What is Splash?
Setting Up Splash
The easiest way to set up Splash is through Docker:
$ docker run -p 8050:8050 scrapinghub/splash
Splash will now be running on localhost:8050. If you're on OS X, it will be running on the IP address of boot2docker's virtual machine.
If you would like to install Splash without using Docker, please refer to the documentation.
Using Splash with Scrapy
Now that Splash is running, you can test it in your browser:
On the right enter a URL (e.g. http://amazon.com) and click 'Render me!'. Splash will display a screenshot of the page as well as charts and a list of requests with their timings. At the bottom you should see a textbox containing the rendered HTML.
You can use Request to send links to Splash:
req_url = "http://localhost:8050/render.json" body = json.dumps({ "url": url, "har": 1, "html": 0, }) headers = Headers({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}) yield scrapy.Request(req_url, self.parse_link, method='POST', body=body, headers=headers)
If you're using CrawlSpider, the easiest way is to override the process_links function in your spider to replace links with their Splash equivalents:
def process_links(self, links): for link in links: link.url = "http://localhost:8050/render.html?" + urlencode({ 'url' : link.url }) return links
ScrapyJS (recommended)
The preferred way to integrate Splash with Scrapy is using ScrapyJS. You can install ScrapyJS using pip:
pip install scrapyjs
To use ScrapyJS in your project, you first need to enable the middleware:
DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = { 'scrapyjs.SplashMiddleware': 725, }
The middleware needs to take precedence over the HttpProxyMiddleware, which by default is at position 750, so we set the middleware to 725.
You will then need to set the SPLASH_URL setting in your project's settings.py:
SPLASH_URL = 'http://localhost:8050/'
Don't forget, if you are using boot2docker on OS X, you will need to set this to the IP address of the boot2docker virtual machine, e.g.:
SPLASH_URL = 'http://192.168.59.103:8050/'
Scrapy currently doesn't provide a way to override request fingerprints calculation globally, so you will also have to set a custom DUPEFILTER_CLASS and a custom cache storage backend:
DUPEFILTER_CLASS = 'scrapyjs.SplashAwareDupeFilter' HTTPCACHE_STORAGE = 'scrapyjs.SplashAwareFSCacheStorage'
If you already use another cache storage backend, you will need to subclass it and replace all calls to scrapy.util.request.request_fingerprint with scrapyjs.splash_request_fingerprint.
Now that the Splash middleware is enabled, you can begin rendering your requests with Splash using the 'splash' meta key.
For example, if we wanted to retrieve the rendered HTML for a page, we could do something like this:
import scrapy class MySpider(scrapy.Spider): start_urls = ["http://example.com", "http://example.com/foo"] def start_requests(self): for url in self.start_urls: yield scrapy.Request(url, self.parse, meta={ 'splash': { 'endpoint': 'render.html', 'args': {'wait': 0.5} } }) def parse(self, response): # response.body is a result of render.html call; it # contains HTML processed by a browser. # …
The 'args' dict contains arguments to send to Splash, you can find a full list of available arguments in the HTTP API documentation. We don't need to provide the url parameter in the args, as it will be pre-filled from the URL in the Request object. By default the endpoint is set to 'render.json', but here we have overridden it and set it to 'render.html' to provide a HTML response.
Running Custom JavaScript
Sometimes when visiting a website, you may need to press a button or close a modal to view the page properly. Splash allows you to run your own JavaScript code within the context of the web page you're requesting. There are several ways you can accomplish this:
Using the js_source Parameter
The js_source parameter can be used to send the JavaScript you want to execute. It's recommended that you send this as a POST parameter rather than GET due to web servers and proxies enforcing limits on the size of GET parameters. See curl example below:
# Render page and modify its title dynamically curl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"js_source": "document.title=\"My Title\";", "url": "http://example.com"}' \ 'http://localhost:8050/render.html'
Sending JavaScript in the Body
You can also set the Content-Type header to 'application/javascript' and send the JavaScript code you would like to execute in the body of the request. See curl example below:
# Render page and modify its title dynamically curl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/javascript' \ -d 'document.title="My Title"; \ 'http://localhost:8050/render.html?url=http://domain.com'
Splash Scripts (recommended)
Splash supports Lua scripts through its execute endpoint. This is the preferred way to execute JavaScript as you can preload libraries, choose when to execute the JavaScript, and retrieve the output.
Here's an example script:
function main(splash) splash:go("http://example.com") splash:wait(0.5) local title = splash:evaljs("document.title") return {title=title} end
This will return a JSON object containing the title:
{ "title": "Some title" }
You can test your Splash scripts in your browser by visiting your Splash instance's index page (e.g. http://localhost:8050/). It's also possible to use Splash with IPython notebook as an interactive web-based development environment, see here for more details. Note: You will need to use the master branch in the meantime until Splash 1.5 is released, so instead of docker pull scrapinghub/splash-jupyter (as stated in the docs) you should do docker pull scrapinghub/splash-jupyter:master.
A common scenario is that the user needs to click a button before the page is displayed. We can handle this using jQuery with Splash:
function main(splash) splash:autoload("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js") splash:go("http://example.com") splash:runjs("$('#some-button').click()") return splash:html() end
You can find more info on running JavaScript with Splash in the docs, and for a more in-depth tutorial, check out the Splash Scripts Tutorial.
We hope this tutorial gave you a nice introduction to Splash, and please let us know if you have any questions or comments!
"The easiest way to think about Memex is: How can I make the unseen seen?"
— Dan Kaufman, director of the innovation office at DARPA
Scrapinghub is participating in Memex, an ambitious DARPA project that tackles the huge challenge of crawling, indexing, and making sense of areas of the Deep Web, that is, web content not being indexed by traditional search engines such as Google, Bing and others. This content, according to current estimations, dwarfs Google's total indexed content by a ratio of almost 20 to 1. It includes all sorts of criminal activity that, until Memex became available, had proven to be really hard to track down in a systematic way.
The inventor of Memex, Chris White, appeared on 60 Minutes to explain how it works and how it could revolutionize law enforcement investigations:
Scrapinghub will be participating alongside Cloudera, Elephant Scale and Openindex as part of the Hyperion Gray team. We're delighted to be able to bring our web scraping expertise and open source projects, such as Scrapy, Splash and Crawl Frontier, to a project that has such a positive impact in the real world.
We hope to share more news regarding Memex and Scrapinghub in the coming months!
We are proud to announce some exciting changes we've introduced this week. These changes bring a much more pleasant user experience, and several new features including the addition of Portia to our platform!
Here are the highlights:
An Improved Look and Feel
We have introduced a number of improvements in the way our dashboard looks and feels. This includes a new layout based on Bootstrap 3, a more user-friendly color scheme, the ability to schedule jobs once per month, and a greatly improved spiders page with pagination and search.
Filtering and pagination of spiders:
A new user interface for adding periodic jobs:
A new user interface for scheduling spiders:
And much more!
Your Organization on Scrapy Cloud
You are now able to create and manage organizations in Scrapy Cloud, add members if necessary and from there create new projects under your organization. This will make it much easier for you to manage your projects and keep them all in one place. Also, to make things simpler, our billing system will soon be managed at the organization level rather than per individual user.
You are now able to create projects within the context of an organization, however other organization members will need to be invited in order to access it. A user can be invited to a project even if that user is not a member of the project's organization.
Export Items as XML
Due to popular demand, we have added the ability to download your items as XML:
Improvements to Periodic Jobs
We have made several improvements to the way periodic jobs are handled:
- There is no delay when creating or editing a job. For example, if you create a new a job at 11:59 to run at 12:00, it will do so without any trouble.
- If there is any downtime, jobs that were intended to be scheduled during the downtime will be scheduled automatically once the service is restored.
- You can now schedule jobs at specific dates in the month.
Portia Now Available in Dash
Last year, we open-sourced our annotation based scraping tool, Portia. We have since been working to integrate it into Dash, and it's finally here!
We have added an 'Open in Portia' button to your projects' Autoscraping page, so you can now open your Scrapy Cloud projects in Portia. We intend Portia to be a successor to our existing Autoscraping interface, and hope you find it to be a much more pleasant experience. No longer do you have to do a preliminary crawl to begin annotating, you can just jump straight in!
Check out this demo of how you can create a spider using Portia and Dash!
Enjoy the new features, and of course if you have any feedback please don't hesitate to post on our support forum!
We're proud to announce our new open source project, ScrapyRT! ScrapyRT, short for Scrapy Real Time, allows you to extract data from a single web page via an API using your existing Scrapy spiders.
Why did we start this project?
We needed to be able to retrieve the latest data for a previously scraped page, on demand. ScrapyRT made this easy by allowing us to reuse our spider logic to extract data from a single page, rather than running the whole crawl again.
How does ScrapyRT work?
ScrapyRT runs as a web service and retrieving data is as simple as making a request with the URL you want to extract data from and the name of the spider you would like to use.
Let's say you were running ScrapyRT on localhost, you could make a request like this:
ScrapyRT will schedule a request in Scrapy for the URL specified and use the 'foo' spider's parse method as a callback. The data extracted from the page will be serialized into JSON and returned in the response body. If the spider specified doesn't exist, a 404 will be returned. The majority of Scrapy spiders will be compatible without any additional programming necessary.
How do I use ScrapyRT in my Scrapy project?
> git clone https://github.com/scrapinghub/scrapyrt.git > cd scrapyrt > pip install -r requirements.txt > python setup.py install > cd ~/your-scrapy-project > scrapyrt
ScrapyRT will be running on port 9080, and you can schedule your spiders per the example shown earlier.
We hope you find ScrapyRT useful and look forward to hearing your feedback!
Comment here or discuss on HackerNews.
One year ago we were looking back at the great 2013 we had and realized we would have quite a big challenge in front of us in order to have as much growth as we had during last year. So here are some highlights of the things we've been up to during this year, let's see how well we did!
2014 was quite the travelling year for Scrapinghub! We sponsored both the US PyCon in Montreal and the spanish PyCon in Zaragoza. We've also been to Codemotion in Madrid and PythonBrasil. We hope to hit the road during 2015 too, bringing some spider magic to even more cities!
During this year we've also continued to work on both new and ongoing Professional Services projects for clients all around the world and we're glad to see that our efforts are paying off, we have increased our customer base while maintaining the same quality standards we've had since we were just a few guys, back in 2010.
Our platform has grown too! There's been steady effort in getting it to the point where we've been able to accommodate the ever increasing volume of scraping we and our customers have been doing. In 2014 alone Scrapy Cloud has scraped and stored data from over 10 billion pages (more than 5 times the amount we did in 2013!) and an extra 5 billion have passed through Crawlera.
We are excited to see our revenue tripling from last year, and it makes us very proud to have grown organically so far. We can only imagine what we could do with some funding, but we won't do anything that could jeopardize the way we run the company, which has proven very successful.
Open Source
In the open source front, we've been spending a lot of time improving our annotation based scraping tool Portia. Our main focus has been on integrating it into our Scrapy cloud platform, and soon Scrapinghub users will be able to open their Autoscraping projects in Portia. You can see an example of the current Dash integration here. This will eventually be our successor to our Autoscraping tool. If you just cannot wait to try Portia you're in luck, we open sourced it sometime ago (it was trending Python project on Github for a month!) so you can try it locally if you wish!
We also have a number of new and interesting open source projects: Dateparser, Crawl Frontier and Splash.
- Dateparser is a parser for human readable dates/ which is able to detect and support multiple languages. It can even read text such as "2 weeks ago" and determine the date relative to the current time! The project already has over 300 stars and 17 forks on github.
- Crawl frontier is a framework for building the frontier part of your web crawler, that's the bit of a crawling system that decides the logic and policies to follow when a crawler is visiting websites such as what pages should be crawled next, priorities and ordering, how often pages are revisited, etc. Although originally designed for use with Scrapy, Crawl frontier can now be used with any other crawling framework or project you wish to use!
- Splash is an API for JavaScript rendering. It's currently our in-house solution for crawling Javascript powered websites, and we're hopeful that usage will begin to grow outside of Scrapinghub.
Of course, all our other existing open source projects such as Scrapy, webstruct and others have seen major improvements, something that will keep on going during 2015 and beyond.
We're glad to be able to share all these experiences, numbers and new projects with you, but we know very well that behind every single one of those stands the hard work done by all members of our team, saying that this wouldn't have been possible without them is an understatement. And the team has grown, 2014 marks the second year in a row that our team has doubled, we're now 85 Scrapinghubbers! (and we'll be over 90 by the end of January)
So here's a sincere thank you from the Scrapinghub team to all of our customers and supporters. Thanks for an amazing 2014 and watch out 2015, here we come! Happy New Year!
In the context of web scraping, XPath is a nice tool to have in your belt, as it allows you to write specifications of document locations more flexibly than CSS selectors. In case you're looking for a tutorial, here is a XPath tutorial with nice examples.
In this post, we'll show you some tips we found valuable when using XPath in the trenches, using Scrapy Selector API for our examples.
Avoid using contains(.//text(), 'search text') in your XPath conditions. Use contains(., 'search text') instead.
Here is why: the expression .//text()
yields a collection of text elements — a node-set. And when a node-set is converted to a string, which happens when it is passed as argument to a string function like contains()
or starts-with()
, results in the text for the first element only.
>>> from scrapy import Selector >>> sel = Selector(text='Click here to go to the Next Page') >>> xp = lambda x: sel.xpath(x).extract() # let's type this only once >>> xp('//a//text()') # take a peek at the node-set [u'Click here to go to the ', u'Next Page'] >>> xp('string(//a//text())') # convert it to a string [u'Click here to go to the ']
A node converted to a string, however, puts together the text of itself plus of all its descendants:
>>> xp('//a[1]') # selects the first a node [u'Click here to go to the Next Page'] >>> xp('string(//a[1])') # converts it to string [u'Click here to go to the Next Page']
So, in general:
>>> xp("//a[contains(., 'Next Page')]") [u'Click here to go to the Next Page']
>>> xp("//a[contains(.//text(), 'Next Page')]") []
>>> xp("substring-after(//a, 'Next ')") [u'Page']
>>> xp("substring-after(//a//text(), 'Next ')") [u'']
You can read more detailed explanations about string values of nodes and node-sets in the XPath spec.
Beware of the difference between //node[1] and (//node)[1]
selects all the nodes occurring first under their respective parents.
selects all the nodes in the document, and then gets only the first of them.
>>> from scrapy import Selector >>> sel=Selector(text=""" ....:
 ....:
1
 ....:
2
 ....:
3
 ....:
 ....:
 ....:
4
 ....:
5
 ....:
6
 ....:
""") >>> xp = lambda x: sel.xpath(x).extract() >>> xp("//li[1]") # get all first LI elements under whatever it is its parent [u'
1
', u'
4
'] >>> xp("(//li)[1]") # get the first LI element in the whole document [u'
1
'] >>> xp("//ul/li[1]") # get all first LI elements under an UL parent [u'
1
', u'
4
'] >>> xp("(//ul/li)[1]") # get the first LI element under an UL parent in the document [u'
1
']
//a[starts-with(@href, '#')][1]
gets a collection of the local anchors that occur first under their respective parents.
(//a[starts-with(@href, '#')])[1]
gets the first local anchor in the document.
When selecting by class, be as specific as necessary
If you want to select elements by a CSS class, the XPath way to do that is the rather verbose:
*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' someclass ')]
Let's cook up some examples:
>>> sel = Selector(text='
Someone

Some content
') >>> xp = lambda x: sel.xpath(x).extract()
BAD: doesn't work because there are multiple classes in the attribute
>>> xp("//*[@class='content']") []
BAD: gets more than we want
>>> xp("//*[contains(@class,'content')]") [u'
Someone
']
>>> xp("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' content ')]") [u'
Some content
']
And many times, you can just use a CSS selector instead, and even combine the two of them if needed:
>>> sel.css(".content").extract() [u'
Some content
'] >>> sel.css('.content').xpath('@class').extract() [u'content text-wrap']
Read more about what you can do with Scrapy's Selectors here.
Learn to use all the different axes
It is handy to know how to use the axes, you can follow through the examples given in the tutorial to quickly review this.
In particular, you should note that following and following-sibling are not the same thing, this is a common source of confusion. The same goes for preceding and preceding-sibling, and also ancestor and parent.
Useful trick to get text content
Here is another XPath trick that you may use to get the interesting text contents:
//*[not(self::script or self::style)]/text()[normalize-space(.)]
This excludes the content from script
and style
tags and also skip whitespace-only text nodes. Source: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19350897/2572383
Do you have another XPath tip?
Please, leave us a comment with your tips or questions. :)
And for everybody who contributed tips and reviewed this article, a big thank you!
One of the things that takes more time when building a spider is reviewing the scraped data and making sure it conforms to the requirements and expectations of your client or team. This process is so time consuming that, in many cases, it ends up taking more time than writing the spider code itself, depending on how well the requirements are written. To make this process more efficient we have introduced the ability to comment data directly on Dash (Scrapinghub UI), right next to the data, instead of relying on other channels (like issue trackers, emails or chat).
With this new feature you can discuss problems with data right where they appear without having to copy/paste data around, and have a conversation with your client or team until the issue is resolved. This reduces the time spent on data QA, making the whole process more productive and rewarding.
So go ahead, start adding comments to your data (you can comment whole items or individual fields) and let the conversation flow around data! You can mark resolved issues by archiving comments, and you will see jobs with unresolved (unarchived) comments directly on the Jobs Dashboard.
Last, but not least, you have the Data Reviews API to insert comments programmatically. This is useful, for example, to report problems in post-processing scripts that analyze the scraped data.
Happy scraping!

Keeping salon air breathable is not all about your ventilation equipment; some of it comes down to your work habits. Once your ventilation system is in place, the Nail Manufacturers Council (NMC) advises taking these easy steps to further minimize your exposure to potentially irritating or harmful substances.
> Dispose of all product-contaminated materials (e.g., paper towels, gauze, cotton, or other absorbent material) in a sealed container or bag.> Use trash cans with self-closing lids and place one at every worktable.> Empty trash cans several times per day and change liners daily.> Dispose of waste products according to manufacturer's instructions or MSDS.> Properly ventilate storage areas where professional products are kept.> Keep top exhaust vents on worktables clear of any obstruction (such as cloth towels).> Keep all product containers tightly closed when not in use.> Avoid using bulk size containers when performing services. Instead, transfer products from large containers to smaller, properly labeled containers. Perform this task in a well-ventilated area.> Use a dappen dish with a small opening and cover it when not in use.> Wear properly fitted N95-rated dust masks to prevent inhaling dust particles.> Do not smoke in the salon and post "no smoking" signs in the shop's work area.> Never use fans or open windows in place of proper ventilation.> Avoid using ozone-generating air-cleaning devices. Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to even relatively low levels of ozone.
For more information on ventilation, see "Doesn't This Smell Bother You?" in the May 2009 issue or go to www.nailsmag.com/resources/handouts.aspx and check out "Guidelines for Controlling and Minimizing Inhalation Exposure to Nail Products."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fans to pay half fare on regular routes, $5 to park and ride
With the start of the season fast approaching, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are moving forward with a pay-as-you-go transportation plan to get people to Investors Group Field this season.
The CFL club announced Thursday those taking Winnipeg Transit to Investors Group Field events will have to pay the regular transit fare. The Bombers will cover the ride home, meaning a round trip will cost fans $2.55 to watch their local football team live.
The club is also asking patrons to chip in on the park-and-ride program, charging $5 per person for those wanting to use the service.
Last year, both transit and the park-and- ride program were free for ticket holders. This time, though, the club was forced to come up with a way to help control transportation costs after the city rescinded a transit proposal that would have seen the club receive a discounted rate. That proposal saw the city offer the Bombers transit subsidies worth approximately $650,000 this year.
Winnipeg Transit recommended the subsidy in April, after five months of negotiations aimed at reducing the burden for the non-profit football club. The Bombers are expected to make a $4.5-million principal-and-interest payment this year on $85 million worth of loans that helped build Investors Group Field, its year-old home at the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus.
In a May 27 statement from the city, acting chief administrative officer Deepak Joshi said the Bombers no longer need the transit subsidy due to the club's "robust financial situation" -- a reference to a $2.9-million profit reported by the club for the 2013 season.
Unhappy with the about-face, the Bombers huddled and came up with a new game plan, passing some of the costs down to the fans.
"This new plan will help offset some of the transportation costs by about one-third," said Bomber president and CEO Wade Miller.
Miller estimates the transportation cost for 2014 could be as much as $1.25 million. A third of that is just more than $412,000.
In 2013, the city charged the football club $1.1 million, or about $11 per person, to transport fans to and from events at Investors Group Field. The city intended to increase that to $1.25 million, or about $12.50 per person, this year.
Last year, an average of 10,000 people took buses to events at Investors Group Field.
Miller expects a few pockets of discontent over the new transportation plan -- expect delays at Winnipeg Transit stops while Blue and Gold-clad fans fumble with their change stepping onto the bus -- but his overall sense is Bombers supporters understand the reality facing the club on game days.
"At our Fan Fest over the weekend, people told me, 'We're OK with paying our own way, Wade, you do what you need to do and we're comfortable with paying our own way to get down to the stadium,' " Miller said, adding he doesn't anticipate a rework of the plan should problems arise mid-season.
"The plan is the same as last year, that's the important thing. We wanted to make sure we didn't interrupt the service level because at the end of the year all the bugs got worked out. It was a successful plan that the Bombers and Winnipeg Transit put together."
Besides shelling out for a ride, the biggest change will be for the park-and-ride users.
Approximately 130 school buses will in operation for the park and ride program, up significantly from the 50-75 buses used last year on game days.
The park-and-ride will include the same eight routes as last year. Buses leave 90 minutes before kickoff, and the last bus leaves 30 minutes before.
The service is free for the first preseason game versus Toronto Monday. The $5 charge kicks in for the June 26 regular-season opener against those same Argos.

UPDATE October 7: I've killed the boss loading bug previously mentioned (so reload the boss all you want), and a couple other wall penetrating ones too. There's a new move added, which allows you to attack from the ceiling and break necks. Check it out! (note: I just realized that doing so does not increase your stealth points, so I'll fix that in a later release)
Wink is back in a NEW game, this time to fight the dragon and rescue the princess for sure! Watch the How To to learn all his moves!

It is verrry fun! The movement is a little annoying, but the concept and story is great fun.
I reccomend it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game rules
I love this game. It's a fun stealth/platformer. The drawings are kinda simplistic, but some background effects are great. I like Wink's different moves (i.e, sticking to the ceiling and snapping necks, hiding in the shadows) and found myself preferring the default moveset to fighting with a staff. The ending was funny, and not what I expected. I also liked the, "seriously, this is a different game." All in all, this game was pretty sweet.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
better then the first one.
end was pointless put i would never guess that ending.

Divided Delaware approves gay marriage
WILMINGTON, Del. — Delaware became the 11th state to legalize same-sex marriage after a lengthy debate Tuesday in the state Senate and the surprise votes of two lawmakers.
A half-hour after the 12-9 Senate vote, Gov. Jack Markell signed the legislation into law on the main stairs in the lobby of Legislative Hall.
Democratic Sen. Bethany Hall-Long and Republican Sen. Catherine Cloutier provided the swing votes in favor of the legislation. Cloutier was the lone Republican yes vote in the Senate and one of two in the General Assembly as a whole.
According to the bill, Delawareans will be able to enter into same-sex marriages effective July 1. The law provides a mechanism for converting same-sex civil unions established in Delaware to marriages.
"I think this is the right thing for Delaware," Markell said after the vote, while posing for pictures with supporters outside his legislative office. "It took an incredible team effort."
Gay rights activists and their supporters in the chamber erupted in cheers after the vote.
Delaware's same-sex marriage bill was introduced in the Democrat-controlled Legislature last month, barely a year after the state began recognizing same-sex civil unions. The bill won passage two weeks ago in the state House on a 23-18 vote.
While it doesn't give same-sex couples any more rights or benefits under Delaware law than those they have in civil unions, supporters argued same-sex couples deserve the dignity and respect of married couples. They noted that if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which bars married gay couples from receiving federal benefits, civil unions would not provide protections or tax benefits under federal law to same-sex couples in Delaware.
Opponents, including scores of conservative religious leaders from across the state, argued same-sex marriage redefines and destroys a centuries-old institution that is a building block of society.
Under the bill, no civil unions will be performed in Delaware after July 1, and existing civil unions will be converted to marriages over the next year. The legislation states that same-sex unions established in other states will be treated the same as marriages under Delaware law.

Demographic catastrophe deepens in Armenia
10 April 2014 [12:50] -
A simplified procedure for getting Russia's citizenship will deepen demographic catastrophe in Armenia, which has faced an alarming increase in imigration in the past few years.
The Russian State Duma adopted an amended law on citizenship which simplifies the process of getting Russian citizenship by Russian-speaking compatriots.
A simplified procedure can pose a threat to Armenia and encourage many citizens to obtain Russian citizenship due to the difficult socio-economic situation in their homeland, Armenian experts believe.
The main target country for Armenian immigrants is Russia to which 95-96 percent of the immigrants go.
Armenia is still not able to avoid mass immigration. From 2008 to 2013, immigration reached 30,000-35,000 people per year. The statistics of the first quarter of 2014 is also very unpleasant.
The number of people who left Armenia by air exceeded the number of arrivals at 21,686 in the first quarter of 2014. Some 186,493 people departed from Yerevan's airport, while only 164,807 arrived at it.
The number of citizens who left Armenia in the first quarter of 2014 increased was 21,218 more than the same period in 2013.
The Armenian State Migration Service recently reported that if the share of citizens leaving the country with their family was 40 percent of the total immigration outflow some years ago, it has risen to 60 percent now.
The country's deteriorating situation has left no other choice for Armenian citizens than to leave the country for better living conditions.
Experts believe that Armenian immigrants will legalize their stay in Russia using the amended law.
The Armenian immigrants faced some problems due to the revised Russian law on immigration, effective from January 1, 2014.
The law states that the citizens of some former Soviet republics, including Armenia, have the right to stay in the territory of the Russian Federation without registration for only 90 days in every 180 days. This means that Armenian citizens cannot continuously live in Russia for more than six months.
Yerevan has asked Moscow to simplify the visa regime for Armenian immigrant. The Secretary of the Armenian National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan addressed a letter to his Russian counterpart Nikolay Patrushev and requested some changes in the Russian immigration legislation.
Baghdasaryan and Patrushev signed an agreement on the regulations for Armenian immigrants' stay and work in Russia on April 8. The details of the document are not disclosed.
The Armenian authorities achieved simplification of the Russian law on immigration, which undoubtedly will give an additional impetus for immigration from Armenia. These simplifications seem to leave Armenia with few citizens.

Commissioner Corner Message Board
Thank you Allison, but don't trust my advice too much, I often get it wrong.
I certainly will Greg. Cheers.
Ended up with all 3 of my QBs playing today...Which should in I start??? Romo, Stafford or Wilson??? Thanks,
I have both and am playing both but I would agree with everyone else and play TY who can explode for a big TD at any point in the game.
PPR Tate and Standard Evans
anyone else? Need 2
Who to start standard scoring.
Romo should have a great day.
Play Tate
Tough call but I would go Ingram in a bounce back game
It is impossible to predict so everyone is always wrong. But I was leaning towards Bryant anyway so your response helped me make the decision.
I have 3 possible choices and need to take 2 of them. ryan mathews against baltimore. Gio Bernard against tampa but he seems like he is now into some sort of time share. and Dan Herron who is taking over for Bradshaw and is getting his share of touches. This is a Full PPR league.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all. -
Romo then Stafford then Wilson
Bump! Any more opinions?
ouch. I would still go Bush as long as he is active. I don't really like the rest of them.
if you are in a public league, they only allow 1 IR spot. If you are in a league run by a commissioner then they set the setting on IR and IR+ spots.
Happy thanksgiving. I would go Gio and actually take a flier on Herron. We all know T Rich and how bad he is.
Browns fan? Must be nice to have Josh Gordon back.
Thanks.... Had Romo already in, but just wanted to see what yall thought..

NEW YORK — As with people, some dogs always expect the worst, according to research suggesting that pessimistic pups are also more likely to have behaviour problems.
The study of 24 dogs was reported this week in the journal Current Biology.
Here's how it worked: The animals were trained to expect an empty food bowl at one position in a room, and one with food at another. When the vittles were placed elsewhere, some dogs ran to the bowls and others ignored them, the researchers said.
That suggests the dogs had different expectations, the researchers said. The pessimists – those who didn't go quickly to the bowls – were also found to have behaviour problems when left alone. This included tearing up furniture or relieving themselves indoors.
While about a third of dogs have separation anxiety, only the worst cases are treated, said Emily Blackwell, an animal behaviourist at the University of Bristol in England.
"We tried to come up with a way of measuring the dog's attitude," said Blackwell, a study author, in a telephone interview. Many owners "think the dog is trying to get revenge by chewing up their slippers – they don't understand the dog is anxious."
There isn't a connection between breed and misbehaviour in Blackwell's previous research, she said. Instead, the dogs are misbehaving because they weren't trained at any early age to know that being alone isn't something to be concerned about. The process of training a dog to know how to behave, called socialization, is best done during puppyhood, Blackwell said.
Although later training can undo bad behaviour, it requires a great deal of work and effort, she said.
Training a puppy is important for dogs, said Adam Goldfarb, the director of the Pets at Risk program for the Humane Society of the United States, based in Washington. The study shows that dogs who aren't socialized well have a negative attitude about life, he said. Goldfarb wasn't involved in the study.
"This tells us something that isn't reflected in the way every dog is cared for," Goldfarb said in a telephone interview. "A dog who is being destructive is a dog whose needs aren't being met."
