Fundación A.M. Qattan
La nueva sede de la Fundación A.M. Qattan en Ramallah
El nuevo edificio de la Fundación A.M. Qattan, situado en el barrio de al-Tira en Ramallah, a unos cien metros de la plaza Nelson Mandela, es un ejemplo del compromiso de la Fundación con la innovación y la excelencia en contenido y forma. Diseñado por estudio sevillano Donaire Arquitectos, el edificio se caracteriza por la presencia de un cubo de elegantes celosías que emiten luz por la noche y que actúan como metáfora de un faro, reforzando así las aspiraciones de la Fundación de que su nueva sede se convierta en un faro de conocimiento y ciencia, un remanso para el intercambio cultural y una fuente de creatividad.
Además de las oficinas administrativas, el edificio de la Fundación albergará espacios e instalaciones públicas de última generación para la realización de sus eventos y actividades y para uso de las organizaciones, grupos o particulares que los necesiten. Es el primer edificio de Palestina registrado en el Consejo Palestino Superior de Edificios Ecológicos.
Esutdio de arquitectura: Donaire Arquitectos – Sevilla, España
Afiliados: Obras civiles y estructurales: Sakakini & Partners. Trabajos eléctricos: Shahd Engineering. Obras mecánicas: Elite Engineering
Gestor: Projacs International
Contratista: Ab'aad Contracting Company
Superficie total construida: 7,730 m2
Biblioteca Leila Mikdadi Al-Qattan
Our library, which occupies two floors, offers a significant collection of books, periodicals, film and databases specialising in the Foundation's areas of work. The Library is the perfect place for individual reading and work as well as group work. There are two group workrooms available for reservation and one room for children's activities, along with work desks and a lounge-like seating area.
This 270m2 hall can seat 200 guests and can also be divided into three equal spaces. The hall is fitted with soundproof partitions, blinds and audio-visual equipment to suit workshops, lectures, conferences, seminars and meetings. It also has direct access to an outdoor terrace, garden and lobby that can all be used during functions.
A 410m2 exhibition space designed with the highest technical standards and programmed to host different types of art exhibitions. The exhibition space is flexible and can accommodate several smaller exhibitions. It is equipped to cater to different exhibition needs in terms of environment, lighting, partitioning, etc.
An intimate, well-designed space with retractable seating, a drop-down screen and control room. This space caters to around 120 people and can be used to host talks, music, theatre, and cinema shows or as a training and rehearsal studio for dance and theatre companies.
There are three well-equipped studios in the building, geared towards a practice in culture and education, such as performing and visual arts as well as educational resources development. These are to be used by the Foundation's programmes as well as by other individuals, collectives and organisations. These are:
Studio 1 –73m2 in F (-2)
Studio 2 – 73m2 in F (-2)
Studio 3 - 45m2 in F (1)
Aulas experimentales
A classroom that is open for experimentation, exploration and innovation in modern educational practices. Equipped with the needed tools and equipment, this space offers researchers, artists, and educators the place to work with teachers and schoolchildren to create and test their own experiences.
The Foundation has incorporated a two-room residence space in its new building. Each room has its own bathroom and can host one or two individuals; the two rooms share a common living space and kitchen. With an independent entrance, the residence opens to a garden. The space is scheduled to host local and international guests through seasonal residency calls.
Situated on the main terrace of the building with a wonderful view of the surrounding hills, the Restaurant is a mash-up of social, cultural and gastronomic experiences for our audiences and visitors to enjoy.
The premises offer several gardens and terraces that intertwine with the main structure, providing harmony with the surrounding landscape and offering additional activity spaces. There are three terraces all facing south and overlooking a lush valley of olive tree orchards, that can host outdoors activities and shows. These start with the main terrace in the Ground Floor downwards as follows:
Terrace 1: Ground Floor 450 m2
Terrace 2: 240 m2 in F (-1)
The gardens are divided into two zones: the courtyards and the external landscape terraces.
The sources of inspiration in the design of the courtyard spaces are the Palestinian urban gardens of the early 20th century. Palestine has a rich urban history to draw upon in domestic architecture, urban gardens and urban dwellings. The courtyard gardens celebrate the tradition of garden building for leisure and enjoyment and reference a specific aesthetic sensibility developed in Palestinian dwellings, particularly in the early 20th century.
The gardens are characterised by the use of productive and ornamental plants in addition to aromatic varieties of vegetation, that resonate with the cultural and artistic psyche of the people of Palestine and the region such as jasmine (yasmin), Arabian jasmine (fil) and roses (ward). Furthermore, the much-loved vine trellis in our old building in Ramallah, was replicated in our entrance courtyard to continue the tradition of conversation and ideation under the vines.
The landscape recalls the traditional agricultural terraces and olive orchards of Palestine. A collection of olives, native trees and aromatic plants populate the terraces and slopes; some of trees that were removed from the site during construction have been replanted around the building.

Digital, ethical, sustainable
About us and what we stand for
In the following, we would like to tell you a little about us and our motivation, give you some insights into the "why" of our product wunderbon, but above all reveal more about the values of our company – our DNA. Our understanding of digital ethics and how we help meet basic digital needs with our platform.
When many people come together to make something big happen, it is important that this is always done with our core values in mind. The well-being of the community is at the top of the list. We place the highest value on respectful interaction and a healthy and open culture of discussion (the former is very helpful here). So that every potential new member of our community can get an idea of this in advance and thus determine for themselves whether they fit in, we have published our understanding of values as a manifesto here for all to see.
Which brings us to our favorite topic, transparency. Indeed, part of our corporate philosophy concerns how we deal with transparency. This brings with it questions such as, "What are the limits of transparency?", or "What value does this transparency add to our customers?" and to be sure, many more. There are certainly limits when the issue of transparency comes up against trade secrets and competitive advantages, for example. But these are also more issues that affect the relationship between us and our business customers, or just us exclusively.
We stand for the highest level of privacy protection through end-to-end encryption, which we understand as Beyond Privacy, giving our users control over their own data. However, to ensure that this does not just remain an untested promise, we are in the process of making this transparent through certificates, audits and the disclosure of security-relevant information and thus "proving" it to the outside world. This enables our users to see for themselves how we handle them and their data. We actively involve our users in this process.
Ignorance sometimes fuels fears – especially with regard to one's own data and ignorance about what data is collected and how it is processed. We do our best every day to ensure that users feel safe with us and know that they are always in control and can, for example, object to the use of their data at any time with a simple click or touch. What is nowadays often still a process chain of various means of communication thus becomes a simple click or touch.
Our partners have committed themselves not only to accepting this privacy policy, but also to representing it in exactly the same way. Who doesn't know it, you have just unsubscribed from the newsletter and actively brought about the so-called opt-out and weeks later emails, or SMS, or letters are still coming from the depths of a company. But it can be so simple today. With wunderbon, this becomes the new normal. Merchants who value their customers and care about the security of their data offer their data services through wunderbon. You are a dealer and would like to request more information? Then get in touch with us now.
In order to meet our high standards, we have made arrangements as far as our infrastructure, which will enable our users to always be informed about all transactions* on our platform and to be able to download these transactions as transaction history 24/7. This goes far beyond the requirements of the GDPR regarding the obligation to provide information. We want to enable our users at all times not only to have control over the exchange of data, but also to see who is using the permission and how, and which data is being accessed. This may sound a bit abstract, so the following example may better illustrate how this affects our users:

Digitata kelp supplies iodine to the thyroid, and it helps to protect the thyroid against radioactive iodine. Be sure to get good quality seaweed from clean oceans, since it is a natural chelator. Kelp also has high alginate content which can aid the body in detoxing heavy metals.
Cut digitata strands with scissors. Soak for 15 minutes. Wash gobo in warm water and peel. Cut into ½" slices (circles) and add to the digitata to soak. This will ease some of its woody taste. Mince garlic and let it sit for 5-20 minutes before sautéing. Chop cong bai into ½" pieces; carrots into cubes. Slice ginger into thin strips.
Sautee all in olive & sesame oil until everything softens up a bit, 5-10 minutes. Add wild rice and stir so all is mixed together. Add the soaked gobo and digitata (including the soaking water)! Add enough water to cover to 1-2" above ingredients. Bring to boil, lower heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid has expanded the rice, 20-30 minutes. Add sea salt and fresh pepper to taste. Bon appetit!
By the way, if you would rather have soup, do not add rice but instead add a can of coconut milk and two more cans of water. Heat over a slow flame and enjoy with a dash of hot cayenne powder.

Trip to Muqhshin and a marriage proposal in the desert of #oman
few hundred meters from road 31, the backbone of the road network in Oman, is Muqshin, a small, fully equipped center with schools and a hospital (but there is no police station - if this is a fault) where new, harmonious villas are taking the place of the old houses built by the government in the 1970s for the Bedouin tribes who had to settle down to take part in the
country 's Renaissance.
A few Bedouin tents remain set up near the buildings.
The journey began when Said, our guide among the known places and the vastnesses of the
desert, left his car, a white Toyota Corolla with a cawing engine, in front of his sister's house.
With our new, sturdy and flamboyant red Hummer, we entered the desert. We arrived at a small temporary camp for camels. Now picture this: There are some guys from Said 's family, a carpet, hot Arabic coffee and about ten racing camels. Each camel has its own pole and each one wears a wraparound mesh on its muzzle and head. On the rump they have a shaped and decorated blanket. After greetings and coffee, the camel keeper picks them up and takes them for a walk in the desert, but first of all, he performs some demonstrative stunts on the back of his animal.
At sunset we are in the desert. Said shows us the field of about ten Bedouin tents between the low dunes of these fluctuating margins of the great void.
We arrive at the camp. It is almost dark. Three or four other vehicles, a pickup and a yellow
off-road vehicle also arrive, almost at the same time. Said, and some other Bedouin from his tribe, whom we had already met at the isba of the camels, begin to make fire in a rectangular metal box, which is located next to a large tent and in the center of a majlis formed by metal sofas with cushions.
There are about ten people moving around the camp. Four or five around the fire with us begin to make tea (two different types: one, the classic suleiman - black tea (sachet) and sugar (a lot) and the kushari - prepared by heating the sugar in the kettle, adding milk and powdered tea directly into the boiling milk (no water). Note that sugar and tea are measured with the lid of the kettle.
An unknown number of other people wander around the kitchen tent. A goat (which I had already noticed with anxiety in one of the pickups that arrived) was tied up nearby. Said tells us that they are preparing a Bedouin evening with goat. They are going to slaughter her.
Finally, the kid ends up in the oven and everyone gathers around the fire. A dozen or so Omanis between the ages of 20 and 40 whose names I can't remember, also because they are called with the name of their son - abu Ali, father of Ali and so on, and it 's difficult to memorize everything. They are composed, perfectly at ease and elegant as only they know how to be.
At Said 's suggestion, we begin to play a game, a "scenario" as he says.
Three of them move away and are swallowed up by the shadow cone produced by the tent. Said explains that they are the pretender to the hand of Alice, his brother and his uncle. The four of us participate in the roles of:
Alice, the bride;
Me, the bride 's mother;
Said, brother of the bride;
Musallam (the owner of the racing camels), the uncle of the bride, my brother.
Ali, the suitor and his companions return to the scene. They greet each other as if they were visiting characters and sit by the fire. Their uncle takes the floor and explains the reason for their visit: to ask for Alice 's hand. As a first condition for opening negotiations, the uncle asks, in the name of the young girl 's age, that the family of the suitor join the tribe of Alice. This condition is accepted and negotiations are opened.
The uncle tells me to ask, as the mother of the bride and first in the requests, what I want in return. I ask to hear her laugh and sing every day. I also ask 20 ostriches and 1000 bees. The young suitor carries his right fist on his heart, he accepts. Now it 's up to the uncle. The uncle asks for 100 jambiya (traditional curved knife), 100 rifles, 100 goats, 100 camels and 100 francs (old Omani currency). The young man carries his fist on his heart and accepts.
Alice wants 5 kilos of gold. The young man accepts.
It 's Alice 's turn: does she accept Alice to marry the boy? Yes.
Now the suitor has become the promised groom and part of the family, so he has the titles to ask for help. He removes the turban and throws it between us asking to give him a discount of half. Throwing the turban is a sign of submission that is made asking for help. Whoever picks up the turban promises help. Uncle picks up the turban, he agrees. The uncle picks up the turban, consenting to the discount, with the knowledge that any kind of good would still be managed by his tribe and that Alice is promised in marriage to a young man who has agreed with the heart to all the requests and who has promised to make her laugh and sing every day.
Nice epilogue of the game. It 's a great experience to relive a marriage negotiation as it was used two or three centuries ago. The setting is perfect: around us sands, tents and fire in the center.
The goat is ready and we move into the tent where a large baking sheet is brought with a bed of rice "kabuli" under the kid, with onions, carrots, potatoes and peppers. All cooked to perfection and all whole. the whole "family" sits around the meal and we are feed by offering us the best mouthfuls from the common dish. Everyone eats, we have another chat and another round of tea and then the company dissolves. We go to sleep in a beautiful tent covered with velvet and red damask.
After a beautiful night of sleep in the absolute silence of the desert in the morning we go to see the nearby oasis, beautiful with its African landscape, the camels grazing and migratory birds that descend for a stop between the source and the shadow of the acacias.

Q: Moving Parallel Python code to the cloud Upon hearing that the scientific computing project (happens to be the stochastic tractography method described here) I'm currently running for an investigator would take 4 months on our 50 node cluster, the investigator has asked me to examine other options.  The project is currently using parallel python to farm out chunks of a 4d array to different cluster nodes, and put the processed chunks back together.
The jobs I'm currently working with are probably much too coarsely grained, (5 seconds to 10 minutes, I had to increase the timeout default in parallel python) and I estimate I could speed up the process by 2-4 times by rewriting it to make better use of resources (splitting up and putting back together the data is taking too long, that should be parallelized as well).  Most of the work in done by numpy arrays.
Let's assume that 2-4 times isn't enough, and I decide to get the code off of our local hardware.  For high throughput computing like this, what are my commercial options and how will I need to modify the code?

A: You might be interested in PiCloud. I have never used it, but their offer apparently includes the Enthought Python Distribution, which covers the standard scientific libraries.
It's tough to say if this will work for your specific case, but the Parallel Python interface is pretty generic. So hopefully not too many changes would be needed. Maybe you can even write a custom scheduler class (implementing the same interface as PP). Actually that might be useful for many people, so maybe you can drum up some support in the PP forum.

A: The most obvious commercial options which come to mind are Amazon EC2 and the Rackspace Cloud.  I have played with both and found the Rackspace API a little easier to use.
The good news is that you can prototype and play with their compute instances (short- or long-lived virtual machines of the OS of your choice) for very little investment, typically $US 0.10 / hr or so.  You create them on demand and then release them back to the cloud when you are done, and only pay for what you use.  For example, I saw a demo on Django deployment using 6 Rackspace instances which took perhaps an hour and cost the speakers less than a dollar.
For your use case (not clear exactly what you meant by 'high throughput'), you will have to look at your budget and your computing needs, as well as your total network throughput (you pay for that, too).  A few small-scale tests and a simple spreadsheet calculation should tell you if it's really practical or not.
There are Python APIs for both Rackspace Cloud and Amazon EC2.  Whichever you use, I recommend python-based Fabric for automated deployment and configuration of your instances.

Finding a Ukrainian life partner that fits your demands is difficult. People spend years and years in hunt of a perfect life partner. However, do not lose hope if you are single from a long time and you seem not to find your perfect life partner. Keep in mind that everything has a right time and it happens on that time only! Do not rely only on the online dating sites but if you don't live in Ukraine then online dating website would be your first choice. Otherwise you may go out yourself and find the perfect person for you!
Staying at home all the time will not find you the right person. You need to go out and socialize as much as you can. Go out in parties and make new friends. Engage in random chats with strangers and get to know them as much as you can. Make new friends and talk to them a lot. Go to the club and dance with the pretty ladies that you find there. You can also ask your friends if they know anybody that resembles someone that you might find perfect for yourself. Acquaintances can help a lot in helping you find the right person for you!
Social media acts as a cupid many times. In order to find your love through social media, you first have to make your profile look sensible as well as attractive enough for the opposite gender. Put up some good pictures and remember to take off that privacy on your friend request option. Search out people that you find attractive and initiate a friendly chat with them.
When you find a person as a good option to be a part of your life, invite her on a date. Remember to act as a gentleman and pull out the chair and open the door for her. Pay the bill to put a good impression on the lady. Find a dating spot that is a bit social and avoid intimate places.
Make sensible choices before dating a person. Make sure your beliefs and ideas of living a life must resemble to the beliefs of your beloved lady in order to avoid future issues. If you have broken up with someone, do not get back to her at all once you have found your Ukrainian life partner. That is not a good decision at all. Do not make unexpected expectations with people and stay realistic.
Until you find your perfect Ukrainian life partner, stay happy with yourself. Realize what is important for you and take adventures that make you happy.

New Hong Kong Chief Justice Andrew Cheung vows to defend judicial independence, criticises attacks on judges
written by admin January 11, 2021
Andrew Cheung was sworn in as Hong Kong's chief justice on Monday, replacing Geoffrey Ma following his retirement last Friday.
In his inaugural speech to open the legal year, Cheung vowed to review the courts complaints mechanisms to "enhance transparency and accountability" as he criticised attacks on the judiciary. He spoke of the importance of impartial, independent and open courts to ensure "public and business confidence" in the system.

"The Judiciary must be and must remain an independent and impartial judiciary… An independent judiciary is essential to the rule of law in Hong Kong and the due administration of justice," Cheung said at the opening of the legal year.
The new chief justice also said the judiciary will "continue to strengthen our exchanges with the judiciaries and judges in other common law jurisdictions as well as our counterparts on the Mainland."
"Comments and criticisms, sometimes extreme and harsh ones, are unavoidable. Whilst the freedom of speech of everyone in society must be fully respected, there must not be any attempt to exert improper pressure on the judges in the discharge of their judicial functions… [I]t has to be stressed that attempts to exert undue pressure on our judges by means such as threats of violence or doxxing are as futile as they are reprehensible."
Since the city-wide pro-democracy protests and unrest in 2019, judges have faced threats and criticism over their judgements. Last year, state-backed media outlets Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po published editorials lambasting judges deemed to have ruled in favour of protesters while security law judge Victor So has reportedly received death threats.

"Whilst the freedom of speech of everyone in society must be fully respected, there must not be any attempt to exert improper pressure on the judges in the discharge of their judicial functions," he said. "It has to be stressed that attempts to exert undue pressure on our judges by means such as threats of violence or doxxing are as futile as they are reprehensible."
At his swearing in ceremony earlier on Monday, Cheung took his oath to uphold the Basic Law and bear allegiance to the Hong Kong government.
Cheung had been formally appointed as Ma's successor in June. At the time, Chief Executive Carrie Lam praised Cheung's "exceptional qualities, distinguished leadership and vision," as well as his reputation within the judiciary.
During his last press conference as Chief Justice last Wednesday, Ma said he had "every confidence" in Cheung's ability to serve as head of the city's judiciary. "I hope that everyone in the community will support the Chief Justice. My only advice to him is always to be guided by your principles, for it is these principles that will see you and the community through all seasons," the former chief justice said.
Before his appointment on Monday, Cheung had been serving as a permanent judge on the bench of Hong Kong's highest court since October 2018.
First local law school graduate
Cheung becomes the head of the judiciary amid growing fears of increased political pressure on the city's judiciary after Beijing passed the broad-ranging national security law last June. He takes the reins months after the city's leader declared that Hong Kong had "no separation of powers."
Last month, Cheung served as one of the three designated national security judges who granted leave to appeal Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai 's bail after he was charged with colluding with foreign forces under the security law. The court remanded Lai in custody pending a hearing set for February.

Before joining the city's highest court as a permanent judge, Cheung had served as chief judge of the high court for seven years. Prior to becoming a district judge in 2001, Cheung worked as a barrister in private practice for 15 years.
In 2016, he upheld a lower court's decision confirming the disqualifications of elected pro-democracy lawmakers Sixtus "Baggio" Leung and Yau Wai-ching. The pair had refused to solemnly take their oaths as Legislative Council members.
In his decision, the now-Chief Justice ruled that Hong Kong courts had no jurisdiction to decide whether an interpretation by Beijing of the city's governing law was valid, as the mainland civil law system operated separately from Hong Kong's common law system.
"The view of a common law lawyer, untrained in the civil law system, particularly the civil law system practised on the Mainland, is, with respect, simply quite irrelevant," Cheung wrote in his judgement. Article 158 of the Basic Law grants Beijing the ultimate power of legal interpretation.
Serving as Hong Kong's third Chief Justice since the handover, the 59-year-old becomes the first Chief Justice to have graduated from a local law school, having completed his undergraduate and qualifying law studies at the University of Hong Kong. He also holds a Masters of Laws from Harvard University.
Cheung is a Christian and is married with three children.

Impeachment Briefing: 'Incitement of Insurrection'


-SG- While attention tends to focus on OHV models, it should not be forgotten that several thousands of SV Nortons were produced before 1940. And of these, a fair number were Big Fours, serving many a family as reliable transport with side-car attached. During the early twenties the Big Four was fitted with the Mills carburetter - patented in 1919. This in due course became the Villiers carb. which many of us of a certain age came to know from our earlier days of motorcycling on Villiers engined lightweights. I have to say I don't think I have ever seen an early twenties Big Four fitted with a Mills but I guess there must be some out there somewhere!
I am indebted to Richard Rosenthal - a regular contributor to Classic Motor Cycle - who has kindly provided me with a copy of the appropriate Mills booklet, now available via this link in case it's of interest. Peter Thompson (Thompson's Motorcycle Museum in New Zealand) happens to have an actual Mills carburetter - more or less all there - and has sent the photo above. Whether it's ex -Norton, he doesn't know and nor do I, but it fits a 1" OD stub!

Marcus Ball will continue to fight Boris Johnson over NHS bus
ByPaul Francis
pfrancis@thekmgroup.co.uk
A former Kent university student has vowed to continue his legal fight to hold to account Boris Johnson over his claim the NHS could get £350m extra a week after Brexit.
Marcus Ball had accused the Prime Minister of "abusing public trust" by claiming the NHS could get £350m extra a week if it left the EU.
The claim proved a notorious flashpoint during the referendum campaign in 2016 and was hotly disputed by the 'remain' campaign groups.
The infamous bus
Mr Ball is a history graduate from Canterbury Christchurch College, finishing his studies in 2014 and for a while ran his own business in the city.
He took up the cudgels against Mr Johnson and had hoped to win a legal battle over the contentious claim which infamously appeared on the side of a pro-leave battlebus.
But he has lost his bid to take the case to the Supreme Court. The High Court had thrown out his case in June - but Mr Ball applied for leave to appeal to the UK's highest court.
However, that appeal was rejected by Lady Justice Rafferty. Despite the apparent setback, Mr Ball was defiant, vowing to continue the fight to bring Mr Johnson to book.
He said:"This isn't over, we are not giving up. We are pursuing it, absolutely."
In a statement, he added: "The offence of misconduct in public office has itself never come before the Supreme Court and is in great need of their attention and clarification."
Marcus Ball Pic Instagram @marcusjball (11447159)
Mr Johnson's lawyers have always argued that there was nothing improperor dishonest about the claim and challenged the case at the High Court.
Mr Ball could still continue his legal battle by applying directly to the Supreme Court, challenging the decision in the European Courts or making another attempt at a prosecution. He had successfully crowdfunded more than £390,000 for legal fees to fight the case.

College football conference odds: In new-look Sun Belt, UL-Lafayette, new coach hope to keep pace
By Zach Ewing | August 10, 2022
PHOTOGRAPHER: Ken Schott
Between now and the start of college football season on Sept. 1, we'll preview every conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision with an emphasis on futures odds. Each preview will include a look at favorites, long shots and a pick as well as the full list of odds for the conference.
(If you're just getting started with sports betting and want to learn the terms and how it works, check out Sports Betting 101.)
We'll start with the smaller conferences and work our way toward the top, finishing with the Southeastern Conference just before games kick off. By the time the season starts, you'll have a comprehensive look at the top division in college football.
With Sun Belt Media Days ongoing at the Sheraton New Orleans, it's a great time to look at the south's primary Group of Five conference. The Sun Belt has gone from perhaps the weakest of the FBS leagues to one of the strongest, thanks to improvement from within — the UL-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina and Troy have each proven themselves formidable — and then by emerging a winner from the recent round of realignment.
The SBC poached Marshall, Southern Miss and Old Dominion from Conference USA — additions that would have felt impossible less than 10 years ago — and also took in FCS power James Madison to form a robust 14-team league that stretches from central Texas to coastal Virginia.
Unlike the 2020 season, when UL-Lafayette stunned Iowa State in its pandemic-season opener, Billy Napier's final season in Lafayette started with a thud. The Ragin' Cajuns went to Austin as a preseason top 25 team and were beat soundly, 38-18.
But that was the early nadir for last year's Cajuns, who didn't lose again. They ran off 13 straight victories, including seven by one possession, to claim the Sun Belt crown and then the New Orleans Bowl against future conference mate Marshall.
App State won the East Division, with the key result a 30-27 home win over Coastal Carolina. The Mountaineers' four losses came to Miami, UL twice and to Western Kentucky in the Boca Raton Bowl.
Coastal started out 6-0, including a 27-point victory over Kansas, and was No. 14 in the country when it lost to App State. The Chanticleers only lost once more, 42-40 to Georgia State, but that was enough to give the division to App State.
Other teams who finished in bowl games: Marshall, which was 5-3 in Conference USA and lost that New Orleans Bowl; Georgia State, which topped Ball State in the Camellia Bowl; and Old Dominion, also 5-3 in Conference USA and a 30-17 loser to Tulsa in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
Despite a new coach in Michael Desormeaux and a new quarterback among 11 new starters, the Ragin' Cajuns (+250) are a co-favorite to repeat their Sun Belt title. Such is the level of respect and recruiting gained by Napier (and Desormeaux, his longtime assistant). UL-Lafayette has won the West Division every year since the Sun Belt started staging a title game in 2018, and the Cajuns are favored to do it again.
The other co-favorite isn't a surprise either: Appalachian State (+250) has won the East Division in three of those four years, with Coastal Carolina's triumph in 2020 the only exception. The Mountaineers boast more continuity than the Cajuns, with coach Shawn Clark entering his fourth season and quarterback Chase Brice returning for a second season after transferring from Duke.
App State's problem is that the two other teams atop the odds board are also in the East. Conference newcomer Marshall (+375) will look to make a grand entrance behind freshman All-American running back Rasheen Ali and perhaps the conference's best defense. Then there's Coastal Carolina (+550), which had the best point differential in the league a year ago but return just three starters on each side of the ball — though one of them is prolific quarterback Grayson McCall, who has 5,361 yards, 53 touchdowns and a 71.1% completion rate over two seasons as a starter.
Longer shots
If you're looking for another choice in the West Division, the biggest threat to the Ragin' Cajuns seems to belong to Troy (+1000), which actually moves over from the tougher East Division. The Trojans boasted a top 25 defense last year and return nine starters on that side of the ball, plus 10 on offense — where improvement is needed if Troy is to even get back to a bowl game, much less challenge UL.
Another division newcomer is Southern Miss (+3000), which returns a bunch of production but must somehow improve its offensive line or suffer another painful series of injuries to quarterbacks. And if the Cajuns regress and neither Troy nor Southern Miss steps up, maybe South Alabama (+2200) or Arkansas State (+2800) could fill the void.
Back in the East, Georgia State (+1400) returns a solid nucleus from a team that went 8-5 and won a bowl game, including elite running backs Tucker Gregg and Jamyest Williams. The Panthers' problem is the division: They must play Coastal Carolina on a short week and both App State and Marshall on the road.
One further note: As a team transitioning from FCS, James Madison is ineligible for the postseason, so you won't see the Dukes listed on any odds boards no matter how much talent they bring from the lower level.
Value picks
This isn't a conference to pick a lot of long shots. The favored teams are significantly better than the field by most power metrics.
So the question becomes which of the top teams to back. The early lean here is to UL-Lafayette, even at a short +250 price. You have to have faith that Desormeaux can continue what Napier built, but playing in the far weaker division, it's a reasonable bet that not only will the Cajuns return for a fifth straight Sun Belt title game but also be hosting it.
In the East, take a look at Marshall at +375. The Thundering Herd gets both Coastal Carolina and App State (and ULL) at home and could make noise in their first year in the league.
If you must play a long shot, consider another newcomer in Southern Miss at 30 to 1. The Golden Eagles had an eight-game losing streak last year but ended with back-to-back wins, and the underlying numbers were better than the record suggested. With a lot of returning production, if a surprise emerges from the West, USM has a chance to be it.

                  ];
    }
}

Can I json decode the result of join quiz?, I just want to json decode the quizzes result. when I'm try display this json resource the result like this

this is the controller

    <?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Course;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Resources\CurriculumResource;
use App\Models\Curriculum;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class CurriculumController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return Curriculum::all();
    }

    public function store (Request $request)
    {

        $c = new Curriculum();
        $c->title_section = json_encode($request->get('title_section'));
        $c->learning_objective = json_encode($request->get('learning_objective'));
        $c->user_id = Auth::id();
        $c->course_id = $request->get('course_id');

        $c->save();

        return response(new CurriculumResource($c));

    }
}

What's wrong with my code?, I've also made cast for title_quiz, question, answer and right_answer.

A: Hope this help your problem. It seems like you have double quotation mark
On your Model which has title_quiz, question, answer, and right_answer, add this line of code (depend on your Model):
Model.php
public function getTitleQuizAttribute($value){
    return str_replace('\"','', $value);
}

public function getQuestionAttribute($value){
    return str_replace('\"','', $value);
}

public function getRightAnswerAttribute($value){
    return str_replace('\"','', $value);
}

public function title_quiz($value){
    return str_replace('\"','', $value);
}

public function getAnswerAttribute($value){
    return json_decode($value);
}

They will modify your string first then pass it to your response

Leon Ransmeier believes that "use follows form". As a hands-on designer, Ransmeier works by developing full-scale, usable prototypes. "The only way you can create well-designed objects is by experiencing the objects yourself," he says.
In 2008 he established Ransmeier Inc., a New York-based industrial design practice. Notable projects include the Chiaro chair for Mattiazzi and the Revolver bar stool for HAY. Ransmeier's collaboration with industry often results in subtle interventions into the way we perceive and use things.
With his AGL Table Group for Herman Miller, Ransmeier's focus was to bring comfort and refinement to a familiar form: the table surface. Improving on something as seemingly straightforward and ubiquitous as the table involved considering every detail at length.

Q: Is it possible to copy a file that's "In use" with Python? (File in network drive) As the title kind of asks; it's a relatively straight forward one but I couldn't find anything with my google-fu or on SO already, with the way I'm wording it anyways.
The long and the short is; I have a few different csv files in a Network Drive for work that I want to either:

*

*Read data from to put into a dataframe

*Copy file to a temp location

Every time I run my script, if another user on the network has the file open, I'll receive a permission error as it's "In use" by another user.
Is there anyway around this at all? the people in the file 99.9% of the are purely reading the file and not altering the data, but I can't seem to find a way around just a pure "Read" or "Copy as is" solution.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated, as I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Basic copy of my code as below:
import os
import shutil
import pandas as pd

#Destination
dst = '//network/drive_a/destination/'

#Source Locations
src =  r'//network/drive_b/*.xlsx'

# Get latest file in source
list_of_files = glob.glob(src)
new_file = max(list_of_files, key=os.path.getctime)

#read into dataframe
df = pd.read_excel(new_file)

#add status flag in dataframe
df.loc[:,'status'] = 'Exception'
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

Or if I was copying the file, instead of the dataframe it would be:
#Find Latest file and copy
list_of_files = glob.glob(src)
new_file = max(list_of_files, key=os.path.getctime)
copy_file = shutil.copy2(new_file, dst)```

This Teacher Slept With 15 Year-Old Pupil Over 50 Times But Escaped Jail
A two month 'affair' between a 30 year-old female school teaching assistant and a 15 year-old male pupil in her class has been discovered at a school in Manchester, England, but lead to no jail time for the disgraced woman. Despite admitted to 'sexual activity with a child', Caroline Berriman escaped a prison sentence, even though the unnamed boy is claiming to be 'scarred for life'.
The relationship had developed so far that Berriman's daughter had even begun calling the child 'Daddy'. And, in a bid to keep the boy's interests, she'd even claimed to be pregnant with his child.
Berriman, who helped teach classes at the 1,600 pupil Abraham Moss Community School in Oldham, Greater Manchester, contacted the boy on Facebook after taking a shine to him in class and moved things forward from there.
The boy told a UK newspaper: "We would call and text each other all the time and it got more and more into a sort of relationship. Then she started ringing me on weekends, asking if I was going round to hers."
"It slowly got more serious. It got to a point where her daughter was calling me 'dad'. I used to say to her "I'm not, I'm your mum's friend"."
While she swerved time inside, Berriman did receive a two years suspended sentence, 250 hours of unpaid community work and has a restraining order prohibiting her from contacting the boy. Both have now left the school.
