SACMI's MPH300 press for high precision powder metal compaction installed at Jopp's plant in Bad Neustadt (Germany).
Founded in 1919 and with more than 40 years of experience in PM parts production, JOPP is today a Group of 11 companies across 3 continents active in 6 different business sectors as a worldwide supplier of the Automotive Industry.
As the company's tagline "Leading the way to excellence" suggests, over the years JOPP has always been keen to pursue innovation through smart application of state-of-art technologies and the recently installation of the MPH300 press is no exception.
MPH is SACMI's range of fully automatic hydraulic CNC controlled presses that are already setting new standards for PM pressing technology: appreciated by Customers across 4 continents the MPH are today synonyms of high productivity and best quality.
Jopp will moreover benefit from the meticulous attention SACMI always puts into energy saving and environmental sustainability: the MPH300 hydraulics in fact rely on regenerative circuits that adapt the oil flow to the different stages of the compacting process thus minimizing the energy consumption.
High efficiency is granted as well by SACMI's fully electric tool manipulator installed on the press body that allows a fast and precise tool assembly in a minimized floor space and by the greatly appreciated Assisted Programming Interface (API) that drastically reduces the press programming and tuning times.


I've had a terrible time sticking to my blog plans. I bought a planner and wrote out menus, ideas, ingredients, and shopping list. Each day I start out with the best of intentions of sticking to my plan. Each day this week I have failed, oops. Today I started out going to make croissants for a Thanksgiving themed post and some how ended up scraping that idea and started making cream puffs. Now I could rationalize and justify my actions but I feel like Cream Puffs would be an amazing dessert to serve at Thanksgiving. So there you go it's a Thanksgiving post. The way I see it, cream puffs are more forgiving than my arch nemesis pie. We will get into my troubles with pie in another post.
If you have never had a cream puff or eclair you are missing out. This isn't a traditional one but it is a tasty one. I first attempted Cream puffs after getting my first Taste of Home cookbook. It's a binder like cookbook that I got as a Christmas Present when I was 21. I started to really get into baking again and it was a very thoughtful present. When I moved I thought I had lost it forever but found it and cried for 10 minutes much to my family's dismay. What they didn't understand was the cookbook has built in folders where I had written notes and collected other recipes. That cookbook was my recipe box. The stains that cover the pages are like my battle scars of the kitchen. Let me tell you there are a lot. The corners have been chewed by two puppies and some pages have been ripped or discolored but this is my book and cannot be replaced. This cookbook provided me my first choux pastry recipe. It made a slighter thicker pastry than what I wanted but it was delicious and inspired me. Over the years I have tried numerous recipes and came up with my own version that seems to get a nice slim and tender crust. Puffs up perfectly and what I really love about it is it's fool-proof. I tend to mess up a lot in the kitchen. It could be that I seem to be doing a thousand things at once. Like right now Im cooking dinner, watching the news about Paris, and writing the blog. This kind of multitasking lends to messed up dinners and cut fingers. I advise against it. The days I find myself most successful in the kitchen is when I set my mind to just being there in the moment. When I made the dough and baked them up I had a sense of pride that it came out perfectly after years of not making them. I can't say that much for dinner right now but definitely my cream puffs.
If you are unfamiliar with choux pastry it is pâte à choux, a french dough used to making profiteroles, eclairs, and other tasty treats. It's a light dough that is very versatile. So once you master this the options are endless. Feel free to stuff them with anything from jams to ice cream and top with ganache or salted caramel.
If you don't finish all of these after serving, I like to freeze them individually and defrost slightly for a really yummy snack. Don't judge I have a serious sweet tooth.
If you are going to bring these to a party, pack the filling in a pastry bag with the tip not cut off yet and rubber band the top shut. Pack the puffs in a tupperware. Bring a little sifter and ziploc bag of the powdered sugar. Assemble and serve when you arrive. If you aren't traveling far the pastries will be fine during transport. They aren't as delicate as I make them to be, but the tender crust will start to get a little soft the longer the filling is inside of it.
1. In a large pot add butter, water, and sugar and bring to boil. Remove from heat.
2. Sift in all-purpose flour into the pot and stir till combined. The dough should eventually form a large dough ball.
3. Place back on to heat and stir a few more times. A slight film will appear on the bottom of the pan. Remove and let stand for 5-8 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I like to do it now while I let the dough cool.
5. Whisk eggs in a small bowl until light and airy. Stream slowly and in batches the egg mixture into dough and stir till combined gently. Over mixing will cause tough flat pastries.
6. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Fill a pastry bag (or Ziploc) with dough and pipe circles of dough about 3 inches in diameter. Make sure to space each out evenly. A dozen per cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 20 minutes (longer is you piped large puffs). Remove immediately and place on wire cooling racks. The puffs should be golden brown and hallow. Cool completely before filling with creams or sauces.
In a heavy bottom sauce pan warm the 2 cups of fat free milk over low heat, while making sure not to scald the bottom.
In a medium mixing bowl cream egg yolks and granulated sugar. Then in a small mixing bowl mix together flour and cornstarch. Then sieve in the flour mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Lastly stir in the vanilla bean paste.
Pour only 1/3 of warm milk into the egg mixture, making sure to get all the lumps combined. Once smooth pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the milk and whisk thoroughly while bringing the temperature up to a medium high heat. Once mixture begins to boil and thicken turn off heat and remove from stove.
Now add 1/3 of the butter to the saucepan and mix in until cream is smooth and butter is combined. Transfer out of saucepan to a container of your choosing, I like to keep it in a pyrex glass bowl at this point and cover with plastic wrap covering it, making sure the plastic wrap is touching the top of the cream to prevent a hardened top.
When the mixture comes to room temperature mix in the last of the butter. Store in airtight container in the fridge.
In a separate bowl whip cream and sugar together until stiff peaks form. Finally add pastry cream that has cooled completely and fold together. The mixture should be light and fluffy and very tasty.
Fill piping bag with pastry cream. Fill each puff generously with cream and gently add the other half of the puff that was removed earlier. Continue to fill all puffs with cream. This should be done right before serving.
Using a sifter or sieve add powdered sugar inside and lightly dust the puffs.

Fair Copyright
Should copyright law lock down music and literature to protect the financial interests of rights-holders? Or should it promote broad access to, and use of, intellectual goods? These questions are at the core of the growing public debate over the need for fair and balanced copyright law, a debate that college and university students have a critical stake in.
As creators and owners of copyright material (essays, articles, theses and multi-media productions), students need to protect their work from unjust appropriation. But to study, research, write and create new knowledge, students also need ready access, at a reasonable cost, to the copyrighted works of others. This tri-part perspective-of use, creation and ownership of copyright-gives students special credibility in the struggle for fair and balanced copyright law.
Intellectual property is a legal concept governing the ownership and use of goods created by intellectual labour. Copyright is the intellectual property sub-category that protects expressive "works", including literary, dramatic, artistic and musical creations.
The Canadian Copyright Act gives copyright owners a bundle of economic rights (including the rights to publish, reproduce, exhibit or perform a work) and to creators a series of moral rights (including rights to protect the integrity of a work, to be associated or not associated with a work, and to preserve an author's honour and reputation in relation to a work).
Copyright is infringed when someone, without the consent of the copyright owner, does something with a work that only the owner of the work has the right to do. People found liable for infringing an owner's copyright are subject to a variety of financial penalties. The Act protects the public interest by limiting the duration of the copyright term (generally to the life of the author plus fifty years, after which the work enters the public domain), allowing certain exceptions to what would otherwise be infringement (for example, permitting the transfer of copyrighted works to formats accessible to visually impaired persons) and through fair dealing (the right to use works without permission in various circumstances).
Copyright Act Reform
In the early 2000s the federal government began a round of copyright reform aimed at addressing developments in digital information technology. Advances in this technology have disrupted the traditional operation of the Copyright Act, simultaneously creating opportunities for complete copyright control by corporate rights-owners as well as mass, illegal, instantaneous duplication by commercial pirates. More subtly the new technology has also enhanced the ability of copyright users to become creators in their own right; breaking down old distinctions between creator and user, between broadcaster and audience, and even between educator and learner.
Good public policy must therefore ensure that digital technology protects the legitimate copyright interests of creators (artists, writers, musicians, researchers) and prevents copyright owners from using new technologies to restrict reasonable access to, and use of, information resources. Unfortunately, copyright policy in Canada has long been dominated by commercial interests who reject such balance. Canada continues to be under intense pressure from the U.S. government and the international entertainment industry to grant sweeping new protections to rights-holders. In particular, successive Canadian governments have been urged to adopt a version of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a controversial piece of legislation that locks down digital data.
In a break with tradition, a groundswell of grassroots opposition has prevented the federal government from bowing to this corporate pressure. A new generation of activists from the general public and specific groups such as students, teachers, consumers, librarians and even sectors of the business community has stopped the Copyright Act from being tipped further in favour of commercial rights holders at the expense of the public interest. While this is a great victory, the struggle now is moving from a defensive position to one from which actual improvements to the Act can be demanded. As users, creators, and owners of copyrighted works, students are well-placed to play a prominent role in the struggle for balanced copyright law.

Hi, I'm Zhaozhi a student at UCL. I'm pleased to write a guest post on the Accenture Graduate Blog to tell you all about a project I worked on in partnership with Accenture Analytics and my university department.
Firstly, a bit about me. I started at UCL in 2015 and I'm currently studying towards an MSc Computational Statistics and Machine Learning. In the future, I hope to become a data scientist, as I enjoy finding actionable insights from data.
The project I was involved with was a real-world data problem set by my department in partnership with Accenture. I worked with my UCL supervisor Franz on creating models that would enable us to predict the winner of each match in the RBS 6 Nations Championship. I had to systematically study all of the pre-match predictions for the outcomes of matches, as well as using in-game models. The data set I was working with (Accenture provided the data which is owned by Opta) was very detailed. Being able to work with this data was fascinating because it was 15 years' worth of historical matches and captured almost all events happening on the field every second, both at team and player level. I then built a problem specific model evaluation framework, which would allow me to compare the models. Using the evaluation framework, I was able to explore and analyse the effectiveness of the different prediction models.
Each week my supervisor and I would have a call with our Accenture contact Nina Fertacz (Accenture Analytics Senior Manager), where I would summarise my progress. It was initially quite tricky to present quite complex and abstract concepts without using any visual graphics or presentation slides! However, my presentation skills definitely improved as a result of this. I also really enjoyed discussing the problems – they really got me thinking about the complexity of the problem and I liked being able to talk things through with experts in the field of analytics.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project with Accenture. Although aspects of the project were challenging due to the fact that final outcomes in competitive sports can be determined by a number of different factors, it was a great opportunity to learn from experts in the industry and test my knowledge of analytics. The project was relatively short (two months), which meant although I made improvements to the model, it was still quite simple and there are various aspects that I would have liked to investigate further if time had allowed me to. I am looking forward to the possibility of further collaborations in the future!


By serving the needs of the public, city employees have a great impact on the community. Offering more than basic services, they help maintain the City of Kings Mountains' high quality of life.
to offer the best possible service to all, and to recruit, hire and retain a highly qualified workforce prepared to meet each day's challenges in order to provide excellent service for the citizens of Kings Mountain.


Derrick Ansley does not know what exact position Minkah Fitzpatrick will play in the NFL.
That depends on the specific needs of the Bucs or whatever other team uses a high first-round pick to draft the former Alabama defensive back in April.
Fitzpatrick could be a cornerback. Or a safety. Or a nickelback. Or some combination of the three.
"He's not going to be a guy that's going to be drafted as a corner or a drafted as a safety," said Ansley, Fitzpatrick's position coach at 'Bama. "He's going to be drafted as a football player."
That's what Fitzpatrick was in college — a pure football player who might have been the biggest defensive star of the Nick Saban era.
"Minkah has just got all the right stuff," Saban said. "He's got a lot of ability, but he's really driven in terms of work ethic, preparation, wanting to be successful."
In three seasons before declaring for the draft last week, Fitzpatrick started 38 games for a Crimson Tide team that made three national title games (and won two of them). His statistics are impressive enough on their own: He ranked fourth on the team with 60 tackles (8 for a loss) with eight pass breakups, three quarterback hurries, a blocked kick and a forced fumble. No player in program history returned more interceptions for a touchdown over a career than Fitzpatrick (four).
But those numbers and his size (6-foot-1, 202 pounds) don't convey everything about why he's expected to be a top-10 pick. He really can play every position in the secondary, giving his future employer multiple options.
Fitzpatrick began his career at STAR — Alabama's version of the nickelback. When Eddie Jackson suffered a season-ending injury in 2016, Fitzpatrick shifted to safety — and earned All-America honors there.
He made his first impact in last week's title game when he blitzed on the first snap but turned around to chase down running back Nick Chubb for a 1-yard loss.
But a three-play sequence later in the half showed his versatility. He lined up in the box on the first play and reversed course to defend a receiver. On the next snap, he was back at safety, sprinting forward to trip up running back Sony Michel. He ended the sequence by shutting down the slot receiver.
Three plays. Three different positions. Three different jobs.
"He's blessed with the physical tools to do it," said Ansley, who will reportedly join Jon Gruden's new Raiders staff. "He's got the intellect to do it, and he's got the willingness to do it."
The obvious comparison has been to Derwin James — Florida State's do-it-all defender who lined up in at least six different positions this year. But the better comparison might be a different FSU product — Jalen Ramsey, who similarly slid around the Seminoles' secondary before becoming an All-Pro cornerback in his second year with the Jaguars.
Fitzpatrick had an even more decorated college career than Ramsey; he capped his final year by winning the Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive player) and Jim Thorpe Award (top defensive back), plus the national title.
If Fitzpatrick is still available when the Bucs pick seventh, he'd be an intriguing option. Tampa Bay had one of the NFL's worst pass defenses and could have openings at cornerback and safety. Fitzpatrick could fill either.
Fitzpatrick said his versatility comes from film study and preparation — understanding every detail of how he fits in to each play.
"The coaches do a really good preparing me, because it's a lot of them challenging me, asking me — can you do this? Can you do that?" Fitzpatrick said.
Does he ever tell them no?
"No …" Fitzpatrick said. "That's why I am where I am, because I never say no."

Q: Does $(L_{p+1}+2)\equiv0 \mod p$ only when $p^2$ have digits in nondecreasing order? Let $L_n$ be the $n$th Lucas number and $p$ a prime number.
I noticed something with Lucas Number : it seems than $(L_{n+1}+2)\equiv0 \mod n$ is right only when $n$ is a prime $p$ and only if $p^2$ has digits in nondecreasing order.
For example :

*

*$(L_{5+1}+2) = 18+2 = 20$ and $20\equiv0 \mod 5$ and $5^2 = 25$. $25$ has digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{7+1}+2) = 47+2 = 49$ and $49\equiv0 \mod 7$ and $7^2 = 49$. $49$ has digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{11+1}+2) = 322+2 = 324$ and $324\equiv5 \mod 11$ and $11^2 = 121$. $121$ has not digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{13+1}+2) = 843+2 = 845$ and $845\equiv0 \mod 13$ and $13^2 = 169$. $169$ has digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{17+1}+2) = 5778+2 = 5780$ and $5780\equiv0 \mod 17$ and $17^2 = 289$. $289$ has digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{19+1}+2) = 15127+2 = 15129$ and $15129\equiv5 \mod 19$ and $13^2 = 361$. $361$ has not digits in nondecreasing order

*$(L_{37+1}+2) = 87403803+2 = 87403805$ and $87403805\equiv0 \mod 37$ and $37^2 = 1369$. $1369$ has digits in nondecreasing order
I tested with the sequence https://oeis.org/A028865 and it works until 337 for me. (I didn't check higher)
Is there a way to explain that ? I don't know how to start for proving it.

A: The primes $p$ for which $L_{p+1}\equiv-2\bmod p$ end with $2, 3, 5$ or $7$. The primes in the OEIS sequence, whose squares must end with $4, 5,$ or $9$ for the digit ordering to work, meet this criterion, but there are also other primes for which $L_{p+1}\equiv-2\bmod p$. For instance, $p=23$ would satisfy the modular relation but $23^2=\color{blue}{52}9$.
The next unlisted primes ending in $3$ or $7$ are $43,47,53$ and these also appear to hold the modular relation, but their squares again do not have all digits sorted.

    is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.''')

and the this occours in a (probably infinite) loop:
RuntimeError:
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
        current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

this is the multiprocessing function:
def processJobs(jobs,task=None,numThreads=24):
    # Run in parallel.
    # jobs must contain a 'func' callback, for expandCall

    if task is None:
        task=jobs[0]['func'].__name__
        pool=mp.Pool(processes=numThreads)

    outputs,out,time0=pool.imap_unordered(expandCall,jobs),[],time.time()

    # Process asynchronous output, report progress
    for i,out_ in enumerate(outputs,1):                            #   <---- Here.
        out.append(out_)
        reportProgress(i,len(jobs),time0,task)
    pool.close(); pool.join() # this is needed to prevent memory leaks return out

    return out

How can I solve this? (I really need multiprocessing)
EDIT: tried it on Pycharm -> it reports the same errors

A: I just ran into this. You are probably directly calling processJobs() directly in the Python script.
You just need to add the main idiom like so:
if __name__ == '__main__':
    processJobs()

I suspect multiprocessing will fork/spawn multiple Python processes in the OS and load the module, and not having this guard causes the Pool instantiation to be invoked recursively.
Having the main guard ensures that the Pool instantiation runs only once.


Our medical placements in India are based at 2 large modern hospitals in Trivandrum, one being a medical college and a number of smaller specialist clinics. We have chosen these hospitals because it gives you the opportunity to spend time in a variety of different departments and gain experience in a number of medical fields. The placement at the medical college is ideal for pre-university medical or nursing students as it also gives them an opportunity to attend lectures and practical sessions with Indian medical students during term times, which are broadly similar to those at home (although this is not compulsory).
Cardiovascular, Orthopaedics, ENT, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Anaesthesiology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Neonatal, Paediatrics, Nephrology, Urology and others.
Your supervisor on the programme will organise for you to spend time shadowing doctors, nurses and medical professionals in various departments at the hospital. They will organise a programme that will give you a broad range of experience, but if you have specified a particular area of interest your placement supervisor will do their best to organise your practical programme in those areas. However, please be aware that it is not always possible to guarantee a placement in a specific department.
Like most countries in the world, you have to pay for medical care in India. This means that many people don't take themselves to the doctor until their condition becomes so bad that something must be done, sadly it's often too late. Additionally, the unique social hierarchy in India means that many people who are lower down on the social ladder (the caste system) feel uncomfortable visiting the doctors. This means that during your time with us in India you will see highly advanced medical conditions that you are unlikely to ever see at home.
Throughout the programme you will be encouraged to ask questions and produce a report. You will be expected to make a note of the conditions and treatments that you see though the day and research these further during your free time in the afternoons. Therefore, a medical dictionary would be a useful thing to take with you. This report will come in incredibly useful when applying for medical school and is a good record of what you achieved on the medical programme with us.

Fleeter Turner's Stone House
By Our Story, Inc. and the Reno Historical team
Tour navigation: Previous | Tour Info | Next
This site is part of the Black Springs tour, a partnership with Our Story, Inc. Visit the Tours page for the tour introduction and complete list of sites.
This small house, constructed of field stone, is one of the oldest structures in Black Springs and may date back to the 1920s. Thurman Carthen remembers it standing when he first arrived in 1956, and believed it to be a well house. Others recall it as a grain house. It was eventually remodeled into a residential duplex.
The building and the house next door were owned by Fleeter Turner, who is recognized as the first Black resident of the neighborhood. According to local newspapers, Turner was born in Louisiana in 1890 and moved to Reno around 1934. She lived for many years on Valley Road before moving to Black Springs, and was an active member of the Bethel AME church on Bell Street.
Turner's life is a bit hard to piece together, but it appears that her husband, Abraham L. Turner, died in Reno in 1941. She purchased three lots from J.E. and Dorothy R. Sweatt in July of 1953 and lived in Black Springs with her partner, Charles Settles. She became a member of Greater New Hope Baptist Church and worked in domestic service while living in Black Springs, and died in 1983 at the age of 92.
Turner played a role in the establishment of a church in Black Springs in 1952, the year before she moved there herself. In September of 1952, J.E. Sweatt sold a parcel of land to Turner, Charles Settles, and "Gas" DuPree specifically and solely for the construction of a church and living quarters for a minister and his family. Newspaper sources indicate that the church was to serve African American service members stationed at the Stead Air Base.
By early 1953, the All People's Holy Church of Christ was offering services in Black Springs, with Reverend J.S. DuPree as pastor. We are seeking more information on this church and will continue to update this site as we gain additional knowledge of its location and operations.

Act 1, Scene 4: 2007-2011
After the Tigard-Tualatin School District's board approved Broadway Rose's proposal to renovate an abandoned cafeteria building at the Charles F. Tigard Elementary School and turn it into a theater, planning ramped up in 2007 for the renovation. The intention was to remain in the Deb Fennell Auditorium for summer shows and use the new theater for performances through the rest of the year and to serve as the company's headquarters. Working with Soderstrom Architects on the design, Robert Gray Partners for construction, and Shiels|Obletz|Johnsen to manage the project, the company prepared to announce the plans for the new theater and fund raising campaign in the summer.
The newly formed Broadway Rose Theatre Guild (which supports the company with fundraising, marketing, and community-building) hosted a "Sweet 16" birthday party and sing-along fundraiser in February 2007 at the King City Club House that earned $5,700.
In February of 2008 a groundbreaking ceremony took place at the new location, and the company received a $124,000 grant from the Collins Foundation to help with the capital campaign. New staff positions continued to be added and Brisa Trinchero was promoted to Executive Director. Musical Theatre International selected Broadway Rose to be one of only 24 companies in the country to be given permission to produce Les Misérables. Broadway veteran Douglas Webster played Valjean and Robert Hunt, who played Javert on Broadway, directed. The production won the Drammy Award for Outstanding Production and set ticket sales records.
In May of 2008 a group of 40 Broadway Rose patrons and staff went to New York City to see Broadway shows and tour the city. The trip was a huge success and has continued every spring since. In December, Broadway Rose officially signed an agreement with the school district to become the tenant at the C. F. Tigard school location. Broadway Rose assumed the responsibility for funding the remodel and maintaining the building.
The capital campaign was successfully completed and in November 2008 the staff moved into the new management offices at the New Stage. The building inspector approved the final inspection just hours before the inaugural performance of Celebrate Home – A Broadway Rose Christmas.
In 2009, the company presented its first year-round season of six mainstage musicals, adding two more musicals to its annual lineup. Broadway Rose appeared on Oregon Business Magazine's inaugural "100 Best Nonprofits to Work for in Oregon" list and was selected as the 2009 "Business of the Year" by the Tigard Chamber of Commerce. That summer the first Teen Workshop was held, and 40 teens performed a full production of Grease.
In 2010, Portland Business Journal ranked Broadway Rose 10th on the list of "Top Arts Nonprofits," behind Portland Center Stage and Artists Repertory Theatre. The company produced The King and I with a record-breaking 56 cast members. As the year came to a close, Brisa Trichero headed off to the Big Apple to pursue new dreams and Brenda MacRoberts was hired as the new Executive Director. The holiday show, G.I. Holiday Jukebox sold out before opening night and the Guild hosted its first annual Santa Sing-Along fundraiser.
In 2011, the company launched its 20th anniversary season with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as a nod to the production that started it all. The Guild hosted an anniversary luncheon and honored individuals, businesses, and foundations that had significantly supported the theatre. Broadway Rose received a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts' Access to Artistic Excellence program to produce Ripper, the company's first-ever fully staged world premiere. The summer's production of Hairspray again won the Drammy Award for Outstanding Production. Another major expansion for the company came with its investment in and implementation of new ticketing and database management software, Tessitura, which allowed patrons to see real-time availability and select their own seats when purchasing tickets online.
While the financial crisis of 2008 had for the most part not affected Broadway Rose, the challenging economy caught up to the theatre and took its toll on ticket sales and revenue in 2011. For the first time in eight years, the company did not reach its financial goals. Thanks to several generous donors, and a prudent reserve, the year ended stronger than expected and remained debt free, but it was clear that the company's next chapter needed to focus on financially stabilizing the company.

PARTIES AGAIN CONCEALED THE NAMES OF THEIR FINANCIAL BENEFECTORS
After the recent parliamentary elections not a single political force in the new National Assembly made public the list of its sponsors. The representatives of the National Movement Simeon II (NMSII), of the Union of Democratic Forces (UDF), of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), and of Coalition for Bulgaria flatly refused to reveal the names of their financial benefactors. They said the lists were presented to the Audit Office together with the other documents regarding the financing of the pre-election campaign. Politicians, even those preaching a new moral, refused to unveil their donators and thus lay the beginning of the proclaimed crusade against corruption. Hope remains that the Chairman of the Audit Office Georgi Nikolov, who accepted the political parties' reports about the money they spent during the pre-election campaign, will venture to do that.
Mr. Nikolov recalled that under the Parliamentary Elections Act, parties and coalitions are not entitled to receive donations from state-run companies, foreign firms and private citizens, and companies with a more than 25% foreign participation. The act also stipulates that political parties cannot spend more than DEM1MN for their pre-election campaigns; the respective ceiling is DEM2MN for coalitions and DEM200,000 for initiative committees. The law does not allow a donation of a single citizen to exceed DEM10,000, and a firm cannot grant more than DEM30,000.
However, the Chairman of the Audit Office pointed out that the Act does not explicitely say if the submitted reports are liable to inspection. Moreover, the law makes no provisions for sanctions on political forces which have not filed their reports, or have violated the Act in any other way.
The ethnic Turks' MRF was extremely sparing of the information on its expenses during the pre-election campaign. Hassan Ademov, MP from the MRF, only said their expenses did not exceed DEM200,000 and that he did not remember any other figures.
The leftist Coalition for Bulgaria announced it spent DEM711,000 for its pre-election campaign. Only DEMGL60,000 of that amount was provided by the 15 coalition partners of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), and the remaing money was ensured by the socialists.
It turned out that the UDF neither has any intentions of unveiling the names of its sponsors. According to the former Finance Minister and Vice Chairman of UDF's National Executive Council Mouravei Radev, not a single political force will do that. Mr. Radev specified for the BANKER weekly that UDF's pre-election campaign was sponsored mainly by natural persons. The number of firms was very little and among them there were no banks or private companies that were engaged in public procurement at the moment when the donation was made. Mr. Radev specified that UDF's pre-election campaign cost a little more than DEM1.5MN.
NMSII's information on its pre-election expenses was the most exhaustive. The total amount of donations which the NMSII received on its accounts in Bulgarian Post Bank or in cash was around DEM1.56MN. Unlike the donations to the UDF, most of NMSII' money - DEM903.4MN-plus - came from companies, and the balance of DEM656,100 - from natural persons. Each sponsor got a cerificate from the NMSII and was entered in the register of donators.
None of NMSII's financial benefactors wanted to remain anonymous, it becomes clear from the statement to the mass media. In that case, it is unlikely for anybody to get angry if his or her name is made public.
NMSII saved some DEM6,000 of the donations. Most of the expenses - about DEM835,000 went for the mass media campaign. NMSII, however, did not take pains to specify how much money was paid to the electronic media and how much - to the press.
More than DEM326,500 was spent on author's payment and sociological polls. It would be interesting to know which sociological agencies swallowed that money and how much they got.
NMSII spent much less - about DEM113,400 - on its mass activities. Propaganda and advertising materials cost DEM110,500; transport costs amounted to some DEM67,500, and miscellaneous expenses - for several cocktail parties probably - exceeded DEM93,400.

Friar House[edit]
Hi SlimVirgin,
Do you want a daytime photo of the house? If so, I can take you a photo next time I pass by it with a camera.
cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 16:02, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi cmglee, that would be wonderful if it's no trouble. Germaine Greer and Clive James both lived there, so I've added the image to her article. It would be good to have some of the street too, because the point is not only to show the house but also something of the area. I like the image you took because it includes the sign for the Eagle on the left, though including that means there is less of the house. SarahSV (talk) 20:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Sarah! I've uploaded four photos of Friar House and Bene't Street:

Hope that's useful!

cmglee, these are wonderful photographs, thank you! You're an excellent photographer. I'm going to use the fourth one, File:cmglee Cambridge Friar House from The Eagle.jpg, because it shows the house well and has the Eagle sign too, which is perfect. Thank you again! It's very kind of you. SarahSV (talk) 22:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
It's in place in the Cambridge section of Greer's bio, next to the description of her room in the house. It looks good! SarahSV (talk) 23:09, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Many thanks for the compliment and barnstar, Sarah, and it's a pleasure. Good update on en:Germaine Greer, too. I've also updated en:Bene't Street and en:Free School Lane with photos and info about Friar House. Feel free to amend or add to them. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:29, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Ronhjones (Talk) 03:15, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ron, I'm not sure what further thing you need. Sean Hickin took the photograph in 1986. He describes which camera he used, what kind of film he used, the approximate date he took it, and that it was originally too dark, and he has released it into the public domain. What else is needed? SarahSV (talk) 00:30, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
See COM:PDM (and expand the hidden sections in the template on the image page) - he has not released it into the Public Domain. He has added a "Public Domain Mark" which means that he believes it's in the Public Domain (because it's too old, or US Gov, etc). A PDM is not an irrevocable license - as you know we must have that here. He needs to change the designation to "Public Domain Dedication (CC0)" if he wants to give away all rights. Flickr has made a right pain of it's choices. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Ron, surely this is splitting hairs. He is the author, so if he says it's in the public domain, then it is. I asked him to release the image for use in an article, and that's the template he chose. I don't know whether Flickr offers more than one PD template, and I don't want to harass him about it. SarahSV (talk) 00:45, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
The conclusion at COM:PDM is that we don't accept a PDM - the other option I quoted ("Public Domain Dedication (CC0)") is exactly the Flickr item one needs to choose - it gives the image an irrevocable CC-zero license. The PDM template I put on the image page took some editors a lot of collective effort to get enough information in it for the user - it was not done lightly. It can always be changed to to DR if you like, I'm fairly certain of that sort of outcome. The current tagging regime gives a user enough time to make contact with the Flickr owner (or add a standard PD template if that applies). Ronhjones (Talk) 01:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Ron, I've emailed him but last time it was four months before he responded. Because Flickr makes people create Yahoo accounts, and probably few use Yahoo nowadays, it can take ages to get replies. Please wait at least a month before deleting. Also, I can't find anything in the discussion you referenced about authors using that template. If the author says there are no copyright restrictions, that's a release. SarahSV (talk) 23:24, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
You don't have to use yahoo e-mail on Flickr, you can set the contact email address to whatever you want. Mine is my current e-mail address. I don't normally delete images I have tagged. Suggest you add a note to the talk page. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:36, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
It does not distract from the fact that a PDM is not a license, it's just a mark - https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/pdm/ says "The Public Domain Mark is recommended for works that are free of known copyright around the world. These will typically be very old works.." Ronhjones (Talk) 23:47, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Ron, when I last checked, Flickr did force people to set up Yahoo addresses. You can then add another address, but a lot of people don't bother, and therefore it can take ages before they see their Flickr emails. This is a known problem when trying to contact photographers via Flickr.
As for it not being a licence, the Creative Commons site lists it as a licence. See "In this section". Licensing types --> public domain --> CCO and Public Domain Mark. You are right that when some unconnected person adds it, it's not a release (but that is true of any licence), but when the copyright holder adds it, it surely does count as a release. If the copyright holder says "there are no copyright restrictions", that's a release. Not all releases have to be in the form of "I hereby blah blah". SarahSV (talk) 01:47, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
If he has said "there are no copyright restrictions" then there would not less of an issue, he actually says Another picture from the Mamiya Press, circa 1986 and before the redevelopment of the Arts Theatre (I was working there at the time) - which in itself is a bit off - when you work for someone in this country, it's very normal that the work you do has copyright belonging to the company. If he was working for Mamiya Press and took the picture for them, then he has no authority to give away the copyright. Ronhjones (Talk) 01:55, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
The Mamiya Press is a camera. But no matter. I've read more about this, and I understand the distinction now between the licences. I think it's a distinction without a difference for practical purposes in this case, but no matter. I'll wait and hope that he responds. SarahSV (talk) 02:01, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Moving files in batch uploads[edit]
With collections like Fortepan, when you rename a file it is good practice to leave the batch identifiers in the file name, like Fortepan 60957. This makes mass processing and searching a lot easier. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Um. Sorry, but I don't think the source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_hS-JXoTMk licenses that video as Creative Commons Attribution. Commons:Where is the license on various sites?#YouTube should explain it - basically click the "SHOW MORE" text, and it will either say "License Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)", or, as most often, won't. There are actually a few other possibilities, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb_feZpK2sM, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oss7KmiHLmA. --GRuban (talk) 03:13, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
@GRuban: I searched for her name and used the "Creative Commons" filter, and that video came up third. SarahSV (talk) 04:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Er … are you quite sure? Because here is what I get when I switch on the Creative Commons filter: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=christina+sommers&sp=EgIwAQ%253D%253D

They're all "Creative Commons Attribution license" (well, at least marked that way; I have doubts about the 4th, since it's a video of a still photo, which I view with suspicion).
I do get that when I don't switch on Creative Commons: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=christina+sommers

The video in question has moved to the #1 position - I wouldn't be surprised if that were at least partly because you and I have been looking at it several times over these two days! Try those results links in a private or incognito window, and I think you'll see much the same. We can probably get better screenshots of her from some of those in the first category. And preemptive apologies for the videos' content; the people who like Ms. Sommers are apparently not always among the nicest people in the world. --GRuban (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
That's odd. I've done the search three times, and the same videos come up. I search for "Christina Hoff Sommers", then I go to the filter and click "Creative Commons". <https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Christina+Hoff+Sommers&sp=EgIwAQ%253D%253D> The following are returned:
"#73 ... Louder With Crowder"
"Social Justice Warriors Get Owned ..."
"Joe Rogan Experience #724 - Christina Sommers"
I believe I noticed a change in YouTube a few months ago. It was always the case before (that I recall) that when I did a search like this and filtered it, I'd see "Creative Commons" or "Standard YouTube licence" under "show more". But now often I see neither, which means I have to rely on the filter and hope it's correct. SarahSV (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Ech. I do see it there searching for "Christina Hoff Sommers" with the restrict. I am still skeptical, I admit, but there definitely was a period during a YouTube UI change when the licenses did not show. Maybe this is left over from there, or maybe they're trying a new one. There's clearly a bug somewhere, but whether it's a false positive in the search or a false negative in the license display … I don't remember anyone at YouTube I can ask to check. Carry on. --GRuban (talk) 21:30, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm going to email the uploader, or try to. If I can't contact them, I'll ask that it be deleted. Ditto if they say it's not free. If they say it's free, I'll forward the email to OTRS. Will let you know either way. I only uploaded it because I thought it might be better than the current image, but when I tried it on preview, it wasn't, so the whole thing was a waste of time anyway. SarahSV (talk) 03:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
My compliments on your integrity. You're a better man than I am... so to speak. Yes, none are that good, that one I put up was the best I could find at the time, and it looks like the available field hasn't gotten better. I had hopes for this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCcp36n2cDg but it seems to be directly taken from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffOPImz4Rp0 which is NOT attribution licensed. If you're in a writing people mood, you could try to write her directly, she has a gmail address on http://www.aei.org/scholar/christina-hoff-sommers/. I admit, I try asking the subject for an image occasionally and almost always get either ignored or turned down. --GRuban (talk) 17:58, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
I don't think I realized you had uploaded the original. It's hard to get good images from YouTube; I've spent ages stopping, starting, stopping, to find a frame where there's no blur, no grimace, etc. I did consider emailing her, but I can't currently face having to explain about free images, and OTRS now makes things even harder for editors forwarding releases. They prefer them from the copyright holder directly, so that's another hurdle: having to explain to subjects that they must email OTRS themselves. SarahSV (talk) 20:11, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Just letting you know that I forgot about this, but I've just emailed them. Will wait a few days for a response, then if there's none (or if the news is bad) will request deletion. SarahSV (talk) 03:11, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Ah, you're human. That happens. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 15:54, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
They didn't respond, so I've asked that it be deleted. [1] SarahSV (talk) 05:45, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

What Jesus Has Already Done About Racism?
We, as American Christians, are not children of color but children of God. Our identity is not rooted in our flesh or its appendages but God. We simply cannot be both socially colored black/ white/ red/ yellow/ brown/ beige and Christian. We cannot be privileged, judgmental and xenophobic because of the social coloring of skin and "poor in spirit", gracious and welcoming of the stranger. Or, oppressed, angry and revengeful and "more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus," peaceful and forgiving.
This social coloring of skin, this ability of race to make us believe that we are able to discern between saved and sinner, missionary and heathen, chosen and rejected is not the predetermining factor for our lives and its contributions or the means by which we come to know ourselves, our neighbor or our God. Race consciousness is not synonymous with God- consciousness. We don't learn who we truly are through race but through our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Helmut Thielicke wrote in The Freedom of the Christian Man and I would agree, "Our understanding of freedom is threatened with disintegration because we do not know what 'we should become' because we have lost our sense of what we were intended to be." We, American Christians, do not know what Christ must be in us. This is why race is so appealing; it is because it does the work of becoming for us though a prepackaged existence. But, Immanuel Kant would nudge us with his axiom, "You can because you ought." So, break the seal.
We may think that the Church is not the place to talk about race, its privileges and setbacks. It's inappropriate and irrelevant. We're here to praise God, right? But, God is concerned about the way that we praise and worship and learn and serve– separately.
And Jesus never talked about race and he wouldn't have. Race did not exist. Persons were not described, prejudged or stereotyped based on the social coloring of skin. Yes, persons were discriminated against but it wasn't because of race. It is chronologically impossible to suggest that the first century gospels or early Church letters talked about or made mention of a concept created in the sixteenth century.
And we do talk about race. In fact, we sing about it: Jesus loves the little children/ all the children of the world/ red and yellow, black and white/ they're all precious in his sight/ Jesus loves the little children of the world. But, this is not how Jesus loves children. This is how we love "them" and teach our children to love "them"– according to the social coloring of skin. We place them into these social categories and thus, incorporate racial formation into our teachings about Jesus Christ and his love. We are singing about Jesus and talking about race. We are creating distinctions, separating persons according to the social coloring of skin like loads of laundry– light and dark. This is not the unconditional love of God but this is how race loves us.
Discipleship is done in relationship. We learn about the love and life, the ministry and message of Jesus Christ and likewise, the commitment of a disciple by watching other disciples. But, we also learn prejudice and stereotypes in relationship as we are not born with a foreknowledge of race because we are not predestined to become socially colored beings. We draw this "color line" around our sacred spaces but we can erase it by practicing the boundless love and acceptance of Jesus Christ who did not allow social categories to prevent him from eating with the undesirables of his day. We should not allow society to tell us who we can be seen with and who we can serve.
The call to discipleship is not discriminatory: "Whosoever will, let them come" (Revelations 22.17). A gospel that includes race is no good news at all; it is a "different gospel" and does not offer a new kind of life. I am told that "the ground around the cross is wondrously level" so if any one group be elevated then how can Christ be lifted up?
Jesus prayed this prayer because there were already divisions among the believers. He prays for a unity that allows for the diversity seen in the Holy Community,"a diversity in persons while maintaining essential unity." Jesus prayed that they would become indivisible and whole. The number one often represents and is symbolic of unity, agreement, harmony and interdependency. It means sameness in nature, kind or condition. But, one is problematic for race in that there is only one category and it includes everyone.
But, in Christ, there is no majority or minority, no center or marginalized, no insiders or outsiders, no citizens or aliens. No one is foreign in Christ, counted numerically or categorized culturally. But, we are all one in Christ and Christ is in all.
The name of Christ then includes all and is the name for inclusivity. There is no diversity of souls. We are one Body of Christ as the prayer did not divide us or section us off. Jesus prayed the same prayer for all and we are Christ's answer to this prayer. We need only become it. For when we become "completed into one," then the world will know that God sent Jesus. Our unity will be proof that Jesus is the Savior. This is what is at stake and it won't be accomplished so long as we are divided into socially constructed categories. This is why the gospel of Jesus Christ was and is and will remain race-less. This is the new kind of life that Jesus came to offer his disciples. Amen.

A short drive away from Aphrodite Hills is Pissouri Beach and Village. They avoid being over touristy even in high season and offer a chance to see the traditional character of Paphos; one all too often missed by visitors to the island.
There is also the beautiful, child-friendly Beach Club, just minutes down the coast. Aphrodite Hills offer a shuttle to and from the beach, taking a scenic route through the Cyprus countryside, past acres of vineyards.
There's also the Dream Team Soccer School which kids constantly praise as the highlight of the holiday, where there's the chance to improve skills through professional coaching, whilst making friends and having fun in the sun. Tennis coaches are also available for the kids if football isn't their thing, minimum age 5 years.

Q: In Python how do you pop the first n elements of a list and append these to a new list? How do I pop the first n elements of a list and append these to a different list?
so, for example.
mylist = []
n = 3
mainlist = [5,4,3,2,1]

How would I make it so I have
mainlist = [2,1]

mylist = [5,4,3]

I've tried the following but it doesn't work as the placement of the elements are changing after each loop:
for i in list(range(n)):
    mylist.append(mainlist.pop(i))

A: You could just slice the list:
mainlist = [5,4,3,2,1]
n = 3
mainlist, mylist= a[:n], a[n:]

Keep in mind that for slicing, the first index is inclusive, while the second is exclusive, so mainlist wouldn't contain index 3 but mylist would.

A: You can do slicing and del.
Slicing to obtain first n elements.
del to delete first n elements.
mainlist = [5,4,3,2,1]
lst = mainlist[:3]
del mainlist[:3]

A: The following code will append the first two elements from list1 to the list2:
list1 = ['a','b','c','d']
list2 = []

for i in list1[:2]:
    list2.append(i)

print(list2)

Cheers!

A: None of the other answers change the list in place.
It needs very little modification of the original code, just change the .pop(i) to .pop(0), because each time you remove the first element.
   for i in list(range(n)):
        mylist.append(mainlist.pop(0))

I'm not alone in expressing refusal to vote for that guy.
No, you certainly aren't. Just because I liked Clinton doesn't mean I have to like Joe.
Do I think it's a good idea to replace Trump with a terrible Democrat? Just because he's a Democrat?
Do I think that Joe Biden would be a better president than Trump? Not necessarily. He's a bumbling inept fool.
Likely a one term president because he's older than dirt and because he'd be an utter failure as a president, prompting the election of another Republican in 2024.
I'd rather see Trump go ahead and destroy the economy in his second term and the Republican Party along with it.
Pretty nearly any candidate besides Biden would be okay with me. I'm hoping those sensible folks up in Iowa will see it more or less the way I see it. It's up to the primary voters but the way I see it Biden is as big a fraud as Trump.
I won't vote for him.
Just remember folks, we're also voting for Congress and we HAVE to get rid of Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate Majority.
If we fail, it won't matter if we win POTUS or not.
#312665 - 06/25/19 03:55 AM Re: Is it too soon to be talking 2020? [Re: chunkstyle]
Actually, Biden with a Democratic Senate and House would not be that bad. He would get some qualified advisers and actually listen to them, so he would not be wrecking everything he touches. He would also probably sign anything congress sent him. Not inspiring leadership, but not disasterous either. And as lame as he is, I think he probably understands that Putin and Kim are not out best buddies.
In any case, I don't think we can personally afford to sit back and watch Trump in what his supporters call "payback mode" for another four years.
Bannon: Trump will be in payback mode if he wins in 2020
If anyone else can afford it, good for them but I think most of us can't.
#312676 - 06/26/19 02:46 AM Re: Is it too soon to be talking 2020? [Re: pondering_it_all]
What, Like Obama?
Would Biden get more third way types that want to kneecap progressives for conservatives like Rahm Emanual gleefully did?
Geitner 'foaming the runway' for his fellow white collar banking grifters while millions lost their homes?
Yes. Please.
I'm of the opinion that the Democratic party needs to be destroyed. There will be no chance for progressives to have a shot at the controls until centrists prove themselves utterly impotent and ineffective to the economic/ political realities they have divorced themselves from for most Americans.
The gift of distraction from Mueller and the Russian hysteria has allowed the neoliberals to largely escape any meaningful critique.
Hopefully, Joe Biden will be the rope for the party to hang themselves with.
Hopefully someone will take away his undeserved lead in the polls because I see exactly what you do and it's not a scenario I want to contemplate. Biden will be a disaster.
I'd rather see the party reformed than destroyed.
#312681 - 06/26/19 12:16 PM Re: Is it too soon to be talking 2020? [Re: Greger]
Our economic, military and political realities today are nothing I wanted to contemplate but here we are.
At a certain point you realize that there is no salvaging of the democratic party. Having become, as one writer put it, 'one of two factions of the corporate wing'.
For every hopeful green shoot that appears the power structures within the party weed it out to maintain their grip.
When the progressive left decided to ask how come there are so many conservative, corporate stooges, like Lipinski or Manchin, in what had been or still is heavily democratic districts and focus their upcoming efforts on those seats instead of trying to flip red to blue districts, club Dem had an answer. No primary challenges will be tolerated!
What I hate about these party hacks is that there records suck! Yet here we are being admonished to vote for the sake of whatever they got.
Already, tarps are being removed from the hectoring horns. The very soul of the nation is at stake and you will be responsible for the end of the great American experiment and all the promise it held if you sit out or vote third party in the coming election.
I can hear the cries of 'IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!' now.
On the flip side the recognition that there is no route to reform within the party may very well lead to alternatives being established. Already, there are alternative funding sources now established to deal with the frat boys hoarding all the campaign money for them and their ilk.
I suspect that blockading progressives from hiring campaign shops will result in alternative campaign shops, outside the influence of the DNC, to be formed.
Ditto with the media's near blackout of left wing commentators or arguments getting aired.
This may be the silver lining and start of something better than what the Democrats represent now.
I don't see how this could have happenned last night without these alternative support structures:
Caban for the win!
Caban would have had her knees broke by Emanual before 2016, I would confidently guess.
"But this election has ramifications beyond the reform movement, and beyond Queens. As others have pointed out, the Democratic establishment in New York and Washington was shocked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's upset victory over Crowley last year; for much of the campaign, Crowley didn't even bother to show his face. That was not true this time; the establishment aggressively backed Katz—the whole Queens congressional delegation endorsed her, except for Ocasio-Cortez—but it wasn't enough to beat Cabán, who had an army of small donors behind her."
A more nuanced view
It's encouraging to see, but I'm not gonna read too much into it. She was the better candidate and it was a lot of the same voters who sent AOC to Washington. A lot of people are sick of the Democratic machine and its kowtowing to corporate interests, but not enough to make a difference nationwide yet.

Trump Suggests He Has 'Interesting' Details On Roswell In Lighthearted Interview As Son Grills Him About Aliens
OPINION | This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Natalia Kay
In a lighthearted, Father's Day-themed video interview, Trump was grilled by his son Trump Jr., on a variety of topics, including potential U.S. government secrets about aliens.
During the interview, Trump suggested he knew "interesting" information about Roswell, N.M. — the site of a 1947 crash that has touched off conspiracy theories about an alien spacecraft ever since, according to Fox News.
"Before you leave office, will you let us know if there's aliens? Because this is the only thing I really want to know. I want to know what's going on. Would you ever open up Roswell and let us know what's going on there?" Trump Jr. asked.
"So many people ask me that question," the president said. "There are millions and millions of people that want to go there, that want to see it. I won't talk to you about what I know about it but it's very interesting. But Roswell is a very interesting place with a lot of people that would like to know what's going on."
When further questioned about whether he would ever declassify details about Roswell, the president said, "I'll have to think about that one."
"After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena," a Pentagon spokeswoman said about the footage's release.
"DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos," she added. "The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as 'unidentified.'"
"In some cases, I think it's good. In your case, just get rid of it," the president told his son.
More from Fox News:
It's unclear what the pair were referring to when discussing the potential of opening up Roswell — the city itself has a booming tourism industry and the one military base in the area was closed during the Vietnam War. Area 51, an Air Force base in Nevada, is a highly classified location that many have speculated could hold secrets about aliens.
The Pentagon earlier this year released unclassified footage showing "unidentified aerial phenomena" of military encounters with other aircraft that behaved in a way that one pilot told the New York Times was "like nothing I've ever seen."
Trump Jr. also asked the president whether he would consider pardoning "Tiger King" star Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic. Trump said he had seen some episodes of the show, noting that Joe Exotic is "quite a character" and saying "that's a whole strange deal."
Trump would not commit to pardoning Maldonado-Passage, who was sentenced earlier this year to 22 years in prison for a murder-for-hire plot.

Le lingue celebiche, anche definite lingue sulawesi (nomi che derivano dall'isola di Sulawesi che in epoca coloniale venne chiamata  Celebes), formano un ramo del gruppo di lingue maleo-polinesiache della famiglia austronesiana.
Occorre premettere che l'esistenza di questo gruppo non è accettata da tutti gli studiosi.

Classificazione
Secondo Ethnologue, le lingue che formano il gruppo sono 64, che vengono ripartite nei seguenti 4 sottogruppi, a loro volta suddivisi in ulteriori raggruppamenti (tra parentesi il numero di lingue che costituiscono ciascun sottogruppo)[tra parentesi quadra, per le lingue, il codice internazionale di classificazione:
 Lingue celebiche orientali (33)
Lingue saluan-banggai (6)
Lingue saluan-banggai orientali (2)
Lingua balantak  [blz]
Lingua banggai  [bgz]
Lingue saluan-banggai occidentali (4)
Lingue saluan (3)
Lingua andio  [bzb]
Lingue celebiche sud-orientali (27)
Lingue bungku-tolaki (15)
Lingue muna-buton (12)
Lingue kaili-pamona (16)
Lingue kaili-pamona settentrionali (10)
Lingue kaili-pamona meridionali (6)
Lingue tomini-tolitoli (10)
Lingue tolitoli (2)
Lingua boano  [bzl]
Lingua totoli  [txe]
Lingue tomini (8)
Lingue tomini settentrionali (3)
Lingue tomini meridionali (5)
Lingue wotu-wolio (5)
Lingue kalao] (2)
Lingua kalao  [kly]
Lingua laiyolo  [lji]
Lingue wolio-kamaru (2)
Lingua kamaru  [kgx]
Lingua wolio  [wlo]
Lingua wotu  [wtw]
Tutte queste lingue sono parlate a Sulawesi e nelle isole vicine.

Le lingue celebiche costituiscono uno dei sottogruppi più importanti (in termini di lingue parlate) del gruppo di lingue maleo-polinesiache occidentali.

Un'ipotesi controversa
La proposta di un gruppo di lingue celebiche che riunisce le lingue parlate nel sud dell'isola, si deve al linguista Van den Berg (1996), sulla base dell'evoluzione fonologica comune. Mead, però, ha dimostrato nel 1996, che questa evoluzione è una caratteristica regionale di Sulawesi, e si è prodotta dopo, e non prima della separazione dei sottogruppi, per cui la ricerca più recente sembra invalidare l'esistenza del gruppo.

Holistic Education (taken from theinfed.org website) is a science-based comprehensive education to be yourself, something that may seem obvious, although does not always take first priority in current education systems. It is based on the idea that each child finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to spiritual values such as love and peace. Holistic education aims to extract from the child a fundamental respect for life and a passionate love of learning. This is done, not through an academic "curriculum" that condenses the world into instructional packages, but through direct engagement with the environment.
Holistic education nurtures a sense of curiosity. Montessori, for example, spoke of "cosmic" education: Help the person feel part of the wholeness of the universe, and learning will naturally be enchanted and inviting. There is no one best way to accomplish this goal, there are many paths of learning and the holistic educator values them all as what is appropriate for some children and may not be best for others. The art of holistic education lies in its responsiveness to the diverse learning styles and needs of evolving human beings. Quite simply, the current nursery and school model is not up to the capabilities and needs of its pupils today as they have evolved faster than the actual system. In some systems today, emotion and creativity is punished and automatic behaviour of an industrial mass production is rewarded.
Holistic education seeks to give a twist to the current system to prioritize other issues. Although the teacher is the expert on the subject, the teacher does not know everything ... there is so much to learn from children provided that appropriate channels are established for mutual feedback. By readapting the education level of the child, considering their knowledge and experience, leading the child as opposed to telling them what to do or how to think, it will be much easier to safeguard the child's individuality and creativity and build bridges between what is known and what is to be taught. Without those bridges, often the wall that stands between teacher and pupil is not reached and collapses.
Education (taken from theschoolmotivator.com) derives from the verb educe, which means "to draw forth from within." The original teaching method of Socrates of drawing from within has been largely displaced by professorial deference to received scholarly authority. Students are taught how to take exams but not how to think, write or find their own path.
The verbal form is educare from educere, which, in turn comes from "ducere" "to lead or draw out." It also means to rear or bring up. The noun education first appeared in the 16th century in English. In Italian, the word still means "upbringing" rather than "instruction".
School derives from the Greek language σχολή (scholē), originally meaning "leisure" and also "that in which leisure to learn and develop is employed", although later this evolved into the Latin word "Scola" which took on the meaning "place of instruction" it then developed in the Old English language to Scol which today we would recognize as "school" we almost immediately began using it in the figurative sense of "an environment which teaches through experience"
In order to have a good education and school, experimentation and the real understanding of these words is paramount.

management; Affordable Care Act and SoonerCare insurance program enrollment; substance abuse counseling and treatment; and referrals for specialty care. Transportation is also provided.
Because uninsured families are the fastest growing percentage of homeless people in metro Oklahoma City,Community Health's homeless health care services model was expanded in recent years to include a Women and Children's Health Access program ("WCHAP") component, which is only partially funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Today, homeless women and children are seen by a medical professional not only at the midtown program site, but also at the following Oklahoma City homeless shelter sites: Jordan's Crossing, an in-patient substance abuse treatment facility for mothers and children; YWCA, domestic violence shelter and transitional housing provider; Salvation Army Family Shelter; and Positive Tomorrows, school for homeless children.
Without this program, women, children and families would not have ready access to quality primary healthcare, complex laboratory services and preventive health services such as Pap smears, mammograms and well-child examinations. Women and children would suffer long waits at area emergency rooms at a higher cost to the community.
It is imperative that we continue to provide medical services to this vulnerable population; however, we need your help to continue to make this possible. Your contribution will allow us to continue to provide quality health care to those who are most in need. Please donate now!

PH logs 3K Covid-19 recoveries; active cases down to 21K
MANILA – The nation's total number of recovered coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases has reached 2,758,235 after 3,152 new recoveries were reported on Sunday.
In its latest case bulletin, the Department of Health (DOH) noted that recoveries account for 97.6 percent of the total case count which has reached 2,826,410 since the start of the pandemic last year.
Meanwhile, some 2,227 new infections brought the total number of active cases nationwide to 21,101.
About 56.9 percent of these active cases are mild, 4.4 percent are asymptomatic, 5.5 percent are critical, 13 percent are severe, and 20.30 percent are moderate.
The DOH also tallied 175 new deaths, bringing the country's Covid-19 fatalities to 47,074.
According to DOH data on Nov. 19, about 2.8 percent of 39,874 who were tested turned out positive for Covid-19.
"About 125 duplicates were removed from the total case count, and of these, 107 are recoveries and 4 are deaths. Moreover, 147 cases that were previously tagged as recoveries were reclassified as deaths after final validation," it added.
All laboratories were operational on Nov. 19 while two laboratories were not able to submit their data to the Covid-19 Document Repository System.
The DOH noted the two non-reporting laboratories contribute, on average, 1.5 percent of samples tested, and 0.5 percent of positive individuals based on data in the last 14 days.
To date, 31 percent of 3,700 intensive care unit beds, 28 percent of 19,800 isolation beds, 18 percent of 13,300 ward beds, and 18 percent of 3,100 ventilators are utilized by patients with Covid-19 nationwide.
Meanwhile, 31 percent of 1,300 intensive care unit beds, 25 percent of 4,700 isolation beds, 23 percent of 4,000 ward beds, and 20 percent of 1,000 ventilators dedicated to patients with Covid-19 are in use in the National Capital Region. (PNA)
