Chaos and absurdity are the name of the game at The Ruckus Room Stand-Up Show
What's the Ruckus?
by Samantha Connors
provided Ruckus Room
Stand-Up Competition Winners & The Ruckus Room Stand-Up Show
Fri. Jan 20, 9:30 p.m. Woolfe Street Playhouse
One part stand-up, one part improv — the Ruckus Room Stand-Up Show is an outrageous time for both the audience and the performers. It was created when Theatre 99 resident comedians Tim Hoeckel and Jessica Mickey began brainstorming ideas for a consistent stand-up show at the venue. "We were both kind of bored with the standard showcase format," says Mickey. "We wanted to do a show where the comics were having just as much fun as the audience and vice-versa. We knew we wanted to do a showcase with a twist and then figured why does it have to be just one twist?"
Here's how it works: several comedians are asked to prepare a stand-up bit to perform for the audience. When it's their turn, the comics stand on stage and present their act, but midway through the host stops them and chooses a random challenge out of a hat. These challenges can vary — from things like trying to continue their set while wearing headphones with a song on loop to creating an entirely new set on the spot. Tim believes this spin on stand-up enhances the comedic nature of the show, "Comics all react to the challenges in different ways and it actually brings the comic's persona to the forefront." Mickey adds, "Plus, it's kind of selfish: we just like fucking with our friends. The show gives us a formal way to get away with it. It also gets the audience involved. They're not just passively watching a dude drone into the mic."
Audience involvement is pretty much guaranteed at this show. Theatre 99's intimate atmosphere pulls the viewers into the ruckus — and sometimes the challenges even require audience participation. One particular challenge provides audience members with heckles to shout at the performers to which the comic must quickly (and cleverly) respond. Mickey says, "There's a 'go team' vibe to the show, and we include challenges that the audience can be a part of. They get to cheer for the comics and laugh at them messing up without just cringing in their seats. The 'failures' are usually the biggest laughs at our shows, and that's freeing for everyone."

Well, James and I decided to head south to the Gulf Coast and Margie continued on the Adventure Cycling Rout east and we parted ways after lunching together in Cedar Creek.
I liked the "gang of three", but we had different ideas, heading in the same direction.
We had no clue - as usual - where we were going to sleep that night and after riding road 304 south (which looked like a small enough road) with no shoulder but lots of trucks and traffic, we nodded at each other (called: none verbal communication) in agreement to pull over at the community center in String Prairie. We had already filled up with water/food and goodies at a friendly local store prior to this discovery for our shelter for the night.
A storm was brewing according to the weather forecast, but there was still no sign of it. The CC building with a wooden deck and a lawn in the back was a welcome protection. We sat around for a while to see if there would be some action that evening, since it was Friday.
While we sat up the tent, a photo shoot group came by for Highschool graduation pictures. What I noticed here in TX, is, that people don't seem to be scared of strangers. Their first reaction is a smiling open face...no hesitation! Who would have thought? This little group was so curious - one of them belonging to the CC and said she'll let the rest of the member know via text, that we are spending the night here next to the building outside in our tent. She was pretty sure, that it wouldn't be a problem.
The promised storm arrived in the night with thunder/lighting and LOTS of rain...continuing in the morning. When the day broke, we seeked shelter under a roofed picnic table area belonging to the CC. I also discovered that the actual CC building doors were open and I took the liberty to charge my phone, hang my damp thermal rest over some chairs...maybe use the stove and or the microwave ...also, there was a heater ...I could dry some of my damp belongings! James didn't think this was a good idea..
It poured, it dumped and we felt so lucky to have a roofed picnic area....eating breakfast leisurely, when a car pulled up with a semi unfriendly, elderly couple inquiring our reasons for being here. The vice president of the CC was not impressed when we told them about our world tour and the hostile smile of the woman next to him was equally unconvincing that we were welcome. We had a business card from the woman the night before who gave us permission ...nothing changed his tune.
Oh, well, I didn't think much of it...we met so many friendly people, one or two hostile ones couldn't really "rain on my parade" this morning.
Soon after, a shiny truck pulled up, parked near the building..nothing more.........then the sheriff.
They obviously had a "date" and walked up to our picnic table together....we are in trouble, no doubt!
"...but we had permission", as we handed him the business card from the woman the night before. "You do not have permission, I am the president of the CC here in String Prairie and you don't have permission" said the angry, cow-boyish looking ...actually a bit handsome, middle aged man.
Now, the sheriff/woman was hip! Her hair was hip, her attitude and there was that open/friendly face I had been missing from Mr. Vice-and Mr. President. The latter one chilled a bit, after we did the question and answer game and especially after he checked out the building and there was no trace of us ever having entered it, just like we promised: "no, we never stept into the building!" I felt like smooching James right then right there: You were so right!


The Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is AMD's first dual-core Phenom processor, and thanks to an unlocked multiplier and 45nm manufacturing process, it has the potential to break some serious overclocking records... This 3.1GHz CPU slips easily into socket AM3 motherboards and Socket AM2+ platforms as well. This is largely due to its integrated DDR2/DDR3 memory controller, which functions in DDR3 mode for AM3 motherboards, and DDR2 mode on socket AM2/AM2+ motherboards.


If you're currently going through a divorce, you're not alone.
The entire population of the UK and the rest of the EU are going through the same thing. With a divorce bill and even divorce papers, Brexit is often talked about in terms of divorce. As such, it's worth asking what the split between the UK and the EU can teach us about the dissolution of marriages.
The UK has always had something of an internal conflict about whether or not it wants to be part of the EU. However, on 24th June 2016, a slim enough majority of the voting public decided that the relationship had run its course, and that was that.
The decision came out of nowhere, leaving the rest of the EU "stunned", but the process of actually handling the divorce has been a long and drawn out affair. Even with the agreement to "accelerate" Brexit talks, it'll still be 2019 before the UK leaves the EU — almost three years after it voted to do so.
The decision to get divorced can also come out of nowhere, leaving many people as "stunned" as the EU were, but the process can also be convoluted. Between getting your decree nisi and your decree absolute, a divorce can take a whole year to fully complete.
Divorce isn't always a mutual decision. It's perfectly possible for one person to be happily married while their partner is thinking of whether or not to leave them. This is why people can be surprised by a divorce, even if the signs have been there for years.
Brexit is also a perfect example of this. The EU had no intentions of kicking the UK out, but the UK has been considering leaving the EU for a long, long time.
The negotiations between the UK and the EU came to a standstill when the issue of the "divorce bill" stopped both sides from reaching an agreement on anything. On the one hand, there is the reported €75 billion the UK owes the EU once it leaves. On the other hand, there is the apparent €10 billion the EU owes the UK once it leaves.
While no divorce in the history of divorces has ever been that expensive, some famous settlements have been pretty eye-watering. Of course, a divorce doesn't need to cost that much. If the EU and the UK could settle their differences, the figure could be a lot smaller. In much the same way, joint asset valuations are a great way of coming to a compromise both ex-partners can agree on.
For the UK and the EU, a public divorce is the only option. The results are not pretty.
The news media is constantly churning out stories about how Brexit negotiations are going. The worse it looks, and the more disputes each side have, the more news it generates.
However, all of this is a necessary evil in the name of free speech. The public doesn't want to be shielded from the ugliness of the negotiations. They want to know every detail and it is the duty of the news media to tell them about every detail.
By contrast, if you have children, the last thing you want is a messy, public divorce.
For most parents, the ideal way to handle the situation is to keep it out of the courts and to keep everything private. In short, you do want to shield your children from the ugliness of it all. So, be civil, be discreet, and remember: once upon a time, you both loved each other.

Expert Q&As Hidden Common Ground Suzette Hackney Columns & Letters
Abbott's vetoes hurt poor people and the environment
Corpus Christi Caller-Times
The old saying "put your money where your mouth is" has a flip side that means the same thing. Gov. Greg Abbott does not have the power to insert spending into the state budget delivered to him by the Legislature. But his line-item veto authority means he can cut expenses from it. How he uses that power says a lot about what he thinks is unimportant.
Abbott cut $120 million from the $217 billion budget he signed Monday. And those cuts demonstrate that the environment and poor people rank low on his list of priorities.
With his biggest veto, $87 million, Abbott managed to take a whack at both the environment and the poor. The money was for the state's Low-Income Vehicle Repair Assistance Program aimed at bringing the vehicles driven by low-income residents into emissions compliance, by subsidizing repairs or replacement.
Abbott explained that one away by saying simply that the program "has done little to provide measurable improvements to air quality." It's an easy thing to say, like when former Gov. Rick Perry said Medicaid was "unsustainable" when he declined the billions of Medicaid dollars due Texas under the Affordable Care Act. And yet, Medicaid continues to exist. Abbott's bold words also fall victim to factual contradiction.
If he wants to talk about what's measurable, he should consider what Brian Zabcik told the Austin American-Statesman — that the program helped cut nitrogen oxide emissions by 70 percent. That is what Crocodile Dundee would call a measurable.
Abbott's veto of program funding "sacrifices the long-term health of all Texans for an imagined financial gain," Zabcik told the Statesman. To be fair to Abbott, an $87 million savings isn't imaginary. But we'll all be paying it back and then some in human misery and medical bills. To be fair to Zabcik, that's what he meant.
A much smaller cut, $859,091, would have gone to improve the living conditions of people living in colonias through the Texas Secretary of State's office. Abbott said there are other agencies already assisting the people of the colonias. And that's true. There indeed are other agencies that have colonia programs. But their existence doesn't make the Secretary of State's program redundant. It will become redundant when the problem ceases to exist. Until then, every little bit helps and every little line-item veto hurts.
Abbott deleted $6 million for bicycle and car pool promotion programs in cities in danger of violating federal air quality standards. He said those programs should be funded at the local level. That's not a bad argument on face value. But this is the same governor who wants to limit local governments' property-taxing authority. If a program is to be funded at at the local level, the locals need the means to do it.
Also, the $6 million sent the message that air quality is important to the state, not just to individual cities. It was an example of putting the state's money where its mouth is.
Money talks. Abbott can say he cares about the poor and about clean air, but his line-item vetoes shout otherwise.

Q: Splitting long input into multiple text files I have some code which will generate an infinite number of lines in output. So, I can't store those values in a single output file.
Instead, I split the output file into more files. I am splitting the file according to the index numbers. Now my doubt is I don't know how many numbers my file will be having. So is it possible to split the file into different output without giving index? For example:

*

*first 100,000 lines in m.txt

*from 100,001 to next 200,000 in n.txt

A: If you don't need to be able to find a particular line based on the file name, you can split the output based on the file size. Write lines to m1.txt until the next line will make it >1MB; then move to the next file - m2.txt.

A: split(1) appears to be exactly the tool for your job.

A: Generate files with a running index. Start with opening e.g. m_000001.txt. Write a fixed nuber of lines to that file. Close file. Open next file, e.g. m_000002.txt, and continue.
Making sure that you don't overflow the disk is an housekeepting task to be done separately. Here one can think of backups, compression, file rotation and so on.

A: You may want to use logrotate for this purpose.  It has a lot of options: check out the man page.
Here's the introduction of the man page:
"logrotate  is  designed to ease administration of systems that generate
large numbers of log files.  It allows automatic rotation, compression,
removal, and mailing of log files.  Each log file may be handled daily,
weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large."

A: 4 ways to split while writing:
A) Fixed no of characters (Size)
B) Fixed no of lines
C) Fixed Interval of time before writing
D) Fixed Counter of a function before calling a write
Based on those splitings, You can name the output file.

In 1977 a group of Boston musicians – Hayes Burnet, Syd Smart and Leonard Brown – initiated the John Coltrane Memorial Concert as a way of recognizing the genius of one of America's greatest musicians and composers. The concert venue changed for the first several years before moving permanently to Northeastern University, where Dr. Leonard Brown was hired as Associate Professor of African American Studies and Music.
Fast forward four decades later, and the 41st Annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert remains a centerpiece of Boston's vibrant jazz scene. The concert is set to take place on Saturday, December 15 at Northeastern's Blackman Auditorium under the musical direction of Dr. Carl Atkins. It is an evening of reflection and re-animation of John Coltrane's compositions, legacy and philosophy.
This year's concert honors two master JCMC alumni: Bill Pierce and Stan Strickland, both of whom have made indelible musical contributions to the world.
The success of the annual concert has been recognized by fans of jazz and by local public officials. In 2017 Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker gave the John Coltrane Memorial Concert an official citation on the occasion of its 40th anniversary, and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh presented a John Coltrane Memorial Concert proclamation.
Read this 2011 MassJazz interview with Dr. Leonard Brown talking about John Coltrane and his legacy.


This is an old tilt-over crank-up tower that I hope to install one day at ZL1NZ.
It is very ruggedly built of galvanised steel (see photos below).
According to the drawings, it also came in a 50-foot version, so clearly it was commercially produced.
I have an engineer's design certificate for it, issued on 21/11/1975 when it was being installed in Onetangi on Waiheke Island. Also a consent from Rodney District Council from 8/11/1993 for its installation in Whangaparaoa. But unfortunately no drawings of the installation.
In particular, I need drawings or specifications for the foundation.

'We face a bleak winter': Council leader warns of 'long-term lockdown after Christmas' in Wales
Covid at winter
Jez Hemming, local democracy reporter
The leader of Denbighshire council has warned that a "long-term lockdown after Christmas will be a reality" as we face up to a "very bleak winter".
Cllr Hugh Evans MBE made the remarks during an urgent item announcement to the authority's last cabinet meeting of 2020 on Tuesday.
He said it had been a "challenging and testing year" and thanked staff for their work keeping services going since March.
Cllr Evans said many workers had "gone beyond the call of duty keeping services open, protecting residents and supporting local businesses".
He also thanked public service partners for their help but said his thoughts were with those across Denbighshire and wider region who "had suffered as a consequence of the pandemic".
He said: "It would be remiss of me not to reflect on what has been a very challenging and testing year for the authority.
"As we reach the end of the year, it is a relief to note that vaccines are becoming available and we will play our part in rolling those vaccines out.
"In the meantime, we do face a very bleak winter. The rolling average of people testing positive is rising and long-term lockdowns after Christmas will be a reality."
Welsh Government unveiled its four alert levels to deal with the pandemic on Monday this week.
Although there has been talk of a further lockdown post-Christmas because of the situation in Wales, Welsh Government still appears to be pushing on with plans to relax rules for five days over the festive period.
Cases per 100,000 of the population in the county have now topped 125 and rising – the third highest in the north of Wales but around half of that in Wrexham, the hardest hit county.
In the south of Wales, some local authorities are seeing rates of 650-870 cases per 100,000, with rates in its least affected council areas more than two-and-a-half times higher than Denbighshire.


After moving to the one-room "Khrushchev" we decided to make a repair, which included the replacement of the old kitchen door. The interroom door is made of solid wood, and it was very pitiful to throw it away, even though it looked awful. Then it was decided to restore the old door with his own hands and thereby save on the purchase of a new one.
This is how our door originally looked. As you can see, her condition is rather pitiable and not at all aesthetic.
The door had old-style handles resembling a hospital room; a lot of paint stains, the layers of which were not counted; protruding trim, which simply disfigured the door, and, of course, completely uneven surface.
This door has been standing since its construction, namely since 1968.
First we unscrew the old handles. Then they removed the door from the hinges. To level the door surface at home, we decided to use a plane.
The plane removed the old layer of paint in prominent places quite well. With a plane, the protruding edges of the platbands were removed and the end surface was processed so that the corners of the door were smooth.
Then we used a large emery paper to grind the surface of the door leaf.
The result was a rather impressive amount of garbage and wooden chips.
Next we returned the door to its place.
It is necessary to work with the plane carefully so that it does not work out too deep grooves.
is used for initial processing. Then putty on wood went on. . I recommend taking more volume, since we lacked 0.25 kg jars and we had to buy more.
In total, I took about 0.7 kg of putty.
I applied wood putty with a soft spatula. In places with large grooves had to put more than one layer. After the putty has dried, we sand the door panel again with sandpaper.
As a result, the door acquired such a look.
The next step was to paint the door with white acrylic enamel.
Enamel does not have a sharp harmful odor and does not turn yellow. by time.
Paint marks that left on the glass, I removed using a clerical knife. It would be more practical to pre-tape the glass with adhesive tape, but unfortunately I did not.
At the very end we fastened the new door handles. At this our home restoration was completed. The door has acquired a noble aesthetic look. I would be glad if our experience will be useful to you.

Groups Sue To Have Prop 211 Declared Unconstitutional
A civil rights lawsuit has been filed by two Arizona nonprofits in hopes of having the recently passed Voters' Right To Know Act aka Proposition 211 declared unconstitutional.
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AFEC) and the Center for Arizona Policy have joined forces to seek a preliminary injunction barring implementation of Prop 211 while the case is litigated. The groups are represented by the Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation at the Goldwater Institute.
In announcing Thursday's lawsuit, AFEC issued a statement which argues that Arizona voters "were misled into passing Prop 211" by supporters like former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard who railed against the vague threat of "dark money" in the state's elections.
Prop 211 received more yes votes than no votes in all 15 counties, and easily passed by more than 1 million votes. But the plaintiffs insist the new law jeopardizes and interferes with the right of all Americans to freely support campaigns and causes in Arizona without being intimidated.
The Voters' Right To Know Act requires all entities and persons spending more than $50,000 in "campaign media spending" on statewide campaigns (or $25,000 on other campaigns) excluding personal monies and business income to disclose the original donors of any contribution over $5,000.
The Act involves the disclosure of those donors' names, mailing addresses, and occupations. It also requires disclosure of the identities of those donors' employers.
"This is just another attempt to target, harass, and dox conservatives who won't submit to the Left's agenda," the AFEC statement reads. "And if you don't think this happens, think again."
The statement notes the experiences of its own staff "who have received numerous phone calls and voicemails threatening violence—including one staff member whose car was vandalized for engaging in public communications on our behalf."
As required by state law, the Plaintiffs were required to provide notice to the Arizona Attorney General, the Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, and the President of the Arizona Senate that they are seeking to have Prop 211 declared unconstitutional.
There is recent precedent for the legal arguments put forth by the Goldwater Institute for the plaintiffs. A U.S. Supreme Court decision last year in Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta struck down a similar law in California on the grounds that the First Amendment protects the freedom to anonymously support organizations and nonprofits.
A central theme of the Arizona lawsuit against Prop 211 is the guarantee in the state Constitution that citizens have the right to speak freely, a right even broader than what is guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The lawsuit notes the Arizona Constitution expressly guarantees that an individual's "private affairs" will not be disturbed, particularly those that pertain to financial information and one's choices when casting a ballot.
"Transparency is for government; privacy is for individuals," the lawsuit argues.
Another problem with Prop 211, according to the lawsuit, is its definition of campaign media spending to include any public communication which "promotes, supports, attacks, or opposes" a candidate within six months of an election or "refers" to a candidate 90 days before a primary election.
That overly broad language means any article, blog, or social media post by groups like AFEC or Center for Arizona Policy about something as commonplace as a vote by a lawmaker could trigger compliance with the new law if that lawmaker is running for office or opts to soon after the communication.
"And if you think that by simply avoiding traditional campaign media spending (sending out a mailer, airing a TV commercial, etc.) will protect you from Prop 211, think again," the AFEC statement notes. That is because the new law applies to all "research, design, production…or any other activity conducted in preparation for" a public communication about a candidate.
"Since writing articles and producing social media posts have a cost, we would have to calculate and regularly track how much staff time and office resources are used to produce these materials," the statement notes.
Such an onerous level of accounting would force AFEC to drastically limit its public communications—even if a communications are not campaign related—"to avoid the absurd dragnet and complex regulatory labyrinth established by this Act," the group noted.
Joining AFEC and Center for Arizona Policy as plaintiffs are "Plaintiff Doe I" and "Plaintiff Doe II," both described as Arizona citizens and Maricopa County residents. The Doe plaintiffs allege that it is unconstitutional to require them to "reveal his or her identity when donating to charitable organizations that engage in public communications supporting issues and candidates" the two support.
Their lawsuit has been assigned to Judge John Hannah of the Maricopa County Superior Court. The defendants include Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs as well as the Arizona Clean Elections Commission, its executive director, and its five commissioners.
It is the Clean Elections Commission which is tasked with establishing and interpreting the new standards outlined in Prop 211. The Commission has often been at odds with AFEC in past ballot initiatives and litigation, including one case in which the U.S. Supreme Court significantly reduced the Commission's power.

Wilhelm Ruland (* 15. Oktober 1869 in Bonn; † 29. Juli 1927 in München) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller.

Leben

Wilhelm Ruland studierte Literaturgeschichte und neuere Sprachen; er schloss dieses Studium 1896 an der Universität Rostock mit der Promotion zum Doktor der Philosophie ab. Anschließend war er als Hauslehrer, zeitweise auch als Prinzenerzieher, in Bayern, Österreich und Italien tätig. Von 1898 bis 1902 war er Redakteur und Verlagsdirektor in Leipzig. Er unternahm ausgedehnte Reisen in den Nahen Osten und ließ sich schließlich in München nieder. Dort gehörte er der Redaktion der Münchner Neuen Nachrichten an; zuletzt lebte er als freier Schriftsteller.

Wilhelm Ruland verfasste Erzählungen, Gedichte und Theaterstücke; besonders erfolgreich war sein Rheinisches Sagenbuch, von dem seit der Erstausgabe 1896 bis in die 1930er Jahre zahlreiche Auflagen und Übersetzungen erschienen.

Star Trek and Star Wars are the most influential sci-fi sagas. We debate these two universes and outline some of the best quotes. Also check out some of the most iconic scenes of Start Trek and Star Wars. Join our debate and vote!
Star Trek and Star Wars are the most influential sagas in the history of science fiction. Both sci-fi franchises successfully created rich universes which have inspired multitudes of books, video games, toys, and TV series. We compare the two and select a few of the best quotes the characters of these sagas left us.
Star Trek vs Star Wars
Star Trek is a science fiction franchise created by Gene Roddenberry. The Original Series was released in 1966 and ran for three seasons on NBC. Star Trek narrates the space exploration and interstellar adventures of James T. Kirk, Captain of the starship USS Enterprise, and its crew, which included Spock, Leonard McCoy, Montgomery Scott, Pavel Chekov, Nuota Uhura, and Hikaru Sulu among others. The Enterprise explored the galaxy on behalf of the "United Federation of Planets". They searched new life and civilization, and often fought the extraterrestrial Klingons. The series were so sucessful that several TV spin-off series were launched afterwards: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Trek: Discovery, the latest series which first season was aired in 2017. Ten films were also produced from 1979 to 2002. In 2009, the film franchise underwent a relaunch with Star Trek, a prequel to the original series directed by JJ Abrams. A sequel to this film, Star Trek Into Darkness, followed in 2013 and new one Star Trek Beyond has been anounced to mark the 50th anniversary of the interestellar saga in 2016. The trekkies are surely delighted that their favorite characters will be back soon.
Star Wars is an epic sci-fi space opera franchise created by the film director and producer George Lucas. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) was the first movie of a trilogy that was completed with The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Star Wars became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. Iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Yoda or Darth Vader have left a deep imprint on many of us. Some of the scenes and scenarios in the movies also stimulated our imagination, such as the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, the battle on the icy planet Hooth or the destruction of the Death Star. And what about its music? who doesn't recognize the fantastic John Williams soundtrack? A prequel trilogy was later released Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). The first movie of a third trilogy, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015), has just been released. As with the reboot of Star Trek, for this new Star Wars JJ Abrams has been the chosen director to bring back to the big screen some of the most glorious elements of George Lucas saga.

The King Vox Wah and the Cry Baby from the 1970s were both made by the Thomas Organ Company. Both used the standard wah circuit that most manufacturers still use to this day. They were made on the same circuit board, 5117 transistors with a TDK 5103 inductor, used the same component values, and should sound identical.
The only difference is that this King Vox Wah has an electrolytic capacitor where the Cry Baby has a tantalum of the same value. This is due to the fact that the circuit boards were manufactured a few years apart and would not change the tone in any way for this application.

We are entering a period of time when you could be hurting your bottom line in both ways. From a financial perspective, bottom line is the net profit or loss after all expenses.
When I say you could be hurting your bottom line in both ways, I was implying (a) impulse buying / holiday spending and (b) the feasting that would result in an increase in your body weight.
I am strongly convinced that I need the product and the product reviews are really good.
If I at the end of week two I am strongly convinced that I need the product, then I start looking for the lowest price at which I can buy it. At the end of week three, I place the order. I used to be a spendthrift. This discipline has saved me from several impulse buying decisions.
Just because something is on sale you don't need to buy it.
Having less things and more cash in your hands is just plain old common sense.
The best place for your money to be is in your wallet.

Q: `No crypto library available` in Python 2.7 on a Windows PC I am trying a GAE Python app on a Windows PC. While using the following code I ran into a No crypto library available error:
from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
json_key=json.load(open('DriveCredentials.json'))
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(json_key['client_email'], json_key['private_key'].encode(), scope)

According to this, I need to install PyOpenSSL. I did that but still get the same error.  From this Google Groups conversation, it is hypothesized that it won't work in a Windows environment because the crypt module is not available in Windows. Is this correct?
I deployed the project to GAE and it ran fine on Google's server despite not being able to run on my local PC.
Is it a known issue that development on a Windows PC is not possible for SignedJwtAssertionCredentials? Is there a workaround?
I had the same code above in a Python 3.4 environment on Windows in another application earlier and that worked fine.

A: You need to download and install the Voidspace PyCrypto binaries for Windows:
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto
Certain countries have restrictions on exporting cryptography algorithms like PyCrypto. To play it safe, PyCrypto does not offer these directly. Accordingly, you have to download and install it from these third party sites instead of using the standard tools like pip.

A: Okay, I think I have an idea of what will fix this issue. From the provided console logs, we see that it does successfully crawl to the desired page. However, no data is scraped. Consider reading the documentation for why response.css is better in this situation (selecting by classes).
def parse(self, response):
    items = NumItem()
    # make sure the selectors are correct, let's use the logger to check what the selector gives us
    selector = response.css('div.bigTitle.clearfix.hasImg')
    self.logger.info(f'the selector: {selector}')
    for k in selector:
        # try debugging with the logger
        self.logger.info(f'k in the selector loop is: {k}')
        extract = k.css('div.darker').getall() # getall is synonymous to extract
        items['extract'] = extract
        yield items

Hopefully this will help you find why the data is not being yielded and written to your file. If the logger shows nothing, for the selector and k, then you know your selector is wrong and is not finding anything on the page.

Ebola Symptoms, Treatment, and Mortality Rate
Key facts about Ebola symptoms, treatments and its mortality rate.
Janey Danes December 29, 2014	| Related: ebola
This is how Ebola virus looks like when it's viewed under the microscope.
Out of 19,497 confirmed Ebola cases, the death toll has risen to 7,588. Despite the effort of containing the virus and decreasing the mortality rate of Ebola, the infection is still spreading intensely.
The highest recorded number of patients is found in the north and west of Sierra Leone. Because of the origin of this outbreak, it's sometimes called as Africa Ebola disease.
The Ebola symptoms of this current outbreak are quite complex. In fact, this outbreak is considered as the most complex since the discovery of this virus in 1976.
Up to now, Ebola vaccine is still in the works.
What are the Ebola symptoms you must know?
What makes Ebola more frightening and difficult to treat is that its symptoms are similar to other viral infections.
Because of the similarities of Ebola symptoms to other infections, doctors have difficulty diagnosing it at its early stage.
Here are some of the important Ebola symptoms that you must watch out for.
Abrupt fever
If we try to analyze these symptoms of Ebola, they're the same as flu symptoms. In other words, there are no distinct sign or symptom that can tell that the patient is infected with the Ebola virus and not just flu virus.
Then, there's the fact that the Ebola symptoms will only manifest a few days after exposure to the virus.
The incubation period can be anywhere from 2 days to 21 days, depending on how your body responds to the virus.
Will bleeding occur?
Internal and external bleeding is one of the symptoms of Ebola. However, it's a later symptom that may cause the patient's eyes to become red.
They may also vomit blood. Bloody diarrhea is also noted.
When the infected patient would suffer from cardiovascular collapse, he/she might die.
As previously mentioned, the Ebola symptoms are almost the same as flu, malaria and typhoid fever.
Thus, diagnosis can be quite difficult.
The only way to confirm the symptoms is for the patient to undergo a series of investigations.
Confirmation tests
Serum neutralization test
Virus isolation
RT-PCR assay
Medical professionals who are handling the samples of the patients with Ebola symptoms are advised to consider them as extremely biohazard risk.
Testing on the samples must be done under extreme biological containment conditions.
It's important to diagnose the patient as early as possible to gather appropriate treatments.
Bear in mind that this Africa Ebola disease can be fatal. Having close contact with the infected patient can cause you to become sick as well.
The doctors who supervised the treatment of this virus have died, including Dr. Sheik Umar Khan and Dr. Samuel Brisbane.
Because this virus can be easily spread from one person to another, it's important to isolate those patients with Ebola symptoms.
Even if they haven't been diagnosed yet of this disease, they must still be put in isolation to avoid spreading the disease.
Africa Ebola disease transmission
In order to suffer from the symptoms of Ebola, you must first have close personal contact with the infected person.
In previous outbreaks, this disease was spread among hospital care workers and/or family members. This is because they're the ones who take care of those infected individuals.
But the virus or infection won't be transmitted through eye contact, despite the close personal contact with the infected patient.
You need to touch the patient's blood and body fluids for the virus to crawl to your body and cause infection.
The body fluids of those infected individuals contain large amount of Ebola virus. This is one of the reasons transmission of virus through hypodermic needles is possible.
In Zaire and Sudan, for instance, reusing needles is a common practice. Because their health care system is underfinanced, they can't afford to purchase or stock boxes of needles.
Can it be transmitted through mosquitoes?
It's not like malaria or dengue.
Ebola symptoms will occur only when the bodily fluids of the infected patient go inside you, regardless of how it's been transmitted.
It's also likely that you'll get infected even if the person with the virus didn't show signs of Ebola. This is the latest development of Africa Ebola disease.
The virus can still be present on the skin surface of the patient infected with the virus. It can be spread through sweat.
If the body fluids of the infected person reached your eyes, for instance, the virus would spread rapidly, regardless of its quantity.
Can the infected patient who's been completely healed transmit the virus to others?
Patients who have been completely healed from the virus won't pose a threat of transmitting the infection.
Then again, these patients must not engage in sexual intercourse as their genital secretions may still have the virus intact, which may cause virus spread.
Thus, they're advised to avoid sexual contact for 7 weeks after they've completely recovered.
The Africa Ebola disease or Ebola is difficult to treat. But the standard treatment must include supportive therapy.
This includes balancing the fluid and electrolytes of the patient. Their oxygen and blood pressure must also be monitored to avoid complications.
In addition to monitoring the patient's O2, BP, electrolytes and fluids, it's also important to monitor other infections that may complicate the condition. This is one of the reasons isolation is necessary if someone is suspected of carrying this virus.
Complications of Ebola symptoms are possible. They involve organ failures, jaundice, shock, coma, seizures, severe bleeding and death. According to the CDC, among the infected patients, 50% to 100% of them will die if they didn't receive immediate treatment.
Those patients who survived from this disease may still have to endure the complications of Ebola symptoms. This means that they may still suffer from fatigue, headaches, weakness, hair loss and hepatitis, among others.
Thus, it's essential that survivors of this disease must work with their health providers to finally recover from this condition.
Is there an Ebola vaccine?
No Ebola vaccine yet has been discovered. The best way to prevent being infected with the virus is to avoid traveling to those areas where the cases of Ebola are high.
You must also stay away from those patients with the disease to avoid getting infected with the virus. If you don't have any reason to go to the hospital, you must avoid it.
If you're a medical caregiver, you can protect yourself from becoming infected by adhering to the strict rules on how to prevent transmission of virus. This means that you must wear gloves, goggles, gowns and appropriate mask when handling or taking care of the patient with the virus.
Research about Ebola vaccine is still ongoing. Although successful vaccines have been developed, they only work with experimental animals. But researchers are working hard to finally find the vaccine that can prevent the virus from spreading.
The vaccine that's being developed utilizes modified viruses, inactivated viruses, and recombinant viruses. None are available. But the government assured us that the vaccine will surface sooner, rather than later. Cross fingers.
Is the Ebola virus at risk to the general public?
Although the mortality rate of Ebola is high, it's not considered a risk to the general public.
But you'll be at risk of getting infected if you work in the hospital where patients with this virus are being treated.
Your risk is also high if you come in direct contact with the bodily fluids of the infected patient.
How to control the risk?
The key to controlling the transmission is to have excellent laboratory service that handles samples.
Safe burials of patients who died of this disease must be observed.
It's a must that the community act together to control the outbreak. The government must also come up with a way that can help spread the essential information of how to avoid Ebola symptoms.
Fruit bats and monkeys that might have been infected must be thoroughly cooked before eating them. When handling them, you should wear gloves and other clothing that can effectively protect you against the virus.
When you take care of your family member who's infected with the virus, you must wear protective equipment and gloves. If you're only visiting a friend or a member of the family who's sick of this disease, you must wash your hands after visiting the patient.
Safe burial of the dead must be part of the containment measure. The burial must be done promptly to avoid virus spread. The government must identify those people who have been in close personal contact with the person infected with this virus.
Even if you haven't experienced Ebola symptoms yet but you've been to one of the countries where there the disease is endemic, you must submit yourself to isolation to prevent further spread. You might or might not have the disease. The important thing here is to contain the infection.
When it comes to preventing transmission of Ebola symptoms, you must practice good hygiene. A clean environment is also a must.

Lord of the Rings: Gollum Confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X
Not so precious.
byChris Priestman
Posted Jan. 7, 2020, 12:15 p.m.
Daedalic Entertainment has reaffirmed that its action-adventure game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be coming to next-gen consoles including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X alongside PC in 2021.
This is what the studio told Edge magazine for its February 2020 issue, which has a number of interviews with key developers that reveal the first new details about the game since its announcement back in March 2019.
For starters, Daedalic has set out to invent its own version of main character Gollum rather than follow the look given to him in Peter Jackson's movies. "Tolkien didn't give a size reference for Gollum to begin with," art director Mathias Fischer told Edge. "So in the first illustrations, he's gigantic! He's like a monster emerging from the swamp." Daedalic hasn't yet revealed what Gollum will look like in the game.
Senior producer Kai Fiebig adds to this that Daedalic doesn't "want to displease the folks who have only seen the movies. But in short, he doesn't look like Andy Serkis." Serkis is, of course, the actor who portrayed Gollum in the movies.
Daedalic's take on Gollum has you play him as he's deep into his corruption by the One Ring. He conveys a different set of emotions than those seen in the films so that he's more sympathetic and relatable - this is important as you'll be spending 20 or so hours with him.
Fischer also revealed that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will feature Nazgûl, although not the ones that lovers of the films will know. "They were an interesting challenge, because it's so well documented where they are in the wider narrative. It was like, 'Shit, can we use the cool Nazgûl?'," Fischer said. "I think ours are the less cool ones. They're the drummer and bass player of the band. But we have a chance to make them more popular!"
The Edge feature also outlines that you should expect stealth gameplay, a dual-personality mechanic, huge levels, and a move away from the violence that dominates other Lords of the Rings games. The dual-personality of Gollum sounds particularly interesting and will lead to some crucial choice-based moments throughout the game.
"It's not just choosing to be Sméagol or Gollum, because for Gollum as an entity it's not that easy. Each personality is being attacked by the other; each has to defend himself," game designer Martin Wilkes explained.
"You will have maybe two, three or four conflicts per chapter that lead to a final decision point. And at this final decision point, it will be harder to pick Sméagol, for example, if you've always fought for the Gollum side before."
Finally, CEO Carsten Fichtelmann said that Daedalic has a long-running contract which means the studio is aiming to do two or three games set in Middle-earth, "which means maybe the next game is - obviously not Gollum 2. That doesn't make sense. It could be some other character. But it will be comparable to what we're now trying with Gollum."
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum isn't the only big Middle-earth project to look out for in the future as Amazon's prequel TV series is also on the way. It was recently confirmed that young Galadriel will appear in the show.

Having an attractive business sign is a vital component to your business' success, and this heavy-duty blade sign bracket will help you do just that. It's a must-have for smaller signs hanging outside doors or inside of stores and restaurants to mark off specific areas. Scrolls and curls are featured to add an elegant finish to the look, while the black finish bodes well for most any commercial locale. It's a great option for those who need more an old world or simple sign options, or where larger back lit signs are not allowed.
Standard sizes: 30", 40", 50"
Hanging signs may be placed along any flat surface where hardware can get a good hold. This bracket features a back plate and four mounting holes to make installation quick and easy. Just put the plate into place, and add coordinating hardware into the holes. Be sure your installation location is firm enough to hold the bracket and your coordinating sign. This piece is made from your choice of tubular steel or aluminum, making for a durable item that holds up against wear and tear. The 3-inch ball finial is made gives signage a nice decorative touch. Additionally, all items are powder coated, which means the black color is baked into the metal. This keeps peeling, rusting, fading, and chipping at bay, for years of practicality. Rest assured that you're making a wise investment in your business!
Combine this with other accessories to get the most out of your business sign. Gooseneck wall lights may help illuminate your logo and other identifying information, and can mounted near or next to the bracket and sign. Decorative additions may also be available. Brackets may also be painted in a variety of colors if desired, allowing for full customization to coordinate with your business logo and surrounding decor.


I would like to begin by saying how happy I am that we are all here today. It is with a real sense of honour and joy that I stand here to preach; it is so good to have so many members of my extended family and so many friends from this community here together; and all to celebrate together with my Dad 50 years of ministry as a priest in the Church of England.
Just in case I was tempted to self-indulgence in my sermon this morning we had those words from Paul's letter to the Corinthians: verse 5 "For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake." We are celebrating today not 50 years of self-publicity but half a century of faithful ministry in the service of Jesus Christ.

Centennial Parklands will undertake tree and landscaping works in the Centennial Homestead forecourt from Monday 25 June to Friday 13 July 2018.
Works will involve the replacement of three Brachychiton rupestris, Queensland bottle trees with three new advanced (500L) Pyrus calleryana 'Capital', Callery pears trees and landscaping of the immediate area surrounding them.
The current trees are in severe decline due to a soil-borne pathogen, Phytophthora sp., which is natural in our environment but destructive to tree health.
The works will also involve the amelioration of the soil to combat the pathogen and maximise the chance of success for the newly selected trees.
The Centennial Parklands' Arborists have specifically chosen the new trees for their hardiness to disease and tough conditions as well as their attractive autumn foliage, white flowers during spring and its space-appropriate columnar form.
Temporary site fencing and signage will be erected around the work site work safety.
Please use ramp and stairs at the rear of this compound to gain access through area, to Homestead Café and Centennial Parklands Visitor Information desk.


Let's face it, 2015 was a tough year for Planet Earth. Terrorists attacked, politicians argued, and the climate continued to destabilize. There has never been a better time for happy music, and thankfully, we've got a great selection right here!
Listen to these recordings and allow your worries to evaporate; remember the innocence of childhood and the beauty of the world. Cling to the fact that while we can't stop bad things from happening, we can't stop good things from happening either! Our cups might seem only half-full, but they can overflow. Our cover image comes from the site Pancake of the Week. Did you know there was such a site? Doesn't it make you happy?
And now, A Closer Listen presents The Happiest Music of the Year ~ a selection for the spirit, heart and mind!
Baroque music, handclaps, dialogue samples and timbres from vintage films combine in this ebullient collage. Helnwein's crew seems to be having a whole lot of fun, which means we are too. Voyage sets sails on a sunny day with just the right amount of wind, and reaches port in the hearts of its listeners.
The artist's first instrumental album is warm and endearing, the sound of dust blown from an old childhood toy. Combining bright instrumentation with the strings of William Ryan Fritch, Cars & Trains offers a sweet alternative to the troubles of the world.
Half an hour of distorted abandon may be too much for some, but for others, it's just right. Life is like a cotton candy carnival, a sugar-fueled race through a park of exuberance. Friel's inner child is allowed to play untethered, and his wild rumpus is cathartic.
Etch and Etch Deep brims with color and confidence. This is the rare album that sounds like its color, a kaleidoscope of timbres and shades. The glockenspiel is never far from the picnic table, but shares the food with its companions; the music sounds like a summer feast.
Le Millipede is just one man with a whole lot of friends, but his love for rhythm and riff is contagious. This album is a perfect example of what can happen when all of the instruments get along: it's like a family reunion without the arguments.
The completion of Lullatone's seasonal project is yet another joyful release, in love with spring in all of its promise and bloom. Few artists have captured the essence of childhood as well as this duo; credit a love of parenthood along with an attitude of innocence.
Where did the slaves of New Orleans find the strength to endure their conditions? Faith, community, and music. The album is dedicated to the Congo Square, a gathering place for creative emotional release. By imitating the community's joyful collaborations, Music Komite honors their example.
On Tristesse Télescopique, the young composer continues to emulate the sounds and moods of Amelie. One can imagine the ingenue as she skips stones and falls in love. Playfully romantic, this album is like a first date in a pastry shoppe: sweet and confected.
As far as happy music is concerned, one cannot go wrong with a parrot and a paperback. This simple, gleeful concept is something that no one had thought of before. In subsequent years, we'll hear a glut of parrot and paperback albums, and we'll look back and reminisce about the day when it all began.
Percussive and sample happy, Sunrise Industry drives a golf cart into the supermarket, the corner office and the living room. Its permutations of light produce a comforting glow. All is well in this world. The seagulls are smiling.


LAHORE: The newly elected government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in Punjab is embroiled in controversies one after another.
The new one to hit the provincial government is the use of abusive language by the Information Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan during an TV interview last night.
The minister was asked some 'tough questions' by the anchor , which angered Chohan and he lost his cool. He then hurled abuses and stood up.
In another video leaked on social media, the minister was seen speaking at an event in Lahore and warning the cinema owners to not put 'half-naked' pictures of actresses .
Later, Senior Punjab Minister Aleem Khan apologised over the behaviour of his colleague. The issue must have been brought into the knowledge of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, he added.
10 days into government and the ruling party has already been embroiled up by events that have made it a punching bag for critics.

His voice quaking with emotion, the memory of a man he considers his idol about to be honoured by a star-studded array of his friends, Masai Ujiri tried to explain how the legacy of Nelson Mandela can help the world today.
The emotion was raw, the feeling came from the heart.
"He forgave after all he went through," the Raptors general manager said Friday of Mandela, as his organization celebrated the Giant of Africa a year after his death. "I think we should learn to be that way.
"We see all the problems in Ferguson and all these things going on: Just forgive and move on. People need to learn that. That's what he taught us, he sacrificed his life for 27 years … I tell you what, we are blessed in a country like Canada because we have peace here, we have good people.
"There are good people all around the world and a very little percentage of people not so good. That big percentage has to work harder to make that little percentage shrink."
Magic Johnson, Dikembe Mutombo, deputy NBA commissioner Mark Tatum, Charles Barkley and a host of others gathered for the celebration. And while Mandela's legacy was honoured, it was putting his action and life into the context of today's society that was at the forefront.
"It can teach them a lot," said Johnson. "For us to change things, we have to get people to the table that can bring about change. We've got to do it in a peaceful way.
"What Nelson was able to do was bring people together, motivate people, educate people and then go have them go out and be his ambassadors to bring about change."
And try to live as he did.
"What Madiba taught us was so much," said Mutombo. "He showed us that no matter what you do in your life, you can move on, learn how to forgive people, learn how to show people love . . . learn how to co-operate even with the people who have hurt you.
"To come here and to see what Toronto stands for, a multi-cultural, international capital of the world, it means a lot."
And at the centre of it all stood Ujiri, whose respect for Mandela knows no bounds.
"The world is not in a good place, in my opinion, and he makes it better," said the general manager. "I think he's going to be bigger, even though he's passed. He was bigger than life."
