The theme of my thesis was ensured by an external company, named Telekont Kft. They asked me to plan and develop a Direct Digital Control (DDC) for district heating supply.
In the first chapter of my thesis, I would like to briefly introduce the ancestors of the new device, their market segment and the market search of the design. After that I would like to draw up some typical mechanical coupling to show the steps of the planning and to understand the amount and the kind of the technological signals. At the end of this chapter finally I would like to sum the requirements set against the planned device and to describe the system plan.
In the second chapter of my thesis, I will introduce the technological processor of the system, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the base of the software: the embedded Operation System (OS), then I will discuss in more detail the tasks of the processor, within that I will emphasis on the handling and the processing of the technological signals.
In the last big chapter, I will introduce the Central Processor Unit (CPU) of the device and its embedded operating system. In the rest of this chapter I will discuss the tasks of the CPU module and the implemented programs.
In the final chapter, you will find a short summery about the connection of programs and functions implemented in modules and rules of the CGI based dynamic web interface.

More About Giving Tuesday
Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020 is recognized nationally as Giving Tuesday, a philanthropy-oriented holiday created in 2012 in response to the consumerism in November and December since the advent of Black Friday.
South Dakota Day of Giving is a movement to support nonprofits in the state who "are making life just a little bit better for all who call South Dakota home," according to event organizer South Dakota Gives, which is coordinating the statewide #ForSouthDakota campaign.
South Dakota Day of Giving provides nonprofits a chance to highlight their work as donors across the state celebrate generosity by giving to their favorite organizations. Hundreds of South Dakota nonprofits are participating, and a group of local nonprofits have joined together as #BrookingsGives to encourage donations for Brookings County non-profits, including SDHC.
South Dakota's third statewide giving day kicks off at midnight on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020, and continues until 11:59 p.m. that night.
Visit us and Make Your Own Memory
The South Dakota Humanities Council (SDHC), founded in 1972 in response to an act of Congress, is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit and the only cultural organization in the state whose sole mission is to deliver humanities programming to the people of South Dakota.
Our vision is to lead statewide advocacy for the humanities, working with other partners to foster literary and civic engagement.
Any donation you make will enable us to reach more readers, young and old. We hope you'll join us on Tuesday to help make memories for others and make your own memories as you help us celebrate this special day for South Dakota.

Glioblastoma (glioblastoma multiforme; GBM; WHO Grade IV) accounts for the majority of primary malignant brain tumors in adults. Amplification and mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene represent signature genetic abnormalities encountered in GBM. A range of potential therapies that target EGFR or its mutant constitutively active form, ΔEGFR, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and RNA-based agents, are currently in development or in clinical trials for the treatment of GBM. Data from experimental studies evaluating these therapies have been very promising; however, their efficacy in the clinic has so far been limited by both upfront and acquired drug resistance. This review discusses the current status of anti-EGFR agents and the recurrent problem of resistance to these agents that strongly indicates that a multiple target approach will provide a more favorable future for these types of targeted therapies in GBM.

Paper Heart
DOCUDRAMA; 1hr 28min
STARRING: Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera, Jake Johnson
Making music: Yi and Cera
Charlyne Yi is an instantly endearing comedian and musician with a thing about love. The thing is, she doesn't believe in it — but she's curious. So with her friend, director and co-writer Nick Jasenovic (played in the film by Johnson), she sets off on an exploratory voyage that takes her hither and yon — Los Angeles, Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, Vegas, Oklahoma City, New York and five other points in between — and puts her face to face with all sorts of interview subjects. Yi turns her smiley, helium-voiced charm on bikers, seniors, Las Vegas ministers, divorcees and children, among others, all of whom have something to say about what love is and how it works-or doesn't.
Meanwhile, Charlyne meets actor Michael Cera (as himself) at a party and in a gawky fictional subplot, they take a shine to each other. Has Charlyne the cynic finally found love? With puppet segments to sweeten the deal, the twin narrative components hang together in a contrivedly casual way that is its own goofy charm, especially when it takes chances with a fairytale script.

During the Great War, 628 Victoria Crosses were awarded to servicemen from the UK and its overseas Empire: 19 of these were awarded to men from Ulster families, fighting with British, Canadian and New Zealand forces on land and sea. Incredibly, 4 were earned in one day, 1st July 1916.
To mark the achievements of these gallant Ulstermen, the Ulster-Scots Agency commissioned a series of portraits by renowned local artist Philip Armstrong, which form the basis of a touring exhibition. The portraits were also used to create a poster depicting all 19 Ulster V.C. winners together, which (along with a poster reproducing the famous JP Beadle painting of 1st July 1916) was issued to every school in Ulster in the summer of 2016.
In addition to the Exhibition of Paintings, the Agency has produced an accompanying booklet on the Ulster V.C. Heroes of the Great War.
On Thursday 30th June, the Ulster-Scots Agency officially launched the Ulster's V.C. Heroes of the Great War Exhibition of Paintings at an event hosted by Speaker of the NI Assembly, Robin Newton MLA at Parliament Buildings, Stormont.
To launch the project, the Ulster-Scots Agency also organised a programme of Ulster-Scots entertainment on a Great War theme. Entertainment included performances by the Schomberg Fife and Drum, Kirknarra Highland Dancers, Ulster-Scots Juvenile Pipe Band, an extract from 'Tommy's Story' by Hilary Singleton, delivered by the Mid Armagh Community Network and a poetry recital by Nelson McCausland MLA.
The 'Ulster's V.C. Heroes of the Great War' exhibition of paintings will remain on display at the Long Gallery, Parliament Buildings, Stormont for several weeks. The exhibition will then go on display in the Discover Ulster-Scots Centre, The Corn Exchange Building, 1-, 9 Victoria St, Belfast, Antrim BT1 3GA from Monday August 1. The Discover Ulster-Scots Centre is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and entry is free.

Q: Python regex if all whole words in string I have the following a string, I need to check if

*

*the string contains App2 and iPhone,

*but not App and iPhone

I wrote the following:
campaign_keywords = "App2 iPhone"
my_string = "[Love]App2 iPhone Argentina"
pattern = re.compile("r'\b" + campaign_keywords + "\b")
print pattern.search(my_string)

It prints None. Why?

A: *

*The raw string notation is wrong, the r should not be inside the the quotes. and the second \b should also be a raw string.

*The match function tries to match at the start of the string. You need to use search or findall
Difference between re.search and re.match

Example
 >>> pattern = re.compile(r"\b" + campaign_keywords + r"\b")

 >>> pattern.findall(my_string)
 ['App2 iPhone']

 >>> pattern.match(my_string)

 >>> pattern.search(my_string)
 <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10ca2fbf8>
 >>> match = pattern.search(my_string)
 >>> match.group()
 'App2 iPhone'

Botox and Xeomin are similar prescription medications that are injected into the muscles around the eye area to improve the look of wrinkles. They work by relaxing the muscles that cause severe lines to form around your eyes. It is the safest and most common cosmetic procedure performed around the world.
How long does Botox/Xeomin last?
Botox and Xeomin can last up to 4-6 months. Results can vary for each individual patient.
Visible results generally show within 5 days. Results will continue to improve over 1-2 weeks. Botox is the safest, most effective treatment for wrinkles around the eyes.
Are cosmetic Botox and Xeomin painful?
There is little to no discomfort with the injections. Prior to the injection, ice packs can be applied but are rarely needed. The procedure takes about 5 minutes with no downtime. There may be mild swelling, redness, or bruising after the procedure but that is uncommon.
Do the results differ for everyone?
Results can vary per individual. It is important to have an experienced doctor perform the procedure. Dr. Brian Haas has more years of experience injecting Botox than anyone in the Orlando area. He has been successfully injecting Botox on his patients since for 27 years.

Search Drexel Heights, Arizona Alcohol Detox - Alcohol Treatment and Drug Rehabilitation Programs.
Alcohol detox is one thing which should only be undergone under close attention of detoxification specialists in a alcohol and drug treatment facility or drug and alcohol detoxification facility in the Drexel Heights area. Wanting to quit cold turkey on one's own is honorable, but those who try to try this might not exactly understand the risks involved when dealing with alcohol detox and could in reality be doing more harm than good. Individuals going through alcohol detox in Drexel Heights, Arizona will want to have the very best care at hand, and specialists and medical professionals on standby if anything pops up during the process which could threaten their own health or overall wellness.
People who are alcohol dependent and are dealing with alcohol detox are at risk of numerous hazardous symptoms such as mild to severe seizures, in addition to delirium tremens (DT's). These more severe symptoms can be life-threatening, particularly DT's which is the most severe kind of alcohol withdrawal which results from sudden and severe mental and nervous system changes. DT's and seizures can take place even if someone has what can possibly be described as a moderate quantity of alcohol daily for a number of months. 6-8 beers every day for several months could do it, as an example. You can never be too careful.
Alcohol detox doesn't need to be a risky or deadly undertaking in Drexel Heights, AZ., and people who decide to experience this process inside a detox facility or drug and alcohol rehab program will also reap the benefits of a continuum of treatment in rehab following detox.

Taraji P. Henson opens up about lying to her 9-year-old son about his father's brutal murder
By Karu F. Daniels
On her new podcast, Taraji P. Henson recalled the tough time she experienced with telling her young son that his father was murdered.
The 50-year-old "Empire" star opened in Wednesday's episode of "Peace of Mind with Taraji" about the difficult decision she faced upon learning that her ex-boyfriend, William Johnson, was killed.
"My son's father was suddenly taken, murdered, when he was 9 and I didn't know how to tell him that," Henson revealed to co-host Tracie Jade Jenkins. "I couldn't tell him he was murdered."
Taraji P. Henson is seen on Jan 7, 2020 in Pasadena, Calif. (Rich Fury/Getty Images)
Johnson, Henson's high school sweetheart, was 33 when he was stabbed to death on Jan. 26, 2003. The Washington Post reported police cited a brutal confrontation over slashed tires escalated and led to his death.
The Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe Award-winning actress confessed to being unable to tell her child, Marcel, the truth. Instead, she lied and said his father "died in an accident."
″I didn't have the balls — it wouldn't come out," a tearful Henson replied. "It was in the paper and I didn't know how to tell him. He was stabbed to death, it was the worst way you could die."
Marcel, now 26, eventually learned what happened and confronted his mother.
"Later on in life, he found out and he came back to me and was like, 'Why didn't you tell me my daddy was murdered?' And so then we had to get therapy," Henson shared.
The conversation was then turned over to the show's guest, therapist Sierra Hillsman, who provided tips on how to properly have a difficult conversation with a young child.
Hillsman advised that the best way to talk about sensitive topics with children is to use age-appropriate language and to explain "there are situations where people do evil things to other people."

Where the votes are in the Democratic primary for mayor
April 19, 2017 May 8, 2017 / Ken Kruly
So we are going to have a Democratic primary for Mayor of Buffalo this year. It happens pretty regularly, but unlike the past several events, this year's contest will feature the two major citywide elected officials, the incumbent mayor and the city comptroller.
Mayor Byron Brown will be seeking his fourth term, something only done once before, by Mayor Jimmy Griffin, who served from 1978 through 1993. Comptroller Mark Schroeder is in his second term in that office. Brown previously was the Masten District Councilmember and a State Senator. Schroeder was a County Legislator and State Assemblyman before winning his current position.
A primary election for mayor is decided by some combination of the usual factors, which include name recognition, popularity, issues relating to city services, key endorsements, campaign finances, and voter turnout throughout the city.
Mayor Brown likely has higher voter recognition than Schroeder. If you are to believe the only poll that has been thus far discussed (supplied by the Brown campaign), Brown is more popular than Schroeder. For an incumbent to lose an election for an executive office there needs to be some overriding issue or issues that have stirred public interest or concern. There does not seem to be any such issue or issues. While there are always complaints, the streets get plowed and the garbage gets picked up. You might say that Brown keeps the trains running on time.
That's an old expression, but some might see the subject as a segue into the question of where a new train station should be located in Buffalo. Governor Cuomo appointed Mayor Brown to head the committee reviewing the station question and a recommendation is due soon. Schroeder has come out strongly in favor of putting the facility at the old New York Central Terminal on the East Side. The Mayor will need to defend whatever the committee suggests, which is most likely to be a downtown location. An average of 103 Amtrak passengers per day used the existing Buffalo station last year, so it doesn't seem likely that there will be a whole lot of public concern about the station, one way or another.
City finances and taxes could be another campaign issue, but that does not seem likely. Residential property taxes have been stable for many years. The City has a healthy financial reserve and its credit rating has improved. There is plenty of political credit to go around for the mayor, the comptroller and the Common Council. Good for all of them, but no particular advantage for either Brown or Schroeder.
Mayor Brown will enter the primary with the support of most of the local Democratic political establishment, including the key endorsement of the Erie County Democratic Committee. Comptroller Schroeder has not announced any major political endorsements to date.
Brown, as of the January 2017 Board of Elections filings, had more than twice the amount of campaign cash on hand as Schroeder had ($340,619 to $157,757). An incumbent always has easier access to raising money than a challenger has.
So all of the foregoing leaves the primary election to be decided in large part by things like on-the-street activities and voter turnout. While it is as true in politics as in financial investments that past performance is no guarantee of future results, a look at those past performances does provide some guidance about how things can be influenced and may turn out.
Previous primaries
There have been many Democratic mayoral primaries over the ages (the classic being the Griffin/Foschio/Eve contest in 1977). This analysis focuses on the last four primaries:
2001 – Tony Masiello versus Beverly Gray
2005 – Byron Brown versus Kevin Gaughan and Steven Calvaneso
2009 – Brown versus Mickey Kearns
2013 – Brown versus Bernie Tolbert
None of those elections was particularly close. The incumbent won the three (2001, 2009 and 2013) where an incumbent was running. It could be argued that the strength of the opposition to the incumbent this year is greater than it was it was in those four previous elections.
The past turnout results in some city councilmanic districts are considerably better than in others both in terms of percentages of the votes cast as part of the city district totals and in total raw votes. A candidate will go where they perceive their strength to be. The actual results also demonstrate some opportunities where an increase in turnout might potentially impact this September's results.
Here are some highlights gleaned from previous results:
Votes in the Masten District consistently lead the other districts. Over the past four primaries the district has produced an average of 15.1 percent of the total City vote.
The Ellicott and Delaware Districts have not been very far behind Masten in voter shares. Ellicott averaged 14.2 percent; Delaware 13.9 percent.
The three poorest performing districts in terms of average percentage of total City turnout have been Niagara (7.1 percent); North (7.4 percent); and Fillmore (8.1 percent).
Year-to-year comparisons of the share of the citywide total vote show fairly consistent percentages (variances generally of 1 percent or less) in the Delaware, Fillmore, Lovejoy, Masten, Niagara and University districts.
There have been larger year-to-year swings in share percentages in Ellicott, North and South.
The total number of citywide votes has averaged 31,971 in the four primaries. The 2001 and 2005 totals were very close to that average, while 2009 far exceeded the average (at 41,671 votes) and 2013 was far below the average (at 23,018).
When you compare the June 2016 Democratic enrollment figures by district with the average share of the primary vote by district you find Delaware, Ellicott, Masten, and South producing larger shares of the total city vote than their district enrollment accounts for.
On the other hand Fillmore, Lovejoy, Niagara, North and University produced smaller shares of the citywide total vote than the districts' shares of total citywide Democratic enrollment.
Mayor Brown's home district, which he once represented on the Common Council, Masten, has been very good to him, producing an average of 15.4 percent of the total city vote in each of his three campaigns for mayor.
Comptroller Schroeder's South District is also the home of County Clerk candidate and current Assemblyman Mickey Kearns. The District produced a large margin for Kearns in his 2009 primary campaign again Brown, but even in that year the Masten District gave Brown nearly 1,500 more votes than South produced for Kearns.
For someone planning out a citywide campaign there are lessons to be learned from these statistics. Depending on where a candidate's base of votes is, there may be opportunities to try to draw out a larger percentage of the Democratic enrollment to boost their chances. One might also find that the vote in some districts might represent some sort of a peak vote opportunity, meaning that a candidate needs to look elsewhere for support.
The first political work that I was given in a campaign, eons ago in a Max McCarthy campaign for Congress, was to drill down even further, right down to the individual election districts to look at past voting results compared with party enrollment. Max's campaign manager, the late George Heffernan, called it "the marketing approach to politics." There weren't even calculators then and past results and enrollment numbers were not available to download electronically. Today's voter targeting is much more sophisticated and robust. It still might not lead to the desired results. See Clinton, Hillary, 2016.
So take the past results for what they are worth – an indication of what might happen this September; a guide to where opportunities exist.
If any reader is interested in taking a look at the district-by-district Democratic primary results, just send an email to me at kenk@politicsandstuff.com. I'll be happy to send you an electronic spreadsheet on the subject.
The Democratic primary will determine the next mayor
It looks like Mark Schroeder will not receive the Conservative Party endorsement. The Republican Party leadership likely had something to do with that decision, since the Conservative line would keep Schroeder in the November election if he were to lose the Democratic primary. The Republicans will want to keep city turnout down to help their countywide candidates.
Schroeder could circulate petitions for an independent line on the November ballot, keeping him in the game. Such moves, however, usually fail.
The next mayor will likely be determined in September.

Karl Georg Högström (4 November 1895 – 9 April 1976) was a Swedish pole vaulter. He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics and finished in eighth place.

Högström won the national title in 1918 and 1919, and the English AAA Championship in 1919. His personal best of 3.80 m in 1918 was the world leading performance. Besides pole vaulting, in 1918 Högström won the national title in the high jump at 1.902 m, which was world's second-best jump that year. After retiring from competitions he became a bank executive.

Take a Seat with Paige Appel and Kelly Harris
Photographed by Lily Glass
Paige Appel and Kelly Harris are two incredible women we've been wanting to feature on the site for months. Not only are they the sweetest humans on earth, they are total powerhouses running one of our favorite LA stores Midland Shop (in Culver City, Silver Lake, and online) — and not to mention, they're mamas and championing good causes while doing it all.
There are several cool things about this duo (trust us, just keep reading), but one of the undoubtedly coolest things at of the core of what they do is set in doing purposeful work — and to them, that's achieved in a handful of ways. Paige and Kelly met via Twitter (true story) and the rest has been history. They've worked hard to set their brand apart and it's obvious to any of us who know them, and by reading this, you'll understand why, too. This is one of those interviews that will instantly make you feel ready to conquer the world. So trust us and take a seat with Paige and Kelly.
A conversation with Paige Appel and Kelly Harris….
Tell us about the Midland journey. How did the two of you come together and start this company?
Our journey has been kissed by fate for 10 years. We met in 2009 over coffee via finding each other on Twitter (oh the days) and immediately felt connected. Two creative entrepreneurs living in LA looking for their next endeavor. Kelly hails from the east coast, Paige from Texas and both of us have lived in LA for about 18 years. Moving out west to pursue other ventures, we had early careers in our 20s in the film industry (Paige) and advertising (Kelly). We started an event production company called Bash Please in 2009 and sold it in late 2016 as we were opening our shop, Midland. That leads us to career number three and we are having a blast re-inventing ourselves as we go and grow. The timing has always lined up for us and we have stayed best friends through many iterations of our career.
In your experience thus far, what's been one of the hardest parts about running a retail operation?
The hardest part about retail is two things: figuring out what customers want that we also want to sell, and making enough money to pay ourselves! In today's market of fast fashion and quick buys, we try to set ourselves apart with thoughtful, well-made, ethical and boutique designers. Not everyone gets it, so making sure the products are tried and true and part of a considered story helps them sell. We believe so much in brick and mortars who are working to keep conscious consumerism alive and thriving, and being fairly new to the retail world, we hope we can make a lasting mark and keep customers coming back to discover and support the Midland vision we are creating.
What's been one of the most rewarding parts thus far?
The most rewarding is definitely discovering and supporting so many wonderful designers and makers. It is a connection to a higher quality life, an inspiring feeling to aid in someone's livelihood, and a circle of wonderful people all doing great things. Some are indigenous people who's craft has been around for centuries and some are new makers paving a new path. It feeds our soul and makes this work elevate us to a higher frequency than the event planning did. We feel purposeful in a new way and inspired on a level that feels necessary and lovely.
You've now expanded from Culver City to a second shop in Silver Lake, have a clothing line, host an incredible retreat, and so much more. How did you guys get to this point in your business? What has it taken?
Yes! It has taken active listening to our inner voices and not saying no to challenges and desires. Being open to learning and being vulnerable in asking for help. We have amazing business partners and spiritual teachers that have encouraged us to be dynamic and strive to evolve in our intellect, skill-set, long-term intentions, and entrepreneurial endeavors. It's a lot to take in sometimes, but when we get to the core of what we want from life and how we want to exist in this world, we have to make sure our ethics, our families, our friends, the earth, our souls stay in tact and un-harmed. We operate on a very transparent and accountable level so we can make sure our job lines up with our bigger life goals.
What inspired your incredible campaign, #midlandgalsforchange? We love this campaign so, so much.
Thank you! We felt we needed to use the platform we have to bring about more awareness and change. Every person can contribute in some way to making a difference in society and what tool gets the most traction these days? Social media. We felt we could start with this campaign and we'll see where it goes. We've made a commitment to give more to charities and use more of our time and resources to giving back. And we've learned so much from these women! We hope to continue to have women of all walks of life join us in using their voice and their ideas to invoke hope and action into the world today. It's a snowball effect… when one person starts it up, the movement to be better people can get bigger and bigger. There is really no excuse to not participate in helping in whatever way you can.
You are both mamas on top of running your biz. How do you find work-balance? Is that even a thing?
Yes it is! It feels like it swings one way or the other sometimes for sure. Like when we have a busy week at work we try the next week to clear more time for the kids. One reason we gave up event planning is because we had to be on the road so many weeks of the year missing school plays and loose teeth and milestones we didn't want to miss anymore. We were definitely not balanced. With Midland, we are home more. We don't have to miss as much and we don't have the same pressures. Pros and cons of both types of work but we love the space we have created and can be flexible with our choices more. And our kids feel the shift, which makes for a more harmonious home life.
Clarity is kindness. Someone told us that once and it really makes sense with everything we do. If we have murky decisions to make, we wait until it shows clear. If we have hard conversations to have, we make sure we are direct and vulnerable enough to be clear. If we start a new business, or when we sold our events company, we made sure the flow was clear. If something doesn't sit right with us, it's not kind to ourselves or to others involved. Customers, families, colleagues, employees, friends, business vendors. When we make thoughtful, clear, decisions and boundaries, everyone benefits. Even if it's hard to do sometimes.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to venture off into their own biz?
Fake it till you make it is not authentic. Don't be afraid to ask for help and don't be afraid to fail. Stay hungry, go to panels and hear your mentors talk about how they do it. Be transparent, set goals, hustle and work. It takes juggling a couple of jobs sometimes. It takes asking elementary questions. It takes crunching numbers. It takes really loving and committing to the new biz idea. You will get frustrated, you will have set-backs, you will feel vulnerable. Keep going and make sure you are open to people telling you advice you may not want to hear. Don't think you know anything. Be honest with yourself and others, and that will open doors to discovering how to move forward in your plan.
What are five things you can't live without right now?
Nucifera balm
The meditation app Calm
CBD drink Vybes
Super You vitamins from Moon Juice
Signature Midland Scent Roll-on (in our purse at all times)
What's next for Midland?
Who knows?! More clothing designs, more product development, more retreats, more pop-ups, more campaigns, more activism. We just see where the wind takes us. We probably won't open anymore shops for a bit, we are thinking other cities eventually but for now the two L.A. ones take up our time as well as the online shop and doing more local events. We will be hosting a beach clean-up with our friend Christy Dawn to kick off summer in June. We really just want to keep creating and supporting in a way that feels right to us.


BIG CHANGE IN Florida IMMIGRATION POLICY!
The DREAM Act immigration plan and program is not a dream anymore for the people of Florida. In June of 2012, Obama announced the new immigration program to help young people that qualify. The DREAM Act will help you become a permanent citizen and obtain your Florida green card or visa. It is the most important part of Florida immigration reform for many Florida immigrants in our world today.
Why is the DREAM needed in Florida?
So many young people grow up in Florida who are illegal immigrants but graduate from Florida high schools. These individuals have very limited options and choices after high school in Florida. This DREAM act now will provide legal status for immigration for long term Florida residents who entered into Florida as children illegally. You must remember that these children were never provided the choice to move into the Florida legally because of their parents. This DREAM act provides the opportunity to gain legal immigration status in Florida.
What are the Benefits of the Florida DREAM Act?
What are the requirements to qualify for the DREAM Act in Florida?
You were living in Florida America constantly for at least 5 years before June 15, 2012, the day the Dream Act immigration program was passed.
Must have graduated from and Florida high school or earned a GED or have obtained admission to an institution of higher education in Florida United States.
You must have not been convicted of a felony offense in Florida, a drastic misdemeanor, or multiple non-drastic misdemeanor offenses and do not impose a threat to national security in Florida.
Following a 6-year time period, DREAM Act cases will be studied by officers of Florida immigration. You must than prove you either attended Florida college or served in the armed forces for at least two years. You must also stay in good standing with the law as well.
Our DREAM Act Florida lawyers will guide you through the entire process TODAY as our Florida immigration legal team has vast experience in this process and continues to pay attention to all of the new Florida immigration laws regarding Florida immigrants from Mexico, China, Russia, Korea, Europe, Asia, Canada, Thailand, Vietnam, South America, Cuba, Iran, India, and many other countries.


Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder that affects children and adolescents as well as adults in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviours that make them feel driven to do something (compulsion).
These intrusive thoughts often produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear or worry; by repetitive behaviours aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions.
Often the person carries out the behaviours to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is more common than was once thought. It affects both the young and the old – children, adolescents and adults.
There are several theories about the cause(s) of OCD, but none have been confirmed. Some reports have linked OCD to head injury and infections. Several studies have shown that there are brain abnormalities in patients with OCD. OCD has also been linked to above average intelligence because its sufferers often give high attention to detail, avoid risk, plan carefully, take time in making decisions and have a exaggerated sense of responsibility.
OCD has also been linked to Tourette syndrome due to the fact that about 20% of OCD patients have tics, however, this link is yet to be confirmed.
Obsessions and compulsions that are not due to medical illness or drug use, that cause major distress or interfere with everyday life have been pencilled down as the symptoms of OCD.
Some of these obsessions/compulsions include checking and rechecking actions (such as turning out the lights and locking the door), excessive counting, excessive fear of germs,the compulsion to repeatedly wash the hands to ward off infection.
Other symptoms of OCD include extreme hoarding; preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts; relationship-related obsessions; aversion to particular numbers; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room.
These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and financial distress.
The person usually recognizes that the behaviour is excessive or unreasonable and may become further distressed by this realization.
Your own description of the behaviour can help diagnose the disorder. A physical exam can rule out physical causes, and a psychiatric evaluation can rule out other mental disorders.
Questionnaires, such as the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS), can help diagnose OCD and track the progress of treatment.
If an SSRI does not work, the doctor may prescribe an older type of antidepressant called a tricyclic antidepressant. Clomipramine is a TCA, and is the oldest medication for OCD. It usually works better than SSRI antidepressants in treating the condition, but it can have unpleasant side effects, such as difficulty starting urination, drop in blood pressure when rising from a seated position, dry mouth, sleepiness.
In some cases, an SSRI and clomipramine may be combined. Other medications, such as low-dose atypical antipsychotics (including risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine, or ziprasidone) have been shown to be helpful. Benzodiazepines may offer some relief from anxiety, but they are generally used only with the more reliable treatments.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be the most effective type of psychotherapy for this disorder. The patient is exposed many times to a situation that triggers the obsessive thoughts, and learns gradually to tolerate the anxiety and resist the urge to perform the compulsion. Medication and CBT together are considered to be better than either treatment alone at reducing symptoms.
Psychotherapy can also be used to provide effective ways of reducing stress, reduce anxiety, resolve inner conflicts.
OCD is a long-term (chronic) illness with periods of severe symptoms followed by times of improvement. However, a completely symptom-free period is unusual. Most people improve with treatment.
Long-term complications of OCD have to do with the type of obsessions or compulsions. For example, constant handwashing can cause skin breakdown. However, OCD does not usually progress into another disease.
There is no known prevention for this disorder.

Q: Pymongo Query gets extremely slow I have a MongoDB base with a table with some 12M records and an index on Data.Report.FIELD field. I am trying to fetch all of its values. If I do it in one large cursor, it just dies on the way, so I split it in slices of 100K docs.
    for i in range (10):
        for a in data.find({'Data.Report.FIELD': {"$gt": (i*100000), "$lt": (i+1)*100000+1}},{'Data.Report.FIELD':1}):
            if ('FIELD' in a['Data']['Report'][0].keys()):
                _ids.append([a['_id'], a['Data']['Report'][0]['FIELD']])
                _FIELDs.append(a['Data']['Report'][0]['FIELD'])
                good+=1
            else:
                bad+=1
        print ('Done with ', i, ' hundred thousand. Time: ', time.time()-start, 'seconds.')

And what I get is something like:
Done with  0  hundred thousand. Time:  116.90340232849121 seconds.
Done with  1  hundred thousand. Time:  182.20432806015015 seconds.
Done with  2  hundred thousand. Time:  2561.886509180069 seconds.
Done with  3  hundred thousand. Time:  4840.841073274612 seconds.

What could be the reason for it geting so crazily slow after 200K documents? Is there anything I could change? Could it be a server issue?

Winchester Detached Youth Work Project (aka Street Reach), is a youth charity working in Winchester, Hampshire.
The primary objective of Street Reach is to empower vulnerable and disadvantaged young people aged 11-19 to recognise and achieve their full potential.
Street Reach is a youth charity which has been operating in Winchester since 1983. The charity was created to support young people who experience disadvantage and suffering from a range of issues. Our youth workers go out into communities and build up positive relationships with young people encountered on the streets, at shop fronts and local parks. We meet them on their own territory at times appropriate to them and on their terms. We strive to ensure that these young people have access to information, advice and opportunities and seek to improve the lives and raise aspirations of both individuals and communities.
We encourage young people to attend targeted workshops, activity days and residential trips, providing opportunities to enjoy and achieve and removing barriers to access. We also run a thriving drop-in Friday Football Project and a weekly Youth Club in Micheldever.
We would like to raise money for our Friday Football project which is delivered weekly for young people from low income families.


These errors are primarily associated with Google. It seems to be "security" related? I have some things in my event viewer I do not understand under security. Though nothing looks horrible. For the last 2-4 days google & its services (Youtube, G+ and others) have been acting funky. I did general maleware scans - Several (nothing bad all removed). Is it a virus/hack? Did I do something wrong? Thoughts? On occasion other websites give me issues.
I have received some type of TLS errors?

The Flying G Ranch has been raising quality Polled Herefords since the late 1920s. As one of the oldest Polled Hereford operations still under continuous operation, we feel it is our duty to carry on the traditions started by my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Campbell bought her first cattle after seeing Polled Herefords at a livestock show in Texas as a young girl, living in Anadarko, Oklahoma. The ranch was established in Sand Springs, Oklahoma in 1932 after moving here for Mr. Campbell to find work as the Great Depression was taking hold.
If you knew them, you would know my parents as hard working, honest, and true characters. Each had a distinct personality that set them apart from everyone else. They, like their cattle made no pretenses: ready to work, no frills, no fads, no gimmicks. They bred their cattle to have quality of mind and disposition, and quantity of muscle and frame.
We have from the beginning strived to raise well muscled, sound, superior milking, gentle, polled cattle.
We have quality breeding stock for sale the year round. We offer herd bull prospects, bred and open heifers. We occasionally purchase cows and heifers to compliment our herd.
Please contact Lotsee to schedule a time to see the cattle.
Our herd bull battery is awesome: muscled hind quarters; long, thick bodies; heavy boned frames; gentle dispositions; and their female progeny will milk.
Our cow herd primarily consists of Victor, Butler, and Buckeye bloodlines. We have several Star Lake cows and some from Red Hills. We also have a couple of Online daughters who are starting to produce for us.

Middle East wars and unrest lead to lower life expectancy
Syria is particularly affected. War shaved off six years from men's life expectancy (from 75 in 2010 to 69 in 2013), five from women's (from 80 to 75). Millions of people have to face the consequences of water shortages and poor hygienic conditions. Non-communicable illnesses like diabetes or cardiovascular disease are up as well.
Beirut (AsiaNews/LOJ) – The unrest linked to the Arab Spring and the civil wars that swept across the Middle East in the past six years have had an important impact on the health of the people living in the region.
War and violence have affected life expectancy with a major reduction, especially in Syria where it has dropped by five to six years compared to the 2000s.
Researchers examined data for the 1990-2013 period and recently published their findings in the prestigious scientific journal The Lancet.
"Millions of people are facing dire water shortages and poor sanitation that will lead to disease outbreaks," said Ali Mokdad, the researcher from the University of Washington who led the study.
The findings indicate that between 2010 and 2013 the population of Yemen, Tunisia and Egypt lost at least three months in life expectancy. In contrast, the war in Syria has taken six years off the life of men (69 years on average in 2013, against 75 in 2010) and five years off women (75 in 2013 against 80 in 2010).
For Ali Mokdad, the decline in life expectancy is a sign that the health and social systems are failing. Conflicts have damaged the infrastructures of many countries and millions of people are facing water shortages and poor hygienic conditions, which lead to diseases.
Infant mortality is another indicator. In Syria it had fallen to 6 per cent before 2010. Over the following four years, it rose to 9 per cent, which places Syria behind some sub-Saharan nations.
According to the researcher, previous crises had not affected improvement in health and life expectancy.
However, the complex wars that followed the unrest caused by the Arab Spring, combined with an aging of the population, are leading to worsening health conditions, which are likely to persist for many years to come.
At the same time, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease have increased, accounting for 15 per cent of deaths in 2013 compared to 9.8 per cent in 1990 in 22 countries of the Eastern Mediterranean region (from Afghanistan through Yemen, to Morocco).
High blood pressure is also up by 83% and obesity by 28% over 1990.
