Q: Sequelize cast column to integer in where clause Trying to cast a column inside a where clause to search for a query against. Have a difficult time finding reliable documentation on how to do this. Any ideas?
return await User.findAndCountAll({
      where: {
        [Op.or]: {
          'email': { [Op.iLike]: `%${query}%` },
          '$id::text$': { [Op.iLike]: `%${query}%` } // id is int but needs to be string for searching
        }
      },
      limit,
      offset: page * limit,
      order: [[sortBy, sortOrder.toUpperCase()]],
      raw: true,
      logging: console.log
    });

A: As @leogoesger's answer didn't work for JSONB fields in Postgres, I tried this:
    where: {
        ["data.createdAt::timestamp"]: {
            [Op.lt]: "now() - interval '3 days'"
        }
    }

Lo and behold, it produced:

WHERE CAST(("User"."data"#>>'{createdAt}') AS TIMESTAMP) < now() - interval '3 days'

Using Sequelize 5.1.0.

A: This worked for me:
Notification.findOne({ where: {
    [Op.and]: [
        sequelize.literal("cast(notify_data as CHAR) = "+game_id),
        {user: players[i].user, notify_type: type.id}
    ]
}});

Basically, sequelize.literal returns a string rather than a key-value pair, so I did a work around using Op.and which can take both strings and objects in its array

A: I think this is what you searching for:
where: {
          [Op.or]: [
            {email: {[Op.iLike]: `%${query}%`}},
            sequelize.where(
              sequelize.cast(sequelize.col('User.id'), 'varchar'),
              {[Op.iLike]: `%${query}%`}
            ),
          ],
        },

A:   order: [sequelize.col('id')],
  where:
    sequelize.where(
      sequelize.cast(sequelize.col('id'), 'varchar'),
      { [Op.iLike]: `%${filter}%` },
    ),

// matches all rows using id and fetching results in order (casts integer column to string)

Globally, specialty coffee is generally defined as "A crafted quality coffee-based beverage, which is judged to have a unique quality, a distinct taste and personality different from and superior to the common coffee beverages offered. The beverage is based on beans that have been grown in an accurately defined area, and which meet the highest standards for green coffee and for its roasting, storage and brewing." Also, to be deemed as specialty grade a coffee should receive a score of 80 and above on the 100 point scale used to rate green coffee.
By that definition, our flagship blend Super Brazil could for the most part be considered as specialty coffee, but in Australia the term has further evolved to include other distinctions such as being roasted a touch on the lighter side to highlight origin flavours as opposed to more the caramelised flavours found with more roast development. A further requirement for specialty coffee has become a complete transparency and traceabilty of details like the origin, harvest time, processing method, roast date etc. So with these developments in the coffee industry, our specialty coffee division was born not as an alternative to Super Brazil, but as an addition to our range, so that cafes we work with can offer their customers the option of the different styles of coffee that are increasing in popularity with coffee drinkers.


Jesus Christ. Alpha and Omega: The Oldest Gospel?
Among the Dead Sea scrolls, 7Q5 is the designation for a small papyrus fragment discovered in Qumran Cave 7. The significance of this fragment is derived from an argument made by Jose O´Callaghan in his work ¿Papiros neotestamentarios en la cueva 7 de Qumrân? ("New Testament Papyri in Cave 7 at Qumran?") in 1972, later reasserted and expanded by German scholar Carsten Peter Thiede in his work The Earliest Gospel Manuscript? in 1982. The assertion is that the previously unidentified 7Q5 is actually a fragment of the Gospel of Mark, chapter 6 verse 52-53. The majority of scholars have not been convinced by O'Callaghan's and Thiede's identification and it is "now virtually universally rejected".
The 7th Cave at Qumran, where 7Q5 was found.
The argument is weighted on two points.
* First, the spacing before the word και ("and") signifies a paragraph break, which is consistent with the normative layout of Mark in early copies. Secondly, the combination of letters ννησ found in line 4 is highly characteristic and may point at the word Γεννησαρετ , found three times in the New Testament.
* Furthermore, a computer search "using the most elaborate Greek texts ... has failed to yield any text other than Mark 6:52-53 for the combination of letters identified by O'Callaghan et al. in 7Q5".
* The spacing before the word και ("and") might be a paragraph break. But spacings of this width can be found in papyri sometimes even within words (Pap. Bodmer XXIV, plate 26; in Qumran in fragment 4Q122). Other examples in the Qumran texts show that the word και ("and") in many cases was separated with spacings - and this has in many cases nothing to do with the text's structure.
* Although the sequence ννησ is unusual in Greek, the word εγεννησεν ("begot") also contains those four letters. In fact, this conjecture was proposed by the authors of the first edition (editio princeps) published in 1962. In such case the fragment might be part of some genealogy.
* In order to identify the fragment with Mark 6:52-53, one must account for the replacement of original δ with τ in line 3, and, although such difference is not without parallel in ancient Greek where two similar meaning words might be confused, the suggested reading requires the misspelling of a prepositional prefix to create an unknown word.
* As the lines of a column are always more or less of the same length, it must be assumed that the words επι την γην ("to the land") were omitted, a variant which is not attested elsewhere..
* The identification of the last letter in line 2 with nu has been strongly disputed because it does not fit into the pattern of this Greek letter as it is clearly written in line 4.
* The computer search performed by Thiede assumed that all the disputed letter identifications made by O'Callaghan were correct. However, a similar search performed by scholar Daniel Wallace, but allowing other possible identifications for the disputed letters, found sixteen matches . If a computer search is performed with the undisputed letters of the fragment 7Q5 it will not find the text Mk 6,52-53, because the undisputed letter τ in line 3 does not fit to this text.
If 7Q5 were identified as Mark 6:52-53 and was deposited in the cave at Qumran by 68 AD, it would become the earliest known fragment of the New Testament, predating P52 by at least some if not many decades.
Since the amount of text in the manuscript is so small, even a confirmation of 7Q5 as Markan "might mean nothing more than that the contents of these few verses were already formalized, not necessarily that there was a manuscript of Mark's Gospel on hand". Since the entirety of the find in Cave 7 consists of fragments in Greek, it is possible that the contents of this cave are of a separate "Hellenized" library than the Hebrew texts found in the other caves. Additionally, as Robert Eisenman points out: "Most scholars agree that the scrolls were deposited in the cave in or around 68 AD, but often mistake this date...for the terminus ad quem for the deposit of the scrolls in the caves/cessation of Jewish habitation at the site, when it cannot be considered anything but the terminus a quo for both of these, i.e., not the latest but the earliest possible date for such a deposit and/or Jewish abandonment of the site. The actual terminus ad quem for both of these events, however difficult it may be to accept at first, is 136 AD."(italics his) This is long after the currently accepted date range for the composition of Mark.

Q: Powershell web status script I have a script which reads a file of URL's and then performs a webrequest to check the status and latency of a list of site portals. We present this in a html table on an internal webserver. Our urls are not very meaningful to our business users I would like to create a new column in the table which shows the name of the site (http://10.x.x.x:8080/portal would be named 'Manchester')
Preferably reading in another file of names as each line of both files will match up
I have been doing this as a vanity project when I have a bit of free time in work but have limited knowledge.
    '## The URI list to test

A: I recommend changing the source file to a CSV format that stores both the URI and the Name side-by-side.  In concept, it would look something like this:
$csvText = @"
Uri,SiteName
http://10.0.0.1/foo,Foo
http://10.0.0.2/bar,Bar
"@

$siteRecords = ConvertFrom-Csv $csvText
$siteRecords

In practice, you would use Import-Csv to get the data from your file, and then you would have access to both properties when iterating.
$siteRecords = Import-Csv -Path $pathToYourCsvFile
foreach ($record in $siteRecords)
{
    $record.Uri
    $record.SiteName
}

Q: How do I use sudo (or a sudo replacement) without ubuntu on windows 10? I am trying to use install these libraries:
git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
cd pyaudio
sudo python setup.py install
sudo apt-get installl libportaudio-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libportaudio0 libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev
sudo pip3 install SpeechRecognition

But I do not have Ubuntu, runas doesn't work either I just get the help thing for runas, I can run the runas examples though, I was able to clone the pyaudio thing, and I was obviously able to use cd pyaudio, but for the setup.py, I removed sudo, and it did something, so I'm just hoping that was the right something, but for the rest it doesn't work. Also, if I do have to install Ubuntu and dual-boot it, does it share files with windows? (Please keep in mind I am very new to programming, so I would appreciate it if you could keep your terms simple)
Thanks in advance!

A: *

*To execute commands as an admin: Right click the shortcut to cmd.exe, and select 'Run as administrator'.

*There's no git unless you install gitbash or something similar

*There's no apt-get in Windows. Get the installers for python, and pip online, and install them. (pip is included with the later python versions)

*Use pip to fetch what else you need.

A: You just need to run a console as an administrator and type all commands without word "sudo". Also there is Chocolatey package manager for Windows which works the same as "apt-get" for Linux. However, all packages that you want to install are avaliable only for Linux.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most dangerous form of skin tumour and causes 90% of skin cancer mortality1. With recurrent somatic mutations in BRAF, NRAS, KIT and NF1 among the most common genetic aberrations underlying pathogenesis of melanoma, next generation sequencing (NGS) has been an invaluable tool in helping to characterise the overall genomic landscape of melanomas.
The most frequently activated pathway in melanoma is the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, often activated through mutations in the V600 codon of BRAF (in 35–50% of melanomas) and the Q61 codon of NRAS (10–25%)2, with mutations being mutually exclusive.
Mutations of KIT are found in particular subsets of melanoma, where the mutations activate signal-transduction pathways (MAPK and PI3K) that ultimately lead to cell proliferation. Approximately 70% of KIT mutations identified in melanoma are found in exon 11, most commonly L576P (Figure 1a and 1b).
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a relatively common tumour predisposition syndrome related to germline aberrations of NF1, a tumour suppressor gene. Recent studies have additionally shown NF1 to play a critical role in somatic events in a wide range of tumours, including melanoma. The tumour suppressor function of neurofibromin is largely attributed to a small central region which comprises 360 amino acids encoded by exons 20-27a3. OGT's expert bait design offers excellent uniformity for all of these key genes associated with melanoma (Figure 1).

Talk to us about your custom melanoma NGS panel requirements and let our expertise work in helping advance your cancer research.
*The SureSeq FFPE DNA Repair Mix can only be purchased in conjunction with SureSeq NGS panels, not as a standalone product.
**Due to the presence of pseudogenes in NF1, it is recommended that an orthogonal technique is used to verify any mutations detected.


As the largest city of the Martial Numinous clan, Martial City had countless people visiting it on a daily basis. There were more than ten entrances into the city, and all of them were guarded by members of the Li family. However, it had been more than ten days. The Li family members no longer had a strict attitude towards their duties.
They were from the high and mighty Martial Numinous clan after all. There was no need for them to do chores like guarding the gates. Now, they had been sent here to guard the gates because of an audacious mortal-born.
When they heard the news, they believed that the mortal-born was already lucky enough to escape. Under such circumstances, was there any meaning to their guarding of the gates?
Therefore, when Yi Yun walked in front of a member of the Li family, all he received was a glance and nothing more.
Martial City was large and Yi Yun had taken a different entrance from the previous one he took. After he entered the city, he arrived in another city district.
Yi Yun did not know how Myriad God Patriarch had discovered him. However, after racking his brains, he believed that it was very likely the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
Yi Yun sealed the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's aura with the Purple Crystal before his trip into the city. Furthermore, he had the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book. He refused to believe that Myriad God Patriarch was still able to find him.
"I'll purchase the herbs for Wang Mu first."
The herbs that Yi Yun needed for the concoction of Wang Mu's medicine were not expensive. However, they were extremely rare. He could only buy them from a medicinal clinic of a certain scale.
The Rejuvenation Pavilion was a lot smaller than the Heaven Refinement Pavilion. There were only two attendants and there was a man that looked like a store manager behind the counter.
Yi Yun identified the manager too. He was the thin middle-aged alchemist he had encountered back at the Heaven Refinement Pavilion.
Back then, Yi Yun's appearance had not been seen by anyone from the Li family. Neither did the Li family know that the mortal-born that had failed to buy the herbs was the disguised Yi Yun. Therefore, Yi Yun continued using that disguise but he never expected to encounter the thin alchemist again.
It was no wonder the people who introduced the Rejuvenation Pavilion to him said that it was related to the Heaven Refinement Pavilion. It was actually run by the thin alchemist.
He was only an ordinary alchemist in the Heaven Refinement Pavilion but was able to open another medicinal clinic in the city under the endorsement of the Heaven Refinement Pavilion and the Martial Numinous clan.
The thin alchemist gave the list in his hand an amused look before he looked back at Yi Yun. He had a derisive smile on his face.
"What did I say the last time? You would soon realize that the Martial Numinous clan reigns supreme in Martial City. As long as you wish to buy herbs, anything precious will need to go through the Martial Numinous clan."
"Heheheheh, we meet once again. How about it? Are you going to sign the contract to serve my clan or…"
The thin alchemist raised his head as though he was looking at Yi Yun with his nostrils. He naturally felt delighted that he could smack Yi Yun in the face after such a short period of time.
Yi Yun knitted his brows slightly. "I have no interest in signing a contract! I want all the pills and herbs on this list."
"Heh heh." The alchemist sneered as he slowly twirled his thin mustache. "You should really acquiesce to something after having refused someone's first overture. If you want to buy the herbs, sure! The herbs you want to buy, especially the Autumn Pine, can only be found here or at the Heaven Refinement Pavilion. I won't beat around the bush. These things require a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus. Hand it over!"
From his point of view, a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus was an extremely precious item. Even Martial Numinous alchemists did not have one, not to mention mortal-borns.
He did not care if he could sell his herbs. All he did was to entertain himself with Yi Yun.
Although he could not identify the medicine Yi Yun wanted to create from the listed herbs, Autumn Pine was used to heal injuries. That meant it was meant to save a life and not something that could be delayed. He wanted to see Yi Yun being caught in a dilemma.
"A Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus?" Yi Yun sneered. The herbs were not even worth a tenth of a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus.
"Why? Can't you afford it? If you can't, scram. Don't obstruct my doing of business," said the middle-aged alchemist as he flapped his fan.
A Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus had been thrown onto his counter.
The middle-aged alchemist looked at Yi Yun in astonishment. He never imagined seeing Yi Yun produce one.
The punk was truly extravagant to use a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus to purchase such cheap herbs.
He did not believe that Yi Yun was a retard who would buy cheap goods at a high price. It meant that the Autumn Pine was extremely important to Yi Yun. He was likely using it to save a life.
A thought came to him as he added, "When I quoted the Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus, it was only the total price of the list of herbs. However, there is tax as well. We need to pay our taxes to the Martial Numinous clan for every sale made. The tax will also be paid by you. Add on another fifty million mid-grade Spirit Jade."
The middle-aged alchemist grinned as he stretched his hand out. He was certain that Yi Yun was wealthy and was in desperate need for the Autumn Pine. It would be going easy on Yi Yun if he did not take the chance to rip him off.
Yi Yun did not want trouble while Myriad God Patriarch was inside Martial City. However, the person's actions had reached the limits of his patience.
"Hehe, you really do have it." The middle-aged alchemist looked at Yi Yun like he was a fat lamb for the slaughter. He stroked his chin and a mental imprint landed on Yi Yun silently.
Soon, Yi Yun received a few bags of herbs.
With the herbs in hand, Yi Yun left Martial City immediately and acted anxiously.
"You sold me the herbs at a high price and even have thoughts of robbing me. Your avarice really knows no bounds."
The middle-aged alchemist roared with laughter. "It looks like you aren't that dumb. However, you discovered it too late. How dare a mortal-born like you offend me? I'll let you know what happens to those who offend the Martial Numinous clan today!"
"Rules? Those rules are meant for you mortal-borns. The death of a mortal-born means nothing here. Even if someone were to have his suspicions, they would not investigate me," said the middle-aged alchemist disdainfully.
In fact, it wasn't often that he had such thoughts. He was tempted by Yi Yun's wealth. Yi Yun was able to produce a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus and fifty million mid-grade Spirit Jade without blinking. How rich was he?
He naturally could not hold back against such immense wealth.
Yi Yun's eyes flickered with killing intent. He extended his hand and touched his interspatial ring. His voice also sounded: "It's because I felt that this place is most suitable for killing when I passed by it."
A dazzling cold glint beam lit up from Yi Yun's hand. The frost beam streaked across space and appeared suddenly before vanishing the next instant.
After the cold beam flashed, the first person that charged at Yi Yun seemed to be frozen in his place.
Immediately following that, a few heads suddenly flew out, splattering blood everywhere.
Everyone he had brought with him had been instantly killed by Yi Yun. Even the half-step Supremacy was no exception. All he managed was to react. He wanted to block Yi Yun's strike but before his parry was served, his head and body were already separated.
Just like stepping a cockroach to death was equivalent to stepping an ant to death, they did not mean anything different to Yi Yun.
The middle-aged alchemist stood rooted to his spot. His entire body turned ice cold as he stood among the corpses.
"Don't kill me… I'm an alchemist. I can refine pills for you. Besides, I'm a nephew of the Martial Numinous clan's Elder Bai… I'll return you the Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus…" The middle-aged alchemist stuttered.

Unless you are the deliverer of news, take your time to form and present opinions on the news. I learned this from Ben Thompson who is often late to the news but benefits from the more fully formed opinions of others and more complete information on the topic. This philosophy serves me well.
I interviewed Katherine Wu about regulation in crypto. We covered ShapeShift, 1broker, and the cost of regulatory grey areas.

Since the release of the movie "Twister" in 1996, storm chasing has become an increasingly popular form of recreation. Storm chasing tour agencies have emerged to provide technical assistance and guidance to individuals wishing to participate in this activity. However, little is known about the participants' perceptions of their storm chasing tours. Therefore, an Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted to examine recreational storm chasers' perceptions of 22 tour operational attributes.

Album Reviews : In Malice's Wake – Light Upon The Wicked
By Jonathon Besanko on December 5, 2015
From the opening beat, this album forcefully grabs you by the throat, glares into your eyes, and holds you there indefinitely. There are only so many ways one can try and rewrite the feeling of being completely blown away, so I'll just phrase it as such: this album is like a sledgehammer to the mind, and after you're dead drags you off to hell screaming in glee.
In Malice's Wake have entirely outdone themselves with this album. 'Light Upon The Wicked' is undeniably one of the strongest metal albums to emerge out of Australia this year, and one of the most innovative and interesting thrash metal albums of the past few years. It all flows so seamlessly, from track to track. And the sheer intensity of the record – sewn together by infectious grooves, colossal vocals, and perfectly timed solos – is quite unlike anything else I've heard this year. It reaches to Behemoth and Kreator levels of brilliance, yet always sounds distinctly as In Malice's Wake.
From the ominous and melodic "Onward Human Suffering" to "The Halls of the Damned", you're dragged along this journey by the skin at the back of your neck. But it is one hell of a ride. The combination of Leigh Bartley's leads, to Shaun Farrugia's riffs and vocals, and further yet to Mark Farrugia's monstrous drums and Karl Watterson's bass lines, it all lends itself to one of the most refined and sonically impressive albums I have heard all year. Mark Farrugia's drums are relentless and they don't allow you a moment to breathe amongst the carnage, but honestly I would have it no other way. In Malice's Wake play completely to their strengths here, and that strength comes from the ability to pull you in like a noose wrapped around your neck and to keep you there. But not only is this album utilising the band's ability to meld speed with melody, but it offers some of the darkest and most bleeding riffs you'll find this year. 'Light Upon the Wicked's' groove is infectious and this downplayed style carries this album the entire way through. But it does so brilliantly.
I can barely fault this record. If there is any thrash album you should do yourself the courtesy of checking out this year, it is this one. In Malice's Wake have returned in force with this album and they are hungry for blood. You can bet they most certainly have delivered.

'This Is Us': The Show Was Originally Titled '36', Here's Why It Changed
Sarah Little
It's undeniable that This Is Us has been NBC's biggest show in the past decade. Devoted fans have tuned in every week since the premiere in 2016 to see the Pearson family grow and endure trials and tribulations. Unfortunately, it's all coming to an end after the sixth season. But as we look back on the years spent with the Pearsons, we wonder if things would be different had This Is Us kept its original name.

'This Is Us' creator reveals the original name for the show
Per Glamour, This Is Us was not the original title of the NBC show. Dan Fogelman, the creator of This Is Us, revealed, "It was originally called 36, which is the age they're all turning at the beginning."
Fogelman added, "I didn't like it. I had done a series of movies where I had never titled them, and no one can agree on the title. I threw 36 on it, and then I never liked it. Nobody ever liked it. I came up with This Is Us, I think, when I was in editorial. I decided I liked how it looked at the beginning [of the show], and I put it in there. But, there was a lot of debate over what the title of the show was gonna be."
Titles are quite important for television shows. And we wonder if more or fewer people would have tuned in to that first episode of This Is Us had it been called 36. We'll never know the answer, but we think that This Is Us has done just fine for itself throughout its six seasons.
'This Is Us' has won many awards during its run on NBC
Throughout its five aired seasons, This Is Us has been widely celebrated by fans and television show critics. The series has received Primetime Emmys, Critics' Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and everything in between. It's safe to say that This Is Us has been a massive hit.
Sterling K. Brown's portrayal of Randall, in particular, has gained a lot of attention. The actor received an Emmy, a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Critics' Choice Award, and an NAACP Image Award for This Is Us.
After This Is Us Season 3 ended, NBC renewed the show for three additional seasons. This is quite rare in the television industry and almost unheard of. But now that This Is Us Season 6 is approaching, it's time for fans to say goodbye to the Pearsons.
Every memory we've shared has been building to this moment. The final chapter of #ThisIsUs premieres Tuesday, January 4 on @NBC. pic.twitter.com/Jn2XqaYQKA
— This Is Us (@NBCThisisUs) December 1, 2021
The show is coming to an end with 'This Is Us' Season 6
In May 2021, NBC announced that This Is Us Season 6 would be the show's last. And while some fans might be sad that it's ending, star Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Jack, believes that this is the right time to end the series.
Ventimiglia told Extra, "The opportunity to wrap things up in a very thoughtful way with purpose and intention, I think, is more important and more impactful than just kind of floundering through, having filler episodes just to fill air, to fill space. It feels like there's more intention, which feels … right, especially for the show."
The actor also believes that the ending is rather epic. Ventimiglia said, "I've got an idea of how I would want it to end, but I also know how it does end. My version is completely shadowed by how great of an ending Fogelman has come up with."
The final season of the NBC show, This Is Us, premieres on Jan. 4 at 9 p.m. ET.

The Surprising History of National Doughnut Day
Turns out, it's all about supporting our military.
By Christina Oehler
It's the best day of the year for all of the baked goods–lovers out there. It's National Doughnut Day, the annual celebration honoring our favorite delectable morning/anytime treat. But as it turns out, the tasty holiday is more than just a way for doughnut shops to promote sales—it's an American tradition dating back to World War I that once proved a little sugary goodness can go a long way. Here's a quick history behind doughnuts and National Doughnut Day:
Late 1600s: Although the origin of the quintessential pastry is unclear, the doughnut is believed to have first arrived in the 17th century from the Dutch in what's now known as the U.S.
1914 - 1918: While U.S. soldiers were overseas during World War I, women of the Salvation Army sent doughnuts abroad in an attempt to cheer up the homesick men.
1938: The Chicago branch of the Salvation Army decided to create Doughnut Day as a national holiday to help raise money for the troops.
1944: During World War II, the tradition continued, but grew in popularity when a LIFE magazine photographer captured a group of attractive young women at the Red Cross shipping doughnuts overseas. These photos were seen all over the world, elevating doughnuts from delicious treat to glamorous indulgence.
Today: Although the charitable beginnings of this tradition may be somewhat lost in the shuffle of commercialism, National Doughnut Day continues to flourish across the U.S.

The disgraced former Queens Library chief who once built a smoking deck for himself with taxpayer funds could pull down as much as $7,500 a week at a Long Island school district where he's in charge of the very budget that pays him.
And THIS is why we can't have nice things. I suffered personally from the criminality of this grifter. My local library branch was closed for what was supposed to be a year-long renovation. Because this bum STOLE millions from the library monies, the library remained closed, the front wall torn off, for several years. For several years, I had to spend additional time and gas going to other libraries to get books, all the while having to see the hacked up library building and idle work equipment as eyesores. When they finally got rid of this bum and finished the work on our library, it was a hurry-hurry rush-rush job, leaving a building with all the charm and grace of a Home Depot stockroom.
This guy is a certified criminal, yet the Long Island school district of Elmont is paying him big bucks. Just how stupid can you get? Taking bets as to whether this insane school board is comprised of dummocraps. I say it is, dummocraps with their "relaxed" morals and integrity.
DemoRat governmental thief not to mention that property owners in Nassau County pay outrageous property taxes and for what? This cretin is one of too many thieves in that corrupt system.
Tip of the iceberg. We haven't even begun to uncover the MASSIVE corruption in the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government.
What do you think these corrupt FEDERAL officials and department heads are doing with this, OUR, money? The Corrupt, Delusional Lying Leftist media will never tell you. The corruption in D.C. is MASSIVE and has not yet BEGUN to be uncovered.
Being a library manager is a great gig if you can swing it.
He obviously has "connections", and probably dirt on others doing the same thing that allows him to extort with impugnity.
Older overweight white guy already on one government 250,000.00 government pension, getting (as much as 200,000.00 more from a part-time gig with another government job?
After all, he's a member of the UniParty isn't he? The only thing yet to be determined is which branch.

Duck, duck, goose is a game that's been played by young children in school, at parties and at home with their families for generations in the U.S. Yet it's not a game distinct to the U.S. alone, and over the years more and more adults have begun playing their own variations, too. Here you'll learn the traditional version played in most U.S. states and how it's played in a few other places, too. Plus you'll discover variations for both adults and for educational purposes.
Sit in a circle. Get at least four people together, and have everyone sit cross-legged on the floor or on the ground in a circle facing one another. Two of the advantages to the game are that it can be played indoors or outdoors, and you only need players, not equipment. The size of the circle formed depends upon two factors: a) the number of players and b) how far apart each player sits.
The larger the circle, the farther players will end up running.
When 2,145 students in a Missouri school district broke the Guinness World Record in 2011 for the largest game of duck, duck, goose, they had to form a massive circle outside the fenced perimeter of their football stadium.
Decide who will be "it" first. "It" (sometimes referred to as the "picker" or the "fox") will be the person saying "duck, duck, goose" and choosing who will be the goose chasing him or her. Because kids often don't want to be "it" first, they might play rock, paper, scissors to decide. Or, if a parent or a teacher is overseeing the game, he or she might choose for the children.
Walk around the circle, tapping heads. The person who is "it" will start walking around the circle and tapping the top of each player's head, saying either "duck" or "goose." Typically, "it" taps and says "duck" several times before selecting someone and saying "goose." This creates both suspense and an element of surprise for everyone sitting in the circle, wondering if they will be the "goose."
On the flip side, because this is what most people do, saying "goose" on the second or third person is unexpected and can give "it" an advantage.
Choose a "goose" and run. At a time of his or her choosing, "it" will tap a player's head and say "goose." "It" then takes off running around the circle, and the goose jumps up and chases after "it." The goose's goal is to tag "it" before "it" is able to sit down in the goose's spot.
If the goose catches "it" before then, "it" is "it" again and another round starts.
A twist that is played a lot as standard duck, duck, goose but is actually called "mushpot" goes like this: If the goose catches "it," the goose becomes "it" and "it" has to sit out the game in the middle of the circle until another player is tagged and they trade places.
Try extreme, or boot camp, duck, duck, goose. Get together a fairly large number of people and form a circle, with each person facing outward and standing about 5 feet (1.5 m) apart while jogging in place. The youngest person becomes the picker, jogs around the circle clockwise and taps or points at each person, saying either duck or goose. If the person is called a duck, he or she must do a squat or a push-up. If the person is called a goose, he or she must chase after the picker, running counter-clockwise. When they meet, they try to block each other, therefore slowing the other down, and gaining an advantage in racing back to the empty goose spot.
If the picker gets back first, the goose becomes the picker; if the goose gets back first, the picker goes again.
The degree of physical contact in blocking, such as wrestling and tackling, is up to the group.
Here's a twist: While the picker and goose are running and blocking, any player in the circle can get up and move to the goose's empty spot, repeatedly, thus prolonging the round.
Swim to tag "it." This variation of the game would not only be fun, but it also would be a great way both to get some great exercise and to work on your swimming technique. Find a few fellow swimming buddies and meet at the pool. Get in and form a circle facing outward, with each person treading water. Choose a picker and a swimming stroke – freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. The picker then starts swimming around the circle using the chosen stroke and taps each person, saying either "fish" or "shark." The person who is called shark then swims after the picker using the same stroke.
If the picker gets back to the shark's spot first, the shark becomes the picker.
If the shark tags the picker, the picker has to go the middle of the circle and either do somersaults in the water or tread water holding a dive brick until another person is tagged.
Couple up to sing and dance. This version of duck, duck, goose would be fun for all kinds of gatherings and parties. Gather an even, not odd, number of at least 8-10 people, keeping two people out. The rest will form a circle facing inward and hold hands. The people outside of the circle are the pickers and will also hold hands. They will walk around the circle and, with their linked hands, touch the linked hands of any two people, saying either "duck" or "goose." The two people called goose must then run in the opposite direction, continuing to hold hands, and try to beat the other couple back to the geese spots.
If the pickers get back first, the geese become the pickers.
If the geese arrive first, the pickers go to the middle of the circle and put on a performance. They must either sing a song or do a dance together and then wait in the circle until another pair of geese is tagged.
If you have a karaoke machine, you could bring that along and have the geese sing a song to that.
Other possibilities include doing the Macarena, the "Gangnam Style" dance, twerking, a line dance, the twist, the mashed potato, the waltz, the tango and so forth.
Teach English while playing. For young children in the U.S. whose native language in not English, going to school can be frustrating. Here's a way to help make the transition fun, while also teaching English at the same time. Have students sit in a circle facing inward. The teacher then walks around the circle, tapping each student's head and using English vocabulary words such as "duck, duck, dog." When dog is called, that student chases after the teacher. If caught, the teacher must go again. If not, the student can take a turn as the picker, thus practicing pronunciation.
Hoot and hop to learn about animals. Before starting, the teacher should talk with students about different animals, including how they sound and how they move. Now have the students sit in a circle facing inward. Choose one child to start as the picker, only in this case the picker will be a duck and will quack and flap its wings while walking around the circle, tapping each child's head and saying "duck." Then the duck will choose another student, tap his or her head and say the name of another animal. That child will then hop up and chase after the duck, using the appropriate sounds and movements of the animal he or she was called.
If the duck is tagged before making it to the new animal's spot, the duck must sit in the middle of the circle until a new animal is tagged.
If the duck isn't tagged, the new animal then walks around the circle, tapping heads and saying his animal's name until he chooses a child, taps his or her head and calls out a new animal name, which starts another chase.
This variation is great in that it integrates dramatic and expressive play with learning.
Teach shapes, colors, numbers and themes. Using masking tape or chalk – depending upon whether you are playing inside or outside – ask your students to help you create a large circle (it's also a trick to keeping children in the area you want them). While you're doing that, review a subject or area they've been learning. Have the children sit in a circle facing inward, choose a child to be the picker and use your topic as for the basis for the words the picker will say while he or she is tapping heads. For instance, if you were going over shapes, the picker might say "square, square, rectangle." The picker will circle around, tapping heads and saying "square" until finally saying "rectangle." When rectangle is called, that child chases after the picker.
As with traditional duck, duck, goose, if the picker gets back to the vacant seat first, the rectangle becomes the picker; otherwise the picker goes again.
This can be modified for seasons of the year, characteristics of plants and trees, parts of the body, colors, elements of writing, for math, etc.
For example, if students are learning how to count, write a number on a piece of paper and put it in the center of the circle. Have the picker go around the circle tapping on each child's head, counting from 1 upward until that number is called. When it is, that child then chases the picker. This could also be done when teaching how to count by 2s, 5s and so forth.
Play Minnesota Duck, Duck, Grey Duck. Minnesotans often claim the rest of the U.S. is playing the game all wrong, that Duck, Duck, Grey Duck is the original. Whether this is true or not remains to be definitively answered. But here's how it works. Just like the "traditional" version, players sit in a circle facing inward. The picker, or "it," walks around the circle, tapping on each player's head. Only in the Minnesotan version, instead of just saying "duck," you give the duck a color. So the picker would say "red duck," "blue duck," "green duck" and the like, in whatever order they want. When "grey duck" is called, the chase begins.
Like the traditional game, if the picker gets to the grey duck's spot first, the grey duck becomes the picker. If not, the picker picks again.
Some say this version is more challenging because the players sitting in the circle have to listen more carefully to what is being called – "blue duck" versus "grey duck" is more similar than "duck" and "goose," for instance.
Also, according to a woman cited in a newspaper article, kids like to add to the suspense by drawing out the "Grrrrr" sound to keep players off guard as to whether they're going to say green or grey.
Learn the Chinese 丢手绢, or Drop the Napkin, variant. Here, the children squat in a circle facing inward, while the picker, or the "mailman," holds a napkin or a piece of material. The children begin to sing as the mailman goes around the circle, dropping the napkin behind a player's back. The singing doesn't stop. When the child realizes the napkin is behind him or her, he chases after the mailman.
If the child catches the mailman, the mailman goes to the center of the circle and puts on a performance, such as telling a joke, doing a dance or singing a song; if he doesn't catch the mailman, he becomes the mailman.
Also, if the mailman runs all the way around the circle before the child notices the napkin, the child has to sit in the middle until being replaced.
Lyrics to the song: "Drop, drop, drop the napkin. / Softly behind your friend's back. / Everybody hushes. / Quick, quick, get it!" Then repeat.
Try out the German Der Plumpsack geht um, or The Plumpsack Goes Around, version. The children sit in a circle facing inward, with one chosen as the Plumpsack, which is translated to mean policeman. The Plumpsack holds a handkerchief, walking around the circle as the children sing a song. Then the Plumpsack drops the handkerchief behind one of the children's backs while they continue singing. In this variation, if any child looks behind his or her back and the handkerchief is not there, the child has to go to the middle of the circle. When the child who does have the handkerchief behind his or her back notices, the chase after the Plumpsack begins.
If the Plumpsack gets back to the spot first, the other child becomes the Plumpsack.
Lyrics to the song: "Do not turn around. / Because the Plumpsack goes around! / Whoever turns around and laughs. / Gets a slap on the back. / Therefore: Do not turn around." And repeat.
There are similar variations across Europe and in parts of Asia and the Middle East, though the songs vary in context.
Strategically, it's to the advantage of "it" or the picker, Mailman, Plumpsack, etc. to choose a player in the circle who is a slower runner, so that the picker can get back to the vacant spot first.
A nice twist on a hot summer day: Instead of tapping each player's head, give the picker a bucket of water to dribble some on each player's head before dumping it all on the person he chooses as the goose.
You could also vary the more traditional versions by moving in different ways, such as running, skipping, hopping or crawling, instead of walking around the circle.
Be creative and come up with your own versions!
Play somewhere that has plenty of space.
If you're a parent or teacher and notice that one person is being picked as the goose an awful lot, you might need to step in and intervene.
To play Duck, Duck, Goose, have at least 4 people sit cross-legged on the floor in a circle. Then, decide who will be "it" first by rolling a die or playing rock, paper, scissors. Next, have the person who's "it" walk around the circle tapping the top of each player's head and saying "duck" several times before saying "goose." When the "goose" has been chosen, "it" runs around the circle and "goose" chases after "it." If "it" runs around and sits in "goose's" seat before being caught, "goose" becomes "it." If "it" gets caught, "it" stays "it" and another round starts. To learn how adults can have fun playing variations of this traditional children's game, keep reading!

For Okanagan philanthropist Tom Budd, talking honestly about his life and the tragedies he has experienced isn't easy.
After losing both of his sons to suicide in 2015 and 2017, he shifted his focus to mental health initiatives. It is one of the reasons he is sharing his journey of healing and hope at the Penticton Youth Resource Centre fundraiser on April 17 at Poplar Grove Winery.
"You have to be able to sacrifice a part of yourself to give to others," said Budd.
He spends a fair bit of his time attending functions, talking to groups, hosting or speaking at events, all on behalf of his work with the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation. Previously one of Canada's top investment bankers, the philanthropist said there are times he needs to step back to assess and nurture his own mental health.
"I've learned the hard way that any time you allow yourself to be as open as I want to be, or as vulnerable as I can be when I'm giving a presentation or a talk, it takes something out of you," said Budd.
Originally only supporting a sliver of mental health initiatives when he started the foundation, he has stepped up his commitment and awareness in the past year and a half.
Budd toured the new Penticton Youth Resource Centre and Foundry Penticton at 501 Main St. in early April and said it's not something he's used to seeing. The centre will be a hub of collaborative youth services and resources for youth aged 12 to 24 and their families.
He plans to detail his life story at the fundraiser event for the youth centre in a summary manner, including the heartbreak of losing his two sons.
Tickets for the fundraiser are $50 each and are available online through eventbrite.com.
The event, for people 19 years of age or older, also features singer Jessica Singleton, a silent auction and live art by local artist and co-owner of the BeeLong Gallery, Jenny Long. Attendees are encouraged to carpool as the venue features limited parking.

Q: Formatting multiple datetimes into a string I'd like to format a string with two datetimes, using a particular format.
d1 = datetime.datetime.now()
d2 = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

daterange = [d1, d2]

fmt = '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S'

I'm currently formatting the dates with strftime first:
string = "Date range: {} to {}".format(d1.strftime(fmt), d2.strftime(fmt))

Date range: 2013/02/05 12:22:12 to 2013/02/04 12:22:12

Is there a cleaner way?

A: You can supply the date format in the string itself:
string = "{0:%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S}".format(d1)

Following on from this, it's a bit cleaner if we set the format from a parameter to format():
"Date range: {0:{2}} to {1:{2}}".format(d1, d2, fmt)

And we can even pass a single date range, and get all the dates from there using 0[index]
"Date range: {0[0]:{1}} to {0[1]:{1}}".format(daterange, fmt)

We could also use named fields, for more readability:
"Date range: {dates[0]:{fmt}} to {dates[1]:{fmt}}".format(dates=daterange, fmt=fmt)

A: Consider this d1.isoformat().replace('T',' ').replace('-','/')[:-7]
isoformat() is pretty close to the format you have above. IE. 2013-02-04T23:53:45.174635
