Q: Problem trying to stream geotagged tweets into PostgreSQL using Python Jupyter Notebook I am attempting to stream tweets in a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension using a Python code written in Jupyter Notebook with no success. I have used a lot of tutorials as reference and in the first attempts the code seemed to work and there were no mistakes. I even had printed the message that I was connected to Twitter API. However, no tweets were uploaded into the PostgreSQL database. I thought the problem could be the filters (since maybe I was using filters which had no tweets for the moment), but after some runs removing filters or using other filters I found that wasn't the problem. I think the connection to PostgreSQL isn't the problem neither since I tried printing the tweets directly into Jupyter Notebook and there was no mistake and no error.
After doing some changes basing myself into guides and checking the format of PostgreSQL tables, I see the code connects to the Twitter API but I get this message all the time: 'str' object is not callable
The PostgreSQL table is created using the following code, with the goal that the coordinates of the tweets are stored with point geometry:
CREATE TABLE tweets (tweet_id VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, user_id VARCHAR, username TEXT, tweet TEXT, hashtags TEXT, lang TEXT, created_at TIMESTAMP, coordinates GEOMETRY);

The used Python code is the next one:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding: utf-8

#Import libraries
import tweepy
import pandas as pd
import json
import psycopg2
import time
from html.parser import HTMLParser

#Insert Twitter keys
ckey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
csecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
atoken = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
asecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

auth.set_access_token(atoken, asecret)

use the on_status like this, in this function the argumant is Status object and you can access to its fields, like status.text
def on_status(self, status):

these function names maybe change in different version of tweepy , read this article to install specified version of python package

A: I have edited the code, fixing the error pointed in the comment. I have def on_status(self, status) based on an example which worked for me before (and that I had mistakenly replaced by myself by data in that case).
The connection is created and I receive the message for that, but then 10 seconds later I get the following error TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I am not sure, but it seems the error comes now from the line in which I insert the tweets into PostgreSQL.
I have now edited the code adding the function def on_data(self, raw_data) and then put def on_status(self, status) like it has been mentioned in the comments. I continue getting the error TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Will wearing garlic help ward off a cold?(ISTOCKPHOTO)Can a bowl of chicken soup help fight a cold? Maybe: Some research suggests it could relieve inflammation.

Crystal Skies have officially released two new tracks, 'Never Change' featuring Gallie Fisher and 'Carbon'. This is the duo's debut on Seven Lions' label, Ophelia Records.
With this release, Crystal Skies seems to have fully embraced their beautifully constructed, melodic sound. The vocals from Gallie Fisher in 'Never Change' pack a feelsy punch, matching the intensity of the rhythmic beat. Showcasing a classic Seven Lions style, this track delivers layers of sound that mesh perfectly together as it builds up. 'Carbon' does not have any vocals, digging into a deeper and darker sound than the track before it. Both tracks provide a freshness that speaks to Crystal Skies' adaptability as artists and their raw talent.
Crystal Skies emerged in the dance music world in 2014, releasing 'The Light' and 'Lost In The Sky'. From remixing widely-known songs like Illenium's 'With You' to Seven Lions' 'Calling You Home' featuring Runn, Crystal Skies is a duo that has stayed true to their distinctive sound and energy over the last few years. They've vocalized that inspiration for this sound has been drawn from artists like Seven Lions, Koan Sound, and Au5.
With their last collaboration 'Looking For You' with WE ARE FURY coming out only two weeks prior to 'Never Change' and 'Carbon', it appears that Crystal Skies will be blessing the dance music world with a lot of new music in 2019. The duo's addition to Ophelia Records is a big one, and it will be exciting to see how they continue to make magic on the label.
Check out 'Never Change" and 'Carbon' down below.

Luke Del Rio looks like a go for Florida against Missouri
Written By Marcus DiNitto

Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio should be good to go for the Gators when they host Missouri on Saturday during homecoming weekend, Rivals.com reports.
This is not a surprising development, as Florida was planning to play the redshirt sophomore this past weekend against LSU. That game was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew.
MORE: SEC Week 7 TV schedule
Del Rio sprained the MCL in his left knee during the Gators' game against North Texas on Sept. 17. Florida, ranked No. 18 in the country, is 1-1 since then, blowing a big lead to Tennessee in a 38-28 loss but beating Vanderbilt, 13-6.
"Luke is excited and itching to go," Florida coach Jim McElwain said, per Rivals. "It swelled up a little bit, if I'll be straight up, (last) Wednesday. But we were assured that that was kinda normal. He worked fine on Wednesday, we were good to see where it was on Thursday and he was ready to take the majority of the first-team reps."
Del Rio said he'll be able to play through the lingering pain.
"It wasn't even about pain," he said. "It was about functionality. Could the knee handle it? I was at the point last week where it could."

A study of the mental state of the modern American woman by a Princeton psychologist has found a powerful link between concerns over financial security and satisfaction with one's life.
In looking toward the future, women who concentrated much of their thinking on financial matters were much less likely to be happy with their lives, according to Talya Miron-Shatz, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton. And, contrary to expectations, many of those with such worries had plenty of money by conventional standards, she said, suggesting that there is more at play in obtaining peace of mind than simply having cash.
"Even if you are making a hundred grand a year, if you are constantly worried that you are going to get fired, that you are going to lose your health insurance or that you are simply not sure you are going to 'make it,' you are not going to be happy," Miron-Shatz said. Such concerns, she found, affected a wide variety of women at all income levels.
Conversely, those who didn't fixate on finances like retirement savings, tuition for college or simply making ends meet, reported being the happiest of the group.
The study was published Feb. 25 in Judgment and Decision Making, a scholarly journal. Miron-Shatz is hoping the results might guide policy decisions, especially those being devised by President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress in the wake of today's financial crisis. Her work would favor a focus on strategies that create social and financial "safety nets" over measures that would directly increase income.
To understand how income and concerns over financial security may relate to a person's satisfaction with life, Miron-Shatz conducted two separate studies of a representative sample of nearly 1,000 American women of various ages and incomes. In one study, she showed that considerations of financial security were as important to the study subjects as their monetary assets.
She asked subjects in the second study to think about the future in an open-ended manner. Those who did so and mentioned financial concerns — retirement, college tuition, making ends meet, etc. — were less satisfied with their lives, she found, than those who did not raise such concerns. One of her participants said that when thinking of her future she wondered, "Will I be happy and financially stable?" The stability, Miron-Shatz says, is crucial. "It's not about greed," she added. "It's about knowing whatever it is you have, be it your McMansion or your motor home, won't be taken away from you."
Discussions about wealth need to be expanded to include this notion of financial security, she said, and though valid and meaningful, this factor is "glaringly missing from economic discussions," she said in her paper's introduction.
Psychologists have long sought to understand the connection between money and happiness.
Though the popular conception has been that "money can't buy happiness," studies have shown that wealth can play a role in enhancing happiness. Yet, wealth itself has been poorly defined in studies. And, contributing to this complicated relationship is what Princeton Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman has called the "satisfaction treadmill." In pioneering studies of human happiness, Kahneman, the Eugene Higgins Professor Emeritus of Psychology, has found that satisfaction does not necessarily increase in a corresponding amount with an improved financial status.
Miron-Shatz is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Kahneman, a psychologist who has pioneered the integration of research about decision-making into economics and won the 2002 Nobel Prize in economic sciences. Miron-Shatz's paper grew out of her work with Kahneman, who is her adviser.

Scandal Recap: The "Yes" Heard Round the World
In true Scandal fashion, last night's episode "Yes" was approximately 59 minutes of the standard (at least, standard in Shondaland's D.C.) antics: The President is doing nothing political or even semi-related to being the leader of the free world (instead, he's still bickering with Mellie and yearning after Liv). There's an OPA side plot involving a murdered wealthy man and his suspected killer (his stepson) who's on the run. And the exhausting, never-ending Jake-Olivia-Fitz love triangle appears to still (frustratingly) be a thing. Until the very last minute—10 seconds even—of airtime, when Liv changes everything with a single word: "Yes." Let's set the stage for a second. Liv and Jake have just spooned in a cheap motel after drinking beer. Fitz actually apologizes to Mellie, and agrees to do an interview—together—to squash all of the rumors about their marriage. And Liv gets a call from Fitz letting her go from all of their drama. He's going to deny Sally's claims and bring Mellie back to the White House, in a classic "if you love something, let it go" situation. So, it appears, after four seasons of constant back and forth over the matter, Olitz is finally going to cease to

Fitz actually apologizes to Mellie, and agrees to do an interview—together—to squash all of the rumors about their marriage. And Liv gets a call from Fitz letting her go from all of their drama. He's going to deny Sally's claims and bring Mellie back to the White House, in a classic "if you love something, let it go" situation. So, it appears, after four seasons of constant back and forth over the matter, Olitz is finally going to cease to exist.
But, you guys, this is Shondaland. There's still a minute or so of TV left, which we know is when all of TGIT's biggest bombs are dropped. And last night was no exception: Liv hangs up with Fitz, exits Jake's car, and faces the pack of reporters waiting for her outside of her apartment. And as they demand to know whether she's the President's mistress, she turns—badass leather jacket and all—and states loud and clear: "Yes." (Mike drop.)
At this point, whether you're team Jake or team Fitz, we really need to extend a thank you to Shonda Rhimes. Five seasons in, the Olitz story line either needed to be kicked to the curb or allowed to finally have a chance. Now that it looks like the latter is happening, who else is excited to see what other drama the show will focus on?

Shepherd House Assisted Living
In April of 2007, the NC91 WorldLegacy Leadership team created a wildflower garden, a Koi Pond with fish and water plants, wheelchair accessible planters, major landscaping and a fountain at Shepherd House Assisted Living in Chapel Hill, NC. Fifty children and youth from neighboring schools helped out on the project. Budget: $30,000.
Garden uses nature to aid mind and body
Author: Emily Matchar; Staff Writer
CHAPEL HILL — The patio at the Shepherd House assisted living home used to look out onto a blank, grassy hill.
Now the hill is dotted with lavender butterfly bushes, and the patio has an above-ground fish pond and garden tables planted with herbs and flowers. A stone fountain burbles outside the Alzheimer's care unit.
"We look at [the plants] every morning," said resident Bernice Whitefield, 83. "We say, 'They're growing! They're growing!'"
The new gardens are a community service project by students of a Morrisville-based leadership program.
Sixteen students from WorldLegacy, which offers a number of self-growth workshops, came up with the idea as part of their advanced workshop, in which they are expected to work in groups to complete a community service project.
Almost 50 seventh- and eighth-graders from Culbreth Middle School in Chapel Hill also contributed by creating handmade ceramic garden art.
"Oh, this is so cool!" exclaimed Anna Gachechiladze, 13, as she watched a volunteer hang a ceramic wind chime in the gazebo during a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday afternoon.
Shepherd House has 70 residents in its assisted living and Alzheimer's care facilities on Smith Level Road.
"The residents here are our grandparents, our brothers, our sisters, our family," said Nancy Travis, a student. The students spent a weekend in April planting the gardens, using $8,000 worth of plants and materials donated by local businesses.
Shepherd House activity director Joanne Donnelly said she was overwhelmed after seeing the patio transformed.
"I cried," she said. "I didn't know how else to express myself."
Studies have shown that access to green space can improve people's mental as well as physical health.
Resident Flo Conklin, 74, said she comes out on that patio all the time, just to sit and think. "I think about a lot of things," she said.
Before coming to Shepherd House, the Hillsborough native spent several months at an assisted-living facility in Durham that she described as "dark and dreary." She likes Shepherd House so much that she took it upon herself to "supervise" the volunteers as they were planting the gardens.
"I love it," she said, pushing a friend in a wheelchair around the finished patio. "Oh, this is heaven."

As a leader, I have experienced such love, joy, open love, and compassion due to performing community projects. I saw sad people become interested in our project and change their mood to happy. The seniors were excited and happily looking forward for us to come back so they had someone to watch and talk to. Being able to see a quiet timid woman look out the window for hours as we made the pond and garden was so fulfilling. Sharing with a younger aged lady in the assisted living facility and asking her to dream was a fearful experience at first. When she finally described what she wanted I was astonished. She went from a flat affect and no vision, to actually explaining in detail what she wanted and having a smile on her face. I can not keep what I have unless I give it away. To see happiness on another's face feels better than just feeling happy by myself. Giving is a way of life Pamela Brannen, NC91
Our WorldLegacy LP team in North Carolina had the luxury of having two excellent community project opportunities, both of which were accepted, both attained equal voting early. I was primary source for the project that ended up not being selected by the team. It was recognized that both were excellent opportunities, but our team selection was easier to envision and was easily relatable to all of us. Although my heart bled silently for the excellence our team could have experienced on the project not chosen, I used this experience to get past my feelings and shifted wildly to become a core leader in the selected project. I ended up sourcing well over half of the $12,000 raised for project. I also contributed in excellence during the day of the project. Returning by myself multiple time to the Shepherd House was more results than I could hope for. Those resident's smiles and beautiful life stories have poured love into me continuously since. Greg Frazer NC91
My experience in The Shepherd House Project was wonderful. The joy in the faces of the residents at the Shepherd House melted my heart. The residents were amazed at the team giving so much to them. The residents were amazed that we cared enough to come and to know that they mattered enough to give them our legacy. What a wonderful feeling of joy, love, giving that it gave to me and the residents Brenda Hampton NC91 What a great feeling to see all the residents faces when we completed the garden, fish pond and making the whole Shepherd House beautiful and full of life. I have never had such a feeling inside me of purpose before. LP is a great place for greatest you never new you had. Megan McCann-Mancini NC91

Q: set vim python indent space based on file I know it is possible to set the indent for a specific filetype by
set softtabstop=4

But the problem I am facing is, I have different python script files, some of them are indented with 2 spaces, while some of them are indented with 4 spaces. Is it possible to let vim determine the indent spaces to use (2 or 4) automatically based on the file opened?
Any help will be appreciated.

A: It looks like this vim plugin will do what you want: https://github.com/requalix/detect-indentation.

A: There are several plugins that can detect the used indent settings. Some, like my IndentConsistencyCop plugin also warn you about inconsistent indents. The following list is taken from my plugin's documentation:

*

*My own IndentConsistencyCop plugin; automatic triggering is enabled by the companion IndentConsistencyCopAutoCmds plugin.

*Indent Finder (vimscript #513) is a Python script and Vim plugin that scans
any loaded buffer and configures the appropriate indent settings

*yaifa.vim (vimscript #3096) is a port to vimscript of the above

*detectindent.vim (https://github.com/ciaranm/detectindent) by Ciaran
McCreesh tries to auto-detect the indentation settings

*GuessIndent (vimscript #4251) is based on detectindent.vim

*indentdetect.vim
(https://github.com/ervandew/vimfiles/blob/master/vim/plugin/indentdetect.vim)
by Eric Van Dewoestine performs a simple detection and can set defaults
based on the filespec

*matchindent.vim (vimscript #4066) detects tabs, 2 and 4-space indents and
adapts the indent settings accordingly

*sleuth.vim (vimscript #4375) by Tim Pope automatically adjusts 'shiftwidth'
and 'tabstop' heuristically (via a simplistic sampling that does not check
for bad or inconsistent indents) or by looking at other files of the same
type

*filestyle (vimscript #5065) highlights tabs when 'expandtab' is set,
trailing spaces, and lines longer than 'textwidth', but doesn't actually
check conformance to indent

*ShowSpaces (vimscript #5148) highlights spaces inside indentation, per
buffer / filetype.

*Indent Detector (vimscript #5195) run when a file is opened or written, has
warnings about mixed tab / space indent, and can adapt Vim's corresponding
options automatically.

Studio Wet: Borrero House in Alosno and critical pragmatism
Author: Studio Wet (Jose Gómez Mora, Daniel Montes),
Photographer: Fernando Alda,
City: Alosno, Huelva, Spain,
Section: Ville,
In Borrero House in Alosno, in the south of Spain, Jose Gómez Mora and Daniel Montes of Studio Wet work on colour as the element of relationship with the context and rethink the order of the façades. The detail of the main façade is inflected according to the curved lines beloved by Mora and Montes.
In Alosno, a small village in southwest Spain, Jose Gómez Mora and Daniel Montes of Studio Wet designed Borrero House, a single-story dwelling with unusual planimetric proportions. The peculiarity of the project for which Studio Wet was engaged has to do with the dimensions of the site on which Borrero House was built: a lot of just 7.5 metres wide by a full 40 metres long, added to which is a trapezoidal area of 11 x 5 metres at the eastern end. Clearly longer than wide, the site required a radical rethinking of the available space in relation to the street layout and the neighbouring buildings, a process that Jose Gómez Mora and Daniel Montes call "critical pragmatism". The lot is situated on the corner of Calle Santa Maria and Calle Regajillo, at a point nearing the boundary of the village of Alosno. Its short side faces Calle Santa Maria, the street onto which all the entrances of the adjacent buildings face, while the 40-metre side faces Calle Regajillo, which in the first segment is a minor street, reserved to secondary accesses.
The observation of the context thus stimulated right from the start the need to invert what seems to be an unwritten rule on the importance of the two streets. The client's need to separate the garage from the house led the architects to orient the spaces towards the longer side, i.e. towards the secondary Calle Regajillo, and to provide for circulation parallel to this street, along the more internal side of the lot. The garage was then positioned at the northwest corner, exactly at the intersection of the two streets, and consequently the side facing Calle Santa Maria, onto which only the garage door faces, is mute and secondary.
The entire house, instead, develops in relation to Calle Regajillo, starting from the courtyard that cuts the lot transversally and serves as an element of separation with the actual apartment, as well as the main entrance. The kitchen, the vestibule with secondary entrance and four bedrooms with bathrooms line up along the main façade, ending with a second small courtyard reserved for the master bedroom. The trapezoidal area to the northeast is used as an additional courtyard to provide light to the more internal bedrooms.
While the project makes use of the entire size of the lot in length and width, in height it stops at the first story, like many dwellings of the village and in continuity with the enclosure wall to the southwest. Despite these aspects, the visual emergence of the building with respect to a context made up of compact single-family residences is undeniable. However, the perception of unity is reassembled thanks to the care taken in defining the main façade and its chromatic continuity with the roof. Recovering a traditional local system of building, Studio Wet developed a double-layer structure of load-bearing brick walls, where the innermost layer is flat and plastered, while the outermost layer forms curves. The small shaped bricks, left exposed and perfectly finished, form thirteen curved portions that mark the long façade, giving it rhythm and order. Particularly interesting is the design of this detail, where the bricks meet the pillar that interrupts the curve and in correspondence with the corner of Calle Santa Maria and Calle Regajillo.
The bleached red of the perimeter bricks meets the pure white of the single pitch roof spanning from 6.5 to 7.5 metres high along the 40 metres length. Of particular value is the view from the top of the building, where the red terracotta floors of the courtyards stand out in the monochromic block. In the surrounding context of white walls and red roofs, this combination of colours highlights the building as a unitary nucleus with a distinctive character.
Curved lines, which return in the interior in the plan of the courtyards and in the terracotta vaults of the ceiling, are well-loved by Jose Gómez Mora and Daniel Montes. They can also be seen in the façades of Lissen House in Castilleja de la Cuesta, where a similar masonry design, though with bricks rendered with mortar, was used to clearly distinguish the original volume from that of the extension, creating a dialogue between them.

New San Antonio H-E-B adding a drive-thru barbecue restaurant
It's no secret Texans love their barbecue. It's also a verifiable truth that H-E-B is one of the mot beloved grocery stores in the state, and maybe even America. Put the two together, and you've got a winning formula.
RICARDO B. BRAZZIELL/AMERICAN-STATESMAN
That's right, Texas. H-E-B is about to introduce drive-thru barbecue stands to certain stores starting in August, the San Antonio Express-News reports. Customers will be able to enjoy meals from True Texas BBQ, the grocery chain's barbecue brand. The restaurant will also serve breakfast tacos, because of course it will.

"Even if families don't need to necessarily do a full shop, the True Texas BBQ will be a spot where families can go and dine together and enjoy what is arguably some of the best barbecue in Texas," H-E-B spokesperson Dya Campos told the Express-News Wednesday.
Sadly for Austinites, it looks like we're still stuck waiting in line at Franklin. So far, the only store to feature the True Texas BBQ restaurant will be in San Antonio, as part of a new 118,000-square-foot H-E-B in the southwest corner of Loop 1604 and Bulverde Road.
This in't the first time H-E-B has partnered with restaurants to enhance the grocery shopping experience. Hutto recently opened a 24-hour Whataburger drive-thru at one of its new H-E-B locations. And let's not forget you can also get that fancy Whataburger ketchup and Taco Cabana sauce at H-E-B.

Willie Nelson and Morgan Freeman hanging out on a bus is friendship goals
Getting a phone call to come hang out with Willie Nelson sounds like the dream, but can you imagine getting to chat with a Hollywood star too?
Country radio legend Bill Mack recently shared on Facebook that his pal called him to hang out on his bus in North Texas. And of all the people in the world, Morgan Freeman happened to be aboard too.
Mack asked the Oscar winner all about the movie biz. Freeman's favorite roles include "Shawshank Redemption," "Driving Miss Daisy," "Glory," and "Unforgiven." And Freeman, who turns 80 this year, shared some of his favorite movies, which all happened to be released before 1960.
As for what brought Freeman and Nelson together, it turns out the megawatt actor doesn't live in Hollywood. Like Mack, Nelson called up his famous friend, who lives in Clarksdale, Mississippi to hang and Freeman happily obliged.

Texas teen brags about stealing doughnuts from H-E-B
Protip: If you're going to be a thief, maybe don't brag about it on the internet.
The Donut Taco Palace on W. Hwy 290 is a popular morning destination for donuts and tacos of all kinds thanks to owner Angel Seng.
RALPH BARRERA/AMERICAN-STATESMAN
That's the lesson one Texas teenager learned this week when his tweet about "free donuts" at H-E-B stores caught the attention of thousands on Twitter.
"FREE DONUTS AT ANY HEB Just walk into the donut section and grab a free donut of any choice but must be eaten inside and away from employees," the teen's now-deleted tweet read, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
According to the Express-News, the teenager grabs a "free" doughnut every time he stops by an H-E-B Plus. But needless to say, H-E-B isn't giving away any free doughnuts, a spokesperson told the Express-News. The teenager's sticky fingers are the only reason he got a "free" treat—so maybe don't try this at your neighborhood H-E-B.

You might know Ronco Brands, a new Austin-based holding company, has filed to raise $30 million in an initial public offering.
Founded by inventor and entrepreneur Ron Popeil in 1964, Ronco is famous for gadgets sold on late-night infomercials. Though it has struggled financially in recent years, Ronco maintains that it has sold over $2 billion in Ronco-branded products in the U.S. since its inception.
Let's look back at a few classics from decades ago:
Take that, BeDazzler!
Awww, yiss. The original gangster.
Perpetuating stereotypes and enabling creeps in cars since 1978!
Hear that? That's the sound of every hipster in town flocking to eBay …
Nothing says sex appeal like "rich foamy dust."
"Want to come over? I got 'Boogie Nights.'" "On DVD?" "Nah, baby. On 8-track!"

187 years ago, Texas' first immigration ban didn't go over well
The government was deeply concerned. Immigrants were pouring into their northern lands. Immigrants who were armed. Who did not accept their values. And, perhaps most terrifyingly, did not share their religion.
Building a border wall, of course, wasn't remotely feasible. But if they had tried, it wouldn't have been on the Rio Grande (or Rio Bravo as they called it). It would have been on the Red River.
We're talking about Mexico in 1830, of course. A decade after Spanish authorities had welcomed settlers from the United States to help colonize Texas, newly-independent Mexico was beginning to realize that this was not going to end well for them.
So on this day in 187 years ago, the Mexican Congress issued the Law of April 6, 1830. Article 11 of that decree expressly forbid, according to T.R. Fehrenbach's "Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans," any "further colonization of the Mexican territory by citizens of adjacent countries."
It was an immigration ban. Aimed at the United States.
The immigrants did not take it well. The Texas colonists were not only insulted, but were counting on growth to fuel their economy.
For years, embroiled in its own fight for independence and a hampered by political upheaval, Mexico had given little thought to its Texas territory. When they realized that the Texas colonists had little intention of assimilating into Mexican culture, it was too late.
As Fehrenbach notes:
"The Mexican mistake, beyond the original allowing of a large horde of self-discliplined, armed land seekers to cross the borders, was in permitting the Anglos to create, without hindrance, their own community within nominal Mexican territory."
Stephen F. Austin would travel to Mexico to appeal the decree to a government still in flux and eventually did get Article 11 repealed in 1833 — just before he was imprisoned in solitary confinement at the ancient Prison of the Inquisition, according to Fehrenbach.
Other efforts by Mexico to put its stamp on Texas — collecting customs and garrisoning more troops (including convict conscriptees) there — helped fuel the fires of revolution. There were disturbances in Anahuac. A battle in Velasco.
By 1835, the Texas Revolution had begun.

Bet you can guess Texas' most embarrassing online search habit
Last week, Republicans in Congress passed the repeal of an Internet privacy rule implemented by the FCC last year. The rule would have prohibited Internet service providers from selling the browsing history of their customers.
FILE — Computers at the 53rd Street branch of the New York Public Library system, in New York, June 14, 2016. The House voted on Tuesday March 28, 2017, largely along party lines, to dismantle rules created by the FCC requiring broadband providers get permission before collecting data on a user?s online activity. (Santiago Mejia/The New York Times)
The repeal doesn't necessarily mean your browsing history is for sale, but if it is, and you're a Texan, you're in trouble. Or rather, you might be in trouble if you're embarrassed about searching for pornography.
More: Almost every U.S. representative from Central Texas voted for repeal of Internet privacy rule
The folks over at High Speed Internet have compiled a list of each state's "online guilty pleasure," and Texas residents apparently like searching for "XXX Content," as the list calls it. Texans aren't alone; porn was also the top guilty pleasure for Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana and New Mexico.
Other big "guilty pleasures": Alaska really loves Googling celebrity news, Florida is big into "sugar daddy" sites, Utah can't get enough fitness models, Colorado likes "fail videos," and Mississippi residents love themselves some "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)."

It was a good week for Chuck Norris, but who else is an honorary Texan?
The Texas Senate named Chuck Norris an honorary Texan on Tuesday. This was not because Chuck showed up and roundhouse-kicked everyone into submission — naming honorary Texans is something the legislature does on a regular basis. Even for lesser mortals.
Who else, you are asking, has received this honor?
Well, in 2015, the Legislature was busy making Texans. Most notably, British singer Phil Collins got the Lone Star stamp of approval for his efforts on behalf of the Alamo. Also actor Gary Sinise was honored for his work advocating for veterans.
But other honorary Texans minted in 2015 include Albanian artist Genc Mulliqi, Czech Republic exchange student Vladimir Jaskevic, UT basketball coach Shaka Smart and former Philadelphia Eagles player Troy Vincent.
The resolution can be introduced in the House or in the Senate or it can be a concurrent resolution, such as the one in 2015 that declared May 26 to be John Wayne Day for a 10-year period. Often such resolutions simply absolve newborns unlucky enough to be born outside state lines, but lucky enough to have relatives with friends in high places.
Sometimes it's weird. In 2011, a House Resolution granted posthumous Texan-ness to Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, for reasons nearly a half-dozen "whereas"es couldn't make clear.
One particularly good story is the one of famous naturalist John James Audubon. After a visit to Texas in 1837, a senator in Texas' fledgling government proposed to make Audubon an honorary Texan. Or Texian, as they said then. It went nowhere and stayed that way until 1985, when Sen. Carlos Truan sponsored a new resolution, which was easily adopted.
But the Lege doesn't have all the fun. Texas governors can declare honorary Texans, too. Then-Gov. Rick Perry went nearly full partisan in his declarations: Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rudy Giuliani, Glenn Beck and … Rush Limbaugh. (He also dubbed singer Chris Knight and actor Russell Crowe, for a little balance.)
Gov. George W. Bush was a little more, ahem, presidential in his selections. He made several prime ministers and other foreign dignitaries honorary Texans … and Bob Dylan, too.
Gov. Ann Richards kept it a little weirder. Under her watch, the parents of Jerry Jeff Walker, Bob Hope, Don McLean and Arnold Schwarzenegger became honorary Texans.
Perhaps the oddest honorary Texan ever was Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania's brutal communist leader until 1989. When Gov. Dolph Briscoe honored him, we're willing to bet he didn't anticipate Ceaușescu would be the only honorary Texan to be executed by a firing squad.

San Antonio event planner: 'Don't call my black-owned business asking me to plan your plantation wedding'
A black San Antonio-based event planner is speaking out against the racial undertones connected with plantation weddings.
According to ATTN, Jordan A. Maney is the owner and founder of All the Days Event Company in San Antonio. Maney said she received a call from a bride recently asking her to plan a wedding at Kendall Plantation in Boerne, just outside of San Antonio. ATTN reports it's unclear if Kendall Plantation was the former home of slaves, but the venue's website states it was built "just for weddings" in 2011.
Instagram / @kendallplantation
ATTN excerpted a few lines from the website's "about us" section, some of which appears to have been removed since the article's publication.
Some of the text referenced above seems to have been removed from the website. (Screenshot via ATTN)
"The name Kendall Plantation represents the county in which it rests (Kendall) and the architecture of a Southern antebellum home," the website now reads, without mention of the land's former use as "a plantation for growing cotton and other crops."
The website still goes on to state that the venue is modeled after "true Southern Louisiana Plantation homes" and says, "The history of the land has been preserved, as we have kept original items used to work the ranch centuries ago; they are on display in unique spots along the property."
Maney told ATTN having a wedding at a former plantation was like "having a wedding at a grave-site," saying she didn't understand why these aspects of history are "glamorized."
"In the state of Texas we do have a Confederate history day, and it's still very well practiced," Maney told ATTN. "The idea of Southern pride tied to the Civil War is still around, but I don't know why it gets glamorized and fantasized about."
After Maney received the phone call from the couple requesting the wedding at Kendall Plantation, she wrote on Facebook (in a post that is now not available on her page), "DON'T CALL MY BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS ASKING ME TO PLAN YOUR PLANTATION WEDDING." In the comments, she later detailed how the conversation with the bride unfolded, according to a screenshot captured by ATTN.
ATTN says it has reached out to Kendall Plantation for comment, but has not yet heard back. However, Kendall Plantation posted the following photo on their Instagram on Tuesday, clarifying the venue was built "from the ground up exclusively for weddings."

Five odd spots in Texas to look up for 'Read a Road Map Day'
We had a subscription to National Geographic when I was young, back when you couldn't buy it on the newsstand, and it seemed like being part of a secret club. And every few issues, a bonus! One would arrive with a map inside.
Not just any map, mind you. A National Geographic map — the best a boy could get. I would pore over them for hours, looking for lochs in Scotland, mountains in Chile, deserts in Namibia, weird places in Yugoslavia.
So I'm feeling a bit sentimental over "Read a Road Map Day," which I found out just a few minutes ago was today. I didn't have it circled on my calendar, I admit.
I still have road maps in my car. Perhaps it was seeing the early days of online maps, when asking for directions always steered you toward the nearest interstate (sorry, Yahoo, but I am NOT going from San Angelo to Austin via Abilene). Or perhaps it is an antiquated sense of masculine pride that, damn it, I know where I'm going … but I never cared for GPS. And I'm not going to ask my phone how to get there.
So let's celebrate road maps today. Here are five odd places you can get to from Austin (with links to an online map, because, well, this is the internet) …
1. Ding Dong Tx. On Highway 195 between Killeen and Florence. The name is said to have come from a sign on a store owned by early settlers Zulis and Bert Bell.
2. Oatmeal Tx. On FM 243, southwest of Bertram. The annual Oatmeal Festival (in nearby Bertram) began in 1978 as a parody of the then-hot chili cookoff craze.
3. Click Tx. Off County Road 308, west of Texas 71 between Horseshoe Bay and Llano. Now a ghost town, it was named for settler Malachi Click.
4. Dime Box Tx. South of State Highway 21 and Old Dime Box. In the 1940s, a CBS broadcast kicked off a March of Dimes drive from Dime Box, according to the Handbook of Texas Online.
5. Nada, Tx. On Texas 71, between Columbus and El Campo. Even before I learned the name was Spanish for "nothing," I was always amused by the sign on the town store. "Well if it's Nada Grocery Store, what is it?" was the joke that never got old. But the name comes from a third source: najda is the Czechoslovakian word for "hope." Rounding out the odd, the town's original name was Vox Populi.

"It's a wonderful experience to represent Austin, Texas, my Hispanic community, and my community here in Austin," Fontaine told Austin360 before the debut of "Drag Race" season 8. "We are equipped with great performers — female, male, androgynous, campy, trashy, whatever — and this city provides everything in between. So I'm just proud that I can represent a little piece of that and share it with the entire world."
Oilcan Harry's will host "Drag Race" viewing parties all season on Friday nights, so you can root for Fontaine on her home turf. Watch Fontaine's "Meet the Queens" interview for season 9 below.

We have acquired an unusually vast amount of stuff to take home, this trip. We had come prepared with an extra suitcase, but we've still ended up borrowing one to bring home. Once we've dispersed the loot amongst the family it won't be so dramatic a haul, but there's still an Unusually Large amount of stuff this time around. Fewer books than usual, mind you, but still not an insignificant number, and an awful lot of clothes and just…stuff!
Although I'm going to also have to get myself an armband or something so I don't have to actually lug the backpack around any time I want to go for a Walk With Music.
V-necked shirts and sports bras, she said, nodding sagely.
Oh, and GotG is what?
So the story is if Joanne can follow your fudge recipe, anyone can?
Or am I right to suspect a lot more mess and burnt sugar?


This is a structured wine with its tight acidity and concentrated white and citrus fruits. Produced from a small parcel on the Chevalier estate, it is complex with its mineral texture, its touch of pepper and its fine herbal acidity. It is a wine for long-term aging. Drink from 2023.
Focused, with a graphite edge that runs from start to finish alongside the dark plum and blackberry purée flavors. Reveals a pretty echo of anise through the finish, which has latent depth. Solid. Best from 2018 through 2026. 10,000 cases made.

ABC Studios' profile within the Disney-ABC Television Group has been rising over the past eight months. In February, following the exit of ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee, the reporting structure was changed, with ABC Studios head Patrick Moran, previously reporting to Lee, now reporting directly to Disney Media Networks co-chairman Ben Sherwood, a move giving the studio more autonomy and a seat at the table. And last month, when Moran re-upped his contract, he was promoted from EVP to president.
During his time so far, Moran has led the building up of the studio from a production arm of ABC into a supplier for broadcast, cable and streaming networks with such series as the two Criminal Minds shows and Code Black on CBS; Marvel series on Netflix, Hulu and Freeform; and comedy pilot SMILF on Showtime. Through the ABC Signature division launched by Moran, the studio has projects in the works at virtually every cable and streaming network.
ABC Studios, home of producers Shonda Rhimes, Kenya Barris and John Ridley, currently supplies the vast majority of ABC's drama lineup and has launched its first syndicatable comedy series in a decade with Barris' Black-ish. As the studio's latest comedy series, American Housewife, premieres on ABC tonight, Moran sat down with Deadline to discuss the studio's new position, the challenges to attract and keep top talent in the era of Peak TV, program ownership, international and digital strategy, and the current development season, which Moran believes will produce lighter dramas than the last few years.
DEADLINE: How have things changed in the way the studio is run and the way you do business with ABC and outside networks under the new structure?
MORAN: I think it's changed for the better. I think that there's an expectation now that we will always keep ABC as our primary customer, but there should be enough flexibility to go outside when it makes sense, so I think the balance of that has been a little bit easier in this new structure.
DEADLINE: You just renewed your contract. Looking back at your time at ABC Studios, what are your biggest accomplishments so far and what are things that you would've done differently? Anything you would like to change in your second term?
MORAN: When I got to ABC Studios I came in as the head of drama. The first year, I felt like there was a number of things that we wanted to do. I think first and foremost I think we wanted to revitalize the roster of talent. We got Once Upon A Time, Scandal and Revenge picked up that first year so it was a good start, and I think it was also the right way to realign ourselves with the network. I think we've done a really good job of repopulating the drama series on ABC Thursday night. Grey's Anatomy was on when I got there, but we've done Scandal and Murder together, Once Upon A Time, Quantico, Secrets & Lies on Sunday night, and we reached out to other broadcast networks with Code Black and the Criminal Minds spinoff, so I think we've done what we wanted to do, which was get as much programming on ABC as we could but find the right opportunities outside. So I think in that respect we're moving in the right direction.
DEADLINE: You mentioned several dramas. What about comedies?
MORAN: Comedy was a lot harder than drama. There were fewer resources at the studio when I got there. Amy Hartwick came over to work with me in comedy and to her credit together we've really bolstered up that comedy roster. I feel like we now have planted a flag on Wednesday night with Black-ish, which was important to us. I think it's also been good because I think it becomes a beacon for more talent. They're looking at us and they can see that we're legitimately in the comedy business. We have The Real O'Neals and now American Housewife. I'm very happy that now Black-ish speaks to the kinds of things that we like which is a very specific point of view. Obviously it's a show that is known for being very inclusive in terms of diversity, so I think it's a good prototype of what we'd like to do more of.
DEADLINE: Going forward, where do you want to take ABC Studios?
MORAN: I think from here we want to make sure that we continue to hold onto as much as possible of the real estate at ABC. I think we want to continue to build out of the other broadcast networks. We've been just now starting to expand into cable. That's the next push for us, whether it's basic or premium cable. It's something that we've dipped our toe in previously but that's a huge priority for us, and then beyond that international is the next pillar of our business that I think that we want to really focus on.
DEADLINE: What is your international strategy? Co-productions, local productions?
MORAN: I think it could be any number of things. I think it could be a local production, and we have some ideas about local productions that we're working on right now. It could be a co-production. We have development set up at some of the other broadcasters out of the UK. We could be producing a show out of Europe and then selling it back to the U.S. I think it's going to be a portfolio of the types of shows we're pursuing and we're just now getting started. (UK-based ABC development executive) Keli Lee's there not even six months but together we're really trying to build that out to make that the next part of our focus in terms of growing our business.
DEADLINE: International is more and more important for drama series as the off-network market is drying up, so it's streaming/international sales that bring in revenue. When you develop dramas, what business factors do you take into account? Is the global appeal of a show important?
MORAN: It's a really tricky balance because we're really trying to serve the broadcast network first because that's the one that you have to satisfy. We have been including our international partners on the sales team in a conversation much earlier so that they know what we're pursuing and that they can at least be mindful of the types of material we're looking to develop, so we check in with them periodically over the year. You're right in that the international revenue becomes a bigger and bigger piece of that pie every year so you have to be mindful that whatever you're doing may then travel, but it's a tricky balance because it has to live and survive on the broadcast network first.
DEADLINE: What about program ownership? There has been a big push for that by the networks. You're affiliated with a network, so on one hand it works in your favor with ABC, but you face the problem when trying to sell to other networks.
MORAN: I think five years ago a lot of people would have said no to co-productions at all. I think we know which studios were completely closed to that. As we're doing more business with the other broadcasting networks we're finding that it's sort of easy to be reciprocal. We're doing something at Fox and 20th wants to participate. The next time 20th is at ABC and we want to participate, it makes it easier to cross back and forth. We tend to operate: How would we feel if we were the other studio, what kind of deal would we be comfortable with if we were being either kissed into something or we're even being asked to bring somebody else in? It's a much bigger issue for how we structure these deals. We're in the same boat as Fox and 20th and NBC and Universal and CBS and CBS Studios and we're working with all of them.
Image courtesy of Fox
DEADLINE: You and 20th TV introduced that practice of "trading horses", exchanging co-productions, with Fox's Grandfathered and ABC's Runner. Do you think that will continue and expand to other studios?
MORAN: We're all much more open to it than we were before. I think everybody sort of understands that it's part of the new normal for us. You do take it on a case by case. Not everything you're excited to share, but I think everybody also wants some skin in the game when it comes to making those decisions. I think for us there's probably value in allowing the studio to have some ownership in an effort to keep that show on a schedule at that network, if that makes sense.
DEADLINE: What about digital shortform programming? Is that a new priority area for ABC Studios?
MORAN: That's something else that we're just now starting to have a conversation about. I think as a studio we want to have a better sense of how the short-form digital space works. I think it's a good opportunity to incubate talent. The idea that everything should be going into a traditional development and then pilot process, I think we need to be more flexible about, so I think on the comedy side in particular it seems like a good opportunity to either identify talent and incubate something or try something or be more experimental. So yes it's something that's another avenue that we're pursuing this year; we'd like to create a digital department inside the studio.
DEADLINE: Is that content targeted for the ABC app?
MORAN: It could be but not limited to that. We're meeting with a number of different partners.
DEADLINE: How difficult is it to attract and to keep talent these days at a studio that has been primarily focused on supplying a broadcast network?
MORAN: It's challenging just because there's so many places making shows. The talent pool's not getting exponentially deeper to accommodate the growth in original content. I believe that the studio is as strong as the talent that lives there, so it's sort of critical to our business.
DEADLINE: But how do you attract new talent and how do you keep the existing ones? You were able to sign John Ridley, though longtime ABC Studios producer Mark Gordon opted to go independent for instance.
John Ridley Photograph by Dan Doperalski
MORAN: Well, John Ridley is a perfect example, actually. I think with someone like John, we have the home-court advantage at ABC. I think collectively, between network and studio, we worked really hard to keep American Crime on the schedule. And when John wants to do something else or pursue a cable project, I think we can afford him as many options as any studio can.
DEADLINE: So what would be your pitch to high-level talent? We are flexible and we offer back-end that would never be possible at Netflix?
MORAN: It's really like we give you the best of both worlds. We're aligned with the network. We have a great relationship with them but we're also flexible enough to take the material outside and I think the writers that have deals at the studio are our best ambassadors. I think if you were to talk to John Ridley or talk to Kenya Barris, they feel like they get enormous support from this studio be it creatively or financially or whatever it is. I think that we want them to be our calling card and I think we've been really successful in maintaining those partnerships and when asked, I think they only have good things to say about the studio.
DEADLINE: How's your relationship with Marvel going? Do you have a say or are they running their company pretty autonomously?
ABC/Kelsey McNeal
MORAN: The Marvel relationship has really evolved. It's in a good place. On their television side, they too are really ambitious. They have the Netflix shows. They have Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC. They're talking about other things they could possibly be developing for ABC network. They now have Runaways on Hulu, Cloak And Dagger on Freeform. Together I think we've been able to grow their business in streaming, in broadcast and now on cable. They're very strategic internally about which titles they'll exploit in television and which ones they'll pursue for features, so they often tell us these are the ones we have that Marvel collectively decided that we can pursue and then together we talk about, OK, maybe that title goes here or that title goes there. We can also help them identify writers that we're in deals with us that we put on one of their projects.
DEADLINE: Will there be a new Marvel series for next season on ABC?
MORAN: It's a little early to tell.
DEADLINE: Any titles that you could mention as being explored?
MORAN: No.
DEADLINE: What about a Star Wars series. Is it moving closer to reality?
MORAN: Not yet. Not yet.
DEADLINE: Or anything else with Lucasfilm?
MORAN: There's one thing that's been mentioned to me as something to pursue in the future.
DEADLINE: What is your take on the current selling season? Word is that the networks are buying less because there are fewer pitches.
MORAN: It's been a really slow season. I think with so much activity in the scripted space there were a lot of writers that were busy, first of all, so it took us a longer time to identify people that had a window to write. I think it's also challenging with 400-plus shows already in production to identify an idea that's not being pursued in another show, so I think it's harder for writers to figure out what's not being done elsewhere. And I think that the networks have been really selective in a good way. They're just not sort of buying for the sake of buying. But the slow start also gives me anxiety because I feel like if it leads too deep into October it gives the writers less time to write their scripts because they'll still need the material in January for going to pilot production. So, yes, sluggish. I think at the end of the day I feel confident we're going to have really good choices and the right number of choices, and I do think we'll have the right portfolio of material at all of the broadcast networks, so I'm feeling encouraged this minute.
DEADLINE: What are some trends you have noticed? What genres seems to be in demand?
MORAN: IP is strong again. I think the broadcast networks have embraced what they do really well. It could be a great character-driven procedural that probably doesn't really live in the streaming space or the cable space as comfortably as it does in the broadcast space, and I think we've come around that that's maybe not a bad thing. We have a number of those that are just great character-driven franchised shows which are priority for us both at ABC and outside, and I think there are a number of those that are good contenders. I also think that this year what we've discovered is that tone is really important and not every show that feels as dark or as — and this is the kind of an overused word — edgy, but the tone that might live very comfortably on a HBO or Netflix might not work as well in broadcast. And it's OK, I think, to be a little brighter, a little more escapist, a little more hopeful. I think we'll likely see a collection of lighter, brighter, pilots come January that's been a shift from years past.

Are you making money through your website? In addition to having a strong social media presence and a using a creative web design for your main site, using a reliable web hosting service is one of the keys to success in today's business world. When it comes to web hosting, you have several options available to you, including shared hosting and VPS hosting. Using a VPS is recommended by many experts if you run a business website that is important to the success of your enterprise. Here are some of the main benefits of VPS hosting.
A VPS server can run the operating system of your choice, which will typically be one of the Linux distributions or a version of Windows Server. You'll get full root (or administrator) access to your server. This means that you can configure your server as you please and install any compatible software or scripts that you need, without being limited to the ones offered by your web hosting provider. The freedom to use the software you want can be quite important if you're building a more complex website or want to build cloud-based applications.
VPS hosting is often seen as more secure when compared to standard shared hosting. When you use a shared host, several websites are placed on one server. If one of the sites is infected by malware or suffers a security breach of some sort, all of the other websites on the server could be affected. When you use a VPS, you get a virtual server that is assigned to you. Only your own websites are hosted on the server, which reduces the chances of a security breach on another site affecting yours. Another benefit is that VPS servers give you more control over your security, allowing you to deploy your own firewall and anti-malware software.
With a VPS server, you get a slice of a physical server assigned to you. This means that you get a virtual CPU, plus an allotment of RAM and disk space for your use only. You don't share these server resources with any other websites. Having dedicated resources that only you control can greatly improve the performance of your website, as shared servers often get overloaded during times of peak usage. This better performance translates to better page load times, which creates a better experience for your users and also has SEO benefits.
Even though shared hosts often advertise that you can host an unlimited number of domains under one account, most don't provide you with enough server resources to host several websites together without running into performance issues. As a VPS gives you a dedicated allotment of server resources, you'll be able to comfortably host several websites on your server.
Having the ability to host multiple websites can be very beneficial to some business users. If you provide web design, social media marketing or SEO services to your clients, you could offer to host their web pages for them as a value-added service. Even if you only host websites for yourself, you might want to expand your online presence in the future and add some mini-sites for specific products or promotions that will complement your main business website.
While VPS hosting costs a bit more than shared hosting, it's still a lot more affordable than getting a dedicated server. An increase in competition in the hosting industry during the last few years has also resulted in the price of VPS servers dropping. This means that even the tiny businesses and startups can experience the benefits of VPS web hosting.
As you can see, there are many benefits to using a VPS server for your business web hosting needs. VPS servers are able to provide you with the power, flexibility and reliability that you need, all while being an affordable hosting option.
