His friend and opponent George Bernard Shaw called him a "colossal genius".
If we no longer consider G.K. Chesterton a colossal genius, it is not because we consider him any less brilliant now but because we do not consider him at all.
If Chesterton were the colossal proponent of progressive liberal ideas, he would likely still be enshrined in the pantheon of early twentieth-century luminaries alongside his contemporaries Shaw and H.G. Wells. But the orthodox Christianity he championed, the Roman Catholic version in his latter life, no longer seems the kind of cause we consider worthy of the service of modern geniuses.
His books and essays on the topic of religion—as well as on social issues, economics, literary criticism and humour—can still be read and appreciated today as brilliantly witty, insightful and sensible polemics. You can find most of them on the Internet, on sites devoted to Chesterton. Look especially for his two greatest Christian apologetics, Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925).
But for most readers today he is remembered for a series of mystery stories he wrote to support the work he considered more important.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born into a middle-class family in London. He dropped out of university College to work as a journalist. For the rest of his life most of his work appeared first in periodicals, including his own publication, G.K.'s Weekly.
He was also a poet, his first book being a collection, Greybeards at Play (1900). This was followed by his first two of many literary biographies, Robert Browning (1903) and Charles Dickens (1906), and his first novel The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904), a political satire which many readers consider his most entertaining work.
The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) is widely considered his best fictional work. The novel is presented as a detective story but its surrealistic twists and unworldly characters turn it into a Christian allegory—a king of "metaphysical thriller", as it's been called.
His first short story featuring the crime-solving priest, Father Brown, was "The Blue Cross", appearing in a magazine in 1910. With eleven other stories, it was reprinted in The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), which became a sensation. Critics and readers saw it as the greatest development of the mystery since Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Four other such collections of stories were published during Chesterton's life: The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914), The Incredulity of Father Brown (1926), The Secret of Father Brown (1927) and The Scandal of Father Brown (1935).
Chesterton produced over a hundred books during his lifetime, and many more anthologies of his works have been published since his death in 1936.
Unfortunately in recent decades his works and ideas have disappeared from public discourse, leaving only an impression of stuffy reaction in the collective memory. Which is our loss, as his writings—like those of the yet popular C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien—ventured beyond their religiously conservative underpinnings to offer insights into life in this world to provoke readers of even little or no faith. If it's only his mysteries and mysterious satire that survive widely to draw the occasional reader back into his heavier thoughts, then that's all to the good.
And for those of us for whom the popular works are enough—well, that alone is a greater legacy than Chesterton himself probably gave himself credit for.

University heads call for greater focus on open science
Open science, the movement to make scientific research accessible to all levels of society, is pivotal to the future development of institutions of higher education, university presidents said at the WLA University Presidents Forum in Shanghai on Monday.
The presidents of Chinese and foreign universities who attended the event also agreed that universities should share knowledge, data, and innovations that could help address issues such as global warming, food security, sustainable energy and infectious diseases. They added that important major discoveries largely hinge on scientific infrastructures that are open and shared across academic and country borders.
A part of the Fourth World Laureates Forum, the WLA University Presidents Forum saw 131 world science awardees, including 68 Nobel Prize laureates, participating online and offline. The forum is hosted by the World Laureates Association and the China Association for Science and Technology.
Gong Qihuang, executive vice-president of Peking University, said that institutions of higher institutions from around the world should lay down open, transparent, equitable and inclusive regulations regarding open science and form an institutionalized and regulated track for this theme.
He said Peking University has been committed to promoting open science and the concept of openness for years.
"Nowadays, papers published by Peking University about research projects involving collaborations with other institutions account for one-third of the total of our published research results," said Gong, who is also a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Hugh Brady, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, added that open science is part of a wider open research agenda.
"Open research practices are relevant across all disciplines, and engaging a broad range of disciplines is critical," said Brady, who attended the forum via video link.
Etienne Auge, vice-president of University of Paris-Saclay, said that open science practice at universities should also strive to have more interactions with non-academic entities.
"These entities include companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, citizen science, and societal debates involving science," he said.

Tackling a clogged drain – How would you unclog one and retain free movement of water?
All plumbing systems eventually develop clogs and there is nothing that you can do to avoid it. But that doesn't mean that you can't unclog them and regain free flowing water movement. The only good news for homeowners is that all clogged drains, sinks and plugged toilets can be fixed without always seeking help of a professional plumber. You just need to have the right tools and enough determination to solve plumbing issues like these. There are times of stubborn clogs that happen in your kitchen sink, toilet or floor drain. We have compiled a list of steps and the things that you can use in order to unblock blocked drains in your house. Check them out.
This is simple enough but it can be extremely effective. Take a wire coat hanger and straighten it as much as you can. Bend one end of the hanger to create a small hook-like portion. Push it inside the cover of the drain and start poking and soon you will see that all sorts of nasty stuff-like hair and other waste materials will come out of the drain. Always make sure that you will be pulling out junk and not pushing it. Ensure that it clears up things nicely.
Do you have a wet and dry vacuum which you get from shops? If answered yes, they can be a useful tool to unblock blocked drains. Set the vacuum cleaner to vacuum liquids and cover the vent to prohibit a mess. On the top of the drain, try to create the tightest seal and you may even choose to get creative and use an old head of a plunger for the purpose. As the vacuum is turned on to the highest setting, it can be powerful to draw up the clog on the pipe within the vacuum bag. Although it always doesn't work but you can definitely try.
Take 1/3rd cup of vinegar along with 1/3rd cup of baking soda in a measuring cup. You will find it fizzing immediately and don't waste any time in pouring it into the clogged drain. This fizzy nature of the mixture will help remove all kinds of junk, hair, grime that has built up within the pipe. Allow it to rest there for an hour or overnight if possible. Then flush it off with hot water. You may also do this in a different way by pouring dry baking soda into the pipe first and then pouring the vinegar. The effect will be the same.
If you've been reading this entire article, chances are high that you have faced this kind of issue sometime or someday and then you didn't have enough knowledge on unclogging clogged drains. Hence, take into account the above mentioned points to take care of your drains and pipes which lead to the outdoor.


Instead of another extension and conversion of the already functionally, structurally and visibly patchwork existing buildings, this project proposes completely rebuilding the swimming complex. The replacement building takes the form of a clear, three storey volume organised along the edge of the Hummelhof forest. Complex inter-relationships among functions within the building are accommodated by simple spatial and structural systems. The transparent ground floor area contains, apart from the swimming pool, all public areas. Transparency is used here to make the presence and proximity of the forest tangible, even from within the baths. The sauna and wellness areas are held in a floating volume. Here the façades are opaque, with light seeping in through openings leading to large terraces in the wellness area, as well as courtyards in the sauna area. This internal structure and the various ways light is allowed to enter create interesting spatial experiences and an ever changing view into the vivid bustle of the outdoor pool, the serenity of the planted courtyards or the green arboreal landscape of the forest.


So this has been talked about slightly and been made into threads before but I thought it could benefit more here and possibly get more attention.
I would love for the next (not leaked) clothing pack, to be uniforms for the counselors. They could be from the movies or something completely different. I always imagined yellow t-shirts with "Crystal Lake Counselor" on the back of it, and some blue jeans or just pants in general. Some shorts would look nice too.
When making the character unique, you can add little details to add some flavor. Adam could have his sleeves cut off, Tiffany could have the end of her shirt tied in a bow, AJ could have ripped jeans, ect.
I've seen this type of clothing pack get lots of positive reactions and thought it would be a cool clothing pack to add to the game. Definitely brings in that mood and atmosphere to the game that the Swimsuits and Halloween costumes just didn't have.
What are your guys thoughts on something like this?
I'm surprised how few clothing packs and whatnot they've done. It's an easy way to make money, and this is a game that gives away content updates for free.
I wonder why they give a lot of free content lol, is it some sort of incentive for something?
Agreed, but if it was so easy to do, you would think the DLC Counselors would get them too.
I would rather have a different kind of clothing pack. Maybe make a season pass for all the clothing packs they're going to make...? I would like that because what if they make a Spring Break 1984 pack for the additional counselors, and then a few months later add a new one? That gets annoying as hell.
I agree we need that also, but this would be cool for down the road.
Nooo, no more silly outfits! That Halloween pack never should have came out in the first place.
LOL what about a new years party pack?
It's to avoid fragmenting the playerbase and making matchmaking even more problematic.
Anyhoo, I like the idea of camp counselor uniforms. Find it kinda weird that none of Jennys alternate texture sets are a counselor uniform, she's already wearing a collared tee and pants that would work perfectly.
@Flyin_J LOL I think he likes the idea ?
@Lyric Aye. I'm one of those guys.
I would love to see a 80's hair metal t-shirt pack. I would gladly pay $2.99 to sport a Winger t-shirt. I realize there would be licencing issues but most of those bands could use the money so maybe they can get the licences cheap.
Thanks! I've always liked this idea and thought it would look pretty nice in-game ?
I want the outfits/uniforms Barry and Claudette had in part 1 for all counselors.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I meant, yellow shirt with logo and khaki pants (short or long pants). I know I'd use them, it'd really add to the atomosphere making it feel less like a random group of people being stalked.
This very sensible idea has been floated around for a few years now, yellow and red rain jackets (from the first film) as well. I really don't think it will be happening now - would've surely happened by now. It's a far too logical and sensible for the developers to adhere to.
I think people need to suggest things like a bee fancy dress outfit, pink alligator outfit, and NASA 1960's spacesuit outfit and cowboy outfit and then people may start to see some traction on a new clothing pack.
If we push for something. Or they see that a lot of the community likes an idea, I thunk they would go for it. Currently vomiting while reading that last paragraph ?
I feel for you. I had severe bouts of vomiting when I joined a game in October and was surrounded by silly Halloween costumes and a Purple Jason.
Yep, I support a push for something good all the way. I'm just cynical enough now to keep my expectations extremely low.
Maybe something like this would look okay?


They knew exactly how would go down. And yet, they did it anyway.
The LOLs are worth it for Australian radio presenters, Hamish and Andy, who sold all their bitcoin (!) in order to buy an old SAAB convertible. Why, you ask? Oh, just to drive it through a carwash on camera.
You know, just to see what that'd be like. Silly? Yes. But will it bring a smile to your dial? Also, yes.
We imagine they've never been cleaner in their lives.

Classic Isn't Forever: The End of RuneScape Classic
Posted on July 7, 2018 July 6, 2018 by Lory
Nothing lasts forever, and you can only hold onto the past for so long until the future finally catches up to you. By then, you are left with no other choice but to let go. For a lot of RuneScape Classic players, that time has finally come.
After 17 long and fruitful years, RuneScape Classic will finally be closing its doors.
Back in its Time
Before we look at the sad yet inevitable end of RuneScape Classic's run, let us first look back to the time when the term MMORPG was still fresh and new. There was Everquest, Asheron's Call, and of course RuneScape. One of the subgenre's pioneers, RuneScape brought a wide range of adventurers to Gielinor, a medieval realm full of action, magic, and Middle Age fantasy Europe stuff. On the surface, it sounds stereotypical. That is until you dive right in and realize that, despite being slightly inferior in the graphics and art style department compared to its contemporaries–and more so with its more recent rivals–it more than makes up for it in terms of gameplay and amount of quality content. Because there are no classes to choose from, anyone can have theprecise skills they want, and therefore do anything they please–if they're hardworking enough, granted they have enough OSRS Gold. And because there are lots of things to do, there's hardly a dull moment.
Future Over Past
Over time, like all games, RuneScape began changing for the better. But people, especially gamers, for some strange reason, are easily affected by nostalgia goggles. Thus, despite the slow but steady marching of time, which in turn meant the continued updates and upgrades of RuneScape, a good chunk of players wanted to have a legacy server. Thus, RuneScape Classic was born, an alternate Gielinor unaffected by changes, for better or worse.
Unfortunately, not even creating a separate server could what's destined to happen. While what Jagex did ultimately helped to preserve a version of the original RuneScape's format and keep it in a livable, breathable state for seventeen years– much longer than it should've lasted–the company adopted tools for RuneScape 3 and Old-School RuneScape. Unfortunately, those tools are not compatible for RuneScape Classic, which in turn meant loss of support for the game. A shame really, as RuneScape Classic can still have up to a thousand players from time to time.
For Old Times' Sake
A game no longer supported is a game no longer maintained, and a game no longer maintained means an overabundance of bugs and issues. For RuneScape 3, that was very much a reality. Botting has become a common problem, and various game-breaking bugs plagued this old, old iteration of Gielinor. Because of this, Jagex has decided to finally pull the plug on it. "It has been amazing to see such dedication amongst those of you who have kept playing RuneScape Classic over the last few years," said Jagex in their goodbye post.
There is no reversingJagex's decision. Thankfully, the company is giving its devout RuneScape Classic players a considerable amount of time before they completely pull the plug, which will be on August this year. Until then, the old-timers can have their last few romps around good old Gielinor. Hopefully, they'll be able to move to the next worlds. If they stick with RuneScape, that would be either to RuneScape 3 or Old-School RuneScape. The former is the game's most updated and therefore most user-friendly and graphically most impressive version, while the latter is the version that is, for a lack of a better term, "stuck" in 2007 due to popular demand.
All things come to an end. And for Classic RuneScape, it's about time it did. It already had its run, and it's a good one at that. So kudos to the adventurers who stuck around! May they find as much joy and success in their next gaming world, be it another Gielinor or another different world altogether.

SHEBOYGAN — Josh Govek knew entering Friday's contest against Notre Dame history would likely be made.
The Sheboygan South junior was 13 points away from breaking the school's all-time scoring record of 1,054 points, set in 1977 by former Redwings great and current Manitowoc Lutheran coach Gordy Zastrow.
Knowing he was on the precipice of such an achievement, averaging 23.8 points per game, Govek admitted he thought a little bit too much about the game.
"I was a little too hyped up," Govek said.
Whether or not he was too amped didn't change the fact Govek did exactly what he set out to do, scoring the required 13 plus plenty to spare as part of a 32-point outing in a 67-55 victory.
While everyone, rightfully so, was busy congratulating Govek, Zastrow too got plenty of attention from friends and family following Friday's game.
"I got lots of texts. The response was, 'Holy cow, you were a player?," Zastrow laughed when reminiscing about his own playing days.
The Lancers coach didn't think it would take over four decades for his record to be broken.
It might not have been on Zastrow's mind, but it was on Govek's.
"Growing up, I had a clue I could play varsity as a freshman so I had a goal for it," Govek said.
Having a whole extra season and change before he graduates, Govek hopes his record has staying power.
"I hope it stays a while, but if they break it they'll have earned it so it's fine with me, however long it lasts," Govek said.
Govek was so focused on winning the game, he admits he forgot to grab the game ball at first.
"Our manager went and got it for me, so that was nice," Govek said.
With his legacy secured, Govek's sole purpose is to now help lead South to as many wins as possible before he graduates.
"Now that this is done and passed me, I want to win some games," Govek said.
Mishicot's Kylie Schmidt dominated Thursday's 66-49 win over Ozaukee, scoring 34 points while hauling in 16 rebounds for a double-double. Also in the game, the Warriors' Gabby Klas tallied 20.
Maddy Near was the other girls player to break 20 points this week, notching 25 in Howards Grove's 67-41 victory against Valders on Monday.
Besides Govek's record-setting performance, two other boys players cracked the 30-point threshold.
Manitowoc Lutheran's Trey Zastrow poured in an area-best 35 on Friday in a 62-53 loss at the hands of Hilbert, while Roncalli's Ian Behringer tallied 31 in an 84-55 victory over Kiel on Thursday.

WHEEL LAKE-BANNER MARSH
County: Peoria
Acreage: 45
Boat Fishing? 25hp Limit
Boat Ramps? No
Skiing? No
Swimming? No
East End, West End
There are zebra mussels in this lake.
The bluegill population was sampled by 2 stock-size fish in 2016. The bluegill population continues to have a poor size structure and body condition. No fish were over 7 inches in length. The food and space competition with gizzard shad and common carp have continued the slow growth of the bluegill.
The channel catfish population are in good body condition and 98% of the fish were over 18 inches in length. An annual stocking of up to 700 non vulnerable channel catfish occurs each year. Site Regulation: Six fish daily limit.
In 2016, there was an improvement in the size structure for both of the crappie populations from the last 5 years. Over 30% of the crappie population was over the 9 inch minimum size limit. Site Regulation: 25 fish daily limit, 9" minimum length limit.
FLATHEAD CATFISH
A brood stock introduction of flathead catfish was completed in 2000. 126 fish were stocked at an average weight of 4.9 pounds each. These fish should reproduce and maintain a low density population in the Marsh. Their diet has been shown to consist mainly of gizzard shad, bullheads, crawfish, carp, bluegill and crappie. In 2016, 10 fish from 22 to 43.7 inches were collected. Natural reproduction and recruitment has been occurring in Wheel Lake.
The largemouth bass population, evaluated by lectrofishing in 2016, showed a high percentage of fish from 7 to 20 inches with good relative weight values. The 2016 survey indicated a size structure that is continuing to maintain a good level and stability since 2001. Site Regulation: 3 fish daily limit, 12 – 18" protected slot length.
A total of 26 muskie were sampled by the spring trapnet survey in 2016, and ranged in size from 24 to 45.3 inches long. The body condition of these fish was very good. Muskie had been stocked annually in Wheel Lake since the fall of 1996 at a rate of 350 fish per year. No muskie were stocked in 2015 or 2016. A triennial stocking is now scheduled to maintain a moderate density of healthy muskie. Illinois (Jake Wolf) muskie strain appear to be doing very good in this lake. Site Regulation: 1 fish daily limit, 42" minimum length limit.
A limited population of large fish is present from a single stocking. Site Regulation: 6 fish daily limit, 14" minimum length limit.
Location: Wheel Lake is located in Central Illinois in the 5,524 acre Banner Marsh State Fish and Wildlife Area, which lies adjacent to the Illinois River, 4 miles north of Banner, Illinois, along Route 24.
Description: Banner Marsh SFWA was characterized by narrow strip pits and upland ponds, but in 1994, the hydrology changed due to the intentional cessation of pumping operations in the levee district. The water level rose approximately 7 feet (435 M.S.L.) due mainly to groundwater recharge by seepage under the existing 1-100 year flood-tight levee with the Illinois River. The total surface water acreage for the site increased from 530 acres to approximately 2400 acres and created a large vegetated littoral zone.
Wheel Lake (approximately 350 acres) is a deep final cut lake which is connected to a large series of strip mine wheel cut lakes. The wheel cut portion contains points, islands, flooded brush and diverse aquatic vegetation, while the final cut portion has little littoral zone and gravel substrate. The maximum water depth is 60 feet. Water clarity averages 4 feet in the summer.
History and Status of the Sport Fishery: The former bottomland lake and marsh was leveed and drained for agricultural practice from 1910 through 1958. From 1958 to1974 approximately 90 percent of the site was strip-mined for coal. The strip-mined areas have since been reclaimed and purchased by the State of Illinois. Under the management of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (1978 - present) the primary objective for the site is to establish a freshwater marsh providing fish and wildlife habitat in the Illinois River Valley.
For fishing reports: Banner Marsh Ponds
For other lakes in the Banner Marsh SFWA:
Shovel Lake
Additional Lake Information: The East Point access area has a concrete boat ramp, 50 vehicle and trailer parking lot, restrooms and a picnic pavilion. The lake has a 25 hp motor limit. The site is open 24 hours a day, except for the Central Zone Duck Season, at which time only shoreline fishing is allowed after 1:00 p.m. Two-pole and line fishing only, except carp can be taken by bow and arrow devices, gigs or spears during May through August.
Largemouth/smallmouth bass: 3 fish daily limit, 12 – 18" protected slot length

Your website is a gateway to your customers. It is often your first impression and can be last, if not properly secured. Whether the website just disseminates company information or is used for e-commerce activities, breach of security can often result in reputation and financial losses, as well as multiple litigations.
It is therefore important to regularly evaluate website security and protect your website from malicious attacks.
It is common to outsource website hosting and maintenance to third party service providers. Many e-commerce related websites also outsource the payment mechanism to third party service providers. However, outsourcing does not ensure that your website is secure. Many website security breaches are caused by mis-configured web servers and insecure web programming. Whether these are managed in-house or outsourced, the risks and consequences to your business still remains the same.
The payment services often go through rigorous testing to secure payment data. However, this does not protect your website from other forms of attacks and vulnerabilities specific to your website.
Vulnerabilities in website design may result in many security issues such as defacement or denial of service. It may also be possible to extract your customer's information or re-direct a legitimate user to a site masquerading as your website and encouraging them to share information which you would usually not request. Such an attack may also re-direct your website users to an illegitimate payment gateway or simply re-direct payment to a different bank account.
It is important to be proactive and regularly evaluate your website security controls against such malicious attacks.
In a world where new vulnerabilities are discovered daily and number of hacking attacks is increasing exponentially, website owners must always be on guard and seek the help of security experts to conduct independent security evaluations on a regular basis.
Our WebSECURE services assist website owners to evaluate security of their website against known vulnerabilities and common attack scenarios. It includes scanning your web site for common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, Cross-site scripting and Local and remote file inclusions, source code disclosure, session security problems, URL modification, etc.
We use automated tools and manual testing to test your website for these and other vulnerabilities.
Our WebSECURE service is based on OWASP and includes the tests for the top 10 most critical web application security risks.
We don't rely only on automated tools. We also use manual testing and proof of concept exploits to filter out false positives generated by the tools. In addition, we provide guidance on how to address the security vulnerabilities identified.
WebSECURE is an efficient and cost effective way to secure your website and prevent malicious attacks.

Hundreds of fast-food workers and their supporters protested against low wages and lack of benefits such as healthcare at several McDonald's and Burger King restaurants in New York City on Thursday and Friday.
Most morning-shift workers at a McDonald's on Madison Ave. in Manhattan did not report for work, and organizers have said that over 200 fast-food workers elected to stay home citywide on Thursday. Protesters picketed at Burger King on 34th St., also in Manhattan. Another group of protesters stood outside of a McDonald's on 42nd St. near Times Sq.
On Friday, protesters shut down a Wendy's in Fulton Mall in Brooklyn after a worker was fired for striking. Fulton Mall is a predominantly working-class shopping area filled with fast-food establishments. Many passers-by joined in the protest.
Workers at McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell and similar establishments are some of the most exploited in New York City. Many positions start at $7.25 an hour and seldom see wages rise above $9.00 an hour. Few fast-food chains offer health insurance or other benefits to their workers.
Over 50,000 people work in New York's fast-food industry. Often these are the only jobs available to workers, especially youth, in a city with over 9 percent unemployment. Over one million workers—a third of the workforce—earn less than $11.75 an hour. Twenty-one percent of New York City's population meets the official poverty guidelines, and the city's homeless shelters now accommodate a record 47,000 people, including 20,000 children. That figure is expected to rise substantially in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Fast-food restaurants are part of a $200 billion-dollar industry that pays its CEOs astronomical amounts in salaries, bonuses and stock options. The 2012 compensation for David Novak, CEO of Yum! Brands, which owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, was $29.4 million, or over 4,300 times as much as the pay of an average employee. In 2011, after four months on the job, Wendy's CEO Emil Brolick earned $4.6 million. Jim Skinner, McDonald's outgoing CEO, is slated to receive about $10 million by the end of the year.
The extreme inequality and worsening living conditions for masses of people in New York have created explosive conditions in the city.
The protests this week was organized by Fast Food Forward, a coalition that includes religious organizations and liberal pressure groups such as New York Communities for Change (the successor to ACORN) and the Black Institute as well as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The stated goals of the coalition are to unionize the workers and raise workers' wages to $15 an hour.
The Fast Food Forward protest comes on top of similar actions at Walmart stores across the country on Black Friday. The Walmart protests were part of an attempt to unionize the company's low-wage workers (who make an average of $8.81 an hour) by United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).
Some of these same organizations led an effort to unionize workers at New York City car washes earlier this year.
Extreme social inequality and the rapid increase of poverty have created concern among the upper middle-class layers around the Democratic Party. The political aim behind the New York fast-food protests, similar to the Walmart protests, is to smother a social explosion before it happens with militant-sounding rhetoric on the one hand and slavish support for the Obama administration on the other.
The unions themselves play a key role in suffocating dissent. Their job is to isolate and weaken any spontaneous struggles by sections of the working class. The SEIU was one of the biggest contributors to the 2012 campaign for the re-election of Obama, whose economic policies promote low wages as a means of making the US economy more "competitive" and attracting corporations that have moved production to China, Mexico and elsewhere to reduce labor costs.
Several mayoral hopefuls, including City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, have endorsed the protests. At least five Democratic members of the City Council were also present at the protest at a Wendy's in Brooklyn on Friday. The attempt to align these protests with the Democratic Party, a principal political instrument of corporate America, precludes a genuine struggle to fundamentally change the exploitation of the most oppressed layers of the city's population.

But for us who just want butterbeer on a regular day basis (though we don't really what it tastes like), there's always Starbucks, the brand that's just around the corner. And they have their own version of butterbeer.
The popular wizarding beverage was described as "a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch" with some alcoholic content that's enough to make house elves drunk and keep Dumbledore's palette refreshing. It's supposed to be smooth when it goes down your throat. So, does Starbucks' version of butterbeer get it right? I went to the nearest Starbucks to check it out.
At the counter, I was hesitant whether to tell them it's butterbeer I want to order. But since the baristas are probably accustomed to screaming Harry Potter fans, I simply told them, "I'd like to get a tall Hot butterbeer please." Yes, I was that bold and thankfully they understood, asking me if I wanted cream-based or coffee-based, opting for the latter instead.
Boy for a drink that's supposed to cost only 2 sickles in the wizarding world, this ain't cheap especially if it's your everyday brew. Perhaps being a muggle comes at a price, eh?
First taste: it's salty. Very salty. And the first gulp going down my throat was just sticky. I feel like I was drowning in caramel. But the flavor is extremely rich I was torn between the whip cream's cool creamy texture and the strong coffee that's fighting its way between the cream. And the beverage wasn't that hot to keep it down.
Succeeding gulps? Surprisingly, it went well, as if my throat was finally adjusted to the extremely sweet drink. Although the sugar sank at the bottom and it was too sweet for me. There was a hint of alcohol tangy taste left behind which is just right.
Would I drink this everyday? Absolutely not! This is bound to make anyone pre-diabetes.
One thing's for sure, it isn't refreshing as what Dumbledore said. Quoting the New York Observer, "it's just two pumps of disappointment." After all, I don't recall butterbeer being a type of coffee drink in the Harry Potter series.
As promised earlier, here's Sherbert Cafe's recipe of homemade butterbeer inspired by the drink that is sold at Universal Studios. Perhaps it's a better alternative than dropping by Starbucks.
1. In large bowl dump 1 bottle for Cream Soda and stir in about 1/2 – 3/4 Cup of Butterscotch Topping.
4. Open up your tub of Cool Whip.
9. Place the lid back on and stick it in the fridge to await your frozen Butterbeer.
10. To serve you will want to chop up your froze stuff from the freezer and fill your cup lightly about 3/4 the way full with the slush.
11. Then pour some cream soda from the none frozen bottle, over the the stuff until your slush is at least covered.
12. Plop a heavy spoonful of the Froth over the top. It seems to expand a little as time goes by.
Butterbeer aside, I'd rather have my own DIY affogato. Just get any black brewed coffee and toss McDonald's vanilla sundae on it. You can share 1 serving of sundae with a friend. And it's perfect for me. Top it with some brown sugar and you have the cheapest affogato to fix your everyday brew.

Q: Pandas: count unique value in each column, by looping through them? I have a very large dataframe and I want to generate unique values from each column. This is just a sample-- there are over 20 columns in total.
          CRASH_DT        CRASH_MO_NO     CRASH_DAY_NO
          1/1/2013        01              01
          1/1/2013        01              01
          1/5/2013        03              05

My desired output is like so:
<variable = "CRASH_DT">
   1/1/2013
   <count>2</count>
   1/5/2013
   <count>1</count>
</variable>
<variable = "CRASH_MO_NO">
   01
   <count>2</count>
   03
   <count>1</count>
</variable>
<variable = "CRASH_DAY_NO">
   01
   <count>2</count>
   05
   <count>1</count>
</variable>

I have been trying to use the .sum() or .unique() functions, as suggested by many other questions about this topic that I have already looked at.
None of them seem to apply to this problem, and all of them say that in order to generate unique values from every column, you should either use a groupby function, or select individual columns. I have a very large number of columns (over 20), so it doesn't really make sense to group them together just by writing out df.unique['col1','col2'...'col20']
I have tried .unique(), .value_counts(), and .count, but I can't figure out how to apply any of those to work across multiple columns, rather than a groupby function or anything that was suggested in the above links.
My question is: how can I generate a count of unique values from each of the columns in a truly massive dataframe, preferably by looping through the columns themselves? (I apologize if this is a duplicate, I have looked through a whole lot of questions on this topic and while they seem like they should work for my problem as well, I can't figure out exactly how to tweak them to get them to work for me.)
This is my code so far:
import pyodbc
import pandas.io.sql

conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=C:\\Users\\<filename>.accdb')

sql_crash = "SELECT * FROM CRASH"
df_crash = pandas.io.sql.read_sql(sql_crash, conn)
df_c_head = df_crash.head()
df_c_desc = df_c_head.describe()

for k in df_c_desc:
   df_c_unique = df_c_desc[k].unique()
   print(df_c_unique.value_counts()) #Generates the error "numpy.ndarray object has no attribute .value_counts()

A: I would loop over value_counts().items() per column:
>>> df["CRASH_DAY_NO"].value_counts()
01    2
05    1
dtype: int64
>>> df["CRASH_DAY_NO"].value_counts().items()
<zip object at 0x7fabf49f05c8>
>>> for value, count in df["CRASH_DAY_NO"].value_counts().items():
...     print(value, count)
...
01 2
05 1

So something like
def vc_xml(df):
    for col in df:
        yield '<variable = "{}">'.format(col)
        for k,v in df[col].value_counts().items():
            yield "   {}".format(k)
            yield "   <count>{}</count>".format(v)
        yield '</variable>'

with open("out.xml", "w") as fp:
    for line in vc_xml(df):
        fp.write(line + "\n")

gives me
<variable = "CRASH_DAY_NO">
   01
   <count>2</count>
   05
   <count>1</count>
</variable>
<variable = "CRASH_DT">
   1/1/2013
   <count>2</count>
   1/5/2013
   <count>1</count>
</variable>
<variable = "CRASH_MO_NO">
   01
   <count>2</count>
   03
   <count>1</count>
</variable>

A: Here is an answer inspired by the answer to this question. But I don't know if it will be scalable enough in your case.
df = pd.DataFrame({'CRASH_DAY_NO': [1, 1, 5, 2, 2],
 'CRASH_DT': ['10/2/2014 5:00:08 PM',

  297.80989999000002,

  759.43600000000004,
  102.566036],
 'SER_NO': [1, 3, 4, 5, 6]})

df = df.apply(lambda x: x.value_counts(sort=False))
df.index = df.index.astype(str)
# Transforming to XML by hand ...
def func(row):
    xml = ['<variable = "{0}">'.format(row.name)]
    for field in row.index:
        if not pd.isnull(row[field]):
            xml.append('  {0}'.format(field))
            xml.append('  <count>{0}</count>'.format(row[field]))
    xml.append('</variable>')
    return '\n'.join(xml)

print('\n'.join(df.apply(func, axis=0)))

<variable = "CRASH_DAY_NO">
  1
  <count>2.0</count>
  2
  <count>2.0</count>
  5

</variable>
<variable = "CRASH_DT">

Former president Bill Clinton will be getting his close up next year.
HBO will air a documentary about the 42nd president, who is giving his full cooperation. It will be directed by Martin Scorsese.
"President Clinton is one of the most compelling figures of our time, whose world view and perspective, combined with his uncommon intelligence, make him a singular voice on the world stage. This documentary, under Marty's gifted direction, creates a unique opportunity for the President to reflect on myriad issues that have consumed his attention and passion throughout both his Presidency and post-Presidency," said HBO Chief Executive Richard Plepler and programming President Michael Lombardo in a joint statement.
In his own statement, Scorsese called Clinton a "towering figure who remains a major voice in world issues." He added that the "greater insight" into Clinton will come via "intimate conversations," which will be shown in the film.
Clinton also shared his excitement over the project saying, "I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to do this film. I look forward to sharing my perspective on my years as President, and my work in the years since, with HBO's audience."
The network has aired such documentaries before: earlier this year 41, which focused on George H.W. Bush, aired and the year before was the film Reagan.

HomeNewsFact Check: President Trump's Election Claims
Fact Check: President Trump's Election Claims
November 14, 2020 Adam Schalberg News 0
Over the week that has passed since Election Day, President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken to Twitter to dispute the results of the election. Many of President Trump's claims have been challenged by election officials, prominent politicians of both parties, and media figures. Let's review and fact check some recent contentions:
THE CLAIM:
THE FACTS: According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, poll watchers in both Michigan and Pennsylvania have minimal qualification requirements and little actual authority. In both states, there is a limit to the number of poll watchers allowed in each precinct. Poll watchers are not required to certify results, and there has been no evidence to support the claim that the poll watchers were not allowed in close proximity to the ballots that had been cast. The Trump campaign filed suit, challenging the legality of the vote count. Per PBS, Trump's campaign admitted that its chosen observers were in fact admitted to the facility, to which Republican-appointee U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond responded, "I'm sorry, then what's your problem?" The lack of any evidence in the matter led to the dismissal of the suit without prejudice. There has been no credible evidence presented in any Pennsylvania suit filed on the matter that "hundreds of thousands of votes" were affected and no indication that each vote questioned by the president was a vote cast against him. Legal motions and suits filed in Michigan have also failed to provide material evidence of any significant fraudulent activity. A motion to halt certification of results in Wayne County, filed by the GOP was denied, per The Detroit News, with Wayne County Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny noting election officials, "offered a more accurate and persuasive explanation of activity." Additionally, the hearing noted that the maximum number of poll watchers for both Democrats and Republicans were admitted to the facility, with additional observers restricted only for COVID safety precautions.
FACT CHECK: Again, there has been no indication that poll watchers or other observers were restricted from vote-counting areas. President Trump claims that he had received 71 million legal votes, leading to his election victory. It is unclear if the president believes that over 6 million of Joe Biden's votes (and over a million of the president's own, as he was credited with over 72 million votes) were cast illegally, though it appears to be the basis of his "won the election" claim. Importantly, this figure represents the popular vote total and not the electoral college total. While the states are not required to certify their election results until the electoral college meets on December 14, multiple studies conducted by the likes of The Brennan Center have concluded that fraud is exceedingly rare. The New York Times has reached out to election officials in every state, with no evidence of fraud detected. Per Kendall Hodson, chief of staff at King County Elections, 31 states subscribe to the ERIC election security system, which detected a total of 17 cases of voter fraud over the 2016 and 2018 elections combined, totaling just .004 percent of over 100 million ballots cast. Additionally, many states exercised their right to allow for expanded voting by mail in effort to safely conduct an election during the COVID-19 pandemic. While it does appear that many of the mail-in ballots of states that also allowed for in-person voting were in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden, this is better explained by Trump's vocal attacks on mail-in ballots in the lead up to the election.
THE FACTS: The president's claim that the FDA had conspired with Democratic lawmakers to suppress a vaccine announcement until after the election is not supported by evidence. Trump's contentions of a Democratic bias within the FDA seem at odds with the leadership of the agency, as the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Stephen Hahn was nominated by President Trump on Nov. 1, 2019. His nomination was confirmed by a Republican controlled Senate and he officially took the position on Dec. 17, 2019. Additionally, the announcement of the vaccine was issued by a private sector corporation, Pfizer, which indicated promising early results in trials but clearly states that it has not yet submitted the vaccine for FDA approval. Lastly, Mr. Biden has not given any indication that he would choose to delay an effective vaccine. In fact, Biden has outlined a plan that will, "Invest $25 billion in a vaccine manufacturing and distribution plan that will guarantee it gets to every American, cost-free."

OPINION: Your Vote Matters Despite the Electoral College


We study efficiency and incentive costs of social insurance and redistribution when retirement is endogenous. We characterize Pareto optima, show the forces determining optimal retirement ages, and derive the properties of optimal retirement distortions. It is optimal for a pension system to reward later retirement independent of whether efficient retirement ages increase or decrease in productivity. When individual heterogeneity and the parameters of status-quo policies are calibrated to U.S. income taxes, Social Security, individual earnings, hours, and retirement ages, optimal pensions generate not only significant welfare gains but also aggregate output gains.


The story of Bennigan's Legendary Irish Hospitality began over 40 years ago and continues today with new chapters that reflect Bennigan's history. Casual dining is redefined with chef-driven food, innovative drinks and memorable dining experiences for every guest, every meal, every day.
Bennigan's, a high-energy neighborhood restaurant and tavern, is relentlessly focused on the people, food and experience that define it. Every member of the team "bleeds green" to go above and beyond casual dining expectations. The restaurant design is warm and inviting, putting the focus on the food, the drinks and, as always, the Irish Hospitality. Bennigan's has always been a neighborhood favorite – food and drinks, and a place to meet friends and relax for a while.
That spirit lives on in everything we do, every single day. It's the way Bennigan's was created, and it's the way our Legendary story continues.


The Danish sushi chain LETZ SUSHI is the first fully certified sushi chain in Europe that has received full MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) and ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) certification. According to the WWF (the World Wildlife Fund) these certificates are the most trusted labels ensuring sustainable fishing and breeding throughout the value chain.
"We have a goal, that everything we do in LETZ SUSHI has to work towards a more sustainable world. Reaching our joint goal with WWF about the two certifications is a huge step towards a more sustainable business", says Anders Barsøe CEO of LETZ SUSHI.
Together with WWF, LETZ SUSHI decided to make the sushi business more sustainable. The goal was to receive MSC and ASC certifications before 2020. And now this goal has now been reached two years in advance.
"Over-fishing threatens the world's fish and shellfish life. And sushi can in some cases contribute to the problem. This is why it makes great sense for WWF to work towards a more sustainable use of the sea's resources with sustainably responsible companies. We're very satisfied that LETZ SUSHI has reached our joint goals. It's completely essential, that all actors in the food industry sets these ambitious goals. Together, we can make a change", says Bo Øksnebjerg, general secretary of WWF.
In the long term, LETZ SUSHI wants to inspire other sushi restaurants to become more aware of their social and environmental responsibility. "We would be generating more profit on conventional fish on the short term, because it's cheaper. But we don't believe in short-term solutions. As an agent on a market influenced by over-fishing, pirate fishing and unsustainable production of salmon, we have a great responsibility", says Anders Barsøe.
Independent certification groups from MSC and ASC will be checking up on the fish LETZ SUSHI buys for its sushi. Traceability here is key. MSC specializes in certifying sustainable fishery, ASC certifies sustainable fish farming. Thus, LETZ SUSHI can ensure sustainable fish – from pier to plate.


Bite-size strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and decorated with white chocolate "laces" to look like footballs.
Learn how to melt and cook with chocolate in our Ultimate Guide To Chocolate.
1. In a small bowl melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler.
2. Grab the strawberries by the leaves or with a kabob stick and dip into chocolate swirling to coat. Hold it to drip off excess into the bowl before placing on a piece of parchment paper. Complete all strawberries and allow to dry for 15 minutes.
3. Melt white chocolate and pour into a small ziplock bag. Allow to cool slightly so it is a little thicker. Carefully snip a small corner tip of the bag with scissors. Pipe a line down the middle of the strawberry. Pipe small lines across the middle to make a lace looking handle of the football. Allow to set in fridge until ready to serve.

2020 GSK IMPACT Awards: Shantona Women's and Family Centre
Part of GSK IMPACT Awards
Posted:Monday 30 November 2020
Shantona works across a diverse range of communities in Leeds supporting women to be more independent. It works with those who have experienced domestic abuse, forced marriage, childhood sexual exploitation or harmful cultural practices, helping them to escape abusive situations. It trains healthcare professionals to identify and help people who may be at risk, running sessions to encourage healthy relationships and behaviours.
'Shantona provides safe spaces for people who desperately need them, helping women who, despite the taboo, escape abusive situations and access health and welfare services. We were impressed by its ability to engage with communities that are often ignored, working across cultural boundaries and serving a diverse community. It is a lifeline for many women and children living in some of the most disadvantaged areas, reaching out to people who might otherwise suffer in silence.'

What SAP Netweaver Gateway is NOT …. !
I believe that there is a lot of talk online where people are asking the question … Why should I use Netweaver Gateway if I have Netweaver Process Integration (PI) or vice versa. I was recently on a SAP mobility call which included a great slide entitled "What SAP Netweaver Gateway is and is not!". I thought I would share this with everyone and a couple other posts and links I have come across on the web, which hopefully people wanting to learn more about what Gateway has to offer, will find useful.

Not relying on gimmicks or fashions, Everlones sound is electronic music in its purest sense. Samples rise and pulse to distorted beats, as haunting fractured vocals carry you. Atmosphere is key in these tracks, and nothing in the sound takes you away from the song, which rises as ethereal as it is beautiful. This is music for the senses.

Reports: NBC to Drop Affiliation from Sunbeam's WHDH, Launch O&O in Boston
NBC will move its programming to WNEU, currently its Telemundo O&O, when contract ends
Jonathan Kuperberg
The long-contentious marriage between NBCUniversal and WHDH, the NBC affiliate in Boston, appears to be ending.
NBC will not renew its affiliation at the end of the current contract, Dec. 31, 2016, according to reports in the Boston market, and instead move all programming, including Today, Dateline, Sunday Night Football (with its handful of Patriots games), late night and primetime series, to a new station called NBC Boston and air on WNEU, currently its Telemundo owned-and-operated station in Boston. Telemundo programming will then drop to a digital channel. Well equipped to have an O&O in the prized DMA No. 8, NBC also owns and operates New England Cable News (NECN), a regional 24-hour cable news network located just outside Boston in Newton, Mass.
Two sources with insider knowledge of the Boston dealings confirmed the development, on background, to B&C.
NBC declined to comment. Sunbeam had not responded at press time.
WHDH's chief meteorologist Pete Bouchard recently resigned and speculation is he will move to NBC. Maria Stephanos, the market's top anchor, left Fox affiliate WFXT in September, and the speculation is the same for her.
WHDH is No. 2 to Hearst-owned ABC affiliate WCVB in most ratings.
Sunbeam could enter WHDH into the upcoming spectrum auction. The opening bid price for WHDH is $454 million; its sister station CW affiliate WLVI is at $452 million. It's possible Sunbeam could enter the latter and make WHDH the CW affiliate. For comparison, WNEU's opening price is $303 million. While Sunbeam's WHDH has a better broadcast signal than WNEU—WNEU's transmitter is in Goffstown, N.H., WHDH's is in nearby Newton—most viewers have cable anyway, and NBC is owned by cable provider Comcast.

There had long been speculation about a change for NBC in market, especially with the affiliation deal ending at the close of 2016. WHDH, the market leader in revenue, according to BIA/Kelsey, ran into trouble with NBC recently in 2009, when Ed Ansin, the billionaire cofounder of Sunbeam, said WHDH would not run the new primetime Jay Leno Show and air news instead. After a strong statement and threat to pull its affiliation from NBC's network president and a meeting between Ansin and NBC, Ansin acquiesced. Going back even further, NBC pulled its affiliation from Sunbeam's flagship station, WSVN in Miami, in 1989; the station in turn struck an affiliation deal with a nascent Fox.

Online auctions provide an exciting marketplace for everything from the latest fashions to obscure collectibles. They offer users the chance to find items that may not be readily available in local shops or storefronts. These auctions also allow customers to find deals that are more finely tuned to their budget.
There are several websites that offer online auction services. The most popular online auction website is eBay. eBay has set the standard for online auction houses to follow. Most sites are set up in a similar fashion. OnlineAuction.com or OLA is another user-friendly online auction house. UBid.com is a website that offers many easy to use shortcuts such as jumps to auctions closing soon, popular products, and dollar start auctions. You can find penny auctions at sites such as QuiBids.com and Beezid.
There are just a few tips to keep in mind for an enjoyable and safe online auction experience.
Read auction descriptions and look at any pictures provided, so you know exactly what you're bidding on. In addition to reading the product description carefully, make sure you read through any terms and conditions provided by the seller to find out which methods of payment are accepted, how and when items are shipped and other important details. Saying that you didn't read the seller's terms won't help you if you find a requirement disagreeable after you've won the auction.
Pay attention to when the auction ends, especially if you want a chance to get in a last-minute bid.
If you have any questions about a product after reading the description, contact the seller. This will prevent disappointment and may keep you from buying something you don't really want.
When you're figuring out how much you want to bid on an item, don't forget to include any shipping and handling fees when calculating your final price. When it comes to shipping, you need to read the fine print and never assume anything.
Shipping and handling fees can vary widely. Items that require bubble wrap, a sturdy box and insurance will often require higher shipping charges than items that can be easily shipped in a lined envelope. If these fees do not appear to be in line with the product, you may want to consider looking for another seller. There are sellers who attempt to make additional profit from "handling fees" at the expense of the customer.
Some of the worst offenders purposely start auctions at a low price to draw in page views, but they tack on exorbitant shipping and handling fees. You may think you've found a hidden treasure when you come across a DVD selling for a penny, but then you realize shipping and handling on the item is as much or more than the in-store cost of the item. On eBay, this is considered "fee avoidance" since sellers pay fees based on the selling price of an item, not the shipping and handling costs, and it is against the site policies. There are so many auctions on eBay, though, that these types of auctions slip through the system all the time.
If you win an auction, communicate with the seller and pay promptly. An auction bid is a binding contract. Not only is a non-paying bidder an annoyance for sellers, but if you don't follow through on your commitment, you run the risk of being banned from the auction site entirely.
Online auctions sometimes bring out the seedier element, looking to make a quick buck on illegal products. When you think of "counterfeits" you may think of antiques and other high-priced items, but auction sellers are more likely to try to pass off fake designer clothing and bootleg CDs and DVDs. If a Prada bag is selling for $49.99, it's probably not the real thing. If a "box set" of your favorite television series comes on a suspiciously small number of DVDs, it's most likely a bootleg. If you're undecided, look carefully at the seller's feedback to see if any buyers have mentioned potentially counterfeit products.
Your best defense against buying an illegal item is to be an informed consumer, whether you're buying Bakelite or Barbie dolls. Know your products, and be cautious of "too good to be true" deals.
Don't get so caught up in bidding that you pay more for an item than it's currently selling for at online retailers or brick-and-mortar stores. Sure, it's being shipped straight to your door, but is that convenience worth paying $20 more than you'd pay for a toy on clearance at Target? Check out price comparison sites like Shopping.com to get an idea of the current selling price of anything you may want to buy.
Again, don't forget to include the cost of shipping and handling in the final price of an item. It doesn't do you any good to save $3 on a skirt only to pay $5 more in shipping costs.
Don't get discouraged by the potential pitfalls of auctions. Be a smart shopper, and you can have fun exploring the world of online auctions.

5 1% Ricky Gervais: Live IV - Science (2010) - Feb 23, 2011
"Just call this one "Mock the Weak". A mean spirited tirade attacking the poor, the old, the ill without an ounce of charm or indeed humour. Tired old hateful material the likes of Jim Davidson would be ashamed to trot out mixed with fat jokes a child would find boring. The theme of the show is supposed to be science but it makes up less than a quarter of the show while the rest is basicly the thinner, richer, living in america Ricky bitterly hating the poor fat british guy he used to be."

"Does great work with a low budget and handily trounces many hollywood giants. Treads the line between fantasy and sci-fi and literally fuses the two into something greater. Absolutely deserves to become a cult classic."
85 90% Grabbers (2012) - Sep 24, 2012
"Fun story where the only way to survive...is to drink. Hilarious script, likeable characters that are more intelligent when drunk to the nth degree than your average horror movie character, beautiful location shots and entertaining lovecraftian deep sea style monster designs. Not a massive amount of horror or gore but it's a really fun watch especially with friends, great for those who like stuff like Shaun of the Dead."
90 95% Alien vs. Ninja (2010) - Feb 22, 2011
"A completely silly and extremely entertaining film, don't expect much story or seriousness going in and just enjoy the videogame style action and humour."
85 90% End of the Line (2006) - Jan 14, 2011
"A rarity in the horror genre, a relatively capable and intelligent cast of characters, with performances ranging from functional to excellent. A well paced plot keeps you guessing not just what's real and what's all in their heads but also where loyalties lie. There are a few cheap scares and a couple of mildly shocking scenes that'll keep you entertained, along with the surprisingly interesting plot and intense atmosphere this film checks all the boxes."
70 66% Devil's Playground (2010) - Dec 03, 2010
"An above par zombie film that has a few clever ideas like using free runners as zombies but overdoes it with these otherwise excelelnt additions with a few pointless "Look what I can do" shots that really take you out of any atmosphere."
95 98% Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) - Aug 14, 2011
"Great premise, great characters, great actors, utterly hilarious spin on a typical horror film that plays its hand perfectly. Genuinely funny with some subtle humour and some over the top bits too. It's got a very witty script and I honestly laughed at a shopping list being read in the background at one point."
95 98% The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) - Jan 26, 2011
"It lays it on a little thick at times but the story and performances are all rock solid. This powerful and occasionally painful epic portrays the history of brutal oppression and inside fighting better than any other attempt I've seen."
20 13% I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) - Dec 03, 2010
"This film is like a practical joke that only the person pulling it off finds funny, to everyone else it's annoying if not painful. Most of the characters are unlikeable and the couple that ARE likeable, are treated like crap by the others, making it more annoying."

Chereponi Chairman Attacked by NPP Supporters Over DCE Nomination (Video)
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman for the Chereponi district has been brutally assaulted by party youth following the release of President Nana Akufo-Addo's list for the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executive (MMDCEs) Sunday.
A video circulating on social media shows the chairman being mobbed by the marauding party youth and subjected to severe beatings while some policemen make efforts to save him from the wild attacks with warning shots.
In a report filed by Kasapafmonline sighted by GhArticles.com, reports say the party office has been set ablaze amidst the tension.
Earlier on, police in a statement announced an intel regarding a demonstration set to be embarked upon by some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who were aggrieved that their favourite candidate, S.K. Orlando, was not recommended for nomination.
"The Chereponi District Police Command upon receipt of the information quickly invited the Chereponi constituency chairman, Aliu Suleman and some of the youth leaders and after discussing, the chairman and the youth leaders realized the need to keep the peace and abide by the advice of the police not proceed with the demonstration. They also promised to go by the Police Order Act and notify the police accordingly, should they intend to organize the demonstration."
The police had also engaged S.K Orlando who was urged to calm his supporters down.
But the youth are unwilling to back down as tension escalates at Chereponi over the DCE nomination.

Mahama Pays Glowing Tribute To Ama Benyiwa Doe
Ghana's Debt Levels Topping 80% of GDP; Unsustainable – Mahama Laments
The ruling government New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said John Mahama's promise to Ghanaian to scrap the E-levy if NDC win power in 2024 is a just a political talk.
According to NPP, the e-levy which started on Sunday, May 1 cannot be abolished by the NDC party.
"Just like the one-time premium and the repeal of talk tax that John Mahama and his NDC promised, but failed to implement when they were in power, this promise is just a political talk."
"In any event, can John Mahama explain the difference between his 17.5% tax on financial transactions and his manifesto pledge to impose a uniform tax on all electronic transactions? Are these measures E-Levy in disguise and does he stand by them?" Communications Director of the NPP Yaw Buaben Asamoa wondered at a press conference in Accra Wednesday.
He stressed: "If we reflect deeply, we will accept, as the records show, that significant change to our political institutions and conduct, economic structure and management and positive social impact, has mostly happened under the NPP's watch.
"Many very significant national reverses occurred under the six years of John Mahama's Presidency. He has since been rejected twice in elections. It's possible his recent address is motivated by self-preservation towards his continued leadership of the NDC into 2024, given that both insiders and external observers are writing him off".
He added: "Under John Mahamas' leadership, Ghana will slip backwards into chaotic incompetence. Just like his autobiography tells all, he cannot take decisions. As he says in his book, he will ride this country like a bicycle, out of control and dangerously downhill, merely hopeful of survival.
"The 2024 presidential election is expected to be about two choices: whether we choose to build on the significant gains so far made under President Akufo-Addo with a new presidential candidate from the NPP who comes with his or her own fresh ideas as well or to choose the candidate the NDC are threatening to bring back, John Dramani Mahama."
The Supreme Court has thrown out the injunction application filed against the e-levy.
The apex court also directed the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to keep all records of deductions following the implementation of the electronic transaction levy.
In a unanimous ruling, Presiding Judge Nene Amegatcher reading the judgment noted that the nature of the relief sought by the minority is null and void.
Three Members of Parliament; Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu; Mahama Ayariga(Bawku Central) and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa(North Tongu) are seeking the Supreme Court to restrain the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) from implementing the E-Levy until the final determination of an earlier substantive suit challenging the constitutionality of the bill by Parliament.
Lead counsel for minority, Godwin Edudzi Tamaklo argued that greater parties will suffer, adding he 5u4 e-levy did not seek the interest of the public.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame opposed the injunction by the three minority members.
President Akufo-Addo has reiterated the commitment of government to ensure transparency and judicious use of revenue mobilized through the implementation of the e-levy Act to engender confidence among tax payers.
According to the President "government agenda to introduce the electronic levy bill, is now electronic transfer levy Act 2022 "Act 1075″ is a strategic decision to boost our revenue mobilization drive in order to grow our economy by ourselves to improve social, economic and infrastructural development in the republic of Ghana. The controversies which emanated from the inception of the electronic levy bill was a healthy one for our democracy as a nation".
President Akufo-Addo therefore assured that "the government is committed to ensure the Judicious administration and implementation and the same time reporting of all revenues collected under the newly introduced electronic levy Act to impose a confidence in the government".
This was contained in a speech read on behalf of the President by the Eastern Regional Minister Seth Kwame Acheampong during the 60th anniversary celebration of Rev. Friederich Monninger Memorial Presbyterian Church in Akosombo under the theme "Jesus Christ the light of the world" ,
He assured the congregants that, "government remains resolute and alive to to serve all well-meaning Ghanaians despite the global economic challenges. we are focused to sustain and grow the economy to make it an enviable one hence the need to continue to invest in the future the benefit for the generations unborn"
President Akufo-Addo said the Free Senior High , Vocational and Technical Education policy are the special purpose vehicles to churn out the needed human capital for accelerated development.
"I am very optimistic the legacy to ensure every school going child of this country attains a minimum of secondary education has overly been achieved the data is available to show. The free senior high school and the free technical vocational and education training are the best vehicles we have devised to take us to the realization of our goal of an educated and skilled work force" he explained.
He added that "considering our current dispensation of technological advancement , every school going child will continue to be given the requisite education to be equip to run a modern and digitalize economy , and also the pursue to achieve Ghana beyond aid is very promising especially when government is poised to become self reliant to win itself from over reliance of foreign taste".

A baía do Refugo onde se integra a Zona Balnear do Refugo é uma baía portuguesa localizada na costa sul da ilha Terceira, na freguesia de Porto Judeu, município de Angra do Heroísmo, ilha Terceira, Açores.

Trata-se de uma zona balnear costeira cuja formação geológica teve origem na erupção do vulcão do Algar do Carvão, dado as lavas deste vulcão terem escorrido até ao mar atingindo a costa desde a localidade da Serretinha, freguesia da Feteira até ao Porto Judeu formando toda uma zona de terra queimada caracterizada pelas suas pedras de basalto negro de grandes dimensões misturadas com grandes quantidades de escorias.

Ao chegar ao mar esta corrente de lava deu origem a algumas baías destacando-se entre elas a Baía do Refugo que se antigamente foi varadouro piscatório, actualmente é uma zona balnear com piscina natural e dotada de área para jogos.

No dia 28 de agosto de 1893 um furacão, a maior tempestade de que há memória nos Açores provocou grande enchente de mar e em conjunto com fortes ventos arruinou casas, igrejas e palheiros. Também os portos foram severamente atingidos com perda de embarcações. Os danos deste furacão ainda são visíveis nalguns pontos da costa, nomeadamente na antiga, e hoje abandonada, Igreja Velha de São Mateus da Calheta, e nas ruínas da Baía do Refugo.

A baía do Refugo é classificada pelo Governo Regional dos Açores como zona balnear do tipo 1, enquadrando-se nas zonas equipadas com uso intensivo, adjacentes ou não a aglomerados urbanos que detêm um nível elevado de infra-estruturas, apoios e ou equipamentos destinados a assegurar os serviços de utilização pública; segundo o Decreto Regulamentar Regional n.º 1/2005/A de 15 de fevereiro de 2005.
