Q: How to transform a tkinter ListBox into a list? I have a tkinter ListBox with, of course, a certain amount of items stocked on it.
I need to save a .txt file with the information stocked on the ListBox.
I've tried many ways but it won't work. Any ideas ? Thanks !

A: Use Tkinter.Listbox.get() and Tkinter.Listbox.curselection().
If you want all of the entries from the listbox, try this:
print self.lb.get(0,Tkinter.END)

If you want the selected entries:
print [self.lb.get(i) for i in self.lb.curselection()]

Fleshing out the example:
# UNTESTED

# Assuming you have an event bound to "OnClick":
def OnClick(self):
  with open("savefile.txt", "w") as savefile:
    # Assuming your listbox is stored in "self.lb"
    savefile.write('\n'.join(self.lb.get(i) for i in self.lb.curselection())
    savefile.write('\n')

SRH VS KKR – MATCH REPORT
Mayanti Langer is a well-known name in the cricket world, cricket fans were eager to see Mayanti on TV with the rest of the anchors this year, but she was not seen during the anchoring in IPL 2021. There may be personal reasons behind this. Significantly, Mayanti also missed the previous season, as she wanted to take a break after the birth of her first child.

There are many versions of the Disney autograph books. They are constantly changing and new ones are added with some regularity. For this reason, it's a bit difficult to determine which is the most recent autograph book (two may be been released simultaneously).
However, I do know who can help. The Disney Merchandise department has a database which includes nearly every time sold at Walt Disney World. They can determine which is the newest autograph book and either tell you where to find it at the parks or mail it to your home.
You can contact the Disney Merchandise Department at 407-363-6200 or wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com.

Q: Elastic 5.0 client issue running on Storm server because of log4j dependency Recently we upgraded to elastic 5.0. The java client in Elastic 5.0 has a hard dependency on log4j 2.6. Storm server (version 1.0.2) on the other hand uses an older version log4J and both are hard wired dependency. The following is the error we get when trying to deploy to the server and i can see that 'PreBuiltTransportClient' is not able to instantiate.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger.info(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V
I have raised the issue with Elastic and they have acknowledged the issue and mentioned that they are working on a true client that has lesser dependencies.
Any workarounds or suggestions to get around this for the timebeing?

A: I found a solution for this and it is working now. Here is what i did,

*

*Storm loads the log4j files using a python script from a specified folder under /lib. The latest version of storm uses log4j 2.1

*I copied the log4j 2.6.2 files in to that folder.

*Now when I deployed my toplogy, storm started using the log4j2.6.2 in the CLASSPATH.

*Elastic client got what it needed and it started working.

Until the light weight Elastic Client is released we will continue to use this workaround.

Aftermath, Season One, Episode Two: In Rats Alley
Holy shit batman dragons....where's khaleesi? Yeah, I just couldn't resist.
I still don't have a clear understanding of this world. It seems that solar flares are effecting the globe and this had lead to massive problems. Society is crumbling because people are becoming infected and then being invaded by what Aftermath calls skinwalkers. You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong on this but from my understanding, a skinwalker is a witch which has the ability to transform themselves into any animal. This is far different from how Aftermath is using the term because skinwalkers in this universe are people whose bodies become invaded by demons. This means that not only is Aftermath guilty of appropriation, they've decided to give a paranormal entity a brand new definition. It's particularly problematic because thus far, there isn't an aboriginal person on the show, nor is there any other reoccurring character of colour.
One of the big themes this week was disability in a dystopian world. People living with disabilities are almost uniformly erased in this genre. Sure, we occasionally see people living with PTSD (eg Rick talking to a dead Laurie on the phone on The Walking Dead) but more often than not, things move so quickly, said person never really deals with their PTSD. Having not been able to meet up with Brianna, the Copeland family decides to join a convey headed towards Seattle. Vince and Donald Chang are part of the convey. Things go well at first, with Matt and Donald even bonding over the fact that they played football for opposing teams. As time passes, Donald begins to act more and more weird but the only one who is concerned about this is Matt. When Donald dislocates his shoulder, Sally, Karen's sister fixes it for him and the entire family is stunned when Donald doesn't even scream in pain. Donny should be sending off warning flares to everyone given that they've already been told that the possession manifests as a sickness.
Matt is the only one to act and he ends up chasing Donny through the woods with Karen and Vince fast on his heels. When Matt finally confronts Donny, a small scuffle breaks out between the two boys and Donny's voice suddenly changes. With all of the strange behaviour, Donny's voice changing is enough for Matt to decide that Donny is infected and so he shoots him. Donny simply slumps to the ground and dies. This shocks Matt because he was so sure that Donny was infected. It's only when Vince reveals that Donny was schizophrenic and ran out of his medicine that all of Donny's strange behaviour makes sense. Matt is ashamed to have killed someone for no reason and repeats that Vince should have told them. Karen makes it better for her son by saying that he made a mistake and making him promise to take time to evaluate the situation next time. Matt however is still worried that waiting might well mean that his family dies because he believes with the changes in the world what is needed is action. Karen assures Matt that this isn't the case and he agrees to investigate before acting the next time.
In the end, though Matt does take some blame; however, Aftermath clearly places the blame on Vince for his lack of disclosure regarding Donny's mental illness. There's very good reason for people with mental illness to hide from the general public. Ableism is a terrible thing to negotiate and it has lead to things like forced sterilizaton, housing and employment discrimination and even death. Revealing Donny's mental illness is something Vince would rightfully be afraid to do in a world in which the rule of law had broken down and people are desperate. Even in the best of times, admitting to an invisible disability can mean problems. Either way you look at this situation disclose or not disclose, it's a dangerous thing to be disabled in the real world, let alone a dystopian world.
All of this neatly ties in with the overarching theme this week: what kind of person are you? Dystopians don't change people, they make them reveal exactly who they are. We have Karen, who is arguably the muscle in the family go racing out into the field to stop an attack on a young woman. Then there's Dana, the family genius, doling out the science facts and explaining to both the family and the audience what it means that solar flares are going off. Aunt Sally is a nurse whose priority is looking after people. She's more than willing to sacrifice herself if she thinks that it will help someone. Joshua, the patriarch, is still very much an academic and he seems to spend his time suggesting that lore can explain what is going on. Brianna takes after her mother with her never say die attitude and her top priority is her family. Finally, we come to Matt, who really doesn't have a secure place and is trying to figure out who he is. On one hand, he greatly resents his sister's intelligence and wants very much to be a person of action like his mother but he is filled with self doubt. Of all the characters, the one I see with the most room to change and grow is Matt.
I've mentioned Aunt Sally a few times so far in this write up. Aunt Sally is a new character and thus far all we really know is that she is very different from her sister Karen. Yeah, Sally has a devil may care attitude when being shot at but she gets serious when it comes to treating the sick. There seems to be some disagreement between the sisters about going after their father who is a deadbeat dad. At this point, other than dealing with the supernatural, this seems the most viable plot point for tension. It will be interesting to see if Aftermath decides to follow up on this and add a more human based plot line.
Finally, I want to talk about Brianna because thus far, she's alone in this world. This week she faces several challenges.Brianna is happy to get a ride to Seattle, only to find that the car she is riding in is out of gas. If that were not enough, the driver promptly shoots herself once she realises that her friend is dead, thus leaving Brianna on her own again. When Brianna meets Tatianna, a young woman about her age, things are looking up. It seems that Brianna might just have found a travelling companion but it's not to be. Tatianna wants Brianna's phone to get in touch with her boyfriend and she doesn't care what she has to do to get it. This causes a showdown between the two girls, forcing Brianna to use the gun she took from the woman who killed herself. Brianna then walks off with her phone and heads towards her grandparents home.
I love following Brianna's journey because she is tough and seems to handle whatever gets thrown her way. That being said, I hope that next week, we will see Brianna start asking questions before teaming up with people. As much as I like Brianna's journey, there's also the issue that it feels very separate from the main cast and pulls the viewer away as a result. It's almost like watching two shows simultaneously. Brianna needs to get together with the rest of the Copelands so that Aftermath can gain some cohesion. There's too much going on with the supernatural to have the family split apart the way that it is.
I'm a little more sold on Aftermath after the second episode. I like that they decided to get rid off the odd reactions by the family to each weird incident. Each character seems to have a purpose, even if they don't necessarily play off each other that well yet. There's something good to be said about the way that Aftermath has flipped gender and made Karen a woman action and her husband the academic. The world hasn't been explained sufficiently as far as I'm concerned, but hey, there's dragons. Aftermath certainly isn't at the top of my list but after this week, I'm interested to see where it is going.

I wanted to share this pillow from Espen's room with you. When it was time to travel back from Norway after my dad passed away, I grabbed a shirt from his closet as a little something to remember him by. I don't particularly remember him wearing this shirt, but I do remember my dad wearing plaid shirts for all of of my life. This one was soft and the fabric had pilled, which means that it got a lot of use. And it smelled like my dad and like home.
Once we got back, I started thinking about what I wanted to do with the shirt. I liked the idea of giving it a new life, so looked into shirts refashioned into something else. Finally, I found this pillow made from a shirt and liked the idea, only the tutorial was in Finnish! But it gave me a clear enough idea of what I wanted: I especially liked how the buttons and pillow were left intact, so it still looked like a shirt, even though it was a pillow.
At this point I enlisted the help of my kind mother-in-law, who is a wonderful seamstress. I knew that while I could probably made a pillow, she would make the right pillow. I love how she left the collar, buttons and sleeves on, so it still looks like a shirt. Espen loves that it has a pocket for tucking secrets inside.
I knew right away that it was going to be a pillow for Espen's room. He loved his Grandad so much, but I can tell that his memories of him are already starting to fade. So it's nice that he has a physical reminder of a Grandad that loved him and was such a big part of his early life. He sleeps with it in his bed most nights - although I suspect that has more to do with the nest-building phase he's in right now than feeling close to his Grandad. I prop the pillow behind my back when we read stories at bedtime, and I like to feel that my dad (or at least one of his possessions) is such an easy part of our day-to-day life. I think he would like that too.

Stuck, trapped, constricted. Steel bars preventing the imprisoned spirit from breathing the pure air of freedom. Never has the man relished less the old dog-haired sock of his own company, but it's the only company he keeps. Call it a habit of keeping unorthodox hours. But it's his job, five nights a week, to stay awake until dawn while the inhabitants of the house sleep, which means he is not really alone. He can't howl and scream as he wishes, can't sing 'Landslide' off-key and weep uncontrollably, if he wants to keep the job. Which is a big 'if.' He feels as if his soul is in traction, as if he's been gagged and strapped to a cold comfortless bed. Even so, blessed for now with healthy legs and feet, he is able some nights before going in for his midnight shift, to slip past the imaginary guard that haunts his apartment door, and find his way down to the park in the museum district. There he jogs around the golf course, where each tall lamp, with its reliable measured distance from the last, serves as his salvation from the dark. But running only tightens the tendons, strains the muscles and joints. On a superficial level it may temporarily relieve the intensity of his suffering, but it furthers hardens a body that desperately needs to soften. Around and around the man goes, circling like a vulture, but he gets no closer to the food he seeks—the deep-bellied sustenance of Joy, the full-bodied nurturance of Peace. There is no sweet or savory fare his hands can bring to the table of thanksgiving, no good and gracious word his voice can share at the table of happy relatedness. Indeed, pressed into his cramped corner, the man hates that such tables exist. Call this wretch an indentured servant to some absurdly misdirected notion of persistence. Call him sorely deficient in Vitamin D. Surely a little sunshine wouldn't hurt. But he is ashamed to show his face in the glaring light of day, his face with its burn scars and hollow sockets, with its prematurely lined forehead and ravaged eyes from which the light dies a little more with each passing night.
January 6, 2022 January 6, 2022 / Brian	/ 2 Comments
The nights don't get easier. They are still as lethal to illusion as ever. Lethal too to every truth that rings false to the hooded Ruler who demands obedience to their dominant mood. The heart weakens under the spell of their dark magic. She can't recall a single hour when she felt glad or at ease. The skin forgets what it feels like to be touched by the rays of the sun. And wasn't the whole body once touched, held in an embrace the sun itself had to envy, since she didn't know what the moon knew, she wasn't witness to the two lovers entwined in each other's arms beneath the stars? What comes as a gift comes with so much more than strings attached. Comes like a strange ship to a new land, to bestow trinkets of silver and gold and then to pillage and slaughter and traumatize the native soil and the native souls. What comes as a gift comes with the knowledge, whether affirmed or denied, that it will not last. The expiration date is unreadable, but it is certainly there, smudged on the bottom of the glass bottle. It is all a man can do to hold fast to a few ancient lines. Blessed are those who mourn. Sorrow is better than laughter. But worst are the nights when tears do not come, when the face stays frozen in a grim posture of joyless resolve. So let the tears come, and let them burn clean. Not to make the nights any easier, but to give them over to what is real. For it was not too long ago we held each other in an embrace we forced the sun to envy, and now each of us is alone, each and every night. And only tears, in all their wordless power, acknowledge the truth this knowledge brings.

Introduction of the project
X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy have been the conventional means for imaging matters to achieve spatial resolution of better than the atomic scale (Angstroms) for long time.Recently, various methods capable of resolving the temporal as well as the spatial information have been developed to analyze matter transitions. For instance, ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) method, where electron pulses are generated by short laser pulses and then accelerated to about 100 keV, has been developed. Most recently, UED with temporal resolution of about 100 fs has been used to observe the time dependent structural change in the melting of solids.While these are powerful tools for time-resolved imaging of structure at the atomic levels, they are not sufficient for time-resolved analysis of matter transitions involving electron dynamics, which are important for tracing chemical and biological reactions. New techniques for imaging transient matters with higher temporal resolutions are growing increasingly desirable. In this project, we will develop theoretical and computational methods for high resolution 4-D spatio-temporal imaging of atoms and molecules using intense ultrashort infrared laser pulses. Spatial resolution of the atomic scale (Angstroms) and temporal resolution of the order of the electron orbital period in molecules (atto seconds) can be achieved using rescattering electrons produced from molecules exposed to intense laser pulses (See Figure 1). This new technique should open up a route to the time-resolved study of electron dynamics in matter transition and promote deeper understanding of the laser-matter interaction.
Figure 1. Schematic of chemical imaging with infrared lasers. (a) The electric field (E) and the vector potential (A) of a typical five-cycle infrared laser pulse. (b) Schematic of using backward rescattering process to image the molecule by its own electron. First, the electron gets tunnel ionized near "a" at the peak of the electric field. It returns to recollide with the target near "b" which corresponds to the peak of the vector potential and get scattered backward to imprint the target structure on the detector. Electrons ionized near "a' " instead would imprint the image on a detector on the left (not shown).

We can create the most aggressive marketing campaigns based on sound online marketing strategies that can be implemented with confidence and give the desired results.
Google has long felt that search results have to be most relevant to internet users' searches so that they can easily access the businesses and information that they are searching for. Although businesses are identified through search results, the actual transaction does not always take place online. The majority of businesses depends on physical transactions that can happen only if searchers are able to reach out to them at their location. Therefore, Google had felt it necessary to consider the location of internet searchers and provide the list of businesses surrounding that same area.
Local SEO acquires a lot of significance and importance. Internet searchers are able to get the exact location of businesses as shown on Google maps along with the address and contact details. On the other hand, an increased business that is the direct result of online marketing is enjoyed by business owners who take advantage of it.
Till 2014, internet marketing campaigns and strategies used to focus on the larger marketing horizon but never considered if the results could be used favorably for making conversions happen. What sense does it make if you come across companies that are located far away from your location and you cannot access them physically to buy the product or service that you are looking for? After all, all businesses do not conduct business online. This gap became an impediment to business growth that Google plugged effectively by introducing the Pigeon update in 2014.
Google loves small, local businesses who are trying to make a profit online. Providing more resources to small businesses is the key driver of an SEO campaign that promises of providing a level playing field for all sizes of businesses that depend on internet marketing. Google's intention of empowering a small business is reflected in the way it provides resources for free in the form of various tools like Google Analytics, Web Master Tools and much more.
The predominant feature of local SEO campaigns is reflected in the search results that are completely individualized. This means that the results are more specific to the person searching it. This saves a lot of time of searchers who are presented with customized results that do not require further refinement. Since the location of the searcher is a prime driver of search results for local search engine optimization, searchers are assured that business that is located nearby are listed in the results. The chances of generating business are enhanced in this way.

Listing your business on website directories is an important process that should never be taken lightly.

The more accurate it is across various platforms, the more authority you stand to enjoy that has an impact on search rankings.
Having achieved the above, the next target is to gain local relevance. To do this we turn to optimization of external links and content. Mentioning about your location and region in the content is the easiest way to gain relevance that leads to building relationships.

Even if you have faith in the powers of SEO, the question that might be moving through your mind is how much time it takes for the results to show up? It is really not possible to give timelines for results. There are several factors that have to be synergized to launch internet marketing campaigns, and with so many variables, predicting a definite timeline is not possible. The nature of the campaign and the progress that it makes influences the time it would take for results to show professional team implements the very best strategies and techniques possible. But ultimately it is up to Google to decide when and how to rank your website. However, an estimated timeframe is 4 to 6 months until improvements should start appearing. If you are ranking for more competitive keywords, it could take 6 months to even 1 year for high ranking results to show up on Google.

WTOG's studios are located on Northeast 105th Terrace in St. Petersburg, near the west end of the Gandy Bridge; its transmitter is located in Riverview, Florida.
WTOG's signal is relayed through two translators: W23CN-D (channel 23) in Sebring and W26DP-D (channel 26) in Inverness. On cable, WTOG is available on Charter Spectrum and Verizon FiOS channel 4 throughout the Tampa Bay area, and on Comcast Xfinity channel 9 in Sarasota and Venice.

4.1 Notable former on-air staff
WTOG first signed on the air on November 4, 1968, operating as an independent station. The station was founded by Saint Paul, Minnesota-based Hubbard Broadcasting, who also owned radio station WGTO (540 AM, now WFLF) in nearby Cypress Gardens; Hubbard originally wanted to name the station WGTO-TV, but the request was denied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),[5] which led to Hubbard using a slightly modified form of the callsign. The station began with a limited test schedule airing two hours per day,[6] but expanded to broadcasting eight hours per day on January 27, 1969, initially airing from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily.[7]
Initially, WTOG ran a lineup of older movies, some low-budget syndicated programs, a few off-network westerns and sitcoms, and some cartoons. In the station's early days, its slogan was "WTOG... As Far as the Eye Can See", which was made famous by its mid-1970s station identification package. [1] WTOG caught on with viewers immediately; so much so, in fact, that it forced competitor WSUN-TV (channel 38, frequency now occupied by WTTA) off the air in 1970. For the rest of the 1970s into the early 1980s, WTOG was the only independent station in the Tampa Bay area. During the 1970s, WTOG gradually expanded its programming hours: by 1972, the station signed on at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and around 1 p.m. on weekends. By 1976, WTOG signed on the air daily by 7 a.m. Gradually, WTOG added better sitcoms, more cartoons, off-network dramas, and better movies. While the station was profitable all along, its programming improved significantly in the late 1970s.
Becoming a superstation
Channel 44 finally gained competition in 1981, when Family Group Broadcasting signed on WFTS-TV (channel 28) as a family-oriented independent station. However, WTOG remained the clear leader in the market for the next two decades. During the 1970s and 1980s, the station was carried on many cable providers in central and southwestern Florida. In the 1980s, WTOG also maintained a network of low-powered repeaters, located in Sebring, Inverness, Arcadia (in the Fort Myers market; that translator has since shut down), Ocala (part of the Orlando market; that translator, W29AB, has since become a translator for Orlando's WKMG-TV) and Okeechobee (part of the West Palm Beach market). It billed itself as "Florida's Super Station", which "Covered Florida Like The Sun".
There was also some consideration to put WTOG on cable in Tallahassee, but that never came to fruition. WTOG was one of the most profitable independent stations in the country. In fact, during the late 1970s, Ted Turner called the station to ask how WTOG made itself so profitable.
From Fox to UPN
On October 6, 1986, WTOG became a charter affiliate of the fledgling Fox network. The station, however, was still effectively programmed as an independent during its time as a Fox affiliate as the network's programming only comprised two hours of its primetime lineup on Saturday and Sunday evenings early on (they would not expand their programming to seven days a week until 1993). However, over time, channel 44 became one of several Fox affiliates nationwide that were disappointed with the network's weak programming offerings, particularly on Saturday nights, which were bogging down WTOG's otherwise successful lineup. WTOG dropped its Fox affiliation in 1988, sending it to WFTS (which was acquired by the E. W. Scripps Company in 1986). Through the early 1990s, WTOG was still running mostly cartoons (both classic and recent), classic and recent sitcoms, drama series and older movies. As part of deal with United Television, WTOG was an affiliate of the Prime Time Entertainment Network syndication programming service from 1993 to 1995.[8]
WTOG was largely unaffected by the affiliation swaps of 1994, which saw longtime CBS affiliate WTVT (channel 13) switch to Fox (as a result of the network's affiliation deal with then-owners, New World Communications); WFTS becoming an ABC affiliate; and longtime ABC outlet WTSP (channel 10) assuming the market's CBS affiliation. However, channel 44 did regain a network relationship when it became a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network (UPN) at its launch on January 16, 1995. As with its days as a Fox affiliate, WTOG continued to program itself as an independent, programming a traditional general entertainment format during the day, with UPN programming being shown during the primetime hours.
Paramount Stations Group, a subsidiary of Viacom (which jointly owned the All News Channel cable network with Hubbard) purchased the station in the spring of 1996; at the time, Paramount Stations Group was in the process of selling stations it owned that were not UPN owned-and-operated stations, and traded NBC affiliates WNYT in Albany, New York and WHEC-TV in Rochester, New York to Hubbard.[9][10] The purchase by Viacom made WTOG a UPN owned-and-operated station, becoming the first network-owned station in the Tampa Bay market. Soon after taking control, Paramount changed WTOG's on-air branding to "UPN44", which remained in use for the remainder of the network's run. By the late 1990s, older sitcoms (such as All in the Family) and older cartoons made way for talk shows, court shows and reality programs (such as People's Court and Judge Mills Lane) during the daytime. Recent cartoons (such as Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Garfield and Friends and Disney's Hercules) and recent sitcoms (such as Charles in Charge, Step by Step, Family Matters, Sister, Sister, Roseanne, The Simpsons, Seinfeld (now on WTTA) and Friends) continued to air but movies also were eliminated almost completely. Viacom purchased CBS in 2000 and merged that network's owned-and-operated stations into Paramount Stations Group.
For one day in May 1999, WTOG housed the operations for WFLA-TV (channel 8), after a power outage occurred at that station's main studios in Downtown Tampa.
Switch to The CW
On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation (which split from Viacom, one month earlier) and the Warner Bros. Entertainment unit of Time Warner announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW.[11][12] The CW signed a 10-year affiliation agreement with 11 of CBS' UPN stations, including WTOG; channel 44 became a CW owned-and-operated station when the network launched on September 18, 2006. Under current ownership, WTOG is one of two network-owned stations in the Tampa Bay market, alongside Fox-owned WTVT. Gradually, cartoons would disappear from WTOG's schedule, as with every broadcast station in the early 2000s. More reality and court shows would begin airing in place of that programming, while sitcoms continue to run during the evening hours.
For years, WTOG had handled master control operations for its sister station, KEYE-TV in Austin, Texas. However, in November 2006, WTOG's master control facilities, along with that of Atlanta's WUPA, were moved to sister CW affiliate WGNT in Norfolk, Virginia; 20 WTOG employees were laid off, even though CBS had previously denied that such terminations would happen.[13] KEYE was later sold to Cerberus Capital Management, through its Four Points Media Group (which in turn was sold to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, then-owner of MyNetworkTV affiliate WTTA). WGNT was sold to Local TV, the owner of that market's CBS affiliate WTKR, in August 2010 (which Local TV was merged with Tribune Broadcasting three years later, in August 2013). When CBS wound down operations at the Norfolk hub, WTOG and WUPA began handling their own master control operations once again.
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
PSIP Short Name
Programming[3]
44.1 1080i 16:9 WTOG-CW Main WTOG programming / The CW
44.2 480i Decades Start TV
44.3 LightTV Light TV
44.4 Dabl
44.5 Circle (soon)
WTOG shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 44, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[14] The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 59, which was among the high band UHF channels (52–69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its analog-era frequency, UHF channel 44.
Syndicated programming seen on WTOG includes Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Hot Bench, 2 Broke Girls, and Mike & Molly, among others. WTOG formerly produced a Saturday afternoon horror movie showcase, Creature Feature, which ran on the station from 1971 to 1995.
Sports programming
From its sign-on through 1976, WTOG carried Atlanta Braves baseball games through a syndication package that aired regionally on stations across the Southern United States before the cable/satellite launch of Superstation TBS the same year effectively ended the Braves regional network. From 1977 until 1989, it aired a variety of Major League Baseball games from various team networks on a daily basis (with the exception of Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays). These included games from the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals and the Toronto Blue Jays, as those teams were mainly in the Grapefruit League for spring training in the Tampa Bay, Orlando, Fort Myers and Sarasota areas. WTOG discontinued the baseball broadcasts when ESPN became the cable partner for Major League Baseball in 1990.
WTOG aired numerous Tampa Bay Rowdies professional NASL soccer road games in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Additionally, many home and away indoor matches were shown.[15][16][17][18][19]
The station also aired NHL games televised by NBC that were preempted by WFLA-TV in the 1970s. It later aired games from the NHL Network syndication package in the late 1970s and early 1980s. From 1992 until 2003, the station was the flagship of the Tampa Bay Lightning television network; the Lightning has been cable-exclusive since the 2003–04 season.
News operation
From its sign-on through 1982, WTOG ran daily news capsules, mainly at sign-on and sign-off, with an announcer reading the day's headlines over a slide. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the station featured an on-camera newsreader providing a news summary during its morning discussion program, Florida Daybreak. WTOG started using the Eyewitness News brand in the late 1970s, though its news was still a rather staid, low-key affair.
In 1982, Hubbard Broadcasting established a full-fledged news department for WTOG, and debuted a nightly 10 p.m. newscast. At first, WTOG continued to use the Eyewitness News name, with Barbara Callahan (former co-host of WTOG's edition of PM Magazine) and John Nicholson (formerly an anchor at WTVT) as co-anchors. During the mid-1980s, the station's newscast was renamed Tampa Bay Tonight, subsequently changing in 1988 to 44 News at Ten and then WTOG 44 News at Ten in 1992. Between 1985 and 1995, John Summer served as primary anchor with various co-anchors, including Callahan. In 1996, following Viacom's acquisition of WTOG, the 10 p.m. broadcast was retitled as the UPN44 10 O'Clock News, co-anchored by Callahan and Patrick Emory.
WTOG's news department was shut down in 1998, as a result of cost-cutting measures mandated by then-parent company Viacom and competition from Fox station WTVT's own 10 p.m. newscast. WTOG has not aired any newscasts since that time, making it one of seven CBS-owned stations that do not currently air any local news programming (the other six are KSTW in Seattle and WUPA in Atlanta—both of which last aired outsourced newscasts in 2005, KTXA in Dallas–Fort Worth and WBFS-TV in Miami—both of which canceled newscasts produced by a sister station in 2011, though KTXA retains a sports show, and the Detroit duopoly of WWJ-TV and WKBD-TV—which canceled their morning newscast in 2012, although, WWJ-TV still airs weather updates). WTOG had aired the syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz from 2004 until its sudden cancellation in 2015. It replaced its former time slot with paid programming and children's shows.

                        Arduino Listen to me

                                By ipedrazas

                                ArduinoIdea

I’ve been waiting a loooong time before unleashing my (very reduced) arduino skills in order to build something wicked.

Arduino is great for learning and… for building THAT CRAZY IDEA.

First idea was about using solar energy with arduinos but since I work at night… I think I’ll have to postpone that one a little bit.

From all the arduinos the one that really ticks my box is the lilypad. Yup, the wearable arduino is the one I’ve been more willing to lay my hands on.

So, what is the project about?

Well, I like cycling and I like gadgets… and if there’s something that a bicycle doesn’t have is a proper signaling system, so this is my idea: A jacket that will have a signaling/messaging system.

I know, there are some projects already out there trying to achive having a more secure cycle ride, but they are not very usable.

My efforts are not making something that works. My efforts are aimed to build something usable. Something useful. Something beautiful.

So far I’m experimenting with arduino and the Easy VR Shield. The idea is very simple: you give voice commands to your jacket like “RIGHT” or “LEFT” and the jacket will light up a << sign for a few seconds.

That’s what people would call an MVP, then, of course, there’s room for more fancy stuff like displaying messages to our fellow drivers… but this will come later, for now, let’s get the prototype working.

Anyway, I need to find a nice name for the project so, if you have a good idea for it, share it with me, please

                        Ghost Bed Ideas

                                By ipedrazas

                                under

                                IdeaMe

Those thoughts that crawl around at midnight.

Was talking about ideas last week and suddenly I realised that my ideas don’t come from nothing but from a seed idea. Something that makes an impact or attracts my mind somehow triggers the idea generation process.

The process is more or less like this:

I see something I like, for example, the stool that rocks.

That sensation/memory lingers in y head for a while.

Start spawning random thoughts of how I would do if I were or what I would do if I could

A lot of side jumping between ideas.

Have you seen how designers work? designers produce and discard an extraordinary amount of work. My idea generation process is a bit like that. Hammering the concept with as many random thoughts as possible and looking at how the idea shapes up.

For example, using the stool that rocks I could talk about the “Ghost Bed Idea” which is nothing more that a design of a bed I’ve made based on the principles of the stool that rocks: that you can make your own furniture.

But can you? Can you really make your own table? bed? chairs?

I don’t see why not. Unfortunately for me, my cad skills are almost none, but I know how to draw, and yes I know how to do technical drawing too… and I’m not engineer but I know enough of tensions, forces and resistance to think of what it means to build something like a bed.

I don’t want to imagine my wife’s reaction next time she ask me what I’m doing: “Actually, a bed, darling”…

But let’s face it. For now, it’s more a concept, a few sketches and some random queries in google to find out how thick wood has to be to be able to build a bed.

                        What's next?

                                Idea

After a week near Barcelona where I tried not to write any code… I came back with a very diffuse idea of what should I do next. I knew what I wanted, I knew where I wanted to go, but I had no idea of the route.

Well, I’ve just got the green line from the financial team (read, my wife) to enrol in the next crazy idea: a mobile app for the wedding of a friend!

Come on, guys, after Saint Valentine, it was clear that it had to be a wedding… wasn’t it?

                        Secret Valentine – Results

                                By ipedrazas

                                under

                                AndroidIdea

Almost a week ago and I’ve said a word about My Secret Valentine project… yet. you will have to excuse me but I’ve been a bit busy. Things of having to deal with children during Half Term.

Let’s get into the story. Last week I published a very little app that the only thing that did was to send a (not very pretty, have to reckon) message and a picture by email.

Total numbers:

30 installations in 7 countries (UK, Spain, USA, Ireland, Netherlands, Panama, Ukraine)

89 Valentines sent

8 Uninstalls (after 14th of February)

78 visits to the app page (78.71% from Twitter, 8.17% from Facebook, 0% from G+).

I used Karmacrazy to check how many people went to the Play page. In case you don’t know, Google doesn’t let you track how many people visit your app’s page. But as I said, no analytics? no problem. In fact, you can take a look to the link stats to see the kind of information you can get from this tool.

If you want to give it a go, use this link.

More numbers. Android Versions. And this is kind of a surprise, because in the last Droidcon we talked loooong time about legacy android versions and here we have the proof of what’s the biggest problem with Android so far.

As you can see the top version is the very old 2.3.x followed by all the 4s. I fact, if we unify all the Jelly Bean devices we see that 75% of the devices are running Jelly Bean. However, who’s going to shut the door to 30% of their potential customers?

For those who are prone to slag Android think about it. Updates don’t come from Google, updates come from your carriers. The more the Android device has been customised, the harder it will be to update. Why so many devices still on 2.3.x ? because of the 24m contracts, of course.

                        My Secret Valentine – I

Last Wednesday I spent 3 hours with QME trying to make them understand that one thing is having an idea, a very different thing is creating a product from that idea.

I got an idea: to make an app for Saint Valentine called “My Secret Valentine”. A simple app that allows you to send a message (an image and a text) to your valentine.

First step: accelerated idea iteration, where you basically get that idea, you throw it into the washing machine of your brain and try to spin it as much as possible. The result? a much polished idea.

Second step: paper prototype. I’m a big fan of paper prototype. I always draw diagrams, relationships, anything… ideas on paper are great because if you cannot put your idea on a paper, you don’t have an idea, you’re day dreaming.

Paper prototypes for apps are the best. Some post-its and a pencil it’s enough to bring your app to live. Once I have the Post-It app done, I use a mobile outline where I try to do the equivalent of a storyboard of my app.

Once I have that I start coding… but that part will be on another post.

Stay Tuned!

                        Iterating the Idea

                                By ipedrazas

                                Idea

You have an idea, and that’s great, but now you need time to cook it, and bake it and let it rest, and then look at it again… Of course you don’t have time for anything, so, you just go like mad and jump into this new idea because it’s so great that you cannot understand how nobody has noticed it before, how no one has done anything before … And then you fail (it’s not quiet like that but I’ll save you a few lines of going nowhere).

You have an idea and then you wait, and then you talk to people and explain that idea. You see, my wife was right when she said that if you cannot explain an idea the idea is not that great. But how are you going to explain someone your new idea about quantum physics if nobody knows quantum physics… and this is the hardest lesson I’ve learnt these last two years:

If you cannot condense and explain your idea in plain language that everybody can understand, chances are that it’s not that great idea.

Don’t get me wrong, the idea can be incredible awesome, but you have to go over and over and over again to polish it off, to make it cristal clear. Then, and only then, it’s when it makes sense to go wild and try to create whatever your idea is all about.

The beauty of the whole thing is that no matter what, you will learn. Either by failing or by succeeding and that is, I think, the best of the whole situation.

                        The Challenge

                                By ipedrazas

                                AndroidIdea

Yesterday I spent a few hours talking with the Queen Mary Entrepreneurs students. My main objective was to motivate those ones who had and idea to try and build a product. I’m not sure if I’ve succeeded or not but while I was talking I had the idea of teaching by giving example… so, here’s the challenge.

Today it’s 7th of February, in a week it will be 14th… Saint Valentine’s day, so the challenge is to build an Android app that allows you to send a Secret Saint Valentine’s message.

I have a week to design, implement, test and release this app. Can I do it? well, using Bob the Builder catchphrase: “Yes, we can!”

The idea is simple, a person uses the app to send an anonymous message to his secret Valentine. I don’t really know how the person will receive the message. It will be by email but I’m not sure of the format yet.

Anyway, the whole point is to write a bit about the experience so next time I meet with the QME people, I’ll have some real data to share with them.

Wish me luck!

A firm that fired a worker for serious misconduct without proving the misconduct has been ordered to pay more than $11,000.
Ratu Waru was dismissed from his job as a supervisor at Metallic Sweeping in Turangi in February last year.
The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) found the company failed to support its allegations, nor did it give Mr Waru an opportunity to respond to them.
In her decision, ERA member Rachel Larmer said: "Mr Waru did not get anything more than the bare allegations which were set out in the disciplinary letter ... Mr Waru was therefore unaware of the full extent of [his employer's] concerns or what they were actually based on."
Ms Larmer found that Mr Waru's boss, Clive Peter, had given him an unreasonably tight timeframe to consider the concerns, without enough time to seek legal counsel.
She also said the way Mr Waru received the news of the disciplinary meeting were not the actions of a "fair and reasonable employer".
Mr Peter had faxed the disciplinary letter to the workplace, where it was picked up by one of Mr Waru's subordinates, who read it before taking it to Mr Waru.
Ms Larmer said it appeared Mr Peter treated Mr Waru differently to other staff.
Mr Waru believed he had been dismissed because he had continued to raise concerns about how the company was deducting its employer KiwiSaver contributions from his wages instead of paying them in addition to his hourly rate.
According to the legislation governing KiwiSaver, employers can't take employer contributions from an employee's pay unless that has been negotiated and agreed to.
Here, the employer amended Mr Waru's employment contract after it had been signed to make that change - but, because Mr Waru had not agreed to it, the amendment effectively had no standing and Metallic Sweeping was ordered to compensate Mr Waru for lost wages.
An employment lawyer, Alistair Espie, said the case was a lesson to other employers.
"If you trump up claims that aren't serious misconduct, and if you follow a quick and rough process that doesn't have regard to procedural fairness and the requirements of natural justice, you may well find yourself in the Employment Relations Authority."
Mr Espie said an employee accused of serious misconduct was entitled to review all the relevant information.
Metallic Sweeping was ordered to pay over $11,000 to Mr Waru not including costs.

Nunn, Heat Back in Win Column Against Spurs
Home > US Sports > NBA > Wishful Thinking
by Keith Rivas - 15th November 2014 30th June 2018 1
Houston, TX—The Philadelphia 76ers were 35 seconds away from finally getting something other than goose egg in the win column against a very talented and versatile Houston Rockets squad. The score was 87-84 and although Houston had the ball with the clock running down, the worst that could happen was the game being tied with some time left on the clock for Philly.
But then all hell broke loose.
The 76ers offense got sloppy literally in the closing seconds it couldn't afford to lose. James Harden of the Rockets was able to drive into the lane and earn a tough lay-up at the rim for the lead with just under ten seconds to go.
Plenty of time to get a good look, right? Not for Philly.
Michael Carter-Williams tried to play hero but fell short in a disappointing and stunning turn of events for the team representing the city of brotherly love. For a city known for a nickname involving the love between brothers, the Sixers have felt anything but love from the NBA and every team that they've played so far.
Now at 0-9, this 76ers team could still be worse than the team we saw take the court last season that ended with a 19-63 record. Off to such a bad start, fans of the game are already starting to wonder how far the tanking will have to go before Philadelphia finally becomes a contender again like the days of Allen Iverson.
READ: Heat Fall to Timberwolves
The Rockets, on the other hand, can now enjoy their eighth victory in nine games and remain one of the top three teams in the Western Conference. It's a tad early in the season to be looking at the specifics of the playoff picture in either conference, but as it stands right now we are going to have one heck of a bracket in the West.
In a dog-eat-dog atmosphere, the Sixers are going to need more than a genie or a magic wand to solve their problems. But at this point, getting a victory is nothing short of wishful thinking.

One thought on "Wishful Thinking"
Chris Kirby says:
They are pretty pathetic this season. At least they have MCW back. Tony Wroten has been a bright spot. I like watching Nerlens Noel play. "The Human Pogo Stick". It's going to be funny if this squad beat the 9-73 mark for worst record (held by another former Sixers team) and still miss out on the #1 overall pick. At least I know I can book a W in the win column when my Blazers play em.

"Money"
(1973) "Time"
(1974) "Have a Cigar"
"Time" is a song by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It is included as the fourth track on The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and was released as a single in the United States. Bassist Roger Waters wrote the lyrics, and the music is credited to all four band members. Keyboardist Richard Wright shares lead vocals (his last until "Wearing the Inside Out" on The Division Bell) alongside guitarist David Gilmour.
The lyrics deal with the passage of time – time can slip by, but many people do not realise it until it is too late. Waters got the idea when he realised he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it. He has described this realisation taking place at ages 28 and 29 in various interviews.[3] It is noted for its long introductory passage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded as a quadrophonic test by Alan Parsons, not specifically for the album.[4]
1 Composition
4 Personnel
5 Live versions
Composition[edit]
"Time" is in the key of F♯ minor. Each clock at the beginning of the song was recorded separately in an antiques store. These clock sounds are followed by a two-minute passage dominated by Nick Mason's drum solo, with rototoms and backgrounded by a tick-tock sound created by Roger Waters picking two muted strings on his bass. With David Gilmour singing lead on the verses and with Richard Wright singing lead on the bridges and with female singers and Gilmour providing backup vocals, the song's lyrics deal with Roger Waters' realization that life was not about preparing yourself for what happens next, but about grabbing control of your own destiny.[3]
He (Alan Parsons) had just recently before we did that album gone out with a whole set of equipment and had recorded all these clocks in a clock shop. And we were doing the song Time, and he said "Listen, I just did all these things, I did all these clocks," and so we wheeled out his tape and listened to it and said "Great! Stick it on!" And that, actually, is Alan Parsons' idea.
—  David Gilmour[5]
The drums used on the Time track are roto-toms. I think we did some experiments with some other drums called boo-bans, which are very small, tuned drums, but the roto-toms actually gave the best effect.
—  Nick Mason[5]
According to an interview by Phil Taylor in 1994, David Gilmour had been using a Lexicon PCM-70 to store the circular delay sounds heard in "Time", which could duplicate the kind of echo he used to get from his old Binson echo unit.[6]
The verse chords cycle through F♯ minor, A major, E major, and F♯ minor again. During this section, Gilmour's guitar and Wright's keyboards are panned to the extreme right and left of the stereo spectrum, respectively. Gilmour sings lead during this section.[7]
The bridge section, with Wright singing lead, has a notably "thicker" arrangement, with the female backing vocalists singing multi-tracked "oohs" and "aahs" throughout, and Gilmour singing harmony with Wright in the second half. The chords of this section are D major seventh to A major ninth, which is repeated. The D major seventh, with the notes of D, F♯, A, and C♯, can be heard as an F♯ minor chord with a D in the bass, fitting the song's overall key. The second half progresses from D major seventh to C♯ minor, then B minor to E major.[7]
The first bridge leads to a guitar solo by Gilmour, which plays over the verse and bridge progressions. The solo is followed by another verse sung by Gilmour. When the bridge is repeated, it does not conclude on E major as before. Instead, the B minor leads to an F major chord, while Waters's bass stays on B, resulting in an unusual dissonance as a transition to the key of E minor for "Breathe (Reprise)".[7]
Pink Floyd performed the song live from 1972 to 1975, and after the departure of Waters, from 1987 to 1994. Waters began performing the song in his solo concerts, singing the verses himself, beginning in 1999 with In the Flesh and again with The Dark Side of the Moon Live from 2006 to 2008. Nick Mason made a number of guest appearances on the latter tour. Gilmour has performed the song live on every one of his solo tours since Pink Floyd's Pulse tour, with the late Richard Wright sharing vocals until his death.
In a contemporary review for The Dark Side of the Moon, Loyd Grossman of Rolling Stone gave "Time" a positive review, describing the track as "a fine country-tinged rocker with a powerful guitar solo by David Gilmour".[8]
Film[edit]
During live performances, the band back-projected a specially-commissioned, animated film by Ian Emes.[9][10] The film was subsequently included as an extra on the Pulse DVD.[9]

Forum Przestrzenie, Kraków
A hipster's guide to Kraków
Can you to escape the burden and the context of history in one of the two cities UNESCO recognised world Heritage? The answer is "Yes, of course", all you need is to move away from the districts that are inescapably bound with history.
Kazimierz district of Kraków
For Kraków, the first such alternative district was Kazimierz. In dire need of refurbishment, it attracted a new type of visitor: certainly not your history teacher but younger folk, eager to chat until the small hours, have some drinks, perhaps dance on an odd bar or two, but first of all enjoy the company of like-minded people. They first discovered ul. Szeroka and plac Nowy, spilt into Meiselsa, Bożego Ciała and Miodowa streets to take over most of the district. They became a powerful force for its revival in more than just one sense.
Many brows raised to learn that the younger generation no longer consider the district the default source of leisure and pleasure. Podgórze! The other side of the Vistula River was discovered. The Kładka Bernatka foot-and-bike-bridge let thousands of people walk and pedal into the district. Little wonder that the new fashionable places developed on Mostowa street leading to it, and the very centre of Podgórze it leads to blossomed and burgeoned. The square at its end and ul. Brodzińskiego are still lined with the area's most fashionable places, from a pub and a bar, via a sushi joint, a restaurant, a café and an ice cream shop, to a pizza place.
Yet that was the discovery of the Forum Hotel, the huge derelict relic of the 1970s, that provided the greatest venue for the new, hip generation. Forum Przestrzenie, as the place is known, offers both plenty of open indoor space and thousands of deckchairs in the shadow of the former hotel. They are eagerly occupied by groups who have just escaped their 9-to-5 jobs as well as Kraków's artists and fashionistas. Soon a mini funfair sprouted nearby to be joined by a river-beach, a "Kraków Eye" balloon, and hotels on barges moored on the river. It's always best to look around and decide which fashionable areas you like most, yet why not take a hint or two from here: just click.
Zabłocie is situated further away down the river and is a district that received its second life from developers. It is a very fashionable address but also home to the city's largest private university, and two museums (this is after all Kraków, remember): Schindler's Factory and MOCAK: Poland's MOMA. This is also where the city's first private dormitory opened in what used to be a long many-floor-high office and manufacturing building. Another building was taken over by a cluster of startups.
Do not strike Kazimierz out, as its nightlife knows no paragon. The plethora of concerts (check out Alchemia) and other events including even poet slams is breathtaking. Frequenters of the hip areas on the other side of the river are likely to find harbour in and around Dajwór street, and (a real insider pro tip): hardly any tourists have discovered that one of the buildings in Szeroka street has a roof terrace giving you a 360° panorama of the city. Impressive both during the day and in moonlight. There's plenty of street food in the area too.
Nowa Huta, the unfortunate heritage left by the communist system Poland had to suffer from 1945 to 1989, was certainly designed as the city's drab sleeping quarter. The saplings they planted at its construction have turned into lush trees, and people's regular desire for leisure has prompted the development of many centres of entertainment. You are welcome to the Stylowa: a restaurant that hasn't changed much from the days of communism, and still features a statuette of Lenin. If, however, you arrive by the Nowa Huta Reservoir, you'll find street food and atmosphere reminiscent rather of the "capitalist" Europe's chief cities.
