This brief examines Israeli women's labor market outcomes and how maternity and parental leave laws in the country compare with those in the OECD.
Any substantial discussion about the economic situation of women in Israel – particularly with regard to labor market outcomes – must be placed in the context of the unique demographic trends in the country. At 3.0 children per woman in 2014, as shown in Figure 1, Israel has a much higher fertility rate than any other country in the OECD. In contrast to its fellow OECD countries, Israel's fertility rate today is relatively similar to that in 1980. While other developed countries are dealing with the economic burden of a rapidly aging population and fertility rates below replacement levels, Israel does not face similar demographic challenges.
Israeli society – including its culture, geopolitical situation and governmental policies – has helped encourage both fertility and female participation in the labor market. Such policies include government funded in-vitro fertilization treatments for up to two children, job protection during pregnancy, generous wage replacement rates equal to 100% of the salary during the 14 weeks of paid maternity leave, childcare subsidies for qualifying families, universal preschool from age three and reduced working hours following the return from maternity leave ("nursing hour") (Bowers, 2014).
Yet, in some categories, support for working mothers in Israel lags behind that provided in the OECD. This brief provides context on important trends regarding women in the labor market in Israel and provides guidance on what policies Israel would need to undertake to align with prevailing norms in the OECD in regards to parental leave and family-friendly work practices.


Suffolk MP Peter Aldous has hit out at environment secretary and known climate change sceptic Owen Paterson's claims that last week's floods were a freak event.
The Waveney MP has said it is wrong to dismiss the storm surges as a "once every 500 year" occurrence, warning they are likely to be a thing of the future.
Mr Paterson escaped making a planned urgent statement in the House of Commons on Monday, which would have required him to answer questions from the floor about the floods, because the debates were postponed to give way to MP tributes to Nelson Mandela.
The Tory, who believes MPs should be given the chance to publicly question ministers, has secured an adjournment debate on Wednesday.
He said: "It is wrong to dismiss these floods as a once in a 500-year occurrence.
He said Lowestoft district council had come up with a scheme which, if it had been in operation last week, would have prevented some of the damage.
It is not yet clear who will be called to respond to the questions.

This dad taught his blind, autistic son how to shift his Subaru WRX STI
Jeff Glucker August 23, 2017 Comment Now!
The world is in rough shape right now. Whenever we watch the news, read tweets, or scroll through our Facebook feeds, we are confronted by all that is awful around us. Occasionally, however, there's a ray of light that reminds us that there is still good in the world. Today that light comes from Spenny, his father, and a Subaru WRX STI.
Spenny is blind and autistic. His father Omar is a Subaru owner who loves his son very much. Omar has discovered that his son loves going for rides in the elder's WRX STI. He enjoys being with his father in the car, and he loves going fast. Omar decided to get his son involved in the action, so he taught him how to shift through the gears.
Omar created a video to show off Spenny's talent with a gearshift. Omar rolls down the road as Spenny has his hand on the shift lever. Omar calls out a gear and Spenny responds by telling his dad where that gear is and then shifting the lever into place.
From there on out, it's nothing but pure joy on the faces of both guys. Spenny gets to participate in the driving, and he obviously loves every moment of it. Omar is thrilled that his son is happy. The two have a great bond, and the STI only strengthens it.
If this video doesn't make you smile, you need to reevaluate what's going on in your life. Omar and Spenny are a great example of a father and son connecting over a shared passion.

Utah lesbian couple's adoption stalls despite court order

A lesbian couple have gone from elation to frustration in their quest to be equally recognized as mothers of their daughter after the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics on Tuesday refused to accept a court order approving their second-parent adoption.
Attorney Shane A. Marx, who represents Kimberly and Amber Leary, presented the office with a final adoption order signed March 26 by a 3rd District Court judge and requested a new birth certificate listing both women as parents of their 16-month-old daughter. Only Amber Leary is currently named on the birth certificate for their child, whom the couple conceived through assisted reproduction.
Marx said a clerk requested the couple's marriage certificate — something Marx said is not required of heterosexual couples, but the office says is routine — and couldn't issue the document without proof the Learys are validly married.
"Legally, that's not a distinction they're allowed to make," Marx said. "If a judge orders it, they are not allowed to choose. That is not the role of the Office of Vital Statistics. It is the judge who decides if a couple is legally qualified to adopt."
Two assistant attorneys general joined the hours-long dispute and eventually told Marx the Utah's attorney general's office would review the matter.
Marx left without an amended birth certificate.
Tom Hudachko, spokesman for the Utah Department of Health, said it is "standard practice" to request a marriage certificate in all adoptions involving married couples. As for the status of the Learys' request, Hudachko said, "the department is reviewing the court order with our attorneys to determine our options for proceeding."
But Marx said the basis for the adoption order is clear: "Once you grant somebody a right, it can not be taken away," Marx said. "Once all these couples married, they obtained rights, and the state can't revoke them because of a stay in a separate case in which they are not involved. That's a clear violation of due process."
An estimated 1,243 same-sex couples married between Dec. 20, 2013, when U.S. District Court Judge Robert Shelby overturned Utah's ban on same-sex marriage, and Jan. 6, 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court put the ruling on hold. A number of the those couples subsequently sought second-parent adoptions of their children, which are being opposed by the state.
Amber and Kimberly Leary, who have been together more than six years, married in the first hours after Shelby's decision was released and filed an adoption petition in state court on Dec. 24 — a move they expected would finally resolve Kimberly Leary's ongoing worry about not being legally recognized as one of their daughter's parents.
But following the stay order, 3rd District Judge Andrew Stone, who is handling the adoption, required Marx to notify the attorney general's office and gave the state 45 days to respond. On Feb. 24, the Utah Attorney General's Office submitted an opinion — also filed in several other adoption cases involving same-sex parents — asserting that with Shelby's ruling on hold while the state appeals it, the ban on same-sex marriages remains in effect and any marriages that took place are invalid. The AG's opinion asked judges to stay adoption proceedings or that the couples voluntarily withdraw their petitions. Under Utah law, couples who are in a cohabiting relationship are not allowed to adopt.
In response, Marx argued in a court that the Learys were acting under a valid law at the time they married and thus had vested rights granted to them by the state.
In a hearing held last Wednesday, the state judge agreed, Marx said.
As the Learys, their daughter and relatives who had flown in from out of state listened, Stone approved their adoption.
According to Marx, the judge found the state failed to file a motion requesting a stay or to intervene in the case; it also did not file a motion addressing the constitutional issues the couple raised. Stone then found the Learys were validly married under the state's laws and were entitled to have their marriage recognized regardless of the stay of Shelby's ruling and the eventual outcome of that case, which involves different plaintiffs and issues, Marx said.
Marx said the judge also found approving the adoption was in the child's best interests.
"It was not only a gift to us but to our family as well," Kimberly Leary said. "My dad got to sit there and hear the judge say our daughter is legally my daughter. It was the best day of our lives. It was a big celebration. When that ruling was handed down, it was like this bubble went around my family."
And then came Tuesday. After waiting hours to hear from their attorney, the Learys got the bad news.
"It was completely deflating," Kimberly Leary said. "To think we'd gone through all of this, we followed the law to the 'T,' submitted all the paperwork, answered all the questions — whether it felt intrusive or not, we did it. After we did all of that, for the Office of Vital Statistics to not recognize this is a judge's order and require our attorney to provide other information to supplement that any other heterosexual couple wouldn't is just not right."
Adds Amber Leary: "Our judge made a ruling and nobody seems to be following that," she said.
Marx adamantly disputes that the office routinely requires marriage certificates, saying he has never been asked to provide a license in an opposite-sex clients' adoption. Nor is it on a list of required documents contained in a letter advising couples how to get a new certificate by mail, he said. And an administrative rule directs the state registrar to issue a new birth certificate "upon receipt of a court order of adoption or a [certified] court report of adoption."
"Most importantly, they have no authority to ask for a marriage license," Marx said. "That is evidence that is presented and weighed by the judge before he grants the adoption and orders amendment of a birth certificate.
Adoption attorney Wes Hutchins, who is not involved in the Leary case but was asked about his experience, said he has only been asked to provide a certified copy of the adoption decree and report of adoption.
"Never, ever in the 23 years that I've been doing it have I been asked for a marriage certificate," Hutchins said.
While the agency did contact the A.G.'s office, "nobody from our office told anybody from the recorder's office not to comply with" the judge's order, said Parker Douglas, chief of staff.
"It's a valid court order until somebody challenges it," Douglas said.
But with the ongoing litigation over Shelby's ruling, the status of couples such as the Leary's is "wide open" to legal interpretation, he said.
Meanwhile, Utah's law stands.
"What Utah's law says isn't intended to demean any child or parent," Douglas said. "What it upholds is a model of gender complementarity and diversity as the best model of parenting."
Douglas said the attorney general's office is reviewing its options, including whether to seek a stay or appeal the order. The situation is complicated because the state is technically not a party in the case, though it has authority to intervene on its own initiative in cases involving constitutionality of state laws. He expects a decision on what action to take by early next week.
"Everybody is trying to take these things seriously and move as quickly as possible," Douglas said, given that children are involved and the relationships are "felt very deeply."

Now, this was something I really didn't expect. Modern, futuristic and electric are the three words I would use to describe Nicolas Ghesquire's collection here with Louis Vuitton. Over the past few seasons, I had noticed Louis Vuitton changing. More robotic almost, very very modern and future inspired. I feel that Nicolas has completely reinvented Louis Vuitton so to speak, and it appears popular with the industry and his clients.
This day and age is all about digital technology. We live and breathe it. Everywhere we go, we cannot escape from the world that has engulfed us with it's power and movement. Nicolas had most certainly acknowledged this with his SS16 collection. It really did grow on me. When I visited the Louis Vuitton : Series 3 exhibition, I could see there that Nicolas has transferred Louis Vuitton to a digital age. This is what is so good, is that he is moving the brand with the times, aswell as the fashion.
Nicolas had been appointed Louis Vuitton's Creative Director in 2014, and in this short time, he has completely renewed the whole brand...for the better. His love for travel is apparent within his collections. This reflects the brand's initial speciality, creating luggage and bags since 1854 for heavy duty. So, the correlation is definitely there. His passion for the brand is undeniable as is his passion for his surroundings and the future of the world, and it shows in the brilliance of his collections. He said, "We are all living with this new dimension. We are all managing how to integrate these new notions of digital, virtual and cyber with out real life."
He has also been noted as a fan of Sci-Fi throughout his life, and this was the foundation of this seasons feel. Silver and metallics teamed with aggressive fabrics really reflected this. He wanted the silver embroidery and silver decoration to really take us to the digital world - and to have some fun. He said also that he wanted light within the collection - with a contrast of coldness. With the heavy black cleated shoes and the leather jackets contrasted with the LV Monogramme - this was exactly that to a T. It's as if Louis Vuitton takes us on a journey - which gets us all very excited.
I could compare this collection to that of Saint Laurent. Very Rock n Roll - with that aggressive edge. However, for some reason, it still comes across feminine. It just works. On paper, it's not meant to, but it really does. It's genius. It kind of changed your opinion on what fashion can be and that individuality is key. It's all about being yourself, carefree and having fun. Travel is such an important part at the heart of the brand, and cleverly, Nicolas has travelled us into the future with this fantastic collection.

Louvinia, a house slave before and during the Civil War, serves as the cook for the Sartoris family. She and her husband Joby are the head of the family of slaves who have served the Sartorises for several generations and who (with the exception of Loosh) stay loyal to them even after the Union army has passed through Yoknapatawpha, which gave most of the slaves in the area a chance to escape. Louvinia continues to work for the family after the War has ended and she has been emancipated. She shares her cabin with them after the big house is destroyed, works with her husband Joby to make the lumber out of which it will be rebuilt, and shows how deeply she can sympathize with their sorrows when she holds a crying Drusilla, Bayard says, "like she used to hold me" (197). She is described as wearing "Father's old hat on top of her headrag" (197), but there is no suggestion that in her case men's clothing implies any sort of rebellion. She is Ringo's grandmother.

We could mention a dozen great iOS word games off the top of our heads, each better than the last, so it takes something really special for us to sit up and take notice. Wordz is one of those very special iOS word puzzle games that really grip you by the scruff of the neck and demand your attention. And with over 800 thousand Worldwide players and as a top ten app in over ten countries you can't deny the popularity of this word game.
The first thing that we noticed about WORDZ was the really neat and clean looking interface. The screen that you make your plays from is just a joy to behold with such well laid out designs and graphics that you know you're going to have so much fun playing the game. Longevity in an iOS game is not often a given , but in this super smooth Word Puzzler with three different game modes you're more than spoiled for choice.
Our favourite Wordz gameplay type is Idealist, where the winner is the fastest player to find the longest word on the table. Classic mode also gets the adrenalin going as you race against your opponents in typical Scrabble like fashion to make as many words as possible with the longer and more complex words getting you the Higher WORDZ score. The third game mode is brilliant and a certain Mr Kawashima's training app is put to shame as this mode gave my addled brain even more of a workout on my iPhone as I battled to find as many words as possible in the challenging Rational Mode.
• Choosing a nickname if the player does not have a nickname attached yet.
• The opportunity to play 10 seconds more for the online game mode.
• A little tip for each board: knowing letter occurrences.
• Pro Crown near the nickname at the top scores list.
• Unlimited time at the practice session.
Nice Game,I will try this.

Rated 3 out of 5 by sexykitten from Works ok I have bought two at the same time and started using mines about one 1/2 months ago and i have noticed a difference but i still need to get maybe 6 more cause i have big apt. I have dirty air ducts from my landlord not wanting to clean them . I first saw these on amazon and and bought them there and so these desktop purifier seems to help . I how ever been having runny nose these past few days so i either need to get air ducts cleaned out or keep buying these for ever room . If anyone one or company have advise on what i need to do far as my air ducts need to be clean let me know cause i do not feel i have to clean them out cause i do not own this house.
Rated 5 out of 5 by danichance from Great product. Totally limits dust. I love using this at night as white noise, SOOOOO much better than a fan!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by DancinDi from Stops nearby dust and smoke pronto Positioning this small air purifier is critical. I have one over the cat litter boxes in our RV. I use non perfumed litter so dust smell is my enemy. I have asthma and allergies. This air cleaner with the ionizer on works so well that we hardly notice the litter boxes. I also add a large hepa at night during high pollen. My daughter uses hers at night near the bed. It cleans and creates white noise. She is an LPN and adores her air cleaner and her sleep. Our third 242 is near the computer in the guest room at our cottage. Great for cleaner smells and white noise. This room has carpet and tends to have an odor that I can smell. Not so with the ionizer on.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Turnemic from I have the older model Bought the model before this one I believe HAP9240. I consistently cleaned the unit and changed the filter each month with the green quality AER HEPA filters. I thought it was working well until I shined a flashlight down the outlet side of the unit, (where the fresh "purified" air is coming out of) and it was filthy. Yes I have the filter in right and yes it has a good seal. I know it's a cheap purifier but I wasn't expecting that amount of dirt and particles on the fresh air side of it. I enjoy Holmes products and I'd like to see Holmes make this right and correct it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by oakey143 from Works fantastic for smokers. I have three kids who come to visit. I am a smoker and the ex wife hads the kids coming back to her smelling of smoke. This little unit keeps the air nice and clean. She can't even smell that I had a cigarette.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sam_ from Quality of Air Purifier The quality of the air purifier really stands out. I have been able to sleep better, and it has solved a number of lingering odor issues in a condo I've recently moved into.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mkoc from Love it! Love this little machine. I sleep so much better at night with this sunny girl in the bedroom. What a value compared to the alternative offerings.

Avi Yemini discusses how the Jim Jefferies Show deceptively edited his interview to push their false narrative to paint him as an Islamaphobe, and the aftermath of his revelation.
How widespread do you think this doctoring of interviews is? I don't want to sound paranoid, but I'd guess it happens all the time. Not just on film, either, but in online and printed publications as well.
Makes all the sense in the world for people who are being interviewed to record the session themselves, if for no other reason than to defend their own reputation against the "fake news" media.


Jermaine Jackson, the brother of the late international idol singer Michael Jackson, said that they are planning to build Jackson Family's five-star hotel- resort and eyeing Yas Island in UAE's capital city as the prime location.
"Talks are going on and it is progressing well. A good area we found is near Ferrari World, so we are looking at that," Jermaine Jackson was quoted on a report.
The world's first Jackson family-themed hotel and resort will showcase the Jackson family's singing career. It will be named Jermajesty following the name of Jermaine's 12 year- old son.
Jermaine and the Jackson family have long standing connections to the region, with Jermaine converting to Islam in 1989, Michael living in the region for a short spell and the Jackson brothers staging a show on Yas Island on November 2012.
UAE investors are in talks to build this first of its kind in the world resort.
On the report, he added that the family is also looking China as the possible home for a second property.

Bullying Grows Among Children with Food Allergies, Sometimes by Teachers: Researchers
'What's surprising is that 20 percent of children report that teachers or school staff have been the ones doing the bullying'
By Melissa Adan
Published Sep 25, 2018 at 6:33 AM | Updated at 7:27 AM PDT on Sep 25, 2018
NBC 5 News
Children across San Diego County are also dealing with an increase of bullying due to their food sensitivity, and sometimes they are being bullied by their teachers, a doctor at Rady Children's Hospital said.
Doctors at Rady Children's Hospital said they have seen a 50% increase of food allergies among children in the last two decades.
"What's surprising is that 20 percent of children report that teachers or school staff have been the ones doing the bullying," said Food Allergy Director Dr. Stephanie Leonard, who is part of an ongoing food allergy research project at Rady Children's Hospital.
Teachers will sometimes roll their eyes at students who bring up a food allergy or accuse them of lying about a food allergy or exaggerating it, Leonard explained.
These behaviors can lead children to feel embarrassment or shame.
According to the research discovered so far in Rady Children's Food Allergy program, about two kids in every classroom may have a food allergy, which adds an extra stress to kids in schools.
Allergies could come from any food but these eight common allergens account for 90% of all reactions in kids: milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, tree nuts (such as walnuts and cashews), fish, and shellfish (such as shrimp), according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Rady Children's Food Allergy program is offering several solutions for San Diego schools to better educate those who care for children with food allergies. For instance, doctors encourage schools to hold "food-free parties" and to monitor unstructured time, like recess and lunch, and intervene when necessary.
"When you change policies or make new rules (ensure) that it's school-wide and not just because of one person or student," said Dr. Leonard. "What we don't want to happen is that another student says 'we can't have food at our parties in class anymore because so-and-so has a peanut allergy.' That certainly singles them out and makes them a higher risk for bullying."
Additionally, Dr. Leonard said it is important for students to have a safe person at school they can address when bullying does occur.

Parents can also look out for key signs to determine if a child might have been a victim of bullying, like a reluctance to go to school, change in mood or a decline in academic performance.


Roberts Bay is located in the Sarasota Bay-Peace-Myakka River watershed in northwest Sarasota County, Florida. Roberts Bay is designated for recreation contains a healthy, well-balanced population of fish and wildlife. The 65 square mile watershed land use is predominantly residential (50%), but also has urban (17%) and 11% agricultural (11%) land use too.
In 1998 Roberts Bay was listed as a waterway with nutrient impairment in accordance with the Clean Water Act. Key sources of nutrients included four domestic wastewater treatment facilities as well as ground water discharge, ground water seepage, septic systems, and surface water runoff.
In 2010, Roberts Bay was removed from Florida's impaired waters list.


You know what's funny? They say that you should reduce your stress as much as possible before doing something traumatic like having surgery. Neat idea, but then it never works out that way. At my first physical therapy appointment this morning, I find out my insurance has changed to where I only pay the co-pay for the first visit, then they don't cover anything until I fulfill my deductible so further appointments are totally on my dime, payable at time of visit. Then I get a call from the hospital, wherein I find out that I am expected to pay my portion of the bill when I arrive for surgery. I've got to admit, it was not even a little on my radar that I might have to shell out upward of $1,000 next week. I don't have it. Luckily, they're working with me on a payment plan. But with those two things, plus the rapid way time is passing, my blood pressure is pretty much through the roof. Fabulous.

Home Featured Thirsty Thursday: Heretic Brewing Company's Make America Juicy Again
Thirsty Thursday: Heretic Brewing Company's Make America Juicy Again
Ed Miller
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday, a weekly column where we pick a beer from our fridge and review it, because in a world where two new breweries launch every single week, sometimes we need some help sifting through all of the hops.
This time of year typically dictates what I'm going to drink. From a purely social aspect, with the National Football League playoffs in full swing, I'm often getting together with others to watch the games. Last weekend was no different, when I had friends over to watch the Divisional Round and, of course, friends never show up empty-handed but instead bring all kinds of brews.
Now, before I delve into this week's featured selection, which a friend found at a local beer store and brought over for the late afternoon game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints, I'll be brutally honest and admit that before I tasted this specific beer, I had never heard of the brewery and had no idea where exactly it was located. Having said that, this week's selection is from Heretic Brewing Company – it's a New England-style IPA called Make America Juicy Again, an obvious play on the now overused catchphrase of President Donald Trump.
Situated between Sacramento and San Francisco, Heretic was founded in 2011 by Jamil Zainasheff, a very distinguished homebrewer. The name, according to Brewbound, is because craft beer drinkers are different from the crowd, especially since 90 percent of consumers think mass market light lagers constitute the universe of beer. It's certified independent craft by the Brewer's Association but, outside of that, I wasn't able to find all that much information on Heretic, other than it has an arsenal of nine year-round beers and another two dozen or so that are specialty releases – Make America Juicy Again is one.
Like many of Heretic's beer, this one seems to almost have a backstory. The brewery claims that it's not about big football commercials and fancy packaging but the liquid in the can, noting: "we spent our money (which is your money if you think about it) on an insane amount of the best hops available, so the can ain't fancy, but the beer certainly is." This beer is also described as being dry-hopped for a hazy, luscious taste, for a gentle bitter and juicy profile. I already feel like I've said juicy too many times but Heretic really drives that point home in describing this beer and if it's like they say it is, I might be in for a treat.
As the company said, there's nothing fancy about the can. It's your standard 12-ounce aluminum can with a sticker label wrapped around it, looking more like something your buddy homebrewed in his basement than a beer available from one coast to another. No information, no art, just the name in orange, the company's logo and the category of this 6.5 percent alcohol by volume beer. There's something to be said about simple.
The first thing I do with a beer like this one is take a big whiff when I crack it open. The aroma was good but nothing really to write home about, in that it certainly featured a citrusy, orange peel smell but it was a little masked by a grain or wheat-like scent. I might've been hoping for a little too much given my recent kick of high ABV northeastern Double IPAs. Make America Juicy Again is gold in color and maybe just a little lackluster in the haze department but it's really well (moderately) carbonated with a significant amount of white head upon pouring and both last until the end.
The taste really reflects the aroma, though it emphasizes the juiciness a bit more. You can really note the citrus peel. It's a little more on the sweeter side which isn't a bad characteristic for a New England-style IPA – not to mention that hint of bitterness at the tail end, which lingers. I enjoyed that. Still, the juiciness is fighting the yeast flavor.
Overall, I thought the juicy factor was nice but I would've perhaps liked it amped up maybe just a little, because I feel like it's trying to overpower the yeasty taste that makes its way through. It's a pretty drinkable beer, though probably one for after you've tried that top-end beer you've been saving for a while or purchased to impress you friends. I like the taste but I think Heretic missed the mark just a smidge, especially when touting its overall juiciness. I'm not exactly sure what a six-pack runs, so you're on your own with this one. The average score on BeerAdvocate is 4.02 out of five, which I think might be a little high, so I give it a 6.3. It's solid but wouldn't be even close to my first choice if I'm looking for a NEIPA.
Stay tuned for next week, because I might just try something from your favorite brewery.

Q: How to stop an animation after an interval in panda3d? The code below does not work to my expectations. I want it to walk north if the user presses the "w" key. The Actor, panda does show movement for the first time not completing the animation, it stops and never moves again. Am I using the engine wrongly? Or Should I use something else to fulfil my purpose?
from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from direct.actor.Actor import Actor
from panda3d.core import Point3
from direct.interval.IntervalGlobal import*
class Window(ShowBase):
    def __init__(self):
        ShowBase.__init__(self)
    def loadModels(self):
        self.envir = loader.loadModel("models/environment")
        self.envir.reparentTo(self.render)
        self.envir.setY(1183.37)
        self.envir.setHpr(0, 8, 0)
        self.panda = Actor("models/panda-model", {"idle": "models/panda-model", "walk": "models/panda-walk4"})
        self.pandaPosY = 502
        self.pandaPosX = 0
        self.pandaPosZ = -102.66
        self.panda.setScale(0.05, 0.05, 0.05)
        self.panda.setY(502)
        self.panda.setZ(-102.66)
        self.panda.setHpr(180, 0, 0)
        self.accept("w", self.MoveForward)
        self.panda.reparentTo(self.render)
    def MoveForward(self):
        pandaForwardWalk = self.panda.posInterval(2, Point3(self.pandaPosX, self.pandaPosY + 50, self.pandaPosZ), startPos = Point3(self.pandaPosX, self.pandaPosY, self.pandaPosZ))
        self.panda.play("walk")
        self.pandaForwardWalk = Sequence(pandaForwardWalk, name="pandaForwardWalk")
game = Window()
game.loadModels()
game.run()

A: To loop the animation continuously, use .loop() instead of .play(). To actually move the model, use either .set_pos(), or look up LerpIntervals: https://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Lerp_Intervals

Chelsea's English Premier League top four hopes could go either way on Sunday, as they travel to face title challengers Liverpool.
Maurizio Sarri's side have won four on the bounce in all competitions leading up to the crunch game and will hope that momentum continues as the season reaches its business end.
The game looks to be in the balance on paper, as Chelsea have won five and Liverpool have won six in all competitions when the sides have met each other since 2010.
Ahead of the game, we have looked at three players that have graced both the blue and red shirts.
After he spent three seasons in Manchester City's first team, Daniel Sturridge moved south to Stamford Bridge in 2009.
The striker didn't truly start to make a name for himself until he had a spell on loan at Bolton Wanderers, where he impressed from the very start and scored eight goals in 12 league appearances.
In 2012, Andre Vilas-Boas arrived as new Blues manager and this signalled a change in fortunes for young Sturridge as he saw himself in the first team picture on a more regular basis. That was until the Portuguese was sacked and Roberto Di Matteo took interim charge. Di Matteo favoured the old guard in his quest to save Chelsea's season.
Sturridge joined Liverpool in January of 2013 and throughout his early Reds career he was vital alongside Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez, also named the deadly "SAS" trio.
However, things took a turn with the departures of Sterling and Suarez; and coupled with a carousel of injuries, his performances dipped and his time in the first team has been sparse ever since.
A loan to West Bromwich Albion in 2018 did little to change the fortunes of Sturridge as he failed to score a league goal in six games.
The forward returned to Merseyside at the start of the 2018/2019 season and has only made 15 league appearances so far, although he did win the Goal of the Month in September for his superb curling effort against his former side Chelsea.
Full-back Glen Johnson signed for The Blues from West Ham United in 2003 following The Hammers' relegation from the top flight.
Roman Abramovich's first signing did not prove out to be the best in the long run as Johnson only managed 41 league appearances over a four-year period. However, he did pick up a League Cup winners' medal in 2005 and an English Premier League medal in the same season.
Two seasons at Portsmouth followed after his departure from Chelsea, but he then made the move to Liverpool in 2009.
Johnson's time at Anfield would prove to be a more successful period on an individual level. He featured 160 times for The Reds in the league and won the 2012 League Cup in the process.
After six seasons on Merseyside, he joined Stoke City where he would eventually finish his career in 2019.
A product of the PSV Eindhoven academy from 1987 until 1993, Boudewijn Zenden arrived on the footballing scene amid huge promise.
His CV looked impressive from the start, with PSV and Barcelona already on the list before his move to Stamford Bridge in 2001.
A rather successful spell at the Nou Camp was unfortunately was not replicated in South West London as he failed to nail down a spot in the first team throughout his three-year stay.
Zenden was loaned out to Middlesbrough in his final season at the club, where he would eventually sign on a permanent basis. The Dutch winger only made 43 league appearances for The Blues.
Liverpool came calling in 2005 but he was hit with a number of serious injuries throughout which ruled him out for the majority of his Reds career.
He did however win the UEFA Super Cup in 2005 and the FA Community Shield in 2006; and also played in both legs of the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League semi-finals against former side Chelsea as Liverpool progressed to the final.
Zenden announced his retirement in 2011 and was even the assistant manager at Chelsea for a short period under Rafael Benitez.


Working mainly with leadership and personal development in corporate environments, the hypnosis I do is mainly targeted towards performance development and helping people overcome problems such as anxiety with presentations, different kinds of fear, confidence issues etc. In addition however I've great success in working with a wide range of issues outside the work environment, such as phobias.
My goal is to help people to take leadership for themselves and to be in the 'driving seat' both in their professional life as well as in their private life.

Q: PHP OO Approach I'm currently re-writing a quote system in PHP which is used by multiple sales advisor's. Each advisor can quote somebody multiple times a day and I'm looking for a better way of managing quote data from a MySQL table.
What would you suggest is the best way to write the system? I'm thinking of going down the route where each quote inherits a kind of quote class which allows it to perform certain operations. I can't see why this would be bad, since the idea of writing a class is for it to be used by multiple children?
If I did this though, the question then becomes, how do I keep a lookup of these quotes when they're being displayed and ensure that the right quote performs the right action? Perhaps an array with a pointer to the class it comes from, or dynamic variable names?

A: I'm doing something similar with a client's website I'm working on. They want to be able to offer promotions, of which could be something like buy one get one free, a set percentage off, a free item, etc. I made an base abstract Promotion class that handles some of the default functionality, but also defines other abstract methods -- load() and save() being the important ones here I believe.
When the information about a promotion is saved, it also stores its class name in there. When the system goes to load that row from the database, it sees the class name, creates an instance of it, and tells it to load the Promotion with information from that row.
Since each Promotion might have different ways to save or load, the table is essentially a template that could be used, but doesn't prevent each individual Promotion subclass from creating its own.
You could essentially do the same thing with your Quotes. Store which subclass saved the quote, and have it load the information. Then when it comes time to display, you can call a general $quote->toHtml() -- or however you want to do it -- and it will be in charge of formatting itself appropriately.
