Q: Is there a Python function to calculate the diff based on the first element? I have a pandas dataframe, like this example:
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'steps': ['step1','step2', 'step3', 'step4','step5'],
    'qty': [100, 95, 92, 87, 78]},
    index=[0,1,2,3,4])

I would like to calculate the percentage of abandonments in each step, based on the first value.
Output:
Steps   qty Tx %
Step1   100 0,00%
Step2   95  5,00%
Step3   92  3,00%
Step4   87  5,00%
Step5   78  9,00%

I thought about using pd.pct_change(), but it doesn't work as expected.
The manual calculation would be something like:

values = [(1 - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])]

However, I believe that this is not scalable, especially considering increasing the number of steps or time periods.
Could someone help me think of some function or show a rationale that can make this calculation simpler?

A: You can use pd.Series.shift to shift the qty column one element down. Then simply calculate the difference between the shifted column and itself:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'steps': ['step1','step2', 'step3', 'step4','step5'],
    'qty': [100, 95, 92, 87, 78],
})

df['Tx %'] = df.qty.shift() - df.qty
print(df)

# output:
#    steps  qty  Tx %
# 0  step1  100   NaN
# 1  step2   95   5.0
# 2  step3   92   3.0
# 3  step4   87   5.0
# 4  step5   78   9.0

A: This works:
# you have
values = [(1 - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]),
          (1 - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])]

# 1s cancel out, so the above is equivalent to
values = [( - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          ( - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]),
          ( - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]),
          ( - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]),
          ( - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])]

# since every element is divided by df['qty'][0], you can take it out, so the above is equivalent to
values = [( - df['qty'][0] + df['qty'][0]) / df['qty'][0],
          ( - df['qty'][1] + df['qty'][0]) / df['qty'][0],
          ( - df['qty'][2] + df['qty'][1]) / df['qty'][0],
          ( - df['qty'][3] + df['qty'][2]) / df['qty'][0],
          ( - df['qty'][4] + df['qty'][3]) / df['qty'][0]]

#the RHS is the LHS shifted one level down, so it's equivalent to:
values = (- df['qty'] + df['qty'].shift()).fillna(0) / df['qty'][0]

# in summary
df['Tx %'] = (df['qty'].shift() - df['qty']).fillna(0) / df['qty'][0] * 100
   steps  qty  Tx %
0  step1  100   0.0
1  step2   95   5.0
2  step3   92   3.0
3  step4   87   5.0
4  step5   78   9.0

A: This response my doubt:
df['Tx %'] = round(((1 - df.qty / df.qty[0]) - (1- df.qty.shift() / df.qty[0]))*100, 2)

LanguagesWhat Can wxPython Do?
What Can wxPython Do?
By Noel Rappin
Nearly all of your interface needs can be filled by wxPython. In this section, we'll show you what some of the wxPython toolkit looks like, using pictures from elements of the wxPython demo application. Figure 1 is a composite image showing all the basic widgets you'd expect: buttons, checkboxes, a combo box, menus, list box, a spinner control, text controls and radio buttons.
Figure 2 shows less common, but very useful widgets, including a slider control, an editable list box, a time selector, a toolbar, a notebook control, a tree list control, and an analog clock.
The grid control is one of wxPython's most flexible widgets, allowing custom rendering and editing of cells. Figure 3 shows an example of many of the features of the grid control.
And that's not all-you also get a quite fully featured HTML-rendering widget that you can use for static styled text, as the base of a simple web browser, as a help system, or anything else you might want to display HTML for. An example is shown in figure 4.
We've only just scratched the surface. The wxPython library also includes tools for image animation. You also get clipboard and drag-and-drop support, support

Figure 2. More advanced interface controls, including a tree list and an analog clock.

Figure 4. The wx.HTMLWindow, showing some of the HTML rendering capability.
for MIME types and audio, all the standard dialogs offered by your system, the ability to specify an interface definition in an XML file, full control over the layout of your windows, and more.
Why choose wxPython?
The most powerful benefit of wxPython depends on your needs and expertise. While we think that all user interface (UI) programmers would benefit from using wxPython, the specific features that are most helpful will vary from case to case.
Python programmers
If you are already a Python programmer, you've probably noticed that Tkinter, the interface toolkit distributed with Python, has some problems:
Tkinter is based on the Tk toolkit, which is somewhat out-of-date in terms of the kinds of widgets it supports. By default, it doesn't support more complex widgets such as tree controls or tabbed windows. It also doesn't have a particularly rich set of predefined dialogs.
The Tk toolkit does not use native widget support, resulting in an application that looks foreign on all platforms. In wxPython, dialogs and widgets will look like those that are standard on the underlying operating system. Your Tk user will find that buttons, fonts, and menus all look slightly different from what might be expected.
Many programmers find Tkinter itself somewhat clunky to work with. In particular, the process by which events are translated to actions in wxPython is more flexible and powerful.
You'll find that wxPython solves these problems. The toolkit in wxPython is vastly more complete and extensive than that of Tkinter and the native widget support means your application will look at home in your operating system. Additionally, the Python language support is more fluid in wxPython, making for a somewhat nicer programming experience.
wxWidget users
If you are already using wxWidgets, then what wxPython has to offer you is the Python language itself. With its clear syntax, dynamic typing, and flexible object model, Python can improve your productivity dramatically. Python has a very extensive standard library that is easily incorporated into your application, and Python programs tend to be shorter and less error-prone than C++ programs. There are also a number of Python-only additions to the wxWidgets tool set.
If you're not currently using either Python or wxWidgets, you're in for a real treat, since you'll get the benefit of both the extensive toolkit and the Python language. If you are currently working in Java/Swing, you'll probably find wxPython less complex and easier to use, and the Python language significantly less verbose than Java. If you are currently using a single-platform C++ toolkit like the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), then you'll appreciate the cross-platform nature of wxPython. In order to follow the examples in this book, however, some Python familiarity is helpful. If you need to get started on Python itself, try The Quick Python Book, by Daryl Harms and Kenneth McDonald.
In the next section, you'll learn about the component pieces of wxPython: the Python language itself, and the wxWidgets toolkit. You'll also learn about the rationale and implementation of wxPython itself.
How wxPython works
In the previous section, we talked about what wxPython can do. In this section, we'll take a closer look at how wxPython works. Internally, wxPython is a wrapper or interface for a popular C++ interface toolkit called wxWidgets. The wxWidgets project has a long history and is the source of most of the functionality of wxPython. Using wxPython allows you to get the benefits of the wxWidgets toolkit, while being able to use Python rather than C++.
The wxPython toolkit is the combination of two distinct pieces of software, which have over 25 years of development between them. In addition, the wxPython toolkit itself was the result of a significant amount of work. To make wxPython go, a tool called SWIG is used to generate wrapper functions, or glue code, which allow a Python program to use the C++ wxWidgets library just as if it were any old Python library. Although SWIG does a lot of the work, there's still some hand-tooling needed to make the wxPython objects look and act like other Python objects.
There have also been several additional widgets written directly in wxPython that are not available in the C++ version of the tool-you'll encounter several of them along the way in this book.
In this section we will provide a brief overview of the Python programming language and the wxWidgets C++ toolkit. It is the combination of Python's ease of use and wxWidgets' range of functionality that gives wxPython its unique power.
The Python language
Python is a programming language which is easily able to handle both the scripting tasks normally associated with Perl and the full-scale application development normally associated with C++ or Java. Using a simple, elegant, concise, syntax and a clean, consistent, semantic model, Python allows programmers to easily combine simple pieces to make a complex whole.
Throughout the rest of this book, it's assumed that you have a good working knowledge of Python, and are familiar with basic concepts such as how Python implements objects and classes. You don't need to be a Python expert to read this book, but ordinary Python language constructs are not explained in the discussion of the wxPython examples. If you need more background information on Python, the Python web site contains an excellent tutorial and other documentation at www.python.org/doc.
One important Python feature is the interactive interpreter, which can be very helpful in exploring the language and in debugging programs. If Python is installed and on your path, you can access the interpreter by entering python at a command prompt. You'll then see >>> , which is the Python command prompt. From there, you can enter any Python expression, and its value will be displayed on the screen. For example:
Python 2.3.3c1 (#50, Dec 4 2003, 21:27:34) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
>>> 2 + 2
>>> 10 / 3
>>> zip(['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3])
[('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)]
In this short session, I did a couple of simple arithmetic functions, then used the Python built-in function zip(), to combine two lists into an associated list. You can do anything from the interpreter that you can do in a standalone Python program, including import modules, define functions, and define classes.
The wxWidgets toolkit
The other base component of wxPython is the wxWidgets toolkit. At base, wxWidgets is a GUI framework implemented in C++, which means it is a set of C++ classes that encapsulate a wide range of features. Although the primary use of wxWidgets is for UI applications, it also contains useful features for C++ programmers including C++ implementations of data structures not supported in ANSI C++, such as strings and hashtables, as well as interfaces for system features like sockets and threads. Since these features and others are already available in the Python language or standard library, wrappers for these wxWidgets classes are not provided in wxPython and you should use the Python equivalents instead. For the most part wxPython only provides wrappers for the GUI classes in wxWidgets. The goal of wxWidgets is to allow a C++ program to compile and run on all supported platforms with only minor changes to the source from platform to platform, and a reasonably consistent look and feel between the platforms.
Here's a sample C++ wxWidgets program, taken from Robert Roebling's tutorial on the wxWidgets site. This creates a blank window with a two-element menu, Quit and About. This is being shown primarily for comparison with the Python examples we'll be seeing throughout the book.
Listing 1. A simple Hello World program in C++ wxWidgets
#include "wx/wx.h"
class MyApp: public wxApp {
virtual bool OnInit();
class MyFrame: public wxFrame {
MyFrame(const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos,
const wxSize& size);
void OnQuit(wxCommandEvent& event);
void OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& event);
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
ID_Quit = 1,
ID_About,
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
EVT_MENU(ID_Quit, MyFrame::OnQuit)
EVT_MENU(ID_About, MyFrame::OnAbout)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp)
bool MyApp::OnInit() {
MyFrame *frame = new MyFrame("Hello World", wxPoint(50,50),
wxSize(450,340));
frame->Show(TRUE);
SetTopWindow(frame);
MyFrame::MyFrame(const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos,
const wxSize& size)
: wxFrame((wxFrame *)NULL, -1, title, pos, size) {
wxMenu *menuFile = new wxMenu;
menuFile->Append( ID_About, "&About..." );
menuFile->AppendSeparator();
menuFile->Append( ID_Quit, "E&xit" );
wxMenuBar *menuBar = new wxMenuBar;
menuBar->Append( menuFile, "&File" );
SetMenuBar( menuBar );
CreateStatusBar();
SetStatusText( "Welcome to wxWidgets!" );
Listing 1.4 A simple Hello World program in C++ wxWidgets
void MyFrame::OnQuit(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event)) {
Close(TRUE);
void MyFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event)) {
wxMessageBox("This is a wxWidgets Hello world sample",
"About Hello World", wxOK | wxICON_INFORMATION, this);
If you're familiar with C++, you probably noticed that something is missing. Usually, C++ programs have a function named main() which is the starting point for the program. In wxWidgets, the macro IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp) automatically sets up a default main()which manages initialization of the wxWidget program.
As with most cross-platform interface kits, the classes and methods visible to the programmer are actually proxies for a set of subclasses. Typically there is a subclass for each platform that wxWidgets runs under, and the subclass specific to the current platform is automatically used. As of this writing, these are the most significant supported platforms:
Gnome Toolkit (GTK+), which is applicable on most modern Unix systems
For each platform, wxWidgets attempts to use native widgets and features where applicable, and generally tries to emulate the native look and feel. In this way, wxWidgets avoids the "least common denominator" problem that cross-platform toolkits frequently have.
If you are familiar with any other large-scale object-oriented interface toolkit, such as MFC or Java Swing, the basic structure of wxWidgets should feel largely similar. One difference from some toolkits is that wxWidgets does not make a class distinction between widgets that can contain other widgets and ones that can't. (The way that, for example, Java Swing has a JComponent and JContainer class). The mechanism for adding child widgets is built into the wxWindowbase class so that it is potentially available to all widgets, whether or not they are typically thought of as containers. Typically, though, widgets that are not containers prevent you from using this behavior (you can't put a dialog box inside a button, for example).
Development of wxWidgets goes back farther than you might think. The project was begun in 1992 by Julian Smart, at the University of Edinburgh's Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute. Smart was trying to build an application that could run on both Unix and Windows, and the existing commercial toolkits were prohibitively expensive, so he wrote his own. The name wxWidgets refers to the two original platforms-"w" for Microsoft Windows and "x" for Unix X server. The original version was written in terms of MFC, for the Windows version, and XView on Unix, but that quickly gave way to more general libraries for each platform as XView was replaced by the Motif toolkit, and MFC was replaced with direct calls to the Windows API. In 1997, the entire system was built with a more flexible API, and the GTK+ version became the standard Unix port soon after. The Macintosh port came on board the next year. More recent developments in the wxWidget side include a Unix library which is not dependent on a pre-existing toolkit, and ports for handheld systems.
Python is not the only language which has a binding library for wxWidgets, although it has the largest user community of the group. The wxWidgets web site links to projects with support for Ada, Basic, C#, Eiffel, Euphoria, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Lua, Perl, and Ruby, although we make no claims for the robustness or level of support of any of those ports.
Putting it together: the wxPython toolkit
While both Python and wxWidgets are pretty great on their own, they combine to create an even greater whole, like peanut butter and chocolate. The flexibility of the Python language makes wxPython much easier to develop in than its C++ counterpart, while the native C++ code of wxWidgets gives the Python GUI both the speed and native look and feel it would otherwise lack. Table 1 gives a sample of some issues that are difficult to manage in C++ but easy, if not trivial, in Python.
Table 1. Developing in C++ versus developing in wxPython
C++ environment wxPython environment
Memory management handled by programmer Memory management handled by Python
Static typing makes polymorphism difficult Dynamic typing makes polymorphism easy
Program reflection very limited Program reflection easy, allowing for powerful abstraction
Unable to use functions as arguments easily Functions can be passed around like any other variable
Compilation cycle needed before each run Program interpreted at runtime
Here is an example of how the two tools interact. In the previous section, we showed you a "hello world" example in C++ wxWidgets. Listing 2 shows the same example translated basically line-by-line into wxPython.
Listing 2. A simple Hello World program in wxPython
import wx
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = MyFrame("Hello World", (50, 60), (450, 340))
frame.Show()
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, title, pos, size):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, title, pos, size)
menuFile = wx.Menu()
menuFile.Append(1, "&About...")
menuFile.AppendSeparator()
menuFile.Append(2, "E&xit")
menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
menuBar.Append(menuFile, "&File")
self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
self.CreateStatusBar()
self.SetStatusText("Welcome to wxPython!")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnAbout, id=1)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnQuit, id=2)
def OnQuit(self, event):
self.Close()
def OnAbout(self, event):
wx.MessageBox("This is a wxPython Hello world sample",
"About Hello World", wx.OK | wx.ICON_INFORMATION, self)
app = MyApp(False)
app.MainLoop()
There are two high-level things that we'd like to point out about the wxPython example compared to the wxWidgets C++ one (beyond merely the difference between the two languages).
First, notice that wxPython does not have the automatic macro for creating a main starting point, and must do so explicitly at the end of this module.
Second, the mechanism for associating events with the code to be executed is different between the two programs. Since Python allows functions to be passed easily around as objects, the wxPython program can use the relatively straightforward wx.Bind() methods to do the associating dynamically at runtime. The C++ program must use the DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE and BEGIN_EVENT_TABLEmacros, which do the binding statically at compile time and are somewhat more awkward.
Beyond those changes, the two programs are quite similar line by line-we find the Python version more readable, though. As you'll see, Python becomes more of an advantage in larger programs, due to its simpler syntax, automatic memory management, and so forth. At this point it's worth mentioning that wxPython did not come about by accident. It was developed to fill a specific need for a cross-platform rapid development environment. It has prospered and advanced because of the continued efforts of programmers who need rapid GUI development.
Development of wxPython and wxWidgets continues. Ongoing projects include support for mobile devices and better multimedia support. The most current version of wxPython is available at www.wxpython.org.
You can create a minimal wxPython program in less than 10 lines of code. Most wxPython programs are much longer than 10 lines, and are typically divided into separate modules, each containing customized subclasses of wxPython classes, and, hopefully, plenty of docstrings.
Most of the wxPython toolkit is accessed through the wx package which you access using the import wx statement. Every wxPython program must have an application object-an instance of a wx.App subclass that defines an OnInit() method. Most wxPython programs will have one or more frames- instances of subclasses of wx.Frame. A frame is the large, movable, resizeable window-like container that appears on screen, often with a menu, status bar, tool bars, and other widgets. Control of your program passes to wxPython when you call your application's MainLoop()method.
Within wxPython are all the basic widgets you would expect, plus common dialogs, a wide variety of more complex widgets, HTML rendering, spreadsheet- style grids, and so forth. The wxWidgets toolkit that wxPython is based on is a C++ framework with a large list of features. It is a cross-platform toolkit, with most support for Microsoft Windows, Unix GTK+, and the Mac OS. The basic unit of a wxWidgets application is the window, meaning any item that can be drawn to the screen.
The wxPython toolkit is a combination of the Python programming language and the wxWidgets toolkit and can be downloaded at www. wxpython.org. It combines a very extensive interface toolkit with an easy-touse scripting language. It offers productivity gains and useful features for any programmer, including existing Python or wxWidgets programmers.
The wxPython version of the toolkit is a wrapper around wxWidgets containing bindings which allow Python language constructs to interact with the C++ framework. These bindings are largely created from the SWIG tool, from a long list of descriptions of how Python objects and C++ objects relate to each other.

Kansas Wesleyan women's basketball coach Ryan Showman said his team had the best practices of the year going into Wednesday's showdown against Tabor.
It showed right away as the Coyotes scored the first 22 points of the game in the first quarter and cruised from there to upend No. 16 Tabor 65-55 in Hillsboro. Wesleyan downed the Bluejays in back-to-back contests for the first time since 2010-11.
While the scoreboard lit up with points, it was Wesleyan's defense that started the barrage. The Coyotes forced nine of Tabor's 20 turnovers in the first quarter, shell-shocking the Bluejays in a 26-4 period. Tabor cut the deficit to 14 late in the half before a last-second shot by sophomore Courtney Heinen to give KWU a 38-22 advantage.
Wesleyan pushed the margin back to 20 after a three by sophomore Kayla Vallin with 1:23 to play in the third. Tabor's final charge was led by freshman Sammy Jo Peterson, who hit two triples with a bucket sandwiched in the middle to start the fourth. Vallin put the game out of reach with her second three to make it 63-48, completing the upset.
Heinen had team-high honors with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Freshman Virja Lewis poured in 12 points with just one missed shot. Senior Taryn Frazier was rock solid in her first start of the season, adding 11 points and five rebounds in 14 minutes.
KWU improved to 10-9, 7-4 in the KCAC. The Coyotes welcome the York Panthers on Saturday with pregame at 4:45 on FM 104.9.
Much like the KWU women, the Tabor Bluejays turned to their defense to set the tone.
Tabor forced 14 turnovers and cashed those in for 18 points to build a 35-24 halftime lead. After closing the first half on an 8-2 run, the Coyotes used a 12-2 spurt to bring the margin down to 43-36 with a little over 12 minutes to play.
The Bluejays responded by holding the Coyotes without a field goal, pushing their advantage to 16. KWU had one final charge, slimming the deficit to nine with 3:45 to play, but the Coyotes were held scoreless the rest of the way.
Junior Ernest Carter paced the Coyotes with 12 points and six rebounds in the second half. Tabor senior Julian Winton matched his season average with 21 points.
Wesleyan fell to 9-8, 7-4 in KCAC play. The Coyotes battle the York Panthers on Saturday.


Have you checked the logs? i.e. "docker logs iristest2" Also it looks like when you are defining your ICM_SENTINEL_DIR environment variable you are using "--e" and not "-e". I'm pretty sure you need to use either "-e" or "--env"
When I tweak the script slightly I get the following error, putting both --env options before the image name.

Court of Appeals: What Lippman Inherited (Part 3 - Criminal Law Voting: Who's been in the Majority?)
The Court Before Lippman
Criminal Law Voting: Frequency in Majority
Now-retired Chief Judge Judith Kaye was part of the Court's majority in the non-unanimous criminal decisions more often than any of her colleagues in recent years. A review of all the criminal law cases (41) over the past 3 years in which at least one Judge dissented (or separately concurred on the basis of a substantial disagreement with the majority) reveals that Kaye voted in the majority most frequently, and Judge Eugene Pigott the least. And the margin was significant. Almost 2 to 1.
Between Kaye and Pigott, the remaining 5 Judges voted at different--if not so drastically different--rates in the majority. Here's a look at the full spectrum in order of frequency.
Criminal Law Voting: Frequency in Majority (Descending Order)
As GRAPH 2 illustrates, 4 Judges--Kaye, Susan Read, Carmen Ciparick, and Victoria Graffeo--voted in the majority at similarly high rates. At the other side of the spectrum, Pigott and Judge Robert Smith were part of the Court's majority the least often. Judge Theodore Jones' rate of majority voting falls between the two groups.
The Judges' rates of frequency in the majority take on added significance when considered in light of the the Court's ideological spectrum. Indeed, it all becomes particularly curious.
As discussed and illustrated in the previous 2 posts in this series in the New York Court Watcher, there is a wide ideological spectrum in the Judges' pro-prosecution and pro-defendant voting in criminal cases. Additionally, there are 3 ideological pairings among the 6 Judges that remain on the Court (i.e., now Lippman's colleagues). Relative to each other, these 3 pairings are unmistakably liberal (pro-defendant), conservative (pro-prosecution), and centrist (midway between the other 2). (See Court of Appeals: What Lippman Inherited (Part 2 - Criminal Law Voting Spectrum), March 19, 2009; (Part 1-Criminal Law Voting), March 8, 2009.)
Let's combine the data on majority voting and the ideological pairings in a single graph. Here it is.
Lippman's New Colleagues
Criminal Law Voting: Frequency in Majority (By Ideological pairings)
What the GRAPH 3 vividly shows is that the centrist pairing of Smith and Pigott has the lowest rates of voting with the majority. Now that is fascinating.
Think of the centrists on the United States Supreme Court. Justices Anthony Kennedy and, before him, Sandra Day O'Connor. Those centrists have had the highest rates of alignment with that Court's majority. Isn't that just what would be expected? Being part of neither the more liberal nor more conservative wing of the Supreme Court, Kennedy and O'Connor have been "swing" votes. Typically, they've made majorities. Consequently, they've overwhelmingly been part of their Court's majorities. (See, e.g., Supreme Court: Justices In The Majority (Part 2--And Compared to In Dissent), Dec. 18, 2008; Supreme Court: Justices In The Majority, Dec. 8, 2008.)
By contrast, Smith and Pigott--though like Kennedy and O'Connor in having voting records that place them with neither wing of their court's ideological spectrum--unlike the Supreme Court's centrists, do not have the highest rates of majority voting. Instead, they have the lowest! Stated otherwise, they are out of the majority more than the rest of their colleagues.
So, the Court of Appeals "centrists," Smith and Pigott, are closer ideologicaly to the Court's liberals and conservatives than the liberals and conservatives are to each other. BUT, they do not appear to be the Court's "swing" votes. They do "swing" from liberal to conservative more frequently than their colleagues. That's just another way of saying that their voting records are not as liberal as that of the liberals, or conservative as that of the conservatives. But they are NOT the "swing" votes in the sense that Kennedy and O'Connor have been. They have not been the deciding factors in making majorities. Rather, they have helped make majorities less often than their colleagues.
One more thing before concluding. Among the 3 ideological pairings, the conservative pro-prosecution pairing of Read and Graffeo has the highest rates of voting in the majority. The liberal pairing of Jones and Ciparick, collectively, has lower rates. True, just a bit lower. But that only reinforces what we've already noted. It is not the centrists that have the high rates of being in the majority in criminal cases at the Court of Appeals. Rather, the Judges at the ideological ends of the Court's spectrum do. The conservative pair followed--and closely so--by the liberal pair. The centrist pair is last!
Next, we'll take a look at which Judges are voting allies, and which clearly are not.

Horse Racing – 1986 – Kentucky Derby Trophy Presentation – Winner Ferdinand With Bill Shoemaker
Ferdinand (March 12, 1983 – 2002) was a Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1986 Kentucky Derby and 1987 Breeders' Cup Classic. He was voted the 1987 Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year.
He entered stud in 1989 and was later sold to a breeding farm in Japan in 1994.
At the age of 19, Bill Shoemaker was making so much money….as much as $2,500 each week….that the Los Angeles Superior Court appointed attorney Horace Hahn as his guardian, with the consent of his parents…..and thirty years later, he won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey in the United States…. as Willie The Shoe would win eleven Triple Crown races during his career….which spanned four different decades….but the Triple Crown itself eluded him. The breakdown of these wins is as follows:
Kentucky Derby: Swaps (1955), Tomy Lee (1959), Lucky Debonair (1965) and Ferdinand (1986)
Preakness Stakes: Candy Spots (1963) and Damascus (1967)
Belmont Stakes: Gallant Man (1957), Sword Dancer (1959), Jaipur (1962), Damascus (1967) and Avatar (1975)
Two of Shoemaker's most noted rides were in the Kentucky Derby….where he lost the 1957 Kentucky Derby aboard Gallant Man….when he stood up in the stirrups too soon after having misjudged the finish line….where Gallant Man finished second to Iron Liege, ridden by Bill Hartack. At the 1986 Kentucky Derby, Shoemaker became the oldest jockey ever to win the race (at age 54) aboard the 18-1 outsider Ferdinand….with the trophy presentation seen in this video herewith. The following year, he rode Ferdinand to a victory over Alysheba in the Breeders' Cup Classic; Ferdinand later captured Horse of the Year honors.
Shoemaker rode the popular California horse Silky Sullivan, about which he is quoted as saying…."You just had to let him run his race … and if he decided to win it, you'd better hold on because you'd be moving faster than a train." When Shoemaker earned his 6,033rd victory in September 1970….he broke jockey Johnny Longden's record….then In 1999, Shoemaker's own record of 8,833 career victories was broken by Panamanian-born Laffit Pincay Jr…..which is a record is currently held by Russell Baze.
Win number 8,833, Shoemaker's last, came at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Florida, on January 20, 1990 aboard Beau Genius. Two weeks later, on February 3, Shoemaker rode his last race on Patchy Groundfog, at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. He finished fourth, in front of a record crowd, to Eddie Delahoussaye, on Exemplary Leader. All told, Bill Shoemaker rode in a record 40,350 races. In 1990, he was voted the Mike Venezia Memorial Award for "extraordinary sportsmanship and citizenship".

Top European Biotech SMEs announced at 8th edition of EuropaBio Awards
by	Clément Robijns
From left to right: John Brennan (EuropaBio Secretary General), Carlo Incerti (EuropaBio Chairman), Philipp Bürling (Co-Founder and CFO, Numaferm), Teemu Suna (CEO, Nightingale Health), Deborah A. O'Neil (CEO, NovaBiotics), Martin Stephan (Deputy CEO, Carbios), Nora Alonso (CEO, Iden Biotechnology) and MEP Paul Rübig (Jury Member and Event Host)
During a high-level event at the European Parliament with biotech CEOs, industry leaders and venture capitalists, MEP Paul Rübig (Awards Jury Member and event host) awarded NovaBiotics (healthcare biotech, UK), Carbios (industrial biotech, France) and Iden Biotechnology (agricultural biotech, Spain) with the top prizes in the 8th edition of the EuropaBio Most Innovative Biotech SME Awards. Apart from the public recognition, the winners receive 10000 EUR each and a two-year free membership of EuropaBio.
Twenty-seven innovative biotech companies from a dozen European countries applied for this year's competition. The initiative recognises highly innovative small and medium sized enterprises in Europe that have developed novel ways of meeting our societal, technical, and environmental problems through the application of biotechnology.
Healthcare or Red Biotech Category
The winner, NovaBiotics, is a UK-based clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the design and development of first-in-class anti-infectives for difficult-to-treat, medically unmet diseases. A leading innovator in the anti-infectives space, the company's robust technology and business model has been validated through successful development, from concept to clinic, of two lead products and securing the most appropriate commercial collaborations to enable the delivery of these highly promising therapy candidates to markets of significant worth.
The runner-up in this category was Nightingale Health, a Finnish biotechnology company addressing chronic diseases with a proprietary blood analysis platform that can improve risk prediction of, among others, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. With headquarters and laboratory facilities in Finland, along with two franchising laboratories in the UK, they routinely provide services for academic research customers internationally. With clinical pilots ongoing, the company's next major milestone is to bring its blood analysis service to healthcare providers globally. Ultimately, Nightingale aims to make preventative healthcare in chronic diseases available for everyone.
Industrial or White Biotech Category
The winner, Carbios, is a French green chemistry company focused on discovering and developing enzymatic bioprocesses to reinvent the lifecycle of plastics. By combining enzymology and plasturgy, a novel industrial approach, Carbios brings a major change to the way that plastics are produced and consumed. The company's processes are based on the use of enzymes produced by natural microorganisms selected for their ability to degrade the polymers that make up plastic materials.
The runner-up was Numaferm, a German spin-off company from the Institute of Biochemistry of the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf that has developed a reliable, cost-efficient technology to manufacture peptides based on well-designed microorganisms that convert simple nutrients to peptides. Peptides are biomolecules with unique characteristics and functionalities – for example pharmaceutical, antimicrobial or adhesive.
Agricultural or Green Biotech Category
The winner and top qualified applicant in this category was Iden Biotechnology, a Spanish company developing biotech products and integrated solutions for crop yield and quality enhancement, including agrobiological products (e.g. plant biostimulants and biopesticides), and more productive crop varieties. Their products are part of the general industry of farm inputs and, within that, the broad sectors of seeds and crop protection.

Real homes: See inside Peggy Bell's beautiful boho house
It's so dramatic and colourful
Peggy Bell's Edwardian home in Ballyholme, Bangor is the stuff of dreams. The mid-terraced seafront property is full of character, personality and Peggy's fantastically dreamy aesthetic.
Hallmarks of her unique style include rich velvets, contrasting textures and beautiful artwork which have gained her an army of Instagram fans. She goes under the name of @interior_alchemy and has over 22,000 followers to date.
Her home is deliciously dark and dramatic, with deep aubergine hues adorning the walls and heavy, gilded picture frames hanging in the rooms.
Her aim when planning the interior of the house was to be sympathetic to its style."It was very different from our last one, which was a modern new build. The architectural features here are beautiful: deep skirting, cornice, ceiling roses. I wanted to take my cue from the period of the home," she says.
Peggy's dark boho home
Peggy's love for all things interior has been a lifelong pursuit and dates back to when she was a child.
"My parents used to hear scrapes and bumps, and shout up the stairs: 'You better not be moving the furniture again!' When I was young I built huts with friends, but I used to sneak back and furnish the walls with patterned pillowcases and even had a guest book sprayed with perfume!"
These days she may be an adult, but she hasn't lost her sense of playfulness with how she decorates her home... just look at her ostrich-themed bathroom.
"It is from Rockett st George," she tells us. "I love it because it teams my two favourite things, classical art and a unique twist."
Peggy's ostrich-themed bathroom
Unique is a word that describes her style perfectly, with unusual pieces scattered throughout her home. She looks to Instagram when it comes to sourcing interesting objects and artwork for the house and name-checks some of her favourites.
"The amount of small independent artists using the platform is unreal. Marta of @lusheclectic, Christine of @artdecadence, Donna of @kelldon, Debbie of @pennyfeathersvintage, @inkanddrop to name just a few."
While it can't be easy to choose a favourite painting when her house is full of beautiful artwork, she does have a particular piece of art that she loves.
"My Lakshmi painting. I commissioned local artist Courtney Rush and she did a really amazing job," she says.
Does she have any interior design regrets?
"I'm not sure if its a regret as such, but I painted my entire hall, which is three storeys, purple, including woodwork and ceiling.
"It was exactly as dramatic as you would expect but extremely dark, and I ended up having to get the top half of the wall and ceiling painting white again to circumvent the possibility of my children falling on the dark stairs."

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat has warned people against eating tiet canh a traditional Vietnamese dish of blood and cooked meat as it may cause dangerous infections.
Phat told a government meeting Thursday that Vietnamese people usually eat tiet canh after some worship rituals before the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reported.
Traditionally, people slaughtered chickens, ducks or pigs for worship and used the blood to make tiet canh.
Phat said the blood may easily transfer harmful bacteria to humans and cause diseases such as group A streptococcal infections, which can lead to death in a matter of weeks.
He also warned against the resurgence of bird flu this year, as the H5N1 virus has been found at more than 61 percent of 147 live fowl markets surveyed in 44 cities and provinces.
Health authorities have been warning of bird flu pandemics ahead of the country's biggest holiday Tet, when demand for fowl increases and fuels the smuggling of birds from rural areas to cities.
Mekong Delta provinces bordering Cambodia, where there are currently H5N1 epidemics, and are the main suppliers of fowls to Ho Chi Minh City.
Authorities should tighten the crackdown on fowl smuggling activities in border areas, according to minister Phat.

Q: Eager Loading of Associations using MongoMapper I'm looking to Eager Load Associated Documents using MongoMapper. Say I have an author with a :has_one condition to a Post, I should be able to load the author using a single query
Post.find(:all, :include => :author)

Any suggestions?

A: UPDATE: The code below is just as models workflow.. I tried it after some coding and it didnt work!
Lets say you have Post model and User model.
User has_many posts, and you want All the users (authors) with their posts.
Here a tip to handle it. and my example is fetching one post.
post.rb
class Post
  include MongoMapper::Document

  key :title, String
  key :body, String
  key :user_id, ObjectId

  belongs_to :user

end

and user.rb
class User
  include MongoMapper::Document
  key :name
  many :posts, :embed => :title
end

Now,
u = User.first
p = u.posts.first

puts p.title # read it from embedded doc
puts p.body # lazy loading

The trick here is to embed the mostly common fields like the name of the user, _id, user slug, etc.
I didnt test what above, but you have to give a try!
Best

Writing on dance, musical theatre, theatre and opera in Sydney … mostly
DJ's Diary
Posted on June 22, 2015 by deborahjones2012
Sydney Opera House, June 11
IN Frances Rings's Sheoak, her new work for Bangarra Dance Theatre, there is a greatly touching section for two women, on the Sydney opening night danced by Elma Kris and Yolanda Lowatta. The duo is one of protection, nurturing and teaching, and was enriched immeasurably by Kris's radiant maturity and Lowatta's shiny youth. Kris, now 43, is one of the longest-serving members of the Bangarra company while Lowatta, 23, is still a trainee, although a future in dance looks very secure indeed. She was awarded the 2015 Russell Page Fellowship and catches the eye effortlessly on stage.
But Lowatta is right at the beginning of her journey. Kris has travelled a long way from her earliest days with Bangarra as a rather shy figure whose world seemed to hold secrets we'd never learn. She was always intriguing because of that but you had to seek her out on stage. Now she is in the full flowering of her artistry. She is still a very modest performer, never appearing to seek the spotlight, but transmits a dance's purpose with the greatest clarity.

Kris has never been the most obviously polished dancer in Bangarra's ranks but she has qualities that transcend technical finish. She has heart and soul. She can take you to the realm most important to Bangarra – an understanding of traditional Indigenous culture.
As well as anchoring the ancient mysteries of Sheoak, Kris had a central role in I.B.I.S., the here-and-now work that gets the lore double bill off to a rollicking start. Who would have thought that going down to the shop to stock up on food could be so much fun? I.B.I.S. is named after a Queensland Government statutory body – Islanders Board of Industry & Service – that operates stores in the Torres Strait. One of its responsibilities (I got this from a 2013 report) is to "provide healthy food choices at lowest possible prices".
With the lightest of touches, co-choreographers Deborah Brown and Waangenga Blanco remind us that people (and not only Indigenous people) are increasingly removed from their own food gathering. Want some crayfish? It comes out of the freezer. (The freezer also provides some welcome cooling air for a group of exceptionally sinous shoppers.)
I.B.I.S. starts with a delightful gathering of friends amongst the shelves, the women in pretty flowery frocks (longtime Bangarra associate Jennifer Irwin created all the terrific costumes for this program) and the men full of high spirits. There's singing, horsing about and some business with shopping baskets, and then things start getting surreal as turtles and crayfish come to life with sinuous grace and flickering legs. The fantastical then gives way to the traditional as the company performs vibrant stamping dances.

I.B.I.S. is a first work from Brown and Blanco and it's a great success. The theme of change in practices and the environment is delivered with much humour and vitality. Bangarra doesn't have a huge ensemble so Brown and Blanco didn't get the night off work to enjoy I.B.I.S. from the auditorium. They both looked terrific, as did the whole company.
Sheoak is a serious, dramatically beautiful response to timeless imperatives. As the work starts a disintegrating mass of bodies shows the fracturing of an old way of life but essential parts remain through troubled times and in renewal. The tree is re-imagined as fragments in a series of vignettes touching on loss and recovery. The meaning is at times elusive but the atmospherics powerful. Jacob Nash designed both works with Karen Norris on lighting. As ever, it is hard to think of dance works that consistently look as ravishing as Bangarra's. David Page composed for Sheoak and Steve Francis wrote the I.B.I.S. score, both of them using Indigenous language as an integral aspect of music and meaning.
Sydney until July 4. Canberra, July 9-11; Wollongong, July 23-25; Brisbane, August 7-15; Melbourne, August 28-September 5.
A version of this review appeared in The Australian on June 15.

Q: Unable to detect droppable event on body using jquery UI I am creating to create drag and drop functionality using jquery UI. However , the drop event isn't getting triggered when I drop something on the body
Here is my demo code.Any help will be appreciated.
http://jsfiddle.net/ysptW/1/

A: Change
 $( "body" ).droppable({

to:
 $( "#droppable" ).droppable({

Here is the jsFiddle
UPDATE
You almost had it, the problem was that your body didn't have a height, which was identified by giving it a css border.  Once a height was set using body{height:200px;} then it worked.
new jsFiddle in response to comments:

A: Update your code from

With the Grammar 101 series on this blog, I don't typically dive into the complex technicalities of the English language. You don't really need to know all the terminology in order to avoid making grammatical mistakes, but it is helpful to know that today's post will be approaching something called a dangling participle. The best way to illustrate this is with an example.
Waiting for hours in the rain, the arriving bus was a very welcome sight.
Do you see the problem with that sentence? The first part of the sentence, "waiting for hours in the rain," is called a dangling participle. This is because it is left without the right subject to modify. A dangling participle modifies an unintended subject. The way the sentence is structured, it makes it sound like the bus was waiting for hours in the rain. That's not right.
The bus wasn't the one waiting in the rain; I was the one waiting in the rain. As such, we need to move or introduce that subject closer to the participle.
Waiting for hours in the rain, I was happy to see the arriving bus.
That makes a lot more sense, don't you think? The biggest problem with dangling participles is one of ambiguity. This is similar to the problems we encounter with unclear pronouns and list structure. Some people will say that you don't need perfect grammar as long as you are understood, but a dangling participle could lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
Eating 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, I was disgusted by Kobayashi.
Eating 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, Kobayashi disgusted me.
The meaning here is far clearer, even if the sentence itself perhaps isn't the best.
Dangling participles don't always appear at the beginning of sentences, but that is the most common place for you to find them. You'll also usually find the -ing form of the verb there to form what is called a participial phrase, which really acts like an adjective. In the above examples, the participial phrases are modifying or describing "I" and "Kobayashi," respectively.
Reading through today's post, you have hopefully gained a better understanding of the dangling participle and will be better prepared to avoid making that error in your writing. Do you have a suggestion for a future Grammar 101 topic? Do let me know by posting a comment below.
A Writer's Retirement… Or Lack Thereof?
I would even clarify it even more myself Michael. I would have written "By eating 50 hotdogs in 12 minutes, Kyobashi disgusted me." In my mind that is how I would have formed it as I wrote.

Die Lippe war einer von zwölf Frachtern der Rheinland-Klasse, die der Norddeutsche Lloyd in Auftrag gab und die in den Jahren 1912 bis 1915 fertiggestellt wurden. Sie wurde 1919 als Kriegsentschädigung an Großbritannien ausgeliefert und fuhr bis 1929 bzw. 1933 als Tresithney bzw. Pipiriki unter britischer Flagge.

Bau und technische Daten
Das Schiff lief am 8. August 1914 bei der Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft mit der Baunummer 341 vom Stapel und wurde am 2. Februar 1915 abgeliefert. Es war 144,01 m lang und 18,07 m breit und hatte 8,14 m Tiefgang und 8,71 m Seitenhöhe. Es war mit 6714 BRT und 4162 NRT vermessen. Eine Dreifachexpansions-Dampfmaschine der Flensburger Schiffsbau-Gesellschaft von 4000 PS ermöglichte über eine Schraube eine Geschwindigkeit von 12 Knoten. Wie alle ihre Schwesterschiffe ab der Waldeck verfügte die Waldeck über eine Kabinenausrüstung für 6 Passagiere der I. Klasse. Das Schiff war, wie seine Schwesterschiffe, für den Linienfrachtdienst nach Australien und Neuseeland vorgesehen.

Geschichte
Da das Schiff erst nach dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs fertiggestellt und ausgeliefert wurde, kam es nicht mehr wie vorgesehen zum Einsatz, sondern verbrachte die Kriegsjahre als Auflieger.

Am 2. April 1919 wurde es als Reparationsleistung an Großbritannien ausgeliefert. Der britische Shipping Controller wies es der Reederei Cairns, Noble & Co. zur Bereederung zu. Am 1. Februar 1921 wurde das Schiff für 120,000 £ von der Hain Steamship Company, einer Tochtergesellschaft der P&O Gruppe, gekauft und in Tresithney umbenannt. Es fuhr zwischen Europa und Australien/Neuseeland. Am 16. November 1922 kollidierte das Schiff beim Auslaufen aus Antwerpen mit dem schwedischen Dampfer Carl O Kjellberg. Am 16. November 1924 wurde das Schiff an die Federal Steam Navigation Company in London verkauft, ebenfalls eine Tochter der P&O, die es einer weiteren P&O-Tochter, der New Zealand Shipping Company, zur Bereederung übergaben. Dabei erhielt das Schiff den neuen Namen Pipiriki. Es verkehrte weiterhin zwischen Neuseeland, Australien und Westeuropa.

Am 15. November 1929 lief die Pipiriki bei der Ankunft aus Port Pirie (Australien) in Swansea (Wales) auf Grund. Die dabei erlittenen Beschädigungen waren schwer genug, dass sich die Reparatur inmitten der Weltwirtschaftskrise sich nicht rentierte, und das Schiff wurde im Dezember 1929 im River Fal nördlich von Falmouth aufgelegt. Am 9. November 1933 wurde es schließlich für 7,300 £ an die Abbruchwerft Ditta L. Pittaluga Vapori in Genua verkauft, wo es am 3. Dezember 1933 ankam und 1934 verschrottet wurde.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden urged concern but not alarm Tuesday as the United States set records for daily reported COVID-19 casesand his administration struggled to ease concerns about testing shortages, school closures and other disruptions caused by the omicron variant.
In remarks before a meeting with his COVID-19 response team at the White House, Biden aimed to convey his administration's urgency in addressing omicron and convince wary Americans that the current situation bears little resemblance to the onset of the pandemic or last year's deadly winter. The president emphasized that vaccines, booster shots and therapeutic drugs have lessened the danger for the overwhelming majority of Americans who are fully vaccinated.

A Day in the Life - Resident Video Storytelling
By: Marissa Salvesen on July 22nd, 2015
Another Dream Come True at Crosby Commons!
Shelton, CT (Monday, July 13, 2015) - Marie Bawol has lived as a resident of Crosby Commons Independent and Assisted Living Community for the past three years and has always dreamed of visiting England again. Although she has lived in the United States since she was 18 years old, Marie was born and raised in Liverpool, England.
She vividly remembers life during the bombings of World War II, and the difficulties that followed during and after the war. Even still, she longed for the chance to return again to the place she grew up, where many of her family members reside. After sharing her dream with Crosby staff, she was surprised with a special day to make her dream come true!
As part of the community's Journey of Dreams program, staff and residents took "a trip to England" together with Marie! On Tuesday, June 30th, the community hosted a Tour of England celebration, with a traditional English meal prepared by the Crosby Commons Dining Services team, a tea party hosted by Bigelow Tea, and a musical performance by Brett Bottomley, who entertained residents on the Chapman Stick, a unique multi-string electric guitar. Lectures on English history were offered throughout the day, as well as a fun photo booth opportunity, which featured a giant double-decker London city bus that was custom-built by a staff member. Residents and staff posed behind the bus windows for pictures, which were then transformed into postcards and sent to friends and family members.
In honor of her special day, Marie was presented with an album of photographs of the royal family, a china tea pot and tea cup, biscuits and jam, and English toffee. A champagne toast ended the day, along with a look back at the royal wedding celebration. "I didn't realize the celebration was going to be so elaborate! It made me stop and think how lucky I am to have such a loving family here; at Crosby Commons and in England," Marie said. "The day was absolutely fantastic."
Crosby Commons Assisted Living Community is located on the Wesley Village Campus in Shelton, CT. The award-winning "Journey of Dreams" program was created on the campus to offer opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment of individual dreams. To learn more about Crosby Commons or other dreams that have been fulfilled for residents, visit www.crosbycommons.org or contact Lisa Bisson at 203.225.5024.

The fictional realm of imprinted perception is still wanting to hold the change back as is shown more and more. The play is still going on for those believing and never stops even when the script already ended and the public got home. A lot of this is going on on the Geo-political level or macro level. The forces are still pulling out all the stops and real faces are shown. Hidden agendas still keep being exposed and the lit is every time popped off the kettle regardless the efforts to keep it shut. It is the time of integrating your higher spiritual connection and marrying it with you standing firmly on Mother Earth and being YOU. Sitting on a cloud in a fake belief of an all bliss state without any roots to your base where your reality is created called Earth is nothing. The same counts for all those still being heavily earthly rooted without having any spiritual connection at all. This is also an illusion that reality is only in this defined earthly being status. The combined being rooted to you on this earth and also being connected to your higher spiritual you is what makes the balance.
We are here to learn the balance and to manage our duality and ego into a balanced state of being that will change all. It is a trying time as lots of you will have to make some heavy choices and are getting big challenges on your path. The way you handle this defines if you are more and more integrating and being balanced. We are all in a process going the way we all have to walk and you decide what your do on this road. We have to learn to cope with change as it is evermore going on. Change is happening and keeping things, trying to format to capture to embody what is ever-changing is not possible. Holding on to certain beliefs, dogmas, ways or patterns is just showing your confinement to the old and that what you can not let go off. The past weeks we have had a lot of sun activity and also lots of clear voices and statements from both sides of the spectrum. The progress will follow when all will meet and see the middle ground and balance. The compromise may be a way to end the duality dance.
The non-judgmental clear and all-inclusive without boundaries is still not easy to establish into this world of millennia of duality pushed and shoved into your beings. So as all that is set in motion it takes time to get up to speed. We will get there eventually. If all of you are not clinging to their fortresses and newly built castles and towers. We need an open honest, transparent new way of doing things with also honoring the individual humans that can work together (not grouping up) to get things working on local levels. Small communal change is the catalyst and see it like a stone thrown into the lake that will make circles, wider and wider. Change will grow on you all. It will become natural. We are all equipped for it. Be sure to keep in mind we are the ones we are waiting for and we can make it happen. You do not need to go with the thought and manipulation police, governments and mainstream media, and not following tv and playing dumbing down games. You can start and make a change yourselves in being an example, being you standing for a real new way of doing things, making change happen. The change will follow you as soon as you start it yourself.
More groups and organizations are falling apart. Things last as long as it does. We have seen good intentions and bad implementation. We also saw bad things that grew eventually into something good. We have seen the ones promising lots and leaving more with nothing than a bit of faith and belief in an old way. Value will become more something not related to money and commodities but value of a social, human and spiritual kind. The value lies in what you can give with your heart towards helping and aiding others. The value in being in service to others. We will change our thinking away from the egotistical needing for survival and or gain and culmination of wealth and power into a more altruistic style of thinking with the heart. Better said feeling and sensing what is best. The current state of our reality does not allow most the feeling and sensing of the real grand you as it gets clouded and overpowered by the old system. We all need to see through it and know we can do it differently. Lots is already in small communities done different and in astonishing new ways. There is not one way of doing things but multiple and you all will find out what it is that tics each of your boxes. Be ready and open to embrace what is coming onto your path.
