If you are a teen that is going through the painful process of puberty and the acne that those hormonal changes bring, then there is a good chance that you have seen a dermatologist and started a regimen that will eventually improve your acne. The problem is that many of the topical creams can take a long time to actually kick in. You have to use the products reliably for any sort of results, but it can take forever for those results to actually show up so you might stop using the products. Here are some tips for staying motivated and patient while you are waiting for the dermatological treatments to kick in.
It's not going to do you any good to constantly be focusing on your skin flaws Instead, it is going to increase the chances that you pick at your skin and potentially cause permanent scarring. Instead, distract yourself from the acne on your face by focusing more on the outfits that you wear or activities that you enjoy doing. This will allow you to stay patient while you wait for the topical creams to start working and avoid damaging your skin further.
Talk to your dermatologist and find the absolute longest it will take for the acne medication to start working. This could be anywhere from six weeks to eight weeks. Once you have this information, set an alarm on your phone to go off every day for that number of days that you discussed with your dermatologist. This alarm will remind you to do the facial treatment. Alternatively, you could also put your creams near your other daily personal hygiene items, like deodorant and cologne in order to reduce the chances that you will forget.
Finally, take a few pictures on the first day that you decide to go through with the treatment. Try to take the picture when you first wake up. Apply the topical creams for the length of time that the dermatologist said it would take for them to start working. After that period of time, take another picture, again trying to have it be in the morning for consistency. Compare the two pictures to each other. You might not have made as much progress as you wanted but it will allow you to see what progress has been made and make it easier for you to continue to apply the topical medication.
For more information, talk to a company that specializes in dermatology, such as Center Of Dermatology PC/Herschel E Stoller MD.


(BINGHAMTON, N.Y.) — Mayor Richard C. David on Friday announced the City is partnering with Cornell University's Design Connect program to develop a reuse plan for the original entrance to the historic Ross Park, which today includes the Binghamton Zoo and the Discovery Center.
Ross Park opened in 1875 with a main entrance on Park Avenue, which was accessible by the City's railway car system. As automobiles became more common, the park relocated its main entrance in the early twentieth century to accommodate vehicular traffic. The original Park Avenue entrance was rendered largely obsolete and fell into disrepair.
Last April, the City submitted a proposal to Cornell University's Design Connect program for the development of a reuse plan for Ross Park's original entrance and path.
Design Connect is a multidisciplinary community design organization at Cornell University that partners municipalities and non-profits with students who provide design and planning services. The student-run organization charges $500 per project to cover travel expenses and material costs incurred by the students. Design Connect has worked on more than two dozen projects around Upstate New York since its inception in 2008, providing practical experience to students in the process.
A project team from Design Connect will work on developing the Ross Park plan throughout the fall semester, with assistance from the City and input from the public. Once complete, the City will seek funding opportunities to complete the recommendations.
The Design Connect team will make an initial site visit to the park Saturday to meet with representatives from the City's Department of Planning, Housing, and Community Development and the Binghamton Zoo.
Design Connect expects to hold a series of public meetings with residents and other stakeholders to gather input for the plan. The first resident meeting is tentatively planned for mid-October.


The retail price of PV modules currently ranges from $1-$4/W.This, of course, depends upon the quantity you buy, what company you buy it from, and who does the installation.
The prices seem to be coming down on a regular basis, much as computers did for years.
Good research and development have not only made them cheaper, it has also made them more efficient.
Solar hot water and wind, on the other hand, are mature technologies.
Selling and installing solar hot water seems to be very profitable to the DFW companies which do it, maybe out of proportion to the costs they pay for materials and labor. Shop and compare carefully for solar hot water.
Wind is not really practical in North Central Texas, although it is more practical installed in the country than installed following city codes in DFW urban areas.
Walk out the door on a March day and you will find this hard to believe but….. Our problem is that we do not have consistent wind with enough velocity to make wind power practical.

Q: Pygame video system not initialized error after quiting window So I have been working on a python project for about 2 months now, but still can't find the solution to this error.
I am getting the error after closing the pygame window. Idk why but when I am closing first two defs (windows) I am not getting a single error but when the third window is being closed immediately I am gettin video system not initialized error
I have tried many ways for example with Boolean loops`
run = True

while run:

        for event in pygame.event.get():

            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                run = False

        pygame.display.update()

        some code ...

        pygame.display.flip()
        clock.tick(60)

but still, nothing working
You can get an error after closing choose() def
Finally, here is the code hope you will help me
Thanks in advance

Q: объясните по действиям выражение, пожалуйста. F# объясните по действиям выражение, пожалуйста. F#
let rec fact n = iff ((=) n 1) 1 ((*) n (fact ((-) n 1)));;

A: Ключевое слово let определяет имя для чего-нибудь. Чаще всего оно определяет имя для значений:
let x = 5      // числу 5 даём имя "x"
let y = "abc"  // строке "abc" даём имя "y"

На русский язык let переводится примерно как "пусть" (в математическом смысле):
пусть х = 5
пусть y = "abc"

Отдельный случай - определение имени не для значения, а для функции. В этом случае сразу за словом let указывается имя функции, а за ним - параметры, разделённые пробелами:
let f x = x + 5

Эта строка определяет функцию f, у которой есть один параметр x, и значение функции вычисляется путём прибавления пяти к значению параметра.
Ключевое слово rec в таком определении означает, что функция рекурсивная - то есть при высичлении её значения используется она же сама. Например:
let rec f x = if x = 1 then 1 else x*(f (x-1))

Эта функция имеет значение 1 когда параметр x=1, а в прочих случаях её значение вычисляется путём вызова самой этой функции с аргументом на единицу меньше.
В теле вашей функции используется другая функция iff. Эта функция отсутствует в стандартной билиотеке F#, так что я могу лишь предположить, что она определена где-то выше по коду.
У этой функции три параметра:

*

*(=) n 1

*1

*(*) n (fact ((-) n 1))
Второй параметр - это просто константа "1", ничего интересного. А вот первый и третий параметры - это выражения, в которых функции-опреаторы вызываются в префиксной записи (а не в инфиксной, как обычно положено операторам). В F# это допустимо и часто используется. Например, (=) n 1 - то же самое, что n = 1. Оператор = здесь используется в префиксной записи, для чего он должен быть заключён в скобки. Аналогично:

*

*(-) n 1 - то же, что n - 1

*(*) x y - то же, что x * y
Таким образом, сложная запись (*) n (fact ((-) n 1)) - то же, что n * fact (n-1).
Таким образом, вся ваша функция может быть переписана таким образом:
let rec fact n = iff (n=1) 1 (n * fact (n-1))

Обратите внимание, что эта запись с iff не является эквивалентом аналогичной записи с if .. then. Дело в порядке вычисления аргументов функций. В F# используется аппликативный порядок вычисления аргументов - то есть значения всех аргументов вычисляются перед вызовом функции. В данном случае это означает, что оба значения n=1 и n * fact(n-1) будут вычислены перед вызовом функции iff, а это означает, что вызов fact(n-1) будет выполнен в любом случае, независимо от того, истинно выражение n=1 или нет. Это приведёт к бесконечной рекурсии, и в итоге - к переполнению стека.
По форме выражения я предполагаю, что его автор ставил своей целью имитировать Lisp - отсюда и префиксная запись операторов. Вот примерно так эта функция будет выглядеть в Lisp:
(defun f (n)
   (if (= n 1)
       1
       (* (f (- n 1)))))

Но есть важное отличие: форма if в Лиспе, так же как и конструкция if .. then в F#, не является обычной функцией, а является так называемой "специальной формой". При обработке специальных форм компилятор поступает специальным образом - в частности, при обработке формы if компилятор не будет вычислять все три аргумента, а вместо этого вычислит сперва первый, а потом либо второй, либо третий (но не оба одновременно). Этого не случится в вашем примере, поскольку iff - просто обычная функция, что приведёт к переполнению стека.

A: По-человечески это будет выглядеть вот так:
   let rec fact n =
      if n=1 then 1
      else n*fact(n-1)

И если допишем fact 5, то он посчитает факториал 5.
дошло до меня)

Suzie Larke uses magical realism in her photography to create images that challenge our notion of reality.
Self-portrait, Photo by Suzie Larke
Unseen uses conceptual photography to depict the experiences of struggle by a group of participants. Suzie Larke uses constructed imagery, digitally stitching photographs together so that they present as a single, untampered image. Using this "magical realism" to transform pictures that take every day and skew it, she creates images that interpret the subjective experience of mental health struggles. This project aims to help people express their experiences through conceptual photography. It aims to increase awareness and conversation about mental health and unite us in the knowledge that everyone goes through – and can overcome – struggle.
About Suzie Larke
Suzie Larke is a visual artist and photographer based in Cardiff, Wales. Graduating with a degree in photography in 2002, she's since worked internationally as a commercial and portrait photographer. Her fine art photography explores identity, emotion and mental health themes. Larke is interested in representing an internal state rather than capturing a moment in time. She creates images that challenge our notion of reality by combining photographs to create an image that defies logic.
Larke has exhibited in galleries and museums like the Southbank Centre and Hayward Gallery, and she has also been featured in articles for The Guardian and Forbes.
This exhibit is located outdoors at the Harbourfront Centre Parking Pavilion and indoors in the south corridor of the main building. Both areas are wheelchair accessible.
Audio Description, including the artist bio, artist statement and image description, will be available on-site via QR code. Volunteers will be available to assist with QR code access during building hours. A smartphone and headphones are required for QR code scanning. A limited number of devices will be available for guests to borrow if needed.
A braille book will be available with information about the exhibit. Braille books and borrowed equipment for Audio Description access can be picked up at the Information Desk in the Main Building lobby during gallery hours.
Meet the Artist on Saturday, April 23 from 1-3pm. An ASL interpreter will be available during this time.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - North Carolina and several southern states hit hard by a wintry storm were bracing early Tuesday for plunging temperatures that could refreeze melting snow and make roads more treacherous.
Scores of schools in Virginia and North Carolina were remaining closed for a second day. Georgia also announced a late start for state government workers because of fears about ice on roads.
The storm that blew in over the weekend was blamed for at least three deaths in North Carolina, along with numerous car crashes, power outages and canceled flights.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Monday that the worst of the storm had passed, but residents - particularly motorists - should keep watch for dangerous conditions.
Melting snow and ice could result in slick road conditions Tuesday morning as temperatures fall and moisture refreezes.

Potential Production of Biogas from Prinkly Pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) in Sicilian Uncultivated Areas
Comparetti A., Febo P., Greco C., Mammano M., Orlando S., 2017, Potential Production of Biogas from Prinkly Pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) in Sicilian Uncultivated Areas , Chemical Engineering Transactions, 58, 559-564.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential production of biogas and, indirectly, biomethane or electric and thermal energy, from prinkly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.), to be grown in a part of Sicilian uncultivated areas and co-digested together with the available livestock manure and slurry.
In order to increase the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and reduce the dependency from fossil ones, the conversion of biomass into biogas through Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process is paramount for producing biomethane, to be used as fuel for means of transport and agricultural machines or heating, or electric and thermal energy through Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants. Moreover, the digestate produced through AD process can be applied to soils as organic fertiliser in the place of chemical ones.
Prinkly pear was supposed to be grown, by mechanising the harvest of cladods (modified stems), in a part of the Sicilian Used Agricultural Area that is currently uncultivated (totally 600,000 ha ca.), identified by means of a GIS software. Thus it was possible to compute the potential production of biogas and, indirectly, biomethane or electric and thermal energy.
The results show that the Sicilian potential production of biogas is 612,115 103 m3, from which 342,784 103 m3 of biomethane could be extracted or 67,038 MWh of electric energy and 70,390 MWh MWh of thermal energy could be generated. Moreover the obtained digestate would be used as biofertiliser, within both conventional and organic farming.
This work demonstrates that the production of RES, such as biogas from prinkly pear, represents a very profitable way of using the uncultivated areas: the income of the farmer would include not only that deriving from the sale of biomethane or electric and thermal energy but also the saving for replacing chemical fertilisers with digestate and the subsidy for producing biomethane as fuel for means of transport or electric and thermal energy from biogas.

David Lorenzo Spanish Lawyer UK / June 5, 2014
Santander Bank announced that has definitely completed the sale of Building Spain, located in Madrid, to the Renville Invest Society , a subsidiary of the Chinese company Dalian Wanda Group, for a total amount of 265 million euros. Santander bought the house in 2005 for 389 million euros.
Although the exact sales figure is not revealed, the president of the Community of Madrid, Ignacio Gonzalez, confirmed in March the purchase by a Chinese businessman Wang Jianli of the Property, one of the most distinctive skyscraper in the profile of the capital, located in the Spain Square, and that takes years not used. The idea was to start shortly a remodeling plan, designed by architects Norman Foster and Carlos Lamela, lift passes for a huge shopping mall, a hotel and nearly 300 luxury homes. The entire project was waitint to reduce the Protection of the building so it can be demolished inside, but must keep the facade and sides.
"The impact of the transaction on the capital and the income of the Santander Group is immaterial" the company told the National Securities Market Commission in a brief statement.
The building, along with Madrid Tower located nearby, were designed and made in the 1950s by the Otamendi brothers who wanted to give the city its first skyscrapers. The 25 floors and 117 Square meters high skyscraper "Spain" time ago housed the Hotel Crowne Plaza, a shopping center, apartments, houses and offices until 2006. A year later began rehabilitation with the aim of harbor a large hotel and luxury housing in 2010. Yet full emptying once completed, the project was paralyzed

Western Washington wolf sticks around, but no mate seen
From the Capital Press:
Western Washington's only known wild gray wolf has remained in Eastern Skagit County this summer, but wildlife managers still haven't learned whether he's a lone wolf or has a companion, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman said Tuesday.
"We don't think we can make that call until somebody sees another wolf or we get something on film," the spokeswoman, Ann Froschauer. said. "Right now, it's just doing its thing."

The World Must Stand With Tibet – OpEd
Tibet President Lobsang Sangay in Vienna, Austria, in 2012. CC BY-SA 3.
By IDN
By Lobsang Sangay*
Tibet, famously called the roof of the world, a state in the Himalayas neighbored by India and China has for long been in a state of the tussle with Beijing. China lays the claim over the entire Tibet and calls it its own territory; however, Tibet has always strived for an independent existence. This is among the many conflicts currently brewing in South Asia, probably the worse as far as the power imbalance is concerned.
The water tower of Asia has for long witnessed the cold and dark nights under the communist regime of China. The process of democratization is merely a ghost only if that ghost exists. This makes it imperative for the powers across the globe to play their role in fostering a dialogue between Beijing and Tibet, and only recently we have seen some improvement on that front and some progress will hopefully be on its way.
Tibetan people have struggled under the mighty and brutal fist of Beijing and since the independence of China, we have been demanding our separate homeland. The division of Tibet into smaller units and segregating them from mainland Tibet is a typical example of engineering.
Tibet as known today is only a fraction of the historical mainland of Tibet. The Chinese have created a façade by giving the autonomous region of Tibet, which is what is left of Tibet after its repeated geographical divisions, an autonomy nonexistent in practice. People in Tibet demand the unification of all the parts, which were historically part of Tibet, and post that want complete political, economic and religious freedom.
People in Tibet have tried to resist the imperialistic control of communist China in Tibet and have always raised their demand for independent Tibet. The inspiration to the people of Tibet comes mainly from outer Mongolia and Bhutan, both countries are doing quite well in managing their affairs and their foreign policy. The other countries in the region enjoy the power over their own destiny while in the case of Tibet, the destiny of people is being meddled with and is mostly in the hands of Han Chinese, who have never been sympathetic to the people of Tibet.
The gross human violation in Tibet is not a new story and is not hidden from anyone despite the media ban and propagandistic approach adopted by the Chinese government to have control of one's destiny is the luxury Tibetans don't have. Young People are abducted from the tribal regions of Tibet and are inducted into PLA (People's Liberation Army), who are then sent to various regions of mainland China wherein they go through the process of political re-engineering; approximately half a million people have already been inducted in PLA from Tibet tribal regions and they are being engineered to serve the agenda of communist China.
One of the major internationally recognized research organization has stated the conditions being equally worse as that in Syria. The excruciating pain shivers the spine when one sees that people are not even allowed to decide on the number of children they can have. The free and fair process of governance in Tibet is just a mirage and the reality, just the opposite.
The dilapidated condition of Tibetans is mostly being ignored and not reported, however, the reports which come out as Tibetans flee from Tibet in search of a peaceful asylum are very disturbing. The missing list of people from Lhasa and adjoining areas is growing and no political rival is left unmonitored. The accounts of the torture being administered to politically active workers in Tibet has seen no parallel.
The fear of losing identity is among the worst fears any community can encounter. The cultural identity and the religious identity of the people of Tibet is among the worst hit. Tibet and China are culturally diverse and have very little to nothing in common. The Chinese however are trying to impose their culture in Tibet, which would subsequently mean the lost Tibetan culture.
The freedom of religious expression is even more hit. The interference in the elections for Dalai Lama by China is not only protested against but the proxy Dalai Lama, which has been put in place in Tibet, is not even revered by the people of Tibet. Tibetans have a strong notion of being separated from their religion and fears of Chinese Buddhism taking over Tibetan Buddhism under the protection of communist China. This is one of the grave situations as far as the freedom to profess and practise religion is concerned.
The world needs to come together to solve this issue of gross human rights violation among other conflicts. USA, UK and India have been actively involved in resolving the long-pending issue of Tibetans. The USA and allied parties have actively participated in resolving the issues around the globe and the same needs to be done in the case of Tibet.
The democratic powers across the globe should come forth to rescue Tibet from this situation. The bills must be passed in their respective parliaments to put pressure on the Chinese govt. to secure rights for Tibetan people. Tibetans are peace and progress loving people, however, that has to come along with meaningful freedom.
The Tibetan Support and Policy Act of 2020 passed by the US Congress this year is a landmark victory for the People of Tibet and their struggle. This bill acknowledges the struggle of the people of Tibet against the brutal and oppressive Chinese occupation and is in solidarity with six million Tibetans who are suffering inside Tibet.
Washington has always fought the non-democratic forces and stands firm hand in hand with the Tibetan brothers and sisters and their freedom struggle. Washington DC has always supported the justice of the Tibetan people and will continue to pursue and support the cause. This is also the recognition of the legacy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his earnest efforts towards justice for Tibetan brothers. This will be a major boost to the Tibetan freedom struggle and is thus of historic importance.
It is not an easy task to fight evil and rise up against the fascist and dictatorial regimes. The manifestation of fascism as a democratic country won't be tolerated and has to be fought against. We Tibetans are fighting for our rightful cause and in this regard, we have knocked at the doors of conscience of every major global player. Getting the laws enacted is a gigantic task that too when it is against one of the most brutal powers of the world.
We took to lobbying for enacting the bill as a law for recognizing the govt in exile for Tibet and giving Tibetans the right for their own representation in the world; all the Tibetan associations in America including the Tibetan Youth Congress, SFT and so on are involved in getting the justice for Tibet. Tibet has to be on the agenda of every Senate Foreign Relations Committee's business meeting for the world to know the importance of this grave matter.
We the Tibetan diaspora want to be the representatives of Tibet which have been largely ignored on the world stage until recently. We have been trying hard to get the bill passed despite knowing the fate of the Hing Kong and Xinxiang bills. We got the major breakthrough when the Tibet bill was taken out of all other major bills. This would mean a lot of focus on the agenda of Tibet.
The Xinxiang bill didn't get out from the Senate Foreign relation committee. We managed to get the bill out of the staff members and the senators agreed to attach it to the Appropriation Bill. That is how it got passed. Thanks to his Holiness the Dalai Lama and all the monasteries who prayed for the Tibet cause. It wouldn't be fair if we overlook the struggle and the hardship His Holiness the Dalai Lama went through.
Policy Bill of 2020
The Tibet Policy Act Bill 2002 and Tibet Support and Policy Bill of 2020 are actually one. The latter one is actually the improvement, amendment, and addition to the previous bill. The 2002 bill addresses the situation inside Tibet as occupied Tibet, gross human rights violations, and the appointment of a special coordinator to help in pursuing dialogue between the envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Chinese representatives.
The bill also calls for the opening of a US office in Lhasa that will help in providing funds, scholarships and other things, this will help the Tibetans to develop an understanding and get a formal education in developing fields of science which would further strengthen the existence and survival of independent Tibet.
In addition, the Tibet Support and Policy Bill of 2020 strongly call for the religious freedom of the Tibetan people i.e. securing the religious freedom for the people of Tibet. The Chinese government should not interfere in the reincarnation process, if they, sanctions will be imposed on them.
On the environmental matters, Tibet being a "water tower of Asia" and anyone who invests in Tibet must follow the US guidelines on development, etc. The bill specifically says that the US consulate should be allowed to open in Lhasa (Capital City of Autonomous Region of Tibet). If the Chinese government doesn't allow that, they cannot open any consulate in America. So, this is a very strong condition.
And one great legacy of His Holiness is the democratic system or democratization of the exile Tibetans. It also acknowledges that Tibetan people participating in elections in 30 plus countries to elect a member of parliament in Sikyong and it also clearly says that the CTA reflects and represents the aspirations of the Tibetans in the diaspora and Sikyong is the President of CTA. For the first time, CTA is legally acknowledged by the US Congress and now through this law, by the US government. I am glad that the Tibetan Policy and Support Act is a major political statement for Tibet.
The Chinese stand and Chinese Foreign Ministry stand on Tibetans government-in-exile is that of a separatist organization insisted 'no one should support it; no one should meet with their officials'. This bill counters the Chinese stand and the bill acknowledges the CTA and the Tibetan freedom movement thereby sending a message all over the world. The fact that Washington DC is acknowledging the Tibetan movement so; it is a huge political statement, particularly, to the Tibetans inside Tibet.
Yes, this bill will be read and heard all over the world particularly by Beijing and I am glad that six million Tibetans inside Tibet will get to hear the positive development and support for Tibet. So, it recognizes the Tibet Issue as an international issue. I am glad that the next Sikyong will have an easier path and will get enough time to focus more on political activities. He/she can double the funding or alleviate the legal recognition of CTA by other governments around the world. A lot can be done. I just feel I have fulfilled my task politically.
I am very grateful to Speaker Nancy Pelosi who has been a rock-solid supporter of Tibet and a good friend of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I am thankful to all others who contributed immensely towards the cause of recognizing Tibet as a human rights issue and as a territorial occupation.

By The Virga Law Firm, P.A.
Now that summer is finally here and the kids are out of school, you and your ex-spouse are likely looking forward to spending some time with them and are thinking up some fun ways to bond with them. If the two of you are not communicating, however, you are likely going to run into some nasty problems and your plans stand a good chance of clashing. Since the last thing you want to do during the summer holiday is spend your time arguing with your ex, it is important that you take a moment to learn more about how you can make this process go much more smoothly.
Coordinate your schedules: There is no way around it. You and your ex both want to spend time with the children, so you need to share your plans with each other in advance instead of springing a trip or activity you want to share with the children at the last minute. Coordinating your schedules will help both of you get the time you want and avoid any unnecessary arguments or having to go to court.
Use your parenting plan: Generally, a parenting plan will set forth guidelines regarding how co-parents will handle a summer break, including holiday weekends, so try to rely on it for guidance. If the plan feels out-of-date, however, you and your co-parent might want to consider modifying it to better suit your family's current needs.
Let your kids stay in contact with their parent: Your kids are probably going to miss their other parent and this is totally natural, so do not take it personally. Instead, allow them to continue to communicate with their parent. Just because this is your special time with them does not mean you should try to severely limit their ability to communicate. Remember, this is their summer too, so try not to make this hard for them.
Try to be flexible: Negotiating a schedule is probably going to require some compromise from both of you, so try to remember to be flexible while working toward this common goal. If your co-parent wanted to take the kids to a specific event on a certain day and it is possible for you to reschedule your plans, work with him or her on making a readjustment. Never forget that the most important thing now and at any time is the health and happiness of your children, so minimizing conflict as much as possible should be a priority for both of you.
