DOYLE RETURNS POST SURGERY TO FIGHT SIMOES
Added to Carnival City's EFC 71 main card taking place on Saturday 23
Johannesburg, South Africa – Former bantamweight title contender and fan favorite, Cedric Doyle (8-4) is set to make his return to the EFC Hexagon for the first time in over two years since undergoing brain surgery. 'The Dominator' is set to take-on Angola's Nerick Simoes (2-1) on the main card at EFC 71.
Doyle was hospitilised after his interim title fight against Irshaad Sayed EFC 48. Having undergone surgery and spending every waking hour for the last two years working towards his return, the time has finally come.
"No one has ever done this in the past," stated Doyle upon signing for the fight. "And no one will ever do this again."
Doyle, one of the most dangerous athletes on the EFC roster has fought for the title twice, once against Demarte Pena and once against Irshaad Sayed. Besides Pena vs Sayed, Doyle has been the closest to defeating either man; nearly knocking-out Pena and almost submitting Sayed.
Doyle, who runs his own gym (Dominator's Den in Secunda), returns to a new era in the bantamweight division, but its one he is determined to continue making his mark and leaving a legacy in.
He now faces the threat of a new generation, and his first challenge is in his adversary, Demarte Pena's friend and countryman, Nerick Simoes. Formally a featherweight, the young Angolan is making his debut at the lighter division. This will be his first appearance on the main card.
Simoes, who is based in Pretoria at Team CIT alongside athletes such as Marino Cutendana, Dricus Du Plessis and Danella Eliasov; has a team who know what it means to fight against the upper rungs of a division, but that does not remove any of the pressure. At EFC 46 his teammate, Gareth Buirski, lost a close decision to Doyle and the task is now on him to even the score.
This exciting bout takes place at the main card just ahead of the heavyweight super title fight between Andrew van Zyl and Champion Dalcha and the flyweight championship between Nkazimulo Zulu vs Bokang Masunyane.
EFC 71 Van Zyl vs Dalcha, Zulu vs BK is presented by Betxchange.com and takes place on Saturday 23 June live from Carnival City, Johannesburg. Tickets are on sale soon at computicket.com, and the 5 main card bouts will be broadcast live on Kwesé Free Sports 1 (Kenya & Rwanda), Kwese TV (Sub-Saharan Africa) and live in South Africa on SABC 3 starting at 21:30 (CAT). Full broadcast details available on efcworldwide.com. Prelim fights will be available for free on the official EFC Facebook page.

Details of alleged sexual assaults by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, comedian Bill Cosby and other famous figures are now widely known in part because several accusers did something they promised in writing never to do: They talked publicly about their allegations.
When those women spoke out, they broke nondisclosure agreements — contractual pledges not to discuss what happened that are common features of financial settlements. In doing so, they helped start a national discussion about sexual misconduct and showed that the agreements do not necessarily offer the same ironclad protection that for decades has shielded the rich and powerful.
Zelda Perkins, a former Weinstein assistant, was among the first of his accusers to break a commitment to stay quiet — one she kept for nearly 20 years, until an October interview with the Financial Times. She said she's speaking now about how Weinstein sexually harassed her "on every occasion I was alone with him" and about her 1998 settlement to spark debate "about how egregious these agreements are."

Swan Glides Into Europe with £1.8 Million Belfast Base
Swan Labs Inc - a premier US provider of network technology solutions – has set up its European centre of operations in Belfast as part of a £1.8 million investment supported by Invest Northern Ireland.
Swan Labs Inc. intends to generate at least 40 highly skilled jobs by 2007 with the creation of a subsidiary – Swan Labs Ltd – which will focus on the design, development, and implementation of solutions aimed at making business applications, including email, Oracle and Siebel work more efficiently.
Invest NI is supporting the investment with an offer of almost £500,000, which incorporates a £250,000 product development grant offered under the Invest NI Compete programme.
"The Swan Labs investment highlights the growing level of international confidence in the local economy and its high-growth ICT sector," says Invest NI Chief Executive, Leslie Morrison.
"Northern Ireland is fast becoming a premier location for international businesses such as Swan Labs, which are seeking a highly skilled workforce, a first-class support infrastructure and easy access to international markets."
"I am confident that this investment will facilitate the successful entry of Swan Labs Ltd and the Swan product portfolio into the key European, Middle East and African markets. It will be very good for the Northern Ireland economy," he adds.
The company has established a full-service product development, engineering support and international sales and marketing function, and has plans to bolster development, quality assurance, testing and direct sales within the next six months.
Kevin Donaghy, Chief Executive Officer, Swan Labs Ltd comments: "The high calibre of software engineers in Northern Ireland will allow us to rapidly develop key software products that will enable customers to shape their applications and optimise network performance."
"Support provided by Invest NI combined with the easy access to Europe provided by the Belfast location, were key factors in our decision to locate in Northern Ireland. "
Swan's work in Northern Ireland will concentrate on the development of an appliance-based solution that delivers Local Area Network (LAN) application performance over the Wide Area Network (WAN). A LAN is a computer link that spans a relatively small area, ie. a single building or group of buildings. When a number of LANs are joined, they form a wide area network. Swan's product will be unique in that it will be designed to work seamlessly across all WANs.

We have spent the last 8 months rethinking our reason for being and our whole identify. We started the company 3 ½ years ago to solve a problem in how to better use social to engage with buyers to drive lead generation and business opportunities, but 8 months ago we realized that that social wasn't an underlying problem and that our expertise was in leveraging social markets as a model for understanding buyer behavior. Our evolution has taken us to realize that our core competency has always been in modeling buyer adoption process – in understanding how complex business buyers enter markets to solve particular problems; how they research, how they collaborate, how they negotiate consensus, how they make decisions, and how they rationalize the buying process.
The last few months we have proven the model in how to break through the adoption wall and reach buyers earlier in the market, even before they realize what problem that they really have, let alone what solution they need. We now feel comfortable that we can facilitate buyer adoption at a market level to drive lead generation tangibly. Even more so, we see the path to building a sustainable competitive advantage for businesses by anchoring adoption as the foundation for market engagement. Long, hard twisty path to figure out our expertise in adoption, but one that we believe is sufficiently capable of now changing the game for the right partner.
Define buyer market adoption strategy and validate with live buyer information in market.
Incubate pilot in marketing to validate effect by juicing lead generation from adoption rather than solution evangelism to prove its effectiveness on a smaller scale.
Develop business roadmap to internally align organization to build staged execution plan for long-term shift towards building adoption as foundation for market engagement versus solution evangelism.


Former Hibernian and Dundee manager Jim Duffy has been confirmed as the man to replace Michael O'Neill in charge of Second Division outfit Brechin City.
Brechin chairman Ken Ferguson said: "Jim brings a wealth of experience from both his playing days and, of course, an illustrious managerial career.
"We were quite amazed at the high quality of the applicants."
Duffy was director of football with Hearts in 2006 and had coaching spells with Chelsea, Portsmouth and Norwich.
He also turned down offers to manager Bohemians and Cambridge United in recent years.
O'Neill left his post at Glebe Park in December to take on the managerial job at Shamrock Rovers.


Many new WordPress users worry that choosing to use a self-hosted WordPress website will cost them too much money when compared to the free wordpress.com version. I understand the concern. Reliable hosting sounds like an expensive thing.
If you're looking to start a new self-hosted WordPress site, you can find shared hosting plans that are more than powerful enough for your site for surprisingly little money.
Don't believe me? I'm going to prove it!
In this post, I'll show you four quality, cheap WordPress hosting companies that will host your WordPress site for less than $5 per month. Yup, for less than a dine-in meal in many countries, you can host your site for a whole month.
Bluehost offers optimized WordPress hosting at a very affordable price & it's one of the cheapest hosting plans available when you buy their 36-month package. They're an official recommended host from wordpress.org.
50 GB of storage (more than enough for most new sites).
Make sure you use our Bluehost discount to ensure you pay less than $5 per month!
Like Bluehost, SiteGround is another official wordpress.org recommended host.
It offers managed WordPress hosting for less than $5 per month. None of the other hosts on this list can compete with that!
That means SiteGround will handle things like updates, security, backups, and performance without you needing to lift a finger.
SSD storage for better performance.
Basic caching for faster page load speeds.
Free SSL certificate and CloudFlare CDN.
Make sure you use our SiteGround discount to get the best deal!
While SiteGround is great for beginners, once your site starts getting lots of traffic, you may need to consider a SiteGround alternative.
InMotion Hosting is the only host on this list who isn't an official wordpress.org recommended host.
But that doesn't mean they're not great.
InMotion Hosting offers some unique features which make them perfect for beginners.
First off, all of their plans come with their proprietary BoldGrid website builder system. This tool not only helps you install WordPress, but also configure it, and get your site looking exactly like you want it with a simple drag and drop builder.
And like SiteGround, all of InMotion Hosting's plans have free SSD storage, which means up to 200% better performance.
Host 2-6 websites depending on your plan.
InMotion Hosting currently offers two plans under the $5 per month limit. If you're just hosting one or two websites, you can go with their $3.49 per month "Launch" plan.
Otherwise, you can host up to six websites with their $4.49 per month "Power" plan.
Which Cheap WordPress hosting Should You Pick?
I feel confident in recommending any of the hosts above to new users looking to launch their site for the least amount of money. But there are some scenarios in which you might want to pick one host over another.
For example, if you like the idea of having updates, backups, and security managed by your hosting company, then you should give SiteGround a try, as it's the only budget host that offers those perks.
And if neither of those things are very important to you, you can go with Bluehost depending on your preferences.
I hope this post proved that you don't have to spend a fortune to get good WordPress hosting. Now get out there and start your site!
Let me know: Which host are you using to host your WordPress site? Share your experiences in the comments below. If you want to suggest any other reliable cheap WordPress hosting, let me know in the comment section below.
1.4 Which Cheap WordPress hosting Should You Pick?
I think bluehost is better from rest of the others. I hear about bluehost all the time and heard that they have better support. Thanks for letting us know.
It's always good to know the latest that's being offered out there, as the technology and volume of online traffic continues to expand and change…..

Q: Node.js won't recognise npm module even though it is installed? First of all,I am running everything on Windows. What happens is: When I type in terminal:
'node app.js' to run my script, an error occurs , it says it won;'t find the openlayers module.HOWEVER:
That according to my knowledge it means that it will not find the openlayers module that I require in my app.js file like this:
var OpenLayers = require('openlayers').OpenLayers;

Although I have installed openlayers module both locally and globally still it will pop up the error.
Also, I have set the NODE_PATH in system variable to the folder that contains the archives of the modules!
Guys and girls, what could be wrong, I am running out of options? Could it be the module itself? All other modules are recognised according to plan. When I go
npm list -g

all the modules are installed according to plan!
EDIT 1: I have set the NODE_PATH variable to %AppData%\npm\node_modules but still it won't work! The folder 'app.js' is in and I run the 'node app.js' command in  has no m\'modules' file. This local file exists one folder back.
EDIT 2: Here's a screenshot of my error : http://prntscr.com/4zfiyn

Q: Fourier transform of cos(x) I've been stuck at an exercise that wants us to find the Fourier transform for
f(x) = cos(x).
The solution being
this
Using this formula
I don't know how you go from an integral of sines and cosines to a Dirac delta function, please help.

A: Use the fact that $\cos(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^{ix}+e^{-ix})$, and that the Dirac delta function is the Fourier transform of unity:
$$\delta(x)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{ikx}dk$$
From here hopefully things will be pretty straightforward.

The iconic fashion boots UGG are famously Australian.
Or so consumers were falsely told by Ozwear Connection, a wholesaler of footwear and accessories in Australia.
And then there's the question of exactly what is an "ugg" boot.
Deckers have taken what was, originally, shabby-chic product and, through associations with far better known brands, risen to be a fashion statement. It's opened UGG branded shops all over the world. But not in Australia.
While Deckers have trademarked the brand UGG in many countries, in Australia they have a problem: ugg boots have been around a long time and they are not made by Deckers. In fact, there seems to be almost no controls over who can make Australian uggs. The only thing is that, if they say or imply that they are made in Australia, they really should be made in Australia.
The Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACC) has ordered Ozwear Connection to pay a penalty of AUD25,500 for giving the false impression that their "Classic Ugg" boots were made in Australia. According to the ACC " Between at least January and April 2018, Ozwear claimed on its website it is "100% Aussie owned" and that its "Classic Ugg" range were made using "the best materials available in Australia". Prior to May 2018, Ozwear also attached a tag that was green and gold, shaped like a map of Australia and included the words "this exclusive premium label is uniquely Australian owned brand for authentic Australian Ugg boots"."
They were made in China.
"Country of origin representations can be a powerful marketing tool for businesses, as many consumers are willing to pay extra for Australian made products," said ACCC Deputy Chairman Mick Keogh, going on to say "When false or misleading representations are made about a product being Australian made, consumers may end up paying more for no reason at all and businesses who are genuinely making their products in Australia lose out."
And in Australia, Ozwear's UGG is big business. See https://ozwearuggs.com.au. Its boots are the UGGs that, until the big brand push by Deckers are what people think of when the name UGG is used. They are not the world's prettiest boots by a long, long way. Form follows function, not the other way around. The website says "As one of the popular ugg brands, we have access to the best design and materials. We source locally and worldwide."
Note that it says "ugg." That's because ugg has become a generic term. Ozwear admits that it's only one brand of ugg. Indeed, their trademark appears to relate to their logo rather than to the word UGG.
No one is questioning the quality of the made-in-China Uggs, only that, while the brand may be Australian, the manufacturing is not. Interestingly, also, the ACCC did not comment on the source of the materials and it may be the case that the sheepskin is, indeed, produced in Australia and shipped to China for manufacturing only.
Perhaps someone from Ozwear would like to tell us that.

Funny how characters evolve from their original conception. When I started my new novel BLEEDERS, the serial-killer villain, Gene Lassiter, was modeled on real-life Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff. Lassiter was originally an older man, and running a sham wealth management firm was just an elaborate cover for his blood lust. Well, the cover business survived in all the drafts, but the particulars of financial malfeasance took a backseat to the details of psycho-sexual murder.

Q: What's the rationale to have option to use power of 1000 instead of 1024 in df? I'm curious about df -H and df -h, then man df tells me:
   -h, --human-readable
          print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

   -H, --si
          likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024

So what is the rationale behind the use of powers of 1000?
Maybe a side question (or even related):
root@host:~# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

Is K block 1024 or 1000?

A: I speculate that this is due to storage manufacturers using the SI decimal prefixes near-universally.
Further on in the manpage (assuming GNU df):
   SIZE  is  an  integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024).
   Units are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ...  (pow‐
   ers of 1000).

So 1K is 1024.
In another GNU tool, dd, this bug discussion provides some insight:

I recall considering this when I added this kind of diagnostic to GNU dd back in 2004, and going with powers-of-1000 abbreviations because secondary storage devices are normally measured that way. For this reason, I expect many users will prefer powers-of-1000 here. This is particularly true for transfer rates: it's rare to see "GiB/s" in real-world prose.

The commit which added this feature to df in 1997 only says what, and not why.

A: If you go back 15-20 years the power-of-2 math was sensible, as it did match up with the storage blocks as mentioned in other answers. Then we encounter the inertia factor where 'we always did it that way' kicks in. And the small difference between ^2 and ^10 never added up to much. Software providers used ^2 for convenience (and inertia), drive manufacturers used ^10 because it produced a bigger number on the box.
As drives reached capacities of hundreds of gigabytes and then multi-terabytes the difference became rather substantial and thus noticeable to the average consumer. 30+Gb difference couldn't be passed off as "operating system overhead". The few lines of code in the programming eliminated a lot of calls to the support desk. Yes, df isn't used by the average Mac user on a daily basis but it (or it's functions/libraries/codebase) will be used by higher level UI program.

A: If a particular storage medium uses allocation units of e.g. 1024 bytes, knowing that a file took 260K on disk would imply that it took 260 storage units.  If instead the space were reported as 260k, it would be unclear whether that meant 253 storage units (259,072, rounded up to 260) or 254 storage units (260,096 bytes).  The avoidance of such ambiguity was a good argument in favor of using power-of-two units.
Since hard drive manufacturers started using decimal rather than binary prefixes, however, and since the size of individual storage units is an increasingly-trivial portion of a drive's capacity, binary prefixes no longer have the same advantage as they used to.

Roser Sets NEAC Career Scoring Record In 77-49 Win
Wells (13-7 (8-3)) 47 30 77
Wilson (2-12 (1-9)) 26 23 49
Reb: TEAM - 11
Ast: Holli Erkson - 3
Pts: Vanessa Whitfield - 28
Reb: Morgan Wonders - 12
Ast: Vanessa Whitfield - 3
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Senior Ashley Roser (Taberg, N.Y.) set the North Eastern Athletic Conference career scoring record as the Wells College women's basketball team posted a 77-49 victory over the Phoenix of Wilson College on Saturday. As a team, the Express also set a program record with their fifth-straight victory, improving to 13-7 overall and to 8-3 within league play. Wilson (2-12, 1-9 NEAC) drops their 12th game of the season.
Roser, who scored 17 points against Wilson, has now scored more career points than any player in league history. She eclipses the previous career scoring record set by Colleen Clarke of Cazenovia College. Clarke, a four-year member of the Wildcats, scored 1,910 points in 104 career games from 2006 to 2010. Roser now boasts 1,920 career points across 91 career games with the Express.
Falling one rebound short of a double-double versus the Phoenix, Roser currently boasts 76 career double-doubles and ranks fourth all-time in NCAA Division III history in that category. The current active national leader for double-doubles in her division, Roser also has 57 double-doubles in her career against NEAC opponents.
A four-year captain who made her Wells debut in 2010 during the first year of modern era basketball in Aurora, Roser was selected as the 2012-13 NEAC Player of the Year following a stellar junior campaign where she led the nation in rebounds per game (16.7). She remains one of only two players (Juan Paulino, men's basketball) to have earned a national statistical championship.
Entering this week's slate of games, Roser stands as the active NCAA Division III leader in points scored, scoring average, rebounding, field goals made, and free throw attempts. She ranks second in free throws made and field goal attempts in addition to a third place ranking in rebounding average.
Roser's 17 points and nine rebounds led the team in both categories. Freshman Taylor Spranger (Schenevus, N.Y.) ranked second on the team in scoring, pouring home nine points and six rebounds in the winning effort. Junior Cassie Smythe (Eden, N.Y.) set a career-high mark with six steals in the game, leading the team. Sophomore Holli Erkson (Cooperstown, N.Y.) also had a strong game, posting eight points and seven rebounds alongside a team-best three assists. In total, 13 different players saw action in the game for the Express.
Wilson possessed a four point lead with 8:26 left in the first half, using four-straight points by Vanessa Whitfield for their game-high lead. With the game tied at 23 aside with 5:24 remaining in the tilt, however, Wells utilized a jump shot by senior Kristen Ryan (Syracuse, N.Y.) and a three-point basket by Smythe to take a five point lead (28-23) with 4:01 remaining in the half.
The Express were able to keep the host Phoenix at bay throughout the remainder of the first half, outscoring their opponent by a 24-to-3 margin in the first half's final 5:24. In the second half alone, Wells outscored Wilson by a 30-to-23 spread and eventually built up a game-high lead of 77-43 (34 points ) after a jumper by Spranger with 4:09 remaining in regulation time.
Wilson was led by Whitfield's 28 total points, six blocks, four steals and three assists. Morgan Wonders added a team-best 12 rebounds for the Phoenix while Teniera Prioleau scored nine points and added eight rebounds for Wilson. Cumulatively, the Express posted 29 points off of Wilson turnovers and the Express bench outscored the host Phoenix by a 33-to-0 margin.
Wells returns to action this Friday, Feb. 14 as they face-off against the Nittany Lions of Penn St.-Berks in an 8:00 p.m. road contest.

Peter 'of London' Plaskett
November 4, 2012 October 5, 2020 Stephen Robert KutaLeave a comment
1794 – before 1837
5th Great Grand Uncle
Peter Plaskett was born about 1778, in Hampshire, England, he was one of two known children of Henry and Mary Plaskett. The family were religiously strict and were part of the Salisbury Methodist circuit in Wiltshire, England.
A biographical sketch about his mother 'Mary Plaskett', was Written and Published in 1833 By James Dredge, and an idea of family life can be easily imagined within its pages.
Peter was named after his grandfather, Peter Bower who was a well-known clockmaker in Redlynch, Wiltshire, Peter Plaskett probably spent a lot of time with his Grandfather because on the 5 August 1794, he was recorded as being an Apprentice in Downton, Wiltshire, where his Grandfather lived at that time and where his family hailed from. The apprenticeship was taken with David Bucklee of St Luke, Old Street, London.
Peter's grandfather died in June 1795 and around this time he moved to London where he traded as a watchmaker, it's very likely that he continued working with David Bucklee of St Lukes because in 1805 his nephew John Plaskett was recorded as being born here.
I have searched for more information about Peter over the years, but he disappears from the records after 1805.

A Short Biography of Mrs Mary Plaskett – written and published in 1833
October 29, 2012 October 5, 2020 Stephen Robert Kuta1 Comment
A short Biography of MRS. MARY PLASKETT.
Written and Published in 1833
By James Dredge
(Taken from the Book – The Biographical Record or Sketches of the Lives, Experience, and Happy Deaths of Members of The Wesleyan Society – In The Salisbury Circuit)
Mrs Mary Plaskett (nee: Bower) is my 6th x grt grandmother… she was the daughter of a Wiltshire Clock Maker 'Peter Bower'. Her descendants were prominent London Clock, Watch and Chronometer Makers.
Mrs Mary Plaskett
"But it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light." Jehovah.
Mrs. Mary Plaskett was born in the parish of Downton, August 12th, 1739. Her father's name was Peter Bower; he was by trade a clockmaker, and resided at Redlinch. There is good reason to believe, that, amidst abounding iniquity, he was, in some measure, careful of the morals of his children; at least, more so than was usual in those days. Being of the Established Church himself, he brought up his family in a regular observance of her forms, and in diligent attendance on her services, which, without doubt, laid the foundation of that undeviating morality which characterised his daughter Mary from the days of her childhood, to the time of her conversion to God.
Some time in the year 1762, or 63, she entered into the marriage-state with Reuben Plaskett, a plain, honest, labouring man, with whom she lived comfortably about the space of twenty years; when he was unexpectedly hurried away from her, by that scourge of mankind, the small-pox, which, at that time, was making sad havoc in the neighbourhood.
Being now a widow, and destitute, Mrs. Plaskett removed to her son's residence at Gosport, where she remained about twelve months; but, not being quite so comfortable as she had expected, she returned again to her native town, though without a place where to lay her head. But He who hath promised to be the Husband of the widow, raised her up a friend when she most needed one: So true is that saying, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." Thus it proved in the case of Mrs. Plaskett. William Musselwhite, an old neighbour of hers, and an acquaintance of her father, gave her a kind invitation to make his house her home, and partake of what his humble board afforded until she should hear of some other habitation.
During the period of Mrs. Plaskett's residence at Gosport, her next-door neighbour at Downton, Mrs. Bishop, had also become a widow; who, hearing of her old friend's destitute condition, sent for Mrs. Plaskett to live with her, as her companion.
Soon after, through the influence of Mrs. Eyre of New House, a vacancy in an alms-house in Salisbury was offered her; but the thought of leaving her kind friend, Mrs. Bishop, was more than she could endure. The late Rev. Mr. Lear, long the Vicar of the extensive parish of Downton, and a truly pious and evangelical Clergyman, knowing the affection which subsisted between these two widows, kindly exerted himself in procuring for Mrs. Plaskett the allowance of money, without her being obliged to become an inmate of the charitable institution. For this act of kindness to a poor destitute widow, the blessing of Him who binds up the broken in heart will, doubtless, rest upon this worthy Clergyman, in that day when every man shall receive his reward; and when benevolence to the amount only of a cup of cold water shall not be unrequited.
Thus graciously did the superintending providence of a merciful God provide for her, and bring her by a way which she had not known. It does not however appear that the trials which she was called to endure, or the mercies which she received, produced in her soul any sanctified effects. She avoided open sin, but she was not found seeking after gospel holiness, "without which no man can see the Lord." A regular attendant, as she had ever been, on the services and sacraments of the Established Church, to which she was conscientiously attached, she did not imagine, that any thing more than this was necessary to carry her to heaven. A pious acquaintance sometimes used to say, " Mrs. Plaskett, your regular attendance on divine ordinances will not justify you in the sight of God; something more than this is necessary." Frequently, with tears she replied, " If this will not do, what can I do more?" So ignorant was she of the plan of salvation ! and in this state she continued many years. The conversations of her friend had, however, produced some misgivings in her mind as to her fitness for a better world. She sank deeper into a state of bondage to fear; and how to perform that which was good she knew not.
Although at that time she heard the gospel preached in its purity in Downton Church, both by the venerable Vicar, and his pious and excellent Curate, the Rev. Mr Dashwood, it does not appear that she was ever stripped of her own righteousness. The drawings of the Spirit she did, doubtless, feel; as, in after days, she would sometimes speak of the comfort which she had more than once felt under the preaching of the Rev. Mr. Dashwood, but for want of Christian communion these comforts were of short continuance.
It was reserved for the Wesleyan Methodists, as instruments in the hands of God, to lead the enquiring mind of this truly humble woman out of the toils of self-righteousness, where she had been for seventy years wandering
" In endless mazes lost,"
by expounding to her the way of God more perfectly.
In the year 1814, the Methodists erected a new chapel in Downton, which was opened in the month of September. Soon afterwards, Mrs. Plaskett was induced, from mere curiosity, to attend the preaching; her mind being, at this time, considerably prejudiced against every mode but that of the Established worship. The time of love was, however, come; and He that opened Lydia's heart, now opened hers to attend to the things which were spoken by his servants. Her prejudices gave way, and at the conclusion of the service she went home, saying it was so simple, beautiful, and heavenly, that she could gladly have staid the whole night. She embraced the first opportunity of taking a seat in the house of God, and from that time it was never vacant but when illness prevented her attendance, until she entered the temple above. Punctual in all her engagements, her seat-subscription was sure to be ready at the time it became due: Whoever might forget the time, it was never forgotten by Mrs. Plaskett.
From this hour she became a real worshipper, though she could not quite overcome her longstanding prejudices so as to join the Society, till the year 1819, in the summer of which, she received her first Society Ticket; and immediately became a decided Methodist. Indeed, from the time she first knew that people, she could not endure the speaking evil of them, but was ever ready to say, to foes, as well as to friends, " These men are the servants of the most high God, who show unto us the way of salvation."
Class-meetings were very highly prized by her. She did indeed delight in these opportunities of social conversation and humble prayer; frequently did she close her statement of Christian experience by saying, " I want more of God's Holy Spirit." And, truly, that sacred Spirit, that hallowing, heaven-preparing influence she did enjoy more and more, day by day, till mortality was swallowed up of life.
Prayer-meetings too were very greatly esteemed by Mrs. Plaskett; in this respect she was patern to believers, being ever uniform in her attendance. When upwards of eighty-two years of age, she has frequently been first at the sabbath morning six o' clock prayer-meeting, though she had a considerable distance to walk, and a steep hill to ascend, in order to reach the house of the Lord. And during the winter season, neither the coldness of the weather, nor the darkness, even when she was far advanced in her eighty-sixth year, prevented her from worshipping the Lord in his earthly courts.
It was a truly gratifying sight to witness, on one of these occasions, this mother in Israel bending beneath the weight of more than four-score years, leaning upon her friendly staff, while in the other hand she held her lantern, by the feeble light of which, casting its glimmering rays across her path, she was barely preserved from stumbling over the loosened pebbles, or from wandering aside into the mire, as she laboured up the hill to hold communion with Him whom her soul loved.
To minds less intent upon having an abundant entrance administered into the everlasting kingdom, these were pleas which might have been urged for staying at home. Her faculty of hearing had become impaired; and, in consequence of an affliction in one of her legs, every step occasioned pain; but so greatly did she long for communion with God, that all her infirmities and her pain were comparatively forgotten. It was no wonder that such a Christian, impelled by desires so ardent, and struggling to the house of mercy through such difficulties and so much pain, should be filled with the fullness of God. O! she could truly sing,
" Labour is rest, and pain is sweet,
If thou my God art here."
While in the house of prayer her soul truly waited upon God, she fed upon the fatness of his promises, and his comforts delighted her soul. The ordinances were not as dry breasts to her, but she sucked the milk of the divine consolations, and was thereby strengthened to lay a firmer hold upon the skies ; and her faith sometimes carried her on in holy contemplation, far beyond death, and the gloomy caverns of the grave, and opened before her a delightful and glorious prospect of the happiness which, when safely conducted into the presence of the King Eternal, Immortal, and Invisible, should be her unfading portion.
A month or two before her death, this aged saint met with a fall, from the effects of which she never recovered. She was soon confined to her room, and shortly to her bed, where she lay rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer; till prayer was lost in praise. Her sufferings were very severe; painful swellings followed the blow on her hip, which broke out in large wounds, leaving her in a sad and distressing state; but her God was with her. More than once in the time of health, did she express a fear lest the enemy should be permitted fiercely to assail her in her last illness, or in the hour of dissolution; but this was not the case. O how groundless were her fears ! Consolations from on high, and the kind attention of Christian friends, smoothed her passage to the tomb, while her departure was
" Calm as the summer evening's latest sigh
That shuts the rose."
O ! ye timid followers of the Lamb, take courage, while in imagination you stand beside this dying pilgrim. Behold "the victory by her Saviour given;" and be assured that He who gives you grace to live to him day by day, will also give you " dying grace in a dying hour."
The peace of God ruled in the heart of Mrs. Plaskett, and sometimes rose to rapture. To a friend she said, " 0 how I longed to see you, to tell you how happy I am ! Blessed be His merciful name! " A few days before her death a neighbour called to see her and said, " Mrs. Plaskett, you were always a good woman, you need not fear to die." She said but little at the time, but afterwards she burst into tears and said, " What! call me good, a poor vile worm like me good, a rebel all my life ?" Indeed it seemed as if she could not speak of herself in terms sufficiently humiliating; while she was equally at a loss for words in which to exalt the Redeemer. A friend was one day reading a favourite hymn from the Olney Collection, when the following verse greatly affected her, being as she thought strictly descriptive of her former state :—
" Some call him a Saviour in word,
But mix their own works with his plan ;
And hope he his help will afford,
When they have done all that they can:
If doings prove rather too light,
A tittle they own they may fail,
They purpose to make up full weight
By casting his name in the scale."
The fourteenth Chapter of St. John's Gospel was exceedingly sweet to her mind. The holy pleasure which beamed upon the countenance of this aged disciple while hearing those gracious words of her Saviour read, can never be forgotten by those who were present.
Sometimes her excruciating pains would cause an involuntary sigh ; but in a moment, her countenance would settle down in placid composure and calm attention. And she longed to stand in the presence of her Redeemer for ever: In the language of another favourite hymn she could say:—
" Absent, alas ! from God,
We in the body mourn ;
And pine to quit this mean abode,
And languish to return.
Jesus, regard our vows,
And change our faith to sight;
And clothe us with our nobler house
Of empyrean light! "
The morning of the day on which she died, she was heard to say several times, with great emphasis and evident pleasure, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!" During the greater part of the day, her lips were moving in prayer; her attendant heard her say, " Lord, have mercy ! Lord Jesus, help me." About an hour and a half before her departure, a friend said, " Mrs. Plaskett, are you still happy ?" She feebly answered, " Yes." She laboured to say more, evidently expressive of her happiness, but could not; the powers of nature had failed.
" Yet on her dying countenance was seen
A smile, the index of a soul serene."
At length, without a struggle or a sigh, her liberated spirit escaped from earth to heaven, Feb.. 27th, 1827, having sojourned here below four-score and six years.
May those who knew her on earth, meet her in the skies!

Q: Is there a fast way to scrape player stats on Futbin with BS4? For a personal I'm working on a webscraping project to scrape player stats on futbin.com.
I noticed that the stats on the website are not in table tags but in div tags and was wondering if there is a fast way to scrape all those stats in one time instead of line by line.
Example
I already scraped the information on the left side of the screen with this function:
def myhtml(url):
    # use BS4 to get table that has required data
    html = str(BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, 'html.parser').find('div', id='info_content').find("table"))
    # read_html() returns a list, take first one,  first column are attribute name, transpose to build DF
    return pd.read_html(html)[0].set_index(0).T

Now I'm looking to scrape all the individual stats. In my code below I only scrape the
"key" stats that are available on the card.
Function for the stats I had so far:
def stats_scraper(url):
    # Empty lists to save stats in
    # Pace
    pace_list = []
    shooting_list = []
    passing_list = []
    dribbling_list = []
    defending_list = []
    physical_list = []
    # Looping through all the links
    for link in url:
        page = requests.get(link)
        soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
        # Find the player stats
        pace = soup.find_all('div', id='main-pace-val-0')
        shooting = soup.find_all('div', id='main-shooting-val-0')
        passing = soup.find_all('div', id='main-passing-val-0')
        dribbling = soup.find_all('div', id='main-dribblingp-val-0')

I was wondering if there was a fast way to scrape all the stats with less code. Thanks in advance!

A: You can use .find_next() to get values of various footballer's stats:
import requests
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "https://www.futbin.com/21/player/541/lionel-messi"
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, "html.parser")

data = {}
for s in soup.select(".left_stat_name"):
    data[s.get_text(strip=True)] = s.find_next(class_="stat_val").get_text(
        strip=True
    )

print(pd.DataFrame([data]).T)

Prints:

Why don't the family courts obey the law?
Too many cases are standing the fundamental principles of British justice on their head, writes Christopher Booker
Lord Justice Munby, head of family courts Photo: BRIAN SMITH
By Christopher Booker
7:04PM GMT 14 Feb 2015
For two years, Lord Justice Munby, the head of our family courts, has been heroically fighting to restore some semblance of justice and common sense to our horribly secretive and corrupted "child protection" system, which I have been reporting on here since 2009 as one of the most shocking scandals in Britain today.
Two weeks ago, Munby again made headlines when he and two other judges in the Appeal Court magisterially tore apart a Liverpool judge, Robert Dodds, for his handling of a case-management hearing involving an intelligent boy, described as an "over-achiever" at school, who was desperate to return to live with his mother.
In 2012, Liverpool social workers sent the boy to live with his abusive father, who was sent to jail for assaulting him. They then placed him miserably in 14 different foster homes. The social workers were now considering that it might be best for him to return to his mother. But Dodds refused to hear any evidence and, without issuing a formal judgment or even giving his reasons, instantly ordered that the boy must remain in care.
After highly critical rulings from the other two judges, Munby weighed in by saying that he wished to emphasise two "important" points. The first was that it is "one of the oldest principles of our law", going back 400 years, that "no one is to be condemned unheard". Any "parent faced with the removal of their child must be entitled to make their case to the court"; and if they wish "to give evidence in answer to a local authority's care application", they must be permitted to do so. Secondly "there is the right to confront one's accusers", and to cross-examine any important witness on whose evidence the local authority is relying. Judge Dodds's adoption of such a "ruthlessly truncated process" in this case was "fundamentally unprincipled and unfair".
Just when Munby was making these points another case came my way which, as so often in the family courts, stood those fundamental principles on their head. A woman in Wales, after being made pregnant from a rape, lived for some years with the father, who continued to treat her so violently that she eventually fled with her son to a women's refuge. They then began living happily with a new partner by whom she had two more sons. Because of her past involvement in violence, however, Denbighshire social workers intervened to say that, unless she handed over her oldest son to his father, they would also remove her other two boys. She had no choice but to obey.

When the middle son was two, his mother took him to her doctor to look at a small bruise, which he said was nothing to worry about. But, on learning of this, the social workers insisted that the boy be examined by another doctor, who said that the injury might be "non-accidental", i.e. a sign of parental abuse. On a court order, the two boys were taken into care, and over the following months, through several court hearings from which the parents were excluded by their lawyers, they were shocked at "contact sessions" to see both the boys displaying many cuts and bruises (which they photographed).
What makes this even odder is that two months later the same judge, Gareth Jones, made national headlines for ruling that Anglesey social workers acted "above the law" in removing a nine-year-old boy from his family without a court order. This judge is clearly capable of upholding the law when he sees social workers acting improperly. But, since we cannot know what happened in his other courtroom weeks earlier, we cannot know how a planned five-day hearing came to be cut to just 30 minutes; or why those lawyers told the parents that they were not allowed even to enter the court, let alone to give evidence. We can only surmise what Lord Justice Munby might say were he given the chance to pronounce on a case that seems so flagrantly to have flouted those same fundamental rights under the law that he was recently so insistent must be upheld.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) and Blackfynn are joining forces to make optimal use of an initiative that could uncover Parkinson's disease biomarkers and bring about new therapies.
Called the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), the MJFF-backed effort is an ongoing observational study of more than 1,300 volunteer participants both with and without Parkinson's to validate biomarkers and, over time, identify disease risk factors. Participants undergo a battery of tests and assessments.
Biomarker discovery is critical in the quest for therapies that can slow or halt Parkinson's progression. Specifically, it would allow for earlier diagnosis, better disease tracking, and more efficient therapy tests. Current treatments only temporarily ease symptoms.
To glean as much as possible from patient data, Blackfynn will lead the PPMI Advanced Analytics Core, established to analyze biomarker discovery. The firm has a data integration and analysis platform it uses to drive development of therapies, and advance translational research for neurological diseases.
"The goal of the Advanced Analytics Core is to accelerate our analysis of the comprehensive within-subject data collected through PPMI," Kenneth Marek, PPMI principal investigator, said in a news release.
"By combining this rich, multimodal data with Blackfynn's platform and data science expertise, we hope to uncover insights into the determinants of [Parkinson's disease] progression that will lead to new therapies and improved quality of life for patients."
The Blackfynn infrastructure incorporates a full complement of medical and scientific data to enable swift assessment of data correlations and complex data visualizations. PPMI scientists plan to use the platform to interpret data, develop verifiable hypotheses, and better collaborate with the goal of more targeted translational research.
"Our work with MJFF and the PPMI investigators will maximize the value of this important patient dataset and help drive novel discovery with the potential to lead to the development of effective therapies for patients with PD," said Amanda Christini, president of Blackfynn.
"Blackfynn will enable a new lens through which discoveries can be made, by looking at all raw and metadata together, in context, to find new patterns that are otherwise obscured when data are in isolation."
Citing an unwieldiness caused by an abundance of Parkinson's-related biomarker information, an editorial in the journal The Lancet Neurology heralded the efficiencies of collaborative research. Particularly, it applauded the Accelerating Medicines Partnership for its efforts to find a Parkinson's cure.
As for the PPMI, five-year results have already shown that clinical trials in patients with early-stage Parkinson's may benefit from assessing markers of disease progression — namely, changes in the Movement Disorder Society (MDS)-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and dopamine transporter imaging.
Launched in 2010, PPMI is underway in the United States, Europe, Israel and Australia.
The MJFF is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's by funding research and ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with the disease. It has funded more than $800 million in research to date.

The Pali Canon is the body of scriptures central to the Theravada school of Buddhism. It contains the largest collection of teachings (suttas) attributed to the historical Buddha, as well as sections on rules for monastics and Buddhist philosophy.
The Buddha didn't write his teachings down, nor did his disciples. It's said that shortly after his death, five hundred of his disciples gathered for what was known as the First Council. Those particularly gifted at memorization recited what they remembered of his teachings and the others in attendance committed them to memory.
As tradition has it, the Buddha's teachings were finally written down in Sri Lanka at the end of the first century BCE, some five hundred years after his death. The original body of teachings apparently transcribed in Sri Lanka no longer exists. The extant record we know today as the Pali Canon began about 800 CE.
It's said that the Buddha wanted his teachings presented in vernacular language, rather than the more formal Sanskrit of the educated classes. The language of the original texts was a hybrid of several ancient Prakrit dialects that came to be called Pali, a word that actually means "text." Although it's not a language the Buddha spoke, it's closely related.
The Pali Canon is often referred to as the Tripitaka—the "three baskets"—because it has three sections. The Vinaya Pitaka lists the rules for monastics; the Sutta Pitaka contains the discourses of the Buddha and his principal disciples, plus certain commentaries and works in verse; the Abhidharma Pitaka, also known as the "systematic philosophy" basket, details Buddhist doctrines, especially about the nature of mind.
