Itojun, one of those few who earned the best of my respect has passed away yesterday. He was 37.
Itojun was a proud geek (see his personal website for evidences), a brilliant software developer (for one, he was one of those few who held commiter's privilege on each and every major BSD project), but most of all, he was a man of awesome personality. Brilliant yet generous, he would make it a happy habit to share what he has earned and learned with people around him, often becoming an inspiration in himself. I have known him on and off for about 6 years, and he has always been a pleasant, easy-going person who never hesitated when I asked him for help, be it major or minor.
Second last week, I met him in Tokyo, when he invited me to his place (he promised the other day he'd let me browse his shojo/josei manga collection, which is supposedly huge). I couldn't do it because I had to leave for Korea early next morning. He seemed disappointed, and I promised him I would spend at least one full night next time I visit Tokyo.
Itojun, I'm sorry I can't fulfill that promise, and I will miss you a lot. See you later, when the time and karma of mine meets yours again….

Five things to know about the trial of suspended Dover Mayor Richard Homrighausen
Nancy Molnar, The Times-Reporter
November 6, 2022, 5:12 AM ·3 min read
Now-suspended Dover Mayor P. Richard Homrighausen sits in the courtroom of Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Judge Elizabeth Lehigh Thomakos during his March 30 arraignment at the Tuscarawas County Courthouse in New Philadelphia.
NEW PHILADELPHIA – The criminal trial of suspended Dover Mayor Richard P. Homrighausen is scheduled to start Tuesday morning with jury selection.
A pretrial hearing is slated for 11 a.m. Monday to handle any issues requiring resolution before the trial. Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Judge Elizabeth Lehigh Thomakos will preside.
The mayoral drama began about two years ago when Homrighausen stopped attending City Council meetings and showing up for work, prompting a council investigation into his physical and mental well-being. Council members repeatedly called upon him to resign, citing declining faith in his ability to lead the city.
The longtime mayor returned in July 2021 and found himself at the center of a state investigation with three special prosecutors from the Ohio Auditor's Office assigned to the case. He also has been peppered with critical questions from the council about hiring, firing three employees who helped council and cost overruns at the city's power plant.
He was suspended in April by a special commission appointed by Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor.
"I will comply with the order of the special commission," the mayor said in a prepared statement at the time. "My compliance with the order of the special commission is not an admission of any wrongdoing as mayor. I will continue to defend the allegations brought by the special prosecutor. I maintain my innocence."
Here are five things to know about the case.
Now-suspended Dover Mayor Richard P. Homrighausen returns to his office Dec. 21 in Dover after firing Service Director David Douglas.
Richard Homrighausen has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Following his March indictment, Homrighausen pleaded not guilty to charges of theft in office, four counts of soliciting improper compensation, two counts of dereliction of duty, having an unlawful interest in a public contract and representation by a public official.
Seven charges relate to the collection of fees for officiating at weddings.
The theft-in-office charge alleges that he pocketed $9,295 for some 270 ceremonies.
The charges of soliciting improper compensation involve accusations that Homrighausen took money for performing four weddings. The prosecutor has said those charges are meant to put "flesh on the bones" of all the theft charges. They are expected to be examined in detail at the trial.
Both dereliction of duty charges allege that Homrighausen failed to turn over wedding fees to the city treasury between Jan. 1, 2014, and Jan. 4, 2021.
The charge of having an unlawful interest in a public contract relates to his involvement, from Nov. 1, 2012, to March 4, 2013, in the city's hiring of his son, Peter.
The charge of representation by a public official arises from Homrighausen participating in, and ruling on, an overtime grievance filed by the same son, then a city light plant employee, on Feb. 21, 2016.
Tax charges were previously dismissed.
The prosecution dismissed six tax charges in July. Special Prosecutor Robert F. Smith, of the Ohio Auditor's Office, declined to explain why he dropped the charges in July. The tax charges had alleged Homrighausen failed to report income from fees he collected for officiating at weddings.
He could go to prison and lose his pension.
Theft in office, a third-degree felony, carries a possible penalty of nine months to three years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.
A theft-in-office conviction would also result in forfeiture of his state pension.
He could be barred from holding public office.
Conviction on either theft in office or having an unlawful interest in a public contract charge would cause Homrighausen's removal from office, as both are felonies.
Now-suspended Dover Mayor Richard P. Homrighausen answers questions during a city council meeting on Jan. 18.
He's still collecting a paycheck.
Under terms of state law, Homrighausen has continued to receive his annual salary of $100,542.48 since his May 4 suspension from office by a three-judge panel appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court.
Homrighausen is in his eighth term as mayor. He was first elected in 1991 and most recently reelected in 2019. The next mayoral election will be in 2023.
Now-suspended Mayor Richard P. Homrighausen appears at the Christmas parade Dec. 4, 2021 in Dover.

'Spirit of generosity is alive' in D.C.
Taalib-Din Uqdah didn't vote for Anthony A. Williams for mayor, but when the mayor asked residents for help, Mr. Uqdah drove with his snowblower a few blocks from his home in Northwest to West Elementary School, where his niece goes to school, and spent hours blazing a path through the snow.
"I'm not a particularly big fan of [the mayor], but when somebody says they need help, they need help. I can't hear something and then not act on it," Mr. Uqdah said.
As the metropolitan area fought to emerge from one of the biggest snowstorms in its history, some residents began to focus their efforts on helping others.
"We're getting a good volunteer effort," said D.C. Council member Adrian Fenty, Ward 4 Democrat. "It's needed when you get this much snow."
Volunteers helped shovel sidewalks and stairs at schools, and those with sport utility vehicles drove hospital staff to work, made and delivered meals to sick people, and gave medical personnel rides to treat dialysis patients.
"One thing our city can be proud of is our volunteers," said Peter G. LaPorte, director of the D.C. Emergency Management Agency.
Food & Friends, a D.C.-based charity that caters to people coping with the advanced stages of life-threatening illnesses such as AIDS and cancer, saw its volunteer rolls swell after this weekend's snowstorm.
"People are getting cabin fever, and that works to our advantage," said Craig Shniderman, executive director of Food & Friends. "People that aren't going to work or school need to get out. This is where good will and self-interest come together."
Mr. Shniderman said that yesterday Food & Friends received about 20 more kitchen volunteers and 45 drivers than expected. That was slightly more than Monday. He said that because of volunteers, the organization was able to deliver 1,600 meals yesterday about 85 percent of what it usually delivers.
"It is so wonderful to see this response," he said. "It is nice to take a break from worrying about what is happening in the world to feel good about what is happening in our own neighborhood the spirit of generosity is alive in Washington."
Mr. Uqdah responded to the mayor's request Monday that D.C. residents help clear snow from public schools and shovel sidewalks in front of their homes, as well as away from fire hydrants.
He spent several hours at the school, along with William Lewis, who also brought his snowblower. Mr. Lewis has two daughters who go to school at Lewis Elementary.
"I'd do anything to help them out," said Mr. Lewis. "I'm out here because they need help, not because of the mayor."
The EMA arranged for roughly 1,500 snow shovels to be donated to volunteers, 500 of which arrived in time to be used yesterday. The other 1,000 will be available today to be picked up by volunteers at the Reeves Center, at 2000 14th Street NW.
Volunteers will need to pass a screening test, however, said EMA spokeswoman JoEllen Countee.
"We don't want people thinking they can just show up at the Reeves Center and get a shovel. We want to be sure we're putting the right people in the right position," she said.

When fuses protecting overhead distribution transformers operate, 70% of the time they're for nuisance outages where no other repair work is needed, requiring you to roll a truck unnecessarily. That equates to 70% of these maintenance costs wasted for issues that could have been altogether avoided.
VacuFuse Self-Resetting Interrupters bring fault-testing technology furthest toward the end of the grid than had previously been possible, providing you with advanced end-to-end lateral protection for the most vulnerable and difficult-to-reach locations on your system—and saving you needless maintenance expenses.
Industry data reveal that 70% of overhead distribution transformer fuses result in nuisance outages where no other repair work is needed. Often the cause of the fault cannot be found, which typically indicates the fault likely would have been temporary.
Typically, these fuses are located at the edge of the grid and in difficult-to-access areas, making straightforward fuse replacement a more time-consuming task and causing truck roll costs to escalate. As a result, utilities are experiencing permanent outages that could have been altogether avoided and unnecessarily assuming maintenance costs to roll a truck to restore power.
VacuFuse Self-Resetting Interrupters bring fault-testing technology furthest toward the edge of the grid than had previously been possible, providing utilities with true, end-to-end lateral protection in every system's most vulnerable and hard-to-reach places. With their advanced fault-mitigation technology, these fault interrupters avoid both unnecessary sustained outages and their subsequent maintenance expenses.
VacuFuse Self-Resetting Interrupters enable corollary benefits of improved reliability, safety, and crew productivity. By mitigating unnecessary sustained outages, SAIDI scores improve. And because the interrupters do not expel debris, they're safer than fuses. Eliminating nuisance outages also means crews can instead focus on proactive, grid-modernization tasks versus reactive fuse replacements that disrupt day-to-day work.

30 Shortest Celebrity Marriages Ever
Whether it's the pressures of being a public image or personal indifferences, we've rounded up 30 celebrity couples whose marriages didn't stand the test of time. In fact, some of these pairings split up not long after the ink dried on their marriage certificates!
Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman – 9 Days
NBA superstar Dennis Rodman and actress Carmen Electra eloped in Las Vegas on Nov. 14, 1998. As shocking as their rash decision was, an annulment was filed only nine days after their wedding. Strangely, they continued appearing together publicly following the news of annulment. By March 1999, though, Electra had finally filed for a divorce.

Ali Landry and Mario Lopez – 18 Days
Young, successful, and attractive – a match made in heaven, or so it seems. Celebrity couple Ali Landry and Mario Lopez married in April 2004, but didn't last that long. Landry heard rumors of Saved By The Bell star's cheating ways and filed for an annulment a little more than two weeks after they tied the knot. Proven right years later, Lopez admitted to cheating during his bachelor party in Mexico.
Eminem and Kim Mathers – 2 Months (Second Marriage)
This boisterous couple was actually married twice. It was in the 1990s when they first met, both still teenagers. Their daughter, Hailie, was born in 1995 and they married four years later in June. They first divorced in 2001, but decided to try again and re-married in January 2006. However, the last marriage lasted only two months, and the couple officially divorced again.
Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine – 32 Days
Broadway actress Ethel Merman and Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine married on June 27, 1964. However, the marriage wouldn't last long as Borgnine claims his Hollywood fame made him more recognizable in Europe than his wife. Merman in her memoir seemed to have no memory of the brief union as she purposely left out that event.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard – 15 Months
The couple met in 2011 on the set of the movie The Rum Diary, and real-life romance apparently transpired. In February 2015, the pair officially got married. However, the relationship turned into a serious drama when Heard filed a restraining order on May 27, 2016 against her husband, alleging physical and verbal abuse, although some sources allege that it was instead Heard who abused Depp. Their divorce was finalized in January 2017.

Fred Armisen and Elisabeth Moss – 8 Months
Armisen and Moss met on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2009. The then-SNL actor and Mad Men actress wed on October 25, 2009. However, the couple called it quits by May 2010. Armisen took the blame and later confessed on Howard Stern's radio show that he wasn't ready to be "tied down to one person."

Cher and Gregg Allman – 9 Days
Singer Cher married musician Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band just three days after her divorce from Sonny Bono was finalized. On July 9, 1975, nine days after their union, Cher asked to dissolve the marriage. The pair had an on-and-off relationship over the years and a son named, Elijah Blue.

Drew Barrymore and Tom Green – 163 Days
This striking couple actually pretended to be married longer than their marriage actually lasted! The pair got engaged in July 2000, but it wasn't until July 7, 2001, that they officially tied the knot. However, five months after their wedding, Green filed divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" between him and Barrymore.
Milla Jovovich and Shawn Andrews – 2 Months
Actress Milla Jovovich married actor Shawn Andrews when she was only 16 years old. "I was 16 and feeling emancipated, so I ran off to Vegas and got married to an actor," Jovovich told Britain's Daily Mail.
She later realized that her rash decision was merely a part of her adulting phase. "I'm not even into actors; I can't bear men who are constantly aware of themselves and their looks. It wasn't about being in love," she added.
Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley – 108 Days
Lisa Marie Presley (daughter of Elvis Presley) wed actor Nicolas Cage on August 10, 2002, in Hawaii. This became Presley's third marriage, with Cage proposing just 10 days earlier. The relationship lasted for only three months before the couple decided to split. In an interview with People, Presley said "I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place."
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries – 72 Days
The reality star and entrepreneur apparently had reservations about marrying NBA player Kris Humphries back in August 20, 2011. However, she eventually pushed through the wedding fearing that turning back would have people say that she "just did it for the show [Keeping Up with the Kardashians]." She couldn't hold out for long though and finally filed for divorce on October 31, 2011. She is now happily married to rapper Kanye West and has three children with him.

Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson – 122 Days
Like any ideal marriages, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson seemed to be living their fairy tale on July 9, 2006, when the couple officially got married. However, their break up once during a previous engagement in 2003 seemingly foreshadowed a failing marriage. They eventually filed for divorce in November 2006.
Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger – 225 Days
Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger married on May 9, 2005 after meeting that January of the same year at a charity concert. The country music singer and Hollywood darling tied the knot on a St. John Island beach. In September, however, Zellweger filed for divorce, citing fraud as the cause.

Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips – 8 Days
Singer Michelle Phillips met actor Dennis Hopper in 1970 and married him on October 31 of that year. Phillips soon discovered her husband's "unnatural sexual demands" and filed divorce on November 9, 1970.

Mike Tyson and Robin Givens – 1 Year
Boxer Mike Tyson wed actress Robin Givens 11 months after they met in March 1986. In a joint interview with Barbara Walters in September 1989, Givens described her life with Tyson as "worse than anything I could possibly imagine." She shortly filed for divorce that year.

Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly – 9 Months
Film co-stars Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly met during auditions for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and got married on September 23, 1996, a year after Carrey's divorce from his first wife. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't even last a full year, with Holly filing for divorce in July 1997.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand – 14 Months
Singer Katy Perry and British comedian Russell Brand married in India in October 2010. Sadly, their conflicting schedules made keeping the relationship up difficult, which fans get to witness on the big screen during Perry's documentary, Part of Me. Perry claims Brand texted her in December 2011 to tell her he was filing for a divorce. The marriage was so brief that when the singer appeared on Ellen DeGeneres show, the famed host forgot Perry had been married at all!
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds – 2 Weeks
This celebrity couple had their intimate wedding ceremony on January 1, 2008, in Bora Bora Island. Rumors had it that during the honeymoon, the couple allegedly spent more time arguing than cuddling. On January 16, 2008, the couple issued a joint statement to People magazine saying, "After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further."
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito – 4 Months
Actors Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito kept their relationship in low profile and married quietly on December 30, 2006. However, sparks seemed to have worn off immediately as the couple decided to break off their union four months later.
In Esposito's 2014 memoir, Jennifer's Way, she wrote, "He was funny, smart, cocky, arrogant, and a master manipulator. I didn't necessarily find him that attractive, but I figured that I could enjoy his sense of humor and nonsense for a while." She hasn't confirmed whether that passage was about Cooper but many have speculated it is.
Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria – 11 Months
Actress Helen Hunt wed The Simpsons star Hank Azaria on July 17, 1999, just a few months after winning an Oscar for As Good As It Gets. On August 4, 2000 though, Hunt's publicist announced the couple had already separated and would be getting divorced.
Colin Farrell and Amelia Warner – 4 Months
Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell allegedly married American actress Amelia Warner in July 2001, when she was only 19 years old. The couple shortly separated in November of the same year, with Warner claiming they were never married as the vows were "never legal."
Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada – 41 Days
Former NFL star Chad Johnson and reality TV star Evelyn Lozada tied the knot on July 4, 2012. In August of the same year, Lozada filed for divorce claiming a domestic dispute after her husband head-butted her. She called the marriage "irrevocably broken."

Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush – 5 Months
One Tree Hill co-stars Murray and Bush fell in love on the set and got married on April 16, 2005. Sadly, the reel-life magic didn't last long in real life.
"We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place," Bush shared to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. By September 2005, only five months into the marriage, she petitioned for an annulment.
Aaliyah and R. Kelly – 6 Months
This couple's secret marriage is shockingly a case of an illegal one. The two met when Aaliyah sang for R. Kelly in Chicago in August 1994. According to ABC News, Kelly was 27 years old at that time and Aaliyah was only 15. Somehow, the pair found a way to get married (the marriage license claimed the bride was 18). It didn't take long for word to get out though, and the illegal marriage was dissolved in February 1995. Sadly, Aaliyah died in a plane crash in the Bahamas in August 2001 at the age of 22.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa – 14 Months
Model Amber Rose wed rapper Wiz Khalifa on July 8, 2013 after dating for nearly two years. Despite this, Amber Rose said her marriage to Wiz Khalifa might have lasted if they dated much longer before tying the knot.
"I feel like that we just rushed into marriage because we were so deeply in love, and we kind of had a rough patch in our marriage," she said in a 2016 radio interview. The couple have a son together and continue to be on good terms despite the divorce.

Chris Kattan and Sunshine Tutt – 59 Days
SNL alum Chris Kattan met model Sunshine Tutt in 2005. He proposed on Christmas Eve 2006, and the couple got married June 28, 2008. However, they shortly separated on August 10 of the same year, and the divorce was finalized on October 10, 2008.
Nicky Hilton and Todd Meister – 85 Days
On August 15, 2004, twenty-year-old hotel heiress Nicky Hilton eloped with the 33-year-old businessman Todd Meister in Las Vegas. The couple then decided the wedding was too hasty that an annulment was filed less than three months later.
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd – 218 Days
Cris Judd was a dancer in Jennifer Lopez's 2000 music video, Love Don't Cost a Thing. He told Oprah Winfrey that it was "love at first sight." The feelings were mutual and they got married on September 21, 2001. However, due to the intrusive media attention, Judd thought his marriage has become a "circus." The couple eventually divorced in June 2002.

Shannen Doherty and Ashley Hamilton – 6 Months
The 22-year-old Beverly Hills 90210 star Shannen Doherty married 19-year-old Ashley Hamilton in September 1993 only after two weeks of courtship. The marriage ended as quickly as it started, when Doherty filed for divorce in April 1994 citing "irreconcilable differences."

Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander – 55 Hours
This marriage is probably one of the most famous and controversial shortest weddings and divorces ever known. Singer Britney Spears eloped with her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander on January 3, 2004 in a Las Vegas wedding chapel.
"Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it," Alexander said in an interview after the wedding. The pop superstar's representatives (both career and legal) acted swiftly to get their client out of the vows. Hence, on January 5, 2004, 55 hours after saying "I do," a judge annulled the couple's marriage.

Q: error concatenating multiindex pandas dataframes (categorical) L is a list of dataframes with a multiindex on the rows.
pd.concat(L,axis=1)

I get the following error (from the Categorical constructor in categorical.py):

TypeError: 'values' is not ordered, please explicitly specify the categories order by passing in a categories argument.

It clearly has something to do with the values in my dataframe, as I can get it work if I restrict the data in some way.
E.g. all of these work
a=pd.concat(L[0:6],axis=1)
b=pd.concat(L[6:11],axis=1)
c=pd.concat(L[3:9],axis=1)

but
d=pd.concat(L[0:11],axis=1)

fails.
pd.concat([x.iloc[0:1000,:] for x in L[0:11]],axis=1)

also works. I've gone through the edge cases at which it breaks, and for the life of me, I don't see anything that could be offensive in those rows. Does anyone have some ideas on what I should be looking for?

A: I just had this issue too when I did a df.groupby(...).apply(...) with a custom apply function. The error seemed to appear when the results were to get merged back together after the groupby-apply (so I must have returned something in my custom apply function that it didn't like).
After inspecting the extensive stacktrace provided by pytest I found a mysterious third value appeared in my index values:
values = Index([(2018-09-01 00:00:00, 'SE0011527613'),
                (2018-09-25 00:00:00, 'SE0011527613'),
                1535760000000000000], dtype='object')

I have absolutely no idea how it appeared there, but I managed to work around it somehow by avoiding multi-indexed stuff in that particular part of the code (extensive use of reset_index and set_index).
Not sure if this will be of help to anyone, but there you have it. If someone could attempt a minimal reproducible example that would be helpful (I didn't manage to).

A: I came across the same error:

TypeError: 'values' is not ordered, please explicitly specify the categories order by passing in a categories argument.

However, there is not much material around it. Have a look what the error log states a bit further above. I have:

TypeError: unorderable types: range() < range()
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The clue was 'range() < range()' because I had a previous problem here with Pandas interpreting '(1,2)' or '(30,31)' not as string but as 'range(1,3)' or 'range(30,32)' respectively. Very annoying as the dtypes is still object.
I had to change the column content to lists and/or drop the 'range(x,y)' column.
Hope this helps or anybody else who comes across this problem. Cheers!

A job advertisement for a western Victorian business seeking its Khaleesi and "the Batman to our Gotham" has gone viral and sparked passionate debate among copywriters online and worldwide.

N.S. group again petitions Canada to apologize for its role in slavery
When the federal government recognized Emancipation Day for the first time in 2021, it stopped short of also apologizing for its role in slavery. Now, the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent Coalition is renewing its call for that apology to take place.
2nd petition to the House of Commons now accepting signatures

When the federal government recognized Emancipation Day for the first time in 2021, it stopped short of apologizing for its role in slavery.
Now, the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent Coalition is renewing its call for that apology to take place.
"I don't really know why the apology sort of fell by the wayside," Vanessa Fells, the group's director of operations, told CBC Radio's Information Morning Nova Scotia recently.
"If you're going to recognize Emancipation Day, which is the end of the slave trade in the British Empire, then perhaps apologizing for those atrocities, should also go with that."
Fells has created a second petition to the federal government that calls for an apology from Canada, a renewed commitment to addressing the generational effects of enslavement, and the official recognition of Black Canadians as a distinct group in this country.
Information Morning - NS7:44New push to get federal apology for enslavement of Black people in Canada
Hear how some of the same people who pushed for the official end of slavery in the British Empire to be recognized, now want to see an apology from the federal government for slavery and official recognition that Black Canadians are a distinct group in this country.
Fells said Black Canadians often feel relegated to a larger group of visible minorities.
"And when that happens, we tend to get lost," she said.
It's time for Canada to apologize for slavery, says N.S. senator
Nova Scotia's history of slavery is marked by brutality, but it has been largely erased: scholar
"So by creating legislation that legally recognizes us as people, you're then starting to again create more ways for conversation and create more ways to repair these past harm."
The petition needs 500 signatures to go before the House of Commons.
It's the second petition of its kind. The first, which Fells was also a part of, resulted in a private members bill and a unanimous decision by MPs to formally mark Aug. 1 as the day the British Empire abolished slavery.
Apology to No. 2 Construction Battalion this summer
On that day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect, freeing about 800,000 enslaved people in most British colonies.
Senator Wanda Thomas Bernard has been one of the people pushing Canada to confront its horrific history, and to begin to make reparations for it.
Thomas Bernard told CBC Radio's Mainstreet in July that an apology is necessary because it "would signal to African Canadians a recognition that our presence and our contributions and the harms that we've experienced over the years, that there's some ownership … there's some responsibility taken for that."

The petition points to apologies Canada has made to groups such as the Japanese and Ukrainians who faced discrimination and persecution. It also notes that in 2017, a report by the United Nations called for Canada to apologize for the lasting harms caused by slavery.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau travelled to Nova Scotia to apologize to the descendents of the No. 2 Construction Battalion for the discrimination and racism they faced during the First World War.
El Jones's powerful poem sheds light on slavery in N.S. and the struggle for freedom
"To get it right, a lot of consultation has to go into the apology," said Andy Fillmore, the MP for Halifax who sponsored both of Fell's petitions.
"The government really didn't say no to making this apology that they requested, it was more like we need to get this right and we're on our way to it," he added.
Fillmore is a member of the Parliamentary Black Caucus, which he says is standing by Fells and also requesting an apology.
Petition open until March
After the petition closes on March 8, Fillmore said he will table it in the House of Commons and the government will then have 45 days to respond.
In an email, a spokesperson from the Office of the Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion wouldn't say whether an apology could be coming.
"We recognize that while slavery was abolished nearly two centuries ago, Canada's dark history and the destructive legacy it has had on generations of Black communities across the country still exists today," the department said.
The spokesperson said Canada is committed "to continuing to work with Black communities to break systemic barriers, fight inequities, and build a better future for everyone."
That needs to begin with an apology, said Fells.
"Being able to recognize that and apologize for it is the first step in reparations. It's the first step in repairing this type of harm."

With accents of hues of red resembling fruitful cranberries, plentiful kisses, and the quaintest inn, Anny and Stews wedding at Temecula Creek Inn was immaculate and stunning. The wooden arbor, covered with greenery and blooming flowers became an amazing centerpiece for the couple to share their vows. Our favorite part had to be when everyone tossed white confetti in the air as the newly weds walked up the aisle. Not to mention the beautiful reception area, filled with twinkling lights, gold bottles, red accents, and mesmerizing florals. Plus, everybody loves a good party dance, and that's exactly what this wedding had- two staged dances from the bridal party and groomsmen (we know, it was pretty epic).
Anny and Stew- thanks so much for letting us capture your special day!

Reviews	• Broadway	Published 20 December 2012
Belasco Theatre ⋄ 8th November 2012 - 20th January 2013
A Clifford Odets K.O.
Jason Wooden
"Is the fist mightier than the fiddle?" If you aren't true to yourself can you still achieve true success? Can one truly love with hate in his or her heart? Clifford Odets's remarkable play, Golden Boy, tears through these emotional and moral questions with the same grace and precision of a prizefighter in the ring. Lincoln Center Theater's extraordinary seventy-fifth anniversary production, now playing at the Belasco Theatre, where it originally played in 1937, is a real knockout and by far one of the best plays of 2012!
At the helm of this steady ship is director Bartlett Sher. You may recall that Mr. Sher has had major success in 2006 with Odets's Tony Award winning revival of Awake and Sing! as well as highly celebrated revivals of South Pacific and Joe Turner's Come and Gone, all at Lincoln Center. Mr. Sher is truly an actor's director, and he has assembled a riveting 19-person cast including Tony Shalhoub, Seth Numrich, and Danny Burstein, all of whom are giving dynamite performances. There is a real sense that the cast understands Odets's naturalistic, often poetic, and directly honest style of writing, and Sher stages the play expertly and aids in bringing these people to life. Some of the characters, for example Tony Shalhoub's Mr. Bonaparte, an old-world Italian man speaking in broken English, could easily come off as cliché or cartoonish. In the hands of this trustworthy director, however, and the fantastically talented Shalhoub (Lend Me a Tenor) we see a fully realized, kind-hearted character that only wants the best for his children. He wants them to find their own "truthful success" in life. Bartlet Sher found a way to connect with the vernacular of Odets's text and communicate that through his actors, the production's staging, and his design team in a way that makes this play feel fresh, gritty, stylish, and wholeheartedly dramatic at the same time!
Golden Boy tells the story of Joe Bonaparte (the phenomenal Seth Numrich), a young, gifted violinist who forsakes his family and artistic dreams in service of his desire of fame and fortune as a championship boxer. Seth Numrich's smartly layered and nuanced performance is astonishing. Numrich's ability to take his character on the journey from well-mannered uncertainty and insecurity to a ferociously confident fighting machine is riveting to watch. Danny Burnstein's tenderness as Tokio, Joe's trainer, is heartbreakingly profound and moving. Yvonne Strahovski's Lorna Moon, "the dame of Newark" who falls in love with Joe in the midst's of an affair she is already having with Joe's manager, is tough as nails and wisecracking on the outside and an emotional disaster on the inside. Strahovski, making a stunning Broadway debut, is able to transform a formulaic 1930s blonde bombshell character in to a tortured soul that evokes just as much care from the audience as the man she is in love with. There are a few moments in Odets's script that veer toward melodrama and heavy-handedness. This astounding group of actors, under Mr. Sher's wing, is able to overcome the text's limitations and reach that completely realized, three-dimensional level of bringing characters to the stage that is mesmerizing to watch.
It can not go with out mention that Lincoln Center Theater and Sher have assembled a top-notch crew of designers for Golden Boy who deliver the TKO of the evening. Michael Yeargan's dark and gritty set not only smartly establishes locations but also evokes a feeling and mood. Catherine Zuber's costumes are period-appropriate and feel like they belong in the same world Mr. Yeargan has created. My favorite element is Donald Holder's lighting design. The entire show is lit with white lights, and his ability to direct our attention and make moments shiner throughout is remarkable.
Nowadays commercial producers do not take big chances on plays. Mix in a large cast, multiple sets, costumes, and no bankable major star and you may not even get Bialystock and Bloom to invest in revival of a play! It is refreshing that a non-profit like Lincoln Center Theater will take a chance on a large, fully staged revival of one of the truly great plays in the American canon. What we learn is when a big risk is taken there can be a huge reward. In the context of the play, we come to find that the fist might just be mightier than the fiddle and the quest for one's truthful success and love can be tragic. So tighten up your sparring gloves and prepare for a tour de force production! It's remarkable that a play first performed at the same theatre in 1937 can still pack a powerful punch seventy-five years later.

Journalist Kevin Bloom has warned against the myth that the recent gas discovery will rescue the South African economy.
Bloom wrote an in-depth piece on the Daily Maverick analysing the Brulpadda prospect off the Mossel Bay coast, which is said to be a game-changer for Mzansi.
Bloom strongly argues that the trickle-down effect of economic growth doesn't work when it comes to natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa.
Bloom says he's seen the so-called 'commodity curse' first hand in the heart of the oil-producing Niger Delta, in South Sudan and in Central African Republic.
He adds that any potential economic benefit should not come at the cost of the environment and explains that climate change is an example of market failure.
Bloom doubts that any South Africans, aside from what he calls the entrenched elite, will benefit from the gas find.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2012 found that [the trickle-down effect] doesn't work at all in sub-Saharan Africa.
We need six planets to, according to some of the latest estimates, keep on burning fuel the way we are.
Total announced on Thursday that it has opened up a "world-class" new oil and gas province off the coast of Mossel Bay.
The French energy company announced on Thursday the discovery of a 'significant' gas condensate.


Two years after her daughter Christina's tragic and sudden death, Tina Grimmie's mother has died of breast cancer.
"We are saddened to announce the loss of our beloved Tina, also affectionately known as 'Mama Grimmie' to the millions of fans of Christina Grimmie around the world. She will be missed immensely," the Grimmie family said in a statement shared on social media Sunday.
On June 10, 2016, Christina was shot after performing as the opening act for Before You Exit at The Plaza Live venue near downtown Orlando. Grimmie's brother Marcus heroically tackled her assailant Kevin James Loibl to the ground, before the latter turned the gun on himself. The singer was 22.
"Tina Grimmie was a powerful and shining example of motherhood, being an amazing wife while giving love and encouragement to others. Her laugh, energy, passion and joyful spirit will eternally be a part of all of us," the statement added.
In October 2014, Christina, who rose to fame on YouTube and later starred on season 6 of The Voice, revealed that her mother had survived breast cancer four times.
"My mom has had breast cancer four times, now. And she just got put back on chemo again," she told AXS at the time.
After Christina's death, the Christina Grimmie Foundation was created to support families who have lost a loved one to gun violence or have a member diagnosed with breast cancer.
In lieu of flowers, the Grimmie family asks that donations be made to the Christina Grimmie Foundation in Tina's honor.
Tina is survived by her husband Bud and son Marcus.

Molly Healey, Dallas Jones and HeartPunch
It's time to slow things down with these new albums from 417-land singers and songwriters.
Written by Ettie Berneking
Nightbirds
There's exciting news for those familiar with the talented Springfield duo Molly Healey and Dallas Jones: Healey ended the year with a debut album, Nightbirds. This nine-track album puts Healey's cello and violin skills on display in an almost entirely instrumental performance. It's a soothing listening experience, especially when Healey's cello takes center stage. With the cello serving as the lead in most songs, there's a heartache quality to the album, and it's one we hope Healey will soon repeat. You can find Healey's Nightbirds on Spotify or purchase the album at mollyhealey.com.
Borrowed Time
Speaking of Molly Healey, she and Dallas Jones released a new album in November called Borrowed Time. Each song drips with colorful storytelling that paints a picture of life, making it a country album you want to sit and listen to. Despite the deceiving slow start to the first song, this 12-song compilation has plenty of life and plenty of twang. The fifth song, "Country Boy is Cryin'," takes us back to the days of Merle Haggard, which we won't ever complain about. Find Borrowed Time at bandcamp.com.
Hinky
If you're in the mood for something that's a little more rock n' roll, turn up the volume and hit play on HeartPunch's new album Hinky. The echo-y vocals blend with the electric guitar to create a sound that takes us back to the days when garage bands were the it thing, but with HeartPunch, there's a more polished sound that comes out. Songs on this album range from alternative rock ballads to head-banging thrashers that you just can't help but love. You can rock out to Hinky on iTunes.

What Don't You Know About Your Spend: How Community Intelligence from Peer Group Data Reveals Previously Undiscovered Opportunities to Spend Smarter
Charlene Wang
Director, Product & Segment Marketing for Coupa's Community Intelligence and Coupa Pay
Charlene Wang holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In part one of this blog post, Not Just Any Crowdsourcing, we discussed how to take the best of consumer crowdsourcing and adapt the technology and principles to the business world with some critical enhancements. For example, in business, we don't just want information from any crowd. We want information from our crowd, or 'peer group'-sourced data and information. We also want that information to be predominantly fact and data-based – rather than just subjective opinions – and comprehensive on a global scale. Plus, we don't just want to know what our problems are, we want to know how to solve them.
In this post we're going to delve more into how crowdsourcing has evolved into peer group community intelligence that helps community members make better decisions. At Coupa, we are working closely with customers to pioneer capabilities that provide a community-intelligence-driven platform for B2B spend management that drives measurable improvements in spend outcomes. These capabilities are best illustrated by a few Coupa customer stories, starting with Teleperformance, one of the largest global outsourcing companies in the world.
Getting Control Over Something as Big and Complex as Managing a Country
Wade Lyons, VP of Global Procurement, is always searching for ways to drive greater efficiency and provide a positive user experience. With a staggering 300,000 employees in 80 countries, Wade's job is complex. (As a comparison, Iceland has around 300,000 residents, so Wade's job is like managing a country, except that instead of having all his constituents in one geo, Wade's constituents are all over the world!)
Before using Coupa, it was difficult for Wade to pinpoint where he could get more efficiencies out of existing processes. But by reviewing insights powered by community intelligence, he now can easily pinpoint the right areas to focus on. For example, Wade was able to see that his approver cycle times for POs were much slower than best-in-class for his industry. These slow cycle times were delaying important purchases and frustrating business managers.
Improving PO Cycle Times and Accelerating New Supply Chain Development
Coupa Community Insights prescribed turning on Approver Insights, which provides end-users with community-based feedback when their cycle times are slower than the community average. Wade explains that, after turning Approver Insights on, "We've seen a reduction in cycle times of 54%, and we can now identify which suppliers the community already trusts so that we can launch in new markets faster." Wade's story illustrates the need for a large and unified dataset in order to find the right insights to help his company.
Coupa's Recipe for Community Intelligence and the (Not So) Secret Sauce
Coupa's business spend management (BSM) platform is built on the foundation of a large and growing community. With a vision to unify data, we built a cloud-native platform architected for big data. Today, Coupa Community Intelligence applies AI and machine learning to over $1.4 trillion of Coupa community spend data from over 1,000 customers and five million suppliers. There are essential ingredients to cooking up a community-intelligence-driven platform capable of managing and informing B2B procure and spend. While they aren't secrets, some are hard to come by.
What Wade Needed for Teleperformance, Coupa Delivered
First, a large pool of accurate, unified data at scale with a common taxonomy that allows for meaningful analysis and legal permission to (anonymously) share this data. As part of Coupa's initial vision started a decade ago, most all customers opt-in to anonymously share their data for community intelligence. There have been very few exceptions. This opt-in presents a meaningful barrier for other solutions to replicate what we do.
Second, Coupa provides a powerful cloud-native platform and AI-driven big data solution in order to unify and analyze so much data. Such a solution needs a consistent data architecture and AI-based classification of all spend data. In sync with the company's vision, Coupa was architected from its inception on the cloud with a consistent data structure that was designed to unify massive amounts of complex spend data in order to provide best-practice prescriptive actions to help companies spend smarter.
Our next story illustrates how community intelligence can provide prescriptive recommendations that help companies take action based on community intelligence.
Powerful Insights and Easy Prescriptions to Improve Spend Outcomes
The Andersons – a diversified company rooted in agriculture that conducts business globally in the commodity trading, ethanol, plant nutrient, and rail sectors – has company spend occurring at hundreds of corporate offices and sites in the field. Chad McDonald, Director of Procurement, has the challenging job of finding ways to get leverage across that spend for savings and efficiencies.
Chad thought he had too many vendors in some categories, which he felt was inefficient and kept him from getting the best pricing or highest quality products. However, Chad didn't have compelling data to convince colleagues how company-wide sourcing and supplier consolidation was a smart move. Community intelligence provided Chad with benchmarks that identified his company had three times as many suppliers for safety equipment than the industry average. Finally, Chad had some compelling data he could use to convince his colleagues.
Community Intelligence Provided the Ammunition to Convince Others
Chad explained, "Community intelligence (gave) me the information to make the case to consolidate spend and identified a $100,000 savings opportunity." Using this data, Chad is now having meaningful conversations with business units to consolidate spend to preferred suppliers with negotiated discounts and quality controls.
Coupa community intelligence also helps Chad find reliable, trusted new suppliers quickly. Chad can search for community-trusted suppliers using criteria including commodities supplied, ship-to countries, CSR data, ratings, and more. This helps Chad source reliable new vendors faster, and if you want to learn more about how you could do the same, see How To Discover New Suppliers Using Community Intelligence.
A Prescriptive Approach that Provides Specific, Actionable Steps
A prescriptive approach is built into the Coupa platform at the transactional level (see Why Spend Management Requires A Prescriptive Approach). Coupa Community Intelligence starts by providing companies with benchmarks against peers on key spend efficiency metrics – including match rates, cycle times, policy compliance, on-contract spend, savings capture, percentage of electronic invoices, and more. It then identifies improvement opportunities that companies might not otherwise be aware of, and, perhaps most importantly, then leverages community best practices to provide prescriptive actions to achieve that improvement.
Like Waze does for you when it re-routes you in real-time based on traffic data and new accidents along your planned route, Coupa uses real-time data from the business community to recommend the best steps to drive results in your business spend. Coupa will reveal previously unknown areas for improvement and provide prescriptive actions based on peer-group best practices. For example, customized prescriptions are provided for everything from realizing early payment discounts to strategic sourcing. Coupa also provides collaboration capabilities that allow users to assign a task to a specific owner and monitor the progress on the resolution.
Reducing Risk with Community Intelligence – Fraud Detection and Vendor Risk Monitoring
Coupa's AI-based fraud detection draws on Coupa's pool of community spend data to detect suspicious behavior patterns across your spend, so you can audit questionable transactions before they are paid. This prevents fraud and spend leakages without your auditors working overtime.
A key benefit of the Coupa platform is that AI does this at scale. Human beings just cannot monitor this much supplier and employee data at once – it's just too much. However, smart AI with the right dataset can. Coupa further supplements this capability by providing "in-moment" capabilities that allow you to prevent spend leakage by stopping certain (suspicious) transactions before they are paid, far preferable to trying to claw back payments after the fact.
In addition to automatically detecting suspicious transactions, Coupa monitors news and community data to detect emerging vendor risks across a company's entire supply base. For example, a top-ranked research hospital with billions of dollars in operating revenue had too many suppliers. They couldn't monitor each consistently, and some suppliers were sending unwanted invoices that were not pre-authorized. One supplier – that was showing no outward signs of being risky – was repeatedly sending invoices. Everything looked normal, and the supplier and the transactions were flying under the radar.
Community Intelligence Helps Identify and Reject Illegitimate Invoices
Coupa flagged the supplier due to a low community intelligence trustworthiness score, which is based on AI analysis of behavior patterns across Coupa's five million suppliers. Other customers in the community had rejected the supplier's invoices at an abnormally high rate. The organization investigated the supplier and discovered that the supplier was sending multiple invoices for un-approved product purchases.

If something is scurrilous, it's meant to offend. Scurrilous rumors can give you a bad reputation, and scurrilous stories sell tabloid magazines.
If you say something scurrilous about someone, your intentions are bad: you mean to damage their reputation or insult them (or quite possibly both). Writing an article for the school newspaper in which you claim that your math teacher has a secret life as a circus clown could be seen as a scurrilous attack, unless she proudly moonlights entertaining kids with her juggling skills. This adjective comes from the Latin scurrilis, "buffoonlike."

A German sweets firm has apologized after posting an image of a chocolate-covered marshmallow in a bridal dress on the day of the royal wedding.
Super Dickmann's post included the caption: "What are you looking at? Wouldn't you also want to be Meghan for today?"
A spokesman for the company branded the post "stupid and embarrassing" after it faced a fierce backlash.
Social media users labeled the now-deleted image as "racist" and "pathetic."
The company later apologized for the incident, saying: "Super Dickmann's world is colorful and diverse and far from racist thoughts."
Spokesman Bernd Roessler said not enough thought had been put into the post.
Facebook users criticised the apology, with one person writing: "Pathetic campaign, pathetic response. I hope there will be financial consequences for you."

Meghan Markle, the new Duchess of Sussex, who identifies as mixed race, has often spoken about the racial prejudices she has faced.
Following the media storm surrounding her new relationship with Harry in November 2016, the prince released a statement warning off the press and public about harassment and racial abuse.
It read: "His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment.
"Some of this has been very public — the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments."

Morocco: Guilty verdicts returned in unfair Hirak trials must be overturned
27 June 2018, 17:05 UTC
The guilty verdicts and heavy sentences returned in the cases of 53 Hirak protesters in Casablanca must be overturned due to the unfair nature of their trials, Amnesty International said today.
Protest leaders Nasser Zefzafi and Nabil Ahamjik were last night sentenced to 20 years in prison, along with two other protesters, in connection with protests in the Rif region in 2017. Other protesters were given prison sentences ranging from one year to 15 years.
"These convictions are unsafe given the extremely unfair nature of the trials," said Heba Morayef, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director.
"Nasser Zefzafi and others who have been convicted and imprisoned for protesting peacefully for social justice or covering demonstrations online should never have been on trial in the first place. He must be released and his conviction overturned."
These convictions are unsafe given the extremely unfair nature of the trials
Heba Morayef
Three protesters were sentenced to 15 years in prison, and seven others were sentenced to 10 years in prison. Ten protesters were sentenced to five years in prison and also given a fine of 2,000 Moroccan dirhams (approximately $210 USD). Eight protesters were sentenced to three years imprisonment, 19 to two years imprisonment, and one to one year in prison; all were given the same fine. One other defendant was not sentenced to prison, but was given a fine of 5,000 Moroccan dirhams (approximately $520 USD).
"Those reasonably suspected of responsibility for recognizably criminal offences should be retried in proceedings that full conform to international fair trial standards, or released," said Heba Morayef.
"Amnesty International also has serious concerns surrounding the nature of the so-called 'confessions' submitted as evidence as detainees have described torture and other ill-treatment at the hands of the police during interrogation. The 'confessions' extracted under duress should have been excluded from trial proceedings."
A number of defendants claimed in court that their confessions had been extracted under torture, but the court failed to order an effective investigation into this. On 3 July 2017, detained protester Omar Bouhrass told the investigating judge at the Casablanca Court of Appeals that he had been tortured. According to his lawyer, Bouhrass said that police beat him while ordering him to say "Long live the King", stripped him of his underwear, broke two of his teeth, and threatened and insulted him following his arrest in Al Hoceima.
In many cases, the prosecution accused most of the defendants of generally "inciting", "participating" or being "complicit" in "unrest" without providing any evidence of their individual criminal responsibility with regards to any acts of violence. Under international human rights law, participation in an unauthorized demonstration is not in and of itself grounds for imprisonment but must be accompanied by a recognizable criminal offence such as involvement in acts of violence.
Protests against unfair trials
Nasser Zefzafi was on hunger strike from 23 May to 3 June in protest at the unfair nature of the trials and poor conditions of detention. In solidarity, 22 other detainees also began a hunger strike that lasted between four to 19 days. Nasser Zefzafi has been in prolonged and indefinite solitary confinement for over a year.
Rabie Lablak, who is still on hunger strike, called his mother to say goodbye on Saturday 16 June saying that he was ready to die because of the unfairness of the trial. The next day, the prison administration issued a statement denying that Lablak was on hunger strike. However, his lawyer visited him recently and confirmed again that he was still on hunger strike. According to information received by Amnesty International, he has not been seen by a doctor since 14 June.
On 12 June, 49 of the detainees signed a common declaration explaining they were boycotting the trial because they considered it unfair.
Yesterday's verdict confirmed that the case of journalist Hamid El Mahdaoui, also held in Casablanca, has been separated from that of the other 53 defendants. His trial will resume tomorrow (Thursday 28 June).
Since May 2017, Moroccan security forces have arrested hundreds of protesters, including children and several journalists, over the largely peaceful protests. Those arrested include scores of protesters, activists and bloggers in the Rif, northern Morocco, who protested to demand an end to marginalization of their communities and to call for better access to services in the region.
The Casablanca Court of Appeals brought charges against 54 people in connection with the Rif protest movement, or Hirak in Arabic. Most charges brought against protest leader Nasser Zefzafi and his co-defendants are inconsistent with Morocco's human rights obligations since they criminalise the peaceful exercise of the rights to freedom of assembly, association and expression.
Protesters described torture and other ill-treatment, including heavy beatings, suffocation, stripping, rape threats and insults, inflicted by police upon arrest and during interrogation, sometimes to force them to "confess" to crimes.
In July last year, the Minister of Justice announced investigations into at least 66 cases of suspected police torture or other ill-treatment of protesters in custody. In Casablanca, 22 of the 54 were submitted to medical examination by a doctor appointed by the investigative judge, but no judicial investigation was open.
Judges also failed to exclude as evidence in the trial statements that the defendants said had been extracted under, in breach of Morocco's international obligations under international law.

Q: Presto SQL/Hive Sub query or join? I am working on a query that requires I join with another hive table to pull a username using a user ID number. Is it possible to write a sub-query just for the result of that user name or should I do a Join?
Table 1: Assigned_Tasks has columns for task_number, owner_id, title, description, progress, ds
Table 2: Employee_info has columns for employee_id, employee_name, employee_team
SELECT task_numb,
owner_id,
title,
description,
progress
WHERE ds = 'DATEID'
AND progress != 'FINISHED'

I need to use the owner_id(int) to get employee_name(string) from another hive table. Does it make sense to join with the other table or use a subquery and display the result in the owner_id column? How would that be structured?
Example:
SELECT
task_numb,
(SELECT employee_name
FROM employee_info
WHERE employee_id = owner_id) as Owner
title,
description,
progress
WHERE ds = '<today>'
AND progress != 'FINISHED'

A: why not use simple join with emp tbale ?
SELECT
task_numb,
e.employee_name as Owner
title,
description,
progress
from Assigned_Tasks
join employee_info e on  employee_id = owner_id  -- join emp table.
WHERE ds = '<today>'
AND progress != 'FINISHED'

if emp id is unique in employee_info table, there shouldnt be any issue.

How To Boost Gratitude. And Why You Should Want To.
Do You Know These 10 Exercises For Boosting Happiness? Probably Not.
These are the top 10 interventions that are not discussed nearly enough - but they should be! I'll also follow-up with a post about the top 10 most popular strategies for boosting happiness.
Are you coasting through life or flourishing? Unfortunately, most people are not flourishing. That's a disappointing fact. The majority of people are languishing—going through the motions of life, not feeling very strong mentally, and not feeling they have many strong connections with others. In other words, most people are not functioning at their best.
In a previous post I discussed heartfulness as it relates to interpersonal relationships-- bringing kindness and compassion to others. But, now let's explore the equally important task of using heartfulness intrapersonally- giving kindness and compassion back to yourself.
There is an old, well-known story about a farmer finding an eagle egg that reminds us about the importance of living our full potential. Have you heard this one?
Allow me to explain this paradox; and then I'll provide five tips to help you with your practice.

Q: Detect when AJAX changes HTML in a DIV in WebBrowser After I load a page through a WebBrowser, and I click a link that fires an AJAX script, I need to detect when the AJAX java script finishes loading HTML changes into a div. Since no DocumentCompleted event is fired when the AJAX script is run, I don't know when it finish running. Is there a way I can attach an event to be raised after I know 100% that the javascript finished changing the div?
The project is in C#.
Thanks

A: I did something similar recently (using jQuery):
$('#mydiv').change(function(){
        // do stuff
    }
);

Granted, I also use jQuery to set the HTML of that div. I suppose one non-jQuery approach for you could be to set HTML through your own function, which in turn can fire an onchange event.
@New in town: From my experience that is not correct. I use this on multiple DIVs that never get focus in the first place, and it works well and consistently. The normal behavior is as you describe, and normally only applies to the INPUT and SELECT elements, but this is not the case with jQuery.

A: There is no event. You must patch the JavaScript callback that the browser runs when the reply for the AJAX request comes in. This will contains code like "div.innerHTML = ...". Just put your code below that.
