Midterm Report
Concrete Concepts talks with ASCC president Mike Schneider.
Jonathan Sweet
Mike Schneider is a veteran of the concrete industry, having spent the last 27 years with Baker Concrete Construction, helping that company grow to be one of the largest concrete contractors in the country.
He currently serves as the company's vice president of operations, but he also holds the office of president of the American Society of Concrete Contractors. He took office in 2004 and with a year left on his term, he feels like the association has accomplished a lot, but that there's still a lot of work to do. Concrete Concepts talked to Schneider about his time in office and what he'd still like to accomplish.
What are you proud of from your first year in office?
We've got a new strategic plan that we put together just before I came into office. That's been important because it's given us a road map of where we want to go. The position statements that ASCC has issued are also now being used in the industry. I've talked to architects, engineers and college professors about them and people are starting to take notice.
I think that's really important because as the voice of the concrete contractor, we need to be out there helping them. It's allowed us as an industry to say, "Here is what we think," and given contractors something to defend themselves with.
We've also set up a strategic alliance with the American Concrete Institute with a goal of having more contractors on the committees. Historically, ACI has had a lot of theoreticians. The people writing the rules didn't have to do the work. We're trying to change that, because we all have to live with the standards that come out of ACI.
What are you hoping to accomplish in this coming year?
We had our first organized membership drive last year. That's a start, but we're always looking for new members. What we're trying to do right now is go out and get some of the people in the industry that are good contractors, that are leaders, but haven't been involved.
We're also getting ready to publish a guide to flatwork. What it really addresses is "What are realistic expectations for concrete?" Concrete's going to crack, but we need to set the expectations for cracks, for tolerances, for finishing. It's all part of our mission of supporting the concrete contractor.
You talked about getting more members. What can ASCC do to bring in more contractors?
If we can get people to the CEO Forum or to the annual conference, we've got a pretty good rate of people that become members. Getting them to that first event is always the challenge.
We rely a lot on our members to get the word out. Our manufacturer members often will bring in contractors they work with. We're also starting to get some brand recognition out there. We're reaching that critical mass where we are known in the industry and that brings people in, as well.
Why should contractors join ASCC? What can they expect to get out of it?
We offer a lot of member benefits, such as safety information, seminars and publications. I think the biggest benefit is that it can help you become a better businessperson. Most of us got into this industry without a lot of knowledge on how to run a business. You can be as good technically as you want to, but without business knowledge, you're not going to succeed.
Most of the people that are involved in ASCC do it because they have a passion to give back to the industry. We're always willing to share our experiences. What we're trying to do is raise the bar. We don't mind bidding against good competition, but it's hard to compete against ignorance.
What you get out of the organization truly depends on how much you put in. Contractors that get involved on committees and come to events are going to really benefit from being involved.
Why did you get involved with ASCC?
I've been with Baker for 27 years, and from the beginning Dan Baker was involved in local associations. As I grew with the company, Dan always preached getting involved and doing work with the associations. The industry has been very good to me personally, therefore I have a desire to give back to the industry.
What do you see as the challenges facing the industry?
The biggest is probably going to be the workforce. The Baby Boomers are aging. They've been very productive, and their retirements are going to leave quite a vacuum in the industry. Young people are not coming into construction, so how do we replace those workers? Obviously, we have a growing number of Latinos entering the industry, but that can present language and training issues.
What's the solution?
Well, what we're doing at Baker is we being very active in construction career fairs for high school students. We "adopt" schools and work with coaches and advisers to identify potential co-workers. We are very proactive with training and apprenticeship programs. We are looking for anything we can do to get young people involved.
We also focus on creating a good place to work. Baker is 35 years old, and we have a lot of second generation and we're just starting to get into third generations of families working for us. We must be doing something right to have that kind of loyalty.
Any other challenges?
Construction is a risky business, and there has to be an equitable distribution of the risk. We are seeing a lot of the liability being pushed down from the owner to the general contractor to the subcontractors. At some point there's going to have to be a balance of that risk.
The problem is that we are a very fragmented industry, so it's hard to stand up for ourselves. There are more than 30,000 concrete contractors out there. As big as Baker is, we have less than 2 percent of the market. That's why associations, and having that national voice, is so important.
What does the future hold for ASCC?
We just need to continue to add more benefits for our members and keep listening to what they need. When the day comes that our members don't feel they're getting anything out of membership, that's when we know we're not doing our job.

Luckily the weather was vastly improved on Saturday and Sunday, as hundreds of visitors flocked to the small village far out of the way of most tourists. Volunteers greeted visitors at the parking lot and helped to answer questions across the site. All weekend, interpretative programs were delivered on topics including Union General Philip Sheridan's 1865 Central Virginia campaign, the United States Colored Troops at Appomattox, and the surrender proceedings themselves. Reenactors, both Union and Confederate, camped within the park, carrying out firing demonstrations to represent the fighting within and around the village and recreating the stacking of Confederate arms.
Taken facing the physical center of the park as the sun began to set, this photo shows the luminaries' flickering candles as they begin to become visible, creating an astonishing scene. Photo courtesy of the author.
In addition to these programs, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park took their interpretation further introducing innovative new commemorative programs. During the 150th anniversary, 4,600 luminaries were placed in the village in memory of the number of slaves in Appomattox County who were emancipated as a result of the surrender. This was a fascinating take on the traditional use of luminaries to represent soldiers who lost their lives in service to the country. Other parks, such as Gettysburg or Fredericksburg, place luminaries at the National Cemeteries, while others, like Shiloh, place them on the battlefield. There's nothing bad about that use, as I am always moved by the beauty and weight that those luminaria carry. However, I still find the departure that Appomattox made from that norm interesting and powerful.
After the sun had set, the luminaries were nearly the only source of light in the park. Only the full moon, occasional camera flashes, and campfires lit the night. Proceeding into the distance past ridges and hills, the lights went on and on. Photo courtesy of the author.
The 152nd took that form of commemoration even further. The paper bags holding the luminaries had the names of over 3,800 of the slaves written on them. Taken from the In addition to this physical grouping by name, a list of the names was also read aloud at a podium several times throughout the day. Some of the men and women who read those names were descendants of the emancipated slaves . As the afternoon continued, the 4,600 bags were placed along the Richmond-Lynchburg Stage Road that runs through the park. Inside each was a battery-powered white tea light that flickered when turned on. As the sun set, the temperature plummeted, and the scene was absolutely stunning. The flickering lights along the road offered nearly the only light in the village, and the smoke and glow from the reenactors' campfires enhanced the scene. The lights illuminated the paths to buildings you could hardly see, and they continued off into the distance and over a ridge in a way that made it seem as if they went on forever. Immersed the beauty, it was simultaneously important to realize what each light meant. These lights that seemed to carry on without end signified how the number of enslaved people within Appomattox County also seemed to go on forever. It was an incredibly humbling experience both to guide visitors through the park on a momentous anniversary as well as to witness the beauty and weight of these powerful luminaries.
Thanks Bob! We all really appreciated all the work you put into the luminaries yourself, and I was happy to share the fruits of that labor with a wider audience.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- With their hopes fading and legal options exhausted, Terri Schiavo's family appeared quietly resigned Sunday to watching her die and asked protesters to spend Easter with their families as the severely brain-damaged woman went a ninth day without food or water.
Later, a priest said he gave Schiavo a drop of wine on her tongue. The Rev. Thaddeus Malanowski said he could not give her a fleck of bread because her tongue was dry. He also administered the last rites.
Schiavo's husband, who a day earlier denied a request from his wife's parents that she be given communion, granted permission to offer the sacrament.
"We are not going to solve the problem today by getting arrested," he told the crowd of about three dozen people. "We can change laws, but we are not going to change them today. ... You are not speaking for our family."
A spokesman for the Schindlers denied a report from David Gibbs III, their lead attorney, who told CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday that Schiavo has "passed where physically she would be able to recover."
George Felos, an attorney for Schiavo's husband, Michael, declined to comment on Schiavo's condition.
Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have maintained their daughter is not in a persistent vegetative state as court-appointed doctors have determined. Michael Schiavo has said his wife told him that she would not want to be kept alive artificially.
About 100 protesters gathered at the hospice Sunday, ignoring the Schindlers' request that they spend Easter Sunday with their families. Bob Schindler told reporters the protesters were welcome back today.
"People are getting emotional," said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Washington-based Christian Defense Coalition. "A woman is starving to death, but we want to focus on Terri, not on us." Mahoney said he planned to ask congressional leaders Monday to act to keep Schiavo alive.
Police have arrested 38 people in the past week, most for trying to bring Schiavo water.
Bush told CNN on Sunday that he has done all he can in the case, as he has said for several days.

Indonesia executions: Australia recalls ambassador, reports BBC
Australia has recalled its ambassador from Indonesia after two Australian men were executed for drug smuggling. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were among eight people from several countries executed by firing squad shortly after midnight on Wednesday on the prison island of Nusakambangan.
Brazil's government also expressed its "deep dismay" at the execution of one of its citizens, Rodrigo Gularte.
But the execution of a Philippine woman was called off at the last minute.
Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso was spared after her government appealed to Indonesia, saying a woman she had accused of planting drugs on her had handed herself in.
Andrew Chan (left) and Myuran Sukumaran were sentenced to death in 2006
Australia said Sukumaran and Chan were reformed characters – Sukumaran painted while in prison, creating this self portrait
Australia had mounted a lengthy diplomatic campaign to save Chan and Sukumaran, convicted in 2006 of being the ringleaders of a group of Australian heroin traffickers known as the Bali Nine.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Tuesday that the executions were "both cruel and unnecessary," saying Chan and Sukumaran had been "fully rehabilitated" while in prison.
"We respect Indonesia's sovereignty but we do deplore what's been done and this cannot be simply business as usual," he said.
"For that reason, once all the courtesies have been extended to the Chan and Sukumaran families our ambassador will be withdrawn for consultations."
Indonesia is an important country to Australia, the BBC's Jon Donnison says, with the two working closely together on asylum seekers and terrorism issues.
This is the first time Australia has recalled an ambassador from Indonesia, and its first ever recall over the execution of one of its citizens abroad.
Indonesian Attorney General Muhammad Prasetyo defended the executions, saying his country was fighting a "war" on drugs.
Analysis: Karishma Vaswani, BBC Indonesia editor
Joko Widodo, Indonesia's president, has publicly declared a war on drugs and said he will refuse all clemency applications from convicted drug traffickers – a stance that could prove legally problematic given that the very point of a presidential clemency is to evaluate each individual on a case-by-case basis.
But that will be little comfort to the families of the eight people who were executed.
Indonesia risks souring relations with other nations over its hardline approach, as it has already with Australia, home of two of the smugglers. But Indonesia's new president appears willing to take the risk, even if it means tarnishing his own reputation as a liberal, reform-minded leader.
Joko Widodo stands firm
Viewpoints: Are Australia-Indonesia ties at risk?
The families of the condemned prisoners paid them final, emotional visits on Monday afternoon before the sentences were carried out.
All eight refused offers of blindfolds, and were singing together in their final moments, a pastor present at the execution told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Hours after the executions, ambulances left the prison island, taking the prisoners' bodies to their chosen funeral sites in Indonesia or their home countries.
Brazil's government later issued a statement saying the execution of Gularte marked "a serious event in the relations between the two countries".
Coffins of the eight have been taken from the prison
Some of those executed have already been buried
Gularte's family had said he had schizophrenia and should not have been on death row.
The statement said Indonesia "had not been sensitive to President [Dilma] Rousseff's humanitarian plea".
Gularte was the second Brazilian to be executed for drug smuggling in Indonesia in four months. Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira was killed by firing squad at Nusakambangan in January, prompting Brazil to recall its ambassador.
But there was delight on Monday for the family of Philippine woman Veloso, after her execution was called off at the last minute following a request by the Philippine president.
Veloso's family celebrated the news of her reprieve in Cilacap, close to the prison
Her mother described the last minute reprieve as a "miracle".
"We are so happy, I can't believe it. I can't believe my child will live," Celia Veloso told Philippine radio station DZMM.
Sonny Coloma, a spokesman for the Philippine president, told the BBC he was "relieved and thankful" but stressed "the death sentence on her has not been lifted".
"What was done was a stay or a reprieve on her execution. That's why we're appealing that a new opportunity be given for her to give additional testimony that would clarify that she is a victim of a trafficking syndicate."
Hundreds of protesters had been keeping vigil outside the Indonesian embassy in the Philippines awaiting the news.
Who were the executed prisoners?
Australians Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan
Ghanaian Martin Anderson
Indonesian Zainal Abidin bin Mgs Mahmud Badarudin
Nigerians Raheem Agbaje Salami, Sylvester Obiekwe Nwolise, Okwudili Oyatanze
Brazilian Rodrigo Gularte
Frenchman Serge Areski Atlaoui and Filipina Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso were spared as they have ongoing appeals
Jon Donnison: Double standards over Bali Nine
A Frenchman also convicted of drug offences, Serge Areski Atlaoui, was originally due to be executed with the group but has an appeal outstanding.
The French government said it "reiterates its opposition to the death sentence, in all cases and all circumstances".
Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and ended a four-year moratorium on executions in 2013.
It says it takes a hard line because of the country's own drugs problem – 33 Indonesians die every day as a result of drugs, according to Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency.

-Screen in crisp and a pleasure to look at. Colors are true and text is amazingly clear.
-Camera takes amazing photos and works like it should, smooth and worry free.
-Calls are clear and loud, no echoes or static.
-Data is crazy fast, processor works great and device maintains nice signal.
-UI works and interface has nice intuitive features which make it the best Android UI on the market.
-Beats Audio is the real deal. The sound from these earbuds is nothing short of amazing.
This phone is a beast! There is so much things to learn, but its worth it. OMG! I just switched from HTC Vivid (in which I liked a lot) and man....a BIG improvement with the Galaxy S III!
Great sound and call quality, loud speakers. SUPER fast internet browser. Size of the screen. GREAT picture quality (takes beautiful pics). Video is excellent too. Bluetooth connection and just tapping another phone to transfer (NFC) is another great feature. I don't fine anything wrong with this phone except that I am finding more stuff that I did not know was phone that is so much fun and useful to have. Very user friendly.
Battery - I get 14 hours of somewhat heavy use. The HTC One series and the S3 line up are game changers.
Switched from a captivate about a week ago and was very pleased with that phone. The galaxy s3 blows it away! Standing out most to me is its pure speed -- both operating system and data. Also love the screen (its big and looks great) and camera. Call quality and speaker phone are excellent. The large size took some getting used to but now i dont want anything smaller!
The only cons I can think of are 1. Was hoping for better battery performance (but its not bad) 2. the default ring tones are pretty awful and 3. I've had problems setting up Google voice.
Near perfect, great job Samsung and Google.
Somewhat excellent phone, had Galaxy Skyrocket SII. Still getting use to phone . features & settings. Screens very similar. SIII somewhat faster. Prefer Skyrocket's less rounded corners & capacitive home button. After having capacative buttons for years now, seems to be a pain having to push a mechanical button for home screen. No overheating probs. Had to take batt out a couple of times to reset on freeze up. Seems to take more effort to slide unlock screen. N power saving mode, if u turn on reduced processor speed setting, slows down to much for me. Batt life isn't quite as good as Skyrocket, hard to get more than 10 hrs, with moderate use. Could get 12 hrs.+ with Skyrocket, with same use & settings. Reception & sound farily similar to Skyrocket SII.
Had for less than a week so far, only time will tell.
Had the phone for about a week and so far it is excellent. I'm coming from the BB Torch 9810. I have a hard time adjusting from the physical keyboard to the screen virtual keyboard. But, I am getting used to it fast. The voice dictation for email and texting is excellent. It transcribes as you dictate. At first I thought it was a little big, but again, I'm coming from a small device. I like the screen size and I have average hands so one hand texting is possible, without a bulky case. I have the body glove case from AT&T. Fits good and is thin.
Pros: Screen, apps, voice recognition, speed, multiple applications...ie you can watch video in the upper corner while writing an email or text.
Cons: in bright sunlight, you have to shad the screen a bit to see. Battery, but what can you really expect from so much power and the screen size.
nothing even comes close!!! the best on the market!!!
battery.i take it off the charger in the morning and put it back on the charger when done for the evening and i still have 35-38% left.. i use my phone a lot!!!
web browser/apps is smooth and practically flawless..
speaker volume is amazing, phone is very loud ..
the jelly bean os is amazing. ics is good too but trust me jelly bean is it.
build is good could use improvement..less plastic..
I decided to get the S3 last night while at Best Buy, even though I was looking at the S4, but didn't want to spend $200 (it was only $1 for the S3 on a 2 year contract). I've never had a contract, always stuck with prepaid (like Boost or MetroPCS), so that in itself was a step up. I love this phone so far! It does everything that I need it to do and more. It takes nice pictures for an 8MP camera and watching videos is a crisp and clear experience. Call quality is really good, I can hear the person perfectly, and they can hear me just as good. Even the speakerphone is loud and clear.
You actually get more user accessible internal storage than the S4, which kind of sealed the deal for me. Because we all know that not everything saves to the SD card.
Signal strength is so good in Southwestern Michigan. My boyfriend used to have T-Mobile and he couldn't even get service where he works, but now that's not a problem with AT&T.
Battery life isn't too bad. A friend told me to let the battery drain completely (to where it shuts off) and then charge it until 100% without using the phone. It will help the battery life for the future.
I had the Samsung Galaxy Rush through Boost, which was a great phone, but the S3 knocks it out of the water, of course. My bf had the very first Galaxy, which he hated and enjoyed throwing it at the wall when it would freeze up.
I am coming off of an S2 Skyrocket and while i really had no gripes with the rocket, i must say the S3 edges it out... but just barely in certain areas. it is the little things that make the difference. first and foremost let me say that the S3 is faster and smoother than the rocket. swiping between screens and switching between tasks is a breeze compared to the old 'rocket. The addition of the LED notification light is welcome. compared to the rocket's waking the screen whenever a text or notification is received. also warmly welcomed is the inclusion of a flashlight widget (where as with the rocket I'd have to download an app from play store). Battery life seems to be the same or slightly better than the rocket. the camera is a major improvement over the rocket. I've seen many complain about the size (even with large hands) yet i do not seem to have a problem. i am 6'4" with big dumb fingers and i can navigate the soft keyboard with nary a type-o. now to the downside. these are just personal gripes. when i upgraded my rocket to ICS 4.0.4 i was given a bunch of control widgets to put on my home screen that the S3 lacks (maybe they are there and i have yet to find them... beats me) for example, i had toggle widgets for voice control and driving mode. an "active applications counter" widget that would open the task manager when tapped. for that matter the S3 doesn't even HAVE a task manager icon you can put on a home screen! (i managed to find one in the play store though). however i shouldn't have to... most if not all other androids (with the exception of a few crappy boost mobile droids i have owned) included this icon. not sure if i am liking the hard home button. much preferred the capacitive one from the rocket. also gone are home screen toggles for wifi, gps, bluetooth etc (these were moved to the drop down notification bar i soon discovered). In short... a few minor concessions in the upgrade but a rock solid phone all around. deff recommend it to others.
My overall opinion: this phone is AMAZING. I'm not even going to update to the s4 because it doesn't have enough new features to make me spend the money! I've had this phone now for 6 months and I LOVE it.

Candice Fox: on writing
By Candice Fox on
Candice Fox is the author of Crimson Lake, an ingenious and edgy new suspense novel that will keep you guessing to the very last page. With the book receiving high praise from the likes of Harlan Coben, Lee Child and James Patterson, we wanted to find out more about Candice and her writing.
Why do you write crime fiction?
There was a lot of crime in my childhood, so my interest in crime began there, even if I wasn't writing it as a young'un. My mother fostered 150+ kids who generally came from abusive, neglectful and criminal backgrounds. My father worked at a prison and my mother was a true crime nut who told real-life crime stories to us as kids. I used to peruse true crime mags and books in her bedroom from an inappropriately young age, which has probably desensitised me.
Who or what inspires you?
When I started writing I was trying to emulate the stories I liked, so I wrote gangster stories because I was a huge Martin Scorsese fan. But I didn't have a good idea of structure, and found vampire stories (which are essentially just romances at times) easier when I was 16 or so and fell into Anne Rice and the like. A lot of those gothic influences linger, certainly most obviously in the Bennett/Archer series. I swung back toward Australian crime when I started reading Peter Temple in my early twenties.
Why is Crimson Lake set in Cairns?
Ted's life in Sydney was always going to be familiar to the readers, because the Australian metropolitan landscape has been entrenched in fiction already. I felt like I wanted the unfamiliar experience of running away as an adult to be similar to how it might be as a child. When I was a kid and I threatened to run away, I never imagined what the world I would go into would be like. There was my home, my school and my local streets, but 'away' was a mystery to me, somewhere I would have to learn about and adapt to. So Ted had to run somewhere totally out of his comfort zone and out of the reader's comfort zone as an Australian setting.
Another part of the choice of the tropical north as a setting for this book comes with my own fatigue at writing about cities, and how easy that has become for me. Writing about cities has always been my go-to; when I was a kid I was writing shoot 'em up gangster tales set in New York, and when I was a teen it was vampire novels set in Paris. Then there was the Bennett/Archer series set in my home city. It was a challenge to write about Cairns, because I couldn't look out my bedroom window and see and smell it, or wander out into it easily, so I was relying on twisted up, magnified versions of it from my memories, which suited the narrative well.
Intrigued? Read the first chapter from Crimson Lake by Candice Fox here.
Candice Fox
Candice is the middle child of a large, eccentric family from Sydney's western suburbs. The daughter of a parole officer and an enthusiastic foster-carer, Candice spent her childhood listening around corners to tales of violence, madness and evil as her father relayed his work stories to her mother and older brothers.
Candice won back-to-back Ned Kelly awards for her first two novels Hades and Eden. She is also the author of the critically acclaimed Fall and co-writer with James Patterson of the Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Never Never set in the Australian outback.

We left off our story last week with the reuniting of Shiva and Parvati. When they were re-united, Parvati had some requests of Shiva. Firstly she asked that Kama be brought back to life, forgetting all that happened, so that he could resume his purpose of igniting passion in people's lives.
Since Shiva was prone to long periods of introverted meditation Parvati asked Shiva to teach her the mysteries of yoga so that she may pass on the knowledge to others. Parvati had a desire to teach those who were dedicated to knowing and serving the truth and so she pleaded to Shiva to instruct her in in the teachings in yoga.
Shiva knew that Parvati had very quickly taken on the teachings with him when she sat with him in meditation only a short time before.
Taken from the first 2 verses of Lorin Roche's translation of the Radiance Sutras.
Today's Yoga with Melissa will focus on the magic of our breath and releasing the spine and the hips for the beautiful Lord of the Fishes twist, matsyendrasana.


Food and Beverage Industry Solutions - BISCO Enterprise, Inc.
Food & Beverage processing industries move a variety of products including grain, flour, sugar, dairy, cereal, spices, flavorings and many more. These products aren't explosive, but the dusts created in processing, moving, and packaging are very explosive.
These explosive dusts, also known as Combustible Dusts, pose serious risks to the plant and employees as they can spontaneously cause explosions and fires. Food product manufacturing, alone, constituted nearly 25% of all the combustible dust related incidents between 1980 and 2005 which, in total, killed 119 workers and injured more than 700. The bulk of incidents are caused when combustible dust builds up, since the dust's ignition temperature drops significantly when the dust deposits as a layer. For example, the grain, hop will ignite in a dust cloud at 860° F but it will ignite at 554°F in a 0.2" dust layer. Therefore, these dusts can be incredibly costly in multiple ways (physically, monetarily, etc).
To minimize these risks, implement quality air filtration products and systems. Below, is an outline of the solutions we recommend.

Remembering George Martin And The Other 'Fifth Beatles'
George Martin - the man who signed The Beatles to a recording contract in 1962 and produced the vast majority of their hits - died last night, March 7, at home. He was 90. Although he always worked behind the scenes, Martin's influence on the Fab Four's sound was immense. That's why Paul McCartney reacted to the news by saying, "If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George."
To celebrate his life and the others who have been considered honorary members of the group, we put together a list of people considered the "fifth Beatle."
1. Stuart Sutcliffe or Pete Best
Unlike the others mentioned in this list, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete best were actually members of The Beatles. Sutcliffe played bass and Best banged the drums back when the group was a five-piece gigging in Hamburg, Germany.
When the others returned to Liverpool, Sutcliffe stayed in Germany and worked on his painting. He tragically died of a brain hemorrhage on April 10, 1962. That same year, Pete Best was fired from the group and replaced with Ringo Starr because the group and George Martin found Best's chops underwhelming.
Check out the band recalling Best's exit and Ringo's entrance in this clip from The Beatles Anthology:
2. Andy White and Jimmy Nicol
The drummer saga would lead to two other "fifth Beatles." The first was Andy White, who joined the group very briefly in 1962 because no one told George Martin that Ringo had been brought in to replace Best. So when Martin booked time for the group to record their first single ("Love Me Do"), Martin hired White - a session drummer - to supply the backbeat. Starr showed up to the studio to play, but Martin turned him away. According to Martin, Ringo was sore about the incident for years:
But not as sore as Ringo would be in the summer of 1964, when he developed a severe case of tonsillitis right before the group began a world tour. While he recuperated from surgery in the hospital, Jimmy Nicol - a session drummer from London - was asked to sit in behind the skins.
He also sat in for interviews:
3. Brian Epstein
A number of behind-the-scenes members of the group's business, production and management personnel have been credited as the "fifth Beatle." But aside from George Martin, the one that stands out most is Brian Epstein, who discovered The Beatles when they played at The Cavern in the early 1960s. He seized on the opportunity to become their manager and brought the group to fame. In 1967, he died of an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.
Here's The Beatles reacting to news of their manager's death:
4. Eric Clapton and Billy Preston
On September 6, 1968, Eric Clapton went to Abbey Road studios to work on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Harrison felt that Lennon and McCartney weren't taking his song seriously, so he asked the legendary guitarist to help him realize what he imagined for the bluesy ballad. Clapton allegedly told Harrison he didn't want to intrude because no other rock star had ever played on a Beatles record, but Harrison - revealing just how divided the band had become - said, "So what? It's my song."
Here's Harrison playing the tune with Clapton during The Concert for Bangladesh (1971):
Less than six months later, Harrison invited Billy Preston - a keyboarding phenom - to play organ on tracks including "Get Back," "Let It Be" and "Don't Let Me Down." His cheerful influence helped hold the group together as their unity continued to deteriorate.
Preston also joined the group for the rooftop gig in January 1969, their final public performance as a band:
5. George Martin
Clapton and Preston helped hold the group together during their slow disintegration, but Martin arguably made them a band worth keeping together. Martin not only served as producer but also mentor: "George Martin made us what we were in the studio," John Lennon said in 1971. "He helped us develop a language to talk to other musicians."
He also introduced the group to recording tricks that would hone their psychedelic style in the middle 60s. And he played piano on the bittersweet "In My Life" (1965). Check out the group's video for the song, which includes clips of the band along with many people credited as the fifth Beatle:
h/t Rolling Stone, Billboard, BBC, Beatles Bible, Guitar World


Top: Elizabeth and James (also available in cream). Jeans: Citizens of Humanity, now under $100! Shoes: Nine West, unavailable, similar style. Handbag: Burberry, similar. Watch: Vintage Gucci, similar watch. Arm Party: Kenneth Jay Lane, similar options here and here.
I love the cut of this frayed edge top from Elizabeth and James. It's really flattering, comfortable and classic. I love a good detail and this frayed edge is the perfect amount of detail without taking away from the simplicity of this blouse. I think it works so well with my Nine West pumps, skinny jeans, and simple black bracelets. Sometimes less is more and I think this outfit shows that, or at least for me it does. On days when I go to Bikram in the morning before work I tend to dress much simpler than on days that I go straight from home to the office. This is an easy go to outfit for those days.

This Memorial Day, it is important that we take the time out of our busy schedules to reflect, honor, and remember the men and women who have died while serving our country. It is those men and women that have contributed to our freedom and safety as Americans. All too often we forget that freedom is not free. A huge price is paid with the lives of the brave men and women who have chosen to serve in our country's armed services. It is my hope that this Memorial Day you will look beyond the barbeques and department store sales to remember what this day is really set aside for. I ask you to honor their sacrifice by reviewing your commitment to our country.
Please remember too, the sacrifice of the wounded soldiers on this special day. I personally would also like to take this time to honor Corporal Colbey Yazzie, a resident of Kayenta, who volunteered to serve our nation and join the elite ranks of the United States Marine Corps. Corporal Yazzie was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and assigned to the Marine Corps Combat Engineers. He was gravely wounded while supporting combat operations when engaged in a dismounted Marine force patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan. Corporal Yazzie's service was not free; he paid a huge price. On March 26, in an effort to save lives, Yazzie detonated a push plate improvised explosive device while on combat patrol, and the resulting explosion severed his right leg above the knee. Corporal Yazzie, we honor your service. I believe that Yazzie's dedication and sacrifice was so important to our country that I chose to memorialize his story in the Congressional Record. To the others in all branches of the armed services, please know, I honor your service and sacrifice as well. You are not forgotten. You are appreciated more than you know and are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Nor can we forget the men and women who serve in a medical treatment capacity for our veterans as well, who often arrive home in need of intensive care. One such person is Dr. Cameron McKinley. I have introduced a bill that would name the Department of Veterans Affairs Vet Center in Prescott after him. Dr. McKinley served his nation in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve after World War II, treated soldiers overseas during the Vietnam War, and became the Chief Psychologist at the Prescott Veterans Affairs Hospital where he did groundbreaking work in treating post traumatic stress disorder and helping veterans reintegrate into their communities after the strife and the honor of war. His tireless efforts to help our troops and veterans have inspired so many people, including myself. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute than to honor his service by joining the multitude of Yavapai residents and veterans in renaming the Prescott vet center.
It is men and women like Corporal Yazzie, Dr. McKinley, and millions of others who have served, along with the hundreds of thousands who have fallen, that we honor and remember. It is these men and women that have given us the ability to continue to vote freely, debate freely, to worship freely, and the independence and freedom that so many others strive to attain. Their voice now must be your voice. I would encourage you to use your voice, share your opinions and concerns, and get involved. Engage your American spirit and let's reach out to those who have served and offer your hand to help and say thank you. Let them know our nation is great because of them, stronger because of them, and freer because of them. God bless you, God bless our service men and women, and God bless America!


This letter was submitted to U.S. president George W. Bush via the Swiss embassy in Tehran on May 8, 2006. It was originally written in Persian. This translation was provided by the Islamic Republic News Agency, the official news agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The original letter in Persian is available at the website of the Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The original translation is also available.
For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena – which are being constantly debated, especially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hope that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.
Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the great Messenger of God, feel obliged to respect human rights, present liberalism as a civilization model, announce one's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs, make "War on Terror" his slogan, and finally, work towards the establishment of a unified international community – a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern, but at the same time, have countries attacked. The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on the slight chance of the presence of a few criminals in a village, city, or convoy for example, the entire village, city or convoy set ablaze.
Or because of the possibility of the existence of WMDs in one country, it is occupied, around one hundred thousand people killed, its water sources, agriculture and industry destroyed, close to 180,000 foreign troops put on the ground, sanctity of private homes of citizens broken, and the country pushed back perhaps fifty years. At what price? Hundreds of billions of dollars spent from the treasury of one country and certain other countries and tens of thousands of young men and women – as occupation troops – put in harms way, taken away from family and loved ones, their hands stained with the blood of others, subjected to so much psychological pressure that everyday some commit suicide and those returning home suffer depression, become sickly and grapple with all sorts of ailments; while some are killed and their bodies handed to their families.
Of course Saddam was a murderous dictator. But the war was not waged to topple him, the announced goal of the war was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction. He was toppled along the way towards another goal; nevertheless the people of the region are happy about it. I point out that throughout the many years of the imposed war on Iran, Saddam was supported by the West.
I tell them to study the history of WWI and WWII. One of my students told me that during WWII, which more than tens of millions of people perished in, news about the war, was quickly disseminated by the warring parties. Each touted their victories and the most recent battlefront defeat of the other party. After the war they claimed that six million Jews had been killed. Six million people that were surely related to at least two million families.
Many thousands were killed in the process.
Hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, olive plantations, towns and villages were destroyed.
A regime has been established which does not show mercy even to kids, destroys houses while the occupants are still in them, announces beforehand its list and plans to assassinate Palestinian figures, and keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison. Such a phenomenon is unique – or at the very least extremely rare – in recent memory.
Another big question asked by the people is "why is this regime being supported?" Is support for this regime in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ (PBUH) or Moses (PBUH) or liberal values? Or are we to understand that allowing the original inhabitants of these lands – inside and outside Palestine – whether they are Christian, Moslem or Jew, to determine their fate, runs contrary to principles of democracy, human rights and the teachings of prophets? If not, why is there so much opposition to a referendum? The newly elected Palestinian administration recently took office. All independent observers have confirmed that this government represents the electorate. Unbelievingly, they have put the elected government under pressure and have advised it to recognize the Israeli regime, abandon the struggle and follow the programs of the previous government.
Mr. President, As you are well aware, I live amongst the people and am in constant contact with them – many people from around the Middle East manage to contact me as well. They do not have faith in these dubious policies either. There is evidence that the people of the region are becoming increasingly angry with such policies.
Don't Latin Americans have the right to ask why their elected governments are being opposed and coup leaders supported? Or, Why must they constantly be threatened and live in fear? The people of Africa are hardworking, creative and talented. They can play an important and valuable role in providing for the needs of humanity and contribute to its material and spiritual progress. Poverty and hardship in large parts of Africa are preventing this from happening. Don't they have the right to ask why their enormous wealth – including minerals – is being looted, despite the fact that they need it more than others? Again, do such actions correspond to the teachings of Christ and the tenets of human rights? The brave and faithful people of Iran too have many questions and grievances, including: the coup d'etat of 1953 and the subsequent toppling of the legal government of the day, opposition to the Islamic revolution, transformation of an Embassy into a headquarters supporting the activities of those opposing the Islamic Republic (many thousands of pages of documents corroborate this claim), support for Saddam in the war waged against Iran, the shooting down of the Iranian passenger plane, freezing the assets of the Iranian nation, increasing threats, anger and displeasure vis-à-vis the scientific and nuclear progress of the Iranian nation (just when all Iranians are jubilant and celebrating their country's progress), and many other grievances that I will not refer to in this letter.
All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems – and even hunts its opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services – or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren't those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial? All governments have a duty to provide security and peace of mind for their citizens. For some years now, the people of your country and neighbors of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind. After 9.11, instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors and the American people – who had been immensely traumatized by the attacks – some Western media only intensified the climate of fear and insecurity – some constantly talked about the possibility of new terror attacks and kept the people in fear. Is that service to the American people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic? American citizens lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could come at any moment and in any place. They felt insecure in the streets, in their place of work and at home. Who would be happy with this situation? Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity? Some believe that the hype paved the way – and was the justification – for an attack on Afghanistan. Again I need to refer to the role of media.
In media charters, correct dissemination of information and honest reporting of a story are established tenets. I express my deep regret about the disregard shown by certain Western media for these principles. The main pretext for an attack on Iraq was the existence of WMDs. This was repeated incessantly – for the public to finally believe – and the ground set for an attack on Iraq.
The question here is "what has the hundreds of billions of dollars, spent every year to pay for the Iraqi campaign, produced for the citizens?" As Your Excellency is aware, in some states of your country, people are living in poverty. Many thousands are homeless and unemployment is a huge problem. Of course these problems exist – to a larger or lesser extent – in other countries as well. With these conditions in mind, can the gargantuan expenses of the campaign – paid from the public treasury – be explained and be consistent with the aforementioned principles? What has been said, are some of the grievances of the people around the world, in our region and in your country. But my main contention – which I am hoping you will agree to some of it – is: Those in power have a specific time in office and do not rule indefinitely, but their names will be recorded in history and will be constantly judged in the immediate and distant futures.
Did we manage to bring peace, security and prosperity for the people or insecurity and unemployment? Did we intend to establish justice or just supported especial interest groups, and by forcing many people to live in poverty and hardship, made a few people rich and powerful – thus trading the approval of the people and the Almighty with theirs'? Did we defend the rights of the underprivileged or ignore them? Did we defend the rights of all people around the world or imposed wars on them, interfered illegally in their affairs, established hellish prisons and incarcerated some of them? Did we bring the world peace and security or raised the specter of intimidation and threats? Did we tell the truth to our nation and others around the world or presented an inverted version of it? Were we on the side of people or the occupiers and oppressors? Did our administrations set out to promote rational behavior, logic, ethics, peace, fulfilling obligations, justice, service to the people, prosperity, progress and respect for human dignity or the force of guns, intimidation, insecurity, disregard for the people, delaying the progress and excellence of other nations, and trample on people's rights? And finally, they will judge us on whether we remained true to our oath of office – to serve the people, which is our main task, and the traditions of the prophets – or not?
How much longer can the world tolerate this situation? Where will this trend lead the world? How long must the people of the world pay for the incorrect decisions of some rulers? How much longer will the specter of insecurity – raised from the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction – hunt the people of the world? How much longer will the blood of the innocent men, women and children be spilled on the streets, and people's houses destroyed over their heads? Are you pleased with the current condition of the world? Do you think present policies can continue? If billions of dollars spent on security, military campaigns and troop movement were instead spent on investment and assistance for poor countries, promotion of health, combating different diseases, education and improvement of mental and physical fitness, assistance to the victims of natural disasters, creation of employment opportunities and production, development projects and poverty alleviation, establishment of peace, mediation between disputing states, and extinguishing the flames of racial, ethnic and other conflicts, where would the world be today? Would not your government and people be justifiably proud? Would not your administration's political and economic standing have been stronger? And I am most sorry to say, would there have been an ever increasing global hatred of the American government?
It is not my intention to distress anyone.
If Prophet Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Joseph, or Jesus Christ (PBUH) were with us today, how would they have judged such behavior? Will we be given a role to play in the promised world, where justice will become universal and Jesus Christ (PBUH) will be present? Will they even accept us? My basic question is this: Is there no better way to interact with the rest of the world? Today there are hundreds of millions of Christians, hundreds of millions of Muslims and millions of people who follow the teachings of Moses (PBUH). All divine religions share and respect one word and that is "monotheism" or belief in a single God and no other in the world.
We believe that a return to the teachings of the divine prophets is the only road leading to salvation. I have been told that Your Excellency follows the teachings of Jesus (PBUH) and believes in the divine promise of the rule of the righteous on Earth.
We also believe that Jesus Christ (PBUH) was one of the great prophets of the Almighty. He has been repeatedly praised in the Koran. Jesus (PBUH) has been quoted in Koran as well: [19.36] And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path. Marium Service to and obedience of the Almighty is the credo of all divine messengers.
We again read in the Holy Book: "The Almighty God sent His prophets with miracles and clear signs to guide the people and show them divine signs and purify them from sins and pollutions. And He sent the Book and the balance so that the people display justice and avoid the rebellious".
All prophets, speak of peace and tranquility for man – based on monotheism, justice and respect for human dignity.
Do you not think that if all of us come to believe in and abide by these principles, that is, monotheism, worship of God, justice, respect for the dignity of man, belief in the Last Day, we can overcome the present problems of the world – that are the result of disobedience to the Almighty and the teachings of prophets – and improve our performance? Do you not think that belief in these principles promotes and guarantees peace, friendship and justice? Do you not think that the aforementioned written or unwritten principles are universally respected? Will you not accept this invitation? That is, a genuine return to the teachings of prophets, to monotheism and justice, to preserve human dignity and obedience to the Almighty and His prophets?
And Peace be upon those who follow the Hudah (Guidance of Islam).

In the past six years, the federal government has provided $366 million to New Jersey to promote clean energy and energy efficiency, according to a new report issued Friday by the White House.
Those investments through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act supported 9,219 renewable-energy and energy-efficiency projects in the state, generating enough energy to power 170,000 homes, the report said. In New Jersey, renewable-energy generation increased by almost 90 percent since 2008, the report added.
To many, however, the state is not moving swiftly enough to promote clean energy, a concern that is leading to a revival of a bill that died in the last legislative session. The measure would dramatically ramp up New Jersey's reliance on alternative energy such as solar and wind power.
The Senate Environment and Energy Committee plans to consider a bill (S-1707) to increase the amount of electricity generated by so-called Class I renewables, such as solar and wind, to 80 percent by 2050. The state's current target for these renewables is 20 percent by 2020.
An identical bill passed the Senate last session, but never got to a floor vote in the Assembly. Even if it had, it was unlikely to be signed by Gov. Chris Christie, whose administration expressed concerns about its potential impact on utility ratepayers, who have helped pay for much of the state's clean-energy program through a surcharge on their gas and electric bills.
In New Jersey, those federal investments were dwarfed by the roughly $5 billion utility customers are on the hook to pay to promote solar energy in the state, according to the Division of Rate Counsel. Hundreds of millions in ratepayer funds also have been used to fund energy-efficiency projects, which do cut utility bills.
Fifteen percent of the state's electricity comes from renewable energy, but only 4 percent is generated in New Jersey. Some clean-energy advocates argue that leads to dollars from residents and businesses going to pay for green jobs in other states.
Beyond creating a robust green economy, clean-energy advocates argue that the state needs to increase its dependence on renewable energy to achieve aggressive goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global climate change.
To reach the 80 percent renewable goal, the amount of electricity from these sources would have to increase to 30 percent by 2030 and then by another 10 percent every five years until it achieves the 80 percent target by 2050, according to the bill.
New Jersey has been very successful in promoting solar energy with more than 42,888 solar installations in the state, based on information from the Office of Clean Energy.
The state is failing to achieve targets, however, to promote offshore wind farms along the Jersey coast, projected to be a major source of clean power according to the state's Energy Master Plan. By 2020, the state hoped to have at least 1,000 megawatts of offshore wind capacity, a goal most concede the state is unlikely to achieve.

He Never Saw It Coming: Looking Back at a Baseball Legend
Tom Cole
Tony Conigliaro, known throughout baseball as Tony "C", was an instant fan favorite and a legend in Boston. Tony "C" held a major league baseball record for hitting more home runs than any other teenager in the history of major league baseball, the second youngest and second quickest to reach 100 home runs. Conigliaro was a young star with matinee looks, home run power and athleticism in the outfield. Putting people in the seats in Boston, maybe, just maybe, he would become the next Mickey Mantle.
A bad pitch
Then it happened, August 18, 1967, the California Angels were playing at Boston. It was the fourth inning of a scoreless game, two out, nobody on and Tony"C" was at the plate. Jack Hamilton was on the mound for the Angels, at 6'3" and two hundred pounds, a big man who threw hard. Tony C stood at the plate, waiting on Hamilton's pitch from Hamilton, a fast ball that got away from the big Angel's pitcher. It hit Tony "C" directly in the eye. It shattered his jaw and damaged his retina. Tony and most major leaguers at the time wore a protective helmet, but it did not have the ear flap used today for additional protection. Today many major league players wear helmets with an ear flap and a jaw protector.
A comeback not to be
Because of his terrible injuries, Tony was out of baseball for a year and a half. The Boston hero made a triumphant return to baseball, hitting 20 home runs, knocking in 82 runs and becoming the comeback player of the year in 1969. In 1970 Tony "C" continued to improve, hitting 36 home runs and knocking in 116 runs. But Tony Conigliaro's tremendous comeback was cut short. The eye that had been hit with the Hamilton fastball began to lose vision, robbing him of his incredible home run hitting ability.
Life can be unpredictable. There's a line in a Rosanne Cash song called The Seven Year Ache, "God, I hope he comes back soon." But it was not to be for Tony "C". Maybe he would have been the next great baseball player, but his comeback was never complete. Tony Conigliaro's story demonstrates that life can be uneven, unsteady and unpredictable.

Dark golden yellow. Honey, apricot jam and grilled pineapple on the nose. The initial tastes are very waxy, oily and full of apricot. This wine is super smooth with balanced acidity, botritized fruit and a delicious flavor profile. Heaps of apricot jam fill the profile with tertiary flavors of honeysuckle and bee pollen filling in on the mid palate. The finish shows great tannic structure with a very gentle acidity. I'm shocked about the tannins on this dessert wine, but they lurk- ever so gently. This is a solid wine that will last decades. Drink now till 2030. It can be found for $25 per half bottle and gets 95 points from me. 5 stars for sure and probably one of the finest dessert treats I have had in a long time. Salut….

Q: Python 2.7 BeautifulSoup4 is returning an empty set I am trying to grab the links from a google search with bs4 but my code is returning an empty set.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

website = "https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=science"

response=requests.get(website)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content)

link_info = soup.find_all("h3", {class": "r"})
print link_info

The
 is where the links for all the results are not just the link for the first result.
In response I get [] and this is for any other class I try to request including
.
Here is a prt sc of what I am after,

A: Try to use following code
url = 'http://www.google.com/search?'
params = {'q': 'science'}
response = requests.get(url, params=params).content
soup = BeautifulSoup(response)
link_info = soup.find_all("h3", {"class": "r"})
print link_info

A: You're looking for this:
# select container with needed elements and grab each element in a loop
for result in soup.select('.tF2Cxc'):

  # grabs each  tag from the container and then grabs an href attribute
  link = result.select_one('.yuRUbf a')['href']

Have a look at the SelectorGadget Chrome extension to grab CSS selectors by clicking on the desired element in your browser. CSS selectors reference.
Code from Andersson will throw an error because there's no such r CSS selector. It's changed.

Make sure you're using user-agent because default requests user-agent is python-requests thus Google blocks a request because it knows that it's a bot and not a "real" user visit and you'll receive a different HTML with some sort of an error. User-agent fakes user visit by adding this information into HTTP request headers.
I wrote a dedicated blog about how to reduce the chance of being blocked while web scraping search engines that cover multiple solutions.
Pass user-agent in request headers:
headers = {
    'User-agent':
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.19582"
}
requests.get('YOUR_URL', headers=headers)

Code and example in the online IDE:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, lxml

headers = {
    'User-agent':
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.19582"
}

params = {
  "q": "samurai cop what does katana mean",
  "gl": "us",
  "hl": "en"
}

html = requests.get("https://www.google.com/search", headers=headers, params=params)
soup = BeautifulSoup(html.text, 'lxml')

for result in soup.select('.tF2Cxc')[:5]:
  link = result.select_one('.yuRUbf a')['href']

  print(link, sep='\n')

Alternatively, you can achieve the same thing by using Google Organic Results API from SerpApi. It's a paid API with a free plan.
The difference in your case is that you don't have to deal with selecting correct selectors or figuring out why certain things don't work as expected and then maintain it over time. Instead, you only need to iterate over structured JSON and get the date you want fast.
Code to integrate:
import os
from serpapi import GoogleSearch

params = {
  "engine": "google",
  "q": "samurai cop what does katana mean",
  "hl": "en",
  "gl": "us",
  "api_key": os.getenv("API_KEY"),
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()

for result in results["organic_results"][:5]:
  print(result['link'])
