If you're considering your very first HVAC purchase, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the information overload. The buying process doesn't have to be so complicated, and most issues can be clarified simply by asking the right questions. A qualified, reputable HVAC contractor will be happy to provide the answers. Whether you're a first-time buyer or not, here are some questions you should always pose before making HVAC purchases.
What manufacturer brands does the contractor recommend?
Like most consumer products, there are top-of-the-line HVAC brands as well as discount brands. Ask the contractor to provide information about more than one brand name and give reasons why he or she recommends one over the other.
Will a formal load calculation be performed before installing the new HVAC unit?
Never have a new central A/C or cooling system installed unless the contractor performs a load calculation to determine the exact BTU capacity of the new unit to match the specific thermal requirements of your home. Since over-sized and under-sized units typically deliver sub-standard performance, higher operating costs, and incur wear and tear faster, educated guesses or rule-of-thumb estimates aren't good enough.
What is the efficiency rating of this unit?
For air conditioners, the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) number begins at 13 for standard efficiency and rises above 20 for high-efficiency units. Furnaces utilize the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. Standard units are around 80 percent while high-efficiency condensing furnaces have AFUE as high as 95 percent. Of course, the higher the SEER or AFUE rating is, the steeper the sticker price of the unit. Energy efficiency must be balanced with purchase price to get the best deal for your home comfort needs and budget.
Will I need other work done?
Connecting a new A/C or furnace to leaky, deteriorating ductwork may not deliver the improved results you're hoping — and paying — for. Same goes for installing a new system in a home with inadequate insulation or excessive air leakage. Ask the contractor about other improvements that may be required to maximize the comfort and efficiency of the new unit.
For more answers to your questions about HVAC purchases, contact the professionals at Jackson & Sons.

Nonreligious Divinity in the Known and the Unknowable: Alan Lightman on Science and Spirituality
The Unity of the Universe: Nobel-Winning Physicist Steven Weinberg on Simplicity and Complexity, Science and Religion, and the Mother of All Questions
Physicist Lisa Randall on the Sublime and the Crucial Differences Between How Art, Science, and Religion Explain the Universe
Legendary Cosmologist Martin Rees on Science, Religion, and the Future of Post-Human Intelligence
"Fundamental physics shows how hard it is for us to grasp even the simplest things in the world. That makes you quite skeptical whenever someone declares he has the key to some deeper reality."
By Maria Popova
"We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire," trailblazing astronomer Maria Mitchell observed in contemplating science, religion, and our conquest of truth at the end of the nineteenth century. "If we ever reach the point where we think we thoroughly understand who we are and where we came from, we will have failed," Carl Sagan wrote a century later in his exquisite meditation on science and spirituality. And yet the longing for stable answers and thorough understanding — or, as Hannah Arendt memorably framed it, the propensity for asking unanswerable questions — might be one of the hallmarks of our species. After all, for as long as modern science has existed, scientists have attempted to answer such unanswerable questions by trying to either reconcile science and religion, like Galileo did in defending his theories against the Inquisition and Ada Lovelace did in considering the interconnectedness of the universe, or at least to relegate them to different realms of inquiry.
Adding to the canon of these meditations is the celebrated English cosmologist and astrophysicist Sir Martin Rees — the last European court astronomer in his position as Astronomer Royal to the House of Windsor and science adviser to the Queen of England.
Sir Martin Rees
In We Are All Stardust: Leading Scientists Talk About Their Work, Their Lives, and the Mysteries of Our Existence (public library) — Austrian physicist, essayist, and science journalist Stefan Klein's fantastic compendium of interviews, which also gave us Nobel-winning physicist Steven Weinberg on simplicity, complexity, and the unity of the universe — Rees reflects on his rather unusual entry point into the question of science and spirituality:
I was brought up as a member of the Church of England and simply follow the customs of my tribe. The church is part of my culture; I like the rituals and the music. If I had grown up in Iraq, I would go to a mosque… It seems to me that people who attack religion don't really understand it. Science and religion can coexist peacefully — although I don't think they have much to say to each other. What I would like best would be for scientists not even to use the word "God." … Fundamental physics shows how hard it is for us to grasp even the simplest things in the world. That makes you quite skeptical whenever someone declares he has the key to some deeper reality… I know that we don't yet even understand the hydrogen atom — so how could I believe in dogmas? I'm a practicing Christian, but not a believing one.
The central problem of religious dogma, of course, is that the mythology of "God" offers a single cohesive story that contends to explain all of "Creation" — a theory that claims its truthfulness not by empirical evidence but by insistent assertion. In a sentiment that calls to mind Sagan's abiding wisdom on the vital balance between skepticism and openness, Rees illustrates how the scientist regards a theory:
I find it irrational to become attached to one theory. I prefer to let different ideas compete like horses in a race and watch which one wins.
Art by Derek Dominic D'souza for Song of Two Worlds, physicist Alan Lightman's epic poem about science and the unknown
When asked whether he believes that scientists make more intelligent decisions as citizens, Rees responds:
[Scientists] bring a special perspective to things. For example, as an astrophysicist, I'm used to thinking in terms of extremely long periods of time. For many people, the year 2050 is distant enough to seem unimaginably far away. I, however, am constantly aware that we're the result of four billion years of evolution — and that the future of the earth will last at least as long. When you always have in mind how many generations might follow us, you take a different attitude toward many questions of the present. You realize how much is at stake.
With an eye to the progress and peril that human civilization has wrought, Rees considers the prospective evolutionary future of a post-human intelligence:
We humans of the present are certainly not the summit of Creation. Species more intelligent than us will inhabit the earth. They might even appear quite soon. These days evolution is no longer driven by slow natural development, as Darwin described it, but by human culture. So a post-human intelligence might be made by us ourselves. And I hope that our successors have a better understanding of the world.
Complement this particular portion of the thoroughly invigorating We Are All Stardust — which includes conversations with such titans of science as primatologist Jane Goodall, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, and geographer Jared Diamond — with Freeman Dyson on the unanswerable questions that give meaning to the universe, Simone de Beauvoir on the spiritual rewards of atheism, and Alan Lightman's poetic ode to science and the unknown.

3S WP 2013-19 Hauxwell-Baldwin – The Politics and Practice of 'Community' in UK Government Funded Climate Change Initiatives
3S / December 4, 2014
Academics and policy-makers have claimed that community has a potentially useful role to play in encouraging pro-environmental behaviour change. Yet despite a growing literature on the role of community in doing so, a critical examination of the policy context in which it is being employed towards that goal is currently lacking. This paper addresses that gap by presenting results from a qualitative case study of the UK government funded Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC). The paper highlights the conflict that exists between the instrumental application of community as a delivery mechanism for government policy on carbon management, and the normative understanding of community based on social relations and identification with place held by community members. Dominant policy approaches to carbon management focus on small scale behaviour change and the delivery of technological fixes aimed at improving carbon efficiency to passive consumer-citizens. Delivered through the LCCC, this approach ignored the normative understanding of community from consideration as a mechanism of change, and offered community members a limited and largely ineffective means by which to encourage pro-environmental behaviour change. The paper concludes with reflections on the implications of these findings on the role of community in the transition to a low(er) carbon society.

There is widespread agreement that the affluent lifestyles of the developed countries must shift towards more sustainable forms of consumption. Improving production technologies alone is unlikely to meet the sustainability challenge: attention must turn to the factors which influence and might transform consumption (demand) at the individual, household and community level. With this perspective in mind, our research includes one strand studying a range of initiatives which aim to produce more sustainable behaviours among individual consumers. A second strand of our work explores what this alternative vision might entail, and how it could be enacted by individuals and communities in search of more sustainable lifestyles.

Warning: The following post contains massive spoilers for ""Passengers"."
"Passengers" has only been in theaters for a little over a day now, but its ending has already stirred up a good bit of controversy. Most of the movie presents a serious ethical and moral dilemma for its main characters — with Jim (Chris Pratt) murdering Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) by waking her up in the middle of an interstellar space flight — but the way the story chooses to conclude hasn't been well-received by critics. Curious about the creative decisions that were made, I recently asked director Morten Tyldum if there were discussions about alternative endings for the narrative — but he explained why he feels it needed to end the way that it does.
No, to me, I think that it's important that she made that decision. I think that that's what she would have done. I think it's impossible to have experienced so much with somebody and then leave them. I don't think it's possible for her to do that, and I think she will regret that decision if she did it. It would haunt her for the rest of her life.
The film's defense for Aurora's forgiveness for Jim seems to simply be the fact that living through so much chaos brought them together — but there are still loud voices explaining why this isn't fully satisfactory, as what Jim does is entirely selfish and horrible. Of course, just because the last shot of the film paints a pretty picture for their end doesn't mean that their lives together were entirely perfect.
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt star in "Passengers."
But they both get to do what they set off to do. She set off to write a story. She thought it was different story. She had to, instead of looking outward, she had to look inward... Which I think is amazing, and he build his house, and was able to live in it... So, in many ways, they completed what they needed, and the rest I want people to imagine and talk about and it should be up to them.
"Passengers" most certainly is going to invite a lot of conversation — and we invite you to head down to our comments section below to participate in just that!

Troy Sellars of InRange has never let me down. Super customer service and quality on all my builds. Both Krinkovs had flawless functioning at Knob Creek. The RPK has a special place in the gun vault and only comes out on special occasions. Thanks again Troy, you do wonderful work!! ~Troy D.~ "Krinkfreak"
I know Troy is a top builder of Kalashnikov weapons. But he works on other weapons as well. He did a beautiful job on this Original AR10. Very professional and fast as usual. Thanks ! ~ Dan G. ~ "Timkel"
Troy is the best! I have tried other smith's but Troy is the only one that I will go back too. This SAR is a custom job. Love it to death and runs great. ~ Clayton Davis ~ "AK-O'HOLIC"
Russian Laminated Handguards, and a Form 1 Short Barrel Rifle done right. Doesn't she look good now! She stays locked up in the safe, for her own good. Call me, I want you to build another for me and need your input. ~ Bill B. ~ "AKE"
I sent Troy a rifle that had been butchered by another gun smith. Before I sent Troy the rifle I thought a restoration would be a lost cause due to the degree of damage inflicted by the original gun smith, but Troy really came through. The repairs he made were absolutely flawless and so was his rivet work. I would highly recommend Troy based not only on his skill as a gunsmith, but also because of his excellent customer service and his fast turn around. Troy was true to his word during the entire course of our deal and I could not have asked for more. ~ Josh ~ "K1196A"
Troy Sellars at InRange knows how to build the AKS-74U. I experienced very professional work, attention to detail, reasonable prices, fast turnaround and delivery date was as promised. It was a pleasure to do business with Troy at InRange. Did I also say 100% reliability and positive ejection. The AKS-74U is a very fine weapon and lots of fun to shoot. My next build will definitely be going to Troy. ~ Dan ~ "Timkel"
After being banned on one board for asking who a "good krink builder" was, I was introduced to Troy Sellars at Knob Creek. After speaking with Troy at length, I determined he was technically and tactically proficient and well versed with the AK weapon system. I decided to have him build my 5.45 Krinkov and what I have is a result of his expertise. A flawless fit and superior functioning weapon. Thanks Troy! ~ Terry ~ "Treadmarks"
Troy, Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my Krinkov you built for me. The gun functions like a dream. ~ Jim ~ "Augydog"
Troy, I just wanted to stop and say thanks for your recent addition to my collection. The workmanship that went into my most recent addition is unbelievable. The attention to fit, form and finish makes this AK74 one of the most prized in my collection. The pride in your work shows and I plan on "spreading the word". The ease in which you communicate, and the delivery on time make you and your operation a shining star in today's time.Enclosed are a few images of that Bulgarian 74 and I just wanted you to know how thankful I am. Keep up the great work and I'll be doing business with you again very soon. ~ Drew ~ "Hbarski"
I can't say enough good things about Troy, and the folks at InRange C2. I knew that I wanted some custom 74s, but finding someone to complete the task was difficult. This is when I ran across Troy at InRange . Once I spoke with him on the phone I knew that he took pride in his work, and keeping his word. (yes, you can actually speak to him on the phone!) When the completed gun came back (a short wait mind you), I knew that I had made the correct choice. The gun was exactly what I wanted! Fair price, honest completion time, and excellent work, what more could a person ask for! Troy will be doing my next 2 projects for me! Thanks guy! ~ Barry ~ "Rotdorn"
Troy, just wanted you to know how pleased I am with the recent addition to my collection. This weapon is absolutely beautiful. Your attention to detail is beyond reproach. I can't believe how smooth the action is when racking the bolt...If I didn't know any better, I'd swear it was a Galil !! Thanks again for all you do at In Range. ~ Troy D. ~ "Krinkfreak"

Brendan Kelly (, * 20. Mai 1946 in Ballinakill, County Galway) ist ein irischer Geistlicher und emeritierter römisch-katholischer Bischof von Galway and Kilmacduagh.

Leben
Kelly besuchte die Craughwell National School und das St. Mary's College von 1959 bis 1964. Danach wechselte er 1964 an das St. Patrick's College in Maynooth, wo er römisch-katholische Theologie studierte. Kelly erreichte den Bachelor of Arts und den Bachelor of Divinity. Danach studierte er am University College Galway. Am 20. Juni 1971 empfing Kelly durch Bischof Michael Browne das Sakrament der Priesterweihe für das Bistum Galway inkardiniert. Kelly war später in Kinvara als Kuratus tätig und unterrichtete von 1972 bis 1980 am Coláiste Einde und von 1980 bis 1986 am Our Lady's College in Gort.

Why is English pronunciation so confusing?

One of the things that English language learners find the most difficult is pronunciation—a lot of words are pronounced completely differently than they're spelled. Why is that? Well, it has a lot in common with goulash.
So, in the 1st century the Romans invaded Britain and brought paved roads, togas, and the Roman alphabet. For the next millennium, Latin mixed with the languages of the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings, depending on who was invading or ruling. But 1066 rolled around and the Normans (modern day French) invaded Britain as they usually do—with style. French became the language of the ruling classes and replaced English, but the common people continued to speak their native language. This can be seen in words like sheep and cow which are Anglo-Saxon, but meat from these animals (mutton and beef) are French. French was the longest staying foreigner and is responsible for pushing out hard Old English sounds for softer sounds. It also made it next to impossible to spell words as people hear them.
Though the British later told the French to go home, they decided the language was pretty enough to keep. From then on, English began to get new words by gathering different exotic words from its colonies (e.g. bungalow, zebra).
And this is where the English pronunciation terror begins. There are several processes where one language borrows words from another: 1) you change the spelling in your alphabet to pronounce the word closest to the original way, 2) you keep the original spelling, but change the pronunciation that suits your language, 3) you adapt the word into your own language, changing the pronunciation and spelling, but keeping the meaning, or 4) you keep the original spelling and pronunciation. There's also a 5th way—you can do whatever and hope for the best.
English speakers began to naturally change pronunciations that turned out to be just too hard to say over a cup of tea without spitting crumbs everywhere. Actually, so many people began to pronounce things differently and mix all the language systems, that the event got its own name—The Great Vowel Shift. It carried on from the 15th-18th century and no one really knows why. But the cherry on top was also the fact that spelling wasn't standardized yet so printers and writers basically spelled words however they wanted to, adding and deleting letters as they saw fit, and everyone just had to deal with it. Either they were influenced by their native languages (Dutch printers thought gost looked a little pale so they added a letter and now we have ghost) or by whatever the craze was. For example, when the Classical period made Latin and Greek fashionable again, spelling also changed to make words classy (e.g. Feverere changed to February, receyt to receipt, and asma to asthma).
It was an American, Noah Webster, who finally decided that spelling needed to be standardized. He also wasn't super crazy about Americans learning from British books, so he created an American spelling and grammar book that settled the debate on how words should be spelled. The British, unimpressed, patriotically kept to their own spellings so that no one would ever accidently mistaken them for Americans. This is why, for example, the British write colour, favour, and centre while Americans write color, favor, and center to this day.
All of this won't make English pronunciation any easier, but at least you'll know who to blame for all your difficulties (basically everyone in the world).
Fun fact: If you want to hear what Old English sounded like before the French showed up, you can listen to modern Icelandic. These two languages are very similar!

Unfortunately, unlike 'traditional' bullying that took place (and still does) in the playground, cyber and text bullying can continue long after schools have closed their gates.
Young people's internet survey facts...
Are you fed up of being lectured by teachers and carers about using the internet safely? OK - fair enough! Here's some straight facts from a survey of over 3000 year 6 pupils from Leicestershire in 2018.
60% of year 6's and spend more than 2 hours online a day

How...?
Bullying on the Internet can happen in three ways:
By using e-mail
By targetting someone deliberately through the use of social networking sites
By somebody setting up a site with the intention to 'victimise' an individual or group of people
Some advice for children and young people:
Do not open a message from any name that you do not recognise.
Tell an adult if you keep getting messages from names that you do not recognise.
If the sender is known to you and has sent messages that have upset you in the past - ignore any new messages but tell an adult about it.
Do not share your e-mail with anybody other than those you know very well and can trust.
Do not give personal information - address, telephone, your school or your real name.
Do not send your picture to anyone that you do not know very well.
Website Victimisation
Some advice for pupils, young people and parents:
Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and notify them of the problem. The person responsible for the site then can then hopefully be traced.
Inform the Headteacher, especially if it is discovered that the site has been created by another member of the school community
Do not give your mobile number to anybody other than those you know very well and can trust.
Tell someone else about it - a teacher, parent, peer supporter.
Mobiles and SIM cards can now be bought fairly cheaply - if you get abusive messages, it may be an option to get another phone or SIM card rather than continue to use one that can cause distress. Don't reply to any nasty messages.
Try to keep all of the messages in your phone as it can be use as evidence. If you can't then note the dates and times and content of text messages.
Inform the Police - first you may want to talk to others you know you can rely on for support. Think about whether you want to talk to a member of your family, a teacher or someone else first? These and many more adults will be there to offer support for you to approach the Police.
When you do notify the Police - make sure you have a written record of dates, times and content of messages, especially if you have not been able to store the messages on your phone.
Sending threatening or bullying text messages is a criminal offence that the Police recognise as a crime.
Online Safety and LGBT young people
The internet gives young people unprecedented opportunities to engage with the world around them and interact with one another. The internet also plays an increasingly important part in young people's education and learning, something which many schools have been quick to grasp. For some young people, such as many lesbian, gay and bisexual people, the internet also provides a way to reach out to others having similar experiences to them, and can be a source of hope for young people who are having a hard time at school.
Unfortunately, as we're increasingly aware, the internet has a darker side. Young people are encouraged to develop an overly sexualised view of relationships as a result of the widespread prevalence of pornography and many young people are creating sexual images of themselves. Other young people find themselves on the receiving end of homophobic abuse online or at risk of exploitation from predatory adults.
The risks for lesbian, gay and bisexual young people can be more pronounced, either because they aren't given e-safety information which explicitly addresses their concerns in school or because they're scared to raise worries for fear of being judged about their sexual orientation. That's why Stonewall written the guide below, to help parents and teachers take the very simple steps to make their e-safety work relevant to all young people, and highlight how the best schools are already doing just that.

Capitalism is a contested term, both in the modern world and in historical studies; different theoretical traditions understand it in radically different ways and, hence, disagree both as to its utility in analysing the ancient economy and as to the meaning and significance of a claim that classical antiquity was in any sense capitalist. These questions overlap with other major debates in ancient economic history. This article identifies the theoretical issues and debates involved in the use of the term, rather than engaging with substantive questions about the nature and development of the ancient economy.Capitalism is a term freighted with heavy ideological baggage; its meaning and significance is disputed in the modern world, and the question of whether or not it is a useful or appropriate term for understanding classical antiquity is inextricably entangled with broader debates about the nature of the ancient economy and how it should be studied. A typical dictionary definition of the term is "an economic system characterized by private or corporation ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision rather than by state control, and by prices, production and the distribution of goods determined mainly in a free market"—contrasted with systems of .
economy, Roman
Annalisa Marzano
The Roman economy was preindustrial, and most of the population was engaged in agricultural production. Agriculture and household production were salient features of the economy, along with urbanization, taxation, market exchanges, and slavery. Roman economic history is usually divided into three major chronological periods: the Republic (509 bce–31 bce), the principate (31 bce–c. 284 ce), and the late empire (late 3rd–6th centuries ce). The Republican period was characterized by significant territorial expansion and the acquisition of vast amounts of wealth in the form of booty. The principate is when one can consider economic developments in Roman Italy and the provinces and investigate the empire as an economic system. The late empire was marked by increasing state interventionism.By "Roman economy," we refer to the economic system created by the geographical expansion of the political power of Rome in the Republican era and maintained until its gradual transformation in late antiquity. As in all other preindustrial economies, .
artisans and craftsmen
Cameron Hawkins
The social worlds of artisans and craftsmen were structured around skill on both conceptual and practical levels. On a conceptual level, artisans employed skill (τέχνη / ars) as a crucial component of the identities they constructed for themselves—identities that differed distinctly from perceptions of artisans among the elite, who dismissed most craftsmen as "base" manual labourers. On a practical level, the importance of apprenticeship as a tool for the acquisition of skill had a profound impact on the social profile of artisans and craftsmen: while it ensured that skill could be acquired by both free and enslaved artisans, it limited opportunities for women and for children born into households of low economic status. From an economic perspective, the small workshop remained the backbone of artisanal production. The ubiquity of small workshops in the economy can be explained best as the product of artisans' efforts to respond to the risks created by product markets in which demand was inherently seasonal and uncertain. With some exceptions, artisans sought to mitigate their exposure to risk by minimizing fixed costs, while nevertheless preserving the ability to expand their output in periods of elevated demand. This was true even in industries that fostered specialization in discrete and technically demanding stages of a vertical production process: in these industries, artisans typically coordinated their production not within integrated firms, but rather within subcontracting networks.
Helen King
Almost all information about women in antiquity comes to us from male sources. Some women could read and write (see literacy), at least to the level needed for their role as guardians of the *household stores (e.g. Xen.Oec. 7.5 and 9.10; see housework), but, although there are many references to literary works by women, very few texts survive. The known exceptions to male authorship include women poets (e.g. *Sappho, *Corinna, *Erinna, *Nossis, Sulpicia (1 and 2)), early philosophers (e.g. *Hypatia; some Hellenistic pamphlets are attributed to Pythagorean women; see women in philosophy), personal letters from women, and the 5th-century ce travel diary of Egeria (*Itinerarium Egeriae). Many attributions to women are problematic. Were women's letters written by scribes? Is a text ascribed to a woman simply in order to attack a man (e.g. Aspasia's alleged authorship of *Pericles(1)'s speeches)?The central source problems, and the strategies developed to overcome them, underpin the large amount of work on ancient women produced since the 1980s.

Mata Jr. from National Sawdust on Vimeo.
MATA presents its third annual MATA Jr. Festival in conjunction with the Kaufman Music Center's teen new-music ensemble Face the Music. As a part of the festival, seven young composers selected from a global call-for-submissions were paired with MATA alumni composer-mentors Žibuoklė Martinaitytė, Sam Pluta, and Alex Weiser and asked to write new works for ensembles ranging from trio to full orchestra.
This program is supported in part by the ASCAP Foundation and Bernstein Family Foundation.

About the Groups
Praised for "stunning performances" by The New York Times, Kaufman Music Center's Face the Music is the only youth ensemble in the country devoted solely to the music of living composers: an ensemble and collective music-making program where young and committed musicians use the music of today as a vehicle to explore collaborative decision making and develop leadership skills.
Drawing more than 200 students from the New York region, Face the Music encourages and empowers young musicians to contribute to the vibrant texture of the contemporary music scene. Now in its twelfth season, Face the Music has played at venues such as Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Roulette, BAM Café, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, the Bang On A Can Marathon, and has worked with musicians such as the JACK Quartet, Alarm Will Sound, David Robertson, and Vijay Iyer.
MATA Jr.
Founded in 2014 as the educational arm of MATA, MATA Jr. pairs pre-college composers selected from a free, global, call for submissions with emerging composers in a six-month mentorship program to create new works for performance by a teen new-music ensemble. While there are many programs that aim to assist young composers, MATA Jr. is unique in that all parties benefit from a collaborative learning process in which all participants are both teacher and student.
Hailed as the "leading showcase for vital new music by emerging composers" (The New Yorker), Music at the Anthology's (MATA) mission is to present, support, and commission the music of young and emerging composers, regardless of their stylistic views or aesthetic inclinations. Founded by Philip Glass and others in 1996, MATA has since developed into the world's most sought-after opportunity for young composers.
MATA's festivals and events are critically acclaimed and broadly respected: The New York Times has called it "nondogmatic, even antidogmatic;" The Wall Street Journal said that it "tells us a lot about how composers are thinking now." Composers that have been presented by MATA early in their careers include future Rome, Alpert, Takemitsu, Siemens, and Pulitzer Prize-winners, Guggenheim Fellows, and Macarthur "Geniuses." In 2010 MATA was awarded ASCAP's prestigious Aaron Copland award in recognition of its work.

One of my great delights is skills development in groups. Group work is invaluable when it comes to learning soft skills. We learn from each other and from sharing, just as much as we could possible learn from theory.
And yet, you know, even with soft skills there is a lot of really helpful theory and proven good practice. And it is great to share these ideas.
I love creating experiential training sessions, that help people get really curious about themselves and brave about tackling difficult situations differently.

Q: Dealing with errors when looping through a list I am having trouble handling errors when iterating over a list as the title states. I am storing a list of IPs in the ipSrcList and iterating over them to check if they have any data in the geoIp2Database. Issue is it iterates over an ip that's not in the db it breaks the program and I am attempting to learn how to handle that error so it continues to iterate and return the data needed.
def getGeoIp(ipSrcList):

    reader = geoip2.database.Reader('./GeoLite2-City.mmdb')
    for ip in ipSrcList:
        try:
            response = reader.city(str(ip))
            end

        except ValueError:
            print(f'{ip} not found in the databse')

    print(response)
    return response

Here is the error I am receiving
228, in _get
    raise geoip2.errors.AddressNotFoundError(
geoip2.errors.AddressNotFoundError: The address <IP ADDRESS HERE> is not in the database.

The issue is that the program should continue to iterate through the list until all are iterated.

A: You have
try:
    # Do some work
except ValueError:
    # Handle the exception of type ValueError or any of its sub-classes.

The problem is that the code is raising an error of type geoip2.errors.AddressNotFoundError, which is a subclass of RuntimeError, not ValueError.  (ValueError and RuntimeError are both subclasses of Exception.)
If that doesn't make it clear to you, then read up on Python exception handling in the Python documentation or your favorite Python book.  Here are the key points from the Python docs:

Then if [the error's] type matches the exception named after the except keyword, the except clause is executed, and then execution continues after the try statement.

A class in an except clause is compatible with an exception if it is the same class or a base class thereof (but not the other way around — an except clause listing a derived class is not compatible with a base class).

Pham on Implications of US Airstrikes in Somalia
Al Arabiya quotes Africa Center J. Peter Pham on possible ramifications of the death of the leader of the militant organization al-Shabaab:
Besides the risk of fragmentation and internal conflicts tearing al-Shabaab apart, the new leader may also not be able to step into the shoes of his former boss well, said J. Peter Pham, an expert on African security at the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.
"In extremist groups such as al-Shabaab the elimination of any one person is generally not dispositive; he will simply be replaced sooner or later," Pham told Al Arabiya News.
However, Godane's ruthless and "autocratic" six-year rule – according to the testimony of former Godane loyalist and presumed successor Ibrahim al-Afghani, who was then killed a month later by Godane's elite "Amniyat" internal security service – could prove an exception, said Pham.
Due to Godane's intolerance for dissent and his wiping out all rivals and internal opposition, the late leader's "modus operandi" left the group more susceptible than it need be, he said.
"The successor [Umar] his loyalists have scrambled to appoint has neither Godane's stature as a veteran militant nor some of his rivals' clan networks," Pham added.
The new change of leadership presents Somalia's government with an opportunity to act against the group, having already made overtures toward future actions including amnesty for fighters, Pham said.

But not taking on new commitments because apparently I have no idea when my truly horrible days will occur and they tend to spread a bit, wearing off a few days later.
That said, my grandfather is going to be getting medical bills soon for my grandmother and a kind person set up a gofundme to help defray expenses. That's here.
That said, on a more funnish front, I've been eyeing some treats I never got written due to my life going south in a bad way that I might sit down and finish. Would anyone be interested in an anonymous AO3 collection, like Happy Belated Treatmas, with work reveals on New Years and author reveals a week later? There was some sort of collection like that a year or two or ago and I like the idea of treating people with a tiny (emphasis on tiny) bit of structure but no pressure since it's a late treat and the recip isn't technically waiting on it.
I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time watching World of Dance and The Voice because apparently I cannot brain while grieving and that's about my level. But I'm in love with Charity and Andres and really, the creative advice is good for writers too if you pay attention.
And I've been conlanging again because of course the right kind of comfort is untangling how diphthongs fit into a vowel inventory in light of sound change and I decided somewhere along the way I couldn't make a proto-language without knowing how the vowels changed over time (this is actually true) and that I couldn't make related languages without making a proto-language (this is debatable but true if I want an even remotely good one) and most of all that I needed to flesh these languages out at all to write the stories where they appear (this is likely completely false). But whatever. I do seem to enjoy the exercise, and there are worse hobbies to have even if it's an extraordinarily unproductive one for me, considering how much energy and time I have to put into it and how many people aren't waiting on any finished product.
Hope everyone is doing better than I am right now. Love you all and thanks for all the well wishes you've sent, the good thoughts, and for being so kind about my lurking generally non-communicative state.


A question about keeping tires shiny. In the past, I have used armor all to shine my tires, but the alcohol in the armor all dries them out. I was told that Vaseline was a great alternative. While Vaseline does in fact keep them shiny, it creates another problem: it attracts dirt like no other.
Are there any other solutions to keeping your tires shiny without drying them out?
Thanks for the tip! Have you used this Spray in the past? How has it worked for you?

For both men and women, having a rare sleep disorder and managing its treatment is a challenge. But for women, it can be especially complicated. As they make decisions about contraception, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other issues unique to women, they must also take into account how the symptoms of their sleep disorder and the medications they take for it might affect these choices.

Q: Mutating state from React's useState hook Is it, and why is it a bad idea to mutate a state from React's new useState hook? I found no info on the topic.
Consider following code:
const [values, setValues] = useState({})

// doSomething can be called once, or multiple times per render

const doSomething = (name, value) => {
  values[name] = value
  setValues({ ...values })
}

Note the mutation of values. Since doSomething can be called more than once per render, doing this would not work because of the async properties of setState:
const doSomething = (name, value) => {
  setValues({ ...values, [name]: value })
}

Is the approach of mutating values directly the correct one in this case?

A: You should never mutate state directly as it might not even cause a re-render if you update the state with the same object reference.

const { useState } = React;

function App() {
  const [values, setValues] = useState({});

  const doSomething = (name, value) => {
    values[name] = value;
    setValues(values);
  };

  return (

 doSomething(Math.random(), Math.random())}>
      {JSON.stringify(values)}

  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

You can give a function as first argument to setValues just like you are used to in the class component setState, and that function in turn will get the correct state as argument, and what is returned will be the new state.
const doSomething = (name, value) => {
  setValues(values => ({ ...values, [name]: value }))
}

const { useState } = React;

function App() {
  const [values, setValues] = useState({});

  const doSomething = (name, value) => {
    setValues(values => ({ ...values, [name]: value }));
  };

  return (

 doSomething(Math.random(), Math.random())}>
      {JSON.stringify(values)}

  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

A: Basically I would avoid mutating state in such way simply for the sake of purity.
However, I would argue that in this case it is perfectly fine. When you mutate a value in an inner level in the state it goes unnoticed by React. Only when calling setValues() with a new reference React notes to itself that a new render is pending.

const { useState } = React;

function App() {
  const [values, setValues] = useState({ num: 0 });

  const handleClick = () => {
    doSomething();
    doSomething();
  }

  const doSomething = () =>
    setValues((values) => {
      values.num += 1;
      return { ...values };
    });

return (

    {JSON.stringify(values)}

);
}

ReactDOM.render( < App / > , document.getElementById("root"));

(If anyone can provide a counter example I would love to see it).

This Castelló manor house dating back to the 18th century hosts what is perhaps the most important collection about the professions and way of life of the city in the 19th and 20th centuries, consisting of more than 2,000 pieces, instruments and tools. In addition, it is an iconic building, since on 21st December 1932, the 'Normes de Castelló' were signed here, providing the bases for the unification of the Valencian orthography.
Normes de Castelló o Normes del 32
Cultural Heritage Site
Since 1931, the Castellon Society of Culture was headquartered in the Matutano House, and outstanding representatives of different Valencian cultural entities, such as Maximià Alloza, Salvador Guinot, Josep Pascual Tirado, Joan Baptista Porcar, Lluís Revest, Ángel Sánchez Gozalbo and Enric Soler Godes, among others, met around its table on 21st December, 1932. They agreed and approved the bases to unify the Valencian orthography, known as "Normes de Castelló" or "Normes del 32". The purpose of these Rules was to set an equidistant orthographic model between cultural and popular literature and facilitate the use of our language.
