I think I made a real gooey mess over here on my hard drive. If I had any idea that Pegasus made such a case I would have bought stock long ago.
Very nice looking case and wood!
Only God can make a tree! Indescribable wood, for sure. The case appears to be airline proof (Ha).
Scotti, I was able to get mine what seemed to be quickly because it really wasnt that recent that I started talking to Sam. I was in contact with Sam way before I began talking to Ben, which was early February. It only seems so fast because because Sam was busy doing other things and he was in the States for awhile so he couldnt work on it until he got home.
The inside is like the one up in the left hand corner with the instrument inside.
I see he's using a new kind of handle. If you like yours half as much as I like mine, you'll be very pleased.

At Rock Ridge Family Dentistry, we're always looking for ways to provide an even higher standard of dental care. We're excited to invest in state-of-the-art dental technologies because it means that you'll receive more advanced, effective, and efficient treatment. After all, we're here to keep our patients smiling!
Our office is equipped with a CEREC® machine, which allows us to provide same-day dental restorations. This machine is truly changing the way we practice dentistry, and it also has a number of great benefits for patients.
We first take digital images to create a virtual restoration. This virtual design is then sent to an on-site milling unit that manufactures the precise, natural-looking restoration. Once it is complete, we'll place and fit it right then. The entire process only takes around a couple hours!
We've compiled some of the most common questions about CEREC® crowns. If you have a question that is not listed here, please feel free to contact us and we'd be happy to talk further!
What Are the Pros of CEREC® Crowns?
One of the biggest benefits of CEREC® crowns is how much time it saves patients. Normally, it takes a couple of visits to complete the entire restoration procedure because it involves sending your images to an off-site laboratory for manufacturing. Since we're doing everything in-house, in a single appointment, you won't have to make additional trips to our office.
Another benefit of taking care of everything in one visit is that we won't need to place a temporary crown for you to wear until your permanent one is finished. The crown you get is the crown you keep!
How Much Do CEREC® Crowns Cost?
Many people might think that because there are so many benefits to CEREC® crowns they'll be more expensive than traditional restorations, but that's not necessarily the case. Using CEREC® also means fewer visits and no need to work with an outside laboratory. Many times, a CEREC® crown costs about the same as a traditional dental crown. We'll be able to give you a more accurate estimate once we've seen what work needs to be done.
How Do I Know I Need a CEREC® Restoration?
If you have a weakened or damaged tooth, such as one with a crack, decay, or an old restoration in need of replacing, then you could benefit from CEREC®. We can provide an evaluation in-person to determine if CEREC® is right for you!


I have recently begun to experiment with the use of shadows and spaces within cabinets as being integral facets of their design. Although this small cabinet looks quite simple, it was quite difficult to make. Sometimes making something look uncomplicated takes a lot of work. The bowl was made by Alex Hagen.


Lions ranked No. 1 nationally in AFCA Preseason Coaches' Poll.
WACO – Following the program's first-ever NCAA Division II National Championship in 2017, the Texas A&M University-Commerce football team is ranked No. 1 in the 2018 American Football Coaches Association Division II Coaches' Preseason Poll, as released Monday.
This is the first time the Lions have ever started the season in the No. 1 position. A&M-Commerce received 13 of the 33 first-place votes and edged out 2017 national runner-up West Florida for the top position. The Lions had a 14-1 record in the national championship season and carry Division II's longest active winning streak at 10 games. A total of 43 letter winners and 14 starters – five on offense and nine on defense – return for the Lions.
Three Lion opponents for 2018 are in the top 25 or receiving votes. MSU Texas is ranked 11th, Colorado State-Pueblo is ranked 14th, and Eastern New Mexico is receiving votes.
A&M-Commerce has been ranked in 40 consecutive AFCA polls, dating back to the 2015 preseason poll. This is A&M-Commerce's 46th all-time appearance in the AFCA poll since its inception in 2000.
In the polls recognized by Division II as the top rating system, the Lions have been recognized as a nationally ranked team 95 times since joining Division II in 1981. This is the second-ever Division II No. 1 ranking for the Lions, with the other coming after last year's national championship victory.

Norwalk Center Task Force mulls tougher blight ordinance
By ROBERT KOCH
Published 4:01 pm EST, Monday, November 10, 2014
NORWALK -- The chairwoman of the Norwalk Center Task Force on Monday evening held up the town of Fairfield's blight ordinance as worthy consideration in Norwalk.
The ordinance provides for the town to correct blight situations, bill the property owner and place a lien on the property if the repair bill isn't paid.
If in place in Norwalk, such an ordinance might have prevented the building at 45 Wall St. from remaining unrepaired four years after it was gutted by fire, according to task force Chairwoman Jackie Lightfield.
"Shoring up the building to prevent it from further deterioration. Then the question becomes, is the property owner going to respond to paying for the city to come in to shore it up?" said Lightfield, also former chairwoman of the Norwalk Zoning Commission. "And if they're not, then we can proceed down that (eminent domain) path."
Her comments came in response to an assessment by fellow task force member Michael D. McGuire.
"The only thing that will save that building (at 45 Wall St.) right now is a historic preservation tax credit deal," said McGuire, who owns and renovated the building at nearby 64 Wall St.
During their meeting at the Norwalk 2.0 Community Space at 5 Wall St. early Monday evening, Lightfield, McGuire and other Norwalk Center Task Force members discussed more broadly whether the city should adopt a commercial blight ordinance.
In August 2013, the Norwalk Common Council adopted a blight ordinance addressing residential properties. The ordinance defines housing blight as "any condition which poses a serious or immediate danger to the health or safety of any citizen."
The Fairfield blight ordinance, enacted in 2009, targets properties that are in "disrepair" or "dilapidated," and doesn't distinguish between residential and commercial buildings.
Blighted conditions include broken or boarded windows or doors, collapsing or missing walls or roofing, rodent or pest infestation, excessive garbage, and abandoned or unregistered vehicles.
The town's first selectman is designated as the town's blight officer, but the fire marshal and health director also are charged with enforcing the ordinance.
While the Fairfield ordinance doesn't provide for eminent domain, Lightfield said, Norwalk can place a lien on properties for unpaid taxes and unpaid properties can land in the city's tax sales.
"The end goal in mind is that property owners should not be allowed to create slums by neglect. Therefore, they will lose their properties first before it gets to that point," Lightfield said. "This is the mechanism to get it to that point."
She later told The Hour that the city should use eminent domain "as part of its tool box" but added that eminent domain should not be part of a blight ordinance.
In August 2010, a fire gutted the building owned by Wall Street Associates, LLC, at 45 Wall St.
Removal of debris and abatement work started in September 2013, but such work has all but ceased, according to McGuire.
"I think this building needs to be grabbed and grabbed very quickly, or it's going to be so structurally compromised it's going to have to come down," McGuire said. "If it comes down, then what are we left with there?"
Ganga Duleep of Wall Street Associates said earlier Monday that she recently received a state permit to remove the roof of the building.
"We have now received the last permit from the state. We can now remove the roof and put a new roof on," Duleep said. "We have a building contractor, we have a permit; he has applied for having a Dumpster. We have been doing work inside (although) it is not visible."
Duleep added, however, that TD Bank, the financial institution holding her mortgage, hasn't released the second portion of her insurance money to rebuild the building.
Lightfield, meanwhile, plans to present the Fairfield blight ordinance to members of the Norwalk Common Council's Ordinance Committee for consideration at the committee's next meeting.

Q: Why suddenly can't find module? I have two files in the same folder, Eval.hs and Data.hs, module in Eval.hs imports module TI.Data in Data.hs, when I try to load Eval.hs in the interactive (in emacs haskell mode: Ctrl-c, Ctrl l), it said it can't find the module defined in Data.hs, but it loaded successfully before, why suddenly it can't??
btw, I noticed that the first time I execute Ctrl-c, Ctrl l, the interative window:
GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :cd ~/.cabal/
Prelude> :load "../hs/TI/Eval.hs"

../hs/TI/Eval.hs:2:7:
    Could not find module `TI.Data':
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Failed, modules loaded: none.

A: I sometimes have this same problem with haskell-mode on Emacs. My workaround is to
Prelude> :cd ~/hs/TI
Prelude> :load "Eval.hs"

Now when you want to reload the module you have to use
Prelude> :r

instead of Ctrl-C, Ctrl-l.
If someone knows a better way, please let me know.
-deech

A: Try:
Prelude> :cd ~/hs
Prelude> :load "TI/Eval.hs"

If the modules are actually like Subdirectory.Contains.A then the working directory needs to be the directory Subdirectory.

A: try adding
(inferior-haskell-find-project-root nil)

to your custom set variables.  It will no longer :cd.
a much better solution would be finding out why the function in inf-haskell.el doesn't quite work

A: Simply run
:set -isrc -imyothersrcdir

To add any source directories. You can put this line in a .ghci file in the directory from which you run GHCi.
Alternatively just use cabal repl which does this for you based on your cabal file.

BOD Announcement - State of the Organization - Georgia Kayak Fishing, Inc.
What is GKF All About?
GKF is a non-profit, social club promoting the sport of kayak fishing thru activities – camping, recreational kayak fishing, competitive fishing & seminars across GA. The Mission of Georgia Kayak Fishing, Inc. is to foster and promote recreational kayaking and kayak fishing within the state of Georgia and throughout the Southeast. GKF, Inc. encourages and supports social and environmental responsibility toward the lakes, rivers, seashore and other natural resources in and around Georgia. For those interested, we're are classified by the IRS as a 501(c)4 Organization and a true legal entity.
What's Going on with Georgia Kayak Fishing Summer of 2016?
Recently, 3 board members decided to step down from the GKF Board of Directors. Some Board Members felt that Tournaments took priority over all; maybe because tourney's are very popular, maybe because they generate lots of money or possibly out of passion for competitive bass fishing. Others felt that as a legal Non Profit Organization, it was the GKF Board of Director's responsibility to prioritize GKF Membership, communicate direction to members, provide VALUE to paying membership and contribute to worthy charity at season's end while fulfilling our requirements as a non-profit organization.
An impas was reached mid May when a call to address membership value was repeatedly made by some, yet not addressed by all. At which point the decision had to be made between compromise, and stepping down. Compromise was not an option for those that stepped down and are now starting their own tournament trail / club to forward their goals. We wish them the very best of luck in their new venture and hold zero ill will towards these individuals, or their newly formed club / tournament trail, or anyone who has taken sides in this. There's a lot of water out there Folks and we can all enjoy it together! We are also very excited about GKF's renewed dedication to community and membership growth. This initiative will ensure that money generated from GKF Membership and GKF Events, is actually used in accordance with the GKF Inc Constitution.
What is GKF… A Tournament trail? Or a Kayak Fishing Club? Georgia Kayak Fishing Inc, by our Articles of Incorporation, was founded "for the benefit of it's members and the promotion of kayak fishing." We are very much, and always will be, a kayak fishing club first. Tournaments are just one of the fun activities GKF hosts and participates in. Should other for profit organizations decide that our values of community and membership do not meet their needs or fill their rosters, they are welcome to disassociate from GKF as some have done. The reality is, Georgia Kayak Fishing Inc is the largest kayak fishing club in the state of Georgia. And we will work for continued growth of the GKF Community, the Sport of Kayak Fishing, both recreational and competitive, and hosting of some of the best kayak fishing events in the state of Georgia.
3) Huge Members Only Raffle at Season End Annual Meeting (October 22nd 2016, Medlock Tavern Norcross) – Event turnout and membership growth throughout the year will significantly increase Raffle Size that pays back to GKF MEMBERS. Even halfway through 2016, we can tell you this will be one of the largest valued kayak fishing raffles in the state of Georgia.
5) We will be publicly declaring a pledge of support to a worthy Charity. And we will do so at the beginning of every season moving forward.
6) After operational expenses, 50% of GKF Yearly Gross Revenue will go to designated Charity for the Season, 50% will go to Tournament Prizes and Annual Meeting Members Only Raffle (along with Sponsor Donations). And we will make steps to once again become a "open book company".
7) GKF wants to become a more transparent organization! We want members to know that their club contribution benefits the GKF Member Base, help to develop the club and makes a difference in a worthy charity.
What's going to happen to GKF Tournaments?
With the exception of our scheduled online tournament, all GKF Tournaments are a GO as scheduled on our website. GKF will have tournaments next year, and the year after and so on. However, tourneys will never take priority over Membership Benefits or our contribution to a charitable cause. Unfortunately for 2016, recently departed Board Members have swayed decisions of previous GKF Partner Tournament Trails to drop GKF Events from State Championship qualification over this riff. The good news is, our ex-GKF Board Members have decided to carry on their passion for tournament bass fishing with their own new tournament trail, intended to take the place of ours and they plan to carry over GKF points earned through 2016 tournaments so GKF Anglers can still qualify for the state championship. In addition, we are working to obtain sponsor merchandise from ex-board members that had been pledged and donated to GKF for 2016 by sponsors. The great news is, many sponsors and members are already answering the call of support. So GKF Tournaments will still offer some awesome prizes and cash payouts in the 2016 season and beyond! A huge "Thank You" goes out to all individuals and businesses who have and will stand behind GKF.
Georgia Kayak Fishing, Inc. strictly prohibits the use of our intellectual property, membership information, donated product or any other asset acquired or used through GKF business operations, to be utilized by those not affiliated with GKF, or for profit/benefit of any 3rd party group or organization for which GKF Permission of Use is not granted. If such situation comes to light, swift legal action will be taken.

The Forgotten Clint Eastwood Western That's Heating Up On Netflix
By C.M. Crockford/Aug. 24, 2021 2:34 pm EST
Both as a director and actor, one of Clint Eastwood's ambitions has always been to interrogate the myths of the Old West, messing with the "lone rider" image he created in his early Westerns like "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly." Films like "High Plains Drifter" and "Hang 'Em High" made a point of questioning the conservative ideology of American politics, even if Eastwood still got to look tough and pull a pistol when necessary.
One of his best, most subversive films of this period is "The Outlaw Josey Wales," a 1976 actioner. It's one of the few critically acclaimed and financially successful Westerns of the period, as the genre was seen as in decline.
Eastwood directs and stars as the title character, an ex-Confederate guerilla who becomes an outlaw after the end of the war. Pursued by Union soldiers and bounty hunters, Wales only wants to be left alone but accidentally picks up several traveling companions, and in the process starts an odd found family of sorts.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of Eastwood's best movies
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" was co-written by Sonia Chersus and Phil Kaufman, the latter of whom was the original director until Eastwood infamously fired him and took over the production. The debacle caused the Director's Guild of America to install the "Eastwood rule" thereafter: No one involved with a production can just get the director fired and take their job.
The result, whether because of Eastwood's considerable directing abilities or a brilliant script that wrestles mostly successfully with some dense Civil War politics, is still a pretty great movie. Eastwood smartly focuses on Wales not as some symbol of noble Confederates but as a man exhausted by war who wants to live in peace. By the end of the movie, the character isn't a lone warrior anymore but has built a life with friends and family — the opposite of the traditional Western hero seen in "The Searchers" and "Shane."
Eastwood said in 2011 that he always intended "Josey Wales" to be an anti-war Western: "As for Josey Wales, I saw the parallels to the modern day at that time. Everybody gets tired of it, but it never ends." (Wall Street Journal)
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" is currently streaming on Netflix if you want to see one of Eastwood's great 70s Westerns for yourself.

Hello everyone. My name is Bronwyn and I blog over at Queen B Creative Me.
I am so excited to be sharing a project here at Twelve O Eight.
what the kids and I put together as thank-you gifts for their teachers.
and I set out to make some Simple Stitched Cards for each of the kids' teachers.
We started with some card stock cards – these measured 4″x6″.
I let my daughter pick a few pages of pretty scrapbook paper.
Construction or wrapping paper would work for this, too.
heart-shape from the patterned paper.
so that you don't poke holes into your table!
with 6 strands of embroidery floss. Thin yarn would work for this as well.
It took her less than 5 minutes to do each heart.
we glued each heart to a card, slightly left of center.
you could print your own text.
My daughter and I were so pleased with how the cards turned out.
The teachers who received them were full of compliments, too.
Now what did we give the teachers as their actual gifts?
have seems to be broken so I cannot send you to the originator of this idea.
I am pleased to say that the teachers ADORED their gifts. Who can blame them?
That's my kind of gift, too!
I'd love to have you!!
a fun and thoughtful gift with us!
friend who is moving or a mom to be.
for tons of crafty goodness and inspiration!!!
Such a cute idea, Tanya.
Adorable cards and a cute idea for a teacher gift too! Great job Bronwyn!
Makes we wish I had small kids to make teacher gifts for, how amazingly adorable. Maybe I should make some of these to sell for Mom's that don't have time. would be fun to make. Great project kiddo.
And i am glad studying your article. But should observation on some common things, The website style is great, the articles is actually excellent : D.

During the Bimblebox artist residency I explored the beauty and diversity of the flora found in the Heathlands region of the Bimblebox Nature Refuge. Having previously only seen this diversity represented as text on paper prior to my visit, I was captivated by the physical aesthetic of the area.
I collected a number of flora specimens from the Heathlands: storing each specimen in a plastic vial for identification, documentation and visual interpretation upon my return to the studio. Through this process I began to reflect upon the contrast between 'text' and 'image'; exploring how our connection to the aesthetic, both visual and written, informs our ecological discourse.
REsource examines this aesthetic, reflecting on the fragile nature and beauty of the specimens captured within each vial contrasted with the physical flora file cards in order to elicit thoughts regarding the perceived value of our natural resources, in particular those found at Bimblebox Nature Refuge.
Are these specimens to become a document of what once was, or will they become a resource for our future?
Those unbelievable, unexpected heathlands in the midst of the semi-arid woodlands, so perfect, so vital, so incredible that we could even imagine destroying it. Thank you, Donna and Jill for sharing work here!


We use an open source content management system (CMS) - Drupal to develop simple to advanced websites. We use Drupal because it helps lower your development cost and time to market while making content publishing easier and faster.
My open source CMS preference and web application framework is Drupal. So I focus a lot on Drupal Module Development, Drupal Consulting, Drupal Template Design, and Drupal Implementation as well as on migrating content from older websites, CMS's, or other sources to Drupal. QuickStudy: Drupal: This open-source content management system offers a flexible way to build and organize Web sites, from Computerworld.
Here is a list of other open source content management systems (CMS), from wikipedia.
From Packt Publishing, "The Open Source Awards is an annual online event held by Packt Publishing to distinguish excellence among Open Source projects.
Now in its fifth year, the Award, formerly known as the Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award, is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward not only CMSes but a wider range of Open Source projects." They also have a list of open source cms previous winners.
Here is a list of open source cms's that individule users have voted on. I am not sure how accurate it is but at least you know what is out there.
Open Source CMS - What is it?
Open source CMS's have been around for several years and provide a framework or the so-called plumbing so that we do not have to re-invent things for every new website. This information is from Wikipedia and helps to answer the question, What is a content management system?
Once content is separated from the visual presentation of a site, it usually becomes much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate. Most open source CMS software includes WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content.
Most open source CMS software includes plug-ins or modules (Drupal has 100's of modules to extend the basic functionality) that can be easily installed to extend an existing site's functionality.
Active open source CMS software usually receives regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards.
Some open source CMS software allows for various user groups to have limited privileges over specific content on the website, spreading out the responsibility of content management.
Open source CMS software may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction.
Open source CMS software may provide a means of allowing each user to work within a virtual copy of the entire Web site, document set, and/or code base. This enables changes to multiple interdependent resources to be viewed and/or executed in-context prior to submission.
Our services are built around open source CMS, Drupal Consulting, and Drupal design. The services are intended for any size business, non-profit, school, or government agency in New York City and New Jersey. We stay local because we think face-to-face meetings works better for meeting our customers goals. Call 973.433.4007 to learn more.

This is the latest version of this item.
This paper discusses the key findings of an investigation of e-learning computer systems and the establishment of a technology framework for a new generation of e-learning applications. The paper initially reviews an e-learning system case study (a core university and a number of associated institutions named Global Campus) which incorporates: (i) the infrastructure of the Global Campus programme reviewed in light of studies on attitudes towards learning, patterns of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) use, computer-assisted assessment and learning tasks and patterns of communication, and (ii) an e-learning environment based on the WebCT technology for delivery and assessment. Results of four earlier studies regarding (i) distance education, (ii) patterns of use of the VLE (iii) communication patterns in e-learning and (iv) computer- assisted assessment are also critically reviewed. Conclusively, a set of guidelines for a technology framework are suggested and the authors' perspectives for the classification and the evolution of e-learning applications is provided.

Ricardo María Carles Gordó (Valencia, 24 september 1926 – Tortosa, 17 december 2013) was een Spaans geestelijke en kardinaal van de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk.

The "Get Transcript Online" and "Get Transcript by Mail" services have both been offline since at least the beginning of the week. NASFAA reached out to federal officials on Monday, but has been unable to determine whether these system outages are casualties of the federal shutdown or truly just part of a larger system maintenance issue. Additional services that require IRS staff processing will most certainly be delayed, if not discontinued, until Congress and the President reach an agreement to fund government operations. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) continues to function, according to ED officials.
At the Federal Student Aid conference in November, ED announced that copies of tax returns and written statements of non-filing would be acceptable for verification purposes in lieu of IRS tax return transcripts and verification of non-filing forms, respectively. To reduce the impact of the IRS shutdown on students, families, and schools, NASFAA has urged ED to release written guidance as soon as possible.
OK, it's not often that we have breaking news in the financial aid world, but we do, and it's good news. ED has published guidelines (despite, I suppose, not getting paid) at https://ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/010919Chngsto1819and1920VerificationReq.html...we can accept good old fashioned copies of tax returns.
Thank you to our friends at ED. We're all thinking of you, we know that life can't be easy right now.
It is not just the normal IRS transcript request services that are down. The IVES, the IRS's pay-as-you-go system, has also been down (although, I did read something on yesterday's FA-listserv that it may be back up). I've been unable to fax my school's IVES requests since Christmas (the IVES fax line had busy signal). Considering the time, expense, and just general inconvenience to all parties involved due to these disruptions (and, here, I use the plural because this happened before with the IRS DRT outage of the 2017-18 award year), maybe ED should just allow schools to permanently collect signed tax returns again, and relegate the request for IRS transcripts as optional/school discretion.
What particularly exasperates me is this sudden revelation by IRS/ED that the Get Transcript option is down for "scheduled annual maintenance" and will be available once again on January 14. A two-week period of scheduled annual maintenance? Who received advanced warning of this? The first I read about the "scheduled maintenance" claim was in a blurb in Politico Morning Education yesterday. That same newsletter said that Get Transcript has been down since late last month, thus the maintenance requires MORE than two weeks. There's no excuse for not having shared this information far in advance if it was scheduled maintenance and not an unexpected service interruption. Even if related to the shutdown, that's information that could have been shared. It's completely unacceptable, and I smell a rat.
I don't know David S but I agree and that was hilarious...I needed to laugh, thanks!
OK, so does the announcement made at FSA constitute official guidance on allowing tax returns in lieu of transcripts? Or is it not official until we have a Dear Colleague letter? I mean, we apparently have federal policy established by 6am caps-lock rage tweets, does that not establish new (much lower) standards? And while I'm being snarky, I'm also being serious (because I can multitask).


20 June 2017 at the CIS Institute in Moscow a round table was held, titled "The Political and Socio-Economic Impact of the Association Agreement of Ukraine with the European Union." The event was organized with the support the Center for Eurasian Studies (CES). Jurij Kofner, director, CES, research assistant, IIASA (Vienna, Austria) via video-bridge gave a report, titled "Ukraine between the EU and the EAEU. Quo vadis Kiev?".
During the scientific round table the researchers discussed such issues as: the specificity of the socio-economic situation in Ukraine in the context of the ratification of the Association Agreement with the EU; the current state of the market of energy resources and the prospects for the inclusion of the Ukrainian economy in new energy trade; the prospects for further development of political and socio-economic relations between Ukraine and the EU; the degree of influence of the EU on the internal policy of Ukraine as a result of the ratification of the Association Agreement.
Jurij Kofner in his report described the missed opportunities for Ukraine of cooperation with the EAEU, that could have brought a significant growth of high-tech industry and an increase in the Ukranian GDP. Furthermore, based on the findings of leading German (Ifo-Institute) and Austrian (IIASA, wiiw) research institutes, he named all the negative egative conditions andimpacts from the EU-Ukraine DCFTA, i.e. reducing the level of trade in connection with non-compliance to European standards, de-industrialization of the country and a significant outflow of the Ukranian labor force to richer EU countries.
According to the opnion of an overwhelming number of economists from Germany, Austria and Russia, the next most profitable option for Ukraine at this point would be the renewal of cooperation with CIS FTA within a "Lisbon to Vladivostok" common economic space, since after the signing of the EU AA the best option (i.e. becoming an EAEU Member-State) unfortunately became impossible.

Q: column <> 1 returns False on NULL values I have two tables. offers and offer_status. I want to return rows from offers where the offer_status row is either missing or the disabled column in that table is 0.
Here is how I tried to do it:
SELECT offers.id,network,campid,name,url FROM offers
LEFT JOIN offer_status ON offers.id = offer_status.sql_id
AND offer_status.user_id='3'
WHERE country='US'

AND offer_status.disabled != '1'

ORDER BY epc DESC LIMIT 7

However, this does not work if the row in offer_status does not exist (and the JOIN fails). To me, it seems like it should still work though since offer_status.disabled is null.
This DOES work:
SELECT offers.id,network,campid,name,url FROM offers
LEFT JOIN offer_status ON offers.id = offer_status.sql_id
AND offer_status.user_id='3'
WHERE country='US'

AND (offer_status.disabled IS NULL OR offer_status.disabled=0)

ORDER BY epc DESC LIMIT 7

But to me this seems worse preformance-wise, and I am still disappointed my original thought didn't work.
Is the OR statement above the only way to do this? Is there a better method?

A: SQL logic is a tristate logic with states TRUE, FALSE and UNKNOWN.  The WHERE clause selects rows where the condition evaluates to TRUE.
If you compare a NULL value with any non-null value, you get the third logic state, UNKNOWN (not FALSE as claimed in your title).  This is not the same as TRUE, so the rows where a condition evaluates to UNKNOWN are not selected.
You can use the explicit IS NULL test to check for nullness.
AND (offer_status.disabled != '1' OR offer_status.disabled IS NULL)

Note the extra parentheses for safety, clarity and accuracy.
If this is too much of a performance hit, enforce a NOT NULL constraint on the offer_status.disabled column, and then you do not have to fiddle around with the IS NULL test or OR'd conditions.  Generally, every column that possibly can be NOT NULL should be NOT NULL; it makes your database much easier to work with.

Note that if offer_status.disabled is NULL, then:
WHERE offer_status.disabled  = '1' -- evaluates to UNKNOWN and the row is not selected
WHERE offer_status.disabled != '1' -- evaluates to UNKNOWN and the row is not selected

This is the difference between the incorrect 'comparison with NULL returns FALSE' as claimed in the title and the actual behaviour of 'comparison with NULL returns UNKNOWN'.

A: Comparing NULL (using =, <>, <, > etc) with another value yields NULL. And NULL is neither true, nor false. Secondly, in order to satisfy the WHERE clause, the condition must evaluate to true.
So, your second query is in fact the correct way to go.
For the sake of completeness, it is possible (but not recommended) to rewrite your query using functions such as IF and IFNULL, for example:
WHERE IFNULL(offer_status.disabled, 0) = 0

A: Quoting from MySQL document:

If one or both arguments are NULL, the result of the comparison is
  NULL, except for the NULL-safe <=> equality comparison operator. For
  NULL <=> NULL, the result is true.

So I think yes, (disabled IS NULL OR disabled=0) is necessary.

Taryn's Story
Taryn Woods won a gold medal for Australia in women's water polo at Sydney 2000. From New South Wales, Woods is a member of one of Australia's most respected water polo families: her father David (1972, 1976) and brother Gavin (2000, 2004) are both dual Olympians in the sport. As well, Woods' cousin, Bronwyn Mayer, was a team-mate on the Olympic team. Playing in her hometown, Woods revelled in the atmosphere of the first Olympic women's water polo tournament. Australia won four of its five preliminary round games, then scored two goals in the final 90 seconds of its semi-final against Russia to win 7-6. The gold medal final was even more dramatic, with the team beating the United States 4-3 on a goal with 1.3 seconds remaining by Yvette Higgins.

Penalty Save Was Key
Young Garratt earns MOM Accolade for Performance
Steve Davis was full of praise for his young goalkeeper Ben Garratt after his fantastic penalty save proved decisive in last night's 2-0 win over MK Dons. Garratt guessed right to save Shaun Williams' spot kick with the Alex leading 1-0 at the time and his heroics later saw him named man-of-the-match by the club's supporters group.
Davis was understandably disappointed with the penalty award in the first place after the ball seemed dropped rapidly from a flick on at a corner and into the mid-drift of a helpless Matt Tootle.
After the game, the Alex boss said: "I was disappointed with the penalty decision. I think their centre-back got a touch on it and it has dropped and hit Toots on this thigh more than anything. I don't think it has hit his hand or arm and it certainly wasn't deliberate.
"I don't think the referee could have seen it from where he was anyway. He would have been unsighted from the edge of the box because there was a lot of players' inside the penalty area.
"The referee gave a contentious penalty when we played Bournemouth here last season so I told the players to be careful. I told them to expect something at either end and told them to make sure it wasn't against us, but he has given them a soft penalty.
"It was a fantastic save by Ben. The analyst gave him the information so we had some idea where Williams puts them and it paid off. We were delighted for him because he is a young lad trying to find his feet in the game and it will give him some confidence. I thought he had a decent game."

Appetite and Attitude: A Conversation with Lance Mackey
In 2008 Northern Light Media produced the documentary Appetite and Attitude: A Conversation with Lance Mackey, about the world's preeminent long distance sled dog racer, who made racing history when he won two 1,000 mile races back-to-back, the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod, with most of the same dogs – an incredible feat of endurance, long considered almost impossible, which changed how mushers think about what their dogs are capable of achieving. Lance then went on to win both races a total of four times each, including an unprecedented four straight Iditarod wins: 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. He is truly one of the greatest mushers who ever lived.
An excerpt from an early review of this DVD said, "For die hard Lance fans, like myself, its mesmerizing. He is amazingly candid and open. He offers up insights about the sport that few of us would imagine. He tells us a lot about his own thinking and how he processes observations of dog and musher behaviors." -Sarida Steed-Bradley, Texas
Larry, by Northern Light Media
Lance's indomitable lead dog, Larry, is the only dog in the world to win the coveted Golden Harness Award from both of these grueling races. For his achievements Lance was nominated for a 2007 ESPY – Excellence in Sports Performance Award, and in 2008 he was named Sports Illustrated's#2 Toughest Athlete in the World.
Lance, a cancer survivor, comes from a family of sled dog racing champions. His father Dick Mackey helped create the world's most famous race, the 1,049 mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, in 1973. Five years later his father won the race by one second in a world-famous photo finish.
Lance makes his home – Comeback Kennels – near Fairbanks, Alaska. In this video Lance talks about his dogs, his races, his family legacy and his dreams for the future! Videography by Donna Quante (producer of Pretty Sled Dogs and other videos) brings a professional touch to this very special video.

Feature Article, In Conversation, Interviews June 27, 2019
In Conversation: Gershwyn Eustache Jnr and Leah Harvey
By Hayley Malouin
Leah Harvey and CJ Beckford in Small Island. Photo by Brinkhoff Moegenburg.
In April 2018, UK newspaper The Guardian began a months-long series on the unlawful detaining, deporting, and threatening of Caribbean-born British citizens by the British Home Office, and the violation of their constitutional and human rights. Named the "Windrush scandal"—after the Empire Windrush, the ship that brought the first groups of West Indian migrants to the UK in the late '40s, and those thereafter called the "Windrush generation"—it exposed the dangerous levels of power possessed by the Home Office, and the systemic failures of justice therein.
Now, just over a year later, and as the ripples of the Windrush scandal still reverberate through the UK and elsewhere, London's National Theatre premieres Small Island, adapted by Helen Edmundson from British-Jamaican novelist Andrea Levy's 2004 novel of the same name, about the journey undertaken by Jamaican British subjects, and their tumultuous welcome in the UK. With Small Island being broadcast by National Theatre Live in partnership with Cineplex Odeon on June 27, now Toronto audiences will also have a chance to catch this highly celebrated production in (movie) theatres.
Below, Small Island principal actors Gershwyn Eustache Jnr (Gilbert) and Leah Harvey (Hortense) reflect on their characters, the legacy of the Windrush generation, and what cinema audiences can expect from Small Island.
On the most important things for a cinema audience to take away from Small Island
GE: I hope they enjoy the show and laugh but I also hope they take away how tough things were back then for that generation. Also, an open-mindedness. People aren't always looking to "take what's yours." The characters in the show just want the opportunity to make the best for themselves and their own.
LH: This is an epic tale told on a big stage by over 40 actors. Naturally, you can miss the little details if you're sitting in the audience in the theatre. But, being able to see it from this point of view will give us a chance to see the nuances of the characters and little gems of storytelling. Hopefully the audience will feel more connected to those sitting next to them by the end!

On the difference between acting for the stage and acting for "the-stage-that-is-being-filmed"
LH: We don't change anything about our performance. It's about giving the audience as close an experience of what it's like to be in theatre as possible. There may be some changes for things like make-up—for example I have quite rosy cheeks in the theatre so the people far away can see my expressions, but we've toned that down a bit for the cameras because it just wouldn't look right. But other than that, what you see in the cinema is what the audience in the auditorium that night is seeing.
GE: During the first camera rehearsal I was a little conscious about looking/not looking at the camera while directly addressing the audience, but you realise the NT Live team really do the work for us and we don't have to change anything we do from night to night when the cameras aren't in. There's a lot of preparation that goes on in the run up to a broadcast. The camera director and the crew watch the show in the theatre and via a recording so they can plan their angles. Then we have two camera rehearsals, and there'll also be a playback after the first so they can tweak anything they need to.

On what the UK represents for Hortense and Gilbert, and how that changes throughout the play
LH: For Hortense, the UK represents a better life. Her mother gave her away when she was young to try and give her that, so that's instilled in her from a young age. She has an idealistic view of London, that she'll move there and her life will be great, and she'll be a teacher like she was in Jamaica—but of course, it's not that simple. She's not treated the same way she was in Jamaica and she has to struggle with the idea that it might not be the life she dreamed of.
GE: For Gilbert (like Hortense) the UK represents a better life, as it did for most people who came over on the Windrush. The difference between Gilbert and Hortense's view of the UK is that he had been there before they move to London because of his RAF (Royal Air Force) service. He knows what to expect – he's seen the bad weather, pretty terrible living conditions, and the racism. But he still sees the UK as somewhere he can make a better life than he could back home, so he keeps going. He's an optimist for sure but you see later in the story how it starts to wear him down. Every human, even if it's more than most others, has a limit of how long they can keep battling adversities, and we see Gilbert reach his limit.

On how the legacy of the injustices carried out against the Windrush generation and their descendants affected the creation and rehearsal process
GE: For me playing Gilbert, I wanted to make sure he wasn't a caricature. He's my dad, uncle, neighbour, etc. I wanted to do him—and the people he represents—justice and show what actually happened as honestly as possible. We had a visitor during rehearsals called Alford Gardner who was a passenger on the Windrush who is now 93 and he really inspired us all. He is Gilbert. His life, energy, spirit, and his dignity showed me even more what my character was about. They made very brave decisions to leave home.
LH: A lot of us in the cast have family members who were alive during the Windrush era, so it was always present, and we wanted to make sure we represented them well. We did a lot of research, including visits to the Black Cultural Archive to look at photos and other artefacts. We also had a picture of (Small Island author) Andrea Levy and her mother on the wall of the rehearsal room, and which is now by the stage, so they've been with us the whole time in spirit.
On what Small Island can say from the stage and screen in this current moment of escalating xenophobia and anti-immigration sentiment
LH: In London theatres at the moment, we're seeing stories on the stages with people and by people who have never had that platform before. The fact that London theatre is so successful right now (last year was a record year for box offices) shows that the interest is there for those stories and that they can be successful. There's a real energy in the room every night, which just shows how relevant it is. I certainly feel like we need to hold on to each other in this current political and social climate. Hopefully this play helps us see the things we have in common rather than how we are different!
GE: I think it's important that this story is getting a moment, and that moment is happening in one of the UK's biggest theatres. It shouldn't ever be forgotten what this generation of people contributed to this country, and how badly they've been treated since. The show sold out here at the National Theatre not long after press night, which shows people want to see these types of stories and they have a rightful place amongst any other play or production.

On why it's important for audiences in Canada to see Small Island
GE: You don't have to be British or Jamaican to take something from it. It's an important piece of work, it doesn't hold back, and though it's a tough watch in parts, you'll also laugh. The response from the audiences has shown us that you don't know what will trigger a particular emotion in someone watching this show, which is a real testament to the work. I also have family in Canada so means a lot to me that they will be able to see it.
LH: I think it's important for anyone and everyone to see it. I think everyone can find something in it, even if it's just one second. There's something that applies to everyone in this show.

These twelve songs have been gathered to accompany the publication of the book HAWAIIAN SON: The Life and Music of Eddie Kamae. Selected from classic albums recorded by The Sons of Hawai'i, they represent the music that has shaped Eddie's fifty-year career as singer, composer, arranger, band leader, and 'ukulele virtuoso. several, for example, were composed by Queen Liliuokalani, who first inspired him. Ke Ala a Ka Jeep was written with his influential teacher, Mary Kawena Pukui, after a historic pilgrimage to the Big Island's South Point in 1969. Wapi'o Valley Song was written with his spiritual father, Sam Li'a Kalainaina, to commemorate a visit to Sam's birthplace in 1969, a trip that would take Eddie to the source of Hawaiian music.

Despite their differing styles these two works belong together in one review because the authors -- one a northern Negro and the other a southern-born white – both use data dug directly from the lives of the people, write compassionately and sometimes fervently from inside the problem and yet – with some exceptions – are soundly objective in prescribing solutions.
No one in the United States is better qualified than Kenneth B. Clark to write about the agony, the corroding injustices and the social dynamics of the ghetto. Since 1942 a professor of psychology at the College of the City of New York, Dr. Clark is able to diagnose the pathology of the ghetto not only with theoretical accuracy but also out of his personal involvement in Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (Har-you). Clark knows the ghetto: "its inconsistencies, its contradictions, its paradoxes, its ironies, its comic and its tragic forces, and its desperate surge for life. And above all … its humanity." And with sometimes shocking, always powerful language he takes the outsider into the ghetto and there baptizes him in the shame and glory, the despair and hope in which the people are immersed. It was my privilege to read this book both before and after the riots in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Springfield, Massachusetts. What happened in these cities would not have happened if the white lords of Negro ghettos had read and heeded Clark's compelling analysis.
Dark Ghetto is packed with so many helpful psychological insights and such a wealth of valuable sociological data that specific comment seems impertinent. Nevertheless I must mention as particularly valuable to me the author's description of the debilitating role of ________ in Negro ghettos and the consequent distortion of the masculine image, his revealing comparison and contrast of the philosophies and programs of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Black Nationalists, his analysis of the tensions existing between middle class and lower class Negroes, his forceful use of the personal testimony of addicts in depicting the "menacing and insidious problem of drug addiction." Clark is at his best – though there is not a dull page when he exposes the psychological subtleties buried in sociological facts.
___________________________ gra ________________ and the ________________________________ of the tensions existing between middle class and lower class Negroes, his forceful use of the personal testimony of addicts in depicting the "menacing and insidious problem of drug addiction." Clark is at his best – though there is not a dull page – when he exposes the psychological subtleties buried in sociological facts.
The white reader of Dark Ghetto should deliberately slow down the pace of his reading when he comes to those passages in which Clark turns the white liberal inside out. For he will see coming toward him in these pages one "who struggles to reconcile his affirmation of racial justice with his visceral racism." The encounter is not pleasant but painful, like catching a glimpse of one's real self in an unexpected mirror.
The weakness of this book – if it can be said to have one – is coherent with its strength. Let me illustrate. The author states that the ghetto is governed by two rules: "One basic rule is to present to the hostile white world a single voice of protest and rebellion … Another basic rule is that no issue can take precedence over the basic issue of race and specifically, of racial oppression." As a psychologist and a sociologist Clark knows the fallacy of these rules. He knows the need for reason, logic, objectivity, the middle ground, the balanced view. He writes powerfully, helpfully, convincingly because, whatever his own personal circumstances, he remains spiritually a prisoner of the ghetto, of its rules and of the fallacy of those rules. He can speak to us because – as Gunnar Myrdal puts it in the foreword – he knows "how it feels to be enclosed in segregation." I would not, feeling immensely indebted to Clark, have it otherwise. I would ask of him and of Negroes to whom "liberal" has become a bad word that they remember one fact. The white man cannot become a Negro. He, too, is the prisoner of a racial ghetto and will not be able to escape entirely from the rules and fallacies of his ghetto's mentality. From my reading of Dark Ghetto I would trust Clark – even where I disagree with him in minor part – to understand this dilemma as well as it can be understood by Negro or white.
Robert Penn Warren spent many days and many miles putting a tape recorder before numerous Negroes in the eastern and southeastern parts of the United States and letting them speak for themselves. What they said he captured and faithfully transcribed. If you want to know what the Negro thinks (Make it plural to be more accurate) this book tells you as well as words can do it. As Warren says, Who Speaks for the Negro? is not a Who's Who of the Negro revolution; yet there are few Negro leaders in any field who are not quoted here. And between the great and the near-great, the famous and the well known appear the obscure little people relating "the short and simple annals of the poor." Warren serves as the amanuensis for Negroes as they write their daily journal.
Of course, he does more than that. Through what would otherwise be disjoined dialogues, he shoots two threads of continuity. Warren keeps asking the same basic questions over and over as he moves from one interviewee to another, and he gets a surprising variety of answers. And he ties the interviews together with snatches of history and biography and with sometimes short, sometimes long analyses of historical and current events. This is a delightfully intriguing and effective if not novel device. Put all of this together and you have in the end – however smoothly and interestingly it reads – not merely a literary work but a profound psychological and sociological ________ I hazard the guess that if one knew nothing at all about the racial problem in the United States, a study of this book in its entirety would bring him up to date.
Two good books on the racial struggle – two of the best.

Q: cross correlation of more than two files in python I have a large numerical data and I must split it into 100 files and then compute C(i,j) = 〈x(ti)x(tj)〉. To  this  end, I  must  do  the  averaging  on  the  100  data  sets and make a matrix and plot it as a density plot.
So what I have done is:
import numpy as np

data = np.loadtxt('data1.txt')
np.split(data, 100)

lines_per_file = 10485
smallfile = None
small_filename_num = 1
with open("data1.txt", "r") as bigfile:
    for lineno, line in enumerate(bigfile):
        if lineno % lines_per_file == 0:
            if smallfile:
                smallfile.close()
            smallfile = open('File%d.txt' %  small_filename_num, "w")
            small_filename_num += 1
        smallfile.write(line)
    if smallfile:
        smallfile.close()

Now I want to calculate the cross correlation but I don't know how.

Ageing, corporeality and social divisions in later life
Gilleard, Chris; Higgs, Paul; (2017) Ageing, corporeality and social divisions in later life. Ageing and Society , 37 (08) pp. 1681-1702. 10.1017/S0144686X16000532.
Higgs_agecorpsoc div.pdf - Accepted Version
This paper concerns the social divisions of later life. Although research in this field has focused on class, gender and, more recently, sexuality as sources of division in later life, the division between the fit and the frail has tended to be ignored or viewed as an outcome of these other divisions. This paper challenges this assumption, arguing that corporeality constitutes a major social division in later life. This in many ways prefigures a return to the 19th-century categorisation of those 'impotent through age', whose position was among the most abject in society. Their 'impotence' was framed by an inability to engage in paid labour. Improved living standards during and after working life saw age's impotence fade in significance and in the immediate post-war era, social concern turned towards the relative poverty of pensioners. Subsequent demographic ageing and the expanding cultures of the third age have undermined the homogeneity of retirement. Frailty has become a major source of social division, separating those who are merely older from those who are too old. This division excludes the 'unsuccessfully' aged from utilising the widening range of material and social goods that characterise the third age. It is this social divide rather than those of past occupation or income that is becoming a more salient line of fracture in later life.
