Figure 7: A poster featuring Mess Attendant First Class Leonard Roy Harmon, USN, and USS Harmon (DE-678), which was named in his honor. Leonard Harmon was born at Cuero, Texas, on 21 January 1917. He enlisted in the Navy in June 1939 and was assigned to USS San Francisco (CA-38) following training. During the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 13 November 1942, while serving on board that ship, Mess Attendant Harmon assisted in evacuating and caring for the wounded. He deliberately exposed himself to enemy gunfire while attempting to protect a shipmate and was killed in action. For his heroism in that action, Mess Attendant Harmon was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. The poster also features the text of his award citation and a representation of the Navy Cross medal. USS Harmon was the first US Navy ship to be named for an African-American naval hero. US Naval Historical Center Photograph. Click on photograph for larger image.

Named after Mess Attendant First Class Leonard Roy Harmon (1917-1942), USN, who was killed while heroically trying to save lives on board his ship USS San Francisco (CA-38) during the 13 November 1942 Naval Battle for Guadalcanal, the 1,400-ton USS Harmon was a Buckley class destroyer escort that was built by the Bethlehem Steel Company at Quincy, Massachusetts, and was commissioned on 31 August 1943. Harmon was the first US Navy ship to be named for an African-American naval hero. The ship was approximately 306 feet long and 37 feet wide, had a top speed of 24 knots, and had a crew of 186 officers and men. Harmon's original armament consisted of three 3-inch guns, two 40-mm guns, eight 20-mm guns, three 21-inch torpedo tubes, and depth charges, but some of these guns were replaced later on in the war.
After completing a shakedown cruise off Bermuda, Harmon underwent post-shakedown repairs and alterations at Boston, Massachusetts, before steaming south to Norfolk, Virginia. On 7 November 1943, the ship left Norfolk and headed further south to the Panama Canal. After transiting the canal on 13 November, Harmon went to San Francisco, California. The ship continued on to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and then arrived at Samoa on 25 December. For the next eight and a half months, Harmon was assigned to escort duty throughout the South Pacific with the Third and Seventh Fleets. On 18 September 1944, the destroyer escort returned to Pearl Harbor.
Harmon completed naval exercises off the coast of Hawaii before steaming to Manus in the Admiralty Islands on 24 November 1944. After arriving at Manus, Harmon joined a unit of the Seventh Fleet that was assigned to the invasion of the Philippines. Harmon escorted a massive convoy to the Philippines and participated in the January 1945 landings at Luzon.
On 5 March 1945, Harmon arrived off the coast of Iwo Jima and was assigned to escort and antisubmarine duties. She remained there until 27 March and then returned to Pearl Harbor to participate in additional training exercises. The ship stayed at Pearl Harbor until August, when Harmon was ordered to steam to the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, to have her 3-inch guns replaced with two 5-inch mounts. But while this work was being done, World War II ended. Upon completion of this overhaul, the ship was assigned to training duties.
Harmon left San Diego, California, on 7 January 1946 and headed for the Panama Canal, where she conducted training exercises with submarines. The ship left Panama on 28 March and arrived at New London, Connecticut, on 3 April. Once there, the destroyer escort was again used in training exercises with submarines. In December 1946, the ship left New London and sailed to Green Cove Springs, Florida, where she was decommissioned on 25 March 1947 and was placed in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. USS Harmon was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 August 1965 and sold for scrapping on 30 January 1967. The first US Navy ship to be named for an African-American naval hero received three battle stars for her service during World War II.

Turpin's Fisher makes noise in 2nd state appearance
After qualifying for the state tournament as a freshman, it's not a new experience for Fisher
Turpin's Fisher makes noise in 2nd state appearance After qualifying for the state tournament as a freshman, it's not a new experience for Fisher Check out this story on cincinnati.com: http://cin.ci/2eKSQeU

Turpin High School's Caitlin Fisher returns with a scoring forehand in the OHSAA Girls Tennis semifinals Oct. 22 at the ATP Tennis Center in Mason.

NEWTOWN - Turpin tennis player Caitlin Fisher is one of a handful of sophomores who competed in the Division I state singles tournament Oct. 21-22.
After qualifying for the tournament as a freshman, it's not a new experience for her. She also won't be caught up in the venue. The Southwest districts are contested at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, too.
"It's nice that districts is in the same place," the sophomore said. "We play there a lot so you get used to it in case you do make it to state."
Fisher, who was eliminated by Hudson's Molly Sandberg in the first round last year, is happy she made it to the state tournament again but would like to hang around for at least another match this year.
Sandberg was in the field this year and won the singles state title.
The Turpin sophomore did more than hang around for another match. She defeated Pickerington North's Cassie Alcala, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Fisher also beat Massillon Jackson's Emily Thomas, 6-2, 7-5.
That set her up in the final four - the farthest any local singles player advanced in this year's state tournament.
Fisher's shot at a state title ended in her match with Rocky River Magnificat's Anna Roggenburk. Turpin's top player also lost in the third-place match, 6-0, 6-1 to Zoey Weil of Columbus Centennial.
As the third seed, the sophomore's road in the state tournament was marginally better this year. Alcala was the two seed from the Central/East/Southeast district.
Last year, she had to face the top seed from the Northeast district.
"I learned a long time ago to not have expectations," Turpin coach Gail Maundrell said. "Whatever happens, happens. It's been a good season for her."
Fisher and the Spartans prepared for the postseason the right way by scheduling matches against some of the stronger players and teams in the city.
Coach and player agreed that, despite a couple tough losses early in the season, the 10th-grader rose to the occasion in those tilts.
"I played a lot of three-set matches or ones with tiebreakers," she said. "I learned that if I get into a tight match, I have the skills to fight through it and win."
For a player, having that knowledge in the back of their mind is important. It will bolster Fisher's already calm and collected nature.
Maundrell recalled an instance where, during a match, Fisher rolled her eyes in response to something that transpired.
"That was a big reaction for her," the coach said. "It's a big positive for her to be able to control her emotions like she does."
Her mindset and experience will continue to help her navigate those matches against top players from the city and state the next two years.
Princeton's Emily Thomas should be back for her senior season and Mount Notre Dame's Kelli Niehaus should be in the mix as a junior.
"Cincinnati has become a tennis mecca lately," Maundrell said. "That's for sure."

Faith is often belittled in our modern society. Yet without faith the greatest truths of human life - like love, goodness and beauty - have no foundation. Contrary to popular and academic opinion, this book demonstrates that faith is necessary not only for these and other virtues but for the very foundation of human reason and science.


I'm Mars' sole survivor... there's a reason for that.
The last Green Martian. J'onn J'onzz had never been a violent man, but found himself drawn into what came known as "The Martian Holocaust", a war between the Green Martians and the White Martians. The war resulted in the death of his wife and daughter, along with both Martian races being entirely wiped out. J'onn J'onzz seemed to be the sole survivor of Mars.
Some time later, J'onn encountered and befriended Jor-El. Through Jor-El, J'onn found purpose again. Working for Jor-El, J'onn brought criminals (both Kryptonian and criminals from other worlds) to justice, who were then banished to the Phantom Zone. When Krypton was facing destruction, Jor-El asked J'onn to watch over his son, whom he planned to send to Earth. However, Jor-El had arranged for the boy to be put before tests. Tests that Jor-El wanted him to pass on his own. So, J'onn was forbidden to interfere, unless it proved absolutely necessary. Because of this, J'onn kept an eye on Clark from a distance, rather than interacting with him directly.
After Clark accidently released several prisoners from the Phantom Zone, J'onn quickly found that he had no choice and had to interfere. The first time occured in Seattle, when Clark attempted to bring down Aldar, only to be nearly be killed by him. Just before Aldar was going to kill Clark, J'onn rushed in and killed Aldar. Before Clark could ask him any questions, J'onn flew away. The second time, that J'onn had to step in, was when another escapee from the Phantom Zone infected Clark's mind and trapped him in a nightmarish reality, in an attempt to get control of Clark's body. J'onn entered Clark's mind and was able to convince him of the truth. When the phantom was expelled from Clark's body, J'onn used a crystal to return it to the Phantom Zone.
A few months later, J'onn tracked down the last escapee from the Phantom Zone in Canada but was critically wounded in the confrontation and was forced to flee. Due to his injured state, J'onn had no choice but to leave the last phantom to Clark, while he himself left Earth's atmosphere to heal. Upon his return, J'onn discovered that Clark had not only failed in stopping the phantom, but that it had cloned him. Despite this, J'onn stood by Clark and took care of the phantom, after Clark had defeated him in battle.
A few weeks later, J'onn returned to the Kent Farm, as he was concerned about the recent appearance of Kara Zor-El, as her father had tried to kill Jor-El. However, when he confronted Kara with the truth about her father, it prompted her to run off. Once more J'onn helped Clark take care of a problem, when he took Curtis Knox to Mars.
After Clark was mortally wounded, while in a powerless state, J'onn decided that he couldn't stand by and let Clark die. He took Clark's dying body and flew into the sun, which healed Clark and returned his abilities. However, while this incident had restored Clark's powers, it had robbed J'onn of his. Leaving him powerless and in his human guise. This situation led him to create a human identity for himself, John Jones, and became a homicide detective with the Metropolis Police Department. While he occasionally continued to help Clark, his time as a detective allowed him to see that there were others in the world, who needed his help more than Clark did. He also joined Green Arrow's team.
Right before his death, Dr. Fate restored the powers of J'onn. Despite this, J'onn kept his identity as detective John Jones and began investigating the government agency known as Checkmate, which was out to get superheroes like the Blur (Clark) and Green Arrow. An operation that forced him to become allies with the mysterious Red Queen. To protect the others, he wiped Amanda Waller's mind of any knowledge about the identities of the heroes involved in the Watchtower Network.
While attending the funeral of Carter Hall, J'onn and the other Watchtower members were captured by the Department of Domestic Security and trapped inside a virtual world but were later saved by Chloe Sullivan and the Suicide Squad.
Six months after the event known as "Contact", J'onn began suffering from flashbacks to the death of the Martian race. Which alerted him to the presence of another Martian. Specifically, a White Martian. With the aid of Bruce Wayne, J'onn was able to track down the White Martian in question. However, he soon discovered that the girl, M'gann, wasn't a threat and took her in, passing her off her his niece to his neighbors.
J'onn was among the heroes assembled to battle the Monitors in Metropolis. After the battle he joined six of the other heroes and became a founding member of the team known as the "Justice League".
Vulnerability to Earth's Atmosphere: The effects of Earth's atmosphere negates his ability to heal. For it to work, J'onn has to leave the atmosphere.
This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series Smallville and its tie-in and comic book series, Smallville and Smallville Season 11. It is an adaptation of J'onn J'onzz. The original character was created by Joseph Samachson and Joe Certa and first appeared in Detective Comics #225.
The Martian Manhunter was portrayed by Phil Morris. In "Checkmate" he was briefly portrayed by Pam Grier, posing as Amanda Waller. The character was also portrayed by unknown actors in "Static" and "Icarus"
While J'onn wasn't introduced until season 6, a vision in "Hourglass" features a brief glimpse of his skull.

Q: No output displays when execute python file Getting a blank screen on executing the python program.
Please help. It may be a duplicate question, but I don't know Python very much, because I am an Android developer.
Here is my code:
import sys
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer

home_url = 'https://parivahan.gov.in/rcdlstatus/'
post_url = 'https://parivahan.gov.in/rcdlstatus/vahan/rcDlHome.xhtml'
# Everything before the last four digits: GJ03KA
first = sys.argv[1]
# The last four digits: 0803
second = sys.argv[2]

r = requests.get(url=home_url)
cookies = r.cookies
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
viewstate = soup.select('input[name="javax.faces.ViewState"]')[0]['value']

data = {
    'javax.faces.partial.ajax':'true',
    'javax.faces.source': 'form_rcdl:j_idt32',
    'javax.faces.partial.execute':'@all',
    'javax.faces.partial.render': 'form_rcdl:pnl_show form_rcdl:pg_show form_rcdl:rcdl_pnl',
    'form_rcdl:j_idt32':'form_rcdl:j_idt32',
    'form_rcdl':'form_rcdl',
    'form_rcdl:tf_reg_no1': first,
    'form_rcdl:tf_reg_no2': second,
    'javax.faces.ViewState': viewstate,
}

r = requests.post(url=post_url, data=data, cookies=cookies)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
table = SoupStrainer('tr')
soup = BeautifulSoup(soup.get_text(), 'html.parser', parse_only=table)
print(soup.get_text())

A: If you print out the result from the requests post (r), you're getting a 500 error which is a generic http response for a server error. My guess is the url resource is bad or the data being posted to it isn't formatted correctly

A: Let me open a new answer in response to the renewed question.
After trying some methods with just requests and urllib, I think it is better to use the selenium webdriver controller.
The following code will grab the table rows as you want.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://parivahan.gov.in/rcdlstatus/'

# Optional: Getting "Headless" browser, ie suppressing the browser window from showing
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

# Let the driver open, fill and submit the form
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get(url)
driver.delete_all_cookies()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, 'form_rcdl:j_idt34')))
input1 = driver.find_element_by_name('form_rcdl:tf_reg_no1')
input1.send_keys('GJ03KA')
input2 = driver.find_element_by_name('form_rcdl:tf_reg_no2')
input2.send_keys('0803')
driver.find_element_by_name('form_rcdl:j_idt34').click()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

# Get the result table
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "form_rcdl:j_idt63"))
    )
    result_html = driver.page_source
    #print(result_html)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(result_html, 'lxml')
    print(soup.findAll('tr'))
except TimeoutException:
    driver.quit()
    print('Time out.')

Below demonstrates the result of printing out the table html tags in soup.

I hope the government does not find out and block this way before you try out lol
Hope this helps! You may refer to the following references if interested:

*

*Selenium manual: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/

*Driving headless Chrome with Python: https://duo.com/decipher/driving-headless-chrome-with-python

*Submitting form with selenium: Selenium/Python - Extract dynamically generated HTML after submitting form

A: The URL that actually returns a valid form webpage is 'https://parivahan.gov.in/rcdlstatus/'.
By inputting the example ID (Reg No.) in browser, error message "Registration No. does not exist!!! Please check the number." pops up. (which makes total sense. I do hope you didn't put a real ID in public lol)
Since I don't have a valid ID to test. Please see if this solves your problem.
Another thing noticed is that the fields for inputting the registration number should be "form_rcdl:tf_reg_no1" and "form_rcdl:tf_reg_no2". You can view the HTML source of the webpage (e.g. Ctrl+C in Chrome) to verify.

A: You have hardcoded jdt32 as button id... please note that button id in this website is dynamic.... your program should dynamically pickup the right button id.  here is the solution

We're sometimes asked, "Does Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) really do or achieve anything?" The answer is a resounding yes! Several years ago two gentlemen found themselves at an airport waiting for the same flight. To the dismay of both of them, the flight was delayed several hours.
They struck up a conversation and found they had several mutual interests – sports teams, a love of classic cars, etc. One of the men noticed that the other had Merrill Lynch materials and asked if he worked for them. Yes, he worked in back-office operations in New York.
The Marriott executive gave him a business card, not really expecting to hear back from him, and they continued their conversation.
Weeks later, the Marriott executive came into his office to see his voicemail light flashing on his phone. It was a call from his friend at Merrill Lynch. The reason Marriott was excluded from investments by at least one client – the United Methodist Church – was because a portion of Marriott's revenues came from the rentals of pornographic movies in their hotel rooms.
Within a year, Marriott's policies were changed and it's no longer possible to rent pornographic movies in a Marriott Hotel. Was it that chance encounter and conversation or would Marriott have come to that decision on their own? We'll probably never know, but we're now proud to have investments in Marriott International Inc. (ticker symbol MAR) – not only because their stock is thought to be a good financial investment, but also because their values are aligned with ours.
Does Socially Responsible Investing really do anything? You bet it does!


Well, so much for a week off. I managed to complete the base on the Zombie Dragon which has sat around since I painted it hurriedly on Boxing Day.
Last night, we had an Agent Carter epic TV watching catch up session so I painted while it was on. I did manage to more or less finish a German 251/10 command half-track. Although the vehicle is finished, it is missing the gunner holding the Pak36 and the rear gunner with an MG42.
Here's the mobile phone pics from the paint table.
For a moment I thought the saurus might be the half track crew!

In an uptrend, a long white candlestick is followed by a long black candlestick that opens above the prior while candlestick's high and then reverses to close around the low of the day. The second candlestick must close well into the first candlestick's real body – beyond half of the prior candle's real body. This forms the Dark Cloud Cover (pattern on the left) and it is a bearish pattern. Exactly the opposite situation is the case at the bottom. At the low, it is called Piercing Line.

I accidentally killed a lot of chickens, figured out how to put them in a whole and feed them, then build a fence to keep them in and build a little garden (somewhat ironically my own garden got sadly neglected). I have visited some worlds and had a look around in the Molcraft world which is RAD.
The first is my year 10 Science class.
I am really lucky to have a super awesome class of students who are willing to give things ago. To this end, 4 boys (I'm going to try and get some girls involved too but won't push it if they don't want to) are building a 'body' for the staying alive unit. Other students are making videos, putting together presentations or making some resources for students to learn about – the idea was everyone in the class should become an expert on something that helps us 'Stay Alive' that they could present to the class in some way at the end of the topic.
They have made a heart – the blue is deoxygenated blood, and the other side will be red. When this is live, the 'liquid' pulses to simulate a beating heart. They are working on connecting the heart to the lungs via the correct arteries and veins – hence they had the diagram of the heart up next to their model to check they were making it right.
Here is the lung next to the heart. The grey box is air – they couldn't have it empty so have settled for grey but we wondered about colourless… but then how would you 'see' it. And wen this is running, the blood pulses through the arteries and veins. If we get time, there are plans to look at building a model alveoli too.
Because these students are keen and already have the software, setting this up was really easy for me as I didn't have to do a thing. They have taught me a lot about mods (I still need to learn some more) and also how easy it is to set up a server in a cloud somewhere. At the moment the world lives on a memory stick and on the shared drive at school – but we spent time today talking about how we could set up a school server with the robotics teacher.
The Second is with what Dave Warren has done.
Dave has pretty much built a Chem lab in Minecraft. It is AMAZING. (I think his son helped). I know Dave both through his Chemistry outreach (which Dunedin is soo lucky to have access to) but also through Hands on Science, and we have kind of talked about this project off and on for a while, so it was really really AWESOME to see it for real today.
What he found (I'm sure others might know this but I didn't) was if you smash up the rocks, or the dirt or whatever using a particular mod, you can break down the substance into the atoms that make it up – ie you can get silicon and oxygen from rocks, or carbon, oxygen and hydrogen from trees. Which you can then manipulate into different molecules.
Which is awesome – but so is the ability to just have a play around. We spent some time today talking to the boys about what they would like, and how we could make it manageable for teachers too (I think the students might like to just play, but teachers might like a quest to follow to give some more structure).
So my students are going to work with Dave's students to kick the whole thing off. We talked about servers, to which they replied, oh, that is easy, we already have one set up. But I would still like them to teach me, hopefully I can keep up, and maybe we can make a bigger one.
So at the moment I am feeling really excited about where this might go. I am certainly not ready to roll this out to my whole class, but probably could do so by the time chemistry comes around in term 2. I will also extend the invitation to other interested students and maybe (with the awesome Kevin who teaches robotics and is WAY more skilled in this than me) set up some sort of lunch time coding club. Kevin has some arduino gear that I am really keen to get my hands on as well.


Lee is Merseyside born artist who has spent most of his life living and working in Liverpool. He likes to use a range different media and has in the past produced multimedia installations.
There are re-occurring themes that underpin the collective and ongoing nature of his work.
Lee is reluctant to reveal any meaning to his work. It is not about understanding meaning. It is about making connections, no matter how small. It is about being at ease with ourselves in the universe. The thing about the 'small' is that it connects us all. It's not the 'big' gesture. It is all the small events that affect and shape our lives.
Currently working at Make studios in the Northern Docks of Liverpool and is looking forward to producing a new body of 3-Dimensional work.

I had mentioned previously my preference for and enjoyment of quirky superhero movies—movies that explore, in unique, non-mainstream fashion, what it means to be a superhero. I thought it might be interesting to list some of the movies I have in mind. Feel free to add to the list in the comments, or to disagree with my choices ("Not quirky enough!").
1. "Chronicle." This movie is foremost on my mind because I just saw it, for the third time, this past Sunday. Three teens—a pensive jock, a popular stud, and a shy, introverted geek—are zapped by glowing alien rocks. They gain superpowers like telekinesis and limited telepathy, and find themselves growing ever stronger as they practice using their powers. Andrew, the geeky one, becomes the strongest of the three, but perhaps because he's a social outcast as well as constantly abused by his alcoholic father, he also becomes the least ethical, eventually emerging as the film's supervillain. "Chronicle" counts as quirky in part because it uses the "found footage" handheld camera format seen in films like "The Blair Witch Project" and "Cloverfield." It's also a cerebral film, exploring the nature of evil and offering us no easy answers. There's a great deal of thematic overlap with "Revenge of the Sith," which documents the fall of Anakin Skywalker, a similarly troubled individual.
2. "The Incredibles." I've written up "The Incredibles" before, but it deserves mention here because of how tightly it weaves superhero-related themes with other themes like family and greatness. The politically incorrect message of "The Incredibles" is that elites do exist: we're not all equal in intellect and physical ability. The movie is also a clever alloy of both the superhero and spy genres, which are smoothly blended thanks to Michael Giacchino's versatile and memorably eclectic soundtrack. The quirk factor comes from the fact that "The Incredibles" handles most of its issues through the lens of family and, despite being ostensibly for kids, it folds adult issues like revenge and infidelity into its well-structured plot. Typical, big-budget superhero films normally avoid family issues and view the hero as some form of insular Other: Superman the alien, Spider-Man the mutant, Batman the distant rich dude, Tony Stark the maverick genius. "The Incredibles" stresses elitism, on the one hand, and familial teamwork on the other.
3. "Kick-Ass." I reviewed this movie here. "Kick-Ass" is essentially a scaled-down, teen version of the Batman saga: none of the superheroes in this film actually possesses superpowers. Kick-Ass himself is just a middle-class high-schooler fed up with the inaction of his fellows: we all dream of being super, so why don't we ever chase that dream? Along the way, Kick-Ass meets Big Daddy and Hit Girl, a father-daughter team who are, in Kick-Ass's words, "the real deal." Hit Girl is particularly vicious, but Big Daddy has moves of his own, as he demonstrates in the scene where he takes out the evil Frank d'Amico's posse. Gleefully profligate with the gore (a guy gets crushed in a car compactor; another gets exploded in a giant microwave) and the bad language (most of which flows torrentially from Hit Girl's mouth), "Kick-Ass" most certainly qualifies as a quirky superhero flick.
4. "Hancock." I don't care what the critics say—I like "Hancock." Many journalistic complaints about this movie center on the notion that "Hancock" is trying to be two movies at once, and that it ultimately can't decide on what tone to strike. I don't see it that way: if anything, the film's changing tone reminds me of a Korean movie, "YMCA Yagu Danji," which starts off as a comical exploration of old-school peninsular baseball but eventually becomes a serious and sad meditation on the Japanese occupation of Korea. "Hancock" pulls off the same maneuver: it begins as a humorous tale about a drunken, homeless, misanthropic superhero, then widens into a more serious, more epic exploration of the eponymous Hancock's origins, and of the awesome, godlike mythology underlying his superpowered nature (spoiler: Hancock turns out to be half of a divine pair). In a typical superhero movie, you don't expect the hero to stuff one bad guy's head up another bad guy's ass, but that's what happens in "Hancock." That alone qualifies this superhero movie as quirky.
5. "Spider-Man 2." You could argue that, because it's a big-budget summer actioner, "Spider-Man 2" doesn't belong on this list of small, idiosyncratic films. But that assessment misses the point: "Spider-Man 2" was directed by Sam Raimi who, until he took the reins of the Spider-Man franchise, was better known for low-budget gross-out comedies like "The Evil Dead" and "Army of Darkness." The man is the king of quirkiness, but he wasn't given full rein to express that quirkiness until the second Spider-Man film, which plays much more like a Raimi-style monster movie. One of Raimi's favorite actors, Bruce Campbell, appears in all three Spider-Man films, thereby upping the quirk factor. Alfred Molina, as Doctor Octopus, does stellar work as a good man turned villainous. "Spider-Man 2" sits perfectly in the cusp between the first and third movies: it's more explicitly Raimi-ish than is the first movie, and isn't as over-burdened with heroes and villains as is the third movie. It's a smaller, more intimate, more nuanced film than either its predecessor or its successor.
I'm always on the lookout for intelligent superhero films. While I enjoy the crash-bang spectacle of the bigger-budget popcorn flicks, like "The Avengers" or "The Dark Knight" or "Man of Steel," I often find that those big films are missing something at the core. Maybe they lack heart. Maybe they're weak on characterization. Maybe they aren't very original in how they explore a hero's coming-into-power. Maybe they simply lack humor. Whatever their flaws, the huge Hollywood productions often fail to satisfy, which is why I rejoice whenever a film that approaches superheroism from a unique angle makes an appearance. The five movies listed above offer something more to the superhero genre: smarts, character studies, and transgressive, yes-we-just-went-there humor. If you haven't seen the above films, I'd highly recommend them.

Each year when I start thinking of Cathy and Mandy's spectacular summer event, I try to come up with a list of picture books that I just can't live without. And then I start plotting ways to include more than only 10 books in my post. Add to my confusion a simply wonderful trip to Nerd Camp. This year was no different. I went through the same process and then went to Nerd Camp. And then went on a picture book book-buying frenzy. As I begin writing this post, we are barely scratching the surface of the month of August. Sigh. I'm in trouble.
After much deliberation, I've decided I just have to go back to picture books that are new to me that I just can't wait to share with my fourth graders. My decision is attributed largely to sessions I attended at #nErDcampMI with the inspiring Jillian Heise. She is a 7th and 8th grade Language Arts teacher from Wisconsin who committed to reading a picture book to her students each and every day of the 2014-2015 school year. Not only did she focus on sharing the joy of picture books with her students, but she also was very intentional and purposeful in why she was doing it. Her presentation (shared here) moved me and revitalized my love of picture books. I especially loved slide #7 and all of the feedback from her kids. I'm thrilled to be joining the #classroombookaday challenge with my learners this year!
Part of Jillian's presentation(s) included passing around picture books for us to read. While doing so, I found so many of the titles I'm about to share with you! A handful of them also came from my summer travels and the independent book shops I visited.
I giggled out loud as I began reading this book! What a character! Bernice reminded me of a pouty, self-centered little toddler who is having one heck of a bad day. She definitely redeems herself and reminds readers of how our attitude can change everything.
Another giggle-out-loud read that makes us realize how much the way we talk to others and our attitude influences what happens to us. Don't want to drop too many spoilers here, but I'll just say that I can definitely see readers debating this one much in the same way we debate what happens in another favorite picture book, I Want My Hat Back.
Hilarity ensues when these nocturnal creatures realize they are afraid of night animals! I also adored the illustrations in this one.
Younger students will appreciate this silly story while older students will tune in more to the grammar humor in this funny book.
What a sweet story! This will definitely be one of the first books I read to my fourth graders this year. It will bring about conversations about how we take care of each other and make sure everyone feels included in our learning community.
As soon as I spotted this one, I knew it belonged in our classroom library. My fourth graders have been obsessed with Liesl Shurtliff's Rump and Jack in the past two years, and this amusing rendition of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale will fit in perfectly.
I'm a huge fan of Wendell Minor's work and his focus on nature, so this was a must-have for me. Beautiful language accompanied by gorgeous illustrations depicting a scene both during the day and at night. I'll enjoy sharing this one alongside another find, Northwest Animal Babies, which will make a great mentor text for writing informational texts.
This book has been on my radar for quite some time, and I took it as a sign that I should finally buy it when I saw it while traveling to some of our nation's beautiful national parks this summer. Like many nature lovers, I am thankful to both of these men for working to preserve areas in our gorgeous country.
After visiting the majestic Redwoods this summer, this is a book I can't wait to share with my 4th grade readers. It's based on the true story of Julia Hill and the two years she spent living in one of the ancient Redwood trees to help save it from destruction.
There are just so many more I could've added (and I admit, I snuck in a few extras...) I'm thrilled to have connected with others who will be embarking on a #classroombookaday journey through Twitter, as I'm sure that will bring many more magnificent picture books into my life! Speaking of which... now I'm looking forward to reading which books appear on everyone else's #pb10for10 lists! Happy reading!

20th Century Fox will be soon be joining Disney and Universal as studio with their own theme parks. Ground was broken on Tuesday for Twentieth Century Fox World, a 25-acre complex to be built in Malaysia, about 30 miles northeast of Kuala Lumpur.

High school football players rescue screaming woman from car as smoke pours out – "We weren't worried about ourselves"
A group of high school football players from Roma, Georgia, are being hailed for saving a woman trapped in her car after a crash.
According to reports, the incident, which took place on Friday, occurred when the woman in question, a 50-year-old driving a silver car, swerved to avoid being hit by another vehicle driven by a teenager.
Rome Police Department Assistant Chief Debbie Burnett told USA Today that the 50-year-old then crashed into a white SUV and was thus trapped inside her vehicle.
To make matters worse, the silver car then began to emit smoke. The door was jammed; the woman left in unimaginable distress.
Fortunately, though, help was at hand.
High school football players Treyvon Adams, Tyson Brown, Antwion Carey, Alto Moore and Cesar Parker, in addition to classmate Messiah Daniels, saw the crash and instinctively jumped into action.
Adams was driving the other boys to school when they were witness to the collision.
"We all knew we had to get her out before something worse would happen," Adams told WAGA-TV.
"It was right in front of me," he explained to USA Today. "I turned off the car and jumped out and said, 'Hey look, let's go help her.' The woman was leaning over into the passenger seat begging for help. She had blood on her face and was screaming."
Luis Goya, a teacher at Rome High School, heard the crash and called 911.
"While I was in front of the school during my morning duty, I heard a loud noise at the intersection that appeared to be a wreck," Goya wrote on social media. "While I was running to the intersection, I noticed that two cars were involved.
"There was a 50 year old lady trapped in her car and couldn't get out. Smoke started to come out of the car, and fluid started to spill everywhere in the intersection. The door was jammed and in terrible shape."
He added: "While I was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher, the football players who witnessed the wreck, ran to the car and started helping the lady. They literally started using their strength to pry the door open, so the lady could be released."
One of the high school heroes, Brown, said that he and his friends hadn't hesitated to potentially put themselves in harm's way to save the lady in the silver car.
"We weren't worried about ourselves. We were worried about the lady," he told WAGA-TV.
"After a few seconds of pulling and pushing the door, the boys ended up opening it and helped her get out of the car," Goya wrote on Facebook.
"She was shaking and still in panic, but our RHS boys gave her comfort and were able to help her.
"The Rome High School football players really showed up today. They went above and beyond to help this lady without hesitation."
The boys' high school football coach, John Reid, watched a video of his players involved in the rescue. He said he couldn't be prouder.
"When I saw the video I was like, oh my gosh, these kids really did run right into danger and have a sensational event where they helped a lady out of a car that could have caught fire," Reid said.
"Are they heroes? I bet they are to that woman and her family. To us, we're just really proud of them."
Thank God the boys were on the scene to help this poor woman when she was in need.

Q: Display embedded html url video in Tkinter or Kivy Is there a way to display an embedded url video  in a Tkinter of Kivy-based interface?
I saw you can display html code in Tkinter with tkhtmlview, or you can display entire web pages with cef. In addition, you can embed local video files/video streaming in Tkinter, but I found no info on embedded url video, as you would do with an HTML-based code.
My wish was to display different videos from embedded video url (not youtube videos) that are coming from an excel file and/or sql database in Tkinter or Kivy.

A: I am not sure of embedded urls but as of a hyperlink, you can use the following code:
def clickable_url():
    webbrowser.open_new_tab(mylink)

Button(root, text=mylink, bd=0, command=clickable_url).pack()


The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has admitted hackers attempted to breach its systems to steal crucial information ahead of the 2017 election.
Chairman Wafula Chebukati told the National Assembly's Justice and Legal Affairs committee that people intending to steal data attempted to access IEBC servers last year.
"Attempts were made but our systems were not penetrated because of secure firewalls and other security systems," Chebukati told members of the committee led by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkonga.
This was the first time the commission, which has in the recent past denied reports that there have been attempts to compromise its systems, admitted that persons with bad intentions had tried to break into its servers to steal crucial data ahead of the next elections.
Chebukati however did not reveal the identities of the people who tried to hack into the IEBC system. He said the servers were well protected and not easily penetrated.
"We want to know if the allegations that some Russians attempted to access IEBC systems are true," said Bumula MP Boniface Otsula.
Talk of hackers has gained currency in recent days, with politicians, among them National Assembly Leader of Majority Aden Duale, calling for investigations and the punishing of those behind the attempted attacks.
Detectives are said to be on the trail of key suspects said to be behind the well-organised gang reportedly working with two Russians and an American to develop codes to access IEBC data.
Meanwhile, Chebukati, who was accompanied by Chief Executive Officer Ezra Chiloba, expressed fears that the commission may not meet the timelines set out by the law on the procurement of ballot papers.
He said the commission was required to have delivered ballot boxes by April 10, but noted that a High Court ruling in a case challenging the procurement process had interfered with their time frames.
The IEBC boss asked the MPs to move an amendment to the election laws to alter the time frames for the procurement of the ballot papers.
"We are proposing to move the April 10 deadline, which requires four months' procurement of technology before elections, to at least two months," said Chebukati.
Mr Chiloba said the earliest the Commission could sign the contract for the supply of ballot papers was mid-April.
"Friday is the last day for evaluation of the tender. We still have seven days of review and then another 14 mandatory days to notify of the award. So the earliest we can sign the contract is April 15," he said.
The issue of data hacking rekindles memories of the 2013 elections when key politicians claimed that the IEBC system had been infiltrated with the intention of compromising the result of the General Election.
In the current case, both the Opposition and the Government have challenged IEBC to assure Kenyans that its systems are secure and capable of delivering credible and verifiable results in the August 8 polls.
It was the first time IEBC was appearing before the committee since its seven members were sworn in.
The commission has had to deal with a number of hurdles in the run-up to the election, including pending bills of Sh200 million arising from an extension of the voter registration exercise by five days.

Leo Carlton during his pilot training (roughly 1943).
In 1997, I lost my grandpa Carlton to leukemia. Since my aunts, uncles and grandma on my dad's side keep telling me that I am his spitting image, I guess I have a special bond to him. In honor of tomorrow (June 3) being National Cancer Survivors Day, I wanted to write this post to honor him.
It wasn't until two years ago when I dove head first into a history project for my grandpa. He was a B-24 co-pilot based in Cerignola, Italy with the 459th Bomb Group. During his 10th mission, his plane was damaged near Munich, Germany, and they tried to land in Switzerland. However, a dummy runway setup by the Germans served it's purpose and their plane, the Cherry II, landed on the wrong side of the border. He and his crew were taken POWs.
His story is one that I am honored to have researched. His personality and attitude toward his very hard circumstances, I feel, are what got him through this fight with cancer. Thought he lost his war in the end, he fought numerous battles – won a few and lost a few.
I write this post in honor of him, and all other cancer survivors. If you, or someone you know is a cancer survivor, click here and take a moment to honor all cancer survivors by writing your (or their) story. This Facebook app allows you to read the stories, share your own, and find hope. You won't regret it.
My name is Eric Jaeger from Austria. I'm living in the town of Hoechst where your grandfather had his emercency landing 1944. In the meantime I did a lot research of the B-24 bomber with the serial number 42-78106. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm looking for a picture of the crew of Cheery II.


Tommy Gavin a Lions Fan?
We're almost through Season 4 of Rescue Me. I spotted Denis Leary wearing a BC Lions shirt earlier in the season and scooped a screenshot on Episode 11.
We know Leary is a hockey fan and although I'm pretty sure we may never see him in a Canucks jersey, it was kinda neat to catch a local connection on one of our favourite shows.
Season 4 of Rescue Me is now airing in Canada on Showcase, Tuesday nights at 10.
Is there a fireman in the building? Because those two pics are so hot my eyes are on fire! Hubba hubba!
that is seriously hot, damn hot, real hot.
And it's not even shot in Vancouver–it's film in Brooklyn. That's a long way for a Lions t-shirt to travel.
I swear I recall something about Dennis Leary and the Lions. In fact, I'm thinking he may have been at a game last season (hence the '06 on the shirt). But I'm old and the brain doesn't function all that well any longer, so I could very well be making all this up.
Leary is a big hockey fan, so maybe his interest has expanded to other Canadian sports?
Just read that Vancouver native Michael J Fox is joining the cast of Rescue Me for a few episodes next season and that he and Leary have been long time friends so I'm now betting that's the connection.


Young adults are struggling in the job market, but signs show that they may be able to start getting their heads above water now. This infographic from Visual.ly and the New York Times, however, shows how recent college graduates have college degrees, but have yet to find jobs that make use of that very expensive degree.
According to the statistics drawn up from the New York Times, a good percentage college graduates under the age of 25 find themselves in positions that do not require a college degree. Specifically, out of all 2009 college graduates, 22 percent of them are working in jobs that do not require a degree. On top of that, 22.4 percent of them are not working at all.
However, it is great to see that most of the college students are working in positions that require a degree. 55.6 percent of those 2009 graduates are in these positions, but they are not making a lot of money. Of those working in positions that require a degree, their average annual salary is $26,756. It is not surprising, though to see that those graduating with computer science and math degrees are making more use of their degree and earning more. Only 10.3 percent of these graduates are working in jobs that don't need a degree. The ones that are working in jobs that speak to their degree are earning an average annual salary of $34,100. Humanities majors are the ones that are seeming to have the most difficulty.
Take a look at the graphic here for yourself. Are you a recent college graduate facing this? Are you making use of your degree or find that it's difficult to find a position relevant to your major?

Breaking down New Zealand's gun laws in wake of deadly mosque shooting
By Meghan Keneally Mar 15, 2019, 11:47 AM ET
WATCH: A gunman, dressed in tactical gear, appeared to livestream video of the shooting on social media, according to New Zealand police.
A man got in a verbal dispute with his neighbor before going on a shooting spree with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 13 people. That was nearly 30 years ago and was the deadliest shooting in New Zealand's history, until Friday.
The mass shooting of 49 people at mosques in Christchurch is not only exponentially larger than the Aramoana shooting in 1990, but it also equates to the same number of gun homicides that happened in the country from 2010 to 2016, according to New Zealand police data.
Unlike in the United States, where calls for greater gun control after mass shootings are often met by deaf ears when it comes to federal regulation, three mass shootings — only one of which happened in New Zealand — prompted legislative changes.
The Aramoana shooting led to changes in the nation's gun laws, and a review that was already underway in 1995, gained more momentum after shootings in Scotland and Australia. In Scotland, the shooting of 16 students and a teacher in March 1996 prompted the banning of private ownership of handguns in the United Kingdom, and after the Port Arthur massacre where 35 people were killed in a series of shootings, Austrailia enacted widespread tightening of gun laws.
Ambulance officers transfer a boy to Dunedin Public Hospital, New Zealand, Nov. 14, 1990, after he had been shot in Aramoana, a tiny township, 17 miles north of Dunedin. David Gray armed with a high powered rifle went on a rampage, killing 12 people, including four children and a police officer.
Historical ties with those two countries, as well as a general reaction to those events internationally impacted New Zealand's view on their own national laws.
Gun laws in New Zealand
The country had gun registration laws dating back to the 1800s, but in recent history, the most notable laws was the Arms Act of 1983 that banned the registration of certain long guns and required police to conduct background checks on anyone hoping to get a gun registration.
That Act created a regulation so that anyone over the age of 16, who is a "fit and proper person" and the law defines as "a person of good character who will abide by the Laws of New Zealand," can be legally granted a gun license; which is require in order to buy or own a gun.
The national reaction to the deadly shooting in Aramoana in 1990, prompted a call for tighter gun restrictions that was established in 1992.
Those new amendments included greater oversight over the acquisition of ammunition, restricting sales to only firearms license holders and requiring permits for people to order guns or ammunition by mail, updating and adding more information including photographs to individuals'gun licenses, and requiring secure storage for guns.
The New Zealand Police note how the Arms Act of 1983 doesn't require gun license holders to register their specific firearms with the exception of any military style semi-automatic firearms, pistols or other restricted weapons.
People pay their respects at the memorial service held at the Port Arthur historic site for the 35 victims of the Port Arthur massacre, May 19, 1996.
A national report that reviewed their gun laws was released in 1997 and, at the time, they estimated that there were between 700,000 and 1,000,000 firearms owned by New Zealand civilians, according to the police.
Low gun violence rates
According to an information release from the New Zealand police, there were a total of 69 murders with a firearm in the entire country over the span of a decade, from 2008 to 2017.
Beyond that, the New Zealand Police noted in a separate release that in 20 years, from December 1998 to December 2018, there were a total of 15 murders committed by someone, who had a firearms license.
By comparison, the Centers for Disease Control reported that in 2017 there were 39,773 gun deaths in the U.S., though the majority of those were suicides. Of that total number, 37 percent were homicides with guns, meaning that in one year there were more than 14,700 gun homicides in the U.S.
A marked difference is the inherent size gap in the two country's populations, with New Zealand having a population of less than 4.8 million people while the U.S. has an estimated 327.2 million people, but the gun violence rates are notably different when looked at with comparative sizes.
CNN cites a 2015 study that reported New Zealand had an adjusted rate of about 1 gun death per 100,000 people, while in 2017, the United States has an adjusted rate of 12 gun deaths per 100,000 people.
"Fortunately, the vast majority of New Zealanders never feel the threat of illegal firearms in their neighbourhood [sic]," then-assistant police commissioner Malcolm Burgess said in 2014.

With a full profile of moisture in most parts of the Cotton Belt and an abundance of good cotton varieties and technologies targeted to each growing region, what does a grower need to do to get ready for 2019?
In areas where cotton is going be planted after cotton, pay attention to pest issues that may occur with no rotation. Have the fields tested for nematodes and soil-borne diseases and select varieties accordingly. Strongly consider putting nematode resistant varieties on fields with a history of nematodes.
Talk to your neighbors to find out which weed control technology they're planning to use in order to minimize off-target movement – and challenges between neighbors. Communicate before purchasing seed so everyone can be on the same page and place similar technologies adjacent to one another.
Pay attention to what's in the sprayer. A lot of observed damage in fields last year came from the "self-inflicted wound" of tank contamination. Know which technology – XtendFlex, Enlist, Roundup Ready, LibertyLink or none – is in each field and treat accordingly. And, be sure to completely flush and clean sprayers after each use according to herbicide label directions.
Sample fields and fertilize accordingly. Know where you stand with soil nutrient levels before planters roll. In many cases, fields may be low in potassium or phosphorus. Soil sampling is the best way to help growers know early how prioritize their nutrient budget.
Variety selection is still key. Look at the variety options as a whole for your fields based on maturity, the traits that come with each variety, yield testing results and fiber quality package. When possible look at multiple locations and multiple years of yield results to determine yield stability.
Get back to basics. Cotton growers know how to grow cotton. But, sometimes, everyone needs reminders to help avoid problems – and the time and expenses needed to fix them.

Q: How to create an observable in RxJS which waits for 2 observables ( in sequence) , then acts , and then waits for those 2 again in sequendce I'm struggling with a specific scenario for which I was hoping to use RxJS :
There are two observables which should trigger in sequence for a value to be registered  :

*

*An observable representing a  user pressing a button

*An observable representing a  device returning it's next value
After the user presses the button, it should wait until the device returns it's next value, then this value should be captured and processed. After that, it should again wait for the same sequence of events.
I found that it works once if I use concat, and I complete the observables upon receiving the button action and the device's value.
However, after the observables complete I can't use them anymore for subsequent actions.
I also found that I could use zip, which would trigger after both observables return their next() , but then the order isn't guaranteed ( it won't return the next value after the button was pressed, it will emit the value that was emitted in the meantime).
What would be the best-practice solution for this case ?
import { Observable, Subject, forkJoin } from 'rxjs';
import { concat, repeat, switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

let user: Subject<any> = new Subject<any>();
let device: Subject<number> = new Subject<number>();

user.pipe(concat(device)).subscribe(() => {
    console.log("both called");
});

setInterval(() => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        user.complete();
        console.log("user action executed");
    }, 2000);

    setTimeout(() => {
        device.next(new Date().getSeconds());
        console.log("device value sent");
        device.complete();
    }, 5000);
}, 10000);

A: exhaustMap will let you listen to another stream while ignoring consequent events from the source stream:

const { fromEvent, timer, Subject } = rxjs;
const { exhaustMap, take } = rxjs.operators;

// mock device$ will output every 3 seconds
const device$ = new Subject();
timer(0, 3000).subscribe(device$);
device$.subscribe(console.log); // output device ticking

// listen to button clicks
const btn = document.getElementById('btn');
const click$ = fromEvent(btn, 'click');
click$.pipe(
  // when a button is clicked -- we start listening
  // for the next event on the device$
  // until then we don't react to click$
  exhaustMap(() => device$.pipe(take(1)))
).subscribe(value => {
  console.log('Clicked at ' + value);
});
<script src="https://unpkg.com/rxjs@6.4.0/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js"></script>

<button id="btn">Clicker</button>

Heres an illustration of what's going on

Play with the exhaustMap operator here.
Hope this helps

A: You can switchMap and return another observable.

const { of, fromEvent } = rxjs;
const { switchMap, delay } = rxjs.operators;

fromEvent(document.getElementById('btn'), 'click').pipe(
    switchMap(e => of('some value').pipe(delay(1000)))
  )
  .subscribe(val => { console.log(val) });
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/rxjs/6.4.0/rxjs.umd.min.js"></script>
<button id="btn">Click</button>

Vienna 1910: A survey of the city's architecture and design scene during Frank Lloyd Wright's visit
Christian Witt-Dörring
By 1910 Vienna's architectural avant-garde was deeply divided into two irreconcilable camps. In contrast to Josef Hoffmann and his Secessionist circle, which subscribed to the unity of the arts and consequently pursued the ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk or Total Work of Art, the lonely wolf Adolf Loos rejected this model as nothing more than a new type of corset. Loos demanded a strict division of art and function. During Wright's visit to Vienna in 1910 – and even while the father of modern Viennese architecture, Otto Wagner, was still active – a new generation of architects like Josef Frank and Dagobert Peche began to enter upon the scene. In drawing from both approaches a new generation reached its own conclusions as to what the future role of architecture and design in society should be.
Taking Wright and the Robie House as its central focus, Frank Lloyd Wright: Origins and Influences explores the international exchange of ideas that shaped the work of progressive designers in Britain, Europe and America at the turn of the twentieth century.

I'm sorry she died and I'm trying to respect whatever goodness was in her.
We are all in her same prison - I really have come to believe it.
She was an interrogator, not a torturer. She didn't like what was going on? What was going on? What did she do? Why is suicide always used to justify the living's firmly held beliefs?
"The way you make a torturer is by trapping them, mentally, emotionally, morally."
Well, I don't know much about torturers, but that's not how you make interrogators. They're trained. She was trained before she went and had to know damn well what she was taught at Huachuca wasn't going to be used for passing out candy to children in orphanages. High marks for insinuation though.
