The Earley war memorial porch plans were altered to save money.
Memorial Porch Committee Meeting
There was a good attendance on October 16. Present: The Chairman, Mr Churchwarden Brown and Mr FB East (hon. Treasurers), Messrs. W B Waters, H B Mole, W Lawrence, A H Salman, H Masters, H Knapman, J A Murray, G C T Carter, F C Edwards, E Clayton Jones, E Long; Ladies – Mrs Newbery, Miss Goose, Miss Lawrence, Miss Driscoll, Miss G Fanstone.
The meeting was occupied with many matters of importance for an hour and a half. It was decided by a majority of votes that a resolution to line the porch with stone to be rescinded on the grounds of expense, and that the walls be plastered. It was agreed that the question of slate or stone material for the slab upon which the names be inscribed be left to the judgement of the architect; and the committee confirm their previous resolution that all parishioners should have the right to place names of their sons who died on this tablet; they felt, however, that it was not desirable that this should be done in cases where the names were associated with a memorial in another church, without special reason. The chairman produced some figures supplied by the builder which are of general interest:-
Estimated cost of Porch	£559 13s 0d
Less nett cost of stone lining	£20 18s 0d
£538 15s 0d
Add cost of figure in niche, also slate or stone tablet with names cut, amount uncertain, Architect's commission of 10% on above amount
£53 17s 6d
At the close of the meeting the treasurers made the following statement
Subscriptions paid or promised, as already announced in October Magazine
£482 0s 2d
Less unredeemed promises	£2 1s 6d
Collection at dedication festival	£39 11s 0d
New subscriptions Oct 16	£11 5s 5d
The next meeting of the committee was fixed for Nov 20 at 7.30pm
The work is now growing rapidly, and it is interesting to watch the plan of dovetailing the new work into the old wall of the present building. To do this the old north doorway had to be lowered to meet the timbered ceiling of the porch, a new arch has also been turned on the inside and the door cut down correspondingly. Thus the new doors and doorway will be considerably lower. Adjoining this doorway, about three feet eastward, will be a small door leading to the stairs to the chamber over the porch. The stairway is cut partly in the thickness of the wall and abuts in part on the floor of the porch, being concealed by brick walls. For this purpose one of two lights has been removed and there remains one single window just east of the stairs doorway. This light will be filled with beautiful glass painted by Mr Bewsey, representing S George. It is a gift from Mr B H Butler in memory of his son Benjamin James Butler whose ship was torpedoed in the Mediterranean. The glass is finished and ready for fixing. The ceiling of the porch will be built of rebated oak joists with oak panels to ceiling covered with deal floor (above) and a layer of felt between. The chamber above will thus be impervious to sound and draught. It has been decided to plaster the walls of the interior; and not as stated last month to line the porch with stone; the expense, £20 18s, seemed not justified by the advantage.

It is very important that the list of names of those who died should be accurate
Plans were well advanced for the memorial at St Bartholomew's Church.
The War Memorial
The committee met on Sept 4 at 7.30pm. There was a good attendance. Present: The Chairman, Mr Churchwarden Brown and Mr FB East (hon. Treasurers), the Rev. H B Mead, Messrs. W Lawrence, A H Salman, H Masters, J A Murray, G C Sturgess, T R Stevens, E Clayton Jones, A J H Wright, E Long; Ladies – Mrs Newbery, Miss Goose, Miss Stevens, Miss Lawrence, Miss Driscoll, Miss Type.
The minutes of the last meeting were confirmed. The chairman read a letter from the architect saying that the drawings for the builder were on the point of completion. It was suggested that the names be cut into the oak panelling to avoid difficulty in adding names sent in late and to avoid expense. It was agreed that the porch be lined with stone and the two shields carved with emblems. Mrs Newbery kindly consented to include the lower part of Cumberland Road in her district. Subscriptions received to date were paid in, with one new promise. The treasurers reported at the close of the proceedings as follows:-
Subscriptions paid or promised, as already announced	£455	10s	0d
New subscriptions Sept 4	£21	10s	2d
New promises	£5	0s	0d
The date of the next committee meeting was fixed for Thurs Oct 16 at 7.30pm.
Since the above meeting, a letter has been received from Mr Comper suggesting that the shields should bear "the three knives ascribed to S Bartholomew on one and Reading (emblem) on the other." He is glad that the committee consents to stone lining of the porch, and adds "You must have the names cut on a stone or slate (and not oak) slab which will form part of the stone lining of the walls recessed within a simple shallow moulding. This, I believe, will cost no more, and be durable, and part of the fabric as it ought to be. The slab need not be fixed till the walls are built…. I dare say that you will be content with the surnames and initials …. Prefixed by some inscription.
Upon this we would say that it is very important that the list of names of those who died should be accurate, and any known name, not at present posted up in the church under the flag, should be given to the Vicar without delay.
Mr F N A Garry has presented a stone beautifully carved with old Christian emblems, which Mr Comper desires to be placed 5 feet from the floor within the porch on the west wall south of the entrance. We have also to thank Mr S Newbery for making a copy of the drawing of the porch which is hung on the church door.

On the eve of Victory Day
Work was progressing slowly on the Earley St Bartholomew war memorial porch.
Those who are following the progress of this fund month by month will be glad of an account of the last committee meeting on July 18. Being on the eve of Victory Day the meeting was not well attended. This was unfortunate, but the fixture had been made. There were present – The Vicar in the chair, Mr Richard Brown, hon. Treasurer (his co-treasurer being on holiday and away from home), Mr George Love, Mr FC Edwards, Mr H Mole, Mr E Clayton Jones, Mr E Long, Mr H Masters, Mrs Newbery, Miss Goose, Miss H L Stevens, Mr D Lawrence, and Miss Ashcroft.
Collectors for Cumberland Road were appointed, Mr Long and Miss Stevens volunteering for this work. Subscriptions received to date were paid in, together with some new promises. The hon. Treasurer ereported at the close of proceedings as follows
Subscriptions paid or promised, as already announced	£407	8s	1d
New subscriptions July 18	£32	5s	6d
Collection in church (Peace Sunday)	£10	11s	5d
This figure, with a few pounds which came in after the meeting ended represents an increase of £50 from June 13 to July 18, and one which greatly encourages us to hope for a further advance by Sept 4 (Thursday) the date of the next committee meeting. The builder has made all the preparations for the work and is waiting for the working drawings of the stonework. At the present moment church architects are pressed with work, and we must wait patiently our turn. A drawing of the porch shewing the elevation as seen looking from S Bartholomew's Road will shortly be hung in the church, and we invite everyone to study it.

Gratitude for deliverance from the German menace
The committee met on June 13.
Present: The vicar, the Rev. H B Mead, the two churchwardens, Messrs F B East, W B Waters, H Masters, E Long, G C Sturgess, H B Mole, E Clayton Jones, A H Salman, J A Murray, H Knapman, T R Stevens, F C Edwards, G C Love. Ladies: D A Lawrence, G Fanstone, E Type, N Driscoll, A L Martin, H L Stevens, S Goose, B Newbery. The appointment of Mr Richard Brown and Mr Frank B East as joint treasurers of the fund met with approbation. The newly elected treasurers proceeded to receive the first payments, and a first and most gratifying instalment, in cash and promises, the amount of £407 8s 1d was returned. It was resolved to ask the builder to proceed with the work with as little delay as possible. The committee adjourned to Friday 18 July.
This glorious start, recorded above, may rightly call for a word in these pages. There are hundreds of people round about the church who may like to have a share in this Memorial; and the generosity of the first givers will, we hope, move them to follow their example. As we may have said before, we do not want to beg anyone to give to our memorial porch; we only desire to ask them to decide whether or not they will show their gratitude for deliverance from the German menace in this way. Those who have given, and those who mean to give, know that a considerable sum must be yet obtained if the architect's fee and builders expenses are to be met. We have a large and determined committee, and they may be relied upon to bring the matter under the notice of the parishioners and worshippers of the church. Outside these there are but a few that can be approached; the amount must be raised amongst ourselves, and we are confident that it will be raised.

Gratitude for deliverance
The Earley war memorial was on its way.
The committee met on Friday 17 May.
Present: The Vicar in the chair, Mr. Churchwarden Brown, Messrs H Masters, A H Salman, G C Sturgess, T R Stevens, E Clayton Jones, H Mole, F B East, H knapman, F C Edwards, H A Box, A J H Wright, Mrs Newbury, Miss Driscoll, Miss G Fanstone, Miss Goose, Miss Type, Miss H L Stevens, Miss D Lawrence.
The architect's design and drawings were on view and the builder's specification and estimate were read. It was resolved unanimously that the work be carried out as soon as possible.
The Committee decided to keep the subscription list open, and to issue a subscription list with names of contributors on the completion of the work; also, that a monthly statement of sums raised should be published in the Magazine during the summer.
The Committee was of the opinion that only the names of parishioners who had laid down their lives should be inscribed on the panels, but they reserved their final decision upon this point.
The chairman urged that all contributions should be given in a spirit of thanksgiving and that this was not an occasion for an ordinary appeal for subscriptions. He thought many persons giving in such spirit would prefer to give (in whole or part) anonymously, but whether this was so or not, he hoped a sense of gratitude for deliverance would govern all gifts made.
The committee adjourned to Friday June 13.

A united Act of thanksgiving for the deliverance from the grave peril which threatened the lives and liberties of Englishmen
The war memorial porch at St Bartholomew's would be quite expensive.
The [war memorial] committee met on March 19 and in spite of the snow and cold all were present except Rev. H B Mead, Mr R Brown, Mr Walters, Mr Love, Mr Long, Miss Type, and Miss Goose. Mr Box was elected onto the committee. Much useful work was done and the following leaflet for distribution was approved:-
S Bartholomew's Parish War Memorial
It was resolved at a general meeting of parishioners on March 13, of which public notice was given, to make a united Act of thanksgiving for the deliverance from the grave peril which threatened the lives and liberties of Englishmen, and issued in the Great War. The meeting decided to build a beautiful and commodious North Porch on the London Road side of S Bartholomew's church, and to inscribe on its walls the names of all the men connected with this parish who had laid down their lives in the War.
It was further determined to invite contributions from all persons living in the parish or worshipping at the church, who are disposed to take part in this common Act of Thanksgiving, as a lasting memorial of their sacrifice.
£500 is asked for.
Donations should be entered in the book of an accredited collector. A balance sheet of all the receipts and expenditure will be issued by the committee.
Signed E J Norris Chairman of Committee
The next meeting of the committee was fixed for April 9 at 7pm in the parish hall.

A thankoffering for deliverance from the great menace and peril, and a memorial in honour of those who had by their deaths saved England
There was an animated debate in Earley regarding the war memorial at St Bartholomew's.
War Memorial Meeting
A well attended meeting of parishioners and worshippers at our church was held on March 13. The Vicar was voted into the chair, and set out the steps which had led to that gathering. He said he thought he might take it for granted that the desire of all of them was, first to make a thankoffering for deliverance from the great menace and peril, secondly to embody with this act of thanksgiving some memorial in honour of those who had by their deaths saved England. They had no wish merely to commemorate the event in history of the great European War of 1914-1918. Any memorial raised would have a religious character, and therefore might well be associated with the parish church. He said that the Parochial Church council, at whose instance this general meeting had been called, put forward two well considered suggestions as to the form the memorial should take; these were (1) the building of a large and useful north porch, with a record on the walls of the names of those who had given their lives; and (2) the panelling of the Lady Chapel and, if possible, the painting of some glass in that chapel. These were two suggestions only, and he invited more from the meeting.
On resuming his seat, Mr Crapp rose and advocated the painting of one or more of the windows in the church; Mr Box seconded this. Mr T Hayward proposed the decoration and completion of S. John's chapel. Miss Matthews suggested the endowment of a memorial bed at the hospital and a mural tablet at the church; Miss E L Norris seconded this. Mr R Brown advanced the claims of the north porch and of the Lady chapel; Mr Whatley supported him.
In the discussion the following took part:- Mr Wright, Mrs Norris, Mr Lawrence, Mr Mole and others, and on a vote being taken 36 were given for the church porch, the Lady chapel scheme receiving 12 and second place. Questions were asked respecting the cost of building, and the chairman expressed some little doubt of their ability to raise a sufficient sum. However, his hesitation was not shared by Mr Frank East, whose comment evoked applause from the meeting. A committee was appointed to carry out the scheme. (List of names supplied).

A good moon
The Winkfield war memorial was under consideration.
PARISH MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN.
A Public Meeting to discuss ideas and plans for erecting a suitable Memorial for Winkfield men who have died in the war, will be held in the Parish Room, on Wednesday, Feb. 12th, at 8 p.m.
There should be a good moon on that night, and we hope it will be a fine evening, and that as many as possible will attend.
PARISH MEMORIAL OF THE FALLEN
Notice of a Public Meeting to be held in the Parish Room, on Wednesday, Feb. 12th, in order to discuss ideas and plans for erecting a suitable memorial for Winkfield men, who have died in the freat war, was given in the February number of the Magazine; but unfortunately was printed so late that only a few received it in time to learn of the meeting, and the attendance was small.
The following resolutions were however unanimously passed:
(1.)	That this meeting cordially approves the suggestion for a worthy and permanent memorial for the men of Winkfield who have made the supreme sacrifice during the War.
(2.)	That whatever else may be done, a brass Memorial Tablet, inscribed with the names of Winkfield men who have fallen in the War should be set up in the Church.
Discussions took place as to the best form any further memorial should take, and three ideas was mooted.
(a.)	That a Memorial Cross should be erected opposite the lych gate of the churchyard.
(b.)	That the Parish Room should be improved and made more adaptable for meetings, entertainments, and all purposes of a village Institute.
(c.)	That this parish should join with others in helping to enlarge the Ascot Cottage Hospital which is a great benefit to the District.
A Committee consisting of the Vicar and Wardens, Lord George Pratt and Messrs. S. G. Asher, and G. Brown and H. Harrison, was appointed to fully consider these proposals in all their bearings, and then to report to a public meeting to be called later.

Shot through the head
News of the last days of Berkshire soliders continued to trickle in.
Sergeant A E Bolton (2nd DG, Queen's Bays), died in France; Private W H Brown (8th Royal Berks), twice wounded, and prisoner since last April (omitted before); Frank Hicks (2nd Royal Berks), at last officially presumed killed on 9th May, 1915; W Painter (RE), wounded and gassed; J W G Phillips (RAF Labour Company), killed; H J Pembroke (1st Royal Irish Fusiliers), killed in action, 1st October, 1918; G H Poulton-Smith (RGA), wounded; died (of pneumonia) in Italy.
Captain Bullivant's Death
One day last September, his unit, the 1st Middlesex Yeomanry, was holdig a line of out-posts in Palestine, when a Turkish column was reported to be moving across the front. He rode forward with an orderly to reconnoitre, sending his trumpeter back with orders for the squadron to follow. When they did, however, they at once came under fire, and had to go into action (no doubt dismounted), without having see him or being able to gather which way he had gone in the tangle of ridges and valleys; and the engagement continued for some hours, finishing up in the dark, miles from where it began. Search was made for him early next morning, and a patrol brought in his body. He had been shot through the head, and "must have come right on to them when he galloped over the ridge", writes his subaltern. His orderly had had his horse shot, and could not himself be traced at the time of writing. A gallant death: but a sad loss to his family and to this parish, in which he took great intrest, and in whose affairs we hoped he was destined to play an active part. He was a Rugby and Cambridge man.
Lieut. Alfred Searies has made a wonderful recovery, and been home on leave. He was buried and damaged while occupying a "pill-box", and only recovered consciousness five days later in hospital. His MC has been duly awarded him.

If you attend enough Hamptons house parties, they tend to blur together. At this one, held on a sunny afternoon at a whitewashed house with a pool (with gold and hot pink inflatable swan rafts drifting in it), there is fresh fruit and Champagne everywhere you turn. Beautiful women with flawless hair mill around, their dresses flowing (and their straw hats flapping) in the breeze. It's the sort of carefully engineered scene that's made to be Instagrammed. And, in case you forget the reason you're there, giant foam letters floating on top of the still water in the pool spell out "REVOLVE"—the name of the host and, of course, the hashtag.
Revolve is a Los Angeles clothing company on track to sell $400 million worth of dresses, hats, and other trendy young women's apparel this year. That's a multiple of what e-commerce peer Nasty Gal pulls in, and more than British luxury site Farfetch, which investors recently valued at $1 billion. It's more than twice as much as Jessica Alba's Honest Company, valued at $1.7 billion, is predicted to earn this year. And Revolve is profitable, having grown more than 50% each year since 2012.
But for its customers, who include not only the gypset set but those aspiring to it, Revolve has a cult status. Co-founders Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas, known as "The Mikes" to the company's 500 employees, have kept a low profile since they started the company more than a decade ago. They haven't rallied tech blog hype or campaigned for South by Southwest keynote speeches. They rejected big, impressive-sounding piles of venture capital money.
Revolve doesn't have a celebrity attached to its operations, like ShoeDazzle had with co-founder Kim Kardashian, or The Honest Company with Alba. And Revolve's origin story, while full of twists and turns, doesn't have the unconventional underdog narrative that Nasty Gal's Sophia Amoroso benefitted from. Simply, the story of how two dot-com guys carved out a sizable chunk of the women's apparel industry for themselves hasn't been told. It's a winding one that eschews the traditional routes to business success. Twelve years in, they're just getting started.
Mente and Karanikolas always had the entrepreneurial bug, influenced by their entrepreneur fathers and the startup fever sweeping across the United States in 1999. Mente even dropped out of the entrepreneurship program at University of Southern California a year early to join NextStrat, a software company based in nearby Newport Beach. There was one tiny issue, though: Mente and Karanikolas were late to the party. The dot-com bubble burst shortly after they joined NextStrat, leaving them to watch the venture capital-fueled technology companies collapse around them. NextStrat eventually went bankrupt and its assets were sold.
As the pair contemplated their next endeavor, they became fascinated by trends in online search. It was easy to see what people were searching for on the Internet—and more importantly, when those people weren't finding what they wanted. It was especially apparent for designer denim. Mente noticed that high-end designer jeans had taken over his hometown of Los Angeles, but local brands like 7 for All Mankind VFC 1.14% weren't sold online. "This is a high-ticket item that thousands of people are searching for, and you could literally only find four to six pairs online," he says.
So they began knocking on the doors of showrooms with their business plan in hand, asking designers to let them sell their jeans online. The big brands turned them down at first—7 for all Mankind came on board after two years of pitching—so they sold new and emerging designers. "It was networking and hustling for access for many years," Mente says. But it worked. By 2007, Revolve carried more than 1,000 brands.
Even though the Mikes knew little about the fashion business, they knew customers wanted choice and selection online. Revolve offered free shipping and returns, a strategy pioneered by Zappos. But Mente and Karanikolas realized their early success—and the designer denim trend—wouldn't last forever. "We knew other retailers would catch onto free shipping and returns and things like selection," Mente says. "We knew designer denim would become a commodity." Their young, trendsetting customer wanted to buy premium merchandise online. Revolve just needed to learn how to spot the next big trend.
So the Mikes figured out exactly who their customer was: a fashionable woman between the ages of 20 and 40 who has social media savvy and plenty of occasions to get dressed up and go out. She lives that slightly paradoxical L.A. lifestyle where eating healthy and going to yoga intersects with drinking cocktails and staying out late at the club.
As Revolve grew, the Mikes learned the importance of staying ahead of trends. "Riding a trend all the way down," as Mente calls it, works in the short term, but can damage the brand over time. Take the dreaded Juicy Couture velour tracksuit. No single article of clothing could better symbolize the style of the mid-2000s. At the time, Revolve was selling a lot of them. ("And selling them and selling them and selling them," Mente says.) But it eventually became clear that the orders were no longer coming from Revolve's core customer. "It was the late adopters, the latest adopters, and not the people who are going to keep coming back to us and be our long-term customers," he says.
Now, when a trend hits, Revolve abandons it the minute it goes mass market. Last year, when the company's competitors were discounting their wedge sneakers because they had excess inventory, Revolve was already selling studded boots. "If you ride a trend too far, it's hard to get the customer back," Mente says.
In just a few years, Revolve had turned the Mikes' $50,000 nest egg into a profitable business with $100 million in sales. The lack of outside capital forced the company to be practical and disciplined. But it also left little room for error. When the global financial crisis struck in 2008, sales tanked by 40% almost overnight, Mente says. The company lost money that year. It had planned and purchased supply for the next six months of assumptions, but those quickly changed. Revolve had no cash cushion. "We were really backs against the wall and at the point of insolvency," Mente says.
It became clear that if Revolve wanted to to invest in future growth and survive any more downturns, its co-founders needed a safety net. They met with 20 venture capitalists in Silicon Valley—"the same guys that were interested in Nasty Gal," Mente says—but even a decade after the dot-com bubble, the risk profile of venture capital didn't feel right.
"We're trying to build a business for the long term that we wanted to own forever," Mente says. "They didn't understand that this is not a 'go big or go home' tech business." Besides, venture investors have a portfolio of companies, and they only need one or two to be a huge hit. "For us, if we messed this up, we would literally have nothing," Mente says.
Revolve eventually discovered private equity, which doesn't have venture capital's mandate for triple-digit growth. TSG Consumer Partners invested $50 million in the company in 2012. It was the firm's first pure-play e-commerce deal. (Jennifer Baxter Moser, a TSG partner, was a Revolve customer herself.) It's rare to find a company of Revolve's size with no prior institutional investors, but Revolve is unusual in a lot of ways. "They're approaching it their own way because they don't have a lot of traditional business influences," Moser says. Since the TSG investment, Revolve's sales growth has accelerated from around 25% a year to more than 50% a year.
Not all of the designers in Revolve's supply chain can handle that kind of trajectory. A few years ago, one of the company's top designers suddenly went out of business, leaving Revolve scrambling to meet customer demand. So in March, Revolve acquired its top vendor, Alliance Apparel Group, which owns the brands Lovers & Friends, Tularosa, and NBD. The plan is to support the brands on the business side with sales data and inventory advice, "versus just showing up at the showroom and buying what we like," Mente says. If fringed skirts are selling like crazy and there are only five options from all of Revolve's suppliers, the company can ask Lovers & Friends to develop more in a range of price points and colors, for example. The brands do wholesale business with other retailers as well.
Revolve is also expanding to work with high end designer brands like Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Alexander Wang through Forward, its luxury vertical. With average sale prices that are three times that of the Revolve brand, Forward has grown to represent 20% of the company's revenue.
Beyond that, Revolve's men's business, which makes up 5% of sales, is growing by 50% each year. International sales, which comprise 20% of the business, are thriving, especially in China.
Update: This story has been corrected to note that TSG first invested in Revolve in 2012, not 2014.

Q: ValueError with python and django I have what I am sure is a very simple error in my django/python code. Essentially I'm trying (for now) to simply make a html-form that has a few drop-down lists and a file-upload capability. I have the following snippets of code:
views.py:
def convert(request):
if request.POST:
    form = ConvertForm(request.POST,request.FILES)

    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()

        # Change this to some result page,
        # but for now, just see that we got the file
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/convert/convert')
else:
    form = ConvertForm()

args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form']=form

return render_to_response('convert.html',args)

in convert.html:
{% block content %}
 <form action="/convert/convert/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
 <ul>
  {{ form.as_ul }}
 </ul>
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Convert">
 </form>
{% endblock %}

and in my forms.py:
from django import forms

class ConvertForm(forms.Form):
    ff_from = forms.ChoiceField(choices=('a'))
    ff_to = forms.ChoiceField(choices=('b'))
    file = forms.FileField(max_length=200)

The error I'm getting is the following:
ValueError at /convert/convert/
need more than 1 value to unpack
Request Method: GET
Django Version: 1.5.2
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value:
need more than 1 value to unpack
Error during template rendering
In template /path/to/templates/convert.html, error at line 16
but I fail to understand why. I'm a newbie with django, but sort of used to python.
Line 16 in convert.html is the line that has the
{{ form.as_ul }}

piece of code.
Right now I'm only trying to get the form to show on my website, much less than making it do something!
Let me know if this description is complete, not used to posting questions here!
Thanks!

A: Your argument to choices is incorrect in the ChoiceField's.
As per the documentation:

choices
An iterable (e.g., a list or tuple) of 2-tuples to use as
  choices for this field. This argument accepts the same formats as the
  choices argument to a model field. See the model field reference
  documentation on choices for more details.

In your case, you have a single element. You would at least need:
choices=[('a_code', 'A Pretty Display Value')]

Mind:

*

*The list

*The two elements in the tuple

Of course, a ChoiceField with a single choice isn't really a choice. You might want to consider:
[
    ('a_code', u'A Pretty Display Value'),
    ('another_code', 'Another pretty display value')
]

4900 E Indian School Rd.
O.H.S.O Eatery and nanoBrewery opened in November of 2011 and joined the prestigious culinary community of the Arcadia Area. What sets it apart for the established favorite kitchens in this culinary mecca? 36 craft brews on tap (at least half from Arizona). South American inspired, American Cuisine. A dog friendly patio with special features just for your pooch. Beer Bruch on Sundays. And coming up, pending their federal license, this future nanoBrew will begin to craft their own beers and allow "brew-it-yourselfers" to use the facilities to make their own keg.
Let's start with what's on tap. You can find beer on tap from Grand Canyon Brewing Company (Williams, AZ), Four Peaks Brewery (Tempe, AZ), San Tan Brewery (Chandler, AZ), Sleepy Dog Brewery (Tempe, AZ), Sonoran Brewing Company (Scottsdale, AZ), Mother Road Brewing Company (Flagstaff, AZ), Oak Creek Brewing Company (Sedona, AZ), Papago Brewing (Scottsdale, AZ), Sun Up Brewery (Phoenix, AZ), Thunder Canon Brewing (Tucson, AZ), Mudshark Brewing (Lake Havasu, AZ), and Lumberyard Brewing (Flagstaff, AZ). It's like an entire tour of favorite beers from each of the Arizona Breweries without spending the gas or the travel time!
When it comes to food, O.H.S.O. Eatery doesn't disappoint. In fact, as the waitstaff will tell you, you can't really go wrong with the items on their menu. A TTD (that's us - Things to Do) favorite is their Green Chili Dip that's served warm with pita bread and yucca chips ($9). Enjoy a Grilled Flatbread Pizza ($11-$13), variety of gourmet samdwhiches ($9-$12, Green Chili Pulled Pork pictured right), Arepas ($10-$12), Delightful Salads ($11-$!2), and our favorite, the Beer Brunch. Beer Brunch is served from 9am-2pm on the weekend. You can choose from 10 brunch items each priced at $10, and each brunch meal includes a mimosa or 10oz AZ craft beer. We loved the breakfast burrito with the spicy green chili carnita and pica de gallo ($10), but the breakfast grilled cheese with mortadella and apples are next on our list!
O.H.S.O. Eatery is connected to the German Sausage Company, and has limited parking in front, but a larger parking area in back with a patio entrance from the parking lot (pictured above). This is a puppy friendly area, complete with water bowls and dog treats. The patio has misters, an outdoor bar, and strings of lights, making it a great venue for day and night. Being a native of AZ, the patio was not unbearable even when we went for brunch during late June (admittedly, most patrons were inside). In the Arcadia area, this is definitely, somewhere you want to stop, and once you do, it'll be somewhere you want to stay! Cheers!
If you want wine more than the varities of beer offered at O.H.S.O. Eatery, check out Postino, another one of our Arcadia favorites!

Q: Query with Grouping I have a table that consists of 12 columns as follows:
acct, addr1, addr2, addr3, addr4, addr5,
addr6, addr7, add8, zip, domicile, shares

What I need is to roll up the total shares into one row for duplicate rows. The criteria is that addr1 through addr4 are identical which determines that the row is a duplicate.
I tried this but it didnt work.
SELECT acct, addr1, addr2, addr3, addr4, addr5,
addr6, addr7, add8,
       zip, DOMICILE, sum(shares) as total_shares
FROM table_name
GROUP BY addr1, addr2, addr3, addr4 ORDER BY addr1;

A: You're selecting columns that aren't in your GROUP BY clause. You'll have to do some modification to them to get them into the result set, usually with either MIN or MAX, such as:
SELECT MIN(acct) as acct, na1, na2, na3, na4, MIN(na5) as na5, MIN(na6) as na6, MIN(na7) as na7, MIN(na8) as na8, MIN(zip) as zip, MIN(DOMICILE) as DOMICILE, sum(shares) as total_shares
FROM table_name
GROUP BY na1, na2, na3, na4
ORDER BY na1

A: Try doing some table gropuping logic like INTERSECT or EXCEPT
You could combine the diferent columns as you wish...
In this example I will catch all the cases where (addr1 = addr2 = addr3 = addr4)
SELECT acct, addr1 FROM table_name
INTERSECT
SELECT acct, addr2 FROM table_name
INTERSECT
SELECT acct, addr3 FROM table_name
INTERSECT
SELECT acct, addr4 FROM table_name

A: select sum(total_shares)
from
(
  SELECT na1, na2, na3, na4, sum(shares) as total_shares
    FROM table_name
   GROUP BY na1, na2, na3, na4
  having count(*) > 1
) ttl

Dominican Government faces high unemployment due to crisis
400 million jobs have been lost in the world.
Santo Domingo, DR
The new government that started this Monday faces high unemployment. Last Friday's registration in the Ministry of Labor was 830,513 employees "affected without extension", due to the effect of the pandemic in the country's economic activities.
Only in January March of this year 2020, out of an occupied population of 4.6 million, there was a drop of 42,764 compared to the first quarter of 2019, a limitation that began from the second of March when Covid-19 began to wreak havoc in the Republic Dominican.
Employment was growing. Each year an average of 136,149 employed grew in the last four years. However, as a result of the drop in global demand that had already been coming since mid-2019, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected unemployment of 9.1% this 2020.
The IDB indicates higher unemployment and ECLAC speaks of almost 12%. Open unemployment in the Dominican Republic stood at 6.1% before Covid-19.
According to the Ministry of Labor (MT), of 134,116 requests from a total of 52 companies for the suspension of their employees, as part of the PHASE, a report that details that a total of 1 million 385 thousand 996 workers were affected at that stage.
While 830, 513 were "affected without extensions." A total of 439,123 suspended suspensions.
A total of 447,651 workers were registered by the companies in the FASEI stage. Of these, 353, 925 were approved and 73,450 were rejected, while 2,491 workers were excluded by their employers. Of PHASE I, 5,069 remain pending and 1,031 are in the data editing process.
In PHASE 2, which consists of an extension of the program, the MT has 756,914 workers under registration. Of that amount, 491.20 were approved, 55,481 rejected, and 125,864 excluded by the employer. 74,995 remain pending and 2,941 data editing.

Wake up Call: St. Germain, June 30, 2015
Opstegne Mester Saint Germain, Le Comte de Saint Germain, den Europæiske vidundermand, og mange andre navne som tilhører den fascinerende mystiske mands kronik så som, "Manden der ved alt og aldrig dør". Han er kendt for sit engagement med at forme det 18. århundredes Europa. Han var et yndet gæst i Versailles, fortrolige med Kong Ludvig og Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, Katarina den Store af Rusland, og mange andre statsoverhoveder i dette tidsrum. Han var kendt for at have levet i 300 år aldrig aldrende, delvist på grund af den mystiske Elixir og andre alkymistiske stoffer, han skabte.
Saint Germain har været fabrikanten af hele vores generation af kommende velgørenhedspakker, RV, GCR, PPP m.m. Hvis man forfølger de meddelelser fra vores opstegne mestre som sprøjter ud i øjeblikket, kan man sammenfatte sande beretninger og den fundamental forståelse for vores race. Kan naturligvis blot tale om min egen oplevelse og bevidsthedsniveau.

It is time to let you all know of an important step that has been made in our progress toward freedom not only in the United States, but all around the world. It is a step that will release not only the funds that you have been waiting for, but all of the treasures of life that brings to you what you desire for a life of freedom and well-being.
It is I, St. Germain speaking through this one again, and it is a continuance of what was begun several years ago. Then there was an abundance of reasons why there was the program called NESARA created and presented to the world. It began in the interest of the American people, and before it arose so many other features of what would become the move to regain not only the freedom of the people, but would also empower them. It would also remind them of how they can create the world that they intend, through the Love that they emit and live in the walk forward in the power they have forgotten that they have.
RT: "It's official: New York bans fracking" - June 30, 2015
Læs også: Skifergas: Enhedslisten vil stoppe prøveboring uanset prisen
This is the beautiful (to me) result of what we all did in late 2013, during the "Turtle Island Journey" mission at the Finger Lakes. Many, many awakened BEings have been a part of this.
Congratulations, New York State, and those who supported this.
It's official: New York bans fracking
New York State officially banned fracking for natural gas by issuing its final environmental impact statement, concluding a seven-year review. The environmental agency said fracking posed risks to land, water, natural resources and public health.
The release of the environmental impact statement on Monday concluded seven years of analysis by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). It first issued a moratorium against fracking in 2008.
The agency received a staggering 260,000 comments over various drafts of its environment impact statement. In 2009, more than 13,000 public comments were made on its draft. A revised draft issued in 2011, which involved four public hearings around the state, received another 67,000 comments, and the second draft, with regulations over permit conditions, received an additional 180,000 comments.
"After years of exhaustive research and examination of the science and facts, prohibiting high-volume hydraulic fracturing is the only reasonable alternative," said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens in a statement.
"High-volume hydraulic fracturing poses significant adverse impacts to land, air, water, natural resources and potential significant public health impacts that cannot be adequately mitigated. This decision is consistent with DEC's mission to conserve, improve and protect our state's natural resources, and to enhance the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state."
New York has now joined Vermont, which has prohibited fracking since 2012. In the spring, Maryland approved a moratorium until 2017.

Sananda udsender ugentlige budskaber for tiden, for os som har fulgt Jesus Sananda i længere tid, har det altid været en fryd og opløftende oplevelse for vores forståelse, hvad der sker omkring os. Den Opstegne Mester Sananda / Jesus / Kristus / Jeshua tjener som en lærer af hele verden, og var en af de største Spirituelle healere, der gik på vores elskede planet Jorden/Nova/Gaia. Det er vigtigt at forstå, alle vores opstegne mestre og de galaktiske venner, så at sige, ikke har tilladelse til at bruge Deres beføjelser for at ændre forløbet af civilisationer, kun i yderst sjældne tilfælde.

Jesus Audio Blog for Tuesday June 30th
Today is a new day. Of course every day is a new day, but people often forget that as they plod through their daily chores earning their living. But enormous changes can occur in one day, or in an instant. You are free to make choices in every moment, and you do, but they are very often the same choices that you have been making for years, in almost complete unawareness. Become aware of your choices, each and every one of them, and then decide if you would like to maintain them or change them – from which shoe you put on first in the morning to whether you really want another cup of coffee or tea, to whether you want to change jobs, careers, or relationships. So many of your choices have become automatic, and yet your choices determine how adequately or inadequately your lives flow.
Make each day new by being aware of each choice you make, from the smallest to the largest. That does not mean just being aware that you have made a choice but discerning if it is really the best choice you can possibly make in this moment. Drifting through life is what occurs when you do not see all the choices that lie open before you in every moment. But you can become aware of the great variety of choices open to you by practicing discernment in your little choices – which shoe shall I put on first, and why – because it leads you into full awareness of what you are doing in each moment and that enables you to question the wisdom of that particular choice.
If you are not accustomed to being so aware of your daily routines in such detail, starting to become aware can seem like a very difficult task, but, with practice, as with all things, it becomes easier and then natural. It is a case of being present in every moment so as you raise a cup of tea to your lips you are aware of choosing to lift it so that you may take a refreshing sip, and then enjoy the sip, and then, with awareness, putting the cup down again. That kind of awareness of each moment has incredible healing power.

Interview Transcript
Rob – Hello ladies and gentlemen.......
....... Cobra and Rob Interview Begins Here........
COBRA – Thank you again for your invitation.
Rob – Cobra, I'm so sorry for the delay last week. We started off talking again about Corey Goode and the ET thing and the little differences and people attacking each other. We're going to recommend Cobra followers, Tolec followers, anyone who disagrees with Corey or anyone who disagrees with Cobra; he's already been through the mill of being attacked. He knows what Corey is going through. It's important that we keep the light workers together and focused and just in a kind of a patient neutral mode to absorb this information. Would you agree?
COBRA – Yes, absolutely. Attacking any of the light warriors or light workers doesn't make any sense. It is, especially now, it is time to unify forces and support each other because we have the same goal and that is the planetary liberation.
Supreme court forces German parliament to release report on UFOs

Posted by: Andreas Muller June 29, 2015
Leipzig (Germany) – After years of law suits, the Federal Administrative Supreme court of Germany forces the administration of the German Parliament – the Bundestag – to release and give public access to a report on "UFOs, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and Germany's implementation UN-Resolution A/33/426″ (that asked its member states to conduct official research into UFOs) compiled by the parliamentary "Scientifical Service." So far the Bundestag not only denied public access to this document but also fought an intense and so far successful legal dispute against its publication. The new court sentence is a big step not only for German UFO-research and disclosure but also for the freedom of information in general.
The function "Scientifical Services" is "to supply the members of parliaments with factual information, analysis and expertise comments of in their political work in the parliament and their constituencies." Therefore one should assume that those compiled expertise would be open for public access as well. But that was not so until the recent verdict. It was up to the administration of the Bundestag to release them – or to restrict access to it.
In 2010 the German Exopolitic initiative (Exopolitic.org) lead by Robert Fleischer, learnt of an report by the service on "UFOs, the search for extraterrestrial intelligences and Germanys implementation UN-Resolution A/33/426,″ that suggested to its member states to conduct official research into UFOs. While several journalists got hold of copies the paper, it was not legal to publish it in its full content. Frank Reitemeyer then asked to view the report but his access was denied by the administration of the Bundestag – so he went to court. When he was granted that permission in the first juristically instance, the Bundestag administration successfully appealed on points of law. Since then the lawsuit went through all instances and the Bundestag administration even asked a renowned a big law firm to compile a legal opinion (which under normal conditions costs about 50.000 Euro, as some legal experts estimate).
16 Facts About The Tremendous Financial Devastation That We Are Seeing All Over The World - June 30, 2015
As we enter the second half of 2015, financial panic has gripped most of the globe. Stock prices are crashing in China, in Europe and in the United States. Greece is on the verge of a historic default, and now Puerto Rico and Ukraine are both threatening to default on their debts if they do not receive concessions from their creditors. Not since the financial crisis of 2008 has so much financial chaos been unleashed all at once. Could it be possible that the great financial crisis of 2015 has begun? The following are 16 facts about the tremendous financial devastation that is happening all over the world right now…
1. On Monday, the Dow fell by 350 points. That was the biggest one day decline that we have seen in two years.
2. In Europe, stocks got absolutely smashed. Germany's DAX index dropped 3.6 percent, and France's CAC 40 was down 3.7 percent.
3. After Greece, Italy is considered to be the most financially troubled nation in the eurozone, and on Monday Italian stocks were down more than 5 percent.
4. Greek stocks were down an astounding 18 percent on Monday.
5. As the week began, we witnessed the largest one day increase in European bond spreads that we have seen in seven years.
6. Chinese stocks have already met the official definition of being in a "bear market" – the Shanghai Composite is already down more than 20 percent from the high earlier this year.
7. Overall, this Chinese stock market crash is the worst that we have witnessed in 19 years.
8. On Monday, Standard & Poor's slashed Greece's credit rating once again and publicly stated that it believes that Greece now has a 50 percent chance of leaving the euro.
9. On Tuesday, Greece is scheduled to make a 1.6 billion euro loan repayment. One Greek official has already stated that this is not going to happen.
10. Greek banks have been totally shut down, and a daily cash withdrawal limit of 60 euros has been established. Nobody knows when this limit will be lifted.
11. Yields on 10 year Greek government bonds have shot past 15 percent.
12. U.S. investors are far more exposed to Greece than most people realize. The New York Times explains…
But the question of what happens when the markets do open is particularly acute for the hedge fund investors — including luminaries like David Einhorn and John Paulson — who have collectively poured more than 10 billion euros, or $11 billion, into Greek government bonds, bank stocks and a slew of other investments.
Through the weekend, Nicholas L. Papapolitis, a corporate lawyer here, was working round the clock comforting and cajoling his frantic hedge fund clients.
"People are freaking out," said Mr. Papapolitis, 32, his eyes red and his voice hoarse. "They have made some really big bets on Greece."
13. The Governor of Puerto Rico has announced that the debts that the small island has accumulated are "not payable".
14. Overall, the government of Puerto Rico owes approximately 72 billion dollars to the rest of the world. Without debt restructuring, it is inevitable that Puerto Rico will default. In fact, CNN says that it could happen by the end of this summer.
15. Ukraine has just announced that it may "suspend debt payments" if their creditors do not agree to take a 40 percent "haircut".
16. This week the Bank for International Settlements(BIS) has just come out with a new report that says that central banks around the world are "defenseless" to stop the next major global financial crisis. Without a doubt, we are overdue for another major financial crisis. All over the planet, stocks are massively overvalued, and financial markets have become completely disconnected from economic reality. And when the next crash happens, many believe that it will be even worse than what we experienced back in 2008. For example, just consider the words of Jim Rogers…

Blog / Why isn't DHS exercising Prosecutorial Discretion in a Meaningful Way?
Why isn't DHS exercising Prosecutorial Discretion in a Meaningful Way?
In April 24, 2014, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) from the University of Sycaruse reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) only grants Prosecutorial Discretion (PD) on extremely rare occasions. Yet, since 2011, DHS has repeatedly asserted that ICE focuses on high priority cases and will consider PD for undocumented immigrants who are not a risk for the community.
According to TRAC, Prosecutorial Discretion was only granted in 6.7 % of the cases before the Immigration Courts between October 2012 and March 2014. In San Francisco, only 11.4 % of the non-detained cases were closed on this basis. Earlier this month, the American Immigration Lawyer Association (AILA) had already denounced the fact that ICE does not screen apprehended immigrants for the possibility of PD. On April 3, 2014, AILA published a long list of recommendations for a more systematic and consistent application of the PD policy. AILA also stated that 40% of the people removed every year have no criminal background whatsoever and do not pose any risk to public safety.


When I first saw Kate Moss' Dior Addict Lipstick commercial, I told everyone I met that day, "Did you see Kate Moss for Dior Addict Lipstick commercial? That's some serious eyeliner." Desired and jealous at the same time, I never dreamed of having her eyes in my life. Because the style belongs to professionals and runway models. Not long ago I got news about Dior's eyeliner patches, whether they are for one shot or reusable, I know I must have them. Fortunately they're multi-wear. Today let me show you the Dior Velvet Eyes Multi-Wear Adhesive Eyeliner-Patches.
a instruction sheets in different languages and a Velvet Eyes Glue.
This is the close up of the glue. I didn't get to test out the glue this time, because the liners were sticky enough. But eventually this should come in handy.
On the top portion of the folder, it has a beautiful picture with Dior's runway eye look.
And a description of how these liners were born.
I almost didn't notice her brow was in a weird shape. Maybe they did it on purpose because the liner really draws attention.
On the middle portion, there are these 4 haute pairs of liners sticking on a sheet of wax paper.
This is exactly what I'm going to do. Sorry about my bare brow and no makeup eye. I did have a fake lash on.
My first attempt was this, same shape as the model's. Bad move! It took me a good 5 minutes to figure out which one goes on which side and which direction to stick it on. I think this pair is the most complex one out of the 4. See I wasn't doing too good, there's a gap between the liner and the lash. I also thought the curve didn't quite fit my eye shape.
But I did get my brow done right, thanks to this nifty tool, Dior Brow Shaping Stencil. See the review here.
How does it look now after filling in the gap with a black liquid liner?
Second pair I tried was a bit more glammed up version with 3 clear Swarovski crystals on the outer edge. This time it took me no time to apply it and the result is a lot better. The small gap could be easily fixed. Remember I said that the curve of the first pair didn't fit my eye? It's actually adjustable. This time I just turned the edge a bit and it fits almost perfect. I just needs more practice.
I also changed my brow to a narrower and more angled shape, but still close to my natural brow shape.
The third pair I went all out with this jewel studded gem. I think I nailed it.
Last but not least the classic Kate Moss style thick winged liner. Once again, no mistake!
I was totally thrilled by these fresh off the runway liner patches. These are definitely too haute for everyday use, but for special moments like proms, parties and clubs, nothing will get you more attention than these. Just remember to try them on beforehand so you get a hang of it. It really isn't hard at all. My suggestion is start from the outer corner, then line the bottom edge with your lash line, finally press on the tip. If you did get a small gap like I did, you can always fill it in with a liner.
So you may wonder if they feel comfortable or how long it lasts? My answer is you will feel them but still bearable for you to wear them for several hours. That should be long enough for clubbing or prom.
After all, it's a dream come true for me to have these stunning eyeliners like Kate Moss. Get yours at Sephora before it's sold out.
These are so innovative and they look great. I'm in need of these.
They are like the first I've seen. I am kinda impressed at the design.
It looks fabulous on you, but I don't think I'm coordinated enough! I can barely manage fake lashes on occasion!
Come on Jamilla… I am sure you can put it on and it would look FAB on your FOTDs… hehe It's like an enhancement!
You buy it all, huh? All the super limited, super expensive high-end stuff XD Man that's why I love your blog. Loving the first design even though I wasn't fond of the whole idea when I spotted the first leaked pics last month!
Thanks for visiting! I just saw your eye look on "Flying to the Moon" it looks intense! The rhinestones are nice !!
I love the 3rd pair on you, so dramatic. I wonder how many times you can use these.
The eye patches can be used a lot of times. I really don't know how many times you can use them. I used it twice already and it's still working!
These eye patches look so fancy. The crystal ones look extremely nice. But I wonder how long each can last for usage.
You can use it for a while. I haven't figured out how many times before it is deemed unusable.
That last one totally reminds me of Amy Winehouse.
Amazing liners. How do you feel when you have these on? Does it hurt when you open your eyes?
Nope no harm to the eyes. It is pretty smooth.
I am living vicariously through you. When I first saw these patches I wanted them so badly. I have trouble applying regular liner to my eyes so Im not sure I would do well with these but they are so cool!
The patches are easy to apply on. They are cool too because of the bold look you get after it's on!
I am so intrigued by these. How do they look with your eyes open? very bold??
Very Bold. They are noticeable. Lulu go to the nearest Sephora they have them in the store.
I love these liners on you and your brows look so professional using the stencils. I'm going to check these out tomorrow. Thanks for the review.
OMG! It's awesome! I need it, product of the year! Thank you! Looks great on you!
BC! It's available at Sephora and Sephora.com grab them!
I was going to pass these on because they're quite pricy but after seeing your photos I know I want these for my prom. Hopefully it works out.
Great review and super cool liners. I wonder if Dior will release more designs.
hopefully Dior releases more! I wouldn't mind playing new models and designs.
These eye patches are so cool. I wish there were more styles available.
Hopefully they come out with more because they are unique! I do want to see other colors instead of black.

Ministry of Justice written question – answered on 3rd November 2014.
All Written Answers on 3 Nov 2014
Nadine Dorries Conservative, Mid Bedfordshire
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted under the provisions of section 4a of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997; and how many such people received a custodial sentence.
Hansard source (Citation: HC Deb, 3 November 2014, cW)
Shailesh Vara The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
The stalking offences under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, sections 2A (stalking) and 4A (stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress), have been available from 25 November 2012. The section 2A offence has a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment and/or a fine, and the section 4A offence has a maximum penalty of 5 years' imprisonment.
The number of people convicted under sections 2A and 4A in 2012 and 2013 and those receiving custodial sentence can be viewed at the table below.
Defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts and found guilty and sentenced to immediate custody at all courts of offences under Sections 2A and 4A of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, England and Wales, 2012 to 20131,2,3
Section of Act
Section 2A4
Found guilty
Immediate custody
1 The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. 3 The number of offenders sentenced can differ from those found guilty as it may be the case that a defendant found guilty in a particular year, and committed for sentence at the Crown Court, may be sentenced in the following year. 4 Pursue course of conduct in breach of S.1(1) of the Act which amounts to stalking. 5 Stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm and distress.

Foot fungus can be extremely embarrassing and also very aggravating. The last thing you want to do is share it with the general public. Fortunately you do not have to. There are several easy remedies to treat this stinky problem! Most of these remedies require little to no effort and practically no money.
The best way to treat foot fungus and prevent it from returning is by increasing the intake of Zinc. This can be done by simply taking a zinc supplement or eating certain foods fortified with zinc such as: peanuts, oysters, and pumpkin seeds.
Something most people wouldn't think about as a treatment or prevention tool is nail clippers and a file. Keeping your nails trimmed and clean on a weekly basis will prevent bacteria from lingering and growing. This also speeds up the healing process by shedding the infected nail and bacteria.
Also a frequently forgotten tool is soap and water. Creating germ-free habits like washing your feet every morning or night with antibacterial soap will speed up the healing process and prevent your chances of getting foot fungus again.
Alcohol is used as an antiseptic for just about anything. Just soak a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol and rub it along the surface of your nail and around the cuticle. Repeat three times a day. Research has shown results as soon as two days.
This is only a handful of suggestions on how to treat foot fungus without leaving your home. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when dealing with any kind of bacteria. If you keep the area clean this alone will dramatically reduce the chance of bacterial growth on any surface of the body. It is also important to use any kind of anti-septic, whether it's in the form of alcohol, soap, or even vinegar has been used. When looking for home remedies it is important to use your logic, if it doesn't make sense, do not try it. In saying this, do not be scared, when dealing with home remedies they usually involve safe ingredients.

Q: AutoHotKey:how to get the errorlevel of find command? I have a job that I want to assign it to AHK to run for me in 5 minute intervals.
It needs to check the contents of a txt file, lets say c:\test.txt.
This file can contain any number of lines in the format of:
prog 1
prog 2
prog 3
  ...
prog N

among lines containing other pieces of text.
My purpose is to tell AHK the number right after the word prog, on the last line, which is the largest number in the list as these lines come in numeric sequence in this file.
My grandiose idea is to check the existence of lines from "prog 1" to "prog N", where N is a number under 20, using a series of find commands on a cmd window, get the errorlevel back and when errorlevel hits 1, I will set my desired variable to the value of the value of the loop index minus 1, as it was the last successfully ran find command, as such
i=1
loop 20
{
  type c:\users\me\test.txt | find "prog "%i%
  if  %errorlevel% != 0
  {
     num := i-1
     ; exit the loop in some way here
  }
  else
  {
     i := i+1
  }
 } ; end loop

At this point, all I am interested in is the value stored in variable %num%. I know it may not be the most elegant solution to accomplish this but for a few runs everyday on an otherwise idle laptop, I can take the performance penalties.
So far, I am stuck at the very basic component of this idea: find command and passing the errorlevel it generates back to AHK
here is my code: (this code is only for the testing of find command, which I got from AHK forums)
Run %COMSPEC% /K type c:\users\me\test.txt | find "prog 4", , max
msgbox %ErrorLevel%
return

when this piece of code runs, the messagebox always displays the value "0" regardless "prog 4" line is there or not.
when I replace command Run with RunWait, then errorlevel gets displayed as one expects, but in that case, my automation process runs into a glitch: Expecting manual effort to close the cmd prompt, which I am assuming the *feature" of the Wait portion of the command RunWait.
How can I get over this hurdle ? I am open to loading the whole functionality to a dos batch file and getting a numeric output from the batch file at the end, but I came to realize, programming with AHK is much easier to do and to understand than that of DOS batch programming. So, my preference is on the AHK scripting side.
Thank you

A: If you are wanting to do all of this within AutoHotkey, this is how I would do it
FileRead, Content, C:\test.txt
Loop, parse, Content, `n
{
    RegExMatch(A_Loopfield, "(?i)(?<=prog\s)[\d]+", match)
    If (match > lastMatch)
        lastMatch := match
}

msgbox % lastMatch

Edited to always get highest value

A: Just let the system get the value for you.
RunWait,%comspec% /v:on /c "( for /f "tokens=2" `%f in ('findstr /b /r /c:"prog [0-9]+" c:\users\me\test.txt ') do set max=`%f ) & exit /b !max!",,UseErrorLevel
MsgBox %ErrorLevel%

A: I would just use RegEx to extract the last item:
FileRead, cont, test.txt
RegExMatch(cont, "s).*prog (\d+)", num)
msgbox, Hightest number: %num1%

AutoHotkey should be sufficient most of the time when it comes to arithmetics/string operations. Calling other applications for simple things like this is kind of an overkill and will most likely slow you down.
Explanation for the RegEx:

*

*s) determines that the period (.) will match each character including any newline (\r and/or \n). By default, it would stop at the first line break. See RegEx options.

*.* is a standard pattern that will match anything. It is the key to find the last item in our string, because it will consume as much as possible as long as the pattern is still satisfied. In other words, it will discard everything up until the last prog n, which is exactly what we want. See Greed in the RegEx reference.

*(\d+) does 2 things: 1) It will find any integer number sequence 2) It will create a subpattern and store the number where we can explicitely access it later.

The output var (here: num) will be a pseudo array containing any matched subpattern plus the entire pattern that was matched. Printing %num% will show you almost the whole file, up to the last prog n. %num1% will contain the first subpattern, which is the biggest n.

Nobel Peace Prize 2021: Norwegian parliamentarian nominates President Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
A Norwegian parliamentarian has assigned US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize refering to what he guaranteed was Trump's function in encouraging contacts among India and Pakistan to determine the Kashmir question.
Despite the fact that the essential focal point of his designation was the Israel-United Arab Emirates (UAE) bargain, Christian Tybring-Gjedde stated in his letter to the Nobel Committee that Trump played a "key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and a creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan," Fox News provided details regarding Tuesday.
The case has no premise in actuality since India has turned down Trump's rehashed proposals to intervene or "arbitrate" the Kashmir debate and there have been no significant level two-sided contacts between the two nations since 2015.
Dismissing Trump's offers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told columnists before him in August a year ago, "All the issues between India and Pakistan are of bilateral in nature, and we don't want to trouble any third country. We can discuss and resolve these issues bilaterally".
India keeps up that under the Simla Agreement marked in 1971 by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who held the workplace of leader of Pakistan around then, the two countries consented to determine all questions reciprocally and, consequently, there ought to be no outsider contribution.
Trump had even made a peculiar case that Modi had requested that he intercede among India and Pakistan. New Delhi has denied making any such solicitation.
Trump's Spokesperson Kayleigh McEnnany made no notice of Kashmir when she told columnists in Washington on Wednesday that Trump was designated for "bringing about the full normalisation of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and marking a major step toward a more peaceful Middle East."
"This peace deal is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of President Trump, and he is honoured to be considered by the Nobel Committee," she added.
The updates on the assignment of Trump for the prize during the last period of the US presidential political decision that is 53 days away.
The Israel-UAE arrangement to set up typical relations is presumably the main strong strategic triumph for Trump, yet generously not exactly an advancement among Israel and the Palestinians that he had been promoting.
Tybring-Gjedde, an individual from the conservative Progress Party, had ineffectively assigned Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 for what he declared were endeavors to bring North and South Korea's together.
He again refered to in the most recent selection Trump's endeavors in the Koreas.
The selection letter cited by Fox News gave Trump credit for a key part in "the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea."
Notwithstanding, Trump's prominent political endeavors with North Korea that included gatherings with that nation's chief Kim Jong-un have finished in disappointment.
Trump's ancestor Barack Obama was granted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, his first year in office, for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people" before there was any solid accomplishment.
Another Democratic Party president, Jimmy Carter, gotten the prize in 2002 after he had left office for his support of popular government and common freedoms and his endeavors for discovering answers for global clashes.
The Nobel Committee chose by Norway's parliament grants the prize that accompanies an award and $1.1 million.
