Heidi: Did you time this piece with the filibuster?
Michael: We didn't time it with the filibuster. The fact that we went to press right as all that was going down was a fortuitous coincidence which required some scrambling to get the piece online earlier than usual. But we timed the feature more generally to Merkley's rise as an anti-Trump resister in the Senate. We started reporting it right around the time of the Jeff Sessions confirmation in February, of which Merkley was a leading opponent. Additionally, there was an old-school "stop the presses" moment on Tuesday during the filibuster. Though the magazine had already gone to press, we really wanted to change the story to more accurately reflect what was happening in the news, so we contacted our printers and made a last-minute alteration to the story before it was plated. Not something that happens often in magazine land!
Did you suspect this would have so much social media impact?
We knew the piece would be timely, but the timing couldn't have been better. Merkley was already in the news when we posted the story and it snowballed from there. Since we posted it's been our top story on Facebook, and our second for overall web traffic.
What type of direction did you give Andy?
The starting point was me simply asking for a portrait that would make Jeff Merkley appear heroic, since the story was about his rise from quiet sideliner to more vocal leader. During pre-shoot conversations the work of many photographers was referenced, from Penn to Schoeller to Platon. Andy asked me a lot of very specific questions about whether the shot should be B&W or color, what Merkley's pose should be, shirt sleeves rolled up or down, background colors, suited or casually dressed, etc. A fairly thorough examination of possible image directions. And when I showed up for the shoot he'd built two different sets, one with a black background for a seated pose and one white background for full body. We ended up using the full body shot for the turn page.
Are most are your photographers regional or do you fly people to shoot for you?
We really only use local photographers—it's just not budget-feasible for us to fly someone in most of the time. And since Portland has developed into a photographer-rich environment, it's rare that I need to bring someone in from out-of-town.
How much time did you get with Merkley? He's a busy man.
As often happens with celebrities and other people in the public sphere, we had very little time with our subject, less than 45 minutes total; but Andy and his team did amazing work in a short time. Especially considering that Merkley was super sick when the photo was taken. His people requested that we try to make him look "alive", so with the magic of hair and makeup and good lighting we kept him looking good!
Great interview! How can I re-post this on LinkedIn for more people to see?

VAT Increase to Affect Medical Aid Benefits?
admin Dental Practices, Medical Aid, Medical Practices, Practice Management
VAT increase won't affect your medical benefits
First appeared here: https://www.iol.co.za/personal-finance/vat-increase-wont-affect-your-medical-benefits-13886951
The increase in value-added tax VAT will not affect your medical scheme contributions or benefits for the year, but it will affect the prices of medical products and services, which means you will have less buying power on your medical savings account when it comes to day-to-day expenses. And if your medical scheme has not updated its systems by April 1 to cope with the increase, you may experience some hassles in getting your claims paid.
Gerhard van Emmenis, the principal officer of Bonitas Medical Fund, says the one-percentage-point VAT increase will not affect your monthly contributions or annual benefits. "Many members are confused as to whether VAT is payable on medical scheme contributions, but let me reassure you it is not," Van Emmenis says.
"The VAT increase will have no effect on members directly and what they pay each month. Medical scheme contributions for 2018 are already set and Bonitas will not increase contributions mid-year to accommodate the change in VAT. So, while the increase in VAT may affect the price of services, it will not affect benefits."
Van Emmenis says that if, for example, your medical scheme plan covers you at 100% of the scheme rate, you are still covered at 100% of that rate, no matter what the cost to the scheme, and the scheme will absorb the VAT when paying your claim. "The only impact is when it comes to savings and day-to-day benefits, with members having less buying power," he says.
In fact, changing contribution rates in the middle of the year can be done only with the permission of the Council for Medical Schemes following a request from the trustees of the medical scheme, something that happens rarely, Van Emmenis says.
He says that, from April 1, Bonitas will increase the VAT to all providers by 1%. Although this will have a direct impact on the scheme's budget for 2018, it will be absorbed by operational surpluses and not passed on to members.
Dr Jonathan Broomberg, the chief executive of Discovery Health, says Discovery Health Medical Scheme will not be passing on the increased costs to its members.
"The increase in VAT will not make a very material difference for individual members. Using the example of a general practitioner visit with a tariff of R400, the increase in the tariff payable from their savings account will be R4. Using a typical member's claims patterns on a Classic Saver plan, the average increased spend from the member's savings account is expected to be about R60 for the entire year."
Patrick Masobe, the chief executive of medical scheme administrator Agility Health, notes that the VAT increase has significant implications for health-care funders.
"Medical schemes are VAT-exempt. However, they are required to cover VAT on products and services that members claim for.
"Brokers, who are paid a commission on business they bring to a medical scheme, must charge VAT on their commission at the new rate of 15%," he says.
"In the R160 billion medical schemes industry, a 1% VAT increase represents approximately R1.6bn – a hefty amount for schemes to absorb until annual contribution increases are announced at the end of the year. This cost was not foreseeable when medical schemes worked out their budgets and membership contributions for 2018," he says.
So the costs being absorbed now may well hit your pocket when schemes increase their rates for next year.
"We do expect that all medical schemes will need to increase premiums in 2019 to compensate for the additional costs of the VAT increase," Broomberg says.
Van Emmenis says the VAT increase can have an impact on future contribution increases, but "it remains to be seen how this will play out. Bonitas has several cost-containment strategies in place to limit the impact of escalating costs on our members. We are also making great strides in our fight against fraud, wastage and abuse, which has resulted in us recouping revenue".
Like other sectors, the health-care industry has limited time to ensure that all products and services subject to VAT are updated on their systems and there has been much behind-the-scenes activity in trying to ensure that you don't have claims hassles come April Fool's Day.
"This is the first time the VAT rate has increased since 1993 and, for health-care funders that are not adequately prepared, this could potentially have a significant knock-on effect, as the systems that underpin claims in health care must all be updated," says Wilma Liebenberg, the chief executive of Knowledge Objects, a company providing risk and claims management information systems to the health-care funding industry.
"The immediate implication for consumers, should their medical scheme, its administrator or other stakeholders in the service chain not be fully prepared for the shift, could be a 1% shortfall in the payment of their claims.
"At Knowledge Objects, we will make certain that the machinery supporting claims management is updated with the new tariffs to include 15% VAT from midnight on April 1, and we have pulled out all the stops to ensure our clients have a seamless transition to the new VAT rate," Liebenberg says.

Launching a new API isn't easy. There is a lot of noise in the market, and discovery can be challenging. That's why finding great partners to work with in this space is of vital importance.
We made the decision early on to partner with Mashape to bring our Machine Learning APIs to market. For those who aren't familiar, Mashape is the leading open market for APIs. They help new APIs get discovered and integrated into awesome applications.
Mashape has been an exceptional partner from day one. Before we even launched with them, Aghi their CEO was willing to meet with me in person to explain their marketplace. As we rolled out our offerings the technical team was available around the clock to help make sure our APIs were working properly.
Most recently, Mashape has brought Chris Ismael on to help with promotion of APIs. Chris has done an unbelievable job for us. He's lined up several hackathon sponsor opportunities and media interviews that have exposed our company to an extensive new audience.
Chris and the Mashape team are helping to ensure that the potential of the web as a programming platform is realized. If you are launching a new API I strongly encourage you to connect with the Mashape team to find out how they can help you make your service known.

Q: Perl program - Dynamic Bootstrapping code I need to understand the working of this particular program, It seems to be quite complicated, could you please see if you could help me understanding what this program in Perl does, I am a beginner so I hardly can understand whats happening in the code given on the following link below, Any kind of guidance or insights wrt this program is highly appreciated. Thank you...:)
This program is called premove.pl.c
Its associated with one more program premove.pl,
Its code looks like this:
#!perl

open (newdata,">newdata.txt")
|| die("cant create new file\n");#create passwd file
$linedata = "";
while($line=<>){
chomp($line);
#chop($line);
print newdata $line."\n";
}
close(newdata);
close(olddata);

__END__

I am even not sure how to run the two programs mentioned here. I wonder also what does the extension of the first program signify as it has "pl.c" extension, please let me know if you know what it could mean. I need to understand it asap thats why I am posting this question, I am kind of short of time else I would try to figure it out myself, This seems to be a complex program for a beginner like me, hope you understand. Thank you again for your time.

A: First, regarding the perl code you posted:
See:

*

*perlfunc open

*perlfunc chmop

*perlop on IO Operators, especially the null filehandle.
This is some atrociously bad code.  I rewrote it for you without all the obfuscation and foolishness.  This should be a bit more understandable.
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::File;

my $newdata = IO::File->new( 'newdata.txt', '>' )
    or die "Unable to open newdata - $!\n";

while( my $line = <> ) {

    $newdata->print( $line );

}

The main thing that is likely to be confusing is the <> or null filehandle read.  Here it grabs a line from any files listed in program args, or if no arguments provided, it reads STDIN.
This script is essentially cat filename > newdata.txt
As for premove.pl.c, I'm no internals expert, but it looks like the author took an example for how to embed a Perl interpreter in a C program and pasted it into an oddly named file.
It looks to me like its will compile down to something equivalent to perl.  In short, another useless artifact.  Was the person who produced this paid by the line?
If this is the state of the code you've inherited, I feel sorry for you.

A: It looks like someone tried to run a Perl-to-C converter on your program so they could compile it to a C object. They probably thought this would make it faster. I'm guessing that you could ignore the .c file and use that Perl script directly.

An extremely rare Simon of Lippe sterling!
Today only one coin added to the site, but it's an extremely rare one.
This time a few short cross imitations / forgeries are added to the site.
Below some nice additions to the site, all Edwardian imitations.
Today I added some very rare Edwardian imitations, including Arnhem, Dordrecht, Viesville!
The first in the list is the most special of them!
Today 19 coins, some very rare or unique, were added to the website.
Today I added 6 crockards and pollards.
This website shows my collection of continental sterling imitations and contemporary forgeries, roughly dated between 1220-1450. When I found my first Edward I penny on August 1st 2007 my interest in the medieval English coinage was arisen. I started reading about it and found out about the several classes and on one point I read something about sterling imitations, made on the continent. This meant they must have been struck just where I live! The more I read about it, the more I got interested and not long later I bought my first imitation. A new collection was born!
My collection is still growing and sometimes new discoveries are made. Some reference works are dated and incomplete. After N.J. Mayhew published his book (which is my bible) "Sterling Imitations of Edwardian Type" in 1983 metal detecting became more popular and better and unlisted sterlings were found. Even today. Now and then I am lucky enough to acquire a new variety or new type. It would be a shame not to share these findings with the rest of the world and therefor I created this website. I hope it will be a great source for metal detectorists and collectors. Feel free to use the picures and information. All I ask is to mention this website as the source. I added my private catalogue numbers to the coins, which can be used as a reference.
New additions will be announced on the updates page.
I'm also willing to help with identification sterlings. You can use the contact page to get in touch and I try to come back within a few days with a full determination.
All coins are kept in a safe deposit box at the bank and most of them are not for sale. The few ones I have for sale, bear a clear "SALE" tag. Please go to the contact page to ask for more details.

I have a question about Vermisstenbildliste.
I just don't know which military units are included in Vermisstenbildliste.
Infanterie-Regiment 508, Infanterie-Regiment 509, Artillerie-Regiment 292)?
There are all listed in the books that were sought by the families about the 'German Red Cross'.
A am in a really difficult situation, as I am looking for a person, but I don't know a lot about him.
He served in 4th army, most likely in 292id, as a rank-and-file soldier.
His name was Siegfried, and the worst thing is that his surname it is not known.
I know so little information, that it's a hundred to one I won't be able to find anything.
It is almost impossible to know so little and find a man who has died 73 years ago.
However, I hope for Vermisstenbildliste. I know that the personal data of a soldier sometimes comes with a photo there.
The wanted person can be identified by a photo.
I understand that there is a giant information volume, but it was my one and only hope.
unfortunately there is no chance of using this information.
You have the first name and you have the unit.
Find out in which book (vermisstenbildliste) the unit is and by the book (ebay). Then you have approx. 900 pages and search each page for his first name.

Veteran Tampa Bay chef returns from retirement with sushi, jazz bar in downtown Clearwater
Veteran sushi chef Charlie Lam, right, assembles a line of orders during a lunch service at Charlie's Sushi, which opened at 1200 Cleveland St., 21 years to the day after he opened the long-time Kaikos sushi on McMullen Booth Road. Lam said he learned the recipes and techniques behind his success from his Chinese-born parents while growing up in Vietnam. DOUGLAS R. CLIFFORD | Times
By Tracey McManus
Published Dec. 6, 2017
CLEARWATER — Behind his sushi bar on Cleveland Street, Charlie Lam slices fresh fish and vegetables exactly how his parents showed him as a child in Vietnam.
The recipes are the same ones he's been repeating since he first started making them in his family's restaurant at age 10.
Lam, 59, landed in Detroit in 1979 as a refugee of the aftermath of the Vietnam War and found his way to Tampa Bay in 1981 in search of warm weather and place to share his cooking. Since his first Chinese restaurant, Kimbo in St. Petersburg in 1985, to the 10-table Kaiko that operated in east Clearwater for two decades, not much has changed about Lam's approach to his craft.
But after spending two years in a retirement that didn't quite suit him, the chef returned Nov. 20 with a venture outside of downtown Clearwater that has a new edge to his classic techniques. It will double as a jazz cafe once a month under a name his regulars always called his other restaurants anyway: Charlie's Sushi.
"He had a concept years ago and it worked for him," said bar manager Erik Vargas, 30. "You stick to what you know, what you're really good at. All of our customers are family because of that."
Lam bought the former Los Mayas Mexican Restaurant at the corner of Cleveland Street and Missouri Avenue in May, gutted the inside and recruited his family to help launch it. The operation runs on Lam, sons Dan, 28, and Alan, 24, and Vargas, who has worked for the family since 2010.
No one has precise titles because "In the future, if they want to open their own restaurant, they have to know how to do everything," Lam said.
Just like he grew up, Lam's children started early in the kitchen, with Dan and Alan committed now to the restaurant industry while their brother, Bryant, went into electrical engineering.
"Everything we learned is from the family, just like my father learned," Alan said.
There are no days off for Lam, he said. It's not unusual for him to leave past midnight and return early the next morning to prep and clean.
David Abelson, a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley, has been a regular since Kaiko's early days in the 1990s, bringing clients in for lunch every week, sometimes returning in the same day for dinner with his wife.
He said there was a void after Kaiko, which Lam rebranded as Ocean Blue in 2011 and sold in 2014. Like most regulars, Abelson kept tabs on Lam through mutual friends during his retirement and was one of the first to return to the new venue in November.
"One of the best things is Charlie is always there," Abelson said. "His entire life is based around this."
During his retirement, Lam and his wife, June, traveled for seven months to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, studying the cuisine along the way — but nowhere could he find sushi that tasted quite like his family's.
Even culinary school didn't feel right. Lam said he took courses in 1981 but left after instructors encouraged students to cut onions with a chopping machine instead of a knife.
Lam said he was open to the unconventional blend of sushi and jazz for what it could offer to the downtown still working on a revival. Yoshi's sushi restaurant in Oakland has become world- renowned for the concept.
Jimmy Richman, who met Lam as a customer at Kaiko 20 years ago, said the dream is to make Charlie's Sushi the same caliber of a destination.
When Lam told him he was bored in retirement and wanted to open a new restaurant, Richman said, he put $25,000 into the building renovation to include a stage and sound equipment and took the lead on organizing the musical lineups. He hopes to expand the monthly jazz acts to be a more regular staple.
Because if there's anything Lam has mastered in his career, it's consistency.
"This is going to be a landmark in three to five years," Richman said. "We are going to make it happen."

Charlie's Sushi
Where: 1200 Cleveland St.
Hours: Noon to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Jazz: The restaurant will host a national contemporary jazz band once a month. Door charge is $30 and reservations must be made by calling Jimmy Richman at (727) 515-4454. The next show is Dec. 13, featuring Vincent Ingala. Seating starts at 6:30 p.m. and show time is 8. Profits will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

MINI creates most insane JCW yet; the GP Concept
Brett Davis Sep 06, 2017
Car News, Concepts, Mini
You've heard the term 'pocket rocket'? Well, MINI has revealed what can only be described as the definition of the tern, with the John Cooper Works GP Concept. The car will make its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show next week.
As you can see, this is no ordinary MINI Cooper. It doesn't even blend in with MINI's JCW models. This is way more aggressive and out there in comparison. The front end shows off a racing-like splitter to hug the front of the car to the ground and minimise airflow under the car.
Towards the back things get a lot more extreme. You'll find chunky side skirts that lead into extended rear guards. These guards give the little MINI a wide-body effect, like an '80s rally car, with side intakes like on a supercar. At the top is a huge spoiler that's as wide as the bulging guard extensions. Most of these aero parts are made from carbon fibre for added exotica.
The interior has also been given a major makeover. It features a roll cage, low-mounted bucket seats with five-point harnesses, and a "cleanly-designed" instrument cluster with plenty of creature comforts stripped out. MINI says a range of new 3D-printed components make up the door and instrument panels, with something the company calls 3D knitting for some of the trims.
These 3D technologies are in concept form but MINI says they showcase the possibility of tool-free production and personalisation of the future. Various parts are in Highspeed Orange and Curbside Red for a racy look.
The concept celebrates the 50th anniversary of Mini's triumphs achieved during the Monte Carlo Rally, with the number 0059 on the sides harking back to the original Mini of 1959. At this stage there are no plans for production. Peter Schwarzenbauer, member of the board of management of BMW AG, said:
"The MINI John Cooper Works GP Concept is all about the unfettered feeling of driving and levels of performance found in motor sport competition. This is driving fun in its purest form."
More details, including the engine specs, are set to be revealed at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show commencing September 12.

As the weather warms up, you may notice your children's energy levels tend to wind up as well. With summer right around the corner, children are just itching to run around, kick a ball, swim, and be free from classroom confines. Add that energy level to the apocalyptic-like sugar-highs at many birthday parties, and you might rethink even hosting a summer birthday party for your son or daughter!
Others embrace this warmer weather and use it to their advantage! Take the party outside – where you will have more space for the kids to let off steam, less chance of new items being broken (or your favorite vase crashing to the floor), and an easier clean-up once the guests have all gone home.
If April showers bring May flowers, then May is the perfect month to have a planting party! Have flower pots for the kids to paint and decorate with stickers, pom-poms, pipe-cleaners and other craft items. Then have each child plant a seed or flower in their pot to take home with them as their parting gift.
Decorate a favorite backyard tree or the nearest basketball-hoop pole as a Maypole. Play music and show them how to loop their crepe-paper lines over and under each other. Stop the music at intervals and make sure the children "freeze" until the music plays again.
Give each child a bug house or jar with a lid, and a pair of plastic tweezers. Shout out the name of an insect and see who can scramble around the park or yard the fastest and find the "grasshopper" or "katydid" first. Boys and girls alike will have fun trying to capture as many of these insects as they can.
Have flower-shaped cookies that were baked onto toothpicks that you then "planted" on top of each chocolate (dirt) cupcake with green (grass) icing on top. Be sure to add a couple of gummi worms here and there, too!
Have a June-bug party! Kids love dressing in costumes: ask them to come dressed as their favorite insect. Designate a grown-up helper (or two) to be official Face Painters and have them paint an insect on each child's cheek or face.
Have simple outdoor games with a little twist to them: hard boil a dozen or so eggs, color them yellow, and have one for each child to decorate like a bumblebee (provide googly-eyes and glue, or stickers, crayons and markers). Next, divide your guests into groups of two, have them each hold their "bumblebees" in plastic spoons and see who can "fly" their bees across the grass and put them in the "hive" or basket at the other end without dropping them! Whichever team gets all their bees back home first wins a prize.
Have an Antennae-Making station at one of the outdoor picnic tables. Have enough headbands for each child, and show them how to wind pipe cleaners around them to make their own Ladybug or grasshopper antennae. This will enhance their ensemble and be their parting gift, as well.
One of our most beloved pastimes is to have our guests decorate their own dessert. Give each child their own paper plate and plain cupcake, and have bowls of colored icing, jelly beans, sprinkles, gummi fish/bears/worms, or whatever else your birthday-boy/girl requests. Turn Twinkies into slugs, or plop cupcakes upside down on a plate and ice them that way – they become snails! The kids spend as much time decorating their dessert (and, let's face it: themselves as well) as they do eating it.
No matter which month your child's birthday falls in, try to remember that it isn't about having the coolest place to go, or the most money spent, it's about making memories that last a lifetime. The best of memories can be made right in your own backyard. And clean-up is so much easier!


Manchester United FC squad. Here is the Manchester United FC Squad 2018/19. The January transfer window 2019 is closed and the Summer transfer window 2018 will open in a few months and we have the full Manchester United tansfers list 2019 with all new player signings 2018/19.
Manchester United have had a mixed season compared to their original expectations. With the arrival of Jose Mourinho, United were expected to do very big things. They had their sights set on Premier League glory. However, neither of those ambitions were met. This season they are second in the Premier League well behind league leaders Manchester City. They are still in the Champions League and the FA Cup. Jose will have to take a good look at his squad ahead of the 2018/19 season.
The signings he made in the 2016/17 season had mixed results. The most notable among them were world-record signing, midfielder Paul Pogba. He arrived from Juventus for £89million. However, if we're being honest, Pogba has not yet justified such a high price tag. Perhaps their best signing of the season was the veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who arrived for free. He had a fantastic season at Old Trafford but got injured late on. This season, they have signed Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window 2018 which was a major coup. They have also signed Romelu Lukaku prior to the 2017/18 season but he has failed to impress this season.
United have been linked with several players so far this season. They have been linked with Antoine Griezmann, the Atletico Madrid striker. Any deal struck for him would likely better the £89 million paid for Pogba last season, meaning another world-record. At the back, they are now being linked with Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld. He would be a good partner for Eric Bailly. Bailly signed last summer and has impressed in a United shirt this season. Additionally, Jose Mourinho is said to be keen on signing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic. The Croatian impressed many for his displays at the World Cup.
How does the Man United first team for 2018/19 season looks like? The Manchester United line up 2018/19 season will consist of these players.
David De Gea and Sergio Romero have been the featured goalkeepers for United this season. De Gea has played most of the league games and has been outstanding as usual. Though he did not start as expected this season, the Spaniard has done well to get back to his form and has dished out a number of outstanding performances under the new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United have had mixed fortunes in their defending this season. Sometimes they are great at the back, but other times, they are woeful. Eric Bailly has been a good addition to the squad, and Antonio Valencia has been great as a makeshift right-back. The addition of Victor Lindelof from Benfica will be good for United, as he is a big leader who will add quality to their situation at the back. Mourinho paid £31.5million for his services.
Under Solskjaer however, Ashley Young has taken on the armband in absence of Valencia who has been injured for some time now. He has done a commendable job as the right back. The likes of Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof have stepped up well since December as they have mostly been used by the new manager.
United's midfield was strong last season despite injury problems. Paul Pogba was one of the standouts, although he didn't quite perform to the standard we expected. However, he has been outstanding since the appointment of Solskjaer as the manager and has notched up 12 goals to show for his efforts.
Marouane Fellaini has left Old Trafford for China in January. Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic have also been good in their efforts from the midfield.
These are the strikers in the Manchester United FC squad. Marcus Rashford has equally impressed as he burst onto the scene in the 2015/16 season and has continued to show good form this season under Jose Mourinho.
Wayne Rooney was a man who struggled last season. He had been at United since 2004 but went back to Everton this summer to try and get some more playing time. He has been replaced by £75million striker Romelu Lukaku, who came the other way from Goodison. The Belgian came 2nd in the PL Golden Boot race last season, scoring 25 goals. Manchester United signed Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way.

Q: How to store button name, from a loop, when clicked on? Trying to store the name of the buttons that are clicked on, in a list (orderList). These buttons were also generated from a list (menuList) by a FOR loop. Whenever any button is clicked, it stores the last value only.
menuList = ['egg', 'bacon', 'bread']
orderList = []

def makeOrder(arg):
    orderList.append(arg)
    print (orderList)

for btn in mealList:
    ttk.Button(mainframe, text=btn, command=lambda: makeOrder(btn)).grid(column=1, row=5)

I just want to get each button to store it's name inside the blank list (orderList)

A: This is due to late binding of python which you can read more about it here. In short, you can work it out by modifying your lambda function:
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter as tk

menuList = ['egg', 'bacon', 'bread']
mealList = ["breakfast","lunch","dinner"]
orderList = []

root = tk.Tk()
mainframe = tk.Frame(root)
mainframe.pack()

for num,btn in enumerate(mealList):
    ttk.Button(mainframe, text=btn,command=lambda x=btn: orderList.append(x)).grid(column=num, row=5)

tk.Button(mainframe,text="result",command=lambda: print (orderList)).grid(row=6,column=0)

root.mainloop()

Who runs the website?
The website is run by Ocean Point Limited, which is owned by Ian Churchill and wife Sacha Churchill. All art sales are handled by Sacha. You can therefore be sure that you are buying direct from the artist and that provenance is guaranteed.
Does Ian take on convention sketches?
Ian will do a limited number of paid sketches per convention, depending on how busy he is with signings, panels etc. He will typically not take advance orders for convention sketches but will open a list first thing on day one of the show. Requests will be taken strictly on a first come, first served basis. It helps if you can bring reference material for the character you'd like him to draw. To find out what shows Ian will be attending check out the News page.
Does Ian charge for photos at conventions?
Ian will be happy to pose for a photo for or with you without charge, time permitting!
Does Ian charge for signatures at conventions?
Ian doesn't charge for signatures but please be considerate in how many you ask for. If signing all your comics means that other people might miss out, Ian will respectfully decline to sign all of them.
Can I send something for Ian to sign for me?
Unfortunately not. Not only does Ian's workload prohibit any extras, there is also the risk of something getting lost or damaged, a risk we don't wish to take.
Can Ian send me an autograph?
I'm sorry but due to the large number of requests we are unable to send signatures.
What tools does Ian use?
Way back when, Ian used to use a 4H pencil because he'd read somewhere that John Byrne used one! He quickly moved to a mechanical pencil because he didn't have the patience to keep sharpening a regular one, and also hated to have to break the flow when he was on a roll!
For a long time he used a 0.3 4H mechanical pencil but he switched over to 0.3 HB because it produces a darker line which helps when scanning and printing artwork directly from the pencils. He also uses a 0.5 blue mechanical pencil for layouts and foundation work.
To correct mistakes he uses a propelling eraser that you hold like a pencil as well as a regular eraser for larger areas. He inks with pens, using a range of thicknesses from 0.05 to 0.8, and sometimes uses Sharpies for heavy black areas.
He works on a fully-positionable angled drawing board and uses an Anglepoise lamp when there's no daylight available.
Ian was first in line when Apple introduced the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and it quickly became his tool of choice. He still sketches at shows in pencil and uses traditional media for studio commissions, but the majority of his comics work is now produced on the iPad Pro. The enemy of every professional comic creator is the deadline and more and more comic book artists are switching to digital methods to speed up their work flow. Ian is no exception. He finds it allows him to pencil AND ink a page in the time it used to take him to just pencil a page by traditional means.
The app Ian uses the most regularly is Procreate and he uses it for 99% of his comic page production. The majority of publishers still prefer their final files to be in Photoshop so Ian transfers the completed Procreate page to a Photoshop comic page template for submission to the publisher.
Who has influenced Ian artistically?
As a kid Ian read a lot of books with illustrations by Arthur Rackham, who he thinks is the "best comic book artist that never was" – Rackham died just as comics started to come into their own. As far as comics go, his first big influence was John Romita Snr, specifically on his Captain America run in the late 60s and early 70s. His work is what got Ian into comics. John Byrne was another major influence – Ian bought pretty much everything he drew, even after going pro. Other influences have been Arthur Adams, Alan Davis, Bob Layton…
Original Art: Pencils and Inks
As deadlines get tighter and the world goes digital, the traditional method of manual inks over physical pencils is no longer the norm. We want you to know exactly what you are buying, so please read through the information below and the information given by each piece of art on this site, and if you are in any doubt as to the properties of a particular page you are interested in buying please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Most of the original artwork sold on this site has been pencilled by Ian and inked by hand over the pencils, ie on the original artwork. Where known we have included details of the inker.
For Ian's creator-owned projects, Marineman and REVENGE, Ian digitally inked the artwork himself. So, the pencilled page is the only original artwork. This is indicated by 'pencils only Ian Churchill'.
Other work has been pencilled and inked by hand by Ian, which is clearly specified. Or it may have been published without inks, ie directly off the pencils.
More recently, Ian's pencilled page may have been scanned and sent digitally to the inker, who prints out the scan and does manual inks on the printout. This can lead to some ambiguity about what is original artwork. Is it the page that Ian has physically drawn on, which has his pencils, or is the page with inks which is the published piece? There's no right or wrong answer, it's down to personal preference. We have indicated in the artwork details where recently-uploaded pages have been inked from scans: this applies to work done for DC in 2015. For older pieces, we will work backwards and amend the artwork's details to indicate whether it was published off the pencils or inked from a scan. This will take us some time, but please feel free to drop us a line if there is a particular page you are interested in buying and we will prioritise that.

Prospective study of school injuries: incidence, types, related factors and initial management.

Wounds and Injuries - epidemiology
The rates of school injuries were examined by means of a prospective study of 212 schools during the 1981-82 school year. The results showed an annual incidence rate of 5.4 injury events/100 children, which appears to be an underestimate of the actual rate. Of all the injury events 28.7% resulted in serious injuries. Injuries were significantly more frequent in the elementary as opposed to the secondary schools, and the boys were injured significantly more often than the girls. Most of the injuries occurred during athletic activities. Most of the children with either serious or minor injuries were sent to the school office or returned to the classroom, which indicates that the present level of first-aid training among school personnel is inadequate.

What Happened to "Do The Right Thing?"
I saw Arianna Huffington on the Huckabee show last night. She so eloquently summed up exactly what's wrong in the world. From the BP spill to the Hungarian toxic sludge, it is about corporate accountability...really lack of accountability. Ms. Huffington said there is nothing wrong with the concept of capitalism, and capitalism works! What's wrong is that businesses and corporations have no morals. They are consumed with the quick profit and they are taking near-lethal short cuts to make the money. And then Ms. Huffington spoke about the government's role in all this. She said the government should be regulating and overseeing these businesses. The government should be the watchdog. And, in fact, the government has had major roles in many of these devastating-big-business-related-public disasters. But...the government wasn't doing what it was supposed to either, the government was not monitoring what was going on, the government wasn't protecting us.
And it's this simple...businesses and corporations - the men and women who run them, are immoral and unethical. And the government - the president and the congress are immoral and unethical.
It's not the democrats or republicans who ruined us...it's our brother, our sister, our neighbor, our mother our father, each of us. We ruined ourselves by not doing the right thing, by not helping each other and by taking advantage of each other. By stealing and lying and hurting each other.
Thank you Ms. Huffington, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. My eyes are open!
I don't know why we are doing this to each other. Do you?
Nancy C. said...
"..A new dimension of thought"? Oh really? 'Fraid not, miss Laura. You're drinking the same Kool-Aid as all those you've ranted about in your blogs. I'd like to think you've posted what you have in a tongue-in-cheek fashion...as a sort of come-through-the-back-door way of making people really think for themselves. But I don't (think that). Acquire some critical thinking skill and lose your illusions. Capitalism is perhaps a great concept - so is socialism - in a perfect world. But humans by definition aren't perfect. Capitalism doesn't work - nor does government regulation, nor socialism - precisely BECAUSE people act unethically and irrationally AND almost always in their own interests. The only political "vote" that truly counts is MONEY...or maybe POWER; but aren't those two essentially interchangeable terms? And "... Everyone would be accepted for who they are..."? Everything idea in your blogs is based on YOUR VERY OWN lack of acceptance of something(s) or someone (plural). Just like Arianna, you find it easy to criticize so much that goes on in the world (she makes a handsome living doing so). But in my thinking, one doesn't get kudos for criticizing an already flawed concept or position because of their own unrealistic expectations; that's like wanting praise for calling a defective part "defective". As a fellow nurse and a woman looking for true intellectual challenge from other bright women, I gotta call you out on your lack of true insights. I'll bet you can do better than what I've read today!
Background Check Your New Boyfriend
What's Up With My Husband and Sister?
Juan Williams Should Have Followed The Don't Ask D...
Obama College - Where everyone gets a C and that's...


Thank you Mr. Roger Horton for taking a stand. You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what is happening to our people and livelihood. Like you said, where are our leaders? The situation should never been allowed to get to this devastating point. "Coal Keeps The Lights On & Food On Our Tables".
Thank you Mr. Horton. It's about damn time someone said it and said it right. My husband has had countless jobs in the past few years only to get laid off from one and move on the next. These company's know miners are desperate so now pay is half literally half of what is was just a short five years ago. Now theres no where left to go. Our states most abundant resource is being taken away. Coal is the backbone of our economy. I went to put in an application at our local McDonalds two months ago and i was told sorry we had to cut back not enough business. Tell me that is not proof of the trickle down effect…so now he has completed his cdl classes. Compliments of the umwa career center. I am so grateful for this don't get me wrong. This will provide him with a job that's endless as long as he is willing to leave his family for at least a week at a time…..what the hell are our elected leaders doing for this to happen? I want to be able to kiss my husband goodnight, to know that he will make it to our sons football games, and birthday parties and cookouts with the family and watch our daughter grow up into a lady. The only way for that happen is for someone to fight for our miners jobs back. It may not seem important to the politicians in the country and this state that we call home. But it is to me, my family, and the rest of the mining families throughout this country who don't want to be forced to make the hard decisions we have been asked to in the last few years…..
Ashley, we are sorry for your husband's loss of his job. One thing we would like to say though is we can't make this a union versus non-union or labor versus management issue. The companies are struggling now themselves. There are so many that are either bankrupt or going to go bankrupt. Their stocks have lost 99 percent of their value in just a couple of years. They are closing mines trying to stay in business. Some may be taking advantage and cutting pay, but we have to fight this together or we will ALL lose.
Just know that we are doing ALL we can to make it better — to protect those jobs we have left and get those we have lost back. I won't tell you it will happen, but I will tell you we won't rest until we have done everything we can.

Cardinal Orlando Quevedo of Cotabato is calling on Christians to support the proposed creation of an autonomous Muslim region in the southern Philippines, saying it will address "historical injustices" committed against the people of Mindanao.
He said it was unfortunate that many Christians in the region want to reject the law that aims to facilitate the creation of a new political entity for the Moro people.
A plebiscite is scheduled in Mindanao on Jan. 21 to ratify the Bangsamoro Organic Law that expands the present Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
The law, signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in July last year, will give the region greater fiscal autonomy, and a stronger regional government, parliament, and justice system.
The region will comprise the provinces of Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, Basilan, Maguindanao, and Lanao del Sur.
To be added to the region are six towns in Lanao del Norte province, 39 villages in Cotabato province, as well as the cities of Isabela and Cotabato, subject to the approval of voters in these areas in the referendum.
While he supports the creation of the new region, Cardinal Quevedo said most Christians in Mindanao are against the proposal because of "deep bias" and "general prejudices" against Muslims.
He said there was nothing for them to be afraid of as the creation of a region for the Moro people would restore their identity, territory and sovereignty.
He noted that instead of claiming the whole of Mindanao, the Moro people "are to have some self-determination in the core territory of the present [autonomous region]."
Cardinal Quevedo also said that the rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, has been discussing with Christians on the establishment of "settler communities" for non-Muslims in the proposed region.

The cardinal, who will retire as a voting member of the College of Cardinals in March, expects the Muslim population to support the creation of the new region.
He said he is encouraging people to "vote based on informed choice on the merits and demerits of the Bangsamoro Organic Law."

During that time, Shackelford garnered national recognition as a constitutional scholar and a leading figure in the fight for religious liberty in America.

In 2011, he was named one of the 25 greatest Texas lawyers of the past quarter-century by Texas Lawyer. He also received the prestigious William Bentley Ball Award for Life and Religious Freedom Defense for pioneering work protecting religious freedom.
A true visionary, Shackelford has guided First Liberty Institute to fulfill the mission he has had for the company from the beginning. And he's still far from finished.

In addition to opening its newest office in the nation's capital, First Liberty is also fighting a record number of cases that are on their way to the U.S. Supreme Court in just this year alone.
"The cases we have pending at the Supreme Court could affect religious freedom for an entire generation," added Shackelford. "This year will be critical for religious liberty in America and I'm excited that First Liberty is taking part in what is a truly historic moment for our nation."
