Der Bahnhof Ahrensburg ist der größte und wichtigste Bahnhof der Stadt Ahrensburg im Südosten von Schleswig-Holstein. Er liegt an der 1865 eröffneten Bahnstrecke Lübeck–Hamburg.

Geschichte
Im Jahre 1865 wurde im Gutsgebiet des 1314 erstmals urkundlich erwähnten Dorfes Woldenhorn die Bahnstation "Ahrensburg" an der Eisenbahnstrecke Hamburg–Lübeck eröffnet. Dies bewog die Gemeinde, den Ort Woldenhorn in Ahrensburg umzubenennen. Durch die schnelle Bahnanbindung nach Hamburg entwickelte sich Ahrensburg zu einem beliebten Ausflugsziel und Villenvorort im Hamburger Umland und die Einwohnerzahl stieg an.

Von Ende 2006 bis Ende 2008 wurde die Strecke Hamburg–Lübeck–Lübeck-Travemünde – und damit auch der Bahnhof Ahrensburg – elektrifiziert. Der fahrplanmäßige elektrische Betrieb wurde am 14. Dezember 2008 aufgenommen, nachdem bereits am 1. Oktober 2008 der Strom eingeschaltet worden war.

Im Jahr 2019 wurde Ahrensburg als einer von 16 Bahnhöfen bundesweit in das Projekt "Zukunftsbahnhof" der Deutschen Bahn AG (DB) aufgenommen. Dabei soll herausgefunden werden, was den Fahrgästen und Bahnhofsbesuchenden das Leben erleichtert und die Zeit am Bahnhof angenehmer und nutzbarer macht. Durch unterschiedliche Angebote und Services wird die Station besser in das Bahnhofsumfeld eingebunden.

Im Juni 2021 eröffnete die DB einen rund um die Uhr geöffneten digitalen Markt für Reisebedarf direkt auf dem Bahnsteig.

Als Teil des Projektes "Zukunftsbahnhof" startete Mitte Juni 2022 in Ahrensburg unter dem Titel "Rad+" ein neues digitales Angebot für nachhaltige Mobilität. Hierbei kann man über die gleichnamige App der Deutschen Bahn den Weg vom und zum Bahnhof mit dem Fahrrad zurücklegen und die gefahrenen Kilometer bei ausgewählten Partnern rund um den Bahnhof in Prämien eintauschen.

Bedienung

Bahnverkehr
Ahrensburg ist über die Bahnstrecke Lübeck–Hamburg an das überregionale Eisenbahn-Streckennetz angebunden. Bis auf die wenigen dort verkehrenden Fernverkehrszüge sowie die Regional-Express-Linie RE 8 halten alle über diese Strecke verkehrenden Züge auch im Bahnhof Ahrensburg. Somit gibt es Direktverbindungen u. a. bis nach Hamburg und Lübeck sowie im Sommerhalbjahr auch bis nach Fehmarn.

Busverkehr
Für eine Stadt dieser Größe hat Ahrensburg ein vergleichsweise dichtes Stadtbus-Liniennetz mit fünf innerstädtischen und sechs regionalen Buslinien im Tagesverkehr sowie mehreren Buslinien im Spät- und Nachtverkehr, das hauptsächlich von dem Verkehrsunternehmen Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein (VHH) betrieben wird.

Östlich des Empfangsgebäudes befindet sich ein kleiner Busbahnhof mit 3 Bussteigen, von welchem die Stadt- und Regionalbuslinien in die umliegenden Städte, Dörfer und Gemeinden verkehren. Darüber hinaus liegt ein weiterer Bussteig in der am Bahnhof endenden Stormarnstraße. Busse zum U-Bahnhof Ahrensburg West fahren von der Haltestelle in der unmittelbar am Bahnhof vorbeiführenden Bahnhofstraße ab.

Tarif
Wie ganz Schleswig-Holstein liegt auch Ahrensburg im Tarifgebiet des Nahverkehrsverbundes Schleswig-Holstein (NAH.SH). Als Teil des Agglomerationsraums um Hamburg liegt Ahrensburg zudem im Gebiet des Hamburger Verkehrsverbundes (HVV). Daher findet bei Fahrten nach Hamburg oder Bad Oldesloe der HVV-Tarif Anwendung, während bei Fahrten bis Lübeck oder darüber hinaus der landesweite NAH.SH-Tarif genutzt werden muss.

Weitere Bahnstationen in Ahrensburg
Neben dem Bahnhof Ahrensburg gibt es auf dem Stadtgebiet mit dem Haltepunkt Ahrensburg-Gartenholz seit November 2009 eine weitere Bahnstation, ebenfalls an der Strecke Hamburg–Lübeck im nördlichen Ahrensburger Stadtteil Gartenholz gelegen. Aufgrund Nachbesserungen zum Einhalten von EU-Vorschriften verzögerte sich seine Inbetriebnahme um ein Jahr auf den Fahrplanwechsel 2010/2011 am 12. Dezember 2010. Er wird seitdem von den Regionalbahnzügen der Linie RB 81 angefahren.

Darüber hinaus bestehen auf Ahrensburger Stadtgebiet seit November 1921 die U-Bahnhöfe Ahrensburg West (bis 1952 "Ahrensburg") und Ahrensburg Ost (bis 1952 "Hopfenbach") an der ehemaligen Walddörferbahn (heute Teil der Hamburger U-Bahn-Linie U1).

Zukunft

Seit längerem im Gespräch ist der Bau einer S-Bahn-Linie S4. Hierzu soll zwischen Hamburg Hasselbrook und Ahrensburg-Gartenholz parallel zur Strecke Hamburg–Lübeck eine eigene Strecke für die S-Bahn Hamburg gebaut werden. Die Fertigstellung wird nicht vor 2027 erwartet.

Brattleboro Reformer Article: Wilmington hailed for Irene recovery efforts
By CHRIS MAYS / Reformer Staff
Posted: 08/30/2013 09:32:28 PM EDT | Updated: about 3 hours ago

WILMINGTON — As you look down Main Street, activity is steadily building after two years since Tropical Storm Irene ruined many of the downtown businesses.
On Aug. 28, at Gov. Peter Shumlin's press conference at Memorial Hall on the day of the second anniversary, people gathered to hear the message that Vermonters had worked together to rebuild the communities that had been destroyed by Irene.
"It was a good way to close the two-year celebration because he was here right after the flood and here again last year, when they met at Dot's to do the reconstruction of Dot's," said Wilmington Town Manager Scott Murphy. "This is a closure issue for the state."
One resident had remarked that the day was similar to the day after the storm: sunny with blue skies and a comfortable breeze. Together, the community is still picking up the pieces.
Employees of Dot's Restaurant, which is scheduled to open next month, handed out free bowls of their famous homemade chili. They had set up a table outside their building, which had been destroyed by Irene.
A special fundraising effort called Rebuild Dot's had assisted with costs associated with reopening its location in Wilmington.
The Wilmington Fund Vermont was established by Dan and Tamara Kilmurray, two long-time second homeowners. They have worked with residents whose efforts have assisted in the funding of several projects, including the re-paving of a village parking lot.
The Friends of the Valley is a group made up of second homeowners who wanted to support recovery efforts after Irene. The Wilmington Flood Relief was another charity created to aid the town during the days following the storm. Both were named during the press conference
While places like Bartleby's Bookstore and Wahoo's Eatery had reopened almost immediately with monumental recovery efforts, there are still empty storefronts that Shumlin had noted.
Since Wilmington's village was approved for the Vermont Downtown Program, the organization Wilmington Works was created. It has worked with other groups to attempt to make use of those buildings and accomplish other goals towards restoring vibrancy.
"One of the best outcomes of Irene has been the ability of people to work together and solve problems today," said Wilmington Works Board Co-Chair John Gannon. "We can really move this town forward in the next couple of months, next couple of years. We look forward to making the town of Wilmington a better place."
Fellow Co-Chair Lisa Sullivan spoke of how the community was back to work putting itself back together. She mentioned the long term recovery efforts that several residents are enthusiastic about.
"I wish I could say the economy has recovered but there is still a lot of work," Sullivan said. "There are still too many empty buildings, which is the primary focus of recovery (now)."
State Treasurer Beth Pearce briefly mentioned the story of how Wilmington Town Clerk Susie Haughwout saved important records of the town. Her car was destroyed on Main Street due to the flooding that occurred after she rescued the documents.
Haughwout's most recent efforts have been focused on making all the town records digital to prevent the risk of destruction.
"This is a success story that came out of Wilmington," Pearce said of the town's recovery efforts.
Murphy told the Reformer that there were still at least a couple of people waiting on buyout programs to be completed. But as far as a municipality, the Whites Road Bridge is the final recovery project for the town. It is slated to be done by the end of September.
"We're happy to be done with Irene and looking forward to moving forward," he said.
State Sen. Bob Hartwell weighed in on the efforts as well. He has lived in Wilmington since the middle of April.
"Based on what we see, I think we're going to go a very far way," Hartwell concluded.

Fundraising event a big success for Wilmington group
by Mike Eldred

Rep. Peter Welch, actress Meryl Streep, Gov. Peter Shumlin, and Hermitage owner Jim Barnes were all smiles during a fundraiser dinner for the Wilmington Fund VT at the Hermitage on Saturday evening.
WILMINGTON- Members of the Wilmington Fund VT are celebrating the success of last Saturday evening's fundraising events.
The evening kicked off at the Hermitage Club with an exclusive dinner with special guest, actress Meryl Streep. Also in attendance were Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin and Congressman Peter Welch. The fundraising dinner was sold out, with 115 guests paying between $1,000 and $5,000 per plate. Donors paying for the $2,500 and $5,000 plates also had their photos taken with Streep.
Streep was at the event at the behest of her friend, Wilmington Fund VT founder and president Dan Kilmurray. Kilmurray says he has known Streep's family for years. "Her brother and I met and became dear friends when I was about 18," Kilmurray said. "I met her when she graduated from Vassar. When I was in the process of launching this fundraising event, I asked her if she would help."
During an after-dinner chat hosted by Kilmurray's wife and co-founder of Wilmington Fund VT, Tamara Kilmurray, Streep said that one of the reasons she was willing to help the Wilmington Fund was because she was familiar with the town. After she left Dartmouth College for Vassar, she said, she continued to travel between the two colleges on trips to visit her boyfriend at Dartmouth. "Wilmington was my halfway point," she said. "I used to stop at a little ice cream place on Route 9 that isn't there anymore (Gene's KreeMee)."
Streep also found an unexpected connection to the area. Rep. Ann Manwaring told her that the bottles of Vermont maple syrup on the tables were donated by local business owner Ed Metcalfe, who had attended elementary school with Streep. "Oh, little Eddie Metcalfe?" Streep said. "Is he here?" But Metcalfe wasn't in attendance.
In a brief address to donors, Rep. Peter Welch recalled the devastation he saw in Wilmington on his first visit after Tropical Storm Irene. "I remember talking to Steve Butler at North Star Bowl, where he showed me the mud line on the wall that marked the high point of the flood."
Shumlin also recalled his first visit to the town, just hours after flood waters receded, when he flew in by helicopter with Gen. Michael Dubie. At that time, valley towns were still virtually cut off from the rest of the state because all of the major routes had been washed out.
In thanking those who attended the dinner, Kilmurray remarked that Wilmington has made a lot of progress in its recovery from the flood. He introduced John and Patty Reagan, who are nearing completion of an extensive rebuild of their downtown landmark, Dot's Restaurant. Kilmurray also introduced Marsha and Barry Reardon, who donated the walking bridge in Wilmington Village, which ties the new village trail to a riverside trail that will terminate at the Fairview Avenue picnic area.
The dinner was followed by an outdoor concert by local musician Colby Dix and headliner Joan Osborne. Kilmurray said the concert attracted another 175 donors, who paid $100 per ticket.
Although the fund hasn't released any figures from the fundraiser, Kilmurray and other board members say they're "very pleased" with the success of the evening. "We were blessed with the weather," said Kilmurray. "Everything went perfectly. We had a lot riding on this, and it was important to meet our goals and financial commitments. It turned out to be very successful." Kilmurray credited Hermitage innkeeper Steve O'Hern and event manager Rebecca Lewis for much of the evening's success. "It would have been impossible to put on that event without them."
Kilmurray says it was time for a fundraiser for which the proceeds hadn't been earmarked for a specific project. When he and his wife started the fund, the initial fundraising was done through a letter he sent out to friends, asking for their help in supporting the town that had just been devastated by flooding. A second fundraiser, a barbecue, raised money specifically to keep supporting Dot's Restaurant.
Although Kilmurray says the event might have yielded more donations if it had been held in Greenwich, CT, he said it was important to have the event in Vermont, not only to bring people into the area, but also to make the event accessible to people in the valley. Although the cost of donations to the dinner might have been out of the question for many local residents, the concert was priced so that locals could also attend – and there were many more local faces in the crowd at the concert.
"I really wanted this to happen in Vermont," Kilmurray says. "I wanted people in the area to be able to come and enjoy the concert, to be able to come and have a good evening. I wanted it to be a rallying cry for the town; for everyone who has been through so much."
But Kilmurray says he realizes that not everyone in the valley could afford to go to one of the events.
In addition to physical recovery work, the fund also strongly supports businesses and general economic development. To that end, the fund has contributed to the creation of the municipal parking lot on West Main Street, the Moving Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, and Wilmington Works, the nonprofit organization created as part of the Wilmington Downtown Designation program.
Although flood cleanup and the town's physical recovery may be well underway, Kilmurray says there's still a lot for the fund to do – which includes getting businesses into empty buildings. "There are still a lot of essential services that don't exist – there's no coffee shop, no bakery. There's a ton of work to be done, and our future is to get the essential services back into the village. It would be nice to declare victory, but we're just a third of the way there – a year and a half into a five-year project."
Board member Julie Lineberger says the fund is also seeking business owners, and potential business owners, to work with. She says grant requests have to meet the fund's mission, the long-term economic viability of the village. Lineberger says one of the goals is to find businesses to reoccupy empty commercial spaces in downtown buildings. "If anyone is interested in opening a business in one of those buildings, we can offer financial assistance," Lineberger said. "All people need to do is send us a grant request letting us know what the shortfall of money is, along with their business plan. We don't offer full funding, but we can offer supplemental funding."

Thank You!!! 20 July 13 Fundraiser THANK YOU!
Meryl Streep & Tamara Kilmurray • Photo by Carolyn Bates
The Wilmington Fund VT extends its sincere appreciation to its generous supporters, state and local leaders, the staff at The Hermitage Inn and Meryl Streep for contributing to what we thought was a very special night in the Deerfield Valley.
The event earlier this month was our most ambitious fundraiser and so many people rose to the occasion. Money raised that night through a fantastic dinner, for which gracious Oscar-winning Streep served as hostess; an energetic concert by opener Colby Dix and headliner Joan Osborne; and a silent auction will now be reinvested in Wilmington as it continues to recover from the damage left by Tropical Storm Irene and grow into a more vibrant, diverse economy and community.
The presence of Gov. Peter Shumlin and Rep. Peter Welch underscored the importance of this period of redevelopment here – and the opportunities that could come from it. We thank them for coming.We also thank all of the attendees for their commitment to the town of Wilmington.
The Hermitage staff, especially Rebecca Lewis and Steve O'Hearn, went above and beyond to make sure guests had a good time, and Barry Weisblatt from Whiteleaf Productions helped produce a top-notch show.
Wilmington is "where amazing happens."

7.15.13 Brattleboro Reformer: Joan Osborne Concert
Joan Osborne concert to benefit village
Posted: 07/15/2013 03:00:00 AM EDT
Monday July 15, 2013WILMINGTON — Seven-time Grammy Award nominee Joan Osborne is coming to play at the Hermitage Inn as a fundraiser that will benefit the village of Wilmington.
"It's going to be such an intimate setting to see her in," said Wilmington Fund VT Board Secretary Julie Lineberger. "I think it's going to be phenomenal."
On July 20, Osborne will play for a maximum of 300 ticket holders. Local musician Colby Dix will take the stage before her, playing an acoustic set. Organizers had contacted Osborne about the concert. She had the date open and agreed to perform at a reduced rate.
The proceeds will go to benefit the Wilmington Fund VT, which was created in response to the damage of Tropical Storm Irene.
Dan and Tamara Kilmurray started the fund, which currently has a board made up of nine people. The board raises money to assist businesses and projects in the downtown village of Wilmington, where Irene had a lasting effect.
"So far, we've assisted in the funding of nine projects and/or businesses reopening or opening for the first time since Irene," said Lineberger.
The Wilmington Fund VT supplies grants to businesses in the village district as well as projects that go towards enhancing its economic recovery.
It has funded improvements to a parking lot and setting up lighting for the property. Funds were also used to assist with the Vietnam Moving Wall Memorial in June.
Independent Television and Film Festival Organizer Phil Gilpin Jr. gained the support of the board after finding places within the village where some of the festival's events could be held. Now, the festival will take place in both Dover and Wilmington.
The Wilmington Fund VT Board recently assisted the town of Wilmington with receiving its official downtown designation status.
"After this concert, we'll go full force on what our next big project will be in the village," said Lineberger.
Last year, there was a similar fundraising event. The proceeds went specifically towards the reopening of Dot's Restaurant.
This year's concert will be held in a tent at the Hermitage Inn at 25 Handle Road in West Dover. Tickets are $100, which also includes wine and beer, and are available through TheWilmingtonFundVT.EventBrite.com.
The proceeds will go towards different projects that the Wilmington Fund VT Board has its eye on.
Interested parties submit grant applications. The board reviews the applications, which contain business plans. Then, the board talks with the owners and sees if the project should be given its support.
As of July 11, more than 150 tickets had been sold. Organizers are anticipating the concert to be sold out soon.

Ohio Author J.J. Philips Spreads Parental Bloodshed
Posted on May 18, 2017 by Mike Ritchie in Artist / Musician, Artist News, Artist Signings, Books / Literature, Interviews, writers // 0 Comments

J.J. Philips knows how to weave a memorable story, telling a tale from within based on life experiences. Drawing from inner darkness she creates and customizes characters to her exact specifications. Though, according to her, the characters do talk back sometimes.
The Colorado native has resided in the Buckeye State for years, four of which were spent on rewrites of the same number during the eight year Parental Bloodshed project with a re-write every two years.
Not everyone can successfully meld together a story about female supremacist cannibals who move to a mid-western city and make it must read. The story is set in the fictional city of Parkersburg, influenced by the industrial factory feel of Dayton, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh among others.
The genesis of the idea came from listening to House of 1000 Corpses and Rob Zombie. "I love him and people can make fun of me all they want, I don't care. Thunder Kiss '65 is my fav," she laughs.
The idea of nature vs nurture is a prominent theme throughout the book, to find out which is stronger in the individual.
The Unshaven Modcast was recently quoted saying, "There's no warm up, she just drops you in that world, boom, you're there." Parental Bloodshed also won SQ Horror Magazine's Horror Novel of the Year in 2016.
For curious readers, it's more like Hannibal 'normal' with elements of sophistication than Texas Chainsaw or The Devil's Rejects, though Philips was influenced by Zombie. By all outward appearances, the characters are a traditional family, the rest you'll have to read about.
Philips explains the main characters, "A female supremacist may or may not see any use in a man whatsoever. They don't see men as equal or even human in a lot of ways."
The main characters or 'the family' are (Sarah, Victoria, Mary, Daryl) with Heather written as support. Sub-characters include Vietnam vets Arthur and Neightball with Shelly and Lilly appearing later. "The main characters (and Arthur) are facets on my personality and they've been broken off, added to and expounded upon into actual feasible humans, but they're all me." The rest are inspired by other personalities she's met, combining traits of different people.
Sarah, ironically, is a vegetarian, and a bit of a rebel. While she's eating salad the rest are munching on body parts, she gets called Rabbit a lot.
Though even minimally, in the family's world, there are some uses for men. "The way it's done, there are some practical uses, but it's very few and far between, they're like cattle. That's at least how they view it." They prey on people who are forgotten and wouldn't be missed. "They view men like men view cattle."
Philips lays out a provocative body count in her pages though she can't release or discuss details. There's an accumulated rough estimate but no real figures.
While men are par for killing, women are highly regarded and only killed in necessity but not in the same manner or reason.
To get into the mindset of the women, if a man was around to do a job or service and would 'be missed' they're probably safe. They would walk in and out of the house unharmed unless they did some 'exploring.'
So, the obvious question, why cannibals? "It's a way of life," Philips says. "They don't see anything wrong or different with their behavior. It's just normal everyday things for them."
It's based in realism, "The goal is to show the depravity of humans," she explains. "It's based in a real world idea that this could be happening in your neighbor's basement. It could be happening down the street, the nightmare next door idea."
She also experiments with unseen human nature. "You don't really know anything about anyone other than what they're willing to tell you. It's really true for most people. We keep the things we want to ourselves. We only let out what we want people to see. Who we are and what's behind closed doors might be totally different."
Pass that threshold or door is where normal ends, or the idea of normalcy.
The book comes wrapped in butcher paper like a piece of meat and is more than just a marketing gimmick. "I want you to experience and consume it. There's a really, really cool butcher shop and deli in it. It's like, when you went to the butcher shop, they'd hand you these packages with the name of the place on it."
The paper is also more durable and better quality than a dust jacket she assures.
The term 'parental' in the title is amazing, once you read it. After reading, if you look at the tray in the group shot, it will make sense to you along with the butcher paper and sticker.
A sequel was written but she burned most of the script due to lack of quality content save for a few ideas. "I'm really melodramatic, I took what I wanted from it then got rid of it. I actually have the ashes of the sequel."
The burned remains of a few charred pages sit encased in a jar as a keepsake. "It makes for a cool decoration and people ask me about it." The sequel is coming along 'glacially.'
"When I do rewrites I'll take some ideas or the idea of something and just rewrite the whole thing." The car in the story has stayed the same through all four versions, a black '69 Chevy Chevelle named Lynx with leather interior. It's also a highly effective tool for what they do, customized for use. A Jeep Wrangler named Vixen is introduced later.
The first run sold out but a second printing is due out late summer, available on her site and Clash Dayton.
She'll put identifiable music in your head in several scenes, "It's really cool, there are several scenes that are very musically driven. It's very dialogue driven as well."
On the graphic content, "If you could make a book NC-17, this would be it. It's an X-rated book with blood, gore, sexuality, drug use and the coolest strip club on the planet." The lines between hero and villain are blurred. Most have enjoyed the world she's created. Some of the characters do things we only wish we could sometimes. If it were on TV it would have to be on a pay channel or Netflix." She's been told several times, it reads like a movie.
In one scene above all, "I had a couple people tell me I turned their stomachs. So obviously I'm good at that," she laughs. Some of her male friends looked at her differently after reading it. "I had a couple guys stop talking to me (which amused more than offended), but yeah, it's very graphic." Her mom won't read it and with her permission Philips sold her copy.
Writing is her therapy, "I'm not a violent person. I started, writing in a journal. It was a way to get everything out and a way to move on with my life." The last two rewrites were very different than the first three. The second was more plot-driven, the third got into the 'meat' of the story. It all came together in the finale.
"I write from a place of personal tragedy. When I finish things like this, it's extremely emotionally overwhelming for me." After it was done, she purged, "I sat back, and thought, I did it, that's it. I cried for a while and that was awesome." It was a cleansing of the soul.

Even when she's in the zone, she makes herself take breaks or else she'll get caught in the process and forget to eat, sleep and live. "I'm naturally a night person and it's not good for getting things done."
Her writing draws stylistic inspiration from Stephen King's book On Writing. "It gave me permission, no matter how crazy the stuff in my head was, [he] gave me permission to write that."
She reads H.P. Lovecraft to get a break from her own brain. "There's nothing that really scares me but there are movies I enjoy." She's a big fan of Eli Roth's The Green Inferno. Though, as a child, The Watcher in the Woods scared her. "I wouldn't get out of my bed at night. It scared the ever living crap out of me as a kid and it's embarrassing to admit because it's a Disney movie," she laughs.
She re-watched it later in life, feeling uncomfortable but not scared. "It was more like, wow I can't believe Disney made this."
She's been to movie conventions before as a fan, realizing you need to have something that sets you apart from everything else. "It's ridiculously hard."
As odd as it sounds, she started the Parental Bloodshed experience, selling copies in local bars. Last year was her first convention as a vendor. "I learned it's really about interaction. I went to previous [conventions] and people were always looking down at you because you're seated." She found sitting on a bar stool eye level was more engaging for conversation and interaction.
It was also an educational experience having just the small group picture as advertisement. "I was across from a woman who posed nude with masking tape over her nipples and a skull over her crotch." Hundreds of pictures of her in different poses decorated her booth. "When people walked by my picture, they would cover their kid's eyes but walking by hers, they didn't do anything."
Philips acknowledges there's a certain double standard or societal acceptance level between male and female nudity.
She's done conventions this year in Sharonville and Parental Bloodshed: The Bloody Tour will join the dead in Louisville, KY for a weekend in early September.
The group shot was a fun shoot. There was electricity in the room. They were instructed not to smile. "Everybody wanted to do the bench," at the Sharonville convention.
Philips sometimes has to deal with her creations rebelling in mind and on paper. "I get in fights with them sometimes. When you're in this world, you're in complete control because you're God. You make these characters into everything they are."
Sometimes the characters argue with her on their direction and motivation. "If I write something that doesn't fit, they yell back at me. They're like, no I'm not gonna do this, I'm like yes you are and they're like no I'm not. How are you gonna argue with me, I'm God [here]," she laughs.
"Arguing with characters is absolutely normal for me. They have a life of their own with their own being."
Philips looks forward to spreading more bloodshed in 2017. Keep up to date on news and appearances here.

HANGZHOU ("heaven of the earth") is the capital and the most populous city of Zhejiang Province in east China. It is a financial centre in the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta, and a traffic hub for southeast China.
Over the past decade, Hangzhou has earned recognition from investors for its remarkable economic development, and the city's economic strength continuously ranks among the top ten medium to large cities in the country.
In 2012, Hangzhou's GDP exceeded RMB 780.4 billion and grew at an annual rate of 9 percent.
Industry plays a vital role in Hangzhou's economic development, and the city has constructed a diverse manufacturing system with the following five pillar industries:
Electronics and information;
Medical and chemical engineering;
Mechanical manufacturing;
Textile and garment;
Food and beverage.
In addition to manufacturing, the city has a solid agricultural foundation. Thanks to its rich land, subtropical climate, lakes and mountains, Hangzhou is renowned as the "Land of Fish and Rice", "Tea Capital" and "Home of Silk".
Development Zones
Development zones in Hangzhou have comprehensive service systems designed to assist corporations seeking to establish and develop in the zone simultaneously. These systems provide free "one-stop" service to domestic and foreign investors.
The main development zones in Hangzhou include:
Hangzhou Economic & Technological Development Zone
The Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone was approved as a national development zone in 1993. The zone has five pillar industries: machinery and electronics, biology and pharmaceutical, high-tech chemistry, textile and chemical fiber, and food processing.
Xiaoshan Economic & Technological Development Zone
The Xiaoshan Economic & Technological Development zone was approved as a national development zone in 1993. The zone has already built itself into a strong export-oriented model based on machinery, textile and garment industries. Specialized structures such as the women's garment industrial park and equipment manufacturing centre have been established in this zone.
Hangzhou Export Processing Zone (Hangzhou EPZ)
The Hangzhou Export Processing Zone was established in 2000 upon approval by the State Council. The zone mainly focuses on electronics, telecommunications and home appliance industries.
Hangzhou EPZ has great global links. It is close to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and Shanghai Port, which are two of China's most important deep water ports. The Hangzhou-Nanjing Expressway, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, the Hangzhou-Jinhua-Qutang Expressway and the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway run through the zone. Additionally, the zone also has a well-established railway network, as the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, the Xiaoshan-Ningbo Railway and the Xuancheng-Hangzhou Railway intersect in Hangzhou.
Electronics & telecommunications and automobile industries are the major industries in Hangzhou EPZ. In 2012, these two industries generated about 85% of the zone's industrial output value.
Hangzhou Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone
The Hangzhou Hi-Tech Industry Development Zone was established in 1990 and was approved as a national hi-tech zone in 1991. The zone has formed eight industrial clusters including software and service outsourcing, e-commerce, internet of things, cultural and creative industry, communication equipment manufacturing, Photovoltaic, IC design and digital television.
Hangzhou Qianjiang Economic Development Zone
The Hangzhou Qianjiang Economic Development Zone was established and approved as a provincial economic industrial zone by the Zhejiang Government in 2006. The zone is designated as the "Hangzhou High-Tech Industrial Park" and "Hangzhou Qianjiang Science and Technology City", focused on new material, biotechnology, chemical production and processing, and electronics manufacturing and packaging.

PETROZAVODSK, August 10. /TASS/. The 18th-century wooden Orthodox Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which burned to the ground in the city of Kondopoga located in Russia's northwestern Karelia Region, could be restored, Svetlana Kuspak, Chief Specialist at the Regional Cultural Heritage Protection Department, told TASS.
"The church can be restored, there can be no doubt about that. The scientific documentation has been fully preserved. How much it will cost and how long it will take is another story," she said.
"The Dormition Church is a federal cultural heritage site, its level is comparable to UNESCO sites. It's unique and well-known," Kuspak stressed.
According to the Russian Emergencies Ministry's regional directorate, the fire was reported at 09:33 Moscow time on August 10. The first firefighting crews arrived at the scene at 09:41 Moscow time. The ministry's press service informed TASS that the church had been completely destroyed by fire.
The fire could have been caused by tourists' careless actions, the Petrozavodsk and Karelia diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church reported on its website.
"The Dormition Church in the city of Kondopoga is a monument of federal significance built in 1774. It is also a wooden architecture monument and a branch of the Kondopoga City Museum. <…> One of the versions is that the fire was caused by tourists' careless actions," the diocese said. It noted that the building was not the property of the Russian Orthodox Church, and there were no church services in it. The last priest, Father John Lyadinsky, was shot in 1937.
According to the republican Cultural Heritage Protection Center, the Dormition Church was one of the tallest wooden churches in northern Russia. It was 42 meters high, its length was 24 meters and width - 14.6 meters.


188 pp. Speaking In Tongues: Love In Five Languages is a collection of poetry separated into five parts, each dedicated to a different language of love based on Gary Chapman's best-seller, The Five Love Languages. As The Habitual Wordsmith weaves his way through each poem, he reveals another layer into the most complicated subjects of love, such as intimacy, self-identity and vulnerability.
The Habitual Wordsmith T.J. Love is a poet and spoken word artist.

Q: Splitting a cell in pandas into multiple rows It was a bit tricky to explain the problem.
I want to split a cell containing multiple string values delimited by commas into different rows. The df below is a small example but the real dataset contains up to 15 columns and 15 rows and each cell has 5 to 6 non unique string values in it that I need to separate into different rows.
How can we split the original df to the transformed df?
Original df
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"Privileges":['Type1','Type2','Type3'],"Super_Admin":["A1,A2,A3,A4","A1,B1,B2,B3, A4","C1,B2,C2,C3"], "Admin":["A1,A2","A1,B1,B2","B2, C1,C2"])

A: Breakdown of the steps below:
zip all the columns
Use zip_longest to pair None with values that do not have a pair
Combine the two lists into one, with chain
Create dataframe and forward fill on the Privileges column
In [541]: step1 = zip(df.Privileges, df.Super_Admin, df.Admin)

In [542]: step2 = (zip_longest([first], second,last)
                   for first, second, last
                   in step1)

In [543]: step3 = chain.from_iterable(step2)

In [546]: (pd.DataFrame(step3, columns = df.columns)
             .assign(Privileges = lambda df: df.Privileges.ffill())
           )
Out[546]:
   Privileges Super_Admin Admin
0       Type1          A1    A1
1       Type1          A2    A2
2       Type1          A3  None
3       Type1          A4  None
4       Type2          A1    A1
5       Type2          B1    B1
6       Type2          B2    B2
7       Type2          B3  None
8       Type2          A4  None
9       Type3          C1    B2
10      Type3          B2    C1
11      Type3          C2    C2
12      Type3          C3  None

To get more speed, you can move the split step into native python territory. pandas string methods are wrappers around python's string functions, as such they are not as fast as python's string functions.

A: This is on option.
First make Super_Admin and Admin to a list. This is useful to use pd.explode().
df['Super_Admin'] = df['Super_Admin'].apply(lambda x: x.split(','))
df['Admin'] = df['Admin'].apply(lambda x: x.split(','))

Then call explode on both columns and fill the missing values with an empty string.
a = df.explode('Super_Admin')
b = df.explode('Admin')
for i in range(3):
    short = b.loc[i,'Admin'].values
    long = a.loc[i,'Admin'].values
    a.loc[i,'Admin'] = np.concatenate((short, ['']*(len(long)-len(short))), axis=0)

The output looks like this:
>>> a
  Privileges Super_Admin Admin
0      Type1          A1    A1
0      Type1          A2    A2
0      Type1          A3
0      Type1          A4
1      Type2          A1    A1
1      Type2          B1    B1
1      Type2          B2    B2
1      Type2          B3
1      Type2          A4
2      Type3          C1    B2
2      Type3          B2    C1
2      Type3          C2    C2
2      Type3          C3

A: You can do the job with a single although substantially chained instruction:
result = df.set_index('Privileges').apply(lambda col:
    col.str.split(', ?', expand=True).stack())\
    .droplevel(1).reset_index().fillna('')

Steps:

*

*df.set_index('Privileges') - Set Privileges as the index column.

*apply(lambda col: - Apply to each column:

*

*col.str.split(', ?', expand=True) - Break this column into separate
columns (a DataFrame, with column names as consecutive integers).

*stack() - Convert the above DataFrame into a Series with column
names as the second MultiIndex level.

*droplevel(1) - Drop the unncessary index level.

Pre-purchases just went live today.
Many many issues. People being charged multiple times. People getting stuck in queues of quintillion days. Black screens of death. Tweets. Patches.
Oh and I'm just flying around ganking level 20 lightforged draenai as punishment for being able to pre-order when it didn't work for me.
He's on the character select screen, but his "teelo5" character isn't appearing.
The whole Rep to create the new races thing is somewhat retarded.
Nah its fine. Its just to stop the filthy casuals from playing allied races.
In a business sense it is stupid.
"here pre order our new expansion, but to take advantage of the new stuff, you have to repeatedly beat a dead horse on the old stuff".
But its not old... yet. Its current content. So its more "here pre order our new expansion, but to travel through time to access new stuff that shouldn't really be released until September, go and actually play the current content first".
Every expansion looks hype then a month into it - it gets dull and repetitive.
Legion was fun starting, possibly the best expac ever.
new races... main DH so pretty much pointless to me woulda been cool to have nightborne as DH ah well.
Horde can play ally races now?
Pretty much WoW in a nutshell lol. The social aspect has always held me longer than the actual content.
Not quite. The rep grind requirement can be done on a horde toon, but the unlock quest needs a 110 alliance.
So if I'm 110 horde and have all four race requirements I can do the horde unlock quests, but I pretty much need to use the 110 boost on an alliance toon (of the existing races) if I wanna unlock the other two new races?
Yup. They are alliance races, after all.
Cool. I've just read on wowhead and official site some people have used that boost on an alliance toon but the allied race embassy quest hasn't shown up, I assume that's just a glitch that can happen and will be fixed.
Still worth playing, even if only for a month.
That's longer than I play most games.
Man I did the grind and hated it, but it feels good seeing plebs who can't fly.

A mortgage in principle is an agreed figure from the lender that they would be willing to lend you. In order to do so they will gather basic information and perform a background credit search. A mortgage in principle is not a guarantee and a full application and assessment will have to be made before the lender can issue you with a mortgage offer. A mortgage in principle can last between 60-90 days depending on the lender. Because a credit search is needed, multiple decision in principles could have a negative effect on your credit score.
A mortgage offer is confirmation that the lender will provide you with a mortgage. This will be after fully assessing your circumstances and a full application is made alongside a valuation of the property. The amount of time it takes to get to this stage depends on the overall complexity of the application. In general, it will take between 18-40 days for the processing of the mortgage application and an offer to be produced.
Mortgage offers can last between 3-6 months, depending on the lender. Some will be valid starting from the date of application whilst others start from the date the mortgage offer was created. It is worth bearing this in mind before applying.

It seems the righter-wing end of the Conservative party has had a think about their party's 2015 electoral prospects, looked at the GDP figures, and gone into a little bit of a panic. Not necessarily a bad thing. What is their plan?
Liam Fox today gifted a stream of "nasty party" quotes to the Guardian sub-editors, allowing them to concoct headlines with the words "slash" and "welfare" carefully arranged to maximize the righteous indignation of their readers. David Davis last week made a speech calling for a government "growth strategy" – and the growth strategy that he and Fox have in mind is no more and no less than "radical" supply-side reform.
Davis and Fox remember that Thatcher won elections, and Thatcher loved supply-side reform. So they revert to this primitive ideal of Thatcherism which says "supply-side reform wins elections".
But they have forgotten that a good part of Thatcherism was demand-side, with the adoption of monetarist targets for the broad money supply aimed at providing lower, and stable inflation. Cobham's book on UK monetary policy makes the point that this was more an evolutionary change than a revolution; monetary targets had been used but completely ignored in the 1970s; after the targets were made more explicit in the 1980s, they were still ignored or revised when policymakers found that convenient.
Regardless, the demand-side policies under Thatcher brought down nominal GDP growth from an average annual rate of 16% in the 1970s to 9% in the 1980s. Some volatility remained with inflation and NGDP soaring in the first years of the decade and another (less severe) spike at the end during the "Lawson Boom". The intervening period saw marked stability in nominal GDP, real GDP and inflation. Lawson's abortive ERM experiment was another unnecessary screwup, but the subsequent adoption of inflation targeting in 1992 set the stage for 16 years of stable growth.
when I talk about a growth policy, be clear that I am not talking about an exercise in Keynesian demand management.
He is similarly dismissive of Japan's experience with "suppressing interest rates to zero". Milton Friedman keeps on turning in his grave.
Davis does come out in favour of government-funded infrastructure spending, but purely for its benefits in improving the supply-side and long run growth. This support is conditional; it must only be infrastructure spending on things David Davis thinks are really good. Which apparently means that high speed rail is out, and gigabit broadband is in, because South Korea has gigabit broadband and therefore, um, handwaving here. I'm not sure Davis has fully grasped the Hayekian critique of central planning embraced by Thatcher.
The (short) list of supply-side reforms which Davis deems necessary for growth may well (or may not) be sensible ideas. Jonathan Portes is surely correct to point out that an "easy win" from supply-side reform would be to relax the immigration rules tightened under the Coalition, a subject which the likes of Davis and Fox are curiously silent on. But supply-side reform will not help escape from the demand-deficient slump we are in. UK nominal demand growth has been weaker over the last four years than any other period on record, and there is no obvious recovery imminent.
For these politicians to abandon any consideration of demand policy right now not only contributes to their party's electoral suicide, but is a repudiation of the Thatcherism they claim to admire. Monetarism's "second counter-revolution" offers an escape from what might be considered "Keynesian" demand management, but the Tories have little time to embrace it.
Here is the graph of the headline UK CPI rate, and the Bank of England's median forecast for the CPI rate looking 3 years out. The latter is a roughly what the MPC aim to adjust when setting the monetary policy stance, as per Lars Svensson's "target the forecast" methodology. If the forecast is nailed to 2%, go and watch the tennis. Otherwise, adjust the monetary policy stance until the forecast is at 2%.
The last recession, and the ongoing double-dip are shaded.
Is it chance that the failure to hold the forecast at 2% was preceded both times by a spike up to 5% on the current CPI rate?
And then.. is it chance that both episodes of failure are associated with a recession? Correlation, but no causation? Admittedly it would better to look at some measure of nominal demand growth here, not just falling real GDP.


The Vitra Design Museum exhibition »Christien Meindertsma: Beyond the Surface«, is the Dutch designer's first solo presentation outside her native country. The exhibition will be shown from 18 August 2018 until 20 January 2019 at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery. For Christien Meindertsma, the creation of a product is only one element of the design process. In her unique approach, she explores the mechanisms of modern industrial production, undertaking expeditions to factories and conducting meticulous detective work at waste disposal sites and workshops - while bringing her unquenchable thirst for knowledge to interviews with the protagonists of these adventures. The exhibition focuses on Christien Meindertsma's work with the materials of wool, flax, incinerator bottom ash and recycled wool.
