Circumstantial evidence key in Nashville murder case
Stacey Barchenger
sbarchenger@tennessean.com
A man accused of killing a Nashville woman whose body has not been found has been scheduled to stand trial April 24.
Criminal Court Judge Cheryl Blackburn on Friday scheduled the trial date for Caleb Cannon in the last of a three-part hearing dealing with attorneys' motions about what evidence can be used in that trial.
Cannon, 35, was indicted in October on a charge of murder and accused of killing Nichole "Nikki" Burgess, an ex-girlfriend with whom he has a son. Burgess, 37, disappeared on Memorial Day weekend in 2014. Her body has not been found.
The state is building a case that will rely on circumstantial evidence: that one of Burgess' last text messages described Cannon at her home "being a d---," and that cadaver dogs alerted to the scent of human decomposition in areas where Cannon told a cellmate the killing occurred.
Those will go to corroborate the jail cellmate's testimony that Cannon described beating Burgess in her bedroom, strangling her with a cord, leaving her body in a bathtub and later driving the body to dispose of it.
The validity of the work of the cadaver dogs, however, is disputed by lawyers and is under evaluation by Blackburn. At a Friday hearing she took that issue and others under advisement and said she would rule at a future date whether a jury can hear that evidence. Among the issues she will decide:
Cadaver dogs: Cannon's lawyer, Jim Todd, argues that the dogs' detection of the scent of human decomposition does not indicate a body was there. He said dogs would alert even if a body part that is decomposing was left by a living person, for example, hair in the bathtub. Assistant District Attorney General Katy Miller disputes Todd's claims that the dogs are not certified or are not reliable. She says the jury should know the dogs alerted to the scent of decomposition in Burgess' bathroom to corroborate the cellmate's testimony.
Text message: Burgess sent one of her final text messages to a friend. It read: "Yes, he's here and he's being a d---." Miller said that corroborates the cellmate's testimony that Cannon was angry and snapped and killed Burgess. Todd argues that is hearsay and should not be allowed into the trial.
Book: A police detective seized several books from Cannon's apartment, including "Unfinished Canvas," a book about the 2006 trial of Perry March in the disappearance of his wife, Janet. Miller says the book corroborates the cellmate's testimony that Cannon studied the March case. Defense lawyers say the book is irrelevant and suggested detectives were placing too much weight on the significance of this book.

Gravett Island, located at coordinates 18 136 128, was an isolated and uninhabited island located in Earth's South Pacific.
After having traveled back in time from 2373 to 2063, the USS Enterprise-E was nearly overrun by the Borg. Captain Jean-Luc Picard initiated the ship's auto-destruct sequence and evacuated his crew to Gravett Island, and ordered Commander Riker's group, which was located in Bozeman, Montana at the time, to find a "quiet corner of North America and stay out of history's way."

What Are the Different Classes of Felonies in Colorado? I've Heard My Case Referred to as an "F3" Or Similar Number - What Does This Mean?
I've Been Charged with A Felony in Colorado. What Is Going to Happen in My Case?
Will I Need to Have a Disposition Hearing?
What Do I Need to Know About a Felony Trial?
I've Been Accused of a Felony in Colorado. What Should I Do?
A felony is any crime punishable by imprisonment lasting one year or longer. Commonly known types of felonies include murder, robbery, arson, kidnapping, and selling certain illegal drugs.
To set up a free initial consultation with an experienced felony defense attorney, e-mail us or call us at 719-475-2555 today.
A misdemeanor is a crime that is generally considered less serious than a felony, but is still a behavior the law seeks to prevent. Both felonies and misdemeanors are crimes, but the punishment for a misdemeanor is typically limited to less than a year. Most people serving time for a misdemeanor are held in county jails, while those serving time for a felony are held in state or federal prisons.
Colorado felonies are arranged by class, with class 1 or "F1" felonies being the most serious and class 6 or "F6" felonies being the least serious. The classes are used in sentencing to set the length of any prison sentence and/or the amount of any fines. Judges and attorneys may refer to the class of a felony by its number, such as "F3," as a shorthand way of saying "class 3 felony."
The first step in a Colorado felony case is the filing of charges. At this stage, you will get a chance to hear the charges against you and enter a plea. It's wise to enter a plea of "not guilty" at this point, since you likely haven't had a chance to investigate your case yet. However, consulting with a defense lawyer before entering a plea is advised. A bail amount may also be set, along with a date for your preliminary hearing, if applicable.
Anyone charged with a class 3 or higher felony in Colorado has a right to a preliminary hearing. The preliminary hearing is held in court, and its purpose is to give the prosecutor a chance to show that, more likely than not, a crime occurred, and it is more likely than not, that you committed it. To do this, the prosecutor may call witnesses or submit evidence to the court, similar to the way these things are done in a full-fledged trial. It is extremely important to have an experienced Colorado Springs felony defense lawyer on your side during this process in order to counter the prosecutor's version of events and to protect your legal rights during the hearing.
It depends. If you're charged with a class 4, 5, or 6 felony, you have a right to a disposition hearing, which gives your attorney the chance to talk to the prosecuting attorney and gives you the chance to plead guilty or no contest, if you wish to do so. It is best to have an attorney at this stage who can protect you from making any incriminating statements to the prosecutor that might hurt your case later.
Before your trial, there may be one or more pre-trial hearings, especially if the facts in your case indicate your constitutional rights have been violated. Your attorney and the prosecutor will discuss issues related to evidence and other aspects of your case with the judge in order to ensure that any violations of your rights are addressed before they can do any more damage to your case and to correct any existing damage.
Your trial is the stage at which the prosecutor must prove your guilt in court. Each criminal charge in Colorado is broken down into basic parts called elements. The prosecutor is responsible for proving each element of each charge beyond a reasonable doubt. If he cannot do so, you cannot be convicted. Meanwhile, your Colorado criminal defense attorney fights to ensure that your rights are recognized and that any holes in the prosecutor's case are made clear to the judge and jury.
If you are convicted of a felony at trial, you will move on to the sentencing phase, in which the court decides what penalties you must face as a result of your conviction. Felony penalties typically include imprisonment and fines, though they may also include probation, community corrections, and other options, depending on the circumstances of your case. You may also be able to appeal your Colorado felony sentence.
Seek the help of a Colorado felony defense lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner an experienced defense attorney begins working on your case, the more time you and your attorney have to address any constitutional rights violations and build an aggressive defense that fights for the best possible outcome in your case.
Attorney Timothy Bussey has served as both a Colorado prosecutor and an Air Force Judge Advocate. Now, as an experienced Colorado Springs felony criminal defense attorney, Mr. Bussey at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. provides aggressive legal defenses to those accused of felonies in Colorado. Contact the firm today at (719) 475-2555 for a free and confidential consultation.

Their mullets may be long gone, and no longer do their baggy Starter warm-up jackets fit. But the TV analysts at Major League Baseball's MLB Network are getting a little "1980s nostalgic" and are bringing out the flair if not the hair just ahead of baseball's final push to the playoffs.
This week, the baseball television network has rolled out its new promo for its show "MLB Tonight," featuring a REO Speedwagon's classic Eighties anthem.
Shot with slow-motion photography, the spot titled MLB Tonight "Can't Fight This Feeling," features a humorous look at the passion of pennant chase baseball. Featuring MLB Network's Mark DeRosa, Cliff Floyd, Al Leiter, Kevin Millar, Dan Plesac, Harold Reynolds and Bill Ripken – former pros with a combined 19 postseason appearances – the video depicts analysts as mere fans losing control of their emotions.
But for all his fandom and formative years next to a Sears turntable and double stereo speakers, DeRosa laments missing the big in-studio gig.
There is perhaps no better time than right now for the Major League Baseball to dream a little bit of the 1980s. Baseball's newest crop of exciting, up-and-coming stars looks like a throwback to other times. Players such as the New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, and Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant conjure up thoughts of '80s stars like Dave Winfield, Dwight Evans, and Mike Schmidt. Yet, DeRosa hints that the change of seasons helps make baseball feel even more electric.
"I came up in the Braves organization, and all I ever knew was winning division titles and playing in the postseason. It was about getting through 162 games, staying healthy, and getting to October." DeRosa says that much of what gets baseball fans excited about the fall, too, is its unpredictable nature.
Buttressing DeRosa's point is the fact that many times teams that are the darkhorse during the regular season outperform in October. In the last 15 years 10 MLB wildcard teams have appeared in the World Series, and five have won. Meanwhile, the game of baseball continues to transform.

Hey guys, long time listener, first time commenter. Anyway I just wanted to voice my opinion on the departure of Solomon Crowe from the WWE system. I think its a damn shame that he didn't get the opportunity to be highlighted more. He had a somewhat strong debut, a pretty cool gimmick if they presented it right, had some quality matches on NXT TV ( ex. vs Kevin Owens) then he fell to the wayside from there. It is a loss on NXT's part, but also a gain to the Independent Wrestling Scene. As we have seen already, Sami is already smearing his name on the indie scene. What I think should happen is Sami should become the new King of the Indies. I feel like there was been a lack of that in the past few years. One wrestler to go all over the place and win everything. You saw that when Steen was on the Indies and the Bucks weren't tied down to just NJPW and ROH, those guys were at every decently big promotions winning belts. I feel that this is a perfect time to have one of those guys. Sami comes back to the indies, with some WWE time under his belt, full of piss and vinegar and takes over. We have seen it already with him winning the 2CW championship, and it just starts there. Get him back to everywhere he was before leaving and back on his throne as the new king of the indies. Brandon will probably hate this idea. Cool.

Hey Brandon and Dave!
As always, hope you're both well. With all the chaos with the ratings going up and down, do you guys agree that ratings going down is kind of a good thing – it's in my opinion the best way to tell creative what they're doing is wrong and to change it up.
It's honestly infuriating to me that during all the matches with the LON, WWE don't focus on Ambrose or the Usos at all, but always "Oh Reigns is in the shit now!"… Even when Reigns isn't even in the match!! It's like they're trying to troll the fans.
Hope you both have a great upcoming week,
Ben 🙂

Stealing to the sound of music
VK Music app steals user accounts
By Roman Unuchek on October 15, 2015. 10:04 am
According to the old Chinese saying, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. And our path to revealing large-scale theft of VKontakte users' personal data began with an email from a user asking us to take a look at a suspicious app.
At first glance, the VK Music app only displayed legitimate functionality – it played audio files uploaded to the social network. But further study showed that it also contained malicious code designed to steal VKontakte user accounts and promote certain groups on the social network.
VK Music was available for download at the official Google Play app store. By our estimates, the attackers could have used the app to steal hundreds of thousands accounts from users of the social network.
How this malicious program works
Immediately after running, VK Music asks users to enter their login and password for their VKontakte account so that the app can function on the site.
After users enter their login details the app sends them to the legitimate authentication server oauth.vk.com. If authentication is successful, the user can listen to music uploaded to the social network. At the same time, a Trojan sends the verified login and password to a cybercriminal server in ordinary text.
It should be noted that this method of transferring the logins and passwords could also result in them being used by other criminals, because the secure HTTPS protocol is not used.
The Trojan then contacts its server for a list of groups to be promoted by the attackers and immediately adds the stolen accounts to these groups.
In addition to promoting groups, the attackers can change passwords and use stolen accounts at their own discretion: we know of cases when victims of the Trojan lost access to their accounts on VKontakte after a period of time.
Mass infection
As mentioned above, VK Music could be downloaded from the official Google Play store. Such apps are very popular among Android users.
The first version of the malicious VK Music app known to us was published on Google Play on 16 August 2015. Then the versions were modified every 6-10 days. Only the package name differed for all the versions – the functionality remained unchanged.
The latest version known to us was published on 4 October. It was at least the seventh version of the malicious application; the earlier six modifications were removed by Google. At the same time, according to data in the Trojan code, it was the 15th version of the application. We cannot confirm that all those versions were published on Google Play; we have only seen seven of them.
What makes the situation worse is the ease with which the fraudsters upload every new version of the Trojan in place of those that are blocked.
By the next day the version published on 4 October already had an average score of 4.5 with more than 600 user ratings.
According to Google Play, the latest version was downloaded by between 100 000 and 500 000 users in just two days. Our data suggests that one of the earlier versions was 10 times as popular, meaning that version alone could have infected hundreds of thousands of devices.
For the user, the theft of his VKontakte authorization data will go unnoticed until the criminals decide to use the data and change the login/password or start sending spam from a stolen account.
We urge users to be careful and not to enter their login details in third-party apps. If you have installed VK Music or a similar app for listening to music on VKontakte, we strongly recommend you remove it and immediately change the login and password to your account on the network.
We reported the latest version of the malicious app to Google, and it has been removed. The groups promoted by the Trojan were blocked by the social network's administration, whom we also informed.
All versions of the malicious application are detected by Kaspersky Lab products as Trojan-PSW.AndroidOS.MyVk.a.
Special thanks to Alexander Denkov for his help in detecting this malware.

As ski racing shifts into summer training mode, and athletes head around the globe in search of snow, it's darned refreshing to see how one of the world's best SL skiers puts together a high level/low budget training program. Robby Kelley's custom made Redneck Racing summer schedule is heavy on hard work and creativity and extremely light on the Dijon.
As part of the Cochran Clan—the Patron Saints of grass roots development, maximizing resources and DIY training—Kelley is in his third year of independent training through Redneck Racing. Ranked 39th in the world in SL, Kelley is the third ranked American slalom skier and a top prospect for the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang. Ever since turning down his US Ski Team nomination in 2015-16, however, he has been committed to pursuing the ski racing dream entirely on his own program.
Kelley kept it going with a May 21 camping/SL trip up Mt Mansfield with cousin (and current US Ski Team athlete) Ryan Cochran-Siegle and former Redneck teammate Andrew McNealus. The 30-gate slalom that danced along a knife-edge then plunged down Nosedive made Kitzbuhel and Wengen look like an Autobahn.
From there, Kelley headed a bit further south and took full advantage of Killington's regular season, and the free lift tickets on Closing Day, June 1. The lifts ceased spinning, but a snowpatch endured, so Kelley and fellow Redneck Tucker Marshall returned on June 4. Arriving before sunrise, they hiked their gates and salt up the mountain, and set an 18-gate slalom—unfinishable by mere mortals—down the gritty, salted moguls of Superstar.
With gusto and some serious retraction skills, Kelley and Marshall made ten runs by 10 am. By the time an employee with the unmistakable look of imminent buzz-kill made his way to the bottom of their course, they were done. Winter 2017—featuring skiing, conditions and terrain worthy of the hardiest Vermonter—was over.
I caught up with Robby to recap the Spring Tour and find out what's in store for summer.
I have to say, that training looked hairy, and probably really good for your skiing. How tough was it?
How much dryland training did you get out of the deal?
In late April you advertised your services on facebook: coaching experience and World Cup pace in exchange for summer training. How did that campaign go and where are you headed this summer?
We hear a lot about pace, and needing to be with faster skiers to get better. As one of the best SL skiers in the world, how do you get pace?
Your drone footage of snow/grass skiing last spring was impressive. It inspired some copy cat adventures too. Who has the drone?
Did you get a lot of donations after posting this year's footage?
What are some ways you make it work going it alone as you have chosen to do?
*even if that means driving a convertible sports car in Slovenia midwinter.
Why do you prefer the Redneck Way, vs. the advantages and ease of being on the US Ski Team?
I've seen some descriptions of the Redneck Racing ideals. The term "scrappy" comes up a lot. How do you define a Redneck?
You're doing this as an independent, but you're quick to say that you're not doing this alone. Can you explain?
Follow Robby and Redneck Racing on Facebook, Instagram, at snooprobbyrobby and wherever else you see fast, scrappy skiers dressed in flannel and driving cheap rental cars. And if you believe in the Redneck spirit, by all means share the love!
Thanks Pat! It's hard not to love the Redneck approach and sensibility. Thanks for reading and sharing!
Seeing Robby & Ryan at The Sugar Slalom was really cool. The kids enjoyed, even the big kids like me.
They really do pay it back and forward. Coming out to forerun and race at home is cool for all. Glad you got to experience that and thanks for reading!
This has got to be one of the best articles written on Ski Racing for the Common Man. This is the way we do it in New England! "Scrappy". Nice one Edie.

Role of Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase in Oxidative Metabolism of Voriconazole by Human Liver Microsomes

Voriconazole is a potent second-generation triazole antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against clinically important fungi. It is cleared predominantly via metabolism in all species tested including humans. N-Oxidation of the fluoropyrimidine ring, its hydroxylation, and hydroxylation of the adjacent methyl group are the known pathways of voriconazole oxidative metabolism, with the N-oxide being the major circulating metabolite in human. In vitro studies have shown that CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent CYP2C9 contribute to the oxidative metabolism of voriconazole. When cytochrome P450 (P450)-specific inhibitors and antibodies were used to evaluate the oxidative metabolism of voriconazole by human liver microsomes, the results suggested that P450-mediated metabolism accounted for ∼75% of the total oxidative metabolism. The studies presented here provide evidence that the remaining ∼25% of the metabolic transformations are catalyzed by flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO). This conclusion was based on the evidence that the NADPH-dependent metabolism of voriconazole was sensitive to heat (45°C for 5 min), a condition known to selectively inactivate FMO without affecting P450 activity. The role of FMO in the metabolic formation of voriconazole N-oxide was confirmed by the use of recombinant FMO enzymes. Kinetic analysis of voriconazole metabolism by FMO1 and FMO3 yielded Km values of 3.0 and 3.4 mM and Vmax values of 0.025 and 0.044 pmol/min/pmol, respectively. FMO5 did not metabolize voriconazole effectively. This is the first report of the role of FMO in the oxidative metabolism of voriconazole.

Q: How I change the color with expression rdlc I need to change the color of my report.rdlc to Red when the fields!Date.Value = "Sunday" and the fields!start.Value > 22 and fields!finish.value < 5.
I tried to use
=IIf(Hour(fields!start.Value) > 22,"Red","Black")

but I don't know how I do the others cases. I am starting to report expressions now.

A: It should be very similar to any other logical expression.  Just group all your conditions in parenthesis and if they are all true the action will happen so for your case try this...
=IIf(()Hour(fields!start.Value) > 22) AND
    (Hour(fields!start.Value) < 5) AND
    (fields!Date.Value = "Sunday")),"Red","Black")

Midterm primary elections results from Ohio have come in and Nan Whaley won the Democratic pass to contest the gubernatorial elections in November. Whaley will go against Mike DeWine, the incumbent Republican governor of the state.
Nan Whaley, the former mayor of Dayton, became the first woman in Ohio's history to get support from a major party. The 46-year-old beat John Cranley in Tuesday's primary elections. Whaley had the support of the state's top Democrat, United States Senator Sherrod Brown, a popular household name, while Cranley had the backing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

DeWine's bid to secure the gubernatorial ticket from the GOP did not come cheap. The current governor had to pour millions in advertising to overcome his falling approval ratings.
A crowded race in the Republican party split the conservative vote four ways, with DeWine taking the lion's share. Former US Representative Jim Renacci, former state Representative Ron Hood and farmer Joe Blystone were the top contenders.
DeWine's, who has a 40-year political career in Ohio– linked his struggle to the backlash he received after imposing COVID-19 shutdowns and mandates in 2020.
Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan, meanwhile, cruised his way to his party's nomination for an open Senate seat Tuesday and will now take on the winner of one of the most contentious and closely watched Republican primaries in the nation.

Ryan was heavily favored to win his three-way Democratic primary against progressive Morgan Harper, a former consumer protection attorney, and Columbus activist and tech executive Traci Johnson, according to reports from Associated Press.
Ryan, a 10-term Democratic congressman, has tried to distance himself from the national Democratic Party ahead of what is expected to be a brutal November for Democrats. Campaigning in sweatshirts and baseball caps, he has fashioned himself as a blue-collar crusader fighting for working families.

The Mormon Hemingway
We are saddened to report the passing of Douglas Thayer on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. He was a beloved writer and mentor to many. A tribute to his life and literature can be found here.
In September 2017, Doug Thayer visited BYU campus to discuss his education and professional journey to becoming an award-winning author for at English Reading Series.
PROVO, Utah (Sept. 15, 2017)—At the first English Reading Series of the fall semester, the guest of honor shuffled in wearing a black, brimmed hat and holding a caramel-colored cane, arm in arm with his wife. He was greeted in turn by professors from the College of Humanities. Eagerly, they waited to introduce themselves as his former students, some of them perhaps seeing in him what they aspire to be. Doug Thayer is, according to his website, "considered one of the foremost fiction writers exploring contemporary Mormon life. He has been called the Mormon Hemingway for his straightforward style and powerful prose." Having taught at BYU for 54 years, this literary powerhouse now speaks in a voice barely above a whisper and holds the podium with shaking hands, but it is clear he is just as revered as ever among the audience members.
As he recounts a brief history of his life, the phrase, "I did a lot of drifting in those days," stands out. He dropped out of high school to join the army when he was 17 years old and was stationed in Germany. After the war, he returned to Germany as a Mormon missionary. Upon his return, the aspiring writer majored in English, which in retrospect, he mused, "[was] not necessarily a good choice. There are a lot of other things you can major in—physics, chemistry—things that teach you about what's going on in the world."
After teaching at BYU for three years, it was suggested he pursue his doctorate. He remembers, "I thought, 'Well, why not?' It was always so casual." After a short stint at the University of Maryland, he realized he didn't actually want a PhD in English; he wanted to write, not research. Eventually, he earned an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Iowa and returned as a professor to BYU, where he taught for the majority of his career.
His love of writing over research is not unique. "Students would tell me that's what they want to do," he remembered. "They'd want to major in creative writing and become writers. They [didn't] have much interest in becoming PhDs." He continued, "Why are people so interested in becoming writers? What motivates them? I'm not quite sure what the answer is, but I do know that . . . they want to do something . . . dynamic."
Thayer has certainly accomplished that goal, writing many short stories, novellas, and novels, dealing with themes from faith to fishing to war. He has won numerous awards, such as the Utah Institute of Fine Arts Award in the Short Story and the 2008 Smith-Pettit Foundation Award for Outstanding Contribution to Mormon Letters. Despite all of the recognition, Thayer has maintained his relatability. "Brother Melrose," the short story he read from, is about a man coming back from the dead to his small community for a day, and it features animals, children, and family life—all widely accessible themes to his audience. Thayer is a prime example of the encouragement that Bruce Jorgensen, professor of English at BYU, gave to students at the end of the hour. "I want to encourage those of you who want to write. It takes a long time. Sometimes six, eight, ten years of hard work before you can finally see that you're becoming a writer. That you know what you're doing. That people are beginning to appreciate [you]."

I would normally advise to cut out the browned leaves, all the way down. But from the photo it appears that would be a big job and would mean 50% of the foliage.
Cutting the entire bed down is possible, and with good water management and fertilization, next spring and summer it will start to come back. But it may take a couple of years to recover completely.

Borussia Dortmund: Has their tactical approach matured under Lucien Favre?
Borussia Dortmund had a flying start to the season. The new manager Lucien Favre has established his football vision and managed to create a well balanced team with a great style of play. A mix of experience and rough talent has been the perfect solution to their Bundesliga struggles. Despite some of them being quite risky, making a few transfer moves made the difference and improved their squad immensely.
Their performance during the first half of the season was superb as they won 15 of their first 19 games in the Bundesliga, including a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich. After the first half of the season, things started to fall apart. They seem to have lost their way and allowed the Bavarians to overtake them at the top of the table.
After the 25th round, both teams are level on points with goal difference keeping them apart. They have won only one game in their last eight fixtures in all competitions, including getting knocked out of the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League round of 16. The Black and Yellows' only chance to win a trophy is under threat and despite the undeniably talented squad, there is still a lot to be worked on.
Their struggles in turning the huge amount of created chances into goals might be central to their downfall, despite having the likes of Marco Reus, Mario Goetze, Paco Alcacer and former Manchester City youngster Jadon Sancho in front of goal. The team is producing a fairly high amount of shots per game with half of them being on target, but yet a lack of good finishing has been the main reason for them being knocked out of the cup competitions.
But what went wrong, and will this turn of events actually help Lucien Favre's side take some rest and focus on the Bundesliga challenge?
Lucien Favre's impact
The Swiss coach took over in the summer and transformed Borussia into an unstoppable goal-scoring machine. Lucien Favre's approach to the transfer market boosted the squad's quality noticeably and turned it into a confident, well balanced title contender. Not only did the team receive additional firepower up front, but the defenisve line was reinforced too.
Borussia Dortmund's goal time distribution. [SofaScore]
Dortmund have scored in 23 out of 25 games in the championship this campaign but only kept seven clean sheets. The Black and Yellows average 12.84 shots per 90 minutes with 43.9% of them being on target. It results in them scoring 2.44 goals on average per Bundesliga match.
Favre's tactics of building attacks patiently and relying on a clinical finish have worked wonders. This has been a result of his consistency when it comes to team and formation selections. Half of the teams' goals have come in the last 30 minutes of the games which is part of the Swiss' strategy to control the game and then attack from deep or counter-attack.
After Witsel dropped back and recovered possession, the team started a counter-attack. Alcacer also dropped in order to receive the ball.
He freed himself of his marker with a combination of on and off the ball movement. Once he passed to Sancho, he was able to make a run towards goal, joined by Weigl.
Their overall pass accuracy rate is 87.6% which is actually another result of the intelligent moves on the transfer market. Let's see why.
The new manager addressed the team's weaknesses. One of the best decisions he made was bringing Belgium international Axel Witsel on board. His impact on the team's performance has been extremely noticeable as he owns the central areas. Witsel has been responsible for providing support to the back four but also for being a creative force during build-up phases.
Axel Witsel's 2018/19 heatmap. [Wyscout]
His passing accuracy rate has been impressive, averaging 72.8 passes per 90 minutes with 95% accuracy (92% of his passes to the final third have been accurate too). This shows his importance to the team's build-up play, but also in terms of maintaining possession in midfield. Unsurprisingly, this is Dortmund's preferred action zone. Witsel's support to the defensive line results in 8.9 recoveries on average.
Witsel's contribution to the build-up. The team tried to attack from the back and Witsel had a crucial role; he received the ball and immediately found an opened space to exploit.
It resulted in a well measured through ball to Reus between Werder's defenders. In the picture above you can also see Bremen's 5-3-2 structure out of possession which was the main reason for the game going to extra time.
Abdou Diallo and Achraf Hakimi
Having Abdou Diallo and loanee Achraf Hakimi has increased Dortmund's stability at the back. Not only do they provide the necessary defensive contribution but their connection is crucial when forming attacks.

In the image above from the draw against Hoffenheim, you can clearly see the most frequent passing links. It turns out that having Diallo at centre-back favours Hakimi's forward runs which most of the time end with a pass to Witsel, who can then distribute the ball further more efficiently.
A showcase of these passing links: a series of passes between Hakimi, Diallo and Witsel keeps possession for longer periods of time.
Keeping Hakimi might be crucial for the team's future efforts. Averaging 4.32 interceptions and 8.48 recoveries he is extremely important for Dortmund's defensive actions. In addition to that, his dribbling helps during transitions and are the reason for his successful runs on the flank. In the same game against Hoffenheim, for example, he managed to successfully dribble past his opponents seven times.
Hakimi opens the scoring against Hannover. After dribbling past his marker and then making a one-touch combination with Guerreiro (and thanks to his off the ball movement), he scored a great goal from the edge of the box.
The team has the third best defensive record this season behind Bayern Munich. They have conceded 28 and 27 goals respectively, with only RB Leipzig topping their achievements allowing only 20 goals. One reason for that record is that the team presses less in the opposition's half which allows them to structure better during defensive transitions.
He is arguably the player with the biggest impact on the team's attacking ventures. Bearing in mind Favre mostly uses him as a force from the bench he has often turned games in Dortmund's favour. The Spaniard has been included in the starting XI just seven times in the Bundesliga but yet somehow averages 3.3 shots per 90 minutes and has scored 14 goals.
Seven of them were scored in his first four games, and even more impressively he scored them with his only seven shots on target. They came in only 106 minutes of play which is a record for the best start in the top flight. His flair for finding gaps and moving to free himself of his markers is one of the reasons he has been so important in the final third. He sometimes drops back and provides high quality through-balls to his teammates.
Instead of playing through the middle, Alcacer drops back and delivers a smart one-touch pass to Sancho changing the angle of attack immediately. Then the Englishman uses his pace to go deep in the opposition's half and assist.
He fits perfectly into Dortmund's 4-2-3-1 formation where they use a lone striker with strong on and off the ball abilities. The player at the tip of the attack has to have great positional sense and move off the ball in order to create space for the players behind.
But they also need a player with explosiveness and good finishing waiting on the edge of the box to receive the ball on counters. Alcacer supports the team by applying high press and tends to recover the ball quite often.
His intelligent off the ball movement in combination with Goetze's passing ability results in a goal against Augsburg.
The most discussed player throughout the season is the 18-year-old Jadon Sancho. He has taken the Bundesliga by a storm, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists in his first season with the team so far. The combination of great off-the-ball movement and undeniably strong ball control have brought him under the spotlight in the blink of an eye.
Another example of Sancho's outstanding abilities on and off the ball.
His positional versatility has been of great help to the teams' attacking actions. His pace, dribbling and creativity have served the lone striker well, in most of the cases Marco Reus. He and Alcacer are third and fourth in the league's leading goalscorers table.
What went wrong in the knockout competitions?
Despite creating a crazy amount of shots Dortmund struggled to find the perfect finish in the Champions League against Tottenham. They were knocked out 4-0 on aggregate largely down to their failure to convert all those chances into goals. Of course that also has to do with Hugo Lloris' outstanding performance in both legs, and yet it is more of a Dortmund problem.
Against Spurs, they produced 25 shots (12 of them on target) and none of them ended up with a goal. This might be a result of switching between formations; the Champions League is where Favre has tried to change things up a bit. This was their main struggle against Nurnberg and Augsburg, but let's dive a little deeper into how they were defeated by Werder Bremen in the DFB-Pokal.
There were some squad changes with the most significant one being the absence of the goalkeeper Roman Burki in favour of Eric Oelschlagel. Also, Favre made a positional rotation moving Diallo to the left of the defence in order to include Omer Toprak in central defence.
The Black and Yellows used Witsel as the main force to distribute the ball up the pitch in the areas where Reus and Christian Pulisic were positioned. Dropping back every once in a while and making a combination of short passes with the central defenders allowed the team to locate the free spaces and exploit them.
Later on, after Reus' equaliser at the end of the first half, Favre used the right-back Hakimi as an additional attacking force to distract Werder's defenders and open spaces for his teammates in central areas. Dortmund's plans didn't have the required success as Bremen's defensive lineup managed to balance stretching out wide and still having solidity centrally.
Werder Bremen's second goal.
That is actually what Werder did during their second goal. They stretched the play out wide which gave Mohwald the opportunity to exploit the half-spaces and receive the ball. After that, poor defensive actions by Witsel resulted in their opponents scoring. Other than that, a lack of awareness during set-pieces sent the game into a penalty shootout.
Title challenge
The title challengers need to improve their effectiveness in front of goal. Despite the crazy amount of chances they create, the attacking players must focus and work on their finishing if they want the Bundesliga crown.
The 3-1 win against VfB Stuttgart who are currently in the relegation zone might have boosted their confidence but a lot of work has to be done, especially with their upcoming meeting with Bayern Munich. On April 6 they will meet in what might turn to be the season's decisive fixture.

10 Reasons Your Presidential Vote Doesn't Count
Chris Jenkins . . . Comments
In the wake of the 2016 Republican and Democratic National Conventions, more people than ever feel fired up to vote. US citizens feel this is a civic duty that gives them a voice in the direction of their country. However, the bleak truth is that everything from outdated systems to the dominance of the two-party system means that your vote may not count for anything at all.
10 Many States Have Made Up Their Minds
Photo credit: Mark Newman
Presidential voting is often characterized as the ultimate act of democracy in the US—a chance for each individual to play a part in determining the future of their country and, to a lesser extent, the world. But this view envisions the presidential race as one big contest.
In reality, it's more like 50 separate races—one for each state. The vast majority of voters live in states that made up their mind to vote red (Republican) or blue (Democrat) years ago. The Electoral College for these states usually works on an "all or nothing" system.
In Alabama, a vote for a Democrat quite literally counts for nothing in the presidential race of this predominately Republican state. Although some voters live in the so-called "swing states," the Electoral College helps discredit their votes, too.
9 The Electoral College Is What Matters
The majority, "popular" vote does not actually determine who becomes president. Instead, it is left to the 538 members of the Electoral College, and the winning candidate must receive at least 270 electoral votes. Each electoral vote can count for as many as 500,000 popular votes.
The "winner-take-all" nature of a state's electoral votes means that any vote outside the majority for that state is meaningless—those voters have no power. Accordingly, these states receive far less attention from presidential candidates as they campaign, putting voters in non-swing states even further from those they are asked to elect.
Some states have more electoral votes than others, which is how candidates like John Adams in 1824 and George W. Bush in 2000 lost the popular vote but became president anyway.
8 You Encourage Uninformed Voters

Comedian George Carlin had a famously cynical quote: "Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that." Sadly, this applies to voting as well.
Nonetheless, we encourage voting as a civic duty for everyone 18 and older. But Harvard economist Gregory Mankiw once opined that we should not dissuade our friends who tell us they aren't voting.
In all likelihood, these friends are like the countless voters that researchers in 1996 discovered left many blanks on their ballots. Their conclusion was that many potential voters are uninformed about the candidates and choose to not vote.
By encouraging everyone to vote, we actual decrease the number of educated and informed voters making this monumental decision affecting the country. Letting them stay home may make the country stronger.
7 Third-Party Votes Count For Nothing
Photo credit: DW
When Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump solidified as the 2016 candidates for president, many individuals and groups sent renewed rallying calls to vote for a third party. Some liberals urged votes for Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders while more conservative groups rushed to remind everyone that Libertarian Gary Johnson would be on the ballot in all 50 states. Unfortunately, these options are meaningless.
Votes are bought by money. Not directly, of course, but via the kinds of advertising machinery that makes even the most politically unaware feel a sense of confidence in a candidate. Both Democrats and Republicans are financially beholden to various corporate interests, and stagnating economic growth has reduced the ability for a truly independent candidate to finance a competing campaign. Thus, while symbolic, a vote for a third party is utterly meaningless.
6 There Is No 'Lesser Of Two Evils'
Photo credit: New York Post
Many Trump supporters and many Clinton supporters think that they are voting for the "lesser of two evils." However, the futility of this line of thinking is so obvious that even a child can see it.
Unsavory candidates for president do not arrive in a vacuum. They rise to prominence by promising to fix a broken system. (In the case of career politicians, it's arguably a system they helped to break in the first place.)
By consistently voting for a candidate you feel will fix a couple of the symptoms and then leaving the causes of our country's problems open like wounds, you guarantee that the problem lives on and new symptoms will arise.
5 Disenfranchisement Makes Democracy A Lie
Photo credit: Southern Coalition for Social Justice
Voting is considered sacred because it is founded on the idea that all the country's citizens help to shape its future by voting. In truth, not all of them get to vote.
Here's an example: In 2016, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a voting law established by North Carolina in 2013 that allegedly prevented voter fraud. However, the courts found that many of the law's changes were based on racial data. Such data showed that African Americans were likeliest to vote Democrat, take part in early voting, and use photo IDs other than a driver's license.
The law eliminated early voting and made a driver's license the only acceptable photo ID, which also affected the elderly. Worst of all, these changes were later found to have no significant effect on voter fraud (which was found to be a nonissue). When specific segments of the population are still being disenfranchised in the 21st century, the dream of democracy via equal voting rights is dead.
4 The Candidates Are The Same: The Illusion Of Choice
Another bit of infamous George Carlin wisdom is what he called the "illusion of choice." Carlin noted that the media labels those who see connecting interests between politicians (on all sides) and corporations as crazy conspiracy theorists.
"You don't need a formal conspiracy," Carlin said, "These people went to the same universities and fraternities, they're on the same boards as directors, they were in the same country clubs, they have like interests. [ . . . ] They don't need to call a meeting. They know what's good for them, and they are getting it."
He noted that the dwindling of things like oil companies and insurance companies ran parallel to the dwindling of viable political parties and that we have "23 flavors" for things like bagels but only two choices for the most powerful position in the world.
The vote represents the illusion that we are choosing between significantly different parties rather than two elites from the same circles.
3 Super PACs And Corporate Control
Photo credit: League of Women Voters
It's easy for skeptics to shrug at the assertions of George Carlin and others that corporate interests control elections. However, that's been factually true since 2010.
Previously, the Campaign Reform Act of 2002 prevented corporations and unions from donating to politicians for an obvious reason: How can a president show no favoritism when certain corporations played a major part in helping him or her win the election?
In 2010, the Supreme Court overturned certain parts of that act, allowing corporations to donate to Political Actions Committees (PACs) to help a candidate win the election. This quickly led to so-called "super PACs," which have no limits on the amount they can donate.
By July 31, 2016, super PACs had spent nearly $1 billion on various political candidates in that election cycle. As elections are determined by money, billionaires and their corporations always trounce the "vote your conscience" sentiments of common citizens.
2 Voting Keeps Your Party From Changing
When it became obvious that Bernie Sanders would not be the Democratic Party candidate, one group became more fired up than ever. The "Bernie or Bust" movement declared that they will never vote for Hillary Clinton, and much of the Democratic National Convention was spent trying to either cajole or shame this group into falling in line and voting for Clinton.
The problem is that this furthers the notion of treating voting like sports—as if voters have an obligation to always vote for their "team" rather than honestly evaluate the principles, promises, and previous actions of the candidates. Withholding your vote sends a powerful message to your party that you want a candidate more in line with your values.
1 Not Voting Is Also Your Right
Photo credit: Higgins News Network
Your right to vote is spoken of in the same hushed tones as your right to free speech. However, you have the right to not vote, too. Some may shame you with the old line that those who don't vote do not get to complain about the president.
Here's a secret: Not voting is your complaint about a corrupt, rigged system. Think of it as supply and demand. Not voting makes the candidates have to work harder to sell themselves to the public. Withholding your vote encourages presidential candidates to discover the platforms and promises that citizens want and, ideally, to deliver them.

"This isn't your grandmother's kind of poetry"
U of O alumnus participates in OG 500 slam poetry contests.
With such a lot of specific groups and golf equipment on campus, it's smooth for an art shape like slam poetry to wander away within the shuffle. This is in particular genuine here in Ottawa, where there are so many subcultures to bask in. Regardless of this, the annual OG 500 Poetry Slams changed into still going sturdy in its maximum latest version at the Gladstone Theatre on Aug. 25.
In affiliation with Residence of PainT, Ottawa's annual city art pageant, the event featured key artists, including Sarah MK, a Montreal-based musician and an entertainer X-way Will-Mac.
As a new addition in 2012, the poetry slam gained popularity as one among Residence of PainT's biggest overall performance activities, with an excessive three spherical opposition of spoken phrase poetry. Twelve poets cross head-to-head in the struggle, being judged via target market members in a stay vote casting style particular to the show.
The final 3 rounds are judged with the aid of a panel of celeb visitors, and the winner is going home with the crown underneath their belt and a hefty sum of $500.
Mississauga native Matt Miller, the winner of this 12 months' OG 500 Poetry Slams, mentioned that "this isn't your grandmother's form of poetry." Even though he took a darkish tone whilst analyzing present-day troubles, his fashion remained comedic and approachable.
Slam poetry is fundamentally spoken phrase poetry, however, with an aggressive side. It combines several artwork forms and the freedom of notion and expression and puts it into an opposition wherein the poet is graded based totally on overall performance and material.
University of Ottawa alumnus Panos Argyropoulos, who graduated from the U of O with a masters' diploma in chemistry and who participated in the contest, explains that slam poetry possibly started as a method of protest because it's on the whole political and very awful lot "to your face."
In reality, Slam poetry or a 'slam' is the competition between fellow poets and lets in for character or group performances. The performers and the target audience resonate thru each other and vicariously revel in what the poets ought to proportion. Thru a dance of words, it paperwork a discussion or a debate wherein the winner is selected with the aid of judges who are typically advocates of the art.
Argyropoulos believes that for poetry, "much like with any art form, you have to exit and find it." He also defined that even as slam poetry and rap have many similarities, they also have many differences.
"Rap is extra of a limited spoken phrase poetry because of the policies."
Argyropoulos described his fashion as "introspective, allowing the concept to undergo … inside the experience of allowing the target market to apprehend what (he's) going through."
He says "any art shape may be self-selective," with slam having a few restrictions inclusive of public talking, poetic tone, and intonation Unique Press.
"It's almost like writing an essay," Argyropoulos said, trying to describe the feeling of completing a spoken poem.
A few recommendations Argyropoulos gives to students who are curious or inquisitive about slam poetry are writing down as lots as they could. An excellent way is to mission your self to write down a poem every week, imparting a manner to see the progression and construct confidence.
What's remarkable about this artwork form is that it's all about self-expression. In an age where the lot is on social media, it's difficult to be heard over everyone else. However, with spoken phrase poetry, you have the hazard to specific your mind and opinions out loud, turning your mind right into a near-theatrical overall performance.

Always kind, smart, well dressed, and getting perfect grades … I also became the moody adolescent who's world would fall apart for days / weeks at a time if things fell out of place.
By grad-school? It all crumbled apart when a combination of anxiety, an overachiever / perfectionist mentality, and burning the candle at both ends came to a head … My 1st panic attack … And even then? It took time for me to really sit down and unpack it all. I still have more work to do on that front, if we're being real .. And possibly why I chose not to share my full journey with anxiety here just yet. The concept of clinical anxiety vs. "just feeling really nervous" is a concept many are only just coming to understand.
In short, as the New Year rings in? Rather than focusing on pressuring myself to stack more on my "to-do list" or getting rid of old habits, I'm rekindling some old ones I honestly need to get better at practicing.
My 2019 plan includes remembering to make both my physical and mental health as much a priority as I do other aspects of my life … Thanking the amazing people who continue to support / love me both in times of great success and when I stumble .. Plus realizing it's ok to be gentle with myself. The world has it's own set of pressures. There's no need for me to add more weight, if possible.
How cute is this week's bathing suit? While many might call the pattern "tye-dye" .. Here's another example of cultural fabrics, in this case African "batik fabric," being incorporated into the mainstream fashion market place.

How effective is message on hold?
A recent AT&T Study – More than 70% of business calls are placed on hold for an average of 45 seconds each. 60% of the callers placed on hold hang up, and 30% of those that hang up never call back. 94% of advertising budgets are spent to induce a call and only 6% is spent to handle the call once it comes in.
North American Telecom – Callers with silence on hold will abandon their calls in less than one minute. 90% hang up within forty seconds. – Callers with music on hold will stay on the line thirty seconds longer than with silence. – Callers with information on hold will stay on the line for up to three minutes longer.
US West Communications Study – Providing information on hold results in a 40% increase in retention of callers on hold… a 15% increase in inquiries… a 12% direct increase in requests for products and services mentioned on hold.
Office Team Survey – The average executive spends 17 minutes per day on hold.
CNN – The average person spends 60 hours per year on hold. 55 seconds is the national average hold time for companies with more than two telephone lines.

Q: How can I connect ubuntu 19.10 to a projector? I am using Ubuntu 19.10 desktop on a asus laptop with Ubuntu DE. My laptop doesn't have a VGA port to connect to a projector directly thus I should get it to connect through HDMI to VGA converter. In the older version of Ubuntu like 14.04 we could use Display settings to connect Ubuntu to projector. As you can see in the below I haven't any option to use to get it to connect to the projector.

How can I get it to work? Thanks

A: OK I got it to work by connecting HDMI-to-VGA converter to the projector and all options in the Display Settings appeared successfully.

Baltikums Bank makes major investment in reconstructing buildings in Old Riga
The historic five-storey building on Jēkaba street 2, at the heart of Old Riga, is undergoing the most ambitious reconstruction in its centuries-long history. After the project is completed, the building will be managed by its new owner Baltikums Bank.
The building's magnificent façade has partly been unveiled already but interior works are going ahead at full steam. The windows are being restored but some exterior works will require the heat of the summer to complete effectively. Marina Mihailova, head architect of the project, is glad to note that the façade has been painted in its original colour, a pale cerulean hue that will make decorative elements stand out more and will and wonderfully complement the adjacent future Saeima (house of Parliament) building, which is undergoing reconstruction as well.
Interior works will continue until the spring of next year. The massive scale of construction and reconstruction includes the first ever reinforcement of the building's foundation, which is particularly important in the historical centre of Old Riga. Construction works are accompanied by archaeological supervision, which might improve our knowledge about the history of this grand structure.
"In cooperation with the best experts and structural engineers in Latvia, we have made the responsible decision to reinforce the foundations, driving so-called micropiles. This is a minimally invasive method that is exceptionally well-suited to reconstructing historic buildings," comments Marina Zaharova, head of the reconstruction project at Baltikums Bank. "Also, when we stripped the finish from interior walls and ceilings, we discovered a lot of unexpected issues. It turned out that some apertures and ceiling structures would need to be reinforced. We approached restoration of windows with particular care, only replacing those that were in unacceptable technical condition. As a result, we have preserved the historical façade while maintaining noise and heat insulation," Zaharova adds.
The reconstruction involves raising the roof gable slightly without affecting the building's façade. This way, previously unused attic spaces can be transformed into useful spaces. The vault will also be reconstructed and an elevator will be installed in the interior yard of the building, providing access to all storeys.
The almost forgotten heritage from the year 1893 remains with just three elements and the owner is reconstructing them with utmost care, preserving them for future generations. Despite numerous reconstruction projects, the Jēkaba street 2 edifice has retained its plain concrete staircase with metal railings, which goes from the first floor to the attic; its splendid glazed tile stove; and the ornate oak ceiling in the hall that historically served as the bank director's office.
"It was our strategic decision not to build a new building for the bank outside the city centre, but instead to stay in Old Riga. It affirms our sense of historical heritage – we have chosen to operate in a building that was adapted to banking activities during its 19th-century reconstruction. Moreover, it is a building whose majesty and splendour are a perfect match for the highly personable, tailored approach that we provide to our clients", explains Dmitrijs Latiševs, Baltikums Bank Chairman of the Board.
"We keep developing and our goals are far-reaching, so acquiring this historic structure was an obvious investment for us. The process or reconstructing it has been extensive: at the initial stages of reconstruction, we discovered underwater parts of an iceberg, so to speak, requiring additional time and a higher budget. However, we can proudly admit that we have invested more than 4 million euros in preserving our state capital's historical architecture for many generations to come. The building's long history is the reason we must do this job properly," Dmitrijs Latiševs comments on the reconstruction process.
"In a few months, even more ambitious reconstruction works will commence at another bank building in the same historical quarter of Old Riga, on Smilšu street 6. It is also a structure noted for its use in banking, designed and built in 1910-1912 specifically for the Riga 1st Credit Union's Bank," Latiševs adds.
Baltikums Bank currently rents two smaller buildings in Old Riga. After restoration of the two historic buildings is complete, Smilšu str. 6 will house the bank's head office and Jēkaba str. 2 will be devoted to structural divisions of the bank that provide support to its everyday activities.
Reconstruction and façade restoration works at Jēkaba str. 2 are being performed by RBSSKALS Būvvadība. The head architect is Marina Mihailova from Arhitektoniskās izpētes grupa.
The Republic of Latvia Saeima recently acquired another historic bank building on Jēkaba street 6/8 next to the restored Baltikums Bank building on Jēkaba str. 2. As a result, Jēkaba street is expected to see improvements to its look in the coming years, becoming more attractive for locals and guests of the city alike.
HISTORICAL REFERENCE
■ A quarter in Old Riga. 1612 engraving of Old Riga by Mollin. One of the buildings in the picture is most likely the building that currently stands on Jēkaba street 2.
■ The same quarter can be seen on a 1638 engraving by Merian.
■ In drawings of city streets made in 1823, the land parcel is topped by a three-storey building with a double pitch roof, an annex, a brick outer wall, and two gates.
■ In 1850, reconstruction of the building was completed according to a design by Hesse.
■ In 1872, the title to the Dahlwitzsche Haus on the corner of Liela Smilšu iela and Liela Jēkabiela, which used to be rented by a café, was acquired by the Riga International Credit Union (established in 1869) – according to an archive transcript.
■ In 1893, The Riga International Credit Union commissioned a project to reconstruct the building (constructing a 4th storey and loft on top of the three-storey house, and some alterations to the façade. The architect was engineer Trompovskis.
■ Construction of the five-storey building was concluded in 1894. In 1923, a project was implemented to alter the Riga Credit Bank façade (windows) and interior spaces.
■ In 1939, the building was home to the General Agricultural Bank, followed by the Ministry of Finance in 1940.
■ The building was reconstructed again in the 1990s.
■ In 1995, the building was acquired by Latvijas Krājbanka.
■ In 2012, Baltikums Bank subsidiary SIA Jēkaba 2 purchased the building.
■ In March 2014, an ambitious project was undertaken to reconstruct the building in its entirety; completion is scheduled for the spring of 2016.
"Documentation of the building on Jēkaba str. 2 at the Riga City Building Board starts in May 1868. Since then, clear evidence has been available, including drawings as well as architectural documentation of works that were performed. After studying references on the development of Smilšu str. and Jēkaba str. in the 13th and 14th centuries, the 17th-century engravings and early 19th-century drawings, I can assume that the building's history is much longer than that," explains head architect of the reconstruction project, SIA "Arhitektoniskās izpētes grupa" architect Marina Mihailova, "The house we see now is represented in elevation drawings dated 1823 as a three-storey structure with annexes, a steep roof and an attic in several levels. The house was renovated in the 1860s and in the 1990s but its current volume stems from the reconstruction project developed in the year 1893 by architect and engineer Trompovskis. In 1923, large open windows were built into the façade. The building was altered considerably in 1990 – interior office spaces were reconstructed and a vault was built – but the attic remained intact. The reconstruction and façade restoration taking place at the moment is not only the most extensive and complicated undertaking yet, it also contributes the most to preserving historical heritage," Mihailova notes.
As far back as 1211, Smilšu street marked the main road from Vidzeme. It was the important entrance to the city and would lead straight to the Coal Market. Since the 14th century, Smilšu iela has been the main street stretching from the Powder Tower gate to Jēkaba street.
Jēkaba street became an important urban artery in the 16th century, leading through the gate to pastureland. The Coal Market was situated where Jēkaba steet and Smilšu street met. In the latter half of the 19th century, Riga was transformed from an ancient trading centre into a modern industrial city. Extensive foreign trade connections through the port of Riga led to a major accumulation of trade capital in Riga and laid the groundwork for establishing a diverse industrial complex in and around the city, fully supported by a major outlet market and stable sources of raw materials and fuel. The new capitalist lending system was also established. In Riga, it was represented by three major banks and a network of international credit institutions, savings banks, and savings and lending companies, with a number of private banking firms.

Q: Python exit from all function and stop the execution I'm trying to develop a script that will connect to our switch and do some tasks.
In this script I have a main function that calls a second function. In the second function I pass a list of switches that Python will start to connect one by one.
The second function will call a third function. In the third function the script makes some tests. If one of these tests fail I want to close the entire script.
The problem is that I tried to put return, exit, raise System, os.exit but what happens is that the script doesn't stop, it just jumps to another switch and goes on.
Anyone knows how can I close my entire script from a function?
Best regards.

A: You can use
 import sys
 sys.exit()

or
raise SystemExit()

The parameters can be used to pass messages. If you are also dealing with loops, break also works really well.

A: Try using sys.exit(). sys.exit() will raise a SystemExit exception and close the program.

A: Thanks for your reply.
I already tried use sys.exit, raise and others into the third funcion but nothing works. What I did, I put a return with stantement pass or fail. On the secund function I test the return and if fail the script execute sys.exit(). When I do this on the secund function the script stop like we want. Now it's working fine. Probably this is the worst way to do this but worked.
Best regards.

Penstemon heterophyllus 'Electric Blue' adds zing to the tiring autumn garden with it's bright gentian blue flowers. The colour is a great foil for all the yellow and russet shades that dominate as the season draws to a close. P. heterophyllus comes from the California foothills where it basks in the sun on shingle slopes. Grow it on a sunny well-drained bank in the north or under the eaves against a north-west wall in the south and it will perform well for you if starved and clipped back after flowering.


As the time approaches for the great feast of the Nativity, it is good to spend some time reflecting in preparation. The Church, both East and West, understands that people take a long time to make changes. Many of us have been working on changing the same aspects of ourselves for decades.
This is the beautifully practical reason why the Church gives us seasons of preparation such as Advent: to help us toward true healing and wholeness.
While the Roman Church begins the fast of Advent on Dec. 2, the Byzantine churches begin preparing on Nov. 15, the day just after the feast of St. Philip (Nov. 14 in the East). This gives us 40 days of preparation before Christmas.
It is important for all of us as deacons to spend some time preparing for Christmas by examining the areas we need to change in our lives, and particularly in our ministry as deacons. One way of doing this is through the lens of St. Ephraim's prayer.
The prayer asks that God spare us from four vices in particular — the spirit of indifference, despair, lust for power, and idle chatter — and then also that he bestow on us the remedies for these vices: the spirit of integrity, humility, patience and love.
The spirit of indifference, also translated as "sloth," typically is seen in conjunction with discouragement, and it makes sense: We stop caring because we are discouraged by the results (or lack of results) from our caring actions in the past. Maybe it's the Bible study for which we spent long hours preparing and only one parishioner shows. Or the couple whom we prepared for marriage ends up divorcing. Do we choose in these moments to see the will of God outside of our expectations and to continue to pursue his will, or do we focus on our disappointment and shut down into apathy?
Next, we ask to be spared of the spirit of despair. In other translations of the prayer, despair is translated from the Greek term "acedia," which is one of the classic monastic sins. Acedia is despondency, or a despair that begins first with an interior instability and a hatred for prayer, labor and one's superior. In more popular terms, it is the spirit of burnout, be it in ministry, prayer or family life. In what areas am I burned out, restless or despairing?
The last two — lust for power and idle chatter — directly are connected to the sin of vainglory, or a desire for the esteem of others. Do I long for the power that a ministerial position can give me because I want to be seen as such in the eyes of others? Do I fall into useless chatter and pointless words so as to seem substantial in the eyes of those around me, rather than speaking words of purpose to love and glorify God?
From here, we must move forward in asking God to heal the specific ways we are ill with these vices and to grant us the remedies of integrity, humility, patience and love. How can these virtues address my faults and temptations so that I can be healed and whole? How can I apply them to my ministry as a deacon?
What an opportunity for healing we have been given in this Nativity fast.
