Aloe vera is a perennial plant which flourishes in subtropical and tropical locations.
These include southern Africa, where it most probably originated, the warmest parts of the Mediterranean, Latin America, and the Caribbean. As befits a plant which likes lots of hot sunshine, its leaves can hold a lot of water … in technical terms, it is a succulent. It will grow to a metre in height, with fleshy, spear-like leaves of similar length. These leaves contain a gel which is mainly water but which also contains substances called glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Glycoproteins inhibit pain and inflammation; and polysaccharides stimulate skin growth and repair.
These … and other … beneficial properties have been recognised by mankind for thousands of years. Egyptians have made medicinal use of aloe vera for more than six millennia, at one time calling it the "Plant of Immortality." Arab traders first took aloe vera plants to India more than two-and-a-half thousand years ago; and in rather more recent times, The East India Trading Company relied heavily on the plants for their commercial value in the seventeenth century. The first known reference to aloe vera in Ancient Greece was made by the physician, Aulus Celsus, who recommended aloe as a purgative. The Greek herbalist Dioscorides noted that aloe vera induced sleep, cleansed the stomach, had skin benefits and stopped hair loss. The Chinese have used aloe vera as a medicinal plant for well over a thousand years; and the plant has been used throughout Asia for many centuries.
With such an authoritative report, what on earth prompts me to add a note of caution? Let's start with one of the wilder claims made for aloe vera. First, be wary of any claims that aloe vera can treat or cure cancer. These are not my words, but are taken from the website of Cancer Research UK (CRUK). Heed these words; and be wary of any claims that aloe vera can treat or cure cancer. Second, since aloe vera can interact with other drugs, it's a good idea for people on prescription drugs to have a word with their doctor before starting to drink the juice. Third, products made with aloe vera juice or gel are widely available from herbal shops and from chemists, in supermarkets and on-line. Prices for similar products can vary widely; so caveat emptor … let the buyer beware! It's well worth while comparing prices, especially if you intend to use the product regularly. And finally, CRUK recommends that customers for aloe vera products check that the label carries the THR Certification Mark – a sign that the product meets the quality and safety requirements of the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA). But I can't find any aloe vera products on the MHRA website nor, unsurprisingly, can I find such a thing in the shops. I suspect CRUK is mistaken on this point.


Four ways to move forward. By Ramesh Thakur.
Five years ago hopes were high that the world was at last headed towards nuclear disarmament. In April 2009, the (then) exciting new US President Barack Obama gave an inspiring speech in Prague wherein he outlined his dream of a world freed of the existence and threat of nuclear weapons. The United States and Russia negotiated a new strategic arms reduction treaty (New START) that cuts their deployed strategic nuclear warheads by one-third to 1,550 each. The inaugural Nuclear Security Summit in Washington attracted broad international buy-in to an ambitious new agenda. In contrast to the scandalous failure of its 2005 predecessor, the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference was a modest success.
By the end of 2012, as reported in our inaugural report, much of this sense of optimism had evaporated. By the end of 2014, as our follow-up reportNuclear Weapons: The State of Play 2015 documents, pessimism had returned.
North Korea conducted its third nuclear test in 2013 and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is yet to enter into force. We are still no closer to resolving the challenge posed by North Korea and a comprehensive agreement on Iran eluded negotiators by the extended deadline last November. Talks on an NPT-mandated nuclear-weapon-free zone in the highly volatile Middle East have stalled.
New START was signed and ratified, but it left stockpiles intact and disagreements about missile defence and conventional-arms imbalances unresolved. Nuclear weapons numbers have decreased in the US, Russia, the UK and France, but are increasing in Asia (India, Pakistan, China and North Korea); and fissile material production to make still more warheads is not yet banned.
Cyber-threats to nuclear weapons systems have intensified, outer space remains at risk of nuclearization and the upsurge of geopolitical tensions over the crisis in Ukraine has produced flawed conclusions about the folly of giving up nuclear weapons on the one hand, and open reminders about Russia's substantial nuclear arsenal on the other.
The peoples of the world recognize the risks and dangers of nuclear arsenals. Curiously, however, their concerns and fears find little reflection in media coverage or governments' policy priorities. In a Pew Research Center survey, nuclear weapons were chosen as the top threat in 10 of the 44 countries polled (including nuclear-armed states Russia and Pakistan), and as the second gravest threat in another 16 (including China). They were rated the top threat by 20% of the people in the Middle East, 19% in Europe, 21% in Asia, 26% in Latin America, 22% in Africa and 23% in the US.
Indeed, it helps to conceptualize the nuclear weapons challenge in the language of risks. Originally, many countries acquired the bomb in order to help manage national security risks. As the four famous strategic heavyweights of Henry Kissinger, Sam Nunn, William Perry and George Shultz – all card-carrying realists – argued in a series of five influential articles in The Wall Street Journal (2007–13), after the Cold War, the risks of nuclear proliferation and terrorism far outweigh their modest contributions to security.
We must ensure that existing weapons stockpiles are not used; that all nuclear weapons and materials are secured against theft and leakage to rogue actors like terrorist groups; and that all nuclear reactors and plants have fail-safe safety measures in place with respect to designs, controls, disposal and accident response systems.
For example by strengthening the stability-enhancing features of deterrence, such as robust command and control systems and deployment on submarines. Russia and the US could help by taking their 1,800 nuclear warheads off high-alert, ready to launch within minutes of threats being supposedly detected. Other countries could abandon their interest in things like tactical nuclear weapons that have to be deployed on the forward edges of potential battlefields and require some pre-delegation of authority to use to battlefield commanders. Because any use of nuclear weapons could be catastrophic for planet Earth, the decision to do so must be restricted to the highest political and military authorities.
There are no national security objectives that Russia and the US could not meet with a total arsenal of under 500 nuclear warheads each deployed in the air (a few), on land (some) and at sea (most). And if all the others froze their arsenals at current levels, this would give us a global stockpile of 2,000 bombs instead of the current total of nearly 16,400.
Ratifying and bringing into force the CTBT, concluding a new fissile material cutoff treaty, banning the nuclear weaponization of outer space, respecting one another's sensitivities on missile defence programs and conventional military imbalances, etc. would all contribute to minimizing risks of reversals and setbacks.
Successive international commissions, from the Canberra Commission through the Tokyo Forum, Blix Commission and Evans–Kawaguchi Commission have emphatically reaffirmed three core propositions. As long as any state has nuclear weapons, others will want them. As long as they exist, they will be used again some day, by design, miscalculation, accident, rogue launch or system malfunction. Any such use anywhere could spell catastrophe for the planet.

I've been wearing Jockey for 34 years, but you know they stretch out after a while. I tried a bunch of different brands of underwear over the last few years.
But now I'm switching over to these Gamyu Boxer Briefs exclusively now because they're so far superior to anything else I've tried. I can't wear anything else after trying them.
The best feature is the pocket which holds you package in place no matter what. Yes ... they're more expensive than your average briefs.
But I've been washing them repeatedly and have seen absolutely no wear and tear on the garment. These are made to last a very long time.

Post-War Perversion in Italian Cinema: From Visconti to Pasolini, Part One
Posted by: Samm Deighan in Feature Articles, Slider October 16, 2016 0
The Damned (1969)
With the release of Luchino Visconti's 1969 film La caduta degli dei aka The Damned, Italian cinema of the 1970s developed an unusual preoccupation with the convergence of WWII themes — particularly the effects of fascism and brutality — and sexual perversion, a leitmotif that began with Italian neorealism in the 1940s and continued through to German arthouse cinema of the 1980s. This loose movement became popular in cult and exploitation cinema, primarily through the subgenre known as Nazisploitation, but reached its cinematic heights with a handful of films that came in the wake of The Damned: namely Bernardo Bertolucci's Il conformista (1970) aka The Conformist, Liliana Cavani's Il portiere di notti (1974) aka The Night Porter, Lina Wertmüller's Pasqualino Settebellezze (1975) aka Seven Beauties, and, most of all, Pasolini's Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975) aka Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.
Though these themes of war trauma and sexual perversion began to appear in earnest in the '60s with films like Vittorio De Sica's I sequestrati di Altona (1962) aka The Condemned of Altona, Roger Vadim's French production Le vice et la virtu (1963) aka Vice and Virtue (1963) — itself an early precursor to Salò — and Visconti's Vaghe stelle dell'orsa… (1965) aka Sandra, they reached an erotic, exploitation-fueled fever pitch in The Damned. Visconti returned to Sandra's themes of corrupt industrialists and perverse sons, but on a far grander scale. Set during the Nazi rise to power in the early '30s, The Damned follows the internal drama of the family of Baron Joachim Von Essenbecks (Albrecht Schoenhals), the head of a steel dynasty who struggles to bring his company into the rapidly changing world.
His squabbling heirs complicate matters; his self-indulgent daughter-in-law Sophie (Ingrid Thulin) allows her son Martin (Helmut Berger), the company's primary heir, to explore his passions — which include transvestitism and pedophilia — unchecked, while her fiancé Friedrich (Dirk Bogarde) is a factory manager for the family angling for more power. A manipulative SS officer, Aschenbach (Helmut Griem) convinces Friedrich to murder the Baron and frame the company's liberal vice president, Herbert (Umberto Orsini), who is forced to go into hiding while his wife and children are sent to Dachau.
Sophie, meanwhile, hopes to get the upper hand on Aschenbach by fingering her own brother, Konstantin (Rene Kolldehoff), a homosexual SA officer who is subsequently murdered on the Night of the Long Knives. The sudden imbalance of family power allows Martin to become truly monstrous: he rapes his pre-pubescent cousin, as well as a young Jewish girl who lives in his apartment complex, and eventually attacks his own mother. He forces Sophie and Friedrich to marry and then kill themselves, so that Martin is left as the primary heir to the family fortune along with his cousin, Günther (Renaud Verley). The two are united in thoughts of power, violence, and revenge, and are utterly transformed into puppets of the SS.
The Damned was a transformative moment in WWII-themed cinema and subsequent films borrowed unmercilessly from its blend of baroque style, perverse sexual elements, factual historical details, Shakespearean tragedy, and epic melodrama. Its lengthy running time — of more than 150 minutes — parallels the increasingly bloody family drama with moments of violent triumph in the early years of National Socialism: the Reichstag fire in February of 1933 and the Night of the Long Knives in June of 1934 elegantly bookends the von Essenbach squabbles for power. Visconti said, "What has always interested me is the analysis of a sick society" (Peter Bondanella's A History of Italian Cinema, 203). He certainly had no shortage of real-life examples from this time period. For the von Essenbachs, he was loosely inspired by the Krupp family, an Essen-based steel and ammunition dynasty whose patriarch, Gustav, and heir, Alfried, were initially skeptical of Hitler but became avowed, almost obsessive Nazis. When Alfried took charge in 1941, the company became Germany's primary arms supplier and began taking control of similar corporations in occupied territory. Alfried consolidated power, ousting any rivals and fellow heirs, and began to use slave labor from concentration camps. Despite being found guilty of war crimes, the company survived and Alfried managed to hold on to most of his assets.
The von Essenbachs are an obvious mirror for the Krupp family, but Visconti used them as a cross-section of the kind of German society that flourished under Nazi rule: upper class opportunists (Sophie), well-positioned perverts (Martin and Konstantin), angry young men in need of direction (Günther), and ambitious mid-level managers (Friedrich). As a result, one of Visconti's pet themes — the fall of the aristocracy — is brilliantly melded with the Nazi's rise to power, nationalistic fervor, and reactionary fascism. Herbert, the company vice president and politically liberal fall guy, says Nazism is a monster of their own creation, born in their factories and flourishing with their money. Visconti proves that it is also spread by men like Friedrich, who serves as a Macbeth-like figure driven to monstrous acts by his ambition, but who remains one of the few characters capable of self-reflection and moral insight.
All this is orchestrated by Helmut Griem's Aschenbach, undoubtedly inspiration for the contemporary cinematic Nazi. He's a charming, sociopathic, blond Satan who carefully manipulates individual family members to his own ends, turning them against each other until only the young heirs Martin and Günther remain. And perhaps curiously, it is Helmut Berger's fastidious yet devious Martin who serves as the film's unforgettable protagonist. A figure of debauched beauty and nearly unchecked perversion, Martin acts as a transformative, corrupting agent throughout the film.
He turns the Baron's high class birthday dinner into a cabaret drag show, where he dresses as Marlene Dietrich and sings "Kinder, heut' abend, da such' ich mir was aus" (known in English as "A Man, Just a Regular Man") from Der blaue Engel (1930). The other characters' plotting and misdeeds are contrasted by his multiple acts of pedophilia — his own uncle blackmails him over this — and his coup de grace once again returns to the theme of incest. He finally overthrows his controlling mother, the Lady Macbeth-like Sophie, and rapes her in an act that seems at least partially consensual. She is reduced to a near-comatose state after this, and Martin forces her to go through with a wedding to the almost equally subdued Friedrich. Their nuptials are consummated with an act of double suicide, leaving a coiffed Martin in a freshly-pressed SS uniform to his fate as head of the family.
While Martin's acts nearly landed the film with an X-rating, his scenes are far from the only moments of perversion. Visconti devotes a lengthy, extended sequence to a recreation of the Night of the Long Knives, when the SS purged the ranks of the Sturmabteilung (SA), murdering and arresting most of their number, including their leader and one of Hitler's closest associates, Ernst Röhm. Over a thousand people were arrested and though the final death total is unknown, it is believed to be in the hundreds.
The SA were known for their fearsome street violence, rowdiness, and drunkenness, as well as for their alleged homosexuality. While Röhm and a few of the SA leaders were more or less openly gay, this fact was manipulated by Hitler and the SS for purely political reasons; they wanted the German public to believe they were taking steps to destroy a corrupt, unruly branch of the Nazi party. Visconti also played up this aspect of the SA's reputation and presents them as rabble rousers who carouse in an idyllic lake setting — the spa town of Bad Wiessee where the purge actually occurred — with the night increasingly descending into drunkenness and a mass orgy before the morning's operatic bloodshed.
As WWII became an increasingly prominent theme in mainstream cinema in the '70s, other art house directors began to borrow from Visconti's extravagant use of sex and violence. Then up-and-coming director (and Pasolini protege) Bernardo Bertolucci explored homosexuality and fascism from a new angle with what is arguably his masterpiece, 1970's aka The Conformist. Based on a novel by Italian journalist Alberto Moravia, The Conformist jumps forwards and backwards in time as it follows the murky career of Marcello Clerici (the divine Jean-Louis Trintignant), an employee of the Fascist secret police in Italy, who is set with the task of assassinating his former professor, Luca Quadri (Enzo Tarascio), in Paris.
Though the film is incredibly disjointed, it becomes clear that Marcello took a position with the government and married his wife Giulia (Stefania Sandrelli) in order to fit in, to conform. In Millicent Marcus' Italian Film in the Light of Neorealism, she wrote, "Marcello seeks to obliterate his sense of deviancy by conforming to the social mores and political ideology of 1930s Italy" (287). Everything in his private life seems in disarray. As a boy, he was teased at school and molested by a chauffeur (European cult treasure Pierre Clémenti), who he believes he murdered after the incident. He resents his family's wealth and privilege, though his father (Giuseppe Addobbati) is confined to an insane asylum after years working as a torturer for the previous government. His mother (Italian singer Milly, sister of Toto) is in a morphine-soaked prison of her own making at an isolated estate and spends her few waking hours in sexual bliss with her Japanese chauffeur. Marcello's only friend is the blind Italo (José Quaglio), whom he inevitably and violently betrays.
The Conformist (1970)
Seemingly nothing is sacred to Marcello and he repeatedly sacrifices even his own sexual desires. He uses his honeymoon with Giulia as a convenient ruse to travel to Paris to murder the professor. And though he seems to fall in love with his ideological opposite — the professor's young wife, Anna (Dominique Sanda) — he sits passively by while she is murdered. Anna is the film's most complex character and is the key to its revolving door of mutable identity and fluid reality. Dominique Sanda actually appears in the film three times: not only as Anna, but as a secretary in an Italian fascist office and as a prostitute in a French brothel, seemingly haunting Marcello throughout the film's various settings.
At first she appears to reciprocate Marcello's affections, but is possibly just playing an elaborate game with him. She allows him to see her partially naked and flirts with him, but aggressively bites his lip when he kisses her and sets out to seduce his wife. This culminates in the film's most erotic scene, a slow tango between Anna and Giulia, and also in its most claustrophobic moment. Anna leads a room full of drunken revelers to dance inexorably towards Marcello in an undulating, oppressive spiral that traps him at the center of the room, making it clear that Marcello does not actually want to fit in, but merely wants to maintain the appearance of doing so.
The film's sexual politics make much of this ambiguity — whether or not Anna and Marcello are homosexual, bisexual, or merely opportunists — and even Marcello himself seems uncertain. Despite being an avowed atheist, he submits to Giulia's demands that he confess his sins to a Catholic priest before marriage, boasting of acts that include homosexuality, murder, and premarital heterosexual intercourse. Marcus explains, "Marcello is marked from the outset by a love of violence and by a feminine sultriness which leads him to be seduced and to react with homicidal vengeance time and time again" (287). He admittedly selects Giulia because she is mundane and boring, but she is hardly less damaged than Marcello himself. In a parallel with his own childhood sexual abuse at the hands of the chauffeur, Giulia admits that she began a sexual relationship with her 60-year-old uncle when she was only a teenager, the very man to give her away at their wedding.
But Bertolucci makes it clear that Marcello's most perverse act is not his nebulous sexuality or even the murders he has committed, but his desire to conform above all else. He is neurotic, self-loathing, and admits that what he wants most is to appear normal. He discusses what he wants with his friend Italo, stating, "I don't know. The impression of normalcy. Stability, security. In the morning when I'm dressing in the mirror I see myself. And compared to everyone else, I feel I'm different." He is a strange amalgamation of repulsion and attraction. Marcello is never completely presented as a victim, but as a sort of cowardly predator, waiting for opportune moments to reveal his true nature: one devoid of personality, scruples, or even real desire.
The film's tragedy, which culminates in Anna's death, is at once muted and enhanced by Marcello's skewed views of identity and reality. In the middle of the French woods, she escapes the car where her husband is being murdered and perhaps could have fled to safety with Marcello — who is located in the rear car — but when she sees his face, she begins to scream uncontrollably until the other fascist agents gun her down. This is the film's only truly emotional sequence, brutal in its intensity, and it serves as a sort of ultimate climax that counters the repeated acts of denial throughout.
It is tempting to view The Conformist as a film about the evils of sexual repression, but this interpretation is too simple. Marcus says, "Far from insisting that underneath every Fascist lurks a repressed homosexual, Bertolucci presents Marcello's idiosyncratic sexuality as one example of the general need to deny personal differences, which would lead an insecure, threatened individual to identify with an all-powerful state" (307). Both political and sexual, The Conformist is a deeply psychological reading of fascism and makes a number of important parallels to the contemporary understanding of fascism as a death cult. Marcello's attempts to conform can be understood through Freud's writings on the death drive. In On Metapsychology, he wrote, "the hypothesis of a death instinct, the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state" (380). His actions — to join the secret police as a potential, if failed assassin — are not the attempts of a man to embrace "normal" middle class life, but the complete erasure of self. Marcello attempts to shed the upper middle class excess symbolized by his parents, but what he views as "normal" it is easy to see as violent, destructive, sadistic, and perverse, hinting at the true core of his identity.
His level of detachment is almost existential and it is easy to draw parallels to Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment and Camus' Meursault of The Stranger. But unlike these other fictional murderers, Marcello is symbolically impotent, unable to commit real acts of murder on his own. One of Bertolucci's biggest changes from Moravia's novel is that he moves Marcello to the scene of the crime. Where in the book, other agents carry out the professor's murder while Marcello is safely miles away, Bertolucci places him in the car behind the assassination, calmly witnessing the deaths of the professor and his wife. This theme of the car or the vehicle is a powerful one throughout the film and there is almost constantly the sense that Marcello is being passively driven through the events of his life, beginning with the chauffeur who brings about his initiation into sex — and violence.
In an interview with The Paris Review, Moravia said of Marcello, "He was a pitiable character—pitiable because a victim of circumstance, led astray by the times, a traviato." Traviatio, meaning "led astray" or "corrupted," takes on a further layer in the film, as Bertolucci makes Marcello a wholly unreliable narrator. Where the novel moves from Marcello's childhood trauma linearly through the anti-fascist uprising at the end of the war, Bertolucci's moves backwards and forwards in time at will, making multiple viewings almost a guaranteed prerequisite to comprehending the director's vision as a whole.
Bertolucci also subverts conventional reality at every turn — not just with the film's dizzying sense of time, but with its overwhelming visual style and unexpected camera angles. While there is perhaps more than a touch of upper-class decadence that also fuels the other war-themed films from the period, The Conformist attempts to capture the surreal or hallucinatory qualities of life in a fascist regime. This Italian-French-West German affair was shot by the great cinematographer Vittorio Storraro and, unlike similar efforts from the decade, makes brilliant use of the fascist stylistic palette. In particular, Bertolucci and Storrarro focus on the art deco favored in the '30s, wide open spaces — such as Roman ruins that double as an outdoor asylum — cluttered sittings rooms, and starkly white design and architecture. Though Bertolucci explored somewhat similar themes in the same year's Strategia del ragno (1970) aka The Spider's Stratagem, The Conformist is undoubtedly one of his finest achievements and it remains one of the greatest films of the '70s.

TRAGIC TWIST
How Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was sent to live with killer dad & stepmum after his own mother was caged for stabbing lover
Holly Christodoulou
Updated: 13:48, 3 Dec 2021
TRAGIC Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was only sent to live with his killer dad and stepmum after his own mother was jailed for knifing her lover to death.
Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow stabbed Gary Cunningham, 29, 12 times in a drink and drug-fuelled rage at their home in February 2019.
Arthur's mum Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow stabbed her boyfriend to deathCredit: BPM
He was sent to live with his dad Thomas Hughes full-time
She was seen by police calmly stepping over his blood-stained body while claiming she had no memory of the attack.
Labinjo-Halcrow was jailed for 18 years after being convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Her original conviction was quashed but she was found guilty for a second time in July this year and handed an 11-year sentence.
After she was caged, Arthur was placed in the care of his dad Thomas Hughes.
He was today found guilty of killing the youngster, while his partner Emma Tustin was convicted of murder.
Arthur was "cherished by all" to start with while living with his dad and family in an annexe at his paternal grandparents' home.
But the "stable" life he briefly enjoyed became rooted in evil once more when Hughes began a relationship with Emma Tustin.
The violence he had witnessed while living with his mum was now aimed at him as the couple waged a campaign of abuse and torture that ended in his brutal death.
Hughes and Labinjo-Halcrow had shared custody of Arthur while in a relationship with Gary.
On February 23, 2019, police rushed to the home to find Gary propped up against a fire exit and Labinjo-Halcrow holding a blood-stained kitchen knife.
A post mortem found he had been stabbed multiple times with one 11cm-deep wound severing an artery.
It later emerged the pair had a volatile relationship after meeting on a drink-driving awareness course.
His family witnessed injuries caused by Labinjo-Hughes attacking him and urged him to speak to police.
She claimed during her trial she had been the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her victim.
It was these statements that overturned her first conviction after top judges ruled she may have been acting in self defence.
But she was convicted again this year after a retrial and jailed for 11 years.
The mum paid tribute to Arthur today in a statement from her prison cell after Hughes and Tustin were convicted of killing the boy.
She said: "Arthur was the light of my life. He wasn't just my only child - he was my best friend.
"Never did I imagine he would be taken from this world so early in his life.
"If Arthur could ask for one last thing, it would be that he was remembered for his superpower. That will always be what I remember and Arthur's superpower was his smile."
Her mother Madeleine Halcrow added: "I think they are cold, calculating, systematic torturers of a defenceless little boy.
"They're wicked, evil. There's no word for them, especially your own child."

A: You are getting No properties to display. beacuse of this:

Instead you have to iterate from second index of elements:
//tbody/tr[2]/td[2]
//tbody/tr[2]/td[3]
//tbody/tr[2]/td[4]
...
//tbody/tr[3]/td[2]
//tbody/tr[3]/td[3]
//tbody/tr[3]/td[4]
...

So you have to specify the start index from your iteration like this:
rows = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//tbody/tr")
for row in rows[1:]:
    print(row.text) # prints the whole row
    for col in row.find_elements_by_xpath('td')[1:]:
        print(col.text.strip())

Question: Do any of the following keep you up at night?
We blew through our AdWords budget in a day!
I'll pause there before early onset MFD (Marketing Fail Disorder) sets in. But if these resonate with you, your marketing is failing, and you're wasting money that could be working for you instead of against you.
Read on for 10 marketing problems, each with a solution about how to fix them by leveraging the principles of conversion rate optimization, testing, and of course, landing pages.
I'm not talking about the kind you'd see on an African safari. Rather, the suits in your company, who could be stakeholders, your boss, or senior management. The term HiPPO refers to the Highest Paid Person's Opinion, where decisions are based on conjecture or "experience" and are handed down to you to implement without any evidence of their true value.
If you win the test, you'll be afforded more leeway in the future while educating the HiPPO's about the value of scientific experimentation & testing vs. random ideas. You'll also start making more money for the company, which any smart HiPPO would be a fool to argue with.
Just remember though, if you dare to engage a HiPPO without testing, you run the risk of becoming yet another PWTMSMEBNE in the room (Person With The Most Subject Matter Expertise But No Evidence, obviously).
Stop listening to HiPPO's, stop the assumptions, and start testing.
Sounds like a strange statement to make. Actually, here the term "leak" refers to a "link" that moves your visitors away from a page and your intended conversion goal.
But really, who's fault is it? My guess is that you're sending your marketing traffic right to your homepage. Thought so. This is a classic rookie mistake that even seasoned marketing vets still make. Consider the fact that your homepage probably has between 30-60 links, and who knows how many products.
Are you really surprised that your visitors are wandering around like lost sheep? We all know that sheep need a herder. Someone to guide them to their final destination. That's your job.
One visitor, one goal, no wandering around. That means no leaks.
So how do you plug the holes and stop the leaks? Congrats if you replied "with a landing page" in your head.
AdWords (or any other pay-per-click platform) is probably the easiest way to blow your paycheck if you don't know what you're doing.
There are so many moving parts to a paid ad campaign that you may as well be playing Roulette in Vegas. The ad copy, CTA, destination page, keywords you are bidding on, competing companies bidding on the same keywords etc. – means it's easy to get it wrong when starting out.
Message match for Quality Score: One of the biggest factors in how much your ads cost is the quality score attributed to each ad. This is dependent on several things, one of which being the destination page, and how closely the content matches that of your ads. The easiest way to get a low quality score for a variety of ads is to send them all to your homepage. Not only can there be multiple messages on your homepage, but if you're targeting different keywords, there's no way they will all correlate to the content of your homepage. By using a landing page for each ad group, you can match the message of your ad more easily and as a result get a higher Quality Score.
Message match for higher conversions: There's also a human factor to consider when it comes to message match. If you read an ad that said "We sell blue apples" and arrived at a page with a headline that said "Welcome to the red apple store", you'd think you were in the wrong place and leave. A landing page designed specifically for your ad will prevent the high bounce rate associated with this message mismatch.
Again landing pages are the secret weapon that will help you keep both the ad bots and humans happy, and your ad costs and cost-per-acquisition (CPA) lower.
Are you telling a big long story in your emails? Paragraph after paragraph about how awesome you are? If people aren't clicking on your email CTAs it's probably because they sit at the end of an experience that's perceived as too much work. People then give up reading and delete your email instead.
There's a better way to do email marketing, by shortening your emails into succinct and concise messages with a strong call to action.
Your email should be a teaser and nothing more. It's singular goal is to intrigue your recipients enough to get them to click through to your landing page, which is where you place the full details of your marketing campaign. Your landing page is a much more effective place to do the selling after you've captured people's attention. The reason for this is that you've got as much space as you need to tell your story.
If you need to showcase your product/service using video, a landing page is the perfect place to do this – again removing the need for a lot of written content in your email.
Shorten your next email and see how your click-through rate improves.
5. I Don't Know What to Test, So My Tests Don't Work. Now I Don't Test.
There are some fundamental anatomical elements that are common to most pages, and these are most often what you'll be testing.
Once you have a hypothesis you are in a better position to make changes to a test page to compete against your original page in a conversion experiment.
Now that you're ready to run a test, you need to follow a few basic rules to ensure that your experiment is a clean and uncontaminated one.
Each page in your test – most commonly the original page and one "challenger" used in the A/B test, should receive at least 100 unique visitors and often as much as 500 or more depending on how drastic the changes increase (or decrease) conversions.
Your test should run for at least a week to account for variances in time of day and different daily behaviors (weekends are often very different to weekdays).
The statistical significance of the experiment should be over 95%. This is a number that is calculated by the testing software you are using to determine when the results you are seeing are for reasons other than chance alone.
That was a brief intro to A/B testing, but is enough of a framework to stop you complaining that you don't know what or how to test.
The best way to find out why your landing pages aren't working is to ask. Ask your visitors and customers. Ask whoever is viewing your landing page and ignoring your wishes. The best way to do this is to add a live chat or survey widget to your page.
The information you get from your visitors at the point of conversion can be invaluable in figuring out why they didn't convert and what to test to improve your landing pages – think of it as if they're shopping at the Apple store and aren't quite sure of the benefits of an iMac over a PC. Having someone right there to answer your questions (like live chat) can be the tipping point that encourages a sale.
Once you get feedback from talking to your visitors or asking them survey questions, you are in a much stronger position to create a hypothesis for a successful page. Which comes full circle back to my last point about what to test.
If you want to read more about how to gather and put user feedback into action, read part 4 (or the whole thing) from this case study.
Your blog is a great source of inbound marketing, and should be considered a powerful tool in establishing your subject matter expertise and thought leadership. This is a critical platform on which to build the trust required to make people believe in you. If they respect your stance on a subject they will also believe that that you know what you're talking about when it comes to building your product/service.
Asking your blog readers to register for your blog update emails enables you to leverage the email list by sending more excellent content to them in the future – such as ebooks, whitepapers and case studies. These documents can have subtle calls-to-action in them to turn a reader into a customer – providing an extra acquisition path.
You can also add a CTA to your blog (in the sidebar or at the end of each post) which will provide a small trickle of new customers. A good strategy for CTA design is to make them relevant to the category of the blog the reader is in. An example being, if they are in an A/B testing category, you would design your banner with a CTA like "Learn more about A/B testing". This should lead to a landing page with content related to the subject and how your product provides the solution.
So yes, you should keep your blog, and set it up so that it is monetized using these three approaches. And don't forget – the bigger and better your blog becomes, the wider the reach it will have and the simpler the next point will be.
This is a prime time to begin co-marketing with companies that have customers with similar needs as your own. By getting your name in front of a new set of eyes, you can rapidly grow the size your target market. To run a successful co-marketing strategy you need to start by laying the foundation for a smart relationship, and then establish contact with a clear set of possibilities laid out for each partner to do in order to get your/their name in front of each others customers.
Sending an email to each others customer list to recommend the other company's product, and explaining how they work together to provide extra benefit and value.
Writing guest posts for each other's blog that shares your subject matter expertise with their readership, while staying on topic with the content of each blog.
Adding a logo and possibly partner description to each other's website.
Co-promotion in contests and with special offers.
Once you have an established authority in your market, you can set up a landing page for people interested in creating a partnership. A good strategy is then to have an email autoresponder set up, so that when the prospective partner completes your partnership request form, they will receive the email outlining that a reciprocal use of the prior examples would be how you'd like to move forward (if they are deemed to be a suitable partner).
In other words, people are visiting your website, but not converting into customers. This could be a messaging problem which you can use an A/B testing tool to optimize, or it could be that your site is designed in such a way that visitors are getting lost or not finding the important information on your pages and as a result, bouncing from the site.
To see what they are doing on your pages, you can use heat map software like CrazyEgg to discover the most often clicked areas of your core pages, and adjust the layout to place the most important elements in the areas with the highest focus.
In the example below, you can see that visitor is jumping all around the page, and ignoring the call-to-action. It's fairly easy to theorize that the reason for this is that the CTA doesn't stand out from other page elements (especially contrast and color wise).
A lot of people say that button color is irrelevant, but this a complete falsehood when color contrast is the problem. Yes red might not perform better than green under ideal circumstances, but if the page is dominantly green, then a red button will stand out a lot more than a green one.
If you see something like this, you can improve the placement, contrast, size and whitespace use of your CTAs. If you see people spending a lot of time looking at the navigation or other "leaks" then you know they are confused and are seeking information elsewhere than the current page. Again, if you use a focused and targeted landing page, you can remove the potential for a lot of eye wandering and homepage A.D.D.
You've spent the time to write an authoritative ebook or whitepaper, you've designed a great landing page to give it away in exchange for personal and business data. You've sent your entire email list to the page and shared it on your social networks. And yet, you are getting virtually no new leads from the page as nobody is completing your form to get the ebook.
It's actually fairly easy to fix this problem. Here are three approaches to building a more effective ebook landing page.
Amazon pretty much invented this concept with their "Take a look inside" feature that lets you read part of the book and check out the contents. Most people are psychologically hard-wired with a sceptical "Try before you buy" mentality (think about how many people steal a grape before buying them! Yes I'm talking about you… and me). If your content is worth providing personal info for, then you should make it fair by showing off how good it is in advance.
A short PDF document that people can download and read to gauge the quality of your work.
An embedded SlideShare presentation that walks through a series of slides constructed using ebook content.
Friction is the perceived barrier to achieving a given task – in this case filling out your form. The trick here is to balance the level of friction with the "size of the prize" so that you're offering a fair exchange. Essentially the better your ebook is, the more you ask in return. Just make sure it's relevant data you're collecting. Most people won't part with their phone number to download a PDF, nor should they.
If you read the case study in part 6, you'll be familiar with the viral feedback loop that you can use to fuel a continuous stream of traffic to your ebook download landing page. Essentially, you let people get your ebook in exchange for a tweet instead of an email. The tweet contains a link back to your ebook landing page, perpetuating the lifespan of your campaign. For best results, offer both options (PayWithATweet and exchange for an email).
So there you have it. 10 ways to fix your busted marketing campaigns. How many of these problems are you facing? I hope by next time you come back you'll have plugged some of these holes and seen some conversion improvements in your marketing.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions about how to fix these problems, please share in the comments. I'll see you there.

Indigenous peoples in the Mamberamo region of West Papua are calling for the 7.7 million hectare Mamberamo mega-project to be stopped.
The Mamberamo project, announced in the 1990s by former President Habibie when he was minister for research and technology, includes the construction of hydro-dams which will permanently affect the fragile ecosystem of the mangrove swamps downstream.
Communities and companies
Violations of community rights are still continuing as companies and regional governments try to maximise income from the country's mineral resources. At the same time, mining companies are complaining about the "legal vacuum" hampering their operations in Indonesia.
Large-scale mining in Indonesia is in 'legal limbo', as the protesting companies see it, because their contracts, signed during the Suharto era, are being nibbled away by the demands of local governments newly empowered by regional autonomy.
In Brief... DTE 49 - May 2001

The emblematic French opera, one of its greatest successes and, at the same time, in a way, its memory. Gounod recalled having the book by Goethe by his side throughout his youth, even in the gardens of the Villa Medici where he was a "pensionnaire." Twenty years later, Carvalho finally agreed to commission Gounod and he had good reason to: Faust brought prosperous times to the Théâtre-Lyrique and then to the Opéra. From there, the work became famous throughout the world and the Metropolitan in New York chose it for its inaugural opening evening on 22 October 1883, where the greatest singers made their mark. Jean de Reszké and Muratore as Faust, Faure – the creator –, Maurel, Delmas and Marcoux as Méphisto and, for Marguerite, Christine Nilsson, Patti, Melba, Farrar, Garden… Few works have been so loved and respected as this Faust… And indeed, the work, more faithful than we might imagine to Goethe, inspired in Gounod a youthful, turbulent lyricism, pleasures and unforgettable trepidation.
Piotr Beczala and Krassimira Stoyanova embody the legendary doomed lovers.

A man and his grandson were shot to death Sunday morning in Piedmont.
Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown said Travis Frost, 73, and Joshua Moody, 23, were pronounced dead at a residence on Rabbittown Road at 5:15 a.m. in the eastern part of the county.
They were both shot to death.
The Anniston Star is reporting that, according to Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade, Frost's wife called authorities around 4 a.m. to report a break-in. She was apparently hiding in a bedroom when someone shot the two men. She was unharmed.
A vehicle reportedly stolen from the home was found later that morning in Piedmont.

Q: pause player when going to background and resume when app returns to foreground ios When playing a video in an iOs app I need it to pause when the app is sent to background and resume when the app returns from background.

Liverpool vs Manchester City: Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield with both teams looking to move three points clear of the other at the top of the Premier League.
The Reds suffered their second defeat of the season in midweek as they lost 1-0 away at Napoli in the Champions League. That result leaves Jurgen Klopp's side without a win in three games, having lost and drawn to Chelsea last week. Had it not been for Daniel Sturridge's late equaliser at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool would be facing the champions on the back of three straight defeats.
A lot has been made of Mohamad Salah's form in recent weeks. The Egyptian forward, who netted 36 goals last season, has scored just three times in ten games this time around. Salah's movement has not been as sharp, with many suggesting he is still haunted by the injury that forced him off in the Champions League final last May. Whatever the issue, Liverpool need Salah back at his best if they are to defeat Manchester City again. He was instrumental in their three victories over Pep Guardiola's men last season, alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
City picked up their first win in the Champions League after a 2-1 win over Hoffenheim in Germany. David Silva completed their comeback with three minutes remaining after they'd fallen behind after a minute of the game. City currently lead the way in the league, although only goal difference separates them and the Reds. Kevin de Bruyne is back in training, although Guardiola refused to reveal whether the Belgian would play any part in the match this weekend. They will be without Fabian Delph, whilst there are also doubts over the fitness of Benjamin Mendy. The Citizens are unbeaten on the road this season, dropping just two points at Molineux this term. They've also scored 12 goals in their last four games, conceding once.
Martin Atkinson is the referee for Sunday afternoon's clash. The Englishman has officiated seven top-flight matches this season, accumulating an average booking points total of 35.7. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ for this fixture.
This game has a lot to live up to, after the classics we witnessed last season. Given the hectic schedules over the last few weeks, I can see this becoming a tense, tactical battle. As a result, I'm going for a draw in this game, which would probably suit both managers.
Liverpool vs Manchester City will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event at 16:30 GMT.
Correct score: 1-1 Draw – (link no longer available).
Both Players To Score – Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane – 8/1.
Full Time Result and Both to Player to Score – Draw and Both To Score Yes – 3/1.
To score in 90 minutes – Raheem Sterling – 9/4.

Home Culture Book Review: The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
Eunice Kim, staff writer
If readers are looking for a mix of Greek/Roman mythology and the 21st century, "The Heros of Olympus" series, by Rick Riordan who is also author of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series as well as "Kane Chronicles" trilogy, is what the readers need. Riordan's books are full of interesting characters and gripping plot. Greek/Roman mythology itself might sound boring, with its old language and plots that often makes readers confused; however, Riordan's books might change your perspective of Greek/Roman mythology forever.
"The Mark of Athena" is about a group of teenagers with Olympic blood venturing to Rome on a quest to save humanity from the evil Greek earth mother, Gaea. Previous books of "The Heros of Olympus" focused on the new heroes discovering that Gaea is trying to overthrow the Olympians with her children, the giants. Each book focuses on a certain hero or heroes' quest to stop Gaea from doing her evil deeds.
"The Mark of Athena" looks at Annabeth Chase, the daughter of the goddess Athena, who embarks on a quest t o bring back her mother's sacred statue, Athena Parthenos, that has been lost for over centuries. The work Chase has to do is no easy task, since all she can depend on are her wits and art craftsmanship. While others search through Rome to find and destroy evil giants, Otis and Ephialtes (or the "Big F"), Chase goes on a solo quest to overcome her greatest fear: spiders. Chase also has to defeat a deformed spider woman who hates children of Athena because of their mother named Arachne to retrieve the statue. However, Chase manages to defeat Arachne with a weapon that was totally unexpected.
Riordan uses Greek/Roman mythology, an important aspect of Western civilization, in an awesome romantic adventure that makes readers die to know what's going to happen to their heroes next. Riordan tells characters' experiences as both human and god with his amazing humor and wit. In "Mark of Athena," Riordan also talks about the struggle Chase goes through in "The Mark of Athena." The protagonists often show envy toward regular humans for their unawareness of the 'truth,' which is the world filled with Greek/Roman monsters and gods. The protagonists struggle to fit in between the world of mortals and the world of gods. Much like what teenagers go through now, the demigods struggle to find their identity between the world of childhood and world of adulthood.
The vocabulary in "The Mark of Athena" is bearable, as the reader can understand most of the plot without the use of the dictionary. It is best to read the book and search through the appendix for Greek/Roman terms that may be unfamiliar. Teenagers who struggle with their self-identity, want to explore modern interpretations of more about Greek/Roman mythology, or want plain fun should take a look at "The Mark of Athena."

I think this was a concept for a lead miniature – the sort of thing guys that can't get girlfriends collect, paint, and then use to have tabletop adventures of the imagination. But really, if you had a figurehead like this – even a miniature one – do you really NEED a girlfriend?
Actually, yes, you still need a girlfriend. Because if you try to date a ship's figurehead you'll not only have trouble getting into fine restaurants, but also, this gal looks pretty mean. You deserve better.

Ah yes… The Dark Maiden. The Figurehead of Capt. Razig's ship. Such a lovely peice she is.
Now that is one COOL figurehead. Love it!
Reaper Miniatures are some of the finest gaming miniatures ever produced. If I still collected them (I've given away thousands to my gaming pal, Justin) I would sign away much of my paycheck to those fine folks.

To give the kitchen an updated appearance, replace the flooring, countertops, sink and faucet. A fresh coat of paint in a trendy shade, such as Living Coral, Pantone's Color of the Year, can add a vibrant pop of color to energize any kitchen. Not looking to go that bold? Consider an accent wall, or stick to a classic palette of gray and white in terms of cabinets and countertops. White on white is also a popular new style for kitchens and bathrooms.
Other features home buyers are paying close attention to are laundry rooms and such energy-saving elements as Energy Star appliances and windows, according to the survey "What Home Buyers Want in 2019" by the National Association of Home Builders.
No matter what updates you end up making, it's always a good idea to notify your insurance agent. "Certain upgrades may change the value of a house, so homeowners need to make sure they're properly covered," says Bob Buckel, vice president of product management, Erie Insurance. "There are a few things to look for. Ask your agent about guaranteed replacement cost policies that can cover the cost to rebuild a home in today's dollars following a covered loss."
Some upgrades also may make you eligible for discounts, Buckel adds, especially if they make the home more secure. "For example, Erie Insurance offers certain safety discounts such as for installing smoke alarms or an automatic sprinkler system."

Golden Bear Opens 12-Hole Signature Design
Dan Bier Follow
Whenever Jack Nicklaus speaks, people listen. Granted, winning 18 majors and being arguably the greatest player of all time will do that.
On Thursday, he was front and center speaking at the grand opening of his brand new concept; a public, 12 hole par-3 signature design "Golf Park" located at Red Ledges in Heber City, Utah.
The hybrid par-36 course ranges anywhere from 1,310 to 1,717 yards depending on the tees and boasts greens that contain 2 holes which players can aim at; one with a standard 4.25″ diameter and a larger 8-inch option.
The underlying theme with this design is growing the game. "We've ended up with something that is very creative, and something I've never seen anywhere else," Nicklaus said according to the Salt Lake Tribune report.
"You are going to see a lot of hole-in-ones," he explained. "And that's a good thing."
It will accompany the Golden Bear's private 18-hole championship layout he opened there in 2009. Members will have full access for obvious reasons.
In a time where golf seems to be at a crossroads in the public-eye, this could be monumental breakthrough. By attempting to make the game less timing consuming and more fun, this new concept could prove to be a benchmark of a movement the game needs.
It also usually helps when Jack's name is on it.

Kosztka János Tivadar (Lugos, 1740 körül – 1822.) vízépítő mérnök, térképész.

Életpályája
Az osztrák hadmérnöki akadémia elvégzése után, 1763-ban Maximilian Fremaut geodéta-hadmérnök mellé került gyakornokként. 1763-tól egyik temesi térképén a Béga-csatorna terve látható. 1785 körül a Maros felvételén dolgozott. 1788-ban átvette a nagyváradi igazgatóság vezetését.

A Temesköz vízviszonyainak rendezésével kimagasló érdemeket szerzett. Később kamarai igazgató-mérnök is volt. Kezdetben a Temes és Bega, majd a Maros szabályozásával foglalkozott. Kéziratos térképei és jegyzetei az Országos Levéltárban, valamint a temesvári agrármeliorizációs hivatal régi iratanyagában találhatók.

Since July, I've been working with Isabelle Schad on her new work, a solo called Fugen. Next Thursday is the première.
With Fugues, Berlin choreographer and dancer Isabelle Schad continues her work between musical concepts and their expression in movement. Coming from a music background, she attempts to look at her own (hi)story and the origins of (her) movement between discipline and pleasure, examining the body and its energies in its materiality, process, and time.
The fugue serves her as an analogy for the body in exercise, where the principles of chasing and fleeing, giving and receiving, emptiness and fullness, are becoming one.
Fugues is an autobiographical work in which the performer's body serves as an example for the construction of the individual within disciplines and systems one cannot escape from.
