Q: How to access the items in list from Dataframe against each index item? Consider the table (Dataframe) below.

Need each item in the list against its index such as given below. What are the possible ways of doing this in python?

Anybody can tweak the question if it matches the context.

A: You can do this using the pandas library with the explode method. Here is how your code would look -
import pandas as pd

df = [["A", [1,2,3,4]],["B",[9,6,4]]]

df =  pd.DataFrame(df, columns = ['Index', 'Lists'])

print(df)

df = df.explode('Lists').reset_index(drop=True)

print(df)

Your output would be -
  Index         Lists
0     A  [1, 2, 3, 4]
1     B     [9, 6, 4]

  Index Lists
0     A     1
1     A     2
2     A     3
3     A     4
4     B     9
5     B     6
6     B     4

25 April 2018: The Literary City of Bath
Few cities in the world are lucky enough to have the same literary history as we do here in Bath. Many famous authors have lived and written here, including Charles Dickens, Mary Shelley, Coleridge, and, of course, Jane Austen. As we here at Rooke Books are lucky enough to be based in Bath too, we thought we'd take a look at some of the books in our library who's authors have unique connections to the literary city of Bath.
c1920 5vol Jane Austen The Novels Riviere Binding Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen is perhaps Bath's most famous literary connection, and much of her work was either written or set in the city. Austen lived here between 1801 and 1806 and her novels Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, both of which are predominantly set in Bath, reference many of the fashionable locations and areas of the city of which Austen herself was known to frequent. Many of the balls depicted in Northanger Abbey are set in the Assembly Rooms, within which the PBFA still holds its bi-annual book fair. We are lucky to have a wide range of Austen's work in our library, including this beautiful set published and bound by Robert Riviere and Son. Riviere was a renowned English bookbinder, well known for his attractive decorative bindings and high quality work. Riviere itself has a strong connection to Bath, having been bought out by booksellers George Bayntun, who also reside in the city. This particular set also features many charming illustrations across all five volumes.
1834 6vols The Works of Hannah More Uniformly Bound With Memoir and Notes Scarce
Hannah More was an English religious writer, poet and playwright, renowned for her philanthropy, including the opening of the first school in Bristol. Born in Fishponds, Bristol, More wrote many of her literary works whilst teaching, and upon retiring from the management of the Bristol school moved to Bath, where she lived for ten years between 1792 and 1802. Before moving to Bath, More had associated herself with the literary circles in London, and was a member of the 18th century Blue Stockings Society led by hostess and critic Elizabeth Montagu. She also forged a strong friendship with William Wilberforce, and wrote heavily towards his anti-slavery campaign. The pair visited Cheddar together, where he was notably shocked with the general ignorance and distress found there. This collection of More's works includes her poems, essays and plays and reflects the wide variety of More's literary and philanthropic pursuits. The set comes directly from the library of the Titley Court Estate and reflects Elizabeth Greenly's interest in More and her work.
1840 The Dramatic Works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan By Leigh Hunt The Rivals
Irish born playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan had a long history with the city of Bath, having relocated after his father took a job there teaching elocution. Some of his early work, including several translations undertaken with Nathaniel Brassey Halged appeared in the Bath Chronicle. One such work, The Ridotto of Bath went on to be reprinted to great success. However, Sheridan's relationship with Bath wasn't always positive. After agreeing to escort a betrothed woman to France, the plan ultimately failed, and upon return to England, the spurned partner, Major Matthews, challenged Sheridan to a duel. Sheridan won, and Matthews was forced to publish an apology in the Bath Chronicle. In 1772 a second duel took place in which Sheridan was seriously injured. This collected edition of Sheridan's works is bound in a charming half calf binding with marbled boards and also contains a biographical account by critic and essayist Leigh Hunt.
1840-c1893 25Vols Edward Bulwer Lytton Collection Routledge Victorian Novels
Edward Bulwer-Lytton was an immensely popular 19th century author, who published a stream of bestselling novels. Lytton is credited for coining the expressions 'the great unwashed' and 'the pen is mightier than the sword'. Bulwer-Lytton stayed in Bath a number of times, including a stay at the iconic Royal Crescent. Notably he wrote the last novel, The Parisians whilst staying in the city. This collection of Bulwer-Lytton's works is an uncommon nineteenth century American printing of his work bound in the original red cloth. It contains 25 volumes of work, including his well-known novels The Last Days of Pompeii and The Disowned.

Using a simple dynamical system generated by means M and N which are considered on adjacent intervals, we show how to find their joints, that is means extending both M and N. The procedure of joining is a local version of that presented in Jarczyk (Publ. Math. Debr. 91:235–246, 2017). Among joints are those semiconjugating some functions defined by the use of the so-called marginal functions of M and N.

I always dreamed we'd have a treehouse in the yard. When the babies were still babies, I had a whole collection of pictures and ideas dedicated to brainstorming its perfect form.
We never got farther than some pegs drilled into the trunk of the front tree to make for easier climbing and four swings hanging from its thick branches. But that tree in all its simpleness has become a cornerstone of my children's childhood.
I used to imagine we'd sell everything and buy an RV. We'd explore the country as a family for a whole year and homeschool them from the road as we went.
Instead, growing a business and supporting our family has meant boots on the ground right where we are. But staying put has allowed us to build friendships that have become family with our neighbors.
I always envisioned an ever tidy house, ready for unexpected company at any moment.
Despite constantly striving, I've never gotten there. But when I look at pictures of times I remember being really hard on myself about it, I see warm happy faces and smiling kids.
I thought somehow I'd figure out this unicorn of balance between being present and home with the kids, while also crushing 'professional' goals.
Turns out that path is a bumpy one and I feel like I'm forever falling off the tightrope. But when I let myself really look, I can see how I'm always growing - even through times I just refused to give myself credit.
I used to think we'd raise our kids in the country. That there'd be woods and a creek and lots of quiet.
We have kids who thrive on community though, and love being part of sports teams that keep them active and connected. But we love whooping it up and cheering from sidelines with other families that make us feel like this town is home.
I pictured easy conversations around the dinner table, and kids who always got along.
We've had to put in a lot of work on sibling dynamics. It's taken far more time and effort than I could have imagined. But I think we're raising kids who will be well practiced and coached in navigating the complexities of relationships, and that means everything to my heart.
Life doesn't go as we planned, as we imagined, as we maybe thought it should. It's hard and the road is full of obstacles. Sometimes we swerve, sometimes we fall down and have to figure out getting back up, sometimes it takes longer than we expected to walk through the weeds.
But we're out here doing the best that we can each day. And the best that we can involves so.much.love. It's driven by love and it never gives up because of the love.
All that love adds up. And it means we're growing something so beautiful in the process, right in the middle of our messy imperfect journey.
Eventually we realize, we'd rather focus less on exactly what it all looks like, and more on what it feels like.
And this life, the one that might not be the perfect picture of what I naively imagined years ago,
it's a good one.

Windcrop website
Windcrop provide effective, compact wind turbines at no upfront cost to farmers, schools and businesses throughout the UK.
For their new corporate website, they wanted clear, authoritative yet friendly text to explain why getting a wind turbine makes sense, both economically and ecologically.
Windcrop
Explain the benefits of having a wind turbine
A simple, easy way to cut your electricity costs
Our wind turbines give you a source of environmentally friendly electricity on your land – absolutely free.
We work with all kinds of landowners, from famers and smallholders through to schools, caravan parks, rural businesses and homeowners.
Our approach is very simple: you provide the site, we do the rest.
Nothing to pay. The system, its installation and its maintenance are fully managed by us, and the electricity is free. There is no cost to you at all.
Free electricity. Your wind turbine will generate free power year after year. Each project is different, but most people save about £500 per year.
We do it all. We'll assess your site, get planning permission and build the turbine. All you have to do is agree to let us use your land.
We take responsibility. Because we own the turbine, we take full responsibility for running and maintaining it. If it breaks down, we'll have it up and running again within 72 hours, at no cost to you.
We build, install and maintain wind turbines on land owned by farmers, smallholders, schools, businesses and homeowners, giving them a completely free source of electricity.
At the time Windcrop was founded, turbines were expensive and unreliable, which discouraged people from investing in them. We wanted to offer a practical, low-risk way for landowners to start generating their own power with no upfront costs.
We designed our own compact, affordable and reliable 5KW wind turbine. We also developed a fast, environmentally friendly installation method and a custom mast. So far, we've installed over 250 turbines throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, and we're now expanding to other areas of the UK.
Our service is completely free to the landowner. We finance the construction of the wind turbine ourselves, and recoup our costs from government payments for electricity generation (the 'Feed-In Tariff').
We take care of all the red tape. We sign a 20-year contract with the landowner to use part of their land in return for free electricity. We obtain planning permission, grid-connection permission and registration for the Feed-In Tariff.
The landowner benefits from free electricity, usually saving them around £500 per year. We take full responsibility for operating and maintaining the turbine, and guarantee to have it up and running in 72 hours in the event of a breakdown.
After a while, we sell the developed site to an investment fund, who receive a return on their investment from the Feed-In Tariff. The landowner still owns the land, and continues to enjoy free power, and we continue to maintain the turbine.


Twice a year Urban Air Market comes to Hayes Valley with over 130 vendors, live music, and interactive art. Vivid Element will be showing and selling the fall collection at this art fair in San Francisco. Please join us for a curated marketplace of sustainable design Sunday, September 18th from 11am-6pm!

The Scottish Government passed the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 to encourage and support more parents to become involved.
The membership of the Parent Forum is made up of all parents who have a child at an education authority school. Membership of the Parent Forum allows parents to have a say in the local arrangements to enable their collective view to be represented on matters such as the quality and standards of education at the school and other matters of interest to parents. One of the ways parents in the Parent Forum will be able to express their views will be through the Parent Council.
What is a Parent Forum?
What is The Parent Council?
Who can be members of the Parent Council?
Generally members of the Parent Council must be parents of children who attend the school and the chairperson must have a child in the school. However, the Parent Council can decide to co-opt other members including school staff and community representatives who have knowledge and skills to help them.
In denominational schools, the Parent Council must invite the relevant church or denominational body to nominate a representative to be a co-opted member.
The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 allows for the establishment of a Combined Parent Council, covering two or more schools if this is what parents want.
Where parents choose to set up a Combined Parent Council, the education authority can provide support to write an appropriate constitution and get things started.
If a Combined Parent Council includes a denominational school, its constitution must provide for at least one person from the church or denominational body to be a co-opted member of the Parent Council. Where there is more than one church or denomination, each church or body must be able to nominate at least one co-optee.
Glasgow Parent Councils' Forum is an opportunity for Parent Council members from across Glasgow to come together to discuss matters of mutual interest, receive information and attend presentations on education and related subjects such as health. The Forum is organised by a committee of parents representing a wide range of Glasgow schools, who set the agenda for the meetings which are held once a term. The committee aims to represent the collective views of schools across Glasgow. The Forum is enabled and supported by the Parent Partnership section of Education Services.

Lieberman: Aren't we all rushing to judgment on Northam?
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 12:01 pm on February 4, 2019
Brett Kavanaugh could not be reached for comment. Former senator and one-time Democratic VP nominee Joe Lieberman tells CNN's Jim Sciutto that the feeding frenzy around Virginia governor (for now) Ralph Northam fails to take his whole life in context. "There's a rush to judgment," Lieberman says, and says he doesn't think Northam should resign — not without getting some answers first:
Fmr. Independent Sen. @JoeLieberman tells @jimsciutto "there's a rush to judgement" around Gov. Northam, adding that he needs to explain if he knew about the picture and "be judged in the context of his whole life" https://t.co/QIVfUHvDRl pic.twitter.com/VpWIVUuyJT
— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) February 4, 2019
"I think he deserves a chance to prove what really is his essence," Lieberman concludes, "not to rush him out of office." That makes Lieberman a caucus of one in the Democratic Party, however. While some other Democrats didn't explicitly call for Northam's resignation — including Virginia's two senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine – Lieberman's the first to suggest he should stick around a while and try to seek redemption. Other than Northam himself, that is.
Newly minted presidential candidate Cory Booker speaks for the rest of the party. Redemption is at hand, Booker argues, but the people of Virginia don't have to keep Northam around while he seeks it. "Being governor of a state is not an entitlement," Booker tells CBS This Morning:
WATCH: Sen. @CoryBooker says Gov. Northam "should step down and start the road to redemption" pic.twitter.com/eMKNycBJqG
— CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) February 4, 2019
Neither is being a senator, but we notice that Booker's colleague from New Jersey Robert Menendez still remains in the upper chamber. Shouldn't he also resign from office to seek redemption for the corrupt acts he committed while in office, not in 1984?
Nevertheless, Charles C. W. Cooke agrees with Lieberman — in theory, anyway. The rules should make it clear that this is "abhorrent," but it's also from 35 years ago and has nothing to do with the way Northam has acted as governor. However, Cooke notes, these are the rules Democrats demand:
The rules that would save Northam are those that are coveted by a conservative libertarian guy who loathes mobs, who believes broadly in redemption, and who resents the relentless flattening of categories that social media renders quotidian. But they are not the rules by which the contemporary Democratic party lives; they are not the rules cherished by the progressive movement that is at present ascendant within that party; and, judging by his disgraceful behavior during the 2017 gubernatorial election, they are not the rules by which Ralph Northam plays, either. Surely, that has to matter? Again: I think that there is a creditable case against Northam's resigning — or, at least, I think that there was before he muddied the waters. Whatever his past mistakes, he is quite obviously not a white supremacist, and, whatever the hell he was doing in college, he quite obviously is not that man today. But, again: I am not of his party. I haven't taken its money, accepted its votes, or sought to inflict its Catechism. If our politics are to work, there have to be some consequences to signing on to an agenda, to a worldview, to an outlook, to a set of tactics, as Northam has — and those consequences can't just be reserved for the other party.
It's tough to disagree. If Democrats want those rules, and they surely did during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings when the allegations were not just unproven but actively and vociferously denied, then they should be made to play by them. That's why Booker and most other Democrats have taken a hard line on this now; they realize that a "bygones" approach would be the worst possible hypocrisy. They're stuck. But Northam's not, at least at the moment. And neither was Menendez, for that matter.

Brighten A Christmas: Woman struggling to raise 5 kids
Mark Caudill
MANSFIELD – A single mother struggling to raise five children is being featured in the first Brighten A Christmas profile.
The woman works but can afford to provide only the essentials and cover monthly bills. When gas prices have been high, she has often walked to work. The woman also has spent time at Harmony House, the local homeless shelter.
The father of her children is not able to help financially after being severely injured in an accident. He requires round-the-clock care.
Family needs include towels, pots and pans, and food storage containers. The single mother says the family also could use bed sheets for the children, preferably with a pattern with princesses for the two daughters and wrestlers for the three boys.
The woman is not asking for anything for herself, but she would like to receive gifts for her children. The 16-year-old and 10-year-old boys both are asking for electronics or games. The teen is a big fan of the NBA.
The 5-year-old son would enjoy action figures or anything related to wrestling.
The 7-year-old girl is asking for a bead machine and Barbie-related gifts. Her 1-year-old sister likes dolls.
For clothing needs, the 16-year-old wears size 34/32 for pants and men's medium shirts, T-shirts and underwear. He takes size 13 for both shoes and socks.
His 10-year-old brother wears size 14 pants and a boy's large for shirts, T-shirts and underwear. His shoe and sock sizes are both 61/2.
The 7-year-old girl wears a size 7/8 for pants, blouses, T-shirts and underwear. Her shoe and sock sizes are 121/2.
Her 5-year-old brother takes a size 5T for pants, shirts, T-shirts, underwear and socks. He wears a size 9 toddler for shoes.
The 1-year-old girl takes a size 24m for pants, blouses, T-shirts, underwear and socks. The toddler wears a size 4 shoe.

It was a wild chance but Donald was in the mood, healthy and bored, with a sense of tiresome duty done. He was now rewarding himself. Maybe.
When the plane landed he stepped out into a mid-western summer night and headed for the isolated pueblo airport, conventionalized as an old red 'railway depot'. He did not know whether she was alive, or living in this town, or what was her present name. With mounting excitement he looked through the phone book for her father who might be dead too, somewhere in these twenty years.
No. Judge Harmon Holmes--Hillside 3194.
A woman's amused voice answered his inquiry for Miss Nancy Holmes.
But Donald hung up without answering. He had found out what he wanted to know and had only three hours. He did not remember any Walter Gifford and there was another suspended moment while he scanned the phone book. She might have married out of town.
No. Walter Gifford--Hillside 1191. Blood flowed back into his fingertips.
He remembered, or thought he remembered, the funny magic in the voice.
'Oh-h-h!' The note was utterly surprised, very polite, but he could distinguish in it neither joy nor certain recognition.
'--Donald!' added the voice. This time there was something more in it than struggling memory.
On his way Donald analysed the conversation. His words 'at the airport' established that he had retained his position in the upper bourgeoisie. Nancy's aloneness might indicate that she had matured into an unattractive woman without friends. Her husband might be either away or in bed. And--because she was always ten years old in his dreams--the highball shocked him. But he adjusted himself with a smile--she was very close to thirty.
She turned on the porch light and stared at him, wide-eyed and tentative. A smile broke through the puzzled expression.
As they walked inside, their voices jingled the words 'all these years', and Donald felt a sinking in his stomach. This derived in part from a vision of their last meeting--when she rode past him on a bicycle, cutting him dead--and in part from fear lest they have nothing to say. It was like a college reunion--but there the failure to find the past was disguised by the hurried boisterous occasion. Aghast, he realized that this might be a long and empty hour. He plunged in desperately.
It worked. The immediate recognition of their changed state, the bold compliment, made them interesting strangers instead of fumbling childhood friends.
She looked at him attentively, then sympathetically as he spoke.
'What else sticks in your mind?' he asked smiling.
Suddenly Nancy got up and walked quickly a little away.
It was the sleigh ride he remembered most and kissing her cool cheeks in the straw in one corner while she laughed up at the cold white stars. The couple next to them had their backs turned and he kissed her little neck and her ears and never her lips.
'And the Macks' party where they played post office and I couldn't go because I had the mumps,' he said.
'My God, yes! I--' He suddenly realized that they were standing just two feet from each other, that he was talking as if he loved her in the present, that she was looking up at him with her lips half-parted and a clouded look in her eyes.
Donald sat for five minutes with two thoughts--first the hopeless impossibility of reconciling what different people remembered about the same event--and secondly that in a frightening way Nancy moved him as a woman as she had moved him as a child. Half an hour had developed an emotion that he had not known since the death of his wife--that he had never hoped to know again.
Side by side on a couch they opened the book between them. Nancy looked at him, smiling and very happy.
'What a pity,' he said gently.
He was excited--but most of all confused. Had he kissed Nancy? or a memory? or this lovely trembly stranger who looked away from him quickly and turned a page of the book?
Donald said one of those trivial things that cover so much ground.
'Kiss me once more,' he said inconsistently, but Nancy had turned a page and was pointing eagerly at a picture.
He looked. It was a little boy in shorts standing on a pier with a sailboat in the background.
For a moment Donald failed to recognize himself in the photo--then, bending closer--he failed utterly to recognize himself.
'That's not me,' he said.
Now she was staring at him--leaning back, seeming to lift away from him.
She was on her feet--her face faintly horrified.
He tried for a monkish calm as he turned a page of the book.
Nancy spoke from the other side of the room.
'There isn't any story,' he hesitated. But he thought: So she was a bad little girl.
And now suddenly he was filled with wild raging jealousy of little Donald Bowers--he who had banished jealousy from his life forever. In the five steps he took across the room he crushed out twenty years and the existence of Walter Gifford with his stride.
'Kiss me again, Nancy,' he said, sinking to one knee beside her chair, putting his hand upon her shoulder. But Nancy strained away.
On his way to the airport Donald shook his head from side to side. He was completely himself now but he could not digest the experience. Only as the plane roared up into the dark sky and its passengers became a different entity from the corporate world below did he draw a parallel from the fact of its flight. For five blinding minutes he had lived like a madman in two worlds at once. He had been a boy of twelve and a man of thirty-two, indissolubly and helplessly commingled.
Donald had lost a good deal, too, in those hours between the planes--but since the second half of life is a long process of getting rid of things, that part of the experience probably didn't matter.


Look into domain flipping. People can bring in a surprisingly large amount of money just be selling domain names. It's like investing in real estate. Take a look at AdWords (by Google) to determine the best keywords to target. Try purchasing domains that make use of acronyms. Find some names that you think you can make money off of.
Search on Google if you want to maximize your earnings. Your search should yield many results. When you find something interesting, make sure you search for company reviews. Whatever you choose, stay cautious.
Beware sites where you have to make a bid to complete someone's work. These sites devalue you based on the fact that the lowest bid most frequently wins. There will be some people hiring on these sites who are decent, of course, but the bulk just want their work done cheaply.
Write your own Ebook for selling online. You can share your knowledge and your passion for a particular topic, and earn money in the process. Gardening or home decorating ideas could be a great place to begin.
Working online is likely not to make you a millionaire overnight. Even Perez Hilton or Ariana Huffington had to work hard to get their sites to be popular. The same goes for you, whether you are writing SEO articles or designing websites. Don't let frustration cause you to quit if you don't strike it rich quickly.


Hello, my boyfriend has recently told me that he is diagnosed with schizophrenia and I really could use some advice on what to do. I love him to pieces and I would never leave him because of this, but I've really never been in this situation before. I would ask him personally, but I'm really nervous and I've never really been comfortable with asking people about personal stuff. So what I'm generally asking is there like some Do's and Don'ts? I feel really awful putting this way because it feels like I'm generalizing the whole thing, but I really want to know how to handle this. I love him a lot and I just don't want to mess up.
It's lovely to see how much you care about your boyfriend and would like advice on how to continue the relationship while taking into consideration your boyfriend's diagnosis of schizophrenia.
I guess really it does depend on the symptoms that your boyfriend experiences and, if possible, how you can help. Perhaps start by reading up on schizophrenia and ask if he is comfortable talking about the symptoms he experiences, and if there is anything specific to him that you can do or should avoid doing. I understand that it can sometimes be a bit difficult in having conversations about mental health, but really, it's no different than asking someone about their physical health.
I don't have schizophrenia but I guess in general just continue the relationship as normal. Your boyfriend is the same person before the diagnosis and while the schizophrenia may affect him a lot at times, it doesn't define him. Ignore any of the stereotypes, myths and stigma about schizophrenia and mental health in general. And if you notice that his mental health is getting worse e.g. not looking after himself, being preoccupied with delusions then it's important to tell someone who can help him. He may be prescribed medication and it's important for him to continue the treatment even if he feels he is getting better. It's never good to stop medication without advice from a doctor as it can cause symptoms to get worse.

Q: Getting data from multiple images with one canvas This is a specific problem so I'm going to do my best explaining it.
I have a single canvas on my page. The user uploads a batch of files taken from the same camera angle. The canvas displays one of the images and the user draws over the image in a way that depicts an area of interest. The program then goes over this area of interest and extracts relevant RGB data from the pixels inside the area.
Now, what I'm having an issue with is then switching the canvas over to the next image to process that one as well. I have the area of interest still specified as an array of indexes inside the area. But, when trying to obtain the RGB data from the rest of the images, it only gives me the info about the first image.
Below are some relevant code snippets as well as their function.
This function loads up the next image in the fileUpload to the canvas
function readNextImage(i) {
  if (fileUpload.files && fileUpload.files[i]) {
    var FR = new FileReader();
    FR.onload = function(e) {
      fabric.Image.fromURL(e.target.result, function(img) {
        img.set({
          left: 0,
          top: 0,
          evented: false
        });
        img.scaleToWidth(canvas.width);
        img.setCoords();
        canvas.add(img);
      })
    };
    FR.readAsDataURL(fileUpload.files[i]);
  }
}

This snippet loads up an array with the image data.
var imgData = context.getImageData(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
var data = imgData.data;

So currently, I'm able to go through 'data' the first time and obtain the relevant RGB info I need. After I do that, I call the readNextImage() function, it loads it into the canvas, then I make another call to
var imgData = context.getImageData(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
var data = imgData.data;

to hopefully load the arrays with the new values. This is where it seems to fail as the values are the same as the previous iteration.
Is there a chance the program isn't given enough time between loading the canvas with the new image and trying to get the new data values? Is there something else that's going on with the canvas that I'm unaware of?
Here's where I'm actually calling the readNextImage() function
for (var image_num=0; image_num<fileUpload.files.length; image_num+=1){
    imgData = context.getImageData(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
    data = imgData.data;

    /*Lines of code that parses through the data object specified above*/

    readNextImage(image_num);
}

I'm hoping the problem is clear, let me know if anything is confusing.

A:
Edit 2:
links to articles about promises: promises 1 promises 2 promises 3

Edit: Instead of using a global canvas, use a local one created for each image instance:
    for (var image_num=0; image_num<fileUpload.files.length; image_num+=1){
    var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
    readNextImage(image_num,canvas);
    imgData = context.getImageData(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
    data = imgData.data;

    /*Lines of code that parses through the data object specified above*/
    }

function readNextImage(i,canvas) {
  if (fileUpload.files && fileUpload.files[i]) {
    var FR = new FileReader();
    FR.onload = function(e) {
      fabric.Image.fromURL(e.target.result, function(img) {
        img.set({
          left: 0,
          top: 0,
          evented: false
        });
        img.scaleToWidth(canvas.width);
        img.setCoords();
        canvas.add(img);
      })
    };
    FR.readAsDataURL(fileUpload.files[i]);
  }
}

The problem could be here (the previous image is still attached to the canvas):
canvas.add(img);

try removing the previous child(ren) before adding another one by replacing that line with:
while (canvas.firstChild) {
  canvas.removeChild(canvas.firstChild);
}
canvas.add(img);
canvas.getContext("2d").drawImage(img, 0, 0);

The 25 mm grenade is a type of explosive ordnance used in some modern grenade launchers. 25 mm grenades are armed after launch, after traveling a safe distance. Many types explode on impact, but others are designed to explode in mid-air after traveling a certain distance—used to clear entrenched or barricaded positions.

Examples of weapons designed to launch 25 mm grenades are the experimental XM25, the Barrett XM109 payload rifle, and the XM307 ACSW. The original use for this round was for the OCSW, now known as the XM307 ACSW.  Later, a low velocity variant of the OCSW round was chosen for the XM25, which is derived from the XM29 OICW.

There are two different versions of the 25mm grenade: the 25×40mm low-velocity round developed for the XM25, and the 25×59mm high-velocity round developed for the XM109 and XM307.

Yazidi Massacre in Afrin: Children Killed, Villages Bombed, Temples Destroyed
By Uzay Bulut | Saturday, March 24, 2018
Displaced people from the minority Yazidi sect, fleeing violence from forces loyal to the Islamic State in Sinjar town, walk towards the Syrian border as others ride on a donkey on the outskirts of Sinjar mountain, near the Syrian border town of Elierbeh of Al-Hasakah Governorate August 11, 2014. | (Photo: Reuters/Rodi Said)
Yazidis, a historically persecuted non-Muslim people in the Middle East, are yet again fleeing for their lives — this time from Turkey-backed jihadists invading Afrin in northern Syria.
Murad Ismael, executive director of Yazda, a relief organization for Yazidi victims of genocide, has alerted the world to the deadly threat posed by Turkish airstrikes many times on his social media accounts and on March 12 wrote on Twitter:
"We are evaluating what to do when the [whole] city falls, including an option to ask our people to leave the region altogether. We cannot have our people in Afrin under Al Nusra and other fundamentalists."
On March 18, his worst fears became reality. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared that the Turkish military and Turkey-backed jihadists of Free Syrian Army (FSA) took complete control of Afrin city center.
Saad Babir, Yazda's media director, said that since the beginning of the invasion, jihadists have attacked and captured several Yazidi villages as Turkish planes bombed the area including the Yazidi village of Ternda, which has been bombed by the Turkish military around 20 times.
There are 30 Yazidi villages located in Afrin and surrounding territories with a Yazidi population of around 20,000, Babir said in an exclusive interview with Haym Salomon Center.
The death toll has been heavy. "Many Yazidi civilians, including children, have been murdered," Babir said.
Hundreds of Yazidis have already fled their villages, and they are in need of food and medicine, he added.
Babir also pointedly remarked that Turkey-backed jihadists have destroyed many Yazidi temples in Afrin and converted others into mosques.
Yazidis are an indigenous and oppressed minority in the region with their own unique culture. The Islamic State (ISIS) invasion of Sinjar, the homeland of the Yazidis in Iraq, in August 2014 finally brought this persecuted community to the attention of the world. Yazidis say they have been subjected to 72 genocidal massacres. The latest genocide, committed by ISIS in Iraq, is the 73rd.
Following the invasion, ISIS terrorists kidnapped, raped and sold hundreds of Yazidi women and children. Babir said that over 3,000 Yazidi women and children are still held as captives by ISIS.
News reports on German TV channels NDR and SWR in 2015 revealed that Yazidis were also sold through an office in the city of Gaziantep in Turkey, near the border with Syria.
On April 17, 2016, the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reported that the Gaziantep police had raided the said office and found $370,000, many foreign (non-Turkish) passports, and 1,768 pages of Arabic receipts that demonstrate the transfer of millions of dollars between Turkey and Syria.
Six Syrians were brought to court for their involvement in crimes. All defendants were acquitted due to a "lack of evidence," but the Gaziantep Bar Association, which had filed a criminal complaint about the perpetrators, was not even invited to attend the hearings.
"The court made the decision of acquittal without looking into the documents found by police," said lawyer Mehmet Yalçınkaya, a member of the association. "We learned the decision of acquittal by coincidence. The fact that the trial ended in only 16 days and that the documents of 1,768 pages were submitted to the court after the decision of acquittal shows that it was not an effective trial."
Mahmut Toğrul, an MP of the opposition People's Democratic Party (HDP), in a motion to Efkan Ala, Turkey's then interior minister, asked questions about the office where ISIS members engaged in slavery and the sex trade. Ala provided no answers.
Toğrul has also been very critical of Turkey's invasion of Afrin. On March 7, during a session at Turkey's parliament, he criticized President Erdogan over his stated aim to carry out a demographic change in Afrin by sending Syrians in Turkey to Afrin. When Toğrul called this attempt by Erdogan an "ethnic cleansing," MPs of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) physically attacked him.
Toğrul later described the incident: "About 40 of them started coming towards us in a frenzy. They began punching me and my friends. I fell to the ground, and they continued to kick me. I was seriously beaten."
The Turkish government — with the help of the jihadists — openly targets and violates civilians in Afrin and beats up an opposition MP who calls for non-violence in the region.
Has NATO become so ineffective and weak that it cannot do anything to stop these atrocities?

As I roll up to the little box to order my food..."Hi...can you just give me a minute"
Sometimes I know exactly what I want to order at the drive thru but, I always ask for just one more minute to decide. I am very indecisive =not having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively.
And restaurants I take forever to order... two things that concern me are the price of the food item and will this satisfy my hunger. How often do we order way too much cause we are afraid that if we're not completely full we will have to inconvenience the waiter/waitress for more food. I am a food junky...especially ranch. All my friends know my obsession and odd love for Ranch. It is soooooo bad for you with a billion calories but it tastes so good.
I feel like sometimes what I'm hungry for doesn't always hit the spot or satisfy. There are certain fast food joints that I only order the same thing every time....for one I don't like to sway from habit and two, what if it doesn't satisfy and than I'm stuck with it..miserable and still hungry.
But, there is this one really cool place that all the cool people who live forever hang out. Its called "The well of living water" this place is not somewhere you can physically go to. The food is not edible but it has the most satisfying and quenching menu. All that thirst and hunger that keeps you up at night or keeps you out at night will be met.
Our end result, when we have finished the race, we will be perfectly complete lacking in nothing. I love this. Cause it is not based on my performance but rather accepting the transformation.
But many times we are tempted by the soft drinks and tasty cheeseburgers that deceive us from really knowing the true definition of SATISFIED. Growing up I had a lot of issues with how I was viewed, how I wanted a boyfriend, the confidence to get outside my comfort zone, the way I wanted attention. I grasped at things that would have never quenched my craving but rather make it worse. I was willing to settle, to compromise. Now in my head and heart I knew that the things of this world were only temporary...if it be love or lack their of from parents or attention from boys, I wanted what I didn't have.
"Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations."
SO, here we have Abraham being told he is going to be a father of MANY nations. And instead of holding onto that promise and being satisfied with it...he goes outside of the promise of God and creates His own idea of that promise. He sleeps with the maidservant. He was given a clear promise....but decided to hunger and thirst after the temporary.
When I don't fully understand God's forgiveness...I tend to question it. When I don't fully believe that Jesus loves me, all of me...I search for it in other ways. Because part of me doesn't want to get hurt.
As Christians we are guaranteed life everlasting. We are promised to be made perfectly complete lacking in nothing. WE are promised that the things of this world will NEVER fill our deepest desires, biggest dreams and the whole that longs to be overflowing with love. We must face it and put on the armor of God that will help us resist the thoughts that God isn't enough.
If you think that God is not enough than your view of Him is very small. He is big. His plans and thoughts and desires and hopes and dreams are bigger and more grand than you could ever hope to know. Do you get it?
Adam and Eve didn't just eat the fruit cause it looked tasty, they ate it cause they were hungry. They were hungry for the things that were temporary. I find it sad and funny that even with the most perfect mate, perfect communion with God, perfect promise being laid out, they chose the temporary. They chose ashes for the most satisfying and mouth watering feast. We can't overcome this deep hunger and thirst alone. We need His strength.
I'm so like Adam and Eve and Abraham. I don't always want to wait. I settle for less. I trust in my plans rather than His. I try to love my own way instead of loving through Him. I fail. And God knows. And God still gives me promises and still refines me and still satisfies. Because He is good.
If you are in that place where you are tired of the menu that the world offers you, or tired of always settling or maybe feeling as if you don't deserve to even partake of "the well of living water" than you are not alone. I really want to encourage you to stop and be still before the Lord. Lay your burdens and desires and struggles at His feet.
As as you pray for God to move radically, believe it. Be expectant of Him. When you genuinely seek God, He will desperately seek you.
This is real love at cost.

13 Movies to Watch this Halloween
I've always been one for a good scare. Therefore, Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. While I love to dress up, decorate pumpkins and watch horror movies this time of year, I'm a hardcore horror movie fan all year round (bet you never guessed that). Slasher films are okay, but most of my favorite horror movies have terrifying concepts behind them, which in my opinion, is what really makes them scary. Anyone can make a gory slasher film and call it horror, but it takes a true artist to put a terrifying concept on film and do it well. That being said, here are 13 of my favorites:
13. House of 1000 Corpses: When I was a sophomore in college, kids in my creative writing class told me that I should see this movie because I laugh just like the character Baby. After my good friend from class leant it to me, I watched it one night while studying and found just how disturbingly similar Baby's laugh was to mine. This movie is not for the occasional horror movie watcher. Being a Rob Zombie film, it's pretty hardcore. But, if you're a fan of Rob Zombie's unique film style and can handle some grotesque scenes, this is one of his best.
12: The Skeleton Key: This movie explores the inner workings of hoodoo in the south leading you down a dark path of southern tradition and deception. It tells the story of a young nurse who takes a job caring for an elderly couple in their old creepy mansion. While you learn that hoodoo can't hurt you unless you believe in it, nothing will prepare you for the twist ending.
11: Wolf Creek: While Wolf Creek does have some qualities of a typical slasher film, it's so much more than that. In typical slasher films, the protagonists tend to make bad decisions that are so stupidly unbelievable that they take away from the movie's credibility. This is quite the opposite. When a group of American tourists are stranded in a remote part of the Australian outback, they make the same decisions you would have made when they're offered a ride from a seemingly friendly local.
10: The Craft: The Craft is the definition of a cult classic. It's also an excellent coming of age story. I must admit that the four high school witches summoning the powers of the watchtowers of the north, east, south and west, totally take me back to my childhood days when I too played 'light as a feather, stiff as a board' at sleepovers. The goth fashions of the 90s against oppressing Catholic school uniforms also takes me back to my childhood making The Craft one of my favorite Halloween traditions.
9. Funny Games: This home invasion thriller will either leave you on the edge of your seat or cause you to leave the room. I can best describe Funny Games as A Clockwork Orange on Cape Cod. Shortly after arriving at their lakefront vacation home, a family of three is terrorized by two psychotic prepsters in white. The movie toys just as much with the audience as the killers do with their victims giving it a terrifyingly unique quality.
8: The Brotherhood: Though this film has all the elements of being a corny scary movie, I absolutely love the concept. Besides, it's important to have a few movies on this list to watch with friends who can't stomach a Rob Zombie film. The Brotherhood tells the story of a group of frat brother vampires (yes, you read that correctly) who use their vampirism to stay in college forever. Why didn't I think of that?
7: The Wicker Man: I've always been fascinated by cults and their strange rituals. The Wicker Man is one of the best depictions of their obscure nature. When a patrolman receives a letter from his former fiance, Willow, telling him that their daughter is missing, he goes to look for her on a private island where Willow lives as part of an odd matriarchal community that operates similar to a beehive. Get ready for a great twist at the end.
6: The Ring: Once you watch this movie about a creepy dead girl with a murderous videotape, you'll cringe every time your phone rings or someone turns on the TV. The Ring does an excellent job of taking everyday objects and making them frightening. Not only is the video itself super scary, but the backstory about the evil girl behind it will stick with you for years to come.
5: The Strangers: If you love a good home invasion film, this is one of the best. When a young couple is stranded in a remote cabin, they are terrorized by three masked strangers. What makes this movie unique is that the killers have little to no lines and wear masks for pretty much the whole movie making them even more mysterious and menacing.
4: Hocus Pocus: Though this movie scared the hell out of me when I was seven, it's not what any adult would consider a horror movie. However, it's undisputedly a Halloween classic that I watch over and over again throughout the month of October.
3. The Moth Diaries: The Moth Diaries is one of the most original vampire movies I've ever seen in that it tells the story of a vampire that doesn't live off blood, but off of human suffering. After her father's suicide, Rebecca's mother enrolls her in an all girls boarding school where she becomes happy again with the help of her best friend Lucie. When a newcomer arrives on campus and comes between her and Lucie, Rebecca becomes suspicious that there might be something evil about her.
2. American Mary: Unlike most horror movies that focus on killers or vampires, American Mary takes you deep into the taboo world of body modification. Mary is a broke medical student studying to be a surgeon. Against her better judgement, she starts performing freakish body modification surgeries on people looking to do some insane transformations. I'm so excited to see what the Soska sisters of Twisted Twins Productions come out with next.
1. Carrie: I've been watching Carrie on Halloween since I was a kid. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, my Mom would always rent it for me around Halloween and we would watch it together. Though I liked last year's remake a lot, you just can't beat the original. No one will ever be able to top the terrifying performance of the mother in the 1976 version. I read an interview with Stephen King where he revealed that Carrie was based on a girl he went to school with. Her mother was a fanatical gambling addict. As a result of her mother's crazy gambling habit, she only had one dress to wear to school and was horribly bullied for it. When she wore a new dress to school for the first time, the kids made fun of her even more. She later killed herself, but lives on forever as Carrie.

Halloween Glam
In case you haven't noticed, I love everything about Halloween. I love the scary movies, the chill in the fall air, and of course dressing up. It's a true celebration of fall and the occult. Though Halloween gets the reputation of being scary and it often is, it's so much more than that. When I saw these mannequins in the storefront of an Upper East Side florist, I realized just how glamorous Halloween can truly be.
So why should Christmas have all the fun? Here are my picks for some of the most glamorous Halloween accessories:
1. Jewelry Mask on Sequined Stick: I've always wanted to have a masquerade-themed Halloween party like in The Phantom of the Opera filled with sequins dresses and secret identities.
2. Alexander McQueen Two-Faced Skull Platform Pumps: They may cost you a month's rent, but there's nothing scarier than a shortage of McQueen in your wardrobe. These skullcandy chic shoes aren't just Halloween, they're for everyday.
3. Scary Script Halloween Party Invitations: Parties are all about the details and that starts with the invitation.
4. Halloween Steel Wire Cake Stand: This spiderweb cake stand could be the centerpiece of any October gathering.
5. Purple Flicker Candle with Spooky Halloween Scene: Candles always set a spooky mood making them an All Hallow's Eve decor essential.

Last Week, Hedi Slimane launched the house of Saint Laurent Paris back into fabulosity at Paris Fashion Week with his couture coven of witches. While most people got caught up in the collection's drama with Cathy Horyn, I became absolutely bewitched by the collection and spent hours trying to wrap my head around the fashion house's mysterious name change. Inspired by YSL SS13 and witch inspired fashion in general, I headed downtown to Enchantments, my favorite spiritual supply store, on 9th St. between 1st Ave. and Ave A.
I discovered Enchantments three years ago when I first moved the city. In the mist of searching for a job, I picked up a candle said to bring career success. I lit it for seven days as directed and by the next week, I had three interviews one of which was at Vogue. I didn't end up getting any of those positions, but I was happy to have brought forth a much-needed change in the universe. When I spoke to the owner, Stacy, about taking pictures at the store for my fashion blog, she mentioned having made custom candles for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry making me feel even more spiritually connected to my favorite fashion designers and editors. To rediscover your fashionable spiritual side, find Enchantments on Facebook and check out my photo shoot that just may make cauldrons and candles this season's hottest accessories.

Is Harry Potter a Socialite?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ruled the box office socialite style over the weekend as the biggest movie opening ever. The film brought in $168.6 Million in the U.S. alone. In New York City, being a socialite is like having magical powers. At the drop of a hat, everything at Saks can be yours and the lines in front of the hottest clubs disappear seconds after your approach. Harry Potter may be able to cast a spell upon the box office, but is he socialite? And what other spellbound socialites have disapparated from the mysterious mind of J.K. Rowling?
Harry Potter is famous for being famous. His overnight fame came shortly after he was born. He also has a lot of gold guarded by goblins in Gringotts. Not to mention he went to boarding school in a castle. Like many famous socialites, Harry Potter lives his life in the public eye as the subject of both news and gossip. The paparazzi and crazed reporters such as Rita Skeeter are constantly following him. Though he may not aspire to socialite fame, Harry Potter is a socialite through and through. However, numerous other socialite characters exist in the wizarding world. The Malfoys have a manor and flaunt their socialite status by sitting with the Minster of Magic at the Quidditch World Cup. Bellatrix Lestrange may be one of the most evil witches that ever lived, but shopping with her could be an elegantly bewitching experience, kind of like shopping with Blair Waldorf. Having grown up with Harry Potter, I'm sad that this marks the end of an era, but it was a great way to end it.

My New Address is 666 Park Ave.
Being a socialite can be wicked fun, not to mention a magical experience. But, what happens when the socialites are witches? I intend to uncover the dark world of socialite sorcery by making 666 Park Ave. my next beachside read. This new novel by Gabriella Pierce, is said to be a pure evil mixture of Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries. 666 Park Ave. tells the story of Jane Boyle, a Paris-based architect who falls in love with a rich and handsome Upper East Sider named Malcolm Doran. When she moves to New York to start her fairy tale life with Malcolm, Jane is entrenched into the dark secrets that come with being a part of the esteemed Doran clan, a family with a supernatural hold on New York's high society.
Those with deep pockets tend to have even deeper secrets. Jane's newfound magical abilities challenge everything she ever knew about good and evil. Not only must she cope with the pressures of wealth and witchcraft, Jane must also struggle with those who intend to take them from her. Forget everything you knew about Park Ave. princesses because in this fairy tale, it seems that the riches may be going to the witches for a change. 666 Park Ave. is available on Amazon. If this novel turns into a TV show or movie, it would be an honor to make a cameo appearance. In the meantime, I may pay a visit to the actual 666 Park Ave. located between 67th and 68th St.

Devil May Care (1977)
Writing as Barbara Michaels: Into the Darkness (1990)
Jacqueline Kirby
The Seventh Sinner (1972)
I read one book in this series years and years ago, and remembered next to nothing about it other than I wanted to read the other books in the series, so when I came across the ebooks on sale, I snatched them up.
First, this story was copyrighted in 1972, which I hadn't realized until I started. Second, I think it has aged surprisingly well, with a few anachronisms (like the smoking and the clothes and a couple of mentions of previous political events, such as the Six Days War).
And some things are very slow to change.
"After a year in Rome I'm used to being pinched," Ann said.
Part of the reason it may have aged well is that characters were all students of antiquities. When the characters are talking about saints and visiting ancient ruins, you've already got a pretty good sense of timelessness.
That and so many bits were pretty much outside of time.
Half the trouble in human relations arises from expecting human beings to conform to a single one-dimensional image. We are all hydra-headed monsters. But most people never learn that."
It will be a long, long time," said Jean softly, "before I can close my eyes at night without seeing him the way he looked, just before—"
"Forget it. I mean it literally, even if it does sound cruel. The time will come when you won't think of it. And much sooner than you believe."
"But that bothers me too. Death is such a final thing, it ought to…well, affect the world more than it does."
But of course the best part of this story was that Jacqueline Kirby is middle aged.
"That's one of the advantages of middle age. You don't have to pretend you're cultured."
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and dove right into the next book in the series (there aren't many).
The Murders of Richard III (1974)
The second Jacqueline Kirby book finds her in England. Her friend Thomas is a Ricardian–part of a group that wants to rehabilitate the image of Richard III.
It's been dated to about 1580. Like most of the other portraits of Richard, it was probably copied from a lost original. The only one that might be a contemporary portrait is in the Royal Collection. When it was X-rayed recently, the experts found that parts of it had been painted over. Originally the right shoulder was lower, even with the left, and the eyes were not so narrow and slitlike."
"I mean his real character, not the one the Tudor historians invented. Everything that is known about Richard's actions supports the picture of a man of rare integrity, kindness, and courage. At the age of eighteen he commanded armies, and led them well. He administered the northern provinces for his brother the king, and won lasting loyalty for the house of York by his scrupulous fairness and concern for the rights of the ordinary citizen against rapacious nobles. He supported the arts. He was deeply religious."
Thomas takes her to a proper English house party, where his group hopes to reveal a letter proving that Richard III did not kill his nephews, but while there, as series of morbid jokes, possibly reenacting the murders of which Richard III was accused, worries Jacqueline.
First, I really like Jacqueline as a character. She's middle aged, and she's got a fabulous attitude.
"No wonder I love England," she remarked some time later, after devouring most of a plate of cream-filled buns. "People eat so often here. Morning tea, breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea —"
"I don't think I can afford you," said Thomas.
"I know you can't." Jacqueline gave him a look that left him momentarily speechless.
"Where did you acquire your stock of expletives? I haven't heard anyone say 'cripes' since I was eight years old."
"I'm trying to reform my vocabulary. The students have a bad effect on me. The words sound foul enough coming from them, but from a lady of my years and dignity…"
Remember, this is set in the early 1970s.
But it's really fun and amusing.
To walk in the rain with the lady you love is romantic when you are eighteen. When you are fifty it is merely conducive to sniffles and rheumatism.
The mystery is particularly interesting, since a book titled The Murders of Richard III doesn't actually have murders. And aside from the lack of modern technology, this book has aged well. Probably the setting in an old English castle where everyone dresses as characters from Richard's time helps, but there is still something about the writing that has allowed the book to age well.
Now I just have to wait for the next book in the series to go on sale.
Die for Love (1984)
The third Jacqueline Kirby book finds Jacqueline headed to New York for a romance conference (it was the only thing she could find to let her escape Nebraska for awhile).
Why do I like Jacqueline?
"You can have this when I'm finished, if you like."
"Really? Oh, that's really nice! But you won't finish it before we get to New York."
"Oh yes, I will."
"Well, that is really nice of you. Books are so expensive. I read four or five of them a week, and that really adds up."
She reads fast and she is generous with books she has been given for free.
"Then you must have a weakness for weirdos."
"I do—if you mean people with unorthodox opinions about obscure subjects. They're much more interesting than so-called normal people."
Plus she's a fan of weirdos.
She arrives at the conference and is surprised by the amount of hostility she feels in the undercurrents–and that most of the featured authors are not what they seem.
This story aged a little less well than the previous two, mostly because I don't believe that modern fandom is at all what was presented here.
It was fun, but I didn't like it as well as the earlier books.
Ellie is heading to VA to housesit while her Aunt Kate heads on a short vacation. But after Kate leaves, a series of strange events leads her to wonder if something supernatural is happening in the house.
First, Ellie's fiance is awful, and you can see the whole thing heading south, even if Henry can't. I really like the way that was done.
"I wouldn't josh you, darling," Ellie said. Her voice had a peculiar note. Henry had heard that tone rather often in the last few months. It did not occur to him to wonder about it, which was perhaps unfortunate for him.
Opening the book with Henry makes Kate's immediate dislike of him understandable, and you're rooting for her to help Ellie see the light.
Henry said heartily. "You and I are going to be pals, Aunt Kate."
Kate turned and gave him a long, thoughtful look.
I was a little bit amused by Ted, who is gay, although those words are never ever said. It's all subtext and insinuation.
It's a fun story, and I very much enjoyed it.
Naked Once More (1989)
How old is this book?
This old.
Jacqueline proceeded on her way, pleased but wondering how the young officer had known who she was. She couldn't be the only handsome middle-aged lady with green eyes and auburn hair driving a car with New York plates and a Mondale-Ferraro sticker on the bumper.
I read this ages and ages ago, after I found it in the used book store. And I never found any other books in the series used. But eventually I found them as ebooks, and eventually the final book went on sale.
Interestingly, it was ahead of it's time in many ways.
She hoped her lack of glamour would get the point across to St. John, though she would have scorned to make herself unattractive for that reason alone. The messages some men professed to read in sexy clothes and makeup were pure wishful thinking. By their archaic standards, the only garment that didn't give them a reasonable excuse for rape was the all-enveloping robe and face veil of fundamentalist Moslem countries.
It was as fun as I remember. Over the top at times, certainly, but that's part of its charm.
Jacqueline started the engine. "Good-bye, Mr. Spencer. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this."
"Oh, I doubt that. I'll bet you could if you tried." He stepped back.
What makes the story is Jackqueline's wit combined with her self-awareness. She recognizes when she is being ridiculous and goes on to own it.
Jacqueline settled herself behind the gate on a folding stool she had brought with her, wondering why the hades she was wasting her time on this side issue. Could it be— was it possible— that she was just plain nosy, as some people had claimed? Yes, it was, Jacqueline decided.
I admire that in anyone, but it's more fun when it's a middle aged woman who knows her own mind.
The people who yearned for the good old days might not have enjoyed the reality; good old days before penicillin and heart surgery, social security and minimum wages.
Not to mention air-conditioning, imported chocolates in every supermarket, and the demise of the corset. So far as Jacqueline was concerned, they could keep the good old days.
Oh. Right. There is a mystery here.
Seven years earlier best-selling author Kathleen Darcy disappeared. Now enough time has passed that she has been declared dead, and her heirs are looking for someone to write the sequel to the book that made her famous (and millions of dollars).
Since Jacqueline loved the book, she decides to put herself in the running once she learns who the other candidates are–not because she believes she can write the book Kathleen Darcy could have written, but because she's worried that most of the other candidates would do a terrible job of it.
It's very silly, but it's also fun, and I enjoyed it very much.
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Writing as Barbara Michaels
Into the Darkness (1990)
Meg Venturi's grandfather is a renowned jeweler, and his death leaves her his heir. But Meg has tried to escape the business and her past, including the deaths of her parents that led her to being raised by her grandparents and becoming the sole heir.
It wasn't until after she learned the truth about what had happened to her father that her love of jewels was contaminated and she turned away from anything that would remind her of his treachery.
This is a mystery as much as a romance, but I found the mystery parts a bit confusing, in that there were a couple of leaps I missed, despite being pretty sure who the bad guy in the story was.
Yet despite that, I did enjoy the story, mostly because I really like all her secondary characters, and how she always has middle aged and older characters who are fully developed.
You know Janine's got three kids now? I think I've got some pictures of the baby—" He reached toward his pocket.
"What do you mean, think?" Barby demanded. "You'd as soon go out without your pants as without those pictures.
So despite the weakness of the mystery, and that the romance seemed a little off to me, I did enjoy the story and will close with this quote.
"That's the only way to live. Enjoying people while they're with us, enjoying the memories after they're gone."

Happy Tail: Piccola
By Kanza Elmes | Published: December 27, 2019
Life for Piccola began outdoors in Toronto. Along with her siblings, she was born underneath a deck at a local home in the city. At the time, the homeowner had tended to the kittens and cared for them, until they had been rescued by ACR. Brought into foster care, they were tended by Deborah.
Piccola was quite the curious and watchful cat. Deborah recalls, "She was always watching and observing what was happening around her before she acted. We considered her quite smart because of that trait."
Meanwhile, Celeste had spent half a year debating on whether she would adopt a cat. After having returned home from university, and with her previous cat passing away, she had felt it was time for a new friend. Celeste started by following ACR on Instagram, and briefly checked on their website. Then one day, she came across a special cat.
Celeste fondly recalls that moment saying, "She was a tuxedo cat, like my previous cat, and they both had the same white face and black nose." To this day, Celeste still has the original screenshot image from when she first saw Piccola's posting on ACR!
Upon visiting the cat at Deborah's home, Celeste notes that Piccola was initially very shy, which is still the case today when she comes across new people. Unfortunately, Piccola's spay incision had become infected, which had delayed the adoption process. However Celeste came to visit Piccola during her recovery period.
When Piccola was finally ready to come home with Celeste, she did take a little while to adjust and had initially spent time in Celeste's bedroom along with her food and litter. Celeste mentions that her other cat Link is an alpha male, and is rather skeptical of new cats. As time passed, Celeste would let Piccola outside for short periods of time, helping her acclimatize to her new environment. The two cats eventually were introduced, and over time became close buddies!
Today, Piccola is doing quite well, and established with her new family. Though Piccola does take a bit longer to warm up to new guests, she reveals herself as a loving and goofy cat. With her own personal alarm clock, Celeste mentions, "She wakes me in up in the morning by kneading my hair."
Also a giant goofball, Piccola has even learned how to fetch, and appreciates playing with balls that crinkle. Piccola is quite the active cat, and as Celeste says, "she enjoys playing around, as my dad says 'flirting' with us to have us play with her."

Today you can go to the theatre almost any night of the week. In ancient Athens, plays were only performed during late winter and early spring. This may have been because of the hot Greek climate. The theatres were outdoors and the plays were performed in daylight.
The theatre of Ancient Greece flourished between 550 BC and 220 BC.
The emphasis in Euripides' Orestes on political factions, for example, is directly relevant to the Athens of 408 BCE. The performances of the tragedies took place in Athens on the occasion of the Great Dionysia, feasts in honor of Dionysus celebrated in the month of Elaphebolion, towards the end of March.
Plays were performed in an open-air theatre (theatron) with wonderful acoustics and seemingly open to all of the male populace (the presence of women is contested).
IT\'S FUNNING: How did the sea affect the development of ancient Greece?
As it was not unusual for the theatrical performances to last from ten to twelve hours, the spectators required refreshments, and we find that, in the intervals between the several plays, they used to take wine and cakes.
The episode is the part that falls between choral songs and the A stasimon is a stationary song, sung after the chorus has taken up its station in the orchestra. Typically there are three to six episode/stasimon rotations. … (ii) An episode is a whole part of a tragedy that is between whole choral songs.
The theatre of ancient Greece was at its best from 550 BC to 220 BC. It was the beginning of modern western theatre, and some ancient Greek plays are still performed today. They invented the genres of tragedy (late 6th century BC), comedy (486 BC) and satyr plays.
Greek theatre masks were designed so that the spectators could see the expressions of the actors more clearly, therefore building their understanding of the story. Greek masks had large mouth holes so that the actors could effectively project their voice through the mask.
Thirty-two Greek tragedies have survived into the modern period.
chorus, in drama and music, those who perform vocally in a group as opposed to those who perform singly. The chorus in Classical Greek drama was a group of actors who described and commented upon the main action of a play with song, dance, and recitation.
IT\'S FUNNING: Best answer: Do they speak Greek in Sicily?
Oedipus Rex is an opera-oratorio in two acts composed by Stravinsky in 1926–27 after Sophocles's tragedy Oedipus Tyrannus and is scored for a speaker, soloists, male chorus and orchestra.
To name a few differences, Greek plays were performed in an outdoor theater, used masks, and were almost always performed by a chorus and three actors (no matter how many speaking characters there were in the play, only three actors were used; the actors would go back stage after playing one character, switch masks and …
Everyone could attend Ancient Greek plays, even prisoners! 2. What is a satire play? Satires were plays that made fun of mortal legends and of real people.
Each play was usually only ever performed once. Greek theatres were huge. The theatre of Dionysus in Athens could hold 15,000 spectators. The audience sat on seats carved out of a hillside.
Athenian characters wore more elaborate, decorated versions of everyday clothing, such as a tunic or undergarment (chitôn or peplos), a cloak or over-garment (himation). Costumes for characters that were non-Athenians were more outlandish. … Some plays even called for actors to wear animal costumes.
How many masks survive from ancient Greece? Why? There are not any masks that remain from the Greeks because they were made out of organic materials and the were dedicated to the altar of Dionysus after each performances.

Whether driving in city traffic or coming out of a curve at speed: Adaptive Transmission Management (ATM) recognises your individual driving style and automatically selects the right gear at the right moment, eliminating unnecessary shifts.
ATM integrates data input from the accelerator pedal and the engine management system. By analysing the timing and manner that the driver applies the accelerator, ATM autonomously learns the driver's style - noting, for example, whether the engine brake is often used, or if a gear is downshifted to accelerate out of curves. This pattern is continuously monitored, so that ATM always adapts to the style of the current driver.
In addition to the driver's individual style, ATM analyses the prevailing driving conditions: driving in winter or in mountainous areas, ATM shifts gears differently to driving in normal conditions. Stop-and-go traffic or winding roads are recognised. This results in fewer and more precise gear shifts, letting you fully focus on the dynamic performance of your BMW.
