At SHIN Wellness we offer Homeopathy as a service to help you on your path to health.
Samuel Hahnemann, a physician from Germany, is the father of Homeopathic Medicine. He created this now global medical system in the late 1700's and through extensive clinical experience and research as well as the physicians who have followed him, the work has been expanded exponentially.
Homeopathy is an entire system of medicine that is based on the "Law of Similars". This is the philosophy that substances that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can cure a sick person with similar symptoms. The treatments given are called remedies and each remedy is individualized for the person and set of symptoms. Each remedy is considered a stimulus for the body to begin to heal itself and it is believed that given the right stimulus one can rid themselves of virtually any disease or condition. The remedy is diluted and diluted until only the imprint of the stimulus remains which is what is thought to make it not only so powerful but also so safe. These remedies are only made from completely natural sources and there are no routine prescriptions in Homeopathy.
Homeopathy is precise. There are no routine prescriptions in homeopathy. Each homeopathic remedy is chosen to stimulate healing in each patient's unique constitution. The homeopath will interview the patient for up to two hours so that she can understand the state of health of the patient. Because illness represents a disharmony of the whole person, the interview will focus on physical, emotional and mental levels as well as family history. The homeopathic treatment is then perfected until the prescription is chosen, which catalyzes a fundamental improvement in that person's state of health and well-being.
Homeopathy is safe Under the care of a well-trained homeopath, homeopathic remedies are safe and without harmful side effects. They are thoroughly and scientifically tested on healthy human volunteers.
Homeopathic treatment is deep-acting and long-lasting Homeopathic treatment resolves the underlying cause of disease so that permanent restoration of health follows. Homeopaths aim to help their patients achieve freedom from limitations in their lives. Ideally, the patient will reach a level of health where he or she no longer depends on any medicine or therapy. People who have had homeopathic treatment generally find that their state of health and well-being has improved. They are better able to resist infection and have a greater sense of stability and individual purpose in life.
Homeopathy is a treatment that can be used in so many different conditions of the body and mind, and due to its gentle and safe nature and can be used for men, women, and children of all ages.
Common conditions Homeopathy is used for are anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, neurological disorders, migraines, headaches, acute colds/flu, difficult skin disorders, eating disorders, high blood pressure and many many more.

Q: import error with youtube_dl after compilation with pyinstaller So I recently embedded youtube_dl into my python 3 project which all works very nicely.
The problem occurs when I compile that into an exe file using:
c:/python332/scripts/pyinstaller myprogram.py
It compiles fine, but upon running the exe I get an error similar to this:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\python332\python.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This specific error occurs if I go to the directory on command line, enter py -3 then try to import youtube_dl.
Interestingly, if I go to a different directory and then run py -3 and import youtube_dl it works perfectly fine (if the load time is a whee bit slow).
As extra information, for some reason pyinstaller is including both python27.dll and python37.dll, when I would have thought it would only want python37.dll?
Looking in the dist folder of the program I can see that a msvcr90.dll is present.
I am wondering is this some sort of compilation clash where pyinstaller is mixing python 2 and python  3 together?
Is there a known fix for this?
thanks.

This is our entry in Cee's Which Way Photo Challenge – July 7, 2017.
As we planned our trip to Greece last year, we decided to take our own GPS navigation device to guide us on the roads and updated our maps accordingly. The GPS unit had just as much trouble as we did in pronouncing Greek road names; sometimes it gave up when confronted with a long difficult name and just spoke the word "road." While Greece has been modernizing its highway system extensively, there are still some twisty mountainous roads. We were on one of those as we drove to Meteora. This is what the GPS unit showed when we were a few miles outside a small town. (Notice that the speed limit on this road is 90 km/h (about 54 mph) while we are achieving 46 km/h (about 28 mph)).

Transport Infrastructure: Demand and Delivery
Event NY-LON
Courtesy of New London Architecture
London is powering ahead of New York in its transport infrastructure provision with projects like Crossrail, high speed rail and underground upgrades set to have a transformative effect on the city. But despite New York having struggled to find the money and political will to get modernisation onto its programme, the UK capital is still trailing behind in its quest to sort out its aviation capacity shortfall.
These were some of the issues to emerge in the latest in NY-LON, the series of live NLA link-ups between New York and London property and design professionals, held on this side of the Atlantic at KPF's offices in Covent Garden last week.
The subject in hand this time was infrastructure, with AECOM's Christopher Choa detailing the way that transport 'creates the city for us', having gone through many waves of evolution from ships, to railways, to roads, to aviation. London and New York, he said, have traded and exchanged for centuries, but there are some interesting comparisons to draw upon from today in the two cities. London's urban area at 607 square miles is twice as big as that of New York, with higher densities equating to shorter commuting times. London is also doing relatively well in the Mercer index, which ranks cities by the urban infrastructure they can boast, coming in at 7th place as opposed to NY's 30th, with Singapore at the top of the tree. London also has three times as many buses (and pubs) as New York and more funds committed to the underground, spurred on by the Olympics. Moving forward, Crossrail will have a catalytic effect, with extraordinary opportunities represented by the stations and Crossrail 2 offering similar potential, north-south. High speed rail is London's big strategic connectivity to Europe, and because of it, 80% of travel between London and Paris now goes by rail, with HS2 another rail scheme with benefits for London's connectivity.
But aviation is perhaps the critical issue facing the capital right now, said Choa, although people have been worrying about this since the 1940s and 1950s. With Heathrow at 99.1% capacity, an independent commission will make recommendations for a new hub airport – New York has two to London's one, despite having fewer annual passengers and international destinations – but probably not until after the elections.
Jeffrey M Zupan from the Regional Plan Association said that New York's transit system is also quite old, with precious little built since the 1930s, and 93% of highways are 40 years or older. Good things happening recently include the fact that New York has stopped growing its highway traffic, with vehicle miles of travel over the Hudson River having gone down. Subway ridership has leapt, partially due to the economic rebirth of the city, reliability of the service, and drop in crime. But although the mayor has done an 'extraordinary job for city streets' the MTA is 'terribly underfunded on capital programme, with a shortfall of $10bn or worse, meaning 'we're at dire straits.' With no money for the capital programme there will be sacrifices made elsewhere, most likely in expansion.
Even those schemes which have come forward have been slow in the making. The Second Avenue Subway, first proposed in the 1920s, saw its construction stopped in early 1970s and the first phase of less than two miles scheduled for completion in 2016. Another scheme, East Side Access – to bring Long Islanders to job concentration in east Midtown – was first proposed in 1967 but was also stopped in the early 1970s and it is hoped will open now in 2019, although having increased in cost by three times. There is a lack of political support for new sources of funding, while ageing assets are in need of repair and replacement. 'We're dependent on a process that is removed, often, from what the system needs', said Zupan. Although there is the 'daily miracle' of moving seven million people a day through the system, he added, 'we need to tear down some of these walls in agencies that are creating arterial sclerosis in our system.'
The session also included an observation from Westminster's Graham King that when the real history of London of the last 20 years is written up we will see how close to being closed down some of our infrastructure systems had been, or else been deemed unsafe. And from the GLA's Fiona Fletcher-Smith how, despite New York's 'downbeat' presentation, London was 'pinching ideas' including that for a High Line Park in east London. The key lesson for New York from London, however, was the system it uses to bring together transport issues with investment decisions and the planning process. 'It's a fairly one-word answer', she said. 'The mayor'.

Download our Mechitza Portfolio in PDF Format.
Mechitza dividers are tradition in Orthodox synagogues, providing a separation between someone praying and many possible distractions. The Mechitza symbolically represents ones yearning to connect to G-d without any distractions standing in the way of our prayers. Coming to Shul is not the equivalent of going on a date with a spouse or friend. This is the foundation why every Orthodox community around the world maintains the practice of Davening with the use of a Mechitza (a partition between the men and women).
This project was a first for Artisans, design, construction, and implementation brought on several challenges to meet the client's requirements. When a Mechitza is broken down to its technical specifications, a Mechitza acts as a one way transparent divider. One side is to provide as much viewing area as possible with the best clarity. The other side provides a blank surface, obscuring the view through as best possible.
A Mechitza is not meant to make anyone feel uncomfortable; on the contrary the objective of separation is to allow an individual to release themselves as a true and singular person. Carrying this philosophy into a physical design, Artisans set out to create a warm comfortable feature of the Shul.
"In orthodox synagogues, a mechitza (divider) is used to separate men worshippers from women worshippers so that each will not be distracted from their prayers. The women's section of the synagogue is called ezrat nashim in Hebrew. It is believed that the custom of separating between sexes in the synagogue is derived from the Temple, which existed 3000 years ago. The sexes are generally not separated by a mechitza in Reform and Conservative synagogues."
The basic construction of this project is simple enough; they are mahogany frames and panels with lots of moldings. The actual one way viewing is created by an angled screening, black on one side while painted white on the other side. A light fixture in each section illuminates the white side, creating a glare and obscuring vision through the material, while allowing a clear view through the black side. The function is much like a one way mirror.
As congregations grow and encourage new membership, the Mechitza becomes an even greater integral part to prayer. Our research into the traditions and expectations surrounding the Mechitza will support our design work to integrate a functional, esthetic, yet traditional design.
The integration of bookshelves, prayer book railings, removable sections for weddings, acoustic panels, emergency exit doors, and other features are just a few ideas to integrate your Mechitza into the sanctuary.
Contact Artisans of the Valley to commission the design and installation of a new custom Mechitza for your congregation.

Okina Mask, Noh Theatre Performance
Mask O
Title: Okina - Noh Mask of an Old Man
Date: 19th century
Carved and painted hinoki (cypress). Polychrome pigments and gesso over wood. Well-worn with external areas showing aged wood patina. Dust, cracks and scratches throughout the surface. Chipped pigment in some areas. Eyebrows and beard from natural fibres and horse hair. Seal on the back. With fabric pouch.
Evolving under shogunate patronage from the 14th century, Noh theatre became an exclusive samurai pastime. In the Tokugawa period (1603 – 1868), commoners were forbidden to see it. Performed by male actors wearing masks, Noh dramas fall into five categories, plays about gods, women, insanity, revenge and demons.
Performed against a painted backdrop of a pine tree and with minimal props, Noh features lavish silk brocade costumes and exquisitely fashioned wooden masks. The masks are designed and crafted with great subtlety. They can appear to dramatically transform simply from the alterations of light and shadow as the actors move their heads. The pace is hypnotically slow, but the movement delivers great dramatic power.
Noh masks are carved from a single piece of wood painted with natural pigments. The mask represents age, gender and social ranking of human or nonhuman beings like animals, demons or divine creatures. The Noh mask is used to emphasize and stylize the facial expressions which are accompanied with adequate body language and movement in order to stimulate the imagination of Noh play audiences.
Okina
Among all Noh masks, the Okina (old man) mask is considered particularly sacred and has been at times treated as the embodiment of god, bringing longevity and prosperity to families. The mask is the oldest of the Noh repertoire and represents an older male with long white beard expressing wisdom. The rounded eyebrows and the separated chin makes it different from the others. The lower jaw is attached from the main mask with a cord. The formation of the eyes is in open slits, rather than sculpted eyeballs and boring a hole for the pupil. The abstract pattern of the deeply carved wrinkles around the forehead and cheeks on okina masks contrasts sharply with the realistic portrayal typical of other Noh masks of old men.
Noh masks have long been an integral part of Japan's religious rituals, festivals and theatre. They represent historical figures and spirits referred to as kami, which have their origins in Japan's indigenous beliefs. Traditionally, the mask symbolised 'possession', transforming the wearer into the kami or its human incarnation.

Goríčko naréčje je poleg markovskega (dolinskega), soboškega in ravenskega eno izmed štirih glavnih narečij prekmurščine, ki jih govorijo prebivalci na območju Slovenije (na Madžarskem je v uporabi še porabsko narečje). Goričko narečje je v uporabi na območju Goričkega, severno od Cankove. Glede na posamezna zemljepisna področja ima še več jezikovnih različic:
bomečko (bömečko) goričko podnarečje (okolica Petrovcev)
vidonsko goričko podnarečje (okolica Vidoncev)
trtovsko goričko podnarečje (okolica Trdkove)
kuzmiško (küzmiško) goričko podnarečje (okolica Kuzme)
slavečarsko goričko podnarečje (okolica Gornjih in Dolnjih Slavečev)
posebno podnarečje goričkega narečja je tudi porabščina, ki jo govorijo Slovenci v Porabju.

Značilnost bomečkega podnarečja je pogosta uporaba fonema »dž« (npr. »dža« = jaz, »džajce« = jajce, itd.). Zato govorce tega podnarečja imenujemo tudi džajaši. Za vidonsko podnarečje je značilna pogosta zamenjava fonema »o« z »a« (npr. »Mate kance pa gambe?« = Ali imate konce (niti) in gumbe?). Za trtovsko podnarečje je značilna uporaba goričkih starožitnic, zato so nekateri izrazi popolnoma drugačni od ostalih jezikovnih različic (npr. »čipincl« = motovilec, »čapalejskati« = hoditi po blatu), tako kot v kuzmiškem podnarečju beseda »črejbli« = čevlji.

V preteklosti je bila značilnost vseh goričkih podnarečij v tem, da so ženske v 1. osebi ednine uporabljale moški slovnični spol (»govor na moškega«, npr. namesto jaz bom šla »ge mo šla« = jaz bom šel »ge mo šou«). Danes se tak način uporablja le še med starejšimi prebivalkami.

"Citizen Kane" is one of those movies which because of its high profile anyone who is serious about movies should watch. But it is also a movie which is hard to review when it is over 70 years since it came out because it is not easy to grasp what is so special about it and why this old movie is still held in such high esteem. It is why there are many who watch Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" for the first time struggle to see why it is held in such high esteem as the face has cinema has changed vastly since he made it and now it appears to some just an old overrated movie.
The thing about "Citizen Kane" is that from the storyline point of view it is good but not amazing; the story of a man who had it all and ended up alone is not that special. But that story seems so much more because of the way the movie opens as we enter a foggy Xanadu, Kane's sprawling mansion cloaked in haze as a single light goes out high up in his impressive, gothic abode and we hear Charles Foster Kane say his final words "Rosebud". It immediately leads us to want to know more, how Kane built such a place with a zoo and golf course, how he ended up dying a lonely life and more importantly the significance of "Rosebud". It makes this straight forwards story of Kane's life more intriguing as we try to unravel the riddle of "Rosebud" in time with a journalist who is also seeking the significance of this random name.
So here we have the story of Kane who built himself a media empire splashing his wealth to turn a small newspaper into the biggest in the States. We also encounter his marriage, his affair, his dalliance with politics which all contributed to his downfall and reclusive lifestyle. Now part of what makes this so interesting is because it is loosely based on the life of media mogul William Randolph Hearst, although merged with a few other successful men. But the interest comes from the fact that Hearst went out of his way to try and stop "Citizen Kane" from being released and did his best to discredit Welles which may be why he never managed to achieve the acclaim again.
So this makes "Citizen Kane" an interesting moving but to be honest the basic storyline of a man who has it all and ends up lonely is still not that original. What is is the style, the cinematography and right from the word go as we enter Xanadu right through the movie there are scenes, camera angles, use of light and shade which were different to what had been done before. Not only that the use of camera angles and so on would go on to influence film makers for years to come and in fairness the look of "Citizen Kane" is still mesmerising. There are so many times that a low camera angle focusing up really delivers a sense of power that it is not just style for the sake of it, it helps establish the strengths of the characters and how they change. Throw in the make up department who aged and made actors look younger and visually it is still an astonishing movie even more so when you consider this was Orson Welles not only making his directional debut in a feature movie but also as debut as an actor.
That leads me on to the next piece of the jigsaw as to why "Citizen Kane" is so good and it is the actors. Orson Welles is simply magnificent as Charles Foster Kane, taking us from youthfully full of himself to an old man tired of the world outside of his kingdom, he breathes life into this man to make him real and likeable. But Welles is not alone and the likes of Joseph Cotten, Everett Sloane and Dorothy Comingore all deliver characters rather than performances which makes it so easily to get immersed into what is going on rather than watching as an outside observer.
What this all boils down to is that "Citizen Kane" is still a great movie for so many reasons from the fact this was Orson Welles debut to the brilliant use of camera angles and light to build the story. But I can understand why for some its significance is lost because to appreciate the cinematography and how it would influence cinema to come you need to know cinema from before 1941 to appreciate that originality.

Types of Fabric Weaving Looms
FabricWeaving
Woven fabric manufacturing machinery
Weaving is the process of making fabrics by interlacing the threads lengthwise and widthwise commonly known as warp and weft in a regular order. The operation is performed in a machine called a loom. Two sets of yarns are interlaced, almost always at right angles to each other. One, called the warp, runs lengthwise in the loom; the other, called the filling, weft or woof, runs crosswise. The raising and lowering sequence of warp threads in various sequences give many possible weave structures.

History of Looms
Development in Hand Looms
Developments in Shuttle Looms
Shuttleless Looms
Types of Looms
The weaving is a process of formation of fabric with interlacement of two or more sets of yarns using a stable machine called loom. Human beings have started using the woven fabrics since the dawn of history.

If we exclude the Stone Age period, we may conveniently say the history of civilization is also, to some extent, the history of weaving. Though primitive civilizations used coarser threads to make fabrics which were crude and coarse, there are references to fine fabrics made from the filament of silk in China.
Silk was one of the most important products in China 4000 years ago.
Two women at a loom, passing their shuttle back and forth Attic black-figured jug, c.550 BC, attributed to the Amasis Painter. the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fletcher Fund, 1931
In India too, there existed some of the finest hand-woven fabrics. There are some references in Tamil literature, that the great poet, Thiruvalluvar was a hand loom weaver.
It is still not certain when the weaving process was introduced to human society. It is clear from many historical records that weaving originated long before the time of Jesus Christ. In England, the major shift from agriculture to the woolen industry came in the 14th century.
The earlier version of power-loom was run by two men. After the steam engine and cast iron in early 1800, great attention was paid to increasing productivity of the machine. To help achieve the increase in productivity, William Radcliffe patented a dressing frame in 1803 for sizing and drying the warp threads prior to winding on to a weavers beam.
Traditional looms then were stopped every few minutes in order to replace the empty weft pirns or cop in the shuttle and this limited the number of looms. An English man who emigrated to America and worked for the Draper Corporation completed an automatic weft transfer system which replaced the weft pirn in the shuttle without slowing or stopping the loom in 1889.
The dynamic problems created by the picking and checking mechanism and the inherent process of pirn winding for shuttle looms had encouraged the loom makers to develop alternative means of weft insertion in which heavy shuttle is not projected forwards and backward across the width of the loom. It is customary to refer these looms as shuttleless looms.
Loom type
Method of inserting weft yarn
Looms with shuttles The weft yarn is inserted through the back-and-forth motion of the
shuttle. Great all purpose loom. Vibration and noise are severe problems and
high-speed operation is difficult.
Looms without shuttles Gripper loom A small metal gripper shuttle grasps the weft yarn and inserts it. A very versatile loom, but it is noisy and there is a limit to its
operation at high speed.
Rapier looms Two bands at the center of the fabric receive and passes on the weft yarn. The catch method is the most popular method and is further broken down into two types, the band method, and the pole method. A very versatile loom, but it is noisy and there is a limit to its
Water jet looms A jet of water is used to insert the weft yarn. High-speed operation is possible. Since water is used the only filament
yarns (synthetic fabrics) can be woven.
Air jet loom A jet of air is used to insert the weft yarn. High-speed operation is possible. At present this is the most
a popular type of loom and its functions are excellent overall.
Shuttle Loom
The shuttle loom is the oldest type of weaving loom which uses a
shuttle which contains a bobbin of filling yarn that appears through a hole
situated in the side. The shuttle is batted across the loom and during this
process, it leaves a trail of the filling at the rate of about 110 to 225 picks per
minute (ppm). Although very effective and versatile, the shuttle looms are slow
and noisy. Also, the shuttle sometimes leads to abrasion on the warp yarns and at
other times causes thread breaks. As a result, the machine has to be stopped for tying the broken
yarns.
Shuttleless loom
Many kinds of shuttleless looms are used for weaving such as Projectile
Looms; Rapier Looms; Water Jet Looms, and Air Jet Looms.
Projectile Loom
A weaving machine in which the weft thread is gripped by jaw(s) fitted in a projectile, which is then propelled through the shed. It has a small hook-like device that grips the end of the filling yarn.It is sometimes called missile loom as the picking action is done by a series of small bullet like projectiles which hold the weft yarn and carry it through the shed and then return empty.
All the filling yarns are inserted from the same side of the loom. A special tucking
device holds the ends of the wefts in place at the edge of the cloth to form the selvage. This loom needs smooth, uniform yarn which is properly sized in order to reduce friction. Projectile loom can produce up to 300 ppm and is less noisy than the shuttle loom.
Rapier Loom
Rapier looms are machines in which the means of carrying the weft through the shed is fixed at the end of a rigid rod or in a flexible ribbon, this being positively driven.
A rapier machine may have a single rapier to carry the weft across the full width or a single rapier operating bilaterally with a centrally located bilateral weft supply, or two rapiers operating opposites sides of the machines.
Rapier loom comes in many types. Early models of it use one long rapier device that travels along the width of the loom to carry the weft from one side to the other. Another type of rapier loom has two rapiers, one on each side of the loom. They may be rigid, flexible or telescopic.
One rapier feeds the weft halfway through the sheds of warp yarns to the arm on the other side, which reaches in and carries it across the rest of the way.
Rapier looms are very efficient and their speed ranges from 200 to 260 ppm. These looms can manufacture a variety of fabrics ranging from muslin fabric to drapery fabrics and even upholstery fabrics.
In water jet loom, a water jet is propelled across the shed with the force, that takes the filling yarn to the other side.
In it, a pre-measured length of weft yarn is carried across the loom by a jet of water. These looms are very fast with speeds up to 600 ppm and very low noise. Also, they don't
place much tension on the filling yarn.
As the pick is tensionless, very high quality of warp yarns are needed for efficient operation. Also, only yarns that are not readily absorbent can be used to make fabrics on water jet looms such as filament yarn of acetate, nylon, polyester, and glass. However, it can produce very high-quality fabrics having a great appearance and feel.
In air jet loom, a jet of air is projected across the shed with the force, that takes the filling yarn to the other side ie. a jet of air is used to propel the weft yarn through the shed at speeds of up to 600 ppm. Uniform weft yarns are needed to make fabrics on this loom.
Also, heavier yarns are suitable for air jet looms as the lighter fabrics are very difficult to control through the shed. However, too heavy yarns also can't be carried across the loom by an air jet. In spite of these limitations, air jet loom can produce a wide variety of fabrics.
These looms are particularly used for making tubular fabrics
rather than flat fabrics. A shuttle device in it circulates the weft in a shed formed around the
machine. A circular loom is primarily used for bagging material.
Multiphase loom
The multiphase loom can form many different sheds at different places, thereby enabling insertion of a number of filling yarns, one behind the other.
Magazine loom
This is the type of automatic loom in which the loom takes the empty bobbin from the shuttle and automatically replaces it with a new, full bobbin into the same shuttle. This exchange is made without stopping the loom. In this case, the weaver is restricted to one shuttle and one color warp yarn ( called battery type). Another new type can use four colors in the warp.
Ribbon loom
This is the type of loom used for making narrow fabrics.
Needle loom
This is the type of shuttleless weaving machine in which the weft is drawn from a stationary supply and introduced into the shed in the form of a double-pick by a weft inserter needle. The weft is retained at the opposite selvedge by the action of knitting or by the introduction of a locking thread from a separate supply.
Swivel loom
This is the type of loom meant for narrow fabric such as ribbons and tapes, the picking is done by a special type of small shuttle controlled by a swivel.
Box loom
A loom having two or more shuttles used for weaving fabrics containing weft yarns different as to size, twist or color.

Clemson Women's Tennis
Josipa Bek, Keri Wong Claim USTA/ITA Carolina Regional Doubles Title
CHAPEL HILL, NC – Clemson junior women's tennis players Josipa Bek and Keri Wong have claimed the 2010 USTA/ITA Carolina Regional Doubles Championship in Chapel Hill, NC. The tandem defeated Tar Heels Shinnan Featherston and Lauren McHale, 8-3, on their home court for the victory.
In the singles finals, Bek fell to UNC's Zoe DeBruycker in straight sets. Bek was the two-time defending champion in the event, and the top overall seed this year.
"Today was another strong finish for our Tigers," said head coach Nancy Harris. "Keri and Josipa played a solid match against UNC earning the Carolina Regional Championship title. Our girls have incredible hands and play some of the best doubles in the country. They are really fun to watch and I am excited for Clemson to have another great doubles team. We are looking forward to the challenge of the National Championships at Flushing Meadows in New York in the next 10 days and will start preparing this week."
With the win, Bek and Wong, ranked fifth nationally, will travel to Flushing, NY for the ITA National Indoor Championships from Nov. 4-7.
The two reached the Finals of the ITA All-American on October 10, and were the top overall seed in the Regional event, which is held indoors. The duo has won nine of their last ten matches overall, with five of those coming against ranked opponents.
Last season, Bek and Ina Hadziselimovic lost in the regional finals, but the new pairing was able to hold up through six rounds in one of the toughest regions in the country. The Carolina Region includes all collegiate teams in North and South Carolina.
Among the top teams are North Carolina, UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, Furman, South Carolina, and Clemson, as well as 13 of the nation's top 100 singles players.
Bek is still under consideration for a Wild Card spot in the National tournament, as she is currently ranked 13th in the nation in the ITA Singles Poll.
"Jo played such a hard fought match. I admire so much her courage and her will to win when she competes. She never gives up and plays to the last point with all her heart. DeBruycker of UNC had better depth today, but Jo will work even harder now I am certain. She is a true champion and I am so proud of her performances here in the singles. What a Tiger; she is quite a champ."

Moven Announces Partnership with NYDIG to Offer Bitcoin to Digital Banks
By: Moven via PR Newswire
January 13, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Movencorp, Inc., a leading provider of smart banking technologies to promote financial wellness, today announced a partnership with NYDIG, a leading institutional technology and financial services firm dedicated to Bitcoin. Moven will leverage NYDIG's best-in-class white label digital asset platform to provide turn-key Bitcoin products and services, such as the ability to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin, savings accounts that pay interest in Bitcoin, and a Bitcoin credit card rewards program. This partnership is the first of its kind in the industry and further cements Moven's role as the leader in providing financial health technology for banks and financial institutions in the United States.
As a result of the collaboration, Moven will be adding a suite of Bitcoin-related products to its existing "bank in a box" services, allowing banks and financial institutions to gain wallet share and drive significant incremental revenue opportunities. The offering will be powered by NYDIG's world-class digital asset platform for secure custody, execution, and reporting services that meets the highest regulatory, audit, and governance standards.
Kesh Talwar, CEO and CRO at Moven, said of the collaboration, "The growth of fintech platform and of cryptocurrencies have both been striking, but the two worlds have largely been separate. Consumers trust the financial services companies with whom they already have a relationship. The data is clear: 17% of PayPal's users bought Bitcoin through them in the first month; consumers trust financial services companies. Now, through this partnership, Moven can bring this opportunity to all in an incredibly streamlined fashion."
Patrick Sells, Head of Bank Solutions at NYDIG, said, "We are fortunate to be able to partner with a company like Moven. Kesh and Brett King have consistently been able to predict industry trends and to lead the charge. NYDIG's research shows that over 80% of Americans who own bitcoin today would rather hold it with their banks, and that over 85% would rather buy it through their banks. As a former banker, this blew me away. Many banks have felt left behind with the rise of fintech, but today, banks have the opportunity to capitalize on the fact that their customers strongly prefer them to be in the lead when it comes to Bitcoin."
Brett King, Founder and Executive Chairman of Moven, added, "Moven was built to be the leader in helping provide banks with a digital solution that offered best-in-class financial wellness. This partnership with NYDIG and integration of Bitcoin into our platform will provide banks with the ability to offer Bitcoin services in a matter of weeks, and to deliver consumers the one-stop-shop that they want."

My first visit to Geylang was during a hot and sunny day, and I was not impressed by it. It changed during a recent night visit to the King.
Few months back, when I talked to one my friend about my lack of entertainment in Geylang, he started laughing and told me that as a born and raised Singaporean he could share his keys to open some doors to the dark nights and bright lights of Geylang, but he recommended me to be careful and not feed the animals I might encounter during my night safari visit there.
Taking food as an excuse for a nigh visit to Geylang, I accepted his dinner invitation, but requested for a nigh version that time. As soon as we arrived there I quickly realized that I had previously not only visited the wrong side of the place, but also at the wrong time. One side of Geylang is a large and quiet residential area, but on the other side you find hourly rented room and lively sidewalk talks, but it all happen at night, never during the day (because the is the time people from the profession sleep, stupid!).
What struck me the most during this exploration of the local night fauna was that like in the Savanna, animals gather at night around refreshment and food point. An obvious observation when you think that if you let your instincts talking, you might as well let your stomach having a share of the fun as well. I noticed that a man on an empty stomach has always a too predominant conversation toward food and will not let his other animal aspirations resurface, so if you propose a large portfolio of services including paid visit to human counterpart coupled with details acquisition of dishes in the same place, don't expect nothing less than a profusion of food style and numerous cheap restaurants over the long run. That's probably why Geylang has been rated as one of the most interesting food destination in Singapore, with its late restaurants and fresh seafood platters.
Aside from the delicious food we had that night, I was really impressed by the number of people gathering around the durian stools. In almost no space at all, durian seller managed to propose a wide selection of fruits half on the sidewalk, half on the road. And like hundred craving butterflies crashing on a lantern, people were attracted by the durian seller bright lights and unequivocal fruit smell. Cars stopped, windows were rolled down and prices were asked in a matter of second, taking advantage of the traffic light.
If the price was set right, the negotiation could begin. The durian man dressed with a glove in one hand a knife in the other, cut a small incision in this round and spiky object of trade. It has been said to me that experience aficionados could choose Durian by just smelling and looking at the inner color of the fruit. When you think that the fruit can grow up to 30 cm long and 15 cm in diameter, typically weighs one to three kilograms, and its shape ranges from oblong to round, the color of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species, it's a long training to have.
The Durian flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong and penetrating even when the shell is intact. I have not found any comparison so far in my catalogue of smell to describe it, but I can guaranty you that the smell evokes always a reaction from deep appreciation to intense disgust, never ignorance. The odor is so strong and persistent that the fruit is banished from hotels, taxi and any public transportation in Singapore.
Board signs above the fruit usually indicate the quality and the origin of the delicacies dessert. Look for a D at least and a maybe a double digit number if you like strong taste and smell, although if you prefer exotic travel ask instead for a Mao Shan Wang (Cat Mountain King). I am not too sure who had decided to categorize the Durian family with such unappealing names but I will be alone to start a new trend and give them new fresh label. D24 was the reference by which bargainer were exposing themselves to stranger, and has been commonly recommended by endless taxi drivers in Singapore.
Don't be fooled by a fruit, Durian had become a reference in people's imagination with various quotes and proverbs in different languages across various South East Asian nations. It usually illustrates bad behaviors and strange habits that one can not let go off, but happy to entertain like a selfish pleasure.
Over my stay in Singapore many times I heard strange stories about sleeping safely under a Durian tree, or one can die from eating Durian together with whiskey, or can cause heatiness and sore throat, or the only place to have a safe durian experience is at Mr Goh Kwee Leng place. But as the famous proverb says that you should never trust a Durian Seller, I will not trust any Durian stories either, especially the one telling me that this is the best fruit on the planet.
On my way back home that night, a question popped in my mind: if Durian is the "King of Fruit", who is the Queen of Geyland then?

"The St Johns River Water Management District is committed to the environment and has specific "Green" initiatives. As part of the paper reduction program, we implemented the Employee Self Service Portal (ESSP) which eliminated the need to distribute paper copies of our direct deposits. We also store electronic images of all direct deposit notices, and other checks issued to vendors, employees and board members in our Document Management Storage System.
"Recently, we implemented an email notification for travel and other direct deposit notifications, which replaced the need for paper copies, staff time, and postage costs related to distributing these notices. We are pleased that MS Govern has worked closely with us to meet this commitment."
We're confident that once you experience the many ways ESSP can save your organization time and money, you won't ever want to go back to traditional paper processing-and you won't have to!
We are very excited to announce that we are integrating an extremely powerful and secure document management application called FileNexusTM (powered by Loris Technologies) with our Govern modules. This solution will save you time, money and help save the environment.
Most organizations have mission critical records spread across host systems, PCs, filing cabinets, email servers, microfilm and so on. Simply finding information when you need it can be a huge task - let alone keeping it secure and compliant to ever increasing regulations.
FileNexus takes all of that information, indexes and organizes it to your own unique needs and makes it instantly available to the desktop. Imagine having a single system that allows you to easily recall any record from any system, right from your desktop, thereby eliminating paper filing forever.
You can now access documents stored in FileNexus directly from within the Govern database. Applications for service, purchase orders, invoices, as well as employee applications, reviews and email correspondence are all available for immediate review and directly associated with the customer and account. Below are links to videos that show this integration in action.
Once a document is recalled within FileNexus, you can add global or personal notes, blackout sensitive data, highlight data, and more without ever altering the original. Then you can send the original document (with or without your edits) into workflows for approvals, and/or distributed via email, fax or print directly from your Govern screen.

1. Remember the optimism after the Orioles shook off a 1-5 start to win three out of four at Yankee Stadium? They've scored a total of 16 runs while going 1-6 since then. This offense has been downright painful to watch.
2. I don't dwell on strikeouts nearly as much as some, but the Orioles have recorded more hits than strikeouts in a game just once all season. That's astonishing. They had twice as many strikeouts (12) as hits (six) on Tuesday.
3. Andrew Cashner has provided everything the Orioles could have reasonably hoped for so far. Even after his rough debut, the right-hander has a 3.00 ERA with three quality starts on the young season. It's a shame he can't hit.
4. Much was understandably made about Cashner's career-worst 4.6 strikeouts per nine innings last season, but he's now struck out 21 batters in 24 frames. His 7.9 strikeouts per nine rate falls in line with where he was in 2015 and 2016. Missing bats hasn't been a problem for him.
5. I don't know what to say about Chris Davis. We've seen him go through poor stretches over the years, but the strikeouts are piling up — he has 10 on the road trip — and he's rarely even making hard contact to point to the shift as an obstacle. He's slugging .196.
6. Manny Machado is a special talent, but getting thrown out trying to advance to third with two outs in the fifth inning is inexcusable, especially with this offense. He's been in the majors too long to continue to make these types of baserunning blunders as frequently as he does.
7. Since his electric debut month upon being acquired from Tampa Bay at last year's trade deadline, Tim Beckham is batting .174 over his last 169 plate appearances dating back to last Sept. 1. His offense is a much bigger concern right now than his transition to third base.
8. Trey Mancini hit his second home run of the season and continues to do a commendable job in the leadoff spot with a .377 on-base percentage. Now, is there a way to clone him?
9. Adam Jones drove in a run and collected two hits to raise his season average to .236. His early-season struggles pale in comparison to several others, but the Orioles desperately need their leader to get going if they're going to climb out of this hole.
10. Considering his defense is the only thing keeping him on the field over Chance Sisco so far this season, Caleb Joseph simply must block the Mychal Givens wild pitch that led to the Tigers' final run.
11. After being promoted to the majors for his defense earlier in the day, Luis Sardinas committing a throwing error on his first opportunity was right in line with how this season has gone so far.
12. The Orioles have gone 58-89 since getting off to a 22-10 start last season. Buck Showalter's club has gone 12-32 since the start of last September. Yes, numerous players have come and gone, but Baltimore hasn't played an extended stretch of good baseball in a very long time now.

Dawn French Net Worth — The Comedian's Career Earnings
Bran Published On Fri Apr 10 2020 Modified On Fri Apr 10 2020
Find out all the details regarding the net worth of comedian, Dawn French.
When it comes to comedy, British actress, Dawn French is surely one of the all-time best in the whole industry. With almost four decades of active contribution in filmography, theatre, and television, the diva is quite an inspirational figure at the United Kingdom and worldwide. In fact, she bagged nomination for the BAFTA TV Awards on seven different occasions and won the BAFTA Fellowship with Jennifer Saunders as well.
The 62-year-old diva is quite settled in the industry be it with her starring roles in 'The Vicar of Dibley' or guest appearances at 'Home for Christmas' and ITV's 'Superstar'. Surprisingly, her personal life is equally big and dramatic like her professional one since she used to be married to fellow comedian, Lenny Henry until a divorce separated them apart. Today, she lives a blissful married life with second husband, Mark Bignell. So, without wasting much time, let us know how much net worth has the experienced actress accumulated till date?
Dawn French's Staggering $10 Million Net Worth
Working at the top of the British entertainment industry, whether it is music, television, movies or broadway, Dawn French got hands over all the perks such as massive fame and fortune. Specifically, she amasses a whopping net worth value of $10 million as of 2020. Kudos to her experience and expertise, the diva makes far more than $39.40, the average salary of an actress. Similarly, the broadway artist who previously featured in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'Smaller' earns around $59,540, the median theater actors pay in the United Kingdom.

Contrary to her primary profession, French also made a few appearances in several music videos such as Alison Moyet's 'Love Letters' and 'Whispering Your Name.' On the same token, the diva even appeared in a couple of 'Comic Relief' videos in the past as well, for the noble cause.
Besides music, the comedian is also into writing. Interestingly, she wrote a epistolary novel autobiography, named 'Dear Fatty', which was one of best-selling books in the time. In fact, she received a paycheck worth a whopping $1.8 million itself in advance for the writing in 2008. Back in 2017, she released her second book, named 'Me You A Diary.'

As a divorcee to fellow comedian, Lenny Henry, she received a significant sum as spousal support. French shared similar interests with her ex-husband as they both were comedians. Furthermore, Henry was equally worthy as well with a staggering wealth of $9 million as of April 2020.

The charismatic comedian, Dawn French knows how to do justice to her wealth since she lives a flashy life in her 40-yoom house at Fowey, Cornwall. Although, she first moved in at the Point Neptune House, built during the Napoleonic wars with ex-lover, Sir Lenny Henry and daughter Billie Henry. However, following the split up between the two, the former husband moved out. Later, she tied the knot with Mark Bignell in 2013, with whom she resides at the massive house today.

Following the move with her second spouse, French renovated the mansion to move on from her past as well. The lavish residence comprises of delightful decors, often spoilt by her pet dogs. Similarly, the geography of the house stands in front the Fowey River, which is a romantic setting for the married duo to spend their time away from the chaos of the world. The comedian even gave a tour of the house to her fans alongside her partner Jennifer Saunders, after revamping the house.
Dawn French into Charity and Philanthropy
Earning big bucks is one thing but the actress, Dawn French believes in the idea of giving back to the society. While she was married with Kenny, she used to be actively associated with the 'Comic Relief', the fundraising foundation for the poors through the help of comedians and events, founded by her husband itself. French used to feature in several videos made for the same cause with the firm.
Lenny Henry and Dawn French parted ways with a divorce in 2010.
Similarly, besides Comic Relief, she also supported the Cancer Research UK and Willow Foundation with several financial aids. Not just that, she associated herself with 'Elton John AIDS Foundation' to help the ones suffering the life-threatening disease. The musician also previously went through a hectic weight-loss journey for her hysterectomy operation.

Q: Using Pickle in Flask I recently moved some code I've been using successfully into a flask server. It has worked seamlessly until now off the server.
However, in the same directory, when trying to load a stored object using pickle, I get an ImportError. This happens in a function which runs when @app.before_first_request is called.
How could this change cause this? Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: It seems that Flask change the paths that are searched for imports, adding sys.path.append('./') to the beginning of my app's file fixed the problem.
