VISTAS: 39th Annual Conference of the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association Philadelphia, March 15-18, 2018 Keynote: Elizabeth Milroy (Drexel University)
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the NCSA committee invites proposals that explore the notion of the vista in the nineteenth century. From personal gardens to public parks, from the street level to the top of a skyscraper, or from the microscope to the panoramic photograph, the nineteenth century was a moment when the idea of the vista changed from a narrow sightline to a sweeping, expansive view. How did theorists alter our historical perspective, broadening our notion of the world through science or religion? In what ways did power systems affect urban vantage points? How did man-made vistas reflect socio-cultural ideals? How did domestic spaces or nightlife transform with the widespread use of gas or electric lighting? How does the conceptual vista operate metaphorically? Topics might include horticulture, landscapes and seascapes, new technology, photography, sightseeing, film and the theater, urban planning, visions and dreamscapes, shifting perceptions of the gaze, or literary or artistic descriptions or depictions of viewpoints. In contrast, papers may consider the absence of vistas, such as mental or physical confinement or elements that obfuscate a view.
Please send 250-word abstracts with one-page CVs to ncsaphila2018@gmail.com by September 30th, 2017. Abstracts should include the author's name, institutional affiliation, and paper title in the heading. We welcome individual proposals and panel proposals with four presenters and a moderator. Note that submission of a proposal constitutes a commitment to attend if accepted. Presenters will be notified in November 2017. We encourage submissions from graduate students, and those whose proposals have been accepted may submit complete papers to apply for a travel grant to help cover transportation and lodging expenses. Scholars who reside outside of North America and whose proposals have been accepted may submit a full paper to be considered for the International Scholar Travel Grant (see the NCSA website for additional requirements: http://www.ncsaweb.net).
CFPs: Curiosity and Desire in Fin-de-Siècle Art and Literature
WILLIAM ANDREWS CLARK MEMORIAL LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES
"Curiosity, and the desire of beauty, have each their place in art, as in all true criticism. When one's curiosity is deficient, when one is not eager enough for new impressions and new pleasures, one is liable to value mere academical properties too highly, to be satisfied with worn-out or conventional types."
Walter Pater
"What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless. By its curiosity Sin increases the experience of the race. Through its intensified assertion of
individualism it saves us from monotony of type. In its rejection of the current notions about morality, it is one with the higher ethics."
Victorian theorists of aesthetics such as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde saw curiosity and
desire working in tandem in the creation of beauty. And while these two quotations reflect
the dissidence across interpretations of aestheticism at the time, they are united in their
emphasis on passionate engagement and creativity as necessary elements of academic
scholarship itself. We wish to capture this spirited energy by bringing together scholars
from around the world to explore the ways in which the fusion of curiosity and desire
permeated the art and literature of the British fin de siècle.
This two-day conference is jointly organized by the International Walter Pater Society and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, worldrenowned for its holdings of rare and manuscript materials from the period, notably Oscar Wilde, George Egerton, Alfred Douglas, Charles Ricketts, Aubrey Beardsley, Max Beerbohm, and the fine presses of the fin de siècle. The conference will include workshops in which groups of scholars will carry on exploratory discussions that relate to the Clark's extensive fin-de siècle collections. We welcome proposals for either conference papers or workshop contributions.
Conference papers will be twenty minutes in length and should address the conference theme in relation to works by Pater, Wilde, or other figures from this period. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches, linking literature to the visual arts, music, performance, or science, as well as exploring the international dimension of the British fin de siècle. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
• Critical methods and the critics' desires
• Desire and the senses
• Scientific and literary curiosity
• Tastes and taxonomies
• Empiricism and its discontents
• Textual and material objects
• The bizarre and the grotesque
• Curiosity and the archive
• The collection and the fetish
• Ekphrastic practice
• Different desires
Workshop contributions will consist of pre-circulated papers (circa 2,000 words), which speakers will introduce in five-minute presentations on the day. They should address one of the following three themes:
• Aestheticism, curiosity, and desire
• British aestheticism and French culture
• The aesthetic book: fin-de-siècle printing and publishing
Proposals (300 words) for either papers or workshop contributions should be sent to IWPSClark2018@gmail.com no later than 1 October 2017.
Conference Organizers: Joseph Bristow, Dennis Denisoff, Stefano Evangelista, and Charlotte Ribeyrol. The conference is cosponsored by the International Walter Pater Society, the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies, and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library.
RSVP conference 'Crossing Borders' deadline approaching
Proposals for the above Conference on the theme of 'Crossing Borders' should be submitted by January 31st. The conference web site site can be found at rs4vp2017@gmail.com A number of bursaries for graduate students and independent scholars are available. See http://rs4vp.org/ for more details.

CFP: Form and Reform
27-29 July 2017, UC Santa Cruz
A conference on nineteenth-century literature, art, and history to be held at UC Santa Cruz, preceding the Dickens Universe week on Middlemarch. Keynote speakers will be Caroline Arscott (The Courtauld Institute of Art) and Ian Duncan (University of California, Berkeley).
Applicants to this conference are warmly invited – but are not required – to stay for the week on Middlemarch (see below).
All genres of Victorian literature addressed the major questions of social and political reform that characterized the period, as did many art and craft practices, genres of history writing or scholarship, and forms of popular culture. This conference will give us an opportunity to think about the "form" of reform. Current debates about form and formalism in Victorian Studies open the door to this dimension of the word "reform," and they urge us to re-consider their relation. We also invite historical papers on nineteenth-century reform movements. Ideally, such a broad topic should also suggest meta-critical questions about the period – and periodization: questions addressing the formal dimensions of conceiving our objects of study. If we can make the distinction between historicist criticism and formalist criticism, how can these engage and challenge each other afresh?
Submit a 500-word proposal and a 1-page CV to Carolyn Williams no later than December 15, 2016 (carolyn.williams@rutgers.edu). The conference program will be announced in January, 2017. Please address inquiries to Carolyn Williams or to Rae Greiner (drgreine@indiana.edu), Tricia Lootens (tlootens@uga.edu), or Elsie Michie (enmich@lsu.edu)
Topics might include:
• Historicism as form
• Form as engagement with history
• Form and genre
• The history of forms
• Forms of history
• Spatial or temporal form
• Form and politics
• Medical reform
• Sanitary reform
• Military reform
• Religious reform
• Educational Reform
• Prison reform
• Civil Service reform
• Abolition movements
• Working class perceptions of the Reform Bills
• Race and reform
• Reform and the Woman Question
• Chartism and Chartist writing
• Intersections between kinds of reform (social and literary e.g.)
• Formal properties of reform rhetoric
• Reform of the self
• Queer reform movements
• Form and realist fiction
• Poetic forms, forms of poetics
• Musical forms
• Theatrical forms
• Visual forms
• Form as mess rather than order
• Reformulations of "Victorian Studies"
• Revitalizing critical methods
• Past and present forms of academic labor
• Current reform in our professional field
• Current reforms of the University
Participants in the conference are also cordially invited to spend the week following the conference in the redwoods of central California at the annual gathering of the Dickens Universe, an international research group devoted to the study of the novels of Charles Dickens, Victorian literature and culture. The Dickens Universe's study of Middlemarch begins on July 30 and concludes on August 5. Confirmed speakers for the week include Dan Bivona, Jill Galvan, David Kurnick, Jos Lavery, George Levine, Ruth Livesey, Helena Michie, and Summer Star. Other speakers will be announced.
Conference participants who wish to stay on for the week will have the opportunity either to meet in a working group organized around the theme of "Form and Reform," or to meet with the Nineteenth-Century Seminar, a working group for discussion of individual work-in-progress. In other words, all scholars may use the week as an opportunity for extended discussion and scholarly exchange. For more information about the Dickens Universe, as well as the Nineteenth-Century Seminar and other working groups, please feel free to consult the Dickens Project website (http://dickens.ucsc.edu/universe/) or contact one of the conference organizers.
For the purposes of planning the working groups, please indicate on your proposal if you are interested in staying on for the week of the Dickens Universe to participate in one of the working groups.


Longridge paddlers competed in the annual Thameside II race on Sunday. The results are shown here.
The race was mired in controversy over the disqualification of almost the entire field. I feel that the only paddlers that can offer valid criticism are those that have organised races themselves. Trying to stop a race that has jumped the start is like trying to ask a herd of wilder beast in full flight. We can improve things though; paddlers, club organisers and the MRC need to ensure the current rules are observed.
Longridge paddlers raced really well. Especially Magnus covering the 18 mile course in two hours. Looking through the results there are some very good performances.

Flat Sawing (slab sawing), Core Drilling, Concrete Breaking & Removal, Concrete Handsawing, Inside or Outside Saw cutting, Commercial and Residential Concrete Cutting.
Our seasoned and trained operators know how to make their saws "hum" to get the optimal cutting power and speed for any job. Jobs like concrete slabs, block walls, sidewalks, curbing, parking lots, solid concrete walls, footings, foundations and driveways are projects we are very familiar with.
Sometimes called Coring, drilling into concrete takes longer than other forms of concrete cutting. Using diamond-tipped coring bits, most holes are cut at 2" to 12" in diameter, and can go as wide as 32" for larger projects. Coring depth is also variable and removing the concrete core safely is a part of the process of proper coring. Be sure to have the concrete radared (GPR) if you have a high rise or suspect post tension cabling in the slab. All of our concrete cutting trucks carry the basic coring bits on board and can handle most standard hole sizes.

Q: How to load symbols for 'arrow.dll' when using RDotNet? I'm currently using RDotNet to try and read a parquet file into json like this:
StartupParameter rinit = new StartupParameter();
rinit.Quiet = true;
rinit.RHome = "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3";
rinit.Interactive = true;
REngine.SetEnvironmentVariables();

string json = String.Empty;

using (var engine = REngine.GetInstance("C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/bin/i386/R.dll", true, rinit))
{
    json = engine.Evaluate("json <- rjson::toJSON(arrow::read_parquet('C:/temp/myFile'))").AsCharacter()[0];
}

However, most of the time (yes, it's worked a few times) I get the error:

"Symbol file not loaded. No symbol file loaded for arrow.dll"

How can I make sure it consistently loads the symbols?

A: Turns out I hadn't installed the arrow package through R.

Simeon recognized Him as the "LIGHT OF NATIONS", that is why the faithful are invited to bring candles that can be lit in their homes, as the presence of light signifies Christ who comes to enlighten our lives. This celebration is also known as "CANDLEMASS".
On that day, it is customary to bring images to the Church of the Child Jesus dressed as a King, that are taken from the Christmas Nativity, to be blessed. We also bless the true image of Jesus in the children.
After the 7:00 PM Mass, the ones who found the doll in the Kings Cake on Epiphany, will invite us to eat tamales.

Regimental funeral held for young Nova Scotia firefighter killed during training
Health & Safety Human Resources firefighter nova scotia Training/Professional Development workplace fatality
TRURO, N.S. – Thousands of firefighters marched through the streets of Truro, N.S., on Saturday as part of a regimental funeral for a young firefighter who died in a training accident.
Skyler Blackie had been a member of the town's fire service for more than five and a half years.
A large funeral procession was led by a pipe band that made its way to the Colchester Legion Stadium, which can hold more than 2,000 people.
The 28-year-old was injured on March 9 while training at the Nova Scotia Firefighters School in Waverley, N.S.
The province's Department of Labour is investigating the incident.
During the service, Blackie was described as an exemplary firefighter.
Logan Daly, a fellow firefighter and friend of Blackie, said he was inspired by his colleague.
"I looked up to him. He was my role model," he told Global News. "When the going gets tough, let's be more like Skyler."
Dave Burry with the International Association of Fire Fighters said Blackie was quick to smile and very easy to befriend.
"Despite the hazards and uncertainty of his chosen profession, he did his job without hesitation," Burry said. "Whenever you, the public, would call for assistance, he was always there."

The Upper School chorus delivered an emotional message of hope, joy, and peace during a traditional annual concert that saw its last performance in Founder's Hall. The full chorus performed eight songs, including "Nothin' Gonna Stumble My Feet" and "Riu Riu Chiu," to "O Come O Come Emmanuel" and "Glow." The Men's Chorus sang the traditional spiritual "Sinner Man" and the Women's Chorus sang "Carol of the Birds" and "Adiemus." The Chamber Ensemble sang five songs, including, "Across the Universe," "True Colors," and "Baba Yetu." In a long-running tradition, fine and performing arts department chair Tina Kuhlman invited alumni in the audience to perform the traditional trio of songs that have closed the winter concert for more than two decades — "Al Shlosha D'varim," "Night of Silence," and "Joy to the World." Kuhlman also shared with the audience that the night's concert was the chorus' last in Founder's. The spring concert will take place in Seven Hills' soon-to-be-completed Schiff Center. Congrats to our student vocalists, Kuhlman, and accompanist Lynne Miller.

OK, that first photo is you in a previous life isn't it??? As for Mr Fredericks...sheesh....what were they thinking? And I haven't heard the word 'merkin' since I played the part of 'Moll Merkin' in a music hall show...not a pubic wig in sight!!!
I think that one chick, the one in the bikini, has Bob Ross stuffed down her bathing suit.
WRH- Bob Ross is that painting guy isn't it? I can see the resemblance.
That last one... just... WOW.
What, you don't want to be fancy for HIM?
I'm hoping that in 30 years, we can look back at those current ads and see them as ridiculous as the one with Mr. Frederick. And Leggs.

Measuring the Uncertainty of Renewable Diesel Projects
by Dave Collings
December 11, 2020 Chemicals, Oil & Gas
Carbon Intensity Is Important for Renewable Fuels Investments
August 25, 2020 Aviation
Increasing User Adoption of Business Intelligence
by Douglas Croy
Renewable diesel — also known as green diesel, hydrotreated vegetable oil, or hydrotreated esters and fatty acids — has now gained widespread attention throughout the world. This growing interest is turning into action as existing renewable fuels companies build grassroots facilities and purchase idle refineries. Oil companies are also busy coprocessing, building new facilities, repurposing refineries, and converting diesel hydrotreaters and hydrocrackers to renewable diesel units.
The pace of this shift is extraordinary — suggesting that the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) biodiesel and oil industries should brace for substantial long-term change over the next few decades.
U.S. oil companies have long been challenged by the cost of renewable identification numbers (RINs). Today's pandemic increases the pressure on the industry to explore the sustainable business options of renewable investments. While oil companies have been looking into these ventures since the 1970s, it wasn't until recently that more companies moved beyond passive investments in electric vehicle charging stations, wind power, algae research and corn ethanol.
With leadership from Neste, Valero and Renewable Energy Group, along with California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive II, the focus has quickly shifted from expansion, molecule management and petrochemicals projects to processing a substance unfamiliar to the average oil refinery chemical engineer. Renewable diesel has stepped in to provide a temporary solution, at minimum, with companies investing nearly $750 million to $1 billion per site.
The formula appears simple for the average oil company: Take advantage of the LCFS market, offset renewable identification number (RIN) obligations and benefit from the Blender's Tax Credit. However, it's never that simple. Periods of rapid growth can often result in future regrets if investors fail to consider the long-term impact. Renewable diesel comes with an enormous number of economic variables, including feedstock availability, RIN pricing, capital expenditure escalation, product pricing and future legislation. As renewable diesel production accelerates, producers must look beyond the five-to-10-year horizon and consider myriad factors, such as:
Carbon intensity of the renewable diesel facility and feedstock
Procurement of the desired feedstocks
Emerging feedstocks
Risks associated with renewable diesel production
Current and future markets for renewable diesel
Variability of feedstock and product price
Outlook for the Blender's Tax Credit, California LCFS and RINs
To navigate this ever-changing environment, it's critical to have a tool that can assess the risk and be understood by the people who can weigh the magnitude of those risks on an organization. To manage high-risk investments, Monte Carlo has long been a reliable methodology. This type of economic analysis tool allows organizations to quantify the risks associated with renewable diesel. It helps paint a realistic picture of the range of investment return one can expect from a modest or ambitious renewable diesel project.
It is important that organizations are fully aware of the economic variables to assure that their renewable diesel ventures become sustainable investments. While there's no crystal ball with a clear picture of revenues and expenditures, a deep technical and economic understanding can bracket the range of possibilities and guide renewable diesel projects from uninformed ideas to a sustainable business.
Organizations developing, constructing and commissioning new renewable diesel plants must consider various market conditions to avoid poorly made investments.

Q: How to make an ideal generated by differential forms into a differential ideal? Let $M=\mathbb{R}^4$ with standard coordinates $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$.
Let $\alpha=x_2dx_1+x_3dx_3+dx_4$ and $\beta=2dx_2+x_1^2dx_3+x_1dx_4$
How to find a 1-form $\gamma$ such that
the ideal generated by $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ be a differential ideal?
Here, I think that I need to use the following form of Frobenius theorem:
Frobenius Theorem The following are equivalent.

*

*An ideal generated by $\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_r$ is a differential ideal.

*The distribution $D=\operatorname{Ker} (\omega_1)\cap\cdots \cap \operatorname{Ker} (\omega_r)$ is involutive.

However, I could not calculate $\operatorname{Ker}\alpha$ and $\operatorname{Ker}\beta$.

A: You need a $1$-form $\gamma$ so that $d\alpha$, $d\beta$, and $d\gamma$ are all in the ideal generated by $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$. So the major HINT is: Compute $d\alpha$ and $d\beta$. Can you see an obvious $\gamma$ so that $d\alpha,d\beta\in (\gamma)$?

Furious George: My Forty Years Surviving NBA Divas, Clueless GMs, and Poor Shot Selection
Home » Special Interest » Sports & Games
The most outspoken and combative coach in NBA history--and one of the most successful, amassing more than 1,175 victories, the sixth best winning record ever--reflects on his life, his career, and his battles on and off the basketball court in this no-holds-barred memoir
A man of deep passion and intensity, George Karl earned his bad boy reputation while playing at the University of North Carolina, a rap that continued through the five years he spent with the San Antonio Spurs--and long after he stopped playing.
Karl's beery nights, fistfights, and barking followed him into a thirty-five-year coaching career. In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times. After leading a team beset by injuries and with no superstar to its best season of all time--an achievement that earned Karl the title NBA Coach of the Year--he was dumped by the Denver Nuggets in 2013. Less than a year and a half later, Karl was at the helm of the Sacramento Kings, snarling and bellowing on the sidelines before being cut loose in May 2016.
Intense, obstinate, and loud, Karl has never backed down from a confrontation, whether with management, officials, or star players, as NBA legends from Allan Iverson to Gary Payton to Carmelo Anthony to Demarcus Cousins can attest. Telling his story, Karl holds nothing back as he speaks out about the game that has defined his life, including the greed, selfishness, and ass-covering he believes are characteristic of the modern NBA player, and the rampant corruption that leads all the way to the office of the NBA commissioner, David Stern. Karl also reveals how he's learned to deal with the personalities, the pressure, and the setbacks with a resilience he acquired from his three bouts with cancer.
Raw, hard-hitting, and brutally honest, Furious George is as thrilling, unpredictable, and entertaining as the game that has defined Karl's life.

Q: How do you show table data on tab control? I have four different tables and I want the data from each table to be shown on four different tabs?

A: Create four subforms, each based on a different table.  Place one subform on each tab's page.  If your tables are related, you'll need to either base your main form that contains the tab control on a table or query that contains your key column.

A: While @Joey's answer is certainly the way to place different tables on different tabs, it can lead to a slow-loading form. In general, I prefer to have one subform control into which I can load different forms as required. The user does not see any difference, in that there is not much difference between clicking a button and clicking a tab.
Me.TheSubFormControlName.SourceObject = "frmForm1"

You can also set the link child and link master fields at runtime, if required.

Q: Extracting all text from a powerpoint file in VBA I have a huge set of powerpoint files from which I want to extract all the text and just lump it all into one big text file.  Each source (PPT) file has multiple pages (slides).  I do not care about formatting - only the words.
I could do this manually with a file by just ^A ^C in PPT, followed by ^V in notepad; then page down in the PPT, and repeat for each slide in the powerpoint.  (Too bad I can't just do a ^A that would grab EVERYTHING ... then I could use sendkey to copy / paste)
But there are many hundreds of these PPTs with different numbers of slides.
It seems like this would be a common thing to want to do, but I can't find an example anywhere.
Does anyone have sample code to do this?

A: Here's some code to get you started. This dumps all text in slides to the debug window. It doesn't try to format, group or do anything other than just dump.
Sub GetAllText()
Dim p As Presentation: Set p = ActivePresentation
Dim s As Slide
Dim sh As Shape
For Each s In p.Slides
    For Each sh In s.Shapes
        If sh.HasTextFrame Then
            If sh.TextFrame.HasText Then
                Debug.Print sh.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
            End If
        End If
    Next

'The Romney campaign did not comment'
By DYLAN BYERS
The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 13, 2012:
Asked about Mr. Romney's handling of the contraception requirement as governor, his campaign said he proposed "eliminating all of these coverage requirements so that insurance companies could tailor their products to specific consumers. ... ' The campaign didn't respond to a question about whether he raised the issue of religious liberty at the time.
The Associated Press, Feb. 13, 2012:
A Romney campaign spokeswoman would not respond to questions about how many earmarks the Romney administration asked for, the amount of money involved and the particular projects.
The Washington Post, February 12, 2012:
Romney, whose campaign did not respond to multiple interview requests, has said repeatedly that political considerations did not figure into his decision to take on the job. With his high-level executive skills, with a connection to the community but not touched by the scandal, he was so much the obvious first choice that all he had to do was say yes.
The New York Times, Feb. 12, 2012:
A spokeswoman for Mr. Romney did not respond to requests for comment. In an era when K Street firms serve as holding pens for political operatives and landing pads for retired lawmakers of both parties, the profusion of lobbyists around Mr. Romney's campaign in part reflects the growing embrace of his candidacy by the Republican establishment, including most of the party's elite donors and dozens of members of Congress.
The New York Times, February 11, 2012:
Mr. Romney declined a request to be interviewed for this article. But in a speech on Friday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, he made his current stance plain.
The New York Times, February 7, 2012:
Romney campaign officials did not return requests for comment. "I pay all the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more," Mr. Romney said during a debate shortly after releasing his tax returns. "I don't think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes."
The Boston Globe, Feb. 5, 2012:
The Romney campaign declined to comment. But the involvement of lobbyists in his operation illustrates how corporate and Washington interests are rallying around the former Massachusetts governor, betting that he may be president next year.
In response to a request for comment, Romney press secretary Andrea Saul wrote, "On some articles, we offer comment. On others, we don't."
UPDATE: Saul forwards the following two instances in the aforementioned articles in which the Romney campaign did comment...
The Wall Street Journal, February 13, 2012:
Asked about Mr. Romney's handling of the contraception requirement as governor, his campaign said he proposed "eliminating all of these coverage requirements so that insurance companies could tailor their products to specific consumers. ...''
The Associated Press, February 13, 2012:
"Every state budget in the country is dependent on federal funding, and every governor in the country makes requests for funding, but governors do not get to decide how Congress appropriates money," said Andrea Saul, a Romney spokeswoman. "Gov. Romney supports a permanent ban on earmarks, which are symbols of what's wrong with Washington."
...and also points out that it provided Cindy Gillespie, an Olympics lobbyist, to comment for The Washington Post's piece on Feb. 12:
The Washington Post, Feb. 12, 2012:
(Note: we provide Cindy Gillespie to speak with them)
Cindy Gillespie, the lead lobbyist for the 2002 Games and the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, said Romney publicized the financial struggles to "level with people" and establish trust.
In regard to The New York Times's request for an interview, Saul wrote, "Gov. Romney gets hundreds of interview requests, there's only so much time in a day." Saul also told me she disagreed with any suggestion that the Romney campaign was less accessible than other campaigns.
UPDATE 2: In an email accidentally sent to a reporter at the Huffington Post, spokeswoman Gail Gitcho advises the campaign to ignore the reporter's request.

Working with the male mental health charity CALM, Rascal Theatre have produced a sweet play depicting a series of encounters between two strangers at a bus stop. Gradually, as our two protagonists get to know one another, we see the cracks that lie behind each of their facades, with the pressure Martin feels to "be strong" in the face of his mother's illness dominating proceedings. Beyond the skill of the actors, perhaps the greatest strength of the play is its understatement; it resists any temptation to overly artifice proceedings or to escalate things too far. Rather, we see the simple acts of kindness for what they are, and we respond to the sincerity, the honesty, that they show.
C cubed, until 28 Aug.

MAYA RUINS
MAYA CIVILIZATION
YUCUTAN
Occupying part of the northern Yucatán Peninsula, it is bounded to the north by the Gulf of Mexico, to the east and southeast by the state of Quintana Roo, and to the southwest and west by the state of Campeche. The state capital and chief commercial centre is Mérida.
The state's relief includes coastal wetlands, semiarid hills and plains, and limestone lowlands dotted with cenotes (water-filled sinkholes). In pre-Hispanic times the peninsula was an Olmec and Maya cultural hearth, as evidenced by the monumental ruins of Chichén Itzá and Uxmal; each has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, in 1988 and 1996, respectively. Among the other numerous ruined cities are Chumul, Ek Balam, and Sayil. Strong resistance to the Spanish conquest lasted in the area from 1527 until the 1540s. Yucatán occupied the entire peninsula when it became a state in 1824, but following a series of insurrections, its territory was reduced with the loss of Campeche in 1857 (ratified in 1858) and Quintana Roo in 1902. Later boundary changes reduced the state to its present size.
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature. The city may have had the most diverse population in the Maya world, a factor that could have contributed to the variety of architectural styles at the site.
The ruins of Chichen Itza are federal property, and the site's stewardship is maintained by Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (National Institute of Anthropology and History). The land under the monuments had been privately owned until 29 March 2010, when it was purchased by the state of Yucatán.
Chichen Itza is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico with over 2 million tourists in 2016.
It lies about 22 miles (35 km) north of Mérida, the state capital. The chief port of Yucatán, Progreso was initially developed to export henequen (a fibre produced on plantations in the hinterland), but it now handles a variety of regional exports, including wood products and copra. Chief imports include foodstuffs and consumer goods for Mérida and the northern Yucatán Peninsula. The port is also frequented by ferries and cruise ships carrying international tourists. Progreso's white sand beaches and clear, calm waters make it a popular local resort destination, but the coastline has been subject to beach erosion.

Sous le signe du lion est un téléroman québécois de 30 épisodes de 25 minutes en noir et blanc scénarisé par Françoise Loranger et diffusé du  au  à la Télévision de Radio-Canada.

Une nouvelle version de deux saisons de 13 épisodes de 50 minutes a été diffusée du  au . En 1997, c'est Hélène Pedneault qui adapta d'abord le scénario et Guy Fournier prit la relève en 2000 et signa les textes de la deuxième saison.

Synopsis

L'histoire gravite autour du riche et puissant Jérémie Martin, père d'une famille qui le craint et le déteste. Devant les audaces et la modernité du scénario, Radio-Canada refusa d'abord de le diffuser, mais se ravisa quelques années plus tard.

Le récit commence après la mort de la femme de Jérémie, Clothilde, sur qui Annette, à la fois la maîtresse de Jérémie et la bonne de la maison, a pratiqué l'euthanasie par compassion. L'intrigue s'articulera ensuite autour du médaillon (sur lequel il est gravé « Qui suis-je ? ») et du journal intime de la défunte, auquel Jérémie n'a pas accès, ce qui le vexe énormément. Dans la seconde saison de la nouvelle version, écrite par Guy Fournier, Jérémie devient paralysé à la suite d'un arrêt cardiaque. Diminué et en fauteuil roulant, il perd son emprise sur son entourage, ce qui le rend encore plus malade.

WHAT: Presentation and discussion: "Advancing World Peace".
WHEN: Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m.
DETAILS: The public is invited to a free discussion and presentation by Professor of Speech and Communication at St. Petersburg College Anthony Ballard. The Paris Peace Conference, organized to set peace terms for all involved in WWI, opened in January, 1919. This year, on the 100th anniversary of the opening of that Conference, Bahá'í Faith world leaders released an inspirational letter to the public to explain the world's current state of disorder and confusion which has increased the possibility of "catastrophic consequences," and includes a call for all people to engage in the effort to establish enduring world peace.
Professor Ballard will give a dramatic reading of the letter, which includes Bahá'í leaders' perspective of the progress of humanity to achieve world peace and the spiritual requisites for that effort. The meeting is this month's presentation in the monthly series, Exploring Faith and Spiritual Reality in the Modern World: a Bahá'í Perspective.
Ballard received a B.A. in English from Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina, and a M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from South Carolina State University. Prior to joining the SPC faculty, he was a speech-language pathologist in the Pinellas County School District. In addition to teaching a basic speech course for the college, he also teaches Interpersonal Communication. Professor Ballard's philosophy of education is based on the belief that education is a basic human right. When he is not teaching, he writes and performs original songs inspired by the spiritual teachings of the Bahá'í Faith. He has recorded and released two albums of original music.
Bahá'ís believe in the elimination of prejudice, the oneness of humanity, the independent investigation of truth, equality between men and women, the agreement between religion and science, and that there is only one God who created all of the major religions. More information about this event is available by calling 800-909-7640; more info about the Baha'i Faith is available at www.Bahai.org.

Health Care Innovation
by Allie Harcharek
A look at leading-edge developments in health and wellness in South Jersey.
Innovation is easy to find when looking at health care providers in our area—from the scientists pioneering new research in genetics and disease prevention, to hospitals providing more high-tech and minimally invasive techniques, to the individual physicians training in cutting-edge procedures. In the multi-faceted world of health and wellness, there's much that's improving. This month, we explore some ways our health care providers, hospitals, medical systems and other resources have been paving the way to new methods of treatment, prevention and wellness in South Jersey.
Lourdes Health System
When it comes to matters of the heart, Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center is quite a leader. In fact, a recent report released by HealthGrades named the medical center as one of the 100 best U.S. hospitals for cardiac care—for the second year in a row—and among the top five percent in the nation for stroke treatment. "We are extremely proud to receive this distinction from HealthGrades, which recognizes our nationally ranked status in cardiac care and stroke," says Alexander J. Hatala, president and CEO of Lourdes Health System. "Our placement among the best 100 hospitals underscores our role as leaders in delivering outstanding care as well as our longstanding tradition of excellence. The HealthGrades ranking is a strong validation of our team's experience and expertise."
In the past decade, the medical center has received numerous awards and recognitions for its neuroscience, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, critical care, women's health and emergency medicine specialties, Hatala says—and it continues to lead in the realm of cardiac care and innovation. For example, this summer, Lourdes Cardiology Services became one of the first medical facilities in the country to participate in a trial of the AngelMed Guardian implantable cardiac monitor and alert system, an innovative new technology which alerts patients to potential heart problems through a unique implantation system. The system is comprised of an internal implantable device, a standard pacemaker lead and an external telemetry device, designed to track significant changes in the heart's electrical signal. If any changes are detected, the patient will feel a vibration in his or her chest (with varying intensity based on seriousness) and also receive an alert via page, with a prompt to seek immediate medical attention. This device, which also facilitates wireless retrieval of data, is expected to reduce the time it takes patients to get to the emergency room by warning them immediately when something is awry.
Kennedy Health System
In the medical world, information is key. At Kennedy, that information is being transmitted faster and more accurately thanks to investments in technology during the past several years. Says Martin A. Bieber, president and CEO: "We really believe that we need to take the best advantage of technology as possible. Information is key, but it's also about improving quality."
That includes implementing fully electronic health records at the hospitals and at Kennedy Health Alliance (KHA) offices. "The key is to get the right information in the right time frame," Bieber says. For example, at the Kennedy Neuroscience Center, now designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the New Jersey Department of Health & Senior Services, medical records are immediately accessible to physicians using electronic tools, which plays a role in expediting care. "We're rendering care at a very high and precise level, a lot of that augmented by the very precise communication system that allows us to view information virtually and instantaneously," he says.
Also in development is a smartphone application that will provide another level of care for heart failure patients. Through a partnership with Verizon and the Verizon Innovations Project, heart failure patients will be provided smartphones equipped with the new app, which will provide information, track weight and nutritional data, and even predict possible cardiac health issues, explains Dr. Carman Ciervo, of KHA's Marlton office. "It's just a great way to be able to keep patients healthy and know when they need to go into their primary care physician's office so they don't end up in the emergency department," Ciervo says. "So in trying all this innovative … technology, we can do that."
Kennedy also uses robotics to increase precision, like the use of minimally invasive daVinci surgery system or a new fully robotic laboratory for general pathology, which can test blood and urine specimens through an automated process that eliminates human contamination.
The Powerback Rehab program by Genesis HealthCare, scheduled to open on Jan. 16, has plans to shorten patient treatment time—quite literally to help people "get their power back," says Jeff Solarz, executive administrator. The specialized program is designed to help patients—typically those dealing with joint replacements, orthopedic surgeries, cardiac or pulmonary issues — establish community reintegration and prevent return admittance to the hospital. "Our goal is to not only make them stronger and get them back to their prior level of functioning, we also want them to transition quickly back to how they were living before the hospital," says Solarz.
Technology is integrated through electronic medical records (all accessed wirelessly), computer-on-wheels units, and the use of iPads by doctors and patients to direct activities, food choices and the share of information. "We take a much more patient-directed approach [to treatment], which gets everyone—including familes—very involved in the process," spurring better lifestyle choices down the road, Solarz says.
What sets this system apart is the extended level of care offered post-discharge, particularly through the Care Transitions Program; for 30 days after leaving Genesis, a nurse will conduct at-home visits, do continuous coaching calls and medication reviews, and ensure each patient has "the right community support," Solarz explains, noting the service is free of charge. The program specialists coordinate to ensure patients transitioned properly so they aren't right back in the hospital within 30 days—a problem that costs $18 billion annually, according to Medicare research.
"It's the Genesis philosophy; we plan the discharge the day they come in," Solarz says. "Part of that is the transition into the home."
Virtua Memorial Hospital recently broke ground on its new Pediatric Pavilion, the only one of its kind in Burlington County. The $9.5 million expansion project, slated to open in 2013, will utilize an innovative model of care for children under 18 that brings inpatient and outpatient emergency services under the same location. The pavilion will include eight emergency treatment beds, three minor injury chairs, five inpatient beds, a Ronald McDonald playroom, a respite area for patients and siblings, and a media center for patients and their families, according to hospital representatives. "This new Pediatric Pavilion will allow our medical staff to treat all of our pediatric patients in a state-of-the-art facility that affords the most efficient use of medical Virtua leadership," says Virtua President and CEO Richard P. Miller.
The hospital also opened a sprawling Health and Wellness Center in Moorestown this month, creating 300 permanent jobs in the process. The new center occupies 200,000 square feet, housing physician practices, an immediate care center, rehabilitation facilities, lab and imaging services, nutrition counseling, a fitness center and a day spa. The building, built with sustainable elements in mind, seeks to make Burlington County residents healthier though one central location of health and wellness services; it's the latest in a network of similar centers across South Jersey, including ones in Sewell and Voorhees, the latter of which includes a brand new joint replacement institute. Outpatient medical services like cardiac rehabilitation or diabetes counseling will be paired with physician services like obstetrics and gynecology or primary care—with the added draw of conveniences like a grab-and-go cafe or on-site child care for busy moms.
At all locations, Virtua has embraced technology both in design and practice. For that, Miller was recently honored as a recipient of the 2012 CEO Information Technology Achievement Award, an award to recognize leadership and commitment to using information technology to advance their organization's goals.
Cooper University Hospital
There has been so much information to come out of the much-discussed opening of Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, it's difficult to know where to begin.
The $139 million school welcomed its charter class this fall, with plans to unite the school and the community "by educating new physicians who will practice regionally, as well as through the creation of new programs where students and faculty will provide care, resources and services to the community." While courses are underway, already the clinical faculty has earned some worldwide recognition: Dr. Anuradha Mookerjee, MD, MPH, FACP, will present at a prestigious European medical conference regarding the school's innovative "LifeStages" course for CMSRU's first-year medical students.
Also this year in Cherry Hill, Cooper opened an Urgent Care Center to provide affordable and accessible medical care on a walk-in basis, 365 days a year. The new center, staffed with emergency medicine physicians, can be used to treat minor injuries and illnesses; patients can also turn to the new center for needs like adult or school physicals, lab and pre-admission testing, or pre-employment testing for the workplace. This new development is intended to cut down on unnecessary trips to the E.R. and provide an additional resource to a primary care physician visit, during hours that are most convenient to families and working professionals.
Reconstructive Orthopedics
Knee replacement surgeries have been around for more than four decades, slowly improving thanks to new materials, shapes and methods. But the most exciting development has been a change in surgical technique, involving a procedure that spares the quadricep tendon, says Dr. Gregory Klingenstein of Reconstructive Orthopedics.
Traditionally during a knee replacement, a large incision is made which goes into the knee capsule and tracks up into the quad tendon. "Your quad is what allows you to straighten out the leg, so as you can imagine, after knee surgery when you walk, it causes a lot of pain because someone just went through that tendon with a knife," Klingenstein says. "The advancement here is to avoid cutting the tendon by using a much, much smaller incision."
Only a handful of doctors in the country perform this type of procedure, which gives the patient significant reduction in recover time. That means getting back to work in two weeks instead of eight weeks; returning to sports in four weeks instead of four months. "It's great for active individuals, and especially economically because people appreciate being able to get back to work quickly," says Klingenstein.
Since the Lumberton-based practice is one of the only centers in the Delaware Valley performing this quad-sparring surgery, patients come all the way from Boston to Maryland to receive services here in South Jersey, operating out of the Virtua Joint Replacement Institute ("A hospital within a hospital where we only do hip and knee replacements," Klingenstein explains).
Another innovation in orthopedic surgery is in hip preservation, which helps correct laberal tears and hip intingement without the need for a full hip replacement. This procedure is generally for young, active patients and can be completed as an outpatient in Medford. "Lots of patients from this area would go to Manhattan to have their hip surgery, but now they can stay in New Jersey," Klingenstein says.
Price & Price Elder Law
This Haddonfield law practice introduced a Mobile Interactive Law Office service—dubbed MiLO-earlier this year to "better serve seniors and individuals with disabilities who need legal assistance, but who are in a health care crisis and unable to travel."
The MiLO service primarily assists with power of attorney (POA) and living will documents, but can be used for other legal services as well; as it relates to health care, a living will legally identifies someone to handle medical decisions if the client becomes incapacitated.
Currently, Price & Price is the only South Jersey firm providing this new legal mobile service. "As the population ages, more people will need services that are convenient and affordable for those who are unable to travel outside the home or health care facility," say partners Carl Price, Esq. and Casey Price, Esq.
As needed, one of the firm's liaisons will travel to a home-bound or facility-based elder client and participate in a video teleconference with an in-office attorney, completing a "live" interview and document preparation. Documents can then be e-mailed straight to the client and their family—all within 24 hours. "This process is also beneficial for hospital, rehab, assisted living, nursing home, home care and hospice staff who want the aforementioned legal documents completed before they discharge or admit a patient," the firm explains.
"The Price & Price MiLO program will change the way elder law firms serve the health care industry," says attorney Casey Price. "MiLO not only provides a convenience to families and their loved ones, it helps the health care facility social workers expedite the transition process of patients who must be discharged."
After nearly a year of anticipation, South Jersey Health System Inc. and Underwood-Memorial Health Systems Inc. will officially merge after recently signing a final agreement in November. Facilities involved in the partnership include South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center in Vineland, SJH Elmer Hospital, SJH Bridgeton Health Center, Underwood-Memorial Hospital in Woodbury and its affiliated organizations, as well as outpatient sites throughout Cumberland, Salem, Gloucester and Atlantic counties. "By incorporating best practices from each organization, both entities will work toward facilitating a systemwide standard of care that can more efficiently and effectively provide patient-focused health care," explains a statement issued regarding the move.
The expanded network will allow the hospitals to enhance key services, including the development of better outpatient care sites in an expanded service area; stronger relationships with government agencies regarding public funding initiatives and public policy; providing patients an expanded local network of providers offering high quality and affordable care; developing combined quality and safety efforts, financial performance and staff development.
Also this year, South Jersey Healthcare and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine signed an agreement designating the medical center as a major clinical affiliate of the medical school; this expands an existing five-year relationship between the two institutions in an effort to address a possible physician shortage in South Jersey.
"Partnering with UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine was a natural fit," says Chet Kaletkowski, SJH president and CEO. "The school draws almost 80 percent of its students from New Jersey, with almost a quarter from the southern counties. Although our residents will be able to practice anywhere in the country, I believe a significant number will choose to provide care in our region after getting to know our hospitals, physicians and employees."
When assisting children with brain disorders such as Asperger's syndrome, autism and learning disabilities, this learning center is using the newest technology to reprogram the brain's thinking process without the use of drugs. Brain Balance Achievement Centers are research-based organizations that are designed to alleviate the academic challenges and negative behaviors related to developmental delays such as ADHD, dyslexia, processing disorders and autism spectrum disorders.
The program was developed during the last 20 years in response to the alarming increase in the frequency of neurobehavioral disorders in children. By focusing on developmental delays in the child's brain, the program is able to pinpoint the cause of academic, social and behavioral challenges—offering some relief to families.
Children who go through this program are between the ages of 5 and 17 and can see two to four grade level advancements in various subjects. Candidates are tested through a two-day assessment where the company will evaluate more than 650 sensory/motor functions and more than 290 cognitive and academic functions. The assessment will determine what assistance the program can offer.
"Through this approach, we are able to customize a multi-step program tailored to the individual child's needs, which progressively strengthens each child's areas of weakness," says Dr. David Shapiro of the Glassboro Brain Balance. "This program includes sensory and motor stimulation, cognitive exercises and specific nutrition protocols. In the end, permanent improvements can be seen in almost every aspect of the child's function including academics, balance, coordination and strength, appetite and digestion, behavior, socialization and immune function."
South Jersey Fertility
Being able to bear children is one of the greatest gifts women have. However, many women who are at the perfect reproduction age are having problems with uterine fibroids, a benign muscle tumor which can cause heavy menstrual periods or abdominal pain. If left untreated, they can even interfere with fertility and increase the risk for miscarriage.
But with the latest technology, doctors can now remove the tumors with a minimally invasive procedure—a laparoscopy—which helps preserve fertility and avoids removal of the uterus. With the assistance of the da Vinci surgical device, women can now go home the same day as the surgery, explains says Dr. Peter Van Deerling of South Jersey Fertility in Marlton. The surgery allows surgeons to "manipulate narrow instruments with much more accurate control than with standard laparoscopy," providing a three-dimensional digital view of the operating area, so surgeons can perform tasks such as stitching and cutting through the system's precise robotic arms.
"These new techniques allow for the tumors to be removed and the uterus to be closed through small dime-sized incisions," he says. Having the same accuracy as an open surgery, but through the tiniest incision, is what the da Vinci robot system is making possible. The system even works for tumors and cysts the size of grapefruit.
It's been worth it for South Jersey Fertility to invest in the robotic surgery; utilizing this revolutionary technology enables patients to feel less pain and recuperate quicker, while saving the integrity of the uterus—and future fertility.
Center for Neurological and Neurodevelopmental Health
When it comes to brain injuries and concussions, wasted time is the last thing you need. CNNH, in Gibbsboro, uses the latest tools and technologies to help properly diagnose and treat issues without lost time. The center also provides services for children and adults with neurological conditions like autism, Asperger syndrome, Tourette and Tic syndromes, epilepsy and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder; in addition, they help those with learning disabilities; academic underachievement; speech or language disorders; neuropsychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder along with other brain, spinal, nerve and muscle diseases.
The center prides itself on their three spheres of care—assessment, diagnostic testing and treatment, according to Mark Mintz, MD, founder and president. Advanced testing instruments are used to administer computerized ADHD and neuropsychological testing, as well as analyze behavioral issues. The center also employs a sophisticated non-invasive "Dense Array EEG" to measure electrical activity of the brain.
Another new tool is the TACT system—or Technology Assisted Classroom Teaching—an in-classroom digital video monitoring system to assist in behavioral assessment services, explains Sandra Bean Lewis, outreach coordinator. This way, a teacher is able to capture clinical or behavioral incidents as they happen in a natural state, as well as the moments before and after the behavior. "This is just another way that we are able to capture data," she says. "And another way we're using technology to enhance our diagnostic process."

Q: Does GEE sampleRegions() include pixels along polygon perimeter? Does anyone know if GEE sampleRegions() includes pixels that are on the edge of the polygon? I want to train a classifier with polygons, and want the classifier only to look at pixels that are completely inside by the polygon, ie not pixels that are touching the polygon perimeter.
For example, in this image, are pixels that are bisected by the polygon perimeter included in the call to sampleRegions?

Here is an excerpt from the GEE guide, second code block on this page, that shows using the sampleRegions function in context of a simple supervised classification.
// Get the values for all pixels in each polygon in the training.
var training = image.sampleRegions({
    // Get the sample from the polygons FeatureCollection.
    collection: polygons,
    // Keep this list of properties from the polygons.
    properties: ['class'],
    // Set the scale to get Landsat pixels in the polygons.
    scale: 30
});

I didn't see anything in the API docs about this.

A: From the API docs:

Note that geometries will be snapped to pixel centers.

All pixels that have their centers within the collection input, are considered. You can easily check which pixels that are by setting the geometries argument to true and adding the points to the map.
// using sampleRegions
var sampleRegions = image.sampleRegions({
    collection: geometry,
    scale: 30,
    geometries: true
});

print('sampleRegions', sampleRegions)
Map.addLayer(image, {min: 0, max: 0.3})
Map.addLayer(sampleRegions)

Scotts Expects Modest Net Sales Growth for Fiscal 2014
MARYSVILLE, Ohio – The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Dec. 13 said it expects company-wide net sales to increase by approximately 2 to 3 percent in fiscal 2014 on flat unit volume, strategic pricing, the recent acquisition of the Tomcat consumer rodent control business and the continued growth of its LawnService business.
An anticipated improvement in gross margin rate of approximately 100 basis points and an increase in selling, general & administrative expenses (SG&A) of approximately 3 to 4 percent is expected to result in adjusted earnings from continuing operations in the range of $3.05 to $3.20 per share, an increase of 10 to 15 percent, for fiscal 2014.
Operating margin rate is expected to be in the range of 12.5 to 13 percent in fiscal 2014. Interest expense is forecasted to be lower by $5 to $7 million compared to fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate for the year is projected to be in a range of 36 to 37 percent.
The Company's operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $275 million in fiscal 2014.
"We remain confident in the strength of our brands and continue to see commitment to the category from consumers and our retail partners," said Jim Hagedorn, chairman and chief executive officer. "The guidance we have outlined assumes a conservative approach to the business, a philosophy we will continue to employ until we see a stronger macroeconomic outlook."
In addition, the Company is in the final phases of renegotiating its existing credit facility and expects to have it completed by the end of the calendar year. The amendment and extension will extend the facility's maturity through December 2018, decrease pricing and relax certain restrictive covenants. In addition, the Company announced it will exercise its call option on the $200 million of 7.25 percent senior notes issued in 2010. The Company expects the combination of these actions will reduce its overall cost of debt by approximately 60 basis points.
The Company held its Analyst & Investor Day Dec. 13, with a live webcast with presentation slides available on the investor relations section of the Company's website at http://investor.scotts.com. The replay of the webcast and accompanying presentation slides will be available on the Company's website following the meeting.
With more than $2.8 billion in worldwide sales, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is the world's largest marketer of branded consumer products for lawn and garden care.

Just what we needed
Carlisle win the perfect tonic, says two-goal striker Stead
Post-Carlisle: Jon Stead (H)
Double goalscorer Jon Stead speaks to the press after the 2-1 victory.
Sign in to PiesPlayer
Jon Stead said Notts County's 2-1 win against Carlisle United was exactly what the team needed after a "difficult period".
The striker scored twice against the Cumbrians to give Notts a perfect response to their 1-0 defeat at Barnet last Saturday.
And the veteran was full of praise for the squad for the character they showed in holding on for a vital three points.
"A few lads have been feeling under the weather but we did what we needed to do, which was to get the three points and get back on track," he said.
"With the demands we put on each other as players, we knew we were miles off it against Barnet and we were very disappointed with the way things went and we had to put things right. It's been a difficult period for us but we ground out a result.
"We got early goals and then saw it out, put bodies on the line and had some last-ditch defending which is everything you want when questions are being asked of you and you have to show a bit of character.
"I feel like we could have killed them off with a third goal and it would have made things a little bit easier but it was a battling performance and three points, which is what we needed."
The striker's brace took his tally for the season to 13 and his record in 2018 is eight goals in nine games and the veteran is pleased to see the goals flowing so regularly again.
"I'm pleased to get another couple of but, as I have spoken about before, it's about being in the right place at the right time and I'm trying to do that more often.
"I've still missed a good few chances which I have been disappointed with even after the turn of the year and I am still looking to improve because there are still a lot of things I need to work on."
Notts County vs Carlisle United on 13 Feb 18

Q: How to print the first N lines of a file in python with N as argument How would I go about getting the first N lines of a text file in python? With N have to give as argument
usage:
python file.py datafile -N 10

My code
import sys
from itertools import islice

args = sys.argv
print (args)
if args[1] == '-h':
    print ("-N for printing the number of lines: python file.py datafile -N 10")

if args[-2] == '-N':
    datafile = args[1]
    number = int(args[-1])
    with open(datafile) as myfile:
        head = list(islice(myfile, number))
        head = [item.strip() for item in head]

        print (head)
        print ('\n'.join(head))

I wrote the program, can let me know better than this code

A: Assuming that the print_head logic you've implemented need not be altered, here's the script I think you're looking for:
import sys
from itertools import islice

def print_head(file, n):
    if not file or not n:
        return

    with open(file) as myfile:
        head = [item.strip() for item in islice(myfile, n)]

    print(head)

def parse_args():
    result = {'script': sys.argv[0]}
    args = iter(sys.argv)
    for arg in args:
        if arg == '-F':
            result['filename'] = next(args)

        if arg == '-N':
            result['num_lines'] = int(next(args))

    return result

if __name__ == '__main__':
    script_args = parse_args()
    print_head(script_args.get('filename', ''), script_args.get('num_lines', 0))

Running the script
python file.py -F datafile -N 10

Note: The best way to implement it would be to use argparse library

A: You can access argument passed to the script through sys

sys.argv
  The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script. argv[0] is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether this is a full pathname or not). If the command was executed using the -c command line option to the interpreter, argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, argv[0] is the empty string.

So in code it would look like this:
import sys

print("All of argv")
print(sys.argv)
print("Last element every time")
print(sys.argv[-1])

Reading the documentation you'll see that the first values stored in the sys.argv vary according to how the user calls the script. If you print the code I pasted with different types of calls you can see for yourself the kind of values stored.
For a basic first approach: access n through sys.argv[-1] which returns the last element every time, assuming. You still have to do a try and beg for forgiveness to make sure the argument passed is a number. For that you would have:
import sys

try:
    n = int(sys.argv[-1])
except ValueError as v_e:
    print(f"Please pass a valid number as argument, not ${sys.argv[-1]}")

That's pretty much it. Obviously, it's quite basic, you can improve this even more by having the users pass values with  flags, like --skip-lines 10 and that would be your n, and it could be in any place when executing the script. I'd create a function in charge of translating sys.argv into a key,value dictionary for easy access within the script.

A: Arguments are available via the sys package.

Example 1: ./file.py datafile 10
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys

myfile = sys.argv[1]
N = int(sys.argv[2])

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = myfile.readlines()[0:args.N]
print(head)

Example 2: ./file.py datafile --N 10
If you want to pass multiple optional arguments you should have a look at the argparse package.
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Read head of file.')
parser.add_argument('file', help='Textfile to read')
parser.add_argument('--N', type=int, default=10, help='Number of lines to read')

args = parser.parse_args()
with open(args.file) as myfile:
    head = myfile.readlines()[0:args.N]
print(head)
