The Town Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019 on a citizen petition to restrict, by ordinance, the town's ability to sell or release rights to some shoreland properties.
The "Petition for Enactment of Ordinance to Limit Disposition of Shoreline Real Estate" calls for an amendment to the conservation ordinance that would prevent the town from selling, releasing or otherwise disposing of real estate that provides direct or indirect access to shoreland areas, and whose retention has been recommended by an authorized town committee, unless approved by five of the seven members of the Town Council, or by a public referendum.
"The ordinance enacts a safeguard against the Town Council releasing public rights to shoreline resources by a bare majority vote," says a letter submitted with the petition on Jan. 2 by Richard Bryant, attorney representing the Save Our Shoreline Access Coalition, a citizen group "organized to foster Cape Elizabeth's public access rights to shoreland resources," Bryant's letter says.
The petition included 914 signatures, 836 of which were verified by the town clerk. The ordinance enactment-by-petition provisions of the town charter requires signatures from 10 percent of registered voters, which on Jan. 2 numbered 8,232, Lane's certification says.
The charter requires the council to set a public hearing in 30 days, and to set a date for a townwide vote on the petition within 30 days after the hearing. If it chooses, the council may instead adopt the ordinance amendment outright.
Councilors voted to set the hearing at their meeting Jan. 14. The Jan. 23 hearing will be broadcast live on CETV.

LK () var en bemannad sovjetisk månlandare, utvecklad under 1960-talet. Man skulle använda N1-raketen för att skjuta upp den mot månen.

Tre obemannade test flygningar gjordes i omloppsbana runt jorden och då använde man Sojuz-raket för att skjuta upp dem.

Det finns fem kopior av farkosten att beskåda på olika platser i Ryssland.

Månen
Efter att raketsteget Block D placerat månlandaren och en modifierad Sojuz farkost i omloppsbana runt månen behövde en kosmonaut göra en rymdpromenad från Sojuz farkosten till månlandare. Varpå Sojuz farkosten och en kosmonaut lämnades i omloppsbana runt månen. Månlandaren använde sig sedan av Block D raketsteget för att lämna omloppsbanan och påbörja landningen på månen. Strax före landningen, skulle raketsteget vara förbrukat och landaren övergå till sitt eget Block E-raketsteg. Detta steg skulle även användas för att lyfta från månen och docka med den Sojuz farkost som lämnats i omloppsbana runt månen. Var efter kosmonauten fick göra en rymdpromenad från månlandaren tillbaka till Sojuz farkosten.

Q: Create pandas columns programmatically based on existing columns and values I'm trying to create new columns in a pandas df based on values from existing columns.   Does anyone know a good way of doing that?
Basically I need to get the value from one column and create new colum using the value from another existing column as a name
df['a'], df['b'], df['c'], df['d']  - - -  so if the value in df['a'] is D then I need to create a new column name from value df['a'] and insert  the values from df['d'] in each row that matches this criteria
not sure if I was clear enough but I would appreciate any help.
the total columns would be more than 30, so I would like to know a smart way of doing that   instead of manually typing df['new column'] = df.apply .......
DF with original columns
def view_conv(activity, activityId, total_conv, view_conv, click_conv):
if activityId == '10649748':
    return view_conv

def click_conv(activity, activityId, total_conv, view_conv, click_conv):
if activityId == '10649748':
    return click_conv

d['Insights Programmes - STEM Internships Application Start - View-through Conversions'] = d[['Activity','Activity ID', 'Total Conversions', 'View-through Conversions', 'Click-through Conversions']].apply(lambda x: view_conv(*x), axis=1)

d['Insights Programmes - STEM Internships Application Start - Click-through Conversions'] = d[['Activity','Activity ID', 'Total Conversions', 'View-through Conversions', 'Click-through Conversions']].apply(lambda x: click_conv(*x), axis=1)

Expected output
I'm sure this is not the best way of doing this, there will be a few different values in column activity so I need to know a smarter way of doing this

As part of your overall strategy to make money with the articles that you post on your websites, submit to blogs and article banks as well as on your sites, you will also need a variety of good affiliate links that will help to generate revenue. It is important that you know where to find affiliates and that you choose the best affiliates for you, your articles and your niche websites.
When you pick an affiliate program to associate with, it is important that you determine which companies will provide the best profit numbers based on the frequency that the product is likely to sell. In that way you will select not only the ones that offer good, profitable products, but also the ones that fit your strategy, and business goals.
There are several types of affiliates programs available and some will offer you more money from per sale than other. Before you get overexcited by dollar signs, remember that some products are bound to sell more than others. If you sell on product four times a year that gives you $ 100 per sale or sell a well known product 3 times a week at the rate of $ 10 per sale, then you better stay with the $ 10 per sale product as it will make much more money.
Often times large well known companies will offer a very small profit per sale because they are established and know that their product is likely to sell well. Small, less popular companies, on the other hand, need all of the promotion they can get. Also, because they are unknown, their products are likely to sell less frequently. Something I personally do when looking for affiliate of certain product is to look at their payment schedule as you want to know what the payment threshold is and if you can choose at what level of revenue you get paid.
The most important and basic rule when picking affiliates to promote on your site is to pick products that would be of interest to those who would likely visit your niche site. Otherwise you will be promoting a product to a group of people who do not even want nor need it. Although this may sound trivial, I have seen countless times webmasters going the other way. If your niche site targets parents of young children, then promote baby products. If you niche site targets gardeners, then promote gardening products. If you promote baby products to gardeners, you are almost guaranteed to not make a profit no matter how much money the company offers for a sale.
Lastly, there are two main ways to find an affiliate company for your niche website. You can sign up with a company that manages the accounts of hundreds of companies, big and small, and apply for the products within these accounts or you can do a web search for companies that would match well with your niche, visit their websites, and see if they advertise an affiliate program. Examples of the first scenario are companies such as Commission Junction, Linkshare and LinkConnector, to name a few. On the second scenario are good companies such as Amazon and eBay, for example. On this subject, no scenario is better than the other, but in the case of large affiliate companies, it provides useful tools such as profitability reports of the affiliate programs, something that allow you to better select the affiliate programs to associate with.
Careful selection of the affiliate programs you will be associated to and promoting in your articles and niche websites is one of the more important steps in your overall plan as it will be crucial in the profitability of your internet business and, as such, should not be taken lightly.

There have been many means of promoting websites but free affiliate software scores over many of these means with its sharp edged and modernised approach. By means of software that is able to create affiliate websites, companies can send in the advertisements of their products into these sites to be advertised, without having to have one more site.
An affiliate site is one which is used as a medium to put a word or two by written form or by pictures, so that there is promotion of a particular website. Affiliates are nowadays considered to be one of the important ways to promote a particular website, with all its products and services on offering. Websites are ready to pay a little amount to the affiliate websites, who are ready to promote the products on the clients behalf and by doing this, they are also earning a little in their way. Hence upcoming websites are ready to accept the affiliate programs.
But for a budding portal, it is always important to choose the top affiliate programs because they can improve their rankings in search pages, if they are in contact with well known sites and are promoting genuine products. Such aspects of affiliate business have always provided a lure for upcoming websites to institute the free affiliate software, so that they can be in an advantage with their own website as well as gain a lot by giving space to the well known products.
Although it is a way of advertising, there is a little more to it than simply putting up banners. Top affiliate programs require affiliate sites to promote their products by having the website dedicated to the particular products. In case a product is being sold through the site, then the website owners can dedicate the pages to the different aspects of the product along with requisite contents so that when buyers visit these pages, they are directed to the parent site for doing any transaction. This means that the affiliate websites are simply links to the original site, and for every reference that goes through these portals to the main site, these affiliates get some amount.
Although free affiliate software is usually provided by the parent site to these new websites involved in affiliate program, the major work is dependent on the affiliate sites. Catching up with the top affiliate programs can be done if these new sites are trying to market themselves and this is one of the most important steps in the initial part of the business. Only if the products are good enough and genuine for people, they can be promoted by the affiliate sites and this can go a very long way in bringing in income to the portals and also help in giving a steady position in the web page rankings.

There are virtually endless ways to create a money making website. Affiliate programs are undoubtedly one of those exciting ways that can turn your website into an ultimate money making machine. If you are running a high traffic site, you are certainly going to make some big money for you using these wonderful programs.
There is an affiliate program available on every niche and subject. Therefore, no matter what is the niche you are promoting through your site, you can easily find a suitable program to make your simple informative site into a money making website. There are different types of programs available online within a specific niche. You have to choose the one that offers you the best returns.
Some programs offer a percentage of sales as commission while there are other programs that offer a fixed rate on a per click basis.
The first type of programs usually offers some products or services. You get your commission only if your visitor performs a sale or sign up following the affiliate link on your money making website. If the visitor only clicks the link but does not sign up or makes a purchase, you will get no commission. This way, in order to get the best results in this regard, it is very important for you to advertise the products and services offered by your affiliate client.
The later version of affiliate programs is much easier, as they offer you a payment on every click on the affiliate link. It does not matter whether the visitor makes a purchase or signs up with your affiliate client or not.
If you compare the two basic versions of affiliate programs, you will find that commissions on sales earns you a much higher amount in comparison to the fixed rate per click.
Therefore, in order to choose the right program for your money making website, you will have to consider all the associated factors. For example, if you choose to go for the commission version, you will have to work hard to promote the products and services of your affiliate client. On the other hand, the rate per click method does not require you to work hard, as you will get a predetermined amount of money on every click on these links.
There are several ways to put affiliate links on your website. You can have them on plain text link or banner. No matter, which version of programs you choose to use on your money making website, you will be glad to know that it does not cost you anything to sign up for these programs.

Affiliate programs are what most marketers concentrate on who are in the business to make money online. For some of us, we may have hobby websites but even those websites cost us money to a certain extent. Although there are many different ways that you can make money with your website, offering a relevant affiliate program is probably one of the easiest along with being one of the most profitable. Where can you find these affiliate programs and how can you match them up with your particular website?
There are a lot of different places where you can find affiliate programs. Some of the most popular include ClickBank and Commission Junction. Each of these particular websites gives you access to thousands of different individual affiliates through their system.
ClickBank offers digital products and things such as e-books and downloadable software while Commission Junction gives you access to thousands of real-world businesses and their websites in categories such as travel, clothing, insurance and a whole multitude of other options. Between these two particular systems, it should be easy for you to pick out an affiliate that matches up very well with your particular audience.
Another popular type of affiliate advertising that you can put on your website is found through programs such as Max Bounty or a Azoogle Ads. These companies team up with very specific types of affiliates, ones that are typically looking for a lead of some sort. It is fairly easy to find an affiliate program through one of the systems that you can match up with your website as well. These programs tend to pay very well for the lead but you may have a difficult time finding a lead program within the system that lasts for a long period of time.
Many of these programs are there on a temporary basis so you have to strike while the iron's hot, make your money and check periodically to make sure that the affiliate is still active.
Matching a program with your particular audience is not a very difficult thing to do. At times, however, your audience may be relatively general and may not fit into a particular niche. In this case, check out one of the pay per lead affiliate programs as you may be able to match it loosely to your visitors. If you find one that converts well, you'll be surprised at how much money you can make with a simple affiliate program like this.
Affiliate programs are a means to increase your online business revenue. At the end of the day, you need an online business which is yours. Your business should concentrate on a niche which includes these related affiliate programs you can recommend to your prospects.
What many internet marketers forget is that instead of sending people directly to affiliate programs, they should send them to an opt-in page so that the emails are captured first. The selling of the affiliate programs occur in the autoresponder series. All this happens after you have captured the email addresses.
A good example of an optin form is at http://www.trafficbeast.com/newsletter Here you can see that the whole point of the web page is to capture the email addresses before emails are delivered to recommend affiliate programs that are of value.

Press Release on the Postponement of the Inquest into the Death of Dr Neil Aggett
This article was originally published by WENTZEL / FOUNDATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Access the article here
Press Release on the Postponement of the Aggett Inquest
The inquest into the death of Dr Neil Aggett was scheduled to resume on 1 June 2020 and run for three weeks. However, because of the COVID-19 restrictions the legal representatives for the Aggett family, with agreement from the other parties, sought a postponement from the Honourable Judge Makume, which was granted.
Given the decades of delay already endured by the Aggett family, the decision to seek a postponement of the resumption of the inquest was not lightly made. However, the legal representatives were of the considered view that resuming the inquest in the current circumstances would be prejudicial to the truth seeking objective of the inquest and not be in the interests of justice.
Most of the key witnesses who are due to give testimony are former Security Branch Police officers who are elderly and fall into the category of vulnerable persons. In addition, the prohibition on interprovincial and international travel will prevent witnesses from other provinces and family members living abroad from attending the hearing.
Serious consideration was given to holding the inquest over video conferencing, but it was concluded that technical difficulties would inevitably lead to disruptions and a probable further postponement. Many witnesses would not have the necessary equipment and probably lack the skills for video conferencing. Some may have poor internet connection or no connection at all.
While a new date for the resumption of the inquest has not yet been set down, it has been agreed between all the parties and Honourable Judge Makume that they will enter into discussions about the resumption of the inquest as soon as restrictions reach alert level 2 or 1, and/ or when the various obstacles can be overcome. Judge Makume has confirmed that that the resumption of the Aggett Inquest has been removed from the roll until such time that conditions improve to allow a normal court sitting.

'Ignite' by CARE International and Mastercard to impact millions of entrepreneurs across Pakistan
CARE International in Pakistan (CIP) and Mastercard launched 'Ignite' – the small business program – in support of Pakistan Government's National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS), in a simple but impressive ceremony recently, presided by Senator Dr. Sania Nishtar, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister.
The program, part of a global collaboration between CARE and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, in next 3 years is expected to impact 397,000 entrepreneurs, their employees, and family members with capacity and skills building, will help accelerate the growth of 45,000 entrepreneurs by unlocking access to credit, will mentor 3,000 entrepreneurs concentrating on digital skills and tools, and to reach an additional 2 million entrepreneurs through the outreach campaign by creating awareness and understanding on formal and digital financial services.
The program has been rolled out with several local partners including U-Bank – its financial service provider, White Rice – a behavioral design firm and Mera Maan – a social enterprise focused on capacity building and enterprise development.
Senator Dr. Sania Nishtar appreciated the efforts of CIP, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, and project partners on their synergistic efforts to focus on women economic empowerment and financial literacy. She reiterated the government's priority to lift people of out of poverty towards sustainable livelihoods especially for women. She also indicated the need to explore avenues for support and partnership from the government for such initiatives.
"Through the work of the Center for Inclusive Growth, Mastercard's social impact arm, we continue to help address barriers to enable entrepreneurs to grow and become more resilient. Ignite will provide growth-orientated small businesses with the tools they require to grow so that they can continue to strengthen the economy and catalyze job creation," said Natasha Jamal, Vice President, Middle East and Africa, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
As the COVID-19 pandemic accelerates the move toward a digital economy, women risk being left further behind without tailored support and digital tools. To ensure they can survive and thrive in the digital economy, 'Ignite' will ensure that at least 30% of entrepreneurs supported are females. By facilitating access to capital, digital tools and skills, the program will foster a supportive and empowering environment for women entrepreneurs.
The Country Director of CARE International in Pakistan (CIP), Mr. Adil Sheraz added: "Our primary focus has always been to promote women's economic empowerment through accessible financial resources and increased business skills, and CIP has implemented various projects to address challenges around equal access to and control of economic assets. Our empowerment projects in Pakistan aim to unleash the power of growth-oriented entrepreneurs and contribute to a resilient and inclusive economy. 'Ignite' is a transformational project enabling financial and technological access for entrepreneurs, especially women, and will positively impact millions of people."
Last year, Mastercard committed $250M to support small businesses around the world and made a global commitment to provide 25 million women entrepreneurs with digital solutions that can help them grow their businesses by 2025. CARE International believes in taking a market-based approach to service delivery that is sustainable and scalable, by working closely with local service providers. These partnerships open up much-needed access to financial and digital resources, whilst building entrepreneurs' business capacity and networks.

It is so delicate and beautiful and one of a kind, not the usual kind. Will work with dresses/maxi sleeveless --- also ordered the Khaki which is a beautiful light colored tan. Two perfect colors that can go with any color. The circular trim adds more beauty to this shrug. It is a 6 star and more rating. I am 34 D and XS/S it fits perfect.


To know a land, you must dream it. | Lynn Hesse, author of "Another Kind of Hero"
William Least Heat-Moon wrote "Blue Highways"and for Christmas I received another one of his books "PrairyErth" (a deep map) for a gift of unusual substance from my husband.
Transposing the details of a topographical map into a visional, a living landscape, is a hard task for me. My brain doesn't compute the beauty of any landscape I see into lines and symbols on a page to scale. Although I get "it's easier to comprehend where someplace else is than where you are." The ending of 2016 spurs a new beginning, but first I must remember. The metaphoric "quoins, ledgers, winds, creek meanders, gravestones, and stone-age circles" make me pause and think of my birth in Southeast plains of Kansas, during the flood of 1951. I have wondered why my parents traveled away from our hometown. My best guess is dad went to find work. Maybe, his cousin convinced my dad to leave Missouri with his pregnant wife, nine months pregnant with me, and drive his old Crosley to Chanute, Kansas.
There are many things I will never know for certain. I will never know why the cave myths and Osage American Indians appeared on paper in my manuscript "Boston Mountains" before my research. Why I named my protagonist, Carly Redmund, in "Well of Rage" and later through genealogy found my maternal line contained a long Irish history of Redmunds, Redmans, and Redmonds on both sides of the political spectrum? What is hidden in our DNA that makes us roam, discover, war, seek the divine, and tell stories?

Ah, to ponder what is hidden in our DNA. Lots, I'd say. Liked reading that you found Redmunds in your genealogy after you created Carly. I look forward to knowing more about Boston Mountains. Happy New Year, Lynn.

Q: Redirect Javascript (Jquery) function to homepage I need to redirect the following JS snippet, to http://localhost/homepage at the end of $('form').submit(); How can I do it ?

the html involved is here :

x

Add Tags

    <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/tagging" data-remote="true" method="post">
<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" /><input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="7x2CSQ5spL32f1rjCJd5MdwYO6uZ+IwVsLEQ9ZB/Xcc=" />

        <input id="tags_string" name="tags_string" type="text" value="zoz" />
        <input id="id" name="id" type="hidden" value="4f1c95e51d41c80ff20003f0" />

            <input class='hidden' name='commit' type='submit' value='Add Tag'>

    </form>

A: when you submit the form, it stops processing, it goes to the page where the form's 'action' directs (in your example, whatever page runs at /tagging) and that's it. If you want to do any redirection it'll have to do in the /tagging page after it does whatever it needs to do with the form fields

Conflicting views over playground lease
THE leasing of the playground at Inis Ealga to local residents for a nominal fee provoked lively debate at Tuesday's Shannon Electoral Area meeting.
Councillor Gerry Flynn voiced his reservations about the proposal, saying residents had expressed concerns to him, and that members were being asked to vote on "a pig in a poke".
He also claimed that Clare County Council is involved in a number of what he called "cosy arrangements".
A report from Kieran O'Donnell of Clare County Council indicated the current situation with the playground.
"In 2007, Clare County Council approved the Inis Ealga Residents' Association for a playground grant of €83,333. Their proposal was to locate the playground on a green area in the centre of the estate.
"One of the conditions of receiving grant assistance under the Clare County Council Community Playground Grant Scheme is that the title to the land that the playground is developed in must be in the name of the playground development committee and the title can be either freehold or leasehold.
"In order to facilitate the Inis Ealga Residents' Association, it is now proposed to lease to them the lands in question for a period of 15 years. The cost of the lease will be €1 per annum. The attached map shows the land in question and the area that is proposed to be transferred is .525 acres."
He stated that local residents were happy to take it over.
"This matter was discussed at the monthly meeting of Shannon Electoral Area in September 2009. Confirmation was sought by the members on the willingness of the Inis Ealga Residents' Association to sign the lease agreement and this confirmation has now been received."
Councillor Flynn said that the residents would have "an onerous task" if they took over the playground, with matters like insurance to be dealt with.
However, town manager Bernadette Kinsella stated that the residents were happy with the arrangement.
"Since the last meeting, estate management have met with the residents and they have indicated their willingness to take it over."
But Councillor Flynn said this should have been in writing, to take away any uncertainty.
"You can't expect us to vote for a pig in a poke," he commented.
During the debate, he also claimed that less and less information was being made available to councillors regarding decisions being made. He also accused the council of having signed "cosy arrangements" all around Clare, something Ms Kinsella objected to.
Councillor Patricia McCarthy said that people in Inis Ealga were anxious to take control of the playground so that they could stamp out anti-social behaviour there.
She said that at the moment, locals didn't have the capacity to stop people entering the playground or to take action against people misbehaving there.
Ms Kinsella said that the residents wouldn't be forced to sign the lease agreement and Councillor McCarthy said there was no danger of an agreement being foisted upon them. "If they don't sign, it doesn't happen," she said.
Councillor Tony Mulcahy said that if the local committee were willing to take over the playground, it should be accepted.
It was decided that subject to residents agreeing, the lease would be given to them.

Had 2 of these several years ago and have been looking for them ever since and a sensible price - found you by accident but extremely pleased with delivery - exactly as stated with email updates and the plants have arrived and I am incredibly impressed with the quality of them, well packaged and now potted on in a warm place. along with the Nemesia and stocks. Thank you to all the team there -I would definitely recommend to my friends.
I bought these plug plants from you last year. They weren't what I was hoping for, but I potted them up and eventually planted them out. How glad I am! They proved to be outstanding plants and flowered profusely, not succumbing to the cold weather until just after Christmas. Who could ask for more. I will DEFINITELY be re-ordering this year.

Saunders v. Vautier established the rule that beneficiaries of a trust can call upon the trustee to terminate the trust and distribute the trust property as they direct. The Commission's recommendation is to abolish this rule in Saskatchewan by amending The Variation of Trusts Act. The Commission believes that modification of a trust should occur only with court approval under the Act.
