Following Man City demolition job, David Moyes reflects on the state of his team and admits it's going to be tough.
Manchester United manager David Moyes has warned fans the Premier League champions need top level reinforcement and Sunday's 4-1 humiliation by Manchester City is unlikely to be a one-off.
"There will be days like we had on Sunday and there might be more of them because we are in a period where there will be transition," the Scot told newspapers ahead of Wednesday's Capital One Cup tie at home to Liverpool.
"Where we've got work to do is in bringing players in - not for the squad but to go right into the team," added the manager, in his first season at Old Trafford after replacing Alex Ferguson.
"We needed one or two who might have just gone in (to the team). But that will happen. Yes, it does mean I may have to take a few more blows. Maybe even more than that. Maybe all season I have to take a few blows."
United missed out on a series of high-profile players during the last transfer window including, according to newspaper reports on Wednesday, a last-gasp attempt to hijack Gareth Bale's record move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid.
The rushed $43.96 million signing of Belgium international midfielder Marouane Fellaini, from Moyes's former club Everton, was only secured minutes before the window closed.
Attempts to sign Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao and Fabio Coentrao from Real Madrid all failed.
Leighton Baines also decided to stay at Everton while Thiago Alcantara opted to move from Barcelona to Bayern Munich.
Moyes said United had the numbers in terms of players in the squad but needed new recruits who could be plugged straight into the starting line-up.
He suggested that United had been helped last season by rivals who failed to raise their game.
"I think a lot of people thought with United last season it was probably the fault of other teams who were poor," he said.
On Sunday at the Etihad stadium, without the injured Robin van Persie, it was United who looked distinctly poor.
"I hadn't seen that level of performance from City," said Moyes.
"But I hadn't seen that poor a level from us either...we looked quite easy to play against which is not the norm for Manchester United."


"The #1 way to reduce your home's heating and cooling costs is through proper insulation and air sealing."
Over the years due to lower fuel costs and lack of awareness, construction building codes allowed insufficient levels of insulation to be installed in new construction. It is common for older St Louis area homes to have insulation levels that are drastically lower than what we know now to be required for ultimate energy savings, air quality and comfort. Adding insulation and air sealing key areas of your home will help contain heated or cooled air to the conditioned space for recapture leading to less work and results in longer life for your h.v.a.c system. It is also common for customers to experience less fluctuation from temperatures from room to room and floor to floor.
St Louis Insulation's certified technicians utilize the latest building science techniques, experience and equipment to recommend common sense solutions for customers seeking to save money on their utility bills, be more comfortable in their own home and to do their part for the environment by helping to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.
Getting a free, no pressure in-home estimate from St. Louis Insulation is fast and easy! Just give us call to set up a free in home consultation and our attendant will dispatch an experienced technician not a commission based salesperson. We will listen to the symptoms that you have been experiencing, diagnosis the source of the problem and prepare a written estimate outlining the work needed to get it corrected. There will never be any pressure to buy our products or services & we will never try to sell you services that you might not need. If your looking for an honest and reputable insulation contractor that puts their customer's first then you should choose Saint Louis Insulation for your next insulation project. You will be glad you did!
Some area insulation installers don't provide the best customer service possible. They are routinely late for appointments, hard to get hold of and aren't really there to help answer your energy saving questions. St. Louis Insulation operates with a totally different customer care philosophy in mind. We understand that world class customer support begins with selecting and hiring the right people. Our dedicated staff consists of talented professionals who know our products, their application, and are there to provide your with the prompt, efficient and cost-effective solutions you need to reduce your heating and cooling costs and make your home more energy efficient.

Insulation has very specific applications. Choosing the wrong insulating materials could do more harm then good and result in costly repair bills. That's why it's so important to choose the insulation materials that are right for your insulation project. If the insulation you purchased isn't installed right, you could risk voiding the manufactures warranty. Our certified installers only use the best insulation materials available and you never have to worry about how those materials are installed. Our work is guaranteed to be installed according to manufacture specifications or we will make it right free.
You no longer have to choose between saving money and getting a good value from a reputable insulation company. With St. Louis Insulation you can have the best of both worlds. While we strive to keep our labor rates low, we are not "cheap" when it comes to quality service that you can depend on. We take great pride in providing our customers with affordable insulation services that are backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Our commitment to quality combined with our dedication to keep our labor costs low makes St. Louis Insulation an easy choice.
St. Louis Insulation did a great job insulation my older home. They insulated the attic, air sealed my rim joists and added a hot water heater blanket for added savings. They were neat, clean and completely professional and we noticed the difference almost immediately. Chris was a tremendous help and provided exceptional service throughout my experience.

Q: Explanation for the functionality of tuples in for loops if a tuple is iterable why the following code results to an error?
I have read many threads about this but I am not able to understand.
tp1 = (5,7)
for i,j in tp1:
    print(i,j)

A:
If a tuple is iterable why the following code results to an error?

Because for i, j in (5, 7, ..., n) is essentially equivalent to:
i, j = 5
i, j = 7
...
i, j = n

And the resulting int on the right-hand side is not iterable.  You cannot "unpack"* each element of the tuple further because it is a single integer.
What you can do is the more straightforward assignment:
tp1 = (5, 7)
i, j = tp1

The syntax that you're currently using would apply if each element of the tuple is iterable, such as :
>>> tp2 = (['a', 5], ['b', 6])
>>> for i, j in tp2: print('%s -> %d' % (i, j))
...
a -> 5
b -> 6

*From comments: Can you explain to me what you mean with the phrase 'you cannot "unpack" each element of the tuple further because it is a single integer'?
Unpacking is the concept of expanding or extracting multiple parts of a thing on the right hand side into multiple things on the left-hand side.
 Unpacking, extended unpacking, and nested extended unpacking gives a thorough overview of unpacking. There are also some extended forms of unpacking syntax specified in PEP 3132.

A: When you use the for i,j in tp1: syntax, Python is expecting that item is an iterable of iterables, which can be unpacked into the variables i and j. In this case, when you iterate over item, the individual members of item are int's, which cannot be unpacked
if you want to unpack the items in the tuple, you should do it like this:
for i in tp1:
    print(i)

and if you want to iterate throught that way you need tuple or list inside tuple or list
(i.e any iterable inside iterable)
a = [(1,2), (3,4)]
for i, j in a:  # This unpacks the tuple's contents into i and j as you're iterating over a
    print(i, j)

hope it would help you

A: Your for loop is trying to unpack a tuple from each element of the tuple.  You could instead do:
for i in tp1:
    print i

or you could just do:
i, j = tpl
print(i, j)

but combining the two only makes sense if you have a tuple of tuples, like ((5, 7), (9, 11)).

I'm not even going mention their beach talk. Gorgeous German mum who has a body like Cat Deeley on "So You Think You Can Dance" had a beach guy giving her the eye, so she asked the ice cream van guy to block him till she got in the car. She thinks Ocean Boulevard ice cream guy is a hero.
Then they discovered Kirk's Ice Cream on Kings Highway. Ye gods, my freezer was loaded with cups and cups of their favorites.
They've left and are back in freezing Germany, as are all my other summer visitors. The house is empty and quiet, the dogs are moping about, we're all going through withdrawal.
It's Myrtle the Magnet. Speaking of which they've taken 20 Myrtle Beach fridge magnets away plus other stuff.
Hello, dog days, nice to see you again.
It's just me, a Myrtle Beach Magnetian.

What Is Google Lighthouse? (And Why You Need It)
By Graham Murray On Apr 19, 2021
You know when the wife says, "I'm fine" and you know for a fact that she's not fine? Yet, the reason she's not fine is a complete mystery and takes advanced FBI-style skills to determine the problem?That pretty much sums up Google.Globally, businesses have been in a guessing game with the search engine giant to try and piece together exactly what it wants from them. The jostling for page one is fierce and often messy, but Google remains, for the most part, steadfastly silent on how to get there.That was before Google Lighthouse.Why is it so important for every business with an online presence to understand the role of this tool?Unpacking Google LighthouseGoogle is determined to offer the very best answer to user queries. To do this, it has developed some mind-bending algorithms to ascertain what that is while offering the best user experience possible.Google Lighthouse is a free online tool from Google that offers instant insights into the critical areas of your website. The dashboard is incredibly user-friendly and displays your Google Lighthouse score in simple metrics from 1 – 100 to indicate site performance.Easily added to Google Chrome, Lighthouse offers actionable solutions to solve highlighted problems. The five categories that Google focuses on are as follows:
Google Lighthouse and page speed is a major thing. To test page loading times, they use a 3G connection on a slow device. They do this to ensure that the vast majority of people who still don't have access to 4G or 5G will experience great page performance.Logically, those with faster connections and better phones will enjoy excellent performance on the same site.
Google aims to address the challenges of visually impaired people by ensuring that your site is set up to accommodate these ones.Therefore, links, buttons, and images require an accurate alt-attribute should the user be using a screen reader. Colors and contrast ratios are also taken into account.
User security is a hot topic and therefore included in the best practices category.Google Lighthouse will check for HTTPS usage, resource security, and other vulnerabilities that could negatively impact user experience.
SEO tests indicate how easy it is for Google to reach and crawl your site. The architecture of your pages, image tags, and a host of other factors are assessed and scored.SEO is such a critical factor for businesses today that it's well worth taking the advice from Google Brains and implementing it as soon as possible.
PWAs are websites that are built to act and display like a mobile app. They carry all the ease and functionality of an app and make smart use of native mobile device features. Basically, they speed up and simplify online actions for users.Due to the prevalence of PWAs, Google Lighthouse has rightly included these in their categories for analysis and improvement.Listen to the Big GGoogle Lighthouse is offering us the opportunity to see our website through the lens of the Google brains and is not to be missed. While it's not ready to give up all its secrets just yet, we would be wise to use the tools provided to our advantage.Enhancing your website and online presence is a simple thing with the help of our in-depth, practical blogs.

The road to nationals
Two SHS speech team members prepare to compete in Dallas
Tabatha Fitzgerald, Reporter|May 17, 2019
Hannah Garrett
Sophomore Terry Tripp (left) and junior Alexa Haines are both preparing for the national competition in June. Tripp is competing in World School Debate, and Haines is competing in Programmed Oral Interpretation.
Heart racing. Shaky hands. These are the physical symptoms that two members of the SHS Speech and Debate team will experience this on a much grander scale this June.
This June, junior Alexa Haines and sophomore Terry Tripp will be competing at Nationals for the first time in their high school careers. For SHS, this is the first time anyone from the team will be going to Nationals since 2015.
"It's really neat," Haines said thinking about going to Nationals for the first time. "I'm really honored to have that experience, but it's a little bit stressful. I think 'Oh my gosh, I'm really going.'"
Haines and Tripp will be going to Nationals in Dallas, Texas from June 18 to 21. According to Speech and Debate team Coach Sara Berghoff, it depends on if a student finds the right piece to perform at the right time for if they will go to Nationals or not.
Berghoff says that the team has a very talented group of members this year. She believes that they are very lucky Haines and Tripp were able to find the right pieces and events as a sophomore and junior because sometimes it can take years to find that for students and it sometimes doesn't happen until the last minute.
"Sometimes, you spend four years with students trying to find that right thing for them and you don't find it until the last minute," Berghoff said. "This year we lucked out and found it because Lex is a junior and Terry's a sophomore and to find what works best for them this early is fantastic."
Haines is participating in an event called "Program Oral Interpretation," which is an event where the speaker takes passages from books, poems or any outside source that can be used together to enhance the message the speaker is trying to give. According to Haines, her piece is overall about the Trail of Tears.
Haines chose this topic due to her Native American Ancestry on her father's side. For as long as she can remember, Haines says that the biggest part of her life is her culture and spiritual beliefs.
"It's been in my life for as long as I can remember, like the ceremonies and stuff and within the past couple of years I've been a lot more involved with it and it's so important to me," Haines said. "So I used that for a sort of foundation for my piece."
To help offset the costs of going to nationals the SHS Speech and Debate Team organized a fundraiser. They currently have raised $1,460 on their One Cause page. $700 was donated by alumni Jason Kegerris who went to Nationals in Birmingham, Alabama in 2009. Kegerreis wants other students to be able to experience Nationals as well.
"It's my experience in life that life gives everybody equal amounts of talent but not equal amounts of opportunity," Kegerreis said. "… I didn't want to know that there were students who didn't get to broaden themselves for reasons that are outside of their control."
Kegerreis is one former student who was impacted by his time on the team. As he reflects back on his experiences with the team he can now see the benefits that it had on his life.
Kegerreis feels that he had an advantage over others in college due to the fact that it felt very natural to him to be able to take large amounts of information and break it down into three main points, just like he did on when he was on the team. He also uses his skills from speech in his everyday life while now currently being in the workforce.
According to Kegerreis, the number one fear that people have anxiety over is talking, and the need for talking will never go away. Kegerreis believes that is better to learn to communicate and speak up in a controlled environment.
"The ability to communicate, the ability to analyze, to discuss ideas to understand things are critical for college and for adult life," Kegerreis said. "I first got those skills in speech."
Besides Kegerreis, other alumni have donated as well. According to Berghoff, it's what keeps her going.
"Sometimes you don't see the successes in the way that you want to see the successes," Berghoff said. "But for that, for those former students to come back and say, 'No, doing this meant something to me in my life and I want to help you guys so that you can keep paying that forward.' It just really touched me and it just made me so happy."

I believe weight loss supplements can be beneficial if we learn to look past the hype and use them in addition to improved eating habits as well as increased physical activity.
Are you looking for decreased appetite, carb blocking ability or increased metabolism? What is the manufacturer promising? What are the active ingredients and what studies and dosages were done on them?
This is something I almost did not want to mention because reviews and testimonials can be very conflicting. Reading weight loss supplement reviews and testimonials is going to require you to think for yourself and determine if the review or testimonial makes a valid point or not. I recently read a review for a weight loss product that said something to this effect: "I did not like this product; I continued to eat the way I always do and actually gained weight on this product." My interpretation of this is that the person probably did not carefully monitor what they were eating. They were gaining weight before "eating what they normally eat" and were expecting this pill to magically cause them to lose weight. On the other hand, a weight loss testimonial that says "I eat anything I want and am still losing weight!" is equally suspicious to me. Weight loss product testimonials and reviews can be helpful in your decision if you weed through the hype and incomplete information. Look for clues such as: Did this product decrease the customers' appetite? Did the customer experience more energy? Was the reviewer jittery?
We have a tendency to believe what we want to believe. But when it comes to weight loss supplements we have to be honest with our self. Are the claims exaggerated? Is the company telling us we do not need to change our lifestyle? Does it appear the company wants us to lead a healthy lifestyle or does the company want to sell millions of pills? Remember weight loss supplements are going to help you reach your goals, not carry you to the completion of your weight loss goals.
Best seller does not always mean the best product.
I was a distributor for a branch of a very reputable supplement company and attended a convention they sponsored. The speaker was talking about making claims when trying to sell product and how they did not want us making any claims that have not been backed by science. Someone asked the question about other companies and why they could make outlandish weight loss claims and experience such great sales while we could only state scientific fact. The speaker acknowledge the fact that these companies would sell millions of dollars worth of product but they would not earn repeat customers and more than likely would not even exist in the long run. Ask yourself if the product you are interested in is a best seller because of hype or because the company is reputable and has a quality weight loss product.
Has the company been around for a while?
While the fact that a company is new does not mean it is low quality, a company that has been around for years usually has happy customers.
Read the directions and warnings very carefully.
I knew a lady that was taking a Chitosan product and getting sick. She asked me about it and I quickly asked her if she was allergic to shellfish-She was. Fortunately for her it was only a mild allergen and she did not suffer seriously. It was clearly stated on the label; "Do not take if you are allergic to shellfish." Also don't have the mentality that if one pill is good then two must be better. Natural weight loss products can be very powerful and should be treated with respect.
Take a break from time to time.
Occasionally take a break from your weight loss supplement regimen especially if you are using a weight loss product that contains a stimulant such as caffeine or other powerful herbs. I even do this with my multi-vitamin. I just believe it is a good idea to give your body a break from time to time.
I believe weight loss supplements can help you reach your weight loss goals, I also believe you can reach your weight loss goals without weight loss supplements, however I have always been the type of person that wanted every edge I can get. So if you are like me, and you decide to use weight loss supplements, think of your weight loss goal as a three legged table. One leg represents healthy eating, one leg represents activity, and the other leg represents your weight loss supplementation. Remove any one leg and the table will fall. Rely on only one leg and you will not reach your weight loss goal. Shop carefully, have realistic expectations, follow safety guidelines and reach your weight loss goal!
I wish for you the best of health!

Politics in an old English village
November 1st, 2015 | Author: Maureen
My journalist instincts kicked in when I discovered a seething political battle behind a traditional English fair, in Wraysbury, a village on the Thames west of London. In my old black filing cabinet I found a copy of the article I wrote in 1962 for my Christchurch, New Zealand newspaper. I've appended a transcript.
A 2014 soccer game on Wraysbury Green. Photo courtesy of Cookham Dean Football Club.
A postscript: the Wraysbury Village Association won their appeal in July 1962. A search on Google Maps shows there is still a substantial green, with playing fields and tennis courts.
LEGAL BATTLE OVER VILLAGE FAIR
In the shade of ancient oaks and chestnuts, where the sweet scent of hay rises from the scythed grass, the sounds of the fair blare out from merry-go-rounds and coconut shies. Across the green, starry with clumps of white daisies, tents and stalls are filled with people inspecting plants, basketwork, and local works of art, or watching a potter at his wheel, or quaffing ale in the refreshment tent.
Wrestlers, fencers and gymnasts display their skills, and a model train, ponies and donkeys give rides across the green to excited children. The soft fluff of dandelion seeds fills the air, and above the trees dozens of swirling balloons make patterns against the warm summer sky. Pretty girls in long skirts, frilly white blouses and straw bonnets are selling programmes.
This is an English country fair, but one with a difference. It is an act of defiance by a village threatened with destruction, a self-consciously archaic revival of an ancient right and custom against the encroachments of suburban London. Its background is a feud that has split the village in two.
Wraysbury, Bucks., was a flourishing village when the Domesday Book was written, and inside its parish boundaries, on an island in the Thames, Magna Carta was signed by King John. Now overhead the whine of airliners rising from London's Heathrow airport vie for attention with the swooping and twittering swallows. All round the village the tentacles of London's urban sprawl show themselves in rows of smart modern houses. Closer and closer to the village the heavy machinery of the gravel merchants turns this swampy land on the north banks of the Thames into untidy pools and mounds of gravel.
Now the old manor farm, a relic of feudal times, is to go under the hammer. Most of the farm will be broken up—"for building development and gravel extraction."
Most of this change has been taken philosophically by the residents of Wraysbury, many of whom have themselves come to the village from the crowded heart of London. But three years ago a crisis developed. A building speculator who had bought part of what was once the village green asked the villagers to waive their rights to this patch of land.
"What rights?" the villagers asked. They discovered that when the great enclosures had taken place in the 18th and early 19th centuries, a private Act of Parliament had in 1803 safeguarded to the use of the villagers certain footpaths down to and along the banks of the Colne Brook, which runs through the village, and also the right to hold, on the Friday afternoon after Whit-Sunday, the ancient and traditional fair on the village green.
This green is now in three sections, one of which was bought by public subscription for the village. Another section was bought by the local tennis club, and the third by the building speculator.
The speculator's plot, like his request, is insignificant in itself, but the villagers believe that a major principle is at stake, particularly as a gravel contractor at the same time asked for a waiving of rights on one of the old footpaths, in order to extend his gravel extracting operations.
The villagers' main concern is their remaining village green. If they were to give way in the two present cases, they feel that the Act which safeguards their rights will be undermined, and they will have no means of defending what is left.
When the matter was first broached, friends of the builder called a public meeting of the residents, who turned down the request by about 300 votes to 10. The builder decided, however, to continue his scheme. His opponents formed a residents' association to protect their rights, accused the parish council of complicity, stupidity, or both, and applied to the court for an injunction to restrain the builder.
On the other side were ranged the parish council, half of whom were replaced by the association's nominees at the next election, and those builders who were interested in property development, and who considered that the opposition were obstructing legitimate progress.
The association won their case, but an appeal is pending. Meanwhile, they determined to revive the traditional fair, which had not been held for 50 years. The fair itself, like most English country fairs, is a relic of pagan times, when it was a feast to honour gods and heroes. With the coming of Christianity the custom was adapted to a wake, or all-night vigil, which the parishioners spent in the church. It was followed the next day by eating and drinking and rural games.
The wakes, which had by that time become very riotous affairs, were stopped by Henry VIII. Charles I revived the old custom, but took the precaution of ordering that his Justices of the Peace should be responsible for preventing any disorders. By this time the religious aspect of the feast had become of secondary importance, and hawkers and peddlers of merchandise of all descriptions began to put in an appearance.
But the right to hold a fair was still held so sacred that, even through the great enclosures of the agrarian revolution, it was preserved to the village on the remnants of common land. It is this right which the villagers of Wraysbury are defending today. They do not see their fair as a sacred feast, but rather as a symbol of their right to keep a beautiful patch of ground for their, and their children's recreation.
The explain it in their programme, which describes the purpose of the fair:
"In these days of giant squid corporations and almost omnipotent local authorities, it is by no means impossible that what the Act of 1803 salvaged from the ruins of the old manorial system might yet get mislaid and turn up in somebody's back yard."

Thank you for this.
Outstanding piece. I learned so much and the words fired up my feelings about the lack of feelings developers display in their quest to get what they want, the commons be damned! Loved it.
Alice Richards:
Maureen,
a well written article that reminds me of the 1950's in America. It was considered wise to tear down old, often times historic buildings to build very modern structures. It took about 2-3 decades for people to realize that so much historical history in structures was lost and the National Preservation society arose to save what was left.

Geraint Thomas' Tour de France trophy stolen at cycling show

PARIS (AP) — Team Sky says the Tour de France trophy won by Geraint Thomas has been stolen from a cycling show in Britain.
The team says police are investigating after the trophy disappeared during an event in Birmingham, where Team Sky displayed the three Grand Tour trophies won by its riders.
In addition to this year's Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, a rider for Sky also claimed the 2017 Spanish Vuelta title.
Sky says "regrettably, during the clear-up operation at the end of the event, Geraint Thomas's Tour de France trophy was momentarily left unattended and stolen."
Thomas, who won his first Grand Tour title this year, asked the thieves to return the trophy.
Thomas says "it is incredibly unfortunate that this has happened. It goes without saying that the trophy is of pretty limited value to whoever took it, but means a lot to me and to the team. Hopefully whoever took it will have the good grace to return it."

Removing rust from stone can be extremely difficult but with the correct products it is easy.
Look at the pictures below and you will see that top one is a picture of a sandstone wall that has been stained over the years with rust that has washed off from the railings that used to be attached to the wall.
This wall has been like this for over 13 years and it would seem almost impossible to remove the rust marks. When the delivery driver delivered the chemical that I used to clean the wall he said that I had no chance of removing the rust stains.
Wet the stone with some clean water.
Here I have used a garden sprayer.
Now before you do anything make sure that you are covered up, so a pair of overalls is a good idea. Goggles and rubber gloves should also be worn as the Net-trol is acidic. Net-Trol is plant and pet safe and so I am probably being over cautious here! Apply the Net-Trol to the stone using a brush and leave it for 20-30 minutes.
After the 20-30 minutes has passed brush the stone using a stiff brush ( not metal ). Here I have used a deck scrub.
The results are pretty amazing!

His multi-disciplinary practice houses all of the various dental specialties under one roof, meaning that they take a comprehensive approach (and have an on-site dental laboratory). He and his staff of top technicians enable customized results—i.e., a better smile—with immediate turn around time.
L'Observatoire International
120 Walker St., Tribeca
Good lighting design is the kind of unsung hero that can really make or break a room. Founded by legendary lighting designer Herve Descottes, L'Observatoire International are truly the best in the business.
Dig Inn
350 Hudson St., Tribeca
Dig Inn's philosophy is "farm to counter," which means that they serve sustainably sourced, usually local food in a casual setting and in a price range that makes it a reasonable option for everyday lunch. The salads and the market plates are easy to take back to the office (or home for dinner), and the menu changes with the seasons, so you won't ever be bored with the offerings. There are locations in Morningside Heights, Union Square, Tribeca, and in Midtown on 52nd, Madison, and 55th, in Lower Manhattan on Pine, Liberty, and Broad St., in Nomad, and off Madison Square Park.
301 Church St., Tribeca
Exposed wooden beams on the ceilings and plentiful bar-height tables and chairs make this a cozy, yet lively hideout on frigid nights (both the Tribeca and Midtown locations are decorated in the same warm, rustic style). With plenty of small plates like guacamole, ceviche, and tacos, the menu is all about traditional Mexican cuisine. In keeping with the theme, the beverage program offers a long list of tequilas, which can always be ordered straight.
Blaue Gans
139 Duane St., Tribeca
If you've traveled in Austria and Germany, you know how uniquely delicious (if carb-heavy) the cuisine is—and also how hard it is to find good versions stateside. Blaue Gans' menu goes way beyond the obvious weiner schnitzel and wurst by including a hearty beef goulash, a traditionally made sauerkraut, and spätzle. Meanwhile, the kaiserschmarrn is apple-filled, with perfect batter and plentiful powdered sugar. The entire space can be rented for small gatherings.
99 Hudson St., Tribeca
Avtar Walia's dressed-up Indian restaurant earned a Michelin star for its classic dishes, which are beautifully presented in a spacious, organically decorated environment. The recently opened Lotus Room at their Tribeca location is open for tea during the day, and makes a sophisticated space for private events come night.
i-Plaza Nail Spa
387 Greenwich St., Tribeca
This subtly industrial, minimalist space is in perfect keeping with the neighborhood: There are a handful of stations scattered beneath a mini sea of white lanterns, which means you can get a great mani/pedi without feeling like you're tripping over your neighbor. There's a second location on North Moore.
22 Park Place, 3rd Floor, Tribeca
This is one of those fitness situations that evades basic definition: Started by Taryn Toomey, it's a self-titled cathartic experience, where you spend 75 minutes engaging in intense movement to "break open and activate 'stagnant' layers in the body." In short you move, and scream, and shake, and yell as you release emotional energy–and get a pretty incredible workout in the process. It requires an open mind and a willing spirit.

Landmarc
179 W. Broadway, Tribeca
Big, bustling, and long-standing, Landmarc is one of those spots that can appease even the fussiest of palates. Beyond the fact that they're never annoyed by the presence of young ones, they're quick with the crayons and the kid-friendly menu, which includes hits like macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, and peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches. Did we mention they serve cotton candy? Meanwhile, parents will find plenty that appeals, too, as well as a really nice wine list. It's great for groups as the one in the Time Warner Center in particular is huge.
Lyons Den Power Yoga
As the self-proclaimed "only studio in Manhattan dedicated to teaching Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga in the Baptiste Yoga Method," the classes here are steamy and athletic, as you'll move through the postures with some speed. Drop-ins are $24, though they have lots of class packs that offer a discount.

class AmazonCommandTest extends KernelTestCase

    public function testExecute()
    {
        self::bootKernel();
        $application = new Application(self::$kernel);

        $application->add(new AmazonCommand());

        $command = $application->find('vendor:amazon:submit
');
        $commandTester = new CommandTester($command);
        $commandTester->execute(array(
            'command'  => $command->getName(),

            // pass arguments to the helper
            'username' => 'Wouter',
        ));

        $output = $commandTester->getDisplay();
        $this->assertContains('Username: Wouter', $output);
    }

}

What I'm missing in this case?

A: I guess you need to share more of you code: Where exactly is this errormessage  thrown and what happens at this line?
Seems like there is an uninitialized array with the "kernel" key missing. But without code: I have no idea. So I guess: More code needed :-)
btw: You shall update your Symfony (I think 6.0 is latest) and PHPUnit (I think version 9.5 is latest)

Chicago Tribune: The Places We Call Home
The Chicago Tribune reporter Barbara Mahany features UI participant Keyshawn Steele and UI friend and supporter Mawi Asgedom sharing tales of the thigns that transform a space into some place magical:
Keyshawn Steele
Where he dwells: A row house in Cabrini-Green, the once-storied public housing on Chicago's Near North Side that, like so many so-called "housing projects," has been labeled a "warehouse for the poor." Keyshawn, who is 11, doesn't see it that way. He's one of the lucky ones; he lives with both his parents, his older brother and two older sisters in a house where he can close the door and count on countless little comforts that tell him he is loved.
What makes it home: "I can relax. No one can interrupt me, no one can make me mad. Sometimes I fall asleep. I start dreaming on my blanket."
Keyshawn was a baby when his family moved to Cabrini. But his mama, LaTonya, learned right away, "If you don't raise your kids, the streets will." And so she set out to make a home where, "when I put the key in the door, everything else that happened all day, no matter how hard or bad, it has disappeared. Once I cross the threshold, I'm at home with Momma, Daddy, Sister, Brother."
Whether it's the can of Pringles waiting on his dresser, or the TV tuned to Nickelodeon, his favorite channel, when he walks in from school, or the little pot of rice cooking just for him, because he likes it best, Keyshawn is wrapped in his mama's devotion.
"When we got home," LaTonya recalls of her own growing up, "it was like we were in a whole world by ourselves."
And so it is, in the humble Cabrini row house the Steeles call home.
Mawi Asgedom
Where he dwells: A two-bedroom duplex in a two-flat in Chicago's Roscoe Village, one he shares with his wife, Erin, and newborn son, Sawyer. Asgedom was only 3 when the 30-year civil war in Ethiopia forced him to flee his village in the dark of night with his mother, brother and baby sister, a 10-week journey by foot, camel and mule that brought them to a refugee camp in Sudan. Eventually resettled in Wheaton, he went on to graduate from Harvard University and has an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. He now works across America as a teen educator, with a character-building program called Mental Karate, is a motivational speaker, and author of four books, including his best-selling self-published memoir, "Of Beetles and Angels: A Boy's Remarkable Journey from a Refugee Camp to Harvard" (Little, Brown, 192 pages, $9.99).
What makes it home: "It's the place where I have my books; when I can sit in a chair, glance across at my beautiful wife and baby boy, and lose myself in those books. I know without a shadow of a doubt, I am going to be in a comforting place."
Asgedom remembers little about his childhood home in the dusty village of Adi Wahla, but he does remember, after loading a donkey for the journey into darkness, his mother laying her hands on the white outside walls of the house they were leaving, "feeling its heartbeat—feeling her own heartbeat—then kissing it, knowing she might never see it again."
For 10 weeks, the four of them trekked village to village through the wilderness, sleeping on or under a plastic tarp, and then survived three years in a disease-infested Sudanese refugee camp.
"One of the Greeks wrote that the greatest sorrow is the sorrow of the exile," says the 32-year-old Asgedom. "It's not just the physical landmarks—say, Sears Tower, or the lake—but this huge cultural landscape, the invisible internal landscape that consists of all these cultural habits that are as much home as the physical. It's all those little things that you will miss.
"Home—Ethiopia—is this place in your heart. It's being able to go outside and hear your native language. It's being able to go to a party and dance in the way you know to dance. We dance with our shoulders in Ethiopia."
It was one small moment in the night, just six years ago in his dry African countryside, when he realized the immense power of what he calls "those little things" that so deeply define home.
"I went back after 23 years, and at 4 in the morning I was sitting in my grandmother's home—I couldn't sleep because of goats and chickens going crazy. I got up and was reading one of my fantasy books. Outside the window, I heard a little kid speaking my language. That's what home is—that little insignificant detail that you take for granted. It, and the other hundred million details that you take for granted, that make home.
"Imagine if that's no longer there?"
And so, says Asgedom, "that invisible internal landscape of home means more to me than the average person because I've brutally been forced to understand what it's like not to have it." And for the new father, who already makes sure his baby's room is filled with books and a map of the world, it is in the comfort of a little cove off the kitchen, where his shelves of books are tucked, that he finds his solace at the end of each long day. "That's home to me. That means more than what the outside of my house looks like, because it's where the comfort comes."

How to Achieve Personal Development?
Jeremy Francis shares his experience on how to achieve personal development ?
I'm often asked by various people how do I get started on my own personal development?
What is a process that I could use now and in an ongoing way into the future?
What is it that I really need to do about this in my life?
I've developed a little formula around the word DEVELOP which I then use to help people answer those questions.
The letter 'D' stands for 'describe your current situation'.
The letter 'E' stands for 'evaluate your situation'.
The letter 'V' stands for 'vision' for your future.
The letter 'E' stands for 'embrace' the different learning activities that you can use.
The letter 'L' stands for 'learning' or 'learning activities' to use to reflect your personal learning style.
The letter 'O' stands for 'Opportunities' for personal development.
The letter 'P' stands for 'plan to make those opportunities a reality.
So let's take an example.
Let's go back to the start of the process. That is to describe your current situation.
Let's say that you're a team member in a group of people and you've worked with that group for the last three years. You know the job technically extremely well you've got very good knowledge and skills in the particular area you work in. You're well-organized, you manage your time well and you are a very efficient individual within the team. That's where you are at the moment.
Then step two, evaluate what is it that you do well what is it that you perhaps find a challenge. What are your talents and strengths, these are personal gifts that you love using and want to grow. What is it that you feel that you need to be focusing on when it comes to acquiring some new talents and skills going forward, in your longer-term aspirations. So maybe you come to the decision that you're actually very good at working as an individual, however you want to progress in the area of influencing and leading others perhaps as a team leader, and that this would be an area of skill that you would like to develop.
But that's not good enough. You now need to get a more concrete vision, the third step of the process. Describe what you would be doing in let's say one or two years time, and if it's that you want to be a team leader picture yourself being a team leader in a particular team within a particular part of the organization. Picture yourself at the start of the day distributing worked the team members, overseeing them, delegating work to them, coaching them, training them, motivating them and undertaking all of those activities that would be required of a team leader.
Picture yourself doing these things and get a very strong picture in your mind. You will then be drawn towards this concrete vision. Now think about what you need to do to obtain the knowledge and skills you need to become and effective team leader. For example, you need to learn influencing skills, you need to learn a team leadership process, you need to learn delegation & motivation skills etc. Ask yourself how can I acquire these skills? First look within your organisation. Are there courses that you can attend, videos that you could watch, articles or blogs you can read or coaching you can acquire. Seek out those learning methods which most suit your personal learning style. Also, look outside of work perhaps in some club or society or community that you belong to where you can take on these skill areas and give them a go. It might be that you would like to see others doing it and copy them and that might mean that you can spend some time alongside an existing team leader, for example, growing your knowledge and skills.
The next step is to look for opportunities to use these learning activities, aligned with your learning style, and begin to think of what those opportunities might be and how you could avail yourself of them. It may be that the opportunity exists for you to shadow an existing team leader for maybe one day a week or a half day a week or over a number of weeks or months to see what they do, how they do it and begin to acquire the necessary insights to take on that role yourself.
Finally, the last step is to plan your best approach to fulfilling those learning activities. Create a 12 month plan and review it annually.
So that's the DEVELOP process that I suggest and from experience I have found it to be a very simple reminder of the basics to achieve personal development.

25 Patent Factoids
Luis Ibanez on October 11, 2010
25 Factoids about Patents
Notes taken from the book: "Patent Failure" by James Bessen and Michael J. Meurer
http://www.researchoninnovation.org/dopatentswork/
Patent Examiners get an average of 18 hours to read and understand a patent application and make sure that each claim is valid. Once awarded, the assignee can forbid everybody in the country to use the invention for a period of 20 years. Attempts to invalidate a patent can cost several million dollars in legal fees.
The mean number of claims in a patent application had grown from 9.94 to 14.87 between 1970 and the mid 1990s.
Courts resolve questions about the doctrine of equivalents (whether one invention is equivalent to another or not) about 55% as often as they resolve question of literal infringement.
Only 5% of the Software patents are acquired by the Software Publishing industry. Most of the software patents are actually acquired by firms in Electronics, Telecommunications and Computer Industries.
Only a small percentage of patent litigation can be attributed to the most egregious patent trolls
Most patents and most litigation does not come from independent inventors. The "lonely genius inventor" is a myth of the pro-patent culture.
If you are selling online, at the most recent count (in 2003) there are 4,319 patents you could be violating.
If you also planned to advertise, receive payments for, or plan shipments of your goods, you would need to be concerned with approximately 11,000 patents.
Continuing applications (a method that permits to keep patent claims hidden from the public) has increased seven fold since 1984 to about 120,000 per year in 2006.
The terms used in patent claims are allowed to change meaning over time as technology advances.
In 2001 the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit concluded that the definition of "point of sale location" included bedrooms, offices and anywhere else with an Internet connection.
Software patents are more than twice as likely to be litigated as other patents
Patents on methods of doing business, which are largely software patents, are nearly seven times more likely to be litigated.
Close to 200,000 Software Patents have been granted.
Software patents account for 38% of the total cost of patent litigation to public firms during the 1990s.
The Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit (CAFC) has increased its influence by expanding the range of patentable subject matter to include software, business methods, early-stage inventions and more. Normally extending the patentable subject matter should have required an Act of Congress.
The expected cost of defending patent lawsuits is estimated to be about 19% of the cost of R&D investment.
A legal "opinion letter" stating whether a given technology infringe on patents or not typically cost between $20,000 and $100,000 but yet carries little legal weight.
The Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit reverses the district court judge's construction of 34.5% of the claim terms appealed and this percentage has increased over the course of the 1990s.
Recent Federal Circuit cases have had to decide plausible disagreements over the meaning of the words:
"a", "or", "to", "on", "about", "including", and "through".
Thomas Edison was not the first inventor of the incandescent light bulb. He had many competitors, and his light bulb built on many earlier contributions. Sawyer and Man, were two competitors who obtained a light bulb patent before Edison achieved his famous invention and they sued Edison over patent infringement.
About 25% of all lawsuits between public firms involved firms that patented in very different technology classes and which were in unrelated industries.
Even though the Federal Circuit has strengthened patent rights by making changes to the law that reduce the probability of invalidity, the share of district courts decisions that invalidated a patent is still 27%.
A survey of members of the Intellectual Property Owners organization found that 65% disagreed with the statement: "We always do a patent search before initiating any R&D or product development effort". If patents were like land property, this is equivalent to say that 65% of building contractors will not check who is the owner of the land, before they start erecting a building in that piece of land.
In 2002 there were about 90,000 CPU-related patents held by over 10,000 parties, and 420,000 semi/system patents held by over 40,000 parties. If patents were like land property, a building contractor will have to consult with thousands of potential owners, and evaluate tens of thousands of potential land ownership titles concerning a piece of land. The entry cost of a new firm in this space is extremely high.
