In most service companies where Open ERP has been integrated, service sheets, or timesheets, have revolutionized management practices. These service sheets are produced by each employee as they work on the different cases or projects that are running. Each of these is represented by an analytic account in the system.
Throughout the day, when employees work on one project or another, they add a line to the timesheets with details of the time used on each project. At the end of the day, each employee must mark all the time worked on client or internal projects to make up the full number of hours worked in the day. If an account isn't in the system then the time is added to the hours that haven't been assigned for the day.
The figure Timesheet for a working day gives an example of a timesheet for an employee.
The timesheet system isn't intended to be a disguised attendance form. There's no control over the service times and the employee is free to encode 8 or 9 hours or more of services each day if they want.
If you decide to put such a system into place, it's important to clarify this point with your staff. The objective here isn't to control hours, because the employees decide for themselves what they'll be entering – but to track the tasks running and the allocation of costs between them.
knowing the costs needed to run the company, such as the marketing costs, the training costs for a new employee, and the invoicing rates for a client.
The different timesheet categories (working time sessions) can be defined in the menu Human Resources ‣ Configuration ‣ Working Time Categories and select one of the groups there such as 38 Hours/Week.
In the analytic journal will be stored all the analytic entries about the costs of service times. These enable you to isolate the cost of service from other company costs such as the purchase of raw materials, expenses receipts and subcontracting. You can use different journals for each employee to separate costs by department or by function.
The employee is also associated with a product in your database in Open ERP. An employee is linked with a product so they can be 'bought' (subcontracting) or 'invoiced' (project management). You have to create a product for each job type in your company.
The module product_index lets you generate indexes connected to the change of purchase or sale price for individual products.
In human resources, this module can be used to change your prices or costs in step with a national index.
By default the hourly cost of an employee is given by the standard cost of the product linked to that employee. But if you install the hr_contract module it's possible to manage contracts differently. The hourly cost of the employee is then automatically calculated from their employment contract when they enter their timesheet data.
To do this, the software uses a factor defined in the contract type (for example, the gross monthly salary, calculated per day). Ideally this factor should take into account the salary costs, and the taxes, insurances and other overheads associated with pay.
To be able to use timesheets fully, install the module hr_timesheet_sheet. Once this module has been installed and the employees configured, the different system users can enter their timesheet data in the menu Human Resources ‣ Working Hours ‣ My Working Hours ‣ My Working Hours of The Day, the click New.
It's a good idea if all employees who use timesheets place this menu in their shortcuts. That's because they'll need to return to them several times each day.
The User : proposed by default, but you can change it if you're encoding the first timesheet for another company employee.
The Date : automatically proposed as today's date, but it's possible to change it if you're encoding the timesheet for a prior day.
Analytic Account : for the project you've been working on - obviously it should be predefined.
Description : a free text description of the work done in the time.
Quantity : number of units of time (the units are defined as part of the product).
The other fields are automatically completed but can be modified: the Product which is the service product such as consultancy, the Unit of Measure (predefined, and could perhaps be minutes, hours or days), the Cost of the service (which is calculated by default), and the associated General Account.
The hours are then encoded throughout the day by each employee. It helps to revisit the list at the end of the day to verify that the number of hours of attendance in the company has been properly accounted for. The total entered is shown at the bottom right of the list of service hours.
Printing the timesheets per month, using the menu Human Resources ‣ Reporting ‣ Timesheet ‣ Print my timesheet.
Reviewing all service entries using the menu Human Resources ‣ Timesheets ‣ My Timesheets ‣ My timesheets to confirm. You can then use the filters to analyze your services by project, by period or by product.
By default, Open ERP is configured to show the cost of each service when an employee encodes the number of hours per project. You can modify this field by adding the attribute invisible=True in the timesheet view.
The value in the cost field shows employees the cost of their time used in the company, so masking this field might not always be the best option.
Managers can draw on different reports for managing timesheets quite easily. You can print a summary in the form of a table per user and per day in the menu Human Resources ‣ Reporting ‣ Timesheet ‣ Employees timesheet. This helps you spot when an employee has forgotten to enter her timesheet details on a certain day.
The data making up these graphs can be varied using the filters available in the upper part of the screen. If you want to see more detail, switch to the list view.
The dashboard for managing projects has a graphical view that summarizes the current user's timesheet for the last seven days.
you can assign a dashboard to users so that it appears when they sign into Open ERP. Then each employee will be able to see if they forgot to complete their timesheet next time they sign into the system.
To use this dashboard, install the module board_project.
You already know that timesheets are closely linked with analytic accounts. The different projects reported on the timesheets correspond to analytic accounts. The timesheet entries themselves are analytic entries.
These entries comprise various analytic operations that don't correspond to any of the general accounts. Therefore all operations that modify and create timesheet lines automatically impact the corresponding analytic line and, conversely are automatically modified by changes in that line.
The implementation of timesheets in Open ERP relating to analytic entries is managed by an inheritance mechanism: the timesheet object inherits the analytic entry object.
The information is therefore not encoded into the database as two separate events, which avoids many synchronization problems. They are stored in two different tables, however, because a service is an analytical entry, but an analytical entry isn't necessarily a service.
This isn't a classical approach but it's logical and pragmatic. Employee timesheets are a good indication of how the costs of a service enterprise are spread across different cases as reported in the analytic accounts.
An analytic account should be reflected in the general accounts, but there's no direct counterpart of these analytic accounts in the general accounts. Instead, if the hourly costs of the employees are correctly accounted for, the month's timesheet entries should be balanced by the salary + benefits package paid out to all the employees at the end of the month.
salary variations and all the linked costs, such as social insurance charges.
The reports that enable you to relate general accounts to analytic accounts are valuable tools for improving your evaluation of different hourly costs of employees. The difference between product balances in the analytic account and in the general accounts, divided by the total number of hours worked, can then be applied to the cost of the product. Some companies adjust for that difference by carrying out another analytic operation at the end of the month in an account created for that purpose. This analytic account should have a balance that tends towards zero.
Controlling the costs and the profitability of projects precisely is very important.
It enables you to make good estimates and to track budgets allocated to different services and their projects, such as sales and, R&D costs. You can also refine your arguments on the basis of clear facts rather than guesses if you have to renegotiate a contract with a customer following a project slippage.
The analyses of profitability by project and by employee are available from the analytic accounts. They take all of the invoices into account, and also take into account the cost of the time spent on each project.
When they're used properly, timesheets can be a good control tool for project managers and can provide awareness of costs and times.
You'll see in Services Management that you can automatically invoice services at the end of the month based on the timesheet. But at the same time some contracts are limited to prepaid hours. These hours and their deduction from the original limit are also managed by these timesheets.
In such a situation, hours that aren't coded into the timesheets represent lost money for the company. So it's important to establish effective follow-up of the services timesheets and their encoding. To set up a structure for control using timesheets you should install the module hr_timesheet_sheet.
This module supplies a new screen enabling you to manage timesheets by period. Timesheet entries are made by employees each day. At the end of the week, employees validate their week's sheet and it's then passed to the services manager, who must approve his team's entries. Periods are defined in the company forms, and you can set them to run monthly or weekly.
To enter timesheet data each employee uses the menu Human Resources ‣ Timesheets ‣ My Timesheets ‣ My Current Timesheet.
In the upper part of the screen the user starts with the sign-in and sign-out times. The system enables the control of attendance day by day. The two buttons Sign in and Sign out enable the automatic completion of hours in the area to the left. These hours can be modified by employee, so it's not a true management control system.
The area to the bottom of the screen represents a sheet of the employee's time entries for the selected day. In total, this should comprise the number of hours worked in the company each day. This provides a simple verification that the whole day's attendance time has been coded in properly.
The second tab of the timesheet By day gives the number of hours worked on the different projects. When there's a gap between the attendance and the timesheet entries, you can use the second tab to detect the days or the entries that haven't been correctly coded in.
The third tab By account shows the time worked on all the different projects. That enables you to step back to see an overview of the time an employee has worked spread over different projects.
At the end of the week or the month, the employee confirms his timesheet. If the attendance time in the company corresponds to the encoded entries, the whole timesheet is then confirmed and sent to his department manager, who is then responsible for approving it or asking for corrections.
Each manager can then look at a list of his department's timesheets waiting for approval using the menu Human Resource ‣ Timesheets ‣ My Department's Timesheets ‣ Timesheets to validate. He then has to approve them or return them to their initial state.
To define the departmental structure, use the menu Administration ‣ Users ‣ Departments ‣ Departments.
At first sight, the approval of timesheets by a department manager can seem a bureaucratic hindrance. This operation is crucial for effective management, however. We have too frequently seen companies in the situation where managers are so overworked that they don't know what their employees are doing.
So this approval process supplies the manager with an outline of each employee's work at least once a week. And this is carried out for the hours worked on all the different projects.
Once the timesheets have been approved you can then use them for cost control and for invoicing hours to clients.
Contracts and their rates, planning, and methods of invoicing are the object of the following chapter, Services Management.

Q: AWS EMR: Zeppelin taking numpy version from python 2.7 instead of higher version I have python 2.7(default) and python 3.6 on my EMR (5.26.0) cluster and below is my bootstrap script. I am installing numpy version 1.18.5 and I can see that it is getting installed in the bootstrap logs. However in the python3 packages I see it is picking the numpy 1.14.5 which comes from Python 2.7. If you see the below screenshot I can see version 1.18.5 dist. files there in the python packages directory but the binary is for but the actual numpy version has files for 1.14.5.

I am using zeppelin notebook and changed my interpreters python and pyspark properties to use python 3 by setting below variables but
PYSPARK_PYTHON = '/usr/bin/python3'
PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON = '/usr/bin/python3'

Also when I do list packages I see it list 1.18.5 however numpy version command shows 1.14.5.
How can I force Python to pick higher version of numpy?

A: Finally got it working with emr-5.31.0 and below bootstrap configuration, 5.31+ defaults to Python 3 and numpy 1.16.5 even though python 2 is present in env. So I got the default higher version of numpy which solved my cross dependencies issue.

The vibraslap is a percussion instrument consisting of a piece of stiff wire (bent into a U-shape) connecting a wooden ball to a hollow box of wood with metal "teeth" inside. The percussionist holds the metal wire in one hand and strikes the ball (usually against the palm of their other hand). The box acts as a resonating body for a metal mechanism placed inside with a number of loosely fastened pins or rivets that vibrate and rattle against the box. The instrument is a modern version of the jawbone.

Invention
The vibraslap was the first patent granted to the instrument manufacturing company Latin Percussion.

The vibraslap was invented by Martin Cohen in 1967. Cohen was told by percussionist Bobby Rosengarden, "If you want to make some money, make a jawbone that doesn't break." About the inventing process, Cohen remembers, "I had never seen a jawbone before, but I had heard one on a Cal Tjader album. I found out that it was an animal skull that you would strike, and the sound would come from the teeth-rattling in the loose sockets. So I took that concept and invented the Vibraslap, which was my first patent."

Origins
The vibraslap descended from the African "jawbone". This is the lower jawbone of a donkey or a zebra which has loose teeth that rattle when the instrument is struck. The instrument was carried by enslaved people to South America where it became known as the Quijada.

Differing names
The vibraslap comes in a variety of sizes and materials and is sometimes marketed under the name "Donkey Call", "Donkey Rattle", "Chatterbox" or "Rattleslap."

Examples in well-known music

The vibraslap can be heard very clearly on the 1967 US No. 1 hit single "Green Tambourine" by The Lemon Pipers and is frequently and prominently used in the music of the alternative rock group Cake. It can be heard on a number of famous rock songs like "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne, "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, "Closer to the Heart," by Rush, "Orange Crush" by R.E.M., "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater,  "Feelin' Alright" by Joe Cocker and throughout the aptly titled "Donkey Jaw" by America. It can also be clearly heard near the beginning of "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Traffic, signalling the end of the prolonged fade-in and the start of the signature piano vamp. Also notable: Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones played the vibraslap in the Jimi Hendrix song "All Along the Watchtower"; it is the thwack sound heard at the end of each bar in the intro. The vibraslap is also used in the songs "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, "You're In" by Kimya Dawson and "I Don't Like It, I Love It" by Flo Rida. It can also be heard in "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys, "Asesina" by Okills, as well as in "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance. The instrumental theme to the television show "Room 222" featured the sound of a vibraslap at regular intervals throughout the song.  The 1992 hit "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang," by Dr Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, also prominently features the sound of the vibraslap. The vibraslap can also be heard in "Chaining Day" by J. Cole, and in the song's sample "Sho' Nuff" by Sly, Slick and Wicked. Carl Palmer, drummer and percussionist with Emerson, Lake & Palmer made use of the vibraslap. Other tunes which include the vibraslap are "Rude 69" by Let's Go Bowling, "A Fifth of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy, "I Don't Know" by Paul McCartney, "Shouldn't Judge a Man" by Skankin' Pickle, "Gone Campin'" by Harry and the Potters, and even "Feels Good" by Tony! Toni! Toné!. British band Kasabian have also used the vibraslap on a number of songs, including "Fire", "Where Did All The Love Go?" and "treat".

While recording "Sweet Emotion", Steven Tyler broke the vibraslap on the third attempt at using it. The break can be heard on the recording.

Sufjan Stevens used a vibraslap during live performances of some of his songs, most notably "Carrie & Lowell".

The vibraslap can also be heard in the theme music to the popular Channel 4 game show Countdown and is also prominently heard in the music played whilst the Countdown clock is running.

Mr. Bungle use a vibraslap in the song "Stubb (A Dub)".

Tally Hall often used a vibraslap named Henry at live shows.

Two overlapping vibraslaps can be heard in Billy Idol's "Eyes Without a Face".

The Best Actresses Under 30
Filed under: Debates — 4 Comments
There seems to be a real buzz around a lot of young actresses in Hollywood at the minute and I think that this is a good thing because I think really talented actresses have been hard to come by over the last decade or so. Here are, in my opinion, the most talented actresses working today under the age of 30.
8. Dakota Fanning
At only 18 years old Dakota Fanning has been acting for as long as she has been alive pretty much and for years has been talked about as a great young prospect in Hollywood. Having appeared in films such as Man On Fire, War of the Worlds, Push, Coraline and the Twilight series it is easy to see why.
7. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is probably the biggest name on this list. Having really burst onto the scene in 2003 with Lost In Translation she has gone on to appear in a number of high profile films such as The Prestige, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Iron Man 2 and the third highest grossing film of all time The Avengers.
6. Anna Kendrick
Kendrick's schedule is pretty packed right now with a huge number of projects in the pipeline for this year and the next despite a slow start to her acting career. She has appeared alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in comedy drama 50/50 and alongside George Clooney in the 2009 Oscar nominated Up in the Air.
5. Emma Watson
Everyone on the planet can recognise Emma Watson although she is probably best known as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter franchise. She is moving away from that image with something completely different later this year in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and next year's The Bling Ring.
4. Chloe Moretz
At only 15 years old Chloe Moretz is sure to be a star of Hollywood for many years to come. She achieved unanimous praise for her role as Hit Girl in Kick-Ass and went on to appear in (500) Days of Summer, Let Me In and Hugo.
3. Emma Stone
Stone is currently appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man as Peter Parker's love interest, Gwen Stacy. Since making her film debut in Superbad she has had starring roles in Crazy Stupid Love and Easy A as well as a supporting role in The Help and will soon be appearing in The Gangster Squad in which she looks fantastic.
2. Jennifer Lawrence
Soon to be one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood Lawrence is currently a star of the new X-men franchise as well as heading up The Hunger Games trilogy. She is one of the youngest women to ever be nominated for the Best Leading Actress Oscar for her performance in Winter's Bone. She has proven in the short time since bursting on to the scene that she has a large range of skills and is a very versatile actress.
1. Carey Mulligan
Carey Mulligan is a 27 year old English actress who has been the subject of critical acclaim in every field of acting; film, television and broadway. Mulligan first appeared in Pride & Prejudice before going on to appear in a number of television programmes. She has appeared in films such as Never Let Me Go, Brothers, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Public Enemies. I recently saw Mulligan in Drive where she put in a really great performance but it was in An Education where I first saw her and where many other film watchers really took notice of her. An Education is a wonderful British film and Mulligan puts in a golden performance and was rightly nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her performance as well as winning a BAFTA. Carey Mulligan definitely has a huge career ahead of her.

Chris Evans – Action Man
Chris Evans is probably one of my favourite actors at the minute, not necessarily because he is a brilliant actor because he is far from the best, but he brings with him to every role a huge amount of enthusiasm and fun which helps the audience no end. I have never seen him put in a bad performance in a film and he is fast becoming one of the go to guys for an action film in Hollywood.
Evans made his action debut in 2000 and has since gone on to appear in over twenty films to date. After making his film debut in The Newcomers, Chris Evans was given a starring role on television series Opposite Sex, alongside Milo Ventimiglia. The show ran for just one series.
After the series ended Evans appeared in comedy Not Another Teen Movie. Once he was finished filming that he began to work on a couple more films: The Perfect Score and Cellular, both of which were released in 2004. Cellular, in my opinion, was a great action film, it was fast paced, it had a great cast pitching Chris Evans against action heavyweight Jason Statham. This is one of my favourite performances from Evans as he manages to combine humour and action greatly!
Evans 'flames on' for Fantastic Four.
In 2005, Evans starred in two independent films. The first being Fierce People and the second being London, which saw Evans reunite with Statham. It was also in 2005 when Chris Evans received mainstream attention. It could have come in a better film but anyway, Evans starred as the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four film. Yes, the film was awful, yes, the characters were ruined, all except for Evans' Johnny Storm who was the highlight of the film for fans of the comic book and the movies alike. Evans showed once again that he is charming, witty and a great pick for an action film with his performance.
The Human Torch was a role he took up again in the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (a movie that managed to be even worse than the train wreck of the original film). 2007 was also the year that Evans made his debut in voice acting providing the voice of Casey Jones in the CGI film TMNT. The Nanny Diaries and Battle for Terra, Evans providing the voice once more in the latter, also came out this year, but it was his other film of 2007 that really caught my attention.
Evans plays level-headed engineer Mace in Sunshine.
Sunshine. Danny Boyle's sci-fi film about a group of astronauts sent to re-ignite the dying sun taking place fifty years in the future. Chris Evans starred alongside Danny Boyle favourite Cillian Murphy, Rose Byrne and Mark Strong. Sunshine was not a commercial success but it was critically and rightly so; this is one of the best sci-fi films I have probably ever seen, I really enjoyed it and Chris Evans' character, Mace, was in fact really good.
The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond followed before Evans returned to the action genre once more for Street Kings; a film that had a lot of noteworthy names in its cast (Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie for example) but really failed to deliver on all fronts. Then Evans went on to Push, another sci-fi/action film where he had superpowers.
Chris Evans took up comic book movie roles twice more when he appeared in The Losers and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. With the latter, despite only having a small part Evans put in a humorous performance and served the film well. Recently he starred in rom-com What's Your Number? alongside Anna Faris before taking on his biggest project to date.
Chris Evans as the iconic hero Captain America.
Chris Evans became Captain America for Marvel's The First Avenger. He played the part of Steve Rogers and at first people had their doubts because he had been in a Marvel film before or he wasn't big enough to play the super soldier. But Evans soon put those doubts to rest as he showed off his new bulked up figure in the war/superhero film and proved to be a success.
The role of Captain America is one that Evans will of course be reprising in this summer's sure fire hit, The Avengers and the release date for Captain America 2 has been confirmed. Evans really became Steve Rogers, he played the character superbly and brought to the role the same commitment and enthusiasm that he has brought to every role in his career.
Chris Evans is a fine actor and in interviews he always comes across as the nice guy. He definitely deserves more attention in movies as he has shown his versatility, starring in action, sci-fi, dramas, comedies and rom-coms. Sure, he has some bad films in his past but there are some real gems in there too. What a guy.

But things are changing. Diversity initiatives have invited people from a wider range of backgrounds into the institutions that make important decisions for all of us, about things like our health, wealth and the law.
Of course this is a good thing, but it is only a very tentative step in the right direction.
For real and meaningful changes to happen which genuinely make society a fairer place for all our citizens it is not good enough merely to employ people with lived experience of disadvantage.
The value of lived experience among the leadership of the organisations that shape our society needs to be recognised, championed and believed in.
As part of the Interdependence line-up at this year's Manchester International Festival, a panel entitled 'How do we reclaim our humanity?', six extraordinary people described how their life experiences had led them to head up their own organisations.
Human rights lawyer and Clore Social Fellow Baljeet Sandhu headed up the cast of 'New Constellations' – the bright stars who are leading a new era creating new services and opportunities for the unheard.
Baljeet founded Migrant and Refugee Children's Legal Unit based in London and was its director from 2012 until 2019. She is one of the UK's top experts on children's rights in relation to asylum and immigration law.
Paula Harriott is a mum, grandmother and part of the senior management team at the Prison Reform Trust, she is open about having faced a long custodial sentence herself and believes that more needs to be done to meet the needs of the one in ten people in the UK who have a criminal record.
Sunny Dhadley talked about his own experience of addiction to heroin and cocaine. He explains how he developed a peer-led treatment model after he found post-detox support failed to adequately support those in recovery. (More on this in his excellent TEDxWolverhampton talk).
Farzana Khan is a youth worker from Tower Hamlets, one of London's poorest and most culturally diverse boroughs. She started working with young people when she was 14 and created inclusive arts products.
She found that institutions didn't meet her needs or those of other people who were the brown or black, or those with LGBTQI identities, disabled people and those from a range of disadvantaged backgrounds.
Farzana set up Healing Justice London to address the need to ensure that health and wellbeing can be a focus for every person, and that the distress of loss and trauma are shared, acknowledged with individuals and communities given the chance to repair themselves.
Jane Cordell has an incredible career portfolio as a musician, educationalist and diplomat among other roles. In 2010 she was denied a position on the basis of the cost of reasonable adjustments in relation to her hearing loss.
She believes the world is missing out on the talents, skills and experiences of many people because of kind of treatment that she has faced in relation to her disability. (There's lots more about Jane on her website gettingequal.com).
Peter Atherton grew up in the care system and became involved in crime during adolescence resulting in a custodial sentence.
With little to aspire to, his impulsive behaviour led to drug addiction and poor mental health and his chances of finding paid work faded.
In his thirties, he realised that he could use his experiences to help others. He volunteered before working in the public sector. However, he started to feel that his presence there was token and was frustrated.
Wanting to do more than 'tick a box', Peter set up Community Led Initiatives with another former addict. The peer-led organisation helps people to move on from difficult and traumatic experiences such as addiction, time in prison or homelessness.
It's time for Lived Experience to make a difference
While 'service users', 'clients', 'claimants' and other outsiders are starting to get their voices heard in the development of state provision, having a place at the table is not enough.
So let's not tick boxes, let's turn the tables themselves.
There's enough room for us all to bring our lived experience, share it and help each other to heal from the trauma, loss and alienation we have faced and build services that meaningfully involve those they most impact.

CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia was established in 2013 as a network of cities and other stakeholders from two neighbouring countries that deal with sustainable mobility planning and traffic management. The objective of the network is knowledge sharing and good practice exchange as well as implementation of partner projects which are meant to finance future sustainable mobility activities. We are proud to have more than 150 members, which makes us the most numerous network. Having in mind that we are countries with small population, we consider this as a huge success.
Networking and all forms of cooperation are welcome for more effective solving of urban traffic and mobility problems - from the exchange of experience, knowledge and ideas to joint participation and synergy of the cities, thus enabling better usage of EU funds. Besides members from Slovenia and Croatia, we are attracting also cities and other stakeholders from the region of South East Europe. In order to enhance conditions for sustainable development that contributes to the prosperity and a better future for our cities, states and regions, during the 3rd Assembly held in February 2016, the name of the network was changed to CIVINET Slovenia - Croatia - South East Europe (SEE).
Local authorities and other CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia-SEE partners have expressed their commitment to strengthening the exchange of knowledge, information and experience gained within the CIVITAS initiative with other members of the Network. They have also committed to supporting the dissemination of information on the activities, achievements and results of the CIVITAS initiative and the CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia-SEE network to other towns and cities in both countries and in the region. Therefore, a number of events and study tours have been organised.
Vlado Babić from the City of Ljubljana was the Network Regional Manager till the end of August 2016. The coordination role was handed over to Croatian City of Rijeka. New Network Regional Manager is Srdjan Skunca, head of City Department for Development, Urbanism and Ecology. President of Political Committee is Marko Filipovic, Rijeka deputy mayor. ODRAZ-Sustainable Community Development acts as Secretariat of the Network.
CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia-SEE currently comprises 160 members: 43 from Slovenia, 69 from Croatia and 48 members from Bosnia&Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. 63 members are cities (15 Slovenian, 31 Croatian, four from Montenegro, one from B&H, three from Macedonia and nine from Serbia), others are important sustainable mobility stakeholders: civil society organisations, public transport providers, institutes, faculties, ministries, etc. Since the Assembly in 2015, individual experts can be members, as well.
CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia-SEE, like other similar networks, was supported by the European Commission through CIVITAS CAPITAL project, that lasted from September 1, 2013 till August 31, 2016. Small funds are earmarked to partly fund some of the network's activities in 2017 and 2018 from CIVITAS Satellite project.
Through fundraising activities, ODRAZ succeeded in getting some additional funds from Croatian Fund for Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency as well as a small grants from City of Zagreb. Financial support for network Secretariat in 2017 is securred from City of Rijeka for following activities: updating web and Fb sites, preparing e-bulletins and organising events. Rijeka and Ljubljana contribution were given in 2018, as well. City of Zagreb funded Secretariat's participation at CIVITAS Forums 2017 and 2018.
Sustainable mobility? How does that work in Ljutomer, Murska Sobota, Cakovec and Koprivnica!; CIVINET members participated from April 9 to 10, 2014 at interesting study visit to several Slovenian and Croatian cities. They had the opportunity to learn more about the activities directed towards sustainable mobility in these cities.
CIVINET and its member, Department for urban traffic Faculty of Traffic Sciences in Zagreb, held an interesting and very useful round table in June 13, 2014 on sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP), during which participants had the opportunity to hear about the experiences of experts who deal with this important issue.
A workshop "Safe areas around schools" was organized in the City of Koprivnica, in scope of CIVITAS CAPITAL Activity fund, for the Municipality of Niksic, Montenegro on 17 -18 July 2014. Niksic Municipality joined the network soon afterwards.
The network is presented, as well as projects CIVITAS MOBILIS and CIVITAS ELAN, at "Belgrade – Being Inspired" workshop, held on September 19, 2014 in Belgrade. The event was funded through CIVITAS Activity Fund. Great interest from partners in Belgrade and Serbia to join CIVINET Slovenia & Croatia Network has been expressed.
CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia members actively participated at CIVITAS FORUM 2014, that was held in Casablanca; network coordinator and representative of Croatian Secretariat, as well as representative of town of Koprivnica, attended whole-day meeting of all CIVINET networks on 23 September 2014; several members from both countries participated as presenters or moderators at the technical sessions.
On October 7, 2014, CIVINET Slovenia & Croatia Network, together with the City of Maribor and the Energy Agency for Podravje region, organised a Conference on sustainable mobility named "From Theory to Practice – Taking a High-way or Walking" in Maribor. A wide range of good practices from Slovenia, Croatia, Austria and Spain was presented.
On November 4, 2014, CIVINET Slovenia & Croatia Network's Workshop on Introducing and Developing SUMP's in Slovenia, Croatia and Neighbouring Countries was organized in Zagreb, followed by the second MC meeting. The workshop was a success for more than fifty participants - representatives of the cities and relevant institutions from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and Austria. They had a chance to hear more about research, planning and implementation of various sustainable urban mobility activities, as well as SUMP methodology in designated countries/cities (e.g. Austrian Graz and Judenburg, Slovenian capital Ljubljana and some smaller towns, Novi Sad from Serbia and Croatian cities Zagreb and Koprivnica).
General Assembly was held in Croatian town of Rijeka on February 20, 2015. Some changes in the Statute were adopted and the 2015 Statement was issued by the Political Committee. Three good urban mobility examples from Rijeka were presented (Rijeka's promenades, BikeRijeka and new environmentally friendly public transport fleet). Examples of bike projects and bike transport challenges were also presented by colleagues from Slovenia, as well as project on counselling for personal mobility. Representative of City of Koprivnica presented newly established SUMP Competence Centre for South Eastern Europe. After the event, more than 50 participant from Slovenia and Croatia, as well as from other SEE countries had a chance to ride the busses on natural gas and walk along the part of promenade.
Study visit on best mobility and mobility management practices in Zürich and Luzern - On May 12 and 13, 2015 CIVINET Slovenia-Croatia organised an interesting study visit on the best practices of sustainable mobility in Zürich and Luzern, joined by CIVINET Czech and Slovak Republics. Altogether 17 participants from three countries participated in this very interested and inspiring visit. We have learned the information on Swiss railway system and Zürich Main Railway Station and visited Sihlcity shopping centre characterized by careful limitations to its attractiveness for private car based shopping and well-thought design of alternative transport accessibility and delivery of purchased goods. On the walking tour in the city, the participants learned about calmed traffic and car free and car parking free residential areas. Transport policies and mobility measures were explained by two mobility experts, e.g. master plan Stadtverkehr 2025.

XL Ironworks endeavours to affirm itself as a premier provider of manufactured steel and joists components to its customers with highly competent personnel and innovative fabrication techniques. We are striving to achieve the lowest overall costs without compromising quality or service, by a continuous review of materials and practices.
XL Iron employs 65 people in its structural steel fabrication plant and 30-50 ironworkers erecting steel in the field at any given time.
A steel fabrication and erection company is like any other business in that it must weather changes in economies: contraction or expansion. It must adapt to the globalization of industry, and the introduction of international competitors. It must respond to changes in manufacturing processes, technologies and the demands of its work force. And it must do so while continuously providing high quality products and services to its customers, in a virtually transparent manner.
At XL Iron, we have succeeded at attaining the former, and have done so while growing dynamically since 1973. With over three decades of experience, we are poised to address the needs of our customers into the 21st century. We have adopted modern technologies and constantly invest in our company and workforce in order to supply our customers with the best possible products and services. As a result, we are able to compete on the international stage with competitive pricing and precision fabricated steel.
We welcome your enquiries about our capabilities, and with our innovative approach to fabrication, can offer up solutions that will enhance the viability and competitiveness of your project. Contact us here.

Q: list to numpy array, inconsistent string to float conversion error I have struggle understanding the following anomaly, though I am sure it is ridiculously simple.
I have a list raw_ticker, with the following values:
raw_ticker = ['t1INCH:USD', 3.5881, 17907.680602819994, 3.5945, 10610.799208380002, -0.0172, -0.0048, 3.5982, 300068.50303883, 3.9639, 2.7685]

I want to convert it to a numpy array ticker, and specify the data types:
ticker = np.array(raw_ticker,
        dtype=[
        ('symbol', str),
        ('bid', float),
        ('bid_size', float),
        ('ask', float),
        ('ask_size', float),
        ('day_chg', float),
        ('day_chg_p', float),
        ('last', float),
        ('vol', float),
        ('high', float),
        ('low', float)])

I get the following error :

could not convert string to float: 't1INCH:USD'

which I don't get as I explicitly specified that this field is a string, not a float.

A: Providing the data as a tuple or list of tuples:
In [363]: raw_ticker = ['t1INCH:USD', 3.5881, 17907.680602819994, 3.5945, 10610.799208380002, -
     ...: 0.0172, -0.0048, 3.5982, 300068.50303883, 3.9639, 2.7685]
In [364]: ticker = np.array(tuple(raw_ticker),
     ...:         dtype=[
     ...:         ('symbol', str),
     ...:         ('bid', float),
     ...:         ('bid_size', float),

     ...:         ('last', float),
     ...:         ('vol', float),
     ...:         ('high', float),
     ...:         ('low', float)])
In [365]: ticker
Out[365]:
array(('', 3.5881, 17907.68060282, 3.5945, 10610.79920838, -0.0172, -0.0048, 3.5982, 300068.50303883, 3.9639, 2.7685),

The 'symbol' dtype needs a string width, e.g. 'U20'.

One thing that I love playing up my fashion with, is handbags. I think it's amazing how easily they can pull together an outfit. So I have a huge selection of handbags. In my opinion, you really can never have enough, because every different bag can completely transform what you're wearing.
So when I was able to choose a new bag from Twisted Orchid, I was just ecstatic!
I've only ever owned one other handbag with crocodile print. I've always kind-of liked it, but you don't see crocodile print bags too often in the store. So that was one of the aspects that drew my toward this bag. The other aspect was the unique shape.
There was only one thing, I didn't care for too much, and that was that the bag seemed to constantly be falling off of my shoulder. I'm not used to carrying bags with long straps, so I'm not sure if it just takes some getting used to, but the look of the bag outweighs the fact that it slips off my shoulder.
I just love the way it looks too much, not to use it☺.
What surprised my most about the bag was how many pockets it had. When I was looking at the pictures while deciding which bag I'd choose, I honestly just thought there would be one zipper, right under the flap, and maybe one smaller zipper inside of the other zipper.
But I was way off. Believe it or not, this bag actually has 4 zippers! One on the back, One in the front, a large on right under the flap, and a smaller one inside of the one under the flap. There is also a large snap-button pocket under the flap too. While the bag looks fairly small, it can actually hold a ton!
Twisted Orchid offers a huge selection of handbags.. But be warned.. If you visit you might just find yourself craving a new bag!
1 of you will receive any handbag of your choice from the Twisted Orchid website, valued at $75.00 or less.

This giveaway will end on April 23rd, 2012 at 11:59 pm. Winner will be drawn via Random.org, and winner has 48 hours to respond to my email, before a new winner will have to be chosen.

"_NSConcreteGlobalBlock," referenced from:

Any ideas as to whether blocks are supported in the iPhone 3.1.3 SDK?  I found conflicting reports on the internet.

A: Blocks are not supported natively on the iPhone.  However, there is an option:  The "plblocks" project allows you to compile block-based code for 10.5 and iPhone OS 2.2+:

No, the North Korean dictator is not God
The notion that Billy Graham endorsed Kim Il-sung is another Pyongyang fantasy
No, the North Korean dictator is not God The notion that Billy Graham endorsed Kim Il-sung is another Pyongyang fantasy Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/1TxGTs4
DetroitNews Published 10:48 p.m. ET April 27, 2016
Kim Il-sung(Photo: Anonymous / AP)
The North Korean regime is now claiming that Supreme Leader Kim Il-sung, grandfather to Kim Jong-un, is not only God, but recognized as such by America's legendary evangelist Billy Graham.
On Kim Il-sung's recent birthday, Pyongyang's official paper reported that Graham, who traveled several times to North Korea, praised the senior Kim's rule.
Graham supposedly said, "Having observed the Supreme Leader Kim Il-sung's unique political leadership, I can only think that he is God." The man who raised the Bible at thousands of crusades then "said," according to the paper, "Kim is this world's God. Why would a country like this need the Holy Bible?"
Graham is long retired, in ill health, and out of public view. Officials at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association dismissed the claims as not reflecting "Mr. Graham's theology or his language."
Certainly there's no evidence that in thrall of the great leader the evangelist tossed aside his life's calling to worship the modern equivalent of Baal. Kim offered the faith no favors. To the contrary, he became one of the last century's great religious persecutors.
And Kim's pernicious policies continued under his son and grandson. If anything, the repression has worsened. While most North Korean refugees returned to the DPRK are treated atrociously, greatest punishment is inflicted on those thought to have fallen under the sway of foreign Christians.
The Kim dynasty is premised on loyalty to the top leader, who long has been treated with reverence and said to be capable of super-human feats. The biography of Kim Jong-il, father of Kim Jong-un, was rearranged to have the former born on sacred Mount Paektu rather than in Siberia. That buttressed Kim's claim to semi-divinity as well. Presumably the son of a god also is a god. And the latter's son as well.
Yet it would behoove the North Koreans to be careful before so cavalierly claiming divine status. One of the great Old Testament face-offs came during the reign of Ahab, not one of Israel's more benighted rulers. The prophet Elijah challenged 50 advocates of Baal, rather like the retainers surrounding the Kims today.
Both sides prepared a bull for sacrifice on Mount Carmel. Baal's prophets danced, shouted, and "slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom," but still there was no response. Then Elijah called upon the one true God and "the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil." At Elijah's instruction, the people seized the false prophets and slaughtered them. (1 Kings 18: 19-40)
Then there was King Herod, his hands washed in the blood of John the Baptist. Herod spoke to the people of Sidon and Tyre, who were seeking to reconcile with the king. They responded: "'This is the voice of a god, not of a man.' Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died." (Acts 12:21-23)
It seems there is a price to be paid for claiming to be a god.
Christianity once flourished in the north as well as south of the Korean peninsula. Despite extraordinary persecution under the Kim dynasty, the faith survived. Its continued existence challenges the current Kim's rule. Perhaps he believes that he can bolster the regime's credibility by claiming an improbable endorsement from Graham.
But that's not likely to work. Too much information passes over the DPRK's borders for anyone any longer to believe the fantasies propagated in Pyongyang. Moreover, North Korean officials should beware of what happened to past prophets of Baal. A little fire from heaven just might be in store.

e-Forum on the contribution of Agriculture Research and Innovation in Mitigating the impact of COVID19 in Africa
"In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity" were the resounding words of Albert Einstein which were quoted by Her Excellency Josepha Leonel Correta Sacko, the Commissioner, African Union Commission Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture during her opening remarks at the e-forum on the contribution of agriculture research and innovation in mitigating the impact of COVID19 in Africa held on 20th May 2020. She stressed that the COVID19 had created an opportunity for Africa to explore contextualized solutions that will be relevant to the continent. "This is the best time to boost Africa's food security. It presents us with a crisis within a crisis. The science and technology and innovation are a critical agenda now than ever before" she added to underscore the role of science in finding solutions to the current crises of climate change and COVID-19 which are likely to impact Africa's food security.
The CAADP-XP4 implementing organizations which include the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), the Centre for Coordination of Agriculture Research and Development in Southern Africa (CCARDESA), African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS), West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development(CORAF), Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa(ASARECA) convened the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to elicit perspectives and secure buy-in of stakeholders in the continent's agriculture science, technology and innovation (STI) regarding:
COVID-19 impacts (short term, medium, and long-term whose solutions are principally rooted in research and innovations.
Identification of priority interventions to be undertaken by African 'research and innovation system and
The next steps in advancing from concept to action.
Dr Idrahim Mayaki, the Chief Executive Officer at Africa Union Development Agency (AUDA)-NEPAD said the COVID-19 was a local problem which required a contextualized solution. He advised against shelving local research findings and opting for external results which did not solve the problem. He encouraged the participants not to push forward other people's agenda but instead to push the African agenda so that the continent becomes self-reliant.
Speaking at the same event, Dr Malu Ndavi, the Technical lead specialist and the Task Team Leader (TTL) of the CAAPDXP4 Programme from IFAD acknowledged and applauded the partnership of FARA, CCARDESA, AFAAS, CORAF AND ASARECA in implementing the CAADP-XP4 Programme. He mentioned that COVID-19 is here to stay and is the new normal. Therefore, people must find ways and interventions of living with it. He stated his desire to see the meeting coming up with specific interventions in agriculture and have a clear roadmap that will address the short time shocks imposed on the people, markets and farm produce. He also suggested long term solutions centered around building resilience and disease coping mechanisms in the communities. Dr Ndavi unveiled IFAD's established response to the COVID-19 for the youths and also applauded CCARDESA and ASARECA for proactively submitting a proposal in response to mitigating COVID 19.
The Executive Director for FARA, Dr Yemi Akinbamijo, gave highlights of the proposal that was developed by all the Sub-regional organizations and how they intend to cushion the effects of COVID-19.
A farmer's representatives, Elizabeth Nsimadala, who is also the president for the Pan African Farmers Organisation (PAFO), also shared the challenges experienced by the farmers. The double crisis of COVID-19, floods as well as lack of farming inputs which could not be delivered at the onset of the farming season due to travel restrictions that were imposed as a result of COVID17 have affected us" said Ms Nsimadala. She advocated for a need for improved synergies between extension, research and farmer. She also appealed for formation of digital platforms where farmers can aggregate, share and influence data and also appealed for access to post-loss harvest funds and other catastrophes so that farmers can recover from unforeseen disruptions. For Elizabeth, the pandemic has prompted her to think of how Africa can move research from the lab to the farm in order to secure food security for the continent.
The panelists were drawn from all over the continent with over 200 participants listening in. After the webinar session, the discussions were expected to be continued in a blog that will run up to 2nd June 2020. Some of the questions not addressed in the webinar will be addressed in the blog forum. Based on the contributions, what remains to be done is to distil the submitted inputs to develop a complete and detailed road map that the sub-Regional organizations and continental organizations will follow to fully address the impact of the COVID-19 on the agricultural and research sector.

Dixie Chicks Share New Song 'Julianna, Calm Down'
By RTTNews Staff Writer ✉ | Published: 5/4/2020 10:00 AM ET
The Dixie Chicks shared a new song, "Julianna, Calm Down," a track off their upcoming eighth album, Gaslighter, via Instagram last Thursday.
"We hope it makes you feel empowered, smile, and strut the f*** around like you've got nothing to lose," Dixie Chicks said in a statement. "We will strut through this time together."
"Julianna, Calm Down," which is named after Emily Strayer's daughter, asks women to look for inner strength while facing issues with relationships.
The lyrics of the song go like this: "Julianna, calm down / You know he's about to leave but don't panic / Don't give him the satisfaction that you can't handle it / Breathe / It'll be okay."
"Don't give him the satisfaction that you can't handle it/Breathe.
Put on your best shoes, and strut the f*** around like you've got nothing to lose."
The group released the album's lead single "Gaslighter" last month.
The album is the band's first since the release of Taking the Long Way in 2016. The LP bagged five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
The Dixie Chicks trio, Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Strayer, had originally planned to release the Gaslighter album on May 1. A new release date has not been announced as yet.
The song is now available via Amazon, Apple, Spotify and more.


There's been a lot of discussion in the last week about Apple's decision to not support Flash on the upcoming iPad.
Early iPad users are going to see a lot of blue boxes, right, where their audio and video file would otherwise be. And publishers are going to have to decide if it's worth the trouble to update their sites to work with the new devices.
Apple's decision to not support Flash is a tough one – but it's still the right decision. The decision, like Apple's early adoption of USB and dumping of disk drives, is a move forward that only Apple is in a position to make.
And Apple's most influential products have been defined by the features they've left out as much as the features that they've included.
The opportunity is there for Adobe to create tools that support Flash and non-Flash devices equally well. Adobe hasn't made this happen – but the success of the iPhone and the introduction of the iPad will force the issue.
And if Adobe doesn't make it happen, indie and corporate media publishers alike are going to be looking for ways to make sure their sites are compatible with the iPad.
How would you know if we did… what would have to change?
I find it interesting that Apple is making a big splash with something that doesn't do what it should. Like or hate Flash, it's here, it's being used and other tablets, like Archos (which was about a year ahead of Apple) uses it. Why don't we hear more about the Archos Internet Tablet, Internet Media Tablet and PCTablet from you guys? Looks like it runs circles around the pad.
None of these platforms have gained any significant traction.
I was asking you if you had ever reviewed them. If you're going to do reviews, do reviews so we can see your opinions. It doesn't help your credibility if all you do is cheer Apple, jeer everyone else.

"Never before had there been so many foreign troops on the soil of Viet Nam. But never before either, had the Vietnamese people been so determined to rise up in combat to defend their country."
Help us translate this quote
— Võ Nguyên Giáp
People's War, People's Army (1962), Context: In August 1945, the capitulation of the Japanese forces before the and the Allied forces, put an end to the world war. The defeat of the German and Nippon fascists was the beginning of a great weakening of the capitalist system. After the great victory of the Soviet Union, many people's democracies saw the light of day. The socialist system was no longer confined within the frontiers of a single country. A new historic era was beginning in the world. In view of these changes, in Viet Nam, the Indo-chinese Communist Party and the Viet Minh called the whole Vietnamese nation to general insurrection. Everywhere, the people rose in a body. Demonstrations and displays of force followed each other uninterruptedly. In August, the Revolution broke out, neutralising the bewildered Nippon troops, overthrowing the pro-Japanese feudal authorities, and installing people's power in Hanoi and throughout the country, in the towns as well as in the countryside, in Bac Bo as well as in Nam Bo. In Hanoi, the capital, in September 2nd, the provisional gouvernment was formed around President Ho Chi Minh; it presented itself to the nation, proclaimed the independence of Viet Nam, and called on the nation to unite, to hold itself in readiness to defend the country and to oppose all attempts at imperialist aggression. The Democratic Republic of Viet Nam was born, the first people's democracy in South-east Asia. But the imperialists intended to nip the republican regime in the bud and once again transform Viet Nam into a colony. Three weeks had hardly gone by when, on September 23rd, 1945, the French Expeditionary Corps opened fire in Saigon. The whole was to be carried on for nine years at the cost of unprecedented heroism and amidst unimaginable difficulties, to end by the shining victory of our people and the crushing defeat of the aggressive imperialists at Dien Bien Phu.... Never before had there been so many foreign troops on the soil of Viet Nam. But never before either, had the Vietnamese people been so determined to rise up in combat to defend their country. pp. 4-5
