Sällskapet Idun är ett sällskap för män, grundat 1862 i Stockholm.

Initiativtagare 1862 var konstnärerna och professorerna vid Fria Konsternas Akademi Edward Bergh och Johan Fredrik Höckert, tonsättaren Ivar Hallström, forskningsresanden och professorn vid Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, professorn och rektorn vid Karolinska Institutet Axel Key samt bibliotekarien vid Kungliga Biblioteket Harald Wieselgren. Den senare var under flera decennier i egenskap av sällskapets sekreterare den samlande och drivande kraften. Det är han som är huvudpersonen i Zorns målning En skål i Idun från 1892.

Verksamhet
I stadgarna från 1862 angavs att föreningen var till för
i Stockholm bosatte män, hvilka åt vetenskap, vitterhet och konst på skilda banor egna verksamhet och intresse.

Sällskapets uppgift enligt senast reviderade stadgarna från 6 december 2000:till uppgift att befordra samvaro mellan personer, verksamma inom olika kulturområden.Sällskapet Idun har sammankomster en gång i månaden utom under sommarmånaderna med föredrag och konststunder vid vilka konstnärer ger inblickar i sina konstnärskap. Novembermötet ägnas åt musik.

Sällskapet leds av en årligen vald nämnd, vars ordförande utses inom nämnden. Sällskapets sekreterare ansvarar för det löpande arbetet tillsammans med en också i särskild ordning av årsmötet utsedd kassaförvaltare och en klubbmästare. Nya medlemmar väljs in i den ordning stadgarna föreskriver av nämnden på förslag av minst två medlemmar. Antalet medlemmar har under lång tid varit mellan 550 och 600.

Motsvarande föreningar för män på andra håll i landet med likartade program är Sällskapet Concordia i Örebro (också grundat 1862), Sällskapet Gnistan, även kvinnor, i Göteborg (grundat 1878) och Sällskapet Heimdall i Malmö (grundat 1891). I Danmark finns en motsvarande förening, Selskabet for Historie, Litteratur og Kunst och i Norge Andvake Foreningen.

Sällskapet Nya Idun är en förening i Stockholm som vänder sig till kvinnor och den grundades av Calla Curman 1885. Theodor Westrin lät 1912 teckna sällskapets historia i Några bidrag till sällskapet Iduns historia''.

Asteroiden 176 Iduna har fått sitt namn efter sällskapet.

Q: Difference between aria-live="assertive" and aria-live="polite" Can somebody please elaborate on the difference between aria-live="assertive" and aria-live="polite"?
As per my understanding aria-live="assertive" will get the higher priority and wipe off the queue, whereas aria-live="polite" is having low priority over aria-live="assertive" and will continue with queue.

A: The behavior of live regions depends on the browser and screen reader being used, but you're on the right track.
According to the WAI-ARIA spec:

The values of this attribute are expressed in degrees of importance. When regions are specified as polite, assistive technologies will notify users of updates but generally do not interrupt the current task, and updates take low priority. When regions are specified as assertive, assistive technologies will immediately notify the user, and could potentially clear the speech queue of previous updates.

Usage notes from the WAI-ARIA authoring practices 1.1:

aria-live="polite"
  Any updates made to this region should only be announced if the user is not currently doing anything. live="polite" should be used in most situations involving live regions that present new information to users, such as updating news headlines. -
aria-live="assertive"
  Any updates made to this region are important enough to be announced to the user as soon as possible, but it is not necessary to immediately interrupt the user. live="assertive" must be used if there is information that a user must know about right away, for example, warning messages in a form that does validation on the fly.

Regarding clearing the queue (also from the spec):

User agents or assistive technologies MAY choose to clear queued changes when an assertive change occurs.

People we talked to who'd been in a long term relationship, expressed different views about the effect drugs/alcohol had on them and their partners. Using drugs and alcohol when in a relationship often had a negative effect, but several people pointed out there could be other reasons why relationships didn't work out.
Peter's ex blamed his cannabis use for their relationship problems but he says the problems were still there when he quit.
I have done a. I didn't have a trouble-filled relationship with my child, just the mother of him, very. It was a hard relationship. I don't know and occasionally because things would get so bad that I was, I was probably suffering with depression at times during the relationship because we had a very bad relationship. I was very unhappy. We argued a lot and occasionally she'd convince me that all of our problems were down to the fact that I used cannabis. So occasionally I have stopped and I've stopped for three, four months but then what I realised is during those three, four months actually the problem was our relationship. Like the only thing that cannabis did is make me a bit more numb or zoned out from some of the issues. It would make me not face some of the issues actually that in reality were there, the problems existing in our relationship. It was almost as if I was using it to dull some of the, the pain or ill feeling that I had because of this relationship.
But according to her, she put it down to...?
Yeah she blamed it on that but obviously I, it. The times when I'd stopped smoking cannabis I'd see clearly that these problems were still there. The problems didn't go away because I'd stopped smoking cannabis.
If someone was using drugs regularly while their partner didn't, relationships could suffer. Looking back, Sam and Charlie could see that when they were high they had not been able to relate to their partners, or pay attention to their feelings.
Sam thinks that many of his relationships had ended because of his 'crazy' use of drugs. (Played...
I'd been involved in a relationship that went wrong. And that went wrong due to me taking drugs, I think or it was a part of it. Because I'd sneak out of the house at night and run off and go and do drugs with other people and obviously she was thinking that I was going off doing something. I was probably 17/18 then.
And she was not doing drugs?
She didn't do drugs. She knew I was a drug taker and that but I was getting right off my brain like, I'd eat 3 or 4 tablets like in one go and be like eyes rolling in the back of my head and falling around and that. And I thought it was hilarious, what after I thought it was hilarious. I didn't think it was hilarious like a day later when I'm lying in bed sweating and trying to be sick and basically feeling that I don't exist anymore like. Do you know what I mean?
Charlie realises that in the past she spent too much time using drugs and not enough time...
It was definitely a negative thing because I was using drugs more than seeing him and he weren't particularly interested in it. He was in a bad place as well, just feeling depressed and sad a lot of the time, he didn't know how to deal with it. And neither did I. I was running away from it – from him – because I realised I was not happy with what was going on, and I couldn't deal with the strain it was putting on me.
I was trying to deal with his problems, and the fact my course was going badly, and my drug use was getting greater and greater… I just couldn't deal with it. But a lot of it, I think, was that I was trying to support him emotionally and I just felt worn out and unable to cope. And I think I got into drug use more, because I just – I didn't know how to deal with it any other way.
The way in the end was to end the relationship but that wasn't a particularly positive step. Though now it's been a very positive one, we're on good terms again. But at the time it was really hard for him, it was a blow when he was already going through a lot. But I couldn't deal with it anymore and it was sort of. If I'd have tried to keep with him for longer then I think I would have had a breakdown myself. You know it was getting extremely intense and I couldn't deal with the strain anymore of supporting someone else quite to that extent when I had my stuff to sort out too.
I was spending too much time on drugs and not enough on really socially interacting a huge amount – or doing much work. That's why the relationship failed in the end. Now I'm finding that I don't have as much time for drugs. I'm in a new relationship and I'm pretty busy a lot of the time, so drugs kind of have to be a special occasion anyway because I just don't have the time to use them.
We talked to several women who described how their first boyfriends had introduced them to drugs and then after they were hooked, had used drugs to control them.
Tara was only thirteen when her boyfriend started putting pressure on her to take cannabis.
And it was having, I was being pressured into trying stuff by my partner who was fairly abusive and quite forceful on me, so I, just do stuff for the sake of it, never quite enjoyed any of it, but obviously you get the rush of certain things or you get chilled out from certain things and it's quite a scary time because watching people inject heroin and watching them pass out, slumped in a corner it's not nice for someone to see at that young age when I was thirteen myself. Going on to like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen then, when my relationship with that partner ended, as did much of the drug use, but I still had the after effects, I had Cannabis Psychosis for lots of smoking of green, oh I had mental scars from all my experiences
So you, you felt sort of pressurised to do drugs?
While you were with him?
Yes I, yeah very pressurised to do drugs, [sighs] he was six foot four, he was a big, big built bloke, rugby player, and he had such a hold over me, and I was terrified of him but at the time I was thirteen, naïve, I thought I was in love with him, because despite all the bad things and how bad he was towards me he did show me love and affection, so I was with him, I was, I was scared to leave but at the same time I didn't want to leave because I didn't have many friends, he, he was there for me in a way, lots of people who are abused do love the person who is abusing them, so, [sighs].
What stops people using drugs when they are in a relationship?
Being in a long-term relationship can prompt people to re-think their lifestyles, especially their drug and drink habits. Several people who were regular users said they would definitely kick the habit if they started a family or got married. Having a partner who was into health and fitness had helped many people give up drugs.
Chloe's boyfriend told her she wasn't the same person when she was high and, though she found it...
Who was helping you at that time?
My boyfriend and me really because I told the people that I worked with that I had given up during the course but I hadn't. I was still smoking when I was volunteering so when it was actually time to give up I didn't tell them about it because they already thought I had. So yeah but they know this now [laugh]. But at the time so yeah it was just me really.
So your boyfriend was the main sort of support?
Yeah because obviously he was like, I can't communicate with you when you're high. You're not the same person. You're becoming skinny. You don't look the same. Your eyes are sunk in. I love you for you but I love you so much that I want you to stop this and improve yourself' kind of thing.
So how did you end up with a boyfriend who was not doing drugs? Was against drugs?
I don't know. We're not together anymore actually. We split up not that long ago. It's quite complicated. But I don't know. He's very healthy as well. Plays football, goes to the gym every single day, eats healthily. I like to think just because I was a nice person. [laugh] Yeah.
Emma's boyfriend doesn't drink so that helps her say no to alcohol because she doesn't want to...
Do you have a boyfriend at the moment?
[Affirmative noise] yeah.
Okay what about in relation to alcohol and to?
Well you see for me he is, he is one of the people who doesn't drink
And, anyway and yeah so my boyfriend actually doesn't drink at the moment, which again makes it easy to say no to alcohol because I don't want to be completely inebriated and acting like an idiot, so that's another support that I have...
So when you go out with him?
I would be like, I'm drinking tonight or I'm not drinking tonight, I'd tell him and whatever would be fine, it's not an, it's not an issue, at all it's just another part of the whole thing [slight laugh].
Raphael says his fiancée doesn't mind that he uses cannabis, but he would stop if they had children.
Have you ever thought about stopping using it (cannabis) or, or not really?
No, not really crossed my mind, I think whenever I, just like everything else whenever I get bored of it, or whenever I don't want to do it I'll stop it, but other than that I don't see the reason. I mean if you were to have children and stuff like that obviously I would, we could stopping it then, definitely stop it. Yeah definitely but, not just now I don't.
Does your fiancée smoke cannabis?
She smokes cigarettes, she doesn't smoke Cannabis.
Oh she doesn't smoke, what are her views on Cannabis?
I think she's got the same as me I don't think she, I don't think she's overly bothered about it really, I don't think she, she's not worried about it or anything like that she's not worried about me smoking it or anything like that.
Deciding to stop taking drugs was much easier if the partner was supportive and encouraging. If you think your partner needs help to sort out their drug or drink habit, see our 'Resources' section for links to organisations that can help. See Reasons for stopping or cutting down on drug use and Reasons for cutting down on alcohol.

WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS?
Our lives are like a slate. Just like how we write with a chalk on a slate and erase it when we want to write something else on it, similarly as humans we list down a set of targets or goals to achieve and keep working on them. However, it's generally noted that we tend to lose our patience after some time and a majority of us even move on to the next task without completing the previous task.
This practice slowly gets strengthened each time we apply it until it becomes a part of us and we are conditioned to behave and act in this manner.
This behaviour is carried on in whatever tasks we do, be it personal or professional especially when it comes to money. The way do anything is the way we will do everything.
Becoming rich is no big secret. You need to start by getting your foundation right which is your conditioning. Your primary access to wealth creation lies in completion of your pending/to do list. Yes! The money which you have looked for everywhere is actually present in your pending/to-do list.
Completion of your pending work reflects on the conditioning of your mind. Once you are able to complete the task at hand or task pending, you'll experience a sense of achievement and satisfaction which acts as your motivation factor to take more tasks and also complete them. In time, you'll automatically be giving instructions to your mind to form this habit which will ensure the long term sustainability of your business or profession and of your finances. By not finishing off your pending tasks, you create an unwanted blockade in your mind which may obstruct you from taking any favourable decision. Moreover in the long run this has the power to negatively impact your personal, professional life apart from impacting your relationship with self. Your success can be repeated regularly by following the process or the steps that went behind in executing your previous tasks which for example can be: Planning-Assessing-Executing-Reviewing. Only once you successfully complete small tasks and earn small amounts will you be able to successfully complete big tasks effortlessly and earn huge amounts.
The "conditioning of your mind will always overpower your intellect in the long run". This is true whether you look at it from the angle of money or from any other angle.
Opportunities come and go every single day. It doesn't matter what opportunities you get, that's secondary; what matters primarily is whether you have conditioned your mind, your habits rightly or not because earning money is very easy but its sustainability and its scaling is difficult.
You cannot reach your full potential unless and until you follow up, complete what's incomplete without wasting time and until you reach your full potential, your finances would also not reach its full potential. How can you reach greatness if you keep your works/tasks pending?
If you have conditioned yourself to keep your tasks pending, in that case no matter how many and how impactful income generating opportunities come in your way, you'll not be able to leverage it to your maximum benefit.
Getting your foundation right is the first step towards greatness. You can become rich few months down the line or few years down the line or when you turn 50 years old. Only your actions can control how soon you'll be able to reach financial freedom. Your conditioning plays a key role in this otherwise you may succeed in building a massive castle of richness but it'll be a castle which may not stand the storms of time essentially because the base or the foundation is weak.

Q: What are the options to store GTFS Data for Android App I am learning android developement in Java. As part of my learning I have started a project working on Transit App using GTFS data.
I have got two concerns:
data File Size:

*

*My sqlite db file size has grown to 760MB, since I have denormalized GTFS data and created additional tables and indexes for performance gains. GTFS stop_time record has around 4 Million records. Is there a way to reduce the db file size? or is there any other approach besides sqlite db to store data? I did try to store data required by my app using FlatBuffer to a file but that did not seem to reduce the data.

Performance:
As mentioned, I tried using FlatBuffer to speed up the data fetch and it seems promising but the file size seems to be the drawback not to use Flatbuffer. Since you would not be able filter data on fields to the extent as we can in sqlite db. I tried using FlatBuffer for a single trip from Station A to Station B.
Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks

A: At 4 million rows even the simplest of tables e.g. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS testit (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY); is going to take up 33Mb.

*

*noting that this is very much optimal as INTEGER's are stored very efficiently and there is no overhead due additional indexes.

Add a single unique column e.g. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS testit (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT UNIQUE);
Then based upon storing A + the id value in the name column e.g.

....

The the size jumps to 133Mb.
Without UNIQUE then just 68Mb (i.e. indexes have a cost in space (the UNIQUE constraint utilises an index)).
Test based upon using Navicat and the following SQL :-
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS testit;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS testit (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY/*, name TEXT UNIQUE*/);
WITH cte(counter) AS (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT counter+1 FROM cte LIMIT 4000000)
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO testit SELECT counter/*,'A'||counter*/ FROM cte;
VACUUM;
-- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS testit;

*

*The last line is uncommented to facilitate a run that cleans up the testing environment.

*Note the use of VACUUM

*the commented out clauses introduced/commented out for the different results.

Considering the above then there is probably not that much scope to reduce the size. Especially considering a quick look at https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/examples/gtfs-feed
Saying that there are possibilities that some data can be stored using less space.
Id's appear to be stored as text, utilising integers (long). Would save some space and also be more efficient. That is you use INTEGER PRIMARY KEY for the columns. That would then make them an alias of the   rowid which will be faster than other indexes. see https://www.sqlite.org/rowidtable.html
- obviously references/ relationships would have to be amended accordingly.
- this would not only reduce the size of the table, but also the size of the index (primary key).
- The downside could be accommodating/converting new/changed/downloaded data

date/times
Dates and times appear to be universally textual these could be stored, as integers which would then reduce the size. If stored in  a manner consistent with the formats understood by SQLite's Date/Time functions then the data could be extracted in suitable formats. see https://sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html
Don't you mean normalized? De-normalizing could increase the amount of data due to duplication of data.
See VACUUM (https://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html) it may be useful.
Consider the logging mode see https://sqlite.org/wal.html. An entity (Table's Trigger's, Views, Indexes) will take up a minimum of a page (default page size is 4k).
Index size will be relative to the size of the table being indexed, so use indexes judiciously.
I'd suggest using an SQLite tool such as DB Browser for SQLite to determine the optimal schema.
Use EXPLAIN/EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN to assist in optimisation of queries, see https://sqlite.org/lang_explain.html.


As appears to be a new Thanksgiving day tradition, Fox trotted out its annual installment of the FOX All Star Dog Rescue Celebration (renamed from last years awkward "Cause For Paws: All Star Dog Spectacular). An extensive list of celebrities told us their personal stories of dog adoption, showed us several of over 200 dogs available across the country for adoption, showcased the work of several dog rescue charities, presented awards, and gave us several opportunities to make a donation to the Petfinder Foundation.
The production value was up from last year, though, once again recorded at Santa Monica's Barker Hanger.
Taking over the hosting duties this year was Kaley Cuoco who added effervescence and youth to the show. She gave us a few facts throughout the night including that more than 8 million animals end up in shelters every year, and only half of those make it out. Her most prominent role was introducing the nominees for the Pedigree Cutest Puppy Contest, where viewers could vote through fox.com/allstardogrescue, or tweet the hashtag of one of five puppies. I won't spoil the results, but they are available on the shows website.
This episode started with Ross Mathews doing a remote broadcast outside the hanger covering the Wings of Rescue attempt to complete the Most Rescue Animals Transported In 36 Hours. They kept us in suspense the entire episode with Mathews also doing the final segment on the show where they succeeded (with a total of 1006). I'm not sure what the previous record was, or if there was one; but congratulations! There are so many deserving dogs going to happy homes across the country because of this organization.
Wings of Rescue also won the Transporter Of The Year Award.
Next up are Olivia Munn and Andy Cohen sharing more dogs for adoption and two interesting facts. When you adopt a dog, you save two. Adopting one dog opens a space up for a shelter to host another dog. Kohen shared that 25% of all dogs in shelters are purebreds. Going to a rescue that is specific to the breed you are looking for is a great place to start when looking for a dog.
Several times though the show, Cuoco and the presenters gave viewers information how to donate to the Petfinder Foundation. Petfinder aggregates the funds and disburses them to organizations across the country as grants. Viewers can donate through text or on the shows website.
Brandon McMillen (host of CBS's Lucky Dog) ended up being the unofficial "Social Media" guy, showing videos and pictures of viral dogs of Facebook and Instagram while sending the show to commercial and as in interlude between presenters.
Once again, this year's main sponsor was Pedigree. They didn't have as much brand placement this year, and while a few of last years recipients received gifts of Pedigree products, none were to be found this year. Pedigree does a great job in being an active part in sponsoring adoptions through the Pedigree Foundation. Another notable sponsor during the commercial breaks was Subaru, a long-time animal groups sponsor. They also ran several commercials where a family of dogs takes road trips in Subaru vehicles; quite funny.
There were several updates from adoptions resulting from last years show. It was great to see a few of the success stories of how the dogs features now have loving homes and permanent families.
Sprinkled throughout the show were other stars who introduced dogs for adoption. Scarlett Johansson, Zendaya, Whitney Cummings, Kesha and Zachary Levi made brief appearances on a side stage to introducing dogs for adoption.
Hilary Swank then introduced the Sam Simon Award. It is given to an organization making a significant difference to people and their canine companions. The winner for 2015 was Fences for Fido, a group from Portland, Oregon. Their mission: Improving the lives of dogs living outdoors on the end of chains, tethers or in small kennels by building them a free fenced yard, insulated dog house, and spay/neuter.
Miley Cyrus, Ricky Gervais, Kristen Bell, and Stevie Wonder all did pre-recorded segments showing dog available for adoption. Cyrus told the viewers about the abundance of pitbulls in shelters, and how only 1 of 600 pitbulls find homes. Kristen brought us to Hawaii for a segment from the Big Island.
Wendy Malek and the superstar Betty White made another appearance this year. Rather than a montage and an entire segment last year, Malek and White made a short speech following up on a dog from last year, Traveler, and introducing two new senior dogs. All too often people will bring their senior dogs to shelters near the end of their lives, increasing the cost and care required at the shelter, and giving up on their dog in one of their greatest times of need. Keeping a dog through their older years, and loving them until the end, are the hardest and most rewarding times.
Emmy Rossum did a segment on the importance of foster families and the role they play in rehoming dogs; relieving some capacity strains on shelters and providing a loving (if temporary) family for dogs in transition. She introduced one of the most heart-wrenching segments on the episode. Through the show, there were two segments of dogs saved, fostered, then adopted through Rescue From the Hart. The segment of 'Layla' featured on the Fox special, is on the main page of Hart and has been viewed almost 7 million times. Be warned, you will see a dog in transition from huddled on the side of the road, to being rehomed. Bring out the tissue for this one. When the clip ended, Fox showed tearful and cheering audience members.
Celsea Handler rode along with the Lucy Pet Foundation as they drove Los Angeles talking spay/neuter. Left in tact, one pair of dogs can become 67,000 dogs in six years! Each week 80,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each week! Handler did a great job creating an entertaining segment with Karen Halligan, Chief Veterinary Officer of the Foundation.
Following Chelsea was Carrie Ann Inaba, creator of the Animal Project Foundation, hosting a pre-recorded segment on the 10-year old Dog-Surf-A-Thon put on by the Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego; a fun publicity event to raise awareness of adoption and rescue. It was fun to watch some of the clips of dogs surfing.
Cesar Millan didn't miss the opportunity to make an appearance to talk about special needs dogs and brought to stage a dog in a 'wheelchair' (a rig where the dogs back end sits in a sling, and wheels are used to give the back half mobility), and Caesar's son Calvin had with him a blind dog. The dogs with needs are adaptable and just as loving as any dog.
Kathy Griffin ceased the day as only she can, to put some humor in the show, coming out wrapped in a blanket and carrying a bundle of newspapers. She directed us to the website for a list of supplies animal shelters need, before she dropped the blanket and showed off her silhouette to cheers. She then told viewers about the many dogs he has taken in, and the 'train' Eugene Bostick built to take his dogs for a walk to town, which went viral. She presented him with the Citizen Rescuer Of The Year Award. He is eighty years old, made his way to the front and gave an acceptance speech which, I believe, ran longer than the producers had planned.
One of the highlights of the show was the 'live' adoption of Archer. A family had talked about adopting a dog, gone through the application, was approved, and the parents broke the news to their children in front of the cameras! The children were elated, tears of joy flowing, the audience loved it, and it made for a great TV moment!
Dwight Yoakam then presented Emmylou Harris with the first ever resenting – Doris Day Award for her extensive work rescuing animals and for founding "Crossroads Campus" which helps dogs and at-risk kids. Rather than acceptance speech, Harris performed the song "Homeward bound" with Andra Day.
The Citizen Rescue Hero Award winner was Michael Schoepf who rappelled down an abandoned mine to save a fallen dog, took her home, attempted to find the owner, and ultimately ended up adopting her. There was a short montage of their story. Bark Avenue Foundation generously provided 5 years of pet health insurance to Schoepf for his dog Corona.
Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson both made appearances. Paula owns 3 chihuahuas. among the most common dog breed in shelters. Another music industry heavyweight was Sia introducing a long-time shelter resident and making us aware of that long time residents don't have to be "forever" residents.
The Florida Georgia Line appearance didn't come off as natural, but they introduced the winners of the Foster Organization of the Year as Dogs on Deployment. We got a brief pre recorded segment on this organization which matches temporary homes with dogs who are left behind while their owners are on deployment.
Finally, the show closed with Wings of Rescue being announced as recipient of the Transporter of the Year Award.
Overall, this was another great episode. While it was disappointing to read that the ratings weren't great, it was given a unique time slot. The increase in production value, the renaming, new presenters and award categories were a great addition. I feel the show moved a bit faster than last year (in a good way) and I can't wait to see what creators Hilary Swank and Michael Levitt have for us next year!

Strong & sustainable bamboo golf tees, the functional and environmental choice for the modern golfer. Ocean Tee donates 25% of company profits to charities involved in marine protection, specifically those targeting plastic pollution.
Ocean Tee bamboo golf tees are packaged in recyclable matchboxes that help to keep tees organised and easily accessible in your bag.
Bamboo tees are stronger and more flexible than traditional hardwood tees and are therefore significantly less prone to snapping.
Bamboo grows at an astonishing rate in a variety of habitats across our planet; complete stocks can be replenished in a matter of months after harvesting, compared to the decades taken for hardwood forests. Using bamboo where possible helps reduce the severe environmental impact of deforestation.
Ocean Tee wants to have both an immediate and long-term impact on the fight against plastic pollution and therefore will donate 25% of all company profits to selected charities to support ongoing initiatives and research. Our goal is to then re-invest surplus profits into the business to drive growth and enable future donations to increase year on year, contributing to the long term health of our marine environments. We are proud to include Surfers Against Sewage amongst our charity partners.

This summer I faced a wonderful work schedule that consisted of four days on and three day weekends…every single week. I was so excited and began imagining all of the things I could do with all of those free Mondays.
I imagined great family days at the beach. And I also imagined great days all by myself- either sitting by the ocean or lounging on my couch watching trashy reality television (obviously, you guys are all realizing by now that this is my guilty pleasure).
I had the choice to make those Mondays be ME days or to be family-focused days. Brian was approved for five days a week of summer school and Corbin had signed up to go to an art day camp.
In the end, I chose to send Brian to summer school on Mondays. But I chose to keep Corbin home on Mondays.
Corbin gets shafted with Mom-attention way more than I want to admit. He is my special, first true love, firstborn son and I shower him with love at any chance I can but I'd be lying if I didn't recognize that Brian commands attention on a whole other level.
Corbin was so excited about our "Mom and Corbin Mondays". Each Sunday night we map out what we will do. Will it be a day at the ocean or the pool? Will we hike? Will we go see a movie? He gets happy just to go to places that don't carry gluten-free choices like Dunkin' Donuts.
It was true. A lot of times we can't do that many errands in a row if Brian is in tow. And we can't lazy our way through them, grab a Coolata in the midst, and take a pause to look at all the new toys we want to add to our wish lists. We probably don't spend as much time talking and laughing with each other because I'm so hyper focused on getting through the errands without any unnecessary meltdowns.
But for Corbin to recognize that meant the world to me. Sure, it was a little sad that he realized how much more relaxed the outings were without his brother. But it was heartwarming that he could see that time together, just the two of us, no matter how it is spent is priceless.

British Ports Association: Likely Brexit Deal Looks Like 'No Deal' for Ports

The British Ports Association is calling on the UK Government to deliver on the Prime Minister's pledge of 'frictionless' trade after Brexit.
Following Monday's agreement between UK and EU negotiators on the terms of a transition deal and ahead of the EU Council meeting later this week, the British Ports Association has published a strategic report calling for a pragmatic deal with the EU on both customs and regulatory recognition that allows both British and European businesses to get their goods across borders as quickly as possible.
The report, titled A Brexit Dividend: Supporting Trade and Growth, outlines the potential opportunities for ports under a Brexit deal. However, the Association has warned that the direction of travel is increasingly heading towards a situation where border arrangements at ports will reflect 'no deal' Brexit scenario. Richard Ballantyne, Chief Executive of the British Ports Association, said:
"A potential Brexit free trade deal will be welcomed by many in the sector but this is unlikely to cover border processes. In terms of border operations the impact of leaving the Customs Union and Single Market is now fast becoming a 'no deal' scenario for ports. Indeed this means that new border controls on UK-EU trade are likely to be unavoidable and that delays at certain ports and important trade gateways are a distinct possibility.
To a certain extent the UK Government will be able to decide its own border policies but for EU ports with UK links, full frontier checks, including customs and environmental health standard checks could have a severe impact upon the UK," Mr. Ballantyne added.
The nine page report highlights the importance of the border continuing to be a tax point, rather than a check point, and notes that it is crucial to maintaining the flow of trade that any necessary checks be carried out away from the front lines. Mutual recognition of standards, scaling up Authorised Economic Operator schemes and membership of the Common Transit Convention are all important in supporting frictionless trade, according to the report.
The report also sets out the industry's position on other potential opportunities in a number of areas such as free ports, port connectivity, planning, the regulatory regime, and fisheries. The Association has pressed for regulatory review on issues such as planning rules, revocation of the soon to be introduced Port Services Regulation and a pragmatic solution on fisheries, including a continued grants scheme and management of our own quotas.
"Post-Brexit there will of course also be opportunities for regulatory adjustments to help ports grow and develop. Ports are important international and regional gateways and provide hubs for economic activity," said Mr. Ballantyne. "Once the UK leaves the EU, the Government will be able to create favourable conditions for ports to grow and develop through reformed planning rules, the removal of the EU's Port Services Regulation and a new but sustainable fisheries policy."
David Dingle CBE, Maritime UK Chairman, said:
"This report shows that there are substantial potential benefits to leaving the EU for our ports and wider maritime sector. However, in order to realise these benefits, we first need to get a deal that prevents delays and disruption at our ports.
"It is in both the UK and EU's interest to get that deal. Failure to get that frictionless deal will not only see delays and disruption at ports like Dover, Holyhead and Portsmouth, but also in the EU at ports like Zeebrugge, Calais and Dublin.
"We are also pushing for serious investment in our infrastructure. That investment is an intelligent economic move and one that needs to be made to safeguard Britain's future as an outward-looking trading hub in the wake of Brexit. By facilitating trade we will attract inward investment at our ports and breathe new life into our deprived coastal economies. In doing this, global Britain will be a success," Mr. Dingle said.
The British Ports Association represents the interests of over 100 port members, covering more than 350 ports, terminal operators and port facilities.

Reach in musicality sense, a flawless technique and a very skillful and precise method of explaining the evolution of the dance are their main characteristics. Tango for them is much more than a dance: it is a way of living that through the dance allow us to express inside of an embrace. Their research is focus in the body language. When it comes the show for them is all about improvisation! Both of them have started tango in 1998 in Argentina. In 2004 their paths crossed and they became a professional couple.

In 2015 they chose Athens as a permanent base, where they also guide regular group classes. Meanwhile, they keep on travelling around the world to expand the tango they believe in.
Their main objective is to help students understand that tango is not only a dance, but also a part of a long trip about ways of life and a deep conscience of what tango stands for and represents. For that reason, they focus of building up the inner base in their students that will gradually acquire their own tango living experience. Thispoint of view makes their classes unique.

For, as we all know, "it takes two to tango"!
Sergios "Linko" Tsagkaris is a social dancer, TDJ, and self-taught tango musician. Resident DJ in a popular weekly milonga for 2 years, he is now regularly invited to DJ milongas, festivals and marathons in Greece and abroad.
On duty, he is concentrated on the pista and plays accordingly: he's not an educator – his role is to serve the dancers. His tandas are usually very consistent, but occasionaly he's mixing up when it feels right. He prefers the rhythmic tangos of the Golden Age, but keeps an open mind.
Apart from playing the right tanda (and cortina!) at the right moment, a TDJ is also responsible for sound quality. Sergio hunts the latest CD releases for better and cleaner transfers of the old recordings. He also uses professional equipment of audiophile quality DJ soundcards, monitors, mixers, equalizers etc to guarantee great sound regardless of the venue's acoustics.
Athena has always had a very special and deep connection to music. Since a little girl she enjoyed making thematic music lists, so Tdjing came to her naturally.
She has heightened intuition and sensitivity so she easily receives the energetic vibes from the pista. She always seeks the clearest & finest sound quality for her music. Lyrics and emotions are also of great importance for her.
Athena started her journey into Tdjing somebyears ago and she has curated the music, sound and mood in several local milongas in Athens such as Milonga como Juego, Milonga Casual, Milonga Rayuela, Milonga Santa Milonguita, Milonga La Yumba, Milonga Tango Home and also in international events such as 2nd Unchained International Tango Festival, 1st Open Role Tango Marathon and others.
Yannis met Tango a couple of years ago and it was love at first sight. Led by an urge to dance more and more as he lives in an island where he only has a few chances of dancing, he started playing in local milongas. Soon together with some friends they established a local tango initiative and started their own milongas where he takes part as an organizer and TDJ. Although still a novice dancer, his passion for Tango led him to a deeper research of tango culture and music. Although he mostly prefers to dance to lyrical tangos by Carlos di Sarli or Osvaldo Pugliese, he loves keeping the dance floor full of people enjoying vivid "mainstream" tangos from the golden era.


Boil 600g baby new potatoes for 15-20 mins. Cool, then halve. Mix together 6 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 small finely diced red onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, 2 tbsp capers and 1 pack chives, snipped.
Mix potatoes and 2 x 213g cans salmon, flaked into bite-size pieces, with handful watercress. Drizzle over dressing.
Red salmon is a good source of omega-3 fats and the vitamins B3 and B12, which promote a healthy heart.
A great midweek summer supper, I also used fresh salmon.
Really good recipe, used lots of times with both tuna and salmon and a variety of salads, yummy!
I followed the advice of Lynsey and put cubes of fresh salmon in the oven for 10 mins before mixing it in with the rest of the ingredients. What I like about this recipe, and so many of the other salad suggestions on this site, is that it is so multifunctional! You can pack for a picnic, serve at a buffet, and take the leftovers to work in a tuppeware box. I think I might try a variation with fresh tuna next time.
Very quick for mid week. I used fresh salmon (cooked in the oven) and mixed lettuce from the garden. The dressing was really tasty.

healing after break up

October 19, 2006 in Healing After Break Up or Divorce
kimmie11479
I have a problem. My ex and I have been broken up for three months now. He is obviously not in love with me and I still feel the same way even after three months. I can't get over him and it's killing me inside. I can't seem to move on. What is wrong with me?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
kekep
Have you completely cut this guy out of your life?
Three months is not so much time. I think maybe you should tell us your story; we can break out the hard liquor and commiserate.
Jayar
It's NORMAL!!! It's been 3 months for me as well and I'm just starting to really feel back to myself more or less. And it only started happening after I completely gave up on a relationship or any chance of a friendship with him. Total 100% No Contact. It's the best way to heal.
Work on yourself. You'll meet the one for you!
We have mutual friends and as you all know Halloween is next weekend. We are both going to the same party. I'm so upset. I haven't cried in weeks and now it like waterfalls. As for my story it's so complicated that I don't have the energy to relieve it as this point in my life. I did give up on the relationship as well as the friendship, but not until just last night. He was very nice to me but the things he said to me were horrible and hurtful. But I listened and left crying. I accept it even though I don't want to. I will do anything to stop the pain that has overcome me. It has affected everything around me.
It's so hard to want a person to hold you and tell you everything will be ok and say they wish they could take the pain away, when that person that fought for so long for me to open up has left me in the wind.
kimmie11479 keep your head up, like Jayar says that is not much time at all! It's been 2.5 months for me and I'm just starting to realize I need to LET GO or I will never get over him. We were together 3.5 years so I really don't know how long this will last, I gave myself a timeline of 3.5 months, even made an excel spreadsheetl but you know what? Life doesn't work that way.
Do you have to go to this Halloween party? It's so hard when you all have the same friends, it''s like your ife ahs been changed, ripped apart and you had no control; and his life remains the same; same friends, same parties.
I'm facing a similar dilema, supposed to do a Habitat for Humanity gig this weekend with him and his new 'friend' and I don't know if I can do it, going to see of they have an alternate.
ebsmith1
I feel your pain. It's been about the same amount of time for me and I've stunk at NC. I contacted him today and asked what he was feeling now that we've had some time apart. I wish that I hadn't done it. I know I don't want to hear the answer but some part of me thinks it might help me heal. I doubt it will help at all, it will probably make me feel worse. Just keep plugging along and stay NC!

In the interwar period the ILO, as it established a whole set of international instruments of gendered labour policy (and was reluctant to establish others), became a key actor promoting the development of gendered global governance for a deeply divided world. In the process various actors, including those who were more or less directly represented within the ILO as well as a number of internationally active women's organizations and committees, were able, to varying degrees, to exert influence on these unfolding international policies.
This paper juxtaposes the international argument on the question of material support for (otherwise) unpaid care activities of woman workers, other women, or families with the regulation of the relationship in non-self-governing territories between subsistence labour within the 'native community' and paid work. In the industrial context, the ILO conceived of unpaid labour as a task that was not to be defined as work and was performed exclusively by women. Internationally organized women, while disagreeing amongst themselves on how to deal with women's unpaid care labour in industrial societies, were much more inclined than the ILO to conceive of domestic labour as women's work that was to be valued in some way. In contrast, the ILO and the internationally organized women readily agreed that subsistence labour, ubiquitous in non-self governing and 'special' countries and performed by both women and men, was work that was essential for the survival of 'native' populations. The International Labour Office took a leading role in promoting international labour law which sought to remould the gendered division of labour between 'native' women and men in both the subsistence economy and exploitative labour in the service of private and public enterprise.
Susan Zimmermann is University Professor of History at the Central European University in Budapest. In recent years her work has focused on the history of international labor policy and the international politics of class, gender and 'race' as pursued by various international organizations and networks in the 19th and 20th centuries.

I am still playing with turning ordinary videos into "animated paintings", trying to get a more attractive and entertaining piece out of older and sometimes less technically perfect video. As in previous pieces, the technique seems to be forgiving with close-ups, which stay sharp much better than ordinary video would, blown up as much. It allows you to pay attention to the action on the screen instead of wondering why the shot isn't in focus. The rather personal interaction between the pair of flying swans is a case in point. An added surprise was the unexpected appearance of lighting effects that were not in the original clips. Watch on the biggest screen you have available.

Q: Threading wxPython GUI? I've tried as many combination of threading  as I know.
(wxPython "Frame1" created using wxFormBuilder)
This seems like it should work but it just crashes:

Crash Dialog:
Python quit unexpectedly while using the libwx_osx_cocoau-3.0.0.1.0.dylib plug-in.

I've looked through numerous threads, read the "Non-Blocking Gui documentation". It's not clicking for me.

A: OSX requires that the GUI remain in the main thread.


The name Bearfeart comes from the ancient Norman culture that was established in Britain after the Conquest of 1066. It was a name for a person who was in the habit of going without shoes. Friars, pilgrims, and people doing penance often went shoeless. The Barford(e) variation was likely derived from one of the many places in England so named in Hampshire, Norfolk, Warwickshire and Bedfordshire.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bearfeart research.
Another 129 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1180, 1400, 1655, 1688, 1685 and 1686 are included under the topic Early Bearfeart History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Barefoot, Barfoot, Barfitt, Barfit, Barford, Barefield, Barefred, Barefoote and many more.
More information is included under the topic Early Bearfeart Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, travelling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Bearfeart or a variant listed above: James Barefoot who settled in Maryland in 1634; Thomas in Virginia in 1635; followed by another Thomas in Virginia in 1650; John in Virginia in 1634; Elizabeth settled in Maryland in 1743.
