      FATHER'S LITTLE DIVIDEND by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Cinematography: William A. Fraker

U.S. Distributor: Touchstone Pictures

     The curious thing about FATHER OF THE BRIDE II is that not only
is it the sequel to a remake, but it's the remake of a sequel.  As such,
it's a perfect illustration of stretching an idea too far.  Certain
premises lack the necessary material for a multiple features, and this
is one such example.  As FATHER'S LITTLE DIVIDEND (upon which this
screenplay is based) paled in comparison to the original FATHER OF THE
BRIDE, so this production is an uninspired follow-up to its immediate
predecessor.

     FATHER OF THE BRIDE II is proof that there's a limit to how
much life can be coaxed from a feel-good formula.  While the 1991 Steve
Martin movie was good for ninety-plus minutes of undemanding fun, the
second chapter is stale and overflowing with treacle.  Shot by
cinematographer William Fraker with warm, golden tones, it's a
celebration of suburbia as the ultimate culmination of the "American
Dream."

     The overriding theme of this film is identical to that of the first
FATHER OF THE BRIDE:  letting go of a child.  Previously, Steve Martin's
George Banks had trouble accepting that his daughter, Annie (Kimberly
Williams), was ready to enter into a marriage with nice guy Brian
MacKenzie (George Newbern).  Here, when Annie announces that she's
pregnant, George finds it difficult coming to grips with the realization
that the baby will cement Brian and Annie's family, further distancing
him from his beloved daughter.  A secondary issue is briefly raised
about George coping with the approach of his fiftieth birthday, but it's
quickly dropped after George learns that not only is he about to be a
grandfather, but his wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is going to have their
third child.

     I have often said that, in a comedy, much silliness and sappiness
can be forgiven in the service of solid humor.  But, while FATHER OF THE
BRIDE has a few genuinely funny moments, it spends entirely too much
time trying to be dramatic.  The result is that the recycled sentiment
becomes overwhelming -- so much so that Martin himself jokingly refers
to his clan as the "schmaltz family."  Trite lines like "Thanks for
marrying me, Nina" and "Life isn't gonna get much better than this"
pepper the screenplay.

     Martin and Keaton are appealing separately and together, but their
relationship got all the development it needed in part one; here,
they're treading water, trying to keep the film afloat by sheer screen
presence.  It's not enough.  Kimberly Williams all-but-fades into the
background.  Outside of her scenes with Martin, she's pretty much
invisible.  Would that the same could be said about the duo of Martin
Short and B.D. Wong (reprising their roles from part one), whose
exaggerated accents and mannerisms go far beyond being irritating -- and
scenes with these two are supposed to be comic highlights...  To add
insult to injury, Eugene Levy is on hand as a caricature of a greedy
Arab who's almost as offensive as Short's Franck Eggelhoffer.  One
bright spot is Jane Adams' on-target portrayal of a competent
obstetrician.

     In the Age of Family Values, FATHER OF THE BRIDE II will be
welcomed with open arms by the likes of Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole (who
will probably praise it without seeing it).  There's nothing "morally
indecent" about the film -- no profanity, no sex outside marriage, and a
healthy dose of hugs and smiles.  That FATHER OF THE BRIDE II isn't
a particularly engrossing motion picture won't make much difference to
that crowd.  Or, judging by the enthusiastic audience response, to the
portion of the American public that laps up whatever Hollywood puts out,
regardless of how unoriginal and artistically empty the product is.

Lettering for Kate Bush Album - Before the Dawn
I was thrilled to be asked to work on the new album lettering for long-time musical hero, Kate Bush. Before The Dawn was recorded during the extraordinary run of 22 shows performed by Kate at London's Hammersmith Apollo, 2014 and released November 2016. Earlier in the year, I was asked by renowned music industry designers, Stuart Crouch Creative, to develop a range of hand lettering to work with the CD cover photography and inner booklet pages. I immediately immersed myself in Kate Bush's music, from the early albums that influenced my teenage years to the latest magical performances from the 2014 shows. I decided to develop some loose brush work, not too formal but still legible with a striated, textural ebb and flow that complemented the richly-coloured photography taken from the show. Nothing on the album was re-recorded or overdubbed and I wanted this rawness to be reflected in the immediacy of the brush strokes. Developing an album design is a long process that goes through much revision, not all artwork gets used - so it was certainly a dream come true when I heard my lettering was approved for the CD and vinyl boxset booklet!

Q: divide a dataframe on special threshold I got a DataFrame as an example:
name  age
Ashe   12
Ashe   13
Ashe   23
John   33
John   45
Karin  55
David  84
Zaki   34
Mano   45

my threshold is I need to divide this on distinct names like I need 3 distinct names so I need the output to be :
name  age
Ashe   12
Ashe   13
Ashe   23
John   33
John   45
Karin  55

and the second DF :
name  age
David  84
Zaki   34
Zaki   23
Zaki   35
Mano   45

what can I do?

A: from itertools import islice

def chunk(lst, size):
    lst = iter(lst)
    return iter(lambda: tuple(islice(lst, size)), ())

name_groups = list(chunk(df.name.unique(),3))
data = {}
for i, group in enumerate(name_groups):
    data[f'df{i}'] = df[df.name.isin(group)]

The chunk function splits an array to chunks of size n (in our case - 3)
You can read more here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/22045226/13104290
name_groups contains a list of tuples with up to 3 elements each one:
[('Ashe', 'John', 'Karin'), ('David', 'Zaki', 'Mano')]
Since we sent df.name.unique(), there are no duplications.
Now we need to dynamically create each new dataframe, we'll do this by creating a dictionary and adding each new partition one at a time.
The dictionary now contains two dataframes, df0 and df1.
data['df0'] :
    name    age
0   Ashe    12
1   Ashe    13
2   Ashe    23
3   John    33
4   John    45
5   Karin   55

data['df1']:
    name    age
6   David   84
7   Zaki    34
8   Mano    45

The best bond between two pieces of the same material is a chemical bond, where the chemical in the adhesive melts the contact surfaces and they fuse together. That never happens with Polyethylene as the material is impervious to almost all chemicals. The only way to achieve this kind of bond with Polyethylene is with heat, melting the contact surfaces and pressing them together, or using a "like material" welding rod to braise the pieces together. In both of these cases the amount of surface area contact is directly relevant to the strength of the bond. For example if you are trying to bond the edge of a 3 mm piece of material to a flat surface, the success of your bond will depend on only 3 mm of surface area, and resulting in a weak glue joint doomed to fail. However if you are wanting to bond the surfaces of two 150 mm x 150 mm pieces of material together you would have 24 time more chance of a successful glue joint.
The last thing effecting Polyethylene repairs is the age or amount of Ultra Violet light to which the material has been exposed. Polyethylene becomes less flexible and less resilient with age. Our stores have seen many Polyethylene Kayaks, Canoes and small Boats brought in to repair a hole or a crack. Often these items show signs of previous attempts at repairs with everything from silicone to blow torches. When we ask where the Customer acquired this craft . . . usually the answer is "I found it floating in the Ocean". . . Well who knows how long it has been floating around the world and most likely the original owner gave up on repairing the thing and rather than disposing of it responsibly simply turn it loose. However the fact is when these Polyethylene items crack or get punctured its is almost always because the material is past it's "Best Before Date". So while we can Hot Air Weld a patch over the broken area, the heat we need to apply will accelerate the aging process of the area around the repair, resulting is a new crack with any future impact.
Polyethylene is a super useful plastic, the fact that it is impervious to most chemicals and solvents makes it ideal for containers. It's hot flow characteristics make it great for Rotational and Blow Molding and it's flexibility provides a great deal of resilience to the products into which it is made. However it does have a shelf life and when that time has been reached, the best thing to do is recycle it!


Consolidated Nuclear Security, the government's managing contractor at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant, today said it had "identified and isolated" the problem that caused the outage in the plant's unclassified computer network. The disruption reportedly began on Monday afternoon.
The contractor and the National Nuclear Security Administration have refused to provide details of the problem, say if the plant's computer system had been hit with a virus, or answer questions pertaining to the plant's classified computer network.
Even with full capabilities reportedly restored, it appeared that email responses were more sluggish than usual.

Dieser Artikel bietet eine Übersicht der Volksabstimmungen in der Schweiz im Jahr 1875.

In der Schweiz fanden auf Bundesebene zwei Volksabstimmungen statt, beide im Rahmen eines einzigen Urnengangs am 23. Mai. Es handelte sich um die ersten fakultativen Referenden. Dieses Instrument der direkten Demokratie war mit der erfolgreichen Totalrevision der Bundesverfassung im Jahr zuvor eingeführt worden.

Abstimmungen am 23. Mai 1875

Ergebnisse

Zivilstand und Ehe
Mit der Totalrevision der Bundesverfassung war die Regelung von Zivilstand und Ehe vollständig von den kirchlichen Behörden an den Staat übergegangen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt kannten die Kantone Basel-Stadt, Genf und Neuenburg bereits die obligatorische Zivilehe. Im Oktober 1874 verabschiedete das Parlament trotz heftiger Proteste der Katholisch-Konservativen – damals war der Kulturkampf im vollen Gange – das «Bundesgesetz betreffend Feststellung und Beurkundung des Zivilstandes und die Ehe». Schweizweit sollten nur noch staatliche Behörden die rechtsverbindliche Eheschliessung vollziehen dürfen. Es war jedoch der protestantische Eidgenössische Verein, der das Referendum ergriff. Während sich die Konservativen gegen das Zurückdrängen der Kirche zur Wehr setzten und eine Entwertung der kirchlichen Ehe befürchteten, störten sich liberale Föderalisten an der Zentralisierung staatlicher Kompetenzen beim Bund. Die Befürworter priesen die Vorlage als Ausdruck von Freiheit und Fortschritt, denn sie ermögliche die Gleichstellung aller Bürger und befreie die Katholiken aus den Fängen der «despotischen» Kirche. Das Gesetz wurde knapp angenommen, wobei der Anteil der Ja-Stimmen in einzelnen katholischen Kantonen zum Teil deutlich unter 20 Prozent lag.

Politische Stimmberechtigung der Schweizerbürger
Die Verfassung von 1874 gewährte Niedergelassenen das Stimmrecht im neuen Wohnsitzkanton in kantonalen und neu auch in Gemeindeangelegenheiten. Sie übertrug dem Bund die Möglichkeit, die kantonal unterschiedlich geregelten Ausschlussgründe (z. B. Geisteskrankheit, strafrechtlicher Verurteilung oder Konkurs) gesetzlich zu regeln und damit das Stimm- und Wahlrecht für die ganze Schweiz zu vereinheitlichen. Im Oktober 1874 legte der Bundesrat einen Gesetzesentwurf vor, mit dem die Ausschlussgründe bis auf wenige Ausnahmen beseitigt werden sollten. Zusätzlich zu den kantonsfremden Niedergelassenen sollte das Stimmrecht auch auf Gemeindeebene auf die gesetzlich nicht näher umschriebenen Aufenthalter ausgedehnt werden. Der Nationalrat stimmte deutlich zu, der Ständerat hingegen nur mit Stichentscheid des Präsidenten. Daraufhin brachte der Eidgenössische Verein ein Referendum zustande, unterstützt von Katholiken und liberalen Föderalisten aus der Romandie. Die breite Allianz von Gegnern wehrte sich in erster Linie gegen die Ausdehnung des Stimm- und Wahlrechts auf die Aufenthalter, da die fehlende Abgrenzung zu den Niedergelassenen die Verfassung verletze. Das Gesetz scheiterte äusserst knapp mit nicht einmal 5000 Stimmen Unterschied, wobei die Zustimmung von 7 Prozent im Kanton Uri bis 76 Prozent im Kanton Thurgau reichte.

Was your current air conditioner installed correctly? That may seem like an odd question. The A/C is running, so it must have been installed correctly. That may or may not be true. A successful A/C installation involves more than just getting the equipment to work. Here are four factors that should be considered in a successful air conditioner installation.
The A/C system must be properly sized for your home. A quality installation starts with the HVAC contractor using the ACCA's Manual J to perform a calculation on how large a system you will need. Manual J calculations take into consideration the size of your home and its configuration to determine the size system you need. If the A/C is too large, it will cycle on and off quickly, which will prevent the system from dehumidifying the air. If the system is too small, it will run constantly driving up your energy costs.
Old ductwork can leak 20 percent or more of your cool air into the attic or crawlspace. Addressing the ductwork is essential for a quality air conditioning installation. One option is to replace it completely. The other is to make any repairs necessary, seal the entire system, and insulate it.
The A/C needs to move a certain amount of air to keep your home cool. The A/C manufacturer specifies appropriate airflow rates for particular situations. In a quality installation, the HVAC contractor will adjust the airflow according to those specifications and verify that it is working properly.
The manufacturer also specifies how much refrigerant the system needs to run efficiently. The HVAC contractor should check the refrigerant levels before turning the system on for the first time. If the refrigerant level is too low, the system will not cool properly and it will drive up your energy costs.
If you suspect that your A/C installation was not done correctly, or need to get a new A/C, call in HVAC professionals. Check out the Air Experts' air conditioning solutions or call 919-887-2132.


Cashews health benefits includes aiding production of blood, supporting heart health, preventing cancer, improving blood pressure, helps fight migraine, prevents formation of gallstones, and support weight lose. other benefits includes boosting testosterone level, helps increase bone mass density, maintain skin health, help preserve vision, support liver health and help improve fertility.
Cashews are extremely popular throughout the world, thanks to its buttery and mild salty sweet flavor, which makes it a food worth savoring. Scientifically known as Anacardium occidentale, cashews are actually not "nuts" but rather seeds, as they grow attached to fruit.
Originally found growing in the Portuguese colony of Brazil, they soon started to be exported, and now grow many places with a subtropical climate. They are widely consumed and offer great flexibility for inclusion into numerous dishes, being able to be made into cashew butter as well; an excellent peanut butter alternative.
Cashews are extremely calorie dense, supplying well over 500 calories in just a 100g serving. Nevertheless, they are extremely nutritious, delicious and possess multiple health benefits we can take advantage of.
Cashews are abundant in the amount of copper and iron they possess, which are important pre-requisites in the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry hemoglobin, the protein to which oxygen binds and enables supply to cells throughout the body. Regular consumption of cashews will benefit your blood count, and will lead to bolstered energy levels in the process.
Even though cashews can be considered high fat, they are not rich in the kind that is generally bad for you. Instead, they contains lots of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are the kind that is beneficial to the health of your heart, as they assist in cholesterol lowering, can keep blood vessels healthy and more. Studies have consistently shown that Mediterranean style diets, high is beneficial monounsaturated fats are superior for heart health, and help prevent heart related illnesses.
Cashews contain compounds known as proanthocyanins, which are a class of flavonols that suppresses cancer cell replication. This is an important function, as once cancer cell replication starts, it quickly becomes difficult to get a hold of, and explains why a shotgun approach is often employed when treating cancer- hurting good cells in the process. Plus, cashews are rich in copper, a mineral which reduces a cells propensity to mutate, and shows particular promise in managing and preventing colon cancer.
Cashews contain two important minerals involved in blood pressure regulation- potassium and magnesium, which help promote blood vessel relaxation and counteract the effects of excessive sodium. Excessive sodium levels promote retention of water, which raises blood volume and blood pressure. Potassium is also involved in heart muscle contractility via nerve conduction.
In recent years, magnesium's potential for treating migraines has skyrocketed, simply because it is very effective ion reducing symptoms and frequency of attacks. Though it is not sure why, magnesium appears to have a role in relieving spasm of the blood vessels under the scalp, and making the nerves less sensitive to painful stimuli.
For years experts have believed that gallstones are caused when serum cholesterol levels are high, but this is not part true. Gallstones can in fact be caused by low cholesterol levels, but more often as a result of high circulating triglycerides. The rich monounsaturated fat content contained in cashews can significantly reduce gallstone formation or risk, as well as reducing your poor cholesterol profile- helping eliminate them as a trigger point.
Yes, even though cashews are by nature very calorie heavy foods, in moderation they can actually help you lose weight. This is in large part to due to its generous servings of monounsaturated fats, which help to mobilize stored fats into free fatty acids where they can be burned, and to the presence of copper, a trace mineral with important effects on your metabolism. Deficiency of copper can negatively affect thyroid function, along with metabolism of the macronutrients fats, carbohydrates and fats. Copper is also an important element involved in the synthesis of numerous co-enzymes and factors, many of which are involved in the body's essential biochemical processes.
While we know well that calcium is an essential and important component of health bones, there are a slew of micronutrients whose functions go unmentioned. Among these are copper, which can actually help increase the mineralization of bone- thereby making it more structurally dense and less prone to fractures or osteoporosis. There are cases when copper deficiency is the limiting factor to healthy bones, as calcium and other mineral requirements have been met, but bones are still weak.
While Vitamin C is known to increase collagen synthesis in the body, copper is a mineral that is involved in the maintenance of collagen and elastin. This is important, as deficiency of this mineral results in increased turnover of these tissue types, and can lead to premature skin sagging. Be sure to consume foods high in Vitamin C along with cashews for extra insurance and youthful looking skin.
There are many minerals that play a beneficial role on testosterone levels, but selenium is not often discussed. However, that should not be the case, as selenium has been proven in studies to be able to boost testosterone levels. Selenium also reduces risk of prostate and testicular cancer and is especially beneficial to men's sexual wellness.
While cashews do not have any Vitamin A to boast of, it contains small amounts of the anti-oxidant zeaxanthin, which prevent damage to the macula within the eyes. This anti-oxidant also has a UV filtering effect, which helps to reflect these rays from causing damage within the eyes.
The liver is responsible for the processing and breakdown of waste products every single day of our lives, and while it generally does this very well, it can become "stressed" from time to time. During such cases, it is important to offer liver support, by helping enhance its natural anti-oxidant potential. Cashews contain copper, which assist in production of liver enzymes and superoxide dismutase, powerful molecules that reduce the damage potential of free radicals.
Occasionally, fertility can be improved easily, by simply improving your diet and the nutritional density of it. In such cases, trace minerals like zinc and selenium can be of excellent support, increasing sperm count, boosting testosterone and also improving the quality of sperm.
Do you need more excuses to consume cashews now? We didn't think so. Cashews are already extremely delicious, but you now also know that they are highly nutritious. Regardless of your goals, cashews can be squeezed into your diet, given that you control portion size a bit. Consume yours unsalted, and experience all they can do for you. They are available year round, so purchasing shouldn't be an issue. Consume as they are, chop and sprinkle on treats or other food, or consume buttered- it's your choice. Just don't miss out on enjoying this delicious nut.

Safe Simul Climbing is part of the e-book - The Trad Climber's Guide To Problem Solving.
Simul climbing is a technique where all climbers move at the same time while tied into the same rope. Protection is placed by the first climber and removed by the last.
This technique allows climbers to extend the length of their pitches, without extending the length of their rope. With experience, a simul-pitch can stretch for 300m or more, whereas a belayed pitch is limited by the length of your rope.
- Much faster than belayed climbing.
- Much more dangerous than belayed climbing. If the follower falls, they could pull the leader off too.
- On long, easy routes when it is safer to move fast (e.g: climbing pitch-by-pitch would result in getting hit by a storm or stranded overnight).
- On a long, exposed approach or descent when a fall is very unlikely, but the consequences would be severe.
- If a pitch is slightly longer than your rope length. A short section of simul climbing can allow the leader to reach a more solid belay.
The leader begins climbing. They place gear and are belayed with a GriGri.
When the leader has climbed the full length of the available rope, the belayer simply begins climbing (leaving their GriGri attached to their belay loop).
Both climbers continue up, moving at the exact same speed and keeping protection on the rope between them.
When the leader reaches a suitable anchor, they stop climbing and belay the follower up.
With both climbers constantly moving, it is easier to stay warm, and so belay jackets could be left behind. With a faster style of ascent, you could take less food and water.
The less you bring, the easier the climbing will feel, and the less chance you will have of getting exhausted or benighted on a long route. However, the decision to leave critical items behind should only be made with lots of experience.
Depending on how long you plan to stretch your simul-pitches, you may want to bring a bigger rack. Having more gear enables you to climb the route in less pitches and therefore spend less time changing over belays.
It's better to distribute the gear fairly evenly between the leader and the follower so that neither climber has an excessively heavy load. Often, the leader will take a little more weight so the follower will be able to stay as light and nimble as possible. Remember that the leader will start the simul-pitch with the whole rack, but the follower will have it all by the end.
For most situations, the optimum distance between climbers while simul climbing is around 30m. This is close enough that you can communicate well with each other and manage rope drag, while being long enough to ensure adequate protection between climbers.
Simply using a 30m rope has drawbacks, especially if your route has an involved descent. Shortening a full length rope with coils will give you more options on the route. There are several ways of doing this. A simple setup is described below.
- Tied in to the end of the rope with a figure-8.
- 20-30m of rope is neatly coiled over the shoulder, then pulled tight to belay loop with an alpine butterfly.
- GriGri pre-attached to belay loop with a small amount of slack in the rope.
- GriGri pre-attached to belay loop (this allows a quick transition to belaying when needed).
The leader could also attach to the rope with coils in the same way as the follower. Each climber takes half the number of coils so the length of rope between them is still the same. This enables the leader to quickly release some extra rope without needing to communicate this to the follower.
Make sure to keep your rope coils tight so they are unlikely to snag on rock features as you climb. Whenever releasing coils, always keep a hand on the brake strand of rope until you either re-tie your coils or reach the end of the rope – GriGri's are not designed to be hands-free.
The main danger with simul climbing is falling. This isn't a big deal if the leader falls (assuming they protected the climb well and the follower hasn't allowed slack into the system). However, if the follower falls, they will probably pull the leader off too. The leader will then be sucked, crotch first, into their last piece of gear.
- There is twice as much weight falling on the piece.
- The second cannot give a dynamic belay because they are falling.
The force generated is much more likely to explode that gear from the rock. For this reason, it is not safe to simul climb on routes that are loose, runout, or that either member of the team may find difficult. Using progress-capture devices reduces the chance of this type of fall.
It's easy to get swept up in the flow of a long simul-lead, and take unnecessary risks.
- Communicate clearly with your partner about your plan.
- Ensure that you protect the climb well when needed.
- Save enough gear to make a solid anchor.
- Be prepared to switch to belayed climbing anytime, even if this involves downclimbing.
- Be aware of your partners position on the route. If there is a tricky section, you should place gear on the rope in front of you just before they climb it, so that you are both protected. Or better, make an anchor and belay them up.
On long ridges, there are often stretches of non-exposed hiking between steeper rock sections. A rope which is dragged through hiking terrain is likely to get stuck or dislodge rocks. It may be safer to put the rope away and stay close together, therefore avoiding any self-inflicted rockfall danger, and being able communicate more easily about route-finding.
Make sure you have a solid belay when transitioning back to belaying or simul climbing. Being unroped on exposed and/or difficult terrain is obviously very dangerous.
It is important for both climbers to move at the same pace so there is no unnecessary slack in the system. Having too much slack can result in either an unnecessarily long fall for the leader, or a high loading of the progress-capture device if the follower falls. The follower also risks pulling the leader off the wall if they are not keeping up the pace, or if they have to down-climb.
Keeping the exact same pace all the time is extremely difficult. However, using rope coils makes this much easier.
For example, the leader may stop to place gear, while the follower is in a strenuous or awkward position. Instead of staying there, the follower can move up to a comfortable position while pulling the excess slack through their GriGri. From a resting position, the follower can then belay the slack rope back while the leader climbs up.
Also, if the follower would prefer a real belay for a difficult section, but the leader needs more rope to reach a solid anchor, the follower can release some coils and belay the leader until they find an anchor.
Once the leader has made a suitable anchor, the follower can either tie-off the coils again or continue belaying out the rest of their coils while the leader belays the rope in. This ensures there is never any unnecessary slack in the system. Once all the slack has been taken in, the leader can continue to belay the follower up to the anchor.
Similarly, if the leader encounters more difficult ground, the follower can stop at a good stance and/or make an anchor. The follower can then release their coils and belay the leader. Being able to quickly transition between simuling and belayed climbing allows you to safely navigate crux sections while cruising across the easier terrain.
The use of a progress-capture device (such as the RollNLock or Tibloc) can protect the leader from receiving too hard of a pull on their rope if the follower falls.
The leader simply attaches a PCD to a piece of gear as shown. In theory, if the follower falls, the device will lock on the rope and hold the fall without affecting the leader.
In reality, there are serious drawbacks, which could make the situation more dangerous if the system is not fully understood.
PCD's should be attached to bomber multi-directional gear with minimum extension. Clipping one directly to a bolt is the best option, but they can also work well with trad gear if some cunning sling craft is used. Make sure your rope is able to run freely through the device.
The more the device can move up or down, the more the leader will 'feel' a tug if the follower falls and therefore have a greater chance of being pulled off. This will also exert a greater force on the rope, increasing the chance of ruining the sheath. Do not extend a PCD.
The leader should place another progress-capture device before the follower removes the previous one, so there is always one in the system.
* A high force (such as the follower falling when there is slack in the system, or falling on a ridge traverse) could sever the rope's sheath.
* On wandering climbs, the PCD may get pulled to one side, causing it to (depending on the type of device) disengage or add rope drag.
* Many types of PCD work poorly on wet or icy ropes.
* If the leader needs to downclimb, the follower cannot take in any of the slack created. In this case, the leader must belay themselves down with their GriGri.
* If the follower needs to downclimb, they will have to remove their coils and self-belay down.
There are many PCD's available, but some are more suitable than others for simul climbing.
A device with a ribbed camming style is less harsh on rope sheaths than a toothed device. A PCD with a ball bearing pulley will feed rope through smoother than one without.
A good device is the Climbing Technology RollNLock which features a ribbed cam and a ball bearing pulley.
Another commonly used device with a ball bearing pulley is the Petzl Micro Traxion. However, this is a toothed device and so is more likely to damage a rope's sheath.
Other ribbed devices include the Kong Duck and the Wild Country Ropeman. These do not have a pulley, so do not feed as smoothly as the RollNLock. A much simpler device is the Petzl Tibloc which is cheaper and lighter than the others but is toothed and has no pulley.
Simul climbing does not need to be epic. For example, if after climbing a full rope length, the leader is still 3 meters away from a belay, the follower may be able to safely provide them with enough rope by removing their belay and walking 3 meters across a ledge. This may be much safer than the leader attempting a desperate downclimb.
The techniques discussed in this section are for advanced, experienced climbers who are looking for creative ways to solve problems and climb faster. Make sure you fully understand the dangers and only apply simul climbing techniques to situations when it is safe to do so.

Jane and Joseph Clementi: End bullying on #Day1
Everyone responsible for molding young people needs to take matters into their own hands.
Jane and Joseph Clementi: End bullying on #Day1 Everyone responsible for molding young people needs to take matters into their own hands. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: http://usat.ly/1JLUVE7
Jane Clementi and Joseph Clementi Published 8:03 a.m. ET June 13, 2015

Each year, more than 3.2 million students in the United States identify as victims of bullying. Tragically, that number doesn't even begin to address the individuals who experience harassment outside of educational institutions — in the workplace, on a team, or at a place of worship. That figure might seem surprising to some, but not to us. Our son Tyler, who ended his life five years ago, was a victim of cruel cyber-bullying. He put a face and a name to this epidemic.
Vicious, and at times debilitating, bullying is a routine fact of life for too many young people. This kind of harassment and humiliation leaves physical and emotional scars — sometimes for life — and can be a factor in truancy, substance abuse and suicide.
Since launching the Tyler Clementi Foundation in 2010, we've focused on boosting awareness around bullying. We need all Americans to know about the real cost of this kind of abuse. Part of this has been identifying and defining what to watch out for, since bullying takes on many forms — especially in the age of social media.
Over the last five years, we've traveled thousands of miles and met thousands of people who have been affected by bullying. We've been to the White House, athletic fields, middle schools and college campuses. These conversations have transcended political divisions and have included those who are new to the issue, as well as those who are skeptical that bullying even exists. If the sum of all of those conversations was to stay one bully's hand, give a second choice to a conflicted teen, or push one parent or teacher to intervene, then we've succeeded.
Campus-carry gun laws won't make colleges safer: Our view
Campus carry offers protection: Opposing view
Spreading awareness and pushing a conversation is valuable, and we are confident that our culture is moving in the right direction. But we've decided it's time to move to the next phase and actively push organizations to prevent this abuse before it happens.
Starting this summer, we are calling on individual students, teachers, managers and coaches — as well as colleges, universities and any institution that is responsible for molding young people — to take matters into their own hands, and put an end to bullying on Day One.
This effort, which we've named #Day1, is an effective, immediate and simple way to reduce bullying, harassment and humiliation. The program focuses on targeted intervention during orientation. Everyone should know, from the very first day they come to campus, that some forms of what has been deemed "socially acceptable" teasing or cruelty are unacceptable. This means that the cumulative damage of an anonymous mob piling onto a student repeatedly on Twitter and cruel or threatening taunts on a Facebook wall both constitute as bullying.
The more direct mean texts, and traditional forms such as ganging up on a student who may be socially awkward or poor at sports; or a boy or girl who seems different; or a student who may be a different race, religion or ethnicity — if they are made to feel isolated, less-than or physically or emotionally threatened — that's all bullying. In short, knowing what we know, knowing how high the stakes are, we can't say, "that's just harmless hazing," or "boys will be boys," any longer.
#Day1 does not cost taxpayer money, increase tuition or demand a fee. But it can change culture and produce positive outcomes in an instant. All it requires is a person in authority to clearly state that bullying or intimidation will not be tolerated and teach new stakeholders what to look out for. Once the rules are explained early in the tenure of new students, employees, or athletes, participants must verbally confirm that they understand.
Many psychological studies have highlighted something called a "bystander effect," showing that the larger the group, the less likely individuals are to act when they see someone being harmed. #Day1 works to interrupt this thinking by encouraging individuals to be "upstanders" — people who stand up for a victim and up to bullying.
Kirsten Powers: How Mike Huckabee fails his Christian duty
The tragedy of our son Tyler's situation is that perhaps hundreds of people were aware that he was being bullied and said nothing. We hope that #Day1 will provide individuals like them with the resources they need to stand up to bullying when they see it, helping to prevent future tragedies.
Shifting our culture and changing attitudes about what is not acceptable behavior can be a painstaking and slow process. But it can also be as simple as having an initial conversation, setting an early example and empowering individuals to stand up for what is right. We are hopeful that in the new school year, teachers, coaches and campuses will adopt #Day1 as a foundational, inspirational, affirming start to their school year. We hope to see you in stadiums, classrooms and auditoriums — and we know that Tyler will be with us in spirit this year and through a lifetime of Day Ones.

When it comes to synchrotron light sources, brighter is better. By using bright beams in their accelerator, researchers at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) synchrotron facility can efficiently gather detailed data. In collaboration with APS engineers, Nicholas Goldring of RadiaSoft LLC creates and distributes simulation applications for designing vacuum chambers relevant to the APS. Below, find a video recording and summary of his keynote talk from the COMSOL Conference 2018 Boston.
From the video: Nicholas Goldring discusses the beam brightness (top right) and vacuum chambers (bottom right) before and after the upgrade.
To accurately simulate the behavior of the APS synchrotron and other accelerators, RadiaSoft creates models, turns them into simulation applications, and then distributes them to project stakeholders.
The synchrotron vacuum chamber is a true multiphysics problem, but in a typical accelerator simulation, Goldring explained that "there are many different codes […] and they are very specialized" — usually to one physical process. This is problematic because going back and forth between simulations is error prone and time consuming.
As a solution to this issue, the engineers at RadiaSoft use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for ray tracing, thermal analysis, molecular flow models, and more. After building a model, they turn it into a simulation application and distribute it using the COMSOL Server™ deployment product. This enables scientists and engineers who aren't familiar with the codes or COMSOL Multiphysics to run their own simulations.
From the video: Nicholas Goldring showing the vacuum chamber application.
By deploying their simulation applications with COMSOL Server™, RadiaSoft is making it easier for scientists and engineers to test and optimize accelerator designs.
This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Award Number DE-SC0015209.

The Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-related genes plays central roles in regulating apoptotic pathways (reviewed in Thomadaki and Scorilas, 2006). Regulation of cell death through apoptosis is critical for the maintenance of homeostasis, defense against infectious agents, and normal development. Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis primarily through the regulation of mitochondrial outer membrane permeability. In mammals, the family consists of both prosurvival (antiapoptotic) and proapoptotic (prodeath) members. Cellular homeostasis is thought to be dependent on a balance between the actions of prosurvival and proapoptotic proteins. Bcl-2 family proteins can be divided into 3 main subfamilies on the basis of their function and the content of their Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains, for example: 1) Prosurvival: Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bcl-W, A1, and Mcl-1 2) Proapoptotic (multidomain): Bax, Bak, and Bok. 3) BH3-only (proapoptotic): Bad, Bcl-XS, Bid, Bik, Bim, Blk, Bmf, Bnip, Noxa, and Puma. Prosurvival members inhibit cells from undergoing apoptosis, whereas proapoptotic and BH3-only subfamily members promote apoptosis. There are 4 BH domains (1-4) conserved among Bcl-2 family proteins. The BH domains are important for function as well as for heterodimerization between family members. Typical prosurvival family members have all four BH domains (1-4), whereas proapoptotic (multidomain) members have BH1, 2 and 3 domains and BH3-only members have only the BH3 domain. Overall, the relative ratio of prosurvival and proapoptotic proteins determines the suseptibility of a cell to various apoptotic stimuli. Many Bcl-2 family proteins are differentially expressed in various malignancies and some are useful prognostic biomarkers. Prosurvival proteins are often elevated in diverse cancers and have the potential to confer resistance to both endogenous cell death stimuli and cancer treatments. Alterations in the ratio or levels of Bcl-2 family proteins have been also associated with nonmalignant diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, AIDs, Down's syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, glomerulonephritis, and muscular dystrophy. This antibody recognizes Bcl-XL and Bcl-XS. Human Bcl-XL is a 233 amino acid protein.

What Would Donald Trump's Immigration Plan Cost?
by Demian Brady, Michael Tasselmyer September 10, 2015
Businessman Donald Trump continues to lead in the polls as the media spotlight remains focused on his campaign. Trump has been especially outspoken on immigration but only recently has he outlined his plans in a formal policy paper available via his website.
The paper elaborates on "core principles" that Trump asserts will lead to "real immigration reform." Although the plan includes one verifiable savings and could also lead to possible but indeterminate additional welfare-related savings, the plan would also require $6.6 billion in spending increases per year, or a net of $32.7 billion over the next five years.
Southern Border Wall: "There must be a wall across the southern border."
Cost: $2.52 billion per year ($12.6 billion over five years)
Notes: According to reports, 650 miles of fencing have been constructed along the southern border, 350 miles of which is pedestrian fencing. In 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that vehicular fencing along the southwest border would cost about $1 million per mile on average while pedestrian fencing would cost about $3.9 million. The report also notes, "However, once contracts were awarded, the average per mile costs had increased to $6.5 million per mile for pedestrian fencing and $1.8 million per mile for vehicle fencing … the per mile costs increased over time due to various factors, such as property acquisition costs incurred for these miles that were not a factor for many of the previous miles and costs for labor and materials increased."
Based on that pedestrian-related figure, fencing across the remaining 1,283 miles of border, could cost upwards of $8.3 billion.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 mandated the completion of 700 miles of double-layer fencing but to date just 36.3 miles meet this requirement. Building an additional 663.7 miles of layered fencing could add another $4.3 billion to the total cost.
It is unknown exactly how long it would take to complete fencing across the entire border and to what degree difficult terrain or negotiations with private landowners could increase costs. Between 2008 and 2010, much of 225 miles of a pedestrian fencing project was completed, a rate of less than 75 miles per year. However, until more information becomes available from the candidate, NTUF assumes Trump will prioritize and expedite the construction in order to complete the project within five years.
Trump proposes to pressure the Mexican government into paying for the border wall by impounding remittances, increasing fees on work visas and at U.S./Mexican ports of entry, and potentially imposing tariffs or cutting foreign aid until the wall's costs are covered. It is unknown exactly what combination of these policies Trump would employ to offset this new spending.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): "Triple the Number of ICE officers."
Cost: $2.167 billion per year ($10.834 billion over five years)
Notes: In FY 2015 there were 7,539 full-time equivalents in Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Detention and Removal Operations division. Trump cites Congressional testimony stating that "only approximately 5,000 officers and agents within ICE perform the lion's share of ICE's immigration mission." H.R. 2278, the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act (113th Congress) would have provided for the hiring of an additional 5,000 deportation officers, 700 support staff, and 60 trial attorneys at a cost of $5.4 billion over five years. NTUF doubled this figure to determine the cost of tripling the number of ICE officers.
Tax Credit Payments to Illegal Immigrants: "[Tripling the number of ICE officers] will be funded by accepting the recommendation of the Inspector General for Tax Administration and eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants."
Cost: -$1.186 billion per year (-$5.929 billion over five years) Savings
Notes: The 2011 report cited by Trump found that $4.2 billion in refundable credits were paid to individuals who were not authorized to work in the United States. These individuals were not eligible for Social Security numbers and so each were assigned an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) which enabled them to be eligible for the Child Tax Credit, a "refundable" credit that can be claimed above and beyond a filer's income tax liability.
An early version of H.R. 3630 in the 112th Congress would have required that filers have a Social Security number in order to be eligible for the Child Tax Credit. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) determined this would reduce outlays by $5.929 billion over five years.
E-Verify: "Nationwide e-verify."
Cost: $127 million per year ($635 million over five years)
Notes: In 2013, CBO reported that a mandatory E-Verify system would cost $635 million over five years.
Immigration Enforcement: "Mandatory return of all criminal aliens. … Illegal aliens apprehended crossing the border must be detained until they are sent home, no more catch-and-release."
Cost: $2.882 billion ($14.412 billion over five years)
Notes: In addition to expanding the number of ICE deportation officers, H.R. 2278 would also have provided State Criminal Alien Assistance Program grants to state and local governments to cover the costs related to incarcerating undocumented aliens convicted or charged with certain crimes. The bill would permit states and localities to seek reimbursement from the Department of Homeland Security for transportation costs relating to deportable aliens, which CBO determined would eventually cost $2.5 billion per year. CBO estimates the total amount of grants to states would cost $14.412 billion over five years.
Visa Tracking System: "Completion of a visa tracking system – required by law but blocked by lobbyists – will be necessary as well."
Cost: $40 million per year ($120 million over three years)
Notes: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 authorizes and directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to expand its Visa Security Program to each diplomatic and consular post at which visas are issued. A September 2014 report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General showed that only 20 of 225 such visa-issuing posts had review units, and no expansion requests were pending. The Fiscal Year 2012 budget included $4.4 million to be spent over two years to expand the program, but ICE has yet to complete the expansions.
H.R. 2278 (113th Congress) would provide $120 million over three years to expand the visa security program to designated overseas locations.
Immigration Reform: "End birthright citizenship."
Notes: It is likely that this policy, along with the increased border security proposals listed above, would reduce welfare-related expenditures, but an estimate is indeterminate.
In addition to these spending proposals, Trump's immigration plan includes various regulatory measures such as reducing the number of visas offered in any given year, increasing the "prevailing wage" for H-1B visas, requiring companies to hire more American workers, and "increas[ing] standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers". He would also increase penalties, which are generally recorded in the budget as revenues, on individuals who remain in the United States past the expiration of their visas.

Sorrows sing some strangely soothing songs.
To the hopeless which belongs.
But its steadily crawling to the other shore.
Raging waves will wash away the only painted cure.
Shall soon be over, the devil himself makes sure.
Run, take shelter, hide, before the drums of heaven roar.
Aching bones, shaking, cracking without a sound.
One by one and nerve by nerve fear gently takes control.
It's too late now you must wait, endure till that raging waves to roll.
The purple grass and yellow pond reflect the land above.
Music brings to your nose taste of fresh-baked sand.
The barking swans go by as there you smile and stand.

Over the past couple of weeks, somewhere between writing up my MSc dissertation, work, and enjoying the last bit of UK summer, I have been having fun working on a project that should be ready for all of you in the coming weeks. I was approached by an old friend asking for help with some kind of structure around meals, recipe inspiration, and finding freedom around food. Personally, I have also been struggling with finding structure and feeling prepared with groceries during such busy weeks. I have been loving some of the dinner ideas that Haley Goodrich has been sharing on her Instagram stories recently, and have been inspired to try my best to write up a rough plan for main meals before the start of the week so that I feel a bit less chaotic during the week.
The recipes included in each weekly guide will be seasonally appropriate and suitable for those living in the Northern and Southern hemispheres (there will be different options, so you can choose what's most appropriate for you), and will hopefully give you fresh, new inspiration in the kitchen. There will also be easy veggie-substitutions for any meat-based dishes. You will get a grocery list that you can take along to the shops with you, and you can decide what to prepare on what days of the week. Thank you to my lovely friend Frances of Lumina Creative Studio for doing such an amazing job of designing these guides.
If you would like to stay in the loop and find out more information when it becomes available, please do sign up to the mailing list below!
Meal Planning Guides become available.

Home Government Reps Murphy and Walorski introduce bipartisan bill to help teachers purchase PPE...
Reps Murphy and Walorski introduce bipartisan bill to help teachers purchase PPE and cleaning supplies to help reduce spread of COVID-19
Central Florida educators informed Murphy during a telelistening session that they were making these purchases with their own money and not being reimbursed for the cost
From the Office of U.S. Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, D-FL
U.S. Congresswomen Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., and Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., both Members of the Ways and Means Committee, today introduced bipartisan legislation to ensure that K-12 teachers can claim a federal tax deduction if they purchase air purifiers, cleaning supplies, and personal protective equipment like masks for their classrooms in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The bill, the Supporting Educators During COVID-19 Act, is a response to concerns expressed by Central Florida educators during a recent listening session that Murphy held. A number of teachers and school administrators told Murphy they were buying these products with their own money and not being reimbursed for the cost.
"No teacher in America should feel compelled to purchase air purifiers, cleaning products, and masks for their classrooms with their hard-earned money in order to keep their students and themselves safe. School districts should cover the cost of those purchases with help from the federal government," said Murphy. "This bipartisan bill will ensure that, at the very least, educators who buy these products will be able to claim a tax deduction for those purchases. I'll keep urging congressional leaders to enact another COVID relief bill that supports students, teachers, and schools."
"Safely reopening our schools is not only critical to rebuilding our economy, it's essential to the wellbeing and long-term success of America's families," Walorski said. "Keeping students and teachers safe in the classroom requires investments in PPE, cleaning supplies, and other items to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our nation's educators shouldn't be stuck with the bill, which is why I'm working across the aisle to provide tax relief to teachers who spend their own money to provide a healthy learning environment for our children."
"The Florida Department of Education has a program—Teacher Supply Card (FL 1012.71)—which provides approximately $300 to assist teachers to purchase items for their classroom—but there are many restrictions," said Dan Smith, President of the Seminole Education Association. "Among these restrictions, PPE, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes and cleaners, and many items that prevent the spread of COVID are not allowed to be purchased with the TSC—so our teachers have been purchasing these items out of their own pocket."
Under the federal tax code, there is a provision known as the "educator expense tax deduction." It allows an elementary or secondary school teacher to deduct up to $250 per tax year for the unreimbursed purchase of certain supplies and equipment. This deduction can be claimed by teachers regardless of whether they take the standard tax deduction or itemize their deductions.
In July, Murphy wrote a letter to the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, asking whether purchases of air purifiers, cleaning supplies, and personal protective equipment qualified for the deduction. Last month, the IRS responded that such purchases did not qualify for the deduction, based on the IRS's reading of the federal tax code. The Murphy-Walorski bill would require the IRS to issue regulations "to clarify that the educator expense tax deduction includes expenses for personal protective equipment and other supplies related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19."
U.S. Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy represents Florida's Seventh Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she serves on the influential House Ways and Means Committee. The district includes all of Seminole County and much of northern Orange County, including downtown Orlando, Maitland, Winter Park, and the University of Central Florida. Previously, Murphy was a businesswoman and college instructor who also served as a national security specialist in the Office of the Secretary of Defense where she received numerous awards, including the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Civilian Service. Murphy lives in Winter Park with her husband and two children.

Q: What is the RESTful and Rails way to add these actions to my controller I am adding tagging functionality to my app, via acts_as_taggable_on.
That gem doesn't add controllers, but I would like to. I am adding the tagging functionality to my Node model.
On my NodeController, I know I could simply add the explicit actions like this:
  def add_tagged_user

  end

  def remove_tagged_user

  end

  def tagged_users

  end

But that doesn't feel very restful or Railsy.
The corresponding route would look like this:
resources :nodes do
   match :add_tagged_user, via: [:post], on: :member
   match :remove_tagged_user, via: [:delete], on: :member
   match :tagged_users, via: [:get], on: :member
end

Is there a RESTful or a more Railsy way to do this?

A: You could go with a single TagsController, with routes that match the RESTful resource(s).
Something like
Routes
# routes.rb
resources :nodes do
  resources :tags, only: [:show, :create, :update]
end
resources :other_resources do
  resources :tags, only: [:show, :create, :update]
end

Controller
class TagsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :load_taggable

  def create
    @taggable.tags.create(tag_params)
  end

  private

  def load_taggable
    # switches on params
    @taggable = if params[:node_id]
      Node.find(params[:node_id]
    elsif # other things that are taggable
      # OtherThing.find(...)
    end
  end
end


A new gene therapy is being developed to treat the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome, while the fetus is still in the womb.
The treatment would deliver the gene therapy via a harmless virus injected directly into the fetal brain.
It would be a 'one-time treatment for a lifetime effect', Professor Mark Zylka from the University of North Carolina, the neurobiologist who led the work, told the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC. So far, tests in mice and in human cells in a dish have been promising, the team reports, leading to hopes of carrying out trials in humans.
As yet, there is no cure for Angelman syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental condition affecting one in 15,000 people. Children born with the condition have severe intellectual and physical disabilities, causing problems walking, sleeping and talking.
The syndrome is caused by a loss of function in the UBE3A gene. Ordinarily, the paternal copy of this gene is silenced – in a process known as imprinting – in neurons during embryonic development. If the maternal copy of the gene is absent or has a loss-of-function mutation, it prevents any expression of the UBE3A enzyme which plays a crucial role degrading proteins in the cellular waste-disposal system.
This unusual genetic scenario, however, offers novel therapeutic strategies. Professor Zylka's therapy uses CRISPR genome editing to switch the father's dormant copy of the gene back on.
Using genome editing, UBE3A was reactivated in key parts of the brain in mice, including the cortex, hippocampus, and the cerebellum. It was switched on to levels thought to be sufficient to ameliorate symptoms of Angelman syndrome. Experiments also established the therapy worked on cultured human brain cells. 'It really does raise the possibility that this gene therapy might be usable in humans,' Professor Zylka said.
The researchers suggest that gene therapy could be administered around the second trimester to have the best chances of treating the condition.
It is an approach that may pave the way for treating other neurodevelopmental disorders, the researchers say. 'For many of these neurodevelopmental disorders, where the brain has been developing inappropriately because of a gene mutation, the best time to intervene is probably going to be early, very early,' Professor Zykla concluded.
