Generosity shines on Pender Riding for the Disabled
Children with disabilities are learning to ride horses and boost their social skills with the help of Pender Riding for the Disabled Redcliffe.
Volunteer Chris Whittall, whose granddaughter rides with the centre, says it makes a huge difference in the lives of young people.
"Some of the children have physical disabilities and it helps them socially as well as physically," Chris says.
"It's really therapeutic for them and the kids relate very well to the volunteers who work with them.
"Some of the kids are on the autism spectrum and they're not only learning to ride, they are also learning how to mix with other children in a less formal way."
Vital business support
Pender is part of Riding for the Disabled Queensland, which helps people with disabilities access the benefits of contact with horses as well as taking part in horse riding and physical activity.
But Chris says that with no government funding, Pender has to raise money to pay for the care of its four horses - Star, Bullseye, Lucy and Caspar.
"There is feed, the cost of the farrier, dentist, veterinarian, occasional transport costs as well as vaccines to ensure that each horse is in excellent condition to carry their young charges," Chris explains.
"Anything we need we have to fundraise for."
New fundraiser
This year, Pender launched a new fundraising campaign, seeking an annual sponsorship of the four horses from local businesses.
Scarborough real estate agency Reid and Co. was the first to rise to the challenge, with a tax-deductible $2000 sponsorship of Lucy.
"The centre is entirely run by volunteers so sponsorship of each of the horses is essential," Chris says.
In return for their generosity, Reid and Co. have received a certificate of appreciation and a photo of Lucy.
If you'd like to sponsor a horse email penderriding@gmail.com

Q: Create a list of tuples excluding on tuple in the list I have a list of tuples and I want to create another list that doesn't contain a specific tuple from that list.
Example:
mylist = [(a,b), (c,d), (e,f)]
selected = (c,d)
operation_between(list, selected)
newlist = [(a,b), (e,f)]

The most simple way to do that is using a for loop, for iterating through mylist and inserting to newlist if current_item != selected.  Is there any better way?
I thought of converting the list to a set and then using the - operator to remove the selected tuple from the set. But using set(mylist) only created a set with one item, the list.
Then to fix that I think to use list comprehension, but this implies a for-loop again.

A: Maybe just make a list comprehension filtering for what you don't want?
mylist2 = [(x, y) for (x, y) in mylist if (x, y) != (c, d)]

A: Use list.remove() if you want to alter mylist:
mylist.remove(selected)

If you want a new copy of mylist without the element in question, use the list() constructor to make a new list instead, then call remove() on the new list:
newlist = list(mylist)
newlist.remove(selected)

While debugging a vSphere Web Client plugin project, I found it's not easy to refresh the services with the Virgo server which acts as the back end for the plugin GUI but as client for the vCenter server. Packaged as OSGi bundle, it's supposed to be easy to reload the service. Mixed together with various components in the plugins, however, it's sometimes not quite straight forward for the re-deployment for updated code. Here is a brute force approach I found while playing with it.
First of all, you want to update the file whose link is registered in the plugin extension. If you use Tomcat as your server, the location could be a sub-directory under the /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ directory. You could change the plugin version (including build number) and make the vCenter to download the file again. If you don't want to do it, you can go ahead and login into vCenter appliance for the following actions.
In the directory, locate the sub directory for your plugin service and delete it completely using "rm -fr " command. Don't delete anything else that does not belong to your plugin, or you risk ruin other plugins.
Then, go to the another directory and something similar.
Now, the related files are removed. However the OSGi bundle is still loaded. I remember there are commands to reload a bundle for a typical container. An easy way is just to restart the client as follows. It may take more than one minute for the GUI to load after you see the console message the service has been started. Just be patient.
It's really a nice and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you simply shared this useful info with us.


With the elections behind us and the legislative session ahead, the members of The Association of Retired Teachers of Connecticut (ARTC) want to congratulate the newly elected members of the legislature as well as those re-elected. We look forward to continuing our work in 2019 on behalf of 37,000 retired teachers.
several popular myths about the benefits available to retired teachers.
Our retirement benefits are dependent on legislative decisions and past government promises. Connecticut teachers do not contribute to Social Security; however, they do contribute 7 percent of their annual income to the Teachers Retirement Fund and 1.25 percent to their Health Insurance Fund with the belief that these funds will be sustained in their retirement years. In addition, they contribute 1.45 percent for Medicare. Retired teachers who do not have Medicare coverage pay approximately $400 up to $1,200 per person, per month. For health care, retirees monthly premium costs coupled with monies paid from their HIPA fund result in retired teachers paying the bulk of their own insurance coverage.
Over the years, while teachers contributed to their retirement funds and health care costs, state budgets did not adequately contribute to the Teachers Retirement Fund and to the Health Insurance Fund. As a result, there is an unfunded liability of more than $13 billion in the Retirement Fund and approximately $200 million in default to the Health Fund. Unless these funds are maintained, Connecticut will no longer be able to attract and keep qualified educators to maintain its high standards of education.
The latest projections indicate that, unless the legislature fully funds their statuary one-third share, the [Teachers Health Insurance Fund] will become insolvent in 2020.
Our Health Insurance Fund is in a particularly urgent crisis. The latest projections indicate that, unless the legislature fully funds their statuary one-third share, the fund will become insolvent in 2020. This fund was established by retired teachers to help defray the cost of insurance premiums in their retirement years. To be clear, even with the state's required contributions to this fund, retired teachers presently pay for most of their own insurance costs.
In response to Connecticut's financial condition, many news reports have focused on the State's pension liabilities and the need to change government pensions. Many of these articles confuse the pension contributions of teachers with the pension contributions of state employees.
These reports ignore the fact that teachers contribute a significantly larger portion of their salaries toward their pension and are not able to fully participate in the social security system. There is also a casual disregard for the fact that both retired teachers and state employees have paid their fair share to ensure a solvent system while state government has not.
Presently the legislature is exploring ways to address the problem of adequately maintaining these funds. The legislature formed the Connecticut Pension Sustainability Commission to study the feasibility of placing state capital assets in a trust and maximizing those assets for the sole benefit of the state pension system. A proposal was made by the past administration to dedicate lottery assets to the cash-starved teacher retirement benefit fund. The Association of Retired Teachers of CT (ARTC) is open to these and other ideas designed to stabilize the pension system and pledges to work together with policymakers to achieve this.
Ed Messina is the President of the Association of Retired Teachers of Connecticut.

5 Things you need to know about Java 10
Amarabha Banerjee
June 7, 2018 - 4:00 am
Oracle has announced the release of Java 10 version on March 20. While this is not an LTS version, there are few changes in this version which are worth noting. In this article we'll look at 5 of the most important things you'll need to watch out for, especially if you're a Java developer.
Java releases long term support versions in every 3 year. As per this scheduling, their future long term support version, Java 11 will be releasing in Fall 2018. Java 10 is a precursor to that and contains some important changes which will take a clearer shape in the next version.
Java 10 is trying to emulate some of the popular features of Scala and Kotlin. One of the primary reasons can be the growing popularity of Kotlin in both web and mobile development domain and also the dynamic typing capability in Scala and Kotlin both. The introduction of local variable type is one of them. This feature implies that variables can now be declared as "var" and when you assign a certain integer or a string to it then the compiler will automatically know what type of variable it is. Although this doesn't make Java a dynamically typed language like Python, still this allows a lot more flexibility for the programmers and lets them avoid boilerplates in their code.
There are 2 JEPs in JDK 10 that focus on improving the current Garbage Collection (GC) elements. The first one, Garbage-Collector Interface (JEP 304) will introduce a clean garbage collector interface to help improve the source code isolation of different garbage collectors. In current Java versions there are bits and pieces of GC source files scattered all over the HotSpot sources. This becomes an issue when implementing a new garbage collector, since developers have to know where to look for those source files. One of the main goals of this JEP is to introduce better modularity for HotSpot internal GC code, have a cleaner GC interface and make it easier to implement new collectors.
Java 10 promises to become much faster than its previous version by making the full garbage collector parallel. This is a welcome move and change from the version 9 since this allows the developers scope to better allocate memory and use the GC (Garbage Collector) in parallel. The GC in the previous versions didn't have the capability to load values in parallel and that made it heavy and difficult to operate for complex applications. The present parallel GC removes that factor and makes it much more lightweight and efficient.
Java 10 enables programmers to allow heap allocation on alternative memory devices. This feature lets the Java VM decide on the most important tasks and then allocate maximum memory for those priority processes with other processes are allocated to alternative memory. This helps in fastening up the overall process. This change is important for the Java developers because this will help them in better and efficient memory management and hence will increase the performance of their applications.
With these changes, Java 10 has opened up the doors for a more open and flexible language which is looking towards the future. With Kotlin breathing down its neck as a worthy alternative, the stage is set for Java to work towards a more dynamic and easy to use power packed version 11 in 2018 fall. We would be waiting for that along with the Java developers for sure.

The Wheel has turned, seasonal tides are shifting, as we prepare to move into the Darker half of the year. We now stand at Samhain or All Hallows as we in the Catta coven have always called it, the last and final harvest of the year. This is a time steeped in lore and tradition from a variety of cultures and though there are a myriad of differences in the ways this sacred time is honored there are some threads that seem to be universal and shared by many of us that walk the Pagan paths. Samhain in our tradition, as in many others, is a time when the mantle shifts from The Lady to Her Consort and we honor the Mighty Dead.

Q: SQL structure for holding arrays? How can I relate a table with multiple records from another table?
Basically, I have a table for an 'event', how do I keep track of which 'users' (in their own seperate table) are in a particular event? Right now I just have a column in the 'event' table with a comma separated list of the users IDs who have joined that 'event'.
There must be a better way to do this...right?

A: Typically you have a table called users_in_event which holds one row for each user in a many-to-many relationship with the events table.  So for each event, you will have a number of table rows mapped individually to users.
CREATE TABLE users_in_event
(
  user_id INT,
  event_id INT,
  FOREIGN KEY user_id REFERENCES users (user_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE,
  FOREIGN KEY event_id REFERENCES events (event_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE
  -- Optionally, use ON DELETE CASCADE for the events foreign key
  -- FOREIGN KEY event_id REFERENCES events (event_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
)

To find out which users are in an event, do:
SELECT
  users_in_event.user_id,
  users.name
FROM users JOIN users_in_event ON users.user_id = users_in_event.user_id
WHERE event_id=1234;

A: If you have a many-to-many relationship, that is, users can attend many events, and events can be attended by many users, that would traditionally be represented with a mapping table with the primary key from each table, plus any attributes specific to the user-event relationship.
For example, if you have ID columns in your USER and EVENT tables that are both type INT:
CREATE TABLE USER_EVENT_MAPPING
(
    USER_ID INT,
    EVENT_ID INT
)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to our friends, co-workers and partners from all of
Happy Materials!
Alena Matějka – Cabinet of Curiosities
The exhibition by Alena Matějka called Cabinet of Curiosities will be in Galerie Kuzebauch from 17th December 2020 to 26th February 2021.
One such artist possessing a gift of storytelling is the sculptor Alena Matějka. After graduating from The Glass Art School in Kamenický Šenov, she studied in the Glass Studio of professor Vladimír Kopecký at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, with a two-months internship at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. Nowadays, Matějka lives partly in the Vysočina region, as well as alternating between Sweden and Italy. She often collaborates with her husband, the stone sculptor Lars Windenfalk.
Though not working with glass exclusively, it has an irreplaceable position in Matějka's body of work. What other material would be able to connect the transient with the eternal, freeze time and create a seemingly static cabinet of curiosities, that would tumultuously intertwine reality with fiction, empathy with irony. Alena Matějka's cast glass sculptures, often in the combination with other elements (such as stuffed animals), unsettle the viewer, providing no comfort and forcing them to interact.
Jiří Pelcl – Sevenvases
You can see the exhibition Sevenvases from Jiří Pelcl in Galerie Kuzebauch from 1st October to 11th December 2020.
As an established Czech architect, designer and long-term professor at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Pelcl has been interested for a long time in topics on the intersection of sustainability and the seductive forces of consumerism.
Nowadays, environmental issues are part of the golden fund of all intellectual discussion, even amongst artist and designers. These issues became part of mainstream topics, thus lessening their impact, often resulting in mere demonstrations or descriptions of the status quo. Fortunately, there are still those, who can take this topic and transform it without any grand gestures into strong and impressive pieces. Jiří Pelcl (*1950) is among them.
The Sevenvases collection can be understood as a story of rebirth: seven materials, each designated for different applications, repurposed within the universal framework of a vase – like the ancient amphora from the early years of our civilisation. For someone, these can represent seven layers of heavens, seven spheres of the world, seven symbols aspiring towards a perfect harmony; for others, these are "merely" curious interior artefacts. However, Jiří Pelcl was able to revive seven banal, seemingly unattractive and uninteresting materials and give them back a sense of meaning and value. He is able to quietly convey to those interested that design can be more than just a pop-cultural idol.
František Jungvirt and Barbora Kotěšovcová – Fashion Glass
From 7th August to 25th September you can see an exhibition of František Jungvirt and Barbora Kotěšovcová in Galerie Kuzebauch called Fashion Glass.
The glass artist František Jungvirt (*1996) and fashion designer Barbora Kotěšovcová (*1997), both students of the Academy Arts, Architecture and Desing in Prague (UMPRUM), went a even further in their collection for Galerie Kuzebauch. Not only do they combine glass and textile, they also worked together from the very beginning. The result is a collection of organic creations, evoking previously unknown alien life-forms, or organisms invisible to the human eye living with us unseen for millennia. The aesthetics of individual objects and their use of materials is conceptually and functionally connected, just like on the runway, the body of a model is connected with their clothing, or the way a glass object touches its plinth. Thus, the title Fashion Glass, referencing the environment of fashion shows and art presentations.

Despite all existing theoretical works, art is still an incomprehensible entity. There is no guaranteed recipe to access it. There is no objective idea of what it does or does not constitute, which is a view that shifts with new generation of critics. František Jungvirt and Barbora Kotěšovcová came up with a concept that is not self-serving. It very articulately shows that there are numerous paths towards the finish line, even though its direction may not be certain at the first sight. In the spirit of the ancient saying – Seek and ye shall find!

Lada Semecká – Haiku
From 12th June to 31st July you can see an exhibition of Lada Semecká in Galerie Kuzebauch called Haiku.
For many years, Lada Semecká lived in Japan. It is this experience that formed a crucial aspect of her creative identity, whether it is the power of contemplation, a certain depth of thought or a naturally minimalist expression. Her honesty, humility and modesty, is never contradicting the artistic confidence, but on the contrary, it provides strength and makes her art authentic. For self-reflection, in her case, is truly a knowledge of the self, rather than a mere a show for the audience.
Its Snowing!, 2020
Lada Semecká's objects evoke Japanese haiku – three short, lyrical phrases that she adores. One can read these poems in mere seconds, or it can take their entire life. Semecká's art can be viewed in a similar fashion, as lyrical poetry about nature and its relationship to humans. It deals with the experience of the permanent, the fleeting; the fixed and the changing. It asks for an attentive reader. Protagoras is believed to have said in a similar spirit: "Of all things the measure is man, of things that are, that they are, and of things that are not, that they are not." Thus, for some Lada Semecká's work pose as aesthetic object, for others they are the bridge between inner and outer worlds that are barely sensed at first, as if perceived through the depths of a lake. It is up to the individual to accept this invitation and dive in.
Petrovice – Church Vistas
Even though the internation trade fair and congress for chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology is taking place next year, the preparations are in full swing since the end of 2019! Achema is going to take place from 14th to 18th June 2021 in Frankfurt am Main, after a three year pause.
If your company is interested in exhibiting on the trade fair, you can find all important information about registration on the official website.
If you would like to come to Achema as a visitor, all the information including exhibitiors, journey and halls can be found on the Achema website in the visitors section.
Looking forward to see you in Frankfurt next year!
Zuzana Kubelková – Heads 'n Tails
Galerie Kuzebauch is closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, so you can visit the exhibition by appointment only (from 19th March to 5th June). Should you like to visit us, please contact us via mail or phone (+420 732 160 181). All objects from this exhibition are available at Artsy.net.
Shrimp, 2019
Zuzana Kubelková (born 1987) is among those of her generation of glass artists that has developed an affinity for interspersing black and white colours, as well as contrasting the front and reverse sides of her art objects. Additionally, Kubelková has developed a reputation for experimentation with different materials and techniques, as well as seeking artistic solutions both internal and external. Which means that her natural field of artistic creativity is not three, but rather four-dimensional. Whether melting down fibreglass, conjuring up facial visages wrapped in fibreglass cloth, or combining various materials, Kubelková's works are guaranteed to be both bold and original. Indeed, Zuzana Kubelková's interactions with glass undoubtedly go far deeper than a mere summertime romance.
Tremors, 2019
Galerie Kuzebauch at Collect 2020 – Metaphors of Nature
During Collect 2020 (27th February – 1st March) in London, Galerie Kuzebauch will showcase for the second time the exceptional pieces of Czech studio glass, created mainly by a generation of artists born after the 1970s. Their work with glass as a material consists of both differences and similarities.
Klára Horáčková, Evolution Space I, detail, 2018.
The exhibition presents two distinct ways through which the natural world influences the works the few selected artists. Firstly, artist such as Klára Horáčková and Anna Polanská draw directly from the morphology of the environment around them. Inspired by tectonic shifts, the erosion of soil or by natural elements – their pieces represent nature in its purest form, as a force to be reckoned with. The other three artist presented derive inspiration mostly through geometry – an organic vocabulary of shapes, colours and surface structure. Such are the works of Ondřej Strnadel, Petr Stanický and Milan Krajíček.
Ondřej Strnadel, Vessel, 2020.
In the Metaphors of Nature exhibition, Galerie Kuzebauch explores these different, yet connected approaches to glass art in an attempt to find a common reason behind such a powerful inclination to the natural world.
Vladimir Klein – The Depths of Contrast
From 24th January to 13th March you can see a new exhibition of Vladimír Klein in Galerie Kuzebauch called The Depths of Contrast.
Vladimir Klein, a graduate of, and subsequently also a director of, the Secondary School of Glassmaking – Kamenický Šenov (SUPŠS), and a student under the noted Czech glass artist Stanislav Libenský at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM), is a globally renowned Czech glass artist. He was the first Czech to teach at the prestigious Japanese Toyama City Institute of Glass, which has since become a major hub for artists from the "Heart of Europe".
Orange Balls, 2019
As a dexterous and inventive cutter of glass, Klein has developed his own method for decorating custom-made optical glass works, cutting surfaces with the aid of a video-assisted hand tool.In his current art collection, the artist utilised fused glass to a significant degree for the first time. Whereas earlier, his cast glass pieces were mainly based around geometric principles, this new technique has enabled the creation of almost naturalistic shapes evoking huge water lily leaves or slices of exotic plant life.
Orange Boat, 2017
Despite working with glass for more than half a century, Vladimir Klein hasn't come close to recycling past ideas and we can still see his insatiable appetite for creation.
We will be back in office on the 2nd of January.

STOP HR620! HANDS OFF MY ADA! WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE! WHO DO YOU KNOW?
OPPOSE the bill and STOP THE VOTE on H.R. 620 today!
This will weaken and destroy the Civil Rights of millions of people with disabilities! DO BETTER!
As a Mother of young disabled person of America who has come to be a part of the community reliant on the ADA, an advocate for disability rights, an ally to disability rights and/or a social justice/equity advocates I sign this petition opposing the ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017!
I must take a stand. H.R. 620 is not complying with our civil rights. We all know someone, who do you know? Today is my son, my neighbor, a friend, or simply it can very well be you!
H.R. 620 would create significant obstacles for people with disabilities to enforce their rights under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to access public accommodations and would impede their ability to engage in daily activities and participate in the mainstream of society. Rather, the burden of protecting the right to access a public place is shifted to the person with the disability, who first has to be denied access; then must determine that violations of the law have occurred; then must provide the business with specific notice of which provisions of the law were violated and when; and finally, the aggrieved person with the disability must afford the business a lengthy period to correct the problem.
The bill's proponents purport to protect business owners from the burden of understanding and complying with rules designed to ensure that people with disabilities could access public accommodations, claiming this burden is too heavy for businesses. Yet people with disabilities are expected to shoulder this burden and to provide businesses with information about the specific legal obligations that they are violating—after those individuals have been denied the access rights that Congress gave them decades ago. We know of no other law that outlaw's discrimination but permits entities to discriminate with impunity until victims experience that discrimination and educate the entities perpetrating it about their obligations not to discriminate. Such a regime is absurd and would make people with disabilities second-class citizens.
Almost 28 years ago, the ADA was carefully crafted as a bipartisan compromise to take the needs of covered entities, including the types of businesses covered by Title III, into account. Among the compromises reflected in the ADA was the absence of any damage remedy in Title III; only injunctive relief and attorney's fees are available for violations of this part of the law. The fact that, almost 28 years after enactment, there are still organizations, businesses, and companies who violate the law and deny access to people with disabilities suggests that businesses should be better educated about their legal obligations under the ADA—just as they are expected to be about the other legal obligations that they undertake in running a business—not that we should limit the rights of people with disabilities to participate in their communities.
Section 2 of this bill states that the bill was written in consultation with … and representatives of the disability rights community. But H.R. 620 was not written in consultation with representatives of the disability rights community and it would create barriers to the civil rights for persons with disabilities that do not exist in other civil rights laws.
As was mentioned earlier, the ADA has been law for almost 28 years. By this time, business owners have had ample notice of the ADA's requirements and opportunity to remove barriers. If, after 28 years, a business has continued to not comply with the requirements of this legislation, why should a person have to wait more time for enforcement of their civil rights? Should an individual who is not allowed to enter a restaurant because of their race, gender or religion have to wait before seeking to enforce their civil rights? Title III of the ADA already reflects a compromise that takes into account the concerns of businesses; it does not allow individuals to seek damages for violations of their civil rights. Now legislation like H.R. 620 seeks to further erode the civil rights of people with disabilities.
OPPOSE the bill and STOP THE VOTE on H.R. 620!
Please, sign the petition to fight against the creation of this bill!! This is incredibly important to all of us protected under the ADA. This is how we remain equal. Doing this would hinder our equality greatly.


Michael Lessac started his career in theatre after having received a Ph.D. in developmental and perceptual psychology, and was given a two year Ford Foundation Grant to work at the National Theatres of England, Italy, France, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. He also developed his interest in music and was signed to Columbia Records in 1968 to record an album, Sleep Faster, We Need the Pillow, produced by John Hammond.
Over a period of ten years (1974–1984), as founder and artistic director of the Colonnades Theatre Lab in New York City, Lessac produced and directed over thirty productions and maintained and trained a company of eighteen actors, three playwrights, four composers, and a lighting, sound, set design/construction team. The theatre received numerous awards for its work over this period, most notably for its premiere productions of international theatre including original adaptations of the novels of Bulgakov (Molière in Spite of Himself) and Frank O'Connor ("Guests of the Nation" later seen on public television in the US). The Colonnades production of Shakespeare's Cabaret, transferred to Broadway where it was nominated for several musical Tony Awards.
The New York Times called The Colonnades the "Wave of Repertory Future" (Clive Barnes), "A Magnificent, Magical and Powerful Theatre Experience – All the Elements perfect in every detail" (Richard Eder) and the Daily News (Doug Watts), "Small Miracle on Lafayette street." The theatre itself was hailed as "the most elegant little theatre in New York City." Its free space allowed for the development of an unusual flowing cinematic style, which became the hallmark of the company's work and for which it received Drama Desk and new Drama Forum awards. The Colonnades was also an official Ford Foundation "challenge grant" theatre; an annual recipient of grant awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Council on the Arts; the Axe-Houghton Foundation; the Xerox Corporation and many other sponsorships and philanthropies. Interspersed with his work at the Colonnades, Lessac directed at the National Theatre of Yugoslavia (Dubrovnik, Zagreb); The Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis; The Denver Theatre Center; The Arena Stage and the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and The Public Theatre in New York City.
Lessac then wrote and directed House of Cards starring Tommy Lee Jones and Kathleen Turner, which was produced by A&M and Penta Films, distributed by Miramax (1993). He has directed over 200 television shows and sixteen pilots including Taxi, Newhart, Grace Under Fire, The Drew Carey Show, The Naked Truth, Just Shoot Me, Everyone Loves Raymond, George & Leo, Titus, and Lucky among others. He also directed Kathleen Turner in the one-woman show Tallulah, based on the life of Tallulah Bankhead.
Lessac is the creator and director of the international theatre piece Truth in Translation, which he co-produced with South Africa's Market Theatre. Truth in Translation traveled to 26 cities in 11 countries and led to his founding of the Global Arts Corps. GAC is a US 501c3 non-profit theatre and education foundation dedicated to using professional theatre to support reconciliation initiatives in countries emerging from conflict and which celebrates and fosters the possibility of perceptual change. GAC currently has projects in various stages in Cambodia, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and Kosovo and is in discussion with representatives from Canada for a project on their recent Truth Commission. The recently completed GAC documentary film, directed by Michael Lessac, A Snake Gives Birth to a Snake, premiered at the Durban International film festival in July 2014. It had its U.S. premiere in October at the Woodstock Film Festival in New York where it received two awards: Honorable Mention for Best Documentary Film and Honorable Mention for Best Editing. It has been shown as a 'work-in-progress screening' in Afghanistan, Germany, Kosovo, South Africa, France, Bosnia, Ireland, Canada and the US. In 2011, GAC initiated a Perceptual Change Institute, which is an interdisciplinary thought laboratory exploring concepts and ideas around conflict resolution including perception, identity and memory.

Kitchen remodeling and design trends fluctuate every year, although many themes or popular styles carry through to the next season—sometimes lingering on the homeowner "must-have" list for several years. Whether you're beginning a kitchen remodeling project on an existing home or building a new home, Camelot Homes knows the latest design trends that can take your kitchen to the next level and impress your guests.
Trendy, upscale kitchens designed in all-white are still on trend, especially when accented with black trim. For example, black cabinet hardware, countertops, and even black stainless steel appliances are currently in vogue. A white-on-white kitchen design still ranks high in popularity, but the monochromatic theme has the potential to appear a bit bland if not done right.
For several years now, stainless steel appliances have been a trend in luxury kitchens and a popular upgrade for a kitchen remodeling project. But traditional stainless steel does streak and can show smudges and fingerprints. The newest look in stainless steel is black. It is sleek and looks quite elegant in a variety of kitchen designs.
When making kitchen upgrades, consider smart appliances like refrigerators with built-in LED screens that have Wi-Fi connectivity. Some have apps that sync with your phone or other devices that even allow you to "see" into the fridge when you are shopping so you always know what you need from the store.
Designers are adding built-in wine fridges to today's kitchens as a convenient way to display and store bottles of wine, keeping favorites close by to enjoy with dinner and when relaxing after work.
Elegantly simple, the Shaker-style cabinet is definitely on trend. Choose from a natural wood or white painted cabinets. This style has a recessed center and clean lines. Shaker cabinets also easily work with a variety of design concepts, from traditional to modern.
Whether building a new home or upgrading an existing one, look to the professionals at Camelot Homes for the newest trends in kitchen remodeling. Contact us today for your home building and remodeling needs.


We trust doctors to do everything they can to bring babies into the world safely. Sometimes complications are unavoidable, but when they do arise, we expect medical professionals to react accordingly.
If your baby experienced oxygen deprivation during birth, they may experience serious complications in the future. The Talaska Law Firm is here to help. We have the skills and experience in birth injury law to help you recover financial compensation to help you pay for medical bills and extra care for your child.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), also called perinatal asphyxia, is one of the most common types of brain damage caused by loss of oxygen. "Hypoxic" refers to a shortage of oxygen in the blood, "ischemic" means a shortage of blood flow to the brain and "encephalopathy" is the brain damage that results.
The level of damage caused by HIE during delivery is difficult to ascertain at the newborn stage; doctors often cannot determine the severity of the brain injury until the child is 3- or 4-years old.
Some of these issues can be prevented simply by closely monitoring a high-risk pregnancy, others by performing a C-section rather than a vaginal birth. If neonatal breathing problems are addressed correctly and quickly, HIE can be prevented.
If your baby experienced HIE at birth, and you believe negligence or malpractice was the cause, we can help. With more than 20 years of experience devoted to helping families deal with birth injuries, The Talaska Law Firm has the skill and compassion necessary to help you find justice for your child.
Our nationally recognized firm in Houston, Texas, has developed a network of medical experts to help your case and stay on the cutting edge of knowledge in the field. Call 888-791-5191 or send an email to schedule a free consultation with a compassionate lawyer who can evaluate your case.

uwsgi-gif
=========

uWSGI plugin for dynamic generation of simple gif images

Installation
============

The plugin is 2.0 friendly:

```sh
uwsgi --build-plugin https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi-gif
```

The procedure will generate the 'gif' plugin (gif_plugin.so) that you can put where you want (by default uWSGI searches for plugins in the current directory but you can load them specifying the absolute path)

Usage
=====

The plugin adds a 'gif' routing action, that by default generates a 1 pixel black gif:

```ini
[uwsgi]
plugin = gif
http-socket = :9090
; generate a 1 pixel black gif when asking for "/foo.gif"
route = ^/foo\.gif$ gif:
```

The 'gif' action takes a keyval list of parameters:

* width or w -> the width of the image
* height or h -> the height of the image
* red or r -> the red component of the image (0-255)
* green or g -> the green component of the image (0-255)
* blue or blu or b -> the blue component of the image (0-255)

So, if you want to generate a 80x80 red gif you can do:

```ini
[uwsgi]
plugin = gif
http-socket = :9090
; generate a 1 pixel black gif when asking for "/foo.gif"
route = ^/foo\.gif$ gif:width=80,height=80,red=255
```

or you can dynamically set colors:

```ini
[uwsgi]
plugin = gif
http-socket = :9090
route = ^/foo_(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)\.gif$ gif:width=80,height=80,red=$1,green=$2,blue=$3
```

(asking for ``/foo_255_255_0.gif`` will result in a yellow box)

Or you can use the QUERY_STRING

```ini
[uwsgi]
plugin = gif
http-socket = :9090
route = ^/foo\.gif$ gif:width=80,height=80,red=${qs[r]},green=${qs[g]},blue=${qs[b]}
```
(asking for ``/foo.gif?r=128&g=128&b=128`` will result in a gray box)

Notes
=====

The gif generation is really fast and consumes about 300 bytes of memory as the compression way used is pretty dumb. (it can compress about 50% of the pixels resetting the LZW dictionary every two of them). If you care bandwidth do not use the plugin for generation of really big images (or implement full LZW encoding and send a pull request for it ;)

Q: Python 3: Using exec(open("path").read()) to open File and run code from file I am writing at the Moment a little Game to learn a bit Python 3 and I want to import another Game by using exec() to get a File and execute the Script:
While running this script:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/24581759/
I want to use this script as a game inside a game:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/24581775/
The Part where it gets the File and runs the Script:
class Kitchen(Thing):

    def enter(self):
        print(dedent("""
            you in kitchen.
            """))

        action = input("> ")

        if action == "use pc":
            exec(open("//home/opusa/probes/ex35.py").read())
            return 'kitchen'

        if action == "make sandwitch":
            print(dedent("""
                you made sandwitch. now way better.
                """))
            return 'the_end'

        else:
            print(dedent("make sandwitch"))
            return 'kitchen'

I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mygame.py", line 115, in <module>
    a_game.play()
  File "mygame.py", line 29, in play
    next_thing_name = current_thing.enter()
  File "mygame.py", line 75, in enter
    exec(open("//home/opusa/probes/ex35.py").read())
  File "<string>", line 77, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 70, in start
NameError: name 'bear_room' is not defined

If I use other Scripts everything works fine...
Please point out my Mistake and where I can read up on this. Couldn't find anything helpful so far.
Thanks!

How to Talk About COVID With Your Kids: Valley Children's Doctors
How to Talk About COVID With Your Kids: Valley Children's Doctors
Liz Juarez
It's important for parents to talk calmly and frankly with their children about a positive COVID diagnosis. (Shutterstock)
A positive COVID-19 test can alarm families, especially those with youngsters in the house.
The uncertainty of the virus, along with the frustrations of changing plans and everyday routines, can cause overwhelming emotions for the whole family, and can be especially distressing for children.
Even someone as versed on the pandemic as Fresno County's Interim health officer, Dr. Rais Vohra, says he dealt with mixed emotions last month when his family came down with COVID.
"There's going to be a day when your kid comes to you and says, I feel some symptoms, or you get a note from school, and that's one moment which is kind of stressful to work through," said Vohra.
"I would say maybe parents can think about how to react in those moments ahead of time so that they're prepared and therefore seem a little bit more calm."
Doctors Offer Tips for Dealing with a Positive Test
Dr. Hailey Nelson, a primary care pediatrician at Valley Children's Hospital, and Dr. Amanda Suplee, a pediatric psychologist at Valley Children's, published an article in healthychildren.org with tips on how to help manage stress and anxiety.
Dr. Hailey Nelson
Nelson said she had reached out to Suplee in January when COVID cases were very high and she was receiving a high number of calls from distressed parents.
She recalls upset parents that had done everything to protect their children and yet now had COVID in their home.
"We really wanted to give them some coping measures," said Nelson. "Dr. Suple worked with me in really highlighting some of the tips for families as we continue to see more and more children who, unfortunately, are being impacted by COVID."
Said Suplee: "We've seen a significant increase in stress, anxiety, depression across the pandemic, and we want to be able to provide families with tips and strategies that they can use in their homes."
Talk About COVID Calmly
This time can be extremely stressful, but it's important to remain calm and set a thermostat on the conversation, the doctors say.
Parents should keep their tone of voice and body relaxed, while also allowing children to ask questions.
"The most important thing is, to be honest and have open conversations. I think a lot of times we want to shield our children from the scary things in the world and don't talk about it," said Suplee.

For older children, they can become distressed because they're missing out on schoolwork and hanging out with friends or going places.
Dr. Amanda Suplee
The doctors say it's important for parents to reassure their children that they are more than able to make up their schoolwork by contacting the teacher for missed assignments, and also giving them time to connect with friends through video calls, group video games, or encouraging them to make art projects to give to friends.
"We all do really well with a sense of control, but especially for children," said Suplee. "So if you say, I understand that this is really scary for you right now and these are the things that we can do to keep ourselves safe, this is what you're doing at school, this is what you're doing with your friends — that can give them some things to really focus on in the moment."
Help Them Manage Stress
Suplee says learning how to manage stress is key, and while it may seem exponentially harder to manage in a COVID environment that is constantly changing and full of unknowns, it's learning how to cope that will make the difference.
"Finding ways that your family can cope together is actually really helpful because then your children are going to learn like, this is what I do when I'm feeling worried and stressed, and this is what I do to take care of my body," said Suplee.
Dr. Hailey Nelson and Dr. Amanda Suplee advise parents to learn how to manage stress by looking for ways to stay connected and planning distracting activities while in quarantine. (GV Wire/Paul Marshall)
Talk About Prevention Measures
After almost two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nelson says many parents still have questions about the safety of the vaccines.
What helps, says Nelson is going over the numbers of how many vaccine doses have been administered can be reassuring.
"When we start to look at these really big numbers that a vaccine that's being monitored closely and we're not seeing adverse events in children that it really is safe, and it's effective, and it's preventing the things that we want to prevent to keep our children healthy," said Nelson.
Dr. Hailey Nelson and Dr. Amanda Suplee say there are many preventive measures to stay safe from COVID. Vaccines are the most effective. (GV Wire/Paul Marshall)

Terebratula schlotheimii was named by von Buch (1835). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Glücksbrunn, Thuringen, which is in a Wuchiapingian reef, buildup or bioherm reef rocks in the Zechstein Formation of Germany.
It was corrected as Terebratula schlotheimi by de Verneuil (1845); it was recombined as Camarophoria schlotheimi by King (1850), Howse (1857), Davidson (1858) and Geinitz (1861); it was recombined as Stenoscisma schlotheimi by Grant (1965).


"Watching television that day, I, like everyone else around the world, suffered a terrible shock: the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York. Stunned, I then had another shock when the bodies began to fall, because that was something that touched me personally. These falling bodies brought to life before my eyes on the screen precisely the pictorial problem that had concerned me since the 1960's. Occasionally suspended in stills, the bodies seemed, for an instant, to rise and then float in an indeterminate space."

She extends her hands and Baby slowly takes one step.
Awkwardly Baby takes another step reaching out to Mama's hand.
Baby takes one more step and begins to fall but ….
Mama embraces her smiling and together they rejoice.
Hesitantly we take a step tottering as we go.
As we take a step we begin to stumble.
And His arms surround us and pull us into His powerful embrace.
Whispering to our soul His words of love.
One step at a time…The Lord encourages us.
One step at a time…The Lord calls our name.
One step at a time..His arms outstretched.
One step at a time…He catches us when we fall.
One step at a time…He fills our hearts with the truth of His love.
One step at a time….He is forever near.
And sometimes we think we are so grown up!
Maybe that is the first step…realizing we are not as grown up as we think! God Bless you!
Thank you for readiing! God bless you!


The following was excerpted from a statement made on behalf of the National Vaccine Information Center at the Virginia General Assembly's Healthy Living Health Services Subcommittee meeting on Aug. 3, 2016 in Richmond, VA, where lawmakers are considering introducing legislation in 2017 to eliminate the religious vaccine exemption and restrict the medical exemption to narrow federal (CDC) vaccine contraindications.
When a child is brain injured or dies from a vaccine reaction, a disease—or for any reason—there are no words to take away the pain from the mother and father mourning for what will never be for their beloved child. Every life has value and that is why this conversation about "no exceptions" mandated use of vaccines, which are pharmaceutical products that are supposed to keep us well but can cause harm or fail to work, evokes such strong responses in people, no matter where we stand.
The General Assembly affirmed in 2013 that parents have "a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education and care" of their minor children. The Virginia Constitution affirms that every citizen is "equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience," and shall not be required to "support any religious worship" or undergo "any religious test whatsoever" to participate in society.
Freedom of religion is a civil liberty and so is the right to be educated, whether in home or in school. Freedom of religion and conscience in America means that we are allowed to have faith in God and hold personal religious beliefs that may or may not be part of an organized religion or established church without our civil liberties being taken away.
Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court have declared federally licensed and government mandated vaccines to be "unavoidably unsafe" and shielded drug companies and doctors from vaccine injury lawsuits. Under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, 3.5 billion dollars in federal compensation has been paid for vaccine injuries and deaths caused by government mandated vaccines.
Who has the moral authority to deny anyone the right to pray to God for guidance and obey our conscience when making a decision about a pharmaceutical product that can brain injure or end our life or our child's life?
While we are all born with equal rights under the law, biologically we are not born all the same. Vaccine risks are not being shared equally. Some of us are genetically and biologically more vulnerable to harm from prescription drugs and vaccines, and doctors cannot accurately predict who will be harmed because doctors, like all of us, are fallible. Medical science is not perfect, either. This why voluntary, informed consent to medical risk taking is recognized internationally as a human right guiding the ethical practice of medicine.
Utilitarian health policies that force everyone to be treated the same are cruel and immoral. Without flexible medical and religious exemptions, enforcement of one-size-fits all vaccine laws create fear and distrust of government and doctors.
Virginia has one of the lowest vaccine exemption rates in the nation, with 1.1 percent of children attending kindergarten exempted for medical or religious reasons. Where is the compelling state interest to discriminate against these families? Please reaffirm freedom of religion and conscience and the right of physicians to exercise professional judgment and conscience in the Commonwealth of Virginia by recommending that no change be made to current vaccine laws.

Please google "repeal immunity for vaccine makers" and sign the moveon petition to repeal the 1986 law that protects vaccine companies.
Unless this law is repealed, we the people will never have any control over what happens to our kids.
Please share with all your friends and family. Our legislators only care about the money they receive from Big Pharma, not the health of our children!!
I am a Christian … a Calvinist, to boot. For people to have faith in Christ, they must LIVE, and we must not permit our children to be destroyed, mentally and physically by the adjuvants, mercury, peste viruses, stealth viruses, MSG, broken DNA-frags etc which pervade MOST of our Vaccines.
This cannot be overstated : We cannot continue to have our children damaged or destroyed by Vaccines. Vaccines are the WORST way to acquire immunity against disease. Clean living spaces, potable water, healthy organic food, flush toilets, soap & water and antiseptics ACTUALLY prevent diseases. What you ingest has major healthful qualities in disease prevention. Also, breastfeeding infants, as opposed to toxic-formulae is God's WAY of nourishing our infants. Are we so arrogant as to think WE can improve on God's design? We better not be.
Beautifully and accurately put. Thank you!
I agree with you completely! Everyone should try to eat healthier and this would make a huge difference in our immune system and defeating disease.
Personally, I have been gluten free for 3 years, and eat only irganic food for the last 2 years. I have never felt better! You can't do it all at once though or it won't stick. It took me one year to go completely gluten free. Organic foods wasn't as difficult. Take care of your body and your body will take care of you!
BTW we don't need a religious exemption or any type of exemption. Anyone wanting to administer a vaccination requires the permission of the person or parent/guardian.
Nobody owns any one else.
We have the 100% equal inherent inalienable right of bodily intake and exclusion.
Uphold the United States Constitution's freedom of religion through maintaining religious exemption rights in Virginia. This right is critical to our country's basic civil liberties and identified by one of our great founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson in the Act for Religious Freedom.
At this point religious exemption is the only way we can fight this especially when aborted fetal cells and all kinds of other animal stuff/adjuvants are used to manufacture vacs. The ACLU should be right on top of this! Anyway, I'm an RN and fought mandatory hospital workplace flu vac 3 years ago and won! You don't have to belong to an organized religion to get an exemption. Atty. Alan Phillips was an instrumental resource along with the EEOC and CDC"S own material! We must stand up for ourselves. The hospital bureaucrats don't seem to know and/or care they are trampling on your civil rights and count on you not knowing that they are either. They are just the cogs in the wheel doing what they are told. They rely on intimidation and don't expect workers to fight back. We need to fight back with facts and the law and not back down!
The fact that the ACLU is NOT 'on top of this' should tell you all you need to know about that baloney organization of liars —-I mean, lawyers.
The courts and the lawyers are part of the system and part of the problem; not part of the solution.
I consider anyone forcing another person to undergo an unwanted physical procedure to their body or to the bodies of their dependents is committing assault and should be at the very least be prosecuted. There is NO moral argument for taking the right to control their own physical being away from an individual.
The people in the government, for the most part, are self-serving anti-Americans. The vaccine mandates and self-serving government protection of pharma companies are prime examples. Hillary Clinton getting away with having classified documents on an un-secure e-mail server is a recent example of unpunished lawlessness. Another is the EPA getting away with polluting the river in the State of Colorado. To charge them with assault for forced vaccinations probably would do no good. I can only pray for an answer to eliminate this fascism.
They should be asking the person, or parent/guardian, for permission before administering any vaccination.
I oppose the use illegal drugs, recreational drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, but because of this right, there should be no laws against these, but there should severe penalties for those causing property damage and harm while under the influence. This type of justice is required for those in free society.
This right is not specified directly in the US Constitution, but this right is "obvious". Without this right, those people with power can put anything in a person's body or keep anything out. Fascists will abuse us as is being done with the vaccination mandates and the unwarranted protection of vaccine manufacturers.
Eliminate this unwarranted protection of vaccine manufactures.
There are thousands of families that are fighting to save our children from the results of their children and grandchildren being destroyed by one vaccine or another. My granddaughter was one of those girls that lost her life just a few days after her third jab of the Gardasil vaccine. It is devastating not only to the family but friends as well. It has been eight years and the memory is still fresh in all our minds. Please keep fighting this war. Parents must be aware of what vaccines can do to our children. I tell every parent to do the research before any vaccine is given to their child or themselves. The CDC is only looking out for their pocketbooks.
I think preserving the vaccine exemption at all costs is the key to all our struggles on this issue. I am concerned that even if the extreme cases of vaccine injury were allowed to sue, what about the other children who suffer from food allergies or ADHD? Will their right to sue be respected as well? Sure there will be a ton of lawyers willing to jump on those cases, but would they do their job and help you win? Either way the lawyer gets paid. What about those who can't afford a good lawyer? They get stuck with the consequences of an ADHD or extreme food allergies with no compensation or support? I am concerned that progressives want to repeal the act that protects vaccine makers just so they can have an excuse to implement mandatory vaccinations. Any thoughts on that?
I see where you are going with this. In a perfect world where justice is absolute, you should be able to get a lawyer and win a case that allows everyone to benefit from your reinterpretation of the law. Once a case has been made and won, it sets a precedence for future claims. But what if you get a bad lawyer who pretends to do his job just so he can get a pay check? What if your judge and jury is being manipulated by Big Pharma? What if you can't afford the lawyer that will win it for you? What if the lawyer that could do the job won't take your case? What if I don't care if it's possible to make vaccines safer by suing Big Pharma? If they fraudulently prove that vaccines are safe in court then you wasted all your money on the lawyer for nothing. The results of such a case could mean that mandatory vaccinations would be enforced; it's like opening Pandora's box. I wish I could be more optimistic, but you need to account for the possibility that the justice system could be corrupt. Somehow you have to get a very rich person to fight this fight, someone who has no intention of losing but has money to lose if that happens. In the meantime vaccine exemption should be preserved no matter what the outcome of the potential lawsuits. I know you have to start somewhere, but we need to make sure we don't lose the ground that we already have with the vaccine exemptions.
To d: the status of vaccines must be changed from biological to pharmaceutical as I understand it, to make these pharma criminals accountable. The reason that these giant iatrogenic drug makers came running to congress after the original swine flu debacle was the result of 1,000's, 100's of thousands of lawsuits against them. It was a deal made then that's lasted all these years with the setting in place of the vaccine injury court. Which is a rouse and congress knew it then. This is the way of corrupt USA politics! And internationally under capitalist democracy.
To g: I don't think "progressives" are channeled in any direct effort or in some coordinated way to achieve mandatory vaccinations by way of eliminating protections for the pharma clique. That, at least to me is extreme twisted logic. Eliminating these protections would rather I believe force these profit mongering pharma ceo's to either admit their vaccines are completely non-efficacious and a lie and/or clean them up and force true clinical studies exposing the dangerous ingredients due to the hundreds of thousands of individual and class action law suits that would immediately ensue against them. The only reason that any prostitute politician of either party do anything is to ensure the steady flow of campaign contributions and the perks lifestyle they come to know.
Many doctors recommend a delayed vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot. These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.
I would like to invite the eminent persons of your company as an Keynote Speaker to our conference "Global Vaccines and Vaccination Summit and B2B" during November 1-2, 2017 at Toronto, Canada.

In 2011 Alina was requested to meet the Prime Minister of Belize's wife Kim Barrow. She was asked to meet her at the orphanage where she was adopted from in Belize. The First Lady was doing a documentary on children in Belize and wanted to feature Alina for the documentary.
It was a real pleasure for Alina to meet her and tell her about the first girls camp that was taking place that summer.


L-Ascorbyl-2-sulfate has equal antiscorbutic activity as L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate for tilapia, Oreochromis niloticusxO.
Like vitamin C, for which the optimum dose for general health is much higher than the antiscorbutic intake, vitamin D does far more than prevent rickets or osteoporosis.
vitamin C, they have my express permission to do so--or hexuronic acid or antiscorbutic vitamin or missing stress hormone.
Despite the advanced development and technology in navigation, shipbuilding, cartography, and even the use of empirical antiscorbutic preventive dietary measures in China during the Ming era (1368-1644) (10), the Chinese seagoing expeditions led by Admiral Zheng He (1371-1433) suffered from extremely heavy casualties and were finally discontinued (10).
In the 17th century, British herbalist John Evelyn added antiscorbutic, or scurvy-preventing, to mustard's curative properties, unaware of the vitamin C that made it true.
All were bought in the local markets, as was citrus fruit once this had been recognised as a valuable antiscorbutic.
