Everyday Life as Seen by Dutch Masters. With Lars Eidinger and Stefan Marx
During the 17th century, painting saw a great upswing in the Netherlands in view of the country's strong economic development. Owing to its very realistic representations, genre painting was highly valued by wealthy citizens and merchants. Particularly popular were the elegant, atmospheric interiors and domestic scenes by the Delft fine painters around Johannes Vermeer, Pieter de Hooch and Gerard ter Borch, along with the exaggerated, ironical depictions of the peasant milieu and the excessive pleasure activities of simple people by Jan Steen or David Teniers.
With Class Society. Everyday Life as Seen by Dutch Masters, scheduled from 26 November 2021 to 27 March 2022, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is devoting a comprehensive show comprising some 150 works – paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and videos – to a chapter of an extremely multifaceted epoch of European art history. The exhibition is primarily based on the Hamburger Kunsthalle's superb holdings of Dutch 17-th century paintings, which at the same time are the main emphasis of the museum's Old Masters Collection and are meant to be acknowledged accordingly with this show. Another essential part of the presentation is dedicated to overarching aspects and, based on socio-cultural developments and political factors, it draws up a characteristic image of Dutch society in the 17th century that the selected artists seem to have portrayed in their paintings.
Beyond this, the exhibition evaluates the representations on display according to socio-critical issues of the 21st century and thus links them to our own everyday reality. The art of the Old Masters, as well as the context it was created in, often appear far removed from current debate, as their original intention seemingly has nothing in common with the complex contexts and topics concerning our society today. The exhibition wants to break with these prejudices by discussing controversial theses. Moreover, important links to our present day in terms of the subject matter and motifs are found in the staged portrayals of the Dutch middle class of the 17th century, including their means of communication. It turns out that today's underlying motivations and expectations are hardly different from those of the past. Seen from such viewpoints, the societies – then and now – reveal astonishing parallels.
In the exhibition the works of the Dutch masters meet with works by Stefan Marx and Lars Eidinger. By reflecting on the given themes and motifs, the two artists place them in a broader context and thereby overcome traditional boundaries. The at first sight unusual juxtaposition brings about a dialogue which, provoked by an intriguing reciprocal effect, allows us to see and perceive the art of the old masters from new angles. Stefan Marx works among others with written characters which he applies in his distinct typography to create drawings and paintings. The sometimes poetic, humorous and then again critical and thought-provoking expressions, quotes or epigrams inspire new perspectives in the examination of the Dutch genre scenes. Lars Eidinger's photographs and video works echo a plethora of attentive everyday observations at different locations. They capture oftentimes paradoxical scenes of mundane life including people's ambivalent behaviour, without judging them. Partially enriched with scenes from theatre and film, the work gives rise to subtle, self-willed and profound image worlds that reveal unexpected parallels to the works of the old masters.
In the exhibition Class Society. Everyday Life as Seen by Dutch Masters. With Lars Eidinger and Stefan Marx seemingly contradictory artistic positions coalesce and thus trace an arc from the 17th century to the present day.

Merry Christmas to everyone, happy holidays!
A simple bite or glass of one of these pleasures can reek headache or migraine havoc. Whether it's also ongoing stress, a stiff neck or not enough sleep, headaches are debilitating and affect a lot more people than you think. In fact the World Health Organisation in 2010 listed Tension Type Headaches and Migraine after Toothache as the most prevalent of disorders. Headache is a global problem in any language. So what can we do about persistent headaches?
Headache and Migraine are extensively researched and studied, yet researchers and clinicians are still uncertain of the exact causes and disagreement exists between experts. There is however a potential common denominator in headache and migraine.
Some headaches may be caused or prolonged from stiffness in the upper neck joints, the jaw or the neck-to-shoulder muscles. The stress of everyday life, poor posture, lack of sleep, diet or even dehydration can make headaches worse. Other kinds of headache and migraine are thought to be linked brain activity, bloodflow or hormone levels.
Combined physiotherapy and medical research efforts are showing that sufferers of migraine and tension type headache also display changes in muscles and joints (1). Studying the physiology of what makes these headaches different is showing some aspects of each that may actually be the same (2). The brainstem, a part of the nerve system with shared interconnections to the neck, when overactive may become one common factor to neck and head pain.
Regardless of origin, a headache is troublesome to deal with and can interfere with every day life.
Physiotherapy techniques can help make changes in activity to the nervous system which could reduce symptoms. This may be beneficial.
We are ready to assist head pain sufferers, including those that have headaches on one side or that swaps sides, possibly even during an attack.
So what can I do when I get a headache?
No body likes having a headache. Since most headaches seem to be caused by stress, poor posture, and stiffness around the neck area, simple exercises and activities that decrease stress and loosen your muscles may help manage the head pains. If your headaches are really causing you problems, then our specialist can provide a full headache assessment and a management plan for you to work on.

All schools to face snap Ofsted inspections
Tuesday January 10 2012, 2.25pm, The Times
All schools — even those rated as "outstanding" — will face snap Ofsted inspections from this autumn, it was announced today.
Sir Michael Wilshaw, the new head of Ofsted, said that no-notice inspections would be introduced in the new academic year.
Schools classified as outstanding are currently exempt from inspections, a decision made by Michael Gove, the Education Secretary.
But Sir Michael, formerly head teacher of Mossbourne Academy in Hackney, East London, said that all schools could face inspectors without warning if concerns had been raised.
"We are introducing no-notice inspections for all schools," he said, "not just those that are causing concern.
"It's a logical progression from the situation years ago when there was a year's notice, then it was two weeks, and in

Researchers identify 86% increase in infective endocarditis in England
by University of Sheffield
Credit: CC0 Public Domain
A new study published in The Lancet today has found an alarming increase in cases of the deadly heart condition infective endocarditis (IE) in England since 2009.
University of Sheffield experts found incidence of IE was stable between 1998 and 2009, with 27 cases per million of the population, but since then it has increased by 86 percent, to 50 cases per million of the population by 2018/19.
The source of the bacteria that cause IE is often unknown, but around 30 percent of cases are caused by bacteria from the mouth that enter the bloodstream and settle on the heart valves of those at increased risk. This may occur as a result of daily activities in those with poor oral hygiene or during invasive dental procedures.
Most healthy individuals are at low risk of IE, but those with artificial or repaired heart valves, certain congenital heart problems or a previous history of IE are at particularly high risk.
In Europe and the US, patients at high risk are given antibiotics to protect them when they undergo invasive dental procedures, but this ceased being part of the recommended guidance for the UK in 2008.
The study highlights that there are a number of possible reasons why cases of IE might be increasing, including: an aging population, increasing use of artificial heart valves and other cardiac and vascular devices to treat diseases, changes in the type of bacteria that cause IE, increased injection drug use, greater clinical awareness of IE and the changes in prevention guidelines.
Dr. Martin Thornhill, Professor of Translational Research in Dentistry at the University of Sheffield and senior author of the paper, said: "It is notable that incidence of IE is falling in the US and is stable or rising more slowly in the rest of Europe, where many of the factors that might explain an increase in IE are similar to here.
"One big difference between the situation in England and other countries like the US and the rest of Europe is that patients at high risk of IE are given antibiotics to protect them when they undergo invasive dental procedures—so called antibiotic prophylaxis, but the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended that this should stop being used in the UK in 2008.
"We cannot be sure what part this recommendation, or any of these other factors, has played in the large increase in IE cases we have seen in England, but the increase is very worrying and we need to thoroughly investigate all the possible reasons for the increase so that the cause can be identified and appropriate action taken to protect those at high risk of IE."
Study supports the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in high-risk dental patients

Ministry doesn't expect Dalai Lama visit to affect trade with China
Bashi Letsididi
Allowing Tibet's spiritual leader in exile to visit Botswana seems a terribly misguided idea because it could have ruinous economic consequences. However, it turns out that economic diplomacy is the last thing on the minds of the powers that be.
"The criteria for allowing foreign nationals to visit Botswana are not necessarily based on the benefits to be derived," says Gaeimelwe Goitsemang, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
One of the benefits that Botswana currently derives from its relations with China is a profitable commercial relationship that facilitates the sale of Botswana's diamonds. China is now the second largest consumer of Botswana's diamonds. Government effort to diversify the national economy away from diamond mining has not been successful, thus provoking the ire of an important buyer seems a reckless thing to do. As it turns out though, the Botswana government doesn't see this issue in economic terms. In response to the question of Sunday Standard's question about whether Botswana has considered the possibility of cutting off diplomatic and trade ties with Botswana, Goitsemang responded:
"Botswana and China enjoy excellent bilateral relations that have stood the test of time. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that a visit by a private individual can in anyway sour these longstanding and mutually beneficial relations."
However, at no time has the test been strict observance or the One China policy which is fundamental to China's foreign relations. China wants countries that it has relations with to accept that Taiwan and Tibet form part of its territory. Some 58 years ago, the Dalai Lama and thousands of his disciples fled Tibet following a failed revolt. Over the years, the Dalai Lama has become pragmatic enough to accept that Tibet cannot be independent of China. However, he insists on an arrangement that grants Tibet autonomy while it remains part of China. The Chinese government doesn't agree and the two parties have yet to find common ground on this issue. China considers a rejection of the One China policy to be a threat to its territorial sovereignty and it conducts foreign relations on the basis that countries should not have any dealings with Tibet and Taiwan as separate entities. China is clear about its position that hosting the Dalai Lama – whom it sees as a separatist – violates the One-China policy.
A hop and a skip away from the northern gate of the State House in Gaborone is the Chinese Embassy. This property has a very interesting history that, in part, helps illuminate Botswana's position with regard to the One China policy. Under the founding president, Sir Seretse Khama, the newly independent republic of Botswana went against this policy when it established diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The Taiwanese diplomats occupied the piece of land in question. With the progress of time, Botswana realised that its recognition of Taiwan was detrimental to its economic and other interests. That realization precipitated an about-turn that resulted in the embrace of the One China policy. Botswana cut off ties with Taiwan and established diplomatic relations with China. All this happened at a time that future foreign affairs minister, Phandu Skelemani, was a fresh-faced lawyer working for the Attorney General Chambers. Speaking in 2009 at an event held at the Chinese Embassy but never once mentioning Taiwan, Skelemani recalled doing the paperwork to transfer the host's venue to China.
Since establishing diplomatic relations with China, Botswana has strictly observed the One-China Policy. Goitsemang insists that by hosting the Dalai Lama, Botswana is not in any way abandoning its commitment to this policy.
"The visit by the Dalai Lama has no correlation with Botswana's foreign policy position on the One China policy. We wish to emphatically state that the government of Botswana is not hosting the Dalai Lama. His visit is purely private and organized by the Mind and Life Institute," he said.
The latter is a United States organisation and on its letterhead, lists the Dalai Lama as its honorary chairman.
Goitsemang repeated to Sunday Standard what he told parliament's Public Accounts Committee last week – that the ministry and the Chinese Embassy have discussed this issue, with each side stating its position. He wouldn't give a precise answer to the question of whether China is "comfortable" with the Dalai Lama's visit. While he may have chosen to equivocate on this issue, it is no secret that China is never comfortable with the Dalai Lama's foreign travel because it represents (at least to China) rejection of the One China Policy.
On the other hand, Professor Monageng Mogalakwe of the University of Botswana, believes that it is not in Botswana's economic interest to antagonise a country that is surefootedly marching to future superpower status.
"China is the most populous country in the world, accounting for quarter of the world population. It is reputed to be the second largest economy in the world, after the United States of America. Some reports say that, in fact, China has actually caught up with the USA and the two countries are on par, whilst other reports say that China is likely to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by the early 2020s. China is therefore not just another Third World country," Mogalakwe says.
With its burgeoning middle class, China has become the second largest consumer of Botswana diamonds, as well as third largest import supplier.
Says Mogalakwe: "It is estimated that there are about 600 Chinese companies in Botswana operating in the retail sector. These companies are to be found all over Botswana. These companies have also provided Botswana citizens - especially those at the lower end of the consumer market, with alternative to South African chain stores in products such as electronics, furniture, clothing, as well as commercial and industrial hardware, to mention a few. All this is because of the about 40 years of cordial Botswana-China relations carefully husbanded by Seretse Khama, Quett Masire and Festus Mogae."
Missing from that list is President Ian Khama under whom relations with China have noticeably soured.
Mogalakwe asserts that on the basis of the foregoing, and to the extent that China objects to the Dalai Lama's visit, such visit is not in Botswana's best interests. His theory is that if China retaliates by way of economic sanctions, the impact on Botswana will be "catastrophic." While the foreign policy that Goitsemang articulates places little premium on economic diplomacy, Mogalakwe's own view is that such policy "should take cognizance of the fact that it is not in the best interests of Botswana to antagonize a world power such as China, which has such significant presence in Botswana."
All in all, what does Botswana gain by hosting the Dalai Lama? Goitsemang responded: We are not hosting the Dalai Lama as your question seems to portray. Instead, Dalai Lama's visit to Botswana will be a private venture. As you would appreciate, Botswana is a free and open society where anyone is at liberty to visit as long as they comply with the country's immigration regulations. The criteria for allowing foreign nationals to visit Botswana are not necessarily based on the benefits to be derived."
Even as the Dalai Lama issue takes up more and more editorial acreage in newspapers, the Chinese Embassy is still not commenting on the issue. However, what China did to a First World country in 2008 may be instructive. In that year, then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy who at the time also held the European Union's rotating presidency, met with the Dalai Lama in Poland. China retaliated by calling off a scheduled EU-China summit. Two years later, two researchers at the University of Gottingen in Germany published the findings of a study – the first empirical analysis of its kind – that demonstrated the economic consequences of top leadership meeting the Dalai Lama. One researcher, Andreas Fuchs told CNN: "We wanted to find out the impact of the rising role of China in the world ... to find out what we should expect of China's role in the world in the coming years. It is clear that politics has played a huge role in China's commercial relationships." The main finding was that countries whose top leadership meet with Tibet's exiled spiritual leader lose, on average, 8.1 percent in exports to China two years following the meeting. The researchers discovered that exports to China decreased only after the Dalai Lama met with heads of state, such as presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens and the Pope. No negative impact was found after meetings of the Dalai Lama with lower-ranking officials. President Khama will officiate at the event, which obviously means that he will meet the Dalai Lama.
If it is any consolation at all, the "Dalai Lama Effect" wears off after two years, with trade returning to some normalcy. Fuchs told CNN that China itself has an interest in the restoration of commercial relationships but always ensures it expresses its anger about leaders meeting the Dalai Lama.

Morgan slices leg open after accident with axe on Mountain Men
Thu Jul 27, 2017 at 4:13pm ET
By James Wray
Morgan working with his very sharp axe on Mountain Men
Mountain Men's Morgan Beasley slices his leg open while chopping timber on this week's episode — after making a mistake with his axe.
The accident happens whilst he is out cutting down trees and splitting timber. When he chops down with the axe to flatten off a piece of wood, he misses and cuts deep into his leg.
At first he doesn't think it is too bad but he then feels the blood and rushes into the cabin as he shout for Margaret to fetch the first-aid kit. As he pull up his trousers she gasps "ooh that's bad".
Margaret whinces as she sees how deep Morgan's cut is on Mountain Men
Let's hope it's not too serious or incapacitating as out in the wilds you cannot afford to be injured for long.
Meantime, also on this week's episode Marty has really taken his task of discouraging the wolf pack to heart and goes on a bit of a killing spree.
Last week we saw him preparing some traps as he worried the pack were straying too close to his home.
This week's episode comes after Preston Roberts, who featured on the show alongside his friend Eustace Conway, passed away on Monday following a battle with cancer.
Mountain Men airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on History Channel.

One of my favorite surprises this summer was our local library's summer book sale at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. I actually made 2 stops there in one day. First to pay "full price" for some books at 50 cents each and then to return an hour before closing to get a bagful for $3.00. Since my grandkids were coming in a few days and I have some new readers, I loaded my bag with paperbacks for the 7 and 8 year-olds, including Gary Paulson books, some picture books on raccoons and otters for the younger ones and even got "The Indian in the Cupboard" for read-aloud time with Sheshe and Artie!
What a great way to encourage reading for my kids as well as me, as I checked out with my 22 books (with room left in my bag)! Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this event a success and the amazing staff that runs one of the nicest children's libraries I know.

Wheelchair basketball is one of the most well-adapted sports, and is also one of the most widespread in the world. It is estimated that there are currently wheelchair basketball leagues and competitions in 75 countries, which gives us a good idea of its degree of social integration and level of competitiveness.
When was wheelchair basketball first invented?
To officially find the origins of wheelchair basketball, we need to journey back to the United States in 1946, when many of the professional US basketball players who had suffered injuries during World War II returned home and wanted to continue playing this sport, adapting it to their new needs.
Some time ago in 1944, German neurologist Ludwig Guttmann devised a rehabilitation programme at Stoke Mandeville hospital in Aylesbury, England, adapting some sports for wheelchairs for people with spinal cord injuries. Among those sports, we could find the antecedent of wheelchair basketball, which was known as a wheelchair netball.
Wheelchair Netball was introduced in the first Paralympic Games in 1948, organised by Stoke Mandeville, and during the fifties, wheelchair basketball began to develop as we know it.
Due to its great acceptance, in 1973 the International Stoke Mandeville Games Committee founded the first sub-section dedicated exclusively to this sport, and two decades later the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) became a worldwide organisation.
Wheelchair basketball: basic rules
Wheelchair basketball is one of the adapted sports which is most faithful to its original counterpart. In fact, the dimensions of the court are the same as in Olympic Basketball, and the basket and its height are equal, the location of the three-point line and the ball. The duration of the matches is also identical: four sections of ten minutes with two minutes of rest between the first and second section, and the third and fourth section, and a break of a quarter of an hour in the middle of the match, that is between the second and third section.
The adaptation of wheelchair basketball has been designed taking into account the effects of moving in a chair. For example, if a player who has the ball touches the side line with any part of his chair, it would be considered outside - a rule that has one exception: during free throws the small wheels (never the large ones) may be on the throwing line.
Another adaptation affects the "steps" and "doubles" of traditional basketball. In wheelchair basketball, the player with the ball cannot give more than two consecutive bounces without passing or throwing the ball. Making the third bounce is therefore a fault, and the player is sanctioned for it. You also cannot throw the ball over the armrests.
Wheelchair basketball scoring is made conditional by the degree of disability of the athletes, and a score of 1 to 4.5 is applied to each of them depending on their disability. On the court, this score can never exceed 14.5 points. The objective of this system is so that there is not one team which is more unbalanced than the other, due to having players with more or less mobility.
If you want to see the full rules, you can do so by visiting the International Paralympic Committee website.
The chair in wheelchair basketball
In wheelchair basketball, the chair is very important as it is considered part of the player. The rules of this sport stipulate the size of the horizontal protection bars on the front and side of the chair, the height of the footrests so that they do not damage the playing field, anti-tip devices or the size of the armrests, which are always fixed to the chair and can never exceed the leg or torso line during the game, when sitting in a natural position.
As for the most technical part, wheelchair basketball chairs are provided with three or four wheels (two large at the back and one or two at the front) with a hoop hand support on each large wheel. Of course, 'extra' mechanisms are not allowed to facilitate driving, such as brakes or gearshifts, and at most two small wheels (castors) can be attached to the frame or rear axle.

Domestic Violence by Strangulation
Several different acts could constitute domestic violence, including domestic assault and child abuse. One of the most specifically defined types of domestic violence is domestic violence by strangulation. This type of abuse is singled out as its own offense in Florida, and it is considered incredibly harsh.
When a person is accused of this crime, he or she can face a lengthy legal battle that could result in jail time and expensive fines. This domestic violence offense also could mean a lifetime of other consequences, including a felony record, a bad reputation and restrictions from a protective order.

Information About Domestic Violence by Strangulation
What is Domestic Battery by Strangulation?
Penalties for Domestic Abuse by Strangulation
Defenses to Domestic Abuse Charges in Florida
A person commits domestic abuse by strangulation if he or she impedes the normal breathing or circulation of the blood, so as to create a risk of or cause great bodily harm by applying pressure on the throat or neck of the other person or by blocking the nose or mouth of the other person, according to Florida Statute Annotated § 784.041.
For this charge to apply there has to be a specific relationship between the alleged abuser and his or her victim. According to Florida law, the two must be family or household members, including spouses, former spouses, related by blood or marriage, presently residing together as if a family or who have in the past and people who share custody of a child, regardless of whether they have been married.
A domestic battery by strangulation charge also could apply if the two are involved in a dating relationship. According to Florida law, a dating relationship means a continuing and significant relationship of a romantic or intimate nature.
Domestic violence by strangulation is considered a third-degree felony, according to Florida Statute Annotated § 784.041. In Florida, a third-degree felony could include up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $5,000 or both.
A felony record could have a serious impact on a person's life. This could mean not being able to possess a firearm or not being allowed to vote. These violent offenses also carry a heavy social stigma, and a conviction for such an offense could affect aspects of a person's social and professional lives.
Additionally, after an arrest for domestic abuse, the victim could seek a protective order against his or her alleged abuser. This protective order is designed to limit the interaction between the two people, but it could have outstanding consequences. A person also could be ordered to pay restitution to the victim or to abstain from alcohol.
When a person is charged with a domestic violence offense, he or she could feel like there is no way around it. However, a charge does not have to mean a conviction if you have a strong and solid defense. One of the best ways to fight a domestic violence by strangulation charge is to dispute the elements of the charge.
Domestic violence incidences can become complex situations, and often times both parties are engaged in the abuse. An attorney can use evidence such as the injuries on both parties to prove the accused did not intend to choke or strangle the victim. For instance, if there are no bruises or marks on the other person's neck, it could be argued the offender did not want to strange the victim.
Another aspect that could be challenged is the relationship portion of the charge. For example, the victim could allege the two were romantically involved or were in a dating relationship, when it could be an exaggerated version of the situation.
An attorney can work one-on-one with you to learn more about your particular situation and to discover what possible defense could work against your charges. Not all defenses could apply to every situation. It is important to examine all of the information concerning your unique circumstances.

South Dakota pulls driving campaign over innuendo
NewsNation
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota officials have canceled a public safety campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of jerking the steering wheel on icy roads, saying it"s too risque.
The Department of Public Safety has pulled the "Don"t Jerk and Drive" ads, which played on the double-meaning of the word "jerk." Highway Safety Director Lee Axdahl told the Argus Leader (http://argusne.ws/1zYqlyN ) earlier this week that the double meaning was intentional, to grab people"s attention.
He says the message is that the department would prefer drivers keep their cars out of the ditch and their mind out of the gutter.
But his boss, Public Safety Director Trevor Jones, says he"s pulling the social media and television ads. He says he doesn"t want innuendo to distract from the goal of saving lives on the road.

Q: Pandas: mapping data series (float to string) WITHOUT removal of trailing zeros I am trying to create a data series containing strings of the form:
"%.2f +/- %.2f"
using two pandas data series (the measurements and their error). Here is how I've implemented this:
df["F"] = df["Fint"].map(str) + " +/- " + df["Fint Err"].map(str)

However, the map(str) removes trailing zeros from the values in the series.
E.g for source 'VLA 3 at 6lambda'.
In[101]: df["Fint"]
Out[101]:
Source  Lambda    Fint
VLA 2   6.0       0.15
        3.6       0.19
VLA 3   6.0       0.40
        3.6       0.29

In[102]: df["Fint"].map(str)
Out[102]:
Source  Lambda
VLA 2   6.0       0.15
        3.6       0.19
VLA 3   6.0        0.4

How do I stop the trailing zeros from being removed?
Obviously as you can see I'm actually working with a data frame (but as map is a data series func I thought this would simplify the question), if there's a way of achieving this with applymap instead I'd be happy to know.
Thanks!

A: If the data starts off as floats then it doesn't have "trailing zeros".  But from your example it sounds like what you really want is to have all the numbers be at least 4 digits long, adding trailing zeros if need be.  Try this:
# function that maps float->str, then pads with "0" up to length 4
to_4digit_str = lambda flt: str(flt).ljust(4,"0")

df["F"] = df["Fint"].map(str) + " +/- " + df["Fint Err"].map(to_4digit_str)

I like reading, camping, and food-hunting.
One thing that surprises other Malaysians about me is that I'm a very awkward person.
I'm good at spending time alone.
One thing I'm proud of is having my own job, getting my own salary, treating my family to good food.
I decided to be a voter because I was talking to a friend about current political issues and it made me realise a lot of things.

Dips in oil demand benefit climate more than currently estimated
Precourt Institute
Adapted from a University of Pittsburgh news article
A decreasing reliance on oil for fuel will inevitably decrease the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere throughout the fuel's lifecycle, from extraction and refining to combustion as it's used by consumers. However, the size of that impact varies depending on market factors that until now have not been fully modeled.
New research led by Adam Brandt, associate professor of energy resources engineering at Stanford University's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences, and Mohammad Masnadi, assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering, offers a closer look at the relationship between decreasing demand for oil and a resilient, varied oil market – and the carbon footprint associated with both. The study was published Nov. 3 in Nature.
"When oil demand drops due to, say, more rapid penetration of electric vehicles, our models find larger carbon benefits than earlier models," said Brandt, who is also the director of Stanford's Natural Gas Initiative. "Thus, it is likely that the carbon benefits of demand reduction measures and alternative vehicles have been underestimated."
Artisting rendering of natural world versus world heavily degraded by climate change.
The carbon intensity of producing the oil displaced by a 2.5 percent demand drop is about 25 percent to 54 percent more than the global average used in previous models estimating climate benefits.
"Previous models have treated oil producers' carbon footprint as if all barrels of oil are exactly the same, but with novel extraction technologies there is a great deal of variability in the global oil supply," said Masnadi. "It's complex, and it's not linear. Our model takes that into consideration."
The relationship between reductions in oil demand and outsized climate benefits does not necessarily hold for medium to large demand drops. The carbon intensity of the oil displaced by larger demand drops – 5 percent to 10 percent – remained well above the global average in the study's perfect competition scenario. However, in the more realistic oligopoly and cartel scenarios, the carbon intensity of producing the displaced oil was around the global average.
"In oligopoly and cartel cases, shutting down or reducing production at oilfields that are profitable is rational, since the major producer or cartel will sell less output but at a higher price," said Giacomo Benini, one of the study's co-authors and a Stanford postdoctoral scholar in Brandt's lab. "Those profitable oilfields tend to produce light and medium crudes, which on average have lower carbon intensities than heavy crudes."

In the paper, the researchers link econometric models of the production profitability of 1,933 global oilfields, (representing about 90 percent of the world's supply in 2015), with their production carbon intensity, a measure of the amount of carbon emitted per barrel of oil produced.
They then examined the oilfields' responses to a decline in demand under three market structures. The first structure models perfect competition between producers. The second assumes there is an oligopoly where several major players drive the most impact. The third describes a cartel structure that assumes an international entity like OPEC will adjust production to impact oil prices and maximize profits.
The model uncovers an important consideration for government agencies as they create regulations to address climate change: To reduce carbon emissions by reducing demand for oil, policymakers must take into account the global oil market's structure.
"There's an assumption that as demand decreases, oil producers who are on the margins will be pushed out of business, but we've found that's not always the case," said Masnadi, who was a postdoctoral scholar of Brandt's before joining the faculty at Pitt. "Everyone knows about these market structures, but by considering it, we show the structure is very important in a global economy. The way the structures play out impacts the kinds of oil fields that will be at the margins and struggling to stay afloat. Even with more penetration of alternative fuels, we might not see many expected players out of business – based on the market structure and their financial situation, many will be resilient enough to adjust their costs and keep producing."
At Stanford, Alice Milivinti, a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Population Health Sciences in the School of Medicine, is also a co-author of the new study. Other co-authors are Hassan M. El-Houjeiri of the Technology Strategy & Planning Department, Saudi Aramco; James E. Anderson, Timothy J.

Jaguar Offering Up To $30,000 In Discounts For F-Type
Author: Brad Anderson Published Date: November 14, 2017 Leave a Comment on Jaguar Offering Up To $30,000 In Discounts For F-Type
Jaguar is offering a number of generous discounts for the F-Type, presumably in an attempt to clear out 2017 stock.
Cars Direct has discovered that a dealer cash incentive has been introduced by the British marque, allowing dealerships to offer up to $30,000 off the MSRP for the potent F-Type SVR model. A discount of up to $20,000 is also being offered for the R while there is a $10,000 incentive available for V6 models.
Importantly, it is the dealer's prerogative as to whether or not it passes on these incentives to customers. One dealership already advertising a heavily discounted F-Type SVR AWD is Jaguar Louisville, pricing the performance car at just $100,533, a full $30,000 off the MSRP.
The aforementioned offers are set to expire on January 2, 2018.

If you've got some leftover turkey, why not use it to power up your breakfast?
1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan set over a medium heat. Add the onion and leek and sauté for about 8 minutes, until they are soft and tender. Add the spinach and allow it to wilt. Add the slices of turkey breast, placing them flat on the pan just to heat them through. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a separate cup or ramekin. Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk. Slowly tip the egg into the water. Leave to cook for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess water. Repeat for the remaining eggs.
3. To serve, place two slices of turkey breast on each plate. Top with the sautéed onion, leek and spinach and finish with two poached eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and serve straight away.

Q: How does extensors M and R works CALLP on RPGLE? I'm learning a little bit of RPGLE. But i don't have any reference of extensors M and R and how they work. I only found information about Extensor E. Please any help or any reference would be accepted!

A: The CALLP docs mention

For information on how operation extenders M and R are used, see
Precision Rules for Numeric Operations.

Following the link to the precision rules says

you can ensure that the decimal positions are kept by using the
"Result Decimal Positions" precision rule for the statement by coding
operation code extender (R).

Granted you have to dig down into the Default precision rules page to find out that

default and can be specified for an entire module (using control
specification keyword EXPROPTS(*MAXDIGITS) or for single free-form
expressions (using operation code extender M).

If you have the PDF version of the RPG manual, then there's an entry in the index.."operation extender" which takes you to the section about them in the "Calculation Specification - Traditional Syntax"
Operation Extender:
Entry Explanation
Blank No operation extension supplied
A     Used on the DUMP operation to indicate that the operation is always performed regardless of the DEBUG option set on the H specification.
H     Half adjust (round) result of numeric operation
N     Record is read but not locked

University gears up to identify the details of sustainable food production
The University of Guelph is challenging its researchers to help farmers sustainably feed the world's growing population through a new seven-year project called Food From Thought.
The federal government is providing $77 million in funding for the project that involves starting a "digital revolution in food and agriculture," according to a Sept. 8 university press release. It's the largest single federal research grant in the university's history.
Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield announced the funding Thursday on behalf of federal Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan. The government is providing the money through the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, which supports world-leading research at universities and colleges.
Geography professor Evan Fraser, scientific director of Food From Thought, said the government funding is for seven years but the university doesn't know the start date of its project yet. The university is anticipating getting the funding by April 1, 2017.
Fraser said it would take some time for the government to sign the legal agreement with the university.
In the release, university president Franco Vaccarino said the project would help farmers "produce more food on less land using fewer inputs."
Fraser said the funding "reinforces University of Guelph's identity as Canada's food university." It's also a ringing endorsement of the university's work to be strategic, deliberate and collaborative, he said.
The university faces a big job. The world's growing appetite for food comes at a time "when problems like climate change and soil degradation in many parts of the world are making food harder to produce," Fraser said.
Using data-intensive technologies to keep farms economically efficient, while reducing environmental impacts and maintaining health and welfare standards, is a huge global challenge, he noted.
Don McCabe, Ontario Federation of Agriculture president, said developing more sustainable agricultural practices that farmers can use is absolutely necessary. However, farmers also need society's acceptance "of some of these measures."
Farmers don't always have society's backing on its practices. For example, McCabe said society is insisting farmers move to cage-free egg production, and yet housing hens outside of cages increases their mortality rates. "Can you actually convince me, somehow, that increasing a mortality rate is beneficial to animal welfare?"
Still, McCabe said he's thankful the university has received the funding "to move things along. I hope we're able to harness it to bring precision agriculture, the bio-economy and a bunch of other measures forward more quickly for Ontario farmers."
About the university president's statement to help farmers produce more food on less land with fewer inputs, McCabe said farmers are already doing that "every day of the week." Farmers are producing more for every acre of land. However, the biggest problem they face is hanging on to that acre of land "when we are losing it to housing developments."
Another problem farmers face is they're unable to harness new technologies as quickly as they need to because people don't understand them, McCabe noted.
In doing the Food From Thought project, the university will work in partnership with other academic institutions around the world, numerous government agencies, industry groups and innovation centre. It will be one of the university's largest and most inclusive projects involving all seven colleges.
Fraser said the agricultural sector is only just beginning to scratch the surface on using precision agriculture and technologies to provide nutrients and other inputs to livestock "to ensure maximum efficiency."
He added, "We are at the beginning of a radical shift in how much food we produce versus how many inputs we use."
Data-intensive technologies, such as big data analytics and smart tractors, are only now beginning to be applied to farming systems and "there's a huge scope for improved efficiency in the future," he explained.
Big data analytics involves, for example, in the dairy industry using robotic milkers to monitor each cow's health and wellbeing throughout the day. The monitoring involves checking various indicators, such as milk temperature.
"That cow is given the equivalent of personalized medicine and diet, or the right amount of nutrients for that animal at that particular stage of life," he noted. "That ability to provide, in real time, inputs to a cow is quite new."
Previously farmers would feed their cows based on the herd's average production, he added.
The project is designed to create novel tools to produce more and safer food while also protecting the environment, according to the university's release. Faculty, staff and students will have an opportunity to participate.
Fraser said 40 or 50 academic staff members will be actively participating in various elements of the project.
Ten principal investigators from across the university will lead the project. Some of the principal investigators include:
Bonnie Mallard, pathobiology professor at the university's Ontario Veterinary College. Her portion of the project includes studying the effects of genetic regulation on livestock immune systems to improve animal health and the use of inputs, such as antibiotics.
Clarence Swanton, professor in the department of plant agriculture. His Food From Thought research will result in tools for farmers to help them grow more food and at the same time protect biodiversity.
Tina Widowski, director of the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare and Egg Farmers of Canada research chair in poultry welfare. Her team will use big data and new agri-food technologies to help farmers improve animal welfare.
Also as part of the project, Fraser will explore the effects of big data and new agricultural technologies on global food security.
Other parts of the project include using management systems to help track emerging infectious diseases in livestock and control pathogens in the food supply, expanding the use of DNA barcoding technology to identify food fraud, and using big data on farms to reduce pesticide use and monitor watershed health.
The university was required to participate in a competition for the funding, Fraser said. In total, the government handed out $900 million in this round of funding under the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
Almost 60 letters of intent were submitted to the government in November 2015 for funding under this second round, he explained. From those, the government compiled a short list of 34 applicants, and interviewed 15 of them. Thirteen universities' proposals were awarded funding.
In round one, the government handed out about $400 million in funding. The University of Guelph narrowly missed getting funding in that first round, he said. "We were ranked sixth across the country and the government gave out five awards" at that time. BF

Manfred Fuhrmann (* 23. Juni 1925 in Hiddesen bei Detmold; † 12. Januar 2005 in Überlingen am Bodensee) war ein deutscher Altphilologe.

Leben
Fuhrmanns Vater war der Arzt und Gründer des Detmolder Sanatorium Grotenburg Manfred Fuhrmann (1877–1939), seine Mutter Maria, geb. Plemp van Duiveland, stammte aus den Niederlanden. Fuhrmann hatte vier Geschwister, darunter den Pianisten, Musikpädagogen und Wissenschaftler Roderich Fuhrmann (1929–2003). Nach seinem Abitur am Gymnasium Leopoldinum in Detmold studierte er Klassische Philologie, Rechtswissenschaften, Philosophie und Theologie in Freiburg im Breisgau und Leiden und wurde 1953 in Freiburg mit einer Arbeit zur Religiosität des Horaz zum Dr. phil. promoviert. 1959 habilitierte er sich ebenfalls in Freiburg, wo er im selben Jahr seine erste Privatdozentur erhielt. 1962 folgte er einem Ruf als ordentlicher Professor an die Universität Kiel und 1966 einem weiteren an die neu gegründete Universität Konstanz, wo er bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1990 den Lehrstuhl für Lateinische Philologie innehatte. Von 1964 an nahm er an den Tagungen der interdisziplinären Forschergruppe "Poetik und Hermeneutik" teil. Außerdem war Fuhrmann ordentliches Mitglied der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Heidelberg.

Werk
Der Latinist Fuhrmann galt als einer der überragenden Altphilologen seiner Generation und arbeitete auf vielfältigen Gebieten der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaft. So war er neben seinen philologischen Studien akkurater Übersetzer mit großem sprachlichem Feingefühl. Zwischen 1970 und 1982 veröffentlichte er Übersetzungen von Marcus Tullius Ciceros sämtlichen Reden in sieben Bänden, für die er bei Klassischen Philologen, Historikern und Germanisten gleichermaßen Anerkennung fand. 1990 erhielt er dafür den Johann-Heinrich-Voß-Preis für Übersetzung der Deutschen Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung in Darmstadt. 1986 folgten Übersetzungen der Werke des Horaz.

Zudem verfasste Fuhrmann Biographien Ciceros (Cicero und die römische Republik) und Senecas (Seneca und Kaiser Nero – Eine Biographie), die ebenfalls bei Altphilologen und Althistorikern große Anerkennung fanden. Schon recht früh befasste sich Fuhrmann mit der lateinischen Literatur der Spätantike, die in Deutschland lange Zeit kaum beachtet worden war.

Daneben setzte sich Fuhrmann bei seinen Forschungen intensiv mit dem europäischen Gedanken sowie der Bildungstradition und den Bildungskanones als kultureller Identität Europas auseinander, wobei er auch einer fachfremden Öffentlichkeit durch seine Kontroversen mit dem Anglisten Dietrich Schwanitz bekannt wurde.

Außerdem beschäftigte sich Fuhrmann intensiv mit der Geschichte und Praxis des Altsprachlichen Unterrichts und bezog immer wieder in Aufsätzen und Vorträgen zu fachdidaktischen Problemen sowie Orientierungen der Fachdidaktik des Latein- und Griechischunterrichts Stellung.

Axl!
Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is a new mom after giving birth on Thursday.
Little Axl Jack Duhamel entered the world in Los Angeles and weighed in at seven pounds, 10 ounces, according to a representative for the singer and her husband, actor Josh Duhamel, who has eagerly been anticipating his first-born son's arrival for weeks.
In a TV interview to promote his new film, "Scenic Route," last week, Duhamel revealed he was getting a little nervous about the birth, explaining, "I thought that I was going to be good. I thought that I was ready for this. And I'm a little terrified. I'm excited and I'm terrified because I am responsible for this little thing forever."
He added, "We're just eagerly anticipating the arrival… I'm really excited to meet this little dude. I can't wait."

Q: Django project not in virtual environtment folder? I was cloning django project, then i try to run the project that next step is to install virtual environtment.
I was confusing because usually project is in the virtual environtment folder(see the pic) but it is not, althought the project run properly.
Anybody can explain?
This is my project layout

A: Everything is OK. Look at screen from my project:


"Ford is invested in building a pipeline of qualified technicians by encouraging schools such as UTI-Bloomfield to include FACT," said Dave Johnson, Ford Motor Company's global director, Service Engineering Operations . "As an added action, Ford recently developed a new program geared toward increasing recruitment and retention of automotive service technicians. This grass roots initiative aims to drive partnerships between automotive training programs and hiring Ford and Lincoln Dealers enabling future career opportunities in this high demand profession."
The Bloomfield campus is laughable! Whyyyyyyyy did the recycled, archaic leadership in this company open up a campus in NJ? 116 miles away from the Exton campus? What will this do to Exton? decrease an already shrinking number of students? Do they really think that they are going to get students from the NY metro area? Do they know the cost of the busses and Subways or how long its going to take? Its going to take a minimum of 66 weeks to even get a flow of grads. RIP UTI your days are numbered.
