Clark State Community College will celebrate 50 years of the Basic Peace Officer Training Academy with an anniversary reception on August 1, 2019.
Clark State will recognize this year's graduating class and honor alumni from previous years. The Basic Peace Officer Academy is certified and authorized by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTC).
Clark State Police Academy alumnus Lee Graf was appointed chief of police of the Springfield Police Division on December 1, 2017. He was hired as a Springfield police officer in 1996. He also holds a BA in political science/prelaw from Wright State University.
"The Clark State Police Academy provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to start my career as a law enforcement officer in the state of Ohio," said Graf. "My classes prepared me to take and pass the examinations and skills tests required to attain my peace officer certification."
Graf said many of his instructors were current or retired law enforcement officers from the Springfield and Clark County area. "This was very inspirational, and it also helped me to immerse myself in the Springfield community and its culture," he said.
As an instructor in the Clark State Police Academy for the past 16 years, Graf said he knows the quality of the training program at Clark State. "Police Academy Commander Paul Weber and his staff are committed to their academy students and will do everything they can to ensure the success of their charges."
Clark State's state-of-the-art police academy training facility features a subject control/physical fitness center. A new practical training room is used for practical (hands-on) training for domestic violence, crime scene, DUI enforcement training and Milo System training (weapons scenario-based system to train officers in the use of force).
The Clark State Police Academy entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Springfield Police Division (SPD) in the spring of 2018. It established a joint mission to better train future candidates of the Springfield Police Division, Criminal Justice students and current police officers. The cooperative effort aims to give the Springfield community the most current training for police officers and provide excellent training opportunities to students.
"Back in 1969, when Clark State was called Clark County Technical Institute, the college opened its first Police Academy class – that class was full of newly hired Springfield police officers seeking their certification as Ohio peace officers," said Graf. "Fifty years later that tradition continues."
The 50th Anniversary Reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, August 1 in the Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center in downtown Springfield, Ohio. The graduation ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the adjacent Clark State Performing Arts Center.
All Clark State Police Academy graduates are encouraged to join in the 50th Anniversary celebration. There is no cost to attend.

Owner shares true meaning of good at Do Good Goods
Suzi McKee • Feb 18, 2019 at 4:30 PM
When Lori Jones was a young girl growing up in Hiltons, Virginia, her parents set the example of having a servant heart by helping in their community. Along with strong faith, Lori developed a sense of responsibility for making her little corner of the world better than she had found it. This 29-year employee of Eastman began feeling the need to undertake a project that was much greater than herself in the fall of 2017. "I had always heard people say that they were 'called' to do something and now I fully understand exactly what they mean," Lori explained.
In her daily devotions the word good kept appearing, especially in Psalms 37:3 which says, "Trust in the Lord and do good." Lori's parents had taught her to be good to others and always strive to do the right thing. "In my small way, I wanted to remind people of that and provide a way for them to do more for others around them," she continued.
So, armed with a determined attitude, a caring heart and the knowledge that God was really in control, Lori began to pursue her dream of opening a store where good would come from the items for sale – items that had once meant the world to their owners.
"Helping people let go of their things or those of someone dear to them who may have passed is part of my mission," Lori began. "I treat every item with dignity and respect and assure consignors that I'll try to get it in the hands of someone who will take good care of it." A portion of every sale – between 10 and 60 percent - goes to the consignor's designated charity.
With much prayer and miracles at every turn, Lori found everything she needed to open Do Good Goods. "One of my friends came by just to see me," Lori explained, "just as I got off the phone with someone who could make the sign for the store front. She talked for a few minutes and then went to her car to get an envelope for me; instead she found two. She explained that she knew she was supposed to give the contents to me. The next day when I was told the cost of my store sign, I was amazed that it was exactly the same amount contained in the two envelopes," she concluded with a smile and a tear.
Do Good Goods opened on March 30, 2018, on Good Friday, at 935 Wilcox Court in Kingsport. The journey Lori took to arrive at opening day is remarkable and is a testimony of what one can do if you hold fast to your faith and believe that you can achieve your goals with God's help. "I found truck drivers to haul furniture for my displays, store owners who helped with fixtures on which I could place merchandise, and a willingness of almost everyone that I came in contact with to help get the store up and running."
"God reassured me when I was stressed or worried by giving me the peace that it was Him and not me and that He had this," Lori continued. She learned that her job was to help remind people that goodness always wins and to use her faith to comfort those who come to Do Good Goods to shop or donate. "This is not a normal place," Lori added. "We pray for people in the shop and we have those who stop by just to pray for us as well. At every turn I have felt the Lord's hand in this business."
From a gorgeous hand-made wedding dress from Guam to fine china to elegant jewelry, furniture, artwork, home décor, shoes and purses, Lori offers clients upscale merchandise that has a story behind it.
"I received a call from a gentleman who had been a fighter pilot in Viet Nam. His wife had passed away and he wanted me to come and find a new home for her things. She'd been in the Navy and was stationed in Guam. When they got married, she wore this exquisite handmade wedding gown with exceptional craftsmanship," explained Lori. That is one of many unique items found at Do Good Goods.
She has new items for sale and other consigned items that sometimes remind people of their childhood. "I had one lady who came in and said she had had her grandmother on her mind all week. When she found marble eggs just like her grandmother once owned, the lady said, "I have to have these."
Do Good Goods is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., weekdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, Saturdays, and after hours by appointment for people who enjoy finding treasures together. "For the appointments, we have light refreshments and allow customers to shop at their leisure," Lori explained. "It's fun to watch faces light up as they find things that fit them perfectly or discover items that are just what they were looking for.
Lori's advice for others? "If you feel stirred to do something and you honestly think it's your dream according to God's will, pursue the idea. I've thought many times that if God let me hover over this store and see all the miracles that I've seen and all that has happened, I could have easily missed them if I hadn't stepped out in faith."
Anyone wishing to be a part of something good, should call Do Good Goods to make an appointment before bringing merchandise to consign. Call (423) 378-GOOD. Inquiries about the store can also be sent to [email protected]

Der Deutsche Kunstverlag (DKV) ist ein deutscher Kunstbuchverlag mit Sitz in Berlin und München. Seine Schwerpunkte sind Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte, Architektur und Denkmalpflege.

Geschichte
Die Gründung erfolgte am 1. Juli 1921 in Berlin auf Anregung des preußischen Kultusministeriums von einer Reihe renommierter Gesellschafter aus dem deutschen Verlagswesen, den Verlagen Insel, E. A. Seemann, Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, Julius Hoffmann Verlag, G. Grote, Julius Bard und Walter de Gruyter sowie dem Bankhaus Delbrück-Schickler & Co. Zweck des Verlages war es, die reichen Bestände der in "Staatliche Bildstelle Berlin" umbenannten ehemaligen Preußischen Messbild-Anstalt zu verwalten und zu vermarkten. Der Sitz des Verlages befand sich in der Wilhelmstraße 69, im Haus des Kultusministeriums. Erste Geschäftsführer wurden Burkhard Meier (1885–1946) und Gerhardt Lüdtke. Zum Verlag gehörte auch die Buch- und Kunsthandlung "Buch und Kunst", die im selben Gebäude untergebracht war.

1924 übernahm der Verlag Walter de Gruyter sämtliche Anteile des Verlages, der Sitz wurde zum 1. Oktober 1934 in die Genthiner Straße 13, den Sitz des Verlages de Gruyter, verlegt. 1939 trennte sich de Gruyter vom Deutschen Kunstverlag, der in den Besitz von Burkhard Meier und seiner Frau Ellen, einer Tochter Walter de Gruyters, überging. Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges gingen die gesamten Bestände des Verlages unter. Meier erhielt am 3. Oktober 1945 eine amerikanische Verlagslizenz, starb jedoch kurz darauf. Ernst Hermann (1898–1984), Mitarbeiter des Verlages seit 1925, übernahm die Verlagsleitung und erhielt am 25. Mai 1946 eine amerikanische Lizenz. 1948 wurde der Verlag in eine GmbH mit Sitz in München und Berlin umgewandelt, Gesellschafter wurden Ellen Burkhard-Meier und Ernst Hermann. Der Sitz des Verlages befand sich in München in der Kurfürstenstraße 7/IV, ab 1949 in der Arcisstraße 10; ab 1950 Rondell Neuwittelsbach 8. 1960 trat der Sohn Michael Meier (1925–2015) in den Verlag ein, dieser wurde 1961 Geschäftsführer, 1971 Gesellschafter. 1964 wurde der Sitz des Verlages in die Vohburger Straße 1 verlegt. 1991 wurde der Verlag an den Hirmer Verlag verkauft.

In den 1990er Jahren und zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts kam der Verlag in häufig wechselnde Eigentumsverhältnisse. Zu Beginn des Jahres 2007 erwarb Gabriele Miller den Deutschen Kunstverlag als alleinige Gesellschafterin. Der Hauptsitz des Verlags wurde wieder nach Berlin verlegt. Im Oktober 2010 übernahm die Tochter der Hauptgesellschafterin, Stephanie Ecker, die kaufmännische Geschäftsführung des Verlags. Im Januar 2011 wurde sie gemeinsam mit Gabriela Wachter, Inhaberin des Parthas Verlags, geschäftsführende Mitgesellschafterin der Deutschen Kunstverlag GmbH.

Seit 2018 befindet sich der Deutsche Kunstverlag als eigenständiger Verlag unter dem Dach des Wissenschaftsverlages De Gruyter. In den angestammten Programmbereichen verstärkt der Verlag seine Präsenz und schafft die Strukturen für digitales Publizieren. Im Dialog mit Herausgebern, Wissenschaftlern, Museen und Stiftungen werden innovative Konzepte entwickelt, die sowohl die gewohnte inhaltliche und gestalterische Qualität gewährleisten, als auch auf die aktuellen Ansprüche der Autoren und des Buchhandels abgestimmt sind.

Programm
In den 1920er Jahren erschienen erstmals einige der Buchreihen, die das Verlagsprofil bis heute bestimmen, andere sind im Laufe der Jahre hinzugekommen. Neben den wissenschaftlichen Publikationen sind es vor allem die Kunstbücher und Ausstellungskataloge, die das Programm des Verlages ausmachen.

Der Verlag ist seit seiner Gründung der Kunsttopographie verbunden. Wichtigste Reihe ist hier das Handbuch der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler, begründet von Georg Dehio, kurz Dehio genannt. Diese Buchreihe wird vom Verlag seit 1929 betreut.

Zu den bekanntesten Publikationen des Verlages zählen die Kunstführer. Von 1925 bis 1987 erschien die Reihe Deutsche Lande – Deutsche Kunst, von 1927 bis 1942 die Reihe Deutsche Dome. In der Reihe DKV-Kunstführer (begründet 1943 als Führer zu großen Baudenkmälern, seit 1945 Große Baudenkmäler, seit 1999 unter dem Titel DKV-Kunstführer) erscheinen Einzelpublikationen in broschierter Form, die hauptsächlich als Informationsmaterial an Ort und Stelle der Denkmäler erhältlich sind. Auch Museumsführer und Kunstpostkarten zu Museen, Sammlungen und Kunstdenkmälern gehören zum Programm des Verlages. Die 1925 begründete Reihe Deutsche Lande – Deutsche Kunst wurde 1987 eingestellt. Auch die 1958 begründete Reihe Bildhandbuch der Kunstdenkmäler, von der 49 Bände erschienen sind, wurde in den 1990er Jahren eingestellt. Die weitere Reihe DKV-Bildhandbuch kam über sechs in den Jahren 1988 bis 1992 veröffentlichte Bände nicht hinaus.

Q: PowerShell Module cannot be loaded when running Pester test in Visual Studio I have created a PowerShell test script, Common.tests.ps1, using Pester against some functions in a PowerShell script, Common.ps1, in the same directory.
There is a TestInitializer.ps1 script, also in the same directory, which uses the Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell module to create and get records in a Dynamics CRM instance.
When running the PowerShell test script from Visual Studio, the test fails in the Test Explorer with a message:

CommandNotFoundException: The module 'Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell'.

The same test when run from the PowerShell ISE, however, runs without issue. This would seem to be as if the module is not installed for the instance as run by Visual Studio (I confirmed this when running Get-Module -ListAvailable and seeing that the output did not include the Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell module for the Visual Studio test), though even explicit calls like Import-Module Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell -Global -Force don't seem to load the module during the script execution with Visual Studio.
Here's Common.test.ps1:
$here = (Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)
. $here\Common.ps1
. $here\TestInitializer.ps1

Describe "SelectionToSingleCharString" {
Context "StringTransforms" {
    It "Retrieves a CRM record and uses the optionset value to retrieve a single character" {
    SelectionToSingleCharString($crmRecord.new_type) | Should Be "I"
        }
    }
}

Snippet from TestInitializer.ps1:
# Whether or not this is uncommented does not matter
#Import-Module "$env:SystemRoot\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell\Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell.psd1" -Global -Force

#$modules = Get-Module -ListAvailable
#Write-Host $modules

# Failing here
Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell\Connect-CrmOnPremDiscovery -ServerUrl $loginServerUrl -OrganizationName $loginOrgName -Credential $cred

I may instead design the test to use Mock instead of actually attempting to create/read records, though not being able to load external modules and run in Visual Studio would be limiting.

A: Regarding module install directories (skip this if you are interested in the actual problem):
First you should never install modules to $PSHome\Modules (%Windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules). This folder is reserved for modules shipped with Windows only.
You should always install your modules used only by your user under the following path:
$Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

And for a system-wide installation under:
$Env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

Further reading regarding installing modules in PowerShell can be found on MSDN.
Regarding your actual problem:
What Visual Studio Version are you using? I have Visual Studio 2017 Community edition installed and can not reproduce your error. My PowerShell is also running as a 64-bit process.  Your PowerShell could be running as a 32-bit process. For the 32-bit PowerShell the module directories are different. This would explain why the module you installed isn't showing up in Visual Studio.
You can verify if your PowerShell is running in a 64-bit process with the following command:
PS> [Environment]::Is64BitProcess
True

To make your modules accessible for the 32-bit PowerShell you need to install them under the following path as well:
{$Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

Home /CPA Journal Content/An Interview with GRI CEO Tim Mohin
An Interview with GRI CEO Tim Mohin
By CPAJ Staff
July 2018 Issue |
Accounting is all about the numbers. But some items that are not easily tallied up in a financial statement are nonetheless essential to the day-to-day functions of a business. Increasingly the world wants answers to questions surrounding sustainability and environment, social, and governance (ESG) issues. More and more people want to know where their services/products are coming from, under what conditions, who is providing them, and what impact they are having on the world. Corporations are recognizing that answering these questions is not only important, but also essential to their long-term prospects.
"By setting a consistent, global framework, it helps companies know what questions to ask, what policies to have, what procedures, what management systems to actually manage these issues well."
Sustainability and ESG reporting have begun to fill this need, but an overabundance of standards—and a lack of uniformity—makes sifting through the reported information a difficult task. While CPAs can provide attestation services for this information—and some do—the profession as a whole has yet to adopt sustainability-related services in its portfolio. This may in part be because CPAs, like the companies and individuals they serve, find the volume and variety of sustainability information overwhelming.
Recently, the CPA Journal interviewed GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) CEO Tim Mohin to discuss the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards and discover why business owners, investors, and other stakeholders and corporations are increasingly finding the worth importance in of taking a closer look at the value of internal and external nonfinancial factors of their supply chains, resources, and employees.
"By setting a consistent, global framework for what companies should be looking for in the issues of intellectual property, corruption, ethics and any other of our standards, it helps companies know what questions to ask, what policies to have, what procedures, what management systems to actually manage these issues well," Mohin said during the interview.
In an effort to assist businesses and corporations with understanding their impact on critical sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights, governance, and social well-being, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was established to help businesses and governments worldwide understand and communicate their individual practices and procedures.
In October 2016, GRI launched the GRI Standards, which replace the earlier G4 standards and build upon the GRI's pioneering work in standards for sustainability reporting. These standards were set by the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB), which was separated from the GRI's Secretariat in 2014. The GRI Standards enable all organizations to report publicly on their economic, environmental, and social impacts—and show how they contribute towards sustainable development.
GRI versus SASB
GRI's roots are long and comprise many organizations—U.S. nonprofits, the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES), and the Tellus Institute, as well as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)—dating back to the 1970s. GRI helps businesses and governments worldwide understand and communicate their impact on critical sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights, governance, and social well-being. The GRI Standards are developed with multi-stakeholder contributions and rooted in the public interest.
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) was established in 2011 and is an independent, private-sector standards setting organization based in San Francisco, Calif., dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of the capital markets by fostering high-quality disclosure of material sustainability information that meets investor needs.

Worker suffers 3rd-degree burns in glass factory fire
OSHA determines Piramal Glass USA did not provide FR clothing
KEYWORDS flame resistant / occupational injury / OSHA citations / OSHA violations / workplace injury
A 34-year-old machine operator suffered third-degree burns on his legs and hands when molten glass bottles fell on the production floor and ignited oil residue that had leaked from the machines. The man had not been provided fire-retardant protective clothing, and the fire spread to his pant leg. He has been unable to return to work since the injury.
An OSHA inspection found that his employer, Park Hills-based Piramal Glass USA Inc., failed to follow its own and federal safety policies that could have prevented the July 11, 2015, injury. The company received one willful, one repeated and six serious safety violations from OSHA on Oct. 9. Proposed penalties total $122,000.
"A worker suffered excruciating injuries that could affect his health for years because Piramal Glass ignored company policy to require flame-resistant clothing for workers on the hot end of the bottle-making line," said Bill McDonald, OSHA's area director in St. Louis. "It's not enough for employers to have good policies on the books – they must abide by them. The company needs to develop and comply with a comprehensive policy on personal protective clothing."
Inspectors also found that Piramal Glass failed to train workers on health hazards for workplace chemicals, a violation OSHA cited at this same facility in March 2014.
The company also failed to do the following:
Keep floor clean of oil leaking from machines.
Train workers on personal protective equipment requirements.
Provide fire extinguisher training.
Develop safety procedures for employees' response to jammed bottles on the "hot" production line.
Ensure proper laundering of protective clothing.

For UConn, 2021 was anything but business as usual. The past two years have been, and the future looks to be, a challenge unlike any other in the history of college athletics, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Still, the Huskies made it through another cycle of seasons, reached some usual goals and entered a new era of improved facilities and welcomed a generational talent to campus.
As we head into 2022, that player, Paige Bueckers, is on crutches and recovering from knee surgery, expected to resume another stellar season in time for UConn to compete at the highest postseason level. Meanwhile, construction continues to reshape a portion of campus, with a new hockey arena being erected; the NIL era is taking hold; and and the football team, with Randy Edsall's second tenure having ended poorly, is looking to Jim Mora as the answer to years of struggles.
Here's a look back and a look ahead at some of the major storylines that began, or continued to develop, at UConn in 2021.
Managing the pandemic

Looking back: As 2020 became 2021, schools and programs managed to keep seasons together through advanced protocols and improved COVID-19 testing. UConn, like most schools, endured some disruptions, shut-downs and cancellations but completed its athletic seasons. Geno Auriemma contracted COVID just before the NCAA Tournament and watched from home as the Huskies defeated High Point and Syracuse in the first two rounds. Later in 2021, protocols were loosened with the introduction of vaccines. UConn's vaccination rate among student-athletes is 95 percent. Fans were welcomed back to the XL Center and Gampel Pavilion after a year away.
Looking ahead: The more contagious omicron variant has become the latest complication, having disrupted everyday life and the sports world. Professional leagues across the world — from the NHL to the English Premier League and beyond — have already canceled games or paused their seasons. College sports have been disrupted, too, with football bowl games looking for replacements and basketball teams having to forfeit games. UConn will follow any state mandates that, through Christmas, did not call for reduced capacity or proof of vaccination for fans attending games. The Huskies had their first sellout since before the pandemic for a men's basketball game Dec. 18 against Providence. Like anything in the pandemic, there is a great element of the unknown, and the situation and response could change at any time.
Bueckers becomes face of basketball

Looking back: Bueckers signed her UConn national letter of intent in November 2019, arrived in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic and swept every major award in early 2021. The Gatorade national high school athlete of the year was named college national player of the year as the Huskies reached a 13th consecutive Final Four. Bueckers averaged 20 points, 5.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds as a freshman, along the way becoming one of the most famous players in the nation — college or professional.
Looking ahead: Bueckers is starting 2022 in a rough spot, sidelined with a knee injury sustained Dec. 5 against Notre Dame. Surgery was performed Dec. 13 and her estimated recovery time is 6-8 weeks, meaning she is likely to return by early February. Bueckers leads UConn in scoring (21.2 points a game), assists (6.2), steals (2.7) and minutes (36.3) and she is second in rebounding (5.5). The Huskies are 1-2 without her, and three other key players are also sidelined (Azzi Fudd, Nika Muhl, Aubrey Griffin). Bueckers will continue as the face of women's college basketball and a leader on the name, image and likeness front.
Name, image and likeness era

Looking back: After years of debate, this movement took on new momentum in 2019, when California passed a law preventing schools from removing an athlete's scholarship if they profited off their name, image and likeness. On July 1, 2020, the NCAA enacted a policy allowing student-athletes to sign endorsement deals, hire agents and profit in ways previously banned. What followed, as an example: Bueckers trademarked "Paige Buckets" and signed major endorsement deals with Gatorade and StockX.
Looking ahead: The college sports world will continue adjusting to the new norm, where top players are offered lucrative deals, others are offered deals with far less visibility and money involved, and some student-athletes are offered nothing. In Bueckers and freshman Fudd, who has contracts with Chipotle and Steph Curry's SC30 Inc., UConn has two players at the forefront of these endeavors. What bears watching from here: how they handle additional responsibility, how it affects their place in the program even in subtle ways, and how it impacts recruiting. Coaches have nothing to do with NIL deals or circumstances, but it can't hurt a school like UConn to have in place examples for what can be accomplished on this new financial front.
Men's basketball returns to NCAA Tournament

Looking back: The 2020-21 season marked a return in many ways for the program — a return to the Big East, a return to the NCAA Tournament, a return to the draft lottery (James Bouknight), and a return to the national conversation. The Huskies finished 15-8 (11-6 Big East), losing their final two games — a conference tournament semifinal to Creighton and a first-round NCAA game to Maryland. So the ending to Dan Hurley's third season was less than desirable, but it was, overall, another step in the right direction. UConn hadn't appeared in the NCAA field since 2016.
Bainer resigns as Derby football coach after 2 years, five games
No. 25 UConn at Butler: What you need to know
Looking ahead: UConn returned every key player minus Bouknight this season and navigated its way through early-season injuries to Adama Sanogo and Tyrese Martin. They have both returned. The Huskies are deeper and more well-rounded than last season, when they were so reliant on Bouknight, and the program is in line to expect more from itself in seeding and performance on the national stage. Recruiting continues to be a success — Bristol Central 7-footer Donovan Clingan arrives next season — and the Huskies are seemingly well positioned to regularly contend for Big East championships.
Women's basketball returns to Final Four
Looking back: The Huskies rode Bueckers through the empty gyms of a pandemic to the usual destination, the Final Four, this time held in San Antonio. There, the Huskies (28-2) were upset by Arizona. It was UConn's fourth consecutive loss in a national semifinal. Still, this is one of the more remarkable streaks in sports. The last time UConn failed to reach the Final Four was 2007. Fudd was 5 years old.
Looking ahead: Maybe the streak, 13 tournaments in a row, is in jeopardy. UConn, struggling early this season due to so many injuries, entered the holiday break with three losses and at No. 11 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll — its lowest ranking since 2005. Bueckers, Fudd, Muhl and Griffin are expected to return well in advance of the postseason, though, so UConn will be more formidable than its record suggests, and expectations will likely be just as high as usual when the NCAA Tournament begins.
Football: Edsall out, Mora in

Looking back: The Huskies went through one of the most interesting, and miserable, experiences in recent college football history. After opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 and scheduling complications, UConn returned to the field "in a position to win," coach Randy Edsall said. The Huskies were smoked in the opener at Fresno State and upset at home by Holy Cross. At 0-2 on the season, and 6-32 since 2017, Edsall 2.0 was over. He announced his retirement Sept 5. The next day, Lou Spanos, the defensive coordinator with a long NFL history, was named interim coach, the same week he lost his father to COVID-19. The Huskies finished 1-11, with their only victory coming over FCS Yale.
Looking ahead: Jim Mora, named coach in November, is eight months from his first game on the sideline but he has scored a victory in his initial public relations surge. The Huskies begin their second season as an independent program in 2021. Athletic Director David Benedict will continue to explore conference options but the program and the brand need new energy, regardless. Mora announced his first recruiting class in December and has vowed to recruit Connecticut high schools and prep schools, having already established strong working relationships throughout the state. Next goal: win games, plural.
Ray Reid retires
UConn athletics / Contributed photo
Looking back: Men's soccer coach Ray Reid, who led the Huskies to a national championship in 2000, announced in early December that he was retiring after 25 years at the school. Reid, 61, is a four-time national champion, having won three in Division II as coach at Southern Connecticut before arriving at UConn in 1997. He retired largely to care for his ailing parents, Ray and Joan, who live on Long Island. Reid was 311-132-63 at UConn; 457-149-78 overall.
Looking ahead: The program is now in the hands of a notable alum. Chris Gbandi, the 2000 Hermann Trophy winner as UConn won its third NCAA title that season, was named coach Dec. 13. He spent the past six seasons as coach at Northeastern. Gbandi is just UConn's third coach since 1969 (Reid, Joe Morrone). The Huskies last season began playing at a renovated Morrone Stadium, connected to the Rizza Performance Center.
A new hockey arena … finally
Looking back: In April, the Board of Trustees approved plans for construction of a $70 million, 2,800-seat hockey arena on campus after several iterations stalled over the eight years. Construction began soon after along Jim Calhoun Way and the building is expected to open later this year, for games in the 2021-22 season.
Looking ahead: UConn will continue to play some home games at the XL Center, but the new 97,300-square-foot arena will be the centerpiece for programs run by Mike Cavanaugh and Chris Mackenzie. UConn hopes to recruit at a higher level with the facility upgrade. The small and outdated Freitas Ice Forum had been UConn's practice home throughout its first eight seasons in Hockey East.
A campus transformed
Looking back: The hockey arena will become the latest shiny new building in a transformed area of campus informally referred to as Olympic Village by Benedict, who has completed five years on the job. The area already features new or upgraded facilities in Morrone Stadium (soccer), Burrill Family Field (softball), Elliot Ballpark (baseball) and the Rizza Performance Center (training and offices for numerous sports).
Looking ahead: Programs that competed — some of them even thriving, particularly baseball — despite subpar facilities now have nothing holding them back on that front. The fields and stadiums of the southwest portion of campus have extended the entire area of the athletic complex, with Gampel Pavilion, the Shenkman Training Center, the Burton Family Football Complex and the Werth Champions Center just up the road and over the hill. The new buildings/fields are expected to be a recruiting boon.
Women's rowing cut … and reinstated
Looking back: UConn announced in June 2020 that it would cut four sports — men's cross country, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis and women's rowing — as part of measures to meet a university directive to cut approximately $10 million from a university subsidy. In May, however, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on the elimination of women's rowing. The program had alleged in a lawsuit that cutting the sport would be a violation of Title IX. In July, UConn announced it would reinstate the program for at least two more years.
Looking ahead: Reinstating women's rowing leaves UConn with 21 sponsored sports. UConn said it will work during the two-year period on a more detailed assessment of costs in an effort to keep women's rowing and consider a long-term reinstatement of the program.

Reeva's real killer: It started with a gun
TheAdvocatesPost	Human Rights Advocacy, The Advocates for Human Rights - All Posts, Women's Human Rights	 October 3, 2014 November 10, 2015 3 Minutes
Reeva Steenkamp
While legal experts and the public attempt to make sense of the Oscar Pistorius trial verdict, the killing of Reeva Steenkamp has drawn attention to another type of evidence – the research evidence on women as victims of homicide.
Every eight hours in South Africa, a woman is killed by her husband or boyfriend. There, as in most countries, the home is the most dangerous place for a woman. That danger escalates sharply when a gun is added in to the mix. International research shows that having a gun in the house makes you twice as likely to be murdered – or three times as likely, if you're a woman.
There are so many awful aspects of the Reeva Steenkamp tragedy. One of them is that her killer had the gun for the purpose of self-defence. To defend himself and presumably Reeva from outsiders who might come over the threshold and threaten the sanctuary of their home. Research shows you are four times more likely to have your gun stolen from you than to use it in self-defence. In fact over 12,000 guns are stolen every year from South African homes – more than 30 guns a day going over the threshold in the opposite direction, creating further risk in neighbourhoods and the country as a whole.
We know that reducing access to guns saves women's lives. One every eight hours means three women are killed by their partners every day, but it was even worse – four per day – before South Africa strengthened its gun law. The law was changed in 2000 and implemented from 2004. Researchers credit the gun law for reducing murders of women. In other words, men who attack their partners but who do not have a gun are less likely to leave them dead. Likewise for men who act negligently or mistakenly in "self-defence". If Reeva Steenkamp's partner had not had a gun, chances are she would be alive today.
Guns are simply physically more deadly than other common means of interpersonal violence – three times as likely to kill the victim than an attack with a knife. For a given investment of energy and time (one instant, one finger-pull), they do more damage to human bodies. That is why they are favoured by professional criminals, and frequently by ordinary men prone to aggression, impulsivity, recklessness, "vulnerability" or fear.
For Reeva Steenkamp, cowering behind the bathroom door in those early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, the outcome was determined by the presence of a gun. Whether the man who fired four shots through the door was acting reasonably or unreasonably in the circumstances, whether he was affected by instincts, emotions or perceptions – analysis after the fact cannot change the ugly reality. She was yet another woman killed at home, in the place where she was most entitled to feel safe, the trigger pulled by the man who should have been most committed to her wellbeing.
While the media focus returns to the life story and athletic career of her killer, we mourn Reeva Steenkamp and the many thousands of women whose lives are similarly, brutally cut short around the world each year. Along with mourning, we must also consider the broader evidence for prevention. That means recognising the lethal danger for women posed by guns in the home.

Rugby's concussion concern
Concussion in SA Rugby magazine
Published on March 8, 2019 | Leave a response
Pat Lambie's shock retirement has brought the subject of concussion-related injuries starkly into the spotlight, writes CRAIG LEWIS.
On 18 January the rugby fraternity was rocked by the news that Springbok and Racing 92 flyhalf Pat Lambie had been forced into retirement at the age of 28. The cause: ongoing effects of multiple concussions.
It served as a stark reminder of the risks related to head injuries in the game, which are not always fully appreciated. To begin to delve into this integral topic is a complex task, but one that is of utmost importance.
As a case study, Lambie's tale of a career cut short by concussion is particularly poignant and pertinent. In 2010, the rising star was on top of the world after leading the Sharks to a famous Currie Cup win at home with a Man of the Match performance in the final, before earning his first Springbok call-up.
In the years to follow, Lambie remained a prominent figure in South African rugby, but he was no stranger to injury. There was a torn bicep and a serious neck injury, but it was a fateful collision suffered in a Test match against Ireland in 2016 that would ultimately prove to be the beginning of the end for Lambie as a rugby player.
In the first half of that match on 11 June, Lambie was knocked out cold in a collision with Ireland loose forward CJ Stander. Months after the incident that left Lambie unconscious on the turf of Newlands, concerns began to arise when he continued to display symptoms and could not start training.
At one stage, Lambie's concussion was verging on uncharted territory in terms of its length, prompting former Sharks team doctor Alan Kourie to look into some alternative theories. Kourie studied research related to the fact that Lambie had previously suffered from migraines and had also suffered neck injuries, with indications emerging that this could play a part in triggering Post-Concussion Syndrome.
Kourie consulted other specialists and they all concurred that Lambie's symptoms were related to post-concussion issues rather than the concussion itself. After being put through a procedure called the 'Buffalo Protocol', aimed at reducing the syndrome and which involves slowly returning to exercise until the player is ready to take part in full-contact sessions, Lambie was eventually given the all-clear to play again.
Hope was restored, but then he took another head knock, this time in a Super Rugby game against the Kings, on 13 May 2017. In the weeks to follow, Lambie suffered from headaches and sensitive eyes, while waking up with what could be only described as a feeling of being 'hungover'. After weeks of information gathering, he was referred to two independent specialists, a neurologist and one on concussion, while the Sharks medical team also sought the opinion of a UK-based specialist who has dealt with over 1 500 cases of concussion.
With results of an MRI and an EEG (electroencephalogram), all three doctors, including Kourie, were of the opinion that a period of three to six months without contact was necessary. It was around this time that Lambie first admitted to SA Rugby magazine that he had briefly begun to consider retirement. Instead, he made one more attempt to start afresh by taking up a contract with Racing 92 in France.
But the cruel rugby gods had other ideas. Not long after joining Racing, Lambie suffered another blow to the head in a Top 14 clash, the effects of which lasted around 40 days. He recovered and returned to action once again, but in April 2018 he sustained yet another head knock in their European Champions Cup semi-final against Munster.
Lambie did his utmost to shake it off, even featuring in the first few minutes of the final, before suffering a serious knee injury.
'I didn't want to say anything about the semi-final incident because I didn't want to miss out on the final, which was a bit silly,' he later admitted. 'Anyway, I injured my knee and I thought, "Oh great, maybe it's a blessing in disguise" because it would give me a lot of time to get my knee and my head right. But the longer my knee rehab went on, the longer my symptoms lingered and the more appointments I had with neurologists here in France.'
Desperate not to give in, Lambie attempted rest, different courses of medication, neck and jaw treatments, eye rehabilitation, multi-vitamins and various exercises. Finally, following the advice of two neurologists, he accepted that retirement was his only option.
That is the cautionary tale of Pat Lambie: a player who won two Currie Cup titles, earned 56 Test caps and slotted a long-distance penalty to secure a famous win over New Zealand in 2014. He has retired with a warning to avoid contact sport or any strenuous exercise.
It's a timely reminder of the effect of concussions, further emphasised by similar retirements of other professionals such as Ben John, Jared Payne, Dominic Ryan, Jonathan Thomas, Kevin McLaughlin, Dave McSharry and Peter Grant. The list goes on.
Then there are the cases of Cillian Willis and Jamie Cudmore, who have gone to court with the allegation that their former clubs were negligent in the manner they treated the head injuries that curtailed their careers.
It's been nearly six years since Willis suffered a career-ending concussion. Featuring for the Sale Sharks, the former scrumhalf alleges he was cleared to play on, despite suffering two head injuries in a match against Saracens in 2013. Also aged 28, he was forced to retire a short time later due to concussion-related problems.
In 2015, Cudmore sustained a concussion in a European Cup semi-final for Clermont against Saracens, but was reportedly deemed fit to play on. A couple of weeks later, he suffered another head knock early in the final against Toulon, staggering back to the changing room where he vomited. Again, he was somehow allowed to return to play.
Subsequently, Cudmore had a scary few months enduring headaches, insomnia, restlessness, fatigue and bouts of anger and depression. The former Canada lock was inspired – along with his wife Jennifer – to form the Rugby Safety Network, a foundation that aims to support and educate players who have suffered from concussion.
In his autobiography, The Battle, former Ireland and British & Irish Lions captain Paul O'Connell recounts how he suffered a concussion on his Test debut, and how he scored a try that he couldn't remember afterwards.
'There are stories like that everywhere,' Cudmore said. 'It's more important when you have a concussion because not only can you have serious symptoms after the fact, you could also be dead. Getting a second impact soon after a first impact can kill you. Nobody needs to die playing sport.'
Cudmore, who is taking legal action against Clermont, has regularly expressed his view that there is a big onus on the medical staff and team management to take the correct action when a player is concussed.
'Rugby players never say no. They always want to play. That's not the problem. The problem is when the doctors or team managers, in the heat of the moment, want their best players on the field. What they've got to realise is that when their best player is concussed, he is obviously not in his best state and needs to be taken off the field and protected.'
Cudmore has also pushed for more work to be done on tackle technique and even for law changes to allow more players on the bench to remove the pressure of keeping injured players on the field due to limited replacements.
To its credit, World Rugby has in recent years sought to place an increased emphasis on player safety, and at the end of 2016 announced details of its zero-tolerance approach to high tackles.
World Rugby's directive came after a research study in which 611 head injury assessment (HIA) incidents were reviewed from 1 516 elite matches between 2012 and 2015. The results showed that 76% of all head injuries occurred in the tackle, and 72% of HIA incidents in the tackle occurred to the tackler (making the tackler's risk of head injury 2.6 times higher than the ball-carrier's). The study also found that body position, speed and the direction of tackle all influence the risk of head injury in the tackle, ultimately leading to more stringent on-field sanctions being enforced that were aimed at lowering the tackle height.
The subject of player safety has gained increasing prominence. Towards the end of last year, the French Rugby Federation championed a proposal to lower the legal height of a tackle to waist level. Meetings on the topic had been organised after Stade Français teenager Nicolas Chauvin died in hospital after suffering a broken neck, which triggered a heart attack during a match in Bordeaux.
The RFU also recently began trials that saw the legal tackle height lowered to below the armpit, but quickly aborted the experiment after seeing a counterproductive rise in the number of concussions.
And just days after Lambie had officially announced his retirement, SA Rugby and other key stakeholders held a workshop involving medical professionals from the local rugby fraternity as part of a process of refining concussion protocols.
Professor Jon Patricios, one of World Rugby and SA Rugby's specialist concussion consultants, facilitated the workshop.
'It was important that SA Rugby reflected on its concussion protocols with respect to current research and international protocols,' Patricios commented.
Slowly but surely, the topic of rugby-related concussion and the dangers involved with head injuries is increasingly coming into sharp focus. It's long overdue, while for Lambie it may well prove to be an important part of his legacy.

A Portlethen Academy pupil who has won an award for his commitment to volunteering is sharing his experiences with others.
Callum Brunton (17) has dedicated more than 500 hours to Aberdeen FC Community Trust (AFCCT) over the past two years and won the Aberdeenshire Youth Volunteer Award for contributions to Health and Wellbeing in 2016.
Aberdeenshire Council's Health and Wellbeing Young Leaders initiative, delivered in partnership with NHS Grampian, aims to increase opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills and to impact on their communities through projects that improve health.
Callum, who is in his final school year, spoke about how his volunteering efforts have helped changed the lives of others and his own, as the Health and Wellbeing programme launches for another year.
He said: "Volunteering is a great way of giving back to your community, and a tool to help you develop as a person.
"Before I started volunteering for Aberdeen FC Community Trust I had no confidence and struggled to speak to people. Now, through the charity, I have developed those skills.
Last year, AFCCT chose Callum to join their Eurotrip to Nijmegen in the Netherlands as a reward for his devotion to volunteering and putting others ahead of his own social life.
Callum believes that AFC's proposed 'Aurora campaign' plans for a new stadium and community centre will provide even more opportunities for the Trust to engage with more people and says that an upgrade is much needed.
The proposals are to be considered by Aberdeen City Council ias soon as possible. For details of how to support the Aurora campaign, visit www.afc.co.uk/Aurora and use #AllForAurora on social media.

Here are 263 reasons to support this gun safety bill. But one is enough
Assemblywoman Laura Friedman is proposing safe gun storage legislation. (Photo illustration)
By Laura Friedman, Special to CALmatters
On a Monday in February 2015, 13 year-old Rashawn Harris, known to his family as Ray Ray, told his father, Willis Harris, that he was on his way to school and that he loved him.
He stepped out of the front door of his parents' South Stockton home. There, as he waited in his own driveway for his ride to school, Ray Ray was gunned down.
His father rushed out to find his son laying on the ground. Willis held his son in his arms as neighbors gathered along the street. It would be their last moment together as Rashawn Harris lost his life due to the .40 caliber bullets of a semiautomatic pistol.
In the ensuing investigation, it was found that the murder weapon belonged to former Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva.
The firearm was one of several guns stolen from Silva's home after he had left them unsecured while he was away. The weapon that took Rashawn's life was recovered by authorities later that summer; the other firearms are still somewhere on our streets.
This is just one tragic example of the result of stolen guns among thousands.
Between 2010 and 2017, 4,800 stolen firearms were recovered from crime scenes in California. In that same time period, more than 71,000 firearms were reported lost or stolen in our state. Not only are lost or stolen firearms a factor in homicides, assaults, and burglaries, they're increasingly being used in suicides, particularly youth suicides.
We clearly have a problem. Between 2010 and 2017, stolen firearms were used in at least 60 homicides in California, and 203 youths ended their lives because of unauthorized access to a firearm. If one is too many, what is 263?
By design, firearms are uniquely lethal. And while California already has in place some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, the numbers do not lie. The tragic murder of Rashawn makes clear that we have more to do.
In partnership with the Giffords Law Center and the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, I have introduced legislation, Assembly Bill 276, which promotes safe gun storage so that we can finally reduce, if not eliminate unauthorized access to guns by children, those who can cause harm to themselves and others, and also reduce the number of lost or stolen guns that end up on our streets.
AB 276 will hold gun owners accountable by requiring all firearms to be securely stored with Department of Justice-approved firearm safety devices, when they leave their residence. Failure to do so would result in an infraction with a heavy fine and would allow locals to expand upon the existing requirements and penalties.
The truth is, Rashawn's death, just like the thousands of others, was preventable. Deterring unauthorized access or theft of firearms is a common-sense solution to this insensible, complex, and horrific problem. AB 276 is the next step we must to take to stop this plague of violence, and I hope the public and my colleagues support it.
I can think of 263 reasons why they should.

The best WIFI controller has now been purchased by Hunter who believe the future of the irrigation industry includes smart connected controllers offering flexibility and ease of use. With that goal in mind, Hunter is proud to announce the acquisition of Hydrawise, a manufacturer of Wi-Fi enabled irrigation controllers and web-based software.
A Hunter Hydrawise system is expandable to 36 zones, each of which can be assigned an individual name and tailored watering schedule based on the weather. Managing your garden's watering has never been so simple and fun.
A full color touchscreen on the controller combined with a simple wizard gets you up and connected to your wireless router in no time. From that point, all configuration is done in the Hunter Hydrawise app which you can trial online.
Do you want to see what's happening with your controller from the touchscreen as well as the Hydrawise app? No problem – we've got that covered too with an elegant and simple touchscreen interface that even your mom could use.
Hunter Hydrawise uses your wireless internet (wifi) to access a live stream from weather stations close to you.
See what weather stations are available in your area using our interactive map.
Hydrawise's flow meters allow you to detect broken pipes, spray heads and faulty wiring or valves. The Hydrawise interface allows you to view the water usage for each watering cycle and set up email or SMS alerts when a zone's water usage is abnormal.
Don't lose plants or get massive water bills just because your irrigation system failed you!
The Hunter Hydrawise controller uses your wifi network to access the internet directly through your router – no need to leave your computer on or make any network changes. Simply enter your wireless password into the unit and you're done!
Hydrawise is fully compatible with traditional 24V AC irrigation controllers so you can rip and replace in no time!
No wireless? No problem. You can fully configure the controller using the touchscreen or we can guide you through different WiFi options.
Normally the way to find out about a wiring or valve issue is when you notice your plants have died or you get a large water bill.
Hunter Hydrawise monitors the state of your wiring and valves and alerts you when abnormal current is detected – this could indicate a wiring short, a broken wire, or a faulty solenoid.
Don't lose plants just because your irrigation system failed you!
Find out exactly when your controller is going to water next, how much rainfall you've had, how much water you've saved and how much watering you've done.
Our reports are interactive so you can zoom down to the minute to find out what's been happening in your garden!
A Hunter HydraWise Controller operates solenoids or valves attached to your garden's irrigation system in exactly the same way that 20th century controllers do.The difference is that your Hunter HydraWise Controller also is automatically connected to the internet via a standard wireless router. This allows your Hunter HydraWise Controller to automatically adjust watering schedules based on forecast temperature and rainfall based on the weather in your area.
When creating the controller we also wanted to make it the easiest controller in the world to use. So with Hunter Hydrawise there's no need to understand wireless networking and no need for you configure your router to use your controller from anywhere in the world (other web controllers require you to configure your home wireless router with 'port forwarding' to allow remote control of your controller). If you've ever connected your computer to the internet by typing in your wireless password then you can install and use Hydrawise.
There's also no need to install your own weather station – with over 33,000 weather stations in our system there's bound to be one near you.
Configuration of your HydraWise Controller is easy and is done using a standard web browser. You can control it from your computer or even a smart phone such as an iPhone or Android phone.


In 1921, there were more co-ops than ever before. At the International Co-operative Congress of World Co-op Leaders in Basel, Switzerland, co-op leaders wanted to identify and define the growing co-operative movement's common values and ideals to help unite co-ops around the world. They decided to develop an international co-op symbol to celebrate the movement's growing diversity.
It was hard to settle on an image that would please everybody. Artists all over the world submitted ideas and designs. Eventually, a famous French co-operator, Professor Charles Gide, suggested using the seven colours of the rainbow for the flag. He pointed out that the rainbow symbolized unity in diversity and power of light, enlightenment and progress.
Everybody in the world can recognize a rainbow and grasp its many meanings. Rainbow refers to the image in the sky after a rain storm, in every country and continent. In cultures around the world, there are stories and legends about the rainbow as a path or gate to a better world or a reward. And, from a scientific viewpoint, the rainbow is in fact a single, indivisible entity.
All these meanings make the rainbow a perfect emblem for the co-op movement. After some experiments with different designs and kinds of cloth, the first rainbow flag was completed in 1924. Everyone loved it, and it was adopted as an official symbol of the international co-operative movement in 1925. The Rainbow Flag is the international emblem of co-operatives. It was adopted as the official co-operative symbol by leaders in the International Co-operative Alliance in 1925.
It symbolizes the fading political divisions and the union of peoples. Composed of the primary shades of the rainbow, the Rainbow Flag contains all the colours of the flags of the world. All people merged under this pennant are united into one international brotherhood.
Red – represents the courage to stand together.
Orange – represents hope and offers the vision of possibilities.
Yellow – represents warmth, friendship and concern for others. It also represents the challenge that green had kindled.
Green – indicates a challenge to strive for growth in co-operatives and individual members as we learn more about ourselves and others.
Sky Blue – represents unlimited horizons and possibilities and the need to provide education and help the less fortunate. It also represents unity with all peoples of the world.
Dark Blue – represents hard work and perseverance- the challenge of working together to achieve our goals of harmony, equality and economic efficiency. It also represents the less fortunate who can learn to help themselves through co-operation.
Violet – represents warmth, beauty, friendship and respect for others.


Tulip Town Bulb Company offers many varieties of tulips - all imported from the Netherlands. We ship these bulbs anywhere in the country. In addition, we plant thousands of tulip bulbs each fall at our downtown location of 116 First Street SW. These tulips bloom in April and May, and guests are invited to view the display garden and see firsthand what the different varieties look like.
See our display garden in full bloom as it was captured by Karen VanDer Maaten of Orange City, Iowa and Vander Stelt Studios of Maurice, Iowa.
As long time residents of a small Dutch community in northwest Iowa, we have come to love Orange City and the annual traditions of the Tulip Festival held the third weekend of May.
In 2006, we purchased the Vander Wel Tulip Test Gardens, changed the location, and renamed the business "Tulip Town Bulb Company."

Q: How does the following Python program work? I found this code in python simple programs page.
parents, babies = (1, 1)
while babies < 100:

    print 'This generation has {0} babies'.format(babies)
    parents, babies = (babies, parents + babies)

The output is:
This generation has 1 babies
This generation has 2 babies
This generation has 3 babies
This generation has 5 babies
This generation has 8 babies
This generation has 13 babies
This generation has 21 babies
This generation has 34 babies
This generation has 55 babies
This generation has 89 babies

A: parents, babies = (1, 1)

This is an assignment statement. The value '1' will be assigned to parents and babies initially.
In the while loop, the value of babies will be assigned to parents and the sum of babies and parents will be assigned to babies. The loop will end when the value of babies goes beyond 100.

A: parents, babies = (1, 1) #This line simply creates the parents and the babies (There are one of each).

while babies < 100:   #while there are less than 100 babies

    print 'This generation has {0} babies'.format(babies) #his will print the string {0} tells it that the first paramter supplied to the format method should go there.
    parents, babies = (babies, parents + babies) #parent = babies, babies = parents + babies.

So first run you have one of each. Second run you have 1 parent, but 2 babies (parents + babies). Then you get 3 babies (2 + 1) and so on.
It's actually just a simple implementation of the fibonacci sequence.

A: Welcome to python. Let's start with the first line.
    parents, babies = (1, 1)

In this line, the tuple is unpacked to the variables parents and babies. So both will have the value 1. To know what unpacking sequence means you can see What is sequence unpacking?
I expect u know what a while loop does, so let's look into the third line.
    print 'This generation has {0} babies'.format(babies)

If u want to know how print.format() work you can see this link How print.format() work in python. In short, inside format method you can pass several parameter and use them in print instruction with array like index({0}, {1},{2}, ...). As in this code, format contains a single parameter babies, we can access it with {0} in print statement.
The next line,
  parents, babies = (babies, parents + babies)

Doing almost same like the first line. It is making a sequence and unpacking with two variables at once. You can do them like that as well:
  temp =  parents
  parents = babies
  babies = temp + babies

So, now look at the program and guess what it is doing. If you understand everything, you already have the answer. The program is printing the Fibonacci numbers up to 100. Feel free to ask if u have any more question.

Q: How to find a real similar matrix to a complex matrix Find a real similar matrix to the following matrix:
$$
        \begin{bmatrix}
        1 & i & -i \\
        0 & 1-i & \phantom-i \\
        0 & 0 & 1+i \\
        \end{bmatrix}
$$
Thanks

A: Well, the determinant is real, so why not. Find some real matrix with the same eigenvalues (a simple rotation would do), then the eigenvectors of both, then change basis to bring one to the other.
In short, if your matrix is $A$ and $B=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&-1\\0&0&1\\0&i&1\end{pmatrix}$, then $B^{-1}AB=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&1\\0&-1&1\end{pmatrix}$


text: Q: distance in scipy.signal.find_peaks as ndarray I am using find_peaks from the scipy package. However, I would need the specified distance to be different depending on the position in the data, in particular proportional to position (i/50), as peaks are getting wider for samples with larger index i. However, it seems that find_peaks does not accept a ndarray for distance. Is there a method to achieve this?

Q: how to parse huge (>50mb) JSON file How to parse data >50mb .There is zip inside json file which is more than 50 mb.please help me to solve this problem i will get out of memory error while parsing.

A: You should use Gson or Jackson for this purpose. note.. I have no clue how but you would do great with a pointer.
Loading a 50 mb file all at once would be a problem to the device due to the following :

*

*Large file ... Lots of time to load , affects the users expression towards your app if its public.

*Parsing , a 50 mb json file is nothing but 50 mb of arrays . It might not be a good idea to parse it all at once. Note.. Make sure you google on ways to avoid garbage collection.
Now ,
Why Gson or Jackson ?
Well , normally if you would parse a json file it would load it all at once taking a lot of time as well as affecting the memory consumption.
With the help of these , you can load off only a few items in the json file at a time..this is called json streaming.
For example you can use it while loading a product list , loading off a few products into the list as you scroll .


They are the king of excuses. Have you ever tried to wear a smile when you were sad or hurt? It is exhausting. People with depression fatigue easily and have a hard time keeping the smile on their face for a long period of time. That is why they have excuses as to why they can't make the party, they can't hang out. They are usually the people who leave early from an event or are too sick to attend a family gathering.
They Withdraw. Making excuses to get out of social gatherings is a type of withdrawal, but going out of your way to avoid friends and loved ones is a deep, isolating withdrawal. People who are depressed are unable to muster the kind of energy maintaining a relationship or friendship demands. The person on the receiving end of the avoidance often feels hurt because they believe the lack of contact is due to something they have done.
They become easily agitated or anxious. Some people show signs of restlessness. They are unable to sit still, and their eyes constantly look around the room. They seem uneasy and get angry when asked if something is wrong.
They are always tired. Many illnesses and diseases can cause fatigue, but if an otherwise healthy person seems to lack the energy to do anything other than watch Netflix day in and day out, that may be a sign of depression. Even the smallest of tasks become overwhelming.
Changes in appetite. Some people stop eating when they are depressed. They find food to be bland and they feel full quickly. Other people are unable to stop eating and they gain weight. The depression worsens because they now have a self-image problem as well.
Feelings of guilt and self-blame. Depressed people are not happy with anyone and that includes themselves. They do not understand why they feel worthless and unlovable and often every past failure comes to the surface and they agonize over every mistake.
Confusion and/or mental slowness. Depression clouds the brain and makes you feel like you are trying to run under water. People who are depressed often will take longer to formulate answers to questions. It seems to take them a long time to think and sometimes they appear confused and forgetful.
They have physical pain. Depression is painful and not just mentally. People who have suffered from depression for a long time have physical pain. It can manifest in the form of a headache or severe backache. Sometimes it is stomach or abdominal pain.


Love this idea. I love working with old jars. I love the touch of color. Karen over at Graphics Fairy is so awesome.
The jar shapes go so well your lovely colors. Thanks for sharing.
A suggestion: rather than do these individually, keep the sheet as a whole and do watercolour randomly all over the sheet, leaving some white space here and there, drop some nice colour here and there wet in wet for texture and pattern, then cut them out.
