New York - The results of the Peoples' Climate Vote, the world's biggest ever survey of public opinion on climate change are published today. Covering 50 countries with over half of the world's population, the survey includes over half a million people under the age of 18, a key constituency on climate change that is typically unable to vote yet in regular elections.
Detailed results broken down by age, gender, and education level will be shared with governments around the world by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which organized the innovative poll with the University of Oxford. In many participating countries, it is the first time that large-scale polling of public opinion has ever been conducted on the topic of climate change. 2021 is a pivotal year for countries' climate action commitments, with a key round of negotiations set to take place at the UN Climate Summit in November in Glasgow, UK.
In the survey, respondents were asked if climate change was a global emergency and whether they supported eighteen key climate policies across six action areas: economy, energy, transport, food & farms, nature and protecting people.
Results show that people often want broad climate policies beyond the current state of play. For example, in eight of the ten survey countries with the highest emissions from the power sector, majorities backed more renewable energy. In four out of the five countries with the highest emissions from land-use change and enough data on policy preferences, there was majority support for conserving forests and land. Nine out of ten of the countries with the most urbanized populations backed more use of clean electric cars and buses, or bicycles.
UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner said: "The results of the survey clearly illustrate that urgent climate action has broad support amongst people around the globe, across nationalities, age, gender and education level. But more than that, the poll reveals how people want their policymakers to tackle the crisis. From climate-friendly farming to protecting nature and investing in a green recovery from COVID-19, the survey brings the voice of the people to the forefront of the climate debate. It signals ways in which countries can move forward with public support as we work together to tackle this enormous challenge."
The innovative survey was distributed across mobile gaming networks in order to include hard-to-reach audiences in traditional polling, like youth under the age of 18. Polling experts at the University of Oxford weighted the huge sample to make it representative of the age, gender, and education population profiles of the countries in the survey, resulting in small margins of error of +/- 2%.
Policies had wide-ranging support, with the most popular being conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%).
Prof. Stephen Fisher, Department of Sociology, University of Oxford, said: "The survey - the biggest ever survey of public opinion on climate change - has shown us that mobile gaming networks can not only reach a lot of people, they can engage different kinds of people in a diverse group of countries. The Peoples' Climate Vote has delivered a treasure trove of data on public opinion that we've never seen before. Recognition of the climate emergency is much more widespread than previously thought. We've also found that most people clearly want a strong and wide-raging policy response."
The survey shows a direct link between a person's level of education and their desire for climate action. There was very high recognition of the climate emergency among those who had attended university or college in all countries, from lower-income countries such as Bhutan (82%) and Democratic Republic of the Congo (82%), to wealthy countries like France (87%) and Japan (82%).
The percentage of a population estimated to support a particular policy does not indicate that those who did not are against the same policy, since not endorsing a policy could also be due to indifference to it. The country results present what people think who are physically in a particular country. They are not representative of what nationals of a particular country think. So for example, they are representative not of what French people think, but of people in France.
UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and planet.

Feds: Students With Disabilities Most Often Restrained
by Michelle Diament | March 7, 2012
First-ever national data released Tuesday indicates that students with disabilities are significantly more likely than others to be restrained at school.
The new statistics come from a survey of 72,000 schools, representing 85 percent of the nation's students, that was conducted by the U.S. Department of Education.
In all, 38,792 of the students represented in the survey were physically restrained by an adult at school during the 2009-2010 academic year. The vast majority of those restrained — 69 percent — had disabilities, even though students with special needs made up just 12 percent of the survey sample.
This is the first time that information on restraint and seclusion was solicited as part of the Education Department's regular civil rights data collection. The government agency began releasing findings this week broken down by location as well as some results from the national sample. However, a full picture from across the country is not expected for another month, officials said.
In addition to the disproportionate use of restraint on students with disabilities, the Education Department data indicated that boys are more likely than girls to be subject to restraint and seclusion. What's more, students from some racial groups were more frequently subject to the disciplinary tactics.
Meanwhile, students with disabilities were more than twice as likely to receive out-of-school suspensions as compared to their typically developing peers, the survey found.
The findings were released the same day disability advocates at the National Disability Rights Network issued a report blasting the Education Department for failing to do more to rein in the use of restraint and seclusion in schools.
The organization first brought concerns about the tactics to the forefront in 2009 with a report that found dozens of cases of injury and even death resulting from the practices.
Since that time, members of Congress have attempted to pass legislation to limit restraint and seclusion in schools, but to no avail. (Read all of Disability Scoop's coverage of restraint and seclusion »)
"(The Department of Education) has not provided any meaningful leadership to reduce the use of restraint and seclusion — despite the fact that students are continuing to be confined, tied up, pinned down, battered and nearly killed on a regular basis," said Curt Decker, executive director of the National Disability Rights Network, in the organization's latest report.
The group is urging federal education officials to issue "strong national guidance" to schools about the use of restraint and seclusion much like they have done to address concerns about bullying.
Last year, Alexa Posny, the Education Department's top special education official indicated that such guidance would be forthcoming, but it has yet to be released.

Since I've started practicing intermediate series I've had trouble falling asleep. I also wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time falling back to sleep. Do you have any tips?
The intermediate series is a stimulating and dynamic practice. It is not uncommon for students to experience many changes in their lives as the postures begin to weave themselves into the subtle body. Before we go into this, let's look at the primary series and go from there.
The Primary Series is called 'Yoga Chikitsa' or yoga therapy. The focus is on detoxing the physical body. First, the postures work to 'wring' the internal organs. Correct foot and heel position, binding etc is crucial. The wringing action squeezes stagnant blood and toxins from the muscles/organs. The vinyasa between postures provides fresh blood to those same areas and as the body moves, internal heat is cultivated. Next, steady rhythmic breathing is what keeps the heat sustained and supported; the vehicle for detoxification. This breathing induces a calming and meditative effect on the mind and pratyahara (sense withdrawal) is possible. When we combine all of these actions simultaneously we experience Yoga. Detoxification is happening on mind AND body.
It is common for practitioners to experience flu like symptoms as the purification process takes place. This is one of the reasons daily practice is important. The impulse will be to rest however unless there is fever, practice daily (5-6 days, moon days off) so toxins can be thoroughly removed. This does not mean that you will never get sick or that the body remains in a perfectly cleansed state. We are constantly taking in toxins either through food/water, our environment or even the way in which we think/speak to ourselves and others. It simply means that we are in a certain state of balance. As a friend and teacher once said 'Between life and death there is illness and recovery'. Our purpose in life is to find a place that is balanced for as long as possible.
Intermediate series is called 'Nadi Shodhana'. Now that the physical body is (more or less) purified, we begin to work on the subtle body, the Nadi system. Some explain this as 'purification of the nervous system' but it's more subtle than this. The subtle body is made up of chakras, pranic streams known as vayus (5 pranas) and nadis, the passageways in which the life force (prana) can move freely and evenly. These passageways are clogged and unbalanced in most people. They must be purified before a practitioner is able to experience higher and more subtle states of Yoga.
Throughout the intermediate series the postures bend and twist the spine, the largest nerve channel in the body, creating a 'Nerve Cleansing' effect. This precise work on the spine will create a stimulating effect on the subtle body which can show up in several ways. For some this includes difficulty sleeping, peaks and valleys in energy level and heightened emotional response/reactivity…for starters. Where you stop in the intermediate series will change how you experience the day to day, moment to moment.
Here's what I love about the Ashtanga method. It requires you to take care of yourself. Seriously. Not some times, not part-time, all the time. Late nights, partying, drinking, drugs and gossiping, even once in awhile, will create more devastation to the body, mind and spirit once this cleansing process has begun. Be respectful of this powerful system. Move through your day intelligently, with awareness and Ahimsa. Rest to let the practice work in a beneficial way. Without proper rest, there will be problems both physical and psychological.
Here are some suggestions for getting the rest that you need.
1) Make sure you practice the entire finishing sequence without shortcuts or time constraints.
Many students rush through the finishing part of the practice either because they have not allowed enough time or they consider it a 'cool down'. The finishing sequence is very important and crucial for the entire practice and in your daily life. The finishing sequence neutralizes the physical and subtle body, nervous and other systems etc. Bringing everything to balance, this is where most physical pain (especially back pain) can be alleviated. This provides a subtle protection as you go out into the world.
In fact, this is where the truly ancient and essential postures are practiced. For example, Sirsasana and Sarvangasana are considered the king and queen of all asanas. Their benefits include purifying the blood, lungs, heart, stomach, digestive system and strengthening Amrita Bindu. Each asana in finishing has many benefits. See 'Yoga Mala' by Sri K Pattabhi Jois for further information Sarvangasana pg 111 &112 and Sirsasana pg 119-123.
I recommend 50 breaths in Sarvangasana and Sirsasana and 15 breaths in all the other postures. Consider this another practice and allow yourself 30 minutes for finishing.
2) Keep all electronics out of the bedroom.
Viewing a brightly lit screen can create insomnia. They have a direct alerting effect and a melatonin-suppressing effect as well. Get an old fashioned alarm clock and keep the phones, iPads and computers outside of the bedroom.
3) Spend the last hour or so before bed, getting ready for bed – the hours for sleep are meant to be healing. Prepare for this by creating rituals that support the process.
No internet surfing at least an hour before bed.
10 minute light meditation is helpful.
Take an oil bath or shower with almond or coconut oil (depending on your Ayurvedic constitution) before bed.
Drink warm milk with cinnamon and honey. I prefer to flash pasteurize raw milk myself.
Banyan Botanicals 'Tranquil Mind' is great for calming the mind without leaving you feeling lethargic or mentally constipated.
Use sugar moderately. This can be challenging for an Ashtangi. We tend to reach for sugar as an immediate energy boost. The crash later, weakened immune system and lowered energy levels will inevitably effect practice, day-to-day job and activities. Generally speaking, not worth it. Instead try fruits, (though not past 4pm as this ferments in the stomach turning into vata, gas, flatulence) dates, sweet potato mash. Sweet foods that are nourishing and soothing to the soul.
No caffeine past noon. While Sharath Jois is a well known advocate of coffee, 'No coffee, No prana', he's referring to South Indian coffee which is a much lighter version mixed with chicory, milk and sugar. It is not the keep you up for three days version we have here in the west. Use moderately, no problem.
Eat more whole foods and less processed foods, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Cook for yourself more. Eat out less. Restaurants exist by making a profit, not healing you. The more you eat out, the more likely you will be eating frozen, processed, GMO foods and other additives and preservatives. Shopping and cooking for yourself will ensure you are eating what you want/need. You will feel better and your savings account will too.
Hopefully this will provide some helpful tips. Moving through the daily practice without completely driving yourself (and others) crazy is possible, enjoy!

Broadband providers told to promote their deals for low-income families after millions miss out
Some 4.2 million universal credit claimants are eligible for discounted broadband – but only 55,000 people have signed up.

Broadband providers have been told to start promoting their deals for low-income families after it was revealed millions are missing out on a potential £144 annual saving.
Some 4.2 million universal credit claimants are eligible for discounted broadband packages known as 'social tariffs'. But regulator Ofcom says only 55,000 people have signed up to them – just 1.2 per cent.
Matthew Upton, policy director at Citizens Advice, said: "We know that one in 10 people aren't confident they'll be able to pay their broadband bill in the next three months. This comes as the majority of us face huge increases on our broadband bill, piling on yet more pressure in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.

"It's been more than six months since Ofcom and the government started pushing social tariffs as an answer, but the shameful 1 per cent take-up says it all. It's people on the lowest incomes who are missing out."
Around 1.1 million households are struggling to currently afford broadband. The figure rises to approximately one in 10 for families from low-income backgrounds.
The current six broadband providers offering the discount are: BT, Virgin Media, O2, Community Fibre, G.Network, Hyperoptic, KCOM. The packages are between £10 and £20 a month for broadband speeds ranging from 10Mbit/s to 67Mbit/s.
The survey found that 84 per cent of individuals on benefits are unaware of social tariffs. Ofcom emphasises the importance of raising awareness about the introduction of social tariffs, as broadband providers have had limited exposure in promoting them.
O2 and Good Things Foundation have launched the National Databank – like a food bank for digital data, where data is donated so people who need it most can access essential services and keep connected with loved ones. Big Issue vendors will now be getting free data from the Databank too thanks to our new partnership
Lindsey Fussel, network and communications director of Ofcom said: "Special discounts can make all the difference, and too many broadband firms are failing either to promote their social tariff or to offer one at all. We expect companies to step up support for those on low incomes, and we'll be watching their response."

Introduction ; SPA or LESS or SILS became demanding for the excellent cosmetic results as minimaly invassive procedure in the surgical field . we have started cholecystectomy by SILS port in May 2009 for cholecystectomy and bariatric surgery for sleeve and banding.
Method ; 23 patients without acute cholecystitis and not thickened GB wall were selected using the SILS port through the umbilicus making an incision in the upper part inside the umbilicus in semicircular shape then dessecting to reach the fascia where we do a transverse cut . Reaching the peritoneum , a pneumoperitoneum is made and the 12 mm port is inserted in the SILS then in the abdomen making a space to fit the SILS well inside. Operative time, pain , wound infection and hospital stay is calculated comparing the results with our normal lap aroscopic cholecystectomies.
Results: SILS cholecystectomy is more painful procedure 5/10 vs 3/10 in normal laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operative time is slightly more , 83 min compared with 65 min in the normal lap chole. Hospital stay was the same of 3 days and wound infection is more in the SILS and we have to wait the time if there will be an increment of umblical hernia formatom in the new technique .
Conclusion: the excellent cosmetic results of SILS is demanding as a good method for cholecystectomy in non – complicated cases inspite of the prolonged operative time and the challanging technique which will improve its instruments with the time to facilitate the job.


To create a new brand identity for a library in New Jersey. They wanted an iconic logo that would appeal to their wide ranging demographic of patrons.
Using modern, sans serif fonts and a custom icon, we created a vibrant and memorable logo for this library. The shapes in the icon indicate the shape of the letter "M," and the open pages of a book.


Many people are only just beginning to realize the joys of organic horticulture. With the application of the simple, yet effective advice in this article, you should soon be able to cultivate your own flourishing organic garden. Save yourself a lot of time and efforts by learning more the many different resources available.
Plant seeds in pots that have a rich soil to give them a strong start. They are then more likely to survive and to become thriving, mature plants. It also permits you to tighten the time between plantings. As soon as you harvest the mature plants in your garden, your new seedlings will be large enough to plant outside!
TIP! In order for plants to grow, they must have enough CO2. Typically, the higher the levels of carbon dioxide present in a plant's environment, the better it will grow.
Brighten up your flower beds with annuals and biennials. These flowers grow quickly and can be planted at any time during the year. If you want to maintain a flower garden all year or you want to add new flowers to reflect the changing seasons, annuals and biennials are for you. They can make a handy, gap-filler between shrubs and perennials located in sunny areas. Some flowers you can use are rudbekia, petunias, cosmos, marigolds, or sunflowers.
TIP! Take all of the weeds out of your landscaping! Weeds can truly ruin a good garden. White vinegar has been known to kill weeds quickly.
TIP! When mowing your lawn do not cut it as short as possible. If you allow your grass to grow a little longer, the roots will go down deeper into the dirt, helping the grass grow better and remain hydrated.
TIP! Vegetable plants should be planted where they can benefit from a minimum of six hours of sunlight every day. Most vegetables need this amount of sunlight to grow the right way at a faster pace.
One way to correct your soil's alkalinity is by amending your soil with used coffee grounds. This is a great and cheap way to increase the acid levels in your dirt. With it, you will find that your greens and vegetables will be more vibrant and tasty!
TIP! If your landscape includes low-growing plants, you should invest in a set of knee pads specifically designed for gardening. Excessive time spent kneeling often results in significant stiffness and pain.
Do you hate how fresh mint leaves grow and take over your lovely garden but still like them? You can control their growth by placing them into a pot or container. You can simply put the container below the soil level. Once you do, the container will constrain the roots, preventing them from overshadowing all of your other plants.
There are several all-natural ways to keep pests out of your garden, including certain plants. For example, planting a border consisting of marigolds or onions can repel slugs. Wood ash, when used like mulch, can keep away pests after it is spread around a tree base and shrub seedlings. These methods are environmentally-friendly and mean you do not have to resort to harsh chemicals.
As stated earlier, applying organic horticulture methods requires only a modest amount of time and effort. Use the tips you found here, mixed with some of your own ideas, to have a productive, environmentally friendly garden. It doesn't matter what you're trying to grow, the tips you learned can help you be successful.


Former government employee fights for workers' compensation | Jerome, Gibson, Stewart, Stevenson, Engle & Runbeck, P.C.
On behalf of Jerome, Gibson, Stewart, Stevenson, Engle & Runbeck, P.C. posted in Workplace Injuries on Wednesday, February 6, 2013.
Although Arizonians may be grateful for what they see as an efficient workers' comp system that can get employees compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, everyone in this state needs to remember that not all workers' compensation claims get processed without a time-consuming and stressful legal battle.
A man in another state recently found this out after being hurt at work. A relatively new county employee, the man was doing well in life until he seriously injured his hand while on the job. A bungee hook impaled the man's hand, requiring him to take time off and seek medical treatment.
To make matters worse for the worker and his family, he developed what doctors call "conversion disorder." Conversion disorder is a condition in which a person shows symptoms of a neurological problem, such as significant pain, but which doctors cannot explain via any other diagnosis.
The worker's now-former employer may have doubted some parts of his story. Although the worker claims that his doctors had not cleared him to do so, the county ordered him to return to work. Eventually, the county fired the man, accusing him of abandoning his duties. The man maintains that he was off work for medical reasons, reasons which the county would not accommodate.
The man and his family have suffered considerable economic hardship since the man lost his job. They are now looking at having to leave their rental property, but they have no family income with which to secure another home. Since the man's wife has to spend much of her day helping her husband with his condition, the family has been scraping money together by selling things off and applying for government assistance. The man claims that he has worked since he was 15 and now simply needs support from his employer so that he can provide for his family.
The man's current battle with his former employer revolves around his eligibility for a disability pension that he may be able to receive because he was a public employee. However, the ultimate issue is the same as with many workers' compensation cases, in that the county appears unwilling to acknowledge that the man's current conditions relate back to his injury on the job. Workers in Arizona dealing with scenarios like this should consider working with a legal professional in order to ensure their rights are protected.

Die evangelische Dorfkirche Kemlitz ist eine Saalkirche im Rundbogenstil in Kemlitz, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Dahme/Mark im Landkreis Teltow-Fläming im Land Brandenburg. Die Kirchengemeinde gehört zum Kirchenkreis Zossen-Fläming der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz.

Lage
Die Bundesstraße 102 führt in Nord-Süd-Richtung durch den Ort. Südlich zu ihr verläuft die Dorfstraße und führt in den historischen Ortskern. Die Kirche steht nördlich dieser Verbindung.

Geschichte
Kemlitz wurde 1217, eine Kirche bereits 1253 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde der vorhandene Sakralbau schwer beschädigt und erst 1715 durch einen hölzernen Neubau ersetzt. 1842 kam der Ort und damit auch das Kirchenpatronat in den Besitz des Gutsherren Carl August von Engelbrecht. Nur ein Jahr später brannte es im Ort und die hölzerne Kirche wurde zerstört. Bereits 1847 verkaufte Engelbrecht das Gut an die Erben des Amtsrates Friedrich Ernst sowie den Kammerrat Friedrich Wilhelm von Unger, die es fortan gemeinsam bewirtschafteten. Das 1856 unter ihrem Einfluss nach einem Entwurf des Bauinspektors Rupprecht errichtete Kirchengebäude wurde zum Anfang der 2000er Jahre saniert. Die Kirche wird im 21. Jahrhundert für kulturelle Veranstaltungen wie Foto- oder Kunstausstellungen genutzt.

Baubeschreibung
Die Kirche entstand im Wesentlichen aus gelblichem Mauerstein und wurde auf einem schmalen Fundament aus unbehauenen und nicht lagig geschichteten Feldsteinen errichtet. Die halbrunde Apsis ist stark eingezogen und besitzt an ihrer Ostseite eine gedrückt-segmentbogenförmige Pforte. Darüber ist ein umlaufendes Gesims, das sich am Kirchenschiff fortsetzt.

Dessen Ostwand ist fensterlos. Mittig im Giebel ist eine kleine, hochrechteckige Öffnung. Der Giebel besitzt am Übergang zum Dach einen Fries. Das Schiff hat einen rechteckigen Grundriss. An der Nord- und Südseite sind je drei große Rundbogenfenster.

Der Zugang zum Bauwerk erfolgt durch ein großes Portal von der Westseite. Es wird von zwei gekuppelten, seitlich angeordneten Rundbogen begleitet. Darüber ist ein großes Ochsenauge, das von zwei seitlich angeordneten, hochrechteckigen Öffnungen begleitet wird. Oberhalb des schlichten Satteldaches erhebt sich ein kleiner Dachreiter mit einer Glocke.

Ausstattung
Die einfache, hölzerne Kirchenausstattung stammt aus der Bauzeit. Der Altar mit Paramenten von Magdalena Heinrich wird dabei von einer halbkreisförmig angeordneten Sakristei umrahmt. Darüber wurde die Kanzel platziert. Zur weiteren Kirchenausstattung gehört ein Kronleuchter, der 2016 restauriert wurde. Die Orgel von 1865 war im Jahr 2019 nicht spielbar.

Firstly I must praise the Tooled-up staff for their excellent service when I had a payment issue dealt with by the team. The Ryobi trimmer head is the second I've bought from them in 3 years and its the proper replacement. My only complaint is a material design one where the base plate material is not hard wearing enough. I always try and "Float" the head when using it but despite my best efforts it seems to wear out and is the Achilles heel of the assembly. Good for the first two years then seems to go downhill quickly.
Instead of simply buying a spool of line i thought it worthwhile to replace the complete head as the machine works hard and does a good job - with consequent wear to the head.
The product does the job - no problems. Unlike the cut lengths of strimmer line supplied as spares with my ryobi strimmer/ brush cutter bought last year. They do not fit/ can't be fitted and no help given by supplier. To use the strimmer lengths i needed an extra strimmer head - cost about £16.Very poor customer service.
Brilliant, exactly what i needed as the old one had worn out after 5 years hard use. This one looks to be exactly the same so i think it will last another 5 years. Easy to replace too.
It was exactly the right part and has done the job.

On Saturday night, I went along to the Sydney University Drama Society production of Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen, and very much enjoyed it.
In the 1880's, when it was first produced, Ghosts caused quite a scandal because of its discussion of sexually transmitted infections. To our standards, the discussion might appear subtle to the point of non-existence, but then again, a lot of modern theatre makers would feel the need to present the audience with a scene showing precisely how the characters got the STI in the first place.
This production, directed by Finn Davis, plays to the strengths of student theatre. Despite the characters ranging in age from early twenties to at least mid forties, all the actors are young. And they do good work. Diana Reid's vocal work is particularly impressive. (However, the production as a whole would benefit from a more textured pace.) The set by Kryssa Karavolas is a beautifully simple white box, with an impressive (but suitably understated) mural on the upstage wall, exorcising the production of any alienating naturalism. The nineteenth century is evoked only gently by costuming.
The impact of all this is to prevent the play becoming trapped in its original context.
The characters talk a lot about 'reputation' and 'duty', and the easy way to deal with this challenge might be to dismiss such stuff as rather quaint. But a stripped back production like this makes that a difficult avoidance strategy to implement. Admittedly, reputation in the nineteenth century often hinged on one's sexual behaviour, but an obsession with how we're perceived by others is hardly a demon we've slain. And the renaming of vices as virtues (in the play 'cowardice' is rebranded as 'duty') is a life-denying habit that still haunts us.

Comparable sausages cost 25k-30kg so this will save you money in the long run and they are much better when making yourself! Pick up in Songdo.

Q: pandas groupby and then select a row by value of column (min,max, for example) Let's say I have a dataframe
Category Data1 column1
A 'SOMEDATA' 10
A 'SOMEDATA' 2
A 'SOMEDATA' -10
B 'SOMEDATA' 10
B 'SOMEDATA' 1
B 'SOMEDATA' -10

and so on
I'd like to select a one row in each group by column value.  For example, ABS(column1)
So resulting data is
Category Data1 column1
A 'SOMEDATA' 2
B 'SOMEDATA'  1

How can I do this in python?
I couldn't figure out how to return entire row.  For example,
df.groupby('Category')['column1'].min();

this would only return 'Category' min(column1)  only.

A: Here is a solution that is more computationally efficient.
TL;DR version
df.loc[df.groupby('Category')['column1'].idxmin()]

A: sort then .drop_duplicates, if you want single minimum row based on absolute value.
(df.assign(to_sort = df.column1.abs()).sort_values('to_sort')
     .drop_duplicates('Category').drop(columns='to_sort'))

  Category       Data1  column1
4        B  'SOMEDATA'        1
1        A  'SOMEDATA'        2

Sort can only sort on existing columns, so we need to create the column of absolute values (with .assign). Sorting then ensures the minumum absolute value appears first, and dropping duplicates keeps the first row for each category, which is now the minumum absolute value row.
Also possible with groupby, which is better if you need to return more than one row per group:
df.assign(to_sort = df.column1.abs()).sort_values('to_sort').groupby(df.Category).head(1)

Alternatively, you can slice with the result of a groupby. This is useful in cases where you want to return all rows that match the minimum:
df[df.groupby(df.Category, group_keys=False).apply(lambda x: x.column1 == x.column1.abs().min())]

  Category       Data1  column1
1        A  'SOMEDATA'        2
4        B  'SOMEDATA'        1

The Stone Arch Bridge Initiative for Education Resources (SABIER) welcomes the Feb. 22nd announcement by the Bush Foundation that it will devote most of the $7 million-plus it spends annually on education to the "School Design for Individualized Learning" initiative. The Bush Foundation awarded the MPCC, The Minnesota Partnership for Collaborative Curriculum, the Local Government Innovation School Category, Overall Winner in 2015. SABIER, is taking the work of the MPCC to the next level by ensuring that teachers have the necessary support to engage in large scale customized learning.
The Minnesota teachers of the MPCC are well on the their way to innovating a shift where students' learning styles, cultural backgrounds and career aspirations are all taken into account. Encouraging teachers to use the openly licensed and Minnesota standards aligned curriculum that has already been created and paid for by 206 Minnesota school districts allows them to make the crucial classroom and student level decisions about curriculum that are necessary. Teachers can revise and tweak the content for their students using their direct knowledge of the students' learning styles, cultural backgrounds and career aspirations.
When well-designed full course Open Education Resources (OER) are used with a learning management system along with the professional development and training for this type of learning, students no longer necessarily need to be physically present in a classroom to gain the learning experience necessary to apply real-life skills. Also, approaches like Project-based learning can be leveraged allowing students to not only learn new facts, but to apply them as they will someday be required to do in their careers. In addition to gaining social learning experiences with their classmates, the digital learning experience opens the world to the student, allowing them to converse and learn from people around the world. Imagine, in the middle of a cold winter in Minnesota a snow-day is turned into learning journey to another part of the world from the comfort and safety of their home.
All current generation Learning Management Systems allow districts to report the results on any kind of assessment as frequently as they want. More importantly, students can be given immediate and specific feedback about their responses by their teachers. Teachers can use this type of tool combined with their experience to quickly correct misconceptions and provide students a better understanding of concepts. This is already available; districts just need to decide to start doing it.
The Bush Foundation spending on education is about 3% of the approximately $240 million per year spent on textbooks in Minnesota. The state could realize a savings amounting to 3 times the Bush Foundation spending by merely not spending 10% of what is currently being spent on textbooks and instead use free openly licensed materials that are just as good or better than those textbooks. But even better, the award winning, high quality, free, digital, full course learning materials enable interactive engagement of students and allows teachers to then accommodate those different learning styles, cultural backgrounds and career aspirations.
Dan McGuire, SABIER Executive Director and former elementary teacher.

Johann Nikolaus Stupanus (born Johann Nikolaus Stuppa; 1542–1621) was an Italian-Swiss physician, known also as a translator. He was the father of Emmanuel Stupanus (1587–1664).

Life
He was originally from Pontresina, and joined the faculty of medicine at the University of Basel. He taught theoretical medicine there from 1589 to 1620 and developed a systematic medical semiology.

Work
Stupanus wrote an introduction to the second edition (1581) of The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli: it was a Latin translation by Silvestro Tegli and published at Basel by Pietro Perna, both Italian Protestants in exile and followers of Caelius Secundus Curio (whose panegyric oration Stupanus had given at Basel in 1570). Stupanus committed a provocation by dedicating the work to the Catholic bishop Jakob Christoph Blarer von Wartensee, and for a time was deprived of his teaching post. In 1588 a Latin translation of Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy by Stupanus himself was published.

The Battle of the Beauty Brands
The beauty industry can be traced back to 4,000 BC, characterised by the ancient Egyptians with their dramatic kohl-lined eyes. Little did Cleopatra know that her innovative use of natural minerals as eye, lip and cheek enhancers would become a global industry estimated to be worth $425 billion. The last few decades has seen this industry dominated by industry giants, such as L'Oréal and Max Factor. Just as Cleopatra - possibly the world's very first beauty influencer – influenced the women of her time and led the beauty revolution, today's influencers are once again taking over.
Let's bring ourselves back to the present day, where we're seeing beauty influencers make their mark in ways that only a few years ago would appear to be impossible. In June 2020, celebrity make-up brand, Charlotte Tilbury, sold a majority stake to Spanish company Puig, in a deal rumoured to be worth $1 billion. A London based make-up artist with a handful of famous clients, Tilbury launched her namesake brand in 2013, quickly becoming the It List's make up of choice. Indeed, shortly after becoming an insider beauty secret for editors and celebs alike, Tilbury's Pillow Talk lip liner sold somewhere in the world every two minutes; its popularity spreading to the girl on the street, faster than they could say "get me on the waiting list".
Then we have Kylie Jenner. A member of the worldwide phenomenon that is the Kardashian family, at the age of 22 Kylie sold 51% of her Kylie Jenner Cosmetics brand to US company Coty for $600 million, valuing the business at $1.2 billion. That was just five years after launch. And Pat McGrath Labs - the makeup line created by legendary make-up artist Pat McGrath - in 2015 was valued at $1 billion. It was the biggest selling beauty line in Selfridges during 2019.
These brands threw a beauty bomb at an industry dominated by huge global conglomerates. But what did they have in common? And how did they succeed so soon after launch? We take a look at the factors behind their success.
Transforming followers into customers
Despite many being household names before launching their beauty brands, even a decade ago the speed and growth of these companies wouldn't have been possible without Instagram. The launch of the major social media platforms gave Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath the opportunity to attract a serious community of new fans and followers, with 3.5 million and 3.2 million Instagram followers, respectively. By offering free makeup masterclasses and leveraging the ability to personally promote new products directly to their audiences, they skipped the decades-old marketing strategies deployed by the industry giants to rapidly build a cult following that quickly translated into repeat sales.
Embracing personality and passion
The most successful brands are the ones driven by a single-minded focus and passion. Pat Magrath summed it up succinctly: "The entire planet is just as cosmetics obsessed as I am…[as I brought my brand to life] my mantra has been obsession, inspiration and addiction". With an estimated 4.1 billion people using Instagram every month, showing your passion is essential when it comes to standing out among the constant stream of faces your audience scrolls through. Embracing passion and making it work for you through clever content is the secret to success. Charlotte Tilbury's trademark "Darlings!" helped capture attention repeatedly.
Combining disruptive D2C with retail
Retail isn't dead. Bad retail is dead. One of Charlotte Tilbury's major successes was the creation of her 10 colour-curated 'Looks', which sold whole packages for aspiring 'Bombshells' or 'Ingenues' at traditional high street retailers. Pat McGrath launched in the UK through Selfridges with her retail concept of 'A technical Odyssey'. This concept included her complete product line, limited edition collectibles and an all-encompassing experience that combined trend-led products with street hype, and a campaign that ran throughout the entire store. Retail theatre gives customers the one aspect that social platforms can't – the ability to experience the products in reality before making a purchasing decision. Retail will always have a role to play in giving influencers the additional edge when it comes to growing $100 million businesses; the trick is in how to harness the aspects of retail theatre that complements an online offering.
The use of cosmetics may date back more than 6,000 years, but this is only the beginning. As more influencers demonstrate their expertise and passion, trust and purchasing power will be transferred directly into the hands of the consumer: the currency of success is fast becoming an 'audience'.
And it's already happening: just as Cleopatra used her powers of influence (and carefully applied make up) to win over Marc Antony's fleet (and heart), we expect to see new waves of influencer-owned businesses win over consumers and investors alike and emerge from social media platforms with multi-million-pound valuations over the next decade.
While the rest of the world is now playing catchup to the knowledge and power of influencer owned brands, we at Genflow noticed and predicted several years ago how profitable these businesses could truly be. The brands we develop for our clients, not only stand up next to big industry names, but are secretly (or not so secretly) winning! With multiple beauty lines in production under our umbrella, we think you'll find the next $1 billion beauty brand sale will be developed by Genflow...

Who remembers those cold, uncomfortable, noisy, plastic furniture covers that grandma used to protect her couch and chairs? While they're not a bad idea to keep your furniture looking new, they aren't really useful for the way we live today.
We want our furniture, especially couches, to be comfortable, functional and always look great. But let's face it, couches take a lot of abuse. They are the perfect indoor trampoline for kids, they are nap central for people and pets alike, plus they tend to take the place of the dining room table more often than we'd like to admit. That means they need to be cleaned more than most other pieces of furniture.
1. Vacuum on the regular. Between crumbs and pet hair, there always seems to debris and dirt lurking beneath the couch cushions. Your first line of defense to clean a couch is to vacuum it often. Use the brush attachment and crevice tool to get into all the nooks and crannies. Vacuum both sides of the cushion and use a pet hair attachment or lint roller to quickly gather up pet hair.
2. Take vacuuming to the next level. Baking soda, the kitchen and cleaning wonder of all wonders, can work, well wonders on your couch. Sprinkle it on it top of cushions before you vacuum, let it sit for at least 20 minutes then vacuum up with a brush attachment. The baking soda helps remove both grime and odors.
3. Figure out your fabric. Today's upholstery is made from fabrics that require special laundering methods; some are dry clean and some can't be wet at all. Do yourself a favor and find your couch's tag and decipher the label code first.
WS: Use a mild detergent with a steam vacuum or a dry-cleaning detergent.
S: Use a dry cleaner detergent only.
X: Use a vacuum only. No water.
W: You can use water to clean it.
4. Tackle the stains. Usually to clean a couch equals removing a stain. There are several commercial stain removers on the market, just make sure they are appropriate for your fabric (see above). Otherwise, you can try your hand at some homemade options, just make sure to spot check first! For fabric upholstery, use a mixture of 1/4 cup vinegar, 3/4 cup water and 1 tbsp of dish soap in a spray bottle to mist the area and scrub with a soft cloth until the stain lifts. For synthetics, decrease the soap to a 1/2 tbsp. A mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup vinegar works great for leather.
5. The Whole Enchilada. Sometimes a spot treatment just won't cut it. If your couch's tag is marked W or WS, you can use a commercial or home steam cleaner to give it a good once over. Pick a nice day, change any microfiber cloths often and point a fan at the couch when done to help it dry completely.
Hiring The Maids professional cleaning services also goes a long way to keep your furniture clean. Our proprietary 22-step Healthy Touch Deep Cleaning System catches dirt and grime before it can make it to your couch. While we can't be there to stop spills from happening, we can help clean them up. Go online and schedule a free estimate today.

Bella Hadid's latest move is getting a lot of attention for all the right reasons. The 20-Year-old stepped in when a female photographer was allegedly pushed while trying to get a shot of Bella leaving the Michael Kors show in New York.
When Hadid noticed her bodyguard was getting to rough she immediately stepped in.
Can you please not touch her? Don't touch her!" Bella said to the guard. "Are you OK?" you can hear Hadid ask the female photographer before telling her bodyguard again, "Don't touch her."

Melanie Page
Creative Arts Therapist – Art Psychotherapist
Melanie joined the Imara team in August 2018 and is a registered art psychotherapist with HCPC and the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT). Her clinical art psychotherapy experience includes work with children in a post adoption support setting and with young adults diagnosed with learning disabilities.
Prior to her art psychotherapy qualification Melanie worked for eight years for an award winning charity, where she pioneered the provision of creative support to unaccompanied asylum seeker teenagers and young survivors of trafficking. She has also completed specialist training in counselling children who have experienced trauma, receiving a certificate in counselling skills with children using the arts, from the Institute of Arts in Therapy and Education.
Art Psychotherapy is a safe way for children and adults to explore feelings using art materials, images and metaphor. This therapy can support recovery and the strengthening and reforming of self following trauma.
Hannah Grace
Hannah Grace graduated as an HCPC registered Art Therapist in July 2018 and is a member of the British Association of Art Therapists.
Hannah has experience working with clients in a school setting, an NHS children's centre (CAHMS) and with a charity for homeless and vulnerable adults providing therapy for clients with a range of difficulties.
Hannah became an Art Therapist as she believes that creating a safe space free of fear or judgement can empower people, increase self-awareness and self-confidence and build self-esteem through the universal language of art. Hannah uses a largely non-directive approach which allows the young person to be in control of what they bring to the session. Building a relationship between herself, the client and the art enables the client to experience personal growth and a strong sense of self.
Creative Arts Therapist – Person-Centred Psychotherapist
Kim joined the Imara team in January 2020. She is a registered Person-Centred psychotherapist, specialising in working with children and young people (MA) also holding a Creative, Expressive Therapies BA (hons) degree. Kim has over 20 years of experience of working with diverse populations of children and young people and holds the importance of empowerment and equality central to her work.
Kim has previously worked within education and healthcare settings, using the creative arts as therapeutic support for children, young people and adults. More recently she provided a counselling service within a provision for students who have been excluded from mainstream education and are experiencing a variety of issues.
Person-Centred psychotherapy is based on the belief that humans have the capacity to develop themselves through facilitative, empathic communication and expression that form the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. This communication is invited in a variety of ways including the use of arts, movement and conversation. This process is client-led, allowing clients to explore aspects of themselves within a safe and supportive environment.
Stella Hurst
Sleep and Anxiety Practitioner
Stella joined Imara in February 2020. She is a qualified Advanced Rapid Transformational Therapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, Biology Teacher and qualified Children's Sleep Practitioner. She has over 12 years' experience of working with children in an educational, pastoral and, more recently, a therapeutic setting.
Early on in her teaching career Stella realised that students would often be drawn to seek her advice and guidance on a variety of issues, more often than not around sleep and anxiety. Having experienced sleeping issues and severe anxiety first-hand, Stella could provide pastoral support and empathise, but very little beyond. Consequently, this gave Stella the drive and motivation to gain further qualifications that would enable her to work with children suffering from these issues in a therapeutic setting. Stella now teaches her clients and their families the very same knowledge and tools that led to her own recovery many years ago. Furthermore, where appropriate, Stella uses Rapid Transformational Therapy as a powerful tool to help her clients to free themselves from the root cause of the anxiety and sleep issues that they currently experience

Law firm security gets positive verdict with UTM device
Deploying a UTM device, while not a panacea, can aid information security efforts from many angles, according to one law firm security officer.
by Ron Condon, U.K. Bureau Chief
Published: 02 Jul 2010 5:00
Like most law firms, Guildford-based TWM Solicitors LLP deals with a lot of confidential information, and as it comes to rely increasingly on its IT systems to operate efficiently, information security has assumed a high priority.
The firm has six offices across Surrey, and its fee-earners are often working remotely while still needing access to office services. For law firm security chief Alan Barrett, who joined as head of IT at the firm five years ago, the challenge has been to deliver flexible IT services while also ensuring information is handled properly and not exposed to the wrong people.

Are UTM devices in the enterprise enough? Read more.
Learn how to configure a UTM device in this screencast.
When he arrived, the company was running WatchGuard Technologies Inc. firewalls for network security, but the devices were limited in what they could do, and coming to the end of their natural life. "They were standard layer three and four firewalls, so they couldn't handle application security," Barrett said.
This gave him the chance to look anew at how information security was practiced at the firm, and to introduce new measures for application control and data leakage prevention.
He wanted to replace the WatchGuard devices with a product set that had a more complete set of functions yet wouldn't place an additional administrative burden on him and his small team; this led him to consider unified threat management (UTM) products.
He talked to a range of potential vendors, including Cisco Systems Inc. and Check Point Software Technologies LTD. "We got into conversations with suppliers at [the Infosecurity Europe conference], but a lot of the companies didn't understand what we were trying to achieve," Barrett said. In the end, he decided to go with the FortiGuard product line from Fortinet Inc.
Fortinet agreed to lend TWM a system for a pilot project to help Barrett make a business case to the senior partners of the firm. "I had communicated to the management the benefits of putting it in, but [they said] there was no budget for a UTM device at that stage," he said. Nevertheless, even without a commitment Fortinet allowed him to install the FortiGate-310B appliance, with modules for antivirus, intrusion prevention (IPS), data leakage protection (DLP), Web filtering and VPN (IPSec and SSL) to use as a demo.
The DLP functionality made a big impression on the decision makers. Barrett demonstrated how easy it would be, for example, for a member of staff to send out confidential information, whether by accident or design, and how the FortiGate device would flag and prevent any policy infringement. That capability swung the decision and the firm's management approved the purchase.
Web filtering and Web 2.0 security
Today, eight months after the UTM implementation, TWM applies quite granular rules to determine who can view which kinds of websites. At its most basic, the Web filtering functionality is used to promote productivity by preventing office staff from surfing the Web or visiting social networking sites. Barrett said the application control feature of the FortiGate appliance also allows the company to block access to various types of activity, such as instant messaging, P2P, proxy avoidance, website chat, streaming media and many others.
On the other hand, some solicitors need the freedom to view sites that would normally be considered off-limits "We run divorces that can sometimes be unpleasant, and the fee-earner has to look at some unpleasant websites," Barrett said. "With FortiGuard, we can do different categories of blocking for different users."
When the firm's solicitors are out of the office and need to access systems from any browser-based machine, they use the SSL VPN function. "Fortinet's integrated Java RDP client allows them to securely access the terminal servers without the need for complex client installation procedures," Barrett said. "It allows them to use our systems in almost the same capacity as if they were in the office."
For those members of the firm using BlackBerrys when out on the road, their browsing is also routed via the Fortigate appliance, partly in order to maintain policy and partly to keep down costs.
The UTM approach has delivered real benefits, Barrett said, namely combining robust information security features with management simplicity: "In the past we would have individual systems to do IPS, Web filtering and so on, but now it's all in the one box."
Barrett said there is a balance between control and performance when setting policies; Complex rules can consume a lot of processor power. "With Web filtering and DLP we have set up what you might call sensible alerts. If someone sends a 100Kb file via FTP, then it's probably all right," he said. "If someone sends a 100Mb file, then alarm bells should go off."
