Colorado traffic officers and other law enforcement officials are generally trained to recognize the signs of alcohol intoxication among drivers. However, identifying when a motorist may be under the influence of marijuana and/or other drugs can be far trickier, particularly considering that different drugs can impact people in different ways.
In an effort to help cops better identify when motorists may be high, stoned or impaired by drugs, U.S. transportation safety regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have developed the drug recognition expert (DRE) program. While this program has been operational at a national level since the 1970s, it was initiated in Colorado in 1987.
With the legalization of pot in Colorado, the DRE program has become far more of a central focus among Colorado law enforcement officials. Taking a closer look at the role of DREs in Colorado marijuana DUIs, this blog series will point out some crucial facts to know about drug recognition experts and their roles in DUI stops/after DUI arrests.
While the info herein is fascinating and important, contact the trusted Adams County and Boulder DUI attorneys at Peter Loyd Weber & Associates when you need the best defense against drugged and/or drunk driving charges.
Fact 1 – DREs are responsible for making three determinations.
Colorado marijuana DUIs are often based on the assessments of DREs. Here's what you should know about Colorado marijuana DUIs and drug recognition experts.
The specific category of drugs that is impacting the driver (if drug impairment is suspected).
Fact 2 – DREs use a 12-step process for evaluating potential drug impairment among drivers.
Obtaining a urine and/or blood sample for subsequent analysis.
A final determination won't (or should not) be made until all of the above steps have been completed.
All DREs in the U.S. should be using the above standard procedure on all suspects.
For some more important facts about Colorado marijuana DUIs and drug recognition experts, don't miss the second and third parts of this blog series. They will be published soon.

Connecting with Kids: Tyler Newsome '18
Author: Natalie Ambrosio '17
Tyler Newsome '18 came to Notre Dame from Georgia never having given sustainability a second thought. Yet when Dr. Rachel Novick told one of his classes about the sustainability minor freshmen year, his interest piqued enough for him to add the minor to his Marketing degree. "It was kinda just me taking a leap on something I was interested in, but it will affect the decisions I make for the rest of my life," Tyler says.
Spending much of his time in the Mendoza College of Business, Tyler really enjoyed hearing the perspectives of students from other colleges during his sustainability courses. He also values the way that this minor empowers him to make a positive impact. "I don't want to just have a good planet to live on. I'm thinking 100 years down the line," he says, referring the value he sees in protecting the earth for future generations.
Newsome educating local students on the importance of sustainable practices
A punter on the Notre Dame Football team, Tyler focused is sustainability capstone project on how NCAA athletics can serve as a platform for sustainability. His project included a comprehensive report of what Notre Dame has done and the potential for further action, based on the actions of other D1 schools. As far as general sustainability practices, Tyler explains Notre Dame's success at "grabbing the low hanging fruit." For example, the school replaced the lights in the Joyce Center (JAAC) and has included green roofs and LED lights in newer buildings. The university also donates leftover food from game days to a local nonprofit, Cultivate Culinary.
However, as far as using Notre Dame Athletics' clout and name to promote sustainability, Tyler sees much unharnessed potential. For example, in 2008 there was a sustainability-centered football game between Notre Dame and Syracuse, sponsored by NBC. This was Notre Dame's first carbon neutral game, and it coincided with the culmination of a dorm energy conservation competition. According to Notre Dame News, "The school that has the most team members making commitments to lead greener lives will win $10,000 to be used to enhance sustainability efforts on the winning campus." Yet this was nearly ten years ago and it has not become a regular part of football season.
Tyler sees a lot of potential in this approach to sustainability marketing. "Notre Dame is such a school that's tradition oriented, especially with football," Tyler says. There are opportunities to leverage that in new ways. NC State had a rivalry game focusing on which school was the most sustainable, he explains. Given that Notre Dame has six teams that consider themselves our rivals, Tyler says, this could be a great option.
Another of Tyler's favorite ideas focuses on the electric banners around the stadium. These provide great platforms for information about sustainability, he says. The University of Florida's marketing perspective is to strengthen their vision in athletics, sustainability and community involvement and Tyler thinks this a valuable motto for all schools.
Tyler says that he'd be hypocritical if he wasn't doing something concrete to promote sustainability action himself. "I've been given this incredible platform," he says, and he wants to use it. Tyler wants to be "essentially a game changer on and off the field." So he volunteers at the Robinson Community Learning Center in South Bend, teaching children about climate change. For many of these children, this is their first introduction to sustainability and Tyler finds this work incredibly important. "It's 30 kids; in my opinion they are the future," he says. "Those kids are awesome."

Q: Extract data from two columns of one worksheet to another depending on presence of character in third column of a worksheet I am looking for some help with a formula. On one worksheet, I have data set up similar to:

   A        B            C        D        E
1                      Test1    Test2    Test3
2 ID     Name
3 T01    Confucius       X
4 T02    Newton          X
5 T03    Enstein                  X
6 T04    Plato                    X        X
7 T05    Da Vinci                          X
It is similar to comparison of different products against set of features.
What I would like is, on a separate worksheet, when a test name (i.e. row1) is selected, information from column A and column B is returned ONLY if there is a check mark in the column for the respective test selected. In other words, if on a separate worksheet, I select Test3, then T04 Plato and T05 Da Vinci are returned. I would like this dynamic as my data spreadsheet will continue to grow with new IDs/Names and test(x).
I am open to formulaic or filter-type solutions.

A: I suggest a slight rearrangement of your labels and using a PivotTable:

This though would require refreshing of the PT if further values are added.
Edit re supplementary
I think what you want is a more amenable dataset. Replace Xs with the Test# in a single column (so two rows for Plato), then pivot:

A: You can user vlookup but you would need to put the values you are looking for (i.e. test3) in the early columns (i.e. "A")  this can be done by using vlookup to a second sheet to put them in order.
A lot of vlookups get resource heavy, so a better solution is probably to try and do something with Access, if you own it.

San Bruno was founded as a railroad suburb to San Francisco in 1914, and enjoys a central Peninsula location and enviable regional connections. The City underwent a housing boom following World War II, growing to its current geographic limits in the 1970s.
The new General Plan, adopted in March 2009, is the first comprehensive overhaul in 25 years. The Plan establishes a new vision for the city, fostering transit-oriented mixed-use development along the principal corridors—El Camino Real, and San Bruno and San Mateo avenues—adjacent to BART and (planned) CalTrain stations. It reinforces downtown as the heart of the community, outlines strategies for conserving establishing neighborhoods, expanding the city's affordable housing stock, and improving bicycle and pedestrian connections between residences, activity centers, and transit stations.
Dyett & Bhatia also updated the City's current and previous Housing Element, which were adopted in 2003 and March 2010 respectively.

Jam Room - Fisheye Music Connection !
He's getting help from an unexpected source. For the next year, the Jam Room will host Stefan Heger, a world-renowned mastering engineer from Germany, whose wife just happens to hail from Irmo. Heger is overseeing the upgrades to the new Mastering Room. He also designed the new Boom Room, fashioning a spacious control room and vocal booth, both of which feature non-parallel walls to keep reflecting sound waves from muddying the final product.
D'Angelo's scorching 1995 debut, including the breakout hit, "Brown Sugar." Handling almost all of the production, instrumentation and songwriting himself (with help from Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, Raphael Saadiq, and Bob Power), the album is a showcase for D'Angelo's immense talent.
Newly mastered from the original analog tapes - Russell Elevado, in his Analogypsy Studios and in collaboration with Stefan Heger at Fisheye Music, mastered Brown Sugar from the album's original half-inch master reels stored in the EMI vault. Elevado has long been associated with D'Angelo, starting with this album and continuing through Voodoo and his current recordings, as a recording engineer and mixer. His work is admired for its attention to detail and devotion to the warmth of original analog sound. Elevado considers this new master the definitive audio representation of D'Angelo's landmark debut.
Voodoo is to be released next!
The 2016 Grammy nominations were announced this morning and once again, bhakti represents. "Bhakti Without Borders," the 2015 debut release by Madi Das and 10 female vocalist collaborators, has nabbed the nomination for Best New Age Album, beating out more than 100 other albums in the New Age category.
The tight-knit group of musicians who laid down rhythms in the studio behind Stringer's L.A. home includes long-time go-tos in the SoCal kirtan world such as Patrick Richey (tabla, cajon, mridangam and every other percussion instrument you can name); Matt Pszonak (pedal steel), and Sheela Bringi, who graces most tracks with her angelic bansuri flute as well as harmonium. Madi Das' childhood friend Shree Shyam 'Elton Bradman' Das played bass, and Tulsi Devi added some countrified violin riffs. Krishan Khalsa did the mixing and Stefan Heger mastered the disc.
We are proud to be part of the Gentleman MTV unplugged. At FisheyeMusic we mixed and mastered the 5.1 portion of the production. The Mix was part of the stereo mix prepared by Olsen Involtini. The circular setup of the location "Stadtgarten in Cologne" was recreated and so you will have a real 360˚ feel to it. The concert is available as a standard DVD and also Blue Ray.
Fisheye Music has been re-designed featuring a state of the art mastering studio. The studio was designed by Larry Swist who recently passed away and adds to a long list of studios he has worked on. The studio focuses on analog mastering and a no compromise quality by the use of the best audio equipment in the industry.
The studio is built around the Chris Muth Transfer and Mastering Console connecting world class converters by Microsonics Pacific and an AMPEX ATR tape machine. Signal control and color is added by gear from Dangerous Music, rockruepel, Chandler, Pultec, Weiss and Pendulum.
FisheyeMusic has provided MFiT masters for iTunes since Mid 2012. Our signal path mostly consists of analog gear and very little software or plug ins. With high res masters we can keep more dynamic range in the audio material.
Funky Junk organised a Mastering Workshop. Topics were studio calibration, digital and analog levels. We introduced the RS Matrix for the first time in a real application. !
Stefan is now working out of Elephant Mastering Studio in Monteverde, Rom. The studio offers a fully equipped mastering studio - with lots of good gear. Some of the gear has been adapted by the room to guarantee the same sound and quality known from FisheyeMusic.....In the picture from left to right - Eugen, Riccardo, Stefan, Enrico & Marco.
At the same time as we mixed the Live DVD of Gentleman we also helped design his new home studio in Cologne. The Studio Layout and Design was done by Larry Swist and the wood work by Sebastian Baecher. The Studio features a SSL Matrix, Sterling Modular Desk, some vintage gear and superb acoustics !
May 2012 - Busy and Stefan have a successfull year behind them and completed several Surround Sound projects together. It all started with Gentleman - Live Mix of the Summerjam 2011. Shortly after followed Unheilig, Helene Fischer and the Charts Album and Live DVD of Silbermond. We both use very similar gear and are able to recreate the mastering settings so they can match the sound in stereo and surround.
September 2011 - Tom Beck is here and mastering his new single : THE LONGING ! The song is mixed by Michael Dorniak in Cologne and will come out on November 4th 2011. Please also check the video. !!
August 2011 - Cody Chessnut is visiting supow studio to mix his new record. At the same time we are mastering and checking back the songs that have been recorded at Royal Studios Memphis. The record is produced by Patrice and Matt Kent.

I wil be recording with Pro Tools 9, a Avid System, Apogee Converters and Mojave Mics. Thanks at this point for your continuing support. Please check out all the productions that have come out of this event.
December 2010 - I went for 4th time to Cairo to master one of the most popular artists in the middle east called "Bahaan Soltan". Producer and Engineer Amir Mahrous was looking into building the first Mastering Studio in Cairo and hookedup with me. Not long after that we started mastering the first projects, for example Samira Saids album "Ayaam Hayati" or Diabs " El 3aw".
May 2010 - I have been teaching for the DEUTSCHE POP in Cologne since several years and I am introducing "Mastering Techniques" and "Tape Machine" to the students. I am showing all the aspects on the mastering process, the equipment and the workflow in a high end studio.
August 2008 - Commissioner Gordon is at Supow Studio to record the Patrice Album: FreePatriAtion. Also in the picture is Christopher Meredith & Izrah Williams. We had Professional Audio Magazin in da house to write a nice article. You can download it here.
June 2009 - Stefan Heger has been recording the 15-year-old Vision Festival since 2002, making improvements to the system he assembles each year to capture the avant-garde jazz performances at ever-higher quality. Several recordings have been published until today - please check them out in our CD section.
May 2009 - After several years we found together again for a real fun time at Supow Studio. Hagen my old band member and his new band : The Pinstripes showed up to record their new record "Road to Hell". Get the CD and listen to some great guitar, drum and double bass sound !
June 2007 - FisheyeMusic has been doing the sound for the international Yoga Conference in Cologne since the last 6 years.

May 2006 - Our studio is on the front cover of sound & recording, a german high end audio magazine. It took sometime to fit everything in the picture. I am in it as well, although not intentionally.
December 2001 - FisheyeMusic, NYC did the live mix for the private concert of Toots and the Maytals in New York City. Besides the live mix we also ran a multitrack-recorder and capture this wonderful moment. In the picture is Domenico Volpini, Stef, Toots and his manager.


Dark Entries is a hard rock band that mixes heavy metal and goth influences in their own brand of music.
Dark Entries began writing songs in 2012 by brothers Mickey and Juice Hernandez in Whittier, Ca. The desire to create their brand of original rock music with the vast array of influences was something that both of them had an interest in doing for quite awhile. Those influences range from bands like Black Sabbath, Ratt, Ozzy Osbourne, and Iron Maiden to Marilyn Manson, Gene Loves Jezebel, Bauhaus, The Bolshoi, and Genesis. With an eclectic blend of hard rock, heavy metal and goth, the birth of Dark Entries was formed.
Upon a few lineup changes, Dark Entries selected lead guitarist Nick "NiX" Mendoza and drummer Alexis Villatoro, which gave the lineup of Juice Crow on rhythm guitar, NiX on lead guitar, Alexis Villatoro on drums, and Mickey Hernandez on bass and lead vocals. With the addition of influences like Disturbed, KISS, and other hard rock bands, the music of Dark Entries has become more melodic and powerful.
Dark Entries began performing local gigs in late 2017 and are currently focused on recording a few songs. "The Moonlight Run" is Dark Entries' debut single, released March 13, 2018. It was written about a fictional character, a young woman, who is a Hollywood socialite constantly out at social events where the rich and famous congregate, in hopes of obtaining some with no real talent of her own. "Science" is Dark Entries' second single released May 28, 2018, a groove-based hard rock song about pondering the mysteries of life. "Manifesto" is the third single off the upcoming album "Spirits of Dark Delights" written (in real time) as the infamous Christopher Dorner was being pursued by law enforcement.

North Carolina Tar Heels Analysis
UNC is coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they are 1-1 in their conference games this season. This will be another conference matchup but they are also 0-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. It is not technically a road game though as it will be played on a neutral field. They lost their first game of the season against the Virginia Tech Hokies. They followed that one up with 2 wins against the Georgia State Panthers and the Virginia Cavaliers in their last game. Sam Howell played well in that game as he completed 14/21 passes for 307 yards, 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. Their run game had a big day in that one with Ty Chandler leading the way for the. He had 198 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 carries while Sam Howell was right behind him with 112 rushing yards on 15 carries. Josh Downs had a massive day for the receiving corps as he had 203 yards and 2 touchdowns on 8 receptions. Khafre Brown also had a good day with 75 receiving yards and 1 TD on 1 reception. Cedric Gray led the defense with 5 solo tackles and 1 assisted one while Jeremiah Gemmel had 5 solo tackles himself. Kaimon Rucker led the team in sacks with 2 while Tomon Fox also recorded 1 in that game. It was Ja'Qurious Conley who had the only interception in that game for his team.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Analysis
Georgia Tech is coming into this game with a 1-2 record overall and is 0-1 when playing in their conference games. This game will be another conference matchup for them on a neutral site this time. Their 1 win came against the Kennesaw State Owls while their 2 losses came against the Northern Illinois Huskies in their season opener and the Clemson Tigers in their last game. Jordan Yates had a pretty good game in that one as he completed 20/33 passes for 203 yards. They did not have much of a run game though as he also led the team in rushing with 32 yards on 6 carries. Jahmyr Gibbs was right behind him with 30 rushing yards on 11 carries. Kyric McGowan led the receivers with 82 yards on 4 receptions. Tariq Carpenter led the defense with 9 solo tackles and 4 assisted ones in that game. No one on the defense was able to record a sack or an interception in that one though. They have scored 74 points in their first 3 games and they have allowed their opponents to score 53 points against them. Their offense is averaging 383.3 YPG while their defense is allowing 285.7 YPG.
North Carolina vs Georgia Tech Prediction
The GT Yellow Jackets have not looked too good on offense this season especially up against the FBS teams they have played. They have not allowed too many points either but they are struggling to score in those games. UNC has finally let their offense out, almost putting up 60 points in back to back games. Ever since they lost their first game they have responded with 2 wins of more than 20 points in each. Georgia Tech does not even get the home advantage here even though it will be in their state still. UNC is likely going to crush them here as they will not want to lose another conference game with the 1 loss already. Their offense will score enough points in this game to cover the spread, that is the best bet to make here.

Like most of her family, Kendall Jenner has made many headlines over the years. While many have been related to her career as a supermodel, others have been linked to controversies and outrage. Between the backlash over Jenner's tone-deaf Pepsi ad, the outraged over her promotional shoot for Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund, in which she rocked an "Afro-like" hairstyle, and the botched Fyre Festival, Jenner's last two years have been trying, to say the least.
But now, in the wake of the resurfaced outrage over the 2017 festival, Jenner is finally breaking her silence about her involvement in promotion for the fraudulent event.
In an interview with the New York Times, Jenner opened up about the experience and what it's taught her for the future.
Since the failed festival, which was initially billed as a luxurious event, festival co-founder Billy McFarland has been sentenced to six years in prison for frauding investors. The event has also become the focal point of two documentaries on Netflix and Hulu. Meanwhile, cofounder Ja Rule says he was also a victim of McFarland's scams.

Day 39 – Harvey Milk
Harvey Bernard Milk was an American politician who became the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Politics and gay activism were not his early interests; he was not open about his homosexuality and did not participate in civic matters until around the age of 40, after his experiences in the counterculture of the 1960s.
Milk moved from New York City to settle in San Francisco in 1972 amid a migration of gay men to the Castro District. He took advantage of the growing political and economic power of the neighborhood to promote his interests, and ran unsuccessfully for political office three times. His theatrical campaigns earned him increasing popularity, and Milk won a seat as a city supervisor in 1977, part of the broader social changes the city was experiencing.
Milk served almost 11 months in office and was responsible for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance for the city. On November 27, 1978, Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, another city supervisor who had recently resigned but wanted his job back. Milk's election was made possible by and was a key component of a shift in San Francisco politics. The assassinations and the ensuing events were the result of continuing ideological conflicts in the city.
Despite his short career in politics, Milk became an icon in San Francisco and a martyr in the gay community. In 2002, Milk was called "the most famous and most significantly open LGBT official ever elected in the United States". Anne Kronenberg, his final campaign manager, wrote of him: "What set Harvey apart from you or me was that he was a visionary. He imagined a righteous world inside his head and then he set about to create it for real, for all of us." Milk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.


After an unexpectedly dominant performance against Bayern Munich two weeks ago, the soccer Gods decided it was Arsenal's turn to get stomped as the German powerhouse returned the favor with a 5-1 embarassment. The silver lining for Arsenal fans? After going down four goals just after the half, Olivier Giroud juggled a pass into the air and scissor-kicked it past Manuel Neuer.
It's not a win, nor will it help them climb out of the basement of their Champions League group, but it was absolutely filthy and he's under contract under 2018, so there's that. Just trying to positive about this one, you guys.

Reported violent sex crimes up in military
WASHINGTON, July 9 (UPI) -- Despite a Defense Department crackdown, 20,000 violent sex crimes were committed in the U.S. military last year, statistics show.
The military services had increased investigations and prosecutions, strengthened victim-advocacy efforts and ordered prevention training throughout the ranks after then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ordered a review in 2004 of how the military handled sex crimes, The Oklahoman of Oklahoma City reported.
The review followed female soldiers' reports of being assaulted by fellow soldiers while serving in Iraq and Kuwait.
Statistics show in the active-duty Army, the number of reported violent sex crimes such as rape, sexual assault and forcible sodomy increased every year between 2006 and 2011. In 2011, the latest year for which statistics are available, 2,290 violent sex crimes were committed in the Army, up 5 percent from 2010 and an increase of nearly 9 percent over 2009.
The increase has been attributed by Pentagon officials to increased reporting rather than more incidents but the military estimates up to 80 percent of sexual assaults go unreported.
A recent Army report said women make up only 14 percent of the Army but comprise 95 percent of all victims of violent sex crimes.

Hot water systems that ran on natural gas are often cheaper to run than the more common electric style water heating units. Water heaters that run on gas are usually installed outdoors to minimize the risk involved with a gas leak but, can also be installed indoors following specific venting requirements. These types of systems are also referred to as "instantaneous" or "tank less" hot water systems.

Your equipment is a valuable asset, so you want to get the most out of your investment. There are a few steps you can take to ensure that your equipment stays in tip-top shape. For systems that contain hard disk drives, it doesn't take long for data to get jumbled. Periodic defragmentation can keep those drives performing at optimal levels. Dust and debris finds it way into every crack in your systems. After a while, this buildup can clog fan openings, get into the delicate mechanisms of your removable drives, and cause your keyboards to fail. Vacuum and air cleaning can keep your systems and peripherals healthy.
In addition to routine maintenance, you can take a few additional steps to protect your equipment's health. One important consideration is clean, surge-free power. Add surge suppressors to your equipment's power source to smooth out incoming current. This step is especially important if you work around equipment that has a strong current draw such as large electric motors or welders. Additionally, you may want a graceful way to shut your systems down in the case of a power failure. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) provide you with temporary power and can signal your units to shut down when power is unavailable, and portable generators can provide clean, temporary power in the event of an emergency.
The physical environment your systems live in is vital to their health as well. Cabling should not present a trip hazard, and physical security for the equipment may be a concern to protect against pilfering, vandalism, and hacking. Most important for the life of your equipment is a proper cooling system. Heat and humidity can degrade system performance and cause downtime. Place your equipment in a cool, dry room.
Seafoam Solutions recognizes that your equipment is an valuable resource. As a part of our Small Business Managed Services Contract, the protection and preventive maintenance of your equipment is important to us. Seafoam Solutions protects your equipment investment - when you need IT.

Balarabe, Makarfi, others react to Buhari's decision to seek re-election
BreakingPolitics
By Ifeanyi Dimkpa On Apr 10, 2018
Some Nigerians have welcomed the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to seek re-election in 2019, saying it was a good decision, as it would help consolidate the gains recorded by his administration, if re-elected.
However, some members of the opposition political parties said in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sokoto and Kaduna that the President won' t find it easy going for second term.
Alhaji Sidi Ali, Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State, said, "Buhari has all it takes to re-contest and the decision is a welcome development.
"He is governing well and has the capacity to continue with the good work, and I am sure more good transformations will happen in the country, if he is re-elected."
Malam Kasimu Chiyama, Chairman Dadin Kowa Youth Association in Kwannawa, Sokoto state expressed joy over the announcement."We will support him fully because he is the only candidate that has been good to Nigerians."
Two Sokoto residents, Hajia Hauwa'u Magode and Abdullahi Maiyogot expressed excitement over President Buhari's position and prayed Allah to continue to guide him.
However, Mr Samson Samuel, a student, faulted the decision, saying the President should consider his age and health status."The APC will surely make a mistake by nominating Buhari to re-contest.
"Buhari is a good leader but in recognition of his age and health status he should have rested, as he had spent most time during this tenure on medical treatment abroad."
Also, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, former Governor of Kaduna State welcomed the declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari to seek re-election in 2019.Musa, a chieftain of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) said in a telephone interview that his party would, however, come up with a strong candidate to challenge Buhari in the elections.
"President Muhammadu Buhari is welcome on board, but we want to assure Nigerians that the PRP has a presidential candidate to field in the 2019 general elections," he said
Similarly, Alhaji Ahmed Makarfi, former National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the People Democratic Party (PDP), said in a text message that: "It's no news that he is contesting, it would have been news if he had announced the opposite."
The Sokoto state Secretary of PDP, Alhaji Kabiru Aliyu, said Nigerians should vote out the APC or prepare for "another four years of hunger."
"Buhari's age and health condition are all in Allah's hand, but what is more of concern is good governance and ability to transform the country better.
"Nigerians should vote PDP to avoid continuous hunger and maladministration that subject people to hardships," Aliyu said.
President Buhari had announced his intention to go for second term at the National Executive Council meeting of APC held in Abuja

Cold Case: Two arrested for 1983 murder of Timothy Coggins, three others linked to cover-up
Police have arrested five people in west-central Georgia, in connection to the 1983 death of a 23-year-old black man in a case which involved a deep cover-up.
Frankie Gebhardt, 59, and Bill Moore Sr., 58, were charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and concealing the body of Timothy Coggins. Coggins was found dead on October 9, 1983 on a power line after suffering multiple forms of trauma.
On Friday, Spalding County, Ga., Sheriff Darrell Dix announced the charges, including against two people who worked in law enforcement and allegedly helped to cover up the deed.
"There is no doubt in the minds of all investigators involved that the crime was racially motivated, and if the crime happened today it would be prosecuted as a hate crime," said Dix, according to WSB-TV.
Lamar Bunn, a Milner Police Department employee, and Sandra Bunn, 58, were charged with obstruction. Gregory Huffman, a detention officer with the Spalding County Sheriff's Office, was charged with obstruction and violation of oath of office.
Huffman was fired from the sheriff's office Friday morning.
A new witness came forward earlier this year, which led to a re-examination of the case. The sheriff said recent media coverage helped witnesses, who said they had been once threatened to come forward.
"Thanks to the assistance of both local and statewide new media coverage, previously unknown witnesses stepped forward and when interviewed, many of the witnesses stated that they had been living with this information since Coggins' death but had been afraid to come forward until now or had not spoken of it until now," Dix said.
Coggins' family thanked the current sheriff and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for taking another look at this case.
"We have always wanted justice, held out for justice, and knew that we would have justice," said Coggins' niece, Heather Coggins. "The only unfortunate part in this is that our grandparents, Timothy Coggins' parents, are not able to see this today."

Melbourne City FC will be boosted by the return of Socceroos star Tim Cahill ahead of Saturday night's massive Melbourne Derby at Etihad Stadium.
Fresh from another match-winning performance in Tuesday night's crucial World Cup play-off against Syria, Cahill returns to the extended matchday squad to provide Head Coach Warren Joyce with a selection headache in attack.
It remains to be seen what role the 37-year-old will play in Saturday's Derby after Cahill featured for the entire 120 minutes in Sydney. The Socceroos forward will provide added competition for places in the final third alongside Scottish striker Ross McCormack, who impressed on his debut in Friday night's 2-0 win over Brisbane.
Neil Kilkenny is fit after missing Round 1 and also returns to the extended team – which will be trimmed to 16 ahead of kick-off – while marquee midfielder Marcin Budzinski is also in the selection mix after making his league debut as a late substitute against the Roar.
South American duo Fernando Brandan and Bruno Fornaroli are again absent they continue to recover from their respective long-term injuries.
Joyce could provide further updates on how his squad is shaping up during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.
Unavailable: 23. Bruno Fornaroli (ankle).

Want to play with RSS feeds? Try xFruits, where, according to tech enthusiast Steve Rubel, you can "teach your feeds all kinds of new tricks."
He's not kidding around, either: you can create a PDF file from an RSS feed, send an OPML to your mobile, aggregate, and lots more. I played with it a little bit and was suitably impressed by all the options; it looks like they're even adding the option to create RSS feeds for your desktop files soon.

Q: "NameError: name '' is not defined" when using two functions I'm using one function to create a username and another function to create a password. The second function is not running because it tells me that "NameError: name 'list_two' is not defined". Here is my code:
import random
import openpyxl

path = "E:\\Desktop\\"

wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('excel.xlsx')
sheet = wb.active

def name_generator():
    usernames = list()
    for username in range (0, 34):
        color = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White", "Black", "Yellow", "Purple", "Orange", "Pink"]
        animal = ["Cat", "Dog", "Snake", "Mouse", "Tiger", "Leopard", "Moose", "Wolf", "Bear"]
        number = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10",
                  "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20"]

        randomColor = random.randrange(0, len(color))
        randomAnimal = random.randrange(0, len(animal))
        randomNumber = random.randrange(0, len(number))

        username = "Username: " + color[randomColor] + animal[randomAnimal] + number[randomNumber]
        usernames.append(username)
    return usernames

list = name_generator()

for i in range(1,34):
    cellref = sheet.cell(row=i, column=5)
    cellref.value=list[i]

def password_generator():
    passwords = list_two()
    for password in range (0, 34):
        color = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White", "Black", "Yellow", "Purple", "Orange", "Pink"]
        animal = ["Cat", "Dog", "Snake", "Mouse", "Tiger", "Leopard", "Moose", "Wolf", "Bear"]
        number = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10",
                  "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20"]

        randomColor = random.randrange(0, len(color))
        randomAnimal = random.randrange(0, len(animal))
        randomNumber = random.randrange(0, len(number))

        password = "Password: " + color[randomColor] + animal[randomAnimal] + number[randomNumber]
        passwords.append(password)
    return passwords

list_two = password_generator()

for i in range(1,34):
    cellref = sheet.cell(row=i, column=6)
    cellref.value=list_two[i]

wb.save('excel_mod.xlsx')
input("Done")

I'm not really sure what the problem is. Why does it work with the first function but not the second one? I've tried different shells but it gives me the same error so I'm guessing the code is wrong in some way.

A: You do list_two = password_generator(), but then the very first line in that function is passwords = list_two(), but list_two is not yet defined at that point -- it will only have a value after the function has finished. Also, it will then probably be a list, and thus is not callable. You probably wanted to initialize it as an empty list, e.g. use either passwords = [] or passwords = list(), like you did in name_generator.

A: What is the full error message that it gives you?
Also, it is recommended not to use list as a variable name.
For example:
list in list = name_generator(). It is better to use a more descriptive variable name, you will thank yourself when you need to look back on your code, or if someone else needs to read your code.
Also, just use usernames = [] to create an empty list type.

A: Since other answers already took care of why the name error happens, this answer just serves to clarify the difference between the first function and the second function as is asked in this question:

Why does it work with the first function but not the second one?

#first function
def name_generator():
    usernames = list()             #<--- makes a list
    ...
    ...
    return usernames
list = name_generator()            #<--- assigns to a variable NAMED list

#second function
def password_generator():
    passwords  = list_two()        #<--- ERROR: list_two is not defined as a function prior to this line
    ...
    ...
    return passwords
list_two = password_generator()    #<--- assigns to a variable NAMED list_two

A proposal to release genetically engineered (GE) moths in an area of upstate New York has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The trial is meant to test the efficacy of the GE moths in reducing the local diamondback moth population. Diamondback moths are considered to be an invasive pest because they destroy vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli when they're at the caterpillar stage of their life cycle.
The genetically-engineered moths are designed to die before adulthood. After male moths are released into a test site, their gene is passed on to offspring through mating. The gene causes female moths to die at the caterpillar stage to stop the reproductive cycle. Scientists have also given the GE moths a fluorescent protein marker so they can be traced.
The field trial is to be led by a team of researchers from Cornell University who plan to release the moths in a 10-acre field in Geneva, New York, owned by the university. The federal permit allows 30,000 moths to be released per week over a period of three to four months.
According to the U.K. company that produces the GE moths, Oxitec, the GE moths are an alternative to the use of insecticides to control pests which also often eradicate other more desirable insects integral to the ecosystem, like bees and other pollinators.
The same company has submitted — and withdrawn — applications for field trials of GE insects in Spain and elsewhere to battle the olive fruit fly.
However, the Washington-based Center for Food Safety said that genetically engineered insects are a threat to "native ecosystems and human health" with the potential to create new problems like harm to other species that rely on them for food.
A group of New York organic farmers is also opposed to the experiment and is calling for a full environmental review. According to the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY), the USDA's environmental assessment has not sufficiently addressed the potential health and environmental effects. NOFA-NY's policy advisor, Liana Hoodes, told EcoWatch that it was now up to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to require an environmental impact assessment.
NOFA-NY also pointed out that Oxitec had not completed a thorough health, safety and environmental review before exporting its GE moths.
In 2016, approval was granted for the release in Florida of GE mosquitoes, also produced by Oxitec, to test their effectiveness in eradicating the Aedes aegypti mosquito, responsible for transmitting viruses like Zika, dengue fever and chikungunya. This proposed trial has been delayed following opposition from local residents. However, the company has been successful in releasing GE mosquitoes in Brazil, the Cayman Islands and Panama with reports of a subsequent decline in the Aedes aegypti mosquito population.


I've been using Mu since it was just an editor for MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit. I find myself using it nearly every day because it removes all the features I don't need and keeps the ones I do need, in a simple layout. So when I started my GCSE Computer Science course, with the first topic being Python Programming, I instantly wanted to use Mu in class.
Unfortunately it's not: if you've ever worked in a school, you'll know about the hassle of getting stuff installed on school computers, it's not easy at all. Even if it's an educational program like Mu (that's going to benefit students) there are tons of hurdles to jump over to get in touch with the people who do that sort of thing. This looked like the end of the line for me using Mu in class.
I needed to come up with a solution.
So, with a bit of thinking about how I could tackle the issue, the solution came to me. Why not install Mu on a pendrive?
Unfortunately the computers at school are locked down so there is no command prompt, you can't use pip, run exe files or use installers that require admin privileges. School rules banned me from downloading Mu onto a pendrive. So I had to find another way to install Mu on my pendrive.
I'd like to introduce PortaMu, my solution to running Mu anywhere. I've also put Mu into a zip file so that you only need download and extract it without having to go through all the steps I explain below.
How did I get Mu to install and run on the pendrive?
Firstly, I had to install Mu on the pendrive. This is a very simple thing to do: when you run the Mu installer, select the installation path as your pendrive.
Once installed I faced an issue when I got to school to test it out: when Windows detects a drive it assigns a letter (e.g. F:) and this can change when you plug the pendrive into another computer. I had to keep changing the shortcut properties each time, and it became a pain. So instead of launching Mu from a shortcut, I created a simple BATCH file that ran everything needed to launch Mu and this works perfectly.
Really? Does Mu actually work? Is that it?
Yes! You get the full Mu experience. I've been using it in class for about a week and it's working really well. It's grabbed lots of people's attention who have been using IDLE in class and they're now starting to use Mu instead!
How can I get my hands on PortaMu?
I've uploaded the zip files for people to use, and they're available in the PortaMu section of Mu's download page.
It's just a case of downloading the zip and extracting it onto the pendrive. Once you've done that, double click the Launch Mu file and a window will pop up and you'll see Mu load, it may take some time depending on how quick your computer is.
I hope you find PortaMu useful, just like I have. It's not only handy for schools but PortaMu can go anywhere with you, whether that be a friend's house or a library computer.
Why not download it and share the power of Mu with even more people who maybe can't install things on their computer!

What is Polkadot Blockchain? - A Complete Beginners' Guide
Polkadot, which only began a year ago in May, is already establishing itself as a next-generation blockchain in a blockchain industry dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum
Home / Blog / What is Polkadot Blockchain
Polkadot, which only began a year ago in May, is already establishing itself as a next-generation blockchain in a blockchain industry dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Polkadot has skyrocketed in popularity. Within a few months of its launch, Polkadot's native token, DOT, became a top ten cryptocurrency.
Polkadot - Overview
Polkadot is a technology designed by Wood, a British computer scientist who also co-founded Ethereum, that allows multiple blockchains to transfer currency in a trustless manner while sharing their unique features over a single safe channel. The Polkadot network, according to Wood, is the answer to Ethereum's 2.0 network update, which is now in development.
Polkadot has concentrated its efforts on developing a fully scalable, heterogeneous network powered by multi-chain technology. Polkadot is a "next-generation blockchain," according to the Web3 Foundation, the Swiss group that manages the network.
How Polkadot Has Formed?
Polkadot was originally released as a proof-of-authority (PoA) protocol in May 2020. A single Sudo (super-user) account was in charge of its administration. Validators joined the network when it was launched to participate in the consensus protocol.
On June 18, 2020, the network immediately abandoned the proof-of-authority consensus process in favor of the tried-and-true proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol.
With its blockchain network safeguarded by a decentralized community of validators, the network's super-user account was deactivated in July 2020, and the network's governance was transferred to the holders of its DOT tokens. Polkadot was able to realize its aim of becoming a decentralized platform because of this paradigm change.
The Native Token Of Polkadot (DOT)
At the time of publication, Polkadot's DOT coin was the seventh most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The utility token acts as governance, bonding, and staking mechanism for the network.
DOT holders can use the governance function to exert influence on the Polkadot network. The network's running fees, auction dynamics, and timeframe for adding new parachains are all determined by DOT holders. They can also determine when upgrades and fixes to the platform may be required.
DOT also actively participates in network security. DOT holders are responsible for validating transactions between parachains as part of the proof-of-stake protocol. DOT token holders must invest their tokens in order to participate.
The ability to add new parachains by holding DOT — a process known as "bonding" — is the third role DOT performs in the network. DOT tokens are inaccessible for usage during this time and will only be issued once the bonding period has ended and the para chain has been removed.
Polkadot is a company that specializes in architectural technology.
In its quest to build a heterogeneous blockchain network, Polkadot differs from the Ethereum network. It uses parachains and parathreads to connect to the main Polkadot Relay Chain. Through the platform's bridges, the chains can also link to external networks.
In Polkadot, there are three main sorts of chains.
Relay chain
The Polkadot protocol's heart is the relay chain. It is in charge of the network's common security, consensus, and interoperability between chains. It's the network's main blockchain. The completion of value transfer and transaction blocks takes place here.
At its interaction with the mechanism, the Relay Chain performs extremely basic actions such as parachain auctions and nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS). The Relay Chain's lighter capability base allows it to process new transactions more quickly. According to a 2020 study, Polkadot has been able to execute 1,000 transactions per second (TPS) using this unique technology.
Parachains
On the Polkadot platform, parachains are self-contained, self-contained blockchains. These specialty blockchains are designed to accomplish specific goals and solve specific problems. They use Polkadot's computer power to ensure that network transaction are accurate. While utilizing Polkadot's shared security feature, parachains are given the opportunity to create their own governance structures.
Projects must lease a slot on the Relay Chain through a slot auction to be able to run a parachain on Polkadot.
Parathreads
Parathreads offer the same functionality as parachains, with a few exceptions. Parathreads are parachains that are established on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than leased slots. Parathreads are best suited for tasks that don't require constant network connectivity.
Other Features Of Polkadot Include
Bridges help Polkadot achieve its aim of interoperability. Polkadot can connect to and communicate with external networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum thanks to this key functionality. Polkadot is currently working on connecting to other blockchains in the ecosystem to allow tokens to be exchanged without the need for a central authority.
Framework For The Substrate
Parity Technologies created Substrate, a software platform for creating bespoke blockchains. Polkadot's core technology includes a substrate framework. Substrate, developed by the Parity team, allows developers to create purpose-built blockchains without having to invest a lot of effort or hire blockchain expertise.
The substrate is also a toolkit that gives users access to a library of custom templates to make blockchain development easier. Its "Wasm" (WebAssembly) protocol enables developers to quickly create smart contract systems.
For developers who want to use Polkadot's established blockchain community to raise awareness for their projects, the idea of a linked blockchain ecosystem is appealing. Its drag-and-drop templates allow teams to create blockchain networks in minutes rather than having to start from scratch.
Polkadot has attracted the attention of developers and investors as a result of these enhancements. Within four months of its inception, Polkadot had risen to become the world's seventh-largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of US3.7 billion. Polkadot's market capitalization has since risen to US$39.1 billion at the time of writing.
The Future Vision Of Polkadot
Polkadot appears to be on track to continue constructing a trustless blockchain network for authenticating data and value transactions as part of its pursuit for a decentralized internet.
The network released "bridges" earlier this month to connect external networks to its ecosystem. Through an interoperable rule, bridges aim to enable a quick and secure movement of values and data.
The Web3 Foundation is financing various bridge-building programs to get things started. Interlay's Bitcoin bridge and Snowfork's Ethereum bridge are two examples.

SPARCK - Space for Pan-African Research, Creation and Knowledge - is a programme of experimental multi-disciplinary arts residencies, workshops, symposia, exhibitions, publications and performances centred on innovative, ethically driven approaches to urban space.
Net/Works. SPARCK projects are developed in partnership with a growing network of artists and cultural practitioners at work throughout Africa and the Diasporas, in a call and response pattern that privileges out-of-the box, self-sustaining initiatives.
Collaborations. Across the African world, SPARCK engages with creators working in image, sound, word and video, installation, transient architectures, cutting edge technologies and emergent media on projects that question the status quo, refusing clichés and easy answers.
Artist-driven projects. Projects are rarely one-off undertakings; driven by the artists who take part in them, they are encouraged to grow and bring into being new projects within and beyond SPARCK's ambit.
Interdisciplinary practices. SPARCK projects dissolve boundaries between disciplines and types of knowledge, opening up spaces of democratic exchange to foster dialogue across age, class, gender, spatial, occupational and ethnic divides.
Multiple sites. SPARCK has no one centre or base. It docks with partner initiatives and institutions, developing residencies with artists and mounting exhibitions, happenings and performances in a wide variety of spaces across the world. From street to studio and online, since its inception in 2008 SPARCK has staged projects in over a dozen countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
Urban spaces and futures. Original, flexible set-ups offer artists and thinkers unorthodox and highly productive platforms to address how cities in Africa and her diasporas live, breathe, morph and grow. Alternative ways of thinking about urban spaces and cultures prompt radical re-readings of global experience and pave the way for socially inclusive practices of daily, communal engagement. Determined to do away with clichés and preconceived notions, SPARCK projects engage with urban Africa as both a focus and a viewing platform – a space from which to look out at the world, so as to imagine the future of cities planet-wide.
SPARCK is run by a two-woman, activist-artist-writer-scholar team: Kadiatou Diallo and Dominique Malaquais. Together, we are experimenting with novel ways of collaborating. Hierarchies are replaced with joint decision-making and collective responsibilities, physical centres and offices with mobile and virtual workspaces. Process and results are equally important and always experimental.
SPARCK was founded in 2008. Its history, however, goes further back and is linked to the inception of the Africa Centre, a Cape Town based NGO dedicated to contemporary cultural practice on the African continent. The idea of the Africa Centre emerged, initially, from a discussion process that brought together nine artists, scholars and activists from across Africa, Europe and North America over an 18-month period (2004-2005). These discussions pointed towards the need for a programme of residencies, performances, publications, exhibitions, workshops and interventions focused on experimental urban creation across the African world. In 2007, a second team of practitioners came together to work on the theoretical and thematic structure of this programme. The members of this team were Kadiatou Diallo, Faustin Linyekula, Dominique Malaquais and AbdouMaliq Simone.
Since its launch a year later, now officially called SPARCK - Space for Pan-African Research, Creation and Knowledge -, the programme has been led by Diallo and Malaquais and continues to develop and grow far beyond its initial ambitions.
