MARSEILLE, France, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Frenchman Philippe Troussier, who signed a two-year contract as coach of Olympique Marseille on Saturday, said he had turned down offers to manage national teams so he could take the reins at the Ligue 1 club.
"If it was a question of money, I would not have come to Marseille," he said. "I was shortlisted to take over Scotland and I turned down an offer to coach Wales three weeks ago.
"The sporting aspect is the only thing I'm interested in," he told a news conference on Sunday.
A Wales spokesman said Troussier was one of three candidates interviewed for the manager's job given to John Toshack earlier this month but the Frenchman was not offered the post. The Scottish FA have denied that Troussier was on their shortlist. They are due to decide on a replacement for German Berti Vogts at a board meeting scheduled for Thursday. Troussier also said he almost reached agreement to manage Ghana and was in advanced talks with Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
"The only acceptable excuse I found not to hold to any commitment was to come to Marseille," he said on Sunday.
The 49-year-old Troussier made his reputation as a national team coach with Japan, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, South Africa, Burkina Faso and Qatar over the past 15 years but said being in charge of a club side would not make any difference.
"I have more than 200 international games behind me. I don't have any experience at European level, my experience is at world level," he said.
Known for his sometimes unconventional methods, Troussier has already decided to take his Marseille players to Normandy for two weeks to isolate them from local fan pressure.
Marseille, fifth in the Ligue 1 standings after their 3-1 victory over Nantes on Saturday, travel to Caen next weekend.


Significant progress has been made in using the waste process heat in cement plants. But the use of this process heat to generate electricity fell during past years, which saw low and steady power prices. Times are changing. Deregulation is bringing the specter of extremely volatile electricity prices, loss of control over power costs, and the real likelihood that energy prices may increase in the near term in some areas.

Record-breaking increase in COVID-19 tests after Thanksgiving in Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah — As Utahns make sure they're safe after Thanksgiving gatherings and travel, TestUtah is seeing record-breaking numbers.
"We've actually done around 9,600 tests in a day. That's the most we've ever done since the pandemic hit," said Carolina Herrin with Nomi Health. Nomi Health partners with TestUtah.
Lines of cars continued to stop by all day Monday at the testing site at the Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem.
"We not seeing a wait time in months, but with this holiday weekend and this surge — if you'd like to call it a surge — we've seen an increase," said Herrin.
According to the state health department, they saw a lull in test demand over the summer, but it picked back up again in the fall.
"It's remained fairly consistently high over the past several months since the beginning of September," said Brittany Brown, the COVID-19 deputy testing director with the Utah Department of Health. "As gatherings are moving indoors, we're seeing this increase in respiratory viruses that are going around, as well as maybe the new variant that's popping up. We may see an increase in testing."
Herrin said cars are only in line for around seven minutes and that it takes 15 minutes for results.
"Don't be discouraged by what appears to be a long line. It could look like a lot of cars, but it does move fast," she said.

Q: Not getting SQL query for UNION to return correct value ISSUES with a UNION  query, where from one table, I need the COUNT of records for "Term" where I specify "ID" and "Count" fields.
NOTE  The grader is grading down if it suspects UNION ALL was used.
I'm trying a few different formats...and none are working correctly.
------(VERSION 1)-------
e.g.
    select count(term) from frequency where (select docid =
    '10398_txt_earn' where count = '1' UNION select docid =
    '925_txt_trade' where count = '1');

Gives me "0."   The grader tells me "0" is incorrect.
If I split into the two parts, I get a value for each (110 and 225).
------(VERSION 2)-------
I modified the query, using the format here:
http://sqlite.1065341.n5.nabble.com/UNION-QUERY-td42629.html
so that I now have for the query (BTW...unlike what the poster suggests, I have to use UNION...unless I can use UNION ALL then select unique records...but this seems like an unnecessary computational step)
   select count(term) from (select * from frequency where
   (docid='10398_txt_earn' and count='1'))
   UNION
   select term from (select * from frequency where
   (docid='925_txt_trade' and count='1'));

gives me two lines of output:  line 1: 110, line 2:  225
If I replace 'select count(term)' to just 'select term'...I get a list whose length is the sum of the two values above
------(VERSION 3)-------
  select (term) from frequency where (select docid = '10398_txt_earn'
  where count = '1')
  UNION
  select (term) from frequency where (select docid = '925_txt_trade'
  where count = '1');

again, gives me two lines of output:  line 1: 110, line 2:  225
QUESTION???
How would you modify it so that you would get one value with count of the UNIQUE shared terms?

A: I would use this
select count(term) from frequency where docid in ('10398_txt_earn' '925_txt_trade') AND count = '1';

However if you need to use a UNION
select sum(termCount) from (
select count(term) termCount from (select * from frequency where
docid='10398_txt_earn' and count='1' group by term)
 UNION
select count(term) from (select * from frequency where
docid='925_txt_trade' and count='1' group by term)
);

A: You're looking for a count of both items (a where clause) and need it to also be where "count" ='1'? This sounds straight forward to me - a single where clause.
SELECT SUM(TermCounts)
FROM (
    SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT terms) AS TermCounts
    FROM frequency
    WHERE docid = '10398_txt_earn'
        AND "count" = '1'
    UNION ALL
    SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT terms) AS TermCounts
    FROM frequency
    WHERE docid = '925_txt_trade'
) CountUnion;

A: got it...this works:
from (
select term
from frequency
where docid in ("10398_txt_earn") AND count = '1'
UNION
select term
from frequency
where docid in ("925_txt_trade") AND count = '1');

Connascence of execution is when the order of execution of multiple components is important. Common examples include locking and unlocking resources, where locks must be acquired and released in the same order everywhere in the entire codebase.
The last two lines show a trivial example of connascence of execution. The setSubject method cannot be called after the send method (at best it will do nothing). In this example the locality of the coupling is very low, but cases where the locality is very high can be much harder to find and fix (consider, for example a scenario where the last two lines are called on separate threads).

A summit put together by stakeholders in the oil and gas industry has ended in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, with a pledge by major actors in the sector to rededicate themselves to the rapid development of local content in the industry.
Many of the major players in the industry, including the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu; Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru; Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Simbi Wabote and heads of International Oil Companies (IOCs) agreed to work for more local participation in the industry.
During the 8th Practical Nigerian Content Conference which had the theme 'Nigerian Content :Driving Economic Development and Stability', Kachukwu who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, noted that with the "unleashing" of the new oil and gas policies, the industry was about to witness and upswing in growth.
The minister acknowledged the role NCMDB was playing in adding value to the nation's hydrocarbon resources as well as supporting investors seeking to establish modular refineries in the country.
He described the conference as a veritable platform for industry stakeholders to assess the achievements of the Nigerian Content Act, its successes, challenges and new frontiers of possible improvements.
"On our part, we have rolled up our sleeves to deliver the type of outcomes we deserve in the industry. From unleashing the new oil and gas policies to sorting out the negative cash calls problem in the upstream sector and putting in place mechanism to address supply hiccups in the downstream sector, we have managed to stabilise our business environment and stem the tide of decline" Kachikwu said.
In his intervention, Baru said the corporation had succeeded in institutionalising the local content policy, noting that the implementation of the Local Content Act had moved the 2010 in-country capacity for pipelines production from a paltry 100,000 metric tonnes (10 per cent of annual Industry demand of one million) to 420,000 metric tonnes, representing 40 per cent of total industry demand.
He added that today, Nigerians were playing a huge role in the oil and gas sector, including participation in bidding processes for crude oil and contracts in the sector.
He assured the NCDMB of the corporation's readiness for collaboration to promote the development and commercialisation of home-grown technology and reaffirmed NNPC's commitment to comply with the provisions of the Nigerian Content Act to increase in-country value addition and support job creation.
"NNPC's new focus on localisation cannot be more apt. This concept will ensure that all crude oil and condensates are refined locally for export and globally after local demand is met" Baru assured.
Mr. Wabote, ES of the NCDMB had earlier said that the Board was currently implementing a 10-year strategic roadmap hinged on the five pillars of technical capability development, compliance and enforcement, enabling business environment, organising capacity as well as sectoral and regional market linkages.
He revealed that the Board would relocate to its 17-storey headquarters office in Yenagoa in the first quarter of next year and when operationalised would be the tallest building in the Niger Delta.
Wabote, an engineer said that the NCDMB had successfully supported the Egina FPSO in its integration activities and played a role in catalysing the establishment of local modular refineries in the Niger Delta.
In his comments, Governor Seriake Dickson bemoaned ta situation where major oil and gas deals are concluded in faraway places with little or no consideration for the interest of oil producing communities.
Dickson urged oil majors to obey the Local Content Act by relocating their headquarters to Bayelsa where most of them carry out a greater part of their businesses.
"We hope that by the time that wonderful edifice is completed and put to use, we will see more oil and gas deals being concluded in the great state of Bayelsa and that will add to the local economy.
"However, we frown on the current situation where most of these mega deals are concluded in faraway places.
"When you talk of local content, we have to be completely local. It means oil producing companies have to stay here, open their offices and interface more directly and robustly with the communities, state government and the NCDMB" he said.

Madeline Clark — I went in late last night because the whole day I was sick, weak, and very dizzy. My whole family has had staph and needed antibiotics for it. When the "doctor" came in all she could do was try and tell me how it isn't an emergency and I need to learn the deference between a real emergency and something that can wait mind you it's the weekend and late at night. I'm home without answers and they wouldn't look at my 1 year old either. Sick of Chadrons "doctors".

Hillary Hunter — After arriving at the hospital with chest pain thought to be a heart attack, I was taken back and immediately cared for by 2 very kind nurses. However it was not until 45 minutes later when I was finally give a Nitro tablet, which should be administered immediately for someone having a heart attack, whether confirmed or not. I was then seen only by a Physicians Assistant and there was no Doctor present in the hospital during the entire process. After an EKG they learned I was not having a heart attack, but still were unsure as to what was going on. I requested imaging and was denied. I was told I would be admitted and the doctor would see me at 7am. Throughout the night my vitals were never checked again until 8am when I requested both my heart rate and blood pressure be checked. I was given a dose of Morphine for pain at 7am and had a horrid reaction, vomiting, dizziness, tunnel vision, sweats, chills, it was uncontrollable. I paged for a nurse 6 times, a 45 minute duration, during this time other staff entered my room to clean, deliver food, so on, They all saw I was in bad shape and called for a nurse. The nurse finally arrived 45 minutes later, in which I asked for a bag to throw up into, she said she did not know where any were and left the room, not returning for another 30 minutes, still no bag for me. While she was in the room I stumbled to the bathroom to throw up, I collapsed on the floor by the toilet due to dizziness and tunnel vision and overall weakness. She did not help and left the room. The lady who picked up my food during this time found me and opened a cabinet next to my bed and retrieved a bag for me to throw up into and got me a wet rag for my forehead. The nurse came in and told me I just needed to relax. I asked where my doctor was and was told she was dealing with actual emergencies and she would be in later that day. My dad, who lives out of state, called the hospital demanding someone see me and help me as he had been in touch with me and I was alone at the hospital. He called the head of the hospital who refused to take his calls till Thursday, this was wednesday morning, he asked for the supervisor who never returned his calls, and later finally spoke with my doctor after 7 attempts. The doctor finally arrived at 10am in my room, and began pushing on my belly and asked "what does your dad do?", I said "Sorry? What do you mean?" , she responded harshly with "What is your dad's job? Because he seems to think he can call up here and tell me how to do my job!" I told her that he was just concerned for me and that I wanted to be transferred to a different hospital, Rapid City, so that I could receive proper care. She refused and said I just needed a anxiety pill and I needed to calm myself down. The arguing continued as she told me she had a lot going on in her life and did not need this right now and that if I kept talking "she would say something she would regret!" . My husband arrived with my children and she immediately changed her tune and got quiet. He said he heard everything out in the hall and was flabbergasted that a doctor would speak to a patient in this manner. He said he wanted me transferred immediately to Rapid City and she said she refused to do so and that I just needed to calm down and take an anxiety pill. She said she would tell insurance to not cover the ambulance ride to the other hospital and would slap us with a $10,000 bill.
My husband demanded I be released into his care, they pulled my IV and the doctor stormed out. He transported me to Rapid City, a 2 hours drive, pulling over every 10 to 15 minutes for me to throw up on the side of the road, I was having hallucinations from the morphine and horrible allergic reactions the entire way. I had to be carried into the hospital in Rapid City as at this point I had collapsed completely. Within minutes I was given a CT Scan, Chest Xray, Ultrasound, EKG, Blood Test, Urine Analysis, seen by a neurologist, radiologist and a cardiologist. They discovered I had 2 of my ribs completely separated.

Juneau's Michael Cesar was a great catcher in high school, but he's turning out to be even better in college.
The freshman has converted 132 of 133 defensive chances and thrown out a team-high five base runners for Pacific Lutheran University, a NCAA D3 program in Tacoma, Washington.
He's emerged as the team's No. 1 option behind the plate. He has started 22 of 29 games, with some coming at DH.
Cesar, of Juneau-Douglas High fame, has also been terrific with the bat as he ranks second on the team with two home runs and third with 17 RBIs.
At least six of his RBIs have either tied the game or given PLU the lead.
He's batting .239 on 22-for-92 hitting and owns a .324 on-base percentage.
Cesar was last year's Gatorade Alaska Player of the Year as a senior in high school.

Gordon Food Service Mourns the Passing of John Gordon
John Gordon, Sr., Vice Chairman Emeritus of Gordon Food Service, passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2019, at home, following a courageous battle with Alzheimer's. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Nancy, son John, Jr. (Amy) and daughter Sue Rollo, seven grandchildren: David, Katie, and Will Gordon; Michael, Melissa, Nicole, and Jennifer Rollo; and one great-grandson, Mateo Rollo. John is also survived by his sister Lois (Bill) Lanning, and sisters-in-law Beth and Dottie Gordon, Pam Schmidt, and Marge McGehee. John was preceded by his brothers, Paul (d. 2008) and Phil (d. 2013).
For more than 65 years, John served as a strong and caring leader of his family's business, passionately committed to the needs and interests of its customers and employees. Working in close partnership with his brother, Paul Gordon, they were instrumental in pioneering innovations that transformed their family's small, regional grocery supplier into a multi-billion dollar, multi-national leader in foodservice distribution, with more than 20,000 employees across the U.S. and Canada. John's unwavering commitment to serving his family's business remained a central part of his life into his 90s, as he continued to come into his office almost daily.
Born April 29, 1928, the third son of Ben and Ruth Gordon, John's passion for boating and his reputation as a sailor were established in his youth, an early display of the joyful energy that would characterize his life. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Following college and service in the U.S. Army, John joined Gordon Food Service in 1953, beginning his hands-on immersion in virtually every aspect of the business, including sales, purchasing, and operations. He was named the company's Secretary and Treasurer in 1965, and went on to champion the company's pioneering Employee Profit Sharing Plan. John became Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1991. Without the decades of powerful, visionary leadership provided in partnership with his brother Paul, the company would not have achieved its remarkable record of growth and industry-changing innovations.
Dave Gray, a member of the company's Board of Directors, noted, "John Gordon's leadership over six decades left his mark on our company, our industry and our community in so many different ways. He taught us all how to be fair but firm and above all, to appreciate the gifts that God has given us. John loved the people of Gordon Food Service and never missed the opportunity to say thank you for their service. It is now our turn to say thank you to John for the wonderful business he has entrusted to our care."
In addition to the love and respect of his family, friends, and the people of Gordon Food Service, John was recognized for his business achievements with the Ernst & Young West Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2004. He also proudly served on the board of the Porter Hills Foundation and the Alma College President's Advisory Council. John also served as a deacon and an elder of Eastminster Presbyterian Church.
John humbly and devoutly believed that God's grace was his greatest reward and held his faith most precious, followed closely by his deep love for his immediate and extended family, including the people of Gordon Food Service. Together they now celebrate his life and lasting impact on so many—and the greater reward that awaits him.

    ///
    /// <returns>User Name</returns>
    public override string ToString( ) { return this.UserName; }

    private string Get( string fromField ) {
        return RegistrationTables.UsersTable == null ? "USER TABLE EMPTY" :
            RegistrationEntries.Get<string>( RegistrationTables.UsersTable, "User_ID", this.UserID, fromField );
    }

    private void Set( string toField, string value ) {
        if ( RegistrationTables.UsersTable == null )
            return;
        RegistrationEntries.Set( RegistrationTables.UsersTable, "User_ID", this.UserID, toField, value );
    }
}

Now I also have a ComboBox, the datasource of which I am setting to a list of users :
this.cbxUsers.SetBinding( ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding( ) { Source = RegistrationTables.GetUsers( this.SystemID ) } );

public static List<RegistrationEntries.User> GetUsers( string SystemID ) {
        return RegistrationTables.SystemUsersTable == null ? null :
            RegistrationTables.SystemUsersTable.AsEnumerable(
            ).Where( Row => Row.RowState != DataRowState.Deleted && Row.Field<string>( "Computer_ID" ) == SystemID
            ).Select( ( Row ) => new RegistrationEntries.User( Row.Field<string>( "User_ID" ) )
            ).OrderBy( User => User.UserName ).ToList( );
}

Within the control containing this combobox I have a series of text boxes, which display the user information. The manner in which it is currently being done has not yet been tested, but I know it will work :
this.cbxUsers.SelectionChanged += ( cbxS, cbxE ) => {
    RegistrationEntries.User User = ( cbxS as ComboBox ).SelectedValue as RegistrationEntries.User;
    this.tbxBuyerName.Text = User.UserName;
    this.tbxBuyerEmail.Text = User.UserPhone;
    this.tbxBuyerPhone.Text = User.UserPhone;
    this.tbxBuyerCompany.Text = User.UserCompany;
};

However, what would be ideal is for me to be able to implement some method of two-way binding each text box to the different properties of the SelectedValue of the ComboBox which contains the users such that each time a new user is selected from the combobox, then the text boxes will be populated with the relevant values, and each time one of the text boxes is changed, then the user will have their respective value updated.
Is this possible? Is this even reasonable? If not, is there some simpler alternative which I've overlooked?

A: Create a class to contain your Users and the CurrentUser like this:
public class UsersViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private User _currentUser = null;

    public UsersViewModel(IEnumerable<User> users)
    {
        this.Users = new ObservableCollection<User>(users);
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    public User CurrentUser
    {
        get
        {
            return this._currentUser;
        }

        set
        {
            this._currentUser = value;
            this.OnPropertyChanged("CurrentUser");
        }
    }

    public ObservableCollection<User> Users { get; protected set; }

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

Create some Xaml that looks like this:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <ComboBox Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Users}" SelectedValue="{Binding Path=CurrentUser, Mode=TwoWay}" DisplayMemberPath="UserName" />

        UserName
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding Path=CurrentUser.UserName, Mode=TwoWay}" />

        Email
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Text="{Binding Path=CurrentUser.UserEmail, Mode=TwoWay}" />

        Phone
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" Text="{Binding Path=CurrentUser.UserPhone, Mode=TwoWay}" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Then set the DataContext of your Window or UserControl to a instance of UsersViewModel.


Often during the holiday season we have to deal with smaller teams and big workloads. However, smaller teams do not necessarily mean reduced productivity.
With the help of your service desk, it will be easy to keep the same level of efficiency and performance, and this, without reducing your service level agreements (SLA).
Several service desk best practices can help you keep a superior level of quality.
Excellent planning before the holidays will greatly help you avoid complications during the holiday season. To avoid escalations, validate with your resources beforehand that there are no remaining tickets unanswered or unresolved. Communicate with your end-users and keep informing them of the evolution of their ticket even during the holidays. Properly plan the number of personnel you'll need based on the number of end-user available and business hours that are reduced during the holiday season. Make sure that the team members available during this period are all assigned to any ticket that may occur. That way, no ticket will remain unanswered over the holiday period, and you'll have a fresh start to the New Year with no bad surprises.
Optimising your automation before the holiday break will avoid you all sorts of inconvenience. With a good resource assignment of tickets and a rapid response to end-users, you will greatly enhance your customer relationship.
Your service desk solution should be equipped with an interface that allows you to post messages on the user portal. You can then share important messages with your end-users, for example, tickets that will only be processed after the holiday celebrations or your business hour closures. You may also send an e-mail to customers informing them that the knowledge base is available to them and that they can always use the frequently asked questions section (FAQ) to find quick solutions to several request.
Establish a list of priority tickets and assign them to the right groups or queues created especially for this period, will allow a better overview of the tickets. Tickets that have been pre-set as less urgent can be dealt with when the entire team is back from the holidays, on the other hand, the pre-defined high priority tickets will have the appropriate resolution.
Your service desk knowledge base will be a valuable asset when dealing with fewer personnel. Tickets data and analysis, solutions, inventories, responses and automation, will all be an immense help. Regardless of the available resources, your support team should promptly assist the customer and maintain its performance and productivity, all of this without affecting operating costs and your service level agreement (SLAs).Your CMDB is in place to help you achieve that.
Make sure that the FAQ section is up-to-date and aligned with your knowledge base, so it includes the best possible answers for your end-users.
Mobility will also play an important role with customer support during the holiday season. Having immediate access to the portal, no matter where you are, will greatly facilitate the request handling logistics. Access to the portal on mobile devices such as tablets, will make requests, and especially the treatment of them, much more effective and will significantly increase your customer satisfaction by decreasing the aggravating triggers.
Use all the tools available with your service desk management solution to alleviate your task. Performance and data reports built in your application will help you analyse ticket history and patterns thus allowing you to identify irritants from previous years and implement strategies to maximise management needs and workflows.
The motto to support your users during the holiday seasons is: proper preparation prevents poor performance. Proper management of your resources, comprehensive planning of end-user expectations, automation process (email response), continuous communication between you and your end-users and a top utilization of your service desk tools will allow you to enjoy the holidays hassle free.
Remember you are not alone, rely on the strength of your team members and support from your service desk expert is always available to help you with all urgent requests.

Film by Molly TempletonPosted on 02/13/2014
Though only three of them are actually dark, this year's crop of Oscar-nominated live-action shorts (now playing at Bijou Metro feels disproportionately heavy. There's one bit of likable fluff (the Finnish "Do I Have to Take Care of Everything?") involving a flustered family in a morning rush; there's also a bit of humor in Mark Gill's "The Voorman Problem," which stars Martin Freeman as a doctor asked to examine a prisoner who claims he's a god. The god, actually; Voorman (an excellent, slippery Tom Hollander) claims to be keeping the whole world going and offers to get rid of Belgium to prove his claims. Sleek and deft and very, very British, "The Voorman Problem" — which is based on an excerpt from David Mitchell's novel number9dream — is the charmer of the bunch.
Denmark's "Helium" aims to hit a couple of different emotional buttons, but never quite finds its mark. The story of a janitor and the sick little boy he befriends is dotted with surprisingly lovely effects, and its last scene offers a nice, gentle twist, but the concept feels too familiar and too forcefully sweet-sad.
There's no other way to put it: "That Wasn't Me," by Spanish director Esteban Crespo, is agonizing viewing, and not just because of the atrocities Crespo so effectively captures onscreen. The story of two Spanish aid workers of some sort who go to an unnamed African country in an attempt to help child soldiers, "That Wasn't Me" leaks good intentions but is a deeply troubling bundle of stereotypes. If Crespo wanted to tell a story about the horrible experiences of child soldiers, he might have done so without weaving in a tired white-savior storyline.
The absolute standout of the live-action shorts is the awkwardly titled "Just Before Losing Everything," from French director Xavier Legrand. Taut, simple and impossibly tense, Legrand's film follows Miriam (Léa Drucker) as she collects her two children and tries to work out how to escape her abusive husband. Though the film is just 30 minutes long, Legrand delicately lets the pieces fall into place slowly, gradually, in what feels almost like real-time. Miriam takes the kids to her job at a giant supermarket, where colleagues and superiors are variously helpful, baffled and cruel; the story of what actually happened to her comes out in an offhand line from her son, and in the bruises everyone sees but no one mentions. Whether it wins the Oscar or not, "Just Before Losing Everything" is a powerful debut for Legrand, who hopefully has features in his future.
The quirky, slightly spooky Japanese "Possessions" follows a handyman who has a peculiar run-in with the cast-off items in a forest shrine. "Room on the Broom," based on the children's book by Julia Donaldson, takes a stately pace through an unabashedly endearing story dotted with celebrity voices.
Daniel Sousa's gorgeous, shadowy, wordless "Feral" follows a wild boy as he's taken from his woodland home into a city, where clothing and cruel children are much harder to live with than wolves and wind. "Feral" is full of dark, stylized, fairy tale-like images.
But I keep coming back to "Mr. Hublot," which takes place in a gloriously detailed steampunky future, where even flowers are made from scrap metal (and have settings for night and day). Mr. Hublot is a strange character with more than a touch of OCD; he spends his days straightening his picture frames and doing something incomprehensible with computer-like number machines. Across the street, a little robot dog barks and shivers. When an incident compels Mr. Hublot to force himself outside, the little dog comes into his life — and doesn't stay little for long. The sweetness of the film's story is balanced by the precisely imagined world, which I wanted more time to explore.

(initial capital letter) any of the five periods of republican government in France.Compare First Republic, Second Republic, Third Republic, Fourth Republic, Fifth Republic.
From the founding of the Republic until 1967, many states defined marriage as a relationship between two people of the same race.
But the so-called parliament of the self-declared Luhansk republic decided to go one better.
And it was even worse for the government of the Republic to be outwitted in diplomacy than beaten in the field.
No member of the old royal families may become president of the republic.
The same might be said, of the republic of the United States of America.
A form of government in which power is explicitly vested in the people, who in turn exercise their power through elected representatives. Today, the terms republic and democracy are virtually interchangeable, but historically the two differed. Democracy implied direct rule by the people, all of whom were equal, whereas republic implied a system of government in which the will of the people was mediated by representatives, who might be wiser and better educated than the average person. In the early American republic, for example, the requirement that voters own property and the establishment of institutions such as the Electoral College were intended to cushion the government from the direct expression of the popular will.


most powerful economy out of a list of the world's 21 most powerful economies in 2030, according to a report published by global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The report said that emerging markets will start to dominate rankings of the world's top economies by 2030.
The spot comes based on the country's expected global gross domestic product (GDP) by purchasing power parity (PPP), a macroeconomic analysis used to determine the economic productivity and standards of living between countries across time.
The report placed Egypt in 19th place, with a projected GDP of $2.049 trillion. It was directly preceded by Canada, in 18th place, with $2.141 trillion and Spain with $2.159 trillion.
The report said that emerging markets such as India and Brazil are set to challenge the economic dominance of the US and China.
The top five economies in 2030 according to the report are: China, with a projected GDP of $38.008 trillion, the US ($23.475 trillion), India ($19.511 trillion), Japan ($5.606 trillion) and Indonesia ($5.424 trillion).
Egypt embarked on an ambitious economic reform program in 2014 to revive its economy, battered by years of political unrest.
Though the program is causing social pressures in the short term, it is said to place Egypt on the right path for economic growth.

Lime is applying for permits to bring its e-scooters to Philadelphia's streets.
Philadelphia loves the idea of scooting around on the colorful electrically powered two-wheelers that startups like Lime are sending out on city streets around the world.
But at a city hearing on Wednesday, local officials said e-scooter enthusiasts may want to slow their roll.
Four people have died in scooter crashes in the U.S. over the past year, compared to just two using bike share programs since they started nine years ago, said Chris Pulchasky, director of policy and strategic initiatives at the Mayor's Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability (OTIS).
Consumer Reports reported earlier this month that about 1,500 people have been injured in e-scooter crashes in the U.S. since 2017. The "relatively high risk of crashes" points to a need for more study before the trim rides are made street legal in the city, he said.
The cautionary tone stood in contrast to the optimistic projections of industry representatives, transportation advocates and some City Council members who say they want to see dockless electric scooters on the city's streets by summer.
"This is a type of transportation that we should be moving forward with … especially based on the fact that it will reduce people's use of cars as a mode of transportation," Councilman Derek Green said at a council hearing Wednesday.
Representatives of Lime, Bird, and Spin, private companies that together rent scooters in more than 80 cities, descended on City Council chambers with their devices and plenty of talking points. They want the city to create rules governing scooter fleets and support proposed state legislation that would legalize them, and are lobbying in the city to get those results, city disclosures show.
The scooter companies tried on Wednesday to paint scooters as urgently needed to address Philadelphia's transit equity and traffic-safety problems.
Shari Shapiro, government relations official for Lime, said her company would put scooters in neighborhoods not served by public transit or Indego, the city's bike share program, which requires users to go to fixed stations to check out bikes. She said Lime's ridership includes proportionally more women and people of color than traditional bike share.
The companies noted a finding from Portland that 34 percent of local users took e-scooters as an alternative to a car, taxi, or ride-hail, reducing congestion and the dangers posed by traffic.
The arrival of e-scooters has been eagerly anticipated by many residents, as evidenced by a flurry of excitement last fall when it momentarily (and falsely) appeared that Lime was starting operations in the city.
Council members Kenyatta Johnson and Mark Squilla also said they want to see the city set up a scooter program in the near future.
Puchalsky said the city wants to work out rules for dockless bike-share companies and learn from the rollout of those programs before moving on to scooters. OTIS will put out proposed dockless bike regulations in the next month or two, he said.
Dr. Cheryl Bettigole, director of the city's Department of Public Health's Division of Disease and Injury Prevention, echoed his safety concerns.
She said the Portland study found a much higher rate of injuries per mile traveled for e-scooters than for motorcycles and bike-share.
The scooter companies disputed the safety concerns. Paul White, a Bird representative, said e-scooters are no more dangerous than bicycles. Portland officials concluded from the study of its programs that the scooters "do not pose a disproportionate risk," White said.
Shapiro said Lime had redesigned its scooters with added safety measures, making them heavier, with a lower center of gravity, wider footboards, larger tires and a screen to remind users to wear helmets.
The council also heard from the nonprofit Clean Air Council, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, a University of Pennsylvania transportation professor, and Bikemore, an advocacy group in Baltimore, which launched an e-scooter pilot six months ago.
These transportation advocacy groups endorsed allowing e-scooters in Philadelphia. The scooters offer a fun, convenient and low cost car-alternative for people who aren't excited about biking, making them a good way to improve mobility for a wide range of residents, they argued.
Megan Ryerson, a professor and founder of the Center for Safe Mobility at Penn, said cities with scooters have experienced reductions in driving and demand for ride-hailing operations like Uber. Adding scooters to the road increases drivers' awareness of all non-car entities on the road, boosts support for bike lanes, and increases safety overall, she said.
At the same time, speakers said the city must take steps to ensure a smooth ride for the trim devices. For example, companies should be required to share data on scooter use to ensure equity goals are being met. The scooter companies also must be held accountable for broken or abandoned scooters to ensure they don't block sidewalks or cause blight, they said.
Nick Zuwiala-Rogers of the Clean Air Council said the companies should be required to dispose of their used batteries and scooters in a sustainable manner, and should hire full-time local staff to recharge and repair vehicles rather than depending on gig workers.
Some speakers saw the scooter industry as an opportunity to generate income that would go back into city streets.
The small per-ride fee the city would earn if scooters were legalized should go to the Streets Department to patch potholes and improve roads, these speakers suggested. Without fixes, scooters could make Philadelphia even more dangerous, they said.
Oren Eisenberg, a Fishtown resident and bike advocate, rode e-scooters in California. That experience makes him afraid for scooter riders navigating the bumps and ditches of local streets, he said.
Council passed a bill to regulate dockless bikes and scooters last June and state legislation legalizing the scooters was introduced this week.


Breast augmentation procedures have gained considerable popularity among women in the United States mainly on account of the remarkable aesthetic results that they offer. Moreover, with advancements in technology the procedures have become safer and much more effective. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) recently studied the popularity of diverse cosmetic surgery procedures over the last 17 years. Interestingly, an impressive hike of 210% was noted in the number of breast augmentation procedures when considering the figures for 1997.
With superior techniques available, breast surgery procedures now involve minimal complication or risk; women can recover quickly within minimal downtime. In their present busy life, women would be glad to undergo aesthetic procedures that can deliver them results in the least possible time, letting them quickly get back to their normal activities.
In the case of breast implants used for augmentation of the breasts, there are a number of choices including FDA-approved saline, silicone and gummy bear implants with unique features. Women can choose the most appropriate implant and benefit from the best results. Breast enhancement can also be done using the fat transfer method, in which the patient's own fat extracted via liposuction is injected into the breasts to increase the volume naturally.
Now, reputable plastic surgery practices in the United States offer the service of skilled and experienced surgeons and minimally invasive procedures. In New York for instance, there are select plastic surgery centers that offer convenient virtual consultation to patients to determine whether they are candidates for the procedure before actually making the practice visit.
Mommy makeovers are much sought after by women looking to restore their pre-pregnancy figure and breast enhancement is included in this makeover. In the past few years, a number of celebrities have undergone breast augmentation procedures. These are either standalone or provided along with other aesthetic procedures to boost their feminine looks as well as their career prospects. Many celebrities who have opted for breast augmentation have shared their experience in public, which is sure to be a great inspiration for women considering such procedures.


The essence of enjoying people for their uniqueness. To encourage respect and appreciation for people and their intrinsic value. For when intellectual criticism needs to be transformed into acceptance of others, their individual and differing expressions. Allows a sweetness and openness to come into interactions with others rather than judgmental attitudes.
Our expanding consciousness can make the mind strong and able to make clear discernments. However when relating to people a basic respect for each Soul and its journey is a solid premise for positive exchanges. Being able to do mental gymnastics is not a sign of expanded consciousness, just as not being intellectually eloquent is not a sign that a person hasn't developed their mind or their spiritual being. Arrogance can lead to spiritual inertia. If we believe we are better than anyone else we live in a self made illusion.
Listening to the heart of another it is easy to understand, To feel how life has touched them and left a silken impression on their being, intimate and unique.
Helpful for bridging communication and mutual respect problems in relationships.
For feelings of intellectual superiority.
To deal with the mind that is habituated in dissecting people and their ideas and find flaws, rather than keeping a positive outlook which discriminates and weighs ideas up without a negative slant.
Also for the mentality which makes hasty judgements of people as fools, or weak minded because these people are not able to "cross swords" as equals with them intellectually.
Allows the loving nature of a person to come to the fore and be open to another personâ€┢s perspectives, conceiving of ideas, and way of thinking.

MS-13: How a deadly gang gained strength in the DC area Local News
The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that Edgar Oswaldo Blanco Torres, 25; Jose Martir Larios Espenal, 21; Samuel Enrique Villalobos Sanchez, 19; Dimas Misael Canales Santos, 27; and Keyri Sujey Portillo Gonzalez, 19, have all been indicted by a federal grand jury. Each has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering and kidnapping resulting in death.
The charges come from the death of Christian Alexander Sosa Rivas, 21, whose body was discovered along the Potomac River in Dumfries, Virginia, in January. The Justice Department said in a statement that he was killed Jan. 1 in a Dumfries park.
All five face maximum sentences of death or life in prison on the murder and kidnapping charges, and 10 years on the conspiracy counts.
The Justice Department said in the statement that the five believed Sosa Rivas was a member of a rival gang who was claiming to be an MS-13 member, and the defendants' purpose was "gaining entrance to and maintaining and increasing position in MS-13, which is an enterprise engaged in racketeering activity."
The five, along with two juveniles and another adult, were charged with various state charges in Sosa Rivas' death.
Police have also said Sosa Rivas' killing is connected to that of 15-year-old Damaris Reyes Rivas, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, whose body was found in a Springfield, Virginia, industrial park in February.

PERIOD. was started by a group of young activists united by the belief that menstrual care is a basic right. They seek to elevate the topic of periods through education, advocacy and events hosted by chapter volunteers across the world to package and distribute period products through charitable partnerships.
We're fueled by the movement PERIOD. has created to raise awareness about period poverty while simultaneously eliminating taboos and drawing passionate advocacy among the rising generation. Their large-scale packing events have an incredible synergy that not only elevate periods to a new level of cool, but inspire supporters to continue doing good within the community.
Leading our U.S. donation efforts, Period.org distributes monthly donations of Saalt Cups to their network of 100+ domestic organizations providing period care and menstrual health education to those in need.


Monday 17th September saw Tyne Triathlon's pre-winter build Critical Swim Speed (CSS) test.
Many people will be asking, what is CSS, and what does it have to do with me?
The short answer to this is knowing your CSS and using to appropriately pace swim sessions will make you a faster swimmer. This is done by scaling various sessions/intervals based on CSS (much like a threshold pace in running, or FTP in cycling).
The more in depth answer is that CSS is the pace that a swimmer could hold over a 1500 time trial (yards or metres) as this gives a good approximation of lactate threshold speed. Obviously this is not an easy test to perform; an evenly paced, all out 1500 time trial is possibly one of the hardest challenges in pool swimming for even the most experienced swimmer. In order to make this easier and therefore a more repeatable method for assessing swimmers, the 400/200 time trial method is used. The key to a 'good' result is to evenly split both the 400 and the 200, with the results being as closely matched per 100 as possible. This is why in some cases faster time trial times lead to a slower result; the efforts may have been less well paced relative to one another.
Thankfully we don't have to work out how to then plan our training based on CSS results as we have Margarita to do this for us, however if you wish to know more about CSS there is a wealth of information online.
Remember that the CSS test isn't perfect, if times seem to easy, the pace can gradually be increased provided it remains sustainable. Likewise if it is too hard the pace can be gradually reduced.


I haven't travelled out of Abuja in a while, and now that I think about it I wonder why. I think it may be for a number of reasons. For the most part of five years, I've been pregnant, rearing kids and changing jobs. Travelling never was a priority, I had created a comfort zone which nothing must disrupt.
Now, two of my kids are teenagers who feel they are so cool, they know it all and I don't. I also have a toddler who asks me so many questions that when I'm done answering them all, I'm breathless and drained. Not to mention, her 2-year-old brother who loves to repeat anything she says and he expects his 'own' answer as well. So I end up giving the same answer twice!
Anyway, they all said they were bored staying in the same place year in year out. They all wanted to spend Christmas with their grandparents in Warri.
I just discovered that packing for five kids is so cumbersome. It's at times like this that I wonder if having kids 'Angelina Jolie style' was a wise idea. I spent the whole night of 22nd packing clothes for warm and cool weather, packing undies, vests and shoes. I just weaned my 2-year-old, Harel off diapers and so I had to pack extra clothes just in case he soiled himself.
Then I had to pack onions, tomatoes, peppers, tatashe, spring onions and all those nice veggies you find in the north for my folks down south. The car was stuffed with luggage.
We had two errands to run before we set off. I had forgotten some of my shopping at the market on December 21. The next day was a Sunday, markets weren't open. I was hoping that by Monday I'd trace where I misplaced it hoping that the finder was honest enough to keep them for me. I found it and raced back home so I wouldn't disturb our travel schedule. There's this bridge just before the road to my house. I wasn't expecting anyone to be there, so I stepped on the throttle. Lo and behold olopa (policemen) had mounted a checkpoint there and stopped me.
"So you be woman sef, na im you dey drive like man?!!" the policeman screamed at me.
"Do you know you would have killed me?! Oya clear here!" the officer ordered.
"Officer, please I'm late for my trip. But I wasn't expecting anyone to be standing in the middle of the road now?" I tried to explain but he wasn't having any of it. To this officer who bore "Monday" on his name tag, he had found the perfect mugu to make his 'Christmas money' from. He got into my car and said we should drive to the station. I played the I'm-a-mother card but all the charm I turned on didn't work and I certainly had no bribe for Officer Monday. I had spent all my money on shopping.
"Show me your particulars." he ordered. Wahala! I couldn't even remember the last time I saw those. I only used that car to run errands within the town, so I don't bother with the papers. Then he asked for my driver's license. I opened my purse and pulled it out. That one was expired. I pulled out the valid one and gave to him. He seized it and said i should remain there.
This officer was really beginning to tick me off and if I remained there we certainly wouldn't make that trip today. So I did the first thing which came to my head. I sped off and left him with my license.
As I looked through the rear view mirror, I saw Officer Monday waving my driver's license at me; a wicked reminder that I could run but not hide.
"So what do we do?" I asked. "We go back to them." he replied.
Finally after hours of pleading, we were booked and fined. We set off for Warri at 2pm.
We got to Warri at 10pm. What a surprise we gave them! My Mum was screaming in excitement. My Dad was so happy. My brother, Drew was in town and he's my pal…besties in crime…hahaha!! First full house in many years. They were all gushing at how much the kids had grown.
Just like many other years, Mum had her huge Christmas tree set up with an angel at the top. Then it had the most beautiful ornaments ever…of tiny santas, snowflakes, drums, disco balls, embellished balls and every exotic ornament you could think of.
My sister joined us from Lagos on Christmas morning; and we ate, laughed and had fun. After the new year, everyone said their emotional goodbyes and left one by one. My family was the last to leave because my kids wanted to spend the whole holiday with their grandparents.
Here's why: grandparents basically spoil their grandchildren. My mum is a stylish, petite British size 8 woman. So my 13-year-old daughter loves to raid her wardrobe and my mum is simply delighted she has a grand-daughter that adores her sense of fashion. While, my own is to look at them with envy; wishing my fat size British 18 body could magically shrink *sad face* My teenage son also went shopping at two different times. First, Drew took him shopping, then his grandpa took him shopping for jersey tops. While Grandpa took the rest three younger ones out nearly every day to raid fast food joints.
My experience from here is not too pleasant and goes further to prove that going on a road in Nigeria is UTTER MADNESS. On Saturday night, January 11, hubby stopped to fill his car tank somewhere in Oghara, Delta State, in preparation for the trip the next day.
The summary of the story is that the fuel was bad. It refused to burn, the car refused to fire and the car exhaust pipe was shooting furiously. We bought fuel injector cleaners, which we thought would solve the problem. At Ekpoma, just after the university, the car broke down finally. The petrol tank had to be dropped.
You needed to have seen the quality of the petrol after it was drained from the tank. It was black and greasy. It looked like it was mixed with thick, dirty engine oil. By now, two of the engine nozzles were blocked, the plugs were soaked and the injector filter had been compromised.
It turns out, the river bank was a makeshift shrine for the priestess and another priest who sat nearby on a chair with a canopy above his head as shade. I saw two or three beautiful girls in their 20s and well dressed consulting the Baba. We left them to their business and flung the waste into another bush far away from them.
At Ekpoma, the mechanic was able to fix the problems to an extent. We managed the car to Auchi where we spent the night.
Hubby wanted us to set off that early so he could make it on time to work, but again the car broke down on the highway and it wasn't yet daybreak . Hubby, Caleb and I came out in the chilly morning cold and pushed our vehicle. Now pushing a saloon car is easy. But pushing a jeep that's laden with heavy luggage up a hill is a different ball game. I gave silent thanks to heaven when a villager who was on his way to his farm joined in pushing our vehicle to the nearest village in Ukpilla (also spelt 'Okpella') where the famous cement factory in Edo state is. The good Samaritan also helped us to get a mechanic to fix our vehicle.
It was at Ukpilla village that I started drafting this story. The villagers were kind. A woman gave us hot water. We had dry cocoa and milk in the car, so we brought out our mugs and made hot cocoa drinks to warm us up. We took that with bread and akara fried by the roadside.
I was wearing flip-flops, no makeup with unkempt hair. I set up my laptop, taking pictures and writing while the mechanics tried to make the car move again. The alternator belt had cut. Spark plugs were changed and engine nozzles flushed. Then we left. Less than an hour later, the car broke down at Okene, Kogi State…just below another hill!!
I went ballistic! What kind of suffering was this? All because of our corrupt Nigerian system! Who adulterated this fuel and supplied it to the filling station? The fuel station, Amenaghawon Oil was brand new. It was its first day of business and they even gave hubby a tee-shirt gift as he was one of their first customers. Did they sell the bad fuel on purpose or were they unaware that their petroleum suppliers had sabotaged their business integrity? All these questions were on my mind as we made that trek uphill; a second tedious exercise in one morning.
I arrived Abuja deadbeat. I couldn't even open my laptop to complete or post the story.
So Pweebers, that's why I couldn't post much yesterday or the day before. I really pray the situation in Nigeria improves. As it is, no form of transport in Nigeria is safe or totally pleasant…whether by air or by road.
I had a wonderful time in Warri with my loved ones, but it's good to be back home.
The village in Ukpilla, where the car broke down. Mechanics are fixing it.
Hello Pweebers: Blogging at Ukpilla village. I needed that bottle of malt after pushing that jeep uphill.
Aww Love you Peace…..you so adventurous……and Caleb is handsome, I wish he was a bit older wink!
Love you more, Melisa. Hehehe…Caleb will hear.
Experience is the best teacher! Cool.
Kpele! Doooooh, Dooooooooh, kpe oh! Sorry oh! Na so country be. February 2012, I bought black market petrol in Port Harcourt into my Ford Explorer. Traveling at night through Ogoni road from Port Harcourt to village in Akwa Ibom, the car stalled in Abak at about 8pm. Till date, I am still suffering the effect of the bad 20 liters petrol I bought that day. Directly and indirectly, I have spent over N500k to date to keep the car functional. But the smooth, sweet and powerful drive of the car has never been the same again. Only God can save Nigeria from CORRUPTION that is the cancer that has generated multiple symptoms that includes adulteration of petroleum by products. Thank God you still made it home in one piece!
Thank you, dear brother. It's a nasty experience no one should go through.


The first illustrated plus size pin up girl.
Before we talk about the curvy, swervy, plus-size-bikini-clad Hilda, the stage is going to be set with a little history of the pin up girl. I'll take you back in time now, with a short story about a few of the most talented and popular Pin Up illustrators in American history.
We'll begin with the prolific Earl Christy, who's porcelain-doll-like illustrations appeared on everything from Hollywood magazine covers and commercial advertisements to sheet music and postcards. His work can be found going back as early as 1906. His movie posters and covers he painted for "Photoplay" and other Hollywood magazines are now valuable collector items.
Earl Moran's artistic genius appeared on everything from Sears and Roebuck catalogs to Life magazine and millions of Brown and Bigelow Calendars. How he's remembered most is through his pin ups. Moran's stunningly rendered pastel "visions" offer more situational variety than any other major illustrator. Of his most enduring legacies are his 1940s paintings of a breathtaking young model named Norma Jean Baker. He painted more images of her than any other artist.
Rolf Armstrong was another famous Brown and Bigelow calendar artist. After arriving home from a trip to France in 1919, he opened a studio in Greenwich Village where he painted the Ziegfeld Folly girls. Later, while in Hollywood, all the great stars of the era posed for him. Popular actresses like Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn were all painted by him. He even talked Boris Karloff into posing for him on the set of the original "Frankenstein".
Armstrong's pastel pin ups of his idealized, scantily clad,"girl next door" have a distinctive, luminous and shimmering quality to them. His paintings of healthy, nubile young women are some of the most memorable of all the famous illustrators. He was truly a man of rarefied talent.
The Pin Up finally exploded into the popular culture with Esquire Magazine's introduction of s"Petty Girl" in 1933. Slender, flirtatious and extremely shapely, the Petty Girl became an American institution, capturing our hearts and minds for more than twenty years. From 1933 to 1956, her images were seen in tens of millions of places; every where from magazines and billboards to playing cards and match books, even aircraft "nose art" in WWII. In 1950, she was made into a movie starring Robert Cummings and Elsa Lanchester.
No pin up gallery is complete without displaying the breathtaking talent of Gil Elvgren. His enchanting, dreamy renderings of the nubile female form cannot be eclipsed in genius by any other artist. He was sublimely talented! A student of the Minneapolis Art Institute, he liked to paint girls who were new to the modeling business. He believed the ideal pin up was a girl with a fifteen year old face on a twenty year old body, so he combined the two. During the forty two years spanning 1930-1972, he produced over five hundred paintings of beautiful young women, nearly all painted on oil and canvas. Today, his fully developed, finished works of art are second only in value to the paintings of Alberto Vargas.
The most prolific and famous glamor illustrator of all time is Alberto Vargas. The son of Max Vargas, a famous and talented photographer in his own right, Alberto learned to airbrush from his father before he was a teen. Most don't realize he was actually born in Peru, and didn't come to the US until 1916. He arrived on Ellis Island via Europe, where he had been since 1911. While there, he had studied in both Geneva and Zurich, and by the time had made his way here, he was already a gifted talent coming into bloom. Within three years he had hung his own shingle and was painting store fronts and window displays for New York City merchants.

Driving Texas' 100-year-old Bankhead Highway with its savior and biggest fan, author Dan Smith
Established in 1916, 'The Broadway of America' once stretched from Washington, D.C., to San Diego, California
By Michael Hill

Anyone with a keen eye traveling from Texarkana to El Paso, Texas, may be drawn to the faded blacktop and abandoned concrete bridges that litter the landscape. While they might look like random remnants of the road, these pieces are part of something greater: a ribbon of highway that once stretched from coast to coast. The century-old Bankhead Highway has an interesting history—and an uncertain future.
Devised in 1916 with an origin at Mile Marker Zero in Washington, D.C., the Bankhead Highway would snake its way across the southern half of the lower 48 states, terminating in San Diego, California. This southern route allowed for all-season, all-weather travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
The Bankhead also ushered in a new type of economy targeted toward travelers. An economic windfall followed the road's construction as cafes and gas stations sprouted up along the route. Commerce and community continued to thrive along the highway as the number of people traveling for both business and pleasure increased.

But not long after the road became a reality, it was beaten and battered by political and economic forces. Changes would threaten to confuse the history of the road, diverting and dividing the route into a variety of names and numbers with only a few small sections retaining the original Bankhead moniker. At times it seemed as if the Bankhead was all but lost—until a random encounter brought a savior to portions of the historic highway.
The Broadway of America
Dan Smith, author of Texas Highway No. 1: The Bankhead Highway in Texas, admits that he "literally just stumbled on the Bankhead Highway." Smith, a self-proclaimed "geek," was born and raised in Miami, Florida; he moved to Texas to work for the National Weather Service. In the early '80s, Smith was riding his bike near Fort Worth when a rusted Bankhead Highway sign caught his eye. He began to research the mostly-forgotten road, especially the route's more than 850 miles in Texas—just a portion of the road sometimes referred to as "The Broadway of America."

Smith is not shy when it comes to promoting the Bankhead Highway. His love of the road is immediately apparent with his self-designed Bankhead t-shirt and ballcap. Even his car carries the Bankhead brand with magnetic badges that can be displayed on any metal surface. On the day I meet with Smith, they are stuck on his car doors.
Smith's trunk is a treasure trove of Bankhead paraphernalia, filled with t-shirts, postcards, maps, photos, and even actual pieces of Bankhead pavement. The only thing that rivals his quantity of tangible items is his mind, which is full of Bankhead Highway knowledge and history—all of which he is excited to share with anyone who will listen.

A Bankhead purist
I meet Dan just outside of Weatherford, Texas, early on a Saturday morning in October for a day trip down a section of the Bankhead Highway. We intend to travel west, visiting the towns of Mineral Wells—famous for its healing waters—Palo Pinto, and Strawn on our way to the old oil boom town of Ranger.
This section of the highway in North Central Texas will allow us to travel on miles of vintage blacktop and brick surfaces and traverse a number of original bridges. The route is not hard to find, thanks largely to Bankhead Highway signs erected by Smith. The self-described "Johnny Appleseed of the Bankhead Highway" peddles his signs across the state, and more than 100 signs have been distributed for free—with just one stipulation: "When I give [a sign] away, my only wish is that people put it somewhere people can see it," Smith says.

While certain towns have worked with Smith and welcomed his signs, others have not been as cooperative. Texas has its own Bankhead Highway signs and Smith works closely with property owners and the Texas Historical Commission to ensure the preservation—and help with the identification—of old routes. When paired with Smith's book, the signs create a seamless journey that is easy to navigate. Smith intended his spiral-bound book to be half history and half travel guide. "I wanted to replicate the 1920s guidebooks," Smith says.
Smith considers himself a Bankhead Highway purist and tries to stay true to the original alignment, which rewards travelers with scenic twists and turns under a canopy of trees. It makes for a mellow and picturesque weekend drive.
The Friendship State
As we head west, I am surprised by the amount of original Bankhead Highway pavement still in use today. While the yellow stripes have faded to a charcoal gray, they are still clearly visible. Our route takes us over several bridges, where century-old design and construction still provide travelers with a safe way to cross waterways.

It's not possible to stay true to the highway's original alignment for the entire drive, but when forced to get on Highway 180, we keep an eye out for abandoned segments. Several bridges built in the 1920s are hidden in the overgrowth directly off the road. There were only three types of bridges designed and constructed on the Bankhead Highway, and remnants of two can still be found in Texas.
Once you're familiar with the design of the original road, it's easy to identify. We look for a brick or faded asphalt road with a solid center line sandwiched between dashed lines, and traverse the shoulder of roadway looking for access to a forgotten bridge. Aware that trespassing in Texas can carry a severe penalty, we decide it's best to admire the abandoned stretch from a distance.
Our excursion piques the interest of others and a local ranch cowboy stops to ask us about the road. Smith and the cowboy share an obvious appreciation for Texas, and their conversation is a physical manifestation of its Friendship State nickname.

We venture further west and Smith points out a repurposed segment of the old road. We stop to admire a portion of the Bankhead incorporated into the landscape of a home and wonder if the owners understand the rich history of their driveway, whose pavement was laid a century ago.
As our day comes to a close, we arrive in Eastland County. Here, the Bankhead's blacktop turns into miles of hand-laid red brick, shooting straight into West Texas.
While the historic highway might not yet be as familiar or iconic as Route 66, Smith is trying to do his part to get more tourists interested in traveling the road. Smith has spent a large portion of his life trying to reconnect the broken Bankhead, and his book pieces together the fragments that may have otherwise been lost in plain sight. "I can't tell what is going to happen to the old road," Smith says. "But at least in my book it will be preserved."

Atlanta, Ga. - Fontbonne University softball finally got to play No. 10-ranked Emory University this season. The Eagles came out on top in both games 3-0, dropping the Griffins' season record to 6-8.
In the first game, the UAA champions hit two home runs to score their three points. A two-run shot was hit in the fourth and a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth. Madi Leonard struck out seven in her attempt to take on the Eagles. Danni Glixman and Lindsay Schaefer each hit one double.
fontbonne was blanked in the second game as Emory's Brittany File threw a 10-strikeout no-hitter. Courtney Kedroski walked for the Griffins, taking away File's chance at a perfect game. Caitlin Nappier reached first on an error and stole second. The Glixman sisters connected for the only double play of the game. Schaefer struggled on the mound allowing six hits and six walks.
Fontbonne takes on Piedmont College tomorrow at 11 a.m. Central Time.


Research ICT Africa has developed a new mobile pricing portal with data on pre-paid mobile pricing products collected quaretly from all African operators in all African countries, since January 2011.
The mobile pricing portal aims at increasing price trasparency in the African continent, in order to support users to make informed decisions when select a mobile operators and to compare prices across operators.
It is also a useful instrument for mobile operators since they can compare prices at a country level and across countries. It helps at monitoring regulatory interventions and the effect of those – such as interconnection rates cut and new operators in national markets – on pricing.
The portal is online at the following link.

Q: How to update only selected values in a 2 dimensional list without using for loop? I have a huge matrix with around 80000 rows and 66000 columns. I need to update selected values in each row. These selected values vary from row to row. For example, I might have to update 346th, 446th, 789th and 321th column values for first row and for second row I might have to update 821th, 564th, 101th, 781th column values. I hope you get the situation.
Here, I am simulating the problem using a small matrix.
Suppose I have a 2 dimensional list/matrix.
matrix = [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]]

In the actual problem, I need to update all the rows but here for the sake of simplicity I am considering only 1 row. i.e. 2nd row. I wish to update 1st and 2nd values of 2nd row and keep the rest of the values in 2nd row as they are.
I need to do it without using for loops.
The code I tried is as follows :
index_list = [0,1]
matrix[1] = [ matrix[1][index] + 1 for index in index_list ]
print(matrix)

Here, index_list is the list of selected columns that need to be updated. The output I get is :
[[1, 2, 3], [5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

The output I need / expected output is :
[[1, 2, 3], [5, 6, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

So, the question is, I wish to update only 1sta and 2nd values of second row for above given matrix and keep the rest of the values in 2nd row as it is. And this needs to be done without using for loops because of time constraints. I am trying to use list compression because it is relatively fast. Could you please help with it ?
I forgot to mention the code is in python, and we can use pandas, numpy if required.

A: matrix[1] = [matrix[1][i] + 1 if i in index_list else matrix[1][i] for i in range(len(matrix[1]))]

This solution worked.

A: You need to cover the case where the index is not in the list, preserving those values:
matrix[1] = [ matrix[1][index] + 1 if index in index_list
                                   else matrix[1][index] ]


This example shows how to generate random numbers using random() method of Java Math class.
Use random() static method of Java Math class to generate random number in Java.
It is fairly easy task to generate random numbers between 0 and 100. Since random() method returns a number between 0.0 and 1.0, multiplying it with 100 and casting the result to integer will give us random number between 0 and 100 (where 0 is inclusive while 100 is exclusive).
Since Math.random() returns double value between 0.0 and 1.0, we need to derive a formula so that we can generate random numbers in the specific range.
Let's do that step by step. Suppose you want to generate random numbers between 10 and 20. So minimum number it should generate is 10 and maximum number should be 20.
First of all we need to multiply Math.random() result with the maximum number so that it returns value between 0 to max value (in this case 20) like given below.
The above statement will return us a random number between 0.0 and 19. That is because multiplying 0.0 – 0.99 with 20 and casting the result back to int will give us range of 0 to 19.
Step 1 gives us a random number between 0 and 19. But we want random number starting from 10 not 0. Let's add that number to the result.
Now the number starts from 10 but it goes up to 30. That is because adding 10 to 0-19 will give us 10-29. So let's subtract 10 from 20 before multiplication operation.
Random number generated by above formula gives us range between 10 and 19 (both inclusive). The number range we wanted was between 10 and 20 (both inclusive). So let's add 1 to the equation.
The final result is a random number in the range of 10 to 20.
Final example to generate random number in specific range is given below.
