Unfortunately, the presentaion project seems to not been able to add an issue.
There is a post at SO Using R in Python with Rpy2: how to ggplot2? with code
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

gp = ggplot2.ggplot(mtcars)
pp = (gp

What is the proper way to use R ggplot2 code in Python notebooks in Colab and how the notebook can be fixed?

A: That presentation is from 6 years ago. It should run with Python and R versions used at the time (along with their respective packages, also with version from that time).
Otherwise some of the content made it to the rpy2 documentation or other more recent write-ups.

The Republican running for governor of Kansas has proposed an unorthodox reform for the state's Medicaid program. Secretary of State Kris Kobach says he plans to combine KanCare with a payment system called "direct primary care," sometimes known as concierge medicine. But, Nomin Ujiyediin of the Kansas News Service reports Kobach's claims of big Medicaid savings are unrealistic.

Most communication is nonverbal, and it's increasingly important that you are able to understand body language. If you are a teacher, understanding a student's body language is especially important. Their body language can tell you how receptive they are to your class discussion, if the class is in danger, or even if an individual student is having a bad day. And they can tell you all of this without saying a word. The key to interpreting body language correctly is situational awareness and an understanding of how people physically express what they're thinking and feeling.
Make eye contact. Look at your student's eyes. Are they dull and unfocused? Are they focused at a point on the floor, ceiling, or wall? If so, the student is likely not paying attention. However, if a student appears alert and keeps their eyes on you as you move around the room, you can be assured that they are paying attention.
Look at their facial expressions. Your students' facial expressions will reveal a variety of emotions and thoughts, from anger to interest to happiness. As you make eye contact with each student, pay attention to what their facial expressions are telling you.
If a student's mouth is turned down and their eyes are dull, they are likely unhappy to be in class just then.
If a student appears alert and is smiling or half smiling, they are most likely responding well to the class discussion and feel engaged.
If a student has an indifferent expression on their face, they may be bored and simply biding time until you let the class leave for the day.
Evaluate their posture. Are they slouched over the desk? They may be trying not to fall asleep. A student who is paying attention will usually be sitting up, whereas a student who is bored or disengaged may very well be slouching.
You can help perk up your student by moving around the classroom. They will have to sit up to keep their eyes on you, which should be enough movement to re-engage them.
Look at the legs. If a student is tapping their foot against the floor or bouncing their legs up and down, they may be impatient with the lecture, conversation, or presentation. They may also have a physical or psychological reason for these movements. Leg position varies from student to student—some prefer to cross their legs, or to place them firmly on the floor.
Look around. In addition to looking at students individually to assess and interpret their body language, try looking at the class in quadrants or even as a whole. You will likely find several students engaging in similar body language, which should give you an idea of the overall class atmosphere that day.
If a majority of the class appears disengaged or bored, consider stopping your lecture and moving to a group project or open class discussion.
For example, in some Asian cultures, looking a teacher in the eye may indicate that a student is challenging their authority.
Autistic students, and those with ADHD, typically fidget and avoid eye contact when they are focusing. They may also stare into space if they're focusing on what they hear. None of this is cause for concern.
Assess a potential threat. Body language can reveal a student's intention or thoughts of being aggressive or using force. Some of this body language is more subtle, requiring keen observation, whereas other body language is fairly overt and obvious, and clearly shows an intention to cause harm.
Find their hands. The angrier someone is, the more likely they are to touch their head or rest their hands on their head. It's as if the brain is full of discomfort that must be touched. The student may rub their scalp or clench their fists and remove them from the head area.
These are all non-verbal cues that the student is becoming increasingly angry and potentially violent.
Also, if you see a student's hands linger or hover near their waistband or inside their clothing, you should assume that they may have a weapon and take appropriate precautions.
Watch for a student who is removing outerwear that impedes movement. If a student removes outer layers of clothing, like a jacket or sweater, it could indicate that they are too warm. However, if you are looking at the student's body language and can tell they are angry or frustrated and also see them removing clothes, you are seeing a nonverbal expression of escalating frustration and potential aggression.
Students are especially prone to removing clothes and jewelry just prior to physically fighting.
Look where they look. There are two types of stares that may reveal aggressive behavior or ideas: the thousand-yard stare and the target stare. Both of these indicate that the student is mentally elsewhere, and, when combined with other nonverbal cues, could indicate potential danger for you and your students.
The thousand-yard stare is one in which the person is unfocused, not seeing anything directly in front of them. It's as if they're looking through everything and everyone.
The target stare is one in which the student narrows their eyes and stares directly at you or another student, often in the chin area.
Spot the fake smile. A student may feel obligated to smile at you when you look in their direction; however, that smile may be obviously fake and conspicuously dishonest. A fake smile indicates that the student is not feeling well emotionally or physically, but that they do not want to share those feelings with you.
Pay attention to blinking. Almost everyone blinks their eyes. It's an involuntary process that keeps the eye organs healthy and lubricated. If you notice a student blinking too much or hardly at all, they may be telling you that they are tired, bored, or distressed.
Encourage stretching. A student may yawn or stretch several times, and this indicates that they are bored, tired, or disinterested. Encourage stretching—even if a student has to stand up to do so—as this promotes blood circulation and increases oxygen levels to the brain, providing a natural burst of energy.
Watch the arms. Your students' arms will tell you quite a bit about how the class is receiving your instruction, how they're feeling about being in the class, and their individual moods. Look at each student's arms, and then look at the class as a whole for any like behavior.
Folded arms indicate the student is closed off and not receptive to the discussion.
Open arms indicate interest, openness, and that student is feeling connected and included.
Speak to the principal and/or the student's parents if you notice a pattern. You may notice that a particular student often looks bored or uncomfortable during class. Or, they may seem unable to focus and pay attention. If you notice a pattern, it can be helpful to alert the principal or other administrative figure at the school. You may also want to talk to the student's parents about their behavior.
Remember to be respectful of the family's privacy and note that they may feel uncomfortable sharing personal details with you.
Notice a student who avoids eye contact. Eye contact doesn't always indicate that someone is trying to hide something from you or that they're being sneaky, especially in young children. If a child student avoids eye contact, it may indicate (as with some older children or adults) that they are shy.
Avoiding eye contact may also indicate that the child did something that they feel badly about, such as knocking something over or wetting their pants.
Decipher a student's folded arms. Children learn how to communicate from the adults around them, especially body language. Just like with adults or older kids, children that stands with their arms folded are comforting themselves. They may or may not know that they're feeling apprehensive, or that folding their arms is a reassuring and comforting maneuver.
Don't force a child to uncross their arms or approach something that makes them apprehensive. Instead, tell them "Take your time. You're safe and I'm here with you," to encourage them to warm up to a person or object.
Figure out why a student might scratch their head. Children may scratch their heads because they itch, just like anyone does. When children in the classroom scratch or touch their heads it might also be their way of expressing confusion. If you see a child scratch or touch their head, pause and ask if they understand the lesson.
Notice a student holding their crotch. If you have a child student that grabs their crotch or sits on one leg and rocks back and forth in their chair, ask them if they'd like to use the restroom. They are likely aware that they have the urge to use the bathroom, but might not be comfortable asking to go.
Other signs include pointing to the crotch, crouching, standing in a corner, or even squatting.
Body language is the way we communicate with our bodies without using words. Body language can include facial expressions, arm movements, hand gestures, and even the direction we face when speaking or listening. You can find more information about interpreting body language here.
Do not embarrass the students by staring.
Every person is different, and there is no universal body language.
A good teacher must be an entertainer as well, especially if the subject matter being taught is fairly dry. Never be afraid to make your students laugh.
Use what you already know about the student to help in your observations. For example, if they usually sit up straight but are currently slouching, they may be sleepy or bored or just had a really bad day.
If you see students are bored, switch things up every once in a while. You never know, they might show more interest if they see the fun side of class!

Jury Deliberates Beck Case
Posted: Jun 27, 2016 7:03 PM CDT
A jury is deliberating whether or not Dennis Brantner is guilty of killing Berit Beck back in 1990.
The jury deliberation started just after noon on Monday and we've received no indication whether or not they're at all close to reaching a decision.
The judge gave instructions that jurors should take as long as they'd like even breaking until tomorrow if necessary.
They'll also have access to evidence submitted in this case including video and audio clips of police interviews with Brantner.
This morning was also closing arguments for prosecutors and the defense team.
Attorney Craig Powell of the defense said he's not convinced by the narrative laid out by the district attorney. He went on to say if the fingerprints identified in the victim's vehicle really do match Brantner's that's not proof his client killed anyone.
Stay tuned to CBS 58 for an update on this case.

Gov. Polis signs Democrats' sweeping oil and gas bill into law, marking major shift in regulatory authority over drilling
Senate Bill 181 faced immense industry and Republican pushback as it cleared the Colorado legislature. Now begins a rulemaking process stemming from the measure that will mean further impacts on the industry.

Gov. Jared Polis on Tuesday signed into law a sweeping oil and gas regulation bill that faced stiff opposition from Republicans and the industry as it made its way through the Colorado legislature.
"Today, with the signing of this bill, it is our hope that the oil and gas wars that have enveloped our state are over," Polis said before signing Senate Bill 181 in his Capitol office. "Let me be clear: This bill gives the industry and residents certainty and comfort and Colorado will be the better for it."
He was flanked by activists and lawmakers who pushed for the legislation. Notably, several members of the oil and gas industry were also present for the bill signing, including representatives from Extraction Oil & Gas, Evergreen Natural Resources and SRC Energy.
The new law is a major shift in regulatory authority over drilling in Colorado, directing state officials to focus primarily on health and safety when approving new oil and gas permits. Before, regulators were mandated to foster development of the $32 billion industry.
Local governments will also have significantly more power to decide where drilling can happen.

"This bill is good for Colorado," Polis said. "This bill is good for the energy industry. This bill is good for workers. This bill is good for the environment. This bill is good for residents who live in oil and gas areas."
The bill's signing is a punctuation mark on the multi-year battle between the oil and gas industry and advocates that reached a high point last year with the failure of a ballot measure seeking to increase the setback of drilling sites from development to 2,500 feet.
However, increased industry regulation was a given when Democrats regained control of state government in November's elections.
"While (the law) does not address all of the concerns and threats associated with industrial fracking activity, it is a desperately needed tipping back of enormously unbalanced scales in favor of people and environment," Anne Lee Foster, a spokeswoman for Colorado Rising, the activist group behind the attempted setback increase, said in a written statement.
Foster called the legislation, "the most substantial shift we have seen in decades and puts communities on much better footing when confronted with industrial oil and gas in their backyards."
Oil and gas operators have warned that Senate Bill 181 will cost Coloradans jobs and potentially send the state into a recession, but they did win a number of concessions before it was finalized by state lawmakers.
Those included provisions to prevent overly restrictive setbacks, delays or de facto bans on the industry, and a mandate that the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission be remade with full-time members appointed by the governor.
The Colorado Petroleum Council said Tuesday that it was thankful Democrats heard their concerns and worked with them. "While Senate Bill 181 remains deeply flawed, Gov. Polis and state officials have pledged to work with industry to create a reasonable regulatory framework that works for all Coloradans, and we are committed to that process," spokesman Ben Marter said in a written statement.
In all, there were 33 amendments made to the bill during some 30 hours of debate before it passed.

"It's hard to recall a bill that's had that much debate, that much discussion, that much amending along the way," said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat and one of the bill's prime sponsors.
House Speaker KC Becker, a fellow Boulder Democrat and lead sponsor of the measure, said the legislation offers solid ground for oil and gas operators and for people who live near drilling.
"It gives the industry a reasonable and responsible path forward," she said. "This is a path forward for all of us."
Still, Polis noted that conflicts are inevitable.
"Even with this bill passing, there will no doubt be skirmishes around particular projects in particular areas," he said.

Now that Senate Bill 181 is law, state regulators will also have to begin a rulemaking process to meet the mandates of the measure. That will mean more industry impacts, although the Polis' administration has vowed to move quickly to avoid a burdensome process for operators.
"I'm trying to provide a sense of certainty and predictability for industry," Jeff Robbins, who leads the COGCC, told The Sun earlier this month.
Also at the bill signing Tuesday was Erin Martinez, whose brother, Joey, and husband, Mark, were killed when her home in Firestone exploded on April 17, 2017, because of a severed flow line from a nearby gas well. She was one of the main voices pushing for the new regulations.

Martinez attended the bill signing with her son, Nathan, and daughter, Jaelynn. She has said her activism around the legislation is to make sure no other family goes through what hers did.
"We're just overwhelmed right now," Erin Martinez said. "It feels like it's a great way to honor Mark and Joey. The two-year anniversary is tomorrow so it's really fitting that we got this done before that came."

No Republican voted for the measure as it made its way through the Colorado legislature. A few Democrats in the House from vulnerable districts also voted "no" on the bill.
Political fallout for Democrats from the bill is likely to continue. State Rep. Rochelle Galindo of oil-and-gas-heavy Weld County is facing a recall effort in response to her vote in favor of the legislation.

At the beginning of February, around 50 preschool teachers participated, in Sibiu, in OvidiuRo's annual meeting. This 3-days national meeting aimed to bring together all the teachers around the country who volunteered to bring quality early education closer to children, and teachers in poor rural and urban kindergartens.
– Learnings from the 2018 projects.
In 2019, OvidiuRo will continue to work closely with local authorities and preschool teachers all over the country, by organising local teacher trainings and providing quality educational materials to be used in rural kindergartens. Our objective is to raise the quality of early education throughout Romania's most disadvantaged communities by implementing A Story for Every Child pilot program, that aims to improve children's vocabulary by enhancing the kindergarten and home literacy environment in rural communities.


An intense opening day at Graphene Week was followed by two days that revealed the full potential of graphene, both for applications and for new science. Graphenea participation is still very immersive, in line with the company's pivotal role in the Graphene Flagship.
Both days' morning plenary sessions highlighted fascinating new developments, revealing that new applications of graphene will keep emerging through scientific breakthroughs, and also illustrating that progress of work towards integrating graphene in industrial developments is clearly on the right track. Strong correlations, phase transitions, spin manipulation and other exotic-sounding physics effects were shown to have potential real-world applications in quantum (and classical) computing, sensing, and hardware memory. The progress of graphene for flexible electronics, selective gas permeation, and automotive use is also fascinating. Recordings of some of the plenary talks are available on the Graphene Flagship Youtube channel.
After lunch, which showcases the full palate of Basque culinary art, there were fringe sessions on success stories of Flagship partnering projects and publishing graphene research. It's good to see new partners aligning with the Flagship goals and an increasing number of scientific journals that cover graphene. These are good news for the community, as it is obvious that graphene is here to stay as it integrates across a diverse portfolio of industries.
The workshop on graphene for human space exploration ended on Tuesday and was followed by a session on women in graphene. Graphenea's Alba Centeno participated with a talk on switching career from academia to industry, a very relevant topic in today's knowledge-based economy. The graphene innovation forum focused on standardization and commercialization. Graphenea is very keen on both these topics, as we envisage standardization of graphene materials as the only path to applying graphene on an industrial scale. Our Alba Centeno and Iñigo Charola gave talks at the commercialization session on topics of graphene wafer scale integration and high-quality CVD graphene FETs. Aside from the talks, our work was featured on many posters and highlighted in talks given by our collaborators and customers.
Photo: Jesus de la Fuente and Amaia Zurutuza greet visitors on a tour of Graphenea.
We also hosted two groups of visitors that toured nanoGune and Graphenea as part of the conference social program. The visitors had the chance to meet our management team at our headquarters, where they could see up close the research and fabrication facilities for both our product lines: CVD graphene and graphene oxide.
Photo: Iñigo Charola displays wafer-scale CVD graphene to visitors.
Finally, Graphenea made this conference special by giving away dinner for two at a restaurant that has three Michelin stars. Graphene Week participants had a chance to fill out an online ballot during the first two days of the conference and on Wednesday morning we drew the name of the lucky recipient. The winner is Florian Ludwig of Goethe University Frankfurt! We hope you enjoy your experience at Arzak!

Fiji Rugby Chairman Resigns Over Homophobic Comments
Gay Nation Team
Francis Kean
Fiji Rugby Union chairman Francis Kean has stepped down from the World Rugby Council and withdrawn his nomination for the body's Executive Committee after allegations of discrimination were published by The Sunday Times.
In a statement, the World Rugby Council notes the decision by Fiji Rugby to stand down Fiji Rugby Union Chairman Ratu Vilikesa Bulewa Francis Kean from the World Rugby Council.
"World Rugby takes all allegations of behaviour that is not in keeping with the sport's strong and inclusive values and bye-laws extremely seriously.
"While it is important to stress that any allegations must be validated, following dialogue with World Rugby, the Fiji Rugby Union recognises the seriousness of the allegations made and the need for them to be fully investigated, and that it is in the best interests of the sport that Mr Kean steps down from the Council and his Executive Committee candidature be withdrawn."
Fiji's union said it was in the "best interests of the sport" that Kean stepped down until the allegations were validated and confirmed its CEO John O'Connor would take his place on the Council.
Kean has been accused of rampant homophobia when he was in charge of Prisons in Fiji in 2016. The Sunday Times heard a graphic recording of him when he was in charge of the prison service.
As part of a tirade full of violent and homophobic language, he is heard ranting to prison officials that they assault a third and younger official he accuses of not measuring up. The recording was made by the officials, who then fled to Australia for safety.
"We are not breeding poofters and weaklings here," Kean says. He said of younger trainees: "We must f*** them up."
He is also heard encouraging his men to assault one particular emerging officer: "Take him out one day for some beers, and while he is drunk beat the crap out of the mother******."
Kean is the brother-in-law of Frank Bainimarama, who came to power as prime minister after a coup in 2006 but has since been elected, most recently in 2018. At the reception after the wedding of Bainimarama's daughter in 2006, Kean, who was the uncle of the bride, was involved in a violent altercation with the uncle of the groom, John Whippy, who was badly beaten and was dead on arrival at hospital.
One Amnesty report states that before his trial, Kean tried and failed to have the judge removed because he had opposed the military coup, which Kean helped to stage as head of the Navy.

Q: Parallel computation with Dask and Xarray I have the following function
@dask.delayed
def load_ds(p):
    import xarray as xr
    multi_file_dataset = xr.open_mfdataset(p, combine='by_coords', concat_dim="time", parallel=True)
    mean = multi_file_dataset['tas'].mean(dim='time')
    return mean

which opens a set of NetCDF files (identified by path p) and calculates the mean value over time.
I'm trying to run in parallel the function over two differents paths (= datasets):
results = []
result1 = dask.delayed(load_ds)(path1)
results.append(result1)
result2 = dask.delayed(load_ds)(path2)
results.append(result2)

results = dask.compute(*results)

I've also tried
results = []
result1 = dask.delayed(load_ds)(path1)
results.append(result1)
result2 = dask.delayed(load_ds)(path2)
results.append(result2)

futures = dask.persist(*results)
results = dask.compute(*futures)

But, I noticed that the execution actually starts when I try to retrieve the results:
 print(results[0].values)

And again, when I retrieve the second one
 print(results[1].values)

What's wrong? Is there a way to retrieve the results object just once?

A: Given what you have done so far, what about:
delayed_task = dask.delayed(
    lambda L: (L[0].values, L[1].values)
)(results)

And "later",
tup = delayed_task.compute()

/By Jennifer Dwyer/ In the fall of 2013, Walmart shocked my community with their plans to construct a 24-Hour Supercenter at Duvall Village, a tiny, neighborhood-serving shopping plaza at the intersection of 450 and Glen Dale Rd, only 100 feet from the closest homes. We were totally dismayed. It seemed so obviously, mind-bogglingly inappropriate to us that Walmart would target our peaceful neighborhood for a store of that magnitude—not to mention that our county officials would entertain that plan for even a second.
Our main concern was our safety. Each Walmart store, on average, is the site of 269 criminal incidents per year (or one every 32 ½ hours,) including serious violent crimes, and Walmart had flat-out refused to hire parking lot security or at the very least build a fence separating their mega-store from the closest homes. We were also concerned about a number of environmental factors—additional traffic in an already congested area, a faulty storm water management plan that threatened to flood adjacent properties, shopping carts and litter in our yards, lights and noise filtering into our homes 24/7. Many of us had bought our homes just before the housing bubble burst and were still feeling the effects. The thought of our property values taking yet another hit from a 24-Hour Super Walmart was, sadly, enough to push a few of my neighbors to put their houses on the market and move on.
The economic damage that Walmart causes to surrounding communities is well-documented. For every two people Walmart hires, three others lose their jobs when their employers are forced to reduce their workforces to complete with Walmart or shut down entirely. Walmart touted the 300 jobs they would create for our community, saying, to our astonishment, how convenient it would be for us to be able to walk to work! Per Walmart's own figures, 50% of their employees make $25,000 a year or less, and many are not eligible for benefits. Can anyone in Prince George's County support themselves or a family on so little?
Because Walmart refuses to pay a living wage, their employees often have no choice but to seek social services, which costs taxpayers millions — an average Super Walmart in Maryland costs taxpayers an estimated $1.3 million annually. We certainly couldn't afford to work at Walmart, and we felt that our county tax dollars could be put to better use than making America's wealthiest family even richer.
For the next two and a half years, members of my community spoke out at six public hearings, protested at the proposed Walmart site and outside the County Administration Building, circulated a petition (eventually garnering close to 1,000 signatures,) held numerous public meetings to spread the word to the thousands of residents who would be affected, sent letters and made phone calls to our Planning Board and every elected official we could think of to demand better for our community… and ultimately, we prevailed!
On September 21st 2015, our County Council, sitting in their land-use capacity as the District Council, voted unanimously to deny Walmart's application to build at Duvall Village. We were over the moon! Not only had we protected our community from a serious threat to our peace and wellbeing, but we had also proven that our voices do matter! Given our county's troubled past, so many of our neighbors had given up hope that we could fight for the changes we wanted to see and win, especially when our opposition had essentially unlimited money to fight back with.
Our victory at Duvall Village showed Prince George's residents that, even when we're fighting the richest corporation in the world, if enough of us stand together and demand that our elected officials do right by us, our voices are more powerful than even the biggest corporate checkbook.
If we could beat Walmart, we could do anything!
However, one month later, despite being told directly by our County Council that their store would pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of residents and workers, Walmart chose to appeal the Council's decision to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County and continue to try to force their way into my community. Walmart's decision to appeal in spite of the County Council's unanimous vote demonstrates what residents have been saying all along—Walmart has no respect for us, our government, or Prince George's County as a whole.
My community deserves a better neighbor than a 24-Hour Super Walmart. Taxpayers deserve better than to see their hard-earned dollars squandered on feeding the Waltons' greed. Local businesses deserve to thrive in our county. Workers deserve an employer who will treat them with respect.
Duvall Village and Prince George's County deserve better than Walmart.
The Circuit Court for Prince George's County hears the case Friday, April 22nd, 9 a.m. at the courthouse on Main Street in Upper Marlboro (20772).

Q1:We have three units in our scheme. I used to own two and have just sold one. The chairman and secretary own one and I am the managing agent. We are having a meeting to discuss the budget next week. Surely the new owner should be entitled to attend this meeting? Even though she is not a trustee.
A1: All owners are entitled to attend both meetings of owners and meetings of the trustees. So yes, the new owner is entitled to attend the meeting and s/he should have received adequate notice of this meeting in accordance with the rules of the scheme. I assume the meeting you are having next week is the AGM as this is the meeting at which the budget must be approved by the owners and a host of other compulsory business must be done in terms of prescribed management rule 56.
As your scheme is so small I would suggest that you try to bring the new owner onto the board of trustees so that all three owners are consulted before communal decisions are made.
Q2: I am a trustee in a scheme of 18 units. One of the top units has exclusive use of the roof above his unit and wishes to install a pool. The trustees and a majority of the owners are opposed and he has called for arbitration. Are there any precedents for this and how would you advise us to proceed?
A2: In terms of prescribed management rule 68(1)(vi) an owner may not place any structure or building improvement on his exclusive use area without the prior written consent of the trustees, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
You and the rest of the trustees are obliged to thoroughly consider this owner's application to install a pool in his exclusive use area and are entitled to accept or reject his application provided you have based your decision on justifiable reasons. You must ensure that you and the other trustees 'apply your minds' to the matter in a meeting of trustees and make sure that the reasons for your decision are recorded in the minutes of the meeting as well as in a written response to the owner informing him of your decision.
I can understand why you and the majority of owners are opposed to this application as installing a pool on a roof can potentially cause leaks into the building in the future. If you and the rest of the trustees do decide to grant this owner permission to install the pool then I suggest that stringent conditions are attached to your consent for example making the owner liable for any resultant damage that may be caused from the installation of the pool and from the pool itself, and transferring all of the operational and financial maintenance and repair obligations in respect of the exclusive use area onto the owner.
If you and the rest of the trustees choose not to consent to the owner's application and he chooses to institute arbitration proceeding against you – you can't stop him from taking you to arbitration. However, don't worry too much about threats of arbitration, they are often empty threats. If you receive a formal notice of dispute then you and the rest of the trustees can decide to instruct an attorney who is well versed in sectional title to assist you. If this occurs and you have adequately applied your minds to the matter, thoroughly considered the owner's application and recorded your decision and the reasons for it in the minutes of a meeting – you will have to rely on this to persuade the arbitrator that you acted reasonably in withholding your consent.
Q3: Hi. I read the article on "Liable for special levy" and have a related question. The special levy was raised while I was the owner. The amount was to be paid to the body corporate over twelve months. If 6 months later my property was transferred to a purchaser, am I as original owner still liable for the last 6 months of special levy payments?
A3: According to the Sectional Titles Act, 1986 levies are due and payable on the passing of a resolution to that effect by the trustees of the body corporate and may be recovered from the persons who were owners of units at the time when the resolution making the levies due and payable was passed. This means that the person who owned the unit when the levy became due and payable is the only person from whom the body corporate may legally recover the levy. Therefore you, as the owner at the time the special levy was raised, are liable for all the installments payable in this regard.
You could however assign your levy liability obligations to the purchaser with effect from the date of transfer. Strictly speaking, you and the purchaser are not able to conclude such an agreement on your own. The body corporate must accept the benefits of such an agreement, releasing you from your statutory obligation and acquiring a contractual right to recover the outstanding levies from the purchaser. This can be achieved by way of a "tripartite agreement" entered into by you, the purchaser and body corporate.

Marsalforn (Bus No: 306, 310, 322) is one of Gozo's main tourist resorts. During the months of summer it bursts to life as many Gozitans and Maltese spend the season in their summer houses there or flock for the day where, after relaxing by the sea, they enjoy the balmy evenings walking along the promenade and dining under the stars at one of the many harbour-side restaurants.
Marsalforn in winter, Marsalforn returns to its quiet origins as a fishermen's village. However, hotels and restaurants continue operating.
There is a small but pleasant sandy bank on the harbour with safe bathing and good rocky coastline towards Qbajjar which is excellent for snorkeling.

Video Shows Insane Tanker Fire That Led to Two Houston Pilots Being Awarded the IMO Bravery at Sea Award

On the morning of September 6, 2016, Houston harbor pilots Michael McGee and Michael Phillips found themselves surrounded by towering walls of flames after the tanker they were piloting, the MT Aframax River, lost propulsion and struck two mooring dolphins on the Houston Ship Channel.
The allision punctured the tankers hull plating, causing the release of about 88,000 gallons of low-sulfur marine gas oil which suddenly ignited in a massive fire ball.
Despite the danger, the pilots remained on the bridge and managed to maneuver the vessel away from facilities and other ships in the area while coordinating with first responders. Amazingly, they sustained only minor burns, the only injuries resulting from the fire.
For their efforts, Captain McGee and Phillips were awarded the International Maritime Organization's Bravery at Sea Award, the IMO's highest honor for bravery at sea, in recognition of their role in preventing a major disaster on one the nation's busiest commercial waterways.
While details of the accident have since been chronicled in a NTSB Marine Accident Brief and as well as other recounts of the event, a new video posted online last week gives us the best look yet at what exactly what the pilots, crew members, and responding tugboats were faced with that night.
The video was recorded by a security at the Intercontinental Terminals Company facitility where the tanker was mooring Check it out:
More on the incident as described by the International Maritime Organization:
Captain McGee and Captain Phillips were surrounded by a towering wall of burning fuel as the raging fire quickly spread across the channel, threatening other tank ships and nearby waterfront facilities.
Both pilots remained at their stations on the bridge of the ship during the fire. Captain McGee managed to manoeuvre the stricken and blazing vessel away from surrounding ships and facilities.
Captain Phillips coordinated communications and firefighting efforts with the United States Coast Guard and numerous local fireboats. Captain Phillips rushed to grab a fire extinguisher and put out a fire raging on the port bridge wing.
The inferno was finally extinguished after 90 minutes, leaving both pilots exhausted and suffering minor burns. Captain McGee, using tugs, was then able to bring the damaged tanker safely to a mooring facility.

Due to the fact that Xiaomi brand devices are officially unavailable in Poland (except for telephones and cameras), I order directly in Asia. A few months ago I came across a service Giving Assistant. Which offers so-called cashback. The service is that you buy a product in one of the populated online stores, and the service offers a refund of some of the costs incurred. The percentage of return depends on the given store.
I managed to accumulate 148,33 $, because it cost me just a few seconds with every purchase. You think it's worth it. I highly recommend this service. I never had a problem that I did not make a purchase. Cashback is independent of the promotions in stores, it is always charged for purchases.

Where apathy reigns, tyranny rules — "The greatest threat to liberty is a progressive in government"
Choice 2016
American Rewind
Friday Follies
Of the Day
The tagline pretty much says it all.
Never before in the history of this nation have so many been so apathetic about the freedoms and liberties bestowed upon them today by the blood and sacrifice of those before them.
Far too many today think of "tyranny" as being something only wielded by Kings and Queens of old or dictators in far away lands.
Yet tyranny comes in many forms, not the least of which is a central government that places its wants, its needs above the rights and liberties of the common citizen.
The meme of the legacy print media, the broadcast networks and the professional political class is that the Tea Party and anyone who dare associate with such is so "far right", "extreme", and "radical" they must be ridiculed, viled, and slandered at every opportunity else a modern American apocalypse is imminent.
And at this moment in history with pop culture being what it is, an educational system promoting ignorance over achievement, and economic conditions at their worst since the Great Depression, the number of minds susceptible to such propaganda has never been larger.
But who represents the true "radical", "extreme" "un-American" position?
The group that is fighting to revitalize the Constitution, raise awareness of the founding principles that birthed that Constitution, and protect the rights and liberties bestowed therein or a minority ruling establishment that desires only the continuance of its power and influence at all cost?
If you're of the former, WELCOME. You'll find yourself right at home here.
If you're of the latter, welcome as well. Yes, you're going to feel a little uncomfortable at first, but give it some time.
You might just find out that you like tea more than you thought.

Sterling and Sharpton we can survive; It's the 'educators' that are the real danger.
By Geoff Caldwell
http://ponderingprinciples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/
This week's column could have been about the Donald Sterling's and Cliven Bundy's of the world, old white men saying things that the first time you hear them leaves only a gasp.
But then I'd have had to mention the double standard of Joe Biden and Harry Reid being given passes for their own skin color and word articulation comments about Barack Obama. (Rule number one: if you're an aging white male making insulting comments about African Americans, make sure you're a powerful politician who can push through the agenda if you want to be excused for your behavior.)
And then I'd have to bring in the hypocrisy of hypocrisies regarding the fact that until 80 year old Stern's conversation with his half century younger girlfriend went public, the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP was going to give him his second life time achievement award in the past five years. (Rule number two: if you're an aging white male harboring racist thoughts, make sure you're a rich old white male who can write big checks to liberal groups and buy the awards you could never win on merit.)
And to make matters worse, if this column was going to delve into the Sterling cesspool I would also have to point out that scheduled to share the stage with Sterling at that NAACP ceremony was none other than the "reverend" Al Sharpton. The same Al Sharpton of the Tawana Brawley fraud, the Crown Heights Riot, the Freddie's Fashion Mart fire that left seven store employees dead and a list of incitements, tax indictments, and failure to pay debts lawsuits longer than a listing of Barack Obama's foreign policy failures.
The same Al Sharpton who now is "totally outraged" over Donald Sterling but conveniently ignored the publicly documented overtly racist behavior by him for years.
And then there's the whole conundrum of Sterling getting a "second" life time achievement award. Did he die and come back to life and only the NAACP knows about it? We know by the public record it buys you selective blindness while the checks are being cashed, but who knew reincarnation was included in the package?
Nope, no way was I taking the column this week into that house of horrors.
Thankfully, Harley Avenue Primary School interim Principal Ellen Best-Laimit, Ed. D and four kindergarten teachers provided the real story of the week when they wrote a letter defending their "yes, Virginia, even highly educated educators can act like complete idiots" decision to cancel the school's annual year end kindergarten play.
"We hope this letter serves to help you better understand how the demands of the 21st century are changing schools, and, more specifically, to clarify, misperceptions about the Kindergarten show." …."The reason for eliminating the Kindergarten show is simple. We are responsible for preparing children for college and career with valuable lifelong skills and know that we can best do that by having them become strong readers, writers, coworkers and problem solvers. Please do not fault us for making professional decisions that we know will never be able to please everyone. But know that we are making these decisions with the interests of all children in mind."
America can survive bigoted old white guys and hypocritical race hustlers but how we survive the thought process illustrated in the Harley Avenue letter is beyond me.
Kids cannot grow up to be responsible adults if they're never allowed to be kids in the first place.
Even highly educated educators should be able to figure that one out.

Q: Is there an easy example of a module which is not projective Is there an easy example of a module which is not projective?
I found that direct product of $\mathbb Z$ is not projective but its proof is complicated.
Are there any easy examples for this?

A: $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}$.

A: Since $\Bbb Z$ is a PID and projective modules over PIDs are free, it is clear that every finite abelian group is not projective.
But in fact, you can just use the definition to prove that $\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z$ is not projective as $\Bbb Z$-module: consider the quotient map
$$
\pi:\Bbb Z/4\Bbb Z\longrightarrow\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z.
$$
It is easy to check that there is no map $f:\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z\rightarrow\Bbb Z/4\Bbb Z$ such that $\pi\circ f=1_{\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z}$.

A: Any projective module over a PID (e.g., $\mathbb{Z}$) must be free.


The Dominican Association of Secondary Schools was formally founded in 2002. Its mission is to nurture and sustain the legacy of Dominican Catholic secondary education in the United States. Through the years DASS has nurtured leaders in the tradition of preaching, prayer, study and community and has fostered collaboration with others in carrying out the preaching mission. In the early days, most administrators were vowed Dominican religious men and women. Today, there is a greater need for DASS to offer resources about the Dominican charism and for mission integration as our lay colleagues step forward to embrace leadership in Dominican schools. Equally important is a growing need to support efforts of religious congregations in seeking new and effective sponsorship models and in maintaining strong relationships with their schools. All secondary schools within the Dominican tradition are welcomed and encouraged to participate in DASS and to benefit from the resources provided.
