"Freddie Mercury proved your sexuality doesn't have to define you"
THE TELEGRAPH – After production ended on Lucy Boynton's latest film, Bohemian Rhapsody, the 24-year-old British actress was surprised to find herself dating Freddie Mercury.
The film begins in 1970 when Farrokh Bulsara, a Zoroastrian Indian immigrant (played by Rami Malek), is working as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport. By the final scene, set 15 years later, he has become Queen's lead singer, performing a Live Aid set watched by a packed Wembley Stadium and a TV audience of 1.9 billion. When filming wrapped in February, Boynton and Malek started seeing each other.
After watching the film, it's impossible to imagine anyone but Malek as Mercury, who died of Aids-related pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 45; the 37-year-old American actor disappears entirely into the role. Learning to speak – and sing – through prosthetic teeth was only a small step on the way to a transformative performance that Brian May, Queen's guitarist, has called "flawless".
"He became Freddie so closely that I assumed many of those idiosyncrasies must be his own," says Boynton. "Then we started hanging out, and I realised that he could not be more different. Having got to know him better, and then gone back to watch the film, I just think… how?"
In Bohemian Rhapsody, Boynton plays Mary Austin, Mercury's one-time fiancée, who remained his closest friend and muse long after their romance had dwindled and he was living out his true sexuality. The relationship between the two characters is the emotional heart of a film that has had a far from straightforward journey to the screen.
Talk of a Mercury biopic first began in 2008, to be scripted by The Crown's Peter Morgan and produced by two of the surviving members of Queen, May and the drummer Roger Taylor. Two years later, Sacha Baron Cohen was said to have been cast as Mercury. But in 2013, he quit, amid reports that he wanted the film to be a "gritty, R-rated tell-all centred around the gifted, gay singer", while May and Taylor were intent on a more respectful narrative.

Lucy for The Beautiful Mind Series
Interviews Photoshoots
THE BEAUTIFUL MIND SERIES – Actress, Lucy Boynton, on being a woman in film and embracing the darkness in alternative selves.
Stepping in and out of other selves
When you're becoming another human, you have to find something in them that resonates with you. But it's not that they have to be like you. In fact what excites me most are the characters that I don't see in myself. In no other job do you get to step in and out of other selves like this.
Why I'm drawn to the dark
There's something dark in actors. To be able to be so transient in identity there has to be a certain amount of yourself that is – empty is the wrong word – open. You have to be an open wound. I love the darker material because it is an extreme that I don't experience in my own life. It quenches some kind of absence in me.
The darkest character I will ever have played…
Is one I'm going to play in Medusa, an upcoming film by Osgood Perkins. He's the director I also worked with in The Blackcoat's Daughter and I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House. The films Osgood writes are dark and devastating but also beautiful and rooted in grief and loss. Violet, my character, is dark but only in the sense of absence of light. There's an innocence to her darkness.
The empowering feeling of instilling fear
Being brought up as a woman, you have a sense of vulnerability projected onto you, in the way you are taught to take care of yourself walking home at night and so on. But in this film, Violet is the one the others fear. For someone who looks like me, someone you might mistake as vulnerable, it's empowering to instil fear in others.
Wow this is dark!

Case Studies: End of Life
An 86-year-old female patient admitted to hospital due to an increasing inability to cope at home and recent fall in which she suffered a broken hip. She has previously been diagnosed with COPD, hypertension and increasing cognitive deficits. While in recovery in hospital, an abdominal mass has been found (malignancy suspected but not confirmed), she has had a decrease in her ability to care for herself, difficulty swallowing with increasing aspiration risk, early stages of renal failure and an exacerbation of her cognitive issues. The patient does not have a formal Advance Directive nor has she assigned a Power of Attorney. She has three daughters and one son who is a cardiologist and lives out of the province. The daughters have demanded that the patient be a full code, requested that transfer be made to ICU with a PEG tube placed and dialysis started should it be required. The son phoned you over the weekend and stated that given his mothers age and complex medical situation he expects that she would be provided symptom management and comfort care but that no aggressive measures should be undertaken to interfere with the natural decline and progression of his mother's diseases. He has requested regular updates regarding her status and any interventions or treatments proposed.
What are some of the ethical issues in this case?
Does 'increasing cognitive defects' = lack of capacity?
Are any ethical principles in conflict? Autonomy? Beneficence? Nonmaleficence?
Can an SDM demand treatment?
Who is responsible for proposing a plan of care?
Mr. Parker is an 88-year-old resident of your LTC home with end-stage Alzheimer's. He is wheelchair bound and spends most of his days sleeping in his wheelchair near a window facing the garden. He needs to be spoon fed but has recently started to refuse to eat. Mr. Parker has three children, one of whom is very involved in the care of her father. The team approaches the daughter about her father refusing to eat, and feels that his refusal is legitimate. Thus, they propose changing the plan of care to palliation. The daughter absolutely refuses, claiming that "you cannot kill my father, I want everything done to keep him living!"
Do we know whether the resident is capable to make his own health care decisions?
Are there any known wishes from Mr. Parker? What would he want? What are his values?
Is his daughter the substitute decision-maker? Can she, in this role, demand treatment and expect that you comply?
Mrs. Beaudoin, who is 97 years old, was admitted to your LTC facility 6 years ago. Shortly after becoming a resident, she suffered a cardiac arrest and was found to be unresponsive by the staff; CPR was initiated for a total of 20 minutes prior to return of spontaneous circulation. She has an advanced directive stating that she agrees to "transfer to an acute care facility", but other options, such as CPR and intubation, were not explicitly addressed in this document. She has no formal Power of Attorney.
Initially, Mrs. Beaudoin had lived at your facility watching TV for most of the day. She was wheelchair bound and required assistance with most activities of daily living (ADLs). Her husband lives at your facility with her and is quite frail with moderate dementia. Mrs. Beaudoin is frequently visited by her large extended family, which comprises 4 children and 5 grandchildren. She is known to have cancer throughout much of her body, moderate dementia, a very bad heart, and type-2 diabetes.
After her cardiac arrest and a short stay in the Hospital ICU, Mrs. Beaudoin is brought back to your facility able to breathe on her own, but with a moderate -severe brain injury caused by lack of oxygen after her cardiac arrest; this has left her unable to communicate in any meaningful way with others. She is receiving thickened fluids as her source of nutrition and hydration, but is only able to consume about half of the calories that would be needed to keep her at her current weight. Unfortunately her health begins to decline further shortly after returning.
The team decides to hold a family conference with the resident's children, and proposes a plan of treatment that would focus on comfort care only, excluding CPR if needed again. The patient's eldest daughter does not agree and states that her mother is "a fighter" and wanted to live to be 100 years old so that she could receive a letter from the Queen. The daughter asks that her mother be transferred back to the acute care hospital to receive the care of "experts" and so that she could be seen by a surgeon for surgery and chemotherapy for her cancer.
The treating physician discusses the case with the intensivist on call at the hospital over the telephone. The intensivist agrees that the prognosis is extremely poor and likely the resident would not benefit from further invasive treatment. The intensivist at TOH holds a family conference with the family and team at the LTC home over the telephone. He identifies himself as an expert in the field. The older daughter, reiterates their requests to the intensivist.
Who is the appropriate substitute decision-maker (SDM) in this case?
If there is more than one SDM, what should you do if they disagree?
Because we know Mrs. Beaudoin's desire to live to be 100, must we ensure that "everything is done" in an attempt to prolong her life?
Mrs. Green, a 75-year-old patient with renal failure, currently on dialysis, who also has COPD, moderate dementia, diabetes and a new diagnosis of stage one breast cancer. There is also a past history of depression according to the family. She has been admitted to your ICU after falling down her stairs at home and is in critical condition with multiple fractures to her hip, ribs, wrists and neck. Mrs. Green does not have the capacity to make her own medical decisions and has recently started to refuse eating. Upon discussion with GI Specialists, the team agrees that the patient is not an appropriate candidate for a PEG (feeding) tube. The patient's daughter, who is her POA, insists that the you proceed with the placement of the PEG, stating that if the tube is not placed she will contact her lawyer and proceed with legal action against the physician and hospital.
Do we know the patient's wishes, or values?
Will the fact that the team feels the patient is not medically appropriate (considering risks, benefits, and likelihood of success) for a PEG tube be the deciding factor? That is, can the daughter demand the PEG tube and expect that the team provides it?
Mr. Wilson, a 51 y.o. male patient, is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition after a motor vehicle accident. He presented unconscious and is therefore unable to make his own medical decisions. The family of this patient provided a detailed formal advance directive which indicated that in the event of a traumatic injury such as this one, where the outcome is uncertain, the patient would consent to aggressive medical intervention in an attempt to stabilize and determine the severity of his injury. Life-sustaining interventions were therefore pursued.
After a myriad of test and a set of neurologic assessments were performed, it was determined that an anoxic brain injury occurred and it was not clear whether the patient would ever regain consciousness. The team needed some time to clearly establish a diagnosis, and the family members were kept informed of any progress that was made.
Several weeks passed as the patient stabilized, and the health care team was finally confident that the patient had met the criteria for being in a Persistent Vegetative State, a diagnosis that was presented to the family. According to the advance directive, if the patient were ever in a situation where their continued existence would be in such a state, he would want all life-sustaining intervention withdrawn, and be allowed to die. The family (spouse is no longer in the picture, 18 y.o. daughter, 20 y.o daughter, and 14 y.o. son) are presented with this formal diagnosis of PVS and are willing to continue to assume the responsibility of SDMs. The 14 y.o. son is adamant that his father is a 'fighter' and demands the team continue to 'do everything possible', and provide the most aggressive care they can. The 18 y.o. daughter agrees with the son, but the 20 y.o. daughter wants to respect her father's wishes and refuse further life-sustaining measures.
Who is(are) the designated SDM(s)?
Who do we listen to when they disagree?
Can the SDM(s) consent to a decision that would mean the death of the patient?
A 75-year-old healthy male was working on the roof of his house when he slipped and fell 10 ft. to the ground. He was knocked unconscious. When the paramedics arrived he was awake but confused. His vital signs were stable (e.g., Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score of 14). He was immobilized with a C-collar and backboard and taken to the ED. Shortly after arrival in the ED he became more confused, then sleepy. His GCS score decreased from 14 to 10. The attending emergency physician was concerned that perhaps the patient had a significant head injury and was in the process of arranging for a CT scan when the patient's wife arrived. The patient's condition continued to deteriorate, to a GCS score of 8. The emergency physician prepared to intubate him, but when she discussed this with the patient's wife, the wife became upset and stated that her husband had a "living will," which specifies that, if he became critically ill, he would not want any resuscitative interventions, including intubation.
*From: Pauls, M. et al. (2002). Ethics in the Trenches: preparing for ethical challenges in the emergency department. CJEM, 4:1, Pg. 45.
Was the patient adequately informed when they declared their wishes? Did they put these wishes into a particular context? That is, were they intended for reversible, or irreversible illness?
Is the patient's wife required to make a decision in the best interests of the patient? Who decides what is 'best'?
A 90 year old female, Mrs. Ruth, from home with her daughter, is admitted to hospital after sustaining a hip fracture. She has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on home oxygen and moderate to severe aortic stenosis. (Obstruction of blood flow through part of the heart) She undergoes urgent hemiarthroplasty (hip surgery) with an uneventful operative course.
The patient and her family are of Jewish background. The patient's daughter is her primary caregiver and has financial power-of-attorney, but it is not known whether she has formal power of attorney for personal care. Concerns have been raised to the ICU team about the possibility of elder abuse in the home by the patient's daughter.
Unfortunately, on postoperative day 4, the patient develops delirium with respiratory failure secondary to hospital acquired pneumonia and pulmonary edema. (Fluid in the lungs) Her goals of care were not assessed pre-operatively. She is admitted to the ICU for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for 48 hours, and then deteriorates and is intubated. After 48 hours of ventilation, it was determined that due to the severity of her underlying cardio-pulmonary status (COPD and aortic stenosis), ventilator weaning would be difficult and further ventilation would be futile.
The patient's daughter is insistent on continuing all forms of life support, including mechanical ventilation and even extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (does the work of the lungs) if indicated. However, the Mrs Ruth's delirium clears within the next 24 hours of intubation, and she is now competent, although still mechanically ventilated. She communicated to the ICU team that she preferred 1-way extubation (removal of the ventilator) and comfort care. This was communicated in writing to the ICU team, and was consistent over time with other care providers. The patient went as far to demand the extubation over the next hour, which was felt to be reasonable by the ICU team.
The patient's daughter was informed of this decision, and stated that she could not come to the hospital for 2 hours, and in the meantime, that the patient must remain intubated.
At this point, the ICU team concurred with the patient's wishes, and extubated her before her daughter was able to come to the hospital.
The daughter was angry at the team's decision, and requested that the patient be re-intubated if she deteriorated. When the daughter arrived at the hospital, the patient and daughter were able to converse, and the patient then agreed to re-intubation if she deteriorated.
Who should make decisions in this situation? Should the ICU team have extubated the patient?
Do religious beliefs constitute a justification for demanding treatment when it is not indicated?
Does the change in the patient's decision mean that she lacked the capacity to make the decision in the first place, or that she was not well informed?
A 65 year-old female patient was admitted to hospital in mid-July with a diagnosis of Metastatic Stomach Cancer and for not being able to meet her caloric intake at home. This patient is married, with three adult children (two in town, one in a different city, 6 hours away). She is a very proud and attentive grandma to two grandchildren, her own mother is still alive, and she has four siblings all living in Montreal. This patient has been followed in Montreal by an Oncologist for the past 3 years. 80% of her stomach was removed, and she currently has a CADD pump for pain – a small pump designed to deliver medication when patient's are up and about. In developing a treatment plan with this patient, her physician first considered two options: 1) Peg tube – This was not considered medically appropriate because of the significant risks involved, or 2) Naso-Gastric tube – This was not an acceptable option, according to the patient, because of the risks involved and impact on her quality of life.
At this point Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) was initiated as the only appropriate option to fulfil the patient's nutritional needs. TPN is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. Fluids are given into a vein to provide most of the nutrients the body needs. The method is used when a person cannot or should not receive feedings or fluids by mouth.
The patient remained in hospital and received TPN, with the goal of receiving home TPN through the local home-care provider. A referral was made for this home service, but due to the short life expectancy of the patient, she did not meet the required criteria and was not added to the waiting list. Despite this the patient's goals remained consistent: enjoy an acceptable quality of life, be with and see her grand children, and be able to go home so that she can spend her final days with her family.
Without having more information, can we know if the process for assessing home-TPN eligibility is fair?
Without knowing that TPN would not be provided at home, was this patient fully informed in making a decision to consent to the initial TPN in hospital? That is, would her decision to initially pursue it have changed, if she knew that she would be required to receive it in hospital?
The patient, Mr. Ramsey, is a 97-year-old man who lives alone. His son lives in an apartment upstairs and visits almost daily. Both the son and daughter of this patient are designated as Power of Attorney for personal care. Past medical history included atrial fibrillation, chronic heart failure, COPD, and deafness and visual impairment for which, a communication board is normally used. Mr. Ramsey came to the emergency department with fever and cough; admitted with chronic heart failure in June of last year. A chest x-ray was performed and Mr. Ramsey was put on antibiotic treatment; two weeks later an additional chest x-ray showed marked improvement
At this juncture Mr. Ramsey's family noted that he was no longer talking, unable to eat or weight bear on his right side. A CT scan initially showed nothing, but 2 days later a stroke was found in the left brain. Speech-language pathology was asked to see the patient that day.
The SLP assessment revealed the following:
Patient was essentially non-verbal, he could not use communication board from home, and he had weakness on the right side of his body.
The patient's son and/or daughter were usually present during assessment.
With regard to swallowing, the patient had a poor arousal level, and SLP was unable to assess swallowing safely. Mr. Ramsey had not had food or liquids by mouth (NPO) for three days, however, he was on IV fluids.
With the above findings, SLP recommended the following:
That Mr. Ramsey remain NPO with IV fluids, and introduced to the family the potential for tube feeding. It was noted that this is considered Best Practice for Stroke if a patient is NPO after 48 hours. Because Mr. Ramsey was now NPO for three days, and due to the severity of the swallowing problem (dysphagia), SLP also informed the family that NG (nasogastric) feeding was going to be recommended to the patient's physician as an option. SLP encouraged the daughter, who was present at the time of the SLP assessment, to discuss with her brother whether a feeding tube would be something their father would want and to let the doctor know. These recommendations were communicated to the doctor that day at rounds.
After rounds the following day, the patient's son came to speak to SLP and the physician about feeding tubes, and told the doctor that they would like to consent to the NG that was proposed. The doctor informed the son that it was too late in the day to get a surgical consult, so a decision made to wait.
The events that followed:
Day 4 – SLP asked to re-evaluate the patient, no change in recommendation.
Day 5 – Insertion of NG was deferred, and doctor was to discuss with family.
Day 6 – SLP again recommended NG; doctor's note to discuss patient's poor prognosis with family.
Day 9 – SLP was again asked to re-evaluate. Patient was alert, still severe communication difficulty but able to swallow sips of water only with some difficulty. Made recommendation to doctor to keep Patient NPO, recommended NG while continuing to work with Patient to increase his oral intake
Day 10 – At rounds, a discussion of day 9 events was raised, and doctor requested family meeting be arranged. A meeting was arranged for day 11. The patient's daughter wrote her consent for NG in the doctor's progress notes of chart.
Day 11 – Doctor first attempt at NG insertion, but was unable; surgeon was notified but did not come that evening; Patient's condition worsened.
Patient's son called the unit, and a nurse informed him of his father's condition. The son agreed to have the doctor on call contacted, and both the son and daughter agreed to make Patient comfort care only.
Was the standard of care met with apparent delays in treatment?
Was a communication failure responsible for the apparent delays?
What steps can be taken to ensure and encourage providers to have difficult conversations, especially at the end of life?
73-year-old female admitted to hospital with aspiration pneumonia and sepsis. Past medical history of multiple CVA's, PEG tube feeding, multiple pressure ulcers. Patient able to open eyes but not able to follow any commands or respond verbally. Patient came to hospital from home with her wife. On admission, the wife was adamant that the patient be a full code. Wife seemed to be unclear regarding patient's current medical/functional condition, and the health care team felt that due to unrealistic expectations of the wife, the patient was suffering. The team was struggling with the goals of care that were demanded. Goals of care were only changed when a new physician took over the care of the patient, and was willing to intervene.
Must the physician/health care team acquiesce to all demands by a substitute decision-maker? What were the reasons she provided for wanting "full code"?
What would the patient want in this case if she could tell the team? What would it mean to support her wishes?
What reasons were given by the first physician to not make the patient full code? And from the second physician for agreeing to full code?

Taylor misses Dolphins minicamp with illness
Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Taylor missed the first day of workouts at the Miami Dolphins' three-day minicamp because of an undisclosed illness.
DAVIE, Fla. (June 10, 2005) -- Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Taylor missed the first day of workouts at the Miami Dolphins' three-day minicamp because of an undisclosed illness.
Taylor was sent to a doctor for examination, coach Nick Saban said.
"I don't think this is something that's football-related," Saban said. "It's just the guy's not feeling well."
A call placed to Taylor's agent, Gary Wichard, was not immediately returned.
Taylor, who was voted the Dolphins' MVP last season, had a career-high 90 tackles in 2004, plus a team-high 9½ sacks and three fumble recoveries.

Q: Duvida da Utilização do BeautifulSoup Meu código abaixo é para pegar o gênero dos filmes do site IMDB, porém eu não estou sabendo pegar a tag em especifico de gêneros do site, pois as vezes em vez dele pegar o gênero ele pega a tag de keywords, pois ele pega o primeiro div que ele acha.
def get_genero(soup):
genero = soup.find  ('div', attrs={'class':'see-more inline canwrap'})
print(genero)
if genero != None:
    return [a.text for a in genero.findAll('a')]
else:
    return None

Sendo que preciso pegar apenas os gêneros dos filmes do site IMDB. Queria saber como faço pra pegar um lugar especifico, usando o BeautifulSoup.
Link de um exemplo de pagina de um filme:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4575576/?ref_=adv_li_tt

A: O problema está no seletor que você está buscando, existem vários <div> com essas três classes juntas em toda a página. O ideal é tentar criar um seletor que seja o mais específico possível do que você está tentando obter (alguns navegadores fornecessem o recurso de "copiar seletor" ou "copiar xpath", para um elemento específico quando visualizado no "inspecionar elemento").
Visualizando a estrutura da página, dá pra ver que os gêneros estão dentro do quarto <div> dentro do elemento com id='titleStoryLine'. Então pode utilizar o mesmo esquema de seletores css para obter o elemento:
from requests import get
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

soup = bs(get('https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4575576/?ref_=adv_li_tt').text)

genres = soup.select('#titleStoryLine div:nth-of-type(4) a')

for genre in genres:
   print(genre.text)

Resultando em:
Animation
Adventure
Comedy
Drama
Family
Fantasy

A: Uma das soluções que acabei encontrando foi pegar a div inteira da history line, e depois achar/selecionar um href que contenha aquela parte de palavras, da seguinte forma:
def get_genero(soup):
genero = soup.find('div', {'id' : 'titleStoryLine'})
genero = genero.select("a[href*=/search/title?genres]")
if genero != None:
    return [a.text for a in genero]
else:
    return None

Palace of Westminster, London - Priceless Palaces
Located on the north bank of the River Thames, the Palace of Westminster with its tall towers forming the backdrop of several important images of the City of London, is one of the most recognisable and iconic buildings in the world and the symbolic centre of political power in the United Kingdom. Informally known as the Houses of Parliament, it serves as the seat of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
While the palace is owned by the monarch in right of the Crown and retains its original status as a royal residence, several committees appointed by both houses manage the building and report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
In medieval times, the site of the Palace of Westminster was known as the Thorney Island, which could have housed a royal residence for Canute the Great, the Danish King, who ruled England from 1016 to 1035. Subsequently, a royal palace was built on the Thorney Island, along with the Westminster Abbey, by St Edward the Confessor, the penultimate Anglo-Saxon monarch of England, who ruled the country from 1042 to 1066.
Consequently, the Thorney Island and the surrounding area soon came to be known as Westminster, after the name of the newly built Abbey. The oldest existing part of the Palace, the Westminster Hall, was probably added during the reign of King William II, the successor of King William I, famously known as William the Conqueror or William the Bastard.
The palace served as the primary residence of the Kings of England till 1512, when during the early years of the reign of King Henry VIII, a devastating fire destroyed the royal apartments, forcing the King to leave the palace. Later, he acquired the York Place in 1534 from Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, one of his powerful ministers who lost the favour of the king, renamed it the Palace of Whitehall and used it as his principal residence. Although officially remained a royal palace, the remainder of the Westminster continued to serve as the home of the two Houses of Parliament of England and was also used by the various royal law courts. However, as Parliament struggled to carry out its business in the limited available space of ageing buildings, it underwent significant renovations from the 18th century onwards. During that long period of alteration and extension, the Stone Building was built between 1755 and 1770 and a new official residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons was built adjoining St Stephen's Chapel in 1795. Apart from that, extensive works of renovation of both the House of Commons and House of Lords were carried out between 1799 and 1801, including alterations to the exterior of St Stephen's Chapel.
Unfortunately, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament on 16 October 1834, when an overheated stove used to destroy the dispensable papers of the Exchequer set fire to the House of Lords Chamber.
Although Westminster Hall was saved due to the untiring efforts of the fire-fighters and a change in the direction of the wind, both Houses of Parliament were destroyed, along with most of the other buildings in the palace complex, except the Jewel Tower, the chapel of St Mary Undercroft Chapel and the Cloisters of St Stephen Chapel.
Westminster Hall, the oldest surviving part of Westminster Palace
Construction of the new palace complex began, when the cornerstone was laid in 1840, after Charles Barry won the subsequent competition for its reconstruction with a design for new buildings in the Gothic Revival style. The remains of the Old Palace, except the detached Jewel Tower, were incorporated into its much larger replacement, containing more than 1,100 rooms, organised symmetrically around two series of courtyards. A Partial area of the new palace, measuring around 8 acres (3.24 hectares), was reclaimed from the River Thames and was used for the setting of its nearly 984 feet (300 m) long façade, named the River Front. Christian themes were integrated into the interior design of the Palace, created by Augustus Pugin, a leading authority on Gothic architecture and style. Although the cornerstone of the palace was laid in 1840, the project took a long 30 years to complete, suffering great delays and cost overruns, as well as the death of both the leading architects.
The Queen's Robing Room
The Palace of Westminster has three main towers. The largest and tallest among them is the Victoria Tower, standing at the southwest corner of the palace with a height of 323 feet (98.5 m), which was completed in 1860 and was originally named The King's Tower. While the 299 feet (91 m) tall octagonal Central Tower that stands over the middle of the building, immediately above the Central Lobby, is the shortest of the three main towers of the palace, the Elizabeth Tower, originally known as the Clock Tower, at the north end of the palace is the most famous. The slim Clock Tower with a height of 315 feet (95 m) houses the Great Clock of Westminster, popularly known as Big Ben and the tower was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012, in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
The Royal Gallery
The Royal Staircase of the palace leads up to the principal floor with a broad, unbroken flight of 26 steps made of grey granite. The richly decorated Queen's Robing Room, usually referred to as the Robing Room, occupying the centre of the building's south front, lies at the southern end of the ceremonial axis of the Palace. While the decorative theme of the room is the legend of King Arthur, its ceiling is decorated with heraldic badges, as is the border of the wooden floor. The Royal Gallery, located immediately north of the Robing Room, is one of the largest rooms in the Palace, meant to decorate the important moments in British military history and is used for important ceremonies and state occasions. Its panelled ceiling features Tudor roses and lions and the stained-glass windows show the coats of arms of the Kings of England and Scotland. Sandwiched between the Royal Gallery and the Lords Chamber, the Prince's Chamber is a small anteroom, named after the room adjoining the Parliament Chamber in the Old Palace of Westminster and decorated with 28 oil paintings depicting the Tudor dynasty. The room also contains an eight feet tall white marble statue of Queen Victoria, seated on a throne and holding a sceptre and a laurel crown, flanked by allegorical statues of Justice and Clemency. Located directly below the Central Tower, the Central Lobby, originally named Octagon Hall due to its shape, is the heart of the Palace of Westminster and is described as the political centre of the British Empire.
The lavish interior of the House of Lord
The lavishly decorated Chamber of the House of Lords, measuring 45 by 80 feet (13.7 by 24.4 m), is located in the southern part of the Palace of Westminster. While the benches in the Chamber, along with other furnishings are coloured red, .the upper part of the Chamber is decorated with stained glass windows and by six allegorical frescoes representing religion, chivalry and law. The royal throne with its decorated golden canopy stands on a dais at the south-end of the Chamber. In front of the Throne is the Woolsack, on which the Lord Speaker sits and the mace of the House, representing royal authority, is placed on the back of the Woolsack. The Peers' Lobby, measuring 39 feet (12 m) on each side and located directly north of the Lords Chamber, is an antechamber where Lords can informally discuss or negotiate matters during sittings of the House.
Inside the House of Commons
The Commons Chamber was burned out following the Blitz during World War II, but was restored and reopened in 1950. Measuring 46 by 68 feet (14 by 20.7 m), the Chamber of the House of Commons is at the northern end of the Palace and is simpler in style and grandeur than the Lords Chamber. The antechamber, known as the Member's Lobby or simply the Lobby, is the room where the Members of Parliament hold discussions and are often interviewed by journalists. Although it was rebuilt after the heavy damage it sustained in the 1941 bombing, the archway of the door leading into the Commons Chamber has been left unrepaired as a harsh reminder of the Great War and is now known as the Rubble Arch or Churchill Arch. It may seem strange, but by tradition, the British Sovereign does not enter the Chamber of the House of Commons.
Apart from being one of the most popular tourist attractions in the City of London and an emblem of parliamentary democracy, described by Tsar Nicholas of Russia as a dream in stone, the Palace of Westminster has been enlisted as a Grade I building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
By education, I mean all-around drawing of the best in child and man in body, mind and sprit.

Laura Loomer Speaks About Her Protests Against Social Media Bans On Sputnik News
Read the full article at Sputnik News by CLICKING HERE.
Laura Loomer gained prominence in November 2018, when she handcuffed herself to the front doors of Twitter's New York headquarters after she was banned from the media platform for calling Republican Congresswoman Ilhar Omar "anti-Jewish" in a post.
She was permanently banned from Facebook and Instagram along with other conservative commentators in May 2019, being labelled as a "dangerous" individual.
"I think that Mark Zuckerberg is a liar", Loomer says, commenting on Facebook's claim of being politically impartial. She believes that Facebook's decision to remove her account was entirely "political and ideological".
Loomer recalls that she was banned right after posting an article concerning Facebook's failure to get terrorist sympathisers and extremist content booted from the platform.

Are They Really This Dumb?
My 16-year-old son Matt has the unfortunate role of being on the receiving end of a lot of my rants. None are directed towards him, well most of them aren't, most of them are about stuff we see on TV or hear on the news.
I think he knows when I am getting amped up because I'll say "You know..." and his response is, "Heeerrre we go!"
That's my response to the drama in IndyCar that has been festering for a while but is finally bubbling towards the surface concerning some owners and other hangers-on in the series wanting to get rid of Randy Bernard. I'm trying to decide if the people involved are really this stupid, gluttons for punishment or both.
Jenna Fryer of the AP reported this about 10 days ago, and Robin Miller said his piece here. He names names, among them being Michael Andretti, John Barnes, Tony George (WTF?) and Kevin Kalkhoven.
Really? People care what George and Kalkhoven think? Didn't they at one point each run a series, and didn't they run said series into the ground? And they want to be in charge again? Didn't George spend hundreds of millions of dollars of his family fortune to support an idea that was terrible in the first place, and then got canned by his own family?
Bernard went public last night, saying he knows what he is going on and is "disappointed". Ed Carpenter, who at one point was believed to be part of the revolt -- and in my mind if George is involved he is guilty by association, because my weekend in the garage area made me think ECR looks a lot like Vision Racing 2.0 because George was all over the place -- came back with a tweet that said he had nothing to do with it, then added another saying we should be focusing on selling tickets and propping up the series. (To that I say a rousing AMEN!)
After Miller's piece ran, Michael Andretti came back to say that it is all being blown out of porportion and that Robin is out of his mind. Given how hard Michael is working to build the series through the events in Milwaukee and Baltimore, I'll give him a pass here.
But beyong that, at this point, who do you believe?
At face value, the idea of ousting the current CEO is a head-scratcher. Attendance is up, ratings are up, people are finally beginning to make money. The series in terms of competition and health is sitting on its best footing in years. But yet people want to get rid of the man who is responsible for much of it.
I'm sure that means that there are plenty of things going on behind closed doors that we know nothing about. Some promises were made that apparently weren't kept, but I'm going to guess most of it has to do with the owners having little input in Bernard's decisions. Now, most of them are CEO's themselves, and while their minions have little input in THEIR decisions, they feel that they should be consulted on things, because, well, they are the owners. Makes sense doesn't it?
This is about power, I get that. And when power is involved, it doesn't matter if stupid decisions are made in attaining said power, as long as you get it in your little hands that's all you need. It's like a faction of guerillas that stage a coup in a small third world country. They blow up buildings, kill a lot of people and throw the country's economy further into the tank. But at the end, they have the power, so the path of destruction they left behind doesn't matter.
What's funny is that all of these owners are successful businessmen who would never make these types of emotional deicisions in their work, so you wonder why they do it here. Not only that, they do it again, and again, and again. The owners and the establishment have been fighting this battle for 30-plus years, don't you think they would have figured it out by now?
I just don't understand how the same people do the same self-destructive things over and over. Not only that, they pick the worst time to do it. Now, maybe this is something that has been going on for months and months, but the worst thing you can do is bring this to the surface just after the series hit one of the highest highs it has experienced since 1996, staging an event that, if managed correctly, could be the official start of the comeback of IndyCar. There is finally, FINALLY (!) a buzz, the series races the next four weekends, and by Iowa they could be on quite the roll, but yet this is the news instead.
They decide that it is time to eff all of this up. And the worst thing they are doing is fighting this battle in the public eye. Power struggles like this go on in the business world all of the time. Yet most of the time they are done when nobody is watching. Nobody wants to see it go public because it devalues a brand and drops consumer confidence in a company and its products.
And here is a tip for any owner that reads this (really, I know they don't): people who live everyday lives, who struggle with their jobs and their bills and their families but still shell out their hard earned money to come see your product, HATE IT when millionaires haggle about money and power. Yeah, we hate it. I spent a lot of money that I probably didn't have to go to Indy the last two weekends, but I did it because it is Indy and it is what I do -- and I am not looking for sympathy because I would do it again in a heartbeat. I for one can't stand this kind of bitching. Some of us, lots of us, have real problems, idiots. If you are worth over $100 million and you have to pay 100 grand extra for a car (and especially if it isn't even your money, it's your sponsor's), I don't feel your pain. Go cry someplace else.
I've held off calling every little thing that has happened in the series a "black eye on the sport" because many are just overblown by the faction of haters that hover over IndyCar, waiting to pick the carcass and say "I told you so" when all is said and done.
This one, this one is a black eye, and it is quite a shiner I might add. Remember in old movies where someone would get punched in the face and they would put raw meat on the wound to keep it from swelling? You need a Porterhouse, and later a lot of makeup, to cover this one up.
That is what pisses me off, that this battle is being waged in a public forum. At this point, I don't care who is right, wrong or otherwise. It should never have gotten this far.
As I said on Twitter, do you really, really think that all of the owners in NASCAR are happy with the way the France's run their business? No! NASCAR is run by people who have egos just as big, if not bigger, than the people in play here. Still, for the sake of everyone's best interests they keep their greivances within the family, and that's exactly how it should be handled here.
(Before anyone goes on a rant, I am not supporting NASCAR. They have their own issues to deal with.)
I'm not close enough to the series to totally understand what is going on, and I'm not going to try. I just wish everyone would get their heads together and say "we have to figure this out" and do whatever is best for the fans.
IndyCar, the series, is one of the most fan-friendly sports organizations in the world. The owners are not, and cannot understand, or do not care, about the fans and giving them what they want. They are in it for themselves, and the sport suffers because of it.
They want this series run by a Bud Selig-type. A guy that will do their bidding, push through things that they want -- whether they are good for the game or not -- and make them money. Selig does all of that for them, and yes they are all very, very rich. However, the game itself, and especially the fans, are the ones that in the end will pay for all of it.
In fact, the structure of baseball looks much like IndyCar. A few franchises dominate, and the rest are on the cusp of losing 100 games a year. The teams that lose all the time can deal with it, because they get money from the powers that be. And far be it that they would say anything because that cash spigot can be turned off at any time. That sounds really, really familiar.
I'd love to think this is another of Miller's ridiculous pieces that he throws out there from time-to-time, but despite some damning evidence, the only words we have heard from the people involved are tweets that Miller is delusional. If that's the case, tell us the truth. Take the opportunity to tell us what is really going on. We're waiting.
So even though it will fall on deaf ears, here is my plea: for once, everyone involved needs to put the fans and the best interests of the series ahead of their own personal agendas. Focus on what is important. Keep your eye on the prize.
Because if you don't, history will repeat itself. Again.

Tom G. May 31, 2012 at 7:25 AM
I feel much the same way. I think that what Indycar is lacking, and has always lacked, is the iron fisted dictatorial rule of a single "owner". The France's, and Bernie Eccelstone have issues of their own, but they rule their series with the kind of iron fist that can keep these ginormous egos in line. That's why, despite my loathing of NASCAR, in the long run the best thing that could happen to Indycar as a business would be for the George's to sell it off to the France's. It would remove the head to head competition with NASCAR, and give the France's a property that could expand their market share into a new area, something that they have been struggling with the last 5-6 years.
(Yeah, I just threw up in my mouth a little as I typed that)
I think it's important to understand that while some of these owners are successful businessmen in their own right, in their own businesses they rule the roost. Bring all these "alpha dogs" into one pack, and their is bound to be snarling. I think Pressdog put it best when he speculated that this sort of stuff goes on all the time behind the scenes in every series. The difference here is that it has spilled out into public.
In the end I hope that cooler heads prevail, and they eventually kiss and make up. Indycar is barely off of life support, any sort of "split" or mutiny now would be the end of it.
On a positive note, only 362 days left to Indy!
Tammy May 31, 2012 at 8:40 AM
Amen. To everything you say. The PR implications of this are amazing, with so many fans angry about IndyCar (some set of representatives) shooting itself in the foot.
Jim-ski May 31, 2012 at 9:48 AM
The emergency that brought everyone together (saving American open wheel racing) must be over and we now move on to "business" as usual. That's a shame-it was refreshing while it lasted. RBs done a great job and I think he'll overcome this trial.

Why Did Saudi-Emirati Yemen Talks Fail?
Islam Times - The negotiations between the representatives of the separatist groups in southern Yemen and the resigned government of Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi in Saudi Arabia's Jeddah ended without tangible results on Thursday, making the shadow of war and tensions sustain on the country's south
After the meeting, the Saudis issued a strong-toned statement practically highlighting the fruitlessness of the talks between the warring sides. Two Yemeni officials told the Reuters news agency that the Saudi statement meant that the dialogue has reached an impasse and that the two sides prepared for further clashes. The Saudi statement read that any efforts to destabilize Yemen poses a threat to the security and stability of the state and will be strongly responded. The Arab kingdom, additionally, highlighted the need for the separatist militias to hand over the military bases and state buildings to the "legitimate government."
The Security Belt Forces, militia group based in the south, on Friday said that the "situation is heading to further war. So, the people of the south are bracing for an announcement for public mobilization."
Why have the talks failed?
One of the main reasons behind the collapse of the peace initiative is the precondition set by the representatives of the fugitive president Hadi. They stipulated that the Southern Transitional Council should fully pull out of the captured areas so that they can help build the ground for implementation of the ceasefire.
Ahmad al-Maissari, Hadi government's minister of interior, on Wednesday said: "We have no timetable for talks with the Southern Transitional Council." He added: "If there must be talks, they should be held with the Emirates. This country is the main side of the conflict with us and the Transitional Council is only a political instrument in their hands."
Last week, the Emirati aircraft bombed positions of Hadi loyalists in support of the secessionist militias in the south, killing and injuring over 300 in Aden. The strikes triggered a complaint against the UAE with the United Nations by Hadi's envoy.
Yet another reason the talks failed was the separatists' demand to be given the post of vice-president along with the two ministries after full dismissal of the representatives of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Al-Islah party ministers from Hadi's cabinet. They faced strong rejection from the opposite side.
Mujtahid, an anonymous Saudi whistleblower active on Twitter, claimed that the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has promised Hadi administration that he will return to it all of its buildings and positions lost to the secessionists in Aden and other southern cities under the condition that the president replaces the Al-Islah forces and government ministers with the forces and ministers from the Transitional Council.
Re-ignition of war in Aden
Following the failure of the negotiations, the local officials have said that two sides are mobilizing their forces for renewed clashes. In the oil-rich Shabwa province, the government forces are bracing for a campaign to reclaim Abyan and Aden.
On Wednesday last week, Hadi government said that it retook control of Aden, which is a major port city, and that its forces were advancing to capture areas in other southern provinces like Abyan and Shabwa. But less than 24 hours, the Transitional Council which undertakes the administration of the seized regions in the south announced that they fully gained control of Aden city. They added that Ja'ar, Abyan province's second-largest city, also fell to the UAE-loyalist forces.
Aljazeera reported that each side has parts of the city as the clashes are resumed. Hadi government controls Al-Shaikh Othman, Dar Al-Sa'ad, Al-Barigha, and presidential Ma'ashigh Palace. And the separatist council's forces hold Kariter, Al-Mansoura, Al-Tawahi, and the airport in Aden, according to the Qatari broadcaster.
Allies come to blows, alliance erodes
As the time goes by, the gaps between Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the main allies leading the anti-Yemeni war widen and the optimism for peace in the south increasingly fades away as the two powers further go into a conflict of interests. Since the start of war, major Saudi goals revolved around checking the power gain of Ansarullah movement as the main revolutionary force in the war and leading the post-Hadi government in Sana'a, securing the kingdom's southern borders with Yemen, preventing Yemen military power increase, controlling Yemeni oil resources, and constructing oil and gas pipelines carrying hydrocarbons from Saudi Arabia to the Arabian Sea through Al-Mahra province of Yemen to cut the reliance on Strait of Hormuz for oil exports. However, the Emiratis have sought to control Yemen's southern ports and the strategic islands in Bab-el-Mandeb and Socotra.
Now and with full defeat of the Arab coalition in the fight against Ansarullah in the north, as well as Abu Dhabi's announcement to withdraw its forces from the conflict with retreat from Yemen's western coast and Ma'arib province amid Ansarullah threats to strike deep into the UAE with ballistic missiles and combat drones, Riyadh which does not want to end the war empty-handed is struggling to make economic and political gains in the south, the seat of the fugitive government. The Saudi pressure to take a share from the south increasingly makes Riyadh and Abu Dhabi come to blows.
Their division has so far played into hands of Ansarullah, facilitating advances by the popular movement in regions which are evacuated by forces loyal to the UAE. Reports say that mercenaries on the border with Saudi Arabia on Najran front after the recent developments in the south have left their positions after a request by Hamoud Saeed al-Mekhalfi, a separatist leader, to leave the Saudi borders and move inside Yemen. They reportedly quitted Marib and Taizz fronts, leaving Saudi forces and Sudanese mercenaries alone and unassisted.

Q: Printing top n distinct values of a list I want to print the top 10 distinct elements from a list:
top=10
test=[1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
for i in range(0,top):
    if test[i]==1:
        top=top+1
    else:
        print(test[i])

It is printing:
2,3,4,5,6,7,8

I am expecting:
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

What I am missing?

A: Since you code only executes the loop for 10 times and the first 3 are used to ignore 1, so only the following 3 is printed, which is exactly happened here.
If you want to print the top 10 distinct value, I recommand you to do this:
# The code of unique is taken from [remove duplicates in list](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7961363/removing-duplicates-in-lists)
def unique(l):
    return list(set(l))

def print_top_unique(List, top):
    ulist = unique(List)

    for i in range(0, top):
        print(ulist[i])

print_top_unique([1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13], 10)

A: Using numpy
import numpy as np
top=10
test=[1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
test=np.unique(np.array(test))
test[test!=1][:top]

Output
array([ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11])

A: My Solution
test = [1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
uniqueList = [num for num in set(test)] #creates a list of unique characters [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]

for num in range(0,11):
    if uniqueList[num] != 1: #skips one, since you wanted to start with two
        print(uniqueList[num])

Perhaps the only facet of the modern GOP that lives up to its name is the "old" part. Not just the fact that they are predominantly represented by old white men, but the fact that they are stuck on an old presidential administration. Just 35 House Republicans voted in favor of the investigative commission regarding the Capitol riots. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is leading the charge against it in the Senate. Over in Maricopa County, the Cyber Ninjas (whom I wouldn't hire to install antivirus software on my computer) are conducting an absurd circus that they are calling an audit – not quite as headline-catching as Viking cosplayers storming the seat of government, but a ludicrous process that has been characterized as an equally dangerous "adminsurrection."
Now it's no secret as to why the legislators are endorsing such lunacy – Trump is an easy ticket to power and wealth. Look at Elise Stefanik: By all accounts a moderate Republican who even has a legislative record of opposition to Trump; but boy did her career skyrocket when she boarded the Trump Train. Like Kayleigh McEnany, Ben Shapiro, Tomi Lahren and others, Stefanik is smart. Evil. But smart. Like Tucker Carlson, Mike Lindell, and majority of the GOP legislators and Trump loyalists, Stefanik has sold her soul to amass power and wealth. Sure, it's a morally bankrupt path that I'm pretty sure reserves them all suites in the deepest circles of Hell, but I at least understand where they are coming from. Trump offered them a golden escalator to power and they didn't hesitate. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
I also understand why so many Republican voters still support Trump's claim to the Oval Office. That's a matter of demographics. Without a strong grounding in civics, people are eager to believe that the snake oil Trump sells is their ticket to prosperity. Trump knows how to appeal to his base of the largely white non-college electorate. For a long time, we could not understand why poor rural working class voters identified so strongly with a rich trust fund urbanite whose ego had crashed so many businesses and torn apart so many lives with utter impunity. But looking back, we can probably say that it wasn't that complex at all: He spoke their language – he's not that smart and neither are majority of his voters.
To those who will look to that statement as brash elitism from an arrogant, erudite liberal S.O.B., let me confirm that I do not consider intelligence as a measure of morality or worth; plenty of brilliant people (like those mentioned here) are what Hillary Clinton rightly described as deplorable. And plenty of not-so-smart people form the sturdy, wonderful building blocks of society. In fact, if you've ever seen how hard I struggle to halve a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, you might agree that I'm in good company in the not-so-smart crowd. But Trump knows how to tie his voters' worth to their insecurities and mobilize that. Because it's probably what he's been doing throughout his whole life. Why else would he put his name on everything if not for deep insecurity? I'm a communications professional, and trust me – that's not how you build a reputable brand.
But one thing that has eluded me ever since he first declared his candidacy is what on earth he stands for politically. What are his policies?! Right now, there is a growing group of people who want to see Trump back in office. All I ask is – for what? Let's tease out this Republican wet dream that democracy is overthrown and their autocrat is reinstated as our country's chancellor. To what end?
Unlike the poor journalists who for four years hung perilously onto his every unhinged Tweet for fear of breaking news of the next World War, it was my own morbid and masochistic curiosity that drove me to read through the past three months of his mad ramblings on his new blog (if it could generously be called that).
Deadly fighting in Israel; a virus that has wracked the world for over a year; a worsening climate; you name it. Our world is in a fragile place, and the United States is center stage. But you would glean none of that if you read the former President's blog. Other than a few scarce comments that blame the current administration for all the woes of the world, it is almost exclusively propaganda promoting the Big Lie and deriding anyone who challenges him. Much like his previous social media platforms and perhaps his persona as a whole, there is no substance. And (thank goodness) his blog is not even that popular. But the threat looms dark on the horizon. He is not without a voice, even if he is without his megaphone, and he is certainly not without a Messianic following.
But where are they following him to? He is a navigator without a compass or a map or even a notion of where he wants to end up. For him, the journey certainly seems to be the destination. As long as he has a spotlight, he prospers. Since leaving office, Trump has charged the Secret Service more in lodging than many of his supporters earn in a year. But do his supporters not realize that their savior is keelhauling them?
That the Republican incumbent could not secure a second term on the heels of a crisis over which he presided is rare in modern history and speaks to his complete failure as the country's executive officer – the one meant to execute public policy. At no point in his administration did he ever have a plan, never mind a strategic one. I've echoed variations of the same rebuttal for five years now to anyone who feels that we need a "Washington outsider" to run things for a while: Would you have that same attitude about your doctor? There's a reason career public servants are the ones we choose to serve the public. A defining feature of public administration is that it is not, in fact, private – it is quite mutually exclusive, and necessarily so. And while the gears of bureaucracy often turn painfully slowly, the remedy must come from within – that's how our country's founders safeguarded their new experiment against authoritarianism.
Maybe Trump could best be likened to a hurricane. No one element alone contributes to his destructive power, but the greed of legislators, the financing from special interests, the under-education of his base, the pathology of White Supremacy, and his own toxic ego combine to create a formidable enemy to civil society.
But is it really that nauseatingly hollow? Is it all ego and greed and no policy? After four years of his presidency, I finally agree that we need to make America great again. But if Trump were to re-assume his place at the top of our government, what actions do his supporters hope to see that will make America great again? Convince me!

Q: List element remains white space after dropping it I have 4 list elements placed one after each other horizontally. When I start to resize window then one of them is dropping to the next line and remains white space instead.
HTML:

CSS:
ul > li {
    width: 120px;
    height: 50px;
    float: left;
}

JSFiddle example

My question is: how can I remove this white space after previous list element?
I already tried automatic margins, but they didn't work for me.
Thank you.
EDIT: May be problem isn't quite understandable. I did some images to see the problem.

EDIT: Due to nobody has answered the question correctly, I updated this question and pinned some images to the post. Please, this would be REALLY helpful, if you resolve this problem to me. Thank you.

A: ok try this
ul{padding:0px}
ul > li {
    width: 25%;
    height: 50px;
    background-color:#000;
    float: left;
    border: 1px solid white;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0 -1px;
}

Q: Recursive transposition cipher C I am trying to intake a string of chars and split them recursively in half until the char length is only 2. Then take the char string of 2 and swap it with the char string that would be next to it. My code is below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void encrypt(char *str, int size);

int main(){
    char input[8192];
    int length;

    printf("INPUT A PHRASE: ");
    fgets(input, 8192, stdin);
    length = strlen(input) -1;
    printf("LENGTH: %d\n", length);

    encrypt(input, length);
    printf("ENCRYPTION: %s\n", input);
    return 0;
}

void encrypt(char str[], int size){
    int i;
    int k = size / 2;

    //Encryption code here

}

Some example outputs:
Sample Input:
12345678

Sample Output:
34127856

Sample Input:
Test early and often!

Sample Output:
aeyrleT sttf!enn aod

I'm not asking anyone to do my assignments for me. Just looking for a nudge in the right direction as I am having a tough time wrapping my head around how to continuously split the string then swap.

A:
OP: "I'm not asking anyone to do my assignments for me. Just looking for a nudge in the right direction"

The recursive code needs to split the string and be careful about the length, be it odd or even.
void encrypt(char str[], int size){

  if (size <= 2) {
    // do encryption, TBD code
    retrun;
  }

  int i;
  int k = size / 2;  //  good step 1

  char *left = ____; // what is the address of the left half?  (easy)

  // call encrypt of the left half
  encrypt(left, ___); // what is the size of the left half? (easy)

  // Now do right
  char *right = ____; // what is the address of the R half?
                      // (hint, it begins at the left half end.)

  // What is the R half length (hint: total - ???)
  // now call encrypt again with R half and length
  encrypt(right, ___);

}
