Policy Makers Join the Call for the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation-Related Strokes to be Made a National Healthcare Priority in Europe
Home | Afib News & Events | Policy Makers Join the Call for the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation-Related Strokes to be Made a National Healthcare Priority in Europe
Urgent Need to Reduce the Devastating Personal and Economic Impact of these Severe Strokes
Brussels, Belgium — October 24, 2012 — Ahead of World Stroke Day 2012 (October 29), European Policy Makers have joined over 90 Medical and Patient Organisations, and more than 100,000 people, in supporting the Global Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Patient Charter and calling for National Governments and the World Health Organisation to act to make the prevention of AF-related strokes a priority. The Charter outlines ways to improve the diagnosis and management of AF which, if implemented, could stop thousands of preventable strokes from occurring each and every year.
Why Action is Needed Now?
This is an epidemic already in progress, in Europe alone ten million people are affected by AF — the most common sustained abnormal heart rhythm. However, an increasingly ageing population means that the number of Europeans affected is expected to rise to 25 to 30 million by 2050. This is very worrying because people with AF are five times more likely to experience a stroke than those without AF. Furthermore, these strokes are more severe than those that are unrelated to AF and therefore more costly in terms of impact on individuals and health and social services budgets.
"I think it is very important that National Ministries of Health throughout the 27 European Member States pay attention to the Global AF Patient Charter," said Member of the European Parliament's Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee Dr Cristian Silviu Busoi. "The Charter recommendations could help governments achieve the aims of the European Heart Health Charter and the recently adopted United Nations target to reduce Non Communicable Disease mortality by 25% by the year 2025. This could limit the human trauma and substantial impact on health budgets caused by AF-related strokes."
The financial burden placed on European countries by stroke is huge. In 2010, the estimated cost of stroke in Europe was €64 billion. Assuming that 15% of these strokes were caused by AF and that they are generally more severe, the cost of AF-related stroke could be at least €10 billion in 2010 alone.
The personal impact for AF-related stroke survivors and their families cannot be underestimated with more than a third of survivors returning home with some level of permanent disability. AF also increases the risk of medical complications following a stroke with survivors suffering more frequently from conditions such as pneumonia and accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
Strokes are Preventable: Prevent Them!
However, the majority of these strokes are preventable. Whilst there is no quick or easy solution, there are steps that can be taken to improve awareness, detection, diagnosis and management of AF to reduce the number of people whose lives are devastated every year.
"National governments should work together with Medical and Patient Organisations to make AF-related stroke prevention and care a national healthcare priority and put in place national stroke prevention plans," said Member of the European Parliament's Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee Edite Estrela. "We should all do our best to increase access to education, early diagnosis of AF and appropriate management to prevent AF- related strokes."
A Worldwide Unified Voice
The Global AF Patient Charter is supported by over 90 Medical and Patient Organisations around the world. Its supporting campaign, Sign Against Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation, is calling for individuals around the world to sign their names on SignAgainstStroke.com to demonstrate their support for the Charter and ask National Governments to implement its recommendations to prevent AF-related strokes.
"I am so excited to see the rapidly increasing support for the Global AF Patient Charter," said Trudie Lobban MBE, Founder and Trustee, Arrhythmia Alliance, and Co-Founder and CEO, Atrial Fibrillation Association. "Over 100,000 policy makers, healthcare professionals, patients, their families and members of the general public have supported the Charter by signing their names at SignAgainstStroke.com. This is a demonstration of how important it is that AF-related stroke is prevented and with this support we can drive change."
About The Global AF Patient Charter and Sign Against Stroke Campaign
The Global AF Patient Charter has been developed by a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from Patient Organisations, including AntiCoagulation Europe, Arrhythmia Alliance, Atrial Fibrillation Association, Irish Heart Foundation, StopAfib.org and Stroke Alliance for Europe, in collaboration with 39 founding Patient Organisations from 20 countries. A full listing of collaborating organisations is available on the website, www.signagainststroke.com.
People can learn about AF and stroke, read and sign the Charter, which is available in 22 languages, and hear what policy makers have to say on the Campaign website, www.signagainststroke.com. All signatures contribute to driving action to prevent AF-related strokes and improving future outcomes and quality of life of people diagnosed with AF.
Bayer HealthCare is proud to support the Global AF Patient Charter and Sign Against Stroke Campaign.

(Natural News) Life can throw you a curve ball at any given moment. One minute you're on a nice evening walk, the next you're evading a mob of looters or crooked cops hot on your tail. In moments like these the last thing you want is to draw attention to yourself. Staying out of sight is the best thing to do in a crisis situation. Sometimes, however, the best place to hide is in plain sight. Here's how you do it.
The best way to stay hidden is to dress the part. Forget wearing bold and eye-catching clothing and accessories. Unless everyone else dresses that way, looking like you've got fat pockets is an invitation for trouble. Dress appropriately for your environment and keep it simple. If it's raining outside, wear a raincoat. If you're in a business district, throw on a blazer and slacks. You need to blend in and appear as though you belong, and people will know if you do or don't from how you dress.
When it comes to color choices, neutral colors are best. Gray, dark blue, and beige and anything in between are recommended. As for garments, safe and flexible choices include a plain shirt and a pair of khakis. Have these ready so you can make a quick change when needed.
Blending in doesn't stop with you. Your home needs to be inconspicuous and fit in with the rest of the neighborhood. Do not make it obvious you're ready for a crisis. Doing this ensures that everyone will be making a beeline for your home when a crisis does come along. Your home should be just like the homes of everyone else. The same goes for your vehicle. Make sure that your home and your car have no distinct markings that would associate either with you. Trim your lawn and keep your bumper free of stickers.
Looking like you belong involves more than just dressing the part. You need to act like it too. The saying, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," has never been more appropriate. Do what other people are doing to avoid sticking out. Strike a conversation with someone, preferably of your own gender. You'll seem less obvious if you're with someone else or a group. If that's not possible, carry a local newspaper as a prop. Even if it's in a foreign language and you can't read it, it's still a good tool to have on you.
Only run in case of an emergency. Running draws attention, which is the last thing you want. Walk in a relaxed manner but at the same time don't appear as though you're wandering aimlessly.
Do your best to look calm. If you look uncomfortable, you look suspicious. Look like you belong and should be where you are. Act like you're a good mood but don't overdo it.
Know your surroundings. Take note of any hiding spots or shortcuts you can use. Try to avoid long, open stretches of road because you'll look strange if you're there by yourself.
If you know the language or local dialect then put your linguistic skills to use.
Remember: you don't want to be remembered, you want to be forgotten. Don't be remarkable, don't be noteworthy. Be the person you wouldn't look at twice because there's nothing more to them. Those kind of people tend to stay far away from trouble, and so will you.

Thanks all. Yes really enjoying the car at present. Did a few recent updates recently.
Also got this on the way home from work the other day. Had to do a double check that I was driving a GTI not my older GTD Not bad considering it's a DSG and only had 322 on it from new.

That's a gorgeous GTI. I have a soft spot still for these having owned a Mk6 GTI a few years back.
Although the R has its performance benefits of course the GTI looks more special imo.
That is one absolutely gorgeous car. Really gorgeous.
Love the look of the Golf GTI's, especially the 7.5. I seriously considered swapping my mk7 GTD for Tungsten Silver GTI but I'm the end I didn't think it was different enough in looks from the one I had. Still, everytime I pass one I admire them.
Good work and well done. It looks amazing!
Sorry all, not been on here for a while - thanks for the comments. Not a lot else has changed except except as winter is fast approaching, I've swapped out the carpets mats for a nice set of rubber ones (since the photos, I've removed the rear transmission tunnel cover as I thought it was a bit OTT).
Oh, and the MPG it returns continues to amaze me. This was from a 400mile round trip to London in August for my Aunt's funeral, including plenty of holds ups and lots of 50mph average speed cameras (which helped a lot I guess). Pretty amazed myself for a GTI !

Cyber reskilling grads grow skills but may not be headed for cyber jobs
By Adam Mazmanian
The first cohort of the Cyber Reskilling Academy designed to retrain current feds for cybersecurity positions graduated from their three-month training course on July 14.
Federal CIO Suzette Kent told reporters at an Aug. 21 press roundtable that she was "thrilled" with the results – both the quality of the class of 30, selected from an applicant pool of more than 1,500, and the high pass rate for the group.
The graduates tested and obtained two Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) credentials: GIAC Security Essentials and GIAC Certified Incident Handler.
The certifications required intense study to obtain, two graduates who spoke to reporters at the Office of Management and Budget event said, and were eye-opening in terms of the risks technology users take every day on their personal devices and on their work computers. The students learned some networking basics, some coding and participated in cyber defense exercises. But it's not clear whether this training will generate a cadre of new cybersecurity specialists.
Mary Gabriel, an acquisition specialist at a Department of Homeland Security component, said that an entry-level cybersecurity job would be a step down in terms of pay and seniority.
"At my current grade level, I don't think I could get a cyber-defense analyst role," she said. "If there is I haven't found it." Gabriel said she was interested in growing her cybersecurity knowledge as part of her career path and is thinking about obtaining more-advanced certifications.
Kent noted that job placement was an area that generated feedback points. The first cohort consisted of feds in the GS-12 to GS-15 level.
"Usually cyber-defense analyst is a lower grade in many cases," Kent said. She added that she's working to address this on multiple fronts, including trying to account for the subject matter depth that the newly minted cyber reskilling grads bring to the table from their current assignments.
"Our overall intent…was to find ways that we can reskill the current federal workforce in the direction of the things that are priorities," Kent said. "We started this class focused on certifications that align with cyber defense analyst because that's where we have a lot of gaps, but also [because] this is an area where this type of front-end screening and an intense course has been successful and the content is directly and broadly applicable."
Shannon Riley, who works in the privacy office at the Department of Education, is ready to apply her new skills to her current job. She told reporters she was interested in expanding her knowledge of cybersecurity because her group works closely with cyber incident response teams whenever there is a report of a data breach at her agency.
"When the security operations center has an incident or an event that has occurred, I now have that background of understanding of what they can look at and what they may be capable of doing to investigate more. And I can use that on a weekly basis," Riley said. "I'm hoping I can use more of my skills I learned in my second certification to help expand our incident response capabilities from a privacy perspective but also to aid the cybersecurity perspective as well."
Kent wants the program to steam ahead, whether graduates are enhancing their own job performance or looking to fill a needed gap in the federal cybersecurity workforce. A second cohort, consisting of applicants drawn from IT professions, started July 8 and is expected to finish on Sept. 20.
"We want to industrialize this process whether it is directly at agencies or through other central mechanism," Kent said. The budget for the Cyber Reskilling Academy exceeds what's normally available for on-the-job training, she noted, and future funding is something officials are wrestling with. "How we maintain it and how we make this type of opportunity available is a real thing that we have to figure out because some of the agencies, their ongoing training budgets are very small."

There's been a lot of buzz around the CANApps released so far and our community has been throwing ideas out there for future apps. Now is your chance to be really creative and think of the next big CANApp!
We don't just want a name – we need you to tell us what it's used for, how it will work, and what utility it will add to the CanYa Ecosystem. We are looking for well-reasoned dApp proposals.
This one will require a fair bit of effort to separate yourself from the pack. There will only be one prize awarded, but its a good one! The prize will include development of the CANApp (if suitable and applicable), a footnote naming reference to the winner and 1000CAN!
1. Think about being a service provider or a user of the CanYa ecosystem and what utility you would need most?
2. Now that you have an idea – give it a name, CAN…….
3. Explain the purpose of the dApp – what it's function is, e.g. CANShare – a way of sharing files with anyone, anywhere, that is free and immutable.
4. Now you need to explain how it will work. Provide as much detail as possible as to the steps involved in using the dApp. Sample screenshots may even be beneficial. Remember, you are submitting a proposal to the CanYa team to develop an app for the ecosystem that is designed by you. This is your chance to shine!
5. Once you've got your proposal together, send it directly to @johanlives or any of our mods in our Telegram portal.
The CanYa Team and Moderators will select the best entry – which will be selected on creativity and usefulness to the existing CanYa ecosystem.
If the winning app is pegged for active development there will be no set time frame for its launch. It will be scheduled into our busy development schedule and completed as soon as practical. Remember though, the winning entry will need to pass the internal CanYa standards before it will be approved for development.
All entries will be deemed to be the property of CanYa and any, or all entries may in time be developed into CANApps. Put your thinking hats on, sharpen your pencils and we can't wait to see your entries!


Discussion in 'General' started by LadyK, Jan 30, 2015.
Yep...I put the total under gross receipts and boom...I go from refund to owing a bunch.
I was wondering about that too. I took a closer look at what changes. When you increase a couple thousand in income the amount of tax credits and deductions curtail a noticeable amount. And if you are getting your health insurance with subsidies that couple thousand puts you further away from what you estimated when you applied for that subsidy. A couple thousand difference can give the illusion of a 350+ dollar difference easily with just the healthcare insurance subsidy issue. I imagine the further under 30,000 you are the more of an effect a couple thousand has.
I have a question regarding filing taxes for Mturk. What information do you have to put for the Business name and address?
I used Amazon Mechanical Turk as business name.
I used my own address because that's where I work.
If you prefer to use their address, you can Google that.
You put down your own address if you are working from home. If you put down Amazon's address you might get audited. Since this is self employment you can use your own name for the business and some sort of description of crowdsourcing and information processing as appropriate for the question.
What information do you have to put for the Business name and address?
"Business name: If no separate business name, leave blank"
So just leave those lines blank unless you have incorporated, and/or turk from an office away from home.
Ok. This tax stuff is really hurting my brain. I thought it would be easy but looking at this makes me want to let a professional do it. What do I put for the Payer's information. I don't feel like I'm doing this right at all.
If you mean the payer of of your mturk income you shouldn't have to enter any info. If over $420 or so, took a decent amount of work and was intended for profit the IRS considers it self employment and subject to an extra 15% tax that goes to social security and medicare. You need to file schedules c and se in that case.
As others have recommended, try taxact.com software. Their program will walk you through the steps and fill out all the required forms. The federal program is free and so is the e-filing. If you go that route, you will enter your mturk pay in the "business income" section.
Okay I have been on here too long to just now be figuring this out but I have made too much to ignore this now, can someone just tell me roughly about how much of each week's earnings should be put back, which I guess translates to what percentage of my turk income as a turk-only earner will I be expected to pay? Is it just 15%, or more? I plan on getting a tax guy at the end of the year but need to know what I should be putting away now.
It depends. Assuming you aren't at the cap for social security/ medicare contributions which is something like 100k a year total, you have to contribute both the employee and employer portion of those taxes. That comes out to a little over 15%. After that you still have to pay standard taxes as though it was income so would depend on your tax bracket. So 15%+whatever your tax bracket is.
I've been lurking this forum for a while as a worker and now am considering using mturk as a requestor (for research in grad school). As noone in my school has ever used mturk for research before, I'm kind of being a guinea pig. After getting hit hard by the commission changes (wtf Amazon?) I'm concerned if there are any other hidden fees I should let my school know about before requesting their funding. Namely do I have to pay any taxes as a requestor?
As far as I'm aware all tax liability is the responsibility of the worker.
Wow this seems to be really confusing, So I wonder if you make a few hundred dollars if it will help with your tax return if you are claiming a child. Unemployed is horrible.
O.k. so After reading the entire thread i think I am going to quit turking. I am unemployed and going to school and if I make a grand or a little more and end up having to pay back 4 hundred of it then it is not really worth it it seems.
If you're owing 400 dollars on 1000 with no other income, thus putting you in the lowest possible tax bracket, then you're doing it wrong. Trust me, you do not owe 40% in taxes unless your state's taxes are absurd (my state doesn't have an income tax, which isn't all good: sales tax puts a greater portion of the tax burden on the poor). The standard deduction would take care of most of your federal tax liability (max of 6,300 for most U.S. residents).
And if that's the case, the added 8% in taxes from the self employment taxes would mean that you probably wouldn't even earn enough from entry level employment for it to be worth it.
Such is the way in the United States, I guess.
Do all of you do the quarterly tax reporting for self employed? I'm just now starting to make enough money on turk to have to consider doing this in 2016. It seems very complex and annoying but it seems like it's supposed to be "mandatory" or else we get some kind of fines/have to pay even extra on yearly taxes if we don't do it. But if no one's talking about it here, it seems like maybe no one is doing it?
Never thought of that using Turbo tax.

I went to the Monett Burger King at 5: 45 no one was in the Drive-Thru two people inside and I sat there for 20 minutes waiting for my food. a young woman comes out and tells me that it's going to be three more minutes on my chicken sandwiches and I said okay great it's already been 20 minutes.
A few minutes go by and still no french fries so I go inside. She hasn't even told anybody that she needs my fries. so now it's up to 30 minutes I'm waiting on my food, they can't get it correct and nobody said sorry, not one person. In fact, I'm pretty sure they thought it was funny. I asked for a receipt because they didn't give me a receipt in the first place, so I could let someone know about the terrible service I received.
I said is this the correct receipt so I can take a survey and the guy says I guess, smirks and turns away. I made sure that they knew that their service was pathetic bc clearly they thought it was so funny. The lobby was disgusting, trash all over the tables and floors. Outside looked just as bad. the fries I did receive were old and cold and the burgers are thrown together like crap. Spent $35 I guess just to get treated like garbage and to get terrible food and service. I will never come back to that Burger King again but of course, I'm sure none of the employees care.

In Pursuit of Nothing

A unique Rice mindfulness program entices a busy mom to trade workday routines for a respite in the Appalachian Mountains.

"You can never have too much sky."— Sandra Cisneros
We stepped out of the woods into the sunshine and were immediately swarmed by gnats, likely attracted by the collective stench of our merry band of hikers. Finding a place to set up and eat our lunch in peace was going to be a challenge. Our long morning hike sharpened my appetite, and I was ready to take off my outer layers — until the gnats attacked!
One of the guides shouted from somewhere above us. An observation tower offered our group the perfect place to sit and break bread — high above the clouds of gnats and with magnificent views of the forest canopy and mountain ridges. But there was yellow caution tape wrapped around the tower's base, and it was a steep climb up a narrow steel stairway. My acrophobia reared its head as, one by one, my fellow hikers ducked under the tape and ascended the open stairs. Did I really come this far to let an irrational fear of falling and a little caution tape stop me now?
Just a week earlier, a casual conversation with my friend and colleague, Elizabeth Slator, led to an impulsive decision to book a flight to Asheville, N.C. Elizabeth was leading a group on a retreat named Rediscover Your Wild Side. I swooned at her description of the mindfulness retreat in the wilderness, and she assured me it wasn't too late to join the group. My brain immediately generated a dozen reasons why I couldn't go, but a little voice inside was whispering the phrase made famous by Nike, "Just do it."
Life had been so loud and so fast recently that the prospect of getting away from the noise and escaping the swirl of responsibilities was alluring. As a working mom of three, going away for five days on my own seemed ridiculously selfish and irresponsible. There was no way to rationalize this trip as benefiting work or family. Neither was it a girlfriend trip nor a romantic getaway. It was just me doing something for me. Like a computer with too many windows open and too many programs running, I just wanted to shut it all down and find a hard reset. The "great escape" (as I privately renamed the trip) presented a rare and fleeting opportunity.
Before I could change my mind, I booked a flight to Asheville. I pulled out a suitcase as a visual reminder of an act that felt rebellious. For good measure, I temporarily deleted my work email account from my phone. In the airport terminal, I texted my husband and kids to remind them that I really would be out of pocket and off duty.

From the Asheville airport, we drove a few hours to our campsite, where we were greeted by a row of yurts peeking out from the pristine expanse of the Appalachian Mountains. A refurbished barn served as communal space and shelter. The stream running along one side of the property was swollen and dark from recent rains. No website or travel brochure could have done the place justice.
For five glorious days, my life slowed down. No multitasking, no electronics, no hurried meals while carpooling to lacrosse games and violin lessons. No meetings and no deadlines. My world contracted and expanded at the same time. The only residents of this small world were the eight other Rice colleagues who signed up for the trip — Norma, Cindy, Catherine, George, Anthea, Kris, Rebecca and Elizabeth, our leader.
Every day, we fell into an easy and natural rhythm. Sunlight filtering into my yurt woke me before the alarm. Journaling and meditation before breakfast. Long hikes through the woods and quiet conversations around the campfire. Sipping yerba mate in the morning and playing cards at night. Fireflies dancing in the fields and stars glinting at us from above. A stunning double rainbow bridging the stream after a sudden summer shower. Birdsong every morning and crackling fires before bedtime. Each day was a feast for the senses.
By the third day, I was awakening to the realization that I am so often driven to be a planner, to make decisions, to manage schedules or to direct other people. I am focused and strategic and attempt to squeeze the most out of every day. By escaping from my daily life and routine, I was learning how to be still and to shift from doing to being. How to surrender control and be open to what comes next. It felt uncomfortable and unfamiliar. It was also liberating.
Without the usual distractions and work and family obligations, I had the energy and the bandwidth to have deeper conversations with people. It has been 25 years since I graduated from Rice, and I still find my Rice friends and colleagues to be the most intellectually interesting people to converse with. They think and care deeply and make me want to be a better version of myself. It seems too obvious to point out, but the lack of electronics and limited electricity created an intimacy and sense of connection that is increasingly elusive in our 24/7 plugged-in world.
On our last day, a planned rafting trip was canceled due to rough waters. We devised a plan B and took a long, beautiful drive along quiet country roads until crossing the state line. The hiking trail took us deep into the woods where the air was cool and reverent. It was as if I had crossed the bridge to Terabithia, into a magical sanctuary of my imagination. After three hours of hiking, we arrived at a shallow brook into which we plunged our tired feet to cool off. We waded into the stream to build cairns with the wide, flat rocks harvested from the riverbed. One by one, the teetering towers arose from the water, memorializing the beauty of God's creation and reminding us that slowing down to be mindful can bring our lives back into balance.

I love my job at the Doerr Institute, a mission-driven startup committed to developing the next generation of leaders. Each new year brings more students, more opportunities and more work to do. I thrive on challenges and my brain buzzes with adrenaline when I'm getting things done. But like many Rice students, I often get swept along in the fast-moving rapids of productivity, losing sight of priorities and skimming along the surface of relationships.
At first, this great escape felt like a reckless indulgence, but it gave me some much-needed perspective on my work, my relationships, and my daily habits and impulses. It also recharged my battery in a way that no ordinary vacation, packed with relational expectations and logistical needs, could have done.
I often come home from travels with a rock or two in my bag. They end up on my nightstand, next to my office computer, on the edge of the bathtub or in the bottom of my purse. I hold the cool weight and remember where I first saw it, what I was doing when I found it and who I was with when I stooped to pick it up.
A striped metamorphic chunk from a state park we visited now sits on my desk at work. It tells the story of millions of years of collision and compression between continental plates. It symbolizes the complicated and layered beauty that is forged under heat and pressure. It takes me back to that cool forest stream where it first caught my eye. It instills a dose of quiet and calm when the noise and chaos begin to rise around me. And it's a quiet reminder of the importance of replenishing my own body and spirit so I can continue to give myself to the people and work I love.

Q: write to specific rows in excel csv file python without overwriting other columns. python I have a csv file with formulas in columns 4, 5 and 6,
I also want to import data from the python program into columns 1, 2 & 3.
however every time i do this using the write or append functions like so, the file just overwrites the formula's in 4,5 & 6.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
from cv2 import cv2 as cv2
import numpy as np
import time
import math
import csv
from csv import DictWriter

#Reading the file first will check to make sure the file exists in the corresponding name format.
with open('wagonFrontData.csv', 'r') as userFile:
    userFileReader = csv.reader(userFile)

# Note: when writing to a csv file the already existing file must be closed before working with the program
with open('wagonFrontData.csv', 'r', newline='') as f:
    fieldnames=['X_Old', 'Y_Old','X_New', 'Y_New']
    theWriter=csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=fieldnames)
    # theWriter.writeheader()

#Function for appending data to the csv file.

def append_dict_as_row(file_name, dict_of_elem, field_names):
    # Open file in append mode
    with open(file_name, 'a+', newline='') as write_obj:
        # Create a writer object from csv module
        dict_writer = DictWriter(write_obj, fieldnames=field_names)
        # Add dictionary as wor in the csv
        dict_writer.writerow(dict_of_elem)

# specify the csv file to write to.
# parameter values https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_func_open.asp
# https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html
while(1):

    XOld=[1,2,3,4]
    YOld=[2,3,4,5]
    XNew=[3,6,7,8]
    YNew=[4,4,6,7]

    for i in range(0, len(XOld)):
        row=({'X_Old':(XOld[i]), 'X_New':(XNew[i]), 'Y_Old':(YOld[i]), 'Y_New':(YNew[i])})
        # print(row)
        append_dict_as_row('wagonFrontData.csv',row,fieldnames)

A: Welcome to Stack Overflow! The problem you described doesn't match the code you provided. I will provide here a solution to the problem you described:

*

*You want to keep de values from columns 4, 5, 6

*You want to insert new values in column 1, 2, 3

It is really not recommended to read and write to a file at the same time (unless you really know what you are doing). So here in my solution, I will write to a temporary file and when everything is finished, I will rename that temporary file to the name of the original file to overwrite it. I'm also presuming that the values you want to insert in the 3 first columns are found in the variable values_generated_to_insert_in_output
import csv
import os

values_generated_to_insert_in_output = [
    ['missile', 'claim', 'winter'],
    ['screw', 'mill', 'mean'],
    ['privilege', 'deadly', 'tap'],
    ['conference', 'intermediate', 'tune'],
]

with open('wagonFrontData.csv', newline='') as input_file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(input_file)
    with open('output_file.csv', 'w', newline='') as output_file:
        csv_writer = csv.writer(output_file)
        for (old_colums, new_colums) in zip(csv_reader,
                                            values_generated_to_insert_in_output):
            row_to_output = list(new_colums).extend(old_colums[3:6])
            csv_writer.writerow(row_to_output)

os.replace('output_file.csv', 'wagonFrontData.csv')

Is that what you wanted to do?

N.A.S.A. says the morning star (Rev. 22: 16), and the evening star, are the planet Venus. To the untrained eye, planets do look like stars. Venus is the first star (really a planet) seen most evenings, and as the Morning Star seen latest in the morning. It is much brighter then any of the other stars, because it is not a star, it's a planet. Venus is much closer to the Earth and the Sun then stars are and because of it's thick cloud cover it reflects a lot of Sun light making it shine very bright like a star. That is why you can still see the Morning Star for about 15 minutes after the other stars have faded away each morning. In the olden days people worked from Sun up to Sun down. The morning star was often the first thing a person saw each day. Like the Morning star Jesus should be the first thing in our lives each day, standing out above everything else. Starting the day with the Root and Source of your power and strength will change you into a power filled child of God. It will fill you with the presence of Jesus and strengthen you for the day that lays ahead.


My baby's back from Hong Kong!
Jono has been away since Monday on his annual Google conference and this year, the event was held in Hong Kong. Much as I would have loved to join Jono on his trip (since I've never been to Hong Kong), we've several upcoming holidays so couldn't really afford me taking more time off work. I have to say I was pretty impressed at how much ground he covered in just a few days - I gave Jono a list of things to do/see/eat and he had nearly checked all of them off, including lining up at one Michelin star Tim Ho Wan for dim sum (I'm SO jealous!). We'll have to make another trip to Hong Kong so I get to experience it all!
There are several versions of the story from which the term 'wife cake' came about and the most popular is this: There was a poor but loving couple living during imperial China. One day the husband's father became sick and the wife knowing well they could not afford the medicine went and sold herself to slavery in exchange for the money. The husband in learning this made a cake filled with sweet winter melon and almond, dedicating it to the memory of his wife and sold it on the streets. The 'wife cake' became so popular that he earned enough money to not only cure his father but also buy his wife back.
According to Jono, the Cutie Wife Cake comes in several varieties and he decided to get me one with Red Bean & Chestnut Paste Filling. A quick look at the Wing Wah website tells me you can also get the cakes in varieties including White Lotus, Green Tea, Honey and Pineapple. I've had 'wife cake' a couple of times growing up in Malaysia and frankly, I never really like them - the ones you get in Malaysia are quite large and has a thick flaky and powdery crust, the filling made with chunks of candied melon sometimes too sweet for my tastebuds, and an overdose of five spice powder. Oh, but THIS one is GOOD (and it's not just because my husband bought it) and tasted nothing like the ones I've had before. The single-serve Cutie Wife Cake is only 6.5 cm in diameter and has a thin sweet flaky pastry filled with a good proportion of red bean and chestnut paste. I like that it wasn't overly sweet and if you read the print on the box, it actually says that top grade New Zealand honey is added. Hmm, interesting...The box also came with cooking directions - it needs cooking??? Though you can have it straight out of the pack, if you follow the instructions and zap the cake in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium power, it totally makes a difference - now the Cutie Wife Cake taste as if freshly baked from the oven!
Thank you husband for the cakes!
Love moon cakes, haven't had any in ages though!
How thoughtful!!!! Hong Kong is a great place, loads of eateries and cheap dim sum places!! You should go there, you'd love it !!!
Was lovely meeting you at the picnic!

Virginia church choir performs at Carnegie Hall
The world premiere of composer/conductor Joseph Martin's Christmas Evergreen with the Distinguished Concerts Orchestra and Singers as well as his festive work Christmas Dreams took place in New York City on Nov. 17 at Carnegie Hall. One of the featured choirs was from Chester UMC in Chester led by music director Josh Wortham. There were over 200 voices featured with a full orchestra. The choir and Wortham were thrilled to be a part. Typically, choirs are told to submit auditions for these types of events and only a small percentage get an audition to participate. The church choir was actually discovered on YouTube and they were invited to join. "Words cannot describe the feeling of singing on a stage where the world's finest performers have performed," Wortham said. "I saw God on the faces of friends and strangers all weekend. I heard God whisper in quiet moments in Carnegie Hall and I watched the Spirit dance as inspired music filled the hall. In the midst of rehearsal and performance alike, I know that God's heart smiled with delight as we declared the mystery and miracle of Christmas."

Special Sunday: United Methodist Student Day is Nov. 24
Celebrate United Methodist Student Day Sunday on a date that is convenient for your congregation. Official date: Nov. 24, 2019 but you can pick a date of your choosing as well. Across the country, the people of The United Methodist Church are serving the people God loves in Jesus' name. We're doing it at home, but so often we'd like to do more.
-We want to serve those in other places who are suffering.
-We want to offer spiritual words of hope and life.
-And we want to be well-equipped to do both!
But the reality for most of us is that our responsibilities—home, family, work—don't allow us to engage with every need we'd like to meet. Right now there are UMC young people—who might not have had the resources to attend a school of their choice, or, for some, any school at all—who've been sent by you into the world God loves because of your giving to United Methodist Student Day.

Group of bishops calling for 'deeper conversations'
Eight United Methodist bishops are calling for a new form of unity amid differences over human sexuality that seem to be pushing The United Methodist Church toward a split. Bishops Scott J. Jones, Eduard Khegay, Michael Lowry and Mark J. Webb, along with retired Bishops Lindsey Davis, Alfred W. Gwinn Jr., Robert E. Hayes Jr. and Young Jin Cho, signed a statement and offered it to the church calling for "deeper conversations regarding new expressions of Methodist witness." They asked United Methodists who agree with the statement to sign it. "It is time to be honest about our current reality," reads the statement. "The events since the adjournment of the Special Session of General Conference illustrate how deep our division is. Sadly, even greater discord, chaos and fighting loom on the horizon at the 2020 General Conference in Minneapolis." More...
Central Conference Bishops wholeheartedly support proposal for a U.S. Regional Conference
At last week's Council of Bishops Meeting, the United Methodist Central Conference College of Bishops stated that they will promote and solidly support the Connectional Table's (CT's) legislation to General Conference 2020 that will create a new structure for churches in the United States. This structure will be called the United States Regional Conference. The central conference bishops made this decision at their meeting on November 1, then shared the decision with the entire Council of Bishops on November 6 following the CT's presentation to the full council. The full council had previously affirmed the CT proposal. In addition, the central conference bishops asked their steering committee to invite representatives of the CT to present their proposal to central conference delegates to General Conference. "I am grateful for the strong support of the Central Conference bishops for the proposal for the U.S. as a regional conference," said Bishop Christian Alsted, Chair of the Connectional Table and bishop of the Nordic and Baltic Episcopal area. "I believe this proposal will enable us to live more fully as a worldwide church. It will give the U.S. church a structure to deal with its unique missional challenges and to do its visionary, strategic and administrative work. The Central Conference bishops know the value of being able to make adaptations and to supplement the general Book of Discipline, and I believe they wish to extend this privilege to the entire church. Furthermore, this will free the general conference to focus its work on worldwide concerns and to become a forum that leads the church forward in God's mission." More...
Help sought to save historic church, cemeteries
Ramiro Ramirez traveled with his wife and family from southwest Texas just to tell the story of how the border wall threatens Jackson Chapel United Methodist Church and two cemeteries. They told the story for anyone who would listen, but especially for members of the U.S. Congress. The Ramirez family stood in front of the U.S. Capitol during an early cold spell Nov. 14, and again told their story — this time with help. Four members of Congress spoke, as did members of grassroots advocacy organizations and a district superintendent from The United Methodist Church. Ramirez, a longtime United Methodist, holds the deed of two cemeteries and a building – Jackson Chapel United Methodist Church in San Juan, Texas, just east of McAllen. The church is right on the Mexico/United States border. Ramirez's great-grandfather, Martin Jackson, built the chapel on the property in 1874. Ramirez has relatives buried in the cemeteries going back generations and he and his wife plan to be buried there, too. But he's unsure, now, if he'll be able to visit those relatives in the future, or if his descendants will be able to visit his grave. That's because the proposed border wall between Mexico and the United States would split the cemeteries in two. More...

Here Is A List of All Monsters, Inc. Characters!
By Aarya On Nov 15, 2022
In this article, we will discuss the topics like "Monsters Inc Characters" and Here Is A List of All Monsters, Inc Characters! Therefore, if this is something that piques your curiosity, stick with us.
List Of The Main Characters Appearing in Monsters, Inc. (Selected)
Celia Mae
Smitty and Needleman
Thaddeus Bile
Ms. Flint
Jerry Slugworth
Boo sneaks in during Randall's late-night Scare Floor operations. Sulley tries to free her but fails, so he puts her in a duffel bag.
Boo worries Harryhausen's customers when Sulley tells Mike, so the CDA "decontaminates" the restaurant. Mike and Sulley find out she's not poisonous. The next day, they dress her up as one of Sulley's relatives' kids and try to send her home. Sulley and Boo don't trust Randall, so he kidnaps Mike. Sulley assists Mike. Boo wasn't afraid of Sulley after Mike and he escaped Randall, but his roar scared her.
Waternoose took Mike and Sulley to the Himalayas as they sought to take Boo home. Sulley saves Boo from Randall's Scream Extractor. Breakdown. Throughout the chase, Boo's laughter opens vault doors. Boo stops fearing Randall and fights him. Waternoose and the CDA lock Boo's door. Sulley snatches Boo's door as Mike distracts the CDA. Unintentionally, Waternoose follows. Waternoose's plan is found and he's arrested. Roz, CDA's hidden leader, gives Sulley and Mike five minutes to save Boo. Sulley and Mike shredded Boo's door to protect her. Boo can't find Sulley in her closet. Mike informs Sulley he mended Boo's door but it needs one more part (the one taped to his clipboard). Sulley inserts the final piece, unlocks the door, and finds Boo.
Celia Mae resembles a cyclops gorgon. Her hair and legs are purple snakes. She wears a gill-printed green dress with a blue-green fur collar. She works at Monsters, Inc. as Mike Wazowski's receptionist. Mike and Celia celebrate Celia's birthday at Harryhausen's, a Japanese sushi restaurant. A small girl arrives in just before the CDA raids the restaurant and creates an energy dome. Celia was one of the decontaminated creatures. She and her snake's hair had to wear neck cones after being decontaminated, which humiliated her.
Sulley stopped Mike from helping. The next day, Celia confronts Mike. While scolding him, she mistakenly reveals Mike's involvement in the night before's event to Randall. Celia threatened to break up with Mike as he and Sulley were being hunted by Randall. Celia didn't believe Mike when he said they were trying to get Boo back to her room until Boo came over Sulley's shoulder and startled her. She uses Randall's Scare Record as a distraction once she calms down. She's seen at the end. Mike and she have reconciled. She tells him magazines arrived. Mike's cover surprise her and him.
Even though Celia doesn't appear in Monsters University, a picture of her can be seen in Mike's locker room. Near the end of the movie, Mike hangs a new picture of himself and Sulley on their first day as a Scarer Team next to a picture of Celia.
When Roz puts Mike and Sulley in charge of the company in the TV show Monsters at Work, Mike gives Celia the job of floor supervisor.
Randall's red, three-eyed helper is Fungus. Even though Randall was partnered with Fungus, he seemed to be annoyed by his actions and would often treat him badly and tell him what to do. Fungus is also scared of Randall's behaviour and his part in Waternoose's plan to kidnap human children and forcefully take their screams. However, he doesn't confront Randall because he feels either blackmailed or too scared to do so, and he is secretly glad that Mike and Sulley are stopping the evil plan.
When Randall tries to use Mike as a test subject for the extraction machine, Sulley puts Fungus on the chair and saves Mike. The fact that the scream machine makes Fungus almost unconscious and turns him white shows that it chokes its victims. In the end, after Randall was defeated and Waternoose was arrested, Fungus was forgiven for his part. He now works as Mike's assistant and makes kids laugh to get more power.
Needleman and Smitty are two silly monsters who work for Monsters, Inc. as maintenance and errand monsters. They both bow down to Sulley and worship the ground he walks on. One of their jobs at Monsters, Inc. is to run the Door Shredder, which is a machine that looks like a wood chipper and shreds the doors of kids who don't fear monsters.
In one of the film's outtakes, Smitty calls Sullivan "Solomon," and in another, the Door Shredder shreds the door too quickly. It then runs backstage with them holding on to it, almost destroying the backstage props and equipment.
Thaddeus Bile is a Scarer trainee whose nickname is "Phlegm." He looks like a dinosaur and has different colours on each of his arms and hands, spikes on the back of his head, and a spiked tail club. He botched up his training by leaving the door open and getting terrified by the simulation child (voiced by Lisa Raggio), causing him to trip on a soccer ball and fall on some jacks. By the time the factory starts to switch to laugh power, he is working on Scare Floor F, where he has made children laugh by slipping on a soccer ball and falling on some jacks while also using a skateboard in his act.
Ms. Flint is a woman who works at Monsters, Inc. She is in charge of the simulation tests that monsters have to pass to become scarers. Ms. Flint is a tall monster with fins on her eyes. She has long, sharp claws and a long, snake-like tail. She wears a black jacket. Monsters at Work shows that her daughter's name is Thalia (voiced by Hadley Gannaway).
Jerry Slugworth is a floor manager for Scare Floor F. He is a red monster with blue stripes in the middle and thick maroon around his body and legs. He has seven fingers.
Tony is a tall, slender orange monster with a moustache, four tentacles for arms and five shorter tentacles for legs. He is a grocer who works at Tony's Grocery. The first time Mike and Sulley see him, he is telling them that someone is about to break the All-Scare Record and throwing blood oranges at them while wishing them luck.
Ted is the biggest monster in the movie. He is so big that only his legs, which look like elephant legs and are covered with big, rough brown scales, are shown. He mostly talks with chicken noises, but in a baseball-themed short that he's in, he roars. Also, he is shown at a crossroads waiting for the light to change with Mike and Sulley. Sulley says "good morning" to him, and he crows back. The light turns green, and Ted stomps across the road, making an earthquake with each step. After the meeting, Mike is not happy with Sulley because, despite Ted's size, Sulley points out that Ted walked to work. His point was that they should too, but Mike, who just wanted to drive his red sports car, told him that he was mad.

Air Jordan Ultra Fly 2 Performance Review
Air Jordan Sneakers
Air Jordan UltraFly2
It has already roused a hot and amazing pursuit since the first day this Air Jordan UltraFly2 was released. Upon its advent, many people might be "lurking" somewhere, preparing to cop one pair of this Air Jordan UltraFly2. However, the fact fails many people for the amount of this model is greatly limited, thus making some sneaker fans can only dream of it but can not get it. But irrespective of the fact, we are still going to get a detailed look at it.
Surely, the settings of a shoe is of important. And with all the tech included, this Air Jordan UltraFly2 is truly a bang for your buck. But on the other hand, the appearance is of course important as well as the settings, isn't it?
From my own perspective, this shoe's appearance can be said to be one of the leaders and the top one of its series. But "one coin has two sides". Despite its good-looking, for the colorway of this one, it can easily get dirty, thus resulting in wiping every now and then so as to keep its purity. Therefore, if you are fortunate enough to grab one pair, you'll need to spend some time dealing with it.
Feeling amazing on-foot, the upper is an engineered knit and a one-piece construction. And it is likely that some people might not enjoy the overall fit because of the one-piece construction. According to some, they enjoy quite a lot the solid lockdown and support provided by the shoe and have never run into any slippage since the shoes are well padded. For me, being able to get a chance to try it, I feel like wearing a knitted shoe while with the reinforcement of an upper constructed of TPU, it is a very nice blend between the two and it feels pretty well balanced.
For the laces, it is a regular version——nothing special in it. But common as it is, the shoe's wrapping would not have facilitated had the designer not installed the laces in the shoe.
According to some testers, they exclaim that the shoes are very hard and annoying to put on for the opening is small, and it doesn't stretch much. Then there is no need worrying about this: at the rear part of it, there is also a collar which helps you wear in. It really does a great help. Some reviewers also said that Air Jordan UltraFly2's wrapping is the best they've ever come across. To sum up, not only is the materials durable, but the wrapping also performs exceptionally.
As is seen in the image, there is a tag attached in the insole, showing some basic information of the shoe.
Well, looking at the outsole pattern, it seems to be very awesome. Then how about the performance? Dainty designed and made of rubber, the outsole is very durable first of all. If you are quite into outdoor court which are coarse as well, then you'll get surprised at its excellent performance, and you've got a long-term comrade as well.
I know that many people say the traction is on point of a shoe. Well, they are right. But for a good outsole, players would not have got a wonderful experience. I should say that the outsole performs very well. It just does what it should do——hugs the floor tightly when needed and does not when there is no need. On clean and semi-dusty courts, indoors or outdoors, it always grips very well. But there are some cases in which it can not hold up well, for instance, on dusty courts, and thus it invites dust quickly; therefore, wiping the upper, as is said before, along with the outsole frequently is required.
When it comes to the cushion setting, Ultra.Fly 2 installs heel and forefoot Zoom Air. It said that the cushion is greatly appreciated and it feels splendid. Whoever is able to own it would think highly of it. Wearing it on court, you can apparently feel the bouncy feedback offered by the cushion. And above all, the feeling is fantastic, which is like stepping on a pillow. But, there is always a but: the shoe is somewhat heavy. And I also once saw in some reviews that it is bulky too. However, with a number of fans appreciating it, I would not regard it as a deal breaker.
Finally, let us turn toward the fit. If regardless of the other aspects, in most cases, it is the fit that matters most, and the fit is also a key factor when consumers are buying shoes. Noted by a number of reviewers that Air Jordan UltraFly2 wears super comfortable and feels like a sock and I myself think so. Besides, it even makes you forget that you are actually wearing something. If you are willing to get along with it, you may just find it creeping into your regular rotation after some period of time.Well, definitely, it can't designed to please everyone, but surely, it caters to both big guards and big men.
So remarkably does it performs that I am totally obsessed with it. To summary, the Jordan Ultra.Fly 2 is a solid all-around performer. And above all, the truth has proven it to be an excellent model.

In high school they told me get a BA. Got the BA, that's not enough get MA. Dreaded it but I got a MA. Got a MA now its you need a credential to complement your MA. If you get the PHD then you will be competitive.
Ain't this about a blip…If you are new to my blog Hi,welcome. But I am currently looking for a position in the education and or social services field. I want to support and encourage youth to be the best that they can be. Sounds cliche ….huh I know …I know but that's where my heart is.
I have been putting in my applications. I have been getting calls, interviews, second round interviews but these are for the more entry level positions. I want the main position not the assistant position.
That grinds my gears every time because I thought what I got was enough but I guess not. Now I'm staring down the barrel of the gun called graduate school again. Dilemma is do I get 1 or the other or get both?
Be a step ahead in life. Always check out whats needed now and what maybe needed in the future because requirments change we need to be prepared for that.
Do both or just 1? Or not at all? Is there another way to become a school psychogist?
I don't know what it's like where you live, but in my city it is also awfully difficult to find a job, even with a degree or degrees. Hang in there. If you believe you are meant for this you can sell yourself on your enthusiasm and passion for the job!

Since forming in 2007, The Cool Kids have wowed audience after audience and consistently evolved a golden-era hip-hop influenced sound into a sonic realm inhabited solely by themselves and their associates. It's quite refreshing to listen to Chicago's Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish go brazy over their homemade beats, as that's what brought them together in the first place. Originally, Mikey and Chuck were planning to be producers selling beats, but a fruitful session in 2005 inspired them to become their own wordsmiths. The first step for them was making their sound known, so they turned to MySpace, releasing song after song and two mixtapes that gave them the cult following necessary to catch the attention of Pitchfork Music Festival, who gave them a slot in the summer of 07'. That performance lionized The Cool Kids as underground kings, which brought their visibility up to the peaks of the music industry, catchng the attention of Flosstradamus, Diplo and A-Trak, who signed them to Fool's Gold Records to release the single "88'". Once they dropped their infamous "The Bake Sale" EP, their hometown and fans from all over had "Black Mags" memorized and skinny peach jeans and a sense of freedom in music once thought extinct.
After a tour with M.I.A, a slew of heavy hitting collabs with the likes of Drake, Mac Miller, Lil Wayne, and Ghostface Killah, licensing deals with NBA 2K and HBO's Entourage, and a Rhapsody commericial, The Cool Kids were essentially household names, and upon the release of their album When Fish Ride Bicycles, seemed to have the world at their fingertips. However, disputes with their original management team about the creative direction sucked the joy from the duo, and they split up to avoid letting it become personal. They individually released music under their solo names to keep their artistry intact, and made various moves around the industry to keep their toes in the soil.
Now, Propelr Music is proud to have partnered with the newly-reformed The Cool Kids to release their comeback LP, "Special Edition Grandmaster Deluxe". which "features the same barrier-breaking, revolutionary hip hop that cemented their status as legends in the first place, but with a new-school, high gloss finish."
