50 hadith found in 'Witnesses' of Sahih Bukhari.
(826) Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."
(827) Narrated Uqba bin Al-Harith: That he had married Um Yahya bint Abu Ihab. He said. "A black slave-lady came and said, 'I suckled you both.' I then mentioned that to the Prophet who turned his face aside." Uqba further said, "I went to the other side and told the Prophet about it. He said, 'How can you (keep her as your wife) when the lady has said that she suckled both of you (i.e. you and your wife?)" So, the Prophet ordered him to divorce her.
(828) Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith: I married a woman and later on a woman came and said, "I suckled you both." So, I went to the Prophet (to ask him about it). He said, "How can you (keep her as a wife) when it has been said (that you were foster brother and sister)? Leave (divorce) her.
(829) Narrated Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) "Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go on a journey, he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take with him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his, he drew lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me, and I proceeded with him after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried in a Howdah (on the camel) and dismounted while still in it. When Allah's Apostle was through with his Ghazwa and returned home, and we approached the city of Medina, Allah's Apostle ordered us to proceed at night. When the order of setting off was given, I walked till I was past the army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I returned (to the camp) to depart (with the others) and suddenly realized that my necklace over my chest was missing. So, I returned to look for it and was delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on the camel, came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel, thinking that I was in it, as, at that time, women were light in weight, and thin and lean, and did not use to eat much. So, those people did not feel the difference in the heaviness of the Howdah while lifting it, and they put it over the camel. At that time I was a young lady. They set the camel moving and proceeded on. I found my necklace after the army had gone, and came to their camp to find nobody. So, I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would discover my absence and come back in my search. While in that state, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Mu'attal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army and reached my abode in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person, he came to me, and he used to see me before veiling. So, I got up when I heard him saying, "Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun (We are for Allah, and we will return to Him)." He made his camel knell down. He got down from his camel, and put his leg on the front legs of the camel and then I rode and sat over it. Safwan set out walking, leading the camel by the rope till we reached the army who had halted to take rest at midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell into destruction, (some people accused me falsely) and the leader of the false accusers was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After that we returned to Medina, and I became ill for one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the false accusers. I was feeling during my ailment as if I were not receiving the usual kindness from the Prophet which I used to receive from him when I got sick. But he would come, greet and say, 'How is that (girl)?' I did not know anything of what was going on till I recovered from my ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used to answer the call of nature, and we used not to go to answer the call of nature except from night to night and that was before we had lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habit of the old 'Arabs in the open country (or away from houses). So. I and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled because of her long dress and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a man who took part in (the battle of) Badr?' She said, 'O Hanata (you there) didn't you hear what they said?' Then she told me the rumors of the false accusers. My sickness was aggravated, and when I returned home, Allah's Apostle came to me, and after greeting he said, 'How is that (girl)?' I requested him to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be sure of the news through them I Allah's Apostle allowed me, and I went to my parents and asked my mother, 'What are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry much about this matter. By Allah, never is there a charming woman loved by her husband who has other wives, but the women would forge false news about her.' I said, 'Glorified be Allah! Are the people really taking of this matter?' That night I kept on weeping and could not sleep till morning. In the morning Allah's Apostle called Ali bin Abu Talib and Usama bin Zaid when he saw the Divine Inspiration delayed, to consul them about divorcing his wife (i.e. 'Aisha). Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of the good reputation of his wives and added, 'O Allah's Apostle! Keep you wife, for, by Allah, we know nothing about her but good.' 'Ali bin Abu Talib said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah has no imposed restrictions on you, and there are many women other than she, yet you may ask the woman-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Allah's Apostle called Buraira and said, 'O Burair. Did you ever see anything which roused your suspicions about her?' Buraira said, 'No, by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth, I have never seen in her anything faulty except that she is a girl of immature age, who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough for the goats to eat.' On that day Allah's Apostle ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in punishing 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will support me to punish that person ('Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) who has hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By Allah, I know nothing about my family but good, and they have accused a person about whom I know nothing except good, and he never entered my house except in my company.' Sad bin Mu'adh got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! by Allah, I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the Aus, then we will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers, the Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that Sad bin 'Ubada, the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident, he had been a pious man, got up, motivated by his zeal for his tribe and said, 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you cannot kill him, and you will never be able to kill him.' On that Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up and said (to Sad bin 'Ubada), 'By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah, we will kill him; and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites.' On this the two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to fight each other, while Allah's Apostle was standing on the pulpit. He got down and quietened them till they became silent and he kept quiet. On that day I kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two nights and a day, till I thought my liver would burst from weeping. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked my permission to enter, and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Allah's Apostle came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they forged the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him for a month. He recited Tashah-hud (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said, 'O 'Aisha! I have been informed such-and-such about you; if you are innocent, then Allah will soon reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you, for when a person confesses his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.' When Allah's Apostle finished his speech my tears ceased completely and there remained not even a single drop of it. I requested my father to reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf. My father said, By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle.' I said to my mother, 'Talk to Allah's Apostle on my behalf.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle. I was a young girl and did not have much knowledge of the Quran. I said. 'I know, by Allah, that you have listened to what people are saying and that has been planted in your minds and you have taken it as a truth. Now, if I told you that I am innocent and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would not believe me and if I confessed to you falsely that I am guilty, and Allah knows that I am innocent you would believe me. By Allah, I don't compare my situation with you except to the situation of Joseph's father (i.e. Jacob) who said, 'So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which you assert and it is Allah (Alone) whose help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side of my bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah I never thought that Allah would reveal Divine Inspiration in my case, as I considered myself too inferior to be talked of in the Holy Qur'an. I had hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not got up and nobody had left the house before the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Apostle. So, there overtook him the same state which used to overtake him, (when he used to have, on being inspired divinely). He was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When that state of Allah's Apostle was over, he was smiling and the first word he said, 'Aisha! Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your innocence.' My mother told me to go to Allah's Apostle . I replied, 'By Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah.' So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you . . ." (24.11) When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence, Abu Bakr, who used to provide for Mistah bin Uthatha for he was his relative, said, 'By Allah, I will never provide Mistah with anything because of what he said about Aisha.' But Allah later revealed: -- "And let not those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to help their kinsmen, those in need and those who left their homes in Allah's Cause. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." (24.22) After that Abu Bakr said, 'Yes ! By Allah! I like that Allah should forgive me,' and resumed helping Mistah whom he used to help before. Allah's Apostle also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. the Prophet's wife about me saying, 'What do you know and what did you see?' She replied, 'O Allah's Apostle! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I have not heard or seen. By Allah, I know nothing except goodness about Aisha." Aisha further added "Zainab was competing with me (in her beauty and the Prophet's love), yet Allah protected her (from being malicious), for she had piety."
(830) Narrated Abu Bakra: A man praised another man in front of the Prophet . The Prophet said to him, "Woe to you, you have cut off your companion's neck, you have cut off your companion's neck," repeating it several times and then added, "Whoever amongst you has to praise his brother should say, 'I think that he is so and so, and Allah knows exactly the truth, and I do not confirm anybody's good conduct before Allah, but I think him so and so,' if he really knows what he says about him."
(831) Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari: The Prophet heard someone praising another and exaggerating in his praise. The Prophet said, "You have ruined or cut the man's back (by praising him so much).
(832) Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle called me to present myself in front of him or the eve of the battle of Uhud, while I was fourteen years of age at that time, and he did not allow me to take part in that battle, but he called me in front of him on the eve of the battle of the Trench when I was fifteen years old, and he allowed me (to join the battle)." Nafi' said, "I went to 'Umar bin 'Abdul Aziz who was Caliph at that time and related the above narration to him, He said, "This age (fifteen) is the limit between childhood and manhood," and wrote to his governors to give salaries to those who reached the age of fifteen.
(833) Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Bath on Friday is compulsory for those who have attained the age of puberty."
(834) Narrated Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody takes a false oath in order to get the property of a Muslim (unjustly) by that oath, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him." Al-Ash'ath informed me, "By Allah! This was said regarding me. There was a dispute about a piece of land between me and a man from the Jews who denied my right. I took him to the Prophet. Allah's Apostle asked me, 'Do you have an evidence?' I replied in the negative. He said to the Jew, 'Take an oath.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He will surely take an oath and take my property unjustly." So, Allah revealed: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths . . . " (3.77)
(835) Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika: Ibn 'Abbas wrote that the Prophet gave his verdict on the basis of the defendant's oath.

A 26 km long 4-lane motorway, the M51, is being built to link Kliplev and Sønderborg in southern Jutland, around 15 km away from the border between Denmark and Germany.
This PPP project also involves the building of 72 bridges and crossings – 11 overbridges, 30 underbridges and 31 smaller culverts. Only Doka formwork is being used for all the concreting works – e.g. 9000 m² of the extremely adaptable Large-area formwork Top 50, and more than 4750 basic frames of the heavy-duty Load-bearing tower Staxo 100 system.
PPP project lowers lifecycle costs by over 40 %
Unlike with a conventional tender, in a PPP project such as this one (Denmark's first ever in connection with a road-building project), a larger share of the project responsibility and risk is placed on the private partner, in this case Kliplev Motorway Group A/S. The operator is responsible not only for building the project but also for planning, operating and financing it. This approach aims to encourage the private company to think in terms of optimised overall economic efficiency, as it is then in this company's interest to consider the entire lifecycle of the project.
KMG's partner firms brought their expert knowledge to bear on this project right from the tendering phase, so as to carry out the works with carefully chosen construction technologies and methods that will greatly reduce the project's life-cycle costs not only during the 26-year term of the concession but also for decades thereafter.
This was one reason why most of the bridges are based on a straightforward frame-bridge concept with the aim of obtaining a statically advantageous structural design. Bridges of this type have only a minimum of accoutrements in terms of e.g. joints, bearings and drainage pipes. All in all, the technologies chosen by KMG are expected to lower the life-cycle costs by more than 40 % compared to a typical Danish motorway.
Formwork supplied for 72 bridges
The assignment may sound relatively simple at one level – constructing 72 bridges, 10 of them conventionally reinforced and 11 of them pre-stressed frame constructions – yet the differing geometrical and construction-engineering requirements make careful implementation quite a challenge. On top of this, there are the tight deadlines, which have to be met without fail. This all calls for thorough and conscientious formwork planning that takes account of all boundary conditions.
As early as in the planning phase, the project engineers at the formwork manufacturer's Nuremberg Branch drew up an ingenious formwork and service concept for cost-efficient series production of these CIP concrete bridge structures. Ultimately, Dywidag Bau GmbH Nürnberg awarded the entire formwork contract to Doka. "For us it's important to have just one point of contact for everything to do with formwork, so as to avoid any interfacing problems", stresses Project Superintendent Torben Brokop.
Many structures at once
Around 725 m² of Framed formwork Framax Xlife had to be transported to the site in Denmark for forming the foundations and smaller culverts. At the same time, work began in the Doka Ready-to-Use Service in Germany on assembling over 9000 m² of Large-area formwork Top 50, while Doka Logistics arranged 26 truckloads of Load-bearing tower Staxo 100.
The conventionally reinforced bridge structures are being cast in section lengths of approx. 13 m, with their up to 70 cm thick carriageway decks being shored by the extra-high-capacity Load-bearing tower Staxo 100. The bottom of the inside formwork closes onto a 20 cm high springer which makes it possible to lower the entire inside formwork by 10 cm. Thanks to this generous stripping relief, it takes only 6 men less than 20 hours to winch the whole approx. 350 m² unit into the next section, on sheet-wall profiles that slide inside each other, and set it up there again. This translates into a sensational forming-time of only 0.34 h/m². 4 complete sets of formwork are needed here, totalling 2500 m² in area.
On the pre-stressed structures, the concept provides for the concreting to be carried out in uninterrupted pours. Here again, 4 sets of formwork are being used for this, with a combined area of 6600 m². The deck-slab formwork elements on the M51's biggest bridges are being shored with more than 5700 m³ of Staxo 100. The wing walls, and the cantilevers on the wing walls, are then cast in a further pouring cycle.
The formwork planning took account of the varying dimensions of the structures right from the outset. This has proven to be a huge advantage in the field, as it has reduced the modifications needed to an absolute minimum – a seamless A-Z formwork concept, then, for the very best results. To allow for the varying geometries, several of the up to 5 m high vertically stackable formwork elements are also designed for radii of 3 m. Here in Denmark, Doka 3-SO sheets have been chosen as the form-ply, faced with rough-cut tongue-and-groove boards in the visibly exposed zones and with planed ones on the parapets.
At peak times, there are some 130 professionals working concurrently on 13 of the structures in this project. Over the course of the 16-month construction period, some 28,500 m³ of concrete and 2920 t of reinforcement steel have to be correctly placed.
Always a pathbreaking idea ahead
As a pathbreaking formwork manufacturer, Doka takes an all-encompassing view of the construction sequence. This is why its spectrum of services includes not only the formwork planning and statical calculations but also the basic assembly and subsequent onsite return and dismantling of the rented formwork. With ongoing site service from experienced Doka project engineers and skilled Formwork Instructors, construction firms are given optimum support. "These were the points that were particularly important to us, which is why we awarded the whole formwork contract to Doka", says Project Superintendent Torben Brokop.

Q: What is the best way to do a pd.concat horizontally in pandas, matching on a column? Example:
Df1: ID, Variable_1, Variable_2
Df2: ID, Variable_1a, Variable_2a

I want the resulting Df to be matched on ID values (which are identical), and have the following format:
Df3: ID, Variable_1, Variable_2, Variable_1a, Variable_2a

I tried: Df3 = pd.concat([Df1, Df2], axis=1, join='outer'), but it does not produce the desired result.

A: How about Df1.merge(Df2, on="ID", how="outer")? Here's a toy example:
import pandas as pd

df1 = pd.DataFrame([[1, "varA", "varB"], [2, "varX", "varY"], [3, "varC", "varD"]], columns=["ID", "Variable_1", "Variable_2"])
df2 = pd.DataFrame([[1, "varA_a", "varB_a"], [2, "varX_a", "varY_a"]], columns=["ID", "Variable_1a", "Variable_2a"])

print(df1)
print()
print(df2)
print()
merged = df1.merge(df2, on="ID", how='outer')
print(merged)

it outputs:
   ID Variable_1 Variable_2
0   1       varA       varB
1   2       varX       varY
2   3       varC       varD

   ID Variable_1a Variable_2a
0   1      varA_a      varB_a
1   2      varX_a      varY_a

   ID Variable_1 Variable_2 Variable_1a Variable_2a
0   1       varA       varB      varA_a      varB_a
1   2       varX       varY      varX_a      varY_a
2   3       varC       varD         NaN         NaN

which is what I think you're looking for.

The Republic of Singapore has a democratic system of government, and has both a president and a prime minister. The latter is the head of government, and the president is the chief of state. Power in Singapore's government is divided between the legislature, judiciary, and the executive. The parliament makes laws, while the judiciary interprets them, and the executive implements them.
The general elections of Singapore are held after six years. The presidential elections are held three months after six years have elapsed. For the prime minister's office, the majority leader of parliament becomes the prime minister after parliament is dissolved. Anyone older than 21 years is supposed to vote in the general elections, and voting is compulsory in Singapore. The president is elected for a term of six years while the prime minister term is five years. The president is elected by voters while the majority leader of parliament becomes the prime minister.
The legislative house of Singapore is located in Civic district downtown core within the central area. The Public Works Department designed the building. Construction of the building started in 1955 and ended in 1999. The building was designed with a classical style to blend in with the other buildings around the area. The building features a voting system, media rooms, Information technology centers and an integrated congress system. The building was opened on September 6, 1999, by the prime minister, speaker, and some members of parliament after a ceremonial walk.
Singapore is multiparty city state. Some of the parties active in Singapore politics include the Singapore Democratic Alliance, the Reform Party, the People's Power Party, the Workers' Party, and the People's Action Party among others.

5 Bizarre Cartoon Conspiracy Theories
by JoshSays Leave Comment
TV show conspiracy theories? All that pretty digital ink has spawned a number of Internet colusions that methodically eat away at childhood like tooth decay. While we will certainly survive them as adults what about our children… Through the magic and the machine we know as syndication the particularly horrific ones have the power to screw with our minds. Take for instance the burden of processing the widely acknowledged idea that the Rugrats babies were dead the whole time? Of course, far-fetched theories should always be taken with a grain of salt, but what of the sickening thought of a sad little Chuckie Finster ghost. Support the chaos with comments, and feel free to make up some of your own.
Rugrats Dead Baby Theory
We all know Angelica is a little nutty, but the Rugrats theory takes it to a whole new level. Get this — The Rugrats really were a figment of Angelica's imagination. Chuckie died a long time ago along with this mother; that's why Chaz is a nervous wreck all the time. Tommy was a stillborn; that's why Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for the son who never had a chance to live. The DeVilles had an abortion. Angelica couldn't figure whether it would be a boy or a girl, thus creating the twins. Okay, well that potentially explains why Angelica can speak to both the adults and the babies, but we're still not entirely convinced. What about Susie?!
The Flintstones Post-Apocalyptic Theory
Here is an interesting theory on The Flintstones, which explains the family's Christmas celebrations and modern technology in what we believed to be B.C. Remember, The Flintstones originally aired from 1960 to 1966, at the height of the Cold War. What if a nuclear showdown between the Soviets and Americans was what blew Bedrock to kingdom come? What if the Flintstones are us in the future, clinging to the best of our past as we rebuild? The familiar technology, entertainment and religion are all that remain from the fractured memories of a shattered history that never was.
Powerpuff Girls Multiple Personality Theory
Here's another intense one — The three Girls — Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup — are all fractions of one host personality, whose name is unknown to the audience, but for convenience's sake we will call her Brenda. The cause for the development of Multiple-Personality Disorder in Brenda originates from bullying in early childhood by her older brother, whose actual character is unknown to the audience, but is manifested in Brenda's hallucinations as Mojo Jojo, the Girls' greatest nemesis. Thoughts?
Garfield Hallucination Theory
Here's one that gives me chills — the theory that Jon and Odie don't exist. Garfield is actually dying of starvation and just imagining Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween-themed comic. Garfield woke up in a condemned and abandoned house. He calls out for Odie and Jon, but there is no answer. He then wills the illusion back on himself, and continues his delusions about his 'family'.
Dexter's Lab Theory
How could a kid have a laboratory in his house, you ask? One theory insists that he didn't — it was all in his head. As a socially awkward introvert, Dexter relied heavily on his imagination. His "rivals" were his few friends with similarly huge imaginations, and when they played together, the usual fantastical Dexter's Lab shenanigans would ensue. Dexter's big imagination also explains his bizarre accent.

The systematic review by Mehta et al (2010) addressed the role of chemotherapy in the management of newly diagnosed brain metastases.28 The use of chemotherapy for brain metastases was investigated in four questions, however, only the comparison of chemotherapy plus WBRT vs. WBRT alone was relevant as the other questions included studies of only lung cancer patients.
Five studies met the inclusion criteria for the question chemotherapy plus WBRT vs. WBRT alone: two phase III RCT's, two phase II RCT's and one retrospective cohort study.28 In each RCT, patients were randomised to receive WBRT or WBRT plus carboplatin, chloroethylnitrosoureas or temozolomide.
The systematic review by Ammirati et al (2010) addressed the treatment of patients who develop recurrent/progressive brain metastases after initial therapy.61 The review identified ten studies evaluating the role of chemotherapy in patients with recurrent/progressive metastatic brain disease. Of these, five are prospective single arm phase II studies, and five are case series. The chemotherapy agents assessed include cisplatin, temozolomide, vinorelbine, or fotemustine.
Five studies reported on overall survival, see Table 2 below for results.30-34 Patients with HER2-positive disease who received trastuzumab treatment, experienced longer median survival times compared to HER2-positive patients who did not receive trastuzumab and compared to HER2-negative patients.
Two studies (Park 2009; and Park, Park et al 2009) reported on overall survival for HER2-positive patients only,33,99 (see Table 3 below for results). Both studies found significantly improved survival associated with trastuzumab treatment.
Abbreviations: HER2 - human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.
Three studies reported on the association between trastuzumab treatment and time to diagnosis of brain metastases.30,33,99 Each study found that brain metastases were delayed in HER2-positive patients on trastuzumab compared to HER2-positive patients not taking trastuzumab or HER2-negative patients.
The Dawood 2008 analysis found the median time to diagnosis of brain metastases among the whole cohort was 11.3 months.32 Among HER2-negative patients, time to diagnosis was 8.9 months; 2.1 months for HER2-positive patients who did not receive trastuzumab, and 13.1 months for HER2-positive patients who did receive trastuzumab for first line treatment of first site of metastases.
The HERA trial (Pestalozzi et al 2013) investigated use of trastuzumab compared to observation in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer.29 The incidence of CNS relapse as the first disease-free survival event did not differ between patients (p=0.55), however one year of trastuzumab was significantly associated with reduced incidence of non-CNS relapse (p=<0.0001).
The Cancer Australia systematic review7 identified one study (LANDSCAPE), a single arm phase II study36, which investigated the use of lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with previously untreated brain metastases from HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Exclusion criteria included single brain metastases amenable to surgical resection, previous WBRT or SRS, current radiation therapy or current systemic treatment for breast cancer.
Twenty-two of 45 patients experienced at least one grade 3 or grade 4 adverse event, and 14 (31%) experienced at least one serious adverse event.36 The most commonly reported adverse events were diarrhoea and hand-foot syndrome. Sixteen patients required a reduction to their dose of lapatinib; 11 of which were during the first two cycles of treatment. Twenty-six patients required a dose reduction for capecitabine, most frequently in the second, third or fourth cycles.
Eight studies were identified in the Cancer Australia systematic review7 that examined the use of lapatinib for the treatment of CNS metastases in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients previously treated.
Lin et al conducted two prospective phase II trials of lapatinib in patients with brain metastases from HER2 positive breast cancer, previously treated with trastuzumab and radiotherapy.35,70 In Lin 2009 a subset of patients who progressed on lapatinib went on to receive lapatinib and capecitabine.35 A subsequent randomised phase II trial comparing lapatinib in combination with capecitabine or topotecan was undertaken.69 While these are small studies, they are some of the few high level evidence studies.
Lin 2011 compared lapatinib and capecitabine with lapatinib and topotecan.69 Of the 13 patients treated with lapatinib and capecitabine, five patients experienced a partial response. No objective responses were observed among the nine patients treated with lapatinib and topotecan.
Sutherland 2010 investigated lapatinib and capecitabine and reported on time to progression.101 Median time to progression for the 34 patients with CNS metastases was 22 weeks. Among those previously treated with capecitabine, median time to progression was 17 weeks, compared to 30 weeks for patients who are capecitabine-naïve (p=0.06).
Two studies reported on progression free survival.35,68 On review of 237 patients treated with lapatinib in Lin 2009, the median progression free survival was 2.4 months.35 Among the 50 patients opting to have a lapatinib and capecitabine extension phase of treatment, the median progression free survival was 3.65 months.
Metro 2011 assessed 30 patients for progression free survival from the start of lapatinib and capecitabine.68 The median progression free survival was 5.1 months, with a median brain-progression free survival of 5.6 months.
Three studies reported on adverse events associated with lapatinib.35,69,70 The most commonly reported adverse events include diarrhoea, rash, nausea and vomiting. The most commonly reported adverse events associated with lapatinib and capecitabine were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, diarrhoea and nausea.

Pirate Cinema
by Cory Doctorow
Trent McCauley is sixteen, brilliant, and obsessed with one thing: making movies on his computer by reassembling footage from popular films he downloads from the net. In the dystopian near-future Britain where Trent is growing up, this is more illegal than ever; the punishment for being caught three times is that your entire household's access to the internet is cut off for a year, with no appeal.
Trent's too clever for that too happen. Except it does, and it nearly destroys his family. Shamed and shattered, Trent runs away to London, where he slowly he learns the ways of staying alive on the streets. This brings him in touch with a demimonde of artists and activists who are trying to fight a new bill that will criminalize even more harmless internet creativity, making felons of millions of British citizens at a stroke.
Things look bad. Parliament is in power of a few wealthy media conglomerates. But the powers-that-be haven't entirely reckoned with the power of a gripping movie to change people's minds….
I love Cory Doctorow. Little Brother, his first YA novel, was such a creative story, and I enjoyed it immensely. With this new book, Doctorow again explores a modern dilemma, with it's roots right in our own present. The crack down on copyright, especially within the video/youtube realm has become intense. I'm really interested to read more about this world where creating these very things is illegal. I love these kind of dystopias because it feels so possible for this to become reality.

Royal Street (Review)


For the past few years, we've focussed heavily on strengthening our presence in the North of England and Scotland. The latter half of 2016 saw the remote-working North East team set up home in brand new premises in North Shields – just outside Newcastle upon Tyne. With Manchester branch also being bolstered with new staff and expanding their own operations and offices, we began a Northern Powerhouse initiative to cement our presence in the area, better serving valued customers by working together.
Turn any space into a teamwork space. Built for teams to work seamlessly together wherever they are, it scales and adapts to any space.
As with the original Microsoft Surface Hub, GV Multimedia will be helping define this new market segment with Microsoft.
Surface Hub 2's light, sleek and intelligent design starts to ship in Q2 2019, and GV Multimedia are the partners to ensure you are there from the start.
GV and Hable use Microsoft Surface Hub to help University of Bristol achieve their vision.
The University of Bristol is one of our many education customers who are benefitting from everything that Microsoft Surface Hub has to offer. Our Exeter team recently integrated a number of units into the University as part of their exciting 'New Ways to Work' programme.
University of Bristol's initiative was developed with the aim to assess how technology and flexible spaces can augment their working practices and facilitate a more efficient and inclusive environment.
GV was recently chosen by Microsoft to become an Authorised Device Reseller (ADR) for the Microsoft Surface Hub.

Wow! The New Year transitions with the energy of the Star. What a blessing. On the darkest night of the month, the stars shine their brightest. The new moon is getting ready to grow, along with our hopes and dreams.
The Star brings us grace and helps turn situations around. Out of nowhere a sense of hope and a new positive direction appear. We cannot earn grace; it is just given to us. The star is the vessel in which grace is delivered. It can appear as an opportunity, a mentor, an earthly angel or a new sense of well being.
The star is an extremely auspicious Energy! It helps wash away negative situations and bolsters positive ones. Often times the Star card appears after a stormy or difficult time period, offering hope and optimism for the future. It brings a time of beauty, flowering and joy. The Star can bring a sense of being watched over and of deeper connection to others. Coincidences abound, but everything seems to happen for a reason.
Stars have always been used as guiding lights, helping humans navigate through darkness to safety. You now have this gentle, caring energy entering your life. The clearer your vision of the future, the quicker your wishes will be granted.
Following our own Inner Light will guide us to new and wonderful places. February will be a great time to research, visualize, ponder, discover, and plan. It is important to make space for these things. A retreat is a great way to do this. It is not time to take action. Decisions should be made after the influence of the Hermit leaves. This does not have to be a heavy time period, it can be pleasant! This time period tends to be challenging only if you have been on the run from yourself and have a hard time sitting with yourself. But you can't run forever and the Hermit offers you peace if you search for truth.
In a relationship reading, the Hermit says each person needs to individuate in order to strengthen the union. It is not an ending card.This month you may decide to be alone rather than in an unfulfilling relationship.
It's time to take a risk for your happiness! As nature and animals start to awaken in spring, so does our adventurous spirit. It's time to put the plans you came up with during February's hermiting into action! The Fool lives in the moment, acts on impulse and moves into the future without a guaranteed outcome. There is a spring in her step as she starts out on a new journey. This energy is fabulous for making radical change in your life. It helps you break out of stagnant situations and propel you into a new reality.
The Fool hates the daily grind. Under the Fool's influence mundane reality is a bore and adventure and excitement call. The lure of the road and people and places unknown stir something deep in our soul. The need for freedom and a belief in the universe overpower other needs. Usually these time periods are fun and lighthearted for us, but others may have a hard time understanding our decisions. Their reactions to our seemingly radical actions have little effect on us and so we are perceived as self-centered or being 'foolish'. Oh well, it's no one else's life but our own. It is our journey to start!

A: Problems with your code:
Problem 1: The li:hover should be a:hover (see code below). WHY? You must target the main element you want to hover in order to stop the blinking.
Problem 2: Elements that are inline that require block attributes (i.e. width, padding, height etc.) must have display: inline-block (see code below).
Problem 3: The anchor tags you were targeting did not have padding: .8rem 1rem but the hover selector did. So when your mouse hovered over them it would add padding: .8rem 1rem which caused the shift in position.
The code below is what I changed, everything else in your css did not have a direct effect in relation to your question.

nav .nav-link ul li {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 0 3rem;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    transform: perspective(1px) translateZ(0);

It's True! The Office (US) is Leaving Netflix (US) – But You Have 18 Months to Binge
By MaFt On June 27, 2019 June 27, 2019 In Netflix USA, News	Netflix USA, News 3
The US version of "The Office" has been a staple on Netflix in North America and Canada since records began but it has now been announced that it will be leaving the streaming giant to find a new home on NBC-Universal's upcoming streaming service. The current deal with Netflix expires at the end of 2020 and Universal, who own the show, have been shopping it around. Their sister company NBCU were the highest bidder and will be paying $100m per year for the US streaming rights to the show for 5 years. Netflix reportedly bid $90m so were only just outbid. Note that the deal is only for 'domestic rights' – meaning that the show may still be available on Netflix in other countries.
Remember though, you have over 18 months to watch this before it leaves! In total the series ran for 9 seasons from 2005 to 2013 with a total of 192 episodes. So if you watch 1 episode every day until it leaves Netflix then you can watch the whole series nearly 3 full times. If you're a little more conservative and only want to watch it once then just make sure you watch, on average, 2½ episodes a week.
We're sad that NBC has decided to take The Office back for its own streaming platform — but members can binge watch the show to their hearts' content ad-free on Netflix until January 2021

The top pick in this year's NHL draft, Aaron Ekblad, suffered a concussion Monday night during Canada's world junior summer development camp.
Ekblad is expected to make a full recovery and be ready in time for the Florida Panthers' open training camp in September but will miss the remainder of Canada's camp.
At only 18-years-old, Ekblad was a star for the Barrie Colts in the Ontario Hockey League.
The defenseman is expected to make the Panthers' roster this season.


The iBUYPOWER Trace 9230 is a high-end gaming PC that proves you don't need a wallet that stretches north of two grand to have an impressive rig –in both looks and hardware. While other gaming desktops that are fitted with cutting edge components and menacing design are painfully expensive, iBUYPOWER have a soft spot for value hunters in the new Trace 9200 Series offering. That's not to say the systems are any cheaper or are lacking in the components department, however. Compared with gaming desktops with similar features, the Trace 9200 Series offers real value, and rings far superior components.
With a standard footprint, the Trace 9230 under review is among the company's fastest gaming tower, sporting top-of-the-line components like an eight-core Intel i7-9700k CPU and the latest Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card. Below it is the Trace 9220, featuring the same GPU and a six-core Intel i7-8700 processor; while the Trace 9240 wraps it up with a peppy Intel Core i9-9900K (8-core, 9th generation) the same TRX 2080 (8GB) graphics card. With a reasonable pricing considering what's packed inside, and performance to match, the trio of iBUYPOWER's Trace 9200 Series earn an Editors' Choice for midrange gaming desktops.
Over time, we have seen gaming behemoths with insane LEDs on the chassis, some requiring some real estate to be operated. The Trace 9230 is built into a standard tower case, that doesn't look like a gamer-inspired PC but has lots of style on the sides. It is cut into a black steel frame with a pair of LED fins cutting from the front-straight to the bottom on both sides. Measuring 19.76 by 8.54 by 19.84 inches (HWD) and weighing 30 pounds, this system is designed to stay in one place, either in a corner somewhere or on your desk.
For limited spaces, a small-form-factor (SFF) desktop like the Asus GR8 II-T044Z is an ultimate space-saver. On the left is a tempered glass side panel that gives a peek into neatly organized compartments and components. To kill boredom, the case features an innovative 16 color RGB lighting that can be controlled remotely. Also, there is a liquid cooling compartment and air vents on the opposite panel alongside a bundled iBUYPOWER branded gaming keyboard and mouse.
Like most 2018 desktops, this one doesn't have an optical drive, reasonable considering that you rarely need to play from DVDs, not with almost all PC games being downloadable from digital services like Steam and Origin. All it has are easy-access ports on the top-front panel: two USB 3.1, microphone/microphone combo and a Reset button.
Around the back, there are additional ports: two USB 2.0, two USB 3.1, Ethernet, and audio 7.1 channel. The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card also includes one HDMI 2.0b and two DisplayPort 1.4, alongside a VirtualLink connector, the latest versions of the ubiquitous technologies you'd need to power most G-Sync HDR monitors. To connect to wireless networks, there's 802.11AC Wi-Fi and is Bluetooth ready.
Thanks to a relatively spacious build, there is plenty of room to work inside the case, should you desire to swap out a few components or do some maintenance. You'd be hard-pressed to throw in new parts over what comes pre-installed, however. Here, we're talking of a Core i7-9700K, Intel's unlocked 2018 flagship processor on its 9th Generation mainstream CPU line. The Core i7-9700 chip is part of the main consumer platform, in the same league with the i5-9600K and the high-end i9-9900K, outfitted in the iBUYPOWER Trace 9240 gaming PC.
Released around the same time is the 18 cores and 36 threads Intel Core X-series processor family, billed as the most powerful thing to ever happen to a desktop PC. As we move into the year, all eyes are AMD to counter with peppy Ryzen CPUs but the Core i7-9700K is among the best in the market for multi-threaded applications. At least for now, alongside the Core i9-9900k. It is an eight-core, 16-thread CPU with base clock of 3.6 GHz (4.9 GHz Max Turbo) on an Intel Z370 Express chipset.
The i9-9700K is a component Intel bills to be the best thing to ever happen in gaming, which practically makes it an excellent choice for professional creatives and multi-taskers who find the need to stream content side-by-side with CPU sipping apps. To that, add 16G B DDR4 system memory, a 256GB M.2 solid-state drive (SSD) and an additional 1TB spinning hard drive, while the Trace 9240 wraps up storage with a 1TB SSD and a 1TB spinning hard drive.
For graphics, the Trace 9230 is fitted with the still-hot GeForce RTX 2070 GPU, which is part of Nvidia's Turing-Founders Edition that leverages new technologies to enable real-time ray tracing on modern games and deep learning Tensor cores. In the same family are the GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti for the pro-gamers, making a generational upgrade for gaming cards. While the overclocked GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition almost ties with the GTX 1080 on benchmark tests, the slight hike in price is justified by higher Tensor Core and deep learning.
As far as comparisons to more expensive systems go, gaming still is, a different story, as many pricier desktops boasts two graphics cards. Compared to the rest with just one, though, the Trace 9230 holds its own, again as a less-expensive option. Overall, the RTX 2070 included in this system utilizes the new Nvidia Turing architecture to deliver more cores than existing GPUs.
The GeForce RTX 2070 boasts 2,304 CUDA cores, 8GB memory and 1,620MHz boost clock, significantly higher than GTX 1070's 1,920 CUDA cores and a 1,683-maximum frequency. With that, the new chip gets a 20 percent (or thereabout) jump in performance, hailed by crisp frame rates per second over last year's Pascal GTX 1070 chips.
In the meantime, 288 Tensor Cores now bring artificial intelligence (AI) to consumer graphics cards, and Nvidia intends on using these to effect even better anti-aliasing. For gaming, a combination of a Turing RTX 2070 GPU and Coffee Lake CPU outfitted in the Trace 9230 will deliver excellent frame rates on modern titles including: Shadow of the Tomb Raider (33fps – 4K, 99fps – 1080p); Far Cry Primal (32 fps – 4K, 88fps – 1080p), all in Ultra presets. For a single card GPU, these scores are very impressively and PC gaming can't get any better. Plus, short of the Nvidia RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti, you won't find another more capable graphics card than what you have on this system.
For anyone in the market for a do-it-all gaming desktop that zealously handles productivity tasks like media creation underlain by the latest components out here, the iBUYPOWER Trace 9230 is an excellent buy. It offers impeccable performance for a midrange system that cost almost a third of what a similarly configured mainstream PC would cost, and half what a DIYer would spend to pair up the components used to build this rig. For a clean aesthetic, very reasonable pricing and solid gaming performance, the Trace 9230 is among our Top Picks for midrange gaming desktop PCs.
The iBUYPOWER Trace 9230 belongs to a new crop of cost saving midrange gaming PCs that are powerful enough to handle professional productivity tasks like media creation, but ring very reasonable prices than mainstream competitors bearing the same components.
A capable Intel Core i7-9700K CPU.

Un couvent est un établissement religieux, généralement chrétien, où des clercs mènent une vie religieuse en communauté. Le couvent n'a pas de vocation monastique, il est donc plus ouvert sur le monde que le monastère. Il est généralement situé en ville.

Le terme de couvent est préféré à celui de monastère :
 pour l'ensemble des lieux de vie d'une communauté religieuse non monastique, composée de clercs réguliers ou de religieuses ;
 pour les ordres mendiants, lorsque l'établissement n'a pas de clôture religieuse.

Contrairement à l'abbaye, le couvent n'est pas placé sous la responsabilité d'un abbé ou d'une abbesse, mais d'un(e) supérieur(e).

Le couvent, instrument au service d'une mission
On peut dire que le couvent est apparu en même temps que des ordres religieux « non monastiques » se sont constitués, adoptant des règles plus apostoliques qui ouvrent partiellement la communauté sur la société.

Le couvent a ainsi gardé les grands principes d'organisation du monastère chrétien (l'abbaye principalement), et certains couvents sont des ensembles très proches des abbayes ; ils présentent toutefois une organisation architecturale et sociale spécifique, qui dépend de l'ordre religieux qui les a fondés, et qui doit répondre aux besoins spécifiques des nouvelles communautés.

Les missions assumées par les congrégations qui occupent les couvents peuvent aussi déterminer l'implantation et la conception des bâtiments: ordres prêcheurs, de secours aux pauvres, aux malades, maisons d'éducation… sont autant de variétés de couvents, qui se distinguent nettement des abbayes où la fonction d'accueil est annexe et se trouve confinée en marge de l'établissement (en dehors de la clôture).

Le couvent s'est également adapté à une vie souvent urbaine qui impose de repenser les espaces publics et communautaires, la circulation dans l'emprise des bâtiments, mais apporte également les contraintes spécifiques de parcelles réduites ou irrégulières, de bâtiments existants achetés ou donnés… Certains couvents cependant, jouissant de conditions exceptionnelles ou installés en zone vierge, offrent un modèle pleinement rationnel et souvent admirable d'organisation communautaire.

Les couvents des ordres mendiants
Les ordres mendiants sont apparus au début du  avec la croissance des villes ; ils comprennent notamment les dominicains, les franciscains, les carmélites et les augustins. Alors que les moines bénédictins et leurs diverses variantes se consacrent à leurs propriétés agricoles, les frères mendiants s'installent dès le départ dans les villes, ou dans les faubourgs de celles-ci, de préférence dans les quartiers les plus pauvres et les plus densément peuplés. Ils ont donc dû adapter leurs bâtiments à ces nouvelles contraintes.

Il est impossible de trouver une disposition unique, même si elle a pu être envisagée. Leurs églises, construites pour accueillir de larges foules plutôt que pour les uniques besoins du culte, forment un cas à part, bien différent des plans adoptés par les ordres précédents : ce sont en général de longs parallélogrammes non coupés par des transepts. La nef consiste habituellement en deux corps égaux, l'un contenant les stalles des frères, l'autre entièrement libre d'accès. Le chœur en tant que tel est difficile à situer, tant l'église tout entière ne forme qu'une seule structure ininterrompue, bordée de fenêtres. L'extrémité est généralement de forme rectangulaire, mais l'église des frères de Winchelsea possède une abside polygonale.

Il arrive que l'on trouve un transept unique, parfois de grande taille, quelquefois plus grand que la nef elle-même. Cette disposition est fréquente en Irlande, où les nombreux monastères offrent d'admirables exemples de ces particularités architecturales. Au début, ces églises étaient dépourvues de clocher, mais aux , des tours hautes et minces ont été communément insérées entre la nef et le chœur. Le monastère des frères gris de Lynn, où le clocher est hexagonal, est un bon exemple.

La disposition des bâtiments conventuels est aussi très caractéristique : elle n'a rien à voir avec la régularité des bâtiments des ordres plus anciens. Au  à Paris, le cloître se tient au nord de la longue église étroite de deux allées, alors que le réfectoire, une pièce de très grande taille plutôt détachée du cloître, s'étend dans la zone qui se trouve devant la face ouest de l'église. À Toulouse, la nef possède également deux nefs parallèles, mais le chœur est absidal avec des chapelles rayonnantes. Le réfectoire s'étend du côté nord, juste à l'angle du cloître qui se trouve au nord de l'église, la sacristie et la maison du chapitre se tenant à l'est.

Turner's Boomerang International And Cyber Group Studios' Animated Co-Production Taffy Premieres Today At MIPCOM
October 15, 2018 October 15, 2018 by RegularCapital
Today (15th October), Turner's Boomerang International and French animation studio – Cyber Group Studios (made in association with France Télévisions) will premiere their first animated co-production – "Taffy" at the MIPCOM media convention in Cannes, France.
The show's world premiere will be held during a session at MIPCOM called "The Making of a Modern Classic" (Monday 15th October, 12.30pm at the Majestic). During the presentation, Pierre Sissmann and Mike de Seve (Co-Creators of Taffy), Ahmed Guerrouache (Director) and representatives from the show's main original broadcast partners, Patricia Hidalgo (Chief Content Officer, Turner EMEA and International Kids Strategy) and Tiphaine de Raguenel (Executive Director of France 4 / Director of Children & Youth Activities, France Télévisions) will be introducing the new animated series and will be sharing their motivation behind the Hanna-Barbera inspired show.
In Taffy, a billionaire old lady named Mrs Muchmore takes in a raccoon imposter posing as a cat named Taffy, this leads to slapstick mayhem for Mrs. Muchmore's pet dog – Bentley. In each episode, Bentley tries to expose Taffy for what he is, but Taffy outsmarts him on his every move and causes nothing but chaos and disaster in the process. As a result of the mess, poor Bentley always gets the blame. Both Taffy and Bentley live a luxurious lifestyle in a large mansion, they travel around the world and meet important people – including the President, but no matter where they go and who they meet will never stop their endless battle of complete mayhem.
From The Cyber Group Studios Press Release: Cyber Group Studios And Turner Proudly Announce The Launch Of "Taffy" Their First Cartoon Co-Production For Boomerang International In Association With France Télévisions
Cyber Group Studios has joined forces with Turner to create Taffy, a brand-new animated series for Turner's second flagship kids' channel Boomerang across international markets. The series will also be broadcasted on France Televisions Networks.
Inspired by the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Taffy will enjoy a special World Premiere presentation at MIPCOM in a session titled – "The Making of a Modern Classic" (Monday 15th October at the Majestic). In this unique presentation, Pierre Sissmann and Mike de Seve (Co-Creators of the series), Ahmed Guerrouache (Director) and representatives from the main original broadcast partners,Patricia Hidalgo (Chief Content Officer, Turner EMEA and International Kids Strategy) and Tiphaine de Raguenel (Executive Director of France 4 / Director of Children & Youth Activities, France Télévisions) will introduce the series and share the motivation behind its creation.
Patricia Hidalgo, Chief Content Officer, Turner EMEA and International Kids Strategy said: "We were on the look-out for an original series for Boomerang inspired by the great Hanna Barbera classics and that's how we came to work on a development project, followed by this fantastic co-production with Cyber Group Studios. Taffy perfectly matches our ambition and we're confident it will be an instant hit when it premieres on Boomerang from the end of this year."
Pierre Sissmann, CEO of Cyber Group Studios and Co-Creator of Taffy added: "Cyber Group Studios is particularly proud to bring to the public the very first episodes of this modern classic and strongly believes it will find its home in the heart of kids and families around the world!"
Taffy (78×7') follows the non-stop, slapstick extravaganza faced by loyal hound dog Bentley when his billionaire old lady owner Mrs Muchmore takes in an imposter posing as wide-eyed, fluffy angora cat.
Each installment sees Bentley try to reveal "Taffy" for the vermin he is – while super-clever Taffy handily frames the dog for every one of his exploits, pillagings and disastrous messes. Whether traveling from Mrs Muchmore's luxurious mansion, to a five-star cruise, to jet-setting international adventures or a visit with the President, wherever these rivals go, mayhem is sure to follow!

The new season will feature seven-minute long episodes (episodes had a 2.5-minute runtime in season 1), longer episodes mean longer adventures with the loveable Happos characters at the safari park, each with their own personality and theme. A total of twenty-five episodes will be made for season two. Digital content will be released alongside the premiere of the new season, digital content includes the popular Boomerang Make n' Race app which also features Boomerang favourites Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry.

The new season will also be welcoming three new Happos: Football Happo, Scientist Happo and Acrobat Happo. The show is created in partnership with Italian chocolate company Ferraro, known for Ferraro Rocher, Kinder Surprise and Happy Hippos. Season two will be animated by Cyber Group Studios in France, the studio is also co-producing another animated show with Turner – Taffy, which is due to premiere next year.

Apart from Boomerang's international channels, the show has premiered on POGO in India and free-to-air channel Karusel in Russia, reaching more than 88 million. The show has a diverse range of characters such as Astro Happo who has an aspiration to fly to the moon, the daredevil Stunt Happo, Party Happo, Ballerina and Bollywood.

From The Turner EMEA Press Release: Turner EMEA Announces Second Series Greenlight Of The Happos Family: First original production for Boomerang to become latest addition to Turner EMEA Kids franchise portfolio; New series to be produced by Cyber Group Studios, with episodes extended to 7 minutes.
Turner EMEA announced today (24/05/2017) that it has greenlit a second season of its first ever Boomerang Original, The Happos Family – this time featuring longer adventures with the loveable Happos characters, as well as a raft of new digital content.
Series two, made up of 25 x 7-minute non-dialogue episodes, will launch on Boomerang channels from January 2018, and will introduce three brand-new characters to the family set-up: Football Happo, Scientist Happo and Acrobat Happo. It has been created in partnership with world-renowned Italian corporation Ferrero and will be produced by leading European animation company Cyber Group Studios (headquartered in Paris), with whom Turner recently signed a co-production deal for another new Boomerang series, Taffy.
Following a first series of 20 x 2 ½ minute shorts – which has launched on Turner Kids channel POGO (South Asia) and free-to-air channel Karusel (Russia), as well as Boomerang channels globally, reaching more than 88M viewers to date* – series two will offer kids and families the chance to become better acquainted with each of the unique and hilarious Happos and the safari park in which they live, where just about anything seems possible. Whether it's Astro Happo longing to fly to the moon, or Stunt Happo attempting a daredevil feat, or Party Happo in a dance off with Ballerina and Bollywood, each storyline is laugh-out-loud, slapstick comedy with lots of heart.
In addition to the linear roll-out, the Happos characters will appear across a variety of interactive digital platforms, including the popular Boomerang Make n' Race app (more than 20M downloads worldwide) alongside other Boomerang favourite characters Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry.
"The great audience reaction, channel exposure and performance of Happos to date are all positive signs that we have an exciting new franchise on our hands", says Johanne Broadfield, VP, Cartoon Network Enterprises EMEA. "We've seen kids actually belly-laughing while watching the content and demonstrating really strong engagement with the humour and characters. Taking the show to a new level, with longer episodes and extensive support across digital, stands us in very good stead for a successful consumer products programme – and we're looking forward to the reaction we get from prospective partners here at Vegas."
Pierre Sissmann, Chairman & CEO, Cyber Group Studios added: "We immediately fell in love with The Happos Family and it's not at all surprising that the show is already resonating with kids and families around the world. We're delighted to be partnering again with Turner and coming on board to produce the second series of Happos, this time with longer stories and great new characters."
The Happos Family follows the lives of a family of Happos who live in an enclosure in a safari park. In the morning the park is open to human visitors who drive past the Happos, taking pictures of them wallowing in the mud, lazing by the pool, sleeping in the shade of the tree. When the last car races out of the safari park and the gates are shut to all visitors, the Happos jump up out of the mud, wake up from their snoozing and get dressed up. It's now their time for crazy, zany, Happo adventures.
