Appeals Court Issues Major Decision in Case of Nuns Vs Obama
The Little Sisters of the Poor is an order of nuns whose mission in life is to care for the elderly poor in America. But, they have been under assault by the Obama Administration ever since Obamacare and its contraception mandates were put in place.
They have been in court, taking precious resources away from those in need, to defend their faith against the atheist, socialist predators in Obama's cadre of tyrants.
In the latest round, they have been granted a reprieve from knuckling under the iron boot of the federal government.
MRC TV reports:
In July, a three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit Court ruled that an order of nuns must comply with Obamacare's contraceptive mandate. But, on Friday, the Little Sisters of the Poor received a reprieve from choosing between observing their faith and continuing their mission as a panel of the full Tenth Circuit Court issued an order safeguarding their nuns' order and other ministries from being forced to authorize coverage for birth control (at least until the Supreme Court takes up and rules on their case).
The Little Sisters is an order of nuns who devote their lives to helping seniors who don't have the money to help themselves. Presently, they run 30 homes in the United States where the elderly and dying are treated and cared for with love and dignity (see video below)
Under Obamacare, religious-affiliated organizations such as the Little Sisters, do not have to provide contraception coverage to their employees, but they do need to sign a form affirming their objection, which then forces the insurer or an outside health plan administrator to provide separate birth control coverage. The order of nuns believes that, by signing that form, they are authoring birth control, a position agreed to by many other religious organizations
Unbelievably, the July ruling against the Little Sisters was not based on law – it was based on faith. The judges said that the nuns would not substantially violate any tenets of their faith by signing the form. Apparently, along with being experts on jurisprudence, the court considered themselves experts on Catholic theology.
But the full court has granted relief until the Supreme Court takes up the case as it is expected to do during the next session.
These kind of horrible oppressive rulings are what we get when Democrats and RINOs get to appoint liberal activist judges to the federal courts. Their ruling are not based on the Constitution or even on past case law. They rule according to their ideologies and perceived social trends.
This brief powerful video about the ministry of the Little Sisters of the Poor is a must-see. Please share it will all you know.
It reveals who the Obama Administration really is – a bunch of tyrannical socialist bullies who hate people of the Christian faith.
The battle for faith in America is raging on multiple fronts – abortion, "same-sex" marriage, religious charities, schools, and other direct assaults on the 1st Amendment.
MRC TV continues the story:
Mark Rienzi, Senior Counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents the Little Sisters of the Poor, told LifeNews.com he's delighted by the decision.
"The federal government doesn't need the Little Sisters or any other ministry to help it distribute abortion-inducing drugs and other contraceptives," Mark Rienzi, senior counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents the Little Sisters, said in a statement. "Yet it not only insists on forcing them to participate in the delivery, it argues that their beliefs against participating are wrong and that government officials and judges can tell the Little Sisters what Catholic theology really requires. That's wrong, and it's dangerous — especially when those same government officials have disrespectfully compared the Sisters' beliefs to 'fighting an invisible dragon' that can be vanquished with the 'stroke of the [Sisters'] own pen.'
It's ironic that progressive groups, which scream bloody murder every time there is a Christmas tree on publicly-owned property because of their misinterpretation of the First Amendment, were totally silent when an actual violation of the amendment arose: the tenth circuit court issuing a ruling based on their interpretation of theology, rather than the law.
These "God-hating" liberal socialists must be stopped before they completely destroy America.
Our history and our heritage and our legacy depend on us today – continuing to fight for the truth and soundly rejecting the nonsensical "political correctness" of liberalism and its utter fascism.
Let's start first by protecting a bunch of poor nuns who are caring for those in society that Obama's "death panels" would prefer to destroy.

Gere Honored by Museum
By JERRY TALLMER
Waldorf gala recalls the greatest movie moments of one really good kisser
When the time came for Richard Gere to say something nice about the American Museum of the Moving Image, he had a word for it. In fact, several good words for that cinematic historical beehive on the grounds of the old Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens.
"When I was making 'The Cotton Club' [there], 18, 19 years ago," the actor said, "there was no American Museum of the Moving Image. Rochelle Slovin created it out of nothin' and turned it into somethin.' A museum of whimsy, science, craft, emotions. It's sweet, generous-and interactive!"
That last one was the word that best summarized the whole evening, April 13, when AMMI saluted Richard Gere with a black-tie gala at the Waldorf. Officer and gentleman Gere thus joined a roster that began with Sidney Lumet in 1985 and includes Elia Kazan, Sidney Poitier, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts—Gere's "Pretty Woman" co-star—among others.
Interactive? You could say that again. There was, for starters, a table down in front large enough to hold Richard Gere's entire family from Syracuse––his mother, his father, his sisters, his cousins, and his aunts. They and he all had something to say from time to time.
At the end, when, from the stage, Gere spoke of "these people who witnessed my life, beginning as a very shy, difficult, irascible, all of that stuff…," his sister Susan broke in, loud and clear, with: "… and more!"
The actor thanked his mother for making him his Santa suit in second grade, and thanked his father "for being the guy I find myself becoming." From the table, Gere senior, an insurance salesman, announced: "I still have my hair."
"Mine is now the same color as yours," said the white-maned son.
It was, after words of welcome from AMMI chair Herbert S. Schlosser and AMMI director Slovin, a skyrocket named Sharon Stone who, in very sheer flesh tones, launched her own opening lines toward the 700 dinner guests––that is to say, flubbed them, amidst laughter, some of it hers––over and over again a good three times.
"That's why I've waited to do Broadway," the pneumatic Ms. Stone cheerfully proclaimed.
"She almost has a dress on," photographer Aubrey Ruben murmured in my ear.
Why was this gala AMMI evening different from all other gala AMMI evenings? Because, as a huge swooping, swirling camera boom and many technicians made manifest, it was being shot and edited like a movie––with starts, stops, breaks, retakes––for broadcast by the USA Network on Saturday, May 8.
A film clip of Gere, as charcoal hairy as the bearded Johnny Damon of the Boston Red Sox, trying to pick up Diane Keaton in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," Gere's 1977 breakthrough movie, was followed by an intense Stone-Gere marital strife scene from "Intersection" (1994).
"No matter how chilly and strange," Stone said of that moviemaking experience, "you made me a better actress… But let it be also said that you have also established yourself as one of the greatest and most accomplished kissers in the whole history of cinema."
There followed a montage of mouth-to-mouth resuscitations between Richard Gere and this one and that one in 20 or 30 motion pictures, a sort of one-man's climactic "Cinema Paradiso." After which Ms. Stone was called upon to reprise her scripted opening lines of ten minutes earlier. "Now COME on!" she said when she blew them again.
Finally she got it right: "We are pleased to look at you and your fine body of work for an entire evening… This, ladies and gentlemen, is one GORGEOUS museum piece…"
Stone drew a breath.
"I like the first one," she said of her line readings.
Stone was not alone in her difficulties. Even such experienced stage actors as Laura Linney and Liam Neeson had problems with their lines and could not fully be heard, while Winona Ryder, giggling, more or less disappeared into the wallpaper.
What brought life, laughter, and energy into the proceedings was the joint appearance of Garry Marshall, director of Gere's "Pretty Woman" (1990), and Hector Elizondo, who played the taut, understanding hotel manager in that worldwide hit.
Marshall and Elizondo kicked around the description of Richard Gere as "a moody, rebellious, sulky guy."
"So what?" said Marshall, "he's from Syracuse."
"I'm from Harlem," Elizondo said.
"I'm from the Bronx," said Marshall. "The moody people come from Syracuse."
Elizondo remembered when he was in another Gere movie. "I was a cop chasing him when he was a hooker in 'American Gigolo.'"
"He's a good kisser," said Marshall. "He has chemistry. He can have chemistry with a telephone pole. He has beautiful silver hair."
Marshall, a director of countless large screen and small screen hits who described his directing as "louder, softer, fast, slow, why get into all that other stuff," introduced the next film clip as "one of the best scenes I ever stood out of the way of."
It is indeed a delicious scene, Julia Roberts in a bubble bath in "Pretty Woman," with Gere, on the edge of the tub, offering her a few thousand dollars "to be at my beck and call for several days." She lets out a whoop of "Holy shit," ducks under the water, comes back up with a sunlit em-bubbled smile and "Well, I want to be your beck-and-call girl."
A brusque and bracing contrast was now supplied by Louis Gossett, Jr., the hard-as-nails drill sergeant who put cadet Gere through his paces in "An Officer and a Gentleman" (1982).
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have got an Oscar. Richard, thank you," said Gossett. "So here we are, 22 years later… Richard's approach to acting is three-dimensional. He jumps into a character with four feet. But the way to work with Richard is to push him."
Things got interactive again when squeals and screams were heard throughout the prestigious Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria as young actor Gere jiggled and bounced his way through his wardrobe undressing scene in "American Gigolo" (1980).
"This is a male star who could only come from Syracuse," said Liam Neeson.
"Stripped," he thoughtfully added.
Up jumped Gere from his seat at the family table.
"Who thinks that scene was good enough?" he shouted to the room at-large. And the room at-large answered back with a fusillade of applause and cheering. Like the man said, interactive. Moody, rebellious, sulky Richard Gere stood in the middle of the uproar, stuffing a napkin into his mouth to keep from, one supposes, collapsing in giggles like a child.
There was more, there was more; there was Denzel Washington––amidst the further cheers for song-and-dance man Gere's film clip striptease in "Chicago"–– saying, "Not yet, Richard, not yet. Sit down."
And then Washington remarked how the man of the hour had been "a major movie star for two decades while always holding onto his soul"––with the man of the hour shouting up from where he was seated: "Three decades!"
And then, finally––well, almost finally––there was Richard Gere, on stage, thanking his mother, his father, his wife Carey Lowell, his small son, his sisters, his cousins, and his aunts. And oh yes, Garry Marshall, "the epiphanal person in my life." And two more people, whom Gere made sure were invited to this shindig, and whom he now, one at a time, made stand up and take a bow.
They were Doris Abramson, his teacher back in his two years at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst ("She made me feel I had something to offer"), and Wynn Handman, "my first real teacher in the real world––in scenes from 'Henry V' in class he got me to trust the language, trust the writer. 'Dive in — he'll carry you.' I didn't know this, but Wynn was Denzel's teacher too."
"One thing I've learned in life," Gere said to close out the proceedings. "Never trust anyone who exclusively thinks he has God on his side."
Two beats.
"Especially when it's the president of the United States."
One movie star, one actor, interactive.

Q: Merging list of python dictionaries by column value I have data that is a list of python dictionaries, each representing a row in the data, and want to combine several of these into one dictionary.
I need to combine them by a common value in a single column, note the dictionaries to merge may or may not contain similar columns and values should be concatenated, not clobbered.
Here is an example (combining dicts by value in column 'a'):
data = [{ 'a':0, 'b':10, 'c':20 }
{ 'a':2, 'd':30, 'e':40 }
{ 'a':0, 'b':50, 'c':60 }
{ 'a':1, 'd':70, 'c':80 }
{ 'a':1, 'b':90, 'e':100 }]

Desired output is:
new_data = [{ 'a':0, 'b':[10,50], 'c':[20,60] }
{ 'a':1, 'd':[70], 'c':[80], 'b':[90], 'e':[100] }
{ 'a':2, 'd':[30], 'e':[40] }]

I have a simple function that can accomplish this, but need a faster method (Data has approx 1,000,000 rows and 20 columns). My method of finding the dictionaries I want to merge is very expensive.
Here is where I have an issue with computation time:
unique_idx, locations = [], {}
    for i, row in enumerate(data):
        _id = row['a']
        if _id not in unique_idx:
            unique_idx.append(_id)
            locations[_id] = [i]
        else:
            locations[_id].append(i)

grouped_data = [data[loc] for loc in locations.values()]

I need a faster method to collect dictionaries that contain the same value in one column. Ideally I want a quick method with plain python, but if this can be done simply with a pandas DataFrame that is good as well.

So, some Bay Area californians are placing the prop 8 success blame on the Mormon church. The website intends to compare the oppression of gay rights and the oppression of Mormon rights to gain some ground with people of that faith. It points to an article listing 300 mormons that were against their church and Prop 8.
Twitter Search and Google Trends have the sad news of Michael Crichton's death as their top issue. Twitter-ers are also tweeting about California and Proposition 8. Google's volcanic topic is Rahm Emmanuel being tapped for Obama's chief of staff. Of course, it's Nov 5 so Guy Fawkes is on Twitter-er's minds.
Now, what's the hot topic on blogs? It's Barack Obama by a landslide. Also, the news that Google broke its advertising agreement with Yahoo. I expect to see some Prop 8 blogposts in the near future.
Google Dumps Yahoo: Was It Something We Said?
Google announced today that it would not be going steady with Yahoo. They couldn't get over the prenup, and some of Google's friends were concerned about this relationship. So, Google thought long and hard about it. They even tried to give it one more shot, but today Google just wants to be friends.
The breakup was done in a noisy restaurant…meaning today everyone doesn't care unless you're covering yesterday's election, Prop 8, and the Senate race results.
What does this mean for Yahoo? Well, it means that Jerry Yang and David Filo have to start thinking about the future of their company. This is the second big hit this week after Yahoo announced it would be shutting down its streaming video site Yahoo Live.
So, good luck, Jerry and David. You guys just weren't ready for a grown up relationship. I know, your hearts are broken. But there are other fish in the sea.
3 in the Morning: President Elect Barack Obama.
It's interesting to note how every category sans the 65+ group went to Obama in Ohio. Once this state was called, it was over.
Here is McCain's page with VERY LITTLE change (the developers just included a video of his remarks.) Obama's website now gives visitors the chance to contribute to the RNC, but McCain's website has yet to make these additions. I'm guessing the developers are worn out after a long day.
So now we have our next president, and the tech community needs to be optimistic about an Obama administration. For one, he has always been a fighter for net neutrality. His call for net neutrality is even in his book The Audacity of Hope.
We must also expect his administration to hold its promise to give government back to the people through technology. The huge coalition from this election should expect to see his text messaging and social network presence used to tackle his agenda.
Google Trends, as of 3:31 AM, shows us that McCain's concession speech became the volcanic topic of the day. It also appears that David Plouffe has gained some attention. People across the country are up late waiting for the results of Prop 8, which was leaning YES an hour ago. Obama mentioned Ann Nixon Cooper in his speech, and this has inspired some googling. Overall, Obama's speech got the least attention and third place behind Obama's campaign director Plouffe and McCain's concession speech.
Some of you might have noticed that "Uncle Tom" is a search term. And it might be related to two different types of stories: 1) The People of Natchitoches, Louisiana, where Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is set, awaited the results of whether we had elected the first African American president. Or 2) it could've been Ralph Nader's remarks this evening. Both were stories on major news outlets, but I'm going to vote for the latter as the cause.
It's been an interesting day, and I thank everyone that voted in his historic hard fought election. We should be thankful for 4 great candidates with 4 families that embody our hopes and dreams.

Attracting and Retaining Top Tech and Design Talent
By Lara Morgan
#technology #australia #culture #employeeengagement #workplace #success #facebook #google
Creating a culture of success; how employee engagement can directly and positively influence revenue; how workplace culture can attract and retain the best talent - these topics have gotten increasingly more coverage over the past few years and quite rightly so, but why? Where did this come from, and who is doing it well in Australia?
It is unsurprising that many believe this notion was pioneered by tech companies; Facebook being the most famous example of this. Mark Zuckerberg realised early on that if Facebook was going to grow from the small company he built from his dorm room in 2003, he would need to attract and retain the best talent on the market and to do this, people would have to want to work there. Facebook (despite recent backlash) is now well-known as an office of fun; with hiring process itself, as well as social activities and employee perks all carefully reflecting Facebook's company values of being open and connected.
As a global tech hub, companies in Silicon Valley have to continually compete for the best talent and niche technical skills, meaning other tech companies had to quickly follow suit. Even the infamous Google, have had to step up their culture game over the past five years in order to remain as arguably one of the most desirable places to work in the world.
As part of the Mitchellake team I am lucky enough to work with some of Australia's most well-known technology companies; meaning I know first hand how difficult it can be to find candidates with the skill set and experience they require. Australian tech companies have also realised the value in putting more focus on employee engagement and company culture, in order to compete in a skills-short market, improve their product/ service offering and ultimately to continue to be successful.
I thought it would be fun to use my insider knowledge to round up some of the companies we work with who are doing the culture thing well (don't all apply at once!).
Seek. Free breakfast (and pick n' mix!); commitment to career development; generous parental leave
RedBubble. Meditation room for mid-morning zen; weekly catering from some of the best restaurants Melbourne CBD has to offer
Culture Amp. Allocation of a mentor/ coach outside direct line managers to help grow individuals' career; "bring your whole self to work" culture, with money set aside to support learning inside and outside of work
Invoice2go. One of the more stocked, fully-stocked kitchens I have come across; 3pm office planks
Mitchellake. Partly because my boss would kill me if I didn't include us, and partly because we have gotten new bean bags which are extremely comfy to work from. We also have weekly table tennis tournaments; spend for professional development and are a pooch-friendly office.
If anyone has any thoughts, comments or insights on this topic feel free to drop me a mail :)

It might have been an old 1970's NME that I picked up from a car-boot sale in the 1980s – amongst those pages the late and great Ian MacDonald was raving about Laura Nyro and I decided to check her music out. That was probably it. But those bitter-sweet confessional stories of Laura's, combined with the tempo-changes and sometimes raw, mysterious emotion drew me in and has never let go. You don't read too much about Laura Nyro in 2016, but in my world her songs and voice chime with the best music has to offer. She was certainly influential, arguably as important as Joni Mitchell, easily as intense as Neil Young on his famous doom trilogy, and certainly as original as Bob Dylan in his first electric phase.
You don't read too much about Laura Nyro in 2016. She was certainly influential, arguably as important as Joni Mitchell, easily as intense as Neil Young on his famous doom trilogy, and certainly as original as Bob Dylan in his first electric phase.
By the end of the 1960s, her protégé manager David Geffen made both himself and Nyro millionaires with a huge publishing advance. From 1966 till the end of the decade Nyro had accrued so many hits on the Billboard 200 that her songs were the definition of radio candy. Widely covered by the likes of Peter, Paul & John, Barbra Streisand, The 5th Dimension and Blood Sweat & Tears to name a few, these covers brought Nyro unprecedented success at a very young age. Interestingly, this also gave Nyro the space to develop her own albums without having to adhere to such commercial considerations.
What made Nyro such an intriguing artist in the mid-1960s was a rarely heard intensity, especially present on a trilogy of albums that represent the deepest and loneliest confessions of the period. You could state that Nyro was the Lucifer baiting New York songstress of the Brill Building sect, shunning the limelight for truer pursuits. Her debut album, More Than A New Discovery (1967), is where the bulk of the hits that made her fortune reside. It's a fine album, but Nyro got real with what came next.
Eli And The Thirteenth Confession (1968), New York Tendaberry (1969) and Christmas And The Beads of Sweat (1970) are the trilogy of albums which would define Nyro the artist. Across these records you could find a dark, sparse, personal and super intense journey, doused in the musical dictionary of soul, jazz, doo-wop, Brill Building songcraft, sexual fulfillment and personal experiments. These albums offered a close inspection of New York's underbelly, as real and twisted as Lou Reed's more celebrated world view – combined with a personal narrative amid tales of Nyro's own drug dependency. It's a long way from the sunny disposition of The 5th Dimension or Barbra Streisand. New York Tendaberry especially deals with an intimacy that's very stark even for those times.

Gonna Take A Miracle (1971) lets the light back in and is just as worthy as the famed trilogy. It's a covers album where Nyro pays tribute to the music she heard on the New York streets she grew up in – this is a freer, more joyous Nyro. After Gonna Take A Miracle, it feels like the intensity has gone. Nyro became increasingly political – and arguably less personal– singing songs about feminism, animal rights and the environment. It's like the voice shifts, from heartache to earnest. There's many gems scattered across those few albums (she only released four more studio albums in her lifetime after 1971), but nothing compares to her late-1960s heyday. Nyro passed away in 1996 from ovarian cancer at the age of 49. A posthumous album, Angel In The Dark was released in 2001. It's worth tracking down, as some songs reignite the original spark.
As I mentioned earlier, Nyro retains her mystery in the wider world, she's not been afforded the critical rediscovery of others – although she was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012. Michele Kort wrote a frustrating Nyro biography. Uncut magazine has flown the flag on occasion, and my original inspiration for Nyro, Ian MacDonald wrote some fine pieces for that magazine back in the late 1990s. MacDonald's own last book, the excellent The People's Music (2003) has a great chapter on Nyro, which is probably as good as anything you can find written about her. In the book McDonald states "… Nyro's music, which happens to be the most original, resourceful and powerful composed by any woman in the field of popular music over the last 50 years….her idiom is nonetheless utterly her own, resembling no one else's." McDonald's gendered slant on Nyro is dated, but you get the point. Just in case you don't trust my love for Laura, I'll leave the last words here for that other wizard and true star Todd Rundgren, who commented after hearing Nyro's music "I stopped writing songs like The Who and started writing songs like Laura."

The trend on Facebook this month is to post what you are "thankful for." Most of my friends are pretty much where I am at. Catching up for the four or five days we have missed. While most have went for things like god and family, the same stuff they will say around the table on the 25th, I am taking a different approach.
Day 5: I am thankful that I won't have to wait 6 hours to vote in the morning. Kansas has done a much better job of suppressing the vote than other states.
Day 4: I am thankful that billionaires and corporations can give an unlimited amount of money to political campaigns. Maybe now "trickle-down" will finally work.
Day 3: I am thankful that legislature in Ohio allowed fewer days to vote in the general election, than in the primary. Without it, these mimes would not have gotten any press.
Day 2: I am thankful that I do not have to read my D20 dice in Egyptian.
Day 1: I am thankful for Science Fiction.

The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial
John H. Langbein
Oxford Studies in Modern Legal History
A great contribution to literature on the history of crime, the history of the legal profession, and the history of eighteenth century London
Highly topical explanation of the origins of the adversary criminal procedure, at a time when the merits of this procedure are being seriously questioned
A detailed and innovative exploration of one of the most distinctive features of the Anglo-American legal system
The adversary system of trial, the defining feature of the Anglo-American legal procedure, developed late in English legal history. For centuries defendants were forbidden to have legal counsel, and lawyers seldom appeared for the prosecution either. Trial was meant to be an occasion for the defendant to answer the charges in person.
The transformation from lawyer-free to lawyer-dominated criminal trial happened within the space of about a century, from the 1690's to the 1780's. This book explains how the lawyers captured the trial. In addition to conventional legal sources, Professor Langbein draws upon a rich vein of contemporary pamphlet accounts about trials in London's Old Bailey. The book also mines these novel sources to provide the first detailed account of the formation of the law of criminal evidence.
Responding to menacing prosecutorial initiatives (including reward-seeking thief takers and crown witnesses induced to testify in order to save their own necks) the judges of the 1730's decided to allow the defendant to have counsel to cross-examine accusing witnesses. By restricting counsel to the work of examining and cross-examining witnesses, the judges intended that the accused would still need to respond in person to the charges against him. Professor Langbein shows how counsel manipulated the dynamics of adversary procedure to defeat the judges design, ultimately silencing the accused and transforming the very purpose of the criminal trial. Trial ceased to be an opportunity for the accused to speak, and instead became an occasion for defense counsel to test the prosecution case.

Winner of the Order of the Coif Biennial Book Award
"...an extraordinarily interesting book, based on deep research and advanced in a remarkably cogent fashion."-- TLS
"The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial is a most valuable study. Langbein has done hard historical spade work, going through scores of dusty forgotten papers to help trace the development. It is exciting to read about the development of hearsay rules, of the right to counsel, and of other rights of defendants. But Langbein's book is also valuable for its relevance to how we interpret and use the law even today. It adds to our understanding of the life of the law."--The Federal Lawyer

Imagine if you could talk to your family, kids or friends on Skype, while following them around, looking at whoever you want whenever you want, and walking around the room freely as if you were there. Sounds cool, right? Botiful, a prototype currently being funded on Kickstarter, integrates with Skype and carries your Android phone around, letting whoever you're talking to control it as they wish.
For anyone who's counting on Skype for daily communication, Botiful could be a real game-changer, making conversations with multiple people much easier to follow, almost as if you were there. This cute robot can also be used to view any spot you can't see with your own eyes, such as under your car or behind a big closet.
It's not just about the robot, though. Botiful also comes with cute apps you can download, which let you quickly perform popular gestures such as nodding for yes or shaking your head for no through the robot. Developers can write their own apps for Botiful, so there are no real limits to what this little robot will be able to do.
The current prototype of Botiful will work only with Android devices, and the Kickstarter goal is set to $90,000. However, the developer does promise an iPhone version as well if the project manages to hit $100,000 within the time limit. With $40,000 already pledged and 27 days to go, this looks like a realistic thing to hope for.
Watch this video to see Botiful in action. Don't be tempted to stop in the middle, the real action is waiting at the end.

What is an ESOS Enforcement Notice?
The Environment Agency have been issuing ESOS Enforcement Notices to organisations who qualified for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme but have not lodged phase 1 compliance yet.
UK companies qualifying for ESOS, were given the original deadline of 5th December 2015 to lodge ESOS compliance with the Environment Agency.
Those qualifying companies, who have failed to notify the Environment Agency of compliance, have now been issued with Enforcement Notices.
Why has your business received an ESOS Enforcement Notice?
The Environment Agency has a list of UK businesses that it believes meet the criteria for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (see our ESOS page for more details). If your company is on that list, the Environment Agency expect you to achieve and lodge your ESOS compliance. If you fail to do this, you are likely to receive an Enforcement Notice.
In 2017, we were contacted by a number of businesses who had received these letters and we expect this to continue.
What to do if you've received an ESOS Enforcement Notice from the Environment Agency?
If you find yourself in a position whereby your business has been served with an ESOS Enforcement Notice, you should act quickly to achieve compliance before the deadline stated in the Enforcement Notice (this is different for each company).
In most cases, you will need to appoint an ESOS Lead Assessor who can guide you through the ESOS process and tell you what needs to be done. Please visit our ESOS Lead Assessors page for more information.
Will my business be fined?
In truth, we cannot guarantee that the Environment Agency won't enforce the fines, after all, ESOS is a mandatory EU directive. However, we would recommend that the best way to avoid the fines, is to achieve and lodge ESOS compliance prior to the deadlines.


Rome, Ostia, Pompeii: Movement and Space.
This book demonstrates how studies of the Roman city are shifting focus from static architecture to activities and motion within urban spaces. Detailed case studies from the three best-known cities of Roman Italy are provided, revealing how movement contributes to our understanding of the ways that different elements of society interacted in space, and how the movement of people and materials shaped urban development. The chapters examine the impressions left by the movement of people and vehicles as indentations in the archaeological and historical record, and as impressions upon the Roman urban consciousness. Through a wide range of historical issues, this book studies movement as it is found at the city gate, in public squares and on the street, and as it is represented in texts. Its broad objective is to make movement meaningful for understanding the economic, cultural, political, religious, and infrastructural behaviours that produced different types and rhythms of interaction in the Roman city.

Survey asks how many people in each state admit to drinking while working from home
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — A new survey shows the percentage of people in each state who admit to drinking while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
Alcohol.org conducted a study of 3,000 employees working from home across the U.S. to find out how many are using their new office setup as an excuse to drink.
Beer is the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage while working from home, according to the survey.
With many Americans now working from home during self-isolation, everyday habits have drastically changed in order to accommodate our new daily routines. For some, this may mean waking up a few minutes later as there is no school or morning commute to worry about, but others are using this newfound freedom as reason to have an alcoholic drink during their workday.
Broken down by state, the survey revealed that residents of Hawaii (67%) are the most likely to drink at home during working hours, while Arkansans are the least likely at 8%.
When faced with adversity, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, many may look to alcohol to alleviate their stress as it numbs emotions. Particularly if confined to your home with less work to do than usual, it can be tempting to grab a glass – or bottle – of your favorite wine. In fact, 35% of Americans say they are likely to drink more alcohol while self-isolating, according to Alcohol.org.
It seems many people are prepared for the worst when it comes to alcohol as one fifth (22%) of Americans say they have stockpiled alcohol for self-isolation. Broken down, men were more prepared in this regard with 27% saying they have stockpiled alcohol, as compared to just 15% of women.
Many drinkers have that one drink they turn to in stressful times and it seems beer is the most likely drink to be consumed in self-isolation, with 38% saying this is the case. This was followed by cocktails (26%), wine (21%) and straight spirits (15%).
Broken down by gender, it was found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular drink for men to consume during self-isolation is beer (44%). Following this was wine (22%) and straight spirits (22%), and cocktails (11%). By comparison, women were most likely to consume cocktails during isolation (38%), followed by beer (33%), wine (24%) and straight spirits (5%).
Dr. Lawrence Weinstein, chief medical officer of American Addiction Centers said if you find yourself or anyone in your household reached for the bottle as a coping mechanism too often, it can be cause for concern, especially amid the current circumstances.
"These are stressful times as many employees struggle with having to adapt to a home working environment, in which distractions are abundant and alcohol may seem like a good solution," Weinstein said. "There are a number of accessible online resources available if you suspect substance addiction, such as support helplines, chatrooms and forums."
