Biden wants to 'fundamentally alter' Senate filibuster on some issues
By Trevor Hunnicutt and Nandita Bose

WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Thursday said the United States should "fundamentally alter" the Senate filibuster on "certain issues" as his administration faces growing pressure from activists and Democrats to act on voting rights legislation.
The filibuster requires 60 of 100 U.S. senators to agree on most legislation, a hurdle that has left the Democratic party powerless on key social issues given their narrow majority. In recent months, many Democrats have urged a carve-out to exempt a voting rights bill, after Republicans enacted dozens of state laws that Democrats say could restrict voting for many Americans, especially minorities.
"We're going to have to move to the point where we fundamentally alter the filibuster," Biden said during a CNN townhall.
Support to alter the rule has grown among Democrats, as a splintered Republican party unites around a plan to block Biden's agenda in Congress by opposing his appointees and fiscal measures that usually get bipartisan support.
"The idea, for example, that my Republican friends say that we're going to default on the national debt because they're going to filibuster that and we need 10 Republicans to support us is the most bizarre thing ever heard," Biden said.
Biden, a former senator, has previously voiced objections to altering or abandoning the filibuster. He suggested he was open to considering it during the showdown over hiking the debt ceiling.
Several filibuster reform ideas have been floated in this administration that could stop short of a ban. Those include an exemption just for voting rights bills, limiting the number of filibusters against any one bill, or forcing those waging a filibuster to remain standing and speaking on the Senate floor until one side relents.
Privately, Biden has also suggested to top lawmakers in recent weeks that he might be open to discussing the issue once his infrastructure and social-spending bills pass, according to a person familiar with the matter.
On Wednesday, Senate Democrats tried to advance a voting rights bill aimed at thwarting restrictive new voting laws enacted in Republican-led states. Republican lawmakers blocked a vote to begin debating the measure.

Close the blinds – Lewes sunshine can be your worst enemy when it comes to dust on the windows. Closing your window blinds is an easy way to keep the dust out of direct sight and out of mind (for the time being). Upgrading your windows with snap-in, between-the-glass blinds or shades from Pella Windows and Doors is a great alternative, as well. These are installed between panes of glass and shielded from damage and dust—especially beneficial if you have active little hands in the house.
Use baskets – If you have a cluttered living room, grab a basket and place all your clutter into it so you can sort it out later when you have more time. This tactic can be used in many different rooms—don't have time to fold clean laundry before you put a new load in? Use a "clean" hamper to keep everything separate and convenient. Keep all your toys in a bin or basket for easy access.
Follow these tips and your home can feel cleaner in no time. Then, look to Pella Windows and Doors for a variety of replacement window features that can keep your windows looking fresh for years to come. Visit our window and door professionals at our Lewes showroom, or give us a call at 302-257-5544 or schedule an appointment with us online.

Former State Senator Jessica King swamps field in the 6th CD partisan primary
Jessica King, participated in a recent League of Women Voters of the Ripon Area candidate forum
With over 75% of the vote, former Wisconsin State Senator Jessica King easily topped a three-person field Tuesday to win the 6th Congressional District Democratic Party partisan primary.
King rolled up 38,039 votes in the 11 counties that are included in the district. First-time candidate Michael Beardsley finished second with 7,885 and Matt Boor came in third at 4,575.
With the win, King, an attorney, earns the right to take on incumbent Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman in November.
King won all 11 counties, with her strongest performance coming in Winnebago County, her home county, where she racked up 10,825 votes.
By itself that total would have earned her the win, even if she had not added votes from the 10 other counties in the district.


In situ measurements of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) at Cape Grim Tasmania (41oS) have been use to calculate Australian emissions (2005-2009) of these potent greenhouse gases (GHGs). These emissions have been compared to the Australian GHG national accounts that are submitted annually to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). For the first time, CSIRO atmospheric verification data have been included in the Australian government submission to the UNFCCC .

«Волшебный магазин» — советский рисованный мультипликационный фильм 1953 года по одноимённой сказке Владимира Сутеева. Последняя совместная работа режиссёров Леонида Амальрика и Владимира Полковникова, которые, объединившись схожими творческими стремлениями, нашли свой собственный стиль.

Сюжет
Пионер Витя Петров хочет выдвинуться и поэтому вызвался нарисовать стенгазету, хотя рисовать не умеет. Он идёт к своему однокласснику Мише и просит его помочь. Но тот занят уроками (он учит наизусть стихотворение Пушкина «Зимний вечер»), и Витя решает подождать его. От нечего делать он на диване увлекается чтением сборника волшебных сказок и постепенно засыпает. Часы бьют 7 часов вечера.

Витя оказывается у магазина со звучным названием: «Волшебный детский универмаг». В этом магазине, хозяин которого — добродушный маг-завмаг, Витя получает краски, которые сами рисуют. Прогнав свою сестрёнку с плюшевым медведем (которая «срывает» ему «общественную работу»), Витя произносит соответствующее заклинание и отдаёт краскам приказ рисовать стенгазету. Позже он надевает свой пионерский галстук и бежит в школу, где с удивлением узнаёт от других ребят, что все рисунки стенгазеты являются карикатурами на него самого же. Вызываясь рисовать стенгазету, Витя не слышал, что газета должна быть посвящена лодырничающим пионерам, а когда отдавал краскам приказ, то не удосужился почитать название заметок, которые должен был разместить в газете. Ребята только смеются над его попытками оправдаться.

Витя решает избавиться от красок, и тогда маг-завмаг предлагает обменять их на шахматы, но Витя говорит, что завтра у него концерт. Тогда хозяин вручает ему балалайку, которая сама играет мелодию русской народной песни «Ах вы, сени, мои сени». Придя на вечер самодеятельности, Витя неожиданно (а скорее всего, по закону подлости) забывает заклинание, а достать бумажку с текстом заклинания невозможно, так как маг-завмаг спрятал её в балалайку. Ничего не происходит и ребята снова смеются над ним. Сестрёнка Вити говорит про своего брата, что он — «Хвастунишка из 3Б», пианист закрывает пианино, и занавес задвигается.

Тогда Витя обменивает волшебную балалайку на управляемый футбольный мяч, чтоб сыграть в матче с ребятами из соседней школы. Но и тут всё заканчивается неудовлетворительно: заклинание, благодаря которому мяч всегда должен попадать в руки Вити, оказывается таким длинным, что Витя не успевает его вовремя произнести, из-за чего в ворота их школы забивают 13 голов, а один раз он произнесённым не вовремя заклинанием даже мешает своим забить гол. Недовольный дворник, который наблюдал за процессом, говорит про пионера, что он «третий столб».

После такой неудачи Витя решает, что надо делать всё самому. Раскаиваясь, он является в магазин и признаётся в этом магу-завмагу. Тогда тот предлагает ему в помощь к предстоящему диктанту волшебную ручку, пишущую без ошибок, но Витя отказывается, говоря, что и своей обычной ручкой сам напишет диктант. Радостный маг-завмаг поздравляет Витю с его выбором, после чего надевает шапку-невидимку и прощается.

В восемь часов Витя просыпается. Миша уже закончил с уроками и готов помочь ему со стенгазетой, но после поучительного сна Витя решает нарисовать стенгазету сам, чем очень удивляет своего друга.

Weather did not look good for this work session, but rain had stopped prior to 8 a.m. and we had another productive session. By around noon, however, the skies darkened and the winds really picked up. We didn't need much of an excuse to end the session as our energy levels had diminished anyway. Joining in were Scott and Venus Andersen, John King, Patsy Smith, Wendy Ellis, Jackie Doles and Diana Zimmerman as we straightened a number of stones, cleaned stones, and repaired stones. We thank everyone for making such a difference in the cemetery. Gloria and Jim Losey also stopped by to see the progress.
Many thanks to ALL the volunteers who help throughout the years making this a very successful project.

With fall comes a never-ending list of errands and shifting priorities. It may just be time to 're-embrace your To-Do List'. But instead of allowing the list to dominate your every thought, use it as a guideline, use it to stay organized and on track. Just remember Rome wasn't built in a day, and your 'To-Do' list may not be possible to tackle in one day either. What doesn't get done today can be added on to tomorrow. Just make sure to make your goals and 'To-Do's' realistic in the first place.
Stop and breathe. Focusing your breathing on helping to bring you energy will also allow you to accomplish MORE. Yes, slowing down for one minute will actually allow you to accomplish more. Inner Frontier offers an interesting case in point about the benefits of 'Energy Breathing' which as you all know I am a big beleiver in. They even offer an Audio Stream that is worth listening to!

Q: Get full request URL from inside APIView in Django REST Framework Is there a method, or an attribute in request object that I can access to return me the URL exactly as the client requested? With the query params included?
I've checked request.build_absolute_uri after looking at this question but it just returns the URL without the query params.
I need the URL because my API response returns the URL for the "next page" of results. I could build it from the query_params attributes, but this view takes a lot of query params and some exclude others, so having access to the request url would save me a lot of pain.

A: To get full path, including query string, you want request.get_full_path()

Orlova Chuka Cave
The Orlova Chuka cave is situated at a distance of about 40 km from Ruse, near the village of Pepelina. The cave was found in 1941 by a shepherd who was shepherding his flock in the region.
In 1959 in Orlova Chuka were built 124 stone stairs and an artificial tunnel was drilled, which serves as an entrance. Speleologists started examining the cave and found skeletons of cave bears. It is believed that it was inhabited by people during the Paleolithic Age and the Stone-Copper Age. The cave was declared a natural landmark by Decree No 2810 of 10 November 1962.
Nowadays, about 3 km of the cave are accessible and illuminated for the visitors.
Its name comes from the rock crown which stands above its entrance. The Orlova Chuka is the habitat of the bat species Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Rhinolophus Hipposideros and Myotis blythii. In the galleries lives the unique for Europe bat species Chiroptera .
The examination of the cave continues to the present day.
From the artificial entrance of Orlova Chuka one can enter the first cave hall. It is called Concert Hall because of its good acoustics, and often concerts are performed inside it. Every year in August during the Cave Celebration bands are performing a festal concert. Namely, the Great Stalactite which is 3.5 meters high and 50 cm in diameter is located in the Concert Hall.
There are many other interesting formations in the cave – the Dinosaur, the Owl, the Turtle, etc.
In the Large Gallery, which is situated to the west of the Concert Hall, there are multiple beautifully shaped sinter lakes.
The largest and the best laid out hall is the cave called The Big Screes. There are sinter formations on the walls, and when you look at them carefully, you can differentiate interesting forms imitating a snake, a football player with a ball, etc. On the bottom of the hall, there are stone blocks that had probably been demolished during intensive earthquakes. On the bottom, there are a lot of remains of bat compost because the hall is one of their favorite habitats in the cave.
The hall called The Small Screes is situated next to the Big Screes. To the west of the main gallery begins a tunnel, at the end of which is situated the Cosmic Hall.
A tunnel is formed by the small hall called "Rest", at the end of which there are calcite crystals, which look like cracks.
People enter the cave in groups (not more than 15 people) at every round hour. Taking pictures in the cave is allowed, but lighting of fire, disturbing the animals which inhabit the cave, as well as visiting the raw galleries of the cave is forbidden. It is also forbidden to visit the cave within the period of 1 November – 1 April; and during the rest of the year the tourist visiting is only allowed within the time between 9 am and 5 pm. Information materials and souvenirs are sold on the site. People enter the cave only accompanied by a tour guide.
From 1 April to 31 October
Monday – Sunday: 10.00 am – 5.00 pm.
During the rest of the months, the cave is not accessible by tourists.
Tourists enter the cave at each round hour with a group of not less than 15 visitors.
The last group enters the cave at 5.00 pm, and the tour along the galleries continues for 40-50 min.
For school students, university students, seniors and people with disabilities – BGN 2.
For children up to 7 years old – BGN 0.50.
For groups of more than 5 people – BGN 5 per person
For individual visits – BGN 6.
The price of the guided tour is included in the ticket because one can enter the cave only if accompanied by a tour guide.
Tel: +359 885 500 294 – groups guide
You can reach the cave from the town of Ruse along the main road E85, then continue on the turn-off for the town of Dve Mogili. After the exit of the town in the direction of Ivanovo there is a turn-off to the right for the cave. You can reach it through a 6-kilometer long asphalted road. There is a parking lot in front of the cave.
A tour guide leads the tour in the cave only in Bulgarian language.

De Vries Times Lead for Formula 500 Win
Sven de Vries, of Holt, Michigan, battled to his first championship at the 58th SCCA National Championship Runoffs in Formula 500 this afternoon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. The newly crowned champ was chased to the Runoffs podium by Ryan Mayfield, of Orlando, Florida, and Calvin Stewart, of Novi, Michigan.
The race was a thriller, with de Vries and Mayfield exchanging the lead no fewer than seven times in nine green-flag laps between the race's first restart on lap eight and the final yellow. When the final yellow came out, the duo was essentially side by side in the Turn 6 area of the track.
That was fortunate timing for de Vries, who had made the pass through the Turns 1 and 2 complex in his No. 27 Green Hawk Computers/Linn Racing Novakar J9/Suzuki. Mayfield was battling back when the yellows came out, effectively ending the race early.
The win was the first for de Vries, whose only other Runoffs appearance was a silver medal at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2017.
"Doing all of this here at Indy is a childhood dream come true," de Vries said. "When I was a kid I would watch racing from behind the fence and just picture what it would be like to be in the car. Now to be here in first, I'm speechless. It means the world to me. If this was my last race, I can be happy that I accomplished this and measure myself with the likes of Calvin, who is a champion, or Clint McMahan, and now Sven de Vries is one of them. I'm lost for words."
Mayfield led the opening stanza from the Tire Rack pole position, but had to start his march to the podium in the No. 34 VRS/Satellite Racing Scorpion S1/Suzuki all over again when a full course caution came on lap five. He lost the lead to de Vries on the lap eight restart, then regained it in Turn 1 one lap later. The eventual winner took the lead again on lap 12, but in a repeat, Mayfield was quicker down the front straight and reclaimed the lead on lap 13.
The process repeated on lap 14 and 15, with de Vries moving back to the front in the twisty sections and Mayfield moving to the lead in Turn 1. Mayfield was hoping for one more opportunity down the front straight to earn the win in his first Runoffs appearance, but it was not meant to be.
"I don't even know where to begin," Mayfield said. "That race was amazing. I was smiling every single lap and even when he passed me, I wasn't upset. We kept it super clean, and I think we put on the best dang race of the weekend. That's what we're here to do. Everyone wants to win but if you can't win you want to have a hell of a fight for that win. I'll still be smiling on the plane ride home. You can think however much you want on what could have been if the timing was one lap or two later, but it is what it is, and I think you have to appreciate how far we've come."
Stewart, a champion in his own right, flew into second at the start but spent his race in a battle for the final podium position. Stewart, Aaron Ellis and James Weida spent the latter half of the race nose to tail, with Stewart coming out in front to earn his fifth podium finish. Ellis and Weida crossed the stripe in order behind Stewart to complete the top five.
"It's just wonderful to be up here with these guys," Stewart said. "At the start I got a little loose coming onto the straight and stuck two wheels in the mud and got really sideways. Luckily, I was able to collect it, but they were able to gap me and they put the hammer down. I have to give kudos to the boys; they really threw a party and I was just glad I was a part of it."
Keith Joslyn, who finished sixth after starting 12th, was awarded the Sunoco Hard Charger award for gaining the most positions during the race.

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the American Printing House for the Blind, located on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville's Clifton neighborhood. I'd driven past the APH dozens of times and vaguely knew that they did good works. Little did I know how much they contribute to the blind and vision impaired community around the world!
The American Printing House for the Blind is the world's largest company devoted solely to researching, developing, and manufacturing products for people who are blind and visually impaired. Founded in 1858, it is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States. Under the 1879 federal Act to Promote the Education of the Blind, APH is the official supplier of educational materials for visually impaired students in the U.S. who are working at less than college level. APH was originally housed in the basement of the nearby Kentucky School for the Blind before construction began on an adjacent lot.
My tour of the APH included, of course, a look at the actual printing process. It was fascinating to see all of the various mechanisms for printing. This was like a giant laser printer for making raised-imprint illustrations.
This machine creates Braille imprints.
And, I was suprised to learn, the Printing House produces so much more than books. This is an example of a globe prototype. APH also creates the Braille menus for McDonalds. They even record a series of audiobooks. While I was there, a reader was recording a special edition of Orange is the New Black!
APH also houses an extensive museum that commemorates the history and achievements of the visually impaired community.
The piano upon which Stevie Wonder learned to play.
APH also features special exhibits and programs. In celebration of Braille Literacy Month, there will be a program entitled "This Is Your Life, Louis Braille" at 10:30 a.m. on January 25th.
The American Printing House for the Blind is an amazing resource right in our backyard. You'll be amazed what you can learn there!

A mere 24 hours following Monday's mild trade deadline "frenzy", the Montreal Canadiens rewarded upper management by defeating the A-Town Thrashers 3-1 Tuesday Night in front of a super-packed, electrically charged, Phillips Arena crowd…Ha, almost fooled you, there were probably more people at your son's Pee-Wee hockey game, or your wife's basket-weaving class than at last night's contest. There is only one thing that comes to mind when you see more people lining up for a Swine Flu vaccination versus a hockey game…relocation. The Quebec Thrashers, or as Pierre Houde would say, Les TRASHers de Quebec. Has a ring to it, huh?
Carey Price looked brilliant once again, stopping 40-of-41 shots, garnering 1st Star honours. If it weren't for a gruesome turnover in the Montreal zone with less than 6 minutes remaining which led to Atlanta's only goal via Nik Antropov, Price would be celebrating is 7th shutout of the season.
The Thrashers nearly doubled Montreal's shot total, 41 to Montreal's 23. Price had to be extra sharp as once again, the Habs continue to have problems both possessing the puck and clearing the defensive zone during the latter stages of most games. Carey Price continues to put on his best bondsman impersonation; constantly bailing-out is team on the regular. Hey Dog, I think you have some competition brewing?
Montreal received its share of goals by Max Pacioretty, The Almighty Wiz, James Wisniewski and the Captain, Brion Gionta with an empty-netter to seal the deal.
The Canadiens' spring break vacation continues as they travel to Sunrise, Florida to face the Panthers on Thursday. Weather in Sunrise, Florida for tomorrow: Partly cloudy with a high of 78°F (26°C). While the Habs work on their tan today, they have a chance to further their standing in the Eastern Conference come tomorrow.
The Habs have maintained their 6th place standing in the East with 5th place Washington only 3-points ahead and 4th place Pittsburgh 5-points ahead. Tuesday's win further distanced the Canadiens from 9th place Buffalo (8 points back).
Saturday, the Habs round out their Southeast road trip as they face the Canadiens-south, also known as the Southeast leading, Tampa Bay Lightning.


When most people think about real estate development, they tend to think about a development company coming into a plot of untouched land, bulldozing it flat, and building new residential properties. However, while this may have been the way of real estate development in the past, we're starting to see a shift towards a more environmentally friendly alternative known as urban infill development.
What is Urban Infill Development?
Urban infill development refers to a process where an existing property is re-purposed for real estate purposes. Instead of tearing down a forest, for example, urban infill development may involve the renovation and refurbishment of vacant or under-utilized properties within urban and rural areas.
There are numerous benefits to using urban infill development. For starters, it's great for the planet. Rather than cutting down trees and using up more resources to build new real estate properties, the urban infill method utilizes existing structures. This is also great for the involved city, as it revitalizes the area not only cosmetically, but economically as well.
For example, property that wasn't generating any tax revenue while abandoned/vacant can be utilized as a source of tax revenue once again. Not to mention, costs are reduced since there's no need to spend additional public funds on running and maintaining city utilities (sewer, water, electric, etc.) to an area that was previously undeveloped. The positive impact from repurposing and improving an existing property has a trickle down effect that is felt throughout the community.
Meanwhile, city hubs that may have otherwise been desolate or abandoned can enjoy new life. The city becomes safer and more walkable without these blighted areas. This in-turn, raises property values, attracts new businesses, creates a desirable place to live and generally improves the vibe of the city as a whole. With more people walking it also opens up possibilities for environmentally friendly means of public transportation and potentially improves air quality.
Here at The Parker Group, we're no strangers to urban infill development. In fact, we've already been utilizing it to help bring more density to the Downtown Greenville community with our new developments.
When it comes to real estate, The Parker Group has always prioritized projects that make the city of Greenville a truly amazing place to live. If you're interested in our development consulting or any of our other services, don't hesitate to contact us.


Caroline from Naturally Happy Dogs was asked to visit a Dalmatian this weekend who simply won't go for a walk.
Poor Scooby (6 months old from Cambridgeshire) is quite scared of walking and will often go into 'fool around' behaviours during his walks.
As walking and dog ownership do rather go hand in hand, Caroline went to see if any Tellington Training could help. During the session, Caroline filmed some of his behaviour to show it to our contributor Jez to get his expert opinion on the subject too.
We are happy to say that Scooby's owner has been implementing some of Jez and Caroline's recommendations and only 3 days later he is beginning to change his reaction to walks.

Smartwatches: Will Fashion Take Over Technology?
Smartwatches are everywhere – in the press, in shops and on wrists, and with the release of the long awaited Apple watch coming up soon and other brands such as Sony, Motorola and LG jumping on the trend, there's guaranteed to be some stiff competition. So now that they've been introduced to the market, what can we expect from smartwatches this year? We've taken a look at what Breitling, Gucci and TAG Heuer are going to do to make their smartwatch different to those already available on the market, and for most, it seems that style is the way forward.
Here's what we can expect from smartwatches this year...
The Apple watch
The Apple Watch will be released on Friday 24 April 2015. Pre-orders have already begun and it seems that many models have sold out already, with one million people buying the Apple Watch on the first day of pre-orders in the US, according to Slice Intelligence – though it has been reported that Apple were expecting more sales.
There are three versions of the watch, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Edition and they all work in conjunction with an app on the iPhone.
The Apple Watch costs from £479-£949 and is made from stainless steel with a retina display face that's protected by sapphire crystal. It's available in different colours and bands and is suitable for both every day and evening wear.
The Apple Watch Sport will set customers back £299-£339 and is made from anodised aluminium which is lightweight and its face is protected by strengthened iron X glass. This model is up to 30 per cent lighter than the Apple Watch and is resistant to scratches – making it suitable for sport wear and every day wear.
The Apple Watch Edition costs £8,000 - £13,500 and is made from 18 carat gold which is twice as hard as standard gold (hence the cost). Its dial is protected by polished sapphire crystal and the case of the face is available in rose gold or yellow gold – this version is most suitable for evening and occasion wear, or not at all considering the cost.
What do the people think?
The battery life of the Apple Watch is a concern. It needs to be charged every day which is inconvenient for users, however it only takes 90 minutes to charge from 0-80 per cent. Moving forward, battery life could be a key factor for smartwatches.
It's likely that another version of the Apple watch will be released within the next two years, making this one out of date. Other brands will want to avoid this.
On a positive note, Apple claims it is the most personal product that it has ever created. The watch is also useful for people who need to screens for work, they could be sending an email on the iPhone while making a call on the Apple Watch.
What can we expect from other brands?
When the Apple watch first launched, it was speculated that the Swiss watch industry would see it as a threat. However, it soon became clear that those looking for a detailed chronograph timepiece were unlikely to buy the Apple Watch, or watches similar and would look to traditional timepiece brands for a product. Some technology brands want to compete with Apple Watch, while Swiss watch makers see it as a chance to evolve and improve rather than actually compete – they want to learn from Apple in comparison to copying it.
At Baselworld 2015 (the world's leading event on watches and jewellery) there were a number of brands who revealed exciting projects for 2015/2016 with Gucci, Breitling and TAG Heuer leading the way. Here's what we can expect in the near future.
Breitling has no trouble being recognised in the timepiece industry. It is a supplier to world aviation and as a specialist of technical watches it's inevitable that its new smart watch is going to be as accurate and technical as a watch can be – just not in the way brands such as Sony, LG and Apple are.
Breitling revealed its new B55 Connected smartwatch at Baselworld 2015 and like many other smartwatches it comes complete with an app which connects to the watch via Bluetooth. This watch has no intention of making phone calls or sending texts and replying to Facebook messages, instead it specialises in providing the user with impeccable timekeeping functions. So far it has been called a pilot's 'ultimate instrument' as they can use the watch and the app to record flight time data.
As the creator of the first independent chronograph push piece, Breitling is passionate about creating a watch that serves a purpose to the user, not just a screen for the wrist. In terms of style it looks more like a technical chronograph watch, in comparison to a simple and technology based smartwatch which often has a large screen. With a blue and black theme and a wireless logo on the dial, the B55 Connected is very much marketed towards sport players and keen aviators. The watch costs around £5435.
Luxury fashion brand Gucci confirmed that it will be taking on the challenge of creating a smartwatch, and will be working with rapper and former The Black Eyed Peas member, will.i.am on the new project. Instead of creating a smartwatch, Gucci and will.i.am are planning to create a 'smartband', which is a fashionable smartwatch that people will want to wear.
After the departure of Gucci CEO, Patrizio Di marco and creative director of Gucci ready-to-wear, Frida Gianni, the high-end brand is reinventing itself with new creative director, Alessandro Michele. Alessandro Michele wants to bring Gucci back to life with youthful and chic designs that attract the younger generations and a Gucci smartwatch could be the way forward.
The new Gucci 'smartband' is said to be able to receive and make calls, text messages and emails, in addition to playing music, tracking fitness and having a calendar and maps. It also has a front screen camera. Shying away from a typical smartwatch trend, this 'smartband' will not need to be used with a smartphone. Although Gucci and will.i.am have not yet released details of a price and launch date, we have been given a sneak peak at the design. It's not what you would expect from the new Gucci creative director as it's sleek, simple and has a large watch face but more designs could be released when the watch launches – so watch this space.
Speaking of the new 'smartband' Gucci president and CEO, Marco Bizzarri said in a statement:
"Wearable technology and smart devices represent a new frontier for the fashion industry. It is very appropriate that Gucci is leading the way through this collaboration with will.i.am, as innovation has always been such an important part of our DNA."
While President of Gucci Timepieces, Stephanie Linder told the audience at Baselworld 2015:
"Gucci timepieces is fully embracing the future of wearable technology that is now ahead."
Will.i.am has said that he wants the watch to be 'unique in the marketplace' and is focused on the term 'fashionology' (a new word he created which is a combination of fashion and technology). As a fashion brand, Gucci could have an advantage when it comes to creating a smartwatch. If the design is right then customers will want to wear it, even if they aren't interested in the concept of a smartwatch itself.
Perhaps one of the most surprising announcements to come from Baselworld 2015 was that TAG Heuer would be collaborating with Google and Intel – a strong collaboration if ever we've seen one. The three companies want to build an Android Wear watch that's aimed at a younger audience. As a traditional timepiece brand, TAG Heuer wants to encourage the younger generation to wear more watches and feel that the way to do that is to produce a connected watch that's also fashionable. TAG Heuer wants the new watch to be timeless and able to be passed down from generation to generation, like many timepieces are, and along with Google and Intel, TAG Heuer believes that focusing solely on technology and style will take the design of watches back in time.
Jean-Claude Biver, head of LVMH watch division told the Financial Times:
"We believe that TAG Heuer is an avant-garde brand and our customers belong to the younger generation. There is a demand for luxury connected watches and we want to satisfy that demand."
The collaboration has no intention of creating a watch that looks like a miniature phone on the wrist, instead it will have classic TAG Heuer design and mechanics. The companies have chosen to create an Android Wear smartwatch because they believe it wouldn't be logical to try to create a new system when there is already one that works so well – which could be a very clever move.
The TAG Heuer, Google and Intel smartwatch is expected to go on sale in November 2015.
So what's next for smartwatches?
While the Apple Watch has clearly set the bar high among smartwatches, it seems that it's not made a big impact on traditional timepiece brands like many assumed it would. Instead, brands like TAG Heuer and Breitling have decided to take on board what Apple is offering its customers, and instead of trying to replicate it they are tailoring their smartwatch to their own brands to improve their offering.
Since the Apple Watch launched quite early and has inevitably received the most press in the smartwatch stakes, it's given other brands the chance to see what has and hasn't worked well and they can then use this information to produce their own smartwatch.
However, one thing that is clear among the smartwatches set to be released this year, is that fashion and style is just as important as the technology of the watch. The Apple Watch has previously been criticised for being too big and not looking good on the wrist, and with fashion brands such as Gucci creating its own, it seems important to create a watch that people actually want to wear – one that looks like a watch and not a phone.
Moving forward, price, size and style are going to be among the main factors contributing to which watch customers will buy. We can definitely expect to see smartwatches taking a different route; it's unlikely that they are going to be oversized miniature phones, they are going to look and work like a standard watch, but the movement and complications will be more technically advanced to provide users with a watch that's timeless, stylish, user friendly and exquisitely accurate.
Here at Ernest Jones, we can't wait to see what smartwatches are available in the upcoming year.

TNA Impact Wrestling Review - July 29, 2015
Jeff Jarrett gets emotional during his induction speech.
Rockstar Spud Confronted Austin Aries
Aries has barely been featured on TNA TV since the Best of Five series a while ago, so it was cool to see him return in a notable role at the start the show. He's always been an exceptional mic worker, so it came as no surprise that his verbal exchanges with both Bully Ray and Spud were very good. It's great that Spud is finally being able to showcase his skills on the stick and he definitely made the most of his opportunity here. They did a solid job of making their match feel meaningful and I like how they switched it up by saving it for next week instead of rushing it for this week's main event.
Eric Young def. Chris Melendez
Is it just me or does anyone else not care about this feud at all? I guess the same can be said for most of the rivalries going on right now in TNA, but there isn't anything about this specific storyline that stands out as being special. Young is awesome in this crazy role, but I don't think Melendez has connected with the crowd enough for fans to invest enough in his character. Henceforth, having him lose again won't do him any favors because it will eventually establish him as a loser.
Mickie James looks to put Serena away.
Knockouts Champion Brooke def. Marti Bell
Although they've been cast in the sidekick role for Taryn Terrell, Jade and Marti are actually very good wrestles. Jade is easily the better worker of the two, but Marti is still skilled and she did well against Brooke who has also come a long way in the ring these last few years. The title never felt like it was in jeopardy and I'm not even sure how Marti earned herself a title shot, but it was one way of furthering The Dollhouse's feud with Gail Kim.
Matt Hardy Chose the Stipulation for Next Week's TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match
It's a shame EC3 has been booked rather weak since winning the world several weeks back because he's such a damn great talent both in the ring and on the mic. His above average mic skills shined in this segment, though I was disappointed we didn't get to hear from him after The Hardy Boyz came out. Jeff's involvement in the segment adds to the feud and makes it feel more than just a one-off even if that's the intention. Doing a Full Metal Mayhem for a two-week-old feud may seem premature, but there's no denying that it should be one hell of a match.
Magnus and Mickie James def. James Storm and Serena
I don't know how long Mickie has been out of the ring for, but she didn't seem to miss a beat in this bout. The best part about Serena in this role (other than how perfectly it fits her character) is that she's a very talented competitor, so her and Mickie's styles meshed nicely. Magnus and Storm also put forth a good effort and worked as well as they always have against each other. While it wasn't an overly memorable last match for both Mickie and Serena (if this is in fact the final time we'll be seeing them on TNA TV), it was entertaining and a fitting way of (hopefully) blowing off the storyline.
Jeff Jarrett Was Inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame
I'm not sure why they didn't want to wait until Bound For Glory as is typically the tradition to do the induction, but at any rate, this was extremely well done. Say what you will about Jarrett, but as the founder of TNA, he should have been the first one inducted three years ago. He had a lot of people to thank and the emotion he showed at various points truly showed how much this meant to him, making for a very cool moment.
After last week's throwaway show, this week's edition was a major improvement. Other than the opening segment, the first hour didn't do much for this viewer, but the second hour was strong with the effective talking segment, the enjoyable tag team match and the excellent induction of Jeff Jarrett. Not only that, but prior to this show, I had no knowledge of No Surrender being next week. In one night, they made me care about that show with the strong card they have on tap, so I'm very much looking forward to that.


The Bible furthermore says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Therefore, everything the believer does must be done by faith. Faith will always require unseen evidence. It demands believing, trusting, and obedience. In the flesh, faith leaves room for doubt. Great faith requires reckless abandonment. Human reasoning is abandoned, and hope in God is all that remains. Great exploits call for great faith. Those who have accomplished the most for Christ have done so with extraordinary faith. Just faith says to the world, "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." If you desire to achieve great ventures for God, you will need total obedience, which calls for great faith. Once you begin to please God, you will not be able to draw back.

Trial begins with search warrant application for two men accused in fentanyl overdoses
Japmanjot Grewal, 22, and Shervin Dass Beeharry, 20, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to several drug trafficking and weapons charges laid after seven people overdosed from fentanyl-laced cocaine on March 10, 2018.
Bre McAdam, Saskatoon StarPhoenix
A provincial court trial has begun for two of three men charged in connection with fatal fentanyl overdoses in Saskatoon last year.
Japmanjot Grewal, 22, and Shervin Dass Beeharry, 20, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to several drug trafficking and weapons charges laid after seven people overdosed from fentanyl-laced cocaine on March 10, 2018. Four people died and three others were hospitalized.
The men are not on trial for manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm charges that were laid in February.
Beeharry and Grewal were originally slated to have a preliminary hearing this week. Beeharry's lawyer, Brian Pfefferle, confirmed they were able to re-elect to a provincial court trial after their co-accused, Azam Kabani, had his drug-related charges withdrawn last Friday.
Kabani, 20, is still before the courts on the manslaughter and criminal negligence charges. Out of the three accused, he was the only one released on bail.
All three men were arrested after police raided a home on Pawlychenko Lane. The defence has filed a Garofoli application, challenging the information that police provided a judge in order to obtain a search warrant for the home.
"They have a duty to present the judge who issues the warrant all the information. They have to give both positive and negative; they have to be accurate. They can't give misleading statements," Pfefferle said.
"A Garofoli application is an opportunity for defence counsel to question the person who drafted the document that said 'Give us a warrant to search this house,' to determine whether that process was fair."
Pfefferle said he'll argue that a judge should not have granted the search warrant based on the information police provided.
Judge Doug Agnew needs to review the application before deciding if it will proceed. Even if he were to exclude the evidence on the search warrant, Pfefferle said he expects the case would still likely go to trial on other aspects.
"The end goal is that compliance with charter principles are upheld and search warrants are granted under the law," he said.
Lawyers submitted documents on the voir dire hearing Tuesday afternoon and are expected to make arguments on Wednesday.

Black History: Ahmadu Bello University (1962)
Founded on October 4, 1962, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) is a public university located in Zaria, Kaduna State in northern Nigeria. With over 35,000 students, it is the largest university in sub-Saharan Africa and the second largest on the African continent after the University of Cairo in Egypt. The institution was originally founded as the University of Northern Nigeria but was renamed in honor of the Sardauna of Sokoto, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, who was the first premier of northern Nigeria and the university's first chancellor. Bello was murdered by Army officers on January 15, 1966 during Nigeria's first military coup.
The university has two main campuses, the Samaru and Kongo campus. The Samaru campus is home to the administrative offices, sciences, social sciences, arts and languages, education and research facilities. The Kongo campus houses the Faculties of Law and Administration, which consists of accounting, business administration, local government and development studies, and public administration departments. The university also has the ABU Teaching Hospital, which is one of the largest training hospitals in Nigeria.
Currently, the university covers a land area of 7,000 hectares and encompasses twelve academic faculties, a postgraduate school and 82 academic departments. It also has five institutes, six specialized centers, a Division of Agricultural Colleges, a demonstration secondary school, a primary school and extension and consultancy services, which provide a variety of services to the university and the wider society. While most students are from northern Nigeria, the university attracts students from all over Africa. There are about 1,400 academic and research staff and 5,000 support staff working at ABU.
Ahmadu Bello University has numerous notable alumni including the current vice president of Nigeria, Namadi Sambo. Its philosophy/motto is, "The first duty of every university is the search for and the spread of knowledge and the establishment of the nation."

Feature News: More Nigerian protests against police brutality as reforms fail to convince
Nigerian protesters demanding an end to police brutality returned to the streets on Wednesday, saying they were unconvinced by the creation of a new police unit and a pledge not to use violence against demonstrators.
Protesters have staged daily marches nationwide for a week, calling for an overhaul of police forces. Police have responded to the demonstrations with beatings, tear gas and gunfire, which human rights group Amnesty International said had killed at least 10 people.
The protests have prompted a raft of announcements. The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a police unit that demonstrators have long accused of beatings, killings and extortion, was officially disbanded on Sunday.
On Tuesday, police agreed to stop using force against protesters. They also announced the formation of a new unit, the Special Weapons and Tactics team (SWAT), to "fill the gaps" left by the disbanded SARS.
But protesters said on Wednesday they feared the new unit will simply be a rebranded version of SARS.
Hundreds gathered on Wednesday in the capital Abuja, as well as megacity Lagos and Warri -- both in the south -- to press their calls for police reforms.
"What they do is... give them new uniforms, call them a different name, but they are still the same people in these police forces," said blogger Folu Oyefeso, in Lagos.
Demonstrators in Lagos, who gathered despite heavy rain, sang, danced and chanted. Many held placards, including one that read "Stop killing our dreamers. #EndSARS now."
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a statement on Wednesday, urged protesters to wind down demonstrations, saying that the gridlock caused in recent days had disrupted businesses still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.
"People are just coming back to businesses. It would be unfair for those businesses not to be able to get back on their feet again," he said.

African Development: Auschwitz director offers to serve Nigerian teen's sharia sentence
Piotr Cywinski, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, has written to the president of Nigeria requesting the pardon of a 13-year-old boy sentenced to 10 years in prison for blasphemy, Cywinski has tweeted.
"As the director of the Auschwitz Memorial, that commemorates the victims and preserves the remains of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp, where children were imprisoned and murdered, I cannot remain indifferent to this disgraceful sentence for humanity," Cywinski wrote in the letter dated September 25.
A copy of the letter to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in the matter of 13-year-old Omar Farouk was posted on the Auschwitz museum's Twitter account. In it, the museum director declared he was willing to serve part of the boy's sentence. "(...) if it turns out that the words of this child absolutely require 120 months of imprisonment, and even you are not able to change that, I suggest that in place of the child, 120 adult volunteers from all over the world, gathered by us - myself personally among them - should each serve a month in a Nigerian prison," he wrote.
Cywinski wrote that the boy "Should not be subjected to the loss of the entirety of his youth, be deprived of opportunities, and stigmatized physically, emotionally, and educationally for the rest of his life," arguing that Farouk was too young to be held responsible for his words.
The 13-year-old was sentenced to 10 years in prison with forced hard labour because during a fight with a classmate at school he used words considered blasphemy in reference to Allah. In 12 Nigerian states, mostly in the north of the country where sharia law is in force, blasphemy can be punished with the death sentence, despite the Nigerian government declaring a withdrawal from the punishment four years ago.
Farouk's case has drawn protests globally. On September 16, UNICEF's representative in Nigeria, Peter Hawkins, filed an official protest with the country's president, pointing out that Nigeria was a signatory to chid rights treaties that were breached by the sentence.

Pope Francis meets Georgetown faculty and students in international conference on religious freedom
On Dec. 14, six Georgetown students, professors and staff members had the opportunity to meet Pope Francis. They were attending an international conference on religious freedom organized and sponsored by Georgetown's Religious Freedom Project, part of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs.
The conference, entitled "Christianity and Freedom: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives" and held from Dec. 13-14 in Rome, explored Christianity's contributions to freedom, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, despite persecution and opposition. Dozens of scholars around the world, including those from Georgetown, also presented the findings of a two-year study on the subject.
The six Georgetown representatives who attended the private audience were Kevin Sullivan (SFS' 14), Nick Fedyk (SFS' 14), RFP director Tom Farr, RFP associate director Timothy Shah, Kyle Vander Meulen, and A.J. Nolte.
"He literally exudes humility and kindness in his very being," Sullivan said. "He walks very intently, takes the time to make eye contact and smile at everyone in the room, and chuckles even though I don't think he understood some of our jokes."
During the audience, the Pope learned more about the RFP and the purpose of its conference. "He told all of us, 'Go on!'," Shah said. "This gentle exhortation was a profoundly moving affirmation and inspiration for our work, at a time when far too many people around the world are denied religious freedom."
After the meeting, the Berkley Center tweeted a photo (shown above) of Pope Francis standing in front of a group of faculty and students and holding up a Georgetown scarf.
"His gesture and good humor with the Georgetown scarf I provided for the picture connected our history and mission of the university to that of the representative of the Church," Sullivan said.
William Peter Blatty (COL '50), Georgetown alumnus and author of The Exorcist, recently submitted a Canon Law petition that has reached the Vatican. While the papacy has yet to release an official response to the petition, surely this conference and meeting with Pope Francis reaffirms our Catholic identity…right?
Editor's Note: Vox has edited the post to include more details of the Pope's audience with the Georgetown representatives.

5 Comments on "Pope Francis meets Georgetown faculty and students in international conference on religious freedom"
Can Vox please stop omitting the fact that Manuel Miranda is the founder and head of the Stewards? Lots of interests never mentioned when discussing Blatty's chagrins
I don't understand the "news hook" of making this whole post about the Blatty petition–which would have been timely more than 2 months ago when the latest development happened (source: http://www.gupetition.org/), but Vox curiously ran no posts about it–rather than writing about the actual meeting between the Pope and Georgetown staff/students, which is in and of itself really freaking cool. Why no reporting on when, where, how, or why this encounter happened? Maybe some quotes? Context? Anything?
On a different note: "Former alumnus"? Was Miranda's degree rescinded?
SIR ROGER DE COVERLY
The article is ignorant and foolish. First, Blatty's petition has never cited blasphemy, yet one suspects the writer of this article so avers because with vaunted Georgetown education he hasn't the vaguest notion of the meaning of the word "blasphemy." Secondly, the photo was taken on the occasion of a Rome Georgetown sponsored conference relating to the growing worldwide persecution of Christianity, and Georgetown's participation in such being a very good thing,
even the signers of Blatty's petition would be proud of Georgetown's activity in that field. Meantime, here's the foolish part: obviously the Pope is standing there with these noble purposed group, one of whom puts this banner — scarf? — into his hands for a photo in a moment of good feeling. Who knows whether Francis is even aware of the Petition, but even if he were the photo has zero significance regarding it. Get a grip, children!
This (updated version) is a fantastic post. Super informative, and tells a pretty exciting story.
The Joke Is On The Pope
I think the joke that the Pope especially did not get was the scandal he gives by this sign of personal approval for Georgetown's many scandals. Baylor University's president Ken Starr, just to the Pope's right, gets the joke and chuckles when the Pope is made to hold a Georgetown scarf/banner.
His Holiness is now becoming a question of prudential judgment.

Paul O'Grady to replace "sister" Cilla Black as host of Blind Date
The presenter and comedian will front a revamped series of the Saturday night dating show, which is moving to Channel 5
By Paul Jones
Thursday, 16th March 2017 at 11:45 am
Paul O'Grady has been confirmed as the host of Channel 5's new revamped series of classic Saturday night show Blind Date.
The presenter and comedian formerly known as Lily Savage will step into the shoes of his close friend Cilla Black, who died in 2015 and fronted the show on its original home of ITV between 1985 and 2003.
In an emotional tribute recorded after her death in the Blind Date studio, O'Grady referred to Cilla's catch-phrases from the show, saying "There is no 'Number 1, what's your name and where do you come from?' There is no more calling out for out Our Graham and certainly no more lorra lorra laughs." At her funeral he described her as "like a sister" to him.
Channel 5 says the show has now "been updated for the 21st century, as a new generation of love-seeking characters compete against each other to hook up with their potential love match".
One of those updates will see LGBT contestants competing for the first time but the format will remain largely the same, retaining the famous sliding panel between contestants, the three questions and also aiming to bring back "the humour, charm and cheekiness of the original show".
Blind Date was know for its innuendo-drenched questions and answers and its camp appeal, something that should suit O'Grady to a tee.
The new host said "Blind Date is an incredibly special family show which brought laughter, tears and joy to TV viewers throughout the land. I am honoured to present the brand new series and, after speaking to Channel 5, I know the series is in safe hands. I can't wait to see if we can find love."

Kåre Becker (Lusaka, 27 januari 1978) is een Nederlands voormalig voetballer.

Kåre Becker werd in Zambia geboren en kwam na omzwervingen in Noord-Ierland en Noorwegen op vijfjarige leeftijd in Nederland terecht. Bij Vitesse Delft zette hij zijn eerste stappen op het voetbalveld. Zes jaar later werd hij tijdens een jeugdtoernooi gescout door Wim Jansen van Feyenoord. Via de jeugd van Feyenoord en De Graafschap kwam de jonge spits terecht bij FC Twente. Ook de keuzeheer van Oranje onder 18 jaar kreeg hem in het vizier.

Becker debuteerde op 4 oktober 1995 in het eerste elftal van FC Twente. In een uitwedstrijd tegen De Graafschap viel hij in de 78e minuut in voor Joeri Petrov. Twee seizoenen later kreeg hij nog invalbeurten, onder andere in een bekerwedstrijd tegen Sparta en in zowel de thuis- als uitwedstrijd in de UEFA Cup tegen AJ Auxerre. In 2000 werd Becker verhuurd aan streekgenoot Heracles Almelo. Met Heracles bereikte Becker echter geen overeenkomst over een transfersom en na het seizoen werd Becker verkocht aan FC Zwolle waarmee hij het kampioenschap van de Eerste divisie behaalde.

Hierna speelde Becker in de eerste klasse bij Sportclub Enschede en haalde Theo Vonk hem naar Eintracht Nordhorn in de Duitse Oberliga. Door diverse omstandigheden vertrok Becker in november 2003 uit Duitsland. Later sloot hij zich aan bij amateurvereniging De Tubanters 1897. In het seizoen 2005/06 kreeg hij de kans om een contract te krijgen bij TOP Oss. Een ernstige blessure, opgelopen bij een duel van oud-FC Twente, gooide echter roet in het eten.

Vanaf het seizoen 2008/09 was Becker werkzaam als jeugdtrainer bij achtereenvolgens KVV Losser, De Tubanters 1897 en HVV Hengelo. Hierna was Becker werkzaam bij VOSTA en vervolgens bij de jeugd van Achilles '12. Vanaf het seizoen 2018/2019 gaat hij aan de slag als hoofdtrainer van cvv Achilles. Aan eind van seizoen 2020/21 nam hij afscheid bij CVV Achilles.

IDA-STEP v4 is installed in a two step process; you first install the basic framework on your computer and then, after IDA-STEP is started, the second part of the installation takes place which automatically downloads and install the free and paid components by direct Internet access to our servers. This process is called "online installation" and requires that your computer settings (e.g. firewall) allows IDA-STEP to access the Internet, For the free IDA-STEP Viewer Basic this is the only available installation method. For regular paid licenses an alternative method for the second installation process - the so called "offline installation" is available. For this it is sufficient to have Internet access with any browser on any computer. With a good Internet connection the complete installation (online or offline) should not take you more than 15 minutes.
Note: For Linux and MAC OS X you first have to extract the IDA-STEP archive into a folder before you can start the executable from there.
Second step: After the initial installation start IDA-STEP. The "Register, Update and Install" dialoge will show up.
Select either "Free license" or "Enter license ID" if you purchased one. IDA-STEP then connects to the Internet and displays available components to download (for the free license this is "Viewer: Basic"). Select all of the offered components for installation and follow the given instructions. At the end IDA-STEP restarts and the installation is finished.
View detailed installation instructions for IDA-STEP v4 here.
When processing the second installation step with the "Free license" option, a free one year single computer "IDA-STEP Viewer Basic" license is automatically granted to you. You can repeat this process at any time (e.g. after one year) and on as many computers as you like. You can use the granted license for any purpose, including commercial, private and academic use.
Read more about IDA-STEP Viewer Pro 3D here.
Besides the Basic and enhanced Pro-3D viewer other components are available for IDA-STEP v4. To add additional components, purchase them using the online LKSoft shop. After the purchase is processed, the purchased components are available for installation (Second step above). You can either choose to enter a new license ID or update your existing license using the IDA-STEP v4 Register dialog (click on Help › Register, Update and Install...).

If you've read my story, you'll know how much learning how to program has changed my life. I've gone from working at a passionless job to working at one of the most competitive tech companies in the world doing something I greatly enjoy. If you've also been thinking about learning how to program, I'd like to devote a few posts to get you started.
Today's post is about selecting your first programming language to learn. Selecting languages and frameworks can always be a bit of a holy war, so I'll stress that this is a personal choice and these recommendations are based on my opinions and area of expertise, which is web development. If you're interested in mobile app development, games, systems programming, or something else, this post won't be nearly as useful to you.
It honestly doesn't really matter which language you choose to start, so you shouldn't feel the need to hem and haw about it too much. A large majority of concepts that you learn are going to be applicable to other languages. Languages are also constantly evolving, so even the more specific features of one language may wind up making their way into another language in the future as well. That being said, you still have to pick one, so it's good to get at least a little guidance on how to do so.
Tools — You shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel when you're writing code. You'll want to choose a language that offers well-tested tools, libraries, and frameworks that people are using on other live sites.
Community — Somewhat related to the above, if no one is using it, no one will be releasing new tools or updating the old ones. Having a strong community also means people to answer your questions on StackOverflow or other Q&A sites.
Getting started quickly — There's a lot of magic in being able to go through a short "Getting Started" tutorial and to immediately open your browser and see it render something cool you've created. Learning programming is hard work, and I believe it's important for a lot of people to be able to experience this magic before being sold on going down this path all the way. There are languages that are a real slog to get started in, and it's possible to optimize for this quality when selecting your first language.
Syntax — Maybe a bit trivial compared to the other three factors listed here but I like languages that do a lot with few lines of code and are easy to read.
Python is commonly thought of as offering a good balance between being explicit and concise. I would say it's the most easy-to-learn language on this list because of how explicit it is about everything it's doing, and its syntax is clean and easy-to-read. These qualities make it the tool of choice for teaching Computer Science many in university courses. The most popular frameworks that I know of are Django, Flask, and Pyramid.
I want to put Ruby higher on this list because I like it so much, but I'm not sure I can. Syntactically it resonates the most with me because everything is designed for maximum conciseness. It abstracts away so many details to allow you to write code that resembles plain English. However, the dark magic involved in accomplishing this goal is a double-edged sword, as it can be incredibly difficult to understand what is wrong if something does go wrong. The implication for beginners is that 95% of the time when you do something in Ruby you'll be thinking "wow, that was incredibly easy", but the other 5% of the time you will be questioning all your life decisions. The other main criticism of Ruby is that it's slow, and many companies, most notably Twitter, have switched from Ruby to Java after Ruby's slowness could no longer be tolerated.
I wouldn't recommend Java as a first language for most people, but if you want to come right out of the gate learning more of a foundational understanding of Computer Science, Java offers a good balance between some high-level abstraction and understanding what your computer is actually doing when you run a piece of code. Another perk is that basically all other languages geared towards web development will seem quite easy by comparison if and when you learn them!
Despite how long I spent talking about the pros and cons of the different languages here, I just wanted to stress that the most important thing is just to pick a language and to start creating something awesome. Start with really simple things that would be useful to you. For instance, my very first app was a Java flash card app to help my now-wife study for her GREs. Doing something that matters to you will help keep you motivated to finish your projects. In my next post, I'll sum up some of the resources that have helped me do that and will hopefully help you too.
