Click on What Is Our Bad Behavior Teaching Our Kids? to read a thought provoking article published March 20, 2015 in Parents Magazine.
A wise councilor once said that the best gift I could give to my daughter was to be emotionally healthy. I completely agree with Zeman's quoting of Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD's, "insecurity is at the root" in this article.
Parents reproduce what they are. If they, the parents, feel insecure and thus are easily offended and offend, most likely their kids will be too. It starts with us, the parent.
Mom and Dad, consider buying Rojo, The Baby Red Panda at the Zoo for yourself and not just your kids. Read Dr. Seuss's, Oh The Places You Will Go, Gertrude McFuzz, and others to yourself as you read along with your kids. Isn't the chance to learn what you didn't growing up through your children one of the greatest privileges of parenting? The greatest motivation you can give to your kids is to demonstrate that you aren't perfect and need to learn too.
St. Patrick's Day: What does St. Patrick have in common with red pandas?
This might be a bit of a stretch to ask what St. Patrick and red pandas have in common, but I love the story behind St. Patrick's teen life and calling to love the Irish. My intent in writing Rojo was to give the world a unique (and educational about pandas) story to encourage loving self and others as God created and call us to do. Doesn't St. Patrick demonstrate this in his forgiveness of the Irish pirates and those who forced him into slavery? That plus most people know very little accurate information about both.
St. Patrick was Romano British, not Irish. He was kidnapped by Irish Pirates from his noble home in Brittan when he was a teenager and forced into Irish slavery. He didn't go by the name Patrick until he trained to be a Catholic Bishop many years later in France. He returned to Ireland to share God's love and knowledge with the Irish…the people who at one time kidnapped him. He most likely used the clover to explain God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three distinct roles in the same one God.
Red pandas were named panda first. Not the Giant panda. They are not raccoons or foxes. But, rather very cute creatures that can teach us something about God and his creation too. Check out how in Rojo, The Baby Red Panda at the Zoo by Hope Mucklow.

I DO NOT recommend Aren Langland and his crew at all. Overall bad workmanship and took 4 months to repair a leaking roof and balcony only to have us call him for fixing their repair work multiple times since the roof still leaked. During last Sunday's storm, we had pots and pan for water pouring from where they did "repairs." Now we have extensive wall, ceiling and floor damage in addition to mold in areas they said they had fixed.
Also, shoddy paintwork and woodwork- painted over old paint and now the new paint is peeling. Anytime we ask to fix the issues, the answer is always that 'the right way to do it' is not in his budget.
They worked till they were paid and then hardly ever showed up to finish the job. Aren had zero oversight over his workers. We've had doors left open, missing keys , and thefts. We had to re-key the whole house again after they left.
Please contact me if you are planning to hire him and I will show you photos and videos of his work.
Nickie recently transformed a garage/workshop into a fun room/workshop to better fit our needs. Nickie is multi-skilled, so easy to work with and his rates are very reasonable. He handled our "field modifications" professionally and in a timely manner. He was responsive to our phone calls and kept us informed of next steps as the job progressed. We used a lot of recycled materials on the project which are not the easiest to work with. Nickie took it all in stride and did an incredible job. The result is an awesome outdoor fun room that our family will enjoy for years to come. We highly and enthusiastically recommend Nickie Dibenedetto for such work.


Dr Greg Walker, Chief Executive of MillionPlus, has written for the Higher Education Policy Institute on a potential minimum grade tariff for HE study, in response to an earlier piece by Iain Mansfield.
He argues against the propsal based on the negative impact on social mobility, the Robbins principle that a student who can benefit from a course of study should be able to do so, the burdensome administrative issues and for government spending reasons.
He writes: "My plea in this blog is simply that we should not set aside the sound basis of admitting prospective students on their capacity to benefit from the degree and not based on a grade threshold policy plucked from the air. If we are serious about fair life chances for all, we should stick to our long-held principles."

Beyond the Great Wall

Imelda has been around for more or less three years in the independent music scene. They have competed in band battles, played in various gigs and shows, and within the past six months have released a couple of singles. Now it's time for Jam Pascual, Diego Manzano, Miguel Feria, Vincci Santiago and Nash Ignacio to take the next step, with their EP set to be released in September.
Jam, the band's vocalist, labels Imelda's music as "hard rock." "[Although] I use that term as loosely as possible. We're blues-inclined. I think the stuff we play kind of sounds like Audioslave, Soundgarden, Dead Sara, Velvet Revolver," he explains.
They've released two songs through their Soundcloud account, namely Douchebag and more recently, a re-recording of Great Wall. Both of these tracks have been featured in Radio Republic's Daily Track (www.radiorepublic.ph).
Jam writes the lyrics while the rest of the band takes care of the composition. On writing Douchebag, he shares, "When I wrote Douchebag, I had specific people in mind, whose names I won't mention. It's basically directed at people who think they're cool and trying to make themselves look cool by puffing themselves up at the expense of others."
On making the EP
"Regarding the EP, we still haven't done much. We still have to fix the other songs we've already recorded and we have to record "Isabela" pa. We're pretty much behind-schedule also. Photos, cd label, logos, cover art, everything's delayed but we're getting to it. It should be done by the end of August," shares Diego, the band's bass player.
As for pegs, Jam admits that they don't really have a certain cohesive unit for the songs to be included in the EP. "I guess we've always tried to emulate our influences but we don't have a specific model for how the EP should be. We're still planning cover design, among other things. We have no peg. We're just doing what feels right, corny as that sounds."
Jam sees the making of the EP as a major undertaking for the band. "[For me], our most recent milestone is the recording process, still ongoing. "I think this is the first time a lot of us have committed to this kind of project. The bands we've been in before (save for Nash) never got this far, so I'm glad we're actually working on an EP."
With their EP in the works and gigs continually coming, Diego looks forward to more amazing things for the band in the near future. "I dream big so I'd like to believe that we'll get bigger gigs and maybe get to play outside of the country as well. Festivals, more gigs. Well, I'm looking forward to new songs, getting started on the album and more gigs and recognition!"
King Puentespina, drummer of She's Only Sixteen, used to play for Imelda. Their current drummer, Nash, also plays for Nanay Mo.

Nissan renews commitment to Nigeria
By Theodore Opara
Nissan celebrated an evening of innovation and excitement with special guests in Lagos last week, following the launch of the new distributor, Stallion NMN, in May this year.
The new partnership affirms Nissan's commitment to strong representation in Nigeria, a vibrant market that is expected to deliver significant growth and contribution to Nissan's global midterm plan, Nissan Power88.
Nissan's three year fiscal objective conveys the responsibility of repositioning and enhancing Nissan's influence in Nigeria on Stallion NMN Limited, as new Nissan custodian and national sales company.
This was how Mr. Mike Whitfield, Managing Director, Nissan South Africa, summarized the key objective of the occasion where Stallion NMN custodianship was crystallized and a number of intriguing Nissan models were launched.
He envisioned that by the end of fiscal 2016, "We aim to achieve a global market share of eight percent and sustainable operating profit of eight percent and Nigeria is an important market in that plan."
"Nissan is already reaping the dividend of Power 88 globally,' he said, 'We started the year 2013 on a high note, and markets in Africa, with their favourable growth indices, are key to our achievement."
Mr. Whitfield attributed the growth potentials in Africa to improved economic governance, rapid urbanisation with expanding middle class and growing workforce, saying "It is inevitable that this growing consumer base will become increasingly motorised with Nissan at the forefront of initiatives to capture the market."
Nissan will be tapping into Africa's markets with its smart and fuel-efficient B and C segment passenger vehicles such as Nissan Micra, Almera and Sentra.
Mr. Parvir Singh, Managing Director, Stallion NMN Limited, acknowledged in his keynote address the ingenuity of Nissan's technology, remarking that "Nissan has transcended the challenges of yesterday, living up to its new tagline 'Innovation that Excites' – one of the compelling reasons why the brand has become the toast of many discerning automobile lovers worldwide."
He highlighted Nissan's relationship with Usain Bolt, the Jamaican Olympic gold medalist and world's fastest sprinter who is Nissan's 'Ambassador of Excitement', as proof of Nissan's imaginative technology.
"Capturing the imagination of customers is one of the conditions for Nissan's diverse range of models cutting across various applications," Mr. Singh stated.
The highpoint of the event was the unveiling of Nissan's star attraction, GT-R and some other exciting models that have undergone real time transformation such as the 370Z, Pathfinder, Teana (also known as Altima in other markets) and Sentra.
Mr Singh explained that Stallion Group with strong local experience had joined forces with Nissan as a global brand, to position the brand as Nigeria's preferred choice of automobile.
A subsidiary of the Stallion Group, Stallion NMN would be guided by the parent company's four decade experience that has crisscrossed vital sectors of Nigeria economy, and establish state-of-the-art showrooms and service facilities at Victoria Island and Lekki, both in Lagos, as well as Abuja and Port-Harcourt.

Man identified, charged in connection with fatal hit-and-run in Missouri City
Several Houston police officers shoot armed suspect while responding to report of assault
Several Houston police officers shot a suspect holding a gun to his head on Jan. 3, 2020. (KPRC)
HOUSTON – Several Houston police officers shot and injured an armed man at a home in northeast Houston Friday night, according to the Houston Police Department.
At about 6:42 p.m., officers responded to report of an assault in the 11000 block of Spottswood Drive near Little York Road. The caller said his friend was assaulting a woman.
When officers arrived, the man barricaded himself in a shed in the backyard of the home and held a gun to his head, officials say.
Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said multiple officers tried to deescalate the situation and get the 33-year-old man to drop his gun. The suspect repeatedly asked to see his girlfriend, who was the woman he was assaulting, Acevedo said.
At various times, officials say the man held the gun to his head, neck and face. The officers continued to try and deescalate the situation and at one point, the suspect brought the gun down and pointed it at the officers, Acevedo said.
That's when several officers fired several shots at the suspect, officials say. They immediately began CPR and life-saving measures on the suspect who was shot multiple times, Acevedo said.
Paramedics with the Houston Fire Department also stepped in to treat the man and he was transported via a Life Flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann hospital. where he remains in critical, but stable condition, according to authorities.
No police officers were injured in the shooting.
Acevedo said the suspect had multiple prior criminal convictions and two pending warrants out for his arrest.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

The Crimean Tatars of Romania are actually part of a much greater Tatar population that lives primarily in Russia. Large numbers of Crimean Tatars can also be found in Turkey, Uzbekistan, and the Ukraine.
The Crimean Tatars are descendants of the Mongols who swept through eastern Europe in the thirteenth century. Their history has been both complex and turbulent. For many years, they have endured hardship, oppression, and injustice.
By the end of the 1440s, the Crimean Khanate was established on the Crimean Peninsula. However, Russian rule came late in the eighteenth century and was very repressive. In 1944, Stalin accused the entire Crimean Tatar population of collaborating with the Nazis and had them deported to Soviet Central Asia. Sadly, almost half of them died in the process. To this day, the Tatars are still struggling to return to the homeland they were forced to leave more than half a century ago.
Since the Tatars' massive deportation in 1944, much of their traditional Crimean lifestyle has been lost. They have undergone an intense process of assimilation into Russian culture. The older people have maintained a strong sense of ethnic identity. However, it has been extremely difficult for them to pass that identity on to their children.
Although food production is the way most people earn a living in the Crimean region, the Tatars work primarily in manufacturing or petroleum industries. They often make extra money by selling leather, ceramic, and metal craft items.
Family ties are very important to the Crimean Tatars. The size of the immediate family ranges from four to five members. However, two or three generations will often live in the same house. The great majority of the Crimean Tatars marry within their culture, unlike some of their Tatar cousins. The family is strongly patriarchal (dominated by the men). The line of descent is through the father and inheritance is passed down through the males. Work is divided along traditional lines with men working outside and women tending to the children and the household duties.
Tatar children have no schools of their own. The school system publicly denies thousands of young Tatars knowledge of their nationality, history, language, and culture. As a result, about three-quarters of these children cannot read or speak their native language, Crimean Tatar.
A majority of the Crimean Tatars who live in the cities wear western style clothing. Elderly and rural people wear more traditional dress such as scarves, turbans, robes, and sandals. The people have a deep love for songs and music which are popular at holidays and feasts. They perform popular folk songs called manes and chin, whenever there is a celebration.
The Tatars are Sunni Muslims who belong to the Hanafite branch. However, they have no version of the Qu'ran in their language. The Muslim faith includes observing Ramadan, a month of ritual fasting. During Ramadan, they pray for Islam to fill the earth.
Some evidence suggests that the Crimean Tatars have a thirst for the Word of God.
There is also a great need for laborers to work among the Tatars. Tentmaker-missionaries in agriculture and construction are needed, in addition to those who can evangelize and do church planting. Tatars also need job training and help in establishing small businesses. English language studies may be needed as well.
Of all the Crimean Tatars living in Romania, only a few have found abundant life in Jesus Christ. It is God's will for these precious people to come to know Him, for He "...is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
* Ask the Lord to call full-time Christian workers who are willing to go to Romania and share Christ with the Tatars.
* Pray for those who are leaving comforts behind and risking their lives to return to their homeland.
* Ask God to strengthen, encourage, and protect the small number of Crimean Tatar Christians.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Pray that God will open the hearts of Romania's governmental leaders to the Gospel.
* Ask the Lord to raise up a strong local church among the Crimean Tatars.View Tatar, Crimean in all countries.

Government Hacking and Subversion of Digital Security
Too often, the policies and practices of law enforcement and intelligence agencies can be disastrous for security.
Attempts to weaken encryption through law, policy, or informal pressure can make technology devices less secure for everyone. Government agents may infiltrate, copy, delete, or damage data during digital investigations. The government may even actively create and disseminate malware that can damage computers. We've seen these dangerous techniques employed both in the United States and in countries around the world, and they inevitably have the same consequence: we are less secure.
Government attacks on security come in many disguises, including:
State-sponsored malware. The government will design and deploy malicious code that infects computers, a technique often employed by authoritarian governments to uncover or silence dissent. Read about state-sponsored malware.
Stockpiling or exploiting vulnerabilities. The government may find or purchase details of security vulnerabilities and then use them for investigative or "offensive" purposes. The U.S. government has created a policy, known as the Vulnerabilities Equities Process (VEP), to decide whether to disclose information about security vulnerabilities or instead withhold this information for its own purposes. This process is opaque, leaving the public in the dark about how frequently security vulnerabilities are left unaddressed. Although the government says the process is biased in favor of disclosure, there is no requirement in the VEP to tell technology makers about their security flaws.
Promoting crypto backdoors. Whether through legislation, litigation, or unofficial pressure, government attempts to undermine crypto, defeat security features, obtain "keys" to unlock encrypted data, or insert vulnerabilities into software make us all less secure.
Malicious hacking. Whether sanctioned by a court or not, the government may actively break into computers remotely. Agents may access, copy, delete, or even create data in order to suit their needs. Too often, these practices are shrouded in secrecy with inadequate oversight by the judicial system, beginning with opaque and overbroad warrants authorizing installation of malware, all the way up to refusals to share details of the malware with defendants as part of a fair trial.
These tools can have dire consequences for the security and privacy of users who have done nothing wrong and are not even connected to an investigation. In other cases, these tools are disproportionate to the threat, wreaking havoc on users' computers when less invasive techniques would have been appropriate.
In balancing the need for strong security against the potential benefit of hacking and other anti-security techniques, the government—including the courts—must carefully consider the costs to society. The public needs to be able to access secure digital tools. And as a society, we have an interest in protecting innocent users from the collateral effects of intrusive surveillance, whether by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Above all, the government must be accountable to the people, and that means promoting strong crypto and security.

The year is 1978. The Duncan brothers and their tough-as-nails women have vanquished their rivals and taken their place as the leaders of Waycross, Georgia's criminal enterprises. However, their rise to power has not gone unnoticed, and the family is rocked when their mother, Miss Bettie, is kidnapped and her body is found in a swamp. No one knows who the killers are, but instead of drawing closer, the family is split when their grief-stricken leader, LC, is offered membership in the South's most powerful black organization, the Council. Membership has its privileges, but they do not include his brothers. LC packs up his growing family and moves to Atlanta to open his first car dealership. Unable to deal with their mother's death, Lou Duncan searches for her killers with the help of an unlikely ally—LC's ex-fiancée. Her presence may cost him his relationship with his brothers, but Lou is resigned to that fact because Donna's help is instrumental in finding Ms. Bettie's abductors. What he will soon learn is that his search for the truth will also lead him to discover a long-buried Duncan family secret.

Is It Okay to Call God "Mother"?: Considering the Feminine Face of God
By Mary Seltzer | October 30, 1999
Intellectually we know God is beyond gender; however, using only masculine pronouns sends image-shaping messages to our hearts and minds that are incorrect. By neglecting the feminine imagery for God, we have distorted our understanding of God.
The Bible in Cross Cultural Perspective
By Kim A. Pettit | April 29, 2001

What did you do for World Down Syndrome Day?
Last year World DS Day kinda caught us unprepared to do anything big as a group. This year we provided buttons for folks to wear and share, but some members took it upon themselves to go a step further; to think GLOBALLY and act LOCALLY.
This was our first time celebrating as my baby Gracie was just born in December. Since she is not in school yet, our whole family dressed in blue and yellow. My older two daughters and I painted our nails blue and yellow too! When people asked my daughters about their nails, they took the opportunity to tell them that it was World Down Syndrome Day. They also told them about Gracie and what Down Syndrome is.
Circle of Friends join around their friend with Down Syndrome at Buchser Middle School to recognize World Down syndrome day.

YouTubers like Kelsey Ellison spend time crafting video content in the hope it will be seen by millions of people.
But for Kelsey, it was a 15 second Twitter video filmed by a friend that brought her worldwide attention.
The 25-year-old has been sharing videos with her YouTube followers under her own name for seven years, but now she's better known as 'Dancing Hermione'.
Dressed as the Harry Potter character, Kelsey was filmed dancing at Comic Con in London.
The video was first shared on Twitter by Kelsey's friend, and fellow YouTuber, Connie Glynn on 27th May.
Connie's video of Kelsey has been watched 8 million times, and turned the YouTuber into a viral superstar.
"It wasn't planned at all," Kelsey tells Newsbeat.
Kelsey has been dancing since she was five years old (her early YouTube videos were of her performing to J-pop songs) and taught herself the moves in Connie's Twitter video.
"The style I was doing there, I just taught myself from YouTube videos," she says.
Voguing emerged from Harlem drag queens in the 1960s and was inspired by a mix of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and classic poses by models in fashion magazines.
Earlier this week, Kelsey shared a second video of Dancing Hermione – which has been viewed more than 1.1 million times – due to demand from viewers to see more of her moves.
"A lot of people were saying: 'Where's the death drop?' which is one of the big dance moves in Vogue Femme, so I just gave them what they wanted," laughs Kelsey.
Kelsey's love of dance is matched only by her love of Harry Potter – "I'm a really big fan, stupidly big" – and says Hermione has been a huge inspiration to her.
"I just love that she always stays true to herself, she doesn't care what other people think about her being smart, her opinions or anything," Kelsey adds.
Kelsey says that her second Hermione video is her "final" appearance as a dancing wizard, but she has one last ambition for her sudden viral fame.
She wants Emma Watson (who played the character in the Harry Potter movies) to see the clip.

Q: Case insensitive dictionary I'd like my dictionary to be case insensitive.
I have this example code:
text = "practice changing the color"

words = {'color': 'colour',
        'practice': 'practise'}

def replace(words,text):

    keys = words.keys()

    for i in keys:
        text= text.replace(i ,words[i])
    return  text

text = replace(words,text)

print text

Output = practise changing the colour
I'd like another string, "practice changing the Color", (where Color starts with a capital) to also give the same output.
I believe there is a general way to convert to lowercase using
mydictionary[key.lower()] but I'm not sure how to best integrate this into my existing code. (If this would be a reasonable, simple approach anyway).

A: The currently accepted answer wouldn't work for lots of cases, so it cannot be used as a drop-in dict replacement. Some tricky points in getting a proper dict replacement:

*

*overloading all of the methods that involve keys

*properly handling non-string keys

*properly handling the constructor of the class

The following should work much better:
class CaseInsensitiveDict(dict):
    @classmethod
    def _k(cls, key):
        return key.lower() if isinstance(key, basestring) else key

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._convert_keys()
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__getitem__(self.__class__._k(key))
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__setitem__(self.__class__._k(key), value)
    def __delitem__(self, key):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__delitem__(self.__class__._k(key))
    def __contains__(self, key):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__contains__(self.__class__._k(key))
    def has_key(self, key):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).has_key(self.__class__._k(key))
    def pop(self, key, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).pop(self.__class__._k(key), *args, **kwargs)
    def get(self, key, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).get(self.__class__._k(key), *args, **kwargs)
    def setdefault(self, key, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).setdefault(self.__class__._k(key), *args, **kwargs)
    def update(self, E={}, **F):
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).update(self.__class__(E))
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).update(self.__class__(**F))
    def _convert_keys(self):
        for k in list(self.keys()):
            v = super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).pop(k)
            self.__setitem__(k, v)

A: Just for the record. I found an awesome impementation on Requests:
https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/v1.2.3/requests/structures.py#L37

A: I've modified the simple yet good solution by pleasemorebacon (thanks!) making it slightly more compact, self-contained and with minor updates to allow construction from {'a':1, 'B':2} and support __contains__ protocol.
Finally, since the CaseInsensitiveDict.Key is expected to be string (what else can be case-sensitive or not), it is a good idea to derive Key class from the str, then it is possible, for instance, to dump CaseInsensitiveDict with json.dumps out of the box.
# caseinsensitivedict.py
class CaseInsensitiveDict(dict):

    class Key(str):
        def __init__(self, key):
            str.__init__(key)
        def __hash__(self):
            return hash(self.lower())
        def __eq__(self, other):
            return self.lower() == other.lower()

    def __init__(self, data=None):
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__init__()
        if data is None:
            data = {}
        for key, val in data.items():
            self[key] = val
    def __contains__(self, key):
        key = self.Key(key)
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__contains__(key)
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        key = self.Key(key)
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__setitem__(key, value)
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        key = self.Key(key)
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__getitem__(key)

Here is a basic test script for those who like to check things in action:
# test_CaseInsensitiveDict.py
import json
import unittest
from caseinsensitivedict import *

class Key(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.Key = CaseInsensitiveDict.Key
        self.lower = self.Key('a')
        self.upper = self.Key('A')

    def test_eq(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.lower, self.upper)

    def test_hash(self):
        self.assertEqual(hash(self.lower), hash(self.upper))

    def test_str(self):
        self.assertEqual(str(self.lower), 'a')
        self.assertEqual(str(self.upper), 'A')

class Dict(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.Dict = CaseInsensitiveDict
        self.d1 = self.Dict()
        self.d2 = self.Dict()
        self.d1['a'] = 1
        self.d1['B'] = 2
        self.d2['A'] = 1
        self.d2['b'] = 2

    def test_contains(self):
        self.assertIn('B', self.d1)
        d = self.Dict({'a':1, 'B':2})
        self.assertIn('b', d)

    def test_init(self):
        d = self.Dict()
        self.assertFalse(d)
        d = self.Dict({'a':1, 'B':2})
        self.assertTrue(d)

    def test_items(self):
        self.assertDictEqual(self.d1, self.d2)
        self.assertEqual(
            [v for v in self.d1.items()],
            [v for v in self.d2.items()])

    def test_json_dumps(self):
        s = json.dumps(self.d1)
        self.assertIn('a', s)
        self.assertIn('B', s)

    def test_keys(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.d1.keys(), self.d2.keys())

    def test_values(self):
        self.assertEqual(
            [v for v in self.d1.values()],
            [v for v in self.d2.values()])

A: If I understand you correctly and you want a way to key dictionaries in a non case-sensitive fashion, one way would be to subclass dict and overload the setter / getter:
class CaseInsensitiveDict(dict):
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__setitem__(key.lower(), value)

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__getitem__(key.lower())

A: While a case insensitive dictionary is a solution, and there are answers to how to achieve that, there is a possibly easier way in this case. A case insensitive search is sufficient:
import re

text = "Practice changing the Color"
words = {'color': 'colour', 'practice': 'practise'}

def replace(words,text):
        keys = words.keys()
        for i in keys:
                exp = re.compile(i, re.I)
                text = re.sub(exp, words[i], text)
        return text

text = replace(words,text)
print text

A: You can do a dict key case insensitive search with a one liner:
>>> input_dict = {'aBc':1, 'xyZ':2}
>>> search_string = 'ABC'
>>> next((value for key, value in input_dict.items() if key.lower()==search_string.lower()), None)
1
>>> search_string = 'EFG'
>>> next((value for key, value in input_dict.items() if key.lower()==search_string.lower()), None)
>>>

You can place that into a function:

def get_case_insensitive_key_value(input_dict, key):
    return next((value for dict_key, value in input_dict.items() if dict_key.lower() == key.lower()), None)

Note that only the first match is returned.

A: In my particular instance, I needed a case insensitive lookup, however, I did not want to modify the original case of the key. For example:
>>> d = {}
>>> d['MyConfig'] = 'value'
>>> d['myconfig'] = 'new_value'
>>> d
{'MyConfig': 'new_value'}

You can see that the dictionary still has the original key, however it is accessible case-insensitively. Here's a simple solution:
class CaseInsensitiveKey(object):
    def __init__(self, key):
        self.key = key
    def __hash__(self):
        return hash(self.key.lower())
    def __eq__(self, other):
        return self.key.lower() == other.key.lower()
    def __str__(self):
        return self.key

The __hash__ and __eq__ overrides are required for both getting and setting entries in the dictionary. This is creating keys that hash to the same position in the dictionary if they are case-insensitively equal.
Now either create a custom dictionary that initializes a CaseInsensitiveKey using the provided key:
class CaseInsensitiveDict(dict):
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        key = CaseInsensitiveKey(key)
        super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__setitem__(key, value)
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        key = CaseInsensitiveKey(key)
        return super(CaseInsensitiveDict, self).__getitem__(key)

or simply make sure to always pass an instance of CaseInsensitiveKey as the key when using the dictionary.

A: If you only need to do this once in your code (hence, no point to a function), the most straightforward way to deal with the problem is this:
lowercase_dict = {key.lower(): value for (key, value) in original_dict}
I'm assuming here that the dict in question isn't all that large--it might be inelegant to duplicate it, but if it's not large, it isn't going to hurt anything.
The advantage of this over @Fred's answer (though that also works) is that it produces the same result as a dict when the key isn't present:  a KeyError.

A: Would you consider using string.lower() on your inputs and using a fully lowercase dictionary? It's a bit of a hacky solution, but it works

A: There are multiple approaches to this problem, each has its set of pros and cons. Just to add to the list (looks like this option wasn't mentioned), it's possible to extend str class and use it as a key:
class CaseInsensitiveStr(str):
    def __hash__(self) -> 'int':
        return hash(self.lower())
    def __eq__(self, other:'str') -> 'bool':
        return self.lower() == other.lower()

It can work well if dictionary in question is private and some kind of interface is used to access it.
class MyThing:
    def __init__(self):
        self._d: 'dict[CaseInsensitiveStr, int]' = dict()
    def set(self, key:'str', value:'int'):
        self._d[CaseInsensitiveStr(key)] = value
    def get(self, key:'str') -> 'int':
        return self._d[CaseInsensitiveStr(key)]

A: I just set up a function to handle this:
def setLCdict(d, k, v):
    k = k.lower()
    d[k] = v
    return d

myDict = {}

So instead of
myDict['A'] = 1
myDict['B'] = 2

You can:
myDict = setLCdict(myDict, 'A', 1)
myDict = setLCdict(myDict, 'B', 2)

You can then either lower case the value before looking it up or write a function to do so.
    def lookupLCdict(d, k):
        k = k.lower()
        return d[k]

    myVal = lookupLCdict(myDict, 'a')

Probably not ideal if you want to do this globally but works well if its just a subset you wish to use it for.


Ti Kwa's commitment to design innovation is increasingly recognised across the industry and in the upper echelons of the optical retailing community and he continues to quietly push the boundaries in his work in materials, textures and specialist production techniques, with resounding individuality and an unmistakable style.
This September, his label RIGARDS explores an exceptional copper material finish with a gently-toned verdigris in a model designed for avant-garde fashion designer Ziggy Chen (RG1911CU), based on an existing "small and narrow" shape in the collection that has come to be known as the 'Mad Scientist'.
The finish, a tribute to Bronze Age ritual vessels and their weathered slightly mottled greenish tones, appears in a unique way in all the models as the copper takes the patina finish differently from frame to frame.
"We added an interchangeable clip-on," explains the designer. "Made from ultralight aluminum-magnesium — it locks onto the frame front and converts the glasses from optical frame to sunglasses. Two small side holes hold an eyeglass chain, allowing the sun-clip to double as jewellery." Both the glasses and the clip-on can be fitted with lenses through built-in openings, part of RIGARDS' exclusive screwless spring-hinge mechanism designed to ensure the product is both aesthetically pleasing and maintenance-free.

This Literature quiz is called 'Silas Marner - Setting' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at senior high school. Playing educational quizzes is one of the most efficienct ways to learn if you are in the 11th or 12th grade - aged 16 to 18.
This senior high school English Literature quiz takes a look at setting in Silas Marner by George Eliot. At its most basic level, the setting of a text means the location and the time in which the events take place.
In addition to the events with which a text is primarily concerned, there will be events occurring in the background to which characters might allude. This wider fictional world is known as context and is also a key component of its setting (fictional context should not, of course, be confused with the author's real-life context). Atmosphere is another important element of setting, and can change multiple times in a text, just as a text most probably moves between several different settings.
For example, authors show the effect of political or social events on characters through their reported thoughts, behavior and dialog.


Payment gateway » Blog » Definitions » What Is an E-payment System?
The electronic payment system has grown increasingly over the last decades due to the growing spread of internet-based banking and shopping. As the world advances more with technology development, we can see the rise of electronic payment systems and payment processing devices. As these increase, improve, and provide ever more secure online payment transactions the percentage of check and cash transactions will decrease.
One of the most popular payment forms online are credit and debit cards. Besides them, there are also alternative payment methods, such as bank transfers, electronic wallets, smart cards or bitcoin wallet (bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency).
E-payment methods could be classified into two areas, credit payment systems and cash payment systems.
Credit Card — A form of the e-payment system which requires the use of the card issued by a financial institute to the cardholder for making payments online or through an electronic device, without the use of cash.
E-wallet — A form of prepaid account that stores user's financial data, like debit and credit card information to make an online transaction easier.
Smart card — A plastic card with a microprocessor that can be loaded with funds to make transactions; also known as a chip card.
Direct debit — A financial transaction in which the account holder instructs the bank to collect a specific amount of money from his account electronically to pay for goods or services.
E-check — A digital version of an old paper check. It's an electronic transfer of money from a bank account, usually checking account, without the use of the paper check.
E-cash is a form of an electronic payment system, where a certain amount of money is stored on a client's device and made accessible for online transactions.
Stored-value card — A card with a certain amount of money that can be used to perform the transaction in the issuer store. A typical example of stored-value cards are gift cards.
Reaching more clients from all over the world, which results in more sales.
More effective and efficient transactions — It's because transactions are made in seconds (with one-click), without wasting customer's time. It comes with speed and simplicity.
Convenience. Customers can pay for items on an e-commerce website at anytime and anywhere. They just need an internet connected device. As simple as that!
Lower transaction cost and decreased technology costs.
Expenses control for customers, as they can always check their virtual account where they can find the transaction history.
Today it's easy to add payments to a website, so even a non-technical person may implement it in minutes and start processing online payments.
Payment gateways and payment providers offer highly effective security and anti-fraud tools to make transactions reliable.
Want to know more about online payment processing? Read this guide.
Sounds great, so are there any drawbacks?
E-commerce fraud is growing at 30% per year. If you follow the security rules, there shouldn't be such problems, but when a merchant chooses a payment system which is not highly secure, there is a risk of sensitive data breach which may cause identity theft.
The lack of anonymity — For most, it's not a problem at all, but you need to remember that some of your personal data is stored in the database of the payment system.
The need for internet access — As you may guess, if the internet connection fails, it's impossible to complete a transaction, get to your online account, etc.
E-commerce, as well as m-commerce, is getting bigger year after year, so having an e-payment system in your online store is a must. It's simple, fast and convenient, so why not have one?
Still, one of the most popular payment methods are credit and debit card payments, but people also choose some alternatives or local payment methods. If you run an online business, find out what your target audience needs and provide the most convenient and relevant e-payment system.

The Opportunity of the Cartoon Crisis
In keeping with the Chinese definition of "crisis," the uproar over recent Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed offers opportunities that both Europeans and Muslims would do well to recognize. European and Muslim worlds have become inextricably linked, and Europeans should understand Muslim anger over the cartoons. The author argues that the outrage has come against the backdrop of a growing sentiment that the West shows no moral concern for the larger Muslim plight or the loss of innocent lives in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Muslim world, on the other hand, needs to reflect on its own weaknesses relative to Europe, which underlie the outbursts of anger. Lacking both hard and soft power, trailing on educational and social indices, Muslims should focus on the reasons for its current weak standing. The crisis also presents an opportunity to analyze the politics of free expression: Europeans must recognize that the world includes a substantial "other" who deserves respect, and Muslims must recognize that their communities could benefit from a free and critical press. When the crisis has subsided, perhaps both sides can engage in serious dialogue, with a view toward a more livable future for mankind. – YaleGlobal
Despite the dangers it presents, the outrage shows what needs to be done
Right and respect: Muslim demonstrators in London protesting Danish cartoons demand respect for their religion
SINGAPORE: The Chinese word for "crisis" is brilliant: It combines two characters: danger and opportunity. The crisis over the Danish cartoons on Islam presents many dangers, but also offers some opportunities.
The first opportunity the crisis provides is to educate us on how much the world has changed. Before this crisis, the 5.4 million Danes could retain the illusion that they sailed on a different boat from the world's 1.2 billion Muslims. Now they, like most Europeans, are aware that those Muslims share the same boat. None of us would board a boat and deliberately rile a large group of fellow passengers. If one group rocks the boat, we would all sink together. The Danish cartoon crisis has demonstrated that the 5.4 million Danes, and 400 million fellow EU citizens, share a common political and emotional space with 1.2 billion Muslims. These Muslims are experiencing a deep existential angst, an angst aggravated by the Danish cartoons. Their anger can rock our boat. The widespread riots and loss of life that followed should now spur us to understand the deep roots of this anger.
The Danes are familiar with the proverbial expression of the straw that broke the camel's back. The cartoons, perhaps only a straw, reinforce the deep sense of injustice that many Muslims feel. Muslims are convinced that the world, especially the West, shows no moral concern over their plight. The loss of innocent Muslim lives, whether in Iraq and Palestine, Afghanistan or Pakistan, does not stir the world. Nor has the West shown any real interest in supporting the development of Muslim societies. In short, the cartoons hurt the Muslims badly because they add real insult to real injuries.
The second opportunity this crisis provides is for the 1.2 billion Muslims to engage in some deep reflection. If they were strong and powerful, no small European country could afford to anger and alienate them. The ability of a Danish newspaper to publish the cartoons and the subsequent decision of several European papers to republish them demonstrated the weakness of the Muslim world. The Europeans knew that Muslims could not retaliate and hurt Europe. Hence, Muslim sensitivities could be ignored. Mass demonstrations, including assaults on the Danish embassies in Damascus and Beirut, are not an expression of strength. As Tariq Ramadan said, "The Muslim reaction is far too excessive and not the way forward." The Muslim world has neither hard power nor soft power and lags behind Europe in social and educational indices. As such, the Muslim world needs to understand why it has become so weak relative to Europe.
A thousand years ago, when the Muslim caliphates were shining brightly, while preserving the rich fruits of Greek and Roman civilizations, Europe was emerging from the Dark Ages. In the contest between civilizations, the Muslims had clearly surpassed the Christians by the year 1000. Today, despite its many problems, Europe is far ahead. Why do so few Muslims ask the obvious question: How did the Muslim world, like much of Asia, lose a thousand years? China too lost many centuries in catching up with the West. So did India. But both civilizations are finally waking up, absorbing the best practices of the West, including a careful delineation of the roles of religion and state in the development of modern societies. If the Muslim world cannot emulate the West, can it emulate China and India? The Prophet Muhammad once said: "Seek knowledge, even into China. That is the duty for every Muslim." If Muslims heeded such advice, Europe may not have drawn offensive cartoons.
The third opportunity from the crisis is for the world to reflect on the vices and virtues of freedom of expression. The Danish prime minister's defense is that his government could not stop the publication of the cartoons because freedom of expression is an absolute value. Technically, he is right. No Danish law would allow him to stop the cartoons. But societies do have sensitivities. The Danish insensitivity to the Muslim world has clearly come through. As Jonathan Eyal noted in the Singapore Straits Times, "No self-respecting European newspaper would dare to publish a cartoon making fun of the Holocaust, the systematic murder of Jews during World War II." Every society has its taboos. Today every society has to respect its own taboos and those of its neighbors. There is one simple reason why a few Danish cartoons could rock the world. The world is no longer a world. We live in the same neighborhood. Every human is our neighbor. The Muslims are our neighbors, too. We must respect their sentiments.
And yet it would be a great loss for mankind if the virtue of freedom of expression were sacrificed or diminished as a result of this cartoon crisis. Even the Muslim world would suffer. The sad reason for the struggle of many Muslim societies is that they have some dysfunctional aspects. Some of their elites feather their own nests, not that of their populations. The lack of a free press in many parts of the Muslim world prevents critics from exposing the inequities. Hence, the Muslim world should welcome rather than reject a free press. Look, for example, at the brave work done by Tempo, Indonesia's leading weekly newsmagazine. Only it has the courage to point out both the weaknesses of the Indonesian government and the Muslim extremists who try to stifle debate in Indonesia. The Muslim world needs more Tempos, not fewer.
But the virtues of freedom of expression would be better appreciated in the rest of the world if the Western media, which dominate the world's airwaves, encouraged a two-way street of ideas instead of the current one-way street. The open bewilderment of the Danes and Europeans at the global Muslim reaction to the Danish cartoons only reflects the widespread ignorance of the existential conditions of the Muslim world. It is no great secret that the Muslim world feels trampled upon by the West. They resent the double standards of the Western media on human rights, protesting strongly when non-Muslims are killed, as in East Timor, and protesting mildly when Muslims are killed, as in Palestine and Iraq. The Western media has convinced Western publics that they are paragons of virtue on human rights issues. But the Muslims, together with most of the five billion people who live outside the West, are acutely aware of the double standards.
The Danish cartoon crisis therefore provides the Western media an opportunity for self-reflection: How could they have failed to explain the viewpoint of five-sixths of humanity to their own populations? How can a free press be so irresponsible?
In short, despite the strongly held beliefs by both sides, there are no saints and sinners in this crisis. Both sides should engage in deep reflection on what they have done to allow the emergence of this crisis. When the dust has settled and the demonstrators have gone home, we should begin to work out the long-term future of mankind. Is it tenable for us to live in the same neighborhood and ignore the sentiments and wisdom of large segments of humanity? Is it wise for us to temper the open debate that the virtues of freedom of expression allow? Is it reasonable to allow the continuation of a one-way street in the passage of ideas from West to East? These are hard questions. The Danish cartoon crisis has provided us an opportunity to address them head on.

text: 6 Proceedings Spring 2016 www.uscg.mil/proceedings I recently spent some time visiting several offshore supply vessel companies in the Gulf of Mexico, and it was clear that safety management systems helped improve the companies' daily vessel operations. Through my own experience as an offshore supply vessel master in the mid-1990s, I would have loved to have had a safety management system as a tool to streamline vessel operations, ensure the vessel maintained regulatory compliance, and ensure proper notifcation to the company. I spoke to several vessel masters and port captains during my recent trip to Port Fourchon, Louisiana, and it was clear that the vessels' safety management systems were working as designed, with all involved parties committed to main- taining the vessels to the highest standard to ensure crew safety and security and protect the environment. While a safety management system covers a broad scope of operations, the three primary areas addressed aboard ves- sels can be broken down into: • vessel systems, • vessel crews, • vessel operations. Vessel Systems Vessels built over the last few years have very complex, inte- grated systems that often become more advanced at a rate that's hard to keep up with. To maintain vessel safety, it's critical to have a safety management system that highlights how these systems work as well as how to rectify problems or failures within the system. The SMS also provides a means to identify regimented system and equipment test- ing and maintenance to ensure everything works prop- erly and all equipment operates within the manufacturer's specif cations. On July 1, 1998, the International Safety Management (ISM) Code was made mandatory for passenger vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers subject to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) on foreign voyages. All other vessel types were given an additional four years (until July 1, 2002) to comply. The ISM Code In many ways, the ISM Code was a radical philosophical departure from traditional IMO regulations that largely focused on ship design and equipment, as the code focused on the human element — and not just for those employed on the ship. The code also stressed the responsibility for shore-based company personnel to support and facilitate safe ship operation. The code laid out a brief but comprehensive framework of key elements that are fundamental to a safety management system (SMS). For example, companies must document oper- ations, procedures, and lines of communication between the shoreside and onboard vessel operations as well as establish a standardized process to identify nonconformities and haz- ardous situations to ensure they're addressed in a timely manner. A Safety Culture A vessel's SMS clearly identifes roles and responsibilities for all involved parties and documents how all issues and failures of systems should be addressed. Since International Safety Management Code implementation, the Coast Guard has discovered that employees and management must have 100 percent buy-in for safety management systems to be effective and create a true safety culture within a company.

Q: Selecting multiple rows in a Select statement using PDO I have two tables, I want to select from the first the ID of Salles for each Responsible (he may have many -> array()) .
so I want to select all the salles this responsible have, and I did this statement (which returns an empty array and I am unsure of why):
$sels = $db->prepare("SELECT salle FROM salleresp  WHERE resp = :resp");
$sels->bindParam(':resp',$rsb['matricule']);
$sels->execute();

$rss = $sels->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$questionmarks = str_repeat("?,", count($rss)-1) . "?";

 $selectSalle1 = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM salle WHERE salleId IN ($questionmarks) ");
 $selectSalle1->execute($rss);
 $showAll=$selectSalle1->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

when I do:
print_r($showAll);

it return an empty array:
array()

Any suggestions please?

A: SELECT * FROM salle WHERE salleId IN (SELECT salle FROM salleresp  WHERE resp = :resp)

or
SELECT * FROM salle left join salleresp on (salle.salleId = salleresp.salle)
WHERE resp = :resp)
