Royal Mail workers begin wave of pre-Christmas strikes

More than 100,000 postal workers have begun the first of a series of days of strike action that threaten to disrupt deliveries across the country in the run-up to Christmas, after the failure of 11th-hour talks to resolve a protracted and bitter dispute over pay and conditions.
The Communications Workers Union (CWU), which has planned six days of strikes on 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24 December, has organised a protest by workers at the Houses of Parliament on Friday as the row with management continues to escalate.
The CWU said at least 15,000 of its members would head to Westminster on Friday for what it claimed would be the biggest-ever demonstration held by postal workers.
"Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect," said Dave Ward, the CWU general secretary. "Postal workers want to get on with serving the communities they belong to, delivering Christmas gifts and tackling the backlog from recent weeks. But they know their value."
Royal Mail, which has warned customers to post Christmas cards and presents early to make sure they arrive on time, has accused the union of "holding Christmas to ransom".
The company, which had its offer of up to 9% for workers rejected, has argued that Royal Mail needs to restructure as it is losing £1m a day and said it may need to cut up to 10,000 jobs by August.
The company is facing 18 days of strikes this year if all the planned action takes place. It has said the eight days of strikes until 16 November cost it £100m.
The dispute began this summer after Royal Mail rejected union demands for a pay rise that matched inflation, which is currently 11.1%.
A spokesperson for the company said: "We spent three more days at Acas this week to discuss what needs to happen for the strikes to be lifted. In the end, all we received was another request for more pay, without the changes needed to fund the pay offer.
"Strike action has already cost our people £1,200 each. The money allocated to the pay deal risks being eaten away by the costs of further strike action. The CWU is striking at our busiest time, deliberately holding Christmas to ransom for our customers, businesses and families across the country."
Last month, Royal Mail asked the government to allow it to stop delivering letters on Saturdays, arguing it was financially unsustainable after it reported a £219m loss in the six months to September.
The embattled company, which last month warned it may need to cut up to 10,000 jobs by August, made a £235m profit in the same period last year.

Q: Is there a better way in python to compare dictionaries in different list? x = [{'name': 'Abhay', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 1}, {'name': 'Jay', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 2}, {'name': 'John', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 3}]
y = [{'name': 'John', 'id': 0}, {'name': 'Abhay', 'id': 1}, {'name': 'Jay','id': 2}, {'name': 'John', 'id': 3}, {'name': 'Chanakya', 'id': 4}]

I want to get all the items from 'y' which are not in x
I have tried some solutions but I don't think they are optimised to deploy on production server
this is the code that I've tried
for user in y :
   for xuser in x:
      if user['id'] == xuser['id']:
         y.remove(user)
         break
print(y)

And now I have users without active_subscription that is in 'y'

A: One way to do it that avoids repeatedly scanning x:
>>> x = [{'name': 'Abhay', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 1}, {'name': 'Jay', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 2}, {'name': 'John', 'has_subscription': True, 'id': 3}]
>>> y = [{'name': 'John', 'id': 0}, {'name': 'Abhay', 'id': 1}, {'name': 'Jay', 'id': 2}, {'name': 'John', 'id': 3}, {'name': 'Chanakya', 'id': 4}]
>>> xk = set(d["id"] for d in x)
>>> ym = [d for d in y if d["id"] not in xk]
>>> ym
[{'name': 'John', 'id': 0}, {'name': 'Chanakya', 'id': 4}]

[…] an artificial environment which is experienced through sensory stimuli (as sights and sounds) provided by a computer and in which one's actions partially determine what happens in the environment.
Here are four of the most well known virtual reality products that are available or about to be released to the consumer market.
Manufactured by Oculus VR, which was acquired by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg for two billion dollars earlier in 2015, the Oculus Rift comes with a lot of hype. The Oculus Rift is a headset with a heads-up display and headphones that allow for both sight and sound stimulation. A consumer version of the Oculus Rift is scheduled to be released sometime in 2015, but this will probably be used mostly by gamers, leaving it with little-to-no practical business use.
Google Cardboard allows you to turn your smartphone into a virtual reality headset just by using cardboard. With Google's cardboard blueprints, you can cut and fold cardboard into the base. While Cardboard is a neat, thrifty way to get a feel for what's to come, the VR content available is limited to a handful of games and short movies.
Another of Google's takes on reality augmentation is Google Glass, a pair of glasses that doubles as a smartphone. The main draw of this product was the hands-free smart features it took advantage of, including Internet browsing, simple voice commands, a photo and video camera, and a touchpad on the rim of the glasses. It's fully compatible with Google applications like Gmail, Google+, Google Maps, and more.
Microsoft revealed this year that they're working on a slick new device called the HoloLens; expected to arrive shortly after the arrival of Windows 10 later this month. The HoloLens uses holograms to augment one's surroundings with virtual elements.
Unlike the previous examples, Microsoft Hololens presents a unique business advantage. The possibilities are expansive. According to Microsoft's official HoloLens site page, it's expected to make leaps and bounds in the construction industry, space exploration, education, and more. However, whether or not the HoloLens will prove to be an efficient use of augmented reality is yet to be seen. It has big shoes to fill, and after the failure of Google Glass, consumers might be more skeptical of it.
Do you think that virtual reality augmentation can have a place in the business world? Let us know in the comments.

Q: When and how is it useful to dynamically add a method to a Ruby object? I have been trying to learn Ruby from 'The Well-grounded Rubyist' and I came across the idea of adding methods to an object at run-time:
obj = Object.new
obj.respond_to? "hello" # Returns false

def obj.hello
  puts "something"
end

obj.respond_to? "hello" # Returns true
obj.hello()  # Output is "something"

I have a background in Python and Java, and I cannot imagine any way for me to use this new idea. So, how is this useful? How does it fit into the spirit of object-oriented programming? Is it expensive to do this at run-time?

A: There's always a long list of things you can do in any language but shouldn't do without a good reason and extending a single object is certainly high on that list.
Normally you wouldn't define individual methods, but you might include a bunch of them:
module Extensions
  def is_special?
    true
  end
end

obj = Object.new
obj.send(:extend, Extensions)

obj.is_special?
# => true

ActiveRecord from Rails does this to dynamically create methods for models based on whatever the schema is at the time the Rails instance is launched, so each column gets an associated method. This sort of dynamic programming can be used to make the code adapt seamlessly to a changing environment.
There's a lot of cases where you'll want to spell this out explicitly so your methods are well documented, but for cases where it doesn't matter and responding dynamically is better than maintaining two things, like schema and the associated methods in your code, then it could be the best option.

Spieth shrugs off his worst final round in a major
by Daniel Troy
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Jordan Spieth was the 54-hole co-leader of The Open. He was looking for his fourth career major and second consecutive claret jug. He also has been in the biggest victory drought of his career, extending back to last year at Royal Birkdale.
Spieth shot 5-over 76 – his worst final round in a major – failed to make a birdie – the first time he's failed to pick up any strokes in a major – and tied for ninth place, four shots behind Francesco Molinari. He got over it quickly.
"I've already gone through the frustration," Spieth said, about 20 minutes after his round. "I'm kind of on acceptance now."
Spieth said all week that he was burned out after having played so much golf in a stretch that ended two weeks ago at the Travelers Championship. The two-week rest did him good and he was eager to see where his game was after diligent practice at home in Texas.
Being in the hunt was a good enough result for Spieth this week.
"When you put yourself in position enough times, it goes your way sometimes, it doesn't go your way sometimes," he said.
Full-field scores from the 147th Open Championship
Full coverage of the 147th Open Championship
Bogey on the fifth hole was followed by a nasty double bogey on the sixth when Spieth hit his drive right and flew his second shot into a gorse bush well short and right of the green. He took a drop, hit a wedge onto the green, then three-putted for double-bogey 7. He also made bogey on the 15th and 17th holes.
Some major disappointment stings more than others. This wasn't one that Spieth was going to worry about. In fact, he's more interested in looking forward to an important stretch that includes a WGC event, a major and a playoff run on the PGA Tour.
"My (putting) stroke is there, it's back, which feels awesome," Spieth said. "My game all together is back. I've had different parts of every single part of my game being at kind of a low point in my career, not all at the same time, but enough to where I haven't really been able to compete. It's all there, and it's moving in the right direction."

LA Children's Hospital Contradicts CA Legislators – Trans-Drugs Do Sterilize Kids
By Greg Burt	onAugust 18, 2020 inHealthcare, Law
California state legislators lambasted their opponents in defense of a transgender healthcare bill (AB 2218) in a Senate hearing last week. Senate Health Committee members complained about receiving hundreds of calls from voters telling them not to support a bill that sterilizes children. Author Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) accused the opposition of misleading constituents and "fear-mongering for good sound bites."
But according to informed consent forms recently acquired by California Family Council (CFC), the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) confirms that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones the hospital gives to prepubescent minors prevent them from having "biological children," later in life. AB 2218 is intended to fund medical facilities handing out these gender transitioning drugs.
Watch legislators complain about opponents of AB 2218 in the Senate Health Committee.
Watch the entire hearing here.
CFC received these forms from Michael Laidlaw, M.D. Endocrinology Specialist out of Rocklin, CA. He has authored numerous scholastic works regarding the medical harms of gender transitions drugs on children and adolescents, and he is alarmed by CHLA's willful sterilization of children.
"I worked with a group of lawyers and Judicial Watch, and after a great deal of effort we were able to get the consent forms from the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles," Laidlaw explained. "They confirmed exactly what I suspected, that the hormones used for child and adolescent transition are causing sterility in addition to a host of other health problems."
"This means that they will not have biological children."
Children's Hospital of Los Angeles consent form for
puberty blocking drugs
The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles runs the Center for Transyouth Health and Development, the type of program AB 2218 seeks to fund and replicate throughout the state. Before trans-identified minors are allowed to start their transition using puberty blockers (which stops puberty from occurring) and cross-sex hormones, CHLA requires their parents to sign a consent form acknowledging the treatment risks.
Their consent form for "Pubertal Blockers for Minors in Early Adolescence" states, "If your child starts puberty blockers in the earliest stages of puberty, and then goes on to gender affirming hormones, they will not develop sperm or eggs. This means that they will not have biological children." The consent form immediately continues with the following sentence underlined and in italics. "This is an important aspect of blocking puberty and progressing to hormones that you should understand prior to moving forward with puberty suppression." (Find quote here, pg. 32)
CHLA also has a similar warning for parents who's minors receive cross-sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone after puberty. The consent form for females taking male hormones says, "It is not known what the effects of testosterone are on fertility. Even if you stop taking testosterone it is uncertain if you will be able to get pregnant again in the future." (Find quote here, pg. 35)
The warning on the consent form for males taking female hormones is similar. "Sperm may not mature, leading to reduced fertility. The ability to make sperm normally may or may not come back even after stopping taking feminizing medication," the consent form states. (Find quote here, pg. 28)
The text of AB 2218 states, "The grants shall be available to a hospital, health care clinic, or other medical provider that currently provides gender-affirming health care services, such as hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery, to continue providing those services, or to a hospital, health care clinic, or other medical provider that will establish a program that offers gender-affirming health care services and has an established relationship with a Trans-led organization that will lead in establishing the program."
AB 2218 passed the Senate Health Committee last week 7 to 1, Monday, August 10, but not before Santiago and Democrat Senators bemoaned that voters were "mislead" by opponents.
"Unfortunately, people have been misled about this bill," Santiago told Health Committee members. "Let me be very clear, and set the record straight. Nothing in this bill. Nothing, I will repeat, talks about sterilizing kids. Nothing, I will repeat, in this bill points to anything to do with children."
Senator Connie Leyva (D-San Bernardino) expressed pity for her callers. "We received hundreds of calls to vote no on this bill," Leyva said in committee. "I felt bad for the people who were calling to ask us to vote no because I do think they were misled. There is nothing in this bill that talks about sterilizing children. It really talks about health care for individuals who identify as transgender."
"I got hundreds and hundreds of calls asking me not to support something that sterilizes children," Senator Susan Rubio (D-West Covina) told the committee. "So after those calls, I decided to read the bill very, very carefully and I didn't find anything about sterilizing children."
AB 2218 is on the Senate Appropriation Committee suspense file with a hearing scheduled for this Thursday, August 20th.
Here are other informed consent forms and documents from used by other gender clinics to warn parents and adults of the negative effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones:

Callen-Lorde Community Health Center: Protocols for the Provision of Hormone Therapy

Protests from students at Pretoria Girls High in South Africa have spawned a major victory. Rules banning girls from wearing their hair in natural hairstyles have been suspended, according to BBC News.
Students say they were not allowed to wear afros and were told to straighten their hair. Their protests went viral and quickly garnered support with the hashtag #StopRacismatPretoriaGirlsHigh.
The school as not issued a statement but the province's education minister, Panyaza Lesufi, has launched an investigation into the girls' allegations of racism.
The uprising was not just about the contested hairstyles. The Guateng Department of Education outlined their grievances in a note on Facebook which include the mocking of African languages and the inappropriate response of school officials to objections.
Pretoria Girls High is a prestigious girls high school founded in 1902. It has a code of conduct that outlines guidelines for grooming and dress; however, afros are not mentioned in it.
In the meeting between state and school officials, the school was urged to issue an "unqualified apology" for its actions.

Scott Wedgewood Undergoes Surgery, Out Six Months
November 29, 2016 at 2:49 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment
The New Jersey Devils announced today that goaltender Scott Wedgewood underwent successful shoulder surgery today and will be sidelined for approximately six months. The surgery was to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Wedgewood suffered the injury on Friday November 19th, when he relieved AHL backup Mackenzie Blackwood against the Binghamton Senators.
This is the same shoulder that Wedgewood injured last season and forced him to miss time. This summer, the netminder was one of the final cuts from the New Jersey training camp to the surprise of many. With outstanding AHL numbers in 2015-16 (when he was healthy), many believed that he was ready to step up to an NHL job. Instead, he cleared waivers and was assigned to Albany where he'd been playing well again. In 10 games this season he was 5-3-0 with a .912 save percentage and a 2.18 GAA.
The baby-Devils will now ask two rookie goaltenders to fill the pipes for them, as Blackwood and Ken Appleby are the current duo. While Blackwood has struggled in eight games, Appleby has performed extremely well since a callup from the ECHL. In three games, the 21-year old is undefeated with a .932 save percentage. While Blackwood was the Devils' second-round pick in 2015, Appleby went undrafted after playing his junior hockey with the Oshawa Generals of the OHL.

Watching Innocent Iraqis Die
By Robert Parry (Page 1 of 3 pages) No comments

Reprinted from Consortium News
The next time CNN's Wolf Blitzer boasts about George W. Bush's "successful surge" in Iraq or Newsweek hails "Victory at Last," you should think of the video released by Wikileaks.org this week showing the killing of a group of Iraqi men, including two Reuters newsmen, as they walked nonchalantly through the streets of Baghdad.
Not only did a U.S. military helicopter gunship mow them down amid macho jokes and chuckling after mistaking a couple of cameras for weapons but the American attackers then blew away several Iraqis who arrived in a van and tried to take one of the wounded newsmen to a hospital. Two children in the van were badly wounded.
"Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle," one American remarked.
The videotaped incident entitled "Collateral Murder" by Wikileaks occurred on July 12, 2007, in the midst of President Bush's much-heralded troop "surge," which the U.S. news media has widely credited for reducing violence in Iraq and bringing something close to victory for the United States.
But the U.S. press corps rarely mentions that the "surge" represented one of the bloodiest periods of the war. Beyond the horrific and untallied death toll of Iraqis, more than 1,000 U.S. soldiers died during Bush's "surge" of an additional 30,000 troops into Iraq.
It's also unclear that the "surge" deserves much if any credit for the gradual decline in Iraqi violence, which had already reached turning points in 2006 with the death of al-Qaeda leader Musab al-Zarqawi and the U.S.-funded Sunni Awakening against al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Furthermore, what Bush had already done both by invading Iraq in 2003 in violation of international law and then permitting loose rules of engagement had inflicted unspeakable horrors on the people of Iraq.
Bush turned some U.S. soldiers into wanton murderers who had wide latitude to kill Iraqi "military-age males" or MAMS. Yet, it remains out of bounds for the U.S. mainstream news media to deal honestly with these painful issues or to suggest that Bush should be held accountable as a war criminal.
There was a reason why the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II declared that "to initiate a war of aggression " is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." The Wikileaks video represents one piece of that "accumulated evil" that Bush unpacked.
Killing MAMS
The mowing down of Reuters newsmen Saeed Chmagh, Namir Noor-Eldeen and about 10 others also was not an unusual event, according to veterans of the Iraq War. Indeed, much of Iraq like Afghanistan has been treated as a near-free-fire zone with open season on suspicious-looking MAMS, though these killings rarely attract much media attention.
And, in the few cases that do reach the public, the U.S. soldiers are usually deemed to have operated within the rules of engagement, as happened in the July 12, 2007, case shown from cockpit video obtained by Wikileaks.
One exception to the rule of near impunity was the 10-year sentence meted out to Army Ranger Sgt. Evan Vela for executing an unarmed Iraqi detainee who along with his son had stumbled into a U.S. sniper position in 2007, also during Bush's "surge."
After letting the 17-year-old son go, Vela's squad leader, Staff Sgt. Michael Hensley ordered Vela to use a 9-millimeter pistol to shoot the father, Genei Nesir Khudair al-Janabi, in the head, an order that Vela carried out.
But Vela's guilty verdict from a military court was a rare case of holding a U.S. soldier accountable in the killing or abusing of an Iraqi.
More typically, in November 2007, another military jury acquitted Hensley in the same murder of Janabi as well as in the killing of two other Iraqi men south of Baghdad. That jury ruled that Hensley was following the approved "rules of engagement," though it did convict him of planting an AK-47 on one victim.

Book review: Bible to go!
How can it be all right, when everything is all wrong?
A snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.
The phrase is used by Shakespeare in Hamlet. A trifle is a small thing. Unconsidered here means unnoticed or ignored. A snapper-up is some one who snaps things up or collects them. I have considered the trifles I write about!
Bits and pieces are miscellaneous items, perhaps on a shopping list or in a container. Bits and bobs is an alternative phrase.
I feel like a spare part is often said when other people seem to be managing well without the speaker, who would like to be involved.
Like a coiled spring is jumpy.
Put a spoke in someone's wheel means much the same as a spanner in the works. Most bicycle wheels have spokes.
I was hooked. My interest was caught (like a fish on a hook).
Hook, line and sinker means completely. It describes a fishing rod's constituent parts. Another blogger has adapted this for his blog's title. Muck, line and thinker.
Straight as a die. I am aware of two meanings of the word die when it is a noun. The first is the singular of dice. The second is a tool. Whatever the derivation, the expression means completely honest.
Any old means whatever comes to hand. By contrast not any old means something chosen especially for the purpose.
Any old iron used to be the call of a rag-and-bone man. Steptoe in the comedy TV show (Steptoe and Son) was a rag-and-bone man. When I was a child the local man used a horse and cart to collect unwanted goods to resell. Most mothers stayed at home to look after their children and had a ragbag in which they saved worn-out clothes, for instance. (There were no recycling facilities as we have now. Better items were often saved for jumble sales to raise money for schools, uniformed organisations and the like.) In Lancashire they also shouted, "Donkey stone." The stone doorsteps of houses were a source of pride to their owners and were kept clean by rubbing them with a donkey stone.
is part of a counting song.
A Knick-knack or nick-nack is an ornament or other small item.
My blogs are entered in the UK Blog Awards. Sue's considered trifles is in the education category and Sue's Trifles is in both the education and lifestyle categories. (They are competing with each other in education!) One vote is allowed in each category. There are voting buttons on my blogs and more details in a post (link below).
This saying is used as advice to young brides. Nowadays many husbands share the cooking, but being able to put appetising meals on the table is still an accomplishment which will help a marriage.
Milking it is a phrase meaning making the most of a situation for ones own advantage.
Salad days are the days of one's youth.
A ginger beer plant is similar to a friendship cake. It is liquid in a vessel and contains yeast presumably making it alcoholic. Some is taken off to make drinks and the rest goes on growing (like a plant).
Cut as easily as butter which has not been refrigerated.
Like a warm knife through butter which has been kept cool.
Save your breath to cool your porridge is a time-honoured way of telling someone that talking won't alter a situation.
Most people want something back.
Bread and cakes containing yeast have different names depending on local custom. In the part of Lancashire I used to visit as a child a bread roll of a certain size and shape was called a teacake. The sweeter recipe with dried fruit in it was a currant teacake. Only a few miles away in Manchester, UK the names are different. If you do not want currants, be sure to ask for a barm cake; tea cakes there contain currants. In other parts of the country baps may be plain bread rolls.
Muffins also cause confusion. Nowadays a large cupcake seems to be expected when a muffin is mentioned. I am under the impression that the Muffin man in the nursery rhyme was peddling something more like crumpets.

1v1 defending happens hundreds of time during a game so you can imagine how significant it is to your teams' success. To be successful in 1v1 situations you need to excel at the basics.
- To set up 1v1 defending, create grids 7 x 20 yards for every 2 players you have.
- One ball per grid.
- To gain a point, the attacker must dribble and stop ball on opposite endline, defender must either win the ball or force attacker out of bounds.
- Player A passes to player B, player B then attacks and player A defends using the jockey position.
- Example: Player A passes to player B, makes a banana run to close B down, jockeying into closer position. Defender uses front foot to poke the ball away from attacker and out of bounds winning the ball.
- When 1v1 defending, players should not have shoulders/body square to the attacker, rather should be at approximately a 45 degree angle, knees bent so well balanced.
- This position also allows the defender to easily turn if ball is played past, and also allows defender to dictate which way to try to push the attacker, preferrably towards the nearest sideline both in this case and a real game.
- Defender should NOT just run directly at the attacker, that allows attacker to attack in either direction.
- Defender SHOULD run as the dotted line, in a banana shape, sprinting until within 5 yards and then taking the jockey position (as explained in main page) to work closer. The banana run will naturally force the attacker in one direction giving the advantage to the defender. They will unlikely try to attack into the defender, meaning in the picture above the attacker will attack to the right most often.
- Defender should only use their front foot to try to win the ball. Using the back foot will take longer, cause player to be off balance, and be square to the ball.
- Using the front foot is quicker being closer to the ball, and maintains good balance which is imperative to be successful in defensive soccer situations.
- Remember, stop, coach, demonstrate, and allow your players to show they understand the desired successes!
- Widen grid to increase difficulty.
- Add a 2nd defender element. To do so, have the 2nd defender start 5-7 yards behind the attacker. The 2nd defender cannot move until the attacker has taken 2 touches of the ball. The 1st defender must jockey the attacker allowing enough time for the 2nd defender to get behind the 1st defender as a secondary support. The 2nd defender should not just sprint to the attacker to win the ball, the key focus would be slowing an attack down to allow players to get in behind.
- 15-20 minutes for soccer 1v1 defending drill.


FXStreet (Łódź) - The ECB Monthly Report for August reiterates the information from the central bank's last monetary policy meeting, during which no adjustments were made and president Mario Draghi signaled the intention to wait for the impact of measures implemented in June to become evident.
The report stated that the economic recovery in the Eurozone continues at a moderate pace and that " inflation expectations for the euro area over the medium to long term continue to be firmly anchored in line with the Governing Council's aim of maintaining inflation rates below, but close to, 2%." The TLTROs which will come into effect in September, should " enhance the accommodative monetary policy stance," while the Governing Council is stepping up work on the asset purchase program.
The report also pointed to heightened downside risks to the Eurozone economy stemming from the recent intensification of geopolitical tensions, developments in EM economies and in global financial markets.
According to ECB's professional forecasters Eurozone GDP should expand by 1% this year, by 1.5% in 2015 and by 1.7% in 2016. As far as inflation is concerned it should rise by 0.7% this year, by 1.2% the next and accelerate to 1.5% in 2016.
