Q: Google Apps Script: Concatenating date and time [UPDATED]: To create a google calendar event using AppsScript we can use the simple method of createEvent(eventName, startTime, endTime). I have worked with this and did not have any issues. But the only date format I have used was the long date/time format in the google sheets (e.g. 3/9/2021 13:30:00).
Using the code below I want to combine date and time columns into a single Date object to feed into createEvent() method but get and error of Invalid Date.

function calendarSyncNew() {
  var dataSheet = mySheet;
  var calendarId = calendarId;
  var eventCal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calendarId);
  var eventArray = dataSheet.getRange('A2:E').getValues();

  for (x = 0; x < eventArray.length; x++) {

    var event = eventArray[x];
    var eventName = event[3];
    var eventDate = event[0];
    var timeZone = event[4];
    var startTime = new Date(`${eventDate} ${event[1]} ${timeZone}`);
    var endTime = new Date(`${eventDate} ${event[2]} ${timeZone}`);
    eventCal.createEvent(eventName, startTime, endTime);
    Logger.log(`startTime is: ${startTime}`);
    Logger.log(`endTime is: ${endTime}`);
  }

}

A: I assume this question is related to your previous question? If that's the case, kindly see the sample data I used and the script below:
Sample Data:

Script:
  // use getDisplayValues for getting the string equivalent of the data instead
  // filter out rows without values in column A
  var eventArray = dataSheet.getRange('A2:I')
                            .getDisplayValues()
                            .filter(x => x[0] != '');

  eventArray.forEach(event => {
    var eventName = event[4];
    var startTime = new Date(`${event[0]} ${event[1]} ${event[3]}`);
    var endTime = new Date(`${event[0]} ${event[2]} ${event[3]}`);
    eventCal.createEvent(eventName, startTime, endTime);
  });

Output:

Output was adjusted to my timezone so it doesn't reflect the dates from the sample data properly but it checks out.

Ok boys this is for FIRST place.
There's no dening this will be the hardest battle we will face. Hacks is practically ES but in TT form.
I'm out for this match (honeymoon in thailand). Perhaps we should get blackarc in the squad? We'll need his expertise on SnD i would say.


As the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States, the Sierra Club is facing a problem shared by most companies in today's modern age, non-profit or not: how to recruit and engage members of the next generation. Founded in 1892, it is certainly not the first time Sierra Club has had to find innovative approaches to evolve its membership engagement practices, but with the acceleration of technology advances, they came to Topcoder looking for fresh ideas.
1st place [ToxicPixel]: "Digital Dissident" mobile app that takes a SeeClickFix crowdsourcing approach to reporting and acting on local environmental problems.
2nd place [chuxy111]: "Lights Out!" mobile app that allows users to report light pollution levels in their area.
3rd place [claygirl]: "DIY Hi-tech Birdwatching Kit" a blueprint for an inexpensive kit for kids to create an automated bird watching device to wake up and capture images of birds as they trigger a motion sensor located next to a bird feeder. The idea also extends to a website to help kids identify and share their findings.
4th place [rh_abror]: "Green Planet Festivals" series of ideas around college campus festivals to encourage young people to become interested in ecological causes.

In the meantime, get out there and do some good!


CAR HIRE SOUTH COAST DIANI.
Kenya's South Coast has a more rustic feel than Nyali or any of the other suburban beaches immediately north of Mombasa, partially due to its logistical dislocation from the island-bound city, to which it is connected not by a road bridge but by the steady-but-slow Likoni ferry service. Car hire South of the ferry, the surfaced A14 sticks to within 2 to 3km (1 to 2 miles) of the seashore for most of its length, veering further inland only as it approaches the Lunga Lunga border with Tanzania, about 120km (72 miles) south of Mombasa Diani beach Ukunda.
Development on the Diani Air Strip Ukunda has been fairly intense, not only in terms of tourist accommodation, which includes dozens of large resorts and several smaller beach hotels, but in a whole range of ancillary services. There's a number of shopping centres, several banks and ATMs, a hospital, restaurants, hairdressing salons, laundromats, DVD rental stores, craft stalls, internet cafés in Diani South coast Ukunda.
Vehicle hire like Saloon, training facilities and equipment for snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, glass-bottomed boating and deep-sea fishing. Hotels here range from air-conditioned concrete and glass to vintage, open villa-style fanned by breezes off the ocean. We offer car hire & rental services ranging from saloon 4wd suv assorted water sports and deep-sea fishing, have good restaurants, and arrange day tours to Mombasa's old town and other sites along the south coast, such as Shimba Hills or Wasini Island, a popular option with those on extended beach package holidays in Ukunda Diani.
The whale shark, the world's largest fish, is an elusive, highly migratory oceanic fish that occasionally ventures to a handful of coastlines, swimming with one is truly a memorable experience.Whale shark satellite tagging expeditions take place on Kenya's beautiful south coast in the months of February to April each year.The Kenyan coast has in the recent past seen an increase in whale shark population and there is almost guaranteed sightings of these elusive giants.

YouTubers open the ropes to boxing's new audience
LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 09: Referee Jack Reiss deducts 2 points from the score card of Logan Paul (red/white/blue shorts) after he punched KSI (black/red shorts) after a knock down in their pro debut fight at Staples Center on November 9, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. KSI won by decision. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)
By SPONSORED / AFFILIATE POST 3 years ago
With the coronavirus pandemic having a vice-like grip on the global boxing landscape, members of the NJ sports betting community are left with a lack of options to wager on. Although big-name fights are left in limbo, stars from a digital platform are now ready to step into the ring.
It is fair to say that there are many reasons behind the growing trend of YouTubers getting in the boxing ring; an additional level of fame, increased social media standing, or an eye-watering amount of money for your efforts, to name just three.
While although YouTube sensations duking off in the ring seems to be the latest combative fad, one does question how long can this last and can it become the new product in which to sell Pay-Per-Views?
Many promoters know that they are walking a fine line when entering this new chapter of staging events, a line that needs to be balanced between bringing in new audiences or scaring off the already established one.
However, with the media landscape getting all the more crowded and even more so in the sporting realm, boxing is one of the sports that knows it needs to evolve to stay with the times, especially with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) gaining more mainstream traction by the year.
While it is the UFC that can almost draw similar parallels to YouTube boxing and if there's anything that sells in terms of fighting, it is the element otherwise known as the 'freak show' – something so bizarre, that you just have to watch it.
Launched back in 1993, the UFC was billed as 'No Holds Barred' and with the flimsiest of restrictions it certainly lived up to its moniker, as fights that you could previously only imagine were now playing out in front of your very eyes.
The, at-times, barbaric freak shows certainly did not scare anyone off, and thanks to the likes of Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie, and Dan Sevren, the UFC was quickly transforming from underground hit to national and even international acceptance.
Of course, the more exposure and fandom it received, the more ire it drew from the United States government, and after much pressure from the likes of Senator John McCain, a tougher rulebook and enforced legislation would be needed to secure its long-term future.
Ultimately, it was the bizarre that sold, and although Dana White now presents a much-polished MMA product these days, the early days of bloodshed and all-out violence are what gave it the launchpad it needed.
While although YouTube boxers are not dishing out guillotine chokes or heel hooks, they do now possess that same kind of freak show factor, and that is why the likes of Logan Paul and KSI are commanding so much interest when they square off.
For their armies of followers, it is a chance to see one of their favorites in rather strange surroundings and, more importantly, to support them in what is usually a challenge to end a longstanding digital grudge.
On the other hand, for ardent boxing fans or even casual ones for that matter, it is a chance to pay your money and take a seat for the latest fighting carnival in town – a festival, that can only be considered as good business for any promoter who is prepared to risk his livelihood.
A perfect example of this is the second meeting between Logan Paul and KSI, one that ended up being the third most-streamed fight on the DAZN platform and only behind Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev.
Also, UK audiences are not all that far behind in terms of viewing figures, and with over 200,000 Pay-Per-View buys at approximately 12 dollars a time, you can soon understand why YouTubers want to get in the ring.
Critics will argue that the war of words before a fight is manufactured, and although there may be a significant element of truth to that, everything knows that controversy makes the most cash.
It's certainly not an element of the sweet science that is to everyone's taste, but there's no denying that it is attracting a younger set of eyes to the sport. If Logan Paul is the hook, then Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury are very much the meat on the bones.
That is why YouTubers are being used as a gateway to bring in new fans, and with pugilism perhaps being marginalized over the past decade or so, this could be the catalyst for a top-level resurgence in the sport and one that sees boxing once again claim mainstream heavyweight gold.

Lockheed Martin (LMT) Wins $81M Deal to Upgrade F-35 Program
Lockheed Martin Corp.'s LMT business segment, Aeronautics, recently clinched a modification contract to procure air vehicle initial spare parts for the F-35 Lightning III aircraft. Work related to the deal is scheduled to be over by December 2023.
Details of the Deal
Valued at $81 million, the contract was awarded by the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD. Per the terms of the agreement, the spare parts to be supplied by Lockheed Martin include afloat spares packages, Marine Corps quick engine change kits and associated consumables. This deal will support the air vehicle delivery schedules for Navy and Marine Corps.
The majority of the work will be carried out in Fort Worth, TX; El Segundo and Torrance, CA; Owego, NY; Samlesbury, United Kingdom; Cheltenham, United Kingdom and Nashua, NH. The company will utilize fiscal 2018 aircraft procurement (Navy and Marine Corps) funds to finance the contract.
The deal includes 54% of the work for the U.S. Navy and 46% for the U.S. Marine Corps.
A Brief Note on F-35
F-35 Lightning is a supersonic, multi-role fighter jet, which represents a quantum leap in air-dominance capability, offering enhanced lethality and survivability in hostile, anti-access airspace environments. Its advanced stealth allows pilots to penetrate into areas without being detected by enemy radars. It is being used by the defense forces of the United States and 11 other nations, worldwide, largely due to its advanced stealth, integrated avionics, sensor fusion, superior logistics support and powerful integrated sensors capabilities.
What's Favoring Lockheed Martin?
The F-35 program, being Lockheed Martin's largest program, generated 27% of its total consolidated net sales in second-quarter 2018. Further, the company's Aeronautics division generated solid year-over-year revenue growth of 8.1%, primarily driven by higher net sales of approximately $370 million from the F-35 program. Considering the latest contract win supporting the low-rate initial production (LRIP) of the 11th lot, we may expect the Aeronautics unit to reflect similar solid performance in the upcoming quarterly results as well.
Moreover, production of F-35 is expected to rise in the years ahead, given the U.S. government's current inventory objective of 2,456 aircraft for the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy along with commitments from the company's current eight international partners, overseas customers and rising global demand.
Furthermore, the fiscal 2019 defense budget, which was approved by the U.S. Senate in June 2018, provisioned for a spending plan of $21.7 billion on aircraft. Specifically, the new budget includes an allotment of $10.7 billion along with additional funding for the procurement of 97 Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. Evidently, these projections and recent developments reflect solid growth prospects for Lockheed Martin's F-35 program going ahead, which, in turn, are likely to boost the company's profit margin.
Price Movement
Lockheed Martin's stock has gained about 6.5% in the past year compared with the industry's growth of 22.1%. The underperformance may be due to intense competition that the company faces in the aerospace-defense space for its broad portfolio of products and services, both domestically as well as internationally.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Lockheed Martin currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A few better-ranked stocks in the same sector are Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings AJRD, Engility Holdings EGL and Huntington Ingalls Industries HII.

What's the longest shot you have taken?
What is the AVERAGE distance that you shoot with a rifle, regardless of type of game.
0-50 yards
50-100 yards
over 500 yards
This poll will close: Feb 7, 2106 6:28 AM .
I'll bet that 90% of all shots are taken under 200 yards. Keeping in mind that thousands of hunters use 30-30s, which means that shots are well under 100 yards, that should mean that the national average is probably 100 yards.
I may put this in the form of a poll, but for the time being, answer these two questions:
1) What is the longest shot you have taken?
2) What do you think is the average distance of all of your shots?
Let me start:
1) Believe it or not, it's probably no more than 150 yards.
2) Average is probably a little under 100 yards.
SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMING RESPONSES TO THIS POST, AND AS IT WOULD TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO COMPUTE AND ANALYZE ALL OF THESE RESPONSES, I HAVE DECIDED TO TRANSFORM THIS POST INTO A POLL IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE RESPONSES IN A MORE CONCISE, VISUAL MANNER.
AS SUCH, PLEASE INDICATE, WITHIN THE CHOICES ALOTTED, WHAT IS THE AVERAGE DISTANCE YOU TAKE YOUR SHOTS WITH A RIFLE, REGARDLESS OF GAME. [/color]
Deer, 427 paces, so about 427 yds. (I'm a trained orienteering instructor, I know how long my pace is because I have to) Varmint 642 paces.
Deer was .30-06, varmint was .243 w/55 gr. BT
Average shot is probably 125-150 yds out here in SD.

Longest shot on Deer, 210 yds measured with a laser rangefinder. Avg. probably 100-125 yds. unless you want to average in the ones with a bow, and then it comes way down. :wink:
Lord, Please help me
Keep my small mind open
and my big mouth shut.
My guess is about 200 yards for a couple shots. But had no rangefinder in those days and don't think I'd have been able to get a reading regardless. Firts was across a hollow to the hill opposite. Just waited for an opening and shot with the Rem. 7 in 7-08 that is now Mrs. GB's. Other was taken with my original R700 Mtn. Rifle in .270 Win. in an area of woods that recently had the pines cut out. In both cases there was enough trees and brush no rangefinder would have done much good. I'm very familiar with both areas tho and believe about 200 yards is an accuate guess on both.
My average shot is well under 100 yards. As a matter of fact with the exception of those two above I don't think I've made another shot over 100 yards on white tail deer. I've taken more at 25-35 yards than over 75 yards I'd guess.

Longest shot was 240yds on a buck. First "shot" was on an empty chamber (DOOOH!), next shot missed since I was so flustered over the first mishap, next shot drilled him thru the heart (luckily he stopped just before he ducked back in the woods).
Average is probably right around 100yds since some of the others have been between 20yds and 165yds, with most under 100.

Average for whitetail kills 32.5 yards
Missed shots average about 200 (some were close but deer was at maximum warp)
My brother and I practice up to 500 yards, what a confidence builder on game day. Longest shot at game just over 400 and another at 350 yards, dropped them both. I hate tracking others mistakes, both were previously wounded. Taken several 200 to 300 yard range. All with 30-06 165 grain BT. (got a coyote at 550 yds once with a .243). Average shot whitetails for me is about 25 yards.

Just made my longest shot this year on a mule deer in Mecker Colorado. I made a double lung shot at 632 yards with my Abolt 7 mag. Yea, another mag lover.
I had a range finder that gave me the distance. I was shooting uphill and had to hold about 3 feet high. I didn't really think I could hit him but I have been shooting that rifle for years and had a good idea where to place the shot. Dang, if it didn't hit him!!! He dropped like a bomb hit him in the head.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Graybeard, read again. It say he double lunged it, it dropped "like a bomb hit it in the head"
Yea, I originally thought the same thing GB thought.
In any event, I personally would have never taken such a shot. My feeling is that, even if you are an excellent sharpshooter, shooting long distances in the field is different that shooting under controlled conditions at the bench.
I can't imagine having a holdover of 3 feet.

Oophs. My bad. Been a long day and I just didn't read it right. Obviously if he hit where he was intending to for him on that shot it wasn't too far. Still the comment applies to way too many even if not to him on this shot.
I am CAL.........
I have made one or two long shots at 400 plus yards.This was many years ago though.I limit my shots now to 100 to 150 yards for max.distance.I try for a head shot if at all possible.Game is much easier to dress and cleaner.Most deer in my part of the world are killed at ranges more like 30 to 50 yds.We have to find a field to shoot greater distances.I am CAL....
JOE MACK
Longest and average shot
The longest distance I've killed an animal at is 500+/- yards. I've done this several times on prairie dogs. I don't take shots like this a big game. Mostly I handgun hunt so 50-75yards is average. My motto is get as close as you can and then get a little closer. I can shoot center of mass on a man-sized target at 600 meters all day in FIELD POSITIONS with my tactical rifle so it's not lack of shooting skill that prevents me from taking game at long distance. I'm just one of the people who doesn't think I need the animal that badly. Murphy is always at one's shoulder and I like to stack the deck in my favor (i.e. getting as close as I can). This is what I think hunting is all about. JMHO RKBA!

387 paces or about 350 yards on an antelope with a 30.06. I think my average shot is about 50 yards. I do practice shooting offhand at 300 yards. That's why I shot the antelope using a bipod in the prone position.

Where I hunt in Mich U.P (big woods) a long shot is probably 70-100yds. The longest I have shot is 150yds. The shortest was 12 paces. Funny thing . . . both were a thrill. Average shot is about 60 yds.
Life is short......eternity is long.
Let's put this in perspective because, like many other things, it's relative.
I wouldn't criticize someone shooting deer at over 400 yards IF[/color]the hunter is confident in shooting at that distance.
IT'S NOT THE DISTANCE THAT NECESSARILY MATTERS...IT'S THE SHOOTER THAT MATTERS.[/color]
Some people can shoot deer very accurately at 400+ yards. For these people, I don't criticize.
Some people CAN'T shoot deer very accurately at 100 yards. I would feel comfortable criticizing these people if they took shots over 100 yards.
Personally, I don't feel comfortable taking shots past 300 yards, so I don't take them. But that doesn't mean that other people, who CAN EASILY make such shots, should be criticized for taking such shots.
Your point about getting closer to an animal is almost as much about personal preference as it is ethics. If someone can shoot very accurately over 400 yards, and he doesn't want to get closer, then NO ONE [/color]should criticize him. To such a hunter, long shots are just as much of a challenge as getting to within 10 yards of the animal.
Just put things into perspective. :wink:
Idaho Shooter
Longest Shot
Here in central western Idaho where I live and hunt, it is common to need the ability to make a 300 to 400 yd shot. I and many of my friends who also hunt here or in eastern Oregon practice for that type of shot.
My friends shoot 25-06, 270, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06, 7 STW. I carried a 30-06 loaded with 165 Nos bt @ 2900 fps for years, but have recently given it up for a 7 STW, as well as the 264 Win Mag my son usually carries.
Our rifles are usually equipped with 3-9X40 or 4-12X40 optics and Harris bipods, and are sighted to 0 at 300 yds. This will give a midrange rise of 3.5 to 6 in depending on cartridge and velocity. I have a trajectory chart taped to the side of my buttstock with readings to 500 yd, although I have never needed to take a shot at over 400 yd on game.
I carry a Bushnell 800 yd compact range finder.
The longest shot I have ever needed to make was 400 yd, clean one shot kill, prone with the bipod. And I also have killed a couple of deer at ten to fifteen yds, funny thing is that on both of these shots,after the deer were dead I realized my Burris 4-12 was set on 12 power. I didn't find it to be a handicap.
The reason for our style of shooting is because of our terrain. We usually hunt from horseback. We ride the trails on Nat'l Forest which are often located on a ridge top or near the top. From the trails you often can see one or both slopes of the ridge you are on as well as the opposing ridge slopes. Most of the time we have a view with a radius of up to a mile.
Even though we have a lot of brush and timber, it is usually confined to pockets. If one sees game go into one of these pockets, one can usually find a vantage point overlooking it and wait for the game to come out.
Deer and elk will often see us at the same time we see them. At 400 yd they will often stand and watch as we dismount, tie the horses, and set up for the shot, if it is early in the season. If it is late in the season and the game has been hunted hard they will spook and run at 600 to 800 yd.
We prepare for big game season by hunting the Columbian ground squirrel. He is a little guy, maybe six inches tall when standing on his hind legs, for a large adult. When scurrying about the ground, he is 2 1/2 in tall by six inches long. The desert hills surrounding our homes are extremely overpopulated with these guys. Sometimes you can count hundreds of them dead on a five mile stretch of road near my home. There are simply so many of them they get run over crossing the road, then you see the living run out to ingest the dead and they get run over also.
We practice in the spring and early summer by shooting these little squirrels out to 300 yds using our game rifles and field positions. It is very easy to burn up 200 rounds in each of a couple of big game rifles in a day for each person. The only problem is cooling the barrels.
We feel if we can reliably kill these small rodents at 300 yd, then we are competent to hit the vitals of a deer or elk to 400 yd. I do shoot my rifles on paper to 500 yd, but am not confident of a clean kill on game at that range, so I do not attempt it.
muddyboots Sep 29, 2003


Back to the estate lake for a short afternoon / early evening session with Jim and Mel plus a new bait – Dynamite Monster Tiger nut Red Amo boilies, plus matching glug and harden hook baits.
I picked the harden baits to get 22mm (ers) to hopefully snare the larger girls. I explained to Mel these were designed for 'monstrous' carp hence the name.
Either way the bait read well in reviews, in videos online and looked good (slightly washed out) so why not – having said that I could not resist my own edge, Dunn River Coconut Milk, half a tin per kilo.
Now the snag from the previous visit was still fresh in my mind so I set up casting to "the" spot from a different angle and if I got a take the carp should arc left, and by keeping a tight(ish) clutch it should sail passed the snag thereby solving that little carppuzzle.
Out went two different set ups.
The KD (which I have great confidence in), drilled 15mm plus buoyant corn snowman style to produce a gently wafting (natural) presentation.
Then scattered (that's what happens when a seven year gets her hands on the catapult) 30 or so baits near the spot, kettle on, and then we settled down to watch the water.
The more I think about this lake the less likely I think there is anything over 20lb. It's quite shallow all over, probably only six feet at its deepest and having chatted to the bailiff, it was restocked about three years ago, high doubles are the most likely outcome.
And finally, that snag is an old fence, posts and all.
Just then the left rod bleeped into life and as predicted the carp headed for the fence line, slowing the clutch with my hand it swept passed the snag and headed for the margin to my left. I had to apply more pressure to get her around the trees and into the net – a good looking mirror. Great to get off the mark with a new bait.
Mel fired out a few more coconut enriched boilies while the mirror rested. Then as I was breaking the net down the right rod left out a solid tone and something was taking line.
Jim grabbed the rod and luckily this carp headed right along the reed line. Unhooking the mirror on the net I was then able to net Jim's common as it came in easily.
Sweet – two upper doubles but no monsters to match our baits from Dymamite.
Not sure if we'll be back but I'm confident these boilies will solve the carppuzzle and produce good fish wherever we next visit.

Black History Program
By Erin / February 13, 2013
The University of West Georgia's Black Student Alliance (BSA) is presenting a program entitled "Black History Three Sixty Five: Celebrating Black History beyond February". A large turnout is expected for the event.
Members of the BSA, the biggest Black organization on campus, decided that this year they should organize an event that recognizes legendary figures of Black History in a way that would edify and uplift the entire student population at UWG.
BSA member Brooke Lane explained how the organization came up with the concept for the program. "We cater to over 500 Black students, but we wanted to come up with an idea that would attract more than just those students," said Lane. "We want this program to appeal to all races of students and for them to come together to acknowledge Black history. We have so many Black pioneers in the arenas of music, art, journalism, politics and activism that deserve to be honored."
Lane and the other members of the E-board of BSA wanted to host an original event and spearhead what will hopefully become an annual tradition. The goal is for that the event to attract the entire spectrum of students at UWG.
The program will feature segments about Whitney Houston, Sam Cooke, Langston Hughes, Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Don Cornelius and Rosa Parks. Auditions for the program were held on January 23 and the selected participants are now rehearsing.
For the program, students will act out the parts of these figures with song, speech and excerpts to recognize their accomplishments and their significance in Black history.
"Black History Three sixty Five" will be held on February 11 in the Campus Center Ballroom. The BSA will be putting posters advertising the event in the TLC, campus center, library, Z-6, dorms and the University Center.
BSA is a smaller organization that is growing along with population of Black students on campus. The group's goal is to continue to spur unity and positivity among students while educating them on the importance of Black history and focusing on the significant contributions of African Americans to our nation's cultural heritage as a whole.

Merry CRISmas, everyone. The holidays are upon us and another year comes to an end, but as usual, there is one more UFC event to watch just before the new year rolls in. The main event is a featherweight title fight between champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino and former bantamweight champion Holly Holm. We're fairly certain some Holly will be decked, but you'll have to listen in to hear the particulars, as well as our breakdown of the also-very-exciting clash between lightweight elites Khabib Nurmagomedov and Edson Barboza, plus some other stuff, too.
I don't know, we're all still drunk.
UFC 218 delivered no shortage of magnificent, memorable, and very meaningful action. Max Holloway defeated featherweight GOAT Jose Aldo for the second time. Eddie Alvarez was the immovable object which finally brought Justin Gaethje's unstoppable force to a halt. Francis Ngannou pulled Alistair Overeem's soul out of his body and ate it on live TV.
But when it rains, it pours, and today's episode of Heavy Hands is packed with so much more. In addition to our detailed breakdown of the events of UFC 218, we look ahead to two fights set for UFC Fresno--the main event between Cub Swanson and Brian Ortega, and a battle of bantamweight contenders, Marlon Moraes and Aljamain Sterling, on the undercard. THEN, we move on to discuss the upcoming boxing match between Vasyl Lomachenko, who many regard to be the pound-for-pound best boxer in the world today, and Guillermo Rigondeaux, who is himself so skillful that it takes a fighter of Lomachenko's caliber to finally challenge him.


Sometimes, the path of least resistance is the best course. If you're driving to see family for the holidays, it probably makes more sense to take the highways rather than the "off road" path. Often however, the difficult path is exactly the one we need to be on, particularly when we're working toward a big goal. This is because resistance serves as a compass, pointing us straight towards our target. It makes intuitive sense; nobody expects to achieve anything great without encountering difficulty. So, if you've got a grand ambition that you've been putting off because you don't know where to start, first identify where the greatest resistance is and then, move toward it.
Resistance prevents action. It doesn't take place when we're simply contemplating an idea. It's the "doing" that is stifled. We come up with myriad excuses to justify not taking action. If your goal is to write a book, you'll find that there's a million excuses to put off writing. In other words, there is a force working to prevent you from writing. That force is resistance.
If you dream of starting your own business and have a vision, a plan and desire but you still haven't taken action, you've encountered resistance. Sometimes it's fear, sometimes it's uncertainty but it always exists within the confines of our minds. Though it's born and fed in our minds, its action that will ultimately defeat it. With that in mind, here are a few tips to help you overcome resistance and begin (or continue) your journey towards achieving your dreams.
Take small steps – Often, people fail to take action because the goal seems so big and insurmountable that any action we take won't make a dent in it. They justify the lack of action by telling themselves that they'll begin when they're in a position to make a bigger impact. They say things like, "I'll do it when________." There's always some future threshold that they say will trigger action toward the goal. The problem is, it always seems to be a moving target.
"I'll do it when I'm done with school." When school is done, other responsibilities take over and action gets punted further into the future.
The cure for this is to continually take small steps. Sure, writing 500 words today isn't enough to publish a book. But repeat the process over and over and you'll get there. Probably before you would have otherwise started.
Keep your vision in mind – When working toward a big goal where achievement is months or years into the future, it's crucial to have some way of motivating yourself. When resistance is staring you in the face, what inspires you to press on? What does the finished product look like? What does completing it mean for you and your family?
Forget about what other people think – Fear plays such a big role in preventing people from taking action. We fear embarrassing ourselves. We fear the judgments of others. It's always safer to keep your head low and not take any chances. Of course, playing it safe doesn't usually result in anything significant. Removing the fear of judgment is liberating. It opens up possibilities that didn't exist before and sets us up to learn from engaging in the process of creation. Remember the old adage, "It's none of your business what other people think of you" and dive in. Accept that fact that you'll make mistakes and resolve to learn from them. If you don't take the step, you'll never know what you can learn.
Resistance points the course. Determine what and where it is and move towards it. Take small steps, always keep your vision in mind and forget about what other people think. The naysayers have never achieved what you will achieve. You got this.
For more on the topic of Resistance, check out Steven Pressfield's book "Do the Work".

All This Could be Yours
by Jami Attenberg - Fiction, Jewish Interest, Judiasm
"If I know why he is the way he is then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am," says Alex Tuchman, strong-headed lawyer, loving mother, and daughter of Victor Tuchman --- a power-hungry real estate developer and, by all accounts, a bad man. Now that Victor is on his deathbed, Alex feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who he is and what he did over the course of his life and career. She travels to New Orleans to be with her family, but mostly to interrogate her tightlipped mother, Barbra.
by Jami Attenberg - Fiction
Who is Andrea Bern? When her dippy therapist asks the question, Andrea knows the right things to say: she's a designer, a friend, a daughter, a sister. But it's what she leaves unsaid --- she's alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her flesh --- that feels the most true. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult, though. But when Andrea's niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters. Will this drive them together or tear them apart?
Saint Mazie
by Jami Attenberg - Fiction, Historical Fiction
Mazie Phillips is the truth-telling proprietress of The Venice, the famed New York City movie theater. When the Great Depression hits, she opens the doors of The Venice to those in need, becoming the beating heart of the Lower East Side. More than 90 years after Mazie began her diary, it is discovered by a documentarian in search of a good story. Who was Mazie Phillips, really? A chorus of voices from the past and present fill in some of the mysterious blanks of her adventurous life.
The Middlesteins
For more than 30 years, Edie and Richard Middlestein shared a solid family life together in the suburbs of Chicago. But now things are splintering apart, seemingly for one reason: Edie's enormous girth. When Richard abandons her, it is up to the next generation of Middlesteins to take control. Do Edie's devastating choices rest on her shoulders alone, or are others at fault, too?

Q: Change delimiter in csv file - Python I have a csv file in google colab (python) called 'student-mat.csv'
when I print it, it looks like this:
  school;sex;age;address;famsize;Pstatus;Medu;Fedu;Mjob;Fjob;reason;guardian;traveltime;studytime;failures;schoolsup;famsup;paid;activities;nursery;higher;internet;romantic;famrel;freetime;goout;Dalc;Walc;health;absences;G1;G2;G3
The delimiter is wrong and I do not know how to change it, as instead of writing simple code like this:
df = pd.read_csv('student-mat.csv')

I have to write this:
df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(uploaded['student-mat.csv',delimiter=';'].decode('utf-8')))
print(df.head())

This is because I uploaded the file differently. And when I type that code it is incorrect because the delimiter is in the wrong spot. It gives a simple SyntaxError: invalid syntax

A: Why you complicated yourself your life? Simply use
df = pd.read_csv('student-mat.csv', sep=';', encoding='utf-8')

See pandas.read_csv.

A: The delimiter needs to be placed here:
df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(uploaded['student-mat.csv'].decode('utf-8')), delimiter=';')

print(df.head())

This then returns it in a pandas DataFrame.


On this trip we knew we would miss out on Permeate. Thus, I thought of an alternative way of joining Permeate by holding our own mini Permeate . At Denmark I was able to feel God's provisions through our mini Permeate.
"The date says Feb 20th. That is three days from now. Is there no earlier flight?" I asked with a shocked look in my eyes.
"What do you mean?" I responded, not sure why she found the bell sound so interesting.


Ana Luisa Matos' work focus on the concept of home and identity. Her most recent series, No Place To Lay My Head explores her relationship to her home country. Developed during a series of road trips, the work captures her reconnection to Portugal, after having spent time leaving abroad, and coming to terms with her own identity.
The photographer's relationship with her home country has always been bittersweet: it was a place of comfort, security and loving memories, however, there was always a feeling of emptiness present. The outside world seemed more attractive as if life was happening somewhere else. Her search for new ventures away from the familiar led her to South America, where she made her home for a year. Upon her return to Portugal and struggling once again to fit, the concept of home became more complex than ever. All of her former connections have been replaced with scattered impressions of a previous life and home was now nothing more than a coordinate on a map. As life reached an impasse, trying to decide on whether to stay or not, she turned her camera to the same things that made her leave.
Her travels in search of landscapes, dominated by solitude and silence, reflected her inner thoughts, and more than being a form of escapism, allowed her to convey this period of transition in life.
No Place To Lay My Head is a deeply personal journey of looking at one's identity and trying to find again a sense of place. Looking outward, in search for the mundane and the overlooked she wandered in vacant landscapes, capturing her experience with previously unseen places in her home country and yet the nostalgia of being back home still permeates.
Ana Luisa Matos is a documentary photographer based in New York. Born in Portugal, she studied graphic design and photography. Upon her graduation she was based in Argentina working as a photographer and photo editor. She is a graduate of the Visual Journalism and Documentary Practice program at the International Center of Photography.

El fals vampir americà (Vampyrum spectrum) és una espècie de ratpenat, l'única del gènere monotípic Vampyrum. Contràriament al que sovint es creu, no estan relacionats amb la família de ratpenats carnívors dels megadermàtids, que també són coneguts com a falsos vampirs..

Descripció
Aquesta espècie és la més gran entre els ratpenats natius del Nou món i la més gran de totes les espècies de ratpenat carnívor del món. L'envergadura de l'ala generalment fa entre 60 i 91,4 centímetres, podent arribar a 1 metre. La longitud del seu cos varia entre 12,5 i 13,5 centímetres i el seu pes entre 145 i 190 grams. El pelatge de la parts superiors (l'esquena) és generalment de color marró fosc, marró castany o d'òxid ataronjat i està format per pèls curts i fins. Les parts inferiors (el ventre) estan cobertes d'un pel més curt i de color més pàl·lid, generalment marró grisenc o marró groguenc. Les orelles són molts grans i arrodonides. No té una cua apreciable, encara que la membrana de la cua és gran i ample. Els seus peus grans són robustos i tenen urpes llargues i corbades. Les fosses nasals estan coronades per una protuberància de mida mitjana que fa uns 1,7 centímetres i té forma de fulla.

Distribució i hàbitat
Aquesta espècie està distribuïda per Centreamèrica, des del sud de Mèxic fins a Panamà, i per la meitat nord de Sud-amèrica, a Colòmbia, Veneçuela, Surinam, Guyana, l'Equador, el Perú, el Brasil i l'illa de Trinitat i Tobago. Generalment cerquen refugi a les branques dels arbres, encara que de vegades poden fer-ho a troncs buits o fins i tot a estructures fetes per l'home, a boscos neotropicals densos de les terres baixes, fins a alçades de 1.650 metres. Es troben en major nombre a les àrees riberenques. Mentre s'alimenten, visiten els hàbitats més diversos, podent ser trobats en boscos humits, jardins, boscos de creixement secundari, vores de boscos i zones pantanoses.

Dieta
El fals vampir americà és un caçador aeri nocturn formidable. Mentre que els autèntics vampirs s'alimenten parasitant la sang d'altres animals, sovint mentre aquests dormen i sense causar-los patiment, aquesta espècie caça activament i mata altres animals. Aquest gran depredador s'alimenta principalment de vertebrats relativament grans com petits ocells, petits mamífers (inclosos altres ratpenats) i ocasionalment d'amfibis i rèptils. Les preses són seleccionades entre les que viuen o reuneixen en grups, tenen una forta olor i viuen generalment als arbres en lloc de fer-lo en cavitats. El pes de les preses varia entre 20 i 150 grams, equivalent al seu propi pes. Al refugi d'un fals vampir americà es van descobrir les restes de 84 ocells pertanyents a 18 espècies diferents entre les quals hi havia motmots, colúmbids, trogoniformes, cucúlids, troglodítids i oriòlids. Els insectes també formen part de la seva dieta, especialment els gríl·lids i els cicàdids.

Quan caça, aquesta espècie és extremadament cautelosa volant lent i baix i pot semblar maldestre, però en realitat té molta maniobrabilitat en vol. Sovint observen la presa i després s'abalancen sobre ella des d'una branca més alta o, a l'estil d'una òliba, caçant mentre patrulla cap endavant i enrere al llarg de les vores del bosc i caient de sobte sobre una presa que estigui a terra. Al contrari de la majoria de ratpenats, no sembla que utilitzin la vista o l'ecolocalització per cercar aliment, sinó que sembla que cacen principalment per mitjà de l'olfacte. No obstant això, s'ha documentat que són atrets pels crits d'altres ratpenats més petits que estan caçant. L'estructura de la seva ala els permet enlairar-se en espais reduïts i carregar preses pesants. Es va creure que aquesta espècie complementava la seva dieta amb fruits, encara que una parella captiva va refusar menjar-ne durant més de 5 anys.

Comportament
El fals vampir americà sol niar en arbres buits amb la seva parella i les cries durant l'any. Encara que hi ha poques dades sobre els detalls de l'aparellament d'aquesta espècie, es creu que els naixements tenen lloc entre maig i juliol, l'inici de l'estació de les pluges. Tot i que s'han registrat fins a 3 cries per any, el més habitual sol ser una sola cria. Sovint el mascle dorm amb la femella i les seves cries, embolcallant-les completament entre les seves ales.

El fals vampir americà sol caçar diverses vegades durant la nit. Durant la temporada de cria, surt en solitari a caçar i torna al refugi portant aliment per la femella i les cries.

Depredadors
De vegades els joves ratpenats poden ser l'aliment de depredadors arboris com algunes serps, els coatís i els felins del gènere Leopardus. Els adults poden ser capturats en vol per les òlibes i les àguiles.

Estat de conservació
Està catalogada com a espècie gairebé amenaçada, ja que aparentment depèn dels boscos primaris, els quals estan ser molt devastats en algunes parts de l'àrea de distribució.

Cultura popular
A la novel·la Silverwing, Goth, el principal antagonista, i el seu company Throbb són falsos vampirs americans. Aquest fet es repeteix en aquesta i les successives novel·les de la sèrie, així com ho declara el seu autor Kenneth Oppel al lloc web de la novel·la.

Vampirinis


CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs took a long, hard look at themselves over the winter.
"When something's taken from you there — I think we deserved to keep going, we had a good year — that state of hungriness and that work ethic even lights up a bigger fire in the offseason," center fielder Albert Almora Jr. said. "So it's a good time, it's a good time to be us and we're excited to go."
"This is as hard as I've ever worked in an offseason," president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. "The results in terms of adding players aren't there, but we think we've done a lot of good behind the scenes to learn some lessons from last year and try to put our best foot forward."
The outfield is a mixed bag, and how it shakes out could have a huge impact on Chicago's season. Ian Happ hit just .233 with 167 strikeouts in 142 games last year, taking a step back after his promising rookie campaign. A lighter, more fit Kyle Schwarber was much improved defensively, and just OK at the plate. Albert Almora Jr. batted .227 with a .245 on-base percentage in his final 34 games last season. Jason Heyward also struggled down the stretch last year. The Cubs need a couple of their outfielders to find another level in 2019.

By far the largest number of motor vehicle crash deaths are occupants of passenger vehicles including cars, minivans, pickups, SUVs, and cargo/large passenger vans. The likelihood of crash death varies markedly among these vehicle types according to size. Small/light vehicles have less structure and size to absorb crash energy, so crash forces on occupants will be higher. People in lighter vehicles are at a disadvantage in collisions with heavier vehicles. Kahane, C.J. 2003. Vehicle weight, fatality risk and crash compatibility of model year 1991-99 passenger cars and light trucks. Report no. DOT HS-809-662. Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Pickups and SUVs are proportionally more likely than cars to be in fatal single-vehicle crashes, especially rollovers. However, pickups and SUVs generally are heavier than cars, so occupant deaths in SUVs and pickups are less likely to occur in multiple-vehicle crashes.
Note: Passenger versions of vans often referred to as minivans are classified as cars.
The following facts are based on analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and The Polk Company's National Vehicle Population Profile.
Passenger vehicle occupant deaths represented 68 percent of the 32,885 motor vehicle crash deaths in 2010.
A total of 22,263 passenger vehicle occupants died in 2010, 27 percent less than in 1975. However, as pickups and SUVs have become more popular, the distribution of vehicle types in fatal crashes has changed. Car occupant deaths have declined 48 percent since 1975, while pickup occupant deaths have risen 21 percent and SUV occupant deaths are 9 times as high.
A total of 15,982 passenger vehicle drivers died in 2010, 5 percent less than in 2009 and 17 percent less than in 1975. Fifty-nine percent of passenger vehicle driver deaths in 2010 were car drivers, 22 percent were pickup drivers, and 17 percent were SUV drivers.
Frontal impacts accounted for 45 percent of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2010. Side impacts accounted for another 24 percent of passenger vehicle occupant deaths.
Forty-five percent of car occupant deaths in 2010 occurred in single-vehicle crashes and 55 percent occurred in multiple-vehicle crashes. In contrast, single-vehicle crashes accounted for 63 percent of SUV occupant deaths and 63 percent of pickup occupant deaths.
Twenty-eight percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2010 were younger than 25.
Seventy-two percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2010 were drivers; 69 percent of these drivers were males.
Nine percent of passenger vehicle occupant deaths were in the second or third row; 26 percent of these were younger than 13.
Computing driver death rates per million registered passenger vehicles allows for comparisons of fatal crash risk across vehicle groups. The computed rates reflect the influence of vehicle designs plus their patterns of use and the demographics of their drivers. Driver death rates are based on 1-3-year-old vehicles only so as to minimize the effects of vehicle aging. Rates based on fewer than 120,000 vehicle registrations are considered unreliable and are not included.
Since 1978, the overall rates of driver and occupant deaths per million registered vehicles have declined across all passenger vehicle types. Declines in death rates have been largest for SUV occupants.
Historically, the rates of driver deaths per million registered vehicles have been higher for the smaller and lighter vehicles. This was true again in 2010, but the differences were less extreme than they used to be.
Overall, driver deaths per million registered passenger vehicles in 2010 were about the same for single and multiple vehicle crashes, but this pattern varied by vehicle type. Pickups had the highest number of deaths per registered vehicle both in single-vehicle crashes (44 per million) and in multiple-vehicle crashes (28 per million). SUVs had the lowest number of deaths per registered vehicle both in single-vehicle crashes (9 per million) and in multiple-vehicle crashes (13 per million).
Frontal impacts accounted for 13 driver deaths per million registered passenger vehicles in multiple-vehicle crashes in 2010 compared with 6 deaths per million in side impacts and 1 death per million in rear impacts.
Frontal impacts accounted for 10 driver deaths per million registered passenger vehicles in single-vehicle crashes in 2010 compared with 3 deaths per million in side impacts and fewer than 1 death per million in rear impacts.
A vehicle is classified as rolling over if it tips onto its side or roof at any time during the crash. The rollover may occur subsequent to a frontal or side impact with another vehicle or a fixed object. Many rollovers occur after a vehicle leaves the roadway and may lead to occupants being ejected from the vehicle, increasing the likelihood of a fatality.
A total of 7,688 passenger vehicle occupants died in rollover crashes in 2010. Twenty-three percent of these did not involve any other impact.
Crashes in which a vehicle rolled over accounted for 35 percent of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2010 (55 percent of single-vehicle occupant crash deaths and 13 percent of multiple-vehicle occupant crash deaths).
Since 1978 pickups and SUVs have a consistently higher percentage of rollover deaths than cars.
More than three-fourths of fatal rollovers are single-vehicle crashes. Deutermann, W. 2002. Characteristics of fatal rollover crashes. Report no. DOT HS-809-438. Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The remaining facts will concentrate on single-vehicle rollovers.
A total of 6,343 passenger vehicle occupants died in single-vehicle rollover crashes in 2010, 8 percent less than in 2009 and 19 percent less than in 1978.
Single-vehicle rollover crashes accounted for 45 percent of occupant deaths in SUVs in 2010, compared with 39 percent of occupant deaths in pickups and 20 percent in cars.
Since 1978, driver death rates for single-vehicle rollover crashes have declined across all passenger vehicle types, particularly for SUVs. Single-vehicle crashes involving rollover accounted for 11 driver deaths per million registered passenger vehicles in 2010.

There are only a few Dutch racers who can challenge the world's best GT drivers. One of them is Patrick Huisman. The tall driver once was the man to beat in the Porsche Supercup, but is nowadays active in the VLN championship at the Nürburgring. In this exclusive interview Huisman tells the story of his German adventure.
Some years ago, after 18 seasons of success in the Porsche Supercup, Patrick Huisman made the decision to leave the international championship and move to the VLN, the endurance championship that races exclusively at the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife. This shift of focus was based on his desire for fair competition.
It was via his brother, the former Nürburgring 24 Hours champion Duncan Huisman, that the four times Supercup champion met the Frikadelli Racing team in 2011, and the idea was born to combine forces in 2012. Since then the privateers team of owner-driver Klaus Abbelen has become one of the powerhouses in VLN – not in the last place because of Huisman.
"The past few years it was very difficult for privateers teams to score because of the success of Porsche's factory team: Manthey Racing. We received a big aerodynamic upgrade from Porsche and factory tires from Michelin in 2013. This resulted in a competitive package and together with the growth of the team this resulted in the first victory of Frikadelli. We went on to win the Speed Trophäe for best and fastest team, which we also won in 2014.
When the Porsche equipe at the end of the 2013 season celebrated their first win, Sabine Schmitz – together with Patrick Huisman and Klaus Abbelen the team's regular driver in the Porsche 911 GT3 R – was absent. Porsche works driver Patrick Pilet substituted for her, while also being part of the four drivers' team that took Frikadelli's second win, in April of last year. It wasn't until August when the Barweiler squad took their first victory with the 'classic' line-up of Schmitz, Abbelen and Huisman.
In spite of all the success, there were some disappointments. Like during the Opel 6h ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennen, which was ran under changing weather conditions.
2014 saw many VLN races tainted with heavy crashes. In response, the German Motor Sports Federation (DMSB) recently introduced a special Nordschleife license, the goal of which is to keep inexperienced drivers from participating in the highly competitive VLN series.
When Huisman, who was the victim of a heavy crash himself as well, is asked about this new regulation, he is clear: "The number of accidents was ridiculously high," the 48-year-old says. "I experienced it myself during the heaviest crash of the season, during VLN9. The way I see it, the problem is there are too many cars with similar lap times such as the Opel Astra Cup, BMW 235i Cup, Toyota GT86 Cup and the V6 class. They all do lap times of 9 to 9:30 minutes, but all together they must be about one hundred cars. That creates a lot of traffic.
"In addition to that, there's the problem of inexperience of a pretty big group of drivers, from the slowest to the fastest classes. My crash, in which I was hit from behind at Flugplatz, was a clear case of inexperience by a good driver [Andy Meyrick] in the works Bentley.
"Finally, the Code 60 [speed limit of 60 kph in yellow flag zones] is a very good rule for the Nordschleife. However, not all marshal posts handle them as good, and that can surprise you at fast and blind corners as you run into a Code 60.
