UAE social responsibility firm to set up 4,000-acre farm in Ghana
Nahtam, a UAE-based social responsibility company, is planning to set up a sustainable farming system in Ghana on 1,600 hectares of land in the capital city of Accra that will produce organic food while offsetting carbon production.
The project will employ 2,000 Ghanaians to work on the land, where 36 villages have already been set up. The crops will include bananas, palm oil, avocados, mangoes and pineapples, and these products will then be sold both locally and internationally, including to the UAE.
"Since we are based in Abu Dhabi, where planting trees is very expensive, an alternative is to plant trees in a countries such as Ghana."
"We will also have exotic trees like teak and rubber plantations," George Itty, CEO of Nahtam, told Abu Dhabi's The National."Teak is a long-term investment - it takes many years to get the result out of it - but we're going for tissue culture, so it won't be that long. Rubber plantations are also something that worldwide investors will get a return on."
The process to acquire the land took about a year and is expected to be finalised next month. Work on the land will start in six months, with food production anticipated to begin as early as next summer. The trees are then expected to mature in two to three years.
Itty added: "Carbon footprint is a global issue and the simplest and easiest method to offset carbon is to plant as many trees as you can. Since we are based in Abu Dhabi, where the desert makes planting trees very expensive, an alternative is to plant trees in a countries such as Ghana. As long as the trees are there, we are offsetting the carbon."
The ultimate aim of the project will be to ensure production is 100% sustainable, including avoiding all chemicals and providing power to the project from solar and wind sources. The project chose Ghana for its beneficial climate and the availability of land and manpower.
The exact level of offsetting that will be provided by the project is not yet known, because the exact species of plants are yet to be decided, but the scale will make it impressive.
Robin Mills, head of consulting at Manaar Energy in Dubai, commented: "Although the European carbon market has pretty much collapsed, people recognise that stopping deforestation and replanting forests is critical in tackling climate change in the longer term.
"About 20% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused be deforestation so although it might seem unimportant to individual companies, it's important from a global point of view."
Investors from the UAE will be invited to take part in the project in three months' time.
Nahtam, which means "We Care" in Arabic, is a private and voluntary organisation driven by three committed individuals: Ebrahim Al Haddar, a UAE national; Isabelle Le Bon-Poonoosamy, a Mauritian national; and, George Itty, an Indian national.

Patrick O'Callahan: Shooting brings unwelcome notoriety
Patrick O'Callahan
The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
A few days ago, the world was introduced to my hometown, which until then was barely known outside Washington. Marysville — an itsy bitsy city when I lived there — is now renowned as the place where a 15-year-old shot five of his classmates in a school cafeteria.
For people with ties to Marysville — I suspect I speak for most of us — this feels weird and heartbreaking. It's unjust that someone in England or China now knows Marysville only as a place where a ninth-grader carried out a lunchroom massacre.
As the cliché goes, I thought it couldn't happen here. Seattle, yes. Tacoma, yes. Suburb in Connecticut, yes. Not my old town.
That's ridiculous, of course. The same thing can happen anywhere in the United States.
The detached journalist in me tells me to chill. Statistically, the United States is getting safer; violent crime has been falling for years. Nor are public schools shooting galleries. Last year, the chances of a child being shot to death in the K-12 system was much lower than the chances of being struck by lightning.
That all makes sense until your own hometown suffers the bloodiest school shooting since the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Conn. You recognize, as the news breaks, the names of victims and bystanders — names of nieces and nephews of your own schoolmates. There's a wrongness to it all. The lightning isn't supposed strike here.
The Marysville I grew up in 40-some years ago was not a violent community. Despite what happened at Marysville-Pilchuck High School last week, it isn't one now.
Marysville has never been a pretentious place. Until the 1980s, it still had the heart of a semi-rural Western Washington town. Its lumberjack days were long gone, but men still drove to the pulp mills in nearby Everett and made good money there with high school degrees.
Marysville was the Strawberry City. At the annual Strawberry Festival, half the town showed up for the grand parade on State Street and the shortcake-eating contest. Kids worked in the strawberry fields after school got out in June. After picking in the sun all day, our hands would be caked with a reddish marinade of strawberry juice and farm dirt. Our fingernails and the creases in our palms wouldn't be clean again until late July.
The farms are mostly covered with subdivisions now, but the Strawberry Festival lives on. To get a glimpse of Marysville's soul, stop by the city the third Saturday in June.
Toward the south end of town is Marysville's signature, 1920s-vintage water tower, a relic that citizens fought to preserve. A small brick building near the base of the tower once housed the old city hall and the library. As a kid, I scoured the library's shelves for science fiction books and eventually stumbled across George Orwell's "1984." That book from that tiny library first opened to me the possibilities of the English language.
Towards the north end stood (and still stands) the Quonset-hut-shaped Marysville Skate Inn. Back in the day, it booked Paul Revere and the Raiders, Merrilee and the Turnabouts and other classic Northwest bands. That was about as exciting as things ever got in Marysville, aside from the football games.
Today, across Interstate 5, on the Tulalip reservation, the casinos and outlet mall draw shoppers and gamblers from throughout the region. But Marysville itself has never been much of a destination. It has been an ordinary, down-to-earth place where good citizens grew up, married, lived quiet and useful lives, and sent their own children off to school.
I imagine the people of Newtown and Columbine have felt what Marysville is feeling right now. It's tough to see CNN, Fox, The New York Times and Washington Post present your community to the nation as the place where kids get shot in school.
This is not who we are. This is not who our children are. Marysville has never been the place where school kids get shot in school. Except last Friday.

When the sun's shining, you shouldn't leave your house without throwing on a pair of chic shades. Sunglasses are an essential finishing touch to any summer outfit—not to mention that over time, exposure to the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays can raise your risk for cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye problems. But if your sunglasses always seem to get crushed at the bottom of your beach bag or vanish without a trace (especially if you happened to spend a lot of money on them), you're not alone. That's why we rounded up the best sunglasses on sale right now. With styles ranging from cute cat-eye to slick aviator and prices from 6 bucks to $167, we made sure to find a pair for everyone. Some of these discounts are so steep, you should really just go ahead and buy two.
Their angled shape complements square faces best, but really, everyone should have a pair of cat-eye sunglasses for days where you just want to make a statement. These also offer 100% UV protection.
These are the type of low-key glasses that go perfect with a neutral outfit. Since this year, these should should be in your wardrobe.
Your eyes are not deceiving you—these J.Crew glasses are really $89 off. They provide 100% UV protection, CR-39 lenses, and a stylish oversized frame at less than $50. These shades are a steal.
Oakley polarized frames usually cost well over $100 because of their durability, comfort, and ability to block out not just UV rays, but harmful blue light as well.
In true Kate Spade fashion, these glasses are understatedly, but colorfully cute. The pastel blue color screams summer, and the ever-so-slightly cat-eye shape means you can wear them with basically any outfit.
This is the biggest discount on the list. Nordstrom came through by taking more than $200 off this pair. Wear these to be red-carpet ready all day.

Guerrero homers twice, powers Blue Jays past Orioles 11-2
By TODD KARPOVICH - Associated Press - Thursday, August 1, 2019
BALTIMORE (AP) - The Toronto Blue Jays have a young, dynamic team that could make a playoff run in the next couple of years.
They provided a glimpse of that potential against the Baltimore Orioles.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit two of his team's five home runs to back a solid pitching performance by fellow rookie Trent Thornton and the Blue Jays beat the Orioles 11-2 Thursday night.
"That guy's pretty good. He's driving in runs," Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said about Guerrero. "They got a nice little core. They're going to be fun players to watch here going forward, really athletic. They have a young core group of position players that are going to do damage."
Randal Grichuk, Danny Jansen and Billy McKinney also had homered for the Blue Jays, who tied a season high with their fourth straight win. Guerrero's homers included an impressive 450-foot shot off Dylan Tate in the eighth inning.
Toronto reinstated Thornton (4-7) from the 10-day injured list following a bout with elbow inflammation, and he allowed one run and five hits without a walk over six innings. His last two wins have come against the Orioles. Thornton threw six scoreless innings against them July 7.
"He wasn't trying to strike people out tonight, just get people out, and he did a good job of it," manager Charlie Montoyo said. "He got a lot of ground balls."
Trey Mancini hit his 25th home run, a solo shot in the eighth off Toronto reliever Jason Adam, who was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo earlier in the day.
Guerrero gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead with a two-run shot in the third off Asher Wojciechowski (2-4). Guerrero is batting .416 (20 of 48) with five homers over his last 12 games.
The Orioles loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half on two singles and a bunt. Thornton escaped with a pop out and double play. Toronto took a 3-0 lead on a two-out, RBI single by Bo Bichette.
"I wanted to stay ahead of the hitters and attack the strike zone," Thornton said. "I felt I was able to do that. Got out of a big jam in third inning and that was big momentum for me."
Grichuk hit a solo homer in the fifth that ended the night for Wojciechowski, who was dealing with a hip injury. The Orioles pulled within 4-1 later that inning on a fielder's choice by Jonathan Villar.
"I just didn't feel that great today," Wojciechowski said. "The hip was a little sore. I've dealt with it in the past."
Jansen hit a three-run shot and Guerrero picked up his third RBI with a double off Jimmy Yacabonis in the sixth.
ORIOLES STAY PAT
The rebuilding Orioles were expected to be active at the trade deadline. Instead, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias decided the best course of action was to keep the current roster intact, especially with key players under contract for next season.
"Our goal is to raise the talent level up and down the organization and that includes players who are on the major league team, and the trades that were available to us, I didn't feel like they were going to do that," Elias said. "I thought they might actually lower the talent level because these are guys we have under control."
The Blue Jays added OF Derek Fisher to their major league roster. Fisher was acquired from the Houston Astros ahead of Wednesday's trade deadline for right-handed starter Aaron Sanchez, right-handed reliever Joe Biagini and minor league outfielder Cal Stevenson.
Orioles: INF Jose Rondon was added to the 25-man roster after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday. He popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh.
Blue Jays: Grichuk was hit by a foul ball in the sixth inning and went to a local hospital for x-rays.
Orioles: OF/DH Mark Trumbo is experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. He is hoping to return to the club in September when rosters expand.
Blue Jays: Montoyo hasn't decided on a starter for the second game of the series, but he will likely go with an opener.
Orioles: RHP Aaron Brooks (2-4, 5.46 ERA) allowed five runs and seven hits over five innings in his last start against the Angels. He has a 7.07 ERA in four appearances for Baltimore.

Twins have met their match for Santana
JOHAN SANTANA Seeking megadeal
Email|Print| Text size – + By Gordon Edes
Globe Staff / January 30, 2008
There was a moment in December when the Red Sox thought they were close to consummating a deal for Twins lefthander Johan Santana, the two-time Cy Young Award winner who with Josh Beckett would have formed a potentially historic 1-2 combination at the top of their pitching rotation.
Thus, they had a mixed reaction yesterday to the news that the Twins had elected to trade Santana to the New York Mets for four prospects. The deal is contingent on Santana passing a physical, and the Mets striking a deal on a contract extension within a 72-hour period that ends Friday at 5 p.m., though that deadline could be extended.
"If true, it isn't the worst outcome for the Red Sox," Sox chairman Tom Werner said. "We get to hold onto our deep farm system, and Santana ends up pitching in the other league."
Werner did not mention it specifically, but the Sox are not unhappy that Santana is not going to the Yankees, who may initially have made the best offer - top pitching prospect Phil Hughes and outfielder Melky Cabrera - but pulled that from the table by the end of the process, general manager Brian Cashman saying he was committed to the team's youth.
The Sox' offers did not differ dramatically from those they presented at the outset: One package featured pitcher Jon Lester, the other center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury. The Sox refused to include both players in the deal, according to several officials with direct knowledge of the talks, and in the end felt their offers trumped that of the Mets, though one club official said yesterday he anticipated that the Twins would take New York's.
But there was considerable doubt within Red Sox executive offices that even if they'd struck a deal, they would have been able to sign Santana, who turned down a four-year, $80 million extension from the Twins and reportedly is seeking a six-year deal for as much as $25 million annually "I don't necessarily think it's a done deal for the Mets, either," one Sox official said yesterday, "if that's what Santana really wants."
But the Mets, who suffered a late September collapse last season, lost 300-game winner Tom Glavine in the offseason, and are moving into a new ballpark in 2009, had the greatest need for Santana, who turns 29 in March.
The Sox, who last winter gave Japanese import Daisuke Matsuzaka a six-year deal but cited unique circumstances for doing so, almost certainly would not have offered Santana as many years, or would have proposed a contract well short of $25 million in annual average value. Their strategy, according to sources familiar with their thinking, included a belief that Santana would have accepted less to pitch for a potential perennial World Series contender.
While Sox players, including Curt Schilling and Mike Lowell, voiced support for acquiring Santana, a vocal portion of the fan base was less enthusiastic, expressing alarm at the prospect of losing either Lester, who pitched the clinching game of the 2007 World Series after conquering cancer, or Ellsbury, whose exciting play in the season's last month made him a favorite.
"I guess I'm a little bit relieved he's not coming to the Red Sox," Lester said. "Obviously, it would have been nice to have him here, but at the same time, I didn't want to go that way [Minnesota], and I didn't need another roadblock in my way. It's nice to see him go to a different team in a different league."
While the Sox' offers included major league-ready players in Ellsbury, Lester, and Coco Crisp - the outfielder who would have been packaged with Lester - new Twins GM Bill Smith chose the promise exhibited by the four prospects the Mets are giving up: center fielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey.
Those players ranked as the Mets' Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 7 prospects, according to Baseball America. The Mets succeeded in keeping their top prospect, outfielder Fernando Martinez.
"A lot of teams just weren't willing to give up their best prospects, then have to try to sign this guy," one American League executive said. "Imagine if the Twins had been trying to move Santana and he was already under contract for three years at $15 million. They could have asked for the moon and gotten it."
Either Ellsbury or Crisp would have replaced Torii Hunter, who signed with the Angels as a free agent, as Minnesota's center fielder. Now they enter spring training competing for the Sox' center field job, with Ellsbury - who replaced Crisp during the AL Championship Series and starred in the World Series - the odds-on favorite. Crisp's agent, Steve Comte, has said his client isn't interested in being a backup. The Sox will listen to offers for Crisp, but wouldn't mind keeping him as a fourth outfielder, playing him in center against lefties and using him to spell Manny Ramírez and J.D. Drew on the corners.
Lester now comes to camp as a likely member of a rotation that retains Beckett, Matsuzaka, Schilling, and Tim Wakefield, with rookie Clay Buchholz, who threw a no-hitter in his second big league start, an obvious contender. Depending on the health of the incumbents, Buchholz could start the season in Triple A Pawtucket.
With the opening of camp Feb. 14, the Sox roster is all but settled. They made a strong run at free agent Brad Wilkerson as a backup outfielder/first baseman who hits from the left side, but Wilkerson is about to sign with Seattle, where he is expected to be an everyday player.
The Sox may settle for a lefthanded bat who can play first base, a good bet being 33-year-old Sean Casey, who last season played for the Tigers, batting .296 with 4 home runs and 54 RBIs. Casey has a career on-base percentage of .366 and is widely considered a tremendous teammate.

Leeds hospitals expect cash surplus as MPs warn NHS finances '˜not sustainable'
Struggling hospitals have racked up multi-million pound deficits while others built up big surpluses '" a situation described as '˜not sustainable' by MPs.
Friday, 18th January 2019, 5:00 am
The warning was made by the National Audit Office as NHS trusts in neighbouring West Yorkshire cities revealed widely contrasting financial fortunes.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals expects to be around £18m in the black at the end of 2018-19, while Wakefield-based Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust has forecast a deficit of almost £20m.
It is the second year running that the Leeds trust will have cash left over as chronic financial woes continue at Mid Yorkshire.
The report has revealed figures on the number of repeat A&E visits.
The Leeds Teaching Hospitals surplus on March 31, 2018, was £18.9m. A trust spokesperson said: "We are forecasting the trust will achieve a financial surplus for 2018-19 at a similar level to the surplus we announced last year."
It follows a programme of measures to cut unnecessary spending, the trust said, adding: "This programme focuses on our patients' experience by delivering efficiency and improvements to how our services are run, saving money in the long-term."
Mid Yorkshire ended last year £20m in the red and rising demand on hospitals means meeting its deficit target this year could be difficult.
Finance director Jane Hazelgrave said: "The trust is still reporting it will achieve its planned deficit of £19.7m, but there is significant financial risk due to the operational pressures facing the NHS."
The National Audit Office (NAO) said deficits at some NHS trusts being offset by surpluses at others "does not paint a picture that is sustainable".
Warnings have also been made that staff shortages mean a £20.5bn NHS funding increase is not enough to tackle the growing waiting lists and A&E delays.
The NAO's annual report on NHS financial sustainability is released today.

Q: Laravel: How to make a stand-alone piece of functionality? There is a UserVerification service that I use in multiple applications. One can submit its email/number to this service, the service verifies that the submitter is actually who he/she claims, then based on its existence in users table, it registers or logs in the user and returns a token.
I want to implement this process as a separate piece of functionality. Here are choices came to my mind:

*

*Implement this as a trait,

*Implement this as a class,

*Implement this as a service provider,

*In case of using nwidart module, I can implement this as a module (it is applicable only in case of usage of this package).

I would like to know from software engineering and object oriented, what is the standard and best solution to do this.
Thanks in advance

If you want to know why the prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace are currently zero, consider Avi Issacharoff's report in the Times of Israel last week about Fatah's Seventh General Congress, which is slated to take place in Ramallah on Tuesday. The Congress is supposed to elect Fatah's two main leadership organs, the Central Committee and the Revolutionary Council; one candidate for the latter is Nasser Abu Baker, a reporter for Radio Falastin. "Abu Baker, who used to maintain close ties with his Israeli colleagues, has boycotted Israeli journalists since he began nurturing his political career," Issacharoff wrote matter-of-factly.
Fatah, of course, is Israel's official peace partner, twice over. It is the main component of the PLO, the organization that signed the Oslo Accords with Israel, and also the party headed by the "moderate" Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president and PLO chairman. Yet it turns out that the way to win votes among members of Israel's "peace partner" is not by promoting peace, but by refusing even to talk to your Israeli colleagues–even if they are among the most pro-Palestinian Israelis you're ever likely to find, as is true of most Israeli journalists.
Not so long ago I could wander freely around Gaza and the West Bank and bring cultural and political stories, but today there are few places I can enter in the West Bank … The Israeli media doesn't go into something like 70 percent of the West Bank, and even when I do go, it'll be to film some 10-minute dialogue with someone and then we're out of there right away, because it's just become too dangerous. They don't want to see us there … Israeli journalists used to serve as a bridge between Israeli and Palestinian society, but this bridge has been gradually cracking.
Nor is this problem exclusive to journalists. The "anti-normalization" campaign–a euphemism for refusing to talk to Israelis and intimidating others into doing the same–has also produced boycotts of Israeli cultural figures, businessmen, nongovernmental organizations and more.
Clearly, it's difficult to imagine Israeli-Palestinian peace breaking out as long as even talking to Israelis is taboo, to the extent that even in the "moderate" Palestinian party, someone running for office feels obligated to start boycotting his Israeli colleagues. It's hard to make peace with other people if you aren't willing to talk to them.
This [PA] curriculum rejects the legitimacy of Israel's existence (textbooks refer to "the so-called State of Israel"), justifies violence against it, defines such violence as a religious obligation and informs students that Jews and Zionists are irredeemably evil (one book, for instance, refers to "the robbing Jews"; another tells students that Israel "killed your children, split open your women's bellies, held your revered elderly men by the beard, and led them to the death pits"). These messages are then reinforced by the "educational" programs broadcast on the PA's official media, where Jews are described as "monkeys and pigs," "enemies of Allah" and the "most evil of creations," among other charming epithets.
The indoctrination effort is assisted by the fact that most Palestinians today have no firsthand knowledge to counteract the vicious incitement churned out daily by Palestinian schools and media. That's a result of the escalating terror that followed the PA's establishment in 1994 severely curtailed the daily interactions between Israelis and Palestinians that were commonplace until then. Those interactions made it easier for both sides to at least view the other as human beings.
Today, outside the construction industry, most Israelis never encounter a Palestinian unless they're doing army duty, and most Palestinians never encounter any Israelis other than soldiers. In other words, the only Israeli-Palestinian interactions that take place today are the kind that reinforces each side's view of the other as an enemy. That is precisely what the "anti-normalization" campaigners want, and why they castigate any other type of contact with Israelis as tantamount to treason.
It's going to take a long, long time, and probably a lot of pressure from the PA's Western donors, to reverse these decades of hate education. But until that happens, the chances of Israeli-Palestinian peace are considerably less than a snowball's chance in hell.

travel: moar las vegas | eat. drink. fly.
this is by request for mr baker who suggests "moar vegas posts" via twitter.
i am 13 sleeps away from my next trip to vegas and starting to get very excited.
it's currently 30+ degrees there. which is also known as "awesome pool weather".
the itinerary is not firm at all.
mostly we're thinking of spending every day at the pool and spending as little money as possible, which of course is never how vegas trips turn out in reality, but its nice to dream.
one thing that i'm very excited to check out is the changes to the harrahs blocks.
so the final look will be done in 2013 (i hope by may – so i can see it!) and it sounds like its really going to be something.
the project is called "Linq" and it is the ceasar entertainment group's effort to really move their properties into something a little more upscale.
also, a giant london-eye/ferris wheel esque addition!
normally i would include pictures to a post like this, but my work computer doesn't play nice with pictures for some reason.
anyways, i'll do some investigative reporting when i'm there and report back with my own photos of the progress.

Tituss Burgess Wants You to Buy Him a Glass of Pinot by Tituss
By Stacy Lambe 10:01 AM PST, March 11, 2016
"I never enjoyed pinot noir or had it as much as I've had it
in the last year," Tituss Burgess tells ETonline about the variety of red wine
that has become synonymous with his breakout Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
character, Titus Andromedon, thanks to his viral hit song, "Peeno Noir," which
just so happens to be "an ode to black penis."
"Every time I would go out to dinner or the bar, I would
inevitably be sent a complimentary glass of wine or bottle of pinot noir,"
he says.
MORE: Season 2 of 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Will Feature Elves and Puppies!
One year after the Tina Fey-produced series became a hit on
Netflix -- earning Burgess an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor
in a Comedy Series -- and over 1.4 million views of "Peeno Noir" on YouTube,
the actor embraced a joke than fans have latched onto with the launch of Pinot
by Tituss.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a website appeared with Burgess
cheekily pouring wine over a continuous loop, asking customers to click
"yassss" if they are 21 and over to buy a bottle of pinot noir priced at
$24.99. The reaction was immediate, with Burgess trending on social media the
day of the launch.
And his timing could not be better.
Burgess has developed something of a cult following for his
turn as Titus Andromedon, a flamboyant, would-be Broadway star who takes in
Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper), a recently freed Indiana Mole Woman, as his
roommate. Undeterred by failed auditions, the aspiring entertainer stages his own
unsanctioned, one-man, Off-Off Broadway production of The Lion King and
sings about... well, you know. (Season two, Burgess says, will see his
character exploring relationships, bringing out feelings that have lain
dormant.)
MORE: Tina Fey and Ellie Kemper Dish to ET About Hilarious Netflix Series
His cult fandom has also followed him to the stage, where Burgess originated the role of Sebastian in the 2007 Broadway adaptation of The Little Mermaid and has since earned Stephen Sondheim's approval to play The Witch in a 2015 regional production of Into the Woods.
"The fact that I was even at all on his radar -- enough for him to entrust such an important show into my care and that he felt safe enough to say that Tituss would do right by the role -- that did less for 30-something-year-old Tituss and more for 14-year-old me," Burgess says of Sondheim. "It satisfied that part of me that had hoped maybe one day I would in some way, shape, form, or fashion, be associated with that man."
'Kimmy Schmidt' Star Tituss Burgess Sings 'Into the Woods' for Stephen Sondheim
With his growing popularity and Sondheim's OK, Pinot by Tituss arrives ahead of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season two. (Orders will start shipping on March 15, one month prior to the premiere.)
But the 37-year-old actor is quick to point out that his wine -- while giving the fans what "they're asking for" -- is not related to the show. "The design of it is very much closer to Tituss Burgess than Titus Andromedon," he explains. "So when Kimmy expires many, many, many years from now, this can still live on."
The venture itself may actually be the first step in turning
Burgess into a brand. A full-fledged lifestyle company a la Gwyneth Paltrow? Maybe.
While the actor admits he has given thought to the idea, for now, he only hints
at what's to come next. "It has something to do with an article of clothing
that you always see me in," Burgess teases, seemingly bitten by the
entrepreneurial bug.
MORE: 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Parodies New York Fashion Week in Season 2 Teaser
With wine, possible clothing, and a desire to return to
Broadway ("I would be lying if I said that we were not trying to figure out
something for next spring"), one can only wonder if Burgess will ever become
too big for Andromedon. While flattered by the notion, Burgess shoots down the
idea -- after a loud, exasperated gasp.
"I will work for Tina Fey forever," Burgess says. "I'm not
one of those people to outgrow my initial blessings. I am well aware of my good
fortune, and I only hope to diversify so I can do what I'm already doing for
more people as opposed to being so large and so great that I no longer want to
do the thing that got me here."

Poach the figs in the Marsala. Place the figs in a saucepan, add the Marsala and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the figs are plump and most of the wine has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and cool on paper towels.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Break the chocolate into pieces and add to the butter, stirring as the butter melts. Remove from the heat and add the liqueur. If the sauce seizes (turns grainy and separates) stir in milk or cream by the tablespoon until the sauce becomes creamy once more. If you are not using the sauce right away, store it in a glass bowl or jar in the refrigerator until ready to use. If necessary, reheat very gently in a hot water bath or for 5-10 seconds in the microwave.
In a small bowl, mash together the gorgonzola and mascarpone. Form into small (3/4 in) balls.
To assemble: For each serving, slice 4 figs in half lengthwise. Arrange in a petal shape on the small dessert dish. Place cheese balls in the center of the petals. Gently dribble the chocolate sauce over the figs and the cheese balls. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
*I use Theo Ultimate Dark Chocolate which is 85% cacao and contains very little sugar. For a milder chocolate sauce, use a lighter chocolate.
Thanks for stopping by. I think you'll appreciate the combination of the dark richness of the figs, the savory taste of the pistachios and the bittersweet notes of the chocolate.
Fascinated by the combo. Thank you for sharing.

The Father of POS, Sunny King Returns New Project VEE Redefines Blockchain
This is a paid-for submitted press release. CCN does not endorse, nor is responsible for any material included below and isn't responsible for any damages or losses connected with any products or services mentioned in the press release. CCN urges readers to conduct their own research with due diligence into the company, product or service mentioned in the press release.
The underlying blockchain database VEE, created by long-time bitcoin geek Sunny King, has unveiled a white paper for the first time and announced that the mainnet will be online within a week. In the meantime, VEE token will be listed on top exchanges in a short time.
The full name of this project is called Virtual Economy Era. It aims to create an absolutely secure underlying infrastructure platform for blockchain database through technological innovation and innovations of consensus mechanism, so that companies using the VeeChain technology can focus on their own business instead of delving into coding issues. In this way, we can support the operation of trillions of blocks effectively in the future and build a new world of blockchain.
After financing at the beginning of the year, VEE project is now valued at $500 million US dollars. If it hits the exchange, it is expected to rank near the TOP 20 blockchain projects globally and be listed as one of the top public chains in the world.
Like Satoshi Nakamoto, a cryptocurrency pioneer, Sunny King invented PeerCoin and PrimeCoin, both of them ranked among top 10 in the world. By introducing the equity Proof of Stake consensus mechanism, he made great contributions to the development of cryptocurrency technology. In 2015, Sunny King led the team to set out again, with the hope of reducing the technical barriers and entry costs of blockchain further and introduce the technology to a wider range of applications.
After tremendous research and development, the blockchain database cloud VEE will finally be officially launched in September 2018. This time SunnyKing brings a new generation of consensus algorithm innovations, SPoS. Detailed SPoS technical documents will be published simultaneously with the mainnet, please look forward to the progress of VEE's official website.
By significantly reducing the cost of blockchain technology, VEE provides universal and personalized underlying database cloud support for blockchain projects with various application scenarios. VEE will make a breakthrough in accelerating the application of blockchain technology and supporting the use of blockchain in the future commercial society. Sunny King is the chief designer of the project, leading several cryptography senior engineers and database architects from silicon valley to develop in depth.
According to the development team in VEE, the decentralization mode transformation brought by blockchain as a database has strengthened privacy protection while reducing technology cost and improving data security. As the VEE of the blockchain database cloud, it needs to redefine the blockchain through the decentralized database cloud to promote the advent of the era of virtual economy.
The vision of VEE is that the future of blockchain lies not only in the multi-billion dollars of blockchain, but also in the multi-billion blocks, which will bring a new economic era to the world. According to the white paper, the VeeChain mainnet will eventually be capable of carrying four or more digits of TPS.
Compared with traditional blockchain projects, VEE mainly has the following innovative highlights:
The adoption of SPoS consensus algorithm It can support industrial TPS and reduce the operating cost of the whole system while solving the energy consumption problem.
Exclusive and Innovative cloud computing features It can generate blockchain effectively, reduce the cost of development of blockchain applications, and provide more developers with an efficient and convenient application development platform.
Modular construction It simplifies software upgrades in the entire ecosystem
Common database functionality Presenting data and information in a descriptive and integrated manner while supporting multiple consensus algorithms enables application developers to focus on business logic.
Smart Contract VEE platform plans to support both Ethereum and EOS smart contracts in a compatible manner. Virtual machines will be implemented in a modular manner so that applications can choose the type of smart contract they prefer; It will also assess and consider the growing number of other competitive smart contract systems.
At the same time, VEE platform also allows different applications to run in different blockchains. Realizing complete scalability isolation with other application systems in the same ecosystem, making VEE even more secure, flexible, compatible and open than current blockchain platforms.
The value of VEE ecosystem is to provide the underlying database cloud service for the applications of several hundreds of billion level projects in the area of artificial intelligence, digital assets, education, cross-linked transaction and smart contract in the near future. In this case, VEE will truly promote the advent of the era of global virtual economy and build a trillion-level blockchain platform. By that time, VEE will be worth $50 billion, $500 billion, or more.
Just as SunnyKing created POS in the past, which has changed the development history of blockchain, as well as the vision of VEE. It is believed that SunnyKing's third innovation in the blockchain world will completely change the future of blockchain and enable it to go deep into social Economy. People can indeed live a better life through blockchain technology and it will realize Virtual Economy Era in the future.

Lions' Slay: 'We've got same talent' as Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks defense is historically good, becoming the first team since the 1969-1971 Minnesota Vikings to lead the league in scoring defense for three straight seasons.
Yet Lions cornerback Darius Slay still doesn't see the Seahawks as being so far in front of the pack.
"We've got the same kind of talent they got," Slay told the Detroit Free Press. "They ain't too much different. They got a pass rush, they've got DBs, we've got DBs. They've got 'backers, we've got 'backers."
Slay is right to point out that the Lions were the league's top defense until late last season. Statistically, Detroit had an outrageous run defense and an underrated pass rush. But the Lions' defense could only do so much in the team's last two losses of the year against Green Bay and Dallas. And the Lions, of course, have lost Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley in the meantime during free agency.
The Lions' secondary was expected to be a huge weakness last season, but they held up well due to surprising seasons from Slay and safety James Ihedigbo, among others. They wound up being a pleasant surprise, but life could be tougher this season without Suh pushing the pocket on passing downs. They certainly don't match up with Seattle in depth up front or in the secondary.
The Lions' defense is one of the X-factors in the NFC North, and it wouldn't be surprising if they fell off dramatically from last year's highs. For the Lions' defense to truly be mentioned with Seattle, they need to excel year after year. And they need Slay to do his best Richard Sherman impression.

India added 111 MW of grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity and 7 MW of off-grid PV in September 2013, according to figures released by the nation's ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
This is a slight decline from the previous month but an improvement on prior months, and brings India to 2.08 GW of grid-tied and 139 MW of off-grid PV. This includes 395 MW of grid-tied and 14 MW of off-grid added from April 1st through September 30th, 2013.
Additionally, India added 100,000 square meters of solar water heating capacity, to bring the nation to a cumulative total of 7.27 million square meters. 270,000 of this has been added from April 1st through September 30th, 2013.
MNRE has finalized regulations for phase 2 of the nation's National Solar Mission (NSM), however Request for Selection (RfS) documentation has not yet been released as of the writing of this article.
NEW DELHI: The Solar Impulse - a revolutionary solar powered airplane which had completed its first cross-country journey in the USA in July - will make New Delhi and Varanasi its landing and departing destinations during its round the world mission in 2015.
Idea behind this Swiss-made airplane, which had completed its US mission without using a drop of fossil fuel on board, is to demonstrate the capabilities of clean technology and renewable energy.
The move comes at a time when the governments across the world are looking for alternatives of fossil fuel to not only fight the menace of climate change by drastically cutting greenhouse gas emissions but also to pull themselves out of the vicious trap of oil economy.
Gregory Blatt, head of communication of this project, who was in India last week to get various clearances for its New Delhi and Varanasi stopovers, told TOI that the Solar Impulse is a kind of tool to tell the world about power and potential of clean energytechnology.
Blatt said if an airplane could fly for such a long hour without using a drop of fossil fuel, then why can't a car run on solar power for 50 r more miles in one go.
"Solar Impulse is not designed to carry passengers, but to carry a message. If we can do it in the air, we can do it in our daily life using clean technology", he said, explaining how this solar powered scientific marvel serves as "an Ambassador for renewable energy".
The around the world mission flights will take place from beginning of March to end of the summer 2015. Landing and departing destinations are currently being identifiedfinalized in Europe, Gulf countries and China, depending on technical and operational considerations. In India, New Delhi and Varanasi have, however, been finalized for the mission.
Crossing the Pacific is expected to be the most difficult phase of this mission as pilot will have to fly five days non-stop during this leg of the trip.
Solar Impulse - having wingspan of a 747 aircraft, weight of a car and power of a scooter - is constructed in such a way that its thousands of solar panels across its wings can harness power from the sun during the day and its lithium-polymer batteries can store that energy for overnight trips.
Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, co-founders and pilots of the Solar Impulse, who had completed the US mission in July, will fly the airplane in different legs of landingdeparting destinations during the 2015 around the world mission.
Since each pilot will have to fly for four-five days during the circumnavigation of the globe, both of them will have to be trained in such a waycondition that they can fly the plane non-stop for five days.
The Solar Impulse had proved itself for the first time in 2010 when it successfully conducted its first-ever historical 26-hour flight. Subsequently in 2011, its first plane - HB SIA - flew to Brussels under the patronage of the European Union and was also invited as a special featured guest to the Paris-Le Bourget International Airshow.
Solar power will soon run Gurgaon railway station.
Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary Thursday laid the foundation stone for 25 KW solar power plant here, being undertaken under RITES' CSR and Sustainability Projects.
In a first, the solar power plant will be set up on the platform's roof where the panels will be placed and solar electricity generated, an official said.
Appreciating the efforts of RITES, the minister said of 365 days, India gets full sun for almost 300 days but the vast resource of solar energy potential remains unutilised.
On the development of the railway station, he said Gurgaon is known for its IT hubs, multi-stored shining buildings and railways will spare no efforts in making sure the station matches the rest of the infrastructure.
Chaudhry said by utilizing the platform roof, there is no issue of land acquisition and passengers can also get shelter from rain and sun while aesthetics of the station will improve.
The project, even if small, holds large potential and railways will pursue similar initiatives either under corporate social responsibilities (CSR) of its public sector undertakings or on railways' own initiative.
RITES chairman and managing director Rajeev Mehrotra said this is the first attempt to utilize a platform's attempt for placing panels and generating solar electricity.
"If replicated on a larger scale, it could help in reducing the Indian Railways' carbon footprint and achieving the target of sourcing at least 10 percent of energy from renewable sources like solar power and biomass," he said.
This solar plant is being installed with the assistance of BHEL electronics division, Bangalore and is fully funded by RITES.
The project, costing nearly Rs.60 lakh, will be completed by the end of 2013.
The successful completion of the project will open up new possibilities for these kinds of projects for the railways and RITES.
An energy audit tool that more accurately pinpoints potential energy savings while potentially costing 35% to 75% less than traditional audits is set to hit the multi-billion-dollar energy retrofit industry next year.
The simuwatt Energy Auditor software package was developed by the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in partnership with Denver-based software developer concept3D. simuwatt Energy Auditor replaces the clipboard-and-pencil approach of most building audits with a package that uses sophisticated, comprehensive computer modeling to find more potential energy savings.
The commercial buildings sector in America alone represents 7% of total energy consumption worldwide. Commercial buildings in the United States consume about $134 billion in electricity each year for lights, computers, office machines, appliances, and the like, according to the Energy Department's Buildings Energy Data Book. Even a modest reduction in electricity costs would mean huge savings.
At the individual building scale, a 200,000-square-foot office building that pays $2 per square foot in energy costs annually can save tens of thousands of dollars of net operating income by reducing consumption modestly. And that doesn't include the benefits of reducing greenhouse gases and increasing the comfort level of building inhabitants.
The increasing share of Vacuum Tube Collector (VTC) systems imported to India took the Indian government to specify the standard requirements for evacuated solar collector tubes for non-concentrating solar thermal collectors and related storage tanks.
The industry and the manufacturers welcomed the publication of the new standards, released for public debate in early March 2013, as the aim of the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is to keep low-quality systems out of the sector.
The MNRE had been working for a long time on devising new standards which now are imposed to manufacturers importing the tubes to show reports of testing laboratories from the country of origin. These reports will be approved by agencies like the Regional Test Center.
The MNRE has released three sets of standards: Evacuated tube standards (MNRE STD 01:2013), Storage tank standards (MNRE STD 02:2013) and System standards (MNRE STD 03:2013).
Storage tanks with a capacity of up to 500 litres can be tested every two years either at an approved laboratory or at the manufacturer's laboratory. Tests for tank capacities of more than 500 liters are to be carried out as per agreement between the manufacturer and the user. The selective coating of the tube is to have an absorptivity of 0.92 or higher at AM 1.5 and an emissivity of less than 0.07 when tested. A label on each evacuated solar tube, showing the manufacturer's name or logo, the batch number and the date of production is also required.
The Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd. (KREDL) is considering the possibility of making solar energy available in remote hamlets at around 90 per cent subsidised rate.
Disclosing this while addressing members of the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), KREDL managing director G.V. Balaram said the idea was to get 60 per cent subsidy from the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) in addition to the 30 per cent subsidy from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Amorphous cells are munufactured by placing a thin film of amorphous (non crystalline) silicon onto a wide choice of surfaces. These are the least effient and least expensive to produce of the three types. Due to the amorphous nature of the thin layer, it is flexible, and if manufactured on a flexible surface, the whole solar panel can be flexible.
One characteristic of amorphous solar cels is that their power output reduces over time, particularly during the first few months, after which time they are basically stable. The quoted output of an amorphous panel should be that produced after this stabalisation.
Polycrystalline (or Multicrystalline) cells are effectively a slice cut from a block of silicon, consisting of a large number of crystals.
They have a speckled reflective appearance and again you can you see the thickness of the slice. These cells are slightly less efficient and slightly less expensive than monocrystalline cells and again need to be mounted in a rigid frame.

Q: Split dictionary by keys in Python I would like to clarify this code, especially variables. I am a newbie in python.
GOAL:
I would like split data dictionary pairs by keys of this dictionary. The output is list of lists of class Ward. I think, my solution is too complicated, is another better solution?
class Ward:
    def __init__(self, code, data):
        self.code = code
        self.data = data

def prepare_data_for_templates(cs, h, f):

    print "Pairs: " + str(sorted(pairs.keys())) + "\n"

    #output data - ba, tt...
    OUT = []

    BA = []
    TT = []

    for k, v in sorted(pairs.iteritems()):
        #print k + "\n", v
        if int(k) < 199:
            BA.append( Ward(k, v )
        elif int(k) < 299:
            TT.append( Ward(k, v )

    OUT.append(BA)
    OUT.append(TT)

    for j in OUT:
        for i in j:

A: "Clean up this (working) code" is generally not a good SO question because it's very vague.
I've downvoted, but, in this particular case, you have a few things that can be done right off the bat.

Use New Style Classes, or Tuples
Your Ward class appears to be unnecessary.
Unless there is other functionality there that you are not showing, you should just create tuples.
Instead of Ward(k, v) just use the tuple (k, v).
If you do need the class, at least write it as a new style class, class Ward(object):
The syntax that you have used, class Ward: is deprecated and supported only for historical reasons.
Keep Data External from Code
Right now, you have a giant, messy, hard to work with variable,
pairs = {'201': ['
Dunajská Streda	201
\n', '
Dunajský Klátov	201
\n'], '205': ['
Košolná	205
\n', '
Leopoldov	205
\n', '
Trnava	205
\n'], '705': ['
Pušovce	705
\n', '
Radatice	705
\n', '
Rokycany	705
\n'], '304': ['
Rudnianska Lehota	304
\n', '
Sebedražie	304
\n', '
Seč	304
\n', '
Šútovce	304
\n'], '305': ['
Selec	305
\n'], '103': ['
Modra	103
\n', '
Pezinok	103
\n'], '101': ['
Bratislava - Nové Mesto	101
\n', '
Bratislava - Podunajské Biskupice	101
\n'], '806': ['
Plechotice	806
\n', '
Trebišov	806
\n']}

This is pretty much impossible to sustain if you want to add data, or the data changes.
This looks like partially parsed HTML of some kind, so that might be a better form in which you store your data, and let your python code parse the HTML every time it runs.
If you want to keep processed data, and not the original HTML source, I'd recommend putting this into a JSON file; something like this:
{
  "201": {
    "name": "Dunajsky",
    "municipalities": [
      "Streda",
      "Klatov"
    ]
  },
  "205": {
    "name": "Kosoln",
    "municipalities": {
      "Leopoldov",
      "Trnava"
    }
  }
}

Your data is pretty dirty, so this is just my best guess at the structure that you are trying to represent.
This will make your life much easier moving forward.
You can then parse this data using the python json library:
Don't Make a List of Lists
As far as I can tell, you are trying to sort data.
There is no need for a list of lists for this purpose -- it's unnecessarily complicated, and, as a result, confusing.
Consider something more like this:
with open('wards.json', 'r') as f:
    json_obj = json.load(f)

# assume the structure above is used for the JSON
# don't do any validation (because that would require more work with something
# like a JSON schema, and I'm too lazy for that)

# convert the object to a list of tuples, and convert codes from strings to ints
code_list = []
for (code, data) in json_obj.items():
    code_list.append((int(code), data))

# sorting tuples does a dictionary-order sorting, so this will sort on keys,
# then on the data components of the tuples (which presumably don't have
# meaningful ordering)
return sorted(code_list)

A slightly cleaner version of the conversion into code_list would use a comprehension:
code_list = [(int(code), data) for (code, data) in json_obj.items()]

*"What will happen to China?", literally "Whither China?", "Where is China going?", in Chinese Zhongguo Xiang He Chu Qu 中国向何处去 was the title of a political essay published in Big Character Posters in 1968, written by the 19-year-old Yang Xiaokai 杨小凯 who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his text. In the end he became an economist and taught at universities in China, USA and Australia (online sources).

There were demonstrations in Vienna yesterday. I went during the day, but in the evening I was too tired. It was important in the evening, of course. They let far-right organizations march through the city, canvass at universities and so on, aggressively protected by police. Anti-fascist protesters have a hard stand. Police brutality is fatal sometimes. A young subway sprayer was beaten into a coma by Wiener Linien public transport security and police in early April, and has not woken up since then. In the evening of June 3rd, the East Asian Studies department at Vienna university held an open discussion. The most interesting thing was three young female students who had interviewed Fang Zheng 方政 via Skype. He was that athlete whose legs were severed by a tank when he helped a female student get out of the way in the morning of June 4th, 1989. He became a disabled athlete and set records. But they were always worried he would get too much publicity, so he was barred from some international events. He kept quiet during the Olympics in 2008, so that he would get his passport and could leave in 2009. Lives in San Francisco, chairs an exile organization there. That presentation was great. The North Korea specialist made some interesting remarks, and in the end a Chinese professor finally made a brief personal statement. Vienna University vice president Prof. Weigelin-Schwiedrzik asked the students present what they would have done, if they would have stayed on the square under the threat of martial law. It is a romantic question – the protests in 1989 are always romanticized, as if it had been one great student party. Students took the lead, but the most important thing about any nationwide protest is popular participation, workers and many common people, not elites. Same with Taiwan's recent Sunflower Movement. Anyway, I raised my hand and said I could not know what I would have done. Several people said so. I said I was in Taiwan in 1989, they also had demonstrations, with different aims. The February 28th, 1947 massacre in Taiwan had not yet been acknowledged. What I should have said when I raised my hand was that everyone present should think about taking part in the anti-fascist protests the next day in Vienna, on June 4th, 2014.
