Some reality shows get it right: They offer honest portrayals of the intricate bonds that connect all relationships. Few mother/daughter duos embody beautiful flaws like the stars of OWN's new reality series Beverly's Full House, supermodel Beverly Johnson and her daughter, plus-size model Anansa Sims-Patterson. JET asked the ladies, whose show airs Saturdays, 10 p.m. ET, to go toe-to-toe answering the same tough questions— separately— about their relationship. The bicker-prone catwalk queens' strides are more in sync than you'd think.
JET: What mother/ daughter moment do you recall most fondly?
Beverly: The first moment I laid eyes on her. It was an overwhelming feeling of bliss and joy.
Anansa: My mom being in the delivery room with me. I'm kind of weird about needles. Having my mom there and hearing her voice was comforting.

Reconsidering Japan's Denial of Dual Citizenship
by Ji Soo Kim
An anonymous writer on the internet started her sentence with, "I am a Japanese mom and sold my son to France today." The writer's family has been living in France for 20 years, and she made her son acquire French citizenship so that he could take state examination and receive state scholarship.
The writer said "people back home think we are no longer good patriots. But they cannot imagine how much we miss our home. The patriotism grows bigger when we live abroad." Making a big choice, the mother wished Japan's allowance of dual citizenship. She was scared that losing Japanese citizenship would have a negative effect on her son's Japanese identity.
Having dual citizenship means that two countries recognize you as their citizen. Currently, Japan does not allow dual citizenship. Citizens of dual citizenship must choose one or the other before turning age 22. Japan is not an ethnically diverse country and Japanese government fears chaos the interferences of foreign human resources will bring. Allowance of dual citizenship will make many citizens to lose their patriotic heart toward Japan. Additionally, there are people who misuse and abuse dual citizenship to avoid certain laws or to request special admissions.
The reasons to not allow dual citizenship are reasonable. However, on the other side, global human resources and patriots will be lost due to inevitability of making a choice such as the case mentioned above. Japan in a need for further globalization could be helped by the globally raised children. As the Japanese child in France chose French citizenship, he will not come back to Japan and work for Japan; rather he will work for France. In these cases, Japan is not only losing a globalized future workforce, but also a citizen who could show nationalism. The possibility for this family to come back to Japan and live decreased, and there are many other families in the same situation.
Current Japan believes that there are more cons to pros in allowing dual citizenship. But is this true? Isn't Japan losing other important things? Looking case by case, it is beneficial not only for the individual but for the nation to give some individuals dual citizenship. As the world is becoming smaller and a country can no longer stay as a pure nationalistic country, Shouldn't Japan consider a way to benefit both the individual and the nation within the control of dual citizenship?

Reblogged this on Anything in Random, by MSP and commented:
To be honest, I think Japan should allow multiple citizenship in general, but they should implement the "permission required" policy (German-speaking countries has this policy).
Well yes, I am speaking out for those foreigners who wish to naturalize as Japanese citizens (those who truly consider Japan as their second home) but are still willing to retain the citizenship they're born with.
As a non-Japanese myself, I think multiple citizenship has many benefits (access without visa, voting), but watch out for the downsides (e.g., taxes, conscription). Also, being a Japanese citizen is a privilege because they could access to 170+ countries without a visa at all. It means that there are some people who are willing to naturalize as Japanese citizens just to have visa-free access to these countries (EU, USA, AUS).

Q: Prevent account owner from accessing EC2 and Redshift One of our customers wants us to process their data in their own AWS account. They will create an AWS id for us and we will create an environment in their account.
We are concerned that they will have access to our code, intermediate
calculations, database schema etc and our intellectual property (IP) may not be protected.
Our environment consists of a Redshift cluster and EC2 machines running python code. Data is stored in S3.
Are there any steps we can take to prevent the customer from accessing
our environment even when they own the account?
Encryption will not help because the encryption keys are stored in
the account itself, which the account owner can access.
Code obfuscation is another not so good option.
Thanks!

Here is my recipe for moist coconut cake with a twist of rhubarb flavoured white chocolate! I love coconut milk recipes but not dessicated coconut, in anything at all. So, I thought of trying out a cake recipe using coconut milk. But I wanted to experiment a bit too... Well, I had this container of rhubarb flavour white hot chocolate that I occassionally drink when I'm out of my more prefered milk or dark chocolate drinks. I thought, "how about combining it with the coconut cake batter?"
And there you go :D A coconut cake recipe with rhubarb flavoured white chocolate!
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/gas mark 4. Grease a cake tin and dust with flour. You can also line the base with baking parchment if you want.
In a large bowl, beat the oil, sugar and coconut milk until light and fluffy. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. If you wish you can add lesser coconut milk if you want... It keeps the cake very moist.You can also substitute the olive oil for butter if you don't like the distinct smell the olive oil gives to food.
Now, fold the flour and baking powder together into the oil, sugar and coconut milk mixture, then pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 25 minutes until a knife comes out clean when stabbed in the centre. One tip to keep the cake moist is to add a baking tray with cold water in it at the botton of the oven while baking the cake.


There is currently another proposed retail development coming before the City Council on January 3, and may have been overlooked by many, both in the immediate neighborhood and throughout the rest of the city.
The area of consideration would be the corner of Old Kentucky Road and East 10th Street. In order for this proposed development to proceed, the area must have the City Council's approval to rezone the surrounding neighborhoods of Bilbrey Park and Darwin Park from single family residential to a planned Commercial Development.
If the rezoning is approved by the Council on Jan. 3rd, this project will move forward anchored by a full service grocery store, gasoline station and a surrounding mix of retail shops and fast food restaurants.
As a resident of the Village Green sub-division for the last 12 years, I am not opposed to commercial development if proper diligence and efforts are made to assemble a good mixed/use shopping and business center. This development seems woefully short on planning that is both diligent, safe and demonstrates effort in providing a mix of shops that would add to the needs of the neighborhood and Cookeville's eastside.
A few facts should make my point clearer, from a safety standpoint the proposed section of East 10th carries nearly 20,000 cars a day and has a Level of Service rating of F (Failing) as the City of Cookeville Major Street Plan (10/20/2017) states "and operations will likely continue to degrade if demand increases at the current rate." This was calculated and written a year before this current development was even proposed.
As to the need/want of another grocery store and gasoline station, I have driven the area and within a 2.5 mile circle of the targeted ground there are 3 full service grocery stores, 13 convenience grocery locations and a combined total of 78 gas pumps. This city needs many things, but definitely not just another grocery/gas retail strip mall on one of the already busiest and most dangerous intersections in the city!
The numbers speak for themselves, this proposal is dangerous, wastefully redundant and unworthy of the quality of the ground and surrounding neighborhoods!

Q: Words per line in file in C I want to count the numbers of words per line in a file using this function, @params line_number is the number of lines that the files contains.
When I try to parse this file :
world hello
hello world
hello hello

world salut

I get these results for the vector
vector[0] = 2
vector[1] = 2
vector[2] = 2
vector[3] = 1
vector[4] = 2

What is wrong with my code ? How can I stop getting 1 instead of 0 where there are no words on a line ?
int * get_vtor(FILE *file, int line_number)
{
  int *vtor = malloc(line_number*sizeof(int)), max, j, k, u;
  char a_file_line[TAILLE_MAX_LINE]; // TAILLE_MAX_LINE is #define earlier to 100
  j = k = u = max = 0;
  rewind(file);

   while((fgets(a_file_line, TAILLE_MAX_LINE ,file)) != NULL)
   {
    char * current = strtok(a_file_line," ");
    while(current != NULL)
    {
    u++;
    current = strtok(NULL, " ");
    }

    *(vtor+j) = u;
    u = 0; j++;
    memset(a_file_line, 0 , sizeof(a_file_line));
   }

   return vtor;
}

A: Are you sure the line is really empty and doesn't have a newline character in it?  When I tested strtok locally, it never returns an empty string.  fgets doesn't strip the trailing newline from the string, though, so your code counts it as "one word."
You can fix this by changing your deliminter string in the strtok call to " \n" instead of " ".
Minor style note:  I don't know who teaches this syntax, but it's unnecessarily hard to read:
*(vtor+j) = u;

You can write that more clearly as:
vtor[j] = u;

A: First guess, because you're reading standard input
basically every line is ended with 'new line' character
more detail solutions can be found here:
Reading c file line by line using fgetc()

A: because you are using 'strtok', it always returns the whole string if there is no token in the first hit. so for the empty line you get '\n'.
just filter it and you will get the correct result.
while(current != NULL && *current != '\n')

A: Remove the newline after fgets:
while((fgets(a_file_line, 100 ,file)) != NULL)
   {
    a_file_line[strlen(a_file_line) - 1] = 0;

It counts newlines as words because when you split a non-empty string, it will always have one token even if there is no delimiter.

Many people, particularly the start-ups as well as the entrepreneurs that are brand-new to the online organisation globe focus as well a lot on the looks of the design to think about whether it works sufficient to really make a sale.
You could spend a whole lot of money to employ the finest internet designers and designers, and they might even provide a fantastic looking site to you, yet if you need to think of the sales process within the website, your financial investment will just cost you money without a return. This is why you need to purchase Click Funnels. A web site developed via that service is laser-focused to deliver great advertising as well as sales impacts from the beginning to the end. Complying with are the 4 important things that a well selected as well as positioned sales funnels do.
Bring in brand-new site visitors to the site is the very first as well as one of one of the most crucial jobs that a sales funnel does. This is the mouth of the funnel.

The conversion procedure is when a plain site visitor becomes a possible consumer, which is a lead. This phase is narrower and in the following step of the funnel as well as ought to be well preserved considering that they are likely to earn a purchase in the following couple of stages as long as you keep them amazed.
Closing is the last of a channel where a lead ends up being a client. They proactively make the order and also acquire your item, sign up for your e-newsletter or basically do what you meant them to do by producing the funnel. Next degree is consumer retention or keeping them happy with your item or the acquisition, so they come to be return consumers.

Dogecoin Spikes more than 20% after the Announcement made by Elon Musk
By William Sheldon on December 16, 2021
Dogecoin skyrocketed as much as 23% on Tuesday after Elon Musk said Tesla would accept as payment for some of its merchandise. It last traded 18.9% higher.
Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla will make some merch buyable with Doge & see how it goes. Musk has frequently talked up Dogecoin, calling it his favorite digital coin. Dogecoin was initially started as a joke by its creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, in 2013. It takes its branding from the Japanese Shiba Inu dog, which inspired the original "doge" meme.
Tweets from Musk and surging interest from a wave of amateur investors fueled a speculative frenzy in the cryptocurrency earlier this year, driving its price higher. Dogecoin went from being worth just a fraction of a penny at the start of the year to notching a record-high price above 74 cents in May.
The meme inspired cryptocurrency plummeted sharply — at just 20 cents a coin, the token is down more than 70% from its all-time high.Dogecoin recently found a rival in shiba inu, a so-called meme token that bills itself as a killer." Shiba inu is currently the 13th-biggest coin by market value, having briefly surpassed at one point.

Manila (2 August) -- As part of its continuous efforts to standardize guidelines that govern the conduct of its numerous ICT training activities, the iSchools Training Component will release a User's Manual to aid public high school teachers to conduct an orderly and systematic ICT Literacy training.
Drafting the manual was an off-shoot of workshop outputs of participants to the ICT Literacy Conference for Teachers held at the Crown Royale Hotel in the City of Balanga, Bataan last July 2 to 5, 2010. Bataan Peninsula State University, a staunch State University and College (SUC) partner of the iSchools Project, hosted the activity.
There were at least 218 participants coming from a mixture of partner SUC and public high schools, who gathered to contribute various inputs on how to help teachers create and discuss lessons on the basics of computer and internet operations using stable Free and Open Source Software.
Various lessons on specific computer operations and applications were categorized according to their difficulty. The basic, intermediate and advanced distinctions would help trainers identify which lessons best fit the different needs and abilities of their learners.
These are just some of the major parts of the manual that will be released next month in time for the rollout of ICT Literacy Training for Teachers of public high schools.
Once completed the User's Manual on ICT Literacy will be used to train roughly 6,400 teachers from the 320 recipient schools nationwide.
After the conference, some participants who possess skills in technical writing were requested to stay for two more days to get involved in a write shop organized by the iSchools Project. These participants were tasked to polish the workshop outputs produced by their fellow participants. These writers were actually recipients of numerous basic and advanced online and offline content management training conducted by the Content Development Unit of the iSchools Project.
They were Gilbert Andaluz of the South Luzon State University, Theda Flare Quilala of the Tarlac State University, Adette Lelina of the Eastern Visayas State University and Mayci Rodriguez of the Western Mindanao State University.
They were joined by some iSchool staff such as Bambi Torrecampo, CP Calma and Joed Alcid who took part in the write-up and editing stages of the User's Manual.
An innovation in this year's Manuals was that the learning activities were designed to recreate actual tasks done by teachers, such as creating class records, enrollment reports and even lecture presentations. This improvement was founded on iSchools' thrust of bridging the digital divide by employing ICT in education.
"Hopefully this effort," shares iSchools Project Manager Toni Torres, "will allow teachers to appreciate the convenience ICT brings to their daily functions as educators and classroom administrators."
The iSchools Project is one of the flagship projects of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) under the ICT4BE Program. Recognized at the 2009 Philippine Government ICT Awards and the 3rd Government Technology Awards in Bali, Indonesia, the project aims to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, by providing training modules and increasing ICT access in public high schools. This makes it the most comprehensive ICT-for-education initiative of its kind in the Philippines. Now on its 4th year of implementation, the iSchools Project would have provided these services to 1,000 public high schools nationwide.


Bonhams, one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art antiques, has utilised the power of Axis cameras to bring live video feed to its worldwide ''LiveBid'' bidding application.
The indoor surveillance system installed at the world-famous auction house incorporates AXIS P5534 PTZ Dome Network cameras that have been introduced to its existing LiveBid bidding application to provide a live sound and video feed meaning that bidders could not only hear the auctioneer but actually see them.
"All our cameras provide Bonham's with the benefits of remote access via the internet and excellent HDTV-quality images"
The initial proof of concept was trialed for six months before it was rolled out and uses AXIS P5534 Network Cameras specified and provided after close collaboration between Axis and Axis partner, Azlan, the Enterprise Division of Tech Data Corporation.
Atul Rajput, regional director, Northern Europe, Axis Communications concluded: "This is a great example of the convergence away from analogue CCTV to digital IP surveillance. It is capable of so much more than traditional security, enabling applications that optimise business processes, built upon an open standards platform that offers opportunities for IT integrators to offer bespoke development.
The AXIS P5534 PTZ Dome Network Camera offers HDTV-quality video and an 18x zoom for indoor surveillance applications. With an IP51-rated protection against dust it is ideal for use in demanding environments including warehouses and shops, so was the perfect model for Bonhams' auction rooms. Day and night functionality also ensures high image quality in low light conditions.

Inkwell Success Stories
Six Figure Deal for Freedom's Child
I was convinced long before I heard about The Inkwell Group that I'd just written a bestseller. I suppose this wild confidence comes to many writers after they type the much anticipated words 'The End' after years of hard work and mental anguish…perhaps this was just me. But the confidence…
I was convinced long before I heard about The Inkwell Group that I'd just written a bestseller. I suppose this wild confidence comes to many writers after they type the much anticipated words 'The End' after years of hard work and mental anguish…perhaps this was just me. But the confidence would soon subside and reality came to rear its ugly head, mainly in the form of the innumerable rejection letters that came through the mail.
From the get-go I was very wary about reaching out to a publishing consulting agency and was quick to learn of the inviting scams and cons, appealing with promises of making your book the next bestseller for a price. However, it is biological truth that New Yorkers are structurally more immune to such prospect. In fact, I was so suspicious, that I almost missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime…
I knew I had a story with potential…thing was, nobody else did. After joining Facebook's 'Irish Crime Fiction' page soon after moving to this country, someone referred me to Inkwell. Enter Vanessa O'Loughlin.
Last October, she introduced me to Editor Alison Walsh, a woman sure to knock a person off their literary high horse with eye-opening revelations about what needs to be done in their writing, and I say this with all the love in the world. She wasn't like many of the editors I had met; you know the kind, the self-righteous ones that speak because they like the sound of their own voice. And while I soon learned that it's an editor's job to crush your work and find all the faults, I never imagined that it would make my work that much better. I learned a valuable lesson from Alison: always strive for better than what you have. This was a concept I'd never fully understand, always a tongue-in-cheek phrase beforehand, until she critiqued my work.
Then came the painstaking next draft of my novel, 'The Assassin's Keeper.':
Months later, Vanessa introduced me to Helen Falconer, who I endearingly refer to as Saint Helen. And after a good six hours and about a hundred cups of coffee, we buzzed over this next draft of my book. She saw things I never did in the book; the denial of a writer who is WAY too close to their work that they can't for the life of them see what the readers see. Helen showed me where I tied myself in knots, where the holes were, where the reader didn't understand when I wrote with the assumption that everyone knew this book the way I did… Not only was she a great editor for me, but I am glad to call her my friend, a person who understands the tedium of this work, this long and lonely road that too many assume is easy.
I was so happy with the results, that it was only days later that I sent her a second novel I'm currently working on, 'The Children of Freedom.' And I must say, her suggestions and edits are taking this book to places I never even dreamed of…and I've never been more excited in writing. Never.
Since then, I've been nominated of the Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Debut Dagger award in London for 'The Assassin's Keeper' for best debut crime novel. Talk about screaming every swear word known to man with joy! I am meeting some of the best authors of the industry, being interviewed in the media for my work, making meetings with publishers of some of the world's leading publishing agencies…Me, the woman from New York who had nothing but the worn leather jacket on her back and five dollars, which I spent on a notebook and a pack of pens.
Finding the Inkwell Group was one of the greatest things to ever happen for my writing. Through the agency, and all the amazing people who work there, I am approaching doors I never knew existed. More importantly, I am growing as a writer…I'm growing into an author. I have all intentions of using them for my next draft and for every other reason I could possibly use them for in the future, and I will with full confidence that these guys know their stuff. I am thankful. I have no regrets. And I have no reason to lie to you.
No matter where you're at with your writing, get connected to The Inkwell Group. I can't vouch for them enough.
Late on a Tuesday night Aine finished her novel and hit send. It arrived in Vanessa O'Loughlin's inbox and she didn't have to read much to know it was something very special. Just back from meetings in London, Vanessa knew an agent who was looking for a brilliant crime novel and sent it straight over. Simon Trewin of WME started reading it immediately, and as Aine says, 'I finished my novel on Tuesday, Simon read it on Wednesday, signed me on Thursday and sent it to Kate Elton on Friday. The deal was finalised overnight on Monday and I hope I don't wake up tomorrow and find it was all a dream'.
Aine O Domhnaill is now Jax Miller. And the book is Freedom's Child.
FREEDOM'S CHILD is a heart-stopping thriller centred around Freedom, who has spent the last eighteen years under Witness Protection after being exonerated for her husband's murder. When the daughter she gave birth to in prison (and consequently had to give up for adoption) goes missing, Freedom slips her handlers determined to rescue her child. No longer under the protection of the US Marshalls, she is targeted and tracked by her husband's psychotic brothers – who will stop at nothing in their quest for vengeance against the woman who killed their brother…
Kate Elton, Director at HarperFiction said: 'I couldn't have been more astonished when I discovered that this incredibly accomplished, meaty thriller was a debut novel by a twenty-eight year old. Freedom is one of those characters you just fall in love with. Wherever her journey takes her, you want to follow – and Freedom never loses her incredible resolve and determination to save the daughter she only knew for two minutes and seventeen seconds. I am hugely thrilled to have acquired two novels by this amazing new talent for the HarperFiction list.'
Simon Trewin said: 'This manuscript came to me via editorial consultant Vanessa O'Loughlin at The Inkwell Group in Dublin and my Kindle almost caught fire with the speed I was clicking onto the next page. The international interest is immense – Freedom is a truly original character – just what the world needs.'

Q: My sugar maple trees have dark spots and curling leaves. What is wrong?
A: Sounds like Anthracnose disease. Keep the canopy clean of leaves and twigs as they fall to prevent the spread of fungal spores. In the winter when the buds start to swell, apply a systemic fungicide but, once the disease starts, it is hard to eradicate and could overtime kill the trees.


If you're looking to press a record button, make a sound, then distribute a URL where that sound lives, it doesn't get much easier than the free web app RecordMP3.org.
SoundCloud similarly includes a record button, as well as a waveform display, timestamped commenting, private sharing, embedding on blogs, and other stuff.
RecordMP3, on the other hand, strips the whole process down to enabling Macromedia Flash to use your microphone to record to the site (a preference you only need to set once), pressing record, then harvesting the resulting MP3 to your hard drive. The site hosts the files for you automatically, so you can share them anywhere.
RecordMP3 even shaves a couple of extra seconds off by letting you copy the URL with a single click, and including a Save As button below that. It doesn't get any easier than this.
Here's what it sounded like using a laptop at the default input setting.
Things sounded clearer using a headset mic.


It certainly isn't Les Murray, but it is a fascinating insight into the young Bolt's mindset ... it is unmistakenly written as an outsider railing against racism and the mob mentality.
Or is it? I'm not so sure. But I'll let readers be the judge.
And soon I was yelling with the rest.
... the notoriously leftwing Melbourne broadsheet.
And when I look at the IPA's website, I notice all these crazy leftwingers like Chris Berg and Julie Novak writing for both The Age and IPA Review. What a bunch of Commies!

Exploring the whimsical yet daring life of the circus, one of Fellini's most cherished themes, a metaphor for life itself with its mysteries and magic. It presents the whole drama of balance and captures the emotional turmoil and splendor of the spectacle through the acrobats' rapid movements where their lives were spent on the high-wire. The dangers were real and they did it not only for the sake of their art but also for their survival. The circus marks progress by circular movement, never in a straight line; as each self-contained act comes to a climax and a close. Life is affirmed, control is maintained, and art triumphs.

AMA Report Stirs LED Lighting Controversy
Emissive Displays Rise and Fall ñ and Rise Again
By Qun (Frank) Yan
Frontline Technology: Quantum-Dot and Quantum-Rod Displays — the Next Big Wave
Photoluminescent and electroluminescent quantum dots and quantum rods are the subject of rapidly expanding research efforts. These materials possess performance benefits ñ particularly in the areas of luminescence and color ñ that the authors believe will reshape the display industry as we know it.

Frontline Technology: Micro-LED Technologies and Applications
LEDs offer extraordinary luminance, efficiency, and color quality, but to date are largely used in displays as backlights or packaged pixel elements in large-area LED billboard displays. Building high-performance emissive displays in a smaller form factor requires a new micro-LED technology separate from what is used for large LED billboards. Several approaches have been proposed to isolate micro-LED elements and integrate these micro-LEDs into active-matrix arrays. Technologies that use micro-LEDs offer the potential for significantly increased luminance and efficiency, unlocking new possibilities in high dynamic range, augmented/mixed reality, projection, and non-display light-engine applications.

Frontline Technology: Next-Generation Metrology Facilitates Next-Generation Displays
Impressive advances in production technology have created high-density displays operating over wide color gamuts, but what is built must be tested, and improved production requires improved metrology. Color presents a particularly challenging metrology problem because even high-quality color cameras are not traceable to spectral standards. Spectrometers provide accurate color information but without the spatial resolution required to faithfully capture display color quality. As described in this article, the authorís team assembled an instrument that combines the strengths of both spectrometers and high-quality cameras to provide rapid and reliable metrology for color displays.

Orange, a popular citrus fruit, originated in China, but are now cultivated all over the world. They are relatively inexpensive and are an excellent source of vitamin C. These fruit are very delicious and health giving. But be careful with them, because they can cause food allergies and similar diseases in children.
One orange provides about 10 g of carbohydrate in the form of natural sugar. Oranges also contain some fibre and they have a high vitamin C content. All oranges are a good source of folate and carotene (vitamin A) with particularly high levels of carotene found in red blood oranges. Useful amounts of calcium and magnesium are present in both oranges and orange juice. Although oranges have a low iron content, the high vitamin C level helps the absorption of iron from other non-meat foods, especially eggs.

The Curse of Gold: Dimensions of Injustice in Gold-Mining Communities
Posted on October 11, 2011 by Amy Freitag
Protests at Esquel, one of the communities examined in the article. Thanks articles.riderdownload.com
Buried within the depths of Andean geology lie small seams of gold tempting worldwide investors. These money-lined pockets aid the development of new extraction methods that dissolve gold from the mountains using cyanide. Cyanide is a metabolic poison, shutting down cellular respiration. In the wake of cyanide leaching stand piles of rubble and contaminated rivers where forested mountains and their people once stood. Surprisingly, Andean residents are willing to entertain the possibility of gold mining by this poisonous method, but oppose current mine development on environmental justice measures. A recent study by Urkidi and Walter in the journal Geoforum documents the emergence of justice narratives from mining conflicts in the Andes and predicts impacts on future development planning.
Warren County PCB landfill today, southernstudies.org
"Environmental injustice" was first described in Warren County, North Carolina in 1982 when largely African-American, rural, poor residents organized to oppose a polychlorinated biphenyl landfill near their farms and homes. Dubbed at the time 'environmental racism', the movement grew to fight the distributional injustices of pollution. Distributional justice refers to the unequal social, economic, and environmental impacts of a practice throughout society and is now recognized as an important dimension of environmental justice.
Environmental justice resonated with other disadvantaged communities who felt they were unfairly burdened with the environmental costs of modern society while financially incapable of acquiring the benefits. When the concept of environmental justice reached Latin America, it evolved through "articulation with a long tradition of human rights and social justice activism in the region". This articulation of environmental justice in a global context created two dimensions of environmental justice that are dominant in the Andean mining cases examined in the study: recognition and participation.
"Recognition [is] the personal dignity of all individuals…but most importantly the recognition of collective identities and their particular needs, concerns, and livelihoods" the authors write. Anti-mining groups examined in the study united religious, farming, and political sectors, each feeling the importance of water to local people had not been recognized by the mine permitting process. They exposed that the mining company and Andean government failed to include glaciers, which provide drinking water and crop irrigation, in the environmental impact statement (EIS). Local residents "saw mining and their material and cultural subsistence as incompatible" and these subsistence needs were not recognized in the permitting process.
Participation, also known as "procedural justice…refers to the fair and equitable institutional processes of a State". The permitting process included public meetings and a short comment period, but citizens were unsatisfied. They sued the government "for failing to respect their right of free and informed consent, for not considering the socioeconomic impact of the project on their traditional land-uses, and for not taking cultural impacts into account in the EIS assessment process". Decisions occurred at a national scale, above the political access of local citizens, making the participation in name only.
Only at the end of the struggle did distributional justice, the original component of environmental justice, play a key role in the anti-mining movement. The fact that mining companies were based in Canada and the United States meant mining profits did not benefit local citizens, who would instead be left with piles of rubble and polluted streams. In one of the cases, this inequality translated into demands for nationalized mining to ensure benefits remain in the hands of the people who pay the environmental costs.
The authors conclude that three-dimensional environmental justice of fair distribution, recognition, and participation "no longer puts the focus on GDP growth, but switches the attention towards local definitions of wellbeing, where environmental, social, and economic needs are integrated". Such a focus introduces the possibility of global and local sustainability.

Marketing: Pay-for-Performance Trade Promotions Can Ease Friction Between Manufacturers and Retailers
Durk Jager, former head of Procter & Gamble's U.S. operations, recently characterized the existing trade promotion system between manufacturers and retailers as "impossibly inefficient." Wharton marketing professor David Bell and Xavier Dreze from UCLA's Anderson School of Management, couldn't agree more. Their solution is a variation on a relatively new type of trade promotion known as "pay-for-performance."
Leadership and Change: If Affluenza Strikes, Take Naps and Stop Consuming
Choose one: a slight pay raise or a shorter work week. If you chose the former, you may be suffering from what authors John de Graaf, David Wann and Thomas Naylor call "affluenza," which is both the name of their new book and a reference to America's worship of economic expansion. As in more shopping malls, bigger homes and more bankruptcies, both monetary and spiritual. Affluenza, our reviewer says, is a riveting, terrifying and inspiring analysis of what ails contemporary America.

Customer relationship management, or CRM, is the buzzword du jour in business circles.

A new study by Wharton's Pension Research Council shows, however, that middle-income investors approaching retirement age may be missing a good bet if they overlook annuities.

Recommendation systems have become integral to personalizing and driving increased value for consumer technology products. Spotify's Discover Weekly, Netflix's homepage, and the "Customers who bought this item also bought" section of Amazon product pages are all examples of successful recommendation systems that continue to provide incremental revenue. I have built numerous recommendation systems for companies and seen first-hand the additional revenue that these systems provide.
I have built simple systems that recommend similar products or personalized recommendations for particular users. I have also worked on the state of the art in recommendation systems to realize their full potential. For example, it can be difficult to handle brand new customers or products (the so-called "cold start" problem), but it is possible to utilize extra information to maintain quality recommendations. Deep learning techniques can be particularly powerful for visual similarity recommendations.
Sometimes recommendation systems are used to influence human decision making in a "human-in-the-loop" process. In such scenarios, it is crucial to provide context about why a recommendation is relevant to a user. One sees this context on the Netflix homepage (e.g. "Because you movies with a strong female lead"), and I have worked extensively on these problems for private companies. Publicly, I have given talks on this topic, and it remains an active area of interest for me.

Q: Best way to find shortest path with loading very specific data from Google Spreadsheet Now begore you would judge me for FAQ my problem is not so easy as 'the best shortest path algorithm' (at least I think).
I have a Google Spreadsheet.
Every row begins with a town name and it's followed by the nr of roads that go through and by name of of those roads. Something like here bellow:
Ex. Spreadsheet / First sheet:
         A    |               B               |     C     |     D     |     E     |
 1  Town name | Number of roads you find here | road name | road name | road name |
 2  Manchester| 3                             |        M1 |        M2 |        M3 |
 3  Leeds     | 1                             |        M3 |           |           |
 4  Blackpool | 2                             |        M1 |        M2 |           |

Now this one Spreadsheet has many worksheets, each for every road name (in my case M1, M2, M3. M1 is the second worksheet since the first one has the content from above. M2 is the third etc)
 Ex. Spreadsheet / Second sheet:
       A      |    B      |        C       |      D       |      E     |      F     |
1   This road | Town name | Distance in km | type of road | other road | other road |
2      M1     | Manchester|       0        |      M2      |     M3     |            |
3      M1     | Blackpool |      25        |      M2      |            |            |

Third sheet is similar, next sheets similar structure. One town can be containd in many sheets depending on how many roads link to it. You can see it from the above example.
The Spreadsheet is not made by me. It's like this. It will not get any better.
I have no problem pulling the data from the google spreadsheet in the program. Reading spreadsheet data with python is not the question here.

*

*What is the best way to write a programme in wxpython/python where a user inputs Starting Town and Finishing Town.

*The programme will read the spreadsheet and appropriate worksheets.

*Will find somehow the best path in this jungle of worksheets.

*It will additionally return the total distance from Starting Town to Finishing town even if the it has to go through maybe more then 2-3 worksheets to get there.

*Will return results to the users screen in a lovely form :)

I hope you find my problem challenging enough to deserve a questioning.
I beg you for help. Show me the way to go about this very specific problem.

A: What came of your previous attempt:
Way too slow wxPython application getting data from Google Spreadsheet and User input needs speed up solution
Did you find what was taking so long? What other issues did you encounter there?
I'm relatively new to stackoverflow but I've seen these style questions, that can be interpreted as "Could you write this code for me?", as being rejected pretty swiftly.
You might want to consider sharing some of the challenges from the above link and explaining a specific problem within the project.
UPDATED
1+5:
From the WX point of view, you'll want to keep the UI responsive whilst the search is going on. One way to do this is kick off the searching in a separate thread which calls wx.PostEvent once it has finished. Then in the main wx App you have an event handler which receives the event and processes it. In your case "shows the results on a lovely form".
See here for an example: http://wiki.wxpython.org/LongRunningTasks


On March 13, while on his way to the besieged Gaza Strip, two 33-pounds bombs targeted the convoy of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister, Rami Hamdallah. Hamdallah was visiting Gaza, through the Israeli border checkpoint, Erez, to open a large sewage treatment plant that, if allowed to operate regularly, will make life easier for hundreds of thousands of Gazans, who have endured a perpetual Israeli siege since 2006.
Although reconciliation efforts have, for years, been half-hearted at best, the latest round of talks between both groups led to a breakthrough in Cairo last October.
This time, Palestinians were told that the two factions are keen on establishing unity, ending the siege on Gaza and revamping the largely dormant Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) institutions. Hamas and the Islamic Jihad were to join the PLO at some point in the future, leading to the formulation of a unified Palestinian political program. And, perhaps, this keenness at ending the rift has led to the attempt on Hamdallah's life.
Hamdallah, 60, was chosen by Abbas to serve in the current post in June 2013, despite the fact that he was not a member of Fatah. He took over from Salaam Fayyad who served for six years, focusing mostly on state-building in a region that is still militarily occupied by a foreign power. Hamdallah, though not a particularity controversial figure, has been a follower of Abbas and committed to his agenda. He is a political moderate by Palestinian standards, and it was through his strong ties with powerful Fatah figures like Tayeb Abdul Rahim and Tawfik Tirawi – who served under late PA leader, Yasser Arafat, and Abbas respectively – that allowed him to claim the post and keep it for nearly five years.
Last October, Hamdallah led a delegation of Fatah PA officials to Gaza to "end the painful impacts of divisions and to rebuild Gaza brick by brick." Since Israel destroyed much of Gaza's infrastructure and thousands of homes in the summer of 2014, Gaza – already reeling under a hermetic siege and the impact of previous wars - has been in ruins. Hamdallah's visit rekindled hope among Gazans, and all Palestinians, that respite is on the way. Hamas' insistent attempts to break from its isolation seemed to be finally bearing fruit. Abbas' party, too, moved forward with the unity arrangements, although for its own reasons.
Fatah has been dysfunctional for years, and the imminent exit of Abbas, 83, has opened up intense rivalry among those who want to succeed the aging leader. Supporters of Mohammed Dahlan, who was shunned by Abbas years ago and is currently based abroad, would like to see him back in a position of power. The United States and Israel are following these developments closely. They, too, have favorites and are vested in the future of Fatah to sustain the current status quo as long as possible.
Those who want Hamdallah dead are likely not targeting the Prime Minister for his own ideas or policies per se, but for what he represents, as the moderate leader capable of achieving a long term understanding with Hamas. Killing Hamdallah also means ending or, at least, obstructing the unity efforts, discrediting Hamas, and denying Abbas and his leadership the necessary political capital to secure his legacy. Hamas' main enemy in Gaza are the Salafi Jihadist groups who are unhappy with Hamas' politics and what they see as a too moderate style of Islamic governance. Of course, there are those in Fatah, including Abbas' own office, who accused Hamas of trying to kill Hamdallah. Hamas did more than deny the accusations, but, within one day of the apparent assassination attempt, announced that it had apprehended suspects behind the explosion.
Hamas, in turn, accused the Israel intelligence of the assassination attempt. The group's spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, claimed that "same hands" that gunned down Mazen Fakha in March 2017 and Tawfiq Abu Naim in October are behind the attempt on Hamdallah's life. He was referring to Israel, of course. The timing of the bombing of Hamdallah's convoy was quite interesting as well, as it came barely a few hours after a meeting at the White House regarding Gaza. The meeting, chaired by leading pro-Israel officials in Washington, including Jared Kushner, was dubbed as a "brainstorming session" on how to solve the Gaza crisis.
One, however, should not undermine the seriousness of the remaining disagreements between Hamas and Fatah. Perhaps the main point of conflict is over Hamas' fighting force. Hamas refuses to compromise on the issue of armed resistance, and Abbas insists on the dismantling of Hamas' armed group, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades. But these disagreements are hardly strong enough reason to kill Hamdallah, the last hope for an end to the rift and easing the blockade on Gaza. Although Hamdallah survived, the bombing achieved some of its objectives. A senior PA official told AFP that "Abbas decided no members of Hamdallah's government would travel to Gaza in the short term 'due to the security problems.'" While this might not be the end of reconciliation, it could possibly be the beginning of the end.


A 51-year-old career criminal who's currently on parole has been charged with two of the four recent burglaries at Wrigleyville's Nuts On Clark, 3830 N. Clark Street.
Armando Vadillo was taken into custody about 40 minutes after the store's fourth burglary was reported at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Police said they found him at 3930 N. Clark, a senior housing complex that Vadillo lists as his home.
Officers searched the apartment listed as Vadillo's home on Friday afternoon, according to a source.
Vadillo has been sentenced to more than 47 years in prison for eight different burglary cases since 1996, according to state records. He was paroled on December 9 after serving half of a 7-year burglary sentence, according to state records.
He's due in bond court this afternoon.
Prior to yesterday's break-in, the flagship Nuts On Clark store was burglarized during overnight hours on March 29, April 6, and again on May 20.
