Q: How to copy the latest / newest file within a folder first? How to copy the latest / newest file within a folder first?
For example my code copies the latest folder to the remote machine first which is exactly what I want to do.
But how do I transfer the latest file first within the given folder?
setlocal
set "sourceDir=C:\AutoFrameworkResults"
set "destDir=\xxx.1xx.1.xx\c$\Common\AutoFrameworkResults"

for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir "%sourceDir%" /o-d /ad /b') do (
    xcopy /y /s "%sourceDir%\%%d" "%destDir%\%%d\"
)

Example output (in the wrong order, should be reversed):
C:\AutoFrameworkResults\15 May 2017\01.20.50\Time.01.20.57, Test1.jpeg
C:\AutoFrameworkResults\15 May 2017\01.20.50\Time.01.20.59, Test2.jpeg
C:\AutoFrameworkResults\15 May 2017\01.20.50\Time.01.21.14, Test3.jpeg
C:\AutoFrameworkResults\15 May 2017\01.20.50\Time.01.21.20, Test4.jpeg

A: First, a UNC path as used for destination directory must start with two backslashes \\ and not just one backslash \.
Second, DIR command option /ad means list any entry in specified directory with directory attribute set which is the reason why only subdirectories are output by DIR and further processed by FOR.
So what is needed to copy only the newest file in a specified directory is something like this:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "SourceDir=C:\AutoFrameworkResults\15 May 2017\01.20.50"
set "DestDir=\\xxx.1xx.1.xx\c$\Common\AutoFrameworkResults"

for /F "eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir "%SourceDir%\*" /A-D /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
    %SystemRoot%\System32\xcopy.exe "%SourceDir%\%%I" "%DestDir%\" /C /H /I /K /Q /R /Y >nul
    goto NewestFileCopied
)

:NewestFileCopied
endlocal

The command DIR outputs any directory entry not having directory attribute set because of /A-D which means any file. The output should be in bare format because of /B which means here only the file name with file extension. And the output should be according to last modification date in reverse order because of /O-D (date in reverse order) and implicit /TW (write time) which is the default and therefore must not be explicitly specified.
The error message output by DIR in case of no file found in specified directory is suppressed by redirecting handle STDOUT to device NUL using 2>nul. It is necessary here to escape the redirection operator > with caret character ^ to be interpreted as literal character by Windows command interpreter on parsing the FOR command line, but as redirection operator later when FOR executes the DIR command line in a separate command process in background.
The loop is exited with GOTO command after having copied the newest file.
But it looks like the requirement for this file copying task is that the batch code needs to find out also what is the newest subdirectory in 2 directory levels. In this case it is necessary to use 2 more FOR loops.
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "SourceDir=C:\AutoFrameworkResults"
set "DestDir=\\xxx.1xx.1.xx\c$\Common\AutoFrameworkResults"

for /F "eol=| delims=" %%A in ('dir "%SourceDir%\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
    for /F "eol=| delims=" %%B in ('dir "%SourceDir%\%%A\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
        for /F "eol=| delims=" %%C in ('dir "%SourceDir%\%%A\%%B\*" /A-D /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
            %SystemRoot%\System32\xcopy.exe "%SourceDir%\%%A\%%B\%%C" "%DestDir%\%%A\%%B\" /C /H /I /K /Q /R /Y >nul
            goto NewestFileCopied
        )
    )
)

:NewestFileCopied
endlocal

An even more complex code would be necessary in case of number of directory levels is also unknown by using a subroutine for determining the newest directory in current directory which calls itself for each directory found which means a recursively called subroutine is used in batch file.
The batch code below copies all files in newest directory in order of latest to oldest file:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "SourceDir=C:\AutoFrameworkResults"
set "DestDir=\\xxx.1xx.1.xx\c$\Common\AutoFrameworkResults"

for /F "eol=| delims=" %%A in ('dir "%SourceDir%\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
    for /F "eol=| delims=" %%B in ('dir "%SourceDir%\%%A\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
        for /F "eol=| delims=" %%C in ('dir "%SourceDir%\%%A\%%B\*" /A-D /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
            %SystemRoot%\System32\xcopy.exe "%SourceDir%\%%A\%%B\%%C" "%DestDir%\%%A\%%B\" /C /H /I /K /Q /R /Y >nul
        )
        goto NewestFilesCopied
    )
)

:NewestFilesCopied
endlocal

But honestly I really don't understand the requirement to copy the files from latest to oldest on copying all files from newest directory. It would be faster for copying all files in newest directory to use this code:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "SourceDir=C:\AutoFrameworkResults"
set "DestDir=\\xxx.1xx.1.xx\c$\Common\AutoFrameworkResults"

for /F "eol=| delims=" %%A in ('dir "%SourceDir%\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
    for /F "eol=| delims=" %%B in ('dir "%SourceDir%\%%A\*" /AD /B /O-D 2^>nul') do (
        %SystemRoot%\System32\xcopy.exe "%SourceDir%\%%A\%%B\*" "%DestDir%\%%A\%%B\" /C /H /I /K /Q /R /Y >nul
        goto NewestFilesCopied
    )
)

:NewestFilesCopied
endlocal

For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.

*dir /?

*echo /?

*endlocal /?

*for /?

Q: arcpy.da.UpdateCursor error: RuntimeError: create cursor has failed I'm trying to delete a few rows in the output table that is created using the Compare Table tool (anything that has an ObjectID < 0). My script was working fine (i.e. it produced the table compare output), until I inserted this Update Cursor code. It's throwing me a RuntimeError: create cursor has failed error. I tested a Search cursor in its place, and that worked fine. I'm thinking there may be a lock of some sort on the data since it was just created, but I'm not sure how to clear that lock. Any ideas?
arcpy.TableCompare_management(orig_queryTable, arcgisTable_cleaned, "UNIQUE_ID", "ATTRIBUTES_ONLY", "IGNORE_SUBTYPES", "", "", "CONTINUE_COMPARE", out_compare_file=compareTxtFile)

sqlExp = """ "ObjectID" < 0 """
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(compareTxtFile, "ObjectID", sqlExp) as deleteCursor:
    for row in deleteCursor:
        deleteCursor.deleteRow()

A: I think the problem is you cannot use updateCursor on a text file to delete reocrds.  Try using it against a dbBASE or geodatabase table instead.

The active partners of Buddy Web Design are also the members of Kwikwap Ezeweb CC. We wish to appoint people all over South Africa to sell websites , using the Kwikwap Website builder like we do. We speak to many interested people but quite often people fail when it comes to generating business leads and converting them into paying clients.
We take a critical look at our business and where and how we get clients to assist our consultants to build their own web design businesses.
These are the website which were created during October 2014 or carried over from previous months whose debit orders we collected during October. We look at how we got these clients and our prospective and current consultants can understand the market we operate in. More detailed information will be given below to share some ideas on how to generate leads.
We have started various strategies to meet new people and to market our web design services.
These strategies revolve around using facebook groups and pages and creating website directories targeting certain specific topics. We offer a free listing to one and all but get to meet people online and also offer our web design services.
I do the first 3 clients or so with the new agents and share in the revenue in lieu of a joining / training fee before an agent code is allocated. That way i only spend time with serious people, people who can sell.
Trough being active on Facebook and especially the Marloth Park Property website I have met a large number of people online and have now started selling websites. Visit the websites and find the related pages if you have not been added by myself for this purpose. I love Kruger, Marloth Park and spending time on Facebook. By providing a community service I get to meet a lot of new potential clients. It is only starting to pay off now and it will be months before I am finished , if ever with these projects.
Afrikaans websites are also favoured by people from Netherlands , Belgium etc.
I did this work and intensified my activities when i first learned of our new accommodation and bookings module.
On our website www.buddywebdesign.co.za we have also created a special for people in that area. Seeing that we are not able to train people we will save a lot of time. We have already identified potential Kwikwap consultants in Marloth Park as well as Phalaborwa. Our new consultants will benefit from the hard work we put in these websites and facebook groups.
That is the idea of your Franchise Holder, to help you develop your business.
Similar idea, similar modus operandi and now this morning for something local in the tourism sector.
Directories work if they are focussed and different and importantly if they are free. We are able to offer this free service because we make money by selling a website here and there.
We also have other secrets which we will share with our consultants personally.
It talkes hours and hours of marketing websites this way. These hours and hours can negatively affect your short term cash flow and sometimes its better and quicker to get in your car and do some cold calling.


Bob haircuts for women are certainly in vogue with various celebrities adorning them with style on the red carpet. Read the following information to know more about these eye-catching and all time classic hairdos.
Be it Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Sarah Harding, Kelly Clarkson, or Jenny McCarthy, they all have gone bobs and some of them are still sporting them. And why not, bob haircuts are easy to maintain, and most importantly, they make you look younger.
The shorter the bob, the younger you look. Bobs come in various lengths from just above the shoulders to above the ears. The best thing about them is that they suit almost any kind of face, be it round, oval, elongated, or even square.
All you have to do is choose the right ones that suit your age and hair type. Women with straight and wavy hair are ideal for such cuts, but women with extremely curly hair can go for short bobs that require less maintenance. Here are some of the bob haircuts for women.
These are nothing but in turned bob hairstyle. In this style, the hair is turned inside that looks very chick and professional. You can go for short or long inverted bob haircuts.
Inverted Bob look good on younger as well as elderly women. They also look very classy, elegant, and stylish, hence they are a good choice for office as well as parties.
Another advantage is that they go on almost any attire, be it professional trouser and blazer or just a casual jeans and t-shirt. They also look good on short dresses. You can also try them with bangs, which looks just spectacular.
This is the one in which the front layers of the hair are longer than the back hair. Remember Victoria Beckham? She usually sports stacked bob haircuts. This haircut also involves different variations.
You can go for symmetrical or asymmetrical short bob cut, as both of them look phenomenal. They suit best to younger women with an oval face. This also looks great with bangs.
You can decide the length of the back hair as per your choice. For more casual look, you can go for moderate or low length, but if you want to stand out in the crowd, then go for short back layers. In this hairstyle, you can experiment with various colorful lowlights that looks very flamboyant.
If you are bored with usual straight styles, then layered bob hairstyles are the best escape for you. If you have this hair then they would work magic for you as layers can add the glamor as well loads of volume to the hair.
Choppy layers really look good when combined with short bob hairstyles. You can choose from variety that would help you get a unique and a chic look.
You can also try them with bangs that are layered symmetrically or asymmetrically. For a sleek look, it is advisable that you opt for less layers, which are symmetrically cut to the perfection. All you have to do is a basic graduated bob haircut, add some layers to it by cutting or chopping.
Once you get the desired haircut, you can try various hair highlights and lowlights to accentuate the look. After reading so much about bob haircuts you are dying to get one soon. So go ahead and make your own style unique style statement and get the heads turning.


Hands-on training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies needed in the workplace. There are a number of definite benefits that can be realized in learning in a hands-on environment that many colleges offer.
Student experience a huge increase in the amount of information that they retain when given the opportunity to practice what they are learning in the form of hands-on training. Studies have shown that when students sit and listen intently but passively in a lecture-style environment, they retain 20 percent of the presented information. When they are given the opportunity to practice what they have just learned, that percentage increases to 75 percent.
When students are given the ability to learn in a practical hands-on environment, they are very often engaged, stimulated and want to learn as much as possible. The student's appetite for learning increases and they are more willing to listen and pay attention if they have a more practical or life like task to complete. Students also become more empowered in their own learning situation.
A student's critical thinking skills increase in a hands-on learning environment. This occurs since students must make decisions on what to do next to receive the outcome they are striving to obtain. They no longer have to rely on memory and attention as they sit in a lecture environment. These critical thinking skills remain with a student as opposed to material that is simply memorized for a test and much of the material often forgotten after the exam. Critical thinking skills are very important to the workplace as every situation that an employee encounters cannot be learned from a book.
Students who learn in a hands-on environment have an instructor nearby who have real-world experience and knowledge and can help and give guidance to them if they have difficulty with a task that they are trying to complete. This expert advice can help them perform the task correctly and safely which is very critical in the workplace.
One of the benefits of a hands-on learning environment is that students will get a feel for materials and equipment that is commonly used in the workplace after the course. This is particularly good if the student is working with equipment and tools. One of the main reasons for accidents in the workplace comes from equipment and tools misuse; knowing how to properly handle equipment increases safety.


MENLO PARK — Menlo Park's mayor and vice mayor said Tuesday they are open to the idea of creating a new school district.
Mayor Rich Cline said he would like to see the city explore having one district for all of the city's students while Mayor Pro Tem Kirsten Keith said she could see a new K-8 district serving Belle Haven, which lies within the Ravenswood City School District's boundaries.
Council members Catherine Carlton and Peter Ohtaki said they're willing to discuss the ideas as well.
"I've never heard anyone come to this council who said, 'I'm pleased to live in the Ravenswood school district,' " Keith said.
A group of Belle Haven residents asked that their neighborhood be moved out of the Ravenswood district, which is based in East Palo Alto. Their ire was raised by a recent state report that placed Ravenswood at the bottom of 2016 Common Core test results for Peninsula school districts.
Only 19 percent of Ravenswood's students met or exceeded the standards in English and 12 percent in math, compared to a state average of 49 percent in English and 37 percent in math.
Ravenswood's results also fell well below the average for other Menlo Park-serving districts: Los Lomitas Elementary School District saw an 85 percent success rate in English and 80 percent in math while Menlo Park City School District saw 82 percent in English and 81 percent in math.
"We can't continue to ignore the fact that your residents in Belle Haven don't want to be part of a failing district," neighborhood resident Sheryl Bims said at the meeting.
Last week, the council formed a subcommittee to explore a regional solution for a $279 million Ravenswood funding shortage. Council members Ray Mueller and Catherine Carlton will serve on that subcommittee.
During the meeting, Belle Haven residents also complained about what they described as overzealous code enforcement.
Marvin Sumner said he has been harassed by city officials ever since he failed to put up new numbers on his home in a timely manner after repainting the exterior. He said that since then, code enforcement has been telling him to replace a front gate that existed when he bought the property and coming in to inspect a converted garage he was told is illegal.
"I'm not the only one in the neighborhood who has these problems," Sumner said.
Belle Haven resident Rose Bickerstaff said residents had asked the city to enforce "obvious" problems such as numerous cars parked in front yards, but they never intended for officials to perform home inspections.
Residents did have good things to say about the Belle Haven community garden and a mini-grant program.
On Tuesday, the council allocated an additional $42,500 for the mini-grant program, which since 2014 has issued 50 small grants for curb appeal and community engagement projects.

FORT WORTH — Working on a drilling rig is a tough and dangerous job, where the days are long and the language is often profanity-laced.
But there is also a Christian element, say members of the Oilfield Christian Fellowship.
"We are a bunch of Christians in the oil business who try to live out our faith," said Scott Royal, president of the organization's Fort Worth chapter.
The organization, which includes hundreds of men and women in 17 chapters in the United States and Canada, was started in Houston by oilmen John Bird and Jim Teague.


In preparation for next week's Easter Egg Hunt and Celebration, volunteers gathered on the morning of March 19, for a spring workday.
Tasks included cleaning gutters, raking the parking lot to remove gumballs, raking the playground area and making small repairs to the swing set, working on the 18:20 and children's area, and other maintenance tasks.
Participants included Dan Bembower, Eli Bembower, Cole Bembower, Wyndy McRoy and Darren McRoy.

joseph manigault house
heyward-washington house
One of Charleston's most exquisite antebellum structures, the Joseph Manigault House, built in 1803, reflects the urban lifestyle of a wealthy, rice-planting family and the enslaved African Americans who lived there.
Charleston's Huguenot House
A striking spiral staircase accents the impressive central hall, and many of the rooms are restored to their original color schemes. All feature historic pieces from the Museum's collections including a selection of American, English and French furniture dating to the early 19th century. Outside, a classical Gate Temple overlooks a period garden, and the locations of adjacent historical outbuildings (e.g., kitchen and slave quarters, stable, and privy) are marked with interpretive signs.
Descending from French Huguenots who fled religious persecution in Europe in the late 1600s, the Manigaults prospered as rice planters and merchants during the 18th century and became one of South Carolina's leading families. Joseph Manigault inherited several rice plantations and over two hundred slaves from his grandfather in 1788, and also married well. Arthur Middleton, father of his first wife, Maria Henrietta Middleton, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Following Henrietta's death, he married Charlotte Drayton, with whom he had eight children. The Charleston Museum purchased the house in 1933, and has preserved and interpreted it ever since.

Randolph Correia Experiments with House and Techno Music as Blitch, Releases New Func EP '666'
The Mumbai-based guitarist and producer dropped a total of five new records last week

When we get on a call to speak to Mumbai-based guitarist and producer Randolph Correia, he's back in the room at his parents' place, where he recorded the first couple records for electro-rock outfit Pentagram, initial Func albums as well as the early material for his pop electronic duo Shaa'ir and Func. He says, "I'm with mum and dad so it's a nice atmosphere spending time with folks because it's getting pretty intense [with the pandemic]." While the seasoned artist surprised us last year by dropping an EP and two albums under the moniker Girls On Canvas, last week Correia went ahead and repeated himself by releasing new music, however, this time as the alias Blitch.
One of the reasons the musician sunk his teeth into churning out an exorbitant amount of material was to combat the negativity surrounding us at the moment. "That's all I've been doing to stay positive," he says.
The artwork for Blitch's 'Demon Inside' by Dragol9999.
As Correia explained to us last year that he wanted to separate the music he makes under his well-known electronic stage name Func, he's now reserved that outlet to focus mainly as a producer. "Any kind of sound that I started Func with, I'm not messing around with that," says the artist. With Blitch, Correia has been able to expand his sonic palate and delved into the world of house and techno with 35 tracks spread across four albums titled Waves, FUKT, Demon Inside and Pharm House. While the music was a fresh experience for him, Correia also experimented with a technique on digital audio workstation Ableton. "[I used] this kind of launch function where you can launch clips in a different way. Got the sound for Blitch basically from that technique and then started arranging little tunes out of that experiment, because most of these are like live jams," he says.
According to him, the artwork – designed by Russian-bred and London-based artist Dragol9999 – is important thematically to the records. The illustrations hark back to the motifs you'd find on metal albums, music that Correia grew up listening to. The musician says, "If you've observed a lot of Megadeth album artworks, Napalm Death album artwork, they will always kind of have this little satirical angle to it [with an] over gory subject, they would make it a little more fiction, they would make it a little more fun to see." He adds, "I think this is like an anime movie for me, where things are a bit screwed. So I kind of treat it [the records] as a music score for this little fantasy anime that I have in my head." Correia also explains that the music itself doesn't necessarily have hooks, drops or breakdowns. It's more cinematic in nature. "This new technique that I had combining it with these fictitious themes I think is what made it [Blitch] start coming together."

If four new records as Blitch weren't enough, Correia also released a new four-track Func EP last week called 666. The new EP serves as a follow-up to the artist's 2003 debut Func album Dubba. Correia always set out for Func to be a character. He picked the moniker from the word function that he'd spot on keyboards and drum machines. The producer says, "You would always see this little button called func." He adds, "It's a tongue-in-cheek little play on funk obviously rhyming with punk and me being a guitar player I liked making sense of it relating to funk music. Function for me at that point meant to create music or a story to tell in relation to the world around."
Correia revisited that early Func period while putting his back catalog up for streaming and came across the unreleased material that would eventually become 666. Sonically the music matched what he had started with Func almost two decades ago and he says, "It was also making sense now as an extension of that time in that period, and also kind of like a refresher for me just having finished these four Blitch albums."
With Func, Girls On Canvas and even Blitch, Correia isn't seen self-promoting the projects across his social media to let people know that the music is out. Is that something he'd like to change? He says, "I'm kind of shy, to be honest." Correia adds, "The thing is with Pentagram and Shaa'ir and Func I've been a bit spoilt by having the best managers, best sound and all of that stuff. So this being personal is like my other side and it's my holiday away from that stuff." Correia is also quick to say that none of these projects are "side projects" and that they are definite extensions to his experimentations and journey as an artist. The material has also allowed Correia to bag DJ gigs and live electronica sets. For him, it draws back to discovery. "When I discover some artist that no one knows or talks about, it's a great joy."

As for Correia the guitar player, he assures us that nothing beats the feeling of being up on stage playing his instrument blasting through a Marshall amp. "I've DJ'ed to thousands of people also, but it doesn't cut it."
Early morning cycling, spending less time on his phone and the internet and trying to be fit are some of Correia's remedies during the current pandemic to keep his mental health in good shape. Looking ahead, Correia tells us that he's excited to play music with Pentagram when things get better but as of now he's focused on Blitch, possibly two more Girls On Canvas records later this year as well as his own art, illustrations and paintings. "I'm really looking forward to getting back to it," he says.

Mission: Honoring our Heroes
Retired U.S. Air Force pilot Lt. Col. Bob Vaucher, like all of our nation's heroes who have served and continue to serve to protect freedom, has a story. In September during the Arsenal of Democracy event in Washington, D.C., the B-29 Doc team helped Lt. Col. Vaucher relive his story and help preserve it for generations to come.
Lt. Col. Bob Vaucher was the man who took delivery for the U.S. Army Air Corp of the first B-29 Superfortress from Boeing that was built in the Wichita factory during the war. Vaucher's military career included flying 117 combat missions during his 46 months of service, and he was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses, among other decorations. Vaucher led the "show of force" formation of 525 B-29s that flew over the Japanese surrender ceremony aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945.
On Sept. 26, Lt. Col. Vaucher was once again on board a B-29 and he shared his story as he relived his service as a B-29 commander. Click on the video player below, or click here, to watch the video with the now 101-year-old hero. (video credit: Arsenal of Democracy, ICAS, AOPA and Doc's Friends, Inc.)

Scott had a job interview last week and is at a second one for the same job as I write this. I am waiting to hear how it went. I hate waiting.
I have a few virtures but patience is not one of them. I routinely over do checking on things. When baking I have to look at whatever as it bakes, I hate it when a webpage takes too long to open up. I stand with my hand on the microwave door while heating stuff. Geesh, no patience is not one of my virtures.
But right now I really can't call his cell phone and ask how its going. So…. I am waiting.
I think I'll go workout. Maybe expending energy and time will get my mind off this.
If you are praying people, pray!!!!!!
Sorry, I am under the weather today so late getting in here. The interview went great but we are still on pins and needles waiting to see if the offer will come. Scott feels it will and I am praying.
I guess I got all the patience – cause I am like a saint really. Get it? Patience? Saint? heh!

"Although the identity of those killed or wounded could not be substantiated, the investigation found it was more likely than not that those struck were irregular forces aligned to the Syrian government.
"The situation on the ground in Syria is complex and dynamic. In many ways these forces looked and acted like Da'esh fighters the coalition has been targeting for the last two years. They were not wearing recognisable military uniforms, or displaying identifying flags or markings."
This conspicuously 'false news' from such a well-briefed source is deeply worrying, particularly as its release coincided with the Syrian Army's 'hour of glory' as it liberates Aleppo's trapped civilians from the four-year long insurgent siege.
Despite the lengthy 'investigation', carried out by the very same people who ordered and executed the murderous attack on the Syrian soldiers defending Deir al Zour from IS, the report's conclusions only confirm the false statements made to the press at the time, though embroidering them with an elaborate cover story. For the hundreds of Syrian victims of this dastardly attack and their families, any confidence in the statements and behaviour of their foreign attackers is now permanently destroyed.
How galling for those families, whose heroic husbands, sons and brothers had held their ground for two years against constant assaults from IS insurgents, to read that 'their identities could not be substantiated'. Or that these members of the Syrian Arab Army's 123rd Republican guard were mere 'irregulars aligned to the Syrian government'.
Never mind the testimony of some of the injured soldiers from hospital broadcast on Syrian state TV, describing the aggression and persistence of their attackers, or their still more incriminating statements that IS fighters moved in to take over the base before their comrades blood was even dry.
Although the US coalition's story is a complete travesty, it deserves closer scrutiny both for what it says and what it leaves out.
While novel unsubstantiated and false allegations are made about the nature of the target, the Australian Defence Forces have admitted responsibility for likely causing some of the deaths of Syrian soldiers - claiming that Australian war-planes had launched six laser-guided missiles, at what they identified as Da'esh fighters.
Since Australia 'joined the US coalition against Da'esh' two years ago, training soldiers in the Iraqi army, Australia's position on the fight against Da'esh in Syria has been obscure, and air-strikes within Syria notionally limited to preventing Da'esh from threatening Iraq. The silence of the Australian government, and the failure of the national broadcaster the ABC to ask questions about our actions against terrorist groups in Syria, contrasts sharply with the rhetoric from both sides of government here for the last five years, both against terrorism and against the Syrian government.
Not only has Australia been a central member of the 'Friends of Syria' group, and a vocal supporter of the Syrian external Opposition, but its anti-Russian and anti-Putin statements and actions have made it one of the most important partners in the NATO war on Syria. Some of that anti-Russian rhetoric is connected with Australia's support for Kiev's post-coup government, and reaction to the deaths of 38 Australians on board MH17. A recent agreement to supply Uranium to Ukraine hardly bodes for our future dealings with Moscow.
In the absence of any sensible discussion or analysis in the Australian media about the Deir al Zour attack and its actual consequences, or how the change in US leadership and likely direction in Syria could affect Australia's strategic position and military involvements in the region, some further investigation is now called for.
In the meantime, and as has happened repeatedly during the Syrian conflict, a resolution of that conflict in one area sees a resumption of it elsewhere. This 'two-steps forward, one back' - or three back - progress of the war is largely why it has taken the Syrian Army and its allies over two years to liberate Aleppo from its insurgent grip.
Of particular interest to those seeking to understand the objectives and allegiances of Syria's foreign invaders and their 'puppet-masters', is a surprising and disturbing development - the reappearance of IS forces in Palmyra.
Palmyra, like Deir al Zour, was stoically defended by the Syrian army until IS forces moved in, controversially crossing hundreds of kilometres of open desert without being noticed by the 'US coalition against IS'. (perhaps they were mistaken for Syrian troops?) In one of Russia's first acts demonstrating that it was serious about fighting and killing terrorist forces in Syria, Russian airpower helped the Syrian Army liberate the historic city and adjacent town of Tadmor ten months later.
But in a situation which is almost a mirror image of that existing today, terrorist groups including IS south of Aleppo took advantage of the Syrian Army's focus on Palmyra to seize control over the main highway linking Aleppo with Damascus, cutting off the Syrian Army contingent protecting Western Aleppo from the insurgents in the East.
As Oscar Wilde said: "to lose one parent may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
To strike the Syrian Army while targeting IS may be a 'blunder'; to fail to target IS as it again targets the Syrian Army looks like more than carelessness, and a lot like collusion. And we should ask, why did the US coalition forces not immediately return to kill those Da'esh fighters who moved into the Deir al Zour base that they had just inadvertently 'liberated' of its patriotic Syrian forces in September?
Vice Admiral David Johnston didn't answer that question - but neither was he asked it.
As a virtual postscript, and indication that things are really changing on the ground in Syria even while they remain stagnant in the minds of her foreign 'false friends', it appears that Palmyra has already be re-liberated, with many IS fighters killed in a joint Russian-Syrian operation.
And so we won't be subjected to another call to 'intervene to protect Syria's ancient heritage - from IS terrorists'.
(26/9/16) by Ron Paul | Ron Paul Forums.
On Rupert Murdoch's The Australian, republished from The Wall Street Journal where it was published at 12:00AM -5:00 Friday 16 Dec 2016 is the story US vows to strike ISIS if Syria, Russia fail to avenge Palmyra. (I was able to view the article without having to subscribe to The Australian after having removed the window which advised me that the artcle was 'premium content', presumably for Oz subscribers only).
The US will strike Islamic State in Palmyra if Russian and Syrian regime forces fail to push back and retake the Syrian city, says the top US commander in charge of the coalition targeting the extremist group.
Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend claimed that he was concerned that "the extremist group" may have acquired weapons including including armoured vehicles and air defence systems. Could General Townsend possibly have not been aware that his commander-in-chief, the still serving President Barack Obama had announced that he was waiving the ban on the supply of sophisticated weaponry to the terrorist groups in Syria.
"If the Russians and the regime don't strike it, we will," Lieutenant General Townsend continued.
General Townsend apparently expects the Syrians, Russians, Iranians and Heezbollah, at his behest, to drop whatever else they are doing in Aleppo, Idlib, Homs and elsewhere in Syria, and rush to throw ISIS out of Aleppo. If they don't then US-led coalition will, itself intervene in Syria, supposedly to fight ISIS.
The United States' claimed war against ISIS and not the 'moderate' terrorists and Townsend's supposed concern for the Palmyra world heritage site is clearly Townsend's cover story for his plans for the coalition to directly intervene and finally complete its war for 'regime-change'. That war started out nearly six years ago by the coalition's terrorist proxies.
The war has, so far, by one estimate, cost the lives for 400,000 Syrians including 80,000 members of the Syrian armed forces. The military death toll alone far exceeds Australia's horrific death toll of the First World War. In that war 60,000 Australians, almost all of them military, died.
Buried at the end of the article are some of the real reasons why Palmyra fell to ISIS.
[President Bashar al-]Assad, in an interview yesterday with Russian state television network RT, accused the US of helping Islamic State retake Palmyra, reiterating his longstanding accusations that the US is backing rather than fighting Islamic State to undermine his regime.
He said Islamic State's attack on Palmyra marked an attempt to undercut the Syrian government's offensive to retake Aleppo.
Syrian President on: How Obama helps ISIS and The Trump presidency by Sheila Newman, here on on candobetter.
As the above article shows, the United States and its allies, and not the Syrian government or rte Russians, allowed ISIS terrorists to cross the desert from Deir ez Zor in Syria and Raqq in Iraq to suddenly overwhelm the smaller garrison that was defending Palmyra and its historic ruins. That article was previously published as Australia Clears Itself of Blame in Deir ez-Zor Bombing, Watches on as Palmyra Falls to ISIS (12/12/16) by Davbid Macilwain on Russia Insider.

No Smoke Without Dragon
No Smoke Without Dragon - Cigar, Whiskey and Beer Blog.
It's time to sound the new stock klaxon! We've been excited to take delivery of the Partagas Maduro No. 3 for quite some time, so I felt it behoved me to take it for a test drive and simultaneously attempt to dispel a certain popular misconception about Maduro cigars in the process.
The Cigar
Partagas' Linea Maduro concept was launched at the Habanos Festival in Havana in 2015 with the Maduro No.1 which in but a few short years had so grown in popularity that they expanded the range to also include the Maduro No. 2 and the Maduro No. 3, which we'll be looking at today.
The Maduro No. 3 particularly appealed to me as it bears a slightly more slender ring gauge than the No. 1, which I have sampled on many occasions, and is roughly half an inch longer, which works perfectly to my preferences as I prefer a slightly more slender and lengthy cigar ordinarily.
Which brings us to the misconception I wanted to dispel: Often people mistake a Maduro wrapper as a mark of a cigar being stronger than a brand's usual offerings, whereas in actuality it bears no tangible effect on the strength of a cigar and actually provides what's described as a "top-taste" to the tobacco blend, adding a sweet flavour as opposed to an intensity of strength, which definitely translated into the flavour profile of the Maduro No. 3: the typical earthy Partagas notes aficionados of the brand gravitate towards, lots of caramel in the first third with a healthy helping of walnuts and spice as it develops into the latter thirds.
The Beer
In terms of beer, I felt my choice had to be something sweet to compliment the cigar but not overbearingly so, as it would be all too easy to lean too far into the sweetness and sicken myself, which led me into my eventual choice: New Holland Brewing's Dragon's Milk White.
Dragon's Milk White pays tribute to New Holland's multiple decades of barrel-ageing experience, which presents itself in the form of a full flavoured White Stout with strong notes of vanilla, cocoa, coffee roast, and oak from its time in bourbon barrels. The body of the beer itself is no slouch either, with its velvety mouthfeel complimenting the flavour profile incredibly well.
I've seen fleeting appearances of White Stouts come and go over the years and for a time was all too quick to dismiss it as a passing gimmick, but considering how often they rear their heads and the usual care and attention invested into their production, I'd actually quite like to see more breweries try their hands at the style, personally.
Given the information that I was armed with about the sweetness of the other aspects of this burgeoning trifecta I was creating, I figured I'd want to add an element of spice to the proceedings to not only cut through the sweetness but also elevate it. For my palate, this counted out a lot of our Bourbon selection, which I find would have leaned the pairing too far into the sweetness, which I was actively trying to avoid; so it meant that a Rye distilled spirit was the way to go.
But with the recent addition of so many high quality rye whiskies to our back bar, this left me in a new unusual quandary: Which rye was my guy?
The answer came very quickly however; Old Potrero was the way to go!
Old Potrero is something of an oddity; originally created by Anchor Distilling, the distilling arm of San Francisco brewing legends Anchor Brewing and crafted in the style of 18th Century American Whiskey using 100% malted rye distilled in pot stills; a very unusual practice indeed! Even more unusual; Old Potrero is matured in barrels that are toasted, not charred. The toasting comes about simply because heating over an open flame was how old-timey coopers bent barrel staves before it was easy to produce a lot of steam for that purpose. Supposedly, it wasn't until later on that heating to the point of charring came into fashion.
The end result spirit is very grainy; almost yeasty, like rising bread. A little honey, combined with the toasty graininess, gives an impression of Honey Nut Cheerios and good lord it's spicy, but in the peppery sense, not the baking spice sense; fairly hot and pleasantly sticky on the palate. Spice on the finish, followed by oak, with fruit lingering which is exactly what I had been looking for to fill in the gaps in the pairing!
The Pairing
I have to say, this pairing was just the pick-me-up I needed on what was quite a chilly winters morning. The aforementioned earthy aromas and caramel flavours of the cigar could figuratively wake the dead, and the beautiful spice and warmth growing as the cigar developed into its latter third certainly kicked my brain into gear! The vanilla flavours of Dragon's Milk slotted into place perfectly with the Maduro No. 3, almost unnervingly so, with the spicy rye notes of Old Potrero interacting just as I'd hoped they would; elevating the sweetness of the cigar and beer whilst filling out the experience in beautiful fashion.
All in all, it was wonderful to take the Maduro No. 3 for a spin and even if you don't try this pairing, try to make time to try the cigar for yourself; you certainly won't regret it!

Q: Laravel Vapor upload to DO Spaces I want to use Laravel Vapor on my application. There's documentation on how to upload files to S3 using Vapor but none using other cloud providers. Is it possible to upload files to Digital Ocean's Spaces using vapor? If so does anyone have some sample code I could look at

A: Here's a sample configuration for some "attachments" filesystem on DigitalOcean (its considered an "S3" service as well). I used it in a raw Laravel project but I expect Vapor to offer a very similar configuration file.
So in essence it should work out of the box if you give it the correct credentials:
// config/filesystems.php
'attachments' => [
    'driver' => env('ATTACHMENTS_DRIVER', 's3'),
    'root' => 'attachments/',
    'key' => env('DO_SPACES_KEY'),
    'secret' => env('DO_SPACES_SECRET'),
    'endpoint' => env('DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT'),
    'region' => env('DO_SPACES_REGION'),
    'bucket' => env('DO_SPACES_BUCKET'),
],

I added the DO_SPACES_xxx variables myself, you define them in your .env file, they should look similar to this:
DO_SPACES_KEY=5SOME4KEY3KRANDOMG
DO_SPACES_SECRET=12FABCI6D1MIz+Xep+321BC3MHcz+ABCO21
DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT=https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
# Region is empty in my configuration, not sure if you need it.
DO_SPACES_REGION=
DO_SPACES_BUCKET=yourbucketname

Iraq: Thousands Detained, Including Children, in Degrading Conditions
Thursday 4th of July 2019 | Asia, Iraq
(Beirut) – Nineveh's extremely overcrowded detention facilities are holding thousands of prisoners in Iraq, most on terrorism charges, for extended periods in conditions so degrading that they amount to ill-treatment. The authorities should ensure that prisoners are not held in inhuman conditions and that there is a clear legal basis for detentions, Human Rights Watch said today.
"The Iraqi government urgently needs to rebuild and rehabilitate its detention facilities," said Lama Fakih, acting Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Iraq has a duty to ensure that detainees are housed decently, in line with international standards."
Tal Kayf, Faisaliya, and Tasfirat (in the Faisaliya compound), the three pretrial detention facilities in the northern Iraq governorate, have a combined maximum capacity of 2,500 people, according to a senior Iraqi penitentiary expert who requested anonymity. As of late June 2019, they were holding about 4,500 prisoners and detainees. Of that number, 1,300 had been tried and convicted and should have been transferred to Baghdad prisons. The authorities had yet to take the steps needed to transfer them, the expert said, even six months after some were convicted.
The expert shared photos taken in May of female terrorism suspects with their children in one cell in Tal Kayf prison, and juvenile terrorism suspects in another. Two other people who had visited the prison corroborated the conditions of extreme overcrowding seen in the photos and their location. The expert said the cells at Tal Kayf prison holding detainees on other charges are less crowded because of lower numbers.

Province's new interactive flood-predicting map 'basic' but valuable, says advocate
Sabine Dietz, the executive director of CLIMAtlantic, a clearinghouse for climate research, says the maps are
New Brunswickers can now zoom in to a visual image of their homes, neighbourhoods and communities to see how likely it is that climate change will create a risk of flooding over the next several decades.
The provincial government has released a new interactive provincial flood map showing different river and coastal flooding scenarios for today and for 2100.
Sabine Dietz, the executive director of CLIMAtlantic, a clearinghouse for climate research, says the maps are "basic" but valuable.
"This is like learning your ABC's or 1 + 1 = 2. To me these are basic information. All the hard work is left now. But the hard work at least can be done based on some information that we have which we didn't have before. It's something we can visualize," she says.
Earlier this week Dietz appeared before a committee of MLAs at the legislature and urged them to come up with a new climate plan that is more "straightforward" with New Brunswickers about the impact of climate change.
The mapping helps do that, she says.
"You don't have to say 'a one in 100 storm will add two metres' or whatever. This is something that goes over most people's heads. So this is a fantastic tool to be able to visualize what happens."
The zoomable maps allow users to apply several scenarios. They can see what a one-in-20-year and a one-in-100-year flood would look like today.
And more dramatically in some communities, they can also see what a one-in-20-year and one-in-100-year flood might look like in 2100, when the planet is warmer and sea levels are higher.
In some cases the differences are dramatic. The community of Pointe-du-Chêne, near Shediac, could be cut off by water in an extreme flood today, but would be almost entirely underwater in 2100.
Communities including Shippagan and Fredericton will see much more of their downtowns underwater in 2100 than they would in a present-day flood, the maps indicate.

In other municipalities, even a one-in-20 year storm could be disastrous. The large traffic circle at Halls Creek in Moncton, a vital artery, would be submerged. The Trans-Canada Highway between Sackville and Amherst, Nova Scotia would also be underwater.
Users can click on any property and see its elevation and then compare that to projected flood levels.
The maps are based on the assumption that the current trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions continues into the future, which will make floods and coastal storm surges more intense and more frequent.
The way the numbers have been applied to New Brunswick is not new, but it's the first time they've been turned into visual mapping for public consumption.
"It is so good to see it public. We really needed that," Dietz said.
"Now we have this one tool that gives us at least part of an idea of what we have to look at and deal with and work towards."
Insurance Bureau of Canada vice-president Amanda Dean says the maps will be helpful to home buyers and insurance representatives trying to measure the flood risk of a home.
That information can affect whether buyers can get flood insurance and how much it costs, or even whether they choose to build or buy in a given location at all.
"It gets the same information in front of government, in front of insurers and in front of home owners, so everyone has the same picture in terms of what flood risk looks like in new Brunswick. More importantly, home owners understand the risk," Dean said.
"I think it makes it more real for homeowners and everyone within the New Brunswick to fully understand the flood risk that exists."
Western Hospital emergency closed overnight
The collaborative emergency centre at Western Hospital in Alberton, P.E.I., will be closed overnight Monday, says Health P.E.I. The closure is due to a temporary lack of staffing. The emergency department will close at 8 p.m. Monday and reopen 8 a.m. Tuesday. Health P.E.I. advises anyone with emergency medical needs should call 911 or seek emergency services, including in the following situations: Experiencing discomfort or tightness in the chest. Experiencing unusual shortness of breath. Experi

Most well and tap water in the United States contain moderate to heavy quantities of contamination from environmental and industrial pollution. All water sources whether a river, lake, well or glacierWhole have some level of contamination. These contaminants range from man-made byproducts and chemicals to naturally-occurring minerals.
Water from the river or lake could be exposed to stormwater runoff, acid rain, industrial waste, and pesticide runoff. Water from public water supplies or private wells could be impacted by agricultural chemicals, hazardous household products, leachate from septic systems and landfills and disease-producing pathogens.
Typically, contaminant levels are not sufficiently high to result in immediate sickness; however, they are likely to lead to chronic health conditions. This indicates effects that happen long after being repeatedly exposed to small quantities of a contaminant.
Installing a whole house water filter system could solve a wide variety of issues affecting the appearance, taste, and quality of the water. Whole house water filters eliminate contaminants from the water via a filter attached to the water line. The water coming into the home will pass through the filter prior to being routed to the appliances, faucets, and toilets in the home.
Carbon filtration effectively removes chlorine, VOCs, chloramines, and odor to supply chemical-free water throughout the entire home. If your home has a particular water contaminant issue like bacteria, sediment, fluoride or iron, a whole house filtration system catered to eliminating that specific contaminant will be required.
For example, if there is brown and orange iron staining the fixtures around the home, a whole house iron filter will be needed to eliminate the staining. A whole house softener is suggested if soft water is required for spotless glassware and a scale-free environment. You can combine a softener with any filtration system to provide soft and clean water throughout the home.
Two main forms of whole house water filters exist. They are the heavy-duty filtration system and the standard capacity water cartridge.
This is the premier performing contaminant removal system due to the great quantities of filter media utilized. The media is put in a tank roughly 50-inches tall and delivers particular contaminant protection for 5 to 10 years before it has to be replaced.
These cartridges are put inside long-lasting filter housings to provide treatment for the contaminated water all through the home. They are typically 4.5 inches in Diameter by 10-inch or 20-inch in height and they are replaced yearly. These systems are more inexpensive but require more maintenance.

What can we learn from this assemblage created from artifacts in the Kelsey Museum?** The grave marker reads: To the gods of the netherworld, To Julia Crestes Junius Phoebion for his wife--well deserving it--he made it." Clues to the life of this woman were given by inspection of the remaining bones inside the urn and the associated grave goods. Mixed with the ashes are three femurs (two left and one right), all female. This indicates that there are at least two individuals' cremated remains in this assemblage. By examining parts of the skull, the ages of the women can be estimated. One was approximately forty years old and the other was in her mid-twenties.
Why two women? The tombstone only indicates one burial. There are many possible explanations. The other bones may have been added at a later date to increase the value of the urn and its contents on the modern day black market. This commonly occurs in cases where locals discover ancient burials and try to make a profit from their findings. The fact that several animal bones were also found in the cremated remains also suggests this is a viable explanation, since it is unlikely that animals would have been mixed with the original cremation. Another possible explanation for the extra bones is that the cremated remains of another family member or slave may later have been placed in the same urn with the original burial. It is unlikely we will ever know the final story here.
Based upon the scant traces of gold found with the remains, it is likely that the person originally buried here was most likely a middle class citizen. Due to gold's high melting point (approximately 1000 degrees C.), any large pieces ofjewelry she might have been wearing at the time of her funeral would be more intact. The amount of gold in these remains is surely too small for any sort of extravagant display. Possibly the gold preserved here was part of the fabric of her clothing.
Some remains of glass unguentaria and carved bone were also present in the urn. Unguentaria, or "tear bottles", were commonly placed with the body before cremation. These vessels frequently contained ritual oils and perfumes. The original nature and purpose of the carved bone fragments, however, are still up for speculation. These may have come from a cosmetics box, candle holder, or musical instrument, and indicate the presence, together with tiny fragments of some bronze object (perhaps a coin), of other grave goods in the cremation.
**Please note: this "assemblage" was created solely for educational purposes. While the cremation urn KM 2903 and its contents may reflect an actual burial (it was purchased in the 1920's in Puteoli, Italy), the other objects in this "assemblage" (inscription, columbarium, and melted glass) do not come from the same archaeological context. A full explanation of this class project is found on the introductory page for this website.

Understanding the Geisha Cultivar
April 2, 2010 by Miguel Meza
Like many people in coffee, the Geisha cultivar in Panama fascinates me. I've done as much research into its history, as well as other Ethiopian cultivars, as anyone. While I have a lot to say on it here I want to focus on some aspects of its history that were unknown to me until a few days ago and relate a period of its history I haven't heard before.
Most people who know of the Geisha know of it because of Hacienda La Esmeralda. And the re-discovery of this cultivar by the Peterson family. In 2004 they entered into the best of Panama cupping competition a small lot of coffee selected from this varietal and the rest as they say is history. The Esmeralda Geisha dominated that competition and virtually every cupping competition it has been entered into since. At its best the Geisha cultivar is a truly astounding coffee. It's also widely known that this cultivar has its origins in Ethiopia. And was brought to Central America decades ago.
I know a fair amount of why it was collected and likely why it was distributed to research stations around the world. What I didn't know was WHY it was brought to Panama to be planted. A few days ago in Boquete Panama I was with Fransisco Serracin, cupping coffees from his Family's Don Pachi estate and visiting his farm to see their Geisha cultivar up close. (It is a very strange varietal with inconsistent characteristics and behaves much more like a hybrid than an established cultivar.) He asked me if I would like to go meet his father Don Pachi. And I happily accepted that opportunity. Don Pachi is the man who brought the Geisha to Panama, and all the mature Geisha trees at Esmeralda and other farms can trace their lineage back to trees he brought from Costa Rica in the 1960's
We arrived at another of the family's farms and Don Pachi was out in his fields pruning his trees. This lively 70 year old man with machete at his side has an obviously love of his land, his farm and coffee and it was a great honor to meet with him and ask him some questions.
Around 1960 many farms in Panama and much of Central America began planting the shorter, higher yielding cultivars Caturra and Catuai. But Don Pachi preferred the taller trees like Typica and Bourbon. In addition to his contribution for bringing the Geisha to Panama Don Pachi has also spent his life selectively breeding the Bourbon varietal.
Why did Don Pachi bring the Geisha to Panama? The major motivation was its resistance to rust, an aggressive fungal disease that has ravaged coffee regions around the world. But at the time Don Pachi brought the Geisha to Panama rust hadn't arrived there yet, and to this day although it has been found in Panama it hasn't become a large problem. He brought the Geisha from CATIE in neighboring Costa Rica, an agricultural research station which maintains one of the largest coffee species and varietal collections in the world. At CATIE at the time they would have had at least a dozen and likely many more Ethiopian cultivars to choose from, many exhibiting some resistance to rust. So I asked him why did he select the Geisha cultivar in particular? The answer was simple enough. The Geisha had resistance to two strains of rust, which happened to be the two that were currently in other parts of Central America at the time. So when rust reached Panama inevitably, this cultivar would provide some insurance in case of an outbreak. A lot of forethought there. He raised thousands of trees from the Geisha at CATIE and planted at his farm as well as provided to other farms including the Jaramillo plot at Hacienda La Esmeralda. It's also interesting to note he was a very young man at the time when he brought the Geisha to Panama 22 or 23, either recently graduated or still in college at the time. I didn't ask. To anyone who has tasted some of the outstanding coffees this varietal can produce its Don Pachi you can thank for this varietal being around today and not just one of many curiosities at a research station. Geisha wasn't the only Ethiopian varietal he brought from CATIE. He brought half a dozen others as well but none of them he planted widely like he did the Geisha. The names and accession numbers of these plants are forgotten and the trees are now long gone. Why he brought those as well I didn't ask. Could any have proved the taste sensation that Geisha has become? I can only wonder.

YouTube star Brittani Boren Leach shares distressing video of baby with RSV
www.dailymail.co.uk, October 20, 2022
Boren Leach's newborn, Cam, was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) last week and was admitted to the Children's Hospital of San Antonio. She documented her son's battle with the virus in a series of Instagram Stories, explaining that his older brothers were sick first. For many children, RSV causes mild cold symptoms, but it can lead to serious complications for infants, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Boren Leach said she and her husband, Jeff Leach, took Cam to the ER last Thursday after noticing his chest retractions, a sign of labored breathing. After waiting three hours before they were seen, a doctor diagnosed him with RSV and sent him home to her surprise. Boren Leach said she took Cam to the Children's Hospital of San Antonio for a second opinion less than 24 hours later, and he was immediately admitted. The mom urged other parents to follow their instincts, sharing the experience was 'extremely triggering' after her son Crew's death nearly three years ago. Crew was found unresponsive on Christmas Day 2019 and declared brain dead. Boren Leach's youngest son was given oxygen and spent four days in the neonatal intensive care unit before he was discharged on Tuesday.

Q: How to execute a script on each row of a table with Selenium, Python I'm quite new to Python and Selenium and I need help with a few things. I searched and experimented for a few days now but I'm stuck with no ideas what so ever.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a table with a bunch of orders. And in there, each sell I've made has a sales record with the buyer's information.
Inside the page with all the sales there is a table that looks as follows :

Once you click on the little devil's arrow you get the following menu:

All I need is a way to click on the " View sales record " option from each arrow on every sale on the page, and to open each sales record in a different tab. ( Every day the number of sales varies )
I tried over 20 different ways to open the sales record link but so far the only thing that seems to work is the following code:
driver.execute_script("document.querySelector('#LineActions > div > div > div.mu-ov-w.mu-d-ov > div > div.mu-ov-c1 > div > div > table > tbody > tr > td > ul > li:nth-child(3) > a').click();")
When the browser loads the page and the script executes it opens the sales record for the first order. The problem is that I have no idea how execute the script for every other order.
Every arrow and link is placed inside a tbody tag. The table looks like this:

        ....

        ....

        ....

        ....

The  tag with 'class="dt-nsb"' is the empty space between each line with 'Sell similar' ( as seen in the first picture )
The id always adds one to the id of the previous relevant  tag.
The selector for the first row is #tbl_mu_active_tbl_id > tbody:nth-child(2)
 For the second one: #tbl_mu_active_tbl_id > tbody:nth-child(4) And so on.
I tried a number of ways for iterating through table rows but I couldn't get the script to execute on none of the other rows.
To sum up, the present questions are:
How to execute the script on each row of the table?
Is there a way to make the script to open the link in a new tab ?

A: To execute script on each row of table, you need to find all elements of that table and put them in an array, then just loop. This can be conveniently achieved by using find_elemens_by_xpath as following:
table = driver.find_element_by_id('tbl_mu_active_tbl_id')
rows = table.find_elements_by_xpath('//tbody')  #find all tbody inside table

Then loop that array rows
For the part of opening new tab, can be found here: Open web in new tab Selenium + Python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

actions = ActionChains(driver)
for i in rows:
    actions = ActionChains(driver)
    actions.key_down(Keys.CONTROL).click(i).key_up(Keys.CONTROL).perform()

Please be caution when you open new tabs, you will find it hard to switch to new tab window to execute further scripts.
Find some clues here Selenium webdriver using switch_to_windows() and printing the title doesn't print the title.

Bank may create 3,000 more jobs
A MASSIVE 3,000 jobs could be created in Chester over the next decade.
But that's only if American banking giant MBNA can win planning approval to build a huge extension to its sprawling European headquarters on Chester Business Park.
Bosses at MBNA Europe Bank Ltd are eager to double the size of their operation but their American dream lies in the hands of planning chiefs at Chester City Council.
Rumours have been circulating for some time of a possible jobs boost by the company. But they were cemented yesterday when planners at the Town Hall received an application from MBNA to apply for an expansion of their operation on remaining land close to their site which houses 3,000 staff
This development, which will be a massive boost to Chester's economy, is proposed on a 26-acre site which MBNA acquired in December 2000.
Just less than half of MBNA's proposed site is within the existing business park and already has the benefit of outline planning permission.
The other half is in a landlocked site behind the Holiday Inn formerly Posthouse Hotel which is allocated in the deposit draft Chester District Local Plan as an extension of the business park.
The planning application also contains a green commuter plan and environmental study.
Prime Minister Tony Blair visited MBNA about a year ago to announce the company was to create up to 1,000 new call centre positions.
At the time he said: 'It's a real honour to see myself what an excellent and thriving company it is and what you have done and how dedicated the staffare.
'Everywhere I go I see these signs which say think of yourself as a customer. I don't think I have ever had such a strong sales pitch made to me as Prime Minister in all the places I have visited.
'Since in a business such as this, it is that quality of customer service that really makes the difference and one of the reasons why we are so passionate about education in schools nowadays is because it's only if people have that bit of extra education and have that skill of dealing with people, as well as simply sitting in front of a machine, that they can really make a difference and make a business grow and be successful.'
If planning approval is granted for the new development, and subject to European market conditions, MBNA's proposal would bring considerable capital investment and jobs.
In a statement, the leader and deputy leader at Chester City Council, Cllrs John Price and David Evans said: 'This is potentially very good news.
'We recognise that it will bring challenges with it and the city council's planning board will need to balance all the issues carefully in reaching a decision.
'However, there is huge potential benefit, not only for Chester, but for North West England and North Wales.
'Over the last eight years, MBNA have, directly and indirectly, created thousands of jobs and brought hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into the wider Chester region.
'Our policy is to work closely with MBNA and other local businesses to retain and create jobs in a sustainable, vibrant local economy.'
They add: 'Working with MBNA and in partnership with Government, the North West Development Agency, Cheshire County Council and others, we hope we can achieve MBNAs intended growth.'
The city council will consider the planning application closely over the next few months and, if approved, may need to go to the Gov -ernment office north west for final approval.
