Robert Leist promises real, relatable representation
Coshocton native seeks 72nd House District seat as write-in candidate
Leonard L. Hayhurst
Coshocton Tribune
Robert Leist is running as a write-in candidate for the 72nd District of the Ohio House, a seat held by Larry Householder.
The 51-year-old Coshocton native works for Kraft Heinz and has been active in local goverment.
His platform is centered around improvements to digital infrastructure, education, economy and drug crisis.
Leist want to make community a priority by reaching out constituents having quarterly meetings with local officials.
Editor's Note: This is the third installment of a four-part series profiling the write-in candidates seeking to replace Larry Householder in the Ohio 72nd District. The write-in candidates include Robert Leist and Kaitlyn Clark of Coshocton, Jay Conrad of New Lexington and Marci McCaulay of Thornville. Incumbent Larry Householder did not respond to our request to participate.
COSHOCTON – Robert Leist of Coshocton is running for the Ohio House of Representatives not only because he thinks the people of the 72nd District need a valid voice, but because his daughter and other youth deserve a future.
Incumbent Larry Householder (R-Glenford) was arrested in July. He was indicted on bribery and racketeering charges along with four other men related to $61 million in kickbacks for a $1 billion bailout of two nuclear power plants in northern Ohio. Householder was ousted as Speaker of the House, but he still holds his seat and is running unopposed for re-election in the fall general election. This has led to some write-in candidates, like Leist, taking a shot.
"It's very unique circumstances with Mr. Householder and I wanted to make sure our district had a viable option," Leist said. "I intend to be real, relatable representation."
Leist, 51, has worked for Kraft-Heinz for 31 years and is currently a maintenance coordinator for the plant in Coshocton.
He has served as a union steward for Kraft and as a central committee representative for District 7 for the Libertarian Party of Ohio. He worked on the campaign of Libertarian Travis Irvine, who ran for Ohio governor in 2018, and was a candidate for Coshocton City Council last fall. Leist was also a social media director for the Feldman Foundation. He currently sits on the Coshocton Board of Zoning Appeals and the Coshocton County Bike Path Committee.
"I've always had the ability to negotiate, to be the middleman, the mediator, if you will, between folks. I envision myself as the person standing in the middle of the aisle to bridge that gap and get the things done for Central Ohio that are necessary," Leist said. "My strong point would be as a unifier."
Leist has started communicating with leaders across the 72nd District, which includes Perry and Coshocton counties as well as parts of Licking County. He said he has been networking and familiarizing himself with other areas of the district. Despite the pandemic, Leist has been going out to meet people door to door and distribute yard signs.
Feedback has been good, Leist said, and, above all, people have appreciated him reaching out. One thing he's hearing is that communication with Householder's office hasn't been strong in some regions.
"It's my intention to increase that communication by holding, possibly, quarterly meetings with different city and county officials as a representative," Leist said. "I think a lot of people in the state legislature have lost touch. I don't think they can relate to people who have to work paycheck-to-paycheck and get their hands dirty. There's a bit of a disconnect."
Leist has been attending different webinars on state issues to educate himself on matters.
One included House Bill 13 regarding broadband internet across Ohio, which is a key issue for him. This includes securing funding, getting easements through utility companies for use of their infrastructure and using certain technology, like microwave and satellite, to reach remote areas.
"Digital infrastructure I think is a linchpin for everything else as far as tying it all together," Leist said. "First thing we've got to fight for is being able to fund that and securing those funds through the federal government and different pots of money from the state."
Leist's goals include defense of the Constitution, which he thinks should be a given for any elected official, and seeking improvements in the 72nd District related to education, digital infrastructure, economy and drug crisis.
He said the pandemic pointed out deficiencies in education, particularly where internet and digital device access were concerned. For the economy, technology can also help with working from home and growing businesses beyond brick and mortar. Telemedicine is another field he thinks the pandemic has pointed out that needs expanded.
"I'm very big on the digital infrastructure expanding. I think it will provide a great way to expand our economy," Leist said. "Hopefully, we can get call centers and other folks who could relocate to our district and contribute to our society."
Not just lip service
Leist became more politically active and civic minded after his daughter, who is now 8, was born. It made him a little more serious about at least maintaining the freedoms and opportunities he had growing up for her and the next generation.
However, he's also seen the quality of life slip for his friends and neighbors over the past few years as well with increased taxes and rising cost of living. They've worked hard, but nobody is fighting for them. Elected officials often give just lip service to get elected. That will never be him, he added.
"When you get to a certain point in your life, you start thinking about what you're leaving behind. You're not going to get anything written on your tombstone about winning a Facebook fight," Leist said. "You start to wonder, what have I done to really substantiate my time on this planet. Did I make this world a better place?"

SoFi Stadium pulls off feat with Google deal
Article by Coliseum, published September 16, 2020
Image: SoFi Stadium
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood (US) has almost pulled off a feat – technology giant Google has signed on as the latest commercial partner for the luxurious facility.
The deal was struck ahead of the first National Football League (NFL) game at the spectacular stadium on September 13th, 2020, with Los Angeles Rams 20-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
SoFi Stadium is a stadium and entertainment complex in Inglewood, California, United States – the multibillion dollar sports and entertainment center built by the NFL team Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke on the former Hollywood Park racetrack property. NFL teams Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers are the primary tenants of SoFi Stadium.
The multi-year deal will see Google Cloud power SoFi Stadium and the wider Hollywood Park complex's digital innovation experiences. Google subsidiary YouTube becomes the official video streaming sponsor of the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, with further details to be announced later this year.
Jason Gannon, Managing Director, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, remarked that Google's innovation and services will be a "critical component" to deliver Rams owner and Chairman Kroenke's vision to create the ultimate sports and entertainment destination.
Google will drive both business operations and consumer experiences at the 298-acre sports and entertainment destination, of which the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium is the kernel. Google Cloud technology will be employed in varied ways.
A personal concierge app, powered by Google Cloud and built by professional services company Deloitte, will help fans discover SoFi Stadium events, navigating their way through within the spiffy arena, locate parking space; optimize transportation for game day, provide digital credentials for building, club, and suite entry, and present personalized offers for tickets, food and shopping.
Cloud-based media workflow and optimization will power the stadium's videoboard, the largest in sports. Advanced data analytics will track business performance and enable Hollywood Park to offer one of a kind and personal recommendations to fans and guests.
In the future, Google and SoFi Stadium will explore media streaming and high-speed wireless solutions to facilitate visitors to get replays, unique angles, and exclusive 4K coverage on their mobile phones while attending events at the venue. In addition, SoFi Stadium will enjoy the world's first 4K/HDR live production capabilities within a sports facility.
Said Skarpi Hedinsson, Chief Technology Officer, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, "We couldn't have picked a better partner to manage our technology needs. Incorporating Google's solutions into critical areas of our business ensures we can usher in a new era of innovation in sports and entertainment, raising the bar on what the ultimate fan experience looks like globally."
Rob Enslin, Global President, Google Cloud, added, "It's an incredible honor to work with SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park as they create an interactive, smart experience destination enjoyed by sports and entertainment fans, residents and shoppers alike. This partnership shows the world what's possible when you combine the power of data with the excitement of entertainment and sports, and we're excited that Google Cloud will underpin the visitor experience."
SoFi Stadium recently staged a virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony. The facility, which at a reported cost of $5bn (£3.87bn/€4.25bn) is said to be the most expensive sports venue in history.
Prior to the Google deal, SoFi Stadium's most recent commercial partnership came last month as it and Allegiant Stadium, the new home of the Las Vegas Raiders, signed multi-year sponsorship contracts with brands owned by alcoholic beverages company Constellation Brands.

This is a hard one, but you captured the image perfectly. Nice job, Jana!
As I thought about the image all day, I wanted to write something like: Keep moving forward. Do not back up, or your love will be deflated. Cheesy, I know. But the tacks remind me of those sharp things you have to drive over when you are leaving a parking garage and you can't back up or they will pop your tires. I can't get the image out of my head!! Thank goodness for all these wonderful answers that will bring something new to mind. Yours included!
OUR LOVE IT TACKED TOGETHER FOREVER!!!
I love anything that talks about being together forever. A great answer, Linda!
Sometimes love can be painful.
Ouch! But, it's exactly the thought that this image screams! It's really a rather sad image, isn't it? Love your answer, Rita!
LOL That's the first thing that popped in my head.
Sometimes the first thing that pops into your mind is the best answer! Go with your gut! I love that song. Laura. Makes a great answer! I didn't see it before, but now I see that it does look like matches!
I thought it was tacks, but I have no idea what it really is! Doesn't matter, there are no wrong or right answers. I love the creative and original answers--and I love when everyone's answers include what they see, not what everyone else sees!
Thank you! Oh, I thought those were matches at first and I didn't get these answers lol. Time to change my contacts!! I'll say "Stuck on love."
You're welcome, Christy! I don't like to have the same person win too close together, but I also have to be honest and choose my favorite answer--and yours was my favorite. I asked several people their opinion, to help me choose, and every single person chose a different answer! There were a lot of good ones last week! You have a great answer this week as well!! Making it hard for me!
Your love knits a warm sweater around my heart.
Oh, I remember those! I guess they still make them! I had one as a child and I never did figure out how to use it. But I do see what you see! A very original answer, Natalie!
No worries! There are no right or wrong answers. I love originality! And I love how everyone sees something different!
There's no limit on how many answers you can give. I need to write that in the rules. On occasion someone has offered two answers. But it's never really been an issue! Guess I better clarify that, just to make things fair.
I agree, that song does go perfectly with the image. And now it's stuck in my head!! Thanks for another great answer, Natalie!
Hmmmm, another song to get stuck in my head! But those two words say it all, don't they? Two words and the image is described perfectly. Not an easy thing to do! Great job, Mary!
Ha! That made me laugh out loud! Isn't that the truth, though? Fantastic answer, bn!
You guys crack me up. Your answers are so great. Congrats Christy!
Your answer cracks me up too, Sherry! I LOVE it!!

Erysipelas is an infectious disease that is a major problem in layinghens, especially in organic production. The disease is caused by the bacteriumErysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (ER), which can infect a wide range of speciesincluding humans. Basic knowledge on immune responses to ER in chickens hasbeen lacking: however, we have recently monitored immune events duringexperimental infection of chickens and identified prominent responses ofheterophils and the acute phase protein mannose-binding lectin (MBL) concurrentwith bacteraemia during the early phases of infection. The ER capsule hasmannose as a major component and MBL has a function as an opsonin for phagocytosis.Thus, it is likely that the observed MBL responses in infected chickens play arole in the successful clearance of experimental ER infection observed in ourstudies. In contrast, the disease is often fatal under field conditions, makingthe identification of protective immune responses critical. At VetBioNetpartner AU there are two unique chicken lines (L10H and L10L) that have highand low MBL baseline levels and show high and low MBL responses upon microbialchallenge. We therefore propose to perform an ER infection experiment at the AUfacilities using these lines to further elucidate the role of MBL in thedefence against ER infection.

The Hamas Movement welcomed Friday the invitation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to hold dialogue with Fatah faction in Cairo and voiced its immediate response to this initiative, expressing hope that this call will find the same response from Fatah and PA chief Mahmoud Abbas."We welcome the invitation of president Mubarak to hold dialogue between Hamas and Fatah in Cairo and we appreciate this Egyptian position which is keen on the unity of the Palestinian people," Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas spokesman in Gaza, stated in an exclusive statement to the PIC.
Abu Zuhri underlined that any rejection by the Fatah faction of this invitation would hold it fully responsible for the persistence of internal division and the suffering of the Palestinian people. The Egyptian president announced Friday that his country is ready to mediate between the two factions to end the estrangement between them that have occurred since June last year, and pointed out that Egypt had asked the estranged Palestinian factions to return to negotiations without preconditions.
The Egyptian head of state considered in a press interview that the rupture between Fatah and Hamas does not only weaken the Palestinian position, but also the PA negotiator who seeks to find a solution to the Palestinian issue.With regard to the developments at the borders between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, the Hamas spokesman underlined his Movement"s insistence on breaking the siege and opening all crossings especially the Rafah crossing.Abu Zuhri called on the Egyptian leadership to confront the Zio-American pressures, which call for the closure of the Rafah crossing, and to continue facilitating the movement of citizens in order to purchase their basic needs.
The spokesman underscored that Hamas got information that the PA leadership in Ramallah had conducted contacts with external parties, hostile to the Palestinian people, to pressure Egypt to stop any facilities provided to Gaza citizens and to re-close the Rafah crossing.For its part, the caretaker government headed by premier Ismail Haneyya welcomed the call launched by the Egyptian president to resume mediation between Fatah and Hamas, adding that this call comes in the context of Egypt"s historic role in support of the Palestinian people.

Q: How often does a PageSpeed Insights score get updated? I'm curious to know how frequently PageSpeed Insights, or maybe I should say Lighthouse, refreshes it's data, or does it generate the score live at the time the user submits the URL for analysis? So, if I run an analysis of a URL at 9am, then I push a bunch of improvements to that page into production at 10am, how soon could I expect to see those changes reflected in my PageSpeed Insights score?

A: Changes are reflected immediately in the 'lab' tests (i.e. when you enter your URL and press 'analyze') and they do not cache anything so any changes will be reflected instantly.
If your site has enough data for real world test information these are updated every 1-7 days depending on your traffic.

The Australian Universities with the best employment rates
August 29, 2017 By Good Education Group No comments yet ATAR, Chris Lester, employment outcomes, Good Education Group, The Good Universities Guide, Year 12
Are you a Year 12 student working your butt off to ensure you achieve a high enough ATAR score to attend the prestigious Melbourne University, or Sydney University?
These two institutes have some of the highest entrance scores in the country, yet they don't make top five when it comes to starting salaries for graduates or full-time employment outcomes.
Nor do they make the top 10 in staff qualifications or overall experience – which measures engagement, resources, skills development, support and teaching quality.
According to this year's Good Universities Guide, Bond University was ranked the best for overall experience followed by Notre Dame and Edith Cowan University.
In terms of full-time employment outcomes, it was the lesser known Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Charles Darwin University (CDU) which claimed first and second place.
Notre Dame, the University of New England (UNE) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) rounded out the top five.
Sydney University slotted into ninth place with Melbourne's RMIT coming in at 14th.
84 percent of Charles Sturt graduates are likely to find full-time work within just four months of finishing their degree.
In addition, graduates of CDU and CSU are the most likely to earn the highest paid starting salaries, followed by UNE and Notre Dame.
Sydney University graduates are only expected to earn average an annual salary of $56,000 compared to just $53,500 for Melbourne University graduates.
Speaking to Fairfax Media, chief executive of the Good Education Group Chris Lester said the in-demand universities are falling behind their lesser known counterparts.
He said this is likely because the majority of their students are school leavers and not mature-age students.
"Now, people [coming to university] straight out of school are finding it difficult to get a job," Mr Lester said.
He then explained that the universities which offer graduate programs and internships are more likely to have more students landing full-time roles.
Mr Lester praised the University of Wollongong for specifying its graduate programs.
"Some of the things they say they're (University of Wollongong) doing is trying to make sure that someone's not just a number, and having differentiated programs for different students," Mr Lester said.
He also noted that high entry scores and high demand university are sometimes sought after because of their reputation rather than quality.

In the heavy-shipping districts of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee, very few log barns are now built. They are more troublesome to build than framed barns,

and cannot be provided with so many conveniences. At present, framed barns are constructed of all dimensions, from 20 to 48 feet square, with doors entering through the three divisions of the barns high and wide enough to pass through with a loaded wagon. Figs. 29, 30 ana 31 give a good idea of a modern framed barn in the heavy-tobacco regions. The passageways are about 12$ feet wide between the sills, though from outside to outside is 40 feet. These passage ways are separated by sills set on stone pillars. The posts set on the outside sills are 15 feet high, capped by a stout plate 4x6 inches. At the hight of nine feet from the level of the sill, the first set of girders, 4x3 inches, is let in the posts from the outside. The second set of girders is placed three feet above the first, and the plate, which answers in the place of a girder, three feet higher on

the top of the outside set of posts. The two sets of posts set on the inside sills are 21 feet high, and girders are let in at 9, 12, 15 and 18 feet from the level of the sills, and stout plates put on the top of these central parts. Tier poles are arranged 3 feet 10 inches apart on the girders. Between the high central posts there are 10 tiers arranged horizontally and 5 vertically, besides the collar beams in the roof, thus giving 50 tier poles in the center of the barn and 10 collar beams, each of the latter 7 feet long.
On each side there will be 10 tier poles arranged horizontally and three vertically, giving for both sides 60 tier poles 13 feet long. Add the collar beams, which will average about half the length of the tier poles, and there will be 10 additional ones. These, all added together, will give 125 tiers, capable of holding each about 20 sticks, making the capacity of such a barn about 2500 sticks, or with room enough to house * about six acres of heavy tobacco. c In such a barn, doors are made B to enter between the four sets of sills.

The planks, or boards, for inclosing the barn are nailed to the sills, girders and plates. In arranging the tier poles, which are 3x4 inches, every alternate one should rest on the girder beside a post, the posts on the sides of the barn being eight feet apart. The tier poles are arranged perpendicular to the sides. The entire cost of such a barn is about $250 to $300, varying somewhat according to the prices of lumber and the wages of rough carpenters.
Many barns are constructed Fio. 42. Sectional View, without any silla whatever, the posts resting upon flat rocks. These seem to be as durable as those in which sills are used. The bracing must be well done, however. Several of this style are shown in Figs. 32, 33 and 34.
A method of building barns with excavations, or cellars, has recently been practiced in some of the heavy tobacco districts. A log or framed barn is erected, with the first tier poles put in about three feet from the surface of the ground. The center is then excavated to the depth of seven or eight feet. It is claimed that the fires built in the bottom of such an excavation or cellar may be better regulated, that they are not disturbed by
FIG. 43. BASEMENT OF SNOW BARN, SHOWING STOVES SET IN BRICK ARCHES, AND PiPES THROUGH WHICH HOT AIR IS DISTRIBUTED.
winds, and that the danger of setting the barn on fire is greatly lessened. A large amount of valuable space is secured also. It is likewise claimed that the moisture arising from the cellar will bring the tobacco in condition to be handled without the necessity of waiting for rains or humid weather.
Experiments made as to the best localities for building barns justify the conclusion that low places, free from overflows or standing water, are to be preferred. High situations dry cut tobacco too rapidly, and it is much more difficult in such places to have the cured product come into uniform condition for handling. Land sloping to the east is thought to be a good situation for a barn, if furnaces are to be used for curing the
tobacco. The reason for such a selection is that the western winds are most prevalent during tie curing season, and the smoke issuing from the chimneys or flues should be blown away from the barn.
In the White Burley district all the tobacco is air cured, and the tobacco houses are, or should be, so constructed that the air may be freely admitted or excluded,

Church Action on Poverty loses battle to boycott loans company
Church Action on Poverty has accused NCVO of undermining the campaigning activities of many of its own members by refusing to stop taking sponsorship money from door-to-door lender Provident Financial.
Provident sponsors NCVO's MP secondment scheme, where MPs spend time with a voluntary organisation.
Debt on our Doorstep, a coalition of more than 150 groups, including CAP, challenged the umbrella body about the sponsorship earlier this year.
The coalition claimed the relationship breached NCVO's ethical funding guidelines on the basis that the interest rates charged by Provident are "extortionate", given the very low incomes of some of its customers.
NCVO invited both parties to present their case at a hearing in September, and found in Provident's favour.
Ben Kernighan, NCVO's director of membership services, said: "On the evidence presented to us, we considered that Provident Financial does not breach the ethical fundraising guidelines that have been agreed by the NCVO's board.
"In making our decision we took into careful account all the evidence provided to us."
In a letter to CAP explaining its decision, NVCO said the council considered the benefit to the sector of the work that Provident funds.
The letter said that because of its "broad mission and diverse membership", NCVO could not exclude all funders that individual member organisations might reject.
"We recognised that some NCVO members campaigning against poverty and financial exclusion would not take money from the company but, on balance, many would because they would recognise the lack of options for people on a low income."
Campaign co-ordinator Niall Cooper said Debt on our Doorstep was "very disappointed" by NCVO's decision.
"A significant number of Debt on our Doorstep members are members of NCVO, and for NCVO to say that Provident is the kind of company it is happy to do business with undermines the campaigning activities of many of its members."
He said the company has 40 per cent of the market for door-to-door lending.
"The sad irony is that these clients are typically those served by voluntary organisations," he said.
The Church of England sold its investment in Provident two years ago because of ethical doubts about the nature of the business.
Provident said its 1.6 million customers appreciate the access to credit it provides, the convenience and flexibility of the service, and the absence of default and penalty charges.

Download episode >
Steve Harper is a television writer, playwright, and creativity coach. Credits include the ABC series, "American Crime", and USA Networks, "Covert Affairs". His web series, "Send Me," has won multiple awards and garnered an Emmy nom for its lead actress.
On this week's episode of the "5 Things That Changed Your Life" podcast Steve discusses…
Trading in my electric typewriter for a Mac: During college (and then after) I drank the Apple Computer kool-aid and eventually spent 10 years teaching computer skills to people of all ages.
Discovering The Actors Work Program: As a broke actor, I stumbled into the Actors Fund and found this social-services division that taught me how to expand my skill-set and my resume to get "meaningful sideline employment". Today I do all kind of work even as I pursue by art in many abundant ways.
Hosting a Baltimore Kids Show: I was hired in the early '90s to co-star in, co-produce and co-write a wacky kids show on the Fox affiliate in Baltimore and used more of my creative juices that I had previously used on one project.
Creating a web series: After writing on a TV show for a few years, I decided to create my own series for the web with a crazy premise (about time travel to the days of slavery) – without really having a game plan before I started. We ultimately got nominated for an Emmy.
Doing the ManKind Project Weekend: I took the leap to follow a friend's advice and participated in this weekend workshop around emotional literacy for men and my life took a turn for the better.

Season 02 – Episode 02 – Heidi Rose Robbins
For season 2, episode 2 of the "5 Things That Changed Your Life" podcast, I sat down with HEIDI ROSE ROBBINS where she discusses:
Declaring "I'm a poet with a map of the heavens in my pocket" – Reclaiming and naming myself an artist/poet and not just/ only an astrologer/teacher.
An audition at Age 11 in Fargo North Dakota – facing fear, discovering true devotion and passion, my first experience of artistic community.
Meeting Sofia Diaz – my teacher even today – blasted me open- embodiment of fierce love
A very scary plane trip off the coast of Australia- my warrior friend and I face the possibility of a crash

Heidi Rose Robbins is a poet dedicated to helping others embody the experience of love. Those who read her poems and attend her readings and retreats often speak of feeling woken up to the best parts of themselves, of rediscovering a vitality and tenderness long-buried. In 2013 Heidi published her first book of poetry, Beckoning Ceaseless Beauty.
In 2007, she and five other like-minded "love warriors" embarked on the Hello Love Experiment, a radical year-long tour of sparking discussions of love and connection throughout the US. Following Hello Love, Heidi created Radiant Life Retreats to help grow a capacity for love through the communal exploration of poetry, movement, and friendship.

When I started my career as a developer, I faced that I should do more than just writing code. I needed to communicate to other people including teams and customers in other countries and even on different continents.
Skype and Slack didn't exist at that time. An email was our primary tool for communication.
When I was writing a response to a business email for the first time, I realized that I had no idea how to do that. Luckily for me, Google did exist in 2006.
Your communication should be long as necessary. Never longer. You can lose someone when your message isn't clear and concise.
Put yourself in recipient's position and imagine what questions she can have.
When you ask an open question, that requires more time and effort than yes/no/a/b/etc, there is a risk that you would never get a response. The recipient most likely will mark the email with a flag to act on it later. But it might be too late.
Nothing personal, most likely you would do the same thing once you start receiving hundreds of emails per day.
Nothing personal, people often just don't have time to read all emails they receive.
If you doubt what to write, google it. You would find tons of template for emails on the internet.

About AWTW
Making sense of Sartre
French Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre acquired celebrity status mostly thanks to his literary and theatrical productions during the middle to late 1940s. He is still widely associated with Parisian café society, an unconventional life-style and provocative political stands. He remains the only person to turn down the Nobel Prize, which was offered to him in 1964. He opposed the French colonial war in Algeria, supported war resisters and risked arrest by taking part in illegal demonstrations. Later he opposed the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, and in the 1960s denounced the Vietnam war. Sartre scholar Maria Antonietta Perna looks at a new introduction to his writings.
Robert Bernasconi has tackled the Promethean task of condensing the writings of one of the most prolific among the great philosophers of the 20th century into under a hundred pages. Bernasconi, a widely recognised expert in Continental philosophy, seems acutely aware both of the tortuousness of Sartre's prose and of the arduous task of conveying his thought through a limited selection of extracts.
Each extract is accompanied by a mini-lecture which aims to set the text in its appropriate context, to provide links with other philosophers' ideas, and to explain the core ideas. Granta's How to Read guide encompasses both the very early work written during the mid to late-1930s and those belonging to his later, dialectical phase.
Bernasconi does not shirk from the task of dealing with some of Sartre's most difficult ideas. The first chapter, I Too Was Superfluous, presents the well-known episode in Nausea when Roquentin, the protagonist in the novel, experiences the lack of intrinsic meaning, which Sartre calls the "contingency" of existence, while looking at a chestnut tree in the park of the provincial (fictional) town of Bouville. There are scholarly references to Sartre's notion of contingency and theoretical connections with Sartre's later philosophical masterpiece, Being and Nothingness.
Outside, In The World, Among Others presents the short essay Intentionality, which is Sartre's earliest attempt at producing original philosophy. Bernasconi's discussion enlightens the reader as to the philosophical co-ordinates of Sartre's earlier thought. These were Descartes, Bergson, and, especially, Husserl and Heidegger, who provided the inspirational sources for Sartre's turn towards the phenomenological method in philosophy.
Hell Is Other People is just one example, perhaps the most widely recognised one, of the kind of catchy slogans with which Sartre's works are often sprinkled. It is taken from the play No Exit, which was successfully shown in Paris for the first time in 1944. The battle between Self and Other raging on stage smoothly leads up to He Is Playing At Being A Waiter In A Café, which tackles a major theme of Being and Nothingness and of Sartrean philosophy as a whole, namely, "bad faith", or as some, less appropriately in my view, call it, "self-deception".
Discussion of Being and Nothingness continues in In War There Are No Innocent Victims. Bernasconi clarifies what he considers as Sartre's view of the relations between "human reality" and its situation, between freedom and constraints, and, the place of responsibility within this framework. As Bernasconi points out, such notions provide the unifying thread in Sartre's developing thought and acquire ever more richness as he begins to struggle with, and eventually elaborate, his own view of dialectics.
The Authentic Jew Makes Himself further confirms Sartre's involvement with socio-political problems. I would like to remark that during and soon after World War II the horror of the Holocaust had not entirely sunk in: it was still kept at the periphery of public debate and the plight of the Jewish people was by and large being ignored. By writing Anti-Semite and Jew in 1944, Sartre broke the silence, although the complete version of the essay was published only in 1946. Bernasconi does mention the many criticisms with which this essay was received and Sartre's ignorance of Jewish history. However, he also insightfully points out that the focus of Sartre's argument was not scholarly or historical, but it was part of his project of engaged philosophy.
The conflictual dynamic between the Jew and the anti-Semite is grounded in the battle between Self and Other as illustrated in Being and Nothingness. But the novelty with respect to that earlier work consists in the fact that more weight is now put, quite significantly, on the constraining impact of the world, as an essentially anti-Semitic world, on the self-choice and possibilities for action of the Jewish people. Bernasconi rightly notes that "Sartre's essay is not to be understood as an academic study, but as a dramatic intervention relating to a pressing problem of the moment. It was one of the first of many occasions when he would show how his philosophy had the power not only to illuminate reality, but to work towards changing it".
The Eyes of the Least Favoured discusses and contextualises Sartre's controversial defence of the Communist Party as it is articulated in Communists and Peace, the first part of which appeared in July 1952 in Les temps modernes, the magazine founded by Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his life-long companion. "You cannot fight the working class" – Sartre writes here – "without becoming the enemy of men and of yourself." As things appeared to Sartre at the time, one could not be on the workers' side and at the same time be against the Communist Party.
Sartre distinguishes between the mass of the workers and the proletariat: "It is only as the proletariat that the workers are the subject of history; that is why Sartre thought that the Communist Party was indispensable". Bernasconi rightly stresses the importance of the third part of Communists and Peace, which was published in 1954, for an understanding of the development of Sartre's thought. Here he discusses the problems relating to the differentiation, and the fragmentation and conflict within the working class to which it gives rise, between skilled, unskilled and semi-skilled workers. He introduces the notion of "emancipatory violence" as "humanism in action", which was to be developed in the well-known 1961 Preface to Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth. Here, Sartre makes explicit the following principle: "The demands of the least favoured members of society express the truth of a society, not least because their interests are often in clear contradiction with the values espoused by that society itself."
Sartre's 'fellow-travelling' with the Communist Party underwent ups and downs until it came to an end on the occasion of the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. In the fourth and last part of Communists and Peace entitled The Ghost of Stalin, Sartre offers a more dialectical reading of the role of the party in the liberation of the proletariat: "The Party had served a mediating role that was indispensable but it had solidified its structures in such a way as to compromise its usefulness."
A Future More or Less Blocked Off and Man Is Violent, contain extracts and accompanying discussion of Search for a Method and Critique of Dialectical Reason respectively. Both works expound Sartre's existential reading of Marx's thought. Sartre refers to Engels' statement as a weapon against economic determinism in Marxism; namely: "Men themselves make their history but in a given environment which conditions them." In Bernasconi's words, "…authentic Marxism maintains that under conditions of exploitation man is both a historical agent and a product of his product. The task [Sartre] set himself was to think both ideas together. This called for a new understanding of dialectics."
Bernasconi once again brings to light the shortcomings of the Critique, such as its lack of clarity and occasional repetitions. However, he perceptively recognises the work's tremendous theoretical import and does not hesitate to refer to it, most appropriately in my view, as a "masterpiece, perhaps the great work of political philosophy of the twentieth century".
Bernasconi's is an excellent introduction. Key concepts are explained in a user-friendly manner. The continuity and development of Sartre's thought is explained in line with the emerging and deepening of his concerns for the socio-political situation of his days, and the original texts are thoughtfully selected and insightfully expounded. Just one reservation: some complex ideas might have benefited from more in-depth discussion. Bernasconi's scholarship has been sacrificed on the altar of accessibility, at least in some places.

I hope you are going to follow up with a video on reinstalling the battery. Reinstalling it is tricky because of the restraining bracket. I find that putting the battery in at an angle and then sliding the bracket in from the side seems to be the easiest way to do this.
I've had no problem removing & re-installing the battery on my CBR250R. Shouldn't really be any different on the 300R.

Elijah is making good progress. Last week in therapy (3/29/02) he blew bubbles. This may not seem like much, but for Elijah is was a major step. Elijah stayed for an extra hour of therapy that day. Elijah has also started saying "baa baa(short a)" when he sees a duck. His version of "quack quack".
At our next therapy session (04/03/02) Elijah talked up a storm. He impressed his therapist with his "baa baa" for the duck. It was very strong and loud. He didn't blow bubbles this week, but did almost make a /p/ sound. He was blowing out which he has never done and his lips were puckered some. He also said "momomomaaa" a lot. He signed "more" at therapy when he wanted to play with something. He also waved "bye bye" on his own without being prompted.
We came home from therapy quite excited. Unfortunately Elijah ran a fever that night and the next day. David did not take him to therapy. He took Elijah to the pediatrician instead, who said it was probably viral and would run its course. By Thursday night the fever was gone and Elijah was on the mend.
Elijah waved "bye bye" and made a vocalization all on his own when a neighbor left our house that Thursday night. This was big for him. He also signs "more" which for him means he needs more of something, or just wants something. He has the sweetest face when he signs it. Elijah also turned to the TV later that night when he heard some music and bopped his head with the music.
The parent infant TOD came out on Friday to see Elijah. He was shy around her and cried some. He did sign more for her and made an "mmmmmmm" when he signed it. He also did his infamous "baa baa" for his duck. He played a lot and made some great vocalizations. She thought he was doing well. We discussed possible options for his schooling next year, but it seems so far away.
Over the weekend, Elijah started making more sounds with blowing. He seemed to be trying to make a /p/ again. He has also become quite loud when he is mad or just wants some attention. I am trying to work on getting him to quiet by gesturing /sh/ and voicing it. I don't think he gets it!!
I took Elijah to his next therapy session (4/10/02). He did great, considering that his mouth was hurting him. He had a fever blister. His /p/ is emerging. He is trying so hard to make that sound. He also made an /l/ sound, but he moved his tongue back and forth instead of the usual way. He was stuck on /m/ also and saying "boom boom boom". He did a lot with his tongue today. He made a car noise while moving a toy car. He really got his tongue and lips moving. He also did a trill(making a car type noise but in the back of the mouth) sound today. He is just experimenting with all kinds of sounds. He was his usual squirm worm and the I sternly told him "no no". The therapist also scolded him by shaking her finger and saying "no no Elijah.". Oh did we hurt his feelings. He put his head down and cried. She patted his back and told him that it was "OK". We got out a new toy and he perked up. Thankfully, he got the message and stopped squirming. He is definitely hitting the terrible twos!
A lot has happened this month. On May 9th, I was cooking dinner. Elijah reached up and tried to touch a hot pot. I signed and said "hot". He immediately copied me. He signed hot and said "ho". I was thrilled. I sat with him at the warm oven and we touched it several times. I said and signed "hot" each time. On Mother's Day, May 12th, we went to my mother's house for dinner. He tried to get near the hot grill. I went to move him and he said "ho ho". I then said "Yes, hot, no touch, HOT". He has since used "ho" several more times in different situations. Around the middle of the month my boss came out for her PIP visit with Elijah. He played very well and showed off his car noises. We put a cow and horse puzzle pieces in front of him. She asked him "Where is moooo?" and he looked at the cow. I then asked "where is 'trot trot'? and he pointed to the horse. I have tried playing this game with him again, but he is way to busy to slow down for me. I plan on working on this over the summer and also on discrimination.
Elijah continues to turn to his name very well. The last week of May he really started using "uh oh", but he says "uh uh". He puts his little hands on his face with such a look of dismay. We also had to order him a new microphone. Cochlear overnighted us one when the microphone stopped working. We used the lapel microphone until then.
Elijah has also signed "out" when he was by the back door. I think he is beginning to understand the word "out" when I say it. I am still emphasizing it. We just seem to do a lot of talking in planned in unplanned activities. Elijah has also started asking for his processor. When he wakes up from a nap I will usually wait a few minutes to put it back on. He has seen it a few times and pointed to it and looked at me. I put it on him and he seems very happy.
Elijah has been sick some this month and a lot of time has been eaten up with nebulizer treatments and the such. Sometimes I feel like we just don't put enough time in with him, but then he signs out and I feel like we are. He also has a cute sound he makes for the cat. It is like "owww" a little bit, I guess from me saying "meow". He has definitely turned into a little boy. He loves cars. He will play at the train table with his car making all kinds of noises while he drives. He has also become quite stubborn.

Q: How to understand the git commit ID I have a git repository and worked there for a few months. Now I want to go back to a commit in the history. I listed the history by running:
git log -3

This showed the previous 3 commits. Then I choose one commit I want to go and ran:
git checkout 77486083c985e6858b8aecd6a085e2f028885b4b

After that, I think my HEAD have been changed to that commit. When I run git status I get:
HEAD detached at 6b90718
nothing to commit, working directory clean

I don't understand where "6b90718" came from. How can I read this ID? If I want to show a list of commit where I am current is, how can I do that?

A: I was wrong. Below is my now fixed answer.

After than, I think my HEAD have been changed to that commit.

git checkout changes your HEAD and makes your working directory look like the directory represented at the commit you give it, in this case 7748608. What it does not do is change any branch references. What it means to have a detached HEAD is that your HEAD ref doesn't point to any branch refs. If you make any commits you will branch away from any other branch history. Here's an example from the git checkout man page:
$ edit; git add; git commit

     HEAD (refers to commit 'e')
      |
      v
      e
     /
a---b---c---d  branch 'master' (refers to commit 'd')
    ^
    |
  tag 'v2.0' (refers to commit 'b')

In this example, the HEAD was detached to point at b and then a commit was made (commit e). Because e is not referenced by any branch or tag refs, it risks being deleted when the git garbage collector next runs. This is the danger of having a detached HEAD and is the reason git warns you when you have one.
Back to your question, though:
HEAD detached at 6b90718

This is saying that your HEAD is detached (it doesn't point at any branch ref) and it's letting you know that your HEAD is referencing commit 6b90718. The fact that it's 6b90718 and not 7748608 looks strange, but if you made any commits after the checkout then it makes perfect sense. 7748608 would be like b in the above example, and 6b90718 would be e.

A:
If I want to show a list of commit where I am current is, how can I do that?

git log, gitk, or gitg.

I don't understand where "6b90718" came from

"I choose one commit I want to go"

What to do next depends on what you want to do exactly, and whether or not you've pushed upstream and whether or not you have people who have pulled from that.
If you just want to make some changes from the point you've checked out (and either update or re-do or delete the changes that follow), see a previous answer here.

Q: libvirt error when trying to 'hot' attach-disk on guest with "Channel qemu-ga" I have KVM virtual machine running CentOS 7 as guest OS. I'm trying to attach an additional disk to it on the run (without shutting it down) using this command:
$ sudo virsh attach-disk centos --source /var/lib/libvirt/images/newdisk.img --target sdb --persistent

But receive an error:
error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error: cannot update AppArmor profile 'libvirt-d2e7bbb8-c7b3-44ec-b0ea-27539e0df732'

If I do the same with Debian guest - everything is ok.
What is difference, how to solve that?
UPDATE:
I have a comment!
I compared two VM's xml and saw that CentOS have QEMU-agent in his configuration:
<channel type="unix">
    <source mode="bind" path="/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/centos_auto.org.qemu.guest_agent.0"></source>
    <target name="org.qemu.guest_agent.0" type="virtio"></target>
    <address bus="0" controller="0" port="1" type="virtio-serial"></address>
</channel>

Then I removed "channel qemu-ga", restarted VM and checked "hot add" feature. It worked.
I tested it on other VMs (CentOS, Fedora, Debian) and saw the same.
As a result:

*

*If enable qemu-agent i cannot use hot plug.

*If use "hot plug" i must forget about agent.

Is it my mistake in configuration or these features can't work together?
Host-OS: Ubuntu 15.10
QEMU emulator: now 2.4.92 (tested 2.3 and 2.4.1)
VMM: 1.3.0

A: This is a clear bug in the apparmor security driver for libvirt. The existence of the QEMU guest agent config in the XML should have no impact on ability to hotplug disks to a guest. This bug should be reported to the libvirt upstream, or Ubuntu bug trackers.

Why Now Is the Time to Visit Fez, Morocco | Conde Nast
Updated September 10, 2015 03:30 PM EDT
Why Fez has become an ideal place to introduce yourself to Morocco:
Quietly and ever so subtly, a new generation of designers, restaurateurs, and hoteliers have brought a fresh dimension to Morocco's most beguiling city—while staying true to its age-old traditions and singular spirit.
There are cities we love because they're always in flux; shape-shifters whose primary currency is the new, the innovative, the unexpected. And then there are cities we love because they never seem to change: Year after year, trip after trip, they appear as we remember them, a memory obligingly and reassuringly coming to life before us.
For many years, Fez, Morocco's ancient seat of learning, was a member of the latter group, memorable not for its new hotels or shops but for the reliable sameness of its picturesque medina, a series of threadlike streets that at every turn seem to burrow, warren-like, deeper and deeper into the earth and into the past. You went to Marrakech, 240 miles to the southwest, to shop its concept boutiques and stay in one of its many luxury properties; you went to Fez to pretend you were still visiting the Morocco of Paul Bowles, when donkeys, not motorcycles or cars, were the preferred means of conveyance. Or of Edith Wharton, whose 1920 book In Morocco documented her travels there. "Nothing endures in Islam, except what human inertia has left standing and its own solidity has preserved from the elements," wrote Wharton of Fez's particular palimpsestic quality, its varied but harmonious sense of aesthetics, each enriched by the city's earliest settlers: Berbers, Africans, Persians…[FULL STORY]

I'm not a big person and neither is my wife but the seat area of this noodle chair has barely enough material to call it a seat and unless we have noodles with an unusually slippery surface the solid material the webbing is sewn to keeps sliding off the noodle on each side, which causes us to get out of the chair, adjust the material, and try to sit again in a seat that doesn't have quite enough material. Looks great, well made, but not quite large enough. We can't imagine how big people use this product.

McCallister House
The McCallister House, built in 1881, is an Italianate style home located on Putnam Avenue in Hurricane, West Virginia. The home was built by William "Bill Mac" McCallister, the first president of Putnam County bank. McCallister and his family lived in the residence until his death in 1925. Since then the house has been home to many families and businesses including, a law office and blind company, which remains there today. Renovations were made to the property in the late 1970s and again in the 2010s.
McCallister House (Present Day)

In 1881, William "Bill Mac" McCallister built a home near his business on Putnam Avenue in Hurricane. The McCallister property bordered the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and North Main Street. The Italianate style house was constructed by Yance Hill and Bill Martin using bricks fired on-site with McCallister's own kiln. The bricks were used both as foundation for the house and insulation between the walls. The two-story house contains features such as bay windows across the front, a pediment in the center, ornamental bracketed eaves and decorative corner boards, all of which are indicative of the Italianate style. At the time of its construction, the McCallister house was one of the most impressive homes in the Hurricane area.
In addition to being the first president of the Putnam County Bank, McCallister also operated a farm in Culloden, and a general store located near his home on Putnam Avenue. In addition to the house and general store, the property also contained two more store buildings, a barn, and stables. McCallister was a shrewd business man and his property and home displayed the prosperity he had in his endeavors during the post-Civil War railroad boom that sparked growth throughout the town of Hurricane.
Beginning in 1925, after the death of McCallister, ownership of the home was passed through different members of the family and others in the community until it was acquired by Tom and Mary Blasingim in the late 1970s. The house not only served as a home for the Blasingims, but it also served as the residence of Mary's law office. In 1979 the Blasingims began renovating and remodeling different parts of the house, including the roof and porch. It was renovated and rejuvenated again by the current owners in the late 2010s. The McCallister house still stands as a reminder of one of the greatest businessmen to take up residence in Hurricane.

One of the largest studies to date shows no evidence that Waste-to-Energy plants affect babies
One of the largest studies to date on health risks of municipal waste incineration was published on the online version of Environment International.
Funded by Public Health England, UK universities and public institutions, the study analysed the potential effect on births of PM10 emissions from almost all Municipal Waste Incinerators (MWI) in operation in UK between 2003-2010 (therefore operating under current EU IED standards). More than a million births in proximity of MWI were assessed according to the following parameters: birth weight, small for gestational age at term, stillbirth, neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality, multiple births, sex ratio and preterm delivery.
The research team "found no evidence for increased risk of a range of birth outcomes, including birth weight, preterm delivery and infant mortality, in relation to either MWI emissions or living near an MWI operating to the current EU waste incinerator regulations in Great Britain." They suggest that the study should be generalisable to other MWIs operating to similar regulations and with similar waste streams.

6 K-12 districts to watch in 2020
Where some see gains with student success and technological innovation, others continue to face takeover threats and lawsuits.
Published Jan. 13, 2020

School districts nationwide face myriad challenges and successes heading into the new year. Where some jurisdictions see gains with student success and technological innovation, others continue to face takeover threats and lawsuits. Others are confronted with growing pains amid population booms bred by local business growth.
As we continue into the new year, here are six districts worth keeping an eye on.
San Diego Unified School District, California
While the most recent National Assessment of Education Progress provided few results to celebrate, the San Diego Unified School District was one district participating in the Trial Urban District Assessment that continues to see gains in reading and math in both 4th and 8th grades.
Last year, SDUSD was among seven districts in California that the Learning Policy Institute recognized for being a "positive outlier" because students are scoring higher than would be predicted, based on demographics. Among the improvements researchers noted in the report: emphasis on principals being instructional leaders, organizing Common Core standards in a way that are "manageable" for teachers and matching graduation requirements with standards for admission to the states' university systems.
This year, the district began building on its work by adding "enhanced math" classes — without a test prerequisite — that it hopes will address the issue that black and Hispanic students and those from lower-income homes are less likely to take advanced math classes than white, Asian and more-advantaged students.
The question is whether the district's increasing financial troubles will affect the classroom. With a projected $70 million budget deficit next year, officials are saying that layoffs are possible. As with other large districts in the state, such as Los Angeles and Oakland, leaders are also placing blame on the state legislature for providing far less per-student funding than in other states.
Paradise Unified School District, California
With newly appointed superintendent Tom Taylor, the Paradise Unified School District, north of Sacramento, continues to rebuild and recover from the deadly and devastating Camp Fire, which burned down or damaged most of its nine school buildings in November 2018.
Michelle John, who became superintendent in early 2018 and oversaw reopening of schools in off-site locations following a three-week closure, announced her retirement in the fall.
As with natural disasters that have struck other districts in recent years, enrollment is significantly less than before the fire because families have been forced to relocate. The district has about 1,770 students — roughly half as many as before the fire — and separate schools have been combined onto single campuses.
"While we are going to be smaller, it will not stop us from thinking big," Taylor, a graduate of PUSD schools, wrote in his letter to parents last month. He emphasized progress, such as the construction of a new gym at what is now Paradise Junior and Senior High School, and the opportunity for 7th and 8th graders to take more electives because they are on the high school campus.
Providence Public Schools, Rhode Island
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo and Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green announced a takeover of the district in November, just months after parents urged state intervention and a scathing report from Johns Hopkins University detailed the district's "deep, systemic dysfunctions" that "clearly, and very negatively, impact the opportunities of children in Providence."
The report found that in the district of 24,000 students — many of them from minority and low-income backgrounds — a majority weren't learning "even near" grade level, teachers felt demoralized and unsupported, and principals struggled to demonstrate leadership. In her takeover announcement, Infante-Green reasoned that despite significant funding increases from state, Providence continued to chronically underperform.
While the decision was mostly uncontested by parents, students and even the board, continued community involvement and input throughout the turnaround could be key for success. So far, an interim superintendent, Frances Gallo, has been appointed. But significant overhauls, including new leadership, are expected to take place in the 2020-2021 school year. While the board is expected to remain in place, Infante-Green will have sweeping authority over school closures, hiring and firing personnel, contract negotiations, curriculum changes and budgets.
At the same time, a federal lawsuit filed by Providence students and their parents, and brought before Chief Judge William E. Smith at the U.S. District Courthouse in Providence, also brings into question the quality of civics education in the state. The case will be appealed in the 1st Circuit and could, depending on other similar lawsuits, eventually bring the nature of the right to education to the Supreme Court's attention.
Houston Independent School District, Texas
Texas too attempted a takeover of its largest district in November, citing the school board's "breakdown in governance" and one chronically underperforming high school as reasons. After a legal battle ensued between Texas authorities and the school district in a last-ditch effort to prevent state control, a state judge recently granted a preliminary injunction to the district that would block the state from immediately taking over until a final ruling is announced.
The legal struggle is expected to continue. If a takeover does occur, the school board will be replaced by a board of managers that have yet to be announced. Some worry a takeover could lead to larger class sizes, an exodus of valuable teachers, higher suspension rates for black and Hispanic children, and fewer services for low-income students.
This takeover would be the largest in the nation so far, making it an unprecedented move.
Rowan-Salisbury School System, North Carolina
Deemed a "low performing" district in 2015, the Rowan-Salisbury School System has risen to prominence in the years since as a beacon of innovation among the nation's public schools. The 18,653-student, 35-school district in 2019 committed to overhauling its approach to learning, implementing a 1:1 device program and an innovation mindset centered around a "have no fear" theme.
An AASA case study released in September details the district's transformation, noting the depth of professional development it provided to get educators up to speed on how to incorporate tech into lessons, as well as how the district had a device in the hand of every student and teacher by the fall of 2014.
The path wasn't without hurdles, though, as 65% of the district's students are economically disadvantaged and 13% are English language learners. But by 2016, the state removed the district from its "low performing" list, and today, most of its schools no longer carry that designation individually.
Frisco Independent School District, Texas
A northern suburb of Dallas, Frisco ISD has experienced quite a boom over the last 25 years, expanding from a handful of schools to nearly 70 as its student population ballooned to top 60,000 among local business growth. Even as the district meets expectations from the state, that growth brings its own share of challenges.
Former Superintendent Jeremy Lyon told NBC DFW in 2013 that the district was adding an estimated 3,000 students per year, a number sure to stretch the limits of class sizes and teacher bandwidth in any district. Luckily for Frisco ISD, voters have mostly been onboard with bond measures and tax ratifications to build new schools and hire more faculty.
Whether there's a point where the expansion is too much to handle remains an important question, but Frisco ISD currently serves as a model for how to navigate growing pains when districts experience similar population booms.

Q: Python custom search through logfile not returning results I am using this code to try and pull out lines for log files that include key words. However the files and lines I know that contain these words aren't written into the new error files.
I originally thought my problem was because of a difference in the endline characters between windows and Linux but I have removed lines from these original files so that the Warning is the first word in the file. The lines still were not added to the error file.
I have created my own file filled with random text and 'Warning' in several places and that outputs it correctly. I have used regular expressions and they have no effect on the situation. once I get it working I will convert it to use regular expressions.
Sample file attached :
https://ufile.io/b8gf4
Any help would be great or even point me in the direction of a solution.
def errorSearch(filename):
    errorfile = "error" + filename
    print(errorfile)
    try:
            fileopen = open(filename, "r")
            errorfileopen = open(errorfile, 'w')
            runtest(fileopen, errorfileopen)

            return 1
    except IOError:
            print ("Error: File does not appear to exist.")
            return 0

def runtest(logfile, error):
    num = 0
    for line in logfile:
            if 'Warning' in line:
                    error.write(line)
                    num+=1
    print(num)

errorSearch("log.txt")

example of log file code works for the copy and pasted code but not for original text:

A: Just add strip command to filter out junk characters that might be messing with your if statement.
...
for line in logfile:
        line = line.strip()
        if 'Warning' in line:

Also, please remember to close file handles you missed them.


Akshay Kumar features in the latest television commercial for Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI). Created by Dentsu Marcom, the TVC aims to show how the brand understands and emphatises with the dreams of every Indian.
Kumar provides the voice-over in the film. The commercial shows India waking up to begin the day in a hurry. A man is shown burning his tongue while having tea and rushing for work, while another is shown having his breakfast on his bike at a traffic signal. Other situations where a mother is shown packing off a child with a lunch box and a man waiting impatiently at a railway crossing, because everyone is in a hurry. In between these situations, we see Kumar walking through a traffic jam he is stuck in. He looks at everyone rushed and says that he knows the way between reality and dreams a little too well. The film ends with the message that we need just little bit of wind beneath our wings to take us towards our dreams, faster.
On the brief given to the agency, Titus Upputuru, national creative director, Dentsu Marcom, said, "With HMSI becoming the only Honda in the country, the task at hand was to carry forward Honda's global slogan, 'The Power of Dreams' in the Indian two-wheeler market. The brief was to create synergy with the Indian ethos, and structure communication that understands and empathises with the dreams of every Indian. This would be the foundation stone to building a brand that every Indian can relate to and be the most accepted by the year 2020."
The film has been directed by Amit Sharma of Chrome Pictures and went on air on 11 June.
