Q: macOS, Tkinter, Python (Macports) gives error "no $DISPLAY environment variable" I'm getting a "no $DISPLAY environment variable" with Python on macOS. That's MacPorts python 3.7, not the native python. I want to use MacPorts python with virtual environments so I can keep my projects clean. I also have to use MacPorts not Homebrew.
I've unsuccessfully tried setting the $DISPLAY value to :0.0 and the following link doesn't help because I'm not using matplotlib and I'm running on a machine with a display Issue with tkinter, python and seaborn: _tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
I understand from here [https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/#built-in-8-6-8] that using X11 is no longer the recommended path, rather using Aqua Cocoa Tk is.
The question: What's the trick to getting this environment variable set correctly?
My stack is:
macOS Mojave
Macports with the following relevant ports installed:

*

*py37-tkinter @3.7.4 python/py-tkinter

*py37-virtualenv @16.7.2 python/py-virtualenv

*python37 @3.7.4 lang/python37

*tcl @8.6.9 lang/tcl

*tk @8.6.9 x11/tk

*virtualenv_select @0.1 python/virtualenv_select

when I run
import tkinter as tk
tk._test()

I get
_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

A: Fairly recent versions of macOS don't have an Xserver by default, so you'll need to install one as well. XQuartz works enough as far as I'm aware (i.e., I'm using it).
The other option is to use a build of Tk that's using the Aqua back end instead of the X11 back end.

A: I had the same issue, down to the wire. Could not get tkinter to behave properly with any sort of graphical interfaces, wanted to be consistent in using MacPorts for my Python files, and I am not currently using matplotlib for anything.
Running macOS 10.15.5, I found that the problem seemed to be that my tk port and my xorg-server ports weren't communicating with one another politely. I had installed the former as a dependency; as a result, the former installation defaulted to the x11 variant (as is the case with OP's port).
I'm not sure about  how to make the Aqua Cocoa version work, but reinstalling tk and specifying the quartz variant solved the problem for me:
sudo port install tk +quartz

If this works for you, your call to to tk._test() ought to stop returning your given TclError.
Hopefully.

Kidambi Srikanth Set To Create History, Will Become First Indian Male Player To Be Ranked World No. 1 In Badminton
23.7 K Shares
M RatnakarUpdated on Apr 10, 2018, 08:28 IST
Come April 12, Kidambi Srikanth will become the No. 1 player in the world. The 25-year-old, who had missed a chance to scale the peak last year because of injury, will be the new No. 1 when the Badminton World Federation (BWF) releases its weekly rankings.
Srikanth, who was named Times of India Sports Award (TOISA) Sportsperson of the Year in February, is set to join the elite band two years after Saina Nehwal became the first Indian girl to become world No. 1. In March 2015, Saina had scaled the summit and remains the only Indian girl to achieve this feat thus far.
The shuttler will be the first Indian man to achieve this fabulous feat in modern ranking era. Prior to the computerised ranking system, Prakash Padukone was regarded as world No.1 after he won three top tournaments in 1980.
He played a crucial role in helping India win gold at the Commonwealth Games on April 9 and will move to the top of the rankings with 76,895 points.
Reigning world No.1 and world champion Viktor Axelsen, who has 77130 points, will lose 1660 points and slip down the ladder. The Danish shuttler will lose points because he will be unable to defend what he had won at the Malaysian Open last year.
The Malaysian Open was held from April 4 to 9 last year but this year, it is scheduled for a later date. Badminton rankings are calculated for a period of 52 weeks. In this period, rankings points from the 10 best tournaments are taken into consideration.
Md Maqdoom Ahmed, a badminton analyst for the Sports Authority of India (SAI) said: "We've been anxiously waiting for this moment. He should have become No. 1 last year but injury prevented him from playing the year-end tournaments. Had he reached quarterfinals in a couple of those tournaments he could have become No. 1. Though Srikanth won't gain any points, Axelsen losing 1660 points will be good enough for the Indian," Maqdoom told TOI.
The man won four Super Series titles - Indonesia, Australia, Denmark, France - in 2017 to become the fourth shuttler in the world to achieve this feat. He had secured the No.2 ranking on November 2, 2017.
His father KVS Krishna said that they are waiting for the big moment. "We know he will become No.1 in a week or two. It's definitely a proud moment for all of us," Krishna said.

Unable to shut up about the glories of uncontrolled mass immigration, the Open Borders lobby ever since Sept. 11 has periodically tried to tell us that the 19 foreign terrorists who entered the United States legally weren't really immigrants. Therefore, you see, mass immigration is OK. Like everything else the Open Borders crackpots claim, this is wrong.
But that still doesn't mean they'll shut up. In a recent letter to National Review, Open Borders zealot Daniel Griswold of the Cato Institute, the Taj Mahal of the Open Borders cult, insisted that none of the 19 terrorists of Sept. 11 was an immigrant.
I guess we're supposed to feel a lot better.
He's correct in only the most technical and legalistic sense. In the first place, a good number (as many as 40 percent, the INS has estimated) of all the illegal immigrants currently here entered the country legally—and just never went home after their visas expired. Since neither most of them nor the 19 killers of Sept. 11 ever intended to go back to the old sod, it requires just a wee bit of snake oil to claim with a straight face that they're not really immigrants—foreigners who come here with the intent to stay.
In the second place, the Open Borders lie has now been put to what should be its final rest by a comprehensive report issued last week by the Center for Immigration Studies. Based in Washington, the Center and its authoritative reports on various aspects of immigration are far more patient than I am with the fools, frauds and outright traitors of the Open Borders mafia, but its patience pays off with facts and statistics that raise some hard questions about our immigration policies.
At the time they committed their acts of terrorism, the report found, 16 of the 48 terrorists were here on temporary visas (mainly as tourists), 12 were illegal aliens and 17 were Lawful Permanent Residents or had actually been naturalized as U.S. citizens. Even if you don't count the Sept. 11 19 as "immigrants," there are plenty who are immigrants in every sense of the word who have perpetrated terrorism. The point is that mass immigration makes it easier for terrorists to get into the country and carry out their attacks.
That ought to be obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense, but it quite sails over the heads of the Open Borders nuts.
Not only does anyone with any common sense grasp that mass immigration and the lax border security it encourages allow terrorists to enter the country easily, but so does a gentleman not usually accused of having much common sense: Osama bin Laden. The CIS report cites a story from the San Francisco Chronicle (Nov. 21, 2001) about the confession of yet another terrorist immigrant, naturalized citizen Khalid Abu al Dahab, who helped bomb U.S. embassies in Africa.
Probably Bin Laden, like many foreigners, doesn't quite grasp how easy it is for aliens to sneak into this country illegally.
But no matter how easy it is, it's even better if the terrorists are already here, and better still if they're legal U.S. citizens.
With the help of the Open Borders lobby over the last 30 years, that's exactly what's occurred.
When Vice President Cheney tells us "The prospects of a future attack on the United States are almost certain. Not a matter of if, but when"; when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says almost the same thing, and FBI Director Robert Mueller says suicide bombings in the United States are "inevitable," the terrorists they're talking about are probably the very kind of people that Osama bin Laden was so eager to recruit in the last decade—the very same kind of people that the Open Borders lobby for decades has told us will make such great Americans.

Obsidian rock is a natural volcanic glass.
It is an extrusive igneous rock, which formed at so rapid cooling of viscous, felsic lava that mineral crystals didn't manage to form.
Its main component is glass, and most often, no minerals are present.
Occasionally, though, rare quartz and feldspar phenocrysts can be found.
Those have formed underground, before the lava had erupted and obsidian was formed. It also contains tiny amounts of water.
In fact, like with pegmatite and porphyry, the term "obsidian" only refers to its glassy texture.
Theoretically, a rock with any composition can be it. In practice, though, it most often has the composition similar to rhyolite.
Like rhyolite, it can have a flow-banding texture, and it has got a sharp, concoidal fracture.
This is why it has been used to make cutting tools since ancient times.
It is most often black, but can occasionally be reddish or have a white snowflake pattern.

Two Years Ago This Brazilian Expert on the Far Right Predicted Their Insurrection
"It was inevitable."
Supporters of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, stand on the roof of the National Congress.Eraldo Peres/AP
Two years and two days after the invasion of the US Capitol by pro-Trump insurrectionists, much of the world appeared to be astonished as an angry mob stormed Brazil's seat of power, calling for a military intervention and attacking the congressional building, the presidential offices, and the Supreme Court. David Nemer, a Brazil-born assistant professor at the University of Virginia's Department of Media Studies, monitors far-right channels on social media, and, for him, the mob's violence was a tragedy foretold. In an interview on January 8, 2021, for the Brazilian nonprofit investigative publication Agência Pública, Nemer predicted a January 6-like event was bound to happen in Brazil. "If [Jair] Bolsonaro loses the [next] elections they won't accept it," he said of the defeated former president's supporters, "and the same thing will happen."
Exactly two years later, Nemer was proved to be right, but for those paying attention, it wasn't hard to see it coming. As I wrote last week, the anti-democratic coordinated effort on January 8 has been long in the making, and plans for the invasion itself were openly discussed online. More than 1,300 people have been arrested in connection with the attack. They could be facing charges that include "trying, by using violence or serious threat, to abolish the Democratic State of Law, preventing or restricting the exercise of constitutional powers" and the "attempt to depose, by means of violence or grave threat, the legitimately constituted government." As the country grapples with the aftermath of the insurrection, Mother Jones spoke with Nemer about the warning signs that made it so predictable, and what Brazil can learn from the United States.
You were in the US on January 6, when the invasion of the Capitol happened. What was it like to see something similar happen in your home country?
I wasn't totally surprised. I've been monitoring the far right on social media—Twitter, WhatsApp, and Telegram—both in Brazil and the United States. We know there is a connection between the Brazilian far right and Trumpism. On December 19, Trump summoned his supporters to go to Washington, DC, on January 6 saying there were going to be "wild" protests. And then later we saw the domain "wild protest" registered and several accounts start to call on extremists to go to DC. So, I was already anticipating something, not necessarily like the invasion of the Capitol, but some violent act. I was thinking of going to DC to monitor because several leaders of the Brazilian far right were there on January 6, for example, [President Bolsonaro's son] Eduardo Bolsonaro, and [far-right blogger] Allan dos Santos. On the way there, when I saw things were getting out of control, I decided not to go for obvious reasons.
"From the ascension of Trump and Bolsonaro to how they handled the pandemic, Trump's fall then Bolsonaro's fall, the way they questioned the electoral system, the insurgencies—all very predictable."
What took place in Brazil [on January 8] was a cheap replica. Right after January 6, the Shaman became very symbolic, and soon after in Brazil during an antidemocratic demonstration [on September 7, 2021] there was a Brazilian version of the Shaman. Everything that happened in the United States, happened in Brazil two years later; it was inevitable. From the ascension of Trump and Bolsonaro to how they handled the pandemic, Trump's fall then Bolsonaro's fall, the way they questioned the electoral system, the insurgencies—all very predictable. I was seeing it all unfold and planned on WhatsApp and Telegram groups. It was all out in the open, no one was hiding anything. I gave an interview to Agência Pública following the US insurgency saying two years from now you can be sure this will happen in Brazil. When I said I knew this was going to happen, it wasn't based on a gut feeling. It was because I was seeing it being orchestrated from inside these groups calling for something similar to January 6.
Your prediction proved eerily accurate. What were the warning signs in Brazil and how did the movement grow from the trucker protests on Independence Day in 2021 to the thousands of people we saw storming Brasília?
We had these extremists camped outside the Army headquarters asking for military intervention all the time. The whole time these people were open to this kind of terrorist attack. On Telegram groups, for instance, they circulated messages like "if you're in the state X, contact this person, here is their number." Each state had at least three points of contact as well as information on the best bus routes to get to Brasília. Everything was done with lots of accessibility so that those people could go. The calls to action were very intense in these groups.
Did you find any direct references to the United States and the Capitol invasion?
There were not that many mentions of the United States or something that showed a direct motivation. As we know, the American insurgency failed, it didn't work. Because it was considered a defeat, I believe that discouraged the Brazilian insurrectionists from creating a connection and saying "let's do like in the United States"—where the FBI went after everyone. But it was definitely influenced by the US experience, including by the date. In Brazil, it didn't take place on January 6 because that was a Friday and there would be more police officers and movement on the streets unlike on Sunday, which would make the invasion easier. We can't know for sure, but it certainly is a symbolic date for what happened in the United States. There is a lot of interest in knowing whether there was help from Steve Bannon or Jason Miller and who is behind it. So far, I can't see any direct connection in terms of coordination. But it is undeniable that Bolsonaro and the "Bolsonarism" movement have been following Bannon's playbook.
Even leaders of the global far right have criticized the attacks in Brasília. Do you see the "Bolsonarism" movement running out of steam after what happened?
There is an intense desire to create this type of global movement. We see that through CPAC, which has gone international and was taken to Brazil by the Bolsonaros. These attacks might not be seen as successes but as evidence of the growth and continuation of a movement. That's how they look at it. The pawns who were there on the frontlines might have believed they were going to retake power, but the people behind this know the idea is to bring this sentiment to the surface and motivate other groups to carry out the same acts in different places. Their goal is to feed the conservative movement and promote an anti-progressive agenda. There is an idea that other countries where the far right is well rooted—India, Poland, Hungary—might go on to stage this type of theater. The Bannon playbook lays out the course of action very clearly. Unfortunately, Brazil is a major laboratory for the global far right. Usually, every time a more extremist event takes place, support for "Bolsonarism" dwindles, but it becomes more radical to the point of doing what they did [on January 8].
You monitor more than 100 pro-Bolsonaro groups on social media platforms. What are you seeing now in the aftermath of the attack?
The discourse isn't unified. Some groups saw what happened as a victory and fuel to keep trying to retake power. Others tried to distance themselves from it saying they were only there to protest peacefully and that the violence was perpetrated by infiltrators from the left. That was a very similar strategy to January 6 when they said Antifa was behind it.
US and Brazilian lawmakers have issued a joint statement condemning the attacks and there are reports of a potential collaboration to investigate the Brasília attack. What can authorities in Brazil learn from the post-January 6 reckoning?
Talks are already taking place to set up a congressional investigation to examine these terrorist attacks. The more transparent and accessible to the public the better. There is a pedagogical power to every judgment so that it won't happen again. In the United States, many people wanted an immediate answer to those involved on January 6, and the FBI took their time to go after everybody—and little by little they did. They didn't engage too much with this immediate craving for justice but they were efficient in bringing everyone to a trial, including the Proud Boys for charges of seditious conspiracy. I think that's the biggest lesson. There is popular fervor but it is important to be patient and take the time to get to the brains behind it.
This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
A Law Signed by Bolsonaro Paved the Way for Authorities to Prosecute His Insurrectionists
Brazil Just Had Its January 6. It Wasn't Hard to See It Coming.

MICHIGAN HOUSE REPUBLICANS | House bills protect Michigan taxpayers by prohibiting tax credit extensions
Reps. Glenn, Chatfield ensure state can't extend costly MEGA credits
Michigan taxpayers are protected from additional financial liability due to budget-busting Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) tax credits under common-sense legislation introduced today that prohibits the state from extending the costly credits, state Reps. Gary Glenn and Lee Chatfield announced.
Since the MEGA credits were greatly expanded in 2008, the program has accumulated a projected taxpayer liability of $9.38 billion. The Republican-led Legislature and newly elected Gov. Rick Snyder ended MEGA in 2011, but even with the irresponsible program's demise, state law still allows the existing credits to be increased and extended. Legislation introduced today by state Reps. Glenn and Chatfield prevents this from happening.
"No governor should be allowed to extend or increase these tax credits, not next year and not 15 years from now," said Rep. Chatfield, R-Levering. "Although the current governor has no intention of extending these harmful tax credits, the reality is that a less fiscally responsible administration could come into office and put our state in greater financial jeopardy. We simply can't allow that to happen – the stakes are too high. It's up to us to make sure the mess created during the Lost Decade is cleaned up not only for current Michigan taxpayers, but for future generations."
The $9.38 billion estimated liability is projected to be incurred over the next 17 years. This year, the credits created a $325 million state budget shortfall.
Rep. Glenn, R-Midland, said major employers who took advantage of the offer of tax credits in return for creating new jobs or retaining existing jobs are not to blame.
"The fact that the tax credits are being claimed by employers who upheld their contractual obligation to create or retain jobs is, on the one hand, good news for our economy and working families. Those employers aren't at fault; they did what they agreed to do," Rep. Glenn said. "The question is, was it a good policy in the first place, and certainly we must change the lack of transparency from the Department of Treasury about the supposedly unpredictable timing of the existing credits' impact on our state budget, plus take steps now to ensure that taxpayers' current $9 billion financial liability, and the length of that liability, is not increased even further.
"It's important to do what we can to protect Michigan taxpayers now. It's well past time for us to put a stop to the state's ability to hand out blank checks and put future generations on the hook for billions of dollars. These important reforms will give us all a clearer picture about how to deal with and eliminate these looming financial obligations."
House Bill 4333, sponsored by Rep. Chatfield, prohibits MEGA tax credit extensions as currently allowed in the Michigan Economic Growth Authority Act. HB 4334, sponsored by Rep. Glenn, prohibits MEGA tax credit extensions as currently allowed in the Michigan Business Tax Act.

SOCOPA has been a delivery partner of Barnardo's See Hear and respond programme. We worked under the Therapeutic strand under this programme. Here we provided children and families with therapeutic support where we spoke with them regularly over the phone and in person at our office.
The purpose of this therapeutic support was to create a space for children and parents to speak about any of their concerns they may have, where we would then explore possible solutions to these problems.
For Families that needed that extra support were able to apply for the crisis fund, here we were able to give practical support such as giving laptops, fridges, washing machines, winter clothing and more. We helped over 10 children and over 5 families who needed practical support to get them through the tough quarantine period. Children are now able to keep up with their school and homework feel more connected to their family and friends. As SOCOPA we have created good relationships with these families as we still support them after this programme had finished.
MH Barnardos Feedback:
I received support with language barrier as we speak the language. I felt welcomed and also felt that they listened attentively to my worries about my housing situation. They gave me support and gave information to help my family and myself. I am glad about the service SOCOPA have provided for us and are thankful.
FG Barnardos Feedback:
I was looking for a very long time for someone to help with filling out forms. I did not know who could help me before and was asking around, it was very difficult for me as there was no one to translate. I am very glad that I received help from you to fill out my forms and help with my housing problem. SOCOPA was recommended to me by other women in the community and so came to get help from you which I have and very satisfied with the service provided.
Sphere Science
Since January this year, our students from SOCOPA have been presenting space science activities to families in our local community. These family activities, although being delivered online, have been a great help in getting families to have something fun and interactive during the lockdown period. Families were able to destress and have an enjoyable time while learning something new about space. Over the course of these sessions' students have shown families how to make rocket mice, spinners, jumping beans, planispheres – only to name a few- as well as having explained the science behind them.
Our students also presented historic and modern-day scientific research about the aurora and the sun along with a special planetarium session on constellations.
The combination of hard work from Sarah Langford from Sphere Science, Dr Helen Mason from the University of Cambridge, Dr Jennifer Carter from the University of Leicester and our Students and staff from SOCOPA had made the Space science celebration a complete success and was recognised by the Mayor of Leicester, Sir Peter Soulsby, who graciously gave our students their certificates.
We also received appraisals from the people we were working with on this project.
In partnership with Leicestershire cares, we have had the opportunity to set up a food bank at out local office for anyone in the community to drop in and take some of the foods we have. This has been a great help to many families in the local community, particularly in this period of coming out of the lock and quarantine period where some are left unemployed or with low income and unable to have the basic food necessities. The foods donated include a range of dry foods nutritionally balanced and non- perishable which provides people with
Having a running food bank has given hope to the people in need and in turn give social cohesion amongst us all. Through this food bank we have also supported sustainable food and environment by reducing waste and giving unused foods to those who really need it.

Scientists take big step towards universal flu vaccine
submited by kickingbird at Sep, 23, 2013 19:10 PM from BBC News
Scientists say they have made a significant leap towards creating a vaccine that would protect against every form of flu.
The influenza virus is a constantly shifting target so seasonal flu vaccines rapidly become useless and new ones are needed each year.
A team at Imperial College London say they have made a "blueprint" for a universal flu vaccine.
Their discovery is published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Influenza is able to change the proteins that protrude from the surface of the virus as readily as people change outfits.
However, the material on the inside is common to many strains of flu. Vaccine researchers believe targeting the core of the virus may be the way to develop a universal vaccine.
"Start Quote
We have the know-how, we know what needs to be in the vaccine and we can just get on and do it"
End Quote Prof Ajit Lalvani Imperial College London
A specific part of the immune system, called T-cells, is thought to be able to recognise proteins in the core. A team at Imperial used the 2009 swine flu pandemic to test the theory.
Milder symptoms
Swine flu was a new virus from a mix of bird and pig flu.
The outer shell should have been a completely new experience to the immune system, but the core may have been encountered before in other flu viruses.
The team compared levels of one kind of T-cells at the start of the pandemic with symptoms of flu in 342 staff and students at the university.
They showed that the higher the levels of the T-cells a patient had, the milder their symptoms were.
Researchers then teased out the specific part of the immune system that offered some pandemic flu protection and which part of the virus it was attacking.
Prof Ajit Lalvani, who led the study, told the BBC: "It´s a blueprint for a vaccine. We know the exact subgroup of the immune system and we´ve identified the key fragments in the internal core of the virus. These should be included in a vaccine.
"In truth, in this case it is about five years [away from a vaccine]. We have the know-how, we know what needs to be in the vaccine and we can just get on and do it."
´Long journey´
This would be a distinct approach compared with other forms of vaccination, such as the MMR jab. These trigger the immune system to produce antibodies that can attack an invader.
The prize could be huge. Seasonal flu kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people each year and new pandemics have the potential to take doctors by surprise and kill large numbers of people.
Yet the researchers admit it is "generally harder" to develop a T-cell vaccine than provoke an antibody response. The challenge will be to get a big enough T-cell response to offer protection and a response that will last.
Prof John Oxford, of Queen Mary University of London, said: "This sort of effect can´t be that powerful or we´d never have pandemics. It´s not going to solve all the problems of influenza, but could add to the range of vaccines.
"It´s going to be a long journey from this sort of paper to translating it into a vaccine that works."
Prof Sarah Gilbert, who is developing a universal flu vaccine at the
Jenner Institute in Oxford, said: "Live attenuated influenza vaccines which are given by nasal spray and will be used in children in the UK from this autumn are much better at increasing the number of influenza-specific T cells, but these vaccines only work in young children who haven´t yet had much exposure to influenza virus, so we need an alternative approach for adults.
"The new publication contains information on the precise characteristics of the influenza-specific T cells which were protective, and this information will be useful in monitoring the immune response to vaccination when testing novel influenza vaccines which are designed to provide protection against pandemic as well as seasonal influenza viruses."

Click to move. Drag to rotate.
Drag and Drop the flower to plant it and watch it grow.
Click on a flower to harvest the color. Click on the Update Generation to clear the field.
Interesting idea. Loved the music!
Is not a game itself, but it is an interesting idea. I like the graphics and music.
Yeah, unfortunately I wasn't able to get the last mechanic in there that would have created gameplay. The idea was to have the next generation of flowers mutate and use the collected flowers colors. I will be working on a post compo version for sure.
Unfinished, which is a shame, I could see where you were going. What you did manage to get done has a very nice feel/mood to it, except for the camera controls. If you do a post-compo version, please change the camera, it's not at all fun to use and it detracts from the gameplay. Graphics are great.
The controls are a bit hard to get used to, but the general idea is interesting.
Then I'll wait for the fixed version in post compo.
Interesting, wish you had more time to finish it.
@goffmog & @deepnight: The controls were frustrating me also. I changed the controls to use 'wasd' to move the camera around, this improved it so much for the better. What are the rules for linking to post-compo builds? Make a new post on the main page?
Thank you to everyone so far who has rated and given feedback.
But it didn't make any sense to me so I quickly got bored.
I liked the music and the graphics, but like others have said, it's not really a game, and the camera can be irritating when planting flowers.
Interesting concept. I don't have any idea what I'm doing, but it has great graphics and sound. The controls could use a little work (WASD works fine!) and it's satisfying to collect the little flowers after they grow. You should probably make it a little clearer what's going on... unless that's the point of the game and I'm just dumb.
like some others said, not really a game. Its lacking of challenges.
Also the controls are choosen a little unfortunatly.
WASD-Key or Arrow-Key would be better i think.
I have updated the links to include a Post-compo version. Still needs more polish, but shows the direction that I'm moving toward. The controls have been replaced with keyboard movement(WASD or arrows). The tips in game should give you everything else you need to get playing.
I really like the idea here. It could be a really nice, relaxing game focused on the mood and the prettiness more than stressful gaming, which is great. This is nice work for 72 hours!
Samurais are growing flowers in this it seems. I don't know what is the next generation is for, the flowers are fully randomly colored it seems and has nothing to do with the selelected one. Yes, selected because if it's harvested then it shouldn't stay there imho. Controls are awkward and you move whenever you harvest or click the next gen but I didn't tried the post-compo so I don't know if it is fixed... Nice idea though!

Synergy Property Development Services
Blackstone Group
Blackstone real estate arm sells stake in Synergy
Blackstone, which was also on the board of Synergy, had invested Rs 56 crore in the company for a minority stake in 2008.Sobia Khan | ET Bureau | November 16, 2015, 07:59 IST
BENGALURU: Blackstone Real Estate Partners, an affiliate of New York-based private equity firm The Blackstone Group LP, has exited its investment in Bengaluru-based real estate project management consultancy Synergy Property Development Services.
"After seven years, there is a closure of fund and, hence, bought 50% of the 35% stake Blackstone hold," said Sankey Prasad, chairman and managing director at Synergy Property Development Services. "First tranche payment also completed at the personal level." He did not disclose the size of the transaction.
Blackstone, which was also on the board of Synergy, had invested Rs 56 crore in the company for a minority stake in 2008. This was the PE firm's first real real estate investment in the country. Synergy Property Development Services is valued at Rs 520 crore.
"Post the acquisition, the company promoter will hold 82% stake in the firm. If Blackstone wants to further off load their stake, we do not mind looking at it," said Prasad.
The world's largest real estate PE firm has been acquiring rental yield properties across major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Pune. It had also entered into a joint venture with Panchshil Developers in Pune and Embassy Group in Bengaluru to buy commercial assets. Since late 2009, Blackstone's real estate funds have invested $1.1 billion in the Indian real estate sector.
"Synergy has and continues to be a valuable partner for us in our real estate platform in the country," said Tuhin Parikh, senior managing director-real estate at Blackstone. "During the course of our investment, Synergy has delivered 62 million square feet across marquee projects and has seen operations grow from three countries to across 10 countries."
Most of the funds that invested in the Indian real estate sector in 2007-08 are exiting their investments. However, much of the exits have come by way of refinancing by builders, as providing exits from cash flows is still not possible due to slow home sales.
According to Venture Intelligence, PE funds and non-banking finance companies have secured exits worth $633 million in the first nine months of 2015 as against $84 million in the year-ago period.
Synergy is in project management consultancy business across industries like commercial, highend residential projects, hospitality, industrial parks and health care in India and globally. The company has delivered 100 million sq ft in the last 13 years and has 150 million sq ft under management. It employs over 900 professional globally and operates across India, West Asia and the Far East.

Elder Rasband tells BYU audience to make temple worship a pattern of life
By Scott Taylor
Click here for a complete text of Elder Rasband's remarks.
PROVO, UTAH
Speaking of the Church's two newest temples in Utah, Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Presidency of the Seventy asked his BYU devotional audience on Feb. 10 to consider how the focus and emphasis on temple building applies to them.
"I would recommend to you today that temple worship is an important pattern for each of you to set, individually and as families, as you consider your own areas of focus and attention, as you put in place firm foundations in your life," said Elder Rasband.
As a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, Elder Rasband supervises the Church's Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City and Utah South areas and is closely involved with this year's cultural events, open houses and dedications of the Draper Utah and Oquirrh Mountain Utah temples.

The Draper Utah Temple -- the 12th temple in Utah and the Church's 129th overall -- is in the middle of its eight-week open house, with more than 1 million tickets having been requested and distributed to date prior to its March 20-22 dedication.
Elder Rasband spoke of guiding media representatives, interfaith groups and government officials during the open house.
"As I have taken guests through the spacious baptistry, beautiful ordinance rooms, the holy celestial room and sacred sealing rooms, I can tell you without any reservation the Spirit of the Lord is already in this temple and leaves a deep and wonderful impression on all who visit," he said.
He encouraged listeners to visit the Draper Utah Temple during its open house as well as the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple during its eight-week open house beginning June 1, before its Aug. 14-16 dedication.

Elder Rasband quoted latter-day prophets Brigham Young, Ezra Taft Benson and Gordon B. Hinckley on the prophecies and need of spreading temples across the globe. In President Hinckley's tenure of nearly 13 years as president of the Church, 77 temples were built and dedicated.
Underscoring the importance of temple and family history work, Elder Rasband read from Malachi 4:5-6, Doctrine and Covenants 2:1-3 and Doctrine and Covenants 110:13-16 -- which speak of Malachi's promise in 400 B.C. of the coming of Elijah to "turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers," of Moroni's visits to Joseph Smith echoing the same promise and of the recorded visit of Elijah to Joseph Smith at the Kirtland Temple to provide the priesthood keys and to fulfill the promise of nearly 2,200 years previous.
"Since that remarkable day in 1836, through a continuation of the priesthood authority given to the Prophet Joseph, that power has been on the earth through prophets, seers and revelators of the Church," Elder Rasband said. "We are so privileged to have President Thomas S. Monson as our prophet today. He holds that same priesthood authority which was given by Elijah, to the Prophet Joseph, in 1836. This is known as the sealing authority of God, by which we perform the sacred work in the temples today."
Re-emphasizing the importance of establishing righteous patterns, Elder Rasband reiterated admonition from Church leaders to receive temple endowments and to attend the temple regularly.
He also cited promises of blessings from President Hinckley, President James E. Faust and President Monson for those who frequent the temple. Those blessings include less contention and selfishness and a greater measure of spirituality, love, obedience, righteous confidence and sanctification.
Elder Rasband also spoke on how temple worship helps provide an "assurance of protection and peace from the storm that is upon us in our day," citing the latter-day storm cited in Alma 26:6.
"I bear my testimony, brothers and sisters, that one of the safest places that Heavenly Father has established for the gathering of His people is in the temples of the Lord," he added, inviting listeners "to make temple worship a pattern in your life" and claim the blessings and protections as promised by latter-day prophets.

Why Global Citizens Should Care
The United Nations urges countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the threat of climate change. Young people have become passionate leaders in this global movement. You can join us in taking action on related issues here.
For the world's youth, the science of climate change is crystal clear.
If greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase in the years ahead, then coastlines will become submerged by rising sea levels, storms will become more severe, and deadly droughts, forest fires, and heat waves will become more common.
In other words, young people could face an increasingly uncertain and hostile future. And that's not something they're willing to let happen.
In recent years, a massive, global youth movement has emerged to call for immediate climate action, perform civil disobedience, and raise awareness of the environmental challenges that lie ahead.
Young people have shut down intersections with climate action banners, put world leaders in the hot seat for failing to put forth meaningful climate legislations, and inspired a new worldview that prioritizes climate justice for the most vulnerable populations.
Three youth leaders who have been instrumental in this movement took to the 2019 Global Citizen Festival stage in New York's Central Park on Sept. 28 to continue driving forward the call for climate action.
Image: Global Citizen/Ethan Judelson
Introduced to the stage by Leonardo DiCaprio, the three activists — Alexandria Villaseñor, Xiye Bastida, and Selina Neirok Leem — spoke eloquently in front of tens of thousands of assembled Global Citizens about the stakes of climate change, and left the audience hopeful that a new status quo is possible.
Here are their stories.
Alexandria Villaseñor
The United Nations urges countries to cut current carbon emissions in half by 2030 to avoid the worst consequences of climate change.
By that year, Alexandria Villaseñor will be 25.
The 14-year-old activist first became interested in the climate movement after visiting family in California during the devastating wildfires of 2018, which temporarily led to the worst air pollution in the world. Her family had to put pillows at the bottom of doors and windows to prevent smog from seeping in.
When she returned to her home in New York, she learned about the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg's solitary Fridays for Future protests.
She soon began skipping school on Fridays too, to protest outside the United Nations headquarters.
"Greta's mission sparked a global movement of student protests all over the world, including the strike I started at the UN here in New York City," Villaseñor told the Global Citizen Festival audience.
"What began as a small act of resistance has now exploded into an all out climate revolution," she added.
Since then, Villaseñor has founder her own environmental organization Earth Uprising that helped organize the New York climate strikes in March and September.
Recently, Villaseñor joined 15 other youth activists to file an official complaint to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to demand government action on the climate crisis, essentially suing countries for failing to protect their rights.
"Each one of us had our rights violated and denied," she said when announcing the complaint. "Our futures are being destroyed."
"I'm here because 30 years ago the world signed a contract between generations that the present world would leave a world worth inheriting to the future," she added. "And today I want to tell the world, 'You are defaulting on that contract. And we're here to collect."
Xiye Bastida
Climate activism is in Xiye Bastida's DNA — her parents met at a climate change conference in 1992.
The 17-year-old activist moved to New York four years ago from San Pedro Tultepec in Lerma, Mexico, which regularly experiences heavy rainfall and drought — precursors to the increasingly severe climate events unfolding around the world.
"In Lerma, the rainfall of 2015 flooded my town, new factories contaminated the air, and buildings were sinking into wetlands," Bastida recently said in a press statement. "Economic instability, and air pollution were the things that pushed my family out of my home."
In New York, Bastida quickly got involved in local climate change groups. She joined the Sunrise Movement and Extinction Rebellion, and traveled to Albany to speak with government officials.
"When moving to New York, I realized that the climate catastrophe follows you," she added in the press statement. "It is the one issue that affects everyone, everywhere, but it's affecting marginalized communities the most. This crisis is our present, but we cannot let it be our future. That's why youth across the globe are uniting against corporate power, against climate racism, and against the deterioration of mother earth."
Like Villaseñor, Bastida was inspired by Thunberg, and joined New York's Fridays for Future protests earlier this year. She's since spoken in front of the United Nations, helped lead the climate strikes in New York, and become a champion for indigenous rights.
"The world leaders must see now that this is not just a few school students," she told the Global Citizen Festival crowd, referencing this month's continued global climate strikes. "It is millions of people from every generation all over the world, coming together to demand climate action now."
"We are going to keep striking," she continued. "We're going to keep marching. Change is coming whether the establishment is ready for it or not. Together, we can build a 100% renewable world."
Selina Neirok Leem
The Marshall Islands are on the frontlines of climate change. Sea level rise and worsening storms cut could cause the country to disappear in the decades ahead. Already, quality of life is declining as salt water intrudes upon fresh water sources and extreme storms batter homes.
Selina Neirok Leem grew up amid this crisis and it informed her worldview.
In recent years, she's become a forceful and eloquent advocate for people threatened by climate change. She argues for a holistic understanding of climate action that recognizes how disparate issues are often intertwined. Effective climate action, Leem believes, has to promote women's rights, reduce inequality, and expand access to health care, among many other things.
Leem has taken her message to international forums around the world. In 2015, she was the youngest delegate at the signing of the Paris climate agreement.
She also dedicates her time to helping people understand and adapt to the climate crisis in the Marshall Islands.
At the Global Citizen Festival, Leema told the audience that climate action is inevitable despite the current political gridlock around the issue.
"We are demanding that leaders enact policies that will limit global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, in line with the IPCC report on climate change that was released last October," she said on stage. "My island home in the Marshall Islands is already experiencing the effects of sea level rise, and could be uninhabitable by the time I'm 50 years old."
"Our leaders must do more," she said. "We demand that you do your part now."
The 2019 Global Citizen Festival in New York will be presented by Citi and Cisco and in association with our Production Partner, Live Nation. MSNBC, Comcast NBCUniversal, and iHeart will serve as Presenting Media Partners and will air a live simulcast of the Festival on MSNBC and on iHeart Radio Stations.

Q: Помогите понять стили фреймов в Pyqt6 В Pyqt5 достигнуть результата можно было применением метода setFrameShadow. К примеру:
label.setFrameShadow(QFrame.StyledPanel | QFrame.Raised)

В PyQt6 этого будет недостаточного. После QFrame должен стоять ещё один метод. Например Shadow:
setFrameShadow(QFrame.Shadow.Raised)

Причём StyledPanel / WinPanel и прочие варианты отображения тени не примет, только направление. Хотя официальная документация Pyqt6 говорит что задавать стиль отображения фрейма можно теми же методами что и в Pyqt5.
После установки setLineWidth и setMidLineWidth появилась рамка фрейма, но этого не достаточно чтобы достичь того эффекта который мне бы был нужен.
label.setLineWidth(3)
label.setMidLineWidth(3)
label.setFrameShadow(QFrame.Shadow.Sunken)

К примеру метод setFrameStyle(QFrame.Panel) не устанавливает тип эффекта, потому что по какой то причине, метод принимает тип integer, в разногласие в документацией PyQt6. Поэтому прописав в аргументы, к примеру число 3, программа мне рисует сплошную рамку и уже не выдаёт исключение.
Перебор значений в параметрах, что то меняет на фрейме и сравнивая с таблицей стилей  документации пытаюсь определить за что же всё таки отвечает setFrameStyle, ведь "тута" порядковый номер стиля на картинке совпадает с отрисовкой, а ставишь, к примеру значение параметра 6 и уже классическая рамка. А "тама" на картинке в StylePanel (шестая по порядку), она другая.
Помогите понять, как можно прописать нужный эффект в pyQt6 из возможных

What seems like a purple rattlesnake is a poisonous Pokemon named Ekan with a golden ring-like shape around its neck. This snake Pokemon was first introduced in Generation 1 and since then it is known for its various abilities such as intimidate nature, skin shedding, and making the enemies nervous.
Moving silently and stealthily and detaching its jaw to swallow large preys are some of the Ekans best tactics. Some other Ekans attacks include poison stings, spit up, mud bomb, coil, and gunk shot. Headbutt, curse, toxic, hidden power, giga drain, etc. are other Ekan's moveset.
Want to know how to get Ekans to your base camp? Well, you need to make Ekans recipe which is Sludge Soup a la Cube. There are three different combinations to make the same recipe. First is Balm Mushroom (2), Tiny Mushroom (3). Second is Balm Mushroom (3), Tiny Mushroom (2). The last way is Balm Mushroom (3), Rainbow Matter (1), and Tiny Mushroom (1).
When it comes to the Ekans evolution, there is one evolution level. Ekans evolves into Arbok which is again a poisonous type Pokemon.

Building a Bigger Brain
A Gene, Found Only in Humans and Active in the Cerebral Cortex, Can Enlarge the Ferret Brain
The picture shows the developing ferret brain. Magenta marks glial cells and clearly shows the outer contour of the brain. The green area consists of neurons that contain ARHGAP11B and which are marked with GFP. Image: Kalebic / Gilardi / MPI-CBG.

The human brain owes its characteristic wrinkled appearance to its outer layer, the cerebral cortex. During human evolution, the neocortex, the evolutionarily youngest part of the cerebral cortex, expanded dramatically and had to fold into wrinkles to fit inside the restricted space of the skull. The human neocortex supports advanced cognitive skills such as reasoning and language. But how did the human neocortex become so big?
The answer may lie in genes that are unique to humans, such as ARHGAP11B. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden found that this human-specific gene, when introduced into the developing brain of ferrets, can cause an enlargement of their neocortex. ARHGAP11B causes neural progenitor cells, which are cells that produce neurons, to make more of themselves for a longer period of time. The result is an expanded neocortex. The researchers published their findings in the journal eLife.
How did the Human Neocortex Become so Big?
The human neocortex is roughly three times bigger than that of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, and is the seat of many of the higher cognitive functions that are unique to humans, such as our speech or the ability to learn. A key question for scientists is how in human evolution the neocortex became so big. In a 2015 study, the team around Wieland Huttner, research group leader at the MPI-CBG, found that under the influence of the human-specific gene ARHGAP11B, mice produced much more neural progenitor cells and could even undergo folding of their normally unfolded neocortex. The results suggested that the gene ARHGAP11B plays a key role in the evolutionary expansion of the human neocortex.
Human-Specific Gene Increases Number of Basal Glial Cells
There are two types of neural progenitors in the mammalian neocortex: apical and basal. A subtype of the latter, called basal radial glial cells, are driving neocortex growth in human development. Unfortunately, mice have very few of them, which makes mice unsuitable to test whether the human-specific gene ARHGAP11B – via its effects on basal radial glial cells – can indeed cause an enlargement of the neocortex.
A team of researchers from the research group of Wieland Huttner now investigated what ARHGAP11B would bring about in a ferret brain. Ferrets have a larger neocortex than mice and possess more basal radial glial cells. The first author of the study, Nereo Kalebic, explains what he was able to observe: "In ferrets, ARHGAP11B noticeably increased the number of basal radial glial cells. It also extended the time window during which the basal radial glial cells produced neurons. As a result, these ferret brains contained more neurons and thus had a bigger neocortex." These results suggest that ARHGAP11B may have a similar role in the developing human brain. This study also provides the first evidence of a human-specific gene increasing the number of basal radial glial cells in a folded neocortex.
Wieland Huttner, who supervised the study, gives an outlook: "Further experiments need to be done to determine whether the ferrets with a larger neocortex also have enhanced cognitive abilities. If they do, testing these animals may provide insights into human cognition."
Nereo Kalebic, Carlotta Gilardi, Mareike Albert, Takashi Namba, Katherine R Long, Milos Kostic, Barbara Langen, Wieland B Huttner: Human-specific ARHGAP11B induces hallmarks of neocortical expansion in developing ferret neocortex, eLife (2018); DOI: [10.7554/eLife.41241.001].

Q: ruby test if a subdomain belongs to a domain is it possible in rails to check if a subdomain belongs to a domain?
Example:
blog.example.com belongs to example.com ? yes
blog.foo.com belongs to example.com? no
example.com belongs to example.com? yes

I need a deep test, not only a string-like test

A: If the relationship is simply to determine whether a subdomain is part of another domain (and you know both the subdomain and the domain) then the match is a simple comparison.
s1 = 'blog.example.com'
s2 = 'blog.foo.com'
s3 = 'example.com'
s4 = 'blog.counterexample.com'

d = 'example.com'

s1.end_with?(".#{d}") || s1 == d
# => true
s2.end_with?(".#{d}") || s2 == d
# => false
s3.end_with?(".#{d}") || s3 == d
# => true
s4.end_with?(".#{d}") || s4 == d
# => false

Otherwise, if you need to decompose a subdomain into the domain, then you need something more elaborate. In this case I encourage you to use the Public Suffix List, you can use the Public Suffix gem.
domain = PublicSuffix.parse("google.com")
# => #

domain.tld
# => "com"
domain.sld
# => "google"
domain.trd
# => nil

domain.domain
# => "google.com"
domain.subdomain
# => nil

As a side note, the language behind Rails is Ruby and this is a Ruby problem, not really a Rails problem.

Carex pennsylvanica is a remarkable deer proof, drought tolerant groundcover for shade and a suitable lawn replacement with low maintainance needs!
Many homeowners struggle with growing grass beneath oaks and pines. Mature trees out-compete grasses for water and nutrients. Large, woody roots are often apparent right on the soil surface under oaks, making it difficult to grow. A solution is to use a lawn alternative such as Carex pennsylvanica.
Carex pennsylvanica has slightly arching, fine-textured green blades that spreading slowly to create a lush semi-evergreen carpet growing 8-10" high. Clusters of brown seed capsules appear in spring. Sedges are close relatives of grasses and look a lot like them and can function like a traditional lawn.
Carex pennsylvanica adapts to various soils, including loam, sandy, or acidic rich and thrives in DRY and MOIST SHADE and competition from tree roots. Carex will also grow in full sun, but you'll need to provide some moisture.
Carex pannsylvanica binds the soil with its dense roots making it ideal for shady slopes.
This low maintenance shade groundcover is great for areas where one wants a lawn feel - but growing turf isn't feasible.
This shade loving Ornamental Grass is stunning as an underplanting or edging to Hydrangeas, Hostas, or Hellebores.
Soil: Average, dry to medium, well-drained soils. Prefers drier loose or sandy loam.
Light: Part shade to full shade. Prefers sun-dappled part shade.
Water: Most sedges prefer moist to wet soils, but not this one. Water during hot dry periods.
Fertilizing: Needs little to none. On very poor soil, a light scattering of time release fertilizer in spring should be all that is needed.
Maintenance & Pruning: If necessary, it can be cut back in late winter or very early spring before new growth appears.
Arrived shaken out of pot. 3" plug of Carex in a quart pot of potting mix. Quite healthy, but very much smaller than it should have been.

Q: Defining constraints in Z3 using Boolean operators Let's say, I want to restrict each character of the string to the charset: [a-zA-Z0-9_] using Z3 constraints, can I use a boolean operator to specify that?
As an example:
input = [BitVec("input%s" % i, 8) for i in range(10)]

for i in range(10):
  s.add(input[i] >= 0x30 and input[i] <= 0x39)
  s.add(input[i] >= 0x41 and input[i] <= 0x5A)
  s.add(input[i] >= 0x61 and input[i] <= 0x7A)

Is this correct? Any other efficient way to define constraints?
Usually in Python, I could do something like:
import string

charset = string.uppercase + string.lowercase + string.digits + "_"

for i in charset:
    ...

Can something similar be done to define constraints in Z3?
Thanks.

A: The best way to go about this would be to simply use z3's regular-expression matching facilities:
from z3 import *
import string

lower  = Union([Re(c) for c in string.lowercase])
upper  = Union([Re(c) for c in string.uppercase])
digs   = Union([Re(c) for c in string.digits])
uscore = Re('_')

charset = Union(lower, upper, digs, uscore)
lang    = Plus(charset)

s = Solver()
test = String("test")
s.add(Length(test) == 10)
s.add(InRe(test, lang))

print s.check()
print s.model()

This prints:
sat
[test = "9L25ZPC1B8"]

Or you can use it to test whether particular strings belong to the regular-expression you've defined:
>>> print (simplify(InRe("hEllO_123", lang)))
True
>>> print (simplify(InRe("%$", lang)))
False

class BackInput(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        super(BackInput, self).__init__()

    def run(self):
        self.input = raw_input()

while True:
    threading1 = BackInput()
    threading1.start()
    threading1.join()
    if threading1.input == 'disarm':
        print 'Disarm'
        break
    print 'Arm'

In this code, the program should print Arm every second, when I typed disarm, it can print Disarm and break it.

A: You really need to be more specific. Why do these need to be in threads? You should show us what you have tried, or describe in more detail what you are trying to accomplish.
In your current setup, you are putting the thread inside a loop, so it can't run independently of each user input.
edited: here is some cleaned up code as an example for you, based on your post edits and comments.
import threading
import time
import sys

def background():
    while True:
        time.sleep(3)
        print 'disarm me by typing disarm'

def other_function():
    print 'You disarmed me! Dying now.'

# now threading1 runs regardless of user input
threading1 = threading.Thread(target=background)
threading1.daemon = True
threading1.start()

while True:
    if raw_input() == 'disarm':
        other_function()
        sys.exit()
    else:
        print 'not disarmed'
