Q: Need to skip line containing "Value Error" I'm trying to extract some legacy data from a Teradata server, but some of the records contain weird characters that don't register in python, such as "U+ffffffc2".
Currently,

*

*I'm using pyodbc to extract the data from Teradata

*Placing the results into a numpy array (because when I put it directly into pandas, It interprets all of the columns as a single column of type string)

*Then I turn the numpy array into a pandas dataframe to change things like Decimal("09809") and Date("2015,11,14") into [09809,"11,14,2015"]

*Then I try to write it to a file, where this error occurs
ValueError: character U+ffffffc2 is not in range [U+0000; U+10ffff]
I don't have access to edit this data, so from a client perspective what can I do to skip or, preferably, remove the character before writing it trying to write it to a file and getting the error?
Currently, I have a "try and except" block to skip queries with erroneous data, but I have to query the data in row chunks of at least 100. So if I just skip it, I lose 100 or more lines at a time. As I mentioned before, however, I would prefer to keep the line, but remove the character.
Here's my code. (Feel free to point out any bad practices as well!)

Thanks,

A: If you have only 4-byte unicode points giving an error, this probably may help.
One solution is to register a custom error handler using codecs.register_error, which would filter out error points and then just try to decode:
import codecs

def error_handler(error):
    return '', error.end+6

codecs.register_error('nonunicode', error_handler)

b'abc\xffffffc2def'.decode(errors='nonunicode')
# gives you 'abcdef' which's exactly what you want

You may futher impove your handler to catch more complicated errors, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#UnicodeError and https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#codecs.register_error for details

More than three-quarters of business economists expect the U.S. to enter a recession by the end of 2021, though a majority still estimate the Federal Reserve will continue raising interest rates this year.
10% saw a recession beginning this year, 42% project one next year, while 25% expect a contraction starting in 2021, according to a semiannual National Association for Business Economics (NABE) survey. The rest expect a recession later than 2021 or expressed no opinion, the January 30-February 8 poll of nearly 300 members showed.
NABE members were divided on the impact of the Fed's balance sheet normalization process. Asked about the effect of the tightening on short-term funding rates, a fifth said saw no impact, a fifth said it would raise rates by 25 basis points, and a fifth said said they would rise 50 basis points or more. The remaining respondents didn't know or express an opinion.
A plurality of 23% expected the Fed to raise the main rate 50 basis points to 3% before beginning to cut rates. 11% said the next rate move will be an easing.

Enterprise Imaging Insights: Top Minds Share Their Perspectives
By Ken Congdon, content marketing manager, Hyland Healthcare.
Ken Congdon
Each year, Hyland Healthcare conducts focus groups with HIMSS members representing top healthcare provider organizations. The interactive, in-depth discussions always reveal powerful insights we can use to improve our solutions.
This year's topic was enterprise imaging. We wanted to gain a better understanding of the drivers, strategies, challenges and desires healthcare leaders have in this area.
Healthcare evolution, innovation boost enterprise imaging demand
Consensus from the group seemed to indicate that the evolution of healthcare in general is driving the demand for enterprise imaging. For example, increased consolidation, partner collaboration and merger and acquisition activity are creating imaging environments that are complex and extremely difficult to manage. It becomes problematic, expensive and risky to attempt to manage and maintain multiple silos of imaging data throughout all of these locations.
"The acquisition of outpatient imaging centers combined with the disparate imaging silos we already have internally creates a lot of waste," said Peter Overeem, CTO of Adventist Healthcare. "Several efficiencies can be gained by bringing all our images — both inpatient and outpatient — together into one consolidated system."
Furthermore, it was agreed upon that PACS is a dated technology that is centered on radiology and cardiology, and likely not the best equipped to handle the centralized management of images throughout an enterprise.
"With the advancement of AI, we need to start adopting enterprise tools," said Michael Knopp, MD, professor and director at Ohio State University. "We can't maintain an environment where everyone has their own departmental solution. PACS vendors are focused on specific niches and are fairly slow to add new innovations that benefit the enterprise. The solutions you implement today need to be capable of adapting and innovating at a much faster pace."
One-size does not always fit all
The demand for enterprise imaging tools was clear from the group. However, participants also communicated several challenges and roadblocks when it comes to implementing solutions that satisfy the needs of all the stakeholders involved.
"We can't get the different imaging-centric departments to agree on one technology platform that meets everyone's needs," said Overeem. "What one person likes, another hates. We're concerned about implementing an enterprise solution that causes some departments to settle for a less optimal solution for their specialty."
The concerns around enterprise solutions being less specialized are mainly rooted in utilization. If the users in one department find a new enterprise system to be less effective or valuable for their specific area of expertise, then they might not embrace it, which could lead to a failed implementation.
While some focus group participants saw this roadblock as a matter of clinical preference, others placed the blame squarely on the vendor community.
"I have yet to find a viewer that meets the needs of both general clinicians and specialists like radiologists, cardiologists and pathologists. These stakeholders could care less about technical buzzwords like zero-footprint viewing or server-side rendering. They just want a viewer that works for them and works well," said Richard Mohnk, VP and CIO at Bayhealth.
Enterprise imaging key to improving care, cutting costs
Challenges undoubtedly exist that still need to be overcome, but the group conceded that the value of enterprise imaging was worth the effort and headaches. The key enterprise imaging benefits communicated by participants fell into two main categories — clinical and economic/operational.
"There is tremendous clinical value in enterprise imaging," said Mony Weschler, chief innovations officer at InnovaCare Health. "Images need to be compared across specialties. Clinical stakeholders need to have easy access to all images from a single viewer. It improves clinical workflows, decision-making and patient care."
The economic and operational benefits of enterprise imaging includes streamlined infrastructure management as well as consolidated control of images outside of radiology and cardiology. In fact, some participants were able to cost-justify an enterprise imaging investment through the subsequent decommissioning of multiple PACS.
"There's no value in maintaining multiple PACS," said Weschler. "In fact, there's danger in that. With enterprise imaging you can consolidate the cost of the imaging infrastructure. You can also provide a higher level of support to one system as opposed to 27. This enhanced level of support and the fact that you're now feeding one system also helps improve data integrity. It makes it easier for you to keep your databases clean."
Turns out, top minds think alike. And they all agree that enterprise imaging is the future of healthcare.

As internet access and use increase exponentially, pedagogical practice becomes increasingly embedded in online platforms. We report on an online initiative of engaged student learning, the peer-led, staff-assisted e-helpdesk for research methods and statistics, which we evaluated and redeveloped using the lens and guiding principles of the framework for partnership in learning and teaching of the Higher Education Academy (HEA). The aim of the redevelopment was to steer the initiative towards a more integrative and sustainable implementation, as manifest in the applied construct of an online partnership learning community. Our evolving experience of the e-helpdesk highlighted the central role of the facilitator in engineering and maintaining social presence in the online community. We propose an extended model for building an online partnership learning community, whereby partnership encapsulates all the essential elements of student and staff partnership as outlined in the HEA framework, but is also critically defined by similar parameters of partnership between users and facilitators. In this model, the facilitator's role becomes more involved in instructional teaching as disciplinary expertise increases, but descending levels of disciplinary expertise can foster ascending levels of independent learning and shared discovery for both users and facilitators.

Riverside City College Athletics holds virtual workouts to stay in shape
May 13, 2020 · by Viewpoints	· in Athletics, Sports.	·
By Jair Ramirez
Riverside City College athletes have found ways to maintain contact through the pandemic's campus closure with online workouts, social media and different apps.
"Through Canvas Online we put our workouts and then have them take videos of their workouts," said Tom Craft, RCC football coach. "We want our players to video their workouts and then send them in to us on canvas because we're trying to stay in touch with them. It's really kind of a creative process."
With many of the city's parks and fields closed, it has been a challenge for players to practice on their own.
"They don't have access to gyms so we got to try and do the running, push ups, sit ups, get two buckets with a broom handle," Craft said.
"It's been good. Our quarterbacks have been trying to go out and throw when they get access to a field — not at RCC obviously — and we had some of our receivers throw with our quarterback."
The RCC women's beach volleyball team is communicating via text messaging and Facetime to arrange training.
"We're having them run three miles three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday," said Elizabeth Younglove, a beach volleyball associate.
The team switches up its workouts, focusing on agility Tuesdays and Thursdays, Younglove said.
Other RCC coaches explained how this has affected recruiting in both negative and positive ways. Although not meeting with future athletes and their families is tough, coaches say they have gotten athletes to commit, even ones they did not think they had a chance to sign.
"We have Zoom meetings with our returning players and Zoom meetings with our recruits," Craft said. "When we have a Zoom meeting with four coaches; it's like four coaches doing a home visit.
Baseball coach Rudy Arguelles explained how the recruiting process has been difficult.
"We're a hands on group and we have a hands on approach when we have that opportunity,"Arguelles said.
"Either going out on visits, out on a recruiting trail or when recruits, parents and family come to visit the campus. There's nothing like having that in person opportunity of communication."
It is still unclear how the possibility of instruction being online in the fall will affect sports.
Sporting events could be delayed, canceled or continued as planned.
"I think we should first consider everybody's safety and see where we are in this pandemic," said Doug Finfrock, RCC Women's Water Polo coach.
"We'll have to wait and see what the California Community College Athletic Association decides. If we're going to push back the season or open it up early, I think there's a lot of scenarios out there," said Craft.

The Brother MFC-3420c doesn't outshine the competition in every category, but it is the most well-rounded of the bunch, turning in more than acceptable text, graphics, and photos at speeds you can live with and a price you can afford.
With a 20-sheet ADF (automatic document feeder), built-in fax modem, and front-panel controls that let it work as a standalone fax machine and copier, the MFC-3420c is a full-function unit. It also offers a separate cartridge for each of the four colors, which helps lower the cost per page. Although photos printed a little slowly on our performance tests, the MFC-3420c showed good speeds for text and graphics. On our business applications suite, the MFC-3420c was the fastest unit, claiming first or second place on 9 of the 13 individual tests, and first place in overall time, at 20 minutes 24 seconds. For the photo suite, however, it averaged 4 minutes for each 4- by 6-inch photo, and 9:32 for each 8-by-10.
Output quality rated very good for text and graphics and just short of that for photos. Cost per page was 2.6 cents per monochrome page, the second best in this group, but 15.1 cents per color page, the third most expensive.
If you're looking for a photo printer that also handles text and graphics reasonably well, the MFC-3420c isn't your best choice. But if you print mostly from standard business applications and just need some decent photos from time to time, this one is perfect.

MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE IS TOUGH.
You think maybe a little help would go a long way?
Delivering services to often large and diverse populations requires having a keen understanding of how all the moving parts are working (or not working together). With a mandate to provide those services in a fair and efficient manner you need to utilize new tools and ways of thinking. Technology plays a large part in making that happen, but it also requires understanding HOW to introduce technology into your processes, while at the same time ensuring that the human side of your work is not lost or ignored.
Much of your work focuses directly on advancing better thinking and decision-making. You are tasked with producing reports and studies for a wide variety of audiences. Or you are focused on advancing a particular agenda and need to inform and persuade. In either case, you must ensure that you are asking the right questions, being honest in your analysis, and being as effective as you can in communicating your positions.
Where Does Instinct Fit In?
We can be your hidden counselor and confidant, or we can work out in the open directly with you and others in your institutions as needed. The first step is being open to new ideas.
NOTE: Instinct isn't just an online partner. If you have projects that are better suited for onsite visits, we are happy to board a plane or train and work with you face to face. We can discuss that during our free, no-risk initial conversation with you.
Instinct is a method of thinking that can be applied to the work you do. It scales with the needs you have. As such we can start with narrowly focused efforts or conversations and build up as needed. We build our relationships with clients based on time.

Politicians and scientific bodies have moved to reassure the scientific community that despite the vote to leave the European Union, British science will still be "open for business" to the rest of the world.
However, they also said that the free movement of people throughout Europe was important for British science, and that it would be extremely difficult to square that need with the wishes expressed in the referendum.
Jo Johnson, the science minister, and Nicola Blackwood, the chair of the Commons science and technology committee, both acknowledged that the vote would have a negative impact, but said that Britain would remain a world-class centre for science nonetheless.
During Parliamentary Links Day, a meeting between scientists and politicians at the House of Commons, Johnson, whose brother Boris led the Leave campaign, said that while the overwhelming majority of scientists had backed Remain, he now asked them "to think, as I am thinking, about how we best move forward, to minimise the damage and maximise the opportunities that might arise. It was a momentous decision and now we've got to make it work."

Blackwood added: "I'm sure most of you shared my shock that, despite the clear evidence of the economic and diplomatic risks, the majority voted for Brexit.
"However, I do not believe that rending our garments will protect our world class scientific system."
She said it was "very important to keep access to the single market," but that the referendum had revealed that free movement – a requirement for maintaining that access – was not a popular option. She said "creative" solutions were needed, although she didn't have any specific answers. "If I knew how to fix the immigration problem, I'd be prime minister by now."
Blackwood suggested that one idea might be to stop counting foreign students as part of the immigration statistics. "That's common sense," she said.
She also called on the Treasury to "step in" if the UK lost EU science funding for a period. "It's important that they do that," she said. Unrelatedly, a senior European Commission official has reassured British scientists that the European funding stream Horizon 2020 will remain available to British research at least until the end of negotiations.
Several senior scientists and Blackwood condemned the various racist hate crimes that have taken place since the referendum. Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, the president of the Royal Society, said: "A disproportionate number of fellows of the Royal Society and British Nobel laureates are foreign-born. Immigrants have made a huge contribution to British science.

"So it is distressing to see the tenor of the anti-immigration debate, and the violence of the last few days. One of our greatest assets is our reputation as an open and welcoming society [and if we lose it] we will not be able to compete globally for the best talent."
Robert Parker, CEO of the Royal Society of Chemistry, said: "We have a responsibility to make a stand against the xenophobia that has raised its head. Even at our office in Cambridge we've had members of our staff told to 'go home', and that makes me sick to my stomach."
Blackwood said: "I don't think it's a vote for isolationism; Trump doesn't have a fifth column in Sunderland. I believe that the vast majority of Britons are not racist or xenophobic." She insisted that EU scientists living in the UK are still valued: "This vote was not saying that you are not welcome here. Quite the opposite. Your skills are much needed."
Johnson said that he had already reassured EU students in the country, and those applying to join universities this autumn, that they would have access to the student loan system until the end of their studies.

Kai Hansen left Helloween after the release of the successful Keeper Of The Seven Keys II album and together with Ralf Scheepers formed Gamma Ray in 1989. Hansen had left Helloween due to interpersonal difficulties with guitarist Michael Weikath and a dislike for touring which had made his stay unbearable. In fact, in early Gamma Ray interviews, he would hint that the band would not be touring much. Uwe Wessels and drummer Matthias Burchardt completed the band and the act signed with Noise as Hansen was already tied to the label via Helloween.
The debut features Uli Kusch and maintains Hansen's trademark speed metal style. It also featured songs written for Helloween. Surprisingly the band sold 250,000 copies without much effort. The rhythm section was changed in 1993 (Kusch ended up in Helloween!) and was followed by Scheepers' departure who not only was having personal problems with Hansen but had also secretly applied for the Judas Priest vocalist slot. Hansen returned to his role as the singer (similar to the early Helloween days) and Noise released Land Of The Free. Schlachter switched to bass and the band moved on to Somewhere Out In Space.
Hansen had also spent a couple of years in the Iron Savior side project before leaving due to a lack of time. Halfway through its 1999 German tour Gamma Ray vocalist Kai Hansen experienced problems with his vocals resulting in the cancellation of two shows. Following a earthquake in Greece, the promoter for the Gamma Ray tour decided to postpone the shows out of fear of a similar occurrence. In 2000 Gamma Ray released a two-disc compilation called Blast From The Past featuring new and old songs resung by Hansen. The band announced its first American date as support for Blind Guardian at Prog Power festival in November of 2002. Simultaneously band and label began re-releasing the band's albums with bonus songs. Henjo Richter was injured on a ferry from Sweden to Finland after falling down a set of stairs in early 2006. He was temporarily replaced by Kasperi Heikkinen from the Finnish Gamma Ray tribute band Guardians Of Mankind. Gamma Ray's next album was called Land Of The Free Part II and was issued by the band's new label, SPV. The CD was a concept piece and the follow-up to 1995's Land Of The Free disc. The new album, which was issued in November, contained 65 minutes of music and was supported via a tour with Helloween, which was the former home of Gamma Ray founder Kai Hansen. Helloween and Gamma Ray were touring North America together in October, 2008. The band issued a DVD called Hell Yeah – The Awesome Four culled from footage filmed in Montreal, Canada. Gamma Ray released a new album, To The Metal, on January 29th, 2010 through earMUSIC/Edel. A limited edition version featured a 60-minute DVD. Gamma Ray was touring Japan in March. The band's schedule also forced drummer Zimmerman to make a choice and leave Freedom Call in order to dedicate himself to Gamma Ray. Due to a retinal detachment, Gamma Ray guitarist Henjo Richter was hospitalized in March, 2010 and underwent surgery on March 16th. The band cancelled several shows in Germany. Kasperi Heikkinen of Amberian Dawn and the Finnish Gamma Ray cover band Guardians Of Mankind was a temporary replacement for Henjo Richter. Gamma Ray singer and guitarist Kai Hansen would perform with Avantasia on its tour of Europe in November and December of 2010. In support of its studio album To The Metal!, Gamma Ray would perform five shows at the start of 2011 in North America. These began in NYC on the 28th of January. Set for release in the US and Canada on May 31st of 2011 through Armoury Records/Eagle Rock Entertainment, Skeletons & Majesties was a collection of songs the band had gathered from previous albums represented in two completely different styles. There was a karaoke style song, a rare track called Wannabees from the To The Metal 7" and several rarities. Former Helloween and subsequently Unisonic singer Michael Kiske joined his Unisonic band-mate and Gamma Ray frontman Kai Hansen at Gamma Ray's concert on April 28th, 2011 at the Zeche club in Bochum, Germany and performed three songs, Future World, A While In Dreamland and Time To Break Free. Guitarist Henjo Richter was forced to not be a part of the band's appearance on the Sweden Rock Cruise in October of 2011. He had a bike accident. The band was forging ahead. Gamma Ray parted ways with drummer Dan Zimmermann in the summer of 2012 and replaced him with Michael Ehré (Firewind, Uli Jon Roth, Metalium, etc.). Gamma Ray would unleash Skeletons & Majesties Live as a two-CD package in December of 2012 through Eagle Rock imprint Armoury Records. Set for North American release on December 4th, 2012, Skeletons & Majesties Live was a near two-hour album spanning the band's history. A DVD version would be released in January, 2013. Skeletons & Majesties Live was recorded and filmed during the band's 2011 European tour at the Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland. Gamma Ray would release a new EP entitled Master Of Confusion on March 15th, 2013 through earMUSIC. A full-length, called Empire Of The Undead, was due later in that year through earMUSIC. Empire Of The Undead was out in 2014. The title track had appeared on the single/EP Master Of Confusion, which was released in 2013 and served as precursor to the forthcoming full-length. In addition to Kai Hansen the band recruited Frank Beck, who had worked with the band since 2014, to be the band's second vocalist. The move freed up band founder Hansen to put less stress on his vocals.
Helloween was rejoined by '80s' members singer Michael Kiske and guitarist Kai Hansen for a world tour in 2017 and 2018. Using the Pumpkins United monicker, the tour would also feature Helloween singer Andi Deris and guitarist Sascha Gerstner performing songs from throughout the band's catalogue. Unity was a new project founded by guitarist Henjo Richter and drummer Michael Ehré of Gamma Ray. The band signed a deal with Steamhammer/SPV and is recording its debut album for an early 2017 release.
GAMMA RAY - NO WORLD ORDER - NOISE
No World Order, Gamma Ray's seventh studio album, has turned out splendidly despite a distinct lack of lead guitar work throughout the songs. Past a Sci-fi/fantasy cover and a full jacket the band has gotten a bombastic sound to match mostly pure speed metal songs. The album is a pleaser and even approaches Walls Of Jericho (my favourite Helloween album) speeds and vocal pitches. The album is a concept and as is usual for Gamma Ray quite up-beat and fluently fast. Having stated the obvious, for a band in business for over 10 years and staffed with musicians with 20 years of experience, the bands influences are overt and protruding. While the album intro is unbridled Queen, The Heart Of The Unicorn is unashamedly Judas Priest. Further down the list, track seven (Solid) is again bluntly ripping off Judas Priest song Rapid Fire. The riffs and the vocal phrasings are identical. On track eight, Fire Below, listening to the 3:00 minute mark reveals an imitated Iron Maiden melody and track ten is a song off Rob Halford's solo album of last year. There are more examples but you get the point. The clear presence of Queen, Queensryche, Iron Maiden (notice the album's title and the referred to song New World Order on the album), Judas Priest and Halford has gone beyond mere influence. I wonder if the band is aware to what extent its wearing its influences on its sleeve? - Ali "The Metallian"
GAMMA RAY - LAND OF THE FREE II - SPV
Although there does not seem to be much of a connection between Land Of The Free II and Land Of The Free I which came out around 1995 (aside from some vague musical inspiration) this new album is probably the best thing the German irradiators could have recorded. Following the newly minted trend of rehashing titles or concepts (Helloween, Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche, Testament, etc.) Gamma Ray has put together a long album with thirteen tracks that is full of band trademarks. In other words, Accept, Rainbow, Iron Maiden and even UDO are well represented. It is understood that there are several references to old Helloween on the album as well. Rain has a different bass sound and is grittier than the usual Gamma Ray stuff. On Leaving Hell the vocals sound like Phil Lynott. Kai Hansen does not have the high screams anymore although he maintains a good sense of melody. Leaving Hell is too simple though. It has a poppy chorus and simple lyrics, which is just like on the song When The World. Incidentally, did anyone notice the title Empress and the similarity of the song's music to Accept's Princess Of The Dawn? Overall however the headbangers with the long hair have served their fans with a cool album with cooler solos and instantly pleasing melodies. - Sheila Wes Det
GAMMA RAY - HELL YEAH!!! THE AWESOME FOURSOME (2DVD) - SPV
This double DVD's first features a May 2006 live recording in Montreal. The set list covers earliest songs like The Silence and Dreamhealer from Heading For Tomorrow and Sigh No More respectively to Land Of The Free, Beyond The Blackhole, and Send Me A Sign from the second half of the '90s and to more recent songs like New World Order. The musicianship is as proficient as expected and the visual quality is good albeit a few silly video effects. The stage presence is minimal in so far as a typical heavy metal band goes and is instead filled mostly with smiles and jokes including one scene where Kai Hansen drinks whisky from a bottle not because it's a 'rock star' thing as he says but because it was given to the band by a fan who asked for it to be drank on stage. What is even less rock star cliché perhaps is that Dirk Schlachter and Daniel Zimmerman, the bassist and drummer respectively, do not even take a sip and instead pass the bottle to the roadies. The second DVD is over two hours of Wacken clips with five songs form the 2003 and 2006 editions, footage from a Melbourne show, a commercial MTV-ish 'Unplugged In Japan' section, a German (with English subtitles) 'Road Movie', and a documentary of the band's 2006 'Majestic' North American tour which includes all the tour bus and getting lost on the way stuff one expects plus various other scenes from Montreal to New York and all the way to Los Angeles. One particular highlight of the documentary is the band's visit to an 'everything for a dollar' store and the amusement that the band seems to derive from their visit to it. Also included is a German only 'Historay' segment filled with studio footage from 1994 and on. In one press conference footage Kai confesses to not being too interested in seeing a live DVD performance, but instead relishing the chance to seeing the extras, like documentaries and interviews, that show others sides of the musicians involved. Plenty of that here. - Anna Tergel
GAMMA RAY - TO THE METAL - EDEL
Gamma Ray's To The Metal is the band's strongest release and a surprise given how it is the Germans twelfth album. The band claims to be attempting a merger of the modern with the traditional and, whatever modern sounds there are, it is a success. To The Metal is not perfect - just note the puzzling album title - but an exciting heavy metal album that deserves position attention nonetheless.
So, what lurks within? Shine Forever begins with a thrashy kick and a loud bass presence. The Painkiller-like vocals intermingle with Kai Hansen's standard voice. Its precursor is Mother Angel and combines harshness, catchiness with guitar solos and synthesizers... screech halt... synthesizers? Yes, the bane of many an album appears here in rhythmic capacity more than once. Thankfully, the album has speed, guitars and power. Chasing Shadows, true to its name, negates some of the guitars with synthesizers. No Need To Cry is the album's closing cut where the Gamma ones bring in acoustic guitars and twisting chords. Empathy and All You Need To Know are hard, heavy, and replete with guitar solos designed to attract metal mavens. Time To Live would have been a good album were it not for the damned keyboards. To The Metal! Is the band's anthemic and catchy title track. The track works. It is simple, loud and full of guitars. It takes one back to Accept's Balls To The Walls and Judas Priest's British Steel material. In fact, much on the album borrows from Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time, Priest, Accept and even UDO's Holy era. Not bad comparisons these. - Ali "The Metallian"

Not many people admit to believe in "bad luck" once they see a black cat, but the truth is that these cute felines are the last ones to be adopted at shelters.
Did you know that this superstition comes from the Middle Age? When witch-hunt was at its boom, in the United States and in some south European areas, cats started being identified to the bad, to dark activities and, in general, to witchcraft. Because of this, black cats were hunted and burned on the fires.
In Italy, many years ago people believed that if a black cat goes to an ill person´s bed, this person will die.
But this has not always been like this. In Egypt, for example, cats were adored and mummified with their owners. Were Romans the ones that, from Egypt, introduce them to Europe, where they were recognised as good luck animals. In places where there was no witch-hunting, black cats kept their good luck image; and they are still like this at Great Britain and Ireland.
For example, in Victorian England if a black cat passed in front of a couple about to get married it was a sign of happiness and fertility. In Scotland, a strange black cat at someone's porch is a sign of prosperity.
Besides these places, in some other cultures like the Czech, romanian, especially at the historic region of Moldavia, and in India, most of the people believes that if a black cat crosses in front of you it represents bad luck, besides that this regions were never affected by witch-hunt or anti-paganism.
It hasn't also helped black cats imagine what movies and tv have shown. Let´s remember "The black cat" of Edgar Allan Poe (and all the film and tv versions) or the cynical Salem in "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Bikram: The Original Hot Yoga
Bikram Yoga is the Sequence of 26 postures selected and developed by Bikram Choudhury from Hatha Yoga. The postures are carried out over 90 minutes in a heated room.
Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury is the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India™. Born in Calcutta in 1946, Bikram began Yoga at the age of four with India's most-renowned physical culturist at that time, Bishnu Ghosh, the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda (Author of the most popular book on Yoga, The Autobiography of a Yogi, and founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles).
Bikram practiced Yoga at least four to six hours every day at Ghosh's College of Physical Education in Calcutta. At the age of thirteen, he won the National India Yoga Championship. He was undefeated for the following three years and retired as the undisputed All-India National Yoga Champion.
At seventeen, an injury to his knee during a weight-lifting accident brought the prediction from leading European doctors that he would never walk again. Not accepting their pronouncement, he had himself carried back to Bishnu Ghosh's school, for he knew that if anyone could help to heal his knee, it was his teacher. Six months later, his knee had totally recovered. Ghosh was a celebrated physical culturist and the first to scientifically document Yoga's ability to cure chronic physical ailments and heal the body.
Bikram later on devised the Sequence of 26 postures, which work irrespective of age groups. These 26 postures have a profound healing power on your body and mind.
Bikram Choudhury first developed the Sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises in India in order to treat health problems for many people at once. He recognized the therapeutic value of Hatha Yoga for common health problems, but did not have enough time in the day to successfully treat each person, as there are 84 original postures one could learn. Through resilient research, Bikram calculated that it took these specific 26 postures to systematically work every part of the body, to give all the internal organs, all the veins, all the ligaments, and all the muscles everything they need to maintain optimum health and maximum function. Each component takes care of something different in the body, and they all work together in synergy, contributing to the success of every other one, and extending its benefits. The Sequence flushes away the waste products, the toxins of all the glands and organs of the body. It provides a natural irrigation of the body through the circulatory system, with the help of the respiratory system.

Freshers' 15. We've all been there.
Uni is a tough time for your bod. You've had one too many late night kebabs, the only 5-a-day you're getting is a dubious "fruit" flavoured cocktail from spoons, and you've spent most of today in bed. Sound familiar? I mean it does to me.
It can be difficult to stay fit and healthy whilst at uni, especially if you have a lot of contact hours and not enough money for the "cheap" uni gym that pretty much cost an arm and a leg to stand outside of.
So, here are a few ways we recommend you stay in tip top shape at uni.
If you're prone to snacking throughout the day, then maybe switch up your usual cereal for something more protein filled. Protein will help you fill fuller until lunch, so will stop you from caving and buying those pickled onion monster munch before your 9am lecture. Seriously, nobody wants to sit next to you after those things. Check out these awesome high-protein breakfasts from @whygowithout to help inspire you.
So, although gym memberships at uni do tend to be a bit of a stretch, most unis offer some really awesome classes for a reduced price in societies.
Plenty of unis have loads of different societies you could join for waaaay cheaper than a gym membership, for example Yoga, Pole Fitness, Aerobics + loads of different team sports.
If you choose to become a part of a society you'll probably make loads of awesome new friends too who will help keep you motivated to keep coming back and stay healthy. Sorted.


Remove an outdated audio-visual control room system including multiple breakout rooms and replace these legacy systems with a state-of-the-art fully integrated replacement.
Work closely with the customer and consultant to value engineer the system in order to take advantage of the latest in A/V technologies.
Developed a very complex fully integrated control system and intuitive User Interface.
DNG assigned two project managers, two senior audio-visual engineers, a broadcast engineer and numerous senior technicians to complete this very large six month ambitious undertaking. When DNG was completed, five full height racks were interconnected with the finest audio/visual and related equipment available to meet the needs of the customer.
Digital Networks Group was the apparent winner of this project in 2012, but due to the economic climate of the period, AQMD elected not to proceed with the project. DNG subsequently participated in and was awarded the same project in 2014, not because DNG was the lowest cost, but because DNG was deemed the best qualified.


Probably the most unusual aspects of a Herman Miller Aeron Chair is its sizing. Aeron Recliners are available in three sizes, A, B and C. Size B covers the vast majority of persons (around 90%) with 'A' covering the very smallest percentile and 'C' covering the most significant, heavier percentile. The positive area of this is that the dimensions for the chair are scaled based on size as is the weight control for the tilt and the chairs are suitable for a much broader selection of people than many other chair. One negative aspect, and there are hardly any, is that the chair relies on the three sizes for seat interesting depth. There is no seat depth adaptation facility on the chair. Arm rest height is adjusted within the Aeron Chair via two levers on the rear of every arm or, on a lot of chairs, these levers happen to be replaced by wheels. Forearms have a good range of resetting and move very easily. Wrist pads are pivoting when standard, although it is possible to order fixed (non-pivoting) give pads if required. The moment positioned inwards, they offer good support for keyboard work and when positioned straight or slightly outwards, they are suitable for mouse or general do the job. Arm pads are huge and well padded.

After trying to upload a 40 minute video to Youtube a couple of times, growing increasingly frustrated and, frankly, hateful against Youtube, I paid up for a Vimeo Pro account, and boy, was that well spent money. Youtube is nothing but pain and frustration. Vimeo simply works.
Yes, I know about verified Youtube accounts, but even after verifying it, it rejects my video as "too long" after an eight hour upload. It didn't save it, but had me retry the entire upload again (yes, I'm on a pathetic 2Mbit/s uplink). Vimeo succeeded on first try.
Can't recommend dumping Youtube and going for Vimeo enough. At least if you value your time and sanity higher than the price. I do.


Had these calipers and rotors for a while but finally got the chance over the weekend to have them installed.
The install was pretty straight forward and the calipers was a direct bolt on. The only modification that was required was that a part of the hub had to be grinded off in order for the rotors to fit.
The difference in braking power is worth it in my opinion. I hope to change the brake cylinder to a camry one in the future.
So I was finally able to wrap up my auto to manual conversion and take the car for a drive.
It shift through all the gears fine though a little bit tight but thank fully all the gears select and the manual transmission runs ok.
I didn't get any check engine light codes either thankfully.
The only thing I have left to do is run some wires to connect the reverse light but I will probably do that on the weekend when I get some time .
I am really liking how the clutch feels. It not too rigid when engaging but you still feel it grabbing when its engaging.
So I was able to secure the needed brackets that were needed to wrap up my swap with the help of my brother and a friend.
The automatic transmission mount does not work with the bracket because the holes in the mount and the bracket does not line up. I had to order a manual transmission mount an it bolted right in.
I then bled the clutch and made sure that the slave cylinder was working properly and that both master and slave cylinder were not leaking or anything.
Also I was able to figure out which wires on the engine harness to bridge so as to trick the ecu that the car is in neutral or park thus enabling it to start. You can check them out in the pics below.
So I am yet to fully drive the car on the road as I have a few other little things I have to tidy up but I did move it around on the drive way and no leaks or spills or noise so that is a good start.
So I a have begun the process of making the manual swap in my car. It was pretty much straight forward and most of the info on how to do the swap can be found here .
The only two issues that I ran into were that during my research I overlooked the fact that the bracket that bolts the transmission mount to the gearbox is different from the one that bolts to the auto transmission. The auto one sits higher while the manual one sits a little bit lower.
The other issue I ran into was that the gearbox I purchased did not come with the little bracket that holds the two shifter cables in place.
I'm working on getting both those brackets but everything else went pretty smoothly especially getting the gearbox in which I know can be a pain but it wasn't this time around.
Here are few pictures I was able to snap during the process.
So I had the opportunity to grab a used rear sway bar. I had it for a little bit and started to try and paint it as it was rather rusty. Blasted away most of the rust on it and attempted to paint it indoors which didn't really turn out too well as I had to abort that idea due to the fumes.
I decided to install the sway bar anyway as I had gotten a power drill to borrow for the weekend and wanted to make use of it. My plan is to remove the sway bar a little later and have it sand blasted and then powder coated but we will see how that goes.
So it finally warmed up just a little bit the other day and I took the opportunity to install the rear struts on my car. The process was pretty simple with the exception of removing the rear bezels to reach to the top bolts that hold the struts in place. I thought there would have been a greater difference in height when comparing the new assebly versus the old but there was not much height difference . Here are a few pics.
So I ordered a few parts for my build and they came in a few days ago.
I ordered top hats for both front and rear suspensions. I was initially thinking to reuse the ones that are currently on the car but then I decided I want to just do a quick swap out when I get the chance so rather than to clamp springs and stuff in order to remove the OEM top hats i just bout a new set. Since I got them I was able to quickly assemble the rear strut assembly as shown in the pictures.
I also got a clutch kit which included a 6 puck clutch, a pressure plate, a throw out bearing and an alignment tool. This means that the only thing remaining to do my manual swap is the transmission which I hope to purchase in a couple of weeks. I also ordered a OEM flywheel and grabbed a couple of flywheel bolts while I was at it just make sure I have everything.

SAMARA, Russia (Reuters) - Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio believes the way to take on Brazil, whom he labeled the "best team in the world", in the last 16 of the World Cup is for his side to adhere to their attacking philosophy.
The two nations meet in Samara on Monday with Mexico looking to replicate the performance that saw them defeat holders Germany in the group stage.
However, they will be up against a team with an embarrassment of riches, including Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, Thiago Silva and Gabriel Jesus.
"Brazil is a great team. I would go as far as to say it is the best team in the world," Osorio told reporters on Sunday.
"Each and every one of their players can control the ball and pass the ball very well. They behave like a unit.
Osorio believes the best way to counter the Brazilian threat is through Mexico's own offensive tactics.
"I think that defending with an odd number of defenders and wing backs is an option but our footballing style has to do more with creating defensive problems in the opposition line," he said.
"So we never give up on attacking. Regardless of the structure we will have tomorrow we will always have a line-up with five attacking players. Or four pure attackers and two false nines like Hector (Herrera).
Midfielder Herrera is one of a number of Mexican players who were in the team that beat a Brazil side containing Neymar and Silva in the final to win gold at the 2012 Olympics.
He said he had fond memories of that tournament but was now dreaming of winning the World Cup.
"If we want to be able to dream about winning the World Cup we have to be able to beat any opponent," said the Porto player.
Osorio spoke passionately about the nature of soccer always giving the underdogs a chance in any game, no matter how illustrious the opponents.
He will be hoping his eloquent vision comes to fruition against five-times World Cup winners Brazil on Monday.
"Soccer as a game always gives you an opportunity to win. Collectively, it is the sport that gives the team with less history a chance because of the low scoring," said Osorio.
"It is not basketball or rugby or baseball because their scores are so high you can always anticipate who is the winner.
"In soccer, you just need to score one and then defend and with that goal you can win. Football gives this type of surprise to people who don't understand it.

What the crap where did May go? We've been booked solid this past month, and work really exploded. I'm hoping to get back into writing posts regularly again soon!!
This is a monthly post where I break down the nitty gritty of our expenses, so you can see where our money goes each month. I'll also share a chart of of the progress on our mortgage, tax deferred investments, and and taxable investments. These charts don't include numbers, but they will show trends as the months go by and more data points are added.
We track our finances using Personal Capital. Personal Capital has an easy to use system and interface that allows us to monitor our net worth and track where our money is going. I highly recommend giving it a try.
A few notes: We pay some of our utilities on an annual or quarterly basis, so you'll occasionally see a spike in those numbers. We also pay our car insurance twice a year, so that payment won't show up monthly. We use credit cards for most of these expenses, to take advantage of the offers credit cards give you. While I think credit cards are a great way to get a little something back for money you would be spending anyways, there is a huge caveat that you need to pay those bills of in their entirety each month. If you can't do that, don't use them!
Have any other questions about our finances? Feel free to get in touch and ask!
April was a pretty good month for us – mostly anticlimactic on the finance front.
April was our first month paying the bare bone minimum on our mortgage – you can see the payment went down $200. As I mentioned last month, we are trying out making our extra payments in one lump sum instead of spread out throughout the year.
Our grocery bill exploded this month! I finally pulled the trigger and signed up for a CSA. We were part of a CSA last year and absolutely loved it. The CSA we joined was $350 for 18 weeks of vegetable delivery, including meat and bread once a month as well. I'd really like to do an entire post on why I think CSAs are a good use of money, stay tuned. Without the CSA cost, our grocery bill would be a sweet $275 this month.
We also had some major car costs this month. The transmission on my poor old car started acting up – and by acting up I mean it slipped into neutral twice while I was driving down the freeway. And occasionally would just refuse to shift into 4th. I had diagnostics done on it but they couldn't find anything wrong, so I ended up having the transmission fluid changed. I'm about two months in but so far so good – the car is driving smooth and no more weird shifting problems. I'm hoping the problem is solved because my beloved car only has 130k miles on it and I was hoping to drive it for a long time. Time will tell.
The only other expense worth noting was that we took a trip up to Northern Minnesota to run a half marathon. We ended up eating out with my parents that trip, giving us a high restaurant bill this month. Worth it!!
Nothing too exciting this month on the progress charts. The markets have rebounded a little. Our mortgage continues to slowly inch down.
This entry was posted in Monthly Expenses. Bookmark the permalink.
nice. a half marathon is no joke. how much are property tax and insurance outside of the mortgage? looks like a very frugal lifestyle to me. our base expenses with no mortgage are around 23k/year but that's without wine and travel and dog costs, which make the work worth doing for us. cars sure are expensive. you have a local trustworthy garage or use the dealer?
The mortgage breakdown is ~1200 to principal and interest, ~300 to property taxes, and ~130 to insurance.
23k is great for a base cost. I completely agree that you can't cut out all the great things even if they're bigger $$$. We've actually talked about splitting our retirement finances into two categories – one is making sure we have enough money to cover our base costs. Then after that, we want to work for awhile longer to build up a travel fund.
I wish we had a trustworthy garage, we've been looking for one and asking around but haven't had any luck. We've used the dealer in the past and have tried out a couple other chain places in the area. We've never had terrible service by any means, but you always feel fleeced by car service.
Need more emails to archive?
I promise I'll only send the good stuff.

Home/Publications/Alexey Kim: "We are expanding our presence in the market"
Interviewed by Vladimir Dmitriev
Energy industry determines the viability of any city. Engineering utilities are its circulatory system, that brings water, light, heat to people, and makes our life comfortable. GOC "Teplocentrstroy" works to grow, develop and improve municipal networks, every day confirming its leading position in the construction of technologically complex objects. How the company was founded and how it is positioned in the market today, tells the president of GOC "Teplocentrstroy" Alexey Kim.
– Alexey Robertovich, this year, the Moscow constructing industry celebrates the 25th anniversary, and the emergence of the company "Teplocentrstroy" had almost the same period of time, because this year you are celebrating its 20th anniversary. What were these years?
– In 1993, a small group of like-minded people decided to try their hands in the construction industry. I began my working career as an electrician and did not have any experience in construction management. I had to learn everything on my own, even to make business calculations. Thanks to the joint efforts, in 1995 our company was noticed – we got a letter of thanks from the hands of the prefect of SZAO for the reconstruction of the heating system in the Pokrovscoe-Streshnevo. It was the first important object, deadlines of which were clearly determined.
We managed and realized that we can continue to work and were on the right path. The next landmark project became our participation in the renovation of the building of the New Opera in the Garden "Hermitage". In 1997, we won the tender of the Committee of Culture of Moscow, we worked very seriously on this project, reconstructed the central heat supply unit, engineering utilities, installed lighting system and improved landscape. The project was supervised personally by Yuri Luzhkov and the head of constructing industry Vladimir Resin.
– Just in 1998, the event of default took place. How did your company survive?
– At that moment, we have already had a few large projects in progress, in particular, at the end of 1997, we won the tender for the installation of a 7-kilometer electricity power to the Central Bank building on Leninsky Prospekt. In 1998, we installed the engineering utilities to the Central Bank building on Volokolamskoe shosse. There was a slight decline in amount of works at that time, but in general, we did not notice the crisis. This was our first experience in the implementation of electric power facilities. I think, GOC "Teplocentrstroy" is among the three largest companies in the field of electric power facilities construction today. The company is a framework contractor of Moscow cable network and performs important projects for JSC "OEK". The company's experts perform works on the electric power supply of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaja Moscow subway line, that is under construction yet and designed and reconstructed electric power networks of the plant "VILS."
– What major projects have been completed in recent years?
– By request of the Ministry of Defense, we completed a complex construction of the automated boiler room of 210mVt in Balashikha, Moscow region (the general contractor was GOC "Morton"). Having our own design department, that performs a full range of design services, including the electricity power networks design, we in GOC "Teplocentrstroy" are able to perform the work commissioned by JSC "MOESK" – the construction of electric power networks for residential complexes DOMINION, "Champion Park" and academic building №2 of State University of Moscow, named after Lomonosov. The company has successfully completed a number of important projects, including the laying of cable lines of 10 kV at the facilities on ul. Krasnobogatyrskaya and Berezhkovskaya naberezhnaja; built an overhead line (OL) 110 kV Krutyshi – Suvorovo for the needs of Eastern electrical power networks – branch of JSC "MOESK".
– Are these your main projects?
– Of course, not. For many years, we have been cooperating with "IFSK ARKS" LLC and jointly implementing a major project of rainwater sewerage treatment plants constructing for integrated development of the territory of the sludge drying beds at Lyubertsy aeration station, where we go ahead of schedule. Commissioned by Ginger Invest rus, we have built a logistics car center GEFCO in the Domodedovo district of Moscow region.
– How does the company develop its activities in the regions?
– We work on sufficiently large projects throughout Russia. We implement projects in Bryansk, Tambov, Lipetsk and Leningrad regions. This year, the company's experts have completed a number of large projects as part of the construction of Olympic facilities in Sochi. Commissioned by JSC "FSK EES", we completed construction and installation and commissioning of the projects: "Cable lines (110 kV) from the substation "Ledovyi Dvorez" to the substation "Vremennaja (Reservnaja)"; "Cable and overhead lines (110 kV) in the Imereti lowland" connecting the three substations – "Psou", "Imereti" and "Ledovyi Dvorez". In the Krasnodar region, commissioned by "Kubanenergo", we continue the reconstruction of electric power lines (110 kV) of 22 km as a cable overhead lines, as well as the construction and reconstruction of 0.4-10 kV distribution networks for Krasnopolyansky and Khostinsky electricity power networks.
– Do the Olympic projects have higher requirements?
– GOC "Teplocentrstroy" has all the necessary permits for the realization of the most complex and important projects in engineering and energy infrastructure. In December of 2012, as part of the "Russian Constructing Olympus" prize, GOC "Teplocentrstroy" was awarded the honorary title of "Leader in the design and construction of electric power facilities." Today in Sochi we have completed eight projects. The most difficult of them is the construction of a 110 overhead line on polyhedral supports in very difficult landscape conditions. The project provides the replacement of existing supports with the lattice ones, as well as with the new generation supports, implemented on the basis of polyhedral steel racks. There are some structures that require to be filled with 150 cubic meters of concrete and to be installed at the bored piles, as they are located on the landslide areas and must withstand high wind and snow loads.
– What direction do you consider as the main for your company: water supply, heating or electricity networks?
– We are engaged in a wide range of engineering services that gives us stability, because we have a few competitors. I believe that this "omnivorousity" gives our company the stability. We do not only construct the projects, but also provide a full range of designing, which is a big advantage for the company. The plans for this year – to expand our presence in the market, to increase work volume in the regions, to improve the used technologies and management system, to reduce the cost of the work, to extend our machines fleet. I would like to point out that over the years, GOC "Teplocentrstroy" has completed more than 200 large-scale projects, and each of them is important to us.
– What would you wish to the city managers, your colleagues and partners in connection with the anniversary of Moscow construction industry?
– I would like to thank all of those who work in the construction industry for the benefit and prosperity of our city. I sincerely wish you inspiration and success in the implementation of the ambitious ideas and projects. Let the modern creations of builders be the objects of admiration and pride in our capital city!
