Car2go coming to Copenhagen
City dwellers sharing eco-friendly cars should be right up the green capital's alley, but the City Council has no plans to collaborate with Car2go.

If you rather feel like cruising Copenhagen in a car than on a city bike, there is now a cheap and eco-friendly choice in town.
The car sharing company Car2go from the German car manufacturer Daimler launched in Copenhagen on Wednesday and has released 200 small two-person Smart Fortwos in the streets.
You can find your way to a Car2go car anywhere in Copenhagen with an app, that tells you where the nearest car is parked and how to get there.
It costs 3.50 kroner (0.61 USD) a minute to rent the car and 500 kroner (87 USD) for an entire day. Gas, insurance, service and parking is included in the price.
850,000 users worldwide
The cars are already being shared by more than 850,000 people in 26 cities around the world, including Amsterdam, Rome, Berlin in Europe and Miami, Washington DC and Seattle in the US.
Berlingske reports that Car2go has 1,200 users in Denmark and that the company expects to reach more than one million worldwide by the end of 2014.
"Car2go will give Copenhageners freedom to choose the most effective mode of transport no matter time and place," CEO in Germany, Thomas Beerman, told Berlingske.
"Based on our experience, we expect Car2go to help bring down congestion and CO2 levels, and take some pressure off the limited parking spaces in Copenhagen."
No CPH contract
Although energy efficient car sharing should be in line with the aim to make Copenhagen a green capital, the City Council announced on Monday that it will not collaborate with Car2go.
The deputy mayor for technical and environmental affairs, Morten Kabell, would only grant a special license to electric city cars, but Car2go believes that electric cars would not be as easy to share as fuel-driven vehicles.

Copenhagen to miss 2025 zero emissions target
Copenhagen will not reach its longstanding target of becoming CO2 emissions neutral by 2025.

A city councillor told newspaper Jyllands-Posten that the city, which has long stated its aim of becoming the world's first CO2-neutral capital, would not meet that target as scheduled.
"I won't need to stand there in 2025 and say 'hurrah, we're CO2 neutral', because I know that CO2 will still be emitted (then)," elected representative Ninna Hedeager Olsen of the Copenhagen Municipality environment section told Jyllands-Posten.
Tourist board Visit Denmark has previously used the emissions goal to market the city, while Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen named the target during the C40 climate summit when it was hosted by Copenhagen in 2019.
But the municipality has included wind energy produced in other municipalities in its calculations on energy sustainability, according to the newspaper report.
This means it effectively still emits CO2 overall.
The company which supplies energy to the city, Hofor, has erected windmills in a number of municipalities outside of Copenhagen. But the electricity produced by these windmills has been used in calculations of CO2 emissions in both Copenhagen and in the municipalities in which the windmills are actually located.
The replication of the energy production in data for different locations can "rightly" be said to be "cheating the scales", according to Hedeager Olsen.
But that is not the only problem in calculations of the city's emissions, she also admitted.
"There are loads of things that haven't been counted," she said.
The goal to become climate neutral by 2025 was first set by the city in 2012 in a climate plan adopted by the city government.
Copenhagen was the following year awarded the Cities Climate Leadership award for the plan.

Academic support services move online
April 8, 2020 Kevin Shank
Tulsa Community College's (TCC) academic support services –tutors, success coaches, research librarians – are ready to serve students just as they were before the coronavirus pandemic. Now, they are just a click and Zoom away.
While students spent their Spring Break dealing with the challenges and changes at home, academic support teams scrambled to expand services that went online when classes resumed March 30.
A spot check of TCC academic support services indicates technology rollouts and training comprised phase one of this effort. Phase two involves outreach and spreading the word of how to find your favorite tutor or librarian.
The library was well-positioned to go entirely online, said Adam Brennan, Metro librarian, who spoke to the Connection via Zoom.
"We just had to make a couple of tweaks to our existing services, and the reason for that is our library already had a very strong, robust online presence to begin with," he said.
Library staff has updated the website with a massive coronavirus-related section on library access and remote support.
From there, students can schedule research consultations and faculty can contact a liaison librarian for assistance. You can read the answer to a "Question of the Day" or ask one yourself, see a list of how to get emergency Internet access, and more.
Got some time to browse? Click the menu button "COVID-19 Pro Bono Offers" to see a compiled list of vendors, publishers, and software companies offering free teaching and learning resources during the pandemic.
"The response from the educational community in this time of need has been pretty good. And we've certainly tried to create sort of a best of the best highlight," Brennan explained.
While the library cannot check out physical books to patrons during the shutdown, anyone who has a library book can keep it without penalty until further notified.
"So all in all, we're doing okay," said Brennan. "I for one miss being on campus, but we were still able to maintain a strong and robust online presence, and we have a robust chat and email feature available off the main library website. If you click on that red tab that says 'Get Help,' there are many more of us monitoring that chat service now than there were. That's a fantastic way for students to get direct help, if they would like it."
At the Writing Center web page, students can schedule live, face-to-face Zoom meetings with a writing or ESL tutor, or have their paper reviewed via email exchange.
These online services had been offered previously, but the system has been expanded with more tutors participating and with the technology offered via Zoom, according to Sydney Teel, faculty director of the Writing Center.
"We did offer two forms of online tutoring before where students could get the email feedback, and where they could meet live with somebody on Collaborate. … Quite a few students have taken advantage of the email feedback, mostly who were already online students. But we probably weren't advertising that as well as it could have been," Teel said.
The Writing Center trained all tutors in procedures for live or email tutoring and revised scheduling systems accordingly. There remains outreach work to spread the word to students that the labs are online.
Teel advised that in addition to tutors emailing their regular customers, the Writing Center has reached out to faculty and published blurbs in The Daily email newsletter. Plans include putting videos on the web page to show how to connect with a tutor and use the technology.
Teel encouraged students unfamiliar with the technology to have faith and patience. Where there's a will, there's a Zoom.
"Once students try it, they will see it's not that bad at all and it's really easy to connect —like right now, we're on Zoom right? — You can see the person, they see you, you can also pull up the paper right there and talk about it. I think when students try it and they see it helpful, it will be a really good thing for them in the end," Teel said.
Teel explained that anyone having trouble can always call and talk with a tutor by phone and the tutor can walk you through the process. Tutor email and Google Voice numbers are listed on the tutors' appointment page, she said.
TCC student Cole Toering greets Dagny Griffin, writing specialist with the Metro campus Writing Center, during an online tutoring session conducted via Zoom on April 8.
One notable update: World language tutoring schedules have been added to the Writing Center website, so you can go there for help in ASL, Spanish, French and Japanese.
Roberto Maduro, longtime tutor and instructor in foreign language, believes the online platform offers certain advantages for language instruction. For instance, he has used the chat function to insert points of guidance in group sessions while students converse. He foresees users embracing the technology once they become familiar.
"Yeah, this is not too bad," he said. "This may be advantageous in a number of points in the sense of, you know, connection. I'm not going to say intimacy, but more directness. It plays very well for language needs."
A TCC instructor since 2001, Maduro put a philosophical take on the remote learning experience.
"With every little group practice tutoring session, we are kind of conquering this challenge, at least to keep life not only normal, but also be nourished by the challenges that we have. It takes a while to go through this adjustment, not only in the skill of doing it technically on the computer, but also on letting go of the feeling that you have never been using this. You're going to get it," he said.
"We are walking them step by step through the process with the vision that a new way of delivering quality instruction, not just survival instruction, but quality instruction — live, living, breathing instruction — is emerging here," Maduro said.
TRIO director Joseph Schnetzer explained his team has been reaching out to students to let them know they can connect with advisers and tutors via Zoom. TRIO Student Support Services is a federal outreach and support program for first-generation degree seekers or individuals from underserved backgrounds.
In addition to one-on-one sessions, TRIO students are meeting as a group once a week to discuss challenges they face in this difficult time.
Schnetzer stressed that it is critical students know TCC will do everything possible to help them be successful with remote learning.
"For some students, not just in TRIO but even at the college, just the thought of online classes was more than they could handle. They just want to immediately unplug and go, 'Oh, I'm done, withdrawing.' … Those are the ones that we really want to try to reach out to and say, 'Look, you can salvage this.' Each department, the department chairs and the faculty, are really finding ways for those low-tech students to still be successful in their course one way or the other. I believe any student who's trying even just a little bit, they're going to go the distance to help the student cross the finish line. They want everybody to be as successful as can be this semester."
At the time of this report, TRIO still had 10 spots open for qualifying students. You can review criteria and apply on TRIO's webpage.
Success coaches in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion have also been busy reaching out to students who participate in program, many of whom take developmental courses, according to Dr. Dewayne Dickens, director of the Academic Success Coaching program.
Dickens and his team developed a tracking system so they can follow up with students, and help them work through life challenges to keep them learning in the online environment.
They are letting students know they can go to the link on the Success Coaching webpage and schedule sessions via Zoom. If a student lacks a computer, there is always the phone. The connection is the important thing, Dickens explained, recalling how he worked with a student who contemplated dropping out this semester.
"I was giving him a kind of lifeboat to say you can still make it to shore, but you need to get back in the boat. And you need to let me help you by giving you some information, encouraging you and giving you some strategies for what you are going to do next. … He's okay. He's on a list where our peer coordinators will call him every week anyway. So just making sure that he is connected, that he's heard and that he's encouraged. We have to help the students know that they're not alone, basically," Dickens said.

Australia's Top Baby Names 2022
Every year Australia's states and territories release the names of every child born. At McCrindle, we conduct an analysis to look at the top baby names and the trends associated.
The numbers are in, and the analysis is complete, here are the top baby names for 2022.
For the first time in seven years, Australia has a new most popular baby girls' name. Millennial parents of Generation Alpha are still looking to be unique for girls' names, while relying on more traditional names for boys as well as drawing inspiration from colours, places, nature and the Royal Family to choose a name for their baby.
Isla overtakes Charlotte as the top name for the first time in seven years
For the first time since 2015, Australia has a new top baby girl name. Isla, the name given to 1,539 Australian baby girls in 2021, has risen from 4th position to debunk Charlotte from her long-standing number one baby girl name title. Since Generation Alpha began being born, Isla has seen a surge in popularity from 34th position in 2010 to 4th in 2020 and now ranks as the most popular name for baby girls born in 2021.
Oliver has been consistently popular among Generation Alpha baby boys, holding nine years of uninterrupted reign since overtaking Jack as the number one boys' name in 2013. Oliver is also the only name to be given to over 2,000 babies in 2021 (with 2,263 Australian baby boys given this name in 2021).
Names that have debuted for Generation Alpha
While Generation Alpha haven't finished being born yet, there are clear trends when it comes to the most popular baby names for this generation. Of this years' Top 100 list, almost half (47) of the girls' names did not feature on the list back in 2010, compared to a third (33) of boys' names. This shows the trend of more variety in girls' names than boys'.
Some of the most popular names that have debuted in the last decade for girls include Hazel, Florence, Daisy, Frankie, Luna, Ayla, Sadie, Billie, Millie, Aurora and Mila.
Even in these debuted names, we see some of the prominent baby naming trends of colours, nature-inspired names, botanic names, names that end in 'ie' and place names.
Some of the most popular names that have debuted for boys in the last decade include Theodore, Hudson, Arlo, Archer, Harvey, Carter, Arthur, Sonny and Asher.
Names to watch in the coming years
In more recent years, some of the newer Generation Alpha names that have made a debut in the Top 100 include Mila, which debuted in 2019 at a very strong 35th position and has risen to be ranked 19th in 2021. Similarly, the name Sadie debuted in 2019 at 65th and has increased to 56th in 2021.
Other girls' names to watch include Remi (which debuted at 73rd in 2020 and rose to 60th this year), Maeve (which debuted at 86th in 2020 and rose to 70th this year) and Delilah (which debuted at 96th last year and has risen to 71st).
While the emerging boys' names haven't debuted in as strong positions as some of the girls' names have, boys' names that have debuted in more recent years like Arthur, Ari, Ezra, River, Theo, Billy, and Luka have been steadily growing in popularity and are names to watch in the coming years.
Only two names feature in both the girls' and boys' list
The only two names in the Top 100 that appear on both the girls' and boys' list in exactly the same spelling are Charlie (80th for girls and 7th for boys) and Riley (which debuted on the girls' list this year at 86th and is 50th for the boys' list).
Shorter names beat out the longer version
In recent years we have noticed a trend of Australian parents opting for shorter names as first names. For example, Jack (3rd) outranks Jackson (59th) (a 17 point rank decline since last year), Leo (6th) outranks Leonardo (93rd) (a 13 point rank decline in comparison to last year), Archie (13th) outranks Archer (28th) and Eli (52nd) outranks Elias (99th). Even for girls', currently Ella (10th) outranks Isabella (15th) and Isabelle (40th).
The trend of names ending in 'ie' for girls and 'o' for boys
In true Aussie fashion, we are also seeing a trend of shortening names and adding an 'ie' on the end: Rose to Rosie, Savannah to Sadie, Amelia to Millie, Isabella to Billie, Charlotte to Charlie, Elizabeth to Ellie and William to Billy.
In fact, there are sixteen girls' names that end in 'ie' or 'i': Evie, Sophie, Frankie, Ellie, Elsie, Billie, Mackenzie, Sadie, Bonnie, Remi, Millie, Charlie, Hallie, Maggie, Heidi and Rosie – a trend that has been increasing in the last few years. Only eight boys' names end in 'ie' or i': Charlie, Archie, Levi, Kai, Eli, Ari, Bodhi and Ali.
For boys', there is also a trend of names that end with an 'o'. Names like Leo (6th), Arlo (30th), Hugo (31st), Theo (73rd) and Leonardo (93rd) are all names that have been increasing in popularity in recent years.
Botanic and nature-inspired names
Millennial parents continue to use the botanical theme as a sourcing of naming their daughters, and this sentiment has risen for the unique botanical names including Willow (8th), Lilly (13th), Ivy (14th), Violet (28th), Daisy (34th), Poppy (38th), Olive (68th) and Delilah (71st).
A nature-inspired theme that has emerged is using atmosphere-inspired names. Examples of this trend include Luna (37th), Aurora (45th) and Stella (58th) for girls, while other names like Evie (16th), Evelyn (22nd) and Summer (67th) are also examples of nature-inspired names. For boys, names like Kai (40th), River (60th) and Bodhi (70th) are examples of nature-inspired names that feature in the Top 100.

StAnza 2012 international poetry festival opens
Catharina Day
Opening event explores Philip Larkin's relationship with jazz
Stanza, the St Andrews-based international poetry festival, has opened its doors for the fifteenth year, bringing together poetry, art and music leavened with learning, humour and good performances. Having earned a reputation for tight adherence to quality and organisation over the years, the 2012 festival promises to deliver an outstanding programme.
This year's opening ceremony, in which the Stanza poetry archives were formally handed over to the University of St Andrews for safekeeping, featured a programme of words and jazz entitled 'Kind of Larkin', chosen to reflect the taste and observations of Philip Larkin, a lifelong jazz fan and a jazz critic for many years. The Dave Batchelor Quintet delivered a lively and enjoyable selection, playing with panache and a sense of fun. Larkin's thoughts on the development of jazz were read with consummate skill by David Hayman, who imparted nuanced perfection to every enthusiasm and excoriating criticism. Larkin grew increasingly disenchanted with the development of modern jazz, as opposed to the 'hot jazz' of his youth as performed by Duke Ellington and other artists. Larkin's comments are both funny and cutting. He despised the 'sort of insolent egotism' of John Coltrane, and by the 1960s had begun to dislike what he had loved so deeply. His thoughts on modern jazz also extended to modern art, where he complained of an over-mystification and moral outrage stemming from an over-concern with materials.
The opening event was exemplary of how the Stanza programme combines enjoyment and education to make for a consistently successful festival. Although poetry is at the centre of it, other arts are given room to flourish and made available for the public to enjoy. The opening day also included a showing of the film Submarine, based on the poet Joe Dunthorne's first novel, a brilliant evocation of the drama of adolescence and the slightly skewed perspective of that age.
Stanza 2012 runs between 14-18 March
StAnza: Scotland's Poetry Festival

The frame with the scrollbar has three columns.  I can't get the three columns in the frame and above the frame to line up.
I saw and used the following two questions to get this far, but got stuck.
Adding a scrollbar to a group of widgets in Tkinter
Tkinter - Add scrollbar for each LabelFrame
Any help on lining up the columns would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
Here's a picture of the widget without the lined up columns:
Columns don't line up
Here's a MWE:

The two defined functions are in the class, but I couldn't get them to line up.

A: I usually don't solve the problem this way, but you can force alignment by specifying label widths. The problem will come when you dynamically resize the window -- everything is static. But this will solve the specified problem -- alignment.

Just to show how far we've come, here is a 'reboot' of the first aerial 360 panorama we put together – back in the early days of drone photography from 2009! This was a test shoot at Jubilee Business Park in Nottingham to test the drone & camera set-up – and it worked first time, straight out of the box! As far as we know, this is the first aerial 360 panorama captured in the UK at the time. For those interested, this was shot using a Canon Powershot 10 (only 14.7 megapixels!) comprising of a multi-row mosaic of 40+ images stitched together. A very time-consuming job 'back in the day'! Republished here for curiosity.

Do you find yourself avoiding shorts or dresses because you are embarrassed about the appearance of your leg veins? Do you dread summer because of the heat and the feeling that you must wear pants or thick stockings to cover these unsightly vessels? If you answered yes, you are not alone, and we may have a simple and safe solution for you: Sclerotherapy!
Sclerotherapy is a popular and effective method used to eliminate unwanted spider veins. The procedure is noninvasive and involves injecting a solution, called a sclerosing agent, into the veins. This causes an inflammatory response and collapse of the treated vessel and it ultimately gets reabsorbed by your own tissue and fades from view.
The procedure itself can take 15 minutes up to an hour and is relatively painless. Since it involves an injection, you may notice some initial stinging or cramping, but this usually subsides within a couple of minutes. You may also experience some mild bruising or discoloration at the site of the injection but this heals quickly.
Following the procedure, you will need to wear compression hose/stockings in order to maximize the results of the treatment. This constant pressure helps facilitate the breakdown of the vein wall. While normal activities can be resumed immediately following the treatment, we do suggest that you refrain from intense activity involving the lower legs (squats, leg presses, extensive running, etc). Walking is advised and we do suggest 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily. For the first 2 days after the treatment, you should avoid hot baths, saunas, and direct sunlight as well as taking anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen or Aspirin.
Sclerotherapy has an excellent success rate and usually eliminates 50-80% of the treated vessels. Spider veins will usually fade within 6-8 weeks and once gone, they will not reappear. Depending on the extent of the affected area, more than one treatment may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
With sclerotherapy, we can help you feel confident again about the appearance of your legs. To schedule a consultation and learn if you are a good candidate for this noninvasive and effective treatment, call our office at (205)-580-1500.

The light-bright houses of Dyker Heights, may get the tour buses during the holiday season, but there are some other shining standouts worth a trip this year. We visited three mesmerizing houses in Queens and Brooklyn that deck the halls and then some. Each has a unique tradition and backstory, but all have presumably one thing in common - very large electric bills for the month of December.
The hard work -- and the extra expense -- are all worth it to these families, who make sure to cover every inch of their property with twinkling lights, waving Santas, and snowman statues, all for the sake of spreading neighborhood joy.
One trip to either one of these homes and you'll realize something special is happening. Enraptured drivers slow down as they pass, excited kids squeal with delight and adults snap pictures on their smartphones. If your house is the backdrop of a selfie, you know you're doing something right.
Santa certainly won't be able to miss these houses, and neither should you!
This house doesn't just encourage ogling - although there's certainly more than enough to gawk at. It also prides itself on visitor participation. The most interactive house we visited, it includes a hot chocolate and coffee station and free cookies for all. Holiday music plays on a loop, and people are allowed to get close enough to examine the home's intricate window displays.
The spectacle is the passion project of Anthony Gurino, a 71-year-old grandfather, who's in the construction business. The family has been doing it up big for about four years, and they start stringing lights right after Labor Day. His 22-year-old grandson, also named Anthony Gurino, acts as the unofficial family spokesman.
"My grandfather is really carrying on the tradition of my grandmother. She passed away many years ago now," Gurino, a student at nearby St. John's University, explained. "And he likes to give to the community too."
This year, to give a little something extra, the family has enlisted Christmas carolers to come and sing for visitors; they've set up a prominent Toys for Tots donation box; and on the 21st, they'll be throwing a big holiday bash for the neighborhood that will include food, music and family-friendly activities.
"They love it," the younger Gurino said of the reaction from locals. "There's something for everyone to enjoy."
Lights are on from 4pm to midnight until "Little Christmas," January 6.
Kevin Lynch's home in Whitestone is a candy-colored Christmas confection. With approximately half a million LED lights and 100 animatronics, it takes about seven weeks to complete - Lynch does all the decorating himself - and when it's finished, it illuminates the entire block.
There's a tree on the lawn so covered in lights - 4,000 lights, to be exact - that it's taken on the appearance of a giant gumdrop. The newest decorative addition? Santa riding atop a JetBlue airplane - a festive tribute to Lynch's part-time employer.
According to Lynch, little kids especially love the virtual Santa in the window. "They think Santa Claus really lives here," said Lynch, a 56-year-old retired FDNY firefighter and father of three.
If Lynch's house already looks familiar to you, that's because it was featured on ABC's "The Great Christmas Light Fight" last year and won the $50,000 top prize. Yes, it's that good.
"People come by here and it just puts a smile on their face, so if you're in a bad mood just come here," Lynch said.
Just don't ask him his electric bill. He'll only tell you if you're willing to pay it! He does, however, take donations for St. Mary's children's hospital.
Lights are on every evening until "Little Christmas," January 6.
Brooklyn's Democratic Chairman Frank Seddio has Christmas spirit to spare. His Canarsie home-turned-law-office is adorned with a holiday display so massive, it can be seen by plane's flying overhead. The Seddio family carries on a tradition started in 1963 by the home's previous owner, Frank Guarino. Seddio, who bought the house in 1986, used to help Guarino decorate when he was a teen.
The house, which is decorated each year by a team of about 20 family volunteers, boasts Disney-inspired animatronics, a talking Christmas tree that recites a comedy routine, and a new feature this year - a mechanical blimp that runs across the top of the house.
According to Seddio, decorations have been designed and commissioned from 10 different states and at least two different countries.
Opening night took place on Sunday, Dec.7, complete with live animals for the Nativity scene, a choir, and a 2,500-person turn out. Seddio said he estimated the number of people who showed up based on the number of candy canes he handed out that night.
"I love coming up with new ideas," Seddio said. "The animals this year were a new creation." He said the Christmas display is the only thing he doesn't mind bragging about. And once you see it, you'll understand why.
Lights are on from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. until "Little Christmas," January 6.
Dyker Heights, the most festive nabe in NYC?This Brooklyn nabe knows how to sparkle. See photos of the Rockefeller Christmas tree through the yearsThe tradition began in 1931. Where to eat on Christmas and Christmas Eve in New York CityBecause New Yorkers love to eat out, even on the holidays.


This project is very personal to the writer as she shares her testimonies and experiences with God! Her prayer is that it helps others to look beyond Christianity as just a religion and seek an intimate relationship with Christ. For our walk to be successful, we must have a relationship with Christ. It has to be beyond just knowing of Him or obeying Him.We also have to ensure that we maintain our relationship with Him. This project looks at these things.

Today we're getting deep into Pinterest with leading expert Kathryn Moorhouse. Back in 2015 Kathryn founded children's clothing brand Zoey & Logan, whilst marketing and growing the business her love affair with Pinterest began. And in mid-2016 she switched from eCommerce business owner to follow her desire to help other entrepreneurs grow their businesses with Pinterest.
After studying business and marketing and graduating from university, Kathryn was unsure of what she wanted to do. She began caring for children to give herself time to think about it. As she was working with the kids, she noticed a gap in their clothing. She wanted to do crafts and play outside, but their clothing wasn't built for it. Her husband's aunt taught her to sew, and she began making aprons and things that the children could play and get dirty in.
She fell in love with working with fabrics and making clothing for kids, and loved all the ranges she could create even after having never sewn before. Zoey & Logan was born.
Zoey & Logan was to be a baby and children's clothing brand. Kathryn started with beanies and blankets because they were easier to make in the beginning. Many of her friends were having babies at the time, so she had built-in testers for her products as well. She started with the baby range, and fell in love with Pinterest before she got to all of the children's range.
Listen to learn about the pride of having a product that she'd created herself.
Pinterest is a visual search engine. Think of it as the lovechild of Google and Instagram. When Pinterest was created, the idea was to take that pinboard you maybe had in your office where you could pin ideas, recipes, and magazine clippings portraying your ideal lifestyle, and make that pinboard virtual. Pinners could take ideas from anywhere on the internet and pin them to one place where they could see all their ideas gathered.
Since then, it has evolved into a business platform as well. Pinterest has branding designers, lawyers, dentists, and a variety of other industries that market their businesses on Pinterest. The entire backend is like Google, with the same search functionality of Google. Someone may go to Pinterest and search for an idea or a recipe, and Pinterest will use the search and find any pins all across Pinterest with matching keywords to show in the search results. However, the search results are visual.
Listen to learn the type of content that Pinterest does not allow to be marketed there.
Kathryn recommends not going onto Pinterest yet if you don't have content on your website. You need a good level of content, and at least 10 or more pins on Pinterest that lead to your website to get traffic. The key is to have enough content on your website that you can share multiple pins on Pinterest.
Pinterest has a large female base. More men are beginning to come on though, so right now the split is about 60% women to 40% men. If your ideal client is male, that doesn't mean they are not on Pinterest, but there may be fewer of them than women.
To find out if your ideal client is on Pinterest, you can do something as simple as going to Pinterest and searching for your own keywords. If the search returns other content about your topic, chances are it's a good place for you to be.
A deeper way to see if your clients are there is to see what they are interested in outside of your industry. Is your client searching for health-related content that is outside of your industry? If so, search for that and see if there is content relating to that topic. If so, then your audience is there.
Listen to learn why you may want to market on Pinterest even if there aren't a lot of people in your industry already using it.
Make sure that every single pin that leads to your site has the proper keywords in the pin description. After the search, blocks will appear under the search bar with suggestions of other things to search. Those blocks show the most frequently used keywords in relation to that search. So if you search 'baby beanies' and the first block says 'gender neutral,' that means that most of the people on Pinterest who are searching for baby beanies are actively searching for 'gender neutral baby beanies.' Since that is the highest-searched term, you need to make sure, if your baby beanie actually is gender neutral, to include that term in your pin description.
Once you have all your descriptions set, you should be pinning and repinning your content. You must maintain your consistency in pinning. You can pin the same pin multiple times to the same board over the next couple of years, spreading it out by a couple weeks or a couple months between repins.
Listen to learn how to format your pin descriptions.
Kathryn has a three-step process to getting traffic to her pins and therefore, her site.
Step one is to pin other people's content that relates to her content onto her boards to help attract her ideal clients to her profile and to let Pinterest know to place her content in places on Pinterest related to those keywords.
Step two is to pin her content to her Pinterest boards every day.
Step three is to pin her pins to any group boards that she's a member of.
Pinterest is a long-term marketing platform, but if done correctly and consistently, it can become your highest traffic-referrer, and it will continue to snowball.
Listen to hear a more in-depth description of the three-step process, how to use Tailwind to schedule your pins to be pinned, and to learn about collaborative group boards.
Once you are seeing organic growth from your Pinterest strategy, Pinterest ads become worthwhile because the pin is already validated. Pinterest ads look like regular pins, not ads, and the ads expand your reach drastically.
Every business has areas where the owners are wasting time and money and doing things the long way. Streamline it and really focus on the core elements.
Get rid of unnecessary blockages for you and your team, and blockages that are stopping people from buying your product. Profit comes where you focus your time and energy.
If your time and energy is in too many places, you're just going to flounder.

Learn about stories of creativity, resistance and resilience on the GPI's new website!
The George Padmore Institute has launched its new website!
The George Padmore Institute (GPI) is excited to announce the launch of its bright, streamlined website with an exciting array of new features. Our launch date of 2 March 2021 also celebrates the fortieth anniversary of when the UK saw the biggest ever march by black people, with some 20,000 protesting in the Black People's Day of Action.
Visitors to the new website can now discover the history and background of the GPI's archive collections, from the Black Parents Movement to the International Book Fairs. Learn about how the struggles of Caribbean, African and Asian communities in the UK and abroad were championed by organisations such as the Black Parents Movement, and individuals such as the co-founder of the GPI, John La Rose. The archives also celebrate the culture of these same communities and the significant contribution they made to British society. To delve deeper into the documents and materials the GPI conserves, each archive can be researched through a new, easy-to-navigate catalogue.
We are extremely lucky to have paintings by acclaimed Jamaican artist Errol Lloyd on the website. These colourful, vivid images evoke perfectly each of the archive collections and, as a former member of the Caribbean Artists Movement and a long-time friend and supporter of the GPI, it is fitting that his work will now be widely seen by generations to come.
Exclusively for the website, a film has been produced which explores one of the archive collections in a new way. In the fortieth anniversary year of the New Cross Massacre, where thirteen young black people lost their lives in a fire suspected to be an arson attack, we hear personal responses to the tragedy from GPI Trustees Roxy Harris and Linton Kwesi Johnson, who both helped to organise the campaign for justice; academic and photographer Vron Ware who documented the Black People's Day of Action; and playwright Rex Obano and poet Jay Bernard, who have responded creatively to this tragic event. Stay tuned for new films over the coming months, each providing insights on different archive collections housed at the GPI. See the Discover page.
The GPI also has a number of books and DVDs for sale. These can now be easily purchased via the new website using PayPal. Check out the Discover page.
As a charity, the GPI is dependent for its income on grants and donations. Please consider supporting the GPI with a contribution towards its running costs via the Support Us page.
We hope that through our new website you will enjoy discovering everything the GPI has to offer, from information on the archives to watching interesting films on historical and momentous events and purchasing interesting books to read!

Theodor W. Adorno joined the Princeton Radio Research Project in February 1938 and would remain part of it until November 1941. From the corpus of his studies, only three essays were published during his lifetime. However, numerous essays, mostly fragmentary, were reconstructed and recently published in the collection "Current of Music." All the deliberations in this volume revolve around similar questions. Central to Adorno's aesthetic investigation was, among other issues, to uncover what music as a work of art loses once it is being broadcasted. In order to comprehend Adorno's concerns regarding music's dissemination—both concerning the music itself and the social ramifications—I will in the following article trace Adorno's analysis of broadcasted symphonies as he presented it in various essays from 1938 to 1941. Two questions will be at the center of this treatise: 1. To what extent does the mechanical/electronic reproduction of symphonic pieces engender the withering of their aura? 2. What are the social ramifications if said spell is lost? In order to approach these questions, it will be necessary to make a slight detour via Walter Benjamin's essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducability," so as to understand to what extent Adorno challenges and partially redefines Benjamin's thesis.

Q: How prove this $xyzw>0$ let $x,y,z,w\neq 0$ are real numbers,and such
$$x+y+z+w=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{y}+\dfrac{1}{z}+\dfrac{1}{w}=0$$
show that
$$xyzw>0$$
My idea: let $$x+y+z+w=p=0,xy+xz+xw+yz+yw+zw=q,xyz+xyw+yzw+xzw=r=0,xyzw=s$$
so
$$r=xy(z+w)+zw(y+x)=xy(-x-y)+zw(x+y)=(x+y)(zw-xy)=0$$
so
$$x+y=0(or) zw=xy$$
Hello,@bof and @   Daniel Fischer , How get a contradiction.?

A: If $x+y\neq0$, note that $zw=\frac{z+w}{\frac{1}{z}+\frac{1}{w}}=\frac{-(x+y)}{-(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y})}=xy$.
If $x+y=0$, then $z+w=0$ and $xyzw>0$ obviously.

A: Assume for a contradiction that $xyzw\lt0$. This means that an odd number, $1$ or $3$, of the variables are negative. Without loss of generality (because we can replace each variable by its negative), we may assume that just one variable, say $w$, is negative. So $x,y,z$ are positive numbers. Note that
$$\frac1{x+y+z}=-\frac1w=\frac1x+\frac1y+\frac1z.$$
But $x,y,z$ are positive, so
$$\frac1{x+y+z}\lt\frac1x\lt\frac1x+\frac1y+\frac1z.$$
This contradiction completes the proof.

A: In your terminology with $p=0, q, r=0, s$, we have $x, y, z, w$ as the real roots of the quartic
$$t^4+qt^2+s=0$$
Thus we note that if $a$ is a root, so is $-a$.  Hence the four roots must be of form $a, -a, b, -b$, and which gives $xyzw > 0$.

A: We have $y+z=-(w+x)$
and $\dfrac1y+\dfrac1z+\dfrac1w+\dfrac1x=\dfrac{y+z}{yz}+\dfrac{w+x}{wx}=(w+x)\left(\dfrac1{wx}-\dfrac1{yz}\right)$
$=\dfrac{(w+x)(yz-wx)}{wxyz}$
$\implies\dfrac{(w+x)(yz-wx)}{wxyz}=0$
So, if the numerator is zero, $\dfrac1y+\dfrac1z+\dfrac1w+\dfrac1x=0;$
Case $\#1:$
If $w+x=0\iff w=-x,y+z=0\iff y=-z$
$\implies wxyz=(xz)^2>0$
Case $\#2:$
If $yz-wx=0\implies wxyz=(wx)^2>0$

A: Suppose the equation about $a$ : $(a - \frac{1}{x})(a - \frac{1}{y})(a - \frac{1}{z})(a - \frac{1}{w}) = 0$. If you get rid of the brackets you get something like this : $a^4 + Ma^2 + N = 0$. If you solve it about $a^2$ you should get 2 solutions $r_1, r_2 > 0$ (because the equation about $a$ should have 4 roots). Now observe that $0 < r_1r_2 = \frac{1}{xyzw}$.


Boring, nauseating and interminably long car rides seem to be a rite of childhood. I remember instigating with my little sisters because I felt bored in the car. Apologies!
Today, it's a different world and enter the saviour that is the smart phone/tablet and its precursor, the portable DVD player. I can safely assume there are less bruised shoulders ("punch-buggy blue!") and arguments because of these marvels of technology. It's also nice to have non-electronic alternatives, so if the content or battery runs out or you want to limit screen time, here are a few EZPZ alternatives.
1. Character performance. This is similar to Jimmy Fallon's "Wheel of Musical Impressions." The first person picks a song, the second person picks a character, and the third person has to sing the song as that character. So for instance, Darth Vader does Row, Row, Row Your Boat or Mister Rogers sings Boom Boom Pow.
2. Audio book. This is a nice option because audio books allow you to use your imagination while following the story.
3. Guessing game. When is it your turn your think of an object and tell the others the first letter of the object. Now people take turns asking you one question at a time about the object until someone can correctly guess what you chose. You can make it harder or easier by limiting the types of questions people can ask. Like only allowing questions that can be answered with a Yes or No.
Good luck on your next road trip and here's a video for the road.

Q: Drivers for MSI Z77MA-G45 I just purchased this motherboard (along with a core i5-3570 CPU).  The guy in the shop says it will work fine with Linux, and a search on the web shows that some people are indeed using it, but the MSI website only has drives for Windows.
Any idea where I might get the Linux drivers?

A: It just works.  Any drivers that were required must have been bundled in the Ubuntu install.  (I used v 12.04).

            adapter.SelectCommand = command
            data = command.ExecuteReader
            Dim i As Integer = command.ExecuteNonQuery()
            If (i > 0) Then
                MessageBox.Show("Success!")
            Else
                MessageBox.Show("Failed!")
            End If
            data.Close()
            conn.Close()

        Else
            MsgBox("Passwords must match!")
        End If

It should show a message box saying "Success!" if it worked and "Failed!" if not. I'm getting an error --> 'There is already an open DataReader associated with this Connection which must be closed first.'

A: That's not the correct way to execute an UPDATE query.
You don't need to call any ExecuteReader and you don't need any MySqlDataAdapter. Of course leaving the reader open triggers your actual error because the connection cannot execute any other command until it is freed from serving the reader.
But you have also three big problems in your code not immediately evident.
You should always execute parameterized queries and never create sql commands concatenating strings from the user input. (Search about Sql Injection).
You should always enclose your MySqlConnection in a using statement block to correctly dispose it.
Using conn as MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection("server=localhost; user id=root; password=; database=testing")
    Dim username As Boolean = True
    conn.Open()
    Dim sqlquery As String = "UPDATE user SET password=@pass WHERE id=@id"
    Dim command As New MySqlCommand
    command.CommandText = sqlquery
    command.Connection = conn
    command.Parameters.Add("@pass", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
    command.Parameters.Add("@id", MySqlDbType.Int32).Value = frmLogin.CurrentUserID
    Dim i As Integer = command.ExecuteNonQuery()
    If (i > 0) Then
        MessageBox.Show("Success!")
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("Failed!")
    End If
End Using

There is another problem but this is more complex to solve. Storing passwords in clear text inside a database is considered a very high security risk. You should learn how to Hash and Salt passwords before storing them in the database
