Q: How to add package to conda environment without pip How can I add a package to an existing conda environment?
If it is a python package I can use pip install <package>, but what if pip does not work?
Is it sufficient to activate the environment and use conda install <package>?

A: You've answered your own question. In fact you really want to do conda install ... instead of using pip if you can.
You can install a conda package also without activating the environment. Just use conda install -n <env_name> <package> or conda install -p <path/to/env> <package>.

A: If you want to install a specific package inside a specific conda environment, you can use the following command.
First activate the conda environment and then do:
$ conda install --name <conda_env_name> -c <channel_name> <package_name>

For a concrete example, let's assume that you want to install chainer from the channel anaconda to an already created conda environment named chainerenv, then you can do:
$ conda install --name chainerenv -c anaconda chainer

A: If you want to install a package in the environment, you can use
conda install -p /path/to/env package

example:
conda install -p /users/dekstop/env-test Django

A: There's an alternative way to do this and I have just tested it on my own mac:
example: i want to install a non-conda package at my python2.7 environment:

*

*go to terminal

*activate the desired environment by: source activate py27

*after you successfully activated the environment, you can install the package you wanted by: pip install package

A: The answer is yes (usually).
  One example is that you can activate your conda environment and then directly do conda install pandas.tar.bz2 on the existing tar.bz2 files from /conda_envs/.pkgs (leftovers from other environments)
If you don't have a tarball package like that but you have the src with setup.py you can just do the usual install by python setup.py install (or python setup.py develop to link the src)

This web page is designed to help those who are preparing for marriage at St. Vladimir's Church. We welcome you to our parish family as a couple! Pre-marital counseling is mandatory at St. Vladimir's. Please contact Fr. Gregory at least 3 months before you plan to wed (6 would be better!) to schedule counseling. The pamphlets on this page are used in pre-marriage counseling at St. Vladimir's. These are NOT meant to be marriage manuals (please don't think if you just follow these "instructions" to the letter you will be the perfect spouse), but rather they are used to help you think – in fact, to force you consider married life and the struggles that come with it. This is not to dissuade you from marriage – on the contrary! Still, it is best to enter into such a significant spiritual relationship with one's eyes open, and these pamphlets are meant to help you do just that. To read a bit about the practical and spiritual aspects of planning a wedding at St. Vladimir's, please click here. Although there aren't any spiritual aspects to the choice of a social gathering following a wedding, this is understandably a concern of the vast majority of those who plan to be wed at St. Vladimir's. Please feel free to discuss this with Fr. Gregory as well. Finally, some people like to have a booklet of the marriage service to hand out to their guests as a souvenir and remembrance of the event. Fr. Gregory can help you to arrange the printing of these if you are interested.
Prayer to Sts. Adrian & Natalia - Usually considered significant patron saints of those who are married - good saints to ask to entreat the Lord for strengthening our marriage bonds or helping with problems.
Do you consider marriage a life-long commitment? Do you understand the Church's teachings in this regard? Do you understand the guidelines on who can and cannot be married in the Church?
Have you discussed children? Do you both want them? Do you want a small family or a large one?
If you have children, will anyone be an at home parent? Which of you? Will you share this responsibility? Will you have a nanny? Will you use day care?
Will the Church be part of your married life? Which parish? Will you make the Church a core or tangential part of this life? Will you be active in your parish? Will you be generous in your stewardship?
What priority will financial considerations have in your life together? Is your outlook here realistic? Can you agree? Can you save money or are you inclined to spend what is in your pocket? Can you live with debt? Do you understand the implications of debt?
Do you like to travel? Do you prefer to spend time at home? How important is home life to you? That is, what is your comfort threshold with your spouse spending significant time away from home and family?
Who will take care of your parents as they age? Will you do so in your home? Can you agree on a plan here?
Is it important for you to own a home or are you happy renting? How important is owning a home if it is important to you?
What is your relationship like with your future in-laws? Can you tolerate them? Does your future spouse know how you feel? How close would you like to live to your future in-laws? Have you considered this question in relation to the time when you have children (having family close at that point in your lives is quite helpful in general)?
Which language will be spoken at home/with children? Can you communicate effectively (from a practical point of view – do you share one language which you can speak well)?

I don't usually look for divine revelation in a bug. Actually, I don't think I ever have. But just the same, today a mosquito brought a deep truth home to me.
On my bedroom wall, close to the ceiling, I saw the shadow of what appeared to be a huge insect, more like a dragonfly than the mosquito flying around the light bulb.
Even the smallest things cast a large shadow when they fly close to the light.
So little me can bless the world in a big way if I fly close to Jesus, the light of the world.
I've learned a lot about the kingdom from bugs.
You probably have no idea how hard it is to offend a honeybee.

JC Mills (pictured), most recently an agent with ICM Partners, has been named president and GM of Philadelphia- and LA-based indie Glass Entertainment Group.
JC Mills (pictured), most recently an agent at ICM Partners, has been tapped as president and GM of Philadelphia- and LA-based indie Glass Entertainment Group.
Prior to joining ICM Partners as an alternative television packaging agent, where he repped Glass Entertainment Group, Mills held a number of senior leadership roles within the media sector, including as a director of development at National Geographic Channel, VP of acquisitions for North America at Zodiak Rights and sales executive for international distribution at Shine International.
Glass Entertainment Group was previously known as Nancy Glass Productions and most recently inked an exclusive development and partnership deal with Toronto's Sweatshop Media.
The company's production roster includes such non-fiction series as Animal Planet's Tanked and The Vet Life; History's Big Easy Motors; Travel Channel's Todd Carmichael's Uncommon Grounds; HGTV's Desert Flippers; Cooking Channel's Get Trucked; and Food Network's Save My Bakery.
"We've had a great business relationship over the past year and a half, so it was only natural to take it to this next step and I believe that JC Mills is going to help us take our company to the next level," Glass told realscreen.
The news was first reported by UK-based trade C21 Media.


The attacks of September 11, 2001, ushered in a multitude of legal transformations that restrict civil liberties in the name of national security.
The attacks of September 11, 2001, ushered in a multitude of legal transformations that restrict civil liberties in the name of national security. But discussion of one change that could have particularly devastating consequences has been strangely limited. It concerns the secret and mysterious Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which exists in a legal twilight zone with virtually no connection to the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Since its creation twenty-five years ago, the FISC has steadily amassed more power to intrude on people's lives than any court in our history, and it has never denied a government application for a wiretap or search in more than 14,000 requests. Last year, the seven judges on the court granted almost as many warrants as the 600 or so trial judges in the entire federal judiciary.
The FISC is certainly a peculiar institution. It hears only one side of every case–the government's. No defense attorney or member of the public has ever attended one of its sessions. Its judges (expanded to eleven under the Patriot Act), who are current federal trial and appellate judges, are handpicked by Chief Justice William Rehnquist for rotating terms. A FISC appointment is prestigious; jockeying for one is described as intense. FISC decisions cannot be appealed by a defendant–not even to the Supreme Court.
How did such a court come to exist? The original idea was seen as a good-government reform. Before the FISC, which was created with bipartisan backing under the Carter Administration, the President could order a wiretap or break-in without a warrant if he unilaterally determined it was necessary for national security reasons. Because the legal authority to do so was always suspect (and because President Nixon abused this privilege by allowing the FBI to monitor thousands of Americans, including members of the White House staff), the FISC was created to check executive power by imposing standards and judicial review on this process.
From its inception, getting a warrant from the FISC was far easier than from a regular court. Probable cause was needed, but rather than requiring suspected criminal activity (as in regular courts), such a warrant needed only to allege that the target was a "foreign power" or "agent" of one. This exception to the probable-cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment was considered acceptable because warrants were supposed to be limited to the gathering of foreign intelligence information, not for prosecution in a regular criminal court. Most intended targets were foreign embassies and their personnel. Only Americans believed to be engaged in espionage or in contact (even if innocuous) with an intelligence target could be monitored without Fourth Amendment protections.
This changed dramatically in the mid-1990s. Congress expanded the FISC to authorize not only electronic surveillance but also physical searches of people's homes. Armed with an FISC warrant, FBI agents could now break into private homes and never tell the occupants they had been there, thus foreclosing any possible court challenge to the warrant (you can't challenge an illegal break-in if you don't know it happened). Evidence gathered with FISC warrants also was increasingly used to prosecute people in criminal court on charges that had little or nothing to do with national security; at least a few dozen such cases have come through the courts in recent years.
Then came Attorney General John Ashcroft, who a few months after September 11 decided to apply the FISC to domestic criminal investigations. Now, if a run-of-the-mill domestic criminal prosecution has even the remotest "foreign" association, the Justice Department can do an end-run around the Fourth Amendment and gather evidence under the FISC. Examples of cases that might qualify: an American citizen of Arab descent suspected of any illegality, from drug-dealing to cigarette-smuggling; a political supporter of organizations like the Palestinian Authority, Sinn Fein or Greenpeace; a donor to charities that are suspect, as defined by the Justice Department.
Unsurprisingly, in a case of the fox guarding the henhouse, the FISC itself approved expansion of its powers last November. Its three-judge appeals panel, whose ideological leader, Laurence Silberman, is arguably the most hard-right activist in the federal judiciary, tore down the already weakened "wall" that had blocked intelligence agents, unbound by Fourth Amendment constraints, from sharing information with prosecutors, who are required to abide by the Fourth Amendment. The decision cannot be appealed (the ACLU filed an unprecedented motion seeking Supreme Court review, which was denied).
The FISC's newfound power may well enable the FBI–the agency that seeks the most FISC warrants–to extend the scope of its dubious practices of spying on political activists. As David Cole and James Dempsey document in their book Terrorism and the Constitution, the FBI has often interpreted "support for terrorism" to include peaceful humanitarian and political activities.
Congressional oversight, other than some recent low-intensity efforts by Senators Patrick Leahy and Arlen Specter to shed more light on the court's doings, has been almost nonexistent. Public disclosure to Congress is limited to an annual one-paragraph letter specifying the number of approved FISC warrants. In 2002 that number was 1,228–roughly more than double a decade ago. Given the number of warrants approved since its inception, it is likely that tens of thousands of people have been spied on or had their homes broken into without their knowledge. Also, there is discussion in the intelligence community of creating branches of the FISC in several major cities.
The Fourth Amendment is the heart and soul of a free society–"the right to be let alone," in the words of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. FISC operates in a parallel universe where the Fourth Amendment is essentially defunct and the right to be left alone is meaningless for those Americans targeted. Cleverly, the FISC statute uses legal nomenclature ("probable cause") and real federal judges to convey the look and feel of constitutional legitimacy. In fact, a defendant might have a better chance of being acquitted in China than in a US court using FISC evidence. The precise role of the FISC in the new antiterror legal paradigm remains to be seen–or not seen, as the case may be–but there's little question the power is there for the taking, should the Attorney General avail himself of it. Perhaps Ashcroft has done so; under the rules, we cannot know.

Alfred Hess (19 May 1879 – 24 December 1931) was a German Jewish industrialist and art collector.

Career

Hess was a shoe manufacturer in Erfurt, Thuringia. M & L Hess Schuhfabrik had four factories in Erfurt. He was keen on art and German expressionism. His portrait was made into a woodcut by Max Pechstein in 1919 when he was one of the artists who stayed at the Hess house. Hess made donations to local museums and his visitors' books were so lavishly decorated that illustrations were published as a book in 1957. Hess's factory was forcibly Aryanised under the Nazis.

A memorial plaque for Alfred Hess has been erected at the Hess villa in Alfred-Hess-Straße, Erfurt; the street was named after him in 1992.

Art collection
With his wife Thekla (1884–1968), née Pauson, he had an art collection of around 4,000 works that contained important German Expressionist works and was looted by the Nazis in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1931, Thekla sold some of the paintings to fund a grand tour with her son Hans Hess. She moved to the UK in 1938 and helped Leicester Museum and Art Gallery create an exhibition of German Expressionist art in 1944. Leicester Museum bought or was given four paintings. Hans Hess was appointed as an art assistant at Leicester shortly before the exhibition opened, then in 1947, he became keeper of art at York Art Gallery.

Hans tried to sell some of the paintings after the end of the Second World War but there were no buyers. There was an auction of family paintings at the Marlborough Gallery in 1977 following the death of Hans in 1975 and his widow Lillie in 1976.

Several works, such as Berlin Street Scene (1913) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Nude by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, have been returned to his granddaughter and heir, Anita Halpin, and subsequently sold; the former sold at auction for £20.5 million to the Neue Galerie New York, which also paid over £1 million to Halpin for Nude.

Darnell Nurse earns spot on Edmonton Oilers opening day roster

EDMONTON – Soon after general manager Craig MacTavish settled on the Edmonton Oilers' 23-man opening day roster, he admitted there were still some question marks.
But one decision that could not be reversed pertained to defenceman Darnell Nurse.
The 2013 first-round draft pick did all he could in six pre-season games, including Saturday's loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and it was enough to keep him in the NHL team's lineup. MacTavish and company elected to give Nurse some regular-season games to find out if he is ready.
Rather than send him back to junior and the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds, where he would have to stay for the rest of the season, Nurse will be able to play as many as nine games before the Oilers make their final decision. If he plays that 10th game, his entry-level contract would kick in.
"For me, I'm still on a tryout," he said after Sunday's practice. "It's another step. You kind of switch gears from training camp and trying to earn yourself a spot to now getting into the regular season and doing everything you can to get a win for the team.
"For me, there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity," he continued. "I went through this camp and worked hard for everything I got, but it's just another step. I can't get too excited.
"Throughout camp there's that added stress of not knowing what your situation is going to be, so I was definitely happy this morning."
Nurse, drafted seventh overall, is one of eight defenceman the Oilers put on their roster. He joins Andrew Ference, Jeff Petry, Mark Fayne, Nikita Nikitin, Justin Schultz, Oscar Klefbom and Brad Hunt.
Keith Aulie, a free-agent off-season addition, was put on waivers and will start the season with the Oklahoma City Barons. Martin Marincin, who played 44 games for the Oilers last season, was also sent to the American Hockey League.
Nikitin has a bad ankle and his status for Thursday's opener against the Calgary Flames is up in the air.
"Right now, I feel (Nurse is) deserving of the look," said MacTavish. "Coming into camp, I thought he'd have to play his way out of this opportunity. Quite clearly, in my mind, he hasn't done that. He's played exceptionally well for a young defenceman.
"We'll see where it goes. He has an opportunity like anybody … We all know there's a significant jump from the game we played (Saturday in Vancouver) and the game we'll play Thursday, and these young players — everybody really — has been able to overcome the initial hurdle."

Horseheads charity basketball game draws 2,500 fans
ANDREW LEGARE AND RON LEVANDUSKI
sgsports@gannett.com
HORSEHEADS – Horseheads alumni and current students played a celebrity team that included NFL talent Saturday night in a charity basketball game at Horseheads Middle School.
The game was a fundraiser for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Horseheads athletics. It sprung from an idea from 5-year-old Braedyn Jacobs-Gulich of Elmira Heights, who wanted to do something to help those in need.
Last year the Horseheads boys basketball team had a night for popular Horseheads High School special education teacher Brendan McCarthy, who was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in the summer of 2013. Braedyn, a water boy for Horseheads basketball, was inspired by that moment, which led to the contest.
Among those who played on the all-star team was former NFL player Rashad Barksdale, who played baseball at Hudson Valley Community College with Braedyn's father, Jeremy Gulich. Barksdale's "It's OK to Dream" foundation helped coordinate the game.
Estimated attendance was 2,500 fans and the night included a dunk contest, halfcourt shootout and raffles. Players also signed autographs.
"This is unbelievable," Jeremy Gulich said of the turnout. "It's a great event for a great cause and it looks like everybody's enjoying themselves."
Gulich said he didn't expect to know until Monday how much money was raised.
"It's a great turnout. It's awesome," Barksdale said. "That's what I'm really trying to do with my foundation and my charity events is build it. To come up here and have Jeremy help me is a blessing."
The all-star team also included current New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis, local MMA fighters and McCarthy, who was an honorary player and attended in his wheelchair. Also on the team was 5-foot-5 Porter Maberry, billed as "the world's shortest dunker."
Horseheads' roster included senior basketball standouts Foster Clark, Devonte Gaskins, Sean Paul Owen, Marlea Nolan and Amanda Schiefen, along with former players. Retired Horseheads boys coach Steve Monks coached the team along with Ed Browning.
Braedyn attended Happy House Nursery in West Elmira with one of Brendan McCarthy's four children, Keenan, which helped lead to the decision to use the game partially as a fundraiser to help in the fight against ALS.

The answer to the first one, for you and for me and for a whole lot more people out there, is "yes." And the answer to the rest is, to paraphrase Wu-Tang, simple. MLS is for the people.
Not just in a simple, logistics way, either. Sure, if you're somewhere in the States, MLS is dramatically less expensive than catching a football game or a FIFA event in your thousand-mile radius. It's also as casual or intense an affair as you want it to be. Some stadiums have food trucks. Others have flares. MLS is pretty catch-as-catch can. That's a compliment.
You might miss Michael Bradley, but you also can catch Jordan Hamilton. The 20-year-old has been insanely exciting, a target forward who can keep up with reigning MVP/"Tyrion Lannister-on-speed" Sebastian Giovinco. What's more, since Hamilton is Canadian, groan-worthy Broadway puns don't stick to him.
He's not the only one. Every team has some youngster to grow up with, or to see your kids grow up with, or geez — even grandkids. Not all of them are going to turn into the next Clint Dempsey but nearly all of them are going to turn into something interesting. And without the layers of gloss covering each and every facet of the league, the players are approachable on a human scale.
Take Wil Trapp, who has gone from future engine of the USMNT to just another struggling 23-year-old in the course of a couple years. The difference is less Trapp hitting a wall and more him encountering new puzzles. It was easier to pick out devastating long balls when the front four of Ethan Finlay, Justin Meram, Federico Higuain and Kei Kamara was deadly. Now they're balky, Trapp has had to deal with a new playing style, and has found himself on the outside of a crowded American midfield. It's worth tuning into what's a deservedly last-place team to see how a great national team hope solves an incredibly complex Rubik's Cube. And the person who many pegged to be the next national team coach, Gregg Berhalter, has to save his own job by helping Trapp solve it.
The mixture of compelling storylines and open accessibility is unique to the league, which allows for many points of entry. If MLS is for the people, after all, they have to decide who "the people" are.
The league started as a suburbs-friendly destination sport, and looking around the stadium today you'll still see plenty of khaki-shorted parents and their mop-headed broods. And some teams, particularly the Cascadians, have been smart to leverage the Landon Donovan-led 2002 World Cup run into greater interest from the bearded masses. It doesn't hurt that the Premier League starts at 4am on West Coast mornings.
This might explain the brighter spotlights out west, which have led to maybe-better, definitely-different relationships between teams and their fans in those time zones. San Jose, for example, went from having homophobic chants to sponsoring a Pride Night (and having bilingual TV spots telling fans to shape up) in a matter of weeks. Self-identifying bear subculture supporters groups live peaceably next to…whatever stereotypes you want to form around the several thousand Oakland Raiders fans who are summering at Avaya Stadium.
It's a blank slate for a soccer fan in a way that the Euros or Copa America certainly aren't. The ability to watch young players grow and figure things out, or see coaches scream silently when their best-laid plans go to seed, isn't rare in the soccer world. But the chance to watch it so close, for so little, and in your time zone makes MLS into a pearl. The response to which is usually, from MLS die-hards, "Support your Local." Good enough advice, but note that the prescription doesn't say how. That much, thankfully, is up to you, the antsy spectator with a long summer ahead.

Mothers in television
By Emily McAvan
Mothers are so ubiquitous in popular culture so as to be invisible. Cultural depictions of mothers are still, by and large, functional – women solely defined by their relationships to others, rather than full subjects with desires and anxieties of their own. Thankfully though, this is slowly changing, and we are beginning to see more nuanced representations of mothers.
Here are five mothers who pushed the boundaries of maternal representation this year.
Rose on Please Like Me
Josh Thomas' comedy Please Like Me is notable for a number of things, including breaking new ground for the representation of gay and bisexual characters on Australian television. At the heart of the show is family, chosen and blood.
Josh's mother Rose is one of the most interesting mothers on television: a complex character whose struggles with mental illness across the show's four seasons are rarely a punchline. Instead, her relationship with her son is a subtle look at the complicated terrain of caretaking. Of particular interest is the episode in which Josh and Rose went for a five-day hike in Tasmania together, a conceit by turns hilarious and tender. By day, the two talk about Rose's suicide attempt, Josh's sexuality, God and Eminem; at night Rose cries herself to sleep. It's a rare compassionate portrayal of maternal depression. Just as in real life, there are no easy answers to the treatment of mental illness on Please Like Me, something shown to devastating effect in recent episodes.
Joyce on Stranger Things
I know, I know, nothing seems quite so cool on this show as the girl with the telekinetic powers, but Winona Ryder's performance as Joyce ranks a close second. With her son Will trapped in alternate dimension The Upside Down, Joyce's faith in her son is beyond rational, though ultimately successful in recovering Will from the hellish dimension. Much has been made of Stranger Things' nostalgia for 80s texts like ET, but where the mother in ET is largely absent from the supernatural goings-on – and hence passive – Joyce is aware and active in her son's rescue. Moreover, in its portrayal of Joyce, Stranger Things adds a classed dimension lacking from Spielberg's middle-class milieu. Joyce works in a supermarket, and has to convince her boss to give her an advance in order to put together a light apparatus to communicate with her son. Portrayals of working-class mothers are scarce enough on television, let alone genre fiction pieces with monsters and telekinetic powers. Fascinatingly, even the monster in the Upside Down harks back to the 80s maternal imagery of the likes of Alien, with womb imagery featuring rather prominently. Stranger Things is about more than just mothers; it is about the maternal as symbol as much as practice.
Emily on Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
Gilmore Girls was always a meditation on motherhood, with its premise of a single mother bringing up a teen, but in its recent revival the show has increasingly focused on the relationship between mother Lorelai and her mother Emily. Where the original run made much mileage from the freakishly close Lorelai and her daughter Rory, in the new incarnation the fraught relationship between Lorelai and Emily takes centre stage as the two attend therapy together. Ostensibly undertaken to help Emily grieve the death of her husband six months earlier, the sessions devolve into bickering over old issues.
As a show, the Gilmore Girls has always returned to the intractability of family conflict, of the difficulty in moving past childhood resentment and parental disappointment. In different ways, Emily and Lorelai have never gotten past Lorelai's teen pregnancy. And yet, the show leaves open the possibility of healing, of finding new modes through which to relate to your children as adults. The English writer Jeanette Winterson has said that there are only three endings to stories: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. Emily and Lorelai must learn to forgive one another and let go of the past. The Gilmore Girls shows the difficulty of forgiveness, but its necessity, too.
Anne Boleyn on Wolf Hall
Wolf Hall, the TV adaptation of Hillary Mantel's Booker prizewinning novel of the same name, was one of the highlights of this year on the ABC. Its portrayal of Anne Boleyn is a fascinating study of avarice and ambition. For Anne, in the intensely patriarchal early modern period, motherhood – and specifically conceiving a male heir to Henry's throne – represents her only path to power. Tragically, Anne gives birth to a girl, Elizabeth, then miscarries, paving the way for her own downfall. But what is interesting in Wolf Hall is how the show highlights the way patriarchy uses women's reproductivity against them, a double-edged sword that cuts across social classes.
Practically everyone on Call the Midwife
It might seem a bit nanna, but Call the Midwife is frequently one of the most interesting shows around, for the simple reason that it is one of the few shows on television with an overwhelmingly female cast. Midwife takes as its raison d'être the act of childbirth, and in doing so examines motherhood from every angle imaginable. Every episode features multiple mothers of every possible permutation, from teenage mothers to sex workers to immigrant mothers to mothers of ten. But it is not just the guest characters that are mothers on Midwife. We see nurse Chummy adjust to life as a mother in the 1960s, at a time when many mothers of her class did not work.
But lest all this seem too essentialist, reinforcing the idea of motherhood as biological, the show also features former nun Shelagh step-mothering as well as parenting an adopted child. Mother has always been a verb as well as a noun, and Midwife shows that maternal care – like the social welfare state that Midwife nostalgically evokes – is valuable and transformative.
Of course, these are far from the only interesting mothers on TV at the moment. Science fiction series Orphan Black has a number of mothers drawing out some fascinating implications from its cloning premise, while Transparent has a transgender mother (though one whose motherhood is contested, both by other characters and reviewers). As these shows demonstrate, there is an audience out there hungry for new and innovative takes on motherhood, the maternal and the lives of women.

Thanks Emily, this is really interesting. I've only seen Please Like Me, but will check out some of these others.
Can I nominate one more? I really love the three depictions of the maternal in Jane the Virgin. These are three vastly different approaches to motherhood – for Jane, it's not either/or (either be a mother or a fully realised person) despite the social pressure for her to choose one or the other; Xiomara, a sole parent who had to sacrifice a great deal in raising Jane; and Alba, a conservative and religious migrant, who for so long lived in the shadow of her past, and a constant fear of deportation. Obviously all three characters represent generational differences to a degree, but they are all unique and rich depictions too.
If you haven't seen it yet, I hope I have conveyed some of its appeal!
From Stephen on 14 December 2016 at 8.50 am
Very intriguing post. Thanks. Roszika Parker has written a lot of interesting
stuff on motherhood and representations of the maternal and how ambivalent (in the psychoanalytical sense) a state it can be. Parker somewhere quotes Kristeva saying that we are – culturally, politically – in the grip of a primary narcissism (see Trump as the perfect expression of that), which of course is based on rigid idealisations of women and the maternal and can't tolerate any ambivalence at all. I'm just wondering – having not seen any of these programs, being a habitual non-watcher of TV – how much of their success is due to a kind of public desire *for* ambivalence, a willingness to embrace with the messy politics of being with and looking after other people. Women reclaiming the politics of motherhood, and its history – which doesn't necessarily mean becoming mothers of course – among other feminist reclaimings, might be a hopeful political sign in the midst of what the media insist on calling the rise of 'populism', but I tend to think of as a last ditch psychotic defence against the collapse of patriarchal narcissism.
And if I can take the liberty of lining up this post with Natalie Kon-Yu's on the academic erasure of women, Roszika Parker also wrote 'Old Mistresses: Women, Art and Ideology' a groundbreaking study on the inherent misogyny in art criticism, and art's portrayals of women.

Coronavirus: Chinese Fencers Returning from Hungary Test Positive
MTI-Hungary Today 2020.03.20.
Three Chinese fencers tested positive for the novel coronavirus on their arrival in China from Hungary, the Chinese fencing federation reported on Friday.
According to the federation, the fencers had participated in the Westend Epee Grand Prix held behind closed doors in Budapest between March 6-8, adding that the tests of three South Korean fencers participating in the same event have also come back positive.
Originally, the Chinese team was scheduled to leave Hungary after Olympic qualifiers that were to be held on March 22-24, but the international federation announced the cancellation of all international events for the next month, and they left on March 16.
The three Chinese fencers have been hospitalised with mild symptoms of Covid-19, the federation said.
Hungarian fencing federation MVSZ said that all participants had made statements prior to the competition that they had been tested negative for coronavirus and that they had not visited areas hit by the epidemic.
According to information from the South Korean federation, one of the South Korean fencers, a woman, had reported a sore throat while still in Hungary.

House Republicans Troll Rep. Ilhan Omar With New Bill
By Jeff Charles | 3:30 PM on February 07, 2021
AP Photo/Jim Mone
Trolling isn't just for social media, folks. In fact, two Republican members of Congress just introduced a bill that will put a smile on your face while annoying the far left.
The Daily Caller reported, "Two House Republicans introduced a bill Friday to prevent members of Congress from using campaign funds to pay their spouses, a measure they named after Rep. Ilhan Omar."
Wisconsin Reps. Tom Tiffany and Mike Gallagher proposed the Oversight for Members And Relatives Act, otherwise known as the OMAR act. The proposal is intended to address reports that Omar's campaign paid $2.8 million to a consulting firm that her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, owned. (See: Ilhan Omar Has Now Paid Her Husband's 'Firm' Over $1 Million In Corrupt Scheme)
"For too long, lawmakers of both political parties have engaged in the ethically dubious practice of pocketing campaign funds by 'hiring' their spouses and laundering the money as campaign related expenses," said Tiffany in a press release.
"Loopholes that allow members of Congress to funnel campaign funds to their spouses are despicable and erode trust in our government," Rep. Gallagher noted. "There's simply no logical reason for allowing this practice to continue, and I'm proud to join Rep. Tiffany in this common-sense effort to ensure members can't profit off running for Congress."
The two lawmakers explained that the bill is based on a piece of legislation that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) introduced in 2007 that was intended to prevent elected officials and candidates from employing their spouses on their campaigns.
"It is outrageous and inappropriate for Members of Congress to convert campaign donations to personal funds in this way," Tiffany argued. "It feeds public perceptions of corruption, undermines public trust in Congress, and must come to an end."
"Regardless of political party, we should all be able to agree that running for political office shouldn't be part of a family enrichment scheme," Tiffany concluded. "Passing the OMAR Act will help restore public confidence in Congress and stop politicians from effectively pocketing their campaign funds."
The Daily Caller pointed out that "The Republican proposal goes further than Schiff's, which passed the House on July 23, 2007, given that it would prohibit payments to candidates' spouses who serve as consultants to their campaigns."
Rep. Omar has faced scrutiny on several occasions when it was revealed that she was using campaign funds to benefit herself and her husband. She is alleged to have funneled donations through Mynett's consulting company to enrich herself.
Of course, this proposal will likely go nowhere until Republicans control both chambers of Congress. The fact that the bill is named after a Democratic congress member who has blatantly flouted the law when it comes to campaign funds indicates that left-leaning lawmakers will want to bury it as quickly as possible. But it is still another reminder of the malfeasance that Omar engaged in with her campaign. These allegations will not stop following her anytime soon.

Biografia
Era il quinto di nove figli di Manuel María González, fondatore del vino e sherry bodega González Byass, e di sua moglie, Victoriana Soto. Al momento della nascita di Manuel, la famiglia González era già considerata tra le più ricche della città. Studiò al St. Edward's College. In seguito viaggiò ad altri posti in Europa per concludere la sua educazione e perfezionare il suo inglese e francese.

Carriera
Dopo aver completato gli studi, González tornò in Spagna e divenne direttore dell'azienda di famiglia. Sotto il suo controllo, insieme al fratello, la società si ingrandì ulteriormente, anche con la produzione di grappa e liquori. Fu creato il logo per l'etichetta Tio Pepe. A parte il suo lavoro alla González Byass, Manuel Críspulo González era membro della commissione organizzatrice della seconda regione del somatén, un orologio civile, istituito da Miguel Primo de Rivera nel 1920.

A Jerez de la Frontera ha fondato l'Accademia Filarmonica e l'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Santo Domingo. Era un patrono della Scuola di arti applicate e mestieri nella stessa città. Egli ha anche donato i soldi per un dipinto della Battaglia di Clavijo per la chiesa di Santiago a Jerez de la Frontera. Inoltre finanziò e donò soldi per la linea ferroviaria di la Sierra nel 1901. Sulle proprie terre aveva fatto costruire il centro termale di San Telmo, un luogo visitato dalla gente del posto e da persone provenienti da tutta la Spagna. Una sala del complesso era stata dedicata per i locali che non potevano permettersi trattamenti terapeutici e i soldati della guarnigione militare di Jerez de la Frontera.

Donò terre a Sanlúcar de Barrameda ai soldati feriti delle guerre a Cuba e Filippine.

Fu nominato Marchese di Bonanza, il 6 febbraio 1902 dalla regina reggente Maria Cristina d'Austria.

Matrimonio
Sposò, il 30 novembre 1870, María Josefa de Ágreda (12 aprile 1852-?), figlia di Diego de Ágreda. Ebbero sette figli:

 Manuel Francisco González (4 luglio 1873);
 Diego Luis González (13 giugno 1878-14 luglio 1901);
 María Josefa González (8 aprile 1877);
 Petra González (26 novembre 1878-10 aprile 1921);
 José Luis González (30 marzo 1881-1940);

I want all that crap to be taken off so I don't have to deal with any popups like she is. I know they get tricky on adding that stuff on.
I would like a light weight Dell Laptop the smaller and light weight the better!
try and by a business dell as consumer dell the charging and batteries go out,,and consumer computers are not that good.

Dell Small Business. I usually do Outlet not new.. then order via chat or phone and ask about special pricing on the extended warranty.
Costco is good. Don't depend on Best Buy to fix anything unless you buy extended warrantee where they own it. Several machines I've had to fix after Geek Squad couldn't.
So you get a better warranty deal by doing a chat?
What do you mean the Geek Squad couldn't fix them?
Any recommendations on the which Dell laptop I should buy? I want a fast one but I'm not going to be doing any gaming with it or anything. Just want to move around fast. My current Dell Laptop is at least 10 or more years old. My other Dell Laptop is about 20+ years old. Both still working but both to slow now. I'm still using Windows 7. I'm not looking forward to switching over to Windows 10 since I'm so used to Windows 7.
get a larger SSD and at least 8 GB of RAM with a 7th or 8th gen processor with a higher clock speed.
Quad Core instead of the usual dual core.
I've always had the best luck with SquareTrade for warranties. Fast turnaround times, typically better coverage, and often much cheaper if you do a google search for a coupon code.
Edit: just looked up warranty pricing on SquareTrade, and they seemed to of bumped up their prices quite a bit. And I don't even see an option for regular warranty anymore... only option is the accidental warranty, which was always quite a bit pricier.

Also I'm seeing 2 of the Latitude 14" 5000 (5480). One Certified Refurbished for $518 one tand one scratch ad dented for $519. Which was in better to go with. And dang the 5 year warranty for the 4 year price is $394. That's high and is almost close to the same price as the computer.

hey I would not go past a 1 yr warranty myself.
I would go for a scratch and dent but it would depend if the specs were the same. Refurbished usually were turned on then gone thru and refurbished, scratch and dent failed a visual inspection and were pulled off the line. I have purchased a few S&D and out of 4 actually saw one small scratch on the Dell logo on a laptop, nothing you would not do yourself the first time not putting in a bag .
FWIW Dell will usually contact you near the end of your warranty term with special pricing to extend it. I've even bought extended warranty from them after the current warranty expired!

Kawasaki Preparing To Launch 'KLR 650S' In Australia
2023 Kawasaki KLR650S will be the 3rd variant offered in Australian market… There is no information of it coming to India anytime soon…
So last year, Kawasaki surprised the international adventure bike community by launching the 3rd generation KLR 650 – which the community earlier deemed to be surviving on its last fumes.
Just for context, the new Kawasaki KLR 650 has been modernised by equipping it with fuel injection, improved styling and a new one-piece frame. In the U.S. market, the new KLR 650 is being offered in 3 variants – the Base model, the Traveler model with a top case, and the Adventure model with side cases, auxiliary lighting & engine guards.
However, In the Australian market, Kawasaki only offered 2 variants of the 2022 KLR 650 – Base model & Adventure model – that too equipped with ABS as standard.

Now, thanks to a leaked Australian vehicle certification, it has been revealed that the Japanese manufacturer is preparing to add a new 'S' variant of the KLR650 to the market. The new variant could be named KLR650S. Other than the name, the leaked document sheds no further light on the new variant.
The leaked document only outlined details for the existing KLR650 and KLR650 Adventure models, with no evidence of how the KLR650S will differ from its siblings.
Yet, the question still stands – What does the 'S' in the name stand for?? Could it be 'Street'?? Or could it be 'Sport'??
These will only be answered once Kawasaki officially launches the new 'S' version of the well-respected and widely-adored KLR650 adventure bike in the Australian market.
Speaking of the Australian market, Royal Enfield launched a new 'Black Series Adventure Kit' in Australia for their Himalayan 411 ADV a few weeks ago. You can read all about it by clicking here.

Q: Reconnect peers without getting a new SDP I have this demo code where I connect two peers and I share a string between them. I'm doing this all in one place for the sake of testing.
My code successfully creates a connection between the two and shares the messages.
What I want to do is terminate the connection between them and create a new one without getting new SDP's from the signalling server i.e. I want to reconnect the same two peers with the SDP's they had from their previous session that got destroyed.
Is this even possible?
Due to the nature of the project I'm working on I am required to create and destroy data channels i.e. create and destroy connections every few seconds and given the number of users, there is a huge strain on our signalling server.
Thank you.
var peer1 = new SimplePeer({
  initiator: true,
  trickle: false,
  config: {
    iceServers: ["CONFIG PLACEHOLDER"]
  },
  objectMode: true,
})

var peer2 = new SimplePeer({
  initiator: false,
  trickle: false,
  config: {
    iceServers: ["CONFIG PLACEHOLDER"]
  },
  objectMode: true,
})

peer1.on('signal', function (data) {
  peer2.signal(data)
})

peer2.on('signal', function (data) {
  peer1.signal(data)
})

peer1.on('connect', function () {
  peer1.send('hey peer2, how is it going?')
})

peer2.on('connect', function () {
  peer2.send('hey peer1, how is it going?')
})

peer2.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('got a message from peer1: ' + data)
})

peer1.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('got a message from peer2: ' + data)
})

A: 1) No, you can't. Reconnection requires new SDP to be exchanged.
2) No, you don't have to. You can create new datachannels and close old ones on either of the peerconnections without exchanging new SDP betweeen the parties.
The SDP has to provide for connecting datachannels - so add the first one before the initial offer/answer. But after that, you can add and remove datachannels as much as you like.
