Institute Community Reporter
A modern twist on tradition: Rediscovering home economies
Working with partners in Hungary as part of the CoSIE project – a three-year programme of work that looks at the co-creation of public services across Europe – the People's Voice Media team have been using Community Reporting techniques to support people living in rural areas of the country to share their stories.
In the CoSIE project, nine pilots are taking place to test out different co-creation methods in different public services and the Hungarian pilot aims to revive forgotten culture of household economy, horticulture and livestock farming on disadvantaged rural areas. The pilot seeks to strengthen the local families (and community) to develop their role in the local economy and enhance the local families' awareness, self-respect and self-subsistence. As part of the pilot, families will be supported to design and implement their own household economy plans with equipment, mentoring and coordination. The pilot will also prepare the local actors (mayors, coordinators) for mobilizing the household economies. Last year, two of our trainers from Budapest went to Solznok to work with families and coordinators involved in the pilot to train them as Community Reporters and capture their stories of the pilot so far. This feature article presents a short analysis of some of the findings that show an interesting dynamic between the desire for a traditional way of life, and the desire to capitalise on it.
A desire for traditional living
One of the most prominent things to come across in the stories is a desire for a traditional, simpler way of life that involves less reliance on existing capitalist structures, and a greater emphasis on self-employment as well as self- and community-sustainability. One chicken-keeping participant mentions the use of traditional feed for his livestock, as well as the fact that they eat green waste from his home and that they are "happy" living freely in his garden. He says this means "the eggs are nice, good and yellow," equating traditional methods with quality. Another participant from Tiszazörs also mentions the use of traditional feed such as barley, wheat, corn, peas, and green food waste for his chickens, as opposed to processed feed, and goes on to explicitly state that he would like to bring back a traditional way of life to his village: "One has to work in this project. It is good to take part in this, also from that aspect that we try to give example to the other inhabitants of the village, by trying to bring back the traditions of village life. That can be crop production or livestock farming." The sense that these traditions have been lost and need to be found again can also be found in the story of a participant in Tiszazörs who says she would like to "help" her community with her knowledge of keeping rabbits, which she describes as "the healthiest meat of all". These stories suggest that the traditional way of living is superior to aspects of contemporary living, that modern changes to this way of life may have been detrimental. This can also be seen in the story of the Jászladány coordinator: "I would surely recommend this project to other people. In the present world, believe, it is absolutely important to produce food, if one can produce something around himself. First, because he will know what he eats, because he produced it, and it will be free of various chemicals, which are not necessarily harmful, but are surely risky, and second, our environment will be nicer. A nicely cultivated garden also looks nice. It is useful, and one will feel better, because he produced something." Here, traditional means of living and production are not just better in terms of economics and the products produced, but also in terms of the environment, and physical and mental wellbeing.
There is a sense throughout the stories that a move away from modern capitalist structures towards more traditional ways of life is preferable. However, there is also a recognition that while these traditions are perceived as "better", they may need to be monetised in some ways in order to be sustained long-term, something the next section will explore.
Expanding and monetising tradition
While the pilot's aim is to have people consume the products they produce and share them among the community, and does not permit them to sell at market, many participants readily discuss how they look forward to being able to expand their operations and/or monetise their products and demonstrate that they are actively planning for it. The woman who keeps rabbits states that she keeps eight female and two male rabbits of various species and would like more. She has also asked for a brushcutter as part of the project so she can collect more grass for their feed quickly and efficiently. A woman who keeps chickens mentions that she plans to get a chicken-plucking machine in a joint project with three other families – a way of modernising traditional methods, making the processing of chickens more efficient and enabling her to process more chickens for eating. She talks about the gradual expansion of her operation: "Every year I add a little more to it. First, I had a few livestock, two hens and a cock, then the neighbours said it is not OK for a cock, six hens are needed. Then I got more, I bought from other households, and then I developed my present livestock, that I have 10-12 hens, six chicken and two cocks." These ways of modernising the traditional methods in order to create expansion is a small-scale reflection of the capitalist model, of increasing operations in order to increase output and profits, although in these cases, the profits would go directly back into the operations or the household economies of the participants. The man who keeps chickens in Tisazörs is keen to plans to do this by selling his chicken's eggs to a local noodle factory (itself a social cooperative) and expanding his livestock roster to include 50 hens producing 400 eggs a week, which will enable him to also sell to local people. Another participant who has found he cannot keep up with the local community's demand for his home-produced eggs actively mentions his desire to be able to expand and turn a profit: "At the moment I have 50 hens and there is a demand for more eggs. Therefore, I am planning to extend the stock. I am planning to buy another 50 hens. The place is given, there is no extra work needed, and I hope it will bring profit."
These stories make clear that even at the traditional, individual, home economics level of production, there is a contemporary, capitalist mindset to maximise production and the ability to make money in order to continue growing operations. They also demonstrate that there is demand within these disadvantaged communities for fresh, home-grown and home-made produce that is often, within contemporary western society, associated with the middle classes and 'hipster' culture, suggesting working class people are ready and willing to reclaim them from gentrification.
Although this is only a short analysis of some of the findings so far, it demonstrates that there is an enthusiams and a sense of pride in what has been achieved and what will be achieved, showing a level of ambition that is not often associated with disadvantaged communities who are often overlooked or stereotyped as wanting "handouts". These stories demonstrate a keenness to provide for oneself that is not always reported.

Q: Adding a click event listener on WKWebView not working I am working on an app that is using a WKWebView and I am trying to add an event listener when the user clicks on a button on the web page. The button as no id so I am working with the class.
I am able to set it up properly on chrome using the inspect console:

For my Swift development I have tried to add a function inside a WKWebView extension so it can be reused like that:
extension WKWebView {
    /// Adds a event listener that will be call on WKScriptMessageHandler - didReceiveMessage
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - elementID: The name of the element
    ///   - callbackID: The ID for the callback
    ///   - elementType: The type of element to get
    ///   - completion: Callback triggered went script has been appended to WKWebView
    //NOT WORKING
    func addEventListener(id: String, callbackID: String, elementType: ElementType, handler: WKScriptMessageHandler, completion: ((Error?)->Void)?) {
        let scriptString: String

        switch elementType {
        case .id:
            scriptString = """
                document.getElementById('\(id)').addEventListener('click', function(){
                    webkit.messageHandlers.refreshWebPage.postMessage("status":"ok");
                });
                """
        case .class:
            scriptString = """
                document.getElementsByClassName('\(id)')[0].addEventListener('click', function(){
                    webkit.messageHandlers.refreshWebPage.postMessage("status":"ok");
                });
                """
        }

        let script = WKUserScript(source: scriptString, injectionTime: .atDocumentStart, forMainFrameOnly: false)
        configuration.userContentController.addUserScript(script)
        configuration.userContentController.add(handler, name: "postMessage")
    }
}

Then, on the UIViewController, that contains the WKWebView:
//MARK: WKNavigationDelegate implementation
extension ArtpadWebViewController: WKNavigationDelegate {
    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
        webView.addEventListener(id: "top_left_menu", callbackID: backCallbackID, elementType: .class, handler: self, completion: nil)
    }
}

//MARK: WKScriptMessageHandler implementation
extension ArtpadWebViewController: WKScriptMessageHandler {
    func userContentController(_ userContentController: WKUserContentController, didReceive message: WKScriptMessage) {
        print("HO!")
    }
}

However, the WKScriptMessageHandler function is not called... I have been trying to different solutions I found but non of them has worked. What am I missing?
Thank you

A: For some reason, Everything started working after adding the code after evaluating that javascript. I am still unable to know why.
Here is the code for the full extension so far:
extension WKWebView {
    /// Type of HTML element to get from DOM
    enum ElementType {
        /// ID Element
        case id
        /// Class element
        case `class`
    }

    /// List of errors for WKWebView injection
    enum InjectionError: Error {
        /// The Listener is already added
        case listenerAlreadyAdded
    }

    /// Cahnges the CSS Visibiltiy
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - elementID: The name of the element
    ///   - isVisible: Wether or not is visible
    ///   - elementType: The type of element to get
    ///   - completion: Callback triggered went script has been appended to WKWebView
    func changeCSSVisibility(elementID: String, isVisible: Bool, elementType: ElementType, completion: ((Error?)->Void)?) {
        let script: String

        switch elementType {
        case .id:
            script = "document.getElementById('\(elementID)').style.visibility = \(isVisible ? "'visible'":"'hidden'");"
        case .class:
        script =
            """
            [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.\(elementID)'), function (el) {
              el.style.visibility = \(isVisible ? "'visible'":"'hidden'");
            });
            """
        }

        evaluateJavaScript(script, completionHandler: { (result, error) in
            completion?(error)
        })
    }

    /// Adds a event listener that will be call on WKScriptMessageHandler - didReceiveMessage

        switch elementType {
        case .id:
            element = "document.getElementById('\(elementID)')"
        case .class:
            element = "document.getElementsByClassName('\(elementID)')[0]"
        }

        let scriptString = """
            function callback () {
                console.log('\(callbackID) clicked!')
                window.webkit.messageHandlers.\(callbackID).postMessage({
                    message: 'WKWebView-onClickListener-\(callbackID)'
                });
            }

            \(element).addEventListener('click', callback);
            """

        if configuration.userContentController.userScripts.first(where: { $0.source == scriptString }) == nil {
            evaluateJavaScript(scriptString) { [weak self] (result, error) -> Void in
                guard let self = self else { return }

                if let error = error {
                    completion?(error)
                } else {
                    self.configuration.userContentController.removeScriptMessageHandler(forName: callbackID)
                    self.configuration.userContentController.add(handler, name: callbackID)

Rape: Protest staged in Old Trafford over Ronaldo sex assault claims
A banner supporting a woman who accused footballer Cristiano Ronaldo of an alleged rape has been flown over Old Trafford during his return game for Manchester United.
The Level Up feminist group said they wanted to "remind crowds" of rape allegations against him.
Kathryn Mayorga said she was assaulted by him at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
In 2019, US prosecutors said Ronaldo, who denied the claims, would not face charges.
A plane with the banner "Believe Kathryn Mayorga" was flown after the start of the game against Newcastle United.
The Portuguese player has scored twice in his first Manchester United game in 12 years.
Ms Mayorga reportedly reached an out-of-court settlement with Ronaldo in 2010, involving a £288,000 ($375,000) payment for agreeing never to publicise the allegations.
His lawyers have previously said the non-disclosure agreement was "by no means a confession of guilt".
They said the player was following advice "to put an end to the outrageous accusations made against him, in order precisely to avoid attempts […] to destroy a reputation built thanks to hard work, athletic ability and behavioural correction".
Why Fatai Osho resigned as Reno Stars coach
In 2018, Ms Mayorga sought to re-open the case, with her lawyer saying she had been inspired by the #MeToo movement against sexual violence.
Las Vegas police, who then investigated the allegations, said they "cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt" and therefore they would not press charges against Ronaldo.
A local district attorney's office said Ms Mayorga reported an assault in 2009, but refused to state where it had happened or name the attacker, so police were unable "to conduct any meaningful investigation".
Ronaldo has not denied that the two met but said the encounter, when he was about to leave his first Manchester United stint for Real Madrid, was consensual.
In 2018, he tweeted: "I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in."
Level Up said they wanted to "disrupt the fanfare" around the player's heavily-publicised return to Manchester United.
The group's co-director Janey Starling said they wanted to send "a message to football that rape allegations can't be kicked off the pitch".

I thought they were trying to kill/phase out the forums… 😛 evidence that this downtime only showed up in the EQ2 forums because a PLAYER posted it….
Day 1 had login server issues, denying some/many players double ascension. Day 7 has five (5) hours of maintenance, denying some/many players double ascension.
With the Daybreak definition of "Week" being five (5) days, the following will be interesting.
Great time to do the update…just more good decision making.

Comments: Looking at this dreambook has brought back memories and brought on new feelings, the foremost of which is heaviness of heart over the condemnation of Gary (Jeremiah) Cowen. Nothing was done for the poor man. He was judged for his sins and made to suffer, but it was not God who judged and punished.
What the commenter is trying to convey is how Chicago UBF members might have internally justified their mistreatment of Gary Cowen. In their minds, he had it coming for whatever sins he may have commited or whatever sins they were told he commited.
Apparently, this peculiar (and quite disturbing) kind of moral reasoning has not died in UBF. A ~26 year veteran of Chicago UBF, a cancer survivor herself, was asked recently about my account of the mistreatment of Mr. Cowen. She reportedly did not deny that such things were done to Mr. Cowen, but she also saw the need to make it known that Mr. Cowen was not an innocent victim of the mistreatment, that Mr. Cowen was hardly a "righteous" man. No remorse. No shame. Instead, more blaming of a victim, someone who was treated inhumanely (to put it charitably) by Sam Lee and his all-too-willing accomplices in Chicago UBF.
"Some ways to identify high-pressure groups"
Observe the group's responses to you and how you feel. If you can answer "yes" to three or more of these statements, you should seriously reconsider your involvement.
. The group seems to be perfect. Everyone agrees and follows all orders cheerfully.
. The group claims to have "all the answers" to your problems.
. The group offers "instant friendship." They will not take "no" for an answer; invitations are impossible to refuse without feeling guilty and/or ungrateful.
. You are asked to recruit new members soon after joining.
. The group insists on total obedience to their leaders and discourages questions or doubts as signs of weak faith. You may be rejected or shunned if you persist in asking questions.
. Your parents and friends are described as being "unable to understand or help you" with religious matters.
. The group encourages you to put their meetings and activities before all other commitments, including studying.
. The group puts down your past religious, social or political affiliation.
. Your mind is a gift! Don't waste it, use it!
. You don't have to be manipulated!
I have predicted in the past that Sarah Barry, surrounded by the same people who elevated Sam Lee and his misdeeds to untouchability with endless and exaggerated praise, would get worse, not better over time. This goes beyond her tolerating (even encouraging) the use of her "official" title, "Mother" Barry.
Tuesday this week, S.Barry came to our center after her trip to Philipine UBF conference. She will going to give her life testimony regarding UBF (10 pieces serially) in the major christian newspaper soon.
By the way, as my wife told to me yesterday, when SB came to our UBF center (snu3.ubf.or.kr), she told all the members sit together round. She recommended all say about his/her yearly key verses. During that time, one woman leader said to her "I admire you" (Surely she said this from her sincere mind, not from a unsound mind). About hearing this, SB said (I was absent at that time) "you shoudn't say such thing to me. you should say such thing only to Jesus." I beleve SB's sincerety in this event.
So as she was telling a Korean UBF admirer to not express such admiration for her, she had probably already submitted a 10-part life story to the Kookmin Ilbo newspaper (not a Christian newspaper as originally claimed) for publication. And this 10-part life story (reportedly a whitewashing of UBF's long rap sheet of abusive behavior, full of self praise, praise for Sam Lee, praise for UBF) was certainly required reading for virtually every Korean UBF and Korean-speaking USA UBF member.
FYI- here is a portion of the most recent Chicago ubfcult Sunday message. Try to read it without getting naseous. After reading, then decide who is humble and who is not.
Look at verse 48: "for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed¡¦" Mary remembered her humble state–an ordinary girl from Galilee. God made her a truly blessed woman from generations to generations. Even Moscow taxi drivers carry the picture of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary is worthy to receive all the honor that she deserves as the holy and pure mother of Jesus. The image of praying and devout Mary provides us peace and comfort. We all have this yearning for a holy mother's love. The body of Christ needs mothers of prayer who embrace lonely, broken sinners and wipe out their tears with the holy love of God. Christian churches are blessed and strong with many wonderful mothers of prayer around the world. UBF is no exception. We are blessed with the presence of Mother Sarah Barry and Mother Grace A. Lee.
The human veneration culture of UBF which became so clear to me and disgusted me so much in 2000 is apparently alive and well. It made Sam Lee worse and worse; it seems to be doing the same to Barry.
Unfortunately, not every religious group has your best interests at heart. Groups to avoid have some or all of the following characteristics.
* Pressure and Deception: They use high-pressure recruitment tactics or are not up-front about their motives when they first approach you. SAR members are required to identify themselves on all News and Publications and to be clear and forthright about their motives.
* Totalitarian Worldview: They do not encourage critical, independent thinking. The first goal of higher education is to enable you to think for yourself. Be aware of groups or leaders who try to control your life or who claim to possess the truth exclusively.
* Alienation: They want to choose your friends for you. While all religions have moral guidelines, watch out for groups that encourage you to sever ties with close friends and family who are not members. They are manipulative and extremely dangerous.
* Exploitation: They make unrealistic demands regarding your time and/or money. If participation in a group takes away from your study time, beware. A group or leader that cares about you understands that your studies-your future-are your first priority as a Stanford student. SAR members are strictly forbidden to require dues from student participants.
On a rare occasion when we went to the beach, my parents found a baby crab. They immediately grabbed this crab, took it out of its natural surroundings of Lake Michigan and brought it home. They placed it in an old fish tank and proceeded to feed it. I found it strange that we had a newfound pet in the house since up till now we only had goldfish. A few months after the crab grew a bit from my parents feeding it, they killed and ate it. My siblings and I were shocked and appalled as I'm sure the crab was. But the crab had no say. As far as the crab knew, my parents were doing it a favor by placing it in a new "safe" fish tank away from the dangers of a natural body of water. Similarly, my parents unwittingly brought this baby crab into an even more dangerous environment – a bubble of an existence in a man-made aquarium. This is perhaps the greatest metaphor of my life as a missionary kid. Except this crab escaped before anyone could kill it. [cue violins] Entering the sea of the real world after having been sheltered since birth has been difficult and exciting. There is so much I do not know in this world. I am essentially a blank slate. Everything is new to me. However, my upbringing urges me to examine people's motives. As a skeptic, it is not difficult for me to discern when someone is placed in an unjust situation. The worst scenario possible has already occurred in the bulk of my life through the cult called UBF.

Post occupancy evaluations of buildings are noted for their ability to provide vital feedback regarding a building's performance in use. In addition to obtaining physical measurements of thermal performance and energy consumption, it is crucial to obtain feedback on user experience and satisfaction with the building environment to gain a true picture of the effectiveness of low energy buildings. This paper will report findings of a study aimed at investigating building performance and occupant experience of the Torrent Research Centre in Ahmedabad, India. The Centre comprises six laboratory and office blocks, four of which incorporate a passive downdraft evaporative cooling system (PDEC). Air conditioning is restricted to the two equipment intensive laboratories. While a number of earlier publications have reported on the configuration of the environmental control systems and the thermal performance of this building, this paper will provide insights into the occupants' experience and feedback on the building and will detail the comparative performance of the PDEC and air conditioned (AC) blocks. Occupant perception of overall comfort (summer, winter and monsoon), temperature, air movement and quality, lighting, noise, productivity, health, design, image and workplace needs was evaluated using the Building Use Studies workplace survey.
The co-location of PDEC and AC blocks offers a unique opportunity to compare performance while overcoming issues arising from contextual differences such as conditions of work, attitudes and expectations of employees likely to occur between respondents in different countries. The findings reveal occupant satisfaction in both the PDEC and AC blocks to be well above Building Use Studies' international benchmarks. In addition to their lower energy consumption, the overwhelmingly positive user satisfaction responses of the PDEC blocks validate the integration of alternative climate control systems such as evaporative cooling in contemporary buildings in India.

Brace yourself for endless pandemonium and total destruction as iDreamSky's latest release Buddyman Run hits the app stores.
Ask any developer what the secret is to a truly fun and addictive endless runner and they'll tell you "keep it fast and simple" - a philosophy that's clearly on display with Buddyman Run as you run and shoot your way through over 150 zany missions.
You may remember Buddyman from previous titles in the series as the cute stress relieving punchbag that can take a real kicking and still keep coming back for more. But this is no longer the case as Buddyman has now taken up the role of a hero who deals out his own brand of punishment and mayhem on the world around him.
The game gives you 8 Buddyman characters to choose from, including the original Buddyman as well as 7 others with their own unique attires, including a pirate, astronaut, chef, commando and wizard - each wielding their own unique weapon that you use to take down obstacles as you blast through each level.
The game's developer iDreamSky are confident that Buddyman Run, its third worldwide release, will be a big hit – and even have a special Olympics themed update lined up for the game.
You can download Buddyman Run from the App Store now [buy].

Q: Finding and replacing elements in a list I have to search through a list and replace all occurrences of one element with another. So far my attempts in code are getting me nowhere, what is the best way to do this?
For example, suppose my list has the following integers
>>> a = [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1]

and I need to replace all occurrences of the number 1 with the value 10 so the output I need is
>>> a = [10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10]

Thus my goal is to replace all instances of the number 1 with the number 10.

A: If you have several values to replace, you can also use a dictionary:
a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 3, 2, 6, 1, 1]
replacements = {1:10, 2:20, 3:'foo'}
replacer = replacements.get  # For faster gets.

print([replacer(n, n) for n in a])

> [10, 20, 'foo', 4, 10, 5, 'foo', 20, 6, 10, 10]

Note that this approach works only if the elements to be replaced are hashable. This is because dict keys are required to be hashable.

A: I know this is a very old question and there's a myriad of ways to do it. The simpler one I found is using numpy package.
import numpy

arr = numpy.asarray([1, 6, 1, 9, 8])
arr[ arr == 8 ] = 0 # change all occurrences of 8 by 0
print(arr)

A: My usecase was replacing None with some default value.
I've timed approaches to this problem that were presented here, including the one by @kxr - using str.count.
Test code in ipython with Python 3.8.1:
def rep1(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' List comprehension, new list '''

    return [item if item is not None else replacer for item in lst]

def rep2(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' List comprehension, in-place '''
    lst[:] =  [item if item is not None else replacer for item in lst]

    return lst

def rep3(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' enumerate() with comparison - in-place '''
    for idx, item in enumerate(lst):
        if item is None:
            lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst

def rep4(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using str.index + Exception, in-place '''

    idx = -1
    # none_amount = lst.count(None)
    while True:
        try:
            idx = lst.index(None, idx+1)
        except ValueError:
            break
        else:
            lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst

def rep5(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using str.index + str.count, in-place '''

    idx = -1
    for _ in range(lst.count(None)):
        idx = lst.index(None, idx+1)
        lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst

def rep6(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using map, return map iterator '''

    return map(lambda item: item if item is not None else replacer, lst)

def rep7(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using map, return new list '''

    return list(map(lambda item: item if item is not None else replacer, lst))

lst = [5]*10**6
# lst = [None]*10**6

%timeit rep1(lst)
%timeit rep2(lst)
%timeit rep3(lst)
%timeit rep4(lst)
%timeit rep5(lst)
%timeit rep6(lst)
%timeit rep7(lst)

I get:
26.3 ms ± 163 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
29.3 ms ± 206 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
33.8 ms ± 191 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
11.9 ms ± 37.8 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
11.9 ms ± 60.2 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
260 ns ± 1.84 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
56.5 ms ± 204 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

Using the internal str.index is in fact faster than any manual comparison.
I didn't know if the exception in test 4 would be more laborious than using str.count, the difference  seems negligible.
Note that map() (test 6) returns an iterator and not an actual list, thus test 7.

A: Try using a list comprehension and a conditional expression.
>>> a=[1,2,3,1,3,2,1,1]
>>> [4 if x==1 else x for x in a]
[4, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 4]

A: List comprehension works well, and looping through with enumerate can save you some memory (b/c the operation's essentially being done in place).
There's also functional programming. See usage of map:
>>> a = [1,2,3,2,3,4,3,5,6,6,5,4,5,4,3,4,3,2,1]
>>> map(lambda x: x if x != 4 else 'sss', a)
[1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 'sss', 3, 5, 6, 6, 5, 'sss', 5, 'sss', 3, 'sss', 3, 2, 1]

A: The answers for this old but relevant question are wildly variable in speed.
The fastest of the solution posted by kxr.
However, this is even faster and otherwise not here:
def f1(arr, find, replace):
    # fast and readable
    base=0
    for cnt in range(arr.count(find)):
        offset=arr.index(find, base)
        arr[offset]=replace
        base=offset+1

Here is timing for the various solutions. The faster ones are 3X faster than accepted answer and 5X faster than the slowest answer here.
To be fair, all methods needed to do inlace replacement of the array sent to the function.
Please see timing code below:
def f1(arr, find, replace):
    # fast and readable
    base=0
    for cnt in range(arr.count(find)):
        offset=arr.index(find, base)
        arr[offset]=replace
        base=offset+1

def f2(arr,find,replace):
    # accepted answer
    for i,e in enumerate(arr):
        if e==find:
            arr[i]=replace

def f3(arr,find,replace):
    # in place list comprehension
    arr[:]=[replace if e==find else e for e in arr]

A: You can use the built-in enumerate to get both index and value while iterating the list. Then, use the value to test for a condition and the index to replace that value in the original list:
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1]
>>> for i, n in enumerate(a):
...   if n == 1:
...      a[i] = 10
...
>>> a
[10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10]

A: On long lists and rare occurrences its about 3x faster using list.index() - compared to single step iteration methods presented in the other answers.

A: I might be a dumb-dumb, but I would write a separate, simple function for this:
def convertElements( oldlist, convert_dict ):
  newlist = []
  for e in oldlist:
    if e in convert_dict:
      newlist.append(convert_dict[e])
    else:
      newlist.append(e)
  return newlist

And then call this as needed like so:
a = [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1]
a_new = convertElements(a, {1: 10})
## OUTPUT: a_new=[10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10]


Veilleux, S.; Kim, D.-C.; Sanders, D. B.; Mazzarella, J. M.; Soifer, B. T.
A spectroscopic survey of a sample of 200 luminous IRAS galaxies (LIGs: L_ir_^7^ > 3 x 10^10^ L_sun_; H_0_ = 75 km s^-1^ Mpc^-1^) was carried out using the Palomar 5 meter and University of Hawaii 2.2 m telescopes. Kim et al. (1995) described the data-taking and data-reduction procedures and presented line and continuum measurements extracted from the nucleus of these objects. In this paper, the nuclear data are combined with circumnuclear measurements on 23 of these galaxies to investigate the properties of the line-emitting gas and underlying stellar population in and out of the nucleus. The nuclear spectra of these galaxies were classified as H II region-like" or "AGN-like" using a large number of line-ratio diagnostics corrected for the underlying stellar absorption features. This correction is an important source of errors in some previous studies. The emission-line spectra of many AGNs were found to-be of relatively low ionization level and were therefore classified as LINER. We confirm that both the fraction of LIGs with AGN spectra and the fraction of Seyferts among the AGN increase with infrared luminosity, reaching values of 62% and 54% at the highest observed luminosities, respectively. The fraction of LINERs, on the other hand, is relatively constant at ~27%. The source of the ionization of the emission-line gas often is a function of the distance from the nucleus. Based on the emission-line ratios and the strengths of the stellar absorption features, circumnuclear starburst activity is a common feature of LIGs, regardless of their nuclear spectral types. The emission-line, absorption-line, continuum, radio, and IRAS properties of the LINERs suggest that most of the LINER emission in these infrared-selected galaxies is produced through shock ionization rather than photoionization by a genuine active nucleus. The nuclear region of Seyfert LIGs is found to be slightly less reddened than that of the LINERs and H II galaxies. The dust distribution generally is concentrated toward the nucleus, in agreement with the often peaky distribution of the molecular gas observed in these galaxies. Inverted dust profiles in which the nucleus appears less dusty than the circumnuclear region are observed in only three LIGs, all of which have AGN emission-line characteristics (one Seyfert 2 galaxy and two LINERs). Low nuclear dust content appears to favor the detection of active nuclei. This may be due to selection effects or may reflect real physical differences between these classes of objects: galaxies with Seyfert emission lines may be at a more advanced stage of dust destruction/expulsion than H II LIGs. Complex optical depth effects may also explain these results without invoking a smaller amount of dust in the nucleus. The Hbeta and Mg I b absorption features are stronger in the nuclei of AGNs (especially among the LINERs) than in H II LIGs, suggesting that AGN LIGs are at a more advanced stage of stellar evolution than H II LIGs. Further support for this scenario comes from the fact that AGNs are found more frequently in advanced mergers than H II galaxies (only two Seyfert galaxies are detected in systems with well-separated nuclei). However, this last result may be a luminosity effect rather than an effect related to the dominant nuclear source of ionization. Moreover, the absorption-line data may simply reflect the fact that galaxies with powerful H II regions show evidence for young stars while galaxies with AGNs do not. The radial variations of the Hbeta and Mg I b absorption features indicate the presence of a strong source of featureless continuum in the nucleus of nearly all LIGs, regardless of their nuclear spectral types. Contamination by the circumnuclear starburst prevents us from determining the extent of this continuum source. The [O III] profiles of both Seyfert and LINER LIGs were found to be broader on average than those of H II objects. Nearly 20% of the LIGs in our sample have line widths larger than 600 km s^-1^. We find that most of the galaxies in which we could determine the radial variations of the [O III] line width present broader profiles in the circumnuclear region than at the nucleus. When combined with published data on a few other well-studied LIGs, these results suggest that large-scale nuclear winds are common in these objects and are an efficient way of getting rid of the obscuring material in the nuclear region. The spatially extended LINER emission observed in many of these objects is probably due to shock ionization resulting from the interaction of the wind-accelerated gas with the ambient material of the host galaxy.

Jamie McBain is an interesting and offensively inclined player on a blue line in which he's the third-oldest defender. The Kings are 22-9-4 in the 35 games he's been in the lineup, but with only 14:25 of ice time per game, his own imprint on a game isn't as defined as that laid by, say, Drew Doughty, who averages 26:34 of ice time per night.
But McBain has been good, and Darryl Sutter acknowledged the importance of his role on Wednesday. With his assist Tuesday night, he now has three goals, 12 points and a plus-five rating in his 35 games, numbers that come with a slight caveat due to the easier competition he generally faces.
It's not as if McBain came out of nowhere before his opportunity in Los Angeles; the 28-year-old totaled 18 goals and 67 points in his first 166 NHL games with Carolina.
18 different defensemen have suited up for Los Angeles since the beginning of the 2011-12 season, and McBain's 35 games played with the club ties him with Keaton Ellerby for 11th place in games played over that span. Sutter spoke about Ellerby on Wednesday, as well as the other defenseman who have provided both quality minutes and the depth necessary to win two Stanley Cups over a three-year span filled with extended playoff runs.
That the Kings are finding some success with a younger defense is one of the narratives that will travel with the team for as long as they do so.

Cops: Man Tried To Strangle Prostitute After 30-Plus Encounters In 4 Days
Filed Under:aggravated battery, Criminal Charges, Elgin, prostitute
(CBS Local)
ELGIN, Ill. (STMW) – A 58-year-old Elgin man is facing criminal charges after police said he tried to strangle a prostitute in a motel room after the woman refused additional sex after more than 30 encounters over a four-day period.
Kim P. Brandmire was charged with aggravated battery in the attempted strangulation of the woman, plus two counts of battery and a count of solicitation, all stemming from an incident Sunday, police said.
Officers were called to the Quality Inn, 500 Tollgate Rd. in Elgin, at 9:30 p.m. and a 41-year-old Elgin woman said the two had rented a room at the motel Thursday and Brandmire had paid her to have sex in excess of 30 times in ensuing days.
When she refused to have sex Sunday, police said, Brandmire grabbed the woman by the throat and choked her, police said,
The woman was charged with prostitution, a misdemeanor. Bail for Brandmire was set at $75,000.

Small improvements in the right direction
There's a tendency in web design circles to ditch the old in favor of the new: We'll blow up the archives! We'll cut loose all the legacy code! With a little bit of effort our work can feel fresh and exciting again! A new year, a clean slate, a whole new thing. Yet the more I work on the web, the more I recognize the benefits of tiny, iterative improvements.
I've been thinking about this over the past month or so at Gusto as I've been tidying up The Guide — an internal design tool for the company — and in the introduction I describe it like this:
This is where the documentation for Gusto's design system is archived for safe-keeping; it contains all the assets we need, such as images and illustrations as well as notes on our copywriting style and documentation for our React components. In fact, we like to think of The Guide as a sort of Pokédex.
Small iterations this month include: better URLs, concise documentation, improvements to the typographic hierarchy and copywriting pages, and a prod in the right direction towards a clear navigation that doesn't confuse and demand too much attention. These improvements don't warrant a parade or anything, and that's not why I mention them, instead I've been thinking about how this work relates to a lovely post about some improvements to the 24 Ways website. The designer and front-end developer Paul Robert Lloyd wrote that:
Creating something new will always attract attention and admiration, but there's an under-celebrated nobility in improving what already exists. While not all changes may be visual, they can have just as much impact.
Paul is somewhat of a stickler for improvements like this and in a similar post about another redesign of the 24 Ways website all the way back in 2013, he wrote again in a similar fashion:
I'm a big believer in iteration, and not treating a website as ever being finished.
The reason why I mention this is because I think there's a wild misunderstanding about the way we ought to build websites in the first place. And it sort of goes all the way back to what we call ourselves here in San Francisco: "Product Designers."
I reckon this frames our work as artists and maestros that can paint beautiful pictures — but instead, we should be thinking in terms of maintenance and building on top of what already exists. So the trick then, is this: patience and a healthy dose of restraint but also a constant effort to change the way we work.
Let's help everyone to contribute small improvements in the right direction.
On this note, I think the only letters that I've noticed this week have been David Jonathan Ross' Extraordinaire:
David writes about this new typeface (which was published via his most excellent Font of the Month club that you should sign up for if you haven't just yet):
Extraordinaire is an adjustable hairline sans serif inspired by single-stroke lettering of the Art Deco period, with particular influences from the diamond-shaped forms found in the center of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
Although I'm not a big fan of art deco styled letters in general, there is something glamorous, charming and almost playful about these letters: the ampersand and the letter M are tiny wonders in particular.

Arkansas Classic Black Angus Forced to Seek New Home.
The longstanding burger and steak joint that has served Little Rock since 1960 is looking a new place to move after the new owners of the building decide to have the eatery move out.
As far as Black Angus is concerned, it may be the most historically important burger joint in Little Rock. The conjuring of Goin Oliver Harper, it's a direct decendant of the legendary Lido Inn and, in turn, a response to the Minute Man. There's a nice history here, if you'd like to take a look.
Harper opened the cooking-over-the-coals Black Angus restaurant back in 1960. It had several locations over the years, including the edifice at the northwest corner of Fair Park and Markham, catty-corner from War Memorial Stadium. By the time I got my own wheels at the cusp of the 1990s, it had moved to a longterm spot on South University. The move to the former hosting building of two formerly ill-fated restaurant chain operations - Boston Market and Kenny Rogers' Roasters - came in 1999.
Black Angus moved to that location when that stretch of Rodney Parham was hot in the late 1990s. Back then, a K-Mart was the anchor, along with a Harvest Foods and a Showbiz Pizza Place wedged in-between. All three of those businesses have closed now, with a fitness center in the old grocery slot and a new medical development going into the other spaces.
A few days ago, a message was posted on the Remember in Little Rock list, asking if anyone had heard that Black Angus was moving. A followup post confirming the move was posted to the Black Angus Facebook page. Dozens have shared and hundreds have responded.
Karla Creasey reached out to me to share what happened. She tells me the new owners of the building have given Black Angus until March 31st to move.
"It was completely unexpected," Creasey says.. "Everything was fine and wonderful."
The Premiere Medical Plaza, the project within the redeveloped space, is at completion by Premier Gastroenterology Associates and Newmark Moses Tucker Partners. With 100,000sf of office and clinical space, the plaza is bound to draw folks in. The restaurant even happily welcomed the development on its Facebook page when it was announced.

redevelopeed. The new Premier Medical
Plaza is at the bottom. Black Angus is
at top, just left of center.
"It started September first," Creasey continues. "Our lease was up and we went into negotiations. They (Newman Moses Tucker Partners) wanted me to pay a part of the real estate tax on the property, but they couldn't tell us (Creasy or her attorney) how much that would be. They wanted us to pay a percentage of the property maintenance, but couldn't tell us how much that would be, either."
Though her attorney advised against, it, Creasey went on good faith and signed the agreement.
"I don't know what they were thinking, but I suspect they didn't expect me to sign the agreement. They came back wanting a personal guarantee, which would mean in the event of bankruptsy my homestead would be on the line, and in the event of my death my estate would pay the remainder of the lease.
"Their reactions made me think they were negotiating a net terms lease, one with definitive numbers, one that was fair. As late as December 10th they were asking me for a user friendly art file so I could join their parking lot marquee. I emailed the CEO, Bill Green, and let him know I did not have a problem with a net term lease, but I needed to see the numbers, so I would know whether I would be selling a $2 burger or a $30 burger." She sent along the artwork that day.
New Year's Eve changed everything.
"At 4:27 p.m. on New Year's Eve, I was served with a notice to vacate," Creasey continues. "I don't know if they were looking for a holiday or what, it's a holiday, but they gave me until Monday to respond, gave me 30 days with a 90 day option if I choose not to sue, then I can take my furniture and fixtures and stay until March 31st.
"I chose not to sue."
At first, Creasey only told a few of the regulars who came in. "I wanted to tell certain customers myself. You want to tell your employees and family. Everyone who comes to the restaurant is fabulous. Every one. But when it was posted to Remember in Little Rock I felt I really had to let everyone know."
Since the news got out, the community has begun to rally around Black Angus. Some longtime customers are asking that the restaurant be relocated closer to where they live. Others are pledging their support no matter where the restaurant goes. And still more are working to find a new location.
"John Hathaway from the Hathaway Group is on a personal mission. He's been a regular customer all the way back to the Markham and Van Buren days. He doesn't want to see another icon be forced out for some national chain to take this spot. Every day, I get 10-15 text messages from people who have seen a spot and I just forward that to him. I spent all day yesterday just driving around and moving. I went into one place and asked if they were planning to move - it just was the perfect spot."
Creasy is concerned for her employees, many of whom have spent a good portion of their lives working with her.
"Ben my kitchen manager has been there 32 years. Robert's got 24, Mark's got 22, Marilyn's got a dozen I'm sure. And these people - if any happened to their homes or their trucks or their livelihood, I just couldn't take it. We'll move fast with as little interruption as possible."
That may take quite a bit. While Black Angus will be able to keep its fixtures and furniture, it'll be a heck of a move.
The restaurant prides itself on its 100% charcoal grilled meats and doesn't have a flat griddle of any sort on the property. It takes 34 large bags of Nature's Own charcoal to keep those grills hot - and an hour each day before opening just to prep the charcoal grills. There are few restaurants within Arkansas still cooking over charcoal grills, and none I have found with the commitment to do all of their grilling on them. The flavor the charcoal imparts to those burgers, steaks, pork chops and chicken breasts is part of the culinary fabric that makes up Little Rock's contribution to food lovers.
"I have something that's rare - an open kitchen," Creasey tells me. "You can look in, order and see your steak. I just never imagined that this is where we would be right now. And the more people that know, the more angels that come out of the woodwork. Angels are everywhere, Kat, no one is ever alone. Even when you're in your darkest hour, there's always someone there to take that weight."
This all comes as the restaurant enters its 60th year. It was recently announced as a nominee for the People's Choice award for this year's Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. The humble restaurant locals have enjoyed for decades is finally receiving its just recognition - right when it will have to move to survive.
Too many of our restaurants have disappeared in Little Rock these past few years - from Cajun's Wharf to the Arkansas Burger Company, Chip's Barbecue and Silvek's European Bakery, The Villa and Sandy's Homeplace Cafe.
Creasey is hopeful the forced move will mean Black Angus will be able to keep going, and be able to celebrate this 60th birthday of an Arkansas classic.
"Behind every cloud is a blessing. You just have to find it," she says. "I'm not alone."

This is so sad. Black Angus has been a icon for years. I often dined at the one on Markham and Van Buren. I live in the neighborhood where Black Angus is now, and hate to see it go because of greed of the new owners of the clinic going in there.
Oh no... best burger in Little Rock.
I remember the Black Angus at Baseline and Geyer Springs way, way back! My family were regular customers and my brother played on a Black Angus baseball team! I live in Benton now but have still traveled to Rodney Parham many times to buy a real charcoal hamburger! Black Angus and Minute Man, are and were, the Best! Haven't made it to El Dorado to Minute Man since they left LR, but wherever Black Angus moves I will follow!

Would LOVE to see them move into that spot beside Trader Joe's.
We used to leave Hall during the open campus years in the early 80's and eat lunch there every day when it was in the building that was Arkansas Burger company. Now we go by there on bank runs and grab lunch for our office in Chenal.
It can be deemed a historic landmark if it is over 20 years old I am going to apply for them
The owner of the property is the only one legally that can apply for historic landmark status. The same strategy was in the minds of several golfers of War Memorial Golf Course until they realized that the City of Little Rock had to approve any historic application which of course they did not
Why *wouldn't* the medical center want a restaurant (or two) sitting right in their front door? It's better for patients, better for staff...totally unreasonable on their part.
New Girl Scout Lemon-Ups are a Happy Tie to the Past.

New Newsletter to Focus on Concussion Litigation
Posted by Charlie Lunan | Jul 5, 2012 | Apparel Financial, Apparel Updates, Footwear, Footwear Financial, Sports/Fitness, Sports/Fitness Financial, Uncategorized, Update
Hackney Publications launched Concussion Litigation Reporter (CLR), a monthly e-newsletter that will serve as a subscription-based component of its Concussion Policy & the Law "blog."
CLR articles will provide timely analysis on developments and legal strategies at the intersection of sports and concussions. Subscribers will also have access to sports law articles related to concussions, which have appeared in other Hackney Publications. The inaugural issue can be viewed for free through July 31 at http://concussionpolicyandthelaw.com/clr-sample/.
"By providing immediate access to insightful content and analysis, we are meeting the legal industry's need for ongoing information," said Editor-in-Chief Holt Hackney, who also oversees the editorial operations of six other sports law periodicals.
Hackney also noted that Hackney Publications had reached an agreement with Paul D. Anderson, founder of the "blog" NFL Concussion Litigation, to become editor, providing exclusive bylined articles as well as valuable insight into other legal issues associated with sports concussions for CLR.
"Paul is the country's leading unbiased authority on NFL concussion litigation," said Hackney. "We're excited to start turning him loose on other areas of concussion litigation, like collegiate athletics and K-12 athletics, where it is only a matter of time before we see a similar flurry of lawsuits brought against defendants in those industries."
Anderson said the opportunity was too good to pass up.
"Hackney Publications is far and away the sports law industry's leading publisher of periodicals," said Anderson, who will continue to publish his own blog, while writing proprietary content for CLR. "This was a natural progression for me to expand beyond the niche of concussion litigation in professional sports to college athletics and high schools."

Q: How can I setup more than one PRISMA service, one for testing and one for development I want to have a separate database for testing and development. What I'm trying to achieve is to have more than one Prisma service, one for testing and one for normal development.
This my docker-compose.yml file
version: '3'
services:
    prisma:
        image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.34
        restart: 'always'
        ports:
            - '4466:4466'
        environment:
            PRISMA_CONFIG: |
                port: 4466
                databases:
                  default:
                    connector: mongo
                    uri: ${MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING}
    prisma_testing:
        image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.34
        restart: 'always'
        ports:
            - '4400:4400'
        environment:
            PRISMA_CONFIG: |
                port: 4466
                databases:
                  default:
                    connector: mongo
                    uri: ${TEST_MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING}

I can't find anything in the docs for achieving this. Is there a recommended flow or config for achieving this?

A: The easiest way would be to change prisma's endpoint to point to a different prisma server before you run prisma deploy. As of the time of writing, prisma has been renamed from prisma to prisma1. You can find more details here, so ensure you have prisma1 installed as a devDependency.
Prisma explains how to achieve the same in their docs here.
Follow below steps:

*

*Install prisma1 as a devDependency yarn add prisma1 -D,

*Generate prisma client and specify config file to use npx prisma1 generate -p path/to/prisma.test.yml

*Run your tests

In your config file(s), specify different endpoints pointing to different prisma servers, you might want to have one for testing and another for production.
Contents for the different config files might look as below:
prisma.test.yml (For running your local tests)
endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:4466
datamodel: datamodel.prisma
databaseType: document
secret: u4r4secret

generate:
    - generator: javascript-client
      output: ./generated/prisma-client/

prisma.yml (For production use)
endpoint: http://prod-server-ip:4466
datamodel: datamodel.prisma
databaseType: document
secret: u4r4secret

generate:
    - generator: javascript-client
      output: ./generated/prisma-client/

Also improtant, don't forget to regenerate prisma client before pushing your code to production. A quick and easy way would be to use git hooks.
Suggestion:
Use husky and add pre-commit hook, which will run before git commit, to always ensure your prisma client will always have production endpoint before you push to production. Add below section to package.json.
"husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "yarn prisma:generate -p path/to/prisma.yml"
    }
  }

Rumors of the departure of Messi and Ramos are the hottest free agent news
Posted on Mei 19, 2021 Mei 19, 2021 by Cody
Posted in Football
Euro 2021 is not the only moment to look forward to next month and sponsored by Slotdemo. Because, at the end of June, it is very possible that there will be an exodus of several players labeled as stars. What's more, they can go to any team for free because of an expired contract.
Rumors of the departure of FC Barcelona captain Lionel Messi and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos are the hottest. The last night, the future of the player who is also a magnet for La Liga is still gray. Negotiations for additional contracts, which both expire on June 30, are not yet clear.
For La Pulga (The Flea), the nickname of Messi, he is not sure about Barcelona's ambitious project next season. This season the Blaugrana have only won the Copa del Rey. They have failed in the Champions League and almost failed in La Liga too.
There is no certainty about the arrival of Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero as well as Messi's contract extension. Meanwhile, Aguero is Messi's best friend, just like Luis Suarez, who has left for Atletico Madrid this season.
For Ramos, Marca reported that talks between Real and Ramos were stuck for the umpteenth time. The reason is that Ramos wants to add two seasons even though he has to receive a salary of 10 percent of EUR 17.5 million (Rp. 299.8 billion) per season. However, Real management is only willing to add one season.
Los Merengues must be careful. Because, the departure of Ramos could be the exodus of another center-back, Raphael Varane. The French player's contract expires next season and he is yet to show signs. So, the best solution is to sell him this summer to avoid leaving for free like Ramos.
Entrenador Zinedine Zidane still wants Cuqui – the nickname of Ramos – to stay or even retire with Real. However, the financial crisis that hit Real, the failure of the European Super League will affect Real's transfer activities. Includes player contracts.
In fact, a few days ago the 35-year-old player gave a code that he would join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). That was the breast on the activity of Ramos's Instagram account, which started following several players from Les Parisiens, the nickname of PSG.
" I will not answer something that can be misinterpreted. In essence, we want to improve quality on all fronts, "PSG entraineur Mauricio Pochettino told L'Equipe, dismissing rumors about Ramos joining.
Not only the La Liga duo. AC Milan is also trying hard to determine its pillars to survive. Because, there are two of their core players who have not yet signed new contracts. They are goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu. The causes are similar. The increase in salary that has not been able to meet the Rossoneri – the nickname of Milan – is due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Calhanoglu, who is paid EUR 2.5 million (IDR 43 billion), wants to increase his salary to EUR 6 million (IDR 103 billion). However, ACM is only willing to pay EUR 4 million (Rp.69 billion) plus bonuses. In fact, even when the Turkish player was willing to be EUR 5 million (Rp.86 billion), the deal had not yet happened.
For Gigio – Donnarumma greeting – was out of control because the request for a salary was EUR 12 million (Rp. 206.7 billion), which was only able to be fulfilled by EUR 8 million (Rp. 137.8 billion).
But the agent Mino Raiola wants his client to go to another team that is willing to pay more. Moreover, Milan, which are not sure to qualify for the Champions League next season, have not made Donnarumma and Calhanoglu firmly survive.
