We still think of "flu season" or "cold season" but our ancestors had to be exquisitely sensitive to the seasonal and environmental conditions that could trigger illness. Whether from the prevalence of disease carrying insects or animals at certain times, spoiled food in warm weather, crowded, airless conditions in cold weather, or the weather itself… as in the case of Summerheat. I enjoyed refreshing my memories about the theory, diagnosis and treatment of Summerheat, and hope you do as well!
We don't see a lot of Summerheat in the clinic these days. If someone has heatstroke or sunpoisoning, they are probably (and unfortunately!) not coming in to see their TCM practitioner. But it's helpful to understand the mechanisms of Summerheat and how to treat it, both for home care and first aid, and as a reminder of how heat can enter the body, and be guided out of it.
The onset of Summerheat invasion is very abrupt. It's considered a yang pathogen, moving quickly and strongly. Someone can go from fine to showing symptoms in minutes. Mild Summerheat is something we've probably all seen and experienced personally. It's characterized by thirst, headache, profuse sweating, dizziness and dry mouth and tongue. Severe cases will have fever, mental confusion and even convulsions. The tongue will be red and the pulse will be rapid and surging. The external heat pathogen is injuring the Yin energy and fluids of the body - a classic example of 'excess transforms to deficiency.' The Yang nature of Summerheat leads it to move upward and outward (the Yang directions). Summerheat invasion can be complicated with Damp, Cold or Wind, either from internal or external sources, bringing other symptoms into the mix.
Acupuncture treatment for Summerheat focuses on clearing Heat - needling Du 14, UB 40, LI 11 - the classic cooling points. PC 6 is also appropriate - it clears heat, but also directly connects to and regulates the Heart, the organ of the Fire element, and most vulnerable to attack from a heat pathogen.
Gua sha is an excellent heat clearing remedy and can easily be done at home (or at the beach!) Gua sha the back, neck, shoulders and even the armpit and the crook of the elbow.
Classically, the focus of herbal treatment would be on heat clearing, such as Bai Hu Tang. I have used shi gao (gypsum) alone topically (dissolved in water) to good effect on a sunburn, although it's unlikely your patients have it in the medicine cabinet. Bai bian dou (hyacinth bean), he ye (lotus leaf) lu dou (mung bean) and xi gua (watermelon) are the summerheat clearing herbs in the materia medica, and all are the kind of food herb that can be kept on hand and either added to meals or at the ready should someone get overheated. Fresh apricots are also a folk remedy for summerheat. I've suggested an easy recipe for treating mild cases, using cucumber and mint, at the end of the article.
Damp: Summerheat Damp is very common, and some texts indicated that all summerheat patterns have a damp component. Certainly in hot humid climates, Summerheat Damp is what you'll see and suffer from. It can also be caused by drinking large amounts of cold drinks in reaction to hot weather, damaging the spleen and adding damp to the heat. In addition to heat signs, the patient may feel a sense of oppression or obstruction in the chest or stomach, congestion in the ears, and have a phlegmy cough, scanty urine, or clear, watery diarrhea.
Cold: Summerheat can easily be complicated by cold in modern times! Hot weather outside and frigid air conditioning brings the two pathogens together. The Cold constricts the energy of the body and causes pain, leading to symptoms such as headache and body aches, fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
Patient education: This is a great time to teach TCM based health habits! Eating and especially drinking appropriately to the season, protecting the body and especially the back of the neck from wind in air-conditioned offices, and regular acupuncture treatments are all habits to share with your patients so they can thrive during the summerheat season.
I've suggested cucumber here as a substitute for xi gua. Cultivated melons are quite sweet and can be too hard on the spleen or increase dampness. The cucumber will cool you off in a jiffy.
In a blender puree a whole cucumber (about 1-2 cups of flesh) and a small handful of fresh mint. If the cucumber is not organic or has a thick skin, peel first. Dilute with an equal amount of room temperature filtered water and sip slowly. You may add a squeeze of lime to taste.

WWII Commonwealth War Graves Commission archives to be digitalised
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is making its archive of digitised World War II records available to the public to coincide with the 70th anniversary of VJ Day on August 15
Rob Grant
Commonwealth war graves
More than half a million British and Empire forces had already been killed in the Great War by the time the Commonwealth War Graves Commission was established to keep an official record of the fallen in May 1917.
Nearly half a million more deaths would follow between then and Armistice Day as the bloodshed of World War I continued on a scale never previously witnessed.
And when Europe slid back into conflict in 1939, the Commission was once again needed to record the fallen.
World War II involved the British public much more directly than the Great War, so the CWGC began to record the names of civilians killed in the Blitz as well as fallen soldiers.
At the request of Winston Churchill, the civilian records were kept secret because the wartime prime minister feared it would hit morale on the home front.
Establishing and maintaining the records from both world wars would be an enormous task even today - but in the first half of the 20th century many of the details were written by hand, making referencing and updating records an almost unimaginably difficult undertaking.
The Commission was able to draw on its experience of 20 years earlier for World War II and began the task of keeping a record of the dead while the conflict carried on.
But they had to contend with Hitler's advance - with some of their staff even evacuated from mainland Europe at Dunkirk in 1940, shoulder-to-shoulder with Allied troops.
Staff would identify bodies, check and re-check details and then clerks would type up the finished records.
It was only by the mid-1960s that the bulk of the job of creating the records was complete.
Digitalised records
Now the CWGC is making its archive of digitised World War II records available to the public to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Victory in Japan (VJ) Day on August 15.
The Japanese surrender marked the end of the most widespread war the world had ever known.
For the first time the public are able to see the meticulous process of recording the scale of the loss suffered by Britain and other countries, including Ireland and India.
The records of some German soldiers buried at sites maintained by the Commission can also be viewed.
The digitised records include incredible levels of detail such as headstone inscriptions and, in some cases, the journeys undertaken by fallen soldiers to their final resting place.
The documents reveal, for example, that Corporal Ronald Francis Shaw, of the 84th Squadron of the Royal Air Force, was killed aged 25, likely as a result of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
And they show that as many as 20 Allied prisoners of war, including Dutch and American troops, could also have died alongside tens of thousands of Japanese who perished on the day of the attack.
You can also view the records of 16-year-old Private Jack Banks, thought to be the youngest British soldier to die in World War II.
Serving with the Durham Light Infantry, he took part in the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France, codenamed Operation Overlord, and was killed fighting to liberate the town of Caen in Normandy.
Andrew Fetherston, the CWGC's Archivist and Records Manager, said: "The release of our Second World War archive online opens a new avenue for members of the public to investigate and remember the individuals we commemorate.
"With the addition of these documents, alongside records relating to non-Commonwealth casualties buried in various sites around the world, it will now be possible, for the first time, to see the original records of all 1.7 million individuals the Commission commemorates.
"The archive will greatly enhance the experience of searching the CWGC's records and will mean that millions of people across the Commonwealth could discover more about their relatives who fought and died during the Second World War."

The Morning After: Seahawks fatigue as Titans O-Line imposes its will in 33-27 loss
Yesterday the (1-1) Seattle Seahawks traveled to Nashville to face the (1-1) Tennessee Titans. The Titans came out victorious and were the better team in all facets of the game. Here's a summary of what happened in their 33-27 loss.
I'll be the first to say the Seahawks always start slow. It's part of the Pete Carroll era Seahawks and has been like this since 2010, so, it's nothing new, although, losses like this don't get any easier. The Seahawks are the more talented team, no doubt about it, but hey just haven't been able to get things clicking. They will, though. Book it.
The Seattle offense is having a major identity crisis currently - they're not a power run team, they're not a finesse passing team, they're not a whole lot of anything at the moment. QB Russell Wilson looked shaky early on, the run game couldn't get going, passes were overthrown and dropped left, right ,and center causing constant three and outs. It's time to get Russ moving. He has made a living out of big, unscripted plays where he's seemingly running for his life only to make a 40 yard throw to a wide open receiver - they need more of this... immediately.
The defense had a strong first half; however, the heat and time of possession soon caught up as they gave up 33 points and over 400 yards (195 on the ground, no less).
CB Richard Sherman caused chaos with a late hit on Titans QB Marcus Mariota on the sidelines which drew multiple penalties from the officials and proceeded to argue his case (removing his helmet in the process drawing another flag) which was costly to Seattle. Mariota was classy about it and got straight back up and continued to play well. It clearly didn't phase him.
WR Doug Baldwin had a good day with 10 receptions on 15 targets totaling 105 yards and a TD. I hope the league continues to under appreciate him. He's consistent week in week out and has been for years. He does not get the recognition he deserves, outside of the Pacific North West, at least.
I was hoping pre-game that the Seahawks would avoid Titans rookie CB Adoree Jackson (one of my favorite players in the 2017 draft) on kickoffs and they did, mostly. He did return a punt to the house but a block in the back brought it back. This guy reminds me of Tyler Lockett if not better. A successful career in the NFL awaits this young man as he held his own in coverage as well. A great pickup by the Titans front office no doubt.
Overall the Seahawks showed promise with improvements on the offensive line, notably with Oday Aboushi coming in at RG. Not to mention scoring touchdowns in the first half of a game so it's not everyone at panic stations just yet. However there's definitely room for improvement and as touched on earlier, an identity needs to be found if the Hawks are going anywhere this season.
Seattle is facing the Indianapolis Colts in prime time at home this Sunday, a game they are heavy favorites to win. Keep an eye out for my pre-game notes on Thursday.

Q: How to use Python dataframe and SQLAlchemy to create MySQL tables I have to create few tables in database called 'data_immo'. To that purpose, I'm using data frames (each DataFrame corresponding to one table), MySql and SqlAlchemy.
Here is my code:
header_Bien_Immo = ['LotNb']
df_Bien_Immo = df1.loc[:, header_Bien_Immo]
df_Bien_Immo['IdLot'] = IdLot
df_Bien_Immo.index.names = ['IdBien']

def con_engine():url = "mysql+pymysql://{user}:{password}@localhost"
    engine = create_engine(url.format(user='root', password='Fer458it'))
    engine.execute("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS data_immo")
    return

def create_table(df):
    df.to_sql(name='bien_immo', con=con_engine(), if_exists='append', index=False,
          dtype={'LotNb': Integer,
                 'IdLot': Integer,
                 'IdBien': Integer})
    return

con_engine()
create_table(df_Bien_Immo)'''

The execution of that code returns an error:
line 2214, in to_sql
raise ValueError(f"{col} ({my_type}) not a string")
ValueError: LotNb (<class 'sqlalchemy.sql.sqltypes.Integer'>) not a string.
Would you have any idea what the problem is ?
Thank you

A: con_engine() function provides elements to create connection and database itself. Then, to create table we have to provide engine with database name. This is what was missing.
def con_engine():
    url = "mysql+pymysql://{user}:{password}@localhost"
    engine = create_engine(url.format(user='root', password='Fer458it'))
    engine.execute("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS data_immo")
    return

def create_table(df):
    url = "mysql+pymysql://{user}:{password}@localhost/{db}"
    engine = create_engine(url.format(user='root', password='Fer458it', db='data_immo'))
    df.to_sql(name='Lot', con=engine, if_exists='append', index=True,
              dtype={'LotNom': VARCHAR(10), 'LotType': Text, 'LotValeurFonciere': Integer, 'LotSurfBati': Integer,
              'LotSurfCarrez': DECIMAL(6, 2), 'LotNbPieces': Integer, 'LotSuperJardin': Integer})
    return

con_engine()
create_table(df_Lot)

Q: MongoDB with Docker container, not able to restore database with different name using mongorestore This is the setup i have
Created mongodb instance with docker
sudo docker run -p 27017:27017 -e MONGODB_DATABASE=DEV -e MONGODB_USER=dev -e MONGODB_PASSWORD=dev123 -e MONGODB _ADMIN_PASSWORD=dev123 -e MONGODB_ROLE=readWriteAnyDatabase --name mymongo -v testdb:/var/lib/mongodb/data -d mongo
Entered container using
sudo docker exec -it container-id /bin/bash
Executed command
mongodump -d DEV -u dev -p dev123 ( works perfectly )
Now the ISSUE happens while restoring to different database
mongorestore --db test ./dump/DEV  -- throws below error
Failed: test.duke: error reading database: not authorized on test to execute command { listCollections: 1, cursor: { batchSize: 0 } }
Stuck for 3 days now any help would be appreciated ( beginner to both docker and mongodb)

A: If your other mongo database has authentication then you should use :
mongorestore -u <username> -p <password> --authenticationDatabase=<database name> --db=test ./dump/DEV

Other advice would be to create dumps like :
mongodump --port 55555 -d testdb --gzip --archive=testdb.tar

and then restore like:
mongorestore --port 55555  --gzip --archive=testdb.tar

Gemperline files lawsuit against petition organizers
Gemperline
Liberty Township Trustee Mike Gemperline has filed a lawsuit against seven Powell residents who he claims defamed him and abused the process when they organized a petition to remove him from office last year.
The lawsuit was filed in Delaware County Common Pleas Court by Joshua Brown, Gemperline's attorney, and names seven Powell residents — Domenico Franano, Karen Slavik, Rebecca Mount, Susan Miceli, Kerry Daly, William Houk and Gary R. Johnson — as defendants.
The lawsuit alleges the individuals committed defamation, fraud in inducement to residents to sign petition; fraud in inducement to residents to donate funds; telecommunications harassment; unjust enrichment; abuse of process; frivolous conduct in filing civil claims; intentional infliction of emotional distress; false light and civil conspiracy.
The lawsuit comes as fallout from a legal battle between Save Our Services, a local organization, and Liberty Township Trustees Gemperline and Melanie Leneghan that took place last year.
In the lawsuit, Brown outlines the events that led to the suit being filed, stating that shortly after Gemperline took office in January 2018, he met with a Delaware County commissioner and the chief of the Delaware County Emergency Medical Services to discuss ways to improve EMS services in Liberty Township. Brown said that Gemperline had been clear with officials and others that he would never reduce or negatively affect fire and EMS service in the township and never proposed any arrangements or plans to change Delaware County's involvement in Liberty Township fire and EMS services.
Brown writes that in June 2018, Shyra Eichhorn, a Liberty Township trustee, "threw many Liberty Township residents into a panic by making misleading social media posts on multiple community forums" alleging that because of Gemperline and his "plan," township residents would be "in jeopardy of losing Liberty Township-based EMS."
"Eichhorn's statement initiated speculation across social media by the defendants and other community members that Delaware County EMS would replace Liberty Township EMS and over the course of the next several months knowingly and falsely held out to the community that the speculative statements were Gemperline's 'plan' to dismantle Liberty Township EMS," Brown wrote in the suit." (These allegations) were demonstrably false, and defendants knew it."
Brown writes that Eichhorn knew the allegations were false but did not correct her "dissemination of misinformation" for at least a year.
Brown wrote that because of Eichhorn and the defendant's misinformation, Liberty Township meetings became "overfilled with angry residents" and nonresidents who were misled.
On Oct. 1, Delaware County Administrator Michael Frommer appeared before trustees and said the township could formally request a proposal from the county to assist with Liberty Township EMS, which the trustees voted to do.
"Defendants conspired, around this time, to do lifelong reputational damage to Gemperline," Brown wrote. "…To bolster their malicious claims, the defendants began taking donations to pay a legal team to file a Complaint to Remove Gemperline from office."
Brown wrote that the defendants and their legal team drafted a petition for Removal from Office and knew that the "facts presented in the petition to be meritless and untrue."
"The defendants knowingly and maliciously used assertions that were patently false and malicious to induce residents to sign the petition and donate money to their effort," Brown said.
Brown wrote that Gemperline investigated the matter and believes that some signatories were shown a false summary and were only told the petition would "save Liberty EMS" without being told what the allegations of the petition were.
"The defendants mislead potential donors and signors to their lawsuit by labeling their activities at times 'Save our Services' and 'Save Liberty Fire/EMS' implying signatories were signing to support their local EMS," Brown wrote. "They were often not clear with potential signatories that their action was to remove a trustee. In doing so, the defendants exercised malice or reckless disregard for the truth of the assertions made in their attempts to gain funding and signatures for their activities in preparing and filing the Removal Complaint."
The complaint was filed in the summer of 2019 but was voluntarily dismissed by the defendants before making it to trial.
"The defendants never intended to go forward with the lawsuit," Brown wrote. "…Defendants used the lawsuit as a means of attacking Gemperline, before and after it was dismissed."
Brown said Gemperline, a salesman by trade, has found "hatred directed at him from all corners of the township" because of the petition and "abuse of the legal process." He adds Gemperline has been stalked, photographed privately, and had his vehicle defaced. Brown states that Gemperline has suffered economic damages, emotional distress, and physical health problems as a result of the complaint.
Brown writes that Daly, Houk, Johnson, Miceli and Mount formed the committee to collect signatures and file the complaint, and Slavik and Franano were "instrumental in the illegal actions" described in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit asks that the defendants pay in excess of $25,000 in money damages, $1,218,000 in punitive damages, and demands that the defendants pay Gemperline's legal feels.
There have been no further filings in the case since summons were issued to the defendants in the case.
Delaware County Common Pleas Judge David Gormley will preside over the case.
Gemperline and Franano declinded to comment Wednesday.

I packed up my wooden field camera and drove down to Santa Clara last week to visit Dax Tran-Caffee in his studio. Dax is both musician (accordionist with the band Corpus Callosum) and puppeteer: during the 3rd annual indie arts subZERO Festival (June 4, 2010, San Jose), he and his troupe, The Museum Proper, staged a rough-and-tumble "bandersnatch" hunt involving a 12-foot-long puppet (inspired by Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky). Built by Dax, the puppet requires several people to animate it and is an impressive spectacle in motion.
When I first learned that Dax made puppets, I asked him if he'd sit for a portrait with his creations — and he agreed. I like magic — not the Harry Potter kind, not the slick Las Vegas stuff, but the kind that, from simple parts or unextraordinary means, can kindle something truly haunting, funny, tender, frightening, mischievous or endearing. Dax's work is like that.
The accordion is a Wogtlander manufactured in East Germany in the 80s. I picked it up from an accordion dealer in Oakland in 2004 or so. It's called a "button box accordion", which is an accordion specifically designed to play diatonic folk music. The sweeter sound that we all like it for is from a special musette tuning, meaning that it has two reeds for each note that are placed slightly out of tune with each other.
Dax's troupe performs regularly in Northern California and he spent part of last year on an extended solo tour through the US. If you live in the Bay Area, be sure to go see one of his shows. For a taste of magic that you can enjoy right now, watch a video of Corpus Callosum's haunting Lullaby #2.

Ulrich Beck has a very interesting and fascinating analysis on the interactions of religion and the state. As states started to embrace secularism, either for the purpose of aggressively discrediting religions (Habermas) or to clad rather the state with a mantle of neutrality to distance itself from religions (Taylor), religions on their part welcomed this move of separation of two powerful institutions. Beck argues that religions take the rift as way to free themselves from the cumbersome of political governance and the rigors of responding to scientific inquiries. The state now will take care of those concerns while religions withdraw to the cloisters of spirituality, which simply means, their cultic rituals and practices.
Religion indirectly helped in broadening the supposedly thin line that separates it from the state. It shrinks back to its own seclusion and dare not to meddle with the affairs of the state, provided the state in return will do the same none-touch policy with regard to the affairs of the church. So when this government started to sleuth every corner to look for suspected small-time drug users and pushers and eventually killed more than 20 thousand of them in the process, the church barely squeak to protest it. When the expectation of workers to end the burden of contractualization was bungled, the church did not see it as spiritual issue. When TRAIN law was finally implemented to add more burden to already suffering poor, the church is not covered by it. When "tambays" were ordered to be nabbed and shoved down in jail that cost one innocent life, still no reason for the church to raise its voice. Those are not religious concern!
Calling God stupid is another matter! That is religious, that is spiritual, and that is against the sacred. The state has crossed the line, it has encroached into religious fiefdom. They are now rising up, both the clergymen and the faithful are calling out the state. They are now up to protect, to defend, and to fight for their weak and stupid god!

Edmunds: 4 Can-Do Crossovers for Under $30,000
by Travis Langness .
Crossover SUVs are growing in popularity every year. They provide lots of interior space, an easy-to-drive demeanor and optional all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in poor road conditions. They're also available with all of the latest safety tech and infotainment systems. But which one should you get if you've got a modest budget?
We picked four SUVs — three new and one used — that you can get for less than $30,000. These are top-rated by Edmunds, boast respectable fuel economy and get high safety scores from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Each one also has a particular mix of attributes that you might find appealing.
The Honda CR-V deserves its popularity. It's comfortable and enjoyable to drive whether you're commuting to work or headed out of town on a long road trip. It's also exceptionally roomy for a small SUV. The rear seat can fit adults or bulky child safety seats with ease, and the cargo area is one of the biggest you'll find.
For a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $29,445, including destination fee, you can get the EX trim level with all-wheel drive. It offers all of the CR-V's standard equipment plus the optional 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which provides a desirable boost in power and fuel economy. Expect 29 mpg in combined driving (27 city/33 highway). The EX also comes with features such as dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a suite of advanced driver safety aids.
If you're looking for a stylish and sporty small crossover without having to buy a luxury model, the Mazda CX-5 should be right at the top of your list. The CX-5 outshines many rivals thanks to an easy-to-use infotainment screen, high-end cabin materials and stylish looks. It also steers and handles very well for its class, so it's worth a closer look for shoppers who want an engaging driving experience.
The midlevel Touring trim level with all-wheel drive ($28,490 MSRP, including destination fee) gets advanced driver safety features along with heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. Estimated fuel economy for the AWD CX-5 is a respectable 26 mpg combined (24 city/30 highway). If you want a sleek crossover that can fit five, test-drive the CX-5.
Escaping the urban jungle in a crossover SUV doesn't get much easier than in the midsize Subaru Outback. Its lifted stance helps with ground clearance on dirt trails, and integrated cross rails for the roof rack ease the process of loading bikes, kayaks and the like. But even if your adventuring is limited to going to the outlet mall, this Subaru is still satisfying.
A new Outback will likely be within your budget. Edmunds' recommended trim level is the 2.5i Premium ($29,420, including destination fee). Like all Outbacks, it comes standard with all-wheel drive. For that price, you also get equipment such as foglights, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a 7-inch touchscreen display and Subaru's suite of advanced safety features. The Outback also has impressive fuel economy for its size, checking in with an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined (25 city/32 highway).
Bigger three-row crossover SUVs typically exceed a $30,000 budget, but there are plenty of used choices. Our pick here is the Ford Explorer. An available turbocharged four-cylinder engine is the fuel miser of the Explorer's lineup, providing 21 mpg combined (18 city/26 highway). To make the most of the Explorer, though, look for a Sport or Platinum trim level. Both come with a 365-horsepower turbocharged V6 that provides brisk acceleration and plenty of pulling power for towing.
Even if you don't get the Sport or Platinum, there's a lot to like. Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use, and available power-adjustable pedals, dual-zone automatic climate control and power-folding third-row seats add to the family-friendly credentials.
EDMUNDS SAYS: Several top-notch family-size crossovers are available for less than $30,000. Shop wisely to get the best mix of interior space and high-tech features for a reasonable price.

Technology|In Whole Foods, Bezos Gets a Sustainably Sourced Guinea Pig

In Whole Foods, Bezos Gets a Sustainably Sourced Guinea Pig
By purchasing the upscale chain, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief, has a chance to tinker with how people buy groceries — and map the future of the physical store.
By Farhad Manjoo
When big tech companies make big moves, it's natural to see the news in earthshaking terms.
So it was no surprise that Amazon's deal to buy Whole Foods for $13.4 billion generated many fantastical predictions: For instance, Amazon could use every Whole Foods store as a distribution center or even a drone-delivery launchpad, with every order summoned by Alexa, the company's voice assistant, creating a kind of "frictionless" retail experience that would hasten its plan to — what else? — take over the world.
Sure, all of this seems plausible at some point in the future. In particular, an Amazon presence in groceries might transform it from a company you shop at every once in a while to one you think about several times a week. This is not a novel idea: It was the key reason Walmart got into the grocery business in the 1980s, a move that accelerated its shift from a regional chain into the world's largest physical retailer.
Yet if there's one thing I've learned about Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and chief executive, after years of watching Amazon, it's that he doesn't spend a lot of time predicting future possibilities. He is instead consumed with improving the present reality on the ground, especially as seen through a customer's eyes. The other thing to know about Mr. Bezos is that he is a committed experimentalist. His main way of deciding what Amazon should do next is to try stuff out, see what works, and do more of that.
So the best way to think of this deal is to look at Whole Foods as a kind of guinea pig for Amazon — a pricey, organically sourced one, perhaps, but a guinea pig all the same.
Amazon almost certainly doesn't know yet how exactly Whole Foods will fit into its long-term plans. You can expect it to make few dramatic changes to Whole Foods in the near future. Instead, Mr. Bezos and his team will most likely spend years meticulously analyzing and tinkering with how Whole Foods works. They will begin lots of experiments. When something works, they will do more of that, then more, and then even more. They may take over the world all the same — and, in the process, probably usher in big changes to large swaths of the economy, affecting everything from labor to urban planning — but they'll do it in ways we won't be able to predict now.
"I think they look at this as an opportunity to learn," said Venky Harinarayan, an early Amazon executive who later worked at Walmart, and who also ran a venture capital firm in which Mr. Bezos was a big investor. "It's an experiment for everyone — I don't know if anyone has figured out yet how to use a store to service online customers at massive scale. That's the experimental piece."
In this light, I suspect that the Whole Foods deal starts less with a strategic end-goal and more with this insight: Shopping for food is broken. Both the in-store experience and the many attempts at online delivery — from Webvan to Instacart to Amazon's own service, Amazon Fresh — have failed to create the sort of seamless buying experience we enjoy with nonfood e-commerce.
Amazon Is Trying to Do (and Sell) Everything
The company's $13.4 billion deal for Whole Foods is the latest signal of Amazon's ambitions to have a hold on nearly every facet our lives — like the computer servers that power our favorite websites and the food we eat.
Shopping for food is time-consuming — about 16 percent of Americans spend nearly an hour shopping for food every weekend, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Grocers have also been relatively untouched by the many customer service features we've come to associate with online shopping — for instance, customer reviews and recommendations.
Supermarkets are also pretty labor-intensive. Consider checking out: You have to put all your stuff in a cart, and then someone else takes everything out to scan it, and then everything has to be carefully bagged for the trip home. And then someone else comes along to collect the carts. On top of all this, the margins are low and there is a shameful amount of waste — about 10 percent of the American food supply is wasted at the retail level, according to the Department of Agriculture.
But online grocery delivery also isn't so great. Delivery services tend to be far more expensive than in-store shopping, and it's still not quite painless: You have to order ahead of time, you often have to deal with last-minute substitutions, and the whole process is still quite labor-intensive and wasteful. (Ask me about the many pounds of ice-filled plastic bags I have to dispose of every time I shop at Amazon Fresh.)
And it's not just food. In a larger sense, all physical retail needs reimagining. Competition from online commerce has gutted malls and department stores, but no one in retail believes that all physical stores are going away. Lots of shoppers like stores, and lots of merchandise categories benefit from a physical presence: You want to try out the clothes you buy, or you want to compare the iPad's keyboard to Microsoft Surface's. So there's an opportunity for someone to figure out the future of the physical store — what it should sell, what it might look like, how it would integrate with online shopping and how it might become far friendlier than it is today.
In a single purchase, then, Whole Foods gives Amazon a playground to try out lots of ideas. Should stores be laid out more like warehouses, to optimize for online delivery? Could you make grocery checkout lines invisible, the way Amazon is trying to do with its experimental grab-and-walk-out convenience store in Seattle? Or maybe there's some other innovation lurking in the deal that no one has thought of yet.
But wait a second, isn't $13.4 billion a lot for an experiment? Amazon didn't respond to a request for comment.
"No doubt it's a big deal; it's a large amount of money," Mr. Harinarayan said. But he also noted that Amazon is flying high.
Like most other members of my Frightful Five collection of indomitable tech giants — Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Alphabet, Google's parent company — Amazon has experienced a huge growth in its stock market value over the past couple years. The Whole Foods deal represents less than 3 percent of its $470 billion market cap: not just a guinea pig, but a cheap one, too.

Olympics update: Beijing in, Boston out (Part One)
We learned Friday that Beijing will host the 2022 Winter Olympics, and that Boston withdrew from the 2024 race. From a corruption standpoint, there's a lot going on here.
China's selection completes a fascinating ten-year stretch: 2014 (Russia), 2016 (Brazil), 2018 (South Korea), 2020 (Japan), 2022 (China).
Notice two trends here.
First, the BRIC nations have arrived on the scene: within ten years, three of the four will host Olympic Games. (The outlier, India, suffers from serious collective action problems that may doom its candidacy in the foreseeable future).
Second, notice the focus on Asia, which claims four of these five hosts. (Japan is the only host country in this stretch that is not a developing country; but it is a conspicuous under-enforcer of its obligations under the OECD Convention Against Corruption).
Notice also that the only two finalists for 2022 — Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan — are authoritarian regimes. Oslo and Stockholm withdrew from that race, and Boston has just followed their lead. Generally, the more democratic (and less corrupt) nations are disinterested in large measure due to fears of incurring public debt.
Where politically unaccountable governments with relatively high levels of corruption are tending to seek the Olympics, in the face of reliable economic data forecasting economic losses, a thorny and rather unpalatable question arises: could the decision to bid for an Olympic Games be inherently corrupt?
Let's first define corruption as the abuse of public office for private gain. Then let's define gain as the original political scientists did, to include both financial and "status" gain. Some political leaders may anticipate personal financial gain here, but I'm going to suggest it's a minority. However, any government official seeking to host the Games anticipates status gains.
But is the status associated with hosting with hosting these almost-certainly-unprofitable Games itself corrupt? That is, does it constitute personal glory-seeking at the expense of the people?
I don't think so, and I'll explain why in the next post.

I would say the decision to bid for Olympic Games is not inherently corrupt, but it is highly susceptible to corruption.
That is because the Olympic Games allow many layers of intransparency to veil the actual interests at hand (mostly being allowed to channel public money into private coffers) and gloss them over with public enthusiasm. (Just like FIFA … or Blackwater …)
I'm looking forward to your next post – in particular why you think it's not so much financial gain that's at hand …


Speech therapy is so important for little ones who need a little extra help learning how to make the right sounds for different letters and blends.
But that doesn't mean it can't also be fun. Of course, as we know, kids tend to learn better when there's an element of play, which is why I love this list of crafts to use for speech therapy from Fireflies and Mudpies.
She has ideas for simple crafts and how to use them when working on particular speech issues.


I assume it's a cable with USB tip on one end and multiple tips on the second end?
If yes, those will usually allow you to charge at best. Sometimes not even, if they are really poor quality.
I advise you to use a dedicated known good cable (original or at least a good quality copy) if you want to sync your phone. Also make sure you have the latest iOS on your iPhone and the latest iTunes on your computer.
Other things could be causing this, but the above are the most obvious/easy/straightforward that you can start with.

Netherlands, where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism
The Netherlands, where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism: The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands.
A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads:
"The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.
The letter continues:
"A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands. ..
The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants.
For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.
The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner;
"It is not the government's job to integrate immigrants."
The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress.
More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering, Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013.
Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realised – maybe too late – that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself.
READERS NOTE:
Muslim immigrants leave their countries of birth because of civil and political unrest "CREATED BY THE VERY NATURE OF THEIR CULTURE."
Countries like Holland and Australia have an established way of life that actually works, so why embrace the unworkable?
If Muslims do not wish to accept another culture, the answer is simple;
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!"
This gives a whole new meaning to the term; 'Dutch Courage'
Unfortunately, the USA and other countries politicians don't have the courage (YET) to do the same.
There's a whole lot of truth here!!!!
I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!
Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.

Huawei Technologies is a global telecommunications equipment manufacturer and services company based in China. They are currently the largest manufacturer of telecommunication equipment in the world, with offices in 21 countries.
We were contacted by a member of staff at Huawei who was manager of the company's sailing team. He planned to present two display models of the Farr Racing Yacht to the chairman to show his appreciation for the chairman supporting the initiative and the team. The team had recently entered into Sailing Arabia, the Tour event around the Arabian Gulf. The real ships they sailed in had been branded in the colours of the team's sponsors and the member of staff who contacted us wanted the models to look the same way.
As the models were to be presented to a company chairman to mark a special event we needed to ensure they were of the highest quality and delivered on schedule. We used plans and pictures of the real ships to build the models with a skeleton hull and plank on frame construction. The models were finished with fiber glass and paint.
The models were completed to spec and delivered safely to Kuwait where they were presented to the Vice Chairman.
" Many thanks indeed for the models. They were well received ".


12 String There are 2 products.
For years, Taylor's sleek, ultra-playable necks have helped define a great 12-string experience. The 12-string Dreadnought 150e fits that signature playability and tonal clarity into an affordable package, making a quality 12-string more accessible to budget-minded players looking to broaden their musical palette.
Taylor's Grand Concert 12-strings reaffirm Taylor's heritage of easy-playing double course instruments thanks to a lap-friendly body size, a 12-fret neck, and a 24-7/8-inch scale length. The slinky handfeel makes fretting and bending strings easier, the neck and body are comfortably balanced, and the compact body produces a clear 12-string voice.


Throughout last year, I came across several articles that referenced the spate of pro-life films flooding cinemas. From Juno to Knocked Up to Waitress, pro-lifers were finding some unwitting partners in a variety of cinematic genres. One of these films, Bella, ran for quite some time in cinemas across the country. I heard and read mixed reviews, none of the negatives would stand in the way of a free Redbox Wednesday rental (I don't know what happened to Monday). I really wanted to like this film, but, unfortunately, the dialogue surrounding the creation and distribution of the film was more compelling than the film itself.
Directed by Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, Bella tells the story of a promising young soccer player, Jose (Eduardo Verastegui), whose life changes in the blink of an eye. Having been involved in a fatal accident, he is sent to prison for four years. The film opens after his release, and we learn about the events that surrounded his imprisonment through a series of flashbacks.
Jose never plays soccer agin and becomes a chef in his brother Manny's (Manny Perez) rather oppressive kitchen. A three-strikes-and-you're-out boss, Manny fires one of his waitresses, Nina (Tammy Blanchard), without bothering to ask why she has been late to work. Nina is pregnant. Jose abandons the kitchen and pursues Nina in an effort to console her. He learns that not only is she pregnant, but that she will seek an abortion. Jose spends the rest of the day and night with Nina walking around New York City, visiting his parents in the suburbs, and going to the beach. This day, or rather Jose, changes Nina's life forever.
I will not say much more about the plot because I do not want to ruin the frustrating experience of having to endure narrative fits and starts and gaping plot holes. It is unfortunate that the film's stunning visuals service such a troublesome script. We have some decent acting here, although the bit players often outshine their leading counterparts.
Bella, of course, has a theological and spiritual message…it damn well better with a production company named Metanoia Films. However, the dialogue surrounding the film is certainly just as spiritual and interesting as the film itself. Director Monteverde joined with actor Verastegui and executives Sean and Eustace Wolfington and Leo Severino to form the aforementioned Metanoia Films. Thus far, Bella is the production company's only film. I find it interesting that they chose this name for their production company which is often translated from Greek to mean "repentance" or "changing one's mind," depending on the context.
Indeed, Monteverde et al do want to change people's minds. In the behind-the-scenes and distribution footage on the DVD, everyone involved with the film speaks about making an uplifting film, one that would "light a candle in the hearts of audiences." They found in Bella a story that would do just that. On another level, one might view the film as an anti-abortion or pro-life film with the metanoia surrounding this controversial social issue.
Surprisingly, critics as diverse as Jonathan Rosenbaum and Roger Ebert praised the film. Ebert argues that the films is not an anti-abortion or pro-life film. At least on this issue we agree. To be so, it should focus much more on Nina, her background, and struggles. Instead, like all characters, she exists in service of Jose, the Jesus-come-lately big screen sensation. Since Jose's accident, he has ceased shaving and tending to his hair. The result directly places him in the lineage of Western cinematic representations of Jesus. In the film, at least, Verastegui could easily be mistaken for Jim Caviezel. Ironically enough, one of Bella's producers also produced The Passion of the Christ.
At the end of the day, Bella is not a divisive film, thank goodness, but it's not really a good film either. Praising Jose's greatness, while not necessarily undeserved, through Nina's unfortunate situation is troublesome at best and oppressive at worst.
Bella (91 minutes) is available on DVD and is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and brief disturbing images.

"This is my second time using Raya and Heidel, the first was 2003 when they transformed the two story entry of my then house.
In my new house the project was dining room ceiling and master bath wall.
We used an inspiration photo I already had for the master bath wall. For the dining room ceiling I chose a design suggestion they presented to me. I love the way it fills the space and enhances the style of my house.

Q: Database logic for user achievments I have a table in my database that stores users, for example:
userID | userName | email | password | wins | losses | exp

Now I want the user to be able to get achievments in my game, like "win 5 games in a row", and I obviously want that progress in the database (Google app-engine) so progress is not lost when user exits client. Example of achievment table:
achievmentID | achievmentTitle | description | reward

Now how would I go about saving achievment progress for each user in the best manner? I need to save both progress (like 3/5 games in a row won) and if achievment is completed or not.
The product is for Android/iOS and uses google app engine (datastore) as database.

A: The way you set up your table would not be very efficient. In my mind to be the most efficient, you would have to make a new column on your users table (not new table, but after the 'exp') and create a sort of key for achievements. For example, you could give each achievement an ID (which you would keep track of like in a notes on notepad or something).
Then, when they get that achievement, you would put "123/" and if you did another achievement, it would say something like "123/461/".
Then you could make a script that breaks apart these IDs to see what achievements have been completed.

The model Kyoto Eco-Action Points program started in October 2008. As part of this project, Kyoto Carbon Dioxide Reduction Bank (committee for environmentally friendly activities in Kyoto) issues Eco-Action Points based on the amount of CO2 reduced in the central elements of domestic energy consumption, such as the use of electricity and gas. These points can be used as shopping credits at participating stores. This is the first such system in Japan, and it aims to drastically reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the domestic sector.
The past few years, Japan has embarked on a nostalgic trip back to the Showa Era (1926-1989). People conveniently forget the terrors and destruction of war, debilitating poverty, discrimination of minorities and the high crime rates of this period, and instead focus on an imagined utopia. Most of the nostalgia has expressed itself in books and movies, but toys are increasingly traveling back in time as well.
Will Japanese Men Start Giving Chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Since the custom of giving chocolate on Valentine's Day was first promoted in Japan in the 1960s, it has always been the women who have been doing the giving. Usually to men they are clearly not in love with, like a boss or a male colleague. Men get their chance to return the favor on the later invented White Day, held on March 14th. Now confectionery giant Morinaga believes that men are ready to initiate the gift exchange.

Curable or Incurable?
(an introduction by Kirby Ferris)
There is a way to test the sanity of your family, friends, and neighbors. You simply observe their reaction to this essay written by Marko Kloos (pronounced "close").
If they "get it", they are "curable", or were mentally healthy in the first place. They may deserve the freedom that has been delivered to them on the blood of our forefathers.
A while back I sent this essay to eight friends. Two of them actually mocked the essay. Sadly, those two people are "incurable". Their common sense, their very self respect as human beings, has been bred out of them by our perverse, victim factory culture. (I've dropped them both from my life.)
Are you "curable", or "incurable". See whether you agree or disagree with Marko's essay.
(This essay first appeared in print in the Dillon Blue Press in 2007. Ted Nugent later mis-attributed the essay in his book "Ted, White and Blue". Ted made right with Marko, and the paperback version of Ted's book gives credit where credit is due.)
Why the Gun is Civilization.
By Marko Kloos
Reproduced by permission of the author.
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weightlifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation … and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

Rose looking to repeat late-season surge in China
The calendar year may be winding down, but Justin Rose is hoping to heat up.
Ranked No. 1 as recently as April, Rose enters this week's WGC-HSBC Champions at No. 8 in the world. That's his lowest standing in two years, when Rose pulled off a double-dip by winning in Shanghai and capturing the Turkish Airlines Open in consecutive weeks. He followed with a T-4 finish in Dubai to nearly take the European Tour's season-long prize, and the Englishman is looking to spark a similar rally this week as he returns to Sheshan International Golf Club.
"To be honest, I've probably got to win the last three [European Tour events] to challenge Shane [Lowry] and Jon Rahm and the guys that are doing really well, but that's the situation I put myself in in 2017 and I very nearly did it," Rose told reporters. "Looking forward to going back to the well and trying again."
WGC-HSBC Champions: Full-field tee times | Full coverage
Rose won earlier this year at Torrey Pines and tied for third at the U.S. Open, but he slowed during the PGA Tour's postseason and ultimately tied for 26th at the Tour Championship. With this week's event in a unique position of winding down the European Tour slate while starting Rose's 2019-20 season on the PGA Tour, he feels some added incentive to continue success on a course where last year he finished third as the defending champion.
"You've got to trust your game and you've got to trust the fact that you're going to play well in tournaments that are on your schedule and put yourself eventually in a position come August to be competing well in the FedExCup," Rose said. "When you're a couple thousand points behind someone and it's January, it always feels like a little bit of an uphill battle."

Esther Grether (nee Kast, born ) is a Swiss art collector and businesswoman. In February 2023, Forbes estimated her and her net worth at US$1.5 billion.

Early life
Esther Grether was born Esther Kast around 1936.

Business
She inherited a beauty and health care products company from her late husband Hans Grether in 1975 that she continues to run with her daughters. She has been chair of the board of the Basel-based Doetsch Grether Group for more than thirty years. She has served on the Swatch Group's Board of Directors from 1986 until 2014.

In 2013 Forbes magazine estimated her and her family's net worth at US$1.5 billion.

Art collection
Grether possesses one of the most valuable collections of 20th-century art in the world. Her collection reportedly includes more than 600 pieces and includes works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Salvador Dalí, Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti. The collection is kept in a converted printing factory which is also her home. Grether owns Bacon's Triptych, May–June 1973 (one of Bacon's three "Black Triptychs") which she purchased at auction in 1989 for $6.3 million, a record price for a Bacon painting at that time. She is also believed to own three other Bacon triptychs from the 1970s.

In December 1962, it was thanks to a bank guarantee provided by Hans Grether, secured on Doetsch Grether shares, that the Basel art dealer Ernst Beyeler was able to buy the American collector G. David Thompson's entire collection of 70 Giacometti works.

Walk on water: Video captures skaters ice-dancing on world's largest lake
© Ruptly
Skaters have captured video footage of their daring dance on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal - and the world's deepest lake is so perfectly clear you can see stones lining its floor near the shore.
The enormous lake in Siberia contains more water than all of the North American Great Lakes combined. It also holds a whopping 23 percent of the all the fresh surface water in the world.

Formed as an ancient rift valley and with an age of around 25-30 million years, the lake is considered the oldest in the world.
The water in the ancient lake is also considered among the world's clearest. That stunning transparency is captured in the fascinating footage which shows the skaters gracefully gliding along as if dancing on perfectly still water.
The incredible water clarity is emphasised when the lens spots smooth stones and pebbles under foot, resting on the lake's floor.
The footage shows someone gingerly walking on the surface of the vast lake, but our cameraperson skates over large cracks in the lake, seemingly unperturbed by any threat that the ice may give way.
The lake was declared a world heritage site in 1996. The region around it is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, many of which exist nowhere else in the world.

Iron Butt Rally Champion Wendy Crockett Receives 2020 Bessie Stringfield Award
Longtime endurance motorcyclist humbled by prestigious honor
By Janis Perfetto, Contributor
Categories: Way To Go, Girl!, Women To Watch, WRN In The News / May 13, 2020 August 13, 2021
Wendy Crockett, a lifetime motorcyclist with miles all over the globe, is this years recipient of the AMA's prestigious Bessie Stringfield award.
Wendy Crockett, of Rapid City, South Dakota, is the recipient of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Board of Directors 2020 AMA Bessie Stringfield Award. This is the same recognition given to our founder, Genevieve Schmitt, in 2019 for her endeavors in shining the spotlight on women and motorcycling.
This prestigious award memorializes the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Bessie Stringfield's accomplishments and recognizes the recipients efforts to introduce motorcycling to new or underserved markets. It is one of three awards honoring outstanding contributions in motorcycling and acknowledges support of the AMA's mission to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of the sport.
Wendy Crockett, a worldwide motorcycle ambassador and factory-trained technician, is a longtime AMA member who specializes in long distance and endurance riding. She is part of the AMA LongRider program, the Iron Butt Association, and the Motorcycle Endurance Rider Association. Crockett has traveled extensively on two wheels logging thousands of miles that includes rides from Mexico to Newfoundland and Key West to the Arctic Circle.
Crockett became the first woman to win the Iron Butt Rally when she rode to the finish in 2019. She rode this 2005 Yamaha FJR 1300 13,000 miles in 11 days.
Crocket says, "I am deeply humbled and honored to be included among some of the most influential motorcyclists of the past decade, not to mention the iconic trailblazer Bessie Stringfield herself. I am extremely lucky to be in a position to share my passion with a broad spectrum of riders and future riders, and I hope to continue inspiring people to get out and enjoy life on two wheels."
Because of her endeavors in putting the spotlight on women and motorcycling, the AMA Board of Directors chose WRN founder Genevieve Schmitt as the 2019 award recipient.
Schmitt recalls how receiving the 2019 Bessie Stringfield award impacted her. "My top motorcycle related moment from 2019 was receiving the Bessie Stringfield Award from the American Motorcyclist Association. It was a highlight of my 30-year journalism career, most of which was serving the female motorcycle community through the website I founded, WomenRidersNow.com."
AMA Board Chair Russ Ehnes indicated that it is the opportunity and privilege of the AMA Board members to recognize those who have contributed to motorcycling that helps to promote, improve, and protect the sport we love. While some award recipients are well known, others work diligently out of the spotlight, but each contribute to introducing others to motorcycling in ways that improve their lives. He said, "Recognizing these motorcycling heroes is the highlight of our year as Board members."

A: A lot of context is missing from your question and code examples, so it's hard to give a definite answer. Where is the exception thrown in the code example? There's no CreateNodes() method, so we can't find out why it's failing (Out Of Memory Error due to a transaction too large?).
However, there's an issue with your transaction management in the CreateIndexes1() method (not following the Java naming conventions, by the way):
try (Transaction tx = db.beginTx()) {
    // ...
    while (/* ... */) {
        // ...
        tx.success();
        tx.close();
    }
}

You're closing the transaction multiple times, when it's actually in a try-with-resources block where you don't need to close it yourself at all:
try (Transaction tx = db.beginTx()) {
    // ...
    while (/* ... */) {
        // ...
    }
    tx.success();
}

I guess json2neo4j is the deserialization of a JSON describing the indices to create on labels. The logic is flawed: you try to create an index for a property as soon as you find an index for another property, when you should find out if an index for the current property exists and only create the index if it's missing then.
for (Indx indx : json2neo4j.getIndexes()) {
    Label lbl = Label.label(indx.getLabelname());

    boolean indexExists = false;
    for (IndexDefinition index : db.schema().getIndexes(lbl)) {
        for (String property : index.getPropertyKeys()) {
            if (property.equals(indx.getColName())) {
                indexExists = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (indexExists) {
            break;
        }
    }

    if (!indexExists) {
        db.schema().indexFor(lbl).on(indx.getColName());
    }
}
