Q: How to run playbook api in Ansible v2 with vault Here is what I have, I know this works without encryption and I can run

ansible-vault edit common.yml

with

ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=~/.vault_pass.txt

set in the env.
from collections import namedtuple
from ansible.parsing.dataloader import DataLoader
from ansible.vars import VariableManager
from ansible.inventory import Inventory
from ansible.playbook import Playbook
from ansible.executor.playbook_executor import PlaybookExecutor

variable_manager = VariableManager()
loader = DataLoader()

inventory = Inventory(loader=loader, variable_manager=variable_manager,  host_list='playbooks/hosts')
playbook_path = 'playbooks/' + PROJECT + '.yml'

Options = namedtuple('Options', ['connection',  'forks', 'become', 'become_method', 'become_user', 'check', 'listhosts', 'listtasks', 'listtags', 'syntax', 'module_path', 'vault_password_file'])
options = Options(connection='ssh', forks=5, become=None, become_method=None, become_user=None, check=False, listhosts=False, listtasks=False, listtags=False, syntax=False, module_path="", vault_password_file=os.environ['ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE'])

variable_manager.extra_vars = {'CAP_VERSION': CAP_VERSION, 'cluster': PROJECT + '-' + ENVIRONMENT, 'environ': ENVIRONMENT, 'rpm': rpmSource, 'VRSN': ARTI_BRANCH }

passwords = {}

pbex = PlaybookExecutor(playbooks=[playbook_path], inventory=inventory, variable_manager=variable_manager, loader=loader, options=options, passwords=passwords)
results = pbex.run()

It fails to decrypt the common.yml

A: In ansible 2.2.2 (not sure about other versions since the API can change frequently):
You can manually set the password in the python script like so:
loader = DataLoader()
loader.set_vault_password('mypass')

Or you could load the password from your vault password file:
import os
loader = DataLoader()
with open('{}/.vault_pass.txt'.format(os.path.expanduser('~')), 'r') as file:
    loader.set_vault_password(file.read().splitlines()[0])

You can skip importing os and just put in your absolute path to the .vault_pass.txt file.
If you are sure your ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE is set in env:
import os
loader = DataLoader()
with open(os.environ['ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE'], 'r') as file:
    loader.set_vault_password(file.read().splitlines()[0])

Sisters of Providence share LCWR statement on tensions between the United States and North Korea
Jennifer E. Roseman, Communications & Development Director
The provincial and council of the Sisters of Providence, Mother Joseph Province, were participants at the recent annual assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando, Florida, when the following statement on the tensions between the governments of the United States and North Korea was issued. "We support this call for dialogue and negotiation to avert a crisis," said Provincial Superior Judith Desmarais.
LCWR Statement on the US-DPRK Crisis
During the week of August 8-11, while tensions between the governments of the United States and the People's Republic of Korea quickly escalated, approximately 650 members of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious meeting in Orlando, Florida, issued a public statement imploring President Donald J. Trump to engage in dialogue and negotiation.
At this critical moment for our country and global community, we — the 650 members of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious gathered in assembly — have discerned the Gospel call to embody love for the sake of the world. We believe that love is more powerful than fear, dialogue more productive than rhetoric, and connection more transformative than threats of destruction.
We call on President Trump to engage in constructive dialogue and negotiation to resolve the current crisis between the governments of the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in a manner that guarantees the peace and security that all people seek.
We commit ourselves to promote nonviolence and a compassionate response to the thirst of the world for integrity and communion.
LCWR is an association of leaders of congregations of Catholic women religious in the United States. The conference has nearly 1,300 members who represent more than 38,800 women religious in the United States. Founded in 1956, LCWR assists its members to collaboratively carry out their service of leadership to further the mission of the Gospel in today's world.
Sister Judith said LCWR members at the assembly inviting them to "be the presence of love" were moved to make a statement on the deepening crisis between the two governments. The statement was affirmed in spirit by the body on August 11, approved by the LCWR board on August 12, and released to the press today. It has been sent to President Trump at the White House.

I caught a Q44-SBS with these last night. I have to say, these are a huge improvement over the ones installed on the M34SBS when that was first tested. The only issues are with A-suffixed Bus transfers. Bx4A sounds like Bx4-uh so if the program is anything like Microsoft speech, then typing Ay or something of the like would fix it.
What I also love is that at certain transfers, it tells you how far your bus is from the transfer, so you'll know if your going to make it or not. Despite this being a test and that kinks are gonna be worked out, I am pretty satisfied with the current status and look forward to the advancements.

The only advantage to the Clever Device test on the M34 & 34A (former M16) was that the announcements were pre-recorded by Sara Weaver and even after the transition to Select Bus Service, the announcements were updated as needed.
Hopefully the robotic TTS voiceover is just temporary and that Weaver would return to record new voice-over announcements to blend seamlessly with her existing CleverDevice IVN PAs (e.g. "Please Exit Thru The Rear Door", "Welcome to NY! It's a MetroCard city!", etc.). Alternatively, WaveNet is about as close to a real voice a computer program can get.
I don't know if I would call that an advantage. Having to bring in a human to do it versus just typing what you want said into a keyboard.
True. On the one hand it'll be much more time consuming to make new voice clips specifically for NYC Bus routes than having a TTS program on hand to make the announcements.
On the other hand I wouldn't think (or least hope) that pre-recorded announcements are out of the picture for the future yet. Perhaps shorter clips can be used and recylced from other transit agencies that Ms. Weaver has recorded for in the past (such as NJT or NICE; both systems combined have just a few thousand more bus stops than NYC alone).

As Laura Holland saw it, it was almost like being a pioneer.
"It felt like that," said Holland, an artist and a member of the A3 collective as she stood in the Amherst gallery recently, which has just reopened this month after being shut down since March 2020 because of the pandemic.
"It seemed a little strange at first to be back inside, hanging the art, having people come into the building," she said. "I felt a little out of step."
Now Holland and Janet W. Winston, another A3 member, are trailblazing the downtown gallery's return to in-person art, with a dual exhibit, "Inward & Outward," that runs through July 31. Their shared show, which was supposed to open last spring under a different title, combines paintings, prints and collages by Winston and accordion-book art by Holland, who's also a photographer.
Though some other art galleries in the region opened last fall, albeit still with various safety protocols in place such as limits on the number of visitors, A3 members wrestled a little longer with reopening because of the room's small size. The gallery did host regular window displays of art beginning last summer, but it took awhile to get all the members on board to reopen, Holland and Winston say.
And their show, which was originally titled "Vision," has undergone some changes in the past year. The new title itself seems an apt choice in the wake of the worst of the pandemic, reflecting the interest many have now in looking outward to the wider world — even as the isolation and separation from friends and family that so many people have experienced speaks to the inward gaze and thinking still prevalent.
Winston's half of the show represents the outward gaze, as she offers a range of pieces, created pre-pandemic, that capture the textures and colors of two places she visited: New Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
"I felt like I needed to see some different landscapes, something different to paint," she said. "I wanted to challenge myself."
She found plenty of inspiration at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico, an area of narrow canyons and "tent rocks" — narrow, conical spires of rock — about 40 miles southwest of Santa Fe. One of Winston's larger oil paintings offers a fine view up a canyon, in which segmented walls of white rock seem to lean a little precariously over the canyon floor of uneven stone and scraggly vegetation; a huge wedge of black volcanic rock sits to the left.
Another oil on canvas painting captures one of New Mexico's colorful sunsets, where towering clouds and slowly darkening sky dominate the frame; at the bottom, a rolling landscape of brown and red leads to distant mountains. Winston also used her time at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks to create smaller, somewhat more abstract paintings on wood blocks.
Her visit to the Yucatan moved her to create some collages that offer various views of Mayan ruins, as well as two colorful oil paintings and two smaller prints of cenotes, or water holes that are carved into limestone beds. The cenotes, Winston said, "are really very extraordinary … the limestone is very porous, and water creates pools of varied color."
Her oil painting "Cenote II," for instance, offers a dramatic contrast to the dry landscapes of New Mexico. What at first glance seems an abstract swirl of blue, purple, yellow and other colors reveals views of tiny fish, fallen leaves and waving underwater plants.
Holland's experience during the pandemic led her to recast her work for the new exhibit. Her "Inward" half of the show is centered on her largest accordion book, a 16-panel affair she calls "Stay-at-Home Still Lives."
"Once I was stuck at home, I started noticing all these things I never really paid much attention to, small things, that I wanted to photograph," she said. Her husband likes to eat hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, she said, so normally there'd be eggshells and shell fragments left over that would typically be discarded. But she "looked at them more closely now, and I thought, 'These are beautiful,'" she said.
In "Stay-at-Home Still Lives," then, Holland has assembled photos of eggshells and other kitchen discards — tea bags, orange and lemon rinds and slices, a few carrot pieces — and some more abstract images such as swirls of soapy water in the sink and coupled them with text in her accordion book, which traces a zig-zag path about 10 feet long down a shelf along one wall in Gallery A3.
Holland, a freelance writer who also has taught writing at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, says accordion books essentially combine her interest in writing and visual art and are another way of telling a story.
For "Inward and Outward," she has constructed some smaller accordion books as well, including two based on photographs she took: one of the interior of a typewriter and another of a stringed instrument (the latter was invented by the late Vermont musicologist Gunnar Schonbeck and displayed some years back at Mass MoCA).
Holland than altered the photographs to give them a more painterly look, printed them on paper and, as exhibit notes explain, cut and folded the photos, reassembling them onto the pages of the accordion books to push the art "further to abstraction."
You can see "Inward & Outward" through July 31 at Gallery A3. New visiting hours are 3-7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. For the moment, there will be limited capacity — four visitors at a time — and visitors are also asked to wear face masks. A new ventilation system has been added to increase safety.

When I entered the Bridge, I saw Tom Lewis sitting in my seat at the helm. I paused for a moment, hoping not to startle the young man. He was twenty-three years old, a fresh graduate from Starfleet Academy, when he joined us on the Defiant one year ago. That trip had been his first - and last - away mission.
Tom was a competent and fairly reliable science officer, but his knowledge came from books rather than experience, and he spent most of his time here on Gaia trying to get our unique circumstances to fit one of the textbook definitions he had memorized at the Academy. I admired his enthusiasm, understood his longing for home, and hated myself for wanting him to give up on his attempts to return.
I frowned, "Jadzia, please. No titles, remember?"
"Yes, ma'am, I mean, Jadzia."
I smiled at him; it was hard for him - and others - to adjust to Benjamin's order to do away with Starfleet ranks. In time, Benjamin reasoned we would no longer follow a Starfleet way of life; dispensing with formalities would allow us to better work as a team.
"What are you doing, Tom?" I asked, coming over to his side. His face flushed pink in the dim light.
"I was just coming to check on that," I said. "See anything interesting?"
"No, um, but I, um, came up with a new equation."
"A new equation?" I tried to keep my voice even and calm. "Tom?"
"I know, I know," he said. "Lo-look here. It's re-really quite simple."
He punched a few buttons on the console and brought up his latest theory. I studied it, giving it the attention I knew Tom deserved.
"You used the Camilek Principle," I said. "That's not an easy thing to wrap one's mind around."
Tom beamed, "I-I did my senior honor thesis on the Cam-Camilek Principle."
"It appears you learned it well."
"It-It makes sense," Tom said eagerly. In his excitement, his stutter all but vanished. "We can create equal and opposite temporal anomalies. The attraction between the two will create a temporary wormhole leading back to the initial moment when we were first sent back in time."
The initial moment. I closed my eyes, steadying myself with a hand on the back of Tom's chair.
In my mind, the whole scene replayed itself in vivid color, almost as if I was sitting at the helm, guiding us back through the energy barrier.
"Sorry," I said. "I was just thinking back to the moment when we collided into the anomaly."
"I've been reading the sensor logs," Tom said.
"You noted an increase in the tachyon particle ratio as the Defiant's angle of ascent leveled off," he said, his face growing animated as he spoke.
"If we use inertial dampers to compensate for the increase, we can apply Camilek to get us out of here. What do you think?"
I leaned forward to study his work, "Have you compensated for the window of collapse?"
"Not really," Tom confessed. "I couldn't figure out how to cushion it so we could create the exact anomalies; I could only come up with an approximation. But it could still work, couldn't it?"
"Tom," I said quietly. "We've been over this before. We can't approximate. If you don't know what the radii of the anomalies have to be, then we take the chance of the wormhole collapsing on us before we make it back to our point of origin."
Tom's fingers flew over the console, rapidly punching in formulas. After a few minutes, he turned to look back at me, his head cocked slightly to the side.
"If I increase the magnitude of the anomalies to create a larger wormhole, we would have more time to journey through wormhole."
"Can you tell me with certainty how large those anomalies would have to be?" I asked again, my voice growing sharper with impatience.
Tom looked down at his fingers still splayed across the console.
"Tom, we can't take chances. You can't arbitrarily assign values to temporal phenomena. It doesn't work that way. One miscalculation and we risk getting hurled back even further in the past or we could be sent four hundred years in the future. Either way, we risk jeopardizing the timeline. We can't do anything that will change it. Do you understand?"
"I suppose if I compare the before and after-"
"Tom," I interrupted. "It doesn't work like that. Don't you think we looked at this possibility?"
My tone was harsher than I had intended, but it was difficult for me to maintain my equanimity. The hopeful expression in his eyes echoed those I had seen so often in my fellow crewmembers. That look tormented my waking hours and kept me awake at night.
Tom turned away, looking back down at his console, as if the answers would magically appear from beneath his fingers.
And then I looked at him. Really looked at him and saw a young man with reddening cheeks, eyes pooling with water, and a jaw biting down hard.
I laid my hand gently on his shoulder, regretting the unsympathetic tone I had taken. To tell the truth, O'Brien and I had looked at the Camilek Principle almost immediately when we were actively searching for a way to get home; uncertainty in the science had forced us to abandon the most promising theory we had at our disposal.
"It's okay, Tom," I said gently. "I know it's hard. It's hard for all of you."
"I thought this theory would work. In the books, it seemed like it would work."
"There's a difference between theory and reality, Tom. Edgar Camilek never encountered a magnetic barrier like this one before. There are variables we cannot always explain, forces we could never have predicted when we first proposed the theory."
"Does this mean there is no hope?"
"I wouldn't put it that way," I hesitated. "Tom, Captain Sisko - Benjamin - has made the decision to stay here. Even if we could find a way to make your idea work, we no longer have the resources to repair the Defiant. You know that."
Tom bit his lip; I squeezed his shoulder.
"It's all right, Tom," I said. "I'm glad you tried. We can use the data you collected for other experiments. There is a wealth of scientific knowledge we can gain from the barrier and from this planet."
He nodded and then slid out of the chair.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time, Commander."
"No," I said. "I enjoyed our conversation. In fact, I'm glad you are here, since I'm going to need help with some scans I'm running. Do you have a minute?"
Tom nodded, "I would be happy to help."
Tom was long gone when I finished collecting the data from my scans; he had helped for a couple of hours before he to return for a shift in the mess hall. I rubbed my temples with my fingers and then moved back to massage my shoulders and neck, trying to ease the tension in those muscles. I rolled my head to the side and then back again.
I could not tell how long I had been here on the Defiant; the chronometer had been disabled around the same time we took that uncaring and taunting computer voice offline.
I got up from my seat and took a long look around the Bridge. Some of the equipment had never been repaired since we crashed, including the console where Kira had been sitting.
A day did not pass when I didn't think of Kira. More than anything else, I blamed myself for her death, knowing if I had not insisted on investigating the planet, she would still be alive today.
To her credit, Kira never complained about her situation; she never even acknowledged she was dying until the last four or five days of her life. Rather, she was her fiery self, arguing with Sisko and Worf about pretty much everything. She was also the only one who had spent time with Odo, talking to him, when no one else had the time to sit down and explain what was happening.
Days after we had buried Kira, Julian finally remembered to tell Odo. Julian told me that Odo's golden gelatinous surface rippled as he broke the news and then Odo was still.
I touched the console where Kira had been sitting and then moved over to Worf's station. His screen was frozen on the readings that told us we had been hurled back in time.
I whirled around to face O'Brien.
"Sorry if I startled you," he said. He held up a clunky metal object. "I finished the water pump."
"That's good news," I said, recovering my composure. I took the pump in my hands and turned it over. It was rather heavy, silver in color, and featured a lever on one side and a spout on the other. It had been constructed out of an alloy mixture, manerite, most commonly used to build bulkheads or used as protective shielding for volatile materials. From the various color variations in the metal, I gathered that O'Brien had taken the material from the casing that surrounded the Defiant's warp core. The craftsmanship, like all things O'Brien did, was precise; I was sure that no materials had been wasted in its construction.
"Looks good," I told him honestly. "How does it work?"
"Like this," O'Brien placed the pump on the console next to me. A long, slender lever extended from one end of it and directly below the lever was a thick tube with a short pipe attached to it in the middle. "You pump the handle up and down and it forces the water up through the pipe and out through the faucet."
"That simple," he confirmed. "Are you almost finished here?"
I sighed, thinking about the amount of data left to wade through.
"I've got some more to do," I told him. "But nothing I really want to get started on."
"No," I answered and I was surprised by my truthfulness. Every day, I forced myself to make the trip to the Defiant to collect the readings Sisko wanted on the energy barrier. In addition, at his request, I was also taking readings on other planetary phenomenon like shifting tectonic plates, pressure systems, and radiation levels.
Most of the time, I just downloaded the data onto a PADD and handed over to Sisko; if he ever read it, I did not know. For my part, I rarely looked at the data and never performed the type of analysis I used to do back on Deep Space Nine.

Security Logs Show No Signs that Clinton's Private Server Was Hacked
By Jonah Shepp

The FBI has reviewed the security logs from Hillary Clinton's private-email server and found no signs that foreign hackers had ever penetrated it, the New York Times reported Thursday.
Federal investigators received the logs from former Clinton staffer Bryan Pagliano, who set up the server in her Chappaqua home, one day after the Justice Department granted him immunity to secure his full cooperation in the ongoing investigation into Clinton's use of the server during her tenure as secretary of State.
The FBI and the Justice Department have finished reviewing all of the emails sent from Clinton's server and are now trying to determine whether the presence of highly classified information in those emails constitutes a crime.
Last September, the Associated Press reported that Russia-linked hackers had tried several times to gain access to the server by sending Clinton phishing emails containing malware disguised as speeding tickets, but it was not clear at the time whether she had clicked the malicious links.
Whether or not the server was hacked has no bearing on the legality of Clinton's actions, but will influence public perceptions: If it was never compromised, Clinton's use of the private server looks like more of a harmless mistake and less of a danger to national security.
The logs do not conclusively prove that the server was never successfully breached, but "computer security experts view logs as key documents when detecting hackers," the Times adds.
The State Department has said that 2,903 emails on Clinton's server contained classified material of some sort, though most of this material was deemed merely "confidential," the lowest level of classification. What's more, in most if not all cases, that low-level classification was applied retroactively.
However, 22 Clinton emails contained information that was "top secret," according to the State Department. It is not yet clear whether this material was highly classified at the time it passed through Clinton's private server. The Democratic front-runner has maintained that she never emailed contemporaneously classified material. None of the publicly available emails have contradicted that claim.

The coronavirus spreading through China is now being passed by humans
The new coronavirus that has infected more than 200 people in China has been transmitted between humans, according to Chinese health authorities.
Zhong Nanshan, who heads up China's National Health Commission, told Xinhua News Agency, China's official state-run news organization, that two cases of human-to-human transmission had been confirmed in China, one in Wuhan and one in Guangdong.
Chinese officials had initially linked the virus to large seafood market in Wuhan, China, where many of the cases originated.

It Looks Like Jaden Smith Deleted His Twitter
ByZach Frydenlund
Follow Zach on Twitter for jokes and hot takes here.
It looks like Jaden Smith, who has proved himself to be a pretty damn good rapper over the past year, just got rid of his Twitter. If you followed Jaden or even semi-used Twitter, you know why this sucks—he had some pretty incredible tweets. To make things even worse, Jaden also deleted his Facebook page and then locked his Instagram page and made it private.
Let's just hope that he comes back sooner than later and brings his fire tweets with him. In the meantime, you can take the "Jaden Smith Twitter" quiz and reminisce about the good times.

Does Chemical Drain Cleaner Cause Plumbing Pipe Corrosion?
A clog in one of your commercial or residential drain lines is cause for immediate concern. With little to no water flow, the drains connected to that line will start to back-up potentially sending gray and black water across your floors, rugs and carpets, but how should you deal with the problem? One way to deal with a clogged drain is to pour a chemical drain cleaner down the drain, but they may damage your plumbing pipes.
Drain cleaners are readily available at most grocery stores and home improvement stores, and they are easy to use. All you do is pour a certain amount of cleaner down the drain, wait for the prescribed time and flush the drain with water. The caustic drain cleaner eats through the clog.
Unfortunately, chemical drain cleaner does not know the difference between a clog and your plumbing pipes. From the moment you pour it down your drain, it starts eating away at everything it touches, and if you fail yo wear the proper protective equipment, you could get it onto your skin. Some chemical drain cleaners even emit toxic odors that can be hazardous to your health.
Caustic drain cleaners can damage pipes and cause pipe corrosion if used improperly or if the chemical fails to destroy the clog. If you plan to use drain cleaner on your plumbing pipes, make sure to read the directions and warnings completely before opening the container. If you don't understand the directions, don't use the cleaner and call a professional plumber to clear the clog.
If the drain cleaner fails to clear the clog, it will sit in your plumbing pipes and continue to work where it sits. Since the drain isn't clear, you will not be able to flush the cleaner into the main sewer system. This means you will have a caustic chemical in your drain lines until the line is cleared.
Plastic Pipes – If your drain lines are PVC or another type of plastic, never use liquid drain cleaner. The drain cleaner can eat through the plastic, allowing the caustic chemical outside of the pipe and onto other surfaces, even if you thoroughly rinse the pipe after using the chemical.
Metal Pipes – If you have old metal pipes, you should also avoid the use of caustic drain cleaners. Old metal pipes typically have corrosion and pits in the metal where the cleaner could enter and not leave, and once the cleaner is in an area where water cannot easily flush it, it will continue to eat your pipes, causing further corrosion and leans.
Instead of using a caustic drain cleaner on your drain lines, consider having them cleared by a professional plumber. If you get frequent clogs in your plumbing pipes, there could be a more serious issue, like roots in the line or severe corrosion and deterioration of the pipe. In these instances, you will want to have your drain lines visually inspected with a camera. The camera allows the plumber to see any corrosion and damage to the pipes as well as located any partial or full clogs so that they can be successfully cleared. You may even want to consider the installation of a pipe liner to deter further corrosion and ensure your pipes are completely clean.
Here at Nu Flow, we perform plumbing pipe assessments via a camera inspection. This allows our pipe lining technicians the ability to see all the corrosion, debris and partial or full clogs in your pipes, explain the findings to you, tell you if your drain lines wold be good candidates for pipe liners and provide you with an estimate for lining your pipes.
To schedule a plumbing pipe assessment to see if epoxy pipe lining would be right for your commercial or residential building, call us at 815-790-9000.

Best of 2022 | Queer wedding planning at the end of the world
I notice how our rings press against each other. We watch as the zebras stroll to a hilltop above the waves

Hello Michael & T,
Re: your atypical wedding menu —
1 entree is Indian
1 entree is Chinese
1 side is Korean
1 side is local California farm-to-table
I suggest something clean and green for the last dish (asparagus???). Might cleanse the palate after all these bold flavors.
September 10, 2021, 3:56 a.m.
Hi sweetie,
See email below from Aunt Maya about Rohingya refugees displaced by hurricanes in Bangladesh. She is doing so much for these abused people (more like traumatized for generations!). Help if you can — I know you and Michael are busy with planning.
Now with climate change we must do our part.
Love you both,
September 11, 2021, 12:24 p.m.
Greetings Michael and T,
Attached please find attached the COVID addendum to our contract. The deposit for the venue is non-refundable, but we can reschedule if necessary due to coronavirus or other Acts of God.
Sep 20, 2021, 7:12 p.m.
"What the fuck are stone fruits?" I asked and looked around the table. Michael and I sat across from our friends Mei and Jonathan. Our monthly dinners had become a support group for wedding planning. The evening sun turned the kitchen walls a dappled orange. Catering menus and the sticky remains of Chinese takeout were spread out before us.
"Peaches, I think." Mei said. She wiped sauce from the corner of a menu and squinted at the text, bringing her other hand to rest on her pregnant belly. "But don't quote me."
"That's right, babe." Jonathan said, adjusting his glasses and reaching for our plates. "And plums, cherries, raspberries. Probably a few more."
"Apricots, mangoes, nectarines, lychees." Michael added. "Queers know their fruits." He winked at me and rose to help Jonathan clear the table.
"Not immigrant queers," I said. "Fruits are the worst. Also, vegetables. I can't remember all the queens from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and the names of produce in two languages."
"Neither can I," Mei said, shaking her head. "I forget more words as I get older, too. Hopefully that's an immigrant thing and not early Alzheimer's."
"I don't think that's how Alzheimer's works. But," I said, "test me anyway."
Mei thought for a moment. The clink and splash of dishes filled the room. Then she grinned and pointed across the table.
"Watermelon!" she said. "Say 'watermelon' in Bengali."
Time slowed. I sensed Jonathan and Michael pause their washing at the sink. I noticed the tang of soy sauce lingering in the air. I searched my memories, and the silence grew taut.
It's somewhere between your teeth and your tongue.
"Shit," I said, finally. "I can almost taste it, but I can't remember the word."
Everyone nodded and the world sped up. Mei patted my arm and stood slowly, one hand supporting her lower back.
"Lucky for you, we have some sliced up in the fridge. Eating dessert might jog your memory."
October 2, 2021, 8:30 a.m.
Drowning at work today. Can you call the caterer about the last side dish? Thinking broccolini since you hate asparagus.
October 2, 2021, 5:59 p.m.
Sorry to hear you'll miss therapy. Will reach out if another appointment opens up this week. Meanwhile, feel better.
Hi Alina,
Contract attached. Quick question: do wildfires/smoke count as Acts of God? Want to make sure our families can breathe lol.
— Michael (and T)
After dinner, we hugged our friends goodbye and drove home. Michael started running a bath and I walked the dimly lit rooms of our apartment, closing curtains for the night. My head was full of fruit. In the living room, I paused with my hand on a window ledge. I closed my eyes and thought back to dinner with Mei and Jonathan, and my first bite into a slice of cool watermelon. Saliva flooded my taste buds, and my tongue shaped the word.
Tormüj, I thought.
The soft "toh" like teeth gently parting for the bite.
The "r" which arches the soft palate open.
The "müj" like lips and gums crunching into the delicate, pink sponge.
I tasted the sweet dribble that meandered down my chin. My grandmother's shawl brushed the corner of my mouth. I was five years old, and we sat at her kitchen table. The evening light shone glorious through the windows, filtered by banana leaves in her courtyard. The bangles on her wrist chimed. She gestured to a fading picture on the wall. It was a photo of her younger brother wearing a marigold wreath at his own wedding's gaye holud. He'd died before I was born, rescuing civilians in his van near the end of the war, when the military shot him. My grandmother was saying something urgent. With a small start, I realized I could no longer hear the Bengali words she spoke.
Tormüj, I thought, desperate.
Tormüj.
Down the hall, I heard the shower running. The rest of the apartment lay quiet as I turned off the lights and walked to the bedroom. I lay down and wiped my eyes. How many other fruits had I forgotten, I wondered? And how incalculable the loss.
Your leave request was denied as it was not submitted 45 days in advance. Please adjust and resubmit.
Hey girl hey,
Quick question: I know Rahul's gotten way into boudoir photography (his IG is fire). Any chance he'd want to photograph our ceremony?
Zero pressure, but T and I are trying to keep our vendors homo-exclusive ;-)
The venue offers early access to a separate bridal suite for makeup, hair, etc. (lighting is gorgeous).
October 31, 2021, 10:05 p.m.
Michael decided to stay home from the Halloween party that weekend. We'd had an intense week of discussing flowers, feelings and the merits of a drag queen at the afterparty. So, verging on burnout, I decided a solo adventure suited me just fine. I rummaged through our clothes for anything that resembled a costume.
"This one," he said, handing me a leather jacket from his side of the closet. "Go party like it's 1999."
I ran mousse through my hair, kissed him goodbye and shivered in excitement as I waited outside. A car pulled up to carry me across the Golden Gate Bridge. My boots clicked down Castro Street till I found the address. I tottered up a narrow stairwell to the warmth and noise of the third-floor apartment.
I was one of the lawyers who helped win marriage equality. And yes, the GOP can take it away
I paused at the top to pull off my cloth mask and catch my breath. I spotted the host across the room. Mark tossed the strands of a long, black wig over his shoulder and wound his way through the crowd. A purple bodysuit clung to his hips and rhinestones glittered with each swivel. Reaching me, he leaned over and pouted overdrawn lips.
"Hola, Selena!" I said. We laughed and hugged each other in the middle of the party.
"You know I had to do it, bitch," he said. "Who're you supposed to be?"
"I'm Billy Idol."
"Who's she?" He asked. "Actually, tell me later." Mark's nails scraped my palm as he pulled me to the kitchen.
"I need to show you the best thing I've gotten in the mail all month." He handed me a sweating glass of champagne and pointed to the refrigerator. There, our Save-the-Date card hung from a magnet. On it, Michael and I mugged for the camera, bowties askew. I cleared my throat.
"You're coming to the wedding, right?"
"Of course." Mark said. "Is your family?"
"Some," I said. I felt briefly dizzy, like the earth had begun to tilt underfoot.
"Good enough." He pressed his cheek to mine. "Finish your drink, Ms. Billy."
I left the kitchen and wandered the crowded apartment, feeling out of sync with the crowd. The boozy, Brownian motion of the party carried me past 30-somethings in superhero leotards and feather boas, cat ears and vampire capes. A fireman stripped to his waist for a small circle of admirers. Two Sailor Moons crooned "Like a Virgin" at the karaoke machine. A co-worker shrieked when she recognized me and leaned in for a shouted conversation. Through it all, I watched Mark's tentpole figure loom wherever he went, regal and tireless.
Feeling neither of those things, I sought the relative quiet of a bedroom. The lights were off, but the room glowed with the candles of an ofrenda at one end. I stepped closer to examine the pictures on the wooden altar. Many were familiar — Mark's mother and father striking movie-star poses in the 1980s. His grandparents smiling in the streets of their small town. The family kneeling at the church before his baptism, serious and radiant before the priest. Colorful tarot cards and drawings of skulls hung from ribbons above the photos. The whole wall glowed in amber chiaroscuro, a monument to traditions that had stretched across continents. I couldn't help but think about my own family albums, which had gathered dust on our living room shelf for years.
The fireman found me in the room sometime later. When I kissed him, his arms grew tight across my shoulders. But mostly I felt eyes on my back; the gaze of someone else's ancestors upon us.

Hey cuties,
SO delighted to DJ your wedding! Omg!
I found this Spotify list of Bollywood remixes. Can you listen? I think it's legit but Jason Derulo is on there?

Hi cuz,
Long time no talk. Saw the news on FBook and wanted to email since you don't use WhatsApp. Congrats. We are all ok. When I see Grandma she asks about you. These days with corona she is always indoors like all of us. No vaccine here but we are praying you have gotten it.

Hi Michael and T,
The food servers wear masks but aren't all vaccinated. We can try to contract with a company that mandates vaccines. This will depend on your budget of course.
December 12, 2021, 4 p.m.
We breathe deep on the drive down the coast. It's Sunday afternoon, and we've left the final walkthrough of our venue. The Pacific Coast Highway is as grand as I remember, and the seaweed scent is familiar from past rides. Only this time we aren't trying to distract ourselves from wedding stress with rolling vineyards or booming surf.
This time we're in it for the zebras.
Michael puts on a podcast about the unlikely tale. We listen to the story of how William Randolph Hearst, at the height of his megalomaniacal wealth, built Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, over a hundred years ago. How he imported a herd of wild zebras to roam the grounds with a menagerie of other non-native species. After Hearst's financial collapse, the castle closed, and many animals found themselves relocated around the country. Not so the zebras. These ran free and continue to do so. They gallop and breed on the grassy hills by the Pacific and have even evolved thick coats to better survive the frigid winters.
At this part of the story, Michael pats my knee in excitement. "Shaggy zebras! I think we'll see them."
But we circle the small seaside town for hours to uneventful views. We pass dying palm trees and small, boarded-up stores. We scan browning hillsides with binoculars, hoping for a flash of black and white stripes. We bicker, buy coffee, and raise our binoculars once more. We inquire about the zebras' whereabouts to a gas station attendant, the cashier at a local Motel 6 and a hipster baker who sells us flaky rolls.
"Haven't seen them in about five years," the gas station attendant says.
"At sunset on that hill," the cashier says. "You can see them best from the second story windows if you want a room."
"They don't come anywhere near people or buildings," the baker laughs. "I guess I wouldn't either if I didn't work here."
Two hours later, we sit in the Motel 6 parking lot eating burgers. I am thinking of saying again how much I enjoyed the drive. Then Michael sits suddenly upright, tosses his wrappers onto the dashboard, and reaches for the binoculars. A beat of silence passes as he scans the countryside, then:
"It's them. Holy shit."
"Let me see."
Through the blurry lenses I watch two animals slowly coalesce in the distance, growing clearer as they crest the hill. Soon we see more ghostly figures emerge from the brushes, some pausing to sniff the air, or to chew at the brush, before continuing towards the coast. Soon we put down the binoculars and see their stripes unaided. We count several times. Nine, we finally agree.
"It's a mini-herd," I say.
"A dazzle," he says. "It's called a dazzle of zebras. How gay is that?"
I reach for Michael's hand and interlace our fingers. For long minutes I don't think about the Bengali words I've forgotten and the queer lexicon that seeped in like rain to fill the empty spaces. I don't fret about smoke in our lungs, or refugees in the storm, or the banal anxieties of a wedding. Instead, I notice the way our rings press against each other. We watch together as the zebras stroll to a hilltop above the crashing waves. They pause their chewing and turn their gazes west, shaggy coats glistening in the last rays of the sun.

Todays meetup was on an experimental farm near Großbeeren. Lyx and relet reached the spot quite late, as their train only arrived at 4pm at Großbeeren station. We saw no sign of other geohashing species.
We walked the distance from Großbeeren station to the hash, admiring the nearby wakeboarding facility and the village of Großbeeren. They've got a quite impressive (Sixth Coalition) war memorial in the center. We came within eyesight of the hash using a service path next to the actual lot. The lot is owned by an environment research company and features several small experimental fields with different crops and vegetables - and huge swarms of birds. All participants declared that to be close enough[tm] as we weren't planning to trample the fields anyway.

Several companies join Prof. Dr. Ing. Alfred Iwainsky (Head of the Board of GFaI and longtime manager of ZIM cooperation networks) with initiatives to establish a new network. Investigations and consultations on thematic focus take several months. There is a field of tension between an orientation towards industrial applications or new technical solutions for areas of social welfare. Finally, it is possible to establish a connection between the two goal orientations, which is indicated by the title of the network:
Mobile Services – Services for Mobility.
The first part (before the dash) stands for business applications, largely independent of such social objectives, which result from impairments in the aging process of people and / or physical and mental disabilities. But the part of the title after the dash just addresses these social areas, albeit limited to the subject of mobility.
This twofold alignment of the network creates space for cross innovation. What will happen, for instance, when professionals who develop new, autonomously moving cleaning vehicles, encounter problems that has a person bound to a wheelchair?
The acquisition of partners for the new network is proceeding well. For the designated network manager (Prof. Iwainsky), it will be the largest ZIM network among those he has established since 2002.

To John Adams from John Taylor, 24 April 1814
Virga. Caroline County, port Royal April 24 1814
Lest any letter of December the 24th. last, in answer to yours of the 12th. of the same month, may not have come to hand, I mention it, in acknowledging the receipt of yours of the 9th. inst. with the discourses on Davila, you are so good as to present me. Truth having been the object of the enquiry you mention, it is a publick misfortune and a matter of regret to me; as it is hard to find and difficult to keep; that any circumstances should prevent a detection of my errors by a gentleman so well qualified for the office, both by talents and a purity of motives; especially as the inequality between the combatants would probably have called into the field, an abler champion on the side I have espoused.
The appearance of the political essay in the sixth century of the enquiry (being that you mention as composed at the request of the legislation of North Carolina) happened as follows. The original, <[. . .]> still in my possession, was given to me about thirty years past by a gentleman of that State, as a publick paper of great merit, calculated to instruct a young man, and worthy of preservation for the benefit of posterity: In revising many years afterwards, the materials I possessed for enlightening my mind as to the principles of our government, this paper presented itself, and forcibly claimed the right to which the donor supposed it to be entitled, against which claim I saw no objection, as it had been both written and published for the benefit of a State. It was therefore quoted literally, without any intentional diminution, or the addition of an extract from any other work.
Many years ago, I saw in the newspapers exact copies of several passages in this work, and a suggestion that Mr: Wythe was possessed of some similar composition of yours. Whence these newspaper paragraphs came I know not, for I never gave a copy of a line from the original, but I inferred from their accuracy, that copies existed, taken perhaps when the form of government for North Carolina was under consideration. To Mr: Wythe I applied personally (informing him of the paper in my possession) to know if he had one of a similar kind; and he declared that he had not, nor any recollection of what the newspapers had suggested. <Of [. . .]> I never heard of the printed discourse before the receipt of your letter.
The enquiry contains no extract from any work of yours, the Defence excepted; and the extracts from this were carefully selected with a view to place in its true light, and not to misrepresent the political system of the author.
That "time should destroy the imaginations" of so imperfect and transitory a being as man, is probably one of nature's resources for bestowing on his mind activity and health. Unable himself to endure its assaults, he is equally unable to produce a material or moral work possessed of that capacity. Swift even predicts the overthrow of Newton's principia, though built upon unchangeable materials. How infinitely unprobable is it, that political systems, resting upon a changeable complication of physical and moral circumstances, should be durable?
I am with great respect and perfect esteem, Sir, / Your mo: obt: Sert.

Help needed by theme editing.
Ok so I have been trying to edit the text colour of the ranks in my members page.
The theme I am using is the Clash of Clan Shield theme, the rank names are not all grey but black also. I cannot find where to change the colour of this.
There is a screen shot of what I am talking about in the attachments.
Just go to Admin Panel > Menu > Theme Builder, then hover over the window where the name of ranks is displayed, its either primary or secondary window. Then look for the Text Font for that and change the font color for that.


For the second year, the Choir and Baroque Ensemble of the Church of the Ascension and Saint Agnes, conducted by organist and choirmaster J. Owen Burdick, present Handel's Messiah, in a performance to benefit the restoration of the organ.
Join us for a powerful experience of Handel's beloved oratorio, unrivaled in its intimacy and immediacy -- Messiah as it was meant to be heard! Dr. Burdick, a foremost authority, performer, and conductor of this work, will lead the chamber choir and period instrumentalists in a production refined over multiple seasons at Trinity Wall Street and hailed by the New York Times as "the best in New York" and "a Messiah to beat in a season bursting with them!"
All proceeds from this event will assist in the repair of the church's fine pipe organ, which was badly damaged by the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the Washington region in August 2011. Originally installed in 2000, the Létourneau organ was silenced when falling stonework caused structural damage to the church's roof, turret spire, and organ loft. Since then, repairs to the church building have been completed, and the organ is in the final stages of restoration.
With your support, we are pleased to present this masterwork to ensure that the musicians of Ascension and Saint Agnes may continue to provide spiritual sustenance and contribute to the musical life of our city.
All concertgoers are cordially invited to a reception in the Parish Hall following the performance.
By car: Street parking is free on Sundays both north and south of Massachusetts Ave., but please be aware of residential parking restrictions and allow yourself ample time to park. Most commercial garages in the area are closed on weekends.
By Metro: The church is a 10-15 minute walk from the McPherson Square, Metro Center, or Mount Vernon Square stations. Metrobus routes that travel 14th St. and two of the Circulator bus lines also stop within 2-3 blocks of the church.

"At Valley View Casino & Hotel, we are all here to help support those remarkable families served by the Greater San Diego Chapter. We are proud to be working together to host this first annual casino event with 100 percent of the event's proceeds going towards helping those affected by ALS."

"We are very grateful to the Valley View Casino & Hotel team members for their tremendous support for our cause," said Steve Becvar, executive director, ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter. "Our partnership has continued to grow over the years and it is because of this support that we are able to help so many people impacted by ALS."
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord for which there is no known cause, cure or life-prolonging treatments for the disease. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which usually leads to total paralysis.
Nearly 30,000 Americans are living with ALS at any given time, with an average life expectancy of just two to five years. ALS is a rapidly progressive disease that claims the lives of many people in our region every year. Living with ALS can cost up to $250,000 annually, depleting families' life savings. The ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter offers all services to people with ALS and their families free of charge.
The ALS Association is the only national nonprofit organization fighting Lou Gehrig's disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers and fostering government partnerships, The ALS Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.


JERUSALEM — Israelis and Palestinians are imprisoned in what seems increasingly like a hermetically sealed bubble. Over the years, inside this bubble, each side has evolved sophisticated justifications for every act it commits.
Israel can rightly claim that no country in the world would abstain from responding to incessant attacks like those of Hamas, or to the threat posed by the tunnels dug from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Hamas, conversely, justifies its attacks on Israel by arguing that the Palestinians are still under occupation and that residents of Gaza are withering away under the blockade enforced by Israel.
Inside the bubble, who can fault Israelis for expecting their government to do everything it can to save children on the Nahal Oz kibbutz, or any of the other communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip, from a Hamas unit that might emerge from a hole in the ground? And what is the response to Gazans who say that the tunnels and rockets are their only remaining weapons against a powerful Israel? In this cruel and desperate bubble, both sides are right. They both obey the law of the bubble — the law of violence and war, revenge and hatred.
But the big question, as war rages on, is not about the horrors occurring every day inside the bubble, but rather it is this: How on earth can it be that we have been suffocating together inside this bubble for over a century? This question, for me, is the crux of the latest bloody cycle.
Since I cannot ask Hamas, nor do I purport to understand its way of thinking, I ask the leaders of my own country, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his predecessors: How could you have wasted the years since the last conflict without initiating dialogue, without even making the slightest gesture toward dialogue with Hamas, without attempting to change our explosive reality? Why, for these past few years, has Israel avoided judicious negotiations with the moderate and more conversable sectors of the Palestinian people — an act that could also have served to pressure Hamas? Why have you ignored, for 12 years, the Arab League initiative that could have enlisted moderate Arab states with the power to impose, perhaps, a compromise on Hamas? In other words: Why is it that Israeli governments have been incapable, for decades, of thinking outside the bubble?
And yet the current round between Israel and Gaza is somehow different. Beyond the pugnacity of a few politicians fanning the flames of war, behind the great show of "unity" — in part authentic, mostly manipulative — something about this war is managing, I think, to direct many Israelis' attention toward the mechanism that lies at the foundation of the vain and deadly repetitive "situation." Many Israelis who have refused to acknowledge the state of affairs are now looking into the futile cycle of violence, revenge and counter-revenge, and they are seeing our reflection: a clear, unadorned image of Israel as a brilliantly creative, inventive, audacious state that for over a century has been circling the grindstone of a conflict that could have been resolved years ago.
If we put aside for a moment the rationales we use to buttress ourselves against simple human compassion toward the multitude of Palestinians whose lives have been shattered in this war, perhaps we will be able to see them, too, as they trudge around the grindstone right beside us, in tandem, in endless blind circles, in numbing despair.
I do not know what the Palestinians, including Gazans, really think at this moment. But I do have a sense that Israel is growing up. Sadly, painfully, gnashing its teeth, but nonetheless maturing — or, rather, being forced to. Despite the belligerent declarations of hotheaded politicians and pundits, beyond the violent onslaught of right-wing thugs against anyone whose opinion differs from theirs, the main artery of the Israeli public is gaining sobriety.
The left is increasingly aware of the potent hatred against Israel — a hatred that arises not just from the occupation — and of the Islamic fundamentalist volcano that threatens the country. It also recognizes the fragility of any agreement that might be reached here. More people on the left understand now that the right wing's fears are not mere paranoia, that they address a real and crucial threat.
I would hope that on the right, too, there is now greater recognition — even if it is accompanied by anger and frustration — of the limits of force; of the fact that even a powerful country like ours cannot simply act as it wishes; and that in the age we live in there are no unequivocal victories, only an illusory "image of victory" through which we can easily see the truth: that in war there are only losers. There is no military solution to the real anguish of the Palestinian people, and as long as the suffocation felt in Gaza is not alleviated, we in Israel will not be able to breathe freely either.
Israelis have known this for decades, and for decades we have refused to truly comprehend it. But perhaps this time we understand a little better; perhaps we have caught a glimpse of the reality of our lives from a slightly different angle. It is a painful understanding, and a threatening one, certainly, but it is an understanding that could be the start of a shift. It might bring home for Israelis how critical and urgent peace with the Palestinians is, and how it can also be a basis for peace with the other Arab states. It may portray peace — such a disparaged concept here these days — as the best option, and the most secure one, available to Israel.
Will a similar comprehension emerge on the other side, in Hamas? I have no way of knowing. But the Palestinian majority, represented by Mahmoud Abbas, has already decided in favor of negotiation and against terrorism. Will the government of Israel, after this bloody war, after losing so many young and beloved people, continue to avoid at least trying this option? Will it continue to ignore Mr. Abbas as an essential component to any resolution? Will it keep dismissing the possibility that an agreement with West Bank Palestinians might gradually lead to an improved relationship with the 1.8 million residents of Gaza?
Here in Israel, as soon as the war is over, we must begin the process of creating a new partnership, an internal alliance that will alter the array of narrow interest groups that controls us. An alliance of those who comprehend the fatal risk of continuing to circle the grindstone; those who understand that our borderlines no longer separate Jews from Arabs, but people who long to live in peace from those who feed, ideologically and emotionally, on continued violence.
I believe that Israel still contains a critical mass of people, both left-wing and right-wing, religious and secular, Jews and Arabs, who are capable of uniting — with sobriety, with no illusions — around a few points of agreement to resolve the conflict with our neighbors.
There are many who still "remember the future" (an odd phrase, but an accurate one in this context) — the future they want for Israel, and for Palestine. There are still — but who knows for how much longer — people in Israel who understand that if we sink into apathy again we will be leaving the arena to those who would drag us fervently into the next war, igniting every possible locus of conflict in Israeli society as they go.
If we do not do this, we will all — Israelis and Palestinians, blindfolded, our heads bowed in stupor, collaborating with hopelessness — continue to turn the grindstone of this conflict, which crushes and erodes our lives, our hopes and our humanity.

SpectrumCo aims for national wireless footprint
By atesmeh | October 31, 2006
SpectrumCo, a joint venture of Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Advance/Newhouse and Sprint Nextel, put up a combined $2.37 billion to win 137 wireless spectrum licenses via the FCC's Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) auction.
Among the cable MSOs, Comcast contributed the lion's share ($1.29 billion), followed by Time Warner's $632.2 million and Cox's $248.3 million.
The resulting licenses will create a national footprint covering major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The SpectrumCo partners did not say exactly how they will leverage the spectrum, other than to say that they will leverage it to "evolve their plans for wireless" and that it could come into play with the MSO-Sprint mobile joint venture, which will be in trials in seven markets before year-end.
The spectrum will enable the group "to obtain greater flexibility in developing options for more advanced wireless services. While no plans have as yet been finalized, including no specific plans to build-out the networks at this time, in coming months the members of SpectrumCo will fully evaluate all options including possible testing in limited markets."

Transport infrastructure, economic development and urbanization in India (1990–2011): Is there any causal relationship?
Abstract: Development of transport infrastructure has long been taken as a major tool in promoting economic development and urbanization of a region. However, it is quite debatable whether transport infrastructure promotes economic development and urbanization, or economic development and urbanization create demand first which leads to investment in transport infrastructure. Each of the views has theoretical support. Therefore, apart from theory, empirical evidence is required to establish direction of causality, which bears serious policy implications. This study looks into different sub-sectors of transport infrastructure to find its long-run relationship and direction of causality with economic development and urbanization. It first finds the order of integration of the variables and then tries to find their causal relationship using cointegration and Granger causality test approach for India between 1990 and 2011. It uses Vector Auto-Regression and Vector Error Correction model to find short-run and long-run causality. Results showed existence of long-run relationship between transport infrastructure and economic development, and the direction of causality is from economic development to transport infrastructure in most of the cases, thus drawing support in favor of Wagner's law.

Tel Te'omim ( תֵּל תְּאוֹמִים,  Tel Te'omim) je vesnice typu společná osada (jišuv kehilati) v Izraeli, v Severním distriktu, v Oblastní radě Emek ha-Ma'ajanot.

Geografie
Leží v nadmořské výšce 139 metrů pod mořskou hladinou v intenzivně zemědělsky využívaném Bejtše'anském údolí, které je součástí Jordánského údolí. V okolí obce se nacházejí četné vydatné prameny, ale původní vádí protékající údolím byla většinou kvůli zemědělskému hospodaření svedena do umělých vodotečí. Údolí je rovinaté, s rozsáhlými plochami umělých vodních nádrží a zemědělských pozemků. Člení ho jen nevelké pahorky, většinou lidského původu coby stopy dávného osídlení jako Tel Te'omim a Tel Nufar, které se rozkládají přímo v prostoru vesnice. Zhruba 4 kilometry na západ od vesnice se terén prudce zvedá do svahů pohoří Gilboa s horami Har Malkišua nebo Har Avinadav (440 m n. m.), ze kterých do údolí stékají vádí Nachal Avinadav a Nachal Malkišua.

Vesnice je situována 30 kilometrů jižně od Galilejského jezera, 6 kilometrů západně od Jordánu, cca 5 kilometrů jižně od města Bejt Še'an, cca 80 kilometrů severovýchodně od centra Tel Avivu a cca 63 kilometrů jihovýchodně od centra Haify. Tel Te'omim obývají Židé, přičemž osídlení v tomto regionu je ryze židovské. Tel Te'omim tvoří společně s mošavy Rechov, Revaja a Sdej Trumot aglomeraci vzájemně propojených zemědělských vesnic zvaných Jišuvej Bikura (ישובי ביכורה).

Tel Te'omim je na dopravní síť napojen pomocí severojižního tahu dálnice číslo 90.

Dějiny
Tel Te'omim byl založen v roce 1987. Podle jiného zdroje už roku 1982. Účelem zřízení nové vesnice bylo poskytnout bydlení a zemědělskou obživu mladé generaci farmářů z ostatních vesnic v tomto sídelním bloku.

Někteří místní obyvatelé se zabývají farmařením, zbytek za prací dojíždí do jiných obcí. Zařízení předškolní péče o děti a základní škola se nacházejí v komplexu Bikura (ביכורה) ve středu zdejší aglomerace vesnic, na západním okraji Tel Te'omim . V komplexu Bikura jsou i další veřejné služby a instituce, které využívají obyvatelé okolního bloku vesnic, jako plavecký bazén a sportovní areály, obchod a knihovna. V Tel Te'omim je k dispozici synagoga, mikve a vojenská přípravka (mechina).

Demografie
Obyvatelstvo Tel Te'omim je smíšené, tedy sekulární i nábožensky orientované. Podle údajů z roku 2014 tvořili naprostou většinu obyvatel v Tel Te'omim Židé (včetně statistické kategorie "ostatní", která zahrnuje nearabské obyvatele židovského původu ale bez formální příslušnosti k židovskému náboženství). V obci bylo zřízeno centrum pro integraci etiopských Židů.

Jde o menší sídlo vesnického typu s populací, jež po dlouhodobé stagnaci začala po roce 2010 narůstat. K 31. prosinci 2014 zde žilo 509 lidí. Během roku 2014 populace stoupla o 12,1 %.

During the research and development process for new vehicles, specifically work involving drivetrain and auxilary components, one parameter of particular importance is fluid flow. For engine R&D programs, typical measurements include: coolant flow for heat balance studies, oil flow to ensure proper lubrication, fuel and intake air flow to optimize the efficiency of the engine, and exhaust gas flow to ensure the engine and catalytic converter system complies with clean air guidelines.
In addition, two parameters vital to the longevity and operation of transmissions and power steering systems are the flow of lubrication/hydraulic fluid and the temperature of the fluid. In order to optimize the efficiency of climate control equipment, flows of coolant and refrigerant also need to be measured.

Hamilton Heights Lady Hawks find national success through great sacrifices on and off the court
March 20, 2020 at 9:55 p.m. | Updated March 21, 2020 at 9:29 p.m.
by Patrick MacCoon
Staff photo by Patrick MacCoon / Hamilton Heights senior Treasure Hunt, third from right, is honored during senior night for the 2019-20 season.
Treasure Hunt is not your average teenage athlete, but then again, Hamilton Heights Christian Academy does not have a typical high school basketball program.
Hunt has helped the Lady Hawks become a national power, and their approach to practice and competition - including playing a schedule that annually takes the Chattanooga team to tournaments around the country - should be good preparation for her future as an NCAA Division I basketball player.
The 6-foot-2 guard has scored more than 2,000 points in her Hamilton Heights career while helping her senior class to a 101-9 record. Hunt has signed with Kentucky, meaning next season she will join forces with former Bradley Central star Rhyne Howard, the reigning Southeastern Conference women's basketball player of the year and an AP All-America first-team selection.
Hunt has no regrets about the sacrifices she has made to play for the Lady Hawks, who are coached by her mother, Keisha.
"We don't do what normal teams do," Treasure said. "But I wouldn't trade it for the world. We work constantly on our craft and have to handle a lot of things most high school players don't see. What has helped us the most is our chemistry. We all basically stay in the same house and know exactly how to play with each other."
The Lady Hawks (25-1) were second in the final MaxPreps.com Xcellent 25 national rankings for girls' basketball in 2019-20, the highest ranking for a Tennessee team. Their loss was in the second game of the season, in overtime to Fairmount (Ohio).
Although their national schedule means they rarely play at home, the Lady Hawks have been embraced wherever they go, Treasure said.
"Everyone on our team gets messages on social media talking about how much we inspire them to do whatever they want to do," Hunt explained. "We don't feel like stars, but to some of the kids across the country we are their role models, which is really cool. We always reply back to them and are extremely grateful for our fans."
Staff photo by Patrick MacCoon / Hamilton Heights senior Kamilla Cardoso has signed with Syracuse and has been rated one of the top five girls' basketball players in the country for the signing class of 2020.
While Hamilton Heights was on the verge of closing last spring, the school on Hickory Valley Road with an enrollment of fewer than 80 students received enough support from benefactors to remain open. By receiving a bid to this year's GEICO Nationals, the Lady Hawks also earned more than $10,000 for next year's budget.
The versatile Hunt and 6-foot-7 teammate Kamilla Cardoso - already a member of Brazil's national team - have helped propel a phenomenal season in which the two were selected to the McDonald All American and Jordan Brand Classic games, with both of those exhibitions played by the country's top seniors.
Central Arkansas signee Ruth Balogun is another key player, and Ashley Rojas starred in the postseason this year to help the Lady Hawks win their third National Association of Christian Athletes championship in four years.
As the runner-up of the famed GEICO Nationals in New York City in both 2017 and 2018, Hamilton Heights hopes to win the four-team tournament that has been postponed for the time being due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I gave up time with my family in Brazil to come here and try and reach the highest level possible," said Cardoso, who is ranked No 5 in the signing class of 2020 by ESPNW and was one of the five finalists for the Naismith award for girls' basketball. "This has been home for me now. I want to play in the WNBA one day, and this has been such a good fit for me."
Balogun's older sister Elizabeth, who recently completed her sophomore season at Louisville, was a McDonald's All American along with Hamilton Heights teammate Jazmine Massengill - now at Tennessee - in 2018. The Balogun sisters moved from Nigeria with their father five years ago, shortly after their mother died.
"Playing for Hamilton Heights is worth every sacrifice," Balogun said. "It's taught me hard work because we practice and train harder than any. We don't live the average teenage life, but this school has changed my life. It has also already prepared me for what I will see in college, and I am grateful."
Off the court, the team loves to cook for one another and watch TV together.
Even if they don't get to go to New York to play for a national title, this year's Lady Hawks are proud of the impact they made for Hamilton Heights.
"To achieve what we have and make it as far as we have is a dream come true," Hunt said. "To be a part of this program means a lot to me. Without a doubt, my mom is my biggest inspiration. She has continued to put everyone else before herself. She is my hero."
