Khalil Ibrahim Al Obeidi
300 billion dollars, through specialized committees to negotiate in this regard, and God and God and God, this is the best news heard by Iraqis, and those who said it deserves all the praise and praise, and has all the support and be authorized in the name of the people to follow the subject, especially as every economist and even the novice knows We would like to remind the esteemed MP that there is almost an amount equal to the amount due to Iraqi officials who were in the former regime and others in the current system.
These amounts inform the citizen Simple it A of the public treasury funds have been acquired in various ways, including import contracts in all ministries of the State, including fake contracts for more than six thousand projects amounted to $ 350 billion, and that there are machinery and equipment belonging to Iraq, the payment has not been shipped to this moment, and many other money if Was returned to the country to reach 1 trillion
The problem in Iraq is in the official, responsible after the fall is free and unethical and is not deterred by custom and is not afraid of the law, and that the confusion of state power made him a scourge eat and do not give, and that the inability of the official paid by Marhola towards loans until Iraq's external and internal debt 140 Billion dollars, that is, Iraq actually lost $ 1,140 (trillion and one hundred and forty billion dollars) and we have demanded a lot of transparency in the issue of implementation of loans, and today we demand the need for transparency by returning the money of the poor citizen.
Iraq is a country where all the elements of development are in need of the power of the Ministry of Planning, the seriousness of the Ministry of Finance, and the courage of financial control. These factors are capable of helping you, MP, who is keen to return funds and use them sincerely to build the new Iraq. God helps us to return these funds. .... link/

Samson: New national budget for Iraq expected
Economists here believe that the Iraqi Parliament will make a new national budget to avoid the expected deficit if oil prices did not increase.
Belief is spreading that the new budget will calculate oil prices at $49 per barrel, while the current proposed budget put the price at 56 dollars per barrel.
If the prices of oil did not increase, the Iraqi parliament will resort to the alternative budget, taking into consideration that oil prices are affected by political factors and US manipulation in world oil economy according to its interests, economists predicted.
Iraqi Parliamentary Financial Commission announced that the deficit in the budget reached to 27 trillion Iraqi dinars, calculated on $56 per oil barrel.
It is noteworthy that "the websites dealt with figures that show that each deputy receives a salary and allowances of 25 million, and therefore all the Parliament recognizes the salaries of its deputies monthly by 8 billion and 225 million dinars." LINK

Q: How to serve static files in FastAPI I am trying to serve static files that I have in a package_docs directory. When I open in the browzer:
http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/index.html , the page is running.
But I want to open the page: http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/
without the source file. And the output is  404 Not Found
app.mount("/packages/docs",
    StaticFiles(directory=pkg_resources.resource_filename(__name__, 'package_docs')
    ),
    name="package_docs")

@app.get("/packages/docs/.*", include_in_schema=False)
def root():
    return HTMLResponse(pkg_resources.resource_string(__name__, "package_docs/index.html"))

app.include_router(static.router)
app.include_router(jamcam.router, prefix="/api/v1/cams", tags=["jamcam"])

How can I change my code? Any advice will be helpful. Thank you in advance.

A: There's a html option in Starlette that can be used within FastAPI. Starlette Documentation
This would let you have something such as:
app.mount("/site", StaticFiles(directory="site", html = True), name="site")

Which would parse /site to /site/index.html, /site/foo/ to /site/foo/index.html, etc.
The other answers can help you redirect if you want to change the folder names in a way not handled by using "directory = /foo", but this is the simplest option if you simply want to load the associated .html files.

A: If app.mount is not an option,
you can always manually read the file and respond with its content...
For example, if your static files are inside /site then:
from os.path import isfile
from fastapi import Response
from mimetypes import guess_type

@app.get("/site/{filename}")
async def get_site(filename):
    filename = './site/' + filename

    if not isfile(filename):
        return Response(status_code=404)

    with open(filename) as f:
        content = f.read()

    content_type, _ = guess_type(filename)
    return Response(content, media_type=content_type)

@app.get("/site/")
async def get_site_default_filename():
    return await get_site('index.html')

A: You need to use FastAPI's TemplateResponse (actually Starlette's):
from fastapi import Request
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates

app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static")

templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="package_docs")

@app.get("/items/{id}")
async def example(request: Request):
    return templates.TemplateResponse("index.html", {"request": request})

Request as part of the key-value pairs in the context for Jinja2. So, you also have to declare it as query parameter. and you have to specify a html file you want to render it with Jinja ("your.html", {"request": request})
Also to return a HTMLResponse directly you can use HTMLResponse from fastapi.responses
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse

@app.get("/items/", response_class=HTMLResponse)
async def read_items():
    return """
    <html>
        <head>
            <title></title>
        </head>
        <body>
        </body>
    </html>
    """

You can read more about custom response from FastAPI Custom Responses

A: From the docs

The first "/static" refers to the sub-path this "sub-application" will be "mounted" on. So, any path that starts with "/static" will be handled by it.

This means that you mount your directory at http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/ , but you then need to either specify a file in the URL, or add a handler as you did. The problem though, is that since you mounted the path first, it will not take into consideration the following paths that include part of the path.
A possibility is to first specify the path for http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/ so that it is handled by fastapi and then to mount the folder, serving static files.
Also, I would redirect users asking for http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/ to http://127.0.0.1:8001/packages/docs/index.html

A: ▶ 1. You don't need to create route to serve/render homepage/static-folder explicitly. When you mark a directory as static it will automatically get the first argument as route of the app.mount() in this case it's app.mount("/"). So, when you enter the base url like http://127.0.0.1:8000/ you will get the static files.
▶ 2. app instance of the FastAPI() class. Yes, you can have as many instance as you want in a single FASTAPI app.
▶ 3. api_app instance of the FastAPI() for other api related task.
The reason 2 & 3 need because if you want to stick with just app instance, when user req for the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/, user will get the the static file, then when user will req for http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello then the server will try to find hello inside static-folder, but there is no hello inside static-folder!, eventually it will be a not-found type response. That's why it's need to be created another instance of FastAPI api_app, and registered with prefix /api(▶  -> 5), so every req comes from http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/xx, decorator @api_app (▶ -> 4) will be fired!

instance declaration and mount() method calling order is important.

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
from starlette.templating import Jinja2Templates

templates = Jinja2Templates(directory='homepage-app')

# for ui
#  -> 2
app = FastAPI(title="homepage-app")

# for api
#  -> 3
api_app = FastAPI(title="api-app")

# for api and route that starts with "/api" and not static
#  -> 5
app.mount("/api", api_app)

# for static files and route that starts with "/"
#  -> 1
app.mount("/", StaticFiles(directory="static-folder", html=True), name="static-folder")

# for your other api routes you can use `api_app` instance of the FastAPI
#  -> 4
@api_app.get("/hello")
async def say_hello():
    print("hello")
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

Taking a taxi in Japan is a safe and convenient transport process in some cases. Over short distances to carry heavy luggage, during the night to get back to a lodging place and to visit some remote locations hardly accessible by train or bus, the cab remains a good solution although it can be quite expensive.
when you feel bad or have drunk too much.
Since Japanese taxis are secured, often very clean, with an impeccable quality of service, they are often ranked as the best taxis in the world. Companies are numerous; there are about sixty of them in Kyoto only.
As an anecdote, becoming a taxi driver in Japan can be very simple: just justify of three years of driving license, and obtaining the taxi license is free. Estimates are about 358,000 taxis circulating in 2015, including 50,000 only in Tokyo (according to the AFP – a global news agency), for a market valued at 25 billion dollars in total.
You can call a taxi like anywhere else in the world, by raising your hand, but around train stations taxis will welcome you only at the reserved spots. It is therefore advised to go to the taxi station, usually well displayed, and then wait in the line for your vehicle.
Be noticed: beyond the main arteries, there is usually no street name in Japan. It is therefore advised to note the building's name or even better, to get in with a business card or a map of the place where you want to go. Without such information, the driver would not even be able to enter an address in its GPS. Moreover, since very few drivers speak another language than Japanese, a local phone number can help him/her in case of problem.
Since 2015, Osaka has been testing an English-speaking taxi service stamped with an "International Visitors Taxi" sticker. In 2016, English-speaking drivers were able to register with the city taxi office to get better visibility to inform and drive foreign tourists.
Since mid 2016, the main taxi association of Tokyo has launched the "TSTiE" (Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi in English) initiative, with drivers who scored above 600 points on the TOEIC exam. They should be about 300 by 2020.
Moreover, with the Olympic Games of 2020, a company is currently developing "driverless robot taxis". This is DeNa with the help of ZMP, a robotic specialist. A first test was carried out in real situation, on a 5.3 km segment in Tokyo at the end of August 2018, and the experimental phase will last up to September 2019.
Most drivers are men in their forties or older. They are almost always wearing suits with white gloves, sometimes even with a uniform cap. Lace is often found on seats and headrests.
Next to the driver's seat, there is a remote that he will use to open and close the left rear door (sidewalk side) even if you do not carry anything of your arms. Of course, it is also possible to charge a luggage on the (quite small) car's trunk; which does also open automatically. Most of Japanese cars used for taxi are Toyota Crown models.
At the end of 2014, Toyota and Nissan announced their will to put 5,000 mini-van taxis from mid 2015 on the service, forecasting Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Thanks to its experience in New York since 2013, Nissan will impose in Japan its NV200 model, which can carry up to 5 people and several big bags or large luggages, filling the gap of tourists' complains for the lack of space in Japanese cars. Toyota also hopes that its own model will replace 30% of Tokyo taxis by 2020.
by time charge when the vehicle is not moving (applied every 105 seconds).
Also, fare calculation is raised by 20% during nightime, typically 10pm to 5am.
Most of the time you will pay in cash. Note that credit cards like Visa or Mastercard are becoming more accepted to a lesser extent; even IC cards such as Suica work. You have to look after to stickers on the door which indicate the accepted payment methods.
Avoid using taxi for long rides as the fare goes up very quickly. Finally, note that if you are more than one, you can divide the fees. For example, a four-passenger taxi ride in the city center can be faster and only slightly more expensive than a short trip by public transportation.

### How can I get a protocol log for IMAP, POP3, or SMTP to see what is going wrong?

All of MailKit's client implementations have a constructor that takes a nifty `IProtocolLogger`
interface for logging client/server communications. Out of the box, you can use the
handy `ProtocolLogger` class. Here are some examples of how to use it:

```csharp
// log to a file called 'imap.log'
var client = new ImapClient (new ProtocolLogger ("imap.log"));
```

```csharp
// log to standard output (i.e. the console)
var client = new ImapClient (new ProtocolLogger (Console.OpenStandardOutput ()));
```

### Why doesn't MailKit find some of my GMail POP3 or IMAP messages?

By default, GMail's POP3 and IMAP server does not behave like standard POP3 or IMAP servers
and hides messages from clients using those protocols (as well as having other non-standard
behavior).

If you want to configure your GMail POP3 or IMAP settings to behave the way POP3 and IMAP are
intended to behave according to their protocol specifications, you'll need to log in to your
GMail account via your web browser and navigate to the `Forwarding and POP/IMAP` tab of your
GMail Settings page and set your options to look like this:

![GMail POP3 and IMAP Settings](http://content.screencast.com/users/jeff.xamarin/folders/Jing/media/7d50dada-6cb0-4ab1-b117-8600fb5e07d4/00000022.png "GMail POP3 and IMAP Settings")

### How can I log in to a GMail account using OAuth 2.0?

The first thing you need to do is follow
[Google's instructions](https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2)
for obtaining OAuth 2.0 credentials for your application.

Once you've done that, the easiest way to obtain an access token is to use Google's
[Google.Apis.Auth](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Apis.Auth/) library:

```csharp
var certificate = new X509Certificate2 (@"C:\path\to\certificate.p12", "password", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
var credential = new ServiceAccountCredential (new ServiceAccountCredential
    .Initializer ("your-developer-id@developer.gserviceaccount.com") {
    // Note: other scopes can be found here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/scopes
    Scopes = new[] { "https://mail.google.com/" },
    User = "username@gmail.com"
}.FromCertificate (certificate));

bool result = await credential.RequestAccessTokenAsync (cancel.Token);

// Note: result will be true if the access token was received successfully
```

Now that you have an access token (`credential.Token.AccessToken`), you can use it with MailKit as if it were
the password:

```csharp
using (var client = new ImapClient ()) {
    client.Connect ("imap.gmail.com", 993, true);

    // use the access token as the password string
    client.Authenticate ("username@gmail.com", credential.Token.AccessToken);
}
```

### How can I search for messages delivered between two dates?

The obvious solution is:

```csharp
var query = SearchQuery.DeliveredAfter (dateRange.BeginDate)
    .And (SearchQuery.DeliveredBefore (dateRange.EndDate));
var results = folder.Search (query);
```

However, it has been reported to me that this doesn't work reliably depending on the IMAP server implementation.

If you find that this query doesn't get the expected results for your IMAP server, here's another solution that
should always work:

```csharp
var query = SearchQuery.Not (SearchQuery.DeliveredBefore (dateRange.BeginDate)
    .Or (SearchQuery.DeliveredAfter (dateRange.EndDate)));
var results = folder.Search (query);
```

### What does "The ImapClient is currently busy processing a command." mean?

If you get an InvalidOperationException with the message, "The ImapClient is currently busy processing a
command.", it means that you are trying to use the `ImapClient` and/or one of its `ImapFolder`s from multiple
threads.
To avoid this situation, you'll need to lock the `SyncRoot` property of the `ImapClient` and `ImapFolder`
objects when performing operations on them.

For example:

```csharp
lock (client.SyncRoot) {
    client.NoOp ();
}
```

Note: Locking the `SyncRoot` is only necessary when using the synchronous API's. All `Async()` method variants
already do this locking for you.

### Why do I get InvalidOperationException: "The folder is not currently open."?

If you get this exception, it's probably because you thought you had to open the destination folder that you
passed as an argument to one of the CopyTo() or MoveTo() methods. When you opened that destination folder, you
also inadvertantly closed the source folder which is why you are getting this exception.

The IMAP server can only have a single folder open at a time. Whenever you open a folder, you automatically
close the previously opened folder.

When copying or moving messages from one folder to another, you only need to have the source folder open.

### ImapFolder.MoveTo() does not move the message out of the source folder. Why not?

If you look at the source code for the `ImapFolder.MoveTo()` method, what you'll notice is that
there are several code paths depending on the features that the IMAP server supports.

If the IMAP server supports the `MOVE` extension, then MailKit's `MoveTo()` method will use the
`MOVE` command. I suspect that your server does not support the `MOVE` command or you probably
wouldn't be seeing what you are seeing.

When the IMAP server does not support the `MOVE` command, MailKit has to use the `COPY` command to
copy the message(s) to the destination folder. Once the `COPY` command has completed, it will then
mark the messages that you asked it to move for deletion by setting the `\Deleted` flag on those
messages.

If the server supports the `UIDPLUS` extension, then MailKit will attempt to `EXPUNGE` the subset of
messages that it just marked for deletion, however, if the `UIDPLUS` extension is not supported by the
IMAP server, then it cannot safely expunge just that subset of messages and so it simply stops there.

My guess is that your server supports neither `MOVE` nor `UIDPLUS` and that is why clients like Outlook
continue to see the messages in your folder. I believe, however, that Outlook has a setting to show
deleted messages with a strikeout (which you probably have disabled).

So to answer your question more succinctly: After calling `folder.MoveTo (...);`, if you are confident
that the messages marked for deletion should be expunged, call `folder.Expunge ();`

### How can I mark messages as read for IMAP?

The way to mark messages as read using the IMAP protocol is to set the `\Seen` flag on the message(s).

To do this using MailKit, you will first need to know either the index(es) or the UID(s) of the messages
that you would like to set the `\Seen` flag on. Once you have that information, you will want to call
one of the `AddFlags()` methods on the `ImapFolder`. For example:

```csharp
folder.AddFlags (uids, MessageFlags.Seen, true);
```

To mark messages as unread, you would *remove* the `\Seen` flag, like so:

```csharp
folder.RemoveFlags (uids, MessageFlags.Seen, true);
```

(RepublicanPress.org) – The FBI added Mexican cartel leader named José Rodolfo Villareal-Hernandez to its list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives for his role in the 2018 murder of a Texas man. In addition, a reward of up to $1 million was provided by the State Department's Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program for information leading directly to Villareal-Hernandez's arrest.
Recently, the wanted man was recently arrested in Mexico.
On January 8, the Prosecutor General's Office of Mexico (Fiscalía General de la República) issued a press release announcing Villareal-Hernandez's arrest. The notice stated they took the fugitive into custody under a US-based arrest warrant for interstate stalking and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire. The press release also advised that US authorities had 60 days to request Villareal-Hernandez's extradition.
Elements of Mexico's Criminal Investigation Agency, the Federal Ministerial Police, and INTERPOL's National Central Bureau coordinated the arrest with the Mexican Secretary of the Navy, the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination Office, and the State Investigative Agency for Nuevo León, Mexico.
The FBI issued a statement the following day confirming the fugitive's arrest by Mexican authorities. Acting Special Agent in Charge (SAC) James Dwyer of the FBI's Dallas Field Office noted that Villarreal-Hernandez's arrest marked the "next step in achieving justice for the victim's family."
Acting SAC Dwyer shared his gratitude Mexican officials for facilitating the arrest. He also thanked the FBI's Legal Attache in Mexico City, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Justice Department's Office for International Affairs, and local Southlake law enforcement officials for assisting with the investigation.
The Background of the Case
The FBI issued a press release in October 2020 announcing Villareal-Hernandez's addition to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Nicknamed El Gato (the cat in English), he reportedly stalked 43-year-old Juan Jesus Guerrero Chapa in Southland, Texas, and arranged the victim's murder-for-hire. According to the FBI, a full-sized white Toyota SUV pulled up next to the Chapa's Land Rover as his wife loaded purchases in the car at a shopping center. He was reportedly sitting in the passenger seat at the time.
A gunman, later identified as Villareal-Hernandez, exited the SUV, approached the passenger side of the Range Rover, and shot the Chapa several times. Officials later pronounced his death at a nearby hospital. The FBI issued an arrest warrant for Villareal-Hernandez in 2018.
It's not unusual for Mexican authorities to aid in the capture of fugitives from the US. For instance, Mexican authorities arrested former Anaheim, California, resident Pedro Fabian Rodriguez in July 2022 for the 2012 attempted murder of the mother of his children, according to an FBI press release. Likewise, Mexico extradited Manuel Gortari-Redondo, 45, to the US in late November 2022 for his alleged involvement in a criminal drug enterprise operating out of Tucson, Arizona.


The cinematheques of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem will host Korean Film Week, which takes place from November 2 to 7. The lineup includes Kim Han-min's historical action drama Roaring Currents , which tells the gripping tale of a major sea battle waged between Korea and Japan in 1597. Ode to My Father , directed by Yoon Je-kyoon, is set in the much more recent past and is based on the rollercoaster life of a young boy who is separated from his father and sets out on a path of survival that takes him through Germany and Vietnam. And there's a reality check or two in store in Hong Sang Soo's The Day He Arrives.
But if it's drama based on a true story you're seeking, look no further than The Tenor – Lirico Spinto . The South Korean- Japanese-Serbian co-production tells the compelling story of opera tenor Bae Jae- chul, whose career was progressing by leaps and bounds across Europe when he was struck with thyroid cancer and lost the ability to use his vocal chords. After a Sisyphean struggle to overcome the results of the disease and surgery, Bae eventually regained the use of his voice and the ability to sing, albeit with only half of his original range.
Despite the hammer blow, when he first learned that his singing career was over, Bae says that he did not feel despair.

View Hill House
Project | Leon van Schaik
A manifesto of architectural intent: Leon van Schaik reviews John Denton's Yarra Valley house for Architecture Australia.
A Corten block is set athwart the hill, with the black upper floor sitting at a right angle across it.
Image: Tim Griffith
Architect's houses are not innocent objects. Myth has it that Frank Gehry's experimentations on his own house simultaneously lost him his commercial clients and launched his career as an urban sculptor. Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields in central London, located in the former home of the architect, is today plagued by visitors seeking out the curiosities of his collection and the compendium-in-miniature of all of his architectural inventions: the enclosing wall; toy-block additive composition; and three versions of the ideal room – the diagonal cross-vaulted trellis summer house, the theatre-drop defined rectangle, and most alluring of all, the handkerchief-domed, square-plan pavilion.1 His homes were the sites of his architectural experiments, and his museum has become the repository of the purest representations of that quest.
Similarly, the houses that emerge from the hands and minds of Denton Corker Marshall are all manifestoes. They are platforms from which future works are launched. John Denton's View Hill House, set just below the apex of a promontory around which the Yarra Valley swirls in an almost three-hundred-degree arc, sets out with steely clarity one pole of that firm's quest for great architecture. In Non-Fictional Narratives (Birkhauser, 2008), the most recent monograph on Denton Corker Marshall's work, I dwell on the three-speed aesthetic employed by the practice. The look of the architecture is fast and highly graphic where the architects' potential for involvement is limited, medium and modulated where there is a complex (often institutional) client, and slow and close-grained where complete involvement is possible. All the houses are slow, and at View Hill House we confront an apogee of slow thinking. In the monograph I also describe the paradox of an architecture that is delivered around the world using a lingua franca, but delivered with a "weak force" that enables it to mould itself spectacularly well to the specifics of sites and programs. Here I believe we can see manifested a complete argument about that kind of architecture and its potential.
The house sits quietly below massive granite steps that lead to the flat summit of the hill.
I think the force that is articulated in this house stems from a mental space that is interested in approaching design component by component, ordered in a serial assembly that is potentially disassembled. This is an abstract – or abstracting – sensibility, and this comes as no surprise to those who know how matter-of-fact logic appeals to this reticent architect (Denton), how determinedly and unsentimentally urban in focus he has been. But they would also know that he enjoys theatricality, as a ritual that can flood spaces, not as something that needs to find architectural expression. The urban habitat of this architect is a converted warehouse in a quiet laneway off a treeless secondary street that is the focus of restaurant and gallery life in Melbourne. The architect, we remember, eschewed visits to the country, pretended a dislike for trees. So, the town wondered, what was he up to when he started up a vineyard in the Yarra Valley?
Rows of vines cover the long slope leading up towards the house.
The promontory he has chosen for this experiment overlooks as Arcadian a landscape as Australia affords. But the long slope away from the summit at the headland is covered in a grid of vines. Driving to the house, one is confronted with the industrial shed that houses the works of the vineyard. The drive has not been laid out as a picturesque route to the house. You have to be in the know as to which agricultural route you select. You drive along the ridge of the promontory leading to the house, a Corten block set athwart the hill, with a shiny black box at right angles sitting across it. You sweep around to the left and discover that you are under a nine-metre cantilever; a six-metre cantilever is left behind you.
The shiny black cantilevered box adds a touch of glamour to the working landscape.
There is a rule, in fire-prone areas, that you should build no more than two thirds of the way up a hillside, as the crest is subject to the fiercest winds. Here, a platform has been carved well back from the crest, and the Corten box lines the downward edge of this. From the large room inside you look back over the vineyard to the Great Dividing Range in the distance. This kitchen/living room, shielded by a full-length lifting mesh screen, is an "office" in the sense that Palladio's villas of the Veneto subsume the work of the estates that give them cause to be. This box has its guest wing end, its foyer, and its study end. The upward edge of the cut-out platform is carved out with plant and service rooms. This forms a farmer's gravelled yard, countered only by the glamour of the zone under the shiny cantilever, a zone that shimmers with nightclub splendour, and which gives onto a tall flight of massive granite steps leading to the flat summit of the hill, marked by an ordinance survey beacon. "A place for lunch," says the architect laconically, sweeping his hand along the 360-degree view. And you realize that this is also a matter of good manners. No one in the valley below has the View Hill House in his or her sight.
The subtle interiors allow the views across the Great Dividing Range to take centre stage.
Trees will be planted, says the architect. But we are in a working landscape, a Mildura block with house and sheds, or a Treviso farmstead set in practical association with its plantings. But glistening chic asserts itself in the shimmering black box, set like a periscope above the Corten block. The sides of the black box are full-height trusses, the ends are lenses that frame the lyrical landscapes far beyond. One end presents the main bedroom to the wide valley view, the other end houses offices in a more traditional, study-like way. Looking at the house it seems as if a giant hand could reach down and pluck off the periscope box and set it down elsewhere, then also pick up the Corten block and place it somewhere else. Componentry. And yet, placed as they are, they speak expressly of this site, this program, these rituals and this place. "Weak force" powerfully at work.
On the wall of the entry hall is a tiny, framed picture of a dead mouse on a plate, mourned by a fly. This appears on the labels for the wine produced by the estate. There is here an almost Roman fortitude: all things pass, but some things make time stand still.

Today ventured out of the city area of Cork towards the Rock of Cashel, a place I had been looking forward to visiting as part of the pilgrimage. The weather was…well, it was interesting as you will discover, but we started out with a light drizzle. Someone mentioned it was the archetypal Irish weather, but I wouldn't know about that.
Our drive towards Cashel took us through some more beautiful Irish countryside, made all the more glorious because of the light rain. At least that's my impression, and I'm sticking to it. The trip by coach was only a little over the hour and so we arrived in good time for our tour of the Rock.
I have to confess to feeling a little cold and wind-blown up there on the Rock, but we were guided around the buildings on the top of the Rock by the delightful Aisling who went above and beyond the call of duty given the climate. But the weather did not detract from the view from 'up there', nor the beauty of the building ruins that sit atop the Rock. In one sense, the weather contributed to a fuller appreciation of the significance of the Rock, the buildings that sit atop the Rock, and the history that is associated with this particular site.
The Rock and the buildings – and the view – provided some wonderful opportunities for photography, and there will be a posting on that, along with other photos taken during the pilgrimage in the fullness of time, once I've had the opportunity to get back to Australia, and to prepare them for posting. You will have to be patient.
Departing Cashel, we headed back in the general direction of Cork, though we deviated from the direct route to visit the township of Ballygriffin, and specifically the birthplace of Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Presentation Sisters. The site is significant as we follow the footsteps of Catherine McAuley because it was with the Presentation Sisters – at their convent at Georges Hill, Dublin – that Catherine undertook her novitiate along with her two companions at the beginning of the Sisters of Mercy.
Visiting the birthplace of Nano Nagle allowed a connection to be closed in one sense. The story of Catherine McAuley is intimately entwined with that of Nano Nagle, and to not visit Nano's birthplace would be as wrong as not visiting the former convent at Georges Hill; it would simply not make sense. Hearing the story of Nano Nagle and her vision for what would become her Presentation Sisters, is as much a part of the story of Mercy as Catherine's own story is, and it was important for us to hear it.
The site and its resident community are now dedicated to what might be described as seeking environmental justice and integrity, being located on an organic farm (operated under lease), and being a place where connecting with the environment is profoundly easy. While our visit was necessarily a short one, there was a clear and powerful connection to creation palpably present there.
Returning to Cork we were left to our own devices for dinner, so Mum and I ventured down the hill to dine. The walk down the hill was most enjoyable, as was the walk back up (it being a gentle slope most of the way) until the last 100 metres where the inclined increased dramatically. Despite all that, it was early to bed in preparation for our departure tomorrow to places north.


Is it on the Large Round stone in a pizza shape? There's the Cherry Cheese Coffeecake. There's also a Cherry Cheese Turnover or something like that, so that's smaller. You can do the coffeecake with any kind of fruit really.
There's also a Peachy Cheese Coffee Cake in "All the Best."
Thats the one I was thinking of and I believe the recipe is on here too!
There's also the Glazed Apple Wreath. I think the Cherrycheese coffeecake is yummier though!!
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In Small Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese and cherry pie filling.
2. Unroll crescent roll dough; roll out dough to 8 x 15-inch rectangle using Baker's Roller™. Cut 8 circles using Cut-N-Seal™.
3. Place 2 teaspoons cherry mixture in center of each circle. Fold dough in half, matching edges; seal with Cut-N-Seal™. Place on flat Baking Stone. Brush each turnover with egg white using Pastry Brush. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 15-17 minutes or until light golden brown.


No matter how things go for the good guys in the next two Avengers movies, it's beginning to look like the Marvel Cinematic Universe won't have Steve Rogers to kick around for much longer. Chris Evans has seemingly confirmed that he will hang up Captain America's shield after the as-yet-untitled fourth Avengers feature, due out in 2019.
It isn't the first time the idea of Evans retiring as Captain America has been raised. Initial interviews from the set of next month's Avengers: Infinity War featured much discussion about the possibility of many of the original Avengers cast retiring, talking about the movie's promotion being one of the final times they'll spend together. However, this does appear to be the first confirmation from Evans that he's planning his departure from the franchise.
Evans has made Captain America one of the studio's most beloved characters. He initially had a six-picture deal but extended it to include the fourth Avengers movie. In addition to three Captain America films and four Avengers films, he's shot small cameos in 2013's Thor: The Dark World and last year's Spider-Man: Homecoming (not to mention a post-credits tease in 2015's Ant-Man that wound up in Captain America: Civil War). In other words, he's popped up in a Marvel movie every year since 2011.


A great slam and then some!
Indie boss-battling platformer Cuphead has sold over 3 million copies.
Developer Studio MDHR announced the impressive figure for their indie title with a blog post which read: "It's hard for us to express just how appreciative we are to everyone who has played and enjoyed our niche little run & gun game with the wacky rubber-hose characters."
The brutally tough platformer sold over 1m copies in its first two weeks, no doubt thanks to it's painstakingly gorgeous, hand-painted art style, designed to emulate cartoons of the 1930s.
To celebrate the occaision, Cuphead is now on sale at 20% off on both Steam and Xbox. Studio MDHR also said that more giveaways would be coming in the next few days on the game's Twitter and Facebook pages. The blog post also highlights some of the team's favorite events of the year, including an impressive speedrun showing of the game during this year's Summer Games Done Quick.
For players who succeeded in besting all of Cuphead's roster of villains, a DLC expansion titled the Delicious Last Course (or DLC for short) is planned to release some time in 2019, though no date has been confirmed yet. The expansion adds Ms. Chalice as a new playable character, which possibly means we'll be getting three player co-op as an option. If you struggled as much as we did with the game, an extra hand(gun) will surely be useful!
StudioMDHR teased that a few more bits of information will be on the way before the end of 2018, so we'll be keeping a close eye for further announcements in the coming months.

Massive Cyberattack Results in Data Breach of 4 Million Federal Employees' Records
UPDATE: According to an article from the Credit Union Times, the Office of Personnel Management announced on its website that it will start sending out notification emails to affected individuals. Experts warn, however, that this is a great way for scammers to start sending out phishing emails targeting everyone, even individuals not affected by the breach. It is suspected that the emails might look the same as the legitimate notification emails, but including (for example) a link to a "free credit monitoring service" that will, in fact, be a phishing landing page designed to steal personal information.
Government officials who are familiar with developments told the Associated Press (AP) that the data breach happened at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which was the target of malicious hackers. The Interior Department was also targeted and this leaves the data and records that contain personal information of 4 million people across every federal agency, compromised and vulnerable.
"The FBI is conducting an investigation to identify how and why this occurred," the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement. "DHS is continuing to monitor federal networks for any suspicious activity and is working aggressively with the affected agencies to conduct investigative analysis to assess the extent of this alleged intrusion."
The Office of Personnel Management is essentially the human resources department for the Federal government, tasked with:
Issuing security clearances for employees at different government agencies, and
Handling all employee and personnel records.
The possibility of a data breach was first detected back in April, by the Department of Homeland Security. An internal investigation conducted in May, confirmed that the breach had indeed occurred.
"The FBI is working with our interagency partners to investigate this matter," an FBI spokesman said in a statement. "We take all potential threats to public and private sector systems seriously, and will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."
While all signs point to the intruders/malicious hackers being state-sponsored, the breach itself granted potential access to data that included employees' social security numbers, performance ratings, training information, job assignments and more. The exposed information could likely lead to phishing emails, developed to trick unsuspecting users to opening a link or an attachment which would then allow the malicious hacker to gain access to a system or network.
"Certainly, OPM is a high value target," said OPM Chief Information Officer Donna Seymour. "We have a lot of information about people, and that is something that our adversaries want."
U.S. officials and authorities strongly suspect the hack to originate from China. Some officials described the data breach as one of the single largest thefts of government records and data ever seen. The Office of Personnel Management – the target of the hack said in a statement that it is working in collaboration with the FBI and the DOH. While the specific numbers of how many government officials affected and separately, contractors affected could not be assessed from the data breach, the OPM said that even more records could be discovered to be stolen.
"We take very seriously our responsibility to secure the information stored in our systems, and in coordination with our agency partners, our experienced team is constantly identifying opportunities to further protect the data with which we are entrusted," OPM Director Katherine Archuleta said.
For its part, the Chinese embassy in Washington has kept quiet in the matter, not responding to any news outlets' requests for a comment just yet.

Strings(sequence of characters) are widely used in programming and Python. In Python strings are treated as built-in type or str objects. These objects are immutable sequences of characters.
str1 = "This is string 1"
Both ways are available from the official documentation. The difference is more about coding style and personal preferences.
str1 = "This is string 2"
As you can see the variable str1 has new value but also the object id returned by method(id) is different. So new object was created for this change. If you try to set the old value you will get the old object id.
Which way you are going to choose depends on several factors: number of the strings, length and performance.
So in other words if you want to join several strings you need to pass them as list of strings. The method is called on another string which is used as separator for the string join.
str.join(seq): joins list of strings based on the separator provided.
replace(str1, str2): remove a string from another string. If the string is not matched the initial string is not changed.
split('separator'): splits the string based on the separator provided. Default separator(nothing is set as parameter) is space.
find('str'): Returns the first index of the found substring (-1 if the substring is missing).
rfind('str'): Returns the last index of the found substring (-1 if the substring is missing).
rstrip(): This method returns the string after removing all the characters from the end of the string.
lstrip(): This method returns the string after removing all the characters from the beginning of the string.
count('str'): return count of occurrence of a given string in another string.
len('str'): return the length of the string.
lower(): converts every character of the string into lower case.
islower(): returns True if all the characters in the string are in lowercase. Otherwise return False (even if only 1 character is in upper case).
isupper(): returns True if all the characters in the string are in uppercase. Otherwise return False (even if only 1 character is in lower case).

The economic concepts presented in market-leading MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS, 12e, show you how to use common sense to understand business and solve managerial problems. This innovative text helps you sharpen your economic intuition--an invaluable skill that helps you, as a future manager, decide which products to produce, costs to consider, and prices to charge, as well as the best hiring policy and the most effective style of organization. With its unique integrative approach, the text demonstrates that important business decisions are interdisciplinary, illustrating how different functions work together. A basic valuation model is constructed and used as the underlying economic model of the firm; each topic is then related to an element of the value maximization model--a process that shows how management integrates accounting, finance, marketing, personnel, and production functions. The text also provides an intuitive guide to marginal analysis and basic economic relations. Once you understand the importance of marginal revenue and marginal costs, the process of economic optimization becomes intuitively obvious. A wide variety of examples and simple numerical problems vividly illustrate the application of managerial economics to a vast assortment of practical situations. MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS, 12e, teaches you to more effectively collect, organize, and analyze information, giving you powerful tools that can help you become more successful--and satisfied--in your career.

Fabian Schnell develops a version indicating that by means of conserving actual rates of interest too low, financial coverage can distort the allocation of assets throughout organisations and almost certainly hold up financial restoration after a recession. it is a new channel of economic coverage that's in particular appropriate in view of "Quantitative Easing" courses. A moment version makes a speciality of the momentary implications of heterogeneously effective corporations, exhibiting an acceleration impact of expertise shocks. eventually, an empirical research of agencies' price-setting behaviors indicates that time-dependent components, relative to state-dependent ones, play a small function with admire to the chance and the scale of a value swap. All effects offer new insights for financial policy.
Forex festival and foreign currency Markets is an enormous new theoretical and empirical learn of overseas currencies that makes a speciality of the function the Euro (the destiny eu foreign money) will play within the foreign financial and monetary approach, besides the USA greenback and the japanese yen. not like a lot of the prevailing literature that methods the topic from a macroeconomic standpoint, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical version that makes use of video game idea, time sequence and panel econometrics, and hyperlinks monetary markets research with transaction fee economics.
Essays by way of favorite students and policymakers honor essentially the most influential macroeconomists of the final thirty years, discussing the subjects in the back of his paintings.
The cave in of communism in jap Europe has raised a few questions in regards to the destiny process their economies. Has capitalism gained or is anything diverse rising? Has marketplace socialism vanished for reliable? How can the transitionary interval be controlled and what influence will it have at the lifestyle in japanese Europe?
Instruction manual of Tourism Economics: research, New purposes and Case stories presents an updated, concise and readable assurance of crucial issues in tourism economics. It will pay cognizance to appropriate conventional subject matters in tourism economics in addition to interesting rising issues during this box -- themes that are anticipated to be of constant value.
05. 3 shows the welfare level relative to steady state (as a percentage) in dependence on the parameters ψ and γ for this different situation. 3: Utility after a preference shock depending on monetary policy with r∗ > r. Contrary to the case described above, welfare-optimizing policy now requires 28 positive values for ψ and γ, although this would shift the economy further away from its steady state. The reason for this is the preference for variety of individuals. From their perspective, monetary policy should permit more firms to enter the market regardless of their relatively low productivity.
Unanticipated shocks are the source of economic fluctuations and therefore are the justification for an active monetary policy. The model is static. 1 Households It is assumed that the economy consists of a constant population of identical households normalized to one. These households own the total capital stock (denoted by K) and all technologies in the economy. 1) ω∈Ω where c(ω) describes consumption of a specific variety, and q is a common preference parameter. The budget constraint reads as ω∈Ω p(ω)c(ω)dω I, where I denotes the income of a household.
15 Because the definition for household income closes the model, the following proposition can be made. Proposition 1. For any given set of parameters [r > 0, f > 0, q > 0, K > 0, M0 > 0] and distribution G(ϕ) defined over the interval [0, ∞), the economy is characterized by a unique and stationary equilibrium. Proof. 1. Contrary to Melitz (2003), in equilibrium, the firm-level determinants (ϕ∗ , ϕ, ˜ p) are not independent of the size of the economy, which can be approximated by K. A higher capital stock enables more firms to stay in the market.

A Covidien transvaginal mesh settlement will resolve some of the more than 11,000 claims currently pending against the company. Covidien agreed to the settlement on June 23rd, involving transvaginal mesh devices that allegedly caused patients to suffer severe and painful side effects.
The West Virginia federal court filing did not disclose the amount of the settlement or the number of cases that will be resolved.
Covidien recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $180 million for the third quarter of 2014, to fund litigation over vaginal mesh products. Last year, Medtronic also announced plans to purchase Covidien for $42.9 billion in cash and stock.
Surgical mesh is a device used to offer additional support when repairing weakened or damaged tissue. It is frequently used for urogynecologic procedures, such as repair of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Surgical mesh is permanently implanted to reinforce the weakened vaginal wall in patients suffering from POP and to support the urethra or bladder neck to repair SUI.
The three main surgical procedures to treat pelvic floor disorders with surgical mesh include — transvaginal mesh to treat POP, transabdominal mesh to treat POP and a mesh bladder sling to treat SUI.
According to a regulatory ruling filed on Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from Medtronic, roughly 11,300 filed and unfiled Covidien mesh claims were involved. The filing notes that two Covidien subsidiaries supplied vaginal mesh products to another medical device manufacturer and in some cases the company is indemnifying that company. Covidien also said it believed that company was responsible for indemnifying it for claims regarding the marketing and promotion of the vaginal mesh devices.
The filing did not name the manufacturer in question, but C.R. Bard has disclosed in regulatory filings that two Covidien subsidiaries served as its vaginal mesh product supplier. The Bard filings also noted that the company believed Covidien was responsible for defending or indemnifying it in roughly half of the more than 14,000 claims brought against it.
In total, approximately 100,000 transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed in state and federal courts against companies that make the devices. Plaintiffs share the belief that poor design and the use of subpar materials have caused serious mesh side effects, such as nerve damage, infection and bleeding.
In March, a California jury awarded $5.7 million in damages to a plaintiff — including $700,000 in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages — over a faulty Ethicon TVT Abbrevo pelvic mesh device. Last year, a West Virginia jury returned a $3.27 million verdict in favor of a woman who sued Ethicon for damages caused by a pelvic mesh device. Ethicon has noted plans to appeal.


You'll get to the town of La Fortuna just in time to catch a tour to the Lost Canyon to do an exciting canyoneering tour. On this tour you'll rappel, down-climb, jump into pools and trace along a gorgeous jungle canyon that runs along the base of the Children's Eternal Rainforest. Two of the tropical waterfalls are over 200-ft high and you'll take advantage of a heart-pounding "guided-rappel" as you zip your way to the base. After the excitement of the tour, you'll make your way back up the canyon to our Canyon Café to clean-up, change into your dry clothes and have a delicious, natural lunch.
You'll then have free time to roam around the friendly and touristic town of La Fortuna to do souvenir shopping and hang out at local coffee shops.


Venus Wafers recently announced the launch of 'Non-GMO Project Verified' water crackers under its brand, The Original Mariner Biscuit Company. The Mariner Water Crackers have also been verified "Vegan" by the Vegan Action/Vegan Awareness Foundation.
Mariner Crackers were previously not vegan because bone char was used to remove the color from sugar.
Five varieties will be available: Original Water Cracker, Basil and Roasted Pepper, Cracked Peppercorn, Toasted Sesame Seed, Olive Oil and Sea Salt. Each 4-ounce box has a SRP of $3.29.
