Social Innovator of the Week: Moayad Qabbari
By Microsoft Devices Team
During my recent trip to Egypt to attend the EMAJ2012 conference, I was lucky enough to run across social media guru and all-round young-trepreneur (if Tom can use that word, so can I!) Moayad Qabbari. Here's a little more about this inspiring young chap.
21-year-old Moayad (don't worry, I can't pronounce it either) is perhaps best known for his role as webmaster and social media guru for Egypt-based youth portal What's up Youth (WupY). WupY aims to connect youth in the Middle East to events and organisations that can help further their personal development, and has a network of over 50,000 individuals across the region.
'WupY is a platform that offers opportunities and and chances to young people not just in Egypt but across the whole Middle East.'
In 2010, they won a World Summit Youth Award as one of the best e-content platforms working to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
'We aim to bridge the gap between organisations and offline opportunities and a vibrant online community of hyper-connected individuals.'
As well as running activities WupY also has its own online streaming channel, WupY TV, where they live-stream discussions, conferences, forums and other events from different youth, national and international organisations. Recently, they have been involved in a campaign to raise awareness of the UN's International Day of Peace.
via WupY
But WupY isn't the only enterprising project Moayad has been involved in. Despite his young years, he has been prolific on the civil society scene in Egypt for several years:
'I started to get involved in the civil work community back in April 2009 as one of the founders of Alexandria's CashFlow Club. Since then I have worked with various social enterprises and youth communities in Egypt, including SIFE (Student In Free Enterprise) at Alexandria University, YAPD (Youth Association for Population and Development) Alexandria, AIESEC Alexandria, as well as participated in five simulation models for the EU, UN, OIC, Nile Basin Initiative and EuroMed Summit.
I was also part of the organising team of the first TED conference to take place in Alexandria in 2010.'
With all of that going on, it's hardly surprising that Moayad is Nokia Connects' Social Innovator of the Week!

Q: fetch value from another dataframe based on a lookup value in pandas I have two pandas dataframes:
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'Type':list('ABCD'), 'Set':list('ZZXY')})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'Type':list('ABCDEF'), 'Test':list('PQRSTM')})

I want to check if the values of df2['Type'] is present in df1['Type'] and if yes, then replace the corresponding value in df1['Set'] with the corresponding value from df2. So, the final df1 should like this
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'Type':list('ABCD'), 'Set':list('PQRS')})

Thanks

A: Try Merge:
import pandas as pd

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'Type':list('ABCD'), 'Set':list('ZZXY')})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'Type':list('ABCDEF'), 'Test':list('PQRSTM')})

df1= pd.merge(df1,df2, left_on = 'Type', right_on = 'Type', how ='left').drop('Set', axis =1)

print(df1)

Loud calls mean smaller balls in howler monkeys
October 23, 2015 By Sam Catherman
A new study reveals that howler monkeys with the loudest calls produce less sperm than their quieter counterparts.
The next time a male calls out to you on the street, you can rest easy knowing that he's just trying to compensate for something. According to a report from Phys.org, catcalling may not just be a human trait. A recent study shows that howler monkeys, which weigh roughly seven kilograms, produce a loud, guttural wail to attract mates. The loudest ones, however, are the ones that produce the least sperm.
Howler monkeys are some of the loudest land-animals on the planet, and their tiny bodies can produce a roar that is similar in frequency to that of a tiger. For male howler monkeys, one of the main uses for their complex and robust set of vocal cords is to attract mates and scar off other rival males.
A new study compared the volume and intensity of a howler monkey's roars with their overall reproductive success. Scientists found that the ape made a tradeoff, sacrificing testicular size and sperm production for a stronger set of pipes.
The key to the monkey's ability to roar so loud is in a bone called the hyoid, which is bulbous, hollow, and located in the throat. This bone allows the monkey's roar to resonate and multiply in intensity. The bigger this bone, the researchers found, the smaller the monkey's testes would be.
The trade-off between testicular size and roaring intensity is linked to the different mating systems of a number of howler monkey species. Males with big hyoids and loud roars tend to stay in small social groups, with a male dominating a number of females at once.
Males with larger testes and smaller hyoids live in groups of five or six, and females mate with each male in the group. The competition for reproduction in these groups centers around the quality and quantity of sperm, and not so much an individual's ability to "out-roar" another.
The study's findings were published in the journal Current Biology, and explain why sexual selection hinges on a number of different factors. According to Charles Darwin's research in 1871, these "pre-and-post-copulatory reproductive strategies" can help specialized species have the best chance of passing on their genetic information to a subsequent generation.
According to Dr. Jacob Dunn, a professor of Biological Anthropology at the University of Cambridge and the study's lead author, each species of howler monkey takes its own strategy for reproduction.
When males produce large bodies, bright colors, and outwardly-aggressive body features like horns or big teeth, they are unable to create other traits that would help them successfully reproduce. Conversely, when males invest in their ability to produce higher quantities of sperm, they lose out on the outward signifiers of attraction and must spend more time looking for a mate on their own.
Dr. Dunn isn't positive, but he and his research team believe that the tradeoff faced by male howler monkeys relates to the amount of energy required to produce such loud screams. Louder monkeys have less energy to invest in the testes, but they may not need to do so as their howls are effective at deterring rival males.
The researchers measured the testes size across numerous different howler monkey species and used 3D laser scans to measure over 250 hyoid bones. They also measured the volume of a number of different howler monkey roars.

Congressional primaries: Sessions in Alabama Senate runoff
By ALAN FRAMMarch 4, 2020 GMT
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn Cornyn waves to a supporter before speaking to a small group of supporters and media at Cypress Street Station, a restaurant in Abilene, Texas, during a campaign stop, Tuesday, March 3, 2020, during the state's primary election. Cornyn is facing four primary challengers Tuesday. (Ronald W. Erdrich/The Abilene Reporter-News via AP)
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump used a scolding tweet Wednesday to undermine his former attorney general's attempt for a political comeback, hours after Jeff Sessions was forced into a Republican primary runoff for his old Senate seat in Alabama.
Trump's online outburst came as Sessions faces a March 31 matchup against former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, a political novice. For that contest in the GOP stronghold, Sessions will need as much support as possible from Trump-friendly voters.
It was Trump's latest eruption over Sessions' 2017 decision, as head of the Justice Department, to withdraw from overseeing the investigation into Russia's efforts to assist Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
"This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn't have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!" Trump wrote in his tweet after Super Tuesday's races.
Voters in Alabama, North Carolina, Texas and California picked dozens of candidates for Election Day's contests for control of Congress. The races were giving party leaders an initial look at whether 2020 voters were reacting to the combative era of Trump by showing a preference for centrist or ideological candidates.
North Carolina Democrats chose establishment-backed moderate Cal Cunningham over a progressive challenger to battle GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, who was easily renominated. That set the stage for a pivotal November showdown that will help decide which party runs the Senate next year.
In Texas, MJ Hegar, backed by national Democrats, advanced to a runoff for her party's nod to oppose GOP Sen. John Cornyn, who cruised to renomination. Hegar's runoff rival was unclear in incomplete returns early Wednesday.
Sessions hoped the sour relationship he endured with Trump as his first attorney general wouldn't derail his Alabama comeback bid. In incomplete results, Sessions trailed Tuberville slightly and lagged behind the combined total for Tuberville and Rep. Bradley Byrne, his next nearest rival, by nearly 2-1, a clear danger sign for a household name like Sessions. Alabama requires a runoff if no candidate receives more than half the primary's votes.
Sessions was one of the most conservative senators when he joined Trump's Cabinet. Their relationship crumbled, and Sessions resigned in 2018.
In the primary, Sessions cast himself as a Trump loyalist anyway. Trump remained virtually silent, which didn't help Sessions. His rivals promoted their own fealty to Trump, with Tuberville saying in an ad, "God sent us Donald Trump."
The GOP primary winner will be favored in November against Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat. Jones defeated former Alabama state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore in a 2017 special election after Moore was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with teenagers decades ago when he was in his 30s. Moore limped this time to a weak fourth-place finish.
The congressional contests were undercards to the day's Democratic presidential primaries in 14 states and one territory. Moderate former Vice President Joe Biden was waging a reinvigorated fight against avowed democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, all but winnowing the field to a two-candidate competition over confronting Trump in November.
Still, Tuesday's races marked the start of months of congressional primaries.
North Carolina's Tillis is one of the GOP's most vulnerable incumbents as it defends its 53-47 Senate majority. He alienated conservatives by briefly opposing Trump's move to defy Congress and channel federal funds to building a wall along the Mexican border. Tillis' fate will hinge on how Trump, who's since endorsed him, fares in the swing state come November.
Cunningham is a former state senator who served as an Army lawyer in Iraq and Afghanistan and whose centrist stances were attractive to party leaders.
His closest competitor was liberal state Sen. Erica Smith, who waged a long-shot effort to become the first African American woman elected to the Senate from the South. She was badly outspent, despite $3 million disbursed on her behalf by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who'd hoped to undermine Cunningham.
In Texas, Cornyn was nominated for a fourth term and seems difficult for Democrats to dislodge in November.
Hegar, the Democrat, lost a surprisingly close 2018 House race and was backed by her party's hierarchy after former Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke declined to challenge Cornyn. She was an Air Force helicopter pilot who was wounded in Afghanistan.
Her challengers included longtime state Sen. Royce West and Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez, a liberal political organizer endorsed by progressive luminaries such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
In a district wriggling from the Mexican border to San Antonio, eight-term Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of the House's most conservative Democrats, was trying to hold his sprawling South Texas district against liberal challenger Jessica Cisneros.
Around Fort Worth, 12-term GOP Rep. Kay Granger foiled a challenge from conservative Chris Putnam. Granger, who has helped cut budget compromises as top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, was criticized as too moderate by Putnam, who drew support from the anti-spending Club for Growth.
Conservative Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy will defend his district, which stretches west from Austin and San Antonio, against Democrat Wendy Davis. He will be favored against Davis, who is best known for her 13-hour 2013 filibuster against an anti-abortion bill in the state Senate.
Former Rep. Pete Sessions, defeated in his Dallas district in 2018 after 11 terms, made a GOP runoff for a more Republican-leaning open seat around Waco. Former Trump White House physician Ronny Jackson reached a Republican runoff for a North Texas district.
California, whose heavily Democratic 53-seat delegation is Congress' largest, featured all-party primaries Tuesday. Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles might face a liberal challenger when each contest's top two finishers meet in November.

Ross McEwan claims RBS "deeply regret the mistakes made in the past" yet fails to accept critical report's findings in letter to Nicky Morgan MP
Post categories In Banking Law, Derivatives, Financial Services Litigation, Fixed Rate Loans, GRG Review, Litigation, Uncategorized
In a letter to Treasury Select Committee chair Nicky Morgan MP, Ross McEwan, Chief Executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, speaking about the GRG report, acknowledges that the bank could have "done better" in managing SME customers in financial distress but does not accept the critical report's findings. He further claims that the bank and the way it operates has changed fundamentally since the period under review.
Andrew Bailey of the FCA has described RBS's attitude as "unfortunate", stating if there had been "a meeting of the minds between the parties early on, then it would have been a quicker process". The FCA has begun its second focused investigation into GRG and Mr Bailey has made it clear that this could lead to enforcement action.
Letter from Ross McEwan, RBS to Nicky Morgan MP, Chair of the Treasury Select Committee
"Dear Nicky,
Thank you for your letter of Wednesday 25 October in which you asked me to set out the points that we do not agree with in the Interim Report published by the FCA on the 23 October and to clarify GRG's objectives versus those of RBS Restructuring. To assist the Committee in its work, I have taken your questions in order and summarised below the key points that we have made to the FCA during the course of the process.
It is in my view also important to put those points in the context of the findings. that we do accept, and to make clear that we are now very much focused on putting things right for our customers through the automatic refund of complex fees and a complaints process overseen by retired High Court Judge, Sir William Blackburne. Regardless of our view, any relevant customer who feels they were treated inappropriately whilst in GRG should make use of the complaints process. In the event that a customer does not agree with the bank's determination, they can appeal to Sir William. The bank will adhere to any decision he makes.
We deeply regret the mistakes we have made in the past when dealing with some of our SME customers in GRG. That is why we were clear in our apology to those who went through what was a difficult experience as a result of the crisis, and to whom we did not provide the level of service and understanding that we should have done. We have made significant changes to how we work with customers in financial distress, both during and since the relevant period (2008 -2013).
I welcomed the publication of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA} Interim Report, which was also consistent with the summary conclusions published by the FCA in November 2016. I also welcomed the FCA's confirmation that the most serious allegations against the bank have not been upheld and that the steps we announced last November remain appropriate.
I will take each of the points in turn.
Accepted findings
We fully accept that that we did not, in all cases, fully comply with our own policies or always meet the standards of service that we set ourselves, and, notwithstanding that this was an exceptionally challenging time for the bank, we could have done better in managing our SME customers in financial distress. For customers, this manifested itself in the failings below, which the bank accepts were, during certain periods, widespread:
A lack of clarity in some communications with customers as to the reasons for their transfer to GRG;
in the identification of customer complaints and/or a failure to address them in an appropriate manner;
in the documentation or explanations of rationale behind decisions relating to pricing following transfer to GRG; and,
to manage the risk and perception of conflicts of interest in relation to the activities of West Register.
The bank has taken steps to address these failings. These include significant changes to the governance, mandate, operating model, policies and procedures for managing our SME customers in financial distress. They also include the automatic refund of complex fees and the complaints process overseen by Sir William.
The bank also notes and agrees with the clear findings that there is no evidence to support numerous serious allegations. The independent review did not find widespread or systematic inappropriate treatment of customers in the following areas:
RBS did not set out to artificially engineer a position to cause or facilitate the transfer of a customer to GRG;
SME customers transferred to GRG were exhibiting clear signs of financial difficulty;
there was not a widespread practice of identifying customers for transfer for inappropriate reasons, such as their potential value to GRG rather than their level of distress;
there was not a widespread practice of requesting personal guarantees and I or cash injections when GRG had already determined that it had no intention of supporting such businesses;
there was not a widespread practice of RBS making requests for information from customers that were unnecessarily burdensome;
there was not a widespread practice of RBS acting as a 'Shadow Director';
there was no evidence that an intention for West Register to purchase assets had been formed prior to the transfer of the customer to GRG; and,
there were no cases identified where the purchase of a property by West Register (as opposed to by another person) alone gave rise to a financial loss to the customer.
In addition, we note the acknowledgement that:
there was no evidence that the bank adopted an approach to internal valuations that would have systematically resulted in valuations that were too low, nor that the valuation was clearly incorrect on any individual case in the review sample; and,
there was no clear causal link between any inappropriate actions of the bank and the insolvency of an otherwise viable business.
Areas of Difference
The bank has been fully and constructively engaged with the FCA since the outset of this process in 2014, and has provided detailed feedback at various stages.
The points set out below reflect concerns the bank expressed over the methodology and approach adopted by the Skilled Person, which departed from the approach set out in the FCA's Requirement Notice. These include the use of standards other than market comparators as well as a lack of consideration of customer impact.
Systematic
In line with the original allegations, the FCA Requirement Notice contains a specific definition of 'systematic': as 'an intentional and coordinated strategy' to treat customers inappropriately. This important, defined term has, however, been redefined by the Skilled Person as a failure 'to address an inevitable and foreseeable consequence of a decision (whether by way of act or omission) that some other result would ensue'.
The Skilled Person has not identified any instances of the bank displaying any actual, strategic intent to systematically mistreat customers. Rather the Skilled Person uses its own expanded and alternative definition of 'systematic' failings as the basis for its conclusions.
It is clear that the findings do not support a conclusion of 'systematic' inappropriate treatment of customers under the original definition.
As a result, we do not believe that the term 'systematic' is appropriate for what should, in many areas, be more appropriately described as weaknesses in controls.
Widespread inappropriate treatment
We clearly acknowledge that in some areas we could have done better for SME customers in GRG and that some of these shortcomings would have been widespread.
The bank does not agree that that the evidence relied upon by the Skilled Person substantiates the key finding that the bank is guilty of 'widespread inappropriate treatment of customers'.
The Skilled Person focused on conduct in isolation from customer outcomes and assessed inappropriate treatment independent of identification of any customer detriment or causal link.
There is also no distinction drawn between process failings and conduct failings. Taken together, these approaches result in misleading conclusions likely to be misunderstood as suggesting that the bank was guilty of serious conduct failings and that these led to poor outcomes for customers.
A significant number of shortcomings identified by the Skilled Person were process failings that did not, and indeed could not, have caused any customer detriment. By way of example, in the 118 findings in relation to pricing, the Interim Report states that they primarily related to the failure to record the rationale for the pricing increases and I or a failure to properly inform customers of the rationale for the pricing increases. Furthermore, the Skilled Person did not assess customer outcomes as part of its review.
Material Financial Distress
The report acknowledges that there was no clear causal link between any inappropriate actions of the bank and the insolvency of an otherwise viable business. However, one of the most significant findings in the report is that in a minority of the review sample 111% total, 16% of what the Skilled Person identified as potentially viable cases the bank is likely to have caused material financial distress to customers.
We do not agree that the bank's actions caused material financial distress in these cases. In addition, we do not accept that there was any causal link between the actions of the bank and the insolvency of any of those businesses. The Skilled Person appears to classify an unquantified level of financial detriment as 'material financial distress', regardless of whether a customer has suffered any financial impact at all.
By way of example, seven of the nineteen cases identified by the Skilled Person, relate to pricing proposals which were either not implemented by the bank or not paid by the customer. As such, the customer's business cannot have suffered any financial detriment, let alone have become distressed.
Implications of the 'turnaround' findings
As acknowledged in the Interim Report, 'commercial lenders have no obligation to lend to a business customer on terms that they find unacceptable or to continue to lend on terms that are no longer being met by a business customer in default'.
The bank has serious concerns regarding the wider implications for both RBS and commercial lending generally in relation to certain findings and recommendations, particularly those relating to 'turnaround practice'. These concerns include, amongst others: the definition of a 'customer' and duties to third parties; the finding that the absence of extended forbearance or debt forgiveness may constitute unfair or inappropriate customer treatment; and an obligation to consider all potentially credible customer proposals in each case, notwithstanding the increased risks to lenders' advances or collateral and the contractual rights open to lenders in the event of default by borrowers.
The turnaround obligations inferred or implied by the Skilled Person do not, in fact, exist. If they did, they would profoundly change the credit risks that banks are prepared to take and would set a precedent that would undermine the certainty of contractual bargains. In reaching many of its conclusions, we consider that the Skilled Person has paid insufficient regard to the underlying contractual relationship between the bank as lender and the customer as borrower.
These findings appear to be at odds with a bank's contractual rights and prudential obligations and to the best of our knowledge do not reflect how the SME lending market operates in practice. Indeed, some of these findings and recommendations seem more suited to a consumer lending landscape than to a commercial one. As such they could have, if implemented as suggested, significant implications for SME lending and the flexibility afforded to SME customers in distress.
GRG relations with customers
The Interim Report found that RBS's relations with its customers were often insensitive, dismissive and sometimes unduly aggressive. Whilst it may have been the case that examples of such behaviour did occur, we have seen no evidence to support this assertion on a widespread basis.
The bank was not afforded the opportunity to review the allegations made by those customers who were interviewed by the Skilled Person. We would have investigated any such claims of poor behaviour as we take them extremely seriously.
GRG staff had to deliver very difficult messages in what were extremely stressful situations. This is not an easy task and we are sorry that we did not always get it right. As a bank, we continue to embed our desired culture, values and standards, and our approach to customer treatment, including in Restructuring.
That is why the steps we announced in November 2016 were developed with the involvement of the FCA; should any customer feel they were treated inappropriately, they should make use of the complaints process.
In response to your second question requesting clarification of GRG's objectives I believe two separate points are being conflated. In our press notice of 23 October, the passage quoted is referring to the current mandate of RBS Restructuring, rather than what had been GRG's objectives.
'We recognise there has been debate around the perceived or potential conflict in GRG's objectives. To give greater clarity, the bank's Restructuring function has a single, clear purpose: To protect the bank's capital. Where practicable it will do this by working with commercial and corporate customers to support their turnaround and recovery strategies and enable a return to mainstream banking. It will always aim to recover capital in a fair and efficient manner.'
The Interim Report sets out that GRG historically had the following objectives:
To be a major contributor to RBS's financial objectives (often expressed as a contribution to RBS's bottom line) which initially focused on revenue generation but later in the review period evolved to focus on the protection of capital, (the 'commercial objective'); and,
To be at the leading edge of a wider rescue culture – focused on turnaround, rehabilitating customers in distress and working with the aim of returning customers to the frontline wherever possible (the 'turnaround objective').
I believe that this is consistent with the evidence previously supplied by RBS to the Committee. I have also enclosed a document that sets out the key changes made to RBS Restructuring that have been designed to improve our customers' experience.
In closing, I should like to be clear that we made mistakes in the past. This was at a time when customers were going through a traumatic and painful experience and RBS was experiencing an exceptionally challenging period. The culture, structure and way RBS operates today has changed fundamentally since the period under review. We have made significant changes to deal with the issues of the past, so that the bank can better support SME customers in financial difficulty whilst also protecting the bank's capital. Most importantly, however, for customers who were in GRG during 2008 -13 we have put in place two processes, with the agreement of the FCA, to assist customers who were affected: an automatic fee review for complex fees and an independent complaints process. I firmly believe that these are the right steps to take, and the FCA agrees they are appropriate. We are working hard to ensure a fair outcome for our customers as soon as we can."

Q: Is it possible that emulator runs out of memory? When i run an app, which was before some time getting installed in the emulator (though it was showing force close due to some error), now shows 'Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE' in the console. I know it's a vague question, but i want to know, why or when it occurs? Thanks in advance.
Edit:Thanks for the replies. I guess it was showing this in mine, because I included a video file in the raw folder, which was consuming a lot of space. Thanks whatsoever!

A: When you create an emulator device initially you need to specify some memory size. As far as my understanding goes, the app is first installed in the internal memory and then shifted to the sdcard. So yes it can run out of storage space, if your internal memory is filled. You may need to uninstall a few apps or create a new emulator. The same happens with android phones too if internal memory is filled.

A: yes it could. That depends on the settings you choose during the emulator configuration trough the avd manager.

It's been a little over two months since I started the OurCraves blog, and what a journey it has been! If you've read my About Me page, you'd know that the concept behind this website was very clear and specific. I wanted to share my food and health journey with others, and help interested readers in developing their food journeys too.
But then, with the pressure of competing and sharing at an international level, I started feeling overwhelmed and frankly, a bit tired. Having a food blog means that you constantly have to innovate, produce and share high-quality, professional content. It was something I had prepared myself for at the inception of the website, but what with testing recipes, trying new combinations, cooking actual meals for actual people in my life, and taking countless staged photos, I began feeling somewhat… uninspired.
If you know where to look, you'll easily find the online melting pot created by the global vegan community. Seniors and teenagers alike are sharing their creations and opinions through Instagram and their own websites. It's been such a wonderful discovery, and the best part, is that it feels like a real community. For the most part, these are people who are sincere and take the time to respond to queries and reply to comments. However, since Instagram is a photo-sharing platform, there appears to be an underlying notion that life can be staged. So, how do we create content that is both appealing to the eye, and satisfying enough to please the appetite? Well, I decided to stick to my gut. (Ooh, aren't all these metaphors ironic? ;)) After a conversation with a close relative, I was reminded of why I started and what I wanted to do with the blog.
so, What's next for ourcraves?
other general principles that bind these ideas into an accessible lifestyle.
When I started this blog a few months ago, our family had already incorporated Food Combining principles into most of what we eat each day. Furthermore, we had stopped purchasing and consuming cow's milk, dairy products or eggs, with the exception of baked goods, like pizza and dessert when out and travelling. However, through reading and watching insightful documentaries, we've decided to opt for a vegan lifestyle. We have honey occasionally, and still own leather goods, but like with any transition, change takes time and lots of thought. In a later post, I will discuss our decisions and our reasoning. But for the purpose of this post, it's sufficient to say that we are – and as a result – this blog is now dairy-free and egg-free. Goodbye ovo-lacto vegetarianism. You've been good to us, but it's time to take the next step.

Thousands of Catholic women ask Pope: Did you cover-up for McCarrick, as Viganò claims?
'We, your flock, deserve your answers now,' the women's letter reads. 'To your hurting flock, Pope Francis, your words are inadequate. They sting.'
Fri Aug 31, 2018 - 12:01 am EST

SIGN THE PLEDGE: Support and pray for Archbishop Viganò. Sign the petition here.
August 30, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A group of prominent Catholic women have written an open letter to Pope Francis imploring him to provide clarity on the "escalating" sex abuse crisis currently "engulfing" the Church.
Expressing anger, betrayal, and heartbreak, the women bluntly ask Pope Francis if Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò's detailed testimony about sex abuse being covered up by Vatican officials, including the Pope, is true or not.
"We are Catholic women deeply committed to our faith and profoundly grateful for Church teachings, the Sacraments, and the many good bishops and priests who have blessed our lives," they write.
They also call on him to publicly state when he learned of the "abhorrent" allegations against now ex-Cardinal McCarrick and if he knew about and lifted sanctions reportedly imposed on him by Pope Benedict.
"We, your flock, deserve your answers now," the women's letter reads. "The answers are surely known to you." These are "devastating" allegations that have caused our hearts to be broken and faith tested, it adds. "To your hurting flock, Pope Francis, your words are inadequate. They sting."
Be "honest with us. Please, do not turn from us," they write.
On his return flight from the pro-LGBT World Meeting of Families in Dublin, Ireland Sunday, Pope Francis refused to confirm or deny the allegations made by Archbishop Viganò. "I am not going to say a word about this," he told a journalist from CBS.
As of this writing, 10,858 women have added their name to the letter, with hundreds being added by the hour. The letter is not sponsored by any group or organization and is only the personal initiative of those who signed it, which includes wives and single women but also consecrated women and religious sisters.
"We are the mothers and sisters of your priests, seminarians, future priests and religious," the letter reads. "We are the Church's lay leaders, and the mothers of the next generation. We are professors in your seminaries, and leaders in Catholic chanceries and institutions. We are theologians, evangelists, missionaries and founders of Catholic apostolates."
Some of the more well-known signatories of the letter include:
Mary Rice Hasson, JD, Director of the Catholic Women's Forum, Ethics and Public Policy Center
Mary Hallan FioRito, Cardinal Francis George Fellow in Catholic Studies, Ethics and Public Policy Center
Obianuju Ekeocha, Founder & President of Culture of Life Africa
Professor Janet E. Smith, Professor at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit
Kathryn Jean Lopez, Senior Fellow at the National Review Institute
Carrie Gress, PhD, Author and Philosopher, Pontifex University
Jennifer Fulwiler, Radio Host and Author
Teresa Tomeo, Syndicated Catholic Talk Show Host
Leah Darrow, Evangelist, Catholic author/speaker
Ashley McGuire, The Catholic Association, Author
Alexandra DeSanctis, Staff writer, National Review
"We are the people who sacrifice to fund the Church's good work. We are the backbone of Catholic parishes, schools, and dioceses. We are the hands, the feet, and the heart of the Church. In short, we are the Church, every bit as much as the cardinals and bishops around you," the women state in the letter.
"Please do not keep us at arm's length on these questions," the letter begs. "We are faithful daughters of the Church who need the truth so we can help rebuild. We are not second-class Catholics to be brushed off while bishops and cardinals handle matters privately. We have a right to know. We have a right to your answers."
The letter points out that the Pope himself said in his 2013 apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium that he desires "a more incisive female presence in the Church," and that "women are able to pose questions that we men are not able to understand."
The letter supports calls for an investigation into the claims put forth by Archbishop Viganò. "The victims who have suffered so greatly need to know they can trust you. Families, who will be the source of the Church's renewal, need to know we can trust you, and thus trust the Church."

We arrived at the United States Military Academy - West Point - at mid-day on Saturday. The weather was primarily misty, but we decided to go on the extended tour so we could get a greater appreciation of the Academy. The USMA by being spread out contrasts with the conciseness of the USNA - Annapolis. We were glad we could see both academies on the same trip to compare them. We stayed there overnight, went to church at the chapel on Sunday morning, and took some more photos on that clear day before leaving.

Madigan: Remove images of Stephen Douglas from Statehouse

Illinois politician of 1850s owned slaves in Mississippi
By PETER HANCOCK
Capitol News Illinois
phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan on Thursday called for removing statues and portraits of the 19th century U.S. Senator Stephen A Douglas from the Statehouse along with other known slaveholders.
"While reading Sidney Blumenthal's book 'All the Powers of Earth' concerning the pre-Civil War period a few months ago, I learned of Stephen Douglas' disturbing past as a Mississippi slave owner and his abhorrent words toward people of color," the Chicago Democrat said in a statement. "I advised my staff to research and confirm the history to support removing the Douglas portrait from the House chamber."
Douglas was a prominent Democratic politician in Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s. He served briefly as secretary of state and, later, as associate justice of the Illinois Supreme Court before he was elected to the U.S. House in 1842. The General Assembly elected him to the United States Senate in 1847 and he served there until 1861, just as the Civil War was beginning.
While in the Senate, Douglas helped write the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide by popular vote whether to enter the union as free or slave states. That effectively overturned the Missouri Compromise, which banned the extension of slavery into new territories, and it led to violent tensions along the Kansas-Missouri border, setting the stage for the Civil War.
In 1858, Douglas was up for re-election, but Abraham Lincoln of the newly-formed Republican Party challenged him in the election by the General Assembly. The issue of whether or not to expand slavery to the new territories of the U.S. was the subject of a series of high-profile debates, known as the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, with Douglas arguing that it should be a matter of popular sovereignty and Lincoln arguing against the expansion of slavery.
Douglas' tolerance for slavery has long been known, but the fact that he actually owned slaves in another state was not widely known before the publication of Blumenthal's book last year.
Madigan said he plans to offer a resolution to replace Douglas' portrait in the House chamber and replace it with one of former President Barack Obama, calling that "a more fitting representation of the modern-day Democratic Party." In the meantime, he said he is looking into ways to cover the portrait immediately.
He also called on the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, which supervises all repairs and alterations to buildings in the Capitol Complex, to move swiftly to remove statues of Douglas and Pierre Menard, a slave owner and the state's first lieutenant governor, while relocating a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. to a more prominent location.
He said that office should also conduct a review of all statues, portraits and symbols on the Capitol grounds in order to identify and remove any "inappropriate" fixtures.
Madigan's call for removing images of Douglas from the Statehouse comes amid nationwide protests over racial inequality and calls for the removal of statues and monuments that honor slaveholders and the Confederacy.
"Memorializing people and a time that allowed slavery and fostered bigotry and oppression has no place in the Illinois House, where the work of all Illinoisans is conducted," Madigan said. "We can only move forward in creating a more just world when these symbols of hate are removed from our everyday lives."

Matthew McConaughey explains 'salt water and snot' kiss with Kate Hudson
By Tarrah Gibbons RADIO.COM
Whenever actors play a romantic couple in a film, things tend to get spicy yet awkward.
After Kate Hudson revealed that Matthew McConaughey had snot on his face while filming the 2008 movie "Fool's Gold," the actor is sticking up for himself.
Kate Hudson reveals her worst on-screen kiss
In October, Hudson shared who her worst on-screen kiss was, but luckily, it had nothing to do with the actor's actual lip-locking techniques. The actress told Gwyneth Paltrow on "The Goop Podcast" that McConaughey had been her worst.
Hudson explained, "The thing is, every time I kiss McConaughey, it's like, I mean, it's like there's just something happening and there's like snot or wind, or things are just… like when we were kissing in the end of Fool's Gold, we're like in the ocean, we like had the plane crash. He just had snot all over his face."
McConaughey told Yahoo! that the scene they filmed when the kiss happened was, in fact, a difficult one.
"It's like, 'OK, here's the scene: You've just jumped from the helicopter. You're in the middle of the ocean. You go under the water, so on action, go into the water and then come up out of the water like you're gasping for air," McConaughey said. "You're glad to be alive! Then you look at each other and you swim to each other and [go] into an embrace."
As the actor remembered the tough scene, he shared it involved "a lot of salt water and snot."
Even after starring alongside Hudson in "Fool's Gold" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, McConaughey revealed that several of his romantic scenes with the actress have been awkward.

Dawson Community College Women's Basketball came up short in trying to defeat the Lady Wildcats of North Dakota State College of Science in Wapheton, ND. The first meeting between the two was in Glendive, and the Lady Buccaneers got beat 89-52. This time around, Dawson was ready and fought till the end, but lost by a close margin of 70-80.
Having less turnovers was an improvement from the last game; they only had 19 this time around. However, there were three starters for the Lady Bucs who got into early foul trouble and only played primarily in the first and last quarters. Lack of scoring power from multiple Dawson players is what seems to cause many problems for the Lady Bucs. They also fell short to NDSCS's rebounding power as the home team had the edge 43-36.
Alexius Foster led the game with 24 points, along with 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. This also marks the game Foster reached 1000 points in her career, making her 1 point shy of becoming the 2nd All-Time leading scorer in the history of Dawson Community College. Tasia Moore came off the bench to score 13 points, grab 2 rebounds and dish out 2 assists. Chynna Torrence scored 11 points and had 2 rebounds as well.
Dawson will host Lake Region State College Sunday, February 10th at 2:00 pm. Sunday will also feature DCC's first inaugural induction of its Hall of Fame nominees in between the women's and men's game.

Waiting for the Next Pompeii (It Won't Be Long)
Out ThereBy Corey S PowellFebruary 26, 2014 10:33 AM
As a would-be Hollywood blockbuster, Pompeii is fizzling out. But when you watch the movie through the eyes of a volcanologist, things look quiet a bit different. "I thought, oh boy, another volcano movie. There's already been Dante's Peak, Volcano...but I was positively surprised. Actually, I was blown away," says Florian Schwandner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. "Some of the effects that were used to show eruptive events in Pompeii were so realistic that I wasn't sure if they used actual footage from eruptions of if it was animation. They got a lot of things very right, right enough that as a specialist I was excited seeing it."
The 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius, as envisioned in the movie Pompeii. (©2014 Constantin Film International GmbH and Impact Pictures (Pompeii) Inc.) To Schwandner, the real drama in Pompeii is not the love story or the swords-and-sandles battles, but the meticulous depiction of what happens when Earth's inner heat finds its way to the surface. (Um...you didn't need a spoiler alert for that, did you?) He also regards the movie as a fabulous teaching moment: an opportunity to remind people that the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD is just one small example of what our planet is capable of. More than 500 volcanoes around the world have erupted in historical times, and more 1,500 are likely to be active. "That's a lot of volcanoes," Schwandner laughs. "There are over 60 appreciable eruptions every year. Stromboli in Italy erupts every 20 minutes." Every 20 minutes? Who knew? Now Schwandner is on a roll, tossing out more statistics. About 10 percent of the entire human population lives in the vicinity of a volcano (ie, the region where an eruption would have a direct impact), he tells me. The World Organization of Volcano Observatories, or WOVO, has 70 member organizations, which collectively monitor nearly 300 volcanoes. The Alaska Volcano Observatory keeps track of 20 volcanoes. Indonesia monitors 130, including the spectacular eruption earlier this month of Mount Kelud, which forced a widespread evacuation in East Java. With all that monitoring, I wonder, how good is volcano forecasting these days? "The success rate over the last several decades has been tremendous," Schwandner says. "We have 70% accuracy on the 2-week time margin by some accounts, which is better than storm forecasting." Take that, Al Roker.
This is what Mount St Helens did in 1980. Mount Rainier could produce an even more destructive blast. (Credit: Austin Post, USGS) Getting to such a high level of accuracy requires monitoring many different symptoms: "Seismic activity, deformation, gas releases, changes in aquifers, visual monitoring—a whole suite. Monitoring is always multidisciplinary, and it is always probabilistic," Schwandner continues. Translation: His Italian colleagues would issue a warning if they begin to see a combination of danger signs, but nobody can predict far in advance when that might happen (just as nobody can forecast next year's storms). If the signs get bad enough, local authorities would order an evacuation around Vesuvius. The same goes for potential eruptions at danger zones in the United States, such as Yellowstone or Mount Rainier. The Disaster Scenario The buildup to disaster would go something like this. Satellite radar and ground sensors would detect changes in the shape of the landscape round the volcano. Up to two months before an eruption, gas monitors would pick up elevated releases of carbon dioxide. As magma and gas squirm their way closer to the surface, there would be more CO2, earthquake swarms, and changes in local aquifers. A couple weeks before, the monitors would start picking up increasing emissions of sulfur dioxide. Unfortunately, all of these measures are subjective. "There are no definitive thresholds," Schwandner admits, "but if more than one symptom starts changing with any other, then the Italian observers will start to get worried." Vesuvius is a particularly tricky because the surrounding area is so densely populated, with more than 1 million people living in the danger zone. A rapid evacuation, based on a very high, near-term risk, would be impossible. An unnecessary evacuation, based on a low, long-term risk that never materializes, would devastate the local economy. Schwandner doesn't mention it, but that uncertainty reminds me of the seven Italian seismologists and government officials who were found guilty of manslaughter for failing to warn adequately about the 2009 L'Aquila quake. This is a delicate business. 79 AD, Revisited To get a sense of what might happen if Vesuvius really were to blow again, Schwandner looks back to the events of 79 AD, essentially ticking off the various calamities depicted in Pompeii the movie. There would be pyroclastic flows and pyroclastic surges—currents of hot gas and ash that incinerate everything in their way. Contrary to what you'd expect from the names, flows are actually faster than surges because they are denser. They can reach speeds of 400 miles per hour and temperatures of 1,800 degrees F, and can travel five miles or more. "If you're within reach of that, you're toast. You're pretty burnt toast," Schwandner notes. I'm thinking that even in a car there would be no escape--defying the cinematic cliche of the hero who outruns the explosion. Schwandner gently corrects me: "There've been recorded cases of people being able to out-drive a pyroclastic flow, but those were extremely lucky cases. I wouldn't count on that." For the less fortunate, the archaeological site of Pompeii offers a somber picture of what would happen next. Most of the fatalities happened during the pyroclastic surges on the second day of the 79 AD eruption; the proximate cause of death was heat shock, which happened so quickly that "there was no time to scream," according to Schwandner. Even so, the temperature of the surges was just 500 degrees F or so, because they had cooled considerably on their way down the mountain. "That's why bodies didn't…pardon the terminology, explode," he says. "Think of a hot plate, put a drop of water on it, the water would just puff away."
Victims of the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius were killed instantly, their forms preserved in ash. (Credit: Lancevortex) Instead the corpses at Pompeii were entombed in ash, and then rotted away from within, leaving the ash shells intact. Not a pleasant thought either way. Pompeii's Sequels Vesuvius is still active, having last erupted in 1944. Much of the ash layer that tourists see when they visit Pompeii is not from the 79 AD eruption, as most assume, but from subsequent activity. And many other sites have experienced similar devastation in modern times. The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 was as powerful as the eruption that obliterated Pompeii, I'm surprised to hear. Studies of that eruption inform much current research: Volcanologists refer to Mount St. Helens as "the master teacher." As Schwandner keeps telling me, it is a mistake to think about Pompeii purely in historical terms. Refugees from Mount Kelud are just now returning home. Meanwhile, Schwandner is so enthusiastic about Pompeii the movie that I am warming to it. Yes, it's a corny mash-up of Gladiator and Titanic, with a plot boxed in by its own inevitability, but if you think of the volcano as the main character it becomes much more convincing. "When I go to see a movie like this I have a checklist in my mind, what will they get wrong this time? Will they have a lava flow running very fast? In this case, I think they did a tremendous job getting things right," Schwandner says.
A volcano in Los Angeles? Only in the movies... (Credit: 20th Century Fox) He ticks off the main offenses he encounters in volcano movies. People outrun pyroclastic flows; conversely, lava flows move too quickly, for added menace; eruptions impossibly combine ash eruptions with massive lava flows; geologic events take place out of order; special effects suffer from a general lack of scientific honesty. Pompeii passes these key tests. OK, I've got to know: What is the most scientifically infuriating volcano movie? Schwandner doesn't even need to consider the question. "Volcano, set in LA. One of the worst depictions of volcanic activity. And I live in LA..." -- Follow me on Twitter: @coreyspowell

whoever denied it, supplied it.
I've said that about my boyfriend plenty of times and all of his friends would just look at him with pure disgust ?
I don't know if you're asking a question or not or just saying a sentence?
It's kind of hard to tell, you see?
I meant to put a laughing emoji I don't know why it sent as a ?
Because emojis don't need to be everywhere, and FML understands that.
I'm not sure why, but these "On the bright side" comments really piss me off. It doesn't apply much in this situation because it's comical, but when something actually bad happens and someone says it, my reaction is just like, "REALLY!?"
at least they won't have thought it was you!
You are a force to be reckoned with. Use your power wisely, and use it for good, not bad.
So you are a bomber??

Q: Website translation: what do you give to translators? Is it okay, if you give HTML fragments to translators? If not, what do you give them and how do you get the HTML fragments back?
So is this okay to hand down?
Hey Bob, what's your name?

A: You give the translators whatever you agree with them (i.e. ask the translators what they need, not other programmers).
Throwing the markup away and giving them word fragments without context is likely to cause translation errors though. Context is important for meaning.

A: To elaborate on my comment on Quentin's answer:
We're using Ruby on Rails for our UI, but we ship an appliance. There's no URL we can send our translators for context. We'd have to send them an entire ISO, and even then they wouldn't be able to actually use the application without proper data.
Instead, we send them the raw Yaml files from config/locales, where there's one resource file per target language: en-US.yml, fr.yml, de.yml, etc. They import these files into whatever system they use, translate, export, and send us the translated Yaml. If they need context, we send them screen shots.
So anything that Rails accepts as a translatable string, we send it directly to our translators. We even extended Rails's capabilities to accept ERb templates within strings. That was a very bad idea :-)
I'm not saying this is the best solution. We often get back invalid Yaml, or they miss strings or don't translate as accurately as they could with perfect context. But it works in general.

A: If you're using some software to generate the html (ie - php/asp/asp/net/etc) then don't give the translators the resultant html, give them the resource file you used to generate the html.
You will then have a resource file for each language you want to support. You can then use either browser language settings (accessible via headers server side), the request url or even a cookie (after you asked them what language they prefer - see quietpc.com for an example of that) to figure out which language the user wants to see you site in.
Now you know what language to present your site it, you can then write you server side code to read the relevant resource file and you're all set!
So, instead of this ...
Hey Bob, what's your name?

... you would have this ...
<%=Resources.Hey%> <%=Name%>, <%=Resources.Whatsyour%> <%=Resources.Name%>

But, splitting things up like this is very bad IMO. It is better to reword things so they're not split up. I don't think this is a great example as you're asking Bob what his name is. It's Bob!!
I always try to lay out my pages so that I don't intermix variables with text.
Example ...
Name: Bob
Mood: Happy

Name and Mood can be translated. Bob and Happy are coming from variable somewhere, ie - they're dynamic.
Example markup ...

        <%=Resources.Name%>
        <%=Name%>

        <%=Resources.Mood%>
        <%=Mood%>

This is just how I've approached it in the past as I don't speak any other languages other than (bad) english, I don't really know if the way sentences are structured changes based on context. So, I've always tried to avoid sentences with embedded variables in them.


This is the advent calendar-type graphic we made to advertise Tangled Lights and Silent Nights.
This is eleventh in a series of 12 posts on historical Christmas traditions. I didn't note my sources, but please trust I did verify the information.
Believe it or not, Advent didn't always exist in the Christian church.
It slowly evolved as the Church took shape and Christianity became legal. The earliest echoes are from fourth century Francem when the Church began to use the period before Epiphany as a time of preparation for Baptism. It was called "St. Martin's Lent" for the 40 days that started on November 11, feast of St. Martin of Tours. Advent as we know it today began about 300 years later in Rome. Pope Gregory I composed many of the prayers, antiphons, and psalm responses.
Advent calendars began as a simple way to countdown to Christmas. In the 1800s, German Protestant families would count down the days until Christmas by making a mark with chalk each day in December on their front doors. In some locations, candles were used instead to mark the passage of time.
The first the use of chocolate as a gift each day of Advent seems to date to at least the 1880s when it was pinned on a board. The first printed calendar with doors that open dates to 1903 in Austria, but commercially available ones that combined chocolate and doors only date to the 1950s.
I haven't for years. I tried to get the Aldi wine advent calendar this year, but they sold out in 10 minutes!

Mam dziś dla Was dwa albumy na zdjęcia. Wykonałam je dla dwóch chłopców na ich urodzinki. Albumy miały być w podobnej tonacji, więc postanowiłam użyć jednej kolekcji papierów 🙂 Ciężko było się zdecydować na konkretny zestaw. W końcu użyłam cudnych papierów z kolekcji Carta Bella "Rock-A-Bye Baby Boy", stwierdzając, że jest idealny zarówno dla młodszego jak i starszego chłopca. Papier ten ma bardzo nietypową fakturę jak na papier scrapowy, jest taki bardziej mięsisty i nie ma gładkiej powierzchni (co starałam się uwidocznić na jednym ze zdjęć).

I have just started using data logging with the Education Edition of the EV3 software. It seems to work well until my program reads the same sensor it is logging.
As an example, my simple test program logs the gyro angle and motor current power, turns on the motor power, then, in a loop, reads and displays to the screen the gyro angle, until a certain number of motor rotations.
In this example, the motor power logs fine, but the gyro sensor angle logs a few zeros then does not log anything.
I have just seen that I am running the home edition of the firmware (V1.09H) on the brick. Could this be the problem?


Cape Town - Crystal Palace will face a tough battle to keep hold of Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer as Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make move for the defender.
Wan-Bissaka has been exceptional since breaking into the Eagles' first team and there is a long list of clubs - including Manchester United - keen to take him in the summer.
Reports claim they are to sell England right-back Kieran Trippier and use some of the £20 million to make a move for the Palace ace.
Eagles boss Roy Hodgson will no doubt face another close season in which his best transfer business will be to keep his top players at Selhurst Park rather than see them being poached away by rivals.
Meanwhile, Palace are waiting to see how bad the defender's injury is after he pulled out of the England Under-21 set up at the weekend.

I graduated from college in spring of 1979 and that fall my wife Gloria and I embarked in what has turned out to be a life-long "career" of full-time ministry. Yes, there have been challenges along the way but when I look at the lives that I've had a small part in influencing to find a personal relationship with God, and then see them grow as Christians, makes those challenges seem rather insignificant!
The verse God gave me as my call to the ministry, Colossians 1:28, continues to be what guides me in the things that I consider important as a pastor and will continue to faithfully serve His church as long as God gives me breath.
