Depressed skull fracture is a very serious type of trauma occurring in 11% of severe head injuries, and there is a consistent association between the presence of cranial fracture and higher incidence of intracranial lesions, neurological deficit, and poor outcome. Depressed cranial fractures have to be treated aggressively because of their association with infection and late epilepsy.
To study the clinical profile and surgical outcome of patients with depressed cranial fractures.
A case series study of 44 patients with depressed fracture was conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting at the Department of Neurosurgery, Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences, Bellary, Karnataka, during the period from June 2013 to January 2015. Among the selected patients, the clinical profile, radiological profile, and surgical interventions were undertaken and the outcomes were noted. Appropriate descriptive statistics were used to analyze the findings and to draw inferences.
There were 30 males and 14 females. The mean age of the patients was 26.95 ± 14.87 years (6–65 years). The common cause of depressed fracture was road traffic accident (45%) and assault (40.9%); 63% of them had compound type and half of the fractures were located in the frontal region. Common associated injuries were extradural hematoma (50%) followed by dural tear (27.3%). Common complications were wound infection (9.1%) and cerebrospinal fluid leak (9.1%).
The management of depressed fractures should be individualized depending on factors like the degree of depression, communication with the exterior, neurological deficit and presence of associated injuries.

Missouri Telegraph, 11 May 1893,
Fulton, Callaway, Missouri
Jas. L. Craghead Dead
Died, at his home in this city on Thursday, May 4th, 1893, James L. Craghead, aged 83 years and 4 months.
Uncle Jimmie, as we called him, came to Missouri with his parents in 1839. His father, Isaiah Craghead was raised in Franklin county, VA, and moved to Missouri with his family consisting of five sons, John R., George H., Jas. L., Isaiah W., W. A. B. Craghead, and two daughters Jane and Nancy F., all of whom have passed away now except Wm. A. B. and Mrs. Nancy F. Bradley.
Uncle Jimmie professed religion in 1837 and joined the Methodist church and lived in that church until about 1846, his wife who was Miss Mary Williamson, belonged to the Missionary Baptist church and he withdrew for the Methodist and joined his wife in the Baptist, and lived in that church a worthy and acceptable member until a few years back he withdrew and joined the Old Baptist Church.
Uncle Jimmie was in many respects a remarkable man. Strong, vigorous and powerful in physical manhood, a man with strong mind, tenacious of his own convictions, courageous in maintaining his opinions and steadfast in his religious beliefs. He was a man of cheerful temperment and leaves a host of friends to sympathize with his bereaved widow, his second wife, Mrs Nancy Maddox, to whom he was married some three years ago.
He had made his home in Callaway continuously since he come here in 1839. He leaves no children. Peace to his ashes.

(thing) by Dorian Fri Dec 17 2004 at 14:33:48
A few days ago, I bought the CD compilation Music to Watch Girls By (Sony Music, 2000), prompted by saturation-point viewings of the recent Mastercard commercial--set to the instrumental version of the popular hit Music to Watch Girls By--that promised the credit card user "three summers in one year" as a prize. It didn't intensify my interest in spending a year-long summer in the company of nubile young women whose breasts bounce mesmerizingly as they frolick in the waves or jog in slow motion. Instead, I was captivated by that song. It was the sound of my 1960s childhood as I imagined it, being too young to remember.
I think the music you hear as an impressionable babe-in-arms becomes an unconscious part of you, but you don't know it until you hear it later in life--like Raymond Shaw programmed to respond to the Queen of Diamonds. That's The Girl From Ipanema for me, and Up, Up & Away, and Moon River. What's today called "loungecore".
Music to Watch Girls By includes Downtown and Don't Sleep in the Subway, and the title track by Andy Williams--but most crucial of all, his Can't Take My Eyes Off You.
This was music made in the Vinyl Age--when you put the shiny black 12-inch LP on your Garrard turntable, made sure the record speed was set to 33-and-a-third, and gently dropped the needle onto the run-in groove, upon which you heard the slight hiss at the start of the track. This was the sound of the record opening a door into another room. A secret one. A room which always had a slight reverb, a room that was warm and dark and sexy and cool and grown-up in that way they had in the 1960s--before popular music became "pop". It's a room you can't see except in your inner eye. It's a room you can't enter any way other than listening to certain records from that time. It's magic. It's romance. Even the Beatles didn't have it. I think this is why people later took to listening to records through headphones in the dark. And I think it was what Phil Spector was trying to reinvent, but he was wrong when he called it the Wall of Sound--it's the Doorway of Sound.
All of this came to me suddenly a couple of days ago when I listened to track number 15 on CD 2 of the compilation. You're too good to be true, Andy Williams crooned quietly, Can't take my eyes off you. It took me quite by surprise. Rooted to the spot, I played the song about ten times in a row. I don't think I can coherently explain what happened to me. It wasn't as if the Doorway of Sound gently swung open; no, it shattered into a black velvet blinding flash of 1960s lounge music reverb that became a dimension of its own--maybe what Aldous Huxley meant when he was nattering on about the "doors of perception" or somesuch. Not entirely sanely, I had the non sequitur realization that if there were such a thing as love at first sight, it was going to happen while I was listening to that song, sung by Andy Williams in that way. After this I was too frightened to play it again, not only because I was afraid about what else it might do to my head, but also in case it had all been gold dust that would dull in the cold light of rationality.
But I listened to it about ten times again yesterday evening, and today too. And I began to worry, perhaps neurotically, that I was going to turn into an old fogey who'd start wearing cardigans and muttering about the good old days when music was something you could hum. What was I going to tell my friends? Only earlier this week my favourites were Lemon Jelly's Soft and an UNKLE remix of Tomorrow Never Knows! Now I'm obsessed by Williams' extraordinary phrasing like a deranged conspiracy theorist poring over a string of "coincidences". I've been brainwashed by an Andy Williams song. I get light-headed when I hear it, which is often. And I can't stop wanting to hear it. It's like a drug. I think I'm losing my mind.
(Don't Sleep in the Subway is also on CD 2. When was the last time I heard it, in the early 1970s on a worn-out BASF tape my mother used to play on a portable Sony mono-aural cassette deck? Today I figured that either the song samples Good Vibrations, or that Brian Wilson was too smart to overlook a musical gem when he heard one. Diamonds are forever.)

Mid-Derbyshire MP Pauline Latham pays tribute to her 'wonderful' and 'loving' son who has died suddenly
Ben Latham, the son of Mid-Derbyshire MP Pauline Latham, has died at the age of 44
Ashley Booker
Mid-Derbyshire MP Pauline Latham has paid a moving tribute to her son who has died, aged 44.
Ben Latham passed away 'very suddenly and unexpectedly' at his Yorkshire home - where he lived with his wife Tracey and children, Poppy and Harry - in the early hours of Tuesday, December 11.
He died of an aortic dissection.
In a statement released by the Conservative MP this week, devastated Mrs Latham described Ben as 'a wonderful, loving, kind, compassionate, loyal and fun human being whose life has touched so many people'.
She said: "At 44, it was just too soon. Along with his wife and two children, we are all distraught.
"He was a wonderful, loving, kind, compassionate, loyal and fun human being whose life has touched so many people. He didn't sit at home waiting for things to happen. He was an organiser who lived every day to the full.
"As a son, he was so wonderful and always thought of others, as a husband he was adored and as a father, he was amazing.
"His sister, Sarah, and brother, Oliver, are totally devastated and cannot imagine life without him.
"Fortunately this year we have had some close and wonderful times such as celebrating my 70th birthday with a party for family and friends; an Easter holiday where we all stayed on the same complex and went for walks, meals and discovered Canterbury together and, finally, when Derek and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in Spain followed by two weeks in the village we had spent many happy family holidays together when all our children were small and where they now all take their children on holiday.
"This was Ben's favourite holiday destination which we will continue to visit and have many happy memories of him over the years."
Ben attended Walter Evans C of E School in Darley Abbey from the age of three and was also educated at the Ecclesbourne School in Duffield before studying at the University of Humberside.
He worked for Boots when he was instrumental in setting up their first internet sales, followed by a short time at E-On.
For around the last 12 years he had worked for Summit Media in East Yorkshire.
Today's weather- watch the forecast
- Ben's funeral takes place at St Mary's Church, North Bar Within, Beverley, at 2pm on Thursday, followed by a wake at Beverley Barns, Long Lane, Beverley at 4.30pm.

Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig Interviewed by Hipster Runoff's Carles About "Indie"
"The world has spoken, and it prefers genuine fakes to fake genuines. Mid-2000s indie was full of fake genuines. I won't name names."

Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig and Carles, the blogger behind the recently-sold Hipster Runoff, spoke to each other about the meaning of "indie" in an interview for The Fader.
Koenig begins by asking Carles if indie still exists. Carles responds, "Indie never existed. What people believe 'sounds' like indie still lives on in the fringes of Bandcamps, content farms of yesteryear, and in the hearts of regretful thirtysomethings."
Carles later asks Koenig, "Do you think that larger-than-life celebritydom is 'back'/a safer play now that the indie/'all access' [via the internet] phase is over?" to which Koenig responds:
As for your question, I advise everyone to pursue larger-than-life celebrity. It just feels right in 2015. The world has spoken, and it prefers genuine fakes to fake genuines. Mid-2000s indie was full of fake genuines. I won't name names.
Koenig later elaborates on the state of authenticity in contemporary music:
The amateur/professional dichotomy is just about destroyed now. The biggest celebrities now show the openness/vulnerability/'realness' that was once associated with 'confessional' 'bedroom' indie. The smallest artists now rely on big corporate money to get started. All the old dualities are jumbled.
I don't know how 'indie' fits into this new era. I guess you're right—similar to the modern artisan, 'indie' feels like a 'false construct.' It neither leans into the dominant narrative of late-capitalist-Information-Age-celebrity nor challenges it. It's like the musical form of the hated 'moderate liberal.'
The conversation eventually turns to the coffee shop of the future, which Koenig says will be "all-white, backless benches and one large brewed pot of coffee today (when it's done, it's done). [He] would play the Billboard Top 10 singles on loop all day." Carles' coffee, in contrast, would be "Bad, palate-disrupting instant coffee, potentially 'serve yourself' out of old youth sports Gatorade jugs"
The interview ends with Koenig commenting on "Time Crisis", his Beats 1 radio show for Apple Music:
I don't know if I'm a taste curator yet. I feel more like a flavor. I wish I was a taste curator because then I could just trend-spot flavors. I'm like a lonely hazelnut frappuccino in a Starbucks in a Target. The real power is being Target.

New Year's Six Bowl Games
Cotton & Peach Previews
If you are a fan of college football it doesn't get any better than this week. There are 16 college football bowl games scheduled for play, including the College Football Playoff semi-final games. There are sure to be some incredible contests in store for your viewing pleasure. If you're off for work, good for you. If you aren't off for work, call in sick as soon as you can because you won't want to miss this action.
Let's take a look at the first two New Year's Six Bowl Games and break down what will be so great about them.
Cotton Bowl – #7 Florida vs #6 Oklahoma – December 30
Before the season began, it wasn't that hard to imagine these two teams in the College Football Playoff. Although they fell short, it works out well for us as these two exciting teams are facing each other in the Cotton Bowl. Florida has one of the top offenses in the nation and is led by quarterback Kyle Trask. Trask is up for the Heisman and this unit took Alabama to the wire in the SEC Championship Game. Oklahoma has young phenom Spencer Rattler who hasn't had as successful of a season as the quarterbacks before him like Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts but this could be a signature game for him in his Oklahoma career.
Florida has the 11th highest-scoring offense in the nation while Oklahoma ranks 9th. Each average over 41 points per game. Both defenses are ranked 30th or worse, so points should be flying off the board. Although the Gators will be missing their top four receivers, this will be a shootout, there is no doubt about that. Florida's coach Dan Mullen has gotten tons of heat for not parting ways with his defensive coordinator and if they can't pull out a win here, boosters won't be happy. These two haven't faced each other since 2009 when the Gators won the BCS Championship Game.
Prediction: Florida 41 Oklahoma 38
Peach Bowl – #9 Georgia vs #8 Cincinnati – January 1
This is a game that would have seemed like a surprise at the beginning of the year, but Cincinnati is one of the few undefeated teams left in college football and this is one of the most intriguing matchups for fans of the Group of Five conferences. The last time we saw a Peach Bowl with this much anticipation was when UFC took down Auburn in 2017 and claimed that they were "National Champions." While I don't see the Bearcats taking that course, it should be a dogfight.
Georgia has lost two games this season and has had inconsistent play at quarterback which is a bit of a concern. Their defense allows under 20 points per game, which ranks 18th in the nation. Cincy, on the other hand, ranks 15th in scoring offense at 39 points per game and 7th in scoring defense allowing only 16 points per game. Bearcat quarterback Desmond Ridder has been sensational and should give the Georgia defense some major headaches. This should be a matchup that focuses much more on defense and the team that can put together drives in the crunch time will be the one who wins it. I like the Group of 5 and I think Cincinnati did not receive the respect they deserved for their season.
Prediction: Cincinnati 29 Georgia 23

Home Article Domestic Workers Now Have Rights.
Domestic Workers Now Have Rights.
by Monica Potts
Yesterday, New York Gov. David Paterson signed the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, a state law passed a couple of months ago that gives domestic laborers almost the same rights most workers have in offices or factories. For many, it's probably true that the protections don't go far enough: It only guarantees nannies, housekeepers, and those in similar positions one day off per week and a minimum of three paid days off after a year of employment.
But it is far better than the status quo. After the Assembly passed the bill, I spoke with Priscilla Gonzalez, director of Domestic Workers United, a New York City group that advocated for the bill. The abuses she cited ranged from the everyday, like parents arriving home five minutes late but not paying overtime, to the really egregious, as when a woman in her 60s was forced to sleep in the basement where the sewage constantly overflowed.
It's worth noting that racism is largely to blame for the fact that domestic workers have been excluded from labor laws -- many housekeepers and nannies in the South were black, and protections for them were left out of New Deal reforms to get Southern Democrats on board. One should also be mindful of the racism that keeps those abuses prevalent today -- many domestic workers are new immigrants and nearly all are women. Mobilizing such a disenfranchised group and securing their rights is a victory in and of itself; protecting them in their workplaces will be even more so.

John's Campaign is a campaign for extended visiting rights for family carers of patients with dementia in hospitals in the United Kingdom, founded on 30 November 2014 by the writers Nicci Gerrard and Julia Jones. Behind its simple statement of purpose lies the belief that carers should not just be allowed but should be welcomed, and that a collaboration between the patients and all connected with them is crucial to their health and their well-being.

Alistair Burns, the national clinical director for dementia and mental health in older people with NHS England, said: "We would encourage hospital trusts, as part of the care they provide to individuals with dementia and their families, to consider facilitating an approach whereby the families and carers of people with dementia can support them fully while they are in hospital."

In February 2014 Nicci Gerrard's father Dr John Gerrard, aged 86, spent five weeks in hospital for the treatment of leg ulcers. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease and his family's visiting was severely restricted because of a combination of normal "visiting hours" and an infectious outbreak. His condition deteriorated dramatically while he was in hospital; having previously been living well with Alzheimers he became "skeletal, incontinent, immobile, incoherent" and needed 24-hour care. He died in November 2014. His family believe that the lack of contact with familiar people and the lack of the individual attention they would have given him contributed significantly to his deterioration. In November 2014 Nicci Gerrard wrote an article in The Observer after her father's death, the following week's issue featured several supportive letters, and the campaign developed thereafter.

An Early Day Motion was put before the UK Parliament in December 2014 with the title "John's Campaign and the right to stay with dementia patients in hospital."

The campaign has received coverage including the April 2015 edition of the Alzheimer's Society's magazine Living with Dementia and BBC Radio 4's You and Yours consumer programme on 29 April 2015.

In March 2016 it was announced that the campaign had been endorsed by the NHS and that trusts would be encouraged "to consider facilitating an approach whereby the families and carers of people with dementia can support them fully while they are in hospital".

Care homes and Covid-19
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic John's Campaign became concerned about the  restrictions on visits to residents of care homes in England. In July 2020 John's Campaign was the lead signatory of a letter to the Secretary of State describing "The hidden catastrophe that is taking place in care homes" and stating that "there has ... been much suffering and a deterioration in mental and physical health among many of the residents because of the ban on all visitors". In September 2020 the campaign launched legal action  to challenge the restrictions.

Q: How to get the Generic type for the Jackson ObjectMapper Java erases normally the Generics data on compilation, but there is a possibility to get that information (the Jackson ObjectMapper does that pretty well).
My Problem: I have a Class with a property of List:
public class User {
    public List<Long> listProp;//it is public only to keep the example simple
}

How can I get the correct TypeReference (or JavaType ?) so that I can map programatically a JSON String to the correct List Type, having the instance of the Class class (User.class) and the property name (listProp)? What I mean is this:
TypeReference typeReference = ...;//how to get the typeReference?
List<Long> correctList = om.readValue(jsonEntry.getValue(), typeReference);//this should return a List<Long> and not eg. a List<Integer>

A: Have you tried the mappers constructType method?
Type genericType = User.class.getField("listProp").getGenericType();
List<Long> correctList = om.readValue(jsonEntry.getValue(), om.constructType(genericType));

A: jackson use TypeReference to construct generic type
TypeReference typeReference =new TypeReference<List<Long>>(){}

jackson use JavaType to construct generic type
JavaType jt = om.getTypeFactory().constructArrayType(Long.class);

jackson support three types

*

*Class

*JavaType

*TypeReference

i like use JavaType, it is more clear for generic type, for normal object use Class

A: Perhaps a less exotic approach to deserializing a generic type is to wrap it inside a concrete type:
class ListLongWrapper extends ArrayList<Long> {} // package scope
... or ...
static class ListLongWrapper extends ArrayList<Long> {} // class scope

then
String jsonStr = objMapper.writeValueAsString(user1.listProp); // serialize
user2.listProp = objMapper.readValue(jsonStr,ListLongWrapper.class); // deserialize

Notice that extends requires a class type (here I used ArrayList) instead of the interface List.

This suggests an even more direct approach for the given example -- User is already a wrapper (and listProp is public):
public class User {
    public List<Long> listProp;
}

then
String jsonStr = objMapper.writeValueAsString(user1); // serialize
var user2 = objMapper.readValue(jsonStr,User.class); // deserialize

In this case, you can use the interface List as-is as a field type within the wrapping class, but this means you have no control over the concrete type that Jackson will use.

Stills is a Consensus All-American
by Shanna Rose - January 8, 2021 January 8, 2021 0225
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (January 8, 2021) – West Virginia University senior defensive tackle Darius Stills has been recognized as a Consensus All-America, one of the college football's top honors earned by a player, as determined by the NCAA,
"This is a proud moment for Darius, his family and the WVU football program," WVU coach Neal Brown said. "He is very deserving of Consensus All-America honors. He has been a great representative of the Mountaineer football program on and off the field, the University and the state. We are proud of Darius and what he has meant to this program, especially that he will be leaving WVU with his degree."
To earn Consensus All-American distinction, a player must garner a majority of the first team All-America recognition from the five All-America teams recognized by the NCAA, including the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Football Foundation, Football Writers Association of America and the Sporting News.
Players who earn at least three first team All-America team honors automatically qualify for consensus honors. If the spots at the specific position aren't filled, then the players with at least two first team selections will be considered and the second team selections will be used as the tiebreaker. A player who earns five first-team spots will be named a unanimous All-American.
Stills, the 2020 Big 12 Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year, becomes the second WVU defensive lineman to earn Consensus All-American honors. (Bruce Bosley, 1955). He also is the first Mountaineer to earn the distinction since 2006 (Steve Slaton, Dan Mozes) and 12th West Virginia player in school history.
Stills was an All-Big 12 First Team selection by the coaches and the AP. He was named a first-team All-America selection by AP, Sporting News, USA Today, Bleacher Report and ESPN and second team by Walter Camp, Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Phil Steele and The Athletic.
Stills finished the 2020 season with 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 7.5 tackles for loss and an interception. He also registered 10.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss over the past two seasons. Stills was a semifinalist for the 2020 Lott Impact Award, given to college football's top defensive player on and off the field and a semifinalist for the Senior CLASS Award. He earned the Chuck Bednarik Player of the Week Award, Reese's Senior Bowl and Co-Big 12 Player of the Week (Oct. 6) when he registered four tackles, including three unassisted tackles, 2.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss against Baylor.

I wanted to give a final update of my experiment with adding symbols files to C++ library packages.
In the end, I reverted the changes and have gone back to not providing a symbols file, and instead just using shlibs. Some of this is because of the general state of the available tools, and some of it is due to the nature of the packages I was working on. This set of packages has frequent SONAME bumps from upstream, so backward compatibility across Debian stable versions can't happen anyway. They also don't use symbol export control, which means that the number of exported symbols is quite large and contains a lot of things leaked from internal objects.
But there are also tool issues. The biggest that I ran into is that symbols appear and disappear in the export list with different versions of the compiler, and the pkg-kde-tools utilities, while excellent, still interpret those changes as architecture-specific changes. So the symbols file accumulates supposedly arch-specific variations, which are actually about what version of the compiler happened to be installed on that buildd when the package was built. This also means that if a package that has had its symbols file updated for one architecture is built again on the same architecture but on another buildd with a different g++, it will often FTBFS since a different set of symbols will be present.
Obviously, this is too fragile to be maintainable.
Further debian-devel discussion pointed out that these symbol variations are probably all inline functions, where the compiler may or may not output a weak version of the symbol if it chooses not to inline it in some particular case. The right thing to do for these libraries (not all, since there are other uses of weak symbols) is to mark all weak symbols as optional and not care if they randomly appear and disappear.
There are also some 32-bit vs. 64-bit variations that are not captured by the subst mechanism, which resulted in the symbols file developing a list of architecture restrictions that amounted to "all 32-bit systems" or "all 64-bit systems." These explicit lists are also fragile, and will break with each new architecture introduced in Debian.
but I think that the level of work and remaining fragility doesn't make sense for a lot of C++ libraries, at least right now without more direct support in dpkg-gensymbols and other tool improvements. I'm therefore also planning on changing the proposed Policy patch for symbols to make it more clear that shlibs is an acceptable alternative for C++, and to patch Lintian to suppress the info tag for no symbols file for C++ libraries.

Sanguine Hum was formed from the ashes of the Joff Winks Band and the Antique Seeking Nuns (a heady mix of Zappa and Canterbury influenced instrumental compositions with songwriting that owed much to artists such as Robert Wyatt). However, after a year of not performing live and only working in the studio, the need for the duo to be back in a band reached a feverish pitch. So with an ever-mounting pile of new songs the members of the Joff Winks Band came back together under the new moniker of Sanguine Hum, recording the album Diving Bell in 2011. Initially released in limited quantities on the Troopers For Sound website, the album is a complex ensemble work, featuring profound song writing, uniquely ambitious instrumental pieces and an equally important attention to the sonic landscape of the music as a whole, giving the band its defining characteristics. Sanguine Hum continue to pursue diverse areas of writing flitting between intense instrumental pieces and unorthodox songwriting. Influenced as much by Zappa and Mahavishnu Orchestra as they are by bands such as Tortoise, Sanguine Hum create avant-prog-post-rock with groove and melody to spare.
Sanguine Hum is a "no holds barred" approach to being a rock band. Complex ensemble work, profound song-writing, uniquely ambitious instrumental pieces and an equally important attention to the sonic landscape of the music as a whole give the band its defining characteristics. Sanguine Hum will excite both existing fans of Joff Winks Band and Antique Seeking Nuns and open the door for a brand new audience looking to engage with music of integrity, passion and musical intelligence.
'Weight Of The World' is the fantastic new studio album by Sanguine Hum, released in March of 2013. Also available as a 2 disc CD / DVD edition.

Q: Can anyone help this beginner figure out this basic Python issue? I'm new to Python and started practicing and have been doing okay until I got stuck on this problem. I think the 'else' statement is the issue but I've tried many variations and can't figure it out. Any advice is most welcome to this noob. Here is a screenshot of the error and code. Thanks! https://i.stack.imgur.com/hLzrf.png

A: use keyword elif instead of else. else does not need any expression

A: Use elif instead of else because else doesn't use expressions after it and put else after the elif containing a error message or something. You cannot put something like this:
if a > b:

elif a < b:

because there is no else statement for if a and b are equal.

A: You are using the else statement in the wrong way, because it cannot contain a condition. If you want to add a second condition use elif instead. And use else only when you want to define a statement to execute when no other if statement was True.
if 1 == 1:
    # your statement
elif 1 == 2:
    # your other statement
else:
    # your statement if none of the above was true


Once the hypnotizing vocals of Detroit In Effect reach your ears, they'll never leave. If you've never bumped into the mind-twisting lyrics "Are you married? No! Are you occupied? Oh no!" the time has come to cancel your appointments for May 6th and witness one of the rare appearances of Detroit producer Tameko J. Williams, aka DJ Maaco, at Red58.
Releasing as D.I.E. with Odell Perry (P-Dog), with whom he set up M.A.P. Records, Williams started out as a drummer as a child and switched to electronic gear years later. One of electro's benchmarks in the '90s, D.I.E.'s "Gadget Man," "R U Married" and "Nothing's Like Detroit" are just few of his most famous hits. In his sets he mingles the dancefloor-killer tonalities of electro music with gospel, Miami bass and hip hop to reach the realms of techno. This really can't be missed.


The school challenge thread has finally hit Kaduna State University and Kaduna Polytechnic despite having the same location. The school challenge started on twitter some hours ago when a popular graduate of KASU, Leo Ralph influenced the challenge with the hashtag #KADPOLYvsKASU.
Students of the noble institutions have taken to twitter to slam themselves based on facts, lifestyle, standard, structures and class. It has been dramatic and educative. You think you know much about KADPOLY and KASU, just swipe Left for screen shots!!!


Unofficial Flag of Romagna ?
The Gonfalone and the emblem were adopted on 15 December 1989. The emblem is a white square fimbriated green with a stylized shape of the region in green. A red line appear under the square with the words Regione Emilia-Romagna. The gonfalon is white with the emblem in the middle. There isn't any official flag.

This Italian group uses two symbols with flags. You can see them here and here . Those images are taken from the movement site at <utenti.tripod.it/libertaemiliana>.
This movement is not pro-independence, rather for autonomy within the Italian State. In this case I can say there is no Emilia nation at all, as we were built up from different cultural and ethnical areas in the last 150 years. All cities here developed as independent entities, fighting one another for an ephimeral supremacy, under the flags with the eagle of the Empire or the keys of the Pope.

Teamsters Local 355 - Need A Union?
Signing an authorization card enables the Local Union to file a petition for an election at the National Labor Relations Board. All cards are kept confidential and management does not get to see them.
The National Labor Relations Board sends a representative to hold a secret ballot election. You will be allowed to vote during work hours. Neither the Company nor the Union will know how you voted. We will need 51% to win the election.
After winning the election, a meeting is scheduled for all employees who will be covered by the contract. At the meeting, your input will be needed as to what you want in your contract. During this meeting, you will also elect a group of people that you work with who will be part of the committee that will help the Union negotiate the contract. After the committee and the Union have meetings with the Company to negotiate the best contract they can, another meeting will be scheduled so you and your co-workers can vote on the contract.
Important note: Dues will not be paid until you and your co-workers accept a contract that you vote on. Dues are not retroactive.
Most employers try to talk workers out of organizing. Why? Because employers know that, with a union, workers gain the power to make themselves heard. And employers must listen.
That is exactly what having a union is all about — having the power to stand up for ourselves, our families, our future. Having a union means having a strong, collective voice to stand up to our employer to gain decent working conditions, pay, benefits, dignity, and respect on the job.
In fact, the only way to gain a voice on our job and gain real, positive changes in the workplace, is to get them in writing in a legally binding Teamster contract.
It makes sense. When we stand alone we are powerless. Our employer holds all the cards and he calls all the shots. By standing together, workers gain a seat at the table to demand a fair deal.
The Teamsters Union is made up of more than 1.4 million working men and women just like you. We are truck drivers, nurses, police officers, school employees, food workers, airline employees, manufacturing workers, production workers, linen workers, and much more.
We believe that talk is cheap, and false company promises cannot protect our families. We understand that the only way working people can truly protect their jobs and their families is by standing together and negotiating a legally binding union contract.
Had enough of broken promises? Tired of lousy pay and working conditions?
Do you want respect on the job and security for your family?
Read more about the Teamsters here, here and here.
Unions like Teamsters 355 play a great role in balancing the scales for working people. It is a documented and statistical fact that Corporate America has benefited mightly from our struggling economy, while income inequities continue to grow for working Americans.
In the State of Maryland, employees not covered by a union contract can be terminated for any reason, or for no reason at all.
However, employees covered by a union contract can only be terminated for "just cause" – simple words, but they mean a lot. It means that an employer can not arbitrarily terminate an employee.
In your union contract, you will find information about the grievance and arbitration procedures that spell out what needs to be done when an employee believes they are being disciplined unfairly by an employer.
It is your right under U.S. labor law to join and support a union at your workplace.
Your rights to organize are set forth in Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): "Employees shall have the right to self-organization; to form, join, or assist labor organizations; to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing; and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection ..."
The right to join or help organize a union without being harassed or punished by our employer.
The right to have meetings at lunchtime or break time in non-work areas on company property without being harassed or punished by the employer.
The right to talk about the union, distribute union materials, or ask our co-workers to join the union on non-work time (including lunch and breaks) in non-work areas (break rooms, locker rooms, etc).
The right to go to union meetings and wear union shirts, hats and buttons – in most cases – without interference from our boss or supervisors.
The right to hold demonstrations and rallies about the union or about work problems.
Fire, discipline, lay off, or cut our hours for supporting the union.
Spy, or pretend to spy, on our union activities.
Threaten or question us about the union.
Deny us the right to particpate in forming a union.
Pressure us not to join a union.
Click here for a complete list of what employers and supervisors cannot legally do.
Organizing is our right. Let's secure our future with a union contract.

18. They can NOT purposely team up non-union employees and keep them from those supporting the union.
19. They can NOT transfer workers on the basis of union affiliation or activities.
20. They can NOT choose employees to be laid off in order to weaken the union's strength or discourage membership in the union.
21. They can NOT discriminate against union people when disciplining employees.
22. They can NOT by nature of work assignments, create conditions intended to get rid of an employee because of his union activity.
23. They can NOT fail to grant a scheduled benefit or wage increase because of union activity.
24. They can NOT deviate from company policy for the purpose of getting rid of a union supporter.
25. They can NOT take action that adversely affects an employee's job or pay rate because of union activity.
26. They can NOT threaten workers or coerce them in an attempt to influence their vote.
27. They can NOT threaten a union member through a third party.
28. They can NOT promise employees a reward or a future benefit if they decide "non-union."
29. They can NOT tell employees overtime work (and premium pay) will be discontinued if the company is unionized.
30. They can NOT say unionization will force the company to lay off employees.
31. They can NOT say unionization will do away with vacations or other benefits and privileges presently in effect.
32. They can NOT promise employees promotions, raises, or other benefits if they get out of the union or refrain from joining the union.
33. They can NOT start a petition or circular against the union.
34. They can NOT urge employees to try to induce others to oppose the union or keep out of it.
35. They can NOT visit the homes of employees to urge them to reject the union.
Any of the above constitutes a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Therefore, YOU as a worker and a supporter of a free trade union movement should report these acts to a union representative immediately by calling Teamster Local 355 at 410-566-5700. Ask to speak with someone in the Organizing Department.

Shopping is when you go look at the things available and pick out the ones that you want. Buying is when you go and purchase the things that you want. Well, this weekend I went buying and I had sooooo much fun!
Hm, I guess I should tell you that I'm not one of those people who spends money. I have no credit cards. I don't even have a checkbook. It is cash only. This keeps me out of serious trouble, most of the time. I've never spent much money on myself for necessities, let alone things that I wanted just because. I am, however, addicted to clearance racks and good sales. You would be amazed what your pennies will do for you.
I have only two serious addictions: yarn and fabric. My father rolls his eyes at me in exasperation whenever I bring home more of either one. I always get the same question, "And just where are you going to put that?!" This weekend I solved part of that problem. I bought a 72″ cabinet with shelves. Why haven't I done this before? Because I didn't have $160 to spend on a cabinet. Then I saw the sale. 50% off all storage. I got all excited because I also had a $10 gift certificate for that store. What was to total cost? It was only $66. I should have bought two, but I just couldn't swing it. Now I have someplace to put a lot of my fabric that has been piling up in the craft room.
Okay, so the fabric store had their Simplicity patterns on sale for $1 each instead of the normal $8-30. I went to see if there was anything that I wanted. I didn't find anything I didn't already have. On the way out, however, I saw that their flannel was on sale for %60 off. I also had a coupon for another 15% off total purchase (including sales). This is an opportunity I could not pass up. It was only $2.50 per yard instead of $6 per yard. I'm always in need of flannel, especially at Christmas when I make all those jammies. I bought 24 yards of assorted flannels. I spent $42 and saved $83. I came home giggling with excitement and put all my new flannel in my new cabinet.
Okay so, I wasn't horribly bad. I saved more than I spent. The fabric is, in reality, part of my emergency preparedness plan. But I still felt like I'd done something forbidden. That is the feeling we all need now and again to make being responsible easier. I am so responsible that sometimes I would like to just chuck it all and be 6-years-old.
My mother cheers when I get into this kind of trouble. She thinks that sometimes I may be a little too responsible. My dad just shakes his head and occasionally rolls his eyes. Me? I just feel like the cat that ate the canary.
With the Bip, Pots and the twins it would be really easy for me to be stupid in many ways. I could spend money that I didn't have just to feel better. I could be an alcoholic or drug addict just to numb the emotions. I could have gotten into things that would have destroyed my life. I did not want any of that.
I wanted a life filled with family and joy without the debt and addictions. Being responsible became my addiction. How loud can I make my pennies scream? You would be amazed. Now that Bip and Pots have been tamed (relatively speaking) I can allow myself to cause little bits of trouble and not worry so much about going overboard. It is still a challenge sometimes because random thoughts of stupidity still roam in my head. I figure that as long as I banish them quickly and don't act on them I'm going to be fine.
So, go ahead. Cause a little trouble. It makes life more exciting.

Thousands March in U.S. to Demand Donald Trump's Impeachment
Washington, July 5 (RHC)-- Thousands of protesters have marched in dozens of cities across the United States to demand President Donald Trump's impeachment. Marchers took to the streets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, New York City, Philadelphia and other U.S. cities.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, more than 20 Democratic lawmakers are now backing a bill introduced by Maryland Congressmember Jamie Raskin that would create a commission to determine if the president is mentally or physically unfit for office.
The proposed legislation has gained support over the last week, after Trump issued sexist tweets attacking MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, calling her "crazy" and falsely claiming she was "bleeding badly from a face-lift."
In related news, yesterday, July 4th, was Independence Day in the United States. Across the U.S., activists staged protests and demonstrations to demand justice for indigenous people, immigrants, Muslims and others.
In Texas, people blockaded the July 4th parade to protest the anti-immigrant bill SB 2, which was signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Also in Texas, protesters heckled Senator Ted Cruz over his support for the Republican health care bill, chanting: "Ted wants us dead." If passed, the Republican Senate health care plan could cause 22 million Americans to lose their insurance over the next decade.

Man jailed for supplying cocaine and heroin in Southampton
A man has been jailed for supplying cocaine and heroin in Southampton.
Michael Ricketts, 60, of Randolph Street, Southampton, appeared at Southampton Crown Court today (15 August) having previously pleaded guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He was sentenced to three years in prison and drugs, paraphernalia and phones we seized in connection with this investigation were ordered to be destroyed.
The investigation carried out Operation Monument, Hampshire Constabulary's county lines drug network team, showed that Ricketts was supplying drugs for the Fire county line, which operated between Birmingham and Southampton.
Ricketts was stopped and searched in Southampton by an officer on 22 July, 2020, leading to mobile phones being seized.
DC Rob Harnett, who led the investigation, said: "Examination of the phones showed that Ricketts was a trusted lieutenant in the Fire network, having direct contact with the line holder and running the street-level end of the operation.
"By taking him off the streets, we have weakened the drug network's influence in Southampton and frustrated their efforts to pump the most harmful drugs into our neighbourhoods for profit.
"Ricketts was also a customer as well as a dealer, highlighting how these organisations exploit the most vulnerable in our community.
"Now behind bars, he can get the help he needs and also face justice for his crimes.
"I hope this investigation shows how seriously we take drug-related crime and encourages you to report any information you may have about drug dealing in Southampton to us so we can make our city safer."
Contact us on 101 or report online, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on their website or by calling 0800 555 111.

Denver's century-old St. John's Cathedral installs new tech
By Advanced ListeningAugust 30, 2018May 6th, 2019No Comments
The clergy at St. John's Cathedral in downtown Denver don't want anyone to miss out on a sermon.
For that reason, the church is taking steps to make it easier for congregants with hearing loss to listen by purchasing a new system to help reduce background noise in the 107-year-old cathedral, including echos and organ notes that waft through the church.
St. John's, located at 1350 Washington St., had the new hearing loop installed this week by Denver-based Assist2Hear. The system works by transmitting an audio signal to hearing aids or headset receivers.
"The hearing loop is to serve a portion of our congregation that has trouble hearing the sermons," said Seth Reese, communications director for St. John's.
The hearing loop, which is connected to the church's sound system with amplifiers provided by Assist2Hear, involves running about 1,200 feet of copper wire around the pews. The sound signal carried through the wire can be picked up by telecoil-enabled hearing aids or headset receivers.
The system is designed to help individuals hear more clearly by reducing background noise, reverberation and other competing sounds, said Erin Nichols, owner of Assist2Hear.
"It doesn't call attention to their disability," she said.
Assist2Hear has installed hearing loops in other community spaces in the state, including in Colorado Springs, Longmont and Boulder.
Reese said the loop not only will help elderly congregants at St. John's, but also others with hearing loss.
"One of the values we have as a church is to be welcoming and inclusive to all," he said.
Nichols declined to provide the specific price of the St. John's Cathedral project, but said it cost several thousand dollars.
St. John's will conduct a test run of the hearing loop Sunday before an official launch during services Sept. 9

Louisa Khovanski and Her Opinion about Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur
Entertainment Fashion February 28, 2022 Sachin
Describing herself:
The birth of the idea to run the business:
Her take on strong mindset:
The message she conveys through her art:
Louisa Khovanski, an elite model and a photographer has a lot to share with the budding entrepreneurs to make it big in their own arena. She has a lot of artistic skills which she honed to become a model and photographer of the best standard. In her interview, she doles out a myriad of theories that go well with lots of upcoming entrepreneurs to be influenced and emulate in the same fashion.
She grew up to have a flair for arts when she got enrolled in an art class in her childhood days. Her passion for art molded her interest in modeling and photography as they go along with each other professionally. She made her headway into her career by becoming famous on Instagram where she claims to have 1 million followers. Her area of focus, she describes, is about natural beauty and sexuality that empowers normal-looking women to strip off their shame. Her travel videos, according to her, have also been one of the raging posts which garners a lot of attraction.
She states the idea of becoming a model and photographer germinated when she became a spectator of lots of Instagram videos that displayed collaboration between the two incredible professionals. It got to her senses that blending both the art together can give birth to incredible craft which she mentions became her pursuit. A photographer who is also a model would really know the nuances of modeling and comprehend its complexities to hone the talent better. When enquired about her photography capacity, she mentions that there are quite a few limitations that have to be better. However, she claims to be courageous and talented enough to shoot in tough climatic conditions. Even during falls, when the surfaces numb the skin, she could pull her act together to film her YouTube videos. She also knows the tactics of lighting even in the night or dawn and that liberty is what motivates her to pick up this business.

According to her philosophy, Mindset is the driving force when you want to run a business. She suggests that becoming an Instagram model or a YouTuber is very difficult despite the popular opinion of it being an easy way to make money. Earning money may seem easier with this option ostensibly but one has to really be consistent in giving high-quality videos that captivate attention to stay the course of being popular. She says she does not have a team of support personnel and manages everything on her own. In times of any emergency, she would enlist some of her family members for help.
Another factor she mentions that is very important to make it big in this business is how we keep ourselves surrounded by contacts who are reliable and well-wishers. The benefit of having well-intended people by your side boosts your spirits and simultaneously mends your mindset to face the battles when it comes. The amount of effort you invest also proves to be significant as the results would be proportional to that factor in the end. She also says that she had worked continuously without any sabbatical for so many years to perfect her craft in much better standards thereby increasing her prominence in the field as well. According to her, the more we discuss and confer with people about the job by amassing information to up our ante, the better are our prospects of success. You get better by discussing and brainstorming which eventually polishes your skill to the next level. A strong mindset seems to be the fulcrum of a successful business but to achieve that a rational amount of effort is required which needs to be disposed of by every individual.

Louisa emphasizes that she has a message that she wants to pass on through her art. The purpose of her art also seems to be the driving motive of her craft. When enquired about that, she establishes the fact that she is a very free and liberal-minded individual which she believes is the liberty of other people as well. Every individual, according to her, needs to be able to create and innovate any art according to their volition. They need to be wary of not hurting or harming people in the process of progressing their craft.
She also asserts that one has to understand the disparity between vulgarity and sexuality for the differences range on a single thread. She goes on to say that she herself has been combating a lot of prejudice on the way of her progress. Society has been too bent on taking a hit at curvy women which she defines as natural sexuality. They are termed and targeted for not fitting into the beauty leagues, but they tend to be the most beautiful natural structures one can witness. Oversexualizing and objectification of women have become a norm of today that needs immediate control so as to empower women to follow their own style of beauty. She says she has taken that as her motive and strives hard to achieve that in her work as a mission.
People can contact or see her videos and posts on her official Instagram page or her YouTube channel.
Modeling as a field needs a lot of confidence and courage to flaunt your beauty. Louisa seems to have become the epitome of this field by influencing people in her way and empowering natural beauty. Her mindset and uniqueness appear to be the momentum of her success and one can easily follow her footsteps to reach big in their arena courageously.

2019 - so far so good!
On New Years Eve I'd taken the boys to Paralimni town centre just as it got dark to see the Christmas lights as we'd not got round to going there yet and I felt like we hadn't left the house in days.
We came home to a warm house, music on, bubbly chilling and so our traditional NYE evening was about to get underway!
Mum and Dad arrived and we celebrated with lots of food, drinks and music. Mostly sat ( and at various points dancing) and singing along to youtube, all the old songs that it wouldn't be NYE without!
Even Leo was singing along to Chas and Dave!
Just before midnight I played our usual countdown which ends with the 'bongs' of Big Ben and a rousing rendition of Auld Langs Syne - although we don't get the chimes live at midnight, it's just not New Year until I hear them! We all stood outside on the balcony (luckily it was not raining yet) and I opened the front door as is the tradition to let the new year in the front and out the back.
The boys had sparklers and we watched the very few fireworks that went off in the north.
An hour or so later, the boys were off to bed and I had a glass of water, cup of tea and took my make up off - that's got to be a good sign to start the year off with, last year I was having ANOTHER vodka, finishing off with a hot chocolate and baileys and falling into bed.
It worked, I woke up on January 1st with no fuzzy head, possibly the only time that has happened to me as an adult without being pregnant!
New years day was perfect, hangover free but a chilled morning all sat on the sofa reading / watching tv under a blanket, followed by a long hot bath for me (not something I'd generally do before the boys are in bed!) a little walk to the park and back with the boys on their scooters and then down to Mum and Dads for a big roast dinner, cake, card games and a few more drinks.
Decorations down, and a big clean and tidy up, no xbox, actual food for meals rather than sweets and chocolate and a normal time to bed for the boys, I'm focusing on the positive of all that so I don't feel sad that it's no longer acceptable to sit around in my dressing gown eating chocolate and drinking baileys.
Tomorrow is weigh in day - time to face the music! Of course as I should have known, my good intentions went straight out the window with our first Christmas celebrations but I enjoyed every single mouthful of yummy food and drink so stuff it, I'm back on plan now and will get on with it.
I did Day 1 this morning and I enjoyed it.
That is dedication for you! I enjoyed not getting up with a fuzzy head but I did have a nice lie in!
