Engaging the Audience
The Competitor's Edge
A cappella is a competitive medium. While there are plenty of groups that participate as an art form, this style of music has enjoyed growth primarily through competition—scholastic competitions like ICCA and ICHSA, The Sing-Off, and even Pitch Perfect as a film about competitive a cappella. With more and more groups entering competitions groups need to be increasingly conscious of how they present themselves in competition. While being a great musician is still the cornerstone of success, groups that don't consciously think about the elements of their competition set tend not to meet their potential. In The Competitor's Edge, we break down the key components of successful competitors in a cappella.
In this edition, the focus is engaging the audience.
Bring the noise, bring the funk.
A too-oft-ignored reality of live a cappella performance—the audience wants to be engaged. Sure, most audience have their outspoken sources of snark, but in their heart of hearts the vast majority of people come out to shows because they want to be entertained.
Groups that thrive in competition capitalize on that desire. They take the stage with palpable energy, intensity, or verity. They take the audience for a ride. A competition is the absolute worst venue for any group to "phone in" a performance. Groups should leave everything they have on the stage to leave no doubt they made the best effort possible to engage the crowd.
Perform for them, not you.
Competitions have different target demographics. The ICCAs feature college kids, and while there's a diverse body of judges, in my informal observation, the judges generally seem to reward performances that seem true to the group—youthful, edgy, innovative. Meanwhile, for Harmony Sweepstakes, the demographics tend to skew a bit more mature, and there's a history of barbershop groups succeeding in the setting, meaning it's not necessarily the optimal audience for a group to attack with wacky new vocal stylings.
Successful groups know their audience and perform to please their sensibilities. Moreover, they put the audience first. Groups naturally develop inside jokes, but great competitors recognize that those jokes are best left internal—in the rehearsal room, not on the performance stage when they run the risk of confusing or even alienating the crowd.
Interacting with the audience.
One of the purest approaches to engaging an audience is to get them actively participating in the performance. For example, when a group achieves something epic along the lines of a barn-burning closing number, it can be a huge advantage to lead the crowd in a clap-along to get them feeling the music and feeling like a part of the story. (On the flip side, going for a clap-along on the opening number or more than once in a set runs the risk of coming across as presumptuous, pandering, or just plain annoying).
Another way of interacting is to break the fourth wall. Mind you, not every performance space lends itself to it, but if a group can take advantage of the space available and work its way into the crowd (or start in the crowd and work their way onto the stage) it can surprise the audience, stand out, and bolster audience attachment to your act based on pure proximity.
How have you seen groups engage audiences in competition? Let us know in the comments.

Puig de Missa de Santa Eulària
In the so-called quartó de Xarc during the Arab period (already since 1303 we find references under the name of Santa Eulària), around a well-populated area with water wells, there is a mountain topped today with a church dedicated to this saint from Barcelona, Santa Eulària. The Puig de Missa of Santa Eulària was declared National Scenic Site by decree on August 4, 1952. It was later classified as a Place of Cultural Interest under the category of historical place, both for the church with its defense tower and for the mount-church ensemble. Although there are records of an old chapel, the current church was opened in 1568 as a vicarage dependent from Santa María parish. The porches and side chapels date back from the 17th century. At first, in addition to the high altar, the church had four altars dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary, the Virgin of Mount Carmel, Saint Anthony the Abbot, and the Saint Physicians Cosmas and Damian. In 1760, three chapels or altars dedicated to the Virgin of Bethlehem and the Holy Trinity are found. The two chapels closest to the chancel are deep and stick out from the master walls. The via crucis, from side to side of the nave, is paved with artistic tiles from Valencia. In 1785, the first bishop of Ibiza, Manuel Abad y Lasierra, transformed the church of Santa Eulària into a parish. The Baroque altarpiece that presides the high altar is from sculptor José Ferreres, made between 1674 and 1678, and it was brought from San Millán (Segovia) in 1967, upon the initiative of Marquis of Lozoya, owner of a rural house within the very Puig de Missa, since he knew that the old altarpiece from the 17th century had been destroyed in 1936. The altarpiece has one body with a single panel, attic, and bench or predella, all of it of golden polychromatic wood. The body has four Solomonic columns, and in the center, there is a niche that holds a polychromatic wooden carved image representing Santa Eulària, made approximately in 1940 by Valencian carvers Carlos Román and Vicente Salvador. Over the cornice, in the attic, there is a cloth that represents Saint Rose of Lima, made in Cuzco school in the 18th century. It comes from El Convent de Dalt Vila church. Ibiza and Formentera's Insular Ministry of Heritage restored this altarpiece and its tabernacle where the Host is exhibited. It used to be where the priest's seat was, which is currently found within the side chapel of the Holy Sacrament. Opposite to the church, we come across the Barrau House-Museum, where we will be able to enjoy a marvelous collection of more than a hundred pieces of art made with different techniques (oil, watercolor, etching, and drawing) that Berta Ballori, the painter's widow, wanted to donate to the Ibizan diocese. Catalan painter Laureà Barrau (Barcelona, 1863 - Santa Eulària des Riu, 1957), moved around several places: Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Paris. Finally, he settled in Caldes d'Estrac town, which qualified under the criteria he was looking for regarding light capturing. This was the reason that later on made him settle in Ibiza, around 1930, specifically in the house that holds his work today. Here, he felt quite enthusiastic and he left paintings that stand out for their color, composition, and expression of the human figures. Barraus paintings capture the light, landscape, streets, markets, and the people from Ibiza – this is why he was branded as an Ibizan painter. In Puig de Missa we can also find Can Ross, the peasant house that holds Ibiza's Ethnographic Museum, with an important museographic collection of objects of the traditional Pityusic rural environment: clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, household tools, agriculture tools, fittings, pottery… All of it is set within a framework of a house that is a good example of the traditional Pityusic architecture.

Q: Erro ao tentar conectar banco de dados Mysql ao eclipse utilizando JDBC Eu já tentei algumas soluções, já reinstalei o Mysql e o Workbench, mas parece não aceitar a minha senha. Simplesmente continua dando o mesmo erro. Obs.: eu não alterei o nome do usuário no banco, deixei como padrão. Isto está acontecendo depois de eu tentar executar essa classe:
public class Conexao {
         public static final String SERVIDOR = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/bdJava";
         public static final String USUARIO = "root";
         public static final String SENHA = "123456";

         public Connection getConexao() {
             try {
                 return DriverManager.getConnection(SERVIDOR, USUARIO, SENHA);

           }catch (Exception e) {
                 throw new RuntimeException(e);
             }
      } }

Erro apresentado no console:

Exceção no thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Acesso negado para o

java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (fonte desconhecida) em

ao tentar trocar a senha da conexão do banco o erro persiste. há um erro peculiar que me chamou a atenção, erro: Exceção no thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Acesso negado para o usuário '' @ 'localhost' (usando senha: NÃO), aparece que o usuário está vazio, porém o usuário do meu banco está o padrão, que seria 'root'.

A: Vamos criar uma conexão utilizando o Mysql, a primeira coisa que precisa verificar é se seu banco está ativo, como está utilizando o mysql você pode utilizar um software ou mesmo o terminal de seu computador para fazer isso, um software bem conhecido é o https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/ antes de sair codificando é imprescindível verificar esse ponto.
Agora que já verificou que seu banco de dados está funcionando perfeitamente e você sabe qual é a porta que ele está utilizando (Ps. geralmente Mysql é a 3306) tenha certeza que você vai precisar de um driver de conexão e nesse caso o do próprio Mysql, esses drivers nada mais são do que bibliotecas que poderão ser utilizadas no projeto, você precisa saber como seu projeto irá armazenar essas libs, caso ele esteja utilizando https://maven.apache.org/ você precisa adicionar ela ao seu pom.xml, perceba que você precisa saber qual é a versão de seu banco de dados para ter a compatibilidade e funcionar, nesse link https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java tem as versões para baixar, caso o projeto seja um projeto comum no eclipse basta baixar o jar e adicionar a dependência ao projeto, clicando com botão direito em cima do projeto indo até o sub menu build path e adicionando um jar externo, o mesmo arquivo que foi baixado.

Após esses passos é preciso começar a pensar na forma de implementarmos a conexão:
 public class Conexao {
         public static final String SERVIDOR =
         "jdbc:mysql://localhost/bdJava";
         public static final String USUARIO = "root";
         public static final String SENHA = "123456";

         public Connection getConexao() {
             try {
                 return DriverManager.getConnection(SERVIDOR, USUARIO, SENHA);

           }catch (Exception e) {
                 throw new RuntimeException(e);
             }
      } }

nesse ponto ficou faltando a porta:
   "jdbc:mysql://localhost/bdJava";

um exemplo de conexão poderia ser:
private Conexao() {
    try {
        String driverName = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver";

        Class.forName(driverName).newInstance();
        String serverName = "127.0.0.1:3306";
        String mydatabase = "bdJava";
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + serverName + "/" + mydatabase + "?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";
        String username = "root";
        String password = "123456";

        this.connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
    } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Conexao.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Conexao.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        System.out.println("Nao foi possivel encontrar o driver: " + e.toString());
    } catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
        System.out.println("Nao foi possivel conectar ao banco de dados: " + e.toString());
    }
}

Outro assunto que precisa observar é quanto a conexão de dados remotos no mysql 8, nesse link tem uma descrição em inglês de como resolver.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12844804/2829667
Ps. Uma conexão utilizando JDBC sem nenhuma implementação de JPA não é mais comun em novos projetos hoje em dia, no link a baixo há um projeto que consta uma classe de conexão onde há alguns comportamentos que uma classe conexão utilizando JDBC pode ter.

'Almost Famous' co-star: Hoffman's 'darkness' made him compelling
By Patrick Fugit

Live in the NYC home where Philip Seymour Hoffman died — for less

Hipster junkie tied to Philip Seymour Hoffman's death jailed
I didn't know what a big deal it was to work with Philip Seymour Hoffman. I was 16. I was as green as green can be. He was very intimidating. He was really very intimidating.
Nobody in the production had been so into their character that they didn't seem like themselves. Billy Crudup was warm and welcoming. They said, "Philip is going to stay in and around his character. He's not going to be chatty and super friendly." The character Lester is very brash and vocal.
Philip was very forward with me, in a school-of-hard-knocks way. It was almost like when you go on a hike with your dad, and your dad just hikes the mountain and expects you to keep up. That's the way Philip did the scenes. It was like he was saying, ''All right, kid, you're here, you're playing the lead in [director] Cameron's [Crowe] movie."
There was a certain weight that came with him. There was sort of a darkness. That's part of what made his acting so compelling and complete.
I just remember the way he talked about acting and filmmaking: It was as cynical and cavalier as it gets on set. He and director Cameron Crowe were talking about the death of filmmaking the same way that Les, Seymour's character, is talking about the death of rock 'n' roll in the scene. I remember thinking, "Holy s- -t, I don't know anything yet.''
Hoffman played Lester Bangs in the film.Columbia Pictures/Zumapress.com
He had the flu the first day we were shooting, but he was just hammering away. I remember watching him in the scene in which Lester is doing the Iggy Pop dance. I was watching Philip work, and it occurred to me: This was the sort of caliber of acting that I was going to need to do from that point forward. There was something about watching Philip that opened my eyes to the potential for creating.
You learn a lot of tricks and a lot of sort of quirks to get you through a scene. You sort of rely on your natural affectations, but Philip was playing something that was real. I thought, "That is what an actor is, that's what I need to start doing." From that moment, he became sort of an idol, a role model. I never dared to keep in touch with him. I didn't feel like I deserved to keep in touch with him.
I always sort of dreamed and hoped that we would get a chance to do that again. It's a funny little world.
We were shooting a scene inside a diner, it was a hard day, I was very burned and it was a very complicated, technical scene, because of the lighting. I had to say things and convey emotion. They were things you would do naturally as an actor, but it was new for me, and I was freaking out.
Patrick Fugit and Kate Hudson in "Almost Famous."Dreamworks
Philip was making me nervous. I remember at one point, the script supervisor came up and said, "You have to write this word and then look up," and I had a bit of a freak-out moment. And I looked up and Philip was just watching me. I didn't know what to do, I was scared of him. And this small smile crept up — it was a twinkle in his eyes. It was like he was seeing the beginning of something, like the beginning of my career.
He smiled and nodded to reassure me that I was doing a good job. And then he looked down into his lap. I calmed down, but was a little confused, "Does he like what I'm doing?" A lot of what I remember about him was that little quick moment there, like he was looking back to that time when he was in the beginning of his career, the overwhelming nature of it all.
It was pretty cool.

Big things are afoot in our sister SAR as Club Cubic prepares to celebrate its sixth anniversary this Saturday by bringing in Dutch DJ legend Hardwell. And not just for one night either but for an entire China residency.
First gaining popularity in 2009 for his bootleg Show Me Love vs Be, Hardwell subsequently spent the first half of this decade playing at major festivals like Tomorrowland and Road to Ultra, most recently completing his I Am Hardwell – United We Are tour in 2016 to promote his first studio album, United We Are.
You had a monster year in 2016, with tons of EDM festivals and sets under your belt. Which was most memorable?
2016 was such a big year for me and I played some incredible shows, but the one show that immediately springs to mind when I think of 2016 is the closing night of my I Am Hardwell – United We Are world tour. It was at the world famous Hockenheim racing circuit and it was this magical occasion that brought to a close one of the biggest and most important projects in my life so far. I loved that final show and the crowd were absolutely amazing! To be the first DJ to play Hockenheim was a surreal moment.
And of course, this week you're celebrating Club Cubic's sixth anniversary as well as starting a residency there this year! Why did you pick Cubic for your first China residency?
I'm really looking forward to the show and starting this residency. I want to be a part of what the club is building and as a destination, Macau has so much potential to be a huge draw for clubbers from all around the world. Club Cubic understand this vision and their ideas and plans were extremely exciting to me, so I'm happy to be joining the Club Cubic family.
What else can we look forward to from you in 2017? Are there any releases or tunes that you're excited to announce, perhaps even play this weekend?
I've been busy in the studio and have a bunch of fresh new releases forthcoming. I'll be announcing more details on my socials very soon. I'll definitely be playing new music during my residency in Club Cubic, so those fans coming to see me can expect a ton of new and never before heard music during my set!
Most of your biggest festivals are in the US, like Ultra and EDC. How do the fans and how does the scene and view of EDM in Asia differ from, say, the States or Europe?
Asia is a hotbed for new festivals and events. Electronic music has been in Asia for many years but these last few years have seen the passion really explode because an entire new fan base has become part of the journey. The scene differs in styles and ideas but this is what makes each country and region so unique. I love getting to travel and perform to different crowds because you're exposing yourself to new music, new cultures and the atmosphere is always so unique.
You stated last year that you were taking time away from the studio to focus on your live sets. Has that been working out for you? Are you looking to continue your live work or are you itching to get back into the studio?
I had a short break but it was only to focus on my shows and refresh myself before going back into the studio and finishing a load of tracks I'd been working on. Plus, I wanted to play around with some new ideas and see how that comes out later down the line. I'm back in the studio again and I'm back on the road working harder than ever. 2017 is an important year for me as I'll be delivering some really exciting new material and playing a lot of new and familiar parties.
With all the touring and studio time, you must have creative dry spells, like every artists. How do you overcome those tough times?
I travel a lot to DJ, so I use this time to unwind and to find inspiration. I try not to get to locked into one idea and will often work on a few track ideas at a time too.
Is there a record or song or artist that always inspires you and gets you back in the groove?
I actually listen to hip-hop to unwind, so that's really the music I use to clear my mind. I find listening to someone like Dr Dre helps me to take a break and find a groove again.
What about down the line? What's something you'd eventually like to do in your career or personal life?
I love touring and I love being in the studio making music, so that's where my passion lies. I can't ever see myself stopping DJing or producing. I'd like to work on another album one day in the future; I really enjoyed the last one and found it helped me grow as a producer. I also have a charity project United We Are Foundation that I'd like to put more time and energy into as we've big plans and I'd like to see those ideas help more children around the world.

This post the use of Cloud Computing to provide true 'On Demand Entertainment' and make television a Unified Entertainment Device. This paper uses some interesting use-cases for Televisions which can be possible by using the power of Cloud Computing to illustrate this. These applications can transform televisions to be a complete entertainment platform.
Televisions have come a far way from their monochromatic ancestors of the 1930's to become the modern age's ultimate home entertainers. Demands and expectations of the consumers have evolved tremendously to put a strain on the traditional mediums of entertainment, i.e. audio and video. Moreover, the advent of internet and has created another dimension in home entertainment – lets call it "On Demand Entertainment" (ODE). True ODE means consumers will be able to watch, listen, play or read whatever they want whenever they want.
The consumers of Televisions now have options of going on the Internet and search for ODE including (but not restricted to) games, news, video and audio. Internet giants like Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and Youtube have started cutting into Television industry's profits and have become a major force to reckon with in home entertainment segment.
In a parallel development, consumers now want seamless integration and convergence between the new and the old media of entertainment. This expectation has led to innovation in Television industry in the form of IPTV, satellite TV and internet enabled TVs. These technologies strive to provide ODE as well as try to fulfill the demand for a unified entertainment device. However, true ODE is still a distant dream because of the strain it puts on the storage and computation power of the back-end data centers.
Cloud Computing or internet based computing, which provides on demand storage and compute power to be billed in a pay-per-use basis, comes as a perfect strategic fit to solve the puzzle of ODE. Cloud Computing can provide a solution to the issue of huge requirements in compute and storage to provide true ODE.
Entertainment today includes much more than the traditional media of books, Television and Radio. As we discussed earlier, ODE has become a major expectation now-a-days. Also, people are now looking for a single device which can take care of all their entertainment needs. Televisions are facing some serious competition in this race for a unified entertainment device from hand held gadgets and Internet. Televisions need help of modern technology to break to the fore-front of this race. Cloud Computing is one such technology which can tremendously help the Television industry.
Cloud Computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.
Games are very compute intensive applications. So much so that they have dedicated platforms built for serious gamers. Televisions too have in-built games but not of the class of "Core Games". This is because core games require huge compute power that Televisions can't provide.
Now that Televisions have become internet enabled, we can use the compute power of the Cloud to do the computation at the back-end. We can push the gaming consoles on the cloud. All the user interactions can be pushed onto the Cloud; the cloud will compute based on the game rules and send back the results for the Television to display.
This can be a disruptive product in the gaming industry as this will give rise to true multi player games, where players join and leave the games as and when they will. Anyone with an internet enabled Television set can join the game as dependency on expensive gaming consoles will end.
Another interesting area of application of Cloud Computing in entertainment industry is of Ubiquitous Media Playback.
User is watching a movie on his Television when h e suddenly gets an urgent call to go somewhere. The movie is at a very interesting phase and he doesn't want to miss it. He can simply activate his "Ubiquitous Media Playback" feature with the push of a button and the movie starts playing back on his hand held gadget.
For this to become reality, all that is needed is that both his hand held gadget and Television have internet access. The Television starts uploading the movie (from the point where it was stopped) to the cloud; the cloud converts the movie to be fit to playback on his hand held gadget and streams it to the gadget. The gadget resumes playing the movie from the same point.
Thus, a simple application of the power of cloud computing can enhance the viewer experience manifolds.
People now try to keep all their media in digital format. They store it on hard disks, CDs, DVDs and BDs. But it still forms a bulky collection with the chance of loosing their data always lingering on top of their mind. What if they had a Personal media Store on the Cloud? What if they can use their Televisions to store all they want on the cloud?
This can be possible. Televisions connected to the Internet can be used to dump all the personal media on the cloud. The Cloud can then sort and organ ise the media under various categories and make a searchable index of all the user content. This data can then be customized according to the display and other capabilities of all the user"s devices. The user can then access this library of data using any device he wants.
This can be a pay per use service which can be very easily commercialized.
These are just a few use cases which illustrate the power of Cloud Computing in home entertainment. If we take a sweeping look at the whole home entertainment landscape, there would be thousands of applications of this tremendously powerful technology.
We know that technology is pushing the edges day in and day out. Televisions need to adopt these new technologies rapidly, in order to provide a better experience to the consumers. Cloud Computing is one such technology which has the power of revolutionizing the way entertainment is served. As this paper suggests, the use of this new technology with different applications can make the true ODE provider and a unified entertainment device.

Web Page Builder|web Page Design Optimization Google's search history page is a mess
Google's search history page is a mess
TechCrunch article Google's web page search history is a disorganized mess, as its algorithms make no sense of the web page you're looking for, according to the company's head of engineering.
Google's search engine crawls a number of websites and pages for keywords.
It then compares these results to the history of those websites and provides an estimate of the most popular search terms for those pages.
However, Google has also included the search history of websites it has found on the web to its "Page History" feature.
That feature allows users to see how many times a specific URL has appeared in search results, but it has not shown up in Google's own search results.
When you search for a phrase or phrase phrase of a phrase, Google will attempt to find the most common term, according the company.
That means that the more common term in the search results may be "google" than "google search," and thus Google will give you more results.
When searching for a keyword phrase, a site's page history could be incomplete and incomplete results would show up with incorrect information.
In the Google's latest update, it added a "PageHistory" tab, which is where the most recent searches for a word or phrase are.
Page History appears to be a big issue for Google.
When you're searching for Google, the first few results that appear are usually the results from Google itself.
The first results that Google shows up on top of your search results are from the search engines themselves.
This means that Google could be missing out on potentially important information from its own search history.
"Google search history has a big hole in it," said Chris Cox, Google's chief security officer, in a blog post on Friday.
"Google's history of search is not as well organized as what you'd expect for a search engine, which can lead to errors and mistakes."
Cox wrote that Google's history is not yet complete, and it needs to improve.
Google's page search was previously limited to the top 50 sites and its own history.
This is a big improvement for search, but not enough to satisfy everyone.
"If Google is not making any effort to make its search history more user-friendly, then the site will continue to be the most searched searchable of all search engines," Cox wrote.
Google is working on improving its page search and has already started improving the functionality of its search engine.
Cox wrote that the company is also "working to make page history a more user friendly and easy-to-understand part of the search experience."

Q: In a csv file get all values of rows and columns between 2 specific words say start and stop I have a csv file with time,event and acceleration values(x,y,z) as columns and I want to fetch only the values between the event values start and stop(where in event column there are various words like start stop motion location). I have done using data frame in pandas but I get values of start and stop instead of all the values in between them.
Csv file:
 time   event   earthAcceleration.x earthAcceleration.y earthAcceleration.z

2017-11-22T09:20:13.944 motion  -0.006380   -0.001029   -0.010781

2017-11-22T09:20:13.954 start

2017-11-22T09:20:13.964 motion  0.008521    -0.008223   0.022574

2017-11-22T09:20:13.974 stop

2017-11-22T09:20:13.984 motion  0.016283    0.003181    0.006969

Code:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('nehi.csv')
df = df[df['event'].between('start', 'stop', inclusive=True)]
df

My output is: values where the words = start and stop
time    event   earthAccelerationx earthAccelerationy earthAccelerationz

2017-11-22T09:20:13.954 start   NaN NaN NaN

2017-11-22T09:20:13.974 stop    NaN NaN NaN

Also tried
start= event[(event['event']=='start') & (event['event']=='stop')]
start.head()

But gives empty values
Desired output is: Values of time and acceleration between the words start and stop.
time       event    earthAccelerationx  earthAccelerationy earthAccelerationz

2017-11-22T09:20:13.964 motion  0.008521    -0.008223   0.022574

Goal: To extract all column and row values between 2 keywords in column named events.

A: I use 'hello' and 'world' how keywords.
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('two.txt', header=None, delimiter="hello", engine='python')
df2 = df.loc[:, 1]
values = []

for row in df2:
    print (row.index('world'))
    values.append(row[:row.index('world')])

print(values)

A: You could process the file first to extract the data you want.  This checks for the keywords and uses a flag to toggle keeping or disregarding the data.
csv file:
import io

s = ''' time   event   earthAcceleration.x earthAcceleration.y earthAcceleration.z
2017-11-22T09:20:13.944 motion  -0.006380   -0.001029   -0.010781
2017-11-22T09:20:13.954 start
2017-11-22T09:20:13.964 motion  0.008521    -0.008223   0.022574
2017-11-22T09:20:13.974 stop
2017-11-22T09:20:13.984 motion  0.016283    0.003181    0.006969
'''
#Python 2.7
f = io.BytesIO(s)
#Python 3.6
#f = io.StringIO(s)

Preprocess:
flag = False
data = []
header = f.next()
#or
#header = f.readline()
header = header.split()
for line in f:
   line = line.split()
   #print(line)
   if line[1] == 'start':
      flag = True
      continue
   elif line[1] == 'stop':
      flag = False
      continue
   if flag:
      data.append(line)
      #print(line)

Working with an actual file, use a context manager while processing.
flag = False
data = []
with open('nehi.txt') as f:
   header = next(f)
   header = header.split()
   for line in f:
      line = line.split()
      #print(line)
      if line[1] == 'start':
         flag = True
         continue
      elif line[1] == 'stop':
         flag = False
         continue
      if flag:
         data.append(line)
         #print(line)

Then you could feed data and header to pandas if you need a DataFrame.
df = pandas.DataFrame(data=data, columns = header)

A: Try this
start_index = df[df['event'].str.contains('start')].index[0] + 1
stop_index = df[df['event'].str.contains('stop')].index[0] - 1
new_df = df.loc[start_index:stop_index, :]

    time                    event   earthAcceleration.x earthAcceleration.y earthAcceleration.z
2   2017-11-22T09:20:13.964 motion  0.008521            -0.008223   0.022574

EDIT: This will give you a list of dataframes with with rows between each start and stop
start_index = df[df['event'].str.contains('start')].index
stop_index = df[df['event'].str.contains('stop')].index
l_dfs = []
for i in range(len(start_index)):
    l_dfs.append(df.loc[start_index[i]+1:stop_index[i]-1, :])

While there's still time to see plenty of the films + performances nominated for an Academy Award this year, you need to be honest with yourself: you're not gonna. Even if there's an AMC marathon. Luckily for you, Cineplex Movies released a supercut that is under three minutes long so you won't be completely clueless when Neil Patrick Harris steps onto the stage February 22 and starts making jokes about all the movies and famous faces sitting in their seat looking flawless (or tragic?). Good luck beating Ellen's selfie, Neil.
The supercut showcases a little of every (!!!) film, actor and actress nominated for an Oscar this year with a gorgeous piano backing track to make the 2015 movie mashup all the more elegantly epic. While we've totally got our own personal faves, we can't help but fall for all the films after watching this highlight reel. Too bad there's no bingo card for the supercut.
What Oscar-nominated film or performance was your favorite this past year? Let us know in the comments.


With the Ford Explorer being the #1 SUV in America for over a decade there is certainly no one in the US who is un-familiar with this vehicle. The trouble is that most people equate a Ford Explorer with soccer moms and shopping malls rather than off road trails such as the Rubicon and Terminator.
The Ford Explorer may be the best kept secret in the off-road world. When these rigs are stock they are capable off-road performers. After a few modifications they become nearly unstoppable.
From 1991-1994 the Ford Explorer platform came with a full ladder type frame based on the tough Ford Ranger platform, an extremely tough 8.8" 31 spline rear axle, Dana 35 Twin Traction Beam (TTB) front suspension (axle diameters and U-joints are the same as a Dana 44), choice of a manual or electronic shift BW1354 transfer case with low range, manual or automatic locking hubs, and a torquey, super reliable 4.0L V-6.
In 1995 Ford changed the front suspension on the Explorer to an IFS system (Independent Front Suspension). Although the IFS systems offer less wheel travel than the TTB systems, they have proven themselves to be extremely reliable off-road. 2002 brought more changes to the Explorer 4 door. The most noticeable change is the addition of an Independent Rear Suspension system in place of the live axle suspension all previous Explorers shared.
So, what does it take to make the Explorer "really" off-road worthy? The same type of modifications as any other rig. Large tires for flotation and ground clearance. A lift to accommodate the big tires. Re-gearing to compensate for the larger diameter of the tires and a locker or two for putting the power to the ground. Approach and departure angles can be maximized by installing aftermarket bumpers, and the break over angle is excellent since the transfer case is tucked well up within the frame rails.
2011 brought the biggest changes to the Explorer since it's inception in 1991. Beginning in 2011 the Ford Explorer was built on a unibody chassis. There is no longer a separate frame. In 2011 Ford also ditched the Explorer's transfer case, so low range is no longer available. Sadly, due to the changes which have made the Explorer more "car like" the Fifth Generation Explorer is the least capable in off highway conditions of all the generations. I am looking forward to eventually seeing 5th gen Explorers with solid axle conversions front and rear, along with a proper transfer case.

The drinks company Diageo has announced plans to cut over 100 jobs in Scotland because of concerns over Brexit, it was reported today, including 70 redundancies in Fife and 35 near Glasgow.
"This is the cold sober reality of a hard Conservative Brexit. Diageo is a huge employer in parts of Fife and Glasgow that needs these jobs.


The NPSA welcomes today's release of the Discussion Paper – Review of Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation. This Paper comprehensively explores the operation of all aspects of the supply chain, from manufacturers to consumers. While many of the questions posed might be controversial, the process itself should be able to examine all these issues in a methodical and reasonable manner.
According to Donna Staunton, spokesperson for the NPSA, "The Discussion Paper has raised all the issues that are of concern to wholesalers. We look forward to deepening our engagement with the review process to ensure that Australia has a viable and sustainable pharmaceutical wholesaling sector into the future," she said.
"Australia's system of pharmaceutical wholesaling ensures rapid and equitable access to pharmaceuticals across Australia, no matter who you are or where you live. This notion of timely access to medicines is a central pillar of Australia's National Medicines Policy," she added.

Twelfth and thirteenth centuries
Later thirteenth to mid-sixteenth century
In the late 12th and early 13th centuries these properties, which occupied the E. corner of Bow Lane and Cheapside, were in the same ownership. The N. part of 24 (24D-E) seems to have been part of the same property. In the 13th and 14th centuries there were shops on the Cheapside frontage with a seld behind (27). There were also shops along the Bow Lane frontage, where in the 14th century two principal interests (25-6) can be identified.
After the Great Fire 25-6 and part of 27 were removed in order to widen Bow Lane. The remainder of 27 corresponded approximately with no. 59 Cheapside in 1858.
In the late 12th century Canterbury Cathedral Priory had a rent of 2s. from Waleran at the feast of St. Peter ad vincula for the land of Fulcred son of Everard, which probably occupied the site of 24D-E and 25-7. Waleran died early in the 13th century and the property was divided between his widow, Lucy Bucointe, and their children. Soon after Waleran's death Lucy married Andrew Blund, from whose land in about 1220 the 2s. rent to Canterbury Cathedral Priory was said to be due at Michaelmas. By his testament Waleran left rent from the property on the site of 24D-E (q.v.) to his eldest son John. To Philip Walleram, who was Lucy's son and John's brother and probably, therefore, Waleran's son, he left the seld (27) in Cheapside (forum) on the E. side of Bow Lane (propinquior versus orientem iuxta venellam de la Corveisir'). To St. Bartholomew's Hospital he left a quit-rent of 8s. for lights in the infirmary and for Lucy's obit, due from the shop (part of 27) on the W. side of the entry to the seld (versus occidentem iuxta introitum selde). To his son Matthew Waleram he left 2 shops in St. Mary le Bow parish on the N. side of (propinquiores versus aquilam iuxta) the shop of the canons of St. Bartholomew. These shops may have been in Bow Lane on part of the site of 25-6. He also left to Matthew 2 shops which William Godegrom held in Cheapside on the E. side of (versus orientem iuxta) the land of Reginald le Viell, but these were probably not part of this property. (fn. 1)
John's share of the property was subsequently in the possession of Lucy Bucointe, who disposed of it c. 1230, when Philip Walram still held his share (see 24D-E). Soon after this the greater part of 25-7 was in the possession of Lucy and Cecilia, daughters of Waleram and Lucy Bucointe, who in 1231x7 divided their joint inheritance between themselves. Cecilia gave up to Lucy all her right in property at Edgware and Stanmore (Middlesex), while Lucy gave up to Cecilia all her right in the seld and solar (27) in Cheapside on the E. side of Corveiserestrate which had belonged to their parents. Next to Cheapside this property measured 5 1/4 ells (15 ft. 9 in.; 4.8 m.) in width from within the eastern wall (murus) to the western partition (paries); at the S. end it measured 4 1/2 ells (13 ft. 6 in.; 4.11 m.); it was 21 1/8 ells and 2 in. (63 ft. 6 1/2 in.; 42.98 m.) in length; the entry to the seld was 2 1/8 ells (6 ft. 4 1/2 in.; 1.94 m.) in width between 2 shops; the shop on the E. side of the entry was 2 1/8 ells (6 ft. 4 1/2 in.; 1.94 m.) in length; the shop on the left (?W.) side of the entry was excluded from the agreement; and the whole property was charged with 1d. socage to the king. Lucy daughter of Lucy Bucointe was probably identical with the Lucy Walerand who at about the same time granted to Philip de Bruges 2 shops in Corveyserestrete in St. Mary le Bow parish (part of 25- 6). These shops lay between the shop formerly of Gervase le Feutiner (? part of 25-6) on the S. and the shop of Margaret daughter of Lucy (probably Lucy Walerand; the shop was probably part of 25-6) on the N. The shop nearer Cheapside was 2 3/4 ells (8 ft. 3 in.; 2.51 m.) in width next to the street and 2 1/2 ells less a quarter (i.e. 2 1/4 ells: 6 ft. 9in.; 2.06 m.) in depth. The other shop was 2 1/2 ells 2 in. (7 ft. 8 in.; 2.34 m.) in width and 2 ells (6 ft.; 1.83 m.) in depth. Lucy reserved a rent of 5s. and Philip made a payment of a gold besant. In about the middle of the 13th century Lucy Garlaunde and Cecilia Blund were said to be due to respond for the 2s. rent to Canterbury Cathedral Priory, but it was not known who held the land. Waleran was said to be the grandfather of Lucy and Cecilia, but it seems more likely that this was an error and that they were his daughters. Subsequently the rent remained in default and was said to be due from the land of Andrew Blund. (fn. 2)
In 1251-2 William de Wilardesbyr' sold and quitclaimed to Henry de Walemund, pepperer, the shop in Corveyserestrat in St. Mary le Bow parish which William had inherited from his brother John de Wilardesbyr'. The shop was on the fee of St. Bartholomew's Priory between the shop of Osbert de Reyleia to the N. and the shop of Peter son of Alan to the S. John had had a charter from the canons of St. Bartholomew, to whom 8s. rent was due, and Henry paid £2. 13s. 4d. for the grant. (fn. 3) The location of this shop is not certain. It may have occupied part of the site of 25-6, in which case, since it was on the fee of St. Bartholomew's Priory, it may have been next to the shop which Waleran left to his son Matthew. Henry de Walemund acquired the whole of 24 and so the shop and its neighbours may have been part of that property, but there are no other references to shops there in the 13th century. About 1220 St. Bartholomew's Priory held the N. part of 23, but there are no references to shops in connection with that property.
In 1269 24E was bounded on its N. side by the land and shops of William Bokerel, (fn. 4) who perhaps held the whole of 25-7.
This property and 27A (q.v.) may be represented by the 3 shops with solars above in St. Mary le Bow parish which William de Derby, citizen and tailor, had by the grant of Thomas of St. Albans, nephew of Sir Stephen de Asshewy, knight. In 1352 Sir Stephen's son and heir, Stephen de Asshewy, quitclaimed to William in the shops. William de Derby left the shops to his wife Agnes for life, with remainder to his right heirs. William's son and heir Edmund de Derby died in June 1361, a few days before his mother. Robert de Louthe, joiner, entered the property, which was subsequently described as two shops, and received the rent for 3 years. He then sold one shop (probably 27A) to William de Essex, draper, and the other (25) to John de Norhampton, draper, who still held them in 1370 when the Crown committed the shops to them. The shops were worth £4 a year. (fn. 5) The title to these properties, however, had descended to the heirs of William de Derby, and in July 1361 William 'in the lane' of Mackelewodehous in Sudbury, Derbyshire, who was cousin and heir of Edmund de Derby, clerk, granted Edmund's former properties in London to William de Bukkeby, rector of St. Mary Aldermary and Henry de Idebury, clerk. In August these grantees conveyed the two shops between 24 on the S., 26 on the N., and 27 on the E. to John de Enefeld, citizen and pepperer, and John atte Mille of Shalyngford, chaplain. By his will, dated 1368 and proved in 1369 de Enefeld left his tenements in this parish to be sold. According to the will, de Enefeld was in debt to Robert de Louthe and this probably explains how the latter came to receive the rent from 25, which John de Northampton, citizen and draper, held from de Enefeld. In 1369 de Enefeld's executors sold 25 to de Northampton and his wife Joan, to be held to them and John's heirs and assigns. The property now consisted of a shop with a great doorway (hostium) on its S. side which served as an entry to 27, also held by de Northampton. By his will, dated 1397 and proved in 1398, de Northampton left the shop and great doorway representing 25, together with the corner shop representing 27A, to the nunnery at Cheshunt (Herts.) as the endowment for his obit. There is no later record of the nunnery's interest in the property. These properties (25 and 27A) were probably represented by the three shops valued at £2. 13s. 4d. yearly which came into the king's possession in 1384, when de Northampton fell from grace. In 1385 the Crown granted the shops to John Elys, yeoman of the chamber, rent-free for life, but in 1387 the shops were presumably restored to de Northampton with his other properties. (fn. 6)
For possible 16th-century references to 25, see 26.
In 1361 a shop of St. Mary Spital adjoined the N. side of 25. (fn. 7) The hospital's property here was probably bounded by 27 on the N. and E. A part of it may have been held by Alice Chirche in 1394, when Clerkenwell Priory, the landlord of 27, complained of intrusion against her and the prior of St. Mary Spital. In 1489-90 and 1524-5 a quit-rent of 5s. due to Clerkenwell Priory from a tenement of St. Mary Spital in this parish was in default. At the latter date the tenement was said formerly to have been held by Juliana le Pulter. (fn. 7)
A series of 16th-century rentals and accounts record the tenants of St. Mary Spital in this parish. At this date 25 appears to have been represented by 3 tenements, although it is probable that these properties also included 25. One of the tenements was let for £2 rent: no tenant is named in 1516; Anthony Burley, grocer, held in 1519, and ... Carckett, scrivener (probably William Carckett), held in 1523. The other tenement was let for £1 rent, which John Hylle, leatherseller, paid between 1516 and 1523. These two tenements were then united and in 1539-40 Agnes Sawkyns or Salkyns, widow, held them for £3 rent as a single tenement under an indenture by which the landlord was obliged to carry out repairs. The third tenement was held by John Wodwarde, barber, who paid £2 rent between 1516 and 1523; Thomas Walker held for the same rent in 1539, and in 1539-40 William Walker held under an indenture for a term of years. In 1544 Nicholas Bacon, solicitor of the Court of Augmentations, William Breton, and Henry Asshfeld purchased a grant from the Crown in free socage of the tenements held by Sawkyns and William Walker together with many other former properties in St. Mary Spital, but no others in the parish. (fn. 8)
This property subsequently came into the possession of William Lock. In 1549 it was probably represented by two houses inhabited by Agnes Sawkyns and John Skott, tailor, which Lock left to his son Matthew Lock. The houses were held in free burgage. William Lock died in 1550 and the two tenements later came into the possession of his eldest son Thomas Lock, who in 1554 granted them to feoffees to hold to his use and that of his wife Mary and then to the use of his son William Lock, who died in 1558. In 1561, when Mary was still alive and Thomas's son Matthew Lock had the reversionary interest, the 2 messuages were held by Agnes Blauncher; they were now said to be held by knight service and to be worth £4 a year clear. (fn. 9)
By about 1270 the greater part of this property had come into the possession of Clerkenwell Priory. It was probably the seld in Westchep for which Agnes le Bret owed 16s. rent to William Parys, whose executors in 1271 granted the rent to Sir Adam de Stratton. In 1271-2 Robert le Bret, goldsmith, and his wife Agnes bound themselves, their heirs, and their tenants to Adam de Stratton in 17s. rent for a shop in the parish of St. Mary le Bow between the seld of Clerkenwell Priory (27) and the shop of John le Bret (?28) which Adam had granted to them. This shop probably occupied the N.E. corner of 27 and was probably among the tenements which by her will, proved in 1311, Agnes le Bret left to be sold. In 1312-13, when the executors of Alice le Bret of West Ham granted the shop to Thomas de Welleford, hosier (calciamentarius), his wife Alice, and the heirs and assigns of Thomas, the shop was bounded by 28 to the E., the seld of Clerkenwell Priory (27) to the W., and the land beneath the solar of John de Stanes. The shop measured 2 1/2 ells (7 ft. 6 in.; 2.29 m.) by 1 1/2 ells (4 ft. 6 in.; 1.37 m.) and was 3 1/2 ells (10 ft. 6 in.; 3.2 m.) high. In 1313 Robert son of Robert le Bret quitclaimed to Thomas and Alice in the property. In spite of the terms of the grant, Alice, widow of Thomas de Welleford, by her will, dated 1347 and proved in 1348, left the shop to her son Thomas, who by his will, dated and proved in 1361, left the shop, said to be worth £2 a year, to his wife Maud with remainder to his heirs and then to his brother William Welleford for life. Thomas's widow Maud then married Stephen Cavendissh, citizen and draper, and in 1363 William de Welleford, son of the elder Thomas de Welleford, claimed the shop from Stephen and Maud on the grounds that Alice, widow of Thomas de Welleford, had only a life interest in it. The deed of 1312-13 was produced in evidence and William recovered seisin. Later in 1363 William granted the shop to Stephen and Maud, with remainder to their joint heirs and then to Maud's heirs. In 1386, after her husband's death, Maud, who had no issue, granted it to John Rote, citizen and skinner, and William de Aston, clerk. The shop descended to John Rote's daughter and heir, Maud, who with her husband, John Scalby, granted it to Thomas Haxey, clerk, Henry Maupas, clerk, and Richard Forster, citizen. Maupas died and Forster gave up his right to Haxey, who in 1415, when the shop was bounded by the seld of Clerkenwell Priory on the S. and W., granted it to John Botiller, citizen and draper. By his will, dated 1436 and proved in Husting in 1466, Botiller left the shop to the rector and churchwardens of St. Swithin in Candlewick Street for the maintenance of his anniversary. (fn. 10)
The shop on the corner of Bow Lane and Cheapside (27A) probably came into the possession of William de Derby by 1352 and then descended with his other properties to William de Bukkeby, rector of St. Mary Aldermary, and Henry de Idebury, chaplain, who acquired them in 1361. De Bukkeby subsequently granted the shop to William de Essex, citizen and draper, and William Coly, hosier (caligar'). De Essex granted the shop to John Norhampton, citizen and draper, for a term of 20 years from Easter 1380 for a sum of money which Norhampton had already paid. In June 1380 de Essex quitclaimed to Norhampton. This shop was beneath the tenement of Clerkenwell Priory and was bounded by the shop of the priory on the E. and the shop of St. Mary Spital (26) on the S. By his will, dated 1397 and proved in 1398, Norhampton left the shop with 25 (q.v.) to the nuns of Cheshunt. (fn. 11) There is no later reference to this property which presumably came into the possession of Clerkenwell Priory.
The remaining parts of 27, comprising the seld, at least one shop on the Cheapside frontage, and the rooms above all the shops on Cheapside, seem in the 14th century usually to have been held from Clerkenwell Priory by a single tenant. By 1327 this was probably John de Besevyle, tailor, from whose shop King Edward II granted a rent of 4s. and rent from other properties to Walter de Shependon, knight, for life. In 1339 Edward III granted the reversion of these rents to Reginald de Conductu. At least one other of these rents had once belonged to Adam de Stratton (cf. 24), and so it seems likely that this shop was part of 27. De Besevyle certainly held the seld here in 1350. By his will, dated and proved in March 1352, de Besevyle left to his kinsman Ralph the seld with the dwelling built above it (mansio desuperedificata) which he had at the corner of Cordewanerstrete by grant of Clerkenwell Priory. To the nuns of Clerkenwell themselves he left his little shop in Cheapside next to the door of the seld and the sum of 13s. 4d. to cover the rent due for the remainder of his term in the seld and corner tenement. Ralph de Besevill held the seld in 1362, but had probably ceased to do so by 1367, when Clerkenwell Priory sought an assize of nuisance against the Minoresses, landlords of the adjoining property to the S., concerning a tenement in this parish. By 1369 John de Northampton held the seld and at that time or subsequently acquired 25 and the other parts of 27. (fn. 12) In 1384, when de Northampton was convicted of treason, he was said to hold the seld and the small shop on the W. side of the entry to it from the priory for a term of 60 years from 1368 at £8 rent. The priory, which was losing rent on account of the royal seizure of the property, recovered possession in 1385. (fn. 13)
The shop acquired by the parish of St. Swithin probably came into the possession of Clerkenwell Priory in the 15th century, and by 1524-5 the priory paid the parish a quit-rent of 15s. out of 27. In 1489-90 27 was a tenement which George Knyvesworth had formerly held from the priory for £8 rent. W. Weston, mercer, now paid £4 rent for an inner shop (shop' infer') which perhaps occupied the site of the earlier seld, and Henry Glover paid £1. 6s. 8d. for a tenement and other houses, making a total of more than £5. 6s. 8d. A record of a further payment of 6s. 8d. by Glover has been struck through, and a rough and barely intelligible addition to the account seems to refer to a subsequent tenancy by J. Barbour of a part of the property above the jetty of the tenement. In 1524-5 William Loke, mercer, held the tenement representing 27 under lease for a term of 41 years of which this was the twenty-first. Loke or Lock paid £4 rent, but £6. 13s. 4d. had formerly been received. In April 1538, more than a year before the dissolution of the priory, Lock took a 50-year lease of the tenement at the same rent and was said to be dwelling there in 1540 when the king granted him the property to hold by knight service for a rent of 8s. (fn. 14)
In 1537 Lock was said to be dwelling in 23B, and so in 1540, when he acquired both 24 and 27, he may have extended his residence to include part of 24 which lay between 27 and 23B. From later references it is clear that the capital messuage of which he was seised at the time of his death in 1550 was 23B (q.v.). 27 probably included Lock's principal retail outlet in Cheapside and was known as the Lock. By his will, dated 1550, he left to his five sons, Thomas, Matthew, John, Henry and Michael Lock, his dwelling house in Bow Lane (23B), his house at the Lock in Cheapside (27) and his house at the Bell in Cheapside (28), with all the shops belonging to them, with the intent that his sons should dwell there and continue to keep the retail shop in his name. At Lock's death the messuage with shops called the Lock (27) was held by Ambrose Ferrar, while a shop which had previously formed part of the property was held by Lock himself. In 1554 Thomas Lock had a third share of this property, which he presumably held jointly with his surviving brothers, Henry and Michael. Thomas conveyed this share to feoffees (J. Coswarthe, T. Stacye, and Anthony Hickman, mercers) to hold to the use of himself and his wife Mary for life and then to the use of Thomas's son William Lock and his heirs, with remainder to Thomas's other sons Rowland, Thomas, and Matthew and their heirs. Thomas Lock died in 1556. He was survived by his widow Mary, and his son William's property came into the hands of the Crown by reason of his minority. In 1558 William himself died, and in 1561 his heir was his brother Matthew Lock, then aged 9. At this time the messuage known as the Lock (27) was still held by Ambrose Ferrour. Ferrour had been taxed as a resident of this parish in 1544, but under Cordwainer ward, indicating that he then resided in Bow Lane, not Cheapside; in the assessment list his name appears next to that of Thomas Lock. (fn. 15)
Matthew Lock probably entered into possession of 27 along with the other properties which had belonged to his brother William, but it is not known when he or his successors disposed of the holding.
By the mid 17th century this property had probably passed from the Lock family into the possession of Simon Hammond, cook, who also owned the northernmost part of 24 (see 24E). In 1638 Hammond was tithe-payer for a house in Bow Lane worth £20 a year which probably occupied part of the site of 25-6 and part of 24E. By his will, dated 1651 and proved in 1653, he left the house where he lived and a shop held by Richard Russell (probably part of 25-6) to 5 of his children; his widow Martha later claimed the property as dower (for details, see 23B). Russell's shop was probably the one in Cheapside valued at £17 a year in 1638, when Edward Russell held it. In 1666, on the eve of the Great Fire, part of 25-6 probably consisted of a house with 2 hearths occupied by John Russell (perhaps a relative of Richard Russell), 'latinman' (presumably a dealer in latten or brass). In 1669 the 'ground of one whole house' which probably represented the site of 25-6 was purchased for £120 from Mrs. Martha Hammond and her children in order to enlarge Bow Lane. The survey drawn out on this occasion records the bounds of the property. (fn. 16)
The Crown continued to receive its 8s. rent from this property, which in 1664 was held by a person called Knight. A Mr. Knight probably inhabited the property in 1638, when he was a tithe-payer for a house worth £30 a year. Francis Knight, esquire, owned 27 in 1667, when a strip of ground along the Bow Lane frontage was purchased for £80 in order to enlarge the Lane. The survey made on this occasion enables the frontage of the property on Bow Lane to be established. In 1668 Knight obtained from the city leave to use a vault under the street (Bow Lane?) next to his house in Cheapside, for which he was to pay a rent of 10s. Foundations for the new house on the remaining part of the site of 27 were surveyed in 1667 for William Withers, who was probably Knight's tenant and who in 1666, when he was described as a draper, had occupied a house with 6 hearths here. The dimensions given show that the S. and E. side of the property occupied exactly the same position as in the 13th century. Knight's interest in the property passed to Ambrose Crawley, citizen and draper, who in 1694 with his wife Mary, granted the newly- built brick messuage there, now divided into two and formerly known as the Lock, to William Withers the elder, citizen and fishmonger, at farm for a term of 15 years from 1729 at £15 rent. Withers had rebuilt the house, apparently at his own expense, and was to enjoy it rent-free in the meantime. Withers lived there until 1700 when he died. (fn. 17)

falls into two parts. The first section discusses the main elements of the touring repertoire. This consisted initially of popular melodramas such as The Manxman, Trilby and The Sign of the Cross. The Bandmann Opera Company, his most important company, provided facsimile versions of Edwardian musical comedies, most of which were drawn from the George Edwardes' Gaiety Theatre, with whom Bandmann had an exclusive agreement. Another mainstay of his repertoire was variety theatre, which became increasingly important after 1914. Each genre was represented by its own company, each of which toured on an integrated rotation system. The second section discusses the heterogeneous publics on the Bandmann Circuit as a colonial public sphere. Bandmann's publics included non-English-speaking audiences in Japan, parts of China and the Dutch East Indies, among other areas.

HSEQ Jobs
Delivered April 8th, 2021. Contributors: Erika O.
Reports and articles about jobs and professionals in the health, safety, environment, and quality (HSEQ) space indicate that there is an ongoing shift from specialists to generalists and a growing demand for management skills. In the future, professionals in the space are expected to take a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving and exhibit attributes such as systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and occupational health and safety advocacy
Growth in the Number of HSEQ-Related Job Postings
According to EHS Daily Advisor, a website that serves environment, health, and safety professionals, "the opportunities for safety professionals are expected to continue growing over the next several years at a rate higher than most occupations."
While data showing the growth in the number of HSEQ-related job postings worldwide could not be located in the public domain, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the number of occupational health and safety specialist and technician jobs in the United States will grow by 4% or 4,800 jobs during the period 2019-2029.
The bureau also reports that the number of health and safety engineer jobs in the country will grow by 4% or 1,000 jobs during the period 2019-2029.
Shift from Specialists to Generalists
Some sources suggest that there is an ongoing shift from specialists to generalists in the health and safety space. This shift may partly explain why the number of job postings covering all of health, safety, environment, and quality is growing.
For example, an article published by Industrial Safety & Hygiene News in July 2019 shows that plants that used to have an environmental specialist, a safety engineer, and an industrial hygienist now manage with just one generalist.
According to this article, plant-level generalists tend to have more job security than technical specialists.
One safety manager for a medium-size steel mill said he feels secure about his job because he is an all-rounder. This safety manager shared: "I handle it all here — safety, industrial hygiene, environmental. What I don't do I contract out."
Safety professionals also tend to have greater job security than the more technical industrial hygienists because they are more versatile and their responsibilities are broader in scope. Nowadays, the skills and expertise of industrial hygienists can be outsourced. Management thinking is also better ingrained in safety professionals than in industrial hygienists.
Professor Andrew Hale of consultancy firm Hastam, recently said: "Previously, safety professionals were dealing with the risks directly, applying the regulations. Now, they have moved up a hierarchical level to management, delivery methods, and management systems."
According to James Bourne Cmiosh, a health and safety manager at Viridis Power, the role of the occupational safety and health (OSH) professional has changed from one that gives instructions and identifies non-compliance to one that works with people and understands people.
A study published in October 2019 in the journal Safety Science also shows that in Italy, the health, safety, and environment (HSE) role has evolved from a technician role to a professional role and is expected to eventually evolve into a managerial role.
Increase in HSE Budgets
The projected increase in HSE budgets is likely one of the reasons the number of HSEQ-related job postings is growing.
A report published in 2019 by the International SOS Foundation, an organization that advances the improvement of the health and safety of mobile workers worldwide, shows that 49% of HSE professionals worldwide expect that their HSE budgets will grow by at least 25% by 2030.
Six percent of HSE professionals worldwide believe their HSE budget will increase by at least 100% by 2030.
Sixteen percent of HSE professionals worldwide believe their HSE budget will increase by at least 50% by 2030.
Twenty-seven percent of HSE professionals worldwide believe their HSE budget will increase by at least 25% by 2030.
It is expected that technology that can automate HSE processes and enable data analysis will have the lion's share of the HSE budget.
Expansion of the HSE Market
The expansion of the HSE market is likely also one of the reasons the number of HSEQ-related job postings is growing.
According to Grand View Research, a market research firm, the size of the global HSE market was $51.79 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during the period 2020-2027.
Grand View Research expects the size of the global HSE market to reach $88.39 billion by 2027.
Transparency Market Research, another market research firm, expects the market to grow from $4.7293 billion in 2019 to $11.5005 billion by 2027. It projects that the market will grow at a CAGR of 11.7% during the period 2019-2027.
Driving the growth of the market are the increasing number of government regulations and the growing demand for HSE products and services in the following industries: energy and mining, chemical and petrochemical, construction, manufacturing, telecommunications and information technology, and healthcare.
Other growth drivers are the growing environmental concern, the growing incidence of injuries, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
According to the American Society of Safety Professionals, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the important role that OSH professionals play in helping organizations and companies protect workers, guarantee business continuity, and communicate risks.
Many OSH professionals, particularly those located in the United States, are focused on planning and preparing for the possibility of local COVID-19 transmission in areas or regions where their company or organization operates.
Recommendations from government agencies have driven safety and health professionals to make considerable administrative and engineering changes such as the repositioning of workstations, the installation of plastic partitions, and the modification of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Growth in the Number of HSE Manager Jobs
Career site Zippia provides some information on the growing number of HSE Manager jobs.
According to Zippia, the number of HSE Manager jobs in the United States is projected to grow by 10% during the period 2018-2028.
Zippia expects that during this period, the HSE Manager career will generate 46,200 job opportunities in the country.
Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Occupational Health and Safety
In its report, "Safety and Health at the Heart of the Future of Work," the International Labor Organization emphasized the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to OSH.
According to the organization, "occupational hygienists have become less of a professional presence and less influential in those economies in which manufacturing, heavy industry and mining have declined, while more general OSH practitioners may have grown in number and influence."
The OSH field now requires new skill sets and a holistic view of hazards in the work environment.
The organization believes that for OSH teams to be successful, they need to be knowledgeable in the following disciplines: law, work design, tools, the environment, human nature, physical and social impacts, medicine and neuroscience, work organization, and human resources.
Stuart Hughes Cmiosh, the head of health and safety for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, says that OSH professionals must be well-versed in business, finance, logistics, and production. They must be able to speak the language of the leaders of their organization.
Attributes of the OSH Professional of the Future
Based on a study published in October 2020 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, the OSH professional of the future is expected to exhibit several attributes.
According to the study, these attributes are systems thinking, emotional intelligence, collaboration, and OSH advocacy.
The OSH professional of the future should be able to apply a holistic approach to problem solving. He or she should be able to understand how parts of a system relate or connect with each other and how the system functions as a whole.
The OSH professional of the future is expected to have emotional intelligence. He or she is expected to have strong interpersonal and communication skills, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude.
He or she is also expected to have strong collaboration skills. He or she should be able to cooperate with other fields or disciplines with ease.
Lastly, the OSH professional of the future is expected to be an OSH champion, a person who will advocate for OSH at all opportunities.
According to Justin Scace, a senior editor at Safety Decisions and EHS Daily Advisor, "[EHS managers] need to brush up on their business or financial acumen, and also work on soft skills as well, things like how to network effectively and be a persuasive advocate for safety."
Expansion of the Job Scope of HSE Professionals
The report of the International SOS Foundation shows what occupational health and safety will look like after a decade. According to this report, there are expectations that by 2030, the job scope and responsibilities of HSE professionals will be broader than what they are now.
Based on this report, 75% of HSE professionals worldwide expect their responsibilities and job scope to expand by over 25% by 2030.

There will also be a greater need for HSE professionals to interact and engage with stakeholders from various levels of their organization.

To find the desired information, we consulted reports and articles that were published by authorities in the space. By authorities, we mean organizations that specialize or are well-versed in occupational health and safety, such as the International SOS Foundation, the American Society of Safety Professionals, and the International Labor Organization, market research firms that publish reports on the environment, health, and safety (ESH) market, such as Grand View Research and Transparency Market Research, scientific journals that focus or touch on health and safety, such as Safety Science and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, online magazines or news sites that focus on environment, safety, and health, such as EHS Daily Advisor, Industrial Safety & Hygiene News, and the IOSH Magazine, government agencies that provide labor statistics, such as the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, and career sites such as Zippia.
We kept in mind that not all jobs or roles in the space are labeled HSEQ. Some are labeled HSE, ESH, OSH, HSQE, or just plain safety and health.
