At Bunker Hill Community College, the Financial Aid Office is committed to assisting students and their families meet the costs of a college education. Bunker Hill Community College participates in a wide variety of federal, state, and private financial aid programs. The Financial Aid Office is here to help you through the financial aid application process and to help you decide how to best cover your educational expenses.
How do I apply for financial aid? Is there a deadline to apply for aid?
The first step in applying for financial aid is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The fastest way to file your FAFSA is on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Filing the FAFSA is always free and the Financial Aid staff is here to help you, if you need it. Students planning on taking classes in the Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 semesters should complete a 2015-2016 FAFSA application. Please review our Financial Aid Dates to Remember for our current priority deadlines.
For more detailed information on applying, please see Apply Now.
Are tuition payment plans available?
Fall and Spring semester tuition can be paid in installments. It is hoped that this plan will assist students in both budgeting and paying for their tuition.
There is a $35.00 administrative fee per semester for this service, and the plan is interest free, however, if your payment is late there will be a late fee added. Once a student has applied and paid the fee to Official Payments the student can make changes to the estimated contract amount through the BHCC Student Payment Office (617-228-2150).
What type of aid was I awarded?
You can view the types of aid you have been awarded by logging in to your account at https://selfservice.bhcc.edu/Student/Finance. . You will also be notified of your financial aid eligibility via mail.
Please be advised that due to privacy concerns, we cannot e-mail award letters.
Do I need to reapply for financial aid if I'm going to take classes next year?
Yes, you will need to file a new FAFSA for each academic year that you are enrolled in classes. We encourage you to file your FAFSA early, to give you the best chance of qualifying for the most aid. Massachusetts residents should complete their FAFSA by May 1, to be considered for the MASSGrant program. For more information on applying for financial aid please visit Apply Now.
Do I have to be a full-time student to get financial aid?
No, part-time students taking as few as three credits can qualify for some types of grant aid. We encourage you to complete your FAFSA to help the Financial Aid Office determine what types of aid may be available to you.
If I am not a full-time student will my financial aid award change?
Yes. Students that enroll in fewer than twelve credits will have their aid adjusted during the drop/add period. Remember, financial aid does not always cover every cost associated with attending school. Please be sure to review your billing statement and account information regularly.
How can I get my financial aid information sent to Bunker Hill from another college or university?
In order to have your financial aid information sent to Bunker Hill, you will need to add our school code to your FAFSA. Please go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and click on "Add or Delete a School Code" under the FAFSA Follow-Up heading. Bunker Hill's school code is 011210. It generally takes a week for Bunker Hill to receive your financial aid information, once you have added our school code.
I've already paid for my classes this semester. Should I still apply for financial aid?
Absolutely! Students that have already paid for their classes can still qualify for financial aid. These students would be eligible to receive a reimbursement up to the amount of financial aid for which they are eligible. In order to qualify for a reimbursement, students must complete their financial aid file before the end of classes for the semester.
I need to send documents in to the Financial Aid Office to complete my application. Where can I send them?
Unless we specify that we need to see the original document, the fastest way to send your documents is via fax. Our office fax number is 617-228-3407. You can also mail your documents to our office.
Can I purchase my textbooks using my financial aid?
You may be able to use financial aid funds to help with your book expenses during the Fall and Spring semesters. An agreement with the BHCC Bookstore, managed by Barnes and Noble, allows a limited advance to be made available to eligible students who are enrolled in six or more credits and whose aid is greater than their projected costs. You must complete a Book Advance Request form to be considered for a book advance. If you are eligible, you will be contacted via e-mail one week prior to the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters. There is no book advance available for the Summer semester. Please remember that adding and dropping courses may change the amount of financial aid that you are eligible to use in the bookstore.
When will I receive my financial aid funds?
When you receive an award letter, you are considered to have "pending" financial aid. This allows you to use your anticipated financial aid award to help pay your tuition, fees, and may make you eligible for a book advance to help with book costs. Your actual financial aid dollars will be credited to your account during the middle of the semester, after your enrollment level has been verified, book advance charges have been added to your account, and all NA grades have been reported to our office. Any financial aid funds that are left after your charges are paid will be refunded to you via your selected refund preference. This generally happens in late October for the Fall semester and in early April for the Spring semester.
I am considering withdrawing from a class. Will this change my financial aid?
It might. For information on how withdrawing from a class may change your financial aid award, please visit Issues That May Affect Your Aid. Students that withdraw from all of their classes are to having their financial aid award recalculated. For more information on how this is done, please visit Return of Title IV Funds Policy. Please be aware that withdrawing from multiple classes may impact your ability to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements and make you ineligible for future financial aid. For more information on Satisfactory Academic Progress, please visit Satisfactory Academic Progress.
What if I decide not to enroll, drop, or add credits?
If you decide not to enroll during a semester, the financial aid shown on your award letter will be cancelled. Students that change their credit load during the drop/add period will have their financial aid award adjusted appropriately. Adding credits after the drop/add period is over will not change the student's financial aid award. Dropping credits after the end of the drop/add period may change a students eligibility for some awards, such as the MASSGrant and Stafford loans. If you are thinking of dropping classes, please contact the Financial Aid Office before you drop to see how you will be impacted.
What if I decide to completely withdraw from the college during the semester?
Students who completely withdraw from the college after the drop/add period of an academic semester should understand the following: The U.S. Department of Education and the Massachusetts Office of Student Financial Aid mandate that a calculation be performed to determine how much financial aid the student has earned at the time the student completely withdraws from the college and award that amount to the student. The calculation and the complete policy can be found in the BHCC Catalog. Please Note: After this calculation has been completed a revised financial aid award letter will be mailed to the student and a balance may be owed to the college. The student then will need to contact the Student Payment Office to arrange to pay any financial obligations to BHCC. If you borrowed funds through the Federal Stafford student loan, you must contact the Financial Aid Office to complete an Exit Interview. You should also contact your Stafford Lender to set up a repayment schedule before your grace period ends.
What if I do not pass any of my classes?
Due to federal regulations, students that do not pass any of their classes in a given semester may become ineligible for up to 50 percent of their financial aid award. Grades are reviewed after each semester. For more information, please view Withdrawals.
Can I still get financial aid if only take one or two classes and will not be in a degree or certificate program?
In order to qualify for financial aid, student must be matriculated (accepted) into a degree or certificate program. Students that are just taking classes and are not enrolled in a degree or certificate program are not eligible for financial aid.
I am enrolled at another college or university, but I would like to take a class at Bunker Hill and transfer the credit back to my school. Can I get financial aid?
In order to qualify for financial aid, student must be matriculated (accepted) into a degree or certificate program at Bunker Hill. If you are enrolled at another college or university and are not transferring to Bunker Hill, you should discuss your options with the financial aid office at your current school.
What if I have a credit balance after my financial aid is credited to my account?
Financial aid is credited to your account during the middle of the academic semester. If you receive aid which totals more than your academic costs and bookstore charges, you will receive a refund through your selected refund preference.

Annul EP vote Turkish Cypriots demand
Turkish Cypriot candidates in the European Parliamentary elections had vowed to challenge the legitimacy of Sunday's vote in the courts. Following a fiasco where many Turkish Cypriots who were eligible to vote in the EP elections were prevented from doing so following an administrative error, 'Cyprus Mail' reports.
An amendment to the election law, passed last March, ensured that around 90,000 Turkish Cypriots aged 18 and above holding a Republic of Cyprus ID card and residing in the TRNC would be automatically granted voting rights, with no need to register in the electoral roll.
In contrast, Turkish Cypriots aged 18 and above with a Republic of Cyprus ID card but residing in South Cyprus needed to register in order to be eligible to vote The amendment thus made automatic eligibility conditional on one's residential address.
With the new law, 58,637 Turkish Cypriots automatically gained the right to vote in the European elections – those who had their address of residence in the North recorded by the authorities. All citizens of the Republic have the right to vote, but have to apply to be included in the electoral roll on reaching the age of 18.
Many claim that when Turkish Cypriots first began filling out applications to obtain Republic of Cyprus ID cards, information was transferred to the government database incorrectly. Instead of inputting applicants' residential addresses, clerks appear to have been inputting their places of birth – in South Cyprus.
As a result some 30,000 Turkish Cypriot residents of the TRNC whose correct residential address in the North was never entered into the database, show up on the system as residents of South Cyprus. Having been told that they would be automatically included in the electoral roll, they never applied to register as new voters in the same way as Greek Cypriots are required to do so.
Despite this error, official data show that only 1,869 (or 3%) of the 58,637 eligible Turkish Cypriots residing in the North actually cast their votes on Sunday.
This was picked up on by the Elections Commissioner, who cited the low turnout to dismiss calls for the annulment of the vote on the grounds that an administrative error had denied thousands of their right to vote.
Officials, in a written response to that demand from Turkish Cypriot politician Izzet Izcan, claimed that authorities had gone out of their way to ensure the smooth voting operations for the Turkish Cypriots.
The ballots were bilingual (Greek and Turkish), the Elections Commissioner said, adding that the interior ministry arranged for buses to transport Turkish Cypriots from the checkpoints to polling stations.
Independent Turkish Cypriot candidate Sener Levent who was among those who had spotted the electoral roll flaw and had complained about it days before the vote, said he would be seeking legal recourse to have the elections invalidated.
Levent, editor of the Turkish Cypriot paper 'Afrika', gained 2,718 votes – indicating that many Greek Cypriots ticked his name on the ballot paper.
Reports say that upon visiting the special polling stations around 400 Turkish Cypriots found that they were not listed on the electoral roll.
Visiting one of these polling stations, Interior Minister Socratis Hasikos got into an exchange with angry Turkish Cypriots and Deniz Birinci, an MEP candidate for the joint Greek Cypriot-Turkish Cypriot platform DRASY – EYLEM, which obtained 2,220 votes.
"This is a huge infringement of human rights and of people's democratic and civil rights," candidate Birinci told the media.
The fracas was captured live on camera, with the Turkish Cypriots unsatisfied with the stock explanation offered by Hasikos, namely that there was nothing that could be done since their residential addresses needed to be recorded in order for them to be registered on the roll.
Speaking to media crews in Greek, Birinci cited anecdotal evidence from Turkish Cypriots that most or all of them had provided their addresses to the civil registry, but because the civil servants did not understand Turkish they left the address field blank or inputted the place of birth instead.
Meanwhile Birinci was posting on her Facebook account calling for EU elections observers to be posted at the special polling stations.
Her post was accompanied by the hashtags #NoViolenceagainstwomen and #Hasikosresign. But she also made it clear she did not believe this was a deliberate attempt by authorities to strip Turkish Cypriots of their civic rights.
Birinci noted also that the electoral rolls should have been published long before, not a few days before the elections, which might have given eligible Turkish Cypriots time to take corrective action.
Turkish Cypriot media was disparaging in its coverage. 'Kibris Postasi' reports that the Turkish Cypriot candidates will be taking the matter up with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Alev Tugberk of the DRASY – EYLEM group told the paper they would be launching legal proceedings. And Birinci noted that if necessary they would ask for the annulment of the elections.
There were also reports that police at a polling station in Vrysoulles detained a Greek Cypriot man who was protesting against the exclusion of the Turkish Cypriots.
For his part, Hasikos told journalists that "we cannot change the whole procedure just because some people are shouting," adding that this would jeopardize the elections as a whole.
Asked by the media whether more Turkish Cypriots would have participated had things been done differently, Hasikos sought to downplay the issue saying that:
"At least the first step was taken [for Turkish Cypriot participation], and we should applaud that" .

Hey you out there! What shoes do you wear? I have tried on quite a few pair of shoes in the past couple years. Recently, I had a strong urge to try out the Skechers GoRun2. I must admit that like many runners out there I was a little skeptical at first but my past two weeks experience has totally changed my view! I do have a fling with bright color shoes (don't ask) so most of my shoes are either red or something really bright like the one seen here.
According to Skecher's, the Go Run2 Men size 9.o was weighed in at approx. 6.7oz with a heel-toe differential of 4mm. I could totally feel the lightweight as I took them out from the box. It was kind for the company to include two sets of shoe laces (orange and yellow); both were the flat type. Prior to taking them out for a spin, there were few things that drew my attention. First, I noticed the use of combination of fabrics on the shoe. Very thoughtful indeed! The interior is lined by a smooth microfiber like material, one that is suited for those sock-less runners out there! Of particular mention, the insole is designed to be removable for those looking for a more minimalistic feel. Both sides (exterior) of the shoe are lined with a tougher plastic/rubber like material, providing extra protection for your feet. Lastly, the toe box and the heel areas are of the same mesh flexible material, allowing the toes to flex easily and minimize chaffing on the ankle.
I have probably put on a little over 120miles on them now. I do have a wider toe box, so I have in the past looked for shoes that would suit my need. As mentioned above, the flexible mesh material was particularly comfortable for my toes to move around during those long runs. The support was great as well and it was particular evident as I raced downhill for about a mile at approx. 5:50min/mile pace. I did not notice any hot spots or chaffing. Most people talked about the lug in the middle. I didn't find that too apparent or bothersome for me. Perhaps, it was more so in the first generation. These shoes are definitely designed for mid-foot strikers, so heel strikers beware! My only concern would be the foam like material used on the bottom of the shoe might not hold up for too long. But again, a lightweight shoes as such weren't probably designed to last like those traditional runners. For those who are concerned with durability, I'd suggest to get an extra pair to reserve for speed training and race day.
Overall, I really enjoyed running in them and would definitely race in them for my upcoming 10k, Half, and even Full marathons!
I got this great recovery tip from my massage therapist and thought it'd be helpful to you all runners out there! I find that no matter how conscious you are with your running forms the body is still subjected to various levels of beating the grounds leading to aches and sores on the joints and muscles. Here's a great tip that I'd like to share! As you shower after that long run, run warm water on affected area for 3min and cold (about 15 Celsius difference) for 30sec. Repeat for three times and massage the affected area at the same time! It certainly worked well for me and hope this'd work for you too!

Are you bored with the same old running or biking routes? Try this website (also found in Iphone app store) http://www.routeloops.com/ This site/app allows you to enter your starting point or detected by GPS of your current location if you are using a GPS enabled smartphone and create a running/biking route according to your entries (e.g. mileage, direction, & etc). One of the gliches found in this application is that the mileage projected on the map is about 10% less than the entered value. A quick easy way to address this problem is simply by entering a slightly larger value. Have fun running!
The all new I Will Run program for 2013 is starting in September. Stay tuned!

Q: Return variable number of outputs from mex function Is there any way to return a variable number of outputs from a mex function?
One might pack them into a cell, but I wondered wether there is a way, so that they are expanded directly in the output list. Something like
a = mymex(arg1, arg2);

[a, b, c] = mymex(arg1, arg2, 'all');

A: Of course you can, just like any other MATLAB function:
test_mex.cpp
#include "mex.h"

void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
    for (int i=0; i<nlhs; i++) {
        plhs[i] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(i);
    }
}

MATLAB
>> [a,b,c] = test_mex()
a =
     0
b =
     1
c =
     2

You will have to determine how many arguments to return depending on the inputs/outputs, or issue an error if the function is called incorrectly (not enough input, too many outputs, etc..). The example above just accepts any number of output arguments (including none or zero outputs)
Take comma separated lists, which allow use to call functions in interesting ways:
>> out = cell(1,20);
>> [out{:}] = test_mex()
out =
  Columns 1 through 11
    [0]    [1]    [2]    [3]    [4]    [5]    [6]    [7]    [8]    [9]    [10]
  Columns 12 through 20
    [11]    [12]    [13]    [14]    [15]    [16]    [17]    [18]    [19]

This is like calling the function with 20 output variables:
>> [x1,x2,...,x20] = test_mex()

EDIT:
Just to clarify, MEX-functions act like regular M-functions defined with variable number of inputs and outputs (think function varargout = mymex(varargin)), and the same rules apply; it is up to you to manage access to inputs and create necessary outputs.
For example the previous code can be written as a regular M-function called the same way as before:
function varargout = test_fcn(varargin)
    for i=1:nargout
        varargout{i} = i-1;
    end
end

The difference is that in MEX-files you could crash MATLAB if you try to access something out-of-range, or try to write output beyond what is actually allocated.
Take this example:
#include "mex.h"
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
    for (int i=0; i<30; i++) {    // <--- note 30 as value
        plhs[i] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(i);
    }
}

Calling the above as:
>> test_mex    % careful!

will most likely cause an immediate MATLAB crash. While the same thing done in M-code, will just create unnecessary extra output variables that are destroyed after the call.
As @chappjc explained in his answer, for MEX-files you are always guaranteed to have space for at least one output (plhs is an array of mxArray* of length 1 at a minimum, so it's safe to assign plhs[0] no matter what). If the caller specifies a LHS variable then the output goes into it, otherwise the output is assigned to the special ans variable (of course you can still assign nothing, in case of zero outputs).
The opposite case of not assigning enough output variables is fortunately caught by MATLAB, and throws a regular catch-able error with ID MATLAB:unassignedOutputs (in both MEX and M-functions).
Also, accessing out-of-range inputs will cause an access violation (MATLAB will inform you of that with a big scary dialog, and the prompt will turn to "please restart MATLAB" message). Doing the same in regular M-code, will just throw a regular error "Index exceeds matrix dimensions.", nothing serious!
As you can see, it is very easy for things to go wrong in MEX world (in an unrecoverable way), so you have to pay special attention to validating input/output arguments.

A: The syntax for calling a MEX function is identical to any other MATLAB function. However, internal to the MEX  function, the number of in/out arguments used is determined by the first and third arguments to mexFunction (usually named nlhs and nrhs, can be anything).
Declaration of mexFunction in mex.h (around line 141 in R2014b):
/*
 * mexFunction is the user-defined C routine that is called upon invocation
 * of a MEX-function.
 */
void mexFunction(
    int           nlhs,           /* number of expected outputs */
    mxArray       *plhs[],        /* array of pointers to output arguments */
    int           nrhs,           /* number of inputs */
    const mxArray *prhs[]         /* array of pointers to input arguments */
);

This is not unlike the syntax for the standard main functions for C/C++ command line executables, but there are notable differences.  Unlike the native command line version (int main(int argc, const char* argv[])), the count and pointer array does not include the name of the function (argv[0] is usually the name of the executable program file), and with mexFunction there are parameters for output arguments as well as input.
The naming for nlhs and nrhs should be clear.  HINT:  In mathematics, an equation has a left hand side and a right hand side.

An important but easily overlooked quality of mexFunction I/O handling pertains to MATLAB's special ans variable, the place where function outputs (often) go if you don't assign to a variable.  In a MEX file, you need to remember the following when checking nlhs.  If nlhs=0, you can and must still write to plhs[0] for ans to be used.  It's documented, just barely, in Data Flow in MEX-Files. Consider what happens with the following code:
// test_nlhs.cpp
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
    for (int i=0; i<nlhs; ++i)
        plhs[i] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(i);
}

Outputs:
>> test_nlhs
>> [a,b] = test_nlhs
a =
     0
b =
     1

There's no output to ans because the logic with nlhs prevents it from assigning to plhs[0].  Now this code:
// test_nlhs.cpp
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
    if (nlhs==0) {
        mexPrintf("Returning special value to ""ans"".\n");
        plhs[0] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(-1);
    } else {
        mexPrintf("Returning to specified workspace variables.\n");
        for (int i=0; i<nlhs; ++i)
            plhs[i] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(i);
    }
}

Outputs
>> test_nlhs
Returning special value to ans.
ans =
    -1
>> [a,b] = test_nlhs
Returning to specified workspace variables.
a =
     0
b =
     1

It's certainly doesn't have to be a special value, and it should usually be the same first output argument, but I'm illustrating how you recognize the calling syntax.

Establishing a tech start-up in ADGM
Free Zones Dubai Abu Dhabi UAE Digital Business Set Up Expert Advice
12 November 2020 - Jessica Ashford
As the capital of the UAE, a major centre of commerce, politics and industry and a gateway to other markets in Europe, Asia and Africa, Abu Dhabi is an attractive place for entrepreneurs to set up a business. In particular, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), located in Al Maryah Island in the heart of the city.
ADGM is an award winning, international financial centre, which has rapidly gained global acknowledgment for its cutting edge, progressive business ecosystem. It is quickly fulfilling its ambition to become one of the leading financial centres in the world and is an integral part of both Abu Dhabi's and the UAE's economic growth strategy.
ADGM offers a tech start-up business licence with numerous benefits and incentive packages for new, technology driven businesses with innovative commercial concepts.
It is open to entrepreneurs of any nationality, operating in any business sector that have a business model that utilises technology as the principal means to serve their customers needs and meet market demands.
The start-up must have the possibility of scaling regionally and/or globally and meet ADGM's requirements and regulation remit.
The ADGM Tech Start-up Licence is not available for technology service providers and does not include consumer retail, manufacturing or other activities outside of ADGM's jurisdiction, unless the company being set up meets the licensing requirements of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development's (DED).
What are the requirements to obtain the tech start-up licence?
A technology-centred start-up that embraces innovation.
It should fulfil the ADGM start-up requirements.
It should have the potential to scale.
It should have current momentum or be at the prototype stage with tangible evidence of the company vision.
It can be launched in the UAE and promote growth of the local economy.
The company owner should have a detailed business model with clearly specified goals to enable progress to be assessed.
The company should comply with ADGM's regulation remit and business structures.
ADGM tech start-up licence does not cover consumer retail, manufacturing or other activities outside of ADGM's jurisdiction (Al Maryah Island), unless the start-up meets the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development's (DED) dual licensing requirements.
The start-up must have at least one dedicated desk or office space and evidence of this should be provided by presenting an executed Lease Agreement or Membership Agreement.
What are the licence fees for the ADGM Tech Start-up Licence?
The business licence is divided into two categories. These are referred to as 'seed' and 'emergent'. These classifications refer to the maturity stage of the start-up and the incentives are distinct for both.
Seed classification
Number of FTEs is between 1 and 10.
Time since first registration of the company in the UAE should not exceed 3 years.
Emergent Classification
Number of FTEs is between 11 and 50.
The incentivised licence fee for start-ups at the seed stage is USD 700 pa and for start-ups at the emergent stage, the fee is USD 4,000 pa.
If a start-up is accepted into the seed category it will automatically transfer into the emergent stage in its third year of operation.
Benefits of the ADGM Tech Start-up Licence
Competitive licence fees for the initial 5 years of operation
1.5 visas can be obtained for each desk space that the company has
The company will have eligibility to apply for a dual licence through the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development

As well as helping you through the application procedure, it can offer you guidance and assistance on business plan requirements and preparation of the incorporation documents.
Additional costs and timeframes for approval of the business licence
Other expenses which must be considered are the costs of renting office space, visa costs, establishment card and other annual obligations such as data protection renewal, return filing and accounts filing.
The timeframe to obtain the licence is dependent on a number of elements such as the quality of the application, the comprehensiveness of the information provided, initial approval from the immigration authorities and the speed in which the applicant replies to any queries that may arise. As a general point of reference, 5 days is the average processing time.
PRO Partner Group can advise you on whether the ADGM Tech Start-up licence is right for you and can guide you through the application process.

Q: Calling a @classmethod in a child class give a 'TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type' I'm making a custom dict, a simple translation database. This class has a class method to read and mount the object from a file. I sum some concepts of initialize my super class with child class to be ready to use, empty, and then fill it out with kwargs using my methods, a custom class method constructor to provide this kwargs from a file.
class TransDatabase(dict):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__()    # init the dict parent
        """do args"""

    @classmethod
    def fromfile(cls, file):
        kwargs = cls.__load_file(file)
        return cls.__init__(kwargs)    # return the custom class constructor

so that's strikes:
TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type

A: __init__ is an instance method.  In the class method, create an instance of the class by calling it:
return cls(**kwargs)

Example:
class TransDatabase(dict):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)    # init the dict parent

    @classmethod
    def fromfile(cls, file):
        kwargs = {'a':3,'b':4}  # no __load_file defined, so fake it
        return cls(**kwargs)    # return the custom class constructor

t = TransDatabase(a=1,b=2)
print(t)
t = TransDatabase.fromfile('dummy')
print(t)

{'a': 1, 'b': 2}
{'a': 3, 'b': 4}

Despite calls, odds are against Trump's impeachment or removal using 25th Amendment
The Senate has left until the eve of inauguration
President Donald Trump speaks to supporters from the Ellipse at the White House in Washington on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress prepares to certify the electoral college votes. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
By Niels Lesniewski
Posted January 7, 2021 at 1:17pm
Clarified 6:20 p.m. | Despite calls, odds are against Trump's impeachment or removal using 25th Amendment
Members of Congress are calling for President Donald Trump to be removed through either the 25th Amendment or impeachment, but the odds are against such moves.
Lawmakers have already left town, with the Senate not scheduled back for a regular session until 24 hours before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. No senator objected early Thursday morning to the scheduling of pro forma sessions only, with no business conducted, until Jan. 19. It would take unanimous consent, therefore, to do anything else until the inauguration eve.
Still, Democrats (and even some Republicans) would like to see the keys handed over to Vice President Mike Pence until Jan. 20.
"What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president. This president should not hold office one day longer," said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, who will be majority leader by the end of January based on the outcome of the runoff elections in Georgia.
"The quickest and most effective way — it can be done today — to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment," the New York Democrat said in a Thursday statement. "If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said she's on board.
"I join the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th Amendment," the California Democrat said. "If the vice president and cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. That is the overwhelming sentiment of my caucus -- and the American people by the way."
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who is third in the Senate Democratic leadership hierarchy, made a similar comment about the 25th Amendment in a statement issued in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
"The insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol today should be held fully accountable for their actions under the law. So should the President," Murray said. "The most immediate way to ensure the President is prevented from causing further harm in coming days is to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office. As history watches, I urge Vice President Pence and the President's cabinet to put country before party and act."
Under the 25th Amendment procedure, the vice president and a majority of the presidential Cabinet may determine if the president is unfit to continue to serve. If the president contests the finding (and there's no reason to think Trump wouldn't), a two-thirds vote of both chambers of Congress would ordinarily be needed to push the president aside.
But because it is the very end of the president's term, congressional leaders might be able to run out the clock because the 25th Amendment gives Congress a 21-day window after the vice president and Cabinet certify they believe that the president is not capable of serving. If Congress were to take no action during that time, Pence would remain acting president until Biden is sworn in.
A symbolic action under the 25th Amendment, rejected by Trump, could be a giant step for the history books, however, in the aftermath of the pro-Trump mob running loose at the Capitol Wednesday during the counting of Electoral College votes.
At the center of any 25th Amendment discussion would be not only Pence, who already went against Trump in fulfilling his constitutional role in the vote-counting, but also Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao.
In a letter posted to Twitter Thursday, Chao said she would leave the administration before the inauguration because of the violence.
"Yesterday our country experienced a traumatic and entirely avoidable event as supporters of the president stormed the Capitol building following a rally he addressed," she wrote. "As I'm sure is the case with many of you, it has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside."
Chao, who served all four years in the Trump administration, has also served in the administrations of George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Her resignation is effective Jan. 11. A Chao spokesman would not comment on whether she would support 25th Amendment efforts to unseat Trump before her departure.
While few elected Republicans have gone as far as the Democrats, one who has is Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
"Sadly, yesterday it became evident that not only has the president abdicated his duty to protect the American people and the people's House, he invoked and inflamed passions that only gave fuel to the insurrection we saw here," Kinzinger said in a video message.
"All indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty or even his oath, but from reality itself," he said. "It is for this reason that I call for the vice president and members of the cabinet to ensure the next few weeks are safe for the American people, and that we have a sane captain of the ship."
