Q: gnuplot is doubling x axis labels for some reason So I'm using gnuplot to plot some data over time, and I want the bottom axis to be time in hours. There should only be 4-5 hour marks on the x axis, but because the data is so spread out gnuplot seems to want to duplicate each point (probably wanting some minutes data to fill the gaps).
So it looks like this on the x axis:
hours: 0 0 1 1  2   2   3  3   4 4
But should look like this:
hours: 0 1 2 3 4
Is there a setting I can flip to tell it to not duplicate the x axis values?
Here is the .plt file's contents (shortened):
clear
print ""
set terminal pngcairo transparent enhanced font "arial,25"             -    -    -   fontscale 1.0 size 1920, 1080
set key outside bottom center box title "spiders in my house over time" enhanced
set key maxrows 4
set key font ",25" spacing 1 samplen 2.9 width 2 height 1
set xlabel "Time (hours)" offset -35 font ",30"
set ylabel "% Average number of spiders (100 means house is filled)" font ",30"

set output "spiders.png"
set title "Average spiders in my house" font ",35"
set datafile separator ","
set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
set xtics format "%H" font ",25"
set ytics font ",25"

set style line 1 lt 1 lc rgb "red" lw 4
show style line
starting_time = 8631

plot "spider_data.csv" using (timecolumn(1)-starting_time):2 every ::3 ls 1 t "SPIDERS AHHH" with lines

Now if I change set xtics format "%H" font ",25" to `set xtics format "%H:%M" font ",25"' then it stops duplicating, but that doesn't really fix the problem of wanting only hour ticks.
The .csv file has time, val format.

A: You must set the xtics properly. In the default settings, when the total timespan is less than e.g. four hours, the tics resolution is less than one hour, but cannot be displayed because of your settings set xtics format "%H".
The xtics increment is set in seconds, you in order to have tics only at full hours, use set xtics 60*60.
This is shown in the following example:
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
set xdata time
set xtics format "%H"

set multiplot layout 2,1
plot 'data.txt' using 1:3 with lines

set xtics 60*60
replot
unset multiplot

With data.txt being:
2013-08-25 18:45:11 100
2013-08-25 19:11:23 200
2013-08-25 20:00:32 400
2013-08-25 21:00:32 300

the result is:

Would have been nice, if you had provided such a minimal data file and the wrong result image.

A: I ended up "solving" this by just adding minute info. Not quite what I wanted, but it'll do.
set xtics format "%H:%M"

A: you can specifically set the position of the xtics like this:
set xtics 10.,1.,20.

this will put tics in the interval of 18 to 20 with a distance of 1 between them. i.e. 10,11,12,13,...,18,19,20

The More Options window allows you to set even more CineMaster features, most of which are undocumented. Most of the features have a default setting. If in trouble, always try going back to the *default* setting.
When the decoder decodes the Video frames, it always decodes the next frame in memory, and then it waits for exactly the right time to switch the image to the foreground for the smoothest possible frame flip. This setting is card specific and requires a bit of experimenting. With most cards the default setting works well. Also, a word of warning, the Soft-DeInterlace setting may in fact lower image quality with certain cards (Voodoo 3 was mentioned by one of the users), so in such cases try the default setting.
Akin to the Surface Flip Mode, this setting is card specific and experimenting may be required for the best quality setting.
This setting determines how the sound is modified for best quality. In my opinion the default setting sounds best, but feel free to experiment.
This settings allow you to select the Audio DownMix used to play Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks. Some sound cards will support 4-Speaker output, while others won't.
Most DVD Movies have more than 2 channels of audio. This audio needs to be downsampled to 2 channels so all the audio channels may be heard on your sound card. This setting determines the downsampling quality. Lower quality may mean a slightly faster decode time, however, I strongly recommend keeping the best quality enabled.
This setting controls the visibility of the SP/DIF setting in the CineMaster 2000 user interface.
Certain audio cards support digital audio-out through either a coax or optical SP/DIF port. With this setting you can tell the CineMaster engine which sound card you wish to use for the digital output. Please note that different versions of the CineMaster engine have switched the order of this settings, so you may need to play around with this setting to find the correct one.
Adjust the Audio Range frequency. I believe this option is ignored if the Dialog Normalization check box is enabled.
Normalize the dialog (voices) volume.
Certain Display Adaptors drivers lie to the software layer about their readiness to accept new images. This is useful in 3D games where you want the fastest possible image. However for DVD video where you want the smoothest video, this is problematic. So try enabling this option if you get screen pixelization or a lot of screen tearing.
This is a feature required when using an i740 based Display Adaptor.
I was told that this feature is being ignored by the recent CineMaster versions. Originally, it used to take more video memory in order to generate another video image for smoother page flipping. Enabling this feature can't hurt.
Certain Display Adaptors require this feature to be enabled, the Preset button attempts to enable it for these cards. In most cards it should be disabled.
Certain Display Adaptors require this feature to be enabled, the Preset button attempts to enable it for these cards. On some NVIDIA cards, enabling this feature may cause image blurring. So if you have a card based on an NVIDIA chipset, and the image appears blurred, try disabling this feature.
This feature is required by the Intel i810/i815 chipsets.
This feature is currently only required by cards based on the ATI chipsets.
When enabled, CineMaster will try to synchronize the image updates with the screen refresh. This will enable smoother camera pans. Make sure to set your display adaptor to it's highest refresh rate allowed by the Monitor for the smoothest panning effects.
This feature is used only by the Matrox G400 display adaptor. I believe it has something to do with the unique way in which the G400 card uses it's second CRT (display) unit to output the DVD image to a secondary external device.
I am not entirely sure of it's usage, it may be part of the 4-Speaker support under the CineMaster engine, but it may not do anything right now.
Enable the Digital SP/DIF output. Required by the newer versions of the CineMaster engine when outputting to the SP/DIF port.
This feature is required by several display adaptors. The CineMaster engine uses a separate DirectShow thread to display the DVD image. This may also have some benefits for usage-load under multi-processor systems running an NT based operating system.
Newer versions of the CineMaster engine store some of their setting in the DevDB sub-section. This means that some of the settings you select will be ignored while the DevDB sub keys exist!
To combat this, you can use this button to remove these keys and force CineMaster to use the supplied settings. You make want to export this key using a registry editor (for backup). And if all else fails, reinstalling CineMaster should return functionability.


On 24 April this year the installation was completed for the radio transmission system in the new Martwą Wisłą Road Tunnel in Gdańsk with 2 tubes and a length of 1420 meter. Radiopartners also supplied a small TETRA system.
The tunnel is now equipped with a TETRA repeater system that was delivered by RadioPartners, using components of leading companies such as See Telecom, EUPEN, Sepura and Simoco.
Due to the length of the tunnel and its location, at the bottom of the river, a number of technical solutions for increased reliability under all conditions were used. The radio signal is fed to the radiating cables radiating from both ends of the tunnel simultaneously.
The installation also supports communications for the Police, Ambulance Service and State Fire Service. Additionally a public radio frequency FM tuner, with automatic and manual transmission warning messages to the receivers of vehicles passing through the tunnel is transmitted.
Also an important supplemental radio system, designed for the daily operation of the tunnel has been installed. This is a small one channel trunked TETRA system, equipped with an interface to the telephone network and surveillance system.
The installation of the repeater has been positively received by the service and tested in practice during the exercise preceding the opening of the tunnel for vehicles.


So you've decided you want to embrace your facial hair and go for a full-on beard, but it's not quite as simple as binning the razor. Creating and maintaining a beard takes a bit of work. We've rounded up what you need to know before saying ciao to clean-shaven.
If you don't have a healthy diet, you might not have a healthy beard. Hair growth is affected by nutrition, so try taking a daily supplement that's high in iron, calcium and zinc.
Testosterone production varies, but there are natural ways you can help boost yours. Get plenty of sleep, make sure you're getting enough calories, and do some weight-lifting.
If you really can't grow a thick beard and you want to, Minoxidil (a drug used for baldness) can be an option. See the Superdrug Online Doctor Service for more details.
Combing or brushing your beard will plump up the natural volume and distribute the hair evenly so that it covers up any thinner patches.
Just like the hair on your head, if you let your beard get too dry and damaged, it won't grow properly and could even break off. A two-in-one beard conditioner and moisturiser will nourish your hair, making it softer (and way nicer to kiss), and moisturise your skin, ridding it of any beard flaking.

Q: Launch and control a script written in Python in PHP application The basis of the problem.
I want to create (actually I almost done) application to manage a match and I need to do simple timer. Application is created in PHP. I get all the pros and cons for me and I have decided to create this timer in Python and run it on a server ..but I'm not familiar with Python, yet :)
The basic concept is to have web services in PHP to:

*

*start timer with passed value (in seconds) and match id. Web service start Python script and get process ID.

*simple function to get current timer value from running program

*pause/stop function, send command to already running program to get current value and kill program.
The script should send a request to web service on time out.

I'm running Python 3.2.3 and PHP 5.x (I use Laravel). Working with Windows 7 in development environment and Raspbian Whezzy in production environment.
What I have done.
I have super simple Python timer script (currently only tested on Windows)
import sys, json, time

timer = None
matchId = None
active = 1

try:
    data = json.loads(sys.argv[1])
except:
    print("ERROR")
    sys.exit(1)

timer = data[0]
matchId = data[1]

while timer and active:
    timer -= 1;
    time.sleep(1)

if active:
    # call web service
    print("Time out [ID:" + str(matchId) +"]")
else:
    print("Timer has stopped, current value " + str(timer))

My PHP web service to start timer
public function postRun($time, $matchId){
        $scriptPath = public_path().$this->envSlash.'python'.$this->envSlash.'timer.py';
        $data = array($time, $matchId);
        $attr = escapeshellarg(json_encode($data));
        $cmd = "$this->python $scriptPath $attr &";
        exec("$cmd", $output);
        print_r($output);
}

The question is:

*

*My script is not running in the background. I found a solution to add & on the end to run process in the background but what with Windows?

*How can I get control of my timer? In both Windows and Linux environment.

*How can I create functions to return current value of my timer and stop timer?

Is better concept to do that?

A: I have solved my problem.
I have not found a solution how to control my timer using PID or something, than I decide to "send a message" to/from my script using simple file.
I call my timer without change to previous version. If I want to stop my timer I create a file with my timer ID (match ID) and 'stop' (eg '5stop'), than I save current timer - actually I do it all the time, and call web service which is telling me about this event. When I need to check current value I will check value of another file, that is my 'message' from my script to PHP app.
I did't call my web services from Python so far, but I think this is not difficult.
I also tried do it with PHP pthreads extension (as proposed to me in the comments) but with no success. Maybe I did something wrong but this threads working synchronously for me and I don't know how to check current timer value from another device.
Maybe it will be helpful for someone so I put the script below.
import sys, json, time
import logging, datetime
import os

def saveCurrentTime(time):
    currentTimeFile = open(currentTimeFileName, 'w')
    currentTimeFile.write(str(timer))
    currentTimeFile.close()
    return

def checkActiveStatus():
    if os.path.exists(timerStopFileName):
        return 0
    else:
        return 1

now = datetime.datetime.now()
script_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

LOG_FILENAME = 'python/log/' + now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + '.log' #server config
#LOG_FILENAME = 'log/' + now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + '.log' #local test
logging.basicConfig(filename=LOG_FILENAME,level=logging.DEBUG,)
logging.info(now.strftime("%H:%M:%S") + ' New Timer has been started')

timer = None
matchId = None
active = 1
currentTimeFileName = None
timerStopFileName = None
#timerStatusFileName = None

storageRelativePath = '/../../app/storage/timer/'
#storagePath = os.path.join(script_dir, storageRelativePath)
storagePath = script_dir + storageRelativePath

# active = getTimerStatus(matchId)

try:
    data = json.loads(sys.argv[1])
except:
    logging.exception('Can not retrieve arguments. Script will be terminated.')
    print("ERROR")
    sys.exit(1)

timer = data[0]
matchId = data[1]
logging.info(now.strftime("%H:%M:%S") + ' Created Timer [time: ' + str(timer) + ', match: ' + str(matchId) + ']')

currentTimeFileName = storagePath + str(matchId) + "timer"
timerStopFileName = storagePath + str(matchId) + "stop"
#timerStatusFileName = storagePath + str(matchId) + "status"

while timer and active:
    timer -= 1
    saveCurrentTime(timer)
    active = checkActiveStatus()
    time.sleep(1)

if active:
    print("Time out [ID:" + str(matchId) +"]")
    #call web service
else:
    if os.path.isfile(timerStopFileName):
        os.remove(timerStopFileName)
    elif os.path.isdir(timerStopFileName):
        os.rmdir(timerStopFileName)
    print("Timer has stopped, current value " + str(timer))
    #call web service

I hope it will work properly with the entire system. So far, it works with my tests.
Enjoy.

Although many people know that qualifying veterans can receive disability benefits for injuries or illnesses sustained or aggravated during service, few are aware that the VA offers a wide range of services and benefits besides disability benefits.
For help determining whether you or a loved one qualifies for these types of benefits, please contact an experienced Hobart VA benefits attorney who can explain your legal options.
Veterans who served in the active military, air, or naval service, who were not dishonorably discharged and who have access to their wage and financial information may qualify for VA healthcare benefits. Veterans who enlisted after the fall of 1980, or who fulfilled their active duty requirements after the fall of 1981, however, will also need to provide evidence that their service lasted for two years, or for the full period of time for which they were called.
Available benefits include not only primary care, but also preventive care, which includes cancer screenings, and specialty care, such as psychiatric assistance. The medical benefits package offered by the VA also includes:
Access to low-cost prescription medications;
Help covering the cost of medical equipment and prosthetics; and
Extended care services, geriatric health programs, and home healthcare services.
Qualifying veterans are also granted access to prenatal care, maternity coverage, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and other gender-specific benefits. Additionally, veterans who can provide evidence of service in a combat zone qualify for access to Vet Centers across the U.S., which offer referral services, outreach programs, and free counseling. These services may also be available to the family members of qualifying veterans.
VA Benefits Available to Dependents
Besides providing benefits to eligible veterans, the VA also offers services and benefits to the dependents of former servicemen and women who were seriously injured or killed while in the line of duty. Available services include monthly disability payments, career guidance and job training services, access to healthcare, and education and training opportunities. For help determining whether your loved ones qualify for VA benefits, please contact our office today.
Education and Employment Benefits
In addition to qualifying for monthly disability benefits, many veterans are also eligible to receive education and training services, which are intended to help veterans transition to post-military life by covering the cost of tuition, books, and housing for further education. Although these benefits can be applied to gain traditional college degrees, they can also be used to defray the cost of obtaining certification, licensing, or apprenticeships, as well as on-the-job training. Veterans and their family members who need assistance with job placement may also benefit from the VA's training and vocational rehabilitation programs.
Call a Hobart VA Benefits Attorney Today
If you served your country in a military capacity and have been discharged, you could qualify for a wide range of benefits. To find out more about applying for these benefits, or appealing a denial, please contact dedicated Hobart VA benefits attorney James R. Comerford at The Comerford Law Office, LLC today.

Soup Can Theatre is excited to announce the return of HERETIC; a modern theatrical retelling of the story of Joan of Arc from rising indie star, Sarah Thorpe (Love is a Poverty You Can Sell, Marat/Sade, No Exit). After presenting a critically-acclaimed workshop production in April 2015, Thorpe has revised and developed the work and will once again take to the stage to bring one of history's most compelling and emblematic characters to life in a new and expanded production.
While only a young teenager, Joan of Arc (the anglicized version of her proper name, Jeanne D'Arc), the illiterate daughter of modest peasants, began to hear what she believed to be divine voices who instructed her to lead the French forces against the English in the ongoing Hundred Year's War. With many of her countrymen convinced of her claim to be a force sent by God, she was embraced by the nobility and the military elite, and became both a leader on the front lines of battle – donning the same masculine garments and armour as her male counterparts – and an inspirational figurehead across France. After making pivotal gains against the English, she was ultimately captured and charged with heresy for her declarations of supernatural communication – and for wearing men's clothes. Despite putting up an impassioned and theologically profound defense, she was found guilty by the English-led court and burned at the stake, forever cementing her status as a martyr and a legend.
HERETIC illuminates this iconic character in a fresh new light by presenting Joan not as a religious saint or zealot, but as a complex and headstrong yet fallible young woman who dared to declare herself an equal, challenged the patriarchal power structure of the time, and remained unwavering in her principles despite the ultimate consequences.
Praise for HERETIC:
"A Stunning One-Woman Show that Picks your Brain" – The Theatre Reader
"A Fantastic Performance … Gritty, Ambitious, and Raw" – Broadway World
"Bold … Thorpe is Compelling … One of the Many Reasons I Love Indie Theatre" – The Slotkin Letter

Q: Reactjs and axios. Delete object from json database I have a hardcoded json database.
file db.json
"persons": [

    {
      "name": "ss",
      "number": "ssssd",
      "id": 17
    },
    {
      "name": "ddd",
      "number": "6tyhhth",
      "id": 18
    },
    {
      "name": "almejas",
      "number": "1234",
      "id": 19
    },
    {
      "name": "pailo",
      "number": "244",
      "id": 20
    }
  ]
}

I want to create a button to delete the entries. The button is created but I am failing to delete the entries by pressing it.
I create the button:
File:Person.js
import React from 'react'
//deleteContact props are also needed when adding the delete button
const Person = ({ person, deleteContact }) => {
   console.log("person.js props "+person.id)

    return (

        {person.name} {person.number}
        <button onClick={deleteContact}>Delete {person.id} </button>

    )
  }

  export default Person

And here is where I don't know how to implement the delete function.
File: app.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import Person from './components/Person'
import Form from './components/Form'
import Filter from './components/Filter'

import FilterResults from './components/FilterResults'
import contactService from './services/persons'

//npm run server

const App = () => {

  //Reminder: current state, function that updates it, initial state.

  const [ newName, setNewName ] = useState('')
  const [ newNumber, setNewNumber ] = useState('')
  const [contacts, setContacts] = useState([])
  //Filter
  const [ filter, setFilter ] = useState('')

  //contactService is importer from /services/persons.
  //.getAll is like typing: axios.get('http://localhost:3001/persons')

  //Effect hooks used to fetch data from the server. The data fetched is saved
  //into the contacts state variable
  useEffect(() => {

    contactService
    .getAll()
    .then(response => {
      setContacts(response.data)
    console.log(contacts)

  })

  }, [])
/*
  second parameter of useEffect is used to specify how often the effect
   is run. If the second parameter is an empty array [],
   then the effect is only run along with the first render of
   the component. */

  console.log('render', contacts.length, 'contacts')

  //adding new persons
  const addPerson = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault()
    /* complete the addPerson function for creating new persons */
    const personObject = {
      name: newName,
      number: newNumber,
      //The server will create the id
      //id: persons.length + 1,
    }

    //Adding the data to the server
    /*
    using separate server comunication module from persons.js
     "create" instead of previous code:
    axios
    .post('http://localhost:3001/persons', personObject)

    replaced by:

    contactService
    .create(personObject)
    */

    contactService
    //Passing personObject to create
    .create(personObject)
    .then(response => {
      console.log(response)
         //After concat, the fiel is set to blank again ('').
//Updating state after creating, to display created contact.
    setContacts(contacts.concat(personObject))
    setNewName('')
    setNewNumber('')
    })

  }
 //Delete contacts
 const deleteContact = (id) => {

}

  const handlePersonChange = (event) => {
    console.log(event.target.value)
    setNewName(event.target.value)
  }
  const handleNumberChange = (event) => {
    console.log(event.target.value)
    setNewNumber(event.target.value)
  }

  const handleFilterChange = (event) => {
    setFilter(event.target.value)
  }

  const personsToShow = filter === ''
    ? contacts
    : contacts.filter(person =>
        person.name.toLowerCase().includes(filter.toLowerCase()))
  const row_names = () => personsToShow.map(person =>

{person.name} {person.number}

  )

  return (

 <Filter value={filter} onChange={handleFilterChange} />

      <Form
      onSubmit={addPerson}
      name={{value: newName, onChange: handlePersonChange}}
      number={{value: newNumber, onChange: handleNumberChange}}
      deleteContacts={() => deleteContact()}

      />

Numbers from database

   {/*   The contents of the database are stored on the variable contacts.
     I map through the array. Person.js component used.  */}

      {contacts.map(person =>
      //Pass all the props from person to Person.js
          <Person
          key={person.id}
          person={person}
          deleteContact={person.id}

          />

        )}

Filter results

      <FilterResults persons={row_names()} />

  )
}

export default App

I don't understand how to do this but on the code above you see I tried this:
 //Delete contacts
 const deleteContact = (id) => {

}

Then I try to pass the id to deleteContact in the return statement

Numbers from database

   {/*   The contents of the database are stored on the variable contacts.
     I map through the array. Person.js component used.  */}

      {contacts.map(person =>
      //Pass all the props from person to Person.js
          <Person
          key={person.id}
          person={person}
          deleteContact={person.id}

          />

        )}

The axios logic is on a separate module. persons.js
import axios from 'axios'
const baseUrl = 'http://localhost:3001/persons'

 const getAll = () => {
  return axios.get(baseUrl)
}
//url to post, and what to post, in that case, the object posted is personobject
const create = personObject => {
  return axios.post(baseUrl, personObject)
}
const deleteContact = (id)=>{
  const request = axios.delete('{$baseUrl}/${id}')
  return request.then(response =>response.data)
  }
/* const update = (id, personObject) => {
  return axios.put(`${baseUrl}/${id}`, personObject)
} */

export default {
  getAll: getAll,
  create: create,
  deleteContact: deleteContact,
  /* update: update  */
}

getAll works and create. deleteContact, does not.
What I don't understand is how do I get the ID of the entry I want to delete and pass it to axios so the object with that ID is deleted from db.json

A: Inside Person.js you can delete by using a callback to get the id
<button onClick={()=>deleteContact(person.id)}>Delete {person.id} </button>
import React from 'react'
import axios from 'axios'
const baseUrl = 'http://localhost:3001/persons'

const deleteContact = (id)=>{
  const request = axios.delete('{$baseUrl}/${id}')
  request.then(response =>response.data)
  }

const Person = ({ person, deleteContact }) => {
   console.log("person.js props "+person.id)

    return (

        {person.name} {person.number}
        <button onClick={()=>deleteContact(person.id)}>Delete {person.id} </button>

    )
  }

  export default Person

San Agustín es un poblado que se encuentra asentado en el municipio de Tlajomulco de Zúñiga en el estado de Jalisco, México. Su fundación se remonta a 1542, con población indígena de Aposol
y Juchipila; esta comunidad formó parte de las visitas del convento franciscano
de Guadalajara en un principio, y posteriormente fue parte de las doctrinas del
convento de Santiago de Tlajomulco (1551).

Ubicación

San Agustín, antes llamado Nicolás R. Casillas, en el municipio de Tlajomulco de Zúñiga en el estado de Jalisco, forma parte del valle de Toluquilla, con coordenadas 20°32´ de latitud norte y 103°27´de longitud oeste y 1594 metros sobre el nivel del mar. La forma más usual de llegar a este poblado es mediante el acceso de la carretera Guadalajara-Morelia, pasando el Club de golf Santa Anita.
Su fundación fue el año 1452

Territorio

El territorio considerado marca un semicírculo que tiene como diámetro la línea que va desde el Cerro de la Cuchilla al Cerro del Sapo, pasando por la población actual del poblado de San Agustín.

Primeros pobladores

Los grupos y mestizajes que se formaron en este territorio fueron:

 Tepehuanes

 Cocas

 Tarascos

 Toltecas

 Chichimecas

 Aztecas

Arqueología
Es muy abundante e importante lo referente a los lugares arqueológicos de la zona, pero los principales y más importantes son:

 La Loma: En el fraccionamiento Cortijo de San Agustín que comenzó a construirse en la década de los noventa, se encuentra un montículo con una pequeña construcción arquitectónica, lamentablemente ahora han puesto sobre esa construcción, una estructura moderna con la única finalidad, seguramente, de evitarse problemas en el momento de fraccionar. Se pueden observar en su parte más elevada pequeños montículos; y a lo largo de toda la superficie de este sitio se pueden encontrar diferentes objetos de origen prehispánico, como pueden ser: puntas de flecha, navajas de obsidiana, raspadores, tepalcates, y otros objetos de uso cotidiano. Cabe mencionar, que el sitio ha sufrió saqueos en varias ocasiones.

 El Cerro del Sapo: En este lugar a grandes rasgos existen algunas terrazas y pequeños montículos. También, se puede observar una estructura devastada. En la cima se encuentran pequeños montículos con algunas aglomeraciones de rocas de gran formato.

 El Cerro del Picacho.

 El Petroglifo: Entre los cerros de El Picacho y La Herradura, se encuentra una pieza de los objetos más relevantes de la zona. Un petroglifo llamado La Rosetta (también conocido como La Pata de Mula). Es una roca de basalto de forma semi-circular, que mide aproximadamente 3 metros de diámetro y 1 metro de grosor. En La Rosetta el uso de una concepción topológica diferente es inminente; todo el desarrollo tiene como base los círculos. Su entorno ha sufrido destrucción.

 El Cerro de la Herradura: En este cerro se localizan 4 terrazas, y cerca de la cima hay varios montículos de piedra, con vestigios de habitación y entierros. Existe información de que se encuentran, además, algunas tumbas pero no se puede obtener mucha información, y será difícil de lograrla, pues eso terrenos fueron trabajados para la cosecha de aguacate. También se han logrado rescatar diversas piezas como metates y vasijas de cerámica.
 La Acrópolis o Ciudad Perdida.
 Talleres de Pedernal y Obsidiana.
 El Saucillo: Existe una estructura formada de rocas, que los habitantes de la zona llaman La Pirámide. En los cerros contiguos a El Saucillo, tuvieron un origen volcánico y se encuentra en un extremo del Bosque de la Primavera. También existe un nacimiento de agua que probablemente ese fuera un factor importante para los asentamientos humanos en ese sitio. La Pirámide se encuentra semi destruida.
 Cerro de la Campana (semi destruida).
 Laberinto Cósmico (semi destruida).
 La Ocotera (semi destruida).
 Cerro de los Tabacos: Sobre la parte oriente, se encuentra una terraza cuyo borde está protegido por una trinchera de piedra con un diámetro de 15 metros. Sobresalen rocas semejando escalones, y acumulándose hacia la cima, simulando alguna estructura arquitectónica. Su estado es semi destruida.

Toponimia

El nombre indígena dado a un grupo importante de indios de esta zona fue Sapotepec que significa El cerro del Zapote' o El Cerro donde abundan los Sapotes''.

Orden de San Francisco

San Agustín formó parte de las visitas o doctrinas de la Orden de San Francisco en Analco o Guadalajara y posteriormente de Tlajomulco, los cuales después fundarían en el Seminario franciscano Colegio Seráfico.

Colegio Seráfico

A finales de 1942 se estableció el seminario franciscano Colegio Seráfico; aquí se inicia la formación de los jóvenes que desean ingresar a la Provincia Franciscana de San Francisco y Santiago Apóstol, siguiendo la secuencia del trabajo apostólico que se echó a cuestas la conquista espiritual de los indios.

Casa de Formación de los Franciscanos El Postulantado Franciscano, primera casa de formación de la Provincia Franciscana de los Santos Francisco y Santiago de Jalisco, se abrió el 30 de octubre de 1942, con 34 formandos (en ese tiempo era conocido como Colegio Seráfico). El primer Rector fue Fr. Bernardino Mora. Fue bendecido el 8 de noviembre de 1942 por don José Garibi Rivera, Arzobispo de Guadalajara. Este Colegio, que tiene como Patrón a San Antonio de Padua y que cuenta con una reliquia de él, se hizo gracias al apoyo de todo el Pueblo, que aunque no podía mantenerlo económicamente, todos se pusieron de acuerdo e hicieron un compromiso con los franciscanos en el que quedaba dicho que el Pueblo se dedicaría a lavar la ropa a los Seminaristas, además de que las señoras, algunos días, irían a cocinarles sin cobrar nada. los Hermanos cada año ellos apoyan en la catequesis parroquial. En esta Casa, que también es un Seminario, los jóvenes se preparan para seguir a Cristo al estilo de San Francisco y para ser también, como el Hermano de Asís, instrumentos de Paz y Bien. El Seminario de San Agustín ha sido fundamental para la formación de la Familia Franciscana porque ha dado gran número de sacerdotes, al grado de que ahora está considerada como la Provincia más prolífica del mundo, donde se ordenan de siete a diez al año.

Templos
 Templo de Nuestra Señora del Refugio

Como en todas las poblaciones indígenas, los franciscanos fundaron el hospital cuya capilla, como todas, estaba dedicada a la Purísima Concepción, siendo hasta el siglo XVIII cuando cambió su nombre por el de Nuestra Señora del Refugio. Se encuentra al frente de la Iglesia principal. La Capilla es un hermoso relicario construido por los indígenas convertidos, evangelizados por los franciscanos que aun dominan esta región. La capilla tiene en su interior arcos y jambas de cantera estilo barroco, con relieves de flores y rosetones. Construcción con planta de tres naves como el resto de las capillas, sólo que ésta tiene dos crujías en las naves laterales, y en la nave central se suma el cuerpo del presbiterio, encontrándose una fecha grabada de 1872. Curiosamente, el partido arquitectónico invita a visualizar el crecimiento progresivo de lo que inicialmente fue una ermita, posteriormente una capilla abierta, que finalmente fue delimitada por muros exteriores, presentándose los anexos de sacristía y una pequeña torre al frente del lado izquierdo; su puerta apunta al oriente.

 Templo Parroquial de San Agustín
Es dedicado a al Santo Patrón San Agustín, Obispo de Hipona. La construcción del templo se debe al padre Fr. Serafín Barragán. Ya que la iglesia original fue derruida, la reconstrucción del templo actual data de 1935, colocándose la cubierta en 1948, terminándose en forma definitiva en 1980 por el Ing. Enrique Ladrón de Guevara que costeó la solidificación, arreglo y pintura. Se construyeron la cúpula, el altar, coro y portada; iglesia de planta en cruz griega, ya que el transepto se encuentra al centro de la nave principal. En el año 2012 el Párroco Fray Juan Perea Xolalpa inició la remodelación del interior del templo con un estilo contemporáneo el diseñado por el Arq. Ángel Ernesto Lozano Gallegos.

Fiesta patronales

Siguiendo la tradición de los pueblos aledaños, en San Agustín se realizan las fiestas patronales a su Santo Patrón San Agustín, dichas fiestas se sitúan dos veces por año y son las siguientes:

 Agosto

Comprende un triduo que comienza el día 25 de agosto y culmina el día 28, fiesta asignada a San Agustín, este día destaca una procesión en agradecimiento por el buen temporal, donde los lugareños por costumbre, entran a la Iglesia con Milpas de maíz, en señal de agradecimiento por el buen temporal que termina.

 Noviembre

Esta fiesta es de fecha recorrida, ya que no hay fecha exacta para su realización, pero es la siguiente:
El convite de carros alegóricos se lleva a cabo el antepenúltimo domingo del mes de noviembre, en la cual se hace una procesión con carros alegóricos, el último de ellos es dedicado al Santo Patrón.
El viernes siguiente al convite, es el inicio de dichas fiestas que culminan el último domingo del mes.

 Fiesta en Honor a la Virgen del Refugio

Esta Fiesta se realiza en Honor a Nuestra Señora del Refugio, Patrona del Pueblo desde el Siglo XVIII y comprende un Novenario del 25 de junio al 4 de julio, enfatizándose el Triduo Solemne del 1° al 4 de julio.

En esta fiesta se destaca el día 3 de julio, donde se realiza la Procesión y Misa por el Buen Temporal que comienza, donde los lugareños tienen por tradición llevar la Imagen de la Virgen del Refugio en una Procesión de alrededor de 8 km hacia el lugar conocido como "Los Ocotes" donde se realiza la Misa a las 12 del mediodía. Por la noche se tienen las Tradicionales Serenatas y Mañanitas a la Virgen.

Por su parte el día principal, 4 de julio, se realiza muy de madrugada las Tradicionales Mañanitas con música y pólvora, continuando con la misa y el posterior Rezo del Rosario por las Calles del Pueblo.
Por la Tarde destaca la Solemne Procesión por las Calles del Pueblo con la Imagen Original de Nuestra Señora del Refugio, una bella pintura al óleo que fue traída a este Pueblo por misioneros Franciscanos en el año de 1711.
Por la noche, como es costumbre en estos lugares, la fiesta continúa con las Serenatas con Banda en la Plaza del Poblado, así como la quema de fuegos pirotécnicos.

National Probation Service to take over responsibility for all offender management .
up to £280 million to be made available for voluntary and private sectors to deliver innovative rehabilitation services
part of holistic reforms to cut reoffending and reduce crime
Justice Secretary David Gauke has today (16 May 2019) set out his blueprint for the future of probation – bringing all offender management under the National Probation Service (NPS) and building on existing work to bring down reoffending.
These reforms are designed to build on the successful elements of the existing system, Transforming Rehabilitation, which led to 40,000 additional offenders being supervised every year, along with the introduction of fresh ideas and innovative new rehabilitative services from private and voluntary providers.
The reforms will enhance the work of NPS, while maximising the skills of the private and voluntary sectors, and will provide up to £280 million a year for probation interventions from the private and voluntary sectors.
Under the new model, each NPS region will have a dedicated, private or voluntary sector 'Innovation Partner' - responsible for direct provision of unpaid work and accredited programmes. This will support NPS to identify, encourage and deliver greater innovation for vital services, including substance misuse programmes, training courses, community payback and housing support.
The new model will also give local criminal justice partners a direct role in commissioning services together with NPS.
Justice Secretary David Gauke said:
Delivering a stronger probation system, which commands the confidence of the courts and better protects the public, is a pillar of our reforms to focus on rehabilitation and cut reoffending.
I want a smarter justice system that reduces repeat crime by providing robust community alternatives to ineffective short prison sentences - supporting offenders to turn away from crime for good.
The model we are announcing today will harness the skills of private and voluntary providers and draw on the expertise of the NPS to boost rehabilitation, improve standards and ultimately increase public safety.
This work builds on a package of reforms being driven forward to move away from short custodial sentences, which evidence shows are often ineffective. Recent figures show offenders serving sentences of less than 12 months had a reoffending rate of nearly 65% - laying bare the need for robust community alternatives.
By having one consistent service delivering end-to-end offender management, sentencers can feel confident that alternatives to ineffective short custodial sentences will be delivered robustly. The new model will simplify this system by introducing eleven new probation regions in England and Wales, to ensure effective coordination - right from pre-sentence reports in the courts through the criminal justice system and to release into the community.
The proposed reforms will also transform the use of technology in probation, investing in a digital and data strategy that will replace existing systems and better utilise technology, data and information to inform professional judgement.
Transforming Rehabilitation showed that real partnership working between public and private sectors can drive innovation. The new model will make it easier for a range of voluntary and community organisations to get in to the market by cutting bureaucracy. A fund of £20 million a year will be set aside for particularly innovative new approaches.
Plans to bring forward legislation to implement a statutory regulatory framework that will hold probation officers to the same professional standards as doctors and lawyers, will also ensure that probation staff feel respected and empowered to deliver this important service.
It is now vital to take time to finalise these proposals, in order to get the changes right, and the Department will work closely with providers, stakeholders and staff to finalise these proposals, ready for the new model to come in to effect in Spring 2021.
The Ministry of Justice will now run a period of market and stakeholder engagement to finalise these proposals, including on how services will be tendered to providers.
A commercial competition will launch later this year for providers to bid for to source the necessary rehabilitative services.
Offender management in Wales will be integrated on a quicker timescale, by the end of 2019.
Three launch events to discuss the reforms in more depth will be held week commencing 27 May in London, Cardiff and Manchester and will be open to stakeholders.


Talk story about taking a blindfold test at Rupperts Brewery to see if we could tell draught beer from bottled beer. Rupperts issued the invitation when asked if they were still putting up beer in those funny, old-fashioned bottles, instead of the "keg-lined cans." Continental Can Co. now has a contract with Schlitz, and American Can with Pabst, so Milwaukee is now going to can its brew. So far no New York brewery has gone over. Piel's and Rubsam & Hoffman are blossoming out with "stubbies" the new bottle. The stell industry is counting on one billion five hundred million beer cans in 1936.

Would you move to Salt Lake City for a job at Goldman Sachs?
by Beecher Tuttle 31 January 2014
Although Goldman Sachs still pays extremely well, the New York bank aggressively ratcheted down compensation costs last year, allocating just 37% of revenue to cover employee salaries, bonuses and benefits. Overall pay was down 3% year-over-year, despite the fact that Goldman added 500 employees in 2013.
One of the key tools the bank has been using to decrease compensation costs (without everyone quitting) is by adding talent in low-cost sectors like Dallas and Salt Lake City, as well as overseas in Bangalore, India. Much of the more recent domestic growth has been taking place in Salt Lake City, now home to roughly 1,800 Goldmanites, with another 200 hires likely coming soon. Clearly, Utah works for some, but would it work for you? It all depends on your answers to these questions.
Are you OK being a big fish in a small pond?
It goes without saying that you'll make significantly less working for Goldman in Salt Lake City than you would in New York. Roughly 30% less for an identical position, according to Reuters. But, as long as you aren't summering in the West Village, you're still coming out ahead due to the differences in cost of living.
Making $50,000 in Salt Lake City equates to making nearly $120,000 in Manhattan, according to CNN's cost of living calculator. Utah is now the fifth most affordable state in the U.S. and offers the 10th lowest tax burden in the country.
Plus, your salary will likely dwarf that of your neighbor's. The average annual salary in Utah is under $42,000.
Do you work in the back office? If not, are you OK going to lunch with them?
Goldman is quick to point out that Salt Lake City is home to nine of its 11 business units. But the two that aren't there are the sexy high-paying jobs: trading and investment banking. Salt Lake employs hundreds in technology, compliance and operations, with others working in human resources and finance. However, higher-paying roles in wealth and asset management are also available.
Currently, there are 27 open jobs in technology on Goldman's career page, along with 15 in operations, 12 in finance and four in compliance. There aren't any in wealth and asset management, but usually those types of roles are filled through analyst programs or are un-posted.
How important is job security?
Goldman has made a pledge to continue pushing jobs to low-cost areas. Logic will dictate then that you are less likely to be a casualty as a lower-paid staffer in Salt Lake than you would as a more costly employee in New York or London.
Do you like being outside more than inside?
New York and London have culture: plays, museums, sporting events and thousands of amazing restaurants. Utah, on the other hand, specializes in outdoor activities. It's home to five national parks – the most of any U.S. state – and there are 11 ski resorts within an hour of the airport. If you like hiking, skiing, mountain biking and rafting, you won't find a much better locale.
How important is a nightlife?
However, if a thriving nightlife is a priority, you may want to look elsewhere. Utah has the most stringent alcohol laws in the country, with the state having a monopoly over wholesaling booze. Most stores sell beer with minimal alcohol content and no bar stays open past 1 a.m. Before last year, you weren't even allowed to order alcohol at a restaurant unless you were ordering food.
And if you're single, your options may be limited. While Utah is the youngest state in the country, with an average age of 29, it has the highest percentage of married couples and family households in the U.S.
Are you OK with more of a startup feel?
You are working at Goldman Sachs, so it is far from a startup, but the firm says that the office culture in Salt Lake City is different. Younger workers in Utah tend to have more responsibility and greater exposure to all the firm's businesses, at least according to Goldman.

You know those days where you wake up and feel down? Like you just keep thinking about the hard or sad things that have happened? And then you remind yourself that there are so many things to be thankful for, things to be joyful about, and things to look forward to, which helps some, but part of you is still sad? That's where I am today, just feeling a little grey. But grey is also my favorite color, so I found these pretty grey things to remind me that sometimes, grey is beautiful.
love that bag (and everything else) - i hope it ends up on sale!
i love grey! i painted 2 facing walls of my bedroom a light grey and kept the other 2 white and it looks great - the grey adds some depth which helps because my room is pretty tiny. plus it goes with basically every color!
love you sherri. glad you could find some happy in the gray.
Thanks for the sweet blog comment! Love your blog and that essie color!
I like and appreciate your perspective today, Sherri. I've been thinking about you today. I love you!
If you're looking for a grey bag with sequins, you should check out Ann Taylor Loft. They have a similar bag to this Gap one for only $16.50. If you're interested!
I ADORE that bench from West Elm! Love, love it!
I hope your joy far outweighs your sadness. Sometimes gray days just happen, but there will be sunshine tomorrow!
I'm obsessed with grey! I love it and have it all over our house! Those are great grey picks! Thanks for your sweet comments! Glad I found your blog, and am now following your adventures!
Really fantastic collection of grey things. I've had a crush on that apron from terrain for some time, but that tote with the sparkly handles? LOVE that.


Mined diamonds vs. lab created diamonds has been a hot topic recently, and this new initiative only adds to the controversy. Not only is De Beers promoting lab created diamond jewelry, but their transparency and pricing is disrupting the entire industry. Lightbox Jewelry is being completely linear with their pricing—reasoning that they can make laboratory diamonds every day of the week, resulting in a modest $800 per carat retail. In contrast, the procurement of Natural Diamonds is quite expensive with DeBeers spending $2 billion to mine only 10 thousand diamonds over 1ct last year. Natural diamonds are rare and take millions of years to form, each one being as unique as a snowflake.
The real disruption Lightbox Jewelry is causing is not for natural diamonds, but for other lab created diamonds. Until now, the pricing of lab created diamonds has been around 30% less than natural diamonds meaning you can get a bigger diamond for your money. DeBeers feels that synthetic diamond prices should be in no way tied to the pricing of Natural Diamonds. These Lightbox Jewelry diamonds are shockingly priced less than half the price of other lab created diamonds—positioning them even further from natural diamonds.
So what does that mean if you own a lab diamond now?
The move from De Beers could absolutely influence the overall long-term value of lab diamonds, which was questionable to begin with and far, far less steady than natural mined diamonds. Though Lightbox Jewelry does not sell these $800/carat lab diamonds loose, there is a good possibility it will threaten the value of lab diamonds whether you own one now or were interested in buying one in the future.
Should I not spend my money on lab diamonds?
It truly depends on your unique situation and beliefs. If the long-term investment of the diamond is important to you, a natural mined diamond may be the right choice. But if you are restricted by budget and are looking to make a gesture such as a Valentine's or bridesmaids gift, you may look towards buying a lab created diamond. Lightbox diamonds are not being marketed for engagement rings as most people in their study groups claimed they would want a Natural Diamond for such a profound occasion. The perception of synthetic diamond jewelry was that it was good as travel jewelry and giftable for life's "lighter" moments.
If environmental and socio-economic impact is important to you, it is important to note that though lab diamonds are arguably the most impact-free route, many mined diamonds are responsibly sourced and actually do good for the economy where the mines are located. For example, for every acre that De Beers mines, they will offset that and devote five acres to conservation. There is also incredibly economic growth and opportunity in these mining regions such as Botswana, completely revitalizing their GDP, empowering women, and funding education and healthcare.


Those of you who have been with me from the start know how I came to find myself in London but those of you who are new – WELCOME! – may not know I moved to the big smoke to kickstart a career in television. A few weeks back I went along to an event hosted by RTS Futures – the arm of the Royal Television Society aimed at helping new entrants to the industry make the most of opportunities that come their way.
RTS Futures is open to anyone who has been working in the TV industry for less than 2 years and is free to join. They regularly host events in London and across the UK which you can check out here. I've been to a couple of them now and it's a great opportunity to pick the brains of the people who have paved the path for those coming up the telly ranks as well as meet likeminded folks you might like to collaborate with in the future.
The most recent event they hosted was about becoming the best TV Researcher and while I was there I made a few notes I thought I'd share here in case any of you are interested in dipping a toe in the telly pool.
1 LISTEN. Listen to what's being asked of you and respond accordingly.
2 KNOW YOUR SUBJECT MATTER. If you're not already an expert in the area you are researching make it your mission to become an expert in it. If you're doing casting research, (finding people to appear on TV), try to put yourself in the shoes of the person you are trying to find. If you were them, where would you hang out? What would you be interested in?
3 PICK UP THE PHONE. This was a really key message of the evening. Anyone can send a tweet but it's far better to pick up the phone and have a chat with someone to best find out about them.
4 READ NEWSPAPERS. Daily. And not just the newspaper you normally buy. Read a selection and look out for interesting articles and people that might be brilliant on TV. Check out reddit and Twitter too to see what's trending.
5 FACT CHECK EVERYTHING. If you don't have total confidence in the accuracy of the information you are passing to the rest of your team stop and check it more thoroughly. Not checking something properly can have consequences for colleagues who are relying on you to know your stuff.
6 IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OWN UP. Don't bottle it up, especially if you think it's a biggie. The sooner you own up the sooner you and your team can work to fix it.
7 COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT. If you're not sure on something just ask. However, do try and find out the answer yourself first. Recognise that your fellow colleagues are time-poor and working to deadlines, as you are, so be considerate of their time by finding out what you can before approaching them. If you still can't find the answer don't be afraid to ask for help.
8 DON'T PROMISE THINGS YOU CAN'T DELIVER. A great thing about being a researcher is you get to interact and build relationships with lots of different people. It can be tempting to promise something if you think it will encourage someone to want to appear in your show but unless you are certain you can deliver on it don't do it. It's not fair to that person and you wouldn't like someone to do it to you. If people are gracious enough to give you their trust treat it well.
9 SOUND IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE IMAGE ON SCREEN. If you're asked to go on a recce, (to meet a potential contributor or check out a filming location,) and you interview someone make sure you think of sound. Is the location you want to film outdoors? Is it on a flight path or near a busy road? These things can really disrupt filming and make it hard to hear what your contributor is saying. Coffee shops can be tricky too – huge fancy espresso machines are very noisy!
10 KEEP YOUR CV SHORT & SWEET. Talent Managers receive a huge volume of CVs every day so keep your CV succinct and leave out any waffle. List your key skills at the top and emphasise why you will be a great asset to the team that is hiring. An employer wants to hear what you will bring to the job they are advertising not what your long term career goals are.
If you're interested in working in TV I hope these tips are useful to you. They came straight from the mouths of experienced Casting Execs, Producer / Directors, Researchers and Presenters so they're worth a read through. Look out for RTS Futures events happening in your area and get along to them if you can. It's a great opportunity to pick up tips from the experts but also to network and get on the radars of industry gurus.
The next RTS Futures event in London is the Summer Party on 16th July. Click here for details.

Rolling blog recording David Cameron's campaign visits
Of course all members of the shadow cabinet will be travelling the length and breadth of the country during the campaign, but there will doubtless be particular interest in the constituencies which David Cameron visits. This will be a record of those visits (N.B. Target numbers are based on the figures of the notional majorities calculated by Profs Rallings and Thrasher at the University of Plymouth).
Mr Cameron campaigned through the night, meeting night shift workers at WEC Engineering's base in Rossendale and Darwen (Target 77), another visit to Ed Balls' Morley and Outwood seat (Target 196), where he went to a Morrisons supermarket distribution centre. By dawn he was with fishermen in the fishing port of Great Grimsby (Target 214). Then it was on to Nottinghamshire, visiting the Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School in Calverton in the Sherwood constituency (Target 152). By lunchtime he had travelled across to the West MIdlands to visit an ambulance station in Dudley North (Target 106). It was then on to Wales, where he paid a mid-afternoon visit to a school, Ysgol Daffyd Llwyd, in Montgomeryshire (Target 210) - meaning he has visited all four constituent parts of the UK in the last 24 hours. It was then on to Bristol for a final campaign rally (pictured) at Brunel's Old Station in the Bristol West consituency, whcih borders more marginal Bristol North West (Target 54) and Bristol East (Target 170).
The day began with campaigning in Hendon (Target 73) for Matthew Offord, after which Mr Cameron flew to Northern Ireland to speak at a rally in Strangford, County Down. It is the seat that was held by Iris Robinson in the last Parliament for the DUP, but is being contested by Mike Nesbitt for the Conservaitves and Unionists at this election. It was then back in the air to travel to a rally in Renfrewshire East (Target 138) to support Richard Cook. He then travelled down the motorway to Carlisle (Target 132) where he visited night shift workers at the Carlisle Fire and Rescue station (pictured).
Monday 3rd May
A bank holiday, but a busy day for David Cameron, which started at the Chepstow Community Garden in Blackpool North and Cleveleys (Target 79) with local candidate Paul Maynard. He then went back to London where he visited the City of London Academy in the Bermondsey and Old Southwark constituency with Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Hugh Robertson and sports stars Gavin Hastings and James Cracknell to promote an Olympics-style school sports competition. He then addressed the Citizens UK Assembly in Westminster before being interviewed for Sky News by Adam Boulton - after which he addressed a rally in Feltham in the Feltham and Heston seat (Target 182) where Mark Bowen is the Tory candidate.
Sunday 2nd May
After being interviewed by Andrew Marr, David Cameron headed for Cornwall, where he addressed a rally of supporters in Newquay in the new St Austell and Newquay (Target 119) constituency being contested by Caroline Righton. He then went up to North Wales where he went campaigning at a Tesco store in Holywell in Delyn (Target 186) with local candidate Antoinette Sandbach.
Saturday 1st May
The first visit of the day was to the Lister General Hospital in Stevenage (Target 72) with candidate Stephen McPartland. He then spent some time campaigning in Woodstock in his own Witney constituency before going to Dagenham and Rainham (Target 151) where he visited the Rush Green Medical Centre before addressing a party rally with locsal candidate Simon Jones.

Conservatives on course for at least five gains in Wales
As the Welsh party gathers in Llandudno for its conference, it is timely that Political Betting is reporting the latest voting intention figures for Wales, as revealed in a YouGov poll commissioned by ITV Wales.
The parties are on the following shares of the vote (with 2005 general election performance in brackets):
Labour - 37% (42.7%)
Conservatives - 29% (21.4%)
Plaid Cymru - 14% (12.6%)
Lib Dems - 12% (18.4%)
This is equivalent to a swing from Labour to the Conservatives of 6.6%, which - if repeated across every seat in Wales - would deliver five gains for the party. Even more could be gained if there is a higher than average swing in the battleground marginals, as is being seen across other polls.
Here is the list of the top Conservative targets in Wales, all of which are Labour-held apart from Brecon and Radnorshire, which has a Lib Dem MP; those in bold are the ones which would be gained based on the latest poll:
Vale of Clwyd
> The Conservatives are set for 13 gains in London
March 05, 2010 at 15:37 in Aberconwy, Brecon and Radnorshire, Bridgend, Cardiff North, Carmarthen West and Pembrokeshire South, Clwyd South, Delyn, Gower, Newport West, Vale of Clywd, Vale of Glamorgan | Permalink | Comments (8)
Jonathan Evans MEP selected for Cardiff North
Jonathan Evans, formerly MP for Brecon & Radnor and later a leader of the Conservative MEPs, beat Cllr Kay Swinburne in an open primary selection last night.
Cardiff North is held by Rhodri Morgan's wife by a slender Labour majority of just over 1000 and competent Conservative AM Jonathan Morgan had a big win in the local Assembly elections, so there's a good chance that Mr Evans will return to the green benches.
Mr Evans is a committed Christian and an enthusiastic supporter for a more compassionate conservatism.
Two other MEPs have also been adopted for Westminster seats: Neil Parish for Tiverton and Honiton and Chris Heaton-Harris for Daventry.

Jackie Robinson poses with Dodgers teammates John Jorgensen, Pee Wee Reese and Eddie Stanky before his first major league game, April 15, 1947.
On This Day: Jackie Robinson Joins the Brooklyn Dodgers
by Denis Cummings
On April 10, 1947, Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey announced he had purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson, setting the stage for Robinson to break Major League Baseball's color barrier.
Jackie Robinson Breaks Baseball's Color Barrier
For over 50 years, beginning in 1890, owners in the top professional baseball leagues had a "gentleman's agreement" to exclude black players from the field. Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey, motivated both by the ideal of racial equality and the desire to win ballgames, wanted to break this agreement and add a black player to his team.
In what he called his "great experiment," Rickey sought a black ballplayer with great talent and personal character. "I wanted a man of exceptional intelligence, a man who was able to grasp and control the responsibilities of himself to his race and could carry that load," he explained in a 1956 speech.
He found the perfect man in Jackie Robinson, a former four-sport star at UCLA who played the 1945 season with the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro League. Robinson had a history of challenging racism; as a U.S. Army lieutenant, he was court-martialed for refusing to sit in the segregated back seats on a military bus.
Robinson played 1946 with the Montreal Royals of the International League, breaking the professional baseball color barrier. "This in a way is another Emancipation Day for the Negro race," Baz O'Meara of The Montreal Daily Star wrote.
The following spring, on April 10, 1947, his contract was purchased by the Dodgers. "Jackie Robinson, 28-year-old infielder, today became the first Negro to achieve major-league baseball status in modern times," wrote The New York Times.
He made his major league debut on April 15, playing first base for the Dodgers. Throughout the season he faced racial abuse from players and fans, but he followed Rickey's orders to turn the other cheek.
"Jackie Robinson had to be bigger than life," writes Hall of Famer Hank Aaron in Time. "He had to be bigger than the Brooklyn teammates who got up a petition to keep him off the ball club, bigger than the pitchers who threw at him or the base runners who dug their spikes into his shin, bigger than the bench jockeys who hollered for him to carry their bags and shine their shoes, bigger than the so-called fans who mocked him with mops on their heads and wrote him death threats."
PBS presents a lesson plan on Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier.

Rickey revolutionized the way a baseball front office operated during his more than 40 years as a major league manager and executive. In addition to being the driving force behind breaking the color barrier, Rickey also created the modern farm system, established the first spring training facility and employed statisticians to analyze players.

CNNMoney: Green behind decline of blacks in baseball
Robinson was not the first black player to play alongside white professionals. In the 1880s, several black players competed in prominent leagues throughout the country. But by 1890, an informal "gentleman's agreement" among team owners and managers had forced black players out of white professional leagues, and into "outlaw" leagues and segregated Negro leagues.
In 1916, Jimmy Claxton would briefly break the color barrier. Claiming to be a Native American, Claxton signed with the Pacific Coast League's Oakland Oaks. He pitched in just two games before team officials discovered his black ancestry and promptly released him.
Related Topic: Declining Numbers of Black Players Today
Robinson cleared the way for other black players in the majors, including Larry Doby, Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella. However, baseball today has seen declining numbers of African-American players.
Analysts cite both cultural and economic factors for the decline in numbers, including the game's perceived lack of cultural appeal and the scarcity of playing fields in inner cities. Some black players also feel that there is lingering racial prejudice in the minor and major leagues.
CNNMoney's Chris Isidore believes that the economics of MLB's draft and minor league systems put blacks at a disadvantage compared to white and Caribbean players. "The real reasons behind the decline have more to do with money—the economics of scouting and player development, as well as socioeconomic issues in the U.S.," he writes.
