Q: Retrieving a slice from a multiindexed DataFrame I have a Pandas DataFrame with MultiIndex such as follow:

I am trying to retrieve few rows using a IndexSlice:
idx=pd.IndexSlice
prices.loc[idx[["2016-09-19 13:30:00":"2016-09-19 14:30:00"],"Chinese Renminbioffshore"],:]

But i receive error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

According to the documentation (scroll to in:72), I should be able to do that.
Anyone has a suggestion?
Here the data to recreate the dataframe:
EDIT: it seems that i cannot post the data to recreate this dataframe as it makes the proportion of the question looking like code is too great for SO... Hopefully this problem is still resolvable.
EDIT2: Maybe posting it like so would be helpful?

Home A Giant Leap For Public-Private Partnerships: What The Latest Private Mission To Space Says About The Future Of Science
A Giant Leap For Public-Private Partnerships: What The Latest Private Mission To Space Says About The Future Of Science
Mom drops 6-month-old son from balcony of second-floor apartment leaving him critically injured
Axiom Space and SpaceX's launch is one a series of millstones in the private sector's space … [+] exploration.
Earlier this week, the world's first all-private astronaut crew to visit the International Space Station returned to earth having successfully completed their mission.
This is the latest in a series of recent milestones involving the private sector and space exploration, with spaceflight company Axiom Space launching aboard a SpaceX Dragon 9 capsule.
Or, as the more cynical among us might point out, the latest example of the extreme exploits of the super-wealthy as they play at space tourists.
But leaving aside the debate about billionaires and their exploits that this story highlights, there is an interesting lesson here about the future of scientific discovery.
Science can be an expensive business. And, as I've noted many times before, not the most appealing investment opportunity for anyone looking to make a quick buck. Returns can be years in the making – and aren't always a certainty when what you're backing can often be little more than a promising idea.
This is why the role of the state has always been so critical to discovery. No private company in the 1960s would have bankrolled the space race.
Beyond putting humans on the moon, state-sponsored science has unlocked some of the modern world's greatest innovations. The US's DARPA helped develop the internet and GPS – and the UK is now looking to replicate the model's success with its ARIA initiative.
Today, we also have CERN – the world's largest particle physics laboratory – and the EU's Horizon Europe, a 95.5bn EUR research and innovation budget that the UK is hopefully still going to be a part of. Both initiatives receive significant state-backing.
The trouble is that governments like the UK's, having called time on austerity shortly before the pandemic, now find themselves needing to mend public finances once again. Its largesse cannot be counted on alone.
Private capital is now dominating the space industry, and not just in so-called space tourism. SpaceX is now regularly shuttling NASA astronauts to and from the ISS. Being able to serve both state and private clients makes business models for companies like SpaceX viable.
What drove the space race from the 1960s was geopolitics, a desire that has cooled since the fall of the Soviet Union. But while the US government's appetite might have waned, the opportunities for discovery haven't stopped. Working with private sector partners has kept space exploration alive.
The trick, it would seem, is to align the demands of the free market with the long-term scientific endeavours typically supported by governments. But what about areas that lack the same romantic appeal that space has to our billionaires?
Innovative new public-funding models are one route. In November, I wrote about the dangers of a hidden pandemic being fuelled by rising antibiotic resistance. There is little commercial opportunity for pharma companies in developing novel drugs in this area.
In the UK, an exciting new idea has emerged to create a Netflix-style subscription model, in which the NHS will pay drug companies an annual fee no matter how many doses are prescribed. This will provide the upfront funding needed to stimulate new R&D.
This is a world-first and a genuine breakthrough in the fight against antibiotic resistance. By paying according to the value of what the drugs deliver to the health service rather than on a transactional per use basis, the equation has been flipped and a major barrier removed.
Philanthropy is another route. Consider the amazing work that's been done in AIDS treatment and malaria vaccines thanks to grant funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (perhaps billionaires aren't all that bad?).
Finding more ways to connect public and private capital will help science to deliver more solutions to humanity's most demanding and time and resource intensive challenges.

The consortium of major broadcasters pushing digital radio are wasting no time deploying what they believe to be its "killer app," multicasting – the ability to split a single radio channel into multiple program streams. Earlier this month they announced the rollout of digital multicast signals in several dozen markets. The broadcasts introduce industry-coordinated secondary program channels featuring formats like "Classical Alternative," "Coffee House," "Female Talk," and "Extreme Hip-Hop," and some miscellaneous strangeness. For now, these channels will be offered without commercials.
I've been invited to the NYC Grassroots Media Conference, going down February 11 at New School University. This is the third NYC GMC, which is a project of the Paper Tiger-sponsored NYC Grassroots Media Coalition.
I believe I'll be giving a workshop on microradio operations, similar to the one that went down at the Allied Media Conference last year. Lots of show-and-tell with emphasis on practical, tactical applications, tailored to this particular conference's goals. Hundreds of others will be similarly sharing knowledge, which should make for much fun. I haven't been to New York in more than a decade.
Ah, the exquisite irony of indecency fine-money levied against the "old" Howard Stern radio program paying the wages of FCC field agents as they investigate acts of unlicensed broadcasting involving relays of Stern's "new" show. Sirius has indeed petitioned the FCC to investigate the pirate rebroadcasters. The complaint reportedly only references the stations in New York and New Jersey, however, not those in the Midwest.
Patrick Reilly, Sirius flack, says: "Given the quality of Howard's show, listening to it on a pirate radio is no way to listen to it." I'd say the format fits the forum just fine, and I'm kind of surprised Stern's not at least leaving the underdog alone here. I guess $500 million will do that to you.
Listener reports from Minneapolis/St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota suggest microradio stations there are simulcasting Howard Stern's new radio show on the Sirius satellite network. Last week unlicensed outlets in New York and New Jersey broadcast highlights from Stern's first week on Sirius.
This week Howard Stern's empire evolved to a new level when he debuted his new program on the Sirius satellite radio network. Howard's departure from the realm of terrestrial broadcasting caused much consternation. Fear not, for pirate radio is keeping Stern alive on the airwaves: the New York Daily News reports that two pirate stations aired uncensored segments of "Howard 100" on FM frequencies in Brooklyn, New York and the Newark/Secaucus, New Jersey area.


If you're looking for a hearty meal in the form of juicy burgers, fries and more-ish bar snacks then Belushi's will sort you right out. Serving up the best burgers in the city, this sports bar and student favourite will refuel you after a tiring day of sightseeing (and will leave you craving more whether it's onion rings, nachos, wings or chicken tenders).
Belushi's is right in the heart of the city, within a short walk of pretty much all of the main sites from the Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey, the Jane Austen Centre and the Roman Baths - so it's perfectly situated for when your hunger hits. The reason the burgers are so damn good? They're handmade daily, using 100% Red Tractor assured Scottish Beef, the secret to their fresh taste. And if you need a place to party or pre-drink before hitting the town, Belushi's bar offers cheap jagerbombs, happy hour, beer pong, live DJs and a club atmosphere at night.
Every vegan knows that it's tricky trying to find vegan options in a new city. Well, we've scoped out your go-to veggie spot so you don't have to. The Green Rocket is one of Bath's best vegan cafes. The Green Rocket's award-winning menu is filled with healthy options with a twist, using organic ingredients. Enjoy dishes such as sweetcorn fritters, superfood salads, tofu stir frys, courgette bolognese and even coconut cashew curry. Non-veggies love it too because the food is just that good.
Think fresh, vibrant food and healthy juices that make for a perfect hangover cure. The healthy, hearty breakfasts here are also worth trying. The interior is cute and quaint, with a friendly atmosphere.
This is one for the foodies. To get a taste of authentic Nepalese street food, head to Yak Yeti Yak, a family-run restaurant in the centre of Bath. On the menu you'll find traditional dishes from delicious chutneys, momos (Nepalese dumplings) daal, spicy fish and meaty curries - it's like taking a journey through Nepal on your plate.
Just a stone's throw away from Bath Abbey, you'll find the cosy Garricks Head. Here you will find all the British classics: Fish N' Chips, Pie of the Day, steaks, a selection of sandwiches and soup! Or pop in for Sunday lunch and indulge in a roast dinner. Comfort food at its finest, and at a decent price. Not to mention its vast selection of beer and ales. In the summer, it has a lovely outdoor area where you can sit and enjoy your meal with an ale or glass of wine.
One of our favourite gastro-pubs in Bath. For a traditional, heart-warming British lunch head to King William Pub, located just a 13 minute walk from the hostel. Offering a modern, high-quality British menu this restaurant serves pub grub with a sophisticated twist. We recommend heading here for lunch, where you can get two courses for £15 that will be totally worth it. Fancy the classic ham, egg and chips, or maybe the confit pork belly? Dinner service gets a lot pricier so we would say lunch is definitely more value for money.
It's a local favourite, so be sure to book in advance rather than walk in. Food is sourced locally, too.
Pizza lovers will not be disappointed at The Real Italian Pizza Co, a family-run Italian restaurant right next to the Roman Baths. This joint makes its pizza the proper Italian way (thin with crispy crusts), so it's no wonder they are award-winning. Serving up traditional wood-fired pizzas in a light, cosy relaxed environment this is the perfect stop to treat yourself to a delicious meal. There is a vast pizza menu to choose from, so you're sure to find your favourite toppings. The lasagne here is also divine.
When in England, you can't miss out on a classic afternoon tea experience. Did you know the Queen enjoys afternoon tea once a day, every day? We added afternoon tea in this list because you can definitely substitute lunch for afternoon tea - it's very filling. In Bath, there are several options to get good quality scones, sandwiches and teas - we recommend The Regency Tea Rooms inside the Jane Austen Centre for top-notch English scones and a choice of 15 loose-leaf teas (or champagne if you'd rather have a boozy afternoon).
Totally Instagrammable spread, too. If you're a literature lover (and Jane Austen fan) we recommend visiting the Jane Austen Centre anyway, where the tour finishes in the Regency Tea Rooms (or you can go to the Tea Rooms without doing the tour if you'd prefer).

Alma was a game that I published in January 2017 on the marketplace Steam Everything in Alma, except for the music, was made by me. In Alma, the player guides the dead soul "Alma" through the eight levels of the Aztec underworld so she can reach the god and goddess of death and "pass on". Alma follows the Aztec myth of the underworld, each level in Alma correlates with a level in the Aztec underworld and the challenge that soul faces there. For example in the first level of the Aztec underworld the soul must cross a rushing river. So in the first level of Alma the player must cross a river by jumping from platform to platform and avoid falling in. The final level is a cut-scene showing Alma reaching the throne of the god and goddess of death. View Alma at the link bellow.
Alma on Steam
I made Alma as a way to share my fascination with Mexican folklore, a topic that I have always been interested in. The art style was inspired by Mexican folkart and uses bright colors and geometric patterns. All of the art assets were painted by me in Photoshop, and the game itself was built in Unity. It was programmed in C#. If you want to view all of the scripts that I used on Alma you can check them out on github at the link. In terms of game play Alma is a 2D platformer that take inspiration from early 2D platformers. Making Alma taught me a lot about the complete process of making and publishing a game from start to finish, from design to programming to marketing.

Turn to the Talmud for instructions on anti-racism – Forward
Yesterday I was invited to a webinar called How to make sure you are not raising the next Amy Cooper. It is one of countless calls in the past few days about how to not be or not raise a racist. These lessons are essential. White America is just now beginning to learn how to be anti-racist.
For many years I resisted the language of anti-racist. Why define myself in the negative? I dont want to think of myself as anti anything. I want to be pro-peace, pro-equality, pro-love. But in the past decade, I have come to understand that considering myself anti-racist is actually the only option. Racism is too pervasive; slavery built this country and racism is woven into the very foundations. The only way for a white woman like me to resist is to actively swim upstream, and to swim hard.
But what does it look like to resist something as pervasive as racism in the United States? One model for such resistance can be found in the Talmud. Our tradition offers us a full tractate of Talmud called Avodah Zara, (literally strange worship), and the entire book is a guide to living as a Jew in a world surrounded by idolatry. The rabbis understood that living in a society permeated by a toxic ideology requires us to actively and frequently negate the culture. Living as a committed Jew is not enough. We have to be anti-idol.
The requirement to reject the surrounding ideology can be applied to racism too. If we swap out idolatry for racism, the entire tractate can be read as a guide to living an anti-racist life. How should we behave when the bathhouse has a statue of Aphrodite? The answer to that question can help us assess how to enter a building that has been named after a slave owner. Should we destroy an idol by smashing it, or do we keep it whole so that we can point to it and verbally nullify its power? This question can help us assess what to do with confederate monuments built to valorize slave ownership. Idolatry was as pervasive then as racism is today. Can we show our rejection of racism without totally removing ourselves from society? The Talmud reflects on this struggle and teaches us that if we dont actively demonstrate our objection through our behavior, we uphold the status quo.
Lets unpack one example: The Talmud offers the following scenario in which a person must first acknowledge the ways that their personal property has been directly supported by idolatry literally sharing a wall and then find a way to disconnect from it: One whose house was adjacent to [a house of] idol worship and [the dividing wall] fell, it is prohibited to rebuild it. What should he do? Withdraw into his own property four cubits and build there. Metaphorically, the image is powerful: how many of our homes today share a supporting wall with a structure of racism? It is incredibly hard to dismantle the house of racism because racism is actually propping up the walls of our homes.
This underlying racism exists in even the most banal ways. Purchasing my apartment was fairly simple. I was easily able to secure a bank loan, and the co-op board approved my application quickly. That is often not the case for Black families.
Of course, my whiteness led to so many of the opportunities in my life: the schools I attended, the jobs that were available to me, and even the way I am treated in public have all been dictated by my race. The same racial discrimination that blocks Black Americans from opportunities like these makes way for white people like me.
To dismantle racism, we must learn how to do what the Talmud suggests and not rebuild the wall where it was, reinforcing the toxic ideology. Instead, we have to move the wall back. We have to find a new way to rebuild our metaphorical homes.
As the Talmud acknowledges, this will make our homes smaller. And that is a price we must pay. True racial justice requires that white people give up privilege a much bigger ask than simply not being a racist.
Trying to resist a harmful cultural norm through individual actions can feel futile. What difference does it make if I, as one white woman, commit to never calling the police on a person of color? That commitment can change me, and it can change the life of that one person, but the racist system remains intact. The next Amy Cooper can still threaten the life of a Black man with one call to the police. Dismantling the system feels endless and maybe hopeless.
And yet, when we look at history, we see that idolatry a primary concern and fear in the lives of our ancestors is not our primary concern today. Somehow, society did shift. And if idolatry can fade into the background, maybe racism can too. But not without a lot of anti-racist work.

Gay Bowl attracts NFL sponsors and touches lives
5 months ago Kaekoko.com
Denver, Colorado (CNN)Magic, it seemed, was possible any time Dorien Bryant touched the ball.
Electric runs like the 98-yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown in front of 108,000 at Penn State, or the 95-yard score at home against Northwestern, or the touchdown catches of 53 and 41 yards against Indiana State peppered his college football career.Bryant left Purdue University in 2007 as the school's career leader in all-purpose yards, setting multiple Big Ten conference records before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yet just a year later, the playmaker was out of football, walking away from an offer from the Tennessee Titans and reportedly ignoring a call from the Dallas Cowboys."I came out when I was 24 or 25," Bryant tells CNN Sport of his decision to live openly as a gay athlete about a year after ending his NFL pursuit. "It was more of my choice, I didn't try and push it." Read More"I never wanted to be a figurehead for a movement; I don't want to be that guy."
Dorien Bryant set records in four years at Purdue University, but walked away from an NFL contract to live an openly gay life.READ: Black Power Salute to Colin Kaepernick: What's changed?
For the first time since childhood, Bryant, who also ran track at Purdue, took a break from sports and focused on himself. Football became an afterthought."It was either football or being able to live my life the way I want to live my life, and I'm happier than I ever was," he says. "I love football, but if I can't be me then it's not worth it." Now Bryant is back in the sport as his true self, featured as the go-to receiver for the 2017 champion New York Warriors at Gay Bowl, the annual tournament of the National Gay Flag Football League. Fifty-seven teams from 22 cities battled it out in 100-degree Denver weather last month, in seven-on-seven matches that provided a remarkable level of athleticism for a recreational league.Bryant is one of at least seven players on the Warriors with college football experience, recruited by teammate Wade Davis, a former Tennessee Titans signee who won an NFL Europe title with the Berlin Thunder. "The competition has progressively gotten better," says Davis, 41, a figurehead in the league who takes the Warriors' quest to repeat as Gay Bowl titleholders seriously. "The other teams have had to figure out how to get better players and better coaching."
"I'm happier than I ever was," said Byrant (#9). "I love football, but if I can't be me then it's not worth it." Over the past 18 years Gay Bowl has grown from a three-team tournament played in the dirt field of a Hollywood high school to a three-day event held in rotating cities boasting 35 sponsors, including United Airlines, Fidelity Investments, Sheraton Hotels and UPS. Rosters represent a mix of races, genders and sexual orientations — and welcome straight players, though their numbers are capped by a quota.
Everything is well organized, from the shuttle buses, to the singing of the Canadian and American anthems, to referees in striped uniforms who sound a lot like their NFL counterparts.Games are governed by a 57-page rule book, and formed by two 30-minute halves, with tackling replaced by the removal of an opponent's flag belt."I never thought in my wildest dreams that it would get this big," says co-founder Jim Buzinski, "but now it's so institutionalized. Cities are bidding for this."Honolulu, in fact, recently beat out bids from Austin and Toronto for the 2020 games, while New York will host its second Gay Bowl next year.The New England Patriots were sponsors of last year's Gay Bowl in Boston, with owner Robert Kraft speaking at the closing ceremony. This year the Denver Broncos made a financial contribution and worked with organizers to boost the tournament's reach."This shows that an issue the NFL probably would have avoided at some point in the past, thinking it was controversial, is now so accepted in mainstream that it seemed a no-brainer to be a part of," says Buzinski, who also co-founded the news service Outsports. "It is so routine that no one cares.""These are all football players and football fans, which is kind of a good business decision. It shows the progress that has been made."

READ: Why NFL fans are tailgating in parking lots and skipping the gamesFor most of the 1,000 or so participants of Gay Bowl, the long weekend represents a reunion of friends and a celebration of football — the sport they love, which in many ways shaped their lives."The majority of my friends in DC are in the league," says James Santos of the Washington Generals, a former Air Force enlistee who would go on to win this tournament playing receiver in his fifth Gay Bowl. "I have friends who met in the league who got married. I've been in weddings, birthday parties, and one funeral. They are like my family outside my immediate family."Flag football was also a means for Santos and his sister, who plays in the female league, to come out to their conservative church-going parents from Texas. "How my parents grew up, it was really frowned upon," he says. "You were just not considered normal, you were considered weak and a sissy.""That's just not the case at all, so for them to see that type of contact and passion … it's just eye opening." Santos' parents now attend their games often and "are really into it.""These are like everyday people that love sports," he says, adding that flag football helped dispel damaging stereotypes sometimes associated with the LGBT community.
What would do wonders for the perception of gay male athletes, Santos says, is to be represented by a prominent pro. "Like Jackie Robinson for black people, or Billy Jean King for women, we need an equivalent of someone like that to come out — a stud athlete," says Santos, who is black. "It would be okay. They are not going to lose their jobs."
Gay Bowl participants take a knee during the singing of the American national anthem on the opening morning of the tournament, September 14, 2018. Bryant agrees. "Sheer numbers tell you there are a few LGBT players in the NFL and in the NBA as we speak," he says, "it's just that those guys are afraid."The former Purdue standout wonders how things may have turned out if his shot at the NFL happened now instead of a decade ago. He points to Arizona State University signing openly gay high school football player My-King Johnson as a step forward. "There is more of a conversation like that in professional sports now," he says. "It's slow, but it's progress."It appears that football's locker room culture — which nearly drove former Patriots offensive lineman Ryan O'Callaghan to suicide before coming out — must evolve for a gay superstar to emerge. Bryant's Warriors teammate, former San Diego State strong safety Shaun Rogers, says his personal life took a backseat until his athletic scholarship ended. "Playing football is always like, how is my team going to respond? How is everyone going to respond?" says the 35-year-old brand innovator with heavily inked arms. "I don't want nobody to feel uncomfortable about the situation, so I kind of just suppressed it," he adds. "After college, I just became more open with it."There was more freedom, I didn't have to worry about my teammates — even though they were my friends. I just didn't have to be around that culture."
Gay Bowl XVIII athletes congregated at a welcoming party at a rooftop bar in Denver, Colorado. READ: How Australians are taking over NFL and college puntingREAD: NFL kicker Josh Lambo embraces mindfulness, shuns superstitionAlongside Bryant, Davis and Rogers are Stephan Benjamin, a 6-foot 4-inch, 211-pound former wide receiver at American International College, captain Preston Roberts Jr. from Worcester Polytechnic, and quarterback Chris Allison from Columbia University.Gelling with the LGBTQ league's ethos of inclusion, Roberts and Allison are two of the Warriors' five allotted straight players, with no more than three allowed on the field at once.Both prefer to play in New York's gay flag football league, rather than the ragtag games they were a part of in the city. "I can't think of a straight league that is on this level doing this type of stuff," says Roberts."This is legit," says Allison. "First off, everyone's got a jersey. Then you've got the tents (shielding resting players from the sun), you've got websites, you've got first aid here. Everyone's got a plan of action.""A lot of these leagues we've played in have been ad hoc, you've seen fistfights," he adds, noting that in the gay leagues "people get a little chippy from time to time with competitiveness. But if there is a fight, you're gone. It's not acceptable."During his first practice, the quarterback felt "a different vibe" straight away. "Everyone was super friendly with a lot of camaraderie, and so I said 'Why don't we give it a go?'"Roberts says joining the New York Gay Football League — which welcomes "straight allies" on its website — was by way of an understanding with Davis."He's taught me a lot about this league and about LGBT, so he's only expanded (my mind)," he says, "but he wouldn't have invited me to the league if he didn't think that this is something that I could become a part of.""If you're a gay participant and you invite a straight player, you probably trust them to be open enough."
Warriors captain Preston Roberts Jr. (right), who is straight, credited the league for educating him on the LGBT community. "If you're a gay participant and you invite a straight player, you probably trust them to be open enough," he said.It's the opening morning of Gay Bowl XVIII and players on the vast green field on the outskirts of Denver are slow to get into a rhythm. Maybe a few too many carried on at the welcoming rooftop party the night before. Bryant, who doubles as a personal trainer for budding college prospects and a bartender in New York, is used to playing on little sleep. "I get off work on Saturday at like 5 a.m. and we'll practice at like 9 a.m.," he says. Boasting a considerable size advantage, the Warriors dispose of their opponents convincingly.If anyone on the field is keeping track of which three straight players are playing for each team, it isn't apparent. Enforcement has always been based on an honor system, and by all accounts it works."I'm not going to say it's never come up," says Roberts of the Warriors' inclusion of high-caliber straight players, "but relatively speaking, it doesn't. There is a rule for it, but it's not a thing." Playing in his fourth Gay Bowl, the former Ivy Leaguer Allison is one of several straight quarterbacks in the league, because — just like in the NFL — good flag football quarterbacks are hard to find. "I'm sure there are a few people who are frustrated about it," he says. "There is definitely a debate there. You have to balance it out and make sure we come to some middle ground where everyone can be happy."Buzinski explains why a quota system was implemented after he founded the Los Angeles league. "We didn't want a situation where a 'gay team' would have 75 percent straight players, and they were the best straight players in high school or college, and they would be ringers.""People said, 'Well isn't that discriminatory?' No. You can play flag football in LA or any city in multiple leagues, so they weren't being deprived of an opportunity," he notes, adding that he never saw "a serious violation.""People policed themselves." Besides, "there was no way we could really test for it," he says."There were some players that people would swear were straight, and then their boyfriend would show up."Joe Cooper of the Denver Summit, who was honored by the league as a Hall of Fame inductee this year, sums up the consensus."At the end of the day, you have a lot of gay men who say 'I don't care if he's straight or not, I'm still going to whoop his ass on the football field.'"

"We can be a bit brutal with each other."New to the city after finishing her tour with the Army, Rollins found flag football "all encompassing," and even met her wife through the league."It's really been this amazing experience at an adult time in my life," she says. "I never went to college, so I consider this to be like a college experience for me. I never had this comradery, this sports experience."
The Denver Mile High Club's Aszur Rollins (right), who won her sixth Gay Bowl, says flag football is "all-encompassing" and met her wife through the league. Before she transitioned to life as a woman, Kaylee Parker played wide receiver at South View High School in North Carolina, battling several top college prospects in the state.The 38-year-old mechanical engineer moved to Phoenix in 2015 and began living full time as a woman, but missed the competition."Originally, I just wanted to play football," she says of finding her way onto the Phoenix Fahrenheit, "and once I started playing, I ended up meeting a lot of cool people, and it's basically like my other family now." "It didn't matter to me if it was a straight league or a gay league, but it happened to be what I found."Coming from a Phoenix league that is open to all genders, Parker's gender identity has not been an issue. But the Fahrenheit's team captain and quarterback admits she has received some resistance as a trans athlete competing in the women's division of Gay Bowl. "Everyone has their perspectives," she says, adding that flag football is more about finesse, catching skills, quickness and strategy, and less about brute strength. "So I think that the physicality of it goes out the window."(Her sentiment is echoed by Bryant, whose Warriors took fifth place this year. "It's about who's smart," he says. "You can have the 12 best athletes in this tournament and line up and still lose.")"I think about it a lot," Parker says. "I wouldn't compete if it was a tackle league."The other competitors, she feels, are perfectly capable of facing her across the line of scrimmage. "I would think that it would discredit a lot of women if I said I wouldn't play."
Kaylee Parker played high school football in North Carolna before transitioning to life as a woman. The 38-year-old mechanical engineer says her flag football teammates in Phoenix are "like my other family now."Perhaps the game is less physical than tackle football, but it certainly can be rough.One Warriors player is examined for a possible torn tendon in his knee after the team's very first game, while an LA Express player grumbles to Bryant that he lost a toenail in a collision."He acts like I did it on purpose," Bryant shrugs to a teammate, after encouraging the player to go to the first aid tent. "It will grow back."Bryant — who at 33 still sports a six-pack and the unmistakable frame of a pro athlete — admits he was at first taken aback by the level of play in the league, then checked himself. Was he stereotyping too? "You know what, you are kind of (surprised) at first," he says. "But then when you step back and think about it, why? Why are we surprised?"Because they are gay men? Like, we can play," he says, eyebrows raised, head nodding. "It is a recreational league, but we can play."

Ken Ham Slams Evolution-Supporting Christians for Following 'Religion of Death'
CP U.S. | Monday, June 27, 2016

Young-Earth Creationist Ken Ham, who is getting ready for the opening of the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on July 7, has accused Christians who support the theory of evolution as being people who follow a "religion of death."
"Christians who accept millions of years are mixing the religion of death with the religion of life — death came after sin, Jesus conquered it. Evolution requires death over millions of years, death is a 'friend' that produces life and death ends it all," Ham wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend.
"The Bible describes death as an enemy that will one day be destroyed — through Christ's death and resurrection we are offered life with God. Creation is a religion of life — death is a result of sin, our Creator paid the penalty for sin and offers the free gift of salvation — it's all about life. Christianity vs. secularism is really a battle between the religion of life and the religion of death," he added.
Ham, who is also president of the Creation Museum in Kentucky, has been providing sneak peaks of what visitors can expect from the Ark Encounter when it opens next month featuring a life-size replica of Noah's Ark.
The Creationist has had strong words for Christians who believe in evolution on a number of previous occasions, arguing back in July 2015 that they are compromising on God's truth.
"One of the problems with compromise in one area of Scripture is where do you stop compromising? If Christians accept the idea of human evolution, then why not accept the idea that our sinful tendencies are really just evolved tendencies?" Ham asked back then.
In another message in March, he said Christian leaders who do not interpret the creation account in Genesis 1-11 literally are leading people astray.
"Genesis 1-11 is like the foundation to a house. The whole structure stands upon it — all of our major doctrines like sin, salvation, the coming consummation, marriage, and more are grounded in Genesis," Ham wrote in his post at the time.
"Sadly many Christian leaders say Genesis isn't literal history and in doing so they undermine the foundation. No wonder such a large percent of church millennials don't defend marriage as for one man and woman. They no longer have a foundation to base their thinking on," he added.
Americans continue holding diverse views on the subject of human origins, with a 2014 Gallup poll finding that 42 percent believe that God created humans in their present form. Another 31 percent, however, supported the idea behind theistic evolution that humans underwent evolution with God guiding the process, while 19 percent said God played no part in the process at all.

LA County Reports 2,318 New COVID-19 Cases, 25 Deaths –
I'm growing at Manchester City despite limited play
Published on 17 November 2020, 16:45 -06:00
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The Los Angeles County Department of Health reported 2,318 new confirmed cases of coronavirus and 25 deaths Tuesday, bringing the total number of cases across the county to 325,876 and 7,200, respectively.
Registration for coronavirus testing does not take place until day 10. November at the test site in Los Angeles. (Photo by Frederick J. Brown/AFP-Getty)
Of the 25 new deaths, eight were over 80, nine between 65 and 79, seven between 50 and 64, and one between 30 and 49. Twenty-one of the dead were seriously ill.
The hospital currently has 888 people with KOVID-19, 28% of whom are being treated in the intensive care units. The number of patients admitted to hospital last week was over 800. At the beginning of October, between 650 and 725 people were admitted to hospital every day.
He promises to receive news in the near future about the potential of the KOVID-19 vaccine, said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the district health service. However, we can't wait for the vaccine to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County. Every person has to make a personal decision every day to use the tools we know for the job. I ask you to encourage your family and friends to continue the course. The authority to prevent new cases, hospitalizations and deaths is in our hands.
The Ministry of Health also reported that other companies were mentioned in connection with violations of the Health Code. Starting at 25. From October to October 1st. In November, 44 bids were submitted to companies, including restaurants, fitness studios, hotels and places of worship. A total of 260 quotations have been published since the end of August.
Health professionals have continued to insist that Los Angeles residents be vaccinated against the flu for the season, and Covid-19 continues to circulate rapidly throughout Los Angeles County.
Influenza vaccination is safe and protects against the harmful effects of the flu. It can help keep people out of the hospital and free up critical hospital resources, the ministry said. As the number of hospitalizations with COVID-19 increases and the cost of using COVID-19 for our communities and our health system decreases, it is more important than ever to be protected against the flu.
The Ministry of Health encourages all people aged 6 months and over to be vaccinated, but strongly recommends that people with a high risk of serious complications – people aged 65 years and over, pregnant women, children under the age of 5 and people with a chronic illness – be vaccinated.
On Tuesday, L.A. County remained at the most restrictive level in the state, at 7.6 per 100,000 residents, a quartile with 3.8 percent positive equity and 6.5 percent positive health equality.
To enter the red zone, a district must have a positive employment rate of less than 7.0 per 100,000 inhabitants, a positive employment rate of less than 8% and a positive employment rate of 8% of the health care corps for two consecutive weeks.
With test results available for more than 3,282,000 people, the overall percentage of positive test results in the district remained stable at 9%.

Unfortunately, they only breached a couple times while in view, and the fog took a lot of the drama out of these photos. Still, it's always a treat when whales decide to show a little more of their bodies off than we can usually see.
Here the whale is on its side, back facing the camera, and it slapped its fin down repeatedly, making a great splash each time. The most likely reason for this behavior is the big splash and associated noise – sounds that carry long-distance are the most efficient ways for whales to signal each other. We can't know what information the signals convey, because even the same signal can have different meanings due to context. Since the whales are most likely feeding in this area, it may have to do with finding food. Another possibility is that it may have to do with our boat driving up, since the change in signaling behavior happened just as we arrived.
Our day wasn't over yet, though! In addition to humpback whale behavior, we also got treated to dolphins, which were very hard to photograph.
These are part of a pod of common dolphins that numbered between 100-150 animals, so it was impossible to get the whole pod in one frame. With only a few on the surface at a time, it was a little difficult to guess where to look, but they were a great treat to see.
