Question: The oil pressure light on my 1970 Camaro just started flickering when the engine is warm and the car is idling in gear. If I put it in neutral, the light goes right off. Why does this happen?
Answer: The simple explanation is that the oil pressure sending unit is telling the warning light that the oil pressure is right on the verge of being too low. The reason that the light goes off when you put the car in neutral is because the engine RPMs increase just enough to raise the oil pressure past the threshold required to shut the warning light off.
Unless you want to risk ruining your engine it is imperative that you determine whether the oil pressure is actually too low. The only way to do this with any degree of certainty is to temporarily install an oil pressure gauge on the engine to see what the actual oil pressure is. If the oil pressure is in the normal range, then replacement of the sending unit will most likely solve your problem.
This brings up the question of "what is normal?" You don't say which engine you have in your Camaro, if it is stock, or how many miles it has accumulated. For most GM engines of this era you only need about 10PSI at idle with the engine warm. I've seen many high mileage engines running with as little as 5PSI at idle with the engine warm. It should rise to a maximum of about 35PSI – 50PSI at 2500RPM or above. When the engine is cold, don't be surprised to see readings above 60PSI until the engine warms up.


Lemmings is a puzzle-platformer video game.
Don't bother with the install, just run LEMMINGS.EXE straight out. DOES NOT WORK!!!
Strangely, this game works best on DOSBox with low amounts of CPU. It also works with high amounts, but no speaker sounds come out.

Q: Density of Baire's Theorem for Complete Metric Spaces
Let $\{G_n\}$ be a sequence of dense open subsets of a complete metric space $X$. Show that $ \bigcap_{n \geq 1}G_n$ is nonempty.

Proof:
Consider some point $p_1 \in G_1$. There exist real numbers $0< r_1 <r<1$ such that
$$N_1 = N_{r_1} (p_1) \subset N_r (p_1) \subset G_1.$$
Let $q$ be a limit point of $N_1$. For any $\epsilon > 0$ we can find $x \in X$ such that $x \in N_1$ and $x \in N_\epsilon (q)$. Hence
$$d(p_1, q) \leq d(p_1, x) + d(x, q)<r_1 + \epsilon.$$
Since $\epsilon$ was arbitrary it follows that
$$d(p_1, q) \leq r_1.$$
Thus, if $q$ is any limit point of $N_1$, $q$ is an interior point of $G_1$ (to see this, simply consider the neighbourhood of radius $0<\epsilon<r-r_1$) and so we can write
$\overline{N_1} \subset G_1.$
Since the $G_n$ are dense, either $p_1$ is a point in $G_2$ or a limit point of $G_2$. In either case, arguing as above, we can find a point $p_2 \in G_2 $ and a neighbourhood of $p_2$ with radius $r_2 < \min\big(r_1, \frac{1}{2}\big)$ such that
$$\overline{N_2} \subset \overline{N_1}$$
and, since the $G_n$ are all open, we also choose $r_2$ small enough that
$$\overline{N_2} \subset G_2.$$
Continuing this process, we can construct the sequence of closed subsets $\Big\{\overline{N_n}\Big\}$. Further, by the way we have chosen the $r_n$ (i.e., $0<r_n<\frac{1}{n}$), it follows $r_n \to 0$, so we have actually constructed a nested sequence of closed bounded sets $\Big\{\overline{N_n}\Big\}$ such that $diam \overline{N_n} \to 0.$ Since $X$ is a complete metric space, the intersection of this sequence is nonempty and since each $$\overline{N_n} \subset G_n$$ the result follows. $\qquad \square$
Assuming this proof is correct, I am wondering if it can be extended to show that the intersection of the $G_n$ is actually dense, or if that requires a completely different line of argument?

A: That the intersection of the $G_n$ is dense, is a small modification of the above argument: let $O$ be any non-empty open set in $X$, and start with an open ball $N_0 \subseteq O$ and stay inside $N_0$ with all subsequent steps. This hardly takes any effort at all, but does show that the $x \in \cap G_n$ is also in $N_0$ hence in $O$. So the intersection of the $G_n$ intersects every non-empty open set, hence is dense.
The construction of the $N_n$ can be a bit simplified:

*

*Start with $p_0 \in O$ and $N_0 := B(p, r_0) \subseteq O$.

*$N_0$ is open, so $G_1 \cap N_0$ is non-empty (as $G_1$ is dense) and open (as $G_1$ is open). So pick $p_1 \in G_1 \cap N_0$ and let $0< r_1 < 1$ be small enough that $\overline{B(p_1, r_1)} \subseteq G_1 \cap N_0$. Define $N_1 = B(p_1, r_1)$.

*$N_1$ is open and again we have that $p_2 \in N_1 \cap G_0 \cap G_1$ exists by denseness and this set is open so there exists $0<r_2 < \frac12$ such that $\overline{B(p_2, r_2}) \subseteq (N_1 \cap G_0 \cap G_1)$. Define $N_2 = B(p_2, r_2)$.

*continue this process recursively.

No distinguishing limit points etc. Just go straight to the goal.
Then the $\overline{N_n}$ $n \ge 1$ form the required nested family that the Cantor intersection theorem can be applied to. The promised $p \in \bigcap_{n \ge 1} \overline{N_n} \subseteq O \cap \bigcap_{n \ge 1}O_n$ witnesses the denseness of $\bigcap_{n \ge 1} G_n$.

A: The proofs of @Bollo and @Brandsma are great and I try to supplement a situation when the metric space is finite.
Supplement proof:
When the metric space $X$ is a finite set, it is always complete. However, there is no such open set $N_r(p_1) \subset G_1$ (in your proof) because every point is an isolated point. Therefore the only dense open subset of $X$ is itself. So the intersection is itself, which is dense.

Court challenge fails to stop Calif. gay marriages
The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to halt gay marriages in the state, leaving opponents of same-sex weddings few if any legal options to stop the unions.
The brief, unanimous ruling tossed out a legal challenge by ban supporters without addressing their legal arguments in support of Proposition 8, a ballot measure passed by voter in 2008 that banned gay marriage.
Austin R. Nimocks, an attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, a group that wants to end gay marriage, said the ruling does not end the debate in California. He called on lawmakers to ban gay marriage but declined to say whether a legal challenge will be filed.
"Though the current California officials are unwilling to enforce the state constitution, we remain hopeful that one day Californians will elect officials who will" he said.
Supporters of gay marriage were girding for a continued fight.
"By now, I suppose we know better than to predict that Prop 8 proponents will actually give up their fight," San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said. "But it's certainly fair to say that their remaining legal options are increasingly absurd."
The state high court ruling came about two months after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider the issue, leaving in place a lower-court ruling that struck down the ballot measure as unconstitutional.

SYRIA – TURKEY
Vicar of Aleppo slams US and Europe for betraying the Kurds and boosting jihadis
Washington promised independence to the Kurds, and now it has abandoned them to their foe. Europe (and the UN) "have done nothing" concrete other than endorse sanctions. The killings during Turkey's offensive are similar to the massacres by Islamic extremists. Ethnic cleansing is affecting Christians too.
Aleppo (AsiaNews) - The United States "has betrayed the Kurdish people", deceiving them about a possible path towards "independence" from Syria and then abandoning them to their fate for their own reasons, said Mgr Georges Abou Khazen, apostolic vicar of Aleppo of the Latins, reacting to Turkey's jihadi-backed anti-Kurdish offensive in northern Syria.
The prelate is also critical of Europe, which "we do not trust. We do not believe in them. On the sixth day of fighting, they have done nothing so far" other than utter empty words and proclamations.
"We are very worried about what is happening," said the vicar, "as a result of the Turkish invasion in the northeast. We already have tens of thousands of refugees, with many stories of people horribly killed on the ground, according to Daesh[i] modus operandi: executed their hands tied."
The victims include "not only Kurds, but also Armenian Christians, Assyrians, Chaldeans who have already known persecution under the Ottoman Empire, which is now affecting their grandchildren and great-grandchildren".
In Qamishli "the first victims of the bombing were two Christians" and if the Turkish "offensive continues, many will try to escape," triggering a new exodus.
From the latest war reports it is clear, as some have suggested, that anti-Assad jihadi groups and militias are an integral part of the forces the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent in. On paper, he claims that he is fighting terrorism and wants to eliminate the Islamic State group, but on the ground, he is favouring its revival.
"Jihadis operate and fight under the auspices of the Turkish army. They [the Turks] claim they want to repatriate Syrian refugees to places where other peoples and communities already live," the vicar explained. "In fact, the goal is ethnic cleansing, to settle other refugees. They are doing the same in Afrin, causing a human tragedy. Meanwhile, political leaders are doing nothing. These wars do not solve problems; on the contrary, they lay the foundations for other, bigger ones."
"The United States has betrayed the Kurds. It is true that the Syrians were against Kurdish independence. A form of autonomy could be envisaged but it was the Americans who pushed them towards independence. The US helped them occupy a quarter of Syrian territory, where there are oil wells and natural gas reserves. And now they have abandoned them and sold them" to their Turkish foe.
"Trump has pledged US million to defend minorities in Syria, but they are the first victims of American policy in Syria. The White House used Syria; for us its biggest mistake was intervening in our internal affairs."
The Turkish offensive has also created problems related to "the thousands of prisoners in the hands of the Kurds. "What will happen to those who helped Daesh?" wonders the prelate. "With Turkey's offensive, they'll end up with those Ankara trained and helped, encouraging their entry [into the country], and whose revival will now be favoured by the [Turkish] occupation."
The vicar of Aleppo is harsh with Europe as well, "which we don't trust. We do not believe in them" because "they have done nothing" other than make empty statements which do not fit the facts.
Neither the European Union nor the United Nations "have done anything concrete in nine years; indeed, they have favoured the escalation of sanctions against Syria, which have ended up affecting only the population."
Some reports from the disputed areas mention "damages to power stations and aqueducts, which will eventually aggravate the situation for the civilian population."
Hopefully, if the Syrian army moves in it can contribute "to the defence of the territory. It is clear that Turkey has not done all this on its own, but has received the green light from big powers and only they can put an end to all this."
"At first, Turkey spoke of a 5 km buffer zone in Syrian territory. Yesterday Erdogan went as far as 30-35 km . . . The more you get the more you want."

Fanning the Fires: Metaphors describing Vladimir Putin
May 23, 2014 Figurative Language, Media, Metaphors, PoliticsDemocrats, ESL/EFL learners, figurative language, media, metaphors, politicians, politics, Putin, RepublicansAndrew Gallagher
I normally discuss only domestic politics in my blog, but today I would like to delve into a bit of international politics. Out of curiosity, I recently analyzed a TIME magazine article about Vladimir Putin to see what metaphors were used to describe him. If you are a TIME subscriber, you can find the article here at http://time.com/92067/vladimir-putins-war/. It is in the May 19th edition of the magazine entitled "'This is War': Vladimir Putin has seized Crimea and destabilized Ukraine. What drives him?" pp. 30-35, written by Michael Crowley and Simon Shuster.
As you may know, Vladimir Putin has recently been very aggressive in his political and military actions in Russia. He was able to annex Crimea, a former part of the Soviet Union. More recently, he has made moves to annex Ukraine as well, leading to armed conflicts between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian military forces and civilians.
In the article I discovered a wide variety of metaphors and figurative language used to describe Putin, his actions and the countries involved in the conflicts. For the summary today, I have chosen a few common categories of conceptual metaphors including nature, personification, metonymy, physical forces, journeys, theater, buildings and fire. All examples are taken directly from the article. Italics are mine to indicate the metaphor(s) being discussed.
It is quite common to describe states and actions in politics in terms of conditions in nature.
One way to describe the origins of a social or political condition is to compare them to the roots of a tree. One of the sections of the article summarizing Putin's policies is described simply as follows:
Example: The Roots of Putinism
tepid reaction
States, conditions or actions can also be described in terms of temperature. In a previous post, I described how temperatures correlate to emotions. For example, have hot or cold emotional reactions to a situation. If one does not react at all, we can also say that it is a lukewarm or tepid reaction. Another section of the article describing the reactions of the United States and European countries as being weak or tepid.
Example: A Tepid Western Reaction
rotting
We all have experience with rotting fruits and vegetables. In a twist of metaphors based on apples, the authors compare Moscow to a core of an apple, while the West is rotting.
Example: Then there is the geopolitical creed of Eurasianism, which holds that Moscow is a "Third Rome" that must form the core of a civilization distinct from a decadent and rotting West.
Only people and animals can stand on legs, and yet we can metaphorically speak of conditions or arrangements also standing on their own. After Putin lost a close ally in Ukraine, he also lost influence in the area and lost a chance for a "vision of an ascendant Russia." The authors of the article then claim:
Example: He would not let it stand.
When two boxers engage in a fight, they normally stand across from each other. In some instances, this fighting position is referred to a standoff. Larger armed conflicts or political battles may also be called standoffs.
Example: Last month, when Ukrainian soldiers came to put down a pro-Russian rebellion in Smolin's hometown, his mother Irina was among the first civilians who tried to block the troops by surrounding them. "If I had a gun, I would shoot them myself," she says. Instead she called her son and his friends to join the standoff, which lasted for nearly 12 hours under a heavy spring rain.
strong and weak
People can be described as being physically strong or weak. Metaphorically, actions or behavior can also be described as strong or weak. The authors of the article use these metaphors several times to describe the reactions of the United States to Putin's aggressive moves. In another instance, they describe Putin in terms of political strength or weakness.
Example: David Cohen, the U.S. Treasury Department official in charge of sanctions, told CNN on May 4 that the sanctions are "strong and strategic."
Example: Obama's critics beg to differ. "Days late and dollars short," GOP Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham said in an April 28 statement decrying the "disturbing mismatch between Russia's actions and our weak response to it." They argue the sanctions imposed to date will barely dent Russia's $2 trillion economy.
Example: Whether Putin is operating from a position of strength or weakness remains a crucial, and open, question for the West.
a dagger in the heart
Countries or political arrangements can be described as if they are people. The central part of an arrangement may be described as the heart of it. Breaking up an agreement or ending a project might be referred to as putting a dagger in its heart.
Example: By breaching NATO's eastern border, he might divide its members over how to respond. Such a direct challenge could be, in the words of former CIA chief John McLaughlin, a "dagger in the heart of the alliance."
A special type of personification occurs when a building, city or country is described in terms of a person. This type of figurative language is known as metonymy. In the classic example from the Cold War, reporters often stated that "The Kremlin is talking to the White House" meaning that the governments located in those buildings were negotiating some political agreement.
In this article, the authors describe Moscow as a person.
Example: France has muted early talk of suspending construction of a helicopter-carrier ship that Moscow purchased in 2011 for a handsome $1.6 billion.
Example: The gambit may have also been a sign of recognition that Ukraine remains an ungovernable mess, even to Moscow.
Countries are also described as people who live close together as neighbors.
Example: As Putin continues to menace his neighbors, Western analysts are revising their assumptions about Russia's cocksure President.
Countries or geographical regions can also be considered as people who have social relationships. In this case, Ukraine and the West are described as having close ties as if they are friends or colleagues.
Example: In November, Putin managed to persuade Yanukovych to reject an economic agreement with the European Union that would bring closer ties between Ukraine and the West.
The actions of governments are often described in terms of a person performing a physical action.
crack down, quash, crush
When governments forcefully stop the actions of rebel groups, this action is sometimes described as cracking down on something as if one is hitting it with a stick making a sharp cracking noise. We may also say that they quash or crush something as well.
Example: Putin cracked down on dissent, jailing political rivals and staging an autocratic transition in which he handed off the presidency to his close ally, Dmitri Medvedev, from 2008 to 2012 (while Putin served as Prime Minister), before announcing he would return as President in 2011.
Example: Putin quashed the protests of 2012 handily.
Example: "Putin will have crushed NATO if our eastern borders are not the red line."
leverage, oust, undercut
A lever is a tool used to move a heavy object. Metaphorically a person can use leverage to change a situation. A person can also move an object from inside an area to outside an area. Thus one can physically oust a person or a group, or metaphorically oust something from a particular area. Finally, one can also cut something with a knife. To undercut something means to cut lower than expected. Metaphorically, this means to impair a person or group from achieving a goal.
Example: Now Putin is following the time-honored autocrat's tactic of leveraging popularity gained by foreign adventurism to crack down on opposition at home. In recent weeks he has shut down TV Dozhd, a rare source of critical reporting about the Kremlin, and in mid-March, the editor of a popular online news site was ousted for linking to the statements of a Ukrainian ultranationalist.
Example: The U.K. government supports the sanctions so far, but London's uncertainty about its membership in the European Union undercuts its ability to lead.
Vehicles/Journeys
Progress made towards a goal can be described as journey or as someone operating a vehicle.
drive, steer, lead
In metaphorical terms, we can describe a journey as someone driving, steering or leading towards a goal.
Example: Russia's president has seized Crimea and destabilized Ukraine. What drives him?
Example: It's not clear where Putin plans to steer it next or whether he even knows where it might lead.
Losing progress toward achieving a goal may be described as going in reverse.
Example: Putin was determined to reverse such slights and restore Russia's place in the ranks of great powers.
path, pull, orbit
In another set of metaphorical journey terms, we can say that a person is on a path towards a goal or someone is pulling someone in a certain direction. In the following direction, the authors mix metaphors of driving on a path with flying in an orbit in outer space.
Example: It will also allow Kiev to implement economic reforms required as part of the IMF's $18 billion aid package, which may be the best path to pull Ukraine into the orbit of the West.
One way of talking about government actions is to describe them in terms of a theatrical production including metaphorical expressions such as being on the world stage, staging and actors in a scene. In a final example, the authors mix metaphors of chess – endgame – and the theater – bad actors.
The Orpheum Theater in Vancouver, British Columbia
Example: His advisers have told Western counterparts that Putin long ago grew tired of being made to feel like a second-class citizen on the world stage by American Presidents from both parties.
Example: There is always the risk that whatever Putin's endgame, bad actors on the local scene now have ideas of their own.
Governments can be described metaphorically as buildings, while the concept can also be used as an action verb as in building a coalition.
In one example, we speak of a government creating colonial nation-states around the world as empire-building.
Example: And he is throwing a darker shadow over the 21st century as well: Putin's talk of lost empires, historic grievances and the moral decadence of the West seems drawn from another era, a throwback to the nationalistic, empire-building Russian czars for whom Putin so often professes his admiration.
Marble pillars at the Ranakpur Jain Temple in Rajasthan, India
Some ornate buildings are supported by internal or external columns called pillars. Metaphorically, a pillar is a person or thing that supports a cause, as in the familiar phrase, the pillar of the community. In this example, the authors quote a diplomat as he describes Putin's influence around the world by saying that he has upended the pillar of an old world order.
Example: "Putin has made Russian chauvinism and irredentism the basis of Russian policy," says Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution in Washington and a former Deputy Secretary of State. "He has upended what was a fairly major pillar of what George Herbert Walker Bush called the new world order."
We are all familiar with the phrase describing something as being in a shambles. Originally, a shamble was a stall in a marketplace used as a meat or fish market. Apparently, these stalls were often messy or disorderly since a metaphorical phrase developed described a messy situation as being in shambles. In this example, we also see the use of a painting metaphor as in something not being completely painted as being spotty.
Example: The economy is in shambles, and civil order is spotty in places.
escalate, de-escalate
A very common way to talk about a situation getting worse is to say that it is escalating. Conversely, a problem that is being resolved may be described as de-escalate. The word escalate is derived from a word meaning a ladder outside of a house, and its derivatives are common in Romance languages to indicate stairs in a house. In the first example, the authors are describing a man named Smolin who was involved in shootout in Ukraine.
Example: The situation escalated when one of Smolin's friends threw a Molotov cocktail at the Ukrainian soldiers.
Example: After agreeing to a mid-April diplomatic deal that promised to de-escalate the crisis, Putin trampled on it. People who until recently scoffed at the notion of a new European war–one that could draw in NATO and the U.S.–watch the escalating violence in places like Odessa with rising anxiety. "This is real," says Michael McFaul, President Obama's last ambassador to Moscow. "This is war."
We may also discuss political problems as if they are items inside a closed container.
corked bottles
In one case, the authors have a heading of a section of their article regarding the problems in Ukraine in terms of wine inside of a corked bottle:
Example: Can the Bottle Be Corked?
We can also describe a problem as if it is something wrapped up like a small package. In a rephrasing of a famous old phrase, the authors quote Winston Churchill.
Example: Winston Churchill's old line about Russia– "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma"–could easily apply to Putin himself.
Finally, perhaps the most interesting of all the metaphors used to describe the situation in Ukraine is that of fire. It is common to describe areas of violent conflict as something that is on fire, smoking, having a flash point or being a tinderbox.
The point at which a combustible material catches fire is called its flash point. Metaphorically, a political situation that may lead to armed conflict or war may also be described as being a flash point. In this example, the situation in Ukraine is described as a flash point in the region.
Example: In the near term, Ukraine will likely serve as a kind of buffer state between Russia and the West–and a lingering flash point for many months, if not years, to come.
When a fire burns it often produces smoke, and when something explodes there is also a great deal of smoke so we may say that something that is stopped or destroyed goes up in smoke.
Example: A series of early predictions–that he wouldn't seize Crimea, or that seizing Crimea would satisfy him–are up in smoke.
Another way to describe a possibly dangerous situation is to refer to it as a tinderbox, which was the term for a portable box of combustible materials and flint used to start fires in the days before the common availability of matches. An action that creates a new and dangerous conflict may be described as putting a match to the tinderbox.
Example: Unlike Ukraine, the three countries are members of NATO, the collective defense organization whose charter would obligate every member–including the U.S.–to treat any Russian aggression against those countries as aggression against themselves. A move on Latvia, where 26% of the population is ethnic Russian, could put a match to the tinderbox.
stoke, fanning the fires
In one case, we see an example of increasing a conflict or inciting a group to act as stoking a fire or fanning the fires to increase the heat and intensity of the flames.
Example: Not until Russian President Vladimir Putin began to stoke Russian nationalism with his speeches, propaganda and military interventions–first in Crimea and now in eastern Ukraine. Fanning the kind of ethnic fires that burned down the Balkans in the 1990s, Putin has claimed the broad right to protect "compatriots and fellow citizens" outside Russia.
In sum, the metaphors describing the situation in Ukraine and the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin run the gamut of different types of conceptual metaphors. Readers will need to understand metaphors of buildings, containers, theaters, journeys, physical forces as well as the special types of figurative language known as personification and metonymy. I hope that these examples help everyone understand the descriptions of political actions in this article in TIME magazine. Comments and questions are always welcome.

Regent Court is a block of flats in the Hillsborough district of Sheffield, England. It is located on Bradfield Road and is close to the Hillsborough shopping area and about half a mile from the Sheffield Wednesday football ground.

The building was designed in 1936 by Edgar Gardham and completed in 1937; it was the largest housing complex in the city at the time. Little is known of the architect and he designed a similar apartment block that was in Duke Street, Sheffield; this was demolished after the Second World War. While he also designed some housing for local authority development in other parts of the country, Regent Court was his most well known commission. According to an article published in the Sheffield Daily Independent on Saturday 13 November 1937, the vision and capital to undertake the building came from Armin Krausz who travelled extensively, making a thorough study of this kind of building. The site was a man-made swamp because of its vicinity to the Nether Owlerton Dam that had served the Nether Owlerton Wheel works which meant that the footings for the building were much deeper than originally planned. Despite lying in a working class area, the building boasted high specifications and rents.  With styling loosely inspired by in the Streamline Moderne style, it was arguably the first workers' housing of the modern movement in the UK, preceding the purer Kensal House in London by a year.

Regent Court was built round three sides of a square with the open side facing south and is nine storeys high in the main block and seven storeys on the east and west wings with a central entrance leading to a communal lounge. The central block and each wing have a lift though these are quite small and slow; there is no service lift.  In total, it comprises 202 flats, ranging from one to three bedrooms which are accessed along open balcony walkways. The heating at Regent Court is included with the rent as is the constant supply of hot water. Each flat was self contained and also had its own sun balcony; some of those have now been incorporated into the internal living space of the flat. Kitchenettes were equipped with modern devices and the bathrooms had both a toilet and a bath. There was an on site laundrette.  Each flat owner has to contribute to the cost of upkeep/maintenance of the block and pay for things like the caretaker's wage, gardening, heating etc.

When originally built, Regent Court had a Tennis court and gardens, some lock up garages and a children's playground. In the 1930s this was fairly far sighted. The proposed swimming pool and bowling green were never built, perhaps due to cost and possibly the war.

An article written in the Sheffield Property Guide (Saturday 24 June 1972) stated that by the 1960s the flats had deteriorated to near slums and had new owners in 1971 who began renovating them. The renovations included the replacement of a leaky roof and the replacement of the coal fired heating system with an oil fired three boiler system; 3 new lifts were custom built at a cost of £30,000. All empty flats were refurbished, including rewiring and redecorating and then offered for sale. Regent Court was renovated again the late 1990s after years of neglect and it is now a popular residential location.

The flats were used in the film, The Full Monty and also on the artwork of Made in Sheffield, an album by Tony Christie (a former resident).

It's no secret that culture reigns supreme. Far heartier than providing a special service and more valuable than delivering a new product, an engaging culture is that powerful yet abstract force that either compels you to get out of bed in the morning or causes you to hit the snooze button over and over again.
Without a positive working environment, the propensity for normalcy sets in, and to survive in a startup world, you don't want to be normal. After all, "normal" is synonymous with "ordinary," and last I checked nothing ordinary outsold or outperformed anything extraordinary.
Ingraining a killer company culture is something that requires daily attention and constant effort. A keen awareness coupled with feedback about what's said -- and what isn't -- are key indicators as to the type of culture that exists.
If there was a seventh wonder of the world, it would be the power of fast feedback. I'm not talking about the biannual or quarterly (at best) performance review sessions where your senior asks you why you said "X" on that Tuesday nine weeks ago. The "wait and debrief" approach doesn't work for the following reason: if something is worth correcting, it's worth correcting immediately. If it isn't, then that lesson loses its value.
Make feedback cyclical and habitual. Make it a part of your weekly operating rhythm. After all, it's easier to make small course corrections than grand changes.
The best way to overcome problems is to discuss them openly. Aim for a next-step solution rather than playing the retrospective blame-game. The more you cite the "other" as to the bane of your existence, the more people begin to see you not taking accountability for your own choices.
In remote teams it's really important to over-share information. Many misunderstandings are caused by mistaken assumptions, lack of information and insufficient communication. This is why it's good to keep clear written and verbal communication and organize weekly team video sessions. I have a mantra when it comes to working in teams: over-communicate or under-deliver.
Alari Aho, CEO of Toggl, demands trust. He believes that freedom of action combined with trust keeps away the "kindergarten syndrome," which is the propensity for managers to control and monitor more than one aspect of their team members' lives. Don't do that. Nobody likes being micro-managed.
If trust is an issue, the best way to build trust with someone is to extend it. You do this by trusting their competence and intention. Competence and intention must serve each other because that's what builds the perception of reliability.
Good culture is one of those things that you don't realize how necessary it is until you don't have it. Take actions to enhance your culture and make it unforgettable.

In her Sydney-only recital, British soprano Charlotte de Rothschild will weave a fascinating story of her famous family's connections with the great composers of Europe.
With her reputation as an international artist and after years of research, no-one is better placed than the soprano Charlotte de Rothschild to tell the unique story of the Rothschilds and their musical associations.
This is the musical story of her family which started via the family's founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Under his direction and genius, his five sons (hence the five arrows of the family crest) were sent to France, Germany, Austria, Italy and England to create the banking dynasty that has become so famous throughout Europe today.
Charlotte is the latest scion of the family to immerse herself in the rich heritage of her forebears, acting both as chronicler and voice of her family history. She has put together a celebration of songs and a collection of delightful anecdotes and she takes the listener on an aural journey through the Rothschild musical vaults, including some previously unknown works by various famous composers. These were either friends, teachers or relatives, such as Liszt, Poulenc, Rossini, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and her ancestors, Meyerbeer and Mathilde de Rothschild. Mathilde was a very talented composer who wrote beautiful songs. She was taught at the age of fifteen by Chopin, who was so impressed that even during his last illness, when he took few pupils, he found time for "the Rothschild girl". Her works were published by the major houses of Europe under her own name as "La Baronne Willy de Rothschild" or "Freifrau Willy von Rothschild" (she married a cousin). She was asked by many leading singers of the day to compose for them. Her most famous song "Si vous n'avez rien à me dire", also known as her "Romance", was the first of a set of five songs written for her friend Adelina Patti.
Some of this music was discovered in the form of a Livre d'Or – a musical autograph book, started in 1826 by a previous Charlotte de Rothschild, who obviously invited any composer who visited her to write either a song or piano piece into her book. The collection was added to by her daughter Mathilde and the book passed on through the female line, being added to well into the 20th Century by composers such as Bernstein, Hahn and Milhaud. Finding this musical autograph book was confirmation of Charlotte's research over the years.
In her Sydney-only recital, Charlotte will sing works by Mendelssohn, Chopin, Cherubini, Rossini, Liszt, Poulenc, Barber, Spohr, Hahn and Mathilde de Rothschild.

The last few weeks have been hectic, and I can't wait to finalize a few things and head out to Seattle for Thanksgiving, my dad's big birthday and Hanukkah latkes! In the mean time, not having a recipe to post today, I wanted to share a fun lunch I had in Boston during my Columbus Day weekend mini vacation.
Elyssa from State Dinner recommended I check out Stephanie's on Newbury for some great people watching and good food. She did not steer me wrong!
One of the benefits of traveling solo is that you are on your own schedule. It's also much easier to snag a table for one instead of a table for four. Of course it's sometimes lonely to dine by yourself, but that's where Stephanie's on Newbury was a great place: I sat outside, enjoyed the sunshine, and checked out many different fashion trends Bostonians and tourists wore as they passed the restaurant.
I ordered a short rib sandwich with sweet potato fries. Look at the meat! Let's just say I ate the sandwich with a fork. The meat was tender and juicy and filled with flavor. The sweet potato fries were thin and crispy and benefited from a sprinkle of salt. The coleslaw, however, had zero flavor. That was fine with me: there was plenty of good food on the plate.
If you are ever in Boston and need a break from shopping on Newbruy street, head out to Stephanie's for lunch.
I <3 Steph's restaurants - she has incredible coffee ice cream profiteroles that you must try if you go back!

Admissions / Connections Dual Admissions / Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make an appointment to meet with someone about the Connections Program?
Yes. To learn more about the Connections Program please sign up for an Information Session.
Our next information sessions will be held in Summer/Fall 2020.
We recommend attending the Preview UC and College Close-Up prior to the information session.
How many years will it take me to complete the combination of my undergraduate degree and Medical School as part of the Connections Program?
Connections Program students spend four years completing their undergraduate degree, followed by four years at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Students who choose to be a part of a major with required co-op will finish their undergraduate degree in five years, followed by four years at the College of Medicine.
Are Connections students required to take the MCAT or to maintain certain a certain GPA?
Yes. Connections students must take the MCAT and score a minimum composite score, with a minimum score on each MCAT subsection. Students must also earn a minimum AMCAS-calculated cumulative GPA of 3.50 and BCPM 3.50.
If I finish college in less than four years, can I begin medical school early?
No. Most Connections students come to college with a significant number of AP, post secondary, and/or IB credits; however, students are not permitted to enter the College of Medicine until four years after starting their undergraduate degree. Instead, students are encouraged to utilize this advantage by participating in special opportunities (e.g., multiple majors, study abroad, internships, co-ops, research, dual degrees).
Is the Connections Program binding?
No. The Connections Program does not require that students matriculate to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. However,the majority of Connections students do matriculate to our College of Medicine (~90%).
The Online Application
How do I access the application for the Connections Program?
The application opens in September each year and will be accessible on the Connections Dual Admissions Program homepage. Applications must be completed in-full prior to the application deadline posted on the Program's website. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Do I need to apply to the University of Cincinnati, or does my application to the Connections Program also address the undergraduate admissions process?
The Connections Dual Admission application is separate from the University of Cincinnati application for undergraduate admission. In order to interview for our program, you must have submitted your Common Application by the Connections application deadline, and, subsequently, be accepted to the University of Cincinnati undergraduate college. Please visit the UC Undergraduate Admissions website for application details.
Is there an essay component of the Connections Program application?
Yes. The essays are included with the online application. No separate essays should be submitted for application to this program. Additional essays/personal statements and other collateral materials not requested by the online application will not be considered.
Who should write my letters of recommendation?
Selecting individuals to write your recommendations is a personal decision. Your letters should be written by people who can comment on your strengths in science and your interest in and commitment to medicine. Letters should be written on letterhead and must be uploaded by the Letter Writer in the Application Portal.
Do I have to submit separate copies of official transcripts to the Connections Program and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions?
Yes. Students must complete the Connections application as outlined, independently from the undergraduate admissions application. This means that a school official must submit transcripts to the undergraduate admissions office, as well as upload a transcript via the Connections Application Portal. Transcripts sent to Connections are not shared with the Undergraduate Admissions office and vice versa. Transcripts must be uploaded to the portal directly (i.e., NOT via Naviance, Parchment, etc.).
How do I submit my ACT or SAT scores to the Connections Program? Do you have a separate school code?
The Connections Program uses students' self-reported ACT and SAT scores provided through the online application. We do not have a program specific code, and therefore cannot accept (and do not require) an official copy of the test scores report. Please note that the application process for Undergraduate Admissions at the University of Cincinnati is independent from Connections Program and you should follow the process for submitting ACT and/or SAT codes to them.
Can I pay the application fee by credit card?
Yes. You may also pay by electronic check. The application fee is submitted electronically with your online application.
My school has a policy that does not allow transcripts to be uploaded. How should I submit my transcript?
We understand that high schools have various policies regarding transcripts. If your school's policy dictates that transcripts must be sent via paper copy rather than uploaded, please have your counselor contact our office by email well in advance of the application deadline so that special accommodations can be made. All components of the application, including the transcript, must be received by the application deadline; incomplete applications will not be considered.
How will I be notified regarding the status of my Connections application?
All changes to the status of a Connections application will be communicated via the application status page. Therefore, students should regularly log-in to their applications (using their unique username and password combinations) and review the application status page for any updates regarding the status of their applications.
We STRONGLY recommend that students do not wait until the deadline to submit your application.
Students must first submit their Connections application in order for school officials/letter writers to receive the notification email instructing them to upload documents.
Applications are not complete until both letters of recommendation and transcript are submitted.
Can I meet with someone to discuss my Connections essays before I submit the online application?
No. We do not meet with applicants to discuss their applications. Instead, we suggest that you have a teacher or other trusted adult review your essays and written responses. It is important to construct essays that are focused and respond to the question, but that also reflect your personality and interests. Honest and reflective essays that refer to specific experiences are often more effective than those that rely on common observations ("I want to be a doctor because I want to help people").
What happens after I submit my Connections application?
Applications are reviewed after the application deadline. The application review committee will invite up to 32 students to interview on campus. Only students who have also completed the University of Cincinnati undergraduate application will be invited to interview. Students are notified of their invitation to interview via the application portal in late January or early February. Therefore, it is recommended that students regularly log-in to the portal at this time.
When will I know if I have been selected for an interview?
All applicants' statuses will be updated in the Application Portal as admissions decisions are made. Interview invitations will be posted in the Application Portal, and final admission decisions will be available in March or April each year. We do not discuss applicants' interview or admission status over the phone; applicants must first check the Application Portal. Applicants may contact our staff via email (hs2md@uc.edu) with follow-up questions.
Is the interview mandatory?
Do I have to live in Ohio to apply for the Connections Program?
No. The Connections Program welcomes applicants from any state within the United States (i.e., applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents). The proportion of out-of-state students varies from year to year, but overall roughly 20-50% of our students are out-of-state residents.
Student Life and Financial Aid
Does the College of Medicine offer special scholarships to Connections students?
No. However, many Connections students qualify for various merit-based scholarships and aid at the University level. Please visit the UC Office of Student Financial Aid website for more information.
Are students ever removed from the Connections Program?
Yes, in rare cases. If concerns arise at any time regarding students' academic performance, personal conduct, or professional development (including underage alcohol violations), they will be reviewed by the Admission Committee, and will be subject to action up to and including dismissal from the program.
Can students withdraw from the Connections Program?
Yes. We understand that making a decision about a career while still in high school is daunting. Students may withdraw at any time during their undergraduate career by submitting a signed letter to the Director of the Connections Dual Admissions Program.

Q: A question on asymptotically flat metrics For $M$ a Riemannian manifold, with Riemannian metric $g$ and $x$ a point in M, what is the meaning of "$g$ on $M\backslash\{x\}$ has an 'asymptotically flat end at $x$'."? (See this paper on page 16, line 4).
What are some basic properties of such metrics?

A: The sentence you wrote in your OP makes no sense.
The sentence which you intend to quote reads:

[T]he metric $g_{v_\infty}$, on $M\setminus \{x_\infty\}$ has an 'asymptotically flat end at $x_\infty$'.

Now, $g_{v_\infty}$ is not a Riemannian metric on $M$. The metric $g_{v_\infty}$ is constructed from $g$ with a conformal weight given by $v_\infty$, which by definition only exists on $M\setminus\{x_\infty\}$ as the function $v_\infty$ blows up at $x_\infty$. Hence $g_{v_\infty}$ is a Riemannian metric only on $M\setminus \{x_\infty\}$.
Therefore, the correct interpretation of the sentence you quoted is that

*

*The (non-compact) Riemannian manifold $(M\setminus \{x_\infty\}, g_{v_\infty})$ is asymptotically flat

*It only has one end, which is a neighborhood of $x_\infty$ in the following sense. There exists a neighborhood $V$ of $x_\infty$ (in the topology of the smooth compact manifold $M$) such that $M\setminus V$ is compact (automatically true) and that there exists a diffeomorphism of $V\setminus \{x\}$ with $\mathbb{R}^d \setminus \overline{B(1,0)}$ such that the usual asymptotic flatness decay condition for the metric $g_{v_\infty}$ holds.

In other words, the point $x_\infty$ is "the point at infinity" for its corresponding asymptotic flat end, or that one can regard $(M,g)$ as a one-point conformal compactification of $(M\setminus \{x_\infty\},g_{v_\infty})$

Q: Why a recursion happens here? Recently I read an interesting discussion on how to make a singleton in Python.
One of the solutions was a tricky decorator defining a class inside its code as a substitute for decorated class:
def singleton(class_):
    class class_w(class_):
        _instance = None
        def __new__(class2, *args, **kwargs):
            if class_w._instance is None:
                class_w._instance = super(class_w, class2).__new__(class2, *args, **kwargs)
                class_w._instance._sealed = False
            return class_w._instance
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            if self._sealed:
                return
            super(class_w, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
            self._sealed = True
    class_w.__name__ = class_.__name__
    return class_w

@singleton
class MyClass(object):
    def __init__(self, text):
        print text
    @classmethod
    def name(class_):
        print class_.__name__

x = MyClass(111)
x.name()
y = MyClass(222)
print id(x) == id(y)

Output is:
111     # the __init__ is called only on the 1st time
MyClass # the __name__ is preserved
True    # this is actually the same instance

It is stated, that if we use super(MyClass, self).__init__(text) inside __init__ of MyClass, we get into recursion.
I tested and indeed the recursion happens.
But, as I understand, MyClass inherits object, so super(MyClass, self) should just merely be object, but it turns out that super(MyClass, self) is __main__.MyClass
Could you explain what happens here step by step for me to understand the reasons why the recursion happens?

A: The problem is that by writing super(MyClass, self).__init__(text), you are saying to use the super relative to whatever class MyClass refers to at the time super is called.  But the decorator replaces MyClass with a subclass of itself.  So when your original __init__ method is called MyClass actually refers to a subclass of the class which defines the executing method.
To say it step by step, I'm going to call the original class (as written in the source) OrigMyClass, and the resulting version (after the decorator) DecMyClass.  I'll use MyClass just as a variable, because its meaning changes during the course of execution.

*

*You define an __init__ method on OrigMyClass, but that __init__ method calls super(MyClass, self), not super(OrigMyClass, self).  Thus, what method will actually be called depends on what MyClass refers to at the time the method is called. The value of MyClass is looked up at execution time like any other variable; placing it inside the super call or inside the __init__ method does not magically bind it to the class it happens to be in when you write it; variables in functions are evaluated when they are called, not when they are defined.

*The decorator runs.  The decorator defines a new class DecMyClass as a subclass of OrigMyClass.  DecMyClass defines an __init__ that calls super(DecMyClass, self).

*After the decorator runs, the name MyClass is bound to the class DecMyClass.  Note that this means that when the super(MyClass, self) call later executes, it will be doing super(DecMyClass, self).

*When you do MyClass(111), you instantiate an object of DecMyClass.  DecMyClass.__init__ calls super(DecMyClass, self).__init__.  This executes OrigMyClass.__init__.

*OrigMyClass.__init__ calls super(MyClass, self).__init__.  Because MyClass refers to DecMyClass, this is the same as super(DecMyClass, self).__init__.  But DecMyClass is a subclass of OrigMyClass.  The key point is that because MyClass refers to DecMyClass, OrigMyClass is actually calling super on a subclass of itself.

*Thus super(DecMyClass, self).__init__ again calls OrigMyClass.__init__, which again calls itself, and so on to infinity.
The effect is the same as this code, which may make the execution path more obvious:
>>> class Super(object):
...     def __init__(self):
...         print "In super init"
...         super(Sub, self).__init__()
>>> class Sub(Super):
...     def __init__(self):
...         print "In sub init"
...         super(Sub, self).__init__()

Note that Super calls super(Sub, self).  It is trying to call a superclass method, but it tries to call the superclass method of Sub.  The superclass of Sub is Super, so Super winds up calling its own method again.
Edit: Just to clarify the name-lookup issues you raised, here's another slightly different example that has the same result:
>>> class Super(object):
...     def __init__(self):
...         print "In super init"
...         super(someClass, self).__init__()
>>> class Sub(Super):
...     def __init__(self):
...         print "In sub init"
...         super(Sub, self).__init__()
>>> someClass = Sub

This should make it clear that the class argument to super (the first argument, here someClass) is not special in any way.  It is just an ordinary name whose value is looked up in the ordinary way at the ordinary time, namely when the super call is executed.  As shown by this example, the variable doesn't even have to exist at the time you define the method; the value is looked up at the time you call the method.

MM's Kitchen Bites: Bengali Cholar Dal...love guaranteed at first bite!!
Bengali Cholar Dal...love guaranteed at first bite!!
Wash and soak the dal for about half an hour.
Drain and pressure cook/in a pan with water, turmeric, salt and ginger paste. (if pressure cook – one whistle on high, and then 10 minutes on low). Dal should be cooked and soft but not go completely mushy.
Mix cumin powder, coriander powder and red chili powder with a tablespoon of water and keep aside.
Smoke mustard oil in a pan, lower the flame and fry the coconut pieces till light golden. Take them out and keep aside.
In the same oil and still on low flame, add bay leaf, red chilies, cardamoms, cloves and cinnamon. After about 10-15 seconds, add garlic and fry well.
Add the chopped tomatoes. Once tomatoes go a little mushy, add the spice mix mixed with water kept aside earlier.
Let the tomatoes cook till absolutely mushy and oil separates.
Pour this mixture into the dal along with the sugar. Dal needs to boil again with the tomato mix - add about half cup water at this stage, if needed.
Let it come to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes till it reaches a thick consistency.
Add in the ghee and garam masala powder just before taking off the heat.
Garnish with fried coconut pieces and serve with luchi/puri, parantha or pulao.
A very new recipe to me....looks so creamy,yum and comforting !
Made this, but stopped in my tracks when I got to the tomatoes.... how many chopped tomatoes go in? I used one, but it didn't seem like enough. Thanks!
Flax Seed Chutney...end of one of the dramas!!
Cottage Cheese Fried Rice...Hungry Kya??

Squarespace is a great CMS that is really easy to use, but sometimes it takes the hand of a design pro to make it look just right. Recently I was contacted through my Squarespace microsite by a client who had been using Squarespace for a while, but needed some help in making the site look more professional. The client is a professional golfer from Canada, so he needed something that reflected a more polished image, but didn't cost the earth - every sponsor/fundraising dollar counts when you're a young pro. Squarespace is perfect for this, as I can turn out a polished design very quickly and easily, keeping the costs down. He also needed to be able to update his blog while on tour, without having to log in and think too much about the technology. Once again, Squarespace already has an 'email-to-blog' function built in, so all we needed to do was turn it on, and he was able to create blog posts just by sending an email to a special email address. Squarespace automatically turns those emails into posts. Easy as pie, and it means he can keep his focus on the golf rather than having to fiddle with logins and whatnot.
The cool thing about the project was that the content was mostly already there, it just needed to be restructured, finessed and brought into a more user-friendly navigation. I also helped create more search-engine-friendly page titles and descriptions, so things look a lot better on Google now. And because the client was already familiar with the Squarespace system, it didn't take much training, and we were able to handle the entire project by email smoothly, across 3000 miles.
We're both really pleased with the transformation.Why not pop over to Will Mitchell Golf yourself and have a look?
If you're in a similar situation - finding it hard to make Squarespace look pretty, or stuck with a boring cookie-cutter template - drop me a line and I'd be happy to help improve your site's look and/or user-friendliness.
P.S. We also took the opportunity of working together to professionalise the way his email newsletters were being sent. He had been using PDFs attached to an Outlook email, but now he has a stylish email newsletter template which matches his site branding. He can now track email opens, clicks, and easily add new subscribers. Sweet.


We would all agree that menstrual hygiene practices followed by the rural womenfolk in India are rather primitive and very unhygienic. Women are unaware of the availability of sanitary napkins and their usage or find sanitary napkins unaffordable. Resulting from this ignorance, they often resort to hay, sand, used and worn out cotton-clothes, etc. as napkins when on their periods.
1. We partnered with ENACTUS, who helped us procure sanitary pads at affordable prices from their partners in service. These pads were distributed in rural and semi-urban areas. We, in turn, helped ENACTUS by helping them reach out wider masses to spread awareness about hygienic practices and doing demonstrations about the same.
2. Johnson & Johnson, as part of their CSR initiatives, supplied napkins to us at subsidized prices and we distributed these napkins to the needy.
Water and Sanitation are two key aspects to living a healthy life. We ensure that we get this message across to as many people as possible and at the same time tell them how they should make use of the water that comes to their homes.
So far, about 2600 people have benefitted from this project initiated by us.
Initiated in 2014, Project MAMTA organized by SPOWAC has helped tackle a terminal disease like tubercolosis at the grassroot level.
So far, about 6,773 household have benefitted from this initiative of ours.
Held every month, SPOWAC organizes nutritional camps to educate people about the importance of being healthy and changing their diet to bring about a change in their lives.
So far, about 3,734 people are the beneficiaries of the Nutrition Camps organized by us.
Conducted once a fortnight, SPOWAC organizes health camps to spread awareness and organizes clinics to treat any diseases prevailing in the locality.


Sometimes a Secure Note get emptied. This happened once when I was editing the note, but unable to save (maybe due to connection problems). I tried to save the note several times, got an error every time. When I quit editing mode without saving, all the note's content had disappeared.
Since item history is not available in the Android app, there was no way to recover the contents of the note in the app. I had to log in to 1Password on a computer. From the item history it seemed like I had deleted all the contents of the note and then saved it (I did neither of this).
A couple of days later, another family member wanted to open the same note (long after I had recovered it and some problem-free edits later). It was empty when they opened it. They did not try to edit the note. I recovered the contents again from item history, and again it seemed like this family member had saved a new and empty version of the note, but the note was empty when they opened it.
I try to include all relevant details and hope it will help you figure out the problem. I am confident it did not happen due to an user error. It is a note in a vault shared by two family members. It contains a simple list of about 20 to 30 lines. I have only had the problem when viewing/editing this particular note in the Android app (but I have not edited noted extensively in the app either). I did not look at app log when it happened; I will if it happens again.
I was planning to buy a family subscription for my family, but this makes me worry that password entries could get emptied in the same fashion. I am able to use the item history to revert to the previous version (although it is a major inconvenience without this feature in the Android app), but other family members will not.

I had assumed the question would warrant a reply. Do you know of the issue? Do you plan to fix it? As I have said, it makes me reluctant about signing up for a family account.
Or do I need to file a bug report elsewhere to get a proper reply? If so, where?
Hi @regn. Thanks for reaching out about this.
So far, I've not been able to reproduce this behavior on my end. Do you happen to know if anyone else with access to the item may have edited it as well? Also, when you viewed the item's history, did it show that anyone else edited it, or just you?
Thanks for replying, @peri! Since then, the Secure Note has been emptied two times. The first time the debug log was wiped, but this time I have one.
Today at 15:55 I opened the Secure Note in the Android app, edited one line and added another, then hit save. The app displayed a green checkmark and 'Saved'.
I immediately noticed the note was unchanged. I opened it again, edited one line and hit save. This time I got an error; the note couldn't be saved.
At this point I generated a 1Password Report, which I will quote from below.
Nobody else edited the Secure Note in the meantime (as the logs confirm).

So where does that leave us? I am looking forward to your reply!
Thanks for the info, @regn! Our development team is investigating this at the moment. From your description, I think I have a clear idea of the issue, but I just want to ask a couple of follow up questions to clarify a couple things.
First, would you say this is a long Secure Note? How long would you say it is? Does this happen when there's a single line of text or is it a rather long one?
Second, do you switch away from 1Password to another app and back to 1Password while editing the note? For instance, are you leaving to another app to copy text to place in the note. Or are you staying entirely in the 1Password app, editing, and saving, without ever switching away?
The Secure Note is just a list of about 40 or 50 items (one item per line). There are no long lines. I (or the family member) regularly add, remove or change one or more lines of items.
I am sure it has occurred that I switch to another app (or that the device gets locked) while editing the note. However, at least last time it was wiped, I simply pressed edit, edited a couple of lines, and then pressed save.
I hope you will figure it out! If you do, I will be curious to hear what caused the issue.
Thanks @regn! I've asked @saad to look into this. We'll get back to you if we have more questions!


Here's a guide on how I decorated it.
First off, my tree is not flocked. I wanted to flock it this year, but got overly excited to start decorating it and didn't want to waste more time :) So, to add a little 'frost', I sprayed some Sno Blow onto the tips. I also added about 4 frosted garlands throughout the tree. I found these at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago.
I then added burlap criss-crossing down the tree in three spots. I placed this frosted mesh garland on top of the burlap. Both the burlap and mesh are found at Hobby Lobby.
I placed two of these reindeer onto the tree, one bigger than the other.
I placed three grapevine wreaths throughout the tree. These wreaths are about 12" in diameter.
Next was the super fun part. I decided to put all my old olive buckets to use. I hung three of them on the tree then filled them up with pinecones and faux wood. The olive buckets are actually from three different places: Amazon, Gordmans, and Hobby Lobby.
I found these huge frosted pinecones and added them to the tree.
I then added four frosted branches throughout. These branches were from Michaels a few years ago, although you can find similar ones at Hobby Lobby.
I also added the faux wood sticks throughout the tree.
For the top, I placed a wood star that I found at Target two years ago. I also have these cute frosted snowflakes I found at a local store years ago and added them throughout along with frosted white balls.
Until Christmas presents fill up the bottom, I have pillows, a basket full of blankets and cute little trees to take up space.
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing the rest of this room along with the other trees and rooms in my house.
Serious question now, when do you start decorating for Christmas? The way that I see it, my pumpkins go up September and down at the end of October. That's two full months. If I kept them up until November, that would be three! Then Christmas would only get about 1 month. That's not fair in my book. I spend so much more time on Christmas decor than anything. I think it's only reasonable to put it up the beginning of November :) Totally justified, right?
Your Christmas tree is absolutely gorgeous! I have always been a lover of neutral colored Christmas decorations, they seem so wintry and cozy to me. Your artistry shines in the decorations you chose, their placement on the tree and the way you wrapped that beautiful ribbon in and around the tree. I've never been able to accomplish that element, yours is perfect! Thank you for sharing.
p.s.My younger sister hosts our family Thanksgiving every year. She has a quite large and beautiful home and when we arrive on Thanksgiving morning, that home is fully decorated for Christmas, including a tree on each of the three levels. She's often said she decorates early for herself, she says it puts her in a holiday "frame of mind" as she prepares food and home to receive our family on Thanksgiving Day.

NFL roster-cut tracker 2017: Which players are released by deadline?
NFL roster-cut tracker 2017: Which players have been released?
Saturday marked the NFL's deadline for teams to cut their rosters down to 53.
The deadline for teams to cut their active rosters to 53 players was Saturday afternoon, and the final releases are now complete.
USA TODAY Sports listed each team's cuts below and highlighted the notable players to be released.
Jonathan Williams, RB, Buffalo Bills: He had 121 yards rushing and a touchdown this preseason and was projected to be LeSean McCoy's primary backup.
Jeremy Langford, RB, Chicago Bears: A year ago, he appeared likely to replace Matt Forte. But the Bears waived Langford on Sunday.
Matt Jones, RB, Washington Redskins: Jones began 2016 as the Redskins' starter but fell out of favor with coach Jay Gruden. The Colts claimed him off waivers Sunday.
T.J. Ward, S, Denver Broncos: The three-time Pro Bowl selection wasn't on the market long, scooped up by the Buccaneers less than a day after his release in Denver.
Brock Osweiler, QB, Cleveland Browns: Osweiler didn't have to wait long for his next landing spot, as he agreed to a deal to rejoin the Broncos late Saturday. Hue Jackson and Co. will have to eat most of the $16 million guaranteed Osweiler was owed for 2017, but they'll still have a 2018 second-round pick from the Texans for their trouble.
Trevone Boykin, QB, Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks' backup situation could be one to watch, as Boykin lost his roster spot and Austin Davis was retained.
Kellen Moore, QB, Dallas Cowboys: Moore had been Dak Prescott's backup, but he struggled in preseason.
Alex Boone, G, Minnesota Vikings: Minnesota's reshuffling of its offensive line continues as Boone, who started 14 games last year, is cut loose.
Ahtyba Rubin, DT, Seattle Seahawks: Rubin was a starter for the Seahawks for the last two years but became expendable after the team acquired Sheldon Richardson.
Jeremy Kerley, WR, San Francsico 49ers: The new regime in San Francisco gave up on Kerley despite re-signing him to a three-year deal this offseason.
Mike Nugent, K, New York Giants: The veteran's release means Aldrick Rosas has won the kicker job.
Roberto Aguayo, K, Chicago Bears: The former second-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't beat out Connor Barth for a starting role and will have to look for a new gig.
Victor Cruz, WR, Chicago Bears: With Kendall Wright likely claiming a job in the slot, Cruz became expendable in Chicago.
Chris Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals: The former 2,000-yard rusher is set to turn 32 next month. Kerwynn Williams should serve as David Johnson's backup.
Brandon Weeden, QB, Houston Texans: With Tom Savage the starter and first-round pick Deshaun Watson the backup, Houston will keep just two QBs to start the year.
Matt Barkley, QB, San Francisco 49ers: Barkley was signed this offseason to be a potential backup to starter Brian Hoyer. That gig now goes to C.J. Beathard, a third-round rookie out of Iowa.
Will Tye, TE, New York Giants: Tye started 10 games last year and had 48 catches, but first-round pick Evan Engram is set to take over.
Eric Winston, OT, Cincinnati Bengals: Winston is an 11-year veteran president of the NFL Players' Association.
T.J. Clemmings, OT, Minnesota Vikings: Clemmings struggled last season after being forced into action at left tackle. He started 30 games in the last two seasons but no linger fit in the team's plans after Minnesota brought in Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers at tackle.
Will Blackmon, S, Washington Redskins: Blackmon started six games for the Redskins last year. The team signed D.J. Swearinger in the offseason and moved Su'a Cravens to safety full-time.
San Francisco 49ers: QB Matt Barkley, C Tim Barnes, TE Blake Bell, RB Kapri Bibbs, LB Austin Calitro, WR DeAndre Carter, CB Prince Charles Iworah, CB Will Davis, DT Quinton Dial, DL Leger Douzable, OL J.P. Flynn, OL Andrew Gardner, RB Tim Hightower, OL Cody Hikutini, CB Asa Jackson, DL Chris Jones, WR Jeremy Kerley, OL Andrew Lauderdale, DL Sen'Derrick Marks, FB Tyler McCloskey, QB Nick Mullens, WR Louis Murphy, DL Noble Nwachukwu, CB Will Redmond, WR Tim Patrick, OL Norman Price, K Nick Rose, LB Shayne Skov, DeAndre Smelter, S Vinnie Sunseri, OL Darrell Williams Jr.

•Study and work abroad and gain hands-on experience of the education environment.
•Gain understanding of the language, culture and economic context of your two target countries.
This degree enables you to become proficient in the French language and to gain excellent understanding of the French culture, society and economic context. You will study a second foreign language, with German and Spanish offered from any starting point and Italian from beginner's level.
Modules on the degree will focus on areas such as linguistics, second language acquisition, classroom management strategies and teaching techniques. You will have ample opportunity to work alongside foreign speakers of English, including through teaching practice.
You will have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career.

The stats above mainly cover teaching degrees for training and qualifying in primary school education. These tend to be three or four-year courses — check with course tutors about how long you will need to study to get your Qualified Teacher Status. Most graduates go into teaching roles — usually primary school teaching, so these courses have good employment rates and starting salaries. We have a shortage of teachers of all kinds, which is deepening, and whilst many of the most severe are at secondary level, the prospects for this degree are not likely to take a downturn any time soon.

Q: ntheorem and LyX (with amsmath) Recently, I tried to use the ntheorem package with LyX and amsmath, but when compiling (pdflatex format) it complains:
"! Package ntheorem Error: Theorem style plain already defined."
When exporting the .lyx file to "latex simple" format, I see that LyX loads amsthm automatically, obviously that is the conflict (If I delete the "offending" load, it runs ok).
Does anyone know any workaround? (different from "don't use LyX!", because I find it comfortable, writing a lot of mathematics, not seeing as many "$", etc.)

The Raytown Main Street Association, with members on the Rock Island Corridor Coalition, is identifying the potential held within the Rock Island Railroad corridor through Raytown, hoping for the day it will connect with the statewide KATY Trail system. This video is a "before and after" visualization of Rock Island trail development within Raytown's city limits progressing from southeast to northwest. The tour will take you from Wildwood Lakes on the south, to 59th Street on the north spanning approximately one and a half miles of trail within Raytown's boundaries.
The 46 mile connector section of trail between the KATY at Windsor, Missouri and the City of Pleasant Hill, Missouri is currently under the control and development by the State of Missouri.
The development of the Rock Island corridor connection through the communities of Pleasant Hill, Greenwood, Lee's Summit, Raytown and Kansas City is set to provide the same economic benefit as well as establish a convenient, healthy, inter-city transportation alternative for thousands of users annually.
