was knit by the wife of his brother.
and wind in soft cables.
and she holds him in ivory light.
with him in the West.
as if secretly yours and if not already, soon.
I write as I remember.
and steadily unconnected with beauty.
Forget my hurting heart. I have.
because a greater star shone.
and I love again and again.
leaving white rooms to amaze.
tides never forgetting their moon.
I am a charm hung on life's bracelet.
tarnished with rime, hoarfrost, frowns.
to spin like vaudeville plates on sticks.
veined wings, dead things, debris.
stone. John Denver and Placido D.
through all the diamonds of being.
the filled bucket, perfect words and filled bellies.
licking the run of success from our palms.
I scrape with a finger to taste each day's batter.
laces gone, sole still attached.
A shirt off the rack was too short.
where shell fragments skated his skin.
across my bare back, tricks me from sleep.
the shirt's not materially here.
understand, not all holes heal.
Sometimes I can hear Oklahoma in the marine layer.
Wrapped in a drift of horizon too thick to approach.
brown eggs in old straw and slanted blue cellar doors.
in the fleece of asphalt ocean, white-capped fields.
calling chickens, clapclapclap. Handfuls of calling.
An old woman's aproned dreams. Sometimes.

Some Biochemical Parameters and Hematological Picture in Cases of Smooth Inactive Ovaries in Buffalo-Cows
Emad Mahmoud Abd El Razek, Tamer Salah Allam.
This study was carried out to determine the difference in biochemical parameters and hematological picture between smooth inactive ovaries (SIO) and normal cyclic buffalo-cows. The study was carried out on forty adult Buffalo-cows with ages ranging from 4-7 years in different cities of Menofiya Governorate during the period from September 2014 till September 2015. Animals were classified into cyclic or non-cyclic based on gynecological examination by rectal palpation and trans-rectal ultrasonography. The first group was consisted of thirty female buffaloes affected with smooth inactive ovaries (SIO) and the second group was consisted of ten normal cyclic Buffalo-cows (C). Blood samples were collected for biochemical and hematological studies of both groups. The biochemical parameters revealed that, there was a significant decrease in RBCs (7.44±0.21 and 5.19±0.27), Hb (14.37±0.31 and 11.17±0.27) and PCV (43.11±0.78 and 31.33±2.52), while there was a significant increase in TLC (6.46±0.56 and 10.34±0.87), neutrophil (3.49±0.42 and 5.42±1.25), eosinophil (0.18±0.14 and 0.61±0.08) and lymphocyte (2.41±0.35 and 3.85±0.89) in normal cyclic and SIO groups respectively. While the hematological picture revealed that, there was a significant decrease in total protein (7.33±0.64 and 5.28 ± 0.20), albumin (4.42±0.37 and 3.20±0.24), globulin (2.88±0.28 and 2.08±0.34), glucose (102.42±7.45 and 53.03±8.47), creatinine (1.67±0.14 and 1.24±0.06), calcium (11.27±1.04 and 6.54±0.63) and inorganic phosphorous (4.77±0.45 and 2.76±0.20) in normal cyclic and SIO groups respectively. Also, the hormonal assay revealed that, there was a significant decrease in FSH (4.32±0.21 and 1.85 ± 0.02) and progesterone (2.54±0.88 and 1.72±0.34) in normal cyclic and SIO groups respectively. So that the cases of smooth inactive ovaries in buffalo-cows were characterized by an increase in TLC, neutrophil, eosinophil and lymphocyte and a decrease in RBCs, Hb, PCV, total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, creatinine, calcium, inorganic phosphorous, FSH and progesterone.

1 Million Shiba Inu Coin Holders: What's Next for The Meme Coin?
Shiba Inu is becoming increasingly popular on the cryptocurrency market after surpassing 1 million holders. At one point, the coin challenged Dogecoin to the title of Meme coin leadership. At just over a year old, Shiba Inu has performed admirably well. Meanwhile, its price trajectory for 2022 and beyond is still a mystery. While some predict its price to keep its rally over the long term, others are pessimistic.
Why Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu started a major price rally at the beginning of October 2021. Its rally was largely driven by Elon Musk's tweet about the meme coin. Subsequently, it went as far as gaining an 800% appreciation in price. It even surpassed Dogecoin at a point. However, its price later came down. Meanwhile, this major spike had made Shiba Inu gather a large community of loyal investors. This later led to it clocking a whopping 1 million holders on November 25, 2021.
Shiba Inu's Way to The Top
An unknown founder named Ryoshi created Shiba Inu in October 2020. Then, DogeCoin had started gaining traction among investors. It is an Ethereum hosted Blockchain network whose native token is SHIB. Upon its creation, Shiba Inu had a total amount of 1 quadrillion in circulation. Ryoshi locked about half of the SHIB token in the Uniswap exchange, he sent the other half to the Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin. On receiving the token, Vitalik Buterin burnt a significant amount of SHIB and shared the remaining with charity organizations. Shiba Inu started 2021 modestly; it has since appreciated by over 12,000,000%. Even Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin never saw such a spike in price. Instead of years of gradual appreciation, Shiba Inu spiked in months.
What Are the Key Price Drivers Of Shiba Inu?
Elon Musk: When Shiba Inu was created in 2020, Elon Musk posted a picture of his Shiba Inu dog on his Twitter account. As Shiba Inu is represented with a dog, its price started soaring. SHIB coin burning: Vitalik Buterin burnt around 41% of the SHIB token after it was sent to him by Ryoshi. This reduced its supply greatly, making its price surge. Petition for its inclusion in Robinhood: Over 300000 loyalists signed a petition for Robinhood to include Shiba Inu in its portfolio. This led to Shiba Inu being traded on the exchange. Many other crypto exchanges followed suit. Fear of Missing Out: As the new meme coin gained popularity in the crypto market, many feared Shiba Inu could be a high return, long-term investment. Leading to it gaining more and more holders by the day. AMC Twitter Poll: In October, the CEO of AMC Entertainment, Adam Aron conducted a poll on Twitter asking people whether they should start accepting Shiba Inu as a form of payment or not. 87% of respondents voted in favour of the idea. As AMC Entertainment is a leader in the USA theatre industry, Shiba Inu popularity would only increase from that news. On November 25, 2021, while replying to ShitoshoKusama and RyoshiResearch, Shibalution tweeted about how SHIB is entering the Metaverse world. https://mobile.twitter.com/shibalution1/status/1463881300775895043 This milestone will only fasten Shiba Inu's growth over the near future.
The November 25, 2021 Milestone Of Over 1 Million Holders
Despite its price decreasing for more than one month now, Shiba Inu surpassed the 1 million holders mark on November 25, 2021. Its community reached a milestone in expansion. This is because major Shiba Inu whales started buying SHIB tokens during its price dip.
What Does It Mean for Shiba Inu in 2022 and Beyond?
Many analysts, forecasters and experts believe that Shiba Inu doesn't guarantee a price rally in 2022. Even though its predictions are very optimistic, there are still analysts who are sceptical about whether it will live up to those predictions, not to talk of surpassing them. This is because Shiba Inu's major influence came from crypto whales, Elon Musk and Mark Cuban. It has a big nature of being influenced by them and this could spell its doom over the long term. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu's price stands at $0.00003040 after falling by 2.25% in the last 24 hours. It currently has a market cap of $16.7B and is ranked as the 10th cryptocurrency according to Coinbase. It has a total supply of over 549T SHIB in circulation. Coinarbitragebot predicts Shiba Inu's price to reach US$0.000042 by 2022 ending and $0.000268 in 2024. Walletinvestor forecasts Shiba Inu's price to close the year at $0.000048, $0.000088 in November 2022, and $0.000226 by December 2025 end. Meanwhile, Digitalcoinprice forecasts Shiba Inu's price to close 2021 at $0.0000569859 and reach $0.0000712618 in November 2022. Its prediction also sees Shiba Inu price at $0.0001061594 in November 2025 and $0.0001426004 in November 2026 Gov. capital price prediction sees Shiba Inu's price at $0.000128 in November 2022, moving to $0.000247 exactly a year after. It would continue to soar, reaching $0.000418 in November 2024, and $0.000643 in November 2025 It is worth noting that these predictions are created from algorithms and they should not be taken as accurate for trading. They can go any way, right or wrong. Unforeseen circumstances can easily affect Shiba Inu's price in the future. If you plan on investing in Shiba Inu, do thorough research. Also, be sure that the meme coin fits perfectly with your trading style, risk tolerance level, and specifications.

I have experienced the awesomeness of Quikr first hand. My new phone is testimony to that but when I heard of Quikr NXT which is the next step to buying and selling from Quikr, I was ecstatic. With the new chat feature introduced in Quikr NXT, shopping on Quikr will become more convenient, easy and safe.
While Quikr was already a great platform for buying and selling stuff, I am happy that they have introduced the chat feature. With this messenger service, now all the fake calls will end. It will also act as a business booster because now we don't have to think about calling some stranger and of feeling awkward while doing so. I don't have to deliberate if it is the right time to call the buyer or seller and no longer do I have to keep track of what I said and what was promised. I also have the option of deciding the time to talk to the buyer or seller. We can chat anytime and can respond whenever we are free without having the tension of replying to him right at the time of the call.
1) My mobile number is protected.
With the chat feature, now I can protect my number from going into the wrong hands. I can chat with the buyer or seller without having to share my contact number with them. With the ease of the messenger which is available for mobile as well as desktop, I can safely bid adieu to the fake calls and also check the validity of the seller without having to share any crucial contact information with him.
I can check, send and share the pictures of the product and chat with the seller. All this is possible absolutely free with the chat feature and I don't have to shell out money to call the seller again and again.
Also I have a chat history with all the conversation recorded and so I don't have to stress myself to remember what I had said and what was promised. I have the proof right here in the form of the chat history which has all our conversations recorded!
Often times we are not free to respond to the phone calls of the buyer or the seller but with the chat option, now I can respond at my convenience without having to take tension if it is the right time to call!
3) Chat and chat till I am satisfied.
With phone calls, we are often thinking if we should call again and whether it would be right to disturb the other person again. We often hang back from calling and so are often dissatisfied with the real product when we see it but with chat, I can chat and chat until I am satisfied. We can share real time pictures of the product and clarify all my doubts without thinking that I am imposing on the seller!
Quikr NXT gets two thumps up from me and I am so happy that Quikr came up with this feature. I am sure it is going to take this platform to new heights.
Now "No fikar, chat Quikr!" with Quikr NXT and enjoy shopping!

The Yarmouk tributary of the Jordan River remains the source of life for tens of thousands in both Syria and Jordan. In what appears to be a 'race to the bottom', however, water is being pumped out at unsustainable rates, and cooperation has broken down. A team of seasoned researchers led by Prof Mark Zeitoun at the UEA Water Security Research Centre has begun exploring how water use and availability is influenced by regional political and climatic dynamics. The goal of the study is to provide rigorous hydrological and political analysis that will serve as a baseline for effective transboundary water resources management and hydro-diplomacy programming. Updates on progress forthcoming.
UEA (2018). Hydro-political Baseline of the Yarmouk Tributary of the Jordan River. Norwich, Water Security Research Centre of the University of East Anglia. (confidential).
For further information, contact Professor Mark Zeitoun at at M.Zeitoun@uea.ac.uk or Tel: +44 (0)1603 593232.
This DFID-funded research project aims to test the hypothesis that increased access to an at-house water supply will deliver significantly greater health, social and economic benefits than those derived from a shared public water supply. Barbara Evans (Leeds University), Professor Paul Hunter (UEA), Professor Jamie Bartram (University of North Carolina) are leading the investigation of the physical health impact of accessing drinking water from publically shared taps outside of the home, in comparison to at-house water supply.
The research is led by Michael Mason of LSE, and is advised by Mark Zeitoun. It addresses climate vulnerable rural communities within the national territories of the watershed of the Jordan River (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory). A critical human security approach is used to investigate the attributes in one of the worlds' most physically and politically stressed rivers.
This project, led by Marisa Goulden and Declan Conway, looked at adaptation to climate variability and climate change in internationally shared river basins in Africa. Case study research was conducted in the River Nile Basin in 2007 and 2008. Funding: Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, September 2006 to March 2009.
This four-year research programme, funded by the Tyndall Centre and led by Declan Conway and Marisa Goulden, examines the role of conflict and cooperation between the ten countries that share the River Nile Basin in adapting to the impacts of climate extremes including floods and droughts and the possible impacts of future climate change. The latest research on this project examines perceptions of experts in three of the Nile Basin countries (Egypt, Ethiopia and Uganda) of the potential impacts of climate change and changing water sharing and water use patterns in the basin on water security, human well-being and adaptation needs.
Legal Analysis of the Upper Jordan River Basin.
The research, led by Mark Zeitoun, investigates the merits and limits of the application of customary international law to water use in the Upper Jordan River basin. The project will audit the availability, use and distribution of water resources, and check compatibility of different legal instruments – notably the UN Watercourses Convention, the Draft Aquifer Articles, the UNECE Water Convention, and the draft Arab Water Convention.
This collaborative project, funded under the EU Framework 7 Program, explores the ways in which different hydro-climatic (water related) hazards, and the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of societies interact to produce conflict and/or cooperation and human insecurity. The three year project commenced in January 2010 and involves 14 research teams from Europe, North Africa, the Sahel and the Middle East. The UEA team comprised Anita Milman, Declan Conway, Marisa Goulden and Neil Adger.
This project investigated how the scientific and social accomplishments of innovative catchment management programmes in the USA, Australia and other European countries can be extended to the UK. A catchment management 'template' was derived which compiles and assimilates scientific understanding and governance procedures as tested in actual decision making and management practice in case study catchments. Research is being undertaken by Kevin Hiscock and Tobias Kruger, with partners in London (SOAS), USA, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, funded by the Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU).
The Phongola River ESPA project, managed by Bruce Lankford, Vasudha Chhotray and Marisa Goulden (DEV, UEA), and Chris Dickens and Kate Pringle (INR, South Africa), was one of 12 projects funded by NERC examining the linkages between eco-system services and poverty alleviation (ESPA). Research centred on the Phongola/Jozini water system in northern Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, running from January 2009 to January 2010.
This five year project (2001 - 2006) examined the idea that irrigation efficiency could be raised to release water downstream. It was a DFID-funded research project implemented by the Soil-Water Management Research Group (SWMRG), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Tanzania; School of International Development, University of East Anglia (UEA); and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) through its Africa Regional Office, South Africa.
A full Systematic Review is being undertaken to address the question: "What factors determine the performance of institutional mechanisms for water resources management in developing countries in terms of delivering pro-poor outcomes, and supporting sustainable economic growth?" Led by Nick Hepworth, Virginia Hooper, Dennis Hellebrandt, Sarah Lubbe and Mark Zeitoun work with the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence on the behalf of DFID and is expected to end mid-2012.

Le svastika

C'est un des symboles les plus importants dans le jaïnisme. On le retrouve partout. Il symbolise la connaissance du transcendantal: ces branches se perdent dans l'infini.

De plus, toujours placé avec la branche gauche dirigée vers le haut, il symbolise les quatre mondes. Le vide qu'il y a dans la partie supérieure gauche du svastika représente le monde des hommes : il peut se libérer car cette partie du svastika est « tournée » vers le haut. Par contre, la partie supérieure droite du « svastika » représente le monde des êtres célestes, la partie inférieure gauche, le monde des animaux et des plantes, et la partie inférieure droite symbolise le monde des démons: Dans ces trois mondes, on ne peut atteindre la libération - car les parties évidées du  svastika ne sont pas tournées vers le haut, mais sur les côtés gauche, droit et vers le bas. Il faut donc se réincarner en homme pour pouvoir atteindre le nirvâna.

Le chandra-bindu

Il est composé d'un croissant de lune (candra) qui symbolise l'élément féminin, solide, et d'un point, une perle (bindu) qui symbolise l'élément masculin, l'éther, le fluide: L'union des deux signifie l'harmonie des contraires et leur interdépendance - un peu comme le yin et le yang ou l'étoile de David. Il représente aussi l'âme libérée (bindu) dans le royaume des « Siddha » (chandra), au sommet de l'univers. Il se retrouve aussi dans l'écriture devanagari - utilisée en hindi - pour signaler la nasalisation d'un son. On le retrouve aussi sur le son « Om ».

Le son OM

Commun avec l'hindouisme et le bouddhisme, sa signification mystique est très importante dans le jaïnisme: les cinq lettres (« a », « a », « â », « u », et « m ») qui le composent sont un résumé du « grand mantra » jaïna, le Namokar Mantra: « A » pour les Arhat (les Jina, les vainqueurs spirituels), « A » pour les Asharîrî (les Siddha, les âmes libérées), « Â » pour les Âchârya (les chefs de communautés, les maîtres), « U » pour les Upâdhyâya (les précepteurs) et « aM» pour les Muni (les Sâdhu et Sâdhvî, les moines et nonnes).

Le Om kara

Dérivé du précédent, il symbolise la spiritualité suprême.

Le drapeau

Validé par toutes les sections jaïna, il peut se retrouver sur tous les temples jaïna. Ce drapeau symbolise le Namokar Mantra. Cinq bandes horizontales le traversent, dont la plus importante est celle du milieu, en blanc, qui compte pour deux bandes des autres couleurs réunies. De haut en bas, on peut voir: la couleur rouge, celle des Siddha, la couleur jaune ou safran, celle des Âchârya, la couleur blanche, celle des Arhat, la couleur verte, celle des Upâdhyâya, et la couleur bleue, celle des Sâdhu. En son centre, on trouve le svastika, le tri-ratna (trois points qui symbolisent les « Trois Joyaux » du jaïnisme) et le chandra-bindu,  superposés l'un au-dessous de l'autre, généralement de couleur safran.

La main de la non-violence

C'est l'emblème officiel du jaïnisme. La main signifie réconfort moral et compassion: elle nous fait comprendre conscience de nos actes. La roue inscrite dans la paume représente le cycle des réincarnations, et le mot Ahimsâ (non-violence) en son centre, désigne le moyen d'y échapper. Souvent, sous cette main, on peut lire, en sanscrit, la phrase: « Parasparopagraho jīvānām » qui veut dire: « Toutes les vies sont interdépendantes et donc se doivent un mutuel respect, une mutuelle assistance ».

La représentation de l'univers

Un symbole important du jaïnisme adopté en 1899, lors du 2500 anniversaire de Mahâvîra. Il réutilise tous les symboles précédemment vus. Sur l'image du site proposé (version française),, on remarquera que le svastika a été remplacée par le Om kara(version anglaise:)

If summer were a meal, I ate the whole thing and feel satisfied.
I wrote the above sentence last September and then said how crazy I felt anyway. I've had the phrase I ate the whole thing stuck in my head again lately. I've also felt the angst that comes with putting too much on my plate: the guilt and greed of wanting it all, the doubt that I'm worthy of any of it, and the disappointing reality that summertime isn't one big lemonade commercial. Although yeah, it kind of is.
I took an unplanned break from reading and writing blog posts and the act felt like drifting along a lazy river all day wearing only SPF 4. It felt easy and indulgent and reckless all at once. I didn't drink or change my mind about drinking. Every purple-orange-pink sunset confirmed that life has richer hues without drinking, that none of this would even be possible if I were still stuck in that hell rut.
We just got back from a final trip to the beach. I felt off my game in packing for it and forgot all sorts of things…phone charger, medicine, nectarines rotting sweetly in a basket at home. Most schools started back already, and any remaining tanned beachgoers had a dazed, tired look, like they missed the last ferry home and were sorting out what to do about it in no particular hurry.
A couple of mornings later, I went for a much anticipated run 4 miles up the coastal highway to check out one of the old submarine watch towers that pepper the Delaware coast, relics leftover from WWII if you can even imagine.
I've been riding past these towers for, oh, roughly the last 40 summers and never stopped to get a closer look. This year inspiration came and rewarded.
I ran 6.2 miles to mentally prepare for a 10K I signed up for this fall and walked the remaining distance along the shore with an endorphin high and jelly legs and true appreciation for those who run half marathons and longer. The wind whipped the ocean and sand around and ruled out any kind of beach day. The truth is I never got in the ocean at all this season to swim. I drove home yesterday feeling bent out of shape about it and not sure why it bothered me so much.
I think I decided that not swimming this year made me feel suddenly old, like my best days are behind me. I wallowed in that feeling on the drive home and it receded some, so I think that was it.
Maybe it was a break, nothing more or less. Breaks can be good.


Located in one of the residential areas closest to the beach, Artia Sky Jungle – Tulum is just minutes away from the incomparable Mexican Caribbean and with easy access to downtown and Tulum's archaeological area.
Located inside Lúum Zamá which is an exclusive gated community that offers a distinctive eco-chic lifestyle with tree lined streets and beautiful green areas that create privacy and a unique jungle environment.
Super exclusive and private apartment, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the ground floor, fully furnished. It has a pool and private garden where you can enjoy the tranquility and harmony of nature in the comfort of your own home.

Q: How to show/hide xml attributes using java DOM? Well, going straight to the point. i'm using java DOM to merge two xml documents in one. To do this i first created a new node to put both documents inside, making the docs, child of the created node. The father has two attributes and one of them is the same as one of my xml document.
The attribute is xmlns="http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe".
I don't know if there is some xml rule but the child attribute got hide and just the father show the attribute "xmlns".
Here is a stretch of the code i got:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<nfeProc versao="3.10" xmlns="http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe">
   -<NFe>

Here is what i want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<nfeProc xmlns="http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe" versao="3.10">
   -<NFe xmlns="http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe">

And here is my code:
public void juntarXML () {
    File nota = new File("C:\\NotaFiscalEletronica.xml");
    File protocolo = new File("C:\\Protocolo.xml");
    //File xml = new File("C:\\xml.xml");

    DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = null;
    Document docNota = null;
    Document docProtocolo = null;
    Document docXML = null;

    try {
        docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

        docNota = docBuilder.parse(nota);
        docProtocolo = docBuilder.parse(protocolo);
        docXML = docBuilder.newDocument();

        docXML.setXmlVersion("1.0");
        // Criando nó pai que conterá os dois documentos
        Element nfeProc = docXML.createElement("nfeProc");
        nfeProc.setAttribute("xmlns", "http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe");
        nfeProc.setAttribute("versao", "3.10");
        docXML.appendChild(nfeProc);

        // Buscando e importando os nós dos documentos xml
        NodeList list = docXML.getElementsByTagName("nfeProc");
        Element listNode = (Element)list.item(0);
        String chave = "chave";
        for (int i=0; i<2; i++) {
            NodeList list2;
            Element list2Node;
            if (i==0) {
                list2 = docNota.getElementsByTagName("NFe"); // Nota Fiscal
                list2Node = (Element)list2.item(0);
            }else {
                list2 = docProtocolo.getElementsByTagName("protNFe"); // Protocolo
                list2Node = (Element)list2.item(0);
                chave = list2Node.getChildNodes().item(0).getChildNodes().item(2).getTextContent(); // Recuperando a chave
            }

            Node importedNode = docXML.importNode(list2Node, true);
            listNode.appendChild(importedNode);
        }

        TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer trans = transFactory.newTransformer();
        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

        DOMSource source = new DOMSource(docXML);
        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
        trans.transform(source, result);

        Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:\\" + chave + ".xml"));
        String xmlOutput = result.getWriter().toString();
        //System.out.println(xmlOutput);
        output.write(xmlOutput);
        output.close();

    }catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SAXException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (TransformerException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

I had try to re-create the attribute of the node "NFe" and there is no results.
I already checked if the attribute is still there and it is. It just disappear when i put it into a xml document.
So, there is a way to show it??
Taking the opportunity, in the case of "nfeProc", can i set something to not order the attributes alphabetically, to stay the order i add them??
Since now i thank you for the attention.

A: The two XMLs are the same for a DOM. Descendants inherit the namespace definitions until they are redefined.
So the XML serializer should optimize the the XML and keep only the needed namespace definitions. That means ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<nfeProc versao="3.10" xmlns="http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe">
  <NFe>
  ...

... is the expected XML document. Here is no reason to have an identical namespace definition on a child element.
Additionally, use createElementNS() - the namespace aware variant of createElement(). This should add the xmlns-attributes automatically as needed.

Free space settlements are man-made, hollow planetoids in orbit. The colonists live permanently on the interior.
Kalpana One is intended to improve on the free space settlement designs of the mid-1970s: the Bernal Sphere, Stanford Torus, and O'Neill cylinders, as well as on Lewis One, designed at NASA Ames Research Center in the early 1990s. These systems are intended to provide permanent homes for communities of thousands of people. The Kalpana One structure is a cylinder with a radius of 250m and a length of 325m. The population target is 3,000 residents.
The Kalpana One design is named after NASA astronaut Kalpana Chawla. Born in India, she was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The name "Kalpana-1" was first coined by an entry to the NASA Ames Student Space Settlement Design Contest in 2005 by a team from New Delhi, India.

Every year more than 3 million bicycles are stolen in Europe and bicycle theft is a critical issue worldwide. This is particularly true in a world that is shifting towards a new concept of smart mobility, especially in urban areas. At the moment, cyclists rely just on chains and locks to secure their bikes and in case of theft they have no practical methods for recovering them.
Sherlock is a GPS-based antitheft device connected to a smartphone app that allows cyclists to precisely locate their bicycles and retrieve them in case of theft. Sherlock is embedded into the structure of the bicycle and is characterised by an unobtrusive design and provides a flawless user experience.
Behind Sherlock there is a passionate team with a strong background in engineering, international management and user experience design. Among the six members of the team, there are two PhD fellows of Politecnico di Torino with previous experience in start-up businesses, a key-account manager and a customer care specialist in an international manufacturing company, an intern at Intel and a project manager in a start-up company.
The idea for Sherlock was born in February 2014, after the team attended the Fondazione CRT "Talenti per l'Impresa" Programme, with the project gaining momentum in June 2014. The team are now finalising the prototyping phase.
They also attended the SETsquared Entrepreneurship Programme in September 2014, giving the opportunity to turn their business idea into an investor proposition, improving the vision and strategy. At the end of the week they were awarded with the first prize in the final competition.
The Sherlock project was selected for funding from frontierCities, an EU-funded project that supports the development and deployment of smart mobility solutions in European cities, it was one of the 27 projects selected among about 600 international candidates. The goal of frontierCities is to bring the benefits of smart mobility solutions to citizens, enhancing the urban mobility and the quality of life. This programme directly funds SMEs and Start-Ups to develop and deliver innovative solutions whose ultimate beneficiaries are European citizen and cities.


Here at Leesville Animal Hospital, we proudly support local rescue organizations including the Raleigh Doberman rescue. Why? Well, there are a million and one reasons why, but the biggest reason is the Triangle homeless pet population!
If you read our post last week about being a community animal hospital, you will know that giving back to the community is important to us. Giving back to rescue organizations like the Raleigh Doberman Rescue isn't just about giving back to those who run the rescue, though. While we love helping our neighbors, we also love to know that we are helping the Triangle homeless pet population.
Here in Raleigh, we are no exception when it comes to having a large homeless pet population. Sadly, our shelters and rescue organizations are regularly packed full and in dire need of help. Without the help of donations and support from the local community, these organizations have a much smaller impact than they otherwise could. You see, their funds are limited and their staff only have so many hours in a day. This means that not every dog can be saved from euthanasia and not every cat can be given a home.
As true animal lovers, we hate to know that animals are suffering as a result of human neglect and we also hate knowing that so many of us have the opportunity to help, but don't. That's why we dedicate ourselves to raising funds for local homeless animal organizations and rescues like the Raleigh Doberman Rescue. We may only be one family-owned business, but every helping hand makes a difference!
If you'd like to help us in our efforts to support local animal charities and rescues, keep an eye out for our fundraising events throughout the year. If you want to start helping right away, check out this list of Raleigh animal charities who could really use your help!

The normal procedure for submitting a complaint to the government is to write a letter, send an email, or make a long drawn-out phone call. In Seoul, South Korea, there's an alternative – yelling into a giant sculpture shaped like an ear.
Designed by artist Yang Soo-in, and backed by the organization, Lifethings, the sculpture sits outside City Hall in Seoul. It symbolizes the fact that Mayor Park Won-soon and his administration are willing to listen to the people.Since it's installation, Koreans have lined up to speak their woes or ideas for civic improvement into the impressively sized artificial ear.

Federal officer abducted, sexually assaulted teen in southern Arizona: police
FOX 10 Phoenix
Arizona customs officer abducted, sexually assaulted 15-year-old girl, police say
DOUGLAS, Ariz. - An Arizona customs officer is accused of impersonating a police officer and abducting and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Sierra Vista.
Investigators say Aaron Mitchell drove up to the teen as she walked to school in Douglas on Monday.
The 27-year-old reportedly wore a tactical vest with the word "POLICE" on it and asked the girl for documentation.
After she complied, Mitchell told her he was taking her to the police station. Officials say he restrained her, put her in the car, and sexually assaulted her at an apartment complex in Sierra Vista before driving her back to Douglas that afternoon.
The alleged attacker was an officer with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to Douglas Police.
Mitchell was booked into Cochise County Jail and faces several counts of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Front Signs is not only a sign making company but a full-service company offering installation and replacement services alongside many others.
After ordering your signs you do not have to seek for other companies to install your sign, our team of professional craftsmen will do the installation for you.
Besides providing our customers with high-quality signs, we make sure that the signs have a smooth and safe installation. It is important to get help from professionals, as they know all the techniques and specifications of the products which helps them install each sign without any defects.
You may need help in the installation of any types of signs, be it a Wall Decal, Hanging Sign, Lightbox Signs, etc.
Signs can be installed in a variety of ways and require different installation hardware. They can be directly mounted on the wall, installed on a special construction or fixed on the ground.
Below see a more precise explanation of signage installation options.
In case of more complex installation, such as fixing the sign on top of the building, we use special equipment.
We provide with all the pre-installation procedures, such as drilling holes, fixing hanging hardware, etc. and all the required tools for installation.
The types of installation may vary depending on the size and the location of the sign.
On raceway – some types of signs such as 3D Letters or Illuminated letters can be neatly installed on a raceway.
Wall mounting – many types of signage can be directly mounted to the wall with a highly secure silicone, with screws or with elegant standoffs. The later are metallic screws and caps that keep the signage detached from the wall and giving it a more professional look.
Hanging – with our customer's choice we can hang the signs with chains anywhere they desire.
Special construction or a pole – various types of signs (Street Signs, Lightbox Signs, etc.) can be installed on a pole as well as on a special construction.
Installation on the ground – Pylon/Monument Signs and other types of signs that require ground installation require special tools, which our craftsmen are ready to provide and install the sign in a quick and smooth manner.
Stands – Banner Signs can be installed with the help of various types of stands. But there are other types of Banner installation as well. For installation with poles, we can make special pole pockets on them. Also, there are many accessories used for Banner installation for which we add grommets on them.
Installation of adhesives – Decals, Stickers and Vinyl Letterings do not require much effort for installation, but our craftsmen are ready to help you with that as well. For the installation of these three products we use a special tool called squeegee, and in the case of Letterings, we use a special tape for spacing. As for Vehicle Wrapping, you can leave your vehicle in our factory and then take it back already neatly wrapped.
No matter what level of difficulty the installation has, Front Signs is ready to help you with that process. We take all the hassles of installation on us, leaving you to enjoy the ready products neatly installed in their place.
Besides installation services, we offer replacement services as well. If you want to replace your old sign with a new one, we are ready to do the replacement. Even if the overall sign does not need to be replaced and only one part of it needs a replacement, we are ready to do that as well.
Whenever you need to install or replace your sign, our professional craftsmen are ready to provide you with the best installation and replacement services.
What mechanisms do you use to hang signs?
The Custom signs can be hung with hooks or ropes or attached to the frame with zip ties or bungee. You can hang the sign on beautiful metallic supporters or you can hang it straight from the ceiling.

Dead Meat is a zombie apocalypse tale told from the perspective of Gavin, a young man living in River's Edge when an outbreak of what the media claims is rabies spread by rats has already overtaken the town. The military has been called in and at the start of the story it's clear that this is no normal case of rabies. Gavin meets Benny, who is hiding out on the roof of a convenience store, a couple of days into the mess the 'bees' (what Gavin dubs the undead/biters, because they tend to swarm together when they attack) have created. Together, they try to make their way to Gavin's sister and parents who live in another town, but naturally there are a tremendous amount of obstacles in their way, including the military, who are exterminating the living along with the undead with extreme prejudice in an attempt to control the plague.
While this story is in the traditional Romero mold with slow moving undead, this first person, present tense tale takes a different tact than many stories I've seen. You would expect this story to be about survival, which it is, and about dealing with human drama, which it also is about, but it really burrows down deep into issues of trust and how being a survivor changes a person much more than most. We go deep into Gavin's paranoia and trust issues, as well as how tortured he is by what he is forced to witness and do to stay alive. While the story is about Gavin, it is Benny's tale too, along with Rickett, an old recluse they happen upon, and Henry (Henrietta) a girl they also find during their trip. But the dynamic between Gavin and Benny is the highlight here-how difficult and ugly it is for them to gain one another's trust and yet still not trust each other, how it seems that they're at each other's throats most of the time while still having to rely upon one another. It is a complex relationship and one that I was intrigued by from start to finish. The key element with this story is how each of the characters feels real, not limiting stereotypes with no depth, or even a meager attempt at giving them depth. Gavin is the main character but that doesn't make him extremely the hero of the tale-his paranoia tends to get annoying at points, as does his mistrust of almost everyone around him. Benny seems to be an unapologetic sociopath at times, while at other times it's clear that he hasn't lost his humanity despite all the inhumane things he has been forced to do and seems to revel in. This story is as much a character study of these two as it is a saga of the zombie apocalypse. We see it all through Gavin's eyes and so the outside elements are limited-we know nothing of the military except for his limited perspective, nothing about what is going on outside of narrow sphere of his experiences, and as such a lot of minor details slip to the wayside while the dynamics of his relationship with Benny, Rickett, and Henry are explored in tremendous detail.
Since I tend to favor zombie tales that devote most of their energy to the human relationships in them and how people are twisted and changed in a survivor tale, I found this story to be a highly entertaining entry into the zombieverse. It also has plenty of violence and action to spread around, making this something for pretty much all zombie fans to enjoy.

Sydney facing harshest water restrictions..
Sydney facing harshest water restrictions in a decade
DroughtGladys Berejiklianwater restrictions
Sydney will be under level two water restrictions within a few weeks as drought continues to ravage NSW.
The Premier has announced the restrictions will come into effect on December 10, forcing residents to water their gardens and wash their cars with buckets instead of hoses during approved hours.
It also means pools can only be topped up for 15 minutes a day using a hose with a trigger nozzle.
The level two restrictions haven't been in effect in Sydney since the Millennium Drought.
But NSW Minister for Water Melinda Pavey says dam levels have shrunk to new lows making the new restrictions, which were originally planned to come into effect in February, more urgent.
"Because we've had a drop in those dam levels that were outside our timing and outside our predictions, it's sort of like an insurance policy.
"We're going into summer, we don't want to get to a dire situation. We want to get as much out of our water supply as possible."

Sly Cooper : Voleurs à travers le temps, (titré  dans sa version originale nord-américaine) souvent abrégé Sly 4, est un jeu vidéo d'action et plates-formes développé par Sanzaru Games et édité par SCE début 2013.

Trame

Toile de fond
Le jeu met principalement en scène le raton laveur Sly Cooper () et ses deux amis l'hippopotame Murray (Chris Murphy) et la tortue Bentley (Matt Olsen), qui forment à eux trois un gang de voleurs. Au même moment où disparait Penelope (Annette Toutonghi), la copine de ce dernier, plusieurs pages du Volus Ratonus s'effacent et le gang n'a d'autre choix que de voyager à travers le temps pour comprendre ce qu'il se passe.

Le gang doit se rendre successivement au Japon féodal pour retrouver le ninja Rioichi Cooper (Steve Blum), à l'époque du Far West pour retrouver le hors-la-loi Tennessee Kid Cooper (Sam Riegel), à l'âge de glace pour retrouve Bob Cooper (), en Angleterre au  pour retrouver Sir Galleth Cooper (Yuri Lowenthal) et en Arabie pour retrouver Salim Al-Kupar Cooper (Brian George).

Le principal antagoniste du jeu est Le Paradox (Nolan North). La policière et copine de Sly, Carmelita Fox (Grey DeLisle), est également de la partie.

Introduction
L'histoire commence là où le troisième épisode de la série s'est arrêté : après l'effondrement du caveau des Cooper sur l'île de Kaine, le clan s'est dissipé, laissant alors les différents membres libres dans leurs occupations. Sly, qui prétendait être amnésique à la fin de Sly 3, avoue qu'il ne s'agissait que d'une comédie ayant eu pour but de pouvoir vivre paisiblement en toute légalité. Bentley et Pénélope ont créé un laboratoire secret afin d'y mener quelques recherches et Murray a décidé de concourir dans le demolition derby avec son van (parodie du jeu de Psygnosis : Destruction Derby). Un jour, après avoir étudié le Volus Ratonus de fond en comble, Bentley constata que les pages du livre s'effaçaient sous ses yeux. Il décida alors de retrouver ses anciens compères afin de leur montrer l'étendue des dégâts. Le verdict fut simple : quelqu'un ou quelque chose avait pour but d'effacer les Cooper de l'Histoire. C'est alors que Bentley révéla son fameux plan top secret évoqué à la fin de Sly 3 : une machine à remonter le temps. La seule condition au voyage temporel est de posséder un objet provenant d'une époque pour pouvoir s'y rendre. Et c'est ainsi que les nouvelles aventures de Sly commencent avec pour premier objectif de voler une dague japonaise du  dans un somptueux musée d'œuvres d'art en plein Paris.

Contenu
Le retour des bouteilles à collecter permettant de récupérer des indices afin d'ouvrir le coffre d'un monde a été annoncé. Cet élément avait disparu dans Sly 3. Les masques à l'effigie du logo de Sly, au nombre de 60, sont également à collectionner à la fois dans les mondes et dans les missions afin de débloquer des bonus comme des armes ou encore des tenues.

De plus, les mondes sont plus grands et plus destructibles que dans les opus précédents.

Des costumes pour Sly sont présents dans le jeu et permettent chacun d'avoir de nouvelles aptitudes une fois portés. Il en existe cinq :
Samouraï repousse les attaques de feu et passe inaperçu parmi les gardes.
Prisonnier permet à Sly de pousser de objets lourds ou de passer sur des obstacles au sol en marchant sur le boulet.
Dents de sabre permet à Sly d'effectuer de grands bonds en visant des ennemis ou des leurres.
Archer met à disposition de Sly un arc tirant des flèches entourées de cordes pour accéder d'un endroit à un autre.
Voleur permet de ralentir le temps.

Par ailleurs, l'aspect collection est plus présent dans cet épisode. En effet, un mur du Refuge est entièrement destiné à l'entreposage d'objets à collectionner.

Le jeu dispose de nombreux personnages, dont les principaux sont Sly Cooper, Bentley, Murray et Carmelita Fox, ainsi que les ancêtres de Sly : Rioichi Cooper, Tennessee Kid Cooper, Bob Cooper, Sir Richard Galleth Cooper et Salim Al Kupar. Dimitri fait également quelques apparitions en indiquant au clan l'époque vers laquelle il doit voyager.

Les données binaires affichées lors des briefings de Bentley sont des caractères encodés en ASCII et peuvent être décodés manuellement, formant ainsi des messages.

Pour la première fois, le binocom semble pouvoir se déplacer lors des débriefs avec Bentley, chose autrefois impossible.

Production

Contrairement aux autres jeux de la franchise, ce volet n'est pas développé par Sucker Punch Productions, mais part le studio Sanzaru Games.

Penix, IU athletes to help promote NHRA US Nationals in Indy
By MICHAEL MAROT - Sep. 03, 2021 03:32 PM EDT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is cashing in before he goes under center for the team's season opener Saturday at No. 18 Iowa.
Penix, two teammates and three other Hoosier athletes are using social media accounts to post a promo video for this weekend's NHRA U.S. Nationals race at the suburban Indianapolis drag strip.
It's the first time a motor sports league has paid prominent college players to help sell tickets, and it plans to add others from campuses near each of this year's seven remaining events — thanks to new NCAA rules allowing athletes to profit from their names, images and likenesses.
"We wanted a school in close proximity to the event and individuals with strong and engaged social followings who represent this community in a positive manner," NHRA vice president of marketing and communications Jeffrey Young told The Associated Press. "We wanted to deliver the excitement of an NHRA event through a quick-hitting, attention-grabbing video."
Contract terms were not disclosed.
Penix is in good company this weekend.
He joins All-American receiver Ty Fryfogle and long snapper Sean Wracher, basketball players Michael Durr and Anthony Leal and Olympic silver medalist-winning diver Andrew Capobianco in sharing an ad touting the power and speeds of dragsters.
While Durr, Leal and Capobianco have been invited to attend the series' only Indy stop this season, Penix, Fryfogle and Wracher will be busy trying to help No. 17 Indiana protect its first preseason ranking since 1969.
A year ago, as racing reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic, Indy became the venue for drag races. Drivers held four consecutive events at Lucas Oil Raceway, just a few miles away from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This September, 2020 Top Fuel runner-up Leah Pruett senses a difference.
"I feel like this year, U.S. Nationals has a broader sense of prestige than it did last year because we haven't raced here in a full year, where last year we raced here two weekends before," she said. "So this year, is really kind of the homecoming, I think, for U.S. Nationals where maybe we'll call it the prom last year."
Getting Penix on board is a win for the NHRA.
The Florida native helped revive Indiana's football program, leading it to two straight bowl games despite suffering three straight season-ending injuries.
Coach Tom Allen said that despite balancing rehab, football, classwork and now branding, Penix has hardly been distracted by the endorsement.
"He's doing more than he's ever done in regards to every time we had a special teams period or a different type of period he was always with the training staff doing extra work," Allen said Monday. "He's right where we hoped he would be and he's 100% ready to be the starter on Saturday."
Indiana's athletic department fully endorses the deals, too.
Senior associate athletic director for strategic communications Jeremy Gray said school officials do not negotiate or approve contracts, though athletes are to disclose deals within a 10-day window and are encouraged to seek legal advice so they understand contract language and implications.
"We've encouraged them to profit off of their names, images and likenesses," Gray said. "Coaches are not involved, but I think our coaches would basically say do whatever you need to do as long as you don't embarrass yourself or the program — and be at practice on time."
NHRA met its newest promoters through Opendorse, a content delivery software service Indiana hired three years ago to help create quick, Internet-ready videos of everything from winning basketball shots to Allen's postgame speeches.
When it appeared NIL changes were coming last year, the company introduced Opendorse Ready, a product that helps advertisers contact athletes directly. Indiana was the second school to sign up, after Nebraska.
Indiana's athletes seem to be benefiting.
All-Big Ten basketball star Trayce Jackson-Davis is now promoting Indiana-based Merchants Bank. Several of his teammates, including Leal, are making money on endorsements and interview appearances. Two other football players, receiver Miles Marshall and All-American cornerback Tiawan Mullen, are selling T-shirts,.
And now on college football's first full weekend, Fryfogle, Wracher and Penix also will be cashing in — as they face the Hawkeyes.
This story has been corrected to show that the last of the 2020 Top Fuel runner-up is spelled Pruett, not Pruitt.

GATE: Of Dragons and a Spirit of Fire by Pkd
Halo & Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku Tatakeri Xover Rated: T, English, Adventure & Fantasy, J. Cutter, E. Anders, OC, Third Recon, Words: 69k+, Favs: 1k+, Follows: 1k+, Published: 1/26/2018 Updated: 5/29/2022}
591 Chapter 1: Arrival
05:57 Hours, March 28, 2536 (UNSC Military Calendar)
The Spirit of Fire, a Phoenix-Class Colony ship refitted into a support ship, sailed silently through the vast reaches of empty space. Battered and old, the former colony ship saw through many actions throughout its entire service history. From ferrying colonists to newly discovered worlds, to suppressing insurrectionist activities, to providing support to orbital and ground force in the war against the Covenant. The battle at the mysterious artificial alien world took a toll on the ship as thousands of brave soldiers sacrificed their lives to halt the Covenant from gaining access to accelerate their genocidal war on humanity, and the using the slipspace drive - their only way of making back home - to destroy the alien world, preventing the Covenant from gaining valuable asset. However, it prevented her from making a jump to human space and forced her into a long painful journey back home.
This was few years ago, the ship's crew were already waking up from their cryp-sleep and are now attending to their respective duties thanks to Serina waking them up. Eventually the ship was filled with marines patrolling the ship's hall, engineers and technicians conducting maintenance operations on various machineries aboard the ship, and sailors making sure the ship was operating at full capacity. Many were still wondering why they were awaken from their slumber, but only handful currently knew the reason why.
"Hello captain, I take it you slept well?" Serina asked her CO.
Cutter twisted his neck to release the muscle there. "Feeling a little stiff from the sleep." He said as he entered the lift and pushed the down button that lead him to the observation deck.
"Serina, give me a sitrep on the ship."
"Most of the damage we received from the last battle has been fully repaired; The port superstructure has been rebuilt along with the 5 herons docked with it. All weapon system has been repaired and functional, though the MAC gun is suffering some system issue. All surviving crew are accounted for and all woken. Should I go over the inventory?"
"Later Serina, for now let's look at our current situation."
The lift quietly descended down to the observation deck as it pass by numerous decks. It continued on for several seconds until it came to the bottom superstructure of the ship, where the former observation deck was converted into a personal laboratory.
"Serina, how long have we been sleeping?" Cutter asked Serina, the ship's on-board smart AI.
"Approximately 5 years, 1 month, 28 days, 4 hours, and 34 minutes since we went to cryo-sleep, captain." Serina reported.
"Five years." Cutter muttered, a sense of deja vu flowing through him.
Cutter soon arrived at the makeshift laboratory and entered to see Anders busy working with the starmap.
"Professor, I take it that you enjoyed your beauty sleep?" Serina asked teasingly
"Yes, I had a good sleep, and I mean good in that I woke with my skin raw and the bronchial surfactant I swallowed taste like crap." Anders sarcastically replied without getting distracted from her work.
"Let's cut the chat ladies. Professor, it's good to see you, do you have any idea where we are?" Cutter asked.
Anders then brought up a holographic images from the holo-table projected a Earth-like planet they were orbiting above; Cutter saw that the majority of the world was similar to Earth - where majority of the planet was covered in water with the remaining space occupied by land - though compared to Earth there were only about 3 major continents, with the largest landmass where the Spirit was orbiting above.
"Hmmm… I don't know where we honestly." Anders muttered. "I checked the ship records for anything that happened few hours ago that took us here… But all I'm getting is that one moment the ship was on its course, and the next thing, we're at this place." Anders finished with a baffled tone. "Wherever we're, its at least at a habitable world, scanners have the world having the same breathable atmosphere as Earth.
Cutter silently looked at the holographic image of the planet, contemplating on his next course of action. While the ship was not near any UNSC space to call for aid, they were very lucky the ship was currently orbiting a perfect habitable world with resources to restock supplies aboard and conducting some minor repairs to the ship. However, they were still stranded without any form of FTL travel. Cutter didn't knew how long they were going to be stuck on this world, but at the same time whatever unknown force sent them to this unknown world there was a chance that could find the source of it, and use it to get back to the UNSC.
"Captain, I ran through a general scan and found out that there are many life signatures inhabiting the world, most of the signature is located on the largest continent of the world." Serine reported. "Not detecting any sign of technological development, but I'm also sensing an unknown type of energy emitting from the surface."
"Unknown energy?" Anders inquired.
"Is it possible this energy might be responsible for bringing us here?" Cutter also asked.
"Can say for sure, but I'll need either direct sample or a closer look at the surface for further analysis." Serena said with her head slightly down while scratching her own chin in contemplation, as multiple different calculation and analysis course through her.
"I'll have Red team and a recon team ready in an hour." Cutter said. "We're going to find out where we are at, what brought us here, and why we're here."
Please read and review! Future chapters will be coming soon!

Q: Unique value in list of lists in Python I have following list of lists in python :
[
    u'aaaaa',
    [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    u'zzzzzz',
    [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'],
    [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    u'bbbbb',
    [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'],
    [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 7, u'develop', 20.0, 15.0, 5.0, 'On Going']
]

I want following output in python :
[
    [u'aaaaa', [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time']],
    [u'zzzzzz', [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'], [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time']],
    [u'bbbbb', [1, 7, u'develop', 20.0, 15.0, 5.0, 'On Going']]
]

Please suggest me how can it possible with manage order in python.

A: The following should give you the desired output. It uses a dictionary to spot duplicate entries.
entries = [
    u'aaaaa', [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    u'zzzzzz', [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'],
    [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    u'bbbbb',
    [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'],
    [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time'],
    [1, 7, u'develop', 20.0, 15.0, 5.0, 'On Going']]

d = {}
output = []
entry = []

for item in entries:
    if type(item) == type([]):
        t = tuple(item)
        if t not in d:
            d[t] = 0
            entry.append(item)
    else:
        if len(entry):
            output.append(entry)

        entry = [item]

output.append(entry)

print output

This gives the following output:
[[u'aaaaa', [1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time']], [u'zzzzzz', [1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going'], [2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time']], [u'bbbbb', [1, 7, u'develop', 20.0, 15.0, 5.0, 'On Going']]]

Tested using Python 2.7
Update: If a list of lists format is needed, simply add [] to item in the above script as follows::
entry.append([item])

This would give the following output:
[[u'aaaaa', [[1, 6, u'testing', 20.0, 18.0, 2.0, 'In time']]], [u'zzzzzz', [[1, 1, u'xyz ', 30.0, 25.0, 5.0, 'On Going']], [[2, 1, u'abcd', 10.0, 8.0, 2.0, 'In time']]], [u'bbbbb', [[1, 7, u'develop', 20.0, 15.0, 5.0, 'On Going']]]]

A: If you want all unique values from a list:
mylist = [u'nowplaying', u'PBS', u'PBS', u'nowplaying', u'job', u'debate', u'thenandnow']
mylist = [list(x) for x in set(tuple(x) for x in testdata)]
print myset # This is now a set containing all unique values.
# This will not maintain the order of the items

A: 1) I really think you should check out Python dictionaries. They would make much more sense, looking at the kind of output you want.
2) In this case, if I understand you correctly, you want to convert a list with elements that are either strings or lists into a list of lists. This list of lists should have a starting element as a string, and the remaining elements as the following list items within the main list, till you hit the next string. (At least that's what it looks like from your example).
output_list = []
for elem in main_list:
    if isinstance(elem,basestring):
        output_list.append([elem])
    else:
        output_list[-1].append(elem)

The Board:
Tarrant County (that's the lowest Monday number in quite some time.):
Wise County: 12 cases. We had an increase of 33% yesterday! (That's three more cases to you non-math majors out there.)
I won't begin to tell you I understand how the price can go to -$35 for a barrel of oil, but I did have someone tell me yesterday it was all because "May [futures] contracts [are] expiring tomorrow", and Trump said at his press conference that "a lot of people got squeezed." I think it was the equivalent of a bunch of traders having previously agreed to buy oil at $x a barrel on a certain date and yesterday it all became real. Either actually buy the oil at that previously agreed upon price or sell your contract. For those people who had no place to actually store the oil, they were willing to pay people to take it off their hands. It still makes no sense to me. The June futures contract are up next. They fell from $20 a barrel to $16 a barrel this morning. None of this is good news.
The Art of the Oil Deal from nine days ago:
It would be a good gig to be a photographer at one of these protests.
Note the mask.
Spellcheck malfunction
Some hard selling of Jesus thrown in there.
The governor of Maryland throwing shade.
Of course he did. But who exactly wants to come here with unemployment moving to 30%? (I'm not sure that "Invisible Enemy" label is as catchy as he thinks it is.)
Having to wear masks in our now open Texas state parks makes absolutely no sense.
Of all states "opening up", it looks like Georgia will be the most ambitious with restaurants opening up on Monday. Then again, it was just a couple of weeks ago that its governor stated he had "just learned" that the coronavirus could be transmitted with people with no symptoms. That state deserves to be the guinea pig. (Cue John Mayer's "Why Georgia".)
Despite Trump being obsessed with his "great ratings" for his daily coronavirus updates (he tweeted about it again this morning), few people are watching. But I want you to. It is Bizarro World every day.
Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional for a state to allow a person to be convicted of a crime by a non-unanimous jury verdict. Seems like a pretty simple proposition, but those boys have to make everything complicated:
Tom Lester, Ed Eb of Green Acres fame, has died. I saw that he was also a Baptist minister and made the circuit for most of his life. I'll have to confirm it, but I have a very vague memory of him speaking at the First Baptist of Bridgeport when I was a boy. (Side note: There's nothing wrong with Green Acres. Mrs. LL and I actually got sucked into it a couple of years back.)
Legal nerd stuff: Speaking of Georgia, a jury sent a note to a judge saying one juror had decided to vote not guilty because he didn't believe any of the State's witnesses so they wanted to know if that constituted a hung jury. Instead of saying "yep, it sure does", the judge removed that juror from the jury and the remainder of them convicted the defendant. It was reversed yesterday. (That link has the opinion and even video of the poor assistant DA trying to argue on appeal everything was kosher.)
I always monitor the list of criminal cases (from Class C to Felonies) filed in Wise County every day. The list is normally thirty or more cases which are dominated, of course, with traffic tickets. Until now. Nothing is being filed including traffic tickets. These are strange days.
