Morning Report: Daniel Cormier fires back at Jon Jones, says he's talking 'like a 16-year old girl'
By Shaun Al-Shatti@shaunalshatti Aug 6, 2013, 8:00am EDT
Well folks, we're in the home stretch. Enjoy it while you still can, because aside from a brief moment at the end of August, the next four days are the only break in the action you're going to get for a while. Once Saturday rolls around with WSOF 4, MMA's furious end-of-2013 calendar shifts into high gear, with non-stop major events lining the every week of the schedule until late-November. And that's not an exaggeration.
But in the meantime, there's a ton to discuss. So lean back in that office chair, heat up that morning coffee, kick up your feet and let's dive into some headlines.
6 MUST-READ STORIES
Bellator pay-per-view. Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney revealed a myriad of details about his organization's upcoming debut on pay-per-view, including a $35 to $45 price point, Jackson-Ortiz will be a three-round fight, and multiple title fights are a possibility for the main card.
Cormier, Jones spar. After Jon Jones accused Daniel Cormier of 'just wanting to be famous,' Cormier fired back at the UFC light heavyweight champion: "When I hear his quote, it's like a 16-year old girl," Cormier said. "Jon Jones, grow up bud. We're going to fight regardless of how you feel. And when we do and I'm cutting the line and you might as well pull the guard because I'm taking you down."
Daley signs. Paul Daley inked a three-fight deal with European organization BAMMA. "We know how much Paul brings to a promotions fight roster and this multi-fight deal shows the mutual respect that we hold each other in," said Ashley Bothwell, BAMMA's managing director.
Gracie let go. Following his UFC 162 loss to Tim Kennedy, which signified the end to his four-fight Strikeforce deal, Zuffa officials elected not to renew the contract of Roger Gracie. SporTV first reported the news.
Silva still wants superfight. Despite losing his UFC middleweight title, Anderson Silva is still eyeing an eventual superfight against either Jon Jones or Georges St-Pierre. "I hope it happens," Anderson Silva told Combate.com. "That's the fight everybody is waiting for."
New York update. New York Assembly GOP minority leader Brian Kolb issued a press release calling for a special Assembly session to discuss urgent agenda matters, including, "Bring a vote on Mixed Martial Arts legislation to the floor, a job-creating measure with more than 60 bill sponsors and bipartisan support in the Assembly."
MEDIA STEW
I swear, even a month after the fact, this is still incredibly bizarre footage to watch.
More backstage footage for you guys, this time all the way from Brazil.
Jared Rosholt is a tremendously accomplished amateur wrestler at Oklahoma State turned top heavyweight MMA prospect. And lucky for us, he just fought over the weekend.
How about one more? Normally I'd tell you to skip ahead to a certain time, but this one doesn't take long. And yeah, hopefully that guy is still alive, because he could've fooled me.
We now move from Zimbabwe's general election to a couple of tall guys who punch each other in the face. The BBC, keepin' it classy.
Tito's got jokes, guys.

FIGHT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Announced yesterday (Monday, August 5, 2013):
UFC 165: Roland Delorme (9-1) vs. Alex Caceres (8-5)
UFC Fight Night 27: Sara McMann (7-0) out with injury opposite Sarah Kaufman (16-2)
FANPOST OF THE DAY
Today's Fanpost of the Day comes to us from SecondhandMMA, who writes: Bellator: The New Pride FC
Since the demise of Pride in 2007, the UFC's greatest rival promotion, many different organizations stepped up to try and fill the void. Several Japanese promotions picked up Pride's hometown hero's (SRC and Dream), Affliction attempted to buy the ronin fighters with their pocket books, and Strikeforce looked pretty good toward the end of it's independence. However, all of these promotions ended up being absorbed by the industry leader.
Bellator is the newest face on the block, and the one with the most viable chance of holding it's own. While highly doubtful they move past the UFC as the number one promotion, they have established themselves as a very legitimate no. 2. The UFC has disregarded the promotion, and it's practices, but it must noted that the UFC is no longer the lone wolf on the major scene.
Bellator, in establishing their credibility, has also opened up the fighter market. For up and coming fighters looking to make it past the uppermost echelon of the regional scene (Legacy FC to name the most successful one), there is another alternative to the UFC. For fighters on their way out of the UFC, another employer is ready to negotiate their contracts.
When the UFC and Pride were still locked in promotional battle, a fighter with name value was something to cherish. Men would come from Pride to the UFC and vice versa. Irregardless of if they could still compete with the best, men would still be put on fight cards because they were recognizable. A key example would be Pedro Rizzo, past his fighting prime, returning after a two year layoff, to suffer two first round knockouts. But he was there! Off of a UFC victory no less.
When Pride closed shop, the fighters had other options: the aforementioned Japanese promotions, Affliction and Strikeforce. Soon enough, however, the competition fell to the UFC juggernaut, and with it, so did the free lancing paydays.
But now Bellator is the newest plan B. Having already drawn UFC washouts (but still name fighters) such as Renato Sobral, Marcus Aurelio, and Marcus Davis, this point was illustrated in no greater way than the announcement of Tito Ortiz vs. Quinton Jackson. Two fighters, who for all intents and purposes, are fighting with nothing left to prove and nothing left to gain except a paycheck, have found a new home.
The interesting thing in all this is how Bellator has managed to stay so alluring to the free agent. With the public vitriol seen on message boards in the wake of the Eddie Alvarez lawsuit, it would be easy to assume that fighters would be dissuaded. But that just goes to show how well Bellator has downplayed the legal battle it is undertaking.
Bellator is the new Pride, in terms of name fighters looking to stay out of the UFC. The option is there for the taking, and it will be interesting to see who takes the invitation.

George R.R. Martin Confirms 'Thrones' Prequel Features Starks, 100 Westeros Kingdoms, and More
Don't expect the Lannister family to show up in the prequel series.
Kit Harington, "Game of Thrones"
The super-secretive "Game of Thrones" prequel television series just got slightly less mysterious thanks to franchise creator George R.R. Martin. The author is behind the upcoming series alongside showrunner Jane Goldman and shared some new facts to Entertainment Weekly about what "Thrones" fans can expect in the prequel. The biggest revelation is that the Stark family, a driving force behind HBO's flagship "Game of Thrones" series, will be featured in some capacity in the prequel story.
"The Starks will definitely be there," Martin said. "Obviously the White Walkers are here — or as they're called in my books, The Others — and that will be an aspect of it. There are things like direwolves and mammoths."
The prequel takes place thousands of years before the events of "Game of Thrones." According to Martin, the setting means this version of Westeros has far more than just the seven kingdoms "Thrones" fans are used to hearing about. "We talk about the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros; there were Seven Kingdoms at the time of Aegon's Conquest," the author said. "But if you go back further then there are nine kingdoms, and 12 kingdoms, and eventually you get back to where there are a hundred kingdoms — petty kingdoms — and that's the era we're talking about here."
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Speaks Out Against 'Thrones' Backlash: 'We Worked Our Asses Off'
With Their White Feminist Bias, TV's Prestige Dramas Continue to Fail
One group of characters that will not be included in the "Thrones" prequel are the Lannisters. The conflict between the Stark and Lannister families was a driving force behind "Game of Thrones," but the prequel series is set long before the Lannister family makes a claim in Westeros.
"The Lannisters aren't there yet, but Casterly Rock is certainly there; it's like the Rock of Gibraltar," Martin said. "It's actually occupied by the Casterlys — for whom it's still named after in the time of Game of Thrones."
As for the title, Martin has been outspoken about wanting to call the series "The Long Night." That title was what "Game of Thrones" named its much-discussed Battle of Winterfell episode in the final season, which means Martin might have to come up with a different title. "I heard a suggestion that it could be called 'The Longest Night,' which is a variant I wouldn't mind," he said. "That would be pretty good."
HBO kicked of production on the pilot episode for the "Thrones" prequel in June.

Prof: Halimu Shauri. Image: (Courtesy)
(Dean School of Humanities and Social Sciences; Pwani University)
Today, we have heard on television the challenges facing the health ministry with regard to COVID-19 tracing of infected persons.
This problem needs to be resolved immediately to curtail further infections of Kenyans by those who come into contact with infected persons.
The million dollar question is how this challenge can be resolved?
I take this opportunity to reiterate my earlier messages, one to the President Uhuru Kenyatta to consider using his executive powers or evoke the powers in the public health Act on uplifting confidentiality of patients for the benefit of the public.
In my argument, I said once this is done then contact tracing becomes easy as the current methodology of tracing COVID-19 infection persons using Social Network Analysis (SNA), where the infected person reveals those whom he or she has come into contact with.
This approach, though conceals the confidentiality of the COVID-19 patients, is deficient in the shock, anxiety, stigma and discrimination that can make infected persons not remember all the people they have come into contact with.
Accordingly, to resolve the contact tracing headache I proposed in my earlier article in the Coast Newspaper to reverse this process in what I called, Reverse Social Network Analysis (RSNA).
This new and innovative approach works on the premise of the uplifting of the patient confidentiality clause.
Once lifted, then it works by disclosure of the COVID-19 Patient by the national coordinating centre. Once the infected person is revealed to the public, then all those who came into contact with the patient will know they are at risk of contracting COVID-19 infection.
They can then make choices, to self-quarantine or isolate themselves or inform the county or national agency for isolation.
While RSNA is more refined than SNA that is currently being used for contact tracing, with its attendant headaches to the implementing agencies, it assumes high level of responsibility on the part of the citizens.
IDENTITY DISCLOSURE
That is once an infected case is announced and person's identity disclosed, those who came into contact with him or her should immediately self-quarantine or surrender themselves to authorities.
Because of humanity deficiencies, some people may be in denial and may delay or refuse to present themselves.
This category of people can also be included by making it mandatory to self-declare if you came into contact with an announced COVID-19 patient or face the law. Maybe have in place very harsh penalty for defaulters.
Finally, Albert Einstein once said, we cannot do things the same way and expect different results that must be insanity.
COVID-19 Virus, Image (Courtesy)
We can't be tracing COVID-19 infected persons using the same approach that is giving the agencies headaches since March 2020, when the first case which has now recovered successfully was confirmed, and expect no headaches!
I know it's difficult to accept change but COVID-19 requires dynamism of thought and action, guided by innovative approaches.
This is a new pandemic and hence trying approaches that have promise to work should be our priority.

Q: TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str in Python I wrote the below code to copy the contents of all ".txt" files into a single ".txt" file, it also slightly modifies each line copied. I'm getting the error TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str. Anyone know how to fix this?
import glob
read_files = []
file_name = 'img/img'
for i in range(1,14912):
    read_files.append(file_name+str(i)+".txt")

with open("result.txt","wb") as outfile:
    for i,f in enumerate(read_files):
        with open(f, "rb") as infile:
            Lines = infile.readlines()
            for Line in Lines:
                outfile.write(str(i+1)+" "+Line)

Edit: This error is caused due to last line

A: You are opening the files in binary mode. There's no (significant, in my opinion) reason to do that: they are text files, so open them in text mode. That's the default, so all you need to do is drop the b from the mode.
with open("result.txt", "w") as outfile:
    for i,f in enumerate(read_files):
        with open(f, "r") as infile:
            Lines = infile.readlines()
            for Line in Lines:
                outfile.write(str(i+1)+" "+Line)

This does incur some overhead: you have to decode each line when reading, then encode it again when writing. If you weren't modifying the line being written, reading and writing the raw bytes might make sense. (It would also make sense if you planned on using a different encoding for the output file, e.g. switching from ISO-8859 to UTF-8.) If you want to handle the raw bytes, simply encode str(i+1) manually before writing, and use b" " instead of " " to join the two values.
with open("result.txt","wb") as outfile:
    for i,f in enumerate(read_files):
        with open(f, "rb") as infile:
            Lines = infile.readlines()
            for Line in Lines:
                outfile.write(str(i+1).encode() + b" " + Line)

Beekeepers needed! Please participate in the National Colony Loss Management Survey organized by the Bee Informed Partnership and sponsored by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
Please go to our online survey at http://10.selectsurvey.net/beeinformed/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=BIP2015 and complete the survey there. It will be live on April 1st and close on April 30th. Please do not complete the survey more than once.
Information about past Winter Loss and National Management Surveys and the annual reports can be found online at http://beeinformed.org/.
The Colony Loss Survey has evolved from our winter loss survey because last year we found that commercial beekeepers lost 25% of their colonies over the summer, and so we are now starting to monitor and report annual, in addition to winter losses. The National Management Survey is conducted annually in conjunction with the Colony Loss Survey. Designed to take about 30 minutes, the 2 surveys are aimed at looking for relationships between colony loses and colony management (including disease treatment strategies, supplemental feeding, etc.) and/or other factors that may influence colony health (such as colony location, honey production, and forage type). Your participation in this research is voluntary and your responses will be kept confidential. In any publication or presentation resulting from this research, no personally identifiable information will be disclosed. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at askbeeinformed@gmail.com. Once again thank you for your participation.


Ed Schmidt's 1989 play imagines a summit of 1947's black cultural icons on the eve of Jackie Robinson's signing with the Dodgers.
Ed Asner doesn't know it, but Lookingglass Theatre Company has him to thank for its latest production.
"Ed Asner makes my heart stop. I've been the biggest fan of him since I was a little girl," J. Nicole Brooks says. Asner has been a frequent contributor to L.A. Theatre Works, the Los Angeles–based nonprofit that makes audio recordings of contemporary and classic plays, often using actors well known from film and television.
"One Saturday night, my boyfriend's like, 'You've gotta listen to this play, this is the dopest thing I've ever heard,' " Brooks, a Washington Park native who now lives in L.A., says over drinks at Petterino's. The play was a 1996 Theatre Works recording of Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting, a 1989 work by Ed Schmidt about Jackie Robinson and the integration of baseball. Asner played Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey.
Actor and playwright Brooks became Lookingglass's newest ensemble member in 2007, after the company produced her Black Diamond: The Years the Locusts Have Eaten; she also played the title role in her own Fedra: Queen of Haiti in 2009. A two-decade-old script seemed an unlikely choice for Lookingglass, a company that almost exclusively produces original works or new adaptations.
"It went from 'maybe not' to 'you're in, kiddo,' " says Brooks, who's directing solo for the first time. (She and David Catlin codirected Black Diamond.) Much of her cast from the 2010 reading returns for the production, including James Vincent Meredith as Robeson, Larry Neumann Jr. as Rickey and Ernest Perry as Bojangles.
Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting starts previews Wednesday 4 and opens January 14.

1 in 4 plan to bolt job post-pandemic
Kim Hart
Illustration: Rae Cook/Axios
1 in 4 workers (26%) plans to look for a job at a different company once the pandemic has subsided, according to Prudential's latest Pulse of the American Worker Survey, conducted by Morning Consult in March.
Why it matters: High-skilled workers with plenty of opportunities are the hardest to replace. This massive reshuffling also will create major headaches for employers, and will likely expand the gaps between men and women in the workplace.
By the numbers: The number of workers planning to bolt their jobs is even higher (34%) for Millennials, the largest generation in the workforce today.
Of those planning to leave their current job, 80% are concerned about career growth, and nearly 75% say the pandemic made them rethink their skill sets.
"If there's one thing that keeps me up at night, it's the talent flight risk," said Prudential Vice Chair Rob Falzon.
Now that the pandemic's economic threat is easing up, business leaders "need to get back to looking more intently at our talent and ensuring we are giving them opportunities even in a remote environment, or we're going to lose them," Falzon said.
High-performing workers are the most concerned about career advancement in their current jobs, and they no longer feel geographically tied to local employers in a remote world.
The big picture: Most workers say they want to work remotely at least part of the time even after offices re-open, multiple surveys suggest. Despite the benefits, "hybrid" environments also create new workplace tensions.
Nearly half of remote workers say they'd be nervous about job security if they stayed remote while colleagues returned to the office, per Prudential's survey.
Between the lines: Worker burnout will also contribute to the "talent flight," as workers put in more hours remotely, take less time off, juggle child care duties and deal with general pandemic stress.
Some workers may believe they need to change jobs to get a better grip on work-life balance or find a place where they feel more connected, per Falzon.
Nearly half of employees surveyed by Prudential said they feel disconnected to their companies after a year of working remotely, partly because they are missing the benefits of interacting with people outside their teams and getting "face time" with higher-ups in the office. This "culture decay" can lead people to be more likely to hop to a new employer.
Reality check: The new work dynamics may have profound consequences for women, who at least initially are less likely to return full time to the work site.
This may worsen the gender pay gap if managers perceive on-site workers to be higher performers, Axios' Erica Pandey has reported.
And while white-collar workers may be eager to move around, people who lost their service, retail and hospitality industry jobs are less likely to have new opportunities for quite some time. Many will need to learn new skills for other types of jobs.
People are becoming more optimistic about their financial and professional prospects as the pandemic progresses, according to new figures from Oliver Wyman's ongoing global consumer survey.
That may suggest people will be willing to look for new options later this year.
Yes, but: There's a gender gap. Men are 1.5 times more optimistic than women about their financial wellbeing and 1.2 times more optimistic than women about their professional career, per the survey.
What to watch: A key part of rebuilding after COVID-19 will be ensuring companies do not create second-class citizens in a hybrid workplace, and that workers — particularly women — have equitable opportunities, said Ana Kreacic, partner and chief operating officer of the Oliver Wyman Forum.

GFMC on-site Report from Sumatra
The following report has been based on a helicopter survey around Simpang Kubu, west of Dumai and north of Duri, in the center of the current smoke and haze pollution (geographic location: 01 41.986′ N – 100 53.096′ E). In this region some equipment and ca. 100 firefighters are working on the fires. Reinforcement of Malaysian firefighters may assist the local crews.
The fires are predominantly typical, very numerous small-scale land-clearing fires. At moment the contribution to the smoke by large-scale "industrial" land-clearing in this area is not clear, but it occurred in neighbouring areas earlier this year. Hundreds of individual fires that are burning in the area currently and the new ones that continue to be lit by locals are difficult if not impossible to control.
The report indicates that no forest is burning. Fires occur rather in grasslands (resulting from previous land-clearings), scrub land (belukar), woody slash from secondary forest re-growth, some 2-4 year old palm oil plantations. On late 15 August 2005 winds are reverse from what they were a few days ago, (currently blowing towards NW instead of NE in the past days, see below).
South of Simpang Kubu some scattered rainshowers have been recorded beginning 11 August 2005, but prior to this there were 12 – 20 days without rain in some places. Currently smouldering fires contribute significantly to the regional smoke-haze.
Latest satellite scenes:
The latest satellite imagery, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite on 16 August 2005, shows various fires burning in Sumatra and illustrates the smoke plume trajectory from those peat fires.
Although it is sometimes difficult to distinguish smoke from clouds, the infrared-enhanced view can penetrate the smoke in places. In this type of image, vegetation is bright green, clouds are white or light blue, and smoke becomes almost transparent in many places. Water is dark blue (nearly black).

Having bicycles readily available to anyone with a credit or debit card at 332 New York City locations is a siren song to the clueless. People who should not be permitted to walk in New York City, let alone ride, suddenly have easy access to 6,000 shiny blue bikes. In one famous incident, some dimwit tried to ride a Citi Bike across the Brooklyn Bridge on the traffic-clogged roadway instead of on the elevated bike and pedestrian path. Fortunately, Good Samaritans on the path above helped the poor schmo by hauling his 43-pound bike up from the roadway and over a fence. So, if you feel compelled to hate bike-sharing programs, there's always a reason.
To me, however, this new transportation network has been a revelation. Since it opened for business in May, it has changed the character of the New York City neighborhoods where it's available and infused the streets with an unprecedented civility. The first time I rode one of the Citibank-branded bikes, I felt as if I were astride something bigger, and in certain respects better, than my vintage three-speed. The bike feels substantial. Originally designed for Montreal's Bixi system, this urban machine forces you to sit upright. There's something almost stately about its ride. It has three speeds, and while the lower gears pretty much compensate for the bike's heft, it never goes fast. A slower rider is, by definition, a more polite rider.
But the beauty of the Citi Bike is not so much the bike—although I love its bungee-cord-equipped, handle-bar-mounted luggage rack, and its flashing LED lights (they remind me of the toy trucks Hess gas stations sell at Christmas)—but the system. As an annual member, I can stick my plastic key card in a rack a few blocks from my home in Williamsburg, pedal over the Williamsburg Bridge (getting passed by just about everyone), and dock it at West 21st Street and Sixth Avenue, near where I teach, and never have to think about it again. Very liberating.
The point is, this isn't about bicycles. It's about transit. Citi Bike adds another layer to New York City's transportation infrastructure. Greenfield sees bike sharing as part of the emergence of a phenomenon he calls "transmobility," in which "information is the substance of the new mobility." What he means is that existing systems, like the buses, subways, streets, and sidewalks, are part of a larger network that now includes bikes. The various components are woven together by new navigation apps such as Citymapper that merge every form of transportation data into a single platform. "Together they form a field condition that helps people compose journeys in real time with an astonishing degree of suppleness and flexibility," Greenfield says.
His argument is that bike sharing makes existing transit systems better. In the parlance of planning, bike sharing can take commuters "the last mile" from bus stop or subway station to home. At least 35 U.S. cities (and more than 500 worldwide) have implemented bike sharing; compared to conventional forms of transit, these systems are a bargain. "From a political perspective, it's an extremely cheap way to make a lasting and high-profile mark on a city," says Alison Cohen, director of bike-sharing services for Toole Design, a firm that specializes in planning for bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. "The amount you get for your investment in bike share is huge compared to expanding a subway system or building another mile of road." She estimates that it costs about $10 million to get a 200-station bike-sharing system up and running (versus, say, $4.45 billion for the first mile and a half of New York City's Second Avenue subway).
Citibank provided $41 million in sponsorship funds to purchase the Citi Bikes and stations; rider membership fees are expected to cover day-to-day operations.
Samponaro is working with a number of neighborhood bike groups "trying to crack that affordability and access nut." She points out that Citi Bike isn't prohibitively expensive if you buy a $95 annual pass (compared to a day rate of $9.95 or a weekly rate of $25). And it's even cheaper if you buy the $60 annual pass available to residents of public housing and members of certain community credit unions. But to take advantage of the discount, you have to know about it. The Citi Bike street kiosks just dispense daily and weekly passes, and the setup is not particularly user-friendly. My one attempt to use the kiosk (rather than my home computer, tablet, or phone) was undermined by sun glare and a screen positioned well below eye level.
Indeed, the problem with transmobility is that those without money and digital acumen get left behind. If you're not part of the System with a capital S—if, like many people in this country, you can't afford to have a bank account—you can't use a bike sharing system either. And, for now, Citi Bike is only in Manhattan south of 59th Street and a few of the most prosperous Brooklyn neighborhoods. Real transit goes everywhere and is available to everyone.
That said, I remember being in Paris shortly after the launch of Vélib' in 2007 and watching Parisians blithely cycle through their city as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The Vélib' riders didn't exude any of the macho vibes I had associated with New York's cyclists. They possessed a grace and fluidity. This fluidity is the thing I've observed—and felt—in New York City lately.
Sure, the transition has been going on for decades. Back in the 1980s bike messengers and their kamikaze culture ruled the streets. In more recent years, the city's Department of Transportation, under Janette Sadik-Khan, began redistributing the asphalt, and ridership among civilians spiked. If you pedal across the Williamsburg Bridge at 8:30 a.m. in decent weather, you'll find yourself in a dense stream of bicycle traffic reminiscent of Amsterdam.
Now, when I cruise on one of the blue bikes through the heart of Manhattan, I feel as if I've pedaled into the city of the very near future. There's a surprising sweetness and generosity to the whole premise. The introduction of bike sharing is transformational, and not just because it's a brilliant marriage of high and low technologies. Or because it represents the mainstreaming of the bicycle as a real form of transportation. Bike sharing is transformational precisely because it encourages the clueless to ride.

More Plateaus for Gas Prices
April 15, 2010 Weekly Fuel Prices Report, Gas Prices
(LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2010) –Motorists continue to pay much the same price at the pump as they have for the last month during a rare springtime plateau in the Southland for gas prices, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California's Weekend Gas Watch.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $3.095 per gallon, which is four-tenths of a cent less than last week, 2.4 cents more than last month, and 77 cents higher than last year. In San Diego, the price is $3.119, which is two-tenths of a cent more than last week's price, 3.7 cents above last month, and 76 cents higher than last year. On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.175, three-tenths of a cent more than last week, five cents higher than a month ago, and 76 cents above last year. In the Inland Empire, the average per gallon price is $3.094, which is eight-tenths of a cent less than last week, two cents more than last month, and 77 cents more than last year.
"Prices in Washington, Utah and Idaho are now very similar to Southern California prices because local prices have remained stable while other states have experienced a more typical springtime spike," said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring.
The Weekend Gas Watch monitors the average price of gasoline. As of 12 p.m. on April 15, averages are:

A 76-year-old female patient visited our clinic owing to pain in the left maxilla. She had a fistula in the buccal gingiva between tooth #25 and position #24. There were implants in positions #24 and 23. Tooth #25 already had a crown. The tooth had been affected by secondary caries earlier and had been repaired. A periapical radiograph showed an active inflammatory process in progress from the endodontically treated tooth that greatly worsened the prognosis and could have adversely affected the implants. The prognosis was therefore considered poor and we decided to extract the tooth.
A 70-year-old female patient visited our clinic owing to a fractured maxillary first molar. Tooth #24 had previously had a large composite restoration that was no longer in place at the time of the dental appointment.
A 75-year-old female patient visited our dental clinic reporting a loose crown on tooth #26. The tooth had been endodontically treated in the past and had a carbon-fibre post. The tooth had been prosthetically restored and presented severe caries without early apical destruction or alteration. The patient had previously had a gold crown on the tooth.
Rehabilitating both jaws of a patient with a poor oral situation is already a challenge in itself. But we wanted to go even further by trying immediate loading using Straumann BLX implants, which are excellent for this kind of work because of their macro-geometry.
The digitalisation of the workflow in dentistry has gained ground in recent years owing to the technical advances in regards to intraoral scanning and software programmes. Here, Drs Miguel Stanley, Ana Gomes Paz, Inês Miguel, and Christian Coachman outline a correction of a patient's vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) that was conducted using a completely digital workflow.
Thanks to the very high accuracy of modern intra-oral scanners, excellent design software and reliable production systems, restoring an implant with a chairside model is now a reliable treatment with numerous advantages for the patient. The same-day solution with final materials produces excellent implant crowns in a chairside environment.
Torsional resistance of two nickel-titanium rotary instruments: A comparative study
This study explores how heat treatment less significantly influences (increasing or decreasing) torsional resistance when compared to the high increase in flexibility and fatigue resistance reported in many published articles. Moreover, torsional fracture occurs extremely rapidly when an instrument's tip becomes blocked.
Straumann Pro Arch concept with fully guided implant and abutment placement
In cases of severe posterior bone atrophy, Straumann Pro Arch is a solution that helps achieve fixed restoration for the patient. Straumann Guided Surgery and the coDiagnostiX planning software (Dental Wings) can produce predictable results in cases of complex bone anatomy or when implants are placed such to obtain planned multi-unit angulation. With CARES Visual (Straumann), we can obtain a precise framework fit on the original components, which is fundamental for the final restoration.

I have done all the solution but no one is working. i have searched over google and searched on stackoverflow also. But no solution is working.

A: If you are sure the extension created the problem. You need to disable the extension and try again.
For this you need to follow these steps

*

*Go to the root directory of Magento

*Open the directory app/etc/modules/.

*You can find a file with a name Ksv_Attributemanager.xml there. Open that file.

*There you can see a code like this <active>true</active>. Put false there.

*Clear the cache and load the page again.

Let me know whether it makes any difference.
EDIT
If you didn't find such file, then any one in those file is contributed by that extension. What you need to do is, open all files which does not start with Mage, and check for this code.
<config>
    <modules>
        <Ksv_Attributemanager>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>community</codePool>
        </Ksv_Attributemanager>
    </modules>
</config>

There may be a depend node present along with this one. If you find such code in any one of the file, put false instead true and try again. (If this code present, that means that file is a part of that custom extension)

A: If you want to disabled the new extension. You can disable global configuration for that module so the module doesn't load by Magento.
Open global configuration file of the new extension:
Example:
Go to path app\etc\modules\New_Extension.xml
Set tag active to false.
<config>
    <modules>
        <New_Extension>
           <active>false</active>
            <codePool>community</codePool>
        </New_Extension>
    </modules>
</config>

If you get error while install new extension.
The new extension have to get data from database and You have not installed it so the error occur. You can check Magento Setup Resources for that extension.


Today's automobiles are incredibly advanced, but that doesn't make them invincible, meaning they still require driver attention and routine maintenance and repairs. While they may be full of exciting features, there is one system that is still more important than all the others; the brakes. The airbags, seatbelts and other safety features are great in the event of an accident, but it is the brakes that can actually prevent one from occurring. If you ever experience any of the following issues be sure to reach out to your local mechanic to schedule expert brake repair.
One of the more common signs of brake trouble are strange noises that occur when you apply the brakes. Most often they can be described as grinding noises or squealing noises. This generally indicates that your car's brake pads have worn low and and metal is grinding on metal. Be sure to get to the shop as soon as possible to have them replaced.
If your car's brake pedal seems to rest closer to the floor than it used to it may be caused by a brake fluid leak. This is extremely dangerous and you should not drive your vehicle if this issue is present. Alternatively, it may simply mean that the brake pads are very low and need to be replaced.
When you hit the brakes your car should keep moving straight forward, or in whichever direction you were currently steering. If the vehicle tries to pull to the left or right it may indicate uneven brake pad wear. Other issues could be a stuck or malfunctioning wheel cylinder or impurities in the brake fluid.
A shaky brake pedal or steering wheel caused by braking may indicate warped brake rotors. This can happen during normal braking circumstances over a long period of time. It is best to have them replaced as soon as possible.
Your car's dashboard has a number of warning lights to let you know of potential problems. The one related to brake trouble reads ABS, which stands for anti-lock braking system. If this light comes on be sure to head to the shop for proper diagnostics right away.
Should you ever think that your car is having brake trouble do not hesitate to get to a reputable auto repair shop. For expert brake repair in Lancaster, PA, head to McKonly's Garage. We offer complete auto repair for all makes and models at our family owned facility. Give us a call at (717) 208-8210 to schedule auto repair in Lancaster today!

Aquinas on Emotion's Participation in Reason aims to present Aquinas's answer to the perennial and now popular question: In what way can the emotions be rational? For Aquinas, the starting point of this inquiry is Aristotle's claim (EN. I. 13) that there are three parts to the soul: 1) the rational part, 2) the non-rational part which can participate in reason, and 3) the non-rational part that does not participate in reason. It is the extent to which the second part (the sense appetites, the seat of the emotions) participates in reason that the emotions can become rational. However, immediately after Aristotle introduces his tripartite division of the soul, he warns that one need not delve into the details of the division or the participation. Aquinas, however, ignores Aristotle, and uses his precise metaphysics of participation within in his sophisticated anthropology to great effect in his ethics. Unlike Aristotle, to fully understand Aquinas's thinking on how the emotions can become rational, we simply must delve into the kinds of precisions that Aristotle thinks are misplaced. When Aquinas's views emerge from these precisions, he has a surprisingly level-headed and commonsense view of how the emotions can become rational. On this point, he is more pessimistic than Aristotle and more optimistic than Kant; he is certainly not, as is he is often thought to be, the faithful follower of Aristotle and the polar opposite of Kant. Nicholas Kahm argue that Aquinas has a realistic and plausible view of how far reason can go in shaping our emotions. Furthermore, his plausible views can accommodate the serious current challenge raised against virtue ethics from social psychology. The method has mainly been a careful reading of primary texts, but unlike the rest of the scholarship on Aquinas's ethics, Kahm is particularly sensitive to Aquinas's historical and philosophical development.
Nicholas Kahm is Henry G. Fairbanks Visiting Scholar in Residence at St. Michael's College, VT.

USA/KOR-Auto supplier announces $70M expansion for Auburn facility
An east Alabama auto supplier has announced plans to expand its facility in Auburn.
Shinhwa Auto USA Corporation announced Monday that it will beef up its manufacturing operation by adding high-pressure aluminum die casting and associated post processing.
"Shinhwa has been a great addition to Auburn's high-tech manufacturing base since they chose Auburn for their first U.S. operation in 2019," said Auburn Mayor Ron Anders. "We are excited they have decided to invest an additional $70 million and create some 48 jobs over the next two years. This is just another example of the impact a strong, diversified industrial base has on our local economy now and for years to come."
A city official said this investment will enhance Shinhwa's capabilities in Auburn while maintaining their commitment to highly automated, technology-driven manufacturing.
"The addition of high-pressure die casting capabilities will allow us to provide additional Made in Alabama components to our client base," said Daejin Park, president of Shinhwa US Auto Corp. "Thanks to the supportive environment we have experienced here in Auburn, we are able to continue to grow and invest with confidence."
The company makes parts for Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It opened its Auburn facility in 2019.
The expansion will create nearly 50 new jobs. For a list of open jobs at the facility,

Matteo Ricci, S.J. embodied the values of a global scholar through his service as an Italian Jesuit missionary to China from 1582-1610. By learning the local language and culture, he built significant mutually beneficial relationships. He became a scholar in the Confucian tradition and advisor to the emperor. By expanding his knowledge of China, Ricci helped expand China's knowledge of the world. This was exemplified by creating the first Chinese dictionary in a European language. Ricci's ability to bridge Chinese and Western cultures demonstrates the vital intercultural competencies necessary to work across differences. Today he serves as a model for cross-cultural understanding and his life exemplifies the men and women for others ethos.

Yesterday, Regent Seven Seas Cruises celebrated the cut of the first piece of steel on its newest vessel, Seven Seas Explorer. A vessel they say will be the most luxurious in the world.
The new Seven Seas Explorer will be 54,000 gross tons and will carry just 750 guests, allowing for what the line says will be the highest space ratios and staff-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry.
The ceremony took place at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa, Italy. Master sommelier Michela Cimatoribus released the cork from a magnum of Krug Grande Cuvée, initiating a laser, which cut the ceremonial first piece of steel for the new ship. Shortly after, Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, Archbishop of Genoa blessed the piece of metal.
Seven Seas Explorer shall make her debut during the summer of 2016, and will be Regent Seven Seas first new vessel in more than a decade. She will offer all-suite accommodation across 369 separate suites, which will range from 300 to 1,500 square feet. She will also offer guest's six open-seating gourmet restaurants, the world famous Canyon Ranch SpaClub and a very impressive two-story theatre. Seven Seas Explorer will also take the title as the most expensive luxury vessel ever built at $450-million.
The addition of Seven Seas Explorer will boost Regent's fleetwide passenger capacity by approx. 40%.
Regent Seven Seas quotes itself as "the world's most luxurious cruise line" with fares including flights, excursions in every port, wines and spirits, gratuities, pre-cruise luxury hotel package and more.
The Cruise Line UK will begin taking reservations for the maiden voyage and inaugural season for Seven Seas Explorer in early 2015, however, you can register your interest with us today by calling one of our Cruise Experts on 0800 008 6677.

I don't know but it is an old one, Photoshow 3 I think. I bought it yrs ago, now with a different computer, I don't even have photoshow. I was hoping there was a way to view the movies I created on this new computer. thanks.
What format are the saved PhotoShows? PhotoShow 3 was before my time. Go to the protoShow and right click on it. It should tell you what format, go to details also and post a screen shot of what you see.
Could it be PhotShow 4 or 5, that is as far back as these forums (and possibly experience) goes.
It could be Photo 4. Thanks.
My only suggestion at this point and not have you spend any $$ would be to download the "free" PhotoShow and see if it will open that file. Get the fre version here. Let us know what happens.
I downloaded the trial version as you suggested. I could open the file using the Photoshow program. Now, is there a way to get the pictures off. I really appreciate your help.
Please explain what I bolded. I don't have the free version. Are there options in step 3? What are they? How important are the pictures and do you want to spend any money?


Summary: The Old Testament commandment was "Don't commit adultery" but Jesus goes beyond the command to expose the heart-attitude of lust which leads to adultery.
(1) Channel your energy through physical work and spiritual service.
(2) Don't seek to be married, seek to love and let marriage come as a response.
(3) Don't love the world's system. Its values are like shifting sand.
(4) Program your mind with the Word of God.
(5) Recognize that while you are single, God has chosen for you to abstain from sexual relations.
(6) Avoid potentially dangerous situations. Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness.
(7) Thank and praise God for the state you're in and be content (Philippians 4:11-13).
That was for singles who want to get into a marriage. But what if you are a married person who wants to get out of the marriage? Is divorce an option? Well, the Bible teaches us in Malachi chapter two that "God hates divorce". A lot of people like to quote that verse but few are familiar with its context. Here is God's position on divorce in its context.
In chapter two of Malachi the prophet was communicating God's anger because His people were constantly breaking His laws and covenants.
Mal 2:11 The people of Judah have broken their promise to God and done a horrible thing in Jerusalem and all over the country. They have defiled the Temple which the LORD loves. Men have married women who worship foreign gods.
Mal 2:12 May the LORD remove from the community of Israel those who did this, and never again let them participate in the offerings our nation brings to the LORD Almighty.
Mal 2:13 This is another thing you do. You drown the LORD's altar with tears, weeping and wailing because He no longer accepts the offerings you bring Him.
Mal 2:14 You ask why He no longer accepts them. It is because He knows you have broken your promise to the wife you married when you were young. She was your partner, and you have broken your promise to her, although you promised before God that you would be faithful to her.
The men of Judah were weeping and wailing because God was no longer accepting their offerings. He was no longer blessing them because they had broken their marital vows to their wives and more importantly, they were unfaithful to God.
Mal 2:15 Didn't God make you one body and spirit with her? What was His purpose in this? It was that you should have children who are truly God's people. So make sure that none of you breaks his promise to his wife.
Malachi goes on to say, "It was that you should have children who are truly God's people. So make sure that none of you breaks his promise to his wife." What we are being told here is that unfaithfulness in marriage has a devastating impact on the family and the rearing of children. Divorce decimated families in Malachi's day and it still destroys families today.
Even if the marriage is saved, it is never the same especially when unfaithfulness and adultery occurs. There is a loss of love; there is a loss of trust; there is a loss of security. And ultimately, all this "loss" affects the children, who have the unique ability to sense something has gone wrong…to feel that something is missing.
As we continue in Malachi 2:16 we find these infamous and cutting and convicting words: "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel. "I hate it when one of you does such a cruel thing to his wife. Make sure that you do not break your promise to be faithful to your wife."
The Old Testament commandment was "Don't commit adultery" but Jesus goes beyond the command to expose the heart-attitude of lust which leads to adultery.

Q: Pandas - Writing an excel file containing unicode - IllegalCharacterError I have the following code:

How can I write a pandas dataframe containing unicode to an excel file?

A: The same problem happened to me. I solved it as follows:
First, install python package xlsxwriter:
pip install xlsxwriter

Second, replace the default engine 'openpyxl' with 'xlsxwriter':
df.to_excel("test.xlsx", engine='xlsxwriter')

A: Not a Unicode issue as such... \x16 (or in Unicode strings \u0016 refers to the same character) is ASCII control code 22 (SYN). Pandas says it's invalid to have control codes (other than tab and newlines) in an Excel file, and though I don't know much about Excel files it would certainly be impossible to include them in an XML 1.0 file, which is what's inside a xlsx.
So most likely there is no way to include arbitrary character sequences (with control codes) in an Excel. You should filter them out before writing, or if you really need to preserve the original data use some form of ad hoc encoding recognised only by your application.

A: I've answered a similar question at this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63950544/1851492, below is the same content.

If you don't want to install another excel writer engine (e.g. xlsxwriter), you may try to remove these illegal characters by looking for the pattern which cause IllegalCharacterError raised.
Open cell.py which under the path /path/to/your/python/site-packages/openpyxl/cell/, look for check_string function, you'll see it using a defined regular expression pattern ILLEGAL_CHARACTERS_RE to find those illegal characters. Trying to locate its definition you'll see this line:
ILLEGAL_CHARACTERS_RE = re.compile(r'[\000-\010]|[\013-\014]|[\016-\037]')
This line is what you need to remove those characters. Copy this line to your program and execute below code before your dataframe is writing to excel:
dataframe = dataframe.applymap(lambda x: ILLEGAL_CHARACTERS_RE.sub(r'', x) if isinstance(x, str) else x)
The above line will apply remove those characters to every cells.

A: Use this to remove any error that you might be getting. You can save to excel post this.
df = df.applymap(lambda x: x.encode('unicode_escape').
                 decode('utf-8') if isinstance(x, str) else x)

A: I don't know this particular language, but generally there is an error with excel and UTF8. If you just open a file of UTF8 characters with excel programatically, it will corrupt them (it doesn't seem to handle all the bits in the character, but truncates it to effectively the first 2 and last 2 hex numbers of the 8 present in extended characters).
A work around, to load a utf file correctly into excel, is to get the program insert a macro into your excel sheet after you have loaded it which imports the data. I have some code to do this in C#, if that's any help?
does your input contain any extended characters (i.e. àâäçæèëéêìïîñòöôœûüùÿÀÂÄÇÆÈËÉÊÌÏÎÑÒÖÔŒÛÜÙŸ) and if you take them out, does it work?

A: When I encounter this error, I usually go around it by writing the file to a '.csv instead of '.xlsx' files.
So instead of
yourdataframe.to_excel('Your workbook name.xlsx')

I would do:
yourdataframe.to_csv('Your workbook name.csv')

It appears the way pandas decodes .csv files by default is:
encoding : string, optional
A string representing the encoding to use in the output file,
defaults to 'ascii' on Python 2 and 'utf-8' on Python 3.

On the other hand default encoding of .xlsx files is:
encoding: string, default None
encoding of the resulting excel file. Only necessary for xlwt,
other writers support unicode natively.

This difference is responsible for that error. You will also get the error when you write data with strings that start with - or + to a .xlsx file.

A: for writing a data frame containing unicode characters to multiple sheets in a single excel file below code can be helpful:
%pip install xlsxwriter
from pandas import ExcelWriter
import xlsxwriter
writer = ExcelWriter('notes.xlsx')
for key in dict_df:
        data[key].to_excel(writer, key,index=False,engine='xlsxwriter')
writer.save()

Q: Running a sub a cetain amount of times, each time with different data from a table? Need some help again please? The code below works fine, thanks to UGP. I need to run this piece of code 215 times. Each time the numeric values in "Set sht = Sheet2" must be incremented by 1, and "rplcList = 2" must also be incremented by 1. All this to the point where both values are 216. How do I go about it? I must be quite simple, but for the life of me, I can not figure it out.
Do I create another Module in VB or what?
Sub Multi_FindReplace()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim fndList As Integer
Dim rplcList As Integer
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim myArray As Variant

Set tbl = Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1")
Set TempArray = tbl.DataBodyRange
Set sht = Sheet2
myArray = Application.Transpose(TempArray)
fndList = 1
rplcList = 2

For x = LBound(myArray, 1) To UBound(myArray, 2)
If sht.Name <> tbl.Parent.Name Then
      sht.Cells.Replace What:=myArray(fndList, x),     Replacement:=myArray(rplcList, x), _`
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, _
        SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

        End If
Next x
End Sub

A: You just need to next another loop I think.
This should go through all worksheets from 2 - 216 and increment rplcList as well
Sub Multi_FindReplace()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim fndList As Integer
Dim rplcList As Integer
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim myArray As Variant

Set tbl = Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1")
Set TempArray = tbl.DataBodyRange

myArray = Application.Transpose(TempArray)
fndList = 1
rplcList = 2
SheetNumber = 2

For SheetNumber = 2 To 216
    Set sht = Worksheets(SheetNumber)
    For x = LBound(myArray, 1) To UBound(myArray, 2)
       If sht.Name <> tbl.Parent.Name Then
            sht.Cells.Replace What:=myArray(fndList, x), Replacement:=myArray(rplcList, x), _
            LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, _
            SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

       End If
    Next x
rplcList = rplcList + 1
SheetNumber = SheetNumber + 1
Next

End Sub

A: This will go through each sheet in the workbook.

Q: Full author transaction history in Plone Is there a way to view an authors full transaction history in Plone?
The use case is that i would like to see which user accounts are actually being used, if they have been active, and what parts of the site they are working with/on.
I can visit a particular user account at <site>/author/<username> and this will show me 'Latest content created by this user' as well as a link to 'All content created by ...' but this doesn't show all their transactions eg publishing items, editing existing objects etc.
Is there a way to see the full history of everything a user has done over time?

A: No, there isn't that feature natively in Plone. The author view is simply performing a catalog search with Creator index.
Try to take a look at https://github.com/collective/collective.auditlog (no official release yet). But note that this add-on will store data on external db.
