Pubs are 'open until told to close'

Open for business: pubs across the country are remaining open while following hygiene measures
Related tags: Coronavirus
Pubs across the country have said they will remain open unless they are ordered to close as the coronavirus outbreak continues.
Their social media announcements follow Boris Johnson's guidance to the public that they should avoid pubs and restaurants.
The Prime Minister has not ordered closure of venues yet, which has caused many pubs to say they will continue to trade at reduced hours or operations.

We are currently open. This decision will be reviewed daily... as it is hourly. Our community is our staff, our customers and the wider population. In my view if the government believes it is not responsible to trade and they have a plan for us to shutdown and a plan for how we come out of the shutdown then it is their job to take that decision and communicate how the people who work here should be paid for taking that hit for the wider community. I'm not an expert in healthcare, statistics or much tbh. My team wish to work and be paid. Every one of them knows if they wish not to come to work they don't have to. I know that not everyone will agree with the decision and frankly I respect that. The situation is obviously fast moving, advice has changed and will continue to. Balancing doing the right thing for everyone is agonising, confusing... and like everyone who is still open we trade at a loss to prolong the period staff have jobs and we can help them stay financially supported by us in the absence of a clear alternative.

Discussion in '5 Series' started by svcole, Nov 7, 2018.
My 2007 E61 Touring 2.0 diesel makes a low level popping or banging after locked. If I touch the tailgate lock or split rear window lock it makes the noise again. Overnight the battery drains so starting is difficult. Three days without driving battery is flat. Had the hinge wires checked there is no problem. Auto mechanic suggested it could be module is on the way out but doesnt know which one. Any ideas?
Hi Steve, You probably have but just to check have you looked under the boot floor in what would be the spare wheel well? The seals can go on the tailgate and let water in - there are quite a few modules in a polystyrene tray there and they can easily be damaged by water.
Yes I did have water ingress in the boot and some even went into the polystyrene tray. I change the module which made the CPU go nuts, it was the air control unit but I don't know which other module controls the central locking or even its also in the boot. I was told its under the rear spoiler.
The diversity amp is the only thing under the rear spoiler. Does the rear hatch and glass lock properly? I seem to remember on my old E61 having to change the locking mechanism on the glass opening section as I had the same thing with battery drain.
Glass and Hatch lock fine. But if I depress either of the release levers on the glass or hatch 5 minutes after locking the car the bumping noise happens again just once. But if I wait 5 to 10 mins the bumping noise happens and I can make it do it again by trying the glass or hatch lever. I think it must be the central locking module, do you know where that is? By the way thank you for replying.
I believe the Body Basic module (KBM) which controls the central locking is located behind the glovebox, each latch will have a it's own actuator. Have you checked the wiring loom for the tailgate as this is a known weak spot.
Thank for that but the wipers works fine and all the doors lock also. Nothing 'pops' open just this irritating 'popping' noise from speaks or wherever and the battery drains overnight.
I think you may have to take it in for a diagnostic check to locate the cause of the problem. It is not a problem that I have heard anyone complain about before, but does sound as if it might be something to do with the rear speakers. As you probably know the wiring loom in the tailgate hinges is notorious for breaking the odd wire, and they do run above the loudspeakers, so it is entirely possible that a wire has broken, and when you lock the car it shorts to a speaker wire, which is what gives the popping noise. Don't ask a main dealer to fix it - they charge a fortune!! Go to a good indy or auto electrician, unless you are handy with a soldering iron!
If in doubt and all else fails - read the instructions!!

Is It Normal To Be Attracted To Old Men?
be attracted to old men?
There are ladies who have never been attracted to people of their age group or younger men,but to people as old as their fathers. Now they are asking: Is It normal to be attracted to old men?
The truth is that being attracted to men as old as ones father has never given anyone joy,including the parent of the girl except the girl herself. You can imagine a man of your age asking the hand of your daughter in marriage ,and when you say no,your daughter flares up and rant that it must be he or no one else. Yes,the question: Is it normal to be attracted to old men?
Well,choices are for people to make. No two people even identical twins have exactly the same choice of men for husbands. And good enough,everyone's choice makes one happy and fulfilled.
If this is the case,why would one who has flair or a young lady who falls in love with a very mature man feel it is not normal? If your heart is well pleased with the choice to marry a very mature man,why would you ask if it is normal to be attracted to old men?
Yes,it is normal! It is normal because,everyone is made with a particular desire,and that desire is to quench the taste and give satisfaction to life!
What is abnormal is when your choice does not give you happiness and peace of mind. Whenever you are in doubt with your choice,when you are not sure of what you are doing,when you are battling with your heart and forcing it to accept certain things,then my dear,you should consider such choice abnormal!
My dear lady,don't be fooled that you are being attracted by a man or that you have found love! It's not as if he's been waiting for you from Adams. He's been married,given his love and best to a woman,his wife already!

Learning experience: let's take consciousness in from the cold
May 15, 2012 11.27pm EDT
Colin Hales, The University of Melbourne
Colin Hales
Researcher in brain electrodynamics at the Centre for Neural Engineering, The University of Melbourne
No conflicts of interest.
University of Melbourne provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU.
Despite being considered a scientific taboo in the past, the study of consciousness is slowly gaining momentum. emmakate deuchars
Until 20 years ago, scientists interested in empirical work on consciousness – our private subjective experiences – hid it by minimising or eliminating the "c-word", the use of which was a career-limiting (or at least fund-limiting) move.
Consciousness defied scientific characterisation until, at the very beginning of the decade of the brain (1990-2000), the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick and others began a dialogue that made an empirical science of consciousness viable. For 20 years, the mainstream science of consciousness could be generically called the ABC-correlates of consciousness, and the most widely published science is the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC).
It sounds very simple: we measure a subject's neuron behaviour while a subject reports an experience. Repeatable patterns emerge. We publish.
Now, following a tsunami of empirical work, journal articles and books, you'd think we'd all be gleefully splashing about in the nascent science of consciousness, shedding light on the natural world like never before.
But we're not.
The overall message is in the negative: there is still no account of consciousness that an engineer might use to construct a conscious machine.
We don't know what the role of consciousness is in humans (or elsewhere). We don't know what causes it. We cannot explain its kinds. We can't prove consciousness is necessary, present and is/is not operating in anything (organism, inanimate object or artefact).
Despite the overall negative result, there are many remarkable findings and reasons for optimism. To convey these, however, requires a little background.
Zeal Harris
Consciousness 101
For technical specificity, the science of consciousness has converged on a small but effective terminology. A few terms, cherry-picked from philosophy, seem to have stuck.
To "do" science-of-consciousness is to pursue an account of what's called phenomenal consciousness.
Phenomenal consciousness refers directly to, and only to, a very specific thing: the privately experienced first-person perspective each of us has. It's a unified composite of the following kinds of experience:
Smell: olfaction
Taste: gustation
Touch: e.g. pressure, temperature …
Situational emotion: e.g. mad, bad, glad, sad …
Primordial emotions: e.g. hunger, thirst, fear, orgasm …
Imagined, dreamt and pathological versions of all of the above.
Each of these experiences has a qualitative feel to it from a first-person perspective. Subjective qualities are referred to as qualia in the plural, or quale in the singular. If the brain is regarded as a subjective content-provider, then the "contents of phenomenal consciousness" are a collection of qualia.
Your visual scene may involve the "redness of red". The red quale is used to construct a redness experience. This introduces the next phrase: that it is always "like something" to have qualia.
In our wakeful state, we can ask "what it is like" to be a bat or a rock or a computer or a bacterium. But if you are in that portion of sleep that is dreamless then "it's not like anything".
Finally, we have the phrase "states of consciousness". These are overall brain states such as coma, slow-wave sleep, REM sleep, vegetative and so forth.
The science of states of consciousness is not the science of phenomenal consciousness, although each informs the other.
If you are in a coma, all phenomenal consciousness is gone, and it is "not like anything". Not being in a coma is necessary, but insufficient, to generate any kind of phenomenal consciousness.
The above basic terms apply to scientist and lay-person alike and, after 20 years of grinding in the machinery of critical argument, could be taught to all in the knowledge that they won't be suddenly overturned.
A single science outcome
The ABC-correlates of consciousness confirm that, contrary to appearances, the physics that causes phenomenal consciousness is contained in and unique to the cranial central nervous system (the brain).
This means phenomenal consciousness is not delivered by the spinal central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system or muscles or the huge nervous system in the gut.
This result does not mean the external natural world or a subject's body is uninvolved in the generation of phenomenal consciousness.
It merely means the physics that makes it "like something" is located within the cranium in humans. In the case of visual consciousness the implication is that you see with your brain, not your eyes.
There are a significant number of simple findings such as this, and they're easy to report when the background basics are understood.
Ay, there's the rub
Some 20 years ago there were no mainstream institutions with specialist training in consciousness issues and science. Now they exist, but are sparsely embedded around the world, usually in cognitive science and psychology courses.
In the non-biophysical sciences and engineering, the science of consciousness is essentially invisible.
h.koppdelaney
This cannot last. Eventually, a form of fundamental physics must connect through the intervening sciences to neuro/cognitive science. Consciousness is expressed by a natural but trans-disciplinary process and, as such, training must be cross-disciplinary.
But beyond this is a much deeper implication.
Consider an explanation of scientific observation (empirical evidence) which we now know literally originates in the phenomenal consciousness of a scientist. Objectivity is revealed as ultimately mediated by the subjectivity of the scientist. To explain phenomenal consciousness is therefore (shock horror) to explain us – scientists and our ability to objectify.
If you chose to become a scientist prior to 1990, did you know that, for no reason ever given, you signed up for explaining everything in the natural world except scientists? Feeling a little uncomfortably sacred, are we?
Thankfully, 20 years on, we now get to apply normal scientific doubt to the centuries of taboo operating at the heart of our own activities.
A new experience
There are fundamental technical problems with the ABC-correlates paradigm and, taken on their own, these are complex enough. But the science of consciousness is also:
fundamentally entwined with the consciousness of scientists
central to the lives of all of us
poised to address the fundamentals of scientific behaviour in a way that has not happened in 300 years.
To rise to this challenge, I believe we are ready for a cross-disciplinary education in a few basics, and look forward to implementing a short tertiary course called Consciousness for Engineers and Scientists.
I like to imagine that one day it may end up being taught in secondary schools. Why not?

The Nationals Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy MP is calling on the Labor Government to immediately release funding to repair and replace infrastructure damaged during the September flood events and to deliver on their promise to undertake a flood study for Coleraine.
"Examples of significant damage to local assets include the Casterton and Coleraine Bowling Clubs and the Chetwynd community toilets and tennis courts.
"I have written directly to the Premier urging the Labor Government to ensure that flood funding is made available to Councils as a matter of urgency to allow vital repair works to be undertaken.
"The biggest challenge for local residents and property owners during the September flood events on the Glenelg River were the limited warning times and changing expectations regarding water level heights.
"The Deputy Premier looked local people in the eye and committed to a Coleraine flood study. The Andrew's Labor Government have failed to take any action to enable the study to proceed.
"The Premier, the Minister for Emergency Services and the Minister for Water have been disturbingly silent and I will continue to lobby the Andrew's Labor Government for urgent flood and infrastructure funding to be released in our region.
"Local people are desperate to return their lives and communities back to normal and Labor must provide the support our local people need," she said.

Jill Peeters is leaving after 20 years weerpraatje: I know it's a while not. And I'm glad about that
The TV came this week when a bolt from the blue: Jill Smith (44) and to stop its weerpraatje on tv. As the longest-reigning woman of the commercial station for twenty years, please go to other places to look. What it does not know yet. Seems like probably something with the environment. But nothing is for sure. "Maybe I will be a beekeeper. Or, I go for the pastries to bake. Anything is possible."
on Thursday, Heist-op-den-Berg. In the bookstore, 'The Preface,' is to browse to Pick the new, Ish Ait Hamou. In fact, we agreed on a tea, the one next door. But she has a soft spot for books as well. "Now I have put every time," she says. "Take a look at the books. Isn't that great? Here you go by: I can't do it."
this is the day in which they will announce that they will stop. A couple of hours to tell the world that Jill is at the end of december, on tv in her last weerpraatje to do. There will be a lot of people are scared, " she said. So, first of all her colleagues. "It would be weird to have it after all these weeks, out loud, to say it," said Jill. Today, they are already in practice. Here-and-now, in addition to the bookstore, then, to have a cup of coffee.
When you have made that decision?
"I'm at the beginning of this year, out of the blue, the United Nations asked to be included in the weerdepartement Head of Communication & Outreach-to-be. Make sure that function will be performed by Michael Williams. Michael and I had been a good touch. I knew that retirement was coming and we spoke to each other again, over who his successor could be. One day, at the headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva, said Michael, " You're really not, isn't it? I would like to be in it. I want to jóu perspective.'"
"I got that first weggelachen. "You, onnozelaar.' But when we got back home, I started thinking about it. How cool would it be, or so I thought. Weather, climate, and communication, combined at the highest level. In The Geneva Convention. Really cool city. That got me to thinking. I wanted to have my dream job as a woman of god. I did end up participating in the process. First round, second round, final round. I have had good references, and a cv good enough to eat. But, in the last stage, and I pulled back. I'm not in excellent shape. I've got a rugverleden. Thirteen of the bolts sticking in them. I am now living without any pain, but that's because I take care of myself. When the UN went in, the workload is very high and I did. I went to that balance, however, able to keep up? If you're in the Belgian league, just you, and you're not in top shape, how are you going to be the Champions League to play in?"
"I said, "no", but it could have been a bit set in motion in my head. After that, I continue to think of it. I started to feel that there are a lot of things that I really want to do it. And it surpassed want to do right now. Just in the rat race of day to day weerpraatjes I just can't do that. Hence, the decision was made."

New Tokyo Story
Symposium on Housing, Living, and Mobility in a Post-Growth Megacity
A symbiosis of large-scale transformation and small-scale intervention is becoming the new feature of global capitals in developed countries.
Living cities are constantly transforming. While historically the cause and dynamic of this transformation varies per city, globalization has gradually changed site-specific factors into more common, comparable elements. Every major city in every country is involved in an international competition to attract investment, international companies and young, high-quality human resources, while most mature developed societies face an ageing population and rapid urbanization. This global dynamic has become undeniable and is a substantial cause for the physical and social transformation of cities. We are not here to criticize this dynamic. Our concern is to make the best of the situation.
A symbiosis of large-scale transformation and small-scale intervention is becoming the new feature of global capitals in developed countries. With its extreme concentration of population and economic and political activity and its extreme level of ageing, Tokyo forms a fascinating urban laboratory with which to investigate and understand the current trend. In this symposium, we have invited Tokyo-based specialists – academics and practitioners – to give a comprehensive explanation of these symptoms of Tokyo's transformation and of the ways in which the government, companies and citizens manage its urban future. Amsterdam, a small global city with 2.5 million inhabitants, can learn by examining Tokyo, the world's biggest city with 38 million inhabitants, and can draw inspiration for new ways of dealing with practical, local knowledge through holistic intervention in a high-dynamic urban fabric under the pressure of globalization.

267.) Jean Seberg tribute. On the occasion of what would have been her 60th birthday, scenes from rare European co-productions she starred in-including the nightmarishly over-the-top "Kill"directed by her husband, novelist Romain Gary. Bad psychedelia, would-be New Wave editing, and godawful scripting (plus idiotic gunplay) make this one of poor Jean's worst, but well worth watching (in an abbreviated form).

274.) "Women of the World"-show with musical numbers featuring female performers from different countries. Sally Yeh (in concert, Hong Kong), Brigitte Bardot ('60s publicity film), Isabelle Adjani ('80s TV special), Thalia (Mexican pop star, music video), Helen (Indian movie star, dance numbers from various movies-including one in which her dance awakens a macho statue), and Mitsou (French-Canadian, music video)

286.) Video Round-Up: overview of Shocking Video product-"extreme" Japanese wrestling (male and female); Georges Franju's "Judex; compilation "Mondo Jerry"; copyright-violation madness in Turkey-Turkish "Superman" remake (with Ed Wood-like budget and resourcefulness) and "3 Dev Adam"-the unholy union of Captain America and Santo to fight a green Spiderman
287.) Easter blasphemy again-French mag.with naked waif-chick as Christ; Xtian toys; Carman vids.

295.) (rerun)"Goodbye, Uncle Tom"
296.) In answer to "The Phantom Menace," the Media Funhouse presents scenes from the film dubbed "The Turkish 'Star Wars,'" a no-budget concoction that makes Ed Wood's oeuvre resemble that of James Cameron. The filmmakers decided that, lacking the funds to recreate Industrial Light and Magic's computer wizardry, they would simply have their actors *stand in front* of a screen showing scenes from Lucas's initial film! The rest is a mishmash of bad kung-fu fight scenes, folks dressed in strange anthropomorphic garb, and odd robot characters intended to ape R2D2 and C3PO. Unforgettable stuff–and if that ain't enough, there's another scene from the Turkish opus that features Capt. America and Santo fighting a green-costumed Spiderman.
297.) Deceased Artistes. Roddy MacDowall (represented by footage of the beloved cult pic "Lord Love a Duck" and his own "Tam Lin (The Devil's Widow)," Huntz Hall, etc.

305.) Deceased Artistes. 3 kiddie show hosts (Buffalo Bob Smith, Shari Lewis, Bob McAllister), more Silverstein ("The Ballad of Lucy Jordan"), and Cocteau cohort, actor Jean Marais.
306.) Tribute to photographer William Klein, with scenes from his "Who are you, Polly Maggoo?" (1966 mock-verite fictional study of a supermodel) and "Mister Freedom" (1969 political satire about an American superhero on the loose in France). Also: scenes from the oddball Indian remake of the American sleeper "Fright Night."
307.) Tribute to Clara Bow/consumer guide review of Bow films on home video. Included: scenes from rarely scene Bow features and the restored Kino releases.
308.) Interview with Sir Peter Ustinov, on the occasion of the opening of the British comedy "Stiff Upper Lips." Part One.
309.) Interview with Sir Peter Ustinov, Part Two. Included: Ustinov's experiences working with filmmakers Max Ophuls and Stanley Kubrick.
310.) 6th Annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day tribute show. Cohost Stephen Kroninger and I explore Lewis collectibles, read from the inspirational Jer tome "How to Be a Person," and show scenes from his late '50s TV adaptation of "The Jazz Singer."

312.)Ed's tour of the Internet using a handy (but otherwise worthless) WebTV, we journey through some of your humble host's fave media-related websites, and some of the weirder ones: the enclaves of the "furries" (folks who dress up in animal costumes for friendly weekend fun); the slapstick freaks (those who get off on pie fights and other Stooge-like activities); and the "plushies" (those who have close, intimate relationships with their cuddly dolls). Quite unusual stuff, even for this show (hey, folks, I don't advocate it, I only show it….)

Amazon Reviewers Are Obsessed With This Foldable Straw Hat — & It's $14 For Black Friday Only
Amazon / Bustle
By Jen Fiegel

You already turn to Amazon for great deals on books, household supplies, and all the weird stuff you didn't know you needed (but now can't live without). But yes, the Everything Store, also sells clothing and accessories. And if you know where to look, there are plenty of stylish bargains to be scored — like this $16 foldable hat Amazon reviewers are obsessed with.
Lanzom Straw Panama Hat Fedora, $14, Amazon
If you're like me and have tossed out your fair share of hats because you stashed them in a tote bag only to find them an hour later permanently dented and bent, then you know how major the news of a super-foldable hat is. Not only does this design stand up to bending and folding, it was designed to be folded in half and flattened over and over again for maximum portability and space-saving abilities.
"I took it out of my backpack after being folded up for about 5 days or more. It quickly started flattening out.... It shaped back perfectly," raves one reviewer. Made of a sturdy natural paper straw material, it also holds up well to water. "Throughout the trip I got it wet several times and folded and unfolded it with no issues. It was great for the beach, excursions, and market trips."

So it's no wonder this best-selling hat has a 4.6-star rating after more than 11,000 reviews with fans raving that it's "super cute" and "everything." "I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I have received on this hat during the summer," another reviewer says. One person even posted a side-by-side comparison of this and a much more expensive model, while giving this a five-star rating. Many more Amazon customers felt so confident when they wore this hat that they submitted images of themselves showing it off for the world to see.
With a clever string inside that lets you adjust the fit to best suit your head size and the style you're going to wear it, it works for just about everyone and for a variety of scenarios. "I just got back from Belize and this hat was amazing. I love how adjustable it is. I was able to comfortably wear it while riding a golf cart, all day at the beach, and even out on a kayak without it blowing off or being too tight," says an ecstatic customer.
Because of the dense weave, this hat also provides a healthy dose of shade and sun protection, making it a favorite of travelers and beachgoers. "As soon as I arrived at my destination, I noticed how many people of all ages had similar hats and how many were for sale locally at much higher prices. I did not get burnt and despite the record breaking temperatures the hat never felt like it was causing me to sweat more," one fan writes.
Add to that the timeless design that works with casual flip flops and jeans just as well as it does with dresses or swimsuits and you've got a wardrobe work horse that will really earn its place in your closet and suitcase.
Depending on your style, you can zero in on the perfect version for you out of the two dozen-plus there are to choose from including studded and belt-style ribbons, all coming with a just-right brim of 2.9-inches wide. The body also comes in an impressive range of neutrals — from white to a light khaki to black — and even a rich ocean blue. And if you need it fast, it's eligible for free Prime two-day shipping.

How do you know that the recorded history inside a book is actually what happened? Yearning with ambition, Drew Faulkner longs to change his dreary, pointless life in Edinburgh. He is surprisingly presented with an once-in- a-lifetime opportunity to grasp that desire through time travel. Yes... time travel. He is selected, screened and trained to survive in another century. What gets him to 1867 China is love-attempting to win the love of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, Lucy Oxford. What keeps him there is the realization that he can make a positive contribution in the lives of others-even those not yet born. Along his journey, Drew faces many dangers including explosions, knife fights, sharks, snakes and pirates-as well as a gambit of characters that can either help or hinder. Time travel is not for the faint-hearted.

Plant Based Foods Inc. is a new food distribution company that specializes in unique, healthy and exceptional tasting food. One such product is Cavi-art, a vegan, seaweed-based delicacy that looks and tastes like caviar. Cavi-art's fine consistency and delicious flavor have already made this product a hit in Europe. While not all their flavors are vegan, the Cavi-art line currently consists of five vegan flavors - Black, Orange Red, Yellow, Wasabi, Salmon, Truffle and Ginger. They have few more vegan flavors in the works!
Cavi-art is also environmentally friendly and highly sustainable, with less than 5 percent of the seaweed growth being harvested. And unlike traditional caviar, Cavi-art is available year-round at an attractive price point.

Q: In Python why is my "for entry in csv_compare:" loop iterating only once and getting stuck on the last input I'm trying to compare 2 csv files and then put the common entries in a 3rd csv to write to file. For some reason it iterates the whole loop for row in csv_input but the entry in csv_compare loop iterates only once and stops on the last entry. I want to compare every row entry with every entry entry.
import csv
finalCSV = {}
with open('input.csv', newline='') as csvfile, open('compare.csv', newline='') as keyCSVFile, open('output.csv', 'w' ,newline='') as OutputCSV:
    csv_input = csv.reader(csvfile)
    csv_compare = csv.reader(keyCSVFile)
    csv_output = csv.writer(OutputCSV)
    csv_output.writerow(next(csv_input))

    for row in csv_input:
        for entry in csv_compare:
            print(row[0] + ' ' + entry[0])
            if row[0] == entry[0]:
                csv_output.writerow(row)
                break

print('wait...')

A: When you break the inner loop and start the next iteration of the outer loop, csv_compare doesn't reset to the beginning. It picks up where you left off. Once you have exhausted the iterator, that's it.
You would need to reset the iterator at the top of each iteration of the outer loop, which is most easily done by simply opening the file there.
with open('input.csv', newline='') as csvfile, open('output.csv', 'w' ,newline='') as OutputCSV:
    csv_input = csv.reader(csvfile)
    csv_output = csv.writer(OutputCSV)
    csv_output.writerow(next(csv_input))

    for row in csv_input:
        with  open('compare.csv', newline='') as keyCSVFile:
            csv_compare = csv.reader(keyCSVFile)
            for entry in csv_compare:
                if row[0] == entry[0]:
                    csv_output.writerow(row)
                    break

A: I suggest to read the first column from csv_compare to list or a set and then use only single for-loop:
import csv

finalCSV = {}
with open("input.csv", newline="") as csvfile, open(
    "compare.csv", newline=""
) as keyCSVFile, open("output.csv", "w", newline="") as OutputCSV:
    csv_input = csv.reader(csvfile)
    csv_compare = csv.reader(keyCSVFile)
    csv_output = csv.writer(OutputCSV)
    csv_output.writerow(next(csv_input))

    compare = {entry[0] for entry in csv_compare}   # <--- read csv_compare to a set

    for row in csv_input:
        if row[0] in compare:     # <--- use `in` operator
            csv_output.writerow(row)

A: You could skip the inner loop completely. You add rows from input.csv when the first column matches any of the first column values in compare.csv. So put those values in a set for easy lookup.
import csv

with open('compare.csv', newline='') as keyCSVFile:
    key_set = {row[0] for row in csv.reader(keyCSVFile)}

with open('input.csv', newline='') as csvfile, open('output.csv', 'w' ,newline='') as OutputCSV:
    csv_input = csv.reader(csvfile)
    csv_output = csv.writer(OutputCSV)
    csv_output.writerow(next(csv_input))
    csv_output.writerows(row for row in csv_input if row[0] in key_set)

del key_set
print('wait...')

Indonesian government efforts, particularly in the city of Depok, regarding decent and healthy environmental management in the waste sector have to be enhanced. This is a complex and diverse problems, even though the government has set into the form of Law (UU) Number 18 Year 2008 on Waste Management to build a strategic partnership of stakeholders in waste management. The Government has also issued Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 81 Year 2012 on "Management of household waste and household-like waste". Further research is required on what extent that the implementation of waste management had been undertaken, as well as the necessity to study the methods of environmental insight in waste management. Waste management needs to be comprehensive and integrated from upstream to downstream, thus providing economic benefits, people healthiness and environmental safety. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of environmental management based in Depok. This study uses qualitative design, which is to observe, understand and expose reality or empirical phenomena; hence the proper method used is descriptive method. Instrument to gather the data is completed by observation and in-depth interviews. The type of data required includes primary and secondary data. The informant is selected by purposive sampling, and data analysis is treated with triangulation technique. The results present that in the framework of the effectiveness of environmental management based trash in Depok showed that 1) Institutional Factor for Urban Waste Management of Depok has run properly, 2) Private partnership (commercial solution) to be involved in urban waste management in Depok is being explored, 3) Applicable technology in fostering a culture of 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) on the entire community of Depok, has been done with the declaration of Depok Trash Care towards Trash Clean 2020 in March 2014.

Q: How do I get access to current edited entity data like id and guid in modal window of 2sxc DNN module? I'm writing my custom property type for module 2sxc. I mean I'd added a js file inside my app at path "/system/field-string-my-custom-field/index.js" and I'm writing my code there.
And I need to get id (or guid) and entity type of a current edited/created entity in modal window. I didn't find neither id, nor guid of that entity. The only place I've noticed in the html inside iframe that could tell type of entity is title on top of modal window, but that's also not good to take it from there, since it's actually a label, not the name of the entity, which might be different from the actual entity name. When I checked the code that is executed on submit button click - it has object formBuilderRef, which contains all the listed data I need (current entity's id, guid, type). But I didn't succeed in accessing it from my code for now.
Additional info:
I'm creating a custom property like this one. So on editing entity with my custom property type there's this modal window. Modal image is from internet but it should be enough to get an idea.
iframe's src property contains EntityId, but it looks like a bad place to take id from, since it contains an id of the entity used to open modal window of 2sxc module, but I could go to app settings and start editing totally different entity that is not on a current page at all. So I need an id of that currently edited entity and correct type, not a label.
So how do I get the data I need from there?

A: You can get them on
context.target.entity.id and context.target.entity.guid
see also: https://docs.2sxc.org/js-code/edit-form/formulas/context.html
while developing formulas, it's best to also watch the console, because on test-runs it will output all relevant objects data and context to the console.

Cy Williamson
Cy Williamson, a former executive TWHBEA board member, passed away June 12, 2002. Williamson, a native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was involved in the walking horse business for over forty years. Some of the notable horses owned by Williamson are Spirit's Midnight Rider, Spirit's Wicked Woman, Keen's Jezebel, and countless others.
A veteran of World War II, Williamson served in the European theater where he received the Purple Heart. Williamson also served as chairman of First City Bank which is now known as BBT Bank.
Williamson is survived by his wife Annie, daughters Marion Cole and Ann Williamson, and grandson Matthew Manning Cole.
Pete Manning
D.B. "Pete" Manning, long time supporter of the Tennessee Walking horse, passed away April 28, 2002, at the age of 91. Pete resided at High Street, Richmond, Kentucky, and attended 56 consecutive Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebrations. He is survived by his wife, Pearl Mae, and three daughters, Libby, Cindy and Carolyn, and three grandsons Matt, Brian, and Doug Combs.
Pete was a strong supporter of the Tennessee Walking Horse both in Tennessee and his home and in his home state of Kentucky. He fondly reminisced of his years of attendance of The Celebration where he stayed at the Dixie Hotel on the square in Shelbyville, and the many meals and long-term friendships he enjoyed at Pope's Restaurant. He was always very proud of the fact that he placed Sammy Day on his first pony, purchased by Sammy's dad, Jim, when Sammy was a little boy. He often told the story of Sammy hitting the horse with a rock when his Dad, Jim was working the horse in a cart, causing the horse to run off and give Jim a good spill.
Pete was a manager and retiree of the South Central Bell office in Richmond, Kentucky. He was a World War II veteran, having been shot down in the English Channel while serving as a pilot of a P-38 during the war. Pete will be greatly missed by the Kentucky Walking Horse Association, where an annual memorial trophy has been established in his memory by Margaret Coy and Dan and Patti Reynolds, of Richmond, Kentucky.

Difference between revisions of "Mulberry Harbour"
(→Sources of Information)
Hughes was given the task of proving one of the competing designs by constructing prototypes at Conway Morfa in North Wales, which was turned into a huge construction site housing over 1000 labourers. Oleg Kerensky, son of a former Russian Prime Minister, supervised the construction process. Hughes constructed three "Hippo" caissons, which were towed from the Morfa to the test site at Rigg Bay, on the Solway Firth. When the site was in full production, the caissons were launched into the River Conwy estuary for their journey south<ref>Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conwy_Morfa#cite_note-2]</ref>
The colossal task of planning and constructing the harbour was carried out between June 1943 and June 1944. [[C. S. Meik and Halcrow|Halcrow]] were joint consulting engineers for the work.

Colonel [[Vassal Frederick Charles Steer Webster|Vassal Steer Webster]] was in charge of the project for the War Office.
Construction and experiment had to proceed concurrently because of limited time. Two prefabricated ports would be built, one for the British sector and one for the American, each consisting of a breakwater formed from concrete caissons (codename Phoenix). In order to take the enormous shipping traffic necessary to sustain Operation Overlord and the Battle of Normandy each harbour had to be the same size as Dover. This entailed the construction of 150 ''Phoenix'' anchorage units, as well as many ''Whale'' floating roadway units.
Mulberry was the codename given to the artificial, temporary harbours developed to supply the Allies after the D-Day invasion of France during WWII.
The Mulberry Harbour breakwaters were constructed in sections in Britain and floated out for assembly off the French coast. For the first time in history an invading army took its own harbour to the enemy-held shore. Two prefabricated ports were built, one for the British sector and one for the American.
A number of people had ideas about floating harbours. In 1917, Winston Churchill drafted detailed plans for the capture of two islands, Borkum and Sylt, off the Dutch and Danish coasts, using flat-bottomed barges, or caissons. This proposal was never put into practice.
In 1941, Hugh Iorys Hughes, a Civil engineer, had similar ideas but could only attract the attention of the War Office through his brother, a Commander in the Royal Navy. Other accounts credit Professor J. D. Bernal with similar ideas, expanded upon by Brigadier Bruce White, who later helped draw up plans for the final design of Mulberry. He was greatly assisted by Allan Beckett whose "whale" design for the roadway was selected in preference to Hamilton's "Swiss Roll" and Hughes' concrete "Hippo".

The prefabricated ports were completed on time and towed by a fleet of 85 tugs across the Channel. The caissons, weighing 7000 tons, were sunk accurately and the ports laid out. Fifteen obsolete ships had already been sunk to form a preliminary harbour arm. On D-Day+13 a gale destroyed the American harbour but the British harbour, although damaged, continued to allow men and equipment ashore until the capture of Cherbourg took the strain off the artificial port.
The remains of the harbour in the British sector are still visible today on the beaches of Arromanches.

Tabula in naufragio is a legal Latin phrase, literally interpreted as "a plank in a shipwreck". It is used metaphorically, particularly in law, to convey: "when all else has failed, it is the thing that stops (or is intended to stop) you from drowning." It is most commonly used to designate the power subsisting in a third (or subsequent) mortgagee, who took the third mortgage without notice of the second mortgage, and then acquired the first mortgage and attached it to the third mortgage, thereby obtaining priority over the second mortgagee.  Without the legal ability to attach ("tack") to the first mortgage, the third mortgage would be worthless.

The phrase was first attributed to Sir Matthew Hale, although he died more than 200 years before the advent of the modern English doctrine of tacking arising from Hopkinson v Rolt. According to Black's Law Dictionary: "It may be fairly said that the doctrine survives only in the unjust and much criticised English rule of tacking."

The phrase is also used, often dismissively or wryly, to describe a proposition in legal submissions which the proponent hopes can (just about) stay afloat even though the rest of that party's case has been holed below the waterline.  An example of this latter usage appears in the minority judgement of Lord Buckmaster in Donoghue v Stevenson, a case that established the modern concept of negligence in 1932.  He wrote, "this passage has been used as a tabula in naufragio for many litigants struggling in the seas of adverse authority." Similarly, Lord Diplock used the phrase in Berger & Co Inc v Gill & Duffus SA:

Starbucks plans to build 10,000 "greener stores" around the globe by 2025.
The plan encompasses both new stores and renovations.
The company expects it will save some $50 million in utility costs over the next decade as a result of the plan.
Starbucks announced Thursday that it is deepening its commitment to sustainability with a plan to build 10,000 "greener stores" around the globe by 2025, a move that will encompass new stores and renovations.
The plan follows the coffee giant's pledge to eliminate single-use plastic straws from its stores around the globe by 2020.
Starbucks plans to audit its company-owned stores in the U.S. and Canada. Since 2001, it has been working with the U.S. Green Building Council to help develop the LEED for Retail program, opening up its first LEED, or green-certified store, more than a decade ago. Today there are more than 1,500 LEED-certified Starbucks stores globally.
"Woven into the fabric of Starbucks is the view that the pursuit of profits is not in conflict with the pursuit of doing good," CEO Kevin Johnson said in a call with CNBC. "We have been on a sustainability journey for many years, it starts with the way we grow our coffee to the work we do with LEED-certified stores, to the work we do around greener cups and plastic straws. Today's announcement extends that to go beyond a LEED-certified store and will focus on operating those stores in a more sustainable way."
The move will save Starbucks some $50 million in utility costs over the next decade, building on its current 10-year legacy of utility cost savings generated from its green practices already in place. Those steps save it some $30 million annually in operating costs, the company said.
Starbucks' plans are being developed in concert with experts from the World Wildlife Fund, and will be audited and verified by SCS Global Services, which oversees Starbucks' Coffee and Farmer Equity Practices. The materials will also be shared so other retailers can follow suit, Starbucks said.
"This framework represents the next step in how Starbucks is approaching environmental stewardship, looking holistically at stores and their role in helping to ensure the future health of our natural resources," said Erin Simon, director of R&D at World Wildlife Fund, U.S., in a release. "When companies step up and demonstrate leadership, other businesses often follow with commitments of their own, driving further positive impacts."
Starbucks has long been committed to sustainability with initiatives including 99 percent ethically sourced coffee, its pledge to develop and help bring to market a fully recyclable and compostable hot cup, and offering discounts to customers who bring in reusable cups or tumblers at its company-owned stores globally, among others.


You can see the ARE big–well over an inch in diameter. Somebody in the 1960s thought they would look good strung on a rootbeer-colored bead curtain.
Fear turns me into a procrastinator. Some people are afraid of tornadoes or spiders. Me? I'm afraid of ruining perfectly good things like new blank sketchbooks or pristine rainbows of pastels. The sketchbooks stay blank. The pastels never get out of the box.
Most of the time I can't bring myself to cut up perfectly good vintage fabric. I'm always afraid whatever I create will be less than worthy than the original materials.

Hydrofluorocarbon measurements in the Chlorofluorocarbon Alternatives Measurement Project
What are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) ?
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and fluorine. Certain chemicals within this class of compounds are viewed by industry and the scientific community as acceptable alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons on a long-term basis. Because the HFCs contain no chlorine they do not directly affect stratospheric ozone. Furthermore, mechanisms for ozone destruction involving fragments produced as HFCs are decomposed within the atmosphere (CF3 radicals) have been shown to be insignificant.
Like HCFCs, the HFCs contain hydrogen that is susceptible to attack by the hydroxyl radical. Oxidation of HFCs by the hydroxyl radical is believed to be the major destruction pathway for HFCs in the atmosphere. Atmospheric lifetimes of the most commonly used HFCs (HFC-134a and HFC-152a) are limited to <12 yrs because of this reaction.
Although it is believed HFCs will not deplete ozone within the stratosphere, this class of compounds has other adverse environmental effects (see the Chlorofluorocarbon Alternatives Measurement Project info)-for example, these gases are efficient absorbers of infrared radiation. Concern over these effects may make it necessary to regulate production and use of these compounds at some point in the future. Such restrictions have been proposed in the Kyoto Protocol.
Figure 1. Observed Atmospheric Changes for Substitute Halocarbons from the NOAA/ESRL/GMD Flask Sampling Network.
How have atmospheric concentrations of HFCs changed over time?
Regular, careful measurements of air from remote locations show that global concentrations of HFCs have increased rapidly over time (Figure 1). This increase can be attributed to enhanced use of HFCs as substitutes for CFCs, HCFCs, and other chemicals as solvent/cleaning agents, refrigerants, foam-blowing agents, air conditioning fluids, etc., beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Measurements of air stored in containers that were originally filled as early as 1977 and measurements of even older air trapped in snow above Antarctica or Greenland have allowed scientists at NOAA, CSIRO (Australia), and the University of East Anglia (UK) to reconstruct how concentrations of these gases have changed in the atmosphere over the past 100 years. The picture that emerges is one in which HFCs did not exist in the atmosphere until they were manufactured by industry. Once their use was encouraged to aid in accelerating the phase out of CFCs and HCFCs, HFC concentrations increased rapidly from zero to the amounts observed today.

Absolutely! That was one of the things she was really praised for!
It would be slightly awkward if she had not learnt the language.
I'm new at this, Have a question: How did Queen Ingrid helped Queen Silvia?
I read in a magazine that the Queen Ingrid helped Queen Silvia.
Probably referring to the advise of Queen Ingrid to Queen Silvia when she married King Carl Gustaf.
I have confusion in my mind, and tries arrange, because I do not believe in Croatian journals when it comes to royals.
Granted that I don't know the answer to your question, I can guess that it's rather likely that someone had helped the German commoner hostess Silvia Sommerlath to fit in with the Swedish Royal Court and her role as Queen of Sweden; and it is possible that aunt Ingrid (born Princess of Sweden and herself a Queen) helped her by becoming her mentor.
I'd say that was a well educated guess MAfan.
Your guess is correct, MAfan. I've read in a couple places that Queen Ingrid was always very willing to give Silvia advice and other assistance when she first became Queen, since there were no high-ranking Swedish female royals to serve as a role model.
Of course, Carl Gustaf had four older sisters, who were all born princesses. But three of them had lost their royal status through "marrying down", so maybe they didn't count?
I think that Queen Ingrid always looked much older than her birthdate proofs.
On Facebook there is a photo of Phillipos´ baptism and though she was "only" 76 at that time she looks IMO at least ten years older. Same with the time of Anne-Marie´s wedding: It´s almost unbelieveable that such an "old looking" woman had a daughter with the age of 18. Don´t know but might it come from her having been a heavy smoker?
Don't forget than Queen Ingrid belonged to the generations of women for whom it was not an ideal to look young at 50! They we're not ashamed of their age, and did not try to turn back the clock as is offen the case today.
Yet Queen Ingrid was said to be conscious of her appearance; she was rather thin and was said never to each much. She also preferred vegetarian food if she had a choice, she never ate much meat.
Her hair do remained the same througout her life, it was not unlike that of Queen Elizabeth II and IMO it's rather hard on the face. That's how they prefer it; a "cast-iron" hair-do is also worn by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
I think Ingrid was an old soul. Losing her mother at such a young age greatly affected her...the only girl among brothers? Becoming a stand in mother....And then having to adjust to a stepmother...I am sure she felt some sadness.
And I have been trying to find a good English bio on the Queen...any suggestions?
I think Ingrid was an old soul. Losing her mother at such a young age greatly affected her...the only girl among brothers? Becoming a stand in mother....And then having to adjust to a stepmother...I am sure she felt some sadness.?
Her mother's death affected her greatly and she carried a torch for her through the rest of her life. As far as I know she never adjusted to her stepmother when young. Things alledgedly eased a bit after Ingrid moved to Denmark.
Zonk, I don't think that there is an English bio on Queen Ingrid; the interest simply isn't big enough in the Anglosaxon sphere.
I found this on QI, a summary written by a Norwegian historian. He seems to have captured the the life and personality of Queen Ingrid.
There is a book out on Queen Ingrid and it's written in Danish and English. One of the authors is Ted Rosvall and the reviews by people who have gotten have stated it's very good. It probably is available on Amazon or Ted Rosvall has his own website if you Google it and order directly. It is also available through Majesty Magazine's bookstore.
Queen Ingrid was a marvelous person IMO. She was a good loving mother to her three daughters and a very dedicated grandmother . Also a person who always gave the impression she CARED for her family and others, this in a generation where royal women were more distant from their loved ones than it is today. She was always one of my favourite royals and |I think she was genuinely happy in her marriage and life.
She was a good loving mother to her three daughters and a very dedicated grandmother . Also a person who always gave the impression she CARED for her family and others, this in a generation where royal women were more distant from their loved ones than it is today.
Agreed - I always felt like she loved her 3 girls very much and cared about spending time with them both as children and as adults, which wasn't necessarily the norm for her generation. I think losing her mother at a young age was what made her value her family so much.
Those are some very beautiful pictures; well worth looking at and a beautiful gesture commemorating Queen Ingrid's life! There were a few favorites, and even a few that I hadn't seen before! Thanks a lot for posting this link, UserDane!
I cannot help but wonder, I know Scandinavian languages are close, but did Queen Ingrid ever learn to speak Danish like a native speaker of Danish?
Yes. As a child, I had no idea that she was oiginally from Sweden.
Isn't it through Queen Ingrid,that makes Queen Margarethe II and King Carl XVI gustaf first cousins? Do how does it go? His father was the brother of her mother?

The common thread in my work is partnering with individuals, teams and organisations who are committed to, making changes that will improve their performance. This might be to deliver a challenging goal, a change or to address a problem. I work in 4 main areas which often overlap: coaching individuals and teams; facilitation and training; change management; and the development of performance models and toolkits. I am commonly engaged to work with clients during periods of organisational change; when role transitions (promotion/sector changes/moves) happen; when there is a dip in performance; when specific leadership skills need developing. I use a strengths and values-based approach to create a sustainable change.
