-- A New Hope Luke Skywalker's game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though he's a long way from mastering the power of the Force, there's no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilot—and in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, there's no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause. A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by Imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empire's purposes. But the prospective spy's sympathies lie with the Rebels, and she's willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. It's an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire that's too precious to pass up. It's also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, who's got a score of her own to settle with the Empire. Challenged by ruthless Imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, it's now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive. -- —New York -- —Roqoo Depot "Entertaining . . . action-packed . . . suspenseful."—New York Journal of Books "Great . . .

There must not be a court case involving your child. But, if you move out of state and the other parent files a parental responsibilities case in Illinois within 6 months, you will probably have to come to Illinois to participate in the case. You may even have to return your child to Illinois.
If you already have a court order about parental responsibilities, and you have the most parenting time, you can move the child without asking the court or the other parent, if the move is not a relocation. In most cases you will need to give the other parent your new address.
Move more than 50 miles away from the original home within Illinois if it is not in Cook County, DuPage, McHenry, Kane, Lake, or Will Counties.
File a notice of intent to relocate, and give a copy to the other parent at least 60 days before your planned relocation.
If the other parent agrees and signs your notice, you can file the signed notice with the court and move without going to court further. The court will also change your parenting plan/parental responsibilities order to allow the move.
If the other parent doesn't agree or doesn't sign the notice, then you must ask the court for permission to relocate.

Virajananda, a direct monastic disciple of Vivekananda and sixth President of the Ramakrishna Order
Kalikrishna Bose
Calcutta, Bengal Presidency, British India
30 May 1951(1951-05-30) (aged 77)
President of the Ramakrishna Order from Dec 1938 to May 1951
Swami Virajananda (10 June 1873 – 30 May 1951), born Kalikrishna Bose, was an initiated disciple of Sarada Devi and the sixth president of the Ramakrishna Order.[1] Born as the son of Trailokyanath Bose and Nishadkalidevi, Virajananda was the first person to join the Ramakrishna Order after the direct disciples of Ramakrishna. In 1897, he was initiated into sannyasa by Vivekananda. From 1899 onward he served in Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati and became its president in 1906. He is recognised as a monastic disciple of Vivekananda.
Along with Swarupananda, Virajananda played a great role in popularising the monthly magazine of the order, Prabuddha Bharata. He was also responsible for successful completion of compilation and publishing of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. He then edited and published a biography of Vivekananda in 1906 under the title The Life of Swami Vivekananda by his Eastern and Western Disciples. He was appointed the president of the Advaita Ashrama at Mayavati in 1913. In 1924, he became the General Secretary of the Ramakrishna Order. In 1938, he became the 6th President of the Ramakrishna Mission. He was the main source of inspiration behind the founding of two educational institutes of that mission, known as Vidyamandir and Sarada Pith.

Pre-monastic life
Kalikrishna, as he was called in his pre-monastic life, was born on 10 June 1873 to Trailokyanath Bose and Nishadkali Devi on the Hindu festival day of bathing festival (snan yatra) of Jagannath.[2]: 54 He had his early education from Hembabu's training academy and passed his matriculation from Ripon School in 1890.[2]: 56 He was adept in extracurricular activities like handicrafts, fine arts, cooking and gardening from an early age.[2]: 56 He was inspired by his friend Khagendranath, later Vimalananda, a disciple of Vivekananda, to lead a spiritual life.[2]: 56 He also had a group of young friends who later became renunciates and who also joined the Ramakrishna order. Among them were Sudhir Chandra Chakravarty (Swami Shuddhananda), Sushil Chandra Chakravarty (Swami Prakashananda), Govinda Shukul (Swami Atmananda) and Haripada Chatterjee (Swami Bodhananda).[2]: 56 Kalikrishna joined Ripon college and came in contact with Ram Chandra Datta, one of the foremost householder disciples of Ramakrishna, and the founder of Kankurgachi Yogodyan. He was also intimate with Mahendranath Gupta or M and another prominent householder disciple of Ramakrishna, who was at that time a professor of English at Ripon college.[2]: 58 M inspired him to visit Baranagar Math and meet the direct monastic disciples of Ramakrishna. After spending many days there in company of the monks, Kalikrishna renounced his worldly life and joined the Baranagar Math as an inmate.[2]: 62 He served all the prominent monastic disciples like Ramakrishnananda, Niranjananda and Saradananda. He also went on a pilgrimage to Bodhgaya. He went to Jayrambati to attend the Jagaddhatri Puja conducted by Sarada Devi's family, along with Saradananda.[2]: 63 In 1892, the monastery of the Ramakrishna Order was shifted to Alambazar and was called Alambazar Math. There Kalikrishna got an opportunity to meet and serve Gopaler Ma, a woman disciple of Ramakrishna. Under instruction from Sarada Devi he went back home and stayed with his family to recuperate from a broken health and there he followed an intense spiritual routine.[2]: 68 In 1895, he went to Benaras and Vrindavan for performing spiritual austerities and stayed with direct monastic disciples of Ramakrishna like Brahmananda, Baburam Maharaj, Advaitananda and Yogananda.[2]: 72 He also stayed in the house of Hariprasanna Chatterjee, later Vijnanananda to recoup his health.[2]: 72 However all this time he was greatly inspired by Vivekananda and his exploits in the West and was awaiting his return. In 1897, he reached Calcutta and met Vivekananda. Within a few days of their first meeting, Vivekananda granted sannyas to Kalikrishna who was renamed as Virajananda (Vi-rajas, without stain).[2]: 75
Monastic life and contributions
Virajananda went to Deoghar for famine relief activities, but he was largely involved in serving Vivekananda. He went to dhaka together with Prakashananda. In Barisal he met Ashwini Kumar Dutta, the great philosopher, nationalist leader, educationist and freedom fighter, and in Deobhog he met Durga Charan Nag, popularly called Nag Mahasaya, the direct householder disciple of sri Ramakrishna.[2]: 78 After returning from East Bengal, Virajananda was entrusted to serve Vivekananda as a personal attendant. When Vivekananda went to the West for a second time, Virajananda was sent to Mayavati to work for Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India, together with Swami Swarupananda. When Vivekananda visited Mayavati in December 1900 to January 1901, Virajananda made all arrangements for his travel and personal comfort.[2]: 80 In 1901 Virajananda went for a pilgrimage to Kedarnath and Badrinath. After returning from the pilgrimage, he started working on popularising Prabuddha Bharata in Northern and Western India. He also visited the Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama Kankhal and stayed with his brother disciple Swami Kalyanananda.[2]: 86 During his canvassing tour he received the news of his master's demise and returned to Mayavati. He immersed himself in spiritual pursuits like meditation and austerities and his health broke down.[2]: 88 At this stage he received instructions on spiritual practices from the Sarada Devi in Jayrambati and returned to Belur Math. He became a personal attendant to Brahmananda, the then President of the Ramakrishna Order. From 1906 to 1913 Virajananda was the president of the Advaita Ashrama at Mayavati. Under his stewardship the ashrama got over the financial difficulties that it was in and the circulation of Prabuddha Bharata also increased. He also took up the task of compiling the Complete works of Swami Vivekananda in five volumes. He also worked on editing the Life of Swami Vivekananda, by his Eastern and Western disciples, the first such comprehensive biography.[2]: 90 On this work he was congratulated by Akhandananda, Saradananda, Abhedananda and his brother disciple Shuddhananda.[2]: 91 He was also appointed as a trustee of Ramakrishna Math and a member of the governing body of Ramakrishna Mission in 1906.[2]: 92 In 1913 he set up a retreat in the Himalayan foothills and named the place as Shyamala Tal. He set up the Vivekananda Ashrama there. Here he continued his spiritual practices and also worked on the biography of Vivekananda. He also established the Ramakrishna Home of Service here. He also served as the secretary of the organising committee of the first convention of the monks of the Ramakrishna order in 1926 in Belur Math.[3] He helped the Ramakrishna Order to tide over a major crisis in 1929 and temporarily took charge of Ramakrishna Math at Baghbazar (Mother's House or Udbodhan House) and Sister Nivedita Girls' School. He served as a secretary of the Ramakrishna Order for a year in 1930 and was again appointed Secretary in 1934.[2]: 95 During his secretaryship he helped in organising the Sri Ramakrishna Birth Centenary Celebration and the Parliament of world Religions in Calcutta in 1937.[2]: 95 He was elected as the Vice-President of the Ramakrishna order in 1938 and was also elected as the President in December 1938 when his brother disciple Shuddhananda died in October 1938. He used to call himself the Chief Monastic Servant of the order. He dreamt of a Vivekananda University and was the inspiration behind the founding of the two educational institutions in Belur Math, Belur Vidyamandir and Sarada Pitha.[2]: 99 The foundation for the first college of Ramakrishna Mission was laid on 31 January 1940 under his guidance. Even after becoming president of the order, he would spend a few months every year in Shyamal Tal in the Himalayas. The last year of his life was spent at Belur Math.
Last years
After assuming the responsibility of the Presidency, he suffered from heart and liver problems, and various ailments of old age.[2]: 105 He attained Mahasamadhi on 30 May 1951.
Gambhirananda, in his book History of Ramakrishna Math and Mission writes that Virajananda, besides having his spiritual training at the feet of Sarada Devi, had served Vivekananda personally and had long served in the Ramakrishna Math and Mission in various capacities. All these qualifications marked him out as an outstanding personality in the Ramakrishna Order. He proved to the most successful president who lived long enough to guide the organisation, all its members, as well as the lay devotees whom he initiated. During his tenure India marked famines, the Second World War, political instability and the partition of India, which also adversely affected the Ramakrishna Math and Mission.[3]: 278

U.S. Postal Service Operation Medicine Delivery Exercise Outcomes Summary
On May 5-6, 2012, the Minneapolis-St. Paul area conducted a major test of the National Postal Model for distribution of medicine to the public in an emergency, using U.S. Postal Service assets to supplement mass dispensing sites and other strategies. The May exercise, known as Operation Medicine Delivery, was the culmination of planning efforts that began in February 2004, with a memorandum of agreement signed by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and the Postmaster General. Parties to the 2004 MOA agreed to make USPS resources available for distributing emergency medicine in response to a bioterrorist attack. A subsequent presidential executive order (December 2009) called for the development of a federal capability to distribute medical countermeasures (MCM) in response to a bioterrorist attack.

Fintech was the most overused buzzword at Davos this year. The excitement and concern over the disruption by fintech startups was promoted by the world's largest financial institutions. There was little to no representation from any fintech startups. The incumbents are excited by the potential of new innovations and are hopeful that regulators will control (Kill) startups that threaten their businesses.
Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on the same panel that European economies are far "too dependent" on the banking system, and regulators would welcome alternative providers of financing to consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses. "We need alternatives, and technology can help," he said. "Regulators should never be at the front of technological development. Regulators should follow it as closely as possible, understand it and deal with financial stability and consumer protection. You don't want to over regulate before you understand it." Even new entrants were surprised at how quickly the changes brought on by technology became the dominant theme for banking discussions.

The primary goal of endodontic treatment is to keep the pulpal space free of microorganisms and to prevent recurrent infection. Oral bacteria and their by-products can penetrate this space if there is inadequate coronal or apical seal. Apical leakage leading to reinfection of an obturated canal has been the major cause of failed endodontic treatment. However, recently, attention has been drawn to the significance of coronal seal in endodontic success. Microbial contamination through the occlusal surface, leading to coronal leakage constitutes a large percentage of failed root canal treatments. This paper highlights the clinical and biological implications of coronal leakage and the means to prevent the same.
Context: Disinfection of obturating materials is mandatory for the successful root canal therapy. In literature, various disinfectants have been used to sterilize gutta-percha including sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Effectiveness of peracetic acid over NaOCl is documented in literature, but no study to date has shown the effect of peracetic acid disinfection on gutta-percha surface. Aim: This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3% NaOCl, 1% peracetic acid, 0.5% octenisept in disinfecting gutta-percha cones and to analyze surface alterations of gutta-percha cones after chemical disinfection. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty gutta-percha cones were immersed in bacterial suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for 5 min. Cones were then immersed in 3% NaOCl, 1% peracetic acid, 0.5% octenisept for 1 and 5 min. After disinfection, cones were incubated in Mueller Hinton Broth at 37°C for 7 days. Samples were observed at 24 h interval and those showing turbidity were subcultured. For morphologic evaluation, cones were immersed in disinfecting solutions for 1 and 5 min, dried on a paper pad for 10 min and analyzed under scanning electron microscope. Data was analyzed using Pearson Chi-square test. Results: One percent of peracetic acid was found to be most effective disinfectant. Surface alterations were found in all the groups. Conclusion: The outcome of this study confirmed the efficacy of 1% peracetic acid in the disinfection of gutta-percha cones. Topographic changes caused by peracetic acid should be evaluated further to determine its effect on gutta-percha properties and obturation seal.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the intensity of needle phobia and to evaluate the different dimensions of fear of dental injections to help provide better care to the patients. Materials and Methods: A simple random technique was used and 250 adult patients above 18 years of age were selected who attended outpatients Department of Operative Dentistry, Baqai Dental College. A modified form of the structured questionnaire used by Milgrom et al. was generated. The items were scored based on the 5-point traditional Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Data were analyzed for descriptive analysis (mean, standard deviation) using the software SPSS version 19. Association of gender with fear of dental injections was evaluated using Chi-squared test (P = 0.05). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in fear of dental injections among male and female subjects. The most fearful aspect of dental injection was found to be fear of cross-infection. Fears associated with local anesthesia, for example, inadequate numbness, adverse reaction, and trouble in breathing or swallowing were the least common fears reported by the patients. Conclusion: This study highlighted that understanding the nature and extent of patients' fear of injection is important for dentists to expand their knowledge of the association of fear of dental needles for the impact on the treatment outcome and reluctance of the patients intervene.
Purpose: To evaluate the bonding effectiveness to dentin of eight dual-cure composite cements after 6-month water storage. Materials and Methods: This study is a follow-up of a recent study that investigated the 1-week bonding effectiveness of feldspathic ceramic blocks luted to dentin using the same composite cements and experimental protocol. The microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of different composite cements, including two etch-and-rinse cements (Calibra, Dentsply; Variolink II, Ivoclar-Vivadent), two self-etch cements (Panavia F2.0, Kuraray; Clearfil Esthetic Cement, Kuraray), and four self-adhesive cements (Unicem, 3M ESPE; Maxcem, Kerr; Monocem, Shofu; G-Cem, GC), was measured using a standardized μTBS protocol after 6-month water storage. As control, a two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil SE, Kuraray) combined with a microhybrid restorative composite (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) was used. Twenty-seven human third molars were used with specific preparation, and after 6-month water storage, microspecimens were prepared and subjected to a μTBS test. Results: The mean μTBS varied from 0 to 26.1 MPa, the latter being measured for the control adhesive composite combination. All specimens prepared using the self-adhesive composite cements Maxcem and Monocem failed during specimen processing. Most specimens failed at the dentin-cement interface, except the self-etch composite cement Panavia F2.0 that failed in 53% of the cases at the cement-ceramic interface and the control of which all specimens failed in the resin part of the microspecimens. Conclusion: The largely varying bonding effectiveness recorded for the different composite cements highlights the need for material specifications. Such specifications should also include a bond durability test as the specimens in the present study that were subjected to 6-month water storage. To lute ceramic restorations that allow light transmission to a sufficient degree, a conventional light-curable adhesive and composite should be considered.
Objective: This study is aimed to investigate the effect of thermal cycling and microhardness on surface roughness of four different composite restorative materials. Materials and Methods: In this study Nonofilled(Ivoclar Heliomolar, 3M ESPE Filtek Supreme) and microhybrid(3M ESPE Filtek Z250, Kuraray Clearfil AP-X) composites were used. The surface roughness (Ra) was initially measured in a profilometer using a cut off 0,25mm, after 6000 and 12000 thermal cycles. In addition to microhardness of composites Vicker hardness (HV) were determined. Data were subjected to Anova and Tukey's test.(α=0,05). Results: One-way Anova indicated significant differences in Vicker hardness(HV) between four composite resins. Significant lowest HV was found for Heliomolar (HV=22); mean values were considerably lower than three composite resins. In addition to overall 6000 thermal cycles increased the surface of roughness values for all materials and there was a trend in all groups to decrease the roughness after 12000 thermal cycles. Conclusion: The material composition including type of organic matrix could be more relevant to roughness maintenance over time than the general behavior of composites based on particle fillers. Moreover, this study revealed that correlations between microhardness (HV) and surface of roughness were poor.

Tings Kathmandu The best hotel location in Kathmandu This posting is one we have been looking forward to for a very long time….
For as long as we have lived in Kathmandu we have followed the local art scene.
We love art and since we opened Tings we wanted to use our premises to either inspire local artists by showing what we like ourselves OR show travelers passing by Tings, local guests and friends of Tings works by local talented young artists.
For the first time we have a show with Nepalese artist only…. and it really thrills us. Especially because the artists are someone we have followed for a long time.
We still don't know what they will show. But we will blog about their progress – hopefully on a daily basis. But that depends on the bits and pieces we receive….
Until we get something we'll introduce each of the artists starting from tomorrow.
Until we have a name for the event we call it: TakeNoPrisoners@Tings – read why here.
After a lot of talk we had the first meeting on 4 August.

Detroit Regional Chamber > News & Media > News & Media: News Coverage > Howes: Regional Amazon Bid to Test Leadership Cohesion
Howes: Regional Amazon Bid to Test Leadership Cohesion
Posted on September 18, 2017 by Nick
Daniel Howes
Mayor Mike Duggan likens the gathering regional bid to land Amazon's second headquarters to delivering Detroit Super Bowl XL more than a decade ago.
But it's not even close. The hunt for Amazon is far larger, far more competitive and far more likely to tax the ability of just about anyone to corral business, political and civic leaders around a deadline measured in weeks, not years. The deadline is Oct. 19 to proffer a plan to compete for a $5 billion investment worth 50,000 jobs.
"We've got five weeks," the mayor said Thursday at Crain's Detroit Business's Detroit Homecoming. "We're up against really tough competition from really good cities."
Yes, we are — as Detroit Regional Chamber CEO Sandy Baruah learned this week when he flew to Toronto for a speech on trade between Canada and the United States. On the minds of the Canadian CEOs: luring Amazon's massive economic play north of the border, no mean feat in the era of Trump.
This is no secret to the online retail giant, of course. With a single press release, Amazon unleashed an interstate and intercity feeding frenzy for a chance to land one of the biggest economic development fish since, when? The stakes are high, and the cost is likely to be even higher.
That's not deterring Detroit's mayor, facing re-election. It's not deterring Quicken Loans Inc. Chairman Dan Gilbert, who quickly accepted Duggan's offer to chair the regional effort to prepare an Amazon bid. And it's not deterring local and state politicians, or a business community that is far more active in economic development efforts than their predecessors a decade ago.
It shouldn't.
In fundamental ways, this region is different than the one industrialist Roger Penske shepherded through the process of bidding for a Super Bowl (at the personal request of Bill Ford Jr., whose family owns the Lions). It's more competent, more confident and often more regionally cooperative.
It's witnessed the deep costs of division and political corruption, of big business that worries more about bragging rights with competitors than being competitive. It's tasted the ignominy of financial dissolution, and seen how private capital can breed renewal.
Weathering the near-collapse of two Detroit automakers, the Great Recession and the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history can do that. Seeing the crucial importance of individual leaders in a broader mosaic of leadership can, too. So can national embarrassment.
Southeast Michigan is legendary for parochial infighting pitting city against suburb, for measuring solutions to difficult civic problems in decades, not years, for fixating on why change cannot happen instead of pushing to make it happen.
Which raises a critical point that will be answered by the success of Gilbert & Co. to rally disparate leaders quickly around a cohesive bid: Were the speed and decisiveness of the auto restructuring, of the city's financial workout, of the revitalization of downtown just historical aberrations?
Or are they harbingers of a can-do future liberated from the confrontational zero-sum game that helped drive Detroit and its hometown auto industry to the edge of complete financial collapse?
Look, no one should kid themselves: For a bid that seeks access to regional transit with connections to an international airport, the region that put America on wheels is woefully behind. For a bid that aims to create a second headquarters hub for one of 21st-century America's iconic corporate brands, southeast Michigan isn't too far removed from the stain of bankruptcy, municipal and corporate.
How indelible are those stains, if at all?
We're about to find out.
"This is a no-lose proposition for southeast Michigan," says Baruah of the Chamber. "Best case is we prevail under some very heavy competition. Even if we don't win, but come close. It's still a win for us. We learn how to do this well."
Whatever happens, business and political leaders arguably are more aligned around the economic way forward than any time in decades. The Democratic mayor of Detroit and the Republican governor coalesce around common problems, and more often than not so do their respective lawmakers.
Business leaders are more predisposed to dig into civic problems, with a dozen or so of their top leaders coming together in a new, still-unnamed group to champion reform. For the first time in a decade or more, Detroit's automakers are led by longtime Michiganders — Mary Barra at General Motors Co. and Bill Ford and Jim Hackett at Ford.
None of that is enough to guarantee success in the campaign for Amazon. But it should give southeast Michigan a chance to earn a win that could change its economic trajectory.

Q: Switching values from 2 columns I am writing a Python script that reads an Excel sheet.
In my excel sheet I have two columns, let's say A & B.
If column B's value is greater than column A I would like to switch it.

Example Sheet:
[A]     [B]
 1       6
 10      2
 3       11

Output Wanted:
[A]     [B]
 6       1
 10      2
 11      3

Right now I have this, but it is giving me completely different values:
s = (~(col['A'] < col['B'])).cumsum().eq(0)
col.loc[s, 'B'] /=2
col.loc[s, 'A'] = col.loc[s, ['A', 'B']].sum(1)

A: I'm assuming you're using Pandas based on your syntax.  This would be a good situation for using the DataFrame.apply() method.
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 10, 3], 'B': [6, 2, 11]})

def switch(row):
    if row['A'] < row['B']:
        row['A'], row['B'] = row['B'], row['A']
    return row
df = df.apply(switch, axis=1)
print(df)

gives:
    A  B
0   6  1
1  10  2
2  11  3

Anthony Weiner's imploding candidacy for mayor has made good headlines, but the story has been a distraction from the city's increasing inequality and discriminatory policing practices.
On Sunday, Anthony Weiner's campaign manager quit amid new revelations that Weiner continued to engage in sexually explicit online communications after he resigned from Congress. And while Weiner's imploding candidacy for New York City mayor has made good headlines, the story has been a distraction from the real scandals—increasing inequality, discriminatory policing practices—that must be addressed in this election.
Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel joins a panel on ABC's This Week to discuss Weiner's prospects going forward, but also to refocus the debate away from "Carlos Danger" and towards the issues that truly matter to New Yorkers.
In Defense of Carlos Danger.


Last week was the 11th week of the 2019 legislative session. There are 7 weeks left before the General Assembly adjourns on May 10. Here are the highlights from Senate floor action from last week.
FLOOD RELIEF FOR HOMEOWNERS – The Senate passed S. 259, a bill that would create a new revolving fund to provide low interest loans to perform flooded-home buyouts and floodplain restoration. The bill will now go to the House of Representatives.
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS – The Senate passed H. 3438, a bill that would create a new, cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs. The House will now consider the Senate's amendments.
SPADEFISH CATCH LIMITS – The Senate passed S. 476, a bill that would set catch and size limits on spadefish. The bill will now go to the House.
CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR VETERINARIANS – The Senate passed H. 3732, a bill that would require veterinarians who are authorized to prescribe certain controlled medications to have continuing education on prescribing and monitoring controlled drugs. The bill will now go to Governor McMaster.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME – The Senate passed S. 11, a bill that would have South Carolina observe Daylight Savings Time year-around if Congress passes legislation authorizing states to do that. The bill will now go to the House of Representatives.
ONLINE NOTARIZATIONS – The Senate passed S. 486, a bill that would allow for the electronic notarization of certain documents. The House will now consider the bill.
UPDATED RULES FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS – The Senate passed S. 132, a bill that would update the Physician Assistants practice act. The purpose is to give PA's more autonomy, while still requiring supervision from physicians, in order to expand access to health care, especially in rural areas. The bill will now go to the House of Representatives.
CHILDREN'S TRUST FUND – The Senate passed S. 498, a bill that would allow DSS to enter agreements with the Children's Trust Fund for child abuse treatment and reporting. The bill will now go to the House.
PROTECTIONS FOR SERVICE MEMBERS – The Senate passed H. 3180, a bill that would provide additional protections for service members who are deployed.
As an example, the bill would allow for service members to cancel certain contracts – gym memberships, cell phone agreements, etc. – if they are ordered to deploy for a period of time and cannot benefit from the contracts during their deployment. The bill will go back to the House of Representatives to consider Senate amendments.
MULTISTATE LICENSING FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS – The Senate passed S. 573, a bill that would allow the Board of Financial Institutions to enter into multistate agreements for the licensing of financial institutions in multiple states. The House will now consider the bill.
AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE –The Senate passed S. 579, a bill that would require automobile insurers to file rate increases with the Department of Insurance every six months and prohibit increases more than one time per year unless approved by the Department. This bill should limit the ever-increasing automobile insurance rates. The House will now consider the bill.
SANTEE COOPER – Last week, two resolutions were introduced in the Senate that would provide for the sale of Santee Cooper. The resolutions will be considered by the Senate Finance and Judiciary Committees this week. I will keep you updated.
TURKEY HUNTING SEASON – The Senate Fish, Game & Forestry Committee sent S. 575 to the full Senate for consideration. The bill makes changes to turkey hunting season and the bag limits. I have received a good bit of input on this bill, especially from the National Wild Turkey Federation. I expect the Senate to debate the bill this week.
K-12 EDUCATION REFORM – The Senate Education Committee's subcommittee has held more than 10 meetings so far – including 4 night hearings across the state – to work on revisions and improvements to H. 3759, a bill designed to address education reform issues.
On Monday night, I attended an Aiken County Legislative Delegation meeting.
Wednesday was the annual day for selected Aiken County high school students to come to Columbia to tour the State House and shadow legislators. Every high school in the county was represented, offering a great opportunity for high school students to learn about state government.
On Wednesday night, I spoke at Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Gilbert as part of its "This is Us" series. The series brings in community members with various backgrounds and allows them to share their story as a way of allowing us to get to know each other better. I really enjoyed the visit.
On Friday, I visited Aiken High School and spent some time talking with teachers about ideas to improve and strengthen South Carolina's educational system.

The decree is the legal act which is accepted by some authorities and officials. If to speak about local government, the regulations make the Executive branch.

- an appeal addressed to the head of the administration;
- copy of the identity document of the applicant;
- extract from the Unified state register of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs (original);
- legislation on the issue;
- notarized copies of legal documents on this issue.
Noting the decision of the head of administration factual or editorial error, write to the appeal. In the upper part indicate to whom you are applying (position, surname and initials), and also data on the applicant — surname, first name and patronymic, registration address and phone number. You can attach a photocopy of the identity document.
The main text of the treatment start in the same way as any statement: "Please amend the text of the decision of the head of administration...". Write the full name, date of adoption and number. You can also specify the date of publication and publication name. Note, in this connection, you are asking to make changes and the point at which the error occurred. Mark the date and signature.
Print the appeal in duplicate. Pass it through the Secretary General or the Department and make sure that the document was endorsed. Usually consideration is given 30 days. The period may be extended if required additional expertise. But in any case you should get a written response.
If you believe that the decision does not comply with the Russian legislation — refer the complaint to the Prosecutor. It's helpful in the case when you do not fixed the actual error. The Prosecutor's office will check. It can detect in the violation of the law, and in this case, will render a protest and oblige the local authority to amend.
The change in resolution may be made by the court. Before you write the application, consult with a lawyer working in this area of law. In the statement specify, what legal standards does not correspond to the disputed document. It is also useful to look for precedents when similar issues were made fair, in your opinion, judgments.

The other night I was reading through old journals that documented my decade long quest to find my true life's work – the thing that would set my heart and soul on fire and I stumbled on my high school yearbook! (I haven't looked at that in at least 20 years.) I was the Copy Editor of the yearbook my senior year in high school (actual pic to the left – no making fun of the hair people). That is when a teacher put me in a leadership position and gave me my first taste of what it feels like to have a sense of purpose. That experience pulled me into the light at a time in my life when it was quite dark.
In that position, I learned how to lead. I learned I had something to give. I learned I could help others find what they love to do. For the first time, I felt my life was meaningful. That taste gave me a thirst to pursue that feeling again and when I found myself off track after college I felt the stark contrast between how it feels to do what you are designed to do versus how it feels when you are not.
I read every book I could get my hands on about finding your passion/purpose and as I took one step after another, I got closer and closer. Did it need to take so long? Definitely not but I do not have any regrets about those years because I learned SO much. I grew professionally inside of those companies. Incredible people mentored me. I learned how to work on a team. I learned how to lead. I learned how to maintain high standards, discipline and work ethic. All of that created the foundation for where I am today, living my SoulFUEL™, doing work that matters to me, through this business.
When was the last time you felt on purpose?
When you did work that mattered to you?
When you lost track of time because you were so engrossed and IN LOVE with the task at hand.
When you knew with certainty that everything you experienced in your life led you to this very moment where you flowed naturally and brilliantly.
You may have to go back to your high school days to remember the feeling of doing something you loved, or perhaps it was more recent. Either way, you are worthy of the inquiry – the curiosity to discover what you are here to do and reconnect to who you really are, even if you feel it's too late. Even if you have no clue what it might be. Even if you are plagued with self doubt, and feel terrified.
One of my clients is in her 60s. She recently enrolled her first client doing something that is right ON purpose for her. When she first came to me, she was massively confused about what she could do that would fire her up and make her money from anywhere in the world. Now she has clarity. Now when she talks about her work, she lights up and is growing her work from that inspired place.
She couldn't live without trying.
Another one of my clients is only 26. When she first came to me, all she knew was something was calling her (yelling at her actually!) but she did not know what that was exactly. She had only known herself professionally in her role as a manager at one of the largest retail stores in the country but she felt she HAD to follow the call in her heart to figure it out. She knew she couldn't live without at least trying. Now, she is working with her first three clients doing what feels so incredibly natural to her, and building her purpose-passion-freedom-based-business.
It does not matter what your status is in life.
It does not matter how old you are.
It does not matter what certification you do or do not have.
You DO have something very special to offer and YOU are worth figuring out exactly what THAT is. Please, don't allow anything to get in the way of that pursuit. It is worth every single bit of your effort and heart.
I know if I never tried, I would have never known it really is possible.
It IS possible to live a life you love making the difference you are here to make.
It took me ten very long years and it doesn't have to take you that long.
Feel free to post a comment below and share where your heart is leading you. I'd love to cheer you on!

THE MIRACLES RELEASE "OOO BABY BABY," SMOKEY COMMENTS ON GROUP MEMBER BOBBY ROGERS'S DEATH
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles released their hit single "Ooo Baby Baby," today (March 5, 1965).
The track was co-written by Smokey Robinson and Miracles member Pete Moore and features the instrumentation of The Funk Brothers.
"Ooo Baby Baby" hit #4 on the charts, and quickly became one of The Miracles standard songs.
The Miracles featured Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore, Ronnie White, Claudette Rogers and her cousin, Bobby Rogers.
The group first hit the charts for Berry Gordy's new Tamla label with the song "Bad Girl."
The following year, The Miracles would enter into pop history with the song "Shop Around," which was not only the first #1 single for the group, but for also for Berry Gordy's Tamla label.
In 1965, The Miracles released their groundbreaking album Going To a Go-Go, which included four Top 10 singles: "Tracks of My Tears," "Going to a Go-Go," "My Girl Has Gone" and "Ooo Baby Baby."
Sadly, group member Bobby Rogers died this past Sunday (March 3, 2013), at his home in Detroit.
Rogers, 73, was sick for several years and missed The Miracles induction ceremony into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
"Another soldier in my life has fallen. Bobby Rogers was my brother and a really good friend," Smokey Robinson told RareSoul.com in a statement. "He and I were born on the exact same day in the same hospital in Detroit. I am really going to miss him. I loved him very much."
And Grouchy Greg's favorite version:
Sorry Linda.

Since my book Dive Right In – The Sharks Won't Bite: The Entrepreneurial Woman's Guide to Success was published in 1995, I have seen plenty of amazing changes happen for women founders, including an increase in resources, networks and opportunities. I have observed these positive shifts not only in my own work life, but also through mentoring women and being involved in a number of female-focused organizations, such as the National Association of Women Business Owners and the National Women's Business Council.
But despite these positive changes, overall revenues for women-owned businesses have stagnated. In fact, women's share of revenue has actually decreased from 4.4 percent to 4.2 percent of all U.S. firms since 1997. What's more, according to the National Association of Women Business Owners, only 4.2 percent of women-owned enterprises ever reaches the million-dollar mark. Why? That's a tough question to answer, but I suspect that it partially involves various forms of gender bias or stereotyping. We have expectations about how women should think and behave, and how driven they should be when it comes to business, success and money. This bias, on the part of both men and women, has changed little during the past 20 years, although now it can often be more subtle.
But gender bias is not the only roadblock to building a thriving business. Women's own fears and beliefs often stand in their way to success. Here are three of the personal barriers that continue to plague women and what they can do about it.
One of the biggest problems I saw in the mid '90s with women wanting to start businesses was their inability to choose one business and focus on it. They would tell me about all the businesses they wanted to launch but kept stalling. At first, I thought this was a commitment issue until I realized that it was a form of perfectionism. Everything had to be perfect before they would officially launch.
Today, I see this in the woman who won't start a business until she has the perfect name for the company, the woman who won't delegate tasks because she can do it better herself, or the woman who obsesses over the fact that a client complained about some minor glitch. Yes, the name of your company is important, but don't let it keep you from launching. And doing everything yourself is a way to get tasks done perfectly, but it's not the way to build a business. You need employees, partners or outside help in order to grow. And, of course, you want satisfied customers, but don't let something minor through you off track.
Women often blame themselves for minor imperfections. Don't do that. You need to fix the problem and move on.
For women, discussing money is often seen as unattractive. When I was growing up, girls were sometimes told, "Don't worry your pretty little head about that." I realize that it's difficult to imagine someone being so politically incorrect today, but there are other ways that girls and women are taught that money is a messy topic and it's better for them to stay away from it.
Often women internalize this message and act as if money is just too boring or difficult for them to think about. Or worse, the concept of financial success makes them feel guilty. Notice that I wrote "concept," because I don't know any woman who is financially independent who feels guilty about it. On the other hand, guilt and discomfort with money impacts business growth in countless ways, from setting fees and prices to controlling cash flow and obtaining financing.
Here's just one example: A top financial advisor recently told me that, in his experience, men are better than women in defending their numbers when seeking funding. I believed him. His advice to women was to prepare carefully and to completely understand their cash flow projections. But this is impossible if the topic of money bores you, or makes you feel guilty, unattractive or hopelessly ill-at-ease. To succeed, women must overcome their discomfort with money, especially when gender bias on the topic is still alive and well in the business world.
Women have been socialized to be "liked" since time immemorial. Today, we recognize that the need to be liked can stand in the way of our entrepreneurial success. The bottom line is simple: In business, it's more important to be respected than to be liked, whether dealing with clients, employees, suppliers or other stakeholders. And the good news is that being respected usually means being liked as well.
I suggest that women pay attention to this need in all business interactions, but especially during their sales presentations. Too often women tell me that they did everything they could to charm and please the perspective customer but walked away without a deal. Some women even compared the sales meeting to dating, feeling painfully rejected when they didn't get the business.
But a sales presentation is not about being liked (although, I admit that it does help). Effective sales is about identifying a customer's needs and providing solutions to his or her problems. Seeing yourself as a solution-provider is an important step to overcoming the likeability mindset and an essential ingredient in growing your business.
While work still needs to be done, there's lots of good news for women who want to start and grow their businesses. There are more books, online advice, coaches and business organizations for women entrepreneurs than ever before. But most importantly, we're finally recognizing that women really do view and run their businesses differently than men and that they need the support of other women to learn and grow. This plays out in women-only networking groups and even in shared workspaces for women. Women feel comfortable supporting and confiding in each other. We understand that this doesn't put us into a female ghetto. It simply gives us the opportunity to be open -- and to still operate in the broader business world of men and women. We want everyone to enjoy success. So, if entrepreneurship is the path you chose, your chances of success are infinite.

Gennadij Nikititj Olonkin () (født 1898 i Arkhangelsk oblast, Det Russiske Kejserrige, død 1960 i Tromsø, Norge) var en russisk-norsk polarforsker og radiooperatør.

Olonkin var den eneste søn blandt tolv børn af en norsk mor og en russisk far.

Fra 1918 til 1925 var han radiooperatør og mekaniker på det polare skib "Maud", hvor skibsfører var Roald Amundsen. I 1926 blev han hædret som Ridder af St. Olavs Orden. Olonkin opnåede norsk statsborgerskab og arbejdede på Norges meteorologiske institut. Han tjente på Jan Mayen i årene 1928-1929, 1930-1931, 1933-1934 og 1935-1936. Fra 1958 arbejdede han i forbindelse med en udvidelse af LORAN-stationen (NATO) på Jan Mayen.

Gennadij Olonkin var gift og havde en søn og to døtre. Olonkinbyen og Kapp Olonkin ved Jan Mayen er opkaldt efter ham.

A husband and wife are recovering from gun shot wounds, while their attacker lies dead in the morgue, in an apparent landlord/tenant dispute in metro Atlanta.
Authorities are saying that the husband and wife pair were at a house they own when a renter flew into a rage, pulling a handgun, and shot the woman in the arm.
When the husband moved to intervene, he was shot as well.
But fearing for his life and that of his wife, the husband was able to rush the attacker and disarm him, shooting him with his own gun.
The suspect dove out of the home through a window to escape, but died in the yard.
The husband and wife were taken to a nearby hospital where they are expected to recover from their injuries.
The suspect's name has not been made available. However, the shooting is just the latest case where a firearm in the hands of a law-abiding citizen prevented a likely homicide.
Investigators state that the situation was a clear cut case of self-defense, and do not expect to file charges related to the incident.


I've been a knitter almost all my life. I made my first sweater when I was twelve and have kept a project on the go ever since. There's a pair of needles, purple yarn, and a half-finished vest lying next to my couch as I type this.
1. If you make mistakes, even if they're many rows back, you gotta rip out your work and start again. As comedian/knitter Tracy Ullman has said, a badly knit sweater is like a bad relationship. Better to fix it than to wear it in public and have to explain to your friends why you settled for something so obviously bad, or ugly.
2. Some things just take time – you can't fast-forward through a knitting project. You can't "summarize-knit", or "speed-knit", or even "knit just the important parts". You have to knit every stitch, thousands of them, one at a time, until the end.
– Don't rush to finish your written work. It's finished when it's finished, and you'll know when that is.
– Do your research. Hone your craft. Edit, edit, edit.
4. Knit a sample swatch before you start the main project. It always pays to know how much you'll have to knit, how tightly, the size of the needles you need, and the amount of yarn.
– You're going to have to write multiple drafts of anything that you'll expect a reader to want to read. Write small bits. Take a critical look at them. And use them as models for the larger work.
5. Last but not at all least. Don't completely follow a pattern. I love to know that what I've made is slightly different from anything anyone else has ever made. Change the stitch design. Add a collar. Change the neckline or the length. Make it your own.
– And write whatever your little heart desires.

Sage words J.I. I'm taking time out from the MS for my next novel. Currently I have 51000 words honed to perfection (although my editor and good friend would beg to differ on that point).
I delete many times, plus I tend to cut and paste to reposition a sentence that is out of place.
I delete a lot J.I. Plus I cut and paste when a particular sentence is in the wrong place.
My delete key gets a lot of exercise, too. I can work on a draft for a month and end up with the same word count (more or less) that I started with – so you know a lot's getting removed. And I take time outs as well. Right now I'm between drafts (4 and 5) and will pick up the MS Friday or Saturday and get back to it…and hope it's fresh again.
More than anything, I think that knitting has taught me patience on the journey.
Thanks Jack, for taking the time to write.
I don't think you can ever have a perfect story; the grammar can be perfect.


This is the Ancient Egypt Quiz page for you, if you wish to test your knowledge of all things ancient Egypt. It's a fun way to check how the things you read about stick to your mind. You may be surprised at the amount of knowledge you already have.
Below are links to separate quiz pages. If you just don't remember the things asked, on each page will find links to the pages where the quiz subjects are handled. No harm in peeking there. It is quite all right to check what is written of each subject - if you are a historian, you are supposed to check and double check your reference materials anyway. No one expects you to remember everything by heart. And when it comes to any field of research, knowledge expands, theories develop, and you can never really say you know the absolute truth.
There will be more quizzes when I add more pages, so come and have a peek of this page every once in a while.

It was my first time at this newly renovated restaurant inside Sri Krishna Sweets on Venkatnarayana road in T Nagar. The seating is different from other restaurants. The first impression I got upon entering is of a dinner hall at a wedding hall except that the tables and chairs are sidelined.
Once we entered the restaurant, the staff came to us, welcomed us with a big smile and inquired about our well being. One of the staffs even fell at my dad's feet to get his blessings. We as a family have been loyal customers to Sri Krishna Sweets for nearly 2 decades now.
We visited the eatery for breakfast. The moment we sat on the cushioned chair, the staffs laid the banana leaf on the table, cleaned it with water, and also served hot water (upon request) to drink.
While my father ordered for a plate of idli, I was thinking what to eat, and immediately the staff asked me if I'd be interested to eat mini tiffin that comes with Rava Kesari. I was skeptical about Rava Kesari as it is usually pineapple based or pineapple essence based which I don't eat. But the staff said it is just colouring that has been added to the Rava Kesari, and asked me to taste one spoonful. I agreed and tasted. It was really delicious and was so soft that it melted the moment I put it my mouth.
Though I was tempted to order the mini tiffin, I stuck to eating Idli and Medu Vada. The Idli was very soft, the #Vada was hot and crispy as it should be. The Sambar was hot and delicious with all the necessary spices. The different type of Chutneys were served too as customary. One of my favourites was the spicy Chutney.
Upon finishing the first round, I ordered for a plain #Dosa which was long and a little crispy and without oil as requested. But after the Dosa was served there was none to serve Chutneys and Sambar. By the time someone came to serve them, the Dosa got a little cold. Sadly, the Chutneys that were served this time were cold and I'm guessing it came out from the refrigerator. However, the Sambar was piping hot. I loved the Medu Vada so much that I ordered one more. My dad ordered for Ven Pongal, and after we left the restaurant he indicated that this was by far the best Ven Pongal he ate in many months anywhere.
By the end of second round, we were a happy duo with our stomach almost full and left with a tiny bit of space to wash it down with filter #Coffee. While my dad ordered for a sugarless filter Coffee, I ordered for a strong Coffee with sugar. They were served in a brass cup set (Tumbler and Saucer) which maintain the heat. We enjoyed the perfect Coffee (Kaapi) after a sumptuous Breakfast.
When my dad stood up from his chair to walk to the wash basin, a staff member held his hand to give him support and walked him to ensure he doesn't fall down as he is a little old and struggles to walk. Now that is what I call #humanity and #service. Kudos to the staff. Excellent hospitality! Sri Krishna Sweets are known for giving a personal touch to their customers.


Which Programming Languages Can You Use With Arduino?
Ready to try something different with your Arduino? You needn't be confined by programming in C. Take these alternative languages for a test drive.
The Arduino IDE is core to the ethos behind the project — it's a UI that attempts to turn the daunting task of learning a programming language DIY Dad & Mom: Raise Your Kid to Be a Tinkerer with Cool Home Projects DIY Dad & Mom: Raise Your Kid to Be a Tinkerer with Cool Home Projects Do you and your kids tinker together? If not, start today. Teach them to create things and you teach them to take control of their world. Read More into something that anyone can take a stab at. That's certainly a noble cause, but there might well come a time when the IDE acts as a limit on your creativity.
Just as there are an enormous range of different coding languages, there are a multitude of different reasons that you might want to take a different approach to programming 5 Project Ideas To Help You Learn Programming Faster 5 Project Ideas To Help You Learn Programming Faster There are a few ways to ease the learning curve for programming. Get your hands dirty and learn faster with side projects you can start anytime. Play around with these five. Read More . One language might simply make more logical sense to you, while another user might thrive under an entirely different structure.
The important thing is to find a language that speaks to you and the goals that you're looking to achieve.
Arduino is built around a straightforward programming language that's meant to be welcoming to newcomers — but if you're really short on experience, it might be worth trying a tool like ArduBlock. Rather than typing out your code, you'll be able to construct your program visually using the same selection of functions as you would normally.
It's great for younger users DIY Dad & Mom: Raise Your Kid to Be a Tinkerer with Cool Home Projects DIY Dad & Mom: Raise Your Kid to Be a Tinkerer with Cool Home Projects Do you and your kids tinker together? If not, start today. Teach them to create things and you teach them to take control of their world. Read More , but don't think that this is 'Arduino for Kids'. Some people just have a brain that works better with visual stimuli — and while ArduBlock is far from aesthetically pleasing in terms of its UI, it does present a very logical way of writing code for visual learners. At the same time, you're still becoming familiar with the function names and variables you'll need to use if you decide to move on to the full Arduino IDE.
ArduBlock is a downloadable tool that runs as an overlay to the official Arduino IDE. The final product won't be any different to a program built using the normal process, so it's a great first step if you're just getting started. For anyone who's not quite ready to learn a programming language outright, this is an excellent way to learn key concepts without getting caught up in the technicalities of coding.
Based on the drag-and-drop visual programming language developed at Berkeley, Snap4Arduino offers a slightly different experience to that of ArduBlock. The method of building your sketches remains much the same in a visual designer, but it's clear that this software is intended for a slightly older audience.
With a more understated UI and less of a focus on bells and whistles, Snap4Arduino is resolutely non-patronizing. There's no sense that this is an easier method of programming — it's just different to the norm. While it's being offered as a beta and its developers admit that there are still plenty of bugs, it's very usable.
One trick to installing Snap4Arduino is the fact that it requires StandardFirmata to be installed on your Arduino. If you already have the Arduino IDE installed on your computer, that's easy to sort out — simply open it up and navigate to Files > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata. Upload that to your board, and you'll be able to interact with it from inside Snap4Arduino. Note that you can't compile programs made in Snap, merely interact with the Arduino while it's connected to your computer.
Serial communications allow for a handy, flexible way for your Arduino to communicate with your computer — you'll likely have dabbled with the functionality in your early experiments with the device. With the help of a library like CmdMessenger, you'll be able to go beyond using serial to merely inspect your Arduino sketch, and begin using it to code in a completely different language.
You can run CmdMessenger in either Microsoft's Visual Studio or an equivalent third-party alternative. From there, you can communicate back and forth between your PC and the Arduino using C#, so you're able to do things like call functions and send and receive commands.
Another way to program with C# is to use a purpose-built offshoot of the device like the Netduino 5 Cheap, Fun Hardware Kits You Can Use To Make Wonderful Machines 5 Cheap, Fun Hardware Kits You Can Use To Make Wonderful Machines Like most kids, I had a electronics kit that taught the absolute basics; you could build something about as advanced as a radio or morse code device. Suffice to say, the fun didn't last long... Read More . Since it's built upon the .NET Micro Framework, the Netduino runs C# natively, straight out of the box. Although the pin layout is compatible with Arduino shields, it's a completely different microcontroller and as such it isn't an option if you're looking to program with C# on an Arduino you already own.
While your Arduino can't run code written in Python out of the box, it is possible to use Python to communicate with the device via serial input. This is very simple on a Unix-like system, but if you're using a PC or a Mac then pySerial can bridge the gap. You can download pySerial from its developers website, which also features a host of information about running the software on various different operating systems — make sure that you have a copy of Python on your system, too.
You can find more information on reading and writing data to Arduino via pySerial at the Arduino Playground, but be warned that this is a fairly advanced technique. If you're already well-versed in Python, then you'll likely have a good handle on how to get it up and running — but if you're relatively new to either the language or Arduino, there are gentler ways to get started 15 Great Arduino Projects for Beginners 15 Great Arduino Projects for Beginners Interested in Arduino projects but not sure where to begin? These beginner projects will teach you how to get started. Read More than this.
That being said, Python is a very good fit for use in conjunction with Arduino. It's a coding language designed to be intuitive, and as such is often recommended as a stepping stone to other forms of coding.What's more, if you ever happen to branch out from Arduino to the similar Raspberry Pi, you'll find that your Python experience will come in very handy.

If you want to go retro and use an Arduino to teach programming the 1970's way, you can code, on the device, with Tiny Basic. Connect a PS/2 Keyboard and configure your Arduino for video output then download the Tiny Basic and code away. There are actually several Tiny Basic versions out there. One uses a serial connection to the Arduino, HalfByte Tiny Basic allows coding on the device (using the aforementioned keyboard and video) and there are a few others that use various schemes to allow coding on the device. You can google or Bing 'tiny basic arduino' as well as search on YouTube 'Arduino Tiny Basic'.
