REBELLION IN SCOTLAND,
INTRODUCTORY.
He was a kind of nothing, titleless,
Till he had forged himself a name i the fire
Of burning Rome.
Coriolanus.
John GRAHAM, the hero of this narrative, was the elder son of Sir William Graham of Claverhouse in Forfarshire, a gentleman of moderate fora tune, but who boasted of a descent from the noble family of Montrose, and also from the royal house of Stuart, his ancestor William Lord Graham of Kincardine having married the Princess Mary, second daughter of King Robert III. Sir William Graham was himself so respectable a proprietor, as to have married into the noble family of Northesk. Lady Jean Carnegy, third daughter of John first Earl of Northesk, was the mother of the future Viscount of Dundee. The whole connections of the family were of what would now be called a decidedly Tory complexion ; that is, to say, they had exerted themselves in opposition to every innovatory attempt which had been made upon the institutions of their country, from the Reformation downwards.
Young Graham was educated, during the decade of 1660–70, at the University of St Andrews, where he distinguished himself so much by his abilities, and also by his zeal in favour of the established religion, that he was honoured with the particular notice and friendship of Archbishop Sharpe. He made considerable progress in a department of learning, the technical name of which, as then used in Scotland, bore a startling dissonance with the character he acquired in after life -the Humanities.' It was to mathematics, however, that he chiefly directed his attention; a branch of study wbich certainly promised to be of greater service to one who designed to become a soldier. It is perhaps worthy of remark, that in this propensity he was resembled by Napoleon. Buonaparte, who had some other points of character in common with him. Like Napoleon, Dundee was accustomed in youth to feed the desires of an ardent and romantic spirit with the wild narratives of the Highland bards; the only difference being, that the Scottish soldier drank his sentimental inflammation direct from its living recepa tacles, while the Italian could only receive it in
the colder form which was given to it by Macpherson. In addition to a fondness for Highland poetry, Dundee is said to have pored with rapture over the pages of Sallust, Nepos, and Plutarch. His mind probably acquired in this simple way, that bent towards high military enterprise, and that unbending principle of military honour, which have given his name, notwithstanding all the faults which attach to it, such a strong historical interest.?
It was Dundee's opinion, in choosing and entering upon his profession, that, in order to acquire a thorough knowledge of it, he ought to serve under different foreign powers, and in every gradation of rank. He accordingly acted, for some time, at the commencement of his career, as a volunteer in the French service. When the war with Holland was concluded, and a sort of friendship established between that country and England, on account of the Prince of Orange (nephew of the British monarch) becoming Stadtholder, Dundee transferred his services to the other side of the Rhone. Becoming a cornet in the Prince of Orange's own troop of guards, he had the good fortune, while fighting in that capacity at the battle of Seneffe, (1674), to save the life of his master, by rescuing him, and bringing him off upon his own horse. The command of a Scotch regiment in the Dutch service falling vacant soon after that event, Dundee applied for it; but the Prince, though perhaps anxious to requite the merit of his preserver, was obliged, by a pre-engagement, to refuse his request. He then resolved to serve no longer in Holland, but to return home, and offer his sword to his own sovereign, wbo was understood to require such services, on account of the turbulence of his Scottish subjects.
The Prince of Orange honoured him, at his de. parture, with a letter of recommendation to the Duke of York, in which there was an earnest request that he might be well provided for. The Duke having communicated this recommendation to King Charles, Dundee was soon after appointed to be captain of a regiment of borse, which was then in the process of being raised in Scotland, for the suppression of insurrections. There was something so pointed in the favour shown on this occasion to the young soldier, that we can scarcely wonder at the constancy with which he adhered ever after to the interests of his benefactors. The King was under the necessity of allowing the Duke of Lauderdale, his prime minister for Scotland, to fill up the commissions for the regiments then raised; his Grace probably making that a stipulation, for the purpose of providing for his own dependents. Charles demanded or retained only one exception ; and it was in favour of the friend and preserver of the Prince of Orange.
Dundee was then, (1677), let forth, with other adventurers, upon that crusade against the Whigs of the west of Scotland, which has procured bis name so much popular execration. There was something extremely unfortunate in this part of his history, and especially so far as his reputation with posterity was concerned. The people whom he was employed to check, were a set of pious and worthy persons ; originally, perhaps, sinning in the uncompromising vehemence with which they had conducted matters during the Civil War ; but now

Our History & ImpactTennessee Justice Center2020-11-17T08:54:04-05:00
25 YEARS OF SERVING TENNESSEANS
For over 20 years, the Tennessee Justice Center (TJC) has been standing with vulnerable Tennessee families and helping them access basic necessities of life. After Congress placed restrictions on legal services programs, effectively creating a two-tier justice system, community and bar leaders from all parts of our state and from every part of the political spectrum, came together to form TJC to fill the gap. You can read more about our co-founders Michele Johnson and Gordon Bonnyman here.
TJC has made an incredible impact for families from Memphis to Mountain City, for moms and children with special needs, for older adults and caregivers, for people with disabilities and those who need long-term care, and many, many more. We help our neighbors one-by-one to cut through red tape to access vital, sometimes life-saving services like health care and nutrition benefits, and then use what we learn to improve systems affecting many more. Whether in the courtroom, newspaper, or capital, TJC advocates for a state that reflects our communities' shared values, that protects the dignity and opportunity of every person, and that supports the health care and economic infrastructure on which all our communities depend.
in health care secured
unemployed workers able to eat
Tennesseans won right to appeal when HMO denies care
kids have improved access to care
single mothers gained employment
enrolled in affordable coverage by trainees
app built to share TJC's knowledge across the state (AskJane!)
Our clients inspire us and drive the work that we do. They are hardworking moms, advocating for their children with autism. They are caregivers of aging parents, finding one-on-one help to keep their independence in the community. They are parents who face losing everything they've built for their families after illness or injury. Every day, their courage and love and willingness to speak out for a better state for all of us is a privilege to witness. Watch some of them tell their stories below.
COURT VICTORIES
TJC uses legal tools to improve the lives of millions of Tennesseans and hold government accountable. Some of our legal successes include:
Winning tens of thousands of Tennesseans whose TennCare applications are delayed (some for many months) the right to appeal. (Wilson v. Gordon)
Securing and defending for decades appeal rights for individuals whose TennCare HMOs denied services ordered by their doctors. (Binta B. v. Gordon)
Winning extensive improvements to TennCare services for over 750,000 children, ensuring they had access to all medically necessary services ordered by their doctor. (John B. v. Emkes)
Ensuring that thousands of Tennesseans were granted notice and appeal rights when the State sought to terminate their TennCare eligibility. (Rosen v. Goetz)
Protecting the health and independence of older adults and people with disabilities by ensuring access to comparable services at home rather than a nursing home. (Newberry v. Goetz)
YEARS IN REVIEW
Stroll down memory lane and see what TJC was up to in past years by reading our year-end letters. See how much we've grown and how far we've come.

Infused with bonito flakes, kombu, and nutritional yeast, this Fortified Soy Sauce is an umami quintuple-threat from Best New Chef Jonathan Yao. At Kato in Los Angeles, Yao uses the sauce to make the broth of his Steamed Fish with Soy Broth. While you'll only need a couple of teaspoons of the sauce for the fish, we loved having it around to enrich marinades and noodle dishes.
Combine all ingredients in a medium heatproof glass bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Place over a medium saucepan of simmering water over medium-low. Cook 1 hour. Remove from heat. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Chill at least 8 hours. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids.
Premium Rishiri kombu, from Rishiri Island off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, can be ordered from toirokitchen.com. Use the wonderfully savory leftover Fortified Soy Sauce anywhere you'd use soy sauce—it also makes an excellent substitute for fish sauce.

The best way to subscribe to investigate papers over a subject matter?
What on earth is the importance of Study Paper Creating?
The issue is that when the full universe is described in these terms, there are an endless number of mathematical solutions which include all potential quantum mechanical outcomes and several other even more exotic possibilities. It's always feasible to reproduce one particular component of the universe perfectly employing another part. It is possible to also turn your quantum thinking into action because of IBM.
1 approach to ascertain the cosmological constant is using the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The point is that RNA emerged from the primordial soup as the very first molecule of life. For instance, you could die this afternoon because all of the oxygen molecules in your room might wind up in the wastepaper basket.
Metaphorical scaffolding appears to be a good way to get there. Many existing theories are so hard to test they are frequently thought to be untestable in the near future. He showed that black holes are not solely a bizarre theoretical idea but play an important part in the creation of the universe.
You understand the actual supply of your life, though you are conditioned to believe otherwise. Though there are a few successful outcome, scientists are still trying hard to think of a sophisticated model. The character of dark matter is currently among the best mysteries in science.
that I am able to even attempt to create sense of it makes it even more wondrous. Such a thinking is called a fine-tuning or naturalness argument.
Interactions between the players may begin now. Building a quantum computer isn't an easy endeavor. Space may be the same manner!
Just as there are lots of varieties of liquids, there are lots of varieties of consciousness, he states. Physicists have difficulties with large numbers. For a very simple system, the equation can be solved through an ordinary computer in a fair time, therefore it falls into class of computational problems called NP.
At the conclusion of this segment, Nothingness is brought back in the conversation. That's the notion of the multiverse. Nowadays though, contemporary cosmologists have started to feel our universe is only one spacetime continuum among many more.
Then, as soon as an observer makes the decision to measure and appear at which slit the bit of matter goes through, the wave of prospective paths collapses into a single path. The heat brought on by the internal pressure would be like that of our Sun.
A lot of people dismissed the LSND outcome, claiming that there has to be an error there. If nothing ever changed, then the idea of time would not have any meaning. The purpose of this test is nothing less than probing what's the essence of the reality we are living in.
I want to therefore earn a prediction. It is only a result of stripping away axioms until the theory gets ambiguous. This theory, since it's a theory of everything, is truly a theory of Creation.
This approach solves quite a few problems. This theory is the foundation for most digital communication. There might be a lot more applications in real life.
Quite simply, the observer can't be separated from the system which is being observed. Granularity usually means that everything in the universe consists of little parts of something. There's no known method to measure that, just because there's no way to assess the unobservable portion of our Universe.
What's needed, needless to say, is a crystal clear prediction from his theory that enables it to be tested experimentally. It is only a result of stripping away axioms until the theory gets ambiguous. In the example of string theory, it isn't merely the case there are enough constraints to construct the theory.
At the conclusion of this segment, Nothingness is brought back in the conversation. That's the notion of the multiverse. Therefore, LIGO can't tell us anything about the presence of gravitons.
The additional 6 or 7 dimensions may be compactified on a tiny scale, or our universe could possibly be localized on a dynamical object, called a brane. These white holes wouldn't emit any radiation, and since they are much more compact than a wavelength of light, they'd be invisible. It isn't just the speed of the quantum computer that's attractive.
Consciousness was not needed. Physicists have difficulties with large numbers. If you believe deeply about its meaning you realise that the idea of energy can be rather slippery.


In addition to the overview below, this resource contains links to the CPA toolkit, a CPA overview webinar, more resources on CPAs, and support for pharmacists services.
Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPAs) create formal practice relationships between pharmacists and prescribers. CPAs can benefit collaborative care delivery by identifying what functions – in addition to the pharmacist's typical scope of practice – are delegated to the pharmacist by the collaborating prescriber, under negotiated conditions outlined in the agreement.
While CPAs are not a prerequisite for collaborative care delivery, they can serve to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of collaborative care delivery. When used to their full potential, CPAs have the ability to increase access to care, expand available services to patients, increase the efficiency and coordination of care, and leverage pharmacists' medication expertise to complement the skills and knowledge of the other health care team members.
For example, CPAs can decrease the number of phone calls required to authorize refills or modify prescriptions, thus allowing each member of the health care team to complement the skills and knowledge of the other member(s), more effectively facilitate patient care, and improve patient outcomes.
Pharmacists looking to develop a collaborative practice agreement may need assistance figuring out where to start. To help with that process, a toolkit entitled "Advancing Team-Based Care through Collaborative Practice Agreements" has been developed. The toolkit is a resource for pharmacists to use in developing and executing collaborative practice agreements in the spirit of advancing team-based care. It provides a customizable template that can be used as a starting point to developing a collaborative practice agreement.
This toolkit was developed by ChangeLab Solutions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA), and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) through a cooperative agreement with ChangeLab Solutions.

Please see attached. If anyone could solve this, it would be greatly appreciated!
The highlighted cells in Summary tab should show the total training hours spent per person per activity pulled from the Data tab.
i.e. for Adam/Basketball, the cell should show 9 (from 4+5); David/Tennis = 3 (from just 3); Michael/Swimming = 16 (from 4+3+1+8), etc.
For those that don't appear i.e. Sherry/Swimming, it should show a sum of 0 instead of N/A if possible.
Not sure how to use the combination of vLookup or lookup, with "sum", "if" or "and" statements.
Spent quite a lot of time trying to crack this but couldn't... there are two tables I need help with.
Thank you for any resolutions! And if you could do it in the attachment and upload it so I can see what was done and edit it, that would be even better!

Sadly this doesn't work. I want to do it assuming the names and activities can appear in the tab data in any order, so I would have to use vlookups to solve this.
Still looking for help and solutions.

Jelsay - although there is no official rule regarding this behaviour, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.
I hope the detail added to my post above makes it better now. I appreciate your corrections and I want to learn more from more of such, except that, if you may choose to use a milder way of doing that, I will deeply appreciate. Remember to add Reputation to my post.
1. I am a moderator. The text I used is boilerplate (this means it's a canned message) and is used in instances like this by all moderators. There is nothing wrong with the text as it stands. I do not need to find a 'milder' way of dealing with you: you are no different to any other member here.
2. Why do you think I should give reputation points for your post? Reputation is something you earn and is awarded on a discretionary basis (see the notes at the foot of our forum rules). You do not get reputation just for responding to a moderator's very reasonable and polite request.

The idea of development has always been nurtured. It is as old as the history of Africa itself. Even though the continent is believed to host the starting point of development, man has struggled to continue doing so there. Shying away from reality will not be the solution, but facing reality with all its encumbrances. Perhaps, many people are ignorant of what pan-Africanism can offer; hence, they relegate pan-Africanism and the African development prospect to mere academic studies. Against this backdrop, the paper seeks to substantiate the significance and role of pan-Africanism in the development of Africa.

J.W. Barlament had an interesting trip to Shawano on Saturday morning.
On his way to a book signing and presentation of his two novels at Beans and Books in Shawano, he found himself in an unpleasant situation. Like many others driving Wisconsin roads in winter, Barlament's car wound up in the ditch, and it appeared he would not make it to the presentation.
Barlament had a shovel in his trunk to help dig himself out, but it broke as he tried to escape. Fortunately, the ditch in question was not far from his home, so he was able to secure alternate transportation to make it to Shawano, albeit an hour behind schedule, to meet potential new fans and sell some books.

The common cold is medically known as an upper respiratory tract infection. Despite the chesty cough that often sends us to the doctor, the lungs are not affected.
There are over 200 viruses that cause the common cold. Unfortunately, antibiotics have no effect on the common cold; you must fight the virus on your own.
While children average six to eight colds a year (double if in preschool or daycare), adults do not get as many colds. They've already been exposed to many viruses and have developed immunity.
December through April is cold and flu season, where viral illnesses are most common. A drippy nose usually lasts 7-10 days and a cough, 10-14 days. One child out of three will cough for up to three weeks, but the cough will actually sound worse as it gets better.
Colds do not usually wipe your child out; the cold symptoms often bother the parents more. Otherwise, kids act pretty normal except for the constant runny nose and cough.

Four Found Dead at Home of Missing Florida Family, Suspect in Custody: Sheriff
Emily Shugerman, Pilar Melendez
The Daily Beast January 13, 2020
The story of a missing Florida family took a grim turn Monday when police turned up at their doorstep and found four bodies inside their home, authorities confirmed to The Daily Beast.
Relatives first reported the Todt family missing last Wednesday, asking for information on the whereabouts of Anthony, Megan, and their three young children in a Facebook group that quickly swelled to nearly 2,500 members.
The family had recently moved from Colchester, Connecticut, to Celebration, Florida—a gated community on the outskirts of Disney World, designed and built by the Walt Disney Company.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office confirmed that a suspect has been taken into custody in connection with the investigation. That person "has yet not been arrested or charged with a crime and therefore the person's identity is not being released at this time," authorities said Tuesday.
The sheriff's office did not identify the four individuals found inside the house, saying that autopsy results are still pending.
Relatives said they last heard from the Todt family on Jan. 6. Neighbors reported last seeing them in mid-December.
"Worried sick!!!" one family friend wrote in the Facebook group. "I keep sending them messages on messenger and they are being sent but not delivered. I'm guessing their phones are off. Praying for their safe return."
But with news of the death investigation Monday, the posts turned less hopeful. "Please respect our family," one relative wrote. "We don't know anymore."
Connecticut State Police told The Daily Beast that they are aware of the deaths of "several individuals who are believed to have Connecticut ties," but have not received any requests to assist in the investigation.
Celebration, Florida: How Disney's 'Community of Tomorrow' Became a Total Nightmare
Police responded to an address registered to the Todts at 11:30 Monday morning, authorities said. Neighbors had reportedly called the police after not seeing the children in several days. One neighbor told The Daily Beast that police had also cordoned off an area of the local park frequented by the mother and kids. Neighbors reported seeing the father of the family that lived in the home being ordered out by armed deputies and taken away in handcuffs.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office on Monday did not confirm that the investigation was related to the Todt family.
"This is an isolated incident, and all parties involved with this death investigation are accounted for," Sheriff Russ Gibson said in a brief press conference, adding that they were in "the very beginning stages of the investigation."
Court records show an eviction order was entered against the family late last month, but no response had been filed as of Monday. Both Anthony and Megan appear to have worked at a family-owned physical therapy office in Connecticut. State records show Anthony's license expired in September and had not been renewed; Megan's was set to expire at the end of this month.
The Connecticut Office of the Attorney General also confirmed to The Orlando Sentinel on Tuesday the agency is currently investigating Anthony Todt.
"We have an open False Claims Act investigation into Anthony Todt," a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office said in a statement but declined to provide further details.
Family members said on Facebook that they were in touch with authorities in both Connecticut and Florida but declined to comment further when reached by The Daily Beast.

Move from cataloging to curating for your users

"The savings for us have mostly been time savings. We've moved from cataloging to curating. Our focus has moved more to our patrons and guests."
Theresa Embrey
Chief Librarian, Pritzker Military Museum & Library
Pritzker Military Museum & Library began its transition to a new library management system at the same time it expanded its purpose and migrated all its content to a new website. "We wanted to, if at all possible, make the most of those transitions," explained Chief Librarian Theresa Embrey. "This was a major opportunity for us."
The transition from a library to a museum and library opened the staff up to focusing more on guests. The shift to WorldShare® Management Services gave them the extra time they needed to support additional user services. For example, library staff members saved significant time managing their interlibrary loans. "Having a system that is easy and moves between the catalog and WorldShare [Interlibrary Loan], that was huge for us," Theresa added.
"Because of the time we're saving with WorldShare Management Services, we're spending more time doing tours. We used to do a book club quarterly, but we're now doing it monthly. And we joined Wikipedia as a GLAM institution."
"We now have time to do more public-friendly activities," Theresa said. The Museum & Library contributes to Wikipedia with a group of galleries, libraries and museums (GLAM). "For the rare books, like Regulations for the Order [and Discipline] of the Troops, we're embedding our webpages into the Wikipedia catalog as references," Theresa explained. "We're putting VIAF® [Virtual International Authority File] numbers into Wikipedia and helping to build those connections between Wikipedia and WorldCat®."
To enhance their new website, a developer at Pritzker Military Museum & Library used the WorldCat API to gather data for the content management system. Each page on the site pulls metadata from the Library of Congress and FAST subject headings that are already embedded in the WorldCat records. Items searched for on the site appear as individual webpages that link to the WorldCat record. "It's very visual," Theresa explained. "People can get photos from our site, and it allows us to do more of that curation."
Theresa added, "We chose WorldShare Management Services because we thought about how best to support our users in the future. We looked at where the opportunities were, and we love having so much more time for customer service."

There are at least two artists named Luci.
1)Luci is a project for long time collaborators Guillaume Coutu Dumont and David Fafard.
2)Luci is a singer/songwriter living in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Drawing on her Peruvian roots, Pop singer/songwriter Luci offers a pop-driven sound that is infused with Latin, R&B and funk. From her childhood years, music was an integral part of Luci's life. Born in Lima, Peru, Luci lived in the U.S. from a very young age and grew up in various southern states. She draws her unique style from a sea of influences varying from Celia Cruz and Christina Aguilera, to Aerosmith and Stevie Wonder.
While at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, Luci studied Music Tech as a minor and began playing guitar and recording her songs, and had her first co- writing experiences. As she has grown both personally and as a songwriter, Luci feels her music has grown along with her, sharing the character and life experiences gained along the way.
"My goal is to present music you can relate to, dance to and create some memorable moments
to, and my vision is to inspire strength and hope in others," Luci said. "I work tirelessly to put on
the best performance, which is what I feel my fans deserve. I know this is what I'm made to do
and I absolutely intend to make a career out of it."
In early 2007, Luci took a season off from pursuing music to focus on her growing family. She recently stepped back into the music scene with a renewed vigor for her work. She currently lives in Nashville, TN. Working with award-winning producer Kene Bell, her debut EP, "Live It Up," was released in May 2010. Luci continues to write new music and embraces the opportunity to collaborate with other talented songwriters in the Nashville area. She remains ambitious as she hones in on her passion for producing, dancing, and dressmaking for her shows, and plans to produce and release a full album by the end of summer 2011.
"I'm returning with a new image, style, and vision," Luci said. "I'm relentless and more passionate than ever, and excited to see what's ahead."

"I'm teaching Berklee's first contemporary Indian vocal ensemble. It's combining concepts of Indian classical music and the Indian tradition in art, along with Western harmonic and arranging concepts. We have students from all over the world. It's a nice little family. This is starting from scratch, but it's not a beginner's course. We jump straight into it. You learn as you go along. It's about evolving and imbibing a new culture."
"My first love is working with multiple voices, and in India I have a group, over 250 members now, called Artists Unlimited. The whole concept of circle singing is something that is so very powerful. Circle singing is a concept that as far as I know Bobby McFerrin introduced to the world. It's very organic. He assigns a part to the bass singers, and another interlocking part to the sopranos, and something else for the altos, and something else for the tenors, and maybe he would improvise over it. It's a very dynamic form of composition; it's always improvised.
"One of the students started a circle singing group at Berklee. You have to really surrender to the moment. I think in all music that's what we're trying to encourage our students to do, to surrender and be totally present in the moment. And I feel that circle singing is a very noncompetitive, nonhostile, supportive, healing, and liberating space to just give yourself to and then see what happens."

Polar Sigtseeing: Flight from Germany to the North Pole or Aurora observation from €499!
Wow! Take the once-in-a-life opportunity to fly over and around the North Pole! Get onboard special airberlin >> sightseeing flight from Berlin and fly over Spitsbergen, North Pole and Greenland and back from only €499!!
On the way to the pole, you may expect to overfly Svalbard, better known as Spitsbergen, in cruising altitude. It will depend on ad-hoc ATC permission whether it will be possible to fly a bit lower. In case of good weather, you can expect interesting views even from higher altitudes.
The route continues towards the 90°N North pole position where you'll circumnavigate the world twice – in both directions (subject to ATC overflight approval from all countries concerned, incl. Russia). At the present location, you will be just as close to Alaska as to the North Cape of Norway. The distance to Northern Canada is only 750 kilometres from here, you are much closer to the American continent now than to Europe.
After having overflown the pole, you continue towards Eastern Greenland and might be able to see parts of its coastline. On some of our previous flights it was possible to overfly the coastline of eastern Greenland, and sights were always spectacular.
All in all, you will spend about five hours in the polar region, offering you the most spectacular and unforgettable views.
The described routing is subject to wind and weather conditions and the necessary ATC permissions which are always ad-hoc. Anyway, the pilot has several planned routings to choose from to grant best viewing opportunities. Thus, in any case, the captain and the ops department of airberlin will do their best to get permissions from the ATC of up to 8 different countries to fly the best possible route.
Several circuits will be flown in the Faroer airspace which makes an observation of the Aurora Borealis highly likely.

Eamon McGee column: Four things I can't wait to see in the 2022 football season - and four things I'm dreading
Eamon McGee looks ahead to what he's most excited about - and what he is dreading the most - about the upcoming football season
Eamon McGee

2022 is upon us, and I was going to write a prediction piece for the year ahead.
But considering I openly said Tyrone hadn't a snowball's chance of winning an All-Ireland in 2021, I don't think I'm well placed to make predictions (accurate ones anyway).
So I've decided to sit down and draw up a list of things I can't wait to see and things I'm dreading in the 2022 football season.
If you are only here for predictions, here is the list:
Dublin to win the all Ireland. Dublin, Kerry, Donegal and Mayo to win their respective provincials with Kerry winning Division 1.
They all come with an asterix obviously.
As for all that will go on around that, here are four things I can't wait to see and four things I'm dreading.
Can't wait for...
1. The Split Season:
We've put an awful lot of faith in this. It's supposed to fix an awful lot of what's wrong with the GAA calendar so it will be really really interesting to see what happens when it's actually in place.
The long drawn out season with unsustainable commitment levels for managers and players is now shortened and that includes the costs involved for County Board financing teams.
On paper it looks like a no brainer. I'm just trying to work out what problems will come with it.
The only one I can think of is the shortened market window for the county game.
But with the positives that's something we can live with, and a properly marketed club game could possibly remedy that.
The split season is something I've shouted about for a long time, even in my playing days so it's going to be great to see it in action. I'm praying it doesn't let me down.
2. Jack O'Connor's Kerry:
We've been waiting for this Kerry team to come along and knock Dublin off their perch.
They didn't and Tyrone stepped up in year one of their project and did the job.
You can argue that if David Clifford hadn't got injured in last year's semi final they would have beaten Tyrone.
But the way they played and the brainlessness of it meant there was very little sympathy for that argument.
Kerry manager Jack O'Connor (©INPHO/Laszlo Geczo)
Peter Keane might feel harshly treated but all he has to do is watch a few replays of the game.
That will soften the blow. He might not have been the best man to win the All Ireland.
I wouldn't have been enamoured about the way O'Connor went about declaring his love for the Kerry job while still managing Kildare but I am looking forward to seeing how he goes about his business with this talented Kerry team.
Stefan Okunbor is back and looks the part. David Clifford and Sean O'Shea are another year older.
The pieces of the jigsaw that is an All Ireland win are all there. It's about how Jack goes about putting them together.
Eventually he will and the reason I'm looking forward to that process is because I think this Kerry team are going to do it in style.
I have to give a special mention to Derry here. I'm excited to see how they will progress after a decent season. They have plenty to be positive about and will only get better.
3. Big Crowds at Games/End to Covid Regulations:
I had to get the Covid word in. It's become so intertwined in everything we do that it had to make it.
I'm presuming more than anything that when omicron runs its course, we will have bigger crowds and players will have access to dressing rooms, rather than the sanitized version of county football we got over the last two seasons.
I felt that a lot of people lost the connection to their county teams over the last two seasons, watching from a distance and worrying about the pandemic.

I don't think it bodes well for the game if we go into another season like that as it's going to take time to repair that damage.
I think we can expect restrictions to be less severe by the end of January and for me, as a spectator, I can't wait until we get back to where we were
4. The Next Evolution:
I think we are at a stage where we can expect a few teams to pivot to a new style of play and I'm looking forward to seeing what that is.
Personally, I think a lot of teams are going to go back to being a bit more defensive in their style, because they realise this open expansive stuff just isn't for them!
Dreading seeing....
1. The Provincial Championships:
I've said they were a dead duck for a few years now but the fact we had an opportunity to fix it and we didn't take it will make it harder to watch again.
The fact the provincials were allowed to go again while acknowledging the current system is broken makes it a harder pill to swallow altogether.
They're done as part of the All-Ireland Championship. I'm sick saying it.
Watching the Ulster Championship and then looking down at the insipid affairs in Munster and Leinster will stick in the craw, as Brian McEniff used to say about anything that really annoyed him
And don't get me started on the McKenna Cup.
2. Tyrone Getting Better:
It depends on your geography if you look forward or dread the idea that Tyrone are inevitably going to get better.
They weren't supposed to win it in year one of the Dooher/Logan era. They did and you couldn't but respect them the way they went about it.

The scary thing with them is that there is still more in the tank here.
It's a tough prospect for any of Donegal, Monaghan, Armagh and Derry to go through a Tyrone team who won an all Ireland and are on the upward curve , just to win an Ulster title. Nobody will want them.
3. Abusing Match Officials:
You can be guaranteed there will be several managers put under the microscope this season and blame officials for their loss.
As a serial offender I get it but we've got to start to change the culture about how we view officials in the GAA.
Not every ref is out to shaft your team. They tend to make mistakes.
They are struggling to keep up with the rules and of course there are just some poor officials out there.
They couldn't possibly be out to get every team and they're definitely not out to get yours all the time.
At this stage, you price that all in, deal with it and shut up.
It's getting so unattractive I just can't understand how anyone could be bothered leaving the house and taking up the whistle to be called everything under the sun.
We've recently seen some people defending Mountbellew-Moylough from Galway and how they disgracefully manhandled the referee, Jerome Henry. How far we have to go in looking after our officials.
4. The Mercenary Manager/Coach:
What's another year of watching poor coaches and managers using clubs and county teams around the country as a vehicle to pay for their new patio or sun holiday at the end of the season.
I'm like a broken record with this at this stage.
I don't mind anyone getting a few pound but come on, you've got to at least make an effort to hide the fact you're in it for the money, and you actually have to be able to coach.

….It is my great pleasure to join in welcoming you all to this Day of General Discussion on Children Human Rights Defenders..I am most excited of course to be welcoming the members of the Child Advisory Team. You make this such a very special moment for us all – for us personally who work here and for the human rights work we try to do here. This year is the 20th birthday of the UN Human Rights Defenders Declaration and the 70th birthday of the UDHR. ….
Today, we will talk with you, about you. We will listen to you, …….
….We older people have failed you – have failed children. In so many places, in so many ways – older people are still failing children…….
Yet, the strange thing about this, is that it was older people – even older people – including some working 70 years ago – who made those laws and standards that recognise you have those rights, and yet it is older people who are breaking those promises.
……………If young age is no barrier to experiencing the worst consequences of older people's decisions, then why use young age as an excuse to leave you out, to lock you out, from the places where those decisions could be changed. As human rights defenders, you know far better than I do why it is so important that we rethink the power relationship between older and young people. If we would just change how we older people relate to children, make more room for you, listen to you more respectfully, value your experiences more, keep our promises to you then maybe we too would grow up and with you, just get on with changing the world for better.
The second case concerning children of human rights defenders is a more general category as described by Rebecca Sheff in a blog on Human Rights First: "Reprisals Against Children of Human Rights Defenders in UAE".
She reports that on 8 October 2015, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child released a report expressing "concern" about the United Arab Emirates' treatment of human rights defenders and their families. It noted that the government has been persecuting the children of defenders, restricting their "rights to education, identity documents, to freedom of movement and to keep contact with their detained parents." The Convention on the Rights of the Child requires the UAE to protect children against discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, expressed opinions, or beliefs of their parents. The UAE's acts of intimidation violate children's fundamental rights and inhibit the work of defenders. Dozens of political prisoners in the UAE are serving long prison sentences after being convicted in a mass unfair trial in 2013. ….The Committee on the Rights of the Child also expressed concern "about the reported continuous harassment of human rights defenders in the State party, which greatly undermines the emergence of a vibrant civil society as well as the protection and promotion of children's rights." The lack of a robust civil society in the UAE means that children's rights issues are neglected and violations go unaddressed. Ahmed Mansoor, a prominent human rights defender in the UAE, recently received the 2015 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders.
With Costa Rica as the tenth country to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, children or their representatives will have the possibility to file an individual complaint as from April 2014,when the Protocol comes formally into effect, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) announcement on 14 January.

Q: VBA xlSpecifiedTables Not Pulling Specified Tables in 2016 Excel I have many macros built with the following type of code:

It never did these things before, and functionality of the exact same file in Excel 2007 remains the same.
I have also re-recorded a macro in Excel 2016 and selected a specific table via Get External Data From Web, and the code is reproduced exactly as above, but it still pulls the entire page.
I am aware that I can manually reorganize the data after the pull and there are also Queries, but I would really prefer to know why SpecifiedTables no long pulls specified tables. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Zamiaceae é uma família de cicas que, juntamente com Cycadaceae e Stangeriaceae, pertence à Ordem Cycadales dentro da Divisão Cycadophyta (Cicadófitas). As cicadófitas originaram-se há 290 milhões de anos e correspondem a uma linhagem dentro do grande grupo das Acrogimnospermas (Gimnospermas viventes).

Distribuição

As Zamiaceae estão presentes nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais da África, Austrália, América do Norte e América do Sul. No Brasil, apenas o gênero Zamia ocorre naturalmente, com 6 espécies nativas dos biomas Amazônia e Cerrado.

Lista de espécies brasileiras
.

Zamia amazonum D.W.Stev.

Zamia boliviana (Brongn.) A.DC.

Zamia cupatiensis Ducke

Zamia lecointei Ducke

Zamia obidensis Ducke

Zamia poeppigiana Mart. & Eichler

Zamia ulei Dammer

Morfologia

As Zamiaceae assemelham-se a palmeiras, com talo aéreo não ramificado, nu ou coberto por bases foliares, podendo atingir 18 metros de altura. Possuem folhas compostas, característica marcante que difere Cycadophyta de todas as demais Acrogimnospermas, com aspecto coriáceo e disposição espiralada, persistentes, com espinhos ausentes ou presentes na base das folhas, estípulas ausentes e vernação simples, ao contrário de Cycadaceae e Stangeriaceae que possuem vernação circinada.

As raízes, por sua vez, podem ser de três tipos baseados em sua função: algumas espécies possuem raízes especializadas na proteção contra incêndios, denominadas raízes contráteis. Raízes coralóides fazem simbiose com cianofíceas fixadoras de nitrogênio e recebem esse nome devido a sua coloração avermelhada. Raízes que têm apenas a função de sustentação são chamadas de raízes normais.

São plantas dioicas. Existem dois tipos de esporofilos: os microsporofilos, estrutura masculina que produz micrósporos, e os megasporofilos, estrutura feminina altamente modificada, cada uma com dois óvulos, dentro dos quais serão produzidos megásporos. Ambas as estruturas estão agrupadas em estróbilos ou cones compactos. As sementes são tipicamente grandes e angulares, com o revestimento interno endurecido e externo carnudo e, muitas vezes, apresentam cor brilhante.

Como em todas as Cicadófitas, os representantes de Zamiaceae produzem glicosídeos tóxicos, como as cicasinas.

Reprodução

A reprodução das Zamiaceae é comum a todas as Cicadófitas. A germinação em Zamiaceae é do tipo radiospérmica (eixo de simetria radial).

Taxonomia
Zamiaceae é subdividida em nove gêneros, contendo cerca de 230 espécies, são eles: Bowenia, Ceratozamia, Dioon, Encephalartos, Lepidozamia, Macrozamia, Microcycas, Stangeria e Zamia.

Filogenia
A análise filogenética molecular de Cycadophyta baseada em sequências de DNA nuclear e DNA de plastídeos propõe a seguinte relação entre os gêneros de Zamiaceae.

BSP undertakes initiatives to promote MSMEs, agriculture financing
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is continuously undertaking various initiatives to support the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the agricultural and fisheries sector, including banks providing loans to smaller businesses in compliance with the central bank's reserve requirements.
"The most important of which during the pandemic was to make new lending to MSMEs eligible for compliance with our reserve requirements," Francisco Dakila Jr., Deputy Governor of the Monetary and Economics Sector of the BSP, said during a virtual business conference.
The BSP has allowed banks to use new loans to MSMEs as alternative
compliance with the reserve requirements to encourage them to continue
lending to these smaller businesses.
Dakila said the central bank also has instituted other measures to boost these businesses, including reduction in the credit risk weight of MSME loans, and assignment of zero-percent risk weight for MSME loans that are covered with guarantees.
He said the BSP also supports initiatives to increase access to credit and financing of the agriculture and fisheries sector as it recognizes its "great potential" as an engine of growth.
He identified these initiatives as the agricultural value chain financing framework (AVCFF), financial inclusion initiatives, and credit surety fund (CSF).
"The agricultural value chain financing framework addresses the associated credit risks with the agriculture and fisheries sector by shifting the focus of lending from individual farmers and fisherfolk to the whole value chains. Participation in a value chain allows farmers to leverage on effective farming technologies and methods and have access to financing and sustainable market demand," he said.
Dakila said AVCFF also allows financial institutions to put in place a disaster contingency mechanism requiring the adoption of risk mitigants to minimize losses and provide relief to a borrower to facilitate recovery.
To encourage participation in the lending scheme, incentives are also provided to financial institutions that comply with regulations, including compliance with the agri-agra requirement and the additional 25-percent increase in the single borrowers' limit for loan granted to actors in the agricultural value chains for a period of three years, he said.
"And the BSP hopes that the issuance will provide the necessary guidance for banks to be able to serve the needs of the agricultural and fisheries sector, specifically the small owners in a manner that is both visible and sustainable," he added.
Dakila further said financial inclusion initiatives include those in the areas of policy, regulation and supervision; financial education and consumer protection; data and measurement; and financial inclusion advocacy and strategic international linkages.
"Through financial inclusion, the BSP aims to provide timely and affordable financial services to the different segments of Philippine society, particularly sectors that are often underserved by the formal financial system, including the MSMEs and the agriculture and agrarian reform sectors," he said.
Developed as a credit enhancement scheme, Dakila said the CSF serves as security for loans of MSMEs from lending banks by providing a surety cover in lieu of acceptable collaterals.

Eating my Way through Italy with Secret Food Tours: Rome
Katie Lofbladeurope, Italy, Travel, UncategorizedBACKPACKING, backpacking europe, euro, europe, explore, featured, food, food tour, italian, Italy, pasta, TOUR, travel5 Comments
OK, I'd be lying if I said that gorging myself in the mecca of carbs didn't play a massive part in my desire to visit Italy. Pizza, pasta, cheese, cannoli, caprese, gelato, wine… to think that one country is individually responsible for so many of my favourite foods is pretty amazing. When I was offered the opportunity to go on a secret food tour of Rome on my first night in Italy naturally I jumped at the chance. I wasn't sure exactly what the tour was going to entail (hence the "secret" aspect) but I did know it was going to be food, and a lot of it, and that was enough for me.
Our 3 hour tour began in one of Rome's most famous neighbourhoods: Piazza Navona.
Every little corner of Italy is more stunning than the next. I brought my Nikon and a 32GB memory card and I didn't have a picture to spare by the end of the trip!
We met up with our guide and the rest of our group: a couple from England and a couple from LA. Our first stop was at a small cafe in the corner of the Piazza where we prepared for an evening of eating in the most Italian way possible: with a shot of Espresso.
To be completely honest, I'd never had an espresso before but when in Rome, right? It sure did wake me up though and I was ready to take on the rest of the eating adventure.
Our next stop was just the thing I'd been waiting for: Pizza. We walked to Campo dei Fiori Market and stopped in a small bakery where everything was baked on site.
The pizzas were freshly made to order so I had some time to take photos of the other tantalisingly delicious baked goods on offer.
Our guide led us outside, the pizzas still steaming from the oven and explained the difference between the three types of pizza we would be sampling. There was pizza bianca or white pizza which was crust topped with olive oil, salt and, occasionally herbs, such as rosemary sprigs. Pizza margarita with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella and a red pizza simply with fresh tomato sauce.
My favourite was definitely the classic Margarita style, can't go wrong.
After pizza we were led around the corner to a cheese shop where we sampled farm fresh burrata cheese. Deeeelicious.
Oh WOW the willpower it took to photograph this cannoli before I ate it.
I was interested to see how real Italian cannoli would compare to the famous cannoli's from Mike's Pastries in Boston's North End (the city's Italian district) and to be honest they were pretty similar! The one in Italy was definitely a touch better but Mike's is pretty spot on to the real thing! If you can't make it to Rome head to Boston!
We ventured toward the city's Jewish Ghetto neighbourhood which was full of really interesting history. Our guide pointed out these bricks in the road that were dedicated to Jews who had actually lived in this ghetto during World War II.
In this neighbourhood we were ushered into a small cafe, just big enough for a few worn leather couches and a chalkboard displaying the menu.
The cafe specialised in Supplí (risotto balls): a popular snack in Rome consisting of rice, cheese, meat or vegetables, and tomatoes rolled into a little ball and deep fried. Yum, yum, yum… where are these things in America? This may have been me and mom's favourite stop.
Next we went into that exact sort of restaurant you'd expect from Italy: checked tablecloths, candles burning, etc. This was a longer stop than usual as we actually sat down at a table and a had a quick little dinner. We sampled two sorts of pasta: carbonara and a homemade penne with marinara sauce as well as a red and a white wine.
After our pasta dishes we ventured a little further down the road for another round of wine and cheese at a popular local shop.
My favourite part of the tour was that it gave us the opportunity to try some foods that we wouldn't normally have ventured out for. I loved the burrata but as a tourist I probably wouldn't have ventured into the cheese shop and picked out a random cheese I had never tried before. It was also a great thing to do at the beginning of the trip because it also acted as a great way to get acquainted with the city.
I also really liked that we were in a small group so that we could move at a faster pace than some of the larger tours that Mom and I did during our time in Italy. It felt more like a group of friends hanging out and enjoying some awesome food than a cheesy touristy tour.
Our last stop of the evening was… gelato! Yum!
I ate gelato after nearly every meal in Italy, oops! But it was sooo hot when we were there and it is SO delicious every where you go, I just couldn't resist! Top tip: we were told that you can tell if a gelato place is going to be good or not by having a look at the pistachio flavour. If it's a fake looking bright bright green the gelato probably isn't as authentic as it could be. If it's a little more muted, natural, green than you're good to go. Also take note of the containers that the gelato comes in. If its in big plastic tubs like ice cream generally is than it's most likely not made on site. If it's in metal tubs it probably is.
By the end of the night mom and I were STUFFED. We thought just having a light lunch would be enough to prepare for the evening but honestly I wish I had skipped lunch altogether— that's how much food you get on this tour. Definitely definitely bring a HUGE appetite because you really don't want to miss out on trying all of these delicious treats.
Secret Food Tours also runs tours in London, New York City, Berlin, Paris, San Francisco and more.
Thank you Secret Food Tours for the awesome experience! As always all opinions are my own.

Q: Multithread Python exit I have an API and I want to create a client to send/recv data from the interne, so I used a thread so my api won't freeze because of the blocking commands. In my thread I loop while I write/read data. Problem is that after 1 loop program exits and I don't know why.
here is my thread class
class WorkerThread(Thread):
"""Worker Thread Class."""
def __init__(self):
    """Init Worker Thread Class."""
    Thread.__init__(self)
    self._want_abort = 0
    # This starts the thread running on creation, but you could
    # also make the GUI thread responsible for calling this
    self.start()

def run(self):
    while(1):
        if self._want_abort:
           # Use a result of None to acknowledge the abort (of
            # course you can use whatever you'd like or even
            # a separate event type)
            wx.PostEvent(ResultEvent(None))
            return
        Socket_ID=OPEN_CLIENT(str('184.106.153.149'), 3000, 80, SOCKET_STREAM)

        WRITE(Socket_ID, 123, len(123))
        time.sleep(0.5)
        test = READ(Socket_ID)
        if 'on' in test:
            SET_IO(1,1)
        if 'off' in test:
            SET_IO(1,0)

        time.sleep(1)
        CLOSE(Socket_ID)
        time.sleep(10)

def abort(self):
    """abort worker thread."""
    # Method for use by main thread to signal an abort
    self._want_abort = 1

And I call it inside my main after i trigger a checkbox event:
def receive_data(self, event):
        if self.get_cmd == 0:

            self.get_cmd = 1
            self.worker = WorkerThread(self)

        else:
            self.get_cmd = 0
            self.worker.abort()

I saw the Thread class from here: http://wiki.wxpython.org/LongRunningTasks
If I use this, the I/O between client server is OK but API is getting frozed
def receive_data(self, event):
        if self.get_cmd == 0:

            self.get_cmd = 1
            self.worker = WorkerThread(self)
            self.worker.join()

        else:
            self.get_cmd = 0
            self.worker.abort()

Ok, here is another approch that loops 3-4 times and then it crushes:
def receive_data(self, event):

        if self.get_cmd == 0:
            self.thingspeak = threading.Thread(target=recv_data_thingspeak, args = (self.talkback_field.GetValue(),))
            self.thingspeak.start()

        else:
            self.receive_bt.SetValue(True)

def recv_data_thingspeak(queue):

    Socket_ID =OPEN_CLIENT(str('184.106.153.149'), 3000, 80, SOCKET_TYPE_STREAM)
    while(1):

        request = "GET /apps/thinghttp/send_request?api_key=" + queue + " HTTP/1.1\r\n"
        request += "Host: api.thingspeak.com\r\n\r\n"

        WRITE(Socket_ID, 123, len(123))
        time.sleep(1)
        test = READ(Socket_ID)
        if 'on' in test:
            SET_IO(1,1)
        if 'off' in test:
            SET_IO(1,0)

        time.sleep(10)

    CLOSE(Socket_ID)

A: Multiple threads can be confusing.  For example, in the first batch of code the parent htread is setting (workerthread)._want_abort.  However this flag only exists in the parent, not in the worker, so this type of signalling doesn't work.
Generally multithreaded programs work by creating a Queue (or Event, etc) in the parent, then creating a bunch of workers -- giving each one a reference to the Queue.  Then when the parent or worker uses the Queue, all threads see the result.  You can't do this with a list or other "primitive" object; the Queue has magic so that multiple threads can modify it, and the others will be informed
In the following we start three workers, wait a second, then signal them all to die.  We do this by creating an Event in the parent, and sharing it with each worker.
import time
from threading import *

class WorkerThread(Thread):
    def __init__(self, die_flag, *args, **kw):
        super(WorkerThread,self).__init__(*args, **kw)
        self.die_flag = die_flag

    def run(self):
        for num in range(3):
            if self.die_flag.is_set():
                print "{}: bye".format(
                    current_thread().name
                    )
                return
            print "{}: num={}".format(
                current_thread().name, num,
                )
            time.sleep(1)

flag = Event()

print 'STARTING THREADS'
WorkerThread(name='whiskey', die_flag=flag).start()
WorkerThread(name='syrup', die_flag=flag).start()
WorkerThread(name='bitters', die_flag=flag).start()

print '\nRELAXING'
time.sleep(2)

print '\nTELL WORKERS TO DIE'
flag.set()

print '\nWAITING FOR WORKERS'
for thread in enumerate():
    if thread != current_thread():
        print thread.name,':',
        thread.join()
        print 'joined'

print '\nDONE'

Sample run:
STARTING THREADS
whiskey: num=0
syrup: num=0
bitters: num=0

RELAXING
syrup: num=1
whiskey: num=1
bitters: num=1
syrup: num=2
bitters: num=2

TELL WORKERS TO DIE
 whiskey: num=2

WAITING FOR WORKERS

Don't just let emotions drive you.
Decisions come in all shapes and sizes. Some are simple to make and inconsequential, while others are challenging, and bring with them potential risks or rewards: Do I take that job offer? Should I ask my supervisor for that big project? Do I leave this job for another?
Keep your emotions in check. You may be stressed, angry, or anxious. But don't make choices based on how you feel at the moment. "It's good to consider your emotions when making decisions. It's bad to let your emotions get in the way," said Aaron Clayton, CPA, CGMA, a 35-year-old partner at Eide Bailly in Sioux Falls, S.D., and a 2016 graduate of the AICPA Leadership Academy.
Since most CPAs are meticulous and fact-driven, some "may not express their emotions, but emotions are still capable of driving decisions," Engels noted. So, breathe deeply, take a walk, or do whatever will help you become calm before determining a course of action.
Seek outside advice. Tap your friends, family, and colleagues for guidance. Seek out experienced coaches and mentors who have made tricky decisions of their own. "Be a relentless pursuer of feedback," so you realize how you are perceived and "where your blind spots are," Engels said. Provide various options to people you trust but who may offer a fresh perspective on your situation.
Have empathy. Your decisions will influence you and others as well. So, "having empathy for the individuals in the situation is important," Bullock said. Understand the stakeholders, and who is relying on you, whether that's family or co-workers, the public, lenders, or clients, said Clayton.
Go with your gut—and your head. We've all heard the saying, "Go with your gut feeling," which can be sound advice depending on the scenario. But completely trusting your instincts is a mistake, Engels said: "Your gut can be wrong, or it can be really on target." Gut instinct, he said, "has to be substantiated with thinking." So, gather data, weigh your options, and avoid making a rash decision.
Make a pro-con list. Clearly articulate challenging decisions in writing. Then, trying to keep a neutral perspective, jot down potential positive and negative outcomes. For the outcomes that are simply too hard to predict, consider getting another person's input or opinion. Based on those discussions, you should be able to evaluate if the outcome has the potential to be a pro or a con.
If warranted, have a backup plan. Sometimes, you need an alternate plan in case your decision flops. "It's really important to have a backup plan if the consequences could be significant either to the business or you," Shaffer said.

Ok so today I will be looking at Mark Miller's comic "Pirouette". It's got some crazy circus stuff on the cover and some decent art so let's follow this rabbit hole to wonderland and see where we end up! (Reader note: This is an excessively graphic comic and if you are squeamish don't read it).
The art is terribly dark but it fits with the theme and the paneling really furthers that tone. That being said, the art is fantastic, rivaling some of the best work I've seen in the industry. There is exquisite details and the artist really knows how to stick to his chosen color pallet. Each character is visually distinct and memorable. Of note, is that this comic has a really high production value. Someone REALLY dug this comic so my hat (or maybe mask?) is off to publisher Black Mask for their superb quality and care.
Something I always like is good typography and page 1 we have some very interesting use of lettering. It comes in the form of a retro "headline" style display (where many bulbs are used to form letters) that spells the comic's name and has a few burnt out and smoking bulbs at the end. This sets up the comic to draw a lot from circus mystique and have a darker undertone. I gotta say, I absolutely hate the full page spread panels on this comic. It really ruins the flow and sometimes I really wished they'd relegated certain parts to smaller panels (even the establishing shots). I love the choice of lettering, it's very expressive while still being legible. Sometimes it makes the text (particularly on e-readers) look very very small and difficult to read.
The tone is very dark and the plot is equally so. In the very broad strokes, it's about a young female clown who has a rough life in the circus and we get to see all the pain she suffers. The characters are memorable, if only visually, and you kind of see everything coming. Nothing that is going to blow your mind but as far as stories go, it is a very human one. The writer has a great grasp of tone and metaphor but sometimes is a little too on the head. The dialogue is well written and intertwines a lot of colloquialisms well. Again, a few stick out as odd or out of place but on the whole they work well. They do passable on the humor aspect but it really feels like this comic's strength comes from it's believable (if not decidedly dark) characters. The plot of the first issue didn't really do anything for me and the hook at the end kind of made me shrug. It does seem like it is going somewhere but not somewhere I am really, personally, interested in.
Overall, it's a comic that is exactly what you see on the label. It is a dark comic about circus life and if that's your cup of tea (read the comic…that's a funny joke) you will enjoy it. Comes for the art and stay for the elephant poop and clowns.
