"Keep Me a Secret" is the debut single by Scottish singer-songwriter Ainslie Henderson, who rose to fame on the first series of Fame Academy. The single was released on 24 February 2003 and charted at number 5 in the UK.

Background and production
Henderson wrote "Keep Me a Secret" with his Fame Academy co-stars Malachi Cush and Sinéad Quinn, the latter who had finished in second place on the show behind David Sneddon, with Henderson placing fourth behind Lemar. Sneddon topped the chart with his debut single "Stop Living the Lie", while Quinn also placed high with her number two peaking entry "I Can't Break Down" in February 2003.

Critical reception
Drowned in Sound described Henderson as an "all new improved popstar" and that the influence of James in his writing had delivered a "big pop chorus that's actually really, really good". MusicOMH's review for Henderson's independently released 2006 album Growing Flowers by Candlelight describes Henderson as carrying "with his obvious charisma the suggestion of songwriting ability" and described "Keep Me a Secret" as "jaunty". In 2014, the Official Charts Company picked out "Keep Me a Secret" as one of their "pop gems", a selection of "overlooked classics" recorded by talent show contestants. The song was chosen alongside "I Can't Break Down" by Henderson's fellow Fame Academy competitor Sinead Quinn, "Sunshine" from Pop Idol series one runner-up Gareth Gates and Pop Idol winner Will Young's "Jealousy".

Chart performance
"Keep Me a Secret" entered the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart at its peak position of number five, with Christina Aguilera's chart-topper "Beautiful", DJ Sammy's "The Boys of Summer", tATu's former number-one "All the Things She Said" and Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet" ahead of it on the rankings. It would remain in the top 40 for two more weeks and spent a total of 11 weeks in the top 100.

Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Sun May 12, 2019 7:55 am
I have been trawling through my ('modern') books about the incident and most of them seem to have the 'Daly Wave' mentioned - most seem to reference it at the same time as one of the NNMC departed but as you say, there are no sources of who witnessed it nor who Daly was waving to.
I wonder if it is just a myth, perhaps to reinforce the Victorian idea of how a military officer should face adversity/death (Younghusband shaking hands, the officer doing his shopping list, etc)....Maybe Daly was a notoriously cheerful fellow in the regiment?
Morning Simon
Im still trawling through all the old accounts, with no luck, Possibly Morris? IF it did occur I would think it was at a time when he still had something to be cheerful about, on the firing line just before the general collapse for instance.
My apologies to Morris fans, nothing there. Mac and Shad neither, although they do describe him as having a genial disposition.
So a trawl through the colonials will be in order.
Quoted in a letter by James Sivewright. Not NNH.
I was hoping that it was from Brickhill - a fair bit of his account deals with the retreat of the NNMC (and stand on the Saddle area) but he does not mention it.
Thanks Julian
Can you put the quote into context? Was he the one waved at, did he witness it or was he 'told' about it?
Hi Julian/Frank,
I am having trouble finding out anything about JS at isandlwana - I am only doing on line research and he is mentioned in connection with the battle but I can not find his role in battle (if any)
Last night, I checked the original source: It's only mentioned "them".
"Them" seems to indicate "fugitives".

Regarding Pulleine, there are several statements that he was shot. Here's what I have:
Captain Gardner (Letter to Col. Glyn, published Sheffield Daily Telegraph:
"I then returned to Colonel Pulleine, but about five minutes later I observed the mounted men retreating- there were then some 10,000 before us. The enemy continued to advance steadily, and soon enveloped our right as well as left, and completely surrounded us.
I saw all was over; our men fought well, but both Colonel Durnford and Pulleine were shot; the guns attempted to retire, but the road was occupied by the enemy; they were overturned, and all the gunners were stabbed."
Private Bickley
"I found a pony standing in the path which I mounted and shortly after caught up Lieutenant Melvill who was carrying the Queen's Colour. Mr. Coghill afterwards joined us and reported to the Adjutant that Colonel Pulleine had been shot."
Lieutenant Curling, RA.
"The Zulus were in the middle of the crowd, stabbing the men as they ran. When we had gone about 400 yds., we came to a deep cut in which the guns stuck. There was, as far as I could see, only one gunner with them at this time, but they were covered with men of different corps clinging to them. The Zulus were in them at once and the drivers pulled off their horses. I then left the guns. Shortly after this I saw Lt. Coghill, who told me Col. Pulleine had been killed."
Also, to confuse the issue regarding Anstey:
General Mainwaring in a 1921 Letter
"...when we were camped near the spot the following September we spent from a week to ten days burying the dead, all down to Fugitive's Drift. These included some well-known officers, such as Surgeon Major Shepherd (I think his name was) RAMC, the originator of St John's Ambulance, Major Smith RA, Lieutenant Anstey 24th Regiment etc., etc."
And to confuse it even more...
The Daily News correspondent Archibald Forbes, in an article published in The Express and Telegraph on October 18, 1880, wrote that he had discovered Lieutenant Anstey's remains "on the woeful slope of Isandula, where the poor brave lad, I am right sure, had gone down with his face to the foe." It should be noted that in his initial dispatch on the first May expedition to Isandlwana, Forbes discussed in great detail going over both the route to Fugitive's Drift and the main Isandlwana camp.
Archibald Forbes was in error.
To summarize Studies in the Zulu War vol V pp. 5-7:
Anstey's body, discovered by his clothing and still recognizable, was found to the left rear of the 1/24th camp and identified by Col.-Sergt. Tigar.
Anstey's body found a little apart from the others in the area of the stand in the rear of the 1/24th camp and identified by Second-Lieut. Armitage during Black's burial party expedition. He was easily recognized by his face and buried in a shallow grave.
Sep-Nov 1879
Capt. T. Anstey surveyed battlefield and surrounding country whilst a 2/24th burial party was on site (see your reference to Mainwaring). Armitage assisted Capt. Anstey in identifying his brother's grave. Anstey's body is recovered from the field and his brother conveyed it to England.
Anstey is buried in Woking.
Forbes could not have discovered Anstey's remains in October 1880 as they were removed in April that year.
Yes, I have those as well, as well as your brilliant article in Studies in the AZW. It's really quite interesting, however the Mainwaring account from 1921 does confuse the issue a bit as Anstey is placed back along Fugitive's trail. RE the Forbes statement, it was published in October of 1880 but would had to have been a recollection from his initial visit to the battlefield (May of 1879 I recall?)
I've been digging into the eyewitness accounts of Isandlwana along with Neil Thornton and the amount of contradictions are impressive.
Mainwaring visited the burial site in Sep 1879. Look at Mainwaring's text carefully - he does not say where he found Anstey's body. He merely says that he spent a week to 10 days burying the dead [from the battlefield] all the way down to FD.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Mon Oct 14, 2019 1:12 am
According to Noggs, Mainwaring was present at the May expedition as well, but for the life of me I can't find any statement by him other than this 1921 letter and his account of the infamous cave. Odd, for a man of his rank, he doesn't seem to have written much on such a famous disaster in British military history. Robinson is the Daily Telegraph correspondent, according to Colonel Harness, and he is the one who clearly has Anstey on the Nek. I've had no luck in tracing more details regarding him.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Mon Oct 14, 2019 12:33 pm
I would put it to you that the rear of the 1/24th camp and the area of the nek are in close proximity to one another. Robinson, in his description, might not have been so bothered about the accuracy of his terminology and thus his description of where he saw the body is entirely in keeping with where the body was actually found, buried and recovered.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:11 pm
Agreed, that would be the logical conclusion for Robinson's dispatch. However, do we know of the existence of any further Mainwaring letters or accounts of the expeditions/burials other than the two listed above? He could be quite enlightening as one angle I'm working on is how many of the 24th fought their way out along Fugitive's Trail; In addition I believe Noggs specified that he was the one who identified Major Smith.
Also related to Mr. Alewell's fascinating thesis is the following:
Private Wye of the 1st King's Dragoon Guards claims... "We went up further amongst the waggons... One of our officers recognized the bodies of the Colonel and his Lieutenant, lying beside each other, and we buried them." Leicester Daily Mercury, 19JUL79.
I still don't see any inconsistency even if the unnamed lieutenant were Anstey. However, for those that do, let me ask who was best placed to recognize Anstey, an unnamed officer of the KDG, Mr. Robinson the newspaper reporter, or Anstey's brother?
My point is regarding the positioning of Colonel Pulleine being somewhere near the wagon park, nothing in regards to Lieutenant Anstey. I posted the KDG Trooper's account to add to Alewell's list of possible identifications of Pulleine. That unnamed LT found near him? Who knows?
Weekend Warrior,
You are of course assuming that the Colonel is Pulleine.
There was of course another Colonel in the camp, Anthony Durnford, and the body of Lieutenant Scott, Natal Carbineers, was found nearby.
Certainly true... and wasn't Scott found under a wagon?
I think you are putting too much store into Muirhead's account.
I'll double check but I don't think it was Muirhead? He had the disgruntled tale of Shepstone hiding under dead bodies which I think we can readily discount!
An extract from Archibald Forbes' account published in The Illustrated News 12th July 1879.
Robinson was effectively the special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph.
However, the account published in the Daily Telegraph which mentioned the discovery of Anstey's body (Daily Telegraph 18 August 1879 ) was written "From a correspondent" (burial party June 1879).
Not sure that this correspondent was Robinson...
According to the Daily Telegraph, the account about the Burial party of May was written "from our special correspondent" -probably Robinson-.
About Lt Scott's corpse found under a wagon:
"Durrant Scott lay partially hidden under a broke piece of a wagon, and had evidently not been mutilitated or touched after his death. He had his patrol jacket on, buttoned across, and although the rest of the body was only a skeleton, yet strange to say, the face was like in life, all the hair being still on, and the skin strangely parched and dried up, although perfect . Both thse bodies [Durnford and Scott)] lay right in the midst of the rest of the young colonists who fell gallantly..."
Natal Witness, 28 May 1879
Aha! That's the one... Our young Pte. Wye implies finding this Colonel and his erstwhile Lieutenant in the wagon park, I think Mr. Whybra is very much onto something with his identification of such as Pulleine and Scott!
Do we have any more info on Robinson? Did he ever do a memoir like Forbes did?
C'mon you're the one writing a book on the subject.
Philip Stewart Robinson, (1847-1902), born in India the eldest son of a H.E.I.C. Army chaplain.
He joined the staff of The Daily Telegraph in 1877.
He reported on the Zulu, Afghan & Egyptian campaigns. In the latter campaign he was reporting for The Daily Chronicle.
He toured the United States and Australia giving lectures on his career.
His health and his career took a turn for worse whilst covering the Spanish-American War in Cuba.
The titles of his published books do not indicate any obvious reminiscences of his time in South Africa.
I hope that helps?

Excuse me, Dunford and Scott!
John Young, thank you, that's perfect!
Do the accounts specifically mention the wagon park?
The camp of the 1st 24th was on the side of the road associated with AWDs stand under 'Blacks Kopie' - would all of the battalion wagons have been on the Nek or could some have been in the camp.
Never been involved in a last, first or in fact any kind of 'stand' - I wouldn't know but I have read plenty of accounts (of various battles) to say that 'stands' were made by trees, rocks, wagons etc - anything that can possibly protect a flank or rear even momentarily.
Do you think that the body found under a wagon & tarpaulin (well preserved) and the body found under a bit of wagon (well preserved) is too much of a similarity not to be the same man - who ever he was?
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Wed Oct 16, 2019 9:32 am
Battalion (or more specifically) company waggons were behind each camp. Commissariat and Transport waggons on the nek ready to go back and forth.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Wed Oct 16, 2019 9:05 pm
Hi Sime,
There are also accounts of wagons being driven some distance out of the wagon park ostensibly in an unsuccessful attempt to escape. As for using a wagon as cover? I have no doubt it happened; cut off, surrounded by angry warriors, I'm sure many men sheltered underneath or around a wagon to protect their 6; I think the scene in Zulu Dawn where the young Tommy does just this, fighting to the last round, as a ring of truth to it. There are stories of Seaman Ainsley selling his life dearly, back to a wagon. I don't doubt that Lieutenant Scott may have done the same.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Thu Oct 17, 2019 5:54 am
Look at the famous sketch of the return of the cavalry, tends to support the discussion.
Theres always confusion with the tents being indicated under the mountain, when in actuallity the wagons per company were araigned along the front with tents lower down. so the wagons of the 1/24th would have been parked to the North and East of Mahlabamkhosi. In the famous photos there are wagons shown on top of the saddle straddle down the western slopes and also up against Mahlabamkhosi, These would have been as described by Julian but nor forgetting that Durnfords wagons had just arrived and would not have had time to be placed so the possibility of confusion amongst those wagons could have been great. McPhail also had his wagons ready to start back to RD. Brickhill was also pretty active at the time.
For those with the correct design soft ware it could be interesting to map out the shape of a waggon and try and place them all in the area.
Some key sizes to consider. Length of body 18ft width 5 ft 10 inch. In draft with 16 oxen to pull a 29cwt wagon total road space required would be 32 yards, or between 40 and sixty including spacing.
Reversing was generally not an option so to get out of a 'park' position the wagons had to have space to move forward.before turning away.
Mule wagons werent as large, around 21yards. But they only carries around 2000 pounds and a large portion of that was food for the mules themselves, around 15pounds a day per mule x 8 mules per wagon.
Arguably there were around 220 wagons at isandlwana.
When Erskine arrived on the nek with Durnford's ten waggons he described how he and his 16 men went directly to the front and left his waggons under the care of McCarthy. With no-one to direct him, and assuming that he might be ordered to follow Durnford at a moment's notice, he presumably had his convoy wait on the track, awaiting orders, in the position they were in when they arrived.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Thu Oct 17, 2019 10:05 am
If McCarthy did bring his wagons through the line they should have been easier to track down for Ammunition supply? At that point in the day no body really knew what was on its way, I would imagine that McCarthy would have been directed by one of the transport officers.
Subject: Re: The Western Slopes Thu Oct 17, 2019 1:54 pm
Try a reverse engineering view point. We have some pretty emphatic descriptions of relative body locations and indeed a map or two. Do a Google survey and the potential positions tend to resolve themselves. Add in the shape of the old road, more than enough drawings of that. Then look closely at the actual cairns in the area.

Q: How does light know which path is fastest? We know from Fermat's principle of least time that light follows the fastest path. But how does light know which path is the fastest?

A: The Fermat principle does not say light ray follows the fastest path, it says when there is a light ray, the optical path (length divided by index of refraction) is stationary with respect to small variations in the shape of the ray that preserve the position of the boundary points.
It is not as if light got everywhere the fastest way possible; it goes where directed by the source and surrounding medium. The effect of the medium is such that the resulting path obeys the criterion of stationarity with respect to small variations. In some cases, the optical path is the shortest for the pair of boundary points, in other cases (less common) it is the longest and there may be cases where it is neither (like when stationary point is a saddle point).

A: A way to understand this, is to imagine that light actually follows all paths. However, most paths experience destructive interference with other paths. The only paths that do not experience destructive interference are those in the neighbourhood of paths with stationary (e.g., minimal) action (time).
I strongly recommend reading Feynman's QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. In the link you'll also find a link to video.

A: The premises of your questions are incorrect because you are in fact asking the wrong question. Physics (and science in general, for that matter) does not provide an answer to why things are the way they are, rather it provides an answer to how to make predictions for future experiments. Whenever you ask why something is the way it is, one can address the behaviour to another more fundamental characteristic, this is true, but then you would be asking why this other characteristic behaves the way it does - and so on and so forth until you come to a fundamental point where there is a fundamental property that you just have to accept true.
Light does not choose anything. Optics principles state that an empirically true result is that light paths are such that they minimise the action between them: you assume this is true (because it experimentally is) and use it to make predictions - and then you construct the entire geometry of Optics and the like. Of course you might redirect the principle of least action to the Huygens–Fresnel principle, stating that propagation of light is generated as if each point of a light wavefront acted as a source of a spherical wave; but then again you might ask why the Huygens–Fresnel principle holds true in the first place.
Imagine asking yourself why, in Newton's law, the force is proportional to the acceleration. Why can it not be proportional to the acceleration squared, for instance? The answer is that it could very well be and if it were we would be describing a universe where such law holds true, with all the corresponding consequences. It just happens not to be the case in our current universe.

16 October 2019 National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic and the Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Şentop
Gojkovic Meets Turkish Parliament Speaker
The Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Maja Gojkovic met today with the Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Şentop, thanking Turkey for sending a high-level parliamentary delegation to the 141st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Belgrade.
Gojkovic said that the political relations between the two countries are at an all-time high and that the many reciprocal visits contribute to the development of cooperation, as did the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's recent visit and the opening of the section of the Belgrade-Sarajevo highway as result of the Serbia-Turkey-Bosnia and Herzegovina trilateral cooperation.
Şentop said that the leaders of the two countries have an excellent, friendly relationship which in turn strengthens the level of cooperation, opining that the Serbian and Turkish parliaments should advance and further the contacts and ties existing on the presidential level.
Şentop also said that Turkey will not forget Serbia's support immediately after the unsuccessful coup in the country.
The Turkish Parliament Speaker stressed that Turkey believes that Serbia has the central position in the region and contributes to its peace, stability and well-being, which is why it should take active part in furthering relations in other organizations, such as IPU.
Gojkovic and Şentop said that the economic cooperation shows tendencies of further growth and there is ample room for cooperation in the spheres of trade, investment, textile industry and the banking system. The Turkish Parliament Speaker said that the volume of trade reached 1.3 million dinars in 2018 and the volume of Turkish investment exceeded 200 million US dollars, with increasing numbers of Turkish investors coming into Serbia.
Gojkovic and Şentop agreed that the overall interparliamentary cooperation in the previous period has been very good and uninterrupted, remarking that the fruitful cooperation between the two parliaments was evidenced in the Protocol of Cooperation between the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and the Turkish Grand National Assembly signed in April 2015.
The two parliament speakers highlighted the importance of cooperation between parliamentary friendship groups and delegations in international forums and Gojkovic stressed that the Serbian Assembly is ready contribute to the governments' talks and efforts through the ratification of the agreements they come to. Şentop invited the Serbian Assembly Speaker to the celebration of the centenary of the Turkish Grand National Assembly in April next year.

artist.isnull().sum()

pandas.get_dummies
I read here and tried a few different things to no luck.
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.get_dummies.html
What i tried
artist1["genre"] = artist1["genre"].astype(float)

artist1_features = pd.concat([artist1['genre'].str.get_dummies(sep="| "),
                              pd.concat([artist1['demo'].str.get_dummies(sep=","),
                              pd.get_dummies(artist1[['price']]),axis=1)
artist1["name"] = artist1["name"].map(lambda name:re.sub(''[^A-Za0-9]+', " ", name))
artist1_features.head()

I also tried this
artist1["genre"] = artist1["genre"].astype(float)
artist1_processed = pd.get_dummies(metadata['genre']).str.get_dummies(sep="| ")
artist1_concat = pd.concat([artist1_processed, metadata], axis=1)
pd.get_dummies(artists1[["genre"]]).head()

errors I got

goal
Ideally I would like to use pd.get_dummies, a pandas method for converting categorical features to data frames with dummy/indicator variables for each genres, demographics, and prices separately.
Genres
has a separator like this "| " basically -
ex: Country Music| Hip Hop & Rap| Pop Music
demographics
has a separator like this "| " basically -
ex: Under 18,18-25,25-35
prices
does not need a separator but has a comma -
ex:  Under $200,000
I am applying ideas from a few different movie database recommender systems tutorials into a real project.
which should look like the following once done.

17+ Best Pond Plants: From Beginner Species To Flowering Beauties
September 20, 2019 Robert Plants 0
Plants are a vital part of all living ecosystems around the world – from rainforests and flowering meadows to the oceans and even your backyard pond.
They provide valuable services to your pond and are also a vital habitat for water-dwelling organisms like fish, frogs and snails.
In this article we will explore the best plant species for outdoor ponds, including species which are suitable for beginners, flowering species, floating species, those which are suitable for koi ponds and many more.
NEON_TETRA video
For each species we explain how to plant them, which different regions of the pond they should be occupying and how to propagate your own colonies.

Pond Plants for Beginners
Mosquito Fern
Mosquito Fern is surface-dwelling and gets its name from its ability to quickly cover the surface of the water which is thought to prevent mosquitos and other insects from laying eggs in the water.
This species is relatively small and grows to a length of around 1 inch, and has two rows of tiny leaves on either side of the stem.
It will continuously propagate and can double its size every 7-10 days. Because this grows extremely fast and requires little care, it can quickly cover the surface of a pond.
This can cause a reduction in dissolved oxygen in the water (which can be harmful to fish), so regular trimming is needed.
Creeping Jenny
This species also goes by the name Moneywort because of its small, penny-sized succulent green leaves. These leaves branch from the main stem which can grow up to 12 inches tall.
It can also produce small white/yellow flowers (depending on the species) which will attract bees and butterflies to your garden.
Creeping Jenny should be used as a marginal plant as it prefers wet substrate or water up to two inches deep where it will provide shade for juvenile fish and cover for fry.
Propagating it is very simple. As it grows it will begin to produce white roots at the leaf nodes. When they reach a couple of inches in length you should cut the stem an inch below the root system and replant the cutting elsewhere.
Parrots Feather
Parrots Feather has an underwater root system which can be either anchored into the substrate or can simply absorb nutrients from the water column.
This species gets its name from its small feather-like green leaves which branch from the stem. During the day, these leaves remain open to allow it to absorb the suns energy to photosynthesize. However, at night the leaves close together whilst they respire.
It is an invasive species due to its ability to rapidly grow breakaway stems and shoots causing it to out-compete native species.
This results in a lack of dissolved oxygen because the plant stops light penetrating the waters surface leading to decreased photosynthesis by other species.
Pond Flowers
This Water Iris is a semi-aquatic/bog plant which grows best in shallow water that will cover their crown throughout the year. It can also be placed in wet soil around the border of the pond.
It will need to be repotted in both cases every couple of years to encourage growth.
In order for this species to grow its stunning flowers, a general water fertilizer or a slow release fertilizer rock will need to be provided. With the aid of these fertilizers, this species can grow up to 5 feet.
After planting, this species will not bloom its blueish purple and yellow flowers during the first season. Instead it will usually take a full year.
Sweet Flag
Sweet Flag is a perennial herb which grows up to 60 inches. Its leafy 3-edged stems are green at their base which slowly darkens towards the tip. Their leaves are sword-shaped and wavy along the edges.
This species can be placed on the border of ponds or in the margins. However, only plants which are grown in the margins of the water will produce these flowers.
They are self-propagating through the production of creeping roots that produce rhizomes which can be cut and placed elsewhere or allowed to grow freely.
Pickerel
Pickerel is a marginal aquatic perennial species which grows to a height of 4 feet. It has spearhead-looking leaves that are bright green and grow to 7 inches in length.
It usually blooms its flowers in the late summer/early fall. The flowers are small and tubular with a deep blue coloration.
They should be planted in baskets with a mix of fertile clay, sand and humus along the shallow pond margins with full sunlight.
Koi Pond Plants
Water Smartweed
Water Smartweed should be planted in muddy substrates in shallow water regions of your Koi pond where it can absorb essential nutrients. Alternatively, it can float on the surface which will provide vital shade for your Koi.
It has a thick stem from which alternate dagger-like leaves protrude, and at the head of the stem there are a cluster of bright pink flowers.
Propagation of Water Smartweed occurs when the flowers produce a flattened oval-shaped dark seed which can be collected and potted until shoots and leaves are produced. At this point they can be planted in soil along the margins of the pond where the Koi cannot access them and uproot them.
Water Lotus
Depending on the species, Water Lotus can come in an array of sizes, varying in height from 18-60 inches. The smaller lotus species can reach a height of 12 inches with leaves 2-3 inches in diameter.
They also produce stunning flowers which vary in color and make a great addition for anyone looking to start water gardening.
This plant should be placed in a pot on a shelf within the pond.
The pot will prevent the Koi from uprooting it and special nets can also be bought to protect the plant from these fish.
Water Clover
This species floats on the surface, or can be submerged where they look similar in appearance to the lucky four-leaf clover.
The Water Clover produces rhizomes which spread through the substrate along the edge of the pond in sunny areas. These rhizomes can be cut and replanted in different locations.
This plant will provide shade for your Koi and shelter them from the heat, whilst also providing additional filtration to your water.
Most Hardy Pond Plants
Hornwort
Hornwort can not only be a floating plant but can also be anchored within the substrate. It just depends on the type of look you want within your pond.
Adding it to the pond as a floating species will not only provide shelter, but it will also provide shade and help combat unwanted algae growth.
Hornwort has a long green stem with branches every inch or so which lead into thin but darker green needle-like leaves.
It can be easily propagated through asexual reproduction via side shoots depending on the amount of light and nutrients (which can be added) and it should be kept in a pond with a stable pH of 6.0-7.5 and a temperature of 59-86°F.
Horsetail Reed
Horsetail Reeds should be planted in the substrate or potted and placed in the margins of the pond where there is plenty of light and room to grow.
The stem can grow up to 180cm tall and have tiny leaves fused to them which are very difficult to spot. It can be propagated by taking cuttings from the stem.
On the stem there will be dark rings called nodes. Cut the stems around an inch on either side of these nodes. Submerge these cuttings in water and from the nodes will sprout both a new stem and a root system. When this occurs, they can be repotted and submerged once again.
Water Soldier
This perennial plant is made up of serrated leaves which look like the top of a pineapple. Males produce clusters of small white flowers whereas females only produce a single flower.
It does well in both sunny and shaded areas along the pond's margins. During the summer months, it floats on the water's surface and the leaves protrude from the water.
During the colder periods it gets covered with a layer of slimy calcium carbonate and the plant then sinks back down to the bottom of the pond.
Floating Pond Plants
Floating Watermoss
Contrary to its name, Floating Watermoss is actually a floating aquatic fern. It is comprised of three leaves, two of which float on the surface of the water because they contain small pockets of air.
The third leaf is actually submerged beneath the surface and operates as the root system by absorbing nutrients from the water.
Floating Watermoss should be kept in a heated pond and placed in a sheltered area with direct sunlight. It is not a very hardy plant and should be removed from the pond during the colder months.
Waterlilies
Waterlilies are one of the most popular floating pond plants.
Their different colored flowers have certainly helped their popularity. The leaves provide essential cover for your fish and shade them from the heat during the summer.
To propagate this species, you should separate shoots and their root systems from the main pot and replant them into a separate basket before re-submerging them.
Water Chestnuts should be placed in the marginal substrate of the pond. From there, shoots will form and work their way to the surface of the water. It is here that floating, ridged diamond-shaped leaves will form.
As with all floating species, Water Chestnut blocks light from the sun which helps prevent algae growth and provides shelter for small water creatures and their young.
Propagation of Water Chestnut occurs when the plant produces small vegetables which sink to the waters substrate and begin the cycle all over again. These vegetables are also used in Chinese cuisine dishes around the world.
Fast Growing Pond Plants
Frogbit
Frogbit is similar in appearance to Water Lilies, but they are smaller in size. The leaves form rosettes which surround a white flower which blooms during July and August.
The leaves also sit on the surface of ponds, providing shelter for any water-dwelling organisms in your pond.
It should be planted just like Water Lilies, in a pot with substrate, in the shallow regions of your pond.
Because of Frogbit's ability to tolerate a wide range of water parameters and its fast growth rate, it has actually become an invasive species in the great lakes of North America and even Canada.
Duckweed is a small species of floating plant and is often found in large masses in lakes, ponds and rivers.
They are probably the easiest species to keep as the only things they require are nutrients within the water body, and light. When they have both of these, a few individuals can quickly turn into many as they are asexual and multiply readily through a process called vegetative reproduction.
These plants aid in water filtration by absorbing excess nutrients and harmful elements. The roots will also provide a safe place for juvenile fry of fish like Guppies to hide amongst.
Easy Maintenance Pond Plants
Corkscrew Rush
This species is an evergreen perennial species which forms clusters of corkscrew-like, leafless stems.
Every now and then, it will produce small clumps of brown flowers during the summer months.
Corkscrew Rush can be planted in any type of substrate along the border of the pond where their root systems can be kept moist enough for healthy growth.
It will give a very natural look to your pond whilst also providing a suitable habitat for any creatures occupying the region around the pond's borders.
This is easily propagated via the separation of its rhizomes which can be replanted.
Water Lettuce
The Water Lettuce, also known as the Water Cabbage is a green floating plant which looks like the vegetables after which it is named.
It has thick but soft leaves which give it the look of an opening lettuce or cabbage.
This plant is found in tropical freshwater bodies of South America, Africa and South East Asia through to Indonesia. They are considered an invasive species due to the fact they can populate almost all tropical freshwater bodies.
They are very easy to care for and providing you have a decent amount of light and add fertilizers to the water, it will reproduce in no time.
Water Hyacinth is an aquatic plant native to South America. In the Southern United States it is classified as an aggressive invasive species which inhabits ponds and slow flowing waterbodies.
This is a floating species which grows quickly in direct sunlight. Its large green leaves float on the surface of the water and has an erect stem which sports beautiful purple and blue flowers with a yellow center.
Beneath the water, the dark black roots can reach a length of up to 12 inches providing an ideal habitat for fry of fish like Platy to hide amongst.
Plants can occupy a variety of different regions within your pond, from being fully submersed within the water to free floating at the surface.
Some prefer shallow water and others prefer deeper water which gives them more room to grow.
The species discussed throughout this article also have different functions within the pond's ecosystem. They can provide additional filtration, as well as give fish shade from the sun, shelter from predation and a place for them to lay their eggs.
They also absorb excess nutrients from the water which would otherwise be consumed by unwanted algae, resulting in green water rather than a crystal-clear pond. Algae consuming fish like Siamese Algae Eaters can also help control algae within your pond.

How can I notify managers when the number of New and Open tickets exceeds a certain threshold?
Alissa Wilczynski
I'd like to set up notifications for our managers, so they know they need to schedule additional staff on support. I'd like to be able to set a trigger that would email them when the total number of tickets in particular statuses (in this case, New & Open or New, Open, and Pending) reaches a certain threshold. I had this set up using "number of incidents" in the trigger settings, but it turns out that is related to "incident" type tickets. In my situation, I do not care what the ticket type is, only its status and the count of them. Is there a way to do this?
I should also be specific - my problem is in finding a way for Zendesk to count the number of tickets in a certain status and use that in the trigger. It's clearly possible in Explore, but I can't trigger off those values AFAIK.
Hi Alissa –
While it's not possible to do exactly what you're asking in Zendesk natively (there's no way to set such a threshold in triggers, for example), Chandra Robrock, one of our Community Moderators, published a method of using Zapier and Slack to create such alerts: How To Create a Slack Notification When a Ticket View Reaches a Specific Threshold
It is possible to have a widget in an Explore dashboard change color when a metric reaches a certain threshold, however: Adding alert thresholds to Explore live data widgets

Wendell Berry is a farmer-author whose work in essays, poems and novels expresses an agrarian ecology that seeks to integrate a deep concern for the natural world with the production of food. His work is not without its critics. To some he is a naive romantic wishing to return the American countryside to a bygone era and to others his environmentalism sits at odds with a generally socially conservative worldview. The poem The Mad Farmer Liberation Front is a provocative piece of writing with an intentionally provocative title. At the heart of the poem is a certain ambiguity about who is mad and who is being liberated from whom.
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbours and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mould. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion – put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie down in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Who is the 'Mad Farmer' the farmer that pursues the 'quick profit' or the farmer that 'listens to carrion'?
In what ways might being a 'fool for Christ' (1 Corinthians 4:10) mirror the tension which Wendell Berry highlights about being a 'Mad Farmer'?
How do we balance feeding a growing global population with respect for nature?

Kate Ferdinand posts new baby bump pic after sharing pregnancy exhaustion
Emma's Diary | 6th July 2020
'Some days I feel terrible and have to go back to bed'
Kate Ferdinand has shared another beautiful baby bump snap.
The former TOWIE star and ex-footballer hubby Rio Ferdinand announced that they were expecting their first child together last month.
The couple shared a lovely reaction video capturing the moment they told Rio's three children with late wife Rebecca.
In the new pic posted on her Instagram stories, Kate wrote: "Unsure why I keep having photos touching my bump… but here I am doing it again."
The mum-to-be looked radiant in the snap but she's revealed that her pregnancy has not been all plain sailing so far.
In another post last week she said: "Honestly, I've just been so exhausted I don't know wether I'm coming or going😫 how I've been feeling has been changing daily so I've found it hard to share anything because I don't really know how I feel myself
"🤣 .... any other pregnant women feeling the same? Or am I losing my mind??"
She went on to say: "It's taken me some time to really get used to the fact that I'm growing a little human in me and to slow down.
"I'm always running around a hundred miles an hour, trying to do everything and taking it easy is just not in my makeup, it's taken some adjustments 🙏🏻."
A post shared by Kate Ferdinand (@xkateferdinand) on Jun 29, 2020 at 3:53am PDT
The fitness guru said she had been working out for the first 8 weeks but that she had then felt "absolutely exhausted, I really struggled with everything, I just felt sick tired and all over the place constantly".
She added: "It was hard for my mind but I really had to listen to my body; rest & take it easy. When I say take it easy, I took it very easy there was lots of naps and not a lot of anything else 🤣😴"
Kate went on to say that after 12 weeks things got a little better and she was able to work out again, which she likened to "therapy".
She continued: "Saying all of this, there are still days I feel absolutely wiped out, have terrible migraines & I do just go back to bed. In all honestly those days I feel so useless and have been having terrible guilt that I'm not around for the kids and Rio is doing everything 😫
"It's such an amazing feeling having a little human inside of you, our family is so excited but it's also so scary being pregnant for the first time."

Q: Google App Engine gives spurious content at beginning of page after quiescent period I'm developing an app in Python for Google App Engine.
When I run the deployed app from appspot, it works fine unless I'm accessing it for the first time in over, say, 5 minutes.  The problem is that if I haven't accessed the app for a while, the page renders with the message

Status: 200 OK Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT Content-Length: 15493

prepended at the top.  Usually that text is displayed for a second or two before the rest of the page is displayed.
If I check the server Logs, I see the info message

This request caused a new process to be started for your application, and thus caused your application code to be loaded for the first time.

The problem is easily corrected by refreshing the page.  In this case, the page is delivered correctly, and works for subsequent refreshes.  But if I wait 5 minutes, the problem comes back.
Any explanations, or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?  I've got a vague notion that when GAE "wakes up" after being inactive, there is an incorrect initialization going on.  Or perhaps a header from a previous bout of activity is lingering in a buffer somewhere.  But self.response.out seems to be empty when the request handler is invoked.

A: Somewhere in your top level module code is something that uses Python print statements. Print outputs to standard out, which is what is returned as the response body; if it outputs a pair of newlines, the content before that is treated by the browser as the response header. The 'junk' you're seeing is the real response headers being produced by your webapp.
It's only happening on startup requests, because that's the only time the code in question gets executed.

Reds Get Bad News on Lucas Sims' Injury Update
By Max Staley
Cincinnati Reds get bad news on Lucas Sims' injury update. / Kareem Elgazzar/The Enquirer / USA TODAY
The Cincinnati Reds got hit with a bit of bad news on Sunday, as it was revealed that Lucas Sims is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day. He's reportedly able to throw bullpen sessions, but had "hiccups" as he was preparing to get ready for Opening Day.
Lucas Sims Update
David Bell said Lucas Sims likely won't be ready by Opening Day. He's not injured, but less time to prepare for season with shortened camp. https://t.co/73EnSFuI08
— Bobby Nightengale (@nightengalejr) March 20, 2022
It's not like this is the end of the world, but it's obviously not the update that Reds fans were hoping to get.
Sims was excellent in limited action in 2020, pitching to a 2.45 ERA in 25 2/3 innings. But his development took a step back in 2021, as he earned a 4.40 ERA in a larger sample size of 47 innings. And the fact that he's already a little hobbled isn't exactly the best sign, either.
Hopefully the extra time off can help Sims get things back on track in 2022.

WTAJ WEB 1ST: Police collecting toys by not giving tickets
Daily Originals
by: Allison Gens
Posted: Nov 1, 2018 / 05:13 PM EDT / Updated: Mar 1, 2019 / 04:41 PM EST
This month, if a St. Marys police officer catches a driver with a minor traffic violation, instead of a citation, an officer may hand the driver a card.
"Just kind of a courtesy card to say hey, we found you in violation of some motor vehicle law, but here's an opportunity to make good by helping out the kids," Chief Nicklas said.
The cards encourage drivers to drop off a toy to the police station in exchange for not getting a ticket.
All toys will go to Project Gifts for Elk County, which collects new toys for kids in need up to age 10.
Gifts for Elk County President Bob Roberts said the program was started by two policemen, and law enforcement have been involved ever since.
"It shows the children that policemen can be your friend, and that they're a good person to go to in time of need too," Roberts said.
This is the second year the department's collecting toys.
The program will distribute gifts to more than 400 children in Elk County.
"Over 400 happy children that we've made Christmas for them, and the generosity of the community has helped provide that Christmas," Roberts said.
While this drive is during the season of giving, Chief Nicklas said his officers want to give back year-round.
"They want to be doing more than just enforcing laws, they want to be a member of the community and do things for their community," Chief Nicklas said. "It really makes me feel great."
The department will be collecting gifts until November 20. There is no need to be pulled over to drop off toys at the police station.

This is a very interesting book that focuses on Buffett's pre-Berkshire Hathaway days, when he used to operate more akin to a hedge-fund manager vs. owner-operator + captive insurance as capital supplier model he used after.
Buffett charged 25% performance fee above 6% threshold because he figured the market was going up 5-7% a year on average. He also had a high watermark which means the cumulative return had to be above 6% before he'd start taking his fee.
Additions and redemptions could be made only once a year (forcing investors to look at their performance from a LT perspective. Those who needed, could borrow as much as 20% of their capital at 6% interest.
Buffett's first partnership was started with people he cared about deeply, which undoubtedly influenced how he structured the fees. He also charged a lower fee when the partners were willing to take on more risk [interest thought here is how is risk defined and how he and his partners agreed on its definition].
While it's easy to pigeonhole Graham purely as a deep-value investor, Graham paid up for quality when he bought GEICO–and he made more money from GEICO than all his other activities (not just investments) combined.
It's also important to remember that Graham was a child of the Great Depression and his investing framework perhaps reflected some of that experience.
The really big money tends to be made by investors who are right on qualitative decisions, but the more sure money tends to be made on the obvious quantitative decisions.
Buffett told his partners at BPL that they should expect his investments to tilt toward Generals when market was falling and toward Workouts (M&A, liquidations, re-orgs, spin-offs etc.) when the market was rising.
As for using leverage, he thought that some borrowed money is warranted against a portfolio of Workouts but very dangerous against Generals.
As for diversification, Buffett thought that if one could identify six wonderful businesses, that is all the diversification you need.
While I much prefer a five-year test, I feel three years is the absolute minimum for judging performance… with exception being the three years covering a speculative explosion in a bull market.

California Considers Funding Abortion Tourism As Part Of Plan To Become 'Sanctuary' If Roe Is Overturned
December 8, 2021 2 min read Butch Riley
California is considering funding abortions for out-of-state women as part of a 45-part proposal to expand abortion accessibility if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
The California Future of Abortion Council, started by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and made up of abortion providers and advocacy groups, published recommendations "to protect, strengthen, and expand abortion care in California" in early December. Toni Atkins, the San Diego Democrat who leads the state Senate, helped to develop the recommendations, according to AP.
"We'll be a sanctuary," Newsom said, according to ABC News. "We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections."
If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, states may have greater latitude to restrict abortions in the first six months of pregnancy. While states like California are expected to continue offering elective abortions into the late stages of pregnancy, Mississippi and other conservative states would likely limit elective abortions.
"Extreme pro-abortion leaders in California are marching in lockstep with the profit-driven abortion lobby, working to convince women that they need access to abortion to succeed," Prudence Robertson, a spokesperson for the Susan B. Anthony List, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The California Future of Abortion Council recommendations aim to expand abortion funding to cover an influx of women from other states where abortions may be restricted, including by refunding abortion clinics that provide abortions at no cost to those who cannot afford them. California already pays for abortions for low-income residents, and the state requires insurance providers to pay for abortions, ABC News reported.
Other proposals the council provided include promoting racial diversity in the abortion industry workforce, providing educational scholarships to those who want to perform abortions in rural areas, requiring educational programs on abortion for family medicine clinics and protecting abortion providers from civil and criminal liability.

European Hero Stories - E. M. Tappan
Theodoric The Ostrogoth
In 476, one year before the death of Genseric the Vandal, a Goth named O-do-a'cer became ruler of Italy. He had taken the throne from the handsome boy who had been ruling as Emperor, permitting him to escape and allowing him 6000 gold pieces a year. The Roman Senate, which had once been a courageous and patriotic body of men, decided that there was no longer any Western Empire, and that its rule belonged to the Emperor in the East, whose capital was Constantinople. The Emperor accepted this view, and left Odoacer in Italy to represent him. This event is called the fall of the Western Empire.
REMAINS OF THE PALACE OF THEODORIC AT RAVENNA, ITALY.
In this same year, 476, The-od'o-ric became king of the Ostrogoths, or Goths of the East. The Emperor in the East had hired this nation to defend the lower Danube, and Theodoric, a little boy of the royal family, had been sent to Constantinople as a hostage, or pledge that his people would keep their promises. When Theodoric grew up and became king, the Emperor permitted him to go and drive Odoacer out of Italy. Theodoric started with his army, and with all the rest of his tribe, for they meant not only to drive out Odoacer, but to make their homes in Italy.
THE EMPEROR JUSTINIAN
(FROM A MOSAIC OF THE 6TH CENTURY IN AN ANCIENT CHURCH AT RAVENNA)
There were three fierce battles. Finally it was agreed that Odoacer and Theodoric should rule with equal powers. Before long, however, Theodoric treacherously murdered Odoacer and became sole ruler of Italy. He meant to rule like the Romans, but more wisely. He chose from the old Roman laws those which he thought just. He broke up the vast estates of the very wealthy and made many small farms, so that much more grain was raised. He built many handsome buildings, and he encouraged his subjects to read and study. The emperors in the East were doing their best to keep back the hordes of Huns and other barbarians, and it really began to seem as if Italy would grow into a powerful, well-governed country with Goths for its rulers.
That might have come to pass if a brilliant man named Jus-tin'i-an had not become ruler in the Eastern Empire after the death of Theodoric. His great wish was to bring back Italy and Africa to the Empire. Fortunately for him, he had an officer named Bel-i-sa'ri-us, who was not only a skillful general, but who had the power of making his soldiers eager to follow him. Under his lead, Italy and Africa were regained, the Vandals in Africa were scattered, and the Goths in Italy were hopelessly beaten. Justinian brought together all that was known of the Roman law, and it is upon his collection that the governments of the chief countries of Europe are founded. While he lived, there seemed some hope that the Empire would be mighty again; but as soon as he died, it was the same weak, tottering realm that it had been just before his day.
