Natural TIFF | Oct 22 7.50pm; Oct 25 5.10pm
One of the less squirm-inducing inclusions in this year's Natural TIFF section, the narration-free Bestiaire sees director Denis Côté (All That She Wants) apply his talents to man's often unnatural relationship with animals, conjuring striking images in a zoo, taxidermist's and drawing class.
The Blindfold
Winds of Asia-Middle East | Oct 20 5.40pm; Oct 22 1.50pm
In a change of pace for veteran Indonesian director Garin Nugroho – best known for his lavish musical, Opera Jawa – this low-budget drama, shot mainly with non-professional actors, chronicles the recruitment of Islamic extremists.
Winds of Asia-Middle East | Oct 23 10.50am; Oct 26 8.20pm
An unexpected hit in the Philippines – where it's been chosen as the country's submission for the Academy Award for best foreign-language film – Bwakaw draws surprisingly rich returns from its tale of a cranky gay retiree (played by screen veteran Eddie Garcia) and his beloved pet dog.
Farewell, My Queen
Special Screening | Oct 22 5.05pm
Director Benoit Jacquot – something of a dab hand at period dramas – offers an antidote to Sofia Coppola's vapid Marie Antoinette with this gorgeous-looking portrait of the last days of Versailles, as seen from the perspective of a servant girl. Farewell, My Queen was the opening film at this year's Berlin Film Festival.
Winds of Asia Middle-East | Oct 25 2.20pm; Oct 27 4.40pm
The Full Monty in an old people's home, anyone? That seems to have been the inspiration for this bittersweet comedy from Zhang Yang (Sunflower), in which a group of senior citizens are reenergised by a quest to take part in a TV variety show contest. (Okay, stripteasing doesn't seem to come into it.)
Competition | Oct 21, 11am; Oct 26, 4.15pm
Margerethe von Trotta's superior biopic tackles a complex, resolutely unsexy subject: Hannah Arendt, the German Jewish philosopher who coined the phrase 'the banality of evil' in her reporting on the Adolf Eichmann trial. Hannah Arendt got good reviews when it screened at Toronto International Film Festival last month, especially for Barbara Sukowa's commanding lead performance.
Competition | Oct 20, 10.45am; Oct 22, 5.50pm
For his second directorial outing, crack Danish screenwriter Tobias Lindholm turns a ship hijacking into a tense procedural thriller, flitting between the vessel itself and the boardroom negotiations taking place back home. Very topical, for sure, but if the trailer is anything to go by, A Hijacking also looks pretty damn exciting.
World Cinema | Oct 21 4.50pm; Oct 24 6.35pm
In light of the events of last year, it'll be interesting to see if local audiences can handle J.A. Bayona's gut-wrenching recreation of the 2004 Asian tsunami. Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor star as the real-life parents who are separated by the disaster while on holiday in Thailand.
The Island President
Mohamed Nasheed ended 30 years of dictatorship when he became president of the Maldives in 2008, only to find himself fighting for the very survival of his country in the face of rising sea levels. This remarkable story provides the basis for Jon Shenk's documentary – too bad that its subject has since resigned from his job.
Japan in a Day
Special Opening | Oct 20 11.15am
Ridley Scott acted as executive producer for this crowd-sourced film, collecting footage from the first anniversary of the March 11 quake and tsunami. It may prove to be a cathartic watch for anyone who was here when the disaster happened, though the trailer has a sickly-sweet feel to it that suggests otherwise.
Midnight Screening: Corman's Way
Special Presentation | Oct 27 11pm
Hailed by some as a pioneer of independent cinema, dismissed by others as a peddler of schlock, Roger Corman was an unusual choice to head the jury at this year's fest. Get acquainted with some of his oeuvre at this all-night screening, featuring his 1971 film Von Richthofen and Brown (aka The Red Baron) and two that he produced, Piranha (1978) and Monster: Humanoids from the Deep (1980).
Competition | Oct 25, 6.30pm; Oct 27, 11.30am
The final – and best – film in Pablo Larrain's trilogy about Augusto Pinochet chronicles the popular movement, assisted by Gael García Bernal's skateboard-toting ad exec, that forced the Chilean dictator out of power in 1988. No might have an edge over other films in this year's competition: it's already picked up the Art Cinema Award in the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes.
The Other Son
Competition | Oct 20, 5.45pm; Oct 26, 19.35pm
After When Pigs Have Wings proved a crowd favourite at last year's fest, here's another (surprisingly feelgood) film about the Israel-Palestine conflict, this time focusing on two families on either side of the divide who discover that their sons were swapped at birth. Advance reviews suggest that it's another goody, with strong performances and a layered, un-preachy script.
World Cinema | Oct 21 10.20am; Oct 23 3.15pm
In his follow-up to 2008 Mafia drama Gomorrah, Matteo Garrone tackles a different – but equally pernicious – force in Italian society: reality TV. This satirical tale of a fishmonger obsessed with getting on Big Brother may want for subtlety, but it's proved a hit at other festivals, picking up the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes.
World Cinema | Oct 26 6pm
With his long-awaited 47 Ronin movie reportedly stuck in production hell, Keanu Reeves has found time to produce this timely – and highly watchable – documentary about the emergence of digital filmmaking. Martin Scorsese, James Cameron and David Lynch feature amongst the talking heads.
Japanese Eyes | Oct 21 6.20pm; Oct 24 1.50pm
One of a number of films in this year's festival to deal with the aftermath of March 11, this drama by Makoto Shinozaki (Tokyo Island) focuses on the relationship between a woman living in Tokyo and her Tohoku-based boyfriend, who's left mentally scarred by the disaster. It's being shown in a double bill with Norio Enomoto's Something Wicked Comes Over the Wall, which also looks intriguing.
Sleepless Night
After getting warm reviews for his 2009 debut, Eighteen, writer-director Jang Kun-Jae seems to be continuing his winning streak with this low-key, beautifully played portrait of the lives of a newly married couple.
World Cinema | Oct 24 12.40pm; Oct 28 7.50pm
Olivier Assayas follows up his acclaimed 2010 mini-series, Carlos, with another depiction of '70s revolutionary foment – this time following a group of student activists in Paris. The semi-autobiographical Something in the Air won the best screenplay award at Venice.
Formerly clean-cut screen stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens get seriously trashy in Harmony Korine's lurid, ultra-shallow tale of bikini-clad teens gone wild. The sleaziest film in this year's TIFF lineup (move over, Roger Corman!) is leant added weirdness by James Franco, playing a cornrow-sporting, silver-toothed drug dealer.
A Story of Yonosuke
Director Shuichi Okita won the Special Jury Prize at last year's festival for his endearing The Woodsman and the Rain. His follow-up casts rising stars Kengo Kora and Yuriko Yoshitaka (both capable of elevating the flimsiest of material) in an adaptation of Shuichi Yoshida's coming-of-age novel.
Sue, Mai & Saw: Righting the Girl Ship
The first screen adaptation of Miri Masuda's popular Su-chan manga series boasts an impressive cast in the form of Kou Shibasaki, Maki Goto and Shinobu Terajima, but it remains to be seen whether director Osamu Minorikawa (who doesn't much of a track record for this kind of stuff) fares with the material.
A Terminal Trust
Trust director Masayuki Suo to reunite the stars of his most popular film for a cheery romantic drama about assisted dying. Shall We Dance? leads Tamiyo Kusakari and Koji Yakusho play a doctor and her terminally ill patient, with a support cast including Tadanobu Asano and Takao Osawa.
Touch of the Light
Winds of Asia-Middle East | Oct 22 4.50pm; Oct 26 2pm
Taiwan's submission for best foreign-language film at next year's Academy Awards tells the story of real-life blind piano prodigy Huang Yu-Siang, with the man himself in the lead role – a daring gambit that appears to have paid off.
Japanese Eyes | Oct 22 8.05pm; Oct 25 11.30am
In an impressively quick turnaround, Bunyo Kimura (Hebano) has managed to crank out a low-budget drama based on the life of Aum Shinrikyo member Makoto Hirata (who turned himself in on New Year's Eve last year) and the woman who lived with him during his 17 years on the run.
Competition | Oct 21 1.40pm; Oct 22, 11.15am
Nick Cassavetes edges further away from his father's shadow with Yellow, his boldest and barmiest film to date. The director's wife, Heather Wahlquist, stars as a substitute teacher who finds solace from her real-world problems in fantasies that are elaborately depicted on screen. Likely to polarise audiences, to put it mildly.
Tickets go on sale from October 6. See http://portal.tickebo.jp/pc/en/1210-tiff/ for details. Tokyo International Film Festival runs from October 20-28

CO2 measuring instruments | 1-CUBE s.r.o.
Beer taste and appearance are influenced by the dissolved CO2 content (carbon dioxide) in the beverage. Consistent CO2 content is an important sign of product quality; especially for small packs. It not only concerns beer, but also other carbonated beverages. On the other hand, oxygen is undesirable. It causes oxidation and spoilage of drinks. Our measuring instruments help to check the dissolved CO2 and O2 content.
We supply top quality CO2 gehaltemeters and O2 gehaltemeters for gas measurement in beer and carbonated beverages.
We make a range of portable CO2 measuring instruments to suit different requirements and budgets. The so-called CO2 gehaltemeters are superb value. GMA series analogue CO2 measuring instruments are ideal for smaller producers, such as micro-breweries. For more demanding users, digital GMD CO2 instruments provide greater accuracy and repeatability.

Q: Install4j produces error.log with NoClassDefFoundError when installing in untranslated language I'm using install4j and it works fine for the 10 languages we've got translations for, however if a user tries to install on a (windows XP) machine that's using another language eg Russian or Estonian, then an error.log file is created in the directory containing the installer. The installation completes without any apparent problems and gives a choice of language to run in but also creates the error log.

*

*Am I doing something wrong? Or can I suppress the error?

*Is this fixed in later versions of install4j (I couldn't see any mention in the change logs and it's non-trivial to ask for our build machine's install4j to be upgraded)

*Is there already an open install4j bug?

*Do I need to collect more diagnostics?

any ideas?
Recreation Steps:

*

*Control Panel-> Regional & language settings-> Regional Options-> Standards & Formats-> Estonian

*Run Installer

*Error.log then contains:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun.awt.AppContext$PostShutdownEventRunnable
at sun.awt.AppContext.stopEventDispatchThreads(AppContext.java:535)
at sun.awt.AWTAutoShutdown.run(AWTAutoShutdown.java:296)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:736)

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.nio.charset.Charset$3
at java.nio.charset.Charset.probeExtendedProvider(Charset.java:397)
at java.nio.charset.Charset.lookupExtendedCharset(Charset.java:420)
at java.nio.charset.Charset.lookup2(Charset.java:454)

at sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder.forOutputStreamWriter(StreamEncoder.java:79)
at java.io.OutputStreamWriter.<init>(OutputStreamWriter.java:91)
at com.exe4j.runtime.util.WinDel.scheduleDeletion(Unknown Source)
at com.exe4j.runtime.WinLauncher$3.run(Unknown Source)

A: The error.log is actually not from the installer process but from a cleanup process that is launched when the installer exits. The cleanup process deletes the temporary directory to which the installer has been extracted. Due to this exception, that temporary directory has probably not been deleted. The integrity of the installation has not been impacted.
Interestingly, this error can only happen if the encoding "UTF-16LE" is not available in the JRE. However, this is one of the basic encodings that have to be available. So it looks like there's a bug in the JRE that is triggered in this specific situation.

9 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Male Stripper
1. You're probably not the whole package, but you're going to have to become the whole package — fast. Everybody deals with different challenges that they have to overcome. Personally I didn't have a background in dancing at all. So I struggled a little bit, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Some people don't have the body and shape that they want, so they have to deal with working out and getting the body they want. Others have to change their diet. Some people don't have the personality for it. I didn't really have the personality to be a male entertainer at the start so I had to kind of create a persona that was more of an entertainer.
2. Your personality is (almost) as important as your body. You get a huge amount of social interaction, and it's very easy to get quick immediate feedback because it's based off of how much money you get. So if you're doing something wrong, it will reflect in the amount of income you get. It's a very powerful motivation if you're shy, you say, "OK, well, what are the subjects that women would want to talk about and how can I learn about these subjects to use to carry on a conversation?" Being an introvert, I just had to be a little more social, I had to loosen up a bit, and it was great. Working as a male dancer allowed me to flourish into somebody who I enjoyed being, someone who is more social, versus someone who wasn't as socially comfortable very easily.
3. For a guy, stripping is not easy money. We are contractors so we don't get a wage. We get tips and that is completely it. If you're female, you can start working and make $400 to $500 a night. If you're a man, you might make $300 to $400 a week for the first few months. And we do much more involved acts, not to say we work harder. It's just a difference.
In an ideal world, we would have plenty of girls there tipping, but if there aren't a lot of girls there and I'm not making a lot of money, I know I could be making more. I could have called people and said, "Hey, why don't you come in and see me?" or I could have done my homework weeks in advance and cultivated a relationship with different people who would continually come in and support me to ensure that I don't have that slow night ever. You have to build relationships and text people to ensure you make the numbers you need to make to pay your bills. So this job is not a "oh, you show up to work, you do your job, then you leave and make a lot of money" job. It's not even a little bit like that.
4. So a lot of male strippers have other jobs too. I'm also an author, a model, an actor, so I have plenty of bad nights, but it's of my own choosing and it doesn't really bother me. We have a lot of guys who will personally train girls. Guys that will give them discounted time if they come in to the shows. It's another job, but it's also good for getting clients.
5. You can't try to please every woman in the club. You quickly learn the people who like you. Not that you don't take care of the other women, it's just that everyone has their taste and that's absolutely OK. It's important to embrace that and not focus on the fact that you're not getting attention from another girl you might be interested in but she's already interested in somebody else. If a woman doesn't like me best, then it's not even worth wasting my time on because no matter what I do, she will still like that other guy more than me. I usually cater to women who are more serious. Typically an older crowd. And women who are financially better off and want someone who is more intellectually stimulating.
6. Get to know your clients. Hang out where they hang out. Text them when you're not working. You can specifically bring people into the club who you think are your type. Depending on who your clientele is, you might go to a strip club, but if you're someone who caters more to the upper-middle class and caters toward middle-age women, like me, you may go to a wine bar and sit and chat with people there.
7. You better make friends with the other guys — they're not the competition. It's easy to feel like you're competing for tips, but it works a lot better if you're cool with the other guys. Everyone has a different type, and if someone you're friends with gets a client who's into your type, he'll hook you up.
8. But some guys will try to steal your clients. Sometimes you'll be texting a girl to come by, but then some other guy will be like, "Let's grab dinner before work," and then she's going to come in and get some dances from him, not you, and then there goes your money. There are guys who don't step on anybody's toes, and then you have the guys who step on everybody's toes. We're all friends with each other, but in the end, it's cutthroat.
9. It's easy to get carried away and sleep with a bunch of women. Don't do it. Every guy when they start is like a kid in a candy shop. I was no exception. A lot of women have negative sexual interactions in life, so when they go to a place like this and they see that they stand a chance of having a sexual interaction, it's rather enticing. But you have to think from a working perspective and realize that to do, you're probably also not going to continue to get money from that person because you're taking that fantasy away. Don't get me wrong, you build relationships. But I don't want someone to believe there is a romantic relationship between us when there's not. Clients sometimes misconstrue that the nature of your attention and that you're just being nice to them.

Editor March 16, 2022 Fighter International, Women
Helen Chung
At age 10, Helen Chung Vasiliadis chose to make karate a part of her life; today, at 26, karate is her life. It's led this young world champion to business, competitive,and educational opportunities and shaped her into what she is today – both personally and professionally. In her 16 years of practice, Helen Chung Vasiliadis has won countless titles in national and, more recently, international tournaments. She's earned a physical education degree with a specialization in exercise physiology, which has enabled her to open a business in the steadily growing health and fitness field. And she's balanced her career goals with her personal life, having married in February 1987. Indeed, Vasiliadis is the picture of success as portrayed in the minds of many of today's ambitious young women. Perhaps one contributing factor is that her two older brothers, John and Howard Chung, also have been actively involved in martial arts and have provided a motivating force for her. John Chung was the number-one-ranked American form champion for several years. Vasiliadis says this forced her to be more competitive. "For so long, I lived in John Chung's shadow," she says. "People knew me as his sister. So I had to build my own name." She's done just that.

In October 1987, she won a gold medal at the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations (WAKO) World Championships held in Munich, West Germany. Vasiliadis represented the U.S. in the semicontact middleweight division (60 kilos and under, or 121-32 pounds). She showed her clear dominance of the division by defeating her three opponents with scores of 8-3, 9-6, and 13-3. Sixteen women competed in this division, fighting two rounds, two minutes each.

Unfortunately for Vasiliadis, her left knee gave out early in the competition and she couldn't kick as well as she normally does. "I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't kick – and I'm known for my kicking. I don't punch usually, but I became a puncher then," she recalls. "I also learned how to fake really good." Of the ten overall gold medals won by the U.S. Team, three were in women's competition; Lori Lantrip and Linda Denley brought back the other two. Since Vasiliadis knew a month-and-a-half in advance that she'd be competing, she spent these few weeks in heavy training to prepare herself. With her training partner, Elsa Cordero, she ran five times a week, lifted weights three times a week, trained for endurance for an hour each day, and practiced karate at least once each day. She had to lose ten pounds to compete as a middleweight and she had to work on her hand techniques since this was her weak area. "I'd say 80 percent of my karate training focused on the hands," she says. "I knew I had to do my best because people who'd never seen me were going to see me – and they don't forget you when you compete for the World Championship. I was representing the U.S. and I wanted to give it my all." Vasiliadis began competing in the national circuit in 1979 and has been rated in the national Top 10 in both forms and fighting. She says that, until this year, she performed better in forms than as a fighter. "I did well in fighting, but when you fight, you're not working on perfection. You're looking for the fastest and easiest ways defend and attack. With the forms, you work on each technique individually to perfect it."

Vasiliadis began her karate training at the Jhoon Rhee Institute, Washington, D.C., in 1972 and over the years has studied under such notable instructors as Jimmy Rhee, Kwan Ro, Otis Hooper, Floyd Jackson, Jeff Smith and her own brothers. After receiving her degree from George Mason University, Fairfax, VA., in 1984, she moved to New York where she taught part-time at the John Chung Tae Kwon Do Institute, which her brothers operate in Mineola. She had taken a full-time job at The Sports Training Institute in Manhattan as an exercise specialist where she worked with celebrities including Kathleen Turner, Ed Bradley, Mark Breland, and Burt Young. "They come across as ordinary people – just like anyone else," says Vasiliadis. "But I was nervous.I felt honored to work with them and I pressured myself to do a good job." Almost two years later, she returned to the D.C. area where she took a job as fitness director for the U.S.D.A., counseling employees. It was a year later when she and her husband opened One-to-One Fitness. He, too, earned a physical education degree from George Mason (that's how they met) with a specialty in business. The husband and wife team now have close to 100 clients and have moved into a 2500-square-foot facility in the heart of Tyson's Corner, one of D.C.'s corporate hubs. "We have personal training sessions for clients and work with each of them on an individual basis, Vasiliadis says. Each client must complete a questionnaire to determine their goals and to list all health and medical history. Then, she says, they're given a fitness assessment. "We try to educate them about their own bodies and help them to understand what it is they need to work on," she explains. Only after these initial steps do they begin training sessions at least three times a week, 45 minutes each session. While Vasiliadis no longer teaches karate classes, she continues to train three hours each week, sometimes working with Linda Denley, who travels from Houston, Texas to visit. She also works with forms champ Charlie Lee, also a student of the Jhoon Rhee Institute, who lives only a few miles away. Kicking and hand drills, sparring, and forms are all part of Vasiliadis' karate workouts. She also lifts weights three times a week, working both the upper and lower body areas, and stretches for flexibility. Her diet consists of high-complex carbohydrates, minimum fat, 10-15 percent protein, and sufficient fluids. These habits are reflected in the Seoul, Korea native's physique. At 5'5″, the 135-pound athlete has board shoulders, narrow hips, and muscular legs. "I think women are more athletic look-ing than ever before," Vasiliadis states. "I think it has to do with the fact that they're less intimidated about working out and competing. They have seen the opportunity and have come out. Overall, women are becoming healthier, too." While these feminist views are freely given, Vasiliadis maintains that she's more of a traditional, conservative woman. "I'm very family-oriented. I like to cook and do my husband's laundry for him. I use his last name," she notes. "And he's very supportive. He runs the business while I'm away. He encourages me to compete. I'd like to continue competing in the World Championships every other year and have children in between." She laughs, but her tone suggests this is no joke. If today's women can have it all. Vasiliadis is one who's going for it. And such achievement at this young age is evidence that she's well on her way.
Helen and her husband, Doug Vasiliadis, own and operate One-to-One Fitness, a 2500-square-foot facility in the heart of Tyson's Corner, one of Washington, D.C.'s corporate hubs. The husband and wife team now have close to 100 clients. Several years ago, at The Sports Training Institute in Manhattan, Helen worked as an exercise specialist with celebrities such as Kathleen Turner, Ed Bradley, Mark Breland, and Burt Young.

Feb 7 The Ever-growing Begging Population: with special reference to Kerala
By Gowri Meempat
As a country which faces a massive unemployment crisis, India has an increasing population of destitutes and beggars. Though we have population growth in an alarming rate, we fail to make use of our human resources. The situation is no different in Kerala, a state with a cent percent literacy rate. As per the data, Kerala has 3,715 beggars on its streets and among them 1,533 are literate. We see them everywhere, in villages and towns, the handicapped, the old, transgenders, even breastfeeding women indulging in beggary for livelihood. Most people would at most sympathise and offer them alms and carry on, never once giving this issue much thought. But the attitude towards beggars has been changing lately. Beggars are often accused of crimes like kidnapping children, thieving and many a times even the innocent ones are punished. There has been intense anti-beggary campaigns in social media and incidents of mob lynching are reported in various parts. Banners warning "beggary prohibited area" are found in most public areas within the state.
This anti-beggary wave caused the Bombay Prevention of Begging Act, 1959 . Now 20 states have adopted the same or have made their own anti-beggary legislations. The Kerala Prevention of Begging and Protection of Destitute Beggars Bill aims to make begging illegal in the state. The police can take into custody without warrant, any person taking alms from the public. Persons found begging, except juveniles or a destitute beggar, should be produced before the court in 24 hours. Those incapable of manual labour would be put in 'relief centres' where education and vocational training would be given while able-bodied persons would be lodged in 'work centres' where skill trainings would be given.
No one is to be kept for more than a month in these homes. If any person gets caught the second time, he would be put in the centre for a maximum of 3 years. The bill also suggests that if the beggar has a guardian he could be asked to provide maintenance if he is able to. If there is a person wholly dependent on the beggar, as in the case of a baby or a mother or both, the state government shall introduce a scheme to take care of them. Whoever exploits a person for beggary shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend upto 3 years. He is also liable to pay a compensation needed for the total rehabilitation of the beggar as ordered by the court. The detained shall be released on condition or unconditionally if the superintendent is satisfied that the person detained would abstain from begging, recommending to the court.
The bill is an efficient one in social, constitutional and legal terms. But the execution of similar anti-beggary acts in other states wasn't successful. Police brings in beggars or destitutes to the Settlement only when some sort of public nuisance is caused by them. Else they do not take any sort of action or initiative. The conditions of rehabilitation centers are worse. There is mixed reception over such beggary eradication projects. "Alleppey was the first Kerala town which joined the project and it was named hunger-free Kerala and not beggar-free Kerala, which I think was a duplicitous tactic of the state. In the pretence of rehabilitating beggars and providing them with skill development programs and making them self sufficient, the state acted to get rid of them off the streets so that the place look more appealing to tourists. They didn't even ensure the rehabilitation of the beggars.", a student from Thrissur, who preferred anonymity said. While some consider it as a violation of human rights, the majority is enraged over how we often find even able bodied men go begging and use the money to buy liquor. They are annoyed that even our limited resources are wasted by this act and thus satisfied with the bill's proposition for employing beggars. Yet mostly they either ignore the beggars or assault them, never trying to get the officials into action.
It is imperative for the government to implement welfare schemes to prevent any further increase in the population of beggars in the state. As per Article 41 of the constitution of India, the State shall, within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provisions for securing the right to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement, and in other cases of undeserved want. Article 23 again, prohibits the trafficking of human beings and forced labor.
Children are kidnapped by the begging mafia and crippled. They are tortured and trained to beg in the streets and not many manage to escape. The Directive Principle ensures that the state shall strive to minimise income inequalities and endeavour to eliminate economic inequality as well as inequalities in status and opportunities, not only among individuals, but also among groups of people residing in different areas or engaged in different vocations as per Article 38. The State should aim to secure the right to an adequate means of livelihood for all citizens, both men and women as well as equal pay for equal work for both men and women.
The State should work to prevent concentration of wealth and means of production in a few hands, and try to ensure that ownership and control of the material resources is distributed to best serve the common good. Yet, the rich of this country keeps growing and the lives of poor worsen day by day. Article 21 says to live means live with human dignity, right to livelihood, right to health, right to pollution-free air, etc. Hence it is the government's duty to get its citizens a respectable life.
The State does spend huge amounts of money for the purpose of rehabilitating beggars. However this money is not channelized in the right direction. Homes set up for beggars do not serve their purpose. Wastage of public money therefore adds on our list of queries. Proper employment opportunities in the form of vocational trainings, setting up of micro or tiny units of industries and financial support to small scale farmers and other traditional laborers could check the creation of beggars to a great extent.
Poverty alleviation programmes need to be executed effectively. The reach and effect of these programmes shall not spare any individual even in the remotest parts of our country. Sympathy, ignorance or mob lynching is not the answer to the ever-growing begging population. Instead of treating them as a hindrance to our path to become a developed nation, we need to look at the root causes and find a resolution. They are to be rehabilitated, trained to fend for themselves and also to be equipped with staple resources to make a living and also to lead their lives with dignity.
"For just 4% of its GDP, India could at least provide a basic and modest set of social security guarantees for all citizens with universal pensions, basic health care, child benefits and employment schemes." says UNDP, Human Development Report 2015. What then causes the hurdles is a matter that needs to be pondered upon seriously. Let's ensure that no person turns to begging due to lack of alternatives.

In light of Cupid's day, Mars Wrigley hosted a 'Sweet ReTreat' pop-up located in Soho. This was a fun way to treat yourself in more ways than one! The sweet retreat offered multiple Mars product themed pampering stations to help you feel your best with a mini manicure, blowout or makeup touch-up. Michelle and I decided to treat ourselves to a quick pamper during our lunch hour and head downtown to check it out.
Upon entering, we were greeted with empty goodie bags to fill up with candy picked from the unlimited and very fruitful candy tree! We were anything but shy and quickly filled our bags to the rim with goodies knowing that everyone back at the office would appreciate some sweet Thursday treats!
After we filled our goodie bags, we made our way around to see some Valentine's Day inspired art installations that were made entirely of Mars' confectionery products. Our favorite installation was the 'Mint to Be' piece created with Altoids containers and mints, but we were also really blown away by the 'Heart to Heart' piece made with Orbit and Extra gum packs!
Michelle and I then headed towards the 'refresh lounge' to get going with our pampering. I went for a mini manicure and Michelle opted for the blowout. She was pleasantly surprised when her stylist personalized her experience by giving her a braided look!
While I waited for my appointment, I chose from a fun menu of Mars confectionery inspired nail polish colors. Inspired by the holiday, I went with the Hubba Bubba Pink!
Before leaving, we stopped by the Dove ice cream cart for our last treat and team picture!
This was the second year Mars executed this Sweet ReTreat Valentine's Day pop-up and they'll continue to evolve the event ready for next year. An experience like this allows consumers to learn and identify more with each brand's personality and allows for a more personal experience. With such a robust portfolio, Mars has the leverage to continue to grow a pop-up experience like this in locations all around the world. This was a pretty sweet and unique way for us to interact with the Mars brand!

tv CBS Morning News CBS September 24, 2010 4:30am-5:00am EDT
stuck in space. three space station crew members stuck in orbit because their landing craft won't undock. woman executed. a woman convicted in a double murder is put to death in virginia, the first woman executed in the u.s. in five years. and flood evacuations. torrential rains trigger flood emergencies and evacuations in wisconsin and minnesota. this is the "cbs morning news" for friday, september 24th, 2010. good morning, everyone. good to see you. i'm terrell brown in for betty nguyen this morning.
a u.s. astronaut and two russian cosmonauts will try again today to return to earth, in orbit more than six months aboard the international space station. ground controllers have to figure out what went wrong yesterday. clamps holding the space capsule to the station failed to open. cbs news space consultant bill harwood was at the kennedy space center as this drama unfolded. >> reporter: this was a very unusual problem, unprecedented glitch the normally reliable docking mechanism on the space station, a russian mechanism with hooks and latches designed to release on command to let the craft free to come back to earth. they tried to do that and were unable to get the system to respond. the hooks and latches simply didn't open. they spent about three hours trying to trouble shoot the problem. an astronaut inside the space station looked at the mechanism from the station side and found a very small gear with some apparently damaged teeth floating out of that mechanism that may or may not be related to this problem.
but, at the end of the day, russian flight controllers decided they simply didn't have enough time to make another attempt and called off the reentry and landing for at least 24 hours. what that means is that departing space station commander skvortsov and the flight engineer and nasa astronaut tracy coldwell dison will spend another day in space pushing their total in space before they get back to earth. the crew was never in danger in all of this but it raises a point everyone should keep in mind. the space station has two soyuz capsules on board at all times to give all six crew members to get off if there is an emergency. obviously a problem that would hang up a souyez so it can't depart is a potential threat if the station encounters a very serious problem forcing an immediate evacuation. now to the execution of
teresa lewis, the first woman put to death in this country in five years. lewis died by injection shortly after 9:00 at a virginia prison last night. it's been almost eight years since the murders of her husband and son. lewis was convicted of arranging the killings to cash in on a quarter million dollar life insurance policy. a witness from our station in richmond says when lewis entered the execution chamber, she asked if her husband's daughter kathy was there. >> well, i want kathy to know that i love you and i'm very sorry. >> protesters learned later the execution was carried out. at the united nations today, president obama will take talks on preventing new violence in sudan and host a luncheon from leaders from southeast asia following his address to the u.n. general assembly yesterday that focused on the mid east peace process. manuel gal lays go reports. >> reporter: the president is calling on world leaders to step up and lend a hand to the middle east peace process. >> peace must be made by
israelis and palestinians, but each of us has responsibility to do our part as well. >> reporter: president obama said u.s.-led negotiations can produce results if the international community sets aside decades of division and pessimism. >> when we come back here next year, we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the united nations, an independent, sovereign state of palestine living in peace with israel. >> reporter: the hall welcomed those words with applause. though israel's seats empty because of a jewish holiday. during his second speech to the u.n. general assembly, president obama was able to highlight progress on other weighty global issues. working with other nations, the president said the u.s. is waging a more effective war against terrorism and securing nuclear weapons telling iran it must obey international law. >> the iranian government must demonstrate a clear and credible commitment and confirm to the world the peaceful intent of its nuclear program. >> reporter: the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad
pushed back saying no nation should have nuclear weapons. >> translator: i would like here to propose that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament. >> reporter: u.s. delegates left the hall, as did many others after ahmadinejad suggested the 9/11 terror attacks were the work of the u.s. government. the vote extending tax cuts that expire at the end of the year has been put on hold. senate democratic leaders have decided to wait until after the november elections. majority leader harry reid blames republicans for refusing to accept the democrats' plan. it would extend bush-era tax cuts for the middle class and let them expire for the wealthy. keeping all the bush tax cuts including those for the richest americans is a key part of the republicans' new campaign manifesto. they call it their pledge to america. nancy cordes has more. >> reporter: republicans unveiled their pledge at a hardware store in northern virginia.
>> we're here today to put forth a new governing agenda. >> reporter: among the top priorities repealing the obama health care law, rolling back government spending to 2008 levels and extending the bush tax cuts. >> this is a counter with -- contract with americans. . >> reporter: it's a clear homage to the contract with america which republicans released in 1994, the last time they took over congress. in a nod to the tea party, a growing force on the right, the pledge is littered with references to the constitution and promises to reduce the federal debt. grateful tea party members even presented the minority leader with a teapot. but democrats slammed the pledge calling it recycled rhetoric from the bush years. >> the american people deserve to hear a real plan for moving america forward, not an election year gimmick filled with hyperbly and tired old failed ideas. >> reporter: even if republicans take control of the house, enacting any part of this agenda will be difficult because
democrats will still control the white house and most likely the senate. nancy cordes, cbs news, capitol hill. governors in wisconsin and minnesota issued emergency declarations for parts of their states because of flooding. up to 1500 people were told to evacuate downtown arcadia, wisconsin. floodwaters there are three feet high. a day of heavy downpours caused rivers to overflow. some homes were also evacuated in minnesota as floodwaters rose. some roads have been washed out. doctors warn parents not to panic about the recall of the popular baby formula similac. the maker is also saying it is unlikely children have consumed any formula containing insect parts. but, with five million cans of similac being recalled. some families say they did buy and use tainted formula. tara mergener is in washington with more on that. tara, good morning to you. >> good morning, terrell. similac is a top selling infant formula but last week bugs were found near a production line. the company says it is being bombarded with calls from
concerned parents. the latest recall of similac baby formula has parents across the country worried sick. >> it made me naigs, like it seriously made me nauseous. >> reporter: three days ago angela mitchell was making a bottle for her four and a half-month-old son seth when she said se spotted something black floating at the top. >> i stuck my finger in to get it out and it's an actual bug piece, like an insect piece. >> reporter: she discovered the formula she used over two weeks was one of the five million recently recalled. the maker, abbott laboratories, voluntarily yanked the product wednesday, after beetles were found in some cans and at a michigan plant. the company says it's highly unlikely any of the products already sold are contaminated. still, parents have bombarded its website and hotline demanding answers. federal officials insist the tainted formula poses no serious health risk. still, babies who drink it could
develop digestive discomfort. >> they really shouldn't worry that much but since it is a voluntary recall they should stop giving those products that have been recalled to their children. >> reporter: but for angela, it's too late. she worries her son's recent symptoms are actually a sign of contamination. >> over the last couple of weeks, just really gassy and really, you know, crying and frustrated. i thought it was maybe because we switched to soy. honestly, i couldn't tell you what it is from. >> reporter: abbott industries says recalled products should be returned for a full refund. again, the powdered formula that is in question. parents are told to use the liquid formula, which is not part of the recall. terrell, back to you. >> tara mergerner in washington, thanks for that good advice. appreciate it. the fda is imposing tough new restrictions on the once popular diabetes drug avandia linked to an increased risk of heart attack. the fda says doctors must document patients have tried other diabetes medications before giving them avandia and

Dollars vs Zollars
Government's insistence on a fixed 1:1 exchange rate has continued to create headaches for companies who have to report within prescribed accounting standards.
This comes as the US dollar, adopted as the main currency of use since 2010, is no longer the only indicator of functional currency after economic and monetary policies over the past two years saw the introduction of surrogate currency and huge electronic balances, which grew on the back of incessant of treasury bills.
After defying economic gravity for a year, Zimbabwe's homemade US dollars have fallen to earth with a bump.
Rumours that the central bank was buying up black-market US dollars last month with one of its own versions of the currency created panic in a country scarred by the hyper-inflationary spiral of 2008 that wiped out people's savings.
The worthless Zimbabwean dollar was replaced by the US dollar in 2009, but the economy has struggled over the past 18 months because of an enormous domestic shortage of greenbacks. As a result, cash — especially crisp, new, $100 bills — has enjoyed a steady 10% to 20% premium over dollars stored electronically in bank accounts — nicknamed "zollars".
But two weeks ago, the rumours that even the central bank had run out of hard currency sent the premium soaring to nearly 50%, according to black-market traders and unofficial measures of the zollar value.
"I am really scared that I will wake up one day and find my money in the bank is worthless," said Jethro Nkosi, a computer technician at a hotel in the capital Harare.
The central bank has not published currency reserves since dollarisation and Zimbabweans worry it is creating zollars without the backing of sufficient reserves or gold, leaving the system vulnerable to a crisis of confidence.
Another currency implosion would also be a major headache for 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe as he seeks to extend his 37 years in power in an election in less than a year.
On Friday, buying $100 in cash via a bank transfer cost 145 electronic zollars, a marginal improvement on 160 last week. But on September 23, when rumours of the central bank buying black-market dollars swept through Harare, the rate spiked to 185. The price of everyday goods has also leapt as importers of food to fuel to medicine are forced to turn to an increasingly unfavourable and risky black market to pay for their wares.
In just one week, the cost of cooking oil, cereal and butter imported from SA leapt by as much as 30%.
Dollars, bollars and zollars
One Harare banking source said the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe's (RBZ) Fidelity Printers and Refiners division sparked the panic two weeks ago by off-loading a large quantity of dollar "bond notes" to buy gold from small-scale mining firms.
When the newly minted notes, nicknamed "bollars", hit the streets, currency dealers assumed the central bank was mopping up greenbacks from the black market, sending the value of real dollars soaring.
Bond notes are the third form of dollars used in Zimbabwe, besides cash and zollars. Like their electronic counterparts, the quasi-currency notes are meant to be equivalent to dollars issued by the US Federal Reserve, but they are now worth less. The notes, backed by an opaque $200m loan facility from the Cairo-based Afreximbank, were first introduced in November. This week they were trading at 1.3 to the dollar after weakening to as much as 1.5 in late September.
The banking source said RBZ's Fidelity, Zimbabwe's sole gold trader, was paying mining firms for gold 60:40 in dollars and bond notes, compared with only dollars a month ago — and that had fueled suspicions that the RBZ was running out of hard currency.
RBZ governor John Mangudya denied Zimbabwe was locked in another currency crisis. He told Reuters the bank was spending $1m in bond notes a week to buy gold, but said this should not affect currency market values.
"In an economy with $180m worth of bond notes, I am not very sure whether that amount could have been responsible for a few days' change in economic fundamentals of premiums in the parallel markets," he told Reuters.
Cars, houses and stocks
However, the situation is febrile and fluid. To try to prevent a run on the domestic banking system, the government has tried to kill the black market with decrees giving the police more powers and stating that illegal-currency traders face up to 10 years in prison. Despite the warnings, illegal-currency dealers continue to trade on Harare's streets, albeit more discretely than usual because of plain-clothes police lurking in the shadows.
"This is the only way I can look after my family. But it will now be difficult to trade openly like we used to do," said currency trader Theresa Chirwa, glancing over her shoulder as she shoved a wad of bond notes and dollars into her satchel.
Assessing the true value of zollars is difficult, but economists have revived a gauge used during the hyper-inflation era — the Old Mutual Implied Rate — which compares share prices of the Old Mutual insurance firm traded in Harare and London. As the central bank rumours swirled last month, the premium for Harare shares over their London counterparts surged, meaning Zimbabweans need far more of their electronic dollars to buy the shares than someone in London using ordinary US dollars.
Besides trying to get their hands on hard cash, Zimbabweans are also converting zollars into tangible assets such as cars or property, or piling into the stock market in the hope that shares will hold value, even if their bank balances are obliterated.
As a result, Zimbabwe's main stock index, the ZSE Industrial, has surged 77% in the last month to a record high of 433 this week. The index has tripled so far this year.
"I'm investing in equity funds — hopefully that should give me some value for my money," said Nkosi, the computer technician. "We don't know what tomorrow holds."

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a roasting pan, add the brussels sprouts and carrots, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until dark and caramelized, about 50 minutes, then set aside.
As the vegetables roast, boil the potatoes. Add them to a pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch; boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain and mash with 4 tablespoons of butter, white pepper and salt; set aside.
Warm a skillet or pan over medium heat, then add the remaining olive oil and butter and warm for 1 minute. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes, then add the potatoes and winter vegetables. Mash the vegetables together, then gently pat into a thick pancake. Pan-fry until browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes, then flip and mash together. Pat flat and pan-fry again until brown and crispy, another 25 minutes, then mash once more. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher module¶

This module provides classes to perform fitting of structures.

class AbstractComparator[source]¶

Bases: monty.json.MSONable

Abstract Comparator class. A Comparator defines how sites are compared in
a structure.

abstract are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

Defines how the species of two sites are considered equal. For
example, one can consider sites to have the same species only when
the species are exactly the same, i.e., Fe2+ matches Fe2+ but not
Fe3+. Or one can define that only the element matters,
and all oxidation state information are ignored.

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

Boolean indicating whether species are considered equal.

as_dict()[source]¶

Returns

MSONable dict

classmethod from_dict(d)[source]¶

Parameters

d – Dict representation

Returns

Comparator.

abstract get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Defines a hash to group structures. This allows structures to be
grouped efficiently for comparison. The hash must be invariant under
supercell creation. (e.g. composition is not a good hash, but
fractional_composition might be). Reduced formula is not a good formula,
due to weird behavior with fractional occupancy.

Composition is used here instead of structure because for anonymous
matches it is much quicker to apply a substitution to a composition
object than a structure object.

Parameters

composition (Composition) – composition of the structure

Returns

A hashable object. Examples can be string formulas, integers etc.

class ElementComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches elements. i.e. oxidation states are
ignored.

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

True if element:amounts are exactly the same, i.e.,
oxidation state is not considered.

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

Boolean indicating whether species are the same based on element
and amounts.

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Returns: Fractional element composition

class FrameworkComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches sites, regardless of species.

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

True if there are atoms on both sites.

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

True always

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

No hash possible

class OccupancyComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches occupancies on sites,
irrespective of the species of those sites.

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

True if sets of occupancies (amt) are equal on both sites.

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Parameters

composition – Composition.

Returns

Difficult to define sensible hash

class OrderDisorderElementComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches sites, given some overlap in the element
composition

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

True if there is some overlap in composition between the species

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

True always

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Returns: Fractional composition

class PointDefectComparator(check_charge=False, check_primitive_cell=False, check_lattice_scale=False)[source]¶

Bases: monty.json.MSONable

A class that matches pymatgen Point Defect objects even if their
cartesian co-ordinates are different (compares sublattices for the defect)

NOTE: for defect complexes (more than a single defect),
this comparator will break.

Parameters

check_charge (bool) – Gives option to check
if charges are identical.
Default is False (different charged defects can be same)

check_primitive_cell (bool) – Gives option to
compare different supercells of bulk_structure,
rather than directly compare supercell sizes
Default is False (requires bulk_structure in each defect to be same size)

check_lattice_scale (bool) – Gives option to scale volumes of
structures to each other identical lattice constants.
Default is False (enforces same
lattice constants in both structures)

are_equal(d1, d2)[source]¶

Parameters

d1 – First defect. A pymatgen Defect object.

d2 – Second defect. A pymatgen Defect object.

Returns

True if defects are identical in type and sublattice.

class SpeciesComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches species exactly. The default used in
StructureMatcher.

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

True if species are exactly the same, i.e., Fe2+ == Fe2+ but not Fe3+.

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

Boolean indicating whether species are equal.

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Returns: Fractional composition

class SpinComparator[source]¶

Bases: pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.AbstractComparator

A Comparator that matches magnetic structures to their inverse spins.
This comparator is primarily used to filter magnetically ordered
structures with opposite spins, which are equivalent.

are_equal(sp1, sp2)[source]¶

True if species are exactly the same, i.e., Fe2+ == Fe2+ but not
Fe3+. and the spins are reversed. i.e., spin up maps to spin down,
and vice versa.

Parameters

sp1 – First species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

sp2 – Second species. A dict of {specie/element: amt} as per the
definition in Site and PeriodicSite.

Returns

Boolean indicating whether species are equal.

get_hash(composition)[source]¶

Returns: Fractional composition

class StructureMatcher(ltol=0.2, stol=0.3, angle_tol=5, primitive_cell=True, scale=True, attempt_supercell=False, allow_subset=False, comparator=<pymatgen.analysis.structure_matcher.SpeciesComparator object>, supercell_size='num_sites', ignored_species=None)[source]¶

Bases: monty.json.MSONable

Class to match structures by similarity.

Algorithm:

Given two structures: s1 and s2

Optional: Reduce to primitive cells.

If the number of sites do not match, return False

Reduce to s1 and s2 to Niggli Cells

Optional: Scale s1 and s2 to same volume.

Optional: Remove oxidation states associated with sites

Find all possible lattice vectors for s2 within shell of ltol.

For s1, translate an atom in the smallest set to the origin

For s2: find all valid lattices from permutations of the list
of lattice vectors (invalid if: det(Lattice Matrix) < half
volume of original s2 lattice)

For each valid lattice:

If the lattice angles of are within tolerance of s1,
basis change s2 into new lattice.

For each atom in the smallest set of s2:

i. Translate to origin and compare fractional sites in
structure within a fractional tolerance.
ii. If true:

ia. Convert both lattices to cartesian and place
both structures on an average lattice
ib. Compute and return the average and max rms
displacement between the two structures normalized
by the average free length per atom

if fit function called:

if normalized max rms displacement is less than
stol. Return True

if get_rms_dist function called:

if normalized average rms displacement is less
than the stored rms displacement, store and
continue. (This function will search all possible
lattices for the smallest average rms displacement
between the two structures)

Parameters

ltol (float) – Fractional length tolerance. Default is 0.2.

stol (float) – Site tolerance. Defined as the fraction of the
average free length per atom := ( V / Nsites ) ** (1/3)
Default is 0.3.

angle_tol (float) – Angle tolerance in degrees. Default is 5 degrees.

primitive_cell (bool) – If true: input structures will be reduced to
primitive cells prior to matching. Default to True.

scale (bool) – Input structures are scaled to equivalent volume if
true; For exact matching, set to False.

attempt_supercell (bool) – If set to True and number of sites in
cells differ after a primitive cell reduction (divisible by an
integer) attempts to generate a supercell transformation of the
smaller cell which is equivalent to the larger structure.

allow_subset (bool) – Allow one structure to match to the subset of
another structure. Eg. Matching of an ordered structure onto a
disordered one, or matching a delithiated to a lithiated
structure. This option cannot be combined with
attempt_supercell, or with structure grouping.

comparator (Comparator) –
A comparator object implementing an equals
method that declares declaring equivalency of sites. Default is
SpeciesComparator, which implies rigid species
mapping, i.e., Fe2+ only matches Fe2+ and not Fe3+.

Other comparators are provided, e.g., ElementComparator which
matches only the elements and not the species.

The reason why a comparator object is used instead of
supplying a comparison function is that it is not possible to
pickle a function, which makes it otherwise difficult to use
StructureMatcher with Python's multiprocessing.

supercell_size (str or list) – Method to use for determining the
size of a supercell (if applicable). Possible values are
num_sites, num_atoms, volume, or an element or list of elements
present in both structures.

ignored_species (list) – A list of ions to be ignored in matching.
Useful for matching structures that have similar frameworks
except for certain ions, e.g., Li-ion intercalation frameworks.
This is more useful than allow_subset because it allows better
control over what species are ignored in the matching.

as_dict()[source]¶

Returns

MSONable dict

fit(struct1, struct2, symmetric=False)[source]¶

Fit two structures.

Parameters

struct1 (Structure) – 1st structure

struct2 (Structure) – 2nd structure

If True, check the equality both ways.
This only impacts a small percentage of structures

Returns

True or False.

fit_anonymous(struct1, struct2, niggli=True)[source]¶

Performs an anonymous fitting, which allows distinct species in one
structure to map to another. E.g., to compare if the Li2O and Na2O
structures are similar.

Returns

list of species mappings that map struct1 to struct2.

get_best_electronegativity_anonymous_mapping(struct1, struct2)[source]¶

Performs an anonymous fitting, which allows distinct species in one
structure to map to another. E.g., to compare if the Li2O and Na2O
structures are similar. If multiple substitutions are within tolerance
this will return the one which minimizes the difference in
electronegativity between the matches species.

Parameters

subset (within the structure matching tolerance)

subset (Structure) – Structure containing some of the sites in
superset (within the structure matching tolerance)

Returns

structure to map to another. E.g., to compare if the Li2O and Na2O
structures are similar.

Parameters

struct1 (Structure) – 1st structure

struct2 (Structure) – 2nd structure

Returns

(min_rms, min_mapping)
min_rms is the minimum rms distance, and min_mapping is the

Calculate RMS displacement between two structures

Parameters

struct1 (Structure) – 1st structure

struct2 (Structure) – 2nd structure

Returns

lattice is found None is returned.

get_s2_like_s1(struct1, struct2, include_ignored_species=True)[source]¶

Performs transformations on struct2 to put it in a basis similar to
struct1 (without changing any of the inter-site distances)

Parameters

struct1 (Structure) – Reference structure

struct2 (Structure) – Structure to transform.

include_ignored_species (bool) – Defaults to True,
the ignored_species is also transformed to the struct1
lattice orientation, though obviously there is no direct
matching to existing sites.

Returns

A structure object similar to struct1, obtained by making a
supercell, sorting, and translating struct2.

get_supercell_matrix(supercell, struct)[source]¶

indices of struct1's corresponding sites in struct2 (or None
if there is no corresponding site), and the other items are
the remaining site indices of struct2.

Return type

supercell (numpy.ndarray(3, 3))

group_structures(s_list, anonymous=False)[source]¶

Given a list of structures, use fit to group
them by structural equality.

Дрызловский сельсовет — упразднённая административно-территориальная единица, существовавшая на территории Московской губернии и Московской области до 1954 года.

Дрызловский сельсовет возник в первые годы советской власти. По данным 1921 года он находился в составе Кульпинской волости Волоколамского уезда Московской губернии. 24 марта 1924 года в связи с ликвидацией Кульпинской волости Дрызловский с/с вошёл в состав Раменской волости.

По данным 1926 года в состав сельсовета входили 4 населённых пункта — Дрызлово, Добрино, Починки и Юренево.

В 1929 году Дрызловский с/с был отнесён к Шаховскому району Московского округа Московской области.

4 января 1952 года из Дрызловского с/с в Раменский было передано селение Мясоедово.

14 июня 1954 года Дрызловский с/с был упразднён, а его территория в полном составе передана в Новоникольский с/с.
