I thought that I knew what to expect as I had first stumbled upon Rachel's writing when I found her blog 'Laverstone Tales' which is full of delightful characters who regularly embark on a wide variety of adventures.
What I wasn't prepared for was the rich vein of humour that underscores each chapter, the ability to poke fun at the absurdity of human nature and all else beyond it. The characters in 'An Ungodly Child' go through exquisitely choreographed journeys of self awareness .
This book in many ways reminded me of Stephen Shieber's collection of short stories 'Being Normal'. Forget that one of the main characters of this book is a demon called Jasfoup and you'll see that this novel is actually all about being and accepting others for being normal, whatever they may chose to define that as.
This is a book full of beauty, life, laughter and the enduring strength and acceptance that comes with true love. It enriched me and I am grateful that I was able to experience it. I know that I will read it again and again. I am sure many other readers will too.

Emily Seebohm joins Olympic golden boys to headline Vic States opening night
Olympic gold medallists Mack Horton, Gregorio Paltrinieri and Kyle Chalmers and reigning world champion Emily Seebohm will headline the opening night's finals at the Victorian State Swimming Championships at the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre tonight.
Rio 400 metres champion Horton v Italy's 1500m champion Paltrinieri will kick start proceedings in an all-star 400m freestyle field which also includes Rio Olympians Daniel Smith, David McKeon and Jacob Hansford as well as Japanese star Ayatsugu Hirai.
Horton led the qualifiers from this morning's heats in 3:52.16 ahead of Melbourne Vic Centre training partner, Paltrinieri (3:52.52) and Griffith University pair Smith (3:53.58) and McKeon (3:55.17) with Hirai sixth on 3:58.40.
Chalmers (Marion) was a comfortable winner of 11 of 12 heats of the blue riband 100m freestyle in 50.27 but it was fellow 19-year-old and St Peters Western's Fina World Championship finalist Jack Cartwright who clocked the fastest qualifying time from heat 12 in 49.79 who caught the eye.
Cartwright, under coach Dean Boxall, was a close-up seventh in last year's World Championship final in Budapest and has emerged as the "X-factor" in the countdown to next month's Hancock Prospecting Australian Championships and Commonwealth Games Selection Trials at the Optus Aquatic Centre on the Gold Coast.
Throw in today's third fastest qualifier and freestyle sprint heavyweights – two-time World Champion James Magnussen and World Championship silver medallist and reigning multiple Australian champion Cam McEvoy and the 100m freestyle will be a major drawcard at the February 28-March 3 Trials.
Australia's Swimmer of the Year and 2017 World Champion Seebohm, has grabbed lane four for what will be a closely fought women's 200m backstroke final – with a real Commonwealth Games feel about it.
The David Lush coached Seebohm (Brisbane Grammar) was a comfortable winner of the final heat in 2:12.53 with Canadian Olympic bronze medallist Hilary Caldwell winning the fourth heat in 2:13.69.
Fifth heat winner and third fastest qualifier was 16-year-old Queenslander Kaylee McKeown, the World Junior record holder who was fourth in last year's World Championships in 2:14.07.
Then followed Melbourne Vicentre's World University Games champion Sian Whittaker 2:15.24 and former World Junior Champion Minna Atherton (Brisbane Grammar) 2:15.46, rounding out a top flight top five.
Multi-Olympic and World Championship medallist Emma McKeon (Griffith University) tops the qualifiers in the 50m butterfly (26.79) and the 100m freestyle (55.01) in both events ahead of two-time Olympic relay gold medallist Brittany Elmslie (Brisbane Grammar).
Paralympic star Daniel Fox (USC Spartans) heads the qualifiers in the Multi-Class 100m butterfly in 1:01.96.
Nunawading's Jessica Hansen (1:08.45) leads the 100m breaststroke girls Taylor McKeown (USC Spartans) 1:08.83 and Georgia Bohl (Griffith University) 1:09.02 into the 100m breaststroke final.
And Rio Olympian Jake Packard (27.67) was only 0.10 outside his best time in the 50m breaststroke qualifying heats ahead of Korea's Jaekwon Moon 27.88 and Matt Wilson (SOSC) 28.08.

I am loving this shirt I think this would make a great holiday evening piece, sheer light fabric so you won't over heat, yet still smart and sophisticated for an evening meal or event. I am yet to be converted to having all the buttons done up on a shirt ( it seems to make me look huge) so I would wear it with a few buttons undone and a bikini top underneath. I would team with a bralet if not on holiday.
another piece I chose with my holiday in mind is these shorts. Again the light floaty fabric is perfect for the hot day times of holidays, and the warm summers of home, a slightly quirky piece which I would pair with a knotted denim shirt
I thought this necklace would easily add a splash of colour to any outfit which I wear it with. As well as being a subtle nod to the tribal trend.
My wildcard of this wish box would be these leggings these were definitely not picked with holiday sun in mind and would without a doubt be more suited to the English weather. They are quite far away from what I would usually wear but I find myself drawn to them! and the fact that vertical stripes are meant to be lengthening on the leg is a definite bonus! ( I am fairly short) If I somehow get an influx of cash soon these are what I would first purchase I think.
all these items are from missguided

Oooooh! This takes me there!ReplyDelete
This is a midsummer night beauty! Thanks for your comment on mine :)ReplyDelete
Last evening I was late getting out to water my newly planted Ginko.ReplyDelete
The best part?
My path was lit by the first fire flies of the season! I could have stayed for an hour watching them slowly light and dim.
Unfortunately, their light show was followed by a bad performance by the mosquitoes.....
Fireflies are so magical! Love your work!!ReplyDelete
I like that little grasshopper in there too. The fireflies are winking and blinking here too. Have a great week yourself.ReplyDelete
It's beautiful Lolo. Just beautiful.ReplyDelete

Beautiful colors and feel to this one! :) It gives me peace.ReplyDelete
Very beautiful feeling of a summer's night. Definitely worth enlarging. I love your cricket.ReplyDelete

Enchantingly beautiful as only LOLO can do! This DOES have a touch of Van Gogh about it....he would love it....ReplyDelete

It echoes in here, I think. ;)
In the midst of building a photography studio, from the ground up,
Getting into the full swing of young 5's, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade,
Coordinating a trip for 18 women from our church to a National women's conference, True Woman '14,
Being knee deep in fall photo sessions,
Finding myself back at the Center for Women weekly,
Cooking pumpkin seeds,
and watching these four
I began to notice a few of my blogging friends dive into a "31 days of October" blogging challenge.
~ Ooohhh. Blogging every single day in October! That would be fab.u.lous. ~
For them.
Fabulous for them. :) And I will read their beautiful posts.
I will peak at them on my phone when I am in line at the preschool. I will sit down to my computer after throwing in a load of clothes. And I will smile. Because I have some greatly talented friends who weave words together like an art.
One of those friends once said that I was blogging "before blogging was cool". ;) And it's kind of true. I blogged to clear my mind. I blogged to gauge where my heart was and to process. I blogged to reach out to other moms; special needs moms, grieving moms.
Right now I am investing much more face to face. While writing will always be a passion, like a special treat to look forward to and relax with, I guess I just don't need my "voice" to be heard so much these days.
For a while I was a little worried, thinking:
"Have I lost my voice? Writing is who I am! What happened?! Is this a crisis?" (Because if I don't have a current crisis to worry about, I'm awesome at making one up...).
I found myself becoming more and more tense as I allowed some jealousy to seep in. I read words that thinly resembled something I could've written. I was used to being the one who could move people with words.... not the one being moved by the words of others. Noticing the unhealthy direction I was going in, I made a decision to open my heart to the talents around me, and back off. I'm too quick to offer words when I may or may not have anything to say. I'm learning to weigh those words carefully.
Ahhh. I do love finding my fingers on these keys. Like I love a good hot cup of coffee. It's kind of a comfort and a delicacy.
I look forward to finding a window of time to write about my Jay and how my heart swells with a sweet love that can only come from watching growth take you by surprise.
And my K. Oh my, that K. So headstrong and independent. Not only walking unassisted, but running. Running like there is no tomorrow.
Kai, who will be 5 in 8 days. Five. That baby boy. He makes my hair grey, you guys.
Noe. Dear one who makes sock snow men for everyone he loves. If you get know, you are a highly honored individual.
My man who is pretty much doing the equivalent of 3 full time jobs. And in his exhaustion, finds time to take my breath away as I observe his posture towards us, his family.
I do, I really do like these smooth keys under my tired fingers. There will be more. Not like 25 more in the next 25 days, but more.

These limited-edition activated charcoal drinks from Suja Juice sold out almost immediately upon their release.
The company is known for seeking out and rewarding those who are loyal to the brand using personal platforms such as Twitter to do so. While black juices are certainly an uncommon product, Suja Juice used the shock-factor of the stark color of the drinks as well as its usual brand loyalty rewards to promote it. The brand sent bottles of the juice to known celebrities and public figures who had previously been loyal to the company, who then posted the bottles on their social media accounts due to the photogenic nature of the charcoal drinks. As a result, the juices sold out quickly and the brand received free advertising for its unusual new collection of organic schizandra berry juice, organic ginger juice, organic lemon juice and organic stevia leaf extract mixed into a drinkable liquid form.
Suja Juice's campaign functions as inspiration for other small brands to utilize the free marketing platforms that surround them in order to promote their products in a way that is creative and distinct.

VICTORVILLE � Hundreds of people came out to the Victor Valley College football field on Saturday to support the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
Many were at the 24-hour event which began at 9 a.m. Saturday walking for family and friends.
"We are here in support of my son, Michael," said Ernie Villareal of Victorville. Michael Villareal, 25, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in January.
"It was devastating," said Michael's wife, Roxanne Villareal.
The fundraiser gave many the opportunity to support those afflicted with the disease.
"Relay for Life is a unique opportunity for our community to come together in the fight against cancer," said Jennifer Dodson, manager of the Victorville relay.
Michael's team of friends and family all wore T-shirts with the name Dj Myk on them.
"Throughout this whole thing � the surgery and the chemo � music was my medicine," Michael said. He also credited his wife for being his backbone.
The Villareals' story was repeated many times over in different forms.
Some teams walked for husbands and friends, others for mothers and uncles, and still others for children.
Some were there to celebrate a recovery and survival, while others marked a life cut short.
This year's event had a definite family feel to it, with many activities set up for attendees of all ages.
The event was capped off Saturday night with the Luminaria Ceremony, where people can decorate a paper bag and then a candle is lit, creating a string of glowing lights along the track.
"All of the money raised at this 24-hour event will go to the American Cancer Society," said Armando Murillo, one of the coordinators for the event.
What also makes the walk special is that the money will remain in the Inland Empire, he added.
"For cancer survivors, their involvement is proof of the progress that has been made not only in cancer-cure rates, but in the quality of life following cancer treatment," Dodson said.

That suspension business is tricky ...everyone has different triggers...it's such a good point though. I didn't notice EB lack of dancers posture but there was something else - can't remember that pulled me out a bit...
All we can do as writers is be aware and have readers we trust who will pull us up on things.

I find when I read now I'm aware of myself suspending disbelief. It takes some of the fun out of it, but it provides some good lessons. As far as films go...I Hate Hate Hate watching actors pretend to be playing the violin. I've never seen one get it even close to right. It's as if they don't even try to hold their arms in the right place and have their fingers go to the music. Ugh. Drives me nuts.

Liz, I think you're absolutely right. You only have to look at Sue's comment below to see how tricky it all is. You can't not (!) show actors doing these things for fear of upsetting those that know about it! The hats were dead silly but we can have the faith to believe in the silliest things...
Sue, I wouldn't know how well or badly they were playing but I ALWAYS think about it when I see actors doing thing like that!

McAnulty College & Graduate School of Liberal Arts
In keeping with Duquesne's Spiritan heritage, we seek to increase endowed funds for need-based financial aid and scholarships. Our founders and sponsors were determined that the benefi ts of a Duquesne education should be available to all, regardless of ability to pay. Endowed scholarships ensure that Duquesne can attract and retain talented and motivated students for generations to come.
Student/Faculty Research Grants: Undergraduate research is an important way for students to engage more directly in a discipline and to interact with faculty outside of the classroom. Collaborative research provides a personal approach to education, promotes the intellectual development and curiosity of the student, and advances the faculty member's own research agenda. An undergraduate research program can help to transform the curriculum and the overall intellectual climate of the College. The College currently provides small competitive grants to support these projects; more dedicated funding will allow for increases in both the number and size of these important awards.
First-Year Residential Learning Communities: The first-year residential learning communities have become a distinctive hallmark of the College's liberal arts curriculum, highly valued by students, parents and faculty members for the advantages they give entering students. In choosing their learning community, first-year students select four courses they will take as a cohort of no more than 36 students in their first year, three in the fall semester and one in the spring. Those living on campus also share the same residence hall floor. In addition to offering four integrated classes, the learning communities involve first-year students in service-learning and co-curricular activities outside the classroom. The learning communities have proven
effective in helping first-year students quickly find friends and study companions; creating a sense of identity and community among students in the College; helping students learn how to relate topics in different courses and integrate their knowledge; and connecting the classroom with the community through service.
Internships: The College is working closely with the Career Services Center to help liberal arts students discern their vocation and pursue it with vigor. Internships are an increasingly important aspect of that pursuit. Small awards that will support students as they gain vocational experience in internships will make it more possible for students to choose positions that will give them experience in their chosen field, whether during the school year or in summer, rather than take a job simply to earn extra money.
Named Endowed Chair in Philosophy: As one of the largest and most visible Ph.D. programs at Duquesne, as well as one of the most central to its mission as a Catholic university, the Department of Philosophy has a long and storied history which makes it a prime candidate for an Endowed Chair. The recruitment of a senior scholar with a national or international reputation would position the department, the College and the University to increase dramatically the visibility and prominence of each in this critical academic area. Conducting research and teaching courses on both the graduate and undergraduate levels, the holder of the Chair would also be expected to engage the campus and the larger community in important and topical issues and questions of an academic nature on a regular basis.
Veterans' Chair in American History: This Chair would be held by a qualified veteran from the American armed services who could offer course work in American History, military history or American diplomatic history. Such a person would bring the perspective of one who has served the nation honorably in a highly demanding capacity. This Chair would be placed on a fouryear term to facilitate rotation and create a breadth of exposure for Duquesne and our students. Other responsibilities would include outreach to veterans' groups, working with the ROTC program, and directing Duquesne's History Forum every four years.
Named Endowed Lecture/First-Year Reading: To expose first-year students to an important work and author in the area of creative writing, the endowed lecture and first year-reading consists of a yearly lecture and workshop by an established author whose work all incoming Duquesne students read as part of their UCOR 102 (Imaginative Literature and Critical Thinking) course. This provides students with a unique experience and an enriching opportunity that will galvanize their interest in literature and the arts, while putting them in contact with a working writer.
Jewish Studies at Duquesne: Duquesne University has a number of faculty members and students from various disciplines who are interested in Jewish history, thought, culture, and faith. The College has hosted speakers and events to commemorate Kristallnacht in an ad hoc fashion. The College now seeks to institutionalize these yearly events and use them as an anchor for larger discussions toward developing more formalized programs in Jewish Studies.
Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation: Contemporary ministry worldwide confronts a variety of social justice, peace and ecological issues. Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation is the distance-education program the College has developed, in partnership with the Spiritans, to provide a "tool kit" for those who serve in these challenging pastoral situations. Through PowerPoint presentations and micro-lectures it provides the necessary theory on a given topic, and then applies the concepts to actual cases and practical realities. It also allows students in different parts of the world to learn from each other.
Collaborative Learning Classroom: The Departments of Journalism and Multimedia Arts, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Sociology are joining forces to spearhead the installation of classroom space designed specifically to support collaborative learning for technology-oriented courses. The new Active Learning Technology Space will incorporate reconfigurable half-round tables where students can conveniently work together at shared laptops while instructors circulate to provide guidance. Other features will be a "no front" room design, incorporating two projectors that can be controlled by any computer in the room and writable wall surfaces throughout, including two walls painted floor-to-ceiling in whiteboard paint.
Psychology Clinic: The College's Psychology Clinic is an essential and integral component of its highly regarded Ph.D. program in clinical psychology. Demand exceeds the capacity of the existing space and necessitates use of faculty offices for counseling. The Clinic also hosts guest speakers for a monthly colloquium that is integral to the Ph.D. program, but must currently look for any available space on campus for the colloquiums. The University plans to make additional space available for the Clinic. The College seeks funds to build out the required faculty offices, session rooms and an adequate conference room to support the Clinic's programs.

On the surface, Amazon's Lending Library, which begins today, sounds Netflix-esque: Pay a fee for unlimited digital borrowing access. But for people used to the all-you-can-eat goodness of Netflix, Amazon's ebook service has a lot of limitations. But then again, so does Netflix these days.
How It's Worse Than Netflix
Bad Selection To be fair, Netflix is losing its library bragging rights after with its Starz contract expiring. But, it's attemped to add a bunch of titles, including content from AMC, Discovery, DreamWorks and the CW. Tony Wible, a Janney Capital Markets analyst who covers Netflix, estimated its current library has about 17,000 titles. Amazon, on the other hand, will for now offer "slightly more than 5,000 titles in the library, including more than 100 current and former national bestsellers," write The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey Trachtenberg and Stu Woo. That's not too many options. And the selection won't be too great. None of the six biggest U.S. publishers has signed on.
Restrictive Lending For Netflix's streaming service, users can watch as many shows and movies as they want on many devices. Netflix even lets multiple people use the same account to watch on multiple computers or tablets. The lending library is one book at a time, and one book per month. That means only 12 books a year, max. If you start a book you don't like, too bad. Not only has Amazon enforced a reading cap, it restricts access to Kindle owners. Even those who use Kindle Apps on tablets can't borrow.
Pricey Netflix got a lot of flack for raising its prices. But users still get unlimited streaming access for $7.99 a month. To get access to the Lending Library, hopeful readers need to sign up for Amazon Prime and get a Kindle. Prime costs $79 per year, which is cheaper than Netflix. But, remember: It's only 12 reads, maximum. And for those who don't already have a Kindle, this service requires extra supplies. Amazon began selling cheaper tablets earlier this year, so that will only put you out another $79 for the cheapest one.
How It's Better Than Netflix
Amazon Prime The service comes as an added bonus to Amazon's Prime other benefits: streaming access to nearly 13,000 movies and TV shows and unlimited free shipping. Individually, none of them may reach a Netflix-level of satisfaction, but throwing in 12 free books a year does make the Amazon Prime subscription look more competitive with the $96 a year (minimum) that Netflix charges.

According to Princeton University, a lacto-ovo vegetarian is a person who doesn't consume animal flesh of any kind but does consume eggs and dairy products. In Western cultures, this is the most common form of vegetarianism.
Princeton University notes that the term "lacto-ovo" comes from the Latin word lacto, which means "milk," and ovo, which means "egg." When a person refers to oneself as a "vegetarian," it's generally assumed that the person chooses to consume eggs and milk. A person who doesn't eat eggs or dairy products is commonly referred to as "vegan." People who choose a vegan lifestyle often avoid using animal products of any kind, including leather, fur or wool.

|Here are other cool stocks related to concerts and lights. Click on thumbnails below to view in full size.
Thank you for the shares in this blog. I will visit it again.
nice images…
would like to see more stuff like this ;D
Hi Isi, Certainly! You can use the 4 images at the top most to create your brushes since they are shot by myself. As for the rest of the images, I guess you will need to check with the respective owners.
Do share your brushes here after you are done? 😀
Would it be okay if i made brushes with some of these images?

Hey guys,
So my school year was cut short by a devistating tornado that hit right through Tuscaloosa, AL and about a few roads away from where I live and was at currently when it hit. Scariest thing in my life, and I've lived through and saw everything in New Orleans during Katrina. So pray for ttown, its stil not even close even though its been 3 weeks since the tornado hit. One of my sorority sister was actually picked up and thrown from the tornado. She was paralized from the waist down, but she is getting better!!! Today she walked with assistance!
However, another one of my sorority sisters didn't make it. Her apartment collasped on her and she passed away. Its so sad to imagine how precious life really is. I'm so blessed that I'm still alive and that I get to go and work for my dream company, Walt Disney Corp. RIP Nicole. I miss you dearly...
In the mean time, I am heading to HAWAII in two days!!!!! And to make things Disney related, our hotel is right next door to Aulani! I cannot wait to take sneak pictures of the hotel and I'll be sure to post them on my facebook and on here!!!! :)
Until then, ALOHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Part 2 Chapter 4 Summary
Alexandra feels that Carl has not changed much and that he is still as sensitive and unhappy as he was as a boy. She and Carl spend a lot of time confiding in one another. Alexandra confesses her joy at the way Emil is turning out: urban and smart, perhaps he may become a lawyer. Emil is why her grandfather came to this country. She says she cannot take credit for the prosperity of her farm; she simply learned to let the land work itself and then prosperity came on its own.
She tells Carl that Marie Tovesky, the little city girl, has grown up and married Frank Shabata. They now live next door to her. She is very close to Marie, but Frank has a difficult personality. Carl confesses that he is ashamed of the way his life has turned...

Qt Services of Plymouth and Supacat of Honiton have combined forces to develop the legendary Wildcat Dakar racer as a high performance vehicle for special forces to operate as a rapid intervention, strike, reconnaissance or border patrol vehicle.
'Never before has a UK-built existing motorsports vehicle been modified to perform a military role so this is an industry first.' said Dave Marsh, Managing Director of Qt Services, designer and manufacturer of the Wildcat.
Supacat designed and build the Jackal and Coyote high mobility vehicles currently in use by British forces in Afghanistan and has a great deal of expertise in this specialised field. The aim of the new project is to deliver a fully-integrated, military variant of the Wildcat 500DKR which is already tried and tested in the harsh environment of long distance desert racing.
Supacat will be responsible for militarising the Wildcat to fill a gap between small, low-cost, high-mobility platforms such as quad bikes and much heavier vehicles, including systems integration and volume production. A variety of lightweight armour solutions, weapons and communication systems will be developed according to each customer's specification. Jamie Clarke, Supacat's sales and marketing manager, said the two-seat vehicle is likely to be priced at about UK£250,000, including the fitting of a Kongsberg remote weapons station. Clarke said he 'expects the Middle East to be a prime market for a 2,580kg gross weight machine which, in its sports configuration, has a range of 2000 kilometres.

Business Expansion Scheme: share reorganisation rules (1): bonus issues and mixed holdings
- bonus issues
- mixed holdings, that is where the taxpayer holds shares in the same company some of which have and some of which have not attracted BES relief
- share exchanges see CG56939
- rights issues see CG56946.
Bonus issues
If a company makes an issue of shares to its shareholders for no payment this is called a bonus issue. As long as the issue is made in respect of and in proportion to the existing shareholding TCGA92/S127 will apply to treat all the shares as though they were the same asset. For further instructions on bonus issues see CG50290.
If the original shares attracted BES relief ICTA88/S299 (5) (as it was before FA94) provides that you treat the bonus issue shares as though they also attracted BES relief. Therefore there is no need to make any distinction between the original shares and the bonus issue shares when dealing with a disposal or part disposal. If all the shares are sold you should treat all the shares as having had relief. If there is a part disposal you should treat a corresponding proportion of the shares as having had relief.
Mixed holdings
A taxpayer may have a holding of ordinary shares in a company in respect of which relief has been given and not withdrawn on some of the shares but not on others. If there is a bonus issue or rights issue in respect of these shares the share reorganisation rules apply to each holding separately, TCGA92/S150(6). Therefore, the new shares are allocated to each separate holding and there is no question of shares which have attracted relief which has not been withdrawn and other shares intermingling. If the rights issue occurred after 18 March 1986 the original shares and the rights issue shares may also be treated as separate holdings, for further details see CG56946.

CUSP Urban Imaging Capture
00-00 Welcome
Welcome¶ Welcome to Urban Computing Skills Lab. This course is a pre-requisite for your Masters program in Applied Urban Science and Informatics, which immediately begs the question: what is Urban Science? It is actually hard to define Urban Science especially given how ubiquitous the term has become. In my mind, Urban Science is an emerging domain of research at the intersection of interdisciplinary sciences that seeks to exploit the large-scale data, from a variety of sources, to understand and address urban challenges.
00-01 Accessing Jupyter Notebook
Acessing Jupyter Notebook on CUSP CDF (preferred way)¶Depending on the Operating System that you are using, you should simply follow the instructions on cusp datahub. For Linux and Mac OS:
For Windows OS:
All the packages that we need to use are already installed for you. Setting Up Jupyter Notebook locally on your machine (Method 1)¶ If you are familiar with Docker, then there is a pre-built container that you can use following the instructions here:
00-02 Introduction to Notebook and beyond
00 - 00 Introduction to Python¶ Python¶ Python is a great object-oriented, interpreted, and interactive programming language. It is widely used as general-purpose, high-level programming language. It is ranked among the top 5 programming languages in the world. Python was conceived in the late 1980s as a teaching and scripting language and has since become an essential tool for many programmers, engineers, researchers, and data scientists across academia and industry.
01-00 Introduction to Python
01 - 00 Introduction to Python¶We mentioned the pros of using Python as our tool for performing urban science in the Introduction to Notebook and Beyond. In this introductory module we will discuss the basic semantics of the language and get our hands dirty by actually typing and executing the code blocks. Remeber:¶ To run a cell, you can press Shift+Enter (to execute and go to next cell) or Ctrl+Enter (to execute and stay on the same cell).
01-01 Variables
01 - 01 Variables¶As the name implies, a variable is something that can change. A variable is just a way of referring to a memory location used by a python program. Based on the datatype of the variable, the python interpreter allocates the memory and decides what can be stored in the reserved memory. This makes python a dynamically-typed language. If you are familiar with other programming languages like C, C++ or Java it might be tempting to consider variable as just a container to store data.
01-02 Strings
01 - 02 Python Strings¶A python string is usually a bit of text that you want to display or use or export out of the program that you are writing (to a file or over the network). Technically, strings are immutable sequence of characters. We will talk and learn more about sequences in Data Structures module. Python has a built-in string class called str with many handy features. Python knows you want something to be a string when you enclose the text with either single quotes ( ' ) or double quotes ( "
01-03 Numeric Types
01 - 03 Numeric Types¶In python there are basically 3 built-in Numeric Data-Types int float complex 01 - 03.01 int¶Integers are the most basic numeric type in python. Any number that does not contain a decimal point is considered as an integer and is of type int. An interesting difference between the int type in python and other languages is that they are variable precision.
01-04 Operators
01 - 04 Operators¶ Operators in python are the constructs which can manipulate the value of operands. Simply put when operators are used with one or more than one operand, they produce some result. Consider a basic mathematical addition 1 + 2 in this case, 1 and 2 are operands and + is the operator. Operands can also be variables. Python supports following types of operators:

Homework Years 3 – 6
Homework mainly consists of practice exercises, which enable students to apply new knowledge or review, revise and reinforce newly acquired skills learnt in class.
Examples of such exercises are:
- Memorisation of mathematical times tables, practising spelling words and writing creative stories.
- Daily reading, to, with, and by parents/caregivers or older siblings.
* Parents/caregivers should then discuss what has been read and include questions about the themes, concepts or characters of the book children were reading.
* Questions should preferably probe beyond the surface of the text information and have children provide their opinions and beliefs about what they have just read.
- Reading for pleasure – material can include newspapers, magazines, cartoons or own creative work.
- Practice exercises for consolidating mathematical concepts (there is a limit to the effectiveness of this).
- Review or reinforce new mathematical knowledge through the use of the Mathletics Program (each child has access to this program all year).

Mrs. LeeAnna K. McMurray, longtime Pasadena resident will be the Grand Marshal for the Nicodemus Emancipation Celebration Parade held on July 29th, 2017 in Nicodemus, Kansas. The Parade is held every year at the end of July.
Mrs. McMurray, 94 years old, is a descendant (born and raised) of Nicodemus, Kansas, the only remaining Western community established by African Americans during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. It has since gained recognition as a National Historic Landmark. The community was founded in 1877.
Mrs. LeeAnna McMurray was born in Nicodemus in April 1923. She was born to Charles S. and Clementine Napue-Vaughn. Of 9 children, Mrs. McMurray is the last surviving. She married Carl "Sonny" McMurray in 1946. They were married until his death in 1994.
Mrs. McMurray is still healthy, active, an avid reader and history buff.

Frankie-Rose Lea was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in August. Despite weeks of painful chemotherapy treatment, the tumor had tripled in size, with the cancer spreading to her spine.
Experts said her best chance of surviving the aggressive tumor is immediate proton beam therapy, but that would cost the family £160,000. Her parents Michelle and Sam Lea feared that without swift treatment she would not live until Christmas, so they put their house up for immediate sale, saying they would rather "live in a box" than fail to exhaust every possibility to save Frankie-Rose.
In just four days, following media reports in the UK's Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and ITV News, more than 7300 contributors donated £167,000 to help the seven-year-old and her family.
"You are all amazing!" exclaimed Nicola Townsend who set up a GoFundMe page. "We now have the money to get Frankie Rose Lea the treatment she needs."
"There are no words to describe your kindness. We are overwhelmed with the response," Frankie-Rose's mum tweeted. "The support gives us encouragement and something good to focus on."
Jo in Wales summed it all up today on Twitter" "How can you not love the British public when we make this happen."

Five centimeters is equivalent to two inches, which is the thickness of a two-inch by four-inch piece of wood. It is also equal to 50 millimeters.
Many people in the United States cannot yet understand the metric system; therefore it becomes necessary to convert metric units into understandable units such as inches and feet. To convert centimeters to inches, multiply the number of centimeters by 0.39. This provides the number of inches equal to centimeters. In this instance, five times 0.39 equals 1.968 which is rounded to two inches. In the metric system, five centimeters are equal to 50 millimeters.

My blog contains a large number of posts. A few are included in various other publications, or as attached stories and chronicles in my emails; many more are found on loose leaves, while some are written carelessly in margins and blank spaces of my notebooks. Of the last sort most are nonsense, now often unintelligible even when legible, or half-remembered fragments. Enjoy responsibly.

Entry for April 12, 2007
On July 24th of 2006 I posted a blog called "Who will you cry for when they die?" and posed the question "Not counting family members, loved ones, and pets, who will you shed a tear for when they pass?" Mine was Kurt Vonnegut.
Last night he died and I cried. So it goes.
From Reuters:
Thu Apr 12, 1:27 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - American literary idol Kurt Vonnegut, best known for such classic novels as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died on Tuesday night in Manhattan at age 84, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Longtime family friend, Morgan Entrekin, who reported Vonnegut's death, said the writer had suffered brain injuries as a result of a fall several weeks ago, the newspaper reported.
Vonnegut, born in Indianapolis in 1922, also wrote plays, essays and short fiction. But his novels -- 14 in all -- became classics of the American counterculture. He was a literary idol, particularly to students in the 1960s and 1970s, the Times said.
The defining moment of Vonnegut's life was the firebombing of Dresden, Germany by Allied Forces in 1945, an event he witnessed as a young prisoner of war, the newspaper said.
Dresden was the basis for "Slaughterhouse-Five," which was published in 1969 against the backdrop of war in Vietnam, racial unrest and cultural and social upheaval, the Times said.
Vonnegut became a cult hero when the novel reached No. 1 on best-seller lists, the article said, adding that some schools and libraries have banned the book because of its sexual content, rough language and depictions of violence.
The novel featured a signature Vonnegut phrase, "so it goes," which became a catch phrase for opponents of the Vietnam war.
After the book was published, Vonnegut went into severe depression and vowed never to write another novel. In 1984, he tried to take his life with sleeping pills and alcohol, the report said.
Vonnegut's books were a mixture of fiction and autobiography, prone to one-sentence paragraphs, exclamation points and italics, the report said.
Some critics said he had invented a new literary type and other accused him of repeating himself, of recycling themes and characters. Some readers found his work incoherent, the Times said.
"Cat's Cradle" was published in 1963 and although it initially sold only about 500 copies it is widely read today in high school English classes, the newspaper said.
Vonnegut's last book, published in 2005, was a collection of biographical essays, "A Man Without a Country." It, too, was a best seller, the newspaper said.
His first play, "Happy Birthday, Wanda June," opened Off Broadway in 1970 to mixed reviews and around the same time he separated from his first wife, Jane, the Times said.
Vonnegut, a fourth-generation German-American, is survived by his wife photographer Jill Krementz, their daughter and his six other children, the New York Times said.

Metropolitan Grandeur with Stunning City Views
Much like the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (better known as "The Bean") in Millennium Park, the Streeterville skyscraper glistens like a mirror, reflecting the buildings around it so that, at certain angles, it almost seems to disappear into the skyline. Throughout the 17 stories making up the Wyndham Chicago Hotel, views of a modern metropolis contrast with the hotel's traditional-style décor, exuding the splendor of an early 20th-century luxury hotel. In the lobby, crystal chandeliers hang over granite and terrazzo, lighting a grand piano and a master staircase.
A AAA Four Diamond winner for 13 consecutive years, the Wyndham Chicago Hotel infuses its guests room with this old-world elegance while offering high-tech luxuries. In the one-bedroom suite, pristinely white linens cover beds and double-tiered curtains frame windows, which offers the sight of either the Chicago skyline or Lake Michigan. A separate sitting area groups armchairs and a pullout couch beside a desk wide enough to hold one's collection of Jimmy Carter dolls.
A hot tub and steam room soothe tension out of tired muscles, and the indoor pool invites quick dips even as snowflakes fall outside. For dinner, the Caliterra Bar & Grille crafts a monthly rotating menu of Tuscan-inspired steak and northern Californian dishes served beneath a ceiling of exposed wooden beams.
Chicago: World-Class Shopping and Awe-Inspiring Architecture
A mere block from the hotel, the Magnificent Mile is home to dozens of fashion establishments, from trendy boutiques to triple-decker flagship stores. Near the southern edge of the strip, the Tribune Tower's neo-gothic spires rise over the Chicago River. The tower's base includes stones from more than 100 famous international sites, including the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, and the Forbidden City. To the north, the John Hancock Center's black, crisscrossed beams dominate the skyline, with a 95th-story restaurant overlooking Lake Michigan.
South in the Loop, El trains regularly rattle past twinkling marquees in Chicago's renowned Theater District. Along the east edge of the Loop, Millennium Park attracts thousands of skaters between mid-November and mid-March with an ice rink perched at the feet of towering skyscrapers. Next door, the Art Institute of Chicago showcases iconic masterworks, including Monet's Water Lilies, Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte — 1884, and van Gogh's Portrait of Jerry Seinfeld.

Tonight was a hell of a party at Club Erotique! We had a special contest.... Girls against Guys!! So exciting I needed to be part of it! Thankfully Serenity let me in!
Girls vs Boys... Two teams of four... To dance and show off our hotness under showers, in wet clothes and of course then wet naked bodies.... Aren't we pornstars?
The party crowd voted for their favorite team during the event and of course the girls (Colleen, Morgan, Candi and me) won.... As the winning team we entered the finale in total control and the losers (Mirko, Bud, Alexus and Scot) were suppose to give us a lap dance! Some being too shy, Jamezz filled a vacant spot for my very own pleasure and TT took Colleen's place. I do not doubt that lots of sexy and naughty pics will be posted all over the SL porn community! Its not everyday that 4 of the sexiest SL guys give lapdances :)
As a little eyecandy here is a pic of me under the shower taken by Jamezz!!
Enjoy and keep an eye on Club Erotique's blog!!

1) Stay off the scale. Ugh. This is something I do pretty much in my every day life whether I'm pregnant or not. They weigh me when I go to the doctor and that is it. A few pounds here and there are so arbitrary (Have you had a lot of water? Have you taken a #2 yet today? Did you have a big lunch?) and I just know I would obsess over it if I knew about it. I like to know my progress at the doc, but I don't need to know things on a daily basis.
2) Listen to your cravings. This is something the doctor recommended too. I like it when my doctor and I are on the same page (which is often). If I wanted ice cream, I would have it. If I wanted a cheeseburger, I got one. If I wanted some french fries, gosh darnit I got some! (Hell, when I couldn't get my favorite donut, I even cried a little.) As long as I wasn't eating horribly every single day, I wasn't (and still am not) concerned about it. That isn't that different than my normal eating habits anyways. I always would want something bad after a run. Haha.
|Enjoying a post-run cupcake
3) Treat yo self. This kind of goes along with #2 and can also be related to non-food things. It took me a little while to figure it out, but I'm pregnant. I can't do all the things I used to do. People have been very accommodating to me and my new restrictions. The hubs has said that I'm "milking this pregnancy thing." Well, you bet your butt I am. Pregnancy is hard work and so I'm going to take advantage oft this as much as I can. I know I won't have the luxury with future pregnancies, as I'll be chasing around other child(ren) in the process!
|My ventures into the wonderful world of specialty donuts in Chicago.
If you follow me on Twitter, you're aware of my antics.
And, I've decided to skim/skip the diet/weight tips in the baby books. I'd like to think that I'm kind of a healthy person. I have a basic understanding of nutrition and calories. I think I know enough to make sure my body is fueled for the day and that Baby is happy and kicking. I'm not going to worry about what some book tells me I need to eat. I know what I need to eat and that is what I'm going to keep doing. (Although, I'm still following the no-no list like sushi, hot dogs, etc.)
I think it was hard in the beginning as this whole pregnancy thing is new to me. I wasn't really showing, I wasn't feeling any kicking, yet I was gaining weight. In the end, now that I'm actually looking pregnant and feeling pregnant, I feel better about the weight I've gained. It is for the good of the baby and that's all I need to be concerned with. I thank you all for your continued love and support as I continue to make this long and strange trip, also known as pregnancy!

text: OK, here we go again, another problem with the office. While I was working I heard a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. I thought "oh no, not again". When I checked it out I saw water dripping from the fan and the floor was wet. Great, another leak. I called my husband immediately to tell the landlord about that. A little bit later the door bell rang and the guy from upstairs was in front of my door. He apologized once again and said that he was using some water pressure machine to clean his bathroom. We found out that the water was dripping in from outside and the fan isn't really water proof. We will need to fix that soon as the raining season will start in June.

1. Clicker Script- this is a very nice script font that isn't too slanted or over the top. It's how I wanted my cursive handwriting to look when I was a teenager. Makes a great font for wedding crafts.
2. KG Call me Maybe- I can;t look at this font without the song coming into my head. It doesn't make sense, but this font totally fits that song- young, hip, trendy and fun.
3. Janda Cheerful Script- this is another of my favorite script fonts. It has a slight slant to it but with some cute whimsical touches that don't make it too stuffy. Another one of my favorites for wedding crafts. Janda Celebration Script is an honorable mention... it would have taken the place of the cheerful script except that I'm not crazy about all of the characters.
4. Penelope Anne- this is an all caps font and one of the thinnest fonts you can find. I really like a thin font. Reminds me of writing with a really sharp pencil. Mix this font with a cute script and you have a cute combination.
5. A Gentle Touch- this one reminds me of my actual cursive handwriting when I was a teen. Seeing it makes me picture all of those notes I wrote in high school to friends and boyfriends, or just the doodles I did in the margins of my papers. I loved seeing my own handwriting, must be why I'm a font junkie now.
6. Quicksand Light- this is an even thinner font than Penelope Anne and I love it. It's simple and straightforward. Another newly sharpened pencil font.
There you go... my favorite fonts (at least right now). To download just click on the font name above to be taken to the download link. Thanks!

It's estimated that there are between 2-7 million cases of head trauma each year
*51% Motor Vehicle
*21% Falls
*12% Violence
*10% Sports & Recreation
Remainder – Cerebral Vascular Accidents, Birth Trauma, Surgery, etc.
Every 15 seconds, someone suffers a head injury in the U.S.
Acquired brain injury is the leading cause of disability in children and young adults.
1 million children sustain a head injury every year
2/3rds of all persons sustaining head injuries are under 30.
Young men are 2x more likely than women.
75% of patients who survive head trauma and stroke need some form of rehabilitation.
A person with severe brain injury typically faces 5-10 years of intensive services.
The Cost – more than $4 million.
Only 1 out of 20 individuals with brain injury receive appropriate rehabilitation.
90% need visual care – Gianutsos
Vision is Pervasive Throughout the Brain
65% of the sensory information to the brain is visual and there are more areas of the brain dedicated to vision than all the other sense modalities combined.
There are at least 11 pathways from retina to brain which have been identified. All the visual pathways are parallel pathways – they both send and receive information. There are also effective feedback loops at all levels of the pathways.
The eyes don't tell us what to see, the brain tells our eyes what to look for. – MacDonald
Visual processes are very involved and entwined with so many different other processes (auditory, vestibular, proprioceptive). There are more than 35 different areas in the brain identified as primarily involved with the processing of visual information and at least 305 intra-cortical pathways linking those 35 areas. Every lobe of the cerebral cortex is involved in visual information processing, and structures like the brain stem, pons, medulla, cerebellum, pineal gland are heavily involved in things like motor coordination and integration with the other senses.
The visual system is involved with processes such as balance, planning and executing motor movements, eye movement control, comprehending complex actions and ideas, sustaining attention, object identification, object localization and understanding the relationship between objects, filtering out irrelevant stimuli and memory.
Any disturbances to any of the 35 brain areas primarily or totally involved with the processing of visual information and any of the more than 350 intra-neural connections BETWEEN the 35 brain areas can cause symptoms and have an effect on visual comfort and visual information processing.
Anywhere you poke in the brain, you touch an area involved with vision. – Sanet
Pathophysiology of Acquired Brain Injury
Research results at the cellular level following Acquired Brain Injury indicate that there is degenerative processes that occur in the CNS which can cause secondary damage that is NOT always proportional to the initial insult.
Mechanical stress (shearing) can cause ischemic changes and changes in receptor properties. Many times the injury is diffuse and minute and most often will not show up on x-ray, CT scan or MRI. Though injuries cannot be detected by current imaging techniques, in most cases they can still be devastating and significantly affect overall function. It is the abruptness of visual performance deficits resulting from ABI that makes compensation difficult.
Two Subdivisions of the Visual Pathway – Parvo/Magno
There are two subdivisions of the pathway from the retina to the brain, the parvocellular pathway and the magnocellular pathway. The parvo pathway is also called the focal/central pathway. It is made up more from the macular and paramacular cells or the 'What is it' system. It is involved with seeing 20/20, and is detail and color oriented. It is slower to process and under more of our conscious awareness. The magno is also called the ambient/peripheral pathway or the 'Where is it?' system. It is made up of the peripheral retina. It is more under our subconscious awareness, involved with location of objects in space and their relationship to one another and movement detection.
Optimally, both the focal and ambient visual systems reinforce one another and function synergistically. A strong integration between our central and peripheral vision systems is critical for most of our daily tasks, such as reading and driving. Our side vision allows us to locate objects and process where they are in space, but our clear, central vision tells us what it is we're looking at. When our focal (central) and our ambient (peripheral) processes are out of balance, it interferes with all aspects of performance.
Interference in the Ambient Process – Significant Cause of Vision Problems in ABI
A significant cause of visual difficulties in ABI is interference with the Ambient Process. Disturbances in the ambient process cause an inability to organize spatial information with other sensory-motor systems. Since the two pathways integrate together, if the ambient process is affected, the focal process is affected.
Examples of Visual Skills that can be Affected in ABI
*Visual Acuity – clarity of sight
*Ocular Motility – eye movement control
*Binocularity – eye teaming ability
*Accommodation – focusing ability
*Visual Fields – peripheral vision
*Visual Midline – matching visual-spatial information with the body
*Visual-Motor Integration – vision guiding the intelligent movement of the body
*Visual Information Processing – making sense out of what is seen
*Visual Memory/Visualization – remembering what is seen
Why Vision is a Big Part in Treatment
Due to the pervasive nature of vision, visual problems that can accompany head injury can be quite varied, even with similar diagnosis. Visual dysfunctions are often "hidden" in that they may not be obvious to the caregiver, or they may not be understood or adequately described by the patient.
Vision is often just thought of as seeing clearly and having a full visual field, so often the members of a rehabilitation team do not know that vision is affecting so many areas of function. Unfortunately, although 90% of those individuals receiving rehabilitation have vision problems, most rehabilitation teams do not include a neuro-optometrist.
Why Neuro-Optometrists are Valuable to a Rehabilitation Team
Neuro-optometrists can evaluate the patient's visual abilities and the effect that visual deficits are having on the patient's overall rehabilitation process and include treatment plans to remediate or compensate for them.
Including optometric treatment such as lenses, prisms, filters, occlusion or neuro-visual therapy can significantly facilitate the progress of rehabilitation because many of the tests and treatment regimens by the rehabilitation team members are dependent upon the function and efficiency of the visual system. Since the visual system affects the input and output of information to the brain and motor systems, remediating the visual problems can often speed up the recovery process.
Main Goals of Rehabilitation
– To help the patient eliminate or compensate for visual problems
– To help the patient become more independent
– To help the patient re-enter their former occupation or to be trained for a new one
– To improve the patient's quality of life (often by increasing the ability to efficiently perform activities for daily life skills)
Areas that must improve in order to improve quality of life
*Visual function – oculomotor, accommodation, binocularity
*Visual Information Processing abilities
*Motor function – general movement abilities, bilaterality, eye-hand coordination, balance
*Attention – Especially Visual Attention
*Central-Peripheral Integration
*Ability to filter and to integrate multiple stimuli
*Reaching a patient's goals
Get A Comprehensive Vision Evaluation By A Neuro-Optometrist
If you or someone you know has had a head injury including seemingly minor jogs to the head, such as whiplash, concussion and sports injury, it could have affected overall visual function. If double vision was ever experienced or if academic, work or sports performance has been affected, we recommend making an appointment to thoroughly examine the visual system and rule out any visual insult that may have been incurred. Remember that not all optometrists work in this area, so it is important to seek out a neuro-optometrist for a specialized examination that will look at more than seeing clearly and eye health.

|digestive problems
May 17, 2007
I am on a combo of atazanavir, ritonavir, nevirapine, and tenofovir, i think the atazanavir is the cause of horrific reflux, i can only eat porridge and yoghurt and drink protein shakes, any other food stuff leaves me in agony and sometimes i end up vomiting it back up, i tried ranitadine but had awful side effects. any suggestions would be grateful thanks james
Response from Dr. Henry
Of your current drugs the ritonavir is usually the most irritating to the stomach. If you have significant reflux then often a more potent acid reducer (such as proton pump inhibitor) is needed. In that case atazanavir may not be the best drug since its effectiveness may be compromised when administered with potent acid reducing agents. Getting an endoscopy and/or H pylori evaluation often can be helpful. I would also have some concern about using nevirapine and atazanavir/ritonavir regarding a negative drug interaction (possibly a good indication for checking blood levels of atazanavir). KH
