As CANVAS aims to spread the word of "people power" to the world, nonviolent struggle proves a powerful tool for achieving freedom, democracy, and human rights. In line with CANVAS's mission, this weekend bore witness to a global Women's March.
January 21st, 2018 marked the one-year anniversary of the Women's March in Washington DC last year. Over the weekend, "thousands of women, femmes, and allies" came together around the world in commemoration and advancement of their cause. Their mission, to "Look Back, March Forward and launch [their] collective 2018 Women's March agenda: #PowerToThePolls". The goal is to empower women and their allies, first by having their voices heard through their votes, and then further through their inclusion in positions of influence and power, especially in government. Moreover, the marches also highlighted the #MeToo and Time's Up movements against sexual assault and harassment.
Women, men, and children around the world marched in solidarity this weekend at over 500 events across six continents including in: France, New Zealand, Kyrgyzstan, Zambia, Spain, Ecuador, Italy, the United Kingdom, the US, and more.
USA – Dozens of Women's Marches filled cities across the United States, at which attendees supported and advocated women's rights and equality. This year's main focus was on making people's voices heard by urging supporters and allies to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. The rally held in Las Vegas, Nevada marked the official anniversary rally of last year's Women's March held in Washington DC. The main focus was "using activism to generate concrete action at the ballot box". Tamika Mallory, co-chairwoman of the national Women's March organization, proclaimed: "We have to march together, we have to organize together, we have to mobilize together and we have to vote together, even when we don't like one another". Other marches were simultaneously taking place in Seattle, Miami, Phoenix and several other cities across the country and even around the world.
Toulouse, France – A #MeToo gathering was organized on Sunday the 21st for the Women's March anniversary weekend. Both women and men gathered to share their experiences, while at the same time learning about others' experiences, in an attempt to produce ideas for positive change. The vision is to create a world in which the sons and daughters of people around the world are respected and treated equally. Power and change comes from people gathering and sharing their experiences, while at the same time supporting each other.
Athens, Greece – The people of Greece marched for change, highlighting that it is time to make a difference and "press for the world that we want". They marched for women's rights, LGBTQ rights, equality in the workplace, refugee rights, climate change, gender equality, and religious tolerance.
Munich, Germany – People marched from Siegestor to Marienplatz "to rally for the foundational rights and dignity of all people and register US citizens to vote in upcoming elections". Meghan Driscoll, the Munich chapter chair of Democrats Abroad, emphasized that "while this march supports women taking on greater leadership roles, a fundamental part of that empowerment is to first listen to women and believe in them". A significant goal of the march was to send a loud and clear message to Washington that "President Trump's personally abhorrent behavior (accused of sexual assault and harassment) will not be tolerated in the future".

U.S. Sources Claim China Could Have Over 150 J-20 Stealth Fighters in Service as Production Expands — Is It Possible?
Daily_Defence - October 12, 2021 0 Comments
Since entry into service in March 2017, when it became the first non-U.S. fifth generation fighter operational anywhere in the world, China's J-20 heavyweight stealth jet has been surrounded by considerable speculation in Japan and the Western world in particular. Estimates for the number of J-20 is in service have varied widely, and while only on the 30 of the fighters have been seen based on their serial numbers the possibility that over 100 are in service, many of them in training units to familiarise the Air Force with complex new fifth-generation technologies, has been raised for some time. Most recently a report from Air Force Magazine speculated not only that China was increasing the scale of production for the J-20, but also that over 150 of the fighters could now be in service. The magazine is published by the Virginia-based professional military and aerospace education association, Air Force Association, which is closely linked to the U.S. Air Force and has a scholarship program for members of the service as well as the Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve.
New estimates of the number of J-20s operational follows a flight of 15 of the aircraft in formation at the Zhuhai Airshow (Airshow China 2021) which was held from September to October, with an additional group of the aircraft parked on the runway at the time. The ability to deploy the high value assets to an airshow in such numbers, which even with around 100 in service would represent close to one fifth of the fleet, was one indicator that there are significant numbers in service. The state run Global Times paper quoted J-20 deputy designer, Wang Hitao, saying industry could "satisfy any level of demand from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force for the J-20," and that regarding development "particularly for equipment like the J-20, we need to do it faster in all aspects, including designing, production, testing, and crafting." The Zhuhai Airshow saw the J-20A variant unveiled with indigenous new WS-10C engines and a number of avionics upgrades, and follows the entry of the more capable J-20B variant into production 15 months prior in July 2020.
A figure of 150 J-20 stealth fighters in service, although higher than most estimates, is highly possible for a number of reasons. Comparing it to the only other heavyweight fifth generation fighter to enter large scale production, the American F-22 Raptor, the J-20 production run after entry into service is coming close to five years. The F-22 saw a production run of 187 airframes excluding prototypes despite production being terminated just six years after the aircraft entered service. Assuming a similar production rate, a figure of around 150 J-20s having left production lines is highly possible. A notable difference between the J-20 and F-22 programs is that China has long placed a much stronger emphasis on heavyweight twin engine fighters, and fields considerably more of these than the U.S. Air Force does while the American fleet outnumbers that of China in light weight low-cost single engine jets.
The possibility that China is producing or intends to produce the J-20 at a much higher rate than the U.S. produced the F-22 is highly possible, with the U.S. relying on the cheaper single engine F-35 to form the bulk of its fifth-generation fleet while China will likely rely more on heavyweight twin engine jets. The possibility that China is holding out on expanding J-20 production until more capable variance of the flights are available, possibly the new J-20B or a future variant using the revolutionary WS-15 engine, is also significant. China notably surpassed the United States in 2020 in the budget allocated to military acquisitions, which combined with its defence sector's significant advantages in efficiency, which make its fighters considerably more cost-effective, means a J-20 production run several times as large as that of the F-22 and likely comfortably exceeding 500 fighters is very possible. Unlike the F-22, which had all variants other than the original F-22A cancelled, the J-20 is expected to enter service in a wide range of variants including possibly strike, electronic warfare and even command and control variants as it enjoys a much longer production run and service life and receives growing investments over time.

Bop Apocalypse: Jazz, Race, the Beats, and Drugs
Interview with Martin Torgoff
http://www.jazzonthetube.com/audio/martintorgoff.mp3
Jazz on the Tube's Ken McCarthy talks with Martin Torgoff about this new book "Bop Apocalypse"
Every jazz fan knows that the jazz scene and the drug scene have intersected at times.
Sometimes benignly in the case of Louis Armstrong's daily cannabis use. Sometimes catastrophically in the case of the tragic heroin epidemic unleashed by Charlie Parker in the 1940s and 50s.
It's not always a pleasant topic, but it is part of the history and as George Seldes used to say "Even the gods can't change history."
In the second half of the interview Martin and Ken go into depth about one of the great heroic stories of jazz and human rights: Billie Holiday's championing of the song "Strange Fruit." You may think you know the whole story. I guarantee you don't. Your appreciation of Lady Day will grow further.

The Government has recently released a number of publications aimed at assisting the rental market. One of these was guides is entitled: Renting a Safe Home: A Guide for Tenants.
On initial reading, it seems that the guide will undoubtedly be useful for many tenants, but could leave some with a few questions.
Narratively, the style of the piece is, as one would expect, official and an accurate reflection of the law. However, if the Government wished to target more underprivileged tenants, perhaps a more user-friendly document could have been better.
Occasionally, the piece could benefit from some illustrations, particularly when speaking about specific hazards. It is obvious that the author is confident addressing the subject matter, but many readers may need further pictorial assistance.
For example, illustrations of a gas safety certificate, unsafe electrical sockets and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms would all aid the piece and assist some tenants. Furthermore, examples of, 'inappropriate positioning of amenities,' mentioned in the guide would have proved to be more useful.
The guide seems to be written in the expectation that revenge evictions will soon be a thing of the past, after the introduction of new legislation in the Deregulation Bill. With this said, the legislation will depend heavily on Environmental Health Officers being able to carry out assessments and subsequently serve improvement notices onto landlords.
With cuts to Local Authority funding, there is concern that many will not be able to provide an Environmental Health Officer to carry out the necessary assessments.
All in all, the guide is accurate and represents the law. This said, it remains to be seen how much it will help the number of tenants who are forced to live in unsafe homes.

Crafts & Things - News and Events
More world class live music at the Coffee Shop, Crafts & Things..
I am delighted to welcome back here the brilliant Iain McFarlane and Ingrid Henderson who will be playing here on Nov. 22nd, and tickets are available, £14 and £12, now.
THIS CONCERT IS NOW SOLD OUT
They are no strangers to Crafts & Things, having played here on an annual basis for many years. I was concerned that I might not be able to get them here this year as they are very busy touring and promoting their new cd " Cockerel in the Creel" but we did find a date which suited, and another evening of traditional Scottish music at its very best is guaranteed.
Iain and Ingrid are Lochaber based musicians steeped in traditional music all their lives. They both have performed over many years all over the world, particularly for Iain with Blazin' Fiddles, and for Ingrid , with Cliar Both are principle tutors at the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music in Plockton, and both play regularly as founder members of the Glenfinnan Ceildh Band. Individually and together they are hugely sought after, and we are lucky indeed to welcome them back here.
Every one of their concerts here over the years has been sold out, with a long waiting list of people hoping for a returned ticket. You can reserve yours now by responding to this email.
About the new cd:
"Combining years of experience playing with bands such as Blazin' Fiddles and Cliar, multi-instrumentalists, and stalwarts of the traditional music world, Iain MacFarlane & Ingrid Henderson create a sound which is reflective of the stunning, culture-rich Lochaber area they grew up in. Based mainly on harp and fiddle, and mixing traditional and newly written material, they combine rousing marches, jigs and reels with poignant slow airs of love and loss, giving the listener a unique insight into the rich culture of the West Highlands."
"Stories of the derivation of tunes and recollections enrich MacFarlane's superbly fluent, always expressive way with a melody" Rob Adams, The Herald
"Ingrid is a musician of quite outstanding calibre, a virtuoso in terms of sensibility." Living Tradition
We have been supporting live music here at the Coffee Shop, Crafts & Things for just on thirty years. We started before the Coffee Shop as it is now, was built in the days of the now sadly long defunct Glencoe and Loch Leven Music Festival, when we had, when weather permitted, bands playing in the garden, at precisely the spot where they play inside now.
Over the years there have been some many amazing evenings featuring the best musicianship the country has to offer, much of it world class. Artists like Fred Morrison, Iain Macfarlane and family, Duncan Chisholm, Andy Irvine, Mary Ann Kennedy, Lily Neil, Clive Carroll, Daimh, Kaela Rowan , James Mackintosh, Tim Edey, Mike Vass, Eilidh Shaw, Tannara, HoRo, Gnoss, Fras, Mairi Campbell, Cera Impala, Ross Martin, Eabhal, Ivan Drever, Iona Fyfe with Luc McNally and Charlie Grey, Kate Young with Patsy Reid and Su-a Lee, John Doyle, John Goldie, Jarlath Henderson, Marc Clements, Eilidh Steel and Mark Neil, plus a few others like Kosmos, Claude Bourbon, Kieran Goss, and Corinne West, are just a few of those who have wowed audiences here.
Artists who have played here back a bit in time include Brian McNeil, The Wrigley sisters, Ashley McIsaac, Cara Dillon, and the sadly now deceased Michael Mara.
And going back into the mists of time and my memory banks, Sprangeen, the all woman's group played long ago. And many others have joined in with visiting musicians, the list goes on, and my memory does not serve me well…..
I continue to try to provide a venue not just to the well-established, but also the up and coming musicians, and my feeling is that there are more of them than ever before. But the format does not change. The artists get all the door money, fed and accommodated. Almost all of the marketing of ticket sales is via the email list I have which you are welcome to join if you have not already done so.
It's a venue that has no stage, borrows a sound system when needed, has no special lighting, but which both audiences and musicians seem to love. Its intimate, warm and loads of fun. Although some come from Edinburgh and Glasgow for gigs here, the audience catchment area is a small one, which is why there are only concerts on at most twice a month, and in the autumn, winter and spring. In the summer I am just too busy!
I am fully booked for msuicians to play here until December 2019.
If you would like to be the first to hear of forthcoming events at Crafts & Things, just drop me an email.
The owner of the business David Cooper has written a book, called "A Gap Life"
Capturing the spirit of the 60s, this is the story of one man's physical and spiritual journey through those extraordinary years.
Starting in Aberdeen, finishing in Glencoe, David Cooper travels across Europe, North America, and Asia. From a commune in California to the rooftops of Istanbul, traversing the deserts of Iran and Afghanistan, crossing the Karakoram on foot, staying in Tibetan monasteries and remote Sumatran tribal villages, travelling alone, he encounters many iconic 60's figures.
From R.D. Laing, John Lennon, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Allen Ginsberg, the acknowledged founder of the Beat Generation, David's travels and meetings give us a unique insight into a fascinating era, one that changed the world.
Its available at the shop.
We'll make regular updates to our latest news stories and the forthcoming events we have planned. Please visit regularly to keep up-to-date.
If you would like to have notification by email when the tickets for this and other concerts become available please email david@glencoe.plus.com asking to be put onto the email list.


Previous research has taught us that the typical nonprofessional information seeker on the World Wide Web submits very short queries resulting in low-precision results. We show that this behaviour is repeated also by intranet users and therefore apply query expansion (QE) techniques to improve their search results. Arguing that casual searchers are likely to be unwilling to engage in the dialogue required for interactive QE, we provide an automatic QE system based on Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). Having received mixed results, our analysis suggests that automatic QE based on a collection dependent knowledge structure may work for explorative, i.e. broader, queries whilst targeted and more focused queries suffer from query drift.

This amazing building is situated in Hanover, Germany. It is a beautiful man made structure and a technique of giving a warm work atmosphere to approximately 1500 staff members of the bank.
The building also includes a restaurant and an exhibition center for the staff of the bank. The structure is a very good method of going green, as it is an Eco-friendly design built to reduce carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere by maximizing the use of natural daylight. Such beautiful and efficient structures add to the beauty of the city. The building is new and is recently completed and is the hottest tourist destination of Hanover.
The building appears like a number of steel and glass boxed are piled over each other. The best part of the building is the good restaurant for the staff of the bank. The restaurant has a roof in shape of butterfly wings and also a tower that is approximately 20 meters tall and it changes colors with the changing position of the sun. The thought of it is so beautiful and natural that it has turned to be the major tourist attractions of the city.

The Domino Effect – will unrest infect the Arab world?
By Felicity Spector
Leaders across the Arab world are living in fear that the unrest that triggered the collapse of the Tunisian government could head their way, writes Felicity Spector.
Food riots in Algeria and protests over economic hardship in Jordan – where the the Muslim Brotherhood warned that price rises could lead to an "unprecedented explosion", along the North African model. Protestors setting themselves on fire in Algeria – apparently in despair over their bleak economic future – four men dying in the last week alone. And in Egypt today, another man set himself ablaze over poor living standards.
It all seems like a grim echo of events in Tunisia, where 26-year-old jobless graduate Mohamed Bouazizi set fire to himself last month, after he was prevented from selling vegetables to make a living. When he died from his injuries, it triggered mass protests over youth unemployment, soaring prices and poverty – and a political leadership that ignored their concerns.
Mass protests became a mass revolt – and Tunisia's authoritarian leader fled into exile, his government collapsing around him.
It's got leaders across the Arab world expressing alarm – and calling for calm. In Iran, the foreign ministry said it was 'worried' about the Tunisian events – while the parliament speaker Ali Larijani warned that "the behaviour of America and some western countries is ridiculous…They are the root cause of dictatorship and pressure in Tunisia and now they pretend to sympathise with the Tunisian nation".
While the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was more alarmist. "Tunisia now lives in fear", he said. "Families could be raided and slaughtered in their bedrooms and the citizens in the street killed as if it was the Bolshevik or the American revolution."
Even for the most repressive regimes, it's been hard to stop the images of Tunisia's uprising from being broadcast across the world, not just on cable television, but amplified by the internet, especially social networking sites. Tunisia's educated middle class is highly adept at using sites like Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about protests and rally others to their cause.
But the influence of the net goes further, despite official attempts to contain it. Several Facebook pages in Egypt have called for mass street protests later this month, calling it a "Day of Revolution against torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment". Others have simply demanded that President Hosni Mubarak start packing his bags, while on Twitter, a contributor claims: "All countries in the Arab World (are) sitting on a volcano that might erupt anytime!"
There are similar calls in the United Arab Emirates, where one online forum claims: "Tyrants don't last forever… This is a clear message to every dictatorial regime that rules by iron and fire".
"Tyrants don't last forever… This is a clear message to every dictatorial regime that rules by iron and fire". Online forum comment in UAE
Eager to avoid the fate of Tunisia's exiled president Ben Ali, officials in neighbouring countries have already begun taking action – Jordan and Libya have started reducing some food prices, while the head of the Algerian president's party, Abdelaziz Belkhadem, told a newspaper: "A wise man must take what happened in Tunisia as a lesson. The best protection and the best legitimacy are always the ones provided by the people."
Algeria has now reduced taxes on sugar and cooking oil in a bid to curb popular anger over living costs.
But the idea that Tunisia could simply set off a wave of similar revolts across the Arab world might be too simplistic. In the Telegraph, Claire Spencer from Chatham House describes its situation as somewhat unique. Tunisia, she argues, has been forced to "combine trade liberalisation and greater openness to the outside world out of necessity", with no substantial oil or gas exports to rely on.
But she goes on to warn that Tunisia's structural problems are mirrored elsewhere, not least "the failing of the pact between the rulers and the ruled; that in exchange for their exclusion from politics, the state will provide its citizens with jobs, services and economic growth. This has not happened, or has not happened fast enough for the region's burgeoning population", she writes.
And it's the potential power of this youthful population, one which is becoming more confident, more vociferous and more willing to turn frustration into open protest, which is worrying autocratic leaders across the Arab world.

Does Volcarona follow the same pattern as the Swords of Justice?
Like if you defeat Volcarona and then defeat the Eilte 4, will it come back at a higher level like the Swords of Justice?
But in Pokémon Black and White 2 despite there still being one Volcarona if you defeat it on the first encounter, you will get another shot to capture it when you have defeated the Elite 4 and Champion and have been entered in the Hall of Fame. On the first encounter Volcarona will be at Level 35 and on the second encounter it will be at Level 65.
But you can still evolve Larvesta from the egg in route 18.
Yeah but I never said that if you defeat Volcarona in Relic Castle there wasn't another way to get it, I just said that if you defeat Volcarona in Relic Castle in Black and White you won't get another chance of capturing it.
i think its a pseudo-legendary... maybe?
@Lupus not necessarily; a pseudo-legendary Pokemon is merely a non-legendary Pokemon with a base stat total of 600 or above (as it has the power of a legendary but isn't one = pseudo-legendary/fake-legendary) it just so happens that all pseudo-legendaries belong to a 3-stage evolution line. Volcarona therefore is not a pseudo-legendary as it does not have a base stat total of 600 or above.
Wierd behaviour of my volcarona?
Why are Espeon, Volcarona and Sunflora the same species ?
How do I get volcarona in Relic Castle in Black 2?
Flamethrower or heat wave for my Volcarona?
Can and how do you catch Volcarona pre-game in Black/white 2?
Larvesta can get more attack stat than Volcarona. What?
Is there a Volcarona in route 3 on white 2 ?

Albungen ist ein Stadtteil von Eschwege im nordhessischen Werra-Meißner-Kreis.

Geographische Lage
Albungen liegt rund 6,5 km (Luftlinie) nordwestlich von Eschwege. Es befindet sich im Tal der Werra, die östlich am Dorf vorbeifließt und in die südlich des Orts die Berka mündet. Jenseits der Werra erheben sich die äußersten Südwestausläufer des Höhenzugs Gobert. Im Westen führen die Bahnstrecke Bebra–Göttingen und die Bundesstraße 27 an Albungen vorbei.

Nachbarorte sind Motzenrode im Nordosten, Jestädt im Südosten, Niederhone im Südsüdosten, Weidenhausen im Südsüdwesten, Wellingerode im Südwesten, Hitzerode im Nordwesten und Kleinvach im Norden. Südsüdöstlich oberhalb von Albungen thront jenseits der Werra die Burg Fürstenstein, nur etwa 1,2 km westlich die Burgruine Schnepfenburg und etwa weitere 500 m westlich der Burgstall der Burg Bilstein.

Geschichte
Der Ort ist als Albungun im Gau Germarmark schon 1075 urkundlich erwähnt. Im Jahre 1236 wurde es Alfungen genannt und bereits 1284 wurde es als Albungen bezeichnet. Im Mittelalter bis zum Aussterben 1807 übten die Diede zum Fürstenstein die Grundherrschaft aus.

Für Albungen besteht die evangelische Kirchengemeinde Albungen-Hitzerode, mit der Evangelischen Kirche Albungen. Vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde im Dorf Tabak angebaut. Im Jahre 1939 hatte der Ort 331 Einwohner. Schon damals gehörte Albungen zum Amtsgericht und Finanzamt Eschwege.

Am 1. April 1972 wurde der bis dahin selbständige Ort im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Hessen in die Kreisstadt Eschwege eingegliedert.

Kulturdenkmäler
Siehe: Liste der Kulturdenkmäler in Albungen

Sportvereine
Der Radfahrerverein Edelweiß Albungen 1929 e. V. und der TTC 1962 Albungen e.V. sind die beiden einzigen im Ligaspielbetrieb aktiven Vereine in Albungen. Der Radfahrerverein ist ein regionales Aushängeschild im Kunstradfahren und Radball. Im Jahr 2019 richtete der Verein einen Weltcup-Spieltag im Radball aus. Vereinsvorsitzender ist David Stübner seit 2016. Bis dahin hatte Gerd Gries, heute Ehrenvorsitzender, den Verein über 40 Jahre lang geführt.

Der TTC, der örtliche Tischtennisclub, ist der älteste eigenständige Tischtennisverein des früheren Kreises Eschwege. Seit der Gründung im Jahr 1962 durch 27 Mitglieder spielen Frauen und Männer gleichberechtigt im Club mit, die Albunger gelten im Werra-Meißner-Kreis als Pioniere des Frauen-Tischtennis. Im Jahr 2003 stieg die 1. Damenmannschaft in die Hessenliga auf – der bis heute größte Erfolg. Im Jahr 2015 wurde die 1. Damenmannschaft Fünfter bei den Deutschen Pokalmeisterschaften der Bezirksoberligisten in Gütersloh. Bei den Herren war der Aufstieg in die Verbandsliga im Jahr 2017 und der sechste Platz in dieser Klasse im Jahr 2020 der bislang größte Triumph. Vereinsvorsitzender ist Nico Beck. Ehrenpräsident ist Siegfried Furchert, der bis zum Jahr 2016 insgesamt 53 Jahre an der Spitze des Vereins gestanden hatte.

Bundesweite Bekanntheit erlangte der TTC 1962 Albungen e. V. wegen des verhältnismäßig hohen Zuschaueraufkommens bei Heimspielen der 1. Herrenmannschaft. Allein in den Jahren 2016 bis 2018 spielte der Club sechsmal vor über 100 Zuschauern und wies in diesen Jahren einen Zuschauerschnitt von bis zu 70 Besuchern pro Partie auf.

Infrastruktur
In Albungen gibt es eine evangelische Kirche und eine evangelische Gemeindebücherei, eine Sporthalle und einen Spielplatz.

How many times a day do you tell your kids to wash their hands? How many times do they listen? If you're getting them to comply five to ten times per day, then you're doing a pretty darn good job. But it's not only hand washing FREQUENCY that matters. It's hand washing QUALITY that really prevents illness.
Touching the face is generally how germs get INTO the body, but it's also a way for germs to get OUT of the body too. So, if you have a cold or a flu and then you touch your face or nose, you are transferring those germs to your hands and then touching a doorknob, a desk, a computer or another person. If you really think about it, the times per hour you get germs on your hands is much higher than the times per hour that you wash your hands and that can lead to sickness.
Besides the obvious times like after they've touched something dirty or if if their hands are visibly filthy, kids should always wash their hands after coming inside (including coming home from school), before and after they eat and after they use the bathroom.
Wet hands first. Add soap. (Mild soap is fine, it does not need to be antibacterial soap.) Kids should soap up their hands and rub them together while singing their ABCs one time through, which equates to about 20 seconds (fun fact, most people only wash their hands for 6 seconds - that's adults!), then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. "I've seen kids put soap on their hands and then immediately run their hands under water. That just rinses the soap away, but they claim they're 'washing their hands.'" says Dr. Vahanvaty. "The soap has to work into the hands for about the length of time it takes to sing the ABC song to really work." Dr. Vahanvaty also reminds parents that if they have the choice, getting kids to a sink to wash hands with soap and water is preferable. But if there is no where else to go, instant hand sanitizer is a good option.
Remember, about 80 percent of common infections are transmitted through hands - imagine how nice it would be to have 80 percent fewer sick days?

Houses raided in the search for Anxiang Du
COPS hunting a Midland man after a family of four were murdered in their home have raided a number of properties in London.
Jifeng Ding, his wife Helen and their daughters Alice, 12, and 18-year-old Xing were found stabbed to death in Wootton, Northampton, on 1 May.
Police have launched a nationwide appeal to track prime suspect Anxiang Du, 52, from Coventry.
Raids carried out this week have failed to turn up any new information for investigators.
Detective Superintendent Glyn Timmins said: "It is difficult to say with any certainty if he remains in the UK or has left the country, and as a result we have extended the search for him into other countries.
"I believe AnXiang Du is likely to seek support from within his own community and I therefore believe that members of the Chinese community may be able to provide valuable information to the enquiry."


Experts agree more research needs to be done to determine which keto diet has the potential to preserve muscle and help increase the chances of sustained weight loss. But similar studies suggest the keto version analyzed in this study may hold promise. For example, a randomized study published in December 2014 in the journal Endocrine found that a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet was more effective at sustaining weight loss and preserving lean muscle mass in obese people than a standard low-calorie diet after one year.

Ward Kimball, Disneyland Railroad #5
Disneyland Railroad locomotives are known for being named after railroad pioneers. Disneyland Railroad #5 ended the tradition when it was named 'Ward Kimball'; but they do for good reason.
When Disneyland began planning for its 50th anniversary celebration, a very unique idea was suggested to the company's hierarchy: introduce the newest locomotive on the Disneyland Railroad, which would bring the roster to 5 locomotives. It was a logical decision for many reasons both for financial and publicity reasons. In keeping with Disney tradition, the locomotive was renamed to honor someone. Unlike the other locomotives in their fleet which were named after important railroad industry figures, Disney opted to pay tribute to one of their own legends, Ward Kimball.

A Brief History of the Disneyland Railroad #5
Originally known as the Maud L steam locomotive, #5 is a Boston-type steam locomotive with a wheel arrangement of 2-4-4T. It was manufactured in 1902 by Baldwin Locomotive Works for use on the Laurel Valley Sugarcane Plantation in Louisiana. After its early career hauling trains on the Laurel Valley Sugarcane Plantation, No. 5 was transferred to the Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio where it stayed as an excursion service train and also on static display until it was acquired by Disneyland in 1998.
It was restored in 2004 and entered service at the Disneyland Railroad as an excursion train in 2005. While many names were debated, the locomotive was renamed after Ward Kimball. Kimball, an ardent railfan like his friend and boss Walt Disney, was one of Disney's legendary "9 Old Men", the core group of Disney animators responsible for some of Disney's most famous animated films. To honor Ward Kimball, this locomotive was painted with a gold leaf silhouette as a way of commemorating Kimball's most famous work; Jiminy Cricket.
The engine's whistle was replaced with a 4-inch Lonergan 3-inch 3-chime whistle in 2014 after its original 3-inch single-chime Lunkenheimer whistle developed problems.

Today, Engine #5 remains active on the railroad. The new whistle blows, and steam rises as it goes around the track for fans of all ages to enjoy. You can learn more about #5, the other locomotives of Disneyland, and plan your visit by visiting the Disneyland Railroad website.

Thinking of Buying Honeywell Stock? Here's What You Need to Know
The giant industrial conglomerate faces substantial headwinds, but its management is doing everything it can to overcome them.

It's been a difficult year for Honeywell International (NYSE:HON). And that's understandable -- there's just no way for industrial companies to avoid being impacted by the weakness in the economy. However, if there's one industrial player that's taking all possible steps to wring every bit of growth that it can out of its end markets, it's Honeywell, and that is positioning the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company well for the future.
How Honeywell makes money
With industrial conglomerates, it always makes sense to break out earnings by segment. For Honeywell, aerospace remains the biggest revenue generator despite the carnage 2020 has wrought on the airline industry.
Q3 2020 Profit
Honeywell Building Technologies (HBT)
Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT)
Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS)
$1.553 billion
Data source: Honeywell International.
Aside from the SPS segment, the numbers look pretty dismal, but there are other details to consider. First, as the chart below shows, all four of the segments improved their performance compared to the second quarter.
Data source: Honeywell International
Second, within each of the segments, there are businesses primed to recover well given a rebound in the broader economy.
Everyone is naturally concerned by the slump in commercial aviation in 2020 and its weak outlook for 2021. On the other hand, Honeywell's aerospace segment derived 56% of its sales from the defense and space industries in the third quarter. In addition, the business and general aviation (BGA) market is typically responsible for around a third of Honeywell's commercial aviation revenue. Both facts should give investors cause for optimism.
The defense and space segment is likely to remain stable, though CFO Greg Lewis said during the recent earnings call that the company foresees it growing at a "reduced pace versus our 2020 growth rates" in 2021. Meanwhile, the BGA market is far less impacted by the COVD-19 pandemic. Lewis noted that BGA aftermarket sales "went from down 50% to only down 28%, so we saw some nice sequential improvement on the BGA space." Moreover, Honeywell's management believes that business jet usage will be back at 2019 levels by the middle of 2021.
Honeywell Building Technologies
Management is definitely not standing still with the HBT segment. CEO Darius Adamczyk believes there's a growth opportunity for the company as building owners invest in creating healthier indoor environments, and Lewis talked of a $600 million pipeline of orders for healthy building solutions.
In addition, the initial focus of the recently announced agreement with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) will be in the HBT segment. In a nutshell, Honeywell has created a building management software on Microsoft's cloud platform that will allow building owners to gather real-time data in order to better run and maintain their facilities.
Performance materials and technologies
The PMT segment has exposure to the price of oil and the automotive industry through its process automation, refining catalyst and absorbents (UOP), and advanced materials businesses -- and those dragged on the company's results in 2020. Unfortunately, those businesses are unlikely to improve much in the near future: As Adamczyk noted, many of PMT's oil-and-gas-focused customers have cut their spending budgets for this year.
Clearly, it's going to take a combination of higher oil prices, some improvement in the global economy, and some loosening of spending in the heavy industries sector for the PMT segment to improve its results in 2021.
On a more positive note, automotive production has come back, and Adamczyk noted that PMT had seen "slide outs and push outs, but we have not seen cancellations" of projects.
Honeywell's strongest segment right now, SPS contains some businesses that have seen demand surge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Honeywell's personal protective equipment sales were up by double-digit percentages in the third quarter.
Similarly, Honeywell's warehouse automation business, Intelligrated, continues to see strong growth as retailers make heavy investments in e-commerce warehousing -- another market that's been boosted by the pandemic. Meanwhile, the company's investment in new scanning and mobility products appears to be paying off, with "strong demand" coming for them according to Lewis.
What it means to investors
Overall, there's still a lot of uncertainty around Honeywell's prospects for 2021, but the company looks better positioned than most in its industry. The aerospace segment should find support from the business aviation, defense, and space markets. Meanwhile, HBT is being actively positioned for growth, and SPS is already in growth mode. PMT clearly faces challenges, but a recovery in the global economy is likely to help stabilize it, too.
As such, if you invest in Honeywell, then you'll be buying into a company that's pulling out all the stops in its efforts to outperform its end markets in 2021.

The amazing image below comes from a website featuring Unexpected Motifs in Renaissance Art.
This painting was the central panel of a double-sided triptych Miracle of the Snow made for Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome. The 'UFO-like' clouds are quite an unusual depiction of sky.
They looked like the glowing outline of a double box kite with a tail like an octupus arm. They moved through the sky as if they were swimming in water!
is mythology partially a function of the limitations of language?
Mythology is inevitable, it is natural, it is an inherent necessity of language, if we recognize in language the outward form and manifestation of thought; it is in fact the dark shadow which language throws upon thought, and which can never disappear till language becomes entirely commensurate with thought, which it never will. Mythology, no doubt, breaks out more fiercely during the early periods of the history of human thought, but it never disappears altogether. Depend upon it, there is mythology now as there was in the time of Homer, only we do not perceive it, because we ourselves live in the very shadow of it, and because we all shrink from the full meridian light of truth… Mythology, in the highest sense, is the power exercised by language on thought in every possible sphere of mental activity.
This page randomly generates "new age" text. In my view, some of it is true despite the fact it's supposed to be a joke.
The universe would like you to take a day off.
Our promises to you are not taken lightly. We are One in the experience of everlasting life.
It is a perfect Icosa-Dodecahedron that encircles the Earth and carries the Paradise Codes.

Dear Ones, it will not be too long before we will be amongst you once more.

The times we live in could be likened to the baking of a cake. First, you break the eggs - that's a violent act right there. Then, you take a bunch of different ingredients and you dump them all together in a bowl, and you whip the heck out of it. And while you're whipping, when you look at the gooey mess that's in front of you, it's hard to imagine that anything good could ever come out of it. But after you pour it in a pan and add the heat and time in the oven, out comes a beautiful, delicious cake for you to enjoy.
It's the same with what we're going through in these times of great change. Almost everywhere you look, people are stressed. Our lives are filled with fear, suffering, scarcity, and deception, and, from the looks of it, you would hardly imagine that anything good could ever come out of the mess we're in. But it can. Indeed, a wondrous new paradise on Earth is in the making, and it is up to us to bring it into manifestation.
Today there are 263 stories on Google News about the phenomenon.
The problem with WoW is that the whole game is engineered to be addictive and to get you in to a headlock. First of all you've got the point and the level system you have to work through - because we're all fallen sinners we are never content so you start the night saying right I'm gonna get to lvl. 52 tonight, then you get there and it's approaching mid-night and your thinking, well i might as well keep going for a bit to see what the lvl. 52 quests are like and hey presto before you know it your deep into lvl. 52 and you just know you've blown your chances of making it to the library by 9am the next morning! The other thing that makes it addictive and gets you in a headlock the the whole Guild thing. If your in a Guild with say a gang of player around lvl. 50 then you can't take a week or two away from the game because when you get back the rest of your Guild will be deep into the lvl. 60s. You just have to keep playing daily to keep up with everyone else. Vicious circle.
I've just been introduced to Subflow.net which offers enjoyable electronic music via online radio!
Today's lesson is: when one is working on establishing new habits, it is important to stay loving towards the other people in one's life who are still reflecting the old patterns.
While it may be preferable to get away from those people for awhile, it's not always possible, which can also lead to feelings of being trapped.
Today I scanned this old photo from High School. I was testing out the autotimer on my 35mm camera.
The "listen" message on the t-shirt is a good reminder.


Rob Carr over at Political Dumpground has provided me with my third glimpse at why twitter can be useful*.
Melissa Lee took a swipe at Phil Goff for wearing a red tie to the memorial service for the Christchurch Earthquake as apparently this was politicising it. Ignoring the fact that it was essentially a political function (which most of the country was shut out of and didn't really know what was going on) it was a stupid remark to make which has put her again in the history books. The colours of Cantebury are red and black and so that is exactly what he wore along with no doubt half the people there.
Ok, I'm going to just do a few of my favorites because I'm sure that Rob would appreciate the traffic for the rest.
acemcwicked: If you take away all of the letters of 'Phil Goff' and add some different ones, but less of them, you get 'Satan'#philgoffevil Labour can always rely on Melissa Lee to increase their publicity.
* Yep, I'm an skeptic when it comes to some technologies. After you've seen your first hundred or so of "killer app like Lotus 123"# turn up, flare for a while and then disappear, you learn to be skeptical of investing too much effort into them (especially if they have the word Microsoft associated with them). For the last couple of decades in the computer industry, I find a actual use for them first and only then will I invest some effort into them. I found the twitter feed in google useful for seeing what was happening in the Assange stuff last year, and for the Japanese earthquake this year.
# And that statement on its own should tell you how long I've seen them happening.
Twitter seems good for celebrities who want to get news out or interact more directly with their fans. Also good for marketing companies trying to hype new products. Finally good for keeping up to date on fast-moving events, particularly if you want on-the-ground coverage.
Pretty much what my conclusion is. The first two are not useful as far as I'm concerned. The last one I'm looking at. But I do find it repeats a lot. The links are what makes it interesting in google but it needs a filter to remove repeated links. When I have a reason to use it next time I'll have a look around for a feeder that does that.
I disagree Lanth, I find twitter hardly takes up any space at all.
But the twitter did just turn five which is a pretty long lasting flare.
Yeah, but I usually find that the 7-8 year mark is the one to watch with software. It usually takes between 2 and 3 years to go from crap to usable and to build up an sizable group of users. They slide along for a few years scaling up the business. Which is when they often fail because that is when they find the flaw in the business model .
Then one of a few things happens. They cash up and the new owners kill it. They try to do a grandiose version x and it is over hyped and/or requires systems that won't exist in the market for another 5 years and/or makes the UI unusable and/or they take 10 times as long to produce as they expected and/or a competitor builds a clone and without the legacy code and business systems it is better and/or they hype it to shareholder and investors too much and when one of the preceding happens they all cut their losses and/or etc. Or they start to feature add to the point that it is unusable. Or they waste their capital trying to repeat the success with another product.
After 7-8 years the system is has either successfully extended into the future or it chugs along for a few years slowly dying.
I look at things when they come out and decide if I can use them. I early adopt if they help with something I need (google search for instance was far better than Alta Vista) or the organisation has a long track records of producing things that work (Apple for instance).
Doing new version x, or making UI unusable are two things that don't apply as much to online applications. One of twitter's "core competencies" would be the simple (but powerful) UI.
It could easily go under if sold, or be feature-creeped to death; the latter being a big threat to Facebook.
So are you saying there is still time to be the 300,000,001st early adopter?
🙂 Actually I thought I was saying that I either adopt very early if I can find a direct use when I first look at something OR I tend to wait for more than 7 years before I start thinking that there might be something there after all – ie a late adopter.
Twitter for me is in the latter class. I have only found one use for it so far, and that was from a different app (google) making it useful.
I used to think twitter pretty naff but I gave it a go coincidentally on the day of the second Christchurch Earthquake and was amazed at the flood of tweets that came in. One of the first had a link to a photo of the cathedral.
How does one use the twitter to read the other hash tags?
It's part of the search function. Just type the hashtag (with or without the "#") into the search box.
I was slow to come to Twitter, but I now think it's a great form of social media. It's a good way to connect with people in an instant, and when there's a big event breaking it's always on Twitter first.
I have had Twitter exchanges with journalists and politicians that I would never otherwise be able to communicate with in any meaningful way.
There's plenty of rubbish on Twitter too, but the easiest way to avoid reading someone else's rubbish is to not follow boring people.
BTW, the #philgoffevil hashtag was my creation. My vast ego requires this to be known to the world.
Congrats Scott, that hashtag did provide a second reason for twitter.
But I'm arrogant enough that I prefer my own company and live a irreconcilably happily antisocial life, except when Lyn, family or friends force me to be social. Going on social media sounds more like a duty without obligation.
I only got involved here (a sort of social media) because of the usual reason – a friend wanted my skills and was prepared to ask.
Many. many thanks to your friend – a wise man.


Rated 5 out of 5 by AuntStacyP from Comfortable and stylish Bought this to wear for work and it's so fabulous, I got two more in other colors. Some reviewers have said they don't like the taffeta collar but it works great on my shape. It's one of those pieces that looks fantastic whether your jacket is on or off. I get compliments every time I wear it. Most importantly, it's very comfortable, a nice combination of knit and taffeta that lets you move without being clingy. Also, it washes well, delicate cycle and hang dry. A great basic for my work wardrobe.

Home Sun & Moon Eclipses Port Vila, Vanuatu
June 6, 2020 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Port Vila, Vanuatu
Near max in Port Vila
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, in Port Vila
Began:
Sat, Jun 6, 2020 at 4:45 am
Sat, Jun 6, 2020 at 6:11 am -0.417 Magnitude
Ended:
1 hour, 28 minutes
June 6, 2020 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Port Vila
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Port Vila. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (VUT) for Port Vila.
4:45 am Sat, Jun 6
Maximum in Port Vila This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Port Vila. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Port Vila because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. 247°
6:14 am Sat, Jun 6 Setting Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. 247°
6:24 am Sat, Jun 6 Not directly visible Maximum Eclipse Below horizon 246°
8:04 am Sat, Jun 6 Not directly visible Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon 236°
During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow did not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

"Can I order two desserts instead of dinner?" I often pleaded as a child.
My indulgent request was never granted, but the temptation has persisted my entire life. Even as an adult, no meal felt complete until consuming at least one morsel of something resembling dessert.
I dramatically reduced sugar intake last year, but still always craved "a little something" sweet after every meal. Carbs were also the focus of most of my snacking throughout each day.
Carb-aholic? Admittedly yes. But I never knew there was another way. I'd heard of people who claimed to not crave sweets, but I never believed it possible. Unicorns, I told myself.
I learned that myo-inositol and berberine can control cravings by helping with insulin resistance.
Never having struggled much with weight, I naively never considered insulin-anything could be an issue for me, but still, decided it was worth a try.
Skeptically, I took 1 capsule of each with dinner that evening. To my surprise, at the end of a small meal, I felt eerily satisfied and wasn't left wanting more.
The next day, excited to continue, I took them with every meal and not once did I have an urge to consume extra carbs or sweets. What's more, when eyeing the carb-rich snacks I used to crave, they didn't seem appealing at all!
Not surprisingly, I effortlessly shed some pounds that I wasn't sad to see go, and my energy levels increased.
As for no longer wanting to grab that piece of cake, utter disbelief are the only words that come to mind.
How do these amazing supplements work?!
They both target insulin resistance which, surprisingly, is estimated to affect more than 80 million Americans.
If you have extra weight in the midsection / abdomen, regardless of how much you weigh overall, insulin resistance may very well be the cause.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps unlock the body's cells so that sugar (glucose) from the food we eat can be used by the cells for energy.
When a person has insulin resistance, cells do not respond properly to insulin and thus cannot easily absorb glucose from the bloodstream. As a result, the body needs higher levels of insulin to help glucose enter cells.
Simply stated, insulin resistance disrupts our ability to effectively regulate our sugar intake.
If you are insulin resistant your brain will not get the message that insulin is trying hard to convey (that you have high levels of sugar in your bloodstream).
This explanation exactly accounts for why I always craved carbs / desserts after every meal. And now, the two supplements I'm using are preventing my insulin issues and as a result, stopping my cravings.
19 Inositol (Myo-inositol) Benefits: PCOS, Anxiety, Weight Loss.
For more information and many other benefits, please see, Top 20 Scientific Health Benefits of Berberine (With References).
Links are provided to the products I'm using, however, you can use any brand as long as you verify that it's myo-inositol.
Because I've been asked… for the berberine, I'm opening a 450 mg capsule and discarding about half of it (I do NOT suggest tasting the powder!) There are only two brands I found that sell 250 mg and they cost more than twice as much. You also could simply take 2 full caps a day, I just prefer to spread it out and take less.
Commonly accepted upper limits are 4 g myo-inositol and 1.5 g berberine. Some people take very high amounts of myo-inositol (8-16 g per day) for OCD and PCOS, but since I prefer to take the minimum effective dose and these doses work perfectly – I did not raise it beyond 2 grams.
I've been so excited about how well these supplements work together that I've encouraged several close friends to try them as well. In every case so far, they're equally astonished and report the same benefits.
Significantly reduced or eliminated cravings, resulting in lost pounds.
If you find it difficult to pass a sweet shop without longingly ogling the window, or can't go without an afternoon bag of chips, those cravings may very likely be caused by insulin resistance.
If so, chances are excellent that you will also find relief with these two miracle supplements.
Like I was, you're probably thinking it's impossible, but I've never before enjoyed salads or lean protein meals like I do now.
I can honestly say myo-inositol and berberine have changed my entire relationship with food in ways I never imagined possible. I've also been feeling greater contentment with life in general, which is most likely due to the other benefits of myo-inositol.
Every day, I catch glimpses of the snack foods I used to eat… ice cream, potato chips, crackers, cookies, cheesecake, even cereal, sitting abandoned in my freezer and pantry. Unbelievably, I have not once been tempted to eat any of them.
To me, that's an incredible payoff from such a simple solution!
If you suspect insulin resistance could be fueling your cravings, I truly hope you'll consider giving these two supplements a try.
They are inexpensive, not known to have common side effects, and very much worth the small investment for the chance you may experience your own success story and be as thoroughly impressed as I am!
Cheers to our good health!

I'm going to give this a try!!
The picture and link you posted of the Berberine supplement shows it's 900mg. If you cut that in half as you suggested it's 450mg. I'm confused at how you came up with 250mg. I'm only asking because I'm interested in trying it and would like to start with a lower dose so I'm wondering if you're taking 250 or 450.
The 900 on that bottle is for 2 capsules. I'm sorry for the confusion.
Ok. That makes sense. Thank you!

Movie ReviewsJohn Wick: Chapter 2 – Let The Bodies Hit The Floor (Early Review)
Keith NoakesFebruary 9, 2017
If you would like to read my review of the first film, click here.
Synopsis: After unleashing mayhem on the criminals who killed his dog, retired super assassin John Wick retrieves his beloved 1969 Mustang from the Russian mobsters who stole it, only to be pursued in a spectacular high-speed car chase through crowded New York City streets. Returning home, John's plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D'Antonio shows up on his doorstep with a gold "marker" compelling him to repay past favors. Ordered by Winston, kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the organization's ancient code, John reluctantly accepts the assignment to take out Santino's own sister, Gianna, the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate. (eOne Films)
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Ian McShane.
Writer: Derek Kolstad
Running Time: 122mins
Amazon Pre-Order
iTunes Pre-Order
The first film came of nowhere (even though I caught it late), with some of the greatest pure action since the first Taken film with Keanu Reeves leading the way playing the notorious assassin. The thing with a lot of action sequels, or even most sequels, perhaps coast on the success of their predecessors but this did not happen here as this new film took what made the first film great and just expanded on it, including the body count.
John Wick (Reeves) just can't stay retired. He thought he was out before the first film and was pulled back in and this film was no different. The premise from the first film was a little silly but was better this time as a mobster from John's past named Santino D'Antonio (Scamarcio) showed up to his house, compelling him to do another job for him. Wick refused despite D'Antonio invoking a gold marker to compel him to respect the secret assassin society of the Continental.
After some retaliation from D'Antonio, Wick eventually accepts the job of killing his sister Gianna (Claudia Gerini) so he can take her spot at the table of an international assassins guild. In doing so, he created a chain of events leading to him becoming a loose end and a target for D'Antonio. The first film offered us a glimpse of this secret society of assassins and this film expanded on this, giving us even more, still not enough though.
Wick's assignment took him to Rome, where we saw the Italian equivalent of the Continental. In hopes of eliminating Wick, D'Antonio put out a contract on him, immediately follow by a multitude of different people receiving text messages, from a violinist, to a sumo wrestler, to garbagemen just to name a few. This gave us an idea of how big the assassin world really was and we didn't always know who they all were which was exciting and allowed a few opportunities for some dark comedy.
The best part of the first film was the action and it continued here. The same great production value, from the camera work, choreography, and special effects were still here but were done on a grander scale without sacrificing the very personal feel. It was all very exciting to watch and there was more of it this time around. It was also just as fast paced but was broken up this time by more story.
Seeing him take on various henchmen and other assassins was still very satisfying and just as violent, if not more, than the previous film. All the blood really dirtied the rather clean-looking sets. They only elevated some of the film's best action sequences featuring a New York subway terminal, Roman catacombs, and a hall of mirrors. The villain was a little underwhelming again but it didn't really matter in the grand scheme.
Reeves was just as good here as Wick. The first film explored him on more of a personal level with his actions motivated by personal tragedy but this one kind of took a step back allowing more focus on the action. He was still very compelling to watch and fun in the action sequences, giving the same level of commitment even with the increased level with a few sequences standing out. Everyone else was good but it was still just Wick and then everyone else which was okay. The first film had more of a definite ending but this one had more of an open ending, leaving the possibility for more films.
Overall, this was a great action film sequel which built on what made the first film so great by doubling down on the action and featuring another excellent performance from Keanu Reeves.
Score: 9/10

Q: Remove word from string start with specific characters I have the following string:
my_string = "This is an example string, ex , excatly , index , hyperextension"

I want to remove all words that start with ex in Python.
So the result I want would be:
remove_words_that_start_with_ex("my_string")
print(my_string)

Desired result:

This is an string, , , index , hyperextension

I tried doing something like this:
main_str = " ".join(filter(lambda x:x[0,1]!='ex', main_str.split()))

but it only works with one character, not 2 ("ex").

A: You can use python's built-in startswith method like so:
>>> my_string = "This is an example string, ex , excatly , index , hyperextension"
>>>
>>> print ' '.join(x for x in my_string.split() if not x.startswith('ex'))
This is an string, , , index , hyperextension

Now in case you just want to fix your lambda, here is a fix:
>>> print " ".join(filter(lambda x: x[0:2]!='ex', my_string.split()))
This is an string, , , index , hyperextension

A: You can use re.sub to do this
>>> import re
>>> my_string = "This is an example string, ex , excatly , index , hyperextension"
>>> re.sub('(?:\s)ex[^, ]*', '', my_string)
'This is an string, , , index , hyperextension'

A: You can use re.sub:
import re
my_string = "This is an example string, ex , excatly , index , hyperextension"
final_string = re.sub('(?<=\s)ex[\w]+|(?<=^)ex[\w]+', '', my_string)

Output:
'This is an  string, ex ,  , index , hyperextension'

Or, by providing a lambda:
final_string = re.sub('\w+', lambda x:'' if x.group().startswith('ex') else x.group(), my_string)

Output:
'This is an  string,  ,  , index , hyperextension'

And it arrived on his birthday, June 16th. Perfect.
Ask and ye shall receive. Rap fans have been waiting for a Tupac biopic for ages, and that dream is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality. Today would have been Tupac's 45th birthday, and in celebration the trailer for his highly anticipated biopic - All Eyez On Me - has been released online.
The film stars Danai Gurira (of Walking Dead fame) as Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, and newcomer Demetrius Shipp Jr as the icon himself. In the short teaser, we see glimpses of a young Tupac witnessing an FBI raid, police brutality taking place on the street, and lavish Hollywood parties full of money and excess.
"This ain't just about you," Gurira says in an impassioned voiceover. "Like all black men, you have a bullseye on your back. They are going to give you the tools that you need to destroy yourself. So above all else, to thine own self be true. Now, let me see your spirit."
For a short trailer, it packs quite a punch, so be sure to check it out below. Though a final release date for the film has yet to be set, it's expected to hit theaters this November, Vibe reports.

Q: Ошибка в простом тестовом виджете Только начинаю писать под android, решил написать простой виджет который будет выводить некоторую информацию на экран в textview, изначально для вывода задаю константу с дальнейшим расчетом заменить ее (когда все будет работать) на значение получаемое из другого метода. Пытаюсь ссылаться на элемент в виджете при помощи метода getViewByID но пишет ошибку, так же и на setContentView. Как это нужно сделать правильно?
package ru.startandroid.develop.p1171simplewidget;

import java.util.Arrays;

import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MyWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {

  final String LOG_TAG = "myLogs";

  @Override
  public void onEnabled(Context context) {
    super.onEnabled(context);
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onEnabled");
  }

  @Override
  public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
      int[] appWidgetIds) {
    super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onUpdate " + Arrays.toString(appWidgetIds));

    int s = 100500;
    ((Activity)context).setContentView(R.layout.widget);
    //TextView c = (TextView)findViewById(R.string.widget_text);
    //c.setText(Integer.toString(s));
     remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.string.widget_text, (Integer.toString(s)));
    //на remoteViews пишет - remoteViews cannot be resolved
  }

  @Override
  public void onDeleted(Context context, int[] appWidgetIds) {
    super.onDeleted(context, appWidgetIds);
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onDeleted " + Arrays.toString(appWidgetIds));
  }

  @Override
  public void onDisabled(Context context) {
    super.onDisabled(context);
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onDisabled");
  }

}

A: В данном случае наверное надо плясать от Context context что то типа:
((Activity)context).setContentView(...)

У MyWidget действительно нету таких методов :-)
A: Вам нужно работать через RemoteViews
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.yourID, "Some text");


The VectorLinux development team is proud to announce the Second beta release of VectorLinux 6.0. We have worked hard to debug the first beta release based on reported bugs, and we have also refined the look and feel with a brand new theme.The gui installer is just about there more feedback is welcome with this release.

The download links to the iso and md5sum are below.
Re: VectorLinux 6.0 beta2 has been released!
looks good so far, login screen no longer has options. looks like kdm? Still has no support and cant find my atheros 242xx wifi card.
see it using lspci but thats were it ends. like the new art work. runs fast on my acer 3680.
Installed it only on VM, just to check my installer translation.
By the way, why don't we add sbopkg - a command line utility to download and build packages from slackbuilds.org?
Hope every one had a good holiday. Like a bad penny, I keep turning up.
I'm installing 6.0B2 over my 5.9 installation. All went well UNTIL 'System Configuration/Boot Menu Options/Boot Manager Configuration'. On clicking 'Next', I get a pop-up"
Lilo returned an error. Please see below.
Clicking 'OK' then 'Next' just returns to the pop-up.
Pulled the tape and installation proceeded without hitch.
While I was importing/adding users, the screen didn't fully refresh, ie; 1/4 of the previous boxes showed slightly above the current ones. Also, it only imported one user and failed on the other 2. And it would NOT let me add a user without a password!
@StrayBit: Beta 2 was superceded by Release Candidate 1 which is much, much nicer. Also, when reporting issues/problems please use the bug reporting thread. That way the developers see it for certain.
Thanks Caitlyn. I dl'd this one as soon as it was announced, but it was a few days before I gave up trying to get 5.9 to work and installed it. I'll try again.
EDIT ADD: I've also noticed that doing any google search on VL6.0-STD-B2.iso will return a ton of links but most of the sites don't have the file anymore so it's looking like it got pulled.
Can't wait to try it out thought!


What follows is a full on discussion of LOST. If you have not yet watched the episode, I recommend you not read this post.
Jack: How is it that we've never seen it before?
Hurley: I guess we weren't looking for it.
Even though this was a Jack-so-not-my-favorite-character centric episode, I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. I mean, psychotic Claire what's not to like?
Is a daddy!!!!!! This surprised me and I very much enjoyed this storyline of Jack trying not to repeat the mistakes of his father and working towards having some sort of relationship with his son, David. The fact that he did break through and connect in the end was...perfection. Resolution. Redemption for the way he totally screwed up with Aaron. Would Jack have been happier in the alternate reality? (what do you think is up with his father's missing body? Also, the bit about him not remembering having his appendix out...what do you think that's about?) Oh and he saw Dogen! What does this mean?
Is the same old slightly psychotic Jack. He's not about to do anything that doesn't seem like his idea. So when Jacob (still love him and hope he's a good guy) shows up and tells Hurley he needs to get Jack to the lighthouse, he also tells him exactly how. Hurley has to tell Jack "he has what it takes." Suddenly, it's Jack's idea to go figure out what this means. Thank God for the comic relief Hurley provides!
So they head off to the super cool Lighthouse. They stumble upon the caves on the way where they find Shannon's inhaler (shout out to the Comic Con panel!) and the skeletons again where Hurley voices the theory that the skeletons are the LOSTies.
I am sure there is all sorts of significance to the lighthouse with the mirrors and the wheel that those of you who are smarter than me can figure out. Do the mirrors reflect alternate realities? Do they reflect what's truly inside? Are they like the Mirror of Erised and show the heart's desire? In any case, all we saw was the house where Jack grew up. And then Jack goes truly psychotic on us and smashes the mirrors. Jacob's not too concerned, his only goal was to get Jack to realize his importance.
Claire is in some ways living like Rousseau believing her baby to be with the others. But she's totally psychotic. Probably because her head has been stuffed full of lies from her friend. She ties up the Other and fixes Jin's leg. When Jin tries to tell her that Kate took Aaron, she still kills the other guy. Does this mean she's really evil? Does this mean Sayid is evil? Jacob didn't care that Sayid was still back at the temple he only wanted Hurley and Jack. What does this all mean?
Overall I really enjoyed this episode but I suspect I will enjoy them all until the end. And I'm dying with the lack of previews!
Tell me all your thoughts and remind me of all the stuff I forgot about.
