Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
Piedad (in Italian: Pietà — the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus)
Butterflies flutter beside a lion that sleeps peacefully. Flowers and other greenery spring from the reddish-brown earth, all painted with naturalistic precision. In the center foreground, the Virgin Mary mourns her dead son, holding him. Jesus' broken body arcs across her lap, blood streaming from his wounds. On the left side, St. Jerome, dressed in red and white, kneels while paging through a book. At his feet we see a lion — a reference to the legend that St. Jerome tamed a lion in the wilderness by healing its paw.
Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà (detail), 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
To the right is the Canon Desplà, who lived in Barcelona, Spain during the fifteenth century, dressed in heavy black robes.
While our attention is focused on the figures in the foreground who take up half of the composition, behind them is a vast and detailed landscape. It is filled with cities, windmills, mountains, rocky crags, pathways, waterfalls, rivers, and weather phenomena in the sky.
The artist, Bartolomé Bermejo, renders the landscape with exquisite details and a lush color palette, inviting viewers to delight in his naturalistic effects. It is clear that the artist has studied plants, animals, and insects, as he attempts to capture them faithfully. He uses the relatively new medium of oil paint to build up details and textures.
Jerusalem (detail), Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
Bermejo's careful observation of the natural world is paired with his imaginative depiction of Jerusalem in the background where the ancient city looks more like fifteenth-century Europe with its Gothic architecture (note the tall spires, delicate tracery, and rose windows) than an eastern Mediterranean city. Some buildings though, do have small domes, likely the artist's attempt to reference Jerusalem's famous domed spaces (such as the Dome of the Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Pairing convincing naturalism with creative invention made Bermejo one of the most original artists of his day. Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà is Bermejo's last known completed work before he mysteriously stopped producing art.
The auburn artist on the move
Map of the Iberian Peninsula in 1492
Bartolomé de Cárdenas, often called el Bermejo (which means "auburn" in Spanish), was likely born in the city of Córdoba on the Iberian peninsula around 1440. For much of his career he painted within the Kingdom of Aragón. We have artworks from cities like Valencia, Daroca, Zaragoza, and Barcelona, as well as some textual records that describe aspects of his time in these places. Unfortunately, many details of Bermejo's life are currently unknown to us.
Bermejo is an example of an itinerant artist — someone who moved around a great deal during his lifetime. He never stayed anywhere for more than ten years. He had a reputation for not completing his work, and was even excommunicated at one point while in Daroca. It is likely that Bermejo was a converso, someone who converted from Judaism to Christianity. While in Daroca, Bermejo married a conversa named Gracia de Palaciano. At this time in Spain, many conversos were suspected of still practicing Judaism. At one point Gracia was called before the Inquisition for not knowing the Nicene Creed (a statement of belief widely used in Christian liturgy). Bermejo's itinerancy might partially be explained by his being a converso.
Throughout his journeys, Bermejo absorbed and adapted different artistic strategies, including Flemish (Northern Renaissance) ones. It has been suggested that between the 1450s and 1460s, he may have apprenticed in Flanders, today primarily Belgium and the Netherlands, but we have no specific evidence that Bermejo ever traveled there as some other artists of his time did. It is more likely that he was coming into contact with Flemish art through Flemish artists who moved to the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal), and Spanish artists who themselves had also absorbed Flemish artistic ideas. Valencia was well-known as an international and cosmopolitan city, complete with artists from northern Europe as well as merchants selling artworks acquired from there.
Naturalism and observation
Earlier fifteenth century depictions of the Piedad, such as Fernando Gallego's painting of this subject, reveal a similar interest in panoramic landscapes, and are similarly influenced by Flemish painting.
Scenes of the Pietà or Lamentation by Dieric Bouts and Petrus Christus reveal that Spanish artists like Gallego and Bermejo adapted elements from these Netherlandish painters. However, few artists (Flemish or Spanish) display the same keen observational interest in botanical elements or fauna as Bermejo does.
Fernando Gallego, Piedad, 1465–70, mixed method, 118 x 111 cm (Prado Museum); right: Dieric Bouts, Lamentation, c. 1460, oil on oak panel, 69 x 49 cm (Louvre Museum)
Mary's mantle (detail), Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
If we take a close look at the Virgin Mary's blue mantle for example, we can see Bermejo's extraordinary technical skills. The edge of the mantle is decorated with complex golden patterns, and he reveals the green lining as a way to portray the different angles and textures of the textile.
The artist also shows more naturalistic folds in the mantle than the more stylized, angular drapery characteristic of Flemish and Spanish painting of the time (this is especially evident in Gallego's Piedad). The oil glazing that Bermejo uses also permits him to pay close attention to details. There are more than forty types of plants in the painting, providing viewers with great botanical variety.
While Bermejo's observational skills are on full display in this painting, many of the animals and plants also have deeper symbolic meaning. Small red and white blossoms dot the landscape, symbolizing purity (white) and passion (red). White and orange butterflies flutter around the composition, likely symbolizing resurrection. On the right side of the painting are several European goldfinches (symbols of the Passion and Resurrection). A snake slithers away between the rocks, and a mouse flees into the grass. Both are associated with Satan or evil, and the idea here is that evil is being driven away.
A pile of exposed bones rests behind Mary and her son. It is common to see a human skull and crossbones at the base of the cross in images of the Crucifixion, Lamentation, and Pietà. The bones are Adam's, and it locates the Crucifixion at Golgotha (Calvary), the "place of the skull," in Jerusalem. Bermejo also uses them to signal his skill, by depicting more bones than we might normally observe in a such a scene, but also including more difficult bones to paint, such as vertebrae.
Sky (detail), Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
Different types of weather phenomena take place across the sky, with Bermejo creating various atmospheric effects. On the left, we see thick cumulus clouds and rain pouring down. A blackened sky fills the top portion of the sky, partially obscuring the moon. Closer to the earth in the center of the landscape the clouds begin to clear, and birds fly in straight formation off to the right side of the sky. The rightmost section of the sky is red and golden, and the sun is likely further off to the right. The storms and dark threatening sky refers to the passage in the Gospels about the darkness following Jesus' death and a possible eclipse. Where the sun should be in the composition, if it were paired with the moon, is the top most portion of the cross. Bermejo may be substituting the top of the cross for the sun to convey the idea that Jesus is the light of the world (the lux mundi), and his death and resurrection allow for entry into the heavenly Jerusalem.
Halo (detail), Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
Haloes
Jesus, Mary, and Jerome's haloes look more like golden metal crowns or additions that we see on late medieval and renaissance Spanish sculpture. They differ from painted haloes that we tend to think of in the late fifteenth century in other areas of Europe, often golden disks surrounding the head. Earlier Spanish artists, like Gallego, similarly include the halo as rays of light.
Canon Desplà and Renaissance Humanism
The Piedad described here was completed in 1490 for a chapel belonging to Canon Lluís Desplà i d'Oms in Barcelona Cathedral. Canon Desplà was an archdeacon, and a learned classical humanist. He had Bermejo include his portrait in the painting likely to both advertise his position and demonstrate his piety and contrition as he kneels forever next to Mary and Jesus. The portrait displays great realism. It shows Desplà in three-quarter profile, bearded and with a contemporary haircut. He wears clothes of his time. Bermejo does not idealize his patron, instead painting the canon with sagging skin under his eyes, and other imperfections around the mouth.
While Bermejo's depiction of St. Jerome is not a portrait, it has portrait-like qualities. Jerome pages through an open book, the written words legible to the viewer, seeming to read about the Piedad as it occurs before him. Bermejo likely included the scholarly Jerome, with his accompanying feline friend, because of the saint's association with learning, which would have appealed to humanists such as Desplà.
Signature (detail), Bartolomé Bermejo, Piedad with Canon Lluís Desplà, 1490, tempera on wood (Barcelona Cathedral)
Bermejo signed his painting on the frame with the words, "Opus.Bartolomei.Vermeio.Cordubensis" (Work of Bartolome Bermejo of Córdoba).[1] The all capital letter inscription is done in a classicizing manner, evoking antique Latin inscriptions. This may reveal Bermejo's interest in ancient Roman culture, perhaps studying first-hand the Roman monuments found in Iberia. Because Bermejo's patron was also a humanist antiquarian, the artist's choice could have been Desplà's.
Bermejo's Piedad is an exceptional painting that embodies much of the artistic transformation and innovation taking place across different parts of Europe. His empirical approach to the representation of plants and animals was one shared by other artists of this time, like Leonardo da Vinci, and which he uses to create powerful symbolic messages about Christ's sacrifice and the hope of salvation.

Oden Corp PI1K Pro Fill 1000 Liquid Filler 05mL to 5 Liters Volume Fill . New Life Scientific, Inc.
The Oden Pro Fill 1000 is a magnetic induction drive unit, which means that a clog will not burn up the motor or ruin the pump. This could be a major deciding factor for some industries or labs.
This filler is a little older, as it was manufactured in October 1993, but it is still a good working unit.
It is in good cosmetic condition with a dent in the upper corner. The technician straighten out as best as he could (which does not affect the function of the filler).
Our technician disassembled to inspect the drive interface, the rotor and the pickup were in good condition. The control appears to work fine, the pumps remained on longer if a higher volume was set. Cycle time was tested and appears to work (how long the pump waits before starting the next pump cycle).

So this coming weekend I will be photographing some Honda's and Volkswagen's. The Honda's will feature a difference in generation.
While the Volkswagen's will be two different model. I have decided to shoot them in different locations with natural and added light. I reckon the trickiest bit of the shoot will be the Honda's, reason for that is because they're both black., but who says it's impossible.
I will be posting the final shots next week.


Software, by its very nature, ought to be the main source of functionality, flexibility, and affordability in today's products and infrastructures. Yet in practice, software is often the main point of vulnerability, the main obstacle to redesign, and the main cause for cost overruns. In comparison to other engineering artifacts, much of today's software is buggy, brittle, insecure, and not interoperable.
To remedy this situation, software research needs to refocus, on all levels, from a primary concern about efficiency to a primary concern about reliability. Systems need to be designed for maximum robustness in recovering from errors and tolerating incompatibilities; compilers need to give safety assurances about the generated code; and languages need to support the verifiability and composability of programs with respect to both functional and nonfunctional aspects.
Our labs are in the EPFL IC Faculty, in Lausanne, Switzerland.

There are 2 primary government payers: Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare is for individuals who are 65 and older and disabled. Medicaid covers low-income individuals and families.
Medicare is not entirely free. Part A (Hospitalization Services) is usually free, if a beneficiary has worked long enough to qualify them as having earned enough credits to receive Part A for free, they won't have to pay a premium. A beneficiary will have to pay a premium for Part B (medical insurance). This amount varies depending on wages earned. Higher income wage earners will pay higher premiums to have Part B coverage. If a beneficiary has both Part A and Part B, this is referred to as original Medicare.
Medicare covers more than the elderly. Medicare can cover individuals who are disabled or who have an end-stage renal disease. Medicare now offers preventative care visit, where you get a 1-time physical. You have to have Part B coverage and you need to have the visit within the first month of having Part B coverage. Medicare wellness visits are slightly different, the focus is more towards prevention planning, and offered on an annual basis.
To be eligible you for Medicare at age 65, your or a spouse had to have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. You also have to be a US citizen or legal resident of the United States. Medicare has gaps in coverage. If you have original Medicare then purchasing Medigap plans can help cover the cost of coinsurance and copays. If you decide on Original Medicare, then you may need to purchase Medicare Part D, which is the prescription drug option. Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage is the alternative to Original Medicare. This plan, like Original Medicare, has deductibles, coinsurance, and copays but at a lower cost. Individuals with both Medicare and Medicaid are referred to as "Dual-Eligibles".If you don't enroll in Medicare during the initial enrollment period, then you could be penalized for late enrollment. The Part B penalty could go up 10% for every 12 month period that you were eligible but didn't enroll.
Medicaid covers low-income families and individuals that include, pregnant qualified women and children, individuals with disabilities and seniors with households below certain poverty levels. When spouse #1 is institutionalized, it can create a great hardship on the spouse #2 who still resides in the home. The cost of nursing homes can wipe out financial resources relatively quickly. This can leave the spouse #2 without enough financial resources to meet household obligations. As a result, the "spousal impoverishment" provision protects a certain amount of the couple's resources.
Medicaid will seek reimbursement from your estate for a person 55 years and older. Individuals can receive services such as skilled nursing home care or home and community-based services, inpatient hospital services as well as prescription drug services. Medicaid may seek to recover payment for the services under certain conditions. There are exceptions to the law, as an example, if the enrollee has a living spouse, disabled adult child or child under the age of 21, Medicaid will forgo recovery efforts. If a Medicaid enrollee is permanently institutionalized, Medicaid can plan a lien on your property unless your spouse, disabled adult child or child under 21 live in that home. Medicaid will release the lien if the enrollee returns home.
Although enrollees may have other insurance in addition to Medicaid, the other insurance is always responsible for paying first on any eligible medical expenses. The law protects Medicaid and makes them a payer of last resort. If a Medicaid enrollee has transferred assets for less than the fair market value within the last 5 years and now requires long-term care services (LTCS), Medicaid may deny coverage. As an example, if a parent gifts a child $10,000 within the last 5 years and ends up needing to go to a nursing home, the coverage will be denied by Medicaid.
Medicaid is not free in every state. Some states have the option to impose cost sharing. This means that enrollees may be responsible for some out-of-pocket expenses for premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copays. Under certain conditions, some groups of individuals, such as children under 18 or individuals receiving hospice care, are exempted from out-of-pocket expenses. There are also certain medical services that are exempt such as Emergency, Family Planning, and Pregnancy. Cost sharing can't exceed 5% of the family's income.
Qualifying for cheap insurance is an important step toward getting an affordable health insurance plan. Qualifying for cheap insurance to cover your healthcare needs is easy if you are eligible for government healthcare plans under Medicare or Medicaid.
You may prefer qualifying for cheap insurance to cover your healthcare needs by applying for a short-term health insurance plan, rather than a comprehensive healthcare plan. The problem with a short-term healthcare plan is that the tax penalties that can be avoided under the Affordable Care Act when you take a comprehensive health insurance plan, are not applicable to short-term health insurance plans. You can qualify for subsidized healthcare insurance plans only if you have a low income.
You can also qualify for a low-cost health insurance plan if your employer subsidizes your health insurance. You need to be a full-time employee to get the benefit and it is not applicable to part-time employees. You may be eligible for low-cost health insurance if the employer of your spouse subsidizes the health insurance of the spouse of the employee. You may qualify for coverage under the healthcare plan of your parent if you are less than 26 years of age or if your parent has a job-based health insurance coverage plan.
One consideration to be kept in view while applying for health insurance is whether the plan is an HMO or a PPO plan. Both types of plans have their advantages and drawbacks. You should the plan that works well for your unique healthcare needs. The difference between HMO and PPO is that HMO or Health Maintenance Organization allows you to go to one primary physician who will refer you to a specialist if required. While a PPO or Preferred Provider Organization allows you the flexibility of going to a specialist without the need for a referral from a primary care physician. The difference between HMO and PPO insurance is that HMO is cheaper than PPO insurance plans but does not give patients freedom of choice. PPO plans usually cost two to four times more than HMO plans. The difference between HMO and PPO Insurance is that HMO plans are comprehensively coordinated and you don't have to submit claim forms while with a PPO plan you need to submit claims for services that are out of network.
There are two ways for calling in claims to your insurance provider when you have a health issue that is covered under your health insurance plan. The first method of filing a claim is by requesting your medical services provider, physician, specialist or hospital to send the claim directly to the health insurance company. The other method of calling in claims to your insurance provider is to send the claim yourself. You may have to file a claim yourself if the medical services provider is not one of the providers in the network of the insurance company.
You can submit the claim online or visit a representative of the insurance company to help you file your claim. If you submit your claim online, the payment may be faster than a direct claim. Insurance companies give a time frame to make payments and you should contact them if the payment is not received within the time frame.

Q: Finding probability a loss will be more than twice the second loss Question: Losses follow an exponential distribution with mean $1$. Two independent losses are
observed.
Calculate the probability that either of the losses is more than twice the other.
My Attempt: $P(L_1 < x) = 1-e^{-x}$, $P(L_2 > 2x) = e^{-2x}$ <-- This step is where I go wrong. Instead of $P(L_1 < x)$ apparently I'm supposed to use $P(L_1 > x)$ but for the life of me I can't conceptualize why. Doesn't this allow for loss $1$ to be $3$ and loss $2$ to be $4$?
$$P(L_1 < x \land L_2 > 2x) = e^{-2x}-e^{-3x}$$
Integrating over all $x$: $\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}$
Multiplying by $2$ to account for Loss $2$ being bigger than Loss $1$: $\frac{1}{6}\times2 = \frac{1}{3}$
My answer: $\frac{1}{3}$ Correct answer: $\frac{2}{3}$

A: There's a few problems with your proof:

*

*By considering $P(L_1<x, L_2>2x)$, you're not accounting for some possibilities, e.g. if $x=4$, this doesn't allow $L_1=3$, $L_2=7$. What you want is $P(L_2>2L_1)$

*Integrating $P(L_1<x, L_2>2x)$ over all $x$ makes no sense. Remember you only ever integrate PDFs.

With that said, here's how to do it:

*

*The joint PDF is $f(x,y)=e^{-x}e^{-y}$ because $L_1, L_2$ are independent.

*As I mentioned in 1 above, what we're interested in is $P(L_2>2L_1)=\int_{x=0}^\infty \int_{y=2x}^\infty f(x,y) \; dx dy = 1/3$

*As you correctly noticed, you then need to multiply this by 2 to account for the other way round

A: For problems like these, I encourage you to think about the losses as represented by an ordered pair, say $(X, Y)$, and plotted on a coordinate plane.  So $X$ and $Y$ are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables with densities $f_X(x) = e^{-x}$ and $f_Y(y) = e^{-y}$.
Now consider the event that neither loss is twice the other (i.e., the complementary event of what is being asked in the question).  In the first quadrant of the $XY$-coordinate plane, imagine coloring all ordered pairs $(X,Y)$ that meet this condition.  What does this region look like?
A little thought (and maybe some sketching) should convince you that the region is bounded by two lines, one corresponding to $Y = 2X$, and (by an elementary symmetry argument) the other by $X = 2Y$.  Thus we can characterize this region by the compound inequality
$$0 < X/2 < Y < 2X. \tag{1}$$
It follows that the desired probability is simply $1 - \Pr[X/2 < Y < 2X]$, remembering that the event $(1)$ is the complement of what we wish to compute.  How do we do the calculation?  One way is to simply compute the double integral of the joint density of $(X,Y)$ over the specified region:
$$\begin{align}
\Pr[X/2 < Y < 2X]
&= \int_{x=0}^\infty \int_{y=x/2}^{2x} f_{X,Y}(x,y) \, dy \, dx \\
&= \int_{x=0}^\infty \int_{y=x/2}^{2x} e^{-x} e^{-y} \, dy \, dx \\
&= \int_{x=0}^\infty e^{-x} \bigl[ -e^{-y} \bigr]_{y=x/2}^{2x} \, dx \\
&= \int_{x=0}^\infty e^{-x} (e^{-x/2} - e^{-2x}) \, dx \\
&= \int_{x=0}^\infty e^{-3x/2} - e^{-3x} \, dx \\
&= \left[ -\frac{2}{3}e^{-3x/2} + \frac{1}{3}e^{-3x} \right]_{x=0}^\infty \\
&= 0 - \left( -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \right) \\
&= \frac{1}{3}. \tag{2}
\end{align}$$
Then again remembering to compute the complement, the desired probability is $1 - 1/3 = 2/3$, as claimed.
Another way to solve the question, and probably the originally intended method, is to note the symmetry of the variables $X$ and $Y$ and compute directly the probability that, say, the second loss is more than twice the first; e.g.,
$$\Pr[Y > 2X] = \int_{x=0}^\infty S_Y(2x) f_X(x) \, dx, \tag{3}$$ where $S_Y = 1 - F_Y$ is the survival function.  But since $S_Y$ is the same as $S_X$, as $X$ and $Y$ are iid, then we have $$\Pr[Y > 2X] = \int_{x=0}^\infty e^{-2x} e^{-x} \, dx = \int_{x=0}^\infty e^{-3x} \, dx = \frac{1}{3}. \tag{4}$$
But now you have to remember that this is only one half of the total probability, because by symmetry, the other event is $X > 2Y$--the first loss is more than twice the second.  So the answer is $2/3$, which is what we obtained after taking the complement of the double integral in $(2)$.

As a further exercise, how would you generalize this problem:  suppose $X$ and $Y$ remain independent exponentially distributed random variables, but are no longer identically distributed?  Specifically, say $X$ has mean $\mu$ and $Y$ has mean $\theta$.  And instead of twice, consider the outcome where one loss is more than $k$ times the other, for some $k > 1$.  What is the desired probability in terms of $k, \mu, \theta$?  Which computational approach would you prefer using?

After the fulfilling experience of watching football at the Olympics and not being overly bothered who won or lost, it was back to domestic duties. East Fife's first round draw in the Scottish Communities League Cup had seen us drawn away to the "new" Rangers. It would be my first trip to Ibrox since 1997 (when I was a mere 13 years old), when we lost 3-0 in a Scottish Cup 4th round tie.
The match was of course of huge significance to Rangers fans, it being the first home game since the "Newco" Rangers had been established. A crowd of 30,000 grew to at least 45,000 by the time the delayed kick-off came along, despite the official attendance being announced near the end as a suspiciously low 38,160.
Companies House says otherwise. But clever marketing nonetheless.
No matter the number of fans, it was always going to be a loud, defiant evening, and that it was. The public address system pumped out song after song which the Rangers supporters shouted along to prior to the delayed kick-off. Sandy Jardine then came on to repeat the line on the Copland Road end (see picture above), and finish with a good old-fashioned "We Are the People" (I still don't understand what this means).
What was clear from the off was that the Gers supporters either side of the rag-tag band of 600 or so East Fife supporters were spoiling for a bit of aggro. I guess with no Celtic to vent at someone has to be vented at, but it was a bit bizarre getting grief for the entirely ironic singing of "what a sh*tey home support." I've never seen so many utterly bemused East Fife supporters. "You've got no history" and "we've won more cups than you" were similarly (perhaps a bit more understandably) well-received; one thing I've never understood about Rangers fans (particularly the die-hards), and probably never will, is the complete lack of irony in the way they support their team. As a fan of a "diddy team", one thing our supporters do brilliantly (and have done in the 22 years I've been a supporter) is gallows humour. One would have expected after all they've been through in the summer that Rangers fans might have plenty of irony, and dare I say shame, at their disposal; twas not to be. I don't think I could ever take football quite that seriously.
They are the people, apparently.
To the game, and after Michael Brown pulled off a fantastic save on 11 minutes from Andy Little's header, things looked vaguely promising to the point that we might be able to keep Rangers out for a while. This feeling lasted for approximately 4 minutes, when Dean Shiels slipped a ball through for Lee McCulloch to side foot past Brown. After more sustained Rangers pressure, youngster Barrie McKay (who was excellent throughout – a real prospect, if he doesn't get lazy) knocked one through the Methil defence for Shiels to dink over Brown for a second.
Right on half time, East Fife had probably their best chance of the match. A corner (our only one of the game) was spilled by Neil Alexander. The ball fell to Gareth Wardlaw, who unfortunately skied it, leaning back. 2-1 at half time would have at least been vaguely interesting; as it was, at 2-0 at the break we were rather clinging to the merest thread of hope.
That merest thread was snapped 2 minutes after the restart. A great driving run from McKay, cutting in from the right, led to a lay off to Shiels on the edge of the Fifers' area. His shot pulled yet another decent save out of Michael Brown, but the rebound fell very kindly to Lee Wallace who made no mistake. 3-0 to Rangers. 15 minutes later it was 4, as McKay provided another assist, this time for Lee McCulloch, who again side-footed past Brown.
After that it turned into a bit of a training match for Rangers, combined with a sing-song ("You're Only Here To See the Rangers" predictably arriving around the 70 minute mark). A Robert Sloan free kick was well saved by Neil Alexander, and there was the odd vaguely exciting foray forward from the men in Black and Gold, though it wasn't to be. When our lot sang "Gordon Durie's Barmy Army" for a full 15 minutes up to the final whistle, it was the Rangers fans' turn to look bemused; presumably the notion of still cheering your team on when they're 4 down is an alien one to the chaps and chapesses in red, white and blue.
Full time came with a victory for Rangers on their re-birth, and something of a return to normality for their supporters, no doubt. To my mind, the Fifers were not embarrassed; certainly there was no player who made continuous glaring errors or looked massively out of their depth. Michael Brown was, as ever, a stellar custodian between the posts, while Darren Smith continues to look like the class act in the midfield for us.
On the way out, I was pleasantly surprised to meet a few friendly Rangers fans, one of whom shook my hand and thanked me for coming. From a look at our forum over the last day or so it would seem the Rangers supporters were, by and large, happy to see us all there, which I guess is decent of them. I still for the life of me don't understand what "We Are the People" means, though. This result was no doubt the start of Rangers' long but inevitable climb back into the Scottish Premier League; one wonders, however, how many of their fans will turn up on a wet December evening against Elgin City when that time comes.
As everyone in the world is aware, Rangers are currently in administration. This has led to the 10 non-Old Firm clubs holding discussions on a number of matters to change, among other things, the voting regime for various decisions the Scottish Premier League ("SPL") has to make.
For any major changes, such as the structure of the league, a majority of 11-1 is currently required for a vote to pass. The "SPL 10" wish to change this structure so that 9-3 will suffice for a structural change.
All at least vaguely laudable – Rangers' financial situation as at least given the other 10 sides a chance to take stock and consider their own financial sustainability. However, this "gang of 10" is being led by Michael Johnston, chairman of League Cup winners Kilmarnock, who this week likened the 10's situation to…. the Arab Spring. So yes, residents of Homs, think of the plight of Inverness Caledonian Thistle not being able to fill their 7,000 capacity stadium next time you step outside your home, rather than selfishly avoiding those shells hitting your neighbourhood.
"The Arab Spring has reached Scotland," Johnston told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme.
If this is the level of the "SPL 10" 's PR initiative, expect that 11-1 structure to remain in place for the next thousand years or so.
This struck me today – Berwick Rangers have a stronger claim to join the EPL than Rangers or Celtic. Discuss.
Rangers or Celtic will win it.


Advances in materials science have given rise to novel materials with unique properties, through the manipulation of structure at the atomic level. Elucidating the shape and form of matter at this scale requires the application of mathematical concepts. This 2006 book presents the geometrical ideas that are being developed and integrated into materials science to provide descriptors and enable visualisation of the atomic arrangements in three-dimensional space. Emphasis is placed on the intuitive understanding of geometrical principles, presented through numerous illustrations. Mathematical complexity is kept to a minimum and only a superficial knowledge of vectors and matrices is required, making this an accessible introduction to the area. With a comprehensive reference list, this book will appeal to those working in crystallography, solid state and materials science.

In the United Kingdom, many people seek help through the use of loans because of each of their financial circumstances. In Red Cross Loans, we understand this which is why we want to help you through our different loan services. We offer you loans such as bad credit loans, logbook loans, personal loans, which are offered in either a secured or unsecured format. We know that it has been hard for people to get loans even when they have to get it immediately but to no avail. Many lending institutions may have not helped them get one. From going in to one lending company to another, we know that many people have done that but still, their application is being denied. Here, we can accept people with poor credit ratings history. Here we know that you need the help to be able to pay your expenses, and by applying for your application here, you will increase your chances to be able to get the loan you need.
However, you need to know that the cost of loans also largely depend on the kind of loan you are aiming for, and also some various factors that will be determined on your application process. For example, personal loans can let you borrow money worth £35,000. You also know how long will you be borrowing money and what each repayment costs monthly. You need to know that even if you are borrowing money for a longer period of time and that it may decrease the amount of your monthly repayments, it gets you to have a massive amount of interest rate that you will have to pay.
There are also cheapest loans you can get under £5,000 which is also the cheapest standard rate in some lending companies. To know about the loan amount that you can be getting, you need to check it on your Loans Eligibility Calculator because it is used by many customers to be able to check their credit rating where they can get the best personal loans and have the best chance to be able to get in. Some loan companies offer a range of loan amounts they can offer but it still subject to the application that you will be filling up. You can apply online in this website and wait for a representative to help you discuss further what you need to know more about these several loan packages you can use.
Some require you to be a homeowner or to be employed, so you must be able to submit all the needed requirements before you can know which loan amount will be the best offer to you. Cost of loans depends on the monthly repayments that a customer will make and also it depends on the period of time of repayment. Be wary of unaccredited sites that will only trick you into getting you to pay hidden charges that are not needed for you to pay when you get a loan.

Welder-turned-millionaire readies for top prize
Interview by Linas Jegelevicius
As smug and boorish Viktor Uspaskich, euro-parliamentarian and chairman of Lithuania's Labor Party may appear to some, to others he is charismatic, outspoken and very bright. In fact, judging from the polls giving the party solid leadership in the pre-election season, the latter opinion may outnumber all the grunters, who are exasperated by the welder-turned-multi-millionaire-and-rugged-party-boss character. His hazy ascent to power is amid accusations of his party's shadow bookkeeping. Last week, Uspaskich sat in an EP session in Strasbourg and hurried back to Lithuania afterward for signing a collaboration agreement in the upcoming parliamentary elections with Seimas' other opposition parties, those that are most likely to form a new ruling coalition. The Baltic Times correspondent sat down with Uspaskich for an interview in his Strasbourg office.
On the Lithuanian stage, you are, excuse my language, a loud mouth, but in Brussels, just a mere bystander, who has submitted very few resolutions and legislation drafts, compared with other Lithuanian MEPs. Do you reckon it makes no sense to speak out in Brussels?
You have quite a strange perception of what makes a good and bad europarliamentarian. Speaking of EP resolutions, heaps of them are drafted and submitted every day. In fact, they go off the printing press by the ton; it is physically impossible to track all of them. To tell the truth, a good deal of them are useless. Second, those that I support and put my signature on do not usually appear as my contribution to the official EP statistics. Believe me, when I find it necessary to speak out on the EP floor, I do so. I am not one of the MEPs who strive to see their names under as many EP papers as possible. In fact, I'd call some of them hypocrites, who do whatever it takes to be in the limelight of the media. There are numbers of such attention seekers both in Brussels and the Lithuanian Seimas. I am not of this kind. Besides, with the numbers of different issues being discussed in Brussels, no one grasps everything, so it makes sense often to keep one's mouth shut.
Your Labor Party has kicked off the electoral campaign early, with a tour across Lithuania. Was it your idea to start it off before anyone else?
A serious party's serious leader has to think of the next election the next day after an election. Otherwise, you cannot even dream of having a good result. That is the tactic we've taken: the earlier, the better. Therefore, we appointed the head of the 2012 Seimas election campaign two years ago, when no other party had done so. We also adopted our party's strategy for the elections. Basically, we are just following it now.
However, the party's foundation rests exceptionally on your personality. No wonder the Labor Party is called a single-person, i.e. your, party. It's hard to believe you haven't weighed in on the program…
Indeed, I've spoken out in regards to its core provisions. But, for the most part, it has been set out by specialists in different fields. When they stitched it up, I just looked through it and asked to redo several things. And I really don't like the Labor party to be called as a single-man's party. Just think of this: could its participation in Seimas, municipal and presidential elections have been successful if the party were, as you say, a single person's entity? Surely not.
However, the party is all about you.
Well, is there anything wrong with that? Tell me any party in the world that wouldn't be identified with its leader? Can you imagine America's Democrat Party without Barack Obama, or Germany's Christian Democrats without Merkel? I can't. Such a party's identification through its leader is a normal thing in the rest of the world but Lithuania. When my rank-and-file calls me a "steam train," I am proud of the moniker.
What do you believe your party's blast-off, to the top of most polls, to be about?
We don't lie.
Are you saying other opposition parties do?
In a span of 22 years of independence, the Labor Party has been in power, together with the Social Democrats, only for one-and-a-half years, to be exact, from 2004 until the middle of 2006. Even without heading the government, we were able to execute many of our electoral promises, like increase the pension, from 372 litas [per month] in 2004 to 800 litas in 2008.
I really doubt whether it's a merit you can chalk up to your party. Those years mark rapid growth in the economy and, as the 2008 crisis has shown, sometimes unwise, budget-wise, allocations for social care.
Well, the economy doesn't grow on its own if there aren't appropriate conditions stimulating its growth. Do look back at what we'd done then. I mean the reduction of income tax, the increase of the minimum wage, as well as the social benefits and, most importantly, the increase of domestic consumption we spurred.
The Labor Party hasn't shaken off the litigation stemming from, presumably, a shadow bookkeeping of its accounts. However, it seems not to have affected the party's standings in the polls. How do you explain that?
Thank God that it hasn't affected, and doesn't affect, the standings. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise me: the public understands that the criminal case against us has been made up from the very beginning. For some reason, with the trial going for over five years, many serious charges, for example fraudulent financial activities, have been dropped as only very few accusations of improper bookkeeping are left. Even if they manage to prove the latter, the party bookkeepers who took care of the accounts should be held responsible for the transgressions, not the party leader. One should think of this: when the Seimas bookkeepers were caught embezzling parliamentary resources, it didn't occur to anyone to charge the Seimas chairwoman with wrongdoing.
You've assumed the same defense as all politicians who happen to brush past the law. Don't you think the biggest problem due to this stance is the public's disdain at criminal justices, which is lately highlighted by the Garliava pedophile drama?
You should address that question to others, not me. On the other hand, do you reckon the public to be so goofy and naive not to discern who is who, and what is behind the things?
It is possible the court will announce its verdict in the Labor Party finance case right before the elections. How are you going to stave off the fallout from a last-minute presumably adverse verdict?
I don't think about this. Let them announce the verdict whenever they want. The timing is important neither to me nor to the party. If they follow world practice, the bookkeepers have to be held in charge for these kinds of things.
But you are also facing the charges, which means you can be sentenced…
Well, the court first has a very uneasy task: to prove that Uspaskichas has put his hands on the party's ostensibly non-transparent accounts. If they dare to penalize me, it will be, most likely, a fine. Sure, I will pay it.
And what happens if they put you behind bars? Furthermore, the European Parliament has stripped you of your parliamentary immunity.
It's not true. The EP has only allowed Lithuania to proceed with the judicial proceedings against me. There was nothing mentioned of my sentencing. If the court ventures to imprison me, Lithuania will have to address the EP again for permission to do so.
Or there's another way to escape the bars: elected to Seimas, you are seemingly to form a new ruling coalition which, of course, wouldn't strip you of your MP immunity…
Let's wait a bit and see what will happen. I'm sure you will see the outcome as well.
In any case, it seems unlikely you will have to flee to hide in Russia, something you did in 2006 after the news of the Labor Party shadow bookkeeping news broke out.
Mister journalist, you are talking crap and messing up everything terribly… To remind you and everybody, I've never fled to Russia to hide myself from anyone, including the Lithuanian criminal justices. Indeed, I did go to Russia in 2006 after my brother died in a fire in our family house. Throughout the stay, I hadn't been approached by Lithuanian prosecutors in any way. It is strange you haven't heard that before.
But you stayed there one-and-a-half years, not two months!
I stayed as long as I needed.
Speaking of dodging court orders, the Garliava pedophilia drama has gone beyond the law, entangling parties and all politicians. What side of the barricades are you on?
Neither. I don't participate and avoid being linked to events which, for a bunch of people, serve as a political stage at the expense of the child's health and wellbeing. Alas, the Lithuanian reality is such that there are a lot of children who are being beaten, raped and uncared for, but who, unlike the girl in Garliava, haven't received any help. Whatever angle you take, there have been obviously a lot more politics than child rights in Garliava.
If nothing extraordinary happens, you are likely to form, with other opposition parties, a new government after the elections. Did you agree with Algirdas Butkevicius, the Social Democrats' leader, who will assume the prime minister's post?
Let's wait for the fall first. However, I am ready to become the new government's prime minister. And let me tell you this: I will be the best and most effective prime minister Lithuania has ever had. We've agreed that the leader of the party, which will garner the voters' biggest support, will stay at the wheel of the new government. Butkevicius, I have to admit, would also make a good prime minister.
What are three jobs you are to take on first in the capacity?
First, we'd raise the minimal wage up to 1,200 litas and hike it till 1,500 litas from 2013.
That sounds like election bait! The national budget is too tight for it; I am sure you know that.
No, you're wrong, or maybe too brainwashed by the talk of the incumbent prime minister and his finance minister. Believe me, that wouldn't cost as much as they estimate. In fact, I've spoken to business; entrepreneurs agree already now to raise it up to 1,200 litas. The measure would automatically regulate a volatile market.
We'd see less pay off the books and a lesser volume of the shadow economy.
However, the trade-unions stand for a more moderate increase, to 900 litas. Are they also fools?
The bottom line is none of the government ministers have created a work place. They do not grasp the simplest things of how economy works.
What would be your second job as PM?
We'd set up favorable competitive conditions for entrepreneurs and industrialists, who are involved in producing a significant part of the state's accumulative output, i.e. who earn hard currency in foreign markets and who compete with imports in the domestic market. The third, immediate job would be creating new jobs.
When it comes to taxes, we'd reduce them first for those who earn hard currency in the markets. However, some taxes will have to be hiked.
Undoubtedly, you don't feel any fascination with the incumbent PM, Kubilius. However, you have to credit the government for not putting Lithuania in a position similar to that of Greece.
And we have to credit it for the massive emigration, shrunk domestic consumption, high unemployment and desperation as well. Don't we? As a matter of fact, Kubilius didn't hold off the 2008 crisis. What he in fact did was borrow. No big brain is needed for that. Fortunately, being unable to create anything, he did quite well in putting the whole nation on a starvation diet, sincerely convinced that this was the only way to get through. No doubt the damage of the policies will cripple him and his party in the upcoming elections.
Will you pursue the implementation of the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant project if you end up at the wheel of the new government?
First, I'll have to make sure myself that the project is economically reasonable. It won't take me long, as I'll have to take a look only at a few numbers. Now it seems the government is in a desperate pursuit of achieving energy independence, making Lithuania dependent on other countries' financial input into the project for many years to come. It's not the way we all have to go. Speaking of nuclear safety, the future, with possibly two other nuclear power plants near our borders, promises nothing good. If they blow up, they will blow all of us up, regardless of whether we have our own nuke or not. If Lithuanian politics with the neighbors had been smarter, we may have avoided the risk. Now I am afraid it's too late.

Q: How to handle child windows with POO and Tkinter? I am using POO and Tkinter; and in each class I am creating a new window. and every time I invoke a class a new window should be created. The problem is that when I run the program, the main window overlaps the secondary one, preventing the secondary window (classA or classB) from completing the processes that I place because each one has its own methods. Please I need help.
class claseA:
        def __init__(self):
        self.ventanai=tk.Tk()
        #self.ventanai = window

Fernando Santos has named another strong squad for their double header, which involves a beautiful blend of the old guard and the next generation of Portuguese talent.
The squad is headlined by none other than captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who is both their most capped player and all-time top scorer. CR7 enjoyed another successful season in 2019/20, scoring 31 goals on the way to winning a second consecutive Scudetto with Juventus.
He is joined by Pepe and João Moutinho as members of the squad to have earned over 100 caps for A Seleção. The latter of which is also a member of the cohort of Wolverhampton Wanderers players in the squad. Wolves – with Moutinho, Rui Patricio, Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota – are the most represented club in the squad of the reigning European champions.
The future of Portugal is also well represented in the latest squad. With uncapped 20-year-old Trincão, who joined Barcelona from Braga over summer in a deal worth £28m, accompanied by Atletico Madrid starlet João Félix.
Though he is yet to score for the national side, Félix will have to fancy his chances against what is arguably a weak Croatian squad.
Zlatko Dalić, who led Croatia to a shock World Cup final appearance in 2018, has been left without both his captain and vice-captain for their opening Nations League fixtures.
Despite being named in the initial 24-man squad, both 2019 Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric and central midfield partner Ivan Rakitic have dropped out – whilst Wolfsburg centre-back Marin Pongračić has been ruled out with an illness.
There could be further issues for the Vatreni's opening fixture too. Ivan Perišić and Marcelo Brozović, having appeared in the Champions League and Europa League finals respectively just two weeks previous, were given extra time-off and could be rested for the opening game.
This, in my opinion, gives Portugal a clear edge over their opponents. As does their imperious home form. Since October 2008, they've lost just once in 33 competitive games on Portuguese soil.
Led by the ever reliable Cristiano Ronaldo, supplied by the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, expect Portugal to take the initiative in defending their Nations League crown.
Back Portugal to win at evens.

L-arginine is an amino acid in the body which produces Nitric Oxide (NO) . NO is an excellent Pre-Workout because it is a vasodilator. Vasodilators dilates blood vessels. Nitric oxide is the muscle's cell-signaling molecule responsible for blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, power output, and muscle growth. An L Arginine Supplement is considered the best pre workout supplement available because it is a nitric oxide booster which is very beneficial for giving you oxygen delivery during a tough workout. L Arginine benefits are many and Nitric Oxide Supplements are in high demand, see what it offers below!
Increased Recovery Rates – increased blood flow, oxygen delivery, resulting in more nutrients delivered post workout.
Enhanced Endurance and Performance – because endurance performance is heavily dependent on blood flow delivering oxygen (especially during rigorous endurance sports or training).
Increased Availability of Energy – better blood flow helps to regulate your bodies temperature.
Increased Muscle Pump – post workout, so you'll be looking your best.
There have been many clinical studies investigating the effects of L-Arginine on Aerobic Capacity, Bodybuilding, Stamina and many more. Through these studies, there has been many positive results that have come out of this research for the effectiveness of L-Arginine as a NO2 Booster.
Through the studies, researchers have demonstrated an increase in post-exercise nitrate excretion resulting in positive results for aerobic capacity. L-arginine also enhanced the synthesis of endothelium derived relaxing factors. This promotes muscle relaxation through a process of affecting the interior surface of blood vessels. This would also help explain what Nitric Ignite helps to enhance endurance and reduces fatigue for endurance athletes!
Many studies have found that L-arginine dietary supplements enhance the production of nitric oxide in the body which will significantly increase stamina. Stamina is critical for athletes for high intensity exercise. Work a lot smarter, not harder and get the better results! These same studies have shown that athletes taking L-arginine were able to exercise 20% longer than the placebo group.
These clinical studies have a profound effect on bodybuilders. If you are able to spend more time in the gym, eat right, take quality sports supplements like Nitric Ignite and perform more repetitions, you're going to get better results! With nitric oxide you will also be able to get that muscle pump you are looking for from your workouts. Overall, L-Arginine is a great addition to your Sports Supplement nutritional supplements regimen and Eiyo Nutrition's product: Nitric Ignite will help get you over the finish line!
