Ima began adjusting to motherhood like a fish to water.
Er, more like a fish on land, you ok there Ima?
"I think I broke him!"
No, no, he's just hungry and needs a good snuggle.
Trust me on this Ima, I may not be a mother in real life, but I've mothered MANY Sim children in my day. You should ask Howl and Sophie about that one.
My Baby Boomer couple, they had to have as many children as physically possible with other restrictions in a certain time-period. They had over 10 children.
Ima's eyes bugged out of her head. "Th-th-that many?! How?! Dear watcher!"
They were both happy and well at the end, so do you trust my judgement now?
See, like a fish to water, an awkward fish - but a fish nonetheless.
"Oh, I love you dear! Who's mommy's little boy! This isn't so hard now, right?"
You've got it doll, every new mom worries about her actions, I can only imagine how you must be coping with the fact that you have triplets.
On the other side of Dragon Valley, I sent a certain couple I've been worried about to seek some therapy.
One-on-one time alone with nature and no one to bother them - well, except for me, but I have privileges.
Dekit held up his hand as they kissed.
Alright... I'll leave you to that.
The romantic interactions were flying and the wishes started to roll. They just needed a break from their duties to spend some quality time together. Things weren't perfect, but they didn't have to be - they both knew they loved each other and that's all that mattered.
Sweetie, you were promoted. You're one promotion away from your lifetime wish, and at the rate you get promotions - tomorrow should be the day.
"That's nice, dear, but can you show me how to use this new-fangled contraption? I can't figure out how to call a taxi to get home."
Should I be worried about you dear? You have a car you know.
"Oh, right, of course I do. Ta-now!"
Note to self: Have Izzy tested for memory loss.
Sam got his first promotion as he got off work, I made sure he ran straight home to see his family. Apparently, doctors don't have to wear shoes, or appropriate pants, but whatever.
"Hey, these are the new and improved scrubs."
Uh huh, aren't you just a donor though?
"I'm a Bed-Pan Cleaner, thank you very much, now if you'll excuse me, I want to kiss my wife."
"How's my woman and our baby?"
Sam put a finger in his ear and wiggled it. "Sorry, dear, I think I misunderstood you. Did you say three?"
"I think I'm going to pass out."
Again, I'm still genuinely surprised, Mr. Doctor, as to why your promotions are coming so quickly.After Sam came out of shock, he went to greet all three of his babies.
"Hello my Rose, aren't you just the most precious thing... asides from your siblings, of course."
Nice save there buddy. Wouldn't want you to be giving your children complexes before they're even toddlers.
"There's my boy! Hello Reid! I'm your daddy!"
"Oh, hello Reia! You and your sister are going to be gorgeous! Just like your mom! All the boys at school will love you! Yes they will!"
Uh... Sam, are you ok?
"And daddy will have to upgrade his chemical weaponry! Yes he will!"
Uh, I think you've had enough of that potions table for now there Sam.
"Nope, I've got to prepare now. Beautiful daughters means war on the rest of mankind whom are all savage beasts."
Ima came in the room. "You used to be a savage beast once you know."
"Exactly! I know exactly what they're thinking! It's not going to happen! Never!"
Well for now, your daughters have their own weapons, why don't you help change their diapers, Mr. Doctor.
Sam and Ima figured that with three babies that have constant needs, it was best to stay as close-by as possible. So Sam worked on improving Ima's logic skill by tutoring her in their nursery.
Dekit and Franny came home much happier and more in love than ever from their trip through nature, and tomorrow was going to be a busy day - for Dekit at least. He would be home alone with triplets while Ima joined Sam at the hospital; Izzy was aiming to get her promotion to level 9 in the Science career, and Franny had styling to do (she does have the fashion phenomenon lifetime wish).
Well, that's a little better. Franny definitely has some skills behind a makeover station.
Izzy's lifetime wish has been completed. I'm going to keep her in the Science career to max it out, but I'm just happy to have fulfilled my Izzy's lifetime wish.
You should be love, you should be.
To finish this update, I had to add another box on top of the fancy upgraded box Ara and Bradan built with their tiberium.
It's mostly the same except now there's a top floor with fancy upgraded stuff too!
On the top floor is now Sam and Ima's master/en-suite. Izzy's master and en-suite. Dekit and Franny's master and en-suite - oh and an Alchemy room. There's also two empty rooms for whenever the need arises and we need more skilling space.
Back downstairs I simply moved some things around and recolored a lot of stuff. Except the Kitchen and Dining Room, those were left completely alone.
They've been adjusted to a working area for Dekit and Franny, a REAL nursery with no extra stuff in it, and a kids bedroom for when the twins grow up.
For clarification purposes, or reminders, or whatever.
Sam and Ima have the lifetime wish of becoming World Renowned Surgeons.
Dekit wants to master the Painting and Writing skills.
Franny has the Fashion Phenomenon lifetime wish.
And Izzy completed her lifetime wish of becoming a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder.
I have also determined that Reid is the heir, as he was the first born with rainbow skin, I was kind of hoping for one of the girls to be the heir, but I'm trying to follow the rules here and they technically say it's the same for every generation, and I determined that to be the first child born with rainbow skin, which is Reid in this case. Anywho, it'll be great! Thanks for sticking around my crazy multiple updates! Ta-ta for now!

I've recently installed a new radiator and towel rail in an old loft extension with no previous heating but I can't for the life of me get the towel rail tho heat up.
I've Tee'd off from the 1st floors (floor below) flow and return and using 15mm speedfit pipe came up into the right side of the eaves in the loft. From there I used an elbow joint then continued the run for about 5 meters where it comes through the plasterboard to the position of the new full radiator.
Here I T'd the flow into the rad then kept the run going into the left side of the eaves and then along for 5 more meters till it joins into the back of the towel rails copper pipe via another elbow. The return pipe has the same run except teeing into the other side of the rad.
The new rad gets lovely and toasty but my problem is that the towel rail doesn't. Infact, most of the flow pipe after the new rad' s T doesn't.
1 - not enough pumping pressure to get to the end of the run?
- but the boiler is a 24 kW with only 8 previous Rads installed and the new rad gets very hot.
2 - a problem with the new towel rail valves somehow blocking circulation of the water?
- I cracked the valve nut on the flow side and after a minute the water started to get hot. This was the only time that section of pipe had got hot.
- if the valves were dodgy would the rest of the heating circuit work?
3 - the pipe run in the left side of the eaves takes a sort of 'rainbow' shape as it goes over the entrance hatch in the wall and is therefore higher than the towel rails valves.
- could this section of pipe have an airlock stopping the circulation of water?
Sorry this is quite long but wanted to give as much info as possible.
Any advice and help would be gratefully received!!
Of ur heating system is an open system then it won't be strong enough to heat up rad in attic.
Suggest you turn off all radiators except the towel rail and see if it then gets hot, don't forget to bleed the towel rail as you do this.
If it does get hot you will need to balance the system, if it does not try fitting a bleed valve in the top of your rainbow loop.

UH Mānoa alumnus honored for agricultural contributions
UH News » People » UH Mānoa alumnus honored…
Gerald Santo
Noted nematologist Gerald S. Santo has been named the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources' Outstanding Alumnus for 2018. As a Washington State University (WSU) professor and plant pathologist/nematologist, he saved Pacific Northwest farmers millions of dollars through use of cultural practices and nematicides to control specific nematode infestations in the soil, resulting in improved yields in potatoes and other crops.
Reared in Kapoho on Hawaiʻi Island, the Pāhoa High School graduate earned his bachelor's in tropical agriculture and master's in plant pathology at UH Mānoa before completing a PhD in plant pathology-nematology from the University of California at Davis. He spent his career in Prosser, along the Yakima River in the Columbia Basin, serving for three decades at WSU's Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center and continuing after retirement to assist growers with plant and soil analysis by operating Northwest Nema-Lab.
Santo's pioneering work on the life cycles, population dynamics, diversity and distribution of nematode species provided the building blocks to understand nematode-incited diseases and manage one of the most significant crop production pests in the region. Nematodes are unsegmented worms such as roundworms, many of which can cause disease. Idaho, Oregon and Washington produce 64 percent of the nation's potatoes. The Columbia root-knot nematode causes bumps and brown spots on potatoes, resulting in losses as high as 70 percent to farmers and devaluation or rejection of entire fields by processors. Santo discovered the previously unidentified nematode species responsible—Meloidogyne chitwoodi—and developed effective control strategies. His work on that and other nematode pests has also benefited economically important crops ranging from carrots and sugar beets to mint and alfalfa to apples and grapes.
"For my grower stakeholders and colleagues, Gerry and his company's services and advice have been important, in fact crucial, both before and after his retirement from WSU," commented Andrew Jensen, manager of the Northwest Potato Research Consortium.
Santo's research program attracted nearly $3 million in grant funding and produced more than 50 scientific articles and a like number of extension and popular press articles. He was active in several professional societies, elected president of the Society of Nematologists and awarded its CIBA-Geigy Award for advancement of knowledge about plant diseases and their control. He is widely praised for mentoring students and other scientists, freely sharing knowledge and techniques that remain in use today.
Santo has generously volunteered his time and talents in the community, coaching youth sports, developing leadership classes at his church, serving on the board of Haiti ARISE and contributing to the rebuilding of Haitian orphanages and schools following the 2010 earthquake and subsequent hurricane. In the words of his pastor, Rodney Stutzman, Santo's accomplishments are "reflected in other people's lives being implicitly bettered because they have been instructed, lead and mentored by Gerry Santo."
He will be honored at CTAHR's 30th Annual Awards Banquet on May 4 at the Ala Moana Hotel.

Opium Wars
(redirected from Anglo-Chinese Wars)
Opium Wars,
1839–42 and 1856–60, two wars between China and Western countries that marked the shift of wealth and power from East to West. The first was between Great Britain and China. Early in the 19th cent., British merchants began smuggling opium into China in order to balance their purchases of tea for export to Britain. In 1839, China enforced its prohibitions on the importation of opium by destroying at Guangzhou (Canton) a large quantity of opium confiscated from British merchants. Great Britain, which had been looking to end China's restrictions on foreign trade, responded by sending gunboats to attack several Chinese coastal cities, killing many civilians in the process. China, unable to withstand modern arms, was defeated and forced to sign the Treaty of Nanjing (1842) and the British Supplementary Treaty of the Bogue (1843). These provided that the ports of Guangzhou, Jinmen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai should be open to British trade and residence; in addition Hong Kong was ceded to the British. Within a few years other Western powers signed similar treaties with China and received commercial and residential privileges, and the Western domination of China's treaty ports began. In 1856 a second war broke out following an allegedly illegal Chinese search of a British-registered ship, the Arrow, in Guangzhou. British and French troops took Guangzhou and Tianjin and compelled the Chinese to accept the treaties of Tianjin (1858), to which France, Russia, and the United States were also party. China agreed to open 11 more ports, permit foreign legations in Beijing, sanction Christian missionary activity, and legalize the import of opium. China's subsequent attempt to block the entry of diplomats into Beijing as well as Britain's determination to enforce the new treaty terms led to a renewal of the war in 1859. This time the British and French occupied Beijing and burned the imperial summer palace. The Beijing conventions of 1860, by which China was forced to reaffirm the terms of the Treaty of Tianjin and make additional concessions, concluded the hostilities.

The Ugly Truth about… the Ugly Truth!
Well, not so ugly really. This is not a movie review. I saw it in the week, and it was good light fun even if the censors were scissor happy but erratically so – most naughty references came through but other more obvious ones were snipped.
Was it just me or did Katherine Hiegl look uncannily like Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan with her blonde curly hair extensions and makeup? I much prefer her with short hair.
I happened to love the dresses featured in the movie especially the 2 fitting yet flowing wrap dresses – the white one in the rather tiresome restaurant scene (Its by Gucci) and the midnight blue one with 3/4 sleeves in the hot air balloon scene.
I happen to have a similar looking blue dress sans jeweled belt from Banana Republic! 😀 Yay! The nice thing about flowy dresses is that it hides a multitude of sins (and imperfect bods for us regular people) Now I just need to get me in that dress in a hot air balloon with a hot guy 😉 I was in a hot air balloon over Central Australia once – watching dawn creep over the landscape from the air with kangaroos hopping along was a sight to behold!!
So that's what I observed in the movie. Oh other than that scene where Abby was driving through the Sacramento countryside with Colin. Dammit! I want that car and that scenery!!
Have you seen the movie and were you appalled or amused by it? Any observations to add?
about the hair extension, I know there is one similar product, kinda popular since last year.. Those can be found online (forum lelong etc) with affordable price.. They even have "real hair" extension which you can be perm or dye as you do like your own hair!!
Yay for Gerald Butler!!!! I was melting away when the dancing scene was on….*swoooooooon* I totally love the dresses..anyone has any idea on where to get the white one??
I got hair extensions once, real hair (eek but once you get over it it's fine) from Singapore. Far East Plaza I think. A local brought me there. Whole head full of luscious wavy nearly waist length hair in 45 minutes for about 200SGD. Honestly my real hair could never be so beautiful!
Ooh that sounds lovely! Were they clip on or the sewn on type?
Must go look for the right one now–loving the ones in the pics! And that bag is really nice–you need to get it!!
You are right about finding the right ones and you're a fashionable mummy! 😀 I don't "need" another bag!!
I like Heigl because she is not super skinny looking but looks great with curves. and Butler…yummy….
You said it about Heigl! She looks really cute too.
I can never pull off a wrap dress to save my life. How do you look like a million dollars in one without give the boys a free show every time you reach for a glass of water?
There's a popular "clip on" hair extensions line from Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves in the US.
I was laughing my head off LOL! need to get the dvd just so I can watch it over and over again without the censors 😉 love Katherine Heigl and have the hots for Gerard Butler.

Woman's death during an epidemic in 1714 has lessons that resonate in today's pandemic
The weathered, old tombstone at Cicely's grave. SUBMITTED PHOTO
By Nicole S. Maskiell
COVID-19 affects frontline workers and communities of color more than other demographic groups, and protesters agitate for racial justice, American society is wrestling with its racial memory and judging which monuments and memorials deserve a place. In The Conversation, USC history professor Nicole S. Maskiell looks back at how a few oppressed people who served on the front lines of prior epidemics have been treated and remembered. What I believe to be the oldest surviving gravestone for a black person in the Americas memorializes an enslaved teenager named Cicely. Cicely's body is interred across from Harvard's Johnston Gate in Cambridge, Mass. She died in 1714 during a measles epidemic brought to the college by a student after the summer recess of 1713. Another tombstone in the same burial ground remembers Jane, an enslaved woman who died in 1741 during an outbreak of diphtheria, or "throat distemper." When diseases struck in the Colonial era, many city residents fled to the safety of the country. Poor and enslaved people, like Jane and Cicely – the essential frontline workers of the time – stayed behind. Why were Cicely and Jane memorialized when so many other enslaved people were not? The archival record doesn't provide a clear answer, but the question of who should be remembered with monuments and commemorations is timely. Throughout the United States, as COVID-19 affects frontline workers and communities of color more than other demographic groups, and protesters agitate for racial justice, American society is wrestling with its racial memory and judging which monuments and memorials deserve a place. Against this backdrop, I believe it's important to look back at how a few marginalized people who served on the front lines of prior epidemics have been treated and remembered. After all, those whom society chooses to memorialize reflect what accomplishments – honorable or horrific – society values. The lives, labor and sacrifices of women and girls of color have been overlooked for centuries. Of the 3.5 million books in Widener Library – the centerpiece of Harvard's vast library system – I found that not one was devoted to Cicely or Jane, and few focus on women like them. For early-American historians of Northern slavery like me, such fragmentary and untold stories are both intriguing and challenging. But this particular story was also personal, because when I first stumbled on Cicely's tombstone, I was also a black teen. I was a sophomore studying history at Harvard when I came upon the headstone while wandering in the Colonial-era graveyard adjacent to campus. It had a carving of a death's head on top and winding vines down the sides. It was both ordinary and extraordinary – it looked like other tombstones in the graveyard, but this one memorialized a young black girl. I wondered about Cicely. She most likely did domestic work in and around Harvard, as her enslaver was a Cambridge minister and a tutor at the college. But what else did she do during her short life, and why did her enslavers memorialize her with a tombstone? These questions and the mystery of her life inspired me to become a historian. Over the years, I have been passionate about piecing together fragments of her and Jane's lives. Jane's enslaver kept a diary that provided some details about her life, but I found little written about Cicely beyond her adult baptismal record, dated just two months before her death. Cicely lived and died during a time of racial unrest and disease. A slave revolt in 1712 in New York City led to several brutal executions and deportations. News of the revolt spread throughout the Colonies, stoking concerns of a wider uprising. Colonists armed themselves in fear. Slavery existed in every Colony, including the North. At the time of the revolt, the Northern Colonies – from Nova Scotia down to Delaware – were home to around 9,000 enslaved people, representing a third of the enslaved population of the British mainland colonies. New York City had 5,841 residents, of which 975 were held as slaves. Boston had roughly 400 enslaved people. Racial unrest was quickly followed by contagion. A measles outbreak the next year followed the same path up the coast as news of the revolt had traveled. The epidemic started in Newport, Rhode Island, in the summer of 1713 and hit Cambridge that September. It broke out at Harvard before spreading to Boston. More than 400 Bostonians died – about 18% of them people of color – at a time when Black people were only 4% of the total population. Racial discord and disease continued throughout the Colonial period. Between Cicely and Jane's deaths in 1714 and 1741, a smallpox crisis gripped Boston, inflaming racial tensions. An enslaved person named Onesimus helped introduce an early form of inoculation called "variolation." This technique was practiced on both white and Black Bostonians, to the consternation of many. On its heels, a five-year diphtheria outbreak ravaged New England, killing 5,000 people, including Jane. Much like today, Colonists received mixed messages during disease outbreaks, with some leaders touting the value of inoculations while others stood fast against them. As Jane toiled in the shadow of Harvard in 1740, the male landowners of Cambridge held a contentious election that saw very high voter turnout amid a diphtheria epidemic. History can show us how diseases disproportionately harm vulnerable and marginalized populations; how discord and strife lead to racial antipathy; and how epidemics are managed and mismanaged. Cicely's and Jane's lives mattered outside of the value they provided to their enslavers. In a time of disease and racial unrest that echoes the experiences of generations past, the lives of oppressed people like Cicely and Jane are worthy of remembrance.

Return to Musicians Playlist
Trombonist Tom Green has been exerting a wholesome influence for the good on the UK jazz scene for some years now. As well as creating employment opportunities for his fellow young jazz artists by pursuing a busy schedule as bandleader and arranger, he's joint boss of the Spark! label whose mission statement is 'to support emerging jazz and creative music artists'.
As Tom has just released his second album for Spark! with his own Septet, Tipping Point, it seemed a perfect opportunity to ask him about his Top Ten favourite albums:
MARIA SCHNEIDER - Concert in the Garden
Composers and arrangers who write for big band always have a soft spot for Maria and with good reason - her music is always inventive and beautiful, and she has been writing for her band for over 20 years. This album is one of my favourites, with standout tracks like Choro Dancado and Buleria, Solea y Rumba. She has an amazing band of course, but I love the way she uses the musicians in her writing, setting her soloists parameters for their solo in terms of how they could shape it, often giving end points in terms of the ensemble instrumentation but leaving the journey up to them. This is something I definitely try and do in my septet compositions on a smaller scale.
JONI MITCHELL - Travelogue
This album brings together three great things - Joni's beautiful songwriting, amazing arrangements by Vince Mendoza and a ridiculously great band including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Kenny Wheeler. It's a testament to Joni's lasting influence that she can call upon these musicians to play her music in a celebration of her career. I've included an arrangement of "My Old Man" from the album Blue on - the harmony in the bridge is amazing and shows her jazz influence.
KENNY WHEELER - Music for Large and Small Ensembles
I studied at the Royal Academy of Music which has a strong connection to Kenny. He is one of the most inventive British jazz composers who managed to integrate elements of free jazz with compositions that are often clinically logical in their construction, but truly beautiful in their execution because of his amazing melody writing. Before he passed away I was lucky enough to play in his big band for a rehearsal which I will never forget.
MARK NIGHTINGALE - Destiny
I went to see Mark play material from this album when I was about 12 and had only just started learning the trombone. It was truly eye opening for me - I'd never heard the trombone played like that before, or such exciting big band arrangements. I think I've probably transcribed most of Mark's solos from this album to learn from them over the years.
KAN - Sleeper
I've started listening to a lot of folk music recently and there are a number of bands really pushing the boundaries of the genre with tunes in odd times, complex arrangements and unusual harmony. This album is a "supergroup" including musicians from Lau and Flook and is one of those feel good discs that always makes me feel better on a rainy day.
URBIE GREEN - Blues and Other Shades of Green
Beautiful trombone playing with a gorgeous sound. Urbie isn't nearly as well known as JJ Johnson, Frank Rosolino, Carl Fontana etc but really deserves to be up there with all of those greats of the instrument. For anyone who hasn't heard Urbie before there's a collection of "Five Classic Albums" that's absolutely worth picking up for any jazz fan.
MARSHALL GILKES - Lost Words
Marshall is a NYC trombone player who is a master of the instrument technically - he can do things that nobody else can on the trombone - but he rarely uses his technique just to show off. His playing is lyrical and warm and he makes the trombone really sing even when pushing the boundaries of the instrument. His compositions on this album for quintet are great as well.
TIGRAN HAMASYAN - Shadow Theater
This album blew me away when I heard it - Tigran has a unique compositional style thanks to his Armenian roots but it is his mastery and use of rhythm and unusual time signatures that really make him stand out. It's not just 5/4 or 7/8 but often much more complex rhythmic structures that underlie some of the tunes - but always with a memorable melody that disguises the complexity. Try to work out the time signature on the track Vardavar which is a "B side" from this album for example - good luck!
PUNCH BROTHERS - The Phosphorescent Blues
I had never really heard of Punch Brothers before going to see them at the 2018 London Jazz Festival and was absolutely blown away. Their arrangements are incredibly detailed and they have a truly unique sound world with a band made up almost entirely of stringed instruments - not a texture you hear often or at all.
PORCUPINE TREE - In Absentia
A more unusual choice to finish with - I grew up listening to a lot of progressive rock alongside jazz and toured with a progressive metal band in my teenage years playing keyboards. I couldn't write a list of influential albums without including one from this time in my life, which I go back to regularly and listen to. It shares a lot of similarities with modern jazz in terms of the extended song forms, harmony and solos. This album combines crunchy guitars with some really beautiful composing.

Home Christian News 'Amen' and 'Awoman': Congressman, Ordained Minister Goes Overboard With Inclusive Prayer
'Amen' and 'Awoman': Congressman, Ordained Minister Goes Overboard With Inclusive Prayer
Jesse T. Jackson
Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), who is an ordained United Methodist pastor, opened the 117 Congress with prayer on Sunday. In closing, Rep. Cleaver turned many heads when he said "Amen and awoman."
This comes a day after newly re-elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced new House rules created to make the Representative body more inclusive, that removes all gender-specific words from certain documents, including "he," "she," "mother," and "son," and replaces them with words like "Representative," "parent," and "child." Speaking about the new rules package that will be voted on on Monday, Pelosi said, "Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people."
Rep. Cleaver ended his prayer in the name of the "monotheistic God," but also included the four-faced Hindu god Brahma, and "god known by many names by many different faiths," then the Methodist pastor closed with "Amen" and "awoman", which likely was an effort to make the prayer more gender inclusive.
However, the word amen is a Hebrew word, used first in the Old Testament, and is not associated with a gender. As pastor and theologian Kevin DeYoung explains, amen means "let it be," "so be it," "verily," or "truly." DeYoung says, "When you finish your prayer with 'Amen' you are saying, 'Yes Lord, let it be so. According to your will, may it be.' It's a final note of confirmation at the end of our prayers."
Rep. Cleaver's prayer is included here:
The Opening Prayer for the 117th Congress
Eternal God, noiselessly we bow before your throne of grace as we leave behind the politically and socially clamorous year of 2020. We gather now in this consequential chamber to inaugurate another chapter in our roller coaster representative government. The members of this august body acknowledge your sacred supremacy and therefore confess that without your favor and forbearance we enter this new year relying dangerously on our own fallible nature. God, at a moment when many believe that the bright light of democracy is beginning to dim, empower us with an extra dose of commitment to its principles. May we of the 117th Congress refuel the lamp of liberty so brimful that generations unborn will witness its undying flame. And may we model community healing, control our tribal tendencies, and quicken our spirit that we may feel thy priestly presence even in moments of heightened disagreement. May we so feel your presence that our service here may not be soiled by any utterances or acts unworthy of this high office. Insert in our spirit a light so bright that we can see ourselves and our politics as we really are, soiled by selfishness, perverted by prejudice and inveigled by ideology. And now the God who created the world and everything in it bless us and keep us. May the Lord make his face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us. May the Lord lift up his light of countenance upon us and give us peace; peace in our families, peace across this land, and dare I ask, oh Lord, peace even in this chamber now and evermore. We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and awoman.
Others politicians reacted to Rep. Cleaver's strange prayer, not missing the opportunity to correct him:
The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with "amen and a-women."
Amen is Latin for "so be it."
It's not a gendered word.
Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives. Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/FvZ0lLMDDr
— Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (@GReschenthaler) January 3, 2021
"Amen" and "Awoman"? Really?
I guess the virtue signaling Democrats didn't check the Herbrew etymology of the word "Amen" to realize it has NOTHING to do with gender.
But don't let facts get in the way of a good virtue signal.
Also, didn't those words just get banned?
— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) January 4, 2021
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) used sarcasm to express his distaste for the prayer:
Amen and Awoman?!?!
Don't they know that gender isn't binary???
What about the other 42 genders??😡 https://t.co/9jVlKWKWWt
— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) January 4, 2021
Before turning to politics, Rep. Cleaver was the pastor of St. James United Methodist Church in Kansas City, Missouri between the years 1972 and 2009. Rep. Cleaver received his D. Min. from St. Paul School of Theology.

Q: Find a function module by its name? Is there any module/function in python that can search functions by context or by name in python modules.
The R equivalent, if findFn from the sos package is very useful, to Search in contributed R packages.
 library(sos)
 findFn('some words defintions')      ## find a package that contain such definition
 findFn('some_function_name')   ## find the some_function_name package

For example:
 findFn('Connect oracle')

will redirect you to a link which suggest to use the ROracle package.

A: U can use 'eval'
FunctioNameAsString = test
FunctionArgumentsAsString = ''

eval('self.'+FunctioNameAsString+'()')

=
self.test()

or
eval('self.__class__.'+FunctioNameAsString+'()')

=
self.__class__.test()

Here is something to center yourself with when the struggles of the day are wreaking havoc. The Mariner's Compass pattern has long been loved. Historically, a mandala represents the universe and wholeness of body and spirit. They are alleged to give you focus when you need it. Here is one to get lost in - and the compass will help you keep your bearings.
This 18.5" quilt in calming colors of gray, rose, teal, and gold has a lot going on. The erratic border, with a busy pattern to match, can represent the daily demands of modern day living. The jagged edges are softened by a simple and peaceful center that draws you in. Caressing curves of hand quilting keep the focus on the center and the four corners gracefully serve as gates to lead you there.
Relax, unwind, meditate. You can hang it easily and wash it if you need to. We all need a compass these days.
Many of us find ourselves spending so many of our waking hours in a sterile office environment. White walls, beige cubes, uniform spaces that lack individuality. Boring....!!! A calendar and a plant can add some interest but wouldn't it be nice to make a statement? Add some POW! to your space, or perhaps something more meditative - something that speaks to you and brightens your day. Your co-workers will thank you too. They are also great gifts for those who bring home the bacon. That's the idea behind my cubicle quilts.
I like working on a petite scale. These little gems fit in even the most confined spaces. The workmanship is fussy and precise - truly as involved as a much larger quilt - but with teeny tiny pieces. I hand quilt to achieve depth and motion in each edition. Every one of them has a handy rod pocket on the back to make installation a snap. Find one that speaks to you in this one- of- a- kind collection.

Q: align ancor in form using twitter bootstrap I am using twitter bootstrap and I have a form with link that should open a popup with inputs.
For some reason the link is not vertically aligned. I would like to know what is the "bootstrap way" to do an anchor in a form. Here is jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3j7QP/4/
Here is the html:
<form class="form-horizontal" id="postForm">
    <fieldset>

            Origin

                open select tooltip

    </fieldset>
</form>

A: As you can see in this jsfiddle demo, you should use the .help-inline class (or .help-block depending on your needs) BUT even with that class you will need to tweak things if you don't put any inputs.

.controls.noinput > .help-inline { line-height: 28px; }

The 28px value may vary depending on your bootstrap variables. It basically equals the control-group height.

I was fired on July 15 2010 in Chicago IL by my manager.
I worked under a bad hostile environment. My manager wrote me up for a no call no show on 2/6/10 she screwed up with the schedule and had nobody working with that doctor that day and she pinned it on me and another coworker and clamied she had made a revised schedule which we never saw and when I asked her why didn't she hand them out like she usually does she said I am not your baby sitter to hold your hand. And in march I was absent for 3 weeks suffering from panic and anxiety attacks with high blood pressure that I acquired because of her. She made me do things like forge temp logs and banyon kit logs because she never kept up with them at work otherwise we would be in big trouble. I couldn't take it and I became an awful person to my family because I felt so bad and sick about my job to much pressure. She constantly reminded me that insubordination was means for termination. So I received my written warning I missed again in June 1st and 2nd for the same reason that I was sick and when I came back to work I was laid with my final warning. after that I tried my best to take my meds and try to deal with the situation but on July 9th I arrived late to my job let me say that this was the first time that I was ever late to work for this employer I overslept because the meds I took for the anxiety just knocked me out. So on July 15 I was discharged stating because I was late. But other employees also on there final warning were always late and they never got discharged as me. She said that they have a 7 min grace period but in reality when I asked her boss its not true. I was given my benefits and was ruled in my favor so after two months of receiving money I got a letter for reconsideration because it was a misconduct and I was ineligible for benefits so I filled an appeal IDES was the one that filled this not the employer what can I do please help.
Why were you allowed benefits?
I worked in collections for a company. Another collector called a former customer I had. The customer said I asked inappropiate questions; like; Are you married ? Said I stalked her. Customer was contacted on Saturday, I was fired on Tuesday. I did not know anything. I was called in to conference, read charges and fired. I was fired 6 months from first contact to customer. The customer called in 5 months later and spoke to me. She used me, to give excuse, why she didn't pay on her loan. She still did not pay on her loan ,as promised,after I was fired. I was so surprised being fired, I called company next day to find out reason of termination. They said misconduct and I could be fired without any reason given in IL. The misconduct charge blocks my unemployment. The new HR person told me that they would not block my unemployment. They did. I worked there for over 3 yrs with one write up, after 3 new Managers and 3 Directors.
Did you appeal to a hearing if your unemployment was blocked? I having a hard time figuring our how the employer actually blocked your unemployment for an uncorroborated customer complaint of stalking without evidence of some kind to convince a hearing officer you were indeed guilty of work related misconduct.
Unquestionably, stalking a customer would be misconduct, but I also know that discharges for just one customer complaint .. are hard to sustain.
i came back from vacation and was told i was terminated from another unhappy custome. theysaid i made an off color remark to which i neve would do that.
I was denied unemployment benifits but i am appealing.
Read any of the many other answers which were specific to being fired for customer complaints.
That is what the search bar is for .. to save me from typing the same questions over and over and to address in general terms .. what I would do, or at least consider, if I were in the same boat.
Do I have to submit my unemployment file to the officer? I tried obtaining my file and was told that I have to wait till my hearing?
You have to submit any documentation you want to put into the record of the hearing, per the instruction provided with your hearing notice.
Contact the department and request the documentation the employer submitted with the reconsideration. At least I would assume there was some submitted.
The employer will have to resubmit it for the hearing in Illinois .. if I remember my IL hearing procedures correctly.
You need to know why and what caused the reversal .. to begin to build a case that rebuts what you did was misconduct.
Now I'm confused. Have you actually had an appeal hearing yet?
I know you said you filed an appeal the the reversal for the reconsideration, but have you had an hearing yet?
If you're still waiting on the first hearing .. you need to prepare for it.
Documentation and or witnesses .. that kind of stuff.


AoC Sport is delighted to announce we have agreed a two-year deal with the University of Nottingham to host our annual National Championships.
The 2017 National Championships took place at the University of Nottingham and surrounding facilities to great success, and a deal has now been put in place for the event to remain there for both 2018 and 2019.
The 2018 Championships which will take place between 20-22 April will mark the 40th anniversary of the event. Students from colleges across the country including Northern Ireland for the first time will represent their regions in 13 different sports, including 7-a-side football, hockey, squash and badminton.
AoC Sport Managing Director, Marcus Kingwell, said: "We are delighted that we will be taking the AoC Sport National Championships back to the University of Nottingham for both 2018 and 2019.
"The University boasts some of the best sports facilities in the country, befitting of the calibre of the Championships, which was acknowledged when Nottingham Conferences picked up the Best Outdoor Space award at the recent inaugural Academic Venue Awards.
The AoC Sport National Championships 2018 will be run in collaboration with Nottingham Conferences – the event delivery arm of the University of Nottingham – as well as Sport Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City Council and tourism agency Experience Nottinghamshire.

Q: DjangoRestFramework & Javascript: Fetch additional data I would like to ask, if it's possible to create a response with related data from a second model? For example:
models.py
class Manufacturer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False, unique=True)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

class Car(models.Model):
    manufacturer = models.ForeignKey(Manufacturer, null=False, blank=False, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

serializers.py
class ManufacturerSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Manufacturer
        exclude = [
            'date_created',
        ]

class CarSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Car
        exclude = [
            'date_created',
        ]

views.py
@api_view(['GET'])
def api_list_manufacturer(request):
    qs = Manufacturer.objects.all()
    serializer = ManufacturerSerializer(qs, many=True)
    return Response(serializer.data)

@api_view(['GET'])
def api_list_card(request):
    qs = Car.objects.all()
    serializer = CarSerializer(qs, many=True)
    return Response(serializer.data)

Right know I'm using the fetch-method to receive the data for the Car...
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.json)
.then(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

...and the data looks like this:
0: {id: 1, name: 'Focus', manufacturer: 1},
1: {id: 2, name: 'F-150', manufacturer: 1},
2: {id: 3, name: 'Model S', manufacturer: 2}

My question:
Is it possible to get - for example - the name of the manufacturer into my response? Something like this?
0: {id: 1, name: 'Focus', manufacturer: 1, manufacturer__name: 'Ford'},
1: {id: 2, name: 'F-150', manufacturer: 1, manufacturer__name: 'Ford'},
2: {id: 3, name: 'Model S', manufacturer: 2, manufacturer__name: 'Tesla'}

Thanks for all your help and have a great sunday!

A: Use SerializerMethodField. This is a read-only field. It gets its value by calling a method on the serializer class it is attached to. It can be used to add any sort of data to the serialized representation of your object
Inside serializers.py add:
from rest_framework.serializers import SerializerMethodField

class CarSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    manufacturer__name = SerializerMethodField(help_text="Name of the Car Manufacturer")

    class Meta:
        model = Car
        fields = [
            'id',
            'name',
            'manufacturer',
            'manufacturer__name',
        ]

    def get_manufacturer__name(self, instance: Car):
        return instance.manufacturer.name

A: Ok,
so I found the solution! Inside my serializers.py I changed the one for the car into this:
class CarSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    manufacturer_name = CharField(source='manufacturer.name')

    class Meta:
        model = Car
        exclude = [
            'date_created',
        ]

Home Business News Eurozone unemployment falls to near five-year low
Eurozone unemployment falls to near five-year low
2 July 2016 12:00 am - 0 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
AFP - Eurozone unemployment fell to a near five-year low in May, official data said yesterday, in a rare positive sign for a sluggish European economy struggling to return to solid growth.
The data covers a period before last week's shock Brexit vote, which economists believe has made the eurozone more unstable and could negatively affect growth and job figures in the medium term.
The Eurostat statistics agency said unemployment in the 19-nation eurozone fell to 10.1 percent in May from 10.2 percent in April.
The rate fell in with analyst forecasts as the eurozone continues a painfully slow recovery after unemployment hit record highs during the worst of the debt crisis.
"Despite May's decline, the euro-zone unemployment rate is still well above the 1999-2007 average of 8.8 percent," said Stephen Brown European Economist at Capital Economics.
Unemployment in the full 28-nation EU was unchanged at 8.6 percent in February, Eurostat said.
One of the lowest jobless rate was in powerhouse Germany, at 4.2 percent, while the highest were in debt-laden Greece at 24.1 percent and Spain with 19.8 percent.
Unemployment in the single currency bloc hit a record high of 12.1 percent during the worst of the debt crisis.
"Given that at least some eurozone firms will probably delay their hiring plans after the fallout of the UK's vote to leave the EU, we still think that the ECB has a lot more work to do," said Brown.
The European Central Bank launched a massive stimulus programme in early 2015 but to little apparent effect and last month added even more unprecedented measures in an effort to get the economy back on track.


MAT Mitchel-King has warned Crewe must operate at full force when the military men of Stevenage visit Gresty Road on Saturday (3pm).
The Alex defender faced Graham Westley's men many times during his non-league days with Histon, and he played in the 1-1 draw at Broadhall Way in September.
The 27-year-old reckons the Railwaymen have what it takes to get all three points – but only if they match the Bedfordshire outfit's regimented approach.
Mitchel-King said: "Stevenage are always very strong, get men behind the ball and work on set-plays.
"They are like a military unit. Everyone knows their jobs and they do it very well.
"That's the football I'm used to. Coming to Crewe it has been different but we need to be able to match them at their game if we want to win things in this league.
"It will be another stern test I assure you because Graham Westley's teams are equipped well.
Versatile Mitchel-King is a centre-half by trade but is currently first-choice right-back.
He says he is happy to play in any position as he bids to earn a stay at Crewe beyond his current deal which expires in the summer.
He added: "I didn't come into the professional game until I was 25 and now I have more than 40 league games under my belt.
"Who knows what will happen in the summer if I can cement a place in the team.

This technique brought you such great props as Bucket Helm, Scary Black Knight Helm (now peeling) and Big Giant Skull Heid (TM). Essentially the same techniques were used for the Nest's little shields that came into use in April 2006: two layers of thick camping-mat with hot glue, papier mache and some sort of paint. Contact adhesive is better than hot glue for large areas though.
Varnish (for those who fear latex). Or you could latex/isoflex like a larp weapon if so inclined.
First off, cut out the shapes you need out of carry mats. This is the hard bit. It will definitely save you money to cut the shapes out of cardboard first to try them on before wasting your carrymat.
The shapes you need are roughly like this.
As long as you are careful when measuring and cutting, this one's easy! Just make sure that you glue the edges exactly, so the whole thing is like a cylinder.
This one requires more experimentation, but here's a rough idea. Cut the width of the mat at the nose edge at a 45 degree angle, so that you can glue it together into a point, not a cylinder. Viewed from the bottom, this helm is a tear shape, with your nose in the point of the tear. You'll need to hold it together while the glue dries, and trim the square edges on the head pieces with a small craft knife to get a proper 'pointy' look.
To paper mache: Mix PVA glue and water half and half in a bowl. Dip or soak your newspaper pieces in the mixture one at once and simply cover all of the carrymat. The first layer is trickiest to get to stick, so paint the carrymat with pure glue first, then contine for at least 4 layers of paper, letting each layer dry in between. The more layers, the stronger the helm.
Decoration: You can add decorations by cutting out bits of cardboard into shapes and then papering only a couple of layers over them. They will be fairly bold though, paper mache is difficult to get detail with. Use your glue gun to make little blobs that will look like rivets.
Painting: (At this stage, you might want to latex the helm, but if not here's the instructions for paper mache). When totally dry, paint your helm black. This is the basis of getting a metallic look. Make sure no newspaper print shows through. Then, get some metallic paint on your paintbrush and - here's the trick - wipe almost all of it off again onto some scrap paper. Very very lightly scribble the paintbrush over the helm so that the texture of the paper and decorations is highlighted. This is called 'drybrushing' - if you've ever painted a minature, you might have used this technique. It looks far far better than painting something with solid metallic paint, and much more realistic. Let it dry, then varnish. Do a few coats of varnish. These helms aren't great in the rain and the more varnish, the stronger and more water resistant your helm will be.


Shropshire's Great Outdoors 2018-28 sets out the strategic direction for the management and development of publically accessible greenspace, Rights of Way and other access in the Unitary Authority area of Shropshire, aiming to inspire action to improve health, prosperity and happiness by cherishing Shropshire's Great Outdoors. The strategy fulfils the statutory requirement of a Rights of Way Improvement Plan but broadens this remit to deliver across multiple policy areas and integrate activity across Local Authority services and partner organisations.
This is a draft strategy, developed in partnership with a range of key organisations and users and informed by data analysis and research.
The public sector has seen significant change since the first Countryside Access Strategy (Rights of Way Improvement Plan) was produced in 2008; in particular, the current economic climate and associated budget pressures, economic growth aspirations aiming to significantly increase the population and business base of Shropshire and the growing need for outdoor recreation for health and wellbeing. This is having an impact on the voluntary sector and there is now even greater need to have a clear, evidence-based, and prioritised plan to target limited resources whilst giving the greatest public benefit. A new approach is needed, delivering across multiple policy areas and integrating activity across Local Authority Services and partner organisations.
We want to ensure that this strategy is going to meet the needs of those people who use the publically owned outdoor assets and the wider population and would welcome your views.
This consultation will be open for 3 months until 31st July 2018. Comments will then be analysed and changes made as necessary. The final draft strategy will be presented to Shropshire Council Cabinet in September before being launched in the autumn.

This week, Chance the Rapper collaborated with Young Thug on a SoundCloud exclusive, and Tyler, the Creator released his fourth studio album, "Flower Boy."
Tyler, the Creator teams up with Frank Ocean on "Where This Flower Blooms," an animated, off-kilter track that traces the growth of his success, from "Rent-A-Center calling everyday" of his youth, to driving expensive cars as a multi-millionaire.
Judging by its stellar singles, Brooklyn indie rock band Grizzly Bear's upcoming album, "Painted Ruins," looks like it could be the group's magnum opus. Their latest release, "Neighbors," finds the voices of singers Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen intertwining with layers of stirring, meandering guitar.
Damian Marley — "Here We Go"
Fresh off a marquee feature on Jay-Z's "4:44" track "Bam," Bob Marley's son Damian has released his fourth studio album, "Stony Hill." The standout track, "Here We Go," features Marley rap-singing over a synth-laden beat that samples reggae singer Lacksley Castell's 1981 song, "Jah Is Watching You."
Avey Tare — "Jackson 5"
Animal Collective frontman Avey Tare brings his penchant for unnerving-yet-brilliant acoustic guitar work to "Jackson 5," a melodic and (relatively) accessible song from his new solo album, "Eucalyptus."
Released Saturday in the wake of Chance the Rapper's cryptic support for SoundCloud, amid the streaming service's recent financial struggles, "Big B's" (a SoundCloud exclusive) features Chance in peak form, and two admissible Young Thug verses.


1 Less Strings Means More Fun!
2 If It Fits, It Sits!
Is your kid holding imaginary rock concerts playing on an air guitar or a stick? Well, maybe it's time you introduce him/her to the real thing! Don't let your kid's young age scare you, it's never too early to learn how to play this instrument. In fact, learning how to play is not the tricky part – it's finding the type of electric guitar most suitable for a child. Once you've found the right model, your kid will start playing chords like a little rock star in no time. With that being said, here's how to choose a kid-friendly mini electric guitar.
Less Strings Means More Fun!
Generally, the greatest difficulty a young learner faces is dealing with the strings. This finger goes here, and that finger goes there, and the rest just clumsily fumble around trying to make sense. But if there are less strings in the way, the child can find it much easier to master the basic chords which are the foundation of learning more complex ones. That's why a 3-string mini electric guitar is considered such a great choice for a young learner. Not only will the child remember the chords much easier, but the reduced number of strings also sound exactly the same as a standard 6-string guitar does. This kind of simplified guitar design helps eliminate the initial anxiety and boost young learners' confidence which is key to continue improving.
If It Fits, It Sits!
Let's face it, little kids are complicated when it comes to their taste. Something as choosing the wrong colour can backfire disastrously and make your child not want to play the guitar. With that being said, it's important to choose a design that appeals to your child's personality. You can also further personalize the guitar by adding stickers of their favourite cartoon characters or musicians.
