Congratulations to all on a successful season opener at Navy Day!
Emily and Nicole finished well ahead of the field, capturing the Gold in the Junior Women's 2x event. Close behind were Selena and Cassidy missing second place by mere seconds to finish third in the competitive field. Maddie and Lauren launched from Boathouse Row and rowed a solid race, finishing 6th out of the 16 boat field. All boats rowed exceptional pieces, carrying on the strong HT tradition in this event at Navy Day.
Sara finished in the middle of the pack in the Woman's 1x event, despite being brought to a complete stop by an inexperienced competitor. Sara's time was impressive, even with the minute penalty she was unfortunately assigned for her competitor's mistake. Good work Sara, not only on your race, but on maintaining a positive attitude despite the frustrating circumstances.
Nick was the only HT athlete to row in two consecutive races yesterday. He competed in the Jr. Men's 1x finishing 5th out of a field of 17. Nick then hopped into the Men's 4x to help Tyler, Keaton, and Dan to a successful finish. Good work too all!
Alex, Jim, Eric, and Alec finished an impressive 6th out of 18 entries in the Jr. Men's 4x event. The guys finish is indicative of the intensity and aggression they have shown at each practice this Fall. The Varsity guys are hungry this year, and we expect to see more good results in the months to come!
The biggest honors of the weekend go to the novice rowers. Not only did they exceed all expectations in results, they kept calm and focused in very intimidating circumstances.
As some of you many know, there are not novice events at the Navy Day regatta. We felt that our novices were ready to compete and so registered them in the same events as our Varsity and JV athletes. A few highlights are below.
Rachel navigated the course solo, competing in the Jr. Women's 1x event. Rowing 4k on unfamiliar water is no small feat, let alone doing so under stressful race day conditions. Rachel did beautifully, keeping a great course and finishing with a smile on her face. Good Work Rachel!
Gia and Angela followed suit, competing in the Woman's 2x event that their team mates championed. Gia and Angela were cool and calm from the start. They rowed a perfect course and finished 12th of 16 in a varsity event. All three novice girls show strong promise in continuing the solid HT Women's reputation.
Similarly the novice boys put together a solid race in the Jr. Men's 4x event. Under JV rower Noah's leadership Joe, Kevin, and Brian successfully completed the race with a respectable time.
To race for the first time against experienced competition, on a new river is certainly a challenge. The Fall 2012 Novices did so with ease. We look forward to seeing how the stack up against other Novice athletes later on in the season.
Of course a special thanks is owed to the Parents and Families for braving the cold to cheer on our athletes. Your support and enthusiasm is essential to making race day a success.

Q: Building an AJAX driven website using Codeigniter So my question is around a complete AJAX driven website with a powerful / normal Codeigniter backend.
What I want to do is when a user comes to:
http://domain.com/#/controller/function
The main view is rendered based on the value after the #. I want to route my request based on the value after the # symbol and pretend in Codeigniter that everything is normal, do the processing that it would do and then send the output as a "response" to the AJAX request.
How would one go about making this happen? Any suggestions? Ideas on how to architect the application?

A: I like Sammy for this: "Sammy is a tiny javascript framework built on top of jQuery. It's RESTful Evented JavaScript."
Example from the website:
$.sammy(function() {

DESTIN — The arrest of prominent local businessman Damon Becnel on charges he physically abused his daughter and tortured a family pet in front of her has created community backlash and re-ignited a nasty 15-year-old custody battle.
RELATED: Destin man accused of abusing child, dog
Becnel, who the Florida Division of Corporations lists as a managing partner of 26 businesses — among them president of Sandestin Police Department Inc. — was charged Jan. 2 with child cruelty and cruelty to animals.
The daughter, a 14-year-old, reported the abuse and provided police with video that appears to depict, graphically, a knife wielding Becnel abusing the girl and the animal.
The video shows the victim and two dogs in a bedroom. Becnel can be seen pulling out a knife and threatening one of the dogs while yelling, "I will cut this (expletives deleted) dog's eyeballs out, I'll (expletive deleted) do it," the arrest report said.
Becnel later could be seen striking the dog and grabbing it by the throat and throwing it to the floor while the child yells at him to stop. The arrest report said he grabbed his daughter by the hair and pushed her head toward the bed, where it struck the bed frame.
The report said Becnel later re-engaged the victim and struck her in the head, causing her to bounce off a wall.
The video sparked the creation of a Facebook page called "Justice For Daughter Of Damon Becnel & Her Pets." Thus far, more than 6,000 people have followed the page.
Following the arrest, Allison Tringas, the mother of Becnel's daughter, filed a Petition for Injunction Against Domestic Violence on behalf of the girl.
The petition claims Becnel was intoxicated when he assaulted the teen and the dog and at one point during the confrontation, when she was pinned against a closet door, she "asked Damon if he was going to kill her, to which he replied 'maybe.' "
It states Becnel prevented the girl from leaving the home and took away her cell phone.
"(She) escaped Damon's house while he was asleep and walked miles to Walmart in Destin, purchased a burner phone and called her babysitter," the petition states.
The petition accuses Becnel of continuing to harass his daughter, and having a lawyer call her to warn her "not to say anything about this event because she will end up in foster care."
The petition claims Becnel has a criminal history, has committed or threatened acts of domestic violence in the past, owns more than 20 guns, has drug and alcohol problems and a history of mental health issues.
On Monday, three days before a scheduled Thursday hearing on the injunction petition, Becnel's attorney filed an "Urgent Motion for Continuance for Hearings Set for Jan. 16."
It claims the petition filed by Tringas "contains outright fabrications and will be opposed separately and on the merits or lack thereof."
It calls for the hearing to be continued so that the child can retain her own lawyer. It claims Tringas "is the last person who should be representing the child and definitely does not have the child's best interests in mind."
The call for continuance goes into detail about Tringas's own history of substance abuse and mental illness and notes that a 2013 court judgment imposed parental time-sharing restrictions on Tringas.
Becnel and Tringas, who is also a member of a prominent Okaloosa County family, filed for divorce in February of 2005. Their last court battle, Clerk of Court records show, was in 2016. That case has once again been re-opened, court records show.
The Thursday hearing on the petition for a protective order has been canceled. The case has passed through the hands of five Okaloosa Circuit Court judges since Tringas filed her motion for a protective order Jan. 2.
Judges Terry Ketchel and Mary Polson recused themselves from the case Monday and Judge Michael Flowers and Judge William Stone recused themselves Tuesday.
Presently Judge John J. Gontarek is scheduled to hear the case.
Becnel is scheduled to be tried March 9 on the felony charge of child abuse and misdemeanor charge of cruelty to animals. Gontarek is also the judge slated to hear that case.

One Australian family is embarking on a novel way of exiting their business, unveiling a raffle where the winner takes home the keys to their business, adjoining home and land as well as start-up cash.
Natalie Giumelli operates Yapper Valley Pet Resort (pictured) on the outskirts of the north Queensland city of Townsville.
But she and her family plan to exit the business to pursue a "niche farming venture" which they have been testing separately.
In a bid to do so, Ms Giumelli (pictured below) has launched a competition to find new owners for the business and adjoining family home.
The competition, dubbed "Win a pet lovers dream", has a prize package that includes the pet boarding business — including individual airconditioned cabins for dogs — as well as the four-bedroom, two-bathroom family home on 110 acres adjoining the business.
The lucky winner will also receive $30,000 in cash to help cover transition and upfront operating costs.
According to the competition's website, the total prize has been appraised at $1.52 million.
"This competition will give someone the opportunity to have a lifestyle package that they may not be able to achieve through conventional channels. This gives someone who has the passion and drive, the opportunity to thrive in their very own business, when they may not have the financial means to do so otherwise," Ms Giumelli said, admitting that she regretted the decision to launch it on the same day as April Fools' Day.
The competition will not leave Ms Giumelli and her family empty-handed, however.
Under the terms of the competition, entrants must purchase and a digital image for $55 to go into the draw, and with a minimum of 40,000 tickets to be sold before the draw is made — equating to a return of at least $2.2 million.
This discrepancy with the $1.52 million prize value, Ms Giumelli said, is to cover relevant taxes, costs and transfer fees so as to allow the winner "to come into the business on a fresh slate".
If ticket sales fall short of the 40,000 mark, the winner will take home half of the money raised.
"We started with the total cost needed to cover all our costs and divided it by a reasonable amount so it was accessible for all," she said of how they determined the value and number of tickets to sell to make the competition work.
Why exit the business in such a fashion?
The novel approach to exiting the business was devised by the family as a means of overcoming tight lending criteria, Ms Giumelli told My Business.
"We decided to exit the business this way as we realised that people have great difficulty obtaining finance on a property especially business loans," she said.
Ms Giumelli said that the property and business were "briefly" listed on the market for a traditional sale, but they "soon realised how difficult it would be for everyday people to obtain a loan with the capital required".
She said that the business is currently fully operated by its one part-time and three full-time employees who, she added, "are all buying photos and are very excited" by the novel approach.
The competition runs for 12 weeks from 1 April 2019 and will be drawn on 22 June 2019.

1879(Jan.21–23)The Battle of Isandlwana/Rorke's Drift. For many, the six-month Zulu War, prompted by the invasion of King Cetshwayo's independent kingdom by British colonial forces under Lord Chelmsford, is viewed through the prism of the 1964 movie Zulu, which portrayed, with considerable artistic licence, the epic defence of a mission station—named after Irishman James Rorke, who had a trading store there— by c. 100 British troops (including a dozen or so Irishmen) against c. 3,000 Zulus. Thanks to Chelmsford, this strategically insignificant engagement was widely publicised. The bravery and self-sacrifice of the plucky Brits was applauded—no mention was made, of course, of their execution of c. 500 Zulu prisoners—and no less than eleven VCs were awarded (in contrast with one VC each for the 1944 D-Day landings and the entire Battle of Britain). All of this was designed by Chelmsford to distract British public attention from what had preceded it: the crushing defeat of his army at Isandlwana, with the loss of over 1,300 of his men, including many Irishmen, by the main c. 20,000-strong Zulu army, armed with spears and shields. While British gallantry was duly extolled (such as the heroic last stand of County Leitrim's Col. Anthony Durnford and the valiant but fatal effort by Dubliner Lt. Nevill Coghill to retrieve his regiment's colours), her historians are still trying to explain the defeat. Causes include the lack of screwdrivers to loosen the screws on the ammunition boxes. From a Zulu perspective, Isandlwana was a glorious victory—but a pyrrhic one. Cetshwayo knew that the British would regroup and re-invade, which they did. Superior numbers and technology prevailed, and by July, after six more battles, Zululand was entirely subjugated.

Deputy Cruz Rocha makes the round of the 10 cells of the suicide prevention unit of the Bexar County Jail in 2010. A new state task force will look at betters ways of treating the mentally ill.
Four San Antonio judges will be serving on the newly created Judicial Commission on Mental Health.
This type of representation can't help but benefit this community — and the state.
The commission, created through a joint order of the Supreme Court of Texas and Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, will be taking a long overdue look at the problems facing the criminal justice system due to the lack of services for those dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse.
San Antonio appointees to the 31-member commission include 226th District Judge Sid Harle, who is also the administrative judge for the 4th Judicial Region; retired probate court judge Polly Jackson Spencer; and Ernie Glenn, drug court magistrate.
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Barbara Hervey of San Antonio is co-chair of the commission, along with Supreme Court Justice Jeff Brown.
State officials' decadeslong failure to adequately address the needs of people with mental health and drug abuse issues has resulted in billions of tax dollars spent each year on unnecessary emergency room visits and incarceration.
Across the state, some communities — such as Bexar County — have been successful in developing individual stopgap measures to slow the revolving door into the jail that many mentally ill and substance abuse patients pass through.
However, the lack of a uniform state policy and protocol for such cases is creating major headaches for an increasingly frustrated judiciary.
Every day, they face limited options on where to send defendants who would be best served by medical treatment rather than incarceration.
We must stop this revolving door through the criminal justice system for an underserved population. Simply, it is promoting unequal justice.
According to the Texas Judicial Council's 2016 Mental Health Committee Report, about 1 million adults among the 27 million people in Texas experience serious mental illness. In addition, about 500,00 children younger than 17 have a severe emotional disturbance.
Substance abuse numbers are equally alarming. An estimated 1.6 million adult Texans and 181,000 children ages 12 to 17 have substance abuse disorders.
This is not a new problem that Texas is facing. It has been festering for decades, but no one has tried to tackle it head-on. Instead, there have been piecemeal efforts and workaround plans, none of them very successful.
It is encouraging to see this important issue finally taking on a higher profile with state leaders.

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss memory the most."
This book is designed to help people cope with memory loss through diet.
Packed with over 200 delicious recipes ranging from appetizers to main courses, from soups, to fish, to desserts. The recipes have been developed by well-respected Canadian cookbook author Norene Gilletz, each of which receives a solid commentary from Dr Edward Wein, Brain Boosting Diet provides both health and nutritional advice for people with memory loss.
Another important purpose of the book is to show the reader how to slow down potential cognitive decline.
LEARN how diet fits with other lifestyle measures to stave off memory loss and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia.
BECOME AWARE of the 3 deadly dietary sins that put your body and brain at risk:
Too much food,
Too much sugar and carbohydrates, and
Too much processed foods.
IDENTIFY foods that help prevent cognitive decline and those that accelerate it.
CHOOSE a brain beneficial diet plan based on your personal preference. Plant Based. Med Diet. MIND Diet. BBD (Brain Boosting Diet).
DISCOVER how to maximize the brain benefit of your chosen diet plan by selective food combinations and preparation. An approach not previously published.
UNDERSTAND the role of supplements in a brain-healthy diet and choose those that are worth taking.
FIND tidbits of interesting information interspersed throughout the text as well as "Dr. Ed Says" notes on the brain nutrition value of each of the recipes, like:
Our human hunter gatherer ancestors of 10,000 years ago had better nutrition than our farming ancestors until a couple of hundred years ago. This was because the former ate a variety of foods they could find, rather than trying to exist on one or a few farmed crops which offered limited nutrition.
Of the thousands of substances involved in human metabolism, about 50 need to be supplied by diet. The other compounds can be supplied by the metabolic processes of the body.
"If we don't use food as our medicine, we will use medicine as our food."

PANAKÈS PARTNERS ANNOUNCES THE FIRST CLOSING OF ITS NEW "PURPLE" GLOBAL BIOTECH/ MEDTECH
Milan, Italy - July 20, 2021
PANAKÈS PARTNERS ANNOUNCES THE FIRST CLOSING OF ITS NEW "PURPLE" GLOBAL
BIOTECH/ MEDTECH FUND AT €150 MILLION ($180 MILLION)
• Panakès will use the successful closing of its second Fund to extend its investment activity to
biotech, while maintaining its ongoing activity in medtech, the focus of Panakès first fund
• Panakès plans to invest the new fund in companies at the forefront of global innovation with
the potential to transform patient care, with a focus on Europe, and Italy in particular
• Panakès' Purple Fund has been backed by the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Fund of
Funds managed by CDP Venture Capital SGR, financial institutions and some of the main Italian
companies operating in the Life Sciences sector
Milan, July 20, 2021 - Panakès Partners, the leading Italian venture capital firm in the Life Sciences sector,
announces the first closing of its €150 million ($180 million) Purple Fund, the firm's second fund.
Panakès' Purple Fund is currently the largest venture capital fund actively investing in Italian companies and
the most significant fund dedicated wholly to the Life Sciences sector in Italy. The fund will invest in
companies at the forefront of innovation, with a focus on Europe, and Italy in particular, which remains
underserved in terms of Venture Capital funding.
The Purple Fund is the second venture capital fund dedicated to life sciences launched by Panakès Partners.
Panakès' first fund, raised in 2016, supported companies in the medtech sector. To-date it has invested in 12
portfolio companies, which have collectively received almost €200 million in funding. Thanks to this financial
support, these companies have already brought five innovative medical products to the market and have a
further ten products in active clinical trials.
The Purple Fund has been backed by investors from the first fund as well as new investors. The Fund's two
anchor investors are EIF and the Fund of Funds FoF VenturItaly managed by CDP Venture Capital SGR. The
EIF investment is backed under both the InnovFin Equity initiative from the European Commission under
Horizon 2020, the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, as well as the pan-European
Guarantee Fund (EGF).
These anchor investors have been joined by several Italian banking foundations and pension funds, as well
as numerous Italian companies and family offices in the Life Sciences sector. These include Menarini, the
Cogliati family (Elemaster Group), the Colombo family (SAPIO Group), the Rovati family (Rottapharm
Biotech), the Petrone family (Petrone Group), the Re family (Digitec Group), the Bassani family (Movi Group)
and others.
The Purple Fund will invest mainly in Series A funding rounds, as well as later stage opportunities. The
majority of investments will be in companies developing innovative therapeutics and products in the fields
of biotechnology, diagnostics, and medical devices.
The fund aims to support the growth of entrepreneurial companies who will reshape healthcare globally by
addressing real medical needs, saving lives and providing a better quality of life for patients. By achieving
these goals, the fund aims to generate value for both investors and for society as a whole.
"We are delighted with the successful first close of our new Purple Fund, and we would like to thank the highquality
investors who have trusted us. Over 500 innovative life science companies have already submitted
funding requests to us in the first six months of 2021," said Fabrizio Landi, President of Panakès and a
founding partner of the firm alongside Diana Saraceni and Alessio Beverina. "The fund will remain open for
additional subscribers until the end of the year, with a new target of €180 million. By expanding into the
biotech sector, we hope to contribute to the growth of companies active in the development of new therapies
and vaccines," concluded Landi.
"Panakès has established a strong track record and solid international credibility since it was created a few
years ago, also with the support of the CDP Group." commented Enrico Resmini, Chief Executive Officer of
CDP Venture Capital SGR. "We are delighted to invest in Panakès' second fund, as it extends its activity into
biotechnology, a sector where long-term planning and the availability of capital is essential to finance the
R&D that is expected to lead to the innovative new therapies of tomorrow."
Alain Godard, Chief Executive of the European Investment Fund (EIF/FEI), added: "We are happy to once
again support Panakès after our previous investment in its first fund. Panakès has managed to build a strong
brand in Italy and beyond thanks to its expertise in identifying and investing in novel medtech opportunities.
With the extension of its investment strategy into biotech and the resulting growth of the team, Panakès will
be able to further support European Life Sciences companies, and particularly those in Italy, which have
exceptional R&D but are strongly underserved in terms of Venture Capital funding. We are glad to be able to
use both the InnovFin mandate from the European Commission and the direct backing of EU Member States
under the European Guarantee Fund to further support this exciting market segment."
To support its expansion into the biotech sector, Panakès intends to recruit three new professionals with
significant experience in drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry to its existing team,
which is currently made up of 11 professionals. Recently Barbara Castellano has been promoted to the role
of Partner, while the management team of the SGR has been strengthened with the arrival of a new CFO,
Lorenzo Giordano, and a Financial Assistant, in the person of Andrea Steffanini.
Panakès Advisory Board has also been expanded and strengthened with the appointment of Biotech and
Digital Health industry experts Fabio Pammolli, Professor of Economics, Finance, and Management Science
at Politecnico di Milano, and Sergio Abrignani M.D. Ph.D. Full Professor at the National Institute of Molecular
Genetics (INGM) in Milan.

The rate at which technology has advanced over the last few decades is nothing short of staggering, and the world of healthcare and medicine is no exception.
However, throughout the constant changes, one thing remains the same – there will always be some controversy and pushback against most new developments, particularly where birth and fertility are concerned.
Most people are familiar with the concept of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) – the process in which an egg is fertilized with sperm outside the body. It's fairly commonplace these days, but one particular case recently caused a great deal of controversy, due to the fact that the baby was conceived of three different people.
On Tuesday in Greece, a healthy baby boy was delivered by a 32-year-old woman who has a history of IVF failures. The experimental procedure involved using the mother's DNA, sperm from the father and an egg from a donor woman.
This method is apparently used to help women with "fertility issues associated with multiple in vitro fertilization failures caused by cytoplasmic dysfunction of the oocytes or rare mitochondrial genetic diseases," the organization said.
In other words, this kind of technique is used quite rarely, and this is the first time that three separate people have been involved in the conception of a baby.
The technique has been a long time in the making – in fact, it's taken a total of five years of research, followed by two and a half years of clinical work.
"A woman's inalienable right to become a mother with her own genetic material became a reality," he said in a press release, People notes.

In a major boost for local shoppers and traders, Mayor Dave Hodgson's Cabinet has resolved that all car park charges will be frozen for 2019, with the wide array of free parking options for Bedford Town Centre maintained and even extended.
The freeze cuts the real cost of parking for a second successive year, delivering a pre-Christmas boost for local traders and shoppers alike. The freeze applies to all charges, covering both on street parking and Council car parks.
The move maintains the Mayor's Free Parking Deal and the wide range of free parking options it offers at Council Car Parks in Bedford Town Centre.
This includes the flagship offer of 2 hours free parking on Saturdays in town centre car parks. Since it was introduced the offer has coincided with four successive years of footfall growth for Bedford, in sharp contrast to national trends and the crisis faced by UK high streets.
"There are free parking options available every day in Bedford town centre. With these free parking offers and another freeze we want to give people every reason to visit and enjoy Bedford town centre and its excellent shops and services."
In addition to freezing all parking charges and maintaining existing free parking deals, from January 2019 a new free parking option will be introduced, with free parking after 6pm in the St Mary's Gardens Car Park in Bedford.
The numerous car park charge freezes and new free parking offers introduced in support of the town centre by Mayor Dave Hodgson marks a stark contrast with the approach inherited from local Conservatives, who more than doubled car park charges in just six years before Mayor Dave Hodgson was elected.

Silnice III/35726 je silnice III. třídy v Kraji Vysočina, kde spojuje Jimramov se Sněžným.

Vedení trasy
V Jimramově se silnice odděluje nedaleko náměstí Jana Karafiáta od silnice II/357 a ulicí U Fryšávky vede ven z městysu. Během své trasy téměř kopíruje Fryšávku, kterou i několikrát pomocí mostů překračuje – poprvé už v Jimramově prostřednictvím tzv. nového mostu u Sola. Další dvojice přemostění řeky následuje v oblasti zv. Smrčiny a následně vstupuje do Nového Jimramova. Tady se nachází turisty a především lyžaři vyhledávaný Ski Areál Jimramov. Za Novým Jimramovem, znovu překračuje Fryšávku, následně se stáčí doprava, obchází vrch Štarkov se zříceninou hradu Skály (označovanou po vrchu také jako Štarkov) a vede na Jimramovské Paseky. Asi tak po 2/3 cesty míří vpravo odbočka na Javorek, která za ním ústí na silnici II/353.

Za Pasekami, nedaleko autobusové zastávky Líšná, horní, znovu přemosťuje Fryšávku, stáčí se na Líšnou, kterou prochází a pokračuje přes její část Dolní Líšná. Prochází pouze okrajem osady, přičemž se stáčí prudce vpravo a proti proudu Fryšávky míří směrem Vříšť. Zde přechází přes Sněženský potok, jeden z přítoků Fryšávky, a také zde tvoří serpentiny. U autobusové zastávky Sněžné, Vříšť, rozc. se napojuje na silnici II/354 a svoji trasu tak končí.

Zajímavosti

V Jimramově silnice původně po oddělení vedla Panskou ulicí, kde procházela velice úzkým místem mezi bývalým pivovarem a dnes již zbořeným Zámeckým mlýnem. Za touto částí se stáčela doprava a nad fotbalovým hřištěm a okolo Horního mlýna pokračovala pryč. Fryšávku překonávala po dnes již silně zchátralém a pro dopravu uzavřeném starém mostě u Sola. K přeložení silnice do současné podoby došlo v letech 1955–1956.

Bedbug infestations have been on the increase over recent years, so if you suspect these may be present in your premises don't think you are alone.
Bedbugs do not differentiate between dirty and clean environments; all they care about is being close to a host (human) to feed from. During the day bedbugs can hide in the crevices of a mattress, joints in a bed frame, furniture, skirting boards and other areas of the room they are unlikely to be disturbed.
They emerge in the evening to feed, attracted by the body heat and carbon dioxide emitted from the hosts.
Bites are the most common sign sometimes causing an allergic reaction.
Black stains on the bed sheets and mattresses caused by droppings and engorged bedbugs being squashed.
Moulted shells from the bedbugs as they go through the life cycle.
Live insects may be seen on examination of an area.
With sizeable infestations you may notice a musty smell hanging around.
Bedbugs can spread easily and widely once established within a premises, travelling between neighbouring rooms using conduits, holes in walls and pipes. Bedbugs can be resilient little creatures and can be difficult to exterminate. That is why we use a variety of complimentary methods in treating infestations, whereas some companies that only use one. Where possible we treat bedbugs without the use of chemicals, using not toxic methods to eradicate the infestation.
Fleas are parasites and externally feed on warm blooded animals, birds and humans. Fleas often enter domestic premises on the back of our much loved pets, unfortunately by the time they have been noticed hundreds of egg's may have fallen on the carpet, cracks in the floor and other areas around the home where your pets venture. It is important to catch an infestation at its earliest stages, as a flea's lifespan is 100 days and each pair can produce 400–500 offspring in that time.
Fleas are more than just a nuisance, their bites can cause painful reactions to humans and pets, they can also transmit several diseases.

Lifebit Biotech secures £44 million Series B investment led by Tiger Global Management
Safiya Marzook
Lifebit raises $60m to make vital biomedical data securely accessible for life changing research worldwide
LONDON, UK – 28 September 2021 – Lifebit Biotech Ltd – the leading precision medicine software company democratising access to biomedical data for governments, healthcare providers and research teams worldwide – has raised a $60 million Series B funding round, led by global investment firm Tiger Global Management. Existing investors Eurazeo, Pentech Ventures, and Beacon Capital also participated.
Unlocking access to biomedical data has the power to rid society of its most devastating diseases. Yet despite the rapid growth of biomedical data in recent years, only a fraction of it is being utilised for drug discovery and precision medicine. This is because the data needed for such vital work is often inaccessible and unusable. Whether that's down to governance, regulations, security concerns, or inadequate technology.
Get Deal News in your inbox every Monday
Lifebit builds enterprise data platforms for use by organisations with complex and sensitive biomedical datasets. This patented technology solves the biggest roadblock for precision medicine – making highly sensitive biomedical data securely accessible by bringing researchers' analysis and computation to where data resides, instead of moving data around.
Lifebit's accompanying suite of AI-powered end-to-end software solutions provide faster data insights, accelerate drug discovery pipelines, and improve clinical trials success. This approach has seen Lifebit acquire high-profile clients across the public and private sectors including contracts to power the UK Government agency, Genomics England, and a long-term AI-partnership with German pharma giant Boehringer Ingelheim.
"Making distributed highly-sensitive biomedical data usable while keeping it secure in-place and combining it with other data has never been possible, until now," said Dr. Maria Chatzou Dunford, Lifebit CEO. "It's great to see how excited our investors are to support our mission and first-of-its-kind transformative technology. With this new strategic backing, we will continue to expand our global presence, with a focus on customer success and accelerating the growth of our team."
Partner at Tiger Global, John Curtius, added:
"We are confident that Lifebit's innovative and industry-leading software solutions, paired with their customer-first approach, will drive rapid global adoption and accelerate breakthroughs in precision medicine."

There are 3 main events in end-time prophecy that we all see in crystal clarity, and discerning the order of these 3 events seems to be what has us all cross-armed in our various different clubs of eschatology.
1 Thess. 4:16-17 — "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." We all agree that this is going to happen; the dispute is whether or not this is the same as Christ's coming at Armageddon or a separate and previous event.
Revelation 16:1 — "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth." Grievous plague of sores, oceans and rivers turned to blood, the sun scorching people, cities everywhere destroyed in an earthquake, 70-pound hailstones… Leading up to the Battle of Armageddon is a long series of terrible events that can only be described as God's wrath against a sinful, unrepentant world.
Revelation 19:19 — "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army." This is without a doubt the full earthly return of Christ, and at His coming are all the armies destroyed who gathered in the Valley of Megiddo to fight against Him.
Okay, so… it's simple. To discern whether or not the rapture described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 happens separate from Christ's return at Armageddon, we must determine whether it occurs before the period of God's wrath; after all, we are perfectly clear that the process of God's wrath begins a long while before and leading up to Armageddon. Consider the locust demons who arise from the Abyss in Revelation 9 — "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months." That judgment alone takes 5 months, let alone the rest of God's wrath. Proving the "pre-tribulational" rapture is as easy as determining that the Church is saved before these many horrible wrath judgments, not after.
Most "a-millennial" and "a-rapture" views state that the rapture takes place at the time of Christ's return at Armageddon, which means the Church, purchased by the blood of Christ, goes through every single one of God's wrath punishments before being redeemed at the final resurrection… which is at the Battle of Armageddon… Convenient, two birds one stone. Get it all done at once. It does, however, pose one very large dilemma — the Scriptures are clear that the Church is not appointed to experience God's wrath. Not in any capacity. Not whatsoever.
That means that the rapture described 1 Thessalonians 4 must occur before the commencement of God's wrath, which we know is entirely poured out by the time of Armageddon. In fact, Armageddon is the great coup de grâce in the final act of God's glorious vengeance.
If we are indeed spared from even a single drop of God's wrath, then that is the only chronological order to conclude.
To prove that we are, without a doubt, spared from experiencing that time of God's wrath so vividly illustrated throughout Revelation 6 to 19, let's turn to Scripture. Here are 7 proof texts to show that we are saved prior to wrath, and therefore much more prior to Christ's return at Armageddon.
Strange that the Church isn't given any instructions in the Scriptures on how to survive bloody oceans, scorching sunlight, or worldwide earthquakes. Maybe it's because we are told that we should strive to "escape all these things that shall come to pass", not go through them. It comes as a snare to "all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth"… so if it's not a snare to the Church, it must be because the Church is not anywhere on the earth when this time begins, since the text literally says that absolutely everyone located everywhere on earth will be caught by surprise in this snare.
In this passage, Christ promises those who faithfully endure that they will be kept from an hour that's coming in history. He's saying they will not experience something that is going to effect everyone who dwells upon the earth! What could that mean, but that the Church is in heaven during this coming "hour of temptation". We're either on earth or in heaven. One or the other. Can't be both, so which is it?
Well, we know what that word "wrath" is referring to. Revelation gave us a long and thorough description. And apparently, according to this passage, one of the things that Christ's sacrifice accomplished was that we would be spared from "the wrath to come". It ensured that we would never experience God's wrath, because Christ endured it for us on the cross. That means that no Christian can be present on the earth during that long, gruelling, horrific period of time that's coming at the end of the age.
Let's remember, the wrath of God is not just one single judgment poured out all at once during the Battle of Armageddon. It is described in multiple phases of trumpet judgments and vials of wrath executed by various different angels. Every bit of it is considered "wrath". The Church is not appointed to any of it, which forces us to believe that the "salvation by out Lord Jesus Christ" occurs before the start of wrath—certainly not at Armageddon, after the judgments have all been executed.
A foreboding message to sleeping Christians—sleeping in regard to seeing the signs of Christ's coming. This text begs the question: if not watching results in being unaware of the timing of His return, will watching result in being aware of that hour? Logic would conclude, I suppose. Only those who don't watch are caught by surprise, as by a thief. Fascinating choice of words, "as a thief". That's exactly how passages elsewhere described the sudden and calamitous start of God's wrath — "… the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." (1 Thess. 5:2-4) Taking these two passages hand in hand, we learn that not only will faithful Christians be aware of the timing of the destructive Day of the Lord, but also of the timing of Christ's coming. Perhaps this is because the timing of these two events are one in the same, salvation coming just before wrath, not just after. We are also clearly told that this day is only a trap for the unbelieving world, not the Church, so why should we expect to go through this period of time?
Ah, the good Ol' Testament! I bet you thought I'd never go there. How could I not? It contains what may be the clearest and most vivid chronology of the eschatological events in question. First, a resurrection is described; secondly, those who are resurrected are hidden in chambers, presumably heavenly chambers, since what they're hiding from is a punishment on "the inhabitants of the earth". So, "the earth shall cast out the dead", who "awake and sing", and then these resurrected people of God hide in heaven while the Lord's indignation (a fancy word for wrath) punishes all earth-dwellers. The order here presented makes it clear that the resurrection/rapture of 1 Thessalonians 4 occurs prior to God's wrath.
In this chapter, Jesus goes on to describe what the rapture event of 1 Thessalonians 4 will be like for those who are still alive at that time — "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left." Earlier in the very same chapter, the two historical examples that Jesus compares this event to are those of Noah and Lot… both of whom were saved prior to the outpouring of God's wrath. Noah entered the Ark, and then God destroyed the wicked. Lot fled Sodom, and then the city was devoured by fire. Luke 17 is a real "rapture chapter". If you want to know what the rapture will be like, most of the information we're given about it is right here. The only two past examples that Jesus gives, like two witnesses, confirm that the salvation of the Church is chronologically placed before the wrath of God begins—that means before Armageddon, and before the vials of wrath and trumpet judgments that come before Armageddon.
Clearly, there is a rapture before the Day of the Lord—that is, the Day of the Lord's indignation, wrath, vengeance; that great day when God takes back His world and gives it to His people.
Revelation 7 has the 144,000 categorized as 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. It also specifies the names of the tribes: Juda, Reuben, Gad, Aser, Nephthalim, Manasses, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zabulon, Joseph, Benjamin. That is impossible to spiritualize as the Church. The Church in no way categorized into 12 groups anywhere in Scripture, nor is it specifically associated with these Israelite tribes. Revelation has the Church divided into 7, with the 7 spirits of God dwelling in the 7 churches—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon, thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—but nowhere is the Church assigned a spiritualized division into 12 tribes. Because of the specificity of the 12 Israelite tribes, we can be sure that the 144,000 sealed in Revelation 7 are from corporate Israel (Jews), not spiritual Israel (the Church).
If the Church is not the 144,000, and its salvation comes prior to the wrath of God, then it is a total fallacy to see the timing of the rapture at Armageddon; and it is borderline blasphemous to say that the Church is on earth while the world is being utterly devastated from one end to the other by the wrath of God, as if to say the wrath cast upon Jesus at the crucifixion wasn't enough to fully purchase the Church.
May God bless our discernment on these matters. Being so clearly in the end times, we need to understand these things now. These prophecies were largely written for us, the last generation. If we don't solidly come to understand these prophecies soon, then they will have meant very little to us, and to read them all as encrypted literary and poetic phrases that require interpretation is to surrender to the impossibility of ever actually understanding them. No interpretation, no matter how scholarly, will ever be certainly and confidently the true interpretation. Unless the Word means what it says, the prophecies were given to us in vain.
Thankfully, discerning the order and sequence of prophetic events is not a matter that even requires interpretation. Revelation lists 7 seals, the last of which unlocks the 7 trumpet judgments, the last of which unlocks the 7 vials of God's wrath. That's called a sequence. Not only is each set numbered 1 to 7, but each set is initiated by the one that comes before it. This gives us a timeline.
between the 6th and the 7th seal.
Who else could this group be, gathered in heaven from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue, if not the Church? This is written just after the 144,000 are sealed, immediately contrasting the very precise "144,000" with the considerably less precise "great multitude, which no man could number", again showing the clear difference between corporate Israel and spiritual Israel.
It's also worthy of note that the Church's appearance here in Revelation 7 is perfectly timed just after the 6th seal of Revelation 6, when God's wrath is first announced — "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb." (Rev. 6:16) It's no coincidence that the Church is celebrating in heaven in the very next chapter, just before the 7th seal.

Culinary, Aladdin Set to Talk
By Alana Roberts, Las Vegas Sun
Despite a previously contentious relationship with the current and previous owners of the Aladdin, Culinary Union and company leaders have expressed optimism about their ability to hammer out a deal.
The union and the company are set to begin negotiations on behalf of about 1,500 cocktail servers, bartenders, maids, porters and food service workers on March 1 and 2, D. Taylor, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union Local 226, said.
"I think that obviously a first-time contract will always pose some challenges," Taylor said. "I'm very confident we will find a mutually acceptable contract and I'm looking forward to negotiations."
Amy Sadowsky, an Aladdin spokeswoman, expressed the same optimism about the upcoming negotiations process.
"Everything is on track as per our initial announcement," Sadowsky said. "We're looking forward to the process."
The Aladdin's workers will add to the union's current 48,000-person membership.
The Aladdin is currently owned by OpBiz LLC, a partnership between Robert Earl, the co-founder and chief executive of Planet Hollywood International Inc.; Bay Harbor Management LC; and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. The group bought the property in a bankruptcy-court auction.
More than a year ago the union got a majority of workers to sign cards through a card check signifying their interest in joining the union. The company's previous ownership, the Sommer Family Trust and London Clubs International Plc, declined to recognize the card check through a neutrality agreement. The company's former owners stated they would prefer to have the workers decide if they want the union's representation through a National Labor Relations Board-run election, a form of organizing that is less desirable to the union.
The stance the property's former owners took prompted union leaders to picket the property several times and to file charges with the National Labor Relations Board. The union also waged a negative public-relations campaign against the company's current owners complete with an informational Web site dedicated to criticizing the group, pickets of the property and critical letters to Nevada Gaming Control Board leaders.
A card check is a form of union organizing that calls on organizers to get workers to sign cards specifying their support of the union. The other component of that form of organizing is the neutrality agreement, with the company agreeing to accept the union once a majority of workers sign union cards.
The company announced in December that it would cooperate with the Culinary Union and allow the union to try to organize its workers.
"We plan to be a serious player on the Strip," Earl said at the time. "We don't need to have any fights for the sake of a fight. The workers wanted this and we gave it to them straight away."
The union has also reached an accord with the leaders of Wynn Las Vegas, Arte Nathan, chief human resources officer for Wynn Resorts, confirmed. Nathan said Wynn Las Vegas has signed a neutrality agreement with the union. He said the agreement follows a long history of cooperation between Steve Wynn and his properties and the union dating back to when Wynn owned the Golden Nugget and the Mirage.
"We think it's to our advantage and theirs," Nathan said. "Employees want to belong and these are reasonable folks who represent our employees and our interests. They've been good partners to us."
The card check won't take place until after Wynn Las Vegas has employees in place Nathan said. The property's leaders will begin making job offers next Monday and employees will begin working between March 21 and April 28 when the property opens to the public.
"I think the union will be aggressive as far as getting people to sign up," Nathan said. "I suspect some time after we open they will come to us and say, 'We either have them or we don't."'
Taylor declined to discuss the union's organizing plans at non-union gaming properties such as Station Casinos, the Palms and the Venetian.
Taylor said the union's other plans include local work completing the merger between the Culinary Union's parent Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union and UNITE. The two unions merged at the national level to become UNITE HERE in July.
Taylor said the merger is necessary in order for the union to remain a powerful force.
"We think sometime in the spring we'll have that merger completed. They will merge into the Culinary Workers Union."
He said since most gaming companies use union labor to perform laundry service the union won't need to launch a campaign on behalf of UNITE's members against gaming companies. However, he said both the 3,000 Las Vegas UNITE members and Culinary Union members will benefit from the merger.
"I think it's fundamental in the union movement," Taylor said. "We have more strength in numbers. We (Culinary Union) have a longer tradition in this town. I think that will be helpful. We'll benefit too from those members being in our union."

Q: Iterate Through all Folders in a Drive - A Legacy Storage Option Migration to Cloud I have a folder structure similar to the following:

This structure is used to store images.
New images are appended to the deepest available directory.
A directory can hold a maximum of 100 images.
Examples:
The first 100 images added will have the path:

*

*X:\Images\DB\0\0\0\0\0\0\image_name.jpg

A random image may have the path:

*

*X:\Images\DB\0\2\1\4\2\7\image_name.jpg

The last 100 images added will have the path:

*

*X:\Images\DB\0\9\9\9\9\9\image_name.jpg

N.B. An image is only ever stored at the deepest possible directory.

*

*X:\Images\DB\0\x\x\x\x\x\IMAGES_HERE

E.G. There are no images stored in: X:\Images\DB\0\1\2\3
N.B. The deepest folder path to an image only exists if an image is stored there. Example:

*

*X:\Images\DB\0\9\9\9\9\9

... may not exist (and it doesn't in my case).
What I want to achieve is, beginning at the root directory, navigate through every possible path to the images and run a command.
I'm aware the time complexity for this is in terms of hours, if not days. It's a legacy storage option with the command migrating images to the cloud.
I have already managed to code some functions to allow me to travel to the current deepest directory and execute a command, but visiting all possible paths adds a complexity I'm struggling with - also I'm new to Python.
Here is the code:
# file generator
def files(path):
    for file in os.listdir(path):
        if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, file)):
            yield file

# latest deepest directory
def get_deepest_dir(dir):
    current_dir = dir
    next_dir = os.listdir(current_dir)[-1]

    if len(list(files(current_dir))) == 0:
        next_dir = os.path.join(current_dir, next_dir)
        return get_deepest_dir(next_dir)
    else:
        return current_dir

# perform command
def sync():
    dir = get_deepest_dir(root_dir)
    command = "<command_here>"
    subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True)

A: I used the following to search for csv / pdf files. I've left an example of what I wrote to search through all folders.
os.listdir -
os.listdir() method in python is used to get the list of all files and directories in the specified directory.
os.walk -
os.walk() method, in python is used to generate the file names in a directory tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up.
#Import Python Modules
import os,time
import pandas as pd

## Search Folder
##src_path ="/Users/folder1/test/"
src_path ="/Users/folder1/"
path = src_path

files = os.listdir(path)

for f in files:
    if f.endswith('.csv'):
        print(f)

for root, directories, files in os.walk(path, topdown=False):
    for name in files:
        if name.endswith('.csv'):
            print(os.path.join(root, name))
        ##    for name in directories:
        ## print(os.path.join(root, name))

for root, directories, files in os.walk(path):
    for name in files:
        if name.endswith('.pdf'):
            print(os.path.join(root, name))
        ## for name in directories:
        ## print(os.path.join(root, name))

A: Thanks to @NeoTheNerd above for the solution.
The adapted code which worked for me is here.
def all_dirs(path):
    for root, directories, files in os.walk(path, topdown=False):
        if sum(c.isdigit() for c in root) == 6:
            print("Migrating Images From {}".format(root))

all_dirs("X:\\Images\\DB\\0")

Vasu that sounds like a good plan and one which I might try and agree/follow with my dd. Which interactive mini tests are you using for your evening session? The use of different formats - hard copy and pc will definitely increase her interest. Thanks.
Oh so so funny and true. I do not have much patience when it comes to explaining maths for what seems to be the nth time so to prevent me from becoming eggy we have instigated a red and yellow card "send off" system which DD used to place on the table in front of me with a steely look in her eye. Just the sight of them made me behave!!
Love it Jules. My DS would so enjoy using that system. Might use it for piano practise too.
I love the red and yellow card system Jules. So funny. I might introduce that for me to use on my two teenage sons. Having said that I feel sure they will join forces and use them on me.
As for keeping the whole thing stress free, I guess it just depends upon the DSs characters. My youngest two are very laid back (in need of a swift kick up the pants sometimes) whereas I am the stress head (hence the red wine). However, a friend of mine took a very laid back approach and yet her DD was quite stressed out about the whole thing. I am sure you will offer lots of encouragement, praise and understanding (remember not to shout dim child - that really made me laugh). They all seem to come through it ok.
Luckily we all have a good sense of humour in our family so DS would probably laugh his head off if I were to shout dim boy at him. It's just my mother- in - law who would book him in for counselling.
I found during 11 plus prep I developed an obsessive need to go over and over practice papers..oh you got 2 wrong...lets just do another one..why was that ?!!! I'm much more chilled with DS2 now and even set up some work for him yest, and then said Oh don't worry just play instead ! Must be all your good advice.
Perhaps if he got 2 wrong, then that "2" margin means there means there's an element of doubt about whether it will overall mean success or failure. Getting 100% is more certain success. Perhaps with the second DC, you now know that you can allow for a bigger margin of error and you have more confidence in yourself and him that it will be fine?
This parenting business is often a tightrope. My dog-obssessed DS2, mentioned elsewhere , is still finding it hard to settle in at nursery, even after 6 months (this morning was a nightmare ). A normally happy, very funny, engaged boy, still clings to his mummy and it makes me feel terrible that I'm doing/ have done something wrong and this will affect his future life chances and yet, when writing that I want to put in When you're in the thick of something, it's harder to keep perspective about (pseudo-psychology/philosophy alert ) life being a whole journey and not getting bogged down in one tricky stage of it.
Seize the day ... before it seizes you.
I was in the same boat a few years ago with ds2. That too shall pass. I would give give anything to have that little boy clinging to me, wanting his mum than the one,, now, who completely blocks me out. Hmmmm once a mother always a mother. It never gets easier.
Oh my son did this too!!
For a little over 6 months I had to plan my escape each day from nursery, leaving him howling the whole time when I wasn't there. I started off leaving him five minutes before the end of the session, then ten minutes, then fifteen (you get the picture) and all the while he just cried and cried when I wasn't there. One day I said goodbye to him and he just looked at me and then carried on playing at whatever he was doing at the time. Must be just boys!! (he's 32 now and can be on his own ).
Our tutoring was stressful in places but I enjoyed it sooooo much, I actually missed it when it all came to an end. No tips for it though, I think it's something which is individual to each family and you deal with it the best you can, according to the child.
Oh, none of mine did that, they all ran off into playgroup without even a backward glance, I wish they had been a bit more reluctant. We're never satisfied.

Q: Python - Executing a function in another script in a child folder I have a master script that executes several child scripts within subfolders of the main directory.
The folder hierarchy looks like:
MyFolder\MasterScript.py
MyFolder\ChildOneScript\ChildOne.py
MyFolder\ChildTwoScript\ChildTwo.py
MyFolder\ChildThreeScript\ChildThree.py

From MasterScript, I need call a function in ChildOne "myChildFunction" & pass some variables to it. The problem is, I cannot simply do
import ChildOneScript.ChildOne as ChildOne
ChildOne.myChildFunction

because there are other scripts that depend on the relative path of ChildOne. So if I import ChildOne to the MyFolder directory from the MasterScript and call myChildFunction there, I get traceback errors saying other files cannot be found. This is due to the mistakes of another stubborn programmer that refuses change his relative path calls, as it is a lot of manual work.
So, is there a way to call myChildFunction from within MasterScript and pass it some variables?
I'm aware I can use subprocess.call and it's cwd argument to change the working directory, but I can't figure out if it's possible to call the specific myChildFunction and pass it varaibles using subprocess.
Edit: Is it possible to pass variables using execfile?

A: You can always hack it with the os module. It's not pretty, but it's probably the best you can do without rewriting all the other guy's code. If you'll be using functions from the other scripts a lot, I'd write a wrapper for the them to make it easier to call them:
import sys
import os

def call_legacy_func(func, *args, **opts):
    prev = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()) # Save the real cwd
    try:
        # Get the child's physical location.
        func_path = sys.modules[func.__module__].__file__
    except:
        # Die; we got passed a built-in function (no __file__)
        # Or you could just call it, I guess: return func(*args, **opts)
        return None

    # Change to the expected directory and run the function.
    os.chdir(func_path)
    result = func(*args, **opts)

    # Fix the cwd, and return.
    os.chdir(prev)
    return result

import ChildOneScript.ChildOne as ChildOne
call_legacy_func(ChildOne.myChildFunction, 0, 1, kwarg=False)

A: Can you please clarify your problem? In particular, it's unclear to me what your issue with the folder layout and importing from subscripts is.
For example, if I create the following directory structure:
/example
    __init__.py
    master.py
    /childone
        __init__.py
        childone.py
    /childtwo
        __init__.py
        childtwo.py

Where the __init__.py are simply empty files and  the source files are as follows:
# master.py
from childone.childone import childone_fxn
from childtwo.childtwo import childtwo_fxn

print "Calling child one"
childone_fxn()

print "Calling child two"
childtwo_fxn()

--
# childone.py
def childone_fxn():
    print "hello from child one"

--
def childtwo_fxn():
    print "hello from child two"

From within /example I can then run master.py and get the expected output:
example $ python master.py
Calling child one
hello from child one
Calling child two
hello from child two

You can of course use the subprocess module if you want to treat the child scripts like any other executable, but I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to import the child scripts directly.  But perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question...
