About WSF
Founded in 1977 and then known as the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep (FNAWS), the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) is THE conservation organization dedicated to restoring wild sheep populations that dwindled to historical lows in North America in the 1950s and '60s. With private funding from its members and proceeds from an annual convention known as "The Sheep Show®," the Wild Sheep Foundation and its Chapters and Affiliates actively fund initiatives throughout North America and beyond to accomplish its purpose and mission. WSF's overarching strategic goal is to ensure that wild sheep populations and their habitats worldwide are effectively managed, accessible, utilized and supported by interested stakeholders.
In over 40 years, the Wild Sheep Foundation has raised and directed more than $115 million "To Put and Keep Wild Sheep on the Mountain®" – with more than $49 million raised and directed to agencies from special permits and tags alone. This funding has been used to support wild sheep transplants, telemetry studies, research, habitat enhancements (e.g., prescribed burning, water development, noxious weed control), predator management, education and a host of related programs. Trap and transplants conducted west-wide initially brought bighorn sheep from Alberta and British Columbia to western states resulting in a modern day wildlife success story. Since 1922, more than 21,600 wild sheep have been transplanted in over 1,460 discrete operations, in 15 states and two provinces. Rocky Mountain, California and desert sheep numbering ~25,000 in the 1950s have been expanded three-fold to more than 85,000 today.
This conservation success is a credit to the more than 10,000 WSF, Chapter and Affiliate members worldwide and their contributions of thousands of man-hours of labor, dedication and dollars to bring back wild sheep from the brink…but there is still much work to be done.

Make Everyday an Environment Day
By Naturenomics Team on June 07, 2017
Balipara Foundation The Food for the Future Award, 2016 Recipient - Robin Naiding
"We have always liked to believe that every day is an environment day'"
"We need to re–invent sustainable agriculture, so that it can meet the needs of millions, but does not cost us the Earth"– Sunita Narain
On this World Environment Day, let's understand how we are not building green space and continue to waste our natural resources. Why everyday should be a world environment day and not a single day dedicated to solutions and actions. Why we need to be conscious of our actions, of how we think, eat and save without depleting our "nature capital". The global rate of species extinction is escalating and is now estimated to be up to 1000 times the natural rate. Biodiversity has continued to decline globally. The risks of environmental degradation, our unsustainable actions and lack of strong policies and reforms put life on Earth at risk. Our air is toxic, water is contaminated, forests are barren, urbanization is unplanned, species are endangered and the ecosystem is unbalanced.
India's forests now cover only 21.34% of the country
Every Second a football field of rainforest is destroyed for animal agriculture
Experts estimate that we are losing 137 plant, animal, and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation
About 95% of the water entering our homes goes down the drain
More than 25% of the active ingredients in our medicines come from rainforest deforestation
While we hope and stand to create a green environment, we belong to a land where tree crops are crashed every single day, where elephants are killed for their ivory and where the impact of ecosystem destruction leads to increased flooding due to the erosion of soil and lack of trees. Add to that, the current model of development is based on the wasteful use of resources. It uses huge resources and generates enormous waste. Its emissions have put the entire world's climatic system at risk and made millions living on the margins of survival even more vulnerable and poor. While farmers are the backbone of the nation, technological advancement in agriculture fails to pass down to the small farmers and subsidization is costing us the Earth.
Food wastage in India costs Rupees 1 Lakh Crore Every Year
25 per cent of fresh water, used to produce food, is ultimately wasted, even as millions of people still don't have access to drinking water
Nearly 300 million barrels of oil used to produce food is also ultimately wasted
"Poor farmers of the world have to compete in the distorted food market and have no option then to be able to use overuse the natural resources"- Sunita Narain
Meet Mr. Robin Naiding who is the first settler in Bagadima Village, Dima Hasao. Realizing the importance of Natural Resource Management, he encouraged and sensitized the whole village community of Bagadima (comprising of 42 households) to create less pressure on the forest cover and make the best use of land and its resources in a sustainable manner (participatory land use planning).
Robin Naiding planted various native tree saplings within the village and he helped distribute around 500 saplings to other villagers and nearby areas. However, Robin Naiding shares how we are not building a green space. He says, "Shifting cultivation, collection of forest produce and hunting are the main source of livelihood leading to unsustainable forest management practices and these only provide short-term benefit and resulting to the disappearance of forest resources and low productivity of jhum produces."
Extensive forest cover was destroyed for the purpose of shifting cultivation and there had been no management of jhum and fallow land. Besides shifting cultivation and traditional food crops, Mr. Naiding has little or no idea of other horticulture/ agriculture crops which could improve or change their livelihood. In spite of hard day labours work throughout the year, food security was still a big issue for every household in the village with a meager annual income of Rs 5000 – Rs 10,000 per household and just handful of grains to feed themselves. The village had hardly any horticultural plantation, kitchen garden, neither proper house for shelter nor any sanitation facilities and due to extensive deforestation, water source (water catchment area) has started drying up.
Sustainable agricultural development and food security will be one of the key challenges for India in this century. About 70% of the India's populations are living in rural area with agriculture as their livelihood support system. The vast number of Indian farmers are poor and their farm size is decreasing further due to population growth and land degradation caused by heightened nutrient mining, soil erosion, increasing water scarcity, adverse impacts of climate change and accumulation of toxic elements in soil and water. Land degradation, like climate change, is an anthropogenic induced process and possesses biggest threat to sustainable livelihood security of the farming communities across the country. All these factors combined with increased rate of land degradation are contributing towards decline in agricultural productivity leading to food insecurity. Since land resources are finite, requisite measures are required to reclaim degraded and wastelands, so that areas going out of cultivation due to social andeconomic reasons are replenished by reclaiming these lands and by arresting further loss of production potential.
At least 40 per cent of the world's economy and 80 per cent of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. Ecosystems provide life-sustaining services, many communities have been developed and their livelihoods built around it and maintaining our biodiversity helps us respond to changing and unforeseen environmental conditions. For the generations to come, in order to survive and prosper, we must urgently change our course towards a healthy planet and everyday work towards a stable environment where humans and environment thrive together. This means preserving biodiversity and lightening humanity's impact on natural habitats- starting now. The success holds in building sustainable landscape mosaics, designing conservation strategies, advocating favorable policies that support biodiversity conservation.
In the Eastern Himalayas, we are committed to preserving and conserving our natural resources and foster sustainable development. Everything humans have needed to survive, and thrive, is provided by the natural world around us: food, water, medicine, materials for shelter, and even natural cycles such as climate and nutrients. We are partnering each day with farmers and local communities to protect that planet that feeds us, grow more trees through our afforestation projects, restore our rich biodiversity, preserve our natural resources for our future generations, learn and educate through nature, and more importantly connect people to people who nurture nature for community development and upliftment.
We are the creators of tomorrow
We are the builders who would create a sustainable roadmap for our backbone farmers and communities

Mike: The story is the untold story of the life and times of one James Monroe. You may wonder: Why would you pick Monroe? There are great reasons why you would pick Monroe. I could pick John Quincy Adams, but I'll pick Monroe because I know Monroe's story better than I know Quincy Adams, even though the Massachusetts Historical Society that runs the John Quincy Adams Twitter feed does follow yours truly on Twitter. We have communicated a bit because we've done research on an episode in JQA's life when he fell into Tiber Creek and almost drowned that I turned into a Project '76 webisode. Enough about that.
So it is 1775 and George Washington is appointed by the Continental Congress as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. He is sent immediately to Boston. He is sent there because Boston is occupied by the British. William Howe, I believe, is running the martial law part of the town of Boston, aided and assisted by General Thomas Gage, the despicable Gage. Washington is sent to take Boston back. That's his first assignment. He does pull this task off. It takes him a little less than a year to figure out how to do it. That's another tale in and of itself. When Washington is told to leave after the Battle of Prospect Heights — which wasn't really a battle, it was a bluff — and Howe set sail and leaves Boston. John Hancock and company are convinced that Howe's brother — there are two Howes. There's Admiral Lord Howe and there's General William Howe. John Hancock is president of the Continental Congress. He is convinced that the Howes are going to stage their next assault on New York.

On Friday, we harvested . . .
Did you know "grabbling" means digging around for baby potatoes? Yep, it's not "grabbing", but "grabbling. On Friday, we got our first new potato and 9 strawberries. I would post some pictures here, except we ate them before I could get the camera.
It was joyful, my oldest boy and I, giggling as we found more strawberries to eat, him with the bowl yelling at me to give them the berries, and me jumping from raised bed to raised bed, trying not to step on anything too scary.
Did you know there is such a thing as white broccoli? I didn't. Good thing I googled it because I was about to go yell at the nursery people because I thought they'd sold me cauliflower instead of broccoli.
We have two bell peppers in our near future, tons of plums and pears growing on the trees, and hopefully some tomatoes down the road.
Hope your Monday is a fabulous one!
I am a little jealous! Sounds like you are already having some wonderful things to harvest!! Really I think it is wonderful. Nothing like picking strawberries and eating them right then. It just doesn't get any fresher than that!!

Colin Farrell Might Face Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman' As The Film's Third And Final Villain
Andrew HusbandTwitterNews & Culture Writer
Aside from star Robert Pattinson (whose workout routine is with the same trainer who prepared Keanu Reeves for John Wick), The Batman is boasting a who's who of actors and actresses in its sizeable supporting cast. This includes, as far as we know, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon. Per a new report from Deadline, however, it seems writer and director Matt Reeves' cast is about to get even bigger.
It seems none other than Colin Farrell, who previously faced off with prior Batman actor Ben Affleck in 2003's Daredevil movie, is in talks to play the Penguin. Should the Irish actor decide to take part in the production, he will "round out the trio of villains" that already includes Kravitz's Selina Kyle and Dano's Edward Nashton — the latter being a riff on the Riddler's original name, Edward Nygma.
Seeing as how Farrell is still "in talks" for the part, however, his casting isn't necessarily a done deal. Previously, Jonah Hill took part in a series of long negotiations for one of the two male villain roles. He ultimately dropped out of consideration, prompting rumors that frequent collaborator Seth Rogen might replace him as the Penguin, though this obviously hasn't happened. Previous live-action versions of the character include Danny DeVito's performance in 1992's Batman Returns and Robin Lord Taylor's take on FOX's Gotham series.
The Batman is set to hit theaters June 25, 2021.

This is me, Anne-Beate. I am the person behind this website.
Since 1997 I have been teaching Norwegian as a foreign language, and I really love my job. Another thing I do enjoy is to make exercises and different teaching material, and through out the years I have developed a lot of different teaching material, both for my own students, and on behalf of other offering language instruction.
As a language teacher in an expensive country as Norway, I get in touch with many people who either can`t afford a private teacher, or are living far away from someone offering language tuition. Gradually I got the idea to provide people with free language resources through this website.
This website is mainly a hobby, something I do in between other things as for example teaching students in my small language school NorLearn.

Fat Studies hits the big time [rimshot].
Fosco is a conference whore. Last fall, he presented a paper at the Midwestern Popular Culture Association Conference on a Fat Studies panel. Now, according to the NYTimes, Fat Studies is huge [giggle]. Read about it here. It was an excellent conference, actually. And the Fat Studies people (several of whom are quoted in the Times article) are really interesting and helpful.
For your consideration, here is an excerpt from Count Fosco's paper presented last fall. It was entitled "Can Fat Men Be Gay?: The Tension Between Obesity and Homosexuality Within Gay Male Culture":
To the extent that, to modern sensibilities, male sexual desire and fatness are unimaginable together, the animosity of gay men toward fatness becomes more explicable. Being gay in our culture is, almost by definition, a matter of sexual desire. The gay man identifies himself as possessing a certain type of sexual desire—a desire that, to a greater or lesser extent, focuses on other men. Gay pride, the explicit use of the "us" that Savage employs in his discussion of hate crimes, is, in this view, a solidarity based on sexual desire. Savage identifies with this group because he has similar desires. If Gilman is correct in suggesting that the fatness and desire are viewed as incompatible, Savage's exclusion of fat gay men from his idea of "us" becomes more understandable: if fat men do not have sexual desire, they cannot be included in a group that is defined by sexual desire. In this view, the answer to the question of this paper's title is clearly "no": fat men cannot also be gay.
I am not suggesting that all of gay men's antifat prejudice is due to the belief that fat gay men do not share the same desires as they do. There are plenty of other negative stereotypes about fat people that gay men, like everyone else in the culture, are exposed to on a daily basis. I don't want to downplay the other negative stereotypes about fat people, like that we are lazy or lacking in willpower. And I certainly don't want to discount the powerful anti-fat attractiveness norms that have developed in our society, such that fat people are automatically coded as disgusting. However, I do want to suggest that some of the prejudice that gay men feel toward fat people, as well as some of the anxiety that gay men feel about getting fat, is attributable to the belief that fatness is incompatible with sexual desire. Fatness, then, strikes at the root of a gay man's self-definition; it is easy to see why fatness becomes threatening. Although the multiply-determined nature of anti-fat prejudice makes it difficult to combat, this analysis suggests that, in order to combat this prejudice among gay men, the realities of fat sexual desire need to be asserted. The belly-dancers-of-size need to be seen at more than just the gay pride parade—we need to see them on television, rub elbows with them in the bars and clubs, and, yes, even read about them in our erotica. Only then will gay men truly begin to build a solidarity based on sexual desire.
Okay, so maybe this wasn't the most academic paper that Fosco has ever written... but it sure was a hoot to present. However, I have no doubt that there will be more opportunities for Fosco to do some good Gay Studies scholarship. Here's to the fat, fat future!

Happy Birthday, Parson Yorick!
On this day in 1713, Laurence Sterne was born in Clonmel, Ireland. Fosco has for years now been a fan of Sterne's masterpiece, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. This quarter, however, as a TA for the 18-century novel, Fosco has come to appreciate Sterne even more. His modernity is uncanny: in Tristram Shandy, Sterne managed to write a postmodern novel in 1760--at least 200 years before the such a category was even recognized.
Sterne work can be difficult, but it is extremely rewarding--mostly because it's hilarious. For the course this quarter, we read Sterne's travel novel, A Sentimental Journey, in which Sterne's alter ego, Parson Yorick, embarks on an impromptu journey to the Continent. This is no traditional travel narrative, however. Parson Yorick spends most of his time flirting with filles de chambre, mocking previous travel writers (like Tobias Smollett), and finding excuses to cry.
Here's a charming excerpt from A Sentimental Journey, in which Sterne makes fun of Smollett in the guise of "Smelfungus":
The learned SMELFUNGUS travelled from Boulogne to Paris--from Paris to Rome--and so on--but he set out with the spleen and jaundice, and every object he pass'd by was discoloured or distorted--He wrote an account of them, but 'twas nothing but the account of his miserable feelings.
I met Smelfungus in the grand portico of the Pantheon--he was just coming out of it--'Tis nothing but a huge cock-pit, said he--I wish you had said nothing worse of the Venus of Medicis, replied I--for in passing through Florence, I had heard he had fallen foul upon the goddess, and used her worse than a common strumpet, without the least provocation in nature.
I popp'd upon Smelfungus again at Turin, in his return home; and a sad tale of sorrowful adventures he had to tell, 'wherein he spoke of moving accidents by flood and field, and of the cannibals which each other eat: the Anthropophagi'--he had been flea'd alive, and bedevil'd, and used worse than St. Bartholomew, at every stage he had come at--
--I'll tell it, cried Smelfungus, to the world. You had better tell it, said I, to your physician.
I love it. That response is the eighteenth-century equivalent of "Tell it to your therapist." How can you not love Laurence Sterne?
From the pen of FOSCO at 9:23 AM 0 comments
What are you thankful for? Fosco tries not to be too thankful, because well, Oprah seems to think it's a good idea... (and that's a good enough reason to avoid it). But, if Fosco has to make a list of what he is thankful for, this is it:
the 99-cent monster taco from Jack in the Box
the new Thomas Pynchon novel--I can't wait for Holiday Break to read it!
"Veronica Mars"--if you aren't watching, you're a loser. Even if (like someone who will remain nameless) Kristen Bell reminds you of a muppet.
the word "macaca"

Panda Express takes on a Chinese-American classic with the introduction of their own rendition of General Tso's Chicken.
The new dish features chunks of crispy-fried white meat chicken wok-tossed in a sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce along with green beans, red and yellow bell peppers, and onions.
The original dish was created in the US back in the 1970s and seen many variations since. The ubiquity of the dish on many-a-Chinese restaurant's menu has even seen a documentary made regarding the origins of this Chinese-American dish.
Panda Express's General Tso's Chicken can be found at all locations through December 27, 2016.


Let me create a FUN, HAPPY & HEARTWARMING A3 digital portrait of your pet in the Ligne Claire style.
Ligne claire (french for 'clear line) is a style of drawing pioneered by Hergé, the Belgian creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It uses clear strong lines all of the same width and no hatching, while contrast is downplayed, which gives a flat cartoon, poster print quality.
Your pets portrait will be more than just a portrait. It will tell your story. Anyone who owns a pet understands that they are an important part of the family. Hence, all my pet portraits are staged in familiar settings that have significance to you. Maybe a favourite holiday destination with your caravan, or a special beach you like to visit. I can incorporate personalised objects that are sentimental to you, in fact anything that will help tell you and your pets story.
Please contact me and let's begin a conversation to get your story started!
The images shown are of recent commissions that I have undertaken to give you an idea of the style your portrait will be in and to get you to think about what other items/destinations you would like to be included that will help tell your own unique story.

WHAT IF WOMEN DIDN'T TALK?
Patriarchy baffles me as much as white supremacy does. How do the men, birthed by women, consider us inferior? When we raise our voices, we are irrational or hysterical. When we are emphatic, we are hostile. According to former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, we talk too much in meetings when we talk. Mori offered this weak excuse when questioned about the scarcity of women on the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, which he chairs. Later, the 83-year-old Mori apologized, citing criticism from his daughter and granddaughter.
That's Japan, not the United States, some might say. But show me a woman who has sent in an executive, civic, or academic meeting, and I'll show you a woman who has confronted patriarchal attitudes in meetings. Listening to men restate her point, which was ignored when she made it. Interrupted. Encountered the passive hostility that comes when men don't want to hear women's voices.
But in this Black History Month, I pondered the impact of Black women's voices and wondered what would happen if we were silent. What if Maggie Lena Walker didn't encourage us to turn our pennies into dollars, as she formed the Penny Savings Bank in Richmond, Virginia? What would have happened if Sojourner Truth did not proclaim that "ain't I a woman"? What would have happened if Harriet Tubman had not let hundreds out of enslavement by simply saying, "come on y'all" What would have happened if Maxine Waters had not reclaimed her time, or if now-Vice President Kamala Harris, as a Senator, interrupted someone by saying, "I was speaking." What would have happened if Shirley Chisholm had not proclaimed herself "unbought and unbossed," leading the way for Congresswomen like Ayana Pressley (MA), Yvette Clarke (NY), Joyce Beatty (OH), and Cori Bush( MO) to proclaim the same?
We appreciate former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court. How many of us know, though, of Julia Baxter Bates, the first Black woman to be admitted to Douglass College, the women's college of Rutgers. 'Baxter Bates graduated in 1938, hoping to teach in New Jerse schools, but segregation laws prevented her from chasing her dream. She earned a master's degree at Columbia University and taught at Dillard University in New Orleans. Then, she led the NAACP research component, working with Walter White, WEB Du Bois, and Thurgood Marshall. Many say that her research influenced the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case. Did she talk too much, or just enough? Her nephew, Kevin Fields, a New Jerse entrepreneur, says that Justice Marshall considered her "a partner."
History belongs to she who holds the pen, and whether it is intentional or simply myopic, too many men, regardless of race, have shown resistance to Black women's uplift. It becomes all too clear during Black History Month when too much is viewed through a patriarchal lens. For example, on February 1, folks commemorated the role four young Black men from North Carolina A&T State University played in desegregation by sitting at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter. How many know that the protest was planned at nearby Bennett College also played a role in that sit-in? Black women's voices, women's presence, and women's history need to be more visible.
Our legacy civil rights organizations, the NAACP, Urban League, and Rainbow PUSH, and the National Action Network must offer an example of shared leadership by emphasizing women's voices in their organizations. I'm not suggesting that men "move over" for women, young people, or anyone else. I'm saying that if the CEO is the President and CEO, perhaps the Board Chair should be a woman. Women, after all, are more likely to be dues-paying members of these organizations. Do we talk too much? Perhaps our voices are entirely proportionate to our contribution.
In any case, Olympic leader and former Japanese Prime Minister said what many men worldwide, and certainly in these United States, are thinking. Women talk too much in meetings. Really, dude? From my perspective, women don't talk enough, and embracing women's voices will improve our world. What if women didn't talk? Our world would be much worse off.

I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.
I moved Earth back to 1827 because I was pretty sure they wouldn't all fit in "Quadrant II." I was right.
I wasn't real sure that they'd all map to the Solomani Rim. They did.

Arcturus actually maps to Esperance Subsector F Hex 1518.
Capella actually does map to Subsector N Hex 1438.
Well, Pollux does map to Gemini Subsector O Hex 2036, so he's half right.
Castor maps to Aldebaran Sector 2002 Wovoka Subsector C.

Raw Data in case I screwed something up, or if someone disagrees wth my positions.
Sometimes it's a judgment call when more than one star maps to the same hex.
X and Y are two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates in parsecs. D is the actual distance in parsecs. GalLong is the actual Galactic Longitude. Sector Hex and Subsector should be self-explanatory.
Hexagonal grids don't exactly conform to the Pythagorean Theorem, so it's often another judgment call when choosing a hex.
Perhaps we simplied it too much.
We did NOT do any more serious adjustments. I know that throws some things off, but since the flattening of the 3-D map into 2-D does so much of that already, we felt our simplification was OK.
Let's take an example. How about Barnard's Star? Coincidentally (?), you've got it exactly where I put it with galactic coordinates.
It's at 17h 57m 48s +4° 41' 36"
What do you do wth the 17 hours and how does that relate to the hex positon?
Ok, maybe I'm seeing it now. Barnyard is close to 18 hours, so it's Coreward. Proxims st 14 29 43 is close to 12, so it's Spinward?
Yes, that is how we did it. If the RA was 18 hours, it was straight Coreward, if it was 14 hours, it would be Core-Spinward. Then we used actual distance and put it in the nearest hex. Basically, use a counter-clockwise rotation of the RA value starting with Zero being to the Right (Trailing) or at 0-degrees in a cartesian coordinate system.
We DID have situations where multiple stars would have fallen in the same hex. The farther from Earth, the more likely this was to happen as the numbers go up with the cube of radius in 3D but only the square of the radius in 2D. In that case, we picked the most "interesting" star (if it had a common name it was likely to get picked for example) and either moved the other to a nearby hex, or ignored it.

Q: Connect a python tkinter progressbar to non-linear absolut values via function I am looking for a function that dynamically calculates the progresbar of a python tkinter GUI. The special thing about it is, that the values to be displayed with the percentage of the progressbar are non-linear.

*

*100% should be absolut value 50

*0% should be absolut value 2

*So the full range of the progressbar should therefore represent 48 absolut values.
The problem now is, that (i.e. the half absolute value 24) should not represent the percentage value 50% but, for example, a percentage value of 74.

I get the values from an external sensor, which reads out data in real time.
How can I define this in a function that calculates the percentage values for each absolut value?
Thanks in advance!

A: This method should do the trick.
def calculate_progress(value):
    absolute_min = 2
    absolute_max = 50
    progress_min = 0
    progress_max = 100
    absolute_range = absolute_max - absolute_min
    progress_range = progress_max - progress_min
    if value <= 24:
        progress = 1.5625 * value + 3.125
    else:
        progress = 2.0833 * value - 22.0833
    progress_percentage = ((progress - absolute_min) * progress_range) / absolute_range
    return progress_percentage

Here is an example implementation.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

def calculate_progress(value):
    absolute_min = 2
    absolute_max = 50
    progress_min = 0
    progress_max = 100
    absolute_range = absolute_max - absolute_min
    progress_range = progress_max - progress_min
    if value <= 24:
        progress = 1.5625 * value + 3.125
    else:
        progress = 2.0833 * value - 22.0833
    progress_percentage = ((progress - absolute_min) * progress_range) / absolute_range
    return progress_percentage

def update_progress():
    global sensor_reading
    sensor_reading+=1
    progress = calculate_progress(sensor_reading)
    progress_bar['value'] = progress

sensor_reading = 0
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Non-Linear Progress Bar Example")

progress_bar = ttk.Progressbar(root, length=400, mode='determinate', maximum=100)
progress_bar.pack(pady=20)
b = tk.Button(root,text='update', command=update_progress)
b.pack()
root.mainloop()

Hope it helps!

I'm not one that needs to be convinced of a global New World Order conspiracy. I already know it exists. I see it and feel it creep into every aspect of our daily lives – into the corporate control of our political system, corporate control of the global food supply, the introduction of a menagerie of toxic chemicals into processed foods, the spraying of pesticides, the chemtrails, the mind control propaganda fed to us on television, and on and on. So I'm going into The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History knowing full well that the Conspiracy already exists.
The Unseen Hand was not a book that was originally on my reading list. I had been ruing the demise of the local independent bookstores, and had been in a conversation with a business associate who shared my feelings. Although we both agreed that the Internet has brought us the ease of finding whatever books we choose, he made a point that without the local bookstore there is no more browsing the shelves. You have to know what you're looking for, he contended, instead of stumbling upon some gem by chance because it shared the shelf of a particular choice topic. Although I didn't agree one hundred percent with his sentiment, I did see his point. So it was with this background that I went into a local independent bookstore that I had only recently discovered existed. The bookstore is called Alias, and it is literally the last of its kind in my area.
Inside of Alias, I found they had a thickly stocked section of esoteric books – most of which I couldn't afford. But I had to buy something. I had to support the local bookstore. And at 400+ pages, The Unseen Hand seemed like a pretty interesting trove of information.
Author A. Ralph Epperson makes it clear in the subtitle that this book is an "introduction." It is rife with information, but it is an overview of his research into the research of others. And the important point there is that few of his sources are primary sources. So although the footnotes are 30 pages long, the pages are filled with non-primary sources – often American Opinion and The Review of the News (two publications published by the John Birch Society.) Nevertheless, the timeline in Unseen Hand spans from the founding of America to the 1980s (this edition was published in 1994). So, understandably, it's a lot of conspiracy to cover.
Another important point to consider (when reading any book) is the point of view from which the author's voice originates. It soon became clear to me that Epperson is a religious man, a Christian, whose views are shaped by what he sees as the Conspiracy's goal to snuff out God and religion.
Epperson sees the Conspiracy as a communist/socialist plot to destroy individuality, property ownership, God and our republican form of government and replace it with a totalitarian form rule. He begins the book by explaining the freedom that this nation's founding fathers wrote into the founding documents and then continues to examine how the "money power" has stealthily infiltrated the system, using its influence to control economic booms and busts, foment wars and create problems to which it then offers solutions that ultimately result in further consolidation of the Conspiracy's power.
From the American Revolution to the Civil War to the Federal Reserve, World Wars 1 & 2, the sweep of communism through Cuba and South America, the atomic bomb and the infiltration of our political system by groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, Epperson details how the money power has undermined us, curtailed us and has kept us fighting amongst ourselves all the while crushing us under an oppressive system of ever-increasing debt.
I think among the more interesting points in the book are the events following World War II. America and its allies had just given everything they had to fight the good fight and keep fascist totalitarianism from sweeping through Europe. And then following the war, the Allies freely gave Russia the green light to sweep communist totalitarianism through Eastern Europe.
Some may view the Conspiracy as simply the invention of the paranoid. I don't. I've investigated it enough to know that not only is it real, but it infects every aspects of the average sleepwalker's life. And if you don't have your eye on the Conspiracy, then you are a sleepwalker.
And when I say "every aspect" I mean every aspect. I don't believe, as Epperson contends, that the Conspiracy means to destroy God and religion. Rather, it aims to control it, just as it aims to control everything else. The Conspiracy funds both sides of every war. It funds both sides of every issue. It most likely funded and had a back-door involvement in the recent Occupy movement – along with the Anonymous Hacker phenomenon. Since the Conspiracy prints our money and puts us in debt for its creation, it has a limitless supply of funds. And it uses them.
I do not believe, as Epperson contends, that the Conspiracy meant to supplant American democracy with communism. Rather, it meant to create and foment communism as the enemy of capitalism so we would be in a state of never-ending conflict. And as communism faded, the Conspiracy brought us terrorism.
Because we must always have an enemy to fight if they are to control us.

Q: How to select a single value from the list in a dictionary? I have a data structure as follows.
Dictionary<Blopp, List<double>> data = ...;

One can see that it's kind of a list of dictionaries, really. And now, I'd need to access each of them independently. So I'm looking to get something like this.
for(int i = 0; i < data.First().Value.Count; i++)
{
  Dictionary<Blopp, double> partial = ...;
  // do stuff to the partial number i
}

How can I do that?
I've googled but it's a bit hard to explain in goolenglish what I'm looking for so I got jack. :(
Edit
Apparently, not only googling was confusingly hard to get, so, as suggested, I'm providing a data based example.
State before:

{ A:{q,w,e,r}, B:{a,s,d,f}, C:{z,x,c,v} }

State requested for the first iteration of the outer loop.

{ A:q, B:a, C:z }

State requested for the second iteration of the outer loop.

{ A:w, B:s, C:x }

State requested for the third iteration of the outer loop.

{ A:e, B:d, C:c }

In the above pseudo-example, capitals represent the keys while lower-cased correspond to the doubles.

A: I think this is what you intended to do:
for (int i = 0; i < data.First().Value.Count; i++)
{
    var partial = data.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value.ElementAt(i));

    Console.WriteLine("i={0}", i);
    foreach(var item in partial)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Key={0}    Value={1}",item.Key, item.Value);
    }
}

Output:
i=0
Key=A    Value=q
Key=B    Value=a
Key=C    Value=z
i=1
Key=A    Value=w
Key=B    Value=s
Key=C    Value=x
i=2
Key=A    Value=e
Key=B    Value=d
Key=C    Value=c
i=3
Key=A    Value=r
Key=B    Value=f
Key=C    Value=v

A: You can do this :
var firstEntry = data.First();
for(int i = 0; i < firstEntry.Value.Count; i++)
{
  Dictionary<Blopp, double> partial = data.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value[i]);
  // do stuff to the partial number i
}

Or you can turn into the whole data into a list of separated dictionaries using LINQ :
List<Dictionary<Blopp,double>> listOfDict =
Enumerable.Range(0,data.First().Value.Count)
          .Select(i => data.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value[i]))
          .ToList();

EDIT :
Both of the previous approaches create a lot of throw-away dictionaries. This is of course less efficient and useless if you don't need to modify them and you only need to perform look-up's. So, I would go for an extension method exploiting some wrapper classes :
static class MultiDictionaryExtension
{
    #region Extension
    public static IEnumerable<IDictionary<TK, TV>> AsSeparatedDictionaries<TK, TV>(this IDictionary<TK, List<TV>> multiDict)
    {
        int numDictionaries = multiDict.First().Value.Count;
        for (int i = 0; i < numDictionaries; i++)
            yield return new SingleDictionaryWrap<TK, TV>(multiDict, i);
    }
    #endregion

        public int Index { get; private set; }
        public SingleDictionaryWrap(IDictionary<TK, List<TV>> multiDict, int index)

            this.Index = index;
            this.multiDict = multiDict;
        }

        }

        public void Add(TK key, TV value) { throw new NotSupportedException("This dictionary is readonly"); }
        public bool Remove(TK key) { throw new NotSupportedException("This dictionary is readonly"); }
        public bool TryGetValue(TK key, out TV value)
        {

            List<TV> values;

                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
        public void Add(KeyValuePair<TK, TV> item) { throw new NotSupportedException("This dictionary is readonly"); }
        public void Clear() { throw new NotSupportedException("This dictionary is readonly"); }
        public bool Contains(KeyValuePair<TK, TV> item)

            TV value;
            if (this.TryGetValue(item.Key, out value))
            {
                return Object.Equals(value, item.Value);
            }

        }

    }
    #endregion
}

Quite long extension class, but look how it makes everything simpler :
foreach (var partial in dict.AsSeparatedDictionaries())
{
    // use partial as a normal IDictionary<Blopp,double>
    // if you need the current "i" use partial.Index
}

DISCLAIMER :
All the previous codes assume that ALL the inner lists have exactly the same length.

A: I beleive this will do what you want. There may be a simpler way to do this and if I think of it I will update the answer, this code works even if the inner lists do not have all the same length.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Dictionary<Blopp, List<double>> data = CreateData();

    List<Dictionary<Blopp, double>> result = PiviotDictionary(data).ToList();
}

{
    bool foundValue = true;
    for(int i = 0; foundValue == true; i++)
    {
        foundValue = false;
        var result = new Dictionary<TKey, TValue>();

Overweight and obesity also raise the health hazards for kids and adolescents. Type 2 diabetes once was uncommon in American children. However, an increasing variety of youngsters is growing the disorder. Additionally, overweight kids are much more than likely to become overweight or obese as adults, with the same disease threats. The association between obesity and prostate cancer has been examined widely. The outcomes of individual studies don't indicate a consistent association between obesity and prostate cancer. But when the information from several studies are pooled, investigations reveal that obesity might be related to a rather slight increase in the danger of prostate cancer.
Typically, the risk of prostate cancer was associated with levels of specific hormones and growth factors, particularly IGF1. Some studies have demonstrated a weak association between increasing BMI and risk of ovarian cancer, particularly in premenopausal women, although other studies haven't found an organization. As with several other types of cancer, an association between ovarian cancer and obesity may reveal increased rates of estrogens.

I've stayed silent on these things way too long. I've watched with helpless disgust while the politics around me shifted from the deeper social understanding of mass-movements into the isolated politics of drug legalization, spiritualism, and foodie-ism.
At a certain point though, I gotta call some people out, and my firm NO ON 37 stance is a good place to start. You might know that this is the Proposition that aims to require labeling of genetically modified food. The "right-to-know" act. My basic issue is this. We require labeling for things that have a scientifically demonstrated impact on our health. Genetic modification has no proven effect on our health, and the only demonstrations that may show a correlation are problematic studies by people with demonstrated political leanings.
And it doesn't end there. It's one kid after another paraded in front of the camera, begging on behalf of their paranoid mothers. And it goes further. It's one conflation after another. Monsanto opposes it. GMO farming is big agribusiness which is bad for the environment. And a bunch of other reasons I really can't think of nor care to right now.
Thing is, people aren't opposed to curbing Monsanto's power, or making big agribusiness more sensitive to the environment. But none of those things have anything to do with labeling GMOs.
Look, you have a right to know what's in your food, it's true. You have a right to buy gluten-free organic non-GMO vegan food produced in ground plowed by unicorns under a full-moon in mid-april and irrigated with Fijian artesian water. Work with the farmers you like to develop some trusted labeling system so you can live your perfect little ultra-food lifestyle.
But none of these things have any demonstrated effect on our health. Food is food. Your body grinds it up, breaks it down, and rebuilds it. It doesn't matter what the original form was. Everything else is in your head, as far as the rest of the world and I are concerned. Leave the rest of us out of your games, don't force the rest of us to to deal with your fantastic understanding of food.

I created an EL circuit that can switch the pac-man ghost from normal ghost, to scared ghost, to eyeballs. It's an experiment more than anything. It's portable, and I'd like to make it more wearable. Definitely easy to carry around.
This entry was posted in Leeroy Jenkins and tagged EL wire pac-man ghost halloween on October 31, 2012 by Mr. Biggs.
Pac-Man is the philosophy of the dog-eat-dog, work-a-day world. The constant repetitive struggle to earn one's keep, that keeps repeating endlessly until the ghosts of the world get the better of you.
That's all there is to it. And in that, such a simple game becomes so profound as to be a timeless classic.
But let's get beyond the maddeningly unphilosophical lesson of it all and have fun with some of the music, shall we? The jingle in particular. It's a staccato rhythm, C5, C#5, C5, ascension to C. That's the gyst of it. Even the chords are maddening. No chord progressions, no higher chords, just the basic C, and it never gets more than a half-note away. The C5 is the home page of chord theory. The C#, its next of kin that may struggle for something higher, but is still intimately tied with it. And even then, it leads right back to C, its struggle hilariously futile. With a finish-off that all notes lead to C.
And that's your game of Pac-Man. Your goal isn't to beat the bad guy, it isn't to live happily ever after, it's just to survive. Avoid the myriad of ghosts that can trip you up in this world. Even if they will ultimately pronounce your doom. Occasionally, and it only happens so often, you get on a trump, and that's where you feel invincible. And just maybe you are. But those moments only happen so often, don't think you're naturally invincible, learn to treasure those moments and use them to your advantage, if possible.
Because soon enough, it's right back to where you were.

Facilitators For Life
Soap For Hope
Linens For Life
ISSA Hygieia Network
Diversey's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs drive us to work with diverse partners around to the world to improve lives in the communities where we operate. Employee volunteerism, disaster relief, and product donations are a reflection of Diversey's efforts to be a good corporate citizen. However, what differentiates Diversey is our extension of CSR to creating shared value (CSV). By partnering with our customers and NGOs, we tackle shared social and environmental challenges. Mutually beneficial programs like Soap For Hope and Linens For Life touch all three parts of sustainability with social, environmental and financial benefits.
SOAP FOR HOPE™
Over 7 million children die each year from diseases that can be prevented with simple hand washing. And every year, a typical 400-room hotel generates 3.5 tons of solid soap waste. That waste either goes to landfill, or is shipped to a global recycling facility, costing hotels hefty fees.
That's why we started Soap for Hope, which teaches at-risk communities to salvage the hotels' soap slivers and turn them into new soap bars.
LINENS FOR LIFE™
Linens for Life has a simple but powerful objective: to empower people displaced by disasters with support from Diversey and its hotel customers. With this program, several families in a community are able to earn a small livelihood by converting linens discarded by hotels into new and useful items that they can sell. At the same time, hotels can recycle their unwanted linens in a way that makes a real difference, helping people who have lost everything in a natural disaster and who reside in refugee camps.
Communities receive basic training on how to sew and use sewing machines donated by Diversey. A local charity is trained to operate the program. Once trained, they can work at a refugee camp's communal building to give a new lease on life to the linen donated by the hotels. Items created include pillow cases, tote bags and simple clothing, which are then sold to earn a small income for the people who made them.
Women should not face gender discrimination and should always enjoy opportunities for advancement solely on merit. Sadly this is not always the case and, exacerbating the problem, women at all levels are often less confident requesting the tools and training required for continuous professional development.
The ISSA Hygieia Network aims to reverse this invidious social conditioning and provide an empowering and supportive network that allows talent to shine and develop regardless of gender.

TOP STORIES / World / Asia
Nepal's new prime minister brings some hope for the future
Nepal's new Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai from the Maoist party is the country's fourth in three years. He is a beacon of hope for the small south Asian country wedged between arch-rivals China and India.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai could be a good choice for India and China
There was some hope last week as the Maoist People's Liberation Army handed over some 3,400 weapons to the Army Integration Special Committee, which is headed by the Nepalese government. Opposition parties and foreign diplomatic missions welcomed the handover.
Ever since the decade-long conflict that cost 16,000 lives and displaced over 150,000 people came to an end in 2006, Nepal has struggled to get back on its feet. Its numerous political parties have struggled for power, as have the dozens of different communities in the country that all want more say in the political process.
Daily life is often disrupted by protests and mass demonstrations
"On top of this," says Lars Stöwesand from Heidelberg University, "the two biggest groups that fought against each other are now sitting at the same table. Of course, they want to bring an end to the peace process but they haven't managed yet."
Fragile coalitions hinder progress
The fragile coalition governments of the past five years have also hindered the drafting of a constitution, whose deadline has been postponed again and again. The deadline set by the new prime minister is now the end of November.
Political analyst Karl-Heinz Krämer says that the country, which is already the second-poorest in Asia according to the UN's Human Development Index, will continue to stagnate politically and economically if there isn't swift progress in the peace and renewal process in the drafting of a constitution.
However, he is optimistic that the new prime minister might be able to get the job done. Baburam Bhattarai, who studied at New Delhi's renowned Jawarharlal Nehru University, already has a reputation for being an assertive and strong-minded politician with integrity, and as finance minister in Maoist leader Prachanda's government, he was able to demonstrate his managerial skills.
Krämer thinks that the Maoists' former chief ideologist will be considered a good choice by both China, which has always had a close relationship with the Maoists, and India, which Bhattarai - going against his own party line - always insisted the Maoists should cooperate more with.
India versus China
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world
Nepal, which is predominantly Hindu, has always had close links to India in religious, cultural and linguistic terms, but China is now moving in aggressively, says Kramer. "For a long time, China was merely interested in ensuring any opposition on the part of exiled Tibetans in Nepal was suppressed, but that has all changed in the past few years. It is striking that whenever a delegation from India visits Nepal another one from China follows a few days later."
Nepal's 30 million inhabitants have suffered from the country's poor infrastructure, the limited health and education facilities, and rising inflation, but there is some hope there could be light at the end of the tunnel.
Tourism is an area that the government would like to develop. The Buddha was born in a small town called Lumbini in Nepal and the country also boasts the highest mountain in the world, the Everest. With these two assets, Nepal wants to double the number of foreign visitors per year to two million by 2020.
It also hopes to expand its hydro-electric stations to cover not only its own energy needs but also supply energy-hungry India. In future, Nepal does not want to be dependent on development aid.

The Litter for Good™ program encourages consumers to nominate their favorite animal shelters to receive free litter at www.catspride.com/litterforgood and to purchase a green jug of Cat's Pride® Fresh & Light® litter. For every green jug sold, Cat's Pride will donate a pound of litter to shelters nationwide to help animals in need, with the goal of five million pounds of litter donated this year and twenty million pounds by the year 2020. Cat's Pride is also continuing to partner with actress, producer and animal rights activist Katherine Heigl to help promote the program through "Litter for Good" videos, TV commercials and social media advocacy to encourage all shelters around the country to participate.
Consumers can nominate local animal shelters to receive free litter. The more nominations shelters receive, the more litter they are eligible to claim.

Two pounds will be donated for every box and pail of Fresh & Light litter purchased.

"Through our work with animal shelters, we know how much they appreciate donations of litter and I'm thrilled to play a part in helping Cat's Pride support this initiative," said Katherine Heigl. "Litter donations will make a huge difference by freeing up dollars that shelters can use toward saving more companion animals."
The program addresses a critical need in the shelter community, where 3.2 million cats enter shelters every year and over half are euthanized. Cat's Pride is committed to Changing Litter for Good®, by developing innovative, high performance products, minimizing the environmental impact of its business, and supporting the work of animal welfare organizations nationwide.
"We have been donating litter to shelters for decades, but now we're excited to extend that to even more shelters across America," said Dan Jaffee, President and CEO of Oil-Dri, maker of Cat's Pride. "It's never been easier to help. Shelters tell us they desperately need donations of litter and this is a great, simple way for consumers to make a difference. You buy a jug and we donate a pound."
Helping animals is second nature to Jaffee, a third-generation President and CEO of the family-run company, Oil-Dri. He is passionate about cats and litter and as a 20-year board member of The Anti-Cruelty Society®, Jaffee takes a personal interest in helping animals and improving Cat's Pride products, to improve the lives of cats.

Q: How to move only executable files to subdirectory in bash? I am trying to clean up my directories and would like to move all executable files to a subdirectory. I know 'find -executable' will find all the files and I know I'm suppose to use mv to move them but I can't really pipe from find into mv?
Is there a way to do this instead of me typing so many exec files one by one into mv.
I also can not use * as they are all named different and don't have mutual extension. It's easy to do that for all .c or .py files but with exec files I'm having hard time figuring it out.

A: Try this: find search_dir -executable -exec mv {} target_dir \;


Ice skating is a classic winter sport, and it doesn't get much better than ice skating outdoors in a place as charming as Midway, Utah. Midway is arguably the most delightful small town in Utah. Its abundance of fun activities and cozy resorts make it an ideal winter getaway for families, or for romance.
Our evening at Midway Ice Rink was memorable because it was my 7-year-old son's first time on ice skates and my 10-year-old daughter's second time. It was the first time any of us had skated outdoors.
I love giving my children opportunities to try new things because it gives them experience and confidence. We don't ice skate often, but I hope that this experience will encourage my children to try ice skating again, and be open to other new experiences.
We were all really wobbly at the beginning of the evening. My son used a stabilizer until he figured out how to balance on skates. By the end of the evening all of us were skating with a lot more confidence, and that made it more fun.
Another thing I loved about our experience at the Midway Ice Rink was that it was active. We struggle as much as anyone to limit screen time and encourage active play. We were all so excited and engaged in this new activity that television, video games and mobile devices were forgotten.
Add two hours of skating to the swimming and snow tubing that we did on our family weekend in Heber Valley, and we all earned the beautiful brunch buffet at Zermatt Resort on our last morning in Midway.
If you're planning a winter trip to Heber Valley or Park City, the Midway Ice Rink is one of the largest outdoor ice rinks in the state. It is fun in the afternoon or evening and popular with both tourists and locals.
Disclosure: My family was hosted by Midway Ice Rink for the purpose of review. All opinions are my own.

Wonderful pictures with nice location will great fun with loved ones.
