Spanx, an intimate apparel company with leggings and pants, was founded in 2000. As a global brand, the company helps women around the world feel great about themselves and their potential. Products range from everyday smoothing undergarments to pants and legwear and are adored by celebrities and consumers everywhere.
The mission of Spanx is not simply about selling merchandise. "It's based on empowering women, making them not only feel good about themselves but also giving back to the community and paying it forward," explains Alyson Mills, Director of Sales. One way the company gives back is by participating in Habitat for Humanity, allowing employees to build houses for families in need.
When they aren't constructing homes, Spanx team members are working hard in their brand new offices in the heart of Atlanta with close access to premier restaurants and shopping. The offices are open and spacious, include incredible amenities (such as a state of the art cafeteria and outdoor work spaces), and are well-equipped to foster innovation and creativity.
"Something that they built in the new office were work rooms for us with gridded walls. We have three different rooms where we can play with our product assortments. It's a space that allows our team to be creative, to have meetings with the product right there," says Taylor Sock, Merchandising Manager. Not to mention, there is a full retail space in the office so employees can sense what the consumer experience will be before the product even launches.
Check out Spanx's offices, then go get your next job.

I was certain I would never know the love of a mother for myself. God has a wonderful manner of completing us when we least expect it and with the most unlikely people. I have been friends with Margaret for 20 years. We met back in Atlanta at a time when I would not allow myself to peek into my damaged,trauma filled past. Margaret came into my life back then with arms opened.
She would look at me with such warmth,enough to begin the process of melting the glacier that was taking over my heart in those days. She knew what I needed emotionally and freely gave it;for the first time ever in my early 20's I experienced a mother's unconditional love and I craved for more.Much like a new-born in dire need at feeding time.My heart broke when a few years after meeting her our lives changed,sending both of us in different directions temporarily. Like everything else in my life,I embraced the new changes ,still clinging to Margaret even from afar.
A few years ago I reconnected with her and I felt great to have been able to become reacquainted with another member of my family. Ever since then I have chosen to call her Mamacita because she is the embodiment of everything I have ever imagined about having my own mother.
me on a course that forced me to search out and find a family of my own. And I have,through my friends.Fear will hold some of us bound ,keeping us from opening our hearts to those who offer to love us.We all come into this world in dire need of love;yet few of us are brave enough to admit our need to ourselves and to others.
Mamacita,thank you for offering me your cup! It was you who offered a drink from your over flowing vessel;to this dusty,weary,thirsty traveler. Cheers to you and I will forever be thankful that you did!. Had you not offered, I would not have had the courage to ask you for a drink!

Welcome to Newbody's, Cincinnati's gym for personal training since 1996!
My name is Eric Hine. I'm an ACE Certified Master Trainer with over 30,000 hours of hands on personal training experience. I've been involved in exercise personally for over 30 years, and professionally for over 20 years. I'm not someone who took up exercise casually and decided to make a living at it. I've spent my entire adult life living the lifestyle I preach. In that time, I've had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of people how to exercise safely and effectively, eat right, improve or over come injuries of all kinds, and achieve their fitness goals. I can help you too!
At Newbody's, I employ safe, non impact, resistance training exercises to strengthen and tone calorie burning muscle tissue, burn fat, increase bone density, improve core strength, and enhance flexibility. While there are always trends in fitness, weight training is the foundation of all programming, and when properly taught and implemented, is still the king of all exercise. We don't jump on boxes or flip tires here, or perform other activities with a high risk to reward ratio. Because I work one-on-one with you, you will get my undivided attention, ensuring a safe and effective experience.


Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for both plant and animal life. It provides energy to cells in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and is a structural component of cell walls (phospholipids) and of nucleic acids (phosphate backbone of DNA and RNA). Biological productivity is heavily reliant on P availability to photosynthetic organisms, which constitute the base of the food chain in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and hence used as a fertilizer to increase crop yield. The biogeochemical processes governing P availability and dynamics in the environment are complex, and vary widely from one ecosystem to another, thus requiring a highly interdisciplinary approach to research.
Unlike other major biogeochemical elements, the global P cycle is unique in that it does not have a significant gaseous component, as phosphine requires a highly reduced environment to be stable. The majority of terrestrial reactive P is originally derived from the weathering of calcium phosphate (e.g., apatite) and other minerals and the conversion of mineral P to dissolved forms. Since P content in rocks is generally low, microbial recycling of organic P forms plays an important role in supporting primary production and controlling ecosystem structure. Overall, the global P cycle has five main components: (1) tectonic uplift of P-bearing rocks (e.g., phosphorite); (2) physical and chemical weathering of rocks and minerals, generating soils as well as particulate and dissolved P forms; (3) P transport to water bodies via rivers, streams, groundwater, and aerosols; (4) P transport to the deep ocean via sedimentation of mineral P and particulate organic matter (marine snow); and (5) P burial in marine sediments and transformations and lithification after burial. The textbooks included below provide overviews of specific components of the P cycle. Schlesinger and Bernhardt 2013 is a comprehensive textbook dedicated to biogeochemistry, with insights into global biogeochemical cycles, including that of P cycle. Libes 1992 and Hansell and Carlson 2002 focus on marine biogeochemistry, with the former including an overview of the marine P cycle and the latter focusing on dissolved organic matter and the dynamics of dissolved organic P. Turner, et al. 2005 focuses on organic P in the environment, from its characterization to the biotic and abiotic processes controlling its reactivity in the environment. Selim 2015 is a compilation of studies examining the role P plays in enhancing or reducing the mobility of heavy metals in soil and the soil-water-plant environment. Nriagu and Moore 1984 is dedicated to P mineralogy, while Shergold and Cook 2005; Notholt, et al. 2005; and Burnett and Riggs 2006 focus on phosphorite deposits across geologic time. Lastly, Zapata and Roy 2004 combines research on the application of phosphate rocks in agriculture.

Q: Python Multiple Datetimes To One I have two types of datetime format in a Dataframe.
Date
2019-01-06  00:00:00 (%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S')
07/17/2018 ('%m/%d/%Y')

I want to convert into one specific datetime format. Below is the script that I am using
d1 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%m/%d/%Y',errors='coerce')
d2 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S',errors='coerce')
df1['Date'] = d2.fillna(d1)

While doing this, the code is clubbing some of the other datetime into another. For ex: 7th January 2018 is coming as July 1st 2018. This problem is associated with  this format (%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S') after running the above script.

A: If there are mixed format also in format 2019-01-06  00:00:00 - it means it should be January or June, only ways is prioritize one format - e.g. here first months and add first format d2 and then d3 in chained fillna:
d1 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%m/%d/%Y',errors='coerce')
d2 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',errors='coerce')
d3 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S',errors='coerce')

df1['Date'] = d2.fillna(d1).fillna(d3)

If need prioritize first days:
df1['Date'] = d3.fillna(d1).fillna(d2)

In sample data is possible check difference:
print (df1)
                  DATE
0  2019-01-06 00:00:00
1  2019-01-15 00:00:00
2  2019-20-10 00:00:00
3           07/17/2018

d1 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%m/%d/%Y',errors='coerce')
d2 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',errors='coerce')
d3 = pd.to_datetime(df1['DATE'], format='%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S',errors='coerce')

df1['Date1'] = d2.fillna(d1).fillna(d3)
df1['Date2'] = d3.fillna(d1).fillna(d2)
print (df1)
                  DATE      Date1      Date2
0  2019-01-06 00:00:00 2019-01-06 2019-06-01 <- difference
1  2019-01-15 00:00:00 2019-01-15 2019-01-15
2  2019-20-10 00:00:00 2019-10-20 2019-10-20
3           07/17/2018 2018-07-17 2018-07-17

Riverina Coach Josh Cale is confident his side will be up for the challenge when they take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs in their upcoming trial match on Saturday, 16th February at Albury Sports Ground.
Cale, who has coached the Country Under-23's Representative side for the last two years, believes it is a fantastic opportunity for regional players to test themselves against NRL talent.
"It's not every day you get an opportunity to come up against an NRL star and to come up against a whole squad is probably once in a life time opportunity, so it's something I'm sure they're all really excited about," said Cale.
Having coached against the Samoan and Scottish national sides in recent years, Cale understands the value of experience when taking on big name opponents and plans to draw upon the experience of several ex-NRL players in the Riverina side including Adrian Purtell, Etu Uaisele, Ben Jeffrey and Nick Skinner.
"We've got plenty of experience there, we've got a few blokes that have played NRL themselves and a lot of the players have been linked with clubs here and there.
"We're in good stead and I'm sure we can give them a good hit out and hopefully there will be a big crowd down there to have a look because it will be something special.
"There's been a heap of interest in it around town and it's always intriguing to see NRL stars taking on players from the bush so I think people are really looking forward to enjoying the experience.
There will be a host of local talent on display for the home fans including Group 9 2018 premiership-winning Captain James Smart, along with his Gundagai team mates James Luff and Tyron Gorman.
The trial will also include two curtain-raising matches, with the Riverina Men's under 23s taking on the Melbourne Storm under 20s side, as well as a Riverina Open Age Women's side taking on Victoria.

Q: Chromecast API doesn't accuratelly detect when device is connected/disconnected I have a problem when i am trying to use my chromecast device.
Currently I have an app for Android , one for iOS
and these 2 apps from github.
https://github.com/googlecast/MediaRouter-Cast-Button-android
https://github.com/googlecast/CastVideos-android
All of them have a common problem. They sometimes cannot accuratelly tell if a chromecast device is connected or disconnected.Taking around a minute before they find it out themselfs.While an application like Youtube , discovers if it is connected or not, instantly.
EDIT #1 START:
While using the application "Cast Videos" for android from GitHub the following thing happens.
I hold the android device in my hand (Samsung Galaxy S2).
I know chromecast is on because I can see it on my monitor.
I start the application "Cast Videos".
The Chromecast icon does not appear, even if the chromecast device is on.
EDIT #1 END;
I have tried using the app_id from my own receiver application , and the default receiver app_id.
I have found a way to trick them into finding the device. By launching the youtube application on an Android or iOS device , connect to the chromecast device , then disconnect.
When I return to on off the apps I have mentioned at the start of the question , they can detect it now , and connect to it.
The two applications from github are not modified , and use the most up to date support libraries (appcompat, mediarouter, CCL).
The applications are now being currently build on a Mac (if that matters). I don't think it will be of any difference if they were built on Windows or something else.
EDIT #2:
I am starting to suspect that actually the wifi router in the building im programming may cause these connection problems. Because when I send the app to other people they don't have the same problem.
EDIT #3:
Good news :D.
The latest update on the castcompanionlibrary made chromecast detection much more reliable and the sample now detects preciselly every time if it is connected or not.

Drone Video Shows Kansas Has Burned Into Apocalypse
Jim Satney March 8, 2017
"It's horrible, just horrible. I left the house with (60) shells and used them all," Konrade said. He said he probably killed 40 cows, "and in a lot of places there weren't even very many left alive to put down."
"All in all, I'd guess I seen between 300 and 400 dead cattle," he said. "It was just a matter of putting animals out of their misery, doing them a favor. They were going to die anyway.
"It's horrible out there, the things I saw today. The fire was so big, and so much of Clark County burned, I don't see how anything lived through it."
The state of Kansas is burning at unprecedented levels. Parts of it are literally scorched earth at this point. And many people are having to shoot their own cattle in order to avoid the perils from all the smoke and fire. Clark county has been burned almost entirely. An entire county, smoldering in ashes.
According to Randall Spare, co-owner of Ashland Veterinary Center, via Kansas.com.
"Let me put it into perspective: If someone had 500 cattle on their ranch, I'd guess at least 80 to 90 percent were killed in the last day," Spare said. "That's not including the calves; we're really getting into calving season and there was a lot of baby calves on the ground."
The fires have all but taken down the entire county of Clarke.
The combination of severely dried out lands and 60 mph winds has led to a tinderbox in the state.
A drone view shows Meade, Kansas burning into ash and smoldering. This video was taken Monday evening, March 6th 2017 somewhere around Meade, Kansas about 6 miles high. These fires were spread out as far as the eye could see, for dozens of miles. They started in the panhandle of Oklahoma.

Doctor Who: Looking Back At COLD BLOOD | Warped Factor - Words in the Key of Geek.
Christopher Morley wraps up our week long Silurian study with Cold Blood.
Cold Blood sees the Silurains persuaded to go into underground hibernation once more following diplomatic talks with esteemed representatives of those whose planet they wanted back.
It's a massive step forward considering the enormous failure of the last attempt at mediation between the two races at Wenley Moor. Just as the Doctor's earlier self was often to be found bemoaning the limitations of the military mind, with his ire directed at his old friend & former boss Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, the man he has become now finds himself dismayed at the heavy-handed approach of Restac, one of homo reptilia's commanders.
DOCTOR: Hello. Who are you?
DOCTOR: Oh dear, really? There's always a military, isn't there?
MALOHKEH: Your weapon was attacking the oxygen pockets above our city.
DOCTOR: Oxygen pockets, lovely. Ooo, but not so good with an impending drill. Now it makes sense.
RESTAC: Where is the rest of your invasion force?
DOCTOR: Invasion force. Me and lovely Nasreen? No. We came for the humans you took. And to offer the safe return of Alaya. Oh wait, you and she, what is it, same genetic source? Of course you're worried, but don't be, she's safe.
RESTAC: You claim to come in peace, but you hold one of us hostage.
DOCTOR: Wait, wait, we all want the same thing here.
RESTAC: I don't negotiate with apes. I'm going to send a clear message to those on the surface.
Scientist Malohkeh disagrees with her tactics. "This isn't the way." And he's quite right! But surely democracy will never triumph with a gun-toting Eocene standing in its way?
MALOHKEH: All right, Restac, you've made your point.
RESTAC: This is now a military tribunal. Go back to your laboratory, Malohkeh.
And an elder, Eldane, is another progressive thinker- able to see a future in which man & Silurian can live together.
ELDANE: Stop! You want to start a war while the rest of us sleep, Restac?
RESTAC: The apes are attacking us.
ELDANE: You're our protector, not our commander, Restac. Unchain them.
RESTAC: I do not recognise your authority at this time, Eldane.
ELDANE: Well then, you must shoot me.
RESTAC: You woke him to undermine me.
MALOHKEH: We're not monsters. And neither are they.
RESTAC: What is it about apes you love so much, hmm?
MALOHKEH: While you slept, they've evolved. I've seen it for myself.
Perhaps there is hope for a peaceable solution, however un-Doctor Who-like that may be! Perhaps the Time Lord is still haunted by the memory of the awful battle he'd witnessed aboard the Sea Base seven selves ago.
"Oh, that's much better, thanks. Not got any celery, have you? No. No, not really the climate. Tomatoes, though. You'd do a roaring trade in those."
And with that, the possible seed of a future move into the greengrocers' trade is planted in Malohkeh's mind. It'll have to wait until after he's served as physician to the Holy Roman Emperor - one Winston Spencer Churchill!
Perhaps this is the other way the Fifth Doctor had been so keen to find?
"Okay. Bringing things to order. The first meeting of representatives of the human race and Homo Reptilia is now in session. Ha! Never said that before. That's fab. Carry on."
The sort of debate Question Time must wish it could snaffle then commences.
AMY: So, what about the areas that aren't habitable to us? Australian outback, Sahara desert, Nevada plains. They're all deserted.
NASREEN: Yes, fine, but what happens when their population grows and breeds and spreads? And anyway, what benefit does humanity get, and how will we ever sell this to people on the surface?
ELDANE: If I could get a word in, maybe I could tell you. You give us space, we can bring new sources of energy, new methods of water supply, new medicines, scientific advances. We were a great civilisation. You provide a place for us on the surface, we'll give you knowledge and technology beyond humanity's dreams. If we work together, this planet could achieve greatness.
NASREEN: Okay. Now I'm starting to see it.
DOCTOR: Not bad for a first session. More similarities than differences.
Which concludes with the Silurians sent "back to their rest, on the promise of future harmony with humans" and raises the question of what happens when "my people awaken from their thousand year sleep ready to rise to the surface". After all the Doctor is now a very different man from the one the species had known at the various stages of both its own and his evolution, which surely raises the possibility of future re-acquaintance?
"No, wait, wait, please. In an earlier regeneration you knew me as the Doctor."
DOCTOR: You can't just change what I look like without consulting me!
TIME LORD: You will have an opportunity to choose your appearance.
DOCTOR: Oh, well, that's not so bad. But I warn you, I'm very particular.
And after subsequently refusing all the alternatives to his then current trendy scruffbag mop-top look, he's given a new one and packed off to get a real job with UNIT. One of his earliest assignments being to take a look at the Silurians for the first time!
SILURIAN: Why do you want to help us?
DOCTOR: Because I want there to be peace between you and the humans. This is their planet now.
SILURIAN: This planet is ours. It always has been.
But would he be so favourably disposed toward them following ten regenerations and a possible change in outlook?

"So many of the problems are caused by gang members many of whom are not legally in our country," Trump claimed.
President Trump, speaking Wednesday at an event with law enforcement officials from across the country, claimed without proof that violence in Chicago is caused by undocumented immigrant gang members.
"So much of the problems — you look at Chicago and you look at so many other places — so many of the problems are caused by gang members many of whom are not legally in our country," Trump said.
Trump made the assertion at a conference for the Major County Sheriffs' Association and Major Cities Chiefs Association without offering any proof to back up his claim. A 2015 report from the American Immigration Council found that immigrants were less likely than native born people to commit crimes.
From 1990 to 2013, the number of undocumented immigrants in the US more than tripled from 3.5 million to 11.2 million, the report said. During that same period, FBI data found that the violent crime rate declined by 48%.
Charis Kubrin, a University of California, Irvine criminology professor who has extensively studied the correlation between immigrants and crime, said Trump's statement was too broad and diminishes the complexity of Chicago's crime issues.
"That just completely negates all of the other things going on in that city that contribute to gang problems, but on the other hand I don't want to say gangs don't matter," told BuzzFeed News.
While information on a person's legal status is not publicly available in FBI databases, Kubrin said researchers have found that immigrants as a whole do not increase crime rates.
Kubrin and a colleague recently examined 50 studies published between 1994 and 2014 on the immigration-crime relationship and found that while some studies showed a correlation between immigration and increased crime, there were two-and-a-half times as many findings that showed immigration led to a reduction in crime.
"We find no evidence to indicate that immigration leads to more crime and it may, in fact, suppress it," Kubrin wrote in a piece for The Conversation.
An analysis of crime in the country's 30 largest cities found that violent crime is projected to increase slightly by 3.3%, driven in part by a 17.7% increase in Chicago. Chicago is also expected to account for 43.7% of the total increase in murders.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
Trump also pushed Chicago police to tell federal immigration authorities who the undocumented gang members are.
"I want you to turn in the bad ones. Call Secretary Kelly's representatives and we'll get them out of our country and bring them back where they came from, and we'll do it fast," Trump said.
Chicago is among several cities that have doubled down as sanctuaries for immigrants after Trump won the White House. Days after the election, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel sought to assure the city's residents.
"To all those who are, after Tuesday's election, very nervous and filled with anxiety as we've spoken to, you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago, and you are supported in Chicago," Emanuel said.
Emanuel's spokesman Matt McGrath criticized Trump, in a statement to NBC Chicago, but said the mayor would be willing to work with federal officials.
In a statement, Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said he hopes Trump had an opportunity to hear from other police chiefs who are facing many of the same challenges his city faces.


Jeera is a spice that is mostly used in cuisines. Jeera is a flowering plant and is known as cummin seeds.
The botanical name of jeera is Cuminum cyminum that belongs to the family Umbelliferae. Jeera consists of the dried ripe fruits for the use in foods.
Jeera is cultivated in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Jeera is indigenous to the Nile territory.
Cultivation of jeera is carried out in the countries like India, Sicily, Syria, Morocco and China.
In India cultivation of jeera is carried out in all states except in West Bengal and Assam.
Jeers seeds are brown in colour with light ridges. Jeera are used in cuisines for its aromatic odour and taste.
The main chemicals that are present in jeera seeds are volatile oil, fixed oil and proteins.
The volatile oil is colourless to pale yellow in colour.
Cuminaldehyde is the main constituent of the volatile oil. Volatile oil also consists of other minor constituents like α-pinene, β-pinene, cuminic alcohol, phellandrene, hydrocuminine and hydrated cuminaldehyde.
Cumin seeds consists of high amounts of iron.

The output from the log message above

    % (self.name, type(value).__name__))
BadValueError: Property pk must be an int or long, not a unicode

Anyone has an idea if I'm doing something wrong here?
Note: removing the int from the last line of the code makes no difference (that was the first version).
Also, the code works without a problem on dev_appserver.py.

A: Does your model have a property 'pk', which is now an IntegerProperty(), but was previously a StringProperty(), and the entity with id 757347 was saved with the old version of the model?

A: Create a custom validator for your pk IntegerProperty.
I think @saxon-druce has the right idea about what is failing.
You are receiving an entity from datastore and the from_entity function is apply the data from the entity to an initializer for your db.Model.
validate call is from google/appengine/ext/db/__init__.py
From SDK
class IntegerProperty(Property):
  """An integer property."""

  def validate(self, value):
    """Validate integer property.

    Returns:
      A valid value.

    Raises:
      BadValueError if value is not an integer or long instance.
    """
    value = super(IntegerProperty, self).validate(value)
    if value is None:
      return value

    if not isinstance(value, (int, long)) or isinstance(value, bool):
      raise BadValueError('Property %s must be an int or long, not a %s'
                          % (self.name, type(value).__name__))
    if value < -0x8000000000000000 or value > 0x7fffffffffffffff:
      raise BadValueError('Property %s must fit in 64 bits' % self.name)
    return value

  data_type = int

Create your own trivial validator that attempts to parse an string as an int.
Eventually you would probably want to apply a mapper across all of these entities to bring them all up to the current schema.
The validator is called inside value = super(IntegerProperty, self).validate(value)
so the value should be ready to use as an int at the appropriate time.
Example Validator
def str_int_validator(value):
    if isinstance(value, basestring):
        if value.isdigit():
            return int(value)
        else:
            raise db.BadValueError("Property expected str or int got %r" % value)
    else:
        return value

class Foo(db.Model):

    pk = db.IntegerProperty(validator=str_int_validator)

This code hasn't been tested.

A: I had the same error message after deleting all elements in one entity/table and then trying to upload new values via csv/bulkloader.
The solution was to add the following line
import_transform: transform.none_if_empty(int)

to the property definition in the yaml file for the bulk loader.

Cyber-Risk, Meet Cyber-Resilience
Posted by Becky Metivier
Some five years back, Don Anderson, CIO at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, sat down for the first time with the organization's chief risk officer. As the IT head of one of the Fed's 12 regional banks, he was there to provide input on risk, as part of an initiative to create an enterprise risk management framework.
When the CRO asked Anderson what he considered his top risks, he said, simply, "cybersecurity." She laughed, explaining that it may be one of his problems, but it wasn't an organizational risk. When they met the following year and he gave the same answer, she suggested he come up with a more creative response.
But nobody was laughing six weeks later, when someone breached defenses and made off with the entire HR database. "In that breach, the personal data — PII and account numbers — of 22,000 current and 60,000 retired employees was leaked," said Anderson, during his presentation at the 2019 CyberCrime Symposium. The CRO admitted he'd been right, and said cybersecurity was now on the list of organizational risks, coming in at #10.
The next year, following another breach, it climbed to #7, and the year after, reached #3. "Now, two years later, cybersecurity's the #1 risk across the entire Federal Reserve System," Anderson said.
In fact, Fed Chair Jay Powell surprised observers when he admitted as much during a 2019 60 Minutes interview. "Of the risks we face, cyber-risk is certainly the largest," Powell said. "It's a relatively new kind of risk, and the defense playbook is being developed in real-time."
If cyber is a top risk for the Fed, cyber-resilience is a top security objective. The organization allocates $2 billion annually to the IT function, and "we spend a ton of money on cybersecurity products" to harden defenses, said Anderson. In modern cyber-warfare, though, cybersecurity can't go it alone. Enter risk-based resiliency, which prioritizes applications and systems so they'll be properly protected.
As the nation's central bank, the Fed must be able to rapidly recover following an attack, but provide the availability for business continuity. In his session, Anderson discussed ways organizations can make the cloud part of their resiliency strategies.
Confounded by Configuration
Today, cyber-risk "isn't just about security and incidents — it's also about resiliency," said Anderson. In fact, at the 2017 CyberCrime Symposium where he gave a presentation on digital disruption, he declared that "cyber-resilience is huge." At that time, his team had already made significant progress in its resiliency efforts, having just completed a project that lets them run multiple hot sites simultaneously, and move critical applications and workloads around the country as needed.
Since then, the group has continued to improve its on-premise resiliency, as well as defining ways they can leverage the cloud to handle some of that load.
The Fed is already leveraging the cloud on a number of other fronts. They're using SaaS for hundreds of non-critical applications, and are migrating to a cloud-based ERP platform, freeing themselves from 45 customized applications while enjoying the agility, analytics, and automation of the cloud.
But such advances weren't conflict-free. When cloud adoption accelerated, big CSPs — AWS, Azure, Google — entered the market, kicking-off consolidation. As platforms and services matured, they suffered the usual growing pains. In this case, those included some high-profile outages.
"When outages occur, management inevitably points to them as proof that the cloud can't be possibly be secure or resilient," said Anderson. In most cases, though, these outages resulted from users making configuration errors.
To securely leverage its capabilities, organizations need people with the configuration skills to avoid such mistakes, as they're as much of a threat to cybersecurity and resilience as cyber-attacks. They also need to recognize that the cloud, while offering resiliency options, can introduce new risks, said Anderson.
Roads to Resilience
For on-premise resiliency, the Fed security group had to consider three fully redundant data centers, spread across the country, multiple servers, and some 6,000 applications.
A couple of years ago, they identified their 50 most-critical applications, prioritized them, and assessed their vulnerability exposure. In deciding which apps would benefit from their real-time failover and data synchronization technologies, they quickly abandoned the idea of including the vast portfolio.
"It's very expensive and difficult to manage, so only 10 or so applications have real-time failover," said Anderson. These are the applications that process trillions of dollars in transactions every day. For less-critical applications, the fail-over time is typically a few seconds, according to Anderson.
On-premise resiliency typically covers:
Multiple data centers
Multiple servers/instances
Real-time and standard site/server failover
Real-time and standard server-to-server/site-to-site replication
Traditional real-time failover solutions have lots of capabilities, said Anderson, but "you end up spending a lot of money while only leveraging some of their functionality and features."
Meanwhile, Anderson said, cloud providers offer them essentially the same real-time failover and replication capabilities, but generally at a lower cost. Further, AWS and Azure, for instance, offer distinct availability zones, so even if they're in the same physical location, each has its own power, cooling, and connectivity, said Anderson.
But the cloud's not without its own resiliency downsides. Many CSPs offer failover and replication, but they're implemented for the specific customer and priced accordingly. Further, their availability services aren't offered in all data center zones.
When developing a resiliency strategy, it's critical that organizations considering cloud options understand who they're working with, what they're running, and who's responsible for securing what.
Anderson cited an organization that moved their entire data center to an IaaS provider wholesale, without any strategy, much less planning. "They had taken their data center — their entire business operation — and moved it out to the cloud, not realizing that they still had to maintain licenses, patch servers and middleware, and monitor everything," he said.
The message: Don't be that company. In addition to practicing all the basic security controls they ignored, provide employees with security-awareness training, regularly test their cyber-savvy through phishing and other exercises, and reward them for good security hygiene.
Sky-High Security
It's a slap in the face to IT veterans managing locked-down data centers, but they just can't compete with CSPs on the security front. "Security in the cloud is a lot stronger than on-premise security," said Anderson.
Further, AWS, Azure, and Google enjoy enormous economies of scale, which lowers the entry barriers for companies of any size. And if that's not enough, their size translates to rapid innovation, services with cool functionality, and frequently updated feature sets.
This is the fourth in our series of posts presenting key takeaways from our 2019 CyberCrime Symposium, held Oct. 17-18. The program — Cloud Security — featured an incredible line-up of speakers.

The Tyler Cybersecurity Lifecycle
Cybersecurity isn't a destination.
There is no single, straight path that will get you to the point where you can say, "We did it! We're 100% cyber-secure."
A more realistic destination is cyber resiliency – the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions, so you can withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Achieving cyber resilience depends on what we like to call the cybersecurity lifecycle – an ongoing cycle of interconnected elements that compliment and reinforce one another.

Man, Troll, Elf and many more races with unique abilities battle for survival.
Peace was once kept between the races by the Order of the Paladins in the service to the King. That was until the chief paladin gave-in to corruption. After summoning Undead armies he destroyed the kingdom. Since the fall of the central government the races of the land have scattered and formed themselves into various factions. The factions trust none but their own and seek to prevent another from ruling over them.
In "Races of War" each player controls a faction and tries to defeat their opponent's faction, thus ensuring their survival for another day. Each faction has a unique array of creatures with varying abilities, spells and attacks.
The players take turns advancing creatures across the board. The pieces all look the same from the back, but have identifying numbers on the front. The identity of the pieces is only revealed when they are involved in an attack or use other abilities or spells. Be the first to locate and capture your opponent's commander and the rest will surrender.


Sometimes students post/upload to the wrong assignment. I would like there to be a way that I can delete their submission, similar to how I can delete a test/quiz submission.
I would love to be able to transfer in an assignment when a student sends it either via message or to the wrong task.
Agreed! Especially as they are first getting used to schoology, there are many wrong files uploaded. Being able on either end to delete these would be a HUGE improvement to this system.
Agreed, or at least send it back to them or transfer it to the correct assignment. The biggest problem for me is the notification that I need to grade a submission that is not a valid submission, plus the student thinks they have submitted to that assignment. They cannot see my comments unless they open the submission. Very few middle school students would do this when they think they have already done the work.
Agree..this kind of drives me nut's how many 'tests' show up in submissions..need to be able to delete these and the user should have the ability to delete their own mistakes as well!
I would to delete student submissions that are in the wrong place.
I just searched for how to do this same thing and there are several threads about this going back over a year! Any updates?
I agree. I teach ninety 8th grade students per marking period and I would love the ability to delete or move assignments that are not in the correct submission place. I even had one of my students try to delete an old assignment that wasn't in the correct spot and he couldn't do it. I end up wasting a lot of time going through assignments that can not be graded.
Please, I need this feature!
Provide ability to delete by both students and teachers or you will loose users.
PLEASE add this. This was extremely easy to do in Google Classroom, and my teachers were even able to see if I unsubmitted, so editing assignments after the deadline was never a concern. If basic tasks like unsubmitting are still missing from this very non-user friendly platform, I hope more schools will switch from schoology to google classroom, rather than making my school's mistake of coming to schoology. Please save my teachers at least some of the headaches involved with learning your platform and make sure that we can fix our mistakes when we accidentally submit an assignment several times. Please also word things better, as it appears that resubmitting does not replace the first submission, but just adds a second document.
I'm another teacher Connor and not on the Schoology team. Good on you for commenting. I agree with your main point - even if it's just teachers who delete. But being able to add cumulative versions is actually helpful. That way in the one tasks students can submit a draft and final, or even different aspects sourced differently eg file from computer, video from phone etc. If a student asked me to ignore their first submission I'd have no problem.
@Conner Hetman - Thank you for providing feedback as a Student using Schoology! We love to hear from you, keep it coming!
@Mr. Maas - Thanks for providing your view as an Instructor using submissions. Very happy that revisions are useful in this case.
@Everyone - Keep the support for this feature coming, and keep an eye on our Product Roadmap for updates on new Features!
Thank you for the response. I too agree with Mr. Maas that the revision feature could be very handy when you want to see changes, but I just wanted to put it out there that for schools where both teachers and students are still learning the platform, it can be very confusing when you want to fix something. I was trying to look at an attachment before posting it to make sure it was formatted correctly, and I accidentally submitted it. I unfortunately had some errors to fix still, and I was hoping that I could get rid of the first submission. One thing that could be a good solution is to make resubmitting like saving a file to your computer, where if you try to save two files with the same name, it asks you if you would like to keep the old document and rename the new one or replace the old file. Hopefully, my teachers and I will learn the many features in this platform soon, and small mistakes will no longer cause big problems. Thank you for your help.
EXCELLENT feedback! Thanks again for your perspective, it is VERY valuable to us.
If you are submitting via the Create tab in an assignment, I wanted to make sure you are aware that you can use Save Draft to store the current state of a submission and return to it later, all without submitting the assignment. One more little tool that may help you in the future!
When you return to the assignment, you'll see Edit Draft instead of Submit or Re-Submit Assignment.
I like your idea of making resubmitting like saving a file to your computer. That makes sense to me!
This feature has lots of support so, I'm hopeful that our team will seriously consider it as a feature in the future.
Thank you very much. That is how I should do things in the future. My problems came from not knowing how to upload a google doc. I converted it to a word doc and messed some things up while trying to check the formatting. I am glad I could help, and hopefully this will be a feature sometime soon!
I need a way to remove/delete student assignments once they are submitted. I had a class of students complete an assignment that they weren't ready to complete. I know they can submit a second submission but I want to get rid of the first one.
Can you please add a delete submission if students accidentally submitted an assignment to the worn place. I would really appreciate it. I am begging you.
So, I see all kinds of great things in the Product Roadmap. AMP improvements, peer review, student choice activities, etc. - but nothing on this request. Is this a less important feature request than these others? As a former software engineer, I'd be surprised that adding a delete feature for submissions would be trickier or more resource-consuming than scanning printed assessments. I love Schoology and hate to post something with this negative tone, but enough already - my firstborn for a delete submission button!

Land Cruiser 70's Demand Prompts Toyota to Pause Orders
By Polly Rosie - August 25, 2022
The automobile giant Toyota has had to pause production of the ancient Land Cruiser 70, because it is unable to meet the ever-growing demands for the 38-year-old model. As a result, the company decided to postpone orders of the vehicles so that it could focus on making sure it meets current demands and go ahead with the paid orders before taking on more orders.
The Car
The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series has seen a recent surge in popularity, leading the company to pause orders for the vehicle. The old SUV, which first debuted in 1984, has been enjoying a renaissance in recent years. Thanks to its rugged design and reputation for reliability, the Land Cruiser 70 has become a sought-after vehicle for both off-road enthusiasts and city dwellers. Despite its age, the Land Cruiser 70 is still a capable vehicle that can handle just about anything you throw at it. The J70 is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 diesel engine generating 202 horsepower (151 kilowatts) and 317 pound-feet (430 Newton-meters) of torque. The power is channeled to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. It's a reliable engine that is relatively simple and durable, although its fuel efficiency is not very good.
The Complications
CarExpert first reported that Toyota planned to temporarily pause the production of the Land Cruiser 70 due to an unforeseen constraint in available supply to satisfy global automotive industry demand. The Japan-based car company, Toyota, announced this April that the 70-series Land Cruiser would be modified to meet Australia's stricter side-impact crash regulations. According to a company representative, the demand for the model remains at an all-time high in Australia. The 70-series was initially scheduled to go on sale in November this year. However, production has been paused, and it is unclear what the impact will be on the updated 70-series Land Cruiser.

Paul Gagner: A Beginner's Guide to Home Lobotomy December 12, 2015 through February 6, 2016 Open Reception: Saturday December 12, 2015 7pm-10pm Closing Reception and Discussion: February 6, 2016 2pm-4pm Guest Spot @ The REINSTITUTE is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Beginner's Guide to Home Lobotomy, by Brooklyn-based artist Paul Gagner. The exhibition will open on Saturday, December 12, 2015 and will be on view through Saturday February 6, 2016. The Opening Reception will take place on Saturday, December 12, 2015 from 7pm-10pm. The opening will coincide with Guest Spot's holiday celebration, with a special evening of cocktails and light fare. The exhibition will also feature the re-release of an interview between Dr. Howard Moseley, M.D. and Paul Gagner that originally appeared in The New Yorker, with forward written by Paul D'Agostino. Modernism, the great purveyor of abstraction, has been the leading benefactor of framing the context around representationalism as a mere arbitrary system. Paul Gagner's paintings illustrate the tension between the modern impetus to abstraction and the resistance to direct representation, while addressing the systematic approach of authoritative critique. The artist's psyche is culled from many directions, usually resulting in a path in tandem with either school: representation or abstraction. Gagner's ability to work between these distinct contradictions is a sign that the justifying rhetoric of modern intentions may have more to do with an authoritative bias against representationalism rather than relational analytics of the works themselves. Paul Gagner's exhibition, A Beginner's Guide to Home Lobotomy, encapsulates the sublime relationship between art and suffering through a whimsical narrative that outlines a fate that is all too common for artists: the self-fulfilling prophecy. The neurotic persona attributed to artists is revealed through Gagner's disposition towards his personal estranged relationship with abstraction, which he demonstrates through a psychoanalytic perspective. Like most artistic personas, heroism has been attributed to some sort of societal ill or conflict. Gagner's Dr. Howard Moseley, M.D. book cover paintings reflect the self-help franchise that foreshadowed the rapid decline of the middle class. The series of works serves as satiric analysis for vetting artists and their societal neuroses. While, Gagner's relationship with Dr. Moseley can be compared to necromancy, their co-dependency is intertwined beyond an earthly bond, brought together by irony and lunacy. The relationship between art and self-affliction are historic wounds that are expressed in paint, the magnificent forms resemble the weight of seriousness that percolates behind abstraction today. Just as irony and satire run through the veins of the human condition, an authoritative bias clogs the arteries. Paul Gagner was born in 1976 in rural Wisconsin. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2005, and his MFA from Brooklyn College in 2009. He has exhibited throughout the US including the Sheila & Richard Riggs Leidy Galleries at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Housatonic Museum of Art and the Richmond Center for Visual Arts. In 2009, Gagner has four collages included in the Museum of Modern Art's print collection. Paul Gagner lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. GUEST SPOT @ THE REINSTITUTE , 1715 N. Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21202, is open Wednesdays 5 - 7pm and Saturdays 1- 4pm. For Press inquiries please contact info@guestspot.org .
The Devil in the Details, works by Jason Hughes May 30, 2015 through July 11, 2015 Opening Reception: Saturday May 30, 2015 7pm-10pm Hours: Saturdays 1-4pm & Wednesday 5-7pm or by appointment Jason Hughes is an interdisciplinary artist with an emphasis on sculpture, drawing, and print media. For the last several years his research has focused on the history of American economic power and its influence over cultural representation in the United States. His creative practice is quite diverse including textiles, collages, and cast sculptures from shredded currency; a series of large scale prints that are ornate abstract composites of money; and sculptural objects from appropriated street barricades used for crowd control. His work addresses issues of high and low craft, production and trade, as well as shifts in representation and the perception of value. Jason Hughes is an artist and curator based in Baltimore, MD. He received his BFA in sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2004 and attended the acclaimed AICAD New York Studio Program during the fall of 2003. He is currently a MFA candidate in the Intermedia and Digital Art program at UMBC. Hughes has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally since 2005. In 2014, his work was selected for an exhibition at Marianne Boskey Gallery curated by Mera Rubell as well as the exhibition Washington Color Abstraction at the Gabarron Foundation Carriage House Center for the Arts curated by Donald Kuspit. His artwork has been featured in the New York Times, New American Paintings, and Art in America.

Rob De Oude Solo Exhibition of New Works / Proximities Guest Spot at THE REINSTITUTE is proud to present Proximities, a solo exhibition of new works by Rob de Oude. In the Project Space, Alex Paik's Paper Constructs will be on display. Both exhibits will open Saturday May 3, 2014 with the artists in attendance from 7pm to 10pm. The works will be on view through June 21, 2014. Rob de Oude / Proximities The functions of the healthy eye are predictable, reliable and efficient. Some postulate it to be the sense via which we gather upwards of 90% of our data about the world – meaning that its consistent performance is the principle criteria for our plans and decisions, from the most trivial right up matters of life and death. For all its nearly mechanical precision, however, the world presents certain phenomena that it simply cannot process without difficulty, disorientation and error. The moiré pattern is a prime example of such an exception – a notorious historical bugbear for textile designers, photographers, commercial printers, and computer programmers. When two or more patterns of similar constitution are laid over one another slightly off register, it creates a dilemma that the otherwise indefatigable eye can't process. The result is a kind of displeasure that some characterize as pain. This particular exception to the otherwise routine rules of visual perception is the space in which Rob de Oude's current work thrives. Pain, however metaphorical, would seem to be a dicey place for an artist to begin. Unless one is either a sado-masochist or straining to make a socio-political statement, it can be safely assumed that aesthetic or intellectual pleasure is the natural objective for such a project. But pain, harnessed and edited by an eye and hand that's astute, constitutes a kind of visual pleasure of the most unexpected and thrilling kind – tantamount to the type of pleasure one might experience on an especially tall roller-coaster, or at a genuinely scary horror film, or while eating an impossibly hot pepper. De Oude manages to turn pain into a kind of manic exuberance – his pictures are aesthetically and emotionally challenging, but at the same time infectious, urgent, and slyly witty. The question, then, is how does de Oude affect this pain-as-pleasure conversion? The answer might be found in Ernst Gombrich's The Sense of Order, in which the author suggests that the key to the enduring and cross-cultural appeal of pattern in art and design resides in the make-up of the mind itself. The human brain, Gombrich says, is built to solve problems – at root, the problems associated with survival. When the brain is at rest, this urge doesn't subside, which provides a reliable explanation for the appeal of crossword puzzles and other concentration- driven activities that would upon first analysis seem at odds with the concept of leisure time. Pattern too easily understood, like a checkerboard, soon results in boredom. Chaos, while momentarily compelling, doesn't present the active brain with a soluble problem, which in the end has the same result: boredom. Like the great arabesques of the best Islamic pattern designers, de Oude's pictures present the viewer with something intuitively understandable as a repeating system, but the system refuses to give up its secret as to exactly what the repeating unit is, and where it begins and ends. The variety that de Oude routinely achieves in his fields means that even smaller scale pictures can be explored and revisited again and again, each time yielding new visual pleasures. De Oude's means are deceptively simple. Two, and occasionally three colors are arranged in sets of stripes of equal width and spacing. At least one set runs parallel to two of the picture's framing edges, and subsequent groups are overlaid slightly off of the horizontal or vertical axis. The number of sets of stripes involves minimal planning – each one is a response to the previous group. De Oude proceeds in this way until he determines the picture is finished, which is a decision that is purely intuitive and aesthetically derived. Some paintings take shape in a relatively smaller number of passes, others are more densely layered and create surprising "artifacts" – the term used for the odd, unaccountable hiccups that begin to turn up in a heavily edited Photoshop file. When the color groupings have strong value contrast, the resulting grid crackles with aggressive energy ("pain"). Closer-valued color groupings result in a more atmospheric space – the effect is chromatically lush and painterly even though the execution is hard-edged. The spatial organization created by these overlapping groups of stripes is unitary, but also filled with incident. The all-overness suggests Pollock, but the individual events that occur within de Oude's matrix are quite different than Pollock's loops and skeins. De Oude's web organizes itself into smaller pattern groupings that momentarily repeat, but ultimately break down only to form new groups that set off the same false alarm. The sub-groups often seem to be melting in and out of one another, like a fade from one scene in a film to another. These phenomena are pointedly exemplified in the impressive and always shifting Proximities and Parameters from 2014: The overarching grid forms small clusters of squares (more accurately described as parallelograms) which organize themselves into four-unit groups, then nine, and occasionally into extended horizontal configurations, and, on the right side, into long verticals scrolls. The logic is relentless, and yet the picture is filled with surprise. De Oude's fellow Dutchman Willem de Kooning once commented that the true subject of abstract painting is space. I've always thought this quote was a simple and wonderful antidote to the idea that abstract painting was "painting-about-nothing," and saved one from having to rhetorically draw the contentious and subtle distinction between content and subject matter. De Oude's pictures are above all else a paean to pictorial space. His space evinces a certain tradition in painting – from Cezanne through Cubism to Pollock – but also embraces more than a century's worth of technology, from early half-tone printing through to the ubiquitous screens of present-day computers and handheld devices. Most interestingly, the paintings report back about the instances when all of these technologies, old and new, are not functioning exactly as planned. This report isn't offered as a dire critique, however – quite the opposite, it shows the extent to which visual pleasure can be found in the most unlikely places. De Oude finds a quirky kind of beauty in particular corners of the dominant landscape of the 21st have always admired and painted the landscape of their own eras. The principal and compelling difference in de Oude's landscapes, however, is that they have essentially nothing to do with nature. Paul Corio March, 2014 Rob de Oude has been educated in painting, sculpture and art history at the Hoge School voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam and SUNY Purchase, NY. De Oude has shown recently in the US, Europe and Asia, notably at: Galerie Gourvennec Ogor in Marseille, FR, Storefront Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY, McKenzie Fine Arts in New York, NY and BRIC Rotunda in Brooklyn, NY. He has participated in several art fairs in New York, Miami and Paris and has been featured a.o. in the NY Post, L Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, Artnet Magazine, NYArts Magazine, The New Criterion, Capital New York, Bushwick Daily, The James Kalm Report and Brooklyn Magazine. As a founding member, de Oude is currently co-director of Parallel Art Space in Queens, NY. He lives and paints in subsequently Brooklyn and Queens, NY.


Delivers the full Ruby platform. As a multi-tenant platform and hosting environment, Heroku keeps it simple and hides the complexity of servers, infrastructure, slices and clusters from users. Application code dynamically scales using a technology called the Dyno Grid. Using compiled slugs, a self-contained and read only version of code, Heroku addresses scalability and high availability for developers in a contained and self-managed system..
Point of View (POV): Next generation apps developers seek the simplicity of not having to manage servers and installs. PaaS options accelerate time to market for new solution. Cloud2 will require ultra fast elasticity and Heroku has proven this model out.
Serves the hot mobile and social apps market. With over 105,000 mobile and social cloud applications built on Heroku, Salesforce.com intends to provide the leading platform for next gen apps development. Heroku delivers the backbone behind many of the new consumer tech innovations.
POV: Future apps development and developers align more with the commercial world. Salesforce.com's acquisition thrusts the cloud vendor into a new world of mobile and social apps. If successful, Salesforce.com will attract the next generation of developers.
Aligns with the database.com acquisition. Heroku's pricing model is based on dynos, a single web process running code and responding to http requests. The more dynos used the more concurrency achieved. As users consume code, they increase database usage through a portfolio of options (see Figure 1.).
POV: database.com can fit neatly into the PaaS stack for Heroku users. The pricing model could prove complimentary for database.com and other Salesforce.com users.

I feel like this fits.
I have no idea why, but this song popped up in my head when I saw your avi.
There will be no one to stop Trixsie this time!
This one for you Brisky, I hope you find it fitting, even if you're not technically a tiger.

Hastings United manager Chris Agutter praised Davide Rodari as 'a great role model' to everyone at the football club after the young forward scored on his return from a major injury.
Rodari was Hastings' leading scorer last season, but underwent surgery in the summer on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
All the hard rehabilitation work was rewarded with the opening goal in Hastings' 2-0 win away to VCD Athletic on Saturday - just 14 minutes after coming on as a substitute.

Agutter said: "Unbelievable, you couldn't write it really. Only sport seems to throw up those sort of stories.
"He deserves it. He works so hard and he's such a great role model to everyone at the club. Originally it was said he was going to be out for 15 months so for him to be back playing and scoring an important goal after seven months is remarkable.
"From a human side of it, he's had a really difficult time. He was on the verge of signing for Millwall when he got injured and that all fell through as a result. For him to make the comeback he has, irrelevant really of Hastings United and winning the game, I'm really pleased for him.
"I was very happy for him, as were all the lads. Davide's a good person and everyone's seen what he's been through.
"When he came on I thought he was the best player on the pitch. He was excellent and he's a different type of forward to what we've got. He's more of a traditional, old-fashioned sort of forward and it was an instinctive finish which Davide is capable of."
Rodari and fellow forwards Daniel Ajakaiye and Jordy Mongoy were all on the pitch together in the latter part of the match, and all three were involved in the second goal.
"We finished the game with three up-front and it was a forward line that had a bit of everything," added Agutter. "They complimented each other brilliantly.
"I think it is possible to play all three of them. Some of our attacking play in the last 15, 20 minutes was excellent, some of the best we've seen. And if any of them get a chance, they will take it."

Sussex football hotshots: Who are the county's top scorers this season?


Technology is forever advancing, evolving and moving forward whether it be for the betterment of humanity or just for entertainment purposes but now it is such a part of our everyday lives that it would be extremely hard to imagine going backward, but sometimes this constant progress needs big investment and large-scale projects to be undertaken for it to make any serious impact. Sometimes these take the form of studies or product testing, but around the world, much larger scale happenings are underway.
In some part of the globe, whole cities are being built in order to further, test or expand on technology and technological use and here we are going to look at a few of those projects and ask what they're about and how they are going to achieve their aims.
China has ambitious plans to lead the world in technology and they've recently showcased this by developing a government-backed initiative for a 'VR Town' in the mid-Western area of Guangzhou with the idea that this will become a place where 50+ companies with the capability of producing 1.5 million pieces of virtual reality-related hardware equipment every year will call home. As such it would then have an annual revenue of 1 billion yuan ($145,490 million), contribute 80 million yuan ($11.6 million) in fiscal taxes, and create 3,500 new jobs.
Despite being a relatively new technology, it is seen by the Chinese state as a 'future proof' technology as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Sony are all pouring billions of dollars into investment, research and development of Virtual Reality products with more and more hitting global markets and becoming increasingly cheap and accessible. China is one of the few countries currently backing the technology at a state level and is hoping for a major boost to their tech sector through such initiatives with the area already having hosted a Virtual Reality Summit that included representatives from HTC, Facebook, Peking University, and Beijing's Beihang University.
The first phase of this VR town is already completed with the Weiai Education Pavilion, an industrial planning center, a VR application center, and a tourism VR center featuring a farming experience already having been opened. This all becomes part of Beidouwan Bay VR Town where industry planning and exhibitions, scientific education and promotion, field trip and experiences, innovation and entrepreneurship, and a platform for trading and showcases will become integrated parts of the town.

Q: Pause matplotlib custom animation loop without polling I have an animation that I can play and pause as desired. As shown in the code below, my method for pausing the animation is to intermittently poll the paused global state variable.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.widgets import Button
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import proj3d

paused = False

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

ax.set_ylim(-100, 100)
ax.set_xlim(-10, 10)
ax.set_zlim(-100, 100)

plt.ion()
plt.show()

def pause_anim(event):
    global paused
    paused = not paused

pause_ax = fig.add_axes((0.7, 0.03, 0.1, 0.04))
pause_button = Button(pause_ax, 'pause', hovercolor='0.975')
pause_button.on_clicked(pause_anim)

x = np.arange(-50, 51)

line = ax.plot([], [], [], c="r")[0]

for y in np.arange(1, 30, 3):
    z = - x**2 + y - 100

    line.set_data(x, 0)
    line.set_3d_properties(z)

    plt.draw()
    plt.pause(0.2)

    while paused:
        plt.pause(0.5)

Is there some way to pause the animation without polling and instead use some sort of interrupt driven method?
