Stopping in a relatively new spot, we were hoping to catch an early performance from a band we had not heard in quite a while; instead, we got something completely different. It was not bad, but not exactly what we were looking for. The Kansas City Power & Light District, the Kill Devil Club, and many other establishments really should make a greater effort to ensure that the information on their web site is correct. The flyer had been sitting on my desktop for several months, and we confirmed the date on their respective web sites that day. The band, Grand Marquis was nowhere to be found though. Another local group called Shades of Jade was setting up to play instead. We were only out for a late evening drink and a couple of tunes anyhow, and we decided to give them a chance.
The Kill Devil Club is not all that new of a spot, but it was the first time we had been there. It turned out to be a nice. Dimly lit, it was not so dark that you could not see around a room darkly decorated in blacks and reds. There is plenty of seating throughout the place at small two and four-person tables, along with lots of cozy lounge-type seating around the perimeter of the room. The service was good, and generally friendly, but terribly slow. The food seemed a bit over-priced, and drinks about the same as you might expect anywhere else in the District.
Shades of Jade played well, after they found their groove. The female vocalist had a sweet voice that carried nicely over the apparent rift between the drummer and the keyboardist, smoothing the situation out. The latter seemed to be battling each other for control of the tempo throughout the first few songs; either that, or the songs themselves demanded that sort of activity, but it did not really seem so at the time. I think it likely had more to do with the how they had arranged themselves, which really said a lot about whom thought who was in charge of tempo. The keyboard player positioned himself in the back center, where a drummer usually sits; the drummer was off to the side. They should probably reconsider this arrangement. The battle seemed to sort itself out by third song though. It is hard to tell, since the first set was really only 4 songs.
We headed out after that, so have no idea how well the rest of the night went. Folks were starting to arrive, and the place was slowly but deliberately filling up. We plan to make another trip to the Kill Devil Club and have a listen to Grand Marquis, and maybe Levee Town too. Looking over their flyer of upcoming events, they seem to have a good line-up of local talent; of course, that is, if the calendar can be trusted.

St Louis is the "Gateway to the Midwest" and offers a wide variety of unique attractions and one-of-a-kind dining options. There is something for everyone, from the monumental to the funky, which makes St. Louis an amazing destination.
Start off by taking a tour of one of America's most magnificent theatres, the Fabulous Fox. The Fox Theatre opened in 1929 as one of the crown jewels in William Fox's motion picture empire. C. Howard Crane, one of the most distinguished movie palace architects of the era, designed the Fox at a cost of six million dollars. The Fox was justifiably billed as "St. Louis' largest and most magnificent temple of amusement." Fox's wife, Eve Leo, filled the theatre with paintings, sculptures and furnishings gathered from her travels around the world for the astronomical sum of $700,000. A giant four-manual Wurlitzer organ , one of only five of its type ever built, filled the hall with music from its 36 ranks and 2,700 pipes. At a carefully selected moment, the Fox's mighty Wurlitzer would rise from the depths of the theatre in a spectacular blaze of light.
You'll really enjoy the tram tour of the Missouri Botanical Gardens, one of the top three Botanical Gardens in the world! Rest your feet, relax and enjoy the sights!

Q: Add values to an external file in the form of columns I would like to know how I can put the values resulting from my loops into the external file in form of columns. I have this code:
Perhaps a very specific brief explanation of what I would like to obtain could help me a bit, I have a group of particles that fall on the surface of the earth around a point (0.0) each with their respective weights and I would like to know the sum of the weights of the particles that fall within the rings of internal radius Ri and external Rj (the external radius of the first ring becomes the internal radius of the ring that follows it)
 #Insert the radio values
 #For example Ri_0=-20
 #For example Rj_max=4000
 #For example Bin=40

 data=pd.read_csv("photons.txt", header=0, delim_whitespace=True)

 df=pd.DataFrame(data)`

 Ri_0=input("Insert the internal minimum radius value: ")

 Rj_max=input("Insert the external maximum radius value: ")

 Bin= input("Insert the bin: ")

 R_internals=range(Ri_0,Rj_max+1,Bin)
 Ri=list(R_internals)
 Rj=[]
 R=[]

 for m in Ri:
     R_externals=m+Bin
     Rj.append(R_externals)

 for d,f in zip(Ri,Rj):
     R_average=(d+f)/2
     R.append(R_average)

 import zipfile

 #Loops
 count=0

 #I think the problem is in this loop

 for i,j in zip(Ri,Rj):
     for r in df["radio"]:
         if r >= i and r <= j:
             d=df[df['radio']==r]['ParWeight'].iloc[0]
             count=count+d

I have a problem adding the sum of the weights of the particles that fall within the internal radius ring Ri and external Rj and then adding it to an external file in the form of a data column and next to it the value of R that comes to be the average of Ri and Rj, I get a systematic error because it adds the value of the sum of weights of all the particles and does not separate them by ring, I attach the file "photons.txt" in the next link [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YM0U3UN4p1OGvbiajZakMWtQSmyZoCkN/view?usp=sharing]
I was several days to trying to solve that problem.
Thanks so much.

A: Bryan, before function definition I am using your code and your data. Then my idea is to find where each radius is fall into in your Ri array. Once I find where each radius falls in I add up all weights per each group. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

data_file = r"D:\workspace\projects\misc\data\photons.txt"
df = pd.read_csv(data_file, delimiter="\t")

Ri_0 = -20
Rj_max = 4000
Bin = 40

R_internals=range(Ri_0,Rj_max+1,Bin)
Ri=list(R_internals)

def getRadiusBoundary(x, listBoundaries):
    """ This function will place a specific radius to its boundaries.
        Indexes of external and internal radiuses are used
    """
    for i in range(len(listBoundaries)):
        if x <= listBoundaries[0]:
            return 0
        elif x > listBoundaries[len(listBoundaries) - 1]:
            return len(listBoundaries)

        idx = [i+1 for i in range(len(listBoundaries)-1) if listBoundaries[i] < x and x <= listBoundaries[i+1]]
        return idx[0]

# this is a dictionary that maps radius groups to its boundaries
dictRadiusMapping = {i+1: [Ri[i], Ri[i+1]] for i in range(len(Ri)-1)}
dictRadiusMapping[0] = [-np.inf, Ri[0]]
dictRadiusMapping[len(Ri)] = [Ri[len(Ri) - 1], np.inf]

# here I am placing each radius into its appropriate group (finding its [external, internal] boundaries)
df["radius_group"] = df["radio"].apply(lambda x: getRadiusBoundary(x, Ri))
radius_sums = df.groupby("radius_group")["ParWeight"].sum().reset_index() # summing for each radius group
radius_sums.columns = ["radius_group", "weight_sum"]
radius_sums["radiuses"] = radius_sums["radius_group"].map(dictRadiusMapping)

The Alex Jones Origin Story: On Austin Public Access TV, His Act Was Never an Act
By Harmon Leon • 04/17/19 7:30am
Right from the start, Alex Jones was always the paranoid, screaming conspiracy theory guy. Malik Dupree for Observer
In the Sandy Hook deposition videos, Alex Jones looks like a broken man. His normal red-faced screaming self is very subdued as he's being sued for bringing misery to the parents of murdered children at Sandy Hook. He claimed the massacre was a hoax. This lie, he created, is a lot bigger than, say, declaring Obama is a secret Muslim or Glenn Beck is a CIA operative. Jones perpetuated, to his army of loyal followers, that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a staged "false flag" operation, the grieving parents were paid actors, and the children who were killed simply did not exist.
You know, typical Alex Jones shit of sowing chaos in the world.
Subscribe to Observer's Politics Newsletter
Jones began his career in Austin, Texas, back in the '90s, as a local cable access cult figure at ACATV (Austin Community Access Television). He built a rabid national audience by spewing out conspiracy theories and manically declaring all major calamities as inside jobs. Donald Trump appeared on his show a few years back and praised Jones' barking-at-the-moon style by saying, "Your reputation is amazing." Jones, in turn, helped usher the conspiracy-theorist-in-chief into the White House.
Now, in 2019, Jones has been kicked off almost every major social media platform and has been removed from iTunes and Spotify. His reputation is no longer amazing.
The lawsuits contend that Jones showed a reckless disregard for the truth which caused distress to the parents of the Sandy Hook victims. In his deposition, Jones blamed his mental state on "the trauma of the media and the corporations lying so much," adding that a "form of psychosis" made him believe events, such as the Sandy Hook massacre, were staged.
In the videos, in which Jones' is being grilled by lawyers, is he simply putting on an act?
"I was told he was advised to say that psychosis thing," said Charlie Sotelo, who was a producer alongside Jones during his ACATV days (and as you'll learn later in this story, once punched Alex Jones in the face). "He's always exaggerated the meaning of anything he uncovers. He's daisy-chaining these wild ideas," Sotelo continued. "He's trying to get views. He's trying to get attention. And whatever was said, that's just the way it came out that day."
To best understand Alex Jones, we need to first understand his origin story; Observer spoke to people who knew him when he first started broadcasting on ACATV, where he burst onto the scene as the same, albeit much less polished, raving lunatic that we know today… who has always had a problem with the truth.
The Alex Jones we know today is pretty much the same Alex Jones who had an Austin public access TV show in the '90s—only now, he has a national audience. Drew Angerer/Getty Images
Alex Jones' Early Days Creeping Out Fellow Employees
To set the stage, ACATV in the '90s was pure Austin at it's weirdest. Sure, the internet was around, but not in the way we know it today. So the local public access TV, channels 10 and 16, were populated by a never-ending string of shows: eccentric, religious, bizarre and just plain unlike anything anyone had ever seen.
"Basically the whole thing was a typical Austin thing," said Kerry Awn, a local comedian who also had a public access show at the time called The Ronnie Velveeta Show.
The ACATV broadcasting ethos was: "Hey! Have your own show—just come on down and do it," Awn explained.
Such local homespun public access oddities included an accordion-wielding singing Austrian, a fundamentalist preacher who wore a toilet seat around his neck, and of course, a 22-year-old Alex Jones who ranted about black helicopters, the illuminati, and how NASA faked the moon landing.
Right from the start, Jones was always the paranoid, screaming conspiracy theory guy—who'd be setting the rest of the world straight—and never yielded to common sense, truth or fact.
"He was amusing at first in a crazy, tin foil hat kind of way," said Shelly Tumbleson, another former ACATV producer. "But then came the very uncomfortable realization that what we saw on TV then wasn't an act. In the coming months, I would meet him in person and find that he was the exact same person off-camera as he was when he was in front of one."
"I remember him taking classes, I remember going on the air. He was easily rattled in those early days," relayed Sotelo. "He was defenseless; he was 22-years-old and putting himself on TV for the first time."
From the onset, Sotelo said Jones' whole act was, "I'm burdened by how much knowledge I have—and I have to share it with you guys because it's my duty—and he was burdened by his responsibility to society."
On his early shows, Jones would sit behind a desk in front of a star map of the universe and take calls, ranting red-faced into a camera about the police state, the New World Order and exposing the shadowy elites.
"It was all made up. It's just an act," Sotelo said. "I don't feel he believes what he's saying. I think he's just looking for the thing to say… that's going to get him through this particular broadcast… and next time, he'll worry about next time."
Now that Jones is famous, people seem to approach him with some sort of credibility; fame makes people think he's a journalist or someone with more expertise than just a right-wing media figurehead. In the early days, as with his later conspiracies about Sandy Hook, Sotelo could see through the act; the more Jones screamed, the more people would listen.
"I didn't approach him like, 'Oh, he's this expert guy.' I just approached him like this kid who was saying whatever he could think of, so it was painfully obvious to me the whole time," said Sotelo. "He's just saying whatever is popping into his dumb slow head right now."
Over the years at ACATV, Jones developed a thicker skin: "He just got better at it. He figured out how to broadcast," stated Sotelo, who saw early on that Jones' agenda was to profit from being entertaining, shocking or compelling—despite validity of truth. "It just got to the point where it was indistinguishable," Sotelo continued, adding that it should be apparent that this is a guy with some sort of emotional or mental condition. "I can see the difference because I knew him before he was on TV."
According to Awn, Jones was initially trying to spoof such media figures as Rush Limbaugh, Morton Downey Jr. and paranormal radio host Art Bell.
"It was kind of a take off one of those guys," said Awn, who saw his formula as,"I'll take something with a kernel of truth in it and just build around it."
"He seemed like one of these guys—whose dad was a doctor [dentist, actually] or kind of rich—that as a kid, he got everything; that he got a car when he was 16, a Mustang or something," Awn said of his first impression of Jones. "You know, everything was kind of given to him. That was my impression back in those days."
Jones would sometimes even appear as a guest on Awn's public access show, "He did impressions. He did Darth Vader," recalled Awn—who thought Jones was going to steer towards a different career path. "He really wanted to be a stand-up [comedian] is what I can gather."
"What he was doing was kind of a shtick. He knew it was show business," said Awn. "And then, he got real big—and now he probably believes it all."
Within the first month of launching his public access show, Jones' persona began to spill out off-camera to the other employees at ACATV.
"He'd pretend to be hugely popular and hugely well-known," said Sotelo. "He's just the sort of guy who was always bullshitting and always talking about how great he is, how everyone loves him, how famous he is… Every word out of his mouth was just self-aggrandizing."
From the very beginning, Sotelo knew Jones was trouble. He'd walk into a room and see Jones cornering an ACATV employee: "Alex is right next to their desk talking some bullshit to them… 'I did this and I did that…' Talking about his 185 IQ…"
Sotelo noted that the common look on fellow coworkers' faces when cornered by Jones was always, "Kill me, kill me—please kill me now."
"He was a joke. Everyone avoided him. He'd just corner you and just wouldn't let you go," said Sotelo. "He was like a child who couldn't understand that everyone could tell you're lying. It was just constant tall tales. It was just the way he communicated; he didn't know how to be normal. He had to be boasting. He had to talk about how accomplished he was—or how popular he was. I mean every single thing out of his mouth was image manipulation."
Sotelo believes that Jones' entire psyche comes from a place of deep insecurity. He also sees Jones, and his personality disorder, in tune with another controversial figure he helped push into office.
"He's pretty much Donald Trump."
For the first few years, people kept watching Jones' public access show because he was so absurd—there was no plausibility; he was clearly just a raving madman.
"I always thought it was hugely irresponsible for him to say [whatever] he wants on the air because people believe it, and then their worldview is shaped by it," said Sotelo.
Yes, after a while, people started believing the rantings of Jones and took everything he said to be gospel—be it the government weaponizing weather or Hillary Clinton's Pizzagate pedophile ring.
"What started off as, 'Ha! Look at this silly joke,' ended up being, 'Oh no, this guy's going to be a monster!'" said Sotelo. "And he just got good at that. And people started buying it."
Sotelo saw that Jones would sometimes use the same reports to mean two different things—depending on what he was saying at the moment. Jones also began manipulating TV segments from 60 Minutes; he'd add a new voiceover that contained a different narrative, such as the military forcing people into FEMA concentration camps, and tried to pass it off as his own.
"It was utterly surreal and creepy," recalled Tumbleson. "His dialog was rambling, incoherent, angry and showcased his ongoing separation from reality."
Tumbleson said he posted a note at the studio scolding Jones—pointing out the legal ramifications of passing off someone else's intellectual property. Jones tore down the note within the hour.
But what really gave Jones credibility were endorsements by local Texas celebrities.
Comedian Bill Hicks embraced him over his rants about Waco. Mike Judge appeared on his show. Richard Linklater used him in his films Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.
"I know all those guys," said Sotelo. "It affected my relationship with a couple of them because I wasn't quiet about how irresponsible [Jones] is."
Sotelo also noted how Kelly Nichols, Jones ex-wife, really deserves the credit for building his media empire. She was the first one who got him TV attention, she got him on the internet, and also became the webmaster of InfoWars. Nichols basically focused Jones' whole career.
"He wouldn't have been able to put it together without her. Her career was making him a thing. And she did it. Straight up. Without her, we would not know who he was today," said Sotelo. "She deserves more than half of his money."

Alex Jones Gets Punched in the Face in a Parking Lot
The shows that appeared on ACATV had an interactive component; in the days before internet trolls, viewers were allowed to call in live. So imagine how this would go down with a young, unknown, ranting Alex Jones.
A loose collective of local weirdos, who called themselves Anathema Enterprises, were obsessed with prank-calling Alex Jones. Their m.o. was to disrupt the show with a barrage of abuse on the call-in lines.
The pranksters, led by a man named Clayton Counts (who went by the moniker: SpaceHitler), would phone in just to fuck up Jones' show, screaming "DIE! DIE! DIE!" or calling him "Jarhead Jones," which infuriated him to no end.
The result? "Alex would melt down and freak out," said Sotelo. "He would lunge at the callbox to disconnect them; he would get into fights with them. He was a mess."
And then, there was an incident that took place in the parking lot of the public access station that characterized the way Jones would sensationalize and spin stories in the decades to come. Police records show the incident took place in 1997.
Jones held an open house at ACATV, where he invited viewers down to the station and provided a little food spread.
"It was just an attempt to get friends and fans and all that," said Sotelo. But the only people who showed up were Jones' phone hecklers. "The 'Die! Die! Die!' guy showed up [with] one of his other friends and kind of a younger scrappy kid."
Apparently, Jones recognized the main heckler's voice, got aggressive and said something like: "You're the guys who are constantly disrupting my show, I've had about enough of it!"
When Sotelo showed up, the group was in the ACATV lobby trading insults. But what really set Jones off was a singular word directed at him by one of the hecklers. The little scrappy guy uttered a singular word: "Jarhead"
"And Alex twisted up his face—like he was in a movie—and said, 'Do you want to step outside!?'" Sotelo recalled.
Jones then bolted to the door, quickly walked to his car, grabbed something from underneath the seat, and shoved it into his belt loop.
According to Sotelo, Jones then started ranting to the scrappy guy: "This is my place of business! I have a gun! I can shoot you! You are threatening me at my place of business! I can hold my ground here!"
The scrappy guy took a step back, which emboldened Jones, who puffed out his chest and continued to threaten the guy. "And the guy just goes, 'You know what? Fucking just shoot me then!'" explained Sotelo. "He just pops him with a roundhouse."
"It just stunned Alex," Sotelo continued. "Alex was just dazed for a couple of seconds. And the guy just hit him again—two solid shots to the face. And Alex starts hitting back, and it's like he's just throwing his hands straight forward; it's really inept."
Not only was the little scrappy guy kicking Alex Jones' ass, but he was also shit-talking to him between punches: "Oh, you're a professional fighter." POP! "Oh, you do this for a living." POP!
"He hits Alex, no exaggeration, eight to 10 times in the face—and all of them were good," recalled Sotelo.
As the pummeling continued, Sotelo had a moment of sympathy—as it's not pleasant to see anyone, even a bully blowhard, being annihilated—and yelled, "Alex, go inside!"
Jones looked over at Sotelo and got hit in the face once again.
"And Alex is just out of control on adrenaline. He's just entirely jacked up," Sotelo remembered.
When the three hecklers finally hit the road, in true Alex Jones fashion, he immediately started ranting about the incident, building the story to fit his own exaggerated narrative.
"There was four or five of them… They had a knife… And they were trying to…"
Jones then came up to Sotelo and said, "Why the fuck are you on their side!?"
"And he spits blood," said Sotelo. "He spits saliva and blood. It hits my mouth. It hits my shirt, my brand new shirt, I just got for Christmas—that I was going to wear on TV for the first time."
Jones then threw a hugely ineffective punch in Sotelo's direction.
"His forearm hits the side of my neck," Sotelo recalled. "I'm furious. He's just streaming blood. There's a lot of blood to be had."
There was only one natural thing for Sotelo to do.
"So, I punched him in the face!"
"I think everyone kind of wanted to punch Alex Jones," Awn recollected. "Alex was always kind of loud—pushy bully kind of guy. I think Charlie [Sotelo] just had enough."
When the cops arrived, they got everyone's side of the story. And Jones was completely out of control. As the other witnesses tried to give their accounts, Jones couldn't stop interrupting and screaming they were liars—to the point where the cops basically said, "We will take you to jail! You're interfering with an investigation."
The officers just hated Jones.
"Because he was annoying as fuck man," explained Sotelo. "He was hopped up on adrenaline. He was 20 years less mature than he is now. And he wouldn't shut up. He was telling clearly a tall tale."
One officer looked Sotelo right in the eye, and said, "We saw the tape and if you want to press charges, we can take him to jail right now."
"And [the cop is] nodding 'yes,' vigorously," said Sotelo.
In the police report, Jones' account reads like a ranting InfoWars segment about chemicals in the water that are turning frogs gay.
Jones' sworn affidavit to police says there were not three, but four to five men ("counter culture Generation X types") and says the ringleader "had a double-edged military type killing knife… He is very strange looking. He has eyes that look like a goat… He has pasty white green skin… I am in fear of losing my life."
"They got his side of the story," said Sotelo. "It was fantastical. Because there were no goat people…"
The police report also states, at the time, Jones was working for his dentist dad at Castle Dental.
"And his dad got there just in time and yanked him back and allowed the cops to talk to everyone," Sotelo explained. "He was exasperated with his out-of-control son, and he was literally the only adult in the room."
Jones' dad paid off Sotelo: "Yeah, he wrote me a check for $100. I was sure it was for the shirt, but now I think it might have been in exchange for not pressing charges."
This type of parental interaction seemed to be a recurring theme in Jones' life. On a recent "This American Life" episode about Jones' high school days, Jon Ronson reported on how Jones' dad paid off another guy who got in a fight with his son as a means to avoid pressing charges—perhaps a clue that those weren't the only two times that Alex Jones' father had to pay people off to avoid legal action. Shortly after the high school fight, Jones' father moved his entire family from Dallas to Austin because of the incident.
In recent years, as he's done all along, Jones has tried to change the narrative about the parking lot fight. He told The Austin American-Statesman back in 2013 that it was all, "Total fiction, pure bull, absolute, just fraud. The whole thing is just fraud."
That's right, to Jones, who rambles on how the government uses psychedelics to communicate with aliens, being punched in the face in the parking lot of ACATV was "fake news."
Apparently though, Jones has not learned his lesson about picking fights in public. This past March, Jones started ranting and raving inside Lucy's Fried Chicken in Austin—trading insults with diners by calling them "libtards" and spewing about "free speech in America."
But instead of a fight, like he had back in the '90s, Jones was laughed out of the establishment. On his website, Jones said diners cursed at him while he ate and then heckled him when he tried to leave.
"They baited me like a matador does with a bull," he said to justify his tirade. "Go listen to your NPR and all your other bullshit," he yelled. "America and the world is awake to anti-free speech scum like you and bullies like you."
Surprisingly, Jones failed to mention how all the diners had goat eyes.
"It's not an act. It's never been an act. It never will be," summarized Tumbleson. "The only person convinced that Alex Jones is an act is Alex Jones, and that's only when the light of consequences are shined upon him. The act he puts up is the few solitary moments when he pretends to be coherent—like when he's in front of a judge or at a deposition. THAT is the act."
"He tries to portray all this showbiz shtick now because a bunch of lawyers are just breathing down his neck," concluded Awn. "Maybe he should have stayed local. In Austin, he could have been tolerated, you know, as an oddity."
For Sotelo, the biggest danger of Alex Jones' influence is his ability to create an army of people who have mistrust in everything, who feel they can't win because the system is always stacked against them. So, they look toward Alex Jones to direct them by listening to the bullshit that comes out his mouth, so he'll tell them where to steer their lives—and sometimes, as we have seen, that cul-de-sac leads them directly to the parents of Sandy Hook victims.
"And that just seems profoundly irresponsible to do because once you start believing stuff, you start incorporating things, and that's your world to you now," said Sotelo. "And it's all for his own glorification."

London's Tube And Bus Fares Will See Their Biggest Annual Rise In A Decade
Alex Landon • 14 February, 2022
London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced the news today (February 14).
Londoners will face the biggest rise to their travel fares around the city in a decade, it has been confirmed. In a fortnight, tube and bus fares will go up by an average of nearly 5%.
The jump in prices reflects the inflation rises, and will mean passengers are expected to pay £151m more to travel this year.
When using Oyster or contactless tickets, fares will jump by 10p in zone one, while journeys across the rest of the network will jump between 10p to 30p. Bus fares will face a larger proportionate rise, with fares hitting £1.65, another jump of 10p per journey.
The total increases across the TfL services, including previously announced moves such as the ban on free travel for over-60s before 9am, hits an average of 4.8%. It marks the biggest rises since 2012, when then-Mayor Boris Johnson hiked up fares by nearly 6%.
Mayor Sadiq Khan said: "Since TfL's finances were decimated by the pandemic, the Government has set strict conditions as part of the emergency funding deals to keep essential transport services running in London.
"We have been forced into this position by the Government and the way it continues to refuse to properly fund TfL, but I have done everything in my power to keep fares as affordable as possible."
TfL reportedly must generate £500m more a year to reach the Government target of breaking even on a day-to-day basis by April 2023. Currently, the rate of use across the network is around 60% of pre-pandemic levels.
What price changes are being made across TfL services?
Contactless and Oyster zone one pay-as-you-go fares rise by 10p to £2.50.
"Hopper" bus routes that allow multiple journeys within one hour to rise by 10p to £1.65.
Daily cap on pay-as-you-go routes on the Tube rises to rise by 3.8%.
Cap on bus journeys to rise by 30p to £4.95.
Free travel for children under 11 to remain.
Emirates cable car to rise by 25% to £5.
Minimum cash fare on the Tube to rise by 80p to £6.30.

Create distinct activity zones with a well-designed furniture layout.
You can live large in a 600-foot studio apartment by decorating it with the right colors, textures and accents to make it feel homey, uncluttered and fresh. Furnish the space with pieces that accommodate your lifestyle needs, while maintaining an open, airy feel. Incorporate special items that you love, such as an heirloom vase, a favorite painting or vacation mementos, to add a personal touch to your small home.
Before you move into a small studio, measure it to create a pencil-and-paper or computer-generated sketch of the available space. Next, think about how you want to use the open floor plan, and prioritize the activities that are most important to you. For example, if you yearn for a defined sleeping area, but you shy away from hosting dinner parties, create a separate spot for your bedroom and plan for a small dining area with a space-saving dinette set. Take advantage of natural focal points, such as a fireplace or wall of windows, by designing your floor plan around these architectural features. In a compact apartment, focus on a floor plan that is functional; avoid cluttering the apartment with unnecessary furniture and excessive accents.
Even though you can't generate additional square footage, you can optimize the existing floor space. Use the vertical wall areas to help get things off the floor. Fill a vacant wall with a towering, open-shelf storage unit to create a mini-library for your books. Display framed photographs, potted plants, decorative vases and other personal treasures throughout the shelves. Slide matching woven baskets onto a few of the shelves as a convenient spot to stash small electronics, DVDs, office supplies and table linens. Hang a flat-screen television on the wall opposite your sitting area, and install open shelves on bare kitchen walls to decoratively store plates, cups, stemware and other dishes.
Make your small apartment work well for you by furnishing it with accommodating pieces to fit the available space. Multifunctional furniture, such as a sectional couch that also makes a comfortable bed, portable cube storage ottomans, a dining table that does double-duty as a work space, and a fold-out sofa bed saves valuable floor space. Create visual separation between activity zones with a two-sided shelving unit, portable screen dividers or floor-to-ceiling draperies. Outfit your sleeping area with a platform bed that has built-in drawers for stashing clothing, extra bed linens or seasonal items, such as gloves, hats and scarves. Choose opaque window treatments to provide optimal privacy, or select translucent sheers to allow natural light to filter indoors.
Decorate the 600-foot living area with meaningful accessories and favorite colors to reflect your design personality. For example, create glamorous illumination by hanging a sparkling chandelier above your dining table. Apply a light paint hue -- misty gray, creamy ivory, winter white, barely beige -- to the walls to provide a neutral, airy backdrop for almost any color scheme. Create a single feature wall that shows off your decorating mood, such as whimsical wallpaper to convey a light-hearted aura, bold color to rev up the energy level or mirror tiles to enhance glitzy uptown appeal. Hang an arrangement of your favorite black-and-white photographs on a bland wall to boost the visual interest with personal panache. Place a few natural green plants and vases of fresh flowers on tabletops and fireplace mantels to bring a slice of the outdoors inside.

My Phone Jack Does Not Work: Should the Landlord Pay for This?


"An Arizona man has filed a federal lawsuit against some of the state's top judges, claiming they're taking away his freedom of speech and right to own firearms, all because someone didn't like what he wrote on his blog.
The scenario started when Palmer, a 55-year-old Christian missionary from Phoenix, was online discussing "spiritual death" often referred to in the Bible.
But, according to the suit, a woman from Prescott, Ariz., Melody Thomas-Morgan, complained to authorities that Palmer was threatening her with "death," keeping that word in quotes in her legal filings.
Kenton Jones, superior court judge for Yavapai County, went along with the woman's harassment complaint and ordered Palmer to surrender his guns.
"The order says that I am not allowed to possess firearms or ammunition, and directs me to turn over any weapons to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office," Palmer told WND.
In 43 years, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the son of a Hollywood publicist, has graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, deployed to Vietnam, commanded an aircraft carrier strike group and the Second Fleet, detoured through Harvard Business School and become the nation's highest-ranking naval officer.
… But it is what Mullen did last week that may be most remembered: He called out Pakistan.
When White House officials distanced themselves from Mullen's strong words, the chairman held firm.
Throughout the U.S. armed forces today, many feel that too few service members are receiving the nation's top award for valor.
The Medal of Honor, in past wars a symbol of the selflessness and valor of American service members, has been mostly missing from America's twenty-first century conflicts. Only ten Medals of Honor have been awarded for action in recent conflicts – six for Afghanistan and four for Iraq. The nation awarded 464 Medals of Honor for actions in World War II, 135 for the Korean War and 246 for Vietnam. On Oct. 7, 2011, the war in Afghanistan will enter its eleventh year, making Afghanistan the United States' longest war if the length of U.S. involvement in Vietnam is measured from Aug. 7, 1964 to January 1973.

Cutting Through the Lone-Wolf Hype is republished with permission of STRATFOR.
Lone wolf. The mere mention of the phrase invokes a sense of fear and dread. It conjures up images of an unknown, malicious plotter working alone and silently to perpetrate an unpredictable, undetectable and unstoppable act of terror. This one phrase combines the persistent fear of terrorism in modern society with the primal fear of the unknown.
Does Venezuela pose a nuclear threat to the US? Have they put Iran at our doorstep?
"The German newspaper, Die Welt, reported on Nov. 25, 2010 of a deal Iran struck to establish a military missile base on the northwestern shores of Venezuela. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is vying with Ahmadinejad for the title of most anti-American thug on the planet. According to Die Welt, Venezuela agreed to allow Iran establish a military base manned by Iranian missile officers, Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers and Venezuelan missile officers.
Iran also granted Chavez permission to use the missiles in case of an "emergency" and for "national needs" – radically increasing the threat to pro-American neighbors like Colombia. The report says Iran planned to place a variety of medium-range ground-to-ground missiles on the base.
In a related article published Dec. 8, 2010 by the Hudson Institute in New York, Anna Mahjar-Barducci cites published Russian reports of additional weapon sales to Venezuela, conveniently skirting around a UN sanction against Iran. The sale includes "five battalions of S-300PMU-1 air defence systems and a number of other weapons" originally contracted to Iran for $800 million. "If Iran, therefore, cannot get the S-300 directly from Russia, it can still have them through its proxy, Venezuela, and deploy them against its staunchest enemy, the U.S." writes Mahjar-Barducci.
The Iran-Venezuela-Russia alliance establishes a missile base with nuclear weapons potential right "in the United States soft underbelly (and) many US cities will be able to be reached from there even with short-medium range missiles," she warns.
Die Welt reported on May 13, 2011 that an Iranian engineering team had visited Venezuela in February, and confirmed the missile complex site is to be on the Paraguana peninsula – the northernmost tip of Venezuela. The article indicates that Iran and Venezuela will construct a complex of 20 meter deep underground silos for the Shahab-3 medium-range missiles. The article explains that the agreement between Venezuela and Iran would mean Chavez would fire missiles at "Iran's enemies" should Iran face military strikes.
Over the past half century, the right of citizens in Western countries to defend themselves has eroded.
This is partly due to neglect. As our societies have urbanized, we have shown greater willingness to let professional police officers defend our loved ones, our property and ourselves. After all, more of us now live closer to police stations than our parents, or certainly our grandparents.
But the erosion of our right to selfdefence has also been a deliberate initiative by governments. Increasingly, politicians, policy-makers, academics and police have come to think that citizens who take up weapons – firearms or otherwise – to defend themselves are as dangerous to social peace as criminals.
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.
"A Taliban suicide bomber on Tuesday killed Burhanuddin Rabbani, former Afghan president and head of the government's peace council, a dramatic show of insurgent reach and a heavy blow to hopes of reaching a political end to the war.
The killing was a strong statement of Taliban opposition to peace talks, and as the latest in a string of high-profile assassinations will increase the apprehension of ordinary Afghans about their future as the insurgency gathers pace.
The Evolution of a Pakistani Militant Network is republished with permission of STRATFOR.
For many years now, STRATFOR has been carefully following the evolution of "Lashkar-e-Taiba" (LeT), the name of a Pakistan-based jihadist group that was formed in 1990 and existed until about 2001, when it was officially abolished. In subsequent years, however, several major attacks were attributed to LeT, including the November 2008 coordinated assault in Mumbai, India. Two years before that attack we wrote that the group, or at least its remnant networks, were nebulous but still dangerous. This nebulous nature was highlighted in November 2008 when the "Deccan Mujahideen," a previously unknown group, claimed responsibility for the Mumbai attacks.

Class 2, Standard Pruning: Pruning from a step ladder with hand pruners, chainsaw and/or polesaw. Most ornamentals and many shade trees can be trimmed to the customer's satisfaction in a Class 2 job. Class II Pruning may have an positive aesthetic outcome, but aesthetic considerations are secondary to the health of the tree. Class II pruning is generally focused on the structural integrity, and the long term health of the tree.
Class 3, Hazard Pruning (cutting 2" diameter or greater): Pruning from aerial bucket truck or lift. Class 3 is recommended for proper care of mature trees and can completely cover many of the smaller shade trees and larger ornamental and/or fruit trees (where applicable). Class 3, or hazard pruning are the larger trees, where branches can cause damage, expert safety is a must, and much more equipment is needed to do the job correctly. Girdling roots, and the presence of any disease condition is reported to the owner, and corrective measures are recommended.
Class 4, Crown Reduction Pruning: Crown Reduction pruning shall consist of reduction of tops, sides or individual limbs. It is the removal of large portions of the tree, which can be very difficult to perform without killing the tree. This practice is only undertaken in rare situations, for example: A situation where a branch interfere's with a utility line or some other safety hazard, there has been severe storm damage, or previous incorrect pruning has damaged the tree and it is necessary to reduce the tree for its long term health.
Class 2 -4 Techniques: Pruning using possible combination of climbing, bucket truck, and/or other methods.
Crown Raising is trimming to raise clearance of low lying limbs from ground, buildings or utility lines. The needs of the individual may vary, though there are ideal heights for each situation we that we recommend. 6-10 ft of clearance over buildings or structures helps keep appearances sharp while protecting your property from possible damage in a severe weather event. Very heavy limbs growing over buildings have the potential to do the most damage when strong winds and precipitation combine. Clearance over sidewalks and outdoor recreation areas should be 8-10 ft. Many cities maintain or require 14 ft minimum over streets and right of ways. Finally, 10-12 ft of clearance from any overhead utility line is essential to safety.

Garmin wearables have sleep tracking built into most of the range, but others like Fitbit, for instance, offer more insight into sleep tracking which they call Sleep insights and now Garmin is working away quietly on something that is called Garmin advanced sleep tracking.
Currently, a Garmin fitness tracker or GPS fitness watch can give you sleep tracking like when you fall to sleep and when you wake up giving you an overall time sleeping calculation. You can also see periods of when you woke in the night along with deep and light sleep, but right now its all fairly limited in what else you can see.
So according to sources, the new Garmin advanced sleep tracking will use the built-in optical HR sensor to track heart-rate variability to better estimate time in light, deep, and REM sleep. Currently, sleep graphs and charts in Garmin Connect already account for sleep stages and awake time, but the new feature should make this information more accurate than it was before.
Some of the "in the know" readers or people with Fitbit's will be yelling, yes my Fitbit already does this, but I am all for challenging others and seeing the differences in technology. So let's see what Garmin bring with the newly advanced sleep tracking when its launched.


STARSKIN Sunset Strips 3-Step Advanced Pore Cleansing Expert System are deep cleansing pore strips that unclog pores and remove blackheads, leaving your skin clear, soft and smooth.
STARSKIN Sunset Strips 3-Step Advanced Pore Cleansing Expert System is a unique system of 3 pore strips that work together to give you the ultimate in safe and easy blackhead removal.
Strip 1 is your prepping strip, a cotton strip that's saturated in a special serum that contains softening Witch Hazel and unclogging Mistletoe to soften skin and ready pores for easier blackhead removal. Strip 2 is where the magic happens - it uses purifying Charcoal to extract blackheads and pore-clogging debris. Strip 3 is your skin finisher. It's a bio-cellulose mask that contains soothing, anti-irritating and healing ingredients like amino acids Betaine and Arginine plus refining Eucalyptus to leave pores deep down squeaky clean.
1. Clean your face, pat dry, and separate your strips.
2. Take out Strip 1, unfold, and place it on your nose for 10 minutes, the remove and tissue any any excess serum.
3. Take out Strip 2, and moisten your nose with a few drops of water. Remove the clear film from Strip 2 and place it on your nose with the shiny black side on the skin.
4. Leave on for 15 minutes, remove it in one single motion and marvel at the pore-clogging gunk on the pore strip.
5. Finish with Strip 3, peeling away the protective layers to place mask layer 'B' on your nose. Leave for 10 minutes and remove, patting in any excess serum until absorbed.

Якутская трагедия (Монастырёвский бунт, Монастырёвка или «Монастырёвская трагедия») — подавление организованного вооружённого протеста политических ссыльных в Якутске 22 марта 1889 года. Крупное событие в истории сибирской политической ссылки.

Хроника событий
К весне 1889 года в Якутске скопилось более 30 политических ссыльных, значительная часть из них подлежала отправке в северные округа. Вице-губернатор Осташкин сделал в отношении ссыльных ряд незаконных распоряжений.

22 марта 33 ссыльных (по другим данным — 34: 29 евреев и 5 русских) собрались в доме якута Монастырёва (ныне на территории музея истории и культуры народов Севера), протестуя против ужесточения правил пересылки в Вилюйский, Верхоянский и Колымский округа и произвола властей. Протест был жестоко подавлен вооруженной силой. В ходе столкновения с правительственными войсками погибли шестеро ссыльных, десять было ранено, со стороны нападающих трое ранены и один умер от ран.

В автобиографической книге советской писательницы А. Я. Бруштейн «Дорога уходит в даль…» события Якутской трагедии изложены от лица одного из ссыльных. Он рассказывает о том, что по прибытии в Якутск им не было предоставлено время на покупку необходимой провизии и тёплой одежды для продолжения пути далее в Среднеколымск, а путь туда пролегал по ненаселённой территории, поэтому необходимо было везти с собой полушубки, пимы, бельё, хлеб, мясо и прочий провиант. Когда ссыльные написали заявление губернатору с просьбой отсрочить отправку, им было велено собраться на следующий день у кого-нибудь одного и ждать ответа. На следующий день, когда все собрались, им было велено выйти во двор и ждать. Тут налетел вооруженный отряд под командованием двух офицеров и начал стрельбу. У некоторых из ссыльных оказалось оружие, и они оказали сопротивление, но безуспешно. По окончании боя выживших отправили в тюрьму (до этого ссыльные в Якутске жили на вольных квартирах), а раненных в тюремную больницу. Из Петербурга пришел приказ судить за «бунт» со всей строгостью — военным судом.

Выжившие участники бунта предстали перед Якутским военным судом. Троих — А. Л. Гаусмана, Н. Л. Зотова, Л. М. Коган-Бернштейна — приговорили к смертной казни через повешение, четверых — к бессрочной каторге, ещё 20 человек — к различным срокам каторги. Смертные приговоры были приведены в исполнение в 4 часа утра 7 августа 1889 года вне ограды Якутской тюрьмы. Тяжелораненый Л. М. Коган-Бернштейн был повешен прямо с постели, к которой был прикован.

Еврейская община похоронила евреев-революционеров (С. Я. Гуревич, Я. Ноткина, Г. Шура, С. Пика, А. Л. Гаусмана и Л. М. Коган-Бернштейна) в братской могиле на Еврейском кладбище. На могиле А. Л. Гаусмана был установлен памятник, но надписи на нём были уничтожены в марте 1890 года по приказу полиции. Остальные были похоронены на старом городском Никольском кладбище у Градо-Якутского Николаевского собора. В 2019 году братская могила на Еврейском кладбище получила статус объекта культурного наследия регионального значения.

Реакция общественности
События вызвали резкую реакцию либеральной российской и мировой общественности. В начале 1890 года нью-йоркские газеты Volkzeitung, Gerald, The Banner опубликовали обличительные статьи. Английская Times под заголовком «Якутская бойня» разместила письма Бориса Геймана.

Российское правительство было вынуждено удовлетворить требования бунтовщиков и восстановить прежние правила отправки ссыльных.
