I was referred to Nicole by a friend for legal consultation for a motor vehicle accident. After speaking to Nicole on the phone I felt at ease and confident that she would work diligently to ensure I would get the full compensation I deserved. There were many bumps in the road throughout my case but Nicole made it as painless as possible and educated me throughout the entire process. Before every decision that was made in my case Nicole would call me and explain what was happening in the case and kept me updated at all times. If I had a any questions or concerns about the case Nicole would always get back to me by at least the end of the business day but usually sooner. Nicole was also courteous and professional the entire time of the settlement. At the end I felt extremely satisfied with the compensation I received and Nicole made the whole process simple and stress free. I would recommend anyone in any type of case to Nicole Longton who is a true professional.
If you want positive results, call Nicole Longton. When I needed an attorney and called Nicole, she got back to me right away. She is professional, yet very personable. I was very comfortable talking with Nicole and she told me exactly what was going to happen. She's also very responsive - always taking my calls or emails and explaining any questions. I hope I never need an attorney again, but I would be calling Nicole if I had to!


Mechanism of hypokalemia in Liddle's syndrome. The amiloride-sensitive sodium channel on the apical membrane of the distal tubule consists of homologous a, |3, and 7 subunits. Each subunit is composed of two transmembrane-spanning domains, an extracellular loop, and intracellular amino and carboxyl terminals. Truncation mutations of either the |3 or 7 subunit carboxyl terminal result in greatly increased sodium conductance, which creates a favorable electrochemical gradient for potassium secretion. Although patients with Liddle's syndrome are not universally hypokalemic, they may exhibit severe potassium wasting with thiazide diuretics. The hypokalemia, hypertension, and metabolic alkalosis that typify Liddle's syndrome can be corrected with amiloride or triamterene or restriction of sodium.


SORSOGON CITY – After the storm that hit the Bicol region comes the backlash.
Sorsogon provincial officials accuses the Albay leadership of allegedly seeming and deliberate exaggeration and padding on estimated disaster report on the value of devastation wrought by Typhoon Glenda.
Of the six Bicol provinces, Albay claimed to have suffered P4.274 billion in damages in agriculture, housing and other sectors, as released by the office of the governor.
The same Sorsogon officials claim that the province's agriculture sector was worst hit by the typhoon, adding that even its namesake and capital city sustained P350 million damages per initial disaster reports.
Unfortunately, the report did not disclose the complaining officials but just the same, went on to chide Albay governor Joey Salceda for bloating disaster reports just to get the lion share of calamaity fund and possible international aid.
It has been a practice to bloat reports for the purpose of getting bigger disaster rehabilitation programs which is strongly influenced by politics. The trick works toward getting bigger allocation in the calamity appropriation.

Get blown away as the update of damage by Typhoon Glenda in Albay alone as of this posting is now P7.6 billion. That is the official statement, but not yet the final amount as it will go up in the days to come as reports get collated. Hu hummm.

There is an epidemic in our society. Our lack of exercise, poor diet, and sedentary working habits have made us stressed out and physically unfit. The rate of obese people has skyrocketed in recent years, much of it due to a diet consisting of high fats and added sugars., Add to this the fact that many people are sitting to work and the bigger picture is that millions of people around the country are suffering from a range of weight-related health problems that could be prevented.
What Are the Problems with Obesity and Being Unfit?
In fact, all of these extra health problems place such pressure on our hospitals and other health professionals that the entire system is finding it very difficult to cope. Clearly, something has to be done and we cannot rely on laws being passed that place taxes on sugars, junk foods, and soft drinks. The change has to come from within ourselves. The good news is that a qualified personal trainer in Notting Hill can help just about anyone to reach his or her health and fitness goals more easily.
Why Hire a Personal Trainer to Get Fit?
Lots of people make a commitment to themselves every New Year to join a gym and get fit. The big problems with this is that very few people actually have the will and the dedication to make this happen. Indeed, most people who do this simply end up wasting their money as their motivation to lose weight and get fit dwindles in the face of just how tough it is.
Motivation: Keeping up motivation is tough when you realise how hard it is to modify diet and do more exercise. The brain is naturally lazy and will find any way to keep you from doing these things. A personal trainer can help to break through these personally imposed barriers and limitations and keep up your flagging levels of motivation.
Tailored Training: Every person is different and there is no "one size fits all" training program that will work equally on all people. Personal trainers can customise a training program to meet your personal needs both physically and mentally. Their expertise can guide you through customised training programs so that you start off slowly and work your way up to tougher exercise routines.
There are so many reasons to lose weight and get fit. We all know it but few of us ever have the personal motivation to break through our self-imposed barriers. This is where a qualified personal trainer can really help.

Q: Confused with symlinks - link created within a desired directory during installation of the program, following window popped up:

I continued with the installation and now I want to make symlink.
The reason for this is that there is plenty of free space in /galy/home/biomonika/SMRTDATA, but not that much in userdata.
After ls I see folder userdata. Now I am typing:
ln -s /galy/home/biomonika/SMRTDATA userdata

When I take a look with ls -lah, there are no arrows.
However, when I go inside userdata, I see this:
SMRTDATA -> /galaxy/home/biomonika/SMRTDATA

This is not correct, is it? I want arrow from userdata -> /galy/home/biomonika/SMRTDATA if I understand this correctly.

A: Remove the directory first.  Otherwise, ln will place the link in that directory -- as you just saw.
(i.e. mv userdata userdata.local then make your symlink)

Father, Accused of Killing His Two Children, Found Dead
By Associated Press	• Published May 13, 2019 • Updated on May 14, 2019 at 5:29 pm
Investigators now say the bodies found in a burning car on a remote North Texas road were the children of a man later found dead nearby.
Cooke County Sheriff Terry Gilbert said Tuesday that the bodies found in the back seat of a burning car Sunday night were those of 4-year-old Aijit Singh Birring and his 3-year-old sister, Mehar Kaur Birring. Their father, 37-year-old Mandeep Singh of Fort Worth, was found nearby around 12:30 p.m. Monday. Gilbert said Tuesday that Singh died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The car was found burning on a county road near the Red River north of Muenster, 18 miles northwest of Gainesville. Singh was sought on a capital murder warrant in the deaths of the two when his body was found.
The Cooke County Sheriff's Office said it believed the case was a murder-suicide, but was awaiting an autopsy on all three bodies.

As a result, markets are boring with the common things. Market furniture needs something unique with creative ideas, therefore we believe we will have a feedback from the market.


Join me on my 10 day retreat to a Himalayan village in February 2018. Relax and surround yourself with the ancient wisdom of the local Buddhist monks and experience the Tibetan New Year.
Crystal Blue Waters, Mountain Mama!
Indian Festival Of Colour... Watch Out!
My God-Daughters Now Training To Be Nurses!
And Hang Out With All Her Animals!
Your life will never be the same again. This trip of a lifetime is offered exclusively to my clients. Once a year we travel out to India and spend 10 incredible days together in a little village nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. Set up in a comfortable nearby hotel, we visit the village every day, spending time doing activities with its Tibetan Buddhist people. I first went there to teach when I was only 18 years old and I consider these people my second family. They took care of me like I was their own. Seventeen years and almost as many trips later I've built up such powerful relationships that I like to share them with my clients. This transformative experience will change your perspective on life forever.
You'll be met by Phil at Delhi International Airport and transported by minibus to your hotel. Take in Delhi's sights, including the Red Fort and India Gate.
That evening we'll travel up to Dehra Dun, a city nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas.
The hotel where we're staying is newly built, with en-suite bathrooms, a restaurant and a bar. It's also just a 10 minute drive from the village.
We'll take a taxi to the village to meet the locals, before getting to know the area with a guided tour of the community.
Later, we'll picnic with the villagers at the local swimming pool, followed by a visit to the local orphanage.
We will also have an opportunity to visit a local Indian family and learn how to wash clothes on a stone, Indian-style, with a bar of soap.
On day three, we'll visit a Tibetan Bell workshop, to meet the workers and see the entire process. Take away your very own hand-made bell.
Next up is a visit to the local village school to meet Tibetan, Nepali, Indian and Bhutanese children.
There's also a possibility of attending an Indian wedding party in the evening.
The ancient Tibetan New Year Festival of Losar begins today, with a evening party to follow.
You'll be invited to get involved with all the rituals and ceremonies of the day.
Make your own Tibetan Style lunch, with lessons from a local chef. Help prepare food for the entire community.
Enjoy the second day of Losar, with an opportunity to learn mantras from real Buddhist monks.
Learn how to sing and dance Tibetan, Nepali and Indian style. Become an instant local hero and share a song or dance from your part of the world.
This is followed by a big party in the evening with drinks and food.
We'll experience the last day of Losar with the Tibetan people. Get involved and make friends for a lifetime.
You can also participate in the ancient Buddhist ceremony of Scripture Blessing.
Then we'll join the community in dancing around the fire, throwing food into it for the gods and shouting Lah-Solo.
We'll visit the holy Ganges towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh, where the Beatles went in search of deeper meaning.
Then there's an opportunity for rafting and swimming in the crystal blue source waters of the Ganges.
We'll visit a rural mountain village surrounded by reserve forests.
Then we'll drop by the houses of my local Indian friends and see how real India lives, cooks and dances.
There will also be a chance for a walk and a picnic with the Indian locals. Spend the evening trying out the local wine, Arak.
We'll visit the local city of Dehra Dun and go shopping in the traditional markets. Learn how to speak basic Hindi and have a go at bartering Indian-style.
Near the city are the infamous Robber's Caves where you can swim and go under a waterfall.
We'll finish the day with a trip to the cinema to see a Bollywood Movie. The atmosphere is electric!
On our last day, we'll say an emotional goodbye to all the friends we've made in the Tibetan village.
After packing our things, we'll experience the Indian railway system as we make our way back to Delhi.
If you like, we can also arrange onward trips to see the Taj Mahal or any other sights in India.

Will closing a tab stop my timer?
Nope! You can even close your browser and come back later, your timer will still be running.
Closing tabs won't stop your timer either - making it easier for you to focus and come back later. We'll remember exactly how long you've been working for.

Q: completing a sparse timeline I have some sparse measurements of process status over time, looking like this:
               tag
2022-01-15
2022-01-08  #Step3
2022-01-06  #Step2
2021-12-31
2021-12-28  #Step1

... and I would like to transform them into a complete series that I can use to plot a timeline, looking like this:
               tag
2021-12-28  #Step1
2021-12-29  #Step1
2021-12-30  #Step1
2021-12-31  #Step1
2022-01-01  #Step1
2022-01-02  #Step1
2022-01-03  #Step1
2022-01-04  #Step1
2022-01-05  #Step1
2022-01-06  #Step2
2022-01-07  #Step2
2022-01-08  #Step3

2022-01-13  #Step3
2022-01-14  #Step3
2022-01-15  #Step3

The code below works, but it looks pretty ugly  and I was wondering if there is a more elegant/efficient way to achieve this.
Also, I get a SettingWithCopyWarning which I should be able to fix.
Thanks!!
#! /usr/bin/env python3

import pandas as pd

MY_SAMPLINGS = [
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-15', 'tag': ''},
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-08', 'tag': '#Step3'},
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-06', 'tag': '#Step2'},
    {'timestamp': '2021-12-31', 'tag': ''},
    {'timestamp': '2021-12-28', 'tag': '#Step1'}
    ]

myDates = [d['timestamp'] for d in MY_SAMPLINGS]
dates = pd.date_range(myDates[-1],myDates[0])
df = pd.DataFrame(index=dates, columns=['tag'])

for x in range((len(MY_SAMPLINGS)-1),0,-1):
    startTime = MY_SAMPLINGS[x]['timestamp']
    endTime = MY_SAMPLINGS [x-1]['timestamp']
    if (MY_SAMPLINGS[x]['tag']):
        myTag = MY_SAMPLINGS[x]['tag']
    else:
        myTag = MY_SAMPLINGS[x+1]['tag']
    df.loc[startTime:endTime]['tag'] = myTag

print (df)

A: Alright, I'll break everything down in small steps but it's just a few lines of code and is much more scalable than a loop.
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(MY_SAMPLINGS)

We first want to have the timestamps as an ordered time index.
df["timestamp"] = pd.to_datetime(df["timestamp"], format="%Y-%m-%d")
df = df.set_index("timestamp").sort_index()

Which gives :
               tag
timestamp
2021-12-28  #Step1
2021-12-31
2022-01-06  #Step2
2022-01-08  #Step3
2022-01-15

Then, resample on a daily basis and fill forward, meaning that any missing values generated by the resampling will take the value of the previous non-missing value.
df = df.resample("1D").ffill()

Which gives:
               tag
timestamp
2021-12-28  #Step1
2021-12-29  #Step1
2021-12-30  #Step1
2021-12-31
2022-01-01
2022-01-02
2022-01-03
2022-01-04
2022-01-05
2022-01-06  #Step2
2022-01-07  #Step2
2022-01-08  #Step3
2022-01-09  #Step3
2022-01-10  #Step3
2022-01-11  #Step3
2022-01-12  #Step3
2022-01-13  #Step3
2022-01-14  #Step3
2022-01-15

Now, we still have all those empty strings, let's just consider them as empty and forward fill again.
df = df.replace('', pd.NA).ffill()

Now we're done :
               tag
timestamp
2021-12-28  #Step1
2021-12-29  #Step1
2021-12-30  #Step1
2021-12-31  #Step1
2022-01-01  #Step1
2022-01-02  #Step1
2022-01-03  #Step1
2022-01-04  #Step1
2022-01-05  #Step1
2022-01-06  #Step2
2022-01-07  #Step2
2022-01-08  #Step3
2022-01-09  #Step3
2022-01-10  #Step3
2022-01-11  #Step3
2022-01-12  #Step3
2022-01-13  #Step3
2022-01-14  #Step3
2022-01-15  #Step3

A: You could try to use resample here. Note that I have replace an empty string with Nones so that I can use fillna with ffill method later on.
MY_SAMPLINGS = [
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-15', 'tag': None},
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-08', 'tag': '#Step3'},
    {'timestamp': '2022-01-06', 'tag': '#Step2'},
    {'timestamp': '2021-12-31', 'tag': None},
    {'timestamp': '2021-12-28', 'tag': '#Step1'}
    ]
df = pd.DataFrame(MY_SAMPLINGS).assign(timestamp=lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x["timestamp"])).set_index("timestamp")
result = df.resample('1D').pad().fillna(method="ffill")

Born into an artistically creative family, music has always been a large part of Maia's life. Maia began singing at the age of three. By the age of ten she was already dazzling students and teachers alike at public performances. As a teenager, Maia went on the road with Broadway companies, and at fifteen she joined a band where she met Alan Pugielli, a lyric writer, who would later become her husband and co-writer of some of her material.In her earlier years Maia was drawn to performers such as Billy Holiday, Chaka Kahn, and Patti LaBelle, although Maia has carved her own niche and has developed a style uniquely her own. Presently Maia admires the talents of Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, and Whitney Houston.
In 1992 Maia debuted with Maia Amada - The Album on Word/Epic, which had Contemporary Christian as well as mainstream success. Produced by the multi-talented Shane Keister, this first album illustrated Maia's remarkable talent. The outcome was four chart singles including "Love Never Fails" and "What's A Heart To Do." The single, "Love Is For Always" reached #1 on the Christian charts and remained so for five weeks.
Maia then supported her album with extensive festival touring of the United States. Maia's next project Faith Remains, on Intersound/Benson gained Contemporary Christian success with the first single "Second Chances" which hit #3 on the AC charts. This accomplishment was due to the collaboration of Maia and Shane, along with her husband Alan Pugielli as principal lyricist and music by Cheryl Rogers. Her follow up single "Love's The Key", written by Terry Silverlight and Alan Pugielli, entered the charts at #3. Edoya Records in Japan picked up this album for distribution.
Most recently, Maia's released a full length album entitled Out Of The Ashes. This album was produced by Shane Keister and Terry Silverlight, with some mixes by Tom Yezzi and Butch Jones. It is a project that is of extreme importance to her, as the material conveys an urgent message of the need for unity within the body of Christ. Maia believes that "God is looking for His children to be humble and with one heart, who are truly seeking Him so he can pour out His spirit upon them." The title track, "Out Of The Ashes" depicts the image of one moving out of suffering into joy through God's healing and restoration.
And finally, just in time for Christmas...Scarlet Ribbons. Truly a dream come true for Maia, this collection of Christmas favorites in combination with Maia's soulful voice, will warm even the coldest December night!
Maia feels that her records and performances should evoke a positive message of hope and renewed love. "I share my experiences through my songs and hopefully give examples of how struggle can build endurance and strong character."

Q: Line spacing not working How can I get each player name with its average score on a separate lines, my code is:
print(sorted(player_averages.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])

I have tried \n but doesn't work, are there any other creative ways in which this can be achieved?

A: Just use a loop to print your players:
for name, average in sorted(player_averages.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]):
    print(name, average)

To do it on one line, you'll need to use a generator expression formatting each name-average pair:
print(*('{}: {}'.format(name, average)
        for name, average in sorted(player_averages.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]),
      sep='\n')
