Half-brothers Joël and Régis have nothing in common but their father, who they barely know. Joël is unemployed and lacks initiative. France, a "racist country" according to him, is the cause of all his woes and being black is his constant excuse not to look for work or even pay for his bus ticket.
Régis is his totally integrated side. He is so well integrated, in fact, that he denies his black half and can't stand people referring to his origins. If you believed in what he says, you'd think crime and immigration go hand in hand. Called to their dying father's beside in the West Indies, all they receive for inheritance is the certificate declaring the freedom granted to their slave ancestors. The document has been passed down through the family from generation to generation. The brothers rip the certificate up, impervious to its symbolic value.
Determined to punish them for what they've just done, a mysterious elderly aunt, who has been keeping her eye on them since they arrived, decides to take them back in time. Cast back to 1780, smack dab in the slavery period, Joël and Régis will be sold at the market as slaves. They must join forces, not only to escape from the plantation, but also to find a way to get back to the 21st century.

Apple has revealed that it expects users will replace their iPhone after just three years.
The Cupertino giant estimates that the Apple Watch and iPhone will last for three years with its first owner, while Mac computers and the Apple TV should last for four years.
In a question and answer section published on Apple's site, outlining the company's environmental targets, Apple estimates the life expectancy for various devices under their first owner, along with the amount of greenhouse gases they are expected to contribute in that time.
Apple analyses the greenhouse gas life cycle for products by looking at the hardware components, size and weight, daily usage patterns, shipping methods and disposal practices.
"Years of use, which are based on first owners, are assumed to be four years for OS X and tvOS devices and three years for iOS and watchOS devices," said Apple in the report.
Is your iPhone built to die?
Conspiracies about whether Apple builds its products so that they die within a few years have circulated for years.
In 2014 Laura Trucco, then a PhD economics student, analysed the number of Google searches for "iPhone slow" across the world over the last seven years and found that the search term spiked whenever a new model was released.
In an attempt to prove the theory, iPhone users have carried out tests involving phones running older software and updated versions to prove that Apple self-sabotages its out-of-date hardware, possibly to encourage users to upgrade sooner.
As part of its new environmental awareness push Apple overhauled the app store this week with a range of Apps for Earth, created in partnership with the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) to raise money and support for conservation.
Apple helped build custom content for 27 apps that promote the WWF's mission, which includes conservation of wildlife, forests, oceans and fresh water. It will donate 100 per cent of the profits to the charities they're associated with from April 14 to 24.
Similar to Apple's Campaign for (RED) in 2014, Apps for Earth involves updates to popular apps such as Kendall & Kylie, Enlight, and Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes.

Q: Harry Potter and religion Witch hunting was standard practice for muggles of old. One can argue that the main reason was fear of the unknown, but it is established (Beedle tales) that one major component of said fear was religious.
How about the other way? Do magic folk follow any religious practices?

A: Possibly.
The Fat Friar was a wizard and part of the church.
There is no mention of any wizards actually taking part in worship, attending religious ceremonies, or celebrating religious holidays - the closest ever seen is Hogwarts's secular Christmas festivities. However, Hufflepuff's house ghost, the Fat Friar, was part of the church when he was alive. He was also undoubtedly a wizard, and attended Hogwarts himself.

"New students!' said the Fat Friar, smiling around at them. 'About to be sorted, I suppose?'
A few people nodded mutely.
'Hope to see you in Hufflepuff!' said the Friar. 'My old house, you know." - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 7 (The Sorting Hat)

The Pottermore writing on the Hogwarts ghosts confirms that he was indeed part of the church as well.

Hufflepuff house is haunted by the Fat Friar, who was executed because senior churchmen grew suspicious of his ability to cure the pox merely by poking peasants with a stick, and his ill-advised habit of pulling rabbits out of the communion cup. - Hogwarts Ghosts (wizardingworld.com)

So, the Fat Friar would indeed have taken part in religious practices.

Additionally, Kendra and Ariana Dumbledore's tomb has a biblical quote.

"She pointed to the dark stone. Harry stooped down and saw, upon the frozen, lichen-spotted granite, the words Kendra Dumbledore and, a short way below her dates of birth and death, and her daughter Ariana. There was also a quotation:

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 16 (Godric's Hollow)

True that it may have allowed Apple to milk diehard Apple fans and make a neat profit over the high costs that come with a new product launch. But the company's late entry into a market with well-established products like Alphabet's (GOOGL - Free Report)	Google Home Mini and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report)	Dot that were more capable at a fraction of the cost showed that this couldn't be a long term plan. Especially so given its need to build the installed base to further its goal of metamorphosing into a services company.
With bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. in machine learning from the Université de Montréal, Goodfellow left Google for Tesla (TSLA - Free Report)	in mid-2013 only to return in 2017.
The New York Times reported that the Apple's News+ service brought over 200,000 subscribers in the first 48 hours of its availability.
On April 4, media reports surfaced that Intel (INTC - Free Report)	would be unable to provide the 5G modems for Apple's 2020 iPhones because of repeated delays in its development.
The original plan was to sell XMM 8160 modem samples to Apple early this year, followed by the complete version in early 2020. But Intel itself pushed that timeline to the second half.
Recent media reports suggest further delays as well as Apple's attempt to tap other sources while also building its own 5G modem.
But Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report)	is unlikely to offer its technology given the court cases Apple has dragged it through, Samsung and Huawei will likely not have sufficient volumes given their own 5G ambitions, while Mediatek is unsuitable for Apple's premium devices.
Apple's internal team is reportedly 1,000-1,200 strong, but its effort is running late with respect to the competition. Even if it buys out Intel's entire 5G effort as one analyst speculated (it is a less profitable business for Intel), Apple won't have a 5G phone in 2020. That's just too bad because most of the competition will ship 5G devices this year.

– krążownik pancernopokładowy japońskiej marynarki wojennej z przełomu XIX i  XX wieków, zbudowany  w Wielkiej Brytanii. Jedyny okręt swojego typu. Służył aktywnie podczas wojny japońsko-rosyjskiej, w trakcie której został utracony w 1904 na minie.

Historia
Krążownik pancernopokładowy "Takasago" został zamówiony przez Japonię w ramach programu finansowego na 1896 rok w brytyjskiej stoczni Armstrong Whitworth w Elswick (Newcastle upon Tyne). Głównym projektantem był Sir Philip Watts. "Takasago" stanowił rozwinięcie zbudowanego uprzednio w tej stoczni krążownika "Yoshino" i podobnie jak on zaliczał się do tzw. "elswickich krążowników" – średniej wielkości, lecz szybkich i silnie uzbrojonych w szybkostrzelne działa średniego kalibru. Klasyfikowany był w Japonii jako krążownik II klasy. Dalszym rozwinięciem tej serii były dwa krążowniki typu Kasagi.

Opis
Okręt praktycznie powtarzał konstrukcję krążownika "Yoshino". Podobnie jak on miał mało typową architekturę kadłuba, z podniesionym zarówno pokładem dziobowym jak i rufowym. Dziób miał formę taranową. Spaliny z kotłów odprowadzane były przed dwa wysokie, pochylone kominy na śródokręciu; sylwetkę uzupełniały dwa pochylone, palowe maszty. Nieco tylko została powiększona nadbudówka dziobowa.

Największa zmiana dotyczyła wzmocnienia uzbrojenia - 4 działa kalibru 152 mm i 8 dział 120 mm zostały zastąpione przez 2 działa kalibru 203 mm i 10 dział 120 mm. Wszystkie były umieszczone w pojedynczych stanowiskach na pokładzie, chronione maskami pancernymi. Oba działa 203 mm umieszczone były w osi symetrii okrętu, na pokładzie dziobowym i rufowym, z szerokim polem ostrzału, natomiast działa 120 mm rozmieszczone były wzdłuż burt na śródokręciu, na sponsonach pokładu górnego, po 5 na burtę. Dwa dziobowe działa po obu stronach nadbudówki dziobowej, mogły strzelać bezpośrednio do przodu. Wzmocniono też uzbrojenie pomocnicze, które stanowiło 12 pojedynczych dział 76 mm (umieszczonych na burtach, pomiędzy działami 120 mm oraz na sponsonach pokładu dziobowego i rufowego nad skrajnymi działami 120 mm) i 6 dział 47 mm, w miejsce 22 dział 47 mm. Nie zmienione pozostało 5 nadwodnych wyrzutni torpedowych. Podobnie, jak w poprzednim typie opancerzenie kadłuba ograniczało się do wewnętrznego pokładu pancernego o grubości 114 mm na bocznych skosach, lecz grubość części płaskiej zwiększono do 63 mm. Chronione pancerzem do 114 mm były też maski dział, a także opancerzona była wieża dowodzenia.

W konstrukcji "Takasago" priorytet położono na dużą szybkość i silne uzbrojenie, lecz z powodu ostrych linii kadłuba i wysoko umiejscowionej ciężkiej artylerii, miał on nie najlepszą dzielność morską i był podatny na kołysanie. Oprócz silnej artylerii, zaletą był gruby pokład pancerny, mający chronić żywotne części kadłuba przed pociskami 203 mm.

Historia służby
"Takasago" wziął udział w wojnie japońsko-rosyjskiej w 1904, wchodząc w skład 3. Dywizjonu krążowników 1. Floty, dowodzonego przez kontradmirała Shigetō Dewa. Dywizjon ten służył m.in. jako szybki zespół rozpoznawczy floty (oprócz "Takasago", zbliżone do niego krążowniki "Yoshino", "Kasagi" i "Chitose"). Brał udział głównie w działaniach pod Port Arturem. Jego dowódcą był wówczas, od lipca 1903, komandor Hajime Ishibashi.

W nocy na 13 grudnia 1904 wszedł na rosyjską minę z zagrody postawionej przez niszczyciel "Sierdityj" (typu Sokoł), 37 mil na południe od Port Artura, na pozycji , po czym zatonął w dzień. Zginęło 280 (według innych źródeł 204) ludzi załogi

A landing page is a web page that drives consumer traffic to your business.
A landing page is a web page that drives consumer traffic to your business and if done correctly, this can turn traffic into big bucks.
Your landing page is where visitors may go to find out more about a promotion or a specific service so it has to be intriguing and informative enough to hold their interest.
Above all other online marketing materials, a company landing page is perhaps the single most crucial web tool to use if you want to secure your target audience.
So what is a landing page exactly, and what can it do for your business?
One of the main things a landing page can do for you is help increase your web traffic by an astonishing amount. A clothing retailer, for example, may generate a decent amount of traffic in referring visitors to the homepage but this will deliver fairly feeble results. This is because a homepage, regardless of a striking layout and appearance, is noncommittal and rarely sends visitors in the right direction. A landing page, on the other hand, will prompt visitors to complete an action, to stay a while and to hopefully leave with a purchase and a positive impression. Great landing pages make use of optimized keywords with the intention of matching relevant search results to that of your targeted web page - sending more traffic your way and reeling in an audience that is specific to your brand.
How you choose to setup your landing page will radically impact the number of visitors to your website. Design and presentation can play an important role in chasing up more leads as demonstrated by SITE123 software. Traditionally, web users are often directed to a company's homepage via a blog link or referral email, but this is often a waste when a landing page carries far more potential. A landing page prompts visitors with an offer to complete, whether this is in the form of a discounted insurance form or a seasonal sales bargain. Sending visitors to your homepage may generate a few leads but these are rare if people have no prior intentions. Landing pages undoubtedly make online browsing more interesting. By directing consumer attention to a solution to their query, you can effortlessly secure loyal customers overtime, ensuring that the majority of visits will bring you results.
Your landing page will always be asking something - albeit, subtly - of visitors, so it goes without saying that the content must be compelling enough to convince potential customers. The best kind of landing pages will keep the main information short and sweet to ensure visitors can focus on whatever it is you wish to direct them to and feature very clear and basic signage i.e. when the offer expires, where similar products/items can be found on your site etc. Many web-building templates provide an array of customization options that can initiate web traffic even further with features such as in-built payment systems and mobile optimization. The latter feature in particular can make your landing page more accessible, as you can embrace social media users and sharing options to triple consumer traffic and become the best in lead management.

Mycobacteriosis in fish
by Norwegian School of Veterinary Science
Mycobacteriosis in fish is a disease that is difficult to detect and therefore often underdiagnosed. For the same reason, information about the effects of this disease on the fish farming industry has been limited.
The development of two diagnostic tests has led to the discovery of a mycobacterium which causes disease in both cod and salmon and has never been detected in Norway before.
Reports submitted to the authorities of mycobacteriosis (tuberculosis) in fish have been sporadic and have only stemmed from aquarium fish or wild fish, not farmed fish. This is probably due to underdiagnosis. Adam Zerihun's doctoral research has led to the development of two methods of diagnosis based on real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. The tests are extremely sensitive and have been instrumental in detecting a mycobacterium that has never been found in Norway before. The bacterium was found both in farmed salmon and in burbot and experimental infection showed that Atlantic cod was very susceptible to the bacterium and became diseased. The isolated bacterium was identified as Mycobacterium salmoniphilum.
In cod and burbot infected with M. salmoniphilum, Zerihun discovered serious nodules, while only small or no such changes were found in infected Atlantic salmon. The formation of nodules in cod was shown to undergo several phases of development. The identification and characterization of these different stages are important for the appraisal of disease development and in order to estimate the time of infection. Zerihun's study indicates that the occurrence of the disease in farmed Atlantic salmon and in cod is more widespread than previously thought, both with regard to the range of host and climate variations.
Since the formation of nodules is not a typical symptom in salmon infected with M. salmoniphilum, it is highly probable that many cases of tuberculosis in salmon remain undiscovered. Fish that lose weight without there being any apparent disease or specific cause are classified in fish farming as "lost fish". A mycobacterial infection can be lurking behind various different symptoms, where weight loss is one characteristic.
For this reason, many salmon infected with tuberculosis can be the undetected reason for losses in the industry. The stress that arises when many fish are kept in closely packed surroundings weakens their immune system and allows mycobacteria to reproduce in many individuals. These factors are known to promote the occurrence of mycobacteriosis.
DVM Mulualem Adam Zerihun defended his doctoral research on 11th January 2013 at the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science with a thesis entitled: "Mycobacteriosis in marine and freshwater fishes: characterization of the disease and identification of the infectious agents".

Vibes: the energy your immediate surroundings give off. A concept people toss around, but don't truly understand. Whether or not you will click with someone else is completely dependent upon the vibes you both are eliciting. When you try and connect with another person and he or she is not on the same wavelength as you, you will find that the vibes you both are giving off are opposite in nature. The conversation will not flow naturally; it will be as if you are pulling teeth -- it's forced.
The time you spend in your twenties is mentally exhausting. You are at a point in which you are facing circumstances you never have before. You are finally self-sufficient and working towards your own income. You are reliant upon yourself and responsible for your own outcomes. If you are not happy with something that is going on in your life, it's up to you and only you to make the necessary adjustments. If the company you keep is bringing you down or filling your life with anxiety, it's time to make some adjustments. Don't feel guilty for feeling this way -- it is the natural progression of life.
The people you used to hang out with usually do not fulfill the same roles now as they previously did. Maybe you don't realize it, but chances are you are limiting your contact with these people without even knowing it. When you are exhausted and run down from your workday, you shouldn't be reaching out to the people who will exacerbate any of your stress. Wouldn't you rather just be alone and unwind from the day?
As lonely as this can seem, isn't it in your best interest to be alone than with people who do not bring anything of value to your life? There's no reason to hang out with a person just for the sake of being in the company of others. Wait to find the people or person you can just "hang" with -- you know, the person, whom after you sat in complete and utter silence with, leaves you feeling that you had the most meaningful conversation of your life. Someone whose mere presence brings you comfort and ease. These are the types of people you should be spending your energy on, not the people you feel obligated to because of past history.

My first way to solve the problem was just beginning to eat healthier in general. Whatever sort of writing you're thinking about doing, no matter your purpose, just consider it like you're introducing yourself to a stranger.

A fantastic Ladderax set up by Staples of London.
Stylish and functional, this is the classic Staples Ladderax mid century shelving system. The black metal uprights and easy removable supports, allow the teak cabinetry to be positioned wherever required. This is a very versatile piece of retro furniture. Ladderax adjustable, modular shelving systems are a true mid century design classic and are very highly sought after today. Ladderax was designed by Robert Heal in 1964 and manufactured by Staples of Cricklewood in London for sale in high end stores like Harrods, Heals, etc. Heal was influenced by the Danish school of design. This mid century Scandinavian design movement was all about reinterpreting simple, linear shapes from earlier design periods and making them 'simpler'.
This system features one full height and two shorter bays of Ladderax, with two shelves, separated by black metal ladders. Each of the four cabinets has an adjustable internal shelf. One cabinet is open fronted, two have sliding teak doors and the fourth has sliding glass doors. These can be used to store/display, for instance, books, records or glassware. Remember that the cabinets can be moved around and set at different heights to suit your needs and the bays can be configured in different arrangements too. There is also the option of splitting up the bays if you'd like to feature ladderax in two different places.
The Ladderax system combines upright 'ladders' that support shelves and cabinets, which sit on steel rods that hook onto the rungs of the ladders. One of the great benefits of Ladderax over its Scandinavian counterparts is that it doesn't need to be attached to the wall. The whole set up breaks down easily when it needs to be moved and is so simple to rebuild. You can also be clever and source extra cabinets, rods, shelves and/or ladders to allow you add to and alter your configuration.


Rauser commented on the OTF thusly: "As for the principle that 'you have to assume x is false and then establish its truth before you can believe it,' I'd like John to be consistent and apply the principle to itself.'"
Randal, there is some really solid overwhelming evidence that when it comes to your religion you should presume it has the burden of proof, which is to assume it is false. It's hypocritical to do otherwise, since that's how you REASONABLY approach all other religions that you reject. If your faith passed the OTF then you would be crowing about it. The fact that you intuitively recognize it doesn't is the only reason you rail against the OTF. There are a great many things you accept that you would change your mind about if someone presented sufficient evidence against them. Evidence has a way of breaking through to us all. Why doesn't your faith have that kind of sufficient evidence for it?
Let's put it this way: If God created us with minds that need sufficient evidence to believe and did not provide the needed evidence to believe, then he took away with one hand what he demands on the other hand. It also means that reasonable people who demand sufficient evidence to believe, reasonable people who were not born in a Christian privileged culture, will be condemned to hell by that same God simply because they were born as outsiders.

Almost $1.5M Extended in Consumer Loans to Pennsylvanians with Disabilities for Assistive Technology in 2018
Posted June 3rd, 2019 by Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation in About, AgrAbility, Assistive Technology, Cents and $ensibility, Financial Education, Funding Assistance Centers, Funding Resources, Gallery, General, Loan Programs, Loans, News, OVR, Partnerships, PATF, PATF Staff, Presentations, Publications, Reports
Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation Celebrates Its Successes in 2018 and Releases its 2018-2019 Annual Report that Outlines the Organization's Latest Accomplishments, Including the Publication of Funding Your Assistive Technology: A Guide to Funding Resources in Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg (June 3, 2019)— The latest accomplishments of Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) were highlighted at a press conference held today at the Capitol Rotunda at 10:30 a.m., hosted by Nancy Murray, President of The Arc of Greater Pittsburgh/ACHIEVA and the in-coming Board President of PATF, and Susan Tachau, Chief Executive Officer of PATF.
PATF continues to achieve outstanding results for individuals with disabilities and older Pennsylvanians, helping them purchase the assistive technology (AT) devices and services they need. The program leverages a small amount of public funding into a large number of loans that strengthen our communities. In addition, the repayment of loans from past borrowers provides funding for future borrowers. Remarkably, even though PATF makes many non-traditional loans, its loan loss rate for the last year is only 2.1%, which is better than the industry nonperformance average.
Through loans valued at more than $36M ($1.5M in 2018) and with over 14,000 Pennsylvanians helped since its founding in 1998, PATF is the only Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in Pennsylvania that extends consumer loans to individuals with disabilities and their families.
At today's press conference, PATF released its 2018-2019 Annual Report, demonstrating a continued demand for its financial products. The Report highlights the following noteworthy statistics for 2018-19:
278 no-interest or low-interest consumer loans were extended worth $1.5M.
More than 1,178 people were helped through Information & Assistance (I&A) services.
122 trainings were conducted about financial education, funding resources and assistive technology.
Nancy Murray spoke about the importance of helping people with disabilities and family members navigate the complexities of financing their AT needs. She urged everyone to pick up a copy of PATF's new, comprehensive book, Funding Your Assistive Technology: A Guide to Funding Resources in Pennsylvania. Published in April, 454 people have already downloaded the book from PATF's website, www.patf.us.
Susan Tachau thanked Governor Wolf and the General Assembly for their long-standing support of PATF. She stated, "We are so grateful to the Governor and our elected officials for making it possible for PATF to help Pennsylvanians with disabilities of all ages and incomes help themselves. Most of our borrowers do not have access to conventional lending markets—and therefore, do not have access to the capital that's needed to purchase assistive technology. We remain committed to creating programs that are meaningful and respond to our ever-changing world of technology."
Pennsylvania policymakers spoke about their continued commitment to provide essential public and private funding for the program. Speakers included:
Senators Camera Bartolotta, Bob Mensch, and Christine Tartaglione; and
Representatives Sheryl Delozier, Patty Kim, Brandon Markosek, and Melissa Shusterman.
Additional speakers included:
Ms. D.J. Stemmler, PATF borrower featured in the 2018-2019 Annual Report, stated "PATF was willing to fund the van and the adaptive equipment-something most commercial banks won't do. Without this loan, I wouldn't have been able to continue to work."
David Gates, Esq., Senior Attorney, PA Health Law Project and PATF Board member, who discussed the importance of integrating financial education into community programming and he encouraged attendance at PATF's upcoming conference, Vision for the Future: Financial Empowerment for Individuals with Disabilities on October 3, 2019 at the Keystone Building, Harrisburg.
Matthew Seeley, Esq., Executive Director, PA Statewide Independent Living Council, who discussed blending PATF funding with PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) funds for the purchase of his van so that he could work and be active in the community.
Abbie Spackman and Kendra Martin, PA AgrAbility Project, who talked about PA's AgrAbility Program, a program that helps farmers with disabilities remain in production agriculture, and their collaboration with PATF.
Nancy Murray closed the press conference by announcing that PATF was honored to be included again in the Governor's proposed budget for fiscal year 2020 in a line item called Assistive Technology Financing (or Devices), within the Department of Labor & Industry. The appropriation supports PATF's operations on behalf of people with disabilities of all ages and incomes throughout the Commonwealth. PATF is advocating for an increase of $50,000 (total of $500,000) to support the costs associated with outreach and underwriting new loan applications and providing financial education trainings and one-on-one coaching.
Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF), founded in 1998, provides education and financing opportunities, and advocates for people with disabilities and older Pennsylvanians, helping them to acquire assistive technology devices and services that improve the quality of their lives. It is headquartered in King of Prussia, PA and uses a network of Funding Assistance Coordinators across the state to assist prospective borrowers. The organization's website is www.patf.us. Contact them at (888) 744-1938, or patf@patf.us. PATF is also on Facebook and Twitter.

Boyle Heights youth, police seek end to violence through dialogue
Ramona Gardens residents Eddie Licon, left, Amanda Gutierrez and Marlene Arazo, walk through the public housing development in Boyle Heights operated by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles on Friday, Jan. 13, 2017. There are six different surrounding gangs in the neighborhood where they grew up.

Amid long-running tension in East L.A.'s Ramona Gardens, youth and police are turning to dialogue to improve relations and stem violence.
The youth-led workshops began as a response to gang violence and heavy police presence and have since gained backing from some LAPD officials as an alternative way to build better community alliances. Starting this year, law enforcement and youth are taking steps to expand the program to other parts of the city.
But the fallout from a recent shooting hints at challenges still ahead.
A history of fraught relations
For decades, Ramona Gardens has drawn attention for gang activity. The public housing project, operated by the L.A. City Housing Authority, holds nearly 500 units and is wedged just north of the 10 freeway and bordered by railroad tracks. For years, a gang known as Big Hazard dominated the area, and has been subject to gang injunctions, according to LAPD maps. In 2010, the city moved to install surveillance cameras to monitor the area.
The situation has improved in recent years, some residents and police said, but at times violence still hits the community.
That's drawn action from federal authorities, such as a 2014 raid that involved the FBI and led to indictments for gang members.
This has all contributed to a tense atmosphere, where some of the buildings are painted in colorful murals that chronicle local residents who have been slain in police or gang-related shootings.
This mural of the Virgin Mary inside Ramona Gardens was just repainted this past summer. Many residents in the public housing development are Catholic. Every year on December 12 at 5 a.m., there's a celebration here with mariachi music.
"There are generations of families who have had distrust with police and that's not going to change overnight," said Robert Arcos, Deputy Chief for Operations at LAPD's Central Bureau.
But the workshops are an opportunity for officers and youth to sit down away from the daily stress of the streets, where most interactions take place. Instead, parties with a long history of misunderstanding can ask questions of one another, dispel rumors and, most importantly, he said, find a constructive way to combat the violence that has plagued the community.
"That gets us in the door and if we get in the door, we get a chance to maybe sit at the table," said Arcos. "I think that gets at the whole foundation of relationship policing and connecting."
'Enough is enough'
Growing up in Ramona Gardens, Eddie Licon often witnessed the heavy police and gang presence in the blocks around his house. To him, things weren't getting better, so he and his friends decided to try a different approach.
"Enough was enough already," said Licon. "We've seen this play out our entire lives and we figured that something needed to be done."
Licon and two of his friends – Marlene Arazo and Amanda Gutierrez – called a meeting between police and youth. It was 2011. All three were 16 at the time.
"That was the first ever time that we brought these two groups together," said Licon.
The goal, in Licon's words, was to "look at the problem deeper in order to find a lasting solution as opposed to just booking people and putting them into prisons."
Eddie Licon, right, is currently a student at the University of Southern California. Licon grew up in Ramona Gardens in Boyle Heights.
The idea for a meeting evolved into a more formal workshop, led by youth facilitators that involved specific activities and guided conversation aimed at addressing the roots of the problems. And they came up with a name: Through Our Eyes.
Still there was pushback from some of their peers.
"My homies said 'You're a sellout'," said Arazo, of the criticism she heard from other teens. Many of them, she said, could describe negative experiences with local police, which had led to deep distrust. They questioned why she would be in the same room with officers.
But she stuck with it.
"Better than anyone, youth know what they want and youth know what other youth need to succeed," she said.
"A lot of times, youth see the police in the worst times in their lives," said Stacey Vandersall, a sergeant with the LAPD who worked at Ramona Gardens. "They only experience the police in those types of settings: emergency, escalated situations."
Robert Arcos, Deputy Chief for Operations at LAPD's Central Bureau, has backed the youth-led workshops called Through Our Eyes. "It also just takes one story, one story to change somebody's mind," he said.

Vandersall was first assigned to Ramona Gardens in 2011 as part of an effort from the LAPD and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles to foster better relations through a program called Community Safety Partnership. The program opened with 40 spots for officers assigned to specific housing projects across the city. Vandersall was one of them.
"At first when we first went in, it was difficult," she said. "We heard a lot of rumors, a lot of stories, there was a lot of history, so we were apprehensive."
But at that first workshop, which she attended, she saw an opening for change.
"You would listen to the youth and they would have such a negative perception of the law enforcement, that you thought, you would never be able to change it," she said. "But when you build that relationship, when you go there and you show up and you say hello to people and you listen to what they have to say, people change their minds."
Taking the dialogue citywide
"When I was growing up, there was no communication with the officers," said Lou Calanche, executive director of the community group Legacy LA, where the workshops take place. She grew up in Ramona Gardens in the 1990s. "We just didn't talk to the police and stayed away."
But when the three youth – Arazo, Licon and Gutierrez – approached her with the idea to start the workshops, she saw an opportunity to make a fresh start.
"Police officers can't solve all the community's problems," she said. "We need to invest in young people. Not just in Ramona Gardens, but in other areas."

Since the first workshop in 2011, the youth have revamped the curriculum, changing some of the language and dropping parts that didn't work. Earlier this year, they completed an 18-page training manual for other youth facilitators.
That's drawn the support from the LAPD.
"When you listen to the title of the program, 'Through Our Eyes,' it hits you right at the core," said the LAPD's Robert Arcos. "That is exactly it."
It's a chance, he said, for officers to correct misconceptions about their daily work as well as for them to listen directly to what youth have to say about how they experience policing. And he's pledged some of the nuts and bolts to try to make it work: training hours for officers and opening up other stations to try it out.
"We realize that communication is a two-way street," said Licon, now 20 and a third-year student at the University of Southern California. "We really need to work together to create any type of change."
Still the road ahead has its share of obstacles.
"We want them to see us as youth and not gang members" says Amanda Gutierrez, left, while looking at a mural memorializing a community member killed by police in the 1990s at Ramona Gardens in Boyle Heights on Friday, Jan. 13, 2017.
At a workshop earlier this month at the Legacy LA offices, Amanda Gutierrez said it had been a struggle to keep the meeting on track. Two weeks before, a friend was shot and killed and some of the youth had dropped out.
"I've been in pain and it's really draining," said Gutierrez. "At times, I felt like not doing this workshop, just cause I felt like I can't see eye to eye with officers because I feel confused."
Next to her Marlene Arazo wore a white t-shirt with their friend's name, Jonathan Valdovinos, and the dates of his birth and death. According to police, an assailant shot and killed Valdovinos, 23, around 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 on Murchison Street, a path that leads into Ramona Gardens. Police are investigating it as a homicide. His friends said he was shot walking home from a market while carrying his lunch in his hands. The shooting – in broad daylight – and arrests that took place after a memorial put the community on edge.
Still, Gutierrez and the other youth went forward with the workshop, with seven teens and eight officers. At times it was tense, but it ended up lasting nearly two hours.
Coming so soon after the death of a neighborhood friend, it was a sign of what was possible, said Gutierrez.
"Reflecting back on our whole mission, it empowers me to move forward," she said.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (IATA: CDG), also known as Roissy Airport (or just Roissy in French), in the Paris area, is one of the world's principal aviation centres, as well as France's largest airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic. It is located within portions of several communes, 25 km (16 mi) to the northeast of Paris. The airport serves as the principal hub for Air France and is a European hub for Delta Air Lines.
In 2010, the airport handled 58,164,612 passengers and 525,314 aircraft movements, making it the world's seventh busiest airport and Europe's second busiest airport (after London Heathrow) in passengers served. It also is the world's tenth busiest and Europe's busiest airport in aircraft movements. In cargo traffic, the airport is the fifth busiest in the world and the busiest in Europe, having handled 2,054,515 metric tonnes of cargo.


The annual field trip. Not much in RE teaching is likely to create such a response. A response of anticipation and excitement from the pupils at the thought of leaving the school gates for an hour or more. A response of fear and opposition from some parents who fear this is the first step in a process of indoctrination and radicalisation of their child. Finally, a response from the teacher of wondering if it is all worth it and wouldn't it be easier just to photocopy some worksheets and stay in school.
I am a believer in the value of the RE field trip and have organised and led these in each of the schools I have worked in.
In my first school we took Year 7s out for one hour, during their RE lesson, walked them round the corner to the local Anglican Church and met the local vicar who would give an engaging and accessible talk to the pupils. This was very smooth and hassle-free. Whilst in the same school we also delivered the slightly more ambitious trip for GCSE pupils to a stunning local Mandir which was purpose built in a traditional Indian style. The first year the trip ran relatively smoothly with an engaging speaker and the pupils learnt lots, the biggest trauma this year was the pupils' nervousness regarding the issue of prashad, they understood that it could cause offense to refuse but were concerned regarding what they would be given. A collective sigh of relief followed the distribution of Penguin biscuits and Walkers crisps – no 14 year old would refuse chocolate biscuits and crisps and all received them with genuine gratitude. The success of this trip lulled me into a false sense of security for the following year. This year we encountered perils 1 & 2 of the RE field trip.
Despite the fact that his daughter was completing a GCSE RE course, of which 50% was a study of Hinduism, one Muslim father refused permission for his daughter to visit the Mandir and there was no convincing him. This did not hold back his daughter who produced an outstanding piece of coursework which not only described, but evoked the atmosphere of a Mandir. When I questioned her on how she had produced such a descriptive and evocative account without being on the trip she responded that she had based her coursework on the many Bollywood movies which she had watched which included scenes set in Mandirs.
In my second school we embarked on the somewhat ambitious idea of taking all the Year 7s to the local Gurdwara. The reason this was ambitious was that they would go in a relay fashion, one group would go down in the school minibus and they would have their talk, then go back to school, at which point the minibus would collect the next group and bus them down. All went smoothly till it came time for group 1 to return to school, at this point they were enjoying the Langar meal and a polite comment to the effect that they needed to get back to school as the other group were waiting to come down was met with a polite request to allow them to eat. Aware of the importance of sewa and langar in Sikhism I swallowed my obsessive punctuality and tried not to visualise group 2 standing outside the school waiting for the minibus.
In my third school I set out to tackle three places of worship in one day and complete a comparison. We set about to visit the Roman Catholic Church up the road from the school, a protestant church and the local Masjid. As the local Masjid was a converted building and had very limited space we had to take the year group in smaller groups. This school was in the Caribbean and this trip required the private hire of the school buses and the collection of a small fee to cover the bus fare from each pupil. I knew that some of the pupils were from very impoverished backgrounds and was concerned that some pupils may miss what I felt was an important educational opportunity due to financial limitations. In the end my fears were laid aside – the draw of being out of school and getting lunch at the local burger restaurant was too strong and all children returned their permission slips and bus fares. Unfortunately, though we did experience peril 2, and the danger of doing multiple visits in one day is that it becomes so much more obvious that the Roman Catholic priest boring speaker is boring when he is visited immediately after or before the engaging and relevant youth pastor of the protestant church who was big on audience participation.
Having successfully visited three places of worship in a day, in my current school I decided to 'go big or go home'. Year 6 here complete a comparative study of places of worship so what better to bring it to life than with a field trip. As the nearest places of worship, other than churches, are in the nearest city which is a one hour drive down a pretty rubbish road (I teach in rural Kenya), it seemed like a good idea to cram as much into one day as possible, Roman Catholic and Anglican cathedrals, a Mandir, a Gurdwara and a Masjid. The planning for this trip was the most interesting. As only one of the places of worship responded to an email enquiry I found myself, on one day at the end of the summer holiday, turning up at the cathedrals, mandir and masjids and asking if I could bring a school trip. The Anglican Cathedral had security at the gate (not unusual in Kenya) who wanted to know who I wanted to speak to – I didn't know. Maybe I should just have said 'God', as it does make you wonder about someone who just wants to pray in the Cathedral between services. The first masjid I arrived at initially had no-one available to speak to me, when I returned at the time stated I realised it was actually namaz time, the Imam was very helpful and referred me to another Imam at another masjid. The pandit at the Mandir is a non-English speaker who was translated for by his daughter. On the day of the visit he called in an English speaking Hindu who was very good with the children. This trip introduced me to perils 3 and 4.
When I tried to confirm the visit on the phone a few days before arriving with 60 ten to eleven-year-olds I eventually gave up and passed the phone to the school secretary with the words: "He doesn't speak good English, can you try in swahilli?", she tried and then returned the phone to me saying: "He doesn't speak good swahilli either," I drafted in the school's recruitment officer, who's Indian who called in Hindi. For this year's trip, the recruitment officer has left the school so I had to recruit one of our Year 7s who is from an Indian family and speaks Hindi.
When I tried to organise this trip the Gurdwara was the only place which responded to my email, they met with me and agreed to the trip. On the day of the trip our guide didn't show so I had to talk the children through the Gurdwara myself. This year our guides didn't show at either the Gurdwara, Mandir or the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
Whilst we want our pupils to experience a real place of worship we have to remember that these places are used for worship and that most worshippers do not want to experience a school field trip. Trying to create an itinerary which visits 4 places of worship ( I dropped the Anglican Cathedral from the day on the second year) in one day and works around namaz at the masjid, mass at the Cathedral and the fact the Mandir is only open till 12 is quite a challenge though one we have managed so far.
This one is in everything you say and do. If the children are engaged and fascinated by what you do in your lessons they'll likely want to participate in the trips and will do their utmost to convince their parents to let them participate. Speaking to parents either in person or by phone will give you a chance to hear their concerns and to allay their fears.
Unfortunately, unless you have visited the place previously and know who will be speaking to you, there's always a very real possibility that you will experience the boring speaker, the non- English speaker or that no speaker at all will be there to meet you. Prep your pupils before so that they have questions which they want to ask, also create a work booklet for them to complete during the day. I prefer open-ended questions. Such as, how do you feel in this place? Draw something you find interesting? What can you smell or hear? This way you can always suggest to the boring speaker that the pupils be given some time to complete their booklets.
It is very difficult to accurately gauge the time needed the first time you run a trip. Being stuck in a place where no speaker has shown up and the children are bored can be just as much a headache for the teacher as an engaging speaker who has the rapt attention of the pupils while the teacher anxiously looks at their watch, knowing that they need to move on to another place or return to school. Always allow yourself more time than you think you will need and let each speaker know, in advance of the visit and also upon arrival what time you need to leave. Make a note of how much time you spent in each place and whether it was enough, too much or too little and use this to inform planning for next year's itinerary.
Start planning early and be flexible. Consider where you are most likely to come up against an act of worship, probably the masjid with namaz 5 times a day, and try to schedule those in your itinerary first. Then work the places of worship where you're less likely to encounter worship around them till you have timings and an itinerary that works.
RE field trips are worth it – they bring our pupils into a direct experience with religion in a real-life experience and in my opinion are worth us as teachers facing these perils and any others which appear along the way.

Grubhub considers strategic options, including possible sale - WSJ
Published Wed, Jan 8 20201:23 PM EST
Jan 8 (Reuters) - Online food delivery company GrubHub Inc is considering strategic options that include a possible sale or an acquisition, the Wall Street Journal reported https://www.wsj.com/articles/grubhub-considers-strategic-options-including-possi b l e - s a l e - 1 1 5 7 8 5 0 5 8 3 2 ? m o d = s e a r c h r e s u l t s & p a g e = 1 & p o s = 1 on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
GrubHub has tapped financial advisers to help with the review, according to the report.
The food-delivery industry faces intensifying competition from Uber Technologies Incs UberEats, which has grown into a national competitor, and startups such as DoorDash and Postmates.
GrubHub's shares were up 12.9% at $54.89 in afternoon trade. They lost 37% in 2019, dragged lower by weak sales and an outlook cut in October.
Grubhub said it does not comment on market rumors or speculation, in response to a Reuters' request for comment. (Reporting by Ambhini Aishwarya in Bengaluru; Editing by Aditya Soni)

Q: Fetch a file from a local url with Python requests? I am using Python's requests library in one method of my application. The body of the method looks like this:
def handle_remote_file(url, **kwargs):
    response = requests.get(url, ...)
    buff = StringIO.StringIO()
    buff.write(response.content)
    ...
    return True

I'd like to write some unit tests for that method, however, what I want to do is to pass a fake local url such as:
class RemoteTest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.url = 'file:///tmp/dummy.txt'

    def test_handle_remote_file(self):
        self.assertTrue(handle_remote_file(self.url))

When I call requests.get with a local url, I got the KeyError exception below:
requests.get('file:///tmp/dummy.txt')

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/poolmanager.pyc in connection_from_host(self, host, port, scheme)
76
77         # Make a fresh ConnectionPool of the desired type
78         pool_cls = pool_classes_by_scheme[scheme]
79         pool = pool_cls(host, port, **self.connection_pool_kw)
80

KeyError: 'file'

The question is how can I pass a local url to requests.get?
PS: I made up the above example. It possibly contains many errors.

A: packages/urllib3/poolmanager.py pretty much explains it. Requests doesn't support local url.
pool_classes_by_scheme = {
    'http': HTTPConnectionPool,
    'https': HTTPSConnectionPool,
}

A: In a recent project, I've had the same issue. Since requests doesn't support the "file" scheme, I'll patch our code to load the content locally. First, I define a function to replace requests.get:
def local_get(self, url):
    "Fetch a stream from local files."
    p_url = six.moves.urllib.parse.urlparse(url)
    if p_url.scheme != 'file':
        raise ValueError("Expected file scheme")

    filename = six.moves.urllib.request.url2pathname(p_url.path)
    return open(filename, 'rb')

Then, somewhere in test setup or decorating the test function, I use mock.patch to patch the get function on requests:
@mock.patch('requests.get', local_get)
def test_handle_remote_file(self):
    ...

This technique is somewhat brittle -- it doesn't help if the underlying code calls requests.request or constructs a Session and calls that. There may be a way to patch requests at a lower level to support file: URLs, but in my initial investigation, there didn't seem to be an obvious hook point, so I went with this simpler approach.

A: As @WooParadog explained requests library doesn't know how to handle local files. Although, current version allows to define transport adapters.
Therefore you can simply define you own adapter which will be able to handle local files, e.g.:
from requests_testadapter import Resp
import os

class LocalFileAdapter(requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter):
    def build_response_from_file(self, request):
        file_path = request.url[7:]
        with open(file_path, 'rb') as file:
            buff = bytearray(os.path.getsize(file_path))
            file.readinto(buff)
            resp = Resp(buff)
            r = self.build_response(request, resp)

            return r

    def send(self, request, stream=False, timeout=None,
             verify=True, cert=None, proxies=None):

        return self.build_response_from_file(request)

requests_session = requests.session()
requests_session.mount('file://', LocalFileAdapter())
requests_session.get('file://<some_local_path>')

I'm using requests-testadapter module in the above example.

A: Here's a transport adapter I wrote which is more featureful than b1r3k's and has no additional dependencies beyond Requests itself. I haven't tested it exhaustively yet, but what I have tried seems to be bug-free.
import requests
import os, sys

if sys.version_info.major < 3:
    from urllib import url2pathname
else:
    from urllib.request import url2pathname

class LocalFileAdapter(requests.adapters.BaseAdapter):
    """Protocol Adapter to allow Requests to GET file:// URLs

    @todo: Properly handle non-empty hostname portions.
    """

    @staticmethod
    def _chkpath(method, path):
        """Return an HTTP status for the given filesystem path."""
        if method.lower() in ('put', 'delete'):
            return 501, "Not Implemented"  # TODO
        elif method.lower() not in ('get', 'head'):
            return 405, "Method Not Allowed"
        elif os.path.isdir(path):
            return 400, "Path Not A File"
        elif not os.path.isfile(path):
            return 404, "File Not Found"
        elif not os.access(path, os.R_OK):
            return 403, "Access Denied"
        else:
            return 200, "OK"

    def send(self, req, **kwargs):  # pylint: disable=unused-argument
        """Return the file specified by the given request

        @type req: C{PreparedRequest}
        @todo: Should I bother filling `response.headers` and processing
               If-Modified-Since and friends using `os.stat`?
        """
        path = os.path.normcase(os.path.normpath(url2pathname(req.path_url)))
        response = requests.Response()

        response.status_code, response.reason = self._chkpath(req.method, path)
        if response.status_code == 200 and req.method.lower() != 'head':
            try:
                response.raw = open(path, 'rb')
            except (OSError, IOError) as err:
                response.status_code = 500
                response.reason = str(err)

        if isinstance(req.url, bytes):
            response.url = req.url.decode('utf-8')
        else:
            response.url = req.url

        response.request = req
        response.connection = self

        return response

    def close(self):
        pass

(Despite the name, it was completely written before I thought to check Google, so it has nothing to do with b1r3k's.) As with the other answer, follow this with:
requests_session = requests.session()
requests_session.mount('file://', LocalFileAdapter())
r = requests_session.get('file:///path/to/your/file')

A: The easiest way seems using requests-file.
https://github.com/dashea/requests-file (available through PyPI too)
"Requests-File is a transport adapter for use with the Requests Python library to allow local filesystem access via file:// URLs."
This in combination with requests-html is pure magic :)

A: To load a file from a local URL, e.g. an image file you can do this:
import urllib
from PIL import Image

Image.open(urllib.request.urlopen('file:///path/to/your/file.png'))

A: I think simple solution for this will be creating temporary http server using python and using it.

*

*Put all your files in temporary folder eg. tempFolder

*Go to that directory and create a temporary http server in terminal/cmd as per your OS using command python -m http.server 8000 (Note 8000 is port no.)

*This will you give you a link to http server. You can access it from http://127.0.0.1:8000/

*Open your desired file in browser and copy the link to your url.

Valve is upgrading its Steam Deck ahead of release, but we still don't know how much it costs
Valve has quietly updated the specs to its yet-to-be-released official dock for Steam Deck gaming laptops, As I mentioned before Geek . Review. The Steam Deck technical specifications page originally stated that the dock will have one USB-A 3.1 port, two USB-A 2.0 ports, and one Ethernet port for networking, but the page says so now. all three The USB-A ports will use the much faster standard 3.1, and they now specify that the Ethernet port will actually be a Gigabit Ethernet port.
According to the Wayback Machine, Valve's Steam Deck technical specifications page listed the original specifications as of February 12, the diagram accompanying the docking indicated the Ethernet port for networking. But By February 22Specifications have been updated to include three USB-A 3.1 ports. And By February 25 – The first day the valve started Steam Deck Sale – Updated dock chart to show three USB-A 3.1 . ports And Gigabit Ethernet socket.
The original specifications for the berth (left) versus the updated specifications (right).
(The February 25 archive from The Wayback Machine is also the first time I've seen Valve use the title "Docking Station" instead of "Official Dock.")
The upgrades look good for the curb and I'm looking forward to picking one up for myself. I imagine a future where I could use the dock to play Steam games on the TV in my living room. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly when I'll be able to do that, because Valve only provided a vague dock release date in late spring 2022, and the company hasn't shared how much it might cost. Valve did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If you don't want to wait for the official Valve dock, the company says you can use other USB-C hubs instead, like my colleague Sean Hollister did. in his review. but i waited long enough For the surface itself, what are the other two months for the pavement?
