Dinoponera hispida (hispida, from the Latin hispidus: bristle, referring to the conspicuous bristle-like setae covering the body) is a queenless species of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. The species is known only from the type locality in Tucuruí, Pará, Brazil.

Description
Workers can be distinguished from other species by the following combination of character states: conspicuous bristle-like setae covering the entire body but most pronounced on the dorsum of the head, mesosoma, petiole and gaster; fine striations on dorsum of the head; integument smooth and shiny with bluish luster most visible on sides of the head; antero–inferior corner of pronotum without tooth-like process; petiole bulging at antero-dorsal corner; insertions of setae on dorsum of petiole raised, papillate.

Males are unknown.

Beautiful beets, broccoli, cauliflower, summer squash, zucchini, onions, and a few adorable patty pan squash. This is a week full of veggies begging to be grilled, sauteed, roasted and devoured.
Last night we roasted the beets (vegetable candy, absolutely delicious) and sauteed their greens with some onions and garlic. It was fascinating how variable the flavor of the greens was--from a touch bitter to a touch sweet. Tonight we sauteed/steamed some kohlrabi, summer squash, zucchini, onion, and garlic. The veggies were served over a bed of jasmine rice and topped with slices of lemon pepper chicken. YUM. Tomorrow, for Memorial Day, I think we are going to grill up spears of sweet potatoes (already on hand), summer squash, and zucchini. I have no idea what we will have with them--steaks maybe--but it doesn't really matter, the vegetables will be the stars.
We are planning to make up some stir fry kits with all that lovely broccoli and cauliflower. We'll probably throw the remaining Chinese Cabbage in there as well as some kohlrabi. Some of zucchini will go into zucchini bread (hopefully with some canned pumpkin I have sitting in the fridge). The strawberries have already been cleaned and frozen in preparation for jam. They smelled absolutely divine, so I have no doubt the jam will be heavenly!
I have veggie envy. Also, you've made me hungry for stir-fry.
grilled sweet taters? please let us know about that one!
Gentlevoice--The grilled sweet tater probably would have worked a lot better if we had simply grilled them in their skins. Instead we peeled and sliced them and wrapped them in foil. Excellent flavor, totally mushy texture.

Q: Proving that $(v_1 - v_2, v_2 - v_3, \dots, v_{n - 1} - v_n, v_n)$ spans $V$ if $(v_1, \dots, v_n)$ spans $V$ Does anyone know how to prove the following without using determinants? Our class uses Axler's textbook, which presents linear algebra without determinants.
Prove that if $(v_1, \dots, v_n)$ spans $V$, then so does $(v_1 - v_2, v_2 - v_3, \dots, v_{n - 1} - v_n, v_n)$, which is obtained by subtracting from each vector (except the last one) the following vector.
Clearly, you could show that $\det(A) \neq 0$ where the columns of $A$ are the respective vectors in the second spanning set, but I'm looking for another way.

A: You need to show that each of $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ can be obtained as linear combinations of $v_1-v_2,\ldots,v_{n-1}-v_n,v_n$.
We have
$$
v_n=v_n,\ v_{n-1}=(v_{n-1}-v_n)+v_n,\ \ldots,v_2=(v_2-v_3)+v_2,\ v_1=(v_1-v_2)+v_2.

Dear Mayor Coleman, a bevy of city workers met me at the cottonwood tree this afternoon – if bevy is quite the word to include a burly Public Works guy. There they all were, kind, and informative.
What seemed to doom the tree at this meeting was the traffic circle which is part of the bike way now slated to exist on Griggs.If the traffic circle is put where the corners are in the crossing, it will impair the tree. Yes, the traffic circle could be moved somewhat west in the intersection, thus making more room for a cottonwood tree boulevard, but neither the burly public works guy nor the slender forestry guy was particularly hep to this notion. Could it be possible to make such an adjustment to a plan that had been federally funded for months and needed to be implemented? They kept shaking their heads and talking about digging down and injuring the tree which would surely fall on something or someone.
For me, at this point, the root of the problem goes back to initial Lex-Ham discussions of the two choices for the bikeway through the neighborhood – should it be narrow Griggs with many older trees or should it be broader Dunlap with broader boulevards and almost all young trees?
The community had no "forestry input" at the point of deciding. No one came to tell the group that mature trees would be in danger of being removed if two traffic circles were put in.
Here's my suggestion: that there be a plan put in place to do just that–to make sure that community members asked to help make a decision about city streets and traffic patterns be informed about just what would happen to current trees if certain solutions were put in place. I suspect knowing the cottonwood tree would be doomed with putting a traffic circle on Griggs and Portland might well have swayed the community against selecting Griggs and instead choosing Dunlap.
Meanwhile I keep hoping that a tree fairy will wave a magic wand and gently ease the traffic circle west, expanding the boulevard for the cottonwood. Just maybe the cottonwood could become the Poster Tree for St. Paul's new bikeway system. After all, both trees and biking help lessen the CO2 that cars spew into our atmosphere. Both trees and bikes are part of a global solution.
kissed the ground all over.
Thank you for all you've done. With best wishes.

A generation of musical icons is slowly and painfully being taken away from us way too soon. Prince Rogers Nelson, 57, was found dead Thursday morning at his Minnesota home, according to the Associated Press.
Prince's peers and other celebrities took to social media to express their grief and cherish their memories of Prince.
Also influenced by Prince's music catalogue, Missy Elliott took to Twitter to reminisce on the picture of Prince she had drawn on her wall.

Ghost Music
By An Yu
Review by Maya Fleischmann
In An Yu's ethereal Ghost Music, a woman's grip on her suffocating life loosens as she is drawn into a surreal world of unspoken secrets and ghostly experiences.
"Solitude is tolerable, even enjoyable at times. But when you realise that you've given your life to someone, yet you know nothing but his name? That kind of solitude is loneliness. That's what kills you."
In An Yu's ethereal Ghost Music, a woman's grip on her suffocating life loosens as she is drawn into a surreal world of secrets and ghostly experiences where her deep yearnings can finally resurface and transform her.
Thirty-year-old Song Yan has devoted the past three years to her husband, Bowen. She has also made room in her life for his disgruntled mother, who is recently widowed and now lives with them in their Beijing apartment. Although Song Yan traded her career as a concert pianist to be a dutiful wife, Bowen is more interested in his job as a BMW executive than in having children.
The disquiet between Song Yan and her mother-in-law is temporarily quelled by the mysterious weekly delivery of prized mushrooms, which the women cook together. However, Song Yan becomes increasingly frustrated with and disconnected from Bowen after she learns some information about his past. She turns her attention toward investigating who sent the mushrooms, which leads her down the proverbial rabbit hole to Bai Yu, a famous pianist who vanished a decade earlier. In the process, Song Yan rediscovers an aspect of herself that was also on the verge of disappearing.
Ghost Music, like Yu's first novel, Braised Pork, is beautifully metaphoric and insightful. Song Yan's first-person narrative reveals the full richness of her mind and senses, which have been stifled by her fear of shame and the disregard of her husband and mother-in-law. Throughout this haunting social commentary, Yu's lyrical language and atmospheric descriptions bring out the contrast between Song Yan's oppressive, superficial reality and the hypnotic world where she converses with fungi. Fans of literary novels with a supernatural edge, such as Jamie Ford's The Many Daughters of Afong Moy, take note.

The Best Cruise Lines - Borgata Online
The Best Cruise Lines
The best cruise lines offer the full package when it comes to relaxation, entertainment and value for money. Getaways on cruise ships are extremely popular nowadays, with most cruise line companies able to offer a variety of onboard experiences.
Some cruise ships offer live dealer casino games in a quieter setting, while others are full-blown oceanic resorts with water parks and amusement rides. Here are 10 of the most affordable and luxurious cruise lines, ranked by pricing and reviews.
10. Azamara Voyages
Azamara may not have the largest or most luxurious ships, but the line makes up for that with budget-friendly packages, welcoming staff and crew, and delicious food menus. Ticket offers can be as low as $120 per day, depending on your itinerary.
Azamara's four luxury cruise ships can head to over 40 possible destinations. The cruise line prides itself on offering destination-focused services, with longer stays in ports and multi-day visits. Accommodation is similar to that of a boutique hotel and each ship holds fewer than 700 people in total.
9. Silversea
Embark on a Silversea cruise and treat your tastebuds to the Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T) Lab – a world-famous culinary experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. The food depends entirely on your chosen destination, ensuring that your holiday is as authentic as possible.
Like Azamara, Silversea is a more intimate experience. Butler service in every suite, complimentary air tickets and private transfers should clue you in on the exclusive atmosphere they're going for, with the average package costing around $500 per night.
8. Regent Seven Seas
Regent Seven Seas is one of the most luxurious cruise lines in the world. As proof of that fact, the company owns the most expensive luxury liner ever built, which cost an astonishing $600 million to complete.
A Regent Seven Seas cruise can cost over $1,000 per night, which might seem expensive until you consider how inclusive the pricing is. Everything from accommodation to wifi is included in your fare, so you can kick back and play online poker to your heart's content.
7. Cunard
With over 110 destinations and a 100-night Full World Voyage, Cunard travels to all the top vacation destinations. Patrons enjoy its formal approach to cruise liner service, with a nightly dress code, white-gloved waiters and gala nights complete with ballroom dancing.
Regular rooms and private suites have different dining areas, clearly demonstrating the desire to make this experience highly exclusive. Despite the apparent opulence, Cunard cruises are mostly affordable, with reviewers stating they paid an average of $200 to $300 per night.
6. Oceania
Oceania cruises appear to be favored by wealthy retirees who seek laidback adventures. There are no loud nightclubs and you won't find any adrenaline-filled activities onboard.
Instead, you're getting a mobile relaxation resort and all the amenities that come with it.
For as little as $250 per night, you can explore over a dozen of the world's most popular holiday destinations, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Miami and Rome. Every stop in the itinerary is worth the visit, provided you can afford to enjoy the full trip.
5. Celebrity Cruises
Often described as the ocean cruise line with the best value, Celebrity Cruises manages to find the perfect balance between premium service and affordable accommodation. Each ship in Celebrity's fleet is state-of-the-art, yet a suite can cost as little as $229 per person.
Best of all, every vessel caters to all age groups, making Celebrity Cruises an excellent choice for a family holiday. There's even free wifi, so you can still play your favorite online poker games no matter where you're anchored.
4. Fred Olsen Cruises
Fred Olsen Cruises is one of the few cruise line companies where heritage and reputation come first and foremost. If you're looking for reliability combined with an easygoing atmosphere, this is the comfort cruise you've been looking for.
For the staff and crews of Fred Olsen's UK-based fleet, your satisfaction is all that matters. Prices start from $500, with trips ranging from five nights to a full month. Similarly to other affordable cruise lines, cruises are destination-focused and put comfort above opulence.
3. Princess Cruises
Princess Cruises offers an extensive range of itineraries thanks to a fleet of 15 active ships. Each cruise liner is packed with onboard activities, but you won't find flashy displays of extravagance anywhere and every amenity is a no-frills, no-fuss affair.
On average, tickets cost around $130 per person per night. Choose from the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe and many other locations, but know that the journey matters just as much as the destination when you're on a Princess cruise.
2. Ponant
Here's a cruise line company that loves to treat its guests like royalty. Stepping aboard a Ponant cruise liner is like setting foot on your own private yacht, complete with a Turkish sauna, massage rooms and an onboard spa.
The starting price for an eight-day cruise is $5,000 – $8,000 per person, which works out to an average of $800 per night. But that includes a laundry list of amenities, from branded bath oils and rare champagnes to free massages and delicate desserts.
1. Seabourn
As far as rankings go, Seabourn is consistently rated as not only one of the top cruise line companies but also the most private. Each suite on Seabourn's vessels comes with a walk-in closet and its own dining area, as well as a personal assistant.
Most cruises cost between $4,000 and $8,000, but longer trips, like a 40-day cruise to the Americas and Antarctica, can cost over $20,000 per person. You're looking at an average of around $550 per night for longer trips, which is a fair asking price for a mobile luxury resort.

KXLT-TV: Proposed bill could bring in big money to southeastern Minnesota
EXCERPT: "$25,000,000 could be coming to southeastern Minnesota. State lawmakers will introduce a bill on Thursday to potentially generate new economic growth. Both state senators and representatives from the area believe the eleven county region of southeastern Minnesota has a strong economy, but they see a few areas that could use a boost. Healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, child care and business startups are some of the key areas Senator Jeremy Miller believes his proposed revolving loan fund can help out. 'The idea would be to provide capital to cities, counties, developers, small businesses, to promote economic growth and prosperity,' said Miller, (R) Winona. The proposed bill would establish the 'Southeast Minnesota Diversification Loan Fund' or 'Southeast DLF' for short." FULLSTORY: http://bit.ly/2XDNXeZ

July 2005, Volume 59, No. 7 ›
NEW SKUs
‹ July 2005, Volume 59, No. 7
Beyond Whole Grain
Many bakery and cereal products have been reformulated with whole grains to improve their healthful image. Arnold Foods Co., Horsham, Pa., takes this tactic even further with its recent introduction of a line of 100% whole-wheat bread under the Arnold Smart & Healthy brand. The line includes four heart-healthy varieties: Fibre Goodness, Omega-3 DHA/EPA, Sugar Free, and Made With Organic Grains.
Fibre Goodness is an excellent source of fiber, with each slice delivering 4 g or twice the fiber of traditional whole-wheat bread. The other three varieties are good sources of fiber. Omega-3 DHA/EPA contains the essential fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for a healthy heart. The bread's source of omega-3 is encapsulated fish oil, which does not impart a fishy taste or odor. Sugar Free provides more options for those wanting less sugar in their diets. Made With Organic Grains qualifies for USDA's organic labeling requirement of "Made with Organic Ingredients," ensuring that the product contains at least 70% organic ingredients.
Sweetening the Package
Bulk retail bags of sugar present many challenges to consumers. The paper structure often rips and is difficult to pour and reseal, and its unstable base fosters tipping and spillage. Domino Foods, Yonkers, N.Y., has recently come out with a new plastic canister to solve these problems.
The bright yellow high-density polyethylene container holds 4 lb of sugar and features indentations that form a handle for easy gripping. A heat-sealed clear film keeps the contents fresh during distribution and storage, while a resealable plastic lid maintains product freshness in home pantries. The container's large opening enables consumers to scoop the product with standard measuring devices.
Magic Beans?
Many athletes and "weekend warriors" who consume energy drinks, gels, and/or bars now have another option to give them a boost during or after exercise. It's Sports Beans jelly beans from Jelly Belly Candy Co., Fairfield, Calif. Each 1-oz serving contains 25 g of carbohydrates, 20% of the daily value (DV) for vitamins C and E, and 120 mg of electrolytes to boost energy and prevent hydration.
"Today's active adults and teens are exercising harder than ever, and are looking for optimal performance at play and in competition," said Pete Healy, Vice President of Marketing for Jelly Belly. "We heard from marathon athletes for years about how they use jelly beans for the carbohydrates they need to sustain energy and finish a race, so we developed a fun candy with additional nutrients the body needs during exercise."
Soy Added to Yogurt
Yoplait, Boulogne, France, one of the world's largest yogurt producers, and The Solae Co., St. Louis, Mo., a global leader in the research and application of soy protein, have joined forces to introduce a new Yoplait Solae® co-branded product in France. Trade named Bioplait, the product combines the health benefits of dairy and soy proteins in a spoonable yogurt. It contains Solae brand soy protein. The product comes in three flavors (original, strawberry, and peach) and is available at major grocery retailers throughout France.
"The introduction of Bioplait addresses growing consumer demand for new healthy, nutritious, and convenient foods to add to their daily diet," said Lucien Fa, Yoplait's Chairman. Bioplait joins a growing list of more than 40 co-branded products around the globe that utilize Solae brand soy protein as a "trust mark" of great-tasting nutrition.

Network inventory can be a critical pain-point for operators. That's because inventory data is typically split across different systems, supported by different vendors. It essentially exists in silos, covering different network domains. There may be one for physical assets, one for virtual resources, and another for services – and so on.
This means that data is separated, so it's difficult for operators to truly understand what assets they have in their network and how they can interact to support the services they offer. Worse, users can't find what they need or don't have the right information they need to make decisions available, at their fingertips.
This creates considerable operational inefficiencies and compromises the ability to quickly deploy new services. This can significantly increase OPEX while reducing competitive agility – if operators can't get to market fast, they risk losing business to more agile competitors.
CROSS is different. It provides a uniquely unified view. This is achieved by creating a single model of all data, irrespective of its source. So, whether it's a physical asset, its location, a virtual resource, or a service, all are combined to present a single source of truth, available through a common interface and portal. This can be accessed by different users, each with different needs, so that they can quickly discover what they need. The CROSS approach is shown below.
Since this reduces the time spent tracking, identifying and finding inventory assets, it has a dramatic impact on OPEX. In fact, our customers typically report OPEX savings of up to 20%. Crucially, CROSS doesn't depend on accurate data to begin with. Instead, it works iteratively, allowing incremental enhancements to the dataset through time. It allows users to determine the data quality, marking it for future improvement – and enabling them to focus on finding missing resources to close gaps in the picture.

Craig Erwich: We Want to Stay With Jimmy Kimmel for Many Years
In an interview with Howard Stern, the comedian stated he wasn't sure whether to continue hosting his nightly talk show after his current contract expired.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is nearing his 20th season of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" However, in an interview with Howard Stern, the comedian stated he wasn't sure whether to continue hosting his nightly talk show after his current contract expired.
However, if it's up to ABC executives, they would like to continue their relationship with Kimmel. In an interview with Deadline, Craig Erwich, President of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals, wants to continue working with Kimmel for a long time.
"First of all, we want to stay in business with Jimmy for many, many years to come. He's the king of late-night; he's the longest-serving host of any current late-night shows," Erwich said.
"He had a really great year last year, beating Fallon in adults 18-49 for the first time ever, so as long as Jimmy wants to be on ABC, we'd love to have him."
Despite ABC wanting to hold onto Kimmel for the foreseeable future, his contract is up next summer, and if he does decide to depart, the network would need to figure out how to replace him.
Kimmel pondering a possible departure from late-night isn't the first he's considering retirement. In 2019, Kimmel admitted that he had thought about leaving; however, ABC bosses urged him to return for another three years, allowing the show to reach 20 seasons.

Hundreds of walkers, joggers and sprinters are set to lace up their running shoes this October Bank Holiday in memory of Newport toddler Evan Jones to raise money for CMRF Crumlin and national ambulance service BUMBLEance.
The Evan Jones Memorial 5km, which is now in it's second year, will honour the brave toddler who passed away in 2017 after a battle with a rare form of childhood cancer. Both charities are particularly close to the Jones family as Evan availed of the Bumbleance services while undergoing treatment in Dublin.
"Evan made such an impact on the locality and that really showed at our first event last year. We had over 1,400 participants and all the money raised went towards cancer research and St. John's Oncology Ward in Crumlin which was very important to us," Evan's dad Paddy Jones tells the Tipperary Star.
The run is open to all age groups and participants are welcome to jog, walk, sprint or stroll their way around the 5km loop before heading back to the village community centre for a delicious BBQ and refreshments and the all important kids disco.
Participants are also encouraged to don their best fancy dress with prizes for the best dressed family, teen, adult and child awarded on the day. There will also be a special category for the best dressed "Bee" costume in honour of the Children's National Ambulance Service' Bumbleance who will have one of their vehicles on hand at the event.
A host of fantastic raffle prizes are also up for grabs on the day including a stay in the five star Fitzwilliam Hotel Dublin with dinner in Glovers Alley Restaurant, 500 litres of home heating oil, a Nespresso Coffee Machine, a €300 voucher for Dromoland Castle, Afternoon Tea in Dromoland, a €250 voucher for the Trump Hotel in Doonbeg and an overnight stay and evening meal at the Five Star Europe Hotel in Killarney.
The Evan Jones Memorial Fun Run/ Walk will take place from Newport Community Centre on Bank Holiday Monday 29th October. Registration opens at 11am and the run kicks off at 12pm.
Entertainment will start from 11.30am with a host of special guest appearances by Paw Patrol characters as well as members of the U21 Tipperary hurling panel as well as members of Limerick's All Ireland winning team and the Liam McCarthy Cup.
Entry is €10 for adults and €5 for teenagers while kids under 12 are free.

New Democrats release gay agenda for Pride season
Members of the NDP LGBTQ Caucus presented a package of initiatives today to help bring about full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Canadians.
"There is still much unfinished business when it comes to achieving full equality for the LGBTQ community in Canada," said LGBTQ critic for the Official Opposition Randall Garrison (Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca). "That's why New Democrats are putting forward a package of measures aimed at bringing about full equality for the LGBTQ community now."
"If we are to build a more inclusive Canada it is necessary to acknowledge the harmful history of homophobia and transphobia in Canada," said Deputy Leader Libby Davies (Vancouver East). "We can begin by recognizing the harm that was done when Canada unfairly fired public servants or discharged members of the Canadian Forces solely on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."
"Many subtle and not so subtle discriminatory policies and practices remain in place in Canada," said MP Craig Scott (Toronto Danforth). "It is past time to end discriminatory practices like the ban on blood and organ donations by gay men and past time to remove the unequal age of consent for anal sex from Canadian law."
The package of measures the NDP has introduced in the House includes:
· Bill C-279, which would guarantee equal rights for transgender and gender variant Canadians
· Motion M-516, which calls for an end to discriminatory policies on blood and organ donation from gay men
· Bill C-600, which would suspend criminal records for gay offences which are no longer illegal
· Bill C-448, which would equalize the age of consent for all by repealing the unconstitutional section 159 from the Criminal Code
· Motion M-517, which would revise service records for those discharged from the Canadian Forces on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity
· Motion M-521, which would secure an apology for civil servants fired on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity

This procedure is used to remove both benign and malignant skin growths. Excisional surgery can be performed to remove some skin cancers. Following the procedure, the specimen is examined by a dermatopathologist under a microscope to ensure that the growth has been removed completely. Excisional surgery is also used to remove benign growths, such as atypical moles and cysts. It is typically performed under local anesthesia, in our office.
Most procedures take approximately 30 minutes to complete. After numbing the area and cleansing the site with a surgical disinfectant, our staff will painlessly remove the growth. The area is then re-constructed using sutures (stitches). Most stitches stay in place for 1-2 weeks. Of course, every patient and procedure is different. We will explain each procedure to you in detail before it is performed. Most patients can return to work and their daily activities the same day.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced procedure for the precise removal of skin cancer, is performed in our office. There are a number highly effective options to treat skin cancers, including excision and suturing, curettage and electrodessication (scraping and burning), cryosurgery, radiation therapy, photodynamic therapy, and Mohs Surgery. With careful examination and a thorough exploration of your options, we will customize a plan to help you successfully control or remedy your problem.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is primarily used to treat some basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. It allows the physician to see beyond the visible disease, to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, layer by layer, while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact and unharmed. As the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, it minimizes the chance of re-growth and lessens the potential for extensive scarring or disfigurement.
Because the physician is specially trained in surgery, pathology, and reconstruction, Mohs surgery has the highest success rate of all treatments for skin cancer - up to 99 percent. The Mohs technique is also the treatment of choice for cancers of the face and other sensitive areas as it relies on the accuracy of a microscopically-controlled surgical procedure to trace the edges of the cancer and ensure complete removal of tumors, down to the roots, during the initial surgery.
After the tumor has been completely removed, your physician will discuss closure options with you to reconstruct the wound. Most wounds are closed with sutures (stitches). Most small wounds can be closed with a side-by-side closure (linear closure with stitches). Some larger wounds require a skin flap where skin adjacent to the wound is "borrowed," or a skin graft. Some wounds heal best by spontaneous granulation, where the wound is allowed to heal naturally. Every case is different and will be discussed with you in detail.

Q: Improving pandas statistics-finding with large csv dataset (~4,000,000 entries) I am trying to write a Tic-Tac-Toe Bot that analyzes its chances of winning using a CSV files of past games. My problem exists in how slowly the code runs the following: (number of past games that match the current game and are wins)/(number of past games that match the current game). Is there a faster way of generating this percentage within the pandas module, or at all?
The CSV file is formatted: game, outcome and has about 4,000,000 entries, which is likely slowing it down, so I wonder if there is a better approach?
The problem code:
data = pd.read_csv("Result_data.csv", dtype={"game":"object","outcome":"object"})
def chances(path):
    global data
    return round(data[(data.game.str.startswith(path))&(data.outcome == "W")].shape[0]
                 /data[data.game.str.startswith(path)].shape[0],4) * 100

path is a string between 1 and 9 characters long and represents the prefix of (presumably multiple) entries in the game column of the data set. Please comment below if you need more information!

Q: How to get JLabel to dynamically resize within JFrame? I'm relatively new to Java, so I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I need to somehow get my JLabel to dynamically resize with my JFrame. It might be something as simple as a single line of code I'm missing, but frankly, I don't have the experience needed to solve this for myself.
I tried googling and browsing through other Stack posts, but they were either generally unhelpful or tried to get me to do something like
class ImagePanel extends JPanel

or something along those lines --> which I can't do because I'm already extending my code with something else.
Hopefully I'm phrasing my question correctly as well...
Just in case, to clarify, I need my image to automatically resize itself as I resize the frame around it.
My code is below:
public static void ScalingImage() throws IOException
    {
        MyCollage GP = new MyCollage();
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("myCollage_Final.jpg"));
        JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
        JFrame aFrame = new JFrame();
        int picwidth = (int)Math.round(aFrame.getWidth());
        int picheight = (int)Math.round(aFrame.getHeight());
        aFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        aFrame.getContentPane().add(label);
        aFrame.pack();
        aFrame.setSize(2000, 2000);
        aFrame.add(GP);
        aFrame.setLocation(0, 0);
        aFrame.setVisible(true);
    }

So, if it's something obvious I'm missing, I'd love to know what it is. And if it's something not-so-obvious, then... I'd still love to know what it is haha.

A: You can use the Stretch Icon.
The image will automatically be resized to fill the label. You can control whether the image is scaled proportionally or completely fills the area.
Using the StretchIcon is more flexible than doing custom painting as suggested in the other links as you can benefit from the automatic resizing on any component that supports an Icon.

A: "which I can't do because I'm already extending my code with something else."
You don't "extend code with"... you extend JPanel from a particular class. So it's perfectly possible to have one class which extends JPanel, and another class which continues to extend what you are already extending.
Alternatively, it may not actually be necessary to use inheritance to satisfy your other needs.
Also, the code you've posted isn't stylistically-correct Java, and doesn't exhibit any inheritance, which suggests to me that you've misunderstood something.

El Once Caldas Femenino es un club de fútbol femenino colombiano localizado en la ciudad de Manizales, capital del departamento de Caldas que milita en la Liga Profesional Femenina de Fútbol de Colombia, máxima competición futbolística en Colombia. Corresponde a la sección femenina del Once Caldas, club campeón de la Copa Libertadores.

Historia

La idea del Once Caldas de establecer un equipo de fútbol femenino se da durante el segundo semestre de 2018  debido a que la Conmebol exige que cualquier equipo que vaya a participar de sus competencias de clubes (Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa Sudamericana), debe tener un plantel femenino; y aunque se realizaron veedurias para seleccionar a las jugadoras que harían parte de este primer plantel, además de firmar un convenio con el equipo Talentos Caldas para surtir de jugadoras al club, la falta de voluntad para organizar el equipo, además de la incertidumbre sobre la realización del campeonato de liga de 2019 hicieron que este proceso inicial no llegara a buen puerto.

Para julio de 2019, cumpliendo la norma establecida por Conmebol ya que Once Caldas había participado de la Copa Sudamericana 2019 (Aunque la norma no se hizo cumplir, Rionegro Águilas no presentó equipo femenino) y a menos de un mes del inicio de la competencia luego de confirmarse su realización, presentaron un plantel conformado en su mayoría por jugadoras de equipos aficionados de Caldas como Talentos Caldas y Manizales Soccer Club, y algunos refuerzos que ya habían participado en anteriores ediciones de la liga a cargo de DT Julio Cesar Ocampo, se enfrentaron a este nuevo reto con poca preparación jugando solamente contra el plantel masculino Sub-20 del conjunto albo.

Para el campeonato de liga quedaron ubicadas en el Grupo A junto a Atlético Nacional, Independiente Medellín y Deportivo Pereira siendo derrotadas en los seis encuentros que jugaron y anotando un solo gol (Realmente se trató de un autogol frente a Nacional) por lo que quedaron en la última posición de la tabla general del campeonato.

Luego de este mal inicio en la liga colombiana, continuaron trabajando y entre noviembre y diciembre de ese año participaron del torneo de la Liga Caldense de Fútbol en el festejo de sus 50 años. En esta competencia lograron alzarse con el título de campeonas venciendo a Bilbao FC en la final por un marcador de 3 a 0, y habiendo dejado atrás a clubes de mayor tradición como Formas Intimas.

Año 2020

El club siguió preparándose a la espera de la realización de la edición 2020 del campeonato colombiano participando en el IV Torneo Nacional de Fútbol Femenino "Copa Aguardiente Cristal XS" en el marco de la Feria de Manizales, obteniendo el título luego de enfrentarse nuevamente en una final al Bilbao FC a quien venció en esta ocasión por un marcador de 3 a 2.

A mediados del mes de febrero de 2020 y luego de una pausa de más de un mes por parte del plantel, y luego de haberse confirmado la organización de la Liga Femenina Versión 2020, el equipo se concentra nuevamente a cargo de quien fuera el Asistente técnico Oscar Upegui para afrontar este nuevo reto. En esta oportunidad habían quedado ubicadas en el Grupo A del torneo enfrentando a Atlético Nacional, Deportivo Independiente Medellín, Atlético Bucaramanga, Junior y Real San Andrés. Sin embargo, debido a la emergencia sanitaria decretada en el país a causa de la propagación del virus COVID-19, además de la falta de patrocinadores, llevó a la dirigencia del club albo a no reanudar la preparación del equipo por lo que el club finalmente no se presentó para la realización del campeonato.

Año 2021

Para el año 2021 y a pesar de la disposición de jugadoras aficionadas caldenses además del clamor de prensa e hinchas, el club no presentó plantel para el campeonato 2021; por lo que el fútbol femenino permanece descontinuado en el Once Caldas.

WDC to continue advocating for the strengthening of the scope of Kimberley Process
22.11.2019: WDC President Stephane Fischler addressing the Closing Session of the 2019 Kimberley Process Plenary Meeting in New Delhi, India, on November 22.
WDC President Stephane Fischler addressing the Closing Session of the 2019 Kimberley Process Plenary Meeting in New Delhi, India, on November 22.
Despite progress made with capacity-building programs for the artisanal mining sector and KP's approach to Central African Republic exports, the WDC will continue to advocate for the strengthening of the scope of the Kimberley Process, following the inability to achieve consensus at the KP Plenary.
The World Diamond Council (WDC) reiterated its commitment to continuing to advocate for change after government representatives failed to reach consensus on a strengthened scope for the Kimberley Process (KP) during the 2019 KP Plenary in the Indian capital.
"While the KPCS continues to fulfil an important function, the failure of the political process to achieve consensus was a missed opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of this foundation stone of integrity in the diamond business. The KPCS has been an absolutely critical element in maintaining peace in producing countries through increased traceability of rough diamond trade, and we must redouble our efforts to strengthen its impact," said WDC President Stephane Fischler.
"About 95 percent of the rough diamonds produced by value are mined by a handful of large industrialized mining companies, almost all of which have implemented compliance systems that go beyond the scope of the KPCS. These all require observance of the WDC's System of Warranties (SoW), which was expanded in 2018."
As recognized in the KP core document, the SoW is designed to facilitate full traceability of diamond transactions by government authorities. This is achieved by requiring all B2B sellers of rough diamonds, polished diamonds and jewelry containing diamonds to include a statement on the invoice or memo document that the goods being sold are in compliance with the KPCS.
Importantly, the updated SoW, which also was endorsed by this session of the KP, moves significantly beyond the KPCS, by including a commitment by companies to adhere to WDC Guidelines, which expressly reference international conventions relating to human and labor rights, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering (AML).
"While we advocated hard to strengthen the scope of the KP, we simultaneously strengthened the SoW, which is a powerful tool that is already applied by industry, to ensure consumer confidence both within the KP and independently," said Mr. Fischler.
During the meeting in New Delhi, following a proposal by the US delegation, the KP Plenary agreed to restructure the operational framework system created for the Central African Republic, while maintaining the current strict monitoring of exports.
"We support the objectives of this change in policy," said Mr. Fischler, "which is to encourage an increase in legal exports from CAR, as well as improve the efficiency of the system. As this process will shift some of the burden of verifying the provenance of the goods to the importers in the trading centers, we will soon be issuing guidance in this respect for the industry."
The WDC expressed its support for new KP-related community development projects reported on during the Plenary Meeting. It noted that they are excellent examples of the organization's capacity to expand beyond its original mandate as mainly a preventative mechanism, to also being a facilitator of reconstruction and renewal in countries that were or still are afflicted by conflict.
One such project is the EU and German-funded "Mano River Union (MRU)," which supports KPCS implementation in Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, preventing cross-border smuggling as well as capacity building in artisanal mining communities. The same regional approach is currently being considered for countries in Central Africa. Another is USAID's "Artisanal Mining and Property Rights (AMPR)" project, which addresses development challenges in the ASM sector in the Central African Republic, while improving compliance with KPCS requirements.
"These innovative national or regional programs complement a growing number of grass-roots capacity-building being carried out by industry, including WDC member companies and organizations," said Mr. Fischler. "The KP should not only be judged by what it prevents, but also by what it is able to facilitate. Peace-making and nation-building are both part of its legacy, and it is vital that it uses all avenues at its disposal to achieve these goals."

Federal Government Approves Flights Resumption For Air France, Lufthansa, KLM and Qatar Airways
By The Nigeria Voice
Air France, Lufthansa, KLM and Qatar Airways have received approval to resume international flight operations in the country.
This was confirmed in a tweet on Tuesday by Hadi Sirika, the Minister of Aviation.
the Federal Government, in March, shut down all airports to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country.
Domestic flights later resumed in all airports in July while international flights resumed at the Lagos and Abuja airports in September.
Yet, the government restricted 10 airlines from operating in the country when international flight resumed on September 5.
At the time, Sirika said Air France and KLM airlines were not granted approval for flight operations because "tourist visa holders are not allowed entry" in the airlines' originating countries.
However, Sirika, on Tuesday, said the aviation ministry is working with the health ministry, Coalition against COVID-19 (CACOVID) and the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 to ensure that the three other airports are opened.
He tweeted: "We are working with ministry of health, CACOVID & the PTF to open Kano, Port Harcourt & possibly Enugu airports before the end of the year. Also Lufthansa, Air France/KLM has been given go-ahead to resume. Qatar Airways is approved to start Abuja. Thank you for your patience."

Chain Reaction: How Cocktail Bars Are Branching Out to New Cities
Death & Co Denver's main bar is located in the lobby at the Ramble Hotel.
Just as the third wave coffee movement saw companies like Stumptown, Intelligentsia and Verve expand their footprints across the country and the globe, the evolution of the cocktail renaissance has some of America's most acclaimed bars following suit. New York's original speakeasy-style bar, PDT, has an offshoot in Hong Kong. The Aviary brought its famously elaborate cocktails from Chicago to New York, while Employees Only went from New York to L.A. and Singapore. Meanwhile, Broken Shaker, which started as a Miami pop-up, followed the Freehand hotel expansion to New York, Chicago and L.A.; and New York's Dead Rabbit will open a spot this year in New Orleans, while co-owner Jack McGarry recently told Drinks International they were aiming for 10 new locations in the next 10 years. The list goes on.
Highlighting this trend in our 2020 Imbibe 75 Issue, we spoke with some of the folks behind these expansions to explore the challenges and benefits of building a brand beyond where it originates. Notable industry names like Mother's Ruin, Billy Sunday and Death & Co all recently opened, or are about to open, additional locations in new cities. "I always felt there was the potential to tell more of the Death & Co story beyond the four walls in the East Village," says David Kaplan, founder and co-owner of Death & Co. The bar's original location in Manhattan opened more than a decade ago and soon became a pillar of the local and national cocktail scene, with notable bartenders creating modern classics behind the bar, such as Phil Ward and his Oaxacan Old Fashioned.
In the summer of 2018, Death & Co Denver opened in the boutique Ramble Hotel in the city's River North neighborhood, and the third and newest location in downtown L.A.'s Arts District kicked off 2020 with a grand opening on New Year's Eve. "We work to have each location reflect the city and neighborhood while pulling certain design elements through from the New York location," says Kaplan. "Our service style is very much the same at each location, but even there we have some variation as Denver has multiple outlets under one roof and L.A. will as well. And while the menu has a similar feel at each location, the offerings—from the beer, wine and cocktails to the food—are unique to each spot."
Chicago bar Billy Sunday, which was already hyped as one of the country's best before it even opened in the Logan Square neighborhood in early 2013, will likewise be bringing its signature style—and lauded vintage spirits program—into a new concept when it opens in Optimist Hall in Charlotte, North Carolina, in early 2020. Within the food hall there will be a proper Billy Sunday, as well as a new spot from the team called The Spindle Bar. "We'll weave in notes of the neighborhood and place that will give Billy Sunday a southern flavor while maintaining its signature craft and quality," says owner Matthias Merges.
Merges notes that the growth and popularity of the industry as a whole is bolstering interest in new locations, even in smaller markets. "The cocktail culture revival has really been incredible over the past 10 years, giving rise to a whole generation of excellent barkeeps and spirit producers," says Merges. "More and more we see our guests being aware and knowledgeable about cocktails and cocktail culture, taking deep dives, asking smart questions and expecting a higher-quality experience on all fronts."
At Mother's Ruin, the casual cocktail bar opened by T.J. Lynch and Richard Knapp in Manhattan in 2011, that experience is all about high-quality drinks paired with a laid-back vibe. Lynch now aims to translate that approach with two new locations in Chicago and Nashville. "The majority of what we do will be the same at all locations—it's good drinks, a great staff, tasty food and slushy machines," says Lynch. "We have a pretty basic concept that I think is malleable to lots of different markets because we don't do anything too fancy or specific or hard to reproduce. We're more of a staff-based concept, and the quality of our staff is going to make it happen."
As long as customers are looking for a good drink, expect to see cocktail bars continue to follow in the footsteps of other hospitality players like coffee shops, breweries and restaurants. "The challenge of creating something that stays unique, compelling and interesting while growing to a national stage is incredibly exciting," says Kaplan. "Many have done it in other areas of hospitality, but we're just now starting to see it in the cocktail space, and we're all approaching it a little differently. It feels like we're charting new territory."

Sufferings In Africa by James Riley
Sufferings In Africa
Listed by Abraham Lincoln, alongside the Bible and Pilgrims Progress, as one of the books that most influenced his life, few true tales of adventure and survival are as astonishing as this one. Shipwrecked off the western coast of North Africa inMoreListed by Abraham Lincoln, alongside the Bible and Pilgrims Progress, as one of the books that most influenced his life, few true tales of adventure and survival are as astonishing as this one. Shipwrecked off the western coast of North Africa in August of 1815, James Riley and his crew had no idea of the trials awaiting them as they gathered their beached belongings. They would be captured by a band of nomadic Arabs, herded across the Sahara Desert, beaten, forced to witness astounding brutalities, sold into slavery, and starved. Riley watched most of his crew die one by one, killed off by cruelty or caprice, as his own weight dropped from 240 pounds to a mere 90 at his rescue. First published in 1817, this dramatic saga soon became a national bestseller with over a million copies sold. Even today, it is rare to find a narrative that illuminates the degradations of slave existence with such brutal honesty. Sufferings In Africa by James Riley

I'm currently making a droplist but in the droplist let's say I only want to include only .txt extension files so any other extensions like .php .jpg or any other extensions will not be in in the droplist. How can I do that as simple as possible?
Another question is I want to make a warning IF the folder does not have any .txt extension files an error message will show. So even if there are other .jpg .php or any other files inside as long as there's no .txt file in the folder a warning will show.
This is what I have done but it only shows a drop-list with no .txt at the end but it will still show other random files in the drop-list though.
This is what happens for the script that I have now if the folder does not have any txt files.
Finally, after the foreach check the value of $hasTxt and use it as you prefer.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged php file or ask your own question.

A wry, somewhat light hearted, but certainly not lightweight stroll through the history of Britain, Bognor and Other Regises; a Potted History of Britain in 100 Royal Places takes us from King Arthur to the present day by way of English and British monarchs, anchoring each to a specific site or property as it goes.
A wry, somewhat light-hearted, but certainly not lightweight stroll through the history of Britain, Bognor and Other Regises; a Potted History of Britain in 100 Royal Places takes us from King Arthur to the present day by way of English and British monarchs, anchoring each to a specific site or property as it goes.
Replete with sufficient depth to hold the reader's interest, Caroline Taggart's whistle stop tour of British history features unfamiliar facts that lift this book from being just another history of these sceptred isles. Visiting places with historic royal connections, whether real, legendary or mythic, this is certainly not an exhaustive history of British monarchs. Each chapter looks at a variety of sites, be they castle, palace, great house, battlefield, religious building, seat of learning, tree or even racecourse; exploring its chosen venue through their connection with their respective monarch. It is an ideal companion for anyone travelling through the historic sites of England.
The story is not limited to the venue of each chapter heading, we often glimpse other properties either nearby or associated with the royal featured in a particular chapter. The reader certainly gets more than the 100 royal sites of the book's title. Chapters frequently end with a note instructing the reader how and where to find more information on the character or property that is the subject of that particular chapter, including other associated sites to visit.
Bognor and Other Regises is imaginatively illuminated by charming illustrations which give even more depth to the people and places playing out their history across the pages. Box text inserts, containing information about historical supporting actors, provide additional colour to the main. These asides also provide extra background to the sites and properties described in the main narrative. For example, the best time to visit Canterbury Cathedral is on the anniversary of Thomas Á Becket's murder, or that each July Tewkesbury Abbey holds its annual Mediaeval Festival which includes a re-enactment of the famous battle and "barber surgeons, preachers and even the odd dragon keeper".
The author's treatment of the Arthurian legend is refreshingly neutral, lacking both the mawkish romanticism of the myth's adherents and the disdain of the cynics. Other divisive narratives, such as Richard III's treatment of his nephews in the Tower of London, are treated with pragmatic common sense, laying out the available information from all sides.
Engaging, accessible and amusing, but not so crammed with jokes as to detract from the matter in hand, this book is packed with entertaining information that could happily be shared with travelling companions. Although Bognor and Other Regises revisits ground familiar to anyone with even a passing acquaintance with British history, it does so with a fresh perspective and more than a hint of very British, dry humour.

Expanding the YA spectrum to include older main characters and college experiences can be super beneficial to readers.
Not only teens read YA. Also, personal growth and education doesn't stop by merely applying for college.
This 1000%. This age is such a pivotal, complicated, transformative time and as a college reader I desperately wanted (and still want!) more books that capture that #MSWL.

UAE rental rates to slip further this year, Cluttons says
The property consultant forecasts average rents to drop 5 per cent but VAT will spur growth by the end of next year
Cluttons forecast property prices to drop further this year, but the VAT introduction will help the market rebound. Satish Kumar / The National
The UAE property market will dip further this year as low oil prices pressure economic growth, according to the UK consultancy Cluttons.
However, the introduction of value added tax (VAT) will help the market rebound with greater purchasing power next year, it said.
The London-based property consultant said there were a number of positive indicators for the country's property market heading into the end of the year.
"We view the government's plan to introduce a formal tax regime as a tremendously positive step and are confident that it will help cement much-needed alternative revenue streams," said Faisal Durrani, the research head at Cluttons.
Goods and services will be subject to VAT at a standard rate of 5 per cent from January next year, implemented across the GCC by 2019. The tax will generate a new revenue stream while boosting long-term growth. Sultan Al Mansoori, the UAE Economy Minister, estimates that VAT will add Dh12 billion next year alone in the UAE and Dh20bn in 2019.
This economic expansion as a result of higher spending levels, creating stability and marginal growth in some property segments by the end of next year.
VAT is part of efforts to diversify away from hydrocarbon-based economies in the region, with Abu Dhabi feeling significant pressure from the low oil price environment as investment in residential areas dropped 0.9 per cent in the first half of the year. The market declined by 6.3 per cent in the 12 months ending in June, with residential values standing at just over Dh1,150 per square foot.
The saving grace for the emirate's property market has been in the industrial sector, where rents have held steady for the past nine months.
Dubai prime office rents forecast to increase amid limited supply, report says
"Looking ahead, while stability in rents is expected this year, should the economic weakness persist into 2018, headline rents are likely to begin dipping slightly," Mr Durrani said.

When VAT is enacted, corporations will be liable for the 5 per cent tax based on their annual lease rates. Mr Durrani said that may upset the stability that the Dubai market has enjoyed recently, particularly in more secondary locations.
The emirate is placing hope on the economic boost of Expo 2020 after Dubai's residential investment dipped by an average of 1.5 per cent for the 12th consecutive quarter. Rents are expected, on average, to end the year at 7 per cent lower while villas drop 10 per cent. Cluttons said a soft correction appears to be coming to a close.
Dubai rental and home prices ease during the second quarter, Asteco says
The UAE's third-largest emirate, Sharjah, has always played to its proximity to Dubai by offering cheaper rates than the neighbouring emirate. This has led to a turnaround for villa demand in Sharjah given the rising cost of living. The market is expected to outperform with a growth of up to 4 per cent, but it is not enough to offset the apartment rental rates that are forecast to end the year 10 per cent lower than last year.
"Once the market absorbs the changes caused by the introduction of VAT, we expect to see a resumption in growth," Mr Durrani said.
