RIB Notes: It's a Word Document
And now for a few musical tidbits as I wait for my hearing to return after last night's Long Winters show at Maxwell's - which was excellent, by the way, especially when lead singer John Roderick, suffering from a cold that forced him to miss soundcheck while asleep in his van, finally got his mic levels right. I'm still kicking myself for not bringing enough cash to afford one of those damn $3 Long Winters kazoos, having foolishly spent everything I had on beer. What was I thinking?
Not long after chronicling my run-ins with Yo La Tengo in Hoboken (see link at end of note), I found myself on the PATH train with Georgia Hubley. I was sitting in a mostly empty car when she walked in and sat next to me on the other side of the bench for the trip into Manhattan. She wore ratty old sneakers and carried a well-worn bag, looking more like a homeless lady than a rock star. She got off at 14th street (or was it 9th? I forget now). I don't think anyone else recognized her. [A Taste of Hoboken: Stalking Yo La Tengo]
Once again, The Innocence Mission has cancelled tour dates due to illness. I can't remember who it was that was sick the last time I had tickets, but now it's Karen with "bronchitis/laryngitis" and the World Cafe Live show in Philly and the Southpaw in Brooklyn shows are off - or more likely just postponed, we don't know yet. I have tickets to the latter, of course. [The Innocence Mission Official Web Site]
R.E.M. made a big hubbub on Thursday, sending out emails to fan club members (which I am no longer because I got lazy and never renewed several years ago) telling them a major announcement was coming yesterday afternoon. Speculation on Murmurs.com ran rampant - including the usual Bill-Berry-is-coming-back chatter. As it turns out, the band simply announced a five-night stint at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin and a presale for fan clubbers.
No big deal, really, except for one heartening aspect of this: It's being called a "working rehearsal" for the new album. Very refreshing - a lot of fans, including myself, feel that the last couple albums could have been helped by fleshing them out live beforehand. [REMHQ]
Speaking of R.E.M., my all-time most hated R.E.M. lyric - "Leaving was never my proud" from Leaving New York - made a Spinner list of the 20 Worst Lyrics Ever, checking in at No. 15. They also (cleverly) revisit their assault on Stipe in their comments on entry No. 13 if you're interested. [Spinner's 20 Worst Lyrics Ever]
Pitchfork does an excellent roundup of all the little teaser videos and sound clips Bjork has been floating around the Interweb concerning her upcoming album Volta. [Bjork Trickling Out Volta Teasers]
I have been listening quite a bit to both the new Lilly Allen and the new Andrew Bird records. Eventually I will write more about each of them. For now, I will say that both are excellent and certainly worth checking out.
Merlin Mann, of MacBreak Weekly fame, started up his own new video podcast called The Merlin Show, which so far has featured interviews with John Vanderslice, Peter Hughes (of The Mountain Goats) and the aforementioned Roderick of The Long Winters. I haven't watched them yet, although I did see the first few minutes of the Vanderslice interview. I was digging it before my ADD kicked in. [The Merlin Show]
And finally, a video that reminded coworker Eric of my music snobbery:
Posted by Matthew at 9:03 AM
Whoa I had no idea Merlin was so famous at the other end of the continent!
Glad you liked the show, the setlist looked pretty short tho. apparently John is attractive to cold viruses.

This photo was taken Nov. 2, 1997, on Roch Thornton's back patio in Overland Park, Kan. That was the weekend of the first CAP 2 "reunion" attended by those of us in this photo, plus Robert "Doc" Hipple, and our wives. Left to right, we are Ken Duncan, Dennis Prock and Roch Thornton.
In the summer of 1970, five of us Marines in CAP 2-7-2 planned a reunion. Our plan was simple. We would meet at noon exactly five years to the day after the end of the Vietnam War. We would meet at the corner of Haight and Ashbury streets in San Francisco. We would all wear pink shirts, to be sure of recognizing each other (we expected to have long hair, maybe beards).Why pink shirts? We couldn't imagine any piece of clothing that screamed "CIVILIAN!" louder than a pink shirt. We wanted to be civilians. I even had a pink shirt custom-made for me while I was on R&R in Hong Kong.
After meeting, we planned to get drunk, get high and get laid — not necessarily in that order. Give us a break. We averaged about 20 years of age.
It never happened, naturally. Nobody showed up at Haight and Ashbury because nobody knew when the war ended. There was nothing like V-E Day or V-J Day in World War II. Did the war end with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1972? Did it end with the departure of last U.S. combat troops? Did it end when the last helicopter lifted the last American off the roof of the U.S. Embassy in 1975? How about when the POWs came home from North Vietnam? Tell me when the Vietnam War ended.
Maybe we would have met in San Francisco, at least a couple of us, if there had been a V-Vietnam Day. Maybe not. We were scattered to the four winds long before 1975. I'm not even positive anymore who the five were. I think they were Roch Thornton (me), Ken "Dunc" Duncan, Dennis "Erp" Erpelding, Dennis "Huck" Prock and Nelson Kilmister.
Ken, Huck and I finally had our reunion in Kansas City on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1-2, 1997, along with our wives and some of our children. We had a great time, though we're middle-aged now, celebrating our survival and talking about old friends and the "bad old days." Another reunion is being planned, and more old comrades will be there — a little more than five years after the end of the war.


Haven't heard Syd's critically acclaimed solo album, Fin, yet? First of all, what's wrong with you? Okay, okay.. I forgive you. Plus, though the album has been out for over a month and a half now, the Internet's super cool singer Syd has only barely revealed her favorite song off the album -- and it wasn't even on it. "Treading Water," an unreleased track off Fin never made it on the tracklist, and We Are: The Guard think that's a damn shame. Listen below.
Syd sounds like a forlorn seductress crooning over an equally mellow beat. The grooviness of the tune makes me think I'm in the middle of a beatnik poetry session, and Syd's voice is sending my snapping fingers up over my head in a blaze. The heady vibes of "Treading Water" still exudes soul, as per usual with Syd. Soft, sensual, and gravitating -- It's a little baffling why this song didn't make the cut for the album.
The cherry on top of "Treading Water" is the little hook that sums up what this track is all about: putting out. "Two times for the guys that wait" she sings. On a deeper level, I love the interpretation of having this song sum up the problems of modern dating; waiting around for a couple days and playing the ridiculous cat-and-mouse game of "will they or won't they text me?" It's a real epidemic out there, guys, and someone has finally spoken out about it. Syd is the voice of our generation.
Syd's debut solo album Fin is out now, and her newly unreleased track "Treading Water" has me putting the album back on deck this weekend. I suggest you all do the same.


Yes, this is the same lotion you fell in love with in Costa Rica!
Use the gallon size to refill our Mango Dream Cream eco-bottle with Raw Botanicals #1 bestseller.
At our flagship Spa in Manuel Antonio, we used this for our Massage, hand and foot treatments for over ten years. I always bring it in by travel toiletry bag when abroad; to make sure I can give myself a creamy hand and foot wrap while away. I never know exactly what to expect of a non tropical climate, so this keeps my skin in optimal condition and make sure the dewy tropical humidity stays with me no matter where I go!
Certified organic cocoa butter, certified organic Costa Rican aloe gel, almond oil, rosemary oleoresin extract, vitamin E oil, vitamin C ester, vegetable glycerin, micronized titanium dioxide, mango extract, papaya extract, 100% pure essential oils of orange, tangerine, and grapefruit.
What fruit is good for you, aids in digestion, makes a great smoothie, and can tenderize meat? If you guessed the papaya, a popular fruit grown throughout Costa Rica, you are right! The papaya plant, which is actually an herb, not a tree, is known as the "star" of Costa Rica farming.
Although the exact origin of the papaya is unknown, it is considered to be native to either Costa Rica or southern Mexico.
The papaya fruit has become so popular that not only is it found growing wild in the rain forests, but also in residential and resort gardens, small neighborhood groves, and as a vital crop throughout Costa Rica.
Stay alert on your next visit to Costa Rica, papaya groves are great places to spot toucans and monkeys because they are attracted to the sweet, juicy fruit of this delicious plant.
The fruit is highly nutritious, containing vitamins A, B, and C, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron; it also contains malic and pyruvic acids, two potent alpha hydroxy acids, and the enzyme papain.
We use fresh local Costa Rican papaya extract in our Mango Dream Cream, Papaya Tangerine Body Wash, and our lovely and wondrous Papaya Facial Renewing Polish.
In season, pick up a ripe papaya and eat up!
You can lather up and enjoy any one of our amazing Raw Botanicals products loaded with papaya extract (AHA) on the outside, while you eat the potassium and fiber in your fresh papaya which is a traditional Costa Rican method used to help tighten your tummy.


Most of you must have heard about the FUTO school fees reduction rumour and are running around the web looking for genuine information regarding the issue.
I will personally walk you down on issues regarding the futo school fees reduction rumour.
#39,300 for 200 and 300 level students and #29, 300 for the 400 level and final year students.
The school fees payment portal was perfectly working and people were generating their school fees and making payments until the 17th of Feb 2017 after the FUTO protest.
After the FUTO protest, students stopped generating school fees invoice hoping that the school fees would be reduced due to the students protest.
The Federal University of Technology Owerri, through the registrar announced an extra #12,500 (surcharge) as payment for damages done during the protest and also announced that there was no reduction on the school fees. Students got the information and went back to the school portal to generate both surcharge fees invoice and school fees invoice.
Currently, there is no official statement from the Federal University of Technology Owerri regarding the fees reduction so I cannot say for sure if or if not there would be a school fees reduction.
For the mean time, if you can generate your invoice, go ahead and pay your school fees but if you cannot, you can complain to FUTO online through the live chat program on the school main portal at portal.futo.edu.ng or visit the school ICT center.

The students of Kiit International school participated under guidance of their teahers Ms. Nikita and Ms. Rashmita in a one of its kind Model United Nation(MUN) debate organized by Odisha Debate Association on 13th, 14th, and 15th of April 2012 at ITER campus, BBSR. Wherein students from standard 7th to standard 11th of Kiit International school took part and not only competed with the under graduates of different technical collages, making their presence felt but also two of Kiit International School students won special recommendation certificates as good speaker(Arman of standard 11th ) and upcoming photographer(Anupam of standard 10th ). Though it was the first experience of the students, but seeing the enthusiasm and the kind of gain from the activity, the school management is planning to have this as a regular feature of the school soon.

Four Movies You CANNOT Miss This Summer!
By Rebecca GnirkeJune 17, 2019 No Comments
Nothing says summer quite like going to a blockbuster matinee on a lazy Saturday. From hostile aliens to Hamlet in the Savanna, this year's line-up has no shortage of thrills and excitement. This summer, the movies reimagines some of our favorite characters and franchises: familiar–but new. Hollywood has had a penchant for recycled material in recent years, so we're glad to see them breaking the mold a bit to give us fresh, unique takes on the characters and stories we love.
From movies inspired by comics to those made by filmmakers who love them, we're excited for so many upcoming films that we've gone ahead and highlighted the ones on our radar.
Pangs of nostalgia and heart racing excitement, jaw-dropping special effects and sheer terror. Read on to see how we rank upcoming titles, from excited to can't-hardly-wait.
4) The Lion King
It's not just nostalgia that has us excited for Timon and Pumba's return to the silver screen—this star-studded cast features Donald Glover in the title role, along with Seth Rogen, Beyoncé, and Eric André. Add James Earl Jones reprising his role of Mufasa and you have reason enough to go check out this updated version of the beloved children's film. Director Jon Favreau (Iron Man) stayed faithful to the original film while not producing a shot-for-shot remake, promising to provide a familiar feeling yet new experience for children and adults this summer.
3) Men in Black: International
The first Men in Black film was the perfect summer blockbuster, and we've been loving the film franchise since 1997 (and the comics even longer!). This summer brings the men—and women—in black back, and with new faces. Featuring Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth as our heroes keeping the planet safe from intergalactic threats, the series leaves the familiar Big Apple and goes global as a new generation comes to don the mantle and shades. More than just a reboot, Men in Black: International is looking to redefine the franchise we've loved since the 90's. It's hard to imagine the series without the iconic Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, but with Spielberg producing and Liam Neeson also starring, we're excited to try.
2) Spiderman: Far From Home
Your friendly neighborhood spider (Spider-man, should there be any question?!) is leaving the US in Marvel's first major film since Avengers: End Game. Why are we excited? Nick Fury is back, Mysterio is making his screen debut, and Spider-man's in Europe. We're anxious to see how Peter Parker deals with a drastically changed world while grieving the loss of so much but definitely excited to see how the Elementals shake up our earth. With an all-star cast and Marvel's perfect movie magic, the newest Spider-man promises to be one of the summer's most entertaining films.
1) Joker
From Jack Nicholson's playful crown prince of crime to Heath Ledger's iconic and celebrated performance, the role of Batman's arch nemesis, Joker, is one of the most difficult and celebrated roles in comic film history. We're looking forward to this summer's new take on the Joker, featuring award-winner Joaquin Phoenix in a retelling of how one man can grow twisted beyond redemption. Director Todd Phillips isn't holding back, and the film has already earned an R rating, a first for DC films. Family friendly? Probably not, but Phoenix's iteration of the world's favorite super-villain promises to be haunting, terrifying, and completely unforgettable.
All in all, summer promises to be a surefire season of revamped classics and redefined favorites, and we're anxious for all the new releases. We'd be lying if we said we weren't primed for yet another celebrated actor taking the mantle of the Joker, though, and we're excited the DC cinematic universe seems to finally be pulling together to give the members of the Justice League their due respect. Reviewing the above list, though, shows that we'll be treated to a host of classic summer blockbusters at the box-office.

Q: Rabbitmq server working suppose i have a producer on rabbitmq server which will generate a random number and pass it to the consumer. Consumer will receive all the random-numbers from producer. If i will kill my consumer process, what will producer do in this situation? whether it will continuously generate the number and when ever the consumer(client) will come up it will start sending again all the numbers generated by producer or some thing else...

A: To fully embrace the functionality you need to understand how the rabbitmq broker works with exchanges. I believe this will solve your problem.
Instead of sending to a single queue you will create an exchange. The producer sends to the exchange. In this state with no queues at this point the messages will be discarded. You will then need to create a queue in order for a consumer to receive the messages. The consumer will create the queue and bind it to the exchange. At that point the queue will receive messages and deliver them to the consumer.
In your case you will probably use a fanout exchange so that you do not need to worry about binding and routing keys. But you should also set you queue to be autodelete. That will ensure that when the consumer goes down the queue will be deleted. And hence the producer, unaffected by this, will continue to send messages to the exchange that are discarded until the queue is reconnected.

A: For now I'm going to assume you have a topic exchange. If there is a queue and its bound to the same exchange and routing key (or dotted prefix) of the producer, the queue will build up the messages whether there is a consumer there or not... for the most part.

The core idea in the messaging model in RabbitMQ is that the producer
  never sends any messages directly to a queue. Actually, quite often
  the producer doesn't even know if a message will be delivered to any
  queue at all.
  -- http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-three-python.html

If the queue does not exist the message gets discarded. If the queue does exist (ie its durable) there are configurations that you can make on the queue and/or message that will make it so your messages have a TTL or time to live: (http://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html and http://www.rabbitmq.com/dlx.html). You might also want to look into and understand queue durability and auto-delete. I highly recommend you look at the AMQP quick reference also as you can figure out what you want from that: http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-quickref.html . You'll have to convert the pseudo code to your library or client.
Basically it all boils down to what type of exchange and the configuration of the queue and message.

A: The q in rabbit mq stands for queue. This means that all messages placed in the queue, in your case the producers random numbers, will remain in the queue until someone comes to get them.

Compute and generate factorials, permutations and combinations in Python
TwitterFacebookPocketCopy
The standard module math for mathematical functions in Python can be used to compute factorials. SciPy also has functions to calculate the total number of permutations/combinations.
The itertools module can also be used to generate permutations and combinations from lists (arrays), etc., and enumerate them.
The following is explained here, along with sample code.
factorial:math.factorial()
Calculate the total number of permutations
math.factorial()
scipy.special.perm()
Generate and enumerate permutations from a list:itertools.permutations()
Calculate the total number of combinations
scipy.special.comb()
How not to use math.factorial()
Generate and enumerate combinations from lists:itertools.combinations()
Calculate the total number of duplicate combinations
Generate and enumerate duplicate combinations from a list:itertools.combinations_with_replacement()
As an example of utilizing permutations, the following is also explained.
Create anagrams from strings
If you want to generate a combination of elements of multiple listings instead of a single listing, use itertools.product() in the itertools module.
factorial: math.factorial()
Generate and enumerate permutations from a list: itertools.permutations()
Generate and enumerate combinations from lists: itertools.combinations()
Generate and enumerate duplicate combinations from a list: itertools.combinations_with_replacement()
The math module provides a function factorial() that returns the factorial.
math.factorial(x) — Mathematical functions — Python 3.10.4 Documentation
print(math.factorial(5))
Non-integer, negative values will result in a ValueError.
# print(math.factorial(1.5))
# ValueError: factorial() only accepts integral values
# print(math.factorial(-1))
# ValueError: factorial() not defined for negative values
Permutations are the number of cases where r are chosen from n different ones and placed in a row.
The total number of permutations, p, is obtained by the following equation using factorials.
p = n! / (n - r)!
It can be calculated as follows using the function math.factorial(), which returns the factorial. The ⌘ operator, which performs integer division, is used to return an integer type.
def permutations_count(n, r):
return math.factorial(n) // math.factorial(n - r)
print(permutations_count(4, 2))
SciPy provides a function scipy.special.perm() that returns the total number of permutations. A separate SciPy installation is required. Available from version 0.14.0.
scipy.special.perm — SciPy v1.8.0 Reference Guide
from scipy.special import perm
print(perm(4, 2))
# 12.0
print(perm(4, 2, exact=True))
exact=False
The third argument is set as above by default and returns a floating point number. Note that if you want to get it as an integer, you need to set it as follows.
exact=True
Note that only "import scipy" will not load the scipy.special module.
Execute perm() as "from scipy.special import perm" as in the above example, or execute scipy.special.perm() as "import scipy.special".
Not only total numbers, but also permutations can be generated and enumerated from lists (arrays), etc.
Use the permutations() function of the itertools module.
itertools.permutations(iterable, r=None) — Functions creating iterators for efficient looping — Python 3.10.4 Documentation
Passing an iterable (list or set type) as the first argument and the number of pieces to be selected as the second argument returns an iterator for that permutation.
import itertools
l = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
p = itertools.permutations(l, 2)
print(type(p))
# <class 'itertools.permutations'>
To enumerate all of them, you can use a for loop.
for v in itertools.permutations(l, 2):
print(v)
# ('a', 'b')
# ('a', 'c')
# ('a', 'd')
# ('b', 'a')
# ('b', 'c')
# ('b', 'd')
# ('c', 'a')
# ('c', 'b')
# ('c', 'd')
# ('d', 'a')
# ('d', 'b')
# ('d', 'c')
Since it is a finite iterator, it can also be converted to a list type with list().
When the number of elements in the list is obtained with len(), it can be confirmed that it matches the total number of permutations calculated from the factorial.
p_list = list(itertools.permutations(l, 2))
print(p_list)
# [('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), ('a', 'd'), ('b', 'a'), ('b', 'c'), ('b', 'd'), ('c', 'a'), ('c', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('d', 'a'), ('d', 'b'), ('d', 'c')]
print(len(p_list))
If the second argument is omitted, the permutation for selecting all elements is returned.
for v in itertools.permutations(l):
# ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
# ('a', 'b', 'd', 'c')
# ('a', 'c', 'b', 'd')
# ('a', 'c', 'd', 'b')
# ('a', 'd', 'b', 'c')
# ('a', 'd', 'c', 'b')
# ('b', 'a', 'c', 'd')
# ('b', 'a', 'd', 'c')
# ('b', 'c', 'a', 'd')
# ('b', 'c', 'd', 'a')
# ('b', 'd', 'a', 'c')
# ('b', 'd', 'c', 'a')
# ('c', 'a', 'b', 'd')
# ('c', 'a', 'd', 'b')
# ('c', 'b', 'a', 'd')
# ('c', 'b', 'd', 'a')
# ('c', 'd', 'a', 'b')
# ('c', 'd', 'b', 'a')
# ('d', 'a', 'b', 'c')
# ('d', 'a', 'c', 'b')
# ('d', 'b', 'a', 'c')
# ('d', 'b', 'c', 'a')
# ('d', 'c', 'a', 'b')
# ('d', 'c', 'b', 'a')
print(len(list(itertools.permutations(l))))
In itertools.permutations(), elements are treated based on position, not value. Duplicate values are not taken into account.
l = ['a', 'a']
# ('a', 'a')
The same applies to the following functions, described below.
itertools.combinations()
itertools.combinations_with_replacement()
The number of combinations is the number of r pieces to choose from n different pieces. The order is not considered as in permutations.
The total number of combinations c is obtained by the following equation.
c = n! / (r! * (n - r)!)
def combinations_count(n, r):
return math.factorial(n) // (math.factorial(n - r) * math.factorial(r))
print(combinations_count(4, 2))
SciPy provides a function scipy.special.comb() that returns the total number of permutations. A separate SciPy installation is required. Available from version 0.14.0. Note that scipy.misc.comb() does not implement the argument repetition described below.
scipy.special.comb — SciPy v1.8.0 Reference Guide
scipy.misc.comb — SciPy v0.13.0 Reference Guide
from scipy.special import comb
print(comb(4, 2))
# 6.0
print(comb(4, 2, exact=True))
As with scipy.special.perm(), the third argument is set as above by default and returns a floating-point number. Note that if you want to get it as an integer, you need to set it as follows.
The total number of duplicate combinations can also be obtained with the fourth argument, repetition. This is described below.
Again, note that only "import scipy" will not load the scipy.special module.
As in the above example, execute comb() as "from scipy.special import comb" or execute scipy.special.comb() as "import scipy.special". The same applies to "scipy.misc".
Another method that uses only the standard library and is faster than the method using math.factorial() is the following method.
Is there a math nCr function in python? – Stack Overflow
from operator import mul
r = min(r, n - r)
numer = reduce(mul, range(n, n - r, -1), 1)
denom = reduce(mul, range(1, r + 1), 1)
return numer // denom
It is possible to generate and enumerate all combinations from lists (arrays), etc. as well as total numbers.
Use the combinations() function of the itertools module.
itertools.combinations(iterable, r) — Functions creating iterators for efficient looping — Python 3.10.4 Documentation
Passing an iterable (list or set type) as the first argument and the number of pieces to be selected as the second argument returns the iterator for that combination.
c = itertools.combinations(l, 2)
print(type(c))
# <class 'itertools.combinations'>
for v in itertools.combinations(l, 2):
c_list = list(itertools.combinations(l, 2))
print(c_list)
# [('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), ('a', 'd'), ('b', 'c'), ('b', 'd'), ('c', 'd')]
print(len(c_list))
The number of duplicate combinations is the number of cases in which r are chosen from n different ones, allowing for duplicates.
The total number of duplicate combinations is equal to the number of combinations to choose (r) out of (n + r – 1) different ones.
Therefore, we can use the function defined above to calculate the total number of combinations.
def combinations_with_replacement_count(n, r):
return combinations_count(n + r - 1, r)
print(combinations_with_replacement_count(4, 2))
In "scipy.special.comb()" described above, the total number of duplicate combinations can be obtained by setting the fourth argument "repetition=True.
Note that the argument "repetition" is not implemented in "scipy.misc.comb()" in versions prior to "SciPy0.14.0".
print(comb(4, 2, exact=True, repetition=True))
It is possible to generate and enumerate all duplicate combinations from lists (arrays), etc. as well as total numbers.
Use the combinations_with_replacement() function in the itertools module.
itertools.combinations_with_replacement(iterable, r) — Functions creating iterators for efficient looping — Python 3.10.4 Documentation
Passing an iterable (list or set type) as the first argument and the number of pieces to be selected as the second argument returns an iterator for that overlapping combination.
h = itertools.combinations_with_replacement(l, 2)
print(type(h))
# <class 'itertools.combinations_with_replacement'>
for v in itertools.combinations_with_replacement(l, 2):
# ('b', 'b')
# ('c', 'c')
# ('d', 'd')
h_list = list(itertools.combinations_with_replacement(l, 2))
print(h_list)
# [('a', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), ('a', 'd'), ('b', 'b'), ('b', 'c'), ('b', 'd'), ('c', 'c'), ('c', 'd'), ('d', 'd')]
print(len(h_list))
Itertools.permutations() makes it easy to create string permutations (anagrams).
s = 'arc'
for v in itertools.permutations(s):
# ('a', 'r', 'c')
# ('a', 'c', 'r')
# ('r', 'a', 'c')
# ('r', 'c', 'a')
# ('c', 'a', 'r')
# ('c', 'r', 'a')
To combine a tuple of one character at a time into a string and make it into a list, do the following
anagram_list = [''.join(v) for v in itertools.permutations(s)]
print(anagram_list)
# ['arc', 'acr', 'rac', 'rca', 'car', 'cra']
The join() method, which concatenates elements of a list or tuple into a string, and the list comprehension notation are used.

Q: Howto make this relation work in MYSQL or Laravel I'm no amazing with MYSQL at all, however laravel framework has made it very easy for me to get what i need as long as i know the basics.
So this question will first aim towards the MYSQL people, because i would rather figure out how to achieve this in plain MYSQL, and then convert it into laravel queries after.
I have 4 tables that need to be used in this query, as seen below:
1. products

    id | name | description | price

2. customers

    id | fname | lname | email | telephone

3. orders

    id | customer_id | total_price | status

4. order_items

    id | order_id | product_id | quantity | price

So i am creating an orders page on my web application. On this page it will show a list of all orders, including the order_items to that particular order. It will also include which customer this order belongs to.
I have managed to achieve the above using laravel, and i get the array seen below:
Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [id] => 9
        [customer_id] => 16
        [total_price] => 103.96
        [status] => new
        [created_at] => 2016-02-24 03:06:41
        [customer] => Array
            (
                [id] => 16
                [fname] => firstname
                [lname] => lastname
                [email] => firstname.lastname@gmail.com
                [telephone] => 07707707707
                [address_line_1] => Warstone Rd, walsall
                [address_line_2] => Wolverhampton
                [postcode] => WV10 7LX
            )

        [order_item] => Array
            (
                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [id] => 1
                        [order_id] => 9
                        [product_id] => 44
                        [quantity] => 1
                        [price] => 50.00
                    )

                [1] => Array
                    (
                        [id] => 2
                        [order_id] => 9
                        [product_id] => 46
                        [quantity] => 2
                        [price] => 31.98
                    )

                [2] => Array
                    (
                        [id] => 3
                        [order_id] => 9
                        [product_id] => 48
                        [quantity] => 1
                        [price] => 7.99
                    )

                [3] => Array
                    (
                        [id] => 4
                        [order_id] => 9
                        [product_id] => 51
                        [quantity] => 1
                        [price] => 13.99
                    )

            )

    )

)

Now the part i am having trouble with is getting the products that relate to the order_items.
So far it has worked for me because i have been doing thinking like this
$order = Order::find($id)->with('customer','orderItem')->get()->toArray();

This works easy because an order has a customer_id field and an order_items has an order_id. But for me to get the products i need to join products to order_items.
If any one is good at MYSQL and can provide me a query to study and then convert into laravel that would be great.
If anyone knows laravel 5, well this is all the laravel stuff below:
Order.php

public function customer(){
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Customer');
}

public function orderItem(){
    return $this->hasMany('App\OrderItem');
}

OrderItem.php

public function order(){
    $this->belongsTo('App\Order');
}

public function product(){
    $this->hasOne('App\Product');
}

Product.php

public function orderitem(){
    $this->hasOne('App\OrderItem');
}

Customer.php

public function orders(){
    $this->belongsTo('App\Order');
}

As you can see above are my modal relationships i have set up.
This is my controller where i try to get the full array.
public function show($id)
{
    $order = Order::find($id)->with('customer','orderItem','product')->get()->toArray();

    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($order);
    echo "</pre>";
}

The error i receive is:
 call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::product()

If i remove the ->with('customer','orderItem','product') and change it to ->with('customer','orderItem') i get the array posted above.
Does anyone know how i can achieve this please?

A: You are on the right part the only mistake you are doing is you are calling product on the order model which has no direct relation with it. You have to call the product model through the orderitem model like this
   Order::find($id)->with('customer','orderItem.product')->get()->toArray()

I edited the wp-config.php according to the instructions on wpmudev. I receive the following notice in Plugs/Drop-ins; Executed before Multisite is loaded. Inactive: Requires define('SUNRISE', true); in wp-config.php.
This code text is different than the website. I tried this code as well but the notice does not go away.
TYIA for help with this.
Hey Eric, are you still having issues after Mark de Scande suggestions.
Let us know how you get on and if you need further help here.
What is (Dont for get /home/blogline/public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/multi-domains-files) for? I don't have this file structure. I am running Windows xAMP Bitnamit Stack. There was no mention of doing anything with the multi-domains-files in the instructions. Where would I put them?
Yes, I have the multi-domains-files folder. I am not sure what you mean by "down load it again to your computer extract the contents and then upload it again"
sunrise.php Executed before Multisite is loaded. Inactive: Requires define('SUNRISE', true); in wp-config.php.
I ran the plugin any. I created a new domain and site. I can access the site but cannot log in, which is probably due to sunrise not loading properly.
There is no public_html folder.
So other than the paths being different I believe I have it setup right.
I am not using domain-mapping, but I may in the future.
Many, many thanks to Mark for solving my problem, which was some typo stuff.
Hey Mark, excellent support here! Way to go!
What typo stuff was this?
Mark mentioned something about backticks?
I had copied the code directly from the webpage, which evidently didn't work.
Ya I see that. Its good in our editor but it is how it appears on the front end.
Thanks for getting back to me, I will write a note on there about this.


Why worship? What's the point? God has made each of us just as we are and given us everything we have. We worship and give thanks for all we have been given. When we gather for worship [services], we share in corporate worship with everyone else there. Worship helps us grow in faith, share good news and sorrow, and praise and thank God together. It encourages us to ask, "What is God up to here?"
What happens in worship? The Lutheran church follows a liturgy, in which everyone participates.In fact, that is what liturgy means: the work of the people. Our services can be divided into four sections: Gather, Word, Meal, Sending.
Word: We hear the Bible readings for the day and listen to a sermon that helps us understand what those readings mean for us in our lives. We sing together as response to the Word we have heard, affirm our faith together and pray for all the people of God wherever they may be. We share the peace of God with those around us.
Meal: We give our offerings of money to the church so that we invest in the mission of the whole-wide church. We share in communion - a foretaste of the heavenly feast to come, and give thanks for communing together.
Sending: We receive a blessing, sing a song that will send us out into the world to share our faith and serve others. We verbally commit to go out to serve.
Who can come to worship? Everyone! All are welcome at Trinity. Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ is welcome for communion at the Lord's Table. Questions are welcome because that is how we learn and grow in both faith and service.
How will I find my way? A map to our church building is located here.
Our parking lots are at the north and east sides of our building. Main entrances are on the north and south sides, with people to greet you at each entrance. Inside, we have coffee and a few goodies before worship where we greet and welcome each other.
We will make sure you find a place to sit, have a bulletin to follow the order of worship, and assist you as we worship. If you have questions, feel free to talk with anyone around you. We look forward to the time we see you in worship with us.
Worship at Trinity is the main part of what we do together as a church community. It binds us together as family and gives us strength and encouragement for the week ahead. Come, be a part of us, and find your church home and family here.

After months of dodging, and after years of raising questions about President Barack Obama's birthplace, Donald Trump's campaign is asserting that the GOP presidential nominee no longer doubts that Obama was born in the United States.
In a statement Thursday night, his campaign communications director said Trump believes the issue is settled. In "Trumpian" fashion, the statement claims Trump "did a great service to the President and the country" by raising doubts about Obama's birthplace, which led to Obama releasing his "long form" birth certificate in 2011 proving his Hawaiian birth.
Earlier Thursday, Trump once again declined to weigh in personally on the issue. He said early Friday he would clarify the matter himself in a "major statement" at around 10am local time.
The campaign statement seeks to whitewash years of Trump statements that continue to raise doubts about Obama's eligibility to serve as President — a controversy long viewed as racially tinged by even Obama detractors — and blames Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for raising the issue in the first place.
"Hillary Clinton's campaign first raised this issue to smear then-candidate Barack Obama in her very nasty, failed 2008 campaign for President," Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in the statement.
Friday morning, Trump told Fox Business, "We have to keep the suspense going, OK?" But he then said he'll be making a "major statement" about the controversy, Politico reports.
Clinton herself took to Twitter to attack Trump for his birther history, calling it "racist," but didn't address Trump's claim that she began the birther issue.
Obama released his long-form birth certificate just days before the 2011 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, in which both the President and comedian Seth Meyers lambasted the reality-television star and businessman for his comments questioning Obama's birthplace.
In 2011, Trump claimed that he had sent investigators to Hawaii in a bid to show that Obama's birth certificate was fraudulent, calling it "one of the greatest cons of all time." "I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding," Trump continued at the time, though he never offered any evidence of their supposed findings.
For Trump, the issue was hardly settled in 2011, as his campaign now claims. Trump continued to spread conspiracy theories about Obama's place of birth even after the release.
Trump's personal silence on the issue all but assures that he will continue to face questions about the "birther" controversy over the remainder of the presidential campaign.
Earlier this month, Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, said he had no doubts about Obama's birthplace, drawing contrast with the top of the ticket.

The mission of the MA in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling Psychology program is to provide its participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent in counseling psychology through academic and experiential learning.
The program aims at educating future psychologists who have sound knowledge of the theory and practice of counseling psychology, who are competent consumers and creative producers of social science research, who are competent in counseling practice, and who are ethical and sensitive to the cultures, values, and worlds of various clients.
Viewing research and practice as interdependent and mutually supporting, the MA in psychology with an emphasis in counseling psychology program is based on the scientist-practitioner training model. The program is committed both (1) to preparing counseling psychologists for advanced doctoral studies in psychology and (2) to providing training and experience that prepare students for practice. Its goal is to train psychologists who have a sound knowledge of the bases of counseling and psychotherapy. Adopting a multicultural perspective, the program also emphasizes the importance of multicultural competence in both research and practice.
The MA in psychology with an emphasis in counseling psychology is only available at the Webster Vienna and Leiden campuses. To qualify as a professional psychologist or psychotherapist, a student may be required to complete additional education and licensure proceedings, depending on the national requirements of the country in which they wish to work.
For example: To qualify as a professional psychologist in The Netherlands, students must have both a bachelor and a master degree in psychology. To qualify as Gezondheidszorg Psycholoog (professional psychologist) in The Netherlands further post-master´s level training is necessary.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to:
Explain the main approaches to counseling and psychotherapy and the role of the therapeutic relationship.
Describe important theories of human development and examine their significance to counseling psychology.
Discuss the major categories of psychological disorders and use this knowledge to assess and diagnose psychopathology.
Describe the mechanisms of action for a variety of psychopharmacological agents and evaluate the role of psychopharmacology in counseling psychology.
Describe the importance of professional ethics and demonstrate how ethical standards and legal requirements are relevant to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy.
Administer and interpret various widely-used psychological tests.
Construct the appropriate research design, collect data and implement the necessary statistical techniques to answer re-search questions relevant to counseling psychology which adds to the discipline.
Demonstrate practical counseling skills that can be applied to individuals and groups to address a broad range of issues and settings.
Integrate theory, experience, behavioral observation and analysis to systematically enhance counseling knowledge and skills.
Evaluate the appropriateness of various counseling approaches to different cultures, values, and worldviews of various clients and choose appropriate approaches.
The MA in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling Psychology is fully accredited in the U.S.
Upon completion graduates of the MA in Psychology (emphasis in counseling psychology) can apply to the Dutch Psychological Society (NIP) (opens in new tab) and Nuffic (opens in new tab) for recognition of this U.S. accredited degree. The NIP and Nuffic will then inform graduates how this degree equates within the Dutch system but only after completion of the degree.
This MA degree is fully accredited in the U.S., and graduates can continue with their professional psychology training in the U.S. This program is not Dutch accredited and does not lead to a degree based on the Dutch Law (Wet op het Hoger Onderwijs).
Other countries recognize U.S. accreditations. This means this MA in Counseling Psychology counts toward the professional psychologist training in many countries. The exact training requirements differ across countries.

This book contains the 101 insights Bobb Biehl has turned to most frequently over his 35 year career as an executive mentor. Everyone at some point is called to be a leader. The principles contained in this book are applicable to any Christian's life.
Leading With Confidence
Leading with Confidence is Bobb Biehl's time-tested guidebook to 30 essential leadership areas. Biehl covers topics such as coping with change, depression, failure, fatigue, and pressure. He shares insight into developing skills such as asking, dreaming, goal setting, prioritizing, risk taking, influencing, money managing, personal organization, problem solving, decision making, and communicating, as well as difficult subjects like how to be more effective at delegating, firing, reporting, team building, people building, recruiting, master planning, and motivating.
Leading With Confidence has been a very practical aid in my work in Eastern Europe for over 25 years. It is still important now as a member of a global church movements team. After the Bible, it has been the most helpful book I have used over the years.
—Virgil Anderson, vicepresident of global church movements, Campus Crusade for Christ International
Mentoring: Confidence in Finding a Mentor and Becoming One
If you would like to be a mentor, or find a mentor, but don't know where to start, Bobb Biehl's book is an excellent place to start. Biehl explains clearly what mentors do and do not do, the nature of the mentor and protege relationship, the most common roadblocks to effective mentoring, and much more.
Mentoring: Confidence in Finding a Mentor and Becoming One brings a totally new level of clarity to the practical aspects of mentoring.
—Josh McDowell, author and speaker, Josh McDowell Ministry

Home >> Human Geography >> Italy 362 to The Continents The Globe >> Italy 362_P1
people, city, naples, buried, rome and time
ITALY 362. The city of Naples.—Let us take a glimpse at Naples, tilt largest city of Italy. It seems to be as full of people . as New York. So nar row are some of the streets that carts can not pass each other. Everywhere there are crowds of dark skinned, black-haired people who dress very much as we do, ex cept that they wear brighter color's. A hand organ plays a lively tune, and chil dren dance in the street, in and out among the passing people.
363. A volcano and a buried city.--From a high hill on the edge DI the city we look away over the beautiful Bay of Naples. To the southward we see the volcano Vesuvius. A column of smoke rises from it and hangs above it like a cloud. A few years ago, this cloud, which is really dust and is called volcanic ash, was blown nine miles by the south wind and fell on the city of Naples like snow.
The people had hard work keeping it shov eled off their house roofs so that its weight would not break them. Once, in the year 79 A. D., this volcano sent out such showers of ash that it buried a city called Pompeii, near where Naples now is.
This buried city is so interesting that we must visit it. Pompeii was built by the Romans, the people who lived in Italy at the time of Christ. After having been buried for many hundred years, it was uncovered, and its ruins tell us many things about the people who built it. We can now walk along its streets, paved nineteen hundred years ago, and see the stone walls of beau tiful houses in which lived the educated people of that time. We see pictures on the walls, statues, fine vases, dishes of pottery and metal, and many other things made and used nearly two thousand years ago.
364. Crops from lava.—These ancient ash showemhave now turned into rich, vol canic soil that grows vegetables for the Naples market. Many people owning little farms near Vesuvius and Pompeii live in villages built of lava stones. There are orange trees in the yards, and English walnut trees along the good stone roads. Nuts from these walnut trees are sent to New York every autumn.
Between Naples and Rome, we see fields of grape vines (vineyards) and many fields of wheat and hay. The women are work ing in the fields with the men. The hay is cut with scythes, for the Italians do not seem to be very fond of machinery. The wagons are drawn by big, slow, white oxen, with long, dangerous-looking horns.
365. Rome and Florence.—In the old city of Rome we find many Americans and other foreigners who have come to see the famous art galleries, the beautiful buildings, and the ruins of the palaces, theaters, temples, and other public build ings made by the Romans long ago. For several hundred years Rome was the capital of the great Roman Empire, which ruled all the people then living in the countries on the shores of the Med iterranean Sea.
Rome is now the capital of the King dom of Italy and the place where the Italian Parliament meets. It is also the home of the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic church.
The city of Flor ence is famous for her splendid art galleries, her beautiful build ings, and the plaiting of straw.
366. A hilly country.—Unlike England and France, most of Italy is hilly or moun tainous. (See Fig. 356.) You have seen that in the Apennines the land could be used only by making terraces on the steep hillsides, or letting trees grow. In many parts of Italy, the steep hillsides have been plowed so many times that the rain has washed nearly all of the good land away, and people there can no longer raise good crops.
Even the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily are hilly. In eastern Sicily, Mt.
Etna, a large volcano, two miles high, has poured its lava for fifteen miles in all directions. Much of this lava is so old that it has turned into rich soil. The slopes of the mountain are therefore gen erally covered with farms and orchards.
Countries that have active volcanoes usually have earth quakes also. From time to time build ings are shaken down in southern Italy. In the city of Mes sina in 1911, many thousands of people were buried under falling walls in a terrible earthquake.
From "Human Geography" by Russell Smith (1921)


"Social media" can be a fantastic resource for connecting with people and keeping a peripheral awareness of the comings and goings of a wide circle but it can also be one of the most socially destructive things on the planet. As well as sharing personal information much more broadly than is expected, it encourages dependency to the point of addiction and a constant comparison of the totality of your own life and achievements with the highlights of other people.
It is a topic I've heard increasingly addressed in Christian circles. At an event like Soul Survivor, you can expect at least a few things directly addressing the topic (and plenty more references to show that the addiction is strong there too… be wary of it and sign up for our social media). I'm trying to remember if I have heard someone using the verse from Proverbs (18:24) that I came back across this week: "A man of too many friends comes to ruin…" (NASB)?

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are officially getting divorced
The power couple Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z announced on March 25, 2015 that they will be filing for divorce.
The couple is separated at the moment, and will continue to live together until everything is figured out, a close source told ABC News.
"We have been going through a lot of problems in our marriage for months now. We have tried to keep our private life, private, but I think it is time for us to tell everyone about the divorce," said Beyoncé.
Beyoncé also said that fights started frequently happening between them after the elevator incident between her sister Solange Knowles and Jay-Z.
Footage tape released by The Standard Hotel showed Solange violently beating Jay-Z. Solange was angry after seeing Rachel Roy getting too close to Jay-Z at the Met Gala. Solange told Roy to back off, but she did not.
Solange recently admitted that things between Jay-Z and the Knowles family have not been the same. Even though he did attend Solange's wedding, there was still tension.
Beyoncé has also been taking many little vacations to get away from the stress and the countless fights between her and her husband. She usually takes her and Jay-Z's three-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, with her. A close friend said that she hates nothing more than fighting with her husband in front of Blue.
Fights usually happened over not spending enough time with each other, Jay-Z's strained relationship with his wife's family, and different ideas of raising Blue.
"Jay-Z wants Blue to be more sheltered and does not like having her in the public eye at all. Obviously I do not want my daughter to have the whole world know all of her business, but that is the kind of life she was born into, I can't change that. So I feel like it is better if she is aware of the life she is going to be living now. But Jay does not see it like that," said Beyoncé, in an interview with Barbara Walters.
A big decision that will have to be made is who will gain custody of Blue Ivy. Obviously, both want custody, so the judge will have to decide which singer will get Blue.
"I still love Beyoncé and I always will, that's just a fact. I wish I could say that we are just going through a rough patch, but we have been dragging this on for too long. It is a toxic relationship for our whole entire family. There is nothing we can do about it," Jay-Z said.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have an estimated net worth of about 1 billion dollars. Together, they have 40 albums and have won over 40 Grammys.
What do you think of the power couples' decision to file for divorce?
April Fools!!! Beyoncé and Jay-Z are NOT filing for divorce or are not separated, thank god. You can now go on with your life knowing that this was all a joke and your favorite power couple is still happily married.

Making STEM content and activities accessible for all learners, including those with disabilities, is essential to truly broaden participation in STEM. During the NSF Next Generation STEM Forum in November 2015, a session on Assistive Technologies for Learning: Broadening Participation in STEM brought together experts in the field to discuss the current state of accessibility in STEM education and how multiple representations, as mentioned in CAST's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, can make learning more accessible. The December 2015 Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) webinar, below, addressed how visualizations and othe representations can be used to communicate math concepts for English learners.
This month, we highlight additional resources available on accessibility and inclusion. For instance, the March 2016 blog post by a former ITEST PI discusses a current project that uses haptics to provide feedback to visually-impaired students. Second, a report by the Center for the Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE), entitled, "Inclusion, Disabilities, and Informal Science Learning" offers a theoretical framework for thinking about inclusion of people with disabilities in informal science education. Next, the ITEST Idea Brief on Accessibility provides a concise, information-rich reference that reveals what inclusive programs can look like and offers some practical tips for getting there. For specific examples, Freedom Machines shows a curriculum, discussion guide, and lesson plans centered on inclusivity with examples of adults and students with disabilities using technology. As well, the Invention Factory offers another example of an ITEST project that focuses on accessibility.
For additional resources on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the Community for Advancing Discovery Research in Education (CADRE) held a workshop on UDL during a STEM Smart Workshop in February 2016. To learn more about the concept of UDL, access the UDL primer on the Center for Innovative Research in Cyberlearning (CIRCL) website.
(Blog) Building on the work of her ITEST project, Dr. Darrah has created eTouchSciences, a company that provides educational software utilizing haptic technology, which provides real-time tactile feedback to visually impaired students as they explore math and science lessons.
(Opportunities) This webinar will present current research findings that demonstrate the importance of language proficiency for math learning among English learner students.
(Publications) Inclusion, Disabilities, and Informal Science Learning, a report by the CAISE Access Inquiry Group, offers a theoretical framework for thinking about inclusion of people with disabilities in informal science education (ISE), then reviews current practice in museums (broadly defined), in media and technology, and in youth and community programs.
(Curricular Materials) The Freedom Machines film, discussion guide, lesson plan, and resource guides are designed to dramatically broaden the concept of diversity for all students through telling the intimate stories of adults and children with disabilities who are using modern technologies to change their lives.

Q: Escape syntax for LESS whilst using -ms-filter: "codeNeedsVar"; I needed to be able to get a less variable into
/* Opacity */
.opacity(@opacity: 0.35){
    -moz-opacity: @opacity;
    -khtml-opacity: @opacity;
    -webkit-opacity: @opacity;
    opacity: @opacity;
    @ieOpacity: @opacity * 100;
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=@ieOpacity)";
    filter: ~"alpha(opacity=@ieOpacity)";
}

When this is complied the code would look like this in the .css file (Opacity=@ieOpacity)

A: The answer is simple, add @{var} so that less knows its a variable and not text
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=@{ieOpacity})";

Once upon a time in the Belgian town of Liège, the postal system was taken over, briefly, by cats.
Cats are notoriously intelligent creatures - and it shouldn't come as a surprise to most cat lovers that cats have been helping humans out for centuries. From keeping crops free of mice and rats in ancient Egypt to helping patrol our more modern-day streets for crime, cats have a knack for some landing some pretty awesome jobs. One cat even made it to space!
But as intelligent and skilled as cats are, we know that even our feline friends have their limitations. Which is why when a city in 1870s Belgium decided to use cats to deliver mail, a system that relies on a timeline that doesn't exactly suit the ideal 17-hour sleep schedule of a cay … well, it should come as no surprise that it was relatively short-lived.
Nevertheless, in the 1870s, the city of Liège, Belgium hired a grand 37 cats to deliver mail. Messages were to be tied around the cats' necks in waterproof bags to prevent any damage to the letters. The idea was to allow the citizens of Liège and surrounding villages to easily communicate with each other.
"Unless the criminal class of dogs undertakes to waylay and rob the mail-cats, the messages will be delivered with rapidity and safety," The New York Times reported. One particularly dedicated feline delivered his letter safe and sound in less than five hours! However, the other felines took up to a day to deliver mail to their own homes, preferring a leisurely stroll and maybe a saucer of milk along the way.
Apparently, cats aren't too interested at sticking to a schedule that isn't set by their catnap needs. Who could have guessed? It's unclear exactly how long this kitty-cat mail service lasted, but it did come to an end because cats turned out to be thoroughly undisciplined - at least when it comes to delivering mail!
Here in the USA, I can't imagine anyone complaining about one-day mail delivery. Bring back the cats!
I'm surprised they even thought it would work!
I'm so down to start this again!

Natchitoches Central High School is a public high school in Natchitoches, Louisiana, United States. It is governed by the Natchitoches Parish School Board.

The development of Natchitoches Central High School, like so many schools in the 1960s and early 1970s, began with Federal Court orders to desegregate the two major existing high schools in the city of Natchitoches. To insure smooth transition, the faculties of both Central High School and Natchitoches High School attended a workshop at Northwestern State University to develop curricula, attitudes, and the necessary internal organizations to promote the total school.

The Natchitoches Parish School System was placed under another court order in 1981 to further desegregate its schools. This led to massive consolidation and assigned 10th through 12th grade students from Natchitoches, Allen, Provencal, Marthaville, and Robeline into the new Natchitoches Central High School facility. Ninth grade students were housed at a nearby facility named Natchitoches Ninth Grade Center and operated under a separate administration. Cooperative planning, with reorganization of scheduling and curriculum, was necessary to insure a smooth transition of faculties, students, and communities into the new educational endeavor.

In 1989, Cloutierville High School was closed and those students were assigned to Natchitoches Central High School.

In November 1992, Natchitoches Central High School was one of five Louisiana public high schools nominated for the Blue Ribbon Schools Excellence in Education Award in a national program sponsored by the United States Department of Education.
