Q: using BeautifulSoup and web scraping to automate web form fill outs I am trying to use BeautifulSoup(or another web scraping API) to automate web forms.  For example, on the login page of Facebook there is also a registration form so lets say i want to fill out this form through automation.  So i would need to be able to find the relevant html tags(such as the inputs for first name, last name, etc) and then i would want to take all of that input and push a request to Facebook to make that account, how would this be done?

A: Even I am beginner in the scraping, I was facing these problems too. To carry out basic scraping operations we can use beautiful soup. While learning more about scraping I came across "Scrapy" tool. We can use Scrapy for many more functionality like you specified. Try out Scrapy here. This is recommended by many professional web scraper .

As of October 17, 2018, cannabis is legal in Canada. The Cannabis Act ensures a strict legal framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale, and possession of cannabis. It is subject to provincial or territorial restrictions. In British Columbia , the legal age to possess or use cannabis is 19 years of age or older.
Legal cannabis products are available through authorized provincial or territorial retailers. In British Columbia, local, provincial and federal laws dictate how and where residents can purchase, distribute and legally use or consume cannabis.
The Cannabis Act is intended to prevent youth from accessing cannabis and to attempt to displace the illegal cannabis market. It establishes rigid rules regarding age restrictions and access to quality-controlled cannabis, and implements a tightly regulated supply chain.
In B.C., the government restricts cannabis sales to government-run stores, licensed private retailers, and the B.C. government's online store.
possess a maximum of 30 grams of legal cannabis, in dried form, or the equivalent in non-dried form, in public.
share a maximum of 30 grams of legal cannabis with other adults, 18 years of age or older in public.
at home, residents can possess a maximum of one kilogram, which is based on the yield someone could expect to get from the four cannabis plants allowed in a household.
purchase dried or fresh cannabis and cannabis oil from provincially-licensed retailers.
residents in provinces or territories without a regulated retail framework are able to purchase cannabis online from federally-licensed producers.
grow a maximum of 4 cannabis plants per residence for personal use from licensed seed or seedlings.
Other products, including edible products and concentrates, will be legal for sale approximately one year after the Cannabis Act has come into effect.
Possession, production, and distribution that does not abide by the laws outlined by The Cannabis Act remain illegal and are subject to criminal penalties ranging from ticketing up to a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment.
The Cannabis Act establishes serious criminal penalties for those who sell or provide cannabis to youth, as well as harsh penalties for those who use youth to commit a cannabis offence.
In order to protect the health and safety of underage residents, The Cannabis Act prohibits products that are appealing to youth including packaging, labelling or promoting cannabis to target and entice consumers under the legal age. It also prohibits selling cannabis through self-service displays or vending machines.
purchasing directly from a federally licensed seller.
registering with Health Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis for medical purposes.
designating someone to produce it for them.
If you require cannabis for medicinal purpose, review the rules around medical use, governed by Health Canada.
Impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal death and injury in Canada. Cannabis-impaired driving may lead to the injury or death of you, your passengers and others. Drug-impaired driving has been a criminal offence since 1925. Under a new provincial law, the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, passengers in vehicles aren't allowed to use cannabis.
Although most effects may fade before the 24-hour mark, impairment can last for more than 24 hours after use. Cannabis impairs your judgement, affects your ability to react, and increases your chances of being in a collision.
If you have any questions about the legalization of cannabis in Canada, we recommend seeking legal council at Doak Shirreff. We are a collection of legal professionals that truly care about our community and those who reside within it.

It's that time of year when we start bringing out our warmer scents, the ones that warm you up the instant you put them on. A fabulous new scent for this season is Estee Lauder's Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang. If you like amber, give this perfume a try next time you're near an Estee Lauder counter.
Amber Ylang Ylang is the second perfume in Aerin Lauder's Private Collection. The first is this summer's Tuberose Gardenia. This perfume is completely opposite, it's very rich, warm and alluring where Tuberose Gardenia is sharply floral. It has top notes of ylang, bergamot and geranium, middle notes of Bulgarian rose, cinnamon Ceylon and incense then bottom notes of vanilla bean, sandalwood and of course amber.
The amber in this perfume is strong and rich, it seems almost powdery warm to me. The incense is more noticeable in the dry down and we smelled a bit of the rose on me but my friend Lea (the expert nose between the 2 of us) couldn't smell it on herself. This perfume also has good sillage, at the end of the night I can still smell the scent on my body and clothes. My co-worker kept commenting on it when she was around me.


The new Audi RS6: lighter, quicker, bigger, cleaner and more economical than it was before. But not more powerful. Where once there was a 572bhp 5.0-litre V10, there is now a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 developing 553bhp.
Given the flagship model's normally brazen display of power, the slight backward step is a notable development — even if it does prove largely inconsequential given the hike in performance.
That, in real-world terms, is more typical of Audi's progression. Thanks to the pair of twin-scroll turbochargers mounted within the engine's 'V', torque has grown from 479lb ft to 516lb ft. Alongside a 90kg reduction in kerb weight (credited to increased use of lightweight materials) the RS6 now manages 62mph in a supercar-fast 3.9 seconds. That makes it, unsurprisingly, the quickest-accelerating estate car in the world.
Depending on how much you really want it, there's also the potential to make it the fastest overall: two levels of the optional Dynamic pack push the electronically limited top speed first to 174mph, and then to 189mph. In the real-world, however, it should prove to be a more economical car. Cylinder deactivation, which turns the RS6 into a four-cylinder car when circumstance allow, help a claimed combined score of 28.8mpg.
Along with that technical first for the model comes another: adaptive air suspension is now the standard set-up, with stiffer steel springs relegated to the options list. Audi's latest all-wheel-drive system uses a self-locking centre differential to split the available torque 40 per cent front, 60 per cent rear (and all the way up to 85 per cent to the rear if required), as well as left to right courtesy of a standard sport diff on the back axle.
The car arrives in the UK with an on-the-road price of £76,985, which is a marginal reduction on the sticker worn by its predecessor. Audi has also delivered an impressive 31 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions, although at 229g/km the RS6 just misses out on the VED boundary between expensive K and exorbitant L.
Mean looking. Few manufacturers possess a blistered-arch history as distinguished as Audi's, but even for quattro GmBH the RS6 is a squat, savage thing up close. Dramatic air intakes and a gaping honeycomb grille help tug the A6's soft expression into a wicked grin. Elsewhere, in proportions almost too big for a single gaze, there's the sprawling wider stance that could only be the result of a serious four-ringed fettling.
On optional 21in wheels, the car's presence registers on a scale usually reserved for Manga animation. While the outside might be amply endowed with adolescent fantasy, the inside is all business. The piano black and brushed aluminum cabin is a sculpted siren song to the car's middle-age, high-income buyer. Aside from the badges and associated brouhaha it feels much like it is: a seriously well kitted-out A6.
Without the blustery sports exhaust fitted, it fires into life much like one, too. There's the merest whiff of a snarl, and then the V8 disappears into a noiseless, lavishly refined background.
So consistent and unrelenting is the new turbocharged V8 that, flat out, it better resembles a prodigious and violent winch than a sophisticated petrol motor. In a straight line (and, tellingly, on the autobahn) the pick-up, eagerness and capacity for giving its digital readout a workout is phenomenal, if not as organically satisfying as the high-revving, naturally aspirated V8 aboard the RS4.
It's predictably less visceral than a supercar, but the RS6's poise beyond 150mph is something to behold: no nervousness, no elevated sense of dynamic anxiety, just an unflappable grasp of the fast-departing Tarmac.
In this guise – a sadly unfamiliar one to British motorists – the car is terrific. Away from the motorway, its extraordinary capabilities are desensitised by an electromechanical Dynamic steering system that wants to be light and direct at slower speeds, and hefty and reassuring at pace.
By not being either dependably, the car is too often and too easily the victim of piloting second guesses, and the driver is left to be overly reliant on a basic faith in the all-wheel-drive chassis to judge turn-in speed. The affect of this detachment will differ from person to person, but even with an almost total lack of feedback, the RS6 can still be driven cross country outrageously quickly. If only because the limits of its traction and acceleration are so wildly permissive that one could quite easily encounter a prison cell before finding them on the road.
Inside the performance envelope there is evidence of handling spirit displayed by the RS4. Although more nose heavy and cumbersome, the asymmetrical torque distribution keeps sufficient drive at the rear axle to make the RS6 feel like it is being pliably pushed under throttle rather than benignly pulled.
Disappointingly, Audi couldn't provide a test car with adaptive air suspension fitted, so we've only tried the steel sports springs with the three-way adjustable (and diagonally interconnected) shock absorbers. Even in the softest setting, this set-up keeps the Avant's body washboard flat, and on German roads at least, it keeps ride compliancy respectable without being overly busy. One would suspect, though, that the (allegedly) softer standard arrangement will be better suited to the UK.
Traditionally, Autocar verdicts on big RS models come punctuated with 'ifs' and 'buts' and, inevitably, this one continues the theme. As usual there is much to admire, if not savour, and many strengths that do not quite add up to genuine affection.
On the plus side, this is a great looking car, inside and out. Credibly, it fills out its price tag, too. Whatever you feel about it, this is not a machine that is going to leave you feeling shortchanged. Its performance, detached or not, and in the bluntest terms, is phenomenal.
If your (deep-pocketed) life were a daily sprint up and down a derestricted autobahn, this would be the ride of choice, no question.
Equally, if your commute involves a 30-mile stretch of highland A-road, and you like the idea of completing it, in all weathers, at Mach 2, then it also probably deserves a place somewhere near the top of the list.
But if your relationship with cars (and roads) is a little less one-dimensional, a little less concerned with outright speed and a little more involved with the nuance, flavour and entertainment of actually driving, then, once again, your money is better parked elsewhere.
The duff Dynamic steering must shoulder some of the blame for this, but even beyond its ham-fistedness the RS6 does seem like a car intent on showing what it can do to you rather than what you can do with it.
...in a long line of admirable RS6's. I'd still have an E63 AMG Estate over one of these, though. More understated, RWD, and THAT engine. Also, IMO the RS6 would have looked better with box 'arches not flared ones - like the RS4 Avant.
I thought the Ferrari FF was the worlds fastest estate car?
hit with the rich practical set. You can take this to the w/e house in the cotswolds take it skiing in winter. Know it will blow anything off in any conditions, is safe promises much better mpg than the rest and if your are lucky suffers lower decpreciation when if it becomes iconic. These are all more important than ultimate windy road finesse for its target audience. Did I mention it has a nice interior?
I agree with Mike, the E63AMG is a much better all-rounder. It even has seven seats. And whilst it's available as RWD, an S version with 4MATIC will be available, and that's much faster than this Audi. The 4WD E63AMG will do 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds!
But as always with Audi RS models, the steering feel lets it down.
I still like it though; subtly aggressive exterior with a gorgeous, business-like interior.
IF you read the para "It's predictably less visceral than a supercar, but the RS6's poise beyond 150mph is something to behold: no nervousness, no elevated sense of dynamic anxiety, just an unflappable grasp of the fast-departing Tarmac" I can only assume that afterwards - to keep the journo flag flying - they had to say something sad about the steering which has been repeat adhoc for the last 20 yeasr!!! Bull S..//T.
Big engines big power,but, we are now getting outputs like this from smaller, cleaner,more fuel efficient engines,don't sound the same?, then what are tuned exhausts with sound symposers for then?
I agree,would be great to see a head to head test,I will sit in the rear seat of the AMG and watch the Audi get beat!It is a lovely piece of kit,and like the E63AMG'S'4Matic really the best all around vehicle you could want,forget the Chelsea Tractors,leave them to their fields.
This must a first, an Audi which is less powerful than its predecessor. Are they finally realising that there is more to a car than just brute force?! I have to say though that the RS6, along with most Audi RSs really do look tasteful, more so than even the Ms and AMGs of this world. Just a shame that the diriving experience still doesn't come uo to scratch.
I wonder whether Jag will do a R version of its XF estate.

I think for now it's okay to navigate the waters that currently there for me.
Love is everywhere. okay, maybe not everywhere but it is in most places in my life with God, my friends, and family. I think the love that I currently have in my life is all that I need. I do think that as I go on in life, love with start to grow in other aspects for me, but I think for now its okay to navigate the waters that currently there for me.
God is someone who is always a constant in my life, he's always there for me on good days and bad days. I feel like it is crazy that he knows his plans for me already, but while it may sound/look crazy, he does it out of love. He loves us all and is always sprinkling himself into our lives which I think is magical.
My friends know that I'd bend over backward for them (okay when I'm not crazy busy). Our love is more than just the pictures we take and the memes that we tag each other in. I cherish all of the friendships that I have, whether the memories are past or present.
My family means the world to me, I don't know what I'd do without them. It is always hard for me to put into words how I love them. I like that I'm able to connect with my extended family through texting, calling, and facetime, and I think that's where my love for them mostly lies.
The visits each time to them do my heart and my soul good with all the laughter that takes place, so when I don't get to see them for a while it makes my heart sad. My family at home in Georgia/Florida, I also have a love for them as well because I know that they will always be there for me, and vice versa. Through thick and thin, we always will have a bond like no other and I think that bond will forever grow in time just as our family grows and changes.
Love is where it needs to be in my life right now and I am so grateful for that. My journey with #mypeople isn't over yet and I'm excited to see what is to come!
Taking "home is where the heart is" to a new level.
I have always heard that one day I will find a place that will feel like my home away from home, specifically with my significant other. Honestly, I couldn't envision loving a place like the way I do my hometown, let alone love it even more. Nonetheless, here I am, sitting in the Little Rock, Arkansas airport tearing up as I say goodbye to my home away from home.
Let me tell you about my hometown. I live in a relatively small town in Wyoming and it has always been my home. My family, friends and work are here in Wyoming. But, there happens to be this man who has my whole entire heart. His hometown is a little town in Arkansas, that also happens to be 17 hours away from me. I came to visit him in his hometown for the first time ever. Not only to see Arkansas for the first time but to see him for the first time in a month and to have the opportunity to meet his family.
I won't lie, meeting parents for the first time is definitely nerve-wracking. It's not that I am hard to get along with, it's the fact that I want them to love me because I love their son and I couldn't conceptualize that ever changing. From the moment I stepped into their home, I was welcomed with big arms and beautiful smiles. His family welcomed me, a complete stranger, into their home with no questions asked. Right away I knew I felt like I was home.
Finding your home away from home is easy to recognize. Home is a place full of love and laughter and that is what I found in Arkansas. It was a second home that I felt comfortable in. Feeling comfortable somewhere is not always the easiest feeling to grasp. For me, I feel the need to be in a comfortable place to be myself and call it "home."
I believe that it is essential for everyone to have a "second home" or a "home away from home." Having a second family can and does provide so much more love in my life I never knew I needed. I of course do and always will love and adore my family with my whole heart and soul but having these other people in my life gives me so much assurance that I'll always be surrounded with love and happiness. You can never have too many friends, too much family and certainly never too much love. So thank you. Thank you for welcoming me, loving me as your own, and showing me that having a home away from home is such a positive part of my life.

Artista molto prolifico, nacque in Italia durante il soggiorno di suo padre e si formò inizialmente come pittore proprio sotto la guida di quest'ultimo, per poi diventare allievo di Alexandre Calame. Successivamente trascorse vari soggiorni di studio in Francia tra Parigi e Lione, dal 1849 e il 1860. Otterrà ampi consensi tra i suoi contemporanei e parteciperà attivamente a molte mostre, prendendo parte a quelle ginevrine dal 1860 e alle Esposizioni universali di Parigi del 1867, del 1878 e del 1889.

La sua opera è generalmente associata al movimento verista, quest'ultimo parte del Realismo, che nella pittura paesaggistica della seconda metà del XIX secolo si concentra sulla messa in evidenza della purezza della natura.

Biografia

Nascita, famiglia e formazione
Albert Lugardon nacque il 3 o 4 ottobre 1827 a Roma (all'epoca parte dello Stato Pontificio, oggi Italia) dal pittore svizzero Jean-Léonard Lugardon e da Suzanne Paschoud,  figlia del libraio Jean-Jacques Paschoud. Tramite il padre, Albert era discendente da una famiglia protestante originaria del Sud della Francia, che dovette rifugiarsi nella città svizzera di Berna dopo la decisione di revocare l'Editto di Nantes nel 1685. Sua madre, invece, morirà giovane per le complicanze di una seconda gravidanza, nel 1830.

Albert nacque durante il soggiorno italiano di suo padre, che poi si trasferì nuovamente a Ginevra, in Svizzera. La sua iniziale formazione artistica gli venne impartita proprio da suo padre, che poi favoreggerà la sua entrata nella bottega del pittore Alexandre Calame. In Francia, il giovane sarà per un periodo alla Scuola Veterinaria (École Vétérinaire) di Lione dal 1849, per poi entrare all'École des Beaux-Arts di Parigi nel 1851 e frequentare lo studio del pittore olandese-francese Ary Scheffer. Tornato in patria a Ginevra, nel 1855 ottenne un premio dalla classe di belle arti per il suo dipinto di un pascolo.

Carriera
Pittore molto prolifico, con la sua arte Lugardon riuscì ad ottenere un certo successo presso i suoi contemporanei e partecipò anche a numerose esposizioni in Svizzera e in Francia, prendendo parte alle Esposizioni universali di Parigi del 1867, del 1878 e del 1889. Nel 1869 compirà un viaggio nei Paesi Bassi.

Accanto alla pittura, un'altra passione di Lugardon fu quella per la fotografia e la litografia, focalizzando in particolare la sua attenzione sui movimenti di uomini e animali e facendo ricerche sugli scatti istantanei, che gli valsero una medaglia dalla Società Fotografica di Londra nel 1881; inoltre la fotografia sarà un utile mezzo che accompagnerà la realizzazione dei suoi dipinti, cosa che tuttavia non riuscì a fargli evitare le critiche dei colleghi pittori. Nel 1881 fu anche uno dei membri fondatori della Società Ginevrina di Fotografia. Ancora, oltre a queste sue attività, Lugardon fu anche inserito nella scena politica ginevrina in ambito artistico come membro del Comitato della Società degli Amici delle Belle Arti di Ginevra (dal 1872 al 1888) e della Commissione delle Belle Arti di Ginevra (dal 1880).

Fu un uomo generoso, attivo anche sul piano caritatevole: Lugardon fu il primo pittore ad offrire un'opera all'Ospedale Cantonale di Ginevra per la decorazione delle sale e, a beneficio dell'istituzione caritatevole, chiederà ai suoi esecutori testamentari di allestire una mostra e la vendita di ben 1096 delle sue opere e 30 di quelle di suo padre, che avrà luogo postumamente nel marzo del 1910. Inoltre, è interessante notare come Lugardon volesse che le sue opere potessero essere acquistate a prezzi modici per essere accessibili a tutti, un atteggiamento generoso che provocò l'ira degli intenditori e anche di alcuni benefattori dell'Ospedale, sfociando anche in una polemica sulla stampa svizzera.

Morte
Albert Lugardon morì poco prima del suo 82º compleanno il 26 settembre 1909 a Plainpalais (oggi parte della città di Ginevra).

How quickly the penguins huddled when weather worsened provided clues about their feeding success and how climate change may alter the Antarctic biosphere, according to scientists.
On the frozen landscape of Antarctica, emperor penguins huddle together to shield against cold, windy, and harsh conditions. This lets the penguins share warmth and conserve energy during extended times between forages and during breeding.
Now scientists have used advances in remote sensing techniques to observe the evolution of an emperor penguin huddle at Atka Bay in eastern Antarctica. Their study revealed the primary trigger that prompts the birds to huddle and reaffirmed the main purpose of the groupings.
Huddle locations often lie kilometers from the nearest permanent research station amid extremely cold (−50°C) and windy (150-kilometer-per-hour) conditions. They also tend to migrate around.
These factors "have made it very challenging to get information from over there," according to Céline Le Bohec, an ecologist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, France, and the Centre Scientifique de Monaco. However, thanks to remote sensing observatories established by researchers in recent years, especially ones with instruments linked to the Internet, "we can go online anytime and instantly see what is happening in the [emperor penguin] colony," she said in a press release.
During May 2014, sensors at the remotely operated Single Penguin Observation and Tracking (SPOT) observatory monitored huddles' shapes and total areas of coverage and estimated the number of individual penguins within each huddle. Additional SPOT instruments simultaneously recorded the local wind speed, ambient temperature, solar radiation, and relative humidity.
By comparing the local weather conditions to the penguins' huddling habits, the researchers found that during a typical month, the penguins were more likely to huddle when a windchill-like parameter—which they call the phase transition temperature—decreased to −48.2°C. The penguins' response to the changing weather conditions during 1 day can be seen in this time-lapse video from 8 May 2014.
The transition temperature, which combines four meteorological parameters into a single metric measured in degrees, can serve as a proxy for the penguins' foraging success, according to the team. So if the penguins for some reason began to huddle at warmer temperatures, scientists would know that they likely had smaller energy reserves from food to keep them warm.
The findings agree with the well-established idea that the penguins huddle primarily for warmth and not for protection against predators and reconcile lingering questions about the main environmental trigger for huddling. The researchers published the first results from the study in early May in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.
With ongoing, near-continuous data beginning in 2013, the researchers noted that the penguins' huddle behavior can track how the Antarctic biome is changing in response to global warming and better inform conservation efforts.
"It's important to know which colonies are going to be the…most affected by climate change," said coauthor Daniel Zitterbart of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass. So if it looks like penguins in a certain colony could withstand future climate-related changes, "conservation measures like marine protected areas can be established to better protect them," he said.

Support where it's needed
October 12, 2017 Good news storieschildren, families, NACRO, supportABL
In their latest update on Allenton Big Local funded activities, the Nacro Osmaston Family Project reports that this quarter has seen another significant increase in families with complex needs and children who are subject to safeguarding plans. In the last quarter, there have also been two referrals to Social Care for safeguarding.
Nacro offers support on a weekly basis to the families who need it – both in the family home and through telephone calls or text messages of support in between visits.
Referrals for support are received from a variety of organisations, which last quarter included learning mentors, school safeguarding officers, children's centres and Social Care. The referral agency provides details of the issues facing the family, as well as a risk assessment.
Nacro is currently supporting parents within all the levels of need, although most fall in to the first 3 levels which are: low level needs, emerging needs, and complex or serious needs.
Each parent is allocated an experienced family support worker who makes the initial visit with the referring agency to be introduced to the family. On the second visit, a support plan is drawn up with the parents and set outcomes are agreed.
Using a solution-focused approach, Nacro supports parents to help them move forward, address the issues and problems they are facing, and works towards improving outcomes for the family. The aim is to help build parents' independence by working with them to identify their own issues, set realistic and achievable goals and develop their own skills and responses to resolving the issues they have identified and want to change.
3 C's APPROACH
Nacro Osmaston Family Project use a 3 Cs step approach in the delivery of parenting support services:
You can read more about how this works in their quarterly report for September 2017.
Through Allenton Big Local funding, Nacro has been able to support parents in the following ways this quarter:
• One-to-one support directly with parents and children in their own homes.
• 5 case conferences for children subject to a safeguarding plan.
• 2 referrals to social care for safeguarding issues.
• Attending Team around the family meetings.
• Completion of an Early Help Assessment.
• Attending professionals meetings.
• Attending a Trafficking Strategy meeting.
In general, parents receive weekly visits for usually up to three months, but in complex cases support is sometimes offered for a longer period of time, particularly if support is part of a safeguarding plan after a child protection conference.
This is what parents receiving support from Nacro in the last quarter said about the service they received:
"The support has been really good. I have learned so much."
"It was very useful to look at my own behaviour as a parent. It made me realise I needed to change as a parent before my child could change."
"I was given some really good advice which I have now started to use."
"Having someone who did not judge me as a mum but was honest with me was so good. Thanks for your support and advice."
"How helpful it was and how quickly someone was there to lend their support when it was most needed."
"It helped me talk to someone who could help with ideas and strategies. It made me feel less helpless."
Here are some of the comments received from referring agencies, including social workers, school nurses and safeguarding officers:
"This service worked really well as part of the team around the family."
"The referral I made was picked up the next day and the family had a worker within two days. Excellent response."
"This is a great service and was just right for the family I was supporting."
"The family have really benefited from the support. I will definitely be referring again."

A real statement of intent from Anfield is needed
Duncan Oldham 24 Jul 2019	Duncan Oldham
I remain calm and upbeat about Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp strengthening his squad this summer, despite the transfer window clock running down. I have always believed that we would.
In my last editorial on KopTalk, I wrote: 'It would be foolish for the club to think it can just sit still because we won the Champions League. Manchester City won the Premier League and they are already close to signing Spanish midfielder Rodri, an outstanding player that will make Pep's midfield even more secure. He's not resting on his laurels. Liverpool mustn't either.'
And we mustn't.
I'm often asked on the members' website, KopTalk.TV and DKB.TV as to why I think we haven't yet made any significant progress in the market during the current window. My response has always been that I believed we had identified targets but that their holding clubs were inflating their valuations because we were the European Champions. I still believe this to be the case.
It's a tricky one because we can't allow ourselves to be ripped off. Take Nabil Fekir for example. I believe that the boss was still interested in him before he made the switch to Real Betis for £17.7million. A £15million ceiling is said to have been imposed. It may only be a difference of a few million but let's not forget that the deal that saw Nabil make the switch to Spain also included his brother Yassin.
Liverpool mustn't pay over the odds but I don't believe that every player that's out there will cost the world. Rodri went on to complete his move to Manchester City for a fee of around £62.4million. Klopp draws comparisons with City's spending and says we can't compete with them. Maybe so when you look at their spending over several seasons. However, Liverpool have banked record TV money and lucrative sums as a result of their Champions League success over Tottenham. We can afford to invest heavily and sensibly into the squad. We can match £62.4million.
The boss says money is there but we aren't a club that can afford to spend crazy money. I get that. We understand that. If the boss says he's happy with his squad, fair enough. But many supporters expect us to show some real intent and to build on the capture of that 6th European Cup and I'm one of them.
It's not the first time that the manager has felt the need to point out he can't compete financially with the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona, he said something similar last week, but do we always have to?
<<– Buy football club shares online in minutes –>>
I'm really split on this. I don't want us to be ripped off and I want to have complete faith in the manager's decisions, but we do have to ask ourselves if we could be doing better in the market, especially after losing a couple of senior players.
Adam Lallana was billed as a new signing but he's about as reliable as me when it comes to writing a book. Like Daniel Sturridge before him, you can't count on him. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is another player that we are being told is a new signing. Yes, of course, it's great to welcome players back from long term injuries but are we really that naive that we don't expect to lose someone else during the next campaign?
I don't want to criticise the boss and the owners but I do understand why the fans are growing restless. But we have no choice but to remain patient and see what happens. I'd be stunned if nothing happened because my sources (this is a fancy word for my friends who know some sh*t) suggest we have a couple of deals that we could get over the line but if we won't cough up, they simply won't happen.
I think it would be very unenthusiastic and very weak for us to rest on our laurels. Our Champions League success is history. Maybe we could go on and win it again with the current squad but no Liverpool fan would disagree that the more options that we have in the squad, the better, especially when you look at the number of competitions we will participate in next term.
I believe in the manager and I will keep the faith that we will see at least one addition before the transfer window slams shut. If we only manage one, I expect it will be a versatile defender. There are midfield options that we could conclude within days if we wanted to.
Our Champions League success left the supporters hungry for more. Instead we've been left scratching our heads wondering why the club isn't sending out a statement of intent to every footballing giant out there. The only statement we're currently sending is a subdued one.
Despite winning the league, Manchester City have shown they mean business, we should be doing so too, especially if we want to beat them to the title.
I'm a little concerned but I'm going to continue keeping the faith.

Ryder captaincy not tainted by Monty - McGinley
Paul McGinley does not believe that Colin Montgomerie will be a lame duck Ryder Cup captain despite accusations of cheating.
The Dubliner, who is a serious candidate for the captaincy at Gleneagles in 2014, defended the Scot to the hilt after this week's sensational attack by fellow Scot Sandy Lyle.
McGinley said: "I don't think what's been said will diminish the Ryder Cup captaincy in any way. I think Monty will be an excellent captain and he will have the respect of all of the players. And he will make a lot of really strong, good decisions.
"What was said is disappointing and Sandy is a nice guy who we all like. I am sure he really regrets it. But I have no comment to make on what Sandy said. Sandy's Open is over and Monty's Open is over because of talking to the press. So you can understand when guys clam up.
"I don't want to get drawn into it or give my opinion on it. All I will say is that Monty has got my full support as captain of the next Ryder Cup team."
McGinley is hoping to concentrate on getting back to form at Turnberry, where he feels his straight-hitting style can pay off.
And the Dubliner firmly denied that he has become Mr Angry on the golf course because his results have been bitterly disappointing over the past 12 months.
He said: "I am not an angry person. Not at all. I am certainly frustrated because I feel I am playing so much better than my results.
"I really don't think that tenseness is what's holding me back. But I could certainly do with an injection of confidence. That doesn't come from just waking up and thinking I am confident today.
"It is big performances that make or break your year - three or four weeks that make or break your year - and it doesn't matter where they come as long as they come.
"There is nothing wrong with my game but my confidence is not what it should be or can be. It is hard to be confident when I have had as poor a year as I have had this year. I haven't had any momentum."
Down to 200th in the world, the Dubliner is delighted that the big hitters will not have the upper hand this week.
And he's hoping that the hard work he has been doing on his short game and putting with former tour player Mark Roe will pay dividends.
He said: "I am working on my short game and putting really held me back last week. I didn't have a three putt. I am not yipping them or hitting bad putts, I just need to make more putts. That's the bottom line.
"I am really not panicking and it might not look like I am enjoying the game, but I am. What could be better than playing in a British Open in weather like this. This is what it is all about.
"I have a huge passion for the game but my love for the game is stronger now than it has ever been. I am a little with frustrated with the way the game has gone over the last few years, moving away from the game that I play.
"Having said that, Major championships move back into my arena again - straight off the tee, course set up and course management."

McGinley set for Ryder Cup call
Pocket battler Paul McGinley will take a giant step towards the Ryder Cup captaincy at Wentworth today.
The Dubliner, 43, will be named as one of Colin Montgomerie's vice-captains for October's clash with the US at Celtic Manor. And while that will strengthen his bid to become the first Irish Ryder Cup captain at Gleneagles in 2014, he could get his chance sooner than he thinks.

Clarke was set to battle McGinley for the job at Gleneagles but as a major winner he now hopes he can qualify for the next two teams.
That leaves the way clear for McGinley to become the first Irishman to skipper a European Ryder Cup side in Scotland in three years' time.
Asked how good McGinley's captaincy chances were now, Clarke's manager Chubby Chandler said: "Better than they were. Darren wants to play in Gleneagles."

McIlroy wants McGinley not Monty as skipper
Rory McIlroy was impressed by Paul McGinley's captaincy of GB&I in the Vivendi Seve Trophy and wants to play under the Irishman in Gleneagles in 2014.World No 1 Rory McIlroy has unequivocally called on the European Tour Players Committee to resist any temptation to hand Colin Montgomerie (or any ohter past captain) the Ryder Cup captaincy and again called for Ireland's Paul McGinley to be handed the job of leading Europe's defence at Gleneagles in 2014.
It's the umpteenth time in the space of 10 weeks that Europe's leading player has made it clear that he wants McGinley to be handed the captain's armband. This time, in the wake of growing murmurs that his 2010 skipper might be considered for a second bite of the cherry, he went a step further this time.

Knowledge Management in Educational Leadership
Published by admin2 at July 1, 2018
Give a practical example or case study (from your experience in education or otherwise) demonstrating knowledge management and use of a data protocol. Explain how leaders can encourage knowledge creation, sharing, and management in an organization?
Greek History - Class and Status Distributed: twentieth December, 2017 Last Edited: tenth May, 2018 Disclaimer: This paper has been presented by an understudy. This isn't a case of the work composed by our expert paper journalists. You can see tests of our expert work here. Any feelings, discoveries, conclusions or suggestions communicated in this material are those of the writers and don't really mirror the perspectives of UK Essays. Are there any extraordinary bits of knowledge to be had from examining Greek history regarding either class or status? Greek history can't be seen as entire without breaking down the class structure and status, as a large portion of the recorded proof we have procured from the established period have originated from engravings and figures made by one specific class of individuals, who had a high status in the public eye. Accordingly it isn't really about increasing extraordinary bits of knowledge as it is picking up as total an understanding into Greek Ancient history as could reasonably be expected, however unique bits of knowledge will unavoidably introduce themselves. This side of Greek history has just been centered around since these issues have gone to the fore in current circumstances what with Marxism and socialism ascending in the twentieth Century; these issues of class and status go under traditional examination since it is unavoidable that they were as applicable then as they are presently on the grounds that human instinct does not change and you will see clear correlations. Just men local to a specific city-state who were free and claimed arrive were qualified for the full insurance of the law in a city-state and be thought about natives. The Athenian social structure comprised of the populace being isolated up into four classes in view of riches. This contrasts from Sparta where every single male native who completed their instruction were viewed as equivalent. So unmistakably bits of knowledge can be picked up from breaking down Greek history in light of the fact that both class and status are issues that traditional students of history must comprehend with a specific end goal to have as total as conceivable point of view toward Greek history. Individuals who were not some portion of the free land owning subjects were known as metics. Nonnatives who moved into the city were a piece of this gathering, so too were slaves who had been liberated. It can absolutely be contended this is abuse of and looking down on specific gatherings of individuals demonstrating to us a unique understanding into how the distinctive classes saw each other and the status each procured. This understanding couldn't be accomplished without investigating the class or status. Since they didn't have the innovation we have today in days of yore, G. E. M. de Ste. Croix contends in his book 'The Class Struggle in the Ancient Greek World' that the predominant affluent classes kept on commanding by requesting significantly more than was really fundamental from the lower classes. Such things as subjection, serfs, obligation bondsmen and numerous different techniques were utilized to prevent the lower classes from revolting by keeping them occupied. This is moved down by individuals, for example, Aristotle, who wrote in his 'Legislative issues' that men (which means residents of the state) were discerning creatures yet slaves and ladies were not fit for reason. He called slaves "vitalize devices" whose exclusive utilize was to comply with the orders of the rich bosses. In his 'Legislative issues' work he states, "However among savages no refinement is made amongst ladies and slaves, in light of the fact that there is no characteristic ruler among them: they are a network of slaves, male and female. Wherefore the writers say, It is meet that Hellenes should govern over savages; as though they felt that the brute and the slave were by nature one." This gives us some unmistakable understanding into the attitude of the nationals of Greek city states. There is a typical misinterpretation among individuals that "Greece" was a brought together country that idea as one. However, I have just shown a contrast between two unique urban communities in Greece and their social structures were very extraordinary and these distinctions do offer us uncommon experiences. Greece was not one country working under a similar reasoning, but rather it contained a wide range of characters, it is both a Mediterranean and a Balkan nation. Indeed, an official Greek state did not appear until the point that Rome joined it as one. There were several unique states over the zone which contained the general population who wound up known as the Greeks. Reliability was held to their own particular city states, as opposed to 'Greece' overall. We can likewise increase some understanding into every day life while investigating Greek history as far as class or status. The vast majority of the populace were compelled to take a shot at the dirt by those that were free natives who were few well off landowners and possessed a considerable measure of land. The slaves would take a shot at the well off landowners' territory, there was minimal other option to this. So they were seen as negligible apparatuses, as the previously mentioned quote from Aristotle appears, depicting them as "invigorate devices" as though they were current tractors or whatever other instrument that makes agribusiness less demanding, for the well off landowner in any event. There is likewise another territory of study, aside from the connection between the well off landowning nationals and the metics and slaves which is about how business when all is said in done was led in Ancient Greece that is opened to us once we contemplate Ancient Greece from the point of view of status and class. Paul Millet recommends that support has had so minimal expounded on it that one may figure it didn't exist in the Ancient Greek World. Notwithstanding, it must be stated, with what little confirmation we have; Sparta is the city-state we have the most proof for support, however underneath this is Athens. Athens was seen as the most developed majority rules system of the time, and the previously mentioned Aristotle likewise saw it all things considered, in spite of its disparities. This statement from Aristotle's 'Legislative issues' is pertinent here as, recalling his already cited see on savages, here he is discussing the nationals of the ideal majority rules system, which does exclude slaves, ladies, metics and others: "Popular government emerged from the possibility that the individuals who are equivalent in any regard are equivalent completely. All are similar free, hence they assert that they are on the whole equivalent totally." Athens has dependably been said to have been the principal genuine "vote based system" by standard established students of history, uncommon understanding can be increased here from concentrate Ancient Greek history from a class and status point of view to impugn that fantasy. In spite of the fact that all individuals from the citizenship of Athens could vote at the get together, by far most of the general population who really lived in Athens, similar to the metics, ladies, slaves and others couldn't vote or have any say in political life. Correlations can be attracted to today here as, before Solon's changes subjugation was given as a discipline for obligation. This is tantamount to today and offer extraordinary knowledge since today individual obligation is at an unsurpassed high, especially in America and Britain and if the obligation turns out to be too high the banks send bailiffs to grab your property and your home viably expelling you from the 'citizenship' and making you a metic. Utilizing the Marxist belief system embraced by de Ste Croix in his previously mentioned book, more examinations can be attracted to today as a little minority of the general population still keep up all the riches. The methods for generation idea is likewise as important then as it is currently and the proprietors of the methods for creation, the bourgeoisie still control it in this way driving the regular man or the low class into working keeping in mind the end goal to survive. This as a result is subjection as they have no other decision yet to work and feed the methods for generation to keep the wheels of majority rules system and private enterprise turning. Investigating the status of ladies additionally offers uncommon bits of knowledge into Greek History that would somehow have gone unnoticed by the male ruled traditional period. The part of the female in Ancient Greece was one of absolutely being a servant and a mother to any kids she may have. As I have stated, there was no chance to get for them to get associated with political life. Plays like Aristophanes' 'Lysistrata' demonstrates that the plain thought of ladies being in control was considered totally outrageous and was just pertinent when they needed to make a joke. Like slaves, ladies could hold no belonging as they had a place with her dad and afterward once she is hitched to her better half. Their essential capacity of taking care of the home incorporated the utilization of numerous slaves, dealing with accounts, turning, bread making and obviously weaving which is the epitomy of the ladylike activity as in confirm from Homer's 'The Odyssey'. They lived and ate in particular quarters from the men, nor might they be able to go out in the open alone. Austere ladies had it better as they were permitted to participate in athletic rivalries and by and large had more flexibilities. Examinations can be drawn here with present day times additionally as in the Islamic confidence ladies are urged not to be found out in the open and in the Christian confidence ladies have dependably been denounced. This is obviously uncommon understanding being drawn from Greece's Ancient history as concentrate the status or class both offer the chance to contrast social issues from old circumstances with today, as they are unmistakably still pertinent. We can likewise pick up knowledge from this since Athens' immediate majority rules system might not have worked if not for it's use of such strict prerequisites to be permitted to take an interest. This makes keen open deliberation over this extremely thinking implying that it was anything but a majority rule government fundamentally, but instead a vote based system for the not many where just a little segment of society could partake and be chosen. Examinations can likewise be attracted to today with the long Bush-Clinton line heading towards their fourth straight president, who originates from a similar tip top rich area of society. However, the main contrast is that the obligation "slaves" of current circumstances really pick not to take an interest as opposed to being constrained not to just like the case in Ancient Athens. A more clear correlation with present day times and what we can gain from the Ancient Greeks is the cutting edge cases of exacting subjugation as o>
