Canon 5DS R Conclusion
Camera Reviews / Canon Cameras / Canon EOS i Review
5DS R Overview

The Canon 5DS R: a specialty EOS camera
Offering a whopping 50 megapixels in resolution, the Canon 5DS R (and its nearly-identical sibling) is one unique Canon DSLR. While other EOS cameras can generally be considered more or less suitable for a wide variety of subjects, with manageable image resolutions, file sizes as well as expansive ISO ranges, the 5DS R, on the other hand, introduces a streak of specialty into the EOS family by going the opposite route.
The camera's huge resolution, along with this "R" version's canceled-out optical low-pass filter, makes it particularly well-suited for high-end portraiture work, landscape and other editorial photography tasks which demand extraordinary image detail -- and are typically shot at lower ISO sensitivities. The 5DS R feels, operates and handles much like any other EOS camera, and it can certainly handle general-use photography despite its niche-market persona. However, given its ultra-high resolution sensor, in a way, the camera blurs the line between a full-frame DSLR and a medium format camera. In a sense, the 5DS R is the "medium-format" camera for those Canon shooters who've invested heavily in Canon lenses and want that familiar, classic Canon EOS operability and size.
Straightforward design offers easy operation and familiarity
There's not much to say about the design and ergonomics of the 5DS R that hasn't already been said about the earlier 5D Mark III, since they are practically identical in design, controls, button layout and other physical exterior features. The 5DS R is comfortable and altogether familiar territory for seasoned Canon shooters. As a camera geared toward professional photographers, ease of use and familiarity is an important factor; in a professional environment, if you upgrade cameras to the 5DS R, there's little to no learning curve to get up and running.
50-megapixel sensor captures stunning, impressive detail
Not surprisingly, the big story for the Canon 5DS R is image quality, and specifically image quality at low ISOs. This camera absolutely thrives at base ISO. Images are packed with detail; letting the avid pixel-peeper grin in delight as he or she zooms-in to check the crispness of that eyelash, lock of hair, or scales on a lizard, for example.

100% Crop
Like other Canon DSLRs we've tested, the 5DS R's hue accuracy and color handling is excellent when using manual white balance. Skin tones appear natural and pleasing, and color saturation is even-handed and not overdone. Despite the full-frame sensor, however, the dynamic range of the 5DS R still lags behind competing high-resolution models from Nikon and Sony, though we did find a slight improvement compared to the 5D Mark III.
The 5DS R also introduces a new "Fine Detail" Picture Style, which offers more fine-grained control of in-camera image sharpening in a similar vain to that of Adobe's Unsharp Mask tool. Using this preset, the 5DS R's JPEG images really pop with much more sharpness and detail compared to the Standard Picture Profile and with minimal sharpening artifacts. Though RAW capture may be the preferred workflow for many prospective 5DS R owners, for JPEG workflows, the new Fine Detail Picture Style is a fantastic addition.
Despite limited high ISOs, 5DS R proves quite capable
While the Canon 5DS R really shines at low ISOs and despite its full-frame sized sensor, the camera is not as versatile for high ISO performance as the 5D Mark III. In fact, according to Canon, the 5DS R shares similar high ISO and noise performance to the 7D Mark II, which has an APS-C sensor -- the 50.6MP sensor shares a similar pixel-pitch to the 7D Mark II's 20.2MP chip.
16-35mm f/4L IS: 16mm, f/4, 1/40s, ISO 6400, +0.3EV
Compared to other full-frame cameras, such as the 5D Mark III, this is one of the 5DS R's major limiting factors in terms of general-use versatility. Limited to an expanded ISO of just 12,800, while the "Mark III" tops out at ISO 102,400, the Canon 5DS R is not designed for handheld low-light performance. That being said, the 5DS R showed rather decent performance at higher ISOs, despite the resolution. It wouldn't be our first choice to use for a low-light indoor shoot or at a nighttime sporting event, but the 5DS R can handle higher ISO situations rather well, all things considered.
Big resolution means big responsibility on shooting technique
Though the 5DS R handles just like a 5D Mark III, the 5DS R warrants a bit more caution and more focus on your technique to ensure crisp, sharp, properly focused photos due to the higher-resolution sensor. There's so much resolution that you can really tell even if you miss focus ever so slightly when viewing images at 100% magnification, so nailing correct focus is key.
The increased resolution also often necessitates a faster shutter speed than the usual "1/focal length" rule of thumb. The pixels on the sensor are so tiny that a much smaller amount of movement poses a larger risk for per-pixel blurring than on other full-frame cameras with larger pixels.
Lastly, this "R" version of the Canon 5DS-series lacks an optical low-pass filter (or rather has a canceled-out low-pass filter). You gain an increase in very fine detail, but run the risk of moiré interference patterns and other aliasing artifacts. For the majority of the shooting we did with the 5DS R, both inside the lab and out, moiré wasn't much of an issue, though we did come across it every once in a while on certain subjects, so bare this in mind. If you shoot a lot of architecture or fashion, for instance, the regular 5DS might be the way to go to help avoid dreaded moiré.

Not the speediest camera around, but far from sluggish
Given its high resolution, it's not surprising to find the burst rate isn't as fast as other sports-oriented DSLRs. That being said, we found the burst rate to match up quite closely to Canon's claimed 5fps spec, which isn't all that bad considering the camera's resolution. Buffer depths and clearing times were also very respectable given the 50MP sensor.
As for autofocus performance, the 5DS R shares the same 61-point AF array as the 5D Mark III and 1D X but adds in the 7D Mark II's enhanced iTR AF (aka "Intelligent Tracking & Recognition AF") for improved subject tracking. In our lab tests, the AF performance clocked-in at speeds more in-line with consumer-level DSLRs, with full AF lag single point (center) AF measuring similar to that of the 7D Mark II, for example. In real-world scenarios, though, we found the AF to be more than capable with tried-and-true DSLR autofocus performance, plus the vast array of AF points makes composing shots very easy, putting focus right where you need it.
Limited video features, no 60fps, but fun built-in timelapse mode
Like high ISOs, video is not one of the 5DS R's hallmark features. Canon designed this camera with still photography in mind. Nevertheless, the 5DS R captures very good 1080/30p video, and despite the lack of an optical low-pass filter, moiré and aliasing artifacts did not appear during our testing -- though rolling shutter effects were quite apparent.
The lack of 60p video is glaring in this day and age, especially for such a high-end camera and one using Canon's latest DIGIC 6 image processor. For more advanced videographers, the lack of a headphone jack, Dual Pixel CMOS AF (or any on-sensor phase detect), and clean HDMI output may very well be deal-breakers to using the 5DS R as a video camera.

Download Original (109.6MB MOV)
The one trick up its sleeve for video is a new in-camera timelapse movie mode. Similar to the built-in intervalometer, the setup is quick and easy to pick the specific interval and number of shots to record. However, despite the camera capturing 50MP stills, the resulting timelapse video is only in 1080p, which is disappointing. Furthermore, the camera doesn't keep any of the individual still frames, so you can't go back to create a higher-resolution timelapse if you wanted to -- you'll need to manually create a timelapse using the intervalometer instead.
Summary: The Canon alternative to medium format
All said and done, despite its limited high ISO sensitivities, its limited video capabilities, and increased technical skill involved with getting sharp, properly focused images, the Canon 5DS R is an all-around impressive camera. The 5DS R is Canon's highest-resolution EOS body to date, and it can capture some seriously impressive, incredibly detailed, ultra sharp photographs.
Its high price point and aforementioned limited features put the 5DS R squarely into a niche category. If you want a more all-around, general use full-frame Canon DSLR with a more versatile ISO range and more video capabilities, the 5D Mark III is the better bet. However, for portrait, editorial, landscape or nature photographers looking for extreme image detail in a tried-and-true Canon DSLR package -- and don't want or need the increase in bulk and expense of a digital medium format system -- the Canon 5DS R will fit the bill. All told, the Canon 5DS R gets the nod as a Dave's Pick in our book.

One of our companies recently started offering its services on a popular job posting site – freelancer.com. Unfortunately, the most recent experience we had with their portal calls for some extra precautions down the road.
It was a simple copy job, like many others out there. The employer (i.e. the party posting the offer) was verified on freelancer.com and so was his payment method. We agreed on the rate and begun working on the assignment.
After a day's worth of material was ready, it was presented to the other party for approval. In addition, an invoice was raised and the first payment requested.
The project is no more.
Similarly, the employer's account was gone. At that point, being almost sure we got duped, I decided to ask freelancer.com for help. Surely after all those hefty fees, ID, phone, email, IP and DNA verifications they will at least feel compelled to help, right?
Whoa, so it was actually freelancer.com who decided to kick the other party out. Knowing that they had open projects and invoices. Not very nice.
Apparently, freelancer's compassion is very much limited, mostly to themselves. What struck me is a suggestion for an outside arrangement, something heavily frowned upon by freelancer.com.
There goes freelancer's payment verification. It's worth as much as nothing.
There you have it, boys and girls. Straight from the horse's mouth.
It seems that the only payments they care about are their certification and monthly fees. For larger scale projects, I seriously recommend an outside escrow, as freelancer.com provides no protection whatsoever, despite their very suggestive "payment method verified" icons.

«Dollhouse» es el primer sencillo de la cantante estadounidense Melanie Martinez. La canción se presentó en el primer EP de Martinez, Dollhouse (2014), donde se lanzó como el primer sencillo del EP el 9 de febrero de 2014. «Dollhouse» apareció luego en el álbum de estudio de Martinez, Cry Baby en 2015. En cuanto a las letras, «Dollhouse» es sobre una familia disfuncional que, según Martinez, se está "escondiendo como una fachada plástica perfecta". Martínez también ha declarado que «Dollhouse» es una metáfora de cómo la gente ve a las celebridades y sus vidas públicas aparentemente perfectas. «Dollhouse» es también la segunda canción de Cry Baby, y esta canción también es la primera canción oficial que escribió Melanie Martinez.

La canción apareció en un avance de la serie de Freeform Pretty Little Liars.

Antecedentes y composición
«Dollhouse» se reveló como una precuela a «Sippy Cup», cuando esta última fue lanzada como sencillo.

Líricamente, de acuerdo con Martínez, la canción habla sobre una familia disfuncional que se "esconde siendo una fachada perfecta", mientras que también sirve como doble sentido "para la forma en que las personas ven a las celebridades" y sus vidas públicas aparentemente perfectas.

Video musical

El video musical de la canción fue dirigido por Nathan Scialom & Tom McNamara y subido al canal de YouTube de Martínez el 9 de febrero de 2014. El video comienza con una Niña jugando con sus muñecas en una casa de muñecas. Una muñeca visible es una que tiene maquillaje que se parece a Martínez, quien interpreta al personaje Cry Baby en el video. La niña sale de la casa de muñecas y la cámara da un primer plano cuando comienza la canción. Luego se acerca a Cry Baby, que está dentro de la casa de muñecas. Ella arroja luz sobre su disfuncional familia, explicando que su padre está engañando a su madre, mientras que su hermano está fumando marihuana, mientras la cámara analiza a su madre, que está desmayada en el sofá con una botella de vino.

El video luego muestra a la familia vistiéndose bien para que se vean perfectos en público y pongan la fachada de ser una familia perfecta. Después de esto, la cámara muestra a la familia sentada en el sofá, mirando televisión. Cry Baby describe que, para el mundo exterior, si bien su madre puede parecer perfecta, está muy lejos de eso, ya que cuando su esposo la engaña con otra mujer, ella se quita las penas. Cry Baby se da cuenta de que la niña vuelve a subir y advierte a las otras muñecas que regresen a los lugares donde estaban antes. Lo hacen, y cuando la niña se acerca, Cry Baby se pone de pie y le dice a la niña que su familia no es tan perfecta como la que cuentan, y convierte a la niña en una muñeca. El resto de la familia comienza a acorralar a la niña, y cuando se acercan a ella, la niña vuelve a convertirse en un humano. Ella huye, y la pared de la casa de muñecas se cierra.

There are plenty of tutorials around on how to enable DNSSEC on a domain name, every once in awhile you may find yourself in a situation where you want to turn it off.
When that happens it is often misunderstood, and people think that by simply removing the keys from their zone and reloading it as a clear, unsigned zone, they've disabled DNSSEC.
The problem then encountered is that DNSSEC aware resolvers are still sending queries for your zone expecting a DNSSEC signed response and then fail validation when they don't get one, why?
Because it's the presence of a domain's DS record in the parent that signals the availability of DNSSEC signed responses to resolvers. If you want to turn off DNSSEC, you need to remove that DS record from the parent zone.
In most cases, this is your domain's Top Level Domain (TLD), such as .COM/.NET/.CA or one of the new TLDs like .WTF.
Typically, you add, modify or remove DS records from your domains' parent zone via your domain's Registrar.

See Inside the Workshop: Dialogue 101 from Emily Lackey's Dialogue Intensive
The following is an initial handout on the basics of dialogue structure created by Assistant Director Emily Lackey for her Dialogue Intensive workshop being held on April 20th. Join her in the Writers in Progress studio from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to learn more about writing effective dialogue, including tips of how to create distinct characters through dialogue, how to determine when dialogue is really necessary, and how to infuse your dialogue with tension and subtext. Register today!
Dialogue 101
What is dialogue?
Dialogue is not just about the words on the page. Dialogue signals the story moving in 'real time.' While narrative often slips into the past or future, dialogue signals that we are moving through the scene as the characters are. Because of this, dialogue can be both a relief to the reader and an important opportunity for revelation.
What does "good" dialogue do right?
Good dialogue develops naturally. It is a distilled down to the essentials, not transcribed word for word, and includes nonverbal information, like the way the characters' bodies are moving and gesturing. Dialogue should also reveal characters—their secrets, mannerism, emotions, and motivations—and move the plot forward by creating tension, putting the characters in a specific time, and moving them forward in the scene. Good dialogue includes interruptions, but is not bogged down by them, and, most importantly, is something that you can hear. When push comes to shove, read your dialogue out loud. Does it sound natural? Does it sound like something someone would say?
What does "bad" dialogue do wrong?
Ineffective dialogue tends to do too much. Often times "bad" dialogue is a result of the writer worrying too much that the reader will misread the dialogue. Writers who insert emphasis with italics or micromanage the reading experience to make sure the reader is really getting it tend to lose the reader in the process. Trust the reader. When dialogue is not distilled down into essential speech, when it is too verbose or verbatim, or when there are too many meaningless stutters and starts, it feels unskilled, mainly because it reveals a writer who does not trust in their own ability to reach the reader.
Dialogue Writing Basics:
When it comes to writing dialogue, each new line of dialogue from a new character should start on a new line. Also, all punctuation should go inside the end quotation mark, and a comma should be used instead of a period before a dialogue tag.
Example (from This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff):
After a week or so I announced at dinner that I had decided not to go to Paris.
"The hell you aren't," Dwight said. "You're going."
"He gets to choose," Pearl said, on my side for once. "Doesn't he, Rosemary?"
My mother nodded. "That was the deal."
What about dialogue tags?
Dialogue tags should be used to convey who is speaking. Rarely should they convey emotion, movement, or the way a line of dialogue is delivered.
Example of good dialogue tags (from Life After Life by Kate Atkinson):
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Glover asked as she came back inside. Ursula jumped, Mrs. Glover could move as quietly as a cat.
"Nothing," Ursula said. "Looking to see if Bridget was coming yet."
"Heavens," Mrs. Glover said, "she'll be back on the last train, not for hours yet. Now shift yourself, it's long past your bedroom."
Example of overdone dialogue tags (from Tomcat in Love by Tim O'Brien):
"Irrelevant," I said testily. "I have just handed you a surefire conviction. Take advantage of it."
"Yes, sir," the man said, "but if we could interview you—"
"Certainly not," I snapped. "I am not a stool pigeon.
Dialogue tags are not necessary for every line of dialogue, especially if there is a long stretch of dialogue between characters. Once the characters in the conversation have been established, it is okay to leave dialogue tags off. Coming back every three to four lines of dialogue with a tag will help to ground the reader a bit, but always read through the dialogue carefully to see where they're necessary. Imagine your reader reading the scene for the first time to see if any dropped tags cause confusion.
Types of dialogue tags: There are three different types of dialogue tags, and creating scenes with a variety of these can help to make your dialogue seem less predictable and list-like.
Trailing tag: The dialogue tag comes after the dialogue.
example: "This time, don't be late to dinner," he said.
Leading tag: The dialogue tag comes before the dialogue.
example: He said, "This time, don't be late to dinner."
Inverted tag: The dialogue tag comes in the middle of the dialogue.
example: "This time," he said, "don't be late to dinner."
Pro tip: Use inverted dialogue tags to create time and space in a scene instead of unnecessary physical descriptions. For example:
Instead of: "Don't you want a glass of water?" She paused. "I could get you one from the fridge."
Try: "Don't you want a glass of water?" she asked. "I could get you one from the fridge."
Pro tip: You can also use inverted tags to help break up longer stretches of dialogue. This will make it feel less like a monologue and also give the reader a bit of a break.
What is direct dialogue vs. indirect dialogue?
Direct dialogue is dialogue that is spoken by the character.
example: "I'll come back tomorrow," she said.
Indirect dialogue is speech that is summarized or paraphrased by another character.
example: She promised she would come back tomorrow, or, She promised me she would come back tomorrow.
Pro tip: if you feel as though your scene is too dialogue-heavy, switching to indirect dialogue is a simple way to avoid making your dialogue appear too verbatim. It can also help to speed up a scene if too much information is being conveyed via dialogue.
What about dialect?
Dialect is a touchy subject these days, so I'll leave it up to the experts to explain why dialect can be problematic:
"The ambition to represent authentic kinds of speech on the page is a fascinating artistic project, but can lead to banality, unintelligibility, and even, arguably, a degree of condescension if taken too far, leading to stereotypical representations of character based simply on whether or not they drop their h's. The character becomes defined by their 'non-standard' voice (of course, it needs to be emphasized that the very notion of a 'standard' language can be contentious), rather than by their deeper ipseity (or, if you like, 'true self'). Another important, and complex, issue arising from this might be phrased as follows: there is a distancing effect which is created by the use of non-standard, deviant forms of language. By their very nature, these deviant forms imply a norm, a binary opposite, which is standard English, and/or the author's own standard language. This implication of difference can also (too often) imply superiority, even chauvinism. Furthermore, it could be argued that highly deviant forms of spelling detract from the reader's experience by drawing undue attention to themselves."
-Jeremy Scott, Creating Writing and Stylistics
There are certainly ways that you can incorporate different rhythms, cadences, and inflections into dialogue and narrative voice, but it's something that should be done with a great degree of caution and awareness. If you would like more information on how to do this, I would recommend Jeremy Scott's book quoted above.
What about everything else?
These are only the basics, so there is a lot here that is still not covered, but a few last minute points:
Em dashes should be used inside the end quotation mark to signal the speaker being interrupted.
Ellipses should be used inside the end quotation mark to signal the speaker trailing off.
Pro tip: Use interruptions and trailing off sparingly. These two things, along with italics, are the biggest indications of a micromanaging writer

MaineCare and Medicare patients may continue to utilize the services of Millinocket Regional and both programs are focused on the goals of the national "Triple Aim": improved patient outcomes, improved patient experience, and reduced health care costs.


Gun-jumping has been in the spotlight this year both at the European level and in the UK. At the EU level, first there was DG Competition's record fining of Altice of € 124.5m (here) and then the Court of Justice of the EU ("CJEU") ruled on the scope of the EU law standstill obligation in its EY/KPMG Denmark preliminary ruling (here). Now the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") has fined Electro Rent Corporation ("Electro Rent") £100,000 for breaching the UK standstill obligation. Although there are particular features of this example which mean that the scenario is far from the norm, it does provide a reminder that standstill obligations can arise even under the UK's voluntary regime and sends a warning of the additional complexity that may arise post-Brexit.
In January 2017, Electro Rent acquired Microlease Inc. and Test Equipment Asset Management Limited. As the UK merger regime is voluntary, the parties were not obliged to notify, however, the CMA exercised its powers to investigate of its own accord. This led the CMA to issue an interim order on 7 November 2017 ("Order") under which the parties were obliged to continue to operate their enterprises separately and required Electro Rent to seek the CMA's consent before doing anything which might impede the taking of any action by the CMA. A Monitoring Trustee was appointed to monitor compliance with the Order.
In February 2018, the CMA concluded that the merger resulted in a substantial lessening of competition. In March, several remedies were discussed, including the transfer of Electro Rent's lease over its registered place of business in the UK (the "Lease"), a provision which appeared both in the 13 March remedies paper and the 5 April remedies supplementary working paper. On 15 March, Electro Rent informed the Monitoring Trustee that it intended to terminate the Lease the same day and received oral confirmation from the Monitoring Trustee that Electro Rent could do so. Neither the Monitoring Trustee nor Electro Rent informed or requested permission from the CMA.
On 13 April 2018, the CMA became aware of the Lease termination and raised concerns with the Monitoring Trustee. Having made those inquiries, the CMA then wrote to Electro Rent advising that it considered that terminating without the CMA's prior consent was a breach of the Order. In responding, Electro Rent mentioned new heads of terms which had been agreed regarding the UK premises but which had also not been notified in advance to or authorised by the CMA.
On 2 May 2018, the CMA wrote to Electro Rent directing them to refrain from concluding any further agreements regarding the Lease without the CMA's prior consent. On 10 May, the CMA consented to the new Lease.
On 11 June 2018, the CMA issued a notice of penalty of £100,000 for Electro Rent's breach of the Order by terminating the Lease. In its defence to the administrative proceedings, Electro Rent effectively pointed to its consultation with the Monitoring Trustee as affording it a defence to the charge. The CMA was unimpressed. It emphasised that Electro Rent's obligation was to obtain consent from the CMA and that the Monitoring Trustee has no delegated authority – express or implied – to consent to a proposed action that is in breach of the Order. Moreover, Electro Rent had previously sought the CMA's consent to other proposed actions before engaging in activities which were potentially in breach of the Order and had not sought to rely on any potential notification by the Monitoring Trustee. Accordingly, Electro Rent had no reasonable excuse for failing to comply.
The CMA concluded that the level of the penalty was appropriate because the failure in this case was significant and had a potentially adverse effect on the merger investigation. The CMA emphasised that the purpose of an Order of the kind in place in this case is to preserve businesses under investigation so that the CMA has the full range of remedy options open to it if required.
Although informing the Monitoring Trustee did not obviate Electro Rent's need to inform the CMA, the CMA did indicate that the level of penalty that would have been imposed if Electro Rent had not even informed the Monitoring Trustee would have been "very significantly" higher.
There are several reasons why this decision is noteworthy. First, it serves as a reminder that standstill obligations can arise even under the UK's voluntary regime. Second, it illustrates that, like DG Competition, the CMA takes standstill obligations extremely seriously. This is the first time a company has been sanctioned for breaching a UK standstill obligation and the CMA was at pains to emphasise its intention that the fine in this case should have a strong deterrent effect.
Further, the decision clarifies that despite the Monitoring Trustee's role is being to ensure compliance with the Order, he has no authority to provide consent on behalf of the CMA and that it is the parties' responsibility to ensure that they obtain consent directly from the CMA.
Finally, there was no reference to a "change of control" threshold for gun-jumping sanctions, which was the centre piece of the CJEU's recent EY/KPMG preliminary ruling reasoning – and it would certainly appear that the conduct in this case fell below that threshold. The very different nature of this case may well explain the absence of any consideration of any "change of control threshold". However, the case does suggest that, in a post-Brexit world, if a CMA interim order is in place, parties may be required to obtain prior CMA consent in respect of conduct that would not cross the EU "change of control" threshold, adding a further layer of complexity to transactions in the future.
The Covington Competition Blog will continue monitoring this space to update you on any developments affecting the enforcement of gun-jumping rules throughout Europe.

Q: Data not being passed to variable in for-loop I have this following code
with open('data.csv') as csvfile:
    data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ')
    print(data)
    row_count = row_count = sum(1 for lines in data)
    print(row_count)
    for row in data:
        print(row)

It prints:
<_csv.reader object at 0x00000295CB6933C8>
505

So it prints data as an object and prints the row_count as 505. Just does not seem to print row in the for-loop. I am not sure why there is nothing being passed to the variable row?
This is particularly frustrating because if i get rid of row_count it works! Why?

A: data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ')
print(data)
row_count = row_count = sum(1 for lines in data)

You just read the entire file; you've exhausted the input.  There is nothing left for your second for to find.  You have to reset the reader.  The most obvious way is to close the file and reopen.  Less obvious ... and less flexible ... is to reset the file pointer to the beginning, with
csvfile.seek(0)

This doesn't work for all file subtypes, but does work for CSV.
Even better, simply count the lines as you print them:
with open('data.csv') as csvfile:
    data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ')
row_count = 0
for row in data:
    print(row)
    row_count += 1

print(row_count)

A: You consumed the rows from data already with your set comprehension:
with open('data.csv') as csvfile:
    data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ')
    print(data)
    row_count = row_count = sum(1 for lines in data) # This consumes all of the rows
    print(row_count)
    for row in data: # no more rows at this point.
        print(row) # doesn't run because there are no more rows left

You'll have to save all of the rows in memory or create a second CSV reader object if you want to print the count before printing each row.

A: It could be the best solution for you to make that data into a list and itterate through it to save yourself all the troubles if you have some memory to spend
with open('your_csv.csv','r') as f_:
   reader=csv.reader(f_)
   new_list=list(reader)
for row in new_list:
   print(row) #or whatever else you want to do afterwards

Q: Tensor product of coherent sheaf with the stalk of structure sheaf If $A$ is a commutative ring, $M\in A\text{-mod}$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ is a prime ideal of $A$ then it is an easy fact from commutative algebra that $M\otimes_{A}A_{\mathfrak{p}}\cong M_{\mathfrak{p}}$.
Let $X$ be a scheme and $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf on $X$. For $U$ open in $X$ and $x\in U$, is it true that
$$\Gamma(U,\mathcal{F})\otimes_{\Gamma(U,\mathcal{O}_X)}\mathcal{O}_{X,x}\cong\mathcal{F}_{x}?$$

A: Rough sketch. Is it true for affine $X$ ? Yes, results from what you recalled. Now for a general $X$, take an open affine neighbourhood of $x$ in $X$. How can you rewrite the two sides of the desired isomorphism relation ?
Proof. To prove $\Gamma(U,\mathcal{F})\otimes_{\Gamma(U,\mathcal{O}_X)}\mathcal{O}_{X,x}\cong\mathcal{F}_{x}$ for any open $U$ open in $X$, as the question is (eminently !) local on $X$, if suffices to prove $\Gamma(U,\mathcal{F}|_U)\otimes_{\Gamma(U,\mathcal{O}_X|_U)}({{\mathcal{O}_X|}_U})_x \cong \mathcal{F}_{x}$. This shows that one can assume that $U = X$, so that we have to show $\Gamma(X,\mathcal{F})\otimes_{\Gamma(X,\mathcal{O}_X)}\mathcal{O}_{X,x}\cong\mathcal{F}_{x}$. In light of the previous argument, that is, by an analogue argument, by taking an open affine neighbourhood $U = \textrm{Spec}(A)$ of $x$ in $X$ and restricting, on can assume that $X =\textrm{Spec}(A)$ is affine, in which case the assertion results from $M\otimes_{A}A_{\mathfrak{p}}\cong M_{\mathfrak{p}}$ with $M = \Gamma(X,\mathcal{F})$.
Bonus question : where did I use the coherence of $\mathcal{F}$ as $\mathcal{O}_X$-module ? ;-)
Hint : what is the essential image of the functor $M\mapsto \widetilde{M}$ from $\mathfrak{Mod}_{/A}$ to $\mathfrak{mod}_{/ \mathcal{O}_X}$ ?


Transforming Organizations with Teamwork | Hone Consulting | Victoria, B.C.
How individuals can become highly effective team members and how we can all transform our organizations through individuals becoming highly effective team players.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by New York Times best selling author Patrick Lencioni, is the foundation of The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team. This is a fable about a dysfunctional leadership team, which has been a best seller for over 15 years. If you're struggling with teamwork right now, just knowing that this book has been a best seller for all these years, is a great indication that you're not alone.
Teamwork is often an untapped and under leveraged resource. When organizations focus on getting people to work together on productive and cohesive teams, they will accomplish great things. In many cases, teamwork can be and is an organizations ultimate competitive advantage.
Teamwork is one of those words thrown around, and we often don't take the time to stop and think about what it really means. Teamwork may be a simple concept, but that doesn't mean it's easy to do. It's hard to do. Teamwork can mean something different to many individuals and organizations. To this day, many teams and organizations struggle with the concept of teamwork.
When organizations can develop peoples capabilities to contribute to cohesive teams that becomes a competitive advantage, because cohesive teamwork is both rare and not easily repeatable.
– Avoid revisiting topics because of lack of buy-in.
– Tap into skills and opinions of all team members.
– Avoid wasting time and energy on politics and conflict.
– Are more fun to be on.
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is for any team – no matter where the team falls on the 'functioning spectrum' – whether the team is highly dysfunctional with no clear way through or highly functional wanting to maintain and elevate further where possible.
Sometimes dysfunction feels like an elephant in the room. We know that the team is not functioning properly, but no one is addressing it, no one may no how to address it, and people may even be trying to 'sweep it under the rug'. Today, there are potentially countless elephants roaming around offices and amongst teams around the world.
To go from dysfunctional to functional, or functional to even higher functioning, wherever you might fall on the functioning spectrum, it takes time and hard work, and for some teams, it takes an intervention. It takes help.
The whole idea of a team, although very simple in theory, is actually really messy in practice. Think about all of the various personalities and differences of opinion and egos that have to be balanced for a team to work at its peak. One way to look at this messiness is as a burden and/or as a headache, which can be perfectly normal.
But another way is actually as an opening – because if you can get one, five, ten, twenty teams in the organization past the drama, politics and the wasted energy, that's a tremendous competitive advantage.
Teamwork has a real effect on people lives – at work and at home. For your organization to be more effective, your people need to get REAL with themselves and REAL with each other.
The Five Behaviors is a framework to get to a competitive advantage.
The process doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, keeping it simple is critical. The reason why The Five Behaviors is so successful is because it's sticky – meaning it's easy to use and easy to remember.
– The principles of behaviors that lead to effective teamwork laid out in Pat Lencioni's bestselling book—The Five Dysfunctions of a Team.
– Personality assessment, called Everything DiSC® or All Types™, that helps you better understand yourself and how you relate to others.
Together, you get The Five Behaviors. It's an assessment based learning program. It's proven to help companies get business results.
How is The Five Behaviors Different?
At Wiley, product testing is taken very seriously. Products, like The Five Behaviors, are taken through vigorous beta testing.
The Five Behaviors beta testing included three rounds of beta tests, using 300+ teams, 200 organizations, all over 18 months!
If you're wondering if this is a program you can count on, more than 3,000 participants would say 'yes', which is 90% of the beta participants.
– DiSC OR All Types – what is their behavioural style.
– Questions about the specific team.
Once the online assessment is completed, everyone on the team will get their individual and team results.
To assess team cohesion, you not only need to ask questions, but you need to ask the right questions, and The Five Behaviors gives you the right questions to ask that will lead to team discussions and action plans to improve performance.
The team culture results will provide insights on the dynamics of the group that will set the team up for success to establish team norms and a common language for future engagements with one another as a team.
As we know, behaviours only change when we take action. The Five Behaviors fosters discussion on what is going on, the current state, and helps establish plans for the future desired state. The best action planning starts with asking the right questions, facilitating dialogue around the right questions and then establishing action plans for progress.
An Overview of The Five Behaviours: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results.
Commitment: When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions. Committing to decisions can be transformational to teams and organizations. To be able to commit, and to avoid "unproductive discussions about an idea or a project when you leave without a clue of what the next steps are", we need clarity and buy-in which are part of Commitment in The Five Behaviors.
Accountability: When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable. The emphasis is peer-to-peer accountability, which involves giving and receiving feedback. When teams engage in The Five Behaviors, they have the opportunity to set up norms and discuss what acceptable and unacceptable feedback looks like, and provide and give permission for feedback amongst the team.
– Are bothered by losses to competitors.
– Take personal responsibility to fix problems.
– Point out each other's contributions.
– Are willing to sacrifice for the team.
How Can You Implement The Five Behaviors with Your Team?
How To Get Started Using the Five Behaviors?
– We have programs that can certify you or someone within your organization to facilitate the program.
– You can have Hone Consulting accredited facilitators facilitate the program for your team and organization.
Why Does The Five Behaviors Work?
– It gives the team a common language and process to talk about issues.
– Builds trust and courage on teams.
– Helps team members take and internalize ownership.
Please contact Hone Consulting any time, with any and all questions that you have.
We look forward to any future opportunities that we have to connect and to work together, and for us to be able to serve you and your organization with making your team(s) more cohesive, more extraordinary and developing teamwork as your competitive advantage.


Space. Quiet. Reverent. Purple and blue and black and flecks of — is that orange? white? or a trick of the eye? Rivers of colorless color, drips of paint that morph from waterfall to face to a flower stem to an open palm to God herself, murky, in the monolith.
I woke this morning very depressed, having stayed up too late last night after my show, scrolling the web, reading The New York Times, Twitter, anything to make sense of what felt like a country where one side just took their ball and stabbed the middle finger at the other. It is like being in a relationship with someone who plays games, you're always feeling like you're begging for clarity, there's a little bit of hope, and then complete abandonment. I am tired after a year of nothing but hate and aggression that ignore just old fashioned fair play. It's like a baseball game where the teams don't line up at the end to shake hands. Instead they insult and shame each other. Abandonment and shame. That's where we are at as a country.
And so, this morning, I drove to Houston to The Rothko Chapel. A few years ago I was on tour with Tim Easton and Megan Palmer and Tim took us here and I sat in front of one of the paintings and wept openly in silent prayer. I have been back every time I come through Houston. I have brought my friends Doug and Telisha Williams, Rod Picott, Emily Robinson, Matt Haeck, Megan many times. I bring people here like Tim Easton brought me. Every time I come, I weep. This morning, for the first time, I took a cushioned pillow on the floor, rather than sit on a bench. I came to find grace. I came to find a way through the noise. I chose the tall painting at the back, one I had not developed a prior relationship with on other visits. It was one I was NOT drawn to. I just chose it as the underdog. The other ones I have stared through and know like old friends. This one felt like a B list pick. So today I chose her. And sat in front of her, restless after a few moments — "this one isn't working for me, I knew it, I should move" — and yet, I stayed with her. Sat cross legged. Breathed through my mouth. Kept my eyes softly open and my gaze on the purple until my vision blurred into the painting and the painting became the sea and the wind and a hand and the virgin mother mary and jesus and my dog long gone and my grandmother's rose-scented skin and a river and the tears started to pour out of my eyes over my cheek and I closed my eyes and repeated to myself "I am not of this body; I am not even of this mind" over and over until the words blurred like the painting and I was just still. For a little less than an hour. When I finally opened my eyes, what I saw in the painting was a tall leveled tower, like Babel, leaning, windows open and empty and I thought, ha! that's where we are at, in the Tower of Babel, all of us shouting different languages so that nobody is talking TO anyone, just throwing noise into the air stuffed with anger and confusion and riotous discontent. And I looked at that tower and I felt sorry for it and then I just saw it as sick and full of sick people and I saw myself as a sick person inside it and then I loved it and a calming peace came over my heart and I knew it was time to get outside in the sun. I thanked whatever God-Of-The-Day had shown up, as mine morphs and shape-shifts, and stood up. My foot was numb so I had to twirl the tingle out in order to put weight on it. Reflexively, my hand went over the top of my now-hard belly, remembering that I have a son growing inside me, and I gave a little prayer for him, too, that he is able to be born into a world not so tangled by words and that I learn not add to the noise so that he can know grace.
Love this. Thank you Amy. I went to a memorial this week for a friend. These words offered consolation for our grief, and helped me stare into the purple void until I could feel love and peace above the sorrow.


To cure the winter weather blues, why not whip up some indulgent, homemade hot chocolate from ingredients you might already have in your pantry? Pour some into a giant mug, top with a big spoonful of marshmallow fluff, and curl up on the couch to watch a movie or read a book. Enjoy the beauty of snow from the indoors.
In a saucepan, combine the milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla and warm up over a low heat.
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in another bowl. Whisk the cocoa mixture into the warm milk mixture. Whisk the mixture frequently to prevent it from scorching.
Remove the mixture from the heat just after it has come to a boil.

Gov. Scott Announces All 23 Florida State Colleges with Baccalaureate Degrees Have Accepted $10k Degree Challenge
11 more state colleges have accepted affordability challenge
Governor Rick Scott today announced that 11 additional state colleges have accepted his challenge to work to develop quality bachelor's degree programs costing students no more than $10,000. To date, all of the 23 institutions in the Florida College System that offer baccalaureate degrees have announced their support to Governor Scott's higher education affordability challenge.
Representatives from Miami Dade College, Polk State College, Edison State College, Florida Gateway College. Florida State College of Jacksonville, Gulf Coast State College, Indian River State College, Lake-Sumter State College, Pensacola State College, St. Johns River State College and the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota have contacted the Florida Department of Education to accept the Governor's challenge and identify which programs would be offered for $10,000 or less. Many of the programs would be in high-demand areas.
Brevard Community College, Broward College, Chipola College, College of Central Florida, Daytona State College, Northwest Florida State College, Palm Beach State College, Santa Fe College, Seminole State College, St. Petersburg College, South Florida State College and Valencia College previously accepted the Governor's $10,000 degree challenge.
Governor Scott said, "Higher education is key to helping our students succeed in the 21st century economy and to grow jobs in Florida. It is important our students can get an affordable education, and our state colleges have stepped up to the challenge to find innovative ways to provide a quality education at a great value. Our goal should be that students do not have to go into debt in order to obtain a degree – and today's announcement of nearly all of our state colleges meeting this challenge puts us closer to achieving that goal for our students and families."
Governor Scott first issued his $10k degree challenge last November and made today's announcement at Miami Dade College's North Campus while touring the college and learning about the $10k degrees the institution plans to offer.
Commissioner of Education Tony Bennett said, "The Florida College System is a leader in ensuring access for higher education. The colleges in the system have always focused on affordability. This shows a continued commitment, especially in the workforce area where we offer bachelor degrees. I commend all of the colleges in the Florida College System for their commitment to access and affordability and look forward to working with our colleges."
Chancellor of the Florida College System Randy Hanna said "College affordability is a key ingredient in providing opportunities for Floridians to move into their careers. All of these programs will be designed for bachelor degrees in the area of workforce development. Many of our colleges are targeting high demand programs where there can be a significant impact in the local community. We look forward to working with the Governor and the Legislature and business and industry as we develop these programs."
Miami Dade College President Dr. Eduardo J. Padron said "Miami Dade College applauds Governor Scott for his leadership in advocating for greater access and affordability to higher education. We at MDC have long been committed to these goals and are pleased to unveil a 'Pathway to the Baccalaureate' initiative that will provide interested students the opportunity to complete one of the most affordable, high-quality workforce oriented bachelor's degrees in the nation."
St. Johns River State College President Joe Pickens, J.D. said, "St. Johns River State College is pleased to accept Governor Scott's '$10,000 Degree Challenge' and pledges to bring this opportunity to the residents of its district in the fall of 2014. We are committed to promoting the economic strengths of our communities by providing a variety of affordable, educational pathways that will lead to employment opportunities. This $10K degree program will complement the associate degree, bachelor's degree and certificate programs currently available to students at SJR State."
Gulf Coast State College President Dr. Jim Kerley said, "We focus on quality and value, and we believe our students receive both. We and the Board of Trustees are dedicated to offer the lowest tuition, currently the lowest in the state, and we are committed to move forward with a $10,000 bachelor's degree. We will continue to offer workforce bachelor degrees that lead to jobs and are adamant about the affordability of higher education so students can truly start here and go anywhere. That's our vision and our promise to the community."
State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota President Dr. Carol F. Probstfeld said, "SCF has accepted Gov. Scott's $10,000 baccalaureate degree challenge as a new opportunity to be even more inventive as we work with our partners to identify programs, existing and new, that offer the most immediate application to today's workforce needs. I have assigned a task force to work with all due speed on ideas and bring forward proposals for developing a feasible model that can be implemented in a reasonable and timely manner."
Polk State College President Dr. Eileen Holden said, "We are very proud of Polk State's tradition of access and affordability, and we are proud and grateful that the Governor is spotlighting examples of innovation at Polk and throughout the Florida College System."

Ordet Fiktion kommer af det latinske fictio = noget opfundet. Derfra stammer den senere brug af ordet om indbildning, digtning og fortælling.

I dag bruges ordet næsten udelukkende om det opdigtede (roman, novelle, digt), modsat f.eks. det faktuelle, og dermed også når man taler om fiktionsfilm i modsætning til dokumentarfilm.

Overordnede genrer
Fiktion kan inddeles i tre overordnede genrer:
 Epik – fortælling dvs. roman, novelle
 Lyrik – digte, folkeviser, salmer, typisk delt op i vers eller strofer
 Drama – skuespil, film

Eksempler
Det afhænger af den enkelte tekst, hvilken genre den tilhører.

Det vil sige, at et digt sagtens kan være episk eksempelvis:
 Autofiktion
 Faktion

The Police Command in Cross River has arrested a couple for allegedly trafficking their two-year old first son to an agent in Port Harcourt in exchange for money.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Hafiz Inuwa, who presented the suspects to journalists on Tuesday in Calabar, said the couple was arrested on July 23 in Calabar after a report by the mother of the child, Mrs Magdalene Bassey.
Inuwa explained that the mother of the child reported that her husband, Mr Daniel Bassey, gave out the child to a trafficking agent for an undisclosed amount of money.
"On July 23 2018, one Mrs Magdalene Bassey reported at Efut Divisional Headquarters in Calabar that her husband, Mr Daniel Bassey, took their first son to an unknown person in Port Harcourt through one woman called `Mummy'.
"The police immediately swung into action and arrested the suspect. During interrogation; the suspect revealed that his wife was a party to the transaction.
"The duo are now in police custody to unravel the cause of this inhuman action and possible prosecution," he said.
The father of the child told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that he gave out the child as collateral for N180,000 to help him pay his house rent .
"I did it based on the debt of N21,000 I collected from a friend to pay my house rent.
"There is no work in this rainy season and I am jobless. A guy from my area informed me that he knows a woman who lends money to people.
"That my friend told me that I can give out the child as collateral to get the money without necessarily selling him.
"The woman gave me N180,000 immediately after she received the child.
"After that, my mother in-law came and asked me of the child and I lied to her that I took the baby to my brother for holiday," he said.
The commissioner also presented 37 suspected armed robbers; 20 suspected cultists; eight suspects for unlawful possession of firearms and five suspects for murder, among others.
He assured that the command would continue to work in collaboration with other security agencies and residents of the state with a view to safeguarding lives and property.

The Importance of Training at a Different Academy (Athlete Journal 39)
My BJJ training schedule has undergone some changes and I am already beginning to reap the benefits.
Written by James Kearns Last updated on October 8, 2014
I'm now in the home stretch as I prepare for the Masters World Championship in November, and I'm feeling great. My BJJ training schedule has undergone some changes and I am already beginning to reap the benefits.
Training at Different Academies
Right now every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, I am drilling and training at Tactical Combat Academy. Then every Thursday I head up the road to train with Daniel Beleza, and every Friday I get some hellacious rolling in at Harrisburg BJJ and Judo.
This is the first time I have ever had such a regimented training schedule for BJJ and I will be better off for having done it. I may add in another day of no-gi every now and then, just to mix things up a little. I have added a few new things to my game and have gotten to train with some new people. I have gone all in and will have no excuses for when the time comes to step out on the mat.
My Strength and Conditioning Program
I know it is getting closer to competition because I am now in the final phase of my strength and conditioning program. This program has progressed nicely, just like my last one. I hit some decent numbers on my last week of the power phase and now I'm onto the conditioning phase. My conditioning is mostly high-rep circuit training with some barbell complexes, plyometrics, sprint intervals, and farmer's walks. The goal is to continue to improve explosiveness, while forcing my body to get rid of all the acid and waste that builds up in my muscles.
I don't put a lot of stock in the cardio aspect of training for BJJ. I just roll more and longer. In the weight room it's too hard to emulate the type of cardio needed for rolling with the gi on. If I needed to lose a few pounds, however, I would definitely bump up the cardio to work on burning calories.
I surely don't need to lose any more weight. I am actually walking around at 201lb right now. This is about three pounds lighter than I would like. The three pounds may not be a huge deal, but I just don't want that to turn into four, five, or six pounds. With the amount of training I'm doing right now, that's possible.
Fortunately, this isn't a hard fix. All I'm doing is adding in about 300 calories a day. I will weigh myself in a week and see where I'm at. If I have stayed the same or maybe gone up a pound, I will continue to consume the same amount of calories. If I am still losing weight, then I will add a couple hundred more and see where I'm at next week.

This is when James first started to train in no-gi jiu jitsu. Then, two and a half years ago, he reluctantly borrowed a gi and tried the Brazilian jiu jitsu class. James has trained in no other martial art since.
After successfully competing at the rank of blue belt for the last two years, earning six gold medals in IBJJF events and finishing the year with a gold medal in the Abu Dhabi Pro Trials adult division, James earned his purple belt in December 2013. Having set his goals high for 2014, he plans on competing six to eight times this year, including the IBJJF Masters World Championships.
Along with being an active BJJ competitor, James also trains and competes in Olympic weightlifting. Having a passion for the health and fitness industry, James is a certified personal trainer and the strength and conditioning coach at Tactical Combat Academy in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, where he focuses on individual and group program design for combat sport athletes. James is also a full time student, working on his B.S. in Sports Management.
Although training in Brazilian jiu jitsu and Olympic weightlifting, being a strength coach, and being in school keep James pretty busy, he still spends most of his time with his wife and four kids (who keep him even busier).

NHS website - Are pregnant women entitled to free NHS prescriptions?
Yes. If you're pregnant, you're entitled to free NHS prescriptions as long as you have a valid Maternity Exemption Certificate or card (MatEx).
You should apply for a maternity exemption certificate using application form FW8, available from your midwife, GP or health visitor. They will also need to sign the form.
You can claim money back for any charges you paid on or after the start date of your exemption certificate. When you pay, ask your pharmacist for an official NHS receipt – form FP57 in England or WP57 in Wales – and refund claim form when you pay.
You're also entitled to free NHS prescriptions for 12 months after your baby is born. You will need to show a valid maternity exemption certificate to prove your entitlement.

ECHR Rules in Favor of Armenian Man Convicted in Uranium Smuggling Case
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled yesterday on the case of Dadayan v. Armenia. In 2010, Armenian citizen Garik Dadayan was accused of aiding and abetting the smuggling of enriched uranium from Armenia into Georgia. The two smugglers were prosecuted and convicted in Georgia, but Dadayan was prosecuted and convicted in Armenia, primarily on the basis of the smugglers' witness statements to the Georgian authorities.
On Thursday, the court unanimously ruled in Dadayan's favor, saying there had been a violation of his right to a fair trial and right to obtain attendance and examination of witnesses) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Specifically, the court determined that Dadayan's rights were substantially violated because the trial court in Armenia never heard the smugglers' testimonies in person, as Georgian authorities refused to allow them to be transferred to Armenia while the charges against them were still pending.
In March 2010, Georgian authorities arrested two men for attempting to sell 15g of enriched uranium that had recently been transported from Armenia by train. The smugglers testified that they had paid Dadayan to travel from Russia to Armenia and sell them the radioactive material at the Yerevan Railway Station
During his trial, Dadayan requested that the smugglers be brought for questioning before the Armenian court prosecuting him, but Georgian authorities refused. In May 2011, Dadayan was found guily and sentenced to seven years in jail. The evidence in both the smugglers' and Dadayan's trials was the smugglers' witness statements, forensic examinations confirming that the smuggled substance contained enriched uranium, records of telephone calls between Dadayan and one of the smugglers, and exit and entry stamps in Dadayan's passport confirming that he had come to Yerevan from Moscow when the smugglers said he did.
Although he appealed the case, arguing that he had not been allowed to cross-examine the witnesses, The Court of Appeals upheld Dadayan's conviction, without addressing his complaint.
The ECHR noted that one of the requirements of a fair trial was the possibility for the accused to confront witnesses in the presence of the judge who ultimately would decide the case, as a judge's observations on the demeanor and credibility of a witness could have consequences for the accused. There was no good reason for the trial court to admit the statements of those absent witnesses as evidence without them being examined in court. Indeed, the trial court did not make any further attempts to try to find out whether it would be possible to transfer the two witnesses to Armenia if and when their convictions became final. Nor had any other means of examining them been contemplated, for example via video link.
The EHCR therefore concluded that, overall, Dadayan had not had a fair trial, and ordered Armenia to pay Mr. Dadayan EUR 2,400 for non-pecuniary damages and EUR 1,000 in respect of costs and expenses.

Note: All taxi information below is good for booking pick-ups from the train or bus stations if coming by land, except Omni Shuttle which primarily serves the airport.
Eugene's airport is small and easy to navigate. It is located 20 minutes from the city centre, and about 25 minutes to Univerity of Oregon's Housing complex and to most hotels in the campus district/area.
Most hotels have free shuttle service. Please check directly with your hotel to schedule a pick-up time for your arrival.
The UO Housing doesn't offer a shuttle service. To book a paying shuttle service or a taxi you can do it by phone or online. It is highly recommended to book in advance.
We are notifying several transport taxi companies about our event, so many may be available at the taxi stands outside across the street exiting from the baggage claim area.
Omni-Shuttle cost US$ 27.50 one way per person, plus $5 for each additional rider going to the same place; this is ideal if traveling together with colleague(s) or family. Riders who are going to campus and the University Inn, Best Western, or Days Inn (near campus on Franklin Blvd.) can be grouped together on the same fare, but other hotels cannot be grouped on the same fare with a campus stop.
Or walk to the Omni Shuttle desk near baggage claim upon arrival, and book your shuttle service there. However, we recommend to book in advance due to the volume of people.
Rides to campus or nearby hotels are an approximate of U.S. $25-30.
Cascade Cab operates 24/7, but highly recommended that riders call at least 24 hours ahead. They need a flight number and contact phone number for text messages. They have no problems with groups of three, as long as they don't have too much luggage.
Rides with Hybrid Taxi to campus or nearby are U.S. $38 to $42 with a max of four riders per ride. They are available 24/7. They recommend calling in advance to book.
Oregon Taxi is available at the airport 24/7. Rides cost U.S. $25 to $30 to campus or nearby. You can also book online. Riders can get a 20% discount if they call four-eight hours ahead, but they must call at least four hours ahead. It would be best to book ahead as far in advance as possible, that way they can assure that they will have enough capacity.
For block booking, it's best to email: HR@emeraldcitytaxieugene.com.
Rides between the airport and campus or nearby cost about U.S. $30. They can accommodate up to 6 in each van and 4 in each car.
