Q: Select keys and values between 2 keys Python Dictionary I have the following dictionary
{'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}

I want to select all the items between the specified keys(first and last in this example) how could I do that

A: You can use a generator where an iterator is created for the dict items so that items until the first key can be skipped, and then items until the second key are yielded:
def items_between_keys(d, k1, k2):
    items = iter(d.items())
    for k, _ in items:
        if k == k1:
            break
    for k, v in items:
        if k == k2:
            return
        yield k, v

so that:
d = {'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
for k, v in items_between_keys(d, 'first', 'last'):
    print(k, v)

outputs:
el1 2
el2 2

Alternatively, use a flag to indicate that the first key has been found before yielding:
def items_between_keys(d, k1, k2):
    found = False
    for k, v in d.items():
        if k == k1:
            found = True
        elif k == k2:
            return
        elif found:
            yield k, v

A: Here's a little homemade version of accomplishing this. We take the keys, first-last. Then we create a new list with those keys and there values in the original dictionary.
dct = {'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}

kys = list(dct.keys())
kys = kys[kys.index('first')+1:kys.index('last')]
newDict = {k:dct[k] for k in kys}
print(newDict)

output
{'el1': 2, 'el2': 2}

A: If your Python is 3.7 or newer, you can guarantee that the order is preserved. Anything older, the keys may be stored in a random, hashed order.
You can get all the keys in a dict using keys(). You would then loop over the keys, starting when you find the starting key, and break out of the loop after you find the ending keys.
I initially wrote this as a snippet, but decided to interpret "select" as adding to a new dictionary. The logic is the same.
def select_between(src_dict, start_key, end_key):
    result, selected = {}, False
    for key, value in src_dict.items():
        if not selected:
            if key != start_key:
                continue
            selected = True
        result[key] = value
        if key == end_key:
            break
    return result

Using your example,
select_between({'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999},
               'el1', 'last')

will give you
['el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}

--B

A: One approach is to get the list of keys in your original dictionary, find the indices of your starting key and ending key, and build a new dictionary from the original using a dictionary comprehension:
>>> d = {'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
>>> keys = list(d.keys())
>>> i = keys.index("first")
>>> j = keys.index("last")
>>> result = {k: d[k] for k in keys[i:j+1]}
>>> result
{'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
>>> i = keys.index("el1")
>>> j = keys.index("last")
>>> result = {k: d[k] for k in keys[i:j+1]}
>>> result
{'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}

A: You can try:
> dict={'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
> for key,value in dict.items():
>     if (key!="first") &(key!="last"):
>         print (value)

See here:

A: if you want to do this in-place:
d = {'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
d.pop('first')
d.pop('last')

if you want to preserve the initial dict:
d = {'first': 1, 'el1': 2, 'el2': 2, 'last': 999}
res = {k: v for (k,v) in d if key not in ['first', 'last']}

Deportation Heartache For Promising Young Chess Player
Nine-year-old Chess talent, Shreyas Royal has lived in the United Kingdom since he was three. He is the world's youngest Candidate Master and is ranked 4th in the world for his age group. He has been described by Malcolm Pein as, "the greatest British chess prospect in a generation." And now, having just scored 5.5/9 in the 'Open' section of the 2018 British Chess Championships, Shreyas faces deportation.
August 10, 2018 John Lee Shaw Comment
Shreyas Royal makes the first move in Carlsen vs Anand at London Chess 2017. He is also reported to be lined up to make the opening move in a game during this year's World Chess Championships in London. | Photo: John Saunders (@johnchess).
Nine-year-old chess player, Shreyas Royal, has just finished playing in the 2018 British Chess Championships in Hull. His final score of 5.5/9 in the 'Open' section, (just two points behind the winner), is not to be sniffed at. This is especially so, when we consider the fact that young Shreyas, played the event knowing that within weeks, he is set to be deported along with his family.
Shreyas was born in India, but his Father's work brought him to the United Kingdom when he was three-years-of-age. Having been raised in the UK, Shreyas sees it as his home. And it is where he has learned chess and began what he hopes will be a career. Ultimately, he aims to become World Champion. However, his situation currently, is that he must leave the United Kingdom and go back to India by 10 September.
The issue is that Shreyas's Father, Jitendra Singh is in the United Kingdom under a 2 tier long-term work permit visa. Policy says that in order to extend that visa, he must earn £120,000 a year. This is something that Jitendra realistically accepts is not going to happen.
And this is no disgrace at all! According to analysis by the Office for National Statistics, the average wage in the United Kingdom is £28,600 a year. And, as for the state-set National Living Wage … ? Well it gets nowhere near that mark! For those aged 25-years or over, the United Kingdom Government says that £7.83 per hour is perfectly adequate. That is around £16,000 a year.
Never-the-less, when his current visa expires in September, Jitendra, will have to return with his family to India. Even without a chess prodigy in the family, this seems extremely harsh to me. It is not like Mr. Singh has no job and doesn't earn anything. It is not like he will be a burden to the tax payer. Rather ironically, he actually works for Tata, who sponsor the super chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, each January. And they say that job would continue. It is simply that the UK government, says that he has to earn the stipulated amount, in order to be eligible to extend his visa.
Like most Fathers, Jitendra is worried at the effect this will have on his Son and his chess development. I know that many will say that being based in India didn't exactly do Vishy Anand any harm and they would of course be quite right. However, Shreyas has a very good support system in place in the UK. He is coached by Julian Simpole, for example. Julian also coached the likes of David Howell and Luke McShane. He describes his pupil as, "…something else," and is confident that he will be a Grandmaster by eighteen. As great as that is in itself, Julian stated that there is the possibility that Shreyas could even do it at twelve.
Therefore, Mr. Singh has asked that the family be allowed to stay in the United Kingdom, so that Shreyas can continue to compete and develop his game. And he is not the only one. He is supported by Dominic Lawson, who is a well-known chess writer and the current President of the English Chess Federation.
Labour Members of Parliament, Rachel Reeves and Matthew Pennycook, have joined the calls to let Shreyas and his family stay. Themselves chess players, they have sent a joint letter to the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, stating that if the family has to leave, the United Kingdom will lose an, "…exceptional talent.". Former British Chess Champion, Chris Ward, goes even further. He is of the opinion that Shreyas (rated 1966) is, "…the best prospect the country has ever seen".
This has, as yet, been to no avail. And now the case is making headline news. As sharp as ever, Peter Doggers covered it for chess.com and wider news outlets have also got hold of it. Shreyas's situation has been publicised by the BBC, Guardian, and Times, to name but a few. Even British celebrity, John Cleese, has put in his two-penneth …
In the matter of the impending deportation of chess prodigy Shreyas Royal and his parents, the family cannot extend their visas because the father earns less that £120,000 per year
It is characteristic of this dreadful government that they put money before talent
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) August 4, 2018
Unfortunately, even though the ridiculousness of this situation is clear and even though many are pleading Shreyas's cause, it is unlikely to have the desired result. In commenting on the matter, the United Kingdom Home Office stated that, "Every visa case is assessed on its own merits in line with immigration rules."
Piffle. This decision is pure politics.
To begin with, the timing is bad. There is a whole immigration overhaul underway in the United Kingdom at the moment. It is easy to assume that this is because of Brexit, but I don't believe that to be the case. Immigration has been a sore subject for many of my fellow citizens in the UK for a while now, just as it has in many other European countries. While Brexit may have magnified this, it certainly did not start it.
Then there is the matter of the somewhat recent Windrush generation scandal. This concerned workers, who had arrived from British colonies, such as Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago on the 'HMT Empire Windrush' in 1948. They came to the UK in their hundreds, attracted by the British Nationality Act of 1948. This gave citizenship to those living in the UK and gave those living in British colonies overseas the right to enter and settle.
Unfortunately, adequate documentation was not kept by the government. This has meant that decades later, many of those who immigrated under that nationality act, or their descendants, have found their legal status in the UK questioned. This has threatened their ability to work, get healthcare and many were threatened with deportation. Just some months ago, Prime Minister Theresa May apologised and assured those affected that they would be able to stay in the country. As far as I know, this is still in the process of being sorted out.
Currently, all of this makes exercising discretion when granting rights to stay extremely risky and a potential minefield.
Then there is the perceived lack of return to the nation. Simply put, it's a chess player. Me and you know the beauty of our game, dear reader, we appreciate the genius of its best exponents. We know what a special thing it is for a nine-year-old to be playing like Shreyas is. We know why the mere possibility of him becoming a Grandmaster by the age of twelve is exciting. One does not even have to be British to see the value of someone who can perhaps be another Mickey Adams or Nigel Short … or even better.
Unfortunately, we are in the minority. Those dealing with this case, probably can't even set the board up right, let alone anything else. And that is magnified by millions when you take the matter to the public, most of whom have never touched a piece and for whom chess is neither here nor there. If this was a sport, such as tennis, football or athletics, it would be a different matter. If Shreyas was a female tennis player, who could rival Serena Williams and win Wimbledon, oh my word. If only he could boot them in like Harry Kane or was odds on to win a gold medal–any medal … possibly …–at the next Olympics.
For then, we would most likely only hear the name, Shreyas Royal, as he bursts onto the scene, announced as the next great discovery or home-grown talent. For it would not be a mere question of extending a visa, then, there would be citizenship. The seal of approval would be given before the ink on the form was dry. The development program would all be in place and no doubt the National Lottery funding would follow.
Unfortunately for Shreyas, he is just a nine-year-old boy who likes to play chess. And even if he does end up winning a medal for the United Kingdom, it's only going to be at a chess Olympiad sometime in the future. That is not going to see any parades or calls for a knighthood. Merits indeed — just not the right ones.
"My son is very sad that he has to leave the country where he has grown up," Mr. Singh told the Times. "He keeps asking a lot of questions like, 'Dad, why do we have to leave?' " Well, the above is why. It is undeniable that in order for Jitendra to be able to renew his visa and stay in the United Kingdom, with Shreyas and the rest of his family, an exception would be needed. Not a huge one, but one none-the-less.
Such moves require vision. They come from an ability to ignore the peripheral and just focus on the situation in question, to see its potential given the right strategy and undertakings. It takes guts to deviate from the norm, to create exciting possibilities by just doing what seems right there and then, even if it is a risk. Unfortunately, those making the decision in this instance just don't have what it takes.
Perhaps they should play more chess.
Typically, just shortly after I published this post, news broke that this decision had been reversed! Mr. Singh will be allowed to remain in the United Kingdom under his current visa arrangement. This is wonderful news!

StudioCanal takes Hard Day for UK
By Jean Noh2014-06-16T11:46:00+01:00
South Korea's Showbox/Mediaplex has sold Cannes Directors' Fortnight thriller A Hard Day to 30 territories led by the UK (StudioCanal) and Japan (New Select).
A Hard Day also sold to France and French-speaking territories (Bodega Film), South America (Borsalino), China (Dadi Film), Hong Kong (Golden Scene), Taiwan (Flash Forward Entertainment) and Thailand (Mono Films).
Directed by Kim Seong-hun, the gritty action thriller follows a corrupt cop, played by Lee Sun-kyun, trying to hide that he has accidentally killed a man with his car around the time of his mother's funeral. He is driven to extremes as a diabolical narcotics detective harasses him to give up the body for his own corrupt purposes.
Showbox is currently working on further sales and remake deals.
A Hard Day made its world premiere at Cannes and opened in South Korean theatres on May 29. The film has since recorded more than 2.12 million admissions and $16.3m at the box office, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC).
It is currently ranked in the number two spot behind Tom Cruise sci-fi Edge Of Tomorrow, which opened June 4 and has recorded 3.04 million admissions and $25m, according to KOFIC.

Sherpa for iOS: Google Now is Finally Coming to the iPhone
Apple fans will soon know the true benefit of predictive intelligence, and the technology isn't coming from Google or Cupertino. Instead, a former Googler, Bill Ferrell, is building an iOS app called Sherpa that promises to enlighten iPhone owners as to why Android's Google Now is so revered. The battle of the voice assistant has burned out; it's time for predictive intelligence to flourish.
We're still not sure if Google Now will find its way to iOS. What we do know is that it may not even matter, because Sherpa could fill that void and even go beyond what Now is capable of. If you're familiar with Now's capabilities, Sherpa will immediately sound familiar. But it will take the predictive experience even deeper, to the point where even Google will need to take notes.
Say you drive to soccer after installing Sherpa. Well, Sherpa is capable of associating "soccer practice" with the location of your practice, and remembers right when you arrive. Going forward, it'll show you directions on how to get there and let you know when you need to leave based on present traffic conditions (one of Now's biggest and best abilities). None of this requires you to lift a finger; you're not spending time entering addresses or checking traffic conditions. Sherpa does the work for you.
The app is only in private beta right now, so there are kinks that need to be worked out. If Apple won't make a comparable Google Now experience, someone else will. Surprisingly, it isn't Google (though Google Now can still appear for iOS at some point).
"With location-based insights, we can bring you information you've never had before, e.g. that it will begin raining before your commute home, traffic congestion on the route to your next meeting and much more," Sherpa's website explains.
When the app launches to the public in the coming weeks, Sherpa says it'll be open for developer input and collaboration to make the experience even better across the board. You can sign up on Sherpa's website to get an invite code now.

Chancellor Hammond delivers Autumn Statement on budget policy
LONDON (Reuters) - Chancellor Philip Hammond delivered his first statement on budget policy since taking office in July following Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond leaves 11 Downing Street on his way to present his Autumn Statement in the House of Commons, in London November 23, 2016. REUTERS/Toby Melville
Below are excerpts from his statement to parliament, in the order in which they were delivered:
ON STRENGTH OF UK ECONOMY SINCE BREXIT VOTE
"An economy which has confounded commentators at home and abroad with its strength and its resilience since the British people decided, exactly five months ago today, to leave the European Union and chart a new future for our country."
BUT BREXIT VOTE MAKES IT URGENT TO TACKLE WEAKNESSES
"But it's a decision that also makes more urgent than ever the need to tackle our economy's long-term weaknesses like the productivity gap, the housing challenge."
WILL MAINTAIN COMMITMENT TO FISCAL DISCIPLINE
"Our task now is to prepare our economy to be resilient as we exit the EU.
"So we will maintain our commitment to fiscal discipline while recognising the need for investment to drive productivity and fiscal headroom to support the economy through the transition."
OFFICE FOR BUDGET RESPONSIBILITY (OBR) GROWTH FORECASTS
"Today's OBR forecast is for growth to be 2.1% in 2016; higher than forecast in March. In 2017 the OBR forecasts growth to slow to 1.4%, which they attribute to lower investment and weaker consumer demand, driven, respectively, by greater uncertainty and by higher inflation resulting from sterling depreciation.
"As the effects of uncertainty diminish, the OBR forecasts growth recovering to 1.7% in 2018, 2.1% in 2019 and 2020, and 2% in 2021. While the OBR is clear that it cannot predict the deal the UK will strike with the EU, its current view is that the referendum decision means that potential growth over the forecast period is 2.4 percentage points lower than would otherwise have been the case."
MONETARY POLICY HAS PLAYED ROLE IN SUPPORTING GROWTH
"Monetary policy has played an important role in supporting growth since the Referendum decision."
WE WILL NOT ACHIEVE OUTRIGHT BUDGET SURPLUS BY 2019/20
"In view of the uncertainty facing the economy, and in the face of slower growth forecasts, we no longer seek to deliver a surplus in 2019-20."
WILL ACHIEVE OUTRIGHT BUDGET SURPLUS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
"But the Prime Minister and I remain firmly committed to seeing the public finances return to balance as soon as practicable while leaving enough flexibility to support the economy in the near-term.
"The public finances should be returned to balance as early as possible in the next Parliament."
THREE NEW FISCAL RULES
"Today I am publishing a new draft Charter for Budget Responsibility, with three fiscal rules.
"First, the public finances should be returned to balance as early as possible in the next Parliament, and, in the interim, cyclically-adjusted borrowing should be below 2 percent by the end of this Parliament.
"Second, that public sector net debt as a share of GDP must be falling by the end of this Parliament.
"And third, that welfare spending must be within a cap, set by the Government and monitored by the OBR."
TAX RECEIPTS HAVE BEEN LOWER THAN EXPECTED THIS YEAR
"Tax receipts have been lower than expected this year, causing the OBR to revise down projected revenues in future."
OBR BUDGET DEFICIT FORECASTS
"The OBR now forecast that in cash terms, borrowing is set to be: 68.2 billion pounds this year; falling to 59 billion pounds next year; 46.5 billion pounds in 2018-19; then 21.9 billion pounds; 20.7 billion pounds, and finally 17.2 billion pounds in 2021-22.
"Overall public sector net borrowing as a percentage of GDP will fall from 4 percent last year to 3.5 percent this year, and will continue to fall over the Parliament, reaching 0.7 percent in 2021-22. This will be the lowest deficit as a share of GDP in two decades."
UNDERLYING DEBT
"Stripping out the effects of the Bank of England interventions, underlying debt peaks this year at 82.4 percent of GDP and falls thereafter to 77.7 percent by 2021-22."
UPWARD REVISION TO NET DEBT FORECASTS PARTLY REFLECTS BOE STIMULUS
"The OBR's forecast of higher borrowing and slower asset sales, together with the temporary effect of the Bank of England's action to stimulate growth, translates into an increased forecast for debt in the near-term."
WILL FUND HIGH-VALUE INVESTMENTS WITH EXTRA BORROWING
"We choose in this Autumn Statement to prioritise additional high-value investment, specifically in infrastructure and innovation, that will directly contribute to raising Britain's productivity.
"And the key judgement we make today is that our hard-won credibility on public spending means we can fund this commitment, in the short-term, from additional borrowing while funding all other new policies announced in this Autumn Statement through additional tax and spending measures.
"That is the responsible way to secure our economy for the long term."
NEW NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY INVESTMENT FUND OF 23 BLN
"I can announce today a new National Productivity Investment Fund of 23 billion pounds to be spent on innovation and infrastructure over the next five years."
"Economically productive infrastructure directly benefits businesses. But families, too, rely on roads, rail, telecoms – and, especially housing."
GOVT TO INVEST 1.0-1.2 PCT OF GDP ON INFRASTRUCTURE FROM 2020
"I have written to the National Infrastructure Commission to ask them to make their recommendations on the future infrastructure needs of the country using the assumption that government will invest between 1 percent and 1.2 percent of GDP every year from 2020 in economic infrastructure covered by the Commission. To put this in context, we'll spend around 0.8% of GDP on the same definition this year."
WILL DOUBLE UK EXPORT FINANCE CAPACITY
"I am doubling UK Export Finance capacity to make it easier for British businesses to export."
STEPS TO STOP UK TECH START-UPS BEING BOUGHT UP
"I am taking a first step to tackle the longstanding problem of our fastest growing technology firms being snapped up by bigger companies, rather than growing to scale by injecting an additional 400 million pounds into venture capital funds through the British Business Bank, unlocking 1 billion pounds of new finance for growing firms."
FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN LONDON
"I can announce today that London will receive 3.15 billion pounds as its share of national affordable housing funding to deliver over 90,000 homes."
ON PUBLIC SPENDING
"In 2010, public spending was 45 percent of GDP – this year it's set to be 40 percent.
"Departmental spending plans set out in the Spending Review last autumn will remain in place, and departmental expenditure in 21-22 will grow in line with inflation."
WILL MAINTAIN TRIPLE LOCK FOR PENSIONS
"We will meet our pledge to our country's pensioners through the triple lock."
WILL STICK TO BUSINESS TAX ROAD MAP SET OUT IN MARCH
"I know how much business values certainty and stability, and so I confirm today that we will stick to the business tax roadmap we set out in March. Corporation tax will fall to 17 percent, by far the lowest overall rate of corporate tax in the G20."
CARBON PRICE SUPPORT WILL CONTINUE TO BE CAPED UNTIL 2020
"We will deliver the commitments we have made to the oil and gas sector; the Carbon Price Support will continue to be capped out to 2020."
WILL ALIGN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE NATIONAL INSURANCE RATES
"From April 2017 we will align the employee and employer National Insurance thresholds at £157 per week."
INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX WILL RISE TO 12 PCT FROM JUNE
"Insurance premium tax in this country is lower than in many other European countries, and half the rate of VAT. In order to raise revenue, which is required to fund spending commitments I am making today, it will rise from 10 percent currently, to 12 percent from next June."
WILL REDUCE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TAX ON CASH EARNINGS AND ON BENEFITS IN KIND
"The Government will take action now to reduce the difference between the treatment of cash earnings and benefits. The majority of employees pay tax on a cash salary. But some are able to sacrifice salary and pay much lower tax on benefits in kind."
WILL CHANGE TAX TREATMENT OF PAST BUSINESS LOSSES
"These measures, scored at Budget 2016, will help to ensure large businesses will always pay tax in years where they make substantial profits. They will also mean that businesses cannot avoid tax by borrowing excessively in the UK to fund their overseas activities. They take effect in April, and raise over 5 billion pounds from the largest businesses in the UK."
PLANS TO RAISE THRESHOLD FOR INCOME TAX
"I can confirm today that, despite the challenging fiscal forecasts, we will deliver on our commitment to raising the allowance to 12,500 pounds, and the higher rate threshold to 50,000 pounds, by the end of this Parliament. Once 12,500 pounds has been reached, the personal allowance will rise automatically during the 2020s in line with inflation, rather than the National Minimum Wage as currently planned."
WILL LOOK AT WHETHER RETAIL ENERGY MARKET FUNCTIONING FAIRLY
"We will look carefully over the coming months at the functioning of key markets, including the retail energy market, to make sure they are functioning fairly for all consumers."
FUEL DUTY
"Today we stand on the side of the millions of hardworking people in our country by cancelling the fuel duty rise for the seventh successive year."
WILL HOLD ANNUAL BUDGETS IN AUTUMN FROM 2017
"I am abolishing the Autumn Statement. No other major economy makes hundreds of tax changes twice a year, and neither should we. So the spring Budget in a few months will be the final spring Budget. Starting in autumn 2017, Britain will have an autumn Budget, announcing tax changes well in advance of the start of the tax year. From 2018 there will be a Spring Statement, responding to the forecast from the OBR, but no major fiscal event."

Campbellsport News
Helen Beck
On Monday, November 30, 2020, Helen Beck, loving wife and mother of two children, passed away peacefully at her home at the age of 74.
Helen was born on August 18, 1946 in Zamboanga City, Philippines to Eulogio and Elena (Mendoza) Chao. She received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines before moving to the United States where she married Ralph Beck on July 19, 1980 and worked at GE Healthcare for 34 years in Milwaukee, WI. Helen and Ralph lived primarily in Glendale, WI up until moving full time to their farm in Campbellsport, WI.
Helen had a passion for cooking, gardening and art. She was a very talented artist herself – creating stained glass and crafts that decorate the log home that she had built with Ralph. She was an avid lover of shopping and a collector of antiques. She enjoyed foraging for ramps in the spring and caring for her vegetable garden in the summer. She was known for her quiet but driven attitude, her beautiful smile to accompany her always fashionable taste, and her compassionate spirit. Helen most of all enjoyed spending time with her family – hosting holidays at the farm, communicating with relatives abroad in the Philippines and Canada as well as traveling to California to spend time with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband Ralph; their two children, Jordan (Michelle) Beck and Miranda (Dallas) White; grandchildren Catalina and Camden Beck; her brother Eulogio Jr. Chao; and her sisters Conchita Mendoza and Evangelina Dela Cruz. She is also survived by brother-in-law and sister-in-law Gerald and Jane Beck.
Helen was preceded in death by her father, Eulogio, her mother, Elena, her sisters, Lolita Vicente, Anita Lim and her brother Adolfo Mendoza.
Mass of Christian Burial was held on Friday, December 4, 2020 at 5 p.m. at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 320 E Main St., Campbellsport, WI 53010. The Rev. Mark Jones officiated and a private burial took place in St. Matthew Cemetery.
Helen's family greeted relatives and friends at the church from 3:30 p.m. until the time of Mass.
The family would like to thank the Aurora Cancer Center team of Grafton, WI and the Aurora Home Hospice team of Sheboygan, WI for their care, love, and support during Helen's courageous battle against pancreatic cancer.
In lieu of any gifts or flowers please consider a donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org).

Singing Toward The Wind Now / Singing Toward The Sun Now
Raven Chacon is a composer, performer, educator and installation artist from Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation. As a solo artist, collaborator, and as part of the indigenous collective Postcommodity, Chacon has exhibited or performed at the Whitney Biennial, Documenta 14, REDCAT, Musée d'art Contemporain de Montréal, San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Chaco Canyon, Ende Tymes Festival, 18th Biennale of Sydney, and The Kennedy Center. Every year, he teaches 20 students to write string quartets for the Native American Composer Apprenticeship Project (NACAP), where he has taught hundreds of American Indian high-school students on reservations in the Southwest. He is the recipient of the United States Artists fellowship in Music, The Creative Capital award in Visual Arts, The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation artist fellowship, and the American Academy's Berlin Prize for Music Composition. In 2019, he composed (Bury Me) Where The Lightning [Will] Never Find Me for bass clarinet, percussion, violin, and cello (commissioned by Arraymusic) and Horse Notations, for flute, string quartet, and two hand drums (commissioned by Oregon East Symphony).
Four stainless steel sculptures glare along Arizona's Canyon de Chelly, where orange earth becomes a soundscape for the electronic and the organic, a sounding board of static and atmospheric vibrations.
Raven Chacon's installation Singing Toward The Wind Now / Singing Toward The Sun Now (2012) places electrical utility towers amidst the winds of the Navajo Nation, transforming them into musical instruments, which incorporate traditional geometrical designs seen in Navajo weavings and paintings.
Two of the towers function as harps, whose strings are activated by swirling wind and sand, while two solar-powered oscillators produce a faint electronic beat.
Chacon's practice exists at the intersection of sound art and the composition of chamber music, all the way through noise music, performance and visual art: Singing Toward The Wind Now / Singing Toward The Sun Now reflects Chacon's sight through the multimedia nature of his language, which expands questions of Native American indigeneity through images and sounds from imageries that are continuously and newly interlaced.
Raven, I'm particularly interested in how sound manifests in your work through a sort of non-cognitive – or should I say non-rational, consciousness. By this, I don't mean that we cannot potentially develop forms of knowledge through it, but rather that it doesn't operate like a discursive apparatus (sound in the service of...). The way that you seem to approach sound is by letting it speak for itself (if this makes sense) while not sacrificing its intrinsic political nature. Would you agree with this and if so, what role does your music composition background play in this?
I appreciate this observation. For the most part, I am in agreement, though this might not apply to the sound works I made as a member of Postcommodity, because the intent of those works was often to use sound to support a discursive idea. Many of my solo works, pieces that I like to describe as music (even if they are still in the form of installation, performance, or video), prioritize the organizing of sounds. When I say this, I am not always meaning the meticulous placing and directing of sounds in a timeline, but rather, the organizing of the context of how, where and why the sounds are presented. The composed pieces have a set duration. The installations are almost always presented as loops, infinite or fluid in time, or exist as documentation of a situation where duration or sequential order is not important.
Many of my works are about the land; the places my family or I am from, places I have lived or places whose histories I have come to understand. In some cases, the land is allowed to directly speak for itself. In Field Recordings (1999), quiet places are recorded and then amplified to their maximum volume, while in Still Life no.1 & 2 (2011, 2012), one is asked to consider the tempo or speed of life that might exist in these lived rural lands. In other pieces, the natural environment of the place activates a representation of itself, perhaps a symbol of its history or other narratives. Sometimes these activators are people from the region. For example, Singing Toward The Wind Now / Singing Toward The Sun Now (2012) is a group of wind harps and solar oscillators disguised as electrical towers while Still Life no. 3 (2015) is another sculpture where a Navajo woman's oration of the Dine' story of emergence (in the Dine' language) is emitted out of an ascending tower of speakers.
For other works, the sites themselves generate context. Report (2001), a musical composition for firearms, poses new questions when one takes into account where the piece is performed. Technically, Report can be performed anywhere and by anyone, so long as they can read Western music notation and shoot a gun. As musical instruments, guns are extremely limited in their percussive expression, but ironically contain power in their single audible moments. This sonic information compounded with the locale of their performance, which is the essence of the piece. Another work, Ofrendas de Luz (2008) takes the form of an anonymous recording session where all the musicians involved are invited to a pitch-black abandoned building. My intention was for these mysterious buildings with mysterious histories to produce an atmosphere that the players would relay through their instruments. There would be a freedom in the darkness, performing for a room that is accustomed to being alone. In all of these examples, I feel that the sound and the information in the sound speaks for itself. If there are other components to the work, they exist only to embellish or assist in revealing this information.
And regarding composed pieces, I am compelled by how the physical gestures that are being asked of the performer produce sonic artifacts that are out of my control, or perhaps even left to the will of nature. Extended techniques on chamber instruments surely produce unique sounds, but I am interested in the metaphor that can be embedded in the action; for example, the pulling of a cello string as if it is a hunting bow. I am less concerned about the common ("correct") technique that could be achieved, but rather, all the infinite nuances of releasing the string and letting the arrow go.

The way you articulate these ideas throughout your work somehow manifests sound as a techno-poetic regime. The music you produce is not only the creative engineering of sound but also a field of possibilities that allow sound to happen. I find it fascinating on one hand this sort of demystification of sound through a material understanding of it; as sculptural objects that entangle something beyond matter (sound). On the other hand, there's an approach to sound as an entity out of human obsessive control and beyond discipline, which perhaps contributes to why you are less interested in technique and more into the metaphor (poetics) of sound?
Audio feedback featured heavily in the development of my concepts as one of the techniques or sounds used in noise music—the idea that a self-generating loop begins to have its own life. Allowing these feedback systems to occur (even if they didn't produce sound) became a method for me in composing or designing a sound installation. Instruments are then made to respond to this situation but in turn, can influence the system or context that produced the environment in the first place. Attempts to insert ourselves into that situation are just one part of the music; sound will exist whether we make it or not. My hope is that we are aware of ourselves within the context of sound and notice our alignments (or misalignments) and interactions and gather meaning from these interactions. Technique, for me, becomes this awareness.

Cold hearted wife played griving widow while texting her husbands alleged killer "See her arrest and tearful performance"
CityFella February 26, 2021 February 26, 2021 Crime, Scandal, Social Networking
By: Tamar Lapin/NYCPost
Prosecutors charge that Jennifer Lynne Faith (left) had communication with the man who allegedly killed her husband James (right).
The wife of an American Airlines executive shot dead in Texas played the grieving widow on TV — only for cops to discover she was allegedly having "a full-blown emotional affair" with his accused killer, authorities said Thursday.
Jennifer Lynne Faith, 48, was hit Wednesday with federal obstruction of justice charges in the Oct. 9, 2020, death of her 49-year-old hubby James "Jamie" Faith, according to the Department of Justice.
Federal prosecutors charge that she communicated with the alleged gunman, her high school sweetheart, and pushed him to get rid of evidence — all while publicly pleading for information about the case.
Her husband James, an IT director for the airline, was gunned down while the couple were out on a morning walk with their dog in their Dallas neighborhood.
"I heard running behind me, and I turned around and all of a sudden somebody just started shooting at him," Jennifer told local outlet NBCDFW in December.
She pleaded for anyone with information about the case to come forward.
"My hope is that someday perhaps the person will realize the gravity of what they've done," she said. "He was just the backbone of our family. It was just devastating."
Investigators on Jan. 11 arrested Darrin Ruben Lopez, a 48-year-old Tennessee man, and charged him with the fatal shooting.
He and Jennifer had dated in high school and college, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Authorities said that Lopez allegedly drove from Tennessee to Dallas and laid in wait for the couple before shooting James seven times and fleeing the scene.
Cops discovered that between Sept. 30 and Oct. 30, 2020, Lopez and his victim's wife exchanged some 14,363 calls and texts the affidavit states.
While being questioned by detectives in January, Jennifer allegedly admitted that she communicated daily with Lopez, though denied an intimate relationship, authorities said.
But investigators seized Lopez's cellphone after his arrest and discovered the pair were actually "intimately involved," according to prosecutors.
Their texts allegedly revealed how Jennifer would update her beau on her efforts to cash in on James' life insurance policy, and how she coached him to respond to potential police questioning.
"If asked about you, you are an old friend going through a divorce… If it ever comes to it, I'll answer the same way," she allegedly wrote, according to court documents.
"Just so you and I have the same explanations. Just thinking in case they [law enforcement] pulled phone records and asked," the texts added.
She also allegedly instructed Lopez to get rid of a "T" decal on the back window of his truck — identical to the one witnesses had reported seeing on the shooter's pickup, prosecutors said.
Investigators said that Jennifer allegedly wiped her phone, but they were able to recover her texts with Lopez.
She was arrested at her Oak Cliff home on Wednesday and was expected to appear before a judge on Friday.
"Even as she publicly claimed she was 'desperate for answers' regarding her husband's murder, Jennifer Faith was communicating with the alleged killer, actively urging him to destroy evidence and attempting to delete incriminating communications from her phone," US Attorney Prerak Shah said in a statement.
People in her community raised sixty thousand for her in a Go Fund Me Page
"Thanks to the dedication of our agents and officers, Ms. Faith could not keep law enforcement from identifying her husband's killer."
Her defense attorney, Toby Shook, said he couldn't comment on the arrest, according to local reports. He has told WFAA-TV that his client is innocent and is fully cooperating.

Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Tan Average Vehicle Review: (4.5 reviews) It's a great car for a good price. It gets awesome gas mileage and it's super comfortable for car rides. I find it really spacious on the inside, lots of trunk space. I've had a little trouble with the USB port, but usually restarting my phone fixes that. Some people online have complained about cabin noise, but I don't see it being any noisier than any other comparable sedan. It has a very smooth ride. Altogether I've really enjoyed my car so far.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Gray Interior Color: Gray Average Vehicle Review: (4.5 reviews) It has so much pep. It's just a 6-cylinder, but it has great acceleration, and the mileage is really good. I was driving an Xterra before, and I thought it was a good car, but this beats it all to heck. There's plenty of room for passengers in the back, the trunk is big enough to put several boxes or suitcases, etc. And the price was so reasonable, my payment is really low. Love this car!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Black Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.585 reviews) I bought this car three years ago and it's been a great change from my '91 Buick Century. I considered other compacts but landed on the Hyundai for its gas mileage, low cost of maintenance, great manufacturer's warranty and modern styling. It has nice amenities for even the basic trim and gets good gas mileage (not as advertised by still superior) for the class. I've done regular maintenance every 3k miles and only had one issue so far that was taken care of by the manufacturer. If you're looking for a commuter vehicle or just a daily driver this is a great vehicle. The space is great for the compact class as well, I play in a band and can move all of my equipment in the backseat/trunk with a passenger very comfortably.

House Passes Stopgap Funding Measure
Published September 13, 2012 Reuters
The stop-gap government funding measure approved on Thursday staves off the threat of a government shutdown for six months, leaving some important spending decisions to a newly elected Congress.
While the so-called continuing resolution is largely considered a "clean," or non-controversial, extension of spending, it does contain funding increases for some specific programs and activities.
Here are key details of the measure, which heads to the Senate with a Sept. 30 deadline for enactment:
FUNDING LEVEL
The resolution funds the government's discretionary expenditures - which range from agency budgets to war spending - at $1.047 trillion, a cap set last year by Democrats and Republicans as part of a deal to end a debt limit standoff that brought the United States to the brink of default.
The measure allows for an across-the-board increase of 0.6 percent for most programs over the previous year's base spending rate as determined by the Congressional Budget Office.
PAY FREEZE
The measure extends a two-year-old pay freeze for federal employees for another six months. The Obama administration had sought a 0.5 percent raise for federal workers in its fiscal 2013 budget request. The freeze extends to lawmakers and their staffs.
The measure provides a substantial increase to federal efforts to fight wildfires, to a total of about $2.7 billion. It also provides an extra $423 million to cover costs incurred in fighting this summer's wildfires, which exceeded the fiscal 2012 budget.
DEFENSE, WAR SPENDING
The measure provides $88.5 billion for war-related funding, the same amount requested by the Obama administration, down from an estimated $115.3 billion for fiscal 2012.
It provides a $363 million funding increase for nuclear weapons modernization efforts, along with an extra $100 million for domestic uranium enrichment research and development.
The measure prohibits use of any funds by the Pentagon for retiring or transferring any aircraft from their bases by the Air Force or shutting down Air National Guard units or taking planes away from them.
The Veterans Benefits Administration gets a 7 percent increase, to $2.2 billion, to help it handle an increase in disability claims from veterans.
Provides a $282 million increase to the Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity budget, a jump of 31 percent. It designates that $328 million be spent on network security deployment and up to $218 million on software and intrusion detection systems for civilian federal computer networks.
Provides a 65 percent increase, or about $9.8 million, to the budget for District of Columbia's emergency planning and security operations to be used for costs associated with the presidential inauguration ceremonies in January.
It also specifies that $8 million be set aside to support for a transition between presidential administrations.
The measure also specifies that $5 million be spent on developing a centralized public database for disclosures required by a new law to combat insider trading by members of Congress and their staffs.

TOO MUCH travelling was the reason behind Ashley Smith's departure from Hampton & Richmond Borough, the midfielder has revealed.
The right-winger joined rejoined former club Maidenhead United, from whom he moved to Beveree last summer, over Christmas.
But he insists there was no fall-out, and he would have stayed if not for the long commute from his Buckinghamshire home.
He said: "After I first signed, I was travelling down from High Wycombe with Keiron Knight and Shaun MacAuley, but Shaun left during pre-season, and Keiron left soon after too, ironically for Maidenhead.
"That left me on my own, and doing all that travelling by myself was starting to do my head in.
"I also had a promotion at work, which was also taking its toll. So when the chance came up to rejoin Maidenhead, which is only three miles from my workplace, it was the obvious thing to do.
"But I still got on very well with (Hampton manager) Alan Devonshire and left on good terms."
Smith reckons his old Hampton team-mates, who are just two places off the Blue Square South drop zone, will comfortably avoid relegation.
But he will not be doing them any favours when the two teams clash at Maidenhead's York Road on March 13.
He added: "They will most definitely stay up. The squad's not too different from the one that just missed out in the play-off two seasons in a row.
"There's still a lot of quality and experience in it. They just need that one game to click in and they start getting the results.
"It was good giving my old pals a bit of stick when Hampton beat Maidenhead 4-0 earlier in the season, but I'll be looking to reverse that result in March."
Hampton's home games with Bath City and Havant & Waterlooville were both postponed this week due to a frozen pitch.
But they hope to be back in action tomorrow when they make the short journey to Woking, looking to avenge their 2-0 defeat to the Cards at Beveree back in September.

I Walla Walla, talvolta chiamati Waluulapam, o semplicemente Walla, sono indigeni Shahaptin dell'Altopiano del Nord-Ovest. La forma non raddoppiata del loro nome, Walla, ne esprime un diminutivo. Il nome Walla Walla è tradotto in diversi modi, ma più spesso come "molte acque".

Molti Walla Walla vivono nella Tribù Confederate della Riserva Indiana Umatilla, dove condividono il territorio e la struttura governativa con i Cayuse e gli Umatilla come parte delle Tribù Confederate della Riserva Umatilla. La riserva indiana è situata nell'area di Pendleton, in Oregon, Stati Uniti d'America, vicino alle Blue Mountains. Ci sono anche alcuni Walla Walla associati alle Tribù e Bande Confederate della Nazione Yakama, riconosciute a livello federale.

Storia
I Walla Walla sono una tribù di lingua sahaptin e dialetto Waiilatpuan che tradizionalmente abitava la regione interna del fiume Columbia negli attuali Stati Uniti nord-occidentali. Per secoli, prima che arrivassero i coloni europei, i Walla Walla, che consistevano in tre bande principali, occuparono il territorio lungo il fiume Walla Walla e lungo la confluenza dei fiumi Snake e Columbia; tale territorio è attualmente parte dell'Oregon settentrionale e dello Stato di Washington sud-orientale. Da questa zona, i Walla Walla seguivano un modello di pratiche stagionali di sussistenza simile a quelle delle tribù Yakama, Palouse, Umatilla e Wanapum.

Contatto con gli europei
Il primo contatto che i Walla Walla ebbero con gli americani di origine europea fu la Spedizione di Lewis e Clark. Nel primo incontro del 1805, gli statunitensi promisero al capo dei Walla Walla, Yellepit, che sarebbero tornati a far visita il popolo dopo aver visto l'Oceano Pacifico. La spedizione ritornò nell'aprile del 1806 e si trattenne nel villaggio di Yellepit, situato lungo il fiume Columbia vicino alla foce del fiume Walla Walla. Durante uno scambio, Yellepit donò a Clark con un cavallo bianco in cambio di un bollitore di rame. Gli statunitensi non avevano rifornimenti, tuttavia, Clark diede a Yellepit la sua spada personale, insieme a una quantità di polvere da sparo e palle da moschetto. Lewis e Clark consegnarono a Yellepit anche una medaglia per la pace con un ritratto del presidente Thomas Jefferson, da portare al collo e una piccola bandiera degli Stati Uniti. La comunità non incorporata di Yellepit, nello Stato di Washington, fu in seguito chiamata come il capo dei Walla Walla.

David Thompson della Compagnia del Nord-Ovest, in inglese North West Company (NWC), compagnia anglo-canadese, fu il successivo europeo ad arrivare nelle terre Walla Walla, nel 1811. A circa cinque miglia a monte dal villaggio di Yellepit, alla confluenza del fiume Snake e del fiume Columbia, Thompson ordinò di posizionare un palo. Una lettera allegata al palo reclamava il territorio per la Corona Britannica e affermava che la NWC intendeva costruire una postazione commerciale nel sito. Il palo e la lettera di Thompson erano destinati ai commercianti della Pacific Fur Company, una rivale statunitense della NWC. Continuando nella direzione a valle, Thompson si fermò nel villaggio di Yellepit e scoprì la bandiera e la medaglia lasciate dagli statunitensi. Thompson trovò Yellepit, che incoraggiò persino il piano di Thompson di creare una postazione commerciale nelle vicinanze, molto amichevole e intelligente. Per varie ragioni, la postazione non fu costruita fino al 1818, quando la NWC istituì la postazione Fort Nez Perces alla foce del fiume Walla Walla. Durante l'estate del 1811, Thompson incontrò anche il gran capo dei Walla Walla, Tumatapum, e il suo pari livello Quillquills Tuckapesten, gran capo dei Nimiipu, Ollicott, gran capo dei Cayuse e suo fratello Quahats, capo di guerra, e probabilmente, Kepowhan, gran capo dei Palus, e Illim-Spokanee, gran capo degli Spokane.

Tumatapum accolse con favore i mercanti della Hudson's Bay Company, dai quali gli Waiilatpuan (Wallawalla, Palouse, Nimiipu, Cayuse e Umatilla) ottennero i fucili preziosi nella guerra contro gli Snake e i Nitsitapi, e alla fine del decennio 1820' accettò la richiesta della Compagnia, danneggiata nei suoi interessi commerciali dalla perdurante guerra, di trattare la pace con gli Snake.

I Walla Wallas alla fine adottarono il mantenimento delle mandrie di bestiame, arrivando fino alla Nuova Svizzera in California nel 1844 per assicurarsi ulteriore bestiame. Si stima che 40 Walla Walla, Nimiipu e Cayuse, sotto il capo dei Walla Walla Piupiumaksmaks, partirono per la spedizione a Sud. Lungo la strada la spedizione radunò cavalli randagi, non sapendo che, in questo modo, i cavalli randagi venivano considerati rubati. In Nuova Svizzero si svolsero dei negoziati tra uno dei figli di Piupiumaksmaks, Toayahnu e un dipendente di Sutter. I due uomini entrarono in una disputa e Toayahnu fu ucciso. Nonostante i timori dello staff di Sutter di ritorsioni da parte dei Walla Walla, nel 1846 Piupiumaksmaks ritornò con una piccola banda di guerrieri e famiglie e dichiarò intenzioni pacifiche. La spedizione di ritorno aveva membri contagiati dal morbillo, che iniziò a diffondersi attraverso l'Altopiano del Columbia, decimando le popolazioni indigene. Il vaiolo e altre malattie vennero introdotte nella zona, contribuendo ulteriormente al declino della popolazione di Walla Walla. Nonostante ciò, i Walla Walla mantennero il possesso di estese mandrie di cavalli, essendo questa la "principale ricchezza" della tribù.

I Walla Walla erano una delle nazioni tribali al Walla Walla Council (1855) (insieme a Cayuse, Nimiipu, Umatilla e Yakama, nonché i Palouse, che pure avevano inviato soltanto alcuni osservatori), che firmarono il trattato di Walla Walla.

Walla Walla famosi
Capi famosi o altre personalità furono:

 Tumatapum o Tamattapam (Healed Knee, Ginocchio Guarito, nome forse assunto a seguito delle cure prodigategli dagli esploratori per una ferita a un ginocchio): capo supremo degli Walla Walla ai tempi dell'arrivo di Meriwether Lewis e William Clark, intrattenne, durante il periodo successivo, buoni rapporti con gli Statunitensi nonostante alcuni seri incidenti da costoro provocati nel 1812-1813 (quali il linciaggio di uno Waiilatpuan accusato di avere rubato una mandria di 32 cavalli agli "astoriani" di John Clarke: il grande capo redarguì duramente l'astoriano, ma gli evitò le conseguenze della sua azione, come si oppose a una spedizione di 2000 guerrieri Waiilatpuan contro Fort Astoria, appena ceduto alla North-west Company) e garantendo la sicurezza dei gruppi della Compagnia nel 1815.
 Yellepit (probabilmente, Trading Friend, Amico Mercante, forse identificabile con Eagle, Aquila): primo fra gli Walla Walla a incontrare la spedizione di Meriwether Lewis e William Clark, ospitò gli Statunitensi nel proprio villaggio; morì all'incirca cinquantenne intorno al 1825, facendosi seppellire  ancora vivo nella tomba del figlio minore dopo la morte, pochi mesi prima, del maggiore.
 Piupiumaksmaks (Uccello Giallo): figlio maggiore di Tumatapum, gli succedette alla sua morte, intorno al 1830, quale gran capo degli Walla Walla sui quali governò fino alla morte esercitando notevoli prestigio e autorevolezza su tutti i popoli Waiilatpuan (cognato di Tuekekas, il capo di origine Cayuse, dei Nimiipu e fratellastro dei capi Cayuse Wilemwutkin, Tawatoway e Achekaia); intrattenne rapporti complicati coi bianchi, mutandosi l'originale amicizia in diffidenza e ostilità dopo l'assassinio del figlio Toyahnu nel 1845, ma rifiutò di unirsi alla rivolta dei Cayuse di Tiloukaikt nel 1847, poi,nel 1849, si unì alla rivolta dei Palouse, capeggiati da Old Hahtalekin e Tilcoax, e dei Cayuse di Tauwtaway e Achekaia; nel 1855, insieme agli alleati, sottoscrisse con molta reticenza il trattato imposto da Isaac I Stevens, per poi ribellarsi nuovamente insieme agli alleati; catturato mentre si era recato a parlamentare, fu assassinato nel 1855.
 Toyahnu ("Elija Hedding"): figlio di Piupiumaksmaks, fu inviato alla scuola missionaria di Fort Garry ma, tornato fra la sua gente nel 1839, preferì riadottare le antiche tradizioni e dedicarsi all'allevamento di cavalli; nel 1844, col padre e altri guerrieri, raggiunse la "Alta California" e le terre di Johann Sutter nei possedimenti di New Helvetia, dove, nel 1845, durante un alterco fu assassinato da un dipendente di Sutter, provocando un lungo conflitto, anche legale, tra il padre e i Californiani.
 Homily o Homli (.....): nipote collaterale di Piupiumaksmaks, dopo l'assassinio del cugino rivaleggiò col fratello di lui Wetis Tsikaunin (Afraid-of-the-Earth, Intimorito-dalla-Terra) per la successione al grande capo assassinato; rivale del "profeta" Salish Smohalla, fu sostenuto contro di lui dal potente zio, ostile al "profeta" per gravi offese ricevute (la moglie più giovane sarebbe stata sedotta dal "profeta"); dopo anni di rivalità a coesistenza con Wetis Tsikaunin, alla morte di costui, nel 1863, divenne capo incontrastato degli Walla Walla.

I need for a current script-project an unique identification of different schematics in DxDesigner. I first thought of using the name of the schematic, but it can be changed by the user.
raise an event, when the schematic name is changed. I can update the saved name in my script and don't loose the connection to the right schematic.
get an ID, which is independent from the name. Like the ID for symbols.
I also thought about using a symbol on the schematic as an ID, but as schematics could have more than one sheet, it would be either not consistent or hard to maintain.

Janaury 21, 2020
For the last 24 hours.
Breach of the Peace
Shortly after 7:00 am, police were called to a disturbance outside a residence. A female youth was reportedly acting out, possibly in a state of drug induced psychosis. She was behaving erratic, jumping in and out of traffic. As her family was not in a position to keep her safe in her state, she was arrested and lodged at Brandon Correctional Centre.
At approximately 4:40 pm, while on patrol, police came across a male pedestrian known to be the subject of an arrest warrant. The 46-year-old male was arrested and will appear in court on September 9, 2019 for Breach of Probation.
Shortly before 7:00 pm, staff at a business in the 900 block of 18th street N, contacted police to report a male approaching other customers if they wanted to purchase drugs. When police attended, the male was found to be highly intoxicated. To prevent anything further from occurring, the 33-year-old male was arrested and lodged at Brandon Correctional Centre. No drugs were found on him at the time.
Theft Under $5000
Police received a report of the theft of merchandise from a business in the 1500 block of 18th street at approximately 8:25 pm. The 32-year-old female was located in the parking lot area of the business and arrested. She was lodged at Brandon Correctional Centre and will appear in court today.
IPDA
At approximately 11:40 pm, police came across an intoxicated pedestrian while on patrol in the 1100 block of 18th street.

with the people who care about them.
While we provide emergency medical care for more than 13,000 wild animals, 70% of those (roughly 9,000 animals) will be infants.
This time of year is very difficult from a funding standpoint. We're slow with admits (only a few a day compared to 100+ in May and June), end-of-year giving is done but we're outlaying thousands of dollars to gear up for the nursery season.
Please donate today. And share this with your friends even if you cannot - you have a powerful network that can mean a difference for sick and injured wildlife. We need your funds more than ever at this time of year!
By now you know what we do and how we do it.
"Every action we make affects nature, including the animals we share the land with. I get to give back to all of those amazing creatures. It is a beautiful feeling."
"Working at WRC means caring wholeheartedly for animals that otherwise would have no second chance at life. It means being an advocate and fighting for those animals who have no voice, and who may be easily overlooked, undervalued or simply pushed aside. It means demonstrating compassion and empathy. It means making a difference not only in animals' lives, but in people's lives too, including my own."
"The work that I do could not be more fulfilling! Every day I expand my knowledge and share what I know with others, improving the quality of life for animals while fostering a new appreciation for, and understanding of, wildlife within our community."
Spring not only means basketball... it means baby wild animals! Nearly 80% of all our patients will come to us between April and end of August. Thousands of orphaned, sick and injured wild songbirds, ducklings, fox kits, squirrels and bunnies all rely on the day-to-day care provided by people just like you.
Since you'll be providing wild animals the care they need to grow and thrive, you do need to be 18 years old and be able to make a weekly, 4-hr. shift. We have a lot of shifts to choose from, just keep in mind it's weekly for 3 months, so choose a shift you can always make - the animals are relying on you to be there for them!
In addition to feeding the animals you'll be cleaning their cages, doing their laundry and dishes - in general being their housekeeper.
Remember these are wild animals returning to the wild. This means no talking to them, petting them, naming them - we want them to remain wild!
Thank you for helping us care for our patients.
Nearly 80% of all our patients will come to us between April and end of August. Thousands of orphaned, sick and injured wild songbirds, ducklings, fox kits, squirrels and bunnies all rely on our medical expertise to return to the wild.
We rely on YOU to be able to provide that care.
WRC receives its funding from people just like you. We receive no state or federal funds. None. Just donations from people who care about giving sick, injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance at life.
We do not pick up animals - people of all ages, genders and ethnicity bring them to us.
Day to day care? Provided by more than 600 volunteers!
Releasing the animals? Done by our volunteers!
Funding of our work? People just like you. Just a tad over $1million is donated by people who care.
Why does Minnesota have the nation's largest independent wildlife hospital? Because Minnesotans care!

Pinot noir is a fickle grape. Anyone who is familiar with it, knows pinot noir is one of the most versatile grapes and will present itself quite differently depending on the terrior, winemaking, or various other factors. It is one of those grapes that no matter how familiar you are with it, no matter how well you think you know the grape, there will always be a pinot noir wine out there that can completely surprise you.
Speaking of surprising. As I feel I need to constantly be learning about this grape and its many personalities, we recently attended a blind tasting of pinot noirs. And if you happen to live in southern NH and have not been to WineNot Boutique - shame on you. Svetlana and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and the selection can't be beat in the area. Stop reading this and go now.
Komtur Ekko Templar Pinot Noir 2013, Moravia, Czech Republic.
Yes! OMG!! I was trying really hard not to squeal with delight among these very nice, polite people who just wanted to learn more about pinot noir from such a wine expert like Svetlana. But - "SHE HAS A MORAVIAN PINOT ON HERE!" was screaming in my head. I just couldn't contain my excitement.
I'm sure that sounds like I went a bit overboard - just a little too excited for something so simple. But while Moravia is becoming more and more discovered and popular, it still is for the most part a huge unknown to people. And I want everyone to know about it - and hopefully love it as much as I do. So seeing it on a tasting list - well, it was like Moravian wine made it to the big game.
Then came a quick realization. Could we tell which in the flight was the Moravian Pinot? I went from excitement to anxious in a hot second when I realized I was kind of getting put to the test. Without anyone knowing of course - but stressful nonetheless.
Luckily, the Templar was indicative of the terroir of Moravia, a great example of Moravian Pinot Noir. Moravia is cool climate and has a terrior that shows beautifully through its wines. The wine was a lively shade of ruby with a bit of garnet, with fresh aromas of red fruits like cranberries and currant. While the aromas started to bring me back to our trips in Moravia, the taste quickly brought me right into the vineyards. The light bodied wine brought bright cherry flavors with earthy notes and a wonderful acidity that provided a perfect balance. Ahhhh….it was like coming home again.
Once I brought myself out of my happy place, I looked around and took in how others were reacting to the wine. And that made me smile. As a blind tasting, no one was sure which of the three in the flight we were poured. But as people inhaled, sipped, and savored the wine, faces lit up with intrigue and delight. Mutterings of "Mmmm this is quite good," or "Wow I quite like this" were heard all over the room. Music to my ears!
Luckily, the Moravian wine was the first poured, so I quickly was able to concentrate on the rest of the flights and did what I came to do - learn more about Pinot Noirs of the world. The selections were creatively distinct and flights were matched in a way to help us identify terriors or styles. Best of all, as people were leaving and purchasing bottles from the flights, I noticed quite a few picking up the Templar Pinot Noir over the Burgundy or Oregon bottles we tasted. It is great that people are open to new experiences and seeing pinot noir in a different light!

Toni Morrison on writing, knowledge and sin
By Daniel Aloi Lauren Gold |
Jason Koski/University Photography
Toni Morrison, center, discusses her work and her characters with Cornell English faculty members Kenneth McClane and Margo Crawford, Oct. 2 in Uris Auditorium.
Acclaimed author Toni Morrison, M.A. '55, returned to campus Oct. 1-2 to read from and talk about her work. She was a guest of the Creative Writing Program's Centennial Plus Five Reading Series.
Morrison gave a public reading from her latest novel, "A Mercy," to a full house Oct. 1 in Bailey Hall, and reminisced briefly about her time in Ithaca (in addition to her graduate studies, she was an A.D. White Professor-at-Large from 1997 to 2003).
"It's always nice for me to come back," she said. "My memories are strong about this place; important. And the two times I have been here for sustained periods have always been extraordinary."
Morrison read two passages from "A Mercy" in the voice of the central character, a young slave girl on her way from a farm in upstate New York to find a man who might cure her mistress of smallpox. The story, which takes place in colonial America in the 1680s, explores what Morrison called "a completely unknown, almost unarticulated space and time.
"It was a fascinating journey for me in terms of research, but much more in terms of trying to imagine a group of people here in this country trying to make it," she said. "Decent, normal people who understood the dangers as well as the benefits of sticking together."
Morrison received two standing ovations from the Bailey hall audience. President David Skorton called her "one of the greatest of our, or any, time … She reminds us that each individual's conscience and memory have something to contribute to our world."
On Oct. 2 in Uris Auditorium, she talked about her characters, her creative process and research for such books as "Sula," "Beloved" and "Jazz" in response to questions from faculty members Kenneth McClane and Margo Crawford and the audience at "A Literary Conversation With Toni Morrison."
Morrison took her seat on stage and admonished, "Listen photographers, you can do what you like, but do not put this stuff on Facebook!"
McClane praised Morrison as "a writer who has taught me more about writing, about narrative, about language, about poetry -- and I'm speaking now as a poet. There is no one ... who is more trenchant about what it is to be human and on this planet than she."
Addressing the importance of writing to her narrator in "A Mercy," Morrison said, "She is not the whining, clinging little lovelorn girl anymore, and she has learned how to be that way through language. There is literacy on the one hand, which is book learning; then there's reading the world."
She talked about the long history of denying literacy to black people in this country, and the related notion that "knowledge, in religious circles, is a sin."
"The equating of knowledge with sin and error and danger floats about in contemporary society," she said. "That encourages anti-intellectualism. The opposite of knowledge is faith."
She writes her first drafts in longhand, and said she is so productive because "I don't do anything else. I don't go on vacation, I don't ski … I read books, I teach books, I write books. The real core of all that is fiction. I'm free in there. No one tells me what to do in there."
"A Mercy" is being taught in several English courses this year, Department of English chair Ellis Hanson said in his introduction. Riché Richardson, African-American literature, will teach a spring course on Morrison, and delivered a personal tribute at the Oct. 2 event, "Journeying with Toni Morrison's Writings: From Being 'Girls Together' to Becoming Mothers in a New Millennium."
Morrison also attended a luncheon with members of Black Students United and a private reception at the A.D. White House, and signed several copies of her books, available at the Cornell Store.
Her visit and the Creative Writing Reading Series are supported by two anonymous donors.

SUSSEX, Va. – The discovery by a hunter of Kenneth Moore's body, wrapped in trash bags and left in a shallow ditch, left family and community reeling. Two suspects were recently arrested, more than two weeks after his murder.
"He had a backpack, his notebook, computer and he had a nice phone, wallet, credit cards," mom Patti Bass said. "Why did they have to kill him like that?"
Evidence examined at the state lab will be crucial in the Moore murder case, but court documents suggest there was an eyewitness to the disturbing killing.
Sussex Deputies announced Friday the arrests of Erik Obando, Christopher Crowder and a juvenile in connection to Moore's murder.
"We had an enormous amount of phone calls that came into the sheriff's office," said Sheriff Ernes Giles Sr. "We credit the community in solving this."
Moore was hitch hiking to Richmond when deputies believe he was randomly attacked.
The original crime happened in Prince George County and his body dropped in the ditch, Crime Insider sources told Reporter Jon Burkett. Moore was cut across his throat with a pocket knife, those sources said.
"It's been a long time since we have seen a murder as such," Sheriff Giles said.
Kenneth Moore of Franklin was hitchhiking to Richmond when he died.
The sheriff's office believes it was a random crime gone bad.
Deputies said there's nothing to suggest Moore knew any of his attackers. Crowder is from Dinwiddie, and Obando is from Richmond though he is in the United States illegally, from Guatemala, according to Sheriff Giles. Obando is also on an ICE detainer along with no bond, Crime Insider sources said.
Law enforcement said at this they do not believe there is any connection to MS13 gang activity.
"I love my son and I want him to be at peace," Bass said, hoping soon for closure and justice.
UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated Moore was a graduate student at the University of Mary Washington. Moore had been a student at the school, but was not enrolled at the time of his death.


The Returned End fitting for handrail creates a clean finished end to a handrail at its termination without requiring a Newel Post though it can be used atop a Pin-Top post or balusters. As with all of our handrail fittings they are precision manufactured to match our straight and bending handrail profiles. However, because wood expands and contracts at differing rates due to temperature and humidity, expect some sanding to insure a perfect joint.

Friday 11th March – Thursday 23rd March 2016
FLORA BY BRUCE SLORACH
Discover the weird, wild and wonderful beauty of Bruce Slorach's native flower paintings.
The unique beauty of Australian native flora and fauna is celebrated in a painting and drawing exhibition titled "Flora", opening Friday 11th March through to Thursday 23rd at Saint Cloche Gallery, Paddington during Art Month Sydney 2016.
For more than twenty years, Bruce Slorach has enjoyed an extensive and rewarding career both in the arts, design, graphic and textile design.
"I've been painting since I was teenager and have explored a range of diverse influences however I've always returned to the idea of a 'sense of place' and what surrounds me. I've never fitted into a particular 'box' but I've always loved the bush and native foliage. For the last three years, my practice has revolved around native flora and an exploration of historical botanical works. I love the way Australian plants have a very distinct other worldly personality and an almost Jurassic presence."
Bruce has participated in many exhibitions during his career including London's prestigious V&A Museum, The Victorian Gallery (NGV), The Australian National Gallery and The Powerhouse Museum (Sydney). His artworks are permanent acquisitions at several of these galleries. Bruce's body of work continues to feature regularly in many well-recognised Australian and international magazines and newspapers.
Aside from a five-year period as Creative Director at Mambo Graphics, Bruce has been a self-employed designer and artist, beginning his career in the mid 1980s. For the past twelve years Bruce has operated Deuce Design with Sophie Tatlow, a creatively based design and environmental graphics studio. The studio is responsible for creating some of Sydney's most memorable and creative graphic design work.
Since 2012, Bruce has been at the artistic helm of cult textile brand, Utopia Goods. Utopia Goods is recognised as one of Autralia's leading soft furnishing textiles brands, producing a unique and quality, hand crafted product featuring the mesmerising whimsy of his distinct hand.

Ok, I know I posted a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about what song I think they should have played in the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending, but I just realized I was wrong, very wrong, indeed. Here, play this link while watching the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending with the sound down and tell me they don't sync up perfectly. Start the song at about when the butterfly flies out the window. This is seriously moving.


In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted, add the onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the hot dogs and cook to heat them through.
Whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat in the skillet, pour in the eggs, and sprinkle the cheese on top. Cook, stirring often, until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve hot.

report back: maccas practice day hearing
Today I attended the Practice Day Hearing at VCAT, for the McDonalds, Tecoma appeal, to see what orders the tribunal would make in terms of how the appeal will run later this year.
The good news is that the community has been granted 3 days to present their case against McDonalds. This is a great result. Claire Ferres Miles spoke for the No Maccas in the Hills group and put forward a number of requests including asking the tribunal for 20 community members/groups to speak as well as 5 experts. Deputy President, Helen Gibson, granted the community their request and has set aside 3 days of the hearing for them.
The Deputy President has also set aside 2 days for McDonalds and 1 day for council to present, so in total six days have been set aside for the appeal hearing, which starts Monday 6 August.
No Maccas in the Hills asked for a number of things, including the more time for community to lodge their statement of grounds (objections) due to the timing of notification by McDonalds over the Christmas holiday period. Deputy President Gibson felt that their had been adequate notification and that the community had had good opportunity to participate.
No Maccas in the Hills also asked for the venue to be moved closer to home due to the high level of community interest. Deputy President Gibson said all hearings were conducted at 55 King Street, due to the recording facilities in place. She did say she would request a larger hearing room in the complex to accomodate community who wanted to attend in the public gallery.
In relation to the request for advance notice of scheduling speakers, No Maccas in the Hills were told it's up to the community to organise who's presenting when, so at least there'll be ample opportunity to coordinate people who need to take time off work or other duties to present the case on behalf of the community.
The request in relation to material being circulated to all 304 parties was declined as all information is available at the council offices. I'll also be making sure that the information is at council's Community Links in Upwey and Monbulk.
No Maccas in the Hills request for advance circulation of expert reports was also declined. Deputy President Gibson was not persuaded to change the timeframe (10 days is the prescribed timeframe) citing the unlikely submission of amended plans and doubt that the witness material is likely to depart from that already in the public arena. She felt the case wasn't unusual enough to warrant a change.
It's terrific to know that the community has been allocated ample time to present their case. Don't forget to mark 6 August to 13 August in your diary if you want to attend the appeal as a public onlooker, you can come for a day, a week, an hour, it would be great to see you there.

9 Surprising Period Side Effects That Many Women Don't Know About
By Lindsay E. Mack
Periods bring a whole host of crappy side effects, many of which are widely discussed. For instance, cramps are acknowledged as an especially painful part of the period process, but there are some more surprising period side effects that deserve more attention from the medical community.
Your period can affect anything from your vision to your hydration levels, but why does it have so much power? The short answer: hormones. Low levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone trigger the start of menstruation, according to SexInfo Online. But these hormones affect more than your cycle; they can influence everything from sleep habits to anxiety levels. Basically, the far-reaching effects of hormones are difficult to overstate.
In general, these effects are not terrible — they're just things you might have written off beforehand. So if you experience painful issues in the bathroom or extreme fatigue with every period, just remember that you aren't alone. Plenty of other women deal with these same issues, even if they aren't talked about that often. Read on to learn about all the weird body stuff that can be caused by your monthly visitor. And as always, if something about your health is causing concern, then reach out to a doctor for advice.
1. You Experience Dehydration
Keep your water bottle topped-up during period week. For some women with very heavy periods, the blood loss can lead to dehydration, according to HuffPo.
2. You Lose Pain Tolerance
There's a reason most salons warn you about getting waxed when you're close to or on your period. A woman's pain perception is higher during the premenstrual and menstrual phases, according to a study in Perceptual and Motor Skills.
3. You Get Insomnia
If you feel like an insomniac every time Aunt Flo rolls into town, you're not imagining things. Thanks to a drop in the slightly sedative hormone progesterone, many women experience sleeplessness during their period, according to HuffPo. Combine this with the stomach issues and general aches of period life, and it's no wonder sleep is so difficult to achieve.
4. You Get Super Painful Poops
For many women, going to the bathroom gets difficult during their period. When you're menstruating, according to BuzzFeed, your uterus engorges, putting pressure on the colon and causing constipation.
5. Your Brain Is Foggy
Spacing out is a normal, if annoying, side effect. That's because the drops in estrogen can cause brain fog, according to Fitness.
6. Your Vision Blurs
Hormones rule basically everything in the body, even your eyesight. In fact, the elevated estrogen levels during menstruation can cause blurred vision, according to Essilor of America. If things seem a little fuzzy, you know what's to blame.
7. Your Anxiety Rises
Again, hormones control the universe, or so it seems. Anxiety symptoms sometimes increase during your period because of changes in estrogen and progesterone, according to Everyday Health. In addition, if you've suffered from painful periods in the past, then you may experience anticipatory anxiety when your next period happens.
8. You Feel Achey All Over
Some women experience period pain all over. Because the pelvic region contains so many nerves, irritation may cause back or leg pain, according to Women's Health.
9. You're Wiped Out
Period fatigue is a real thing. Because the hormone estrogen drops during your period, it's common for women to feel exhausted during this time, according to Cosmopolitan. If you just want to chill on the couch and do nothing for a while, it's a perfectly normal response to your period.
