You would have nothing to write about if you weren't having these wacky adventures. We would have nothing to read about either. We're thinking about you and hope you're smiling through it all!
this is quite an adventure. at least that what hindsight will tell you.
I like what Heather said. I'd move in with Rod and Cindy!
If I had to live with anyones parents….it would be yours. I went from calling it "murphys law" to "Curtis law" but I think now I'll refer to it as "Smiths law", you've earned it. Hang in there. Love you!
Did I say Mike left me to work his new job? Oh yeah, he was no where to be found when needed!
And Yes, I'm living with my parent & I'm how old? Who would have thought.
Just think of the stories you will be able to tell!

LITTLE LIARS: What Can We Do About This Problem?
What do you do when you're an impressionable child that relies on projecting an image to provoke envy? In the case of an entire generation, you post images of yourself having the time of your life on all of your favorite social media apps.
Kids today have turned themselves into full time PR firms with themselves as their only client. The only problem is that they forget that a 'normal kid' doesn't actually live the high life or dazzle everyone upon entering a real room and their photo updates attempt to speak the opposite.
It's frightening to see what has happened to a generation of people since the advent of 'Smart' phones and the internet, but now we can add rampant lying to the host of problems that the youth of today suffer from. This comes as no surprise and I'm convinced that anyone who's given the addictive use of social media by children a moment's thought would have come to this conclusion long ago, but we have confirmation coming from The London Telegraph reporting that Sue Hincks, the incoming president of the Girls School Association, sees the false realities of social media spilling over into real life in the forms of lies.
If good sense doesn't come naturally, maturity and experience teaches us that we are improved and grow from our mistakes, but when it becomes second nature to deceive others in order to maintain a charade so early in life, how is this going to effect us later when this behavior has become our way of 'being'?
Let me tell a quick story to illustrate this Telegraph article I am referencing. A couple of years ago I casually told a good friend that I thought her daughter was 'playing' her. In other words, I expressed that she was being lied to. I won't get into the details of it, but from an outsiders perspective and having been around the child enough, I could see deceptions and how she always seemed to cry out for sympathy by utilizing fear tactics and emotion. She manipulated a caring parent who was blind to all of the motivations of the child. My pointing out this blatant manipulation ended the conversation AND our friendship. The concept of confronting this truth was too much for this paraent to bear and all reminders of it needed to be shut out. That's how my friend dealt with it.
This is a difficult position for anyone without children to comment on because parents so often say, "You just don't know what it's like." What I do know is that parents always seem to cave in before the child. The crying will stop when the device is returned to the child. The television can go back on to occupy the child. All of the demands made by the child are met so he can 'fit in', etc. etc. But what problems do these concessions solve? Or do they encourage greater problems later?
It's telling that this report is coming from an administrator at a school, a place educators have had to start doing double-duty as parents. Why have parents loosened their role of parenting to a degree where kids fail at learning basic values that will effect them the rest of their lives?
I don't have a solid solution for this besides alternative parenting styles and patiently educating children at a very early age. We can't rely on others to do this important work for us. I may not have any children, but I was a child once and I had a father who instilled values in my mind very early on.
As parents and caregivers, we need to understand how our children use social media, what their messages mean to them and what it conveys to others. There needs to be discussions made about the illusion of the digital realm and real world relationships and consequences of the lives we create for ourselves online.
If you have any comment or insight, please share your thoughts in the comments.

SPH holds service to honour nation's 'architect and founding father'
Kok Xing Hui
https://str.sg/3Az6
More than 700 employees of media group Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) observed a minute of silence yesterday at its memorial service for Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
The one-hour service at the SPH News Centre auditorium started with the showing of a video by SPH Razor on the life of Mr Lee and ended with staff singing the National Anthem.
SPH chief executive officer Alan Chan and staff from four SPH daily newspapers who had interacted with Mr Lee in the course of their work also paid tribute to Singapore's first Prime Minister.
As a young conscript in 1971, Mr Chan said he saw "two old uncle corporals" having rice and curry sauce for lunch at a makeshift stall. When asked, one said he had to support three children on a $220 salary, and every cent counted.
"When I now see our well-fed, well-housed and well-travelled Singaporeans, I am most grateful for what Mr Lee and his first- generation leaders have done for us. We have come a long way," said Mr Chan, who worked as Mr Lee's principal private secretary from 1994 to 1997.
SPH chairman Lee Boon Yang, a former Cabinet minister under Mr Lee, also attended the service.
He said in a statement: "I have always thought of Mr Lee as the architect and founding father of Singapore... Mr Lee was always very focused and serious. He seldom engaged in small talk. He would drill deeply into every issue, whether it was a policy revision or something new."
The Straits Times editor at large Han Fook Kwang shared what he learnt about Mr Lee from working with him on his books.
"First, we all know how meticulous he was and how much attention to detail he gave to those issues he considered important. In the case of his books, it meant writing and rewriting the drafts many, many times," he said.
"My second impression is over how intense he was as a person, and how in his every waking moment, he was consumed with the lifelong project which is Singapore.
"He had no time for any other business. This was most evident when we were doing the book Hard Truths, where we interviewed him for more than 30 hours."
Mr Azhagiyapandiyan Duraiswamy, deputy editor of Tamil Murasu, spoke of how Mr Lee made sure that "the Indians, along with the Malays, had a place in the Singapore sun".
Mr Lee ensured that Tamil, spoken by less than 5 per cent of the population, not only survived but also had opportunities to flourish.
He said: "Nowhere else in the world is Tamil language an official language of the nation today."
Ms Yew Lun Tian, a correspondent at Lianhe Zaobao, recounted how a Saudi prince once offered his private plane to Mr Lee so he could travel back to Singapore in comfort.
"The Singapore that Mr Lee and his team built is already 50 years old. It's time we can tell him, 'We've got this, please rest assured and get on with your journey,'" she said in Mandarin.
Mr Chairul Fahmy Hussaini, deputy digital editor of Berita Harian, recalled how he was once with Mr Lee in Malaysia and had asked him why he did not meet then Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
Without mincing his words, Mr Lee had replied in Malay: "He is a big man, I am a small man."
Mr Robin Chan, SPH manager of media strategy and analytics, interviewed Mr Lee for the book Hard Truths To Keep Singapore Going while he was at The Straits Times, and said he felt privileged to have spent that time with him.
"Even at the age of 86, with his health fluctuating, his passion for Singapore was unwavering, his appetite for a fight no less voracious," said Mr Chan.

A training partner can be a great addition to your workouts, but there are some criteria that must be met before allowing that person to come on board.
1.) Similar Goals: If the person you are working out with does not have the same goals as you, the workouts are not going to be beneficial for both parties. For instance, if you are trying to add muscle and your partner it trying to drop fat, the workouts will not be congruent. It is your fitness goal that should influence the design of your workout.

People v. Rosalez (1979) 89 Cal.App.3d 789 [153 Cal.Rptr. 65]
People v. Rosalez (1979) 89 Cal.App.3d 789 , 153 Cal.Rptr. 65
[Crim. No. 33083. Second Dist., Div. Three. Feb. 26, 1979.]
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. ERNEST JOSEPH ROSALEZ, JR., Defendant and Appellant.
(Opinion by The Court.)
Henry P. Crabtree, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Evelle J. Younger, Attorney General, Jack R. Winkler, Chief Assistant Attorney General, S. Clark Moore, Assistant Attorney General, and Roger W. Boren, Deputy Attorney General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Ernest Joseph Rosalez, Jr., was convicted in a court trial of eight counts of robbery Pen. Code, ? 211). fn. 1 These offenses having [89 Cal.App.3d 792] been committed subsequent to July 1, 1977, the operative date of the determinate sentence law, the trial court was required to apply this relatively complex new law (Pen. Code, ? 1170 et seq.). Contrary to appellant's assertions we have concluded that the sentencing procedures here followed could serve as a textbook example of how a trial court should proceed.
At the time of sentencing the trial court indicated that it had read and considered the report prepared by the probation officer (Pen. Code, ? 1203, subd. (a).) It also considered and rejected the potential grant of probation. fn. 2 It then imposed state prison sentences on each of the substantive robbery offenses. [1] Counts III and IV were ordered to run concurrently with each other but consecutively to the concurrent sentences imposed on counts VII and VIII. fn. 3 These terms were also ordered to run consecutively to the consecutive terms imposed on the remaining counts. [2] The court expressly stated its reasons for these sentence choices. (Pen. Code, ? 1170, subd. (c); Cal. Rules of Court, rules 425, 443; People v. Walker (1978) 83 Cal.App.3d 619, 622 [148 Cal.Rptr. 66].)
With respect to enhancements by virtue of use of a firearm (counts VII and VIII) and armed with a dangerous or deadly weapon (counts III, IV, [89 Cal.App.3d 793] V, VI, and IX), the court reiterated its earlier findings and also made specific reference to appellant's previous admission of having served a prison term as a result of an earlier felony conviction for grand theft.
[3] The court selected count VII as the base term and imposed a two-year enhancement by reason of appellant's having used a firearm in the commission of that offense, thereby establishing a principal term of five years. For the consecutive state prison sentences imposed on counts I, III, V, VI, and IX, the court properly designated one additional year as the term for each of these subordinate offenses, thus fixing an additional term of five years. The court arrived at this computation by virtue of Penal Code section 1170.1, subdivision (a), which provides that "[t]he subordinate term for each consecutive offense shall consist of one-third of the middle term of imprisonment prescribed for each other felony conviction for which a consecutive term of imprisonment is imposed, and shall exclude any enhancements when the consecutive offense is not listed in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5. ..." Here the consecutive offenses were not listed in subdivision (c) of section 667.5 and thus enhancement by virtue of the "armed" findings (Pen. Code, ? 12022, subd. (b)) was inappropriate.
Finally, by virtue of appellant's acknowledgment that he had served a prior prison term as a result of a felony conviction for grand theft, a nonviolent felony offense within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (c), the court imposed another additional year. (Pen. Code, ? 667.5, subd. (b).) In sum, the total term of imprisonment was fixed at eleven years, i.e., five years for the principal term, five years for the consecutive subordinate terms, and one year for a prior prison term as a result of a prior felony conviction. fn. 4
[4] Appellant contends, in essence, that the trial court's failure to expressly recite that appellant personally had used a firearm in the commission of counts VII and VIII renders its findings in this regard erroneous. In connection with these counts, the evidence credited by the court indicated that appellant had entered the Paramount Bootery on February 1, 1978, removed a pistol from his jacket and ordered a clerk, Ms. Salinas, to open the cash register. She did so and appellant removed the money and also took $25 from the person of the store's manager, Mr. Coltrin. Based upon this evidence, the trial court expressly concluded, "The Court further finds that the defendant Ernest Joseph Rosalez used a [89 Cal.App.3d 794] firearm, a pistol, during the commission ... of the offenses alleged in Counts VII and [VIII]. ..."
Where, as here, a defendant has been charged by information with having "... used a firearm, a pistol, during the commission ... of the offenses alleged in Counts VII and VIII" and the evidence supporting his personal use of a firearm is credited by the trier of fact (People v. Walker (1976) 18 Cal.3d 232 [133 Cal.Rptr. 520, 555 P.2d 306]; People v. Louis (1977) 75 Cal.App.3d 620, 624 [142 Cal.Rptr. 182]) the trial court is not required to negate a potentially erroneous finding of "vicarious" use of a firearm.
[5] Appellant also contends that "... multiple findings of the use of a firearm are prohibited when there is a 'single occasion' use against two victims." Insofar as this contention is directed to adverse evidentiary findings on the issue of the truth or falsity of the allegation, it is erroneous. Insofar as it is directed to the proposition that a defendant should only be required to serve one period of confinement therefor, it is correct. (In re Culbreth (1976) 17 Cal.3d 330, 335 [130 Cal.Rptr. 719, 551 P.2d 23].) Here, however, the trial court pragmatically complied with Culbreth, supra, when it ordered counts VII and VIII to run concurrently. This action assures that appellant will be required to serve but one period of confinement (two years) for his having used a firearm in the commission of counts VII and VIII. No modification of the judgment is required.
Finally, appellant's contention that the additional terms totaling six years must be reduced to a total of five years is without merit since it is based upon a repealed portion of section 1170.1a. fn. 5 Present statutory law provides only that "[i]n no case shall the total of subordinate terms for consecutive offenses not listed in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 exceed five years." (Pen. Code, ? 1170.1, subd. (a).) In the instant case, the total of subordinate terms for consecutive offenses is five years, and thus does not exceed the five-year limitation.
?FN 1. The matter was submitted, in part on the transcript of the preliminary hearing. Although appellant does not contend to the contrary, we note that when viewed in the light most favorable to the judgment, as is required by the familiar rule governing appellate review (People v. Caudillo (1978) 21 Cal.3d 562, 570-571 [146 Cal.Rptr. 859, 580 P.2d 274]), substantial evidence supports the trial court's determination that appellant committed the following offenses: count I, the February 14, 1978, robbery of Rosa de Mendoza; count III, the February 16, 1978, robbery of Lynne Rosen; count IV, the February 16, 1978, robbery of Stanley Rosen; count V, the January 31, 1978, robbery of Mae Katsuda; count VI, the January 31, 1978, robbery of Josie Kingman; count VII, the February 1, 1978, robbery of Don Coltrin; count VIII, the February 1, 1978, robbery of Irene Solinas; count IX, the February 8, 1978, robbery of Ramona Barajas. Substantial evidence also supports the trial court's determinations that appellant personally used a dangerous or deadly weapon, a knife, during the commission of counts III, IV, V, VI, and IX (Pen. Code, ? 12022, subd. (b)) and, contrary to his contention (see discussion, infra), personally used a firearm, a pistol, in the commission of counts VII and VIII (Pen. Code, ? 12022.5).
?FN 2. The trial court initially indicated that pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.06, appellant was ineligible for probation. When defense counsel took exception to this pronouncement, the trial court indicated that even if it did have the power to grant probation, the interests of justice would not be served thereby. The court, referring specifically to the rules promulgated by the Judicial Council, here California Rules of Court, rule 414, expressly outlined the reasons why probation was inappropriate.
?FN 3. While the imposition of concurrent versus consecutive sentence is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court (People v. Bradford ((1976) 17 Cal.3d 8, 20 [130 Cal.Rptr. 129, 549 P.2d 1225]), we note that where, as here, a defendant commits crimes of violence (robbery) against different people during an otherwise indivisible course of conduct, consecutive sentences on each of the robberies does not offend Penal Code section 654. (People v. Miller (1977) 18 Cal.3d 873, 885-886 [135 Cal.Rptr. 654, 558 P.2d 552].)
?FN 4. The sentence imposed was not violative of what is commonly referred to as the "double the base term rule" of Penal Code section 1170.1, subdivision (f), since here not only were consecutive sentences imposed but an enhancement for having used a firearm was also imposed.
?FN 5. The former relevant portion of Penal Code section 1170.1a, subdivision (e), provided: "In no case shall the aggregate for enhancement for both prior terms as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 667.5 and consecutive sentences as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 1170.1a exceed five years." (Added by Stats. 1976, ch. 1139, ? 273; amended by Stats. 1977, ch. 165, ? 17.)

Q: Doctrine query result is empty but the generated running query works in Postgres I have a native query in Doctrine, which generate the right SQL, which runs in PostgreSQL. However the Doctrine returns null/empty results.
public count unReadedNotifications(User $user) {

    $rsm = new ResultSetMapping();

    $sql =
        "SELECT count(ele->'status') FROM notification CROSS JOIN LATERAL jsonb_array_elements(items) status(ele) WHERE notification.id = ? and (ele->'status')::jsonb @> '1'";

    $query = $this->getEntityManager()->createNativeQuery($sql,$rsm)->setParameter('1', $user->getNotification()->getId());
    return $query->getSingleScalarResult();
}

This Doctrine native query returns null.
If I check the profiler I see the generated query is:
SELECT count(ele->'status') FROM notification CROSS JOIN LATERAL jsonb_array_elements(items) status(ele) WHERE notification.id = 21 and (ele->'status')::jsonb @> '1';

If I copy-paste this into pgAdmin it runs and it retrieve the desired "2".
So pgAdmin can gives me the right result, but Doctrine not.
Can somebody see, where and what went wrong?
Doctrine version: 2.6.3, Postgres is 10.

In the posts we call "Practical Law", we look at legal issues through the filter of common sense in managing your own circumstances, and a matrix that overlays case law across statutory law and woven into the general state of legal status throughout the various states around America.
Thus, we are not here offering legal advice per se, but rather analysis of the law, with recommendations on applying the law to your own needs. While the law is constantly changing, the practical means of pursuing an outcome often stays the same, or only changes a little.
So, in other words, if local law concerning the formation of a new business changes significantly in a given year, the means and methods of forming a new business overall, do not. If an LLC made sense when you started the process, it likely makes sense even in the face of a change in the law. And that is true when federal tax law changes too – as it did this year.
Generally, when new laws are enacted, the legislatively body that is changing them is reacting to a problem that exists in the larger culture, a problem lawyers already know exists, and they have addressed before. When it's presented following a change in the law, the lawyer will continue to try to achieve the same outcome for you he would have before the law changed, but addressing the nuances created by the new law. This tends to be much more consequential to the way he goes about his work, than it does for the advice he gives to you. Good outcomes are good outcomes regardless of how the law prescribes how to get there.
Case law, on the other hand, can affect the advice a lawyer gives more than a new statute typically will, but even then, the direction remains focused on the same outcome you were seeking before a new case made a change in the law.
For example, there was a case decided in Indiana a few years ago regarding the application of the rules of evidence in "summary judgment" proceedings, which are, ostensibly, not evidentiary proceedings, but rather a procedural tool used to get to judgment short of going to trial when relevant and material evidence is not in dispute.
Whatever the law, every case must have some underlying facts that establish the law that applies to the case. So, in the particular case I mentioned above, the Indiana Court of Appeals established a new rule that clarified the procedural rules regarding how the evidence is presented to the court outside the ordinary process involved when there is a trial.
The court's ruling raised the bar for creditors to establish the existence of debt by using affidavits of employees regarding records kept in the ordinary course of business and attesting to the debt itself.
Any lawyer applying this case law must now be sure his client includes the necessary statements in an affidavit to make it usable in the courtroom. The end goal, or the larger process for getting to that goal, however, remains the same in spite of the new precedent that exists.
The better news is that the new precedent has implications for every civil case brought in the state of Indiana. The rule applies regardless of whether you are talking about collecting a debt, a real estate transaction, or even a family law matter. It involves a rule of evidence that affects all areas of the law.
Practical law essentially means figuring out how the legal environment shapes the means you utilize for getting to a worthy goal. It may vary a bit from state to state, or from time to time, but in the end, the focus remains on achieving the worthwhile goals you have already established.
Don't underestimate the value of good legal consultation in the process of determining what will work for you. You don't always have to put an attorney on retainer to achieve the outcomes you're seeking, you may be able to pay for one or two hours of his time and get what you need from the attorney, at least for the moment.
At Landmark Legal Services, we strive to be effective advisors in every situation our clients need our assistance. Often litigation isn't the answer to a legal problem. But good negotiation, built around good strategy, is always a wise direction to pursue.

As we begin today with a MEANINGLESS Red Sox Yankees series….
As I have revitalized this blog, I have spent some time looking through all the "stats", that's right blogs have stats. Anyway, what the stats tell me is that among the widest read pieces I have posted here in three years, the Red Sox/Yankee rivalry is among the most popular. So I thought I would repost them!
So here you go, the first in a multi part series! This first appeared on March 13, 2012.
One thing I have learned in my 101 posts on this blog is that you who read it, help create it. I read something interesting and get an idea, I research and write about it and then I get a comment or an email and another article takes shape. So today, I give you The Anatomy of a Rivalry.

Over 40,000 Fake US Coins Seized
June, 24. 2021
Hundreds of seized packages filled with fakes were viewed by the ACTF.
Representatives of the Anti-Counterfeiting Educational Foundation and its Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force (ACTF) on the request of the Secret Service provided on-site numismatic expertise to federal law enforcement agents in the Los Angeles area who seized more than 40,000 fake Morgan and Peace dollars, American Eagle silver bullion coins and $2½ Indian Head gold coins. "The counterfeits were intercepted from overseas shipments and seized during a two-month joint investigation by the Secret Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection," explained ACEF Anti-Counterfeiting Director Doug Davis who flew from Dallas, Texas to California to assist investigators.
He and task force volunteer Lee Minshull of Palos Verdes, California, a long-time member of the Professional Numismatists Guild, met with federal investigators at the International Mail Facility in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, California. That is where approximately 1,700 packages of seized counterfeit coin shipments were stored.

"There were numerous wheeled carts filled with packages that contained coins seized during the eight-week targeting operation. We were told that each package contained an average of 27 to 32 coins, all of them counterfeits," said Davis. "The quality of the hundreds of counterfeits we personally examined varied from good to very good, especially the counterfeit silver American Eagles," stated Minshull. "It appears that the fakes we saw probably were made by three different counterfeit manufacturers. If they were genuine, the retail value of these 40,000-plus coins would be over $2 million," added Minshull.
Davis said the coordination between ACEF/ACTF, Secret Service and Customs and Border protection "provided valuable intelligence information that supports our work in exposing the widespread proliferation of counterfeit coinage and precious metals into the U.S. marketplace. Most importantly the success of this operation provides us with evidence to continue educating the higher-up administration within Secret Service, Customs, and Border Protection and other law enforcement agencies about the growing problem of counterfeits."
He added: "We will be providing Secret Service with a report of our evaluation. Secret Service was very appreciative of our assistance and willingness to travel at short notice to assist in the investigation. We could not say anything publicly about this operation earlier until federal agents finished part of their investigation."
This is only one of many cases during the past 12 months in which ACTF has provided numismatic experts to assist Secret Service and other Federal law enforcement agencies on counterfeit cases stretching across the United States.
"ACEF is playing an important role in aggressively identifying counterfeit manufacturers, organized groups, individuals, e-commerce, and social platforms selling counterfeit coins and precious metals. Most importantly, is the resources and experts ACEF has at its disposal to assist local, state, and federal agencies during the investigative process and enhances expeditious indictments and prosecution," Davis emphasized.
For more information visit the website of the Anti-Counterfeiting Educational Foundation.
The ACEF already reported earlier that the COVID-19 pandemic is causing an enormous demand and limited supply of bullion coins resulting in an increase of fraudulent activities and the distribution of counterfeits.

Mounties Get on the Trail of Coin Counterfeiter

A man has been arrested in Canada for allegedly uttering counterfeit circulation coins. So far, 10,000 counterfeit coins have been removed from circulation by the authorities. One detail makes the counterfeits particularly recognisable.


We know Clapper lied to the faces of Americans and said the NSA was not spying on Americans, yet they were. We know that the White helmets have been caught creating fake propaganda videos exactly like the ones we just saw in Syria, and we know both CNN and the White Helmets apologized for those videos. So what is it that is allowing Americans to trust these same institutions using almost the exact same narrative in Syria today?
The only sources on this event are the Intelligence Agencies and their anonymous "Just Trust Us" claim with no proof, The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights(which despite its official sounding name, is just one man in the UK who runs a t-shirt shop, claiming to have many sources on the ground in Syria, yet refuses to relinquish who and where they are, sound familiar?), and finally the White helmets, who were founded by a former British army officer turned mercenary and frequently worked with Purpose, Inc. – a George Soros-funded PR firm that has been pushing for Western intervention in Syria for years.
The White Helmets receive millions in funding from Western government, including 23 million dollars from the U.S., and operate almost exclusively in areas held by al-Nusra Front, a Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate, with whom they have collaborated with on a regular basis.
The White Helmets have been caught on camera facilitating public executions of civilians in Aleppo and elsewhere.
Welcome to TLAV political roundtable, in this week's episode we recap the recent what we know about the alleged chemical weapons attack and the subsequent airstrike by Donald Trump, and break down the new data points that have arisen. We discuss the recent "Battle for Berkley," where a free speech rally turned into a wholly orchestrated riot, as well as the recent rise in crime and even murder being broadcast using live streams, and the way in which this will be used to ban live streaming, as yet another way to hinder independent media. We break down how all of this could be in many ways used and even created to manifest the justification needed for the further crackdown on the rights of Americans.

It relieved Semple to put the weekend behind him. First thing Monday morning he plunged back into writing. He'd meant to give Miss H-V a piece of his mind when she delivered his Darjeeling and biscuit. However, so great was his concentration that he forgot to listen at the door for its arrival. Semple detested tepid tea but rather than waste it, he forced himself to drain the cup. He put everything in the hall.
Suspicion and mistrust marked Lady Allith's opinion of Lord Creswell. Semple imagined that open conflict between them lay just over the horizon. Lady Allith refused the knight's constant entreaties to marry him. They were thinly disguised attempts to get in her good graces, with a view toward doing away with her after the wedding and seizing her castle, lands and treasure.
Creswel had the money to hire mercenaries and the power to force local serfs to contribute food and materials he would require to besiege and reduce Lady Allith's stronghold to a pile of rubble. The mistress of Askerton Castle could withstand her brother-in-law's threats but she lacked the resources to stave off the assault that was bound to come when Lord Creswel's patience finally wore out.
Allith had a bodyguard, composed of knights that remained loyal after her husband's mysterious death. However, her guardians were few in number, and many of them were hobbled by age and injuries suffered in jousts and wars; they could offer little resistance in the face of a determined attack.
Lord Creswel wasn't a stereotypical ogre. In his early thirties, Creswel had sly brown eyes, a headful of glossy black hair and a round face that suggested an impish air: he was even known to smile. That being said, the mere suggestion that he'd had anything to do with his brother Lord Askerton's demise kindled the knight's anger. After two instances where Lord Creswel had defended his honor by slaying his critics people thought better of discussing the rumor in his hearing
Then there was Lady Allith. Although bartered off at fifteen by her father to secure a loan, she had come to admire—and eventually love—the husband who was nearly twice her age. A sturdy blond with piercing green eyes, ere long Allith possessed muscles gained by working alongside the tenants, an activity that was unheard of in women of her station.
Castle Askerton was sited beside a stream that provided plentiful fish to feed those resident in the castle proper, as well as the tenants. The fertile fields round about the castle produced a surplus of fruits and vegetables that Lady Allith distributed to the poor. The woods teemed with deer and the estate's sheep were renowned for the quality of their wool.
Seven years of contentment shared by Lord Askerton and his lady came to a tragic end one midsummer's evening. The lord of the manor had undertaken a solitary ride across the estate. Lady Allith worried when he failed to arrive home in time for dinner. The search party she dispatched returned bearing Askerton's body, pierced by a crossbow bolt.
Castle Askerton immediately went into mourning. Its namesake lay in repose on a bier in the Great Hall, with a knight posted at each corner. Just after daybreak Lord Creswel cantered across the drawbridge over the moat. Lady Allith, who met him at the gate, pointed to the band of black cloth encircling his upper right arm.
"How is it that you already know about my husband's murder, Creswel?"
"So, he was murdered?" The knight rubbed his horse's neck. "Dear sister, i would be strange indeed if I failed to sense that something had happened to my beloved twin . . ."
A crash in the hallway interrupted Semple. Opening the door he found the housekeeper on her knees, collecting shards of china from the carpet runner and depositing them in her apron. When she got to her feet Semple reached out a tentative hand but he resisted touching her.
"Miss H-V I must speak to you. I believe you know how pleased I am with your work; the house is spotless and the wonders you turn out in the kitchen are beyond compare."
The young woman arched her eyebrows. "Then you agree that the latter surpass the fare served by Tacy Bronwell?"
"Do not be impertinent. What do you know of Miss Bronwell?"
Ignoring the question Miss H-V retrieved the last pieces of the plate. Semple carried on.
"I find your habitual absence irksome. I would like to know that you are around, in case I have need of you."
"Sir, was I to understand that being your companion was a condition of employment?" Miss H-V's eyebrows arched a second time. "If so, I would have to reconsider whether I should stay on. It has always been my habit to live a solitary existence; I figured that if I carried out my duties to your satisfaction, my presence or absence wouldn't matter."
Semple was coming out on the short end of the stick. In a moment of anger he briefly considered sacking Miss H-V then and there—but only briefly. He calmed himself by remembering that her merits far outweighed her shortcomings. Besides, Semple didn't think he could find a replacement for the quixotic young woman without disrupting the flow of his writing.
Miss H-V went down the hall and Semple returned to his keyboard. In the quiet bedroom Allith Hegyi-Virág studied the pieces of teacup, saucer and plate spread out on the dresser. The Royal Doulton, adorned with delicate periwinkles, struck her as hopelessly old-fashioned. She took the carved antler silver wand from her skirt pocket. Ever since Semple had remarked upon what he called a "backscratcher," she had resolved never let it out of her sight.
Miss H-V held the two largest pieces of plate in one hand, grasped the wand with the other, and got to work.

The National Geographic Society (NGS) and Microsoft's AI for Earth program are partnering to support the exploration of how AI can help us understand, engage, and protect the planet.
The grants will support the creation and deployment of open source trained models and algorithms that are available to other environmental researchers and innovators and thereby have the potential to provide exponential impact.
Biodiversity conservation: Species are going extinct at alarming rates, and our planet's last wild places need protection. AI can help in areas like: Protected area management and restoration - Sustainable trad - Invasive species and disease control - Pollution control - Realizing natural capital (including valuing natural capital, species identification).
Climate change: Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, higher global temperatures, and increased ocean acidity threaten human health, infrastructure, and the natural systems we rely on for life itself. AI can help in areas like: Climate resilience - Extreme weather and climate modeling - Sustainable land-use change - Ecosystem services (including carbon sequestration and afforestation/reforestation).
Agriculture: To feed the world's rapidly growing population, farmers must produce more food on less arable land, and with lower environmental impact. AI can help in areas like: Land-use planning and management - Natural resource conservation - Sustainable supply chains - Climate-resilient agriculture.
Water: In the next two decades, demand for fresh water—for human consumption, agriculture, and hygiene—is predicted to dramatically outpace supply. AI can help in areas like: Water supply (including catchment control) - Water quality and sanitation - Water efficiency -Extreme-event (droughts, floods, disasters, etc.) management - Healthy oceans.
Typical proposal requests should be less than $100,000; however, applicants may request up to $200,000. Successful applicants may use awarded funds over one year.
All models supported through this grant must be open source, and grant recipients must be willing to share their models for use by other environmental researchers and innovators.
The main applicant must have a demonstrated background in environmental science and/or technology, and and at least one member of the team must have strong enough technical skills (such as AI, machine learning, statistical data analysis, scientific modeling, software development, and/or remote sensing) to complete the proposed project successfully.
Great ideas spring from a diversity of experiences; applications from all over the world are encouraged.

Jason Klein could face up to five years in federal prison without parole under federal statutes.
A Nixa entrepreneur behind multiple tech companies pleaded guilty in federal court today to conducting an illegal money transmitting business by exchanging bitcoin for cash without a license.
Jason Klein, 37, waived his right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge David Rush to federal charges of conducting an unlicensed and unregistered money transmitting business, according to a news release from the office of Tom Larson, acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri.
Klein is the founder of two technology-based companies: Logic Forte and Datality Networks and currently is president of the Association of Information Technology Professionals–Southwest Missouri.
Logic Forte has taken part in multiple startup competitions in the Ozarks, including the 2016 Pitch Pit as part of the Spin 66 Innovation Summit and Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce's Go Big Pitch Competition in 2015.
By pleading guilty today, Klein admitted he represented himself on the internet as a bitcoin exchanger, according to the release. However, Klein was not a licensed money transmitter with the state of Missouri or with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, as required by federal and state laws.
Bitcoins are a decentralized form of electronic currency, existing entirely on the internet and not in any physical form. The currency is not issued by any government, bank or company, but rather is generated and controlled automatically through computer software operating on a peer-to-peer network.
Between Feb. 6, 2015, and July 27, 2016, Klein, acting with another unnamed person, met with two undercover federal agents on numerous occasions to exchange bitcoin for cash. Today's plea agreement cites five separate transactions in which money – ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 – was exchanged in person for an electronic transfer of bitcoin. Each of the transactions included a fee that Klein or another person charged the undercover agents, for a total of $2,122 in fees, according to the release.
Under federal statutes, Klein is subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Casey Clark. It was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation.


Co-directors Elaine Sedenberg and Jen King will give updates about the second year of the Center for Technology, Society & Policy, including successes and lessons learned from the inaugural year. The talk will include ideas for the upcoming year on engaging young scholars and expanding the role of the "citizen technologist" in the public roles. The talk will conclude with a discussion about the challenges of and opportunities for translating research and technical expertise into the current policy landscape.

The Constitutional Convention: Creating an Executive
History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists in specific contexts. This simulation places students at the Constitutional Convention and asks them to explore one of the fundamental quandaries faced by the framers: how to create an executive branch that lacked monarchical prerogatives yet could make the government function more efficiently. By discussing and debating the various options, students will gain a deeper understanding of the choices the framers faced and why they opted for particular structures, ones we live with today.

The Emoluments Clause and the President (Civil Conversation)
The emoluments clause is a provision in the U.S. Constitution. An emolument is a profit or advantage an official gains from his or her office. The framers of the Constitution feared that ambassadors in the early republic might be corrupted by gifts from foreign countries. The framers wanted public servants to be free from outside influence.
Grades 10, 11, 12

Amending the Constitution: Why Change?
The U.S. Constitution, though it serves as the firm foundation for our system of government, incorporates a process for change and flexibility. This lesson allows students to investigate, analyze and simulate the amendment process that allows the Constitution to remain an evolving document as envisioned by the Framers.

The Constitutional Convention: Slavery and the Constitution
History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists in specific contexts. This simulation places students at the Constitutional Convention and asks them to engage in the most problematic issue the framers faced: how to deal with slavery. Although most delegates believed slavery was deplorable, it was so deeply entrenched that any attempt to abolish it would likely keep several states from approving the proposed Constitution. By confronting this issue, students will experience for themselves the influence of socioeconomic factors in the political arena, and they will see how political discourse is shaped by arguments based on morality, interest, and pragmatic considerations, often intertwined.

The Constitutional Convention: Composition of Congress
History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists in specific contexts. This simulation places students at the Constitutional Convention and asks them to construct a legislative branch for a proposed new government. Should there be one branch or two? Should each state get an equal voice in the legislative branch? By discussing and debating the various options, they will gain a deeper understanding of the choices the framers faced and why they opted for particular structures, ones we live with today.

Constitution Day Scavenger Hunt with 60-Second Civics
Fifty-five delegates attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Most students can identify George Washington or James Madison. But what about the 53 other delegates? Who were they? How did they influence the convention? In this lesson, students will familiarize themselves with the delegates by listening to a series of 60-Second Civics podcast episodes devoted to the Framers of the Constitution.

The Constitutional Convention of 1787
In this unit, students will examine the roles that key American founders played in creating the Constitution, and the challenges they faced in the process. They will learn why many Americans in the 1780s believed that reforms to the Articles of Confederation were necessary, and the steps taken to authorize the 1787 Convention in Philadelphia. They will become familiar with the main issues that divided delegates at the Convention, particularly the questions of representation in Congress and the office of the presidency. Finally, they will see how a spirit of compromise, in the end, was necessary for the Convention to fulfill its task of improving the American political system.

Defining Classroom Citizenship
The founders understood that, in order to preserve their liberty and happiness, and that of future generations, the foundation of successful self-government was citizens who understood and applied certain virtues. They constructed the U.S. Constitution according to their study of the principles and virtues that were most necessary to sustain a free, prosperous, and orderly society. This lesson is ideal for the first day of school.

How are your thoughts and feelings impacting your future self?
One thing I think about often is the relationship between the mind and the body. For example, when I have the experience of physically not being able to do something, I have all sorts of thoughts and feelings and reactions to the physical limitation. I start to wonder what is causing it, if this is the way it's going to be going forward, if there's anything I can do about it, how to adapt to another new limitation, etc.
My process has become more pragmatic over time. I have had a lot of experiences of having to adjust to a new normal. But when I am spending a lot of time thinking about these days, is how my thoughts and feelings are impacting my future self, including my future physical self.
About a year ago, I went to one of Dr. Joe Dispenza's workshops. I learned about a new type of meditation that is intention-based. It's all about creating the reality that you want internally before it exists in the physical world because our minds don't know the difference between the two.
It's not about being in denial. It's about challenging our own limitations and our own capacities. One of the meditations that I do is called reconditioning the body to a new mind. There are a series of prompts where you're asked to imagine and feel what it would be like to have an unlimited mind or to have courage, or gratitude.
It's not an intellectual exercise. The challenge is to think it, envision it, and feel it as though it's actually happening. This process has taken meditation to a whole other level for me, from quieting the mind to being proactive in creating a new reality.
It challenges the skeptical part of me. It challenges the hopeless part of me. It challenges the passive part of me. It takes me out of my comfort zone. Many days when I do the meditation, it's hard to really connect on a visceral level but other days I'm able to connect much more and it feels really good.
It makes me feel hopeful and empowered about taking a more active role in my future self. It forces me to assess my automatic thoughts and beliefs that may be contributing to keeping me stuck in habitual ways of being that don't serve me. When you're dealing with a chronic health condition, there is enough of a challenge already.
The Buddhist parable of the two arrows is about how the first arrow is what life flings at us, and what we cannot control. This first arrow hurts but it doesn't kill us. The second arrow is our minds' reactions to the first arrow, wishing it didn't happen, wanting it to be different, fear, anxiety, etc.
It's the second arrow that makes the pain unbearable. It's also the second arrow that we have control over. That is essentially what I'm working with in my meditations, trying to become increasingly aware of my second arrow so that I have more control over it. It's a work in progress and always will be.


In honor of World Book Day on April 23, we asked nine local authors, poets, and bibliophiles about the books that had a profound effect on them.
As a teenager, I found a discarded copy of The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood. It was her first book—a raw, rough thing, full of feminist dissociation. In it, the female protagonist becomes engaged to a chauvinist and begins to identify with her food. She can no longer eat, as she feels her own identity devoured by those around her. I read the book once, and then immediately reread it again and again. Here was a writer expressing the same social frustrations I felt, through fiction, in such an undeniably female voice.
When our son Charlie was a baby, I read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss so many times, I committed the entire story to memory. It had an impact on me in two important ways. First, the story, which is about progress without regard to the impact on the planet, reaffirmed and solidified my personal commitment to environmentalism (I mean, c'mon, the poor Brown Barbaloots!). Second, it is a master class in meter and lyricism. You can learn almost as much from Dr. Seuss as you can from Shakespeare about how words work and sound together.
Of all the books on my list, perhaps it's John Milton's Areopagitica that has most influenced me. Printed in 1644, it was written in response to a British government act the previous year demanding all books be licensed by government censors before publication. Although a challenge to today's reader, who is neither fluent in the history of Oliver Cromwell's England nor the composition of its language, there is a fine reward to be gained from reading one of Milton's most accessible prose works—a thought-provoking and comprehensive rendering of the many arguments in favor of freedom and liberty, which are as useful today as they were 373 years ago.
The Chronology of Water: A Memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch is a story of all the things we're not supposed to talk about, especially as women: sexual abuse, motherhood, stillbirth, grief, reclamation of sexuality, taking ownership of your own story. And so much water. But more than the themes, it's the way they're told, with raw, visceral power and bone-scraping honesty. Reading it was a revelation—writing can sound like this, look like this, be structured like this. It felt like a giant gasp of permission. You can write that thing that's been swimming through you for maybe your whole life. And you can tell it this way, the way it feels.
Though raised in the Southwest, I was never a fan of the West as a genre. That changed profoundly when I read S.G. Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches. The brutality, the ordeals, the treachery, and the heroism of all sides became suddenly real and tangible. Empire also changed my life in a deeper, more emotional way. In 1985, my father committed suicide. I've always liked guns, but my reaction was to get rid of what few I owned. When Gwynne explained how the introduction of the cap-and-ball, black powder revolver not only changed combat in the West but also warfare, I became fascinated with these finicky anachronisms. I bought a modern replica and learned to shoot it. Empire rekindled my appreciation of guns as tools and symbols, and every time I go shooting I reclaim something I lost during the worst day of my life.
Ismail Kadare's The Pyramid locates the incessant misery behind the majesty of Ancient Egyptian landscapes. Pyramids arose to manage a tricky problem even in ancient times: the Pharaoh's declining popularity. The solution, according to the seers, "was to eliminate prosperity" by throwing the country's surplus at a mighty project. After reading the book I found myself thinking differently about America's own pyramids: the Vietnam war that still tortures my father, the Keystone pipeline that tears up native lands, all those missile silos underground, Donald Trump's "big fat beautiful wall." I think of how, at the end of his novel, Cheops [an ancient Egyptian pharaoh] begins to fear the pyramid whose construction has broken the spirits of its builders: What good is a tomb unless you use it?
I found Joan Acocella's Twenty-Eight Artists and Two Saints while I was deep in the heart of a rough decade. Deaths of beloved friends and family members, unemployment, divorce, thefts, flood—I began to feel at every turn it could get no worse, until it did. Acocella's introduction offers a model; she is studying artists who suffered grave disappointments or, sometimes, just suffered gravely. Her subjects become exemplars, not just because they were gifted artists, but because they lived with courage, resilience, and patience. They persevered. Did this book change my life? Yes, because it encouraged me to simply keep on with my life.
I'm not much of a drinker, so I was startled by how intensely Sarah Hepola's Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget affected me. Even though it's technically a book about blackout drinking, to me it was really a story of all the ways in which we hide ourselves and deny our feelings and how painful and seemingly impossible it is to try to break out of those habits and into truth. I find myself thinking of how we all have our ways of brokenness, and we all have the hope of making our way out.

Comic Book Industry Reacts To Bill Maher Dissing Stan Lee And Comic Books
By Adam Barnhardt - November 19, 2018 11:16 pm EST
Television personality Bill Maher penned an op-ed on his blog railing against the comic book industry in the wake of the passing of former Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee. Maher dropped lines like "I don't think it's a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important," along with mocking fans who were mourning the loss of the beloved comic creator.
"But then twenty years or so ago, something happened – adults decided they didn't have to give up kid stuff," Maher ranted. "And so they pretended comic books were actually sophisticated literature. And because America has over 4,500 colleges – which means we need more professors than we have smart people – some dumb people got to be professors by writing theses with titles like Otherness and Heterodoxy in the Silver Surfer."
Naturally, several individuals in the comic book industry took to social media to share their response to Maher's post.
Keep scrolling to see the response from various comic creators.
Let's lay it right on the line.
Bill Maher: "I don't think it's a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important."
What a nasty thing to say in connection with Stan Lee's death.

Maybe it's because I'm English but seeing some stuff on line about a blog post from this Bill Maher bloke trashing comics and Stan Lee. So I'm just wondering, who the badgery-Christ is Bill Maher? Other than an arsehole, obviously.

I have no idea what Bill Maher said about Stan Lee.
Bill Maher is an unremarkable piece of shit.
That's all there's worth saying about Bill Maher.

Bill Maher dismisses Stan Lee, comic books and their relevance much the same way people dismissed Lenny Bruce and stand up comedy.

Revisionist historical fiction meets musicvideo fantasy in "Brave New Girl," a rags-to-riches biopic with little controversy, way too much clothing and some good singing. Based on the less-than-stellar novel "A Mother's Gift" written by Britney Spears and her mother, Lynne, this ABC Family semiautobiographical whitewash of a movie should corral a sizable audience.
Granted, using the catchall phrase "inspired by" gives director Bobby Roth and writer Amy Talkington carte blanche with a ho-hum story, but pic is buoyed by heartfelt performances from stars Lindsey Haun and Virginia Madsen. Parents can feel comfortable about letting the 10-and-older crowd watch this family-friendly movie.
Small-town Texas girl Holly (Haun), whose dreams are bigger than the local music pageants, has tough-talkin', tough-lovin' mom Wanda (Madsen) working herself bankrupt trying to keep the dream alive. Holly is about to give up hope on attending the prestigious Haverty Conservatory of Music & Dance in Philadelphia, but mama won't let a little thing like money stop them.
Through luck and pluck, Holly makes it into Haverty, but she has a hard time when her dreams run smack into reality. Holly is targeted by Angela (Barbara Mamabolo), the school's notorious diva; ridiculed for her bumpkin accent; and tormented by teachers for her lack of classical training.
Turns out, most people in the big city are mean and snobby, as is easily discerned by their severe wardrobe and hairdos. But our twangy little country girl eventually wins their hearts through — you guessed it — hard work and determination.
Despite the cliched script, which includes subplots about a poor-little-rich-girl roommate and a boyband-wannabe love interest, the pic has its own charm, namely Haun, a Disney Channel staple who can sing up a storm. She and Madsen, who does her best to invoke Barbara Stanwyck in "Stella Dallas," create some tender mother-daughter chemistry, nicely filling up the rather obvious plot holes that pepper the piece.
Roth keeps steady pace with the drama but tends to overcompensate during the performing sequences with ill-conceived slo-mos and blurry action. Britney Spears makes an appearance in spirit with the big show-stopping finale that reeks of all that's wrong with "American Idol"-manufactured pop music.
Britney's own song "Brave New Girl" is showcased, although original numbers by Steve Plunkett and Spencer Proffer are the real winners here. Tony Kosinec composed the score for the telepic.
ABC Family, Sun. April 25, 8 p.m.
Production: Filmed in Toronto by Lions Gate Television. Executive producers, Britney Spears, Lynne Spears; producer, John Calvert; director, Bobby Roth; writer, Amy Talkington.
Crew: Camera, Eric Van Haren Noman; editor, Henk Van Eeghen; music, Spencer Proffer, Asher Ettinger, Tony Kosinec; casting, Jason LaPadura, Natalie Hart, Stephanie Gorin. 120 MIN.

Blue spaces beat green spaces when it comes to mental health, study finds
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2020 is "Classic Blue."

A room with a blue view can help you feel less blue.
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2020 is "Classic Blue" and there's evidence the soothing hue found in nature can have a powerful effect on human psychology.
Presenting PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, the Pantone Color of the Year 2020. A timeless and enduring blue hue, timeless in its simplicity. #pantone2020 #coloroftheyear pic.twitter.com/L0qH6CohsC

Living in a neighborhood where people have lots of opportunity to gaze at blue spaces — bodies of water like the sea — is associated with lower levels of stress, the authors of a 2016 study found. They didn't see a similar effect with green spaces, contradicting other studies.
The findings may help city planners and others find ways to boost mental health in urban settings, said co-author Amber Pearson.
"It's kind of intuitive that you spend time gazing out at the water and it's relaxing," Pearson, a health geographer and assistant professor at Michigan State University, told TODAY.
"We're living in an increasingly urbanized world. A lot of wealthy countries have over 85 percent of the population living in cities… so if we can find features in cities that promote mental health, this is really going to help us into the future."
New study finds surprising cure for stress
June 14, 201901:08
The study focused on Wellington, New Zealand, which offered some unique features. As the country's capital, it's a highly urbanized area. But it's also surrounded by water — the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean — and it has lots of forests and hills.
Most studies look at how near or far people live from green or blue spaces to examine their health effects. But that doesn't necessarily mean the residents actually see those parks or lakes. Their view could be blocked by hills or tall buildings, for instance.
So Pearson and her colleagues developed a special map to show which Wellington neighborhoods actually had views of green and blue spaces. They then generally matched the results of the New Zealand Health Survey, which regularly gauges the mental and physical health of adults across the country, to residents of those neighborhoods.

Tips for living a longer, healthier life

The results: A "statistically significant" impact on mental health for people who were able to see the sea. Visibility of blue space was associated with lower psychological distress even after accounting for age, sex, income and neighborhood features like crime rates and wealth, Pearson said.
There are still many questions to be answered. Is it only the sea that's so soothing, or could the results be replicated with looking at a lake, river, or man-made pond? The authors don't know, so they'd like to do a similar study in the Great Lakes.
Is looking at a blue space all it takes to feel less stressed, or are there other, more complex, components of the effect?
"There may be other features besides just visual exposure," Pearson said. "Think about looking out at the ocean: you can hear it, hear the waves, and there's a rhythm to that. You can also smell the ocean. We're not sure if it's just visual — it may be other senses as well."
What does slow living mean? Hoda and Maria explain
Oct. 4, 201910:09
She was surprised that green spaces did not have a similar soothing effect. Harvard researchers found living in or near green spaces can boost longevity and mental health. Another recent study found living within about 300 yards of a park or nature reserve was associated with higher life satisfaction, higher sense of worth and more happiness for city dwellers.
Pearson said the green spaces in her study included sports fields and farm land, so she wonders whether focusing just on "high quality green space," like native forests and botanical gardens, would have impacted the results.
The study was published in the journal Health & Place.

Gunner is a horse who definitely lives up to his regal title; he carries himself with a nonchalant, dignified air, making his knightly title of "Sir" very accurate. Although he can sometimes be an aloof stallion, he's never once been known to be mean, and has been a trusted mount for children attending riding classes at Wrenegade on more than one occasion. In particular, he's often the go-to jumping horse for the Akebe family's daughter, Aiko, although usually only when Sato isn't looking, as Dimitri's usual response is a shrug and a cautionary "don't die."
Thus far, Gunnery has given them no reason to worry that rule would not be followed.

Using CIREN Data to Assess the Performance of the Second Generation of Air Bags 2004-01-0842
The U.S. Department of Transportation-sponsored Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) program offers a reasonable look at the efficacy of second-generation air bags. This paper examines the data from the William Lehman Injury Research Center (WLIRC). The WLIRC data is a near census of crashes in the Miami-Dade region with occupants that appear to be severely injured.
The percentage of deaths among trauma patients in the WLIRC data as a function of delta-V for first-generation air bags was higher than expected at lower delta-V's. There were nine driver fatalities at delta-V's of less than 20 mph (four involving short stature occupants, four with elderly occupants, and one due to significant intrusion and/or vehicle incompatibility). The data supported NHTSA's conclusion that first-generation air bags were too aggressive for occupants in close proximity to the deploying air bag and too aggressive for older persons. For second-generation air bags in the WLIRC data, there were no driver fatalities below 25 mph.
There are a number of conclusions that emerge from the trauma center data: The early deficiencies at low speed have been greatly reduced. Generally, steering columns and air bags work well together to provide high severity protection, although late deployments can still cause chest injury in moderate severity crashes. These injuries to abdominal organs may be difficult to detect at the crash scene.
The fatality rate for first- and second-generation passenger air bags also showed some interesting patterns. There were four fatalities at delta-V's of less than 20 mph with first-generation air bags (two infants in rear-facing child seats, two unbelted children younger than 3). There was one unexpected fatality at moderate severity to an out-of-position adult. An examination of WLIRC data reveals that among second-generation passenger air bags, there have been no child fatalities, no out-of-position related fatalities, and no elderly fatalities below 20 mph delta-V.

Q: Translating Mapping long/lat code from R (sp pkg) to Python This is my first time asking question in Stack Overflow, I hope I am providing enough information.
Spyder 3.2.3
Python 3.6.2 64bits, Qt 5.6.2, PyQt5 5.6 on Windows 10
I have written code in R to identify and map clusters using Long/Lat
I am now tasked with translating it into Python language for which I am not even novice yet (can harldy spell python, lol.
Here is sample data:
Actual number of records = 2350 and other non-essential columns for my immediate question needs
x <- tmp1[,c(4)]
head(x,n=15)

Here is the first step of the process and where I encounter my first error:
In Spyder I get this "colon" error
xy = r.SpatialPointsDataFrame(matrix(c(x,y), ncol=2),
     r.data.frame(ID = r.seq(1:length(x))),
     proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84"))

Error here: SyntaxError: invalid syntax
data.frame(ID=seq(1:length(x))),
One of many links I have perused for help
Getting a Colon Syntax Error in Python
IN R it looks like this:
xy <- SpatialPointsDataFrame(matrix(c(x,y), ncol=2), data.frame(ID=seq(1:length(x))),
                         proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84"))

I Tried with & w/o the :, with a , and no 1?
I have reviewed many links trying to get past this first step but have found no solution
I have tried to parse it out piece by piece and naturally get other errors as well.
r.data.frame(ID = r.seq(1:length(x)))
