Q: Printing to stdout and XML file using Python unittest-xml-reporting I am using an extension of python's unittest, unittest-xml-reporting. It currently captures stdout and stores it in the xml output file. Awesome! But, I also want to echo it to the screen so I don't have to view that file every time I run my test suite. The two main functions involved are:
def _patch_standard_output(self):
    """Replace the stdout and stderr streams with string-based streams
    in order to capture the tests' output.
    """
    (self.old_stdout, self.old_stderr) = (sys.stdout, sys.stderr)
    (sys.stdout, sys.stderr) = (self.stdout, self.stderr) = \
        (StringIO(), StringIO())

def _restore_standard_output(self):
    "Restore the stdout and stderr streams."
    (sys.stdout, sys.stderr) = (self.old_stdout, self.old_stderr)

I tried removing the
(sys.stdout, sys.stderr) = (self.stdout, self.stderr) = (StringIO(), StringIO())

and replace it with
(self.stdout, self.stderr) = (StringIO(), StringIO())

but then it did not add it to the xml file. Any help is appreciated. I'll be glad to submit a pull request when I get it working too!

A: The current version does this http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest-xml-reporting/.
I tried it with the sample code here and the test output goes to xml and the stdout both https://github.com/danielfm/unittest-xml-reporting
Moreover the corresponding code apparently updated now :-
class _DelegateIO(object):
    """This class defines an object that captures whatever is written to
    a stream or file.
    """

    def __init__(self, delegate):
        self._captured = StringIO()
        self.delegate = delegate

    def write(self, text):
        self._captured.write(text)
        self.delegate.write(text)

def _patch_standard_output(self):
        """Replaces stdout and stderr streams with string-based streams
        in order to capture the tests' output.
        """
        sys.stdout = _DelegateIO(sys.stdout)
        sys.stderr = _DelegateIO(sys.stderr)

Kindle and Audible Book Recommendations
From Sumayyah Uddin - Word Genius Editorial Intern
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
This was one of the most beautiful coming-of-age stories that I've ever read. The story follows Aristotle, a Mexican-American teenager who grapples with the different facets of his identity, along with his complex feelings for his close friend Dante, in the late 1980s. While this book is labeled as a YA, it arguably has a lot for adults to enjoy as well — especially the beautiful, poetic language that fully immerses and invests the reader in the story.
A Man Called Ove: A Novel by Fredrik Backman
For fans of curmudgeonly characters whose hearts slowly melt in the face of a ragtag band of misfits, this book is absolutely a must-read. Ove is a grumpy, lonely man who lives alone following a series of misfortunes; however, the introduction of a few new neighbors begins to change his perspective for the better. While sad in some places, this book takes the reader through a rollercoaster of laughter, tears, and warmheartedness and is one of my favorite reads of this year.
This spooky book follows Noemi, a young Mexican woman who travels to a disturbing mansion to check on her cousin, Catalina. Mexican Gothic follows the traditional Gothic formula of a haunting mansion, a strangely cold family, and a brooding young maiden — and then turns everything on its head with a truly horrifying twist. Although not a perfect book, I could hardly put this one down, and once it hits the climax the reader is trapped on an absolutely thrilling ride to the conclusion.
From Justin Ravitz, Editorial Director
Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout
Somehow, I completely missed the Elizabeth Strout train: This author won the Pulitzer in 2008? HBO adapted that prizewinning book, Olive Kitteridge, into an award-winning show (that sounded familiar, but I didn't watch)? Well, cut to the pandemic, and I've read three Strout books this year on my Kindle...concluding with Olive, Again, a sequel to the novel of interconnected, startlingly beautiful stories surrounding a community in Maine, with a heavy emphasis on the weird stoic, no-time-for-pleasantries heroine. In Olive, Again, we find Olive in the midst of an unexpected late-in-life rebirth. Did I cry reading Strout's description of the light in February as Olive forges the least likely of friendships? Yup.
From Josiah Madigan, Consultant
Red Plenty by Francis Spufford
These days, our ability to buy basically anything is limited only by our bank accounts, so I find it faintly dizzying to consider that for most of human history most people couldn't buy anything except the most basic staples (if they were lucky). This novel traces the history of the Soviet Union's "planned economy", which I don't think you could have paid me to be interested in before I encountered this book, yet it managed to both keep me wildly entertained and reconsider how and why I spend money every time I buy the stuff I buy.
From Jennifer Freeman, Word Genius Editor
Untamed by Glennon Doyle
It's a weird time in the world. It's a weird time to be a woman. It's a weird time to go through a life transition. All of these perspectives are addressed in the memoir by Glennon Doyle, Untamed. The striking cover art might draw you in, but I highly recommend the Audible version. I wasn't a huge consumer of audio books until I started listening to memoirs read by their authors, and now that's the only way I'll read them. Hearing her story, in her voice, lends an authenticity to the reading experience and makes me feel like I'm having a heart-to-heart with a dear friend.

Things have been quiet here so I'll mention that we had the best oysters of the season at Superior Seafood, and at Happy Hour prices of 50 cents apiece. They were very cold, tasty, but a little bit "dirty" from not so perfect shucking. Very good means you avoid the interfering sauce and crackers.
Next up the list were the ones at Grand Isle and then Station 6, both places much more expensive.

Q: JTextfield edit in insert mode - swing I have a jtextfield in my app that every time you edit it
i.e. put the mouse in the center of the text and write -
it replaces the letters instead of inserting them.
Is there a way to change this behaviour to insert mode?
Thank you

A: Without seeing your code I can only guess that somewhere you have
textField.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER)
which will put the mouse in the center and that maybe you're calling
textField.replaceSelection() when the field gain focus or every time the text is changed.

The Mirror window lets you automatically copy all new or changed files from a local Macintosh folder to a remote folder on a server. For example, if you keep all the files that make up a website in a folder on your Macintosh, mirroring can quickly upload only the files that are new or have changed since your last update, instead of using the Put command to upload the entire site again.
Choose Remote > Mirror .
Make sure the Local tab is selected in the left-hand pane of the Mirror window.
Click the Choose button in the left-hand pane.
Select a local folder from the "Choose a folder" prompt.
In the right-hand Remote pane, click the Choose button.
A dialog similar to the New Connection dialog appears. Either enter the information for the remote folder, or choose one of your shortcuts or a recent connection from the pop-up menus.
Select the top arrow button (pointing from left to right) between the two panes to indicate the direction of mirroring.
Click Mirror to open the connection and start mirroring.
Note that the first time you mirror a local folder to a remote folder, Fetch will most likely upload all your files, because it needs to start by synchronizing all the files. But the next and all subsequent times you use the Mirror window for the same folders, only new or changed files will get uploaded.
With the information from above still entered in the Mirror window, click the Save button.
Choose a location and name for the mirror document.
Check the Mirror automatically when opened box to tell Fetch to automatically start mirroring when when you open the mirror document. Otherwise, Fetch will open the Mirror window with the settings saved in the document, and you will have to click the Mirror button to start mirroring.
From now on, you can just open the mirror document instead of selecting the local and remote folders each time.
You can also mirror a remote folder to a local folder (choose the bottom arrow button instead of the top), or mirror two remote folders (click the Remote tab in the left-hand pane, and choose two remote folders).
For more information about mirroring and the Mirror window, see the introductory or in-depth Mirror window help topics.


Hey, guys! I'm a little behind on posting this news but, seeing as it's the eighth anniversary of the release of The Orange Box (and Episode Two by extension), I think it's still fairly topical to share.
First reported by Steam Database, it seems that Valve has released four text files meant as help files for Source 2's version of the Hammer level editor, and two are clearly related to the mythical Half-Life 3, namely hl3.txt and ai_basenpc.txt.
There is nothing particularly revolutionary about these files, as they just illustrate entities to help mappers, but there are two particular points worth noting. One, perhaps not as major but still interesting, is that the hl3.txt file includes a lot of mentions of content directly ported over from Half-Life 2. The other is that there are a sizable number of mentions of entities that seem to be related to a quest system for Half-Life 3, as well as some sort of zipline prop, and also a new enemy called the "Combine Pulse Ceiling Turret". All of a sudden, those rumors in 2012 of an open-world HL3 seem to be not as far off as initially assumed.
If you'd like to see the file in its entirety, go ahead. For the most part, it can be assumed that this was an unintentional leak, but considering the relevance of the date as previously mentioned, it makes me wonder. Perhaps this is Valve's subtle way of giving hope to fans.


Then I run the central administration site and it was working fine. But when I tried to run default site (at port 80), it was breaking. So I tried to find out the issue and finally found that it's an timeout issue. The problem is that the user profiling WCF service was timed out. To fix this I increased the timeout value in the file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\Profile\client.config". The modification was in the following lines.
After changing the timeout value I had run the configuration wizard again and found the issue resolved.
Most of the Mock framework doesn't support static method mocking. So most of the time you need to modify your code to make the code testable. I'm going to use Moq mocking framework to show mocking.
In the above code, the static method call (MyHelper.GetHelp())need to be mocked. The problem is that MyHelper can't be passed from outside and second problem is that Moq framework doesn't have option to mock static method.
Now let's modify the code so that we can separate the static method invocation from our methods that we want to test. Let's modify the MyManager class to make it testable.
In the following code snippet I have separated extracted a method in MyManager which will return the help. The extract method GetHelp method needs to be virtual and protected as this will be overridden by stub class.
Now you can override the GetHelp method in the stub class as shown below. So your stub class is not using static method rather it's doing something fake.
The approach I have described in this post is a one of the approach taken from this link.
Nowadays as a .NET developer, we have a set of DI/IoC containers to choose from. We have option for Spring.NET, Unity Application Block, Castle Windsor etc. Whenever you use any of them in your project, the project is tightly coupled with that container. So if you start your project with Spring.Net Container then your project will be tightly coupled with the Spring.Net container. But later if your decide to use Unity Application Block then can you imagine how much hassles are waiting for you? You need to remove all reference of Spring.Net container from your code. Another example might be, you are developing a library that will be used by other users. Now if you use a IoC Container (say Spring.Net) then you are forcing users to use Spring.Net whenever they want to use the library. So if it would be possible to loose the coupling between your code and the IoC container then you can easily remove dependencies on IoC container.The Common Service Locator project at codeplex is aimed to attain the goal.
The Start with an Interface IServiceLocator which has few methods which is generic to any IoC container.The IServiceLocator inherits from IServiceProvider.
The Common service Locator will implement the interface IServiceLocator. The Common Service Locator framework has provided an abstract implementation of IServiceLocator called ServiceLocatorImplBase. The ServiceLocatorImplBase has two abstract methods which actually depends on IoC Container.
DoGetAllInstances: get all instance of a particular type from Container.
For getting instance from container, ServiceLocatorImplBase uses above two methods. And those two methods are implemented by derived class. And Container is actually needed by those two methods. So Container is specific to individual implementation.
I have developed two service Locators for Unity and Spring.Net. UnityServiceLocator can use Unity container whereas Spring.Net can uses Object Factory. The following class diagram shows two implementations that I have developed in the project attached with this post.
So I have developed two service locators till now. Now I need to develop two bootstrappers for Spring.Net and Unity as type registration are different for two.
The common bootstrapper has a instance of IServiceLocator which means it can hold reference to any class's instance inheriting from ServiceLocatorImplBase (as ServiceLocatorImplBase implements IServiceLocator). So we can put the UnityServiceLocator or SpringServiceLocator in the CommonBootStrapper's Locator variable. Now we need to two different bootstrappers for Unity and Spring.Net. The Unity implementation is shown below.
As shown in code above, The UnityBootStrapper needs to override the CreateServiceLocator and in this method I have created an UnityContainer and packed it within UnityServiceLocator. For Spring.Net you can create an SpringServiceLocator with ObjectFactory packed in it.
I have just gone through some basic ideas on how you can use Common Service Locator to decouple dependency to IoC Container from your production code. You can get more details on this visiting CodePlex link. For making my implementation I have included the Source Code from Common Service Locator in my Visual Studio Solution.
In my last post I had did some paperwork describing what is TDD, how you can introduce TDD in your team what challenges you may face etc. In this second part I'll show you how you can develop a C# math library with TDD approach. In non-TDD approach you add a class (say BasicCalculator) and in that class you implement few functions to meet your requirements (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide).
1. Create a new project (say Math.Library) in Visual Studio. You doesn't create a test project at this approach.
2. Add a new class BasicCalculator in the project.
4. Now you debug and test to check if the add method works perfectly.
1. Create a new project (say Math.Library) in Visual Studio. This is any other project expect test project.
2. Create a new test project (say Math.Library.Test) in Visual Studio. You can use NUnit or VS unit test framework to create the project.
3. Now add a test class in the test project and name it BasicCalculatorTest.
4. Add a test method in BasicCalculatorTest class and name this method TestAddition.
5. Write test code in this TestAddition method to verify the add functionality of our basic calculator.
6. Create any production classes and methods to compile the VS solution.
7. Run the test and it'll definitely fail as no production code is implemented yet.
The video included here will guide you how to start with TDD using Visual Studio and C#. The video show how to develop a math library in TDD approach. In TDD you first write test then write fewer code just to make the test run. Once the test will run the test will fail as you have not written any production code (code that will finally shipped to the production) yet. So then you'll refactor the code to pass the tests. FYI, here I have used refactor in more general term though it's not refactor. But this video is just to give you a starting with TDD.

Developer Spotlight: Creating Photorealistic CGI Environments
By Brad Nemire
Discuss (0)
Tags: Computational Photography, Computer Graphics & Visualization, CUDA, Developer Spotlight, Game Development, Media & Entertainment, News, Quadro
Get to know Rense de Boer, a technical art director from Sweden, who is not only pushing the envelope of photo-real CGI environments, but he's doing it all in a real-time engine!
Over the last few years de Bower has been focused on advancing real-time graphics by expanding beyond current workflows, and experimenting with cutting-edge hardware and software — he's continuously evolving his pipeline as new techniques becoming available.
The image below is not a picture or a multi-hour 3D render, it's a screenshot from Unreal Engine.
To capture real-world environments and objects, he uses a process called photogrammetry. His tool of choice is Reality Capture, not only because it produces amazing results, but because it can do so very quickly. The application automatically finds similarities between photographs making it possible to extract perspective and depth information. This allows the program to construct a 3D object from that information, and project the calibrated photographs onto it.
Though the program itself is fast compared to similar software, a big advantage is that it's CUDA accelerated — meaning it makes full use of NVIDIA GPU CUDA cores. Having a fast GPU makes a huge difference when it comes to processing the large amount of data involved, this is why he makes use of two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPUs in SLI mode.
Since the 3D objects created by the photogrammetry software range between 10 to 40 million polygons, the GPUs also provide the performance necessary for the 3D applications to handle them smoothly.
It is not always easy to capture a subject as intended. There are often plants in the way or you may not able to reach it or failed to get a good photograph. In those cases, the photogrammetry process can sometimes have issues and texture can get projected weirdly, or you can get gaps in the model. One way to deal with this is to use Allegorithmic Substance Painter — its projection tool is great to touch up textures in these problematic areas, making it possible to fix multiple channels at once with the content from other parts of the object or photographs.
The plants are done through a different workflow. After selecting live the plants that he intends to digitize, he separates the leaves from the stem and takes a top down image capture using a custom built light box. This allows him to adjust the light directions, making it possible to capture a diffuse, subsurface, opacity and different lighting directions. The normal information and height are then created using Allegorithmic Substance Designer and inputting the various light directions into the multi angle node.
Eventually, when everything has been reconstructed, it comes together in Unreal Engine 4. For this he uses a free special build found on GitHub, that includes NVIDIA VXGI — an implementation of a global illumination algorithm known as Voxel Cone Tracing. Global illumination computes all the lighting in the scene, including secondary bounced light reflecting off diffuse and specular surfaces. Adding GI to the scene greatly improves the realism of the rendered images.
Since he is developing for 4K monitors, de Boer uses massive 8K textures to ensure image quality in the real-time experience. Working at this resolution is not only more work for the artist but also taxing for the hardware and software. Creating large environments with high quality textures requires ample GPU memory pushing the limits of gaming hardware and into NVIDIA Quadro territory with 24GB of GPU memory.
While images are great, seeing these environments in motion running in real-time is truly spectacular.

Теледроид — разрабатываемый научно-производственным объединением «Андроидная техника» экспериментальный робот для проведения работ в открытом космосе, который может управляться как с Земли, так и космонавтами на борту орбитальный станции. Целевая работа «Теледроид» в первую очередь направлена на отработку технологий (в том числе искусственного интеллекта) космической робототехники, необходимой для дальнейшего освоения Луны и Марса.

Описание изделия
В роботе «Теледроид» будут использованы технологии, опробованные в роботе «Федоре», например, управление роботом с задержками команд, поступающих с Земли. Он будет выглядеть как торс человека без ног, в отличие от «Федора». Планируется, что своей нижней частью робот будет размещен либо на манипуляторе, который обеспечит его перемещение между модулями станции (МКС или РОСС), либо на базовую поверхность. Функционировать робот будет в режиме аватара, копируя движения оператора в специальном костюме (экзоскелете), находящегося на МКС или в Центре управления полетами. Копирующий режим работы будет в приоритете разработки, поскольку сделать автономные системы не представляется возможным из-за дороговизны оборудования на МКС. Некоторые типовые операции робот сможет выполнять самостоятельно. Робот «Теледроид» будет обладать лучшей моторикой, чем человек, поскольку движения робота не будут ограничены перчатками космонавта. Самая главная функция «Теледроида» — помощь космонавту в подготовке его рабочего места перед внекорабельной деятельностью (ВКД) и процедура уборки рабочего места после завершения ВКД. В результате такой подготовки время, которое космонавты будут проводить в открытом космосе, в перспективе сократится с восьми до двух-трех часов.

НПО «Андроидная техника» рассчитывает, что робот сможет проработать на орбите три-четыре года, хотя по техническому заданию должен эксплуатироваться полгода.

История разработки
 13 декабря 2016 года генеральный конструктор НПО «Андроидная техника» Алексей Богданов сообщил СМИ, что предприятие планирует создать робота «Теледроид» для работы к открытом космосе.
 В 2019 году планировалось, что Теледроид будет запущен в 2022 году к МКС и будет пристыкован на внешней поверхности Научно-энергетического модуля.
 Начало 2019 года — подписано техническое задание на создание робота «Теледроид». Предварительный облик «Теледроида» уже определён, окончательный будет ближе к декабрю.
 27 октября 2019 года исполнительный директор НПО «Андроидная техника» Евгений Дудоров ссобщил СМИ, что облик «Теледроида» будет сформирован к марту-апрелю 2020 года. До этого разработчик планирует пообщаться по итогам полета андроида «Федора» с космонавтом Александром Скворцовым. Сборка опытных образцов «Теледроида» должна начаться в 2020 году.
 15 октября 2020 года в пресс-службе НПО «Андроидная техника» сообщили СМИ, что изготовление робота «Теледроид» начнется в начале 2021 года, во второй половине 2021 года уже начнутся испытания первого образца.
 18 октября 2020 года в пресс-службе НПО "Андроидная техника"сообщили СМИ, что предприятие планирует подписать с Роскосмосом контракт на разработку «Теледроида» в конце текущего месяца. На срок согласования ТЗ повлияла пандемия COVID-19.
 27 января 2021 года пресс-служба НПО «Андроидная техника» сообщила СМИ, что предприятие приступило к изготовлению робота «Теледроид» 1 декабря 2020 года. Контракт на создание робота с Роскосмосом находится на завершающей стадии, но ещё не подписан. Первый блок работ по проекту состоит из разработки рабочей конструкторской документации и создания нескольких прототипов робота.
 27 марта 2021 года ЦНИИмаш и РКК «Энергия» начали создание первого российского человекоподобного робота «Теледроид», который выйдет в открытый космос. Непосредственно созданием робототехнической системы «Теледроид» будет заниматься НПО «Андроидная техника».
 11 мая 2021 года пресс-служба НПО «Андроидная техника» распространила сообщение, согласно которому в конце марта был подписан контракт с РКК «Энергия» на создание робототехнического комплекса нового поколения, предназначенного для выхода в открытый космос. Согласование проекта проводилось в течение восьми лет. Проект рассчитан до 2025 года. Первый этап будет завершен в конце февраля 2022 года, результатом станет изготовление опытного изделия научной аппаратуры робота проекта «Теледроид» для первой стадии испытаний. «Теледроид» может быть размещен не на МКС, а на российской служебной орбитальной станции, на внешней её поверхности. Сейчас прорабатывается облик робота-космонавта, его компоненты, протоколы стыковки с МКС.
 12 мая 2021 года исполнительный директор НПО «Андроидная техника» Евгений Дудоров сообщил СМИ, что первый полноценный образец «Теледроида» будет готов к 2023 году.
 19 мая 2021 года пресс-служба НПО «Андроидная техника» сообщила СМИ, что окончательный облик «Теледроида» будет утвержден в период с 2022 года по 2023 год, после того как будут получены и утверждены полностью все комплектующие и компоненты, которые будут входить в состав робота.

 28 октября 2021 года представитель Центра подготовки космонавтов на полях 72-го Международного астронавтического конгресса в Дубае сообщил СМИ, что «Теледроид» сможет работать как внутри, так и снаружи МКС.
 11 января 2022 года исполнительный директор НПО «Андроидная техника» Евгений Дудоров сообщил СМИ, что «Теледроид» будет изготовлен в конце 2022 года, далее ему предстоит ряд наземных испытаний в условиях, приближенных к космическим, но без учёта факторов космического полёта. При этом Дудоров отметил, что «Теледроид» — это название не самого робота, а проекта. Когда он будет готов, то, возможно, получит название FEDOR-2 в честь своего предшественника «Федора».
 21 декабря 2022 года пресс служба НПО «Андроидная техника» сообщила, что на данный момент полностью разработан робот и задающее устройство копирующего типа, с помощью которого будет производиться управление "Теледроидом".

Jaden's mother questions drug use as children 'drop like flies'
UK News | Published: Dec 11, 2019
Jada Bailey called on people to question if taking drugs was worth it after her son's death.
The mother of Britain's youngest gang victim has called on people to ask themselves if taking drugs is worth it as children are "dropping like flies".
Jaden Moodie, 14, was said to have been "groomed" by a drug gang before he was targeted by rival Mali Boys in east London.
As one of his killers, 19-year-old Ayoub Majdouline, was found guilty of his murder at the Old Bailey, Jaden's mother branded them "cowards".
In an interview with ITV News London, Jada Bailey called on people to question if taking drugs was worth it.
She said: "Everyone has freedom of choice. I'm not here to judge. Only God is the judge.
"But when you see children dropping like flies all around, that's when you have to look into yourself and say, well, is this really worth it? Is this habit worth it?
"There's lots of people to blame. It's the groomers, it's the dealers. It's all sorts. But I think when children are dying, you really have to ask this question, is it really worth it? "
On her "beautiful" son's attackers, she said: "When they were killing him they could see he was a child.
"So I've got no sympathy and no words. They were cowards. He (Majdouline) killed a child. He's a child killer."
She went on: "I just miss him so terribly. I just want him home. I really do because he had his whole life ahead of him and had so much ambition and he loved everybody, was such a fun-loving young lad that would give his shirt off his back to anyone.
"And that was his only downfall. He was such a loyal friend. All the problems or challenges that came along was all because he was a loyal friend."
When he was in school, "brazen" individuals came to the gates to groom children, but Jaden was no drug dealer or "kingpin" at the age of 14, she said.
Ms Bailey said: "You send your child to school and you think they're going to be safe.
"So a lot of the security and police that they've assigned need to be assigned to the school gate and get them groomers away from the children."

US honours Chinese activist Ding Jiaxi as a 'global human rights defender'
Home/World Business/London's law firms should take heed of new threat from US rivals
London's law firms should take heed of new threat from US rivals
Where Kirkland & Ellis goes, others eventually have to follow. That is the major lesson for law firms of recent years. Which makes Kirkland's move to cut the time it takes to become an equity partner all the more galling for London's elite practices.
Across the City, partnership tracks have lengthened. Mid-rank lawyers are stagnating below partnership level. A decade ago, it took on average eight years after qualifying to make partner at the Magic Circle's London offices (excluding the anomaly that is Slaughter and May). This year's cohort at Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Freshfields and Linklaters averaged more than 10 years of post-qualification experience.
Allowing that trend to continue will hurt the UK firms already feeling the pinch from American rivals. They have lost the transatlantic war on pay. They are leaching mid-level associates. They can ill-afford to lose a fight over the path to partnership.
Kirkland may not have the same influence on industry standards on partner track as it did with pay. The firm's structure differs from the UK establishment in a number of respects. It is quite free with the title of partner, bestowing it on the equivalent of senior associates elsewhere. It is less free with its equity. Many Kirkland partners get no share in the profits, just a better business card.
But firms should pay heed to last week's announcement all the same. Because if they fail to compete, they risk slowly becoming repositories of second-tier talent.
Clearly the main motivator for delaying partnership is monetary. Since the financial crisis, UK firms have struggled for growth and ceded share to US rivals. Yet many maintain a structure where partnership is more or less for life. That constrains how many people firms can promote while preserving the ratio of profit per equity partner. That is the key metric on which their success or failure is judged and pay determined.
The reasons why partnership takes longer are not all bad, either. Large law firms have been among the best at elevating women in recent years, data from PwC's annual law firm survey show. Women are more likely than men to take time out of their careers for parental leave. That might lead to a longer gap between qualification and joining the partnership.
But other justifications ring hollow. Some partners point to a lack of experience among mid-level lawyers. There are nuances, but overall the view is hard to square with the enduring horror stories about workloads on the front lines.
A period of frenetic dealmaking activity has stretched the industry thin. Top UK firms find themselves short of the sub-partner resources they need to run transactions and handle churn. They have held off promoting this group, pacifying them with title inflation.
That will only take firms so far. Partnership is the difference between the income of the 1 per cent and the 0.1 per cent.
In an industry where overwork and burnout are rife and retaining talented juniors is difficult, dragging out the period during which associates slog it out for partnership spots is a problem. Senior partners should not underestimate the jeopardy.
More lawyers are already ditching firms altogether. In 2020, almost a quarter of all solicitors in England and Wales worked in a company, according to research from trade body TheCityUK. A decade ago it was only 16 per cent. Life in-house is not always easy, but does tend to be easier than life in the Magic Circle.
For those willing to stick it out, the lure of partnership has been a key plank in City firms' defence against American dollars. If elite US firms in the UK capital can successfully challenge that, it could be highly damaging to the Magic Circle. Offering equity more quickly is part of it. To truly threaten, US firms will have to offer it more widely in London, too. But it would be a foolish senior partner who underestimated that possibility.
There are many more career paths in law than there were even a decade ago. Ultimately, though, for many solicitors the prize is partnership. By making that process ever longer, firms risk stretching a period of intense work beyond what talented individuals can sustain. London's Magic Circle has already lost some of its lustre. Trimming the path to partnership could increase UK firms' attractiveness once more.

Mexican gray wolf 'Mr. Goodbar' walked 23 miles to get around border wall, group says

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — An endangered Mexican gray wolf walked 23 miles over five days to get around a section of border wall in New Mexico as he tried to cross into Mexico, an animal rights group said.
The wolf, nicknamed "Mr. Goodbar," had a GPS collar that periodically beamed his locations to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as he walked nearly the distance of a marathon Nov. 23 to Nov. 27. The locations were released this week to the Center for Biological Diversity.
"Mr. Goodbar's Thanksgiving was forlorn, since he was thwarted in romancing a female and hunting together for deer and jackrabbits," said Michael Robinson, a senior conservation advocate at the Center. "But beyond one animal's frustrations, the wall separates wolves in the Southwest from those in Mexico and exacerbates inbreeding in both populations."
An endangered Mexican gray wolf failed to get through Trump's border wall for nearly a week recently. @POTUS must tear down this wall to reconnect wildlife habitat, populations and migration corridors — this is a disaster with a clear solution. https://t.co/92Gj5tNMmc
— Center for Bio Div (@CenterForBioDiv) December 15, 2021
The wolf wandered from southwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico, through the desert and canyonous terrain and walked alongside the border wall for four days, according to a map supplied by the Center.

On Nov. 28, after five days, "Mr. Goodbar" headed northwest away from the border, according to his GPS locator.
He was recently located farther north in the Gila National Forest, a mountainous rangeland east of the Arizona state line, which is popular among wolves.
"Allowing Mexican gray wolves to roam freely would do right by the sublime Chihuahuan Desert and its lush sky-island mountains," Robinson said in a news release.
"Mr. Goodbar" was born in the Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas and released in 2020 into the wild in Arizona.

Remember when Big Sean came to Penn State and killed it? I do. It was an awesome show and really opened my eyes to the performer Big Sean is. Tonight he blessed us with a new tune and it is absolute Fire (complete pun intended). His new track, "Fire," really sets new expectations for his sophomore album, which is dropping in just under a month. If you like Good Music, pun intended again, this is a banger for you. Enjoy.

A University of Arizona professor has been awarded the nation's highest award for excellence in STEM mentoring and education. Presidential awards were also presented to three Tucson K-12 teachers and a fourth from Chandler.
Sally Stevens, a distinguished outreach professor in the UA's Department of Gender and Women's Studies and a research professor at the Southwest Institute for Research on Women, has been awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring, recognizing her significant contributions to mentoring underrepresented students and supporting the future of the STEM workforce. Stevens is among just 14 other people throughout the country, and the only person in Arizona, to receive the distinguished award announced by the White House Tuesday.
President Trump also announced the recipients of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, which is the nation's highest honor for K-12 teachers in mathematics and science.
For Arizona, the awards were presented to Svea Anderson, a sixth grade science teacher from Agua Caliente Elementary School; Amee Legarra, a sixth grade math teacher from Richardson Elementary School; Nicole Whitt, a math teacher from Empire High School ; and Deborah Nipar, a science teacher from Hamilton High School in Chandler.
As a university professor for 25 years, Stevens has focused a lot of her research on providing opportunities for underrepresented communities within the STEM field. For her, the award is validation that the work she's doing is effective and valued.
"I've been thinking a lot about all the past students that I've had, from undergraduates that are involved in underrepresented groups to graduate students who are again primarily women and ethnic minority groups, who have gone on to really great jobs," Stevens said. "I was thrilled to be nominated and selected for this award, and it really felt like a reflection of all the students that I've worked with over the past 25 years."
In her research, Stevens conducts studies and looks at data in the areas of health and social justice disparities, innovations in education and workforce equity. Much of her work focuses on women and children, individuals of Mexican-origin Hispanic decent and Native Americans living in the southwestern United States.
"One of the research projects that I've worked on, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, is called i-STEM," she said. "It really focuses on 3rd through 8th grade Native American students in the Tucson community and providing a STEM educational experience for them. The goal is to engage them in STEM activities, expose them to different STEM disciplines and have them become more excited about science and also more connected to their schools and their education."
For the program, Stevens partnered with local schools to help provide a mentoring opportunity that would focus on STEM education. For eight weeks during the school year, the students were presented a variety of lessons from solar energy to and air and space to health and agriculture.
"With Native American students, we really tried to take a different approach," Stevens said. "We showed them that Native Americans are scientists and have a long history of engaging with the land and different ecosystems. So, we tried to make it relevant to them and inspire them."
Stevens hopes to continue doing work like this in the future. As a mentor to many students, from elementary to college level, Stevens said seeing them grow and become passionate about STEM is the most rewarding part of her work.
"I think that's the most exciting piece of being a professor at the university is that one-on-one or small group interaction with students where you can really guide them, not tell them what to do, but be a good listener and a good guide and help them find what they're interested in," she said. "I really try to look at myself, not as a hierarchical professor, but someone who's a mentor who can listen and guide and connect to students."
For Stevens, exposing underrepresented students and communities to STEM is crucial to the advancement of society. She hopes to continue seeing more and more women and minority groups represented within the field.
"It will have a great and positive impact on answering some of the big questions that we have in the sciences," she said. "Women and students or professionals from different backgrounds and upbringings will bring different questions to the table and think about problem solving in different ways."
Stevens and the other award recipients will spend this week in Washington, D.C. where they'll have the opportunity to attend panels, network and even contribute to the discussion for a federal STEM strategic plan. The awards dinner and ceremony will be held John F. Kennedy Center where Betsy Devos, the United States Secretary of Education, will speak. During their visit, recipients will also visit the White House.

Svea Anderson, Agua Caliente Elementary
Svea Anderson is a 6th grade science teacher at Agua Caliente Elementary School in Tucson. As an educator, Anderson feels that it's her responsibility to help students think critically about the world they live in and provide a learning environment that is engaging.
While teaching at the elementary school, Anderson also served as a PolarTREC educator in 2018 and was sent to the Artic to help with ecological research. She also recently completed an expedition with National Geographic to look at plastic in the ocean and sustainability of resources. During each of these expeditions, Anderson kept her students in mind, skyping with them and bringing back research that they could also help with in the classroom.
"It's pretty surreal, actually," Anderson said about receiving the award. "I've been working really hard for 20 years and this is the highest award through the National Science Foundation and through the government, so it's really just an incredible acknowledgement that my vision of teaching science is being honored."
Amee Legarra, Richardson Elementary
Amee Legarra is a 6th grade math teacher from Richardson Elementary School in Tucson. In her classroom, Legarra focuses on a student-centered mathematics curriculum, which she feels is much more effective when it comes to student engagement.
"I teach my students math through problem-based tasks so that they're learning the mathematics conceptually rather than just step-based," she said. "They're learning why that works instead of just how to complete it. I find that when students can just immerse themselves and use they're prior knowledge to solve mathematics problems logically, they are able to branch that out into logical thinking to any place in the world and anything that they do."
After receiving her presidential award, Legarra said she was honored to know that her approach to math was being recognized and is looking forward to being able to connect with other teachers throughout the country that are contributing to the STEM field in unique ways.
Nicole Whitt, Empire High School
Nicole Whitt is a freshman algebra teacher at Empire High School in Tucson where she also runs Student Council program. While most math teachers can probably say they've always been good with numbers, for Whitt, that wasn't always the case.
"I typically tend to really like teaching the kids who struggle a little bit with math, because growing up I always felt like that was me and I needed to work a little bit harder than a lot of my peers to master some of the content," she said. "So, I find that I connect with those kids really well because I remember being that kid."
In Whitt's classroom, she aims to meet student at their level and provide one-on-one mentorship for them whenever they need it. In each of her math classes, she has two upperclassmen who serve as peer tutors for students who need more help. She also conducts regular short assessments for each student, which do not go into a grade book, so that she can constantly monitor where a student is and who needs more help.
Whitt said she feels honored to have received the presidential award and to be among so many other dedicated teachers.

How much of a deficit?
Is anyone here roughly 220 lbs and in an office job?
Reason i ask is i have started gradually cleaning up my diet to lose some bodyfat and using myfitnesspal app on the iphone it has me at a 1990 calorie limit per day with the goal of losing a pound of fat per week.
Does this sound enough/too little?
A deficit of 3500 calories is a lb of fat.
The usual "healthy" advice for fat loss is a lb per week so defcit of 500kcals per day.
What is your diet like - typical day?
I am contemplating the full on keto diet but in the meantime i am wanting to just cut down on carbs generally and keep them to the early part of the day.
The fatter you are, the more you can lose per week. As you get leaner, you will find that fat loss slows.
I can lose 2-3 lbs a week on UD2, as it slows its around 0.5-1lb.
Also kcals arent the only thing, you can change body comp without much of a drop in overall scale weight.
I am just worried about losing the muscle i have got!!! Which aint loads!!
Long as protein is fine, you train hard, youre not going to lose anything.
Also, when you start eating again, wonderful thing called muscle memory takes hold.
My advice, just go for it.
Calories seem a little low IMO... i'm around 178lb with an office job and am eating between 2500 cals and 2800 cals a day. I'm currently losing around .7kg a week but I am doing plenty of cardio.
And to add... to get real results it takes hardwork, commitment, consistency and organisation... there is no miracle diet out there. Stick to a plan and adjust where necessary.
I also recommend to eat your maintenance cals a day and add plenty of cardio to get the deficit.


Burning Studio's Movie and Slideshow Authoring module uses a wizard interface to take you through the steps required by this type of project. First you choose your media type—DVD, Blu-ray (720p), or Blu-ray Full 1080p HD. (You can also create Video CDs and Super Video CDs.) You then choose a screen format—for TV output, either PAL or NTSC, and for computer screen widescreen or standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Then you just add content in the form of images and videos, and the program determines what quality (i.e., bitrate) to output based on the size of your content and output media. I liked that I could not only add media from my PC's hard disk, but also from my online accounts like , Facebook, and Dropbox. Unfortunately, YouTube wasn't available.
But you can do more than just add clips and images—the program lets you author movies and slideshows using themes like Action, Birth, Breaking News, and Horror—25 are included, and you can download a $14.99 Theme Pack with dozens more. I could add text and shapes to the movie, as well as music and a choice of 19 transitions. I could also trim the beginning and end of video clips, split it, or cut out a section from the middle. One problem I had, though, was that I couldn't expand the timeline view of my clips, which were jammed together. And some of my clips couldn't be included because of a lack of codec support.
In all, I was impressed with Burning Studio's digital movie skills—it even let me rotate video clips—but for real editing, even things like changing the brightness, colors, and other effects, you'll need true video editing software, such as our Editor's Choice, CyberLink PowerDirector ($99.95, 4.5 stars). After editing, I could add a menu to the movie, from 15 theme and color choices. Creating and Burning a menued DVD with 4 clips and one a single, to a 4.7GB DVD took 7:13 minutes on my 3.4GHz quad-core test machine with 4GB RAM, writing to 16X DVD-R media. A similar project in NCH Express Burn took 8:48 minutes. I will say that the menus Ashampoo created looked blotchy on playback, so again, you're probably better off with purpose-made DVD authoring software. I was pleasantly surprised that I could add menus and chapters to a Blu-ray disc project, too; the same project in Blu-ray took 5:42 to format and burn (compared with 7 minutes for NCH).
Burning Studio also lets you go the other way—ripping disc images to the PC from CDs, DVDs, and even Blu-rays. You can then create a modified copy of the disc to a new one, adding files even to a bootable disc. But I couldn't rip copy-protected discs, as you'd expect. Even further in the reverse direction, you can erase an –RW disc. I could also burn a disk image file in ISO format. I used the 3.4GB Windows 8 installer disc ISO to test this, writing to a 16x DVD, which took 4:54 minutes. This compared favorably with competitors: Nero Burning ROM 11 took 4:59, and CyberLink Power2Go took 5:10 for the same job. As with other burning operations, the program showed an estimate of time remaining and progress bars for each operation.
The disc-burning suite can create Blu-ray movies (including menus, just as with DVD movie discs above) and data discs. It can erase BD-RE media, which it did very quickly for my test movie project, taking just a few seconds. When I tried ripping a Hollywood movie Blu-ray, The Big Year, the program made me wait for 20 minutes while it read the whole disk, even though the label said it was copy protected. But when I went to burn a copy, my Blu-ray media wasn't compatible. I was surprised that copy protection allowed me to copy the disc, but maybe the fact that the require 50GB Blu-ray media costs from $10-$25 a pop had something to do with that. Clearly, though, Burning Studio would have no problem ripping non-DRMed Blu-rays.
Ashampoo throws in a bunch of extra capabilities with the software, including the ability to burn slideshow disks from Flickr ($24.95 a year, 4.5 stars), Facebook, Dropbox, or Picasa accounts. When choosing images for a slideshow disc, the file-picker dialog offers icons for the content site. You log into your account after clicking on the familiar icons. All my Facebook photos were then available, even wall photos—something not possible in Apple's Aperture.
You also get disc label-printing capability, and you can even download an image from the internet directly in the program to create a disc-case cover, booklet, CD jewel case, or disc label. If you don't have your own image, the program supplies themed label images with topics like Adventure, Bachelorette, Birthday, and so on, which you can customize with your own text.
Finally, the app can "finalize" discs, whether CD, DVD, or Blu-ray, which will make them compatible with certain disc players.
But all was not sunshine and simplicity: When trying to re-edit a group of clips in a movie, the program stopped responding. Otherwise, my extensive testing of the software went without a hitch.
Ashampoo Burning Studio is a full-service CD, DVD, and Blu-ray burning, ripping, and authoring suite. The interface is much slicker than competitors like NCH Express Burn or ImgBurn, but not quite as glossy as those of CyberLink's competing app. But Ashampoo had a big advantage over that competitor in its ability to author Blu-ray movie discs. Burning Studio performed all tasks I tested admirably, and for its superior set of tools and superior interface, it's PCMag's Editors' Choice for disc burning software.

Gail Benoit claims setup in puppy case
I have to say - just because Gail Benoit was taped selling a sick and dying puppy to a person doesn't mean the puppy she was selling wasn't sick and dying!! It doesn't mean she wasn't breaking the law. It doesn't mean that someone didn't need to stand up and stop what she was doing, don't you think? I say BRAVO to the person or persons who have brought this case to the lighth of day and I hope to DOG they didn't do anything illegal so that Gail Benoit and Dana Bailey get off once again.
In their testimony on November 3rd they both testified that they are on disability and living off the proceeds of CPP - yet they also testified that they have sold more than THIRTY THOUSAND PUPPIES in the 16 years they've been in the business of selling puppies. If you do the math of that 30,000 x a very modest $350 per puppy = $10,500,000.00(that is ten million, five hundred thousand dollars, people...) divided by 16 years = $656,250.00 per year for the last 16 years. (They are telling us that they have sold 1,875 puppies per year for the last 16 years - that's 156 puppies per months or 39 puppies a week).
And they are making that while collecting CPP benefits? What is up with that? Are they paying income tax on that? I think someone in the government should look into that - I don't have any connections, but maybe someone else might.
Anyway - here's the Chronicle Herald article from this morning -
http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1088574.html
Accused claims setup in puppy case
Couple still runs dog-selling business
DIGBY — The trial of a Digby County couple charged with selling sick and dirty puppies ended Tuesday with one of the defendants shouting "It's a setup" as she left the courthouse.
An obviously angry Gail Ruth Benoit, 39, was unable to say much more than "The truth will be known" as she walked with her husband, Dana Bailey, to their car while uttering threats and shouting disparaging remarks.
Previously seen driving their dogs around the province in a late-model minivan, the couple sped away from the Digby courthouse Tuesday in a white Pontiac Grand Am.
Before slamming her car door, Ms. Benoit said they still operate their puppy-peddling business Puppies R' Us.
Mr. Bailey jumped in at that point and said the province of Nova Scotia supports them by allowing them to maintain their business as a retail puppy-selling and delivery service.
"If they didn't want me selling dogs and if I was so cruel, they would have my licence gone," he said of the Registry of Joint Stock Companies.
Puppies R' Us was registered as a business in 2006, according to a government website.
Ms. Benoit is accused of obstructing a peace officer who was performing her duty, assaulting a peace officer and cruelty to animals. Charges were laid under both the Criminal Code and the Animal Cruelty Prevention Act.
Mr. Bailey, 46, is also charged with animal cruelty.
Judge Jean Louis Batiot will render his decision Jan. 29 in Digby provincial court.
The charges stem from the October 2007 seizure of 10 puppies from the couple's Roxville home.
RCMP officers and SPCA special constables armed with a search warrant arrived when Ms. Benoit was home alone with the animals. She was arrested, removed from her blue bungalow and placed in the back seat of a police car where she rocked back and forth wildly and screamed obscenities as the dogs were rounded up.
Mr. Bailey arrived at the Digby RCMP detachment a few minutes later, demanding that his wife be released and shouting "She's had enough."
In courtroom testimony Tuesday, Donna Nugent of Westville, Pictou County, said she contacted Ms. Benoit last fall looking for a dog. She said Ms. Benoit would not allow her to come to her home to see the pups.
"She wanted to meet me in a parking lot," Ms. Nugent said. "I knew right then there was something wrong."
Eventually she and a friend did meet Ms. Benoit in a parking lot in Elmsdale.
Defence lawyer Michael Power asked if a television news team was there too.
"Maybe," Ms. Nugent said.
Mr. Power read part of an email Ms. Nugent wrote on Oct. 27, 2007, which read in part: "She's in the process of being shut down. . . . A friend and I set Gail up."
"My friend was wired up with a mike," read part of another document Mr. Power referred to in court.
"You and your friend set Gail Benoit up," Mr. Power said.
"She was selling sick dogs," Ms. Nugent said. "They were dying."
Someone had to speak up for the dogs, she said.
Ms. Nugent said she is familiar with a Facebook site dedicated to stopping Ms. Benoit from selling dogs. Ms. Nugent told the court she even has her own Facebook site dedicated to the eradication of puppy mills.
Ms. Nugent is a lifelong dog owner and determined that the two dogs she saw that day in the Elmsdale parking lot were sick.
"There were mites in their ears. They had fleas," she told the court.
One of the pups groaned when it was picked up, she said
