Getting your holiday pay sums right
Monday 1st July, 2019
Summer holidays are around the corner. The law says that when someone is on annual leave, they must be paid their normal pay. The question is, what is "normal" holiday pay?
For someone who is paid a basic salary only, it's easy. Just pay them as you would usually. However, if someone's pay packet includes regular extras, you may need to pay more than you realise.
Regular payments
If your employees regularly earn commission, overtime or other payments while they are working, be careful. Such payments can be considered as "normal pay".
Let's say your employee, Sam, is contracted to work eight hours a day. In reality, he works an hour's paid overtime most days. When he is on holiday, he can't work that overtime. That means he will receive less pay than usual. Similarly, if his daily work involves selling products for which he gets commission, he won't be able to earn commission while he is off. His holiday pay would not be the same as his "normal pay".
How to calculate holiday pay
Let's say Sam earns a basic salary plus commission. In the last year, he has earned £3,000 in commission. He has two weeks' holiday. How do you calculate his holiday pay?
If his commission is earned by selling goods most days, it will count as "normal pay". You must therefore include it in his holiday pay. To do this, calculate his average daily commission in the 12 working weeks before he took holiday. As of April 2020, you will need to take the average over the previous year.
Alternatively, if Sam earned £1,800 commission in January and £1,200 in September, his commission earnings are irregular. They would not be considered part of his "normal pay". He would simply be paid his salary.
A few final points
Just to complicate things further, this only applies to 20 days of the minimum 28 days per annum annual leave. This is due to the UK having a more generous minimum holiday entitlement than the EU law demands.
If you fail to pay any additional regular earnings as holiday pay, the costs could be significant. Potentially, the claim could be backdated by up to two years.

"I recently found myself in a difficult situation with my employer and contacted Debbie through recommendation from a friend. Debbie provided me with support and advice at every stage of the process and she made a very unpleasant and stressful time, bearable. It was a huge relief to receive advice from someone who is very competent and knowledgeable in employment law. I would highly recommend Parallel HR and if the need arose in future, I would not hesitate to contact Debbie again for advice. "

A Bench or a Table – used for both, designed by Finn Juhl for BOVIRKE in 1953, as part of a series of furniture with a simple steel frame in burnished steel. The Bench is in the design family with furniture such as the Nyhavn Table and FJ Sideboard.
Finn Juhl had an international breakthrough in the USA in the early 1950s and achieved great fame; especially for his design of the United Nations Trusteeship Council Chamber in New York, but also for his furniture and exhibitions. The Bench was part of the large travelling exhibition in North America "Design in Scandinavia", which came to 22 cities from 1954 to 1957 with a total of approximately 650,000 visitors. As a result of this and because of its light, elegant and timeless design, the Bench has always been a popular piece of furniture that has achieved extremely high prices at auctions around the world.
The Bench is relaunched in three lengths: 112, 170 and 225 cm; and in walnut, teak, oak and Oregon pine with hand-burnished steel frame with wooden toes. The Bench comes with edges in matt polished brass. Furthermore, the Bench is available with a cushion.

Half Of D.C.'s Buildings Could Require Upgrades Under New Climate Law
Washington, D.C. Sustainability View count:
Washington, D.C. Sustainability
January 14, 2019 Jon Banister, Bisnow Deputy East Coast Editor
Owners of hundreds of buildings across D.C. will soon be required to make investments to improve their energy performance under a sweeping new law.
Carol M. Highsmith via Wikimedia Commons
An aerial view of D.C.'s Central Business District and East End.
The D.C. Council passed a bill Dec. 18 aimed at addressing climate change by reducing the city's greenhouse gas emissions that has been lauded as "historic," "groundbreaking" and the "strongest climate legislation" in the nation. The bill, which Mayor Muriel Bowser plans to sign into law Friday, calls for cutting D.C.'s greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2032.
With a majority of D.C.'s emissions coming from buildings, the bill puts heavy responsibility on property owners to improve their sustainability in the coming years. HOK Director of Sustainability Anica Landreneau, who serves on the D.C. Green Building Advisory Council, estimates about 50% of D.C.'s buildings will need to improve their energy performance.
The exact threshold for which buildings will be affected has yet to be determined. The bill gives the D.C. Department of Energy & Environment until 2021 to establish a standard Energy Star score that buildings must meet, and it requires that standard to be at least at the level of D.C.'s current median score.
Once the standard is established, buildings above 50K SF will have five years to make improvements or pay a fine. That net will gradually widen to all buildings above 10K SF by 2026.
"I view the new standard as a great opportunity to continue to engage our building teams to set new goals and further our current energy management program," said Tower Cos. Vice President of Strategy and Sustainability Eugenia Gregorio, who also serves on the D.C. Green Building Advisory Council. "It also encourages us and others in the industry to stay on top of new trends and innovations."
The new law will establish a task force of commercial real estate industry representatives to help with the implementation, which Gregorio said was critical in making sure the regulations work for the industry.
"It's really important, because it will ensure the implementation details are reasonable, that the requirements are achievable and that the overall program adds value to building owners," Gregorio said. "The goal of this is to be a win-win for everyone. I think it can be with that kind of collaboration."

Residential, institutional and commercial buildings contribute 74% of D.C.'s gas emissions
Globally, about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings, Landreneau said. But since D.C. has a relatively small industrial sector and a public transportation system that reduces vehicular travel, 74% of the District's emissions come from its buildings.
"That's our biggest chunk of opportunity for improvement, and we only turn over less than 3% of that per year in terms of new construction, so you have to address existing building stock if you're going to chip away at that 74% that comes from buildings," Landreneau said.
The buildings will not be required to reach the standard within the five-year window, but the bill forces them to either complete a pre-selected checklist of improvements or choose their own upgrades to improve their energy score by 20%. Building owners who do not pursue either path will be forced to pay a fine.
Owners needing to make upgrades will be able to utilize multiple financing methods, including low-interest PACE bonds and the D.C. Green Bank, a new fund D.C. established prior to the bill's passage that allows owners to borrow money for building upgrades and pay it back out of their future energy savings. The fines for noncompliant buildings will also help support the Green Bank.
"It's not free money, but the idea is you can borrow money and pay for it out of energy savings so it would be revenue neutral to a point and revenue positive after you've paid it back," Landreneau said.
The types of improvements owners will make could range from replacing windows and insulation to overhauling the HVAC system to a complete re-skinning of a building's exterior. Gregorio said there are several no-cost and low-cost improvements owners can make, such as performing a night audit to ensure a building is not wasting energy in the overnight hours.
Beyond the low-cost upgrades, Gregorio said most improvements that require significant investment would be paid back in energy savings within five years. Tower Cos. has long focused on sustainability and has reduced its overall energy consumption by 25% since 2010, Gregorio said, but it still may have to make some improvements to older buildings. Some real estate owners who haven't actively pursued sustainability goals may have more work to do.
"There are other building owners who, if they don't have a long-term perspective, they might have a different view than we do, but I think these short-to-medium payback periods make a lot of sense; they reduce operating costs and help attract and retain tenants," Gregorio said. "You shouldn't look at the initial upfront cost by itself. You have to look at the longer-term life cycle view."

Jerry Schwartz was born Memorial Day, May 30, 1934 in Brooklyn, N.Y. and he attended Thomas Jefferson High School graduating June 1952. Straight out of high school, Jerry attended the Academy of Aeronautics in Queens, New York, but on Sept. 20, 1953, Jerry received his very own Uncle Sam "Greeting Letter" inviting him to join the US Army. Jerry and eleven of his buddies who also received their draft notices went to Fort Dix, New Jersey, for basic training. Jerry has never forgotten how miserable he and his buddies were during his coldest winter ever when his unit bivouacked on the plains at Fort Dix. Jerry's interest in mechanics led him to extend his service by one year to attend helicopter school at Fort Eustis, Virginia. During the Korean War, the use of helicopters rapidly became a vital element of our military's arsenal of weaponry and for medical evacuations. Following Jerry's 30 week helicopter training, he went to Fort Lewis, Washington, and on to Inchon, South Korea in May 1955 serving in the 13th Helicopter Company; the only US Army helicopter unit in South Korea at that time. Although the first extensive use of helicopters in combat was handicapped by the limited capabilities of the early aircraft, the choppers were widely hailed as tools that would be vital in future conflicts. On the basis of his experiences in Korea, Eighth Army commander Lt. Gen. Maxwell Taylor said: "The cargo helicopter, employed in mass, can extend the tactical mobility of the Army far beyond its normal capability." Clearly, the Huey Helicopter later became synonymous with the Vietnam War. Jerry served as a crew member on an H-19 Sikorsky Helicopter and his fondest memory was transporting members of Bob Hope's USO Show throughout South Korea to entertain our troops. However, his saddest memory occurred on Feb. 22, 1957 when a C-124 Globemaster cargo plane, with 149 soldiers and a 10-man Air Force crew aboard, crashed on a mud bar in the Han River, which was choked with floating ice. The aircraft's No. 3 engine lost a blade just after wheels were raised and a blade penetrated the fuselage, severing both aileron and rudder cables and killing four passengers. Its top passenger deck collapsed on impact, crushing some passengers and injuring others. The Han River's rising tide required survivors to cling to ice flows in the river. Aircraft Commander Cartwright reduced power on both running engines and with the DMZ just two miles ahead, that mud bar was his only option to save crew and passengers. Had they crossed the DMZ, North Korea would have shot down the aircraft. This is known as the fourth worst accident at the time. Jerry's helicopter unit was immediately summoned to save as many men as possible, but it was a desperate race against time and the elements. The tide was rising and it became necessary for survivors to scramble up ropes to hovering helicopters. To Jerry and his fellow crew members' great credit, almost all of those troopers lives were saved, however there were 21 fatalities. Jerry later returned to the US and was discharged as Specialist 4th Class in November 1957. Following his military service, he traveled to Southern California and attended Northrop's Aeronautics School in Inglewood for one year. Then, he returned to New York where he became a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. Several months later, he moved to Culver City where he opened up a vacuum cleaner business which he owned and operated for 30 years. Jerry married Raquel Muchnik on Sept. 3, 1960 and they moved to Northridge where they lived for the next 44 years. Along the way they had two children and four grandchildren. Jerry and Raquel have lived in Valencia since 2005. In Jerry's retirement years, he enjoys assisting veterans and is active with the "Disabled American Veterans" (DAV) organization. Jerry said his greatest dream is for Santa Clarita to create a Veterans Museum near Newhall's Veterans Historical Plaza. This museum would be dedicated to all veterans and especially to the memory of Duane Harte, who passed away last November at age 68. Bill Reynolds is one of the "Boys of '67," Charlie Company, 4th/47th, 9th Infantry Division and is the director of Veterans Affairs for The Signal.

Ча́гга (чага, джагга, вачага) — спільна назва для низки народів банту в Східній Африці

Територія проживання і чисельність

Люди чагга проживають на відрогах гори Кіліманджаро на північному сході Танзанії і в прикордонні з Кенією.

Загальна чисельність — бл. 1,8 млн осіб (оцінка, 2006)

Субетноси, мова і релігія

У складі чагга вирізняють ряд субетносів:

 власне чагга (джагга, мова кічагга)
 мочі (моші)
 мачамбе (машамі)
 меру (руо, мова руа)
 вунджо
 ромбо (усері)
 руша
 кахе
 ґвено.

Люди чагга розмовляють спорідненими мовами (мовою) банту чагга (кічагга). Чагга — нерідко білінґви — поширені кісуахілі та англійська.

У ХХ ст. для мови/мов чагга було створено писемність (на основі латинки).

Чагга формально є християнами (католиками), насправді додержуються традиційних культів — анімізм, культ предків. Частина чагга — мусульмани-суніти.

Дані з історії і господарства

Історично чагга розселилися на землях, які займають в даний час, до приходу сюди нілотських народів, зайнявши у ХІІІ—XV ст.ст. землі, заселені кушитами. Відтак, традиційна культура чагга зазнала істотного кушитського впливу.

Під час міжкланових сутичок з масаями у період між 1830 і 1875 рр. чагга абсорбували в свій склад різні групи масаїв; це саме стосується народів тавета, камба, меру та кікуйю.

Попри різне походження, етнічна спільнота чагга розвинула спільну мову та культуру, що вирізняється від оточуючих народів.

Традиційні заняття чагга — ручне терасне землеробство (банани, просо, ямс) і скотарство. Експортне значення має кава, яку почали вирощувати з кін. XIX ст..

Серед ремесел розвиток набули різьбярство на дереві (посуд, щити), ковальство (мотики, списи, прикраси) тощо.

Сьогодні серед чагга поширено відхідництво. Частина чагга проживають у містах (Аруша, Дар-ес-Салам тощо), де зайняті в бізнесі, працюють в різних галузях економіки, існує національна інтелігенція.

Соціальна організація і культура

У чагга вкорінилися вождівства — общини управлялися вождями (мангі), на поч. XX ст. були об'єднані під владою верховного вождя (мангі мкуу), титул яких зберігся серед чагга і до наших днів.

До поч. XX ст. практикувалися чоловічі (нґасі) та жіночі (шиджа) ініціації, які включали обряд обрізання.

У чагга поселення сільського типу без чіткого планування. Житло чагга — хатина з соломи і трави шоломоподібної форми, без вікон.

Традиційний одяг чагга — цільна коров'яча шкура або хутряні накидки, численні головні убори.

У чагга розвинуті міфологія і фольклор. Головним персонажем усних оповідань виступає верховне божество Сонця Рува. Відомі також історичнні перекази і легенди, пісні тощо.

Основні музичні інструменти — флейти і барабани. Багата танцювальна культура.

Найвідоміший дослідник народу чагга — німецький антрополог і етнограф Бруно Гуттман (Bruno Gutmann), який здійснював польові дослідження у 1-й пол. XX ст.

Цікаві факти

 У кухні чагга численні заборони і обмеження, до того ж статевий розподіл — так, банани вважаються чоловічою їжею, а молоко, ямс — жіночою. Як і нілоти, чагга споживають свіжу коров'ячу кров. Пиво (мбеґе), крім традиційного проса, також варять, як і народи-сусіди з бананів.
 Колоритний костюм воїна чагга — зав'язки і браслети на кісточках та зап'ястках і причепні «хвости» і «роги».

1. Based on the information below, can you guess the meaning of "geology," "homophone," and "phonology"? Look them up after you guess.
2. Use each of the words in a sentence or short dialogue.
3. One who studies "oceanography" is an "oceanographer." Can we say one who uses a "phonograph" is a "phonographer"? Why or why not?

Q: Check if firestore is reachable (Internet is available and server is online) This is a very very odd and confusing situation:
What do we do:
We check if we are connected to the internet by checking wifi and mobile connection state on the phone (This should be enough as offline persistence is enabled anyway for our project and we just want to display a hint to the user)
What is the problem
Now it gets VERY suspicious. One of the internet providers in Germany send routers to the users that are UNABLE to connect to espacially firebase/firestore servers. This happend to at least 3 different persons that own that special router. The provider told me there is no port blocking and no other restriction. There are just routers that won't connect for whatever reason. This also means that internet works but the data will never gets synchronized while the user uses wifi.
Also the enduser cannot access any portblocking/portforwarding feature. All manages by the provider. I had to request a new router 4 times until I got one that allowed access to the server. And now when I test the app at a friends place - same issue. No connection until wifi is disabled - Same provider, same router and the provider of course says there is no known issue.
The question
Is there a way to check if the connection to firebase is established (Maybe pinging the IP of firestore? Which one is it?) Or is there maybe a method providing exactly that kind of information

Following an app, web pages, social media pages and the like on incumbent prime minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Narendra Modi, a TV channel has been launched called NaMo TV.
The Modi government has given the channel permission to air but no specifics has been aired as to when it sought permission, was granted the permission and how it is being funded. This has raised concern on social media since its launch and both the Aam Admi Party and the Indian National Congress have complained to the Election Commission of India and other authorities.
The AAP is particularly concerned about it violating a level-playing field for the elections; the Congress has urged that its expense should be booked under Narendra Modi's expenses for the elections as a candidate . There are other issues that both have raised regarding the new channel.
The channel's website has a lot of information that give the government's answers to many of the questions raised by the public, press and the opposition. As such, it would be up to the ECI to decide if it were a propaganda channel for the candidate.

Old Guy vs. Hipster Tuxedo Pants
Prior to last night's screening of Chris Nolan's "unrestored" 2001: A Space Odyssey, Nolan was joined on the stage of the Salle Debussy by costar Keir Dullea, longtime Kubrick producer Jan Harlan and Cannes Film Festival topper Thierry Fremaux. The below photo is of (l. to r.) the tuxedo pants of Dullea, Harlan, Katharina Kubrick and finally Fremaux's. Notice how Fremaux's slimly tailored tuxedo pants are the only ones that look hip, and how Dullea and Harlan's are baggy and blowsy with the cuffs bunched at the cuff — the way tuxedo pants were styled 20 years ago and before. I myself wouldn't be caught dead in tuxedo pants that look like Dullea's and Harlan's, but that's me. Some people don't care about this stuff, but you have to care.
Lee's "Klansman" Busts Trump Like A Bitch
Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman (Focus Features, 8.19) isn't a great film, but it's his strongest since Inside Man ('06) and before that The 25th Hour ('01), and easily his most impassioned, hard-hitting film about the racial state of things in the U.S. of A. since Malcom X ('92).
You can feel the fire and rage in Lee's veins in more than a few scenes, and especially during the last five minutes when Lee recalls the venality of last year's "Unite the Right" really in Charlottesville, which ended with the death of protestor Heather Meyer, and reminds that Donald Trump showed who and what he is with his non-judgmental assessment of the KKK-minded demonstrators. Lee paints Trump with the racist brush that he completely deserves, and it makes for a seriously pumped-up finale.
But that doesn't change the fact that BlacKkKlansman is basically a police undercover caper film, based on Ron Stallworth's 2014 novel ("Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime").
Nor the fact that tonally it sometimes feels like Starsky and Hutch or even to some extent like John Badham's Stakeout, especially as it involves the main cop protagonist falling in love with a girl (in this case an Afro'ed black activist played by Laura Harrier) who shouldn't know what he's up to, but whom he eventually confesses to. In this sense John David Washington's Stallworth is Richard Dreyfuss in the Badham film, and Adam Driver (as partner Flip Zimmerman) is Emilio Estevez.
At times the film also reminds you of some Clarence Williams III scenes from The Mod Squad.
Set in 1972, pic isn't literally about Stallworth joining the Ku Klux Klan but a stealthy undercover investigation of the Klan, initiated when he was the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department.
After initial correspondence with the Klan, Stallworth received a call in which he was asked if he wants to "join our cause." Stallworth answered affirmatively, and in so doing launched an audacious, fraught-with-peril inquiry.
SPOILER-ISH BUT NOT REALLY: Right away you're telling yourself, "Yes, I know this actually happened and that Lee is using the facts in Stallworth's book, but it made no sense for Fallworth to be heavily involved in this operation." And it just feels crazy as you're watching one crazy incident after another.
Holy Innocent
Alice Rohrwacher's Happy as Lazzaro, which I saw this morning at the Salle Du Soixantieme, may win the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or next weekend. It'll almost certainly win something big as it's quite the spiritual film, and it delivers the kind of humanist current that can lift all boats.
In this stand-up-for-women moment on the Cote d'Azur, the deciding factor, I suspect, may simply be one of gender. I'm not saying Happy as Lazzaro is a woman's film — the spiritual current is universal and gender-less — but it's very much a "heart" film, and I'm sensing that this plus a "let's give the big prize to a woman director if we can" factor will penetrate.
Set sometime in the late '80s, Rohrwacher's third film is about a late-teen or twentysomething farmworker named Lazzaro (Adriano Tardiolo), who at first resembles a cross between a pure-of-heart innocent or, if you want to brusque about it, a seemingly charmed simpleton. But that impression changes as the film develops, especially during the second half.
While Happy as Lazarro takes place in two distinctly different realms, they share a tone of exploitive cruelty and a look at the harsh plight of the hurting poor — a rural and almost medieval tobacco farm in central Italy in the first half and a large Italian city in the second half.
The dividing line between the two is a startling event that happens halfway through, and after this the true scheme of Happy as Lazzaro kicks in.
For this is basically the story of a kind of saint who refuses to respond with even a trace of guile or calculation. Lazzaro is very much a lamb-like (or donkey-like if you consider his resemblance to the Christ-like beast in Bresson's Au Hasard, Balthazar) figure of faith and trust, and the resulting current of kindness and compassion becomes more and more affecting.
Happy as Lazzaro is my second favorite film of the festival so far, second only to Pawel Pawlikowski's Cold War. It's quite the mixture of fabulism and a certain kind of grim, social-critique drama, shot in 16mm with a hand-held, rounded-edges aesthetic.
I'm not saying Rohrwacher is copying anyone, but I felt the influence of the Taviani brothers' Padre Padrone and Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 in the first half, and then a whole different kettle of fish (urban poverty) in the second half. But it's always about purity vs. venality and indifference, and it's really quite magical.
Among the costars are Alba Rohrwacher (the director's older sister) and Spanish actor Sergi Lopez (Pan's Labyrinth), whom I didn't even recognize at first.
The rural portion (i.e., the first half) was shot in Bagnoregio, a small commune in the Lazio section of Italy.
I have to leave for a screening of Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman, but there's something very special, trust me, about Happy as Lazzaro.

It was not only an inaccurate prediction, but decades later the exact opposite has happened. Billions of computers now fit in our homes and our pockets. Even refrigerators, thermostats, and alarm clocks are armed with computers that connect to us as the Internet of Things grows exponentially.
As a result, we should take any forward-looking guesses with an open mind and a light heart.
In this visualization, Envisioning.io looks at the historical relationship between currencies and technology. The graphic also looks forward to the future of trade, where new applications of technology may change and expand the ways our financial system works.
Importantly, the visualization also makes the distinction between the different types of networks that encompass currency and trade. Centralized networks are where nodes connect through dense centres that support the connected few, such as governments and banks. Decentralized networks are where nodes connect in clusters under no centralized authority. These networks favour the selective individual and give rise to things such as stock markets. Lastly, there is the distinction of distributed networks, where network nodes connect independently. This is what has enabled bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, where the whole of the network is reinforced and supported.
There are several topics covered here that we have looked at in the past in much more depth. Most recently, we showed the opportunity in mobile and electronic payments, the evolution of US currency, and also how cryptocurrencies could disrupt the financial system. We've also covered precious metals in depth with our gold and silver series.


When the promises of God became seemingly impossible, Abram and Sarai tried to engineer a result themselves. But our freedom and fruitfulness relies entirely on faith in God's grace and kindness.
How do we navigate the different stages of life, ensuring we pursue the right things and finish well? Our culture often perceives ageing as an inevitable slide into irrelevance, but as followers of Jesus, our best days are ahead.

Section Knowledge Politics and Policies
Tuesday 11:15 - 13:00 (25/08/2020)
Research funding is one of the major intersections where science meets politics. Over the past decades, this intersection has seen a number of concepts, instruments, programs, and actors. In Europe, as in many other industrial countries, public spending for research, development and innovation has been increased significantly since 2000. Despite many differences in national contexts, there seems to be trends towards "agencification" and "competitive funding", meaning that "lean" agencies provide funding for (primarily) project-based research through review procedures. If these trends are assumed to ensure distributing public funding most effectively, they pose quite some organisational challenges. How to deal with dual legitimacy issues such as fairness in allocation of funding and efficiency in carrying out the decision-making process? What are thresholds of "efficiency" in terms of size of programs, instruments, agencies? What is the influence of actors such as legislatures (parliaments), scientific organisations, audit courts, as well as the agencies themselves? This panel outline proposes to continue the work started with similar panels at ECPR 2017 in Oslo and 2018 in Hamburg. In particular, it aims to bring together scholars looking at innovation systems from an organisational perspective. We invite contributions on case studies, such as semi-independent agencies tasked with carrying out the allocation of funding at national level as well as European examples. Also, we look for studies on national innovation systems, and in particular studies that take a comparative perspective.

Q: implicit item assignment in python objects I would like to be able to assign values to class' attributes without specifying them.
What i would like to make work
A)

class HoldingStuff(object):

    def __init__(self, **args):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = '1'
        self.c = 2
        self.d = '3'
        self.e = 4
        for arg in args:
            self[arg] = args[arg]

first = HoldingStuff(a=5)
second = HoldingStuff(d=2, e='2')

Of course i could just use a dictionary within the class which holds the values. There is a big downside to that however, because i can not use code completion for the attributes then. Which makes them hard to reuse and find. (The attributes are an extensive list of mutable parameters for a simulation.)
What does work (and is unpractical)
B)

class HoldingStuff(object):

    def __init__(self, **args):
        self['a'] = 1
        self['b'] = '1'
        self['c'] = 2
        self['d'] = '3'
        self['e'] = 4
        for arg in args:
            self[arg] = args[arg]

What kinda works
C)

class HoldingStuff(MutableMapping):

    def __init__(self, **args):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = '1'
        self.c = 2
        self.d = '3'
        self.e = 4
        for arg in args:
            self[arg] = args[arg]

    def __setitem__(self, k, v) -> None:
        if k =='a':
            self.a = v
        elif k =='b':
            self.b = v
        elif k =='c':
            self.c = v
        elif k =='d':
            self.d = v
        elif k =='e':
            self.e = v
        else:
            print(k, "Not available for class.")

    def __delitem__(self, v) -> None:
        pass

    def __getitem__(self, k) -> _VT_co:
        if k =='a':
            return self.a
        elif k =='b':
            return self.b
        elif k =='c':
            return self.c
        elif k =='d':
            return self.d
        elif k =='e':
            return self.e
        else:
            print(k, "Not available for class.")

    def __len__(self) -> int:
        return 5

    def __iter__(self):
        print("Not implemented")

The functions __setitem__ and __getitem__ seem obvious and repetitive!
Question
Is there a way to reduce the source code of example C) to work in an implicit way of example A) ?

A: Use setattr.
for name, value in args.items():
    setattr(self, name, value)

A: Thank You for Your comments, which helped me find:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/6760593/3707039
delivered an elegant solution

class HoldingStuff(object):

    def __init__(self, **args):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = '1'
        self.c = 2
        self.d = '3'
        self.e = 4
        vars(self).update(args)

A: Can't comment because I have less than 50 reputation.
In option a,
class HoldingStuff(object):

    def __init__(self, **args):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = '1'
        self.c = 2
        self.d = '3'
        self.e = 4
        for arg in args:
            self[arg] = args[arg]

first = HoldingStuff(a=5)
second = HoldingStuff(d=2, e='2')

you have the lines:
for arg in args:
    self[arg] = args[arg]

yet you insert a string and trying to find its args' index
second  = HoldingStuff(d=2, e='2') #e='2'

I think you should try using:
for arg in range(len(args)):
    self[args[arg]] = args[arg]

За другото българско село с име Николчовци вижте Николчовци (Област Габрово).

Николчовци е село в Северна България.
То се намира в община Елена, област Велико Търново.

География
Махала Николчовци се намира в планински район в Еленския балкан, на около 3 километра югоизточно от село Буйновци. Разположена е на високо място до река Мийковска, в северното подножие на връх Чумерна (1536 метра).

История
Възникването се губи някъде около XIII век.
По време на обсадата на Велико Търново от турците, част от болярите, книжовниците от Търновската книжовна школа на патриарх Евтимий, благородниците и първенците от града решават да излязат през таен подземен изход под река Янтра и да отидат в Преслав. Изпращат вестоносци да огледат пътя, но се оказало, че околността е завзета от турците и решават да се заселят в Еленския балкан. Всеки род отсяда в отделна долчинка и така възникват много от махалите – Мийковци, Игнатовци, Узуните, Ралиновци, Дуфльовци, Атларците, Хъневци, Топузите... обединени по-късно в една община, с център Буйновци.
Според легендата, всички жители на махалата са умрели по време на чумна епидемия около XV- XVI век, като от цялата махала е останало едно дете, което е отгледано на махала Топузи. След като пораства, се връща, но основава махалата на ново място и понеже името му било Никола, на него е кръстено и селото.

Културни и природни забележителности
Лятото е слънчево и прохладно, а зимата мека, с много снежни дни. Просторите на Елено-Твърдишкия балкан подхранват множество малки бързотечащи реки, в които плува балканска пъстърва, мряна и кефал. Лятно време рекичките предоставят условия за къпане, а поляните край тях възможности за летуване. Много са местата за еднодневни излети. По поляните има диворастящи плодове горски ягоди, малини, къпини, гъби и изключително богато разнообразие от полезни билки.

License to Live

Shun SUGATA
Although Kiyoshi Kurosawa's career, not to mention his image, is characterised most typically by horror and he spent his many years in the V-cinema straight-to-video industry directing mostly yakuza films, License to Live proves that this director is just as adept at handling drama. Or should that be comedy? Because despite dealing with such potentially weighty subjects as the disintegration of the family and a comatose man's loss of his past, License to Live creates more laughs than tears.
Twenty-four-year-old Yutaka (Nishijima) wakes up in a hospital room after lying in a coma for ten years. His family is nowhere to be found: his parents have divorced and moved away, while his sister is engaged and spends much of her life overseas. They have all made peace with Yutaka's seemingly inevitable destiny as a bedridden vegetable and said their goodbyes long ago. The non-conformist loner Fujimori (Kurosawa's token leading man Koji Yakusho), an old friend of Yutaka's father, takes the newly awoken young man under his wing and brings him "home" to the fish farm that serves as Fujimori's main source of income. Fujimori gives him a bed, a job and a crash course in growing up; Yutaka endures the driving lessons and assorted odd jobs, sometimes with glee, but mostly with aversion - as in the case of his first visit to a prostitute, for which Fujimori must muster all his strength to drag the resistant Yutaka in. The young man's reactions consistently reveal the mind and perceptions of a child scared with and overwhelmed by the daunting task of growing up in the span of mere days.
Inevitably, at some point, family members start dropping by, having heard of Yutaka's miraculous re-emergence. His father (Sugata, a veteran of the director's gangster quickies) has left his old life behind and become something of a nomad. As far as he's concerned, Yutaka is part of that old life and he refuses to take responsibility for his son. Yutaka's sister (Kumiko Aso) comes around every now and then with her dim-witted fiancé in tow (Aikawa in one of those great change-of-pace roles so typical of his collaborations with Kurosawa), but she's too accustomed to her breezy life to stick around for long. The only relative Yutaka seems to have any sort of connection with is his mother (Lily), even though she too tells him that he should lead his own life.
Despite the change of pace, Kurosawa's characteristically barren, gloomy visual style is still very much in evidence here. But stripped of the scare tactics, it serves to emphasise the dry comic touches of the story and the characters, and complements the director's refreshing approach to the genre of "human drama" - there isn't an ounce of sentimentality to be found in License to Live. It strays far off the beaten path, shunning the predictability of your average celluloid tragedy to deliver genuine laughs.
The film also once again gives proof of Kurosawa's proficiency as a writer. His Yutaka is a character constantly bouncing back and forth between maturity and childhood, forced to make up in a short span the ten crucial years missing from his mental development. The method by which he finally makes that big step is by rebuilding and reliving one of the happiest moments of his childhood. When the task is completed he is free to leave that childhood behind, but it takes an unexpected outside element for him to finally realise it.
As with Kurosawa's horror and yakuza films, License to Live re-addresses and re-evaluates the rules and expectations of a stilted genre, yet should feel thoroughly familiar to those who know the director's work. Constantly re-inventing while at the same time remaining remarkably consistent is nothing if not the defining characteristic of an auteur, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa certainly fits that bill.

In 2018 the first self-driving cars will appear for public use. People will not own cars, but will phone for a car to pick them up and drop them off. You pay only for the trip. There will be many fewer cars and cities will change completely. Nobody will have a driver`s licence. 1.2 million people die each year from car accidents world-wide. There will be 1 accident every 6 million miles. Most car companies will change or go bankrupt. Car insurance companies are headed for the to the dust-bin of history. All cars will be run by electricity. No noise!
Electricity will become cheap and clean. With cheap electricity there will cheap and abundant water because of desalinization.
Health care will change. With the phone you can do a retina scan, check your blood and then analyses 54 bio-markers that will identify a disease. There will be access to world class medical analysis for nearly free. Goodbye the medical establishment.

Edited Jan 23 2017 I decided to add this little bit that will change the way humans live. Cars and their uses have been instrumental in how are cities are designed. Do you realize how much space is taken up by parking lots because most adults in the western world own a car? Apartment buildings have space for the inhabitant`s cars. In the future when a person wants to go anywhere they will call up a driverless car and be picked up and brought home in this way. All buildings that cater to many people must have space to accommodate their cars. This will end and the spaces now used for parking will be free for other purposes, such as playgrounds, parks etc. One thing will not change or so I believe. The number of rides will remain static and we will still need the roads. But hey, what about traffic police. Forget it not necessary The way our cities run will be changed forever. Not really, who knows what is next. And by the way, where will these electric cars park. Not in the city for sure!

'Diana's doctor poisoned my husband,' says widow
Society doctor Peter Wheeler is sued for negligence after series of apparent oversights led to death of Greek banker
Denis Campbell Health policy editor
Wed 9 Aug 2017 19.01 EDT Last modified on Wed 20 Sep 2017 18.04 EDT

A widow has told for the first time how her husband died after being slowly "poisoned" when the high-profile private GP overseeing his care failed to ensure that a powerful drug his patient was taking was not harming him.
Barbara Vavalidis is suing Dr Peter Wheeler, a society doctor in London who was Princess Diana's personal physician, over the death of her husband, Stefanos, from liver failure in 2016.
She claims Wheeler, who has treated other members of the royal family as well as celebrities, displayed "arrogance, prolonged carelessness and negligence" in the care he provided to her husband. Her legal action centres on Wheeler's alleged lack of supervision of her Greek banker husband's use of methotrexate, a highly toxic drug usually used to treat cancer which he was taking for psoriasis.
Speaking for the first time about her loss and the lawsuit, Vavalidis said the case should act as a warning to people thinking about paying for a private GP rather than using an NHS one. "I would have thought that the person using a private GP practice thinks that it's at least as safe as the NHS, if not safer. Our case is a tragic one and illustrates that that's not true," she told the Guardian.
Wheeler, who has been a doctor for 42 years, has admitted making a series of crucial mistakes in his care of Vavalidis before he died. They include failing to arrange for his patient to undergo blood tests between 2006 and 2013 to ensure that the drug was not damaging his health and not investigating when Vavalidis was found to have a low platelet count in 2013-14.
The doctor, who identified Diana's body after she died in Paris in August 1997, has admitted that his patient would have lived for another 18 months if he had not made the series of errors.
Wheeler has worked for the last 36 years as a family doctor at the Sloane Street Surgery in Knightsbridge, central London, where consultations cost from £160 upwards. It says: "Our philosophy is to provide the highest standards of professional medical care whilst giving a very personal service to our clients."
His actions involving Vavalidis are being looked into by the General Medical Council, which regulates doctors, and also the Metropolitan police's special casework investigation team to see whether it should launch a criminal inquiry.
"My husband took methotrexate once a week without fail. But he suffered an almost insidious build-up of health problems like colds and poor sleep. That was the nature of being poisoned – drip by drip by drip – over this very long period
"The duty of a doctor is to protect patients from harm. That's not what we got," said Barbara Vavalidis.
She and her sons Alex and Philip say they do not understand why the GMC has taken no action, despite Wheeler's admissions and Alex complaining about the doctor's conduct in May 2016. The GMC refused to comment.
They are also concerned why Care Quality Commission inspectors were positive about the quality of care at Sloane Street Surgery when they inspected it in 2011 and 2013.
The family are also frustrated at the practice's failure for many of the years during which the banker was taking methotrexate to have software that would have forced Wheeler to order blood tests on him before prescribing him further doses of the drug. That shows that private medical care is not necessarily as safe as that from NHS GPs, they say. The practice has since installed the software, which is standard in NHS GP surgeries.
Wheeler declined to comment, on the advice of the Medical Defence Union, his legal representatives. The surgery said it could not comment either.
Russell Levy, the family's solicitor, said: "The case matters first, of course, because it demonstrates persistent repeated neglect by a general practitioner in the care of his patient over a period of 13 years.
"So the wider question is, why wasn't that picked up? If you put that into the context of the surgery being a highly regarded private surgery, people will tend to assume that the care patients receive from the doctors there is likely to be better than the care patients receive from any ordinary NHS GP practice," said Levy, a lawyer at Leigh Day solicitors.

François Poullain de La Barre, (París, 1647-Ginebra, 1725) fue un escritor, sacerdote, precursor del feminismo, y filósofo cartesiano francés.

Biografía
Nació en el seno de una familia burguesa. Se formó desde niño para la carrera eclesiástica a la cual su padre lo había destinado. En 1663, con 16 años de edad, obtuvo el grado de maestría. Tres años después, en la Universidad de la Sorbona, alcanzó el grado de bachiller en teología e inició los de doctorado en Teología.

Participó en los debates intelectuales de su época, tanto los que se desarrollaban dentro de la Universidad como los que, por diversas razones, eran cuestiones excluidas de la Universidad, leídas y discutidas en las calles y los salones parisinos de la época, espacios de libertad y emancipatorios. Así fue como entró en contacto con las nuevas corrientes cartesianas y gasendistas, llegando a convertirse a la nueva filosofía, hasta el punto de abandonar sus estudios de doctorado.

Fue ordenado sacerdote católico pero en 1688 se convirtió al calvinismo, siendo, por ello, repudiado por su familia. Fue perseguido y, después de la revocación del edicto de Nantes en 1685, tuvo que huir, hecho que le valió no sólo el repudio familiar sino además el ser perseguido y finalmente tener que huir a Ginebra. Acogido como ciudadano en Suiza, allí se casó, tuvo dos hijos, y se dedicó hasta el fin de sus días a la enseñanza.

La cuestión de la libertad religiosa fue central en la vida de Poullain y marcó su trayectoria vital e intelectual. El otro gran tema, por influencia del preciosismo, fue la polémica sobre la naturaleza y situación de las mujeres.

En los salones literarios entra en contacto con el movimiento Preciosista y su querellas de las mujeres. Las aristócratas cultas cuestionaban la autoridad marital, pedían el acceso al mundo intelectual, a las Academias, apoyaban el desarrollo de la lengua francesa, etc. Promovieron la consolidación del francés como lengua moderna y viva frente a las lenguas muertas que excluían del saber, por no ser conocidas, a la mayoría de la población, especialmente la femenina.

Obras de Poullain de la Barre
En París publicó en 1672 Rapports de la langue Latine avec la Françoise, pour traduire élégamment et sans peine (Las relaciones entre la lengua latina y el francés) haciendo una defensa del francés como lengua moderna.

En 1673, hace aparecer anónimamente De l'égalité des deux sexes, discours physique et moral où l'on voit l'importance de se défaire des préjugez donde demuestra que el trato desigual que sufren las mujeres no tiene un fundamento  natural, sino que procede de un prejuicio cultural. En opinión de Celia Amorós esta obra es:

En otra de sus obras, siempre anónimas, De l'éducation des dames pour la conduite de l'esprit dans les sciences et dans les mœurs, Poullain de La Barre prosigue la reflexión sobre la educación de las mujeres. Poullain preconiza que las mujeres reciban una verdadera educación que les abra las puertas de todas las carreras, incluidas las científicas.

Unos años más tarde, en su obra De l'excellence des hommes contre l'égalité des sexes, defiende con ironía el punto de vista sexista que prevalecía en su época. Ridiculizando los argumentos patriarcales espera llegar a un mayor número de personas.

Bayle ha enunciado la hipótesis de que Poullain habría refutado su propia teoría porque se sentía amenazado. Pero los argumentos antifeministas que ponen en duda la sinceridad de esta refutación, llegan al absurdo. Además, el lugar de Poullain de La Barre en la historia del feminismo, varía considerablemente de un autor a otro.

En 1670 escribe y publica en Ginebra La Doctrine des protestants sur la liberté de lire l'Ecriture Sainte referido al libre y público examen de conciencia.

Lectura feminista de la obra de Poullain de la Barre

En la Genealogía del feminismo que sitúa en la Ilustración el origen teórico del Feminismo, se considera que la Primera ola del feminismo comienza con la obra de Poullain de la Barre De la igualdad de los dos sexos. En este libro la mujer pasa a ser un sujeto epistemológico. Este filósofo es la senda perdida entre Descartes y Rousseau.

Su discurso no es el memorial de agravios, tampoco es un discurso de la excelencia. Es un género de vindicación que se produce a partir del momento en el que las ideas del Barroco y las de la filosofía cartesiana, fundamentaron un concepto de igualdad válido contra el Antiguo Régimen y los privilegios de sangre que, sin embargo, excluía a las mujeres. Hasta que esa idea de igualdad no se predicó respecto del hombre no se pudo vindicar para la mujer.

Poullain vivió en la misma época y se formó en las mismas corrientes filosóficas que la de quienes, frente a la hermenéutica feminista, se dice que «sus opiniones sobre la mujer estaban condicionadas por la situación de estas en su época, y era imposible percibir para ellos las cosas de otro modo.» Sin embargo, François Poullain de la Barre sí tuvo otra perspectiva:

What is it? The goal of the Army Science and Technology (S&T) program is to achieve transformational capabilities that will enable the future force while pursuing opportunities to enhance current force capabilities. The Soldier remains the centerpiece of all Army S&T investments. The S&T community has demonstrated its Soldier focus in responding to demands of current operations in Afghanistan and Iraq by providing selected technologies for immediate limited fielding such as those to counter Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). Future Combat Systems (FCS) technologies, now in the Systems Development and Demonstration phase, remain the single largest S&T investment in the 2006 Budget.
- First, Soldiers benefit today from technologies that emerged from past investments. Since the mid-1980s, the Soldier Systems Center (Natick) has pursued advanced fiber technologies, in partnership with industry, to create lighter weight ballistic protection. This research produced the technologies to develop the outer tactical vest and components for the protective plate inserts that Soldiers deployed worldwide use today.
- Second, we exploit transition opportunities by accelerating mature technologies from on-going S&T efforts. Radio frequency (RF) jamming technology solutions from investments in our electronic warfare technology program have been incorporated into the family of Warlock systems being used to defeat radio controlled IEDs today.
- Third, we leverage the expertise of our scientists and engineers to develop solutions to unforeseen problems encountered during current operations. Engineers at the Army Research Laboratory and the Tank-Automotive Research Development Engineering Center have extensive experience in designing armor for the Army's combat vehicles. This team rapidly responded to a critical need by designing and demonstrating add-on armor survivability kits for high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) for enhanced survivability. These kits have been installed on over 13,000 HMMWVs deployed for GWOT.
What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the future? S&T contributes to Army Transformation by enabling the future force.
"I can assure you that the United States - and I am now speaking as an American - will fulfill its pledge to the Afghan people. The United States will not leave Afghanistan until the Afghan people tell us the job is done."-Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, commander of Combined Forces Command Afghanistan, said following the transfer of authority ceremony yesterday in Kabul.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is considered by Robert Parker to be one of the best wines from Pessac-Léognan in terms of quality and consistency. This dense, tannic, and concentrated wine expresses itself beautifully, but it demands time in the cellar in order to reach its fullest potential. It would be impossible to discuss this producer without touching briefly upon its neighbor across the street, the esteemed First Growth Château Haut-Brion. Though there used to be a bit of a rivalry between these two illustrious estates, the tension has cooled down throughout the ages, and both are recognized as incredible expressions of Pessac-Léognan terroir within their own right. For the oenophile who loves a wine with power, intensity, concentration, and structure – Château La Mission Haut-Brion is an excellent choice.
Château La Mission Haut-Brion has a long history that dates to the 16th Century. The property was purchased by Jean de Pontac in 1533. Jean de Pontac was a well-known figure in the wine industry, owning some of the best estates in Bordeaux. He would later go on to own Château Haut-Brion as well. In 1607 the property changed hands to Olive de Lestonnac, a young widow who would manage the property. Eventually, she gave the property to the Congregate of the Mission, and that is when the estate received its moniker, "La Mission Haut-Brion." A chapel was built in the vineyards, and it was known as Notre Dame de La Mission. The estate remained in the hands of the Roman Church until it was possessed by the French Government during the French Revolution. It was subsequently sold at public auction to the Chiapelle family who ended up managing Cos d'Estournel.
During the time of the 1855 Classification, La Mission Haut-Brion was selling wine priced similarly if not more expensive than the Second Growths in Bordeaux. The estate was not classified in 1855 as Château Haut-Brion was the only property within the Graves region with that privilege. This would change when Château La Mission Haut-Brion was classified during the Graves Classification in 1953. The estate changed hands several times until it was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon, the owners of Château Haut-Brion. Once Domaine Clarence Dillon took over operations of the estate, a massive renovation was completed both within the vineyards and at the estate. The wines have never been better.
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is situated on a deep gravel bed, which is typical of the region. Here, plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon thrive in the soils with excellent drainage. Château La Mission Haut-Brion vinifies their wines in stainless steel prior to ageing them in new French oak for 22 months. Their white wine, Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is considered one of the finest expressions of White Bordeaux in all of Pessac-Léognan. The wine of La Mission Haut-Brion is opulent and full-bodied, requiring several years in bottle to reach its peak expression, though we can assure you it is very much worth the wait.
"The 2019 La Mission Haut-Brion is composed of 53% Merlot, 39.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.5% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 11th of September to the 2nd of October. The estimated label alcohol degree is 14.5%. Very deep purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal a beguiling perfume of violets, Black Forest cake, wild blueberries and kirsch with nuances of star anise, cast-iron pan, pencil lead and crushed rocks plus a waft of wild sage. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with layers of black fruit, earth and floral-laced flavors, framed by exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins and compelling freshness, finishing with great length and loads of mineral sparks. A wine of impeccable breeding, both decadently flamboyant and provocatively graceful, this is already a prodigious wine of indisputable beauty." - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (6/10/2020, Bordeaux 2019 Issue), Ratings: 98-100
