Roe V. Wade Overturned: Separating Fact From Fiction
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. This decision has led to confusion and questions about abortion access across the United States.
Here are facts to help bring more clarity about the recent legal changes.
Fact: States Now Determine Abortion Laws.
By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court essentially returned the power to create local abortion laws back to the state lawmakers. Now, every state in the U.S. has its own unique set of laws, restrictions, and regulations.
Access to abortion still exists in Pennsylvania. In our state, abortion is legal up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. On the other hand, West Virginia enacted a complete ban on abortion unless the woman's life is endangered.
Due to this, women may travel to neighboring states in pursuit of different abortion laws because abortion is not banned nationwide.
Fact: Women Can Receive Life-Saving Care in Every State.
Even in states where abortion is banned, women can receive life-saving procedures.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sent a letter to healthcare providers to reaffirm they can take emergency actions due to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA).
This announcement means abortions can be performed in emergency situations.
Fact: Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment Is Not Abortion.
After the Court overturned Roe v. Wade, there was a lot of attention on ectopic pregnancy and how changing laws could impact access to treatment.
Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy located outside of the uterus and can be life-threatening. It's usually treated with methotrexate or a surgical procedure. Since this type of pregnancy is non-viable and not located in the uterus, it is not considered an abortion.
Due to the nature of ectopic pregnancy and its specific need for treatment, no matter the changes in abortion laws, ectopic pregnancy treatment will remain available to all who need it.

The Humane Society endorsed Fitzpatrick for writing legislation to save small animals, that's great. But he voted for legislation to take health care away from small children and he has never spoke up about the POTUS abusive, hate-filled, fear mongering tweets that are tearing our country apart. He claims to be independent yet votes party line 85 percent of the time. What a guy? He will not get my vote.
Democrats, abetted by the media, paint a dissonant, divided nation "led by Donald Trump." Ignoring the improvements in the economy and world order over the Obama years, they "resist" and do so in a rancorous, destructive fashion. They lost power, and they don't like it.

Q: Optimizing Zend framework routes I'm using a traditional Zend framework application generated using Zend tool. I have several modules in my application all generated using Zend tool too. I'm intending to use the default routes in Zend framework in my application.
For example: www.host.com/module/controller/action/param1/value1/param2/value2
Here are my questions:

*

*Performance wise, using the default routes is the fastest solution, right?

*Since I won't ever change the routes, is there a way to make the
routing process even faster? caching for example? skipping the routing
process entirely? or any other technique?

*What is the pros of making custom routes? is it better for SEO?

*Can I skip the routing process for AJAX calls? (I know the answer
is mostly NO, but maybe I can optimize my call further for AJAX calls)

Note:
I understand the routing process itself and how it works in Zend
framework. However, since I won't be using most of the features
available I thought maybe it's time for fine tuning :)
Thanks in advance.

A:
1 . Performance wise, using the default routes is the fastest solution, right?

Right, but not using any routing system is the fastest solution (obviously).

2 . Since I won't ever change the routes, is there a way to make the routing process even faster? caching for example? skipping the routing
  process entirely? or any other technique?

Well, that's the thing, routes are mostly used for flexibility, internationalization, SEO.
The problem with the Zend Framework Router is that it depends and wraps the Front Controller instance, therefore it is hard (well impossible afaik) to cache the Router since the FC itself wraps others things like PDO instances which are not cachable.
So all routes are computed again and again for every requests.
A possible solution when using complex routes while avoiding route computation is to dump all routes to native Apache Rewrite Rules, it will be blazing fast compared to ZF, the main problem with this solution is that you need to manually compute reverse routes and whenever you make a change to a route, you'll need to edit it by hand.
As often, it is scalability vs performance.

3 . What is the pros of making custom routes? is it better for SEO?

Well, it "depends" (tm):
/list?type=products vs /products, the second route wins.
However, /products/page/1 vs /products?page=1 is a win-win (well it actually does not but it is another story).
Other pros:

*

*i18n

*seo

*usability

*meaningful url

4 . Can I skip the routing process for AJAX calls? (I know the answer is mostly NO, but maybe I can optimize my call further for AJAX calls)

I don't see any cons against this. I often go for it, except for RESTfull API.

A: Do you profiled the performance of the routing component of ZF or is it a assumption that this is the "bottleneck" of your application?!
In my opinion, if you need that low-latency, optimizing the page speed by disabling the most comfortable features isn't the best attempt to get the target. May you should starting to optimize your SQL querys (slowlog is the keyword here) or other things (xdebug can really help you profiling your application and to discover bottlenecks).
It's all about timing...
What about caching before the zend framework kicks in? What about caching and delivering before your interpreter (php) kicks in? Sounds good? You may want to use proxys like Varnish to realize a good low-latency responsive and to do something like that.
And even if you get a cache-miss from your proxy, you want to use a PHP opcode cache (like APC, XCache, ...).
For your ask how to speed-up and optimizing your zend framework, you want to read the Zend Performance Guide.

A: You have two ways either extend Zend_Front_Controller and override its dispatch method and set your own front , or do the changes in zend code itself .
Open
Zend/Controller/Front.php

inside dispatch() method
find and remove following code
 $router = $this->getRouter();
    $router->setParams($this->getParams());

and
 $this->_plugins->routeStartup($this->_request);

      try {
            $router->route($this->_request);
        }  catch (Exception $e) {
            if ($this->throwExceptions()) {
                throw $e;
            }

            $this->_response->setException($e);
        }

        /**
        * Notify plugins of router completion
        */
        $this->_plugins->routeShutdown($this->_request);

After doing this take the request object $this->_request
and set controller , action , module name based on url parameters.
$this->_request()->setModuleName($get[0]);

Richmond residents describe sound of illegal celebratory gunfire like 'being in a war zone'
By: Laura French
RICHMOND, Va. – "It was like being in a war zone something like that near constant gunfire," said Alexander Fraley.
That's how Alexander Fraley described what it sounded like outside his Richmond home Monday night and he wasn't alone. Hundreds of people took to social media concerned about celebratory gunfire New Year's Eve.
"It's like Beirut or Afghanistan, it's continuous gunfire for 45 to an hour at least," said Army veteran and Richmond resident Sam Sanders.
"All different types of weapons being fired. The only thing you could do to be safe is get low in your house and pray no bullets come through your window."
Sam Sanders has lived in Richmond since 2007. He said last night's gunfire was the worst he's experienced on New Year's Eve since moving to the city.
"It was worse because last night it was a barrage of different type of weaponry and fire," said Sanders.
"We just stayed inside kinda of like we're not going to risk it," said, Fraley.
"If there's that many guns going off odds are the bullet is going to land somewhere and could really hurt someone."
"The bullet has got to hit something," said Sanders. "Hopefully, it's not someone or someone's kids."
As was the tragic case July 4, 2013 in Chesterfield, when celebratory gunfire killed seven year old Brendon Mackey while walking with his family to the fireworks show at Brandermill's Sunday Park.
In 2014, Brendon's Law was enacted, making it illegal to fire a gunshot into the air. If a shot fired into the air, including celebratory gunfire, injures someone, the shooter could face felony charges.
"Having it be a felony is certainly a good thing anything you can do to deter it," said Fraley.
"We have a motto in our household, we do not leave the house after 6 o'clock on New Year's Eve or the 4th of July because you just can't take the risk of not returning home stray bullets," said Sanders.
"Stop it, put down the guns," said Sanders. "Take it to the range where it belongs."
Chesterfield and Richmond Police Departments warned residents to avoid celebratory gunfire as they rang in the New Year.
Firing a gun in the city limits is illegal and dangerous, said a Richmond Police spokesperson.
The Richmond Department of Emergency Communications says they received more than 180 reports of gunfire on New Year's Eve 2017. Totals for this year have not yet been released.

Enjoy a jungle swim at the waterfall before going back.
Time to visit the Buddhist HinLad Temple after the hike.
The Hin Lad Waterfall Hike is a half-day tour including a beautiful and not too strenuous trek to the waterfall, visit to the Hin Lad Temple and lunch.
You will follow a jungle trail uphill for about 50-60 minutes (3-4 kilometer). Although the slope is not so steep the sometimes rocky trail (which can be slippery) can be quite challenging. The trail follows the river uphill through a dense evergreen rainforest setting with palms and creepers. The forest offers lots of shade and somewhat coolness. You will take your time to enjoy the flora and fauna while hiking up and will take a long rest at the waterfall.
At the waterfall, you have time to rest. You can go for a swim or just cool down with your feet its river, while you relax and enjoy the scenery. The Waterfall becomes large and impressive during the rainy season. However, after long dry weather periods, it may lose volume. Nevertheless, it will always be good enough for a nice cooldown and the experience of immersing in its surroundings is definitely worth the trip as well.
After that you will take the same trail back at a relaxed pace, taking time to enjoy the views of the jungle. You will have time to visit the Hin Lad Temple before going back to the Restaurant to experience a fusion of authentic Thai cuisine and a few European treats. You will return back to your hotel at a flexible schedule when you are ready.
All tours are sold out for this date.
Including your booking, the minimum required bookings has been reached! Booking will be confirmed.

repeat from 2003
Jack Balkin is still arguing with Larry Solum on the subject of Constitutional change.
Solum refers to himself as a "neoformalist" and lays out some principles as to what that description means. That's all well and good, but he's talking to others who are not neoformalists. And there are plenty of others of various other persuasions who are involved in debates on the same subject. In this case a neoformalist is debating a hybrid historicist textualist social constructivist liberal. Never mind how change should happen, how does it happen? What are the terms of the debate they are already having? We need a little less theorizing and a little more sociological observation. Balkin understands this; after all I think it fits in with his philosophy, but Solum seems not to, and is simply trying to invent ways to justify his moral conservatism with a veneer of logic. But if history is anything other than repitition, it's dialectics. As a simple matter of fact, Solum's ideals, even if they come and go in popularity, simply fail as a description of why they do so.
I think this is when I emailed Balkin telling him he was always far too polite, and he replied defending honey over vinegar. 11 years later we got "Why are Americans Originalist?" and Kill'em with Kindness, all too coy by half.
Now we get a symposium on this.
The Partisan Republic is the first book to unite a top down and bottom up account of constitutional change in the Founding era. The book focuses on the decline of the Founding generation's elitist vision of the Constitution and the rise of a more 'democratic' vision premised on the exclusion of women and non-whites. It incorporates recent scholarship on topics ranging from judicial review to popular constitutionalism to place judicial initiatives like Marbury vs Madison in a broader, socio-legal context. The book recognizes the role of constitutional outsiders as agents in shaping the law, making figures such as the Whiskey Rebels, Judith Sargent Murray, and James Forten part of a cast of characters that has traditionally been limited to white, male elites such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Marshall. Finally, it shows how the 'democratic' political party came to supplant the Supreme Court as the nation's pre-eminent constitutional institution.
Jud Campbell, sends us here.
Federalist 37 [Madison]
All new laws, though penned with the greatest technical skill, and passed on the fullest and most mature deliberation, are considered as more or less obscure and equivocal, until their meaning be liquidated and ascertained by a series of particular discussions and adjudications. Besides the obscurity arising from the complexity of objects, and the imperfection of the human faculties, the medium through which the conceptions of men are conveyed to each other adds a fresh embarrassment. The use of words is to express ideas. Perspicuity, therefore, requires not only that the ideas should be distinctly formed, but that they should be expressed by words distinctly and exclusively appropriate to them. But no language is so copious as to supply words and phrases for every complex idea, or so correct as not to include many equivocally denoting different ideas. Hence it must happen that however accurately objects may be discriminated in themselves, and however accurately the discrimination may be considered, the definition of them may be rendered inaccurate by the inaccuracy of the terms in which it is delivered. And this unavoidable inaccuracy must be greater or less, according to the complexity and novelty of the objects defined. When the Almighty himself condescends to address mankind in their own language, his meaning, luminous as it must be, is rendered dim and doubtful by the cloudy medium through which it is communicated.
We need a history of justice.

Driving is a true culture in the United States. And it would be very surprising if Los Angeles was an exception for the rule. Los Angeles is of course no exception, so people love driving here too. For this reason, they need cars. It is no wonder that the total amount of vehicles in Los Angeles is constantly growing. Americans love to drive and plenty families own more than one car. Based on the statistics for 2008, there were 5.8 million autos in Los Angeles. If we keep in mind the dynamics of growth, then the probable amount of autos in Los Angeles currently is about 6.5 million. These are the great figures.
One of the best ways to buy a car is from a car dealership. Car dealers are the companies that sell either new or used cars. The prices at car dealerships are at the same level as in the retail shops. This website is dedicated to car dealers and their operation in Los Angeles. Most of the cars owned by the residents of Los Angeles were bought in car dealerships. Buying a car in a car dealership is the most convenient way to do it. For instance, if you visit statewide auto sales, you will find there a variety of choice of different cars, including entry-level, middle, and luxurious models. Besides, there you will find plenty information on the cars that are sold as well as smart personnel who will help with everything you need.
However, even in Los Angeles, car dealerships are not identical. Personally you can't know to the level of services a dealership provides before you visit it. You need an advice from someone who knows and can recommend you an appropriate auto dealership, where you can buy a car smoothly and with no trouble. Besides, different dealerships pay attention to different details. Some dealership may be not bad but simply inappropriate in your circumstances. For this reason, you should study the information on dealerships before visiting them. For instance, statewide auto sales may become a dealership which satisfies all your needs and requests.
Since our website is dedicated to auto dealerships, you will find all the necessary information on these dealerships on the website. We provide the addresses of car dealerships in Los Angeles. You must know that Los Angeles consists of eighty districts. The large city has plenty auto dealerships. And it is natural that you don't know addresses and telephone number of all of them. However, you can get the information on these addresses and telephone numbers on this website. In addition, we provide comprehensive information on car repairs and a statewide auto auction on the website too. So, if you need to buy a car or to repair the vehicle you own in a particular district, please find the address or the telephone number of your local service on the pages of the website. By the way, calling before coming is always a good idea because you may be provided with additional useful information by the company.
Although the primary goal of our website it to provide the readers with the information on car dealers and repair shops, you may also find plenty of other useful information here. For example, we provide you with the information on a statewide auto auction, where you can acquire the car of your dream. In addition, we are fond of car as well as you are, so here you can find original auto reviews on the new models which appear in the market. Besides, something new always occurs in the automotive industry, and all car fans should follow the news to know what is going on. On this website, we deliver you all the most important news of the automotive industry. And thanks to reading the news, you will keep abreast of the entire auto world.

Marks & Spencer, Britain's number one clothing retailer, said it was cautious about the outlook for consumers ahead of expected tax rises, as it posted a smaller rise in annual profit than most of its major rivals.
The 126-year-old group, which also sells food and homewares, said it was taking market share in clothing and had made a satisfactory start to its new financial year.
But analysts want to hear how new chief executive Marc Bolland plans to revive the group's upmarket food business and take the fight to fast-growing clothing discounters like Primark, and Marks & Spencer (M&S) said he would not outline his initial findings until interim results in November.
"We see better value and visibility elsewhere such as Next and Debenhams and feel the shares will drift until Marc Bolland sets out his strategic vision for the business," said Shore Capital analyst Kate Calvert.
Britain's retailers are emerging from a long and deep recession but fear steps to rein in government debt, like higher taxes, will hit consumer spending in the months ahead.
"Consumers are naturally concerned about any impact of the Budget on 22 June," said Marks & Spencer (M&S) Executive Chairman Stuart Rose, referring to plans by Britain's new coalition government to announce steps to cut a record state deficit in June.
"We therefore remain cautious about the outlook for the year ahead," he added, though he also thought the British economy would not fall back into recession and was confident M&S would stay in growth.
M&S, which serves 21 million Britons a week from over 650 stores and also has about 300 shops abroad, said profit before tax and one-off items rose five percent to £632.5m ($910m) in the 52 weeks ended March 27.
That was just ahead of analysts' average forecast of £628m in a company poll, helped by a 30 basis-point increase in clothing market share to 11 percent.
But it falls short of the rises posted by rivals like Next, Debenhams and John Lewis, and underscores the challenges facing Bolland as he looks to rebuild profits towards the £1bn achieved in 2007-8.
Bolland joined M&S in early May with a £15m pay package, having previously turned around Wm Morrison Supermarkets through a mixture of marketing, product innovation and business systems improvements.
After a particularly tough recession, M&S has fought back by introducing lower-priced "Wise Buys" in food and new clothing ranges like Indigo.
Shore Capital's Calvert expects profits to rise to £660m in 2010-11 and thinks this might increase by £10-15m due to lower financing costs on M&S's pension.
M&S's sales rose 3.2 percent to £9.3bn and the firm cut its annual dividend to 15 pence a share from 17.8 pence the year before, in line with previous guidance.
Rose, brought into M&S to fend off a 400 pence-a-share bid from retail billionaire Philip Green in 2004, is due to relinquish his executive functions at the end of July and leave the company by the end of March 2011.
He told reporters he was "absolutely flexible" about the timing of his departure, signalling he could go earlier if a new chairman was appointed quickly.

Q: I have python script which included some bash commands in os.system(). Will this work in Windows? I have a python script which included some bash commands in os.system() method .
If I convert this python script to exe using Pyinstaller,  will this exe file work properly in windows OS or will I face any issues since Windows can't run bash commands ?
the bash commands include pdftk utility.
 Example : pdftk input_pdf output output_pdf userpw password
Should I install pdftk utility also in Windows.
What should I do or install to make it work in Windows ?
Please help me..
Thank you

A: It won't work, os.system is os specific, in Windows it will just spawn a cmd process and try to execute that command and cmd != bash.
Edit: powershell has a lot of common bash commands implemented on windows, you could try to figure out in the code what os are you running on and if powershell supports your bash commands you could use the subprocess module to spawn powershell processes

A: It probably will not work, from what I have seen when using bash commands inside of code on windows.
Solutions:

*

*Change the commands to commands that work on Windows.

*Use some kind of python api (if you know of one post it in the comments and I will put it here.) that allows you to use the commands you need.

*Simply run the script using the bash terminal on windows, but you won't be able to make it a exe as far as I know.

Extension of Operating Hours for Retail Establishments during ECQ
By P&L Law | Services | 14 April 2020 in Corporate & Investments, Obiter / News
Leave a reply | Related posts at the end of article
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) issued a directive on the extension of operating hours for retail stores during the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) period, reiterating an earlier IATF Resolution. DTI Memorandum Circular No. 20-15 dated 11 April 2020 covers ALL the following retail establishments:
agri-fisheries stores
public markets
pharmaceutical and drugstores
retailers of basic necessities and prime commodities
retailers of essential goods and medical products
The enumerated retail establishments are allowed to operate up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours. The extension of store hours is intended to spread the flow of customers in keeping with the social distancing directives and enable the establishments to increase the number of people served daily.
The extended store hours is not mandatory for retail establishments, as can be gleaned from the language of Memorandum Circular No. 20-15. However, once the retail establishment exercises its discretion to operate up to a maximum of 12 hours, all local government units (LGUs) are required to allow such extended operation.
Any doubt shall be construed against any person disregarding the provisions of the DTI Memorandum Circular No. 20-15, subject to the corresponding penalty under applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.

Harle's Heros honoured
Last weekend marked the last time a few familiar phrases will be heard over the loudspeaker at the Jack: "Sarah Williams for three!" and even more often, "Leighann Doan for two!" It was the last regular season home game for the Dinos this season and the last game in Calgary for four of the girls. Alison McGinn, Linnae Bee, Sarah Williams and reigning Canadian Intercollegiate Athletics Union Player of the Year Leighann Doan will retire at the end of this season after their five-year collegiate careers.
On Jan. 26 and 27, the rest of the Dinos squad helped to make it a memorable finish for the team as they ousted the University of Saskatchewan in two straight games, 80-54 and 88-57 respectively.
Head Coach Shawne Harle made it clear how much these four players mean to the Dinos organization in a tear-filled post-game dedication.
"The best is yet to come!" Harle began about Williams. "It couldn't be at a better time with playoffs around the corner."
Harle then proceeded to praise Bee.
"Within five minutes of our ID camp, I knew I wanted you."
Harle went on to talk about her only player to start at all five positions, Alison McGinn.
"[Alison is] one of the reasons this program has taken a step. No team is complete without an Alison."
Then came the hard part. How do you talk about the best player to ever put on a lady Dinos uniform? Coach Harle summed up Doan's career nicely when she said, "[Leighann] realized that dreaming was not enough."

Liquid Music to feature Rafiq Bhatia's 'Breaking English'; 22 stops in 13th Annual Studio ARTour
ALSO: "Life's Parade" at the Red Eye Theater; The Sphinx Virtuosi at the Ordway; Ai Weiwei's "The Human Flow" at the Lagoon; and more.
By Pamela Espeland | Columnist

Rafiq Bhatia
The SPCO's Liquid Music is not the only creative, inventive and daring new-music series in the Twin Cities. To name just a few, there's JT Bates' Jazz Implosion at Icehouse, anything Zeitgeist, Thursdays at the Khyber Pass, and composers' collectives. In August, Joe Horton brought three nights of improvised music to the Southern, mixing and matching musicians who had never performed together before, just to see what would happen.
There are other places where you can find improvisation, risk-taking and collaboration across genres. But in terms of size, scope, ambition, vision, and the ability to broker partnerships and get big, crazy projects done, Liquid Music stands alone. In and of the moment, facing the future, it has put the Twin Cities on the map of places where interesting music happens and has drawn the eye of the New York Times, which dubbed the series "Best of Classical."
Is it always successful? No. Some events have seemed unfinished, incoherent or fuzzy. Is it always worth taking a chance on? Absolutely. Several of our favorite concerts over the past five years have been Liquid Music events. Most recently, in May, Iceland's Valgeir Sigurðsson and Daniel Bjarnason, American folk singer Sam Amidon, Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto, Poliça's Channy Leaneagh and members of the SPCO performed on the same stage, outdoors in the courtyard of the American Swedish Institute. It rained a little. No one cared.
Michael Cina, "Clouds"
Kate Nordstrum has been Liquid Music's curator from the start. Some of us will remember the fresh, exciting music she programmed at the Southern in partnership with Wordless Music. Hired part time by the SPCO in 2011, she's now full time and about to launch Liquid Music's sixth season with the world premiere at the Walker of "Breaking English," the latest work by guitarist, composer and electronic music artist Rafiq Bhatia, a member of the New York band Son Lux.
Bhatia will be joined by fellow Son Lux member Ian Chang on percussion, Jackson Hill on bass and synthesizers, and Nina Moffitt on vocals. The music will be set to visuals by Minneapolis-based artist Michael Cina and video artist Hal Lovemelt. Chang will open the concert with "Spiritual Leader," his set of solo works for electronic percussion. It will all be … who knows? But missing it could be riskier than being there.
Saturday at the Walker: Rafiq Bhatia: "Breaking English." 8 p.m. FMI and tickets ($20, $16 Walker members).
Penumbra wants your stories
In March 2018, Penumbra Theatre will host a "Let's Talk" presentation and discussion featuring stories from across the state, performed live on stage, recorded for broadcast by MPR and maybe published later in an e-book.
Submissions are open now for "Let's Talk: My America." What is your America? How do you experience it? What do you hope it could be? Submissions can take the form of first-person stories, poems, monologues and more. All will be reviewed by a panel of playwrights, authors, journalists, and activist artists. Finalists will work with Penumbra's artists-in-residence to workshop their narratives. On March 12, they'll share them on stage.
The deadline to submit your story is Nov. 17, 2017. FMI. Guidelines here.
Tonight (Thursday, Oct. 19) at the Washington County Library: Club Book: Dave Page. If you have a question about F. Scott Fitzgerald, ask Dave Page. One of the world's foremost scholars on the life and legacy of "The Great Gatsby" author, he'll talk about his latest, "F. Scott Fitzgerald in Minnesota: The Writer and His Friends at Home," a house-by-house guide to Summit Ave. and other areas of St. Paul that the author knew and loved. 6:30 p.m. Free.

Refugees walking near Idomeni Camp, Greece, in "Human Flow," an Amazon Studios release.
Opens Friday at the Lagoon: Ai Weiwei's "The Human Flow." More than 65 million people around the world have been forcibly displaced from their homes. Filmed in 23 countries, with a cast of thousands, Chinese artist Weiwei's first feature-length documentary is a concentrated look at an epic global crisis and one of the great moral tests of our times. "I see those people coming down to the boats as my family," he has said. "Like me, they are also afraid of the cold and don't like standing in the rain or being hungry." The trailer alone is devastating. FMI and tickets.
Friday through Sunday in and around Farmington, Northfield and Faribault: 13th Annual Studio ARTour. Peak fall colors, plus some early holiday shopping? This big annual tour features 22 stops and work by more than three dozen artists. Pots, paintings, jewelry, textiles, glass and metal/wood will all be available for purchase. Some locations are open Friday from 4-8 p.m.; all are open Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 10-5. FMI including a printable map and brochure.
Friday, Saturday and Monday at the Red Eye Theater: "Life's Parade." A tiny theater on a side street near Loring Park, co-founded by Steve Busa and Miriam Must, the Red Eye has long been a place for invention and experimentation. Its 34th season begins with a coming-of-age tale for women, inspired by the films of Douglas Sirk including "Magnificent Obsession." Conceived and directed by Busa, written by Katherine Sherman, with Must in the leading role, it follows an older divorcée as she reinvents herself, with help from old-time movies and love songs. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Monday at 7. FMI and tickets ($20, $8 students; Monday is pay-what-you-can). Also next Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 26-29. Ends Oct. 29.

Sunday at the Ordway: The Sphinx Virtuosi. This 18-member professional chamber orchestra doesn't look like most other classical music ensembles. All the musicians are black or Latino, alums of the annual Sphinx Competition held in Detroit. The Virtuosi tour and play Carnegie Hall each year to sold-out halls and rave reviews. For the 20th anniversary of the organization, the self-conducted group is playing music by Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Michael Abels, and a newly commissioned work by award-winning composer Jimmy Lopez. For a young aspiring musician of color, this concert could be life-changing. 3 p.m. FMI and tickets (adults $30-35; $5 for children under 12 with an adult ticket purchase).
Monday at the Fitzgerald Theater: Niyaz: The Fourth Light Project. An immersive, multisensory concert of 21st century global trance is not what you'd expect from a show co-presented by the Cedar and the Current. But this looks amazing. Based in Montreal (home of Cirque de Soleil), founded by vocalist Azam Ali and multi-instrumentalist Loga Ramin Torkian, Niyaz is a contemporary Middle Eastern group whose performances blend medieval Sufi poetry, folk songs from Iran, acoustic instruments, electronic beats and sacred dance with state-of-the-art projection and body-mapping. Their latest album, "The Fourth Light," was mixed by Grammy nominee Damian Taylor, who has worked with Bjork, the Killers and Arcade Fire. 8 p.m. FMI and tickets ($30-35).

So we talked about it lunch that it's not my fault it's my type god I'd felt ashamed before that I wasn't a good manager and says right in my type your hand that was not her fault I wrote my little mantra now and I brought this because I have trouble sometimes this self esteem even though I'm always the loudest person I'm always the most scared first sin but I wrote you do have the seals personality in time to do the things that challenge you scare you and make you happy so okay we're ending there I got to everyone right oh my god, that was just the best thing okay all right all right so we have our puzzle pieces and now we need to talk about our personal homework right? So jim said like, oh, this room full of overwhelms people that are ready to start something but like where do we start and what do we dio obviously that could be a whole another creative life course so we're just we're gonna just blew like put it right on down so that we know when we leave this room when we turn off that computer what our personal homework iss hello here are some ideas of where to start okay this is what you might need to do next but before I get to them I want to give you some more reminders right? This is these are things that are gonna help you on your way reminder number one take ur time what we did in three sessions takes my client's three to four months and sometimes longer to do right so during that time they usually discover what it is they want to do and they start doing it but sometimes it just takes some that long to really like discover it and commit to it and just like get their feet barely a little bit wet so this is a process and taking your time leads to the clarity it leads to the commitment to write s o don't make any big like rash whimsical crazy decisions just still keep that exploration mine keep that career detective mind keep that begin our mind and explorer and take your time to contradict that don't take forever oh my goodness don't take forever notice when you feel that almost equal amount of nerves and x site name because that's always the path it's going to lead you to growth and clarity and then actually do something with it before you know twenty thirty because then I would be sad reminder number to get out of your head and into your hands. This was a phrase that one of my brilliant former clients came up with on dh she came to one of our sessions and said, michelle, I have to remember that when I do things and I used my hands that's that's when I feel like I'm moving forward and that's when things become clear to me so we could talk about this forever you could see sit in front of that computer and watch these videos over and over and over again, especially when you it's the course and and that's great up to a point but you need to stop thinking you need to stop analyzing and overthinking all over again and just do something already yes denver I redden author she said, doing instead of spewing, I like that bet on there there a puzzle and get totally be apiece uh reminder number three don't expect the linear don't expect it to be a straight line oh, I'm going to do this gonna lead me to this and this is going to make sense and blah blah blah I I've never met anyone who would describe their career path as linear so don't look for it instead expect this expect some of the execs is expect the roller coaster ride expect going taking two steps forward and one step back and five step forward and six steps back like expect that to be the process not that things are going to be a smooth ride reminder number four I'm so glad so many of you wrote this on your puzzle pieces baby steps build the strongest foundation so I really have zero regrets that it took me two years and seven months in my executive assistant job the very same month I started that job I started my career coaching certification and it took me that long to feel comfortable and confident leaving that job and in that time I took a baby step every day sometimes it was a big or baby steps sometimes I was coaching a client and maybe in a class or I was working on my website or you know, graduating from my certification those air kind of bigger steps and sometimes it was just oh I could write a paragraph of a block post today or oh I could follow five people on twitter today do something every day get that momentum and know that my timeline isn't everyone's timeline but if you rush rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush rush through it you might have the semblance of something but you're gonna have bigger cracks in the foundation so here's some suggestions on how to kind of jump you off with the homework do it brained up as to what you need to do moving forward there space for this on pages one seventeen to one eighteen of the workbook here are some examples number one take the questions you wrote down in the four year consider operation exercise and gets researching so jenny right away you could say, how could I figure out how to teach croce and the way that I wanna teach o'shea what do I need to know about teaching? How could I build that curriculum? Not be something that you might do. So take those questions that you wrote down and know that, like I'm going to answer those questions that could literally be the first thing you do. Number two take a test drive of the career, the careers you want to try out eso you know, we talked about to be charged people doing not only d'oh make it as easy as possible, right? Like, like put it out there like molly quigley on facebook. Um, or you know, before she even asked anyone, could I write your copy for your online dating profile? She just wrote the curriculum for a classic she thinks she wants to teach, so this doesn't even have to involve ever anyone else and I love jenna did this last night. She wrote down. What would it be to be the swag analyzer? What would I do for you? And so you just having that outline, I think, gives you more inside us to whether it's something. I wanted to pick one of those things that you wrote down. Start to it. Take a test drive of the career. You want to try out number three, right, dear, future me the letter, ok, I love this exercise so much. I was trying to figure out a way to do it together while still being engaging, and I couldn't figure it out, but basically it's an exercise where you would write today's date at the top of the page, but a year later, so right now he would say september thirteen, twenty, fifteen and I would say, dear future, michelle and I would talk about in the letter, all the things that have happened from right now in the present to the date of that letter. So many things have happened since you appeared on creative live. Oh, my god, this happened with your business, and this happened with your family, and this is where you're living, and this is what you look like, and anything else that kind of comes to me, that I want to include now, this is not a road map for like, a checklist, then to the things that we want to do. This just helps us get that clarity and put it out into the universe and its interesting the person who told me about this exercise, her name is jessica lively, and she does really great work if you want to look her up. She said that she approaches from kind of a more scientific way that when she would do that exercise and she looked at it a year later, like something like eighty percent of the things she wrote down came true, and she didn't she didn't do any like aggressive work with that, but while that could be a side effect, I don't think that's the point of the exercise, it's just really to allow yourself tio flex that training muscle and really paint a picture of what it is you want for yourself, and then you tuck it away when I love to do is to loaded into a website called feature me dot orc, and it just allows you to write an email that you could stand to anyone and future date it. So you send it to yourself on the date of the letter, and and it appears in your email inbox well it's just it's so great to read that again I also I do is exercise pretty much every year on new year's day and I put it up on my block so if you have the workbook you'll have a link to my most recent letter which then has links to all of my other letters I do this and then I take up the really personal stuff and I put the rest of the line for brooke just the course now to get my big bat workbook and have evergreen access to all the material you could do this forever and ever and ever I have clients that comes to me for three four years later that same michelle I'm still referring to the notes from when we worked together there's still helping me and I know that when they're in this form and with these videos as opposed to just scattered notes all over the place who knows where they're going to end up and live um it's so much easier to go back to and re dio right so you could do this course in a year finding stuff financers print the workbook up again and do it all over uh you could visit when I grow up coach dot com slash creative life joined the dream career creators it's my close group on facebook currently there are over a hundred people in there from all over the world really, really super exciting uh paige is one eighteen to one twenty we're answering these questions right quick quick gut checks what is your own personal homer consist of what might have to be sacrificed in order to follow through on your homework talked about this with andrea little bit right? There might be tangible things in terms of you know I'm not gonna order so many things on amazon I'm going to stop buying shoes on sale at macy's and it might be the intangible things like I need to just deal with the fact that I might not be in control for a while or I need to allow myself to not have my identity be around my status like what is it that needs to be sacrificed? You can't say yes to something unless you say no to something else right? Especially in this time when our time is just so valuable it just can't happen so if you expect to do this on top of everything else you already dio uh good luck to you don't do that uh three what will you gain by doing your homework and what will you gain by doing euros you do the homework what are you gonna gain tangibly in tangibly what is that? What will your prizes and celebration the rights we talked about? We talked this in relation to play but if we tie a bribe or a celebration along with especially the things that we have to do that are really scary or really out of our comfort zone are really things that were not so good at, but we need to do it like looking at our finances so we know when we could quit our jobs, tie it up with the prize or a celebration and figure out what that is before hand before you do that and who could help you during this process. So you know, if you're in a relationship with a wonderful partner than they could help you, uh, the dream career creators could help you maybe a coach that you want to hire may be your best a friend who is it that you know we'll support you during this process that won't say, do you like, what are you doing again? What are u looking teo are like, what do you mean you won't be at happy hour like we know we all know those people it's, not those people, those people won't help you or other people here that are going to help you, so I want to hear I want to hear from you guys what's next on your less of what you need to do what's your personal homework yes, you and, uh I want dear future me letter o great feel sort of equally challenging and yeah, and exciting I have to say I have to just add its ends up being like sometimes an emotional experience not when I write it I like for myself the wine or the tea that I love and then you know, I put on the music that I like and like I kind of create the mood for it but yes it's challenging but also really powerful um I want to get in touch with paula, okay? The project management has thinks he's doing and going back to sort of the photography piece want to get in touch with heart gallery, which is a organization that takes pictures of foster kids, get them into adoption books and get him a doctor could help scale that cool. Okay, uh and I have a new camera and I need to sit down and actually spend time reading the book watching youtube and I also want to look at stock photography b I have a class to sit down and watch on that. So write what you doing next what's the next thing you're gonna do I like this. So you have your short list what's the net what are you doing tonight when you get home or tomorrow? First thing I'll allow it tomorrow um actually tomorrow I'm hoping to be playing with my niece okay tomorrow yes. What are you doing first off that list playing with my new camera. Fantastic. I'm going to new mexico in october for the balloon festival. How? I want to be able to get some really good pictures, though. And I have a feeling might be able to take your camera to see your niece and maybe tries to found this is true. I don't think she wants to be a model. Oh, yeah, right. Teo, you two together, she would way want to hear to in the chat tell us your personal homer. Tell us the very next thing that you know that you were going to dio stacy. Yes. You nodding? So I have to get out of my head and into my hands. How you going to do that? I have a ton of inventory that I already have done, but none of it's on my etc shop. Because I get stuck like it has to be. The perfect description has to be the perfect picture or nobody will buy it. And how do I do all the stuff? So I just have to just put out there. So when you hear that now, when you hear that perfection and lovable as it enough, but well, but now what do you do now, do you know where that's coming from, um how are we dealing with that now how do you like doing voices now I'm saying ok vampire voice I hear you but it's part of my personality type two that's harder so I accepted acknowledge it and then I'm just gonna push through it just thank you, vampire but I don't believe you anymore goodbye. Yeah, but by god I'll put this stuff on etc so that your celebration I could sit on the couch with a glass of wine watch my shows with my daughter that's what? We know you're going to get us yes, yes. Allow that. Who else? Jenna uh at this point I think I need to do a day for maybe tomorrow because alone somewhere maybe go to golden gate park thing but that I just have so many notes I want them all in one spot and I want to organize them so tastic. So that's what you know your next step is gonna be is to give yourself your own session for a great dream career which is like whatever you need to do to get yourself in that head space to do that. Fantastic great. Anyone coming up on the chat? Yes, absolutely. Beth so fierce saying I have decided that tomorrow is my deadline to finish a project I've been intending to so ah love it on amanda how was saying?

Maybe I'm going to go to google and ask, you know, teaching courses or something like that, and so I could see the ways of doing it. And then number two is how dowe I want to teach I'm looking at the different ways of doing that, I don't know and then deadlines and then prizes and a big celebration at the end and the celebration could be, you know, either the fancy thing you're going to go to macy's and treat yourself to the shoes that you've been looking at.

This class was sooo incredibly fun and inspiring. It was wonderful to meet Michelle and interact with her in person. She is warm, kind, approachable and genuinely passionate about helping creatives find a career they can love. Having been raised to believe that the only route to a secure retirement was to find a job with a pension or, at least, a good 401k, this class gave me the courage to believe that I could do work I love and still finance a fabulous life in retirement. It also put things in perspective because it helped me to see that I deserve to be happy as much as anyone else who has carved a successful niche for themselves doing work they feel good about. And, it reminded me that if I try something and discover it isn't the right fit, the worse that can happen is that I go find that job with a pension at that point. So what? Why not me? Amen! xoxo, Jen

My dad used to tell me, "You don't get to do what you love. You just learn to love what you do." For years and years, I've been wandering from job to job wondering why I just wasn't feeling the love, no matter how much I learned to be good at what I do. Although, I tried to resign myself to the idea that work would always be something to dread day in and day out, I couldn't help but day dream about the elusive "perfect" job! I searched for years for tests or counselors who could help give me some direction as to what I would be good at and just before I lost hope, I found this class. I snuck it in during work on my cellphone (shh don't tell lol) and was running back to my desk when I had to be pulled away. It's nice to know someone understands what I've been going through and Michelle's energy is just so positive and motivating that I know that I can make things happen! I watched the free live broadcast but even before the end of day 1 I knew this class was a resource I'll gladly pay for! I would and have recommended this class to many people I know feel the same way I do! Changed my life! We're not made to fit into a mold so why not create your dream career! My review in one word? Amazeballs!

I purchased this course and made sure to finish it before 2015 started. It was so easy to go through the course and I made sure to be diligent in actually doing the activities and homework. I never knew there were other MULTI-PASSIONATE out there like me! I thought I was just a confused human being who needs to figure out her life! Haha! Michelle's energy and passion to help others are so eminent in the way she presents and guides us. I love the setting of Creative Live as well because I felt involved with the studio audience despite having to watch these sessions by myself. :) I learned so much about myself, about how I can incorporate my multiple interests into a unique ball of career perfectly molded for me, by me. All thanks to the help and wisdom of Michelle's experiences and talents. What a great end of 2014 and a great way to start 2015! THIS COURSE IS WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY. :)


Betting On The Belmont Stakes – Can Big Brown Go The Distance?
bet on him to win the 2008 Belmont Stakes? It is simple, indeed: major Brown has won the first two stones, he's quick, he is powerful, he has outstanding endurance and divine determination. But above all he's got the core of the champion – a Triple Crown winner.
When major Brown burst outside of the gates at the 2008 Kentucky Derby and hauled away the area at Churchill Downs to triumph by 4 3/4 spans in excess of second-place finisher Eight Belles — we watched in awe. After he left a repeat operation at the 2008 Preakness Stakes, this time around completing 5 1/4 lengths in front of long haul Macho Again — we stumbled and all of us cheered because we all knew this was really a special moment.
Huge Brown can be just a significant deal – he has the actual thing สล็อต 888.
So what when he's got a crack in his or her caked? (It has been repaired and based to trainer Rick Dutrow he's like new.) Exactly what exactly will people do when Big Brown wins the 2008 Belmont Stakes? Just what will people do if he doesn't?
Even the oddson preferred to get the Belmont Stakes, huge Brown must instinctively know this second race goes to be his biggest.
Oddson favorites to win the Belmont Stakes have absent 12-for-30 as well as the past 5 horses have been conquered. If huge Brown will win that one he will come to be only the 12th Triple Crown winner at the history of American racing racing.
Funny Cide finished 3rd in the 2003 Belmont Stakes.
True Quiet finished 2nd in the 1998 Belmont Stakes.
Silver Charm Completed 2nd at the 1997 Belmont Stakes.
Alysheba completed 4th in the 1987 Belmont Stakes.
Enjoyable Colony finished Third in the 1981 Belmont Stakes.
Stunning Bid finished Third at the 1979 Belmont Stakes.
Critics and odds-makers say that the field of horses competing to the Belmont Stakes isn't quite as challenging since they're in days gone by; this because of his sheer dimensions and durability, a winning bet on major Brown sounds easy enough for its newcomer horse handicapper.
But you shouldn't be too fast to rule one out of massive Brown's major competitions: Casino travel.
Casino Push comes from the same mare (Better Than Honour) since the last two Belmont Stakes champions — Jazil along with Rags to Riches — he won the £200,000 Peter Pan Stakes by 5 3/4 lengths, covering the 1 1/8 miles track at Belmont Park at 1:47.87 and getting a Beyer Speed Figure of 101. With that kind of record, you would believe that Casino travel could make short work of the 1 1/2 miles squared dirt trail put outside in front of him at the upcoming Belmont Stakes.
Even with huge Brown kicking dirt from his face?
Jockey Kent Desmoreaux, the American thoroughbred horseracing Hall of Fame jockey who holds the U.S. album for the majority of races won in one single year, will once again be riding Big Brown on race afternoon, June 7th. Getting won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes atop major Brown, " Desmoreaux understands what this exceptional horse is capable of doing. Ironically, Desmoreaux was additionally the successful man who rode Casino Push to victory in the Peter Pan Stakes. None the less, Desmoreaux stands firm on his decision after asked which is the horse – Casino travel or even major Brown.

Q: Generate pandas Dataframe with values as comma separated Generating dataframe with comma separated values in pandas python
   arr1 = ['a','b','c']
   arr2 = ['1','2','3']
   data = { 'A': arr1, 'B': arr2 }
   df = pd.DataFrame(data)
   blank = [''] * len(arr1)
   df.index = blank
   return df

returns the output
A  B
a  1
b  2
c  3

I want the result returned like the below
A,B
a,1
b,2
c,3

Is there anyway to do this using Dataframe ?
note: Do not want to print data, need to return this as output from the function.

A: If you want a single column, why do you build a DataFrame with two?
df = pd.DataFrame({'A,B': arr1})
df['A,B'] += ','
df['A,B'] += arr2

Or:
df = pd.DataFrame({'A,B':[f'{a},{b}' for a,b in zip(arr1, arr2)]})

output:
   A,B
0  a,1
1  b,2
2  c,3
