Frankenstein By Mary Shelley
Frankenstein By Mary Shelley In agreement that Mary Shelly's novel, "Frankenstein" takes its meaning from tensions surrounding the cultural concerns of human nature, its potentials and limits and forces that go into the making.
The following will support this statement and tie traits from the book to today's society. Many lessons are embedded into Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, including how society acts towards the different. The monster fell victim to the judging of a a person by only his or her outer appearance. Whether people like it or not, society summarizes a person's characteristics by his or her physical appearance.
Society has set an unbreakable code individuals must follow to be accepted. Those who don't follow the "standard" are hated by the crowd and banned for the reason of being different. When the monster ventured into a town he "had hardly placed [his] foot within the door before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted" . From that moment on he realized that people did not like his appearance and hated him because of it. If villagers didn't run away at the sight of him, then they might have even enjoyed his personality. The monster tried to accomplish this when he encountered the De Lacey family.
The monster hoped to gain friendship from the old man and eventually his children. He knew that it could have been possible because the old man was blind, he could not see the monster's repulsive characteristics. But fate was against him and the "wretched" had barely conversed with the old man before his children returned from their journey and saw a monstrous creature at the feet of their father attempting to do harm to the helpless elder. "Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore [the creature] from his father, to whose knees [he] clung.." Felix's action caused great pain to the monster. He knew that his dream of living with them "happily ever after" would not happen and with the encounter still fresh in his mind along with his first encounter of humans, he "declared everlasting war against the species, and more than all, him who had formed the creature and sent him forth to this misery." The monsters source of hatred toward humans originates from his first experiences with humans.
In a way the monster started out with a childlike innocence that was eventually shattered by being constantly rejected by society time after time. His first encounter with humans was when he opened his yellow eyes for the first time and witnessed Victor Frankenstein, his creator, rush out of the laboratory. Would this have happened if society did not consider physical appearance to be important? No. If physical appearance were not important then the creature would have had a chance of being accepted into the community with love and care. But society does believe that physical appearance is important and it does influence the way people act towards each other. Frankenstein should have made him less offending if even he, the creator, could not stand his disgusting appearance.
There was a moment however when Frankenstein was moved by the creature. He "felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were" and decided that he had to make another creature, a companion for the original. But haunting images of his creation (from the monster's first moment of life) gave him an instinctive feeling that the monster would do menacing acts with his companion, wreaking twice the havoc! Reoccurring images of painful events originating from a first encounter could fill a person with hate and destruction. We as a society are the ones responsible for the transformation of the once childlike creature into the monster we all know. The public doesnt realize that our society has flaws, and that they must be removed before our primal instincts continue to isolate and hurt the people who are different. With such a large amount of technology among us, some people may wonder why such an advanced civilization still clings on to such primitive ways of categorizing people.
Victor Frankenstein, as he huddled in the corner of his room, with only bed sheets to offer a hint of security, plagued himself with questions as to how he could create such a catastrophe. A being of immense proportions, Victor's life-long work, stood lingering over Victor's bed and the only thought repeating in the creator's mind was how wretched it is.. " His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of pearly whiteness; but these luxuriance's only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set.." (P.56) This is the beginning of Victor's disclaiming attitude toward his creation and consequently initiates the monster's condemnation to a life devoid of human companionship. At "birth," the creature appears to not be either violent or vicious, but unfortunately, the rejection by his creator drives it to a life full of revenge. Rather than focusing this child-like hatred on Victor, the monster hits its creator where it hurts; his loved ones. This originally peaceful monster, now bitter and hateful, resorts to random acts of violence to compensate for its mistreatment.
At "birth," when the first spark of life shot through the creature, there is an apparent natural love and respect for the creator. Victor, on the other hand, fled in disgust at first sight of " the miserable monster which I have created"(57)and hoped to never see it again. But like a child, Frankenstein's monster returned expecting to be accepted: " And his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled his cheeks..one hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me"(57). Despite the initial desertion by its creator the monster is longing for fatherly affection. Victor again flees from the monster and this time it does not return and disappears for almost two years.
From this moment on, Frankenstein's monster demands retribution for his banishment from civilization. The last appearance from the creature revealed a loving and needy soul. But two years of loneliness and solitude has turned the monster into "a depraved wretch, whose delight was in carnage and misery"(74) as seen in the murder of William. The creature, in contrast to his initial feelings, has exhibited anger and frustration toward his situation. This beast, like a child, uses the most available means of persuasion to get what it wants.
But unlike a little child, who may cry or whine for attention, the massive monster utilizes its unhumanlike force to put the point across: "Nothing in human shape could have destroyed that fair child"(73). Victor concludes that he himself is nothing but "the author of intolerable evils"(88) and that he would live "in daily fear lest the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness"(89). Victor, as well as the reader, has a strong intuition that the monster will indeed commit additional monstrosities. William Frankenstein is only the beginning. "Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed"(132). The monster, now totally rejected by man, has reached the point where life seems hopeless.
Despite this, the creature does suggest a remedy for its brooding melancholy; a mate. " I am malicious because I am miserable..and you my creator should pity me,"(140) is the excuse used by the beast and threatens to "work at your (Victor) destruction" and "desolate your heart, so that you shall curse the hour of your birth"(141) if Victor did not comply. Conscience overtakes Victor and he refuses to complete the task, knowing full well the monstrous hell that awaits him. This originally peaceful creature, Victor's conception, now vows to fully unleash an unholy wrath on the creator's life because "revenge remains – revenge.."(162). "..But remember, I shall be with you on your wedding-night"(163).
These words echo through Victor Frankenstein's head, making him uneasy and spiteful towards the beast for being "the murderer of my peace"(163). But a deeper meaning lies behind this statement by the monster. The creature does in fact appear on Victor's wedding night, but he is not the target, Elizabeth his wife is. The monster has administered complete revenge on Victor by eliminating the creator's dearest love; "lifeless and inanimate..her bloodless arms and relaxed form flung by the murderer on its bridal brier"(189). This, consequently, is a parallel to the isolation from love bestowed on the monster.
Frankenstein's creation with its childlike emotions emerged as a tender being with no malice of thought. But the immediate feeling of rejection summoned anger in the beast that eventually wiped all joy out of its creator's life. The monster, as birth, wanted nothing more than to be satisfied and loved. Yet, after all revenge had been played out, the creature felt a sense of fulfillment in accordance to its creator's misery: "I am satisfied, miserable wretch! You have determined to live, and I am satisfied"(196), and with its revenge complete is "soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance"(215).

Acromegaly is a condition involving the growth hormone (GH). GH controls the growth of soft tissue and bones. Elevated GH can lead to serious complications and early death if left untreated. Acromegaly is a risk factor for developing knee osteoarthritis.
A benign tumor in the pituitary gland usually causes increased GH levels but malignant tumors in the pancreas and lungs can also be culprits.

Leslie Sacks Contemporary is pleased to announce its participation in Pacific Standard Time, an initiative of the Getty Research Institute, with an exhibition of works by Los Angeles artist Guy Dill, entitled A 1970's Dialogue with Materials.
The works featured in the exhibition will be on loan from Southern California institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Orange County Museum of Art. These major works illustrate Guy Dill's approach to materials as they relate to both engineering and composition, and demonstrate the artist's individual trajectory apart from the "Finish Fetish" and "Light and Space" movements that emerged in Los Angeles in the 1970's.
materials, highlighting their inherent structural and aesthetic qualities.
rebuilt with a new identity as dictated by their whole. Untitled 1970 shows the artist's use of raw blocks of wood and sections of rope to create a post tensioned work that is both revealing and refined, achieving its electric impact through the fragility of its suspension.
Guy Dill's pieces from this period interact with their surrounding architecture in visceral ways, creating a dynamic context of balance, support, energy and tension. By pushing and pulling on walls, ceilings and floors, his pieces activate and enliven their space, making viewers aware of the architecture's role in supporting the structural integrity of the sculpture. I n M a r y 1970, elements of the work are kept hovering at the edge of deconstruction, with the removal of any element threatening the safety of the work and the viewer alike. This partnership between architecture and sculpture was both structurally and visually essential, a fact recognized when Guy Dill's work was included in the 2005 exhibition chronicling Frank Gehry's influences, West! Frank Gehry and the Artists of Venice Beach, 1962-1978, Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Guy Dill's work existed alongside and beyond the major movements taking place in Los Angeles during the 1970s. His innovation was influential and the impact of his practice was prominent in 1974 and 1976 exhibitions at The Pace Gallery, New York. Keeping studios in both New York and Los Angeles, he interacted with artists from both coasts and continues to be a part of the larger dialogue of American contemporary art.

The effects of La Niña on the Myoko region
Historically, La Niña brings a 46% chance of an above-average snow year in the Niigata region
During the 13 La Niña cycles listed below, 7 years had snowfall below the average and 6 years had snow fall above the average, indicating that a La Niña cycle in the Niigata region historically brings a higher likelihood of slightly-blow-average snowfall. While the average may slightly favor an below-average dump, the chart suggests that La Niña in this region is historically a gamble with huge rewards when its on (see 2011), and big disappointments when its not (see 2006).
The data point to the effects of La Niña in the Myoko/Niigata region to be big. Unfortunately for us, history doesn't give us any strong indicator of which way that big influence is going to go. This year looks like a gamble, but if it wins it looks like it'll win really big. For years with big wins (high snowfall), see 1985, 2000, and 2011 on the chart below. For years with big losses (low snowfall) see 1965, 1972 and 2006.
Chart Analysis
The blue line in the chart below denotes how much snow fall was recorded by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) for the time span of 1953 to 2014 (years located on the X-axis). The intersecting orange bars indicate La Niña years recorded by JMA for Japan.
Historical snowfall analysis
How does the Myoko region compare to other regions in Japan?
Some other technical mumbo-jumbo:
The chart above shows historical snow fall data for the city of Niigata, 2 hours from the main Myoko Plateau. The elevation of Niigata is basically sea level, compared to Akakura Kanko ski area in Myoko which is located at 700m. While the difference in elevation is big, Niigata and Myoko can be generally compared as they're both on the west coast and among the first areas to get hit by the snow storms which predominantly come off the Sea of Japan.
The first thing you should note about this chart is that the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) doesn't have a weather station closer to Myoko than Niigata (from what this investigator could figure out). While Niigata is relatively close, it does get significantly less snow than the higher elevation plateau that Myoko is located on. However, given that they're in the same region and prone to the same general weather influences on the West coast of Japan the data for Niigata should reflect the overall conditions of Myoko, Madarao, Akakura Kanko, and Akakura Onsen, among the other resorts in that region.

Q: Pandas TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'str' (Python) Combining Series into DataFrames
Using the aud_usd_lst and eur_aud_lst lists defined in the scaffold on the right, perform the following tasks:

*

*Create a series named aud_usd_series with non-missing quotes for the AUD/USD exchange rate. Specifically:

The series should have dates as row labels. There should be no missing AUD/USD values.

*Create a series named eur_aud_series with non-missing quotes for the EUR/AUD exchange rate. Specifically:

The series should have dates as row labels. There should be no missing EUR/AUD values.

*Combine the two series into a data frame named df, so it has the dates as row labels and 'AUD/USD', 'EUR/AUD' as column labels.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from unanswered import *

aud_usd_lst = [
    ('2020-09-08', 0.7280),
    ('2020-09-09', 0.7209),
    ('2020-09-11', 0.7263),
    ('2020-09-14', 0.7281),
    ('2020-09-15', 0.7285),
    ]

eur_aud_lst = [
    ('2020-09-08',  1.6232),
    ('2020-09-09',  1.6321),
    ('2020-09-10',  1.6221),
    ('2020-09-11',  1.6282),
    ('2020-09-15',  1.6288),
    ]

Here is my Code:
aud_usd_series = pd.Series(np.array(aud_usd_lst)[:,1], index=np.array(aud_usd_lst)[:,0])
aud_usd_series

eur_aud_series = eur_aud_series = pd.Series(np.array(eur_aud_lst)[:,1], index=np.array(eur_aud_lst)[:,0])
eur_aud_series

df = pd.DataFrame([aud_usd_series,eur_aud_series]).T
df.columns = ['AUD/USD','EUR/AUD']
df

I tried to run the code and it says

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'str'

ANY Suggestion?

A: If this is the output you want based on the dataset in your question:
         date  aud/usd  eur/aud
0  2020-09-08   0.7280   1.6232
1  2020-09-09   0.7209   1.6321
2  2020-09-11   0.7263   1.6282
3  2020-09-15   0.7285   1.6288

Then, this is the code:
from io import StringIO
import pandas as pd

aud_usd_lst = [
    ('2020-09-08', 0.7280),
    ('2020-09-09', 0.7209),

    ('2020-09-15', 0.7285),
    ]
eur_aud_lst = [

    ('2020-09-09',  1.6321),
    ('2020-09-10',  1.6221),
    ('2020-09-11',  1.6282),
    ('2020-09-15',  1.6288),
    ]

temp1 = []
temp2 = []
date_list = []
for x in aud_usd_lst:
    temp1.append(x[0])

    temp2.append(x[0])
date_list = sorted(list(set(temp1).intersection(temp2)))

new_df_as_string = "date,aud/usd,eur/aud\n"
for x in date_list:
    new_df_as_string = new_df_as_string +x+","
    for y in aud_usd_lst:
        if y[0] == x:
            new_df_as_string = new_df_as_string +str(y[1])+","

new_df_as_file = StringIO(new_df_as_string)
df = pd.read_csv(new_df_as_file, sep=",")
print(df)

A: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'str'
This means you make operation between float and string that not possible

A: Put all of your code in the edit feature of codex, and the error in the instruction box. Tell it to fix the error.

• Make family meals regular: Knowing breakfast and dinner is being served at the respective time everyday can be comforting and appetite enhancing to the kid. Kids who eat breakfast tend to have good health and do better at school.
• Cook more meals at home: Eating homemade food is healthier for the whole family and teaches kids the importance of food. Dine out occasionally.
• Get kids involved: Children enjoy helping adults in their chores. Involve them in cooking, shopping for groceries or in preparing their lunch box. It gives them a chance to know and taste different foods.
• Get creative with healthy snacks to avoid junk: Keep plenty of fruits, whole grain snacks, nuts and healthy beverages like milk, fresh fruit juices, milkshakes, etc. easily accessible to kids instead of junk foods like pies, chips, wafers and sodas.
• Limit portion size: Do not give a too big or a too small portion size. Limit it to a standard size depending on his appetite and meal time. Never use food as a reward or as a punishment.
How to introduce a new healthy food to your kid?
• Offer new food only when your child is hungry and relaxed.
• Eat the new food along with your child, they love to imitate you.
• Involve your child when you are cooking a new food. They would love to try the food that they were involved in cooking.
• Limit snacks to two per day.
• Limit beverages, if your child is a picky eater. They tend to fill up on liquids.
Make food and meal time an occasion your child looks forward to!

Looking for something fun to do with 3 other friends this weekend that may or may not result in a broken nose? You could get drunk and play punchies again… OR you could fling each other around with a giant slingshot band. To play you need four players to form a square inside of the band. Next, two players run towards each other while the other two stretch the band. Once resistance is built up the next pair is slingshotted towards each other. Then repeat that until someone either falls out backwards or slams into another person and breaks their nose… or if alcohol is involved, until someone projectile vomits. Watch the video to see the Human Slingshot in action.

Court Decision A Victory For Atlantic's First Marine National Monument
By Patrick Skahill • Jan 13, 2020
Octupus in the Physalia seamount, one of four seamounts that are protected as part of a Marine National Monument.
NOAA / National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Originally published on January 17, 2020 11:15 am
A federal appeals court has upheld the creation of the Atlantic Ocean's first marine national monument. It's the latest judicial validation for an Obama-era decision, which was praised by environmentalists.
President Barack Obama created the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument in 2016, using his authority under the federal Antiquities Act.
The monument lies more than 100 miles southeast of Cape Cod. It includes an area that's about the size of Connecticut. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the zone is filled with natural wonders, including deep-sea corals that are thousands of years old.
"Diving through these areas is like a walk through Dr. Seuss' garden. But this isn't a landscape in someone's imagination. This is real," said Peter Auster, a scientist at Mystic Aquarium and UConn who has done research there since the 1980s.
"Much like driving up a mountain, where you go through different life zones, the same thing happens when you drop down through the ocean into the canyons," Auster said. "We pack a huge amount of diversity into a small area, because of the steepness and the depth that occurs along the edge of our continental margin."
The 2016 monument designation enacted a series of protections aimed at preserving the area's unique geology and biodiversity. But commercial fisheries groups challenged its legality, arguing the monument was an overreach of executive branch authority, and upended years of industry efforts to promote sustainable fishing in the region.
In 2018, a federal judge dismissed that lawsuit, and last month, an appeals court upheld that decision, reaffirming the validity of the Obama-era monument.
Jonathan Wood, an attorney representing the fisheries appellants, said in an email that "the next step will be a petition asking the entire D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to review the case, which is due next month. Depending on the outcome, the case can then be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States."
In the meantime, environmentalists are celebrating the ruling.
"[The court] decision affirms that presidents have the authority to protect marine areas like this for the benefit of current and future generations," said Kate Desormeau, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, in an emailed statement. "Preserving ocean areas like this one will be absolutely key to ensuring the resilience of our oceans in a changing climate."

Trump Administration Could Allow Commercial Fishing In Marine National Monument
By Fred Bever • Sep 19, 2017
A leaked memo from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke shows he wants to go roll back some protections for national monuments designated by former President Barack Obama. That includes the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument — the first marine monument established in the Atlantic.
Court Battle Continues Over Atlantic Ocean's First-Ever National Monument
By Patrick Skahill • Apr 17, 2018
Commercial fishing groups are joining in federal court to challenge the creation of the Atlantic Ocean's first-ever marine national monument. But the federal government is now asking for the case to be tossed out.
At stake is the future of roughly 5,000 square miles off the coast of Massachusetts, called the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts.

You can save on postage costs by following the Royal Mail's Pricing in Proportion system (PiP) and using our PiP boxes, postal cartons and other packaging. The 3 classes of mail are Letter, Large Letter as well as Small and Medium Parcels.
Did you know... You can now send a Small Parce with Royal Mail for just £2.90 (up to 2kg).
complete range of Small Parcel Packaging.
We have a range of PiP boxes, padded envelopes and postal cartons that are ideal to use as Pricing in Proportion packaging. They are all supplied flat-packed for convenient use and easy storage.
There are 6 sizes of our padded envelopes and 7 of our bubble lined envelopes that fit in the Large Letter category, as well as one white postal carton while the larger sizes go into the Small Parcel class. For other Small Parcel postal solutions we have white postal boxes (4 sizes), foam-lined postage boxes (3 sizes) and 10 sizes of our convenient standard single wall cardboard box including our L96 single wall postal carton which is to Royal Mail's maximum small parcel size.
Our PiP boxes and packaging for the Medium Parcel category includes our bubble-lined or padded envelopes, our book mailing boxes and of course a choice of differently sized single wall cardboard boxes and strong double wall boxes.
Our wide range of cardboard boxes is perfect for posting bulkier items in the Medium Parcel category while conforming to the Royal Mail Pricing in proportion boxes specifications.
For instance, you could save money on a direct mail marketing shot by posting it in a postal product conforming to the Large Letter requirement – one of our padded envelopes – rather than the Small Parcel. It is also cheaper to post an A4 document by folding it into an A5 rather than A4 size envelope (Letter as opposed to Large Letter).
Before the introduction of the PiP system, Royal Mail realised there were often discrepancies in the cost of mailing goods. It was thought that the amount of postage paid – based on weight – did not necessarily reflect the cost of handling and sorting items such as large letters and different sizes of postal carton. Postage was low on light, large items but high on heavy, smaller ones.

What is ethical hacking also known as Pen testing.
Well, first consider that hackers are everyday individuals that will have jobs and responsibilities. These people can be programmers, coders, or career criminals – but if there's one thing that they will all have in common, it's that they can cause millions of dollars in damage every year. There are typically two types of hackers; those that practice their activities for entertainment, and those that wish to gain something out of it.
But there is a secret third type of hacker, the anti-hacker if you will and these experts are invaluable to businesses that operate their own online presence via a website. Often referred to as ethical hackers, these individuals are willing to offer their expertise and digital prowess, in return for a fee, or some form of compensation.
Pen testing on promotional websites
What is does crowdsourced security do?
Hackers often come from backgrounds where they will have been exposed to coding and programming, although there are those that are self-taught, too. Some will dedicate hours of their time to causing damage to websites simply because they want to, but it's not uncommon for them to do so for financial gain as well.
Crowdsourcing works by bringing these hackers together with businesses; and instead of doing so to damage the infrastructure of a site, these ethical hackers will instead offer to discover flaws and weaknesses in return for a fee. Many businesses have started to utilise this method, as it is the digital equivalent of fighting fire with fire.
How to Crowdsource your application security testing
This unique take on the hacking genre has taken the world by storm, so much so that many businesses are now offering thousands of dollars in compensation in return for ethical hackers to source, identify and report potential weaknesses that may leave a site exposed to hacking. The process starts by a company releasing a bounty for white hat hackers, in return for evaluating the companies' website. When bugs, glitches and issues are discovered, they can be reported to the website owner directly, where they will be able to pay for the effort and then rectify the concerns.
Enhanced firewall installation
Most networks are exposed to no fewer than a dozen intrusion attempts on a daily basis – and many of these attempts originate from automatic bots that are consistently attempting to gain access to a site's infrastructure. Some hackers create even more advanced systems that will actively seek out weaknesses in coding and programming, and an enhanced firewall can go a long way in deterring these efforts. By upgrading a firewall, the network will be able to almost immediately identify any hacking attempts and then block them.
Can online security really be improved?
This is where white hat, or ethical, hackers come into the fray. It's their job to review, evaluate and identify a website's flaws and possible weaknesses. Many ethical coders will have access to the most advanced tools and resources – plenty of which will have been designed and developed by their community, so employing their use in a safe manner can help to ensure that a website won't fall victim to someone using the tools with criminal intentions.
As far as a business is concerned, the ability to have a knowledgeable expert locate and report the most prominent bugs and issues can be very beneficial – and once identified, it can be a simple task to introduce measures to metaphorically fix the break within their system. And all that a white hat hacker will want in return is a fee to act as compensation; something that thousands of businesses are willing to pay, in return for helping to protect their sites and services from unsavoury activities.

COMMENTS: Another brilliant Cornwell design, rescube is a two piece take apart puzzle with a tricky and entertaining solution. It's quite a fun puzzle to solve, moderate in difficulty but interesting in operation.
Construction of this puzzle was painstaking. The frame and internal shuttle share a hybrid miter / shouldered joint I invented especially for this project. The joint is more work to make, but creates strong and stable joinery while concealing the slots for the wall inserts. Also, the internal shuttle has a weak arm which is not well supported, but the hybrid joint guarantees longevity. A lot of work into this piece, and I feel it turned out quite well indeed!
Each piece signed and dated; an edition of 40 made for sale. Never before made available.


Can someboady tells me how to use slaves I transfere them to hte city but I can't set them to work.I put the number of the slaves to work and I pres build but nothing happends 0 slaves are working like workers.
I think they need to be in the tool bar, not the city to use them to build.
You can use either. It will take as much of it can from the box and then take the remainder needed for what you entered from the town.
Need 10 per building, or else you will not get the full, or in some cases, any building time reduction.

The Recovery Rate continues to be above 93% as 93.68% of all cases have recovered as of date. In the last 24 hours, the country registered 41,024 new recoveries in the last 24 hours taking the total recovered cases to 85,62,641.
The gap between Recovered cases and Active cases is steadily increasing and presently stands at 81,19,155.
In the last 24 hours, 44,059 persons were found infected with COVID. India has been registering less than 50,000 cases for the last 16 days, since 8th November. This assumes significance as several countries of the Western Hemisphere are witnessing a huge surge of new cases at the onset of winter.
77.44% of the new recoveries are contributed by ten States/UTs.
Kerala saw 6,227 persons recovering from COVID. Delhi reported 6,154 recoveries. Maharashtra reported another 4,060 new recoveries in the last 24 hours.
Ten States/UTs have contributed 78.74%of the new cases. Delhi reported 6,746 cases in the last 24 hours. Maharashtra recorded 5,753 new cases while Kerala reported 5,254 daily cases yesterday.
15 States and UTs are reporting less than the national average of cases per million population(6,623).
74.95% of the 511 case fatalities reported in the past 24 hours are concentrated in Ten States/UTs.
Delhi with 121 reported deaths occupy 23.68% of new fatalities. Maharashtra saw a fatality count of 50 while West Bengal followed closely with 49 new fatalities.

Beijing Authorities Investigate Alleged Theft of Tiananmen Paintings
Xinhua, August 25, 2011
Beijing authorities said Wednesday they have started an investigation following anonymous reports saying eight precious paintings had been stolen from the Tiananmen rostrum in the heart of the Chinese capital.
Beijing's local media reported earlier on Wednesday that authorities had received anonymous reports about the thefts of eight painting and calligraphic works from seven renowned Chinese artists.
The artists reportedly donated the works to Tiananmen in the 1990s.
"We are examining our collections to verify if every item is in place," a spokesman with the Tiananmen administrative committee said in an interview with Xinhua late Wednesday night.
He said the committee had begun scrutinizing its collections last year, in an effort to set up an electronic file for better management.
The committee has strict rules to ensure the safety of all its artworks. "All the artworks are kept in special cabinets and the keys to these cabinets are not allowed to be taken out of the storeroom," the spokesman said.
Receipts, lendings and deposits of Tiananmen art collections are strictly registered by the committee's staff and verified by their supervisors, he said.
The storeroom is generally off-limits to outsiders and visitors have to get approval from the head of the committee and have to be accompanied by committee staff, he said. "Visitors are also banned from opening the cabinets, touching or taking photos of the artworks."
In May, Beijing police seized a man who was suspected to have stolen several items from the Forbidden City, in a rare theft at heavily-guarded ancient imperial palace museum of China.

My son got hit by a ball during a dodgeball game at school. He texted me and said he thinks he got a fracture, and that it was painful. I instructed him to go to the teacher and ask for ice to prevent swelling. I called the office to follow up and they said he was okay. When I picked him up, his arm didn't look the same. I immediately brought him to the ER and found he had a closed fracture and had to see an Orthopedic Surgeon.
The student that threw the ball so hard was the same boy who hurt him last week, but my son didn't complain. Although the first one was not reported to the office. My son said that his classmates saw that he got hit in the face in the same game by the same boy. A written incident by the teacher only said that my son don't look in pain, and that he only asked for ice.
Does the school need to pay all the medical bills, even though we have medical insurance with good coverage? Was it negligence on the part of the teacher not to send my son to the office to be checked, and their failure to notify me? Also, should the other student be reprimanded? Or was it also a case of "prejudice" because the other boy is the same nationality as the teacher and everyone else in the office?
When it comes to a school's legal duty toward the protection of students, specific supervision is required. This is especially true when students are involved in activities with obvious hazards or dangers. The type of supervision and protection depends on the age of the child and the type of activity.
For example, let's say middle school students are playing baseball during gym class. In the past, several students have been unintentionally hit in the head by the pitcher when throwing the ball to the batter. Despite the obvious danger of head injuries, the school failed to provide hard baseball protective headgear for the students.
During one game a batter was struck in the head by the ball as it was thrown by the pitcher, causing a brain concussion. The parents incurred substantial medical bills.
In the above case the school would have been negligent in not providing the headgear, and therefore liable for the student's injuries and resulting medical bills.
Another example would be a teacher or supervisor who has been warned about the "propensity" of a student to behave in a manner which has caused injuries to other students. And despite that knowledge, the teacher or supervisor failed to take action to protect other students.
If the student who struck your son had a history of causing injuries to students, and the school failed to take action to protect those students, the school may be liable. In this case, there is no evidence of that. Because the prior incident was not reported to the teacher or a school administrator, they would not have have had previous knowledge.
While the school exhibited negligence in its apparent failure to take your son's injury more seriously, and provide or cause to be provided appropriate medical attention, that negligence was not the cause your son's injury. As a result, the school would likely not be liable for your son's medical bills.

Prince George's liquor board official indicted on bribery
A federal grand jury has indicted a former Prince George's County liquor board official on charges related to a bribery conspiracy.
The indictment of Anuj Sud was announced Wednesday by the Maryland U.S. attorney's office. The indictment alleges Sud solicited and accepted bribes in the performance of his official duties.
Court documents allege Sud solicited bribes from a lobbyist in exchange for Sud's assistance in September 2015. Prosecutors say after that, Sud and the lobbyist discussed Sud voting favorably in two upcoming hearings concerning the lobbyist's clients for money.
Prosecutors say at each of the hearings Sud took favorable action on behalf of the clients, and the lobbyist then paid Sud $1,000.
He's charged with two counts of bribery. He faces up to 10 years in prison on each count.

To help us more fully embody a biblical community, we want to become a greenhouse of spiritual growth.
Adult Christian Formation happens in many ways. At BCC we seek to provide a variety of opportunities where you can learn, grow, connect, and serve. On Sunday mornings after our worship service we have Life Together from 11-noon with classes and one-week options,. At other times we have small group Bible studies, connection groups, leadership training, and mentoring. Check out some of the opportunities below.
We like to say that we prefer to put a comma after each Sunday worship service rather than a period. This simply means we don't expect you to rush off right after our service ends. Instead, we hope that you would join us and experience all aspects of our community life. Each phase is intended to give you an opportunity to connect with God and our broader church community in a variety of ways: Classes, Small Groups, Service, or meeting a friend in our Café Fika...Take advantage of the opportunities to grow and connect! If you have questions about Life Together, contact Janet Russell.
Small groups offer a chance for us to share life together. We believe that God can shape us for the good through intentional friendships of depth and vulnerability where 'iron can sharpen iron' (Prov. 27:17). It's our desire to promote spiritual friendships of mutual encouragement and support in order to emphasize the connectedness we experience as we follow Jesus together.
We have a variety of groups meeting throughout the week. If you would like more information about any adult group, contact Janet Russell.

Missing In Georgia
'Until I get evidence, in my mind, she's alive' | Tiffany Foster's sister speaks 4 months after her disappearance
The mom of three went missing on March 1. 'Every time we find a new piece of information, that gets our hopes up but then it's like, that's not leading to her.'
Author: Hope Ford
Published: 4:54 PM CDT July 1, 2021
Updated: 10:26 PM CDT July 1, 2021
NEWNAN, Ga. — Kimberly Bryan's older sister, Tiffany Foster, was her first friend. In a family of four sisters, the two of them were closest in age and acted as each other's shadow. Their mom even dressed them alike.
So, it's no surprise the two have matching tattoos to remind them of how much they mean to each other. Even if it did take a hot minute for Bryan to convince Foster.
"We got them in 2019. I finally talked her into getting one. And I was like, 'alright we're going to get matching tattoos' and she said 'alright' and I'm like, 'are you serious?' So I called the guy and paid for them and told her, 'they're paid for, you gotta go through with it.'"
Foster went through with it. On Foster's arm, the words 'big sister.' can be seen in cursive text. Bryan's of course, reads 'lil' sister.'
The words on each sister's arms are inside hearts, to remind them they'll always have a place in each other's.
Foster and Bryan talked on a weekly basis. But Bryan hasn't heard from her sister, in four months.
"It's not real. It just doesn't seem real," Bryan said, staring briefly into thin air, almost willing her sister to appear.

Tiffany Foster
Foster, also known as Tiffany Starks, was reported missing on March 1, after leaving the home she shared with her fiancé, Reginald Robertson, to run an errand.
She's hasn't been seen since. Her three children, a 17-year-old son, a 15-year-old daughter, and an 11-year-old son, have been staying with different family members.
Bryan said they're all understandably, having a difficult time.
"I was laying in my bed and she just ran into my room and broke down crying," said Bryan, who is taking care of Foster's daughter. "I just felt so helpless, like what can I say?"
Bryan told 11Alive, Foster texted her daughter, asking if she needed anything from the store. Her daughter didn't see the message until later.
"To hear a 15-year-old say, 'she wouldn't be missing if I just replied to her text message.' It's a lot," she said.
It was Foster's daughter who alerted her grandmother that Foster didn't return home that night. The family contacted police.
On March 8, Foster's car, a gray 2020 Nissan Altima, was discovered in College Park. Her debit card, purse, keys to her home were found inside.
"It just makes sense that something happened to her. I don't know a woman that goes without her purse or her wallet. I don't know a person that goes without their ID," Bryan said.
A few weeks later, on March 23, Bryan, other family and Robertson, Foster's fiancé, appeared at a news conference, begging for information about the mom's disappearance. Robertson said he hadn't talked to Foster since she left home on March 1st.
Bryan said something felt off.
"The vibe, the energy, like something in me just said, 'he knows more than what he's doing,'" Bryan remembered.
Robertson was later arrested and charged with theft after investigators said he moved Foster's car from Newnan to College Park days after she went missing.
"You just did an interview about how you missed her and want her to come home and a few days later, you're the one who moved the car and it's like oh, you know something," Bryan said.
Coweta County Sheriff Lenn Wood said at the time, the charges were not directly related to Foster's disappearance.
Wood further stated Robertson was not a suspect in her disappearance at the time. Investigators have not said why Robertson would have moved the car.
Bryan said Robertson isn't cooperating with police and believes wherever the car was originally located could have ties to her disappearance.
"And I feel like that's why it was moved," Bryan said.
Would Foster have just left her life on her own accord? Bryan doesn't believe so, since she was a few months away from graduating from Georgia Military College where she studied criminal justice. Her goal, work in law enforcement. Bryan said she also would never willingly let go of her children.
"She wouldn't leave them like that. Everything was going good for her. You don't just walk away from something like that," she said.
Bryan said her sister was strong, smart, always laughing, and the person anyone could go to with their problems. Foster is the exact person Bryan needs right now.
"Right, she would be the one I would talk to. So, I'm sorry," Bryan said, taking a break to wipe tears away. "It's just so hurtful because yeah I need her to talk, to hear and be like 'this is what's going on and XYZ.' I miss her walking through here, asking to borrow clothes or 'Kim can you do my makeup or my hair?' Like, I miss that."
After a few sniffles, Bryan continued, "It breaks my heart to think, to even think I may not see her again."
Bryan said she can't help but think about Foster's children, who have no way of knowing what happened to their mom.
"I can call my mom. They can't and I'm thinking of it as, what if I wasn't able to call my mom? Or see my mom. It hurts," Bryan said as tears fell once again. "I just feel for them."
Bryan said she's not giving up on her sister returning home. The family continues to pray and work with detectives to find more evidence, hoping it inches them closer to finding Foster.
"I think it's the not knowing that's driving us crazy because it leads your mind to think of so many things on the spectrum from the worst case scenario to OK, she's going to walk through the door," she said.
Bryan said she tries to block out negative thoughts about her sister.
"Until I get that evidence, in my mind, she's alive," she said.
Almost every great memory Bryan has, her sister was a part of it. She wants to make more memories with her sister. She wants her heart, to be whole again.
"I know when I see her, I'm going to break down crying and after that it's like, what condition am I going to see her in?" Bryan questioned. "It's a lot."
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information about Foster.
Investigators confirm Robertson has not been charged in connection to Foster's disappearance and are still treating the case as an active missing person.
Foster is about 5-foot 2-inches tall and weighs 220 pounds, with a large strawberry red birthmark that stretches from her back down her left arm. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Coweta County Sheriff's Office at 770-253-1502.

Local elections sharpen defeat for the right
Friday 13 October 2017, by Luis Branco
In the local elections on 1 October Portugal's ruling Socialist Party won 38 per cent of the votes. The major rightwing opposition party, the PSD only won 16 per cent and lost control of 8 cities. Abstention was 45 per cent. [1]
Despite the predominance of local factors in the choice of the vote, there is of course a national reading of the electoral results of 1 October: for the first time in 32 years, the ruling party won the municipal elections.
The Portuguese last saw the ruling party win the municipal elections in 1985. The victory of the Socialist Party in 2017, with a gain of 10 municipalities, means it is currently running 159 of the 308 municipalities in the country.
The Socialist Party in Progress
These elections are the first since the 2015 legislative elections, when the PS arrived behind the coalition of the PSD-CDS right. But it was able to form a government with support of the Parliament of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) and the Left Bloc. The right-wing PSD-CDS parties, responsible for implementing the austerity policies of the troika, hoped that the electorate would defeat the ruling coalition. Following the electoral defeat for the right, the leader of the PSD and former Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho announced his immediate withdrawal from political life. [2]
Although the Left has increased its percentage in votes and elected representatives in these elections, not all parties have benefited in the same way. In fact, only the PS managed to win new municipalities. The PCP has lost 10 municipalities, almost all of them to the PS - notably in Alentejo, the historic bastion of the PCP - and the Left Bloc still does not control any.
Positive results for the Left Bloc
For the Left Bloc, the result was positive although it remains modest. It increased in votes (+ 50,000) and the number of municipal councilors increased from 100 to 125, the number of parish [freguesia] councillors from 138 to 213 and the number of deputy mayors from 8 to 12.
The central thrusts of the Left Bloc campaign, based on local struggles, were transparency, defence of territories and protection of the environment, strengthening of social services and public services, and the end of precariousness for municipal service officers.
While acknowledging the important work still needed to develop its local presence, Catarina Martins, Bloc coordinator, highlighted the election for the first time of a candidsate of the Left Bloc, Ricardo Robles, to the municipal executive of Lisbon. [3]
The current political situation of the city of Lisbon is the same as in 2007. The mayor, Fernando Medina, needs the support of the Left Bloc councillor to have a majority in the Municipal Assembly. Throughout the campaign, Ricardo Robles laid down the conditions for Lisbon to be able to implement the same agreement as at the national level: a moderate rent housing programme, construction of dozens of municipal crèches, an increase in the budget for schools, development of public transport. The outcome of the negotiations that will take place in the coming weeks may lead, if there is agreement, to the post of deputy mayor for the Left Bloc. [4]
[1] Francisco Louçã, historic leader of the Left Bloc, noted "the fall in abstention is a good sign, but it is still too high and there are always many crocodile tears. The electoral rolls have not been updated, which overestimates abstention, and the political system has not been able to create the confidence and mobilization that democracy requires."
[2] "The PSD vote has fallen and the PS has gained. In Lisbon and Porto, the PSD was at about 10%, while the PS strengthened its municipal majority. For PSD leader Passos Coelho it is a difficult challenge, because he chose the candidates." F.L.
[3] "The Left Bloc increased its vote, winning where it most needed to win, with the election of additional councillors in Lisbon and other cities where it will be crucial to win local majorities. It should be noted that in Lisbon it took risks with a little-known candidate who proved to be confident and mobilizing. If there is a lesson to be learned for the party, it is that it is strengthened by openness and renewal." F.L.
[4] "Fernando Medina, the PS candidate in Lisbon, must get along with the left, despite winning comfortably, and the negotiations will be difficult. The PCP will have to make alliances on the left in several municipalities. And the Left Bloc must organize systematic work with local governments, because from now on the majority is at stake in many town halls. If, in general, the PS-BE-PCP majority confluence is strengthened because of the defeat of the right, it is also true that it will have a lot of work, which will require a lot of negotiations and create tensions. It's life, as a former prime minister said, and that's how it is." F.L.
"The priority for the Left Bloc is clear: to increase the income of those who live by their labour"

So, you've finally decided that you are going to take part in this marathon. But you are still not sure where to begin to improve your fitness level. All your friends are trying to encourage you but deep down you know that even they are not so sure that you will be able to complete it.
ust by making sure that you are practicing the right poses and under the right guidance you can get equipped to run a marathon within just 6 months or less. All you have to focus on is your breathing technique and prevent the long marathon run from tiring you down. Not that you will be able to avoid it completely but with better functioning lungs and more oxygen in your body you will be able to recover from the stress of it much sooner. This is one way of combating physical stress.
If you think you can't manage all of it on your own, you can rely on marathon organizers. They are involved in several health camps that conduct training programs for beginners so that they can get insights about their fitness levels and also understand where exactly they need to work.
Commitment Is Important But So Is Care!
You have to take your joints seriously and also understand that just like any other fitness regime you decide to follow whether it is gym or yoga or cycling, running too requires commitment and discipline. Everyone has a different body type and you need to realize that. Even your capacity to run and recover from all that stress is going to differ from that of your friends and colleagues who are participating in the very same marathon.
Try to stick to a schedule that is most convenient for you in the beginning and then you can increase the intensity of it gradually. You will notice that you have become comfortable with the increased intensity and you can dial up the difficulty level further as you progress. The trick is to go slow and steady because you know how they say; slow and steady wins the race.
Last, but not least, look after your 'biomechanics' - make sure you wear the right type of shoe for your feet (i.e. pronator, supinator etc). Try Footlogics Sports in your running shoes for added control and cushioning.

Tougher ban on bee-harming pesticides essential after new safety study
A tougher ban on three neonicotinoid pesticides is urgently needed, Friends of the Earth Europe said, after a major new report published today confirmed comprehensive evidence of the threat these chemicals pose to Europe's bees.
The European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) much-awaited assessment of the highly controversial pesticides reviews the scientific evidence since the ban was introduced in 2013. The evidence shows that outdoor uses of neonicotinoid pesticides represent a risk to wild bees and honeybees.

We all have things that we more or less have to do in life that for most of us automatically trigger feelings of frustration, boredom, restlessness, and even fear. These might include sitting in traffic, waiting in a long line at the post office, engaging in Jury Duty, arguing an erroneous charge on a bill, or being given seemingly busy work at our jobs. If we all sat in a room together, I'm sure we can make a list that could wrap around this good earth.
I was called to Jury Duty not too long ago; actually, I'm here right now awaiting my fate before a judge to see whether I will be sitting on a weeklong Jury.
As I drove to the courthouse today, the thoughts seemed to not be as present, but as soon as I arrived and saw the long line for security, they came right back.
As I sat down awaiting orientation, I noticed my body in a fit of discomfort. My breathing was heavy, my face constricted, and I was feeling angry that I was here. The thoughts were like a waterfall flooding over me cycling with my physical discomfort.
Along with these thoughts were intermittent thoughts of bringing mindfulness to the situation, but these were also just more thoughts, I wasn't actually engaging with any practice.
When I realized this, I Stopped, Took a Breath, Observed how I was feeling physically and emotionally, and chose to proceed by continuing to be present with my body (This is the STOP practice).
My mind's struggling appeared to dissipate as I noticed the tightening of my chest and was just able to be with it. I recognized that I was suffering and chose to turn toward the discomfort and look upon it as a part of me in pain that I was caring for. Much like we might imagine the archetypal mother caring for her child.
This really changed things. I found what is called, and "in-between moment" to bring mindfulness to. What was initially a depleting activity has turned into an opportunity to practice changing the way I relate to difficulty. I'm still sitting here awaiting the next step in this process, but as I type these words, my mind is quieter and the tension in my chest feels more like a subtle vulnerability. There is definitely a greater sense of peacefulness and acceptance around this judicial process and my own process.
Take it for what it's worth. What activities do you have today that you might be able to bring mindfulness to? Any phone calls you're waiting on hold with, red lights in traffic, any lines to wait in?
Give it a chance, don't expect miracles, and trust your experience.
Please share your thoughts, stories, and questions below. Your interaction creates a living wisdom for us all to benefit from.
