:30. Next time, I'll know better. Still, I'm very pleased to have finished with a sense that I could do even better. That is a nice feeling and one to carry into the next marathon. So, at my finish line, I found a starting point on what to improve on for the next one.

Awesome job on your debut marathon.
Shall we do that one again? I'm most definitely in for next year. :)
I know you and Mike want to tackle Bayshore this coming May. I may have to consider that, although after looking at the results, I'd be lucky to NOT be dead last in my age division.

You ran your first marathon in 3:36:48?????? Wow! I'm so jealous. Mine was almost exactly 2hours longer than yours....LOL...but I am not ashamed! I had the best time and met so many wonderful people along the way. My next one will be taken quite a bit more seriously! I hope. I tend to act like a dog in a car with it's head out the window taking in all the sights, sounds and smells when I run! Haha!!

Cole Miller is one of the UFC's top lightweight contenders. He had a beautiful win over BJJ phenom and instructor Jorge Gurgel back In July at UFC 86. Recently, Cole just came off a knee surgery which most likely helped him find the time during recovery to update and revamp his website, www.colemiller.com.
Cole has also started a new video series called "The Cole Miller Show" which can also be viewed regularly on his site. What makes this concept unique is that he lives with two other well-known fighters: his brother Micah Miller of WEC fame and the house jester Blake Bowman, one of the stars of TUF 6. With that crew of personalities, there is no telling what kind of antics we may see. Here is episode 1 of "The Cole Miller Show":

They were flying, jumping, hula hooping, peek-a-booing and hiding in moving boxes. What a session!!!
I had a pleasure to photograph this fun to work with family right after their baby No.2 was born (pictures from that session HERE).
This time we met for a session that would capture the memories about their neighborhood, their favorite park, their favorite spot at their house (a couch, lol), and a few other things that will remind them about the place they used to live for a long time.
We had so much fun, I couldn't stop photographing them:

Video: "The Prado: It's History and Future" by David A. Kubiak, North End / Waterfront Residents' Association's Parks and Open Space Committee
On Thursday, May 17, 2012, the Old North Church hosted a three part public lecture, "The Paul Revere Mall: History, Art and Community".
In the first part of the lecture, shown in this video, David A. Kubiak presents "The Prado: It's History, and Future." Kubiak is a longtime North End resident and represents the North End/ Waterfront Residents' Association Parks and Open Spaces Committee. His talk focused on the history, vision and landscape design of the Paul Revere Mall, called "The Prado" by the local community. Introducing the lecture was Rev. Stephen T. Ayres, Vicar of the Old North Church and member of the Friends of the Prado.
The second part featured Rebecca Reynolds, American Art Curator presenting "Arrested Motion: Cyrus Dallin's Statue of Paul Revere" by Rebecca Reynolds (Video) and Alex Goldfeld, North End Historical Society President, presenting "The Pride of Later Generations: North End History Remembered in the Prado."
This lecture follows a successful April 29, 2012 outdoor celebration. The two events are intended to raise a new consciousness about the importance of the Paul Revere Mall for its historical, public and community value. The event sponsors are actively promoting investment in the Mall in order to restore the physical integrity of the space to Shurcliff's original design and to see a revitalization of the park as both a historical monument and a beautiful open space for neighborhood and visitor gathering and reflection.
Sponsors: Old North Church, Cyrus Dallin Art Museum, Paul Revere Memorial Association, North End Historical Society, North End / Waterfront Residents' Association, and Friends of the Prado.
