Q: How to go from printing [1, 2, 3] to printing 1, 2, 3 in a text file Python I am using the following loop to iterate over a numpy array and print into a separate text file.
c= np.array([1, 2, 3])
nc = c.astype(np.int)
for x in nc:
    print >> thing_here, x

yet when I open the thing_here text file it prints my array as [1, 2, 3] rather than 1, 2, 3
How can I get rid of the [ ]'s?

A: the join command will do this:
c = np.array([1,2,3])
c_joined = ' '.join(map(str,c))

If the array is already a list of strings, you can ignore the map() command and just use:
c = np.array([1,2,3])
c_joined = ' '.join(c)

Then do the print to file commands using this joined string. As a further note, np.savetxt() is a useful command

John Bancroft (1574–1640) was a bishop of Oxford and a University of Oxford administrator. He was Master of University College, Oxford.

John Bancroft was the nephew of Richard Bancroft (1544–1610), Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor of Oxford University. He was a student at Christ Church, Oxford. Bancroft was elected Master of University College unanimously in March 1610 due to his uncle's influence. The Front Quad of the college was rebuilt in stages from 1610, replacing the original medieval buildings, only to be completed much later in 1677.

In 1632, he relinquished his position of the Master of University College and became Bishop of Oxford.
As Bishop of Oxford, he erected Cuddesdon Palace, an episcopal palace.

Reader Dave is working his way through the One Hundred Push-Ups program, but found himself stopping after hitting a "magic number." To spur himself onward, he uses guilt psychology, random numbers, and a video recording.
... To combat this mental block, I started placing a camera next to me and recording myself doing pushups. To keep myself from inadvertently counting, I'll count random numbers. Afterwards, I play the video to count the reps, and sure enough, I almost always do more reps than the minimum for the last set.
Dave adds that he doesn't actually watch the video playbacks in real time, but uses his video player's speed controls to count the reps and track his progress.

I thought it would be a good idea to post here about the great news that my father Hector Cole has been awarded an MBE for Services to Heritage Crafts in the 2015 New Year's Honours!
He is really thrilled to get recognition for the 45 years of dedicated work specifically for his arrow-smithing and also within the broad spectrum of iron-working but, as many people will know, there is a lot more behind the award than is ever printed in the press. I would like to share some of this information with you.
My sister Rebecca first brought up the idea of nominating Dad for an award, she thought he would be a great candidate for an honour and started to look into it. There is a lot of work behind the scenes to make it happen and we were too late for that year so put it on the back burner.
In 2014 I saw a tweet from www.heritagecrafts.org.uk asking if anyone knew a suitable crafts person to nominate for an honour. I immediately tweeted back suggesting my Dad, Hector and it snowballed from there! The Heritage Crafts Association have championed Hector though the nomination process, they helped us fine tune the application and make it successful.
My other sister Charlotte started to compile a list of people we could approach to support the nomination which we had to give a snappy name! That was the hardest part as how do you condense all that Dad has achieved into a couple of words? We finally settled with 'Arrow Smith - Services to Heritage Cratfs' as this is the field of specialised forging that he has researched and developed over such a long time and is the area that most people now know him for.
Since the age of four when he was old enough to be allowed into the village smithy in his home village in Lincolnshire in the 1940's, Gordon "Hector" Cole has had a passion for ironwork.
Hector trained as a metalwork teacher at Dudley Teacher Training College and subsequently moved to Wiltshire where he taught at secondary schools in Bristol and Malmesbury. Hector's love for designing and working with metal was transmitted to his students who held him in high esteem.
Many past pupils have remained in contact with him long after leaving school and see him as a role model for their own careers as blacksmiths and engineers. Hector has informally mentored and encouraged budding metalworkers by allowing them to work alongside him in his personal workshop, giving them free access to tools and working space that they would never have found elsewhere. He continues to do this with work-placement students from school and Higher & Further Education Colleges.
Throughout his formal career Hector has enthusiastically shared his skills and knowledge in his over-riding passion for iron-work; traditional blacksmithing, blade-smithing, fencing and archery.
Hector is a dedicated educator, he has throughout his life thrived on the pleasure of sharing his knowledge and educating those interested in his craft. He welcomes students, of all ages into his workshop and encourages the development of their skills and creativity. Teenagers are frequently to be found in the workshop on work placements from the surrounding secondary schools, and Hector runs 'master classes' in his workshop for experienced blacksmiths who wish to hone or develop their skills.
During his teaching career at Malmesbury School, Hector also worked from his home forge developing his skills as an iron-worker. Since taking voluntary redundancy in 1991 he has become increasingly specialised in archaeological and historical iron-working and blade-smithing methods and is regarded as a world authority in this specialist area, developing a successful small business from his newly built forge in Wiltshire and exporting his work to enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
Hector has also produced beautiful traditional forge work for members of the Royal Household, notably the impressive main gates for Highgrove House (actually, these gates were designed by my Mum, Maris), home of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. He also made the intricately forged entrance gates and heraldic overthrow at Charlton Park in Wiltshire for Lord Suffolk and was responsible for the complex restoration of a 17th C Austrian Buttery Bracket for Waddesdon Manor.
He has a worldwide client-base, including museums, collectors and private enthusiasts. He has carried out extensive research into medieval metalworking techniques, and has worked on many prestigious projects including commissions for The Mary Rose museum project, The Royal Armouries, and The Museum of London. The research Hector has undertaken into the traditional methods of smelting iron ore, and forging blades and arrowheads has been documented in numerous television programmes, notably for the BBC and the History Channel.
Hector serves on the Craft Committee of The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths where he works to promote the craft and encourage excellence among other blacksmiths, assessing them at county shows and for awards.
Hector's expertise has proved an invaluable asset to the heritage of British ironwork, his use of authentic materials, is exemplary. He sources wrought iron of the relevant period where possible for his restoration work, thus ensuring continuity in the tradition and authenticity of the original piece.
Inevitably the passions for fencing, archery and historical metalwork combined in Hector's repertoire as an ironworker. His expertise in the ancient techniques of blade-smithing and medieval arms and armour, have gained him international recognition.
Hector Cole and his dedication to teaching Archery and Fencing.
Since 1968, Hector has run the weekly Malmesbury School archery (summer) and fencing (winter) clubs on a voluntary basis in his own personal time. The children who take part in these activities have been those who find it harder to participate in team sports, but fencing and archery has allowed them to develop a sporting skill, often despite emotional or educational difficulties. Hector accepts all-comers to his clubs and will do all he can to find a 'niche' for children who may need a little more support than others..
He has often become a true mentor to these children, allowing them to build their self-esteem and confidence. The members of the Malmesbury School Fencing Club have achieved success at county level due to the dedicated teaching and encouragement provided by Hector. He transports children to competitions, and has raised funds for the provision of approved equipment for the clubs.
Malmesbury School is one of very few comprehensive schools able to offer it's pupils fencing and archery activities and is very often the only state school represented in fencing competitions due to funding constraints. Due to the un-tiring dedication that Hector gives to his pupils and the club over the 45 years that he has run this after school clubs, hundreds of children have benefited from his knowledge and teaching skills.
He has worked voluntarily for the pure joy of transmitting his enthusiasm for these sports and their traditions and this sharing of skills keeps Hector there, rain or shine, every week to nurture and encourage these pupils.
My sisters and I would like to thank many people for their support of Hector, we could not have done this without your help!
And of course all the people that have been customers of Hector's over the years and supported his work.


There will be some Bordeaux wine enthusiasts who may not even have heard of the AOCs of Listrac and Moulis. For years these poorer relations of the superstars of the Médoc, like Pauillac and Margaux, could not compete. The prices the wines commanded didn't justify huge investment in the winemaking, so they produced good, yet rarely mind blowing wines. But that's all changing.
Not only are quality conscious owners taking charge, the price of vineyard and cellar equipment making a huge difference elsewhere has come down so much that it works out in the accounts to get some on board. Most notably the optical grape selectors.
These amazing machines were originally invented for the pea industry of all places. As the grapes or peas pass along the selection belt, each is subject to an infrared scanner with a set of size and colour criteria. If they fail the test a tiny pneumatic jet of air pumps out and fires the rejected fruit into the bin. It's like a space age version of Willy Wonka and his nut squirrels.
The result being is that the grapes that make the fermenting vats that go on to produce the final wine are all above spec to make a good wine. And no where has the uptick in cellar management at harvest been felt more keenly than the AOCs of Listrac and Moulis.
So next time you see a Fourcas Dupré or a Maucaillou up on sale, treat yourself to some of the best value left on the Bordeaux's famed left bank.
Pleased to say we discovered Listrac as students 50 years ago, a classy value wine so much cheaper than a Haut Brion or even a d'Angludet!


Your chimney is a focal point for home decor and necessary for home heating. Without the chimney, your fireplace would not have proper airflow to burn well, and would allow harmful smoke and toxic gases into your living space. In order to work properly, it must be properly constructed from top to bottom. Understanding the anatomy of your chimney will help you notice changes, suspect damage, and maintain it properly.
Like the house itself, the chimney must be properly supported from beneath. Without a proper foundation, the masonry can shift, leading to cracks, leaning, and eventually structural damage.
Look for: signs of settling or movement, especially inside the firebox.
The ash dump leads from the firebox through a type of trap door which makes it easy for homeowners to clean ashes from their fireplace by scooping it into the space below. The ash dump is a safe place for the ashes to cool and collect until it is too full to use.
Look for: ashes spilling out of the outlet or clogging the door.
The firebox is the space where the fire burns. It endures the most abuse–the highest temperatures and often the least attention. The hearth is the floor of the firebox which extends out toward the room. It is durable and usually decorative.
Look for: stains or cracks that indicate water damage.
Installed at the base of the chimney or a top mount damper installed at the top of the flue, the damper is essential for proper chimney function. It allows for adequate airflow to light and maintain a fire. A top mount damper and a throat damper can also prevent airflow during the off season.
Look for: drafts that affect your heating or cooling, a smoky fireplace, and animals in the flue.
The smoke chamber is the space above the fireplace where the heat and gases mix before continuing up the flue. The slanted wall directs the smoke upward, and the smoke shelf keeps the smoke and gas from falling back into the fireplace.
Look for: a smoky fireplace, rough walls, and dripping noises within the chimney that aren't visible.
The flue liner extends up the entire chimney and is made of clay tile, stainless steel, slip casting, and even HeatShield cerfractory sealant. It helps to properly size the flue for optimum airflow, protects the home from heat and gases inside the chimney, and protects the masonry from corrosive chemical byproducts inside the chimney.
Look for: pieces of clay tile inside the fireplace, chimney hot to the touch.
In order to maintain the integrity of the chimney, it needs protection against water penetration year-round. The crown is a mortar ceiling placed on top of the chimney, extending outward from the flue. The cap protects the flue opening, and the flashing protects the vulnerable intersection of the chimney and roof.
Look for: signs of water damage.
Every part of the chimney is essential and should be intacted for the chimney to work properly. Schedule an annual inspection to make certain the chimney is in good shape.

As a homeowner, it is important to know your fireplace and chimney system. How you use and maintain it will determine its safety and efficiency. Using the system improperly can make it difficult to light and maintain a fire. Your fire's heat, beauty, and safety starts with the damper.
If you have a traditional open-hearth fireplace, your damper may be adjustable. Other systems, including many styles of pre-fab fireplace appliances only have two settings: open or closed. If you have a closed unit such as an insert or stove, you can safely close your damper without exposing your home to smoke and carbon monoxide. However, closing the damper will cause your coals to smolder, increasing the amount of creosote produced. Some homeowners allow coals to smolder in a stove overnight, but this practice means you will need more frequent chimney maintenance.
Your fire needs oxygen to burn, no matter what type of fireplace or appliance you have. While you are lighting your fire, the damper should be fully opened to allow air to flow freely. If your appliance has a vent, this should be opened so that it pulls air out of the room, into the fire, and out the chimney. Without adequate airflow, your kindling and wood shavings may burn, but will not light your wood. This will waste time and kindling as you repeat this process until your fire is lit.
Once your fire begins to catch, the heat will begin to rise up the chimney along with the smoke. To avoid losing too much heat through the chimney, but continue to allow adequate ventilation, close the damper halfway. If your damper only has two settings (open or closed), you need to leave your damper open to avoid smoke and carbon monoxide exposure.
Open fireplaces lose heat, sometimes costing homeowners 3 times the amount of wood and utilities. You can improve efficiency of your system by installing an insert directly into your existing firebox. You can save money during the summer by choosing an energy-saving damper for your open fireplace. Avoid issues with your fireplace, chimney, and avoid wasting time, money, and resources by burning the proper wood and using the system correctly. Using the damper properly can save you more than money. Protecting your family from carbon monoxide exposure can save lives.
Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep installs, repairs, and replaces dampers. If you aren't satisfied with your throat damper, we can install an energy top damper that will save you money year-round. We can be your choice for comprehensive chimney maintenance for all four seasons, and we're just a phone call away. Call Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep at 617-469-4528 or make an appointment using our online scheduling tool today.
As summer winds down, the evenings become cooler and cooler until the A/C is off for good. The fall, leading into the holidays, may be the most popular for fireplaces. So start now, and you'll be ready.
Follow the advisement of industry professionals and have your chimney routinely swept. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) also recommend annual inspections for the safest and most efficient chimney system. These appointments may be the only time throughout the year that a certified chimney sweep has access to your chimney, and can identify weaknesses, concerns, and hazards. Not sure you need an inspection? Familiarize yourself with the CSIA inspection and when to schedule yours.
You have a few more weeks to get repairs and upgrades completed before burn season starts. Scheduling necessary repairs and services now means you can avoid the fall rush. If you wait until fall, you may not get an appointment when you need one. Don't get left in the cold. Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep offers all of our chimney services year-round because we know summer is a great time for chimney work!
Your chimney is subject to weather year-round, but is especially vulnerable during the winter, when snow sits on the chimney and flashing and melts slowly. During these months, water is also subject to a freeze/thaw cycle that can damage your masonry from the inside out. Once water penetrates the masonry, it freezes, expands, melts, and repeats this process, breaking through the masonry each time. This freeze/thaw cycle causes spalling and serious water damage to the chimney interior. If left unchecked, rain will have direct access to the chimney system this spring. The best way to prevent water penetration this winter is to make sure your chimney has an effective cap, crown, and flashing – all checked during your inspection.
Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep also applies a vapor-permeable sealant for added water protection. In fact, we apply this sealant for FREE on all of our masonry repairs because we know it works, and our first priority is your safety. This waterproofing sealant protects your masonry all winter long, decreasing winter damage and preventing chimney leaks. By protecting your chimney this winter, you will have a more efficient fire and safe chimney.
Is your fireplace and chimney ready for winter? Then the only thing left to do is to prepare your fuel. Do you have a wood fireplace, insert, or stove? Then you should have already started gathering properly seasoned wood. If you are unsure about fuel, appliances, tools, or fire safety, you can contact a Billy Sweet professional now. Call 617-469-4528 or use our convenient online form.
Your chimney system should be in good shape to be both safe and efficient through the winter. However, if your chimney is damaged during the off-season, it can result in higher electricity bills, cause warm drafts, and even leaks and other damage in your house! The best way to protect your home and chimney from damage year-round? Schedule annual inspections. It's at these vital appointments that a chimney expert assesses your chimney system, taking note of weaknesses and damage – often diagnosing problems before damage occurs.
If you schedule your inspection now, you will have time to make necessary repairs, preventative measures, and cosmetic changes before the fall rush. The "fall rush" refers to the months between October and January when chimney companies are busy, so it can be difficult to get an appointment. During this time chimney sweeps are busy with emergency calls and repairs. Due to the tight schedule during the fall rush, waiting to schedule your inspection can mean you don't get the appointment time, technician, or even chimney sweep company you'd like. Don't settle for second-best. Choose the best company and schedule today!
By scheduling your chimney inspection now, you still have over two months to complete necessary repairs before cold weather returns. It's a nuisance to make repairs during burn season. This is because you can't light a fire safely until repairs are made. Efficiency will be down, and fire and health risk will be up.
Get your inspection, chimney sweep, and repairs completed during the off season! Then you can rest assure knowing your fireplace and chimney is ready for fall. In addition, you don't have to worry about an unexpected issue. This is because our technician will diagnose and assess any potential hazards in the system and deal with them, before burn season. Making necessary repairs before the fall means you don't have to dip into holiday shopping funds for chimney repairs. When you schedule your inspection during the summer, you also have more time to come up with the money for any necessary repairs.
The sooner you have your chimney system cleaned and inspected, the sooner you can close it out for summer. If you haven't done this already, you need to! First schedule a chimney sweep and inspection with your trusted and certified chimney expert. Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep offers both services, paying attention to the likely problem areas. When our technician is finished with your chimney, it won't be accessible to critters, won't stink, and will be ready for fall in a few short months.

We are always looking to help our customers stay safe in Eastern Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Portland, Maine. Find out how we can help you by calling now. Speak to an expert by dialing 617-469-4528 or schedule an appointment using our online scheduling tool.
Your chimney is designed to last, but there are some factors that can cause serious damage, deterioration, and even require a rebuild. Water penetration is one occurrence that can shorten the life of your chimney and cost you a fortune in repairs. It's easier to avoid the leak in the first place rather than repairing the damages that are inevitable if measures aren't taken to prevent it.
The best thing you can do for your chimney system is to schedule routine maintenance. When you schedule a regular chimney sweep and annual inspection, a system weakness is more likely to be caught before it becomes a leak. You may not notice that your chimney cap is crooked or that your flashing is loose, but a chimney expert will. Necessary repairs can be made before a leak occurs, causing a drop in efficiency, increased fire risk, and even health concerns. In addition to scheduling these important appointments, you can assess your chimney yourself at intervals that are convenient for you.
If you can hear dripping in your fireplace or distantly in the chimney system, then you have a problem. Call a professional.
You can see signs of water on masonry. On the exterior you might see white stains on the brick. This means water has penetrated, leaving minerals on the outside surface. In the interior it can look like mold in the firebox – and it probably is. If you see or smell mold or mildew in your system, this is a health risk and means a serious leak has occurred. Call a professional!
Check that the chimney is capped.
Don't overlook the cap because it's on the roof. You can see it from the yard, and will notice if it's crooked or missing. You can even use binoculars to make certain it's in good shape. Even between service appointments, Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep will come out and replace a missing cap.
Billy Sweet Chimney Sweeps repairs leaks, installs and replaces faulty caps, crowns, flashing , and damaged components. We put customer safety and comfort first, and we know that water leaks put families at risk. For good measure, we offer waterproofing services that gives your chimney the added protection it needs for another year of seasonal weather.
If you suspect a chimney leak, call Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep today at 800-248-4900 or request an appointment online using our online scheduling tool!

Government to review social media tax progress
Monday, July 02, 2018 — updated on January 12, 2021
Mr Godfrey Mutabazi, the UCC executive director. FILE PHOTO
The introduction of the tax has raised a storm across the country, with many Ugandans bashing the government for what they said was a deliberate move to deny many citizens access to information.
When asked what progress had been made, Mr Val Oketcho, the MTN spokesperson, said he was not privy to any discussions between the UCC and the telecom operators.
Kampala. Government has agreed to review the progress of social media tax after two weeks of implementation.
The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and all telecom operators met today and agreed to review the progress and devise a way forward.
A tweet from the official UCC twitter handle read; "After 2 weeks, the Commission together with @URAuganda, telecoms and Ministry of Finance will meet to evaluate the progress of Social Media Tax."
When asked, Mr Godfrey Mutabazi, the UCC executive director, confirmed the development.
"Yes, we reached an agreement with URA, telecom operators and the Finance ministry that we review the process after two weeks. We are also exploring other options to make sure the payment is cheap for the users. However, the bottom line is that the social media tax will stay," Mr Mutabazi said.
He said contrary to the speculation that everyone has been blocked, it is only those who have not paid the taxes.
Mr Mutabazi said those who have installed the VPN services are incurring more costs to install the services instead of paying the nominal tax.
He also said the regulation is done within context of government policy and industry developments.
"As a regulator, we seek to facilitate national development while protecting consumers and encouraging fair competition," the UCC boss said.

What Uganda stands to gain from DR Congo-EAC union
A section of the public has installed virtual private network (VPN) services to bypass the taxes.
Mr Mutabazi had said the commission has facilities in place to block the VPN services.
However, by press time yesterday, many users were still using VPN.
It is understood that the commission has now asked the telecom operators to block access to VPN, an order that may not be easy to enforce since the service softwares are on Google store and windows App.
He promised to get back to us, but had not by press time.

Scoble's partner Shel Israel announced the move in a Facebook post. "His decision is related to recent revelations that Robert engaged in inappropriate behavior."
US blogger Robert Scoble presents the Google Glass on April 24, 2013, at the NEXT Berlin conference in Berlin.
On Sunday afternoon, Shel Israel — Robert Scoble's partner in the consulting company Transformation Group — announced in a Facebook post that Scoble had resigned, effective immediately, and would be canceling his public activities for the rest of the year. The resignation comes in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against the tech evangelist.
Transformation Group was founded in March by Scoble and Israel to help brands develop "mixed reality" (that is, AR and VR) strategies. The pair had previously collaborated on three books, most recently 2016's The Fourth Transformation: How Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence Change Everything.
In his post, Israel wrote that Scoble is taking the rest of the year off to focus "on dealing with his deep and troubling personal issues. He is now going to meetings and he will start seeing a psychiatrist as well." Scoble had previously been a fixture on the tech conference and speaking circuit, appearing in the last year at Collision, SXSW, and Evolve, among others.
Israel noted that "the revelations about Robert came to me as a surprise." Though he conceded that he had seen Scoble "drunk and stoned," Israel said he had "never personally witnessed" his partner behaving inappropriately toward women. "If I did, I would have called him on it," Israel wrote. He noted that he plans to keep running the Transformation Group alone.
Scoble did not respond to a request for comment on Israel's post.
On Friday, TechCrunch reported that Scoble has allegedly harassed women after getting sober over the summer. The same day, Scoble posted an apology to his Facebook page, writing, "I'm deeply sorry to the people I've caused pain to. ... The only thing I can do to really make a difference now is to prove, through my future behavior, and my willingness to listen, learn and change, that I want to become part of the solution going forward."


Lenny Kravitz has announced details of a new show for 2019 at The O2 Arena in London.
The 54-year-old artist will play at the 20,000-capacity arena on June 11, 2019 with tickets going on sale for the gig on Friday (November 30). You can buy tickets for the event here when they go on sale.
Kravitz will be touring in support of his well-received 2018 album 'Raise Vibration', and he'll be supported on the tour by Corinne Bailey Rae and Brass Against.
Kravitz recently revealed that he was often turned away by record companies during the early part of his career because his music "wasn't black enough".
He told Variety: "I just knew that I was singing and performing my truth. This was a time right after everybody in the music industry was telling me that I couldn't do this sort of thing. I would take my music around to the labels, and I would get the whole 'It's not black enough' [response].

Ten: Heresy and Creed
After the long gap before the release of last year's Stormwarning, Ten have been exceptionally sprightly in knocking out Heresy and Creed in spritely fashion. The band now have a settled line up of main man Gary Hughes - vocals, guitars and programming alongside Dan Mitchell � guitars with John Halliwell � guitars, Steve McKenna - bass guitar and the brilliantly named Darrel Treece-Birch � keyboards. Max Yates provides mighty drums and percussion. Having seen them play live I can testify that this is a very solid line up and I can further confirm that Heresy and Creed is a very solid if not classic Ten album.
Take away the opening instrumental and you have a strong if slightly overlong album with some real highlights such as the double-whammy of "Arabian Knights" followed by the magnificent "Gunrunning", both of which get the full range of Dan Mitchell's flashy technique all over them � not that he's flashy just for the sake of it, oh no, he's very fluid and plays within the confines of the songs yet fully expresses himself. Such is mastery of what he does I don't think I'll even mention Vinny Burns in this review...oops.
I could possibly not bother with "The Priestess" but other than that this is typically Gary Hughes near the top of his game in terms of songwriting. In the hands of more mainstream artists more than one of these tracks especially "Lady Ante"..., sorry "Another Rainy Day" would be potential hits. For the second Ten record in a row Dennis Ward sprinkles his magic fairy dust over the production and rather like the current Bond film (Skyfall) it's good to see a British institution in such rude health after a long time in the game.

Is there a good way to improve performance?
Just installed and am trying to run Fire Emblem.
The slowness isn't that big of a deal, but the graphics flash like crazy. I'm not sure if there are a certain set of settings I can look at in order to help improve the performance as well as stop the sound from glitching like crazy.
What are your computer device specs and settings?

Let us know what kind of device you are using here.
Main thing is to use the latest version and the appropriate backend for your device.
Vulkan or OpenGL are likely your best bet , Use the overclock settings to underclocking the emulated GameCube/Wii CPU.

Thanks it's the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 tablet from the other thread.
I don't think I messed with any of the settings because I wasn't familiar with them, just thought I'd shoot out a question to see if there was a good starting point.
The speed isn't necessarily the issue, I can handle a bit of slowness, but the sound being so choppy is crazy.
I'll check out some youtube videos later if I find some. I did download the latest android version (it's the developer build type thing right?).

Right now it's unplayable on this thing, hopefully it's something I'm doing.

Yeah that's to be expected really with that low power tablet.
These games are just playable on a Snapdragon 821 device.
The main problem is the extremely poor drivers for that GPU. This will not change as those drivers are up to date they are just poorly implemented.

The inspection took place on 11, 12 and 13 February 2015, and was announced. We gave the service 48 hours' notice to ensure the availability of the registered manager and records on our visit.
This inspection was carried out by one adult social care inspector and one pharmacy inspector. We were supported by two experts by experience, who carried out phone calls to people using the service and their relatives. An expert-by-experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service.
Before the inspection we reviewed the information we held about the service, including the notifications of significant events and any safeguarding issues. We contacted local authority commissioners of care services and safeguarding adults unit for their views on the service. We asked for and received information from the service in the form of a provider information return (PIR). A PIR is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make.
In the course of the inspection we spoke with the registered manager, two care co-ordinators, administrative staff and five care workers. We contacted 22 people using the service and five relatives by phone, with their permission, to ask their views. We attempted to arrange a number of visits to people in their own homes. One person, only, agreed to this and we visited them at their home.
After the inspection we asked the views of five people's social workers to obtain their views about the service.
We examined the care records of 15 people who used the service, six staff recruitment and personnel files, staff training records and quality audits.

What is rabies?
Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system of mammals. It invariably causes swelling of the brain and death after a relatively short illness.
How is rabies transmitted?
The rabies virus is found in the nervous tissue of infected mammals. As the virus works its way to the brain, it begins to be secreted in the saliva of the animal. People and mammals get rabies when infectious saliva is introduced into the body, usually through a bite from an infected animal. Rabies transmissions from other types of exposures are extremely rare. These types of exposures include saliva or nervous tissue entering an open wound or saliva or nervous tissue coming into contact with a mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth.
What are the symptoms of rabies in people?
After an average of 30 to 50 days (as short as 14 days or longer than a year) from exposure to a rabid animal, a person develops an illness that may include fever, sore throat, stiff muscles, headache, tiredness, restlessness, nausea, and itching or tingling at the site of the bite. As the disease progresses, a person may become agitated, with periods of calm. Fear of water caused by severe throat spasms when trying to drink may occur. Paralysis then starts in the legs and moves towards the head. Most people die from cardiac arrest or respiratory failure within a short period after onset of illness.
What are symptoms of rabies in animals?
The animal may have a change in personality or behavior. For example, wild animals may lose their fear of humans or pets may become aggressive or withdraw. Often the animal does not eat, may fear water, and have an unsteady gait. Paralysis may start in the rear quarters and progress to the front of the body.
What should I do if I am bitten by an animal or exposed to the saliva of a possibly rabid animal?
NDDoH Rabies Exposure Assessment Algorithm (PDF)
First, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and running water. Gather as much information about the animal as possible. Contact your physician as soon as possible and notify your local public health unit or the state health department as well as local law enforcement.
How long is the rabies virus infectious after it is outside of the rabid animal?
The rabies virus is a very fragile virus. As soon as the saliva dries, the virus is no longer infectious. The virus is easily killed by soaps, detergents, bleach, alcohol and ultraviolet light.
What will happen to the animal after a person has been bitten or otherwise exposed?
If the animal is a healthy domestic dog, cat, or ferret it should be confined and held for observation for 10 days. A licensed veterinarian should examine the animal at the beginning and end of the 10-day observation period. If the animal develops symptoms suggestive of rabies, it should be humanely destroyed and the brain sent for testing. If the animal is healthy at the end of the 10-day period, then no rabies exposure occurred and the person bitten will not need rabies vaccination.
If the animal is not a domestic dog, cat or ferret, it should be captured, humanely destroyed and the brain sent for rabies testing. If the animal is a domesticated farm animal (cow, horse, etc.), consult with your physician and veterinarian.
For additional information, please visit http://www.cdc.gov/rabies/specific_groups/veterinarians/person_bitten.html.
What is meant by confinement?
Confinement in North Dakota, as it pertains to rabies, means separation of an animal from humans (other than the owner, caretaker, a member of the owner's family or the caretaker's employees) and from other animals, by means of a building, cage, fence, pen or other secure enclosure that restricts the animal's movement within definite boundaries and prevents the animal from exiting the enclosure.
Why can a healthy domestic dog, cat, or ferret be held for ten days?
Studies have shown that dogs, cats, and ferrets only shed the rabies virus in their saliva for a short period of time (usually 4 to 5 days) before they develop symptoms. If the animal has not developed symptoms by the tenth day after the exposure then the animal would not have been shedding the virus at the time of the exposure.
Why can't the ten-day observation period be used for other animals?
Only domestic dogs, cats, and ferrets have been studied enough to determine with certainty the period of viral shedding. Although this period of viral shedding may be similar for other species of animals, without more studies, there is too much uncertainty and too great of risk for error.
What if the animal is not available for observation or testing?
If you have been bitten or otherwise exposed to the saliva of an animal that is not available for observation or testing, contact your physician, local public health unit or state public health department and local law enforcement. If it was a domestic dog, cat, or ferret, try to locate the animal or the owner of the animal. If the animal cannot be located, speak with your physician, as you may need to start preventive treatment for rabies which will include the rabies vaccine.
Does an animal have to be destroyed to be tested for rabies?
Yes, the only proven test is to examine the brain for the rabies virus. Blood tests have proven not to be reliable. Because rabies is so serious, the test needs to be as accurate and reliable as possible.
What if the owner of an animal who has bitten someone refuses to have it evaluated for rabies?
In situations where the owner refuses to have an animal evaluated for rabies, you should contact local law enforcement officials.
How can I protect myself from rabies?
Vaccinate your domestic dog, cat, or ferret (and be sure to keep the animal's vaccinations up-to-date). For more information on each state's vaccination laws, please see the American Veterinary Medical Association website.
Avoid contact with wild or stray animals, and domestic/wild hybrid animals.
Do not touch dead animals.
Keep wild animals out of homes, workplaces and other dwellings.
Report stray, sick, and injured animals to local animal control authorities or law enforcement officials.
What is a domestic/wild hybrid?
A domestic/wild hybrid is the offspring of a domestic animal crossed with a wild animal. The most common example is a domestic dog/wolf hybrid. Although wolves may be raised in captivity, they are still considered wild animals.
Are there any vaccines for wild or hybrid animals?
At this time no vaccines have been approved for wild or hybrid animals. Although some zoos vaccinate their animals for rabies, this is only done to try to protect the animals from rabies. A wild or hybrid animal that bites a person should be humanely destroyed and the brain submitted for rabies testing. If the animal is a valuable specimen (at a zoo, for example) then rabies shots can be given to the exposed person instead of destroying the animal.
What happens if my dog, cat, or ferret is bitten or fights with a wild animal or another animal that may have rabies?
If the animal that bit your pet can be captured, have the animal's brain tested for rabies. If the test is negative for rabies and your pet has not been vaccinated, you should vaccinate your pet immediately.
If the biting animal tested positive for rabies and the pet is current on its rabies vaccination, the pet should be given a booster vaccine immediately. The pet should be kept under the owner's control and observed for 45 days.
If the biting animal tested positive for rabies and your pet has never been vaccinated, the recommendation is to put the pet down. If you are unwilling to euthanize the pet, it must be vaccinated as soon as possible and quarantined for 4 (dogs and cats) or 6 (ferrets) months.
If the biting animal tested positive for rabies and the pet is NOT current on its rabies vaccination (i.e., it was vaccinated against rabies in the past, but is now overdue for a booster vaccination), it should immediately receive a booster vaccine and be kept under the owner's control and observed for 45 days.
If the animal cannot be captured, assume it is rabid and proceed as described above.
Our dog killed a skunk and when I handled the dog after the attack it was all wet. Could I have been exposed to rabies by handling the dog?
Although there may have been skunk saliva on the dog, the risk of an actual exposure is very low. The saliva has to enter an open wound or get onto mucous membranes. If this did not happen, there was no rabies exposure. If you think you were exposed, call your health care provider. You will want to test the skunk to see if it was rabid in this situation. The test results will be needed by you and your veterinarian to determine what to do with your dog, and it can be used by you and your health care provider to make a determination about your possible exposure.
What if I have livestock exposed to rabies?
All species of livestock are susceptible to rabies. As with domestic pets, livestock that have been vaccinated for rabies (with a vaccine approved by USDA for that species) should be revaccinated immediately and observed for 45 days. If the animal has not been vaccinated, it should be euthanized. The animal can be used for human consumption if it is slaughtered within 7 days of exposure, provided liberal amounts of the tissue around the exposed area (bite) are discarded. Consult with your veterinarian.
What if I am bitten by a mouse or gopher?
Small rodents, including mice, rats, gophers, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits and hares, rarely have rabies and are not known to have transmitted rabies to humans. You should always consult with your physician regarding bites from these animals. Depending on circumstances, the animal may need to be humanely destroyed and the brain tested for rabies. Bites or saliva exposure from other larger rodents such as muskrats or groundhogs may result in a rabies exposure.
What animal serves as the reservoir for rabies in North Dakota?
The skunk serves as the primary reservoir for rabies in North Dakota. Any bite from a skunk should be considered an exposure to rabies until a laboratory test indicates otherwise.
Do bats in North Dakota get rabies?
Any mammal, including bats can get rabies. Bites from bats may not be easily noticed. Bats have small teeth and bites may cause very little discomfort. You should contact your physician or a public health department if you come into contact with a bat or find a bat in your home.
Can a person get rabies shots before they are exposed?
Pre-exposure rabies vaccines are recommended only for people at increased risk of coming into contact with rabies. Such people include rabies laboratory workers, veterinarians, animal control officers, and cave explorers. Some people may get pre-exposure shots when they travel to developing countries. Consult your health care provider or public health department for more information.
I work in a high risk occupation where I have a greater risk of being exposed to rabies. What is recommended for me?
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that you receive pre-exposure vaccination. This consists of three doses of vaccine administered on days 0, 7 and 21 or 28. You should be tested for protective antibody every 2 years and booster vaccination is recommended for unacceptable antibody levels. If you are working in a rabies research laboratory or are a rabies biologic production worker then you should have your antibody level checked every 6 months.
If I need rabies shots, what should I expect?
If you never had rabies shots before, then you can expect to receive four doses of vaccine over a 14 day period and a dose of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) on the same day as the first dose of vaccine. Rabies immunoglobulin provides immediate protection against rabies until your body has responded to the vaccine and makes its own antibodies to rabies.
If you have been vaccinated previously with one of the currently licensed vaccines, you will still need two booster doses of rabies vaccine. The first dose should be given as soon as possible and the second dose three days later. Rabies immunoglobulin should NOT be given.
What are the side effects of the vaccine?
As with most vaccines the most common side effect is soreness and redness at the site of the injection. More severe reactions are rare and often related to allergies to the ingredients in the vaccine. Contact your health care provider if you are having any health effects which you think might be related to the vaccine.
Are the rabies shots given in the stomach?
No, the rabies vaccine has not been given in the stomach since the 1980s. For adults, it should only be given in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (administration to the gluteal area is NOT recommended, as studies have shown this can result in a less effective immune response). For children, the anterolateral aspect of the thigh is also an acceptable site (depending on the child's age and body mass). Rabies immunoglobulin is recommended to be given at the site of the bite, if possible.
When is it too late to start rabies vaccinations after an exposure?
Ideally, the vaccination series should begin as soon as possible after an exposure has occurred and a health care provider has determined rabies vaccination is warranted. Usually you can wait for test results from a healthy domestic animal to see if rabies shots are needed. Bites and exposures from wild animals should be treated as if the animal were rabid until rabies has been ruled out. There have been instances when a person did not start rabies shots for months after an exposure because the exposure was never suspected.
Once a person develops rabies symptoms it is too late to vaccinate against rabies!
How much does rabies vaccine cost?
Rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin is very expensive. A typical vaccination series with the rabies immunoglobulin can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000+ per person.
As a local law enforcement official, what can I do protect the public from rabies?
If your jurisdiction has rabies vaccination ordinances and leash laws, enforcing these ordinances will help reduce the risk of rabies in your communities. Enforcing the proper confinement of animals that have bitten a person helps ensure that the animal will not escape during the observation period, so a veterinarian can declare the animal in question healthy. It also minimizes the risk for other people or animals to be exposed to the confined animal and helps prevent people from getting unneeded rabies shots.
Where can I send an animal brain for rabies testing?
The brain can be sent to the North Dakota Department of Health Division of Microbiology or to the North Dakota State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for testing. Please contact one of the labs for more information.
NDDoH Division of Microbiology: 701.328.6272
NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory: 701.231.7527 or 701.231.8307
How should I collect and ship the specimen?
Humanely destroy the animal, avoiding damage to the skull and brain. This should be done by a professional such as a veterinarian. Only a veterinarian or other trained professional should remove the head and extract the brain leaving the brain stem intact. Contact the NDDoH Division of Microbiology(701.328.6272) or the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (701.231.7527 or 701.231.8307) for further instructions.
The animal that I was exposed to has been dead for a while, can it still be tested?
Consult with your veterinarian to determine if the animal can still be tested. If it has been cold, the animal may still be testable. However, brain tissue decomposes rapidly, especially in warm temperatures, and it may be too decomposed to test.
If you have any other questions about rabies submit them here or call 800.472.2180.

Rugby Association to distribute over a 1000 balls to schools
Accra , Jun 26, GNA -The Ghana Rugby Association (GRA) will over the next 12 months distribute over a thousand balls to selected schools across the ten Regions of the country.
The program, designed to target school children, which is an initiative of the GRA has received a big boast from the SG-SSB Bank that has injected 5,000 GH cedis into the project which is the first outreach to be embarked on by the Association.
Gifty Annan-Myers, President of the Association launching the 'catch them young' program, which begins the initiative, said her outfit was determined to develop the sport across the entire country and tagged the project as a major start to achieving that dream.
Schools such as the Kanda Cluster of Schools in Accra are expected to benefit from the scheme, which will draw participation from interested schools to receive rugby balls plus expertise from trained technical men and women to be provided by the GRA.
In the next 12 months, the GRA is hoping to begin the drive from other schools through communities which can kick-start area leagues that will metamorphose into regional leagues and eventually feed to the national dream agenda.
Gilbert Hie, Managing Director of SG-SSB said by supporting rugby, his outfit is helping the game reach its full potential locally in line with the Bank's core values for professionalism, team spirit and innovation.
He said the Bank, which has supported rugby in Ghana since 2005 in programs like the league and the provision of training for trainers will continue to partner the GRA to develop the sport.
Several technical men to be provided by the Association are expected to team up with teachers to drive the Association's initiative to promote rugby at the grassroots through the schools in the ten regions within the country and to make it become a reality.


In case you missed it, here's the article on how to turn old drawers into cool shelving!
This is a great way to get creative with shelving for your home. Why not show your personality by displaying your homewares in your very own customised shelves from reclaimed drawers?
Clean dirt or grime from your drawers with sugar soap and leave to fully dry.
With a medium-grade sandpaper, sand the shelves with the grain of the wood.
Add a strip of timber to the back of your shelves where you would place the hooks to hang it on the wall (not all drawers may need these). Measure the top of the drawer inside the sides and cut a long length of timber to fit those measurements. After you cut the section of timber, you can screw it in from the inside to attach it securely.
Paint your shelves with two to three coats, leaving to fully dry in between each coat, in a colour of your choice (some of the colours I used were Colortrend satinwood in colours i-prestige, 1152 berry patch, i-white tea, 0673 enchanted evening , 0682 pleasant stream).
For a pop of colour, you can use a different colour on the inside of the drawer.
Add your wall hanging plates to the back of your drawer (on the strip of timber) and screw securely in place.
Add paper of your choice in the back of the drawers with PVA glue. Paint the PVA on the back of the paper, leaving for a few seconds to soak into your paper. Start adding your paper by laying it down on one side and slowly rubbing out any air bubbles that may appear until you reach the other side of the shelf. Use a craft blade to cut away any extra paper.
Map out possible ways of how you can assemble the drawers in a cluster. Tip: You can lay them out on the floor first for possible ideas, or cut the size of the shelf in paper and stick onto the wall to play around with layouts.
Now all you have to do is hang them and display your homewares to create something truly unique and beautiful.

Squid Girl (イカ娘, Ika Musume)
Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese); Christine Marie Cabanos (English)[1][2][3]
Squid Girl appears as a young humanoid girl with blue cephalopod tentacles for hair. Her goal is to take over humanity as punishment for the pollution done to the sea. However, after causing damage to Lemon (which she planned to use as a base), she was forced to work as a waitress to pay for the damages. She possesses numerous squid abilities including extending her tentacles, regenerating severed ones, spewing squid ink from her mouth, glowing in the dark like the firefly squid, swimming and breathing underwater. She also has bracelets that enable her to have weight-shifting abilities.S2 Ep. 2c It is later revealed that what appears as her white squid-shaped skullcap is actually part of her head, so fatal consequences might occur if someone was to attempt removing her "cap". The two fins on her "cap" can move like actual squid fins, although she was initially ignorant of the fact. Her favorite food is shrimp, and she greatly fears natural predators of squids like sharks and killer whales to the point that even swimming floats of such creatures terrify her. Although generally immature at first and often getting herself into mischief from the start, she is a fast learner, able to master complex things such as math and other languages in a short period of time.

Brexit Bill Clears Britain Parliament, Set To Become Law
HomeWorldBrexit Bill Clears Britain Parliament, Set To Become Law
The only hurdle left to formal ratification now is royal assent by Queen Elizabeth II, which could come as soon as Thursday, paving the way for Britain to leave the EU on January 31.
WorldAgence France-PresseUpdated: January 23, 2020 12:37 am IST
The European Parliament still has to back the Brexit deal in a vote next week.
After years of acrimonious debate, British lawmakers on Wednesday finally approved the terms of their country's historic departure from the European Union -- due in just nine days time.
MPs in the lower House of Commons had already backed the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill, which ratifies the divorce deal that Prime Minister Boris Johnson struck with Brussels last year.
But the unelected upper House of Lords made some changes this week, including on the rights of EU citizens and child refugees after Brexit.
In a series of votes on Wednesday, the Commons -- where Johnson's Conservatives have a large majority -- rejected all five amendments and sent the bill back to the Lords, who then reluctantly agreed to back down.
The European Parliament still has to back the deal in a vote next week but its approval in London is a historic moment, as Britain edges closer to becoming the first country to leave the 28-member EU.
"Get Brexit done"
It is a huge personal achievement for Johnson, who took office last year promising to end several years of political wrangling that had divided the country and paralysed successive governments.
His predecessor, Theresa May, negotiated a Brexit deal with Brussels in 2018 but the Commons rejected it three times, forcing her to resign.
Johnson agreed changes to the text with Brussels, only to be defeated again by MPs unable to agree on the timetable for turning the deal into law.
Johnson accused lawmakers of trying to frustrate the result of the landmark 2016 referendum vote for Brexit and forced a snap election last month.
The result, with Johnson returned to office on a thumping majority, fundamentally upended the dynamic and MPs swiftly backed the deal.
The Lords put up a minor fight.
One amendment sought to alter the government's scheme to register around 3.6 million EU citizens living in Britain, to give them physical documents proving their right to stay.
Another change would have required the government to negotiate the right of unaccompanied child refugees in the EU to join relatives in Britain.
Downing Street said it was time to finish the long-running process, which has divided the nation.
"The British people have waited for more than three years to get Brexit done. Passing the WAB allows us to do this in an orderly way on January 31," Johnson's spokesman said.
"Tight timetable"
The Brexit deal protects the rights of EU citizens, makes special trading arrangements for the British province of Northern Ireland, and settles the UK's EU debts.
It also paves the way for transition phase until December 31, in which UK-EU ties will remain largely the same while both sides try to agree a new trading and security partnership.
But the shape of that future relationship remains unresolved -- and negotiating it could pose an even bigger challenge than agreeing the divorce.
In a speech early next month, Johnson is expected to set out more detail of his hopes for a free trade agreement with Brussels along the lines of the EU's recent deal with Canada.
"I'm absolutely confident that we can do that," Johnson said on Wednesday while taking questions online from members of the public.
He wants to both preserve free-flowing commerce between Britain and its largest trading partner across the Channel, and strike agreements with other countries -- namely the United States.
Brussels has warned that it is impossible to address all issues in that time, suggesting a more limited deal is now likely.
But while UK finance minister Sajid Javid admitted on Wednesday that it was a "tight timetable", he said that it could be done.
Johnson's office denied a row with Washington over London's proposed tax on tech giants would affect trade negotiations after Brexit, saying: "It's not part of the discussions."

Conservation is defined as the action of conserving something, in particular. This includes the preservation, protection, or restoration of the natural environment, natural ecosystems, vegetation, and wildlife.
All four sub-species of Gorillas (Mountain Gorillas, Grauer Gorillas, Western Lowland Gorillas, and Cross River Gorillas) are in need of help. With threats including dwindling habitats, poaching, disease transmission, and even political instability, Gorillas are one of many species around the world that have become focal points for conservation work. Both AZA-accredited zoos and field conservation organizations have devoted time, staff, and dollars to ensure that all gorillas around the world will survive, thrive, and be around for generations to come.
Gorillas inspired me as a kid, which has turned into a lifelong devotion to learning about gorillas, working with gorillas, and championing their conservation. My goal with this blog is to highlight many different organizations, individuals, and champions in the world of gorillas. Zoo Keepers, curators, researchers, etc. will all have the chance to share their stories to learn more about the amazing work going on around the world. I will be able to give tips connected to what you can do in your daily life that can impact not only saving gorillas but many other animals around the world.
Working in the world conservation is a job that can apply to anyone at any age. If you have an affinity for creatures great and small, this is the job for you.
