Meet Charlie! A sweetheart of a girl… yes, girl!
Charlie came to the Salem Animal Rescue League in the Spring of 2016 in need of major surgery. With your help, we raised enough money for this beautiful girl to continue life getting everything a dog needs: love, play, endless belly rubs and a second chance at a wonderful, normal life.
The Charlie Fund is a donor designated fund that provides out-of-the-ordinary surgeries for shelter pets. These surgeries are deemed life-saving for the cat or dog. Every penny of your donation is 100% tax deductible and goes to providing life-saving procedures.
Many times throughout the year, owners surrender pets because they cannot afford these unexpected events. But with your continued support, we are able to give pets the same chance that Charlie received then find a great home for them.

The apostle Paul was sitting in the barracks (imprisoned) awaiting what would happen next. In today's text we read about a conspiracy & plan to kill Paul, but by God's providential hand using a nephew, a Tribune, a Roman Army, & a letter, Paul was going to make it to Governor Felix. Do you ever look back at your life and see where God has been working & leading you? Growing & stretching you?

A man has been charged over the murder of 17 year old Georgia Williams in Shropshire
The teenager went missing from her home in Wellington near Telford on Sunday the 26th of May.
Officers have found a woman's body 50 miles away near Wrexham in north Wales. Speaking outside Wellington Police Station, Superintendent Nav Malik said:
"I can confirm that within the last hour 22-year-old Jamie Reynolds (DoB: 10/11/1990) from Wellington has been charged with the murder of Georgia Williams. He will now be appearing at Telford Magistrates' Court first thing tomorrow morning.
"Investigators have worked closely with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) throughout this enquiry and today Philip Beardwell - Crown Advocate from West Midlands CPS - has advised West Mercia Police that there is sufficient evidence, and it is in the public interest, to charge Jamie Reynolds with the murder of Georgia Williams.
"During our enquiries, sadly, late yesterday afternoon new evidence came to light that proved Georgia was deceased and that she died at an address in Wellington. For obvious legal reasons, particularly to ensure that future court proceedings are not jeopardised, we are not able to reveal further information about this evidence at this time.
"However, I can now confirm that the body of a female was found earlier this afternoon – at around 2pm - in woodland off the Nant-y-Garth pass near Wrexham. The body has not yet been formally identified but early indications suggest that the discovery relates to our investigation into the disappearance of Georgia Williams.
"Georgia's family have been kept fully informed of all the recent developments and this has only added to the devastation they are feeling about this week's events. I would like to ask that their privacy is respected so that they can attempt to come to terms with the events of the past few days.
"Although all investigations of this nature are extremely difficult, it is fair to say that this case has proved particularly challenging for all the officers and staff involved.
"We are totally committed to every investigation we launch but dealing with events that directly affect a colleague and fellow member of the policing family – especially one that many of us know so well - is unusual and has proved extremely tough and emotional for everyone.
"Although there is much more work to do on this case, I would like to thank the whole investigative team for all their efforts up to this point, especially in what have been very trying circumstances.
"Finally, on behalf of the investigative team, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that came forward with information as a result of our appeals and I'd also like to thank the press for their support and understanding during this investigation so far."

The outfield used to be a prime destination for the fantasy needs of every baseball shopper. Times have changed.
Other positions are more fruitful and stolen bases are more valuable than ever because they're not as readily available.
In 2017, outfielders accounted for 38 per cent of all plate appearance in Major League Baseball, and accordingly represented 38.9 per cent of home runs and 37.9 per cent of all RBIs. Looking at other standard categories, outfielders accounted for 41 per cent of runs scored and 54.9 per cent of stolen bases. They hit an average of .260 versus the typical .255 batting average. They were even better with on-base percentage, earning a .332 mark compared to baseball's average OBP of .324.
Combine those numbers with the reality that HRs overall are up 45.8 per cent since 2014, and RBIs increased by just 15 per cent – but stolen bases are down 29.8 per cent from their peak this decade.
The takeaway: You can get power anywhere, but steals are at a premium and the outfield is a key place to find them. Hitters who contribute 10-25 stolen bases are climbing up draft boards despite lower power numbers compared to others in similar draft spots.
With that in mind, here are the top 20 outfielders for 2018. Because many leagues require five starting OFs, we'll mention some potential values after the list:
1.Mike Trout, Angels
2.Charlie Blackmon, Rockies
3.Mookie Betts, Red Sox
4.Bryce Harper, Nationals
5.J.D. Martinez, Red Sox
6.Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees
7.Aaron Judge, Yankees
8.George Springer, Astros
9.Marcell Ozuna, Cardinals
10.Andrew Benintendi, Red Sox
11.Rhys Hoskins, Phillies
12.Justin Upton, Angels
13.Starling Marte, Pirates
14.Christian Yelich, Brewers
15.Yoenis Cespedes, Mets
16.Tommy Pham, Cardinals
17.A.J. Pollock, Diamondbacks
18.Khris Davis, Athletics
19.Byron Buxton, Twins
20.Lorenzo Cain, Brewers
These rankings reflect a 2018 trend seen so far in drafts. Fantasy players are passing on a hitter like J.D. Martinez, who is capable of 40 HRs, but no more than a handful of steals, for a player like Springer or Benintendi. Any loss in HRs and RBIs can more easily be recovered throughout the draft or on the waiver wire during the season.
Beyond these Top 20, your outfielders fall into certain categories and drafting them depends on your strategy, the players you selected early in your draft, and your propensity for risk.
Injury comebacks: Michael Conforto, Adam Eaton, and David Dahl. (Joey Gallo logged 18 OF games in 2017, which qualifies in some leagues).
Power Hitters with Low Batting Average: Kyle Schwarber, Adam Duvall
Pure Stolen Base Hitters: Billy Hamilton, Keon Broxton, Rajai Davis, Ben Revere
Outfielders with Eligibility at Other Positions: Marwin Gonzalez, Chris Taylor, Eduardo Nunez, Ian Happ (and Gallo)
Prospects Who Could Shine: Ronald Acuna, Willie Calhoun, Dustin Fowler, Eloy Jimenez
Bounceback Players: Gregory Polanco, Odubel Herrera, Corey Dickerson, Joc Pederson, Stephen Piscotty.
Draft like it's October. If you only grab two of the Top 20 outfielders (typical in a 10- or 12-team league), select outfielders who have potential to play into the tier above them. So you might select Conforto as a third or fourth outfielder, or a multi-position player like Marwin Gonzalez for roster flexibility. One approach is to select several players with 15-20 stolen base potential, and potentially use a surplus of power to trade for a speedster during the season.
There will always be speed and power options available in the outfield, but the position is not as deep as it has been in the past. Beyond the first 75 or so draft picks overall, each OF tends to come with a glaring weakness. Know what it is, and make sure you've compensated for that loss elsewhere.
If you know what you're looking for and what the risk is for each outfielder, you should do fine. But do your homework first.

Hating Mondays is almost universal, so many were disappointed when Halloween fell on a Monday this year. However, Robert Sawyer's Shakespeare course made the best of it with a costume and pizza party.
Sawyer said this isn't the first time he has held a Shakespeare-themed costume party for his class.
"We've done this on a semi-regular basis for the last nine years whenever Halloween is on a class day," Sawyer said.
His reasoning behind having a costume day is to give his students a little mid-semester break.
"It can be really intense for students to do this Shakespeare course, so we try to do something fun and entertaining for them," Sawyer said.
The tradition has led to a lot of fond memories for Sawyer. He even has a mug that he keeps on his desk which showcased a picture of a previous class all dressed up in Shakespearean garb.
Sawyer's students really got into the Halloween spirit with the majority of the class dressing up in Shakespearian inspired outfits. The costumes ranged from Titania from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to Hamlet; some students chose to dress up as characters from Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus."
One student, Coby Atwell, even used a pun as the inspiration for his costume.
"I dressed up as a bee to represent Hamlet's 'to be or not to be' speech," Atwell said.
At one point the chair of the Literature and Language Department, Katherine Weiss, dropped in to pass out candy and show off her own costume.
"Everyone looks so great!" Weiss said.
After passing around kit-kats and twix, Weiss let everyone know of other fun Halloween activities planned by members of the English department.
"The graduate students will be doing an all day scary story reading downstairs in Burleson today that's open to anyone," Weiss said.

Problems dating police officers
30-Oct-2017 13:33
Some are married and have families, some are in relationships, and some are single – often looking for the right girl or guy for them that can appreciate and even support their life as a LEO.
It's with that in mind that we compiled the top eight rules for dating a cop, chosen from answers by law enforcement officers from across the country.
Their life is hectic and their schedule is never determined.
This means that they may be on call for the holidays, you'll have to miss a few date nights because they are on a case, or they will miss a birthday or two because they couldn't get off.5. Whenever you go out, you may want to get used to having the door at your back.
Sitting next to each other instead of across is a simple solution to this one too. Don't get caught having sex with him or her on duty – Of course the excitement and temptation will be there, but it can end an officer's career.
It usually amounts to the officer being automatically fired and having his or her law enforcement certification revoked, which means they may never be able to get a job in law enforcement again. There will always be at least one gun at every event you go to – This is a good thing.
While most people don't pay attention to where they are sitting, police officers tend to be very aware of their surroundings and may even go so far as to request being in eyesight of the door.
You can get around this by sitting side by side, rather than face to face.6.
This kind of behavior could actually get them into hot water, which includes automatic termination and having their law enforcement certification revoked, thus ending their career.7. In today's scary world, perhaps this is a plus rather than a negative for some.
You can be sure that wherever you go with your partner, you are going to be protected and safer than others; unless they have a license to carry as well.

- 3rd place in the international Asia Architecture Awards, Turkey - 2015
How can a homogeneous space with maximum efficiency be designed out of a heterogeneous building with all types of different surfaces and angles? The design of Arman Dentistry aims to create a space within the initial space without the physical change of current surfaces or covering its various corners and angles. By putting the new network in the available network, "remaining spaces" are created in the peripheries dedicated for service functions (kitchen, lavatory, dressing room and storage). In this strategy the distribution of spaces based on geometry, relations and functions are formed around the central space. Similar to novels formed with the intersection of a story with another story, the meeting of spaces in this project creates spatial continuity in which each space has different qualities with respect to its integration and penetration to adjacent spaces.
As spatial structure in traditional Iranian architecture can organize adjacent and at the same time independent spaces, organizing network in our design solves current limitations and uses them optimally. The network creates a set of different repetitions; combinations in which surfaces form distinct spatial-sensual experiences. In this organization, the relations between the spaces are integrated and connective combinations, not separate compositions. The user based on his "point of view" is able to see images of space caused by the extension of spaces in one another. The dimensions, scales and the clarity of the available elements in space move perpetually forward/backward and create a sense of movement/inertia and brightness/ darkness.

In April I wrote a post entitled Trenton's Happiest Couple. It was about a pair of swans who had been coming to a particular pond in Trenton every spring and summer for a few years. Every year they happily claimed this murky pond and swam around in it after building a nest. Alas, every year when the time came, they left for warmer parts, just the two of them. I wondered if the couple were unable to have offspring.
Well, apparently they are. Driving by the pond this morning I noticed them swimming around. I hadn't seen any swans for a few days, and I was worried that something might have happened to them. Not only did I see the swan couple, but a cute little pair of signets were swimming around too.
Proud mama and papa swam close to the little pair, never venturing far away. For now they seem happy with this arrangement. Just wait until they are teenagers though, the pond may become too small. Maybe I should have given them my card and told them to keep me in mind when they start looking for a bigger place.

How long it is: about 3 kilometres
How long it takes: about 1 hour
Level of difficulty: easy
This very pleasant walk, that starts off at Biodola beach and goes as far as Procchio beach, can be described as a continuation of the trekking that starts off in Viticcio and goes as far as Forno beach.
It is a very relaxing walk that takes just over an hour and gives you the chance to admire a breathtaking view of the sea with the scents of the Mediterranean bush in the air, and last but not least on a hot summer's day, in the shade of the treees practically all of the way.
Walk the entire length of La Biodola sandy beach and once you get to the far left you will see the start of the "Fitness Track". Start off right at the rocks and go past a gate, but be prepared to find it closed sometimes during the winter.
Keep going and go through a suggestive tunnel that was carved out of the rocks during World War II, and you'll soon get to a short path that is kept clean until you get to a beautiful, sheltered tiny cove: Lamaia beach.
You will be walking with the sea at your side, with the beautiful scenery all around you reflected on the water, and you'll get to another tiny cove: Porticciolo beach.
Sometimes people with small boats or dinghies moor them there but they certainly won't be a problem.
Keep going through the vegetation and right next to the sea you will come to the area known as La Guardiola at the end of the bay Walk across a wooden footbridge and you will get to Procchio sandy beach.
A camera is a must and make sure you also go in for a swim in one of the two tiny gulfs that are more often than not deserted because the main road is far away and the only way to get to them is either on foot or by boat.
The entire walk is suitable even for families with small children because it is easy, flat and in the shade most of the way, but above all never monotonous.

My Top 3 Favorite and Most Used/Useful Spell Casting Tools! The following tools can be used together or with other tools to cast spells. That being said, one of my favorite things about these tools is that each can be used entirely on their own to create magick. As I expressed in my blog post about Complicated Spell casting, when I can, I usually keep things pretty simple.
Also called a Book of Shadows, a Grimoire, the Witch's Notebook, Magickal Diary, etc. I suppose you could argue that this is actually the use of two spell casting tools – pen and paper.
Journaling can help you get focused on what you want, clear up any internal or external blocks you might have keeping you from your goals, plan out spells, cast spells, and record the results of said spell casting.
I keep a couple of journals – a tarot journal, a Book of Shadows that is more formal and mostly contains those spells that have had good effect (or disasterous but notable effect), and a daily bullet journal:
Tarot has been one of my top spell casting tools for many years. I've been reading tarot since I was a teenager and professionally since 2009. Pulling a card or several for spell work not only reveals how the spell might turn out but also obstacles in my way and allies I can turn to. Tarot readings also help me ground, center and focus. They are a fantastic, tactile trigger for me to enter into a magickal mindset. The images remind me that magick is part of our lives if we choose to tap into it – each picture showing magickal activity among every day people, spirits, Gods, and elements as well as our own shadows and Archetypes within.
Before getting elbows deep into a spell, I like to pull some tarot cards and see if there are any messages on how to make this easier. I will look to divination to figure out if I am working against any energies rather than with them, if there is a lesson to be learned by not-having my desired goal, and if there is an easier route or someone/something that can help me to obtain what I want.
Example: If I want to do a spell to help heal a friend, I will pull the cards. If cards like The Devil or 8 of Swords arise – I will see that my doing a spell on her illness will not be as effective as if I were to help her release herself from her "bonds" of disease (both of these cards represent someone putting themselves in bondage rather than an outside force and only the can truly set themselves free).
Tarot is not the only method you can turn to, of course. If you are more skilled with runes, throwing bones, scrying, or other divinatory method, use that. If you do not feel comfortable with these skills, seek out someone who is. There are many witches online and off that wield these skills like well-honed blades and can help you on your course (myself included).
Road Opener Oil
Also called Open the Gates oil. The point of this oil is, as the name suggests, to open up the path between you and your intention such as a job, connecting with the spirit world, or a journey to visit family. I use it to clear out obstacle and make the path before me clear and focused.
The blend I use is from Aromagregory's in Nashville, TN. You can order from their online store here.
I use this oil to anoint EVERYTHING! I use it on tools, candles, myself – pretty much anything that can handle being anointed (I'd anoint my tarot cards if they wouldn't be ruined by the application). In fact, the only other oil I use half as much as this blend is Money Drawing oil (recipe in my Money Magick ebook).

SAN DIEGO – Manny Ramirez leaned over into a microphone and said: "Showtime."
He wore white sunglasses with a blue tint, his dreadlocks pulled back in a ponytail, a white T-shirt and baseball pants.
After Ramirez uttered that first word in an afternoon news conference Friday at Petco Park, he should've shed his sunglasses and inhibitions and come clean.
Manny Ramirez is back, but he's still hiding.
Ramirez, playing for the first time since a 50-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, responded to questions for 12 minutes. He once again said nothing. Words came out of his mouth, but they weren't meaningful.
"First, I want to say that God is good and good is God," Ramirez said. "And I don't want to get into my medical records right now.
"I'm happy to be here. I missed the game. I'm ready to play. I was practicing in Triple-A and I can't wait to get onto the field."
Medical records? Is that what steroids are classified under now?
Ramirez alluded to a big show, but his return was a big dud. He was 0 for 3 with a walk.
Some show.
The offensively challenged Dodgers seemed to enjoy his presence in the lineup and scored five runs in the first inning in a 6-3 victory against San Diego.
Ramirez didn't deal with too much grief from fans, either, but that's because most of them seemed to be wearing Dodgers jerseys.
"Thanks to the fans from L.A.," Ramirez said. "They made it so easy."
It was like a 200-pound weight was lifted off his back, according to Ramirez.
This hardly constituted a road test, but next week's trip to New York surely will do the trick. Ramirez received a mixture of boos and cheers with each at-bat. Fans chanted "Manny! Manny!" during his first plate appearance. "Let's go, Dodgers" chants were audible throughout the game.
Ramirez might as well have been at Dodger Stadium for the reception he got.
"It was a cakewalk today," teammate Matt Kemp said.
There were "Welcome Back Manny" and "Manny we still love you" signs. One even read: "It's all about the dreads, not the kids." A sign with a picture of a needle was visible among pro-Manny signs.
One fan in a San Francisco Giants T-shirt in the left-field stands stuck out his stomach and rubbed it as though he was pregnant. He was referring to the women's fertility drug – HCG – that Ramirez reportedly took.
Before the game, Ramirez apologized to his teammates and fans.
Ramirez, asked what he was sorry for, said not being there for them and playing for them. He didn't say he was sorry for using steroids.
He wouldn't say what he took or how long he took it.
Asked if he was embarrassed, Ramirez said, "A lot."
"But, you know, we're humans. We learn from our mistakes. There was only one man that was perfect, and they killed him. So, that's how I look at life."
Life was easy for Ramirez – although not at the plate – but the only show was the hoopla that accompanied it. There was extra security in the form of police and a roped-off section just above the visiting dugout stairs where about 50 photographers and cameramen waited for Ramirez to bound up the stairs and onto the field as though they were paparazzi expecting Britney Spears.
All that was missing was a red carpet.
Ramirez put one foot on the bottom stair, paused and retreated.
He popped a piece of gum in his mouth and again announced "Showtime," a mantra he borrowed from a friend who texted the phrase to him on the eve of his return.
"Now I've got a challenge," Ramirez said. "I've got to go out there and show people I still can do it. I know I can do it, so that's good. That's going to give me more fire to play the game."
But not enough ammunition to tell the ugly truth.
We had no ability to look into his eyes to see if he avoided eye contact or nervously looked around.
Asked why he wore sunglasses, Ramirez childishly said, "Because I wanted to." Then he laughed.
When Ramirez was done talking before the game, he got up from his chair, blew some air out of his mouth and said, "Showtime Tonight."
Yet there was not much to see here.

Barry Wood sold two virtually identical businesses over an 18 year period. The first was external and the second, internal. His exits clearly show the differences in an as close to apples-to-apples comparison as possible. The pros and cons may surprise.
When the time comes, do you want to sell your business externally, or internally to your employees or family members?
Once you decide, a little piece of you may always wonder how the other option would have played out. That's why the story of Barry Wood is such an interesting case study. Wood is a door guy, who started M&I Door Systems in 1995, sold M&I in 1998, and then started another – virtually identical – door business in 2003, only to sell it in 2013.
Wood sold his first door business externally and his second internally, so his two exits allow us to see clearly the differences between these two types of sale with an as close to apples-to-apples comparison as possible. The pros and cons of selling externally rather than internally may surprise you.
You may be wondering how your Value Builder Score affects your likelihood of a successful external vs. internal exit. Generally speaking, the higher your Value Builder Score, the more likely you are to have a business that will be attractive to both internal and external buyers.

Some Highlights Of The Show
Business: M&I Door Systems
2:12: "M&I Door Systems was a business that we bought in 1995 … focused in a specific niche market … high traffic areas, big industrial doors."
4:20: "I had lost a pile of money in the business I had previously bought. They actually gave me a sweat equity interest in this business with the opportunity to earn more."
5:50: "We realized that the American company wanted to acquire us so much that they probably fully priced our business out for the three or four years. Even if we hit all of our marks, we realistically wouldn't have gotten more than they were offering us in 1998 for that business. It just made a lot of sense to sell at that point."
Also on BuiltToSell.com: The Biggest Mistake Most Owners Make When Selling Their Company
6:50: "We got a call from their business development person … 'We'd like to meet to talk about buying your business.' That was the start of the conversation."
8:01: Talking negotiation.
10:05: "We actually sold that business two and a half years later for three times what we paid for it… Our EBITA had probably increased from our acquisition about 30%. It would have been about eight, nine times EBITA when we sold it.
11:20: Click to Tweet: An important point on this episode of #BuiltToSell: accretive value – why it matters to your acquirer & valuation.
12:20: "They allowed our product line to cannibalize their product line because ours inherently was a better product … head cutting rather than really understanding how this business could add value to their business."
14:33: The re-constituted business approaching $20 million a year.
16:07: "I had some strong feelings about the people who had been displaced, who had lost their jobs, and saw a great opportunity to do something together with them again and put the fun back into it, if you will."
18:45: "It was just in great hands and I saw another opportunity, which is the business I'm currently CEO of… I wanted to exit TNR Doors, and get liquidity from my investment there and reinvest in Ontario Excavac, and at the same time it opened up an opportunity for other managers and employees in that business to take on my equity stake, which I was selling."
20:24: "[The VCs] were ready to leave something on the table for the sake of the success story for the employees of that business."
23:25: Employees with equity stake.
27:24: Lessons learned from a serial entrepreneur.

f2py import Fortran code in Python
code in Python as a library/module is very straightforward.
Here is a
simple example
of correctly specifying Fortran
Intent() vis-à-vis Python
f2py to consider for Fortran → Python projects.
Install f2py
f2py is part of
numpy, so we install Numpy.
Linux / Windows Subsystem for Linux
apt install gfortran conda install numpy # or pip
Mac OS
brew install gcc conda install numpy # or pip
Windows is trickier in general, so it has it's own section here.
C:/Anaconda may be
C:/Miniconda3 or the like.
We recommend
Tested on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine.
install Numpy
conda install numpy
install MinGW-W64 to
Architecture Threads Exception x86_64 posix seh
Insert the mingw bin path to your system path permanently: Control Panel → Advanced System Settings → Environment Variables → System variables → Path. Add the path to
gfortran.exe, such as:
Tell Python to use MinGW: create file
[build] compiler=mingw32
from PowerShell, this can be done by:
echo "[build]`ncompiler=mingw32" > c:\Miniconda3\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg
If you don't like or can't do the last step, you can instead do for each package you install:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace --compiler=mingw32
If you have problems using f2py or other development work on Windows, consider Windows Subsystem for Linux, which runs at full performance within a terminal window on Windows.
Try the lowtran7 code. Following the instructions there, you should get
lowtran7.pyd(on Windows) or
lowtran7*.so(on Mac/Linux) file
- Running
python DemoLowtran.pycreates a plot of atmospheric loss
f2py does not allow inline comments for COMMON blocks
f2py does not allow inline comments for COMMON blocks for Fortran 77
.f code.
This is because
f2py works more strictly to Fortran specifications than most modern compilers.
Inline comments are not Fortran 77 standard, and will make
f2py throw an error.
To fix this problem, just make the inline comment a full-line command with
! in column 1.
.f90 files won't throw an f2py error due to inline comments on a line with a COMMON block: goodcomment.f90.
This will manifest itself two different ways, depending on whether you have
implicit none or not:
COMMON inline comment error WITH implicit none
Example in
var2fixfortran: No typespec for argument "x ! bad for fortran77". getctype: No C-type found in "{}", assuming void. KeyError: 'void'
Solution: Make inline comment a full-line comment with
! in column 1.
COMMON inline comment error WITHOUT implicit none
Example in
error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '!' token
Solution: Make inline comment a full-line comment with
! in column 1:
Windows troubleshooting
Another solution is to use Windows Subsystem for Linux with Anaconda Python. However, with the techniques below, I've always gotten f2py to work on Windows 7 and Windows 10.
'f2py' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Ensure Numpy is installed
conda install numpy
(Windows) create a file
<Anaconda Python install directory>/Scripts/f2py.batwith content
python %~dp0/f2py.py %*
Error: No module named 'numpy.distutils._msvccompiler' in numpy.distutils; trying from distutils
is fixed by: create file
c:\Anaconda\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg containing:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gfortran_st_write error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gfortran_st_read
and similar errors are typically from not having told f2py to use gfortran by:
create file
c:\Anaconda\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg containing:

YES! It is still alive. Adults adore the humor in this amusing film, but they leave the happy moral for children to take home. I, however, agree wholeheartedly. I happen to believe in happily-ever-after. Yes, that's right, I'm advocating that adults like you and I (thirty-something, cat, apartment on the left bank, whether married or still waiting for that prince) we can believe in miracles, we can believe in true LOVE, we can live happily-ever-after.
Happily-ever-after is not something that fairy dust grants you. It's something you choose, you create, you cultivate. I believe it would be pleasing to God if we all refused to settle for anything less than Happily-ever-after.
After all, what is love, if it is not TRUE LOVE?

Dearest Blog: Yesterday it was off to Marquee Cinemas for the promising pair of The Hitman's Bodyguard and Logan Lucky.
Spoiler level here will be mild, nothing you wouldn't know from the trailers.
First up: The Hitman's Bodyguard.
When a former assassin's testimony is needed at the International Criminal Court, it's up to a disgraced personal security expert to get him there safely.
The Hitman's Bodyguard is exactly as advertised, a thrilling and wildly funny action-comedy. Co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson have as much chemistry as the best buddy-comedy pairs, easily playing off one another in hilarious fashion. Gary Oldman digs his cartoonish bad-guy schtick out of storage for a broad, accented turn reminiscent of his mid-90s meat and potatoes. He's not really in the movie as much as I'd have liked, but, as always, he puts his screen time to good use. Action is almost non-stop, though the story beneath never feels underdone. Pretty European locales and a multi-cultural cast give the film a nice international flavor. Only the final chase scene seems to drag on just a bit too long; otherwise, the movie is a perfect balance of well-crafted action and foul-mouthed comedy.
The Hitman's Bodyguard clocks in at 118 minutes and is rated R for "strong violence and language throughout."
The Hitman's Bodyguard is a rollicking end-of-summer blast. Of a possible nine Weasleys, The Hitman's Bodyguard gets eight.
Fangirl points: GARY! (Duh.)
Next on the docket: Logan Lucky.
A pair of small-town brothers attempts to rob Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Dear reader(s), I'll consider it more a warning than a spoiler to tell you one thing about Logan Lucky that you probably didn't guess from the trailer: It's not really a comedy. It's amusing at times, and the overall tone certainly isn't heavy, but it is not the laugh-riot promised by the trailer.
Logan Lucky IS a clever, well-acted yarn about a down-on-his-luck West Virginia boy (Channing Tatum) who conscripts his brother (Adam Driver) into a wild plot to rob Charlotte Motor Speedway. The brothers enlist an "in-car-cer-rated" felon (Daniel Craig, playing delightfully against type) to assist with the scheme, which obviously doesn't go entirely as planned, or there'd be no movie. The terrific cast is rounded out by Katie Holmes, Riley Keough, Seth McFarlane, Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, and Sebastian Stan in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it turn. When Logan Lucky is funny, it's really funny, but unfortunately you've already seen most of what's really funny in the trailer. The twists and turns along our would-be robbers' path are well-plotted and certainly not boring, but the movie is so unlike its advertising that the whole can't help feeling kinda dull.
Logan Lucky runs 119 minutes and is rated PG13 for "language and some crude comments."
Logan Lucky is a smartly-crafted heist picture whose impact is sadly diminished by misleading advertising.
Of a possible nine Weasleys, Logan Lucky gets six.
Fangirl points: Sebastian Stan!
Also, however much it may have been intended to make fun of us, a roomful of people singing Country Roads will always put a teardrop in my eye.
Until next time...

Diabetes, over time, can have an effect on many elements of our body including gastrointestinal tract. Virtually 75% of individuals with diabetes report significant GI symptoms. I had some fraudulent activity on my debit card….so my bank cancelled my card. I used to be on a month to month with YOUFIT (hadn't been there in months). They tried to course of my card and it did not go through…YOUFIT charged me for that….four months later, they ship out their legal professionals (Aldous and Associates) to strongarm me for a complete of $110.00.
While I am unable to say the overall Republican effort to repeal and substitute Obamacare is useless, it is arduous to see any lifelike steps that they might take to revive the trouble. Letter writing is an old fashioned art, with bonding potential as robust at this time as ever. First, you open your heart large in love and confidence, then you definitely give away your feelings to somebody particular who alone has entry to the evidence. The only factor that makes you are feeling higher is receiving a love letter in response.
Marijuana smokers' behaviour is more essential than the efficiency of their pot or how a lot of the psychoactive ingredient THC they soak up for predicting who will become dependent, based on a small new research. Students might improve their job opportunities further by pursuing national certification (CHES – Licensed Health Education Specialist). I nonetheless say a constructive be aware is important for change. Let's simply see the way it goes before we tear it all apart eh? Heck, they didn't even go with the general public possibility (yet…I'm positive it's coming).
It is found that a lot of the college students belonging to a specific ethnic group are sluggish learners. We need to encourage the scholars to improve their self-worth and confidence. Nian gao is a glutinous Cantonese style cake particularly cooked for the New 12 months and is a sticky candy rice desert and one of many oldest meals in China dating back to over 7000 years in the past. I am an oncologist. And I speak to my sufferers regularly about finish of life issues. And these feedback by Grassley and others are an insult to medical doctors and sufferers everywhere.
Mr. Wilcox handed away on May 26th, 2017, due to complications from a number of medical issues. He can be missed by many in his native San Francisco, each throughout the behavioral health group—the place he labored for almost a decade—and by the numerous folks he motivated and impressed on the road and all through town. I love the truth that you can simply monitor your progress in your phone, this will act as an incredible motivator for me. Plus they look so smart and sleek that they make the scary weighing course of more engaging. With these further measurements, my morning conversations with Amanda are going to go up a notch!!

The Translation Project is the Medaka Box Wiki's ongoing project to translate the various names, abilities, techniques, etc. found in the Medaka Box Universe. As Medaka Box is a Japanese manga and the Medaka Box Wiki is an English language wiki, the use of translators are a focal point to the continuation of accuracy. This page lists all terms on the wiki currently requiring translation to kanji, romaji, or both.
Role of the Translation Project
- To determine the correct translation of character names, ability names, technique names, equipment names, and other general terms.
- To assure the correctness of all translations that are presented on the site. Looking up on Google Translator or similar translations tools is not translating. Please refrain from using such tools.
- To determine the outcome of contentious translations. If a translation is questioned at all, that should be brought up on the project talk page. In this way a translator can explain why the translation is used or conversation can take place for translations that are harder to classify. Users should ask their question and wait to be answered. If the user posting has no real understanding of translation, this is not the place to learn how to translate. Usage of the page should extend no more then to get the necessary translations done. Please refrain from badgering a translator for understanding on why a translation is translated a certain way.

The beginings...
Kitch was incorporated in 1999 as the marketing arm of Kosion Trading (M) Sdn Bhd to cater to the growing needs of the kitchen industry in Malaysia. Our aim is to bring the best in quality fittings and appliances for the kitchen to consumers who want products that will last for years.
What we believe...
As globalisation increases travel opportunities of the population, consumers are exposed to different cultures and trends in the ever-changing landscape of interior design. Kitchen designs, in particular, have undergone tremendous changes over the past decade and along with the changes, vast improvements have been made to the fittings and appliances used in a kitchen. We strive to bring the best in such improved fittings and appliances to consumers. At the same time, we hope to introduce the latest trends in kitchen planning to help consumers plan and organize their kitchen so that they can have a kitchen which is modern, beautiful as well as ergonomic and functional.
The kitchen has often been overlooked as merely a place to cook and store pots and pans. Such a concept, however, is changing as people realize that a kitchen is a place where they have many fond memories. After all, this is the place where Mom spends her precious time conjuring up all those delicious and mouth-watering dishes where the family can gather together at mealtimes to savour and enjoy some quality family-bonding time. It is also the place where where friends can gather and cook up a storm during one of those fun dinner parties.
Gone are the days where cooking was a chore and you never knew where everything was kept. Improved work flow management, along with ingenious storage solutions and advancement in appliance technology, means that cooking whether for your family or for a dinner party won't be a stressful affair. And the new silent kitchen concept means that you can still listen to your favourite tunes or watch your favourite television show without all the noise from the clattering of utensils and slamming of doors and drawers.
At our website you will be able to find various brands of kitchen equipments and furnitures that suites your needs. Our comprehensive online catalogue is designed to help you look for the right equipment and appliance for your kitchen. If you are unable to find the products that suit your needs, please call us up and our consultant will be more than willing to help you with it.
Where we are today...
With more than 20 years of experience in supplying fittings and materials to the furniture and wood-working industry, we have slowly been evolving into a specialist supplier for the kitchen industry over the past 10 years. Today, we are a leading supplier to the kitchen industry in Malaysia. Our range of products can be seen in many kitchen showrooms throughout Malaysia as well as in exclusive property development show units. In addition, we work with many of the leading kitchen designers and interior designers to introduce the latest trends and technology in kitchen design and planning to Malaysian consumers.
Our commitment to the kitchen industry is backed by our competent staff who are on hand to provide planning information as well as after-sales servicing to both industry personnel and consumers alike.
We maintain our own product showrooms in Kuala Lumpur and at our showroom, visitors can view our present range of products, which include Blum fittings from Austria, Smeg appliances, and Suspa gas springs from Germany.

WHAT IS A Wi BEAM?
A Wi Beam is a bond beam which can replace traditional windposts, or provide horizontal support within a wall, or at the top of a wall. It is effectively a reinforced concrete beam formed within a hollow-core concrete block, which acts as permanent shuttering and the visible face of the beam.
They are a safer, stronger alternative to traditional proprietary windposts such as an Ancon WP2, or WP3 and structural steel sections. Using simple internal reinforcement within uniquely designed hollow blocks, Wi Beams maximise masonry wall strength without thickening the wall or adversely impacting on its appearance. Indeed, as Wi Beams are integrated within the wall, they are visually undetectable when used within Wi Slot Block walls, as there are no movement joints to blight the appearance of the walls.
Wi Beam blocks come in the standard UK format sizes of 100mm, 140mm, 190mm and 215mm wide x 215mm high and 440mm long. They can span to lengths of 11m.
Wi BEAM RANGE
Click tab for SP or HP Wi Beams
SP – Standard Performance
Wi Beams replace typical proprietary windposts, angles and lightweight box sections for housing, hospitals, schools, colleges and commercial projects.
STANDARD PERFORMANCE Wi BEAMS
(CAT 2 BLOCKS, C30 Wi MORTAR)
HP – High Performance
Wi Beams are primarily intended for large infrastructure projects to replace structural steel columns, box-sections or even reinforced concrete columns acting as windposts.
HIGH PERFORMANCE Wi BEAMS
(CAT 1 BLOCKS, C40 Wi MORTAR)
We have two ranges of Wi Beams:
SP – Standard Performance
Wi Beams which replace typical proprietary windposts, angles and lightweight box sections for housing, hospitals, schools, colleges and commercial projects
HP – High Performance
Wi Beams which are primarily intended for large infrastructure projects to replace structural steel column, box-sections or even reinforced concrete columns acting as windposts
Construction of a Wi Beam is very straight forward and can be easily achieved by a competent bricklayer.
Click on the adjacent video to see how simple this is.
We also provide full installation training for operatives and supervisors, free of charge – please contact us to arrange, just call 0208 903 4527
This depends on the location of the wall, its height, length, width and any exposure to wind, or internal pressure. A windpost/Wi Beam would normally be designed by a structural engineer. However, for simple cases, such as the SP range, you can estimate the number of windposts required by using our Wi System Estimating software (downloadable here). All you need to do is to input the design parameters which should be known, or can be measured. If you don't know what the internal pressure is, then you can adopt a value of say 0.5kPa as a start point and then get this confirmed by the project structural engineer. You can call us on 0208 903 4527 for a free design check and advice.

Dead trucks and super mice
Now all of that Drama aside, I saw something Friday that just amused me. At Case Western University they have bred SUPERMICE. Really. Genetically engineered super mice. They are larger than normal mice(the first report on BBC I read said larger, the one linked says they are actually smaller YMWV), they are faster and stronger than normal mice. (They can run on a treadmill for almost 5 kilometers at a speed of 20 meters per minute. Not fast by our standards but this is a mouse!) They can also reproduce longer than normal mice. i.e. bear litters of new supermice when they are three years old which is like being in one's eighties for humans)
Now here is where I begin to differ from many right thinking people. Because the thought of these little buggers escaping tickles me. And they will escape, they are mice. Mice always get out of the cage. Hell, they probably already have escaped. I know, I know, I should be shocked and horrified at the idea of genetically engineered rodents running wild but I'm not. Heck, maybe the supermice will get us before the zombies do…

Quote: " If you were going to give someone some general advice on how to move up in a large organization you'd probably say something along the lines of: (1) be visible; (2) emphasize the aspects you're good at; (3) make those in power feel good about themselves; (4) if you must point out a mistake by someone in power, blame the situation or others; and (5) shower those above with flattery." Do the opposite.

Bardolino Sunset
|Our first night in Bardolino was notable for a heavy thunderstorm, and the second day, Thursday 21st September 2000, was overcast with occasional showers. But although the sky was grey, across the lake to the south west, a band of blue sky was visible on the horizon. In the late afternoon the blue gradually turned to yellow as the sun began to set, and by 6 pm the thought occurred that as the sun got lower, it would light the underside of the cloud layer, with the possibility of some colourfull effects. So after a hurried evening meal, I was off down the promenade. It was indeed spectacular as can be seen from the photos above. The whole sequence from the sun appearing from behind the clouds until it was gone over the horizon took only 20 minutes; but they were magical. The following morning the clouds had gone for good and it was all sunshine from there on.
