01) FCC Mysteriously Delaying Implementation of Net Neutrality Repeal (It's Not Dead Yet)
"April 23rd was supposed to be the first official day when the FCC's repeal of net neutrality went into effect, but mysteriously enough, the FCC is actually—intentionally—delaying their own repeal, and it has yet to be posted to the Federal Register. So while this is technically good news because net neutrality is still alive and well, it's bad news because this delay is possibly being done to give ISPs more time to defeat momentum for net neutrality laws at the state-level.

I'm Your Number One Fan [Controversial documentary about stalkers]…
01) Controversial documentary about stalkers – I'm Your Number One Fan
"I'm Your Number One Fan is a controversial documentary from 1996 that has attracted a cult following in the UK. It features Blue Tulip Rose Read who stalks Mike Read (at the time a famous DJ). The documentary is centered around the point of view of the stalker and includes German doctor Klaus Wagner, who believed that Princess Diana was at the heart of a hate campaign by the Queen. It includes an opening sequence shot on Super 8 film that led to UK film critic Victor Lewis Smith stating that it "transcended the documentary format".
After being broadcast in the UK, The Evening Standard newspaper began selling Mrs Read T-shirts and the writers of the comedy series, The League of Gentlemen, featured quotes from Blue Tulip in Royston Vasey newspaper signs in various episodes of the first series of the show. The writing on these signs include "Ed Stewart's breath stinks", "Mike Read's breath is beautiful" and "Mike Read made me better".

Paraphrased: Stalkers are relating not to you…but to some disordered fantasy of you"…
If you think that stalkers of MAPs are so different from what you see here…I've got news for you…
…This sort of distorted obsession, quickly ramping up to hostile aggression and terroristic threats, is typical for stalkers of MAPs.
…They're detached from reality…curiously, often obese…[and, no…they're not the "fat n happy" type]…and desperately trying to scrape anything together in their life, at all, to mentally drag themselves to some state where their life has meaning.
It's all about them…and the shortcomings in their own lives.
…It's never actually about the individual MAP(s) they target, threaten and abuse.
Many of them are in desperate need of attention and affection, themselves…but they're not getting it…and they take this [along with any other psychological baggage they have] out on MAPs.
"A delusion is not an opinion about the world…It's not a judgement about the world…It's absolute, incontrovertible, fixed "knowledge" about the world…Someone with a delusion "knows"…Anything you tell them, clearly cannot change it…Because you must be mistaken…They have the absolute and certain knowledge…which is a delusion."
This is why it feels like repeatedly slamming your head against a brick wall, whenever you attempt to have a coherent discussion with them.
"For most stalkers…the telephone is the most common way of intruding."
I've had a few of these nut cases over my lifetime…and, yes…they like to call on the telephone…quite a lot.
They think this is intimidating.
"I think that, violence is imminent in stalking…because the stalker is inevitably frustrated…the stalker inevitably is brought up against the limitations of reality…And that can produce anger…and anger can lead to threats and violence."

Sea Shanties - Printable Lesson & Quiz
Sea Shanties - Vocabulary Worksheet
Sea Shanties - Audio
http://dreamreader.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/seashanties.mp3
A sea shanty is a song sung by sailors at work aboard a ship or boat. The word "shanty" probably comes from the French word "chanter", which means "to sing". Sea shanties have been sung since as far back as the 16th century. However, there is no further mention of them in history until the 19th century.
Sea shanties were not sung merely as a form of entertainment. They were important for helping sailors to coordinate all their actions together at the same time. For example, the "short drag" shanty was used to give the sailors a rhythm for when they unfurled the sails. This helped to keep the crew safe, especially in rough seas.
Other shanties were developed for different tasks. The "long drag" shanty helped teams of sailors keep working together at tasks that took a long time. These shanties told the sailors when to pull together and when to take a break. This kind of shanty was often sung when pulling or lifting heavy ropes to lift or lower a heavy sail. One famous long drag shanty was called "Blow the man down".
Not all sea shanties were designed for work. Whaling shanties were sung to keep men's spirits high on the whaling boats. Life on a whaling boat was often unpleasant and dangerous. Sailors on these boats could be away from home for several years. Many started to feel down because of these hardships. Whaling shanties were often about coming home after a long tiring voyage and the difficulty of being on a whaling ship.

This Year's Patriots Are Almost On Pace To Be The G.O.A.T.
Oct. 23, 2015 , at 10:15 AM
Filed under Football
LeGarrette Blount of the New England Patriots runs for a 38-yard touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Patriots won 34-27.

Once again, the New England Patriots find themselves atop the NFL heap: 5-0 so far this year with the league's best points-per-game margin. Las Vegas oddsmakers consider New England far and away the best team in football. Excellence isn't unfamiliar for the Pats; just last month, we anointed their 2007 squad1 as the best single-season team in NFL history. But this year's version is also one of the greatest teams in NFL history — through a season's first six weeks.
Of course, that last qualifier is important; the Patriots aren't even a third of the way through their schedule, and you don't win any prizes for being really good going into Week 7. On the other hand, the Patriots are really, really good.
We can measure this using Elo ratings, one of our favorite metrics for ranking football teams. You can read the fine details of how they work here, but in a nutshell, Elo assigns each team a strength rating based on how likely it thinks that team is to win games in the future. The ratings are simple — their only inputs are the score, strength of opponent and location of each game — but they're also predictive and self-correcting, so a team's strength estimate is constantly evolving.
And in the case of the 2015 Patriots, that rating is ridiculously good. Through the first six weeks of an NFL season,2 only three teams have ever possessed a higher Elo rating than New England's current mark of 1736:
ELO AFTER 6 WEEKS
1 Chicago Bears 1986 6-0 1756
3 New England Patriots 2007 6-0 1748
5 San Francisco 49ers 1990 5-0 1734
6 Green Bay Packers 2011 6-0 1728
7 Denver Broncos 1998 6-0 1724
8 Chicago Bears 1943 5-0-1 1718
9 Pittsburgh Steelers 1979 5-1 1717
10 Dallas Cowboys 1994 4-1 1716
11 Miami Dolphins 1973 5-1 1714
12 New England Patriots 2004 5-0 1714
13 Canton Bulldogs 1923 6-0 1714
14 Green Bay Packers 1963 5-1 1713
15 Philadelphia Eagles 1950 5-1 1711
18 Minnesota Vikings 1970 5-1 1707
20 Chicago Bears 1934 6-0 1698
22 Los Angeles Rams 1968 6-0 1697
23 Indianapolis Colts 2005 6-0 1697
25 Cleveland Browns 1951 5-1 1693
I wrote three weeks ago, when they were 3-0, that this year's Pats were unlikely to match the 2007 team's 16-0 regular season record … and they still aren't. (New England has roughly a 7 percent chance of going undefeated now.) But the Patriots are within striking distance of where the '07 Pats were at the same point that season, and that ought to strike fear in the hearts of New England's remaining 11 opponents.
CORRECTION (Oct. 23, 10:50 a.m.): An earlier version of a table in this article listed the 1950 Philadelphia Eagles twice. One of the entries, which represented the Elo of the Eagles after five games, was incorrect and has been removed. The teams below that entry have each been moved up a slot, and the 2011 Patriots were added to the list as the 25th team.
CORRECTION (Oct. 25, 1:25 p.m.): An earlier version of this article gave an incorrect record for the 1931 Green Bay Packers through the first six weeks of the season. The team was 6-0, not 7-1. The Packers' Elo through those six weeks was too low for them to be in the top 25, so we have removed them, moved the teams below up a slot, and added the 1951 Cleveland Browns.
Unbeaten in the regular season.
Which technically encompasses only five games for the Patriots, because they had a bye in Week 4.

Ariz. governor considers changing immigration law
With the Statue of Liberty behind them, a coalition of immigrant groups and their supporters march in the hundreds across the Brooklyn Bridge, Thursday July 29, 2010, in New York.

ASSOCIATED PRESS | AP
PHOENIX (AP) – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is asking legislators to consider whether they should change the state's immigration law in the wake of a judge's ruling blocking enforcement of parts of it.
Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman confirmed Friday that the governor called top legislative leaders to broach the possibility of changing provisions of the law on Thursday, a day after U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction putting on hold parts of the new law that would have required officers to dig deeper into the fight against illegal immigration.
Senseman said the possibility of having legislators meet in special session to consider changing the law is merely being explored. He said Brewer is still pressing ahead with her appeal of Bolton's order.
"The governor believes that the law is constitutional and she is obviously going to pursue the appeal," Senseman said. "What she is looking at are legislative improvements that can be made … given the current ruling for an injunction."
"It's very preliminary," he said. "There is no specific language or proposal."
Senate President Bob Burns, R-Peoria, said he'd need to know a lot more "of the political and legal ramifications" before he supports holding a special session.
"Benefit has to outweigh risk," he said, adding that he suggested to Brewer that staff attorneys and other aides begin exploring the possibility of making changes.
The Legislature's next regular session starts in January.
Even though the law's critics scored a huge victory with the decision, passions among hundreds of immigrant rights supporters flared at demonstrations near the federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix after the law took effect Thursday.
Protesters blocked the entrance to a jail run by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has taken an aggressively stance toward immigration enforcement. Sheriff's deputies in riot gear opened the large steel doors leading to the building and hauled off those who didn't move. In all, police working the daylong protest arrested 71 people, including 23 for blocking the jail.
In total, 71 people were arrested during the Thursday protests, officials said Friday.
Brewer's lawyers already have appealed the judge's ruling so they can fight back against what the Republican calls an "invasion" of illegal immigrants. The state of Arizona has received more than $1.6 million in a fund to help defend the new law, including $75,000 on Wednesday, the day parts of the law were blocked.
Brewer said Friday she would "absolutely" take the judge's decision all the way to the Supreme Court. But she dodged reporters' other questions about the immigration law at a news conference with U.S. Sen. John McCain about a decision to base new combat jets at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale.

Q: Protractor - see text on page I'm trying to write a test in Protractor, without highly coupling my test to specific markup of the page.
For example, given a typical log in page I'd want to test that if incorrect credentials are provided, an error message appears.
The way that my markup would display that error is:

Invalid username or password.

This unordered list may contain other errors, too - so I don't want to make an assertion on the list element itself. In any case, I may decide to move away from displaying the error as a list, and may want to show it in some other way.
All I want is to be able to assert that the page contains: Invalid username or password.
I'd like to be able to do something like:
expect(page.getContents()).to.contain('Invalid username or password.');

But of course this doesn't work.
Are there any methods available in Protractor that can allow me to do this?

A: You can use element.getText().
https://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=webdriver.WebElement.prototype.getText :

Get the visible (i.e. not hidden by CSS) innerText of this element, including sub-elements, without any leading or trailing whitespace.

To get all the text from your list. And then expect(text).toContain("Invalid username or password")
example using angularjs.org:
 browser.driver.get('https://angularjs.org/')
    el = element(by.css('.first'))
    el.getText().then(function(text){expect(text).toContain("AngularJS is a toolset for")});

A: You can use xPath to select the DOM element that contains the text you are looking for and, then, check if this element exists.
I'm using this code and
var myText = "Invalid username or password.";
var selectedElement = element(by.xpath("//*[. = '" + myText + "']"));

expect(selectedElement.isPresent()).to.eventually.equal(true, "This text is not present in page.").and.notify(callback);

I've tested the snippet on your example and works. Note, I'm using chai-as-promised, so, if you don't recognize the sintax don't worry. The important thing is that the second part: expect(selectedElem)... is used to check if the element is present in page.

A: This works for me:
expect(element(by.cssContainingText('*', 'Invalid username or password.')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy();

Pest Inspections
About Cockroaches
While often regarded as a normal domestic nuisance, cockroaches are, in fact, a legitimate health hazard. As persistent scavengers, they can chew through paper, cardboard and even plastic packaging to eat virtually anything organic. So, not just food, but even hair, some kinds of glue and even residues off your toothbrush. Wherever they go, they carry germs that cause salmonella poisoning and dysentery.
Preferring warm, dark and moist places, they have no trouble walking on vertical and even inverted surfaces. Plus, they can fly, survive temps down to zero, go for months without food and are among the fastest running of all insects.
The only way to control these pests is a schedule of regular maintenance. True 100% eradication is unlikely as new cockroaches will soon move in to any non-sealed living space. Their presence is a fact of life, but their risks they present don't have to be.
Cockroaches can and do pose a serious health risk to humans… they can spread diseases such as food poisoning, salmonella and dysentery.
COCKROACH SPECIES
(Blattella germanica)
10 – 16 mm in length
The colour can vary greatly from a tan colour to a dark brown.
This species has two dark lines running from the back of its head (pronotum) to the base of their wings.
Although this cockroach has wings, it can barely fly and rarely does so.
Found commonly around human populations, the German cockroach prefers warm, humid, and dark environments.
They can be found anywhere in the home but are commonly found in and around kitchen and bathroom areas such as under refrigerators and dishwashers, inside cupboards, drawers and electrical appliances. Other areas might include drains, ducts and other underground structures.
The German Cockroach is the most sociable of the pest species and is often found in large groups, especially near warm areas like water heaters.
Although nocturnal, the German cockroach is occasionally seen during day, especially if the population is crowded or has been disturbed. However, sightings are most frequent of an evening, when someone suddenly brings a light into a room deserted after dark, such as a kitchen where they have been scavenging.
When excited or frightened, the species emits an unpleasant odour.
Although they only live for up to six months, the German cockroach is probably the most troublesome of all cockroach species.
This is due to a number of reasons, such as:
– Sexual maturity attained within several weeks.
– Prolific reproduction: One female German cockroach can produce up to 20,000 young annually. Unlike other species of cockroaches that drop their oothecae (egg case), German cockroach females carry their ootheca until they are ready to hatch which protects them from predation. This case carries on average 30-40 eggs in it.
For effective control measures to be achieved, they must be systematic, comprehensive and sustained. Pest populations can be recreated within a few generations with the survival of just a few eggs. Re-colonisation from surrounding areas can also be very rapid.
American Cockroach
(Periplaneta Americana)
The American cockroach is the largest of the pest species.
The American cockroach is a reddish brown colour with a pale-brown or yellow band around the edge of the pronotum (shield like structure over the head). Although very similar to the Australian cockroach, the yellow markings on the American cockroachs' pronotum are not well defined and also do not have the yellow markings on their wings.
Once the American cockroach has reached adulthood, wings develop allowing the roaches to fly for very short distances.
American cockroaches generally live in warm, moist areas, but can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer high temperatures around 29 °C however, in cooler regions they tend to be found indoors as they do not tolerate low temperatures.
They commonly infest hospitals, bakeries, food stores, warehouses, factories and domestic residences. The American cockroach is an omnivorous and opportunistic feeder so can be found almost anywhere as they scavenge for food.
These cockroaches tend not to infest homes the way that German cockroaches do, partly due to their larger size. Nonetheless, these cockroaches are common in wall and roof voids, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, drains and sewers.
It seems to prefer decaying organic material, but will eat most human or animal foods as well as paper and clothing. They have also been observed to feed upon dead or wounded cockroaches of their own or other species.
The American cockroach can travel quickly, often scurrying out of sight when a threat is perceived, and can fit into small cracks and under doors despite its fairly large size. It is considered one of the fastest running insects.
Cockroaches produce a chemical called an "aggregation pheromone" causing the roaches to stay together in groups. The odour of these pheromones is sometimes described as having a "musty" smell. People with sensitive noses may begin to notice this odour as the roach population starts to grow.
The American cockroach is second only to the German cockroach in abundance.
Females produce an egg case (ootheca) which protrudes from the tip of the abdomen. On average, females produce 9–10 oothecae, or roughly one egg case a month for ten months.
Each egg case is about 0.9 cm long and contains 16 eggs.
After about two days, the initially brown capsule-shaped egg cases are placed on a surface in a safe location, close to a food source and then turn black in colour.
Immature cockroaches emerge from egg cases in 6–8 weeks . After hatching, the nymphs feed and undergo a series of 13 moultings (or ecdysis) and require 6–12 months to mature.
Adult cockroaches can live up to two years, during which females produce an average of 150 young. The American cockroach reproductive cycle can last up to 600 days.
An adult without food or a water source may survive for about two to three months.
Australian Cockroach
(Periplaneta Australasiae)
With a length of 23–35 mm it is very similar in appearance to the American cockroach and may be easily mistaken for it.
It is, however, slightly smaller than the American cockroach, and has a yellow margin on the thorax and yellow streaks at its sides near the wing base. These markings are clearly defined on the pronotum (shield like structure over the head) and on the foremargins of the forewing.
Like most other cockroaches, the Australian cockroach is a scavenger. The Australian cockroach however, prefers food of plant origin so is most commonly found outdoors.
Often under bark of trees, in leaf litter in gardens, among wood piles, in greenhouses, outhouses, and in other locations that offer moist, decaying vegetable matter. They can also be found in subfloors, wall voids, roof voids, garages and sheds.
It prefers warmer climates and is not cold-tolerant but it may be able to survive indoors in colder climates.
It does well in moist conditions, but also can tolerate dry conditions as long as water is available.
Australian Cockroaches tend to be more frequently encountered in warm, subtropical and tropical conditions and they are known to fly in warm weather.
They are often seen darting out of sight when someone enters a room and can fit into small cracks and under doors despite its fairly large size. It is known to be very mobile and able to fly short distances.
Females deposit the ootheca (egg case) containing 24 eggs a day after production.
After hatching nymphs take 6-12 months to develop into adults.
Brown Banded Cockroach
(Supella longipalpa)
Relatively small in size.
Adult male (14 mm)
Adult female (10 mm)
The female brown-banded cockroach (pictured) has a noticeably larger abdomen than the male.
Brown-banded cockroaches are pale brown with two light bands of yellow or cream across the thorax and abdomen. The bands are quite noticeable on nymphs and females.
Males have wings covering the full length of the abdomen, however the wings of females are shorter than the abdomen. The males fly when disturbed whereas the females are unable to.
The brown-banded cockroach resembles the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) with its small size and body shape but it can be distinguished by the absence of two dark pronotal stripes.
The brown-banded cockroach is primarily an indoor pest. Unlike German cockroaches that are mainly found near warm, moist areas, the brown-banded cockroach prefers a less humid environment and tends to distribute throughout homes.
They are commonly found in furniture, behind pictures or in lounge suites. It is for this reason that they are sometimes referred as the "furniture" cockroach.
The brown-banded roach is mostly active at night in search of food and is an opportunistic feeder. Sightings of brown-banded cockroaches during the day are not unusual and due to their dispersal throughout all areas of a building they can be difficult to control if the technician is not highly trained.
This cockroach prefers food sources with high starch content and will attack wall paper and book bindings.
They are known to frequently fly when disturbed or when temperatures are high.
Females produce a relatively small (5mm) yellow to reddish-brown ootheca (egg case) which contains up to 18 eggs. Each adult female can to produce about 13 oothecae in her lifetime.
The egg case is usually carried by the female for 24 to 36 hours before being attached to a surface, usually on the upper third of walls. Oothecae are commonly found in clusters when population density is high.
Development from nymph to adult takes about 2 to 4 months and they can live for approximately 3-6 months depending on conditions. Each female will produce between 100-260 offspring.

As we prepare for the second show of our 2015 Season, we asked Director Josh Rocchi to give us few minutes and tell us why he was drawn to "Pontypool" and what is rolling around in his head for the set. Check back next week for another Pre-Show Review when we talk with a few of the actors as they dive into their roles.
Now that the weekend is done and we've wrapped up our second annual one-act festival it is time to reflect on the experience of producing 11 new works. We invite the directors, actors, playwrights and audience to share their thoughts.


15:2 He takes away 1 every branch that does not bear 2 fruit in me. He 3 prunes 4 every branch that bears 5 fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
15:4 Remain 6 in me, and I will remain in you. 7 Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, 8 unless it remains 9 in 10 the vine, so neither can you unless you remain 11 in me.
sn The Greek verb αἴρω (airw) can mean "lift up" as well as "take away," and it is sometimes argued that here it is a reference to the gardener "lifting up" (i.e., propping up) a weak branch so that it bears fruit again. In Johannine usage the word occurs in the sense of "lift up" in 8:59 and 5:8-12, but in the sense of "remove" it is found in 11:39, 11:48, 16:22, and 17:15. In context (theological presuppositions aside for the moment) the meaning "remove" does seem more natural and less forced (particularly in light of v. 6, where worthless branches are described as being "thrown out" – an image that seems incompatible with restoration). One option, therefore, would be to understand the branches which are taken away (v. 2) and thrown out (v. 6) as believers who forfeit their salvation because of unfruitfulness. However, many see this interpretation as encountering problems with the Johannine teaching on the security of the believer, especially John 10:28-29. This leaves two basic ways of understanding Jesus' statements about removal of branches in 15:2 and 15:6: (1) These statements may refer to an unfaithful (disobedient) Christian, who is judged at the judgment seat of Christ "through fire" (cf. 1 Cor 3:11-15). In this case the "removal" of 15:2 may refer (in an extreme case) to the physical death of a disobedient Christian. (2) These statements may refer to someone who was never a genuine believer in the first place (e.g., Judas and the Jews who withdrew after Jesus' difficult teaching in 6:66), in which case 15:6 refers to eternal judgment. In either instance it is clear that 15:6 refers to the fires of judgment (cf. OT imagery in Ps 80:16 and Ezek 15:1-8). But view (1) requires us to understand this in terms of the judgment of believers at the judgment seat of Christ. This concept does not appear in the Fourth Gospel because from the perspective of the author the believer does not come under judgment; note especially 3:18, 5:24, 5:29. The first reference (3:18) is especially important because it occurs in the context of 3:16-21, the section which is key to the framework of the entire Fourth Gospel and which is repeatedly alluded to throughout. A similar image to this one is used by John the Baptist in Matt 3:10, "And the ax is already laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." Since this is addressed to the Pharisees and Sadducees who were coming to John for baptism, it almost certainly represents a call to initial repentance. More importantly, however, the imagery of being cast into the fire constitutes a reference to eternal judgment, a use of imagery which is much nearer to the Johannine imagery in 15:6 than the Pauline concept of the judgment seat of Christ (a judgment for believers) mentioned above. The use of the Greek verb μένω (menw) in 15:6 also supports view (2). When used of the relationship between Jesus and the disciple and/or Jesus and the Father, it emphasizes the permanence of the relationship (John 6:56, 8:31, 8:35, 14:10). The prototypical branch who has not remained is Judas, who departed in 13:30. He did not bear fruit, and is now in the realm of darkness, a mere tool of Satan. His eternal destiny, being cast into the fire of eternal judgment, is still to come. It seems most likely, therefore, that the branches who do not bear fruit and are taken away and burned are false believers, those who profess to belong to Jesus but who in reality do not belong to him. In the Gospel of John, the primary example of this category is Judas. In 1 John 2:18-19 the "antichrists" fall into the same category; they too may be thought of as branches that did not bear fruit. They departed from the ranks of the Christians because they never did really belong, and their departure shows that they did not belong.
3 tn Grk "And he"; the conjunction καί (kai, "and") has been omitted in the translation in keeping with the tendency in contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.
4 tn Or "trims"; Grk "cleanses" (a wordplay with "clean" in v. 3). Καθαίρει (kaqairei) is not the word one would have expected here, but it provides the transition from the vine imagery to the disciples – there is a wordplay (not reproducible in English) between αἴρει (airei) and καθαίρει in this verse. While the purpose of the Father in cleansing his people is clear, the precise means by which he does so is not immediately obvious. This will become clearer, however, in the following verse.
7 tn Grk "and I in you." The verb has been repeated for clarity and to conform to contemporary English style, which typically allows fewer ellipses (omitted or understood words) than Greek.
8 sn The branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains connected to the vine, from which its life and sustenance flows. As far as the disciples were concerned, they would produce no fruit from themselves if they did not remain in their relationship to Jesus, because the eternal life which a disciple must possess in order to bear fruit originates with Jesus; he is the source of all life and productivity for the disciple.
10 tn While it would be more natural to say "on the vine" (so NAB), the English preposition "in" has been retained here to emphasize the parallelism with the following clause "unless you remain in me." To speak of remaining "in" a person is not natural English either, but is nevertheless a biblical concept (cf. "in Christ" in Eph 1:3, 4, 6, 7, 11).


We took a whirlwind trip to Chicago over the weekend, stopping in for a few bites to eat, to take in a show and to visit the two of the three tallest buildings in the city. We made our plans last Wednesday, having planned well in advance to have a spontaneous trip over the weekend. Odd, I know, but we do what we can.
Since we didn't make it out to any shows the night before, we decided to try and find something to do on our last night before heading home, and since we didn't want to stay out too late, we found the 5pm showing of Tony n' Tina's Wedding to be perfect for our needs. We showed up about 4:30pm, as instructed, and settled right in.
The cast of the show started filling the area not long after, with a photographer and videographer making the rounds, as well as various siblings and other wedding party members mingling with the growing crowd. Just before 5pm, we filed into the Chapel of Love for the ceremony itself, and witnessed the tying of the knot – for somewhere around the 3700th time (figuring 6 times per week for 12 years now).
While the ruling out of France that Apple must open iTunes continues to rumble, and some celebrate, you just have to wonder – how much is France worth, anyway? Will it even matter? Just what happens if Apple doesn't comply? They aren't allowed to offer a French version of the software, perhaps? No more iPods for their citizens maybe? I don't know.
But it seems to me that the government – and by that, I mean any government, and not just the US – to decide that Apple isn't playing fair isn't likely to make a bit of difference, unless they can get a whole lot of other counties to follow suit.
I mean it isn't like France is isolated or anything. How long can it take someone in France to get to, say, England, Italy or Spain, pick up an iPod, and get back? Or maybe they'll hop on down to pick up some alternative player instead and Steve Jobs will miss out on a few stock options. Does it really matter so much?
I'm sick of getting mail that I don't want. Sure, I've signed up at the DMA. It helped. I've told the credit bureaus that we don't want unsolicited offers. But we still get them. Three in the last two days.
So I have a new idea. I'm just going to return their postage-paid envelopes to them. No note, not even a return address, because frankly I don't want to take the time. I'm just going to return the favor of sending them something useless. I know it doesn't mean anything. It makes me feel better.
Last night, as I was preparing dinner, I – very intelligently, as you will find out shortly – sat the baking dish to hold the casserole on the range. I likely wouldn't have done this previously, since we didn't have a flat range, and the range that we did have wouldn't have had the room. So I guess you could consider that a strike against both a flat range surface and replacing a smaller range top with a larger one.
That alone probably wouldn't have been an issue. Then I turned on the pan to start cooking the chicken when it came out of the microwave. Unfortunately, I turned on the burner underneath the baking dish. That was probably the problem, though it may have simply been bad enough that it was 'soaking up' some heat from adjacent burners.
Watching Good Morning America, and Kenny Rogers is singing now. I realize he can't be the Santa Clause-looking guy he was in the 80s (in fact, I winced when that picture came on earlier). But wow – he looks like he's had a lot of work done, he has an odd fake-looking tan and a strange goatee and an alternative band hairdo. Sure, the sound is about the same, but wow. It doesn't look like the same guy. What happened?

Q: create new column of values against an existing string in a csv file in python I have a program to store a persons name and their score, in a csv file in python.
for example this is my current code :
student_name = input("Name: ")
score = input("Score: ")

class_name = "student_scores.csv"

file = open(class_name , 'a')
file.write(str(student_name)  + ", " + str(score) + "\n")
file.close()

The output csv file is, (name = bob) and (score = 1) :
bob, 1

When i enter another score (2) for the same person (bob) the csv file looks like this:
bob, 1
bob, 2

However how can i change my code, so that the csv file looks like this (with more than 2 columns) :
bob, 1, 2

A: first things first, it is simpler to use the csv library to manipulate a csv file. All you need to do is read the csv file into a list called data using list comprehension or iteration. Here, the data is a list of lists with the inner lists representing the rows of the csv file. Now check the student_name with every first element of each inner list. If it matches append the score to that inner list and write the contents of data to the csv file. If it doesn't match write a list with the student_name and score to the csv file in append mode.
import csv

student_name = input("Name: ")
score = input("Score: ")

with open("student_scores.csv", "r") as f:
    data = [item for item in csv.reader(f)]

for item in data:
    if item[0] == student_name :
        item.append(score)
        with open("student_scores.csv", 'w') as f:
            csv.writer(f).writerows(data)
        break
else:
    with open("student_scores.csv", 'a') as f:
        csv.writer(f).writerow([student_name, score])

Hope this helps.

Bio energy powers pool heating
Samantha Stevens and Darryl Outhwaite show off the woodchips that are keeping the pool heated. Photo courtesy of City of Albany.
A biomass boiler at the Albany, Western Australia (WA), Leisure and Aquatic Centre (ALAC) is now keeping the pool heated while significantly reducing the centre's reliance on gas.
The boiler burned its first wood chips in November 2018, realising a project conceived five years ago to install a heating system that uses renewable energy.
It has allowed ALAC to switch off its gas system and relegate it to being a backup, saving about $50,000 per annum on gas.
Recreation Services Manager, Sam Stevens, said they had been working closely with local firm WA Biofuels to explore the potential for a renewable energy system.
"Transitioning to biofuel is both economically and environmentally beneficial.
"Running on gas heating has been very expensive and we have been at the mercy of the market, with gas prices extremely high at the moment.
"WA Biofuels has built and will own and operate the boiler system, there has been no up-front capital needed from the City to adopt this new technology."
Darryl Outhwaite from WA Biofuels said the boiler would consume about 400 to 500 tonnes of woodchips a year, and the project had been able to support local employment in plumbing, electrical, engineering and forestry.
"It takes about two hours for the region's timber plantations to regrow the amount of fuel that we need to heat the leisure centre for a year," he said.
"It's not only renewable, but the trees planted also provided great landcare benefits in the form of clean air, water and biodiversity."

Tesla's 2021 vehicle deliveries surge over 80%, projected to hit 1.5 million in 2022
Justinas Baltrusaitis
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) continues to increase its annual deliveries as demand for electric vehicles increases globally. Amid the surging demand, the company is on an ambitious expansion drive that will likely spur growth in production and deliveries.
Data acquired by Finbold indicates that Tesla's 2021 deliveries stood at 936,172, growing 87.4% from 2020's figure of 499,550. Since the company began delivering electric vehicles in 2014, the highest annual growth was registered between 2017 and 2018 at 137.8%, from 103,100 to 245,200.
Elsewhere, Finbold's projection indicates that the company's deliveries for 2022 might stand at 1,544,402, growing 64.9% from last year's figure. Notably, if the target is met, it will be the first time deliveries surpass the one million mark in a year. The estimate factors in Tesla's historical year-over-year percentage growth average between 2014 and 2021 alongside the expected increase in production due to operations from new plants in Texas and Berlin.
Drivers for Tesla's record deliveries
Tesla's steady increase in annual deliveries has emerged despite facing constraints from the global supply and logistics related to the pandemic. The company has continued to ramp up production in recent months, especially at its first overseas factory in Shanghai. Additionally, Tesla also made technical changes to the cars produced in California to ditch some parts.
Overall, Tesla deliveries are one of the most closely watched metrics for the company. The metric usually underpins the company's financial results and highlights the market's demand for electric vehicles.
Tesla had previously stated that it plans on increasing its deliveries by about 50 percent every year. Although the company didn't hit the one million shipments, it has still surpassed its annual growth goal.
It is worth noting that Tesla managed to shatter delivery records in 2021 despite the global semiconductor shortage. The shortage due to supply chain constraints crippled production amid rising demand. However, the company designs chips in-house, an advantage over other competing automakers. The firm also reprogrammed software to use less scarce chips.
Furthermore, the projected deliveries are part of Tesla's push to take electric vehicles into the mainstream. As part of achieving this growth, Tesla is expected to start production at its new factory in Austin, Texas, this year. At the factory, the company will begin producing its Model Y crossover vehicle. The production is also expected to increase with the full operations at the Berlin plant following delays witnessed late last year due to environmental hurdles.
Like the past demand, Tesla is also likely to benefit from the increasing shift towards electric vehicles due to climate regulation in various jurisdictions. For instance, like most European countries, states like California are establishing a date by which they will ban sales of most gas-powered vehicles. Notably, Tesla has established itself in these markets, and it's bound to benefit.
Cybertruck demand to push Tesla's deliveries
Additionally, the production of the Cybertruck is expected to accelerate Tesla's deliveries, especially with manufacturing expected to start soon amid increasing demand.
Notably, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced the completion of engineering work despite not offering a clear production plan at launch. With operations at the Texas and Berlin plants expected to start in Q1 2022, there is hope production will begin in the near future.
According to our previous report, as of May 25, 2021, the estimated Cybertruck pre-orders stood at 1.08 million. Interestingly, the figure is higher than the company's total deliveries for last year. As of Q4, 2021, a Cybertruck reservation tally stands at 1.33 million, according to publicly available crowdsourced data.
Elsewhere, Tesla's deliveries were also aided by the continued dominance of the battery electric vehicle sales in the U.S. However, the company is expected to face competition from traditional manufacturers increasingly investing in their EV wings.

Spaghetti alla carbonara (literally: charcoal burners' spaghetti in Italian) is an Italian pasta dish based on eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale and black pepper. It was created in the middle of the 20th century.[1]
Recipes vary, though all agree that pecorino romano, eggs, cured fatty pork and black pepper are basic. The pork is fried in fat (olive oil or lard). Then, a mixture of eggs, cheese and olive oil is combined with the hot pasta, thereby cooking the eggs. All of the ingredients are then mixed together.[1][2][3] Guanciale is the most traditional bacon for this recipe, but pancetta is a popular substitute.[4][5] In the US, it is often made with American bacon.
Cream is not common in Italian recipes, but is used in the United States[6][7], France, the United Kingdom[8], Australia[9] and Russia (especially in Moscow). Italian Chef Luigi Carnacina used cream in his recipe[10] Other Anglo/Franco variations on carbonara may include peas, broccoli or other vegetables added for colour.[7] Yet another American version includes mushrooms. Many of these preparations have more sauce than the Italian versions.[11]
In all versions of the recipe, raw eggs are added to the sauce and cook with the heat of the pasta.
Like most recipes, the origins of the dish are obscure but there are many legends. As 'carbonara' literally means 'coal miner's wife', some believe that the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian coal miners. Others say that it was originally made over charcoal grills, or that it was made with squid ink, giving it the color of coal. It has even been suggested that it was created by, or as a tribute to, the "charcoalmen", a secret society prominent in the unification of Italy. Also, the name may be from a Roman restaurant named Carbonara[12][13]
The dish is not present in Ada Boni's 1927 classic La Cucina Romana, and is unrecorded before the Second World War. It was first recorded after the war as a Roman dish, when many Italians were eating eggs and bacon supplied by American troops. [14]
spaghetti: 450g (1 pound)
pancetta: 225g (½ pound) – an Italian form of bacon
egg yolks: 5
Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated: 360ml (1½ cups) – Substitutions Use equal amounts of Parmesan, Asiago or Spanish Manchego
olive oil, extra-virgin: 3-4 tablespoons
pepper, freshly ground: ½ tablespoon
large skillet
Dice the pancetta into small pieces (1 inch [2.5cm] will do).
Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add salt when it begins to simmer.
Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it, reserving ½ cup (118 ml) of water.
As spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and cook for about 10 minutes over a low flame until the pancetta has rendered most of its fat but is still chewy and barely browned.
In a bowl, slowly whisk about ½ cup of the pasta water into the egg yolks, using a fork. Add the Parmesan cheese and pepper. Mix with a fork.
Transfer the spaghetti immediately to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss it and turn off the heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the pasta and toss all the ingredients to coat the pasta. Taste the pasta and add salt and black pepper, if necessary.
Ideally this dish is served with a red wine (Merlot, Chianti, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo), allowed to decant for several hours, and served at 65°F (18°C).

[Music] Madonna – Rebel Heart (review)
March 9, 2015 March 25, 2015 ~ Robert Gould	~ Leave a comment
Review: Despite exploiting both the public's desire and distaste for sexual provocation throughout a career spanning more than thirty years, Madonna's thirteenth studio album Rebel Heart sees the Queen of Pop release a song entitled "S.E.X" for the very first time. One of the most potent examples of Madonna's flair for media manipulation would involve her using titillation and its inherent shock value as a means of establishing discourses on power, control, and AIDS anxiety on 1992's Erotica. With song titles such as "Deeper and Deeper", "Why's It So Hard" and "Bad Girl" winking at you from its tracklisting, the album may as well have been sold with a pack of pearls for listeners unwilling to explore its thematic depths to clutch. "Deeper and Deeper" almost drowns in own its doe-eyed reverence for love, "Why's It So Hard" is a plea for world peace, and "Bad Girl" wraps up its exploration of destructive vices in a poultice of self-loathing.
"S.E.X.", meanwhile, is about sex.
Couple this transparency with the presence of even more references to the singer's discography than 2012's MDNA, and there's a certainly case to made for Rebel Heart finding Madonna in an uncharacteristically unimaginative state of mind. Although the Super Deluxe Edition's twenty-five tracks may once again present the listener with an array of musical swatches to choose from, at least the record's evident influences are just a little more time-honoured than those of 2006's Hard Candy – a relic of Timbaland's mid-noughties chart ubiquity – and the tuneless EDM of MDNA.
The glassy deep house of lead single "Living For Love" is a triumph, marrying Madonna hallmarks – gospel influences, self-empowering lyrics – to Diplo's oh-so-current but disciplined production. "Devil Pray" never fully cashes in on the country-dance credentials presented in disillusioned verses in which Madonna appeals to a higher power for salvation, instead luring its chorus away from the barn dance and into a demonic orgy turned rave.
There are moments in which Rebel Heart feels genuinely fresh; Diplo and PC Music's SOPHIE buff the plastic arrogance of the Nicki Minaj-featuring "Bitch I'm Madonna" with a decidedly cartoonish and auto-tuned sheen, rounding it off with confrontational blasts of what sounds like a dog being unnerved by a frantically pulled zip. "Iconic" could become Madonna's very own "Eye Of the Tiger", with a mouthy prologue from Mike Tyson fizzing into cascades of quasi-industrial beats, a victory lap of a chorus ("I can! / Icon! / Two letters apart") and an appearance from Chance The Rapper. Producer Kanye West is in Yeezus mode on "Illuminati", propping up Madonna's intentionally dead-eyed anti-conspiratorial raps ("It's not Isis or the Phoenix, The Pyramids of Egypt; Don't make it into something sordid") with heavy, sluggishly churning synths.
Critics will be quick to note the divide between these edgier cuts and the record's more heartfelt and traditionally structured offerings. "Ghosttown", the piano-led "HeartBreakCity", and the largely acoustic "Joan of Arc" are easily Madonna's finest ballads in a decade, but there are instances of the dualities implied by the record's title intersecting. On "Body Shop", her floaty voice woos a lover over a gossamer-light folk arrangement with a series of car-related puns, but when you hear Madonna sing "jumpstart my heart", there is something sweet to take from them not all being exclusively sexual. On "Inside Out", a slightly gigglesome topline of "Let me love from the inside out" doubles as both as a sexual solicitation and an unconditional acceptance of a lover's flaws.
There's little resembling an encompassing musical thread to Rebel Heart. Uptempo's are something of a rarity, with many of the club-orientated tracks pacing themselves to deliver more fleshed out choruses. The self-referencing gets occasionally tiresome on "Holy Water" and "Veni Vidi Vici"; the first a deliriously camp ("Bitch, get off my pole!") endorsement of female ejaculation with an unnecessary interpolation of "Vogue", the second a wistful retrospective of Madonna's life and career with lyrics made up of shout outs to her biggest hits: "I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle / Exposed my naked ass, and I did it with a smile."
So that brings us back to "S.E.X". After so many years in the game, Madonna has probably earned the right to serve up such dimly derivative material if she should so wish. But Rebel Heart also embraces all of her strengths as an artist, from theatrical balladry ("Messiah") to cocksure dancefloor fillers ("Unapologetic Bitch") to exercises in sensual R&B (the bhangra-infused "Best Night"). At 56, Madonna is carving out a cultural space for older women in the music industry and beyond to further explore their sexuality and creativity. The fruits of her efforts will obviously take a few years to quantify and appreciate, but the adventurous streak running throughout much of her latest record shows why Madonna will always be a rebel at heart.
[Music] Madonna – Living For Love (review)
Review: Having lived my life knowing that the chances of someone walking into an unlocked W.C. to find me startled and in a compromising position on at least one occasion are rather high, I realise that the closest one can come to controlling that situation is by making time for regular grooming. I say this because even if the absolute worst should happen, and you are caught with your trousers down, at least you can some pride in what you have been forced to present to the world. Madonna suffered a similarly gross invasion of privacy last November when an embarrassment of demos from her upcoming album Rebel Heart leaked online. But apart from any potential loss of sales, there was no real call for anger or mortification. The majority of the leaks demonstrated a welcome spike in ambition and musicality since the dark days of 2012's MDNA, a largely anaemic afterthought to her Super Bowl Halftime show and the admittedly brilliant tour of the same name.
"Living For Love" is Rebel Heart's first single, and a quick comparison between it and Madonna's previous comeback track "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is enough to sling the first stitch into hearts left broken after the reductiveness of her last release. It may use parts integral to such other 90's dance throwbacks as Kiesza's "Hideaway" and Clean Bandit's "Rather Be", but with Madonna – along with producer Diplo, her latest co-conspirator – behind the wheel, "Living For Love" is one of the more darkly intoxicating rides that the genre's recent chart revival has yielded. The track bubbles into life with Diplo's glassy synths underscoring dramatic house piano and Madonna's quietly victorious verses. Her post-divorce albums Hard Candy and MDNA attempted to resolve the singer's much-publicised break-ups from Guy Richie, Jesus, Brahim et al but it is only on "Living For Love" that she seems to have discovered a state of genuine edification. "Picked up my crown, but it back on my head / I can forgive but I can never forget," she sings, asserting herself personally and as the Queen of Pop all in one move. The chorus is backed by a gospel choir and is suitably enrapturing, although the crunchy breakdown that follows undermines Madonna's importance with a gospel singer's adlibs. But then you remember just who the person fronting the track is; this is Madonna, the woman who has done it all, seen it all and presumably felt it all. Here she is, at fifty-six, telling us that no only does she still believe in love, but she still believes in herself. It's a powerful sentiment.
The video is assumedly an unofficial apology for the flashes of apathy she had demonstrated when funnelling her energies into gyms and a career in directing instead of producing a decent record. "Give Me…" had an irreverent faux-one-take promo with an remarkably expansive set and a vague Super Bowl theme that was brilliant almost in spite of Madonna, whose trademark air of superiority seemed unwarranted considering she could barely feign interest in the song she was lipping along to. The video for "Living For Love", meanwhile, is comparatively claustrophobic; so visually rich is its red-filtered, choreography-heavy set-up in which Madonna the Matador takes on an army of muscled bulls-cum-dancers-cum-prey. It's a refreshingly lean concept, with no clumsy product placement – perhaps a director's cut will see her whip out her brand new Lumia to remind Lourdes to the plug out her hair straightener, we just don't know – and a reliance on M's charisma that ultimately proves rewarding as she gives a truly engaging performance, at one point quite literally taking those bulls for a ride.


In a coffee house in New Orleans, when a fantastic Oldtime and Cajun band named the Swamp Lilies, featuring Grammy-winner Al Tharp (of Beausoleil), played a beautiful set--for compensation in hot beverages and tips, normal fare for many an uber-talented band in the Big Easy.
It is an unlikely and beautiful phenomenon that New Orleans has become a place where musicians who seek to play traditional music have found a home–not only jazz, but also Americana, and folk music from Bulgaria, Africa, Cuba, and more. Milo Records was born out of the presence of roots musicians in New Orleans, left out of the mainstream music industry, and willingly so.
Milo then took to the road beyond New Orleans in search of others who explore the roots music of the American South, to find a colorful musical world, uncontaminated by mass commercialism. We are pleased to expand our efforts towards the Ozarks, with a satellite office in Little Rock, Arkansas as of 2017.
At Milo Records we aspire to introduce listeners to traditional, roots-influenced music played by all sorts of musicians inspired by the music and culture of the American South–be it Country, Cajun, Folk, Old-Time, Honky Tonk, and even Balkan music. Oh and of course we also love traditional jazz. We have become a small-batch record label promoting makers of bespoke music, and booking international tours of listening rooms and culture-oriented festivals for our artists, in our efforts to treat them and their music with the respect they deserve.
Milo Records is named after a famous musical dog who is fun, playful, smart, strong, loyal and protective – qualities that influence our philosophy in music representation. At Milo Records, you'll find artists who cherish and re-interpret the work of legends but also express their own original songs in a traditional-influenced form. Acoustic music you can dance to, and string instruments that make you smile – that is our big easy belief.

Nico Hulkenberg has been announced as Aston Martin's reserve and development driver for the 2021 Formula One season.
The German driver previously raced for the outfit during its time as Force India, and stepped in to cover coronavirus-enforced absences for Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll last season, when the team was known as Racing Point.
Hulkenberg, 33, has 179 races under his belt, holding the record for the most starts without achieving a podium finish, and also counts Williams, Sauber and Renault among his former employers.
"First of all, it's great to get this deal signed up with plenty of notice - last year, I didn't have quite as much time to prepare before jumping in the car," he told the team's website.
"I'm really pleased to once again work with this team, with whom I have driven many times during my career.
"Obviously, I'm hoping that Sebastian (Vettel) and Lance enjoy uninterrupted seasons this year, but the team knows it can rely on me to step in and do an excellent job, and I'm fully prepared to take on that challenge."
Team boss Otmar Szafnauer is was especially important to have an experienced and capable driver in "these difficult times".
"Nico proved last year that he could jump in the car and perform superbly at a moment's notice," he said.
"We know that we can rely on Nico to do an excellent job."

HIV/AIDS Speak
The effects of discrimination against persons living with HIV/AIDS and those otherwise affected by the disease are devastating not only for the individuals themselves, but also for the community and, in particular, for efforts to prevent the spread of HIV. Learn the correct terms of usage here:
Sensitive Language Why Alternatives
AIDS/HIV Carrier This is a stigmatizing term, which focuses on an individual as a carrier of disease. It is more important to emphasize that HIV/AIDS is a disease that can be managed and lived with, rather than focusing on the diseased status of the individual. HIV-positive, Person/man/woman living with HIV
AIDS Orphan
This term stigmatizes the child and the child's condition and may be misinterpreted to mean that the child is HIV-positive. The child may not be HIV positive but may have one or both parents due to HIV. Orphans/Children affected by HIV/AIDS
AIDS Sufferers / Victims These words evoke images of helplessness and weakness. HIV (antibody) test
AIDS Virus
The correct name of the virus is HIV. AIDS is a syndrome that is caused by HIV HIV, The virus that causes AIDS
Body Fluids This phrase is too broad and can refer to a range of body fluids, not all of which can transmit HIV. Specify the fluids.
"Catch AIDS" HIV is transmitted (ex. Sexually, mother-to-child, via blood), and then leads to the development of AIDS. Unlike contagious diseases, HIV cannot be "caught"
Clarification – HIV is not a contagious disease, i.e. it cannot be transmitted through casual contact (ex. Sneezing, coughing, saliva). Contract HIV Become HIV-positive
"Died of AIDS"
While this is frequently used, AIDS is actually a syndrome that can be defined by many different diseases. HIV gradually weakens a person's immune system and leads to one or more of many illnesses (opportunistic infections), which signal the progression to AIDS. These illnesses are the eventual cause of death. "Died of an AIDS-related illness"
"Died of a HIV-related illness".
Drugs for AIDS
This may be misinterpreted as meaning that there are cures for HIV/AIDS. It is important to clarify that while there are drugs to treat the symptoms, prevent and treat opportunistic infections and slow the progression of the disease, they cannot completely rid the body of the virus. Anti-HIV therapy, AIDS-related drugs, Drugs to prevent and treat opportunistic infections (OI)
Full-blown AIDS This is an older slang term that is rarely used anymore. Progression to AIDS is one stage of HIV disease. AIDS
Gay / Homosexual / Bisexual These terms, particularly gay bisexual, refer to an identity that may or may not be tied to a behavior. In many countries and cultures, men who have sex with other men may not perceive themselves as homosexual. It is important to distinguish between behavior (which can place an individual at increased risk of transmitting and acquiring HIV) and sexual identity, particularly when talking about HIV transmission. Men who have sex with men (MSM)
HIV and AIDS, HIV or AIDS They are not two diseases. Rather, they are different stages of HIV disease. HIV/AIDS
HIV/-Infected Person "HI-positive" is preferable to "HIV-infected," as the letter term places emphasis on the infection, rather than the individual living with it. Living with HIV, HIV-positive, (Having) contacted HIV
HIV Virus This term is redundant. HIV stands for "Human Immune Deficiency Virus" HIV
Innocent (victim), Guilty This infers that certain modes of transmission are worse than others and that some HIV-positive individuals deserve their status. Omit the word
Promiscuous This term is a label based on perceptions of an individual's behavior. It places a negative connotation on individuals who may look a certain way, have or be perceived to have more than one sexual partner and does not accurately reflect the social context of transmission. For example, individuals may be in polygamous marriages, which are socially and religiously acceptable in many societies. It is important not to use language that judges other' behaviors or is based on misconceptions or stereotypes. This is a value judgement that should be avoided
Prostitute This term has a negative connotation. It does not accurately describe situations in which women may be forced into exchanging sex for money or food due to gender inequality and lack of alternative economic opportunities. Sex worker
Risk group vs. Risk Behavior The phrase "risk group" may be interpreted as referring to the only people who are at-risk of contracting HIV. Individuals who do not belong to these groups may gain a false sense of security group" may not practice risky behavior. An example of this is an injection drug user who uses clean needles that are not shared Risky behavior
Safe Sex There is always an inherent risk when having sex with a partner Safer sex
Scourge, Plague, Dreaded Disease. These words are overly dramatic and over used. They also may imply judgement and should be substituted with medical terms. Disease, Epidemic, Illness
Sufferer, Victim These terms imply passiveness and helplessness. Avoid using these terms
Suspected (of having HIV), admitted (to having HIV) These terms foster stigma because they imply secrecy. Avoid using these terms

A peripteros (a peripteral building, ) is a type of ancient Greek or Roman temple surrounded by a portico with columns. It is surrounded by a colonnade (pteron) on all four sides of the cella (naos), creating a four-sided arcade (peristasis, or  peristyle). By extension, it also means simply the perimeter of a building (typically a classical temple), when that perimeter is made up of columns. The term is frequently used of buildings in the Doric order.

Definition
The peripteros can be a portico, a kiosk or a chapel.  If it is made up of four columns, it is a tetrastyle; of six, hexastyle; of eight, octastyle; of ten, decastyle; and of twelve, dodecastyle. If the columns are fitted into the wall instead of standing alone, the building is a pseudoperipteros.

No Stopping the European Union Climate Targets
December 14, 2020 Kai Frolic
By Kai Frolic
New Target
The EU has agreed its toughest targets on emissions to date – with leaders of all 27 member states agreeing to cut net greenhouse gas by 55% relative to 1990 levels by the year 2030. This is a substantial increase over the previous target of 40%.
The EU intends to reach net zero by the year 2050. The UK, which has left the EU, was the first to make this commitment in law.
Divided Opinion
As ever, world leaders are not in total agreement on what the targets should be. In general, the richer countries within the EU are keen on ambitious, strict targets while the less well-off countries are keener on some flexibility (there are of course exceptions to this trend). This is because the dependence on coal and industries that require a lot of energy within many of these countries.
However, the agreement was reached and marks a step forward on climate change in the EU.
Some groups still feel this step does not go far enough, including Greenpeace and the European Parliament, who argue that 65%-70% is really what's needed.
Whilst the future around climate change and green policies is never easy to predict, the latest EU target is good news and is part of a reasonably consistent commitment to tackling the climate issue.
This, combined with a more climate-friendly administration in the USA represents some positivity at the end of a trying year.
