If you were to look at the URL of this blog, you would find that the odd name of 'the1iam' being used here. You might be wondering why that is being used, or why takhsiru.blogspot.com points to my anime blog instead of here, or the current @THE1IAM user on twitter is someone else.
Well, it dates back to when I created this blog in 2006 and that name was chosen simply I couldn't think of a creative original name. In fact, 'the1iam' was the name I used when I first signed up for twitter. Long time followers of me there would also notice that I used 'asuna888' between that and now. Unlike quitting, changing the username also means that the former username is available to others. This means that my former usernames has been snatched up by other people on twitter: 'the1iam' by an African man, and 'asuna888' by (fortunately) my sister. I had used 'takhsiru' since 2010.
So, why did I use 'takhsiru' for the anime blog instead of here? Simple: I had written quite a number of posts since it was created (as mentioned above) in 2006 and contains quite a number of inter-blog links., and I don't want imposters using my username.
Yes, I actually had imposters copying me in the past. This was also around the time I started twitter. They copied everything I had newly posted there back then like my blog stories, and even the blog layout, every single word. (An odd thing I noticed when they copied from the Japanese version was that when I typed 私, they would change it to 我 instead. I've also noticed some simplified Chinese-only kanji being used too.) What annoyed me even more was that I saw comments by others of the things the imposter copied from me as their own work. To be sure, first publications of posts since then had a trap for them where, if copied blindly, would not be noticed, and I would quietly remove the traps for them after they copied mine. Sure enough, they did copy me with the "trap" included. Fortunately, they couldn't copy me on Twitter and I've never heard anything from that imposter since the New Year's Day of 2010.
As pointed out by my followers at the time I changed the username from 'asuna888' to 'takhsiru', they think that the former was better than the latter. I've been thinking about it, but I couldn't think of anything as I'm bad with coming up with a unique never-used-before names that is short, and does not have numbers in them.


The business realities of the WNBA often send players overseas during the league's offseason. They can make significantly more money playing in Europe over the winter but eschew offseason rest in doing so.
This NBA season, Washington Mystics guard Kristi Toliver instead accepted an offer to work as an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards under Scott Brooks.
Due to NBA and WNBA regulations, Toliver will earn just $10,000 for her high-profile role.
"It wasn't an easy decision," Toliver told the New York Times' Howard Megdal. "For me, I looked at the pros and the cons, the pros obviously being I get to rest my body, it being my first time in 10 years of not playing year-round, not going overseas.
"Obviously there are financial burdens that come with that, but this is also a very exciting opportunity that I want to take advantage of, being home, still being around the game, around the best players in the world, around the best coaches in the world."
The small salary is because the Mystics and Wizards fall under the same ownership. League rules dictate that any pay Toliver was to receive for the NBA job would count toward the $50,000 capped total each WNBA team is allocated to pay players for offseason work.
Because Toliver's Mystics teammate Elena Delle Donne is of the WNBA's biggest stars, most of that money had been allocated for her promotional purposes.
The average WNBA player's salary in 2017 was $71,000 with a minimum of about $50,000. Many in the league have become increasingly vocal about the relatively low pay, with some recently slamming a proposal to give G League players a large raise.
In August, the Las Vegas Aces had to forfeit a game against the Mystics after a 26-hour, delay-riddled, cross-country flight odyssey. Unlike other professional clubs and even many college sports teams, WNBA teams fly commercial.

Q: Binding a DataTable to a DataGrid shows empty rows I want to bind a datatable to a datagrid in wpf. This datagrid shows columns header right, the right number of rows, but rows are empty.
When i debug my datatable (with that : https://stackoverflow.com/a/18353683/4632606) i have a correct datatable:
--- DebugTable() ---
07/08/2014           |
---------------------|-
0,0186               |
0,035                |
---------------------|-

And my datagrid have the correct header "07/08/2014" and 2 empty rows.
Here is my DataGrid Xaml:
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="true" ItemsSource="{Binding Table}"></DataGrid>

What i'm missing?
UPDATE:
I saw that in output :

System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: '07'
  property not found on 'object' ''DataRowView' (HashCode=32322646)'.
  BindingExpression:Path=07/08/2014; DataItem='DataRowView'
  (HashCode=32322646); target element is 'TextBlock' (Name=''); target
  property is 'Text' (type 'String')

Maybe an error while making the DataTable?
public DataTable Table { get { return this.GetTable(); } }

private DataTable GetTable()
{
    DataTable table = new DataTable();
    foreach (var controle in Controles)
    {
        table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(controle.Date.ToShortDateString()));
    }
    DataRow rowMoyenne = table.NewRow();
    DataRow rowEtendue = table.NewRow();
    for (int i = 0; i < table.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
        DataColumn column = table.Columns[i];
        rowMoyenne[column] = Controles[i].Moyenne.ToString();
        rowEtendue[column] = Controles[i].Etendue.ToString();
    }
    table.Rows.Add(rowMoyenne);
    table.Rows.Add(rowEtendue);
    return table;
}

A: The problem was the character : "/"
What is it about DataTable Column Names with dots that makes them unsuitable for WPF's DataGrid control?
Thanks for your help.

Arbitration is, at its simplest, a proceeding where a dispute is resolved by an impartial adjudicator – a person who will not be affected by the outcome and can hold no bias or prejudice towards any of the parties concerned.
Arbitration is an alternative form of dispute resolution (ADR) and can either be voluntary or mandatory, and binding – where all parties agree to be bound to the outcome – or non-binding, where the decision cannot be legally imposed.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to using arbitration.
The party who is considered to be in the wrong may have to bear the cost of the whole proceeding. This is rare, but still possible.

Bradley: Hoops are capable of more after 'special' win
Updated / Thursday, 18 Jul 2019 23:37
'I think this group showed tremendous character and togetherness to do that.'
By Peter Branigan
RTÉ Sport journalist
Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley praised the "character and togetherness" of his squad after they beat Brann to advance in the Europa League qualifiers.
It looked like it was all going to come crashing down at Tallaght when Daouda Bamba put the visitors ahead on the night, and in the tie, just before the hour mark.
But the Hoops weren't to be denied, and goals from Jack Byrne and Gary O'Neill saw them through to the second qualifying round, and a tie with Apollon Limassol of Cyprus.
Bradley told RTÉ Sport's John Kenny afterwards that his players defied the odds.
"When you play against a team that probably has ten times our budget, a big, big club, and you go and do that over two legs... I think it's a special night.
"To go behind over there, and come back. To go behind tonight, and win the game. In Europe, that doesn't happen too often.
"I think this group showed tremendous character and togetherness to do that."
Byrne's goal was crucial for the Hoops
Bamba's goal had the Tallaght faithful anxious, but an exquisite finish from Byrne, after being played through by Ronan Finn, swung the tie back in their favour.
"When you're playing a good side like that, they're always going to get chances," according to Bradley.
"We're really disappointed with the goal. It's one ball, straight down the pitch. With all their play in around the box, their runners, you're really disappointed when you give away a goal like that.
"Jack's finish, it reminded me a bit of Paul Scholes.
"In the box, no panic, just a little dink. Jack is showing so much maturity in his game now. When he came here, he was a nice player on the ball. Now he's an all round footballer."
Gary O'Neill, playing in his first European game for Rovers after his move from UCD, put the hosts ahead at Tallaght inside the last five minutes.
It led to a minor pitch invasion in front of the south stand.
The game was briefly delayed after the second Rovers goal
Bradley said it shouldn't have happened, but that he understood why it did.
"I wasn't concerned," said Bradley. "I can understand the fans. You're 1-0 behind in a European game, and you come back and score two to win it.
"I understand the excitement and the passion.
"Do we need to control it better? Probably. But there was never any issue."
Next up for Rovers is the visit of UCD on Sunday, before the first leg against Limassol on Thursday. It's a busty schedule, but Bradley says it's a welcome workload.
"If you asked any of the clubs in Europe, they'd want to play on these big nights.
"You know you have to play your league games, and we'll fully concentrate on them after UCD.
"I wouldn't have it any other way, to be honest.
"We need to understand that when I came in, and I spoke to the board, we thought it would take years to turn it around. It's been building towards a night like this.
"I think there's many more to come with this group of players, and they're building towards something special."

Setting the EnableDataViewState always to false does solve the exception.
Filtering still does not behave as advertised though as shown below.
Works as you see the Programmer record.
Filter with Begins with 'I'.
Does not work as you see no records rather than the Infragistics Expert record.
Does not work as you see no records rather than the Programmer record.
You probably already know this, I just want to make sure this is addressed in the new release rather than just the Exception.
It is all fixed in the next service release. But since the workaround for now was to turn off EnableDataViewState, you have to keep re-assigning the whole datasource to the grid on every postback. so your binding code should look like this (based on the sample you gave me), this way you should see filtering and sorting working as you expect. Once the new service release comes out you can go back to your original databindg code and turn on EnableDataViewState again.
// // Load the Vendor Result datatable from viewstate to the WebDataGrid.
DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable("VendorResults"
I am trying enable filtering mode on a button click event for a grid with AutoGenerateColumns set to true. Is there a way to achieve this?
Can someone pls confirm if this issue has been resolved in latest release?

Crudo	Surname Meaning & Origin Sources (5)
The English meaning of Crudo is Uncooked, raw, immature.
The name Crudo is of Spanish origin
There are many indicators that the name Crudo may be of Jewish origin, emanating from the Jewish communities of Spain and Portugal.
When the Romans conquered the Jewish nation in 70 CE, much of the Jewish population was sent into exile throughout the Roman Empire. Many were sent to the Iberian Peninsula. The approximately 750,000 Jews living in Spain in the year 1492 were banished from the country by royal decree of Ferdinand and Isabella. The Jews of Portugal, were banished several years later. Reprieve from the banishment decrees was promised to those Jews who converted to Catholicism. Though some converted by choice, most of these New-Christian converts were called CONVERSOS or MARRANOS (a derogatory term for converts meaning pigs in Spanish), ANUSIM (meaning "coerced ones" in Hebrew) and CRYPTO-JEWS, as they secretly continued to practice the tenets of the Jewish faith.
Our research has found that the family name Crudo is cited with respect to Jews & Crypto-Jews in at least 5 bibliographical, documentary, or electronic references:

Dov Cohen has created an index of brides and grooms based on the organization of Ketubot (Jewish wedding contracts) from marriages within the Turkish community of Izmir. From this material we can identify the Jewish families who lived in Turkey since the Spanish expulsion in 1492 in two periods: the end of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of the secular government of Turkish Republic. Events of these periods forced this community to emigrate to America.

ETSI (a Paris-based, bilingual French-English periodical) is devoted exclusively to Sephardic genealogy and is published by the Sephardi Genealogical and Historical Society (SGHS). It was founded by Dr. Philip Abensur, and his professional genealogist wife, Laurence Abensur-Hazan. ETSI's worldwide base of authors publish articles identifying a broad spectrum of archival material of importance to the Sephardic genealogist. A useful feature of ETSI is the listing, on the back cover, of all Sephardic family names, and places of origin, cited in the articles contained in each issue
Finding Our Fathers: A Guidebook to Jewish Genealogy, by Dan Rottenberg
In this work Dan Rottenberg shows how to do a successful search for probing the memories of living relatives, by examining marriage licenses, gravestones, ship passenger lists, naturalization records, birth and death certificates, and other public documents, and by looking for clues in family traditions and customs. Supplementing the "how to" instructions is a guide to some 8,000 Jewish family names, giving the origins of the names, sources of information about each family, and the names of related families whose histories have been recorded. Other features included a country-by-country guide to tracing Jewish ancestors abroad, a list of Jewish family history books, and a guide to researching genealogy.
The Sephardic Jews of Bordeaux, by Frances Malino
Describing the tensions that existed between the Sephardic community of Bordeaux and the Ashkenazic Jews of France, the author also depicts their role in the relation of the Jews with Napoleon and the forming of the Grand Sanhedrin
Around the 12th century, surnames started to become common in Iberia. In Spain, where Arab-Jewish influence was significant, these new names retained their old original structure, so that many of the Jewish surnames were of Hebrew derivation. Others were directly related to geographical locations and were acquired due to the forced wanderings caused by exile and persecution. Other family names were a result of conversion, when the family accepted the name of their Christian sponsor. In many cases, the Portuguese Jews bear surnames of pure Iberian/Christian origin. Many names have been changed in the course of migration from country to country. In yet other cases "aliases", or totally new names, were adopted due to fear of persecution by the Inquisition.
Family names are not the only indicator for determining possible Jewish ancestry

Shut Up & Sit Down and Monikers Join Forces For The Nonsense Box
Posted by Kelly Knox on March 1, 2017
Shut Up & Sit Down, one of the funniest and most charming tabletop game review sites, is teaming up with Monikers to create an expansion for the hilarious party game. The Shut Up & Sit Down Nonsense Box, which doesn't require the original game of Monikers to play, has kicked off its crowdfunding campaign.
"The Shut Up & Sit Down Nonsense Box is no less than 112 cards that were dreamed up and playtested by… us!" writes Quintin Smith in the expansion announcement. "We didn't get the memo that the card descriptions were only supposed to be informative, so we made those really funny too. Oops."
Beyond their comedy chops, which makes them perfect to write this box of goodies, the folks at SU&SD know games, having written on and reviewed many as well as consulted on games like one of our favorite board games of 2016, Mechs vs. Minions.
Monikers is a charades-type party game that removes most of the embarrassment factor by letting players first choose the cards they feel best suits their group. The game is played in three rounds that increase in difficulty, but use the same cards for those rounds. The first round uses verbal and physical clues, the second only one-word clues, and the third is charades only.
Shut Up & Sit Down's review of the original game is so funny and so exuberant that it's plain to see why they were the perfect choice to help create an expansion.
The Nonsense Box can be yours beginning at pledges of $10 and up. That's 112 cards for just $10, no base game required (although you can add one on to your pledge). The project reached funding quickly, and you still have time to add your support.
Is charades the most embarrassing game ever? Tell us in the comments.

Q: Separate each value in the list Python I currently have this transaction list. Each row is 1 transaction that contains the bought products. However, with the current list it understood the whole row as 1 (and doesn't recognize the products separately):
transaction_list
[['8HN,M7E,K09'],
 ['ANV'],
 ['UKQ,8HN,SOE,Z1G']]

What I really would like to do is to recognize each product of the transaction as a separate value. So the first transaction has product '8HN', 'M7E', and 'K09' like this:
transaction_list
[['8HN','M7E','K09'],
 ['ANV'],
 ['UKQ','8HN','SOE','Z1G']]

I'm actually not sure what would be the best way to approach this. I tried to use split() but it said 'list' object has no attribute 'split'.
Could anyone please give me a suggestion?

A: You got an error because you were trying to split on a list instead of the string within the list: [i.split(",")[0] for i in transaction_list]. Here i is a list, and you can't apply the function split on it. So first you do i[0] and then split on it. Like this:
l =[['8HN,M7E,K09'],
 ['ANV'],
 ['UKQ,8HN,SOE,Z1G']]

[ a[0].split(",") for a in l]

Output:
[['8HN', 'M7E', 'K09'], ['ANV'], ['UKQ', '8HN', 'SOE', 'Z1G']]

A: This is a great situation to employ a list comprehension. The code is written like so:
[lst[0].split(',') for lst in transaction_list]

In short, we are going to first comprehend each list in our transaction list and then access the first element (where the string you want to split is located) and split it into a list.  The resulting split lists then become the elements of list originally being comprehended.
If you are unfamiliar with list comprehensions: check out https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#list-comprehensions
I know this answer is redundant, but it should be a bit more explanatory.

A: Initially you marked this question also with pandas tag, so I assume that you want not plain pythonic list, but rather a Series or DataFrame.
The way you created your transaction_list is a bit unclear,
so I assumed that it was created something like:
transaction_list = pd.Series([['8HN,M7E,K09'], ['ANV'], ['UKQ,8HN,SOE,Z1G']])

so it is:

*

*a Series,

*with each element containing a list,

*with a single string.

To convert it to a DataFrame, splitting each element on a comma, you can run:
result = transaction_list.apply(lambda tt: pd.Series(tt[0].split(','))).fillna('')

getting:
     0    1    2    3
0  8HN  M7E  K09
1  ANV
2  UKQ  8HN  SOE  Z1G

Note that I added .fillna(''), otherwise non-existing element would
have been filled with NaN.


Not long after reading this quasi-narrative about U.S. soldiers who have deserted the military, we came across a piece in The New York Times about increased prosecutions of such deserters. The Times piece is not at all narrative; it offers analysis and background on the issue of military desertion. The two make an interesting pair: The Spiegel piece, because it does not provide such broader context, runs the risk of creating the impression that desertion is more widespread than it really is. The Times piece offers a sober assessment of trends. On the other hand, The Spiegel story offers a fairly close look at several men who fled the military for reasons of conscience or trauma. Such narrative treatment of their stories is worthwhile, whether the soldiers are part of an exceptional trend or not.

Raffles Hotel Tour: Behind-The-Scenes at One of Singapore's Most Notable Landmarks

Ever wondered what it would be like to stay at the famed Raffles Hotel, mama? Here's your chance to walk the same hallowed halls as authors, monarchs, and movie stars!
Earlier this week I got to take a behind-the-scenes-tour of Raffles Hotel Singapore that's affectionately being termed "A Last, Lingering Look at an Icon", in reference to the fact that the hotel will soon be closing for renovation (due to re-open in mid-2018).
Tours of one of Singapore's grandest historic sites are normally reserved for hotel guests ("residents") only, but each day through 12 August, the public will have the chance to tour some of the hotel's most beautiful private spots while being regaled with juicy tidbits from its illustrious past by in-house historian Leslie Danker, who's worked at the Raffles for 45 years.
We began the tour in the Presidential Suite, also known as the Sarkies Suite after the two brothers who bought the hotel and made it into what it was back in 1887.
At the time, the hotel was a 10-room bungalow that looked out over the beach (that's where Beach Road got its name). It's always been kind of hard to actually picture that set-up, so I loved that the tour featured all sorts of unique antique photos throughout.
With two bedrooms, a dining room, and a sumptuous living room, the Sarkies Suite has played host to luminaries ranging from Queen Elizabeth, to American presidents and famous authors. Perhaps its loveliest feature, though, is its private balcony that overlooks the lush gardens of the Palm Court addition, which was added in the late 19th century. One neat tidbit we learned during the tour: when the Raffles re-opened after a major reconstruction in 1899, it was the first hotel in Singapore to offer electricity and fans.
While we explored the Sarkies Suite (I don't know about you, mama, but I'd never seen a Presidential Suite before!), we also heard the famous tale of "the last tiger in Singapore", which legend has it was shot under the billiards table at the Raffles in 1902. Turns out this story is partially true: the tiger in question had escaped from a circus, and really WAS shot in the Bar & Billiards Room by the principal of Raffles Institution, however the real last wild tiger in Singapore was captured in the 1930s.
From the Sarkies Suite we meandered over to the "Walk of Fame", which features photos of the many, many illustrious guests who've graced the Raffles over the last century and a half. We also got to see a photo of Ah Boon, the bartender who invented the Singapore Sling at Long Bar so ladies could inconspicuously drink liquor in public.
Along the way we heard about the Raffles's famous ballroom, which used to be where the paved driveway now stands. At various points in its history, it held everything from Singapore's grandest parties (its New Year's Eve bashes were the stuff of legend) to rollerskating!
Indeed, the Raffles fell into a bit of decline from the 1940s up until the 1980s, when it was sold and closed for a major renovation.
It's hard to picture a time when one of Singapore's most luxurious hotels – in a city absolutely rife with them! – was a bit down on its heels, but again the historic photos served as hard proof. I kind of loved seeing an image of the hotel in the 1950s with a giant neon sign out in front!
From the Hall of Fame we made our way to a suite meant to recreate the era of one of the hotel's most famous guests, Rudyard Kipling, who spent time writing at the hotel and even came up with the idea for The Jungle Book there.
It was interesting learning a bit more about Kipling's childhood in India (the recreation includes a tiffin carrier and dish filled with curry at his bedside), along with some of his writing inspirations. While the "Kipling Suite" is more luxurious than the actual conditions he might have stayed in (again, we got to see lots of photos from the late 19th century demonstrating exactly what a room really would have looked like), it's fun using your imagination to picture the sights and sounds Kipling would have experienced during his time in Singapore (apparently he was quite fond of walking down the beach).
Finally, we moved down the hall to learn about one of the hotel's most longstanding traditions: grand weddings. We saw photos from Lee Kuan Yew's nuptials, and got to look over more than a century's worth of elegant menus (turns out "Red Turtle Soup" was quite popular into the early part of the 20th century).
The tour then wrapped up with one of the coolest stories of all: in one corner of the suite was a huge pile of gleaming forks, knives and spoons. When Japanese invasion was imminent in 1942, the hotel staff preemptively hid the silverware since the Japanese had a reputation for melting down gold and silver for weaponry and ammunitions. Unfortunately, due to a series of unfortunate events, everyone forgot about it, and it wasn't recovered until the hotel was renovated in 1989!
With its dark wood floors, historic furnishings (suites still feature a brass button that you can push for butler service!), languorous ceiling fans, and luxurious, sprawling green spaces right in the middle of the city, the Raffles is such a stunning landmark and one of the few remaining visual monuments to old Singapore. It's always one of my favorite places to bring visitors, and while I'm sad that it will be closed for a while, I look forward to seeing it come back stronger than ever in 2018.
Click here for more information on the "Last, Lingering Look at an Icon" tour at Raffles Hotel, which will be running daily through 12 August, 2017. Tickets are priced at $12 per person and include a hotel souvenir; according to the hotel all tour slots are currently booked, but you can contact them at singapore@raffles.com or (+65) 6337 1886 to enquire about waiting list spots.

As a result of the global financial and economic crisis that started in 2008, budget deficits soared across most of Europe, and in 2011 discussions on military expenditure in Europe were dominated by the impact of the austerity measures enacted by governments in an effort to reduce these deficits. On the one hand, acute debt crises in Greece, Italy and Spain have led to the imposition of particularly severe austerity measures—with major cuts to public spending and increases in taxation—in some cases as a condition of international bailout packages. On the other hand, countries such as the United Kingdom that have not faced such imminent debt problems have also cut public spending, based on the belief that reducing deficits is the overwhelming economic priority following the crisis.

Another Florida Doctor Murdered, Bringing Total to 8 Dead & 5 Missing in Just the Last Month
Three more doctors are dead under questionable circumstances in the Southeastern United States.
Last week we reported on a number of doctors, many from the Southeastern U.S., who had been killed, died under questionable circumstances or had simply vanished without a trace.
Just one week later, another three doctors have been reported dead, with one being found shot to death inside of his Florida home.
One of these doctors, Dr. Norman John Castellano, DMD, of Tampa, Florida passed away on July 13, 2015. An anonymous source has indicated a cause of death, which has yet to be verified or released.
We've also become aware of Dr. Nicholas J. Gonzalez's untimely death on Tuesday, July 21, 2015. A notice posted to Gonzalez's professional website stated:
The cause of death appears to be cardiac related, as he suddenly collapsed and was unable to be revived. Dr. Gonzalez was in excellent health otherwise so his passing is quite unexpected.
Dr. Gonzalez leaves a legacy of faith, healing, and genuine love for people and the pursuit of medicine. We are heartbroken at this loss, but determined to keep his work and his memory alive.
• Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez provides individualized nutritional regimens for many types of cancer, as well as other illnesses such as Lyme, allergies, autoimmune disorders and chronic fatigue
• Over 30 years of research and clinical experience
In the most startling case, Dr. Ronald Schwartz M.D. was found shot to death in his Jupiter Farms, Florida home, on Sunday, July 19th, 2015. A friend had asked authorities to do a welfare check, which resulted in the brutal discovery, according to WPTV 5.
Detectives have not yet determined a motive or how many people carried out the murder, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's spokeswoman. Neighbors are on edge from the out of place murder.
"I think it's very creepy. It gives you that feeling that you need to make sure your doors are locked," area resident Belinda Runnels said.
Authorities haven't indicated if the doctor was specifically targeted but have said that residents are safe in the community.
Schwartz's murder comes in the wake of a slew of curious deaths that began on June 19, with the death of Dr. Bradstreet. Bradstreet, a renowned autism researcher from Florida, now practicing in Georgia, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest. Authorities almost immediately ruled his death a suicide, but his family suspects foul play.
Then came the death of Dr. Bruce Hedendal, found dead in his car in Boca Raton, Florida on Father's Day, June 21; the same day as the unexpected death of Dr. Baron Holt, 33, while on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida.
Only a few weeks ago, Dr. Teresa Seivers, a renowned and respected doctor known as the "Mother Teresa of South Florida," was found savagely murdered with a hammer in her home on June 29. Then on July 1, Lisa Riley DO, 34, was found murdered in her residence, in Lee County, Georgia, with a gunshot wound to the head.
Information about the five missing doctors can be found here.
While all of these deaths could be nothing more than strange coincidences, we'd be remiss in not noting the fact that all of the doctors mentioned, sans Dr. Gonzales, practiced in the Southeastern United States, specifically in the Florida/Georgia region.
Do you think these deaths are simply a strange coincidence or that perhaps something more sinister is transpiring?

There isn't a pro player out there who doesn't have a bad game every so often. That's something you can count on in sports. Even the greats like Michael Jordon weren't infallible but the difference between a pro and an amateur is how they handle those bad games. Do they let them undermine their confidence going forward or do they turn that off game into a positive learning experience?
High school players hoping for a scholarship by getting noticed by the scouts associated with asmscholarships.com need to focus on bouncing back after a bad game. What those scouts are also looking for is your attitude after a loss. They know that no one is 100% all the time, but if you can turn a loss into a victory, you've probably got a foot in the door. Here are some tips to help you bounce back.
Whether you missed a chance at a great play or you were simply dealt a bad call by the refs, there are some things you can control and others you can't. Don't lose focus next time out. You can control what you do today but there is no going back for a do-over. Keep your mindset positive, knowing that today is a whole new day, a whole new game and your mindset will determine how you play today. Forget yesterday. It's gone!
So, you missed a shot on the court or you swung at what was clearly an outside ball. Who cares? That's yesterday! Instead of moping around, replay that play and improve on your technique. If there are no videos available, talk to your coach and other players you trust. Find out what you could have done better and improve on it for today and all your tomorrows. One bad play doesn't make a bad player unless that player fails to learn how to improve on past mistakes.
While working to improve on mistakes you've made, remember you do have strengths or you wouldn't be on the team! Focus on those strengths to keep your confidence high. Every time you walk out on the field or on the court, focus on your strengths. Don't dwell on your shortcomings of yesterday but focus on what you bring to the game. Focus on your technique. Know that you are good and that you can do it. Don't admit to defeat but rather be encouraged by the strengths that have gotten you this far.
Perhaps if you had to sum it up you could say it's all about attitude. Coaches can work with players who have a positive attitude. They know you are good because you've made the cut, but even the most talented players often get rejected by the scouts because they wallow in their losses rather than turning them around into future victories. If you really want that scholarship, show them what you've got – and what you've got is confidence. You know you have what the team needs, now go out there and show them!

Gian Lorenzo Bernini had designed eight coats of arms of Pope Urban VIII in the Canopy of S. Pietro. Pope Alexander VII satisfied himself with only four coats of arms by Bernini to celebrate the nearby Chair of St. Peter. The little shell shown by Juvarra in his drawing doesn't show up in the actual coat of arms.
Note: Plate 41: unknown author - S. Pietro - Coat of arms of Gregory XIII (lost) can be seen in a page devoted to this pope.


PROBLEM OCCURRED IN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS WITH 3 FACTOR(S).
THE PROGRAM HAD PROBLEMS MINIMIZING THE FUNCTION.
TOO MANY FACTORS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN USED.
Sample size 215 with 14 categorical variables.
I get a 2 factor and a 4 factor solution, but no 3 factor solution. I have tried to change start values, but I guess the EFA routine will not allow this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
This can happen. It is most likely a Heywood case. The only option is to change estimators to see if that helps.
Thanks, changed to a WLS estimtor and was able to obtain a 3 dimensional solution that makes sense.

During the KDF's 26 days of Kawasaki Disease Awareness campaign, KD mom, Danielle Foster contacted us for support in raising KD awareness. Danielle decided to host an awareness fundraiser for KD in her community, and her impromptu event was very successful.
In today's cultural climate, it is so refreshing and reassuring to see so many people come together to help others. My husband Lou and I are genuinely touched by the generous donations and the outpouring of kind words and prayers for Jayda and all of the children in the U.S. that are diagnosed with Kawasaki disease.
I am so proud to say that the Preschool Learning Center was able to raise $987.00 for the Kawasaki Disease Foundation! My sisters also aided in raising awareness throughout New Rochelle; specifically New Rochelle Police Department, City Hall, among friends and family. Together, they helped us to raise an additional $1,709.00!
I am so excited to present the foundation with our donations and help put New Rochelle on the map for bringing awareness to Kawasaki disease.
Lastly, I want to recognize our New Rochelle Mayor, Noam Bramson for supporting our cause and making January 26th "Jayda Field Day" in New Rochelle! Our family is truly honored and will continue to do what we can to raise awareness and support the Kawasaki Disease Foundation.

New investment brings calmer waters for Red7
Funding boost for marine construction specialists
I&C Ltd (trading as Red7 Marine) is a specialist offshore construction and plant hire business providing services to companies across the UK and beyond. Headquartered in Ipswich and owning some unique, high-value marine construction equipment, the business has grown rapidly in recent years.
Between 2016 and 2018 the company's turnover increased from £6.8 million to £18.6 million, but the industry later suffered a sharp slowdown. As a result the directors sought additional debt and equity funding, and approached our team for help.
Our Corporate Finance team was appointed to review and manage cash during this critical time, and to implement improvements to the company's forecasts. Having launched the process to raise investment, the team provided regular reporting and advice to the board on funding options, deal structures and future funding requirements. Our role was to support the board and manage all stakeholders including the bank, shareholders and other advisers.
Following the investment process, a solvent solution was achieved with new owners taking control and providing significant new funding for the business. Once the deal was completed we provided ongoing cash management advice, and supported the directors to deliver significant cost reductions and an operational restructuring of the business.
We supported the directors to deliver significant cost reductions and an operational restructuring of the business. Chris Adlam Corporate Finance

Last fall I made an optimistic prediction for the future of B2B marketing: I said I looked forward to B2B organizations prospering with quality content that's ridiculously useful and valuable and inspired.
Why? Because as I talk about in my new book Everybody Writes, we don't need more content; we need better content.
The future is coming — it always does, of course. And for those of us who work in content, the future I describe will be ours.
Good content is something anyone is capable of producing. I'd argue we all need to, too. If quality content is our future, we all need to get on board — and not just copywriters and producers and marketers, but all of us who use words to communicate.
That pretty much describes us all, doesn't it?
In other words, if you and I were seated facing one another right now, I'd be looking you square in the eye — because This. Means. You.
The more people you've got creating content in your organization, the more that individual styles get tossed into the mix. You know what I mean: Some of us write how we talk; others are much more formal and buttoned-up. Some of us are long-winded or rambling; others are succinct and concise.
Sometimes, individual styles can work well together — just as it takes many notes to make a melody. But there's an art to making the notes work together — and not sound like kindergartners in a rubber-band band.
You need to give your content creators some parameters around things like word choice, cadence, use of company terms, jargon, and other things that can help even out the experience for your customers.
Consistency is one thing. But so is making sure that your tone is unique and instantly recognizable as belonging to you. Your tone of voice is one of the best things you can cultivate to differentiate you from your competition, on a few levels.
Why should you care about this right now? Because more and more B2B brands are realizing the power of tone of voice. And the ones that act first will benefit most.
They're the ones that will seem most human to their customers and that will cut through the noise.
They're the ones that will have the most authority and focus, and that will stand out. Online fundraising engine Crowdrise, LinkedIn, and my company, MarketingProfs, all have a strong, discernable voice that is a clear advantage in a crowded content world.
Remember the goal is better content, not more. There are lots of things you can do to improve your content, but getting your tone of voice right belongs at the top of the list.
Ann Handley is the Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs and the author Everybody Writes: Your Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content. Everybody Writes is a Wall Street Journal best seller, and a must-have guide for anyone creating content on behalf of any size organization.

Loretta Lynn, the queen of country, dies at 90
Loretta Lynn, one of the most beloved country singers in the history of the United States and of her generation, has died today Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, in the state of Tennessee, at the age of 90, according to a statement.
04 October 2022 Tuesday 19:43
Loretta Lynn, one of the most beloved country singers in the history of the United States and of her generation, has died today Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, in the state of Tennessee, at the age of 90, according to a statement. issued by his family to the American press.
Many recognized her as "the country queen" and some others preferred to address her as the "coal miner's daughter", but one way or another it was inevitable to admit that it was one of the most valuable and iconic interpreters of the genre. Among her songs, Coal miner's daughter (especially), You ai n't woman enough or The pill stand out.
With her powerful voice and somewhat playful lyrics, the singer became known in the 1960s, becoming a role model for women of her generation, writing fearlessly about sexuality, love, divorce, the infidelities of men and even about the right to abortion: "It was what I wanted to hear and what I knew other women wanted to hear," Lynn confessed at a press conference.
In this way, she became the first woman to win two major country music awards. She won the first one in 1972 at the Country Music Association and the second three years later at the Academy of Country Music as best female vocalist of the year.
In the mid-1970s, she published a book about her autobiography titled Coal miner's daughter, in which she described her rough and poor childhood and, later, her love affair with a womanizing man prone to alcoholic beverages. Subsequently, she was made into a film in 1980, thus winning the award for best actress for Sissy Spacek, who played her.
Later, in 2005, she won two Grammy Awards for the album Van Lear Rose, which included the song Portland, Oregon, a story of a "crazy night", and a collaboration with rocker Jack White.
And with the message "liquor and love, they just don't mix" from one of her best-known hits Don't Come Home a Drinkin', Lynn has been an inspiration to millions of women because she "didn't write for men I wrote for women."

Monsanto suspends new soybean technologies in Argentina
Dispute blew up after Monsanto asked Argentine exporters to inspect soybean shipments to ensure farmers are paying royalties for using the company's products
EXCERPT: Argentina last month issued a decree saying the government must authorize any grain inspection, dealing a blow to Monsanto's push for exporters to check cargoes.
By Hugh Bronstein
Reuters, 17 May 2016
http://www.reuters.com/article/monsanto-argentina-idUSL2N18E1G4
Monsanto Co said on Tuesday it would suspend future soybean technologies in Argentina, a move that could limit output of the country's main cash crop, after a disagreement with the government over inspections of genetically modified soybeans.
The dispute blew up after Monsanto asked Argentine exporters to inspect soybean shipments to ensure farmers are paying royalties for using the company's products. The Argentine government told the world's largest seed company that such inspections must first be approved by the government.
Argentina, the world's No. 1 exporter of soymeal livestock feed, relies heavily on Monsanto's genetic technology to produce soybeans.
The U.S. company issued a statement saying it was "disappointed" that talks with the Argentine government had not yielded an agreement on the inspection issue.
"The company plans to take measures to protect its current assets and will suspend launching any future soybean technologies in the country," Monsanto said in the statement.
Monsanto officials in Argentina declined further comment.
A spokeswoman for the Argentine agriculture ministry said the country's rules regarding soybean inspections were designed "to guarantee free trade and property rights".
"If they (Monsanto) feel threatened, that's their prerogative," said the ministry spokeswoman.
Farmers in the South American country have urged the government to resist any attempt by private companies to inspect cargos as a way of monitoring royalty payments.
Argentina last month issued a decree saying the government must authorize any grain inspection, dealing a blow to Monsanto's push for exporters to check cargoes.
For a year, Monsanto has pressured shipping companies to notify it when crops grown with its technology are slated for export without documentation showing royalties had been paid.

The commands you must implement are:
•   average all
o   prints the average population of all districts to the console
•   average
o   prints the average population for the given state list to the console
•   top x all
o   prints the top x districts with the highest population for all districts to the console, x being any positive integer entered by the user
•   top x
o   Prints the top x districs with the highest population for each state in the state
list to the console, x being any positive integer entered by the user
•   exit
o   Exits the program

Any command that accepts a  must perform the required action for each state in the list.  For example the command:
top 2 michigan new_york
should have the following output (the data is made up)
MICHIGAN:

            Detroit: 123453

            Flint: 4323532

        NEW_YORK:

            New_York_City: 2342342

            Some_other_city: 2342342

this is what me and a classmate put together
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Database {

    public static String[] data = new String[9000];
    public static int count;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        boolean keepGoing = true;

        //other setup as needed

        while (keepGoing) {
            String command = keyboard.nextLine();
            String[] commandParts = command.split(" ");

            //if (commandParts[0].equalsIgnoreCase("average"))
                //if (commandParts.length == 2)   //do other stuff check for other things

             // else if ( . .. .) {

            //else if user entered in "exit"
            //keepgoing = fals      }

        //MiChIgAN == MICHIGAN
        }
    }

    public static void readDataFile(String fileName) throws Exception {
        File dataFile = new File(fileName);
        Scanner fileReader = new Scanner(dataFile);

        while (fileReader.hasNextLine()) {
            data[count] = fileReader.nextLine();
            count++;
        }

        fileReader.close();

    }

    public static void topXAll(int x) {
        //print out the top x
    }

    //..top state
    // gettopforstate ..

    public static void averageAll() {
        System.out.println("my results here");
    }

    public static void averageList(String[] input) {
        String output = "";

        //for each state in state list {
            //output += getAverageForState(stateName);

        System.out.println(output);
    }

    public static String getAverageForState(String stateName) {
        return "";
    }

    //this is how we do stuff
    public static void doStuff() {
        String[] parts;

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            parts = data[i].split(",");
            String stateName = data[0];
            String districtName = data[1];
            int population = Integer.parseInt(data[2]);

        }
    }

}

A: You need to create a File object and check while(keyboard.hasNext() or hasNextLine()), not check while(keepgoing).  You should pass the File object as an argument the Scanner. System.in is passed when you want to read from the console.
File file = new File("file.txt");
Scanner fileInput = new Scanner(file);

while (fileInput.hasNextLine()){
    String command = inputFile.nextLine();
    // do something
}

Also, I see this as a comment in your code //MiChIgAN == MICHIGAN. Make sure you don't fall into the infamous trap of trying to compare strings with ==. Use equals()
Edit:
Also, you probably want to split with a comma and not a space. There is no space delimiter between the text
String command = keyboard.nextLine();
String[] commandParts = command.split(",");

Former CDC Director says he got DEATH THREATS from fellow scientists for suggesting Coronavirus came from lab-leak
Jun. 3, 2021 12:58 pm Jun. 5, 2021 1:57 am by The Right Scoop • No Comments
Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told Vanity Fair that he actually received death threats from fellow scientists after suggesting on CNN that the coronavirus came from a lab-leak:
But for most of the past year, the lab-leak scenario was treated not simply as unlikely or even inaccurate but as morally out-of-bounds. In late March, former Centers for Disease Control director Robert Redfield received death threats from fellow scientists after telling CNN that he believed COVID-19 had originated in a lab. "I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis," Redfield told Vanity Fair. "I expected it from politicians. I didn't expect it from science."
You'd almost certainly expect death threats from leftists and people on social media, but from fellow scientists? Wow. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the state of our scientific community… These are likely the same people who continually claim that Global Warming Climate Change is the biggest threat to the earth or something.
I happened to see this video on 9gag (don't hate me bro!) the other day of a scientist named Allan Savory explaining what's wrong with 'scientists' coming out of universities these days. He calls them brain dead, not knowing what the word 'science' even means. It's a short clip, but you should definitely watch it:
I don't know anything else about Savory, so if he's controversial don't blame me. But it seems to me that he's exactly right about the state of our scientific community. They're all about agreement and peer-reviewed papers and not about critical thinking and scientific advancement, which he says typically happens on the fringes of science. And those scientific advancements are being blocked right because they can't come from peer-reviewed papers.

A: I personally prefer Calabash which is built on Cucumber if you want to do acceptance tests. Then you can automate your builds using Jenkins. There are support for Cucumber in Jenkins as well, you can find it here.

A: You can use Gorrila and TestStudio.
Also StackOverFlow

A: Another option is Appium, which lets you write tests in many languages and test frameworks.
