Q: (Attempting to) migrate from WSE 3.0 to WCF for client code I have been all over the net for this. I've just been having a devil of a time doing it, and the vendor whose web service I'm trying to consume refuses to officially support WCF as a method of consumption.
I'm no web services expert, so I'll do my best to document and explain with this initial post, but by all means, request more information if you need it, and hopefully I'll be able to supply whatever is necessary.
The service
At my company, we use a vendor application that exposes a service. The application is written in java, and it looks like the wsdl was created with Apache Axis 1.2.
The code
My legacy code uses WSE 3.0. In particular, it uses the proxy classes that have "WSE" auto-tacked at the end. This allows me to use a much simpler authentication scheme (the only way I could get it to work). I don't need to use certificates. I use a derivative of SecurityPolicyAssertion, and wrap it in a Policy object that gets passed to the SetPolicy method of the client class. Here's all I need to do to create a working instance of the client:
MyWebServiceWse api = new MyWebServiceWse();
api.Url = myUrl;
api.SetPolicy(new Policy(new MyDerivedSecurityAssertion(user, pass)));

My default, out-of-the-box code for WCF (generated with a service reference) does not accept credentials, so I know there's a problem right off the bat. I've read various things online about using different security or binding settings in my app.config, but nothing has ever completely worked. My most common error after copious tinkering is WSDoAllReceiver: Request does not contain required Security header.
Here's the app.config. Perhaps we could start by telling me what ought to change here to facilitate passing the credentials--again, I've seen varying opinions online.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

                    <security mode="None">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
                            realm="" />
                        <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
                    </security>
                </binding>
            </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://xyz:12345/services/MyService"
                binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="MySoapBinding"
                contract="MyNS.MyService" name="MyService" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

I have changed some of the attributes to obscure the specific service we are using (company policy and all that).
And here is the sample C# code so far (testing in a console app):
MyClient client = new MyClient();
client.listMethod();

UPDATE
Read this SO post: wcf security . . ..
I have updated my app.config accordingly, and am now passing username and pwd in code. I am still receiving the same error:

20120518 UPDATE
I have tried implementing the solution in the post that Mike Miller links to in the comments. Now I receive the following error (no message ends up getting sent because something's barfing on the scheme):
The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https'.

And in case anyone wants to ask, yes, I need to send over http, and yes, I'm aware that credentials are sent as unencrypted strings :-)

A: What you need is to send a username token over http transport which is not supported in wcf ootb. in addition your token uses nonce/created which is also not ootb. you have 2 options:

*

*this oss project adds nonce/created to the username token. this oss project adds the ability to send username over http. you would need to combine both projects together.

*ws-security is usually considered complex, but you use it in its simplest form (username). the easiest would be to dismiss any wcf security setting all together and create the whole security header by yourself in a message inspector! As you can see most headers are just static xml nodes, and most values are pretty clear (you know the username). the only tricky two are the nonce and the timestamps which you could look how to do in this oss project (one line each). There is a variant of this option which may be easier - use CUB after all and implement a custom encoder which pushes the timestmpa/nonce. I would go for the latter but I'm biased since I developed CUB...
There's also the ws-addressing headers which you can configure on your custom encoding "messageVersion" property. I can't tell the exact value since you omitted the envelope header with the wsa prefix definition.
If you want help privately (since you seem to have security restrictions) by all means send me an email from my blog.
EDIT: I've implemented it for you. follow these steps:

*

*download cub and make yourself familiar with it (not the internals, just how to use it according to the blog post)

*add reference to System.Runtime.Serialization.dll to the project ClearUsernameBinding

*add a new file to that project: UsernameExEncoder.cs. Paste this content:

*In the file ClearUsernameBinding.cs replace this:
res.Add(new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement() { MessageVersion = this.messageVersion});
with this:
var textEncoder = new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement() { MessageVersion = this.messageVersion };
 res.Add(new UsernameExEncoderBindingElement(textEncoder));

*In the project TestClient in app.config there is a messageVersion property on the binding element. You have not published the root of your envelope so I cannot know for sure, but probably you need to set it to Soap11WSAddressingAugust2004 or Soap11WSAddressing10 (or one of these with Soap12 instead).
Good luck!

The Australian Capital Territory Electricity Authority (ACTE or A.C.T. Electricity Authority) was an authority formed on 1 July 1963 to manage energy supply in the Australian Capital Territory. During the 1950s and 60s Canberra's population was rapidly increasing, causing excessive energy demands and price increases. In response the Minister for the Interior, Sir Gordon Freeth, formed the new Authority. The new authority aimed to allow more consumer input by giving the Australian Capital Territory Advisory Council a seat on the board. Previously the electric supply of Canberra had been managed by the Department of the Interior (Canberra).

On 1 July 1988 the Energy and Water Act 1988 was passed, merging the ACT Electricity Authority and ACT Water into ACT Electricity and Water, later ACTEW.

Is Larry King Cryogenically Frozen?: Iconic TV Host's Wish After Death
by Emily Morgan January 27, 2021
written by Emily Morgan January 27, 2021 6:59 pm

Following Larry King's death on Saturday, details surrounding the icons' last wishes have surfaced.
In the years leading up to his death, the late television host had spoken openly about death in various interviews, saying that he wanted to "be frozen" after he passed away because he didn't believe in the afterlife.
King Spoke Openly About His Final Wish
Last January, King discussed his career, health, and thoughts on dying with the Los Angeles television station KTLA.
"I used to be afraid of death, and now I'm not afraid of death," King told anchor Frank Buckley. "I don't know what changed."
In the interview, King gave more insight into his newfound perspective, sharing, "I still read the obits and I also looked into the idea of being frozen because then, I'd wake up in 100 years and they cured whatever I died of, and I'm alive again."
"Someone said to me, 'But, you won't know anybody?' and I said, 'I'll make new friends,'" King joked at the time. "I'm not afraid of it now because it's the one thing all of us are going to face. And when you face all these illnesses and you can come through and buy some time — I'm 86. What's the average age of the American male? 76? 77? I beat it by 10 years."
During a TV special in 2011, Larry King brought up his desire to be frozen when he talked candidly with celebrities like Seth MacFarlane and Conan O'Brien.
Later in 2014, O'Brien brought up the topic again when King made an appearance on his talk show, "Conan."
"I don't believe in an afterlife. I can't, I just never accepted it," he explained. "So the only hope, the only fragment of hope, is to be frozen and then someday, they cure whatever you died of, and you're back."
Larry King Met With Doctor in 2015 to Discuss Arrangements
According to the New York Times, in August 2015, King made arrangements to have his body frozen for the "Ted Williams treatment" and thawed out at a later date if scientists found a cure for "whatever killed him."
Dr. Max More, revealed he met with Larry King in 2015 to discuss arrangements to have him cryogenically frozen.
"I did visit his house in 2015, I believe it was," said More in an interview "I went over there from Arizona to talk about cryonics and arrangements and discuss it with him. So I did get to meet him at that point."
More neither confirmed nor denied if King is currently frozen.
"I can neither confirm nor deny that," he explained. "When people sign up with us they can choose to be public or they can choose to be private. So if you ask about someone they may not be a member, or they may be a member who's private. So I cannot confirm or deny that."

Jordan's king lands in West Bank on rare trip to meet Abbas: official
AFP Published March 28, 2022
RAMALLAH: Jordan's King Abdullah II landed in Ramallah on Monday to meet Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, in his first trip to the Israeli-occupied West Bank since 2017, Abbas's office said.
Abdullah's visit comes as foreign ministers from four Arab states joined an unprecedented meeting hosted in Israel, a gathering Israel hailed as "historic", following a series of normalisation agreements last year, which angered the Palestinians.
The visit also comes less than a week before Ramadan, the Muslim holy month which last year saw waves of violence across the West Bank and Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.
The Jordanian king met Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid earlier this month to discuss strategies for containing unrest during Ramadan.
Palestinian officials have repeatedly warned that the West Bank, which Israel captured from Jordan in 1967, was on the verge of "exploding".
Blinken, Arab officials in Israel for 'Negev Summit'
Tensions in the occupied territory remain high between Palestinian residents and Jewish settlers, who live in communities widely regarded as illegal under international law.
Palestinians also regularly clash with Israeli security forces in the West Bank, often resulting in Palestinian deaths.

While paper bags are most commonly seen in grocery stores, they're useful for a variety of other packaging needs. Candy stores, gift shops, and jewelry stores can use smaller paper bags with handles to create attractive and convenient packaging. Delis and bakeries also use paper packaging to help keep their items fresh without trapping moisture from hot-from-the-oven breads and baked goods.
Berlin Packaging offers a variety of bags for different applications, and paper grocery bags are one of their most popular options for businesses that sell direct to the public. These bags have accordion-like sides that can expand to accommodate larger items and make folding the bag easier. They're durable enough to hold heavy items like canned or bottled goods. Most brown paper bags also have thumb notches for quick access. White or brown paper shopping bags with handles offer design possibilities that include inserts, tags, labels, and custom stamping. The solid color of the paper lets you get creative with graphics and font colors to keep packaging on trend.
Paper packaging is easy to recycle, and it's reusable and completely biodegradable, which helps reduce the amount of waste in landfills. Brown paper bags take around three weeks to disintegrate completely and leave minimal impact on the environment. The ability to recycle paper packaging also makes it a highly renewable resource, while sustainability is also possible with responsible tree harvesting practices. Environmentally aware consumers are always on the lookout for reusable packaging products, and Berlin Packaging's fabric bags are a smart choice to cater for this market.
Creating your brand's design concept is a personal process that requires research and careful planning. Berlin Packaging provides high-quality design solutions catered to your branding and packaging needs, to take some of the stress off your shoulders. Let the team at Studio One Eleven create packaging graphics that'll help products stand out among competitors.

), class = "data.frame")

A intenção é não ter de digitar pairwsise.t.test várias vezes (para cada grupo). É possível aplicar tapply neste exemplo?

A: Aqui vai uma opção, você tem que definir a posição das variáveis que deseja aplicar o teste (varNames) e então aplicar o sapply:
    # definir variáveis para o teste
    varNames <- names(seguro1)[2:4] # valor da coluna de cada variável desejável

    # aplicar `sapply` para cada variável
    res <- sapply(varNames, function(x) pairwise.t.test(seguro1[, x],seguro1$group,method='bonferroni'), simplify = FALSE)

Como utilizamos o argumento simplify = FALSE, o objeto res é uma lista. Para acessar cada resultado do pairwise.t.test:
  res[[1]]

  #Pairwise comparisons using t tests with pooled SD
  #
  #data:  seguro1[, x] and seguro1$group
  #
  #  2       1
  #1 4.8e-05 -
  #3 0.0091  4.3e-07
  #
  #P value adjustment method: holm

A: Não sei uma solução com tapply mas segue uma solução no estilo tidyverse. No final, você fica com uma tabela com os valores p para todos os testes que fizemos.

library(tidyr)

French Open 2021: Djokovic, Federer and defending champion Nadal in same half
Play starts Sunday, and it won't be an easy run into the deep stages for any of the Big Three – as they all look to improve upon their respective Grand Slam singles title tallies.
High stakes: It doesn't get any easier
Federer in Paris two years ago, where he reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2012
The way this year's draw has shaken out, as announced on the tournament's social channels yesterday, means no more than one of them can reach the final on June 13.
Last year's rescheduled edition, which took place after the US Open in October, saw Nadal claim his 13th Slam on clay with a straight-sets win over Djokovic.
That was the Spaniard's 20th Slam title, putting him level with Roger Federer for the most all-time. Djokovic, who triumphed in Melbourne at the start of the year, has 18.
If Nadal-Djokovic were to match up again, it would come at the semi-final stage. That means the draw's other half could feature a surprise or too on the way to this year's finale.
Federer made a fleeting return earlier this year after two right knee surgeries and it's unlikely the Swiss legend will embark on a deep run over the coming fortnight given his distinct lack of match sharpness.
The possible quarter-finals on the other side of the draw, are particularly intriguing.
Daniil Medvedev's struggles acclimatising to clay are well-documented, while the Australian Open finalist had his stint shortened after a positive COVID-19 test.
Nonetheless, if this year proves his first to break the cycle of frustration in Paris, he'll likely meet Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals. In a repeat of last year's US Open Final, first-time Slam winner Dominic Thiem could duel against an unpredictable Alexander Zverev in the same round.
Thiem, twice a beaten finalist in Paris, has endured somewhat of a frustrating season so far but will hope to peak at the right time here.
What about the women? Will Swiatek retain? Serena's sneaky draw
Swiatek as she served in a match earlier this month, winning another warm-up event in Rome
With all of that in mind, Nadal and Iga Swiatek are still favourites to defend their respective Grand Slam championships here.
Slam record-chasing Serena Williams has a sneakily difficult draw awaiting her as the American could face the likes of Angelique Kerber, Petra Kvitova and either Victoria Azarenka or Aryna Sabalenka by the quarters.
She was leading in the semis against Azarenka before a calf injury derailed her hopes of US Open glory last year, while Sabalenka pushed her hard in Melbourne.
Ash Barty could face Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka vs. Bianca Andreesscu and a rematch of last year's final may await Iga Swiatek against a determined Sofia Kenin after her struggles of late.
First though, Kenin has to navigate past hurdles which include an intriguing R1 clash against Jelena Ostapenko – winner in Paris four years ago.
Swiatek faces Slovenian youngster Kaja Juvan, who knocked the aforementioned Kerber out in the first-round last year.

Q: How to extract certain pattern from a url using regex in Python? I have some bunch of urls like below
https://data.hova.com/strap/nik/sql_output1574414532.89.zip

https://data.hova.com/strap/asr/sql_output1574414532.89.zip

https://data.hova.com/strap/olr/sql_output1574414532.89.zip

Now I want to extract just the zip file name ie sql_output1574414532.89.zip, sql_output1574414532.89.zip, sql_output1574414532.89.zip respectively.
Now I could have used a simple split to get the filenames but if you observe, the directory name before the zip file changes like nik, asr, olr etc.
So I want to use regex so that I only look at anything that starts with sql and ends with zip.
So this is what I did
import re

string = "https://data.hova.com/strap/nik/sql_output1574414532.89.zip"
pattern = r'^sql\.zip$'
match = re.search(pattern, string)
print(match)

But the match comes as None. What am I doing wrong?

A: The pattern r'^sql\.zip$' matches only one string: "sql.zip".
For your purpose you need something like sql.+zip$, or, if you expect that sql string can be encountered in URL before file name, change it to sql[^/]+zip$.

Crews Continue Battle Against Wildfire In Plumas National Forest
Filed Under:plumas county, Plumas National Forest
PLUMAS COUNTY (CBS13) – Crews on Thursday continued to battle a wildfire in the Plumas National Forest.
According to the U.S. Forest Service Plumas, the fire had grown to burn 480 acres with 5% containment as of Thursday night. The forest service said Thursday that the wildfire had crossed over Horton Ridge and was backing into Horton Canyon, but the spread into Horton Canyon was sheltered from prevailing winds.
The blaze, dubbed the Dotta Fire, was burning in the Dotta Canyon area north of Beckwourth. See photos of the Dotta Fire below.
dotta-fire-1(credit: U.S. Forest Service Plumas)
The fire was initially reported just after 2:45 p.m. Wednesday and had burned about 80 acres as of the nighttime.
No evacuation orders have been issued but authorities on Wednesday night were warning those in the Dixie Valley to be on alert. However, as of Thursday night, the forest service said the blaze was beginning to burn away from the Dixie Valley.
Several crews and dozers, along with multiple helicopters were working to build a direct fireline, the forest service said
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.


Crisp and lively, with citrus and stone fruit notes on the nose; finishes with a seductive creaminess.
Sourced from two cool weather vineyards, susceptible to lingering morning fog and constant coastal breezes.
Barrel fermented in neutral French oak and minimal malolactic fermentation.


Upon the order VUTS has designed and manufactured an assembly and inspection workplace for checking and assembling brake and fuel tubes in the automotive industry.
The equipment makes it possible to simultaneously carry out the leak and ESD tests and subsequently also the assembly of clips and the part marking. In case the tube fails during the tests carried out, the machine will automatically degrade it.

So today we made plans to go out to breakfast with Ben and Chelsea, Joel, Zach, Lisa, Rich and Rose. We met in Kent at 9am and enjoyed breakfast and hearing of their stories during the time they've been adjusting to their new surroundings.
After breakfast we headed back over to the dorms - we wanted to check out Ben's dorm which he decorated so well with maps all over it. We also brought the kids some treats and water.
Chelsea then took us on a tour of Kent. We went around to not only see the buildings which her classes will be held, but into the grocery store diner that's located in the basement of her dorm (she doesn't even have to step outside to go to the diner), the site of the Kent State shootings, and some other neat areas of the University. We also jumped in the car and headed over to the stadium.
and I cried the whole way home... oh this is so tough!


A brilliant effort today raising lots of money for Text Santa! There has been a fantastic atmosphere around school today and the running total of money raised is £752.11.
This includes donations from the Sixth Form Christmas Quiz, the Grinch Movie Night and Christmas Jumper Day. Thank you everyone!

Why Are the Cavs Favored In NBA Betting Lines?
Bet on the NBAThe Cleveland Cavaliers lost in the NBA finals to the Golden State Warriors and have questions surrounding the team's coaching staff. Much of this comes from concerns over whether or not star player LeBron James and coach Dave Blatt are actually getting along.
Even with these concerns in mind, the Cavaliers are still the odds-on favorites to win the 2015-16 NBA title. The Cavs have 11-4 NBA betting odds to win while the Warriors are only at 7-2 as the second-best team to win this year. There are plenty of interesting reasons as to why the Cavs are on top of the lines this year.
Would You Bet Against LeBron?
Naturally, there is the talk about LeBron James and how he's the most dominant player in the NBA. James had 25.3 points per game and six rebounds per game last year. He also led the team in assists and steals. James has been heavily relied upon through the season as the team's big stud. In today's star-heavy NBA, he is clearly the biggest one of all, thus making it easier for him to be considered as a favorite to win major championships.
A Good Sense Of Support
LeBron has plenty of good players to go alongside him in Cleveland as well. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are both expected to be big names for the Cavs next year. Timofey Mozgov may both become more important as the team's big center in the future.
The Rise Of a Star
Matthew Dellavedova may also be a big star in the future. The Australian guard had a bigger presence in the postseason and has even been trusted as a strong starter for the Cavs. The potential for him to be a bigger player for the team in the future will certainly be a point to explore although the exact points on how he will play for the team and his future role are uncertain.
These are all great points as to why the Cavaliers are favorites for 2015-16. In fact, considering the talent on this team, they could still be favorites even if Dave Blatt wasn't there.

Twice-Demoted DOJ Official Nearly Doubled His Bonus During Russia Probe

Bruce Ohr, the former top Justice Department official who was twice demoted for misconduct during the Russian probe, nearly doubled his performance bonus during that time.
Documents obtained by Judicial Watch reveal Mr. Ohr received a total of $42,520 in performance bonuses while peddling unverified opposition-research that was ultimately used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to spy on the Trump Campaign.
Mr. Ohr's bonus nearly doubled from the $14,520 he received in November 2015 to $28,000 in November 2016.
"These documents will raise questions as to whether the conflicted Bruce Ohr, who the FBI used to launder information from Christopher Steele was rewarded for his role in the illicit targeting of President Trump," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
On December 6, 2017, Mr. Ohr was stripped as Associate Deputy Attorney General — the fourth highest position at DOJ — after it was revealed he met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson shortly after the presidential election.
The meeting was facilitated by former MI6 British Intelligence Officer Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier. The shadowy smear firm founded was hired by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Clinton Campaign to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump.
Fusion GPS in turn hired Mr. Steele, who was notably the former head of the Russian desk. He almost exclusively used sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr. Ohr, whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, was later stripped of his title as director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) in 2018. Nellie Ohr used her husband as a conduit to funnel the dossier to the FBI.
Attorney General William Barr recently assigned U.S. Attorney John H. Durham in Connecticut to investigate the origins of and potential wrongdoings in the Russia probe. The appointment came before the expected release of the review conducted by Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
Mr. Durhan and Inspector General Horowitz are investigating the abuses to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It allows intelligence agencies to collect information on foreign targets abroad.
Heavily-redacted documents for the FISA warrant application to spy on peripheral campaign advisor Carter Page confirm the dossier peddled to the FBI through Mr. Ohr was the primary justification.
Numerous reports and witness testimony also indicate the FBI attempted to plant confidential informants within the campaign's circle during the investigation.

Hawkins County Sheriff's Office
Police say Hawkins man refused to take girlfriend to hospital after throwing her from moving Jeep
Jeff Bobo • Aug 4, 2018 at 8:30 AM
CHURCH HILL — A Hawkins County man who allegedly threw his girlfriend from a moving Jeep Tuesday morning reportedly told police he didn't take her to a hospital because he didn't want to incur driving charges in Sullivan County.
Harry Everett Richmond, 38, 346 E. Main St., Church Hill, was charged with aggravated domestic assault, a Class C felony, as well as driving on a revoked license, ninth offense.
Shortly before noon Tuesday, Deputy Michael Allen responded to a possible rolling domestic dispute that had occurred between Early Branch Road and a residence on California Avenue in Church Hill.
Upon arrival at the California Avenue residence, Allen spoke to a 47-year-old woman whom he described as being "covered in blood from head to toe."
She stated that she was driving a 1999 Jeep Wrangler when her boyfriend, Richmond, slapped and cursed her because she woke him up and told him to put on his seat belt.
Later when she stopped to retrieve a Bluetooth device that had fallen out of the vehicle, Richmond allegedly got behind the wheel.
Richmond's driver's license is revoked due to previous DUI convictions, including one in 2008 when he was arrested on charges of DUI and animal cruelty after police stopped him from dragging and injuring a mule that was tied to the bumper of his pickup.
The girlfriend reportedly told Allen that when she got back into the Jeep, she tried to call 911, but when Richmond saw her on the phone her pushed her out of the moving vehicle.
Allen stated that the girlfriend's injuries were consistent with a person being thrown out of a moving vehicle.
Richmond allegedly admitted to driving her from Early Branch Road where the incident occurred to her mother's home on California Avenue, but stated he didn't take her to a hospital in Kingsport "because he did not want driving charges in Sullivan County."
He was arraigned Wednesday morning in Sessions Court and released from the Hawkins County Jail on $20,000 bond. An Aug. 15 preliminary hearing was scheduled.

Q: Strip list items with multiple arguments error I'm trying to remove a lot of stuff from a text file to rewrite it.
The text file has several hundred items each consisting of 6 lines of.
I got my code working to a point where puts all lines in an array, identifies the only 2 important in every item and deletes the whitespaces, but any further stripping gives me the following error:

'list' object has no attribute 'strip'

Here my code:
x = 0
y = 0
names = []
colors = []
array = []

with open("AA_Ivory.txt", "r") as ins:

    for line in ins:
        array.append(line)

def Function (currentElement, lineInSkinElement):
    name = ""
    color = ""
    string = array[currentElement]
    if lineInSkinElement == 1:
        string = [string.strip()]
#       string = [string.strip()]
#       name = [str.strip("\n")]
#       name = [str.strip(";")]
#       name = [str.strip(" ")]
#       name = [str.strip("=")]
        names.append(name)
        return name
#   if lineInSkinElement == 2:
#       color = [str.strip("\t")]
#       color = [str.strip("\n")]
#       color = [str.strip(";")]
#       color = [str.strip(" ")]
#       color = [str.strip("=")]
#       colors.append(color)
#       return color
    print "I got called %s times" % currentElement
    print lineInSkinElement
    print currentElement

for val in array:
    Function(x, y)
    x = x +1
    y = x % 6

#print names
#print colors

In the if statement for the names, deleting the first # will give me the error.
I tried converting the list item to string, but then I get extra [] around the string.
The if statement for color can be ignored, I know it's faulty and trying to fix this is what got me to my current issue.

A:
but then I get extra [] around the string

You can loop through this to get around the listed string. For example:
for lst, item in string:
    item = item.strip("\n")
    item = item.strip(";")
    item = item.strip(" ")
    item = item.strip("=")
    name.append(item)
    return name

This will get you to the string within the list and you can append the stripped string.
If this isn't what you were looking for, post some of the data you're working with to clarify.

A: Alright, I found the solution. It was a rather dumb mistake of mine. The eerror occured due to the [] arroung the strip function making the outcome a list or list item. Removing them fixed it. Feeling relieved now, a bit stupid,  but relieved.

A: You can also do that in one line using the following code.
item = item.strip("\n").strip("=").strip(";").strip()

The last strip will strip the white spaces.

Das Lincoln's Inn Field Theatre, auch Lincoln's Inn Field Playhouse (von englisch play (Theaterstück)), war ein englisches Theater, welches aus dem Lisle's Tennis Court entstanden ist. Es stand an der Portugal Street, nahe dem heute größten öffentlichen Platz in London, den Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Der Lisle's Tennis Court wurde als Ballhaus (vergleichbar heutigen Tennishallen) gebaut und später in zwei Zeitabschnitten als Theater genutzt: 1661–1674 und 1695–1705. Während der ersten Periode wurde das Theater Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse oder auch The Duke's Playhouse, The New Theatre, aber auch The Opera genannt. Das Haus wurde danach abgerissen und durch ein zweckorientiertes Theatergebäude für einen dritten Zeitraum ersetzt: 1714–1728. Das Tennishallentheater war das erste öffentliche Theater in London, welches bewegliche Kulissen hatte. Eine Technik, die bald Standard in den Theatern der Restaurationszeit wurde.

Hintergrund
König Charles II. ließ gleich nach seiner Inthronisierung 1660 wieder öffentliche Theateraufführungen zu. Da er zuvor während seines Frankreichexils die französische Kultur und auch das französische Theater erlebt hatte, wünschte er sich mit diesen Impressionen eine neue Theaterlandschaft in England zu gestalten.
Hierzu erteilte er am 21. August 1660 dem Dramatiker Thomas Killigrew und Sir William Davenant die vorläufige Erlaubnis, jeweils eine Theatergesellschaft ("Company") zu gründen. Killigrews King's Company wurde dabei vom König selbst gestützt und gefördert; Davenants Duke's Company erhielt das Patronat von dessen Bruder, dem Duke of York, dem späteren König Jakob II. Diese vorläufigen Privilegien wurden später durch ein Letters Patent ersetzt, verbunden mit einer Zementierung eines erblichen Theatermonopols für die Patentinhaber ("Theatre Royal").

Es gibt keinerlei Abbildungen des Inneren des Lincoln's Inn Theatres, aber bestimmte Aspekte der Ausgestaltung erklären sich durch die übliche Ausstattung der nachfolgenden Schauspielhäuser der Restaurationszeit. Ein gutes Beispiel gibt das Innere des Theatre Royal in Richmond, England, welches Elemente des Restaurationstheaters enthält und bis heute existiert. Lincoln's Inn Fields Theater war sehr klein und wurde ursprünglich als Tennishalle genutzt.
Die Ehefrau von Thomas Lisle, Anne Tyler und ein Mann namens James Hooker entwickelten den Indoor-Tennisplatz am Lincoln's Inn Platz im Winter 1656. Tennishallen, die im Tudorstil konstruiert wurden, waren lange Gebäude mit hohen Innendecken und Zuschauerrängen. Ihre Größen waren ungefähr 75 Fuß (23 m) lang und 30 ft (9,11 m) breit und entsprachen damit auch der Größe damaliger Theater. Tennishallen wurden oftmals für Theateraufführungen genutzt, da sie durch die schmale rechteckige Bauweise und erhöhten Sitzreihen (Galerien) einen ähnlichen Aufbau wie Theater aufwiesen. Der Lisle's Tennis Court war ebenfalls ca. 23 m kang und 9 m breit und konnte nur 650 Personen fassen. Tatsächlich aber, so resümiert Milhous, war die recht kleine Kapazität des Hauses Ursache dafür, dass die dort residierende Duke's Company sich alsbald nach einer neuen Spielstätte umschaute. (Milhous 71). Die Bühne war geneigt und hatte einen sanften Übergang zur Senkrechten im hinteren Bühnenbereich, was die perspektivische Ansicht verstärkte. Der Zuschauerraum war unterteilt in den Pit, Logen und Galerien. Der Pit hatte Bänke ohne Rückenlehne und stieg leicht nach hinten an. Wie es für die billigen Plätze des Pits üblich war, saß hier das lauteste und ungehobelste Publikum, meist Männer. Die Logen beherbergten Aristokraten und andere Menschen höherer Schichten, welche gerne mit ihren Ehepartnern erschienen und auch gesehen werden wollten. Die Galerie wurde von der niederen Klasse bevölkert, hauptsächlich die, die Oberklasse begleitende, Dienerschaft.

Die englische Bühne, in Abweichung zu französischen oder italienischen Theatern, hatte eine sehr tiefe Vorbühne um den Akteuren ausreichenden Platz für die Darbietungen zu ermöglichen (siehe Apron Stage). Das Orchester des Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse befand sich unter der Bühne. Die Vorbühne ragte über einen halben Meter heraus, um den Orchestergraben vollständig abzudecken und die größtmögliche Nähe zum Publikum zu gewährleisten. Eine weitere Besonderheit englischer Theater waren die typischen Proszeniumtüren auf beiden Seiten der Bühne, welche darüber noch einen Balkon hatten, der ebenfalls bespielt werden konnte. Kandelaber sorgten für Licht im Raum und manuell bewegliche Kulissen dynamisierten die Darstellung.

Die Duke's Company

Sir William Davenant erhielt bereits 1639 das Theaterpatent von König Karl I., konnte es aber durch das vom "Langen Parlament" erteilte Theaterverbot nicht nutzen. Als das Theaterwesen wiederhergestellt worden war, wollten Davenant und ein Mann namens Thomas Killigrew wieder Theater in England machen. Killigrew bekam die Zusicherung, dass er "eine Kompanie [Ensemble] und ein Theater aufbauen dürfe, versehen [mit dem Recht], dass seine Company und die von Davenant die einzigen beiden sein sollen, welchen es erlaubt ist, in London zu spielen" (Hotson 199). Davenant entwarf daraufhin einen gemeinsamen Vertrag, und nach langen Debatten darüber, ob ihre künftiges Auftreten im Theaterwesen eventuell die Befugnisse des Master of the Revels (einer Art Zensurbehörde und festordnende Einrichtung) beschnitt oder nicht, wandten sie sich an Karl II., der seine Zugeständnisse erneut bestätigte.

Es zeichnete sich recht bald ein Wettbewerb zwischen den beiden Gesellschaften ab. Beide Kompanien bespielten Häuser, welche den englischen Bürgerkrieg und das Interregnum überdauert hatten (darunter das Cockpit Theatre und das Salisbury Court Theatre), unternahmen aber große Anstrengungen, eigene Häuser zu erwerben, welche den aktuellen Bedürfnissen des Publikums weit mehr entgegenkamen. Sie griffen hierzu einen Hinweis des Königs auf, welcher diese Idee aus seinem französischen Exil mitgebracht hatte, nämlich wirtschaftlich kränkelnde Ballhäuser in Theater umzuwandeln.

Im März 1660 unterzeichnete Davenant einen Pachtvertrag über den Lisle's Tennis Court, um ihn nach Renovierung und Umbau als Theater nutzen zu können. Zum Zwecke einer Erweiterung kaufte er noch angrenzendes Land dazu. Killigrews Theater an der Vere Street (im Gibbon's Tennis Court) eröffnete jedoch im November 1660 zuerst. Davenant verwandte mehr Mühe auf das Design, so dass Lincoln's Inn Fields erst am 28. Juni 1661 eröffnete. Allerdings war es dann das erste Theater Großbritanniens, welches bewegliche bzw. austauschbare Kulissen hatte sowie einen Proszeniumbogen. Große Kulissenbilder konnten in Bodenrillen sanft und mechanisch zwischen – oder auch während – den einzelnen Akten ausgetauscht werden.

Zur Eröffnung wurde eine umgearbeitete Neuproduktion von Davenants Oper The Siege of Rhodes angesetzt, welche auch als die erste englische Oper gilt. Der spätere Schauspielstar Thomas Betterton trug den Prolog vor. Die Aufführung erregte derart viel Aufmerksamkeit, dass der König selbst zusammen mit seiner Tante Elisabeth Stuart erstmals ein öffentliches Theater besuchte. Dieses Stück am Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse "leerte Killigrews Theatre" regelrecht, schrieb Milhous. Milhous legte auch dar, dass beide Kompanien "vorsätzliche, frontale Kollisionen provozierten, indem sie die selben Stücke ansetzten" (19). Auch der Tagebuchschreiber und hingebungsvolle Theaterbesucher Samuel Pepys notierte: "Die konkurrierende King's Company spielte plötzlich vor leeren Häusern"
I went to the theatre [in Vere Street] and there I saw Claracilla (the first time I ever saw it), well acted. But strange to see this house, that use to be so thronged, now empty since the opera begun—and so will continue for a while I believe.

The Siege of Rhodes "lief 12 Tage ohne Unterbrechung mit großem Applaus" schrieb der Souffleur John Downes. Das war ein beachtliches Ergebnis für das zu dieser Zeit überhaupt für solche Produktionen rekrutierbare Publikum. Im Verlauf des Jahres folgten weitere vielbeklatschte Produktionen der Duke's Company in Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse. Darunter Hamlet und Twelfth Night. Der Chronist Pepys ließ sich begeistert darüber aus.

Die King's Company sah sich gezwungen, ihr eigenes, technisch unzureichendes und schlechtbesuchtes Tennisplatztheater aufzugeben und den Bau eines neuen Theaters in der Bridges Street in Auftrag zu geben, wo 1663 das neue Theater Royal eröffnet wurde – ein Vorläufer des heutigen Theatre Royal Drury Lane an gleicher Stelle.

Der Prinz Cosimo III. de' Medici besuchte das Theater im Jahr 1669. Sein Schreiber notierte:[Der Pit] ist umgeben mit separaten Logen, in denen sich verschiedene Abstufungen von Sitzen befinden zur größeren Bequemlichkeit der Damen und Herren, welche, passend zum liberalen Brauch des Landes, die selbe Loge teilen. Unten [im Pit] verbleibt ein großer Raum für die anderen Teile des Publikums. Die Kulissen sind auswechselbar, mit verschiedenen Transformationen und netten Perspektiven. Bevor das Stück beginnt und um das Warten weniger enervierend und unbequem zu machen, sind sehr anmutige Instrumentalstücke zu hören, mit dem Ergebnis, dass viele früh kommen, nur um diesen Teil der Unterhaltung zu genießen.Langhans S. 16.  Für eine kurze Zeitlang wurde angenommen, dass Cosimo III. einer Vorstellung im Theatre Royal Drury Lane in der Bridges Street beiwohnte, nicht dem Theater in Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Die Grand Jury of Middlesex meldete sich am 7. Juli 1703 kritisch zu Wort, da sie bei den Aufführungen "profane, irrelevante, anzügliche, unanständige und unmoralische Ausdrücke" bemängelte. Im Umfeld des Theaters im seinerzeit berüchtigten Westend Londons gab es auch ungenehmigte Menschenaufläufe, Aufstände, sogar Morde und andere Vergehen, aber trotz dieser Beschwerlichkeiten blieb das Theater recht populär und beliebt. So wurden dort 1700 auch Purcells "Dido and Aeneas" sowie 1740 und 1741 die beiden letzten Opern Händels uraufgeführt ("Imeneo" und "Deidamia").

Davenant starb 1668, und die Duke's Company, nun unter Leitung Thomas Bettertons, spielte in Lincoln's Inns Fields noch bis 1671. Dann zogen sie um in das neu errichtete Dorset Garden Theatre, welches gut angenommen wurde und erfolgreich war. 1672 brannte das Theater in der Bridges Street nieder, und die King's Company zog vorübergehend in das leerstehende Lincoln's Inn Field Theater, bis ihr neues Theatre an der Drury Lane 1674 erstmals bespielt werden konnte.

Übernahme durch Betterton

Das nicht mehr als Theater benötigte Gebäude am Lincoln's Field wurde wieder in eine Tennishalle zurückgebaut und diente noch 20 Jahre lang diesem Zweck, bis es schloss. 1682 schlossen sich die Kings Company und die Dukes Company zur United Company zusammen und residierten gemeinsam in ihren Häusern des Theatre Royal Drury Lane und Dorset Garden Theatre. Diese Fusion verlief aber nicht ohne Konflikte, wozu auch der Theatermanager Christopher Rich in seiner recht dominanten Art beitrug. So zum Beispiel hatte jede der Kompanien bislang ihren eigenen Hamlet-Darsteller; die Frage, wer nun diese Prinzenrolle künftig einnehmen solle, führte zum Streit und nach mehrjährigen Querelen, auch über andere Streitpunkte, bat Betterton den König um Erlaubnis, eine neue Theatergesellschaft gründen zu dürfen. Betterton verließ 1695 zusammen mit einigen anderen Schauspielern (u. a. Anne Bracegirdle und Elizabeth Barry) die United Company in Richtung Lincoln's Inn Fields, wo sie das aufgegebene Ballhaus wieder in ein Theater umbauten. Das neue Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre öffnete im April 1695 mit William Congreves Komödie "Love for Love". Später kam es auch zu den Uraufführungen von Congreves Stücken "The Mourning Bride" (1697) und "The Way of the World" (1700).
Betterton und seine Company zogen 1705 um in das neuerrichtete Queen's Theatre. Fünf Jahre darauf starb Betterton.

Ende
1714, nach langem Leerstand, wurde das Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre abgerissen. Der Grund war die Errichtung eines neuen "echten" Theaters unter gleichem Namen. Treibende Kraft war Christopher Rich, der nach 16 Jahren und vielen Querelen aus der Drury Lane gedrängt worden war. Rich starb jedoch kurz vor der Eröffnung des neuen Theaters 1714. Sein Sohn John, welcher 75 % der Anteile des Theaters erbte, eröffnete am 18. Dezember 1714 das Haus und führte die Geschäfte bis 1728 weiter. Am 29. Januar 1728 erfolgte die äußerst erfolgreiche Uraufführung von John Gays "The Beggar's Opera" (es hieß, sie machte "Rich gay and Gay rich"). Die Einnahmen ermöglichten es Rich in Covent Garden das Theatre Royal zu errichten, einem Vorgänger des heutigen Royal Opera House an dieser Stelle. Im Dezember 1732 erfolgte der Umzug.

Das Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse wurde dann in der folgenden Saison 1733/34 von der Opera of the Nobility bespielt, welche unter der Leitung Nicola Porporas ihr Arianna in Nasso dort aufführte. Trotz des Einsatzes der berühmten Kastratensänger Senesino und Farinelli war dieser Spielsaison kein Erfolg beschieden. Hernach wechselte die Adelsoper, wie sie auch genannt wurde, wie zuvor Betterton in das Kings's Theatre am Haymarket. Das Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse wurde in der Spielzeit 1736/37 und dann noch einmal in der Spielzeit im Winter 1742/43 von einer Henry Giffard's Drama Company bespielt. Auch nutzte die United Company es noch gelegentlich zu einzelnen Aufführungen.

Danach wurde das Haus als Baracke, Auktionshalle und Lagerhalle für Porzellanwaren genutzt und 1848 abgerissen, um Platz zu schaffen für einen Erweiterungsbau (Hunterian Museum) des Royal College of Surgeons.

Ryjówka kaukaska (Sorex satunini) – gatunek ssaka z rodziny ryjówkowatych.

Genetyka
Diploidalna liczba chromosomów wynosi 2n = 24 lub 25. Liczba fundamentalna wynosi 46, więcej niż u blisko spokrewnionych ryjówek. Wśród autosomów obserwuje się 10 par metacentrycznych oraz jedną akrocentryczną. Występują 3 chromosomy płciowe, podobnie jak u ryjówki aksamitnej, iberyjskiej czy alpejskiej. Dużemu, metacentrycznemu chromosomowi X towarzyszą dwa akrocentryczne chromosomy Y, przy czym Y1 jest mały, a Y2 osiąga średnie rozmiary, podobnie jak u ryjówki zwieńczonej czy alpejskiej.

Budowa
Średnich do dużych rozmiarów ryjówka. Długość głowy i tułowia wynosi od 5,7 do 8,1 cm, w przypadku osobników niedojrzałych od 5,7 do 7,2 cm. Ogon mierzy od 3,8 do 4,4 cm. Długość tylnej stopy zawiera się w przedziale między 1,1 a 1,3 cm. Masa ciała zawiera się w przedziale od 5,5 do 11,5 g, dla zwierząt niedojrzałych od 5,5 do 7,5 g.

Ubarwienie ryjówki kaukaskiej opisywane jest jako dwukolorowe, rzadziej trójkolorowe. Grzbiet, ciemnobrązowy u dorosłych osobników, u młodocianych przybiera jaśniejszy odcień szarawego brązu. Boki ciała są czerwonawe. Brzuch jest jaśniejszy, jasnoszary. Dwukolorowy ogon zwierzęcia przekracza nieco połowę długości głowy i tułowia, podobnie jak u ryjówki zwieńczonej.

Systematyka
Gatunek opisał Ognev w 1921 (Polskie nazewnictwo ssaków świata podaje 1922). Jako miejsce typowe podał on Goele w Kars w Turcji. Opisał ryjówkę kaukaską jako podgatunek ryjówki aksamitnej, który to gatunek o szerokim zasięgu występowania tworzy rozmaite rasy o odmiennej genetyce. Później jednak ryjówka kaukaska została uznana za odrębny gatunek, podobnie jak to było w przypadku ryjówki iberyjskiej.

Ryjówka kaukaska zalicza się do ryjówkowatych (Soricidae) – rodziny dzielonej na trzy podrodziny: ryjówki (Soricinae), zębiełki (Crocidurinae) oraz myszoryjki (Myosoricinae). Podrodzina Soricinae dzieli się dalej na sześć plemion, wśród których wymienia się krecikówki (Anourosoricini), blarynki (Blarinellini), blariny (Blarinini), wodoryjki (Nectogalini), sorki (Notiosoricini) i ryjówki (Soricini). To ostatnie plemię obejmuje pojedynczy rodzaj Sorex, czyli ryjówkę, zasobny w 86 gatunków. Gatunki te dzieli się na dwie grupy tworzące odrębne podrodzaje Sorex (Sorex) i Sorex (otisorex), pozostawiając niektóre gatunki niezaliczone do żadnego. W obrębie licznego w gatunki podrodzaju Sorex (Sorex) wyróżnia się grupy bliżej spokrewnionych ze sobą gatunków. Przeprowadzone badania genetyczne uwzględniające nDNA i mtDNA wskazują na przynależność ryjówki zwieńczonej do grupy gatunkowej ryjówki aksamitnej, araneus group. Grupa ta obejmuje także ryjówkę aksamitną, alpejską, iberyjską, syberyjską i zwieńczoną.

Wyróżnia się następujące podgatunki:
 Sorex satunini satunini Ognev, 1921
 Sorex satunini stavropolica Sololov & Tembotov, 1869.

Ponadto w górach Środkowego Kaukazu istnieć może kolejny, nienazwany jeszcze podgatunek.

Tryb życia i cykl życiowy
Uważa się, że aktywność ryjówki kaukaskiej musi mieć swój szczyt w nocy, gdyż wtedy najwięcej zwierząt łapano w pułapki.

Ryjówki rozmnażają się szybko. Badacze raportowali ciężarne ryjówki kaukaskie w kwietniu. Pojedyncza samica nosi w macicy od czterech do ośmiu zarodków, średnio sześć. Pierwszy poród następuje w maju, po czym samica zachodzi w kolejną ciążę, by znów rodzić w czerwcu. Obserwowano samice, które rodziły jeszcze trzeci raz w tym samym roku. Natomiast osobniki młodociane zazwyczaj nie przedłużają gatunku w pierwszym roku swego życia.

Rozmieszczenie geograficzne
Podgatunek nominatywny żyje w Kaukazie Południowym, zamieszkując Azerbejdżan, Gruzję i Armenię, oraz na północy Turcji, skąd opisano gatunek. Podgatunek C. s. stavropolica żyje w Kaukazie Północnym, na terenach opanowanych przez Federację Rosyjską.

Ekologia
Ryjówka kaukaska zasiedla różne siedliska, przede wszystkim podalpejskie łąki porosłe bujną trawą, położone w zachodnim Kaukazie na wysokości od poziomu morza do 2600 m, zwłaszcza kiedy nie występuje na nich ryjówka skalna. W takim też siedlisku osiąga największe zagęszczenia. Najliczniej w ogóle obserwuje się ją w dolinach rzek Armenii. Pospolicie występuje także na porośniętych jałowcem kamienistych polach Turcji. Mniej licznie występuje na podobnych, ale bardziej suchych łąkach Małego Kaukazu czy też w Dagestanie.

Ryjówka kaukaska jest owadożercą. Konsumuje owady, tak imagines, jak i larwy, dżdżownicowate i mięczaki, ale także kręgowce w postaci płazów bezogonowych, jak to obserwowano w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Autorzy porównują zwyczaje pokarmowe ryjówki kaukaskiej do tych opisywanych u ryjówki aksamitnej.

Zagrożenia i ochrona
IUCN przyznała jej status gatunku najmniejszej troski. Gatunek występuje pospolicie w kaukaskim obszarze swego występowania, a na niektórych terenach nawet dominuje.

There's been a heck of a lot of talk recently about how to create interactive content for digital marketing campaigns—and how to actually use that content. Interactive content might include some of the following: AssessmentsCalculatorsContestsEbooksGamesQuizzesWhite papers Keep in mind that we're not talking about traditional (static) white papers or downloadable ebooks in the form of PDFs. Instead, those types of content might be clickable and even customizable in some ways. These sorts of user actions are at the core of interactive content, which is one reason marketers are starting to take notice. Content Marketing Institute mentions that 75% of content marketers planned to spend more money and manpower on interactive content. And, with huge content publishers like Netflix experimenting more with interactive content, we're starting to see all the hype about this content become a reality. (You might remember our "Choose Your Own Adventure" Murder Mystery from last Halloween.) Here are some ideas for using more interactive content in your content marketing strategy. Up Your Game People love playing games, especially when the information you're trying to convey is important to your organization's everyday operations. Think about what would happen if a company wanted to remind 30,000 employees of their brand promise. How could that company do this effectively? Film a video and hope people would watch it? Create a slide deck? Implement an automated email journey detailing vital parts of the brand promise? All of these ideas could work, but what about rallying internal teams around a common goal with an interactive game? This is exactly what we did for Indiana University Health. To reinforce their promise of assurance and to show how every employee's function in the patient journey is vital, we helped them design an interactive, online game. The game guided team members through a series of options, and they could choose exactly where they wanted to go and how they wanted to get to the end. Every moment in the game was a key part in ensuring the patient journey was smooth.While the above example is a more extensive game that takes a lot of time to produce, you might consider how you can incorporate less time-consuming games on your social channels. I Spy With My Little Eye One simple feature on Twitter or Instagram that you can use to your advantage is the pinch/zoom feature. Recently, brands have been hiding words and phrases in images that offer directions to users, like this example from Denny's on Twitter. Our suggestion is to consider using this idea and the zoom functionality to create your own I Spy game. First, hide something within an image—in the photograph itself or by using a photo editing platform like Photoshop. Next, simply caption the photo with a clear directive or question, such as: "Can you find the hidden star in the photo?" This type of I Spy approach using the pinch/zoom feature works great for teasing upcoming product releases or events. It also breaks the mold for how brands normally use Instagram and serves as a fun way to give users a rest from scrolling through tons of static content. Think Inside the Inbox Sometimes, we get caught up in thinking that open rates and click-through rates are the gold mine of email marketing. While there are stark differences in available functionality in email clients (across mobile and desktop versions of Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and more), there's still room for adding interactive components to your emails. One reason to add interactive components to your emails is to keep your audience engaged with your email content right when they open it. While you can have the ultimate goal of guiding subscribers to click a button or link, what if you instead encouraged them to interact with your content inside of the inbox? As one recent example, we created an email with an interactive "Simon Says"-esque game that asked users to crack the code. (Full disclosure: we borrowed this idea from our friends at Table TR TD.) By clicking on one color at a time, users could figure out through trial and error what the correct color combination was. Once they got it right, the code uncovered a hidden link that actually led to this blog. (If you're one of those email subscribers, nice work!) If you're not a subscriber, sign up now! Game Over While it may seem time-consuming or expensive, interactive content doesn't have to break the bank. As long as you consider what types of functionality are possible within certain platforms (such as email or social media), you can set guardrails around your ideas before you shoot for the moon. Start with possible functionality first, and build ideas within those bounds. We don't encourage interactive content for the sake of doing something interactive. Your content marketing efforts should still be focused on achieving specific, measurable objectives which can then be bolstered with interactive content. In other words, don't do it to be cool. Do it because it will convert more effectively. You—and your audience—won't be disappointed.

DR Congo league suspended after arrest of FA president
Kingsley Kobo
Football, News
The Democratic Republic of Congo football league has been suspended following the arrest of the country's football association president.
Constant Omari, president of the football body (FECOFA), and three of his collaborators were taken into custody by police on Wednesday on charges of corruption and misappropriation of funds.
According to a special anti-graft unit attached to the Presidency, the four men were arrested for an alleged involvement in the embezzlement of funds earmarked for the national teams – senior and youth.
In solidarity with the FA boss, LINAFOOT, which organises the local topflight, announced an indefinite suspension of the competition.
"The LINAFOOT regrets to inform the general public and in particular the clubs involved in matchday 23 of the domestic league that in solidarity with the president of FECOFA and his two vice-presidents, who have been humiliated and unfairly arrested, it is suspending all activities until further notice."

The Next Step Meeting also allows us to catch any mistakes or missing items that need to be added to the plans prior to the design phase. Our goal is to get on the same page and answer any questions you have regarding your future home.
4. Selection Meeting & Final Sign-Off.It's time to personalize your new home! You will spend time with an in-house Interior Designer in our state of the art Design Center. At your Selections Meeting, you will be able to choose from a wide array of products to personalize your home – featuring Tuscan, Traditional, and Contemporary products for your choosing. Here, you have the opportunity to hold, touch, and pair a variety of products together in a very customizable way. At this meeting, you will also review landscaping options, review an address specific set of plans, and be given access to our Home builder portal where you can review selections and monitor the construction of your home in an interactive and responsive way. Following your selections meeting, you will have the final sign-off meeting summarizing all your choices. At this point in time, you confirm that all options, colors, and features have been selected appropriately prior to making a deposit on design upgrades. This is also the last time to make any changes or additions. Changes made after this point are at the builder's discretion and a change order fee will be charged.
5. Pre-Construction Meeting.Once you have signed off on all of your flex option and selection preferences, you will meet with your construction manager at the Esperanza Construction Office to ensure that all of your preferences are recorded on the floor plan. Once your pre-construction meeting is complete, we will provide you with the time-frame it will take to complete your home. You will also have access to our online home building portal which will detail your selections, important dates, provided photo updates, and a timeline overview. Most Esperanza homes take about 16 weeks to build, weather permitting.
6. Framing & Electrical Walk-Through.You will have an opportunity for a pre-drywall review with your construction manager to confirm that all structural and electrical items were added accordingly. This is also a great chance to review the phenomenal quality of our construction. Your construction manager will detail items such as electrical wiring which is included with the home.
7. Site Visits. Active construction sites are exciting, but potentially dangerous places. For your own safety, and in compliance with insurance regulations, we require that you visit the site Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Your sales leader and construction manager would love to accompany you – wearing hard hats – on these visits. Also, it is imperative that you refrain from questioning or making suggestions to trade crews. Your construction manager is your primary point of contact for any construction related questions.
8. Pre-Closing Final Walk Through.This is our opportunity to orientate you on the usage of your home and the products you selected. You will learn the details on how your home works, be taught how to maintain your home effectively, and shown how to submit warranty claims should you ever need to. This detailed orientation includes demonstrations of the many features and systems in your new home.
9. Closing.By following the steps outlined above, you can be assured of a smooth, on-time closing which will take place at the Title Company. Our mortgage coordinator will work with you and your lender to ensure that you are aware of closing dates, documents needed to close, and required funds.
Congratulations and Enjoy Your New Home!

Q: Firefox transition not working (with declared initial values) The following transition animation works on all browsers except Firefox. I know you have to initialise the attributes to be transitioned in Firefox. In this case the three attributes that are animated, border, letter-spacing and background, are given explicitly declared default values.
>a {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 10px 0;
    display: block;
    color: white;
    width: 100%;
    -webkit-transition: border .5s, letter-spacing .2s, background .5s;
    -moz-transition: border .5s, letter-spacing .2s, background .5s;
    -ms-transition: border .5s, letter-spacing .2s, background .5s;
    -o-transition: border .5s, letter-spacing .2s, background .5s;
    transition: border .5s, letter-spacing .2s, background .5s;
    background: transparent;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
    border-top: 1px solid transparent;
    border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
}
>a:hover {
    background: blue;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
}

There's a working fiddle here
The submenu elements are the elements who's transition anim works on all except Firefox (v.31 OS X).
(I apologise for the long and cryptic CSS  in the fiddle, I use SASS. I've commented the relevant part of the CSS with:
/*
   TWISTED TRANSITION
*/

to help you find it)
EDIT:
Seeing Fabio's comment I'm wondering if other people could leave me a comment if it works for them or not. I'm starting to wonder if it's not an OS X FireFox glitch.

A: Just style the li, instead of the a
header nav > .ul_wrap > ul > li > ul > li {
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
display: block;
color: white;
width: 100%;

transition: all 5s ease-in-out;
background: transparent;
letter-spacing: 1px;
border-top: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
}
header nav > .ul_wrap > ul > li > ul > li:hover {
background: #3b4979;
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
border-top: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
letter-spacing: 2px;
-webkit-box-shadow: #273565 0 0 2px 1px inset;
-moz-box-shadow: #273565 0 0 2px 1px inset;
box-shadow: #273565 0 0 2px 1px inset;
}
header nav > .ul_wrap > ul > li > ul > li > a{color:#fff}

I tried it in FF and works perfectly fine. see fiddle
