Learn the basics of python in this interactive walkthrough room.
Welcome to the Introduction to Python room.
With this room, we aim to provide users with a basic understanding of the programming language Python, how it works and provide some ideas as to how you can use this to aid you.
*Please note, that some tasks have questions to answer before completing in the section and you will have to type
truee or
false. This isn't a spelling mistake more a deterrent to just looking at the answer field and putting in the answer with that amount of characters!*
Throughout this room, we will touch on subjects such as:
- Variables
- Loops
- Functions
- Data Structures
- Libraries (PIP)
- Files
- Vim or a text editor of your choice. (Note you can use an IDE if you'd prefer)
- Python 3.7 Installed

To begin we will create a simple hello world program as it's a staple for everyone when they are learning a new language.
Now, this might surprise some of you but it is actually a lot easier than you may think. See the example below.
As you can see it's just one line and when we run, it will output
Hello World. Now let's break this down.
The way we can control Python into printing something into our terminal is by using
print() anything inside of the parenthesis
() will be printed into the users terminal. However, because we are printing a string (More on these in task 3) we have to put them inside of quotations
Another key piece of syntax we will be using is
input() This is the primary way we will be taking user input. See below for examples of how we would go about using input.
Anything that is placed within the parenthesis will be printed into the terminal, this is used as a common way to prompting the user what is expected to be entered.
|Section Complete
In this section, we will be going over operators and how they can be applied to Python to increase the complexity of our scripts but also give us added control over what we are doing and how we check stuff.
Below in the table, we have the different types of mathematical logic that we can apply within the program.
|Floor Division
Now we know these we can start using them in our programs like so:
It is key to note you can also store these in variables like so:
a = 10 + 5
Now we know basic mathematical operators let's move on to comparison operators, these play a big part in Python and will be built upon in the next topic when we look at loops and if statements.
|Greater than
|Less than
|Equal to
|Not Equal to
|Greater than or equal to
|Less than or equal
We will cover these in much more detail in the next section as it is easier to show how these can be used with if statements.
|What is the name of >
|What is the name of !=
|1 != 0 will this return true or false (T or F)
|What is the name of <=
|Will this sample code return truee or false
|Section Complete
Logical operators come in handy when we want to string sequences together for this I will show you an example of an or statement.
*Please note that there are examples that include if statements which we will be covering in more detail in the next section!*
Let's break down this following piece of example code and explain how the OR statement works:
So if we want to break this down. The statement will print "it worked", if a is equal to 1 or b is equal to 3. This will return True and so execute!
Note that if neither variable meets the requirements it will skip to the else statement which will print "it failed"
I won't be showing examples of all of these operators as I want you to go and explore these amazing pieces of syntax as I believe the best way to learn is through some form of trial and error!
If you're familiar with boolean logic
OR and
NOT will come easily enough however
IS and
IN have some interesting features.
When we look at
IN you can use this to check for something matching within a data type in this example we use a variable named a. If we run the following example it will search for "thm" within the given variable and if it finds it, will print the contents of a.
Now there are a number of applications for this however, this can be extremely useful when it comes to Capture the Flags and challenge rooms as you can create a program that once ran, will check through all files that you specify hunting for the flag prefix! It's always a pretty neat tool to have!
This pretty much covers logic, you probably noticed I didn't give examples for everything and that was intended. You can now go forth and research the missing links and develop your ability to research and gather information. If you need any help to be sure to head over to the discord and ask away, there are some really talented programmers in there!
|Section Complete
Data Types
One of the key things used within programming and Python is variables, which by definition are values that can be modified depending on conditions and information passed to the program. However, before we look into variables we need to understand data types and how each one differs.
The basic data types used in this room will be as follows:
|Data Type
|A value that can only be True or False.
True or
|Strings are used to define text instead of numbers
"Blu3 1snt b7r0k3n - DorkStar"
|Solid numbers
|Decimal numbers such as 4.6
|A series of different data types stored in a collection.
|Similar to a list. However, Dictionaries have some interesting features we will discuss as you delve deeper into this section
{1:"one", 2:"two", 3:"three"}
No matter what programming language you decide to learn, you will find variables are a key part of them.
To look into variables you will need to understand that there are two types of variables, those being; Global and local. For now, we will only discuss local variables in theory however, we will discuss them further in the functions section of this room.
Global variables are any variable defined outside of a function and so can be accessed by any part of the program, compared to locals which are variables placed within a function. in turn, this also means that you can only access that variable within the function.
Please see below you'll see how we structure variables and how they look within our program and also how global and local variables will look.
String, integer and boolean examples
List and dictionary examples
Example of global and local variables
However, as previously stated please don't look too much into local variables before the next task as that is when we will cover these in more detail and how they can be used.
Expanding on our last section we can take user input and store them in variables, this is in-fact one of the most useful features we have to take user input as seen below we can do it in one line.
To expand on this code, we can add
print(name) to print the contents of a variable:
One key thing to note with variables is that when we pass data to a variable from user input, it will by default be a string.
Note that we can change this quite simply with:
Note that
type(a) is only going to return what data type this variable is. In this case, it will return as an integer!
We can change variables from one to another with ease with these following commands:
int() – Converts a given parameter to an integer data type
str() – Converts a given parameter to a string data type
float() – Converts a given parameter to a float data type
bool() – – Converts a given parameter to a boolean data type (True or False)
Whatever is passed inside the parathesis will be converted into that corresponding data type.
It is key to note that if you try to convert a string into an int or float, it will return an error!
|What data type is 13
|What data type is "65"
|What data type is 62.193
|Section Complete
Functions play a massive part when it comes to Python and many other languages, Python has a unique way of creating them as instead of them being called functions they are known as definitions, we would create one as follows:
def exampleFunction():
Here's a very basic function we have created that returns the name.
As we can see we have set up our function so that when we execute it we are going to ask the user for a name. This will then be stored within the name variable.
To close off the name is given with a return, this is the standard syntax to tell the program that you want to exit the function.
It's also a good thing to mention now that the name variable within the userName function is known as a local variable as previously mentioned in the last task.
Reinforcing what we mentioned these variables are only usable within these functions as well.
We can pass functions parameters when we are creating it for example if we wanted to create a basic room assignment function we could do
def assign(creator, topic):
As you can see our function is expecting two pieces of data when it is called, those being creator and topic.
As you can see in the image below, the data passed in using variables don't have to match when it's being called.
These names are merely there for accessing the data within the function:
In the image, we are passing name and assignment, even though the parameters are named creator and assignment.
This just about covers the basics of functions within Python. There are other uses for them and also ways that they can be used, though that can be extra reading for you.
|Section Complete
So now we have covered quite a bit in the room. let's cover something that will take everything you've learnt and escalate it onto another level!
One of the most useful tools in any programming language is the ability to loop and having the ability to decide which part of code to execute at any given time. As you may have seen in past sections we have used examples of if statements, however, now we shall go over them in a bit more detail and break them down!
If Statements
This is possibly one of the most useful tools in our arsenal when we combine it with logic from the previous task.
To begin, if statements are structured like so:
this is a basic if statement, as you can see we start with
if then we have our criteria that if met and the output would be
True will perform whatever we have in that code block, else we shall do what is under the
else: statement
In this example, if a is equal to 1 it will "do something".
If a is not equal to 1 it will "do this"
This is a very basic intro to if statements as we saw in the last task we can do stuff that uses boolean logic to make these more complex, we can also make them more complex by adding more clauses into it. This can be done with an
elif statement.
Let's take a look at a code snippet and break it down:
So to begin we have our
name variable set to optional
if name is equal to optional it'll print out that "optional created this room".
The new piece of syntax that we introduced is
elif name == "skidy": as you can see this adds an extra piece of complexity and allows us to determine what piece of code we will execute if we set name to skidy. It would print "all praise our lord and saviour". If the name doesn't match either, we simply get "blue isn't broken". Which, as we all know, it is. Sorry Dark <3
We can also implement boolean logic into our if statements with the use of
OR and
Let's say for example we wanted to perform two checks before a block of code executed we would do this:
Here we have an example of
AND logic. The only way we execute the print statement for "the one true cactus" is if the name is pars and role is cactus. Else we get imposter.
Hopefully, that clears up a little confusion you may have had if you did the last task and the if statement threw you out.
|Section Complete
Now we're moving onto loops, these are another fundamental part of this and equally as important as if statements as it allows us to iterate and perform actions a number of times.
Within Python, there are two types of loops, those being
for and
while loops.
While Loops
Let's begin by looking at how we structure a while loop, to do this we need to decide whether we want the loop to run indefinitely or how many iterations we want to it to execute. To begin we will look at the basic syntax of an infinite loop.
*Please note that this loop will only execute if you stop it manually! Just in case you get stuck, the shortcut is
ctrl + c*
while True:
Here we have our example. To begin our
while parameter.
Because we are providing True as our parameter, the loop will run infinitely, until terminated or unless we use
break: to terminate the loop.
Let's take a look at how we could make it iterate for a number of times.
Just note this may look slightly more complicated as I have started to increase the complexity and added += to create our counter with less typing.
Note that doing
i += 1 is the same as
i = i + 1
we have started by creating our variable i and setting it to 0. We then have:
while i <= 10:
So what this is saying is, if i is less than or equal to 10, it will execute what we have in our loop.
In this example, it will print out the value of i. Resulting in a list of numbers!
As you can see, because we have set our counter to 0 it started printing at 0, if we had
i += 1 before the print statement our print would end up printing 1-11 instead of 0-10. It's crucial to keep that in mind when working with counters and while loops. Note that if we wanted it to print out our counter, exactly 10 times instead of 11, we would just use a
less than operator!
Now we've briefly covered while loops let's check out for loops.
For Loops
Similar to while loops except these are slightly more structured. Let's take a look at how we use them with a basic show:
For this, we will use a list as our example data type. We have specified three entries those being Skidy, Ashu and Dork.
then we have our for loop. We structure it as
i in admins which will iterate for every entry within that list and because of the
print(i) it will print each entry as it goes along. See below for the output of this script.
This is how we can go about iterating with datasets. However, a common use for this type of loop is iterating x amount of times which we can do with the following:
When we use range(0,10) we are telling to program that we want to iterate it however many times it takes to reach the second field. Let's break it down:
first parameter = start point
second parameter = end point
Now, this is the key part. You can include a third parameter to tell the program the size of the increment. (By default this is 1)
third parameter = how much to increment
so you could do
for i in range(0, 20, 2):
and it will increment by two
If we run it in the previous code snippet this would be the output.
Lastly, before we finish this section, we can add else statements to this similar to an if statement. This is a basic way of implementing them into your code:
This code snippet would produce this result:
There we go, that covers loops for now. There are more advanced methods to use these for, however, for now, you should be able to understand loops and if statements.
|Section Complete
Well, you've come a long way so let's begin on learning how you can interact with files with Python. This feature is actually really useful and can come in handy with more than just text files.
Let's begin with how we want to tell the program what we want to do. Before we begin we need to create a variable to open a file. Take a look at this code snippet and we'll break it down after.
Right so as you can see it's quite simple. If the program is in the same directory as the file you wish to interact with you can simply put the name where we see
file_name. However, if it isn't we can specify a path e.g
The other part is the
mode. Now, this is quite important so let's display this in a table. Because who doesn't love a good table right!
|Read-only mode, cannot
modify the file.
|This will write data to a file.
Note that if the file already exists
it will be erased!
|This will put data at the end of a file
|Special Read + Write
|This mode has the ability to read
and write to files
*Please note there are other modes which you can find in the support information below*
Right, so now we know the basics of how we open a file and specify which mode we want to use, let's look at some examples as to how this actually works. Let's take a look at reading a file.
This code snippet shows us that we will open a file named test.txt in read mode and then print the contents of the file.
We can also pass an integer value to the parameters within read() to print the specified number of characters.
Test.txt contains the following:
We can also tell it to read lines of the file, for this we can do
file.readlines() this will print out each line of the file that we have opened, or we can do
file.readline() which will print a line every time it is called, this can be called multiple times, to print the subsequent lines. If we run the following code:
This will print out:
As we are learning here this is fine. However, this will print the new lines too, so there will be an additional new-line. You will soon find that this is really inefficient so let's put this into a loop.
We can do this like so:
So as we learnt in the last section we provide a variable which the for loop will use. This will be called
line each time it prints
line and will end with
This is a nice, optimised way of printing out each line of the file and better yet, it's dynamic so will loop until every line is printed!
Here is how our output would look:
Right so let's check out how we can use the "w" mode to write files.
So we know that our test.txt contains test1 through 4. So let's write something to this file.
As you can see we simply replace
.read() with
.write() and enter what we want to output into the file.
The notable interaction here is that when we run this, the contents of test.txt will be overwritten and it will only contain our desired text!
Append doesn't really require any special notes except for when you use the
.write() it will enter it at the end of the file and once you have written you should use
To tell the program that you have finished modifying it.
We then have r+ which as we know from the start of the task will open in read and write. There isn't really much more to that after you know about read and write modes.
Anyway, there are byte modes which I have added some links below to some additional reading which will discuss it further.
|Section Complete
To begin we will introduce you to the Python virtual environment.
This is a great tool to use when developing larger projects using Python as it allows you to create an allocated space in which it will keep track of any packages you've installed using pip. (There will be more on pip and the uses it holds in the next section!)
For this room, we'll be working within a Python virtual environment as it's a good practice to get into.
To begin you may need to install virtualenv so please ensure you have installed with as shown below.
sudo apt install virtualenv
It's key to note that when installing this, it will also install the latest version of Python. So if you don't have it. You'll kill two birds with one stone.
Once the installation has finished up, we can start by creating our environment with the following command:
virtualenv --python=python3 introduction
So let's break down what this command is doing:
virtualenv– Telling the terminal what we want to run.
--python=python3– This is specifying which version of Python we want our environment to be in
introduction– Simply a name for our environment
Now that we have our virtual environment set up we can activate it using
source introduction/bin/activate
Now we are within our environment we can do what we like.
Once you have finished using your environment, you can use
deactivate to close it.
deactivating our virtual env
|Section Complete
This is the final section for the introduction to Python room, so let's use what we have learnt in the previous task and use virtualenv. However, before we progress forward, you will need to ensure you have pip3 installed, you can do this as follows:
sudo apt install python3-pip
Pip is what python uses to install packages, these are extremely useful and are utilised by some of the challenges on the TryHackMe platform will require you to install tools using pip! *cough cough* you know who you are!
Let's start up our virtual environment, and begin by looking at the basic structure of a pip install:
pip3 install name
for this example, we'll use pwntools, you can install this like so:
pip3 install pwntools
This will then install and we can find them within our virtual environment!
If you navigate into your bin directory within this environment, where you'll see that it has installed. This is the main reason we use virtual env, as it helps us keep track of our packages and they will only be available within the environment!
Using pip we can also install requirement files that may be supplied when working with tools from sites such as Github. We can install these with the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
We can import these libraries using the syntax for import. As shown in the following code snippet we can specify which modules of these libraries we want to import:
Note, that we place x with what module we would like to import! You can always replace x with an * and it will import the entire package
We can also choose to import a library without specifying any modules, this can be done as follows:
import os
example of full import
This imports the os module and allows us to run system commands. In this example, we run whoami.
Note that because we simply imported the package, we have to specify which package it is from at the start.
If we re-wrote the import to look like this:
from os import *
You could simply run:
This pretty much sums up the pip and libraries section of this room so thank you for reaching this point!
I hope you have enjoyed the room and if you have any questions or need any help, feel free to jump on the TryHackMe Discord and ask questions!
|Section Complete!
Well, you didn't think I would leave you without a challenge?
You'll find a file attached to this task called encoded_flag.txt. Within this file, you will find some encoded information! This is your challenge as follows;
Using the base64 library within python. Can you decode this and retrieve the flag? Note this has been encoded a total of 15 times. Be sure to read from the file provided and the documentation for the base64 library. This will allow you to discover the syntax to aid with this challenge!
from base64 import *
5 times encoded using base 32
5 times encoded using base 16!
Good luck and thank you for going through the room! I hope that you have learnt something with this room and if you have anything you believe should be added, reach out to me on the TryHackMe discord!
– optional
|Enter the decoded flag to complete the room!
Only subscribers can deploy virtual machines in this room! Go to your profile page to subscribe (if you have not already).
here is the solution :
from base64 import * with open('encodedflag.txt','r') as f: line = f.read() for _ in range(5): line = b16decode(line) for _ in range(5): line = b32decode(line) for _ in range(5): line = b64decode(line) print(line)

Great Wakering Gardeners Essex (SS3): Don't get stressed out if your garden in Great Wakering is looking unkempt and you simply can't spare the time to sort it out, there's still the possibility of calling in some outside assistance. Think carefully before you hire someone, as lots of people in Great Wakering do a bit of gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. While it is not essential to have horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Great Wakering area will have gained a whole lot more knowledge than that "chap down the road" is likely to have.
You want your precious garden to be respectfully treated by somebody who knows precisely what they're doing. Therefore, be certain to identify a gardener in Great Wakering who you know you can rely on. Trees and shrubs might require expert management, meaning this is more vital than ever. Don't settle for less than the best.
All gardens, whether large or small need regular upkeep and maintenance with lots of jobs to be done. With the arrival of spring the frequency with which such tasks need attending to increases. Typical jobs that Great Wakering people need doing in their gardens include: weeding borders, general cleaning, cutting the grass and cutting back hedges. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: patio installation, green waste clearance, repairs to fences and driveway cleaning.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Great Wakering gardener will expect this. Big projects such as hard landscaping may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required.

Maternal critical care admissions: clinical characteristics and outcomes in an Obstetric High Dependency Unit (OHDU) in Colombia, Latin America.
Abstract Number: 85
Abstract Type: Original Research
OBJECTIVES: To review a group of critically ill pregnant patients admitted to an OHDU. We describe diagnoses at admission, clinical conditions, main causes of morbidity and mortality, interventions and length of stay at the unit.
DESIGN: Retrospective, chart review that includes pregnant patients until the 42nd postpartum day admitted between November 1st 2005 to November 30th 2008.
RESULTS: 819 patients (Age 28. 2 + 7.6 years, gestational age 31 + 4 weeks) (mean + SD) of 24.749 births were included. The overall OHDU admission rate was 3.3 % (3.309 admissions per 100.000 deliveries). APACHE II score was 9.13 + 6.2 (mean + SD) with 11.62% of predicted mortality; standardized mortality ratio was 0.07. 64% of the patients were admitted antepartum.
Obstetric conditions were responsible for 671 admissions (82%) mainly severe preeclampsia including HELLP syndrome 50.5% and hemorrhage 23.2%. Preexisting cardiac disease was the main non obstetrical cause of admission. Interventions included invasive blood pressure 601(73.5%), central venous pressure 221 (27.05%), pulmonary artery catheter 45 (5.4%), mechanical ventilation (MV) 51 (6.2 %) and renal replacement therapy in 16 (1.95%).
The average length of stay at the unit was 58 hours (24-360). 9 patients were transferred to a polyvalent ICU; the main reason was need for prolonged MV, or to be evaluated for other subspecialties.
There were 7 maternal deaths (0.85%) with an APACHE II 29.5 + 2.4 (mean + SD).The main cause was multiple organ dysfunction originated in hemorrhagic events in 57%, amniotic fluid embolism 14.2%, septic shock secondary to abortion 14.2% and acute fatty liver of pregnancy 14.2%. All the patients were admitted at the unit in the postpartum or post abortion period. Perinatal deaths were 42 corresponding to 8% from the total of patients admitted antepartum.
DISCUSSION: The reported incidence of admission to the ICU varies between 0.17 and 2.6 per 1000 deliveries. There are a few reports in obstetric ICU admissions from developing countries showing mortality rate ranged from 28 to 60%. Notwithstanding this incidence, we don�t have information about the incidence of the need of critical care in obstetrics patients in Colombia.
The main finding in our study was that using the concept of lower admission threshold, expressed as number of admissions per 100,000 deliveries, allows us to obtain better results expressed like low values of morbidity, mortality and minor length of stay. As previously shown in most reports of critically ill obstetric patients, APACHE II score overpredicted mortality.
The use of designed services for critical care exclusively for the pregnant patient is very useful in developing countries with high values of maternal mortality and morbidity.
Mortality continues being associated with severe hemorrhage and the efforts in an adapted handling of these cases must be priority.

By Fidelity Equity Portfolio Managers and Raji Menony
The coronavirus pandemic has caused some extreme market dislocations as economies around the world are shut down and people stay at home. As further fiscal and monetary stimulus feeds through, markets should begin to stabilise, creating buying opportunities for long-term investors in sectors where companies have sufficient balance sheet strength to survive. These will emerge even before the spread of Covid-19 is entirely arrested and economic activity normalises fully.
Earnings recession together with an economic recession
US stocks have lost more than a quarter of their peak values in February. While this is less than the 50 per cent falls seen during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the current market correction has been swifter and more dramatic. Volatility has been exacerbated by the short-selling bans in Europe, hedge funds deleveraging and risk parity strategies cutting equity exposure. This has resulted in some puzzling market distortions where some of the poorer quality companies that were shorted by hedge funds have fared well, while some of the stronger companies that were hedge fund long positions have fallen in value.
Jeremy Podger, Portfolio Manager, Global Equities, notes: "This is what happens in highly volatile periods of the market – few movements can be justified by fundamentals, and nearly everything can be explained by positioning and forced actions by participants who cannot or choose not to hold their ground."
Valuation opportunities
We believe that certain stocks look cheap compared to their long-term value. For investors, the key is to understand how resilient companies are in balance sheet and cash flow terms, in order to survive the current crisis, and to judge their long-term franchise value. Companies with high leverage have been sold off across the board, understandably in some cases, where liquidity is tight and operational gearing high. There are situations, however, where debt is high but debt maturities are well-managed, liquidity is strong and management teams are doing all the right things to mitigate the effects of the crisis.
And while it's difficult to place absolute valuations on some of the companies that have suffered most severely - in some cases falling by 50 per cent in this month alone - we believe some of these names are trading very close to trough levels. From a price-to-book or price-to-sales perspective, these stocks now offer compelling value.
Angel Aguido, Portfolio Manager, US Equities, says: "The current macro scenario forced by Covid-19 is like nothing we have seen in recent history. Revenues of some sectors will go to zero. This is brutal for the short-term financials of every company in that situation. However, it will have little lasting impact on the value of a company if it can weather the months ahead."
Opportunities in specific sectors
We see opportunities to add to some of the less economically sensitive stocks that have been hit by indiscriminate selling. These include technology, consumer staples, food retailing, pharmacies, healthcare and ecommerce.
Valuation spreads between similar companies in technology, insurance and healthcare are at record levels and this clearly presents an opportunity. In the insurance sector, for instance, shares in Sampo Holdings were down by around 40 per cent year-to-date prior to the recent bounce, trailing peers such as MS&AD by 15 per cent or more, even though its business model is similar and shareholder payouts are healthier.
Many discretionary sectors such as hotels, cruise lines, airlines, restaurants have shut down almost completely. Many of these companies have a big fixed cost base and are priced as at risk of default. However, not all are the same and some will have enough liquidity, no imminent debt calls and experienced management teams. These will be able to survive and possibly thrive after this crisis, which will see at least a part of the competition eliminated.
For Royal Dutch Shell, a major divergence has opened up between the valuation of its A and B shares. The valuation of engineering giant Siemens as a whole fell to the same level as its smaller listed offshoots Siemens Healthineers and Gamesa. These situations cannot be explained by fundamentals and do create opportunities.
Utilities stocks have also underperformed significantly in the sell-off, falling 34 per cent at one stage compared to a 25 per cent drop in the S&P 500. In many cases, the balance sheets and liquidity positions of these companies are healthy, and some of these names are now trading at 15 times price-to-earnings multiples compared to 20 times at the start of the year. Stable earnings and cash flows make them an attractive bet in an uncertain economic environment.
Finally, some Japan and China-related companies are now approaching 2008 valuations. With expectations that Asia will emerge from this crisis earlier than the rest of the world - and with a massive fiscal boost, we see opportunities in some retailers, rail operators and leisure companies that have been severely sold off.
"I feel much more confident that the downturn is discounted when I see price-to-book ratios getting close to Lehman levels, particularly small-caps which have moved very quickly," says Nicholas Price, Portfolio Manager, Japanese Equities.
Roadmap to recovery
Unlike previous crises such as the Asian currency collapse or the US tech bubble, the coronavirus pandemic's effect on markets is truly global. This creates an environment in which investors are forced to reduce risk as markets fall, leading to periodic waves of panic selling. The real positive for Western markets is there is a roadmap to recovery in the form of China's example.
Once the dust settles, we believe that companies that can survive the current crisis and are oversold, will recover sharply. Already this week, markets rallied on the back of the $2 trillion US stimulus bill and unlimited quantitative easing unleashed by the Federal Reserve, with sectors such airlines reversing some of their steep falls.
The road ahead is unlikely to be smooth, but long-term investors can embrace the volatility and look for new opportunities that arise from it, while continuing to ask themselves whether the companies in which they invest have the right characteristics to endure this difficult period.

Simle object (25x25x12) from polished stainless steel mirrors the sky and surrounding landscape.
Building of the museum from André Lambert from 1894 started to have problems with spaces very early. Therefore some extensions were realized in south and west parts in the past. In 2001 the competition for another extension, which was supposed to solve the problem with spaces, was announced.
Small pavilion from larch wood is located at the foot of the mountains. Originally the project should be open-air tea room, but during the construction investor changed his mind and the structure is without clear purpose, just for relaxation. It is possible to close the pavilion with shutters from polished stainless steel.
Silevet objects scattered in the oldest district are one of the 3 direction of the develpoment of Bejing, which were introduced during Biennale. Three years later, one of them was realized - as a staircase and new bathroom of the old building. The bubbles are supposed to solve hygienic problems and need of renovation in this district.
La Defense is large administrative complex with inner courtyard to which entrances of particular buildings are turned. While facades facing the city are typical "office", glass facades turned to the inner block have integrated colour foil, which changes colours according to the angle of the sun.
Mirrors and gradations of shading point foils create feeling of dancing in the fog. Architects used characteristics of these materials very effectively in this case.

WE'VE SEEN EVERY sort of proposal there can be, from short films, to specially-designed Monopoly boards, to proposals made of bacon.
But every so often, one comes along that manages to be completely original.
Redditor lapike spent two weeks designing a video game proposal for his girlfriend, Lauren – then he had her playing it, letting on it was just another game he was developing.

The game was based on real-life details, and included their first date, trips away together, and pieces of music that are special to them.
It took Lauren around 25 minutes to play it through – at the end of the game, the screen faded to black, and this message appeared:
Then, he got down on one knee… And an emotional Lauren said yes. Adorable!

What are some of your favorite toys from your childhood?
Let's name some of our favorite toys from our childhoods. Do any of you collect them or still have some of them around?:cool:
That would depend on the age as to the toy. Slingshots, BB guns and Hot Wheels for a while then came fishing and after that girls :D after that I can not think of much maybe real guns and hunting.

Here's a favorite!Attachment 997 I adored Liddle Kiddles! This is just one of many different ones!!!
Mine was a piece of rope and a bag of rice.:)
Well i would say the original nintendo, mainly Mike Tysons Punch Out or Kung Fu(because that was the only games we had. Does a bicycle count:shoethrow: :shoethrow: :question: :question:
Okay Pokie, where I lived as a child we had alot of pidgeons. So I would make me a loop in one end, put it out in the yard and put some rice or bread inside the loop. I would take the other end of the rope and hide inside our shed at the back of the house. When a pidgeon would go in the loop I would jerk it to catch him. The bird would fly and I had the other end of the rope yelling DADDY! He would come out laughing because I would not let that rope go. He would put the pigeon in a bird cage, when I wasn't looking he would let it go and tell it got out, so off I'd go with the rope and the rice again. I would sit out there for hours waiting on a pidgeon. It taught me patience.:laugh:
Old toys
Everyone had a "slinky" didn't they? And an "eight ball". And what about those damn paddle and attached ball on a rubber band? I couldn't work that any better than I could the "hula hoop", but I had both at one time or another.
Never played with rope and rice but we did play a game in the woods called "three steps to Germany." The little kids would hide and the big kids would find us and question us.... ( which included some roughing up ) I never understood the game and it went out of style by the time I was old enough to be one of the "Germans".

I loved my Chatty Cathy doll! You pulled a string in her back and she could say all kinds of things like...." I love my mommy.":)
I had this Nerf Tri-Plane, you know, a Fokker (no jokes, please), just like the "Red Baron" flew. I loved the damn thing, but it didnt fly worth a crap. Legos, and modeling clay, had a blast with those. And of course, the toy guns. Had this one toy gun in particular, was clip-fed, and shot these white plastic lozenge- shaped projectiles...been lookin for one of those ever since. Guess they dont make em anymore. Slinkies sucked, you could never get em to go down the stairs by themselves as they were advertised to do, which we all concluded to be bullsh*t. But some of the best stuff was what ya made yourself. If ya had a pocket knife, you'd just hunt around for a block of wood and whittle somethin out of it...sometimes it turned out great, sometimes it didnt, but it was fun gettin there.

Barbies!!!! Lots and Lots of Barbies. I am sure JoePole probably played with them too!

Attachment 1030
When I got a little older I ditched the dolls and began to play with bigger toys! My siblings and I would ride these all over the surrounding neighborhoods and the streets. I'm a small town girl so we just got a warning if we got caught. :D
Johnny Astro!
Thats a toy folks!

Georgia court overturns contempt conviction of Lesbian mother
Georgia court overturns contempt conviction of Lesbian mother
Courtesy of the ACLU
A long nightmare has ended for Elizabeth Hadaway, who was convicted of criminal contempt of court last year for not handing her daughter over to foster care after she lost custody solely because she's a Lesbian. A year and one day after a county court judge sentenced Hadaway to 10 days in jail, the Georgia Court of Appeals today overturned her contempt conviction. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented her in the appeal and secured the little girl's return home from foster care last May, applauded the court's decision.
"Just yesterday I was watching Emma hunt for Easter eggs and thinking how the possibility of going to jail and being separated from her again made it hard to just enjoy the moment," said Elizabeth Hadaway, a 29-year-old paramedic who first took in the little girl when the child's biological mother asked her to raise and adopt Emma. "I'm just so grateful that the court has lifted this burden so we can move on and I can keep focused on making sure Emma has a happy home and a good life."
Hadaway's struggle began in 2006, when a Wilkinson County Superior Court judge was on the verge of granting her request to permanently adopt Emma when he noticed in a home study that Hadaway was living with her female partner of seven years. The judge abruptly changed his mind about the adoption request solely because Hadaway is a Lesbian. Although Emma's biological mother told the court that she wanted the child to be raised and adopted by Hadaway, the judge denied the adoption and ordered that Emma be sent back to her biological mother. Hadaway met with the biological mother at a truck stop to hand over the girl. After accepting custody, thus satisfying the court order, the biological mother saw how distraught Emma was at being taken from Hadaway and again insisted that Hadaway should raise the girl. Because Hadaway took Emma back, the Wilkinson County judge then ordered that Emma be sent to live in a foster home and sentenced Hadaway and her attorney to 10 days in jail for contempt of court. The sentence was stayed pending appeal.
Emma, now seven years old, was eventually returned to Hadaway's care last May after an expert commissioned by Wilkinson County Department of Children and Family Services found that the little girl was experiencing emotional trauma because of the separation from Hadaway. Next, a judge in another Georgia county granted Hadaway permanent custody. DCFS then let Emma return home, but not before she had been in foster care for three months, during which her welfare was seriously compromised.
"We're pleased that the court has agreed with us that Elizabeth Hadaway shouldn't do jail time simply for doing the right thing for her child, but it's unfortunate that it's taken almost two years of court proceedings to end up with things where Elizabeth, Emma, and Emma's biological mom wanted them to be in the first place," said Debbie Seagraves, Executive Director of the ACLU of Georgia. "Elizabeth Hadaway did everything the judge ordered her to do, and she should never have been punished."
"None of this would have ever happened if the trial court had recognized this child's needs and not been swayed by misguided beliefs about Gay people," said Ken Choe, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU's national Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project. "No child should fear being torn away from home just because his or her parents happen to be Gay."

Litigation Lawyers in Crete
If you are in Crete, Nebraska and believe that some type of legal wrong has been committed against you, and decide that seeking legal redress will be worth the time and expense involved, you may wish to file a lawsuit.
If you're considering filing a lawsuit, there are numerous things you need to consider, and it is not a decision to be made lightly. You should not file a lawsuit without seeking the advice of a Crete, Nebraska civil litigation attorney first.
Once you have hired an attorney in Crete, Nebraska, he or she will be able to help you devise a strategy on how to proceed, which will hopefully maximize your chances of success in your lawsuit. Your lawyer can also give you a rough idea of how much the lawsuit is likely to cost, taking into account court fees, expert witness fees, and other costs.
Steps for Filing a Lawsuit in Crete, Nebraska
Consultation with your attorney: Before you continue in any legal action in Crete, Nebraska, you should speak with a good local attorney in Crete, Nebraska. Your legal counsel can make sure you have the best possible chance of winning your case, and help you decide if you should file your lawsuit in the first place.
Drafting The Complaint: In Crete, Nebraska, the first step in filing a lawsuit is drafting a complaint. The complaint is a document that lays out all of your allegations against the person you're suing. It generally provides necessary background information, details the injuries you suffered, and why the person you're suing is to blame for those injuries. It also usually contains a specific "prayer" (request) for relief - a brief statement telling the court what the plaintiff is asking of it, such as monetary damages, and injunction, or other relief.
Serving The Defendant: Once you have drafted your complaint, you need to serve the defendant with it, and file it with the court. Crete, Nebraska requires that lawsuits be served on defendants in a certain way. This is to ensure that the defendant has a good deal of notice that they're being sued, giving them time to find an attorney, and work on how they're going to defend themselves. It is strongly preferred to serve defendants in person (with a disinterested third party delivering the papers to the defendant). Sometimes, however, the defendant cannot be found, or is trying to avoid service, they can be served by mail with court approval.
Await the Response: The defendant in Crete, Nebraska has an opportunity to respond to the allegations against them. They have several options in how they respond to a lawsuit. They can move to dismiss the case (arguing that, even if everything the complaint alleges is true, they would still not be liable for anything), or they can file with the court, and serve upon the plaintiff an answer. An answer is a point-by-point disposal of every allegation against the defendant. The defendant can admit the allegations, deny them, or claim that they do not have enough information to admit or deny them (which basically operates as a denial). Usually, the defendant will admit the inconsequential allegations, so they don't have to be litigated (if the lawsuit is about a car accident involving the plaintiff and defendant, they'll probably go ahead and admit that the accident took place), but deny any allegation that could establish liability, if true (they'll deny responsibility for the car accident, for example). If the defendant does not respond by the deadline, they will have a default judgment entered against them, and automatically lose the case.
How Can A Crete, Nebraska Tort Lawyer Help?
As you can see, it can be a complicated and difficult process to file a lawsuit in Crete, Nebraska, and it is, in fact, much more complicated than the basic outline you just read.
If you have suffered a legal wrong in and decide to sue the person who you believed wronged you, you should consult with a qualified Crete, Nebraska attorney.

The Latest: Booker says Dems must have 'faith in our ideals'
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa (AP) — The Latest on nearly all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates speaking at Iowa's "Wing Ding" fundraiser (all times local):
8:20 p.m.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is calling on Democrats to take on President Donald Trump with "faith in our ideals" and to "overcome his darkness with our light."
Speaking at the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding fundraiser, Booker is reminding the crowd that "we have overcome worse times and darker times."
Booker, with his voice fading after a week of outspoken advocacy for gun control on the campaign trail, is comparing the current political era to major moments in civil rights history.
He argues that "this is a referendum on us, and who we are going to be to each other." The sermon-like speech drew huge applause from the crowd.
8:05 p.m.
Bernie Sanders is warning Iowa Democrats that President Donald Trump will win re-election unless Democrats have an argument that "speaks to the pain and reality of the working families of this country."
Sanders didn't mention any of his opponents, who also are addressing the Wing Ding Dinner on Friday night in Clear Lake, Iowa.
But the Vermont senator says Democrats must take on the power of corporate America and the wealthiest individuals who bankroll the political system.
Sanders got a friendly reception at the dinner, but he's not yet finding the same groundswell in the state that propelled him to a surprising near-draw with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Iowa Democratic caucuses.
7:20 p.m.
Pete Buttigieg says President Donald Trump is "coddling white nationalism," and the South Bend, Indiana, mayor is calling on Iowa voters to help him "change the channel."
Buttigieg has received a strong response from the crowd at the Wing Ding fundraiser, with loud applause continuing through his fiery speech.
He says "white nationalism is a national security threat," telling the assembled Democratic activists and operatives to reclaim values like freedom and patriotism from conservatives.
Buttigieg says, "We've gotta do something completely different." He says he doesn't know if the Trump White House is a "horror show" or a "reality show," but the country needs new programing.
7 p.m.
Environmental activist and new presidential candidate Tom Steyer is launching his first pitch to Iowa voters by embracing his status as a billionaire.
Steyer says at the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding dinner that his business success makes him "the only person in this race" who can directly challenge fellow billionaire Donald Trump on his "fraud."
Steyer says the president's "pattern of fraud" in business and in politics depends on "lies" and sticking "others with the bill."
The California Democrat has spent millions of his own fortune advocating for action on the climate crisis, registering young voters and pushing Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump.
6:50 p.m.
Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper says the country is "embarrassed and ashamed" by President Donald Trump's "incoherent behavior on the world stage" — but he will still be very difficult to beat in 2020.
Hickenlooper is telling Iowa's "Wing Ding" fundraiser that Donald Trump's approval rating is at 42 percent, only a bit lower than Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama before they won re-election. He also says neither Reagan nor Obama had "an economy as strong as the one today."
Hickenlooper says the Democrats need to look at history to beat Trump. He's taking a swipe at the numerous Democratic senators seeking the White House, saying no senator has ever beaten a sitting president — only former governors have.
6:25 p.m.
Democratic presidential hopefuls have begun speaking at the "Wing Ding" party fundraiser in northern Iowa, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar of neighboring Minnesota kicking things off.
Klobuchar is joking about the number of candidates set to speak Friday night in the town of Clear Lake, noting the event wasn't as well attended when she addressed it previously. She says, "Last time I had 20 minutes, and this time I have 20 candidates."
Klobuchar is also mentioning last week's mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, saying President Donald Trump has stoked fear and hate nationwide.
She adds, "He is afraid of" the National Rifle Association and having "a woman in the White House."
She is urging the crowd, "Let's build a future free of fear."
4:45 p.m.
Nearly all the Democrats running for president are descending on northern Iowa to make personal pitches to hundreds of would-be supporters in the state that kicks off presidential primary voting.
Around 20 candidates are speaking at Friday night's Wing Ding, an annual fundraiser featuring chicken wings in Clear Lake, population about 8,000.
The event coincides with the state fair in Des Moines, and most White House hopefuls have been crisscrossing Iowa for days, some by bus or RV.
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke canceled his planned Iowa visit to remain in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, where a mass shooting killed 22 people.
O'Rourke said Friday on Facebook that he'll attend more funerals and continue hospital visits, but will rejoin the campaign "at some point" and "sooner or later."
