A Front Row Seat for the Cultural Revolution: Stockholm Syndrome in Tientsin (part 2)
STOCKHOLM SYNDROME IN TIENTSIN
Since the taxis weren't waiting for us when we finished Steve, Herb Cole, Rosa and a nice Danish man, Peter with an unpronounceable last name, and I decided to walk a bit. Peter somehow had become assimilated into our gang of ten by the second day, having met and liked him at the carpet fair. We were no sooner out of the alley than the crowds began to appear from the dark shadows to follow us. This was nothing official, just curious citizens looking at strange people, Red haired Steve at six foot three definitely stood out. Jayne, still down with flu back at the hotel, would have made a bit of a statement as well.
We walked past shops with subtly lighted window displays. One had a tiny child's suit with panda bear appliqués and a little hat with ears. At a movie house Rosa inquired about the film playing. She was told it was the story of a great hero of the people's revolution who worked in the oil fields of China. Two darling little girls with black braids took a special interest in me. This was to be my first chance to give out some of the marigold seeds my friend David Burpee, the father of the flower seed industry in America, had given me to take to China. Although we'd been warned that the Chinese would accept absolutely no gifts, to prove the self-sufficiency achieved through their revolution, David felt flower seeds would be acceptable. I thought tomato or squash seeds to get something extra to eat would have been a better gift. But he was hung up on marigolds — even spent a great deal of money lobbying unsuccessfully in Washington D.C. to make marigolds our national flower. So I went off to China with 50 packets of marigold seeds, marigolds the flowers of friendship.
Reaching into my oversized travel bag I pulled out two packages of the seeds and tried to give them to the little girls. Suddenly one of the crowd following us spoke up in perfect English. "The children have everything they need," he said politely but firmly. And then he added, "Also they would not grow in our climate." The little girls looked so disappointed. But I got the message and 50 packets of marigold seeds were left on my hotel bed at the Hilton Hotel in Tokyo before I returned home.
Fortunately at that point attention was diverted from my marigold problem when two bikes collided nearby. The men riding them stopped and started checking damage as though they were going to file insurance claims. Peter and Herb grew tired of the crowds and returned to the restaurant. Rosa, Steve and I wandered across the street to look more closely at a building built in traditional Dutch architectural style. Rosa asked someone what it was and they said it had been built by the French. At that point we realized the crowds surrounding us had grown very large and were moving in so close we were facing potential problems. It was still a friendly smiling crowd, but we decided it was time to return quickly to the restaurant. Rosa, trying to keep things friendly, announced in Chinese that Steve should get a long-eared fur Mongolian hat like several boys in the crowd wore. A few people laughed.
Suddenly the man who had declined the seeds started pushing the crowd away from us, speaking severely in Chinese. They dispersed quickly. Heading straight for the restaurant we found our group huddled in a little room rather like the Parisian concierge quarters of days long past. Jerry informed us the police had been called to clear the street. One official ran inside and shouted into the phone to get taxis there fast. We were forced to remain crushed together in the tiny room until the taxis came tearing up. As our taxis drove off the worrisome threatening crowd that had so alarmed the head cadre lined the sidewalk across from the restaurant grinning and waving goodbye to us. Didn't the officials realize that even if we had been subversives with terrorist plans, we'd been rendered quite harmless with the ten course meal and seven to ten dumplings we'd consumed such a short time before!
Awakening to a new day in Tientsin was quite an exceptional awakening. The whistles of the steam engines passing through blended with the horse hoofs clattering in the streets. So many deliveries were made in horse-drawn carts each morning. As the first signs of dawn threw light, a bare tree in front of the factory across the street stood in silhouette like a Chinese paper cut out. A lone girl practiced her tai chi exercises each morning on that factory roof at sunrise. —to be continued

A Front Row Seat for the Cultural Revolution: The First Annual Tientsin Carpet Fair
The First Annual Tientsin Carpet Fair
The pretentious big shiny red and gold invitation Rosa's influence had secured for me that had brought me to China during the Cultural Revolution read: "China National Native Produce and Animal By-Products Branch, Peking Branch and Talien Branch cordially invite Mrs. Beverley Jackson to the Chinese Carpets Fair 1975 in Tientsin." Thirty-four years later I still can't explain why animal by-products groups hosted a carpet fair, other than the fact that the carpets were made of wool or silk. I suppose if you stretched logic a bit a silkworm might qualify as an animal. But the timing was right for me to arrange my life and work in Santa Barbara to allow for a few weeks absence for such a rare opportunity so I didn't question anything. I accepted the invitation to the Tientsin Carpet Fair immediately.
Tientsin Hotel Number One was old. It was as clean as any place could be where brooms and dustpans are the substitute for vacuums when cleaning tired worn carpets. But this was a big exciting adventure and things like dirty carpets didn't really matter. Our group quite liked the quaintness of Tientsin Hotel Number One. I was deeply saddened to hear it totally collapsed in the big earthquake that hit Tientsin the following year, but happy it hadn't occurred while we were in residence.
My room had two dark metal twin beds and quilts in white muslin duvet covers with big square cut-outs mid-quilt to show the pink quilt inside. The steam radiator worked, and so did the unglamorous but western style toilet. The hot water supply was occasional at best. The bed linens and limited towels were thin with age and wear, but clean. All meals taken at the hotel were quite good. The first night Marge urged all of us to get a sealed bottle of water in the dining room to take to our rooms. So we all followed her lead and got bottles of water like Marge's. Traversing the lobby heading for the elevator holding our Chinese water bottles we drew rather quizzical stares. In our rooms it only took one sniff, not even a sip, to understand the reason for those quizzical stares. Somewhere along the way the word water had been translated into strong undrinkable white wine.
There were questionable locks on the doors to our rooms and no Chinese inhibitions about entering without knocking. Delivery of a thermos of boiling water, clean laundry being returned, the nightly inquisitional visits from Comrade Sung — all entered no matter the state of dress or undress we might be in without hesitation and totally unannounced. More than once I was caught stark naked but no one blinked. Well, no one but me!
Comrade Sung appeared to be responsible for us. Although our original thinking was he was checking us out for what harm we might do to China, I eventually realized he was equally concerned that nothing bad happens to the rare visitors from America. There were elements that might profit from an unpleasant incident involving Americans in China. The Bamboo Curtain was just beginning to rise a tiny bit and not everyone in China approved.
Each night after we returned from dinner — about the time we had all our clothes off and were ready to bathe — Comrade Sung would burst into one of our rooms accompanied by two young language students from the foreign language school in Tientsin. Two different students every night. "Mrs. Jackson, why Mrs. Pollack wear white gloves all time?" "Mrs. Jackson, why Jerry Fisher do all talking and wife not talk much?" And in other rooms he had quite a few questions about Mrs. Jackson. "Why Mrs. Jackson have two coats? Who was Jacqueline she talks about? Her daughter is named Tracey." (Jacqueline was my beloved German shepherd.) "Why Mrs. Jackson always want yoghurt for breakfast?" Reason for this was I'd been advised that the Chinese had learned to make delicious yoghurt from the Russians and it was a safe way to get calcium into my Chinese diet.
During one of his interrogations with me, quite amusingly Comrade Sung confirmed our suspicions that all our bags were carefully and cleverly searched while we were at the fair each day. "Mrs. Jackson," he began. "Why Mrs. Allen have so many hairs?" It took a minute for me to understand. Some years previously actress Jayne Meadows Allen's adored long-time hairdresser retired. After endless attempts to replace him, Jayne simply gave up and started covering her own beautiful natural red hair with red wigs. And she was traveling with five red wigs in her "locked" suitcases. —to be continued
A Front Row Seat for the Cultural Revolution: And So the Adventure Begins (Part 2)
My flight to China took over 24 hours. We ran into a heavy snow storm that put us down in Anchorage, and kept us there until record snowfall abated in Tokyo. My plane seatmate was a U.S. military man who, during his temporary leave in the States, had been dramatically reunited with his wife on the popular "Truth or Consequences" TV show. The next day she told him she was divorcing him!
Two of our party, Helene Pollack and Herb Cole, had been told by their U.S. doctors that they wouldn't need smallpox vaccination certificates. Immediately upon arrival in Hong Kong they were rushed into an office at the Airport. Helene came out rubbing her arm, clutching an official white form. Herb came out looking distraught. He didn't get a shot because he still had a scab from his U. S. vaccination. But the nurse couldn't give him a form like Helene's. I suggested we adjust our itinerary to allow an extra half hour at every port of embarkation and debarkation for Herb's vaccinations. He didn't find me amusing.
Torrie Levy had her own crisis to cope with. Her hairdryer broke the first morning in Hong Kong and she didn't want to continue the trip. She'd already lost her glasses on the plane from Los Angeles. Her mother Marge Levy had lived through 30 years of these crises with Torrie and carried on unconcerned.
The two days in Hong Kong involved a lot of trips to China Travel Agency to get the endless documents required. And we all spent a good part of the last night making sure our customs declarations were accurate to the last U. S. penny or dime that might be found in a pocket or bottom of a purse. We'd been forcefully warned that there was no fooling around with money declarations going in or coming out of China. Pennies and dimes mattered to the precise Chinese.
And so, when that big old puffing steam engine pulled us as close to the border as it could go, we were ready for the short walk across the wooden bridge into the People's Republic of China where the bright red flags were waving and Chairman Mao was smiling at us from a big gaudy painting.
Lugging carry-on bags, camera cases, coats and purse, I walked excitedly across the short bridge into the People's Republic of China. Well, I didn't exactly walk in. I fell in. There was a small step as I walked off the bridge that was invisible beneath all the things I was carrying and down I went.

The customs people were smiling and cooperative, not at all what we'd been led to anticipate. Well, they were smiling and cooperative until they got to Rosa and Jayne. Jayne's passport and visa photos had been taken without her red wig and she wasn't getting into the People's Republic of China without removing the wig she was wearing. However, Rosa was the real problem. Since we'd been helping her carry them we were aware that she was entering the People's Republic of China with 11 suitcases and some extra boxes and bags. What we didn't realize was she was bringing not only clothes for her family but TV sets, bathroom scales, meat grinders, and more. The customs officials were not happy with Rosa's baggage and we seemed in for an endless delay. We'll never know if her persistence wore them down, they just wanted her out of there, or Rosa said some magical name or words, but we were suddenly and most unexpectedly waved on.
An hour and a half later, after much tea served in tall quaintly decorated enamel cups with lids, and a good lunch of assorted dishes of stir fried vegetables, pork, chunks of deep fried fish, and rice we exited the way we'd entered. We had to catch a train to Canton. In Canton we'd catch the plane to Peking where we'd take a train to Tientsin, which is where we were actually going. Nobody had ever suggested that this trip would be easy. Approaching the memorable step of my entrance, we encountered four uniformed men on either side of the step. They were stationed there to direct our attention to the step. Their outstretched arms, all 16 of them, pointed directly towards that one small step. Foreigners didn't often make the same mistake twice during the Cultural Revolution in China.
The train to Canton was clean and air conditioned. We were now passing through a tropical area, not unfamiliar to my Santa Barbara eye. Lush green foliage and crops, flowers, banana trees, house roofs of red tile. The Canton train station was a marvel of high ceilinged, Leningrad influenced, Art Nouveau. The vast waiting room, filled with eggplant colored imitation leather sofas, had marvelous etched glass windows. Glass curtains of lace with bamboo design stretched the length of the two story tall exterior windows. But we didn't linger here. We were moved on to the airport and another waiting room and more tea. We drank a lot of tea in dining or waiting rooms before we finally got to Tientsin. The dining rooms all had wash basins near the door. Waiting rooms were decorated with small tangerine trees covered with tiny fruit in pots and lots of big red propaganda banners hanging everywhere.
And so ends the first chapter of "A Front Row Seat for the Cultural Revolution." In a few days we start Chapter Two. You don't want to miss it!
A Front Row Seat for the Cultural Revolution: And So the Adventure Begins
Since Fluffy took off to save his turkey friends from Thanksgiving disaster there haven't been any health reports and queries come in from all over the world. Thank all of you for caring. I'm proud to report I'm making great progress. Tracey was here again and got me to dine at Lucky's, Via Vai & even lunch at the Pharmacy. She found a stairless path from the parking lot in.
Yesterday Holly Lord and I lunched at Tydes and last night Bill Cornfield took me to Plow & Angel for dinner beneath the magnolia trees filled with sparking lights. And we even had a full moon!
And now I'm getting back to work. I haven't felt up the hassle of getting my book "A Front Seat at the Cultural Revolution" published. This story of Jayne Meadows, Steve Allen and I getting into China in 1975 is fascinating and has an ending that is astounding! And great photos of a China were not a single person in the entire country owned a car. Where everyone wore the same shabby Mao suits. Today the roads are filled with Ferraris and Bentleys. Fifteen thousand dollar Birkin handbags can't be found in New York now. They are all going to China!
Tracey suggested I serialize the book on my blog so here goes. Come with me to a China totally unrelated to China today. Take a front seat at the Cultural Revolution with Jayne, Steve and me……….
Beverly Hills April 2005: Monday's society columns reported that Merv Griffin's Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel ballroom was filled to overflowing, the gala benefit chairman wore a floral print chiffon gown from Oscar de la Renta's spring collection and $250,000 was raised for the charity.
"You live in Santa Barbara I understand," the elegant older woman, an American of Chinese descent, sitting to my right said in opening conversation. And my affirmative answer was followed with, "Do you know Rosa Wu* by any chance?"
"Indeed I do. It was thanks to Rosa that I was able to visit China during the Cultural Revolution 34 years ago. Just last week I told a friend about a remark I made to my fellow traveler Steve Allen(1) in 1975, that Rosa's mother must have been the Madame Claude(2) of China to get us into China during the Cultural Revolution, and to get us a one month visa at that…
* Name has been changed
1. Steve Allen was actor, composer, author, comedian and possibly best known for starting the Tonight Show in 1954 on NBC.
2. Madame Claude ran the most famous, most glamorous house of prostitution in Paris the second half of the 20th century. Many of her beautiful, elegant, well trained girls married into the French aristocracy.
They were an incongruous pair, the flame-tressed American woman and the stylish American of Chinese descent belting out chorus after chorus of Hello Dolly in Mandarin Chinese. Big red-painted wheels rolling noisily over rusted train tracks played backup for the twosome as we made our way towards the crossing point into the People's Republic of China.
White mist from the steam engine up ahead cast a protective shield over a cluster of baby water buffalo grazing beyond our train windows. Big-footed Hakka women, who unlike most Han Chinese women never bound their feet, labored in the fields, shielded from the 20th century by black ruffled curtains cascading from their crownless straw sun shade hats. Viewing the serene ancient pastoral scene outside our train windows one could lose prospective of the ideological fanaticism of the Cultural Revolution that gnawed away at the remarkable ancient Chinese civilization.
And we were singing our way right into the eye of that frightening storm.
It was February 24, 1975 and ten of us from southern California were going into China. During that dark period of Chinese history people didn't go to China, or leave China, visit China, take a trip to China. One was either going into China or coming out of China. It was rather like gaining admission to a high security prison.
The trip had come upon us quite unexpectedly. Rosa Wu had gone from Santa Barbara to visit her mother in Peking, a rather surprising event in 1974 when American citizens were not welcome in China unless their name was Nixon or Kissinger. While there she learned from her beautiful mother that the Chinese government was hoping to somehow get 10 Americans for the upcoming First Annual Tientsin Carpet Fair to be held in February 1975. The had ten Rumanians and ten Czechoslovakians, ten Russians and ten Bulgarians. But suddenly they wanted ten Americans.
Jumping into action Rosa flew out of China to Hong Kong and from there contacted her friend actress Jayne Meadows Allen in Los Angeles and on the telephone she, Jayne's' husband Steve Allen and Jayne formed a carpet company. That was three out of required ten Americans. Then Rosa remembered that she had seen me taking notes for my society column in the Santa Barbara News-Press in shorthand and remembered me once saying I longed to some day walk on the Great Wall of China. "Call Beverley Jackson in Santa Barbara and ask her if she wants to come as the secretary of our carpet company." Without a thought of how I would swing it of course I said yes!
That was four out of ten. Rosa and Jayne filled out the remaining six with a couple who owned a carpet company, one of Hollywood's leading interior designers and her daughter, a woman who had an important antique carpet company and a male interior designer. I was the least interested in carpets but I worked the hardest once we got to the Tientsin Carpet Fair as I had to keep writing the whole time — notes on all the endless meetings and transactions. I earned my trip by filling notebook after notebook of shorthand notes that were really of no interest to us but impressed the Chinese with how dedicated I was to my job. Jayne and Rosa bought lots of carpets for their company. Steve spent his time talking into his two small handheld recorders taking notes for the book he would write Explaining China.
Getting visas wasn't easy. The United States and China had no formal diplomatic relations. George H. W. Bush was our representative in China but he was not an Ambassador. He was Chief of American Legation in Peking. There was no proper embassy in Washington DC and our visas had to come from a small office somewhere in our capital. Mine arrived special delivery air mail in the evening the night before I was to leave. Being optimistic I was packed and ready to go. I knew that I was going to China even though I had no visa for entry in my hand until hours before my departure from Santa Barbara.
This is what led up to our going into China on that old steam powered train with Hollywood actress and TV comedienne Jayne Meadows and Rosa Wu singing their way into China. Other than our own group, the passengers in our railroad car were returning Chinese carrying big bundles back from a day's journey to the New Territories or Hong Kong who chose to ignore the strange singing and foreign words.
There was a bit of déjà vu for the two singers in the words "It's nice to have you back where you belong". Rosa had lived her early childhood in China, as did Jayne whose parents were American missionaries there. Jayne remembered her family's hasty departure from China when conditions turned very bad for foreigners. She was seven years old and her sister, the late actress Audrey Meadows was five.
Hello Dolly in Mandarin wasn't usual, nor was anything else about our journey into China in February 1975. Americans weren't exactly running in and out of China in over-packed tour buses at that time. President Richard Nixon had been there. And Henry Kissinger. David and Evangeline Bruce had opened the U.S. Legation, but they weren't swamped by an overflow of visitors from home. Barbara and George H. W. Bush were now holding down the Legation fort with no improvement in the situation. —to be continued

Q: Grouping transactions description and count in python I have a data frame that contains transactions. I would like to group similar transactions together and count the occurrence of those transactions for a single customer in python.
The data looks like this:
account   transaction_date  transaction description   transaction_amt
55625       15/may/19          POS: McDonalds             $15
55625       01/may/19          Netflix                    $31.5
55625       28/may/19          POS:H&M                    $150
55625       6/apr/19           Netflix                    $9
55625       30/may             McDonalds                  $6
55625       25/may/19          POS:H&M                    $32
55625       6/mar/19           POS:H&M                    $32

I want the data to be grouped in such a way that it counts the number of times the shops were visited in a month and the total spent
It should look like this:
account   trans_date  trans_description   total_spent
55625       may/19        McDonalds          $21
55625       may/19           H&M             $182
55625       mar/19           H&M             $32
55625       may/19          Netflix          $31.5
55625       apr/19          Netflix          $9

A: First process column with datetimes, remove values before : in description columns and remove $ from transaction_amt and convert to numeric:
df['transaction_date'] = (pd.to_datetime(df['transaction_date'],
                                        format='%d/%b/%y', errors='coerce')
                            .dt.strftime('%b/%y'))
df['transaction description'] = df['transaction description'].str.split(':').str[-1]
df['transaction_amt'] = df['transaction_amt'].str.lstrip('$').astype(float)
print (df)

   account transaction_date transaction description  transaction_amt

Then aggregate sum:
df1 = (df.groupby(['account','transaction_date','transaction description'])['transaction_amt']
         .sum()
         .reset_index(name='total_spent'))
print (df1)

A: Have you tried using df.groupby() ?
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.groupby.html
It works similarly to SQL's group by if you're familiar with that one.

A: First you would need to convert transaction_date(dd/mmm/yy) to trans_date(mmm/yy). You can use datetime library or dateutil library. Then create a new column trans_description from transaction_description by removing unwanted words like "POS:"
Then you can just use groupby() function in pandas library. Group by (date and description columns)

Wichita City Council OKs money for Big Ditch bypass
Wednesday, September 26 2012 12:00 AM
By Bill Wilson
The Wichita Eagle
A bypass over the Big Ditch, essential to the growth of west Wichita in the view of city officials, is two years away after the City Council approved the last $35 million of the $50 million project Tuesday.
Work will begin early next year on the floodway bypass connecting I-235 to 13th Street in west Wichita, the final two phases of a project targeting the longtime traffic snarl at I-235 and Zoo Boulevard.
The project should be complete around Thanksgiving 2014, giving drivers access to southbound I-235 from 13th Street west of the Big Ditch and letting drivers exit northbound I-235 to 13th Street west of the Big Ditch.
Council members said the rapid residential and retail growth in west Wichita have made moving cars in and out of the area more difficult.
"This floodway crossing is critical to much of west Wichita, and it's being paid by the sales tax money we've been collecting for many years. It's great proof we make all kinds of wonderful improvements with all of those dollars," said council member Jeff Longwell.
Tuesday's action covers the second and third phases of the bypass project, including the realignment and paving of Hoover Road from Ninth to 13th Street and the construction of the bypass itself.
The council had previously allocated $15 million to the project, including $5 million in 2011 for the widening of 13th Street and Ridge to handle the expected traffic increase generated by the bypass. That project was recently completed, including a second left-turn lane to channel more vehicles from southbound Ridge onto 13th Street. It also added a second right-hand turn lane on 13th Street to allow more cars to head north on Ridge.
Also this morning, the council approved $7 million in industrial revenue bonds to finance the expansion of the Kansas Health Foundation at 309 E. Douglas.
The foundation is building the 36,000-square-foot, $8.6 million Kansas Leadership Center and Kansas Health Foundation Conference Center on the parking lot adjacent to the foundation headquarters at 309 E. Douglas.
It will house the new headquarters and training facility for the Kansas Leadership Center, a non-profit created by the foundation in 2005 to identify and develop community and state leaders. Also included is a conference center, with a mix of large and small meeting spaces and a town-hall space that seats 200.
The facility is part of the first completely redeveloped downtown block, including the Ambassador Hotel; the Slawson Companies retail and office renovation of the old Henry's building; and the $7.5 million, city-financed parking garage and urban park just south of the leadership center.
Construction should be complete in about a year. The OPUS Group of Kansas City is the project's design-build firm.

.aims to contribute to the building of a common vision/perspective on ICTs, and to promote a Caribbean strategy and/or regional Caribbean-wide actions.
CIVIC was formed from participants of the Caribbean ICT Roundtable held in the Barbados on October 28-30 2002, but it is now open to all active Caribbean ICT stakeholders (see "CIVIC membership" below).
It is based upon an asynchronism, electronic conferencing platform, the ICA Caribbean mailing list and its related web tools (currently hosted on the Dgroup virtual platform). There will be additional webtools as CIVIC evolves.
It is a Caribbean managed and Caribbean owned virtual community.
The term 'Caribbean' refers to the following countries :- Antigua, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Trinidad & Tobago, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia, St Kitts Nevis, Suriname, Grenada, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, USVI, Netherlands Antilles, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyana, Puerto Rico, Montserrat.
Initial support for its organization was provided by Institute of Connectivity for the Americas (ICA).
2.1 There are two types of membership: Full members or associate membership. Full membership of CIVIC is open to persons of Caribbean nationality or descent, and persons living or working in the region or doing research in the region. Associate membership is open to anybody wants to be a member but who does not fit this criteria.
.send a self introduction message to the moderator. Shortly after membership confirmation it is required for the new member to post his/her self introduction to the CIVIC as a whole.
2.3 Following assessment of membership eligibility individuals will be subscribed to the virtual conferencing device/mailing list and will have access to the web based tools. Membership is individual rather then institutional, but members can/should indicate when they are presenting institutional views, statements, etc.
2.5 Members who repeatedly do not respect the commonly accepted behavior in virtual communities, called "netiquette" (see below), will have their subscription and membership cancelled with prior notification.

2.7 Members are requested to provide and maintain a functional email address. Emails that "bounce" (no longer existing) or present errors for a long period of time will be deleted, and membership will be lost.
.Be active participants who share information, ask questions, respond to requests, share answers, approve or disapprove motions and proposal, follow the collectively established discussion agenda, etc.
The mailing list is moderated, to maintain a "clean" and safe info-environment and to keep a high signal-to-noise ratio. Technical Moderation may be applied for formatting and inserting translated versions of the posts.
.assist, redirect and process administrative requests (subscription, un-subscription, setting changes, etc).
.approve messages and/or requests from senders.
.avoid the circulation of email attachments, viruses, commercial advertising ("spam,"), email chains and hoaxes, administrative requests, non members submissions, etc.

6.Include contact information- Mention the source(s), web links, copyrights, etc.
7.Be careful not to spread viruses and do not send "spam".
.Consult the list archives or FAQ, if available, before posting a question; this is a good way to become familiar with a list.
.Lurk, listen and learn what's acceptable before posting to the list.
Make sure that the 'subject' field of your email message is meaningful as it can be very frustrating to others not to be able to judge the content of a message from its subject.
When you use the 'reply' option, ensure that the subject still accurately reflects the content of your message (like the title of a book). If it doesn't, change it.
Try to restrict yourself to one subject per message; send multiple messages if you have multiple subjects.
One subject per message allows recipients to use the 'subject' field to judge the importance of the messages they have received.
Sometimes groups develop code words to make it even easier to identify the purpose or content of messages.
Appending the words News, FYI, URGENT, Update etc. to your subject line can help people judge the importance/relevance of your message.
.Whenever possible, keep posts to the list brief.
.One or two screens is a good space to use.
.It's always better to give recipients the option of reading more with a link or attachment, rather than forcing them to read a lot in your message.
.Do not send HTML, rich text, or stylised email, or messages in "quoted-printable" format; not all email programs of list members will recognize such formats.
.Send messages in plain text aka: ASCII.
.When sending to mailing lists, send a link instead of attachments (especially large ones); the majority of Internet users (even in the "North") have relatively slow modem connections.
.Sign your name. Sometimes, your name will appear in the "From:" field.
.If you are quoting someone else's message, quote sparingly, and try to eliminate any leftover or unnecessary headers.
.If responding to many parts of a single message, you may alternate between original quotes and your responses.
.DON'T SHOUT! WHEN YOU TYPE IN UPPER CASE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING ONLINE.
.When you want someone's attention, hard-hitting and lowercase words are more effective than simple, but uppercase, words.
.If you are forwarding an email from someone to a mailing list, always ask for permission first to make their thoughts public.
.If you do use information that is not your own, give proper credit.
.We highly recommend you to consult other sources; some are listed in the Annex 2 below.
1.Be aware that whenever you post you always have two options: you can send to the list, or you can send to individuals.
2.When your message veers away from the purpose of the list, or from the principle discussions, or when it gets personal, send your message to an individual and not the whole group.
3.Follow the norms set by your community and/or facilitator.
4.Everyone has freedom of speech on the Internet, but nobody has the right to say anything they want "anywhere" they want.
5.If you join a group, and then don't follow group norms, that group has the right to kick you out.
6.If you feel the need to flame, send hate mail, or otherwise reprimand another list member, do it off-list.
7.Such messages destroy the tenuous sense of trust and community that group facilitators try so hard to encourage.
8.Be courteous to other list members. It's OK to disagree, but always be respectful of the person even while you debate the issues.
9.Sometimes what you say is lost when the way you say it is seen as disrespectful.
10.Be cautious when responding to messages that make you passionate. Email lacks the other cues and clues that convey the sense in which what you say is to be taken, and you can easily convey the wrong impression.
11.It is good practice to wait before responding, or to draft your message and review it sometime later before posting.
12.It is always easier to edit a message you drafted earlier in the day, than it is to compose a new message with explanations for those who misunderstood the intent of your original post.
13.If you meant something in jest, use a 'smiley' :-) to convey that meaning. The subtleties of sarcasm are different from culture to culture, and it may inadvertently cause offence.
14.If you engage in a debate, try not to debate in order to change a person's mind, it happens less frequently than you might expect.
15.Be satisfied with presenting your point of view clearly and thoroughly, so that others in the group understand what you are saying.

If you have an account at one of the IRS "bad banks" and you used the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), you will face a 50 percent offshore penalty on the highest aggregate account balance during the disclosure period, instead of the regular 27.5 percent offshore penalty. On top of that, the 50 percent penalty applies to the balance of all of the taxpayer's accounts being disclosed, not just the ones that are held at bad banks.
For example, a taxpayer with a single account at a bad bank worth $20,000, but with $1,000,000 in unreported foreign accounts at other banks, would face the 50 percent offshore penalty on the full account balance of $1,020,000. With penalties this high, you may wonder whether offshore disclosure is even worth the trouble. In fact, it may be even more important for taxpayers with accounts held at bad banks.
Not only can the IRS assess penalties equal to 50 percent of the aggregate account balance for willful FBAR violations, but criminal prosecution can also be pursued. The OVDP—although it can be costly—offers protection from criminal prosecution related to unreported offshore accounts.

Ziegler Ag Equipment, a major Midwestern dealer of agricultural equipment, needed a new advertising campaign for the AGCO Challenger tractor line, for which Ziegler is the largest dealer in North America.
Challenger is a high-end tractor line, with numerous points of competitive advantage in the marketplace, but does not have a dominant market share. Ziegler Ag was looking for a creative, high-impact ad campaign, customized to Ziegler's established visual identity, to attract new attention to the Challenger brand and get the conversation started with potential customers.
The ads were noticed, and Ziegler Ag received many positive comments about them. "Successful Farming" magazine used the beach ad in a reader test ("Do you remember this ad?") and 82% of respondents remembered seeing the ad.

About Bush-Whacker
Letter from Robert Hall
The Bush-Whacker Story
In the early 1920's, G.L. Turner started his North Little Rock Arkansas business, The G.L. Turner Company, as a statewide distributor of parts for horse-drawn plowshares. In 1951, G.L. passed away, leaving his wife and bookkeeper in charge. The two soon realized they were unable to effectively operate the business, so it was sold to Joe Steinert, a local businessman.
Given the changes in technology, Joe had a different vision for the business, so he took the parts relegated to the horsedrawn plowshares to the junkyard, selling them for scrap. It was around that time Joe began making The Bush-Whacker Mower, patterned after the "Corsicana Mower", a rotary mower built in Corsicana, Texas. Shortly thereafter, Joe received his patents and began selling Bush-Whackers to the various highway transportation departments throughout Arkansas.
In 1969, Joe Steinert wanted to retire, so he contacted his friend Dick Hall, a crosstown manufacturer who had been making industrial sized storage tanks since 1952. Dick was not interested, but two weeks later his son Bob was, after hurting his back at his water-well business in Hamburg, Arkansas.
In 1969, Bob Hall acquired The G. L. Turner Company, continuing to service the Arkansas Highway Departments, expanding to the Mississippi DOT's in year two, and never looking back after that!
From 1969-1994, Bob sold only 5' & 6' cutters, referred to today as the ST-6010 and ST-7210. All along, Mr. Hall developed an excellent reputation, not only for his integrity, but for building quality rotary cutters that were notoriously tougher and heavier than the competition.
Mr. Hall brought his son Robert aboard in 1990, shortly after Robert graduated from Christian Brothers University in Memphis with his engineering degree. Robert was named President of the company in 2002. Robert's innovation and engineering insight has enabled Bush-Whacker to expand its plant size, add new products like Boom Cutters, unveil the legendary smooth top series featuring the ST-180, and broaden its core business from mostly highway departments to the agriculture markets. Robert's accomplishments have made Bush-Whacker a national brand and a true force to contend with in the rotary cutter market.
Today, Hall Manufacturing continues its legacy as a family owned business, with the support and guidance of Robert Hall as President. Bush-Whacker proudly hand-crafts its rotary mowers, and supports the local community by hiring skilled craftsman. The Bush-Whacker heritage that began in the 1950's lives on today –priding itself on building heavy-duty cutters that are attractively priced!

FaceTime with a large group: Yes, it's possible, and it'll work on iPhone, iPad or Mac
Group FaceTime will let you chat with up to 32 people at the same time. Here's how to set up and use Apple's Zoom alternative.

A Group FaceTime call is a convenient way to stay in touch with all of your friends.
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
For the most up-to-date news and information about the coronavirus pandemic, visit the WHO and CDC websites.
Forget Zoom. Use your iPhone, iPad or Mac to hold a group video chat through Apple's video call platform, FaceTime. While it hasn't always supported group calls, Apple added support for up to 32 people in early 2019. That's enough for an entire classroom, club or your extended family for what's surely a much-needed break during the coronavirus pandemic
Personally, I've set up a board game on one end of the call and then using Group FaceTime to play. At first, it sounded lame and cheesy, but it was a ton of fun and put a smile on all of our faces.
Group FaceTime works on any Apple device that's running iOS/iPadOS 12.1.4 or newer, and MacOS 10.14.3 or newer. Some older model iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches ($280 at Amazon) that aren't compatible with iOS 13 can still be part of Group FaceTime calls, but their participation will be limited to only audio.
Here's how to use Group FaceTime on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Group FaceTime is an underrated feature of Apple products.
Start a group call in Messages
Start a group video call directly from your group iMessage threads by tapping on the profile photos at the top of the chat. That will reveal a FaceTime button -- tap it. Each member of the group chat will receive an invitation to join the group video call. Participants can come and go as they please, as long as at least one person is active in the call.
Group chats are just a few taps away from being a group video call.

Use the FaceTime app
You can also start a group call in the FaceTime app itself. Open the FaceTime app and tap on the "+" sign in the top-right corner. Enter a number, email address or select someone from your contacts then tap the green Video button.
After you place the call, you can invite more people to join by swiping up in the video call and tapping on Add person.
Use the FaceTime app to create a random group video chat, too.
You can use your Mac, too
Place a group video call from the FaceTime app on your Mac by following the same core steps as on the iPhone or iPad. You can either click on the Details button followed by the video call button in a group iMessage chat, or open the FaceTime app and enter a name, number or email address in the search field (just above your call history). Keep adding contacts until your group is finished, then click the Video call button to dial.
Group FaceTime works on your Mac, as well.
Óscar Gutiérrez/CNET
Have some fun during the call
iPhone and iPad owners will be able to have a little bit of fun with their calls thanks to camera effects, Animoji and Memoji. While in a call, tap on the Effects button (it has a star icon) and you'll be able to add stickers, use your personalized Memoji, or make yourself look like an animated shark to keep others entertained.

All examples are misunderstandings or things that have been said and done to Emma by someone within a school setting.
My daughter, Emma will be at your school this year. A few days ago, Emma told me she was "scared to go to new school." Emma loved her teachers and friends from her old school. So I want to introduce you to her. I cannot speak for Emma, I cannot know if everything I write here is completely accurate, but these are things I have learned over the years, things that are specific to Emma and that may be helpful, at least that is my hope.
Emma loves people. She is gregarious. Her fall back position is one of happiness. She is also very sensitive. She can tell if someone is upset, stressed or angry, and can become easily overwhelmed by those feelings.
Emma resists academics. They are hard for her and she becomes upset when she makes a mistake. She doesn't like getting anything wrong. But if you help her succeed, she will flourish. If she is reading and doesn't know a word, give it 15 seconds or so to see if she can work it out on her own, (don't say "sound it out" or "try again" because she didn't learn to read phonetically and while she is able to sound some words out on her own, it won't help her with all those exceptions like 'limb' and 'thought.') Emma has a strong desire to learn and an even stronger desire to do things independently. With your help, she can and will succeed.
Emma gets a look of panic on her face. She may begin breathing with short sharp intakes and she will often talk to herself in a high-pitched questioning voice laced with anxiety. When Emma is overwhelmed she may shut down and withdraw. She may begin scripting, using set phrases she's heard. Those scripts may be in context with what's going on or their connection may not be clear to you, but that doesn't mean there is no connection, it just means you don't understand or know what it is. Emma often has trouble processing her feelings and the feelings of others. Sometimes she needs help identifying those feelings, just as we all do. Sometimes she will start repeating things other teachers have said to her in the past in a scolding tone, such as, "No Emma! You may not ________. If you _________ we will take __________ away!" When Emma is overwhelmed she has to rely on her scripts as all other words have left her. Try to listen even if the words seem meaningless, she is trying to communicate her feelings of distress to you. Sometimes she might say, "You have to ask for help!" This is what she says when she needs help, but sadly this can confuse those who do not know Emma well. She might also say, "Do you want to go swimming?" Which means she really, really wants to go swimming. If you show her on the schedule when she'll be able to go she will usually calm down.
It's Too Late! Now What?
Emma loves anything silly and ridiculous. Silly faces, silly dances, playful interactions, games! Emma loves to laugh. She loves to make up word games. She enjoys taking a word like "uncle" and changing it to "Jungle." She will happily tell you that she has a "Jungle Andy and a Jungle Victor." If you then respond by saying in a loud playful voice, "Jungle Andy? You have a Jungle Andy?" she will find this hysterically funny. Play along, Emma's humor is infectious!
If you say, "You have to do __________. If you don't, I'm going to take __________ away" will make her upset and anxious. She will have a hard time concentrating because she will worry about having something she wants taken from her. Instead say, "You can ___________, but first you need to ____________." That way Emma can concentrate on having/doing something she loves as opposed to taking something away.
Emma has a string that she loves. Please do not take away her string or use it as a form of punishment. Her string helps her focus and makes her feel safe. If you take it away or threaten to she will become completely overwhelmed. Sometimes when she is writing or typing and needs both hands to do so, you can ask her to set her string near her or in her lap. If you allow her to control where she puts her string she will feel safe enough to concentrate and do her work. Also (a little secret) if you get some string or ribbon and copy her movements in a playful way, you might see and feel for yourself how wonderful it can be and Emma will be delighted that someone wanted to interact with her in a way that she loves.
Emma does not have any allergies or foods she cannot eat. However she likes to eat the same food everyday. Some food looks, tastes and smells strange to Emma. Please do not make her eat anything she isn't interested in eating. Please do not tell her she must finish something in order to have something else. If Emma shows interest in something someone else has or is eating and it's appropriate, do allow her to smell, lick, taste or eat it if she wants to. And please do tell me so that I can find whatever it is and offer it to her at home too. We will pack Emma's lunch every day.
Assume competence and respect Emma's process. Emma can and does learn. She may take longer or less time than another child, but she will learn. She is extremely independent. Show her, help her, let her.
I am available to talk, discuss and strategize. I don't have all the answers, but I may have some. Please let me help in any way that I can. There is no detail about Emma's day that is too small. Do not hesitate in emailing ________ or calling ________.

Q: uniqueness depends on only one-to-one relationship Here are my models:
class ActIds(models.Model):
    #no_celex for index_ids must be unique
    no_celex=models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True, null=True)

class Act(models.Model):
    index_ids=models.OneToOneField(ActIds, related_name='index_ids')
    eurlex_ids=models.OneToOneField(ActIds, related_name='eurlex_ids')
    oeil_ids=models.OneToOneField(ActIds, related_name='oeil_ids')

I want the field no_celex to be unique ONLY if it "comes from" index_ids. How to do that?
More explanation :
This must be impossible:
act=Act()
act.index_ids.no_celex="test"
act.save()
act2=Act()
act2.index_ids.no_celex="test"
act2.save()

But this can be possible:
act=Act()
act.index_ids.no_celex="test"
act.eurlex_ids.no_celex="test"
act.save()

And this can be possible too:
act=Act()
act.index_ids.no_celex="test"
act.save()
act2=Act()
act2.eurlex_ids.no_celex="test"
act2.save()

Here is my (pseudo) code so far:
class ActIdsForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model=ActIds

    def is_valid(self):
        valid=super(ActIdsForm, self).is_valid()

        if not valid:
            return valid

        no_celex=self.cleaned_data.get("no_celex")

        try:
            #does the no_celex already exist?
            act=Act.objects.get(index_ids.no_celex=no_celex)
            #if yes, is it the act being saved (ok) or another act (error)?
            if act.index_ids.id!="id of the act being saved":
                print "pb no_celex already exists"
                self._errors['no_celex']=ErrorList([u"no_celex already exists!"])
                return False
    except:
                pass

        return True

My problem: how can I get the id of the current act (from my ActIds model)? It is an update form...

A: Have you considered writing your own save and clean methods on your model, to enforce the logic you want?
Have your save method call full clean (which will call your custom clean).
def clean(self):
    # check for stuff to help with conditions
    if <my conditions are not met>:
        raise ValidationError('%s is not a valid Model. Please follow the rules')

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.full_clean()
    super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

20,09,762 Lending Given to Micro & Small Units Under CGTMSE
SMEStreet Desk Follow on Twitter Send an email October 20, 2015Last Updated: October 19, 2015
SMEs Credit
Under the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises, proposals of 20,09,762 units for an outlay of Rs 99,554.46 crore have been approved.
"Under Credit Guarantee Scheme of Ministry of MSME, collateral free loan is encouraged through Member Lending Institutions. Till September, 2015, 117 Member Lending Institutions have approved the proposal of 20,09,762 units with an amount of Rs.99,554.46 crore," the MSME Ministry said on its social media site.
From April to September, 2015 which is for the first three months of current financial year, 1,97,532 proposals for a sum of Rs.10,166.83 crore have been approved by Member Lending Institutions.
All micro and small entrepreneurs are encouraged to use such facility, the Ministry reiterated.
Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India has launched Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS) so as to strengthen credit delivery system and facilitate flow of credit to the MSE sector. To operationalise the scheme, Government of India and SIDBI set up the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE).
The main objective is that the lender should give importance to project viability and secure the credit facility purely on the primary security of the assets financed. The other objective is that the lender availing guarantee facility should endeavour to give composite credit to the borrowers so that the borrowers obtain both term loan and working capital facilities from a single agency.
The Credit Guarantee scheme (CGS) seeks to reassure the lender that, in the event of a MSE unit, which availed collateral free credit facilities, fails to discharge its liabilities to the lender, the Guarantee Trust would make good the loss incurred by the lender up to 75 / 80/ 85 per cent of the credit facility.
