Q: Type Error when operating multi-frame tiff in PIL I'm running a program which should take a multi-frame tiff file (black and white animation), scan through all of the frames and determine their mean pixel values, effectively allowing me to plot Z-axis profile. Program works for single frame tiffs however I keep running into the Type Error every time I try to run in with the animation.
im = Image.open('example_recording5.tif')
width,height = im.size
image_lookup = 0
n = 1
while True:
     try:
        im.seek(n)
        n = n+1
    except EOFError:
        print "End of sequence",  n
        break;
#this sets a length argument (n) and allows to determine no of frames

    c = c+1
    print c, mean_pixel_value

The error which shows up is as follows and as far as I understand, it is caused by indexing with the frames in ImageSeq; what could I do to prevent it?

International Seminar on Social Movements
Posted on December 15, 2016 by abuaro01
In this post, Mercè Cortina-Oriol reports back the seminar on Social Movements organised by the University of Girona and Fundación Betiko.
The past 24t h and 25th of November took place in Girona (Catalonia) the 1st International Seminar on Social Movements co-organized by the Area of Political Science of the University of Girona and the Betiko Foundation.
The aim of the seminar was to address the fields of social movements and collective action in the current political, social and economic context. More specifically, the framing question of the seminar was to what extent the economic and political changes of recent times, mainly -but not only- in Europe, are giving rise to new forms of collective action and social movements whose contents, identities, and resources differ from those the previous, conventional ones.
The seminar was an outstanding opportunity to congregate academics such as Bob Jessop, Jonathan Davies, Donatella Della Porta, Salvador Martí and Joan Subirats among others; political and institutional actors coming from the background of the social movements such as Miguel Urbán (Member of the European Parliament for Podemos), Xulio Ferreiro (City Mayor of A Coruña), Nacho Murgui (Deputy Mayor of Madrid City Council), Jordi Bonet (responsible for communication at Barcelona City Council), and Ricard Vilaregut (Chief Executive from Badalona City Council) among others; and activist from different European countries. The event was structured through four different sessions, each of them aiming to reflect on a particular topic: the challenges of social movements in a new era; mobilisation in the global world; from protest to institutions; and, the activist in power: has anything changed?
The seminar posited relevant questions and inspiring answers and examples around the new processes of mobilisation and the challenges for both the social movements and the new political organisations that emerged from them. Along two days, the debates brought up consistent questions with the research agenda of the Centre for Urban Research on Austerity (CURA) such as the processes of emergence of new expressions of resistance, the conditions for their emergence or for their absence, the forms that these new expressions adopt, the limits or capabilities of local governments to face the political and economic order and the imposed austerity policies, the possibilities for the development of alternatives to crisis and austerity from the local sphere, and the challenges for democracy in a context of crisis. The organisers we will soon compile and publish the interventions of the seminar. Nevertheless, and despite the relevance of all the debates, in this post I will summarise briefly those more connected with CURA's research interests.
One of the central sessions in the seminar focused on the structural conditions for social movements and other forms of response and resistance in the new era. Professor Bob Jessop, from Lancaster University, opened the debate. In his intervention, he contemplated the threats to democracy that the current crisis brought along and contextualised the challenges of current social movements. Throughout his presentation, he stressed the need for a better understanding of the relation between the State and the capital, and the analytical opportunity that the comprehension of the State as a social relation opens for it.
In the discussion, Mercè Cortina-Oriol, from the University of the Basque Country and CURA fellow, stressed the need for examining the implication of the social in the processes of neoliberalisation and the risks of assuming the disruptive character of the social. After Cortina-Oriol, Professor Jonathan Davies, from the De Montfort University and Director of CURA, focused on the role and the capacities of both the local government and the social to respond to the challenges that austerity policies bring along. He underlined the disjuncture between normality and crisis, and the problem of assuming austerity as part of the normality. From a more theoretical approach, Carlos Prieto, from the MNCARS, defended the need for the emergence of a new political subject. Throughout his intervention, he questioned the class compromise as a transformative articulating element. For his part, Marco Aparicio, from the University of Girona, talked about the complexity of the power structures and the progressive hollowing out of the traditional spaces of decision-making. He also stressed the relevance of the discursive dimension in the processes of mobilisation, and the importance of defending social, political and economic rights.
A second debate focused on the new forms of resistance and their challenges. Donatella Della Porta, from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Firenze, opened the debate. The discussion revolved around the new processes of mobilisation since the economic crash in 2008. Della Porta presented the results of her recent research on the new cycle of mobilisation in the context of austerity, expressing the need for rethinking the social movements in times of crisis. In a context of diminished confidence in the institutions and an increased sense of grievances, she identifies new processes of identity formation and new forms of mobilisation. Comparing these with previous cycles, she observes forms of collective action that are more open and plural, where individual citizens have more space and chances to participate, and where consensus gains prominence over the logic of the delegation.
Some of the points highlighted in this regard were the tragedy that supposes the fact that critical networks often go behind those that defend the status quo, and the performative dimension of the responses to the austerity as a way of generating alternatives. This last question, addressed by Leandro Minuchin, from the University of Manchester, posit the potentialities of self-managed initiatives and solidarity networks in action for the provision of services in a context of austerity and social emergency from a communitarian basis.
Another point in this regard was the need for stressing the links among social movements, social initiatives, citizens and new alternative governments. This idea was closely related to a third central debate: the challenges for the new local governments for building alternatives to austerity. Joan Subirats framed this discussion focusing his analysis on the impact achieved by emerging parties, evaluating the case of the Barcelona City Council. He underlined the challenges of new formations such as Barcelona en Comú, a formation that, coming from a process of mobilisation, managed to win the municipal elections in 2015. Subirats highlighted the need to strengthen the sovereignties of proximity and the ability to promote popular construction from the commons, without falling into processes of systematic re-municipalisation. Instead, he advocated for searching different possible options that range from the traditional public service to the idea of co-production to ensure the universal delivery of quality services.
Adding to the third debate, the interventions by new institutional representatives bringing out the contradictions when passing from the street to the Mayor's Office, the limitations of the institutional strategy, and the difficulties that entail the relationship with other levels of the State Administration. Other questions were related to the need to settle the political decision processes with what we could call a new type of civil servants and the need to train new officers while coexisting with the previous ones. For his part, Ricard Vilaregut brought up the limits that these new governments have at the time of breaking with the inherit clientelistic relationship that the previous governments had with some social organisations and private entities. Finally, Ismael Blanco, from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, insisted on the need for these new formations to carry out flagship policies in order to give direction and symbolic power to these new local governments.
The seminar provided an open space for actors from different background to share their experiences and perspectives, and proved the need for a common space of reflexion to move forward in the field of the alternative ways of governance under austerity.
Dr Mercè Cortina-Oriol is postdoctoral researcher of the Basque Government and CURA fellow. Form January 2017 she will be an Early Career Academic Fellow in the Department of Politics and Public Policy at the DMU.

About T-1 Print
Ink Room
Big Event Prints 2020
Well, we are into the third month of 2020 and T-1Print is firing on all cylinders. The Alice Cooper and Scorpions 2020 tours kicked off mid February and we printed the t-shirts for both events. Across the two tours there were a total of eleven designs many of which were made up of more than 8 colours. Time critical work of this nature tests production capacity and also provides the opportunity for refinement and adjustment when needed. T-1Print's team are adaptive and efficient so we take our hats off to their great efforts during our busy times. T-1Print is honoured to have collaborated with Aisle6ix Industries and Australian Artist Scott Marsh to offer our services in printing nearly 3000 Merry Crisis t-shirts with the proceeds of each t-shirt sale donated to regional firefighting depots who battled the fires. Due to the media attention both local and international, many of us are now aware of the 'Merry Crisis' mural depicting our current Prime Minister Scott Morrison enjoying a cocktail on holidays in Hawaii while Australian's experienced some of the worst bushfires in history. The bushfires this Summer have had a devastating impact on many Australians and the environment. When the artist himself realised the extend to which the 'Merry Crisis' mural resonated with Australians, he decided to print the image onto t-shirts and other items and donate the sale proceeds to the firefighters who battled the bushfires. Approximately $200,000 was raised from the T-Shirt sales and kudos to the artist himself Scott Marsh who travelled into the affected communities to deliver much needed support and essential supplies. Having Scott onsite while we printed the first batch of shirts was a great feeling. As soon as Scott signed off on the first print it was straight into high speed production. The t-shirts were printed four colour process and with T-1Print's capacity we were able to turn the prints around in one eight hour shift.
Flexible Production Setup
T-1Print's production setup is flexible and responsive which means producing small and large volumes of printed garments can be accomodated. We are lucky to have a great team of people onboard. We think T-1Print's production manager Kim, regularly sets a new Guinness World Record when she enters the screen room producing an incredible number of screens on our i-Image direct to screen device on a daily basis. Nick holds the fort in the art department and delivers the artwork separations with accuracy and efficiency while Head Printer Glenn and his team of printers and assistants works his magic on the production floor. We also thank our clients who during certain busy periods offer flexibility with timeframes. T-1Print is looking forward to a solid year ahead and will continue to provide the great service to our clients.

If you're in need of some advice when it comes to replacing your boiler you've come to the right place. There are different types of new boiler pay monthly deals and you'll have to find the one that's suitable for you.
Arranging for finance for a new boiler might seem a little weird to you – we're all used to having finance when it comes to buying cars, gadgets, and homes – but it really needn't be. Boilers on finance are quite common and we can offer our customers very good deals – subject to status of course.
More and more people are buying boilers on finance. A large proportion of the cost of a new boiler replacement is made up of labour costs, but even those costs can be paid for on finance – it really is a viable option. Our figures suggest that more than 60% of new boilers are paid for using finance and deferred payment options.
Replacing a boiler is a risk-free home improvement and a lot of lenders are happy to make the funds available to pay for the cost. If your credit rating is good, you can expect monthly payments as low as £7.23 p/m.
To give you rough idea what you could expect to pay we will run through an example and then show the different payment plans in a table below. Let's consider a boiler installation cost of £2,156. Now let's assume the customer is able to pay a deposit of £1,156 and therefore requires finance of £1,000.
We need to first work out the monthly payments and most importantly what the total amount paid at the end of the term will be. When taking on boiler finance, it is vital to know what the total amount repayable will be so you can work out how much interest you've been charged. Be careful here as paying too much interest can eat away at potential savings a new A-rated boiler can provide for years to come.
OK, so let's take a look at 3 examples below. We've picked a 3-year finance deal and a 10-year boiler finance deal. We also look at the 0% buy now pay later option.
What does APR annual percentage rate mean when buying a boiler on finance?
All of the above boiler finance deals mention an APR which is a percentage figure that can range from a few percent for long-term secured loans to much higher percentages for unsecured short-term loans. Whenever you see APR mentioned it just means the annual percentage of your loan.
It calculates how much it costs you to borrow money. If you see financial products offered, they legally need to make it clear what the APR is and also a comparable metric to help enable a consumer to make a wise financial decision.
An APR can depend upon a number of factors such as a lenders fee, length of a loan, and the credit rating of the consumer. APR is meant to aid decision making but in reality, it sometimes leads to confusion.
Without a doubt, a bad credit history will have a negative impact on your ability to get a new boiler on finance. Read our guide: Can I pay monthly for a new boiler with a bad credit history?

Costantinopoli104 is not a hotel, we love to call it charming refuge, a corner of peace and quiet in the heart of Naples. Via Constantinopoli is the street of the antiquarians and restorers. The villa, on two floors with a terrace, was the property of the MarcheseSpinelli, who had it built on a site of a huge monastic complex. The piperno stone entrance of the garden, the crests of the Marchese on the facade and the marblework balustrades are still t a testimony of the antique splendour of the house. A beautiful stained-glass window to lead Art Nouveau resplendent with its beautiful colors welcoming in this charming home that preserves in every room and in every environment authentic "pieces of history" with marbles, decorations and ornaments of the past.
This is a characteristic location, as it was built in the centre of an ancient medieval hamlet, called the "Badia" due to the presence of its thousand-year-old Benedictine Abbey visited by tourists coming from all four corners of the World.
This is a unique location, for those who love to breathe the typical atmosphere of Historical Residences without having to forego modern, functional environments.
The Hotel Residence is situated in a beautiful seafront location in Amalfi. It was an aristocratic palace of the eighteenth century.
Converted into a hotel in the 50s and completely renovated in 2010, it has 27 different rooms that offer splendid views of the sea or on the famous Piazza Duomo with its Cathedral dedicated to the Apostle Andrew.
The elegant and historic medieval structure known as the Arsenali della Repubblica, which bear witness to the maritime power the Amalfi Republic wielded in its heyday, is just a short walk from the hotel.
We discover together with the local art guide Roberto this unique city, its culture and traditions walking in the historic centre, called an "open-air museum" because of the huge quantity of churches and historic buildings.
But Naples is also an "open-air theatre" because people use to spend mostly of their time outdoor, side by side with the others as a great community, chatting, discussing, playing and eating.
Our visit is focused on the Neapolitan lifestyle, to better understand the soul of this unforgettable place. At dinner we experience the real Neapolitan pizza in one of the oldest pizzeria of Naples. The "margherita" and the "marinara" are considered the original pizza: tomatoes sauce, basil, mozzarella, olive oil… simple but absolutely tasty!
Today we walk on one of the most famous and still active volcano of the world: the Vesuvius. We go back with the imagination to the eruption that destroyed Pompeii in 79bC.
We learn about the events happened through the memories of Plinio the young, the first documentary of the history.
From the top of the volcano (1282mt) we can look into the crater, we can see the Fumaroles, sign of the activity as well as a great view of the bay of Naples.
At lunch we go and visit a wine factory producing the so-called "Lacryma Christi" wine and we taste organic food specific of the Vesuvius area, we then carry on to Pompeii and, with an archaeological guide we visit the ruins of the old roman city, the Forum, the bath, the market, the theatre and the Amphitheatre.
We then reach the hamlet of Corpo di Cava on the Amalfi coast with our private van.
We start the day with a visit of the Abbey of the Benedictine fathers dating back to 1011, with sculptures of Tino di Camaino (14thcentury) and the Longobard Cemetery (12th century). We then start our walk to reach the villages of Raito and Albori, listed as part of the most beautiful hamlet of Italy. On the way we have great views of the coast and the bay of Salerno.
A nice walk along the vineyards and the white homes of Raito leads us to Vetri sul Mare, the "village of the ceramics". Here we visit a small factory and we learn about the making and decoration of ceramics. You will work hands-on on your own piece followed by your ceramic instructor. At the end of the lesson you will be able to take your "masterpiece" back home. Cool, isn't it?
In the afternoon we take time to relax in the garden of the hotel.
Dinner tonight is served at our hotel where we have an exclusive exhibition made for us, a dancer and a musician will perform the typical local music and dance, the so-called tammurriata. It's an intriguing and enchanting mix of gestures and words with a special meaning related to the Neapolitan culture. You will love it!
We take a private van to reach the heart of the coast, the town of Amalfi where we settle in a marvellous hotel in front of the sea.
On the way we stop in Ravello, that in the medieval ages was the town of the richest families of Amalfi.
This is the reason why there are so many villas. We visit two of the most sumptuous villas: Villa Cimbrone, its beautiful gardens and the "Infinity terrace" facing the sea from the height of 400 meters; Villa Rufolo, the place where Wagner composed its Parsifal; we visit also the Cathedral with its mosaic of "Giona and the whale", sigh of the Moorish influence.
We have a light lunch on a terrace overlooking the sea, once again a nice spot. We then walk back to Amalfi by an old connecting path passing through the tiny village of Atrani, looking as a nativity scene.
The afternoon is free to discover on your own the town, its cathedral, the tiny alleys, do some shopping, have a drink in the main square, enjoy the special atmosphere.
Dinner tonight is very special; we take a private boat that brings us in a restaurant on a private beach. We come back by boat with the view by night of the coast.
Today we have prepared for you a great off-the-beaten-path day. We walk the "lemon path" between the two villages Minori and Maiori, along lemon terraces with spectacular views of the cost. In Minori we visit the Maritime Roman villa and taste the pastry of the famous chef Sal De Riso. We then venture to the small town of Tramonti. There we have a very relaxed time: walking in vineyards, talking to owners of small farms. The name of this town literally means in between the mountains; the area is well known for producing wine and mozzarella cheese.
We then reach a farm close by where we learn how to make mozzarella cheese and we have a lunch in their vineyard.
By mid-afternoon we will be back with a van to our hotel and the day as a group is over. So you might want to pay a visit to Positano, taking a boat on your own (boat ride is 30 minutes). If you want to stay in Positano for dinner you can take a later bus back or a taxi.
(Capri optional excursion) In case you are not really feeling for an off-the-beaten-path day you can swap this excursion with the more on-beaten-path island of Capri. We will be happy to cover the cost of the boat that will take you to Capri (1 hour boat each ride). You will be on your own to the island. No worry. You cannot get lost. Your guide will give you all the information on places to visit, what to eat and what to do. You then take the boat back to Amalfi and meet the group for dinner (on your own). Please notice that if you are going to Capri for the day you don't have time enough to go also to Positano.
Today we walk in the Mill's valley, along the river Canneto and the ruins of the paper mill's where once in the 13th/14th centuries the special paper of Amalfi was produced.
We walk up to a reserve, a protected area, where we have 2 spectacular waterfalls and a pre-historic fern grows, the Woodwardia radicans.
We walk in a chestnut forest; the scenery is calm and the atmosphere very relaxing.
On our way we reach a family farm where we learn how to make an Italian dish (pasta or parmigiana). We then enjoy our lunch on a terrace looking at the valley on the lemon terrace.
After lunch we go on to Amalfi where we visit the paper museum, once a factory, where a guide will show us the process to make paper using linen and cotton, the old machinery and the channel water system.
Coming back to Amalfi you have free time for shopping before enjoying a great farewell aperitivo with the group on a terrace facing the sea. Then, if you want you can continue having dinner or just enjoy the atmosphere of Amalfi for the last evening here.
Rosa guides our Amalfi Coast trip. She is an official guide of the "Monti Lattari" Regional park and of the Vesuvius National Park. Rosa started walking on this paths since she was 12 years old.
She has a great passion about dancing and all the local traditions. Rosa and a some friends are part of a dancing traditional group.
Roberto guides our Amalfi Coast trip. He is an archaeologist and an authorized guide of Campania Region. He's going to offer his knowledge in the art-historical and archaeological field for anyone who wants to understand and investigate the incredible richness of Campania Region.
He collaborates with Slow Food (an international movement that strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem) and so he can also show you the authentic pleasures of wine and traditional food.

#Tripoli Volunteers Take The #TrashChallenge but What's Next?
Unlike other useless challenges, the internet's newest trend the "Trash Tag Challenge" is encouraging people to protest the environment by cleaning up a place where trash has accumulated, then taking another picture of the spot to immortalize it with a before/after post.
That's what a group of volunteers in Tripoli along with a couple of municipal members have done by cleaning up an area that was recently acquired by the Municipality. After a long day of cleaning, they were able to collect over 700 Kilos of plastic that were sent for recycling.
The source says that the municipality aims to to turn the area into a public garden but I think the municipality should seriously consider educating the locals and forbidding them from throwing their garbage in public spaces. Looking at the pictures, they've been using a green space as a dump site, which is horrendous!
Nevertheless, this is a great initiative that will hopefully result in a much-needed green area for the city.

South Dakota Governor (White Freemason, Zionist) Signs Anti-BDS Executive Order
http://www.renegadetribune.com/south-dakota-governor-signs-anti-bds-executive-order/
(MEMO) The Republican governor of South Dakota signed an executive order on Tuesday prohibiting state offices from conducting business with companies boycotting Israel.
The recent move made by Republican, Kristi Noem, has made South Dakota the 28th state to have adopted the anti-BDS law.
"Israel is one of our nation's closest allies, and their success is critical to American national security," Noem announced in a statement. "Today, we reaffirm that South Dakota stands with Israel and will only contract with businesses who agree to fairly compete. Our state will not stand for any discrimination based on race or religion."
The executive order requires vendors seeking contracts with state agencies, authorities, commissions, departments or institutions of the State of South Dakota not to engage with companies that participate in boycotts of Israel.
It also applies to companies or contractors with more than five employees, and on contracts of $100,000 or more, according to the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz.
Noem signed the order in the capitol in Pierre an hour before her State of the State address, which marked the beginning of the state legislature's 2020 session.
During the 2019 legislative session, the South Dakota House of Representatives, with the Senate concurring, passed House Concurrent Resolution 1005 that declared opposition to and condemned the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. It declared that BDS: "is one of the main vehicles for spreading anti-Semitism."
Other states that have enacted similar measures include: Alabama, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and before Tuesday, Kentucky.
The far-right Israel lobby organisation, StandWithUs, praised the executive order, while CEO Roz Rothstein similarly announced in a statement: "When states stand up against anti-Israel bias and discrimination, it benefits the state's economy, joint research projects with Israel in agriculture, science and environment, and says a firm 'NO' to the BDS movement, which encourages anti-Semitism and discourages a peaceful negotiated solution between Israel and its neighbours."

According to Google a 'Happy White Woman' Has a Black Man
http://www.renegadetribune.com/according-to-google-a-happy-white-woman-has-a-black-man/ Google is run by jewish supremacists who are doing everything in their power to further the White genocide agenda. For a while people have been showing how doing a Google image search for terms related to White people brings back some telling results. For example, if you search for "White history" you will see a bunch of images of Black people and the history of slavery, as if all of White history is about the enslavement of Blacks. Recently I saw that Googling "happy White woman" also yielded some disturbing results. As you can see in the tweet above, this is not organic and data-driven, since DuckDuckGo is easily able to pull up relevant images of happy White women. This is an editorial decision on the part of Google to show White women with dark men. Try for yourself. Here is what I got. As you can see, there are now some image results that are actually screenshots of people searching "happy Whit
How German Women Suffered Largest Mass Rape in History by Soviets
https://dailyarchives.org/index.php/history/1939-how-german-women-suffered-largest-mass-rape-in-history-by-soviets Between the months of April and May, the German capital Berlin saw more than 100,000 rape cases according to hospital reports, while East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia saw more than 1.4 million rape cases. Between the months of January and August of 1945, Germany saw the largest incident of mass rape known in history, where an estimated two million German women were raped by the Soviet Red Army soldiers, as written by Walter Zapotoczny Jr. in his book, 'Beyond Duty: The Reason Some Soldiers Commit Atrocities'. Hospital reports also stated that abortion operations were being carried out daily across all German hospitals. Natalya Gesse, who was a Soviet war correspondent at the time, said that the Soviets didn't care about the ages of their victims. "The Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to eighty. It was an army o

Senators Urge Executive Action to Limit Anonymous Campaign Contributions
Wyden, Whitehouse Lead Call to Bring Greater Transparency to Political Spending
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., were joined by 27 other senators today in urging the president limit anonymous political spending in elections by requiring new transparency for previously secret campaign contributions.
In a letter to President Barack Obama, the senators called on the president to issue a final Executive Order to require federal contractors to disclose their political donations before submitting bids for government work. The administration released a draft Executive Order five years ago, but has not finalized it.
"Citizens and voters of all political stripes realize that shadowy groups are anonymously collecting and spending vast sums on political advertisements and threatening our democracy," the senators wrote in the letter.
"This type of disclosure is a modest step that would expose an especially troubling type of secret money: campaign contributions that have the potential to influence government contracting practices," they also wrote. "As corporations spend more money on politics, it is vital to the integrity of the federal contracting system for the public to be able to see that their tax dollars are being allocated by merit and not to those seeking to engage in "pay to play" practices."
The senators sent the letter after congressional leaders included a provision in the end-of-year spending bill that blocks the Internal Revenue Service from issuing new rules to reign in anonymous campaign contributions. That law also prohibits the Securities and Exchange Commission from finalizing a regulation that would require public corporations to disclose their political donations.
Both Wyden and Whitehouse have long championed efforts to bring more transparency to political spending. In 2002, Wyden wrote the "Stand By Your Ad" law that was included in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act that requires leaders of corporations, unions and other organizations to identify that they are behind political ads. Whitehouse is the lead sponsor of the DISCLOSE Act, which would require political groups to list publicly their spending and large donors, and previously authored two similar letters to the Obama Administration requesting an executive order.
The letter was also signed by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Jack Reed, D-R.I., Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Jon Tester, D-Mont., Tom Udall, D-N.M., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Al Franken, D-Minn., Christopher Coons, D-Del., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Gary Peters, D-Mich., Edward J., Markey, D-Mass.

Box office: Sarkar 3, Meri Pyaari Bindu start poorly, Baahubali 2 continues dream run
The Amitabh Bachchan starrer fared better than Meri Pyaari Bindu.
13 May 2017 12:05 IST
Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3 and Yash Raj Films' Meri Pyaari Bindu clashed at the box office yesterday. As far as the first day is concerned, the clash had no fizz as both films had poor collections.
The Amitabh Bachchan starrer has earned Rs2.25 crore while the Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra starrer has made a dismal Rs1.75 crore, as per numbers shared by BoxOfficeIndia.com.
Although the collections of Sarkar 3 are better than Meri Pyaari Bindu, its occupancy was much less than the other film. The number of screens received by the RGV film is much higher. The budget of the film is said to be over Rs30 crore. The low turnout on the first day will make it very difficult for the film to reach that number.
The budget of Akshay Roy's Meri Pyaari Bindu is reportedly Rs22 crore. This film too would find it difficult to get decent returns if the numbers don't pick up on Saturday (today) and Sunday.
On the other hand, the Hindi version SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Conclusion continues its dream run. The film collected Rs9.50 crore yesterday, which was its third Friday. It has beaten the previous third Friday record of Dangal (Rs6.20 crore) in a comprehensive manner.
The grand total of the Hindi version of Baahubali 2 now stands at a mammoth Rs395.50 crore.

"Berkshire said it does not believe any Kraft shareholder should vote "yes" to the proposal without knowing what they are voting for. However, it said that it would change its own vote from "no" to "yes" if, after seeing the final offer Kraft is expected to present later this month, it concludes that the offer does not destroy value for Kraft shareholders."

He's dead on, and you would think the Kraft board would take heed. Cheers!
value-is-what-you-get
It really speaks to the entrenchment of "yes" Directors on Boards that are supposed to be protecting shareholder value when they stubbornly move ahead on a plan in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is a bad idea. (I consider WEB saying so to be overwhelming evidence) They probably do not want to admit they were wrong to offer underpriced shares for the purchase and so they trudge on.
The kicker is that the advice comes from Earth's foremost expert on the subject and it is free!!!
For those that have read "The Snowball", Buffett's experience as a director at Coke was most unpleasant. Fortunately, this time he's not a director and can freely say what's on his mind. Cheers!

Designing Learning Spaces for Student Engagement
Teacher and former interior designer Erin Klein argues that students must have a voice in how they learn, and part of that involves listening to their needs when it comes to classroom design — for comfort, engagement and empowerment.
Classroom design naturally unlocks — or stifles — student engagement and empowerment in a way few other things can, according to Erin Klein. Klein is a teacher with a previous background in interior design and an author of various books and articles about how areas like design and technology intersect with education. She also delivered the closing keynote address earlier this month at this year's CUE conference.
THE Journal: It seems like people can mean a lot of different things when they talk about empowering someone, from instilling them with confidence to helping them fight social narratives in their own heads to helping them gain or learn to use tools to solve problems. What do you mean when you talk about empowering students?
Klein: When I think about empowering students, one of the foundational pieces that comes to mind is listening to the student's voice and valuing that. I think when you give students, no matter how young or what grade level they are, a platform where their voice can be heard they instantly increase engagement. They feel valued. They feel like what they're learning matters because what they have to contribute matters. So I think that that's the most important part. And you know as adults if we think about what empowers us most it's often times where we feel included or a valuable part of something.
So, in the classroom — so often I think not done intentionally — but I think just with the demands of the curriculum and the pace of the day, oftentimes educators get tied up in doing most of the talking, in doing most of the instructing where there can actually be a great deal learned from kind of pulling back a little and letting the students take charge and allowing their voice to be heard. I think that would be most important, really just listening to the students and letting them add and shape the discussion.
THE Journal: When I think of empowering students, building relationships and the importance of class design, it makes sense how any two of those three snaps together, but somehow the relationship between all three is a little less intuitive. Can you talk a little about how these ideas all inform one another or intersect?
Klein: It started actually in my second-grade classroom through having conversations and building relationships with my students in our daily class meetings. As I would get to know my new group of learners that first week or two of school, one of the conversations organically just turned into, "How do you learn best, and what sort of environments do you like? What makes you most comfortable?" And it was interesting that overwhelmingly the response from all of my students was they really want to be comfortable physically whenever they're learning and they said sometimes it's just hard to focus if the table's too tall or the chair is too hard.
You know, at first I just kind of chuckled inside because it reminded me of Goldilocks, but then it made perfect sense. So I started thinking about the importance of classroom design and what factors that could play in terms of learning. Prior to doing teaching I studied interior design as a career, so I started implementing some of my design background into the classroom and it just sort of magically started transforming the way I was teaching.
I have a background in reading and writing workshops, so I'm used to just having natural conversations with students and taking learners where they are and really differentiating and personalizing instruction, and it seems to me that everything I was trying to do was inhibited by the desks and the physical landscape of the classroom space. But once I made the classroom more comfortable — and it was through building those relationships with my kids where I got some of the greatest advice for doing that — I started just to change the landscape of the furniture in my room and the layout and orientation. And then I was able to more freely move around the classroom, the students were able to work in groups or partnerships more easily, and other teachers were able to push in and help and assist as needed, and everything was a lot more flexible in the classroom.
So often I've wanted my kids to just turn and talk and just have those discussions, but when you're separated by two feet of desk and then you have a classroom full of 20 to 30 kids the volume instantly gets loud, and it becomes very uncomfortable for someone who's an introvert to share their ideas with someone who seems to only be across from them, but it's actually a great deal of space away and it's just very chaotic. So once we just started to change the furniture layout and make it a lot more comfortable for the kids, everything I ever wanted in terms of just naturally having conversations and discussions among groups really just started to happen.
So for me they all just naturally relate to each other because we're able to come together and collaborate more and become more of what we call a classroom family. Some call it classroom community or some just call it a team, but in our classroom we really think of one another as a family and we learn to respect each other and to be responsible for ourselves and our spatial awareness. But it's just because we don't have such a stagnant learning environment; it is really flexible. It's more homelike, is what the kids say, and it's just a lot easier to learn in a space that lends itself for collaboration with a flexible classroom design layout.
THE Journal: Breakout spaces seem to be pretty popular recently, and I'd think they offer unique opportunities for empowerment and relationship building, but I've also been told they can present challenges with supervision, particularly if they're in a separate room. How can teachers deal with that effectively? Taking this to a higher level perspective, how can teachers interested in designing the spaces they teach in understand these kinds of tradeoffs and prepare for them?
Klein: I think if you designed specific breakout type sessions that are not housed within the normal classroom learning environment it's going to be seen as kind of like what the old school computer labs were. You have to leave the classroom to do something cool, right? So naturally it increases the hype and anxiety, and the chaos does elevate in terms of managing the class environment. But yet when it's inclusive and housed within the classroom, then it becomes a normal part of the learning experience and the children don't see it as something different because we're going outside the classroom to a breakout area. They see it as just, "This is how we learn because collaboration and teamwork and problem-solving is part of what we need in life."
I think when you give children more autonomy and trust they really want to impress you. They want to do well. But if it's only in isolated pockets, you're not going to see the level of success that you want to because then it's seen as just something new and different that happens in pockets of isolation and not often. So I think you really have to integrate it as a daily practice to see the type of results that would happen naturally.
THE Journal: From the perspective of a teacher working in the classroom, what do architects or other professional classroom designers tend to miss about classroom design and how it relates to student empowerment and relationship building?
Klein: No. 1, I think they miss incorporating the students' ideas and opinions. One of the first things architects and designers do is they have to bid for jobs that they're interested in or clients come to them. Either way they're consulting with the client. However, that doesn't happen in education. The clients are completely overlooked. For some reason it just comes from the top where the budget dollars are. But yet the administrative offices are often times removed from the physical building, the K–12 building. They're in a central office somewhere. So it's interesting to me that the architects and designers so often work in direct collaboration with administrative teams in central offices as opposed to going at the ground level and interviewing and asking the students, "Hey you're the users of this space ergonomically. What would work best for you, or what would you like to see or when you're learning about this content area; or when you have to use these sorts of resources, what works best?" — and including the teachers as well.
Some of the most simple things get overlooked just because you're not thinking with the client in mind. You're thinking either "traditionally this is what a school is supposed to look like," or you're missing the mark entirely by not going to the users of the space which would be the students themselves.
THE Journal: The idea of future-proofing schools is really interesting, but I always have this voice in the back of my head when I read about it telling me that none of us know what the future of technology or anything else will bring. Are there lessons — perhaps about adaptability or planning or anything else — that working on future ready classrooms can offer teachers about their own practice and outside of design?
Klein: Hands down, first of all, it goes back to the kids and always does. I think you have to think about the demographics of students that you're teaching, the types of learners, and you have to communicate with them and you have to also be in touch with your community and what they have to offer. I think it does take a village to raise a child, and I think the schools should be more involved with the community themselves.
When you're thinking about designing curriculum and really preparing kids to be "college and career-ready," you know, what does that mean? What are colleges looking for? More importantly, you know not every kid is going to go to college. Some are going to go directly into the career force, and I know several adults who have been incredibly successful through trade or entrepreneurship. And I think that when we let students know that there are options out there and we give them the tools and resources and the life cells that they need to be successful in the world and not just college ready but also career ready, we have to first find out from them what are their interests and what do they see the problems of the world today as being. And if given that opportunity, how would they begin to tackle those problems in the world?
Talk about inspiring students' voices. A lot of kids will ask, "What does it matter what I think?" and it's like, "Are you kidding me? You are the future!"
When you really allow kids to think beyond just page 87 in the science textbook and you start asking them to think about "What have you heard on the news? What have you researched from current events? What do you foresee as problems that are occurring and how would you go about tackling that creatively? Even revising current solutions that are out there, how would you begin to use design thinking or different instructional methodologies to tackle these real world problems?"
When students collaborate not just on the questions at the end of the book but on tackling authentic problems that are actually occurring and that are meaningful tomorrow and in their world — I think that's not only when you get engagement and student buy-in but it also creates an authentic learning experience.
Whenever you're creating future ready schools to prepare kids for the world that they live in, you have to be in touch with the community and you have to connect that back to the learner to find out what role will they end up playing in that community. Then how can you scaffold that supportive learning experience to prepare them for that in the classroom, whether it's making and construction and 3D modeling or building and writing and doing like journalism or multimedia-type skills for photography or video. You really just have to get to know your learners and it's not necessarily always technology inclusive. It really just depends on what their passions are and what the needs in the community are. So that 100 percent goes back to getting to know your students and building those relationships and that awareness within the community of what is the world asking.
THE Journal: What questions do you have about classroom design after working on it for years?
Klein: It's funny that every year the topic of comfort comes up with my kids. They all want to be comfortable and one of the most shocking things to me as a mom and a teacher was when I had a group of students tell me teachers always make classrooms so pretty and "we just don't like pretty." And I was like, "What do you mean, do you want ugly?" and they said, "No, we just want something that everyone will like and not everyone likes chevron print or pink and purple." So my ongoing question to kids will always be, "What is it that you want in your learning spaces? How do you learn best?"
And I'm always looking for storage solutions. Those are questions that I will always have and ways especially to make small learning spaces most efficient because I think a lot of teachers are dealing with limited resources and small spaces. And, especially when you put some of the larger students the middle school and upper school students in such small spaces, how can you fit all the resources that you need with still having an environment that isn't overstimulating or cluttered? How do you manage those effectively? So I'm always continuously looking for those sorts of solutions.

This was my first visit to Munnar. I boarded the bus from Kochi. There are lots of views that can be captured from camera on the way to Munnar. Journey was bit tiring and journey was of around 5 hours. Bus operator was good and so was the conductor. Bus seats were of good quality and it was an AC bus. My advice would be if you do not have budget constraint then you can also book a cab from Kochi to Munnar as there are many places in between where you would like to stop and take a snap.

The students developed strategies the group can use to mitigate the impact of the unconventional natural gas drilling expected to occur in communities lying atop the Marcellus Shale, a dense rock formation that extends from Southern New York into Appalachia.
The proposed natural gas drilling has raised concerns because companies plan to use a procedure known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to extract natural gas from the underground shale. The process requires pushing water treated with chemicals into wells at high pressure to crack the rock and release the natural gas. The wastewater would then be treated at designated disposal sites.
While Pennsylvania has already allowed companies to drill natural gas wells using the procedure, New York officials are conducting an environmental review before deciding whether to permit companies to proceed with the drilling.
In mid-February, Balassiano and the students boarded a chartered bus and drove down to tour Tioga County and Bradford County, Pennsylvania, where drilling has already begun. The Bradford County planner joined the group and showed the students the gas drilling sites as well as the wind farms that have developed in the area.
The workshop was divided into four teams that focused on issues which reflect TING's own subcommittees: water quality; roads, workforce and safety; environment; and process and communications. The students in the workshop came from a variety of disciplines at Cornell, ranging from natural resources to planning and public administration.
To help pay for travel expenses and publication of a final report, the workshop received a $2,000 grant from the Faculty Fellows-In-Service Program, a Cornell initiative that supports faculty and undergraduates involved in community service activities. At the end of the semester, the students in the workshop produced 30 copies of a report discussing their recommendations and presented their findings to TING stakeholders.

GW 2: Path of Fire practically came out of nowhere. We had about a month or so to get ready before we began our hunt for Balthazar.


We had 4 sailboats and one chase boat on the water for three hours. Some people had never sailed before and were guided by those that were ASA certified. We had homemade pumpkin bread, cookies and apple cider. Meanwhile, our club photographer took pictures with the fall colors as a background.
ASA sailing clubs like this one are launching across the country. They're free to join and have no membership dues. Most importantly, they're a great way to meet other ASA sailors and get out on the water. Most events are free or very low-cost. The Fall Leaves Regatta, for example, cost $15/person, and that included use of the boats and the food!
Even during the off-season, ASA sailing clubs will be active with social events, movie nights, and more.
