1234 W. Randolph Street is located adjacent to the new City Winery on Randolph Street and offers an excellent redevelopment opportunity for the neighborhood. With 125' of frontage along Randolph Street, this property has excellent exposure and an 18,000 Sq. Ft. land site currently improved with three (3) class C warehouse buildings. Much like its surroundings, this property has been used for food production. It is zoned C1-3 Commercial and is within the City of Chicago's new downtown expansion area subject to an increased FAR to promote higher density.
The subject property benefits from its location in the thriving West Loop neighborhood and visibility on Randolph Street, adjacent to City Winery Chicago. This neighborhood has seen a dramatic shift in the past five (5) years from food production warehouses to creative loft office, retail and high-end restaurant conversions. Redevelopment is the highest-and-best use for many properties in this submarket. Furthermore, the City of Chicago recently released a proposal promoting higher density redevelopment in this neighborhood. In addition to the number of new developments in the neighborhood including 1K Fulton, Morgan MFG, Fulton West, and various boutique hotels like SoHo House, Nobu and Hoxton Hotels, high density redevelopment is being considered by new development currently in planning such as the McDonald's Corporate Office development on the former Harpo Studios site.
Proposed Building Size +103,500 Sq. Ft.
Land Size +18,000 Sq. Ft.

Himalaya Airlines has decided to launch Kathmandu-Doha flights instead after failing to obtain clearance to operate services to New Delhi as per its original plan.
The carrier, a Nepal-China joint venture company, said on Monday that it would be starting regular flights to the Qatari capital on May 31.
It will be flying its new Airbus 320 from Kathmandu to Doha on a regular basis after conducting charter flights to Colombo, Sri Lanka. The airline had flown Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and his entourage to Beijing during his official visit to China in March.
Raju KC, commercial general manager of Himalaya, said they would be operating three flights weekly to Doha initially. "We will soon be conducting daily flights to Doha on a regular basis," he said.
According to him, the introduction of their fleet to international markets could help increase the inbound market share of Nepali airlines. "In the next five years, we have targeted to increase the market share of Nepali carriers to 50 percent from the present 5 percent."
Due to the absence of competitive airlines in the country, much of Nepal's international market has been secured by international airlines. Himalaya said its flight to Doha would depart Kathmandu at 11 pm while the return flight would leave Doha at 2:30 am. Vijay Shrestha, vice-president, administration of Himalaya, said they had created the flight schedule keeping the wishes of travellers in mind.
Himalaya had originally planned to fly the Kathmandu-Doha route from April 12. It will be the second carrier to connect Qatar and Nepal after Qatar Airways.
Shrestha said they would be delivering their service 'on time performance' basis and at competitive prices. "We are offering excellent customer service with a flavour of Nepali culture and at prices similar to those of budget carriers," he said.
Himalaya has appointed Cleopatra Travels as its General Sales Agents that will be conducting passenger and cargo related services on behalf of the airline.
Apart from Doha, the company has been planning to operate flights to Delhi and various parts of China. Shrestha said they had already applied for a permit to link Delhi and that the paperwork was being processed. "We have also planned to extend services to Chengdu, Lhasa and Beijing in China in the near future."
He said they had targeted to expand the fleet to 15 Airbus 320s in the next five years and connect Kathmandu with various cities in Asia and beyond. The airline acquired its first aircraft, an Airbus 320, on March 9.
"The company will introduce long-haul wide-body aircraft of the A330 family in due course of time to operate direct flights to Japan, Korea, Europe, Australia and North America," Shrestha said.
It had previously planned to launch scheduled flights in October 2014, but the plan was deferred due to 'some technical problems'. It was further delayed by the devastating April 25 earthquake.

Q: converters for python pandas I have a .txt data where columns 6 and 7 are GPS position in the form:
50;18.5701400N,4;07.7693770E

When I read it by read_csv I try to convert it to cartesian coordinates by using converters. I wrote the function for converter
convertFunc = lambda x : float((x[0:5]+x[6:12]).replace(';','.'))
convert = {6:convertFunc,7:convertFunc}

when I use it on single value it works how I would like:
convertFunc(myData.Lat[1])
Out [159]:  55.187110250000003

when I try to use it in read_csv it does not work
myData = DataFrame(read_csv('~/data.txt', sep=',' names=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'Lat', 'Long'],converters=convert))

I have an error:
...
convertFunc = lambda x : float((x[0:5] + x[6:12]).replace(';', '.'))
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): DGPS ongitu

I don't know where do it wrong or what I misunderstand in converters?
Or maybe anyone knows good way (package) to work with GPS data in that form?
(I think it can be some problem with lambda When I want to apply my function to the column  I have an error: TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars)

A: That converter is a bit hacky; might I recommend something more robust like this?
def convert_dmds(s):
    deg, min = s[:-1].split(';')
    sign = 1 if s[-1] in 'NE' else -1
    return sign * (float(deg) + float(min) / 60.0)

def convert_gps(s):
    lat, lon = s.split(',')
    return (convert_dmds(lat), convert_dmds(lon))

Also, the error indicates that you are trying to convert something that is clearly not a GPS string -- a header row, perhaps?

A: Your converter is not ok.
In [67]: convertFunc = lambda x : float((x[0:5]+x[6:12]).replace(';','.'))

In [68]: convertFunc('4;07.7693770E')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
...
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 4.07.693770

On top of a dodgy converter, i think you apply the converter to the wrong column (look at the exception you get).

Why American Kids Are Brats
And their parents might be getting just what they deserve
By Judith Warner @judithwarnerFeb. 10, 2012

Tiger Moms vs. Bébé Moms Los Angeles Times
New Book Discovers the 'Wisdom of French Parenting' USA Today
Amidst all the talk this past week about Pamela Druckerman's new book, Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting, there was one phrase that immediately lodged itself in my mind. It was in a sidebar that ran with the Wall Street Journal adaptation of her book, "Why French Parents Are Superior," and it said this: "Children should say hello, goodbye, thank you and please. It helps them to learn that they aren't the only ones with feelings and needs."
That statement points directly to what I see as one of the most meaningful differences between the French and (contemporary) American style of parenting. I don't happen to believe, as the Journal pushed Druckerman's argument to say, that French parenting is necessarily superior, overall, to what we do in America. I don't think French children are, overall, better or happier people — such generalizations are silly. But it is true that French kids can be a whole lot more pleasant to be around than our own. They're more polite. They're better socialized. They generally get with the program; they help out when called upon to do so, and they don't demand special treatment. And that comes directly from being taught, from the earliest age, that they're not the only ones with feelings and needs.
(MORE: The Lesson of the Laptop-Shooting Dad)
I say all this based on many years of extended hanging out time with French families, both before and after my own girls — who, like Druckerman's children, were born in France — came along. In fact, that experience — and the contrast with the American way of parenting I discovered when I moved back to the States — inspired my book Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety, the main argument of which Druckerman recapitulates at the very beginning of Bringing Up Bébé. (Fuller disclosure: she interviewed me for the book as well.)
Like Druckerman, I've often noted wistfully how French children know how to handle themselves in restaurants. I've envied how French children eat what's put in front of them, put themselves to bed when instructed to, and, generally, tend to help keep the wheels of family life moving pretty smoothly. But the difference that struck me the most deeply, when my family moved to Washington, D.C., from Paris and my older daughter began preschool, was how much more basically respectful French children were of other people. Indeed, how much emphasis French parents put on demanding they behave respectfully toward other people. And how that respect helped make life more enjoyable.
(MORE: Don't Call Introverted Children "Shy")
In the years when I was gathering wool for, and then formally researching and writing Perfect Madness, I was disheartened time and again by the ways parents in the U.S. often did just the opposite. American parents assiduously strove to make sure that their children's wants and needs came first, no matter what. This sometimes had a name — "advocating for your child" — and was clearly predicated on the belief that if you didn't yourself do it, didn't teach your child to "self-advocate," no one would, and in the great stampede for resources and rewards your child would get left behind in the dust. In my preschool-mom world back then, this took the form of letting kids step all over the feelings of other children if their own feelings so compelled them, as when a mother in suburban Maryland explained to me that she let her little girl cancel playdates right up to the last minute because she "couldn't force her" to engage in social commitments that now bored her. It never seemed to dawn upon the mother that her child's passing boredom was less important than the other child's potentially hurt feelings; and that teaching her daughter to think of the other child's feelings would, in the long term, be better for them both.
This lack of parental empathy was brought home to me much more recently, when a mom in my then eighth grader's class complained to me about an incident in which another girl in the class had had a panic attack — a full-blown panic attack — just as the doors closed on the bus that was to take the class on a camping trip. Without a word of sympathy, the mom vented to me, "Like [my daughter] really needed to see that."
This lack of compassion and empathy, I've found, is rampant in today's hypercompetitive parenting culture in which almost every child is eternally being groomed to look out for No. 1, cheered on by parents who view other children more as potential impediments to his or her full flowering than as comrades-in-arms — or friends — united in the difficult task of gracefully growing up. As American parents, we parrot a certain amount of knee-jerk politeness, urging our kids to say "please" and "thank you," but I don't necessarily have the sense that all this is aimed at doing anything more profound than making our kids (and ourselves, by extension) look good.
(MORE: How Soccer Moms Have Moved On)
A more deeper understanding of courtesy — that we do things like make eye contact and say hello and goodbye because such behaviors convey to other people that they matter and are worthy of respect — is all but entirely absent from our parenting culture today. It's far more important to us that our children be in touch with their feelings and true to themselves than that they create good feeling around them through "superficial" good manners.
An old-fashioned French online guide to proper comportment shoots down that very modern way of thinking, which many view as an encroaching threat in France as well: "Philosophers may say that politeness is the greatest form of hypocrisy," it states. "But if saying hello, apologizing, thanking, helping those in need, being attentive to others, are signs of hypocrisy, then we accept that epithet, and can offer no defense."

Executive order may impact Colorado immigrant families
– Executive order may impact Colorado immigrant families
On behalf of Ramos Immigration Law | Jun 27, 2018 | Immigration Law
If you came to Colorado from another country of origin, you likely understand what it's like to face significant language and cultural barriers that place obstacles and challenges in your path as you try your best to build a new life in the United States. If you happen to be one of tens of thousands of immigrants who did not have his or her paperwork in order when crossing a U.S. border, it may have intensified your challenges.
In the recent past, thousands of children have been separated from their parents when Immigration Customs and Enforcement agents have taken the adults into custody to await adjudication of asylum cases or removal proceedings. Recent changes have occurred at the executive level of government that may help keep families together. This post tells more about those recent developments, as well as provides information to point you in the right direction if you choose to reach out for support.
The president signed a document
Recent news headlines informed the world that President Donald Trump signed an executive order, changing the system for the way families are dealt with at U.S. borders when parents arrive with children but no paperwork. The following list includes highlights from this week's news in addition to ideas about seeking support:
The president's signature let ICE officials know they are no longer to take children away from their parents when they apprehend adults crossing borders without proper legal documents.
The president said he is relying on the Department of Defense to help house detained families.
Actions are currently underway to reunite many children who have already been separated from their parents.
The zero-tolerance policy of prosecuting anyone caught crossing a U.S. border without proper documentation remains in place. It's just that parents with children will stay together in immigration facilities set up for that purpose.
As a concerned parent, you'd be worried sick if someone took your children away, even if that someone was an official agent of the U.S. government. If you or your loved ones are currently facing immigration-related problems, it does not necessarily mean your worst fears will actualize. In fact, many Colorado immigrants are able resolve their legal status problems, especially when children are involved and there are grounds for seeking asylum.

United, pilots union reach tentative agreements for early retirements and voluntary furloughs
Published Thu, Jul 9 20209:52 PM EDT Updated Fri, Jul 10 20209:45 AM EDT
Leslie Josephs@lesliejosephs
United is the last of the biggest four U.S. carriers to reach an agreement for early leaves for their pilots.
The tentative deal comes a day after United said 36,000 employees could be furloughed this fall if there aren't enough buyout and early retirement volunteers.
Airlines are prohibited from laying off or furloughing workers through Oct. 1 under the terms of federal aid.

and the union that represents its some 13,000 pilots have reached a tentative agreement on voluntary furloughs and early retirement packages, the latest effort to slash costs as the coronavirus pandemic devastates travel demand.
United is the last of the four biggest U.S. carriers to reach such an agreement with pilots. The airline's shares were up 1.6% in morning trading on Friday.
The deal comes as chances for a recovery in air travel grow more remote as cases of Covid-19 spike and states like New York and New Jersey issue quarantine orders for some arriving travelers in a bid to stop the disease from spreading, executives have warned.
The deal would need to be ratified by union leaders next week, the union said in a note that was sent to members late Thursday and viewed by CNBC.
The details weren't immediately disclosed, but it is likely to resemble pilots' early retirement packages offered by American
, Delta
and Southwest
. Delta last month came to an agreement that includes partial pay for pilots for three years or until they reach the federally mandated retirement age of 65 as well as health and travel benefits. Delta had said it was warning more than 2,500 pilots about possible furloughs.
The United agreement was announced a day after the airline warned about 36,000 employees — close to 40% of its workforce — that they could be furloughed when the terms of federal aid that prohibit job cuts expire on Oct. 1. That included possible furloughs of more than 2,200 United pilots.
"Unfortunately, this may not be the full extent of the furloughs, and we must be prepared for more based on the Company's plan to be 30 percent smaller next summer," Capt. Todd Insler, chairman of the United chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association, wrote to members Thursday.
United did not comment.
United and other airlines are urging employees to take early retirements or buyouts in order to limit layoffs when the terms of the $25 billion in payroll support run out in the fall.
Airline labor unions are asking Congress for another $32 billion in payroll support for the industry to last through the end of next March.
Airline executives say travel restrictions and new cases of the coronavirus are dashing hopes for a turnaround in the summer, generally the most lucrative season for carriers.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian told staff on Thursday that over the July Fourth weekend, the airline carried about 20% of the number of travelers it flew last year and said it is hesitant about expanding its schedule.
"And while we're adding back about 1,000 flights systemwide this month, we're still operating just about 30 percent of our normal July schedule," Bastian said in an employee memo. "The continued growth of the virus through the Sun Belt, coupled with quarantine restrictions being implemented in large markets in the northern part of the country, give us renewed caution about further schedule additions at this time."
Airlines' earnings season kicks off Tuesday when Delta is scheduled to report second-quarter results, followed by United and American the week after.
Delta and United appear most agile among hard-hit airlines, says Wolfe Research senior airlines analyst

Death of mob boss James 'Whitey' Bulger ruled a homicideThe FBI is investigating Bulger's death, while new details reveal the notorious criminal was badly beaten in his cell. ABC News' Kendis Gibson reports. U.S. Marshals Service via AP, FILE
The family of James "Whitey" Bulger signaled its intent Friday to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the Justice Department, nearly a year after the Boston gangster was beaten to death in federal prison.
Bulger, who was 89 when he died last October, had been moved into the general population of the federal penitentiary in Hazelton, West Virginia, where he was attacked within hours.
"We believe that James Bulger was deliberately placed in harm's way," the family said in a statement provided to ABC News by their attorney Hank Brennan. "There is simply no other explanation for the transfer of someone in his condition and inmate status to be placed in the general population of one of the country's most violent federal penitentiaries."

According to Bulger's family, he had anticipated being moved from U.S. Penitentiary Coleman in Florida to a medical facility better equipped to manage his failing health.

"Instead, he was transported to USP Hazelton, where he was murdered within hours of arrival," the family's statement said.
The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment, citing pending litigation.
(MORE: Who was James 'Whitey' Bulger?)
The FBI has been investigating Bulger's death, but has yet to bring any charges. The family said its notice of claim is meant to get answers.
The lawsuit is seeking $200,000 in damages, but the family noted that they expect no financial benefit since any award to Bulger's estate is subject to forfeiture orders.
Bulger, an FBI informant, had been serving a life sentence for crimes committed while head of the Winter Hill gang.
He had been linked to 11 murders.


Corn was first planted in Mexico more than 8,000 years ago. Local corn farms and unique native varieties are part of the country's culture and heritage. Until recently, the crop has been protected from genetic modification by Mexico's GMO ban. But now a new move by Monsanto puts all of that in jeopardy.
Just to put this in context: After Monsanto's genetically modified seeds were introduced to India's cotton farms, it took only a few years for them to dominate 95% of the market.

MotMot Takes Local Farmers Under Its Wing
IMAGE COURTESY OF MOTMOTCOFFEE.COM
Alvaro Vazquez, Author
Walking around the Seattle University campus, many have probably noticed some brown coffee bags stamped with a colourful bird on the front. However, what they might not know is the story behind its colorful mascot that signifies much more than just coffee.
In a world of industry giants such as Stumptown Coffee and Starbucks, Seattle University's own MotMot Coffee tries to take a different approach in the way that it runs its operation. Founded by Seattle U alumni Braden Wild, who graduated as an international business and economics double major, along with Seattle U professor Dr. Quan Le in 2014, MotMot Coffee began in the form of "Café Ambiental" with the promise of honoring the land from which its coffee grew, as well as the native people.
"I started MotMot to give consumers a transparent product that returns all profits back to the farmers," Wild said. Shortly after being founded and rebranded, MotMot Coffee opted to use the Turquoise-Browed MotMot (Nicaragua's national bird) as their logo as a sign of respect towards their product's origin.
MotMot Coffee works to go against the status quo by providing a fair deal to the farmers they depend on.
"On average only 20% of the money spent in the coffee industry comes back to the countries producing the green coffee, driving a massive inequality, poor wages, and disconnect between coffee consumers and producers," Wild said. "MotMot Coffee creates educational opportunities for farmers, and works in solidarity with the farmers [they] buy from to decide the objectives of the business."
MotMot breaks the traditional coffee industry mold that is criticized for dehumanizing and inadequately supporting these farmers. MotMot makes it clear that the company aims to treat its suppliers as business partners, friends, and most importantly: as humans. This effort is symbolic of the "Fair Trade" movement that aims to "[ensure that] products purchased by consumers are grown, harvested, crafted and traded in ways that improve lives and protect the environment."
Wild now works for Starbucks, which has rules regarding employment by outside competitors such as MotMot. Because of this, Senior Marketing and Management major Samantha Henry took over as MotMot CEO with even stronger ambitions.
"Working for this company allows me to combine my passions for business, social justice, and environmental sustainability. I am dedicated to ethical product sourcing, and am thrilled to express my love of coffee through such honest channels," Henry said.
For Henry, the position comes at an exciting time after MotMot Coffee moved to a non-profit platform that aims to even better empower farmers and their children, working to "[remove] barriers for kids to attend schools, such as transportation or school supplies, [and create] pivotal change for the coffee farming community."
It is these values and passion for the coffee industry, as well as Fair Trade Agriculture, that has inspired Samantha to pursue a career in the coffee industry and to continue to work for the justice of those affected but the coffee industry.
Moving into the 2019-2020 school year, Motmot is interested in hiring driven and passionate students from multiple disciples and seek to inspire future leaders through a "first- hand account of international trade and business in both Vietnam and Nicaragua."
Those who are interested in applying can also learn more about the jobs that MotMot Coffee has on May 6 from 6:30–7:30 p.m. in Pigott 100.
Purchasing MotMot Coffee can also be an excellent way to show your support if unable to work at MotMot. Located in The Cave, Pigott, and C-Street, their coffee provides an easy way to treat caffeine craves and support their non-profit mission.

Interview with the Winners of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health Climate and Health Champion Award
ZiQing Kuang, Staff Writer|December 10, 2020
As of this year, ACP's hydrohat group was declared the winner of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health Climate and Health Champion Award. The group worked on a project developing a Hydrothermal-Hat with sensors to monitor vital signs that will play a role in helping to reduce heat illnesses in Maricopa County. The team will be recognized on December 9th at their Annual Bridging Climate Health and Public Health Meeting. Congratulations to these students for their hard work and dedication: Sohani Sandhu, Abraham Troop, Kaitlyn Lai, Omina Nematova, Diya Nath, Ivan-Alexander Kroumov, Jacob Kaufman Warner, Nealin Banerjee, and Daniel Wu.
In March 2019, the team applied for a LMIT grant and got an EXCITE Award from MIT but not the grant for the 10k. However, this is still a very big achievement. In November, they were invited to the Climate Conference due to their clever and inventive idea. In February 2020, the team won a 50k grant from HUE (Healthy Urban Environments) for their achievements and even earned the Intel 40 for 40 grant. The Intel 40 for 40 allows groups across the state to fund initiatives concentrated on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
Recently, they patented their idea, and the patent is pending right now. The group established their Sensehydro LLC to develop a method of preventing heat related illnesses. They are now working with the ASU School of Sustainability and Maricopa County to bring the commercial product out. A couple days ago, the students were in a podcast for "Business Infrastructure" to talk about their project and achievements, and the episode will be released on December 20th. They won the Champions Award also, and they are planning on doing even more! I had the honor of speaking some of the students who were involved in this project.
Q: How did the group come up with this hydro hat idea?
A: We came up with the Hydro Hat idea after discussing how we can help protect Arizonans from the constant heat. We initially focused on preventing dehydration then moved on to preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke or heat stress. A wearable device that records someone's vitals and can be used to predict when someone is vulnerable to heat stroke seemed to be the most effective device.
Q: What is your favorite thing about Mrs. Nath? How did she contribute to the project?
A: Our favorite thing about Mrs. Nath is that she is always pushing us to reach for higher and higher goals. She never gave up on us or our idea and helped our group get to where we are now by getting us connected with doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs.
Q: What is your favorite achievement out of all the ones that the group earned for the invention?
A: Even though we did not get the $10,000 Lemelson-MIT grant, we continued to pursue our project. Our favorite achievement was winning the $50,000 HUE grant from the Ann Wrigley Foundation at ASU. All our hard work paid off and we are excited to use the grant money to develop and test the Hydro Hat.
Q: What is your favorite experience from this project?
A: Our favorite experiences from this project are the times we presented to community leaders and received their encouragement and constructive feedback on how to move forward. These community leaders included the City of Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke, the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. Jeff LaBelle.
Q: Can you explain the hydro hat idea?
A: The Hydro Hat is a wearable heat illness prevention device. It constantly monitors the user's temperature, pulse, and acceleration to warn them if they are at risk of heat stress or heat stroke. If the hat's devices detect symptoms of heat stress such as a sudden rise in temperature with a fast pulse, then the user will be notified through a phone app.
Congratulations to all the students on this team for their hard work and perseverance! Go Knights!

title: Aktivitäten und Projekte im Mai 2013
type: post
---

**Monatlicher Bericht über Aktivitäten und Projekte der Open Knowledge Foundation Deutschland.**

Hier ist unser [Bericht](http://eepurl.com/Avw_P) für Mai. Wer ihn abonnieren will, kann das [hier](http://eepurl.com/vwdjT) tun.

**Rückblick in den Mai**

Im Mai feierte die [Open Knowledge Foundation](http://okfn.org/) ihren 9. Geburtstag. Spontan wurde [am Gründungshaus in Cambridge eine Gedenktafel angebracht](http://blog.okfn.org/2013/05/20/happy-9th-birthday-to-the-open-knowledge-foundation/) und einige Sektflaschen geleert.
Entgegen unserer Vorsätze haben wir wieder viel zu viele schöne Maitage damit verbracht Überzeugungsarbeit und Lobbying zu betreiben. So argumentierten wir bei der Bund-Länder-Arbeitsgruppe und der Konferenz "Effizienter Staat" gegen die Datenlizenz für deutsche Verwaltungsdaten. Warum wir sie und einige andere Lizenzen als Sackgassenprojekte ansehen, die im besten Fall neue Datensilos schaffen, legen wir in diesem [Blogpost](/blog/2013/05/offene-lizenzen-fuer-daten-und-dokumente-der-deutschen-verwaltung/) detailliert dar.

Eine Ausnahme war [#opennrw](http://www.nrw.de/opennrw/), auch wenn der NRW-Innenminister mit der [Aussage](http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Open-NRW-Landesregierung-treibt-OpenData-und-Buergerbeteiligung-voran-1865911.html) "Ich finde, Open Government hat nichts damit zu tun, dem Bürger terabyteweise Daten zuzuschieben." uns und den hoffnungsvollen TeilnehmerInnen einen Dämpfer verpasste.

Umso mehr freuen wir uns über die dort vorgestellte Kampagne für ein [Transparenzgesetz in NRW](http://www.nrw-blickt-durch.de/home/), die wir natürlich unterstützen.

![domenicocabinet-detail](/files/blog/2013/06/energyhackday.jpg)

**Energy hacks**

In wenigen Tagen ist es soweit: Am 15. Juni veranstalten wir einen Hackday zum Thema "[Energie der Zukunft](http://energyhack.de/)".
Ziel des Events ist es, die Stromversorgung der Stadt sowie den Verbrauch im eigenen Haushalt besser zu verstehen und Energie effizienter zu nutzen. Neben Anwendungen und Visualisierungen, die einen besseren Überblick über den Stromverbrauch geben, suchen wir auch Hardware Gadgets, die zum Energiesparen anregen.
Auch Non-Coder sind herzlich willkommen, Ideen zu öffentlichen Installationen zum Thema Energieverbrauch zu entwickeln. Neben Hands-on-hacking wird es auch es auch Kurzvorträge sowie eine Bastelecke zum [Hardwarehacken](https://twitter.com/EnergyHackB/status/340383999123939328/photo/1) geben.

**Code for All**

Wir freuen uns sehr darüber, ein neues Projekt ankündigen zu dürfen: Wir sind offizieller Partner von [Code for America](http://codeforamerica.org/).
Unter dem Titel "[Code for All](http://codeforall.de/)" bringen wir die Verwaltung und junge technikaffine Experten zusammen. Aus der Zusammenarbeit sollen neue Lösungen für die alltäglichen Herausforderungen in der Interaktion zwischen Bürger und Verwaltung entstehen. Los geht es im September diesen Jahres mit den ersten drei Partnerstädten. Kommunen und Sponsoren, die sich für das Projekt interessieren und Projektpartner werden wollen, können uns anrufen oder sich per Mail bei uns melden.
Wenn ihr über das Programm auf dem Laufenden gehalten werden wollt, tragt euch [hier](http://eepurl.com/Aa8tr) beim Code for All-Newsletter ein.

![domenicocabinet-detail](/files/blog/2013/06/space_colony.jpg)

**Was wird spannend?**

Der Juni ist vollgepackt mit Open Data-Konferenzen, die wir euch nur ans Herz legen können. Besonders spannend wird die "[Interactive Cologne](http://interactive-cologne.com/)", wo wir mit anderen Open Transport-Aktivisten einen [Apps and the City Hack-Track](http://cologne.appsandthecity.net/) durchführen. Diesmal geht es um eure Ideen, was mit den Daten der Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe gemacht werden kann. Kommt vorbei und stellt eure Projekte vor!
Treffen könnt ihr uns außerdem bei den Open Data-Tagen in [Aachen](http://opendatadayaachen.de/) und [Berlin](http://berlin.opendataday.de/), beim Berliner [GovJam](http://www.govjamberlin.de/) und dem [OpenCityCamp](http://www.ulmapi.de/) in Ulm.

Mit Freude haben wir zudem erfahren, dass der Berliner Senat sich bei seiner neuen Geodaten-Nutzungsverordnung an der [GeoNutzV](http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/geonutzv/BJNR054700013.html) des Bundes orientieren will. Dadurch werden die Berliner Geodaten in Zukunft zu offenen Daten und frei nutzbar. Wir werden euch über die weitere Entwicklung informieren.

![pietri_dorando- finish - 540](/files/blog/2013/06/seeCable.jpg)

**Schon gesehen?**

Fortschritte gibt es, wenn auch nur im Bereich der Transparenz, am Berliner Flughafen BER. Die Piratenfraktion hat die Seite [BERwatch](https://ber.piratenfraktion-berlin.de/) als Informationsseite zum Untersuchungsausschuss der Dauerbaustelle überarbeitet und noch interaktiver gestaltet. Schaut mal vorbei.

Wer sich für den freien Zugang zu Gesetzen und Gerichtsurteilen interessiert, sollte sich mit den aktuellen Entwicklungen rund um die juris GmbH beschäftigen. In diesem [Blogpost](/blog) geben wir euch einen Überblick über die Frage, warum deren Datenbank eigentlich gemeinfrei sein sollte.

Weitere Entwicklungen und aktuelle Informationen zu unseren Projekten findet ihr auf unserer [Mailingliste](http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-de), hier im [Blog](/blog) oder auf [Twitter](https://twitter.com/okfde).

Aamir took to his Twitter handle to sing the praises of Huma starrer Leila. However, he was also concerned by the fact that there are no credits given in the trailer. He wrote, "Wow! I want to watch this. By the way, how come there are no credits. I want to know the names of the crew members."
Here's the tweet:

Not suitable for cooking and children younger than 3 years.
yeh that is but i guess its a good thing.
Drops from Saurfang (25) Hardmode.
The hunter that ninjas this from my rogue better watch his back. I've still got my daggers and stealth, and I don't know how well you'd fare against an Ambush.
why does a hunter want haste..
Wow...good comment downrating spree so far. For those who downrate - either write some nerd calculations or whatever else u consider "smart, funny or worth rating up", or FCK OFF and stop downrating - let people joke no matter how silly it is. Dont make all comments hidden.
Because it makes you attack faster? And it's better than being overcapped on hit.
And haste is terrible, the only stat worse than haste (aside from capped ones) is Int.
But I would expect this to go to melee class before a Hunter the same way I'd expect an awesome ranged weapon to go to a Hunter before a melee class.
yes,its nice for hunter,but omfg there many other perfect 2h for them. Plus this sword is like one of the top3 for rogues while no way the best for a hunter i think.
ummmm, i think you guys are failing to see, while yes there are better staffs than the basic 70agi gives, with 2 of these swords you stack +26agi enchants on both for 192 agi from mele weps. ntm www.elitistjerls.com clearly says that you are better off useing X2 1h swords over a staff or pole arm.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that 2 of these is probably the best option for a DW Frost tank. The speed makes it ideal for TPS (typical tanking 1Hs are normally ~1.6 speed) while still offering a blue socket for more stam.
Edit: This comment was accurate and verified by 2 other replies, but apparently I was downrated because I realized it 4 months before anyone else.
Pretty much the best (and only weapons in ICC) weapons for any DW Frost DK out there. Period.
Well unless arthas drops some nice goodies for us.
If Arthas doesn't drop Dk gear then what's he using?
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=51857 wouldn't be too hard to get.
Also in the top 3 BiS 1h weapons for a DW Frost DK, rogues need to accept blizz didn't forge this solely for them.
Joined a guild last week. Was their lead dps without having set foot into one of their raids.
Lost this to a hunter "I need it for stats", near the bottom of the meters, because I'd won Bague du colosse d'os earlier in the raid.
Raid leader didn't see a problem.
You need to accept the fact that blizzard allows you to cover 2 roles while Rogue has 1, and is better at it than you.
Much more dps in the hands of a Rogue, sorry.
edit: With the same level gear and both being competent at their class a Deathknight will out dps a Rogue? Then Blizz needs to look into this because there is no way that should happen. Or do you mean that the multitude of DK's that beat out the Rogues had much higher gear score, and were going up against mediocre Rogues? That sounds more likely.
does it kill bed bugs?
Well for humans I would see this being the best threat weapon.
ICC 25-M Heroic, HERE I GO!
my favorite sword model in the game.


The blog will be on hold until mid-December.
Some non-writing adventures will be taking me out of wifi range.
I woke up inside the Winnebago over the summer to an unpleasant epiphany: the interior was just ––just –– just fugly.
Shiny gold drawer-pulls, fake oak, awful dingy tan upholstery. It's clean, heaven knows, but the overall effect ––!
Granted, the Winnie is all about the destination.
About being able to haul all the gear and a boat and brew my own coffee in the morning.
About making an egg-salad sandwich or taking a whiz while bopping down the highway.
But once the scales fell from my home-decor eyes, I could barely stand it.
140 square feet of multi-layered hideousness.
As happens, I turned to Pinterest. That fantastic internet time-eater that indexes the world's collective creativity for endless browsing-and-daydreaming pleasure.
I have a soft spot for turquoise-and-red 1950's-style Shasta travel trailers. I think Vardo carts are also captivating. Who needs more space than that?
Realistically however, the Winnie is a utilitarian vessel.
She could be tarted up or stuffed full of whimsy, but at the end of the sailing day, she's still where we drop our salty sailing clothes and hang our salty sailing hats.
Still, something had to be done. A fan of direction and themes, I set myself a design goal: cozy and fresh and comfortable. Not fussy. Not mortifyingly dated or dingy. Machine-washable.
Luckily, paint is cheap. Gripper primer and Cabinet Rescue paint will cover a multitude of decorative sins, including (gulp) textured vinyl wallpaper and laminate. How had I never noticed the breadth of its ugliness?
I mean, for reals: what in the world did the windows do to deserve those treatments ––!?
The mechanics of the Winnie's makeover aren't very interesting: some light demolition, sixteen miles of masking tape, bolts of attractive fabric, elbow grease, more hours down the rabbit hole of Pinterest, and the like.
The settee cushions went to local upholsterer, as I knew I'd make hash of the long zippers. I did the rest of the sewing, with some help from my favorite sailmaker.
The Winnie must keep her aluminum-foil thermal window shades, because, you know –– the solar-oven effect.
I like to think it's a nod to that brave little toaster, the Cassini spacecraft. In truth, passers-by are probably more liable to draw the connection with the blacked-out RV in Near Dark instead.
Velcro makes the shades more flexible and useful, if not one whit less tacky.
How long did it take? Probably longer than I think: taping the whole cabin was a full afternoon, but each coat of paint was a matter of an hour. Four coats of paint including primer, five when I went the wrong way with my choice of color.
I was hesitant about drilling holes in the walls until it occurred to me: this is a 2006 truck. What could I possibly do to make the interior design worse?
Here's how it turned out so far. Still some things left, but that's home life.
I splashed out on a trompe l'oeile window treatment for the back escape hatch. I had UPS print up a large vinyl copy of a photo, which I then glued to a thin fitted wooden hatch.
It blocks the sun and –– framed by plain cotton curtains –– it gives the Winnie just a smidgen of whimsy.
Fiction Prompt: Top Item on My Birthday List.
Warm-up writing prompted by –– what else? A PONY!
There would be no escape this day. Sqantahonoh-neehoit (a name that roughly translates to "rhomboid-shaped fruit of the false-kola cactus") resolved again to bide her time. The art of survival was patience. It was a thing she'd come to know, along with the feel of the saddle on her back and the tug of the lead-line.
She'd witnessed what happened when patience ended. Her herd-mate, Gohollin-ah (meaning "Speedy wooly caterpillar" or, with a slightly different inflection "Wooly kitten"), had been lost to such an event. A day like any other until the moment of impatience. Followed by panic, a loud outcry, and a beating that ended badly. Before even the moon had a chance to rise, Gohollin-ah was taken away in a vehicle that smelled of blood and fear and death.
A hard day and a sorrowful night it had been.
The scent of freedom came to Squantohonoh-neehoit now –– nearly masked by the carnival odors of corndogs and fry-dough, and the tang of hot pavement –– on the dusty wings of the breeze. She did not reveal the glowing coal that was her spirit. She snuffed deeply of the freedom-wind, and reminded herself: I am patient. Patient as the log that waits for water. Patiently waiting for the flood to carry me free.
She would run again, she knew it. She would run and roll in the sand. She would crop sweet green grass and drink clear water as it sparkled over rock.
She did not hear her own deep sigh of sadness and longing.
She did not know that her patience would save her. She did not know the shape of the freedom could shift and change like snowdrift in a blizzard. But it would.
The Would-Be Farm: A Drum-roll Please!
That's a load of shiitake.
Okay, it's a handful of shiitake, enough for Mr. Linton and me to both enjoy one mushroom uncooked, and then plenty for a pan full of butter-sautéd beauties to go into his ommette and on top of his leftover pizza.
In a word, they were amazing. So much flavor in a tender bite of fungus!
For all I know, mushrooms have been popping up all summer, but we happened to be on hand in time to beat the squirrels and the slugs to harvest this autumn.
Slugs like shiitake. So do squirrels.
A small harvest, perhaps, but a genuine farming success uncomplicated by late frost, drought, tent caterpillars, etc., etc.
The Would-Be Farm is. Hurrah.


Since I titled my book on healthy eating Have Your Cheeseburger And Keep Your Health Too! it's no surprise that I like cheeseburgers, but my latest variation on giving a cheeseburger a healthy food makeover was inspired by my recent trip back East to Florida to visit family.
It seems that the second box of Boca Burgers that my accommodating brother-in-law brought for the family barbecue to meet the dietary needs of my husband and I were still lurking in the freezer since late November, just begging to see the light of the kitchen (by the way, if you're not into meatless, read on, we can still make this a healthy option, just use a lean turkey burger).
Plus, I had just done a supermarket run with my mother-in-law and the deli section was giving out a free package of Flatout bread to anyone who purchased a pound of deli meat or cheese (which she had done for the kids). Love fresh Flatout bread!
Inspiration struck and a new creation--Aunt Melanie's Cheeseburger Wrap--was born!
My eight and eleven-year-old nieces were so intrigued watching me make it (my four-year-old niece especially had fun eating the strips of cheese before I could get them into the cheeseburger wrap), plus they loved it when they tried it, that I think it'll be a hit not only with you, my loyal adult readers, but also for the kids in your household, or your life.
Note: I do this as a vegetarian recipe, but a lean turkey burger is also fine if you don't want to go meatless.
Cook Boca Burger as usual (I like to add a little light soy sauce or worcestershire when pan frying with olive oil spray and cook about 4 minutes on low-medium heat per side). Cut up burger into small pieces. Cut up thin strips of the cheese leaving on the back of the wrapper until you're ready to use.
Lay out wrap and make about an inch wide line with pieces of chopped Boca Burger, layer a couple of strips of cheese over the burger, add shredded lettuce and a drizzle of ketchup. Roll up wrap tightly to cover the mixture and keep repeating until you've filled and rolled it all up. Any leftover items can fill in any gaps on the ends. Slice in half and serve.
It's messy, but really good and should bring smiles all around (and the kids won't realize they're eating vegetarian if you use that type of burger). Now that's healthy eating with favorite comfort foods!


A Hidden Markov Model method, capable of predicting and discriminating beta-barrel outer membrane proteins.
In this work we developed a method based on a Hidden Markov Model, capable of predicting the transmembrane beta-strands of the gram-negative bacteria outer membrane proteins, and of discriminating such proteins from water-soluble ones when screening large datasets. The model is trained in a discriminative manner, aiming at maximizing the probability of the correct prediction rather than the likelihood of the sequences. The training is performed on a non-redundant database consisting of 16 outer membrane proteins (OMP's) with their structures known at atomic resolution.
We show that we can achieve predictions at least as good comparing with other existing methods, using as input only the amino-acid sequence, without the need of evolutionary information included in multiple alignments. The method is also powerful when used for discrimination purposes, as it can discriminate with a high accuracy the outer membrane proteins from water soluble in large datasets, making it a quite reliable solution for screening entire genomes.
This web-server can help you run a discriminating process on any amino-acid sequence and thereafter localize the transmembrane strands and find the topology of the loops.

Q: Does Android NDK give speedup for sending large int[] over sockets? I need to send an array of 500,000 ints over a socket between two Android devices. Currently, I'm spending a lot of time converting the int[] to a byte[] so that Java's socket will accept it (see my previous question Efficiently send large int[] over sockets in Java, where we determined there's no faster way to do the typecasting in Java).
My question now is, if I take the int[] and pass it through JNI to the Android NDK, can I expect the typecasting to byte[] to go any faster in native code? I know typecasting int* to char* is quite simple in plain-old C, however I'm wondering if the JNI will negate any performance gains.
Furthermore, once I have a byte[] in my native code, can I efficiently pass it back to my Java code or do I need to implement the socket in C as well?
Edit 1: People have been posting a lot of answers without clicking on the link. Using ByteBuffers is not a good option, its actually way slower than mask-and-shift, which is still way slower than my performance critical code needs! That's why I'm asking about the NDK.
Edit 2: I changed the text above to say that C code can cast from int* to char* instead of int[] to byte[]. Hopefully that clarifies the question.
Edit 3: To clarify my use-case, this is a research problem where I distribute a large array of ints across multiple devices and sort the list in parallel. Assume that I have 500,000 ints in Java (doesn't matter where they come from) and I need to get them off the device via a socket as quickly as possible. Answers that say "don't start with an array of ints" aren't helpful. Additionally, my application code needs to be as close to 100% Java as possible. If native typecasting and sockets improve performance, that's ok, but I can't do anything else (i.e. the sort) natively.

A: No, using JNI/NDK won't give you a performance boost. First of all when you try to get the array over to the native code you'll have to copy it or use a directly allocated ByteBuffer. Turns out the implementation of Dalvik VM always returns direct pointer from Get*ArrayElements(). I do doubt that you'll get a performance bump because calls through JNI have overhead cost. Finally C++ and Java have the very close performance in this scenario (see C++ performance vs. Java/C#).
Take a look at this question and the first answer for a fast way to convert the int[] to a byte[] from Java How to convert int[] to byte[]
Is there a reason you're using an int[] instead of byte[] to begin with? If it's an image we might be able to recommend ways of avoiding conversion.

A: Use a SocketChannel and you can use ByteBuffers instead.
buffer.asIntBuffer().put(ints);
do {
  channel.write(buffer);
} while (buffer.hasRemaining());

A: If the Java code needs efficient access to int[], then there is a good chance that native send/receive with sockets is worth the effort.
But often it is OK to use IntBuffer instead of int[]. In this case, you can allocate a ByteBuffer and get an IntBuffer from it:
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(500000*4);
IntBuffer ib = bb.asIntBuffer();

You should experiment with both allocate() and allocateDirect(), see " ByteBuffer.allocate() vs. ByteBuffer.allocateDirect() " and http://objectissues.blogspot.co.il/2005/10/java-nio-allocate-vs-allocatedirect.html.
Important! In this case, you will get UnsupportedOperationException if you try to use ib.array().


Former first lady, Patience Jonathan has asked President Buhari to call Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to order.
Madam Faka was actively involved in the reelection bid of her husband. She toured the length and breadth of the country, campaigning for him.
Foolish, dumb, and uneducated woman. What a stupid comparison! Obama's wife didn't meddling in American treasury and finances when her husband was president, she had nothing to do with looting and embezzlement of American economy to bankruptcy. Magu, o ya continues to nail all looters of Nigerian destiny. Until EFCC start charging those looters to court, recover the stolen money and send them all to prison, anti-corruption fight by this admin. will not be meaningful to me. Illiterate is surely a disease, chai, there is God.
NOT ABOUT TRUMP BUT ACCOUNTABLILITY.IF U ARE INNOCENT,U SHOULDNT BOTHER BUT IF GUILTY,FACE IT.TRUMP CABINET MEMBERS HAS BEEN RESIGNING DUE TO ONE ISSUE OR THE OTHER.LAST WAS HEALTH SECRETARY/MINISTER WHO USED A GOVT AIRCRAFT FOR NON ESSENTIAL TRIPS.THIS INFURIATED TRUMP AND FORCED THE MED DOCTOR TO RESIGN.MY PROBLEM WITH EFCC IS SELECTIVE JUSTICE BECAUSE BY NOW AMECHI AND THOSE CRROKS WHO DECAMPED TO APC TO EVADE ARREST WOULD BEEN COOLING OFF IN JAIL BY NOW.THAS THE HEIGHT OF INJUSTICE JUDGING FROM THAT POINT.
Perhaps,that was what the stupid woman was alluding to. We have a corrupt system regardless. We had a former Minister of Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro who had compromised the security of this nation, and who affirmed theft. He now decamped, and the head of APC with their stupid brooms, will not say; Hey, we don't want you in this Party. Rather, the dumb Senator Tinubu still welcomed him to APC that his services to the nation is needed. What services? He is roaming around Lagos in the company of political big boys who attended his mom's funeral. Just wait till the thief becomes the next Governor of Lagos State. Only in Nigeria.
Pay back the looted wealth to the country please.
So what if Madam Patient campaigned for her husband, is that not what good wives do? It's about corruption, embezzlement of public funds and blatant abuse of positions. Firstly, I see no reason to address First Ladies as Her Excellency, we voted for the husband not the wife. That's the origin of their becoming intoxicated with power and struggles for recognition. Comparing herself with an intelligent, highly educated and impeccable woman with class like Michelle Obama is the height of insults. Anyway, I give Patience credit with recognizing and wanting to associate with someone the world adores. Madam Patient, you get good taste but e be like say you are losing your mind. If you and your husband did the right thing for Nigeria, you will be walking the streets free of fear of persecution and playing golf and watching your children grow like the Obamas.
Lola O thank you for saying what has been in my mind all these years and which I have been telling those who care to listen. The problem with Nigeria especially the press is boot licking. Why address first ladies as "Her excellency"?, that is wrong and that is what has given them the power do to and undo. Why would a minister of a political person go to the president/governor through the wife? It is absolutely wrong and when they start misbehaving people start complaining.
Trump can't go after Lady Obama she's too intelligent & smart for him.
A thief will always remain a thief, whether a man or woman, a young or old, a fool or uneducated, fat or slim, short or tall, a greedy or callous….its an inborn thing as a result of poor moral background…..give them another chance, they will repeat the same thing….EFCC…do your thing!!!

Q: Angular: How to emit an Object whose values from two different components I have two components login and project. When initialized the homepage, I can get the user name in login, and nearly at the same time, get the project name in the project. Now, I need to bring them up to other components. However, in fact, I cannot ensure these two execution order. Therefore, is there a way to allow other components to subscribe to the two values in full?

    emitter: ReplaySubject<{userName, projectName}>; // in app.service.ts;
    emitter.next({'jackie', ''}); // in login.component.ts;
    emitter.next({'', 'rush-board'}); // in project.component.ts;
    emittr.subscribe((response) => {userName = response.userName; projectName = response.projectName}); // in other components;

Make sure no value is covered by empty value


Ten tips to get the best family photos you can with a baby.
Once you add another member of the family to the group you instantly feel like your family photos are outdated and let's be honest they are but planning family photos with a new baby is far from easy. Here's a few tips to help.
1. Wear fitted clothing. You the baby and the whole family. Babies like to grab things and so your scarf that worked so well the last time may end up being pulled into the gaping mouth of the newest addition. Also babies tend to squirm around a bit so a loose fitting jacket on their small frame tends to push up towards their ears think scared turtle which although your baby is adorable no matter what this is probably a look you should avoid.
2. Watch your colors-Your looking for colors that complement each other but don't blend in. Your baby is going to be held in every shot. If you wear the same shade as your child you end up with a baby with a floating head because everything else blends together. Also when choosing your outfit and theirs try to find one that isn't super obvious when wet. Babies chew and drool on everything and that included their outfit and anyone planning on holding that child.
3. Bring a neutral colored blanket-This is great is you want any sort of solo shots as well as for keeping the kid out of the cold and out of the sun. Choose a blanket that isn't going to stand out in photos such as a neutral solid color.
4. Bring a pacifier- I know you bring one everywhere you go and for good reason just make sure you bring one.
5. Bring an extra outfit- accidents happen so when you are packing that diaper bag full of what ifs toss in an extra outfit for the baby and at least an extra shirt for you. Between diaper blowout and spit up the chances are pretty high you're going to need it.
6. Bring your car seat- I know it will be in the car however it's nice to have so you can get a few photos of just you as parents. Your kids want to see pictures of their parents in love framed on the wall. It makes a bigger difference that you will ever know.
7. Have fun! I've been there planning photos with a baby is all the sudden more stressful so relax breathe and go with the flow. There's not reason to worry about it too much because guess what you have no control. Baby feeling grumpy that day well that's just how it goes.
8. Nap, feed, bottle, blanket- You do the best you can and there's a lot you can't control but there are a few things you can control so make sure that your baby isn't overly tired, starving, or cold.
9. Toys and treats- You can bring them but please keep it simple. A soft teddy bear is great a bright plastic toy that lights up and makes noise is well better left at home unless you plan on using it to get their attention behind the lense.
10. Getting the attention behind the lense--JUST DON'T I know I know you want to oh how you want to but I can't tell you the many many times that the kid looks adorable and is smiling...but not at the camera. And a million people yelling and screaming only increases that.
Lastly……don't expect perfection. These are family photos they aren't going to be perfect. So breathe also make time for you and your husband in front of the lense. You guys were the reason these little ones are here so take time to celebrate that bond.

Bankai is a lesser known beach to the east of Bantai beach and just before Haad Rin hill. It is separated from the long Bantai beach by a small creek. It is a good beach for those who want to be near the parties of Koh Phangan but want a relaxed beach. Just down the road are the sites for the Jungle Experience, Half Moon Party, Black Moon Culture Party, Shiva Moon Party and Ban Sabai after party. Bankai started hosting its own party in 2012. This is called the Blue and Green Sramanora Waterfall Party. It is in the jungle next to a waterfall, not far from the Dusit Buncha Resort. It is a free party that goes all night. It is held 2 days beore the Full Moon Party. The music is usually minimal and tech-house.
When the Blue and Green Sramanora Waterfall party isn't happening Bankai is a peaceful beach location. There are a few bars along the beach but those looking for all night excitement usually head off for Bantai or Haad Rin.
The beach at Bankai consists of soft white sand, not the finest on the island, but still good enough for sunbathing. The sea is good for swimming all year round.
There's a good range of accommodation options in Bankai. You can find both cheap and cheerful beach bungalows as well as concrete air-con bungalows. Phangan Orchid Resort has a swimming pool next to the beach. Chantaramas is the best resort in Bankai. It is a stylish new resort that has a communal pool as well as private pool villas.
You can walk into Bantai village from Bankai in 10 minutes. Here you will find plenty of shops, restaurants, travel agents, bike hire places and a 7-11. Bantai has a a couple of bars with live music, and farther than the road are a few 'girly' bars that are hard to miss at night.
Click on the links below to find the best prices for accommodation in Bankai. All prices are inclusive of tax.


Several times I've wished I had a battery indicator in my battery-powered projects, but it uses so many custom characters in the LCD and sacrifice analog input for voltage indication and components and connections. So we decided to do it the smart way and push the Arduino to its limits "as we always do" and get the maximum out of it.
In this project we use only one custom character from the LCD. So you still have seven free custom characters to use in your project. We also used the trick of reff voltage to get the input voltage from the Arduino without using any analog inputs or components, looks like the complete package.
All you have to is add the function that displays the indicator in the loop function and add the place where you wanted to display it and you are ready.

Iran Has Temporarily Freed 85,000 Prisoners, Including Political Ones, Amid Coronavirus
Javaid Rehman, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, said earlier in March that Iranian prisoners have been infected with coronavirus

Iran has temporarily freed about 85,000 prisoners, including political prisoners, a spokesman for its judiciary said on Tuesday, in response to the coronavirus epidemic.
"Some 50% of those released are security-related prisoners ... Also in the jails we have taken precautionary measures to confront the outbreak," said Gholamhossein Esmaili.
On March 10, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran said he had asked Tehran to free all political prisoners temporarily from its overcrowded and disease-ridden jails to help stem the spread of coronavirus.
Iran's death toll from the coronavirus has reached 853 and a total of 14,991 people have been confirmed infected across the country, one of the worst national outbreaks outside China, where the new virus originated.
Esmaili did not elaborate on when those released would have to return to jail.
Javaid Rehman, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, said earlier in March that Iranian prisoners have been infected with coronavirus.

In the wake of the firings of hockey coach John Micheletto and women's basketball coach Sharon Dawley, University of Massachusetts athletic director Ryan Bamford held a conference call Monday afternoon to discuss the reasoning behind the moves as well as expectations for both active replacement searches.
Two brief press releases were sent out Sunday morning announcing the two coaches, both with one more year remaining on their contracts, were relieved of their duties and had their remaining salaries bought out.
"This is an opportunity for us in both sports, in women's basketball and hockey, to make a change and take our program in each respective sport to the next level. These are decisions that I don't take lightly. I put a lot of thought into each of these and I think in my first 11 months, one of the things that I've really tried to articulate to people in our organization and externally is that we can build championship caliber programs at the University of Massachusetts," Bamford said in Monday's conference call.
According to Bamford, the payouts for Micheletto and Dawley's contracts, including vacation accruals, were $259,715 and $226,415 respectively. Bamford stressed that no taxpayer money or additional University funding would be used in the buyouts.
Bamford said he will take charge on the search for UMass' next hockey coach while Darrice Griffin, who was named senior associate athletic director for internal operations/senior woman administrator last June by Bamford, will handle the women's basketball search.
Griffin is a former basketball player for Texas Tech and also serves the role as women's basketball administrator at UMass. Bamford added that there will be no search firm brought in to help with either process.
The UMass women's basketball team finished 12-18 (6-12 A-10) this season and was eliminated in the second round of the conference tournament. This year marked the Minutewomen's second-straight 12-win season after winning seven combined games the previous two seasons.
The hockey program, which finished 8-24-4 in 2015-16, was bounced out of the Hockey East tournament in a two-game sweep at Boston University this past weekend.
Bamford said he doesn't believe UMass is too far away from being competitive in the tough Hockey East conference. The Minutemen are only graduating two seniors and are expected to return a strong core group of contributors.
Bamford sees hockey as a "revenue-generating sport" that has fallen below expectations on the ice and in terms of financial benefits for the University.
"We've gone the last four or five years, I think we've lost about $150,000 in ticket revenue from 2011-12 to this past season. For a budget of $34 million, it doesn't seem like a lot, but that's $150,000 that we can put back into our program and build the resources to a level where we're going to have some sustained success," Bamford said.
Bamford said he has not set up a target date to fill either vacancy, as he stressed patience in order to find the "right fit" for each program. He added that he already has a list of preliminary coaching targets in mind for hockey, which he would not disclose.
