The 29 year old French international and Real Madrid star's exposition have come under fire in the recent time, but the Real Madrid's head coach remains faithful I support of the attacker.
LATEST FOOTBALL NEWS
The 44 year old foyer Real Madrid player and currently Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane thinks that the Real Madrid striker Kari Benzema is having a great season and he brushed aside all the critics about him.
A Few days ago in their match against Malaga the French striker faced mockery from some of their fans where the Madrid side won the match against their counterpart by 2-1 goal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The French international scored in five successive matches for Real Madrid after the mid season break, but then he fails to score in the last four matches for them.
A survey has been made in Madrid and in that survey the news just came up that 88% Madrid fans loves to see the French striker Karim Benzema on the bench.
On this matter Zidane said that: "We're not concerned, he's having a great season,"
"We know what Karim can offer the side but the fans always want more from their players and that's something we must accept.
"He has the right character, he can accept the fans' point of view. He won't hide and he will always have my support.
The French coach also rejects the thought he gives some extra preference to his countryman.
He added: "There's no difference,"
"I love all of my players. I have 24 players and regardless what is said about each they are my footballers. They all play for Real Madrid so you are exposed to criticism, it's part and parcel of being a footballer.
"The only thing we have in common is the language, that's our special bond but I treat all of my players the same, they're all important.
"I'm not going to talk about campaigns but he can accept what he reads. The team comes first and he'll keep playing for the side and his team-mates.
"I just want my players to give their all. Sometimes they receive praise, sometimes not, sometimes it's fair and sometimes unfair but you keep giving your best.

These Peanut Butter Caramel Slices should come with a warning. They are insanely good and it takes a lot of self control to not have a next one and another after that. If there is one recipe you ever make from this blog I think this one is it, especially with all the holidays coming up and cookie jars that need to be filled for arriving friends and family.
I first came across the recipe on Cook Republic's Instagram feed and thought I would make these for Cookie Swap 4 a while back, but of course when Cookie Swap came around I had completely forgotten of my plans made.
The original recipe did not have peanut butter as an ingredient but I thought the peanut butter would work really well with the caramel. It is not overly "peanutty" but gives a good background flavour.
Food is all about texture and cookies and biscuits are some of the best vehicles to play with textures. The peanut butter cookie base has a crumbly, almost sandy like texture and on top of that is the smooth, gooey and rich caramel topping. I took the caramel to quite a dark bake – keep an eye on the oven and make sure you do not burn the delicious topping.
These slices are very sweet and utterly rich so keep them on the small side when cutting. From the tin I used, I managed about 30 squares and for most people (myself excluded) one slice at a time will be more than enough. I also think replacing the vanilla extract with coffee extract would add a tasty variation.
On baking, the caramel did stick to the baking paper around the edges so you will have to trim it a bit but was quite easy to do and I didn't lose too much biscuit.
Grease and line a baking pan of about 20cm x 30cm with the baking paper hanging over the edges.
Melt the butter and peanut butter.
Place coconut, sugar, flour in a bowl. Add the melted butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Press the mixture thinly into the bottom of the prepared tin.
Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until golden.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the condensed milk, golden syrup and salt.
Stir constantly over a low heat to avoid sticking and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the caramel has thickened and smooth.
Pour caramel mixture onto the baked cookie layer.
Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the caramel is bubbly and a golden brown.
Remove from the oven. Cool for a couple of hours until firm and then slice and serve.
That sounds divine! One of those to make when I need to take something somewhere otherwise I would probably get through the pan myself. Love the idea of adding coffee extract to it.
These sound delicious ~ can't wait to try!
I wish I could grab these cookies off the screen! Will attempt this recipe for thanksgiving.
They are quite difficult to put down Jen! Hope they are a winner for thanksgiving.
They are impossible to put down once you've started Ariana! Hope you enjoy.

Warrior Canine Connection Receives $75,000 Grant from Boeing in Surprise Fashion
September 6, 2019 /in Press Releases /by WCC Comms
BOYDS, Md. – Warrior Canine Connection (WCC) is pleased to announce it has received a $75,000 grant from The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) to support its Mission Based Trauma Recovery (MBTR) programming in the D.C. region and beyond.
News of the grant funding was provided at Boeing's Arlington site today during a visit with several of WCC's youngest service pups in training from two recent litters — the No Fail Mission and Allegiance Litters. Boeing employees helped to socialize the future service dogs, a process that starts at three weeks of age.
While there, Tim Keating, Boeing executive vice president of Government Operations, surprised WCC Founder and Executive Director Rick Yount with news of the grant funding, which added some most welcome excitement to the visit.
"That was one dog-gone great surprise!" said Rick Yount, founder and executive director, Warrior Canine Connection. "It's not every day that you attend an event and find out your organization has received a $75,000 grant. We are so thankful for Boeing's continued support and commitment to serving our nation's Veterans, we couldn't do it without them."
This recent grant funding brings Boeing's total financial support of WCC to $175,000 over the past two years.
"Boeing is proud to partner with Warrior Canine Connection and recognizes the important work they are doing to support our military veterans and their families, said Tim Keating, Boeing's executive vice president of Government Operations. "With this additional investment, Boeing is helping recovering Warriors reconnect with life, their families, their communities, and each other."
WCC uses a Mission Based Trauma Recovery (MBTR) therapy model designed as an intervention for combat Veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. The MBTR model provides Veterans with a sense of purpose while they are receiving treatment at Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities. It is designed to remediate their symptoms of combat stress, such as isolation, emotional numbness and re-experiencing events from their combat days. MBTR also harnesses the healing power of the Warrior Ethos in which Warriors train service dogs for fellow Veterans; through the process, they learn to focus on the dogs and their mission to help another Veteran.
For more information, please contact Beth Bourgeois, Warrior Canine Connection, at beth.bourgeois@warriorcanineconnection.org or 719-216-3206.
ABOUT WARRIOR CANINE CONNECTION:

Based on the concept of Warriors helping Warriors, WCC's therapeutic service dog training program is designed to mitigate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and other challenges, while giving injured combat Veterans a sense of purpose, and help in reintegrating back into their families and communities.

CU Anschutz Today: Service animal training program helps heal veterans Combat-wounded veterans meet new service dogs


or where I really belong.
when there's nothing else to strive.
Everything else is higher above.
but of course I'd also be sad.
my friend, I hope you would be fine.
I lived without the the phrase "I should".
but all the pain was worth it.
but I was way too afraid to try.
Life wasn't always like a dream.
and that's more worth than the words "I might.


Wouldn't it be great if we could just change the world RIGHT NOW? Just hit a button and cut out every hurtful, sad, tragic, scary and bad part of it, to start fresh and build it back with love, friendship, trust and laughter?
I think we can change the world, but we have to start with ourselves. If you can be a better you, and inspire others to do the same.. Have them inspire others to do the same again… Sooner or later we have to get around the world, right? It's a nice thought.
I have worked a lot on myself the last 7-8 months. Every single day I have strived to develop myself and become a better me than I was the day before. I have gone through great changes and it feels fantastic, but I still have a long way to go. I keep working on myself every day. I honestly think you will never be "done" developing yourself. You are never "fully there". There is always room for improvement.
And like Zig Ziglar said: "People often say motivation doesn't last. Neither does bathing – that's why we recommend it daily." I think that sums it up pretty neatly.
Today is the last day of specific lessons that I share from our recent event in Denver. The Empower Network(and Big Idea Mastermind) event was a huge success. I am strongly encouraging my entire team that next time we should all go. There is nothing better for your development than going to the event, meeting other like-minded people and learn new aspects of yourself and the business. NEXT EVENT WE GO ON STAGE TOGETHER(to pick up our paychecks:))!
Vick Strizheus said to start with yourself. Talk to yourself as who you are, a leader. You are a leader of yourself and you have to act like it. There is no other person that can control your thoughts and your emotions. Only you. And you have to be a good leader!
Justin Verrengia had a very touching speech for us on Saturday. Both him and his wife are excellent speakers and I don't think there were many dry eyes left in the room when they finished. The passion and vision this couple share is impressive. One of the most important things I got from this speech(but I got a lot and I can't repeat it all cause I wouldn't do it justice), is that you should not compete against and compare yourself to others… ONLY compare yourself to YOU. Try to be a better person today than you were yesterday. Be the change you want to see in the world!
I have a big vision myself and it comes in many layers. I was born and raised in Washington, DC and my mother and I were not of the wealthiest households on the block. I am forever thankful to my mom and her ability to "find a way". One of the things she pulled together was getting me decent dental care. She saw the importance in this and so do I. It's great to smile a big confident smile to the world. I want to help young kids growing up in my old community so they can get free dental care – 1. for health reasons 2. for confidence reasons.

Why We Need New 'Good Life Goals'
Solitaire Townsend
https://www.wearefuterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/SLG_Goals-and-Actions-C4_H264.mp4.mp4
From gender equality to ending hunger, via climate action, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have got it all. The world's governments, civil society, stakeholders and business did a pretty good job of creating a To Do List for humanity.
Except that list is written in a way which excludes the most important change-maker of all – YOU.
Because sustainability won't be solved by institutions without individuals. Because each of us need to be invited to take part. Because we all have the right, the responsibility, and the opportunity to change the world for the better.
Because 'people power' is as important as 'powerful people' when it comes to progress.
At Futerra we know the incredible impact millions of folk working together can make. So, a few months ago we hacked the 17 Global Goals into a set of Good Life Goals.
These were simple behaviour asks for each of the 17 SDG's. It was a playful attempt to show how easily the SDG's could be translated into lifestyles. We didn't expect much, but 1000's of you liked our first post; you tweeted it, shared it and threw new actions, asks and big ideas at us. Clearly, we had struck a nerve.
To their everlasting credit the United Nations 10 YFP Sustainable Lifestyles and Education programme decided to work with us to make our crazy idea a reality.
Why Good Life Goals?
By sharing clear, evidence based, personal actions for each SDG we can build confidence that we are all important, we are all needed, and we can each make the Global Goals a reality.
Changing the world has never just be about policies or products, it always comes down to people.
We've gathered a dream team to make this happen, led by Futerra and the 10 YFP Sustainable Lifestyles and Education programme (which is co-led by the governments of Sweden and Japan). We have the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), UN Environment, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and UNESCO. All working feverishly to make this happen.
Because identifying smart personal behaviours for each SDG isn't going to be easy. Our criteria are strict:
Will this personal action make a tangible impact on the Goal?
Will this action be accessible/relevant/affordable to the greatest number of people?
Is the action comprehensible and likely to benefit our own lives?
Our second rule is the hardest to meet. Our brilliant partner, Peter Repinski from SEI, said "Finding evidence-based actions that are relevant to lifestyles worldwide, from over to under-consumers, and in different cultural contexts, will be a challenge. But we all share a planet, and the SDGs themselves, so the process of creating these SDG links to lifestyles is a necessary, and overdue, step in the SDG process."
We have already begun with our first three Good Life Goals:
SDG11
During the United Nations General Assembly in September we'll launch all 17.
Then what happens?
Businesses interested in lifestyles and purpose can leverage their brand power and marketing to help their consumers change behaviour. We'll set up a business roundtable to work on that.
Educators can use these actions as an 'on-ramp' to the SDG's themselves. Because even the youngest children can make a difference in their daily lives.
Civil society and NGO's can activate their members and audiences and push us to make these personal actions even better, harder and bigger.
Governments can build in the incentives and infrastructure to help all us take these actions, every day.
We've only just started. Everything is draft, in development and work in progress.
But we made a film, because we're Futerra and we know logic always has to come with a touch of magic.
Perhaps we'll design an emoji for every action. Perhaps we'll use celebs, or real people, or cartoons. Perhaps we write a massive report on people power?
It's going to be a busy summer.

Q: PostgreSQL subquery calculations from unrelated models I've been trying different ways of doing this but not sure how to go about it in the best way.
I have several models that are all related to a parent 'Client' model. For this example (which has nothing to do with my actual problem) let's assume Clients have Email Orders and Phone Orders. So each Email Order or Phone Order is related to a client, but have no relationship to each other.
I want to run a query on Clients and return all clients, and the total of a field within the orders for each client (eg: USD Amount - a field that exists in both child models) in addition to perhaps the total TAX for both the orders (so two aggregate columns to be returned).
One way is to run a subquery and another subquery within that for each case - the outer subquery sums the totals from the two inners. But then in this case when I try to capture two fields I get an error saying a Subquery can only return one column.
What's the best way to structure this?
EDIT:
The table structure (massively simplified with email/phone orders having the same structure for the purpose of the example) is as follows:
Client Table -
CREATE TABLE clients_client
(
  id integer NOT NULL,

  tax numeric(18,8) NOT NULL,
  tx_id character varying(200) NOT NULL,
  completed_at timestamp with time zone,

  client_id integer NOT NULL
)

The query I want to run (and I have nothing working at the moment so this is illustrative) is something along the following lines:
SELECT "clients_client"."id", "clients_client"."company_name", total_order_amount, total_order_tax
FROM "clients_client"
WHERE "clients_client"."deleted" = False

Where the 'total_order_amount' is the SUM of all the order amounts for both the child models, and the 'total_order_tax' is the SUM of tax amounts for both the child models.
I should add that each client can have zero or more of each order type.

A: Combine both orders tables using UNION ALL operator, and join a result to clients table:
SELECT c.company_name,
    sum( o.amount ) as amount,
    sum( o.tax ) as tax
FROM clients_client c
JOIN (
    SELECT client_id ,  amount, tax
    FROM clients_phoneorders
    UNION ALL
    SELECT client_id ,  amount, tax
    FROM clients_emailorders
) o
ON o.client_id = c.id
GROUP BY c.company_name

Q: Android Things - Creating a Camera Preview Session Fails, and no Preview is shown I am trying to deploy the Android TensorFlow-Lite Example, specifically, the Detector Activity.
I have had success in deploying it in a Tablet. The app works great, it is able to detect objects, put a bounding rectangle around it, with a label as well as a confidence level.
I then set up my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Board, installed Android Things in it, connected via ADB, and then deployed the same program from Android Studio. However, the screen I was using for my Rπ board was blank.
Upon checking a Camera Demo For Android Things tutorial, I had this idea to enable hardware acceleration in order to support the Camera Preview. I added in:
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

in the application tag of the Manifest.
I also added in the following within the application tag:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.things" />

And an intent filter in my activity tag:
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

So that the TensorFlow App runs after boot.
I deployed the application again, but the same error persists -- I am unable to configure the preview screen session.
Here is the following code that was included in the TensorFlow Example:
private void createCameraPreviewSession() {
    try {
        final SurfaceTexture texture = textureView.getSurfaceTexture();
        assert texture != null;

        // We configure the size of default buffer to be the size of camera preview we want.
        texture.setDefaultBufferSize(previewSize.getWidth(), previewSize.getHeight());

        // This is the output Surface we need to start preview.
        final Surface surface = new Surface(texture);

        // We set up a CaptureRequest.Builder with the output Surface.
        previewRequestBuilder = cameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW);
        previewRequestBuilder.addTarget(surface);

        LOGGER.e("Opening camera preview: " + previewSize.getWidth() + "x" + previewSize.getHeight());

        // Create the reader for the preview frames.
        previewReader =
                ImageReader.newInstance(
                        previewSize.getWidth(), previewSize.getHeight(), ImageFormat.YUV_420_888, 2);

        previewReader.setOnImageAvailableListener(imageListener, backgroundHandler);
        previewRequestBuilder.addTarget(previewReader.getSurface());

        // Here, we create a CameraCaptureSession for camera preview.
        cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(
                Arrays.asList(surface, previewReader.getSurface()),
                new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback() {

                    @Override
                    public void onConfigured(final CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                        // The camera is already closed
                        if (null == cameraDevice) {
                            return;
                        }

                        // When the session is ready, we start displaying the preview.
                        captureSession = cameraCaptureSession;
                        try {
                            // Auto focus should be continuous for camera preview.
                            previewRequestBuilder.set(
                                    CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE,
                                    CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);
                            // Flash is automatically enabled when necessary.
                            previewRequestBuilder.set(
                                    CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON_AUTO_FLASH);

                            // Finally, we start displaying the camera preview.
                            previewRequest = previewRequestBuilder.build();
                            captureSession.setRepeatingRequest(
                                    previewRequest, captureCallback, backgroundHandler);
                        } catch (final CameraAccessException e) {
                            LOGGER.e(e, "Exception!");
                            LOGGER.e("camera access exception!");
                        }
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onConfigureFailed(final CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                        showToast("Failed");
                        LOGGER.e("configure failed!!");
                    }
                },
                null);
    } catch (final CameraAccessException e) {
        LOGGER.e("camera access exception!");
        LOGGER.e(e, "Exception!");
    }
}

The error log is the one that is in the onConfigureFailed override method, and the relevant error logs leading towards that statement are:
11-12 14:02:40.677 1991-2035/org.tensorflow.demo E/CameraCaptureSession: Session 0: Failed to create capture session; configuration failed
11-12 14:02:40.679 1991-2035/org.tensorflow.demo E/tensorflow: CameraConnectionFragment: configure failed!!

However, I couldn't trace the Session 0: stack trace.
Aside from turning on hardware acceleration and adding several other tags to the Manifest, I have not tried anything.
I have done my research and I have seen other examples, but they only take a photo at the click of a button. I need a working cameraPreview.
I also have that CameraDemoForAndroidThings example, but I'm afraid that I don't know a lick of Kotlin to be able to guess how it works.
If there's any one who managed to make a Java version of the TensorFlow Detection Activity run on Raspberry Pi Android Things, kindly contribute and let us know how you did it.
UPDATE:
Apparently, the camera can only support one stream configuration at a time. I was also able to infer that I have to modify the createCaptureSession() function to only use one surface, my function now looks like this:
cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(
//                    Arrays.asList(surface, previewReader.getSurface()),
        Arrays.asList(surface),
        new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback() {

            @Override
            public void onConfigured(final CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                // The camera is already closed
                if (null == cameraDevice) {
                    return;
                }

                // When the session is ready, we start displaying the preview.
                captureSession = cameraCaptureSession;
                try {
                    // Auto focus should be continuous for camera preview.
//                                previewRequestBuilder.set(
//                                        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE,
//                                        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);
                    // Flash is automatically enabled when necessary.
//                                previewRequestBuilder.set(
//                                        CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON_AUTO_FLASH);

                    // Finally, we start displaying the camera preview.
                    previewRequest = previewRequestBuilder.build();
                    captureSession.setRepeatingRequest(
                            previewRequest, captureCallback, backgroundHandler);

                    previewRequestBuilder.addTarget(previewReader.getSurface());

                } catch (final CameraAccessException e) {
                    LOGGER.e("exception hit while configuring camera!");
                    LOGGER.e(e, "Exception!");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onConfigureFailed(final CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                LOGGER.e("Configure failed!");
                showToast("Failed");
            }
        },
        null);

This enables me to get a live preview. However, the code does not proceed with sending the image from the preview to the processImage() block.
Has anyone successfully implemented the TensorFlow-Lite examples that involve live Camera Previews to Android Things?

Jussie Smollett Shows Up at Trump Tower for Protest
By Kipp Jones July 27, 2020 at 5:59pm
Jussie Smollett, a former TV star who is accused of faking a hate crime to portray himself as a victim of violence at the hands of Trump supporters, was seen protesting at Trump Tower in New York over the weekend.
The Daily Mail reported that the 38-year-old former "Empire" cast member joined a Black Lives Matter rally outside of President Donald Trump's luxury high rise building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Smollett, masked and wearing a T-shirt, denim shorts and a hat, raised a fist in the air with other activists.

Smollett's right inside forearm showed a tattoo representing the LGBT movement.
Trump Tower in Manhattan has been a draw for tourists in recent weeks since the city and Mayor Bill de Blasio commissioned a "Black Lives Matter" mural in front of the property.
On the same day Smollett was seen at Trump Tower, another large group held a banner demanding the resignation of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence with a 'Revolution Now!' flag, The Daily Mail reported.
The former TV star is accused of hiring two bothers to attack him in January 2019 in Chicago, ABC News reported.
Do you think New York City is harassing the president by allowing a divisive political statement to be painted in front of his property?
During the alleged attack, Smollett said two men put a noose around his neck, poured chemicals on him, and shouted that he was in "MAGA country," a reference to Trump's 2016 "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.
Smollett also claimed the men used racist and homophonic slurs.
The brothers, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, have cooperated with the police.
The men allege Smollett, their associate, paid them to participate in the alleged hoax.
As news first spread of an alleged hate crime, President Trump quickly disavowed the apparent attack on Smollett.

"I think that's horrible. It doesn't get worse, as far as I'm concerned," Trump told reporters on Jan. 31, 2019, according to a White House transcript.
However, after police stated they believed the crime was actually a hoax that Smollett paid to have committed against him, Trump scorched the actor.
Smollett had previously said he believed the attack occurred because of his opposition to Trump.
"I come really, really hard against 45," he told ABC News. "I come really, really hard against his administration and I don't hold my tongue."
"I come really, really hard against 45. I don't hold my tongue." @JussieSmollett says he believes he was targeted because of his criticism toward Pres. Trump's administration based on what was said during the attack. https://t.co/b5efiP0JCG pic.twitter.com/uaxer5iTB1
— Good Morning America (@GMA) February 14, 2019
Smollett was accused of attempting to use the Black Lives Matter protests to his benefit in court last month by linking his case with national unrest about perceived racial bias in law enforcement.
Smollett is now the defendant facing six felony counts of disorderly conduct after he allegedly knowingly misled police to investigate charges he knew were false.
The Chicago Police Department wants to be reimbursed over $130,000 for costs related to the investigation into the alleged attack on Smollett, according to The Associated Press.

FRED MORRISON Live in Concert!
Scottish multi-instrumentalist and composer Fred Morrison is bringing his lively and adventurous musical style to Ottawa on February 6th!
Fred Morrison was born and raised near Glasgow, but it's the celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his father's native South Uist, in the outer Hebrides, that forms the bedrock of his intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style.
His outstanding technical prowess saw him winning many top competition prizes while still at school, meanwhile being inspired by pioneering acts like the Bothy Band and the Tannahill Weavers. Although his first-love instrument remains the great Highland bagpipes, over the years his mastery has expanded to encompass whistles, Scottish smallpipes, or reelpipes – Morrison being a pivotal populariser of this once-rare variety – and Irish uilleann pipes.
MACISAAC AND MACKENZIE will be opening for Fred!
Get your tickets for a great night of music that you don't want to miss!

Poster Designers Stockholm
Teater Brunnsgatan Fyra
Here you will find posters from selected plays on Teater Brunnsgatan Fyra, which is a theatre in Stockholm, started by Allan Edwall. After his death in 1997, the theatre was continued by Kristina Lugn and since 2011 it is Kristina Lugn's daughter Martina Montelius who is artistic leader.
The theatre was founded in 1986 by Allan Edwall who wanted a theatre focused on classical texts, which he then processed to adapt to the scene. Most often, these were performed as monologues. Among the performances set up by Edwall were: King Oidipus of Sofokles, Doctor Glass of Hjalmar Söderberg, Kafka Better Without Dog and The Mild of Fjodor Dostoevsky.
After Edwall's death in 1997, Kristina Lugn took over as an artistic director and the theatre was transformed into an ideal society.
In 2011 Kristina Lugn's daughter Martina Montelius took over and is today the artist's leader of Teater Brunnsgatan Fyra.

Deborah Chabrian
Deborah Chabrian is a watercolor artist who transforms houses, gardens, and objects into vibrant narratives. Her paintings have been included in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and awarded honors from The American Watercolor Society, The National Watercolor Society, The Portrait Institute, The National Academy of Design, and The Society of Illustrators. Her work graces more than 500 book covers and is featured in numerous books and magazines on art.
Passionate about art since childhood, Deborah was born and raised in Illinois, and won a full scholarship to Parson's School of Design in NYC, from which she graduated with Honors. There she met her husband, portrait artist Edward Martinez, they are each other's strongest supporter, and most critical second eye. Over the years they have studied with many inspired artists, most notably, teacher and master realist painter, Burton Silverman. As a lover of watercolor, Deborah discovered Silverman, first through his book, Breaking the Rules of Watercolor, which led to several years of personal study in his NYC atelier. Silverman said of Chabrian: "In some measure Deborah's work is more than the watercolor medium she uses. Its excellence relies on her visual sensitivity and her expressive content to talk about the wonder of the ordinary, to reveal what our eyes usually just record without really seeing. In this regard, her work is very special indeed."
Deborah was chosen to paint at The Forbes Trinchera Ranch in CO, which culminated in a show at the Forbes Museum in NYC. She won the American Artist's Cover Competition, and her work appeared on the cover of the 2008 Summer issue of Watercolor Magazine. Recently her painting was chosen as a winner in the Best Watercolor category in the 8th annual PleinAir Salon, Splash, and ARC's Annual Competitions. Deborah's paintings are featured in The ARC Tenth and Eleventh Annual Salon Catalog and Splash 16.
Notable American Artist Editor, M. Stephen Doherty describes Deborah as "one of the most gifted artists working in the watercolor medium today. Her warm, engaging, and sensitive paintings demonstrate both her well developed skills and her understanding of great art."
Deborah paints still life, figurative and architectural subjects for commercial and private commission in her studio located in an 18th century Farmhouse in rural CT, which she shares with her artist husband and their two children.

Belarus president 'effectively blackmails' Putin in migrant crisis, Russian outlet says
November 19, 2021 by editorialteam
As scenes of Middle Eastern migrants alternately storming fences in an attempt to get into Europe and huddling frozen around campfires make headlines, the handy conclusion was that Belarus' president, Alexander Lukashenko, wanted to wreak a little havoc to get back at the West for sanctions. Or that he wanted to make Western leaders — who have in large part not recognized him as president — this time around finally face up to him. Or that he wanted to make countries like Poland look like the evil ones, the real human rights abusers, for not allowing these migrants in.
All of these scenarios would of course be supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a sort of good cop-bad cop sketch. Europe is destabilized, the theory goes, but Putin's fingerprints are not directly on the mess.
CLASH AT POLAND-BELARUS BORDER STOKING INTERNATIONAL TENSIONS

But Novaya Gazeta, one of the last independent newspapers in Russia, had a different take this week illustrated by a cartoon on its cover depicting Lukashenko and Putin, in what at first glance appears to be a handshake but on closer inspection actually depicts one hand milking the other. Former collective pig farm boss Lukashenko is the one doing the milking.
"He effectively blackmails the Kremlin," Novaya Gazeta's deputy editor, Kirill Martynov, told Fox News. "In the sense that, if he goes, there will be a 'Maidan' [Ukrainian revolution that overthrew its last pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovich in 2014] and protests and Belarus will move toward the European Union and Russia will lose control of that part of Europe." Martynov added that he would actually call Lukashenko a "double blackmailer" because he is holding Europe hostage as well to a certain degree.
Novaya Gazeta's editor, Dmitry Muratov, won the Nobel Peace Prize for its bold and honest reporting under difficult circumstances and since then has been under pressure to defend those who are feeling the heat of the Kremlin's moves to label a large swath of the independent press corps as "foreign agents" and keep up intrepid and daring reporting themselves.
Martynov describes "the dance" between the Russian and Belarusian leaders.
"Sometimes Putin leads, sometimes Lukashenko leads, but Lukashenko has a more radical stance and is ready always to set down his conditions and entangle Moscow."

Thousands of migrants from the Middle East and other parts of the world have been flying to Minsk, the Belarussian capital, with the promise of easy passage onward to Europe, as the EU countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Poland all border Belarus. People smugglers, apparently in cahoots with some Belarussian border guards or others in an official capacity, maneuver these groups through the woods and up to the borders with the European Union. Lukashenko has denied he is luring people in for this reason. In all of this, Russia's foreign minister ultimately blames Western countries for creating the unstable conditions in faraway lands that make their citizens feel the need to leave.
The border crisis comes months after Belarus forced a flight from Greece to Lithuania to make an emergency landing on its soil, citing a bomb threat. When the plane landed in Minsk, a Belarussian dissident was plucked off and arrested. And that came months after widespread protests against Lukashenko's continued rule were brutally repressed. Putin has stood by his side through all of this.
Martynov said, "I think on the one hand, everyone in the Kremlin is fed up, frankly, with Lukashenko. They hate him. I think Putin personally hates him. And the way Lukashenko is behaving, I think it's obvious for everyone in the Kremlin he is not a reliable partner. But it's useful for the Kremlin in the sense that it makes Putin look a much more rational leader than Lukashenko. People want to talk to him. Macron spoke to him. Other leaders have spoken to him and asked him to pressure his partner and ally Alexander Grigorievich (Lukashenko). This psychopath friend is useful for Putin. It makes him look less dangerous and unpredictable."
According to Martynov, in much the same way that the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, those self-declared states which are effectively the frozen conflict zones of Eastern Ukraine, are cards to play, Russia could be holding a new one in its hands — a sort of "Minsk People's Republic."
Martynov said he cannot predict how this standoff will end, nor what the Russian troop buildup along the border with Ukraine really means. He got the gaming all wrong, he said, when Russia annexed Crimea.

"In 2014, I made many predictions about it being inconceivable that there would be a Russia-Ukrainian war and until now this is a painful moment from an intellectual point of view." But he adds, "I think unfortunately we are in a situation where there's a risk all of this could be left just hanging in the air, turning it into a hotspot on the European borders. It's a new situation and it will last a long time."
The headline on the cover of Novaya Gazeta is a twist on the title of Mikhail Lermontov's classic novel, "Hero of Our Time," which is about a cynical self-centered army officer. The newspaper anoints Lukashenko "Hero of Our Udder" or "Hero of Udder Time" in the depiction of him milking Putin's hand. A bit of dark Russian humor around a bleak situation.

What are the most expensive private colleges?
Top 10 most expensive private colleges cost an average of $59,131 in tuition and fees
By Daniella Genovese FOXBusiness
The cost of college continues to mount, leaving students in greater debt than ever before.
Over the last two decades alone, the average cost of private colleges within the United States has "increased dramatically." For the 2019-2020 academic year, there are 120 ranked private colleges charging above $50,000 just for tuition and fees, according to data obtained by U.S. News and World, released in September 2019.
The top 10 most expensive private colleges cost an average of $59,131 in tuition and fees, according to the data. This is a stark contrast to $10,541, which the average cost among the 10 least expensive private colleges. Both of those figures exclude the cost of room and board.
HOW MUCH COLLEGE COST WHEN YOU GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL
U.S. News and World compiled a list of the country's most expensive private institutions for the 2019-2020 academic school year from ranked schools that reported this data to the outlet in an annual survey.
Sitting atop the list is New York's Columbia University, which has a sticker price exceeding $61,000 in tuition and fees.
Here are the top five most expensive private colleges, as determined by U.S. News and World.
Tuition and fees: $61,850
Room and board: $14,490
The private institution is nestled within New York City on a campus spanning roughly 36 acres. Approximately 6,202 undergraduate students are enrolled. In total, there are more than 26,300 students.

 db.transaction((tx) => {
    tx.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Inspections( '

Frank DuRoss: Overcoming Startup Obstacles in Mohawk Valley
by Andrea Babinec
UVC Correspondent | Freelance Writer
in Stories
Frank DuRoss talks about his leadership role in Upstate New York's startup community, and how the businesses he's helped launch are driving the Mohawk Valley forward.
Frank DuRoss is a Utica, New York business legend with a knack for (profitable) reinvention. He has found success in fields as diverse as asbestos removal, commercial real estate, and media, among others. DuRoss is also the co-founder of the Utica Comets, an American Hockey League team that has helped revitalize Central New York. In 2015, DuRoss helped launch the thINCubator, a startup incubator in Utica.
Can you tell me about the thINCubator and what inspired you to start it?
Because of conversations that [president of Mohawk Valley Community College] Randy VanWagoner and I had with Martin Babinec, and a visit we made to Lorain County Community College outside of Cleveland, we saw what that community college was doing to build the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Cleveland area.
We felt that no one in Oneida, Herkimer or Madison counties were doing it [building an entrepreneurship ecosystem], so we decided we would attempt to start our own incubator/accelerator here in Utica to serve those counties.
What special challenges do Upstate New York startup founders face in trying to get their businesses up and running?
I think there's a myth that there is no help for these startup founders—whether it's financial, whether it's mentoring, whether it's just meeting people who believe in the same startup strategy. I think some entrepreneurs don't believe that [startup] culture exists in Oneida, Herkimer and Madison counties. We think that's a real impediment to startups, probably the number one impediment. We're trying to overcome that.
What do you think the success of the Utica Comets has done for the local area?
The Utica area needed something positive, something that people could rally behind. I think there are a lot of naysayers, and I think this was a small step to show that this community can be successful, that they can support something that's successful.
You have experience with many types of businesses—which industries do you think will help revitalize Utica's economy?
There's no doubt that the high-tech industry has the best paying jobs—the economic impact of a high-tech startup is much greater than a service industry type of startup. I think there is always going to be a need for the service industry—we need tourism to flourish in our community, there's assets that we have that we need to build upon—but I think the high-tech industry is going to give us the greatest bang for our buck.
What new projects are on your horizon for 2017?
We're working to expand what we're doing at the thINCubator. We are researching with various partners the possibility of doing a commercial kitchen/AgTech incubator—because of the big agricultural industry here in Oneida and Herkimer counties. We've had a lot of individuals come to us who have wanted to start some type of food business and we want to be able to help those individuals, as well as those in the high-tech field.
We're also working with the refugee community here to help them start businesses—more of artisan type businesses— we believe that they are a huge sector of the population that's underserved and we want to help them. We've had some early successes—small, but they are successes, so we think that's a great thing.
And we received a federal grant to work with Tech Transfer at the research lab at the Griffiss Institute—we are working with them to see if we can help turn patents that have expired into viable startup businesses.
How has UVC been able to help you?
They've been able to help us with mentorship—and we've received direction from Martin, Nasir, and others. They've been very willing to work with us in terms of when we've had meet-ups and other events.
The [UVC] community calendar that we are a part of lays out exactly what's going on throughout the year— so people know were they may want to go to start their business and meet people. So UVC has helped us. It's brought attention to the startup community here in Oneida and Herkimer counties.
Frank DuRoss is a member of the UNY50 Leadership Network, committed to helping founders create the next great companies in Upstate NY. He was a 2016 Venture Ecosystem award winner in the Community Catalyst category.

4 tips to write a terrific coding question

I'm glad you asked!

August 11th, 2015

Since I started Dev Bootcamp (i.e. 9 weeks ago), I researched coding problems dozens and dozens of times, I also posted 2 questions to my cohort. One was a silly question that my partner and myself wished we never asked, and a solid one that actually kept one of our guide from office hours busy for a while.
Researching and asking questions is an integral part of any developer's day-to-day, no matter their level of experience, developers are always in learning mode. Being able to ask effective questions is therefore critical. Here is what I've learned throughout the last 9 weeks:

#1 – Write out loud to a busy colleague

Your questions should be as clear as possible, the explanation of your problem must feature any useful detail starting with the most important elements. Do not bother with greetings or any content not related to your coding problem. The copy should feel like a conversation between you and a busy colleague: start by explaining what you're trying to accomplish, what you've tried so far and what you don't understand.
One important thing: write the title last, make sure you understand every detail and recap the problem with a fact-based and to-the-point title.

#2 – Make sure your spelling is perfect

Your readers likely have a short attention span and after all you are asking for a favor, you can't afford to post something with typos and grammar errors. Make sure to proof-read several times, ideally have someone read it for you.

#3 – Include your code

Almost all questions come up after writing some code, to be as specific as possible make sure to include it. Also include any error message that can help zero in on the problem. Do not feature your entire program, focus on the section that needs fixing instead. Posting everything would be a waste of time for your readers and you would reduce your chances of receiving feedback.

#4 – Respond immediately to feedback

Once you've posted your questions, make sure to come back to it regularly, every 5 to 10 minutes, and immediately respond to any feedback you get, be it a full-fledge answer or a request for more details. What matters here is to keep momentum and focus on your question. It will be in the headlines for a few hours at the most, make them count!

I hope this short post will help you get better results for your next post. Good luck and happy coding!

Milled, freeze dried leaf of the Backhousia citriodora species, a native Australian tree also known as Lemon Scented Myrtle, Sweet Verbena Tree, Sweet Verbena Myrtle, Lemon Scented Verbena, and Lemon Scented Iron-wood. Lemon Myrtle is a medium sized native tree originating from the coastal rainforest areas of Queensland, and now growing in the beautiful pristine region of northern New South Wales.
Lemon Myrtle is one of the most cultivated and commercially mature species in the native food industry and shows wonderful potential as a specialist food ingredient, functional food and cosmetic ingredient. The leaves contain the highest amount of citral [>90%] of any plant known in the world, leading to a common description that it is 'lemonier than lemon'.
High in antioxidants, Vitamin E, Calcium, Zinc and Magnesium. it also has anti-microbial and antifungal properties.
Recently receiving high demand from Asia Pacific regions.
Social responsibility and fair trade is practiced.
it can be used as a substitute to lemon grass in cooking, and is particularly popular as a flavour enhancer in curries and pastas.
Particle size, free flowing herb.
The leaf of the Backhousia citriodora contains a complex range of primary compounds and antioxidants that is responsible for the distinct, lemon, lime and lemon grass odour and free flowing herb green colour.
Freeze-drying by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase to the gas phase.

A pipe cracking effort
Australian trenchless expert Harris Civil has completed a challenging pipe renewal project on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria, relying on the power and dependability of a TRACTO-TECHNIK Goliath machine.
Yarraville is located on the western fringes of Melbourne's bustling metropolis. Under the administration of the local municipality the City of Maribyrnong, the suburb features a chequered streetscape, with detached houses, garden beds and rows of trees. Local residents frequent parks and recreation areas, with sports grounds, playing fields, animal recreation areas and adventure playgrounds, regularly used by residents.
On Benbow St, which runs east to west on the outskirts of Yarraville, close to the McIvor nature reserve, a sewer was discovered to have reached the end of its service life. A 99 m stretch of ND750 ferroconcrete pipes, which had previously been rehabilitated with a glass-fibre reinforced plastic liner (GFRP), had to be replaced.
It soon became clear that trenchless pipe bursting was the only viable and economical solution for all parties involved.
The decision was made to replace the old pipe with a new PE pipe, sized ND800, in the existing path, without using any open cut trenching along the almost 100 m long section. Harris Civil, who specialises in Trenchless Technology applications, were awarded the contract to renew the sewer by the local water utility City West Water. The replacement project posed several challenges, including:
its proximity to a highly sensitive nature reserve, in the middle of a residential area
an open rainwater drainage system running parallel to the sewer
the position of the old pipes, at a depth of 4-5 m
the 800 mm diameter of the new polyethylene (PE) pipe (the old diameter ferroconcrete pipe had a smaller diameter of 750 mm).
Meeting these challenges required far-sighted planning and preparation.
The pipe was delivered in 12 m lengths and welded together to form a string for the pipe bursting installation, which was to be performed by plastic pipe specialist GEM Industrial Services, using a butt welding technique.
On the completion of the welding works, the launch and exit shafts were excavated and the flow control system for the existing sewer was initiated by establishing a bypass, operated by two fully silenced 150 mm pumps. An inspection of the ground where the existing pipe laid showed that it was bedded on sand and rubble, which meant the soil was left undisturbed during the installation.
Due to the large diameter of the new pipelines, the project team decided to use a TRACO-TECHNIK-manufactured GRUNDORAM Goliath pipe ramming machine as a pipe cracker, and a Bagela winch for pipe pulling.
The old ferroconcrete pipe with GRP liner was burst using the GRUNDORAM Goliath.
The GRUNDORAM Goliath is traditionally used for the installation of steel pipes over lengths of 80 m, under roads, waterways, railway tracks and parks. It is equipped with technology that provides thrust forces up to 40,000 Nm, which enables the installation of open end steel pipes, up to 4,000 mm diameter, in soil classes from one to five, without the need for jacking abutments.
For this particular application, the machine was also pre-stressed by a winch with a maximum pulling force of 200 kN, which guaranteed safe guidance in the old bore path and the optimal leading-in of impact for bursting and expanding the old line.
Temperatures on-site, which climbed as high as 38°C, aided the progress of the job, increasing the flexibility of the prepared PE pipe string, which made pulling the pipe into the existing bore path considerably easier. The TRACTO-TECHNIK machine managed the task without issue, and after less than three hours, the pipe renewal had been completed and the line's capacity raised from ND750 to ND800.
However, the project was not without its difficulties. The GFRP hose liner used in a previous rehabilitation project was not laying close enough to the existing pipe wall, and as a result it was displaced during the process of cracking. The issue required several stops to remove the liner pieces from the exit shaft, slowing down project progress.
As well as the pipe renewal, the connections to the manholes lying in front and behind the new line also had to be re-established. Two 800 mm PE couplings were installed using a heating coil welding technique. A CCTV inspection of the pipeline was necessary to make sure that the new pipe was in the correct location and in perfect condition.
According to Harris Civil, this was the first time that an Australian project used pipe bursting to complete a pipe renewal for a line with a diameter of ND800. The infrastructure owner, City West Water, was so impressed with the benefits of the Trenchless Technology and the final results of the project, that it immediately invited tenders for the renewal of an additional 79 m section of sewer connected to the replaced line.

Q: Logarithmic operation on pandas dataframe-Key value error I have a data frame as shown below.it's name is 'df_thd_funct' .I need to apply logarithmic equation on xvalue columns and need to create a new column.Below is my code.
df_thd_funct['sensi'] = 20*(np.log(df_thd_funct.xvalues/1.44))

xvalues SFM_376_1.62_-40
0.0189     0.0190
0.0200     0.0187
0.0225     0.0167
0.0239     0.0191

The error I am getting is given below. What am I missing?

My complete code is given below.
df_thd_funct = pd.read_csv("A2_THD_Ratio_Stepped_Sweep_Corners_PVT_lab01.txt",delim_whitespace=True,index_col=False)
df_thd_funct.set_index('xvalues', inplace=True)
check_for_nan = df_thd_funct.isnull().values.any()
df_thd_funct = df_thd_funct.T
print (check_for_nan)
df_thd_funct.head()

After running df_thd_funct['sensi'] = df_thd_funct['xvalues'].apply(lambda x: 20*(np.log(x/1.44)))
The new error obtained is given below.

A: You can't give np.log a pd.Series as argument, you have to use lambda function:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'xvalues':[0.0189,0.0200,0.0225,0.0239]})

df['sensi'] = df['xvalues'].apply(lambda x: 20*(np.log(x/1.44)))

Output:
   xvalues      sensi
0   0.0189 -86.664729
1   0.0200 -85.533322
2   0.0225 -83.177662
3   0.0239 -81.970399

Городо́к () — город во Львовском районе Львовской области Украины. Административный центр Городокской общины.

История
Город был основан в период Киевской Руси. Интенсивно развивался во времена Галицко-Волынского княжества (XI—XIV века) Уже в начале XIII века Городок играл большую роль в экономической и политической жизни Галицко-Волынского княжества. Река Верещица, которая впадает в Днестр, была в те времена полноводной и судоходной.

Городок лежал на важном торговом пути. К тому времени город имел огромное хозяйственное значение, как важный центр торговли солью, поэтому современники называли его «Городок Соляной». Галицко-Волынская летопись зафиксировала, что в 1227 году новгородский князь Мстислав Удатный стоял со своим войском в Городке. Ему на помощь пришёл со своим войском князь Даниил, чтобы вместе защищать Галицкое княжество от польско-венгерского нашествия. После завоевания Галиции Польским княжеством в XIV ст., уже 1387 году Городок, как отдельный королевский город, вошёл в состав Львовской земли, а позднее стал центром Городецкого староства. За период 1387 по 1434 год великий князь литовский и король Польши Владислав II Ягайло часто бывал в Городке, здесь и умер в 1434 году. При Ягайло Городок входит в состав Русского воеводства, как отдельный королевский город. В 1389 году он получил магдебургское право, предоставление которого означало создания в городе органов самоуправления. К тому времени Городок разрастался, кроме центральной части и рынка появятся пригороды — Львовский и Черлянский. В XV и в начале XVI века город испытал настолько сильных разрушений и грабежей от крымских татар, после этого город смог стать на ноги лишь к XVI веку. Постепенно в городе возрождаются и развиваются торговля и промыслы. Городок получил право торговать солью и снова стал центром добычи соли. Важным предметом экспорта была рыба, которую с давних пор разводили и ловили в местных прудах.

В ΧΙV-ΧVΙΙ веках Городок был ремесленным городом. Ремесленники были объединены в 12 цехов. Хорошо развивались деревообрабатывающие и кожевенные промыслы. В 1555 году русины могли заниматься ремесленничеством лишь на расстоянии мили от города.

В 1420 году король Ягайло поселил в городе 6 католических монахов из ордена францисканцев. Королевское правительство построило для них костёл и монастырь возле замка. Православных русинов вытеснили на Львовское, Вишнянское, Заставское предместья. Поэтому, отстаивая свои права, православное население Городка создало в 1591 году братство — общественную организацию русинских мещан, которое выступало против национального гнета. Влияние городоцкого братства выросло до того, что киевский митрополит Михаил Рогоза в 1593 году пригласил его членов к участию в Соборе.

Во второй половине ΧVΙΙ—ΧVΙΙΙ веков город пришёл в упадок. В его околицах в 1655 году произошла битва под Городком между русскими и польскими войсками. Большой вред нанесло Городку нашествие турецких войск. В 1672 году турецкий паша Омер-али захватил город и разрушил его.

ΧVΙΙΙ веке город отстроили. Королевский замок выполнял административные функции Городоцкого староства. Было построено поместье и две корчмы. Во 2-й половине ΧVΙΙ века городское правительство повысило таможенные повинности, чем привело к упадку торговли в городе.

После захвата Галиции Австро-Венгрией все имения Городоцкого староства и сам Городок перешли в собственность государства. Но австрийское правительство продало все сёла польским и немецким колонистам. На землях Городоцкого староства немецкие колонисты в 1786 году образовали колонию Фордерберг.

В 1867 году Городок стал уездным центром, где до 1918 года работали уездный суд, налоговое управление, школьный окружной совет. Город не имел больших предприятий. На этот период там действовали гарбарня, мельница, мыловарня, 3 маслодельни, фабрики соды и сельскохозяйственных удобрений и вапнярка.

Во время Первой мировой войны в 1914 году на околицах Городка состоялась известная в истории Городоцкая битва — встречное сражение между русскими войсками Юго-Западного фронта и австро-венгерскими войсками Восточного фронта во время Первой мировой войны, которое являлось составной частью Галицийской битвы 1914 года. Завершилось победой русских войск.

Нападение на почту в Городке
30 ноября 1932 боёвка ОУН осуществила нападение на польскую почту в городе Городок.

Участие в акции приняло 12 боевиков ОУН из разных мест: Юрий Березинский — руководитель группы, а также Дмитрий Данилишин, Василий Билас, Мариян Жураковский, Петр Максимцев, Степан Долинский, Степан Куспись, Степан Мащак, Владимир Старик, Григорий Файда, Степан Цап и Григорий Купецкий.

В среду 30 ноября боевики ровно в 16:55 с двух разных сторон улицы приблизились к дому почты и вошли в неё, натянув на лицо маски. Нападающие разбились на четыре группы: одна вошла в помещение почты, другая имела своей целью исключительно кассу, третья группа блокировала телефонные аппараты, четвёртая осталась в коридоре для прикрытия.

Но нападение сложилось неудачно. Неожиданностью для боевиков стало то, что все почтовые служащие, бывшие воины легиона Пилсудского, вопреки инструкциям имели при себе револьверы. Только боевики зашли в зал и предложили всем поднять руки вверх, на них посыпались выстрелы, а дверь кассы закрылась. По другим данным, первым стрелять начал именно Юрий Березинский, который контролировал пять работников почты. Не тратя времени, Дмитрий Данилишин выстрелил несколько раз в дверь кассы, выбил окно, через которое выдавались деньги, а Василий Билас через это окно проник в кассу и забрал деньги. После этого Василий Билас и Дмитрий Данилишин немедленно выбежали из дома, дав назначенный знак боевикам, что следует отступать.

Но и здесь все сложилось не так, как ожидалось. Когда боевики выбегали из почты, в них стали стрелять из домов, расположенных у почтового дома. Поэтому пришлось отбиваться и на улице.

Юрий-Мирослав Березинский получил очень серьёзное ранение во время перестрелки и упал, только выбежав на улицу. Чтобы не попасть живым в руки врага застрелился.

Погиб и Владимир Старик, которого убили выстрелами из домов на улице. Боевики Степан Куспись, Дмитрий Данилишин, Мариян Жураковский, Степан Мащак и Григорий Купецкий получили ранения в руки и ноги.
