The primary purpose of a road drainage system is to remove the water from the road and its surroundings. The road drainage system consists of two parts: dewatering and drainage. "Dewatering" means the removal of rainwater from the surface of the road. "Drainage" on the other hand covers all the different infrastructural elements to keep the road structure dry.
Within several months time frame, PLN, the state owned electricity company, will install poles, high voltage lines, transformers and meters.

MS Dhoni, the brand ambassador of Netmeds is ringing in his 37th birthday today. His diet and fitness regime is a matter of great interest, and Dhoni is considered to be one of the fittest sportpersons in the country.
According to him, nothing is healthier than a good mix of Indian food which ranges from a protein-rich diet or a carb-heavy one. For this reason, Dhoni finds himself always choosing comfort food that's homemade.
He is a great lover of Indian food and likes to eat dal chawal, butter chicken, roti, vegetables and makes it a point to have 1 litre of milk per day (be it milk or curd as part of his regular diet. His diet regimen for a day is extremely light and healthy.
Breakfast: A wholesome breakfast comprising of porridge accompanied with a glass of milk, fresh fruits and nuts.
Lunch/Dinner: For lunch and dinner, it is the usual roti or chawal with dal or chicken (for the extra proteins) added with a mixed green salad which helps meet the nutrient requirements of his body.
Snacks: A chicken sandwich with yoghurt is his favourite munch when hungry in the evening.
During matches and practice sessions, he is often seen sipping protein drinks and fresh juices. This helps in keeping himself hydrated and also boosts his energy and stamina levels. He avoids soda and soft drinks too.
Avoid foods with high-fat content.
Protein powders are an isolated nutrient source, it provides a lot of nutrition for relatively few calories. A sportsperson requires considerable amounts of proteins above the normal recommended daily allowance for maintenance, repair, and growth of muscle mass.
Stephen Fleming the coach quoted saying that M.S Dhoni is incredibly fit. As the wicketkeeper of the team, Dhoni requires to sits in the squatting position for hours. Squats are one of the most intense workout exercises in themselves and one needs to be in great shape to be able to crouch like that throughout the innings.

Pakistan Suspends Last Rail Link To India – Thar Express As Tensions Escalate Between India and Pakistan
Pakistan said that they will halt the last train service running to India – Thar Express, amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan after Modi Government revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
"We have decided to shut down the Thar Express as well," Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed told reporters, in reference to the weekly service running between the towns of Khokrapar in Pakistan and Monabao in India. "As long as I am railways minister, no train will operate between Pakistan and India," added Rasheed.
The move came a day after the government of Pakistan decided to shut the Samjhauta Express rail service between Lahore and New Delhi.
At a press conference on Thursday, Rashid announced the train service between Pakistan and India had been stopped immediately and the passengers, who were scheduled to depart from Lahore on Thursday, had been shifted to Wagah border for their onward journey.
It was only last year that India had extended the agreement to run the Thar Express between the two countries for three more years. The agreement to link the two countries by rail was signed in 2006 to facilitate people-to-people contact. The pact was set to expire in March 2018. It was extended to 31 January 2021.

Q: Interacting with R script via Python subprocess I was wondering how to open an R script and interact with it (for example, send strings, integers etc.). Although I have not used it before, subprocess seemed like a reasonable way to do this.
So far, I have
process = subprocess.Popen(['/path/to/Rscript --no-save path/to/script.R'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

This appears to be successful in opening script.R, however in my script I prompt the user to enter an integer and I cannot quite sort out how to do this.  I have tried:
process.communicate(input=1)[0]

But I appear to be barking up the wrong tree. The subprocess closes without appearing to receive this input.
EDIT: Rpy is probably not a good alternative at this point, because users of this script will not necessarily have access to that module and its dependencies.

A: Try PypeR ?
It is an great interface to use R in python through pipe.

A: EDIT2
What about that?
process = subprocess.Popen(['/path/to/Rscript', '--no-save', 'path/to/script.R'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)

EDIT1
You can only comunicate strings between processes over stdin and stdout.
Does process.communicate("1\n") help you out?

The Nissan Elgrand is a full-size luxury MPV that started production in 1997.
The Elgrand has been available in three model developments so far — the E50, the E51 and the latest Nissan Elgrand E52 (from 2010).
The main competitors to the Nissan Elgrand E52 are the Toyota Alphard, Toyota Vellfire, and the Honda Odyssey.
All Elgrand E52 variants were available in 2WD or AWD, and most with 2.5L or 3.5L engines and 7 or 8 seats.
The 2.5L engine outputs 127kW (170hp) while the 3.5L engine outputs 208kW (280hp), or 225kW (300hp) for the High Performance Spec model.
The 6 speed Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) optimises fuel efficiency.
Important — Only Nissan Elgrand E52's manufactured from June 2010 to May 2012 and fitted with the 'Around View Monitor' camera system are eligible for import to Australia under SEVS.
View Nissan Elgrand E52 examples inspected at auction for clients.
The Elgrand Around View Monitor assists drivers to park more easily by better understanding the vehicle's surroundings through a virtual 360-degree scene of the car in bird's-eye view from above the vehicle.
The system helps to visually confirm the vehicle's position relative to the lines around parking spaces and adjacent objects, allowing the driver to manoeuvre into parking spaces with more ease.
The Around View Monitor processes video from four cameras mounted to the front, rear and sides of the vehicle which take video diagonally above each of their positions. The perspective of the video is then changed into video imagery looking down on the car from above and the composite footage is displayed on the TV screen inside the vehicle.
Using the Around View system, the car will automatically detect an empty car park space (either for parallel parking or reverse parking) and will highlight the position on the Around View layout which the driver should aim for. When moving into the parking space a box will be formed showing the position the car will eventually end up in should the driver maintain their current steering angle, and so turning the steering wheel until the predicted position matches the parking space makes parking simple and predictable.
Being able to see the condition of the vehicle's surroundings from above makes it much easier to understand where the lines of a parking space are or the position of certain detectable obstructions around the car. This greatly helps less confident drivers as well as those with many years of driving experience.
The system can display the bird's-eye and front / rear views, making it possible to check the vehicle's 360-degree surroundings simultaneously with either the front and rear views. It is also possible to display just the rear view and front-side view together so the driver can simultaneously check the rear and front-side views of the vehicle which are the points of most concern when parallel parking.
This enhanced system features motion detection functionality which can sense moving objects and then warn the driver on the display. Nissan's Around View Monitor and Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection continue to improve and evolve as two of the technologies for next-generation mobility.
The vehicle monitors the area ahead and behind, and at low speeds will automatically apply the brakes if the driver fails to do so, avoiding an accident. This works both while travelling forwards and backwards.
This system improves fuel efficiently by 5% to 10% by offering feedback to the accelerator pedal and smoothing out a driver's responses. This feature can be turned off.
E52 Elgrands can feature an optional BOSE sound system with 5.1 channel surround sound (with subwoofer) and a total of 13 speakers throughout the car.
Also optional on the Nissan Elgrand E52 was an 11 inch flip-down monitor in the roof for rear passengers, at the time of release this was the largest factory monitor available worldwide.
Should a tyre develop a leak or slowly go flat the driver can be alerted, preventing possible damage, accident, or poor fuel economy.
Nissan's radar cruise control system fitted to the Elgrand operates like normal cruise control and is also able to monitor the car ahead and maintain a steady distance, so the driver does not have to constantly adjust the speed to maintain distance with the car in front. Several following distance options can be selected. When minimum safe distance is reached the cruise control will automatically turn itself off and the brakes will be applied to slow the vehicle. If traffic increases speed, the cruise control will resume and accelerate the vehicle back to the preset cruise speed.
The rear power seats fold forwards into the floor and can fold back up again at the push of a button, with the ability to move the split folding seats independently from one another.
7 seat versions for the second row of seats also feature luxurious foot rests, arm rests, and several levels of adjustability including a two pivot point seat back.
The smart key means that you do not have to insert a key into the ignition to start the car, it needs only be within vicinity of the car (ie. in your pocket). Likewise the front doors, rear power sliding doors and tailgate do not have to be physically unlocked by inserting the key or unlocked by pressing a button on the key. Instead you simply walk up to the car and it will detect you have the key on you, authorising access.
When driving at night, AFS uses driving speed and steering wheel direction to adjust the headlights left or right in the direction of travel to provide better illumination of the road ahead and highlight pedestrians and objects on the side of the road.
The scratch shield paint heals minor scratches to the body of the car over time, nominally 7 days depending on environmental factors. This uses a heat-activated elastic polymer resin in the paint. Note that the service life of the scratch shield paint is considered to be 3 – 5 years.
The first revision of the Elgrand E52 was released in Japan from August 2010 to January 2014.
During this time there were 6 trim levels available. All models were available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) being the only transmission option.
A 250 prefix to the trim level represented a 2.5 litre inline-4 engine (QR25DE) while a 350 prefix to the trim level represented a 3.5 litre V6 engine (VQ35DE).
Some models were available with both engine options while others were only available with one.
The Elgrand E52 Enchant (a version of the Elgrand E52 with a mobility access seat in the second row) was available in the 250 / 350 Highway Star and the 250 XG.
The Elgrand S-tune was a performance version equipped with the NISMO S-tune kit.
The Black Line was a variant of the Elgrand E52 Rider 250 XG (FWD/AWD) and 350 Highway Star (FWD/AWD) with exclusive dark chrome grille, bumper grille, and headlamp finisher, an exclusive emblem (Rider/AUTECH), Carwings navigation system with exclusive around view monitor and ETC unit, dual power sliding doors (standard on base 350Highway STAR), and a choice of 2 body colors (brilliant white pearl (3 coat pearl), phantom black (pearl).
The High Performance Spec was a version of the Rider 350 Highway Star (FWD) with increased engine power by 20 PS (15 kW; 20 hp) and 1.7 kg·m (17 N·m; 12 lbf·ft) torque, handling improvements (exclusive front cross stay, exclusive centre crossbar, exclusive rear crossbar, YAMAHA performance damper (rear), exclusive tuned suspension, exclusive 19-inch shiny aluminium wheels (dark tone), Michelin Primacy LC 245/45R19 98Y tyres), and an exclusive 'HIGH PERFORMANCE SPEC' emblem.

This was a combination of the High Performance Spec and Black Line models.
Changes to the Elgrand E52 for 2012 included and option for collision avoidance assist with brake override and 4 ultrasound sonar sensors.
All 3.5-litre engine models also featured fuel efficiency improvements, making them eligible for eco car tax reductions.
New metal grey colour (with multi-flex colour) for a total of 5 body colour choices.

Flap yer wings
Created Feb 11, 2008 | Updated Jan 28, 2010
*the Researcher notes that this is a work in early stages of construction. Any factual bits of information that the reader can offer is greatly appreciated and will be acknowleged. Thoughts on the researchers idiosyncracies in terms of spelling and punctuation can be (and will be) wrangled over later.*
The name means 'bird wing' The broadest interpretation of the word refers to a flying machine that gets its thrust from flapping wings. The narrower but usual interpretation is a machine that gets its lift as well from its wings. The narrowest meaning will appear later in the guide.
Why anyone would want to do this is actually the most interesting thing about it. We get around fine in the air now; so why would anyone want to go to a more difficult and inefficient way?
The first ornithopter of record was invented by the person who thought up the Daedalus myth. It must be called a myth because, although he described it as being a real machine made of feathers and wax, it couldn't possibly have flown. The choice of feathers is a romantic one. It shows magical thinking. The other reason for calling it a myth is the fate of Daedalus' son, Icarus, who, drunken with unfamiliar power and ignoring his fathers warning, flew too close to the sun. The wax melted and he plunged into the sea. In reality, the higher you fly, the colder it gets. Also, the sun is 150 million km from here, a substantial portion of which distance has no air and which would invlove much tiresome flapping against nothing and with no way to catch your breath and no lay-bys and no lunch.
The history of flight began much earlier than with Leonardo Da Vinci in the 15th century. It is very likely that the first flyer was a Muslim in the 9th century. Abbas Bin Firnas presented himself to the crowds on a hill near Cordoba, Spain in the year 880 where, as the chronicles recount, he covered his body in a bird costume, guided himself into the harness and told the crowd: "By guiding these wings up and down, I should ascend like the birds."
Like certain British sheep, he did not so much fly as plummet. For his pains, which were substantial, he got a broken back and the derision of the crowd.
Leonardo DaVinci made the first drawing (that we know of) of an ornithopter. It's very important because he gave serious thought to the engineering and so was the first to part from magical thinking. He didn't part by much. His understanding of physics was a little weak. He didn't realize that the human body can't make even nearly enough power to get his version into the air. There is a story that he built one and persuaded someone to leap from a tower in it. It's possible, but it could only have glided Bognor Birdman style; the flapping wouldn't have done anything except give the terrified pilot something to do in his panic.
The most important person in aviation history has to be Sir George Cayley. He was the first to entirely abandon magical thinking. A child of the Enlightenment, he knew that something real was holding the birds up.(Hint: it involves the air.) He described the first aeroplane (not the machine but the principle) then went on to invent the aeroplane (not the principle but the machine) He invented the control surfaces and described streamlining and why it was important. To top it off on the bottom he invented the tension spoke wheel to save weight. If your bicycle weighs less than a ton, thank Sir George.
Unfortunately, he did it all way too soon. The technology of the times (Napoleon was still rampaging around Europe) couldn't give him a powerful enough engine.
Nineteenth Century. The glorious reign of Victoria where anything is technically possible (self confidence ain't hubris 'til until all the scores are in) and many wonders are produced. They tried to overcome Leonardo's problem by using steam power. This made sense to a Victorian who knew that steam can power anything. They didn't get that it's a power-to-weight thing. The steam engines were much more powerful than Leo's victim, but rather heavier.
Twentieth Century. Wright Brothers. No magical thinking here. They didn't even try to make an ornithopter. Their success might be thought to discourage others but, fortunately, no. The reader may have seen a film, maybe a century old, of something that Mary Poppins might have seen in a nightmare. A great canvas bumbershoot is made to furiously bob up and down by what is obviously tonnes of smoking machinery. Magical thinking back again and someone invested in it. One can only offer conjecture as to what the inventor imagined would happen, but the film is likely much funnier.
[There's a whole block of stuff to go here that the researcher hasn't put together yet and will be included later]
In the second half of the twentieth century , someone finally figured it out.
Try this at home, kids! Take a longish piece of card and tape a stick lengthways down the centre with a bit sticking out to hold on to. Flap it up and down. It moves the air about but, otherwise , just flaps up and down. Now, get a scissor and cut some off the edge to one side of the stick. Flap again. This time, it will twist in your hand so that the side that you cut leads the twist. If you have very sensitive fingers, you will also notice that the card wants to move in that direction. That's where the ornithopters thrust comes from.
You can buy toys that do it[Google it] There is at least one version big enough to carry a person.
Ornithopters are not just a curiosity, a gimmick or a romantic idea, though. Well, maybe so far they are, but that doesn't stop us visionaries.The way we fly now is too costly in terms of noise, danger, pollution, etc. In the future, you will be able to step outside your door and get into a machine that takes off vertically and takes you where you want to go without roads and without waking your neighbours when you leave.
A researcher in Canada is working on a version that gets its power from a Stirling cycle muscle that works silently and burns any kind of fuel, even firewood; in Canada that's a big deal.
The narrowest sense of the word ornithopter--A machine that flies like a bird. It gets lift, thrust and control from the ability to move the airfoils. A pedant would offer that this meaning could also include machines that fly like bats or pterosaurs. Only one pedant is allowed in the room at one time, otherwise, any Guide Entry becomes interminable.
Try This at Home.
The reader is strongly encouraged to perform certain excercises in order to gain an intuitive sense of bird flight. This makes technical descriptions easier to understand.
Obtain four pieces of cardboard as from the faces of a large box. Cut each card the same size and shape. Tape them in pairs face to face with tape only on three sides. The fourth, open side is for your hand.
Go outside on a breezy day. It's probably a good idea to wear some yellow boots and a funny hat since your neighbours will think you're daft anyway.
Hold your wings outward and flat to the horizon. By the time you get them there you will have discovered that most attitudes present much more drag in the wind. The wind now has the least force (drag) while the wing is edge on to the wind. What drag there is is parasite drag. Air sticks to the wing surface. Air has to move to get around the wng. All that takes energy.
Tilt the wings forward edge up. Right away your arms are drawn up and back. The up part is lift, the back part is induced drag. Any time you use the attitude of the wings to do the work of lift, the energy has to come from somewhere. Ultimately, you need an engine for this. You can, it's true, get energy from gravity as in a glider, but that usually runs out in useful form quite close to the ground.
If you've chosen a park or some such public place you may by now have attracted the beginning of a crowd. Tell them you're doing High Chi. Here are some maneuvers you can demonstrate.
PITCH Points up, points down.
Move your arms so that the wings are forward of your body and into the wind. Tilt them up. Since the lift is now forward of your centre of gravity, you feel a pitch up. Tilt down, pitch down. Move your arms behind you. The whole thing is reversed.
ROLL Banks left and right.
Tilt your right wing up more than your left. That side lifts more so you lean to the left. Left tip up, you lean to the right. If you were actually flying, you wouldn't just lean that way, you would go that way. It's how regular aeroplanes turn too. If you're particularly sensitive you may notice that, even though you're leaning one way, your nose wants to point the other way. This is because the increased lift drags that side more. If you weren't a bird you could correct that with a rudder. You are, however, so now you have to find another way to control...
YAW Points left, points right.
Right now, since we haven't discussed thrust yet, there's probably no way with your cardboard wings that you can increase the drag on the inside wing without also increasing the lift. So, smile, take a bow for the spectators and go home.
Difficulties in Ornithopter design.
Reciprocating mass
The wings go down, something has to go up to compensate. It can't be the pilot or passengers or warm cans of Coke
The trick is to get the largest possible mass centred between the wings and make it go -up and -down in time with the wings.
The easiest way is to use the engine and all its supporting systems including as much as you can. Fuel systems cooling systems air systems etc.
The fuel system can't include the actual fuel since that's consumed during the flight and the changing mass of it would screw up the motion.
The moving masses rotate around the centres of mass at the 'shoulders'
Since the landing gear has to act through those points it can't be included in the moving mass.
Centre of Lift
Hearby renamed 'Vector' since it includes more information
Since your moving the wings up and down, you might as well let them move forward and back and be able to play with the yaw.
Since you're sending the control surfaces in every direction, it's easier and intuitivly simpler to use the vector. It's the centre and direction of the force on the foil. It's easy to diagram. Easy to visualize.
In toys, usually a twisted rubber band. Larger toys use electric motors or small internal combustion engines. In all cases the fast rotary motion of the engine is translated into slow reciprical motion for the wings by means of some gearbox/crank combination. The weight and complexity of this is one of the main blocks to practical ornithopter design.

^ do you reckon Cyrille will claim he cashed out when WBA were winning 2-1?
^ you must be gutted mate.
Oh yeah forgot about that. How's the renovating going?
norwich last 5 games won 2 drawn 3.
leeds won 2 lost 3.
sh.utd. won 3 drawn 1lost 1.
w.brom won 1 drawn 2 lost 2.
up and up bristol city won 5.
middl. won 3 drawn 2.
apart from leeds,wouldnt want to guess the next 2.
You've just shown they've lost 3 out of their last 5 and are tipping them to win?
I lived near leeds,suporter in the 70's raced greyhounds at elland road,saturday nights out.
Loving Norwich's retro kit with a nod to the 90s.
As one of the posters above said, it's really tight this year; you could argue that the 18th placed team (Preston) still have a shout of making the play offs!
I'm talking Norwich vs Ipswich.
Be careful what you wish for has never been more true than when they made Mick McCarthy walk.
Som Nom Na as they say in Norfolk.
Aston Villa are without Wales defender James Chester for a fourth game running as they host neighbours West Brom.
Chester has had an injection on a "wear and tear" knee injury, but misses the meeting with his old club, although left-back Neil Taylor returns.
Darren Moore's Albion, minus suspended top scorer Dwight Gayle, wait on the fitness of four players.
Matt Phillips, Hal Robson-Kanu, James Morrison and Ahmed Hegazi all have a chance of returning after injury.
With 14 games left to go this season, Villa are seven points off the top six - most of whom have a game in hand - and 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Albion.
The Baggies twice trailed when they shared a 2-2 draw with Villa at The Hawthorns, only to rescue a point with a controversial injury-time Jay Rodriguez equaliser.
Albion did the same in another 2-2 home draw in midweek, when Rodriguez again levelled late on from the penalty spot against Nottingham Forest.
But, although they gained a point, it was at the expense of losing Gayle, to a two-game ban for diving.
Starting with that 2-2 draw at The Hawthorns, when Villa would have been into the top six but for Albion's late leveller, Dean Smith's side have won just twice in 12 league games.
They go into the derby on the back of Wednesday's injury-time defeat at Smith's old club Brentford.
"A lot of it is in our own hands as we've got a lot of the teams above us at home.
"It's a very tight league, as I've said all along, and we don't lose many, but we've got to start turning our form round in terms of winning.
"Most of all, we've got to start winning our home games. as that is what we haven't been doing."
"When you look at some of the times we've played this season, it's great to be back playing at three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, especially for a match of this magnitude.
"It will be wonderful for both sets of fans. And I'd imagine it will be another pulsating battle in a great atmosphere.
"We have just got to focus on what we have at the Albion and apply ourselves, manage the game and manage the atmosphere."
Lambert imploding on the touchline was a nice bonus for you.
Seems Norwich and Leeds are quite difficult to dislodge from those auto spots, even though neither of them are exactly killing it.

Matt Damon has a top-secret role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar!
A former James Bond might be the top choice to play the new Alfred to Ben Affleck's Batman. Two young actors have supposedly read for roles in Star Wars: Episode VII. Vin Diesel offers some deep thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy and Riddick. Spoilers on the way!
I'd bust out the grains of salt for this one, but there are now two new actors rumored to be in the running for roles in the new Star Wars movie. The bigger of the two names is Alex Pettyfer –- who made a forgettable foray into sci-fi fare with the starring role of I Am Number Four but also did a decent job as a vapid stripper in Magic Mike, so I guess that's something –- who has reportedly read for some unknown role, which theoretically could be Luke Skywalker's son, but really could just as theoretically be a space- and time-displaced Winston Churchill, so it's probably best to keep speculation to a minimum until we have anything more to go on.
When we were doing The Chronicles of Riddick, back in 2003, David [Twohy] and I put together three leather binder, and each leather binder had a lock. They were those binders that you could lock. And we gave them to the head of the studio with one key. On the first binder, it said [COR] I, the second binder said [COR] II and the third binder said [COR] III. At that production level, the amount of money that we were spending at that point, we were thinking of going directly to the Underverse for [COR] II, and then to Furya for [COR] III. When years and years started to go by and we weren't delivering the next chapter, we had to make a very conscious decision to find a way to tell the next chapter, continue the story and continue the mythology, even if it meant we weren't going to get the size budget we had just had on The Chronicles of Riddick.
Luckily for us, there was an outcry from social media to make this one rated R, which did two things. It ruled out all possibilities of a studio backing it. As you know, rated R movies are few and far between, nowadays. We're all seeing less and less rated R movies, and less and less of them are being made. We had to take a more independent route, so I went to Europe, to a film market, and presented what this film was going to be, and got foreign money to start this movie and to be the bulk of the financing for the movie. And then, it was up to us to take that somewhat limited means, especially in comparison to where we were on Chronicles, and tell a story with those limited means. Thank god, the audience wanted it rated R because that justified, in some ways, taking a more independent route.
First of all, David Bautista came in and was just great. I remember when he was auditioning, I immediately saw something. I immediately saw some potential… This was done a little bit differently [than with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Fast Five] because we were still focusing on the Johns (Matt Nable) and Dahl (Katee Sackhoff) characters, and all the characters who are part of the mercs. But, I remember that day. I got spoiled on Fast Five. I started to get self-conscious about fight sequences because, invariably, the other person would get hurt, and you never want anyone to be hurt on a film, let alone you being responsible. The great thing about working with these guys who have spent their lives choreographing fights for wrestling is that that's their specialty. Their specialty is selling taking hits. Their specialty is selling explosive hits without really making a contact, or really doing too much damage. So, I was able to exploit that for the Fast Five fight, as well as with David Bautista. He's the only character in Riddick that our protagonist fights to that degree, in part because he was conditioned to do that. He was such a great choice to have that fight sequence with.
"Liberty" – The Machine, now completely self-governed with its whereabouts unknown, resumes giving Finch its "irrelevant" numbers for people in danger, which include a U.S. naval officer in town for Fleet Week. However, with so many sailors flooding the streets of New York City, finding the officer in time presents an even bigger challenge for Reese and Shaw. Meanwhile, Carter has been demoted to a patrol officer as a result of her being set up by the corrupt police crime organization HR, and sets a plan in motion to eradicate them for good. Also, Root tests the boundaries of her new asylum surroundings, on the third season premiere of PERSON OF INTEREST, Tuesday, Sept. 24 (10:00 – 11:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Immediately!!! Your definition of this word is different than mine. When I use this word, it means at this very moment. Whenever you use it, it can have several different meanings.
Most often when I call you to obey immediately, to you, it means as soon as you get good and ready. Once you get past your fear, discomfort, doubt, and any other hindrance, then you will do it. My desire is to remove all these things so you can truly be immediately obedient.
I want you to receive the fullness of the blessings I have for your obedience immediately. The more you delay to obey, the more you delay the totality of My blessings from bring poured out in your life.

Yesterday I read in my fellow Flickr photographer Duckhunter's blog about his problems with ordering a regular coffee at a Starbucks. My first thought was, "Nah, this has got to be an over-reaction." Well, this morning I had an opportunity to jump in with my own criticisms of Starbucks.
First, the setting – I normally don't frequent Starbucks. I don't particularly like their regular coffee, and the espresso drinks are just too pricey and fattening for regular patronage. On this occasion, I needed to drop of my car at our local garage to have a headlight replaced, and the only place to hang out for the 40 minutes or so while this was happening was across the street at Starbucks. I was prepared. I had my laptop and the book I was reading. I was going to get coffee, a muffin, and use their WiFi to check e-mail, etc.
Price – compared to other coffee options, it is more expensive.
Refills – I ordered just a regular cup of coffee. Every other coffee shop I visit (Panera, Atlanta Bread Company, etc) has free refills. I didn't see that option here. In fairness, I didn't really need a refill, but the option would have been nice.
WiFi – The only option was a T-Mobile hot spot, which isn't free. Atlanta Bread and Panera, as well as many other coffee shops in the area offer free WiFi.
Customers don't like feeling nickled and dimed to death, and that was the feeling I got from Starbucks this morning. So, I just left my laptop in my backpack, sipped my expensive coffee, ate my rock-hard muffin, read my book, and waited for my car to be fixed.
I'm pretty sure the Starbucks in Clemson has free wifi. My gripe is that there is no cost discount for getting coffee in a mug for "there" instead of in a "to go" cup. Where I go, it's $1.25 for an in-house mug (lots of coffee), and .75 for each refill. A "to go" cup purchased outright would be more, but still cheaper than Starbucks. Plus, MoJo's dark roast coffee is top of the line. REALLY tasty.
I kind of think that going to Starbucks is for older folks (twenty-somethings) what going to McDonalds is for little kids. For many of the same reasons.
I have never been to a starbucks in my life. I don't drink coffee, and when I had someone from work go there and offer to get me something, I asked for Chai, my usual coffe house beverage. It was NASTY. No reason for me to ever try them again.
Starbucks isn't getting much praise around here. Thanks for mentioning me.

Why does it work fine on my local server but not on Amazon servers?
And in local environment, if I request to localhost: 3060, login is maintained, but at 127.0.0.1:3060, login is not maintained
Maybe it has something to do with this?
If you know, please let me know Thank you

A: You are deploying to 2 different domains

*

*back: api-terecal-notebird.com

*front: terecal-nodebird.com

You (generally) can not share cookies between domains. I assume it worked on your local environment because both live in localhost, so the cookie can be shared. You can read more about this here
My advice is to move your backend server to a same domain with your frontend, so they can share cookies between them.
Example:
Move the backend server to api.terecal-nodebird.com and set your cookies to have a domain of .terecal-nodebird.com.
OR
You can just move the backend to terecal-nodebird.com/api.

Living in Vermont, with a wife teaching at Middlebury, and three college kids, I am very aware of political correctness, privilege, and offense. The "victimhood jujitsu", where something you say or hear puts you or someone else off-balance. The passive aggression, finding subliminal intent where none was on the sayer's mind.
Not that I hold the conservative view... just addressing the educational tactic of reverse-labelling.
PC culture may be a good thing or a bad thing. But political correctness may have unintended consequences when it emboldens a type of anti-bully, a Madame LaFarge, to call out privileged people for oblique intent. Indeed, some of the political right of Brietbart give credit to liberal college shaming to emboldening them. Like in jujitsu, the left shifts its body weight to anticipate the right's weakness, and the right re-leverages its body weight to counter.
Like sloshing in a bathtub, this kind of immature discussion makes a mess.
Insecurity about our inherited history can cause us to project insecurity onto others. It bears a lesson most societies have taught us to resist.
By immature, I mean the conversation is very much backsliding from the ancient Greek philosophy which made the West great, and so backwards from the ancient Tao, Gita, and Zen power that grew their great civilizations. Rhetoric should be less than dialectic, and silence should be more powerful than exaggeration.
In very poor and emerging places, being offended is shown less quickly - because its a bigger deal. There is real danger in offending people. Children are taught not to offend people. Throwing offenses is seen as the privilege of the "big legume" (big man is "vegetable" in francophone afrique). Uneducated people throw insults at each other. Wise men defer.
The mantra not to offend is easier to follow in a village or rural county than it is in a globalized world. Say "Merry Christmas" to be polite in Taney County. Say "A Salaam Alekum" when entering a home in Tamale. In each case, it's the opposite of jujitsu... you are demonstrating that you are not off-balancing or leveraging your host, you are going with the flow for the right reason.
The universities of the world are an incredible melting pot. They grew as bastions of dialectic and constructive argument, developed systems of law, tinkered with engineering, and opened young peoples minds to outside advice and rare insights. I think they are great.
But they are, indeed, a place of privilege. And one of those privileges is to state that you feel offense to something another person thinks or says. If you were in a coal pit, on a cotton harvest, on a fishing boat, or digging a trench in Burkina Faso, you'd tend to smile at an offense, to shrug off a co-workers unintended slant. You tend to go along and assume the best, because sloshing the bathtub makes a mess to mop up.
It's a privilege to call out other peoples privilege. Not necessarily a bad privilege. But like pointing out a burp or a fart to a child, the point is to teach people, not to ostracize them publicly.
Leave open the possibility that a white man wearing a dashiki may have been given it as a gift by a very close friend, who may have bought it from a tailor who needs business. Leveraging the shame of Europeans ugliest past practices to humiliate a man who is already possibly uncomfortable in wearing his pal's gift is not empowering past silent voices. The lessons of the great civilizations of the past are visible in precarious societies, who welcome visitors and laugh gently at awkward gestures. Africans were always, always, always happier when I entered their homes wearing an African shirt than when I wore a necktie. Especially the little children in those homes. They took it the way I meant it, and taught me to get over my trepidation.
University is great. But some people need to get out of the dormitory for awhile.
You will find over time that you did things you thought were brave or good fun, but now find cringeworthy. It's part of learning humility, which is at the heart of what is offsetting about "privilege". We want to understand and acknowledge our privilege, and in retrospect may appreciate having learned about our farts and burps when they were called out. But if someone extends a left-hand in friendship, I have found that most societies cut the guy some slack, look at his intent, and if he's off balance, they use their footing to catch and correct him. He learns the lesson better that way, even if it takes time. There is less of a mess to mop up than when he learns from us shouting gotcha. Societies evolve to teach their cultures that way, because most visitors are not Cortez the Killer.
when my mind goes on after the blog should be over... sometimes I'll append a blog-end. In this case I thinking about how often I hate Cortez, and how often I turn to that hate in this blog. The Spanish burning of the Inca libraries... When I'm called out for "appropriation" (or my kids gently remind me why they cannot wear the gifts they were given from Africa, South America, or Asia), I kind of hear an assumption that I care less about Cortez injustice than someone else because of my birth geography or the color of my skin. Abolitionist John Brown would have failed those tests, but one could hardly accuse him of being a closeted or subconscious racist.
When we fear to be labelled as historical apologists or privileged appropriators, we may gather into groups to demonstrate our allegiance with the oppressed, and there is no stronger way to "pace" in a group than to attack with the most vehemence. Using group leverage, by being the loudest denouncer of privilege, we can seek to inoculate ourselves from being perceived as failing to understand our own.
When we fear to be labelled (by right as well as left), we fail to express our thoughts, and our society is weakened.
What if Cortez ships had been scuttled at sea, or burned on arrival by the Aztecs?
What would the ending have been? How long would Mexican civilization have stayed isolated? What would have happened eventually, 100 years later, as Europe advanced?
Cultural appropriation and mixing and shenzhai is going to happen, I can't see how to stop Soukous from adapting rap lyrics (as K-Pop has done). Some fashions will melt away. But isolation isn't a permanent answer. The best scenario I can imagine is if bully-boys like Cortez were not promoted to captain. Good people should try to be captains. Shaming good people who mean well from learning other cultures because of their dna or geography is not going to make the world better. Teaching them not to be left-handed or cringeworthy is going to be necessary. That happens both directions. If you've read this far, you may want to ask me about cross-culture preparation of Africans to enter USA gay culture. If bullboy Africans had had the bigger boats, we might be learning about a different type of oppressive cultural extinction. Anyway, thought experiments and discussion are good, bottling them up has bad results.

Rebels hack 19 civilians to death in DR Congo
Africa Central Africa World
August 29, 2021 Elwin Mandowa africa, africafeeds, central africa, Civilians, DR Congo, News
At least nineteen civilians have been hacked to death and burnt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The civilians were reportedly killed by Uganda rebels in the DRC.
The incident occurred during an attack on the Kasanzi village in the Beni territory of North Kivu.
Red Cross workers who went into the bush to search for those missing have so far retrieved fourteen bodies.
A local official Kakule Kalunga has told the AFP that several houses were also set ablaze.
"[The] 19 people were killed by the rebels who plague the territory of Beni, the ADF," Kalunga said, adding that the victims were killed by "bladed weapons and fire", and that houses were also set ablaze.
Beni lies at the heart of an area where the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – affiliated to ISIL (ISIS) – have mounted deadly attacks in spite of emergency security measures by President Felix Tshisekedi.
Since May, the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri have been under a state of siege, replacing civilian authorities with army and police officers to fight armed groups.
Some US special operations forces have been deployed to the area to help the Congolese army in their fight against the ADF, US and Congolese.

Q: Replace values of outliers with mean of closest normal data points in Pandas DataFrame I am to perform seasonal decomposition on around 1000 time series which can contain outliers. I want to replace the outliers with a mean value, since the outlier can corrupt the seasonality extraction.
 df

 TimeStamp   |   value
 2021-01-01       1
 2021-01-02       5
 2021-01-03       23
 2021-01-04       18
 2021-01-05       7
 2021-01-06       3
    ...

Outliers are defined as any sample with an absolute z-score larger than 3.
df['zscore'] = scipy.stats.zscore(df['value'])

I can identify the timestamp of all outliers
(df['zscore'].abs() >= 3]).index

which in above example would return
[2021-01-03,2021-01-04]

Given this list of indexes, how do I replace the value with the mean of the closest previous and next neighbors such that I get the following output?
 df_mod

 TimeStamp   |   value
 2021-01-01       1
 2021-01-02       5
 2021-01-03       6
 2021-01-04       6
 2021-01-05       7
 2021-01-06       3
    ...

Would appreciate any help on how to realize this type of function / logic.
EDIT
There can exists NaN values in the time series from the beginning, which I do not want to replace with mean.

A: You can replace value to NaN by condition in Series.mask and then for replace by mean sum forward and back filling values with divide by 2:
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)
orig = df.index
df = df.dropna(subset=['value'])
df['value'] = df['value'].mask(df['zscore'].abs() >= 3)
df['value'] = df['value'].ffill().add(df['value'].bfill()).div(2)
df = df.reindex(orig)

Solution without helper column:
zscore = scipy.stats.zscore(df['value'])

df['value'] = df['value'].mask(zscore.abs() >= 3)
df['value'] = df['value'].ffill().add(df['value'].bfill()).div(2)

Lady Raiders play what one player calls their best game since losing Bryant, will face Alexandria in county winner's bracket final

OXFORD – Is it too early to start calling the Pleasant Valley softball team a team of destiny?
The Lady Raiders won their second and most important game since returning to the field after losing teammate Anna Bryant to an injury, knocking off top-seeded and second-ranked 6A Oxford 5-1 in the Calhoun County Softball Tournament Thursday night.
The victory was highlighted McKinley Parris' game-breaking three-run homer, a two-run shot by Kara Perry (her seventh), another good pitching performance by Alisa St. John and some slick defense for the second game in a row.
Parris called it "probably the best we've played" since Bryant suffered a severe head injury and underwent surgery after being struck by a foul ball in the dugout during a tournament in Ardmore a week ago Friday. The team immediately pulled out of the tournament and cancelled a Monday game with Oxford.
The fourth-seeded Lady Raiders (23-11-1), ranked eighth in Class 3A, now meet second-seeded No. 5-5A Alexandria (24-9) in the winner's bracket final Friday at 5:30 p.m. The winner heads to the championship game at 8:30.
"I don't think it's too early to call us a team of destiny," Parris said. "Anna is one of our main players — our pitcher and our centerfielder, and she has an amazing bat — but since we're playing for her it gives us more energy to step up."
Bryant is said to be making steady progress in her recovery at a Birmingham hospital. Interim head coach Dexter Duncan wasn't certain when she would be discharged, but Parris said if Bryant were somehow able to make it to Oxford Lake Park for Friday's round, it would "make us even more excited and even more eager to win this for her."
In the meantime, her parents, PV softball coach David Bryant and volleyball coach Dana Bryant, remain at her side, the team continues to rally around her absence and programs throughout the county continue to show their support.
Duncan, meanwhile, was a little reluctant after Thursday's game to put that "team of destiny" label on his charges just yet.
"We're not doing anything we're not capable of already doing," he said. "We're just down a player – and we miss her dearly."
Parris broke a scoreless tie with her three-run homer. Oxford pitcher Rylee Waldrep retired the first nine PV batters she faced – striking out the side on 11 pitches in the first inning — but the Lady Raiders finally got to her in the fourth.
Atleigh Brannon opened the inning with a single, but was forced on a fielder's choice by Cheyanne Griffith. Savannah Williams singled, then Parris blasted her homer to center field.
"It was a pretty big at-bat," Parris said. "It was really exciting. Last year we played them in our tournament and they beat us 6-5. I think it was a good feeling to come back and beat them this time, because they put us out in (the county final for) volleyball and basketball (county semifinals), so we just wanted to get revenge."
Perry extended the lead with her two-run blast in the sixth that followed a two-out single by Parris. St. John made it stand by scattering four hits and walking two. The only run she allowed was Kaylynn Garrett's leadoff homer in the sixth.
"I thought it was amazing to get my team a win for Anna," Perry said. "Anna is one of our main players. Hitting is contagious and Anna is a big part of that. We know what our destiny holds, we've just got to finish it."
Earlier in the day, Duncan and Piedmont coach Rachel Smith met to decide their tiebreaker for top seed and host of the area title. They decided to play it off on the field. The teams will play 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at PV with Piedmont as the home team.
Alexandria 5, Piedmont 2
The Lady Cubs topped third-seeded Piedmont behind the pitching and hitting of Lauren O'Dell. She gave up four hits and one earned run in five innings and broke a 1-1 tie in the third with a three-run homer to get her own offense back on track.
O'Dell's two-out homer left the yard just inside the left-field foul pole and followed singles by Summer Watts and Mattie Wade. It was her first homer since blasting one against John Carroll in a March tournament in Ardmore.
"A home run is a home run, whether it goes 450 feet or 210," O'Dell said. "To finally get that out of my bat and just seeing the ball and hitting the ball better, that's just a big confidence booster and it's going to help me out a lot coming up to the plate."
In the circle O'Dell checked the Lady Bulldogs on four hits, one earned run and struck out seven.
The Lady Cubs know their next opponent is playing on an "emotional high" right now.
"They're a pretty good team and they've got some drive behind them right now with their player down," O'Dell said. "They've got a little fire in them and I would, too; I want to play for my teammate if she were down."

10 Facts You Must Know About Miley Cyrus – Search Site Content
10 Facts You Must Know About Miley Cyrus
From her time on Hannah Montana to her smash-hit songs, Miley Cyrus has been in the public eye for over 19 years. While most of the world knows her for her voice and her acting abilities, there's a lot more to this star than meets the eye. Keep reading to discover 10 more facts about Miley Cyrus that you probably didn't know before!
1. Her name hasn't always been Miley.
Image Credit: Kathy Hutchins on Shutterstock
While the world knows her as Miley Cyrus, she was originally named Destiny Hope Cyrus. After being called the nickname "Smiley" throughout her childhood years, the star eventually changed her name to Miley in 2008.
According to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, her original name had a meaningful purpose behind it. In an interview with Piers Morgan, he said, "Her name was originally Destiny Hope, I had given her the name before she was born because I had a vision. I felt it was her destiny to bring hope to the world."
2. Her godmother is Dolly Parton.
Image Credit: Getty Images
If you were an avid watcher of Hannah Montana, you might've seen Dolly Parton appear in the season one episode "God Golly Miss Dolly." In the show, she plays Miley's aunt, but in real life, she's actually the star's godmother.
3. Her first acting gig wasn't on Hannah Montana.
Contrary to popular belief, Miley Cyrus had a different acting gig before her launch into the spotlight on Hannah Montana. When she was just nine years-old, Cyrus began her acting career on the show Doc.
This medical drama starred her father Billy Ray Cyrus, allowing her to appear in three episodes of the series' five-season run.
4. She originally auditioned to be Hannah Montana's best friend.
Image Credit: S_bukley on Shutterstock
Before obtaining the starring role of Disney's Hannah Montana, Cyrus originally auditioned for the role of Hannah Montana's best friend, Lily Truscott. After she auditioned, though, the casting directors encouraged her to try for Hannah's part, and the rest was history.
6. She grew up on a farm.

Miley Cyrus is a country girl at heart. According to an interview with Paper magazine, her childhood took place on a 500-acre farm. There, she'd wake up early in the morning and, "ride a dirt bike around in the nude."
7. She sticks her tongue out for a reason.
Image Credit: Featureflash Photo Agency on Shutterstock
After years of sticking her tongue out in photos, this pose has become one of her signature looks. But, there's actually a reason behind the pose. Apparently, Miley sticks her tongue out because she gets nervous for photos and believes she doesn't know how to smile properly.
8. She's popular on Google.
Image Credit: DFree on Shutterstock
In 2013, Miley Cyrus was the most Google-searched person of the year. This means that Cyrus topped Lady Gaga, Obama, and even God. With 1 billion google searches, the number has only increased from there.
9. She started the Happy Hippie Foundation.
In 2015, Miley Cyrus launched the Happy Hippie Foundation, whos mission is to, "rally young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations," according to their website.
10. She has a heart condition called tachycardia.

Tachycardia refers to having a heart rate that's too fast, or over 100 beats per minute. In her memoir "Miles to Go," Cyrus discussed how the condition isn't a danger to her health. She said, "The type of tachycardia I have isn't dangerous. It won't hurt me, but it does bother me. There is never a time onstage when I'm not thinking about my heart."

Be the first to review "Bright Mood of 2017" Cancel reply
A self-taught artist from Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, currently based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Yuriy Grebenyuk is a Painter and Graphic Artist. She is also a proud member of the Union of Artists at the Academy of Arts, Uzbekistan.
Yuriy uses different techniques and materials – including watercolour, oil, and graphics – and draws inspiration from many directions in his work. However, nature is a common theme across his body of work, which includes many illustrations of natural scenes of floral arrangements. In his pieces, Yuriy enhances the strong dynamism of his composition by employing a broad, sweeping, multi-layered painting style.
To him, intense colours bring a painting to life, as they radiate energy and therefore spark emotion and feeling in the viewer. Yuriy uses a complex colour palette to express his intense internal feelings and temperament, allowing them to spill out onto the canvas as he works. Yuriy feels that using colour – in various combinations, mixing tones – enables him to dispel negative emotions and create a sense of harmony. He likens this to the feeling one gets when hearing the delicacy and subtlety of musical chords.
Yuriy's paintings resonate in the hearts of many collectors and art lovers. They are seen in numerous private collections across countries such as the USA, England, Japan, India, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, China, Greece and more. He has taken part in several national and international exhibitions. He has also held personal exhibitions at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Memorial House Museum of the Urals Tansykbaev in Tashkent.

The Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth have released an official statement and update regarding the four sisters who were involved in an auto accident on Sunday.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers and your kindness this week. Our Sisters in Philadelphia who were involved in the vehicle accident on Sunday have each given permission today for us to share her name with our friends of Nazareth.
We continue to ask for prayers for Sr. Boguslawa, Sr. Mary Anthony, Sr. Regina and Sr. John as they recover from their injuries.
As they convalesce, our injured Sisters have kindly asked for no visitors, please.
If you would like to send one or all of the Sisters a message, we have set up a special email address at PhiladelphiaSisters@nazarethcsfn.org. Please include the Sister's name in the subject line. We will make sure she receives it.
Please indicate somewhere on the envelope which Sister should receive the message.
All of our Sisters express their sincere gratitude for the outpouring of prayers, concern and support during this challenging time. We also ask for you to continue to respect our Sisters' privacy as they heal.
