LAS VEGAS — The positive vibes are still coming to Henry Ellenson.
The Detroit Pistons' third-year power forward has struggled through the first four games of the Las Vegas Summer League.
Hoping to make an impression on new coach Dwane Casey, he is struggling to find the basket.
He missed his first eight shots before making his first basket late in the second quarter in Wednesday's victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He scored seven points on 3-for-17 shooting in 25 minutes
After four games, he is shooting 26 percent from the field and just 14 percent from 3-point range.
Casey is preaching a positive approach, but it's hard to see any positives with such low shooting numbers.
But the encouragement is still coming from former Pistons assistant Otis Smith.
My guy! @HenryEllenson13 .. that lab work .. boooooyyyyyy! Yeah man #bigthings#confidence#proudhttps://t.co/OWEKQTVOax
— TheRealOtisFSmith (@OFSmith32) July 10, 2018
He will be fine! He is a talented kid, with a huge heart and sincerely loves the game of basketball! @HenryEllenson13https://t.co/G9eyoHrKNT
— TheRealOtisFSmith (@OFSmith32) July 7, 2018
His Twitter posts have continued despite the firing of former coach Stan Van Gundy, who brought Smith to the organization in 2014.
The social media encouragement is a continuation of Smith's efforts to provide comfort to Ellenson during a trying season out of Van Gundy's playing rotation.
And while Ellenson is looking forward to his opportunity with Casey, he admits Smith's presence will be missed.
"I miss O a lot," Ellenson said this week. "He still talks to me every day. It's different not having him on the bench, but he was a guy for me who always looked out for me.
"He was always helping with myself and what I was going through. Just having his support, having someone believe in me like that, yeah, he's a role model for me. Having him my first two years is something I'm very thankful for."
Door slammed
It was expected that Ellenson would spend a redshirt year with the Pistons after he was selected with the 18th pick of the 2016 NBA draft.
A skilled 6-foot-11, the rookie who had spent one year at Marquette needed to work on his shooting form.
And he needed to hit the weight room and become leaner.
He put the work in.
Going into last season, Ellenson impressed enough in offseason workouts and the preseason to land a spot in the playing rotation.
But it was spotty.
After scoring 13 points in 16 minutes in the season-opening victory against the Charlotte Hornets, he didn't leave the bench in the second game at the Washington Wizards.
He played four minutes at the New York Knicks; he didn't play at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.
He played in the next two games and didn't play at Golden State.
He was exposed defensively in a blowout loss at the Lakers.
The Ellenson experiment was finished. He saw mostly garbage time until the Pistons were eliminated from playoff consideration late in the season.
Smith was a big booster of Ellenson.
When Reggie Jackson went down with an ankle injury and the team struggled offensively, Ellenson remained out of the rotation.
It was a common sight after practices and before games to see Ellenson working on his skills under the watchful eye of Smith.
The encouraging words of belief were needed.
Ellenson understood the reasoning; it was still tough to endure.
Along with Smith, assistant coaches Charles Klask, Aaron Gray and video coordinator Jordan Brink (who remains part of the front office) encouraged Ellenson.
"We were competing for a spot in the playoffs so (Van Gundy) went with the older guys," Ellenson said. "It was tough, but having the support of the coaches on the staff. I think that's how I got through the year. If it wasn't for those coaches, it would have been a lot tougher.
"It wasn't easy to deal with, but they definitely helped to take a load off on that. It was tough not being able to play, but I thought I handled it the best I could and just kept putting in the work."
Ellenson said he remains in contact with Smith through Twitter direct messages and texts.
The Pistons (2-2) advanced to Saturday's quarterfinal against the Chicago Bulls in the annual showcase for the league's rookies and young prospects.
Ellenson's shooting hasn't helped the cause, although assistant coach Sean Sweeney defends the big man.
With Luke Kennard (left knee strain) and two-way contract point guard Keenan Evans sidelined by injuries, Ellenson has been asked to make plays and provide ballhandling.
"I'm just focused on getting back to playing, getting in rhythm, trying to attack guys, just learning how to take the game over again and just be real effective, trying to have that mindset again," Ellenson said. "It's been good. Some shots haven't been falling the way I've wanted to, but I'm not going to get discouraged by that."
He played well in a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies with 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

And Ellenson delivered five key points at Cox Pavilion to help the Pistons hold off the Timberwolves, who rallied from a 19-point deficit to take a brief lead in the fourth quarter.
He added seven rebounds.
"You can't skip any steps when you're playing when things are going good or not so good," Sweeney said. "He stayed with it the whole way so I'm really happy with the way he defended, the way he rebounded, the way he made plays and the way he made shots down the stretch."
Ellenson, 21, sees the opportunity.
Casey brings a reputation of playing young guys and letting them work through mistakes.
But nothing's promised.
"After the first two years I've had, having a coach who believes in me, it's going to give me the confidence on the court and he's going to trust me," Ellenson said. "I've got to work with it. I can't just hear that and think I'm OK now. I still got to earn it. Nothing's going to be given, you got to put in the work."

This past Friday morning police in Oak Bluffs police were called to a location on a report of a dead body. When they arrived they went to a bedroom where they observed the body of a fifty year old man. Based on the presence of Drug Paraphernalia including baggies and a syringe officer believed that the man may have died of a drug overdose. The deceased's roommate, Mathew Hubert was at the scene. Police reported that Hubert would obtain five hundred bags of Heroin from a source in western Massachusetts and would sell them at the cape. Hubert was immediately arrested when officers found a Class B drug and some Heroin in Hubert's room. The police then secured a Search Warrant. They executed the warrant at the home and found evidence sufficient to file a criminal complaint for Trafficking Heroin, a Class A substance.
Here is something that immediately crosses my mind when reading this article. Absent a statement from the suspect, Mr. Hubert, how do the police know that he is in fact the person who was trafficking drugs as opposed to his deceased roommate? The simple answer is that the police do not. Both the decedent and Hubert used heroin. The police arrived at the home after receiving a call about a dead body. They were not at that time investigating heroin trafficking. It appears that the only evidence that the police have relative to Hubert and drugs is his admission that he had used heroin a couple of hours earlier and that there were drugs in his room at the time of his arrest. The quantity of those drugs led authorities to charge him with possession, not trafficking. Presumably, the trafficking charges stem from items located during the execution of the Search Warrant. These items can be attributed to Hubert's roommate as easily as they can to him. I am curious to see whether or not these charges can survive a challenge on the basis of their sufficiency.
To prove Heroin Trafficking in Massachusetts the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hubert 1) possessed Heroin, 2) that he did so with the intent to distribute the substance and 3) that the weight of the Heroin satisfied the threshold required for Trafficking. Here, there is no indication that Hubert was the person who intended to sell the material, nor did the substance found appear to reach the necessary weight to charge Trafficking Heroin. The evidence against Hubert is equally applicable to the roommate under these circumstances. Both use heroin. With heroin use often comes heroin sales so that the user can support his habit. The informant's information will not likely be admissible at trial unless that person can provide information corroborating the theory that what the police found belonged to Hubert and was to be sold. I can see many scenarios where this case does not get prosecuted for anything more than simple Possession of Heroin.

Music And Ethnomusicology Louisiana Biography And Memoir Jazz African American Music
Time of My Life
A Jazz Journey from London to New Orleans
By Clive Wilson
Foreword by Thomas A. Sancton
Series: American Made Music Series
Hardcover : 9781496821171, 202 pages, 30 b&w illustrations, March 2019
An insider's riff on his jazz journey across oceans to the city that invented the music
New Orleans is a kind of Mecca for jazz pilgrims, as Whitney Balliett once wrote. This memoir tells the story of one aspiring pilgrim, Clive Wilson, who fell in love with New Orleans jazz in his early teens while in boarding school in his native England. It is also his story of gradually becoming disenchanted with his family and English environment and, ultimately, finding acceptance and a new home in New Orleans.
The timing of his arrival, at age twenty-two, just a few weeks after the signing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the end of legal segregation, placed him in a unique position with the mostly African American musicians in New Orleans. They showed him around, brought him into their lives, gave him music lessons, and even hired him to play trumpet in brass bands. In short, Wilson became more than a pilgrim; he became an apprentice, and for the first time, legally, in New Orleans, he could make that leap.
Time of My Life: A Jazz Journey from London to New Orleans tells the story of Wilson's journey as he discovers the contrast between his imagined New Orleans and its reality. Throughout, he delivers his impressions and interactions with such local musicians as "Fat Man" Williams, Manuel Manetta, Punch Miller, and Billie and DeDe Pierce. As his playing improves, invitations to play in local bands increase. Eventually, he joins in the jam and, by doing so, integrates the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, which had been in continuous existence since 1911. Except for a brief epilogue, this memoir ends in 1979, when Wilson assembles his own band for the first time, the Original Camellia Jazz Band, with musicians who had been among his heroes when he first arrived in New Orleans.
"Love for the city of New Orleans and its music flows through this book like a beautiful melody. Those who share these passions will want to have this memoir from legendary trumpeter Clive Wilson on their bookshelf. "
- Thomas Brothers, author of Louis Armstrong's New Orleans and Help! The Beatles, Duke Ellington, and the Magic of Collaboration
"Clive Wilson's Time of My Life tells the seemingly unlikely tale of an Englishman who crosses the color line and becomes accepted as a first-call traditional jazz trumpeter in New Orleans. It's an informative and entertaining memoir, full of new insight into the city's jazz scene from the mid-1960s on. "
- Bruce Boyd Raeburn, curator emeritus, Hogan Jazz Archive, Tulane University, and author of New Orleans Style and the Writing of American Jazz History
"Time of My Life: A Jazz Journey from London to New Orleans by Clive Wilson is a conscientious and enjoyable story of an Englishman's half-century of immersion in the music and culture of New Orleans. As such, it is a fine tribute to that music and culture. Wilson's memoir of a career as a trumpeter and bandleader (which includes opening for Louis Armstrong in 1970) offers valuable perspectives on the preservation of early jazz. "

One of the best reading experiences is when a book slowly and unexpectedly takes hold of your heart and whole being. Then when you finish the last page, you're left in pieces. The Book Thief is one of those books.
This novel is told through the perspective of Death during a World War II German. Death becomes intrigued with a girl named Liesel Meminger. In the beginning of the story, Liesel's mother is taking her and her little brother to live with a foster family. During the trip, Liesel's brother dies. When he was being buried, one of the cemetery workers dropped his work manual. Despite Liesel not being able to read, she sees the book and takes it. This one action marks the transformation of Liesel Meminger. You follow her journey of learning to read, to steal, to grow up fast, and how to connect with people and herself through written words.
There is a lot of hype surrounding this book. A LOT. I had no plans to read it, but I saw it at my local bookstore for only $5, so I bought it. I didn't read it for a long while. In January of this year, I felt it was time to give it ago.
I started it and thought it was a beautifully written book, but I wasn't seeing the GREATNESS that I've heard so much about. I felt like this for maybe about the first third or so of the book. However, things started to change once the character of Max, a young Jewish man that is hiding in her basement, is introduced. The relationship between him and Liesel is one that sticks with you. As their relationship grows, your feelings for the book grow. They have a very intimate relationship, and sometimes, as the reader, you feel like you're intruding. The relationship between Liesel and her father was also a special thing to witness, but not to the extent of her and Max's. Liesel's father taught her so much about life, but Max really opened Liesel's eyes, heart, and world. Writing this about Max and Liesel brings all the emotions back even 8 months later.
Speaking of characters, I love how each character was its own. No two people were the same; they all had their own distinct personalities and flaws. I love how Liesel's foster parents were portrayed: the mother is a bit of a tyrant (with a soft inside) and her father is the understanding voice of reason. Her best friend Rudy is the ambitious girl crazy neighbor boy.
The world building was great. I felt like I was a member of the neighborhood. I could picture myself wherever the story was at: the school, courtyard, basement, house. The beautiful writing definitely helped with that. Every sentence felt like it was a painting. Along with that, there are certain scene that I can still clearly see in my head because of the writing, and these scene are not particularly heartwarming either. That's just one of the many reasons this is a great book. It sticks with you.
When you finish this book you feel like your heart was ripped open, kicked on, stabbed, chewed apart, and spit back out. You know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

While the Warrior's Choice program will add emphases in coming months, the initial eleven areas of emphasis include:
Bible, Theology, and Pastoral Ministries
Pastoral Ministry and Leadership
English Literature and English Language Learner (ELL) Studies

President's Statement Recognizing Juneteenth
WASHINGTON, June 17, 2021 -- This Saturday, June 19, We acknowledge and celebrate the emancipation of the last enslaved people in the United States on June 19, 1865.
On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing that that the Civil War was over, and slavery was outlawed. Although slavery was banned by the Emancipation Proclamation two and half years earlier, many slave owners ignored the executive order and continued to hold people in bondage. With Granger's announcement, June 19 became known as the true day of African American freedom and the end of slavery in our country.
Now, 156 years later, we officially commemorate and celebrate this historic day known as Juneteenth. As with a growing number of associations, companies, and organizations across the country we will observe Juneteenth as a recognized holiday. This year, Juneteenth falls on a Saturday, and so AACAP offices will be closed Friday, June 18, in early commemoration of the day.
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry stands firm in our commitment in addressing systemic racism and racial disparities as well as systemic inequities in healthcare, education, and our community. We share a common bond and commitment as we work towards achieving equality and justice for all. The inequalities that exist in communities of color remind us of all the continuing impact that social, economic, and political disparities have on these communities.
Juneteenth is a reminder that real change, while hard, is possible. We will continue to work towards equality as a way of life that is shared by all.

Ah yes, conferences. There are so many to pick and choose from – some are huge; some are small and personal; some are virtual; others require you to travel a great distance. Selecting which events to attend can be a challenge, but there are some great choices as we head into 2019. The following are just a few of the GIS/Geo events of interest that you might wish to consider attending in 2019.
Held each spring/winter in Denver, CO, ILMF is the go-to event for all things LiDAR. ILMF is a technical conference and exhibition focused on surveying and mapping technologies including aerial, mobile, and bathymetric lidar, as well as other emerging remote sensing technologies. Take note and act fast, as the event is early this year! Additionally, ILMF is part of this year's GEO-WEEK.
This year's FedUC is really early, taking place in late January (recall, in years past it has typically been in Feb or March). This event for users, developers, partners, and Esri's government clients covers all things ArcGIS + Federal Government. While at the event, attendees can learn what's coming in the future, attend workshops, get hands-on-experience, and network with other "visionaries solving real-world problems".
Esri DevSummit has expanded to include an event coinciding with the annual Federal UC. This is a great opportunity for developers that are in D.C. for the big event to spend an extra day getting their hands dirty with the latest tools, APIs, and SDKs while also networking with other developer geeks! Attendees get the opportunity to dive into Esri's newest developer tools, before anyone else.
This important event for the utility community will bring together GIS solution providers from all over North America. Every activity at the Esri Water Conference is focused on helping water organizations get the most out of their investment in ArcGIS. Be sure to follow @esriwater on Twitter to stay informed. Best of all for any country music fans out there, this one takes place right here in our backyard in Nashville, Tennessee!
Esri's annual Geodesign Summit will continue the conversation around a holistic approach to building smarter communities. Attendees include planning professionals across all levels of government, commercial firms, academia, and nongovernmental organizations that want to learn how to prepare for geodesign and support their agencies well into the future.
EPC is an annual event put on for Esri business partners. This gathering of the Global Esri partner community is where partners can meet and collaborate with other industry architects, distributors, and the Esri management. Partner companies can get some face time with key Esri insiders and strategize on solutions and future direction for products and services. As a silver business partner, EPC is always an important event for GEO Jobe. Look for us in the exhibition hall.
DevSummit is always a big week for us, and our awesome crew of developers really look forward to this week of learning and geeking out with other developers! Why do we look forward to DevSummit each year? In addition to this being our chance to hear directly from Esri developers and software engineers, the week is also a great team building time for us, an educational opportunity, and provides some important networking. A little sunshine is always a nice bonus too!
This year the Southwest User Conference takes place on the Colorado Front Range. Colorado- and Southwest- based Esri users and customers can take advantage of two days of technical sessions, training, partner spotlights, and networking.
FOSS4G is a collaborative effort between LocationTech and OSGeo, powered by community volunteers: FOSS4G NA is an annual conference for people who work with, or are interested in working with, free and open source geospatial software. It brings together a mix of developers, users, decision makers, and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation for three days of workshops, presentations, and discussions.
The TNGIC (Tennessee Geographic Information Council) was established in 1994 to improve the connection between the various agencies working with GIS in Tennessee. Look for some of the GEO Jobe Nashville crew at this event!
The Esri User Conference (ESRIUC) hardly needs an introduction; this is the largest gathering of Esri users, solution providers, and technologists in the world. ESRIUC is a long, busy week on all things Esri and ArcGIS. Attendees can show up early and attend all-day training offered on Saturday and Sunday before the busy week begins. Throughout the week, there are more than a thousand hours of sessions and training! Special interest groups will meet all week long, and Esri partners and solution providers offer networking opportunities, meetings, and training. When the training and learning are done, attendees can spend hours in the massive exhibition hall to mingle with other users and meet industry experts and Esri technical teams. Pack some comfortable shoes for this one!
The Esri Education GIS Conference is the premier meeting for instructors and administrators who use GIS in educational institutions. This year's theme is "Digital Transformation Changing Our World". The EDU community are HUGE users of Admin Tools for ArcGIS and we are glad to support and promote this a fine event that brings together educators that are promoting GIS best practices and geographic literacy.
The International Conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial changes location every year. This year, the event is being hosted in Romania. The annual FOSS4G conference is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software. FOSS4G brings together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.
InterDrone is a three-day UAV conference and expo hall filled with more than two hundred unmanned system manufacturers and sellers. This event is all things UAV, sUAS, LiDAR, and more. Additionally, this is the largest commercial drone event in North America.
Colorado's premier regional event, GIS in the Rockies brings together GIS and mapping professionals from around the Front Range for two days. Historically, attendees have included representatives from local, state, and federal government, the utility industries, environmental services, land surveying professionals, the oil and gas industry, students, educational practitioners, and retail and business marketing professionals. September is a great time to visit Colorado, and this event also offers some good networking and training opportunities.
URISA's annual GIS-Pro event is THE conference for GIS professionals, with offerings and solutions for professionals at all stages of their careers. URISA's vision of fostering excellence in GIS, connecting people and resources in our geospatial community brings together an amazing group of GIS professionals at GIS-Pro to discuss challenges, find solutions, and network with the best in our industry. See you in N'Orleans!
A popular, must-attend event for professionals interested in UAV mapping technologies. Sessions and training focus on 3D data, drone mapping, and related technologies. The education programs focus on UAS integration and operation in select commercial markets. In addition to industry-specific breakouts, topics will include workflow integration, security/counter-drone technology, IPP, robotics, UTM, LAANC, and more.
This important annual event, organized by the Mississippi Association for Spatial Technologies (MAST), runs for two days. The Mississippi Geospatial Conference features networking, a social event, exhibitors, and a number of presentations designed for geospatial technology professionals, students, and geotech enthusiasts. MAST has over a hundred participants and members from a number of industry groups, including software developers, environmental technicians and managers, economic developers, facility managers, oceanographers, city and county planners, tax mappers, 911 Coordinators, GIS specialists, and more. This event is always a great chance to meet members of the Geo Jobe Center for Research and Engineering, as many of them will be in attendance.
We look forward to meeting many of you in person at an event in 2019!


WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Researchers have developed a technique that might be used to produce "soft machines" made of elastic materials and liquid metals for potential applications in robotics, medical devices and consumer electronics.
The findings are detailed in a research paper appearing this week in the journal Advanced Functional Materials and is featured on the journal's inside front cover. The paper was authored by postdoctoral research associate J. William Boley; doctoral student Edward L. White; George T.C. Chiu, a professor of mechanical engineering; and Kramer.
In this paper, a direct writing method for gallium-indium alloys is presented. The relationships between nozzle inner diameter, standoff distance, flow rate, and the resulting trace geometry are demonstrated. The interaction between the gallium oxide layer and the substrate is critically important in understanding the printing behavior of the liquid metal. The difference between receding and advancing contact angles demonstrates that the adhesion of the oxide layer to the substrate surface is stronger than the wetting of the surface by the gallium-indium alloy. This further demonstrates why free-standing structures such as the traces described herein can be realized. In addition to the basic characterization of the direct writing process, a design algorithm that is generalizable to a range of trace geometries is developed. This method is applied to the fabrication of an elastomer-encapsulated strain gauge that displays an approximately linear behavior through 50 percent strain with a gauge factor of 1.5.

Q: Animate lines within circle - matplotlib I'm trying to animate lines using matplotlib. I can animate a circle and some scatter points but I'm trying to add lines using a changing angle. Using below, I determine the orientation of X2, Y2 at each point in time to determine the direction. I then want to plot to lines that display this direction. They essentially split the circle up into 4 equal segments. I've inserted each frame individually below. I've entered a compass as a reference.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import animation

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (8,8))
ax.set_xlim(-20,20)
ax.set_ylim(-20,20)
ax.grid(False)

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Time' : [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3],
    'id' : ['A','B','C','D','A','B','C','D','A','B','C','D'],
    'X1' : [1,8,0,-5,1,1,-6,0,1,8,0,-5],
    'Y1' : [-5,2,-5,2,5,-5,-2,2,-5,2,-5,2],
    'X2' : [0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,0],
    'Y2' : [0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
    'Rotation' : [0,0,0,0,-0.78,-0.78,-0.78,-0.78,1.57,1.57,1.57,1.57],
    'Angle' : [0,0,0,0,-45,-45,-45,-45,90,90,90,90],
    })

points_x = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['X1'].apply(list))
points_y = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['Y1'].apply(list))

# scatter points
points = ax.scatter(points_x[2], points_y[2], c = 'blue', marker = '*')

moving_x = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['X2'].apply(list))
moving_y = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['Y2'].apply(list))

# scatter moving
moving_point = ax.scatter(moving_x[2], moving_y[2], c = 'black', marker = 'x')

# Array of immediate congestion radius coordinates
radius = df.drop_duplicates(subset = ['Time','X2', 'Y2'])[['X2', 'Y2']].values

# Plot immediate congestion radius
circle = plt.Circle(radius[2], 10, color = 'black', fill = False)

# Add radius to plot
ax.add_patch(circle)

t = df['Angle'][0]
line1, = ax.plot([0, 0],[0,t], color = 'b', linewidth = 1)

def animate(i) :

    circle.center = (radius[i,0], radius[i,1])

    line1.set_data([i, i],[0,t])

    points.set_offsets(np.c_[points_x[0+i], points_y[0+i]])
    moving_point.set_offsets(np.c_[moving_x[0+i], moving_y[0+i]])

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate,  np.arange(0,2), blit = False)

If I split the frames up individually, I'm hoping they display the following:
Frame 1:

Frame 2:

Frame 3:

Edit 2:

A: In order to handle datasets beyond the toy dataset in your post, I put everything for creating an animation into the function animate. Since I'm not familiar with the dataset you are working with (for example I don't know what Rotation  does), the script below is the best I can do.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import animation

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Time' : [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3],
    'id' : ['A','B','C','D','A','B','C','D','A','B','C','D'],
    'X1' : [1,8,0,-5,1,1,-6,0,1,8,0,-5],
    'Y1' : [-5,2,-5,2,5,-5,-2,2,-5,2,-5,2],
    'X2' : [0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,0],
    'Y2' : [0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
    'Rotation' : [0,0,0,0,-0.78,-0.78,-0.78,-0.78,1.57,1.57,1.57,1.57],
    'Angle' : [0,0,0,0,-45,-45,-45,-45,90,90,90,90],
    })

# the scattered points in the compass
points_x = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['X1'].apply(list))
points_y = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['Y1'].apply(list))

# the center of the compass
moving_x = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['X2'].apply(list))
moving_y = np.array(df.groupby(['Time'])['Y2'].apply(list))

radius = df.drop_duplicates(subset = ['Time','X2', 'Y2'])[['X2', 'Y2']].values
angles = df['Angle'].unique()

rot_mat = lambda theta:np.array([
    [np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta)),-np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta))],
    [np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta)),np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta))]
])

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (8,8))

def animate(i) :

    ax.clear()
    ax.set_xlim(-20,20)
    ax.set_ylim(-20,20)

    points = ax.scatter(points_x[i]+radius[i][0], points_y[i]+radius[i][1], c = 'blue', marker = '*')
    moving_point = ax.scatter(moving_x[i],moving_y[i], c = 'black', marker = 'x')

    circle = plt.Circle(radius[i], 10, color = 'black', fill = False)
    ax.add_patch(circle)

    ends_one = np.array([[-7.07106781,7.07106781],[7.07106781,-7.07106781]])
    ends_two = np.array([[-7.07106781,-7.07106781],[7.07106781,7.07106781]])
    ends_one = ends_one @ rot_mat(angles[i]) + radius[i]
    ends_two = ends_two @ rot_mat(angles[i]) + radius[i]
    line1, = ax.plot([], [], ls='--', color='black',lw=1, zorder=10,animated=True)
    line2, = ax.plot([], [], ls='--', color='black',lw=1, zorder=10,animated=True)
    line1.set_data([ends_one[0][0],ends_one[1][0]],[ends_one[0][1],ends_one[1][1]])
    line2.set_data([ends_two[0][0],ends_two[1][0]],[ends_two[0][1],ends_two[1][1]])

    tags = ['N','E','S','W']
    tag_pos = np.array([[0,8.5],[8.5,0],[0,-8.5],[-8.5,0]])
    tag_pos = tag_pos @ rot_mat(angles[i])
    for tag,pos in zip(tags,tag_pos):
        ax.annotate(tag,xy=pos+radius[i], xycoords='data',
                    fontsize=10,horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='bottom')

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, np.arange(0,3), blit = False)
ani.save('test.gif', writer='pillow', fps=3)

As you can see, coordinates can be passed iteratively into the function animate to generate frames of a compass. After you run this script, you will get a gif file test.gif, which can be previewed

Remove text of past frames
There are two ways you can do this
1. If you are using a function to create animation
put ax.clear() at the beginning of the function, for example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation

rot_mat = lambda theta:np.array([
    [np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta)),-np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta))],
    [np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta)),np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta))]
])

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (8,8))

centers = np.linspace(1,36,36).reshape(18,2)*0.2
angles = np.linspace(45,90,18)

def animate(i) :

    ax.clear()
    ax.set_xlim(-20,20)
    ax.set_ylim(-20,20)

    circle = plt.Circle(centers[i], 10, color = 'black', fill = True)
    circle.set_facecolor('violet')
    ax.add_patch(circle)

    tags = ['N','E','S','W']
    tag_pos = np.array([[0,8.5],[8.5,0],[0,-8.5],[-8.5,0]])
    tag_pos = tag_pos @ rot_mat(angles[i])
    for tag,pos in zip(tags,tag_pos):
        ax.annotate(tag,xy=pos+centers[i], xycoords='data',
                    fontsize=10,horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='bottom')

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, np.arange(0,18), blit = False)
ani.save('test.gif', writer='pillow', fps=18)

This will create a gif like this

2. If you are not using a function to create animation
You need to manually remove the text, for example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation

rot_mat = lambda theta:np.array([
    [np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta)),-np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta))],
    [np.sin(np.deg2rad(theta)),np.cos(np.deg2rad(theta))]
])

centers = np.linspace(1,36,36).reshape(18,2)*0.2
angles = np.linspace(45,90,18)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (8,8))
ax.set_xlim(-20,20)
ax.set_ylim(-20,20)

circle = plt.Circle(centers[0], 10, color = 'black', fill = True)
circle.set_facecolor('violet')
ax.add_patch(circle)

annotates = []
tags = ['N','E','S','W']
tag_pos = np.array([[0,8.5],[8.5,0],[0,-8.5],[-8.5,0]])
tag_pos = tag_pos @ rot_mat(angles[0])
for tag,pos in zip(tags,tag_pos):
    ann = ax.annotate(tag,xy=pos+centers[0], xycoords='data',
                      fontsize=10,horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='bottom')
    annotates.append(ann)

for i in range(18):

    circle.center = centers[i]
    # remove the previous text
    for item in annotates: item.remove()
    annotates = []

    tag_pos = tag_pos @ rot_mat(angles[i])
    for tag,pos in zip(tags,tag_pos):
        ann = ax.annotate(tag,xy=pos+centers[i], xycoords='data',
                          fontsize=10,horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='bottom')
        annotates.append(ann)

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, np.arange(0,18), blit = False)
ani.save('test.gif', writer='pillow', fps=18)

as you can see, with this line of code for item in annotates: item.remove(), the text of a previous frame are removed. Therefore, by running this script, you will also get

A: A new point (x′,y′) is obtained by rotating an existing point (x,y), θ radians around the point (cx, cy) by performing translation, rotation, and a translation operation using the following formula:
x′ = (  (x - cx) * cos(θ) + (y - cy) * sin(θ) ) + cx
y′ = ( -(x - cx) * sin(θ) + (y - cy) * cos(θ) ) + cy

This is the gaming mode which is quite popular than other gaming modes. In this mode two teams with the member of five will be fighting in order to destroy Nexus. The Nexus is nothing but the buildings of the opponent. The most important thing which is to be noted is the players must defend their tower and as well as must destroy the tower of their enemy. Hence this will be the most challenging thing to handle. The beginners will feel it more challenged when compared to that of the experienced players.
This gaming mode is also similar to that of the summoner's rift. The players must destroy the building of the opponent. The only thing is in this mode, three players will be in active. That is instead of five, three players on each side will be competing to destroy the building of their enemy. Apart from this, there are other small differences which make it different from Summoner's rift.
This mode is to be used for playing ARAM. And five players from each team will be engaged in the game. This mode involves only one narrow lane of inhibitor and turrets. This mode focuses on the middle lane which involves very large team fights.
It is to be noted that this gaming mode was active in the beginning and now they have been removed during the updates. In this mode, five players will be fighting with the opponent in order to attain the control points and they will also put forth more effort to maintain these points for a longer time period.

College Basketball Stock Watch, Week 10: Illinois State on the rise, West Virginia slips
NCAABy Eli Hershkovich on January 20, 2017 January 20, 2017
In another thrilling week of college basketball, numerous top 25-ranked teams nearly sagged down to the level of defeat. Among their upset-minded opponents, a pair of them seem to be solidifying an at-large bid into the Big Dance come March.
For starters, Virginia Tech, who has missed out on March Madness since its last appearance in 2007, came close to knocking off No. 15-ranked Notre Dame in a 76-71 loss on Saturday. Led by ex-Marquette head coach Buzz Williams, the Hokies (14-4, 3-3), already own a victory against No. 18 Duke, too. Then, there's No. 24-ranked South Carolina, who defeated No. 19 Florida 57-53 on Wednesday, thanks to recently reinstated Sindarius Thornwell's 20-point effort.
However, neither of these schools will find themselves in The Comeback's College Basketball Stock Watch. Instead, a different program, along with a player, make a significant jump upwards while another duo embark on a hard collision with the ground.
Stock Up:
Birds win!@Redbird_MBB defeats Wichita State, 76-62.
MiKyle McIntosh with the exclamation point!#BackTheBirds pic.twitter.com/VyMyDOhLXi
— RedbirdHD.tv (@RedbirdHDTV) January 15, 2017
Illinois State (unranked in either poll)
If you're staring at the screen and thinking this selection stemmed from a typo, don't fret. Although the Redbirds have endured a 17-year NCAA tournament drought, head coach Dan Muller currently possesses a unit capable of snapping that skid. Its talent was on full-display in Saturday's 76-62 victory over Wichita State (16-4, 6-1 MVC), who placed first in the Missouri Valley Conference in five of the past six seasons.
In the win, ISU (15-4, 7-0) exhibited its defensive prowess, holding the Shockers to a 34.9 percent clip from the field. Surprisingly, Muller's squad ranks fourth in Division I in the aforementioned category (37 percent). Additionally, the Redbirds sit No. 16 in the country in defensive efficiency (.85 points per possession). Even in a mid-major conference, their commitment to that end of the floor can't be ignored.
Senior guard Paris Lee is one of the primary defensive enforcers, collecting 2.2 steals per contest. On Wednesday, he notched single-game high six steals in a 69-49 win over Bradley. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder also ranks third on the team in scoring (13.1 ppg), behind forwards Deontae Hawkins (14.8 ppg) and MiKyle McIntosh (13.9 ppg). Expect the balanced bunch to continue to soar through the remainder of the conference slate.
Markelle Fultz, Washington
Despite many already anticipating that the freshmen sensation will go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft, the Huskies guard is still discovering ways to cultivate fans. Per usual, generating a heap of points usually does the trick.
Over the previous two games, Fultz averaged 35.5 points per contest, including a season-high 37 points in a double overtime victory against Colorado. More impressively, none of the 6-foot-4, 194-pounder's made field goals came from behind the three-point line. Instead, he consistently attacked the lane to create both for himself and others, even with the Huskies (9-9, 2-4 Pac-12) trailing by 15 points in the second half. In total, the guard amassed eight assists.
On top of that, Washington has seemingly built a reputation as one of the worst defensive teams in the country, yielding 78.5 points per contest (No. 284 in the nation). Hence, Fultz normally needs to carry the load, which translates to his 314 field goal attempts (No. 14 in DI). Within that number, a mere 14.5 percent of his two-point makes have been assisted, exhibiting the Maryland native's ability to truly produce on his own at a high clip (48.9 percent overall).
Just like Ben Simmons last season, though, college basketball junkies will most likely watch another star miss out on the Big Dance due to a weak supporting cast.
Stock Down:
West Virginia (tied for No. 7 in AP Top 25, No. 8 in coaches' poll)
Entering their contest with Oklahoma on Wednesday evening, the Mountaineers (15-4, 4-2 Big 12) stood at No. 1 within KenPom.com's rankings. Nevertheless, they struggled to slow down the Sooners' youthful offense in a 89-87 overtime defeat.
Throughout the season, West Virginia's full-court press has induced its opponents into 23.6 turnovers per game (No. 1 in the country). Yet the Sooners only supplied 12 of them, looking unfazed by head coach Bob Huggins' patented tactic. Plus, Oklahoma somehow found its way back into the game after facing a 15-point deficit with under nine minutes to go. Given the Mountaineers' reliance on the aforementioned strategy, they can't afford to loosen up at any moment.
Earlier in the week, the group almost let the subpar Longhorns (7-10, 1-4) add onto its misery in a tightly contested 74-72 win. In the matchup, Texas racked up 19 turnovers yet still hung around without leading-scorer Tevin Mack (14.8 ppg), who sat out because of a suspension.
On the bright side, thanks in large part to guard Jevon Carter (11.8 ppg), the Mountaineers are tied for sixth in the nation in offensive efficiency (1.16 points per possession). But if they can't sustain their turnover-oriented success, another short-stint in March Madness could be on the horizon.
Maurice Watson Jr., Creighton
Arguably the top point guard in DI, Watson Jr. will be forced to sit out the remainder of his final collegiate season via a torn ACL, which he suffered in a five-point win over Xavier on Monday. Previously, the senior was excelling in head coach Greg McDermott's run-and-gun system, ranking No. 1 in the country in assists per game (8.5).
Creighton's Maurice Watson Jr. tells Nick Bahe that he's received messages of support from the likes of Nigel Hayes & Harry Giles, etc.
— Rob Anderson (@_robanderson) January 19, 2017
Moreover, Creighton possesses the nation's second-best effective field goal percentage (60.2), which puts added value into threes. Watson Jr. weaved himself into that category quite well, shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 46.9 percent behind the arc. Considering the Philadelphia native's three-point clip was drooping more than 17 percent lower a campaign ago, his commitment to pushing the Bluejays into the class of the elites was evident. Currently, they're tied with the Mountaineers for seventh in the AP Top 25, as well as sitting eighth in the coaches' poll.
"He (Watson Jr.) really is the engine that makes us go," McDermott said in an interview with The Comeback in December. "Without him, we're not the same team."
In order to make a run in the NCAA tournament, Creighton (18-1, 5-1 Big East) must have another playmaker emerge. Guard Khyri Thomas, who's averaging the second-most assists (2.6) on the team, could help fill the void. Nonetheless, the unfortunate injury may have cost Watson Jr. a shot at playing in the NBA.

Couscous salad is a staple of the Mediterranean diet in some areas of the region.
There are so many variations on this Middle Eastern salad recipe. I make several variations, depending on what I have in the fridge.
This particular recipe shows you how to cook couscous if you have never done it before.
Pour hot water over couscous and let sit until absorbed and cool.
In a small bowl mix the chick peas, red pepper, green onions, carrot, olives and feta cheese.
In a blender puree the mint leaves, garlic, mustard and sugar. Add the vinegar and olive oil while the machine is running.
In a large bowl combine the cooled couscous, vegetables and dressing. Serve cooled or at room temperature. Garnish with more fresh mint leaves if desired.
The sugar is optional and you really can leave it out. It does give the dish a slightly sweeter flavor and melds the flavors together well. I leave it out myself. You may want to use a bit less mustard if you want it less tangy without adding the sugar.
Cooking cous cous is SO easy. It's perfect for both seasoned and first time cooks.
Simply measure out the cous cous, place it in a heat proof bowl and pour boiling liquid over it. Leave it to sit for 5 minutes, then just uncover it and fluff it with a fork. It's cooked and ready to add delicious flavors.
I usually use whole wheat couscous. It is just that little bit healthier.
I also pour boiling broth over it instead of boiling water. I think it adds to the taste of any salad you make out of it if it has a bit of extra flavor to start with. You can use either a vegetable broth or chicken broth, depending on your preference and what you may have on hand.
I am a great believer in cooking with what I have on hand whenever possible. You can add all sorts of vegetables to this recipe. The more colorful the better in terms of both healthy nutrition and a pretty plate.
If you are looking for vegetarian recipes that are healthy and filling, this one hits the spot.
The addition of chick peas to the salad gives it lots of body and makes it quite filling. That and the feta cheese add protein to the dish.
I think you will find the mix of flavors really appealing. The Kalamata olives, mustard and feta give the salad a bit of a tang, while the mint cools it down.
The vegetables add both crunch and added nutrition. Using extra virgin olive oil adds to the nutritional value too.
This fabulous Middle Eastern couscous salad is just one of fantastic salad recipes. Find the collection here.


Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder that is more prevalent than some people think. It can affect anyone, even a child. Treatment usually includes some kind of therapy to relieve anxiety and eventually stop the compulsive behaviors. Now there's a new way to treat OCD: with an app! Most kids today are comfortable and confident using electronic devices, so it seems promising. The price is steep, but so far the results of using the app with therapy are good. There's a version for adults as well as one for children.

OPINION: Kenya football woes-FKF should take blame for failing to convince the Government and fans
Zachary Oguda
Kenya national women team-the Harambee Starlets-might forfeit their Olympic Qualifier against Zambia due to lack of funds. The same unavailable funds have now put the 2021 African Cup of Nations Qualifier between Harambee Stars and Egypt in jeopardy.
The Football Kenya Federation through President Nick Mwendwa, in a presser on Tuesday, said that the circumstances were due to the lack of government support in facilitating the two national teams. There has been a tug of war between the two factions with the government requesting FKF to furnish them with the 2019 AFCON audit after they released more than Ksh 200 M towards the same.
FKF claims that they have done so but the government is clinging on one issue. If they budgeted for the entire championship until the final and Harambee Stars were ousted in the group stage, then they ought to have received some money back and the war doesn't seem to be ending soon; fans nodding in unison.
Yes. It is the responsibility of the Government (through Sports Fund) to facilitate Federations (all sports federations not FKF alone). Yes. Mwendwa has a right to complain when he can't receive the money but he needs to be asked questions too.
Government History
When getting into the office Mwendwa knew the Government history with sports in this country. He knew that theirs' has always been a lack of goodwill to the hardworking sportsmen in this country. He knew this body would cheer their victories the most and hide when they needed help. These are the same reasons why, under TEAM CHANGE, Nick promised to give football an attractive image to lure investors.
In their campaigns, they said that we had no goodwill from the Government-he's complaining about now-because one Sam Nyamweya had given football a bad image and there was no one interested in working with him from the cooperate world. Four years down the line and the same cooperates have shunned him.
The same Nick knew that the over 200+M given by the government when his regime led us to the 2019 AFCON had to come and bite at some point. The government can't release such amounts and play low when they squeeze other federations. We all know how they behave. He has said their financiers have the report of how money was used in preparation for that tournament hosted in Egypt but anyone would know they didn't give a good show with the money given.
We all saw busy bodies ferried to escape the humid conditions we had here for the French cold and then ferried again to Cairo to practice Haree Krishna hymns using the same amounts. I'm ashamed they couldn't offer us a rendition last Sunday during the Diwali festival. My point is books can be balanced; it's an act learned in school by the people you call accountants on these streets. The government isn't stupid.
AFCON bonuses
At AFCON, each team that qualified was entitled to receive $260,000 as preparation money. All teams knocked out from the group stage had $475,000 waiting for them. Add that amount to the amount the government gave and the money from Betin and you realize someone isn't being serious.
Mwendwa should tell us if he has a marketing team. If YES, he should tell us why they are on a payroll and if NO, he should inform the public why he's not employed any. Uganda's FUFA, with all the government support for national teams, has more than five sponsors for their teams.
They are actively involved with the ladies' team. FUFA has just funded the teams flying their flag for continental duties. Can you people ask Nick what he has done for Bandari and Gor Mahia?

Few names resonate in trance music like the name Markus Schulz, so when he speaks, the people listen. Last weekend he put an exclamation point on his sold out Scream Tour, providing an eight-hour journey for a packed house at club Avalon in Tinsel Town. Prior to the show he took some time out to allude to what fans can look forward to in the coming months and apparently there's much to be excited about.
The initial concept of the Scream Tour was to bring a "big city production to some of the smaller markets in the US." Seeing cities like Albuquerque and Tulsa without the means to put on a big production like you might find in NY or LA inspired Schulz to provide fans in those types of areas with big booming shows that normally aren't possible. The result was overwhelmingly successful. Cities like Washington DC and Philadelphia provided such memorable shows that the logical thing to do was to keep the Scream team rolling along with more dates in the fall.
The Scream Tour not only left those who attended with some epic memories, but they also inspired a slew of new tracks that will be featured on the Scream II album and tour. All the writing that took place on the road will add some big sounds to a set list that already includes favorites like "ID," "Love Rain Down on Me" and a Markus Schulz remix of the classic track "Solarcoaster," which he describes as "a classic and timeless melody" that always blows the fans away.
With classic rock a staple in his own personal listening rotation, Schulz cited Pink Floyd's music and concerts as a predominant inspiration throughout his career, referencing the classic album Dark Side of the Moon as a reoccurring influence.
Besides having the road and classic rock as influences, Shulz's collaboration with Ferry Corsten as New World Punx has provided ample creative fuel recently. "After spending time with Ferry Corsten we realized how similar we are. We have so much fun in the studio, high fiving each other like 'Listen to this!'" Feeling that trance has a tendency to get too serious sometimes, Schulz's goal is to keep it fun on tour and in the studio, resulting in the kind of music that will lift you up and inspire.
After being voted America's #1 DJ by DJ Times magazine and Pioneer DJ, the Scream Tour was initially billed as a sort of victory tour. But Schulz views Scream as more of a thank you tour, giving back to the fans who have inspired so much.
And we're lucky to have you Markus.
Be sure to check out Scream II album and tour date info at markusshulz.com and stay tuned to Sirious satellite radio for new tracks being released.


On behalf of Ihrie O'Brien posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, February 22, 2017.
A tragic two-car accident is being investigated by the Michigan State Police after it left one person dead in Bruce Township.
The officers who initially responded were from the Metro North Post, and they got the call about the crash right around 4:35 in the afternoon on a Wednesday in early February. The wreck was near 34 Mile and Van Dyke Avenue. The vehicles involved were actually fairly similar, a pair of mid-sized SUVs. One was a 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and the other was a 2000 Chevy Blazer.
According to reports -- though the investigation is still ongoing and new information could come to light -- it appears that the TrailBlazer was on Van Dyke, going north, when it drifted over the center line and into oncoming traffic. The road was curving east, and police said that the head-on crash happened right at that curve -- perhaps indicating that the Trailblazer simply continued going straight as the road turned in front of the car, putting it in the path of the Blazer.
The driver of the Trailblazer was injured in the wreck. Those injuries were described as non-life-threatening, though the driver did wind up in the hospital.
The 57-year-old woman in the Blazer, though, was killed in the crash. Authorities announced that she'd passed away at the scene. She was from Imlay City.
Again, this is an ongoing case, but the police do not think at this time that either driver had been drinking alcohol.
Losing a loved one in a car accident is sudden and heart-wrenching, something no one ever really expects or prepares for. If this happens to you, remember that you may be able to seek compensation, which can help with funeral costs, medical bills, lost income, and more during this difficult time.


It's going to take all month to get from A to Z.
Raizel just wants to get to the capitol to pay her taxes and register her family for the census.
Somehow, that's going to take all month.
Note: Side Quest is unfinished, with no recent updates. It contains some harsh language.
Quest for Awesomeness and Hilarity!
Oct 29, 2017: Have you ever been involved in a game (or hell, even in real life) where you had a main goal? Maybe you wanted to make a sandwich and watch a movie, or finish the report you were working on and turn it it, or maybe get to the capitol city, turn in your family's census papers, and pay the taxes your family owes. But somehow, every step of the way, yet another person shows up who wants you to do something Ever So Important, for which they will, of course, Recompense You Well? If so, you will want to read Side Quest immediately.
You will completely identify with the main character, Raizel, whose task is to get to the capitol city to turn in her family's paperwork, but from the moment she leaves her town, is beset on all sides with people wanting her to do sometimes mundane, but often outrageous and legendary things. To be fair, she does begin by doing some legendary things, but how much can one world expect of a woman who has a task she needs to get done? Quite a lot, as it turns out.
The story has been a combination of a thrill ride and a hilarious recounting of just how wrong you can go while just trying to further your main quest and being forced in one way or another, or choosing to take on "just one more thing!" as you go your way. I also really liked the way the author skillfully introduces her world in bits and bites as we accompany Raizel on her (as it turns out) epic battle to just get to the capitol to turn in her taxes.
I highly recommend this story to anyone who's participated in quest-based gaming of any kind, because you'll laugh and shake your head in turns, and for anyone who likes fantasy or comedic stories. Enjoy . . . I did!

Television Review: "How To with John Wilson" — Fascinating Adventures on the Fly
By Sarah Osman
In this brilliant series, documentary filmmaker John Wilson captures the absurdity of life in New York.
Filmmaker John Wilson in a scene from HBO's How To with John Wilson.
Nathan for You was one of the most bizarre yet engrossing comedies to ever air on television. Starring Nathan Fielder, who "graduated from one of Canada's top business schools with really good grades," the series followed Fielder as he attempted to help small businesses. His ideas were zany, ranging from suggesting that a frozen yogurt shop sell poop flavored fro-yo to embarking on an epic trip to help an old man reunite with his long lost love. Nathan for You was cringeworthy, hilarious, and at times oddly poignant — the series often had more to say about the human condition and life in Los Angeles than most serious dramas.
It's not surprising that How To with John Wilson, which is executive produced by Fielder, has a similarly eccentric vision. The series, which airs Fridays on HBO, follows documentary filmmaker John Wilson as he captures the absurdity of life in New York. Each episode focuses on a single theme, such as "How to put up Scaffolding" to "How to Cover Your Furniture." Wilson tries to remain focused on the single task but, as he meets more people along the way, the episodes veer off into funny as well as unexpected directions. Much of the show's magic comes from the zigs and zags of serendipity: what starts off as a simple project, such as how to have small talk, shifts into Wilson sitting with a so-called "child predator capturer," who educates Wilson on how exactly he goes about his job. This interaction leads Wilson to Spring Break in Cancun, where he struggles to fit in with the partiers. He eventually finds solace with a fellow introvert who came to Spring Break to find love. As the series goes on, Wilson finds himself popping up in other unforeseen situations, such as a Mandela Effect Conference and with a man naked from the waist down (I don't want to reveal the surprise of that confab).
While many of these encounters are amusing because of how bizarre they are, each meeting eventually generates serious questions about society. The Mandela Effect conference episode interrogates the ambiguous nature of memory and why we choose to remember what we do; a piece on scaffolding muses on how it can serve as a metaphor for things that, at first intended to be temporary, grow to be a vital part of our lives (ironically, we are now facing this with Covid). None of these issues are explicitly stated, nor does Wilson ever attempt to recap what he has learned. His "lessons" are delivered in a perfectly neutral tone, which only makes them funnier — and more powerful.
Ironically, we very rarely see Wilson (sans shots of his feet and hands). How To … is presented entirely from Wilson's point of view, which is in direct contrast with Nathan for You, where we saw Nathan and how he interacted with those around him (whether they were angry or unsure how to handle him). We never see Wilson's expressions; his subjects seem rather happy to talk right to the camera. In this sense, Wilson is not the series' protagonist. He is more of a sounding board whose musings and discoveries are made all the more interesting because they come from such a detached place.
While How To… ventures outside of New York, most of the series was filmed pre-Covid. It's more than a little jarring to compare a city so vibrant (and delightfully strange) to the New York of today. I would love to see Wilson film an episode in Los Angeles, my hometown, or Boston, but he seems to have an intuitive symbiosis with the Big Apple. Wilson's shots of New York really do capture what makes it …well, New York. The result is a show that you don't want to look away from. I have the habit of writing while I watch TV, but How To with John Wilson demanded my full attention. There are so many quicksilver cutaway shots, each one more brilliant than the last.
How To with John Wilson's season finale was a complete triumph, somehow bringing together all the odd segues and subjects while reminding us of how fleeting our lives can be, the indispensability of each moment. The entire series came together in the end. Here's hoping that it was a respite rather than a termination. Wilson richly deserves a shot at a second season – there are so many other adventures worth taking on the fly.

Q: how can i make cucumber test on multiple 'a' tag with image this is my view code where i have make multiple 'a' tag and want to test third element from li. and we can uniquely identified with offer id as per below code ...

       Artist 1
       Remaining Time: 7 days

and i have tried make one step defination ... it is working fine with cucumber but when execute with selenium (WebDriver) then page not open after click.
Scenario:
When I press third offer
Then I should see "YOUR OFFER"

and its step defination file
When /^I press third offer$/ do
  page.execute_script %Q{ $(".search_data_outer_div ul li .image_area a").eq(2).click(); }
end

let me know right solution if anybody can help
thanks

A: IIRC CSS style selectors have issues with some version of Web Driver.  Ideally you'd have PageObject variables set up for this so you're not using raw webdriver code in your steps but something like this should work:
browser.div( :class => 'search_data_outer_div').div( :class => 'image_area').links.first.click


Routinely when I have my RE/MAX balloon pin on my shirt or jacket, people ask about the real estate market. Last week at the supermarket, the butcher asked how things were going and if people are buying. A couple weeks ago a woman asked me what it costs to sell a home in Spain. Of course, one of the most frequent questions is always about the costs of buying a home.
After giving it a bit of thought, I have decided to organize "RE/MAX Coffee Time" each Wednesday afternoon in May from 4pm to 5pm giving anyone the opportunity to come in and ask real estate related questions. You bring the questions, and we will supply the coffee and work hard to resolve your questions.
I´m thinking about selling, what do I need?
What are the costs involved in selling my property?
What should I keep in mind if I am thinking about buying a property in Spain?
What are the costs involved in purchasing a home in Spain?
What are the costs involved in home ownership?
I´ve decided to sell, what can I do to make my home more appealing to a potential buyer?
Can´t make the scheduled RE/MAX Coffee Time, but still have questions? No problem. Just send us an email and we´d be happy to meet with you.
If you have ever thought about a career in real estate, or are already a professional looking to expand your career, we welcome you to talk to us at RE/MAX Beach Homes or to one of our agents. Our agents are self employed, and receive some of the highest commissions available.
