Q: How to remove rows with characters in Python I have a dataframe with a bunch of floats and numeric values but there are some rows with characters mixed inbetween that I'm trying to remove. I've converted my entire dataframe to strings with data = data.astype(str) and I've tried using X = X[X.var1.isalpha()] but it gives me an error 'Series' object has no attribute 'isalpha'. Thanks.

A: Based on this you need to call .str on the series you want to check, i.e.
X.var1.str.isalpha()

A: You can use pd.Series.str.replace, which accepts regex, i.e.:
new = df.astype(str).apply(lambda x: x.str.replace('[a-zA-Z]+', '')).astype(float)

A: IIUC this is what you want:
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':['1','x',2,7], 'b':[2,3,'y',8]})

#   a  b
#0  1  2
#1  x  3
#2  2  y
#3  7  8

df.apply(pd.to_numeric, errors = "coerce").dropna()
#     a    b
#0  1.0  2.0
#3  7.0  8.0

I'm working on my profile and want to change my profile picture. No matter what I do, it always reverts to the old picture. It says it has updated successfully and shows the new pic, but then immediately goes back to the other one. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Yes, I finally gave up and stayed with the boring letter pic. My first profile pic didn't work right and ever since couldn't revise it or make the revised one stick.
@mare333 Thanks, now I know it isn't just me! I emailed SVS a couple of weeks ago and they said they would pass it along, but I never heard back.
I am having this same problem! Anyone have a fix yet?
Hi @heathertbl , I finally got mine to work. I emailed them a couple of times but also kept trying. i don't know if they fixed it from their end or if it finally "took." I would definitely contact them so they know this problem is still happening. Good luck!

Q: How can I resolve an Error 404 issue in ct-ng build? I got crosstool-ng for openSuSE 42.2 via YaST (version 1.21.0-4.22). Installing crosstool itself did work fine, but when trying to build the crosscompiler with ct-ng build, I get the following error message:

[ERROR]  >>      '/usr/share/doc/packages/crosstool-ng/ct-ng.1.21.0/B - Known issues.txt'

The problem is: I can't influence the contents of Linaro's web servers. So is there a workaround to circumvent this issue?

A: You use ct-ng 1.21 and that is very old (25 May 2015) and links can break.
I cross compile a lot with ct-ng and build lots of x-libs. But I build ct-ng from the sources. And I don't use HEAD or MASTER. I try instead the newest tag and if it fails I choose an older one and so on until I find a working tag. The current that works for me is "tags/crosstool-ng-1.23.0".
mkdir -p $HOME/_dev/_build
cd $HOME/_dev/_build

git clone https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng
cd crosstool-ng

# check out an older state, but they are not always error-free
#git checkout master # can have errors
git tag -l # list tags
git checkout tags/crosstool-ng-1.23.0 # choose last tag that works for you

./bootstrap

mkdir -p $HOME/_dev/_bin/ct-ng
./configure --prefix=$HOME/_dev/_bin/ct-ng

make
make install
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/_dev/_bin/ct-ng/bin" # if you want to use ct-ng in current shell

cd $HOME
rm -rf $HOME/_dev/_build

A: OK, I cound solve the issue myself: I had to un-check the Linaro compiler options and resort to the plain gcc. Additionally, I couldn't start the config & build process from my home directory as the config tool would store everything in a file named .config, but there is already a directory named .config.

Expect to see some flashing lights in front of David L. Lawrence Hall soon.
The stoplights controlling a long-awaited crosswalk on Forbes Avenue between Lawrence Hall and the stairway to Schenley Quad are set to be turned on March 22 or March 25, according to Officer Guy Johnson, Pitt Police community relations. PennDOT controls the light and has informed Pitt Police the lights are just about ready.
Pitt had hoped that railings would be installed along the sidewalk to funnel people into the crosswalk, but Johnson said the city did not approve that idea.
But Johnson said everyone should obey the signals and cross at the crosswalk. Pitt Police hope to have an officer stationed near the lights for the first few days they're fully operational.
Once activated, the lights will be on flash for three days to allow motorists to get acclimated to there being a signal where there wasn't one previously, Johnson said. After the three days, the signal will then be fully operational. PennDOT will then start a 30-day test to make sure the signal functions properly.
There also will be crosswalk lines painted on the street in the near future.

So make Banksy wall stickers your décor of choice!


If you are physically active, you know that the harder you train and play, the more fuel and essential nutrients your body needs. Whether you're a weekend sports enthusiast or a competitive athlete, good nutrition is vital for both optimal performance and staying healthy.
For athletes, getting sufficient amounts of omega-3 fats, such as EPA and DHA, is of particular importance because of their multiple health benefits.
Being proactive is key. EPA and DHA must be in the tissues before exercise begins for maximum benefit. It takes weeks, not hours or days, to increase omega-3 levels in tissues. This means sufficient amounts of omega-3s must be consumed regularly. Increasing your intake of fish or supplementing with concentrated omega-3 from fish oil will prepare you for great performance and optimal recovery.
Plan your nutritional win. How will you incorporate the amount of EPA and DHA omega-3 your body needs to support your athletic goals?
Concentrated fish oil is a more convenient and efficient way to consume higher amounts of omega-3 for many athletes. A healthful diet and adequate fluid intake is important for those engaged in physical activity, and evidence suggests that both the weekend sports enthusiast and the trained competitive athlete will improve their performance by including EPA and DHA omega-3 in their daily regimen.

Science prof's office untidy - shock claim
The Mail on Sunday is on the case:
[T]hanks to the row over leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit, we now learn that this body's director, Phil Jones, works in a disorganised fashion amid chaos and mess. [...] His colleagues recall that his office was 'often surrounded by jumbled piles of papers'.
Elsewhere in the paper, we learn the full horror:
According to Mr Harrabin, colleagues of Professor Jones said 'his office is piled high with paper, fragments from over the years, tens of thousands of pieces of paper, and they suspect what happened was he took in the raw data to a central database and then let the pieces of paper go because he never realised that 20 years later he would be held to account over them'.
Tens of thousands of pieces of paper! Chaos and mess! Jumbled piles! In a scientist's office! Having been inside the offices of many science professors, and having worked for a year with social scientists who've made close anthropological studies of the everyday work of natural scientists, I'm shocked to the core.
Labels: climate, genomics, squibs
Some of the most un technical ecology researchers I worked with have all their data books and original data files from their undergrad years in the early 70's. You do not let data wither away even if you are the only one that can understand it.
The grasslands work in Colorado, USA had the data books from the late 1800's. The excuse that I did not think anyone would want the raw data is not a good one.
There is a push in published research lately that unless you release the complete raw data it is not published. The US NSF is requiring this in some cases now.
By eriko, at Sunday, February 14, 2010 6:50:00 pm
The data in this case consists of copies of temperature records collected by meteorological services around the world, not by Prof Jones. Keeping the original data is their responsibility, not his.
By Ken, at Sunday, February 14, 2010 7:16:00 pm
That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
It is not really a good or relevant defence if the entire essence of your work has been precisely to collect the data from those original sources, calibrate it, and apply particular mathematical transformations to it. Is it really your experience that scientists don't give a damn about reproducibility?
By Colby Cosh, at Monday, February 15, 2010 2:51:00 pm
While Colby Cosh is probably right, this still doesn't make it a malign cosnpiracy to hide the true facts about climate change.
By ian, at Monday, February 15, 2010 5:17:00 pm
Of course scientists give a damn about reproducibility.
As I understand it, anyone who's interested in reproducing the results is welcome to do what the CRU scientists did: go and buy the raw data from national weather services all around the world.
By Ken, at Monday, February 15, 2010 5:55:00 pm
Ken: a propos of nothing in particular: I'll be at The Early Days of a Better Future? event at which you're soon to appear, so you'll be getting back that book you lent me last year. Apologies for holding on to it for so long. ;)
By JMcL63, at Monday, February 15, 2010 5:55:00 pm
Hey, you're welcome! Hope you've found it interesting.
Yep. It's a good read, although as a simple biography it's more than just a wee bit short on analysis. Still it was grist to the mill of my anti-sectarian analysis. Meanwhile, I picked up a copy of Revolutionary History's Culture and Revolution in the Thought of Leon Trotsky in Foyle's bookshop in London last week- grist to the mill of my efforts to develop an analysis of 'postmodern' geek culture by way of a critique of Trotsky's theories of art and culture. It's a good read too.

I haven't started mine either.
This concept sounds promising, so I hope something comes of it.
got some stuff done, basic player movement is working with the gamepad or arrow keys, also added a basic enemy type that drifts around and sort of clusters into groups if there are multiples. I'm leaning towards a kind of odd idea for the enemy bullets, where it is a dense spray that will evenly space itself out over time and hang around. ...also messed with my synth for some sound ideas.
Next up is to get the enemies shooting and see if I can figure something out for the bullet spray, also make the player cancel them as needed and fire back.
staying up late as usual.. getting in a good groove, I was tuning the Player's craft movement with the canceling attack, when you hold Z it blasts the field around the craft (player) which will cancel bullets (soaking them in), but it drops all precise movement on the craft, just drifts to a stop based on the last direction and how fast it was going.. If you start mashing the direction keys the craft slightly tries to move in the direction you're mashing, but with a randomized cone of angles.. so you could still control the craft while soaking bullets as it drifts along but it isn't too precise, basically I'm trying to get the feeling of all power going into the canceling feature when the Player uses that... once you let go of the button you regain responsive control over the craft.
That sounds interesting. Worth a try, right? I like little details like that; they can really add something, even if it's all in your head.
added a video clip in first post..
this prototype is getting a bit weird and hard to understand, there are these blobs of static (enemies) that grow from 8 larger enemies floating behind the level, the larger 8 enemies eat parts of the level in order to create the blobs of static enemies.... this also reveals the larger enemies to the player.
I need to balance it a bit + there is more I'd like to try to do with the large enemies to make things clear to the player..
Yay! Someone else making a multidirectional shooter!
I'm not quite sure what's going on in the video, but I like what I see behind the compression artifacts. I really want to try it.
Definitely one of the more interesting concepts I've seen in these sessions.
I'll have to see tomorrow after school. it's LATEE. You and your tortoisesvns.
let me know if it doesn't run, or runs really poorly.. it probably will have issues with intel video cards. No sound at the moment, or at least it stopped working for me.
There are 8 large enemies that you need to destroy before they "eat" the background, I don't think I have the game over in for when they eat the background.... but if you destroy them it should reset.
the scoring is a bit odd, you can play it two different ways it seems (partially by accident), currently you can cancel infinitely, but really you only grab a max of 100 bullets... so don't think you're getting more points by soaking in stuff forever, it caps at 100. I need to fix the infinite cancel so that you die if it goes much over that.
" 'initializeProject' function could not be found."
here is an updated video.. the changes aren't in the current version uploaded. I have some ideas I want to try, the background being eaten will recharge the Player's ability to cancel bullets, so you will have to race around and refill from the areas not eaten by enemies... might be fun, might not be ! I'd also like to make it a challenge to stay in the cancel mode, but it is starting to lean more towards needing an analog stick.
Missing file: C:/Users/NAME/Desktop/New Folder /DATa.BOMr/common/main.cs!
Missing file: C:/Users/NAME/Desktop/New Folder /DATa.BOMr/game/main.cs!
The sounds coming out of my headphones as I watch that vid are turning me on. It's too bad that music isn't in the game... Still, loving those analog textures in the sound effects, and the visual style is awesome. Unnfortunately this doesn't run very well on my laptop. There's significant slowdown when the action heats up, and at that point I end up dying from not being able to see what's going on.
The game itself is interesting, but it's not to appealing cuz I cant get a handle on whats going on.
Ok, I absorb bullets, let go, things die. Thats all I can wrap myself around. Im the kind of guy who likes to know all that's going on, and this is seriously bothering me as I have a vague idea, but cant figure it out 100%.
I got it to work, somehow. Don't recall what I did.
totally understand, the version I got done for the deadline is lacking some things and it doesn't quite have the challenging/addicting quality I'm working at, the bullet canceling and attack is there, and the large enemies (Which are mostly invisible in the uploaded version-they flash red when eating/destroying background) spawn the smaller enemies as they eat background pieces, but the Player's canceling attack is going to be changed so that you need to hover over the background to recharge, making it more frantic, and also a limit on the canceling (since it is infinitely enabled currently). In the recent video the large enemies are more visible as they leave trails, and in both versions all enemies flash blue when hit.
The level-clear idea is that if the background is completely cleared you would have lost, and the faster you can seek and kill the large enemies before the background is cleared would severely factor into your score (more background saved being better).
You also do much more damage if you soak more enemy bullets, but it is capped at 100... But for example if you soak 100 bullets, then release and it grabs 4 of the closest enemies within range, it will do 25 damage each. If you rapidly cancel-attack with only 1 or 2 bullets soaked and it grabs 4 enemies you're doing much less (though you could hook up an autofire..... I need to fix that). It also multiplies their point value by the bullets soaked at the time of killing an enemy, something like that.. I need to make it so it is risky approaching the 100 bullet limit.
I also need to work on performance, I'd like ot try converting it to XNA, which would help get many things out of script..
You certainly have some unique ideas. Keep it up. Your bullet-canceling attack reminds me of Bangai-O.
I definitely want to see where this one goes in the future.
I don't have enough reaction time to play this game. They shoot some bullets, and I can't get the shield up in time.
This game's framerate is steady in the single digits on my desktop PC, around 4-5 fps. Why isn't this running in full screen?

Home InDepth Op-Eds Author of NYT Anti-Israel Piece Works for Group Funded by Qatar
Author of NYT Anti-Israel Piece Works for Group Funded by Qatar
26 Adar II 5779 – April 1, 2019
Photo Credit: Serge Attal/Flash90
{Originally posted to the Free Beacon website}
The author of this Sunday's New York Times magazine cover story about the campaign to boycott, divest, and sanction the state of Israel works for an organization whose major donor, Qatar, is also the largest state funder of the terrorist group Hamas. Other significant donors to the author's organization, the International Crisis Group, are leading supporters of the anti-Semitic boycott movement the author describes in his piece.
The publication of the article, "How the Battle Over Israel and Anti-Semitism Is Fracturing American Politics," represents another salvo in the New York Times' continuing promotion of anti-Israel writers and views.
The author, Nathan Thrall, is tied to a large network of BDS supporters that are funded into the millions by the Qatari government, which has long been engaged in efforts to spy on the American Jewish community and pro-Israel officials. Qatar's foreign influence operations in Washington, D.C., have flown mostly under the radar, but are part of a larger proxy battle being waged by wealthy Middle Eastern governments eager to peddle influence in powerful D.C. circles.
Thrall, who the Times presents as a disinterested expert, serves as director of the Arab-Israeli Project at the International Crisis Group, or ICG, a left-leaning advocacy organization that has received around $4 million from the Qatari government in the just the last year. Qatar's donations represent around 23 percent of ICG's total budget. Qatar is not mentioned in Thrall's 11,500-word piece.
ICG also has raised $1 million in the past several years from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, a prolific and open funder of the BDS movement in the United States.
Another significant portion of ICG's funding—more than $5 million in the last three years—comes from the Open Society Foundations, run by liberal billionaire George Soros. Open Society funds dozens of Palestinian organizations that are prominent members of the BDS movement.
ICG's president is former Obama administration official Robert Malley, another Israel critic who was fired from President Barack Obama's 2008 presidential election team after he met with the Hamas terror organization. He joined the Obama administration in 2014.
Thrall has been affiliated with ICG during the bulk of his career, which dates to 2010 with bylines at the BBC, the Guardian, the Washington Post, and CNN.
In his writing, Thrall has gone to great lengths to portray Israel as an aggressor in its conflict with Palestinian terrorists.
In a 2011 dispatch in the Times, Thrall argued that Israeli policies are to blame for the violence fostered by Hamas and its terror affiliates. Numerous other reports written over the years demonstrate a clear anti-Israel bias and attempt to portray the conflict as the Jewish state's fault, not that of the terrorists who attack it.
As Hamas attacked Israel in 2014, Thrall wrote in the Times' Review of Books that the terror group "demonstrated that its militancy and its willingness to endure a ferocious Israeli attack could achieve more in weeks than [Palestinian President Mahmoud] Abbas's talks have achieved in years. During the Gaza war, Israel did not announce a single new settlement in the West Bank."
In another 2014 report, Thrall wrote that Hamas's terrorist bombing on Israel are the "direct result of the choice by Israel and the West."
Thrall has openly expressed support for the BDS movement, which he claimed is the "leading cause for advocates of free speech." Pro-Israel groups, Thrall has argued, are responsible for what he described as a "decades-long attempt" to "stifle pro-Palestinian speech in the U.S."
Thrall's advocacy with the Qatari-funded ICG is raising further questions about influence peddling by terror-tied governments. Critics argue that Thrall and the New York Times should disclose his ties and what appears to be a clear anti-Israel bias.
David Brog, executive director of the Maccabee Task Force and former executive director of the Christians United For Israel, or CUFI told the Free Beacon that the article is clearly framed to portray Israel in an unflattering–and factually inaccurate–manner.
"I didn't think it was possible, but the New York Times has reached a new low," Brog said. "This article is an extended, one-sided endorsement of Rep. Ilhan Omar's assertion that US support for Israel is purchased with Jewish dollars. To Thrall, Israel can do no right and the Palestinians can do no wrong. He condemns Israel's "occupation" while barely mentioning Israel's repeated offers to exit the territory — and the serial Palestinian rejections of these offers. He criticizes Israel's security measures without ever acknowledging the Palestinian terror that necessities them. He can't even bring himself to admit that the Palestinian Arabs launched the 1948 War in an effort to destroy Israel — he writes that the war "erupted." The list goes on. I'd expect more balanced and thorough reporting from a high school newspaper."
Josh Block, a veteran pro-Israel official who serves as the CEO and president of the Israel Project, described the Times' failure to disclose Thrall's biases and ICG's funding as "horrifying."
"It is outrageous that any newspaper, let alone one that takes itself so seriously as the NYT would commit what is such an obvious and horrifying violation of basic journalistic ethics and standards by publishing such a misleading article—presented as 'news'—rife with falsehoods, ad hominem attacks on Jews and even including implying supporters of Israel were responsible for the Tree of Life massacre, all without acknowledging, even hiding the fact, that it is authored by a supporter of the 'Destroy Israel Movement,' which calls itself B.D.S., and who is employed and paid by an organization whose primary funders are leading sponsors and funders of the effort to destroy and boycott the Jewish state, starting with Qatar, followed by the Rockefellers and OSI," Block said. "It boggles the mind. "
The New York Times did not respond to a request for comment.

Discussion in 'Ask the Meister' started by cybergray, Aug 8, 2002.
Can anyone recommend in favor of or against William Hill? I don't see it listed here as recommended or rogue, or at OPL either. ??
I've been playing at William Hill for awhile. I've got no major complaints. The casino runs pretty much like InterCasino. The monthly bonus wager req. are a little high, usually 15x ($40 dep. + $40 bonus = $1200 wager. req.). I'm not a heavy duty player, so my experiences are limited.
Thanks, jdtimi. I've been doing a little database with my own preferences, do da, and like William Hill, but wanted another opinion. Same with Jackpot City. I can't find it on Bryan's lists, or the OPA.
I played Jackpot City enough to cash out my sign-up bonus. I try to find casinos with good on-going (monthly) promotions or tournaments. William Hill has a monthly bonus program, Jackpot City didn't. Plus, when you sign up for Jackpot City, they bombard you with junk email (spam) about non-related activities. I believe JC is part of a group of about 5 casinos that all behave the same. I'm sure the others are listed on their web site.
BTW, I'd love to see your preference list :^) I'm always looking for new casinos.
I just receive an email from a promotion from Casino Phophet This email is not visible to you. (Casino Prophet Players). The casinos belong to the Gaming Club Group of Casinos. They are advertising 325.00 bonuses and over 240 games. The name of the casinos are The Gamiing Club; Home Casino;Showdown Casino; and Jackpot City.
Yes, you get ALL THIS and so much more!
Thanks, babysister, for those links and advice. I did play demo at Jackpot City for awhile, but I got bumped off when I went to the bank too many times after going bust. Since I'm just getting my feet wet, I think I'll stick with the casinos on Bryan's list for now. In fact, I just wired a few bucks to Captain Cook's. The folks there are really decent.
william hill to me , is a nice place to play, i have been playing there for a while, right now i am up over 1000 bucks, when i cash out, most of the time it will be there the next day. the black jack is fair and the baccart , and u can play with someone at the black table , almost any time.
They are back by a good name, give them a try.
Just in case you didn't know and it might help. William Hill is one of the big four high street bookmakers here in the UK. Ladbrokes (recommended by admin) being their biggest competitor. The bookies here have a pretty good reputation (as far as you can being a bookie !) and are pretty well regulated. I find it unlikely that they would run any sort of scam. They have way to much to loose.
yeah go ahead and play at will hill, just don't get mad when lose to their rigged bj.
yeah u must work for the casino. Do you play bs?
Is there really any on-line casino that isn't rigged? Any thoughts on Roulette?
Stay away from RTG software based casinos, they have become nothing but problems lately and definately not a place for a newbie to cut his teeth. Stick to Microgaming, Playtech, and Cryptologic based casinos until you have more experience.
Also, be SURE you read every single word of the terms and conditions posted on the website and in any email offers you receive. Double check these terms with the casino BEFORE you play one cent of real money so that you completely understand what is required of you. If you don't like or understand the terms, tell them to take back the bonus money before you play even a single hand/game. Once you start playing with bonus money, you are committed to those terms & conditions and for the most part you can't cashout until you meet those terms.
Also, get yourself a little notebook and keep a record of your deposits, play & withdrawls, especially when there are bonuses involved. When you ask a casino for clarification on something, I suggest you do so by email rather than phone so you have it in writing if there's a dispute. Print out and/or copy the terms & conditions page to your hard drive if you accept a bonus.
Neteller is a good payment method. Its fast & reliable for both depositing & withdrawing money. I personally don't like Firepay and don't recommend it. When you go to withdraw money from a casino, they will usually ask for some identification (usually a license/passport and a utility bill, etc). You should scan in these items and have them on your hard drive so you can send them in as soon as they are requested. That will speed up yor payouts. Make sure you always use accurate information (birthdate, address, etc) when you sign up, or you'll have problems when you cashout.
Also, I'd suggest setting up an email address specifically for your casino & neteller activities. That way, when the spam starts coming (and it will), it won't be coming to your regular email address. And keep an eye on message boards like this one and others so you know which casinos to avoid.
Hope these suggestions help you with your new hobby, and GOOD LUCK!

Damian Conway at Scotsman: Don't change languages. Change your language!
The brilliant speaker and instructor Damian Conway is back in Oslo!
For the 5th consecutive year, Oslo.pm has the honor of organizing an entertaining show presentation with Damian Conway at the Scotsman on the 2nd floor, on Wed. 20. April at 18:00.
We expect the room to fill up, so come early if possible.
Don't change languages. Change your language!
No programming language is perfect. Whether you develop in PHP or Perl, Python or Java, Scala or sh, Clojure or Cobol, there's something about your devlang that you find awkward and ungainly and difficult – some misfeature (or missing feature) that makes your job unnecessarily harder. Some construct or constraint that irritates you beyond all reason.
The grass often looks greener on the other side. You hear people raving about Haskell or Scala or Erlang or Groovy or Perl 6, and you wonder whether it might be better to migrate to one of those brave new worlds.
But to change your environment, you don't always have to change planets. Most of the time, it's vastly easier and more effective just to improve your existing planet.
In this talk, Damian will look at four major annoyances and blockers in one of his own favorite languages (Perl 5), and explain how he went about converting them into features and enablers…just by writing a little more Perl.
This will be an entertaining and insightful talk by one of the worlds very greatest communicators in programming. Although presented from a Perl point of view, the topics discussed apply to programming in any language in general.
Entrance is free and open for all. Food and drinks will be sold at the bar. If you want food, we recommend you come early to get served before the talk starts.
There will also be a talk by Damian on Friday the 22nd: Damian Conway at UiO: Perl 6 - More Concurrency, Less Contusion.

Hawks' Trae Young not among 44 finalists for Team USA
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young will take part in his first three-point contest at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in Chicago.

Atlanta Hawks | Feb 11, 2020
By Sarah K. Spencer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hawks point guard Trae Young, named a starter in the upcoming NBA All-Star game, was not one of 44 finalists for the 2020 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team announced by USA Basketball Monday.
Young is currently fourth in the NBA in scoring at 29.7 points per game and second in assists at 9.1 per game.
Before Monday's game against the Magic, Young said he didn't have too much to say about being left off the list, but said he would have wanted to play for Team USA.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hurt by seeing it. ... Obviously I would have wanted to play on the team," Young said.
Lloyd Pierce:
"(Trae) deserves to be a first-time All-Star this year. He deserves to be a starter. And he deserves an opportunity to the Olympics. His time will come." pic.twitter.com/NWijG2qbS4

Forward John Collins was also excluded from the list of candidates who will eventually make up the 12-member team to represent the United States in Tokyo. Both Young and Collins were part of the Select Team that helped the U.S. training for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
On Twitter, Young wished good luck to the 44 finalists and the 12 players who will eventually make the roster.
Congrats to these 44 Players, and to the 12 that make the Roster....🇺🇸 https://t.co/rMvEDK6FV6
— Trae Young (@TheTraeYoung) February 10, 2020
Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce remains an assistant on the staff of Gregg Popovich for Team USA.
When asked if it was hard to see Young left off the list, Pierce said: "No, because honestly I respect the league, I respect the levels and layers you have to go through. Trae's having a great year. These guys have had great careers.
"And you have to go through certain things and you have to understand when it's your time, when it's your opportunity. He's a first-time All-Star. We're talking about guys, three-time Olympic appearances, and international basketball is different. It's different. You don't just go because you're good. You go because you've earned the right, the honor. You have the right mindset.
"You have to give up 45 days of your summer to commit to your country, and it's not easy. And the guys that are on that list, Harrison Barnes, Mason Plumlee, those guys have done it, they've committed to it. And that's a big part of the process. Being able to commit and willing to commit to doing it, just as we as coaches have done."
Pierce later clarified that Young deserves the accolades he's getting this season, and that his time will come for a shot at the Olympics.
"He is one of the top players in the NBA," Pierce said. "He deserves to be a first-time All-Star this year, he deserves to be a starter, and he deserves an opportunity to the Olympics. And his time will come."
"He deserves to be a first-time All-Star this year, he deserves to be a starter, and he deserves an opportunity to the Olympics. And his time will come."
Lloyd Pierce clarified his earlier comments on Trae Young: pic.twitter.com/c2lBSjbvv1

It's May 2018. You have $20,000 divided in a managed portfolio of mutual funds and a savings account.
In June, the economy begins to decline and so does the stock market. Right now, you have no real idea of how the stock market works or even how much of a fee you are paying to the manager of your account.
July comes and your portfolio of mutual funds is worth half the amount you invested and you sell your portfolio with a major loss. All you have is the few thousand in your savings account. Plus, that money that was in your mutual fund was for your future home.
Is it really worth having someone manage your money then? And what should you invest your money in?
Well, for the first question, you should NOT let someone else manage your money! Unless you have millions of dollars and you don't have time to manage your investments, then hand it over to managers who have yours in mind.
For the rest of you who are not in that million dollar club yet, you should actively manage your own finances. By simply educating yourself by reading and doing research, you will know what investment goal you want.
If you want long-term dividends, you can find and invest in companies or real estate that will give you dividends or rent income.
If you want fast money, you can choose stocks that are popular and ride the wave.
At the end of the day, you are in control. You aren't paying anyone to manage your account. Those businesses and mutual fund managers will drop companies who are not performing well every quarter or companies that other funds are holding. It is a popularity contest where you do not win every time. The fees can turn a potential million dollar portfolio to less than $800,000 after fees.
What is the best secure investment in my opinion?
Of course, even gold and silver prices are manipulated, but every currency you know of is manipulated. But what is the means of currency that the WORLD is secretly hoarding? Silver and Gold.
No one trusts fiat currency anymore. Everyone trusts real money.
When the economy tanks and your dollars aren't worth much, precious metals surge. If you will hold for centuries or just wait for a surge, save your money and invest in real money.
Look into cryptocurrencies. The more I do my research on this and educate myself, the more I know that there will be a rocky but successful future for cryptos. Stack that gold and silver and bitcoin.


The vector jquery.ui buttons are a little odd at present, especially the borders. Munaf has done some work on button styles more recently, so something more along those lines may also be in order so long as it matches the skin(s).
Given the lack of support for coloured buttons in general (Bug 37744), perhaps the new styles should be moved into the common css while we're at it, but that's more an issue with the linked bug than this.
bzimport set Reference to bz44855.
to have Vector to see the buttons.
I generally think that shadows and gradients contribute to poorer contrast, worse readability and in the end lead to usability issues with users that don't have very sharp eyes or something.
To the contrary, I love the suggested styles. They're neat and simple, the gradients are subtle, and it looks like they would work equally well without the shadow (and would be readable without the gradient as well).
The blue on the default button in current style is plain awful, and the outlines of the buttons cause them to "blur" visually. The background gradient of the default button is also pretty aggressive, it looks like a metal pipe.
Shadows and gradients can indeed contribute to poorer contrast and readability and often do, but the same could be said of any use of colour or space. The key is to take care with these things regardless of which particular effects are employed, which I have tried to do here.
What happens if I put this here?

The pilasters reaching down were adorned with a glistering substance (I know not what) under glass (as it seemed), resembling—a homely fancy, but I judged it to be sugar-candy; yet to my raised imagination, divested of its homelier qualities, it appeared a glorified candy.
And all that history, much that fiction weaves.
For with G. D., to be absent from the body is sometimes (not to speak profanely) to be present with the Lord.
Damn the age; I will write for Antiquity!
If peradventure, Reader, it has been thy lot to waste the golden years of thy life—thy shining youth—in the irksome confinement of an office; to have thy prison days prolonged through middle age down to decrepitude and silver hairs, without hope of release or respite; to have lived to forget that there are such things as holidays, or to remember them but as the prerogatives of childhood; then, and then only, will you be able to appreciate my deliverance.

Based at Yale University, Eli has spent over ten years working at the nexus of environmental justice, education and sustainable land management in sub-Saharan Africa and the United States.
At ELTI, Eli is learning about and researching innovative teaching methods that combine online platforms and field experiences to achieve global and local restoration efforts. He is also researching how to establish demonstration sites for capacity development in the tropics. Raised in Massachusetts, Eli has always loved the natural world. Growing up, he regularly searched for critters under logs or in trees. Other times, he would people-watch in parks and coffee shops. As an undergraduate at Brandeis University, Eli studied cultural anthropology and French, deepening his understanding of being, living and communicating. Yet it was during his four years as an agroforestry Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal, Mali and Sierra Leone that he forged strong relationships with tropical forests and West Africans. This inspired him to pursue a Master's in Environmental Management at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. During this time, he conducted ethnographic research in rural Mali, assisted a multilateral green infrastructure project in New Haven and participated in community-led urban restoration efforts with high school students.
The ELTI team comprises the hardest-working and most passionate individuals I have ever met. I love our courage in taking on demonstrative challenges.

Six arrested on fraud charges
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrested six people on grand theft, fraud and conspiracy charges in Wellington. The six stole more than $136,000 in federal grant money, deputies said.
Deputies said the suspects lied to housing authorities on applications about things like criminal histories and who they were living with.
Among the six arrested was a landlord Scott Epstein, 46, of Lake Worth, who was aware of the fraud and helped orchestrate it, deputies said. Epstein is an American history and government teacher at Atlantic High School in Delray Beach.
Others charged are Pamela Cunningham-Cohen, 37; Latoya Mills, 30; Reginald Bradley, 69; Vivian Smith, 41; and Martha Aguilar, 52, all of Wellington.
Theft charges for grandson
Ramesh Kamali Francis is charged with depleting his 80-year-old grandmother's life savings by squandering almost $50,000 on expenses that included strip club outings and a Universal Studios annual pass.
Francis, 24, of Boynton Beach, began withdrawing money from his grandmother's bank account between July 2007 and April 2008, according to a police report. He made online transfers into his account. His grandmother, Mavis McPherson, had never used a computer.
Francis was arrested late Tuesday and charged with 105 counts of criminal use of identity information, organized scheme to defraud and theft from a person 65 or older.
Francis became estranged from his mother and grandmother, whom he lived with, two years ago, police said.
Sympathy sought for son
The mother of a Boca Raton man who has been arrested 190 times in Florida urged the community to sympathize with Henry Farrell.
Helene Farrell said Thursday her son is bipolar, a manic-depressive illness that causes people to swing from severe depression and extreme highs.
Henry Farrell's 190th arrest came Tuesday when police said he tried to carjack a man at a Starbucks parking lot. He asked for a ride and when the man refused, Farrell appeared to grab a gun from his waistband and threatened to kill him, police said.
Farrell, 46, was charged with carjacking, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. He was arrested twice earlier this month in Miami Beach on theft charges.
Girl charged in fire at school
A 13-year-old girl was charged with arson Thursday after attempting to set her backpack alight inside a classroom at Lauderhill Middle School, said Police Capt. Rick Rocco.
The girl used a lighter to set fire to a piece of paper in her backpack shortly after 9 a.m., but the paper only smoldered, Rocco said.
The school was not evacuated, said Fire Lt. Jeff Levy.
2 men carjack custodian
Two armed robbers carjacked a custodian outside Pompano Beach High School on Thursday morning and stole his SUV, the Broward Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies are looking for the stolen 2007 Chevy Tahoe, which is described as having 26-inch silver rims. It has a Florida specialty tag that promotes saving turtles. The tag number is RHN078.
Police ask anyone with information to call Broward Crime Stoppers, at 954-493-8477.

Dorset has so many unique sites to experience, it can be hard to decide where to start. The number one site ranked by Tripadvisor is The Tank Museum, and if outdoor flora and fauna is what appeals most, there's Sculpture by the Lakes, showcasing art in a perfectly manicured garden. One of the best aspects of travelling in this region, however, is taking in the breathtaking scenery along Dorset's coast. With this in mind, we take a look at the most stunning coastal attractions in Dorset to seek out during a stay at The Acorn Inn or Summer Lodge.
As an Area of Outstanding Beauty and great geological interest, the Burton Bradstock beach and cliffs are a part of the World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast. But this isn't the stretch of coast's only appeal; with ample parking and easy access from nearby Bridport, it's a favourite for families with children.
Anyone in search of a beach for long coastal walks need look no further than Chesil Beach. This 29-kilometre stretch of coastline is considered an important area for wildlife – making bird watching especially rewarding – and is a part of the famed Jurassic Coast.
Surrounding the sheltered waters of the semi-circular Lulworth Cove, which was formed around 10,000 years ago by the sea, are undulating hills that attract keen walkers to set out and explore. Located on the Jurassic Coast, the cove has extraordinary geology to discover too, which the West Lulworth Heritage Centre gives visitors more of an insight into.
As one of the coast's main hubs, and with the safety that comes from having sheltered waters, Portland Harbour is a hive of watersports activity. In fact, these ideal conditions make the harbour the perfect spot for scuba diving, kite surfing and windsurfing, among other thrilling activities.
Hidden amidst cliffs and windswept grass banks, Seatown was once a haunt for fishermen by day and smugglers by night. Now, this quiet pebbly beach attracts visiting families who come to hunt for ancient fossils along the shore.
Established by King George III over 200 years ago, Weymouth seaside resort has long been one of Dorset's most popular holiday retreats. And now, this is truer than ever, with bountiful activities for the whole family, from sea front amusements to an Adventure Park.
As the family sets out on holiday, pets don't need to be left behind. At The Acorn Inn and Summer Lodge your four-legged friends are welcomed in with pet services to cater for their every whim and need; with Lily's Kitchen exclusive dog food menu, a dog-washing station to clean up after those muddy walks, and customised "woof" towels, you know your pet will enjoy their Dorset stay as much as you and the rest of the family do.

» Keys in some Camaros can be knocked loose, shutting down engine
Keys in some Camaros can be knocked loose, shutting down engine
On Behalf of Marsh, Rickard & Bryan, P.C. | Oct 11, 2019 | Firm News
Do you own a 2010 through 2015 Chevrolet Camaro? If you do, you should be aware that the ignition key may be defective. Worse, GM has known about the problem for five years but failed to take effective action. Instead, it offered replacement keys for purchase.
According to Consumer Reports, General Motors originally issued a recall on the faulty keys in 2014. The problem? Drivers might knock the keys with their knees while they were in the ignition. If that happened, the position of the key could be altered enough to shut down the car and even disable the breaks, airbags and power steering. Naturally enough, this problem could vastly increase the danger of an accident.
Does your Camaro have a switchblade-like key?
The Camaros in question are "flip" keys that open like switchblades. Other GM cars also have flip keys, but they are not included in the recall. That GM replaced the Camaro's flip key with a traditional key to resolve the defect.
This year, an employee discovered that flip keys were still being sold to motorists as a replacement part. Consumer Reports found them still available from third-party online sellers. As a result of this discovery, GM has reissued its recall on the defective keys.
"It's outrageous that GM left thousands of its customers at risk for more than five years after its ignition-switch recalls," says Consumer Reports' manager of safety policy. He called on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to investigate why the problem wasn't resolved earlier.
A GM spokesperson told Consumer Reports that the company has not received any reports of crashes or injuries caused by the defect.
Although the key recall took place at the same time, it was unrelated to a massive recall of 15 million vehicles with faulty ignition switches. Chevys, Buicks, Pontiacs, Cadillacs and Saturns were all recalled in 2014, as the faulty ignition switch could cause the vehicles to turn off suddenly during travel. At least 124 fatalities and numerous injuries were allegedly caused by the ignition switch defect.
What to do if you are affected by this defect
NHTSA's recall number is 19E064 and GM's recall number N192223230. If you have a flip-style key for a 2010 through 2015 Camaro, you should contact GM customer service at 800-222-1020. A dealer will replace your flip key with a non-defective traditional key.
If your Camaro turned off or became disabled while it was being driven, you should notify NHTSA's Special Crash Investigations unit at 877-201-3172 or [email protected]. If the incident caused an injury or fatality, you should contact an attorney who practices in product liability law.
