"Cowboy caviar" is sometimes just another name for "Texas Caviar," a black-eyed peas dish. When black beans are substituted for black-eyed peas, "Texas caviar" becomes "Cowboy caviar," some insist. "Cowboy caviar" is most widely known as an energized sort of bean dip.
One "Cowboy caviar" version is simply an eggplant-based appetizer.
Karen Moore sent an updated recipe that replaces half the vinegar with lime juice, uses fresh cilantro rather than parsley, and green onions rather than yellow. Pat Livesey says that if you replace the black-eyed peas with black beans, the result is "Cowboy Caviar." She serves it over a block of cream cheese, and adds black olives and cumin to the marinade. Several readers say they add chopped fresh tomato to the pea mixture.
There were chilis galore and a delicious eggplant-based appetizer spread called Cowboy Caviar.
A company from San Juan Capistrano, Calif., calls its tasty vegetable mixture Cowboy Caviar.
Recent additions to the catalogue include whitefish caviar, shipped frozen, and Cowboy Caviar, a blend of fresh eggplant, tomatoes and peppers with garlic and spices.
And as nicely cooked, broiled shell steak could have stood better on its own, without an off-flavored chopped vegetable mixture called Cowboy Caviar.
AMERICAN SPOON FOODS has some wonderful treats to accompany holiday turkey or ham; old-fashioned corn relish with a touch of sweetness (an eight-ounce jar is $5.75) or Cowboy Caviar vegetable pate (a nine-ounce jar is $5.50) Both are low in calories and fat.


If you're heading to the airport this week to start your summer holiday, you might want to think twice before shoving your swimsuit and sunscreen into a hold-all that's seen better days. Research released by Virgin Atlantic reveals that the luggage we carry and what we pack says a lot about the type of traveller we are, and also the type of person we are in general.
The study shows that one in five of us (20 per cent) can't remember the last time we bought new luggage, while more than half (55 per cent) would only upgrade their suitcase if it was worn-out or broken.
At the other end of the scale are the luggage kings and queens, these are the one in ten (10 per cent) people who admit to buying luggage to trump their travel companions. Young people are also influenced by the designer cases they see on the arms of celebs with a quarter (25 per cent) of 16-24 year olds admitting they would buy new luggage to copy a celebrity.
But what does your luggage say about you? Virgin Atlantic asked leading behavioural expert Judi James to put your suitcase under the microscope.
Choosing practicality over style says a lot about your personality according to behavioural expert Judi James. Judi says: "Still living in the glory days of their gap year, this traveller is unashamedly the eternal teen, loving to imagine that they can lead the freewheeling, commitment-free lifestyle forever. They hate being pinned down or pressured into any form or responsibility and they like to think they can go anywhere the wind decides to blow them. They cherish their good causes but they can also have a tendency to be tactless or unfeeling at times, usually with the excuse that 'I was just being honest' or 'I was just being myself'.

Q: Java Abstract classes good practices I am just now learning about Abstract classes in Java and I was wondering.
Would having package private fields be considered bad practices?
For example:
abstract class Parent {
    String testField;

    public void method() {
        System.out.println(testField);
    }
}

Then on the children class I would do
public final class Children extends Parent {

    @Override
    public void method() {
        logger.log(testField);
    }

}

In this example would it be bad practice?
Or should I make them private and instead use getters and setters for them like normally?

A: It depends on what you want to do. However, in many cases encapsulation or information hiding can be a useful principle. In your case, this would mean making the member variable protected or private and exposing it only through getters/setters or not at all. This yield some advantages:

*

*You can change the implementation of your class (e.g. changing the type of testField) without breaking the code of other programmers

*The code is more clear to other programmers as they only need to consider the public methods

*It makes the code easier to test

*It discourages feature envy and tight coupling

A: There's lots of advice. Prefer composition to inheritance. Prefer interfaces to base classes. Keep type hierarchies flat. Class should tend be either leaf (could be marked final) or abstract.
The most important practice here is avoiding protected. It's a mistake in the language. Also avoid default/package private access on anything but top level types.

A: In general (meaning exceptions are allowed under well defined circumstances), a field of a class should be private, and any access to it will require the use of a getter or a setter (or, more general, an 'accessor' or a 'mutator').
One (well known) exception is for static final fields of an immutable or primitive type – sometimes referred to as a constant.
When you can make sure (really sure) that your code is the only one that will access that field (for now and all overseeable future), you may consider to make it public (rarely), package private or protected. You will find this pattern quite often in classes from the java and javax packages; it works there because you cannot place your new classes to one of these packages, and therefore the code in your class cannot access the package private and protected fields – and because the (abstract) base classes in these packages that have protected fields are itself not public, inheritance would not help.
It will not work in most other cases (although things are changing since Jigsaw …), so you are limited to private internal classes in these cases.
Of course, when you write only disposable code, considerations like these are obsolete. Otherwise, you should always completely encapsulate all data, so that you/your code has complete control over any access/modification of it.

A: We can make methods protected in base abstract classes so that only sub classes override it.
 protected void method() {
    System.out.println(testField);
}

Becoming a dad means you get used to certain changes from your pre-kid life. Rarely do you get to sleep in. You still get into new music, but it's different–you know all of Daniel Tiger's songs but none of Lil Yachty's. And your precious clothes are always at risk of stains.
Recently, I was half-assedly picking up after my kids (they're 3 and not, like, tidy) and absentmindedly stuck a red crayon in the pocket of my khakis. You can guess that I then machine washed and dried those khakis, which was disastrous for everything in the wash, including one of my favorite shirts, a gauzy polka dot camp number I wear all the time. It came out of the dryer mottled with waxy red spots.
But all was not lost. I did some research and found some solutions people have had success with before. The important elements of getting crayon out: hot water and dish soap (this may not be the best method for more delicate fabrics, but it was fine for cotton). I was surprised how well it worked.
First, run the washer on hot. You want it as hot as you can get it. If possible, add boiling water–I added a couple of pitchers from an electric kettle.
Pre-treat the stains to the extent you can–rub a little laundry detergent or dish soap on there or spray-on pre-treatment if you have it.
For a normal load, add a half cup of white vinegar and a third cup of dish soap to the water (don't need to be exact, we're not making a souffle here). Add whatever detergent you'd normally add as well.
For stuff that's gotten really stained, you'll likely have to do this twice.
That's it. I was pretty close to throwing a bunch of these clothes out but after a couple rounds in the hot wash they're all fine (except my daughter's pink terry cloth skirt–RIP).


Scotland's unemployment rate has fallen to record low, with new figures showing 3.7% of the population do not have a job.
The jobless total for the country fell 13,000 over the three months covering August to October - a drop of 11.2% - to stand at 100,000.
Joblessness fell among both males and females, with the number of men out of work down by 8,000 over the period to 58,000, while the number of women without a job decreased 5,000 to 42,000.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed there was also a small reduction in the number of people in work.
This fell by 1,000 over the period, with 2,633,000 people aged 16 and over in employment.
Three-quarters (75%) of the working age population - those aged between 16 and 64 - had some form of work, according to the data, putting the employment rate below the 75.7% recorded across the UK as a whole.
But the Scottish unemployment rate was lower than the 4.1% recorded across the UK.
Scotland's business minister Jamie Hepburn said the figures showed "the Scottish economy and jobs market remain strong despite the continued challenges of Brexit".
Mr Hepburn said: "Scotland's unemployment rate fell again, down to 3.7%, which is lower than the UK rate of 4.1% - where unemployment has remained unchanged over the quarter. This is our lowest unemployment rate on record.
"Although overall employment fell very slightly over the quarter, on employment for women and young people, we continue to outperform the UK with a rate of 71.3% for women, higher than the UK rate of 71.2%, and 58.8% for young people, higher than the UK rate of 55.9%.
"Compared to the UK we also have lower rates of unemployment for both women and young people."
He added: "We remain committed to creating the right economic environment for jobs growth - and our record on unemployment shows this is working.
"However, Brexit remains the biggest threat to Scotland's prosperity and these statistics reinforce the urgent need to ensure the positive work we are doing to strengthen our economy is not undone."
With the figures published the day before the Scottish budget, Mr Hepburn said this would "set out how we help protect Scotland as far as we can from the damaging uncertainty of Brexit and how we will deliver on our vision of a healthier, wealthier and fairer country".
He added: "Ultimately, we believe staying in the EU is in Scotland's best interests."
Liz Cameron, director and chief executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said: "Today's labour market statistics are good news for the Scottish economy, with unemployment at a record low.
"The employment rate is below that of the UK as a whole but remains resilient in what is, a difficult economic environment.

Q: change a color to a header in UITableView I want to change the font color in my header, so, I'm delegating the viewForHeaderInSection:
- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
     UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)];

     UILabel *headerLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)];

    [headerLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    [headerLabel setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [headerView addSubview:headerLabel];

    return headerView;
 }

The background color is set but the text likes to be transparent, there is nothing.
I tried to comment the backgroundColor the white disappears but the text doesnt.
I tried to comment all the block and the text appears with the default color.
where is my mistake? Thank you in advance
I found it, I missed:
[headerLabel setText: @"myText"];

It seems that:
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection: (NSInteger)section

is not called when implementing viewForHeaderInSection.
Thanks!

A: Hopefully this method from the UITableViewDelegate protocol will get you started:
- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
UIView *headerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)] autorelease];
 if (section == integerRepresentingYourSectionOfInterest)
 [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
  else
 [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
  return headerView;
}

Replace [UIColor redColor] with whichever UIColor you would like. You may also wish to adjust the dimensions of headerView.

CNC milling is a cost effective solution for machining parts with complex shapes and/or tight tolerances, especially for low volume projects. CNC precision milling can produce virtually any shape where the material is accessible by the rotating cutting tools. Also, if you have components that are not round or square and have a unique or complex shape, we can help. With inhouse custom fixturing capabilities, we specialize in the precision milling and machining of hard-to-hold, difficult-to-manufacture castings, forgings and other metal components. Learn More.
Contour offers a number of precision CNC turning services for a wide range of industries and applications. Turning processes include cutting, facing, threading, forming, drilling, knurling, and boring. We can work with steel, stainless, brass, bronze, copper, iron, nickel, tin, titanium, Inconel and more. We can also machine plastics like ABS, Polycarbonate, PVC, and PTFE. Work piece sizes range from less than 1" in diameter to about 10" in diameter, and up to about 12" in length, depending upon part configuration. Thru the bore capacity in the lathes is up to 3" diameter. Typical volumes range from 25 pieces to 15,000 pieces. Learn More.
At Contour, we use state of the art Mori Seiki and Hitachi Seiki Milling / Turning Centers to perform simple to complex turning, milling, threading, drilling, boring, tapping and knurling operations. Materials range from aluminums and plastics to various irons, steels, and stainless steels. We can work with hot rolled and/or cold drawn material. Work holding is generally accomplished via 10" 3 jaw chucks. Work piece sizes range from less than 1" to about 15", depending on part configuration. Typical volumes range from 25 pieces to 25,000 pieces. We take on prototype work when there is a good likelihood that the prototypes will lead to future production orders. Learn More.
Five-axis machining allows us to move a workpiece along five different axes simultaneously. This provides precision machining of complex parts and the ability to drop-off many components complete…thus making the use of this advanced technology extremely economical. Five-axis CNC machining and five-sided milling is also ideal for achieving the fine surface finishes increasingly being required by our customers. Our equipment include a Haas UMC750 5 Axis machine, a Deckel Maho DMU 50 Evo 5-axis, 5 sided machining center and a Hitachi Seiki Super Hi-Cell CNC 5 axis turn/mill with bar feeders and 10" chucks.
Vertical Machining, also known as milling, uses rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece. This technology employs a spindle in a vertical orientation, working with gravity, allowing for the removal of material from the top of a workpiece. These machines are extremely versatile and, with 3, 4 & 5 axis capabilities VMCs, can machine a wide range of shapes. Our equipment includes a Mori Seiki DV5100 machining center with APV and 3 Hitachi Seiki VM-40 VMCs with APV. The work envelope on our VMCs is 22"X17"X12".

Professor Sandra Carr
sandra.carr@uwa.edu.au
Expected outcomes at 12 months
1. An evaluation framework for Health Humanities in health professions curricula.
2. Description of initiatives and courses in Health Humanities at WUN universities
3. Substantiated rationale for including Humanities as core material in health professions curricula.
4. Expansion of the core research network to include health service and education sectors partners.
5. Jointly authored publications of the outcomes.
6. Identification of other collaborative research opportunities.
7. Provision of mentorship for early-career researchers.
8. Present outcomes at the 2021 WUN Conference
The gap between patient expectations and the performance of health professionals appears to be widening. The time has come for a compassionate medicine that puts the patient at the core of their own healthcare and where collaborative inter-professional teamwork that facilitates effective and holistic care is promoted. Health Humanities is a rapidly evolving field that provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the meaning of health, illness and disease for patients in the context of the social worlds in which they live and work. Health Humanities, which includes the fields of narrative medicine, history of medicine, culture studies, technology, medical anthropology, medical sociology, philosophy, literature, the arts and music; focuses more on meaning-making than measurement. Health Humanities, by bringing humanities scholars together with clinicians, educators and medical scientists, is highly innovative and will make a significant impact in shaping the future direction of healthcare for our communities.
Worldwide, Health Humanities in the context of educating health professions, is increasingly seen as a vehicle to provide a balance between the dichotomous teaching of the sciences and the critical and reflexive skills health professionals need. Engagement with creative practices is now being considered essential for future health professionals who will need to think flexibly, be innovators, design creative solutions to institutional gridlocks and exercise sound judgement. Since 2005 some 50 programs in health humanities have commenced in the US and 25 in the UK. While the popularity of these programs is growing, much of the development relies on committed individuals rather than being core in curricula. The impact of health humanities during training and in professional practice is complex and under-researched with even fewer studies of health humanities in the baccalaureate level programs. Internationally, there are several Centres and Institutes focused on the study of Health or Medical Humanities including WUN Members Cape Town, Maastricht, and Alberta, each with a difference focus and who are not currently working together.
With the commencement of the first Australian undergraduate major in Humanities for Health and Medicine at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 2019, it is timely and appropriate for UWA to bring together experienced researchers and educators to form an international WUN Health Humanities research collaboration to substantiate the rationale for including humanities as core material in health professions curricula.
The focus of this project is to:
1. Design an evaluation framework to assist health professions education providers at WUN universities to describe, using a consistent approach, the learning processes and core learning outcomes in health humanities teaching.
2.Conduct an international, multi-centre, collaborative study including all WUN partners that will
validate the developed framework through analysis of international health humanities curricula both in the pre-health baccalaureate level and selected medicine, nursing and allied health courses.
3. Describe to what extent initiatives and courses in Health Humanities at WUN universities are effective in shifting graduate attributes.
The team will be led by the Professor Sandra Carr (UWA) with senior-level advisory from Professors Steve Reid (Capetown), Dr Claire Hooker (Sydney) and Pamela Brett-Maclean (Alberta) and external advisory from Professor Jane MacNaughton (Durham).

Peanuts - Movie Trailer! 19 March 2014.
To say I'm excited about this would be an understatement. Other than Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts was one of my favorite forms of comic strip based entertainment when I was a kid. I'm honestly surprised it took them this long to make this happen.
Fox says, "For the first time ever, Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang we know and love from Charles Schulz's timeless "Peanuts" comic strip will be making their big-screen debut; like they've never been seen before in a CG-Animated Feature film in 3D."
The website is http://www.peanutsmovie.com/index.html. I'll embed the trailer in the bottom of this blog post. Look for Peanuts to come in 2015!

Malaysian Airlines MH370: A Modern Day LOST. 12 March 2014.
This event that has occurred is a tragedy. These comparisons and coincidences are not meant to "poke fun" at the event, or meant to upset any family members of this tragedy. My prayers go out to anyone still awaiting news about this horrific event. This article is meant to compare some interesting facts about the fictional 815 and the actual MH370.
Oceanic 815
In the wake of the mysterious tragedy that leaves investigators searching for the missing Malaysian Airlines plane MH370, the comparisons immediately come to mind to the TV show, Lost.
The plane used to represent Oceanic 815 in Lost was a Boeing 777. The ABC website for Oceanic Air had a seating chart for Oceanic 815. The title stated "OCEANIC AIRLINES : Seating Chart 777 : ALL FLIGHTS CANCELLED". At the bottom of the chart are words, "Oceanic 777." This indicates that Oceanic 815 was a Boeing 777.
Two main characters in the show had fake passports. Mr. Eko was one.
And Kate was the other, using Joanna's passport to make herself a fake one.
There were 324 passengers on Oceanic 815.
Oceanic 815 deviated from it's flight path, turned around, and crashed on an island in the Pacific Ocean.
Oceanic 815 disappeared near a mysterious island not on any maps.
Investigators have no idea where to look.
There was an actress on board, Nikki Fernandez, from Expose.
A psychic, Richard Malkin, knew Oceanic 815 would crash. Theories suggest he was possibly working with Jacob, or was being forced by Ben Linus or Charles Widmore to get Claire to the island. Other theories at this link.
Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 (MH370)
Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8th, 2014.
The plane was a Boeing 777.
Two people traveling were using fake passports.
According to the manifest, there were 239 passengers.
MH370 deviated from it's flight path, turned around, and disappeared in/around/near the Pacific Ocean.
The plane disappeared near an island not visible on any maps.
Investigators have a large search area and no clear idea where to look.
There was an actor on board, Ju Kun, Jet Li's stunt double.
A Nigerian prophet - TB Joshua possibly predicted the disappearance of MH370.
Between the two flights, how do the numbers factor in to all this?
239 people missing on #MH370. 2x3x9=54. 54 is half of 108. The Lost #'s add up to 108. 4+8+15+16+23+42.
It's a stretch, but still something to include in this discussion.

6/1/13 - Blossom Music Center - Next Live Trax? 10 March 2014.
I was digging through DMB code and found this - a shirt with 6/1/13 (Cuyahoga Falls, OH - Blossom Music Center) on it. After checking with people who were at that show, this shirt was apparently not available at the show, which leads me to believe this will be our next Live Trax. 6/1/13 had a solid setlist, and I definitely wouldn't mind it being released. Usually once images are put into code on the server, an announcement comes shortly thereafter, so we'll see if this turns into anything.
Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax 4 - Record Store Day 2014.
I've known about this for a while, but it's not like we didn't see it coming. People are starting to report about it publicly so I guess I should talk about it too. Yes, it's official, Live Trax 4 is coming on Record Store Day in a 4 LP, 2,000 pressing release on colored vinyl. Not only that, but in the same vein as Music On Vinyl's Alice In Chains reissue, Live Trax 4 will contain an etching of the Firedancer logo on Side H. Granted, most people could probably care less about that, it's a novelty, and will probably look cool when you're spinning it, but hey, it's something cool. Remember, this art is concept art, we don't have the official art yet, or know what color the actual vinyl will be. Brown was the closest thing I could find to that tan banner on the album cover, but I've heard people suggest gold or clear, both of which would look much better than poo-brown. And as always, if you can't get your hand on one of these, the Warehouse will release a black vinyl edition later on. With 2,000 copies, I can't imagine this one will be too hard to get. When they pressed 1,000 each of LT2 and LT3, there weren't many people who couldn't get ahold of them.
If you're not familiar with LT4, 4/30/96 at the Classic Amphitheater in Henrico, VA was the first show of the Crash Tour, and the "Crash Release Show". It was also the first show with the band using the sound system they inherited from Grateful Dead, and the first show to introduce Multi Track Recording. From the Two Step opener to the four song encore, this is definitely going to be a strong release. The test pressings yielded a beautiful, clear sound, so we know the mastering is on point with what we've come to expect from the Archive Series Vinyl from DMB.
Hardee's/Carl's Jr - Charbroiled Atlantic Cod Fish Sandwich Review. 4 March 2014.
No doubt by now you've seen the ad for Hardee's new Cod Sandwich featuring Nina Agdal. Every year around this time, being Catholic, I switch to a diet of mostly fish. You can see it in Fast Food establishments around the Lent season, most places began primarily featuring fish sandwiches as specials and in commercials. Hardee's is no different.
But I get bored with the usual fried fish sandwich. McDonald's Filet O' Fish is usually on the bottom rung of the taste spectrum, and on the higher end would be Arby's fish sandwich. Until now. This fish sandwich is utterly delicious.
Granted, it looks nothing like the ad. This sandwich, as described by Hardee's, is "A Charbroiled Atlantic Cod Fillet, Tartar Sauce, Tomato and Lettuce served on a Honey Wheat Bun." And it tastes great. The grilled fish patty tastes leaps and bounds ahead of the usual bland fried fish patty, the honey wheat bun is also a standout, as well. The tangy tartar sauce blends well with the flavorful fish patty. I just wish they used a better quality lettuce, perhaps leaf lettuce, and cut the tomatoes a little thicker. That being said, this is definitely the best fast food fish sandwich around. I can definitely tell I'll be eating quite a few of these throughout the Lent season, and after if they keep it around.

Johnny Cash - New Johnny Cash Vinyl! 4 March 2014.
The day I've been waiting on is here, and Johnny Cash's work with Rick Rubin on American Recordings is finally being reissued on vinyl. All 6 of these have been remastered, and the process has been personally overseen by Rick Rubin. Each vinyl has been lovingly pressed on heavyweight vinyl. American I: American Recordings, American II: Unchained, American III: Solitary Man, American IV: The Man Comes Around, American V: A Hundred Highways, and American VI: Ain't No Grave are all now available, the best prices I've seen on these so far have been on Amazon.com and BullMoose.com.
The American Recordings series, in my opinion, has been some of Johnny Cash's best work since the Sun days. After having a difficult time finding his way in the new Nashville scene in the 80's, he was approached by Rick Rubin, who was known for heavy metal and rap music, and brought Cash back to his roots, and then took him in a new direction, but still staying true to who he was. American I-IV were released while Cash was alive, and gained sales, awards and recognition that he had not seen in quite some time. He recorded roughly 50 tracks before his death, many of which made it to American V-VI, the last two albums released after his death.
Also, very soon to be released is "Out Among The Stars". This album was recorded during the time I mentioned above, the 80's, when Johnny was finding trouble finding his spot in the new Nashville scene. Columbia records put Johnny with Billy Sherrill in an effort to help him find his way in the changing musical landscape. These sessions featured Marty Stuart, June Carter Cash and Waylon Jennings. They were never released and locked in the vault until John Carter Cash found them and prepped them for release. I can't wait to hear these, it's definitely a different side of Johnny Cash and I'm looking forward to hearing what it's all about.
My must buys for Record Store Day 2014. 1 March 2014.
Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax 4. (This is my own concept art I drafted up, this isn't official art). Though it hasn't been officially announced yet, we know it's coming. What we do know is that it will have a bigger number pressed this year, estimates put it closer to 2,000 this year. Hopefully this will stop the record flippers on eBay who buy this just to profit on it and allow it to get into the hands of fans, instead. Unsure of what the color will be, but as it usually goes with the color of the text bar on the cover, I'm guessing maybe tan. Hopefully the mastering will be close to the same as Live Trax 1-3 have already seen, as this is a great album. 4/30/96 at the Classic Amphitheater in Henrico, VA was the first show of the Crash Tour, and the "Crash Release Show". It was also the first show with the band using the sound system they inherited from Grateful Dead, and the first show to introduce Multi Track Recording. From the Two Step opener to the four song encore, this is definitely going to be a strong release.
BCR is getting pretty creative for Record Store Day 2014. Not only are they releasing an experimental, industrial album of early Shooter Jennings material featuring his father, Waylon Jennings ("Fenixon"), they're releasing something pretty out there that, I must admit, I have to own. "Understanding and Appreciating Classical Music with Ron Jeremy" is coming for 2014's Record Store Day and BCR describes it as, "I bet you didn't realize that actor Ron Jeremy, well known for his work in certain "underground" films, played the harmonica and was a classical trained pianist did you? This 7″ record finds Ron Jeremy sitting at the piano, discussing and performing classical music as well as mixing in his own sense of humor into the record. Laced with his own sense of blue humor, this is a journey into the mind of Ron Jeremy and into the history of classical music and it's influence on modern music. Printed on beautiful gold vinyl with packaging designed by Keith Neltner."
As I mentioned above, an experimental album with Waylon & Shooter Jennings called "Fenixon" is also coming for Record Store Day 2014. BCR describes it as, "Waylon Jennings has always been known for his disregard of mainstream pop music and fearlessness when it came to breaking new ground, but with "Fenixon" Waylon's body of work will receive a brand new facet! In 1995, Waylon and his then-sixteen-year-old-son Shooter Jennings constructed an album that blended the music and influences the father, and the modern musical tastes and influences of his son. Composed mostly by Shooter himself, "Fenixon" includes originals, as well as covers of some of the elder Jennings' catalog of music, and some unexpected covers as well! This was the only time the two collaborated together, and for the first time the album will be released in it's entirety on beautifully white vinyl, with beautiful packaging and illustrations by Keith Neltner. Listeners by warned: This is an Industrial type album and is not intended for older Waylon fans who may be expecting a country album. This is the most experimental Waylon ever got in his career and hopefully will who a side of his fearlessness previously left unturned. This is a BCR Los Angeles release." I listened to a lot of Waylon growing up, mainly because my dad was so into it, and I've always been a Shooter fan. This album just sounds like the right mix of uniqueness to make it one of my favorites of 2014.
Oasis, on the heels of re-releasing "Definitely Maybe", is also adding a RSD 2014 release, "Supersonic", a 12" single. The original 1994 UK Supersonic 12" single had the following tracklisting: Supersonic, Take Me Away and I Will Believe (Live). This is the art from that release, who knows if it'll change or what the final tracklisting will be. But this is something I'm definitely interested in owning.
The Dresden Dolls self titled release from 2003 (2004 when they signed to Roadrunner) has never been pressed to vinyl until now, and a release for RSD 2014 has been announced as well, which I'm quite excited about. Amanda Palmer is insanely talented, and this album was a great showcase of her early work.
For the 20th anniversary of "Far Beyond Driven", Pantera is re-releasing this on vinyl for Record Store Day. This is probably one of my favorite Pantera albums, and one I'm really looking forward to owning.
Bullmoose.com added this recently to their RSD 2014 list. They say, "Limited, numbered edition of 3,000 copies. RSD exclusive, pressed on blue vinyl. Johnny Cash's debut album and the first ever LP release from Sun Records." I'm a huge JC fan, so this is definitely on my must have list.
This isn't the actual artwork, just something I made up real quick. Bullmoose.com has added some info about this upcoming release that I'm quite excited about! "This limited edition compilation LP was curated from the classic Sun Records catalog by participating Record Store Day stores. It features songs from notable artists like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Howlin Wolf. As a Record Store Day 2014 exclusive, it's limited to 4,000 copies worldwide."

We're going to be having another of our Baked Potato Sundays on Sunday 17 November.
Bring a baking potato and your favourite topping to church that week. Drop your potato off at the kitchen before the service and these will be baked whilst we worship.
Then we can get together for a tasty lunch after the 10.45am service.
If you usually attend the 9.00am service, you'd be very welcome to go home and come back for lunch, or to hang out in the cafe whilst the 10.45am service is on. Or you might like to swap services this week to the later service.


This is the 6th part of my series Introduction to Gulp.js. The last article was very long and complicated. This time it's a easier one: I will show how I move my images and generate vector fonts.
The image task is a simple one again. All it does for now is copying the images to the asset directory. I will optimize my images later during the production build.
I use vector fonts for my website. Vector fonts are one option to include high quality icons on a website. Another option is using SVG directly or to use high resolution images.
I use Font Custom to generate my vector fonts. There is a gulp plugin for this, but I couldn't get it running. But I'm totally fine with running this task with a shell command (via Gulp.js). I will use Gulp.js later to watch the folder containing the SVG files and recreate the vector fonts if needed.
#   `fontcustom help` or visiting <http://fontcustom.com>.
#   hashes or file types / names.
#   referenced by their base file name.
As you may have seen, before copying the fonts to the asset folder another task gets executed: fontcustom.
Font Custom checks the files for changes and doesn't generate anything if the files are still the same.
After you add the line for fontcustom you will need to run bundle install again.
This concludes the 6th part of my series Introduction to Gulp.js. We learned how to move files with Gulp.js (and don't even need a plugin for that), and how I create my vector fonts. Nothing special, but the next part will be more interesting again.

The Climate Conscious Gardener »
Public gardens are leading the way to greener parking lots—parking gardens—with plantings that absorb rain and prevent runoff and solar arrays that produce energy while providing shade.
Here's my "Growing Greener" column on three of these state-of-the-art parking gardens, which appears in the latest issue of Public Garden, the flagship publication of the American Public Gardens Association. In my "Growing Greener" columns I answer sustainability-related questions from public garden staff.
Q: What are some things to consider when planning a green parking lot?
A: America's car culture has given rise to several soul-killing types of architecture, perhaps none as notorious as the parking lot. Typically barren expanses of asphalt, parking lots have become symbols of social disorder, often portrayed in contemporary art and film as settings for crime and violence. The extensive paved and impervious surfaces exacerbate the urban heat island effect, and since virtually all of the rain that falls on them becomes runoff, they are one of the most significant sources of urban water pollution. In short, a conventional parking lot is not the kind of place that makes a good first impression on garden visitors.
Not surprisingly, a growing number of public gardens have been taking a hard look at their parking lots. Just last year, for example, Missouri Botanical Garden announced the completion of sustainable renovations to its east visitor parking lot, while Queens Botanical Garden opened a new, four-acre, green parking garden. In January, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden made headlines when it announced visitors would soon be greeted by the largest publicly accessible, urban solar photovoltaic array in the country—a 1.56 megawatt system installed on a canopy structure over its Vine Street parking lot that not only will provide shade for nearly 800 of the 1,000 spots but also generate some 20 percent of the institution's energy needs.
"From the beginning," says Susan Lacerte, Executive Director of Queens Botanical Garden, "our main concept was that we wanted our visitors to arrive in a garden." QBG's "parking garden," like Missouri's "eco-lot," features bioswales planted with native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers along with various types of porous paving to absorb stormwater runoff. "Stormwater and shading strategies that use plants are a natural fit for public gardens," says Kara Roggenkamp of MTR Landscape Architects, which designed Missouri Botanical Garden's renovated parking lot. With beautiful plantings and pavers instead of solid asphalt, a parking lot can offer improved environmental performance while meeting a garden's high aesthetic standards.
Strategies for absorbing and cleansing stormwater and providing shade for visitor comfort and to help reduce the heat island effect are major considerations, but they aren't the only ones. Other things gardens looking to green their parking lots should consider are size, materials, and interpretation.
More than one observer has called "green parking lot" a contradiction in terms. Way up on the list of a parking lot's environmental impacts is the fact that it invites people to drive. It also takes up valuable space. For these and other reasons, it makes sense for gardens to offer incentives for biking or taking public transit, and to make sure their parking lots are as small as possible. Forward-thinking planners offer not only ample space for parking bikes but also plug-ins for electric vehicles. Among the U.S. EPA's best management practices for green parking are providing spaces specifically for compact vehicles and minimizing the dimensions of the remaining parking spaces; while large sport utility vehicles are often cited as barriers to downsizing stalls, the agency maintains that most local parking codes require stall widths wider than the widest SUVs. And instead of building for peak parking needs, gardens can look for opportunities to share parking with an office or other organization that doesn't take full advantage of its parking facilities on evenings or weekends.
Materials, as Roggenkamp points out, are a sustainability issue with any new construction. She suggests that gardens recycle demolition materials and use recycled and/or locally sourced materials as much as possible. In Missouri Botanical Garden's renovated parking lot, the asphalt paving includes 15 percent recycled content and sits on a base of crushed recycled concrete.
Light fixtures in Queens' parking garden are designed to so-called dark sky standards to reduce light pollution that can harm plants and wildlife, and they are powered by photovoltaic panels. Using parking lots to generate substantial amounts of energy, as is being done in Cincinnati, is another way to make the most of formerly unproductive space. Some parking lot experts predict that entire "forests" of "solar trees"—photovoltaic arrays that maximize energy production by tracking the sun like plants—will soon be sprouting in parking lots.
How much does green parking cost? That depends on the circumstances and technologies utilized. QBG estimates its parking garden cost about $11 per square foot.
Public gardens are educational institutions, and green parking lots are great teaching opportunities as well as transportation amenities. The new facilities at Missouri and Queens include interpretive signs that explain the environmental strategies employed, and how visitors can use them at home. Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's solar canopy will include an educational kiosk that allows visitors to learn about the array's performance and the benefits of solar energy in general. Roggenkamp notes that gardens even have an opportunity to help advance best practices by, for example, testing tree-planting techniques such as increased soil volume under pavement.
"Our parking garden is already a teaching garden," says QBG's Susan Lacerte. "The public loves it." "It's beautiful when it rains," she says, "and the stormwater management works great." Her advice to other gardens: "Do it!"

José María Eguren Rodríguez (July 7, 1874, Lima – April 19, 1942, Lima) was a Peruvian writer. Although principally known for his poetry, Eguren was also a journalist, painter, photographer and even an inventor.

Very much a post-modernist writer, notable works include Simbólicas (1911) and La canción de las figuras (1916).

Biography
Eguren was born in Lima on July 7, 1874. His parents were Eulalia Rodríguez Hercelles and José María Eguren y Cáceda, who had him baptized on the same day of his birth in the San Sebastián parish. Due to health problems, he was weak and sickly since he was little. As a kid and teenager, he would spend much of his time out in the fields, such as the ranches of Chuquitanta and Pro, which his father managed, and where his family fled to in order to escape the wreckage caused by the War of the Pacific, and above all, the Occupation of Lima. It is possible that these experiences provided him with a closeness to nature that refined his senses, which was later reflected in his poetry. In his youth, Eguren belatedly began to attend school, starting his studies in 1884 at the age of ten in the Colegio de la Inmaculada run by Jesuits, and then in the Scientific Institute of Lima. A while later, he abandoned his conventional studies and instead took to teaching himself, with the help of his older brother and mentor Jorge.

In 1897, after the death of both his parents and the splitting up of his family, he moved to the district of Barranco with his older sisters Susan and Angelica (who remained single for the rest of their lives), with whom he would continue to live for the rest of his life. Barranco was a serene seaside town close to Lima, and Eguren resided there in peace and tranquility for more than thirty years, where his friends and apprentices such as fellow poets Martín Adán and Emilio Adolfo Westphalen would come to visit.

For persisting health reasons, Eguren compensated for his lack of formal education by reading extensively, at first, the works of romantic and modernist writers and poets like Julio Herrera y Reissig, and later on, the works of European decadent and symbolist poets, primarily French ones, like Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarmé, but also D'Annunzio and Edgar Allan Poe. He also read children's literature (Brothers Grimm, Andersen), and works from the masters of Preraphaelism and English Aestheticism (Ruskin, Rossetti, Wilde). Each of these writers left some sort of impression on Eguren, but a well-absorbed and very personal one nonetheless, that influenced his creativity and aesthetic beliefs.

Features of symbolism
José María Eguren is a great representative of symbolism in Peru.
Musicality: The words are worth more for their noise level, which by its semantic content.
The suggestion: The word must denote not only connote.
The exoticism.
The adoption of free verse.
The poetic symbol.

Lego 71044 – Disney Train and Station
Earlier this year I did a post wondering what happened to the Lego/Disney relationship that seemed so fruitful just three years prior. It was a post born out of some frustration, but mostly just disappointment. Following the release of an entire line of minifigures devoted to the Disney brand as well as the massive Cinderella's Castle from Disney World, it seemed like we were primed for more minifigures and more sets based on theme park attractions and icons. A set featuring Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle felt inevitable and my mind was racing to conjure up mental images of what other popular attractions might work and make sense in Lego form.
Nothing happened though. Disney still had a presence with Lego, but it was all themed sets based on the latest movie hitting theaters. This surprised me because that initial wave of figures seemed to sell out quickly around me. I had to hunt them down and eventually wound up paying almost twice the MSRP at a specialty shop with hideous mark-ups on everything. The castle set seemed to do well since Lego has kept up with production on it and I've never seen it discounted (it's possible Disney has an agreement with Lego that prevents it from going on clearance) leading me to believe it's a solid seller. If the cast members who work the crystal shop in Epcot can be trusted, they usually sell one of those $37K crystal depictions of the castle per day so Lego selling a bunch of $300 castles seems plausible.
Of course, my post either had good timing or poor as not long after a bunch of news broke. A new wave of figures, a Mickey-themed set based on Steamboat Willie, and finally the big one, a set based on Disneyland's railroad and station. I was able to secure a set of minifigures after hunting around my area while the Steamboat Willie set was a simple purchase at a local Lego Store. The Disneyland railroad had to wait a bit as it came with a rather steep cost. The MSRP on the set came in at a tick under $330 not including tax. With less than 3,000 pieces and only five minifigures, this felt like a pretty significant mark-up. For comparison, Cinderella's Castle had the same amount of figures, but over 4,000 pieces for a more reasonable $350. Disney always equates to significant mark-up when it comes to licensed merchandise, but this was more than I expected. The actual building is fairly small and not nearly as eye-catching as the castle. This felt more like a $250 set as a result, and I had a hard time convincing myself to foot the bill for it.
Maybe I wasn't alone, as Black Friday arrived and with it came discounted Lego sets. To my surprise, this set was one of the ones to get marked down. It was roughly $100 off for a weekend and that was enough to get me to jump on it, along with many other shoppers. The set even sold out while I was trying to check-out online, but Lego accepted backorders with a guarantee to deliver before Christmas. This made this a suitable joint gift for myself and my wife, essentially our gift to each other, this year.
For starters, it should be pointed out that the set likely retailed for more than expected partly due to the tech baked in. This set is part of Lego's app-enabled products. The Powered-Up Motor is Lego's latest inclusion for making sets go. It requires you download an app and use a tablet or phone to control the train. It has sound effects as well and if you're against pushing the train then you have this as well to make it go. It's pretty neat, and if I didn't already have a Disney World Monorail set to ring my Christmas tree I'd probably consider using this. It does add more of a toy quality to the set as well, which may be a bad thing if you're like me and have small kids at home that want to play with your expensive Lego sets.
Like the castle, this one comes with five minifigures. And like the castle, most are essentially re-releases of prior figures. Minnie Mouse is the least interesting as she appears here in her red polka-dotted dress once again with the only difference being she's traded the hard plastic skirt piece for a fabric one (to make it easier to position her in a seated position for riding the train). Three of the other figures just re-use existing head sculpts. You have Mickey as an engineer in blue overalls with a red bandana around his neck. He looks good, but where's his hat? Engineer Mickey at the park is always sporting a hat and it would have been simple to just reuse the Steamboat Willie hat with a new paint scheme, but Lego opted not to do so apparently. Chip and Dale are here as conductors and they have new bodies as well. It's a classy addition, but like Mickey they have no hats. At least with these two it's more understandable as a hat is probably trickier to sculpt and add to them whereas Mickey had already been released to fit a hat. The fifth figure is the only all new one, but it's a much welcomed one. Goofy finally gets to make his proper Lego debut and he's in his contemporary orange shirt with blue pants. He looks great and since we had yet to receive a Goofy I am glad he's not in train-attire. He probably should have been released as part of the minifigure wave as it kind of stinks he's trapped in this set (for now), but I'm glad he's here. Now we just need a Pluto to finish off the Fab 5.
All right, let's talk about the main event now. The train station presented here is just referred to as the Disney Train and Station by Lego, but it's a replica of the station at Disneyland. As basically the first thing one sees when entering that park, it's one of the most iconic Disney-related visuals that exists in the real world. And since we already received a Disney World set, this makes quite a bit of sense to be the next release. I initially expected Sleeping Beauty Castle, but since that is so much smaller than Cinderella's Castle it might not have felt as iconic when compared with that set. This one invites fewer comparisons to Disney World. Yes, Disney World's Magic Kingdom has a train station as well, but it's just a slightly different design that's neither better or worse than what Disneyland has. It's a bit bigger, but the main difference is the clock tower portion is centered whereas this one is off-center and placed on the right if you're facing it from the front. I suppose fans hopeful that Cinderella's Castle meant that one day a Disney World in Lego would be achievable are disappointed, but I don't mind inter-mingling Disney World and Disneyland sets in my display.
Like the castle, the station is essentially a façade with an open back. Lego could have set it up on a hinge, but it opted not to. It's fine and actually makes it easier to place on a shelf or something. I suppose if you have this on a large surface with the track going around the station it might bug you that it doesn't have a back, but if it did you wouldn't be able to see the lovely interior. Since the building itself isn't particularly large, there isn't nearly as much "fun" inside as there was with the castle, but what's there looks nice. There's a ticket counter with a bench in the main section and a luggage scale tucked away as well. There's a pair of scaled-down replicas of the locomotive and a little lounge on the second floor. The clock tower is the only area on what is basically the third floor. An architect might complain there's no way for the characters to physically move from floor to floor, but I like that they didn't cram stairs into this thing. The windows in the hall look nice and I like the red curtains. Having never been inside the actual station, I can't really attest to the authenticity, but this looks fine. The only thing missing is a bunch of fun easter eggs referencing past Disney films and cartoons like the castle possessed. There's a cute replica of the Lego Cinderella's Castle and box for the third floor and a pink umbrella that might be a reference to Mary Poppins, but otherwise I didn't notice anything obvious.
The locomotive itself is a replica of the CK Holiday from Disneyland, which itself was based on a replica train Walt Disney owned and drove around his backyard. As the first train constructed for Disneyland, it was an obvious choice. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain the CK Holiday branding and instead opts for a generic Disney Train. I don't know why Lego seemed resistant to affirm that this is based off of Disneyland's train and station, but it's not a huge deal. The second car is basically just a housing for the motor, while the third car is for park guests and the fourth is the caboose, once again, modeled after the actual train. The passenger car has a nice design where the top flips open for easy access while the caboose has a more luxurious interior. You can fit a lot of minifigures on this thing and I can see some people stocking it with custom minifigures that look like park patrons. Or you could simply just cram it full of some of the previously released Disney figures, especially the ones that are solid stand-ins for Disney cast members in costume.
The build for the train was pretty painless, though the locomotive presents some minor challenge. It's more that the locomotive is fairly fragile once completed. To make sure it bends on the tracks it has a lot of floating parts such as the rear of the engine. There's a little piece too underneath the cabin that has a tendency to pop off when handling it which did become annoying. The interior also doesn't feature any details at all, which surprised me. My guess is the quarters are already tight and there just wasn't enough room to work with. I think they could have slipped in a few handles or something, but oh well. The top flips up to make it easy to place Mickey or another figure inside and the windows make it easy to see who's driving.
Past the engine is the coal cart, which also houses the power motor. It's by far the simplest and quickest build and it does its job. The passenger car is an interesting build as well since it has a very open design. It's a quick build as well and it's fairly sturdy which is necessary since you'll be inserting many figures into this car. The caboose is the longest build, but it's also pretty simple. It has a closed design with one side being removable to insert characters. The only thing holding that side on is essentially two bricks, one on each end of the marquee, making it both easily accessible and hidden. I do enjoy the interior of this car, which creates a dilemma as I'm torn on how to display this one. Any figure you place in here with the panel in place probably won't be readily visible to anyone looking at the train. At this point, I have so many Mickey and Minnie figures though so maybe I'll just stash some in there for display.
Easily, the largest shortcoming for the train in both the build and display is related to stickers. I hate stickers, and this set is loaded with them. The train in particular has a lot of small stickers that are challenging to place. The caboose, for instance, has the Disney Railroad label broken up across three stickers which is practically torture. It should be a rule for Lego that any set over $250, especially one like this aiming to be more of a display piece than toy, opt for as many printed pieces as possible, but evidently Lego disagrees.
The set comes with enough track to make an oval of modest length. It's essentially large enough to comfortably go around the station, but if you want to ring a Christmas tree or something you'll need to buy more. Getting the train lined up is a little tricky, but not frustrating for an adult. Connecting the device to the app (I did via an iPhone) is also really simple and I had zero issues there. The train moves at a nice clip and I did not have any derailments. It can go forward and in reverse and there's some sound effects as well. I don't know if this is necessarily an improvement over the old setup, but it does work as intended. My only fear would be in a decade will this app still function? Lego does sell remotes, though that will obviously set you back further.
The build for the station is the longest part of the set and composes it's own much thicker book. It's a methodical build, and while some may resent the redundancy of constructing a brick building, I tend to find my Zen in these things. The instructions break up the construction of the outer walls reasonably well by mixing in other tasks before returning to it. By far, the most interesting part of the finished product is the metalwork on the roof. To simulate wrought iron, Lego went with black handcuffs. Admittedly, it looks a bit odd during the build since it's hard to ignore the fact that the pieces are handcuffs, but once complete it looks pretty nice. I've seen other reviewers praise this creativity and probably an equal amount criticize it. Lego could have created a unique piece to do the job, but this does work so I can't really fault the company for going in this direction.
I hate these stickers.
Like the train, the station contains numerous stickers. In general, they aren't as bad as the train since many are just for signs on the wall, but they're still frustrating in places. In particular, the carpet on the second floor is comprised of three pieces and three stickers. The only way to not have gaps in the carpet is to lay the pieces and then place the stickers over them ignoring where the actual pieces begin and end. The instructions would have you do the opposite, but this gives you brown gaps in the image which looks stupid. From an aesthetic standpoint, that one part is my biggest peeve with the set.
The rest of the interior is plenty fun to both build and look at. In particular are the little model trains which consist of a clever build on their own. They don't really resemble a train until completed which leads to a "Eureka!" moment. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot to do with the figures once done. You can cram one behind the counter and there's a bench and chair, but that's about it. Both seats also lack pegs so the characters just rest on them and will flail around if you move the set. The finished station also surprised me with its size. While it is certainly small compared to the castle, it stands just over a foot in height when done. Add those flagpoles and the set ends up reaching roughly 16″. This has created some challenge for me as the places in my home I had earmarked for this thing have proven too small. Right now it's on a hutch, but I think I may end up making some shelves and displaying it that way.
Ultimately, I think this is a set that will please Disney fans who purchase it. My initial criticism of the price of the set still stands and had I purchased this at that MSRP I probably would be less enthused by it. As a $230 set, it's far more palatable. It's more of a display piece than toy as the station doesn't do much or present many opportunities for play. It looks the part though and will bring as much class to your display as any Lego can. The train though is about as fun as any other toy train. My kids ask to play with it and I oblige despite the anxiety that creates. If I didn't already have a toy monorail to ring my Christmas tree I'd probably be in the market for more track to do the same with this.
Mickey pondering if we may see a Disney World version someday.
This set also naturally lends me to wonder what's next for Lego and Disney. Considering all of the time that elapsed between the castle and this set, I am certainly not holding my breath or even crafting any expectations on what's to come. The existence of this probably makes some hope for a Disney World version, but I don't see Lego double-dipping on trains, but it probably would be cost-effective for the company so never say never. I do wonder if Lego has any appetite for a monorail set, but that doesn't have an obvious companion like the train station to go with it as the monorail platforms are fairly boring, aside from the ones attached to hotels. Does Lego want to create a replica of Disney's Contemporary Resort? Probably not. I'll continue to hold out hope for fun, attraction-based, sets. My ultimate dream would be Spaceship Earth, but numerous others would be fun as well. If this is it though, that won't leave me too defeated. Just at least give me a Pluto, Lego! He's such a good boy and sorely missed.

Q: Add matrices with different labels and different dimensions I have two large square matrices ( in two CSV files). The two matrices may have a few different labels and different dimensions.
I want to add these two matrices and retain all labels. How do I do this in python?
Example:
{a, b, c ... e} are labels.
        a   b   c   d               a   e
    a   1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5         a   9.1 9.2
X=  b   2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4     Y=  e   8.1 8.2
    c   3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6
    d   4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5

            a       b       c       d       e
        a   1.2+9.1 1.3     1.4     1.5     9.2
X+Y=    b   2.1     2.2     2.3     2.4     0
        c   3.3     3.4     3.5     3.6     0
        d   4.2     4.3     4.4     4.5     0
        e   8.1     0       0       0       8.2

If someone wants to see the files (matrices), they are here.
** Trying the method suggested by @piRSquared
import pandas as pd
X= pd.read_csv('30203_Transpose.csv')
Y= pd.read_csv('62599_1999psCSV.csv')

Z= X.add(Y, fill_value=0).fillna(0)

print Z

Z -> 467 rows x 661 columns
The resulting matrix should be square too.
This approach also causes the row headers to be lost ( now become 1,2,3 .. , They should be 10010, 10071, 10107, 1013 ..)
    10010   10071   10107   1013 ....
0   0   0   0.01705 0.0439666659
1   0   0   0   0
2   0   0   0   0.0382000022
3   0.0663666651    0   0   0.0491333343
4   0   0   0   0
5   0.0208000001    0   0   0.1275333315
.
.

What should I be doing?

A: use the add method with the parameter fill_value=0
X.add(Y, fill_value=0).fillna(0)


Due to popular demand this month I am returning with a quiz. I'm sure like last time some of the questions will know straight away, with others taking a little more time to work out – and even have you go searching for the answer. Each day in October a new question will be displayed below. If you manage to answer a question correctly you will receive 2 entries into the draw. If you get the question wrong you will receive 1 entry (just for giving it a try). All entries will be pooled at the end of the month and one winner drawn at random.
The competition started on 1st October 2017 and runs until the end of the month. The last question will be shown on 31st October 2017, with the winner being announced here on 1st November 2017. The winner will then have 24 hours to claim their £10 cash prize, so be sure to check back.
I'm absolutely delighted to be the winner – Such a lovely surprise. Many thanks!
Is today's not due to halloween gremlins but to clock gremlins?
Hi Wendy/Cheryl. They certainly are. I can confirm though that they have since been resolved. Good Luck, Daniel.
I knew you would, just there is no reason for people to go on about it.
Good luck and lets hope the gremlins have gone for good.
Hi Ruskin Apologies again. I can confirm though that the issue has since been resolved. Good Luck, Daniel.
Hi Jane. Apologies again. The question is supposed to update automatically at 11am but for some reason it didn't. The issue is being looked into but I can confirm that the question has since been updated. Good Luck, Daniel.
I felt ashamed that I knew the answer to today's Corrie question lol!!!! I am enjoying the comp though thank you!
Oooh groundhog day 😉 Hope I remember to check back later.
Yes, this is yesterdays question, must be a glitch.
Yes, no doubt a new one will be on soon.
No, you get one entry per answer submitted, plus one entry for each correct answer, ie. a maximum of sixty-two entries for this competition.
Umm…Kleptomanium? That'll walk off with anything that's not tied down!
I submitted my answer but unfortunately predictive text stuck a 2 on the end of my answer. am I able to resubmit?
Hi Heather10, Sorry, only the first answer for each day is registered. Good Luck, Daniel.
Think I need some new glasses! I counted the number of SUNdays on the calendar instead of Mondays! I even counted twice because I'd expected the answer to be 5. What an idiot!
Sorry I have to disagree with you, there are 6 vowels in the word 'advantageous'. If the question was 'how many different vowels are in the word advantageous' I could see how it would be 4.
If the question was 'how many letters in the word advantageous' would you have said 12 or 10?
I agree. I hedged my bets by saying a total of 6 but only 4 different ones.
Is today's question including or excluding jokers?
Hi David. Just a standard deck of cards – no jokers, although I will accept either as the correct answer.
Two possible answers today, I just know that whichever I go for will be the wrong one!
Confused as to how there are 2 possible answers! Hope I've got it right now.
Agree, I've gone with the obvious.
Love these quizzes…worth putting a short reminder of the questions before the answer though? (E.g. "pink and white", "usa flag", "power twins", etc). Dunno if thats changed cos having the whole question there made it too long or not.
As long as the site is on my favourites I go through them but its been a taxing week so forgetting what I have done lol. How about setting a phone alarm reminder?
I never rely on email reminders, have a list of the lottery sites on my favourites whereby the first one is my homepage. Almost impossible to forget!
According to Google 'voice of Europe' is a news page.
Haha, I remember Europe. "We're heading for Venus, maybe they've seen us". Eat your heart out Bob Dylan!
I hadn't thought of that, I've obviously led a sheltered life! I'm going to go and google JT now, see if the years have been kind.
Something spooky going on due to the 31st being Halloween? Either that or you caught us in the middle of editing. 🙂 Daniel.

The Madonna with the Blue Diadem is a painting by Raphael and his pupil Gianfrancesco Penni, and was most likely painted in Rome around 1510-1512, now at the Louvre. In the Louvre, the painting is named Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John, also known as Virgin with the Veil or Virgin with the Blue Diadem. Additional names include Virgin with the Linen,  Slumbering Child and Silence of the Holy Virgin.

History
Legend has it that at one time the panel, split in two, was used to cover casks in Pescia. Once found, they are said to have been expertly joined.  There is also a different version where the panel was split into three pieces to make a screen, which was made whole again.

By the later part of the 16th century, it had been in the Chateauneuf Collection, Paris and descended to his heir, the Marquis de la Vallière.
In 1620 the painting was owned by the Marquis de la Vallière, Secretary of State, as part of the La Vallière Collection in Paris. In 1713, Prince Louis Alexandre de Bourbon, Comte de Toulouse, owned the painting and from him it passed in 1728 into the collection of the Prince de Carignan.

From at least 1728 to 1743 it was in the possession of Victor Amadeus I, Prince of Carignan.  After he died, the painting fell to his son Louis de Carignan and painter Rigauld mediated the sale in 1742 dispersed to Louis XV in 1743.

The last Raphael painting to enter the French Royal Collection, it was acquired  from the Prince of Carignan in 1742 dispersed to Louis XV in 1743.

Description
Although there are several artists involved, the composition is almost certainly that of Raphael. Due to the use of bright, acid colors and the porcelain-like finish, it is thought that the finishing of the composition may have been the work of one of his pupils, Giovanfrancesco Penni, and to be dated around 1518.

The painting is similar to the Madonna of Loreto (Musée Condé, Chantilly), featuring the symbolic lifting of the veil. The use of veil in Renaissance paintings, from the Meditations on the Life of Christ,  symbolizes the manner in which the Madonna wrapped the Child in the veil from her head at the Nativity and, prophetically, again at the Crucifixion.

Here the Virgin lifts the veil over the sleeping Child, who is turned toward the audience, with her other arm around the young John the Baptist, who has a reed across his shoulder.  Both the Virgin and John are in profile.  Attached to a blue diadem, a veil that flows down her head, across her shoulders and clings to her arms. A draped tunic, belted at the waist, flowing overtop her red underdress.

While the paintings has some similarity to the Madonna of Loreto, Raphael make a more dramatic statement, such as through the use of ruins of the Sacchetti Villa and vineyard, near the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

There is also refinement in the features and limbs of the Christ child.  The child is very calm, contrasted to the expression of awe and adoration by the young John.

Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency - How is Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency abbreviated?
14 In healthy adults residing in urban Tehran prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency was about 80%.
With the recognition of widespread vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in children and adults, there is no need to measure everybody's blood 25(OH)D.
There are, however, patients who should be screened for vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and monitored for their 25(OH)D concentration while being treated with vitamin D.
1 The occurrence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is high not only in countries where exposure to UV rays is less but as well in countries abutting to the equator because of their traditional and religious clothing habits and life style.
17 A large population based study on Iranian adult healthy subjects revealed vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in 79% of the participants.
