Time for Republicans to Experiment in Getting Out the Vote

From the first Morning Jolt of the week:
It's Time for Republicans to Experiment in Getting Out the Vote
One of the recurring lines I've heard in my "where do Republicans/conservatives go from here" conversations is, "Why don't the [Koch Brothers/Sheldon Adelson/wealthy GOP donors] take all the money they wasted on SuperPAC ads last year and this cycle spend it on [their preferred idea]."
Now, sometimes "[their preferred idea]" is a good one, sometimes it sounds like a bad one, and oftentimes we don't really know if it's a good one or a bad one, because it either hasn't been tried, or it hasn't been tried on the scale that the person is envisioning.
But usually the idea requires some massive investment of millions of dollars, and the speaker usually wants to be in charge of the budget for this multi-million project.
Now, there have to be some ideas out there that can be implemented without the support of a Koch brother or a Sheldon Adelson, ones that can be implemented by the grassroots. Because if our comeback is entirely dependent upon the wealthiest guys making the right choice when it comes to which political activity they want to finance, we're in trouble.
The first congressional contest of this year is the special U.S. House election for Illinois' 2nd congressional district in Chicago and a portion of its southern suburbs on April 9.
The district represents a steep challenge for Republicans; the district gave 90 percent of its vote to Barack Obama in 2008 and was until recently represented by Democrat Jesse Jackson Jr., who managed to easily win reelection in 2012 even though he was under criminal investigation and on medical leave. The district scores a D+32 in the Cook Partisan Voting Index, it does have some less heavily Democratic sections, stretching from 53rd Street on the city's South Side through the south suburbs of Chicago, all the way to Kankakee County.
There are five Republicans running; they're all relatively unknown. Breitbart's Rebel Pundit has talked to Paul McKinley and Dr. Eric Wallace. Earlier this month I spoke to the one candidate who has something of a media presence, syndicated radio commentator Lenny McAllister.
I don't know if this guy is going to win the primary; and I have no illusions at the near-miracle it would take for the Republicans to win this seat. But every Republican who's depressed by seeing the results of the November election agrees that our party has to get better at getting out the vote, in friendly districts, unfriendly districts, and everywhere in between. This is our first opportunity, and we have a few things going for us: A Democratic primary with 17 (!) candidates, and the low turnout of a special election. (When Rahm Emanuel left to become White House Chief of Staff, there was an open-seat race in another corner of Chicago in 2009. Total turnout: About 41,000 votes, with the winner claiming about 31,000. Rahm Emanuel himself didn't vote in it, saying he forgot to file for an absentee ballot.) In November's House race, with Jackson Jr. on the ballot, 67,396 voted for the Republican candidate, Brian Woodworth. How many of those 67,000 can Republicans get out to vote on April 9?
The low chances of success in this contest might actually be liberating. Suppose the Republicans in this district try an idea that backfires terribly; it's not like a mistake like that would botch a seat we should have won. If it doesn't work, we scratch it off the list and try another one. This is the time to experiment and try new things. This year we have two more special elections in not-terribly-competitive districts, the South Carolina first district seat on May 7, and the Missouri eighth district seat sometime in the spring (the date isn't set yet). Then we have the bigger fish, the Massachusetts special Senate election (date to be determined, sometime in late spring, but perhaps as late as around July 4) and this November's gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia.
But note that these ideas are unlikely to come from the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, the Republican Governors Association, or the National Republican Senatorial Committee. It's not that there are bad guys running those groups (although I know some of you disagree). It's that they're big institutions with large risks for putting resources – financial, time, manpower – into untested ideas. (You know the old anecdote – any CEO who needs an outside consultant goes with the biggest name, because they know they'll never get grief for making the safe pick. If you hire somebody who's relatively unknown, you look like a genius if it works out but you look like a fool if he falls flat on his face. You see the same phenomenon with the National Football League's annual coaching carousel.)
Actions by the big party committees are guaranteed to attract scrutiny. If the NRCC tries some new strategy for direct mail or organizing volunteers online and it flops, you'll hear the same mockery from the mainstream media about those hapless Republicans, and more grumbling from the grassroots, outside critics sneering they're the gang who can't shoot straight, etc. The grassroots organizers within these particular districts have a lot more leeway to try new ideas.
Patrick Ruffini continues his fascinating dissection of Obama's successful 2012 campaign, examining the "legacy report" of the campaign:
"Three out of five team leaders and one in five team members volunteered 10 or more hours per week, much more than other volunteers."
80% of Obama volunteers reported living within 10 miles of an office. 631 Obama offices in target states vs. 282 for Romney.
So, presuming you can afford it, a key step is having as many campaign offices as possible in as many different places as possible. You want your campaign to have a presence in every community, whether it's red, blue, or purple, and to leave no vote unpursued…

DavidAndGoliath.com Is Held for Ransom by Masked Villains. Will David Angelo Pay Up?
Ever since Los Angeles ad agency David&Goliath opened its doors in November 1999, it has suffered the indignity of not being able to get its hands on davidandgoliath.com, which was being used by another company. Founder David Angelo and his shop—best known for its Kia advertising—were forced to settle for dng.com, a depressingly acronymic substitute for such a mythic name.
But it looks like Angelo might finally be able to seize the prized URL—for a price.
If you visit davidandgoliath.com this week, the site redirects to URLransom.com, which features videos (two so far) of masked hostage takers—who appear to have kidnapped a laptop and are in the process of torturing it. Only if Angelo ponies up an undisclosed amount for davidandgoliath.com will the torture stop.
We know the identity of the hostage takers, but have been sworn to secrecy—for now. Will Angelo take the bait and pay the ransom, or will he follow protocol and refuse to negotiate with terrorists? We've reached out to Angelo for his reaction to the troubling events. Keep an eye out for the resolution later this week.
UPDATE: Angelo hasn't replied to us, but did post a tweet that could be interpreted a few different ways. Is he annoyed by the stunt, or having fun with it? See below.


This is the perfect example to illustrate how, in the world of vintage Rolex collectors, relatively small changes to a watch's specification can have huge ramifications to value. To the uninformed, this is simply a stainless steel Tudor Oyster with a slightly odd case shape and unusually styled large bracelet ends, but to the connoisseur who understands these things, this is a fascinating watch that will be regarded as extremely desirable. In fact we could go further, and say that it is the most interesting, and certainly the most attractive, Tudor Oyster that we have ever offered for sale on this site. In almost thirty years of daily involvement with high grade collectible wristwatches, we have never seen its twin, and there is no similar model pictured in any of the standard reference books relating to vintage Rolex items.
To explain why this particular watch is such an oddity, it will be necessary to give a little bit of background information regarding the Rolex Oyster in the inter-war years. This is not by any means superfluous, and an understanding of this will lead to an appreciation of this model.
The self-winding Oysters of the inter-war period are known by collectors today as "bubble backs", this nickname coming from the case backs on these models being distinctively very domed. Arguably the most desirable bubble back variants are those with hooded lugs. On these items, a separate piece of pressed metal fits between the lugs, giving the front view of the watch a closed in, strong art deco appearance. These hooded bubble backs were created in a variety of metals, but those on which the hoods are in gold and the rest of the case is in steel are probably the most eye catching. Despite being some of the most attractive Oysters ever offered, the hooded models were discontinued in the late 1940s, after which they were never to re-appear.
What makes this 1961 Tudor Oyster so collectible is that its aesthetics resurrect the style and construction of the pre-war hooded bubble back. The bracelet, completely parallel sided like an early bubbleback example, and totally different from the tapered versions that Rolex was using as standard on the Oyster at this time, has oversized flush fit endpieces, but these are not integrated with the rest of the bracelet. As a consequence, they completely fill out the area between the lugs, appearing as free floating hoods that are virtually identical in appearance to those on its exotic bubbleback forebears.
It would be easy to think that the appeal of this piece lies in its very unusual bracelet with its beautiful prominent hoods, and that the watch head itself had a more conventional specification. However, close examination of this item reveals that the case body itself is also very different from its contemporaries. On a standard Rolex Oyster manufactured in the 1950s or '60s, the lugs, when viewed from the side, go to a sharp point at either end. On the 1930s and '40s hooded bubblebacks, the lugs were far more rounded and abruptly ended. Remarkably, this case was clearly influenced by the hooded bubbleback, and has far more club-like rounded lugs than any other post-war Oyster that we have ever seen. It is quite apparent that when designing this model, the person, or persons, responsible, took the hooded bubbleback as their inspiration and created this unique case and bracelet to be used together to achieve this particular retro-1930s look, but in a contemporary 1960s watch.
The condition of this watch is almost mint throughout. We purchased it from its original owner, who clearly only ever used it for special occasions. If one looks closely enough with a jeweller's eyeglass, there are the tiniest few imperfections in places to the large stainless steel case, but these are so small as to be almost invisible and may well have been there when the watch was sold new.
Between the upper case lugs is the individual serial number for this watch 567302, with the model reference 7996 being stamped between the lower lugs. If we look this up in Charles Jarman's Rolex Reference Guide 4th Edition, we find that it relates to "man's Oyster Prince Date, stainless steel, polished bezel", which is a perfect summary of the item here. What is again odd is that it is clear that no special reference was assigned to this hooded version. The same 7996 reference equally applies to the standard Tudor Oyster automatic with date from the same era, which suggests that Rolex didn't make enough of this curious variant to merit giving the model its own reference. This is pure speculation, but we have certainly never seen its twin or known anyone who has, which suggests strongly that very few of these watches were produced in the first instance.
Internally, the threaded case back is signed "Montres Tudor SA, Geneva, Switzerland, Patented, Stainless Steel, C.R.S". Externally is the large lettering "Original Oyster Case by Rolex Geneve", together with a large rendition of the company's coronet emblem. The milling around the case back edge is in virtually as-new condition and this component has only ever been removed with the correct Rolex factory tool.
The screw down winding crown is the original with which the watch left Rolex when new. This is signed on its outer surface with a large coronet emblem and is the post-1954 pattern of crown that is still used by Rolex today on its current Oysters. The fine threads inside the crown are in perfect condition, as are those on the tube that protrudes from the case side. As a consequence, the crown winds down perfectly in place and locks tightly against the case side.
If the unusual case and complimentary bracelet take their styling cues from the hooded bubblebacks of the 1930s, then the dial here couldn't be more evocative of the second half of the 1950s. Post-war Rolex dials do not get more appealing than this, it having the classic mixture of Arabic numerals at the compass points and batons for the other positions that collectors today will refer to as an "explorer dial". This term was originally inspired by the Rolex Oyster model of the same name, this having this distinctive dial format, but in more recent times, it has become a something of a generic working phrase that quickly identifies any dial with this appearance.
This is a totally original dial that has never been restored, yet it remains in faultless, almost perfect, condition. There isn't even the slightest hint of discolouration or spotting, and one couldn't hope to find an untouched 1960s dial in a better state. On a watch like this one, dial condition is everything. The only person who will buy this item will be an experienced collector who appreciates just how unusual it is. By definition, anyone with experience in this area will be aware of how important dial condition and originality are in defining the value of any collectible vintage watch. If this watch had a restored dial, it would be virtually impossible to sell, because the type of informed buyer that would be interested in acquiring it would instantly dismiss it out of hand as undesirable because of its second rate dial. In reality, because its dial is completely original and so close to being perfect, it would make the perfect choice for the serious collector or investor.
The signature "Tudor Prince Oysterdate, T Swiss T" is stated above and below the dial centre point in black. Beneath this is the wording "Rotor Self-Winding" in the format that was also used on the early Oyster Explorers. An example of this same signature is shown in a full colour picture of a 1953 Explorer on page 338 of Osvaldo Patrizzi's book "Collecting Rolex Wristwatches 2001".
In common with the rest of the watch, the chromed hands are totally original. These are free from corrosion and still with their tritium infill, which remains, quite amazingly, in an un-deteriorated state.
The movement used in this item is calibre 2462. This 11.5 ligne ( the ligne is the unit of width measurement used as standard in the Swiss watch industry) unit was the flagship mechanism used by Rolex for its Tudor Oysters at this time and was offered in three grades, these having 17, 21 and 25 jewels respectively. Its running speed was 18000 half beats per hour and it boasted a very useful power reserve ( the length of time that the movement would run from fully wound to stopped if left untouched) of 42 hours.
Rolex movements are finished to a remarkably high standard, and certainly this one does not disappoint in any way. Every surface of this item has been beautifully decorated, either with Geneva stripes or engine turned pearling. The signature "Tudor, Auto-Prince, 25 Rubies, Swiss Made" is infilled with gold to make it stand out against its rhodium plated background and the calibre number 2462 is stamped alongside the regulator.
The condition of this movement is literally indistinguishable from that in a brand new watch. Regardless of the amount of money expended, it would be impossible to find a better preserved vintage mechanism than this one. Having been serviced regularly throughout its life, this movement works perfectly and is in the best possible mechanical health. Provided its new owner continues to have it cleaned and lubricated every three or four years, there is no reason whatsoever why this movement will not be providing sterling service half a century from now. One of the most appealing aspects of vintage watches to many buyers is their potential for almost infinite longevity. While acquiring a rare model like this one may seem expensive at the time of purchase, if we bring into the equation that it can quite realistically be a watch for the rest of one's life, and the fact that older Rolex Oysters are superb appreciating assets, then there probably isn't a cheaper way of owning any kind of timekeeping device, let alone one that has such luxurious connotations.
An integral part of this watch's appeal is its extremely unusual original bracelet. It is generally accepted that the only parallel sided, non tapered, bracelets that Rolex ever made were produced in the 1930s and '40s for use on the bubbleback models. These had riveted construction. Utterly bizarrely, here we have a parallel sided steel bracelet with the folded link construction that so typifies Rolex bracelets of the 1960s. In real terms, this is what can only be described as a bubbleback bracelet, but constructed in a manner that followed the last "real" bubbleback bracelets by over a decade. We have never seen this model of Rolex bracelet at any time, and strongly suspect that it may be one of the rarest of all the company's bracelets used on the Oyster. Parallel sided bracelets are pictured in Osvaldo Patrizzi's "Collecting Rolex Wristwatches 2001" ( page 140) and James Dowling's "Rolex Wristwatches, The Best of Time" ( page 308), but these are riveted items from the 1940s. There is no mention anywhere of parallel bracelets being offered by Rolex in the 1960s or even 50s, and certainly not with folded link construction, yet this bracelet is entirely genuine, and presumably, given that it is fully signed rather than blank as a prototype probably would have been, was sold when new as a conventional retail product.
This is a full length bracelet that has never been shortened, its closed length being 163mm ( its width is 15mm across the parallel sides and 19mm between the lugs). Its fliplock clasp is signed with a large coronet emblem and its internal clasp plates are stamped "Rolex, Made in England, Stainless Steel, WAB". In order to reduce the amount of import duty that had to be paid, Rolex had bracelets produced domestically in a number of the markets in which its watches were offered. These Birmingham made English bracelets are of extremely high quality and are at least the equal of their Swiss made equivalents.
Pricing this watch is so difficult, simply because there is no precedent of a comparable example having been sold elsewhere. A standard shaped, completely original, near mint, early 1960s Tudor Oyster in stainless steel on a leather strap will typically change hands for around £750 GB pounds in investment grade condition, but this is a much rarer beast altogether. The value of the bracelet is also very high. In the last two years, we have sold two parallel sided bubbleback bracelets in steel for £900 and £1150 GB pounds respectively. This later version technically isn't a bubbleback bracelet in the strictest sense because it's too modern, but it shares almost all the same attributes and is actually a rarer item than its inter-war predecessor.
If we were purely interested in maximising the amount we could receive for this item, then by far the most effective step for us to have taken would have been to split the watch head and bracelet, selling them separately. The watch head, with its very unusual side profile, would have sold easily for £900 to £1000, and the bracelet for, conservatively £550 to £650 GB pounds. As a manner of principle, we deliberately never adopt this approach on the basis that to do so is to separate items that have been together for decades and should rightly remain as a pair in the future.
For the package of this watch and its original hooded bracelet, the price is £1175 GB pounds. At this level, it has to be one of the most obvious bargains on this site. It is a rarer watch by far than any vintage Tudor Submariner, much more interesting than a standard manually wound Rolex Oyster from the 1970s and yet, is far less expensive than either. Neither the watch or its bracelet appear in any book or auction catalogue and without doubt, this is one of those items that none of us are ever likely to see again. Given this obscurity, it is ludicrously under-valued. All the Tudor Oysters have leapt up in worth in recent years, and we cannot imagine any possible change in the market that could prevent this item from being a lot more valuable in five years time than it is today.

New businesses find it increasingly hard to raise finance as banks set new stringent lending criteria and ratchet up interest rates. The latest statistics showing the number of administrations for the first quarter of 2008 up 54% and receiverships leaping to their highest level in five years will make banks more circumspect than ever.
Half of all businesses fail because of cash flow problems and as creditors tighten payment terms - many demanding cash upfront - it is vital to understand the various financial options available and make the right choices for your business.
This section looks at the types of finance available, how to write an impressive business plan, examines how to control cash flow and credit and looks at directors financial responsibilities in an increasingly uncertain business climate. There is also a section on factoring, explaining what it is and how it can work for you.


To me it means begin now with what you have and where you are right now, build or create what you want. Begin now with your thoughts and vision, and build onto them your emotional attachment in line with your beliefs and values.
All our decisions are emotionally based and that's why this step is important.
Sometimes we are afraid to start or we think it's not ready or something gets in the way to hold up this process. What if it does not work?
On the flip side… what if it does work… are you prepared for that?
Finding the reason or the purpose behind your choices is important too because once you get going on a project the momentum is sustained in line with your purpose if it's strong enough.
So how do you test that or discover what will carry you through the challenges.
My approach is to give my thought a rating of 1-10 with ten being highest priority… it's really important to me. Now one can tackle your challenges from the highest priorities, doing the important stuff first and then onto lessor important jobs or issues.
Having begun now on your quest or creation it is important to check in periodically to see if you are still on track. Is what you are doing moving you closer to your goals or outcome or is it getting in the way? Only you can decide this and choose to change course accordingly.
Celebrate your wins along the way, the milestones you have reached because they are your success points. Anchor them by returning frequently to reflect on your successes.
This point is a good time to check whether you continue on this path or change tack as you do when sailing to get to your destination. Yes the winds may change , however you have the rudder and you can change the sails to get more or less speed out of the prevailing conditions.
The important message is …it's still your choice and your destination. How you get there is your choice too.

On November 28, 2017, Robert Cappelletti received an award for furthering affordable housing from the Affordable Housing Committee of the CT Bankers Association!
Exciting news about a new building in downtown Meriden!
MHA partnered with Westmount Development Group to construct 24 Colony Street, a mixed-use 63-unit development in Downtown Meriden. This project was the first new development in the City's newly created Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District and the first collaboration between a local housing authority and the CT DOT with the express purpose of creating housing and parking adjacent to public transit.
This is a very exciting time for MHA endeavoring to develop new affordable housing throughout the City of Meriden through the use of mixed-financing by creating various public-private partnerships. Each day, MHA and the City of Meriden take another step toward creating a vibrant, transit-oriented downtown that enhances quality of life for residents of all income levels. MHA was awarded a $1m HUD Choice Neighborhood Grant in collaboration with the City of Meriden towards Downtown (TOD) Development.

In today's world, students are completely dependent on technology. It is not possible to imagine a day without technology. Students utilize technology for their studies, tutorials, social media, games and entertainment. Although learning through technology is helpful, it makes students over dependent on internet and removes good and essential habits like reading books. Most of the teenagers have latest smartphones and laptops. There should be a balance between usage of internet and performing other activities. Most of the outdoor activities or sports are getting subdued due to internet.
Technology has made it easier for students to learn. . To students studying foreign languages like me, the internet equips us with both technological and linguistic capacity while allowing us to remain up to date with our foreign counterparts. Students of this generation should consider themselves very lucky that they are getting materials to study so easily unlike the previous generations.
Most of the classrooms today use E-boards and laptops to teach the students. In a way, schools are encouraging students to use technology. Many schools provide individual tablets and laptops from which a student has to study. Thereby replacing textbooks and notebooks. Although it is easier to learn through videos and presentations, it replaces the essential practices like reading and writing. While the internet provides us with both good and bad aspects, if students overuse the cut-and-paste technique, they will stop absorbing information, which in the long term; will affect their ability to obtain knowledge.
Like most of the things, technology also has its fair share of pros and cons. It can be proved beneficial as well as extremely harmful. If a student uses internet for study or research purposes, it makes the job quite easy. While if the child uses it for continuous social media and other purposes, it can prove to be extremely distractive. As long as students use information they locate on the internet properly, technology will indeed remain a useful tool in study.While the internet provides us with both good and bad aspects, if students overuse the cut-and-paste technique, they will stop absorbing information, which in the long term, will affect their ability to obtain knowledge.
Too much dependent on technology has contributed to increased laziness among the teenagers. Many of them cannot perform assignment or carryout research without using Google to find information. Therefore, many teenagers do not have time to read and explore books into details because they believe that, with the Internet, everything is possible.The increased technology has solved communication problems, but it has affected personal interaction. This is because many teenagers rely on the Internet and social networking sites to communicate with their friends, but they cannot express themselves in front of others.It has also led to dangerous likelihood of cyber bullying and other associated consequences.
Most of the coaching classes teach students only through technology and gadgets. This makes a habit for students to use different gadgets on each and every step. Most of the concepts are taught through videos and by various kind of presentations. Systems like website attendance, internet portion, results on internet are introduced. Students get so involved with internet that they feel that they cannot study from books. They think that laptops and smartphones are a necessity. All the concepts taught in a coaching class are stored in a drive and are given to students to study from it. These develop habit of studying only through technology.
Parents and teachers should work together in order to help youths to cope up in the technology age. They should restrict teenagers from spending too much time on social networking sites and other technology devices. They can also educate them on the impact associated with too much dependent on technology. Motivate teenagers to improve their writing kills and learning skills. Also there should be limitations imposed on schools and coaching classes about teaching with latest technology and using different type of gadgets.

Q: I am trying to pluck the median from a json file using javascript Attempting to pull the mean value from the ages and handle a missing value in one of the ages.
var data={"users":[
{
"first_name":"Mikey",
"last_name":"Mouse",
"age": 24
},
{
"first_name":"Donald",
"lastName":"Duck",
"age": 29
},
{
"first_name":"Woody",
"lastName":"Woodpecker",
"age":
},
{
"first_name":"Bugs",
"lastName":"Bunny",
"age": 32
}
]}

A: With Ramda, you could do the following (no idea what libs you are using, you did not provide any code):
const ages = R.compose(R.map(R.propOr(0, 'age')), R.propOr([], 'users'))
const mean = R.converge(R.divide, [R.sum, R.length])
const meanAges = R.compose(mean, ages)

console.log(meanAges(data)) // 21.25

R.propOr(0, 'age') takes 0 as age, if no age is given.

const data={"users":[
{
"first_name":"Mikey",
"last_name":"Mouse",
"age": 24
},
{
"first_name":"Donald",
"lastName":"Duck",
"age": 29
},
{
"first_name":"Woody",
"lastName":"Woodpecker"
},
{
"first_name":"Bugs",
"lastName":"Bunny",
"age": 32
}
]}

const ages = R.compose(R.map(R.propOr(0, 'age')), R.propOr([], 'users'))
const mean = R.converge(R.divide, [R.sum, R.length])
const meanAges = R.compose(mean, ages)

console.log(meanAges(data))
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ramda/0.22.1/ramda.min.js"></script>

A: Remove people without a set age, then map to get ages only, then sort and return the medean:
function getMedeanAge(data) {
    let ages = data
        .filter(cartoon => cartoon.age !== undefined)
        .map(cartoon => cartoon.age)
        .sort((a,b) => a > b);

    var middleIndex = ages.length / 2;

    return ages[Math.floor(middleIndex)] + ages[Math.ceil(middleIndex) / 2;
}

A: You could use a single loop approach with Array#forEach by collecting all values in sum and the count of valid age. Then you can get the average by division of the sum of all ages by count.

var data = { users: [{ first_name: "Mikey", last_name: "Mouse", age: 24 }, { first_name: "Donald", lastName: "Duck", age: 29 }, { first_name: "Woody", lastName: "Woodpecker", age: null }, { first_name: "Bugs", lastName: "Bunny", age: 32 }] },
    sum = 0,
    count = 0,
    average;

data.users.forEach(function (user) {
    if (typeof user.age === 'number') {
        sum += user.age;
        ++count;
    }
});

average = sum / count;

console.log(average);

Trisha took to her social media pages and posted a picture with a dolphin in a swimming pool, but that didn't go down too well with few netizens. Many fans felt that dolphins need to be in an aquarium and not in a pool. Few also were quite critical of it and said that she doesn't deserve to be the ambassador for UNICEF, a title she was conferred recently.


A new partnership with the Association of German Engineers (VDI) Wissensforum will ensure that the Eurobike Academy is "taking technical knowledge transfer and professional exchange on the latest industry developments to the next level".
"We are delighted to welcome more engineers, technology experts and managers with the VDI Wissensforum information exchange at Lake Constance to give new momentum for light e-mobility and micromobility," said Stefan Reisinger, head of Eurobike, Messe Friedrichshafen and member of the board of directors.
The VDI Wissensforum GmbH has been a provider of further education and training for engineers, technical specialists and managers since 1957, offering over 2,150 seminars, conferences and workshops. Its training events are supported by the network of the VDI and its affiliates.
Every year this community meets to exchange knowledge and expertise at the VDI conference "Leichte E-Mobilität, Fahrzeuge für den urbanen Raum" (Light e-mobilty, vehicules for urban areas). Representatives from companies such as Bosch, Brose, Conti, KTM, Magura, Schaeffler and VW all sit on the conference's committee. The German Bike Industry Association (ZIV) is also a member of the expert council for the event.
Timo Taubitz, CEO VDI Wissensforum GmbH, said: "At VDI Wissensforum, we are already very closely connected to the automotive industry. Eurobike stands for the bike industry. It's important to promote professional exchange between these two sectors in order to harness synergies.
Eurobike 2019 will open to trade visitors for three business days from 4th to 6th September, followed by Festival Day on 7th September.

Durham Bulls 3, Norfolk Tides 1 (10 innings)
The Bulls won their fourth straight road game with a 3-1 extra innings win over the Tides. Both clubs dueled through six scoreless innings before the Tides reached the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. The Bulls answered with a run of their own in the top of the eighth to tie the game and force extra innings. The Bulls capitalized on an error in the tenth to put the go ahead run on base. It was Reid Brignac who drove home the winning run and scored the insurance run to give the Bulls a 3-1 win. Brignac finished the day 2 for 4 with an RBI and 2 runs scored. Jeff Salazar was also 2 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI's. Bryan Augenstein pitched 2 no-hit innings for the win.
Jackson Generals 4, Montgomery Biscuits 2
The Biscuits rallied in the ninth to put the tying run on the bases, but they couldn't get the runs across the plate as they fell to the Generals 4-2. The Biscuits found themselves trailing right out of the gate, giving up a run to the Generals in the first inning. The Biscuits battled back to tie the game 2-2 in the fifth inning. But they immediately surrendered the lead in the next inning. The Biscuits rallied in the ninth by loading the bases, but they failed to turn the baserunners into runs on the scoreboard as they suffered the loss. Omar Luna was a perfect 4 for 4 with 2 RBI's. Marquis Fleming suffered the loss.
St. Lucie Mets 2, Charlotte Stone Crabs 1
The Stone Crabs continue to struggle against the Mets, losing 2-1 in the series finale on Sunday. The Stone Crabs have yet to win a game against the Mets this season as they are now 0-9 against the division leading Mets. The Stone Crabs scored first in Sunday's game as Mikie Mahtook drove home Robby Price. They held the slim 1-0 lead until the bottom of the sixth when the Mets pushed across two runs. The Stone Crabs did not recover as they lost their ninth straight to the Mets. Steven Tinoco was 3 for 4 on the afternoon. MLB rehabber Brandon Allen was 2 for 4 with a double. Eliazer Suero was charged with a blown save and the loss.
Fort Wayne Tin Caps 3, Bowling Green Hot Rods 2
Despite taking an early lead, the Hot Rods could not hold on for a win against the Tin Caps on Sunday. The Hot Rods held a slim one run lead until the fifth when the Tin Caps tied the game. The game stayed tied until the Tin Caps pushed across two runs to take the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Hot Rods got a run back in the ninth but they fell a run short and suffered the loss. Jeff Malm was responsible for both Hot Rods runs, driving home Ryan Brett in the first and then striking a solo homer in the ninth. Brett had the only other extra base hit for the Hot Rods, a triple in the first. Charlie Cononie was charged with the loss.

The Hot Rods need a closer. Linsky should fill the role if he ever gets off the DL.
Doug May 28, 2012 at 2:20 PM
Wish they'd give Bellatti a shot, if he's not going to be a starter at least use him for the important outs. Or McEachern, who seems to be surviving BG this year. But they seem to want the older guys Hubbard and Cononie to finish games.

Yep, first professional pitch since 2008 with the Catfish. If you look at the top right at our twitter feed there is a link to the boxscore from his start last night. I followed along with the game, he didn't do badly except for a 3-run HR early on. Think he threw around 100 pitches.
Didn't catch what happened to Sale. Have not heard from him since being removed from the 5/21 game.

The Squamish Trails Society heard from Eric Andersen and Valleycliffe residents about their concerns and suggestions about trail connectivity from Valleycliffe to Downtown. This is an issue that has very much been on STS's radar for over 10 years.
The Valleycliffe group offer great suggestions that will soon hopefully lead to achieving an on-the-ground trail solution (or solutions).


Presidential historians will note this was the week the words "Trump," "prostitutes," and "urination" somehow found themselves used publicly in the same sentence.
While the implied acts in the sentence aren't verifiable, the words are, and they appear in the dossier U.S. intelligence chiefs presented and discussed with Trump last week.
That made the subject fair game to be reported broadly in the public interest. The less tasteful can get their salacious details elsewhere. But the basic reports aren't fake news, as it's important to the nation whether Russia had compromised the soon-to-be-leader of the free world.
It all troubles Rep. John Lewis of Georgia.
"I don't see Trump as a legitimate president," Lewis told NBC News.
The Russians may or may not have had something on Trump, But Lewis thinks Trump was Russia's preferred candidate.
As we enter into this Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, Lewis is a man whose words resonate.
Lewis was beaten up by state troopers when he marched from Selma to Montgomery–the nonviolent protest that led to passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965–and later went on to serve in Congress for 30 years.
In 2013, Lewis received AALDEF's Justice in Action Award.
The man's moral compass was shaped fighting for civil rights alongside Dr. King. You can trust his instincts.
This, incidentally, will be our last MLK weekend with the glorious bust of America's civil rights hero in the White House.
During his tenure, President Obama had the MLK bust replace that of Winston Churchill, which was moved to the private residence. Reportedly, the incoming president has told the British that Churchill shall make like MacArthur and return to the Oval Office.
Even before Churchill arrives, you'll feel the difference by next weekend, when our march will seem like it's heading backwards.
For Asian Americans, I always wonder where we are in terms of racial progress.
Every time I sense movement, there are always reminders, big and small, of what we're fighting against.
This week, a shout out goes to those hip hop arbiters of American culture, Desus and Mero, aka the Bodega Boys, who on their Viceland channel show pricked the daytime TV host Steve Harvey and his recent slam on Asian American men.
On his own program, Harvey showed the cover of a book, How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men.
You mean in the age-old universal denigration of the Asian male, society hasn't fully digested the Chow Yun Fat/Jet Li memo yet?
Desus and Mero then skewered the talk show host's publicity shot, with Harvey in a bare-chested Putin pose sans horse. "Looks like a glazed ham," said Mero.
It's not exactly justice, but it was brothers taking down a brother.
My two words for Steve Harvey: Miss Colombia.
And don't think Asian American women these days are doing much better. Consider Doris Truong, a past president of the Asian American Journalists Association and a home page editor for the Washington Post.
And there was Miss Anonymous! An Asian face! It was not, however, as many conservatives tweeted, my friend Doris.
Since no one remembers The Andy Griffith Show, conservatives did the next best thing: They tweeted out this injustice!
And it made sense: Truong, a member of that liberal news cabal, the Washington Post, was somehow caught red-handed, as if some Chinese spy.
But it wasn't Truong. Just wrong.
Truong called them out as fake news.
Unfortunately, that's the kind of thing Asian Americans are too often subject to. Man or woman. We're foreigners. We're spies. We're people's worst stereotype. We're what's wrong with the picture.
More galling is how even when we're legitimately part of the news, we're left out of the coverage.
I watched the Tillerson hearings all day Wednesday but saw no coverage of Elaine Chao's three-hour confirmation hearing for Secretary of Transportation in the electronic media until I saw a bit in the New York Times the next day.
Chao's the successful Asian American female stereotype, a former Bush cabinet member, who's also married to Senator Mitch McConnell.
So no controversy, no news? Rubber stamp the model minority!
Is that really better for a woman who will be in charge of Trump's potential infrastructure overhaul that could cost $1 trillion?
On the channel I watched, that anonymous Asian woman sitting behind Tillerson had more face time than Chao.
The little slights we may have to deal with on our own.
But who will be there to help us when discrimination rears its head in issues like voter suppression?
A decent attorney general would. But Sen. Jeff Sessions isn't it.
When the Voting Rights Act was gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013, Sessions cheered. He's one of the major perpetrators of the myth of voter fraud. Does it happen? Does four cases of voter fraud out of 135 million votes in 2016 sound like it?
Judging by what he's done in his home state of Alabama, he'd only make it harder to vote, requiring obstacles to the ballot like cumbersome and unnecessary voter ID laws.
Would he help Asian Americans? Forget his parading around an Asian American granddaughter. The answer, based on his record, is no.
Already, Judiciary Committee member Sen. Mazie Hirono has said she won't vote for him.
Sessions may yet make it out to a full Senate vote, but it won't be until after Jan. 20.
But it was once again Rep. John Lewis whose voice seemed to carry the moral weight against Sessions.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. couldn't have said it better.

Екзегеза (, "извеждам") е критическо обяснение или интерпретация на текст, обикновено с религиозен характер. Според Православен речник това е дял от богословието, тълкуване на Свещеното Писание, а екзегет е тълкувател на съдържанието на библейските книги.

Традиционно понятието се използва главно по отношение на Библията, но в наши дни за тази цел се използва термина "библейска екзегеза" в отличие от по-широкото значение. Екзегезата обхваща широк кръг критически дисциплини – текстологията включва изследванията на историята и произхода на текстовете, но към екзегезата се отнасят също историческата и културна среда на автора, текста и очакваната публика. Други анализи са класификацията на литературните жанрове, представени в текста, и анализа на граматичните и синтактични особености на самия текст.

The train operator made the announcement on Monday, January 3
TransPennine Express has announced it will scrap 17 services from Liverpool to the North East and Edinburgh after Christmas delays.
Train passengers face weeks of disruption because of mass cancellations on the Liverpool to Edinburgh route as services will be temporarily stopped.
The move comes after the roll-out of a new fleet of trains is taking longer than expected, Chronicle Live reports.
This means 17 of the operator's services that call at Liverpool, Manchester, York, Leeds, Darlington, Durham and Newcastle will be out of action until January 24.

TransPennine Express also blamed a maintenance backlog and infrastructure issues for causing a delay in staff training.

Leo Goodwin, the operator's managing director, apologised to commuters and said the firm was "working hard" to get back on track.
He said: "I am truly sorry for the continued disruption to journeys this week. I know what a busy time it is juggling work and visiting loved ones during the holiday period.

"As we bring in our new trains it has had an associated impact upon our training schedule and our train maintenance plan which is having a knock-on effect to our services. Our current performance is not acceptable and we are working hard to fix this."

Join Marella Cruises' Marella Celebration for a magnificent all-inclusive cruise of the Adriatic combined with a three-night stay in the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik.
After your flight into Dubrovnik and embarkation, initial ports of call will include the Croatian gem of Hvar, Italy's scenic Ancona and historic Koper of Slovenia. Marella Celebration will then stop at Venice. Potentially the highlight for many passengers, the City of Canals is unlikely to disappoint as you glide through the romantic thoroughfares aboard a gondola. Your return to Croatia will take you to the charming towns of Rijeka and split before you disembark the ship to stay three nights in the Croatian coastal wonder of Dubrovnik. Known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls, its well-preserved buildings range from baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza Palace and Gothic Rectors Palace, all well worth visiting during your leisurely stay.
Wake up in the most beautiful city on the Croatian coast. Lively yet full of history, this World Heritage Site is full of fasination but very easy to get around Woalking around Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the past. Its ancient city walls surround countless buildings that have been perfectly perserved and are easy to find, thanks to the grid-like street system. Look out in particular for the Onofrio Fountain and the nearby Franciscan Monastery with the third oldest pharmacy in Europe. And don't miss the old medieval Sponza Palance, St Blaises Church and the Cathedral.
With 117 islands, 150 canals and more than 400 bridges, it's time to swap your cruise ship for a gondola and embark on an affair to remember in one of the world's most romantic cities.
Set along a wide horseshoe-shaped bay, Koper's a Medieval town where old and new go hand-in-hand. Lose yourself in the maze of streets, passing historical sights and browsing chic shops along the way.
The second biggest town in Croatia is the first choice for a superb day exploring - or a day shopping in the open air markets. On the coast in the south of the country, Split is old and beautiful, welcoming and varied. While beautiful lush green forest surrounds Split itself, facing the harbour is anothersight not to be missed - the fortress palace of Diocletian, built in 305AD.

Callahan / Nassau County, Florida
Nassau County is directly north of Duval County - Jacksonville, Florida. Although close to Jacksonville, much of Nassau County is rural with farms, pine plantations and preservation lands. Fernandina Beach, located on Amelia Island, is a quaint tourist destination with many historic buildings, restaurants and shops. Amelia Island's tourist destinations include the Amelia Island Plantation, the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Fort Clinch State Park, beautiful beaches and many golf courses. The 2010 census recorded just over 73,000 residents in Nassau County.
Nassau County's towns include Callahan, Fernandina Beach, Hilliard, Bryceville, and Yulee. The County seat is in Yulee, Florida, where Nassau County's new courthouse complex is located. Nassau County still uses its historic courthouse in Fernandina Beach which was built in 1891. Nassau County is in Florida's Fourteenth Judicial Circuit, which also includes Duval and Clay Counties.
There are two circuit court judges in Nassau County – the Honorable Robert Foster and the Honorable Adrian Soud. Previously, the Honorable Brian Davis presided over circuit civil matters in Nassau County; however, he has since been appointed as a Federal District Court Judge.
Personal injury cases in Nassau County usually result from car and trucking accidents. Because of the paper mills located on Amelia Island, there are a large number of pulpwood trucks travelling through the area. In addition, with its population increase over the last 20 years, traffic has become more congested.
There are special areas of concern for car accidents in the county, most particularly State Road 121 which parallels the western border of the county. Auto and truck accidents along this stretch of highway are unfortunately both common and often serious. On our blog, you will see multiple references to our concerns with this roadway in particular. A lot of car crashes occur on State Road 200 which carries a lot of traffic and is the main east west thoroughfare through the county. Highway 17 and Interstate 95 are the main routes travelling north and south and both have their share of vehicle accidents as well.
Our firm has handled numerous car accident cases in Nassau County including accidents that occurred on State Road 200 (also known as A1A); Interstate 95; Sadler Road; U.S. Highway 301; State Road 121; and South 14th Street.
Due in part to the amount of tourism, there are a lot of retail stores and restaurants in the eastern part of the county. This can give rise to injury claims including slip and falls, stairway accidents and injuries caused by foreign objects in food.
As much of the workforce is employed in physical labor, there are also a significant amount of workers' compensation claims for Nassau County residents. Workplace accidents that we have handled in Nassau County include auto accidents, bus accidents, construction accidents, forklift accidents, falls, staircase accidents, and building code violations, to name a few.
Our firm's founding partner, Greg Lawrence, lived in Yulee and worked at the Amelia Island Plantation just prior to entering law school.

I have known Mr. Lawrence for several years and in my opinion he is the most professional and trustworthy lawyer I have ever known. I have had dealings with other lawyers but they were not as good as Mr. Lawrence. I would highly recommend him. Carla
I was referred to Greg by a coworker after I received a bad injury from an auto accident and was so pleased with Greg, Amanda, and staff. They literally took care of everything for me while I was healing and kept me updated every step of the way. Calls and emails were always accepted and returned promptly and they were extremely patient and helpful with any questions and concerns that I had. Should I ever need legal assistance again I will definitely be calling him and referring him to family and friends. Amie M.
I had a difficult disability case, and was referred to Greg by a judge. As an experienced lawyer myself, I was apprehensive about using someone I didn't know. As it turned out, however, I could not have been more pleased. Greg mastered the case in no time, and was nothing short of brilliant in getting me a substantial settlement. He's a lawyer's lawyer, and I recommend him highly and without reservation. Steve
I would like to take a moment to say thanks to Greg, and his staff for doing an excellent job with my deceased mothers nursing home case. After hiring two other law firms my brothers and I decided to hire Greg. This was the best decision that we made regarding this case. Greg took the time to get to know who our deceased mother was, and the important facts involving our claim. As a result Greg was successful in resolving our claim to our satisfaction. Greg is the best attorney that I have ever met! I would highly recommend hiring Greg for any nursing home, or any other claims. Falsario Arnold
Of all the things that pleased me about Greg was that he was always available to me. If I called or emailed, I spoke to him and wasn't pushed off to one of his paralegals or assistants (although they were very helpful as well). I felt like I had a lawyer - not a factory. Scott

Two days ago, I saw an interesting thing from Low Yat Plaza, 2nd floor and it just costs RM9. So, I brought it. It is a battery tester. When I reached home, I started to test it out and it works. It works for AA, AAA and 9V batteries.
This battery tester is really useful because many of my old batteries which I thought low battery level are actually not until I tested them out. So, don't straight away throw all your old batteries. Get one battery tester to test them out. They might still have good level of battery in them.

Q: Rejoin specific splitted strings in a list PYTHON I have a listing containing values with measurement unit and i want to remove them, the original list is mentioned below:
['Dawn:', 'Sunrise:', 'Moonrise:', 'Dusk:', 'Sunset:\xa0', 'Moonset:', 'Daylight:', 'Length:', 'Phase:', 'Temperature', 'Dew\xa0Point ', 'Windchill', 'Humidity', 'Heat Index', 'Apparent Temperature', 'Solar Radiation', 'Evapotranspiration Today', 'Rainfall\xa0Today', 'Rainfall\xa0Rate', 'Rainfall\xa0This\xa0Month', 'Rainfall\xa0This\xa0Year', 'Rainfall\xa0Last Hour', 'Last rainfall', 'Wind\xa0Speed\xa0(gust)', 'Wind\xa0Speed\xa0(avg)', 'Wind Bearing', 'Beaufort\xa0F1', 'Barometer\xa0', 'Rising slowly']
['07:30', '08:04', '17:03', '19:05', '18:31', '01:45', '11:35', '10:27', 'Waxing Gibbous', '13.7\xa0°C', '11.4\xa0°C', '13.7\xa0°C', '86%', '13.7\xa0°C', '13.0\xa0°C', '0\xa0W/m²', '0.15\xa0mm', '0.0\xa0mm', '0.0\xa0mm/hr', '36.4\xa0mm', '36.4\xa0mm', '0.0\xa0mm', '2018-10-14 08:52', '6.1\xa0kts', '2.6\xa0kts', '229° SW', 'Light air', '1026.89\xa0mb', '0.27\xa0mb/hr']

To remove measurement units like degrees, kts, mb etc. i follow the below approach:
    newlist = [word for line in test for word in line.split()]
    #print(newlist)
    testlist = ['°C', 'W/m²', 'mm','mm/hr', 'mb','kts', 'mb/hr', '%']
    t = [x for x in newlist for d in testlist if d in x]

    s = [r for r in newlist if r not in testlist]

After this code, i am able to remove all units, but then values which are strings and are separated by spaces like Waxing Gibbous becomes comma separated. is there possible i join them back with spaces?
Result of code:
['Dawn:', 'Sunrise:', 'Moonrise:', 'Dusk:', 'Sunset:\xa0', 'Moonset:', 'Daylight:', 'Length:', 'Phase:', 'Temperature', 'Dew\xa0Point ', 'Windchill', 'Humidity', 'Heat Index', 'Apparent Temperature', 'Solar Radiation', 'Evapotranspiration Today', 'Rainfall\xa0Today', 'Rainfall\xa0Rate', 'Rainfall\xa0This\xa0Month', 'Rainfall\xa0This\xa0Year', 'Rainfall\xa0Last Hour', 'Last rainfall', 'Wind\xa0Speed\xa0(gust)', 'Wind\xa0Speed\xa0(avg)', 'Wind Bearing', 'Beaufort\xa0F1', 'Barometer\xa0', 'Rising slowly']
['07:30', '08:04', '17:03', '19:05', '18:31', '01:45', '11:35', '10:27', 'Waxing', 'Gibbous', '13.7', '11.4', '13.7', '86%', '13.7', '13.0', '0', '0.15', '0.0', '0.0', '36.4', '36.4', '0.0', '2018-10-14', '08:52', '5.2', '2.4', '188°', 'S', 'Light', 'air', '1026.21', '0.23']

Main source code from where data is being fetched:
Data origin source code
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

A: So your source data identified earlier is from a dict called grouped (think if you could put that back in and show an example that be great)
From group you want to get all the keys as headers and values as values but replacing all the symbols you do not need.
The code below does that for you starting from your grouped dict and stores your header and value into 2 seperate list:
headers = []
values = []
testlist = ['°C', 'W/m²', 'mm','mm/hr', 'mb','kts', 'mb/hr']

for i in a[0]:
    for k,v in i.items():
        headers.append(k)
        values.append(v)

for idx,v in enumerate(values):
    for t in testlist:
        values[idx] = values[idx].replace(t,'')

for h,v in zip(headers,values):
    print('Header: {} , Value : {}'.format(h,v))

It definitely is helpful in the future if you outline where your source data begins and then your expected output.
