Guys, there is no more argument that you can advance that will make you right when you say "but in Latin" or "but in primary school."
In English there is no academy so there is no authority to determine right and wrong. Justify the usage you have learned, fine. Have a bad attitude, fine. You won't win. People say she and her just like people write centre and center. The right criterion is convention, and it is indeeed standard in the US to say this is him or this is them or so forth. In Great Britain, some regional variants argue for the subject pronoun by appealing to archaic, foreign grammar. That's fine too. If in Great Britain some people want to say this is she and if they want to argue from false premises that copula this therefore that, let them. They'll not change the American convention, they'll not standardize the usage. You can explain to them al say that English isn't based on one grammar but on several, still won't matter to them.

Warsaw, a lot of people seem unaware of the value of propositions, and clauses are certainly part of most propositions. As a writer, I can also agree that it is very important to know your clauses. Such allows for much better punctuation at the very least. Sadly, because there are as many grammars and grammarians as there are and have been in English, we get several terms for that which is more or less the same thing. Look at a matrix clause, independent clause, main clause, superordinate clause, and so forth. Again, I stress [more or less]. While one such term may be used more by one school or grammar; or more in linguistics than teaching as a profession, my using bound relative clause (versus free relative clause) was only meant as contrast, not pedantry or arrogance. I'd definitely prefer having one term "per phenomenon" to ten terms per phenomenon, even if there are such subtle differences between their usages as there sometimes are.
Sorry for the few errors in my reply, I can't edit them. I am also an English teacher and imagine that I enjoy quibbling over English just as much as the next teacher. I'm also a writer and probably like yourself spend a lot of my time debating and learning. It's fun!
@Warsaw Will,
well, you did apply the verb to delight advisedly, and you were right to do so. I de not delight, generally, in using terms for their sake. The term diachronic opposes synchronic and is used in lexicography, among other domains. It only refers to a dictionary that records a language historically versus at present only. The OED is one such dictionary. All you have to do is ask if a term is used and you don't understand it, or consult a dictionary, of course. I didn't impose the term as some kind of "infelicity."
Also, no, a bound relative clauses was stated as such for a reason. If you go back and look, you'll see that it contrasted other kinds of relative clause. There is not merely one kind of relative clause.
Also, yes, I do explain at length concepts you yourself might be aware of. However, I take expression seriously enough that I try to account for what I say rather than expecting others to assume what is meant, which isn't their job. If you'll recall, the thread is entitled the way it is for a reason. Not that you speak for everyone in the thread, nor even the majority, but if everyone knew what a complement were I doubt the thread would have been put up in the first place. Nonetheless, it's gotten some attention over the years, and I suspect that such is partly the reason.
Finally, referential indexicality wasn't addressed to you, although I did explain what it means given that it is a term. Had you contextualized my reply, you'd have seen that it wasn't meant for you but for the person who responded after you. I entertained the possibility that their message had been intended as some kind of rebuttal to what I previously wrote of gerunds.
I hadn't intended on condescending to you.
If the latter response is meant for me, there's a linguistic concept called "referential indexicality," which broadly refers to meaning that is context-dependent, that you might like to look into. A gerund's meaning can change according to context, such as in these two examples: "I usually end up speaking to my sister when I get bored" (where speaking is not thought of as speech), and "We know little about the timing of language's emergence in our species. Unlike writing, speaking leaves no material trace, making it archaeologically invisible" (where speaking is not thought of as talking trivially).
Noscitur a sociis comes to mind...
You said: "You call "He ain't happy" colloquial American English, to which a Londoner might reply "No, it ain't", well, not exclusively, at least. It seems to have developed from "an't", of which there are three examples in Congreve's Love for Love (1695), my favourite being "Sea-calf! I an't calf enough to lick your chalk'd face, you cheese-curd, you.". There are several examples of the use of "ain't" in Dickens, and for a while it was also part of British upper class cant. In modern London dialect "ain't" is often used in double negatives –"I ain't never seen him", "It ain't none of your business". In popular culture there was the 1970s British TV series "It ain't half hot, Mum", and more up to date, we have "I ain't bovvered" (Lauren, Catherine Tait Show). While I totally agree with you about the "my variety of English is better than yours" way of thinking, which of course is linguistic nonsense, I would hate to see British English denied its claim to this particular and important corner of the language."
I suppose any serious diachronic lexicon would show that its many usages have developed independently, although I agree that by all accounts it likely developed first in England as a variation of "I am not." Your point about part of the word's originating in England (that is, orthographically) is well-received and well-made, and informative: its history deserves to be shared rather than expurgated. :)
Next you say: "It's true that English has no academy, a fact I rejoice in, but you seem to be suggesting that for that reason descriptivism "takes home the prize" . But I'm afraid I don't see any necessary connection between the two. Prescriptivism and descriptivism are two different ways of looking at language, and the lack of an academy didn't stop prescriptivism ruling the roost in English grammar on both sides of the Atlantic for some two hundred years. Nor does the existence of an academy rule out a descriptive approach: the three volume Gramática Descriptiva de la Lengua Española, is published under the auspices of none other than the Real Academia Española (R.A.E), often seen as the guardians of prescriptivism in Spain."
Let's start with the fact that English is taught, the fact that any of its patterns are sometimes presumed "correct" or "incorrect," and additionally, with the fact that English is frequently taught as having grammatically justified rules and as conforming to norms. Prior to making my point, actually, I'd like first to erase your adjective necessary in "necessary connection," since I did not argue deductively and since that would otherwise misrepresent my position. Also, I'd like to point out that I didn't say: "schools, pedagogues, and self-appointed grammarians haven't prescribed," (perfect aspect). Rather, I said that because English has no language academy at present, it follows that lexicography reports native English usage without reference to prescriptive grammar(s); just as it follows that descriptivism (grammar) conforms to conventional standards rather than to any particular set of rules proposed by any particular self-appointed grammarian. With English's being made up of so many different languages and its being influenced by so many different, often conflicting grammars, I fail to see a more sensible or ethical grammar than one that reports standard English as it is used conventionally.
If English is to be taught so that learners speak and write it in a standard way, then [describing] and reporting it as it is used conventionally and in its standard ways is logically truer to those conventions and standards than reducing it to a set of given prescriptions: the conventions and standards represent much of the language as it is and has always been used; whereas, excluding pedagogical and cultural traditions, no other approach structures or has structured its conventions or standards consistently. Therefore, descriptivism not only serves as a more consistent approach to inform and justify preferred usage throughout the English language, but better communicates its conventions and standards.
In short, when people claim such things as "it IS 'this is she' and NOT 'this is her'," they do so correctly only if they appeal to any particular grammar. However, if they want to report actual standard English in either convention, their claim is false. What's more, conforming to Latin influences in grammar doesn't explain to inquiring people that any number of pertinent variations exist, and that each can be justified in different ways. A descriptive approach (as seen in lexicography) does.
"Ellipsis, gerunds and present participles – some modern grammarians are dropping the distinction between gerunds and present participles, and in EFL teaching we often refer to both as –ing forms, but seeing you mentioned them, there is no way I can see "Speaking" in your "Hi Scott" example being an ellipsis of a gerund phrase (at least not in the way gerund is understood in English grammar, i.e. as having a nominal function)."
That's easy. First, I was responding to a fellow who had tried to impose the notion onto his interlocutor that speaking had to be a noun and used in its most literal sense. I pointed out that it could well be used as a finite or non-finite present participle or a gerund as seen in a verb pattern (versus as a grammatical subject, the meaning and function of which I exemplified for contrast and which would be clear through contextualization). Second, it's not that hard to omit and simultaneously imply a verb pattern where speaking could be a gerund. "Is Scott there?" "yes (I'm), speaking," present continuous. "Is Scott there," "(by way of) speaking." :) Both of these constitute elliptical structures, the first of which is a main clause, and the second of which is a prepositional phrase. Now, of course, I'm happy to admit that nearly no one would answer a phone and imply "by way of" so as to justify the gerund. My point was that if the fellow some 1000 posts ago wanted to make people feel stupid, then all kinds of linguistic gymnastics could be exercised if to shame other people. Still, "this is she" versus "this is her" are both very well explained with elliptical clauses.
As you rightly explain about ellipsis, yes what is implied is usually so obvious that it merits being left out; whereas, leaving too much out would leave a listener to wonder. However examples like, "Where is he going later, Bill?" "To dance" (vs, "he is going to dance") instead of "Where is he going later, Bill" "dance" (where, through pragmatic knowledge on the part of the listener, "dance" refers to teaching lessons as an instructor and therefore: "to my Monday night dance lesson" instead of as it would most likely be wrongly interpreted through even the slightest remove.--I concede that this does not justify entire compound-complex sentences's being reduced to mere -ing words on a regular basis, since that would of course be ludicrous except in some form of, say, sentential phone scrabble. :-P
I have to say that a lot of the arguments for "this is she" as well as "this is her" fall quite short of the mark.
First, it is true that English is not an academic language. This means that it has no academy to prescribe rules. Instead, we have two conventions of English: British and American. There is standard English, however the argument that "this is she" is to be preferred because it is standard shows that the person arguing such doesn't understand what standard means. Standard in this context only means conforming to English that is spoken in either convention by educated natives. For example, "he ain't happpy" isn't standard English but colloquial American English; which descriptively, is still a linguistic oversimplification. Rather what is standard according to said convetion is "He isn't happy" or more formal "He is not happy."
That's it. English has no academy and therefore descriptivism indeed takes home the prize.
That said, why are some people so angry about saying "this is she" versus "this is her?" Easy. Culture. They've always learned that "this is she" is how we say such, therefore they want to argue that it must be the case. However, as can be seen in several of the posts, such people don't know how to argue logically and therefore appeal to underhand suggestions that attack outside cultures. "English originiated in Britian... therefore." "Americans don't speak English as well as the British... therefore."
The crux of the issue is merely in ellipitical clauses. When one requests to speak to someone by phone, yet does not know who has answered, the person who responds will usually answer with an elliptical clause, which omis and simultaneously implies any number of words.
For example, "Hi, is Scott there?" Response: "speaking." Here, "speaking" could be a gerund or present participle, the gerund's not at all needing to suggest "speech" in a sentence like "Speaking developed in humans over 70 thousand years ago" but can simply be part of a verb pattern (like, "I hate speaking to my little sister" where the gerund can of course be interpreted as a grammatical argument that reveals information about the subject. Non-finite verbs, however, are not meant to reveal information about the subject; whereas in the example sentence, even if the non-finite verb were uninflected: "I hate [to talk] to my sister," most educated native speakers in both conventions would agree that the person must therefore talk to their sister at least from time to time. Note, pay attention to the modal verb "must," which does not argue deductively, but inductively. ;)
That is, when the person says "speaking," what they are saying is "this is the person who you are looking for and who is speaking now." It's all boiled down to "speaking," because Scott knows that the listener's capacity to assume as an intelligent being rather than a computer is such that he will assume that such is what is meant. As well, it's simply more timely and natural to speak in such a way, among other things.
If Scott had said "this is him," then the object pronoun could be imbedded in a bound relative clause where "him" is the object argument placed in the subordinate clause, "this is him (the person) whom you seek (where "whom you seek" is implied. :) )
And, now more easily: "Is Sue there?" (asked in the third person singular, and for the sake of coherence, so used in), "yes, this is she." In this example response, "This" is the demonstrative determiner that replaces the noun (and following noun phrase) "the person" or "the person you are looking for." One more time: "Is Sue there?" Response: "The person you are looking for is she." (I know, under the American convention, the sentence "this is she," and the latest development "the person you are looking for is she" would seem immediately defective. Just bear with me. If you're used to the British convention of English, know that for some people, saying such sentences would be like petting a dog backwards). Continuging, in this final case of explored responses, we are arguing for the usage of "she" in the sentence "this is she" and therefore it behooves us to say that the demonstrative determiner "this" is the subject, and hence the copula "is" predicates a subject complement: "she" by necessity. In an elliptical clause, "who is speaking" could be interpreted as well, in "this is she... who is speaking."
For some people, the problem still remains in the last part of this explanation: "she" [isn't an object] but a subject, so why is it in the place of an object. The simple answer is that it's not an object. The long answer is that in English more broadly, syntax generally conforms to the pattern: Subject, verb, object. Hence, it might seem like "this" is the subject, "is," the verb, and therefore "her" or "me,"necessarily the object. Not so. The confusion is in the details of copulas.
Let me clarify.
A copula (or more technically, a copular verb) is a special kind of verb, of which there are not very many at all. In a lot of languages, there is only one copular verb: "To be." In English, there are a few, but the most frequently used copular verb is the same: "to be." Copula comes from Latin and only means "link" or "tie." As such, we also call such verbs "linking verbs."
It gets more complicated, but not by much. Bear with me.
A "true" linking verb is always and only a linking verb. What does a true copula or linking verb do? It connects a subject with a complement. It cannot be an action. To walk is only an action verb, therefore to walk cannot be a linking verb. To [be] (happy) isn't an action. It cannot be. Again, to be is only a linking verb.
There are some other linking verbs, but the point is twofold:
1. In English, there are only just a few "true" linking verbs, and therefore it is easy to confuse their subject complements for grammatical objects. Like, "this is she" vs "this is her."
2. Because a true linking verb is followed by a complement, and because we decided that "this"is the subject in the response "this is she," the complement is by deductive inference therefore a subject complement. Subject complements that are pronouns [replace, mirror or describe their subjects] and therefore [are so inflected].
Incidentally, "subject complement" is the door to the academic world on this very question: "This is she," or "this is her." As others have attempted and as John rightly deflected, while subject complements are in the nominative case in Latin, nominative meaning that the noun or pronoun is inflected as a subject of its verb, English is not Latin. English is English and is made up of three contending morphological histories. Germanic, Latin and Greek, along with several other influences. Because there is no academy of English, there is no universally [elected] authority of the language. That's why John used "descriptivism" so much in his responses. "The rules are only as good as what is considered right by most native, educated speakers." I added to that, however, that the problem is culture, and indeed it is. There is no doubt that many teachers use such Latin influences traditionally in teaching children how to speak English, thinking that because the grammar they teach makes sense and has been done before, it must be said way. In fact, European linguistics tends to study traditional subjects; whereas in the US, linguistics focuses on phonetics and phonology a great deal more. National educations also differ considerably between Great Britain and the US. In Great Britain, many people study Latin. Not in the US.
One of the dangers of national or traditional education systems is that when something complicated or just plain wrong is taught, it is taught to everyone. In France, for example, the national education has taught for decades that in English, the imperfect (aspect) is translated with "en train de," which is only an expression of time that means "in the process of" or "in the middle of." Result? Everytime we say something in English like "I was watching t.v. yesterday night," a lot of common French people might try to translate the -ing as "J'ai été en train de regarder la télé hier soir," which of course means something different, just as if we had said, "I was in the middle of watching t.v. last night."
Now, just imagine how different regions of the country must interact with each other on their forums about such questions :)


You've got that romantic trip planned. Picked a cheap hotel that had a decent sized tub and an indoor pool. Babysitters have been arranged and you're roaring for a great trip. But the thing is, your budget is ultra tight. How to have some romance when you're worried about cashflow? Here are 10 ways to spice up your romantic trip without breaking the bank – some of them are even free.
Pack your own DIY spa. Massages in the hotel can be pretty expensive unless you've flown to southeast Asia. But why not make your own DIY spa kit? Boots has everything you need – just make sure to check any oversized liquids or risk getting them taken from you. And gents, what's so wrong with some nice bath salts and a soak in the tub?
Plan a day of nothing. Hang the do not disturb sign on your room, unplug the alarm, and plan a day of nothing but you and a special someone between the sheets. When is the last time you've done that? If you can't remember, it's been too long.
Walks are free. There's something special about a stroll, talking and thinking and maybe holding hands if that's your thing. Whether its a public park, an interesting neighbourhood, along the seashore….
Go to the cinema – like on a date. Another classic thing that we rarely treat ourselves to. Go and hang out at the pictures and see a fun film; and you didn't hear it from me, but throw some candies and a bottle of water in your bag and skip the overpriced stuff at the cinema itself, though if you can swing it, a large popcorn is certainly a worthwhile indulgence.
Pack some candles. You aren't normally allowed candles in the hotel room, but you know those fake candles that look dangerously realistic? They pack easy and offer the same ambiance, plus you can re-use them at home. Lights out please!
Buy postcards and write to… each other. Sure, it's cheesy, but it can be fun. You can exchange them during the trip, or why not send them home – something to look forward to after your little getaway.
Go to a wine boutique and ask for the house special. A good wine shop will be able to help you find the perfect thing and stick to a budget. And nothing ruins a weekend like cheap wine – you know the kind.
Go shopping and buy something special for each other. Maybe it's some cheesy souvenirs that aren't expensive but have some emotional value. Maybe it's an inexpensive shirt for him, or skirt for her, that you can wear on the trip and think about your relationship.
Create a romantic playlist. Whether you use Spotify (free on laptop), or burn an old fashioned CD with your favourite MP3s, find some tunes to get you in the groove. Romance doesn't have to be just Sade!
How do you cook up a little romance on your holidays?

I got different popup here, but in either case, it seems to be not quite right here.
Russ, could you please investigate?
I'm not able to reproduce but what seems to be happening is when the sharing is cancelled it is taking the video more than the "allowable" amount of time to load when the video app comes to the foreground. The video app shows the "Cannot play video" dialog when it is unable to load a video within a predetermined amount of time (initially implemented as 1000ms). This functionality was introduced by bug 1079519 to handle situations where another application is using the hardware video codec resulting in the video app not being able to load a video.
It is an imperfect solution because there are some situations where it takes the video longer than 1000ms to load and thus the dialog displays for some period of time before going away. When implementing this solution, the thinking was this side affect of sometimes (presumably rarely) displaying of the dialog was the price to pay for letting users know the video app was not able to load a video when the video codec was in use by a another app. Bug 1093283 is tracking support for the html video element to indicate when it can't play because the video codec is in use, which is clearly a better solution.
The "display dialog when video cannot be loaded for some predetermined amount of time" functionality was introduced in v2.1, where the wait period was 1000ms. In 2.2 the wait period is also 1000ms. In master the wait period is 1500ms.
My suggestion is instead of fiddling with an imperfect solution, we should focus and getting bug 1093283 landed so that we can have a more robust solution of a video not being able to be played because the video codec is in use; one that doesn't have these undesirable side affects.
At this point, even if we are able to get a gecko-based fix, we are probably out of time to modify the video app to use that new gecko feature.
Russ, would you prepare a patch that just increases the wait from 1000 to 1500ms to match what is on master?
Then, we'll at least have some kind of patch that we can ask the reporter to verify.
I thinks its OK for me.
Previous PRs were against the main gaia repo, not my fork. This PR is against my gaia repo fork.
This is a trivial patch that changes two timeouts from 1000ms to 1500ms. We already have 1500ms on master and this just modifies 2.2 to be the same as master. The reporter indicates that this seems to workaround the bug. The only downside is that if the user tries to use the video app while they have a Hello video call in the background, they will have to wait a half second longer before they see the error message indicating that the video can't be played.
[Bug caused by] (feature/regressing bug #): this bug is a side effect of the patch we had to put in place to make the video app report an error when a Hello video call was going on in the background. In order to fix this for real, we need a gecko change in bug 1093283, but that does not look like it will arrive in time for 2.2.
[User impact] if declined: the user will see a transient spurious error message if the share a video and then cancel the share.
[Risk to taking this patch] (and alternatives if risky): not risky at all; it only changes the delay for the error message. As described above, it means that when the error message is not spurious it will take a little longer to see it. But we've been running with this on master for quite some time and it seems to be fine.

I started with.
$$ A~\mathrm{adj}(A) = \det(A)I_n $$
I took $\det()$ of both sides, then raised both side to power of $3$, then I multiplied both sides by $1/\det(A^3)$, then I use the rule $(\mathrm{adj}(A))^n = \mathrm{adj}(A^n)$ on the left side, and combine exponents on the right side to complete the proof that
$$ \det(\mathrm{adj}(A^3)) = (\det(A))^{3n-3} $$
the only thing I wanted to confirm if i did this right is if $(\mathrm{adj}(A))^n = \mathrm{adj}(A^n)$?

A: Yes (link). Also, as $A^3$ is also invertible, we can start with:$$A^3{\rm adj}(A^3)={\rm det}(A^3)I_n.$$
Then, taking determinant on both sides:
$$ {\rm det}(A^3){\rm det}({\rm adj}(A^3))= ({\rm det}(A^3))^n.$$

Completed main sanctuary in 1936 with two of Meière's four roundels partially visible
Among Hildreth Meière's designs for the rebuilt St. Michael's Monastery Church after the 1934 fire were four enormous roundels on the pendentives of the new central dome, each depicting one of the Four Evangelists in oil on canvas. Meière described the roundels as "paintings of the four Evangelists at impressive scale."1 The original colors of the roundels can be seen in Meière's four final studies in oil on masonite:
As can be seen in period photographs, Meière's murals for the chancel were installed and her roundels were affixed to the pendentives before the baldacchino, or canopy over the altar, was constructed.

As of 2014, only two of the four roundels remained in place. Luke and John had detached from the plaster and been lost. Matthew and Mark, both in desperate need of restoration, had peeled away from the plaster and were hanging precariously:

FROM Reepham we drove to East Dereham, passing through a thinly populated country, wild and woody a great portion of the way. Bawdeswell, the first village we came to, has a modern church, the old one having been pulled down some years ago. I think this is the only village during our tour in the eastern counties the church of which was entirely devoid of interest. After leaving Bawdeswell our road was bounded to the left by a finely timbered park, which park was enclosed by a brick wall that followed faithfully every turn and twist of the way. The cost of building this must have been very considerable, and after all it did not form a good fence, for a wall is not difficult to climb for boys or poachers; a thick-set thorn hedge is by far a better protection, and much pleasanter to look upon; you cannot climb such a hedge, or break through it with impunity. On the other side of the road, in curious contrast with the well-wooded park, was a
A FORSAKEN ROAD.
wild treeless common, its barren bleakness being enlivened however here and there by the bright and cheerful bloom of the gorse.
It was a lonely, forsaken road; we met no one of whom to ask the name of the park, and our map did not give it.
How strangely deserted now are the old highways, erst so full of life and bustle! What would our forefathers (who posted or travelled over them in coaches) think, could they come to life again and view the almost abandoned thoroughfares, with their sides grass-grown owing to the little traffic, their milestones chipped and crumbling away, their sign-posts gone, or armless and useless, their once flourishing inns converted into farmhouses or cottages ---the traveller thereon unfrequent ? A past presence seems to linger over these old roads ; they recall memories of the days that are no more; a journey then was not such a matter-of-fact affair as it is now. There was a good deal of romance and picturesqueness in travelling when the road was in its full glory ; too much of romance sometimes, indeed, for there was always the possible chance of a misadventure with the knights of the road, besides plenty of excitement of a milder sort. Perhaps after all present age is a pleasanter one to live in ; we see now only the poetry of the past, we are chiefly familiar with its bright and sunny side. A modern generation knows nothing of the discomforts of a long journey by coach in stormy winter weather ; a pleasure outing on a well-appointed drag upon a summer day is hardly a fair comparison ; and has not even the poet said :
The good of ancient times let others state ;
I think it lucky I was born so late.
In spite
The present will itself in due course become the past.
I wonder whether our descendants will then speak of these days as the good old times.' of the great changes that have taken place during the last half-century, rural England away from towns and railways has outwardly altered little, and so as we drove along we felt that we saw the country much as our ancestors saw it who travelled this way, and very different the landscape looks from the box-seat of a phaeton from what it appears in the 'hurrygraphs' of it that alone can be obtained from a railway carriage. The road rises and falls with the country; when driving, therefore, your prospect is not cut off ever and again by a deep cutting or darksome tunnel ; all the houses face the highway and make their best appearance to it. You enter a town or village in a natural manner, not sneak in or pass through it by back streets as on the railway, so that you really see the country towns and villages you pass through when journeying by road. You rush through a town by rail, and can thus know nothing of it, but driving leisurely along its streets, even if you make no halt, you obtain a very fair impression of the place.
Our road now led us by a gradual descent to a pleasant green lowland valley. Here for the first time on our journey our ears were greeted by the musical murmur of falling water, caused by a little river that formed a weir over which it tumbled and foamed in a delightful manner. A pretty willow


I can't remember what I did before I had a planner.
I have no idea how I remembered appointments and things I needed to do. Possibly the appointments went in a phone calendar but the things to do? Post it notes and random scraps of paper I think. I have a memory like a sieve so I must have been doing something to keep on top of life.
I'd like to say I got into planner as a way to sort my life out. I didn't. I came across someone on Instagram who was decorating their planner and thought I liked the look of that. It looked like a nice creative outlet. Suddenly I started reading blogs that had these beautiful Filofaxes and found the world of kawaii stationery. I bought my first planner and washi and haven't looked back since.
Over time, the use of a planner has definitely developed from a creative outlet to something I can't live without. I still decorate it and make it look pretty but over the years the functional use of a planner has become far more important. So much so that I'm making the jump away from a Happy Planner to a Hobonichi.
Since I began planning I've started this blog and opened up the Etsy shop, alongside other hobbies and my full time job. I really couldn't have stayed on top of it all without a planner. Well, several planners. You may think that's giving some paper a little too much credit but seriously, I've got a memory like a sieve!
There's obviously lots of people who get by just fine without a planner, or have a smartphone that does everything for them. In case you're currently thinking that set up isn't right for you, or have been wondering why paper planners are suddenly making a comeback, I've put together my list of reasons why I need and use a planner.
I'm going to attempt to do this in priority order and this is definitely my main reason. I like to see my month in one place with detail and ditto my week. When I open up my iPhone calendar it tells me the dates that something is happening, but if I want to know what, I have to go into that date. With my planner I just open up my monthly page(s) and can see everything in front of me. Birthdays, appointments and bills due. All there in one easy to see format.
While I'm sure there are apps out there that try and give you that my phone screen is considerably smaller than even my smaller sized planner pages. It just doesn't compare.
Equally, being able to leave my planner open on my desk while I get on with my days means I can frequently just go back to it and tick off what I've done and see what's still to do. That feels like so much less effort than getting my phone, unlocking it and opening up whatever app I'm using to track my day. If the to do list is in a different app to the calendar, they may even be more than one thing to check.
Need a special tracker to track pain? You can find or make an insert or sticker for that. Want to plan out your blog post content, track social media shares and stats? You can find or make an insert or sticker for that too.
When it comes to anything electronic, unless you're a coder you're pretty much bound to whatever someone else has made with limited customising available. Get yourself a notebook, pen and a ruler and you can make yourself a planner that perfectly fits your life and needs. If you have a printer and MS Office, you can design your own printed pages. Have a Silhouette and you can even make your own stickers.
This probably sounds a little old womanish of me but I just don't like the idea of my iPhone having everything. It's already a phone, camera, iPod, games device and so much more. I don't want to be so reliant on it that I need it to plan my life too.
In a world where everyone is supposedly spending too much time in front of a screen, lets keep the things on paper that we can.
Yes you can spend an absolute fortune on expensive planners and millions of stickers but all you really need is a notebook and a pen. A cheap diary from a supermarket will do if all you need is something to track birthdays and appointments.
Work essentials. I love bullet journaling for work. Do you have a different system for work and home?
If however you do want to fall down the stationery rabbit hole there is so much out there. I love creating sticker kits and planning out my week, trying to make it look pretty. If I really like a weekly layout, I definitely see a productivity benefit to it. I want to stay on track with whatever I've written in there if I like the layout and I look at my planner a lot more.
I don't always have the time to pursue all my creative hobbies, but a little bit of creative planning each week fills that hole. It also keeps me inspired to then make cards and sew when I do have the chance.
I probably would have deleted my Facebook a long time ago if it weren't for Facebook groups. Planning groups are filled with friendly people, great discussion and fantastic inspiration. Groups are literally the only thing I use the Facebook app for now. Had I not have got into planning I certainly wouldn't have found these great online communities.
Why you need a planner?
I'm sure some of you reading this probably disagreed with some of the reasons. Or all. That's fine. Maybe you plan for a completely different reason? If you already plan and have different reasons for planning, please let me know in the comments below. I'd love to read some individual reasons and if there's enough, do a follow up post with all the extra reasons everyone has.

Constroi Angola – the Exhibition for Building Materials and Construction Equipment – takes place in Luanda from October 14 - 17, 2010. The event is another building block in the portfolio of international exhibitions involving IMAG, which will serve as an international partner. Given its experience in the international construction sector, IMAG will help organizers to continue developing the exhibition into a platform for globally active companies. Right now, the chances of that happening are very good. Since its premiere in 2003, the fair has more the quadrupled in size. Besides reaching the most important decision-makers in all of Angola, the event also addresses trade visitors in neighboring countries.
A total of 300 exhibitors showcased their companies at Constroi Angola in 2009, and some 14,000 visitors attended the fair. That was an 18% increase over the previous year. Ninety percent of all exhibitors opted to participate in the fair again in 2010.
However, thanks to healthy economic growth in Angola, the exhibition is also extremely interesting for international exhibitors. Angola's investments in reconstruction, especially in infrastructure and residential construction, are by far the highest on the African continent. In 2008, the real growth rate in Angola was 13.2%. After a decline in 2009, estimates for 2010 are positive again, with growth expected to be 6.2%.
IMAG currently organizes more than 40 events in approximately 20 countries. Its current exhibition portfolio includes construction exhibitions in Algeria, China, India, Vietnam, Russia, Iran, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. Thanks to its knowhow and close cooperation with efficient partners in Angola, Constroi Angola promises to continue evolving into a successful African trade show for the construction sector.

Q: The correct email address when a webhook gets hit for order creation from Shopify When an order is created at Shopify, a callback is initiated from Shopify that hits the webhook given in the settings.
The parameters that it uses to hit the webhook, those contain multiple emails, and there are no docs for those.
You can see those parameters here: https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer/cb3e0c52
One email is in the root. 2nd is by the name contact_email, and the third one falls under customer and goes by the name: email.
As of now, there is no documentation that states which email stands for what.
My question is: how would I know which email has the customer used for purchasing the product, and it would be the very email that I will use for contacting back with a customer.
Shopify webhooks: https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/events/webhook

A: You can do the following. One. Check to make sure a customer record was attached to the order. Surprisingly, it has been known to happen that you get an order without a customer due to a glitch. Assuming you have a customer record, use the email field from that. If the customer record does not exist, the one at the root is likely your best bet.
That is it. Any other emails floating around can be safely ignored by you. And also, be double dog sure you do not email this customer unless you are allowed to. Otherwise, you are spamming, and that will get you hammer-banned by the merchant, who will take the brunt of the abuse from your spam.
That means checking the buyer_accepts_marketing attribute.

Don Iveson's win a vote for optimism and smart planning in Edmonton
5 Comments on Don Iveson's win a vote for optimism and smart planning in Edmonton
Mayor-elect Don Iveson, and mayoral candidates Karen Leibovici and Kerry Diotte.
There will be plenty of analysis about what last night's election means for the city of Edmonton. With 132,162 votes – 62% of the vote – Don Iveson earned a commanding victory in the mayoral election over his two main opponents, Karen Leibovici and Kerry Diotte.
This is a win for the positive campaign and a stunning rebuke of the traditional negative campaign. While his main opponents strayed into negative tactics, Mr. Iveson's campaign avoided the taunts by focusing on remaining positive and optimistic. And it worked. This should send a strong message to voters and politicians across the land that you do not need to go negative to win.
This is a vote for the future. I spoke with many people over the past month who weren't sure what this election was about. While "the future" and "long-term planning" aren't sexy wedge issues like the closure of an airport or the construction of a new hockey arena, they are so much more important. Campaigns can be delivered in full-sentences. Mr. Iveson's comprehensive platform and its focus on long-term planning differentiated him from the other candidates.
Edmontonians have given Mr. Iveson a clear mandate to move forward with an agenda to renew public infrastructure, kickstart innovation, expand LRT, and change the way we fund our city.
There are challenges ahead. As mayor, Mr. Iveson will have to build a team on a city council with six new faces. Any successful mayor understands that they are only one vote of thirteen on council. Balancing progressive voices like re-elected councillors Ben Henderson and Amarjeet Sohi and newly-elected Michael Walters and Scott McKeen, along with moderate conservatives like Michael Oshry and fiscal hawks like Mike Nickel could be a challenge.
Building a strong region will be critical to moving Edmonton forward and new opportunities exist for the Capital Region Board with new mayors Tom Flynn in Sturgeon County, Lisa Holmes in Morinville, and Roxanne Carr in Strathcona County. Regional cooperation on planning and development, as well as service delivery, are areas where the capital region could see progress over the next four years.
Solving the fiscal challenges facing Alberta's cities will also be difficult. The provincial government needs to be convinced that Alberta's cities require additional resources and responsibilities to address the tremendous pressures associated with fast growing populations. The introduction of City Charters could be a significant step to helping cities deal with this issue.
With the province's most dynamic political leaders now leading our large urban municipalities, Naheed Nenshi in Calgary, Don Iveson in Edmonton, Melissa Blake in Wood Buffalo, Bill Given in Grande Prairie, and newly elected Tara Veer in Red Deer have an opportunity to pursue a strong urban agenda that the provincial government cannot ignore.
(Note: I have been happy to volunteer my personal time during the election campaign to help Don Iveson become the next mayor of Edmonton. I am ecstatic that Edmontonians have entrusted him with their votes)

Dr. Franco Migliori: What do successful plastic surgeons have in common?
With medical malpractice claims that are 10x the European average and a a growing trend towards unregulated minimally or non-invasive proceedures, plastic surgery in Italy is a competitive market.
Dr Migliori's been an early adopter of new technologies, including the internet, where he's been on the web since 1995, ready for the challenges and opportunities of online marketing.
As a plastic surgeon in Italy, how have you seen the aesthetics market developing?
Italy has a very competitive cosmetic surgery market due to one of the highest number of board certified plastic surgeons in Europe (more than 1,500) and due to a loosly regulated market, with more than 25,000 so-called "aesthetic surgeons", many of which have much less expertise and skill. Nevertheless, Italian plastic surgery is one of the "top quality" plastic surgery countries, planting its roots back in the centuries with famous names like Branca, Vianeo, Tagliacozzi and Sanvenero-Rosselli, and showing so many contemporary high-level practitioners.
Like most places, the patient types are split into "institutional" (gathering all the pathologies, like traumas, tumors, malformations, burns, etc.) treated mainly in public hospitals and paid by National Health System, and "private practice" (which is mainly aesthetic surgery) performed in private clinics and paid by the patients themselves with no insurance coverage.
In one way or another, plastic surgery is both available and affordable in Italy.
What kind of certifications do physicians need in order to practice plastic surgery in Italy? How is cosmetic medicine regulated?
In Italy the board certification is requested to practice plastic surgery. It's conferred by the schools of specialization of the Universities. The run of studies for a certified plastic surgeon lasts five years.
Cosmetic surgery is usually performed by board certified plastic surgeons, but there is no legal limitation to other surgeons, so there are many general surgeons performing tummy-tucks, ophthalmologists performing blepharoplasties, ENT performing rhinoplasties, and so on.
"Cosmetic medicine" is not regulated at all, and everyone can do it (even non-medical people …).
Who are your typical patients? Is there any move towards nonsurgical technologies?
I personally perform only "surgical" procedures (breast, nose, face, body-contouring, etc.) but there's an increasing demand for less-invasive or non-invasive procedure. At the present time, we are witnessing the rise of suspension threads (which are rapidly removing the face-lift) and the diffusion of lipofilling and lipostructure.
How does malpractice insurance and liability work in Italy? What typically happens when patients experience complications or are unhappy with results?
This is a big problem in Italy. We have almost ten times the number of legal litigations than the European average. That's mainly due to dishonesty: a) of the patients, claiming to suffer from inexistent disorders; b) of the lawyers, accepting to file a claim without any reason; c) of the consultant plastic surgeons, certifying an inexistent malpractice of a colleague. Any of these figures acts hoping to obtain an economic advantage: few of them do it, most of them have economic damage, and cause present and future damages to people around them. That's one of the typical stupid human behaviors. A judiciary statistic of few years ago sets at 96% the rate of malpractice claims in Italy where NO DAMAGE is found. Someone should stop this, and the problem is studied in Parliament.
Currently, if a patient decides to do this, he claims a damage, finds a lawyer who writes to the surgeon and asks for compensation. Usually the insurance company tries a transaction (discarding the fact that its assisted surgeon is right or wrong) to close the practice with low economic damage, immediately cancels the policy and increases the insurance premium. If a transaction is not possible, the surgeon is sued and most of the times "the Monster is whisked on First Page", to discover years and years later that he was right.
More than that, Italy is one of the last countries all over the world where medical malpractice can be considered (depending on gravity) as criminal offense, as well as murderer. That's why has been coined the term of "medical burnout" and why it is more and more hard to find young surgeons: too much risk, too high of costs, and too little professional satisfaction.
How do you market yourselves to patients and what do you do that your competitors aren't doing? What have you found that works? What hasn't? How successful are your marketing efforts?
1) Since the beginning of my professional career, I made investments on my skills, trying to give the best of myself. Today I prefer quality to quantity: I think to be a very precise surgeon, and to achieve this I perform the half the average number of operations per year of my colleagues. The quality of my results is wonderful advertising, and I have a high percentage of new patients who are friends or relatives of my old patients.
2) I self-built and self-published the first edition of my web-site on 1995: at that time no-one had yet understood the power of this instrument. Today a good reputation on the web (certainly helped by the quality) is a wonderful source of new patients.
All the above works very well. It took many years, of course, but today I make very few marketing efforts with very good results.
I don't think that money is a good marketing strategy, and if you want to perform "low cost" surgery you will get "high cost" problems. Similarly "telling lies" is not a good strategy, it can provide very quick results, but it ensures quick and painful falls as well.
Have you seen any marketing by other physicians that you would consider to be "unethical" in some way?
"Unethical" is lying. Whenever one surgeon says to perform something that he is not skilled to do, says that a procedure is "risk-free", says that the result is 100% guaranteed, says that he has no complications, alters the number of treated cases and so on, that's unethical. I see this every day since decades, not only in Italy but everywhere. Lies have no boundaries.
You are an active member of various international medical societies. As a plastic surgeon in Italy, why have you chosen to be a member of international medical societies? Do you think that American societies are perceived to be superior to Italian medical societies in any way?
First of all, I am proudly member of the Italian Society of Plastic Surgery, and Italian plastic surgery, as I said, is one of the more ancient and prestigious of the world. I think that "Italian" feelings and skills are perfect to form a high-level plastic surgeon, I think that Italian people have a good perception of this, and they don't think that many foreign plastic surgeons are superior to ours. More than that, the highest level and more selective international society of which I am a member is the European Society of Plastic Surgeons, which has a great community of very good Italian plastic surgeons.
My international affiliations are prestigious, of course, but are mainly due to keep contacts with a lot of valuable colleagues around the world, to participate to high level international meetings, to be subscribed to prestigious scientific journals and to publish on them.
As a plastic surgeon, where do you see new cosmetic technologies developing into capabilities that surgeons don't have? Do you see technology or other treatments like stem cell therapies or drug/hormone therapies replacing or being synergistic to surgery in the future?
I think that technology will almost quickly replace the majority of surgical procedure: in the last 30 years, the amount of surgical invasiveness has dramatically decreased, and today we have already shifted many procedures to "low-invasiveness" or "non-invasiveness". The future of the surgery as a whole (not only plastic surgery) is doomed and, sooner or later (decades, centuries, I don't know), surgery will disappear from the face of the earth.
Before talking to a patient, listen carefully to him. Listening to a patient requires forbearance, develops empathy, and is the strongest insurance policy at the lowest cost.

Q: Optimising pandas loop on a large dataframe while needing to limit the rows the loop performs on I have a very large dataframe (around 8 million rows) with the following structure. it has been sorted by code and date and df.head() looks like this:
    code    date    open    high    low close   volume
0   1AD 20160822    0.305   0.31    0.26    0.28    312489
1   1AD 20160823    0.28    0.28    0.27    0.27    66638
2   1AD 20160824    0.27    0.27    0.255   0.26    161883
3   1AD 20160825    0.255   0.255   0.24    0.24    120307
4   1AD 20160826    0.225   0.225   0.22    0.22    109000

there are 5160 unique codes in the database each with varying date ranges.
What I am trying to do is add to this dataframe or create a new one, with  another column for % change (and after i would like to add the difference too) of the figures in the close column. currently the way I have coded this is by:
creating a variable that holds all the unique codes
y = df.code.unique()

and then creating an empty data frame to append new values too later:
dfchng = pd.DataFrame(data=d, columns=
['code','date','open','high','low','close','volume'])
dfchng.drop(dfchng.index, inplace=True)
dfchng.head()

code    date    open    high    low close   volume

and then creating a loop which, for each code will create a new dataframe which only holds the data for the individual code and will perform pct_change() on it, this is then appended to the dfchng dataframe i created earlier.
for i in y:
    dfiter = df[(df.code == str(i))]
    dfiter[['change_%']] = dfiter[['close']].pct_change()
    dfchng = dfchng.append(dfiter)

the reason i have done things this way is because i need to only calculate the change within each unique code, so I can't iterate over the original dataframe without getting incorrect values where one unique codes records end and another begins unless there is a method i don't know about.
the problem I have is that this has taken so far over 10 hours to run and is still going, I know of methods such as .apply() and .iterrows() but I'm not sure how i can apply them in this case. I've tried a few different things to get to this point now but I'm not really sure how to move forward and optimise this loop to perform quicker.
ultimately the end goal for this process is a dataframe that looks like this
    change_%    close   code    date    high    low open    volume
0        NaN    0.280   1AD 20160822    0.31    0.26    0.305   312489
1   -0.035714   0.270   1AD 20160823    0.28    0.27    0.28    66638

which i can put back into my database

A: groupby + pct_change
df['change%']=df.groupby('code').close.pct_change()
df
Out[128]:
  code      date   open   high    low  close  volume   change%
0  1AD  20160822  0.305  0.310  0.260   0.28  312489       NaN
