This half term we were lucky enough to take part in Forest School activities delivered to us by Rachel. For the first week we carried out a leaf hunt in pairs where we hunted high and low looking for the leaves pictured on the cards. We then used crayons and made rubbings of each leaf that we successfully found.
We really enjoyed the second week. We were split into two groups and each took it in turns to make dens and jewellery. For the dens we used ropes, wooden pegs and big pieces of material. Before we could start the dens we all had to learn the half hitch knot. At first we found this tricky but we all persevered and all managed a knot in the end. We tied the knots to safely secure the rope to the trees. We made sure our dens were secure by using wooden pegs. We were all extra careful when using the hammer to get the pegs into the ground. When we weren't making dens we got to make a bracelet or a necklace by using string and pieces of wood as beads. We had to use a small thin screw driver to make a hole in the wood so we could thread the string through. We loved wearing them in class to show them off to the other children.
During our final week we all worked together to build a fire. We had to collect dry wood as this is the wood that burns the best. This was hard as it had rained a couple of days before. We luckily managed to collect enough wood for the fire. We used thicker logs to make a barrier for the outside of the fire to show where we could and could not walk. We all sat around the fire but made sure we sat safely on our knees and not too close. We were all given two marshmallows on a kebab stick and a chocolate digestive. In small groups we took it in turns to carefully toast our marshmallows. Some marshmallows were a little more well done (burnt) than others but they all tasted yummy. You could tell because we were all so quiet when eating them. We made a sandwich with the chocolate digestives and the marshmallows, these are called Smores.
The Forest School fun carried on in the next term. During the first week we had to match leaves to their seeds. This was challenging so we used books to help us match the leaves to the pictures which helped us identify the seed. For the second half of the session we got into pairs and one of us wore a blind fold. We had to guide our partners to a tree where they had to hug it to find out its size and smell it to see if we could work out which tree it was. We then had to go back from where we started and see if we could guess which tree it was. We all managed to correctly identify our trees.
We enjoyed the second week of Forest Schools when we got to make an arrow which we then threw at various targets to score points. We made the arrows by using thin twigs which we tied together using the half hitch knot which the first group also learnt. We found it easier to tie the knots when we were sat down and the sticks were between our knees. We used different techniques to throw the arrows and worked out which one was the best technique to use. Some of us managed to hit the 20 target every time.
We also got to build a fire and enjoy smores on our final week. We collected logs to use as seats. We had to make sure that the logs were wide and small so they were comfortable to sit on.
We are all looking forward to doing more Forest School fun activities with Rachel in the new year.

Inhalants Treatment
People are generally on the lookout for obvious and illegal drug use in the lives of those they love — but with inhalants, it's not so simple. Everyone home in the United States likely has multiple items within it that appear innocent but can be inhaled to deliver a high, leading to potentially serious health consequences.
More than 750,000 Americans use inhalants for the first time each year, according to a study from the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Those who abuse inhalants can have difficulty stopping their use of them and can even become addicted. Many of those who abuse inhalants start young, and while use usually tapers off as they grow older, sometimes after they start using a different drug, that's not always the case.
Unfortunately, inhalant use is a continuing trend, according to the National Survey of Drug Use and Health. In 2017, 9.3 percent of Americans age 12 or older reported having used inhalants at some point in the lifetime.
Those who are experiencing a problem with inhalant abuse or addiction don't have to face it alone; inhalants treatment programs are available! The Phoenix Recovery and Counseling Centers offer individuals and their family treatment for inhalants and hope for a life free from the harmful influence of inhalant abuse.
What are Inhalants and What is Inhalant Abuse?
Inhalants are substances that people take only by inhaling through the nose or mouth — also known as sniffing, huffing, ballooning, glading, dusting, snorting or bagging, depending on the method used for inhaling, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse and MedlinePlus. A substance repurposed as an inhalant drug can have mind-altering (psychoactive) properties if inhaled, meaning they get the user "high." Because the common household or medical products used as inhalants are not intended for that purpose, those who use a substance as such are participants in inhalant abuse and could be in need of inhalants treatment.
Types of Inhalants
Many types of inhalants exist. Substances that can serve as an inhalant drug include solvents, aerosol sprays, gases and nitrites. Chemicals used as inhalants are often commonly found around the home or at the workplace. NIDA's website provides the following substance list of examples of products used as inhalants:
Solvents — Paint thinners and removers, dry cleaning fluids, gasoline, lighter fluid, correction fluid, felt-tip marker fluid, electronic contact cleaners, glue
Aerosols — Spray paints, hair spray, deodorant spray, computer cleaning products, vegetable oil spray
Gases — Butane lighters, propane tanks, whipped cream aerosols, ether, chloroform, nitrous oxide
Nitrites — These are no longer sold legally, according to MedlinePlus, but when sold illegally may be labeled as video head cleaner, room odorizer, leather cleaner, liquid aroma; nitrites can also be found in prescription medications to treat chest pain
Some inhalants street names, according to MedlinePlus, include air blast, bold, chroming, discorama, glad, hippie crack, moon gas, oz, poor man's pot, rush, snappers, whippets and whiteout.
Are Inhalants Addictive?
Repeatedly using inhalants can lead a person to become addicted to them — also known as developing a huffing addiction — according to NIDA. Signs of inhalant abuse and addiction can include health problems and problems fulfilling obligations at home, school or work.
Signs of Inhalant Abuse
The following signs may indicate someone is during inhalants, according to MedlinePlus:
Smell of chemicals on breath or clothing
Constant cough and runny nose
Dilated pupils or watery eyes
Excessive tiredness
Hiding rags or containers
Stains from paint or other chemicals on clothing, hands or face
Blisters or rash on the face
Low appetite, weight loss, nausea and vomiting
What are the Side Effects of Inhalants?
Many different side effects of inhalants, also known as huffing side effects, can impact those who abuse inhalants. Inhalants impact the central nervous system, slowing down brain activity and resulting in numerous side effects. Some of the short term effects of inhalants include mental problems, slurred speech, lessened coordination, a "high" or euphoric feeling, dizziness, hallucinations, delusions, vomiting, drowsiness, and headache.
Along with those side effects, inhalants can impact both the brain and the body in lasting ways, according to NIDA and MedlinePlus. The long term effects of inhalants can affect both the brain and the body.
Inhalants effects on the brain
Brain damage from reduced oxygen to the brain
Delayed behavioral development
Inhalants effects on the body
Nerve damage leading to limb spasms and poor coordination
Bone marrow damage
Liver damage
Kidney damage
Birth defects (when used during pregnancy)
Abuse of some inhalants, such as highly concentrated solvents and aerosol sprays, can also result in overdose, seizures, coma, cardiac arrest, suffocation and death — even if it's a person's first time using an inhalant.
Withdrawal Symptoms of Inhalants
According to NIDA, withdrawal symptoms of inhalants can include nausea, reduced appetite, sweating, trouble sleeping, and changes in mood.
How is Inhalant Abuse Treated?
Medication is not used to treat inhalant abuse. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and counseling programs are the primary forms of treatment for people experiencing inhalant abuse. This therapy helps people to recognize the situations where they are likely to abuse inhalants, and equips them with the tools to avoid or find productive ways to cope with such situations, according to NIDA.
What Does Inhalant Abuse Treatment Look Like at The Phoenix?
The Phoenix Recovery Center is equipped to offer therapy and treatment for inhalants abuse. Our services include an Inpatient Residential Program, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Day Program, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and General Outpatient Program (GOP).

Dinitrogen Activation by Fryzuk's [Nb(P2N2] Complex and Comparison with the Laplaza-Cummins [Mo{N(R)Ar}3] and Schrock [Mo(N3N] Systems
Christian, G and Terrett, RNL and Stranger, R and Cavigliasso, G and Yates, BF, Dinitrogen Activation by Fryzuk's [Nb(P2N2] Complex and Comparison with the Laplaza-Cummins [Mo{N(R)Ar}3] and Schrock [Mo(N3N] Systems, Chemistry: A European Journal, 15, (42) pp. 11373-11383. ISSN 0947-6539 (2009) [Refereed Article]
DOI: doi:10.1002/chem.200900539
The reaction profile of N2 with Fryzuk's [Nb(P2N 2)] (P2N2 = PhP(CH2SiMe 2NSiMe2CH2)2PPh) complex is explored by density functional calculations on the model [Nb(PH3) 2(NH2)2] system. The effects of ligand constraints, coordination number, metal and ligand donor atom on the reaction energetics are examined and compared to the analogous reactions of N2 with the three-coordinate LaplazaCummins [Mo{N(R)Ar}3] and four-coordinate Schrock [Mo(N3N)] (N3N = [(RNCH 2CH2)3N]3-) systems. When the model system is constrained to reflect the geometry of the P2N2 macrocycle, the N-N bond cleavage step, via a N2-bridged dimer intermediate, is calculated to be endothermic by 345 kJ mol-1. In comparison, formation of the single-N-bridged species is calculated to be exothermic by 119 kJ mol-1, and consequently is the thermodynamically favoured product, in agreement with experiment. The orientation of the amide and phosphine ligands has a significant effect on the overall reaction enthalpy and also the N-N bond cleavage step. When the ligand constraints are relaxed, the overall reaction enthalpy increases by 240 kJ mol-1, but the N2 cleavage step remains endothermic by 35 kJ mol-1. Changing the phosphine ligands to amine donors has a dramatic effect, increasing the overall reaction exothermicity by 190 kJ mol-1 and that of the N-N bond cleavage step by 85 kJ mol-1, making it a favourable process. Replacing NbIIwith MoII has the opposite effect, resulting in a reduction in the overall reaction exothermicity by over 16OkJ mol-1. The reaction profile for the model [Nb(P2N 2)] system is compared to those calculated for the model Laplaza and Cummins [Mo{N(R)Ar}3] and Schrock [Mo(N3N)] systems. For both [Mo(N3N)] and [Nb(P2N2)], the intermediate dimer is calculated to lie lower in energy than the products, although the final N-N cleavage step is much less endothermic for [Mo(N3N)], In contrast, every step of the reaction is favourable and the overall exothermicity is greatest for [Mo{N(R)Ar}3], and therefore this system is predicted to be most suitable for dinitrogen cleavage. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The Eagles 1978 Caricature
The Eagles 1978 Caricature, illustrated here in 1978 with Joe Walsh age 31, Don Felder age 31, Don Henley age 31, Timothy B. Schmidt age 31 and Glenn Frey age 30.
The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. The founding members were Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals) and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals).
The group's eponymous debut album was recorded in England in February 1972 with producer Glyn Johns. Released on June 1, 1972, "Eagles" was a breakthrough success, yielding three Top 40 singles.
"Take It Easy" (co-written by Jackson Browne), "Witchy Woman" and the soft country rock ballad "Peacefully Easy Feeling" launched the band to instant success.
Their follow up album, "Desperado" produced two more hits, "Tequila Sunrise" and "Desperado".
"Hotel California", released on December 8, 1976, was the band's fifth studio album and the first to feature Walsh. The album took a year and a half to complete, a process which, along with touring, drained the band. The album's first single, "New Kid in Town," became the Eagles' third number-one single.
The song "Hotel California", the title track, topped the charts in May 1977 and became the Eagles' signature song.
The album won Grammys for "Record of the Year" ("Hotel California") and "Best Arrangement for Voices" ("New Kid in Town"). Hotel California topped the charts and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammy Awards, but lost to Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours".
In early 1976, the band released their first compilation album, "Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)". The album became the highest-selling album of the 20th century in the United States.
In September 1977, Randy Meisner (bass/vocals) left the band and was replaced with Poco bass man Timothy B. Schmidt. Back in 1971, Meisner was also the bass player for Poco and left to join The Eagles.
Following the death of Glenn Frey in January 2016, Henley stated in several interviews that he did not think the band would perform again. However, the Eagles continued performing in 2017 with guest musicians Deacon Frey (son of Glenn) and Vince Gill.

Scuba diving is a popular sport in Greece and the Greek islands. The Greek sea is a wonderful place to discover, full of rare fish species and impressive sea plants. The amazing thing about the Greek seas is that divers get to explore many ship wrecks, even wrecks of ancient triremes, Medieval vessels and war ships from World War II.
Many scuba centers and clubs for diving in Greece, some based on the beaches and others in hotel premises. They offer the necessary equipment for diving and also courses for all ages and levels.
Here is our guide with 89 scuba diving centers in Greece and the Greek islands. All centers and clubs for Greece diving have a description, photos and occasionally links to their website. Requests are sent directly to the managers of these diving centers. You will find bellow information about clubs for diving in Greece: Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Corfu, Zakynthos and more.
Atlantis Diving Centre is located in Nikiti, at the peninsula of Sithonia. They provide training programs for all ages and all levels. Also with their boat, they organize diving excursions in the safe waters of the peninsula and to remote islets closeby.
Diving in Mykonos means diving into the past and antiquity with each stroke of your wing. Everywhere you find traces of old Greek and Roman UW sceneries, canyons and unique visibility of 30-40 meters. An intact flora and fauna where you can find octopuses, grouper and many shoals of barakoundas and mackerels. Diving here is also wreck diving: Ships out old like from newer times have sunk here. In only 10 minutes with the boat attainable it offers, all advantages, of a wreck: lain near a varies reef with depths between 20-30 m, the wreck is in good condition.
Kefalonia Diving Center was established in 1997 by Giannis Chrysafis, a professional technical diver. It has branches in Fiscardo as well as Lassi and provides diving courses and trips.

Review: 'The Shop Around the Corner' still charms after 80th anniversary
by InSessionFilm.com's Brett Doze
Just the other day, a friend and I had a discussion about what the last true classic Christmas film might be. While we get a number of films centered around the holiday every year (without even including the ridiculous number of Hallmark movies), it feels like a rare occurrence to get that holiday movie that becomes yearly viewing. That makes it even more astounding that such films used to not only be critically praised, but even nominated for Best Picture. Three such films received that honor just in 1946 and 1947 alone. And though it did not reach quite those heights, The Shop Around the Corner earns a place alongside those holiday classics such as It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.
Though The Shop Around the Corner was released in January of 1940, it's a film made to be seen in December, leading up to the Christmas holiday. It's a romance taking place primarily in the titular setting, a leather goods shop in Budapest owned by Mr. Matuschek (Frank Morgan). Matuschek's best employee is Alfred Kralik (James Stewart), who hopes to manage the shop someday. His free-flowing position as Matuschek's top advisor is threatened by the arrival of Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan), a new employee with experience who may be an even better salesperson than Kralik. Though the rivalry does not last long in that regard, the two are constantly at each other's throats. With such a toxic partnership, the thought of the two ever falling in love seems impossible.
However, what the two of them don't realize is that they had a connection before Novak arrived in the shop. We learn that Kralik responded to an ad from a woman asking for a pen pal, in order to discuss topics of "culture." He gets along with the anonymous individual splendidly through their letters, and the two hope to meet soon. The issue is that the pen pal is Novak, signalling that the two adversaries actually have much more in common than they think. When Kralik learns the truth about his pen pal, he faces a tough decision and a touching reexamination of his feelings for Novak.
Part of the reason this film works so well is that it does not concern itself solely with one aspect of the plot and the setting. The film begins in the summer months with a brief introduction of all the shop workers. In this quick exchange between them all, we can already gain a sense of their unique qualities. For example, Ilona (Inez Courtney) is interested in gossip, but works hard at her job. Vadas (Joseph Schildkraut) is a sleazy troublemaker who likes to twist the words of others to mean something else entirely. This helps in establishing an environment that will serve as the locale for most of the film. Though we are primarily focused on two or three characters, we have a collection of folks that bring a family aspect to the shop.
Of course, when you bring so many personalities and a compromising situation together, comedy is sure to ensue. The humor here works excellently, even after 80 years. Without the film trying too hard to create laughs, I found myself chuckling at a number of moments, such as when Felix Bressart's anxious shop worker Pirovitch darts away as soon as his boss asks the group for their honest opinions on a product. The persistent humor also helps to maintain a light-hearted atmosphere for the film, even amongst the mystery between Novak and Kralik.
But most of all, the film would not work without a strong connection between the two main characters, even while they constantly bicker with each other. Stewart and Sullavan were good friends and sometimes lovers, and that chemistry translates to the screen. No matter how you feel about them in the beginning, it's challenging to not hope for them to learn about the predicament they are unknowingly caught in. This is especially true in a wonderful scene between the two in a diner, just after Kralik has learned the truth about their pen pal association. While he tries to gather whether she could actually be romantically interested in him, she rebukes his attempts in a manner that is both humorous and upsetting. This is Sullavan at her best in the film, delivering a spirited character who will not back down to the man she often spars with.
Though this sequence is essential for the relationship between the two, the real standout scene of the film comes later on, after Kralik appears to decide that the relationship is worth pursuing. He visits a sick Novak in her room, where she is troubled by the fact that she has yet to meet her distant lover. During this scene, she reads a letter from said lover, which Kralik obviously wrote recently. As she reads the rich, intelligent prose of his letter, Kralik stares on with a hopeful but concerned look. It's a brilliant bit of work for Stewart, and the silent moment is a uniquely special shift from some of the outbursts we've seen as the highlight of some of his other notable performances. In his face, we can see a look of a man who is both confused and afraid. He's still not entirely sure if this relationship is worth pursuing, but most of all, he's terrified that Novak will refuse to give it a try. Additionally, when the hell should he reveal what he has learned about them?
Without spoiling how everything comes about, I will say that the relationship comes to a satisfying conclusion. It may be surprising that I've gotten this far without mentioning the role of the Christmas season in the film. But the truth is that this may be why it works so well. I'm a sucker for the holiday, but even I can tell when a film is doing too much to weave the Christmas themes into the plot. Here, Christmas is in the background, yet almost always present. Whether it's the joyous chaos of holiday shopping in the store, or a fuss over the window display, the season certainly plays a role in upholding the joyful tone of the film. It's also distinctly present through the changes we see in the character of Mr. Matuschek, played wonderfully by Frank Morgan, who takes on his own subplot involving his unfaithful wife.
There's quite a bit going on in this holiday feature, from workplace drama to nervous breakdowns. Not everything has aged well, particularly a few pieces of dialogue that come off as sexist today. Despite everything going on, the film holds together nicely because director Ernst Lubitsch displays an awareness of what serves as context to the central plotline. Though subplots have their time in the limelight, the relationship between Kralik and Novak is what we watch for. As a result, the film is a fascinating exploration of the complexity of people as unique individuals. Rarely has the "don't judge a book by its cover" sentiment been so strong, along with the idea of how easily we can miss out on wonderful opportunities if we're not paying attention. If you enjoy a nice holiday romance that is truly about something deeper (or if you enjoy the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan remake, You've Got Mail), this is one to add to your Christmas watchlist.

Beverly Nichols, the funniest British garden writer of his generation, is back in print! His passionate garden-making makes delightful reading! Hardback.
For a garden is a mistress, and gardening is a blend of all the arts, and if it is not the death of me, sooner or later, I shall be much surprised. A pleasant sort of death, I venture to suggest, which runs in the family. One of my grandfathers died of a clump if iris stylosa; it enticed him from a sick bed on an angry evening in January, luring him through the snow-drifts with is blue and silver flames; he died of double pneumonia a few days later. It was probably worth it.
Then there was a great-uncle who expired because of his passion for pears–not the fruit, but the blossom. He could not, quite rightly, have enough pear blossom; he wanted to hug it, bees and all, as a nice old gentleman should. So he took to climbing up into the branches, and sitting among the wild whtie spray of the flowers, for hours on end, with none but the bees for company. And one day a branch broke, and they found him out there in the orchard, lying on his back, staring up to the April sky, with an expression on his face of the greatest serenity.
I cannot forecast, with any accuracy, the probable nature of my own horticultural demise; at the moment, in view of the fact that the water garden is claiming most of my attention, it will probably take the form of drowning. Indeed, by the time these words are published, I may already have been discovered floating udner a clump of James Brydon nymphaeas, a variety of water-lily which is described in the catalogues as a deep old rose pink that sometimes seems flushed with crimson. That sounds a good description of the prose in which many of the passages in this book will doubtless be written. When I begin to write about flowers I lose all sense of restraint, and it is far, far too late to do anything about it.


NTL are upping the broadband band stakes by offereing 10mb as standard by the end of 2006. Also to be upgraded is the monthly usage limit from 30gb to 75gb.
Though this sounds nice the Register is also reporting that the cable company will change the payment structure to your usage rather than speed. Ouch! Personally would rather have lower speeds and a set charge than that!

Now armed with the mission of finding Mercury and his newfound confidence, John Constantine returns to London with a vengeance!

Story Arc
Hellblazer: The Fear Machine
An apathetic, somewhat amoral occultist, John Constantine always manages to come out on top through a combo of luck, trickery and genuine magical skill. In this seminal Vertigo series, uncover a horror story wrapped in a mystery starring a hero who's at his best and worst, all at the same time...
John Constantine: Hellblazer - City of Demons
When John Constantine is run over by a truck, it takes a little while for England's nicotine-fueled magus to realize that he's perched between life and death! A stand-alone five-issue limited series by Si Spencer ("Torchwood") and Sean Murphy (AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST).
Constantine: The Hellblazer (2015-2016)
The dark adventures of DC's foremost occult detective continue in an all-new series as he investigates the cruelest case he's ever come across-his own dark history!
Swamp Thing (1982-1996)
Before WATCHMEN, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book THE SWAMP THING. His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history.
The Hellblazer (2016-2018)
John Constantine's lost weekend in New York City was fun, but London's where his heart is—only a pissed-off demon and a curse on his soul stand in his way. Even Constantine's questionable ethics are pushed to the limit when he puts eight million souls on the line to get what he wants...


The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is often failing to allow people with mental health problems to give evidence in court, according to an inquiry by a committee of MPs.
The Commons justice committee said in its report that it was "concerned" to hear evidence that the CPS could be reluctant to recognise that people with mental health problems can be credible witnesses.
The committee also heard evidence that the CPS was failing to identify thousands of witnesses – including many with mental health conditions, learning difficulties or other impairments – who could benefit from "special measures", such as being allowed to give their evidence via a video link.
In January, the high court found the CPS breached a man's human rights when it decided he was not a credible witness because of his mental health history.
The CPS had abandoned a prosecution despite the man experiencing a vicious assault in which part of his ear was bitten off.
Paul Farmer, chief executive of the mental health charity Mind, said: "Dropping cases on these grounds shouldn't even be an option.
The committee's report on the role of the CPS was published just three days after the CPS published two new statements explaining how it will deal with potential court cases involving victims and witnesses with learning difficulties or mental health problems.
Keir Starmer, the director of public prosecutions and head of the CPS, said people with mental health problems or learning difficulties "must have the same opportunity as anyone else to give evidence and to have that evidence treated seriously".
The mental health statement says prosecutors should never assume that "someone is not credible or capable of giving reliable evidence just because they have a mental health issue".
And it says credibility should only be questioned in the same circumstances as any other witness, that is "when something specific is raised which calls into question the credibility or reliability of the witness".
Starmer said prosecutors should make decisions "free from any assumptions or stereotypes", and victims and witnesses should be given the right support to enable them to give their evidence.


Ongole Githa is an upcoming Telugu film written and directed by Bhaskar and produced by B.V.S.N. Prasad under Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra. The film features Ram Pothineni and Kriti Kharbanda in the lead roles. The soundtrack was be composed by G. V.

Q: How to use re.compile within a for loop to extract substring indices I have a list of data from which I need to extract the indices of some strings within that list:
str=['cat','monkey']

list=['a cat','a dog','a cow','a lot of monkeys']

I've been using re.compile to match (even partial match) individual elements of the str list to the list:
regex=re.compile(".*(monkey).*")
b=[m.group(0) for l in list for m in [regex.search(l)] if m]
>>> list.index(b[0])
3

However, when I try to iterate over the str list to find the indices of those elements, I obtain empty lists:
>>> for i in str:
...     regex=re.compile(".*(i).*")
...     b=[m.group(0) for l in list for m in [regex.search(l)] if m]
...     print(b)
...
[]
[]

I imagine that the problem is with regex=re.compile(".*(i).*"), but I don't know how to pass the ith element as a string.
Any suggestion is very welcome, thanks!!

A: It looks like you need to use string formatting.
for i in str:
    match_pattern = ".*({}).*".format(i)
    regex = re.compile(match_pattern)
    b = [m.group(0) for l in list for m in [regex.search(l)] if m]
    print(b)

Document Reference Ne 6 P
Title Catalogue of the maps and plans in the Newcastle (Clumber) Collection (6th Deposit); 1765-1968
Extent 1079 items
Content Description This series of maps and plans forms part of the 6th Deposit of the Newcastle (Clumber) Collection. It ranges in date from 1765-1968, but relates predominantly to the first half of the 20th century, there being very few earlier items.
The series consists of around 1079 items, which are arranged by type into hand drawn/manuscript maps and plans, Ordnance Survey maps, and surveys and terriers. They cover Newcastle estates across England, including those in the counties of Berkshire, Derbyshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Kent, Nottinghamshire, Surrey, Somerset, Wiltshire, and Yorkshire. Nottinghamshire is by far the most heavily represented county, whilst there is relatively little material covering Berkshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Kent, and Somerset.
On the whole, the earliest maps tend to be original or copied enclosure maps for various Nottinghamshire parishes, whilst the 20th century maps and plans mostly show relatively small areas of land, many of which had been parcelled up for sale purposes. In many cases these 20th century maps and plans chart the urban development of the towns or cities featured, most notably those covering the areas of Basford and Worksop in Nottinghamshire.
Also included within this series is the Newark Manor Survey of 1912, and around 26 terriers covering the counties of Nottinghamshire, Dorset, Surrey, and Wiltshire.

This boutique rocks
Tanya Tochner, owner of ROCKS Jewelry Gifts Home in Chappaqua.
Decorative goods at ROCKS Jewelry Gifts Home in Chappaqua.
For those who consider shopping their sport of choice, ROCKS Jewelry Gifts Home provides quite the sophisticated playing field. The elegant Chappaqua destination for fine and fashion jewelry – plus home goods and accessories – marks the second Westchester boutique for owner Tanya Tochner.
The elegant boutique is quickly becoming a source for fine and fashion jewelry since opening just before Mother's Day.
That's no surprise, considering the original ROCKS by Jolie B Ray continues to thrive along Main Street in Armonk. But the new boutique from owner Tanya Tochner offers much more than just the contemporary baubles ROCKS has come to be known for over the past eight years.
In this expansion of her business, Tochner finally found herself with the space to do what she's long wanted — move into the lifestyle segment.
And she has done that with quite an assured hand, offering a wealth of modern hostess gifts, decorative goods, art and accessories that has been captivating her growing clientele.
Everything within the spacious Chappaqua Crossing boutique, which more than triples the size of the 500-square-foot Armonk space, has a clear point of view — and that is Tochner's.
"People who assume I have great taste in jewelry assume I have great taste in home," she says with a laugh.
Indeed, Tochner is not only the owner but also a designer. She creates jewelry for the shops and accepts custom jewelry orders.
And, she adds, "Now it's the same thing on the home side… I've been going into people's homes and accessorizing."
It's all come naturally to her, as she says.
"I went to business school, not fashion school," adding that she worked for some 15 years in business, including human resources.
Being a stay-at-home mom once she relocated to Chappaqua was not for her.
"I had a need to go back and do something," she says.
And that has led to today, when she's working 80 hours a week — by choice.
"This, I'm passionate about. When I worked 80 hours a week at an office, I was resentful."
Tochner says the new shop finds her with a hand in every aspect, from ensuring the construction — a crazed 10-week effort — was to her specifications to all the buying, from social media to, yes, re-stocking the shelves.
"I always joke now I'm the stock boy. I do everything."
A GEM OF A SELECTION
The new ROCKS carries not only jewelry designs by Tochner but also creations by some 20 handpicked designers, each piece selected for its individual look. She might purchase several styles from one designer but does not stock, for example, dozens of a particular necklace.
"We try to pick unique pieces… especially for fine jewelry. People do not want to buy something expensive and see it on their friends."
(When it comes to home accessories, though, it's more about the look of a piece — and multiples are certainly a way to go. "With home, a platter is a platter," she says.)
The fashion jewelry, artfully displayed along one side of the boutique, ranges from around $25 to $200. The fine jewelry, displayed on the other side of the boutique, is housed in classic glass cases, starting with selections ideal for Sweet 16s or bat mitzvahs, popular categories and usually $150 to $500. The fine jewelry continues with an array of pieces, mostly modern but with a sampling of traditional. Prices vary with a standout an understatedly chic diamond necklace that's $15,000.
"I try to tell a story in every case," Tochner says, noting how one holds pieces featuring oxidized silver with diamonds and another, designs in gold and ebony.
She will work with customers to transform their own jewelry into something new, to design a piece from scratch or source something they want.
At the market every week, she tells her customers, "I can get it for them, and if I can't get it, I can make it."
Tochner takes that same thoughtful approach to her expanded offerings.
"It's been a nice transition into the home," Tochner says, noting she's been pleased to hear the store reflects her aesthetic.
"People who know me (say) 'It has Tanya written all over it.'"
It's all come together as hoped, she adds.
"We didn't want just the items that we sold be beautiful. We wanted the space to be beautiful."
The boutique is a welcoming space, with soothing gray tones, hardwood floors, modern built-ins and a large storefront bringing in light. It adds up to an understated backdrop for her design-forward offerings.
"I think it's a creative experience," she adds.
It all works together, though she declines to name any favorites.
"I love everything. That's why I picked it," she says with a laugh.
And she hopes customers will feel the same.
Some brands are well-known, such as Jonathan Adler's playful interior accents, while Tochner also works to cultivate singular finds.
"The goal was that you walk into the store (and say), 'I want that. I want that. I want that.'"
That is easy to do, with an array of vases and lidded jars, serving trays and wine decanters, agate coasters to what she calls "art pieces for your bar."
The wall art is also modern, some pieces thematic, others signs that impart a bit of wisdom ("Real girls are never perfect and perfect girls are never real.")
Everything comes back to Tochner.
"At the end of the day, I love design," she says. "I think that translates. There were things I knew I had to have in here… As a home store, I needed hostess gifts. I needed candles, art on the walls."
But it's much more, from pillows to totes, sculpture to throws, including some from It's A… Yummy, a Chappaqua-based company.
"I try to bring in local artists for both home and design," Tochner notes.
Though only open a few months, expansion is already planned.
"In the fall, we're going to carry what we don't have now — tabletop."
And that means annexing unused space, a move she thought would come later rather than sooner. She's also happy to be working with designers, offering them a trade discount for their projects.
OFF THE CLOCK?
These days, Tochner says, "I work seven days a week, even when I'm not in the store."
While she has an office in the Chappaqua store, she will often go home — she's been a Chappaqua resident some 18 years — and cook dinner for her family, complete her carpooling duties and then work a few hours from home.
Once autumn rolls around, she expects to settle into a more manageable routine — and get back to some of her favorite leisure pursuits.
"I was a big golfer up until this year," she says. "I used to go to the gym, too… I had to give up something (but) I knew it was short-term."
Then, she adds with a laugh, "I just can't have as many bacon cheeseburgers."
Something tells us the pace she's working at these days, Tochner can eat just about anything she'd like.

Лепиња, односно сомун, је врста танког округлог хлеба. Део је гастро-културе многих народа који живе дуж обала источног Медитерана и дубоко у копну, на Балканском полуострву.

У различити земљама овог дела света постоје варијације у прављењу лепиње, али и у имену за ове мале округле хлебове. Осим као лепиња (у Србији) и сомун (у Босни), познати су и као пиде (у Турској), пита (у Грчкој) или пита-хлеб (Pita bread – у већем делу енглеског говорног подручја; pita у америчком енглеском, или pitta у британском енглеском), манкуша (مناقيش – у Либану) или либански хлеб (широм света), шами (у Египту) и др...

Лепиње се праве од ускислог (дизаног) теста, као и већина хлебова. Међутим у самом процесу израде теста за лепињу специфично је то што тесто три пута нараста, па је структура овог пецива ваздушаста, лагана и идеална као основа за укусан оброк "за успут". Ефекат ваздушасте унутрашнјости лепиње може се појачати употребом адитива као што су прашак за пециво или сода-бикарбона, који тесту помажу да се више испуни ваздухом.

Етимологија
Реч лепиња потиче из мађарског језика (lepény – "палачинка"), а на просторе Балкана и Србије дошла је преко Војводине.

Реч сомун је турцизам грчког порекла и потиче из старогрчког језика (psōmón – "залогај"). На просторе Балкана је дошла преко Босне, где су је донели Турци током османских освајања.

Историја
На археолошком налазишту у југоисточном Јордану научници су пронашли угљенисане остатке танких, округлих хлебова (погача) за које је утврђено да су стари око 14.500 годна. Захваљујући овом открићу, археолози су дошли до закључка да се хлеб правио чак 4.000 година пре него што су номадска племена почела да формирају сталне насеобине и гаје житарице у култури. Овај хлеб правили су ловци-сакупљачи, из предела источног Медитерана. Био је вероватно бесквасни и помало сличан пита хлебу, направљен од дивљих житарица као што су јечам, спелта (дивља пшеница) и зоб, као и ризома папируса, млевених у брашно.
Пре овог, најстаријим открићем сматрао се хлеб стар 9.100 година, откривен на археолошком локалитету у Турској.

Балканска традиција

Сомун, односно лепињу су на просторе Балкана донели Турци, за време Османског освајања Балканског полуострва.

Лепиња у Србији
Осим своје свакодневне употребе хлеб у традиционалној култури балканских Словена има и ритуалну улогу, где се он више не опажа као предмет, већ као знак. При његовој употреби у магијске и духовне сврхе уведени су додатни захтеви који се односе на припрему хлеба. Они се тичу како избора особа које могу припремити хлеб, тако и избора брашна, начина мешења и печења хлеба, времена када се то обавља и простора где се све то може обавити. Хлеб као ритуални предмет саставни је део многобројних обреда у народној култури балканских Словена међу које спадају и Срби. Он је саставни део обреда везаних за рођење, за женидбу или удају, кућну и сеоску славу, годишње празнике, кризне ситуације, као и за посмртни култ.

И лепиње – хлепчићи, такође имају своје место у духовној традицији Српског народа. Тако је, на пример, у Дубовцу у Војводини постојао обичај да се на Светог Илију замеси погача од теста у које је додата крв закланог петла, освети се у цркви и чува у кући као лек од урока. У Левчу и Темнићу су жене којима су умирала деца месиле лепињу додајући јој крв из кресте црног петла без белеге, божићни квасац и вино. Када се лепињица осуши, носиле су је све до порођаја ушивену у појасу, заједно са сребрном паром и парчетом злата. У истом крају месиле су се и лепиње "кравајчићи", којима је у тесто додавана крв божићара (по правилу је то било прасе). Кравајчићи су се пекли у поноћ, чували током наредне године и давали се свињама у случају да оболе.

Ужичка комплет лепиња

Сматра се да је ужичка комплет лепиња настала пре Другог светског рата. Први је правио Драган Лазић, а име су јој највероватније смислили мајстори којима је била омиљени оброк током дана. Наиме, мајстори су слали шегрте да им купе лепиње са јајима, кајмаком и претопом (мочом), али им је било лакше да кажу да купе лепињу "са све", па јој је такво име и остало.

Рецепт
За овај специјалитет потребна је свеже печена лепиња, стари кајмак, јаје и претоп. Укус лепиње умногоме зависи од квалитета састојака. Према мишљењу многих, најважнији састојак у комплет лепињи је претоп (моца, моча или софт). Претоп се добија тако што се сакупи маст после печења јагњета и прасета, помеша се и остави да се охлади. Како се претоп хлади, у посуди се одваја маст нагоре, а надоле желатин који је тамномрке боје, веома слан и садржи одговарајући проценат воде. Ужичкаепиња је најукуснија када се пече у пећи на дрва, као што то раде мајстори за ово јело.

Лепиња се засече хоризонтално по ободу тако да се добије благо удубљење према средини, да буде отприлике облика посуде. Горњи део се одвоји - он ће касније послужити као поклопац. Доњи део лепиње се премаже кајмаком. Јаје се умути и прелије преко кајмака и све се стави у загрејану пећницу и пече око 10 минута (дужина печења зависи од тога да ли се прави "живља" или "решија" лепиња). Преостали део лепиње се стави у пећницу непосредно пред извлачење лепиње да се загреје. Након печења, лепиња се извади из пећнице и прелије загрејаним претопом.

Београдска лепиња са гулашом
Давне 1942. године, пекар Радомир Спасић основао је породичну пекару "Спаса" у самом срцу Скадарлије, боемске четврти Београда. Од тада се у овој пекари прави лепиња са гулашом. Ову гурманску посластицу одувек је пратио глас да је "студентска храна" због цене која је увек била приступачна.

Рецепт за гулаш је породична традиција која се преноси са генерацију на генерацију власника пекаре. Муштерије понекад питају за рецепт, који без икаквих проблема добијају од "Спасиних" мајстора. Једина тајна је у дугом кувању. Лук се динста сатима, а гулаш се кува три до четири сата, уз мешање на сваких пет до десет минута.

Пријепољка
У Пријепољу се сомун лепиња прави само у време Рамазана и зове се питаљка. Другачија је од обичног сомуна. Пече се пред ифтар, али и током целог дана, јер је купују и становници који нису муслиманске вероисповести.

Боснански сомун
Сомун у босанској традицији има важно место у рамазанском јеловнику, мада се у пекарама могу увек купити. Рамазански сомуни разликују се од оних који су у понуди током године по томе што се у њих додају семенке ћурекота (црног кима), за који се сматра да има многа благотворна својства. У исламском свету, ћурекот је високо цењена биљка. Арапи га називају Habbatul barakah (благословено семе), јер се верује да садржи лек за све болести осим смрти, и да доноси срећу и просперитет. Зато се за време Рамазана великодушно посипа по сомунима.

Било је покушаја печења сомуна у електричним или пећима на гас, али пракса је показала да су сомуни најбољи када се пеку у старим пећима на дрва. Припрема сомуна траје много дуже него само печење, јер се пеку на изузетно високим температурама, око 500 °C, па је довољно 45 секунди до 2 минута да се испеку. Није познато зашто, али је у босанским пекарама сомуне углавном месе мушкарци.

Како је сомун стигао у Босну
Постоји више верзија приче како је сомун стигао у Сарајево, па и у Босну. Једна од њих сомун везује за долазак Гази Хусрев-бега у Сарајево, и изградњу хана за путнике и народне кухиње. Гази Хусрев-бегов интендант турског порекла, који се презивао Сомун, добио је задужење да за потребе кухиње направи посебно пециво које ће бити укусно, једноставно и лако за прављење, па је он то и учинио. Интендант који је направио први сомун осмислио је и занимљиву шару на пециву, која подсећа на дрвене решетке на прозорима женских просторија у муслиманским кућама.

Рецепт за сомун
Тесто за сомун, исто је као за лепињу и прави се од брашна, воде, квасца и соли. Једино се код мешења води рачуна да тесто буде нешто ређе. Даље је поступак исти као и за лепиње. Јуфке од теста се пре печења развуку у колико-толико правилан круг, након чега се на горњој површини направи шара решетке. Сомуни се потом убацују у пећ на дрва и пеку се свега минут-два, због чега им је боја светла.

Brazen Thieves Steal Shark From San Antonio Aquarium, Carry It Away in Baby Stroller
News 6:33 AM PDT, July 31, 2018 - MAYA CHUNG
6:33 AM PDT, July 31, 2018 - MAYA CHUNG
A "sharknapping" has been solved!
A gray horn shark, named Miss Helen, was stolen from the San Antonio Aquarium over the weekend, but the fish was later returned and an unidentified man was arrested.
Surveillance video captured the suspect walking away with the female shark wrapped in a blanket. The man then allegedly pushed the animal, which is less than a-year-old, out of the aquarium in a stroller on Saturday after taking it from its tank.
He reportedly told police that he'd previously had a horn shark himself, but it died.
"More than likely it was something that he wanted," Leon Valley Police Chief Joseph Salvaggio said of the man at a press conference on Monday.
Thankfully, the Miss Helen is in good condition, but will remain under observation for a few days.
Tips led police to the home of the suspect after authorities publicly released a video of the theft and said they were looking for two men and a woman.
"Initially they were going to show us an old receipt for this type of shark, but it was obviously doctored and the jig was up," Salvaggio said.
When police found the shark in the man's house, Salvaggio said they were surprised to find an entire aquarium full of marine animals.
"[He] very much knew what he was doing and kept that animal alive, and was able to continue seeing that animal thrive, which was pretty shocking," Salvaggio added.
The 38-year-old man faces a charge of theft between $750 and $2,500, police said. Police expect to charge two others in connection with the theft.
Federal charges may also be brought because transporting the shark requires a permit.
"We have a lot to do, but we're happy tonight to get the shark back home," Salvaggio said.

The Kirkstall Training Ground, historically known as Clarence Fields, is a training facility in Leeds owned by Leeds Rhinos. The training facility is mostly used by Leeds Rhinos and is also used by Leeds Tykes (having originally been the home of their predecessors Headingley RUFC), National Conference League side Milford Marlins and  Leeds City College Rugby League team. It was used by Bramley RLFC as their home ground in 1995-96 following the sale of McLaren Field.

The ground and the lower floors of the buildings on site suffered significant damage in the Boxing Day Floods of 2015. Whilst the ground was repaired and cleaned, the rugby teams used other venues around the city. Leeds Rhinos manager, Gary Hetherington, suggested that the eventual clean up cost would be £6 million and it would not be until June 2016 at the earliest before the training centre could be used again.

France on Wednesday admitted that it is the owner of American-made anti-tank missiles found at a rebel military base in Libya, raising awkward questions about European involvement in the civil war.
France's Army Ministry said the four Javelin missiles discovered at a base used by General Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army were intended for "self-protection of a French military unit deployed to carry out intelligence and counter-terrorism operations."
"Damaged and unusable, the armaments were being temporarily stocked at a depot ahead of their destruction," it said in a statement on Wednesday.
It said the weapons, found in the mountains south of Tripoli by forces loyal to the UN-backed government, were never intended for sale or transfer to any party to Libya's conflict. source

White History Month…
I forgot it was February 1st today until I logged-on to Twitter and saw "Happy Black History Month" trending. I clicked on the trending topic to see what people were saying, and, inevitably, there were already tweets from white people—mostly young, mostly male—asking why there is no white history month. Do we really have to have this conversation every year? I ask that more in rhetorical angst than anything else, knowing very well that we, indeed, must have this conversation, every year, every day, every moment, as long as it needs to happen. But still.
I guess at this point in my life, I am not surprised by the blinding affects white privilege has on certain people, as I am very regularly confronted with this phenomenon. I get it, someone—especially and specifically a young white male—living in, and benefitting from, a society with institutionalized systems of domination (race, gender, sexuality, nationalist imperialism) might find it difficult to hear any other realities outside the privileged microcosm in which they live. However, what I do find frustrating amongst certain groups of white folks is their lack of acknowledgment—or even awareness—that these power structures have been, and still are, the controlling systems that dictate so many aspects of how we live in America.
Why don't we have a white history month? Well, as Tim Wise effectively put it in his lecture Pathology of White Privilege, "We don't have white history month because we have several. They go by the names of May, June, July, August, September; pretty much any month that we have not designated as someone else's month, that's white history month. But we take it for granted, because we don't have to know other folks' reality. That's a privilege."
Many white males—and white people in general—"don't understand" this concept because nothing in their lives has ever caused them to have to understand it. They live blissfully unaware of what it might be like to live as a member of a group that is completely disenfranchised by the institutionalized systems of domination that they have been conveniently a part of since birth, yet they often adamantly, and pompously, attempt to invalidate the narratives of individuals from those disenfranchised groups when those individuals speak about injustices they face. These particular white folks are unmindful to the fact that, when white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchy is the "norm," it would be absurd to have designated days or months or events celebrating it, because every day is in fact a celebration of these dominant cultures. As one Twitter user put it, in response to a young white male asking why there is no white history month, "For the same reason there's no Straight Pride parades or Not Having Breast Cancer Awareness Week."
One day at work last year, I walked into the classroom of a colleague who teaches U.S. History. I noticed that she had done some new classroom decorating, having put up a massive collage of pictures on the long, thin bulletin board that runs along the top of the whiteboard and across the entire front wall of the room. I was immediately taken aback by the sight. What struck me was the glaringly obvious, and overwhelming, presence of white males, with maybe a mere one or two white females, and a single solitary picture of Martin Luther King Jr., and no indigenous people that I noticed.
I could not hold back my shock, "Whoa! What is that?!"
My colleague, "American history."
I chuckled, "No it's not! I mean, it's a small piece of American history—American history through the lens of the imperialist white male."
She agreed, and retorted, "It's American history according to the New York State Regents. This is what they have to learn to pass the test."
Having just this week proctored the U.S. History Regents, also having read every single word of it because I facilitated the special education "read aloud" accommodation, I am very aware of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal bias in the New York state standardized test. To be fair, I also know that New York schools are not the only ones where these circumstances exist, and it is through this particularly prejudiced lens that most American children in a vast majority of public schools learn about "American history." This reality is even more striking and tragic in schools like the one where I teach, where the vast majority of the student population—above 90%—is black.
In this "American history," fore fathers like George Washington are taught as heroes, yet the fact that President Washington inherited his first ten slaves at the age of twelve and had three-hundred slaves living and working on his property—one-hundred of them being his own personal slaves—at the time of his death, is rarely to never spoken about; racism deniers would probably argue that "he treated his slaves well." Whilst at the very same time, in many American schools, American heroes like Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Angela Davis are taught through a filter of predisposition that they were villainous, or evil, or "violent;" Martin Luther King Jr. is safer and more acceptable to teach because he preached and acted in nonviolence in his opposition to a racist, government-instituted system that was directly hostile and violent towards him. Oh, however, it is perfectly alright to celebrate, and revel in, General George Washington's violence during the American Revolutionary War. "American History."
It is true that no telling of history is told without bias. Be that as it may, we have also been told, by Winston Churchill, that "history is written by the victors." So, in a land where the Declaration of Independence was written by wealthy white men, during a time when it was perfectly and lawfully acceptable to own African human beings, and deny the rights of women, indigenous people, and people with disabilities, it is important that we continue to question the mirage they posed as "reality" when they wrote, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I understand at this point that the majority of people still reading and entertaining this post are the choir, and I am preaching. Nonetheless, if there are any Caucasians still reading who find my words difficult to swallow, ridiculous, angering, or even downright absurd, I would ask of you, please don't become an inadvertent satirical statistic and continue to ask why "there's no white history month." Take a moment to research and think outside of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal paradigm we find ourselves in. Understand that the very definition in the truest etymological sense of the word dominance is "to have power and influence over others," and acknowledge how these institutionalized systems of domination have affected all of our thinking and being.
Read some James Baldwin.
Happy Black History Month.

Ancient Hula Hawaiian Style
Nearly a dozen vintage recordings of mele (songs or chants) for ancient hula have been resurrected, remastered and compiled on a new album, Ancient Hula Hawaiian Style, Volume 1: Hula Kuahu.

It had a long journey," says Dr. Amy Kuuleialoha Stillman, the producer of Ancient Hula Hawaiian Style, Volume 1: Hula Kuahu, a labor of love that took nearly 12 years to come to fruition. Stillman, an authority on Hawaiian music historiography, worked on the album and wrote the liner notes in her spare time, while teaching American studies, ethnomusicology and hula at the University of Michigan. She also co-produced and co-wrote the Grammy Award-winning album, Ikena, and its Grammy-nominated follow-up, He Nani, both of which were performed by singer Tia Carrere and singer/songwriter and co-producer Daniel Ho. This fall, she returns to Hawaii to assume the role of Dai Ho Chun Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she'll teach an undergraduate course on Hawaiian music and a graduate-level research seminar focused entirely on Hawaiian music historiography—the first time in the university's history that it has offered a graduate-level seminar on the subject.
Ancient Hula Hawaiian Style began to take shape in the early 1990s, when Stillman was corresponding with Michael Cord, owner of Cord International/Hana Ola Records. "I said it would be great to have an edition devoted to the chant material," says Stillman. "[Cord] immediately wrote back and said, 'Give me a call, let's talk.' It was very much on his radar. He simply needed someone who knew the tracks and the performers."

For 30-plus years, Hana Ola Records has been in the business of producing out-of-print, Territorial-era Hawaiian music recordings. The company's catalog includes approximately 152 albums of everything from classic Hawaiian slack key guitar to Japanese Big Band albums recorded after World War II. And yet the company had never produced an album of historic chants. "[Hana Ola has] so much hapa-haole material," says Cord. "I never realized that we had amazing traditional material until Amy brought it to life."
Many of these chants were sitting, perfectly preserved, in Cord's record room, a temperature-controlled, vintage-Hawaiian-music time capsule of sorts that contains about 5,000 records. "Despite the extensive catalog [Cord] has and all the things we've done over the last 25 years, the material on this album is something we couldn't address," says Harry B. Soria Jr., one of Cord's frequent collaborators and producers and the host of the 31-year-old Territorial Airwaves syndicated radio show. "First of all, I'm not qualified to do hula and chant. Second, we had always wondered about the marketability. Twenty years ago, we may not have considered doing this [album]. But with a generation of formal education in the Hawaiian language, this [type of project] became more of a realization, as traditional Hawaiian recordings are more and more sought after."
Stillman began by sifting through recordings from 49th State Records (Cord licensed the rights to 49th State's catalog in 1991), a recording company that opened up shop prior to statehood and produced hundreds of 78 rpm records during its heyday. Stillman identified the tracks she knew to be chants, and then expanded her search to include tracks from the historic Hawaiian Transcription, Bell and Waikiki record companies. "I just happened to have the licensing rights for some of the material, and the rest I got from other labels," says Cord. In the end, Stillman had enough material to fill two albums—the current volume, Hula Kuahu, and a second, Hula Olapa, which is slated for release in about a year.

Dating back to the early 1800s and recorded between 1930 and 1960, the mele featured in this first volume are known as hula kuahu, or altar hula. "This term, hula kuahu, refers to those hula that were transmitted in the presence of a kuahu (altar), during that era when the kuahu altar rituals were observed," says Stillman. The mele on the album are divided into four sections: The first group, hula pahu, is one of the oldest, most sacred forms of hula, and is performed with the sharkskin-covered pahu drum. The second, hula alaapapa, is accompanied by the ipu (bottle gourd). "The earlier hula alaapapa and hula pahu consisted of repertoire created under the indigenous (pre-Christian) system surrounded by ritual kapu," says Stillman. "The later 19th-century hula olapa came into being after the acceptance of Christianity, so the hula olapa was not sacred, from the time of the kuahu, in the same way that hula alaapapa and hula pahu were."
The third section, mele honoring Pele, is the album's only deviation from the strict definition of hula kuahu. These Kalakaua-era mele follow the standard, two-line-stanza structure of hula olapa.

Ideas and Content-- The people who make up the office. Say the principal and the counselor.
Organization-- How the computers are arranged. The computers would be seperated by xp or 98 version.
Sentence Fluency-- Different sizes of paperwork. Difficult work would be a larger sentence in a script.
Conventions-- An unclaimed paycheck. It wouldn't show but it is still there.
Word Choice-- The Boss of the office. He chooses which workers are good enough for his office.
Voice-- How strong the paper expresses. Kinda how if a paper is written stongly about a certain topic.
Well how did you like them? I think metaphors are a great way to show The Six Traits of Writing! Catch U later!!!!!
Hmmmm. I might just add all the other people in the office to the ideas and content part because it takes a team to make it work at its best. Just think of all the good ideas that might be missed if you only included the principal and the counselor. What do you think?
On another note, I wish I could have seen you as a cowhand. I know you did a fantastic job. I'm glad you are thinking of continuing to be involved with drama.
Your writing continues to be delightful! I love reading each and every post!
That's a very clever way to help remember! I always tell my students that I tend to remember pictures better than words. I could "see" the office as you described it. A great image and "mnemonic" (memory trick to help you remember something)!
How does the boss hire and fire? I want to know!
Could you be more clear about the way Voice works and how it is linked to the others?
Could you help me. To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.

If you're already a fan of Dr Who, then I understand the excitement you're feeling eagerly awaiting the announcement of Doctor Who streaming live on the internet. There is no doubt this: Doctor Who has already gained enormous popularity among its viewers since 1963. now, the trailer for Doctor Who season 13 has those who love the show enthralled to watch the entire Dr who series in no time.
The fans have already let out a sigh of relief after confirming the release of Doctor Who seasons 13 made by the show's creator Chris Chibnall. However, it's very heartbreaking for Chibnall fans to know that Chibnall will be leaving the Dr. Who show but not until after season 13.
For those who are unable to contain their excitement about the show, and are eager to see when Doctor Who is streaming on television, read this article to find out a few hint about the 13th season.
Doctor Who – Season 13: Are we going to see an old character come back?
The people who have seen the trailer of Doctor Who season 13 are already making assumptions about various things. Indeed, the previous season of Doctor Who has been impressive and the new season would take your breathing. It is best to get ready to witness one of the most amazing television shows, Dr Who, that will begin airing in the first week of December as according to the announcement. Additionally, there have been numerous rumors about three specials in 2022 of the show following Doctor who streams with no announcement regarding the fourteenth season.
As we've witnessed, every Doctor except for Christopher Eccleston of the modern era has stuck on three seasons of Doctor Who. This is why the tradition is honored by Jodie Whittaker in the upcoming season. As per the reports, she revealed that she'd be returning in a new series of Dr. Who, which probably implies that you'll be watching her in the upcoming Doctor Who seasons 13. Certain, this is an exclusive piece of information that I can't resist holding when discussing the new season.
Some speculations suggest that this season of Doctor could be the final episode for Whittaker as a Doctor. Indeed, it's disappointing news for Whittaker fans. Fortunately, you could get the new season of Doctor that will be streaming on the internet by December. It's now clear that the rumors of Whittaker are true, as Jodie will be leaving Dr Who for good. It's a fact that you won't be seeing Jodie following Doctor Who season 13, as it is true that she'd leave the TARDIS.
What's new in the coming season Doctor Who?
It was previously mentioned that the two departures were already planned all along, as revealed by Chibnall. He also said that he wouldn't think of having a different Doctor to create this Doctor Who shows other than Jodie because she's the most inspiring doctor. Jodie Whittaker as well as Chibnall's two loved people would likely quit Doctor Who after the upcoming season. Additionally, there's a piece of information about the return of Russell T Davies storming the internet in anticipation of Doctor Who season 13.
You'll find Jacob Anderson as a character known as Vinder in the new season of Dr Who; earlier, Jacob Anderson appeared in Game of Thrones as Grey Worm. This is indeed a piece of wonderful news and the majority of viewers are thrilled to know that Doctor Who is streaming in the middle of December this year. Within the Doctor Who television series Vinter plays a crucial role in bringing together the Doctor and her companion , while fighting against evil.
Doctor Who season 13 Release date, plot, cast
It is the truth it is true that Doctor Who will be streaming shortly on TV, however, currently, Chris is at work on writing and producing the thirteenth season. We should note that there are six episodes to be aired in this particular Season of Dr Who, which seems to be quite intriguing. The exact date of releasing the most eagerly anticipated Doctor Who seasons 13 will be announced soon. The season will have an attractive official title called Doctor Who: Flux; it's a little mysterious. We've already be aware of Doctor Who Streaming this December with six flux episodes but it is important to know that they'll be following the three episodes that are special.
The final Jodie Jodie feature would air in special episodes. there'd be a thrilling story of regeneration and replacing the 13th Doctor for the forthcoming Doctor Who season. Reports state that earlier, there were eleven episodes total on Doctor season 13, which was was cut in eight episodes due to various restrictions upheld because of the pandemic. However, the total amount of episodes on the current season of Dr Who would take the final run into nine shows. It's amazing that we could reveal a surprise or fresh teaser to you regarding the season's focus.
Once Doctor Who gets streaming on TV, you'd get to talk about your fascination with the show, but that you'll continue to think of things after watching the teaser. There are many clues in the teaser that many fans can make out about an older episode. Soon, Doctor Who would be streaming on Television however, now we've got the most exciting official poster of season 13 which reveals it to be Doctor's biggest adventure. Due to the pandemic the show took a lot of time before releasing its latest season, but it's worth the wait.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this article till the end , as an avid Doctor Who fan. You don't need to wait long for the next season of Doctor Who season 13 as it will be released by the end of this year. We have actually discussed some important and interesting points regarding Dr Who throughout this post.

As the son of company co-founder Gil Segerdahl, Earl learned printing from the ground up beginning with the business' earliest days. In the early 1970s, he continued the family legacy by becoming President and CEO. Then, not long after the Board's formation in the early '80s, he was named Chairman of the Board.
Earl was a passionate owner/operator whose sharp business acumen and ability to visualize the future helped him put what was a very successful regional printer on the road to becoming what it is today: a national industry leader in direct marketing communications.
Long-time SG360° employee Steve Buechel and Rick Joutras—who succeeded Segerdahl as CEO in 2003—recall an employer who took delight in interacting with his work force. Because he was a NASCAR investor, "Earl would always give free passes when there were car races in the area," said Buechel. "And he loved friendly wagers with the pressmen on football games."
"Earl was a hell of a fighter," recalled Joutras. "He never hesitated to reinvest in the company and was willing to sacrifice personal gain to build the business for the future."
It was that attitude that guided Earl, starting in 1991, to acquire eight new web presses which led directly to the business doubling its revenue. With that, Earl's vision of Segerdahl becoming the "best and most innovative direct mail printer in the country," as Joutras recalls, was officially launched.
Current President and CEO, John Wallace, reflected on Earl's legacy:
"Earl's passing gives all of us at SG360° the opportunity to take stock of the DNA of our business – understanding where we have come from as a company provides the necessary context to inform how we best move forward. I can clearly see Earl's fingerprints, sustained and improved upon by Rick Joutras, in the SG360° of today. The competitive drive, resilience, and connection with people constitute the 'secret sauce' of our company, which has enabled us not only to survive but also to thrive in the current challenging business environment. I'm grateful for the foundation that Earl built."
Buechel remembers Earl's connection to the company and its employees never wavered, even after the ESOP purchase of the business in 2003. "He would often reach out to a lot of us to see how the company was doing, and at the end of every phone call he would always tell us to keep the place going because it was the company his father started."
