What Is the Latest News About Apple Products?

David Andrews · May 13, 2015
Apple Loop is on standby to remind the people of the most important news regarding Apple. As we can all notice, there are a lot of news about Apple these days. We can't blame it as the company is on the stage of unveiling attractive and exciting devices. The issues about iPhone 7, Apple Watch, iPad Pro and the rest are just some of the most intriguing news about Apple nowadays.
One of the Apple-related things that everyone should know is the release of iOS 8.3. Unlike Android Lollipop, the rollout of iOS 8.3 is very slick and fast. As a matter of fact, the majority of the eligible Apple handsets and devices are already upgrading from iOS 8.2 to iOS 8.3 in a short period of time. The company is also very fast when it comes to locking out the older iOS version that may possibly have a variety of bugs that we need to avoid.
Also, another news that we should remember is the possibility that Apple might release a brand new flagship model of iPhone this coming September 2015. This idea is based from the hardware release cycle of Apple in the past years. It is also rumored that the company will also release two new models as the replacements for its current flagships – the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible?

Is it possible "politically" to give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany?
If Poland and germany would have to pay for it, how much would those areas cost?
If not money, what would Russia and Ukraine want in return for Lwow and kaliningrad?
THE HITMAN - | 236
Warsaw and Berlin. lol
Sokrates 8 | 3,346
No, both Lwów and Kaliningrad are poor regions that would require extensive investment that neither country can afford, also Kaliningrad is far from Germany and both Poland and Germany dont have the population to effectively settle these regions.
The problem associated with these two regions is that in an unlikely even that they come aquirable they come together with Ukrainians and poverty or Russians and poverty, neither is desirable.

Hm.. so, you say that after we finish brand new stadium in Wroclaw and brand new highway around it, you want us to give it back for some city 600 km away?
(because you know, you can't forget about Wroclaw in such exchange...)
No chance in hell! If you like Lwów so much, then you can emigrate there. There is no need for geopolitical earthshaking just for you ;-)
OP David_18 68 | 982
neither is desirable.
They do have some historical value!!!
Then go and write a book about it!
Kaliningrad hasn't any anymore whatsoever...Stalin made sure of that as he let the old Königsberg raze to the ground.
It's a russian town today...strange and with foreign people...nothing german about it anymore.
(Even if they try to woo german tourists lately with renovating prussian heritage buildings)
So no from Germany, Russia can keep it!
Yes they do but today Lwów is a dilapidated underdeveloped and ruined city and Kaliningrad is a third world AIDS infested hellhole.

Some times i really wonder how the west slavs can be related to the east slavs.

It would cost, at least in the sense of the Lviv Oblast - a huge problem with a large minority that doesn't want to be in Poland and a huge amount of money to bring Western Ukraine to anything approaching Polish standards. Anyone that's actually been and compared SE Poland to Western Ukraine will know just how crushingly large the differences are. Bear in mind that Poland can hardly afford to deal with her own blackspots - she doesn't have a chance in hell of managing to afford to incorporate the Lviv Oblast too.
I've seen it with my own eyes last summer - it's literally 5 minutes walk from the Opera and 10 minutes from the Rynok. And yes, my reaction was along the lines of "what in the ****...?". Plenty of stray dogs going about, too.
Why? Poland was given access to the West very quickly and wasn't so badly neglected as the outposts of the USSR were. If you knew your history, you'd understand this ;) And to be fair - that street is by far the worst thing in the centre of Lviv.
A street in the centre of Lwó
Did a bomb explode there???
Probably the age old problem in Ukraine - the street was due to be renovated, but the money went walkies and nothing got finished.
Why? Poland was given access to the West very quickly and wasn't so badly neglected as the outposts of the USSR were. If you knew your history, you'd understand this ;)
can you explain me this?
How come that in over 1000 years the russian people have been opressed by their own leaders, and haven't lifted a finger about it. While the Polish people have been free, and when their freedoom was taken away they fought to regain it?
I mean are the russians dumb? how hard is it to make a uprising? just look at the poles, when something ain't right they revolt.
What im trying to say is that, the russians and the people under their influence lives in poverty because of the lifestyle they been having for the last 1000 years.
Not much to explain - post 1989, Poland joined the "West" way of doing things very very quickly. In fact, as early as September 1989, Western experts were being brought to Poland to advise and consult on the best way forward. This didn't happen in Russia/Ukraine.
How come that in over 1000 years the russian people have been opressed and haven't lifted a finger about it.
They like strong leadership, that much is certain. I think the Russian character also prefers stability over freedom - look at the chaotic instability of the Polish State versus the somewhat stable Russian State. And to be fair - a strong centre is what keeps Russia together - after all, "Russia" is really made up of so many different components and nationalities.
I mean are the russians dumb? how hard is it to make a uprising?
Bit of an oversimplification, don't you think?
just look at the poles, when something ain't right they revolt.
Actually, Poles were crushed very easily on several occasions in history.
Actually, I wouldn't say that the majority of people in Russia and the Russian sphere of influence are living in poverty. It may not be the high life, but the vast majority of them are clothed, housed, watered and fed. Poverty is when you don't have at least one of those things - and they do.
And let's not forget that there is a lot of money floating around those countries too.
There was no freedom for the common people the last 1000 years anywhere...it started kind of with the US (minus the slaves), and then somehow democracy developed...with breaks...in some countries...but that it's about it.
The Russians are late comer and winning WWII didn't help to make a clean cut with old structures and thinking (like in Germany)...but not 1000 years late...maybe 70 years or so..
(Don't scream at me...that was world history in one sentence and a veeeeery broad generalization)
"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"
Rafał Leszczyński The Palatine of Posen
you can't forget about Wroclaw in such exchange...)
you stupid ****** shut your mug
Delphia is correct, they basically did their best to renovate stuff since Lwów apart from the centre ranges from a mild mess to a complete sh*thole, but they didnt have the money to finish it, same with loads of buildings and other streets, the plans were ambitious so they started loads of projects without regard to the money and now they're f*cked.
Things are going forwards though, citizens get running water in Lwów downtown 24/7 since 2008.
at the chaotic instability of the Polish State versus the somewhat stable Russian State.
You went a little overboard calling Poland unstable and very overboard calling Russia stable.
how hard is it to make a uprising?
Extremely hard, out of 5 major national uprisings only two Greater Poland ones were succesfull in Poland and we were a lot more organised and efficient then Russians or even Germans, we had the best army in Europe in one of them and they still failed.
Also against whom would Russians rebel?
The fact is Lwów survived intact and Ukrainians messed it up, Russians moonscaped Breslau and when it became Wrocław we rebuilt it, though not to its former glory, the job we did was pretty decent.
People like you want to exchange a city that Ukraine has messed up for 50 years for a city we've rebuilt practically from scratch and developed into one of Polands major metropolis.
citizens get running water in Lwów downtown 24/7 since 2008.
HAHAHHA seriously?
Hot water that is, Lwów was using old Polish and Habsburg pipe system that saw little renovation or maintnance after Poland fell in 1939, years ago the plumbing went down and it took a lot of effort and money to bring running hot water to some sections of Lwów, they solved it in 2008.
Also David while Ukrainians are poor they're not cavemen, for all their faults they're our neighbours i'm not pleased when Westerners sh*t on Poland because they've got more moola, lets not do it to others eh?
They already did that, Tsardom changed the name to Communism and that was it.
Yeah...I thought the same...as if any revolution brought any progress to the common folks...just the murderers and blood suckers changed.
What are you about?I don't think about exchange. I angry because some people have coded in their brains that regaining our land in the east automatically means that we have to give up lands in the west.
That connection is not logical nor right, it is connection made by communist propaganda, so deeply ingrained that some brainless schmooze cannot get it out of his head.
Neighbours or not. They have a country that they got no historical rights too.
Rich or poor, i don't care.
I angry because some people have coded in their brains that regaining our land in the east automatically means that we have to give up lands in the west.
But it does, newsflash for you Germans want stuff back, they're not willing to go to war or take it back via any sort of malevolent action, they dont have the population to do it either but they still want Wrocław back, if Poland re-aquires Lwów the question of Wrocław will rise the moment some Steinbach monkey comes to prominence in Germany.
That connection is not logical nor right
See above, it is logical. Lwów was Polish, Wrocław was German, the situation is analogous.
They have a country that they got no historical rights too.
Lets assume we get Lwów back what then? Do you kick the Ukrainians out? If not then how do you integrate them into Poland, if yes then where will Poland get engineers, doctors, teachers, policemen, firemen and all these people essential to running a large city to settle in Lwów? We have a shortage of these people already.
Rights or no rights, we've got a good peace in Europe and a good peace in Poland, there's no point in destroying it, not even for Lwów.
Right or no rights, we've got a good peace in Europe and a good peace in Poland, there's no point in destroying it, not even for Lwów.
That's the same opinion 99,9 percent of the Germans have regarding the former eastern territories.
We have a good thing going here, no need to destroy everything because one thing should be clear...there will be no peaceful "rearranging" of geographical, political facts.
So better don't open that special pandora box.
Where is a will there is a way, right now I'm talking about will, and mucho depend on a way it will be done - so is good to predict some problems to find a way to avoid them- is that clear enough ?
Lwów was Polish, Wrocław was German, the situation is analogous.
Germans lost. Poland won( at last theoretically), German aggressors, evicting population, grabbing land - who seeds wind, harvest tempest or what goes around comes around :)
Similar doesn't means the same!
Wrocław back, if Poland re-aquires Lwów the question of Wrocław will rise the moment some Steinbach monkey comes to prominence in Germany.
Ever heard about the silesian piasts? Wroclaw and the whole Silesia was ruled under the Silesian branch of the polish piasts untill the end of the 1700'th century.
Lets assume we get Lwów back what then? Do you kick the Ukrainians out?
No :) We let them work for us, like they'e been doing for centuries.
MareGaea 29 | 2,752
We want Belgium and Luxemburg back so the Low Countries can become one again!
>^..^<
M-G (belligerent)
What are you waiting for then? Viva la revulition!!!!
Similar doesn't means the same
But it is...you are as able to get your hands back on Lwow as Germany can do with Breslau.
It's the same!
Better concentrate on Ukraine getting into the EU and therefore opening up the Ukraine/Lwow for Poles and renovating/rebuilding it with EU-support.
Everything else might be entertaining thought games for some but absolutely unrealistic!

Sir Elton John is among 63 alleged phone-hacking victims to file fresh compensation claims against the Sun and now defunct tabloid the News of the World.
The claims have been filed at the High Court against publishers News Group Newspapers with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay also among them, the BBC reports.
Last week nine new phone hacking compensation claims were also filed against the News of the World (NotW), including actor David Tennant and ex Formula One driver Eddie Irvine.
News Corp, the NotW's former owners, opened a compensation scheme as an alternative to litigation, but closed it to further applications on 8 April, 2013, after hundreds of claims.
The latest claims include stories published by the Sun after a High Court judge ruled in April 2016 that there was enough evidence for claims against the paper to be heard.
Hamlins Solicitors are understood to be representing a total of 91 phone hacking claimants.


It is frustrating, brain-hacked, finger-cut, crazy and insane mode.
The most fun brain game in history, simple taps to jump, but hard to reach the ideal goals, each time you will end in regret!
Jump up step by step, left or right? Step carefully, Step accurately.
A small mistake, lead to a big panic!
It is better to taps in two hands, the left thumb taps on the left to jump left, the right thumb taps on the right to jump right. The rule is simple, but you must focus with wide eyes open!

Real estate industry poised for a tech disruption in 2019
A 'For Sale' sign hangs in front of a home on Jan. 26, 2016. (AP / John Bazemore)
Linda Nguyen, The Canadian Press
Published Tuesday, January 1, 2019 11:52AM PST
TORONTO - Real estate agent Shawn Zigelstein remembers a time, just a few years ago, when a printer, scanner and fax machine were the most important tools of his trade.
Now, those gadgets are nearly obsolete.
"I don't even know the last time I sent a fax, to be honest with you," laughs Zigelstein, a sales rep with a Royal LePage brokerage in Richmond Hill, Ont.
"Oh the dilemmas we used to have were unbelievable. Now our clients can open their phone up, push a few buttons and the (offer) papers are signed."
Zigelstein says the adoption of technology in real estate has grown exponentially over the past few years and it's a trend he thinks will only grow as more options become available and realtors scramble to lure in the millennial market.
"The agents that are not adapting to this change are going to see their business drop considerably because they can't adapt fast enough," he said.
From smartphone apps like Loom, which allows realtors to remotely share screens and presentation slides with clients, to digital signatures that can be sent verified with phones and tablets, technology is shaping a new way for realtors do business.
Historically, the real estate industry has been a "laggard" when it comes to embracing technology, says Frank Magliocco, a partner at PwC Canada who specializes in the housing market.
"But I think what you're going to see now is a fairly significant ramp up in embracing that technology once it becomes more mainstream," he said.
"It'll be increasingly important to remain and be competitive in the marketplace. Once you see these technologies prove out, you'll see more and more adoption."
According to PwC, proptech, broadly defined as technology used in the real estate market, was a US$4.6 billion industry in Canada and the U.S. in 2016. Last year, that figure climbed to US$7.3 billion, an indication that interest and opportunity in the space has also grown.
Magliocco says proptech, which he called the cousin to the banking industry's fintech, can refer to anything from online listings websites to smart buildings that use big data to automate heating and lighting to 3D printing homes.
"Think about the banking industry years ago, before fintech... banking had to done in person, it came in and changed the entire business model. Now you deposit a cheque and transfer money and you can do everything on your phone," he said.
"Real estate used to be every transaction had to be heavy on the paper with lots of lawyers involved and surveyors going out to check the space and measure the space. That's not needed anymore."
Stephen Jagger, the co-founder of IMRE, a company that runs an artificial intelligence personal assistant for realtors, says technology is so embedded in daily life that clients expect to be able to use it in their real estate transactions.
IMRE's chatbot can respond to basic questions from prospective clients on behalf of a realtor 24 hours a day through text and social networks. It uses machine learning to answer questions about a listing, such as price, the number of bedrooms and what school district the home is located in. However, the bot can't answer subjective queries meant for a realtor, such as comparisons of different neighbourhoods.
Jagger says this type of technology doesn't replace a real estate agent, but like all good technology, it enhances their jobs.
"(Realtors know) you have to be responsive in five minutes or you lose the lead," said Jagger, whose company is based in Vancouver. "It lets realtors focus on the high-level tasks, like showing a house, instead of answering random questions all the time."
However, Toronto realtor Cam Woolfrey says technology isn't going to make the real estate industry obsolete.
"(A realtor) with experience can make the experience," he said.
"Clients actually see a dollar value in that. If you have the knowledge and experience, then clients will see that as invaluable."

Кевин Макхејл (; Хибинг, 19. децембар 1957) бивши је амерички кошаркаш. Играо је на позицији крилног центра и целу професионалну каријеру провео у Бсотону. Са Бостоном је освојио три НБА титуле и два пута је био номинован за најбољег шестог играча НБА лиге.

Каријера
Кевин је рођен у малом граду Хибингу од оца Пола Остина Макхејла и мајке Жозефине Патриције Старчевић. Средњу школу је похађао у родном граду, где је почео тренирати кошарку. Наставио је играти и на колеџу за Универзитет у Минесоти. Будући да је био висок 2,08 метара, играо је на позицији крилног центра. Током четири године је просечно бележио 15,2 поена и 8,5 скокова по утакмици.

Бостон селтикси
Након завршетка колеџа изашао је на НБА драфт 1980. године где је изабран као 3.пик од стране Бостон селтикса. Иако је улази са клупе Кевин је већ у првој сезони имао снажан утицај на игру Бостона, који је дошао до 62 победе у регуларном делу сезоне. У плејофу Селтикси су одиграли маестрално, а Кевин је посебно био важан у 6. мечу против Филаделфије каа је блокирао Ендру Тонија 16 секунди пред крај утакмице. У финалу против Хјустона Селтикси су дошли до своје 14. титуле у историји, а Кевин до своје прве.

Након тога две сезоне Бостон не успева да дође до финала. 1983. године због незадовољства у клубу Кевин је био на прагу потписивања уговора са Никсима. Међутим Ред Ауербак је брзо реаговао и са Кевином потписао продужетак уговора, по којем је добијао милион долара по сезони. Тим уговором Кевин Мекхејл је постао 4. најплаћенији кошаркаш НБА лиге.  Након тога у сезони 1983/84. Кевин је први пут номинован за најбољег шестог играча НБА лиге, што успева и наредне сезоне. После тесне победе у седам утакмица финала Источне конференције, Селтиксе су у финалу очекивали Лејкерси. Био је то прави кошаркашки рат, а управо је Кевин тешким фаулом над Курт Рамбисом променио ток четврте утакмице, коју је Бостон победио у продужетку. Бостонси тако стижу до своје 15. титуле. Фебруара 1985. године због повреде Седрика Максвела, Кевин коначно добија улогу у стартној постави. Кевин 3. марта 1985. године постиже рекордних 56 поена против Детроита. Само дан касније Кевин постиже 42 поена у победи над Никсима. Само 9 дана након Кевинових 56 поена, [[Лари Берд] постиже 60 против Атланте. Ипак те сезоне не успевају да дођу до титуле против Лејкерса у финалу, иако је је Кевин предводио "зелене" са просеком од 26 поена и 10,7 скокова.

Наредне сезоне Бостон успева да освоји још једну титулу, 16. у историји, а тај тим је проглашен за један од најбољих у исторји НБА лиге. Бостон је те године појачао ростер довођењем искусног Била Волтона, који је титулу освајао са Портландом. У регуларном делу сезоне су дошли до 67 победа уз само 15 пораза. По други пут у пет године у финалу их је чекао Хјустон. Кевин је опет био најбољи стрелац са просечних 25,8 поена.

У наредној сезони Кевин је номинован за идеалну петорку НБА лиге. 27 марта. 1987. године на утакмици против Чикага је поломио кост у стопалу што је умногоме утицало на дањи ток првеснтва. Иако се задњих сезона нису домогли титула, Селтикси су били редовни учесници плеј-офа. Играчку каријеру окончао је 1993. године

You may think that since there is no sea in Paris, it is difficult to sail... Well, it's not true! There are about 10 recreation centers around Paris where you can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, kayaking... One of them (located in Choisy-le-Roy) is only about 15 minutes away from the center of Paris (check the list - in French only - here). Of course, I did not not take this photo there... But at the Tuileries gardens, where they also offer sailing... but with toy boats that they rent by the hour (for 4 euros)! God did I love that when I was a child LOL!
I love to watch (and clandestinely photograph) the cute kids sailing these colorful boats. I can just picture you (wearing short pants, I'm afraid). I'll bet you were adorable!
This looks more like a Monet than this Monet.
Oh that sounds like so much fun. And the picture is lovely.
OH Eric, maybe I"m closing in on being a "sort of " Parisian. I took one look at that photo and said, " Jardins des Tuilieries"! I recognized those boats immediately. Thank you for bringing back some nice nice memories.
This reminds me of the Judy Collins' song..."My father always promised us that we would live in France, We'd go boating on the Seine, and I would learn to dance..."
If I had a toy boat, I'd want one like that.
Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat...still can't say that three times fast. Lovely photo, lovely memories.
Lovely! I would like to go sailing, I haven't been since I was a child!
Great shot. Have fond memories of the Tuileries as well. Didn't we used to pay to sit on the chairs back then ?
Looks like a painting, very lovely.
@TF...I actually do remember paying to sit on the chairs in the Tuileries also...and I think it was 1973...Hmmm?

Drayer: Hutch Award winner Dee Gordon makes most of virtual ceremony
By Shannon Drayer
Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon is the 55th Fred Hutch Award winner. (AP)
In a normal year, Hutch Award winner Dee Gordon would have been honored at a luncheon on outfield grass at T-Mobile Park prior to a ballgame.
Previously: Dee Gordon named 55th annual Hutch Award winner
Earlier in the day he would have toured the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center campus, had the opportunity to talk with award-winning scientists who are working to find cures to cancer and meet with the children of patients at the Hutch School. It's always been an incredible and eye-opening day for the previous Hutch Award winners.
This of course is a different time and circumstances required a different celebration, this one online. Hosted by Rick Rizzs and Mike Gastineau, Gordon participated from his home in Florida, and viewers were treated to an hour of baseball talk with former Hutch Award winners Raúl Ibañez and Jamie Moyer and Clemente Award winner Harold Reynolds.
The award, which is housed at the Baseball Hall of Fame, is given annually to the player who best exemplifies the fighting spirit of Fred Hutchinson. The luncheon is a fund raiser for the FHCRC, which has now turned much of its focus to battling COVID-19. The award is named after the former Major Leaguer and manager who hailed from Seattle and died of cancer at the age of 45. His brother, Dr. Bill Hutchinson, founded the research center in 1965 with the first Hutch Award being given that year to Mickey Mantle.
"This award is amazing," said Gordon. "I am just so happy and blessed to be a part of this and be the 55th award winner with the Hall of Fame pedigree that comes with this award. My family and I are amazed to be the winner of it."
Gordon was then joined by Ibañez, Moyer and Reynolds, which appeared to be a treat for him as he had history with all three men. Moyer lockered next to Dee's father Tom Gordon when they played for the Phillies and often got an earful from the younger Gordon, who would tell him time and time again that one day, he would be a professional ballplayer too.
"He would always tell me make sure you get your degree, make sure you stay in school," Gordon remembered about Moyer. "And I just watched the things he did and now to have him here for me, getting an award for doing good things, this just brings it full circle. It's crazy, everyone on the panel I have a side story with. I met Harold when I was a little kid on the airplane. Raúl played with my dad in '09."
Gordon revealed that while his time was short with both men growing up as his dad moved around the game a lot, he took a little something with him from them when he left.
"I can tell them now," he said with a laugh. "I stole… Jamie had a these thick-handle bats and I used Raúl's bats. They were so heavy, I could use them as weighted bats. I can tell them now, I appreciate it!"
No hard feelings for either transgression. Gordon has more than made up for the youthful transgression, according to Ibañez.
"The impact that you are making outside the game of baseball, the impact that you are making as a man, a human being, it's going to transcend anything you do on the field," he said. "I think it speaks volumes to the character of the man and the individual and the impact on the lives that you are making on those around you. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this or of you as a man, a great player yes, but as a human being even greater."
Gordon has a long history of giving back. From his Flash of Hope program to support families of victims of domestic violence to the work he has done overseas in impoverished areas to more recently providing thousands of meals to needy families during the coronavirus shutdown, giving back is a part of who Dee Gordon is.
"I've got an uncle Anthony and aunt Donna, they go far and beyond for our family and others," Gordon said. "Me doing it is just water under the bridge to the fact that they do it every day on a normal life. I do it to make sure I hold my family legacy to the people that they are a high standard as well. Honestly just growing up I just had a soft spot if somebody didn't have the same blessings I had, that's why."

On 13 November 2017 it will be 60 years to the day since British scientists launched the Skylark rocket programme.
To mark the anniversary, the Science Museum is opening an exhibition that explores the story behind this remarkable project. It will reveal the lesser-known elements of the history of Britain's first space rocket, from the scientists and engineers who designed it to the data gathered from its pioneering flights.
Designed at the height of the Cold War, Skylark was originally intended for military research, with experiments carried on-board helping to develop the Blue Streak ballistic missile. But the broader scientific value of Skylark quickly became apparent, and researchers were keen to use the rocket to learn more about the Earth, Sun and deep space. In 1957–58 the rocket was the star of Britain's contribution to the International Geophysical Year—a global project to research the physics of the Earth.
Flying to heights beyond the reach of existing scientific balloons, Skylark could perform numerous experiments during its 10-minute flight time. During a single mission, researchers could gather data to help them explore new and exotic areas of fundamental scientific interest, from measuring the temperature, density and wind direction of the upper atmosphere to conducting the first X-ray surveys of the southern sky.
The exhibition will include archive footage of Skylark flights and interviews with the space scientists who used it and helped to build it. Visitors can also discover through the objects on display how Skylark was instrumental in giving them the experience and expertise to work on ground-breaking future space missions including the Ariel 1 satellite and the Giotto spacecraft.
Britain launched a total of 441 Skylark missions over 50 years, making it one of the longest and most successful rocket programmes in the world. The knowledge generated by British teams with Skylark underpins the leading position in the global space science community that Britain occupies today.

E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like – Jeremy Engel
our "E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like" section is dedicated to Jeremy Engel. I discovered this Artist while shuffling songs on Spotify and I liked his magical music.
From the very first notes, I realized that I was in front of a great singer-songwriter.
An artist capable of putting all of his passion and soul into his songs.
A unique, nostalgic and very expressive voice that manages to touch the listener's heart and soul. These deep words and ethereal melodies are able to transport the listener into a wonderful sonic journey.
The chord progression is never predictable and banal and the musical arrangements are placed like a thin veil on the melody, adding a refined touch to the whole song.
A delicate and well thought-out music that delves deep into human emotions and that manages to make you forget for a moment of the problems of everyday life, giving you a unique and magical moment.
Secret Place is Jeremy Engel's Single Out Now!
Pure and Refined!
Jeremy was born in Normandy, France, and spent much of his life traveling around Europe while working as an interpreter for the United Nations. As a result, he gained the broad perspective that would come to define his songwriting. Somewhere along the way, he fell in love with Irish culture, and settled down there in 2006. After many long nights in pubs absorbing traditional Irish music, he decided to embrace his life long dream of becoming a songwriter in his own right.

The Design Museum has long been one of our favourite places to drop by for an inspirational wander, so it's been a joy to build a strong relationship with them in recent years. Our artists have contributed to installations, we've taken over their Instagram on more than one occasion, and we're always in touch with them about future projects.
We were particularly excited, then, to hear of their upcoming Stanley Kubrick exhibition. I say 'we' were excited, but our excitement pales into significance next to that of long-time self-confessed Kubrick super-fan Danny Sangra, who was very keen to get involved.
To cut a not-that-long story short, you should watch for some Danny-related activity on the Design Museum social media in the lead-up to the exhibition in April, with more to come. Viddy thee well, my droogies.


Eurogamer 2010 Hands On: Medal of Honor Multiplayer - This Is My Joystick!
One of the longest queues at Eurogamer on Friday was for the Medal of Honor Multiplayer. Thankfully for me I had Neil and Ray to keep me company while I stood for an hour waiting patiently for my turn. After a very slow shuffle and having fought the growing need for a toilet break I finally took my seat, picked up the PS3 pad and prepared myself for the Taliban.
A large amount of the press surrounding EA's newest addition to the Medal of Honor franchise has been regarding the opposition you face throughout the game rather than the game itself, so it was nice to finally get past all the hype and find out how it actually played. It is worth noting that although you do see your opponents as Taliban soldiers (no longer known as Taliban in the game), they are not controllable.
The first thing that you immediately notice about Medal of Honor is the visuals; there really is incredible detail on everything. The map played was a mountainous area with caves and buildings for cover either side of a sandy road which contains plenty of cover spots and good sniper positions to find and utilise. You can comfortably scout your opposition before taking a shot and some of the death animations are just classic war film.
Be afraid, he's wearing a mask.
The sound effects are also pretty impressive, the gunfire literally rattles around your head at times. Obviously the show floor is not the easiest place to judge a games atmosphere but you can certainly see the potential when sitting in your living room with the surround sound in full effect. I think at one point I actually ducked to avoid the bullets.
The multiplayer demo was set up as a standard team deathmatch with a points total to reach rather than a time limit and the game went on for around 10-15 minutes in total, although it felt much less. There are three classes to choose from in total which are Rifleman; your general all rounder, Special Ops; better for closer combat and Sniper; better for longer range attacks. These are both customisable and swappable at every respawn meaning you don't end up totally frustrated after a couple of minutes when you realise you picked the wrong set up.
The controls are set up as every FPS worth its salt now is with Fire R1, Scope L1, Grenades R2 and Explosives L2. The face buttons likewise follow a familiar trend of Square to reload, Triangle swap weapon, O crouch and X to jump. This makes the game instantly comfortable to play, although being an XBOX 360 man it did take me a while to readjust to the PS3 pad.
I enjoyed the demo and as I mentioned earlier, it looks amazing but here's the problem: Medal of Honor multiplayer really does not have anything to set it apart from other titles on the market. The obvious comparison is with a certain other war franchise that is also due its latest addition over the next few weeks and the pending release of Activision's title is bound to draw even more comparisons when MoH is released next Friday.
I was slightly disappointed not to at least be given an opportunity to see what the single player campaign has to offer as this is where the title could differentiate itself from the competition. It is hard to imagine that with Halo Reach only recently released and Black Ops looming on the horizon that too many will rush out and buy this based on its multiplayer modes but if the numbers are there, on this showing it will definitely offer plenty of enjoyment.

Assassins may have made a binary weapon of Kim Jong-nam's face
Health 2 March 2017
By Debora Mackenzie

MOHD RASFAN/AFP/Getty
There has been a twist in the mystery of how the super-deadly nerve gas VX turned up on a man murdered at Kuala Lumpur airport last week, without the collateral damage that would normally be expected with such a deadly chemical. The attackers seem to have made a binary chemical weapon out of Kim Jong-nam's face.
Kim Jong-nam was the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. He died last week in an ambulance after falling ill at Kuala Lumpur airport. Two women were seen on CCTV wiping his face with their hands before he sought medical help. Malaysian authorities later announced there were traces of VX gas on Kim's face.
VX is so lethal that minute amounts can sicken and kill. Yet the attackers survived, and no one in the airport or ambulance reported symptoms, mystifying chemical weapons experts.
But with reports that one of the two attackers vomited afterwards, a possible cunning scheme is beginning to emerge. Because VX is so dangerous, chemical artillery shells and bombs meant to deliver it normally contain two separate chemicals, sulphur, and a complex but non-toxic compound called QL.
Two-part weapon
In such "binary" weapons, these are blended at the last minute to make VX. The US and Russia both have stockpiles of such weapons which they are destroying under the Chemical Weapons Treaty.
Vipin Narang at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has suggested that this is why two people were needed to attack Kim, and only one was ill afterwards. The first would have wiped a sulphur-containing liquid on his face. The second applied QL – and so would have picked up a little of the just-formed VX herself, even though both women immediately washed their hands.
Vomiting is a classic symptom of such brief, minute exposure. The convulsions with which Kim later died are also consistent with a lethal exposure to VX.

Hate-A-Rama: The Vulgar, Sexist, Racist, Homophobic Rage of the Left
Barack Obama's new era of civility was over before it began. You wouldn't know it from reading The New York Times, watching Katie Couric or listening to the Democratic manners police. But America has been overrun by foul-mouthed, fist-clenching wildebeests.
Yes, the tea party movement is responsible –for sending these liberal goons into an insane rage, that is. After enduring two years of false smears as sexist, racist, homophobic barbarians, it is grassroots conservatives and taxpayer advocates who have been ceaselessly subjected to rhetorical projectile vomit. It is Obama's rank-and-file "community organizers" on the streets fomenting the hate against their political enemies. Not the other way around.
The trendy new epithet among Big Labor organizers who've been camping out at the Madison, Wis., Capitol building for more than a week to block GOP Gov. Scott Walker's budget reform bill: "Koch whore." Classy, huh? It's a reference to the reviled Koch brothers, David and Charles, who have used their energy-industry wealth to support limited-government activism. A left-wing agitator based in Buffalo who impersonated Koch in a prank phone call this week used the slur to headline his "gonzo journalism" report. (If a right-leaning activist had perpetrated such a stunt, he'd be labeled a radical, stalking fraudster. But that's par for the media's double-standards course.)
The 20-minute phone call undermined the grand Koch conspiracy by exposing that Walker didn't know Koch at all. No matter. "Koch whore" is the new "Halliburton whore." The Captains of Civility are sticking to it. And the sanctimonious "No Labels" crowd is missing in action—just like Wisconsin's Fleebagger Democrats.
Sexual vulgarity is a common theme in the left's self-styled "solidarity" movement. Among the Madison pro-union signs the national media chose not to show you: "Buttholes for Billionaires" (complete with a photo of Walker's head placed in the middle of a graphic photo of someone's posterior) and "If teabaggers are as hot as their Fox News anchors, then I'm here for the gang bang!!!"
Last month, GOP Lieutenant Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch was subjected to similar misogyny for her outreach efforts to private businesses. Liberal WTDY radio host John "Sly" Sylvester accused her of performing "fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee" and sneered that she had "pulled a train" (a crude phrase for group sex).
At an AFSCME rally in Providence, R.I., on Tuesday, an unhinged pro-union supporter picked an unprovoked fight with a citizen journalist taping the event for public access TV. His eyes bulging, the brawler yelled: "I'll f**k you in the a**, you faggot!" After several unsuccessful minutes of trying to calm their furious ally down, the solidarity mob finally started chanting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, union-busting's got to go" to drown out his intimidating vow to follow the cameraman outside the building. Criminal charges are now pending against him. None of the local media who covered the event thought to mention the disruption in their coverage.
In Columbus, Ohio, supporters of GOP Gov. John Kasich's fiscal reforms were confronted with a fulminating union demonstrator who railed: "The tea party is a bunch of d**k-sucking corporate butt-lickers who want to crush the working people of this country."
In Denver, Colo., Leland Robinson, a gay black tea party activist and entrepreneur who criticized teachers unions at a Capitol rally, was told by white labor supporters to "get behind that fence where you belong." They called the 52-year-old limousine driver "son" and subjected him to this ugly, racially charged taunt: "Do you have any children? That you claim?"
Tea party favorite and former Godfather's Pizza President Herman Cain is another outspoken black conservative businessman who has earned the civility mob's lash. Two weeks ago, a cowardly liberal writer derided Cain as a "monkey in the window," a "garbage pail kid" and a "minstrel" who performs for his "masters." Monkey. Parrot. Puppet. Lawn jockey. Uncle Tom. Aunt Thomasina. Oreo. Coconut. Banana. We minority conservatives have heard it all.
In Washington, D.C., a multi-union protest at the offices of conservative activist group FreedomWorks resulted in one young female employee, Tabitha Hale, getting smacked with a sign by a barbarian wearing a Communications Workers of America T-shirt —and another FreedomWorks employee getting yelled at as a "bad Jew" for opposing public union monopolies and reckless spending.
In the wake of the Tucson massacre, Obama urged the nation "to do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations." He pushed for "a more civil and honest public discourse."

Three-peat NREL Intern Pushes Boundaries of Early-Stage Fuels Research on Way to Master's Degree

One intern's path through three National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) internships—culminating in her successful master's thesis—started somewhere unusual.
"I did undergrad at Seattle University and studied abroad at The Danish Institute for Study Abroad where we watched a video on energy research that mentioned NREL," Drew Cameron said. "I was so excited to discover an internship opportunity with a U.S. research institution dedicated to renewable energy."
Her interest sparked, Cameron discovered the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program that first brought her to work with the lab's Fuels and Combustion Science research team in 2014. The SULI program encourages undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Full-time graduate and undergraduate students, along with recent Ph.D. graduates, can choose from more than 10 types of internships offered through the lab and DOE. DOE's Office of Science sponsored 95 SULI internships in 2017.
For Cameron's first SULI appointment, she joined the Fuels and Combustion Science team studying fuel ignition to make automotive engines more efficient and increase the use of renewable fuels. Her work on complex gasoline-surrogate fuels, using a constant volume combustion vessel (CVCC), helped develop faster, more efficient methods of characterizing the ignition chemistry of complex gasoline-range fuels at bench scale. This important new body of NREL research quickly caught industry's attention.
"The first summer she was here, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all expressed strong interest in our findings," said Cameron's mentor and NREL Advanced Combustion and Fuels Task Lead Brad Zigler. "She made meaningful contributions from day one, and we wholeheartedly supported her pursuit of a master's based on her initial SULI project."
Cameron's thesis work at the University of Colorado Boulder brought her back to NREL through the Research Participant Program to take a deeper dive into her initial project studying the kinetics and reactivity of complex gasoline surrogates. Like all NREL interns, Cameron had an assigned mentor, but she also worked closely with Research Scientist Jon Luecke.
"It was almost like I had two mentors," Cameron said. "Brad provided me with top-level direction on the project and helped me with professional development, and Jon taught me everything in the lab."
Back in the lab with Luecke, she was introduced to the Advanced Fuel Ignition Delay Analyzer (AFIDA), a device that is making its debut in the U.S. and provides greater flexibility than the CVCC for fuel ignition kinetics research.
"Being able to advance the research I started two years ago was really appealing to me," Cameron said. "It's really valuable that we found the limits of the CVCC, and we've been able to move beyond them. The research that we're doing is not typical for the AFIDA, it was made for diesel fuel, so to push its boundaries is exciting."
Cameron is testing the limits of the AFIDA by demonstrating its ability to characterize the ignition behavior of a simple, well-understood set of gasoline range fuels. Her identification of changes necessary to make the AFIDA compatible with different fuels is helping pave the way for more complex gasoline surrogate research.
In between her two stints with the Fuels and Combustion Science team, Cameron took on a second SULI assignment that brought her out of her comfort zone, diving into the chemistry of carbon nanotubes for thermoelectric devices. By consistently pursuing opportunities at NREL, Cameron was able to explore diverse areas of renewable energy research, help develop the capabilities of a new tool, and build relationships with top-level researchers. She is now en route to publishing her thesis, presenting her findings to automakers, and responding to industry inquiries about her post-graduation plans.
"I just love the research mission of the lab and the work environment, being surrounded by energy-conscious people," Cameron said. "Everyone's really passionate about their research and it's all something I believe in."
Last summer, NREL hosted almost 250 interns through a variety of mentored research internships and fellowships available for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty. Applications for summer 2018 SULI positions are due by January 12. Learn more about internships at NREL.

The countries of coffee – Colombia
20 June 2018 27 June 2018 / Magazine, The countries of coffee
Today we want to continue with our journey through the origin countries of coffee. This country annually produces the fourth largest amount of coffee in the world: Colombia. The coffee was introduced to Colombia in 1723 by the Jesuits and over time it has spread to several areas of the country. Slowly but surely, it gained more and more importance, making up almost 50% of the Colombian export in 1912. The grown coffee is always of the Arabica variety, the most common are Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Colombia, Maragogype, Tekisik and Castillo, usually processed with the "washed" method. About 20% of production is used for internal consumption. The Colombian coffees are famous for their full flavor with a sweetish, nutty-chocolaty, floral or fruity note. Each growing region is characterized by its very own taste and is thus well recognizable.
The most important growing areas are:
Cauca: one of the most famous areas, located on the Popayan Plateau, close to the equator and surrounded by mountains that protect the coffee from the humid Pacific climate and winds. This produces about 8% of Colombian coffee, which is characterized by its floral and berry flavor.
Santander: region in the north of the country where about 9% of the total production is grown. Most of the plantations are in the shade and at low altitude, which gives the coffee its soft and only slightly bitter taste. Many of the coffees are awarded by the Rainforest Alliance (International Environmental Protection Organization) for the biological, biodiversity-enhancing cultivation.
Narino: the southernmost production region in Colombia, known for its creamy coffee with a pleasant floral taste.
Tolima: famous for its sweet, slightly flowery coffee, produces about 12% of Colombian coffee.
Hulia: very fruity coffees are cultivated in this region, where the acid stands out clearly, giving a full bodied coffee and very complex flavors.
Antioquia: this is the region where the cultivation of coffee began in Colombia. The headquarters of FNC (Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros) and Cenicafè is, of course, the center of research of the Colombian Coffee Producers' Federation, where specialists and researchers produce seeds for regional plantations and study and ensure botanical biodiversity.

Cinematic Void January Giallo 2023: Phenomena (1985)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Cinematic Void will be playing this movie as Creepers — in 35mm! — on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 8:00 PM at the The Majestic Tempe 7 in Tempe, AZ. CV's Jim Branscome in person will be in person (tickets here). For more information, visit Cinematic Void.
A monkey. A girl who can talk to bugs. Donald Pleasence. All directed by Dario Argento. If you don't immediately say to yourself, "I'm in," you're reading the wrong web site.
Within the first two minutes of the movie, you realize you're watching an Argento film. A tourist misses her bus, somewhere in the Swiss countryside, before she is attacked by an unseen person and then beheaded.
Fast forward a bit and we catch Jennifer (Jennifer Connelly, Labyrinth, The Rocketeer) arriving at the Richard Wagner Academy for Girls — did I tell you this is an Argento movie? The head of the school, Frau Brückner (Dario Nicolodi, Argento's wife (at the time) and mother to his daughter Aria, who also co-wrote Suspiria and appeared in Deep Red, Inferno, Tenebre and Opera amongst other films) already sets up an air of menace. Even her roommate offers no relief, telling Jennifer how much she wishes she could have sex with the heroine's famous actor father. At this point, Jennifer relates a horrifying story about how her mother left her — it's a moment of pure pain in a film that hasn't led you to expect it. That's because it's a true story. The true story of how Dario Argento's mother left his family.
Jennifer tends to sleepwalk, which leads her through the school and up to the roof, where she watches a student get murdered. She wakes up, falls and runs from the murderer, ending up in the woods where she's rescued by Inga the chimp — again, did I mention this is an Argento film? Inga works for forensic entomologist John McGregor (Pleasence). Argento was inspired by the fact that insects are often used in crime investigation to learn how old a body is and worked that into this film. McGregor learns that Jennifer can talk to the bugs.
After returning to the school, things go from bad to worse. Jennifer's roommate is murdered and a firefly leads our sleepwalking protagonist to a glove covered by Great Sarcophagus flies, which eat decaying human flesh, which can only mean that the killer is keeping his bodies — again, Argento.
At this point, Phenomena pays tribute to Carrie, with the other students making fun of her in regards to her love of bugs. She calls a swarm of flies into the building and collapses, which leads to Frau Brückner recommending her to a home for the criminally insane. Luckily, Jennifer runs to McGregor, who gives her a bug in a glass case that she can use to track the murderer. Again, you know who. The bug leads Jennifer to the same house we saw at the beginning of the film.
Meanwhile, McGregor is killed after Inga is locked outside. True fact: the chimpanzee who played Inga, Tanga, sounds like she was uncontrollable. She ran away for an entire evening of the shoot and later, nearly bit off one of Jennifer Connelly's fingers.
Let me see if I can sum up the craziness that ensues: Jennifer calls her father's lawyer for help, who ends up bringing Frau Brückner back into this mess, who tries to poison Jennifer and then knocks her out with a piece of wood,. She then KOs a cop before Jennifer escapes, going through a dungeon and a basement until she falls into a pool that is packed with maggot-ridden corpses. This is the point in the film where you may want to stop eating, because it gets rather intense from here on out. As Jennifer escapes that watery tomb, she hears someone crying. That someone is Frau's son, who was born from a rape. Jennifer asks him why she thinks he's a monster, to which he turns to face her and scares the fucking shit out of her. Seriously, it's jolting — the kid has Patau Syndrome, a real chromosomal abnormality (it's makeup in the film, but looks quite true to life). He then chases Jennifer into a motorboat, but at the last second, she calls a swarm of flies to attack him. He falls into the water and the boat explodes and he dies and…whew.
I know this film is 32 years old, but I'm going to put in some spoiler space here because what happens next is crazy.
Jennifer reaches the shore just as her father's lawyer arrives. All well, all good and then, out of nowhere, Frau cuts the dude's head clean off. Plus, she's already killed the cop and she goes absolutely shithouse.
"He was diseased, but he was my son! And you have… Why didn't I kill you before? I killed that no-good inspector and your professor friend, to protect him! And now… I'm gonna KILL YOU TO AVENGE HIM! Why don't you call your INSECTS! GO ON! CALL! CALL!"
At this point, Inga the chimpanzee comes out of nowhere and kills Frau dead with a razor. Keep in mind, this is not just one cut. This is a simian that knows how to get murder business done.
Jennifer and Inga hug. Roll the credits.
Phenomena was the last Argento movie to get major distribution in the U.S., thanks (or no thanks) to New Line Cinema, which played it here as Creepers. This version is 33 minutes shorter than the original and has so many scenes so shuffled, it makes little or no sense. Also, unlike other Argento films, Goblin only have two songs in this, as modern bands like Iron Maiden and Motörhead are featured.
I actually kind of love this movie. It makes little to no sense at numerous times, but you don't walk into an Italian horror film expecting narrative structure. You hope to see some crazy gore, some interesting death scenes and maggots — all things that this film more than delivers. I'm not the only fan of this flick — the Japanese video game Clock Tower is an homage to this film, even featuring a heroine named Jennifer.
BONUS: We did a podcast all about this movie and you can hear it here:

Grand Magus - The Hunt | FESTIVALPHOTO
Grand Magus - The Hunt
The Hunt is the sixth studio album from Swedish three-piece metal band Grand Magus. This latest album has a real 70s hard rock/heavy metal sound. Rival Sons have shown recently that a 70s sound can be brought up to date and sound fresh and still retain that classic hard rock sound, and now Grand Magus have done the same.
Listening to the album you can certainly pick out some of the influences - Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio, and Judas Priest.
Opening track "Starlight slaughter" would feel at home on a Deep Purple or Rainbow album particularly with its chorus. This is a great track and really sets the standard for the rest of the album to try and beat.
"The Hunt" has a good heavy guitar riff and good solid drums, and later on includes some nice guitar work - all in all a good strong song.
"Valhalla rising" is one of the standout tracks (along with Starlight slaughter) on the album - one of the heaviest songs on the album it has a seriously heavy guitar sound combined with a deceptively simple catchy chorus, this really is a great track.
"Son of the last breath" opens with a classical intro with a strong folk feel, and the vocals then kick in giving the song a real folk ballad feel to it. Around half way through the song the pace changes and the power ramps up to make it a heavy rock song, before finally ending on a more mellow folk sound. At nearly seven minutes this is by far the longest song on the album
There's plenty of variety in this album and the strongly 70's influenced sound works really well - this is definitely an album I'm going to be listening to a lot.
The Hunt will be released on 25th May via Nuclear Blast.

SpaceX's first civilian lunar mission will take BIGBANG'S T.O.P and DJ Steve Aoki to the Moon
The host of 'Everyday Astronaut' will also be flying with them aboard SpaceX's Starship vehicle.
dearMoon
Mariella Moon|@mariella_moon|December 9, 2022 4:57 AM
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has picked his companions for SpaceX's first all-civilian mission to the Moon over a year after he put out a call for potential private astronauts. He chose eight crew members and two backups from various backgrounds to be part of the mission called "dearMoon," and while application was open to everyone, some of the names will likely stand out when you review the list. One of the people flying with Maezawa on SpaceX's Starship spacecraft is Choi Seung Hyun, better known as T.O.P. from the Korean boy band BIGBANG.
DJ Steve Aoki is also part of the crew, as well as Tim Dodd, who's known for creating space-themed content as a photographer and host of YouTube channel Everyday Astronaut. The other crew members include Rhiannon Adam, a photographic artist from Ireland who now works in London and the US, and Yemi A.D., a designer, director, choreographer and non-profit org founder from the Czech Republic. Brendan Hall, a filmmaker who directed projects for National Geographic, Karim Iliya, a filmmaker who documents whales, birds and other threatened species, and Dev D. Joshi, an actor from India, round up the main crew list. Meanwhile, snowboarding Olympic gold medalist Kaitlyn Farrington and Japanese dancer Miyu were named as backup crew.
Maezawa said the project received about a million applications from interested individuals around the world who went through a strict selection process. The inclusion of musicians and other creatives doesn't come as a surprise, since the billionaire originally intended to bring artists with him on the trip in hopes that it would inspire them to create something that promotes world peace. He didn't say why he chose T.O.P. specifically, but the star did rap at an astronaut for one of BIGBANG's music videos.
The dearMoon project was launched in 2018 after Maezawa purchased all the seats for a six-day trip to the Moon from SpaceX. It will fly a single circumlunar trajectory around Earth's faithful companion and is expected to take place sometime next year, though the actual date depends on Starship's development. To prepare for the dearMoon mission, Maezawa flew to the ISS last year and spent 12 days on the flying lab shooting videos about life in space.

Q: correct way to scrape this table (using scrapy / xpath) Given a table (unknown number of
 but always three , and sometimes containing a strikethrough (<s>) of the first element which should be captured as additional item (with value 0 or 1))

        A1
        A2
        A3

        <s>B1</s>
        B2
        B3

    ...

Where scraping should yield [[A1,A2,A3,0],[B1,B2,B3,1], ...], I currently try along those lines:
my_xpath = response.xpath("//table[@id='my_id']")
for my_cell in my_xpath.xpath(".//tr"):
    print('record 0:', my_cell.xpath(".//td")[0])
    print('record 1:', my_cell.xpath(".//td")[1])
    print('record 2:', my_cell.xpath(".//td")[2])

And in principle it works (e.g. by adding a pipeline after add_xpath()), just I am sure there is a more natural and elegant way to do this.

A: Try contains :
my_xpath = response.xpath("//table[contains(@id, 'my_id')]").getall()
