CINCINNATI -- Every year, someone gets the honor of flapping their arms and shaking their tail feathers to lead the World's Largest Chicken Dance as grand marshal of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati.
Oktoberfest organizer, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber announced on Friday that Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Director Thane Maynard will lead this year's Chicken Dance. Oktoberfest will take place Sept. 21-23 on Second and Third streets between Elm and Walnut streets Downtown.
Maynard will lead the chicken dance at the Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Main Stage & Sam Adams Bier Garten located at the corner fo Second and Elm streets starting at noon Sept. 23.
Previous grand marshals for the quirky event include former Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson, visiting celebrities like George Takei and 98 Degrees singers and TV personalities Drew and Nick Lachey.
Check out our nine recommendations for who we thought might have led this year's Chicken Dance before the chamber announced their pick.
We must say that Maynard wasn't on our list, but the man with the encyclopedic knowledge of the animal kingdom was an obvious choice after the organizers announced the official pick.
The 106th Recruit Class of the Cincinnati Police Department.
Those sworn to protect and serve our community bear a heavy burden.
We were reminded of this the morning of Sept. 6 when four Cincinnati police officers saved untold lives as they confronted a gunman inside the lobby of the Fifth Third Bank Center at Fountain Square. The officers killed the shooter after he engaged them in a firefight. The gunman killed three people and injured two others within a matter of minutes before the police arrived on the scene.
Leading the Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Chicken Dance is obviously the antithesis of the potential dangers first responders like those officers face every day. The dance itself is silly and irreverent. And yet, it is also an annual gathering that celebrates the community and traditions those first responders protect.
By naming our first responders the grand marshals of this year's Chicken Dance, the event gives us all the opportunity to share a moment of life-affirming joy.
No other person or group of people on this list deserve as much gratitude as our first responders. Local soccer fans though owe Jeff Berding a big thank you. This year, the general manager and president of FC Cincinnati led a successful campaign to build a new soccer stadium in the city's West End. The stadium was the last key step before Major League Soccer selected FC Cincinnati as its 2019 expansion team.
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati did name FC Cincinnati its Chicken Dance grand marshal during its first year in the United Soccer League in 2016, but the team's recent successes warrant the honor once again.
Crews are currently in Cincinnati shooting "10 Minutes Gone," which is the third movie starring Willis produced here in three years. Willis first came to town and shot scenes for the bank-heist movie "Marauders" in 2015 and returned last year for the thriller "Reprisal."
People started sharing photographs of crews filming scenes for "10 Minutes Gone" with Willis' co-stars Michael Chiklis and Meadow Williams on social media the week of Sept. 10.
I have no doubt that Willis could "Chicken Dance with a Vengeance."
We owe actress Jennifer Garner the honor of leading the Chicken Dance after the last time she visited the Queen City. Garner shared her experience while handing out samples of her new line of baby food Once Upon a Farm at the Newport Pavilion Kroger Marketplace last month. The star posted multiple responses from customers who did not recognize her on the baby food company's Instagram account.
Garner appeared to be a good sport in the videos. And after seeing the trailer for the actress's latest action movie "Peppermint," we have no doubt she can bust a move while leading the Chicken Dance.
The blue-colored comedian has no apparent ties to the Queen City. He will be in town performing at Jack Casino the Saturday evening of Oktoberfest.
White's brand of comedy and his stage presence would be a perfect fit for the Chicken Dance, especially if White leads the dance with a drink in hand.
The people in this city deserve a good laugh.
This has been a big year for Frisch's Big Boy in the Queen City, so it only makes sense for him to lead the Chicken Dance.
The boy in the red-checkered overalls returned Downtown after a 14-year absence when Frisch's opened a new location inside Carew Tower in June. Frisch's owners made diehard Coca-Cola fans even happier weeks later when they announced plans to bring back the beverage that Big Boy's former owners replaced with Pepsi products in 2013.
Vanilla Cokes made with real vanilla extract and poured over finely crushed ice returned to all Frisch's locations this month.
There is no guarantee that Jeff Bezos knows how to dance. It couldn't hurt the notoriously hard-nosed founder of online retail giant Amazon to loosen up and shake a few tail feathers though.
You might wonder why Bezos would ever come to the Queen City or even think about participating in Oktoberfest Zinzinnati if he did.
First, organizers announced this week that Amazon is the new sponsor for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, along with returning sponsor Samuel Adams this year. The online giant currently operates large distribution hubs in the region and hopes to break ground for a new cargo hub on 1,129-acres of land near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in 2019.
And if those aren't reasons enough for Bezos to lead the dance maybe we can guilt him into it. Amazon snubbed Cincinnati back in January when it cut the city from its short list of potential locations for a second national headquarters.
It feels like destiny for actor Anthony Mackie to lead the Chicken Dance. The star came to town last month to begin filming the movie "Point Blank."
As far as celebrity grand marshals to lead the Chicken Dance are concerned, landing William Shatner would be a pretty big deal.
The man who is best known for playing Capt. James Tiberius Kirk on the original "Star Trek" will perform his one-man show at the Taft Theatre the Saturday evening of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. Shatner's former "Star Trek" co-star George Takei did a fantastic job leading the Chicken Dance back in 2013.
We have no doubt that with Shatner's decades of acting experience and stage presence, he'd deliver an out-of-this-world Oktoberfest performance.

Palm Bay moves closer to decriminalizing low-level marijuana possession, like Cocoa Beach
Possessing up to 20 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia are first-degree misdemeanors, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Palm Bay moves closer to decriminalizing low-level marijuana possession, like Cocoa Beach Possessing up to 20 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia are first-degree misdemeanors, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Check out this story on floridatoday.com: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2019/07/03/palm-bay-moves-closer-decriminalizing-low-level-marijuana-possession-like-cocoa-beach/1616242001/
Rick Neale, Florida Today Published 3:49 p.m. ET July 3, 2019 | Updated 7:42 a.m. ET July 4, 2019
By a 3-2 vote, the Palm Bay City Council has moved closer to decriminalizing low-level marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia offenses.
"People make mistakes. People deserve second chances — sometimes even third chances," Councilman Kenny Johnson said during Tuesday's regular meeting.
"And a misdemeanor shouldn't dictate whether they can get into the military, or whether they qualify for grants or funding in regards to college," Johnson said.
Possessing up to 20 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia are first-degree misdemeanors, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine plus court costs. Palm Bay stands poised to create civil citations that police could issue in lieu of criminal charges. A standard paper clip weighs about 0.5 gram.
Palm Bay's proposed civil penalties:
• First violation: $150 fine or 15 hours of community service with Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County.
• Second violation: $300 fine or 30 hours of community service with Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County.
• Third violation: $500 fine and an outpatient treatment program at Specialized Treatment, Education and Prevention Services of Brevard County.

More: Cocoa Beach votes to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana
Johnson, Mayor William Capote and Harry Santiago voted yes on Tuesday's first reading of the marijuana ordinance. Deputy Mayor Brian Anderson and Jeff Bailey voted no. The second, final reading will likely occur July 18.
Council members previously discussed decriminalizing marijuana in April and May, helping shape Tuesday's ordinance. Brevard/Seminole State Attorney Phil Archer backs the move.
"We support the use of civil citations in circumstances similar to those being considered by the Palm Bay City Council, as they provide law enforcement additional tools to address the possession of misdemeanor amounts of cannabis and paraphernalia," said Todd Brown, spokesman for Archer's office.
"Given the limitations of presumptive testing in distinguishing between low THC and Schedule 1 cannabis, civil citations also afford local governments and law enforcement a non-criminal option to address those situations," Brown said.
Florida marijuana civil ordinances have been adopted in Alachua, Broward, Miami-Dade, Osceola, Palm Beach and Volusia counties, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws reports. Cities include Cocoa Beach, Hallandale Beach, Key West, Miami Beach, Orlando, Port Richey, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
Cocoa Beach Mayor Ben Malik, who successfully pushed for a similar marijuana ordinance in March in his beachside city, spoke at the public-comment podium.
"Anecdotally, it hasn't created pandemonium and chaos in our town. We still have 2.5 million visitors a year. And looking at the arrest reports for the last several months, the primary problems that we have are with overconsumption of alcohol — certainly not cannabis," Malik told Palm Bay leaders.
"I commend you for bringing this up. We're, by far, not very progressive here in Brevard County. You have other cities and counties throughout the state that have already taken this step," Malik said.
Since 2018, Palm Bay officers have handled 780 incidents involving possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, Interim Police Chief Nelson Moya said. Those incidents resulted in 334 arrests (43 percent of the time) and 446 non-arrests (57 percent of the time).
Of those arrested, leading age groups were 25 to 34 (112 arrests) and 18 to 24 (111 arrests), followed by ages 35 to 44 (54 arrests), 17 and under (24 arrests), 45 to 54 (23 arrests) and 55 and older (10 arrests).
If the ordinance is adopted, Palm Bay City Hall staffers will deliver semi-annual statistical reviews.
Santiago said low-level marijuana suspects who were previously let off the hook by Palm Bay police may think, "I was let go. I can probably get away with it again." With civil citations, they would have to pay a fine and perform community service, with escalating penalties for future offenses.
But Deputy Mayor Brian Anderson said police are likely telling suspects, "This is your one free pass – and it ain't never gonna happen again."
"I think if you're getting let go by a police officer, it is not a happy experience. I don't think you're like, 'Oh, cool, I'm going to go do this tomorrow night,' " Anderson said.
Calling the ordinance "a solution looking for a problem," Bailey asked for more information on how to handle suspects who would fail to pay fines or perform community service.
"I do not think taking them to collections is the way to enforce it. The way to enforce it is that you're going to get a criminal citation. Because if they know that you're going to get a criminal citation, they're going to find a way to pay it," Bailey said.
Capote said alcohol has a bigger impact on the community, especially among teenagers.
"Culturally, we're changing. We're evolving. So if we are evolving, this is one of those tools that helps into the future. We enact this, and we evaluate this as we go," Capote said of the ordinance.

Spotlight: A.A. Bondy
Justin Jacobs on September 18, 2019
"I feel like I walked through a hidden door in the back of a Mississippi gun cabinet and appeared onstage in Brooklyn."
That was A.A. Bondy during his performance at the Williamsburg venue and record store Rough Trade on May 10, and for the few hundred in attendance, it felt like an appropriately disorienting description, too. After all, a Friday night with A.A. Bondy isn't exactly a common occurrence. And here he was: a thin body of sharp angles, head shaved, standing alongside a keyboard and little else.
That very morning, the singer-songwriter had released ENDERNESS, his first album in almost eight years. And, in the interim since the sparse, melancholy-folk of 2011's Believers, Bondy hadn't just been laying low—he had vanished, like a ghost, in the eyes of the small but devoted fanbase he'd built since 2007's American Hearts.
"There's this pressure to have a story, some angle to hook people so that they'll click or whatever. But I'm worried that, if I told it, it'd get in the way of people hearing the record and entering into the music cleanly," he says weeks later, from a hotel in Berlin. "I just wanted to put the thing out and wait for everyone to go, 'Wow, what a pretty record!'"
The thing is, ENDERNESS isn't just a pretty record. It's music unlike anything else in 2019: human but harsh, heartbroken but hopeful, and stripped down to nearly nothing beyond Bondy's levitating vocals, an echoing drum machine and some haunting, enigmatic synthesizers. It's whispered music that billows like a squall and leaves listeners shivering.
Though it's the fourth LP of A.A. Bondy's career, ENDERNESS is also an utter reintroduction to, and reinvention of, his sound and songwriting. The Louisiana-born and Alabama-raised Auguste Arthur Bondy was a burgeoning, major-label-signed, post-grunge frontman in his mid-'90s act Verbena before he scrapped it all, dropped the power chords and re-emerged under his own name as an anti-folk hero in 2007.
With his solo debut, American Hearts, its 2009 follow-up, When the Devil's Loose, and Believers, Bondy created a new folk mold for himself in five years, with swirling, darkly shit-kicking guitar ballads that rumbled like far-off thunder clouds—the bright, anthemic, acoustic strumming of the day be damned.
When Bondy's tour behind Believers finally wound down, he packed a van and drove across the country; his guitar, however, wasn't giving back to him as it had for so many years. He eventually settled down in California, where surfing and a slower lifestyle overshadowed a drive to pump out more music.
"[Surfing] is a terrible waste of time for someone who wants to get better at writing—writing is hard for me, and I'll often do anything to get out of it," he says. "The ocean is always there saying, 'Come waste your life with me.' If I were to paddle out right now and catch a good one, my face would hurt from smiling so hard. Surfing is drugs."
Months turned into years. Bondy made new friends. Tides rose and fell, over and over and over again. Bondy's muse still existed, but it remained in hibernation. The world he'd been a part of since the early '90s marched on without him; he waved in the background. If it was surfing that drew him away from his life as a touring musician, then it was also surfing that washed him back ashore.
After a particularly harsh wipeout one day, he had a moment of surreal inspiration. "I woke up on the beach, barfing seawater, and these two Latino fisherman were on either side of me; one was clapping me on the back," Bondy remembers. "I went home and fell asleep. When I woke up that night, a little birdie flew into my mouth and sang the song that's now called '#Lost Hills.' That was the beginning; it was a relief to sing a good song again."
Bondy began to write and record in his "small house on a dirty, shallow lake in Agoura Hills" near Los Angeles, but the folk-rock he'd become known for seemed to have vanished. His new songs were simpler, blunter, less shrouded in poetry; they called for new colors to come to life.
In the song that became "Killers 3," Bondy paints a sinister picture, each phrase separated by a chasm of breath: "Murder/ Is more entertaining/ Than peace/ Ever will be/ To a killer/ Hungry-hearted killers/ Everywhere I go/ Walking the streets." Bondy's voice, fed through a computer, splays out into eerily stacked harmonies, and the brightness of the "Sha-la-la-las" that follow is simply unsettling. He uses the guitar more like an impressionist painter than a riff-writer; only two songs on the record include his former instrument of choice. Most of ENDERNESS is dimly lit, buzzing and awash in electronic sounds. It seeps through the speakers until the room's entirely submerged.
Bondy finished the record, but then that little house on the shallow lake burned down during the California fires in late 2018. (The fires ended up destroying 1.8 million acres of land.)
"The cops came through at 2 a.m. with sirens; there were flames on the hilltops. I threw my cats in the van and drove away," says Bondy. "Seven hours later, I was drunk, watching TV with a bunch of other fire refugees. As the sun came up, the news choppers were over my neighborhood, and it was clear that I was fucked."
Things ended up turning out OK. His computer, with the completed ENDERNESS, was safely by his side. A few months later, the first press releases were sent. Bondy appeared with aviator shades on—atomic explosions could be seen in the lenses' reflections. Everything was reduced to ashes, but he was watching it burn from a safe distance.
"I knew that I wanted to find a way back to the world," he says. "I'm still amazed I finished it."

Trisuli is one of Nepal's most popular rafting rivers; easy access from Kathmandu and Pokhara, scenic valleys and impressive gorges, exhilarating rapids and easier sections and the right amount of time all contribute to its popularity. It's easy accessibility and easy rafting makes it one of the most popular rivers among river runners.
A tow day trip or a three-day trip can be combined by a trip to Chitwan national Park. A two-day Monsoon high-water trip starting at Malekhu and taking out at Gaighat is a classic river experience.You run all the good rapids, following the river through its middle stage watch it grow as its tributaries join, marvel as it cuts its way through impressive gorges, then leave it as it spills over the lowlands.
From Malekhu, swift torrents carry us through exciting rapids and beautiful canyons. Our rafts crash through towering waves and holes, and there's time to cruise and explore on our 80km journey to Gaighat.
High Monsoon flows provide plenty of exhilaration. Where we start rafting the river is confined to the narrow valleys and gorges of the middle hills, and two days rafting downstream brings us to where the valley opens out to the lowlands.
What is raftingRafting is cruising down a gushing river in an inflated rubber raft overcoming rapids and waves that comes crashing on you. It is what we call 'enjoying life'A Day on RaftWe are woken by the cheerful sound of the birds along with the sun daring you to challenge for yet another day of rapids. After a hearty breakfast prepared by our staffs, we start rafting. We paddle through the high and lows of the rapids and stop in between to scout the rapids as well as to capture these beautiful moments on pictures. We stop for a leisurely lunch break around the middle of the day along the sandy beach of the river. We explore the various temples and villages, waterfalls and other interesting sights. The length of time spent rafting each day depends on our choice of spectacular campsites. Typically we are on the water for 4-6 hours. Camping on isolated sweeping white sandy beaches and sleeping in tents under the stars and open sky is an ideal introduction to the great outdoors.Points to ponder1.Always follow what the river guide tells you and respect his judgements.2.Valuables of any nature should be left at the hotel.3. Shorts, T-shirts, comfortable shoes and a spare pair of clothes to change, sun creams, sun hats and sun glasses, which can be tied at the back, are recommended.
4. Life jackets and safety helmets are a must.
5. Should anyone fall into the rapids, do not panic. Try to float on your back with the feet downstream. Hold on to your paddle, which will make you more visible.
Gifted with a multitude of rivers that that are perennially fed by the Himalayas, Nepal is one of the richest countries in water resources. In recent years avid river runners have taken notice of the true potential of the Himalayan river and within a short span of time it is earning a reputation as one of the best places in the world for white water rafting. Though only ten rivers have been opened by the Government for commercial rafting, Nepal offers a unique opportunity for all to taste the thrill of whitewater rafting. There is something for everyone – slow moving rivers with idyllic sand beaches ideal for relaxation to high action big volume rapids that has your adrenaline pumping. Spectacular scenery, rich culture and spectacular rivers make the trip gratifying.
Teamwork is crucial to the success of any true adventure. The guidance and instruction of our staff enables you to play an active role in paddling your raft successfully through exhilarating whitewater. From rigging the rafts in the morning to putting up the tents and cooking, you are totally involved in the adventure. Most trips include a layover day when people can wander to nearby villages, explore, learn to kayak, play volleyball, or just relax on a sunny beach with a book, a chance to do as much or as little as you wish. The pace of the trips is very relaxed, we have plenty of time for rest, exploration and discovery.
We put a lot of time and effort into preparing superb, hygienically prepared, wholesome and abundant food, as rafting promotes a healthy appetite. We encourage everyone to learn the art of camp cooking, and most people enjoy the opportunity to be involved. We always offer a vegetarian option and can cater to special diets.
Trekking means a walking trip following the trails that meander through the rugged terrain in the company of the guide. A rewarding holiday in every sense a typical trek passes through rustic hamlets, terraced paddy fields, past towering peaks. Away from civilization and modern amenities life has changed little in the hills and mountains of Nepal. It is as though time has come to a complete standstill in this part of the world. A trek in these regions is travel back into time and a unique opportunity to catch a peek into the Nepalese way of life from very close quarters. Many of the trekking routes offer indescribable views and the glimpse into unexplored vistas. Pauses at the villages that dot the trail grant a trekker a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the surrounding. As different people inhabit the different parts of the trail the landscape, the houses, the people and the lifestyle of the people undergo a dramatic transformation with every climb. The experience is culturally exhilarating.
Opened to the world only a few decades ago Nepal still preserves its sanctity and is free from the trappings of modern day life, though there are a few exceptions like Kathmandu. The hilly terrain and the lack of roads make sure that the mode of transportation is the most trusted and the oldest, that is on foot. The majority of Nepalese people like our forefathers have been making our way from one place to another on the well-worn trails that snake through the hills slopes. Trekking in Nepal means a walking trip following the trails that meander through the rugged terrain in the company of the Sherpas. A rewarding holiday in every sense.
Trekking in Nepal does not require climbing experience. Anyone with sound health and love of nature can go on a trek. Though the trek might require navigating steep hills and climbing down to lower elevations you can set up your own pace and need not wear yourself out. All the Mila Adventure treks are tailor made keeping in mind every aspect. The preservation of the fragile eco system is of utmost importance to us and our support staff led by the sirdar (guide) is made well aware of the significance of preserving the environment.
We provide full service tented treks led by highly trained guides with knowledge on Nepalese culture and high altitude survival skills. We take pride in the high quality of service we render – personalized, professional and above all enjoyable. Our crew with a keen sense of hospitality will make your holiday worthwhile. You will make friends with our tour leader during the trip and find adventure that you will re-live for the rest of your life.

Piracy of websites, both content and images, is all-too-pervasive. It's an issue addressed in this blog, more than once.
Creative companies, such as wedding planners/designers, floral designers, decor companies, bakers, lighting designers, etc., routinely have their content copied/duplicated/pirated.
For text-based content, CopyScape is recommended – as described in the context of this particular piracy story.
Some image-dependent businesses (such as the ones noted above) prefer/choose not to watermark their images to make theft less appealing to those taking shortcuts.
For those who might consider watermarking website or blog images, there is an excellent software option for Mac, called Watermarker (updated to version 1.1).
All of these features are useful. Batch-processing is particularly useful for photographers and other businesses that generate many images from a single event.
Watermarking is priced at $7.99 through Mac App store. I don't have a Windows recommendation because I don't use that operating system. However, I'm sure there are comparable Windows iterations of watermarking software.
There is no foolproof content or image protector, but watermarking makes it much tougher. If you don't have a concern about content or image theft, you should. See what your options are.

The Renewed Corner
Home > News > The Renewed Corner
Now it will be safe to enter the emporas as well as the choir, says the conservator Ryszard Wójtowicz.
His team have conducted renovation works (over a period of a couple of months) in the north-west corner of the Church of Peace (the maintenance and renovation work was carried on its three storeys). These works also included the renovation of stairs and its railings. Now the whole part is safe to sight-see and the stairs are not hazardous to climb on.
These works were in essence a mix of conservation and construction. Many elements were so badly damaged by moisture, insects and fungi, that the easiest way would have been to throw them away. However, in the process of renovating UNESCO heritage sites like the Church of Peace there is no option to take shortcuts by replacing damaged parts for new ones – even if there is still even the slightest possibility that the original piece could be preserved. Therefore we have to do our outmost to renew these original parts – the conservator adds.
On the empora on the second floor the following inscriptions from the seventeenth century were discovered: "Ich bin nicht dem albern in Erkenntniss" and "Ich habe Lust an der Liebe und nicht am Brandopfer."
The first comes from the letter of St Paul to the Corinthians: "ob VND their Alber bin myth reden / So bin ich doch nicht dem alber in erkentnis. Doch ich bin bey euch allenthalben prefer bekand. "(Luther's Bible / 1545) – "But even if I am unskilled in speech, I am not yet so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things. "
The work was conducted thanks to Norwegian funds, although originally this part was not included in the project. But the hosts managed to save enough for a surplus that was later spent on the renovation of these parts. This complements the earlier work on the Large Organ facade, and on the two music lodges that surround it.

The Rejected (Os Rejeitados) é um documentário televisivo sobre a homossexualidade, produzido para a emissora KQED de São Francisco por John W. Reavis. Exibido em 11 de setembro de 1961, Os Rejeitados foi o primeiro programa sobre homossexualidade exibido pela televisão dos Estados Unidos. O programa foi, mais tarde, exibido por emissoras da rede pública National Educational Television (NET) em outras localidades. Os Rejeitados recebeu críticas positivas quando de sua transmissão original. Em 2002 a GLAAD ofereceu à KQED o prêmio Pioneer Award em reconhecimento à produção do documentário. Os Rejeitados foi considerado um filme perdido por muitos anos. No entanto, os arquivistas Robert Chehoski e Alex Cherian descobriram uma cópia do documentário na Biblioteca do Congresso, que foi disponibilizada na internet pelo San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive em 22 de maio de 2015.

Produção
Reavis, um produtor independente aparentemente não ligado ao movimento homofílico, concebeu o documentário em 1960. Originalmente o título concebido para o documentário foi The Gay Ones (Os Gays). Em sua proposta para o programa ele enumerou seus objetivos para o mesmo:

Assim sendo, Reavis abordou o tema tendo como perspectiva que a homossexualidade é um problema social semelhante ao alcoolismo ou à prostituição. Isso encontra eco na forma como programas anteriores, geralmente episódios de talk shows locais, tratavam o tema, trazendo títulos como "Homossexuais e os problemas que eles causam" ou "Homossexualidade: uma abordagem psicológica". Os Rejeitados focou-se exclusivamente nos homens gays, sem qualquer representação do lesbianismo. Reavis expressou sua relutância em incluir as lésbicas no programa em sua proposta para o mesmo:

As emissoras comerciais de São Francisco rejeitaram a proposta de produzir o programa, assim como os patrocinadores. A KQED comprou o projeto no início de 1961, já sob o novo título. O documentário foi filmado inteiramente no estúdio da emissora, com exceção de um segmento rodado no Black Cat, um bar gay de São Francisco que lutava contra o assédio da polícia e de autoridades estaduais desde 1948. Reavis e o co-produtor Irving Saraf filmaram Os Rejeitados com um orçamento de menos de 100 dólares.

Sinopse
Antes do início do programa, o diretor da KQED James Day leu uma declaração do então Procurador Geral da Califórnia Stanley Mosk:

Reavis e o diretor Richard Christian utilizaram o formato de talk show, dividindo o assunto numa série de tópicos menores. Cada segmento trouxe um ou mais especialistas discutindo a homossexualidade sob uma perspectiva diferente. Em cada segmento Reavis apresentava um estereótipo sobre a homossexualidade e depois questionava a validade do mesmo através da opinião dos especialistas. Seu objetivo, conforme apontado em sua proposta original, era dar ao telespectador "a sensação de que ele está confuso e de que a sociedade como um todo está confusa sobre a homossexualidade". Dentre os especialistas entrevistados para o programa estavam:

 Margaret Mead, abordando o tema de um ponto de vista antropológico. Mead falou sobre o papel positivo que a homossexualidade desempenhou nas culturas da Grécia Antiga e da Polinésia e nas sociedades Inuíte e nativo-americana. Mead observou que é a sociedade — e não o indivíduo — que determina como a homossexualidade e os comportamentos homossexuais devem ser vistos.
 O psiquiatra Karl Bowman, do Instituto de Psiquiatria Langley Porter, que explicou os efeitos da escala de Kinsey na sexualidade humana e se posicionou contra uma abordagem punitiva no tratamento dos pacientes homossexuais. O doutor Erwin Braff também abordou o tema do ponto de vista médico.
 O bispo episcopal de São Francisco James Pike e o rabino Alvin Fine, que abordaram o tema do ponto de vista religioso. Ambos defenderam que as leis anti-sodomia deveriam ser revogadas porque a homossexualidade era uma doença mental. Pike comparou a homossexualidade com o alcoolismo, mas afirmou que os homossexuais deveriam ser tratados com "amor, preocupação e empenho" e não condenados como "perversos".
 O procurador do município Thomas C. Lynch abordou o tema do ponto de vista legal, assim como os advogados J. Albert Hutchinson, Al Bendich e Morris Lowenthal. Este último defendeu o bar Black Cat durante sua batalha legal de 15 anos contra o assédio da polícia e do governo do estado.
 O presidente (Hal Call), o secretário-executivo (Donald Lucas) e o tesoureiro (Les Fisher) da Sociedade de Mattachine falaram em nome dos homens gays. Os Rejeitados foi o primeiro programa a incluir gays de verdade opondo-se ao ponto de vista de especialistas heterossexuais.

Recepção
Os Rejeitados foi bem recebido pela crítica e pelos telespectadores quando de sua exibição original. A revista Variety publicou que o documentário lidou com o tema de "uma maneira prosaica e centrada, tratando-o muito rigorosamente e, em maior parte, de forma interessante". Terrence O'Flaherty, crítico do jornal San Francisco Chronicle, emitiu opinião semelhante, louvando a KQED por sua coragem em abordar o assunto, assim como o fez o San Francisco Examiner, que publicou que o programa "tratou [o tópico] de maneira sóbria, calma e em grande profundidade". Das centenas de cartas recebidas pela emissora, 97% eram positivas e muitos de seus escritores pediram à KQED que fizesse mais programas como aquele. A editora local Dorian Book Service publicou uma transcrição do documentário, que foi encomendada por quase 400 pessoas.

O programa foi transmitido por emissoras da NET por todo o país. Foi exibido por 40 das 55 emissoras que faziam parte da rede pública de televisão, sendo retransmitido por algumas delas em 1963 e 1964. Membros conservadores da comunidade gay ficaram satisfeitos com a forma como os membros da Sociedade de Mattachine se apresentaram ao público, como pessoas comuns, uma imagem que contrastava com a percepção de muitos na sociedade em geral. Entretanto, ativistas mais radicais como Frank Kameny e Randy Wicker opinaram que o tom do programa era apologético, que parecia pedir desculpas pela homossexualidade dos retratados.

Em 2002, a GLAAD, organização não-governamental que monitora a maneira como os homossexuais são retratados na mídia, ofereceu à KQED o primeiro Pioneer Award, em reconhecimento à produção de Os Rejeitados, o primeiro de uma série de programas a abordar a temática da homossexualidade.

Disponibilidade
Após transmitir Os Rejeitados a KQED não arquivou uma cópia do documentário e, por muitos anos, o mesmo foi considerado como perdido. Apenas suas transcrições eram consideradas disponíveis. Robert Chehoski, arquivista da KQED, e Alex Cherian, arquivista da Biblioteca Leonard J. Paul da Universidade Estadual de São Francisco procuraram uma cópia remanescente do documentário por seis anos. Posteriormente os dois descobriram que o documentário estava sob a propriedade da WNET, que financiou-o, e que uma única fita de vídeo havia sido arquivada na Biblioteca do Congresso. O laboratório de gravação da Biblioteca já havia remasterizado o filme em formato digital e fornecido uma cópia ao San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive, com a finalidade de torná-lo disponível online. O filme foi disponibilizado pelo arquivo em 22 de maio de 2015.

O co-produtor do filme, Irving Saraf, disse que havia 30 minutos de filmagens não-exibidos, incluindo cenas filmadas no bar Black Cat. Este material extra não foi recuperado. Correspondências escritas entre março e julho de 1961, trocadas entre o diretor de programação da KQED, Jonathan Rice, e o diretor de programação televisiva da NET, Donley F. Feddersen, referem-se às cenas filmadas com o dono do bar Sol Stouman que seriam, provavelmente, cortadas da edição final. As cartas foram preservadas pelo Wisconsin Historical Society.

The UK & EU's proposed dates for banning all new petrol & diesel car sales.
As we all know, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are the hot topic within the automotive industry at the moment and that isn't going to change anytime soon – in fact, there are quite a few areas of interest for many professionals following EV development...and the dates of when all new petrol and diesel car sales will be banned is a key area!
The UK government announced some time ago that there are already (ambitious) plans in place to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030, which caused immediate concerns for garage owners and mechanics alike, relating to how that will change the face of automotive aftersales service moving forwards. One in four UK households, equating to 6.5million, plan to buy an EV in the next five years but due to the lack of consumer confidence in battery life and charging facilities, there is still a long way to go.
The European Union has announced the proposed date of 2035 for the ban on sale of all new petrol and diesel cars – including hybrids – with 55% vehicular CO2 emissions decrease from current levels by 2030. This comes as part of a package of measures outlined by the EU to help with the development of the EV rollout.
It's clear that car manufacturers are using these dates to continue the development and progression of their EV ranges, however garages are yet to take the plunge into investing for the future (even though we are seeing more and more EVs on the roads in the UK!).
Taking the plunge into EV servicing...
It's not unusual for independent garage operators to be hesitant about investing in new equipment. At Hofmann Megaplan we saw the same trend when ADAS diagnostics were first introduced...
However, many garages are now reaping the benefits of ADAS servicing and the select few businesses that become 'early adopters' and turn their hand to EV services first, will establish themselves as the local leaders for Electric Vehicle maintenance. It would be hard for any consumer to think of going anywhere else!

Wheel Equipment Electric Vehicles EV Servicing EV Charging
If you are stuck in an Electric Vehicle, in traffic for an hour, how long will it take for the battery to drain?
This is a genuine problem the automotive industry currently faces and the battery life of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has been in the spotlight over the last couple of months, as this is one of the main reasons there is a lack of consumer confidence.
Electric cars are still relatively new and everyone is just starting to find out a little bit more of what to expect from them in the future.
However, it isn't just consumers that have potential issues about the longevity of EVs. Automotive professionals from garage owners to mechanics, and even parliamentary personnel, have all been raising concerns about the lack of charging stations, battery life and a lack of EV knowledge when it comes to maintenance and servicing.
So...have you ever wondered what would happen if you're stuck in a five-mile traffic jam with an electric car that doesn't have a full charge?
EV battery life simulation by Which?...
Consumer advocacy group Which? has attempted to address concerns that an EV's battery would drain rather quickly if the driver used the air conditioning, heated seats, and other options while stuck in traffic.
To help with consumer confidence, Which? used the latest Volkswagen ID.4 electric and through conducting the simulation of being at a standstill for an hour with the lights on, changing the cabin temperature, streaming music, and watching films on rear-seat screens had only a little influence on energy consumption, resulting in a loss of only 2% capacity, or eight miles of range.
The test was conducted with music being streamed through the Android Auto system embedded into the infotainment system to see how battery capacity was affected by the vehicle remaining stationary.
Both front heated seats were also set to the highest temperature, the air conditioning was on full blast, the dipped headlights were turned on and a tablet was plugged into a USB connector in the back seats was playing a movie.
The VW's battery only lost 2% of its 77kWh capacity after just over an hour and 15 minutes, equating to only eight miles of range.
Which? did note, however, that its controlled test was conducted on a hot day, and that cold temperatures will have a greater impact on the car's power consumption and said that they would conduct a similar test during the winter.

EV skills gap for service & maintenance is a cause for concern!
The latest concern for the government, garages and consumers across the UK surrounding Electric Vehicles (EVs), is the lack of skills to perform servicing, maintenance and repair on these vehicles moving forward.
Despite the pressures placed on car manufacturers to achieve the 2030 ambitions set by the government, there seems to be no thought about the aftermarket for EVs and how garages will be able to upskill their workforce to cope with the demand.
According to the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), at the end of 2020 only 6.5% of the automotive sector was EV-ready – the IMI reported that this is leading to a lack in consumer confidence and a key reason why not everyone is convinced about the viability of EVs.
Despite this, the latest SMMT data reveals that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for more than one in 10 (10.7%) new car registrations in June 2021, followed by 8.7% for traditional hybrids and 6.5% for plug-in-hybrids.
So, with consumers seemingly turning to a greener form of transport in recent months, what is the plan to get the UK garage workforce up to speed with EVs?
Time to ramp up EV skills training...
Although the evidence and need for training & upskilling the current UK garage workforce is obvious, putting the relevant training in place is going to be huge task.
IMI CEO Steve Nash commented: "The fact that our analysis shows such a big deficit in the EV skilled workforce should ring alarm bells for government, with its big ambitions for 2030. The recent House of Commons Public Accounts Committee report into the transition to zero-emission vehicles highlighted the need to train and retrain the workforce required to service the new car fleet. But highlighting the need and actually committing to investment in the upskilling are two very different things. And the current skills gap right across the UK economy, exacerbated by a combination of Covid-19 and Brexit is adding a further dimension to the challenge."
The institute also added that for all those who are likely to work on EVs, the relevant training must be addressed as a matter of urgency, regardless of whether they are service and repair technicians or those working in the roadside recovery and blue light sectors.

NewMotion's EV Driver Survey: What can the industry learn about consumer attitudes towards EVs?
Covering five different countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, and speaking to more than 10,000 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers from across those countries, NewMotion's EV Driver Survey is said to be the largest and most comprehensive in the industry to date...and you could learn so much from it!
Garage owners and mechanics alike are starting to think about EV equipment and asking the questions:
What do consumers think of EVs?
What access do EV drivers currently have to charging stations?
What are consumers expectations for the future?
This information is readily available for you to download now, just visit NewMotion by clicking here.
So, what are Hofmann Megaplan's key takeaways from this survey?
3 Key Takeaways...
Breadth and diversity emerging among EV drivers across all countries.
The survey indicates that there is no 'average' EV driver and urges the market to not think there is a single profile for what an EV driver looks like.
Two-thirds were aged 25-54, in the central section of their working lives. Drivers in the UK were particularly young, with 16% of them under 25, while Belgium had the strongest take-up among over-65s, at 17%.
Drivers want more, faster, interoperable charge points
Two improvements to the charging experience for EV drivers were particularly popular; better and faster availability of public charging points, and charge point interoperability.
Better availability of public charge points came out strongly overall, with 48% choosing it – and 43% in the UK. This was beaten on average by faster EV charging, which was at the top of the list for 52% of drivers overall but only 41% for the UK.
Next in line is charge point interoperability, with 36% wanting a single charge card for every public charge point (28% in the UK).
Financial benefits beaten by environmental reasons for consumers choosing an EV
The research also found that drivers are increasingly choosing electric vehicles for eco reasons rather than financial; a total of 58% of drivers across all markets said they had opted for an EV for sustainability reasons versus 34% for financial reasons.
Interestingly, the gap between the two was closer in France and the UK; in both markets 31% of respondents said eco reasons ranked highest, with 21% of French EV drivers selecting financial reasons and 18% of UK drivers.
Electric Cars – what maintenance do they need?
Everyone has started to notice them popping up in their local town or village and they're even more popular with those living in the city. Electric Cars or EVs, is the hot topic in the automotive industry and also a subject widely debated in parliament.
For those of us who work within this sector, it is clear to see where the automotive industry is heading so for garage business owners, being one step ahead of the curve isn't a bad thing.
The basics of an Electric Vehicle…
We've seen the ads – Tesla, Volkswagen, Jaguar…the list goes on! But what truly is the difference between the cars we have come to love, and the new electric models deemed to be the future?
The simple answer is that these cars practically run themselves.
Electric vehicles involve fewer moving parts, emissions and liquids for your car to function so there is less to go wrong on a daily basis. Periodic software updates can also be remotely configured without a car dealership, so this begs the question, what actually needs maintaining?
The checklist:
Fluid Top Ups
Electric Car Battery Maintenance
Possibly the most important element in an EV, the battery is the largest and most expensive single component and requires more maintenance than any other on an electric car.
As a garage business owner, it is important to know that a visual inspection will not be enough to service a battery. This will only confirm that there is no obvious damage, leaking or corrosion – but any potential faults after a service need to be identified by undertaking the relevant testing. Just like any other electrical item, the charge of your electric car's battery will deteriorate over time and can take 10-15 years to notice.
Replacing such a component due to lack of maintenance can be a serious investment for the vehicle owner!
Brake Wear on an Electric Vehicle
Did you know that there is no combustion engine in an EV? That means that the brakes and suspension are the largest mechanical part on an electric vehicle.
As with petrol and diesel cars now, the brakes need to be periodically assessed to ensure there is no wear and tear that can compromise the safety of the driver and any passengers.
That being said, once the driver takes their foot off the accelerator, the motor will react in a way that is similar to applying the brakes in a normal car – meaning that most electric cars will use their brakes far less than petrol cars, but when they do, they have to stop a much heavier vehicle.
Tyre Wear is the big difference
The pure size of an EV's battery pack means that compared to a petrol car, electric cars weigh between 20-30% more on average. That has a massive impact on the wear of a customer's tyres.
When considering your electric car services moving forwards, you need to be aware that you will be seeing electric car drivers much more often for replacement tyres. They need to be checked more consistently by owners and more thoroughly by garages – ensuring you have capable tyre fitting equipment could make a massive difference to your services moving forwards.
Other maintenance services to properly check over the tyres such as wheel-balancing, alignment and rotating the tyres will certainly make them last much longer.

More than Luck of the Irish: What Guinness Can Show Us About the Power of Content Marketing
By Krystal Overmyer on March 15, 2018
If you plan to sip a Guinness on St. Patrick's Day, you have content marketing to thank.
The iconic black beer from Ireland is popular throughout the world because of a lucky stroke of genius-an idea that foreshadowed the rise of branded content.
In the 1950s, Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of Guinness Brewery, was at a shooting party in County Wexford when he hatched an idea for a reference book that aimed to settle pub arguments throughout the world, according to the brand. He and his companions couldn't agree on the fastest game bird in Europe. What the world needed, he realized, was an authoritative source of facts and figures: The Guinness Book of Records.
Like a good content marketer, Sir Hugh knew his audience, saw a problem, and sought to fix it with valuable, original content. His simple but revolutionary idea grew to become a household name, and the global phenomenon of Guinness continues today. Thirty-three million pints of Guinness will be consumed worldwide this St. Patrick's Day. The beer is brewed in 49 countries and sold in over 150 countries. And of all the places tourists to Ireland could visit, the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin trumps them all as Ireland's most popular tourist attraction.
Despite the global recognition, the brand has still had to contend with the challenges of social media and digital marketing in an ever-noisier environment. Today, the brand continues to evolve its brand story, with new forays into experiential marketing and digital storytelling.
Rebranding through Experience
Guinness may be an iconic brand, but it hasn't been immune to industry changes. Sales have been flat over the past five years. Meanwhile, craft beer sales are growing in the US, albeit at a slower pace in recent years.
With those trends in mind, Guinness is aiming to reposition itself as an experimental craft brewery in the US market. The company opened its Guinness Test Taproom in Baltimore in late 2017, its first foray into US brewing in over 60 years. The idea, according to the master brewers in charge, is to give beer lovers the opportunity to try several experimental, small-batch brews on a given visit. The interactive experience aims to help people see the 259-year-old brand in a new light.
"We want to show we have the chops to be just as good as your favorite craft brewery," said Oliver Gray, the brewery's marketing manager, in an On Tap Magazine interview.
The brand's social media presence reflects that new orientation. Instagram posts name-drop the local coffee shops and restaurants that partnered on some of the experimental brews available at the taproom.
This digital storytelling technique shows a new side of Guinness-not just a beer, but a brewery embedded in the up-and-coming craft beer scene.
On the other hand, the flagship Guinness Storehouse in Dublin leans into the brand's long and storied history. The storehouse functions as a cross between a museum, restaurant, bar, and interactive marketing campaign. Visitors can learn about the history of the brand, check out an Instagram-worthy blue waterfall (a symbol of the mountain water the brand uses to brew its stout), play the Guinness harp, and of course enjoy the Guinness tasting rooms.
These interactive experiences are memorable and shareable, and they work to solidify the brand's reputation as legendary.
Brewing a Digital Story
Like many brands, Guinness has looked to digital video to tell a new kind of brand story. The global "Made of More" campaign seeks to lift up emotional, powerful stories of unique individuals. For example, in sub-Saharan Africa, the brand created the associated "Made of Black" campaign to share gripping stories of individuals who persevered amid adversity. In one of the 90-second films, a Nigerian man describes how despite losing his leg in an accident, he was able to find love and friendship through his passion for football.
The campaign was shared on sub-Saharan Africa network TV, YouTube, and Facebook, according to The Drum.
Through sharing emotional stories, the brand seeks to engage more deeply with a broader spectrum of people. Guinness has a reputation as an older man's drink, and the numbers bear that out: 62 percent of men have had a Guinness, compared to only 28 percent of women. Fewer young people have tried Guinness, as well: Only 35 percent of consumers ages 18–24 have ever had one.
While the brand is eager to broaden its appeal to a younger demographic, not all efforts have been successful. Beverage company Diageo, who owns Guinness, pulled all of its ads from Snapchat following criticism that a Captain Morgan Snapchat lens would appeal to children, according to Campaign. Diageo, which had previously used the platform for Guinness ads as well, was forced to halt advertising when the Advertising Standards Authority ruled that it was likely users under 18 were being exposed to the ads (age-targeting efforts notwithstanding).
On other social media platforms, Guinness also seems to punch below its weight. Guinness ranks eighth highest for engagement among all global beer brands tracked by the Burst Insight Engagement Score, which factors post frequency and engagement metrics on social media platforms, according to The Drum. The "Made of More" series aimed to refocus the brand's marketing efforts toward social media, and one of the videos became the first 60-second video ad on Instagram in the UK and Ireland, according to Marketing Week.
On Instagram, the American arm of the brand is trying some tried-and-true tactics to generate engagement. The brand solicited user-generated content with an advocacy angle through its #StacheForCharity campaign. Users post a pic featuring the Guinness 'stache, and the brand donates $1 to the Guinness Gives Back Fund. The concept, while not groundbreaking, is a fun way of asking consumers to connect with an iconic feature of the brew-the creamy foam-while also generating some social buzz.
Tradition and Ritual
While the Guinness story evolves for the social media and digital marketing age, it can also reach back into its rich history to connect with consumers. Indeed, history and ritual are among the great assets of the brand. When you pour a Guinness, a special two-part, two-minute process is required, a ritual that has spawned a legion of how-to articles detailing the perfect pouring technique. Branded video content, like this YouTube how-to, showcase the unique pour that makes the brand special and different from competitors.
Thanks to savvy marketing, Guinness continues to loom large globally as an iconic brand. By broadening its appeal through digital content marketing and brand storytelling, Guinness hopes to engage new audiences while maintaining its ageless quality.

Hello there everyone, I still haven't died of heat stroke, so that's a plus!
The person we had dinner with last night is a huge Star Wars fan so when he asked us what we want to eat I replied "give us a meal worthy of the tusken raiders". He then made kabobs and blue milk (it wasn't just milk with blue dye, he added in stuff that made it taste completely different). So that was awesome. Apart from that we've just had regular white people food.
My companion's cool, he's a hard worker. We're trying to get him to learn Spanish so I don't have to singlehandedly teach/contact people when we knock on their doors (which happens very frequently).
As for any stories, I don't really have any yet for this transfer.

Is there anything better than a brownie? Well yes there is – a stuffed brownie! Each Oreo is like a little present wrapped in a brownie parcel!
1) Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.
2) Grease and line a rectangular brownie/traybake tin.
2) In a large saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat.
4) Once melted, take the pan off the heat and pop the dark chocolate into the melted butter. Stir.
5) When the chocolate has melted, add in the sugar and stir thoroughly.
6) Add in the milk and the flour, along with a pinch of salt. Stir until you have a thick chocolatey mix.
7) Add one egg at a time, stirring after each addition. Your mixture will thicken after each egg!
8) Pour 2/3 of the mixture into your prepared traybake tin.
9) Press the Oreos into the brownie mixture in the tin. You should be able to fit 4 Oreos going across the shorter sides of the rectangle and 5 Oreos going down the longer sides. Push them down so you just see the tops of the cookies.
10) Pour the remaining 1/3 of brownies mixture of top of the Oreos and use a spatula to carefully spread, so that each of the cookies are covered.
11) Bake in your oven for 25-30 minutes until the top has a papery look and the middle still has a bit of a wobble!
12) Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin before slicing. You will be able to see a faint outline of each Oreo, so you should be able to cut 20 squares, each with an Oreo encased inside.
These brownies can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

The summer holiday's are now well under way and we have a new addition to our family. She is called Mathilde and she is an Old English Sheepdog who, at the time of writing, is just nine weeks old. All very sweet, cuddly and amazing with her besotted older brothers but not exactly the best addition to a houseful of boy energy at the start of the summer holidays. Only because she cannot come with us to the Zoo or because when we took her for a walk in the forest last week we literally had to carry her back. So we try to make adventures a little closer to home.
We planned to make Elderflower cordial and needed to gather flowers from the forest in order to do so. I find that any adventure involving a knife and a reason to climb tree's is a draw for the boys and we set off with great enthusiasm and a mission to collect forty flower heads. We quickly realised that actually a forest is not a great location to pick the flowers as they need sunlight to grow and in a dense canopy this meant they were mostly out of reach at the top of the trees despite our heroic efforts. Thankfully, we were making in tandem with a friend who happily realised that she had the perfect tree right there in her very own back garden, so we topped off our foraging treasures with some even better flowers from her garden.
We used a very straightforward recipe from Trine Hahneman's Scandinavian Christmas. There are a few recipes in the book for Christmas that can only be made in advance using seasonal products at their very best earlier in the year and Elderflower Cordial is one of them. Having made a few of the recipes over the Christmas season very successfully I really recommend this book as a perfect introduction to the heart of Danish cooking.
The flower heads were checked for bugs and debris then added to a bowl with sliced lemon, citric acid and two litres of sugar syrup. I will gloss over exactly how much sugar but let's just say we brush our teeth very well afterwards. I am not a very patient cook and despite the recipe needing four days to steep I have to admit to giving up after two. I hope that we did not miss a vital stage of the process but we think the cordial tastes amazing just the way it is.
There is a bottle in the freezer waiting to be added to Champagne at Christmas as per the recipe book but I suspect that the rest will disappear pretty quickly. In fact the very next day we started on batch number two because it was so delicious. There are also four jars of strawberry and elderflower jam in the dresser curtesy of a trip up to the Pick Your Own fruit farm at Vejborggaard.
We will be making a lot more trips into the forest as the summer roll's on, there are raspberries to be collected, cherries and blackberries too. We just hope that puppy can manage the whole walk on her own soon!

Q: How to substract values in DataFrames omiting some solumns I created two dataFrames and I want to subtract their values omitting two first columns in the first DataFrame.
df = pd.DataFrame({'sys':[23,24,27,30],'dis': [0.8, 0.8, 1.0,1.0], 'Country':['US', 'England', 'US', 'Germany'], 'Price':[500, 1000, 1500, 2000]})
print df

index = {'sys':[23,24,27,30]}
df2 = pd.DataFrame({ 'sys':[23,24,27,30],'dis': [0.8, 0.8, 1.0,1.0],'Price2':[300, 600, 4000, 1000], 'Price3': [2000, 1000, 600, 2000]})

df = df.set_index(['sys','dis', 'Country']).unstack().fillna(0)
df = df.reset_index()

df.columns.names =[None, None]
df.columns = df.columns.droplevel(0)

infile = pd.read_csv('benchmark_data.csv')
infile_slice =  infile[(infile.System_num==26)]['Benchmark']
infile_slice = infile_slice.reset_index()
infile_slice = infile_slice.drop(infile_slice.index[4])
del infile_slice['index']
print infile_slice

dfNew = df.sub(infile_slice['Benchmark'].values, axis=0)

In this case I can substract only all values from all columns. How can I skip two first columns from df?
I've tried: dfNew = df.iloc[3:].sub(infile_slice['Benchmark'].values,axis=0), but it does not work.
DataFrames look like:
df:
     England  Germany      US
0  23  0.8      0.0      0.0   500.0
1  24  0.8   1000.0      0.0     0.0
2  27  1.0      0.0      0.0  1500.0
3  30  1.0      0.0   2000.0     0.0

infile_slice:
Benchmark
0     3.3199
1    -4.0135
2    -4.9794
3    -3.1766

A: Maybe, this is what you are looking for?
>>> df
            England  Germany      US
0  23  0.8      0.0      0.0   500.0
1  24  0.8   1000.0      0.0     0.0
2  27  1.0      0.0      0.0  1500.0
3  30  1.0      0.0   2000.0     0.0
>>> infile_slice
   Benchmark
0     3.3199
1    -4.0135
2    -4.9794
3    -3.1766
>>> df.iloc[:, 4:] = df.iloc[:, 4:].sub(infile_slice['Benchmark'].values,axis=0)
>>> df
            England  Germany         US
0  23  0.8      0.0      0.0   496.6801
1  24  0.8   1000.0      0.0     4.0135
2  27  1.0      0.0      0.0  1504.9794
3  30  1.0      0.0   2000.0     3.1766
>>>

A: You could use iloc as follows:
df_0_2 = df.iloc[:,0:2]      # First 2 columns
df_2_end = df.iloc[:,2:].sub(infile_slice['Benchmark'].values, axis=0)

pd.concat([df_0_2, df_2_end], axis=1)

              England    Germany         US
0  23  0.8    -3.3199    -3.3199   496.6801
1  24  0.8  1004.0135     4.0135     4.0135
2  27  1.0     4.9794     4.9794  1504.9794
3  30  1.0     3.1766  2003.1766     3.1766

As a parent of a special needs teenager, you may be worried about what may happen when your child turns 18. Up until that important birthday, parents have complete authority over their child's finances and can participate in health care decisions. After age 18, however, a child is transformed into an "adult" under the law and a parent can no longer exercise control over a child's finances or property.
For parents of a special needs teenager, the 18th birthday may be a bit scary. For example, if your child has Autism he or she may be fully capable of handling their own money, but the child may also be very trusting of strangers and may be susceptible to undue influence. In Indiana, a parent may file a petition for guardianship over their special needs child. A guardianship allows the parent to continue to exercise care and control over the teenager's finances, property, and to participate in health care decisions even after the child turns 18.
Asking your child's physician for a Physician's Report.
File a petition with the probate court.
Reasonably and responsibility manage your child's finances.
Periodically report to the Court.
A physician's report tells the Court your child's diagnosis and why a guardianship is necessary to protect the child. The petition attaches the physician's report and asks the Court to appoint one or two individuals, usually the parents, as the child's guardian. At the hearing, the child and potential guardians will be asked to testify. This process is informal and friendly. If the petition is granted, then the guardians will receive letters of guardianship and will take an oath. The guardian then has the power to maintain and care for the child's finances and property. The guardian is required to file an inventory of the protected person's assets within ninety days and is required to submit an accounting within one year, and then two years thereafter.
The guardianship can be permanent or temporary. For example, if your child has developmental delays and requires a few years to mature enough to handle his or her own finances, the guardianship can be terminated. The guardianship can also last indefinitely if the child will need a guardian for his or her lifetime.
If you have questions about obtaining a guardianship over your special needs teen or about guardianships in general, contact Ken or Sara.
In 2013 the Indiana legislature created a new kind of advanced directive form called the Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment form, or POST. This form is meant to allow chronically ill patients to dictate their end-of-life care on a form that will travel with them from facility to facility and will ensure they receive consistent care. The form discusses whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be administered, whether or not to administer life support measures, antibiotics, and artificial nutrition.
An advanced chronic progressive illness.
An advanced chronic progressive frailty.
A condition caused by injury, disease, or illness from which, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty: (1) there can be no recovery; and (2) death will occur from the condition within a short period without the provision of life prolonging procedures.
A medical condition that, if the person were to suffer cardiac or pulmonary failure, recitation would be unsuccessful or within a short period the person would experience repeated cardiac or pulmonary failure resulting in death.
I.C. 16-36-6-5. Essentially, the POST is meant for individuals who are chronically ill and who are not expected to recover.
The form may be filled out by the individual, if over 18, or his or her representative (health care representative, healthcare power of attorney, or guardian, see I.C. 16-36-6-7(a)). If an individual is under the age of 18 that individual cannot complete the POST, unless certain requirements are met under I.C. 16-36-1-3(a)(2) (for example, the minor is emancipated or not receiving support from his or her parents).
The form should be filled out in consultation with a health care provider and it must be signed by a physician. The POST allows patients to designate a healthcare representative who is authorized to make decisions on behalf of the patient if the patient is no longer competent or well enough to make those decisions for him- or herself. Note that if an individual appoints a healthcare power of attorney on the POST form, that declaration supersedes any such appointment on any other form. See I.C. 16-36-6-20.
A copy of the form should be kept in the patient's medical records. The original POST is considered the personal property of the individual and should be kept with the patient at all times.
The POST can be revoked in a variety of ways, including in writing or orally. The form is meant to be flexible and the statute allows a patient to change the form at any time. A patient may also change his or her mind during treatment and orally request different treatment than is stated on the POST.
The POST will likely be very valuable for chronically ill patients, especially for those who frequently move between facilities. This form, however, should be used in conjunction with a properly tailored estate plan that includes a last will and testament, general durable power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, and/or advanced healthcare directives.
For example, if a chronically ill patient no longer has the capacity to fill out the POST, then that patient's health care representative may complete the form. However, that patient must have first appointed the health care representative through his or her estate planning documents. Additionally, a healthcare power of attorney will allow your representative broader powers to make healthcare decisions for you, as the POST is limited to the three categories as described on the form. An advanced healthcare directive (or living will) similarly allows you to broadly describe any medical interventions you wish to or don't wish to receive. As such, the POST is another useful tool that should be part of your overall estate plan.
If you need assistance with your estate plan or have questions about the POST, please contact Ken or Sara.
What to do if you receive a discontinue notice from Medicaid, even after you have established a Miller Trust.
Starting June 1, 2014 all Medicaid recipients who have income over $2,163 must establish a Miller Trust to maintain or establish Medicaid eligibility. This new law has created confusion and frustration among Medicaid recipients and practitioners alike. We anticipate that even if a recipient established a Miller Trust and sent the required documentation to the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) the recipient may receive a discontinue notice from Medicaid due to the backlog at FSSA in reviewing the trust documents.
Your benefits will continue during the appeal.
You have a right to a hearing.
The notice you receive from Medicaid will give you the address to send your appeal.
The letter should contain your signature and state that you want a hearing.
You have 10 days from the date of the notice (or 13 days if the notice was mailed) to appeal.
During the appeal you should be able to establish the existence of the Miller Trust and there should be no lapse in your benefits.
If you failed to establish the Miller Trust and submit the documentation to the FSSA before June 1, 2014 you can still appeal and work on establishing the trust during the appeal. The FSSA has information about Miller Trusts here.
Ken and Sara are happy to answer any questions you may have about your Medicaid eligibility.
