lycolic acid is perhaps the best-known of a group of chemicals called fruit acids or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). It is a superficial peeling agent, derived from sugar cane, so it can be considered a natural product. Citric acid, from oranges and other citrus fruits, also falls under the same classification as glycolic acid.
Glycolic acid is used to improve the skin's appearance and texture. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the alpha-hydroxy-acids (AHA) due to its excellent capability to penetrate the skin.
Once applied, glycolic acid reacts with the upper layer of the skin, weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold the dead skin cells together. This allows the dead skin cells to be exfoliated, exposing live skin cells. The result is a much-smoother skin surface and a more youthful appearance. A secondary benefit is glycolic acid's ability to draw moisturizers into the newly-exfoliated skin surface. This is why a professional glycolic treatment will be followed by neutralizing and moisturizing serums and creams. It's also why cosmetic counters often sell a complete system of skin care to counteract the corrosive actions of glycolic acid.
Cosmetic exfoliants and moisturizers containing glycolic acid may leave the skin especially sensitive to the sun, so many skin care experts recommend using a sunscreen after exfoliating with glycolic acid.
Glycolic acid is found in skin care products in a variety of strengths ranging from 10 – 15% concentrations for over-the-counter products, and 15-70% concentrations in products used by professional Estheticians and Dermatologists. Most salons use AHA exfoliation treatments with solutions ranging from 15-35% glycolic acid concentration. Some proponents of glycolic acid suggest that products with a glycolic acid concentration of less than 10% are practically useless. Concentrations of 70% are considered chemically hazardous and are rarely used.
Depending on the strength of the glycolic acid concentration and the pH (an important factor), glycolic acid can be used to achieve either a superficial, medium or deep peel.
Superficial peels remove only the dead cells of the skin – a process most often referred to as exfoliation.
Medium depth peels remove skin cells deeper into the dermal layer exposing living cells and often requires 10-12 days to heal.
Deep acid peels are medically performed, surgical peels, that remove living tissue and is usually reserved for severely sun damaged, wrinkled for acne-scarred, skin. Healing and recovery time can be significant.
A professional concentration of 35% glycolic acid will work beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Working below the surface there is generally very little visible peeling and with repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs over time.
Glycolic acid is effective for treating eczema and dermatitis, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks and is excellent for general toning and for improving the texture of the skin. Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars and oily skin.
If buying an over-the-counter glycolic acid product, it's important to pay attention to the pH concentration. In professional strength peels, the Ph will be as low as 0.6, whereas, over-the-counter products will have a pH concentration of as much as 2.5.

PM "GONE MAD" OVER NDP POLLING- SAYS NDP VICE PRESIDENT
One of the architects of the New Democratic Party (NDP) campaign for 2020 has claimed that any reasonable person would adduce evidence from the hyper-activity of Prime Minister Gonsalves that he has "gone mad".
The Central Kingstown MP who recently sat down with On D Spot host J.P Schwmon said, "Do you know of a day of the week that Gonsalves is not speaking on some radio station? The man on the street will say that's a Prime Minister who has gone mad".
"He is uncomfortable. If the evidence was abounding that he was doing so well, I don't think he will be so consumed with daily messaging" says the NDP Vice President
In recent weeks, commentators have noted that Prime Minister Gonsalves has been defending the government and his political party, the Unity Labour Party (ULP) on many different radio stations almost on a daily basis.

Former Prime Minister Sir James Mitchell suggested recently that new polling by the NDP shows that Opposition Leader Dr. Hon. Godwin Friday is doing much better than former leader Arnhim Eustace in a head to head with PM Gonsalves.
"Yes, it is true for quite some time now that the polls have been showing that Dr. Friday is a preferred leader over Gonsalves in the national polls" says Leacock who once said he was the best person to lead the party.
Commenting on the polls, a relaxed Leacock continued, "We have an extremely good inhouse pollster. I have measured him by my scientific experience. He is by subjective and objective measures as good as any that you can import from outside".
The New Democratic Party (NDP) has started its election campaign with a promise to increase the intensity in the months ahead.
Elections are widely expected to be held by December 2020.

Brazilian photographer Mario Cravo Neto was born in Bahia in 1947. As a child the influence of mixed cultures and religions, typical of that area of Brazil, deeply affects his imagery. Neto has always been in strict contact with the art world: his father was a renewed sculptor, and the extensive travels to Europe give to a young Mario the chance to see masterworks from the most important art collections. Neto portraits people in interiors with dark light: subjects emerge from the obscurity and create in the viewer a sense of wonder, as they unveil the melting pot of cultures and religious beliefs: his photos have the unquestionable characteristic to take the viewer into a long journey back to the cultural roots of Brazil.

It is clear from the scale of yesterday's largely peaceful demonstrations and occupations across Britain that there is an enormous amount of concern amongst young people – school children and university students – over the future of higher education. They are not alone.
There is a growing sense of unease in academic circles about what the Browne report's plans to increase undergraduate tuition fees by almost six thousand pounds per year will mean. More specifically, how will a marketised 'supply and demand' model for arts and humanities funding really function in practice? The proposed withdrawal of the teaching grant for arts and humanities and the replacement of this lost revenue with a user fee would have devastating effects leading to the loss of jobs, institutions and expertise that would not be recovered once they had been cut.
Education and research institutions cannot be set up, shut down and restarted according to the vagaries of market demand. British universities do not benefit from the enormous endowments of American institutions, which can help them adapt to change. With so much uncertainty about future employment prospects and economic conditions, student numbers will ebb and flow. How can university vice-chancellors, deans of faculties and heads of departments plan their research and teaching on such shifting ground? Higher education needs much greater stability and continuity, and the long-term consequences of ill-conceived change could be immensely damaging.
As many of us have argued, it is essential to restate the wider social, intellectual, moral and political values of the arts and humanities, as well as point out the falsity of any division between arts and humanities on the one side and supposedly economically valuable sciences on the other. In short, we must recognise that humanities matter, just as we have acknowledged that 'science is vital'. However, as well as making these wider arguments the immediate political context in which this government is proposing to implement reforms in higher education remains a central problem.
In its response to the Browne report the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) – a respected independent think tank – has pointed out that "in cash terms the proposals will increase public expenditure through this parliament and into the next". This is a very obvious fact that is too frequently ignored. The fee that students pay is not 'up front', but has to be funded by the government. They will effectively be given a loan to purchase a higher education product. The income stream from repayments – which is supposed to form the long term basis for higher education funding – will not come back to the treasury for many years to come.
This completely demolishes the argument that current changes to higher education funding are concurrent with a deficit reduction strategy in the spirit of "we are all in this together". The changes will mean a real terms increase in government spending, and hence can only be explained by reference to the coalition's ideological commitment to market-led reforms, regardless of the cost to the public purse. Regrettably, government ministers have repeatedly made rhetorical links between increasing tuition fees and deficit reduction, and the media has too frequently allowed this fallacy to inform its reporting and its lines of questioning.
Under present circumstances the government must think again about seeking to push through reforms which may do very substantial damage to our higher education sector. There is no economic case to be made that these reforms are part of an urgent solution to reducing Britain's budget deficit. Given the promises made by coalition partners at the 2010 general election, there is also no political mandate for change. There is widespread fear, anger and confusion.
An alternative idea is to draw back from reform based on the Browne report and opt for a Public Commission. This may be politically difficult, but will become more palatable if opposition to the coalition's plans is increased from all sides. It is unfortunate that public money has already been spent on producing a report into this matter, but Browne is a wholly inadequate basis on which to move forward. It is also clear that all three major political parties need to take more time to re-think their positions on higher education funding.
The government should therefore set up a Public Commission to examine the function and funding of higher education from first principles. Only such a move could produce the kind of consensus required to make reform deliverable and place the future of UK higher education on a sustainable footing.

Translating Visions
World of WearableArt is looking for artists and designers to to blur the lines between fashion and fine art with their annual competition. Speaking with Aesthetica, they discuss the global awards and what they're looking for.
A: What inspired the start of the World of WearableArt Awards, and how have they progressed over the years?
WOW: The World of WearableArt (WOW) had modest beginnings; the first Awards Show took place back in 1987 under a rain-soaked marquee in Nelson, New Zealand. Local sculptor and WOW Founder, Dame Suzie Moncrieff, first came up with the idea of the World of WearableArt Awards as a means of promoting a rural co-operative art gallery; by taking art off the wall and displaying it on the human body within a theatrical production. A very radical concept at the time.
Over the years, WOW has grown into an internationally renowned competition that attracts entries from over 40 countries each year. Today garments come from across the globe and are brought to life on stage in front of an audience of over 60,000 people.
Finalist garments go on a journey unlike any other competition. These works of art are brought to life on stage in the annual Awards Show, an extravagant theatrical show like no other, that runs for three weeks each year in Wellington, New Zealand. Following the Show season, the garments then head to Nelson, New Zealand where they go on exhibition at the National WOW Museum. There are also a selection of garments that are part of our touring International Exhibition, which has visited six museums in four countries around the world, and is currently in St. Petersburg, Russia.
WOW offers not only prize money (a total prize pool of NZD187,500) but also profile and promotion of designers' works, networking opportunities, and access to exclusive international internships and residencies. Our world has continued to grow over the past 31 years and alongside that, the creativity of the designers has continued to go from strength-to-strength.
Additionally, the World of WearableArt brings together a global community of designers; from the worlds of fashion, textile or industrial design, jewellery, architecture, engineering, sculpture and painting, or homemaking. This opportunity to network with so many other designers from around the world is truly unique. It's a community that continues to inspire each other through their love of wearable art, and that really helps in driving the innovation and creativity we see each year.
A: The Awards call for artists and designers to translate their vision to the stage – combining vision and craftsmanship. How do the Awards traverse fashion, design and technology?
When designers first enter the World of WearableArt Awards, they tell us that they have finally found a home for their work that doesn't quite fit into one of the "traditional" worlds or industries – their work isn't explicitly fashion, nor is it quite conventional art. WOW is an outlet where these forward-thinking garments can really come into their own, where the traditional rules don't apply.
The development of technology has been a huge influence on what we see on our stage today. From innovative use of 3D printing, to experimenting with new techniques and extraordinary materials that weren't even around 31 years ago, we're seeing how our designers are embracing technology to push their imagination even further.
Since its inception, the World of WearableArt has been embracing the worlds of art, design and fashion and bringing them together into a theatrical performance. For over thirty years, we've been driven to break down the expected boundaries of these worlds and see what is possible when all worlds collide. Of course, the advantage of embracing this collision is that we see work that is more exciting and more innovative, and consequently designers go on to be innovators in their chosen fields, continuing to create cutting-edge work and question the traditions and expectations of the industry.
A: What types of materials have the entrants used in the past?
WOW: The very nature of the competition, creating works of art that must be wearable, means that we are consistently blown away by the innovative choice of materials used in the garments. We've seen an extraordinary selection of materials over the years; from the inner tubes of bicycle tyres, to hundreds of metres of VCR tapes.
It's always impressive when designers work with more conventional materials but manipulate them in unexpected ways. The 2009 Supreme WOW Award-winning garment, Lady of the Wood(David Walker, United States) was an 18thcentury ballgown created using mahogany and lacewood, with 52 strips of maple and cedar for the skirt and topped with a wig made of wood shavings! Truly anything that is wearable art can find a place on the stage as long as it is original, innovative and well executed.
A: Are there any particular themes that occur each year?
WOW: Each year we ask designers to be inspired by one of the six worlds that will make up the World of WearableArt Awards. There are three recurring Sections; Aotearoa, Avant-gardeand Openand three Sections unique to 2019; Mythology, Transformand White.
A: What have been some your stand-out entries, and what are you hoping to see this year?
WOW: There have been too many incredible entries over the years to single any out. We never really know what we'll see in any given competition year but what we do know is we'll be astonished by what the designers dream up. Just when we think we've seen it all, another entry comes in that completely staggers us!
Entries are now open for the 2019 World of WearableArt Awards.

A wedding is one of the most fun days you can spend with your friends and family. Either you're committing to the person you love in a beautiful ceremony or you get to watch as two people join together to love and support one another for the rest of their lives. There are tons of great times to be had at weddings — you get to smile and enjoy food and drinks and chat with friends and family and you get to dance. For a lot of people, a wedding is one of the few times during the year that they get to get out on the floor and enjoy dancing.
If you're getting married this year, or you have a bunch of weddings to attend, get ready by taking some dance lessons with us at Fred Astaire Dance Studio here in Reston! We can teach you how to have fun with tons of different dance styles. From the waltz to the flamenco to the foxtrot to swing and so many more, we can make you one of the high points of the wedding for anyone who was there. Get in touch to find out how we can get you ready to strut your stuff! Need more reasons why dance lessons are a great idea before wedding season starts? Read on!
Everyone knows that dancing is fun. Even the people who say that they don't like to dance are definitely two-stepping around their kitchen when a good song starts playing on their phone! If you take dance lessons not only are you learning a fun new skill, you're also making sure that you aren't the grump who refuses to dance with their date and you're also helping yourself feel more confident. Dancing is a skill that everyone admires but very few take the next step. Enjoy yourself while also being the envy of all the sticks-in-the-mud who would rather sit around instead of enjoying themselves and joining in the celebration.
Not only will you become the person that others aspire to be, you're also becoming a better you. In addition to the increase in confidence we mentioned before, dancing also makes you healthier. Learning to dance and keeping up with it is hard work but it is a heck of a lot more fun than running on a treadmill in a crowded gym. When you learn how to dance you're becoming a part of a community that encourages one another to improve their skills and their health.

British F.M. is first to visit Saudia Arabia since Khashoggi murder
British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt will visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Monday to press for an end to the war in Yemen and to call on Saudi leaders to cooperate with an investigation into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The visit comes at a time when Riyadh, already under scrutiny for civilian deaths in Yemen air strikes, is facing global criticism and potential sanctions over the murder of Khashoggi at its Istanbul consulate on Oct. 2.
Britain has called for a "credible" investigation into Khashoggi and has pushed for new action at the United Nations Security Council to try to end hostilities in Yemen and find a political solution to the war there.
"The human cost of war in Yemen is incalculable: with millions displaced, famine and disease rife and years of bloodshed, the only solution is now a political decision to set aside arms and pursue peace," Hunt said in a statement.
"So today I am traveling to the Gulf to demand that all sides commit to this process."
The foreign ministry said Hunt would meet Saudi Arabia's King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, Yemeni Vice President Ali Mohsen and Foreign Minister Khaled Al Yamani.
Hunt, the first British minister to visit Saudi Arabia since the murder of Khashoggi a month ago, will also call on the Saudi authorities to do more to deliver justice and accountability for his family.
"The international community remain united in horror and outrage at the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi one month ago. It is clearly unacceptable that the full circumstances behind his murder still remain unclear," he said.
"We encourage the Saudi authorities to cooperate fully with the Turkish investigation into his death, so that we deliver justice for his family and the watching world."

Staying vigilant to deter vandalism, thefts
By Meghan Horton
Sgt. Josh Mecimore of the Chapel Hill Police Department knows that his town — the so called "Southern Part of Heaven" — is not crime-ridden. Still, Mecimore warns residents, retailers and school administrators to stay as vigilant as ever to deter trespassers, vandalism and thefts.
In the first three weeks of May, there have been 16 larceny, trespassing and vandalism incidents reported to the Chapel Hill Police Department. The nature and frequency of these incidents has many Chapel Hill residents and business owners concerned.
Stephen Elkins-Williams, rector at The Chapel Of the Cross in Chapel Hill, reported a larceny on May 19 that happened in the church. Rebecca Lynn Santin, 21, found $400 missing from her purse when she and other Orange County Habitat for Humanity volunteers returned from working in the community.
The volunteers were staying at the church last weekend as a stop during their 70 day cross-country Bike and Build program.
"They slept on the floor here in the church and while they were out working, unfortunately somebody passed through the building and scooped up her money," Elkins-Williams said.
Mecimore says that these kinds of incidents happen all the time and any type of establishment or person can be at risk.
"Larcenies of cell phones, computers, wallets and even bicycles are common because most of these items are of high value. When people have these items in public places, people who are going to steal have a greater opportunity to do so, especially if a victim is not paying attention," said Mecimore.
A number of trespassing incidents have also been reported to the police department in the last three weeks. These reports include trespassers on school campuses and suspicious individuals being in and around businesses.
East Chapel Hill High school reported a trespassing on campus May 18 but details of the incident are still under investigation.
"Typically high school's don't have security, so after hours they can't do much to stop trespassing. If you happen to be out at the school though and see something suspicious then you should definitely call us. It's always better than not calling and then we later find out that someone was spray painting the side of the building or something," Mecimore said.
Starbucks employee Jeremy Ray reported a trespassing at the Franklin Street coffee shop involving an individual who damaged the property.
"A homeless guy came into the store and used our restroom. He left the bathroom with feces all over the place and a big mess," Ray said.
Officer Mark Geercken of the Chapel Hill Police Department's Community Services Unit said, "If somebody comes into a business and the owner or manager doesn't want them there or they're damaging the property, then the owner legally has the right to ask that person to leave. This has to be done in front of a Chapel Hill Police officer and then we can log it as trespassing."
Geercken says the trespassing log is important because if the same person trespasses at a business more than once and there is a different responding officer than the first time, then the log is checked. The perpetrator's name will show up, and the officer can see that the individual ha been asked to leave previously.
"If someone has been known to trespass at a particular location multiple times we will either write them a citation or arrest them," said Geercken.
Thefts and vandalism to property are incidents Geercken and Mecimore say the Community Services Unit is paying special attention to.
"We conduct training with employees from individual businesses so they can be more aware of shoplifters and suspicious individuals in their stores," said Geercken. "We'll go out with people and do what we call security surveys. They take us around their property and we make suggestions about improving windows, locks, security systems, lighting and other things."
Mecimore says they advise owners to trim bushes down below windows and improve lighting outside of their business.
"We call this concept environmental design and it's a useful practice for crime prevention in the community. Vandalism to businesses can be deterred more if owners have good lighting and visibility around their place," said Mecimore.
Mark Geercken said community members helping out when the police aren't patrolling neighborhoods most often deters vandalism and thefts in residential areas.
"A lot of folks in the neighborhoods have community watches and put signs up showing that their neighborhoods are being actively vigilant against threats," said Geercken.
According to police reports, Karupiah Jayaraj, 65, of Chapel Hill reported vandalism and damage amounting to $200 to his mailbox in a residential neighborhood on May 17.
Mecimore said, "There isn't a whole lot that someone can do to stop this kind of incident from happening, but when it does typically we just take a report documenting the damage. If there was a series of these, then we would know they are related and make our officers aware of what to be on the look out for."
Although none of the incidents reported to the Chapel Hill Police since May 2 have been found to be connected, Geercken said the number and nature of these occurrences are keeping the Community Services Unit busy.
"The police department has an overall plan to help Chapel Hill residents and business owners live more safely. We're really implementing now more than ever community policing," said Geercken. "We want our officers walking and talking with business owners and the general public in the community letting them know of our presence and that we're here to help however we can."

handle = ref.child("Places/America/Capital/Washington/Coordinates").observe(.value, with: { (snapshot) in
    for child in snapshot.children {
        let theSnap = child as! DataSnapshot
        let theValue = theSnap.value as! Double
        print(theValue)
    }

This prints the coordinates perfectly. But is there any way I can get all the coordinates in my Database? Am I laying out the Database wrong or what syntax should I use in order to get all data that has latitude and longitude in it?

edit 1
Is there no easy way of doing a for-in loop instead of just copying the handle line and changing the necessary file path?

A: You are so very close.
The path you specified (the Firebase Reference) is for a specific set of coordinates at a coordinate node. You then iterate over the two child nodes within Coordinates which prints the latitude and longitude child nodes.
If you want to get the coords for all, you need to go up a few levels and use the same technique to iterate over the child nodes.
It's a bit hard to wrap your brain around at first so let me give you a leg up. Here's the complete code and the output. Note that I stored the coords as int's so adjust accordingly. I would probably suggest storing them as strings.
let placesRef = self.ref.child("Places")
placesRef.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
    for countryChild in snapshot.children { //iterate over each country
        let countryChildSnap = countryChild as! DataSnapshot //cast the child to a snapshot
        let countryName = countryChildSnap.key //get it's key, the country name
        print("country: \(countryName)")
        let capitalSnap = countryChildSnap.childSnapshot(forPath: "Capital") //get the nodes within the capital node
        for stateChild in capitalSnap.children { //iterate over each state within the country
            let stateChildSnap = stateChild as! DataSnapshot
            let stateName = stateChildSnap.key
            print("  state: \(stateName)")
            let coordsSnap = stateChildSnap.childSnapshot(forPath: "Coordinates")
            let lat = coordsSnap.childSnapshot(forPath: "latitude").value as! Int
            let lon = coordsSnap.childSnapshot(forPath: "longitude").value as! Int
            print("    latitude: \(lat)  longitude: \(lon)")
        }
    }
})

and the output
country: America
  state: Washington
    latitude: 38  longitude: -77
country: France
  state: Paris
    latitude: 48  longitude: 2
country: Germany
  state: Berlin
    latitude: 52  longitude: 13

Note that I only want to read this once so I am using .observeSingleEvent. If you want to be notified of future changes, leverage .observe with .childAdded, .childChanged and .childRemoved.

Jeanie Miley, Special to San Angelo Standard-Times Published 4:33 p.m. CT Dec. 29, 2017

On Dec. 30, 1967, Martus Miley and I stood before family and friends and said our wedding vows. Our fathers, both ministers, officiated at the ceremony, and they told us they had tied the knot tight enough to last.
Looking back, I still cannot believe what strangers we were, standing at that altar, daring to pledge ourselves to each other for the rest of our lives!
What did we know about forever then?
I look back on our young faces in the wedding pictures, and reflect on how we started out together, with every belief that the road ahead would be a happy one, and that we could figure out how to handle whatever curves or bumps in the road might be in our way.
Our "belief" was full of youthful innocence; our hopes were based more on anticipation than anything else.
What I didn't know then, was that while the marriage license was signed by all the right people, and our vows were said with as much sincerity as our young lives could muster at the time, the truth is that the wedding was merely the entrance point to marriage.
In every legal, social and religious way, we were married when we left that church in a blaze of rice and freezing rain.
What we were to experience was the process of becoming married. Becoming married happens over time.
It happens as a couple learns to live together, make decisions together, resolve conflicts and forgive each other. Marriage is hammered out on the anvil of time, and while it is common to say that a couple is stronger after having endured hard times, that isn't always the way things work out.
Sometimes life is too hard for the fragile relationship, or the choices of the couple eat away at the threads, which have bound them together. Some marriages break under the stresses and strains of daily living.
Perhaps some were simply wrong, or doomed, from the beginning.
In 1967, the world and its social and cultural, religious and political forces were about to be tested by the hot fires of ideologies, technologies, radicals, change-agents and rebels in every field.
Who could have imagined that the very definitions of marriage and family could have been challenged and stretched as they have been? Who could have seen what sea changes would impact every part of our lives?
As a woman told me twenty-five years ago, "Honey, everything you thought was nailed down has done come undone."
And yet, through these years, the archetypal need to belong to a family, the family values that shaped our childhood and youth, the priority we gave to commitment, loyalty, perseverance and stamina burned strong enough to provide the necessary melding of two strong-willed human beings.
The vision of what brought us together in the first place kept the necessary affection alive, and so it has been that through thick or thin, we have arrived at this place that shocks me — not because we made it to the 50th anniversary — but because it happened so soon.
The "I love you" I said 50-years ago was as fervent and sincere as my young mind could imagine, and heart could muster, but the "I love you" I say today is full of strength and meaning built over a lifetime; patience learned day-by-day, forgiveness given and received, not just seventy-times seven, but in numbers I can't fathom.
The "I love you" I speak today can barely be said without tears of gratitude, wonder and awe, that day-by-day, and by the grace of God, we have woven together a tapestry called "marriage."
Our tapestry has bold and pale colors, rich tones, and a few odd colors, but woven throughout are threads of gold, which represent our children and friends, the memories, the experiences, the exquisite joy along the way.
I am profoundly grateful for the journey.

While I'm at it, here's another Top 10 list (Letterman style). I should point out that I'm not being serious this time...well, not really.
10. Each time you ask which systems need to be part of the Federation project, the person in charge says that the Borgs from Microsoft land and the Romulans from (insert random vendor here) are going to take some convincing.
9. The executive sponsor for your project actually carries a toy light saber to your meetings in case they need to "unleash the force" on the team (see my previous post for this reference to make sense).
8. The answer to every problem seems to be "why don't we use that darned Meta-Directory synchronisation thingamajiggy"?
7. The company implementing your project replaces their whole team and you don't notice for a week (note: this might actually happen if you go with a large multinational consulting company).
6. You ring the sales guy who sold you the software and his voice mail says he's on indefinite leave in the Bahamas.
5. You try the vendor's support number and it says they're in the Bahamas with the sales guy.
4. The help desk asks if you would like your head to be provisioned up where the sun don't shine when you call to say you can't reset your password.
3. When you click on the "I forgot my password" link, you're presented with a screen that says "Go look in the configuration file for the master password and reset your own damn password".
2. Your vendor says there will be a delay on the media (DVDs/CDs) because the police raided the warehouse yesterday and it'll take them time to burn you a new set in the "back shed".
You actually believed that everything you saw in the product demonstration would work in your environment without customisation.
Well don't use vendor kit, use Open Source, i.e. OpenLDAP.

The National Retail Federation today urged the House to reject amendments calling for 100 percent inspection of U.S.-bound air and ocean cargo, saying the proposals would disrupt commerce and are too unworkable to significantly improve security. NRF said action on the amendments, which could come today, would be counted as key votes in NRF's annual ranking of lawmakers on issues important to the retail industry.
WASHINGTON, D.C., — The National Retail Federation today urged the House to reject amendments calling for 100 percent inspection of U.S.-bound air and ocean cargo, saying the proposals would disrupt commerce and are too unworkable to significantly improve security. NRF said action on the amendments, which could come today, would be counted as key votes in NRF's annual ranking of lawmakers on issues important to the retail industry.
Pfister noted that the Transportation Security Administration and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection currently employ a risk-based approach in targeting potentially high-risk cargo by screening content lists before arrival in the United States and inspecting any cargo identified as a potential security risk.
"Rather than a 100 percent inspection system that cannot be implemented and merely offers a false sense of security, we strongly support building upon this multi-tiered, risk-based system as the most effective and realistic means to safeguard the nation's freight transportation system," Pfister said.
The House today is scheduled to consider H.R. 5441, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, sponsored by Representative Harold Rogers, R-Ky. During consideration of the bill, Representative Ed Markey, D-Mass., is expected to offer two amendments, one that would require 100 percent inspection of all U.S.-bound ocean cargo and another requiring the same for air cargo.
The House Homeland Security Committee rejected a similar Markey amendment on ocean cargo in April when he attempted to attach it to a larger port security bill. The full House then voted down a motion offered by Representative Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., that would have sent the bill back to committee because it lacked the Markey language. The House ultimately passed the port bill after approving an amendment that called for a pilot program to test screening and scanning technology.
U.S. retailers, who import merchandise from around the world, are among the nation's largest shippers of both air and sea cargo.
The National Retail Federation is the world's largest retail trade association, with membership that comprises all retail formats and channels of distribution including department, specialty, discount, catalog, Internet, independent stores, chain restaurants, drug stores and grocery stores as well as the industry's key trading partners of retail goods and services. NRF represents an industry with more than 1.4 million U.S. retail establishments, more than 23 million employees - about one in five American workers - and 2005 sales of $4.4 trillion. As the industry umbrella group, NRF also represents more than 100 state, national and international retail associations. www.nrf.com.

Leo Strauss in Northeast Asia
Jun-Hyeok Kwak
Sungwoo Park
Published June 30, 2021 by Routledge
Book Description Table of Contents Editor(s) Instructor Resources Support Material
This book analyzes the reception of Leo Strauss and his political philosophy in Northeast Asia. By juxtaposing the central idea of Strauss's political philosophy with the question of modernity, the contributors explore the eclectic adaptations of Strauss in Northeast Asian countries as a philosophical appropriation across cultures.
Examining how Strauss's philosophy was first introduced in Northeast Asia, the book sheds light on the similarities and differences in experiences, challenging the dominant approach which attributes various receptions of Strauss in Northeast Asia solely to sociopolitical circumstances. This book also seeks to move beyond a China-centric approach to investigate the possible transcultural appeals of Strauss's political philosophy by exploring the cases of Japan and South Korea.
Appealing to a wide network of scholars and practitioners in East Asia engaged in rethinking cultural particularities, this volume will be attractive to upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and advanced researchers in political philosophy, political theory, and Asian politics.

Apple is said to be working on its own augmented reality glasses, much like Google's failed Glass device or Microsoft's HoloLens headset.
Bloomberg claims that the project is still in the "exploration phase", but plans are that a device would connect to an iPhone and wirelessly show images and information in a wearer's field of vision.
Tim Cook has publicly revealed his love of augmented reality before. The Apple boss talked about the tech during a conference call with analysts this summer: "AR can be really great, and we have been and continue to invest a lot in this," he said.
"We are high on AR for the long run. We think there are great things for customers and a great commercial opportunity."
Bloomberg's sources say that, should Apple continue with the project, it'll be at least 2018 before any working device is unveiled. It's also worth remembering that Apple considers many areas to expand into, with few seeing the light of day. The Apple car or television set anyone?
We hope that if Apple does stick with the tech it goes back to its traditional naming convention and calls the new device iGlasses. Or could it be iSpecs? iSpecs so.

Columbia to Produce Obama Presidential Oral History
by Lisa Peet
The Obama Foundation selected the Columbia Center for Oral History Research, at New York's Columbia University, to produce the official oral history of Barack Obama's eight-year presidency. Working in collaboration with the University of Hawai'i's Center for Oral History and the University of Chicago, the Columbia Center for Oral History will conduct the Obama Presidency Oral History Project over the next five years
The Obama Foundation selected the Columbia Center for Oral History Research (CCOHR), at New York's Columbia University, to produce the official oral history of Barack Obama's eight-year presidency. Working in collaboration with the University of Hawai'i's Center for Oral History, which will contribute material from Obama's early life, and the University of Chicago, which will focus on Barack and Michelle Obama's lives in Chicago, the Columbia Center for Oral History (CCOH)—which brings together CCOHR and the Oral History Archives at Columbia, part of Columbia University Libraries—will conduct the Obama Presidency Oral History Project over the next five years.
The project, launched on July 1, is expected to include interviews with some 400 people and generate 1,200 hours of audio and video recordings. Interviewees will include members of the Obama administration, as well as other key public figures, plus more than 100 "ordinary citizens"—people whose letters were read by Obama, who met him as he traveled the country, and whose prison sentences he commuted. Michelle Obama's work and legacy as First Lady will also be incorporated. The resulting archive will offer a comprehensive record of "the decisions, actions, and effects" of Obama's two terms in office.
CCOH director Mary Marshall Clark will be a coinvestigator for the project, working with Peter Bearman, Jonathan R. Cole Professor of the Social Sciences and director of Columbia's Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics, and Kimberly Springer, curator of Columbia's Oral History Archives. The lead interviewer will be Terrell Frazier, a PhD student in sociology, Paul F. Lazarsfeld Fellow, and 2016 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar. The project's Advisory Board includes presidential historians and authors Robert Dallek and Douglas Brinkley, journalists Michele Norris and Ira A. Lipman Professor of Journalism Jelani Cobb, and other scholars of history, political science, sociology, and public health.
While the Obama Foundation will provide any needed information on the inner workings of the White House and the Obamas' background histories, Columbia will have full editorial control over the project's execution and has committed to dedicating all resources necessary for the project. At its completion, Columbia and the Obama Foundation will hold joint ownership of the materials, which will be publicly accessible online at Columbia and the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago no later than 2026. The Obama Foundation will also explore opportunities to connect the archive with related collections and content, including digital records of the presidency administered by the National Archives.
COLUMBIA'S TRACK RECORD
The Obama Foundation first contacted The Columbia Center for Oral History (CCOH) in August 2018 to ask that Columbia consider submitting a proposal for the project. "They were interested in us partly because we had done such a wide array of different kinds of interviewing," Clark told LJ. "The history and memory that we already have in our collection was, I think, a very big draw."
Founded in 1948, CCOH is the country's largest and oldest oral history archive, holding more than 11,000 recorded interviews and 25,000 hours of transcripts. Among many other historically significant projects, CCOH conducted the Dwight D. Eisenhower History Project; Eisenhower was president of the university from 1948 to 1952 (Obama is a 1983 Columbia graduate).
"When we thought about how oral history might help document the Obama presidency, there were a couple of different things that we wanted to get out of it that drew us to Columbia," said Chris Liddell-Westefeld, Oral History Project Manager at the Obama Foundation. "There's a longstanding tradition of Columbia's archives being a rich resource for historians."
CCOH's strengths go beyond its early focus on leaders in politics and government, however; its work now incorporates interviews with people from all walks of life, such as its September 11, 2001 Oral History Projects—and this attracted the Obama Foundation's interest as well.
"If you look at the story of the Obama presidency, what you see again and again is the importance that ordinary people play in both the workings of the White House and the workings of the president's campaigns," Liddell-Westefeld told LJ. "If you go back to [Obama's] announcement speech in Springfield in 2007, he talks about how a big piece of the campaign is the role ordinary people can play in changing their world…. We wanted to make sure, in thinking about this project, that those voices could also be included, as well as people who had conversations every day with the president and Mrs. Obama in the White House. That diversity of perspective was really important to us, and that was another thing that drew us to Columbia."
Columbia's track record in digital preservation mattered as well, Liddell-Westefeld added. "If we're going to ask [administration] alumni to take the time to sit down for all these interviews…then we want to make sure that it's being done in a way where that material's going to be useful not just five years from now but also ten, 20, 50 years from now."
THE HOW AND THE WHY
The project's work will begin not with interviews, however, but with the development of a project blueprint and extensive research into Obama's life and presidency, and subject areas such as domestic policy.
"All of our work interviewing is based on the research that we do prior to the interview," explained Clark. It includes pulling information from books, newspapers, journal articles, and other publicly available documents to construct an extensive bibliography and timeline of critical events. While talking to people about the roles they played is important for the project, she said, "We also want to interview them about why they did what they did. So that involves understanding the mind and consciousness of the person we're interviewing."
While there is an abundance of information on key policy makers and colleagues, researchers will have to dig deeper for background on other constituents. "Taking the 9/11 Project as an example," said Clark, "We would understand the communities that we were working in by doing research on those communities, by understanding how they were affected by a public policy. One example of what we'll do on the Obama project is for people who were affected by the passage of the [Affordable] Care Act—what their lives were before and what their lives were after. So we still do research, but we just do less an individual approach and more a social approach."
Once the interviews begin, subjects will be given the choice to be recorded on video or audio only. Interviews typically last from one to one and a half hours, and are usually conducted over multiple sessions. "It really can capture the intersection of someone's personal and professional career when you do it that way," said Frazier, who has worked with CCOH for nearly six years.
Interviewers will be drawn from several sources nationwide, including Columbia's Oral History Master of Arts—the nation's only graduate-level program in the field of oral history—and the university's Oral History Summer Institute. "Our techniques of interviewing, honed over the years through many of the interviews we've done with politicians, leaders in the law, public policy [officials], Social Security administration, on down, have prepared us to be able to ask the kinds of questions that interest other people and make them want to talk to us," said Clark.
CCOH's protocol has been refined over time. Interviewers write up an analytical summary of each interview within 48 hours of its completion before sending the recording out for transcription. This reflection before the follow-up interview is a critical part of the process.
"If there's something that perhaps was important and wasn't touched on, or was engaged with but warrants a deeper conversation, there's the opportunity to do that," Frazier told LJ. "You can have the reflective moment, and then go back to a narrator [CCOH's term for interview subjects] and be able to engage with the benefit of having already not only interviewed them and thought about additional questions…but there's also the benefit—which is for me equally important—that you've built up something between you as an interviewer and the narrator in terms of a relationship, or a rapport. That's always important to a successful interview. Sometimes it can happen very quickly, and sometimes it takes a little bit of time to develop. But at whatever stage it flourishes, the interview becomes stronger because people are willing to go deeper, and delve into themselves and who they are."
Once the transcription is complete, project team members listen to the interview and compare it with the written transcript to catch any errors—either factual or contextual—and to gauge how the interview process is going. Names and events are corroborated with the team's research for accuracy of transcription. The fact that narrators' memories of events may vary, however, does not necessarily make them incorrect for CCOH's purposes; oral history embraces subjectivity.
"The things that people get wrong, or that may not be exactly correct—because memory can be fallible—the beauty of it is that we can interrogate the actual working of memory: Why do people remember what they remember?" said Frazier. "It's just as important to understand how that came about in that person's narrative, for them to remember a specific incident or experience in the way that they did."
Each transcript is then sent back to the interviewee for their approval before it becomes part of the digital archives. "This practice that we have maintained over the years, and developed even further around ethical considerations, means that anyone we interview, in any project that we do, will have the right to read and review and change and edit their transcript," said Clark. "Rarely do they do that, but they have the opportunity."
Clark looks forward to putting the project in motion—particularly since it is happening relatively close to the time that Obama left office, so people's memories are fresh. Also, she told LJ, "It was an open administration, meaning people felt free during the presidency to speak openly and candidly, so I think we're going to have far fewer problems than we might have on other kinds of political projects. People have written books and have spoken w great candor about the things that Obama faced during his presidency."
Frazier sees the oral history form, with its ability to interweave the voices of those who made policy and those who were affected by it, not only as a method of historical documentation but as a tool for social change. "I'm incredibly excited about the unique nature of the archive that will be developed in terms of situating [the narratives of people] who were impacted by the decisions of leadership and policymakers at the highest level of the administration, looking at those connections. I would hope that researchers, students, and the public in general will engage with it."
Although scope and scale may present some challenges, Clark feels that CCOH has the needed expertise, drawing on the work flow of projects such as its three-phase history of the Carnegie Corporation, or the history of Atlantic Philanthropies, which captured some 800 hours of interviews in two phases. Experience aside, said Clark, "I think this is the most exciting project we may have ever taken on in terms of bringing to light, in an accessible way, a public memory that belongs to the American people."

Celebrity hairstylists love these drugstore products for shiny, healthy hair.
For many of us, winter weather means dry and dull hair. Cold temperatures, dry air and lots of wind can all be very damaging to the health and appearance of our locks.
Hairstylists and professionals know this all too well, and they come armed with their favorite products to add red carpet-ready shine to their celebrity clientele. Lucky for us, some of these hair products are available at our local drugstore!
"I recommend John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum for shiny, manageable hair. The serum forms a barrier to prevent frizz but also to keep your hair shiny all winter long," said Felix Fischer, hair guru to Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchet.
Also available for $11 at Target.
" I love to use this product as a treatment styler. It's a great detangler and provides curls a ton of moisture (without oily buildup). Plus, it coats the curls and provides a moisturizing layer of protection. In the winter — whether we're inside in overheated, dry rooms or outside in the harsh cold — your hair needs a little extra love, so I use this product on all my curly girls to give them a base of soft, moisturized and shiny hair," said Andrew Fitzsimons, who styles Shay Mitchell, Janet Mock, Joan Smalls and Kourtney Kardashian.
Also available at Walmart and Target.
"It will give the hair the needed smoothness to tame flyaways and give shine!" said celebrity hairstylist Daniel Robb from the Guest House A Salon for Hair in Sherman Oaks, California.
"This provides intense moisture for shiny, healthy hair. It's great for any texture and any length," said Nevsy Zee, the founder and co-owner of Custom Hair Lounge in Chicago.
Also available for $22 at Walmart.
"This rich conditioning treatment will bathe your hair in moisture while its ingredients go to work battling dry and brittle winter hair. It leaves behind a shield to add shine and bounce," said Robb, whose clients include Melissa Gilbert and Reed Taylor.
Also available for $5 at Walmart.
"This is great to use as a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove any product buildup or congested pores," said Steve Lococo of B2V West Hollywood.
"A regular masque routine will help ensure your hair stays healthy throughout winter. This ultranourishing one is a client favorite," said Lococo, whose clients include Kirsten Dunst, Lily Tomlin and Christina Sturgeon.
"This has been a stylist secret for years. It's great for my editorial, on-set, runway and 'real life' clients," said Lococo.
Also available for $40 at Walmart and for $45 at Target.
"It is incredibly important to have a good dryer in the winter. Between heaters blasting your hair, the dry air outside and the wind, your locks are bound to be frizzy, dull and lifeless. The Conair 3QMS wins the never-ending battle in a big way by cutting down frizz up to 75 percent, and also provides more power (air flow) to cut down on drying time. This means less heat on your hair, which helps your hair retains more moisture. The more moisture your hair has, the more shine it has," said Michael Duenas, whose celebrity clients include Noah Cyrus, Tiffani Thiessen, Abigail Spencer and Petra Nemcova.
Also available for $16 at Walmart.
"This product is so much more than a leave-in conditioner! It's best to use this product on clean, wet hair, but you can apply it on dry hair for control and smoothing, too.
"Unlike other leave-in conditioners, this one adds shine to your hair, helps prevent split ends, detangles your hair, repairs any breakage and even has thermal protection," said California Coast colorist and founder of SF Color Collective, Jessica Sclamberg, whose celebrity clients include musicians and social media influencers.

my brother have 1 lakhs and that amount will require i month on march 2011. which MF plan he can choose for short-term invetment without any entry/exit load?
(1) Go for short term FD perferably 6 months.
All three options including the FD are subject to taxation.
For short term capital gains in debt instruments, the "profit" is taxed at 30%. So if you put in 1000 in FD or liquid/short term/hybrid debt/FoF, and get 1100 (and liquidate completely) in less than 12 months, your tax will stand at 33 [(1100-1000)*30%+cess).
You can opt for Dividend option of the debt funds (where they are taxed at 12.5% at the hands of the AMC) and zero-tax in the hands of investor. This is not available for FDs.
For over 1 year period, the debt fund taxation is even better. They start getting advantages of indexation, which is not available for FDs again.
do you think year interest on saving account which is 3.5 is a better option instead of putting money in either in liquid fund or short term debt instrument.
On the taxation account, even your bank interest (whether savings or fixed deposit) is subject to 33%. So that 3.5% becomes 2.3%. Now it is your take.
The 2nd and 3rd option involves taxation in the profit right ? I am part of 30% tax bracket, so how much percentage i should get profit so that i can be benefitted even after taxation in these liquid funds ?
1) Keep it in a short term FD.
2) Liquid fund like HDFC Cash Management Savings fund (G) – no entry or exit loads.
3) Short-term fund like HDFC HI short term (exit load for 30 days).


I require a complete Website for the Australian market in a niche area. This site will list events available in date order, under different categories and also different regions.

Visit the three Ghosts and pick up some great bonuses!
Which Ghost Will You Speak To First?
There are 20 pay-lines available in this slot game, and it will boost your chances of winning significantly if you keep as many of them active as possible. On the reels you'll find 3 card symbols (Ace, King, Queen) but the rest of the symbols are all themed. There is a plucked duck (ready for the Christmas feast), a picture of Tiny Tim and Bob Krachet as well as the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. The highest paying symbol out of these is the ghost of Christmas past.
Scrooge's symbol on the reels acts as a wild, which will substitute for all symbols except the time bonus and the Marley scatter symbol. The Marley scatter symbol will pay out when 2 or more appear anywhere simultaneously on the reels – 3 or more symbols appearing at the same time will award you free spins and a x3 multiplier. Click one of the scatter symbols to determine how many free spins you will get.
The clock bonus will take you to one of three bonus games should 3 or more of them show up on an active pay-line. The game will randomly take you to either the schoolroom of Christmas past (where you must choose 3 out of 5 desks), a sitting room of Christmas present (choose 3 out of 5 presents) or a graveyard of Christmas yet to come(choose 3 out of 5 gravestones). All of your choices will award you with cash prizes, before you are returned to the main game. If 4 or 5 clock bonus symbols trigger the bonus rounds then you will be able to choose 4 or 5 items in the round respectively – definitely worth looking out for!

Q: How can I return a value from an async/awaited function? I have a loop that when it finishes it returns a dataframe. This dataframe is then processed elsewhere within the app. Broadly speaking, in a sequenctial code, it looks like that:
import pandas as pd

def print_int_seq():
    col_1 = []
    col_2 = []
    for i in range(10):
        col_1.append(i)
        col_2.append(2*i)
        print(i)
    return pd.DataFrame({'col_1': col_1, 'col_2': col_2})

def run_seq():
    df = print_int_seq()
    print(df)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_seq()

I want now to have another function that will run asynchronously with the loop that returns the dataframe. I do not know how to do this please, ie return a value from an async/awaited function. If I didnt need to return anything the program (with the two async functions) would probably look like this:
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime
import asyncio

async def print_time(con):
    while True:
        print(datetime.now().time())
        await asyncio.sleep(1)

async def print_int():
# I would like this to return the full 10x2 dataframe
    col_1 = []
    col_2 = []
    for i in range(10):
        col_1.append(i)
        col_2.append(2*i)
        print(i)
        await asyncio.sleep(1)

async def main():
# how can I catch and process the 10x2 dataframe returned by print_int()?
    await asyncio.gather(
        print_time(con),
        print_int(),
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

How can I edit the script above so when the loop is exhausted to catch the dataframe and handle it in another function please? Does it matter that loop in the other async function never ends?

A: First and most important: async  mimic the behavior of functions a lot - if you want them to return a value, just add a return statement with whatever value you want to return:
async def print_int():
# I would like this to return the full 10x2 dataframe
    col_1 = []
    col_2 = []
    for i in range(10):
        ...
    return pd.Dataframe(...)

Second: asyncio.gather simply returns a sequence with all return values of the executed tasks, and for that, it must wait until all "gathered" tasks return. If the other task were to be finite, and finshed more or less on the same time, you'd do:
async def main():

    result1, result2 = await asyncio.gather(
        print_time(con),
        print_int(),
    )

As you plan to have a concurrent routine that won't end at all, asyncio.gather is not the best thing to: just create a task for both co-routines and await the result of the task you want:
async def main():
    # this will get the other co-routine running in the background:
    asyncio.create_task(print_time(con))

    result = await print_int()

Visitors to the exhibit will be invited on a journey of discovery as they move through one room to the next. From a bright and cheerful "op-art" bedroom teeming with flora to a rich and expressive fine-dining scene to an airy and design-forward office plan, guests will be encouraged to engage with and rethink what the combined designs within the Herman Miller family can offer.
The exhibit will also feature the worldwide debut of the Pillar Bedroom Group, a unified and discreetly beautiful bedroom collection for Herman Miller by award-winning designer Michael Anastassiades. With a singular focus on quality and an exploration of materiality and details meant to stand the test of time, the Pillar Bedroom Group offers a moment of leisure and contemplation and will be on display for guests to check out throughout the duration of Milan Design Week.
All Together Now will be on view at Herman Miller at Corso Garibaldi 70 in Milan's Brera district from April 9 to 13, 2019. Herman Miller invites the design industry and public at large to discover and experience the possibility of the Herman Miller Group.
