¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?
¿Qué omito?
¿Qué no acabo de comprender?
Edito y añado información, según recomendación:
Parece que he encontrado la causa, aunque no la acabo de comprender por completo. Si alguien me puede aportar más información se lo agradecería.
He añadido al programa, que me imprima sys.path. Lanzando el script como py test.py, sys.path no recoge el entorno virtual, cosa que si que hace cuando lo lanzo como python test.py.

A: Un entorno virtual no es más que una carpeta que contiene un intérprete de python, un ejecutable pip, las bibliotecas básicas para que python funcione, y todas las bibliotecas adicionales que hayas instalado con el pip de ese entorno.
Una vez has creado el entorno (por ejemplo escribiendo python -m venv prueba) verás que aparece una carpeta con ese nombre (prueba) y si entras en ella verás toda una instalación Python, compuesta por carpetas como bin, lib, include, etc...
En particular es dentro de la carpeta bin (prueba/bin en el ejemplo) donde está el intérprete python y el ejecutable pip , entre otras cosas.
Normalmente el siguiente paso es "activar" el entorno virtual, pero esto en realidad es solo un paso opcional para que sea más cómodo manejarlo.
Aún sin activarlo se puede utilizar si siempre que ejecutes python te aseguras de estar ejecutando el que está en el entorno (es decir prueba/bin/python) y si siempre que quieras instalar nuevos paquetes te a seguras de usar el pip que está en ese entorno (es decir prueba/bin/pip).
Al ser lanzado, el ejecutable python averigua en qué ruta (carpeta) está guardado, y prepara sys.path adecuadamente. Por eso si ejecutas el python que está dentro del entorno virtual sys.path contendrá rutas a ese entorno, pero si ejecutas el python que está afuera (el python de sistema), no las contendrá.
Lo único que hace el script activate es modificar tu variable de entorno PATH para añadirle por delante la ruta prueba/bin y de ese modo puedes escribir python a secas y se ejecutará el que hay en prueba/bin sin necesidad de especificar la ruta completa hacia él.
Sospecho que en tu caso usar py causa que se ejecute el python "de sistema" en lugar de el python del entorno virtual. Esto se debería a que dentro del entorno virtual no existe un comando prueba/bin/py, por lo que saltará al siguiente elemento del PATH hasta encontrarlo.
Si tienes dudas acerca de qué python exactamente es el que se va a ejecutar poniendo python "a secas" (o poniendo py o pip o cualquier otro comando), puedes usar el comando which python en linux (en windows creo que sería where python) que te imprime la ruta hasta el ejecutable que será usado.

Bālāsana () or Child Pose, is a kneeling asana in modern yoga as exercise. Balasana is a counter asana for various asanas and is usually practiced before and after Sirsasana.

Etymology and origins

The name comes from the Sanskrit words बाल bala, "child" and आसन āsana, "posture" or "seat".

Balasana is not described until the 20th century; a similar pose appears in Niels Bukh's 1924 Primary Gymnastics.

Ananda Balasana is illustrated as Kandukasana (Ball Pose) in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi.

Description

From a kneeling position, bring the forehead to the floor and relax the arms alongside the body, palms upwards.

Variations

If need be, and during pregnancy, the knees can be spread. The arms may be stretched forward in front of the head. If there is discomfort in the neck and shoulders, a rolled blanket may be placed on the backs of the lower legs, and the forearms can be stacked and the forehead rested on them.

Ananda Balasana or "Happy Baby Pose" is an inverted form of Child's Pose; it has the body on the back, the thighs alongside the body, the knees bent and the hands grasping the toes.

Uttana Shishosana or "Extended Puppy Pose" stretches forwards from all fours until the forearms and forehead are resting on the floor and the thighs are vertical, giving a pose intermediate between Balasana and Adho Mukha Shvanasana (Downward Dog Pose).

Shasangasana (शसांगासन) or "Rabbit Pose", practised in Bikram Yoga, has the tailbone lifted until the thighs are vertical and the head and arms point back towards the feet, creating an intense flexion of the spine.

Sucirandhrasana (सुचिरंध्रासन), "Eye of the Needle", or "Thread the Needle Pose", also called Parsva Balasana, has the head and feet as in Balasana, the knees bent, the hips raised, and one shoulder on the floor, with the arm on that side stretched out in front of the face at right angles to the body along the floor. The other arm may be stretched forwards over the head, folded behind the back, or stretched straight up into the air.

Absolutely Mama gets the lowdown on a Dubai-based charity working to save newborn babies in Pakistan
Words Holly Kirkwood and Dani Wilson
The ZB Foundation is a charity set up in the memory of an adopted baby who didn't survive her first year, because of the lack of proper testing for newborns in Pakistan. Zahra Beau Naqvi, born in 2011, was a beautifully peaceful baby girl with deep, soulful black eyes, rich red lips and porcelain white skin. She had been born in Pakistan and abandoned at birth, but within a few hours she was adopted by Dani Wilson and her partner in Dubai, who had been longing for a baby for years.
Unfortunately that fairytale was cut short immediately, as ZB's dark secret turned out to be a metabolic disease gained at birth through the misfortune of her birth parents' genes. In just under four months after she was born, in 2012, Zahra died of Glutaric Academia Type 2.
What makes all this so much worse is that ZB could have lived if doctors in Pakistan had performed just one simple 'heel-prick' test known as "New Born Screening". This test would have shown enough red flags to warrant further investigation, which most likely would have led to the discovery of the metabolic disorder within her early days.
But some good came out of this terrible tragedy. The ZB Foundation was subsequently set up by Zahra's parents in her memory, with the mission of giving other babies in Pakistan the chance that Zahra never got herself through fighting for newborn screening.
What is New Born Screening
Newborn screening is a form of preventive health care in which babies are tested within the first two days of their life, to check for diseases which may not otherwise be apparent.
In certain cases of serious congenital metabolic diseases, the correct treatment given quickly can prevent death, development disability or other serious problems. Most of the children suffering from these very rare diseases appear to be completely normal at birth.
In order to start treatment before symptoms appear and before permanent damage has time to to develop, screening tests are used to detect the earliest signs of the disease. Only by testing all babies can we be sure of finding the few sick babies, for whom early recognition and treatment of the disease is vital.
Screening is simple- the test is carried out with a few drops of blood taken on blotting paper, but there also has to be an adequate set of systems in place for the efficient collection of samples from all newborns, for the reporting of results and possible recall of a child for diagnostic testing. Most importantly, babies with confirmed disorders receive the timely treatment that they require.
The ZB Foundation and its work
New Born Screening is available in every country in the world except Pakistan. Its a birthright in most countries especially the west paid for by each country's government.
The heel prick tests are our main focus at the foundation but they also provide detailed education to doctors and spread the word to the public about of the importance of screening.
Challenges of newborn screening in Pakistan
One of the biggest challenges so far has been the bureaucracy in Pakistan. To setup a charity and enable the charity to carry out its functions requires passing a lot of red tape.
The ZB Foundation has collaborated with Vik Jethwani Fine Jewellery in Dubai with a limited edition 2017 #astarisborn bracelet, putting the sparkle into providing new born screening tests. The bracelet is 18K gold with a pink Sapphire in the middle of the star.
The bracelet costs AED 850 and is available to order via @vikjetfinejewellery

Thirteen years after Hurricane Katrina, there is much to celebrate: The Central Business District, once a dead zone after dark, now crackles at all hours thanks to four new hotels (the Ace, Troubadour, Catahoula, and NOPSI), each with its own rooftop bar. The neighborhood is also home to new restaurants like Maypop — a Vietnamese-Creole joint from acclaimed chef Michael Gulotta.

Moment to Shine (Moment of Clarity)
This is certainly a little late, but worth blogging about even after the fact. On the 3rd June (just 1 day after returning to the UK from expedition in China) I was extremely honoured to run with the Olympic Torch along the stunning North Coast of Northern Ireland.
I'd first found out about my nomination at the start of the year,whilst still in the mountains of Northern China. A teacher has put my name forward after I gave a tour of Belfast schools, encouraging kids to get outside and get active. I must admit that initially I felt quite detached from the whole thing. The email came through while I was sitting by a roadside in a remote area of Shanxi province watching snow cling stubbornly to the few brave (and bare) trees that dotted the hillside. I was less than a quarter of the way through the toughest journey of my life, and the idea that in a few months I would be jogging through a small Irish village carrying a flaming hunk of metal while hundreds of people cheered seemed remarkably alien. At that stage I didn't even know about the white jumpsuit, but I imagine I would equally have struggled with that.
As the months passed however and I happily found myself still alive on the other side of a rough winter, news of the build up for the Olympics filtered through, and I had time to ponder the whole thing. I'd be carrying a flame which would pass through the hands (not literally) of 8000 inspirational people, travelling the length and breadth of the UK and ending up in the Olympic Stadium to mark the start of one of the biggest moments ever in British Sport. That, I figured, was pretty cool.
New York to Hong Kong Montage Video
Here's a quick sneak peak at some montage footage from my New York to Hong Kong cycling adventure last year. I cut it over a weekend in the summer to have something to show at my talks about the journey.
I still (shamefully!) haven't properly watched through the majority of my footage yet as I jumped headfirst into the Walking Home From Mongolia expedition, but I'm looking forward to working with it in the summer of 2012 when I get back to the UK.
This clip is extremely low-res as I'm uploading it from a hotel room in China and is a combination of footage from my secondary handlebar-mounted camera, and two or three brief clips from my primary. The real thing will all be HD!
Hope you enjoy, please do let me know what you think
Walking to Canterbury

Arriving back on U.K soil after 14,000 miles
It's now been 2 months since I finished cycling, and inevitably I have itchy feet. I'm being kept more than busy but I'd be lying if I said I didn't regularly wake up disappointed to not be out under the stars. So what better time to find the adventures waiting on my doorstep?
Following in the footsteps of some real bona fide adventure bloggers who champion the 'micro-adventure' idea such as Al Humphreys and Tim Moss, I've come to the conclusion that there's plenty of scope for something exciting to be done over the course of a few days or a weekend. The much-anticipated Royal Wedding came along last weekend and I can honestly say I was absolutely thrilled. Not about watching the wedding of course, I'd rather eat off my own leg, but rather the fact that it provided a 4 day holiday for most of the nation. The perfect chance for a micro-adventure, but what to do?

Hotels Could Be Coming to Pawhuska
The Pawhuska City Council met for its regularly scheduled monthly meeting Tuesday evening and a lot of exciting announcements were made for the city.
One of these things includes the fact that the city is recruiting some brand name hotels and city manager Dave Neely believes these hotels are showing interest in coming to town.
The city council voted to explore two options in regards to making repairs to the city water reservoir. It is working at half capacity and neither company will be able to begin making repairs until next spring because the city first has to get approved for a grant.
The council also allowed for a vote to take place on Tuesday, Nov. 12th. There will be two questions on the ballot for Pawhuska citizens. These questions have to do with extending the termination date on sales tax rates in the city to December 31st 2024.
There was also a resolution to approve a cooperative law enforcement agreement between the City and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This will allow the Pawhuska Police Department to work more closely with the Osage Nation.
It was also announced that fifth Street from Leahy Ave. to Kihekah Ave. will be closed from 11 in the morning until 6 in the evening to celebrate the Allen Brothers being in business for 100 years.
The next regularly scheduled Pawhuska city council meeting will be Tuesday, October 8th at 5:30 in the evening.
KPGM 1500AM and 100.1 HD-2 is devoted to keeping Osage County Residents up to date with Local News and Sports Talk.

Turning your daily news into a snarky rant.
Hicks Lawyer set to Challenge Gillard's Nauru Detention Policy
tags: asylum seekers, auspol, Dan Mori, David Hicks, Julia Gillard, Nauru
The former US military lawyer for David Hicks, and hero of "the left" Dan Mori, is about to take it up to the Gillard Government over the detention of asylum seekers on Nauru, in much the same way as he did the Howard Government over its handling of Hicks' incarceration at Guantanamo Bay.
Mr Mori, who now works for a law firm in Melbourne, will mount a legal challenge against the Gillard Government's policy of mandatory detention of asylum seekers arguing that detention of asylum seekers is unlawful because the asylum seekers have not been found guilty of committing a crime.
Senior Australian social justice lawyer Julian Burnside QC will lead the case in the Supreme Court of Nauru, which is set to be heard in June.
Mr Mori moved to Australia last year, and says he has nearly finished his Australian legal training so he can practise law here.
He says that this has not stopped him forming a team to challenge the legality of keeping asylum-seekers at the Nauru processing centre.
"Jay Williams, a barrister from Sydney approached us. He'd approached Julian Burnside, who's going to be the QC for the case and so getting an opportunity to support both of them, especially to work with Julian and George Newhouse is going to be the instructing solicitor," he said.
"So just being able to help research and put together the case is an opportunity you can't pass up."
The legal team says the Nauruan constitution provides protection to everyone in the country, including detainees.
Mr Mori says if the case if successful, it could have ramifications for Australia's regional processing policy on Nauru.
"The one similarity which struck me is that you have this group of people that are being held somewhere, and they have no legal access to help," he said.
"They can't get on the phone and call people. They probably wouldn't know who to call even if they had a phone."
"It's extremely difficult to get there, so no matter what you think about the offshore processing – put the politics aside – regardless of who they are, if someone is detained they deserve to get legal representation and have a change to fight for their freedom."
"Under the Nauruan constitution, everyone has a right to their personal liberty. They also have a right to counsel and to meet with counsel where they're being detained and those are two areas that need to be challenged because it's not being respected in Nauru right now."
Disagreements between the legal team and Australia's Department of Immigration have already flared up.
Lawyer George Newhouse SC says gathering evidence and statements for the case has not been easy.
"We were denied access to the detainees. We were denied access to the camp," he said.
"It's as though they're trying to hide as much as they can from the world in general, but certainly from the lawyers involved and that is also a breach of the Nauruan constitution which says that a detainee is entitled to legal representation and access to a lawyer."
A spokesman for the Department of Immigration says the legal team were provided access to detainees, and the constitutional challenge is a matter for the Nauruan Government.

You have to admire genuinely progressive people like Mori, who stand by their convictions.
I'm no admirer of Hicks, but his advocacy was genuine and effective. Incredibly, it provided some sense of justice, even in the US military system.
But no doubt ALP barrackers will regard him as particularly inconvenient.

There weren't many other 'heroes' putting up their hands around at the time of hicks incarceration and torture. Aussies are well trained to look the other way and hate when told.
We need people like him in this country [as well as a bill of rights].
[wiki] …On November 10, 2006, Mori attended the signing of the Fremantle Declaration by the attorneys-general of the states and territories of Australia. The federal attorney general, Philip Ruddock, refused to attend. The declaration urges judicial fairness be applied in Hicks' case to protect the legal rights of Australians at home and abroad. Mori said "It's disheartening that federal ministers won't fight for an Australian citizen to have the same rights as an American."[4]…
Don't expect your gutless toadying government to support you if you land in trouble in a foreign country, you're on your own mate!

bill of rights.? _ why.? (good to see you again)
Mmmm … well spotted, James … is it too late for a retraction? 😯
As for, Kneel, no one could be like that for real?
bill of rights.? _ why.?
To limit the power of politicians 730,our democracy ha been so corrupted by politicians that they do not represent the people anymore.
They ignore our best interests or wishes and govern for the corporations and powerful lobby groups, .
Human rights [human dignity] and fundamental freedoms are universal rights which should not be determined by politicians who discriminate and collude [our asylum seeker fiasco]. We should all have intrinsic human rights that powerful politicians and their puppeteers cannot abuse, control or remove depending on whichever brand of government is in power at the time.
I'd be interested to know which countries have Bills of Rights and are better for it.
I'm beginning to agree re a BoR, KL … I've been ambivelent until recently … the politicisation of just about everything that goes before Parliament is a concern and most pollies and more particularly the Puppet Masters dont seem to have any basic decency standards …
But … how does it become law if the sods in Parliament don't agree … maybe a member's Bill …?
James, as I understand it this is in your field of study/work experience (correct me if I'm wrong) … what are the problems with a BoR?
Well, TB, imagine for a moment what a Bill of Rights written in the 1960s might have looked like.
Splatterbottom permalink
For a Bill of Rights to be fully effective it needs to be an amendment to the constitution. That way it automatically overrides legislation which is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights and it can't be amended by parliament. A Bill of Rights which is passed by parliament can be worded to override all other legislation, but it can be changed by later legislation without a referendum.
A Bill of Rights as envisaged by modern lefties would be an abomination. I have no interest in any Bill of Rights unless it enshrines a fairly absolute right to free speech.
And that's the other problem, Splatter. Peoples' views of "rights" vary across the political spectrum.
imagine for a moment what a Bill of Rights written in the 1960s
Not quite sure what you mean, James?
(As a guess – your saying it would be different to 2013?)
Not sure that that would be the case, the Magna Carta has relevance today …
sb, A Bill of Rights as envisaged by modern lefties would be an abomination
I've never really seen the need for a BoR but I do believe our Constitution could be revised!
toiletcantankerousnightsoil permalink
I agree, in principle.
I think what, Splatter, means, TB, is that a lot of what is advanced by 'the left' (an unuseful term, in this context) would merely characterise laws which support their particular pet fetishes & slant on life; not so much 'universal' rights.
I may be being a bit too cynical, but a lot of what I'd call 'The Contemporary Left' do seem to be rather intolerant of ideological divergence & individualism.
I've never been 'typical'…my views on Nationalism & Ockertardation should make that obvious to most of those familiar with my opinions…so I am very wary of Motherhood statements and 'We Know What's Best For You & Yours' types of rhetoric, these days.
Ok, toilette … this might sound like a "dumb" analogy but I recall the legislation in OH&S shifting from prescriptive … eg thou shalt make sure thy windows are cleaned each week … to proscriptive based "simply" upon duty of care … established primarily in the Common law courts …
Safe workplace and access to it …
Safe system of work
Safe plant and equipment
Adequate training and supervision
The broader approach is much better … and a mixed bag for employers … BUT far more effective in preventing accidents …
Its just that samples of BoRs have seemed too prescriptive for me … rather than the broad responsibility (as per my example above) …
Not dumb at all, TB.
I am in two minds about it myself.
I think a Bill of Rights, if done properly & in a humanitarian, but non-partisan, fashion, is a fkn great idea.
Unfortunately, humans, as a majority, seem largely incapable of nonpartisanship; particularly the humans we elect into our parliament.
Like all 'good ideas', the human condition is liable to take it & fuck it up.
I realise that such a thing as altruism exists, but true strains of it, the uncompromised ones, are rare indeed.
TB "In what way?"
Some suggestions (like enshrining rights to adequate housing, food, healthcare and education) would in effect take those matter away from parliament and hand them to judges. At least politicians are answerable to voters. How is a court going to enforce a right to adequate housing?
The role of a Bill of Rights is to protect people from politicians. It limits the laws that can be made and strikes down laws that infringe rights. That makes sense in the case of, say, a right to the free exercise of religion. It doesn't even make sense in the case of a right to adequate food. What law do you strike down if someone is hungry?
This is from a discussion around the Victorian Bill of rights. It gives me the creeps:
The statement of intent makes clear the government's reticence about incorporating broader social and cultural rights like those found in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The ICESCR commits Australia to 'take steps to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights recognised in the present Covenant by all appropriate means'. The rights recognised in the ICESCR include rights to just and favourable conditions of work; adequate food, clothing and housing; education; the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; the formation of trade unions; the participation in cultural life; and the enjoyment of the benefits of scientific progress. The statement of intent indicates that these rights 'raise difficult issues of resource allocation' and often 'deal with responsibilities that are shared between the State and Commonwealth governments'. These rights, whose content is more likely to attract more controversy than political rights already 'taken for granted', are regarded by the government as more appropriately dealt with by the parliament, where 'social and fiscal policy are scrutinised and debated', than in the courts. Whether a bill of rights which only addresses 'issues of inequality and disadvantage' in the context of the justice system and which only advances cultural and economic rights indirectly can be seen as an effective and meaningful measure for protecting human rights in Victoria is a key question the committee will need to address.
We have a Bill of Rights. The English Parliament in 1689 produced one. By the way it was called a Bill of Rights because it was passed through Parliament and was a parliamentary bill. The Americans copied it 100 years latter.

And that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending, strengthening and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be held frequently."
An addendum, Boltophiles loathe the very notion of a Bill of Rights, he's laid down the mental foreplay to predispose them towards reviling a BoR for many a long year.
Can't be fucked, going back & dredging all of his reflexively dismissive conservative crap in regard to a BoR, but it is there on the interwebz for any who may care to test the veracity of my claim.
Yes for some reason Conservatives are against a Bill of Rights. They are quite happy for Parliament to legislate for things.
It is strange that the natural totalitarians want a Bill of Rights. I think because they would use a Bill of Rights to throw people in jail.
You are a Grade Atypical test tube proof of the rule, Neil.
Thankyou for your cooperation. 🙂
At least you are brutally honest.
I am starting to see the 'natural totalitarian' angle, but y'all make the stupid mistake of assuming (or seeming that you assume it to be so) that all 'leftists' are essentially 'Stalinists'.
It's like mistaking all rightards for being Fred Nile.
armchair l don`t really see a `bill of rights` will change our parliament puppets into leadership lions or the milk of human kindness. The yanks have `guns` in their bill of rights and obama can`t get even the weakest of change passed.
On the `humanitarian` side, cuba/camp-delta/gitmo off-shore torture prisons are operated by the yanks, while we have nauru/malaysia/where-ever to torture boat-people. Both the yanks and Aust, have signed-up to human-rights/un and break them. l don`t think the `type` of system matters, but the quality of the puppets.
And the `quality` of the puppets is very low.

The Ponte Delle Torri, Spoleto

Spoleto is a picturesque town in Umbria, famous for its Ponte delle Torri (Bridge of Towers), a medieval feat of engineering which spans the deep gorge to the east. Turner passed through the town on his way to Rome in 1819. As in so many of his Italian-inspired oils, he has enhanced real topography with an evocative but imagined sense of atmosphere. The composition is reworked from an earlier image known as 'Bridge and Goats'. That etching was published in 1812 as part of the Liber Studiorum, a series of prints summing up Turner's achievements in landscape to date.
Gallery label, February 2010
Does this text contain inaccurate information or language that you feel we should improve or change? We would like to hear from you.
[from] Nos. 509–19: Unfinished Paintings, mainly of Liber Studiorum Subjects, c. 1840–50.
THIS group of late paintings, roughly similar in size, style, colouring and degree of finish, is remarkable in being based largely on compositions used much earlier by Turner for the Liber Studiorum. Only Sunrise, with a Boat between Headlands (No. 516 [N02002]) and Landscape with River and Distant Mountains (No. 517) seem to be entirely new inventions. In addition all but three of the remaining paintings are of subjects that Turner classified as 'E.P.', almost certainly 'elevated pastoral'. Of the others, one, Norham Castle, Sunrise (No. 512 [N01981]) is a 'P' or 'pastoral' subject, Inverary Pier (No. 519) is an 'M' or 'marine' subject, while Europa and the Bull (No. 514) is based on a detail of the frontispiece, which was not given a classification. The degree of dependence on the Liber model varies. In the case of Landscape with a River and Bay in the Distance (No. 509), Chepstow Castle, which forms the main topographical motif of the Liber plate, 'The Junction of the Severn and the Wye', is omitted, but in two other cases, rather surprisingly, Turner makes the late oil more topographically specific than the Liber plate, Landscape with Walton Bridges (No. 511) and The Ponte delle Torri, Spoleto (No. 518 [N02424]).
All the paintings are unfinished and seem to be in the state in which Turner took such unfinished works into the Royal Academy or the British Institution before completing them on varnishing days; see in particular John Burnet's description of such unfinished pictures as being 'divided into large masses of blue, where the water or sky was to come, and [with] the other portions laid out in broad orange yellow, falling into delicate brown where the trees and landscapes were to be placed' (Burnet 1852, p. 100; 1859, pp. 84–5), and Rippingille's description of Turner at work on The Burning of the House of Lords and Commons at the British Institution in 1835 (see No. 359). It has, however, been suggested that these works are more than just a random selection of late unfinished pictures. Lawrence Gowing, at the Turner Symposium held at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore in April 1975, suggested that Turner may have painted this series as a trial run to see if such 'sketchy' pictures were marketable. At the same symposium Jerrold Ziff suggested that, although towards the end of his life Turner appeared to become increasingly occupied with images of disaster, this group of oils, mainly of 'elevated pastoral' or 'pastoral' subjects, shows that Turner still felt that there was a place for the idyllic in the repertoire of a landscape painter and that he may have intended the group to stand as a reaffirmation of his faith in Nature in her more tranquil moods.
On the other hand, one cannot guarantee that Turner, in completing these unfinished works, might not have radically changed their mood; Frith's anecdote about Turner adding the dominant blue to Undine giving the Ring to Massaniello (see No. 424 [N00549]) shows how drastic Turner's alterations could be. Turner's last four exhibits in 1850 (Nos. 429–32 [N00552-N00555]) could all have been painted over such a lay-in as Sunrise, with a Boat between Headlands (No. 516 [N02002]). Moreover, if this group of works is as late as has sometimes been argued (see below) one has to face the fact that Turner may have been at a loss for new compositions. Of the three works he exhibited between 1847 and 1849 inclusive, one was an early work left untouched, Venus and Adonis (No. 150), while the other two were also early works, reworked for the occasion, The Hero of a Hundred Fights (No. 427 [N00551]) and The Wreck Buoy (No. 428).
Turner's use of Liber Studiorum subjects has been associated with his revival of interest in that publication; in May and June 1845 he had McQueen's run off fifteen new sets (see John Pye and J. L. Roget, Notes and Memoranda respecting the Liber Studiorum of J. M. W. Turner, 1879, p. 71 n., and Gage 1980, p. 206). In addition, it has recently been discovered that the paintings from the series now in the Tate Gallery were painted on canvases supplied by the firm of T. Brown that bear stamps of a form that does not seem to have been used before about 1839 and also, in one case, a second stamp incorporating an element that gives the year in which the canvas was made: Norham Castle, Sunrise (No. 512 [N01981]) bears an example of this second form of stamp implying the date 1844 (see Butlin, loc. cit.). This means that the dating to c. 1835–40 given in the first edition of this catalogue must be wrong and that the whole group must date from c. 1840 or later, with Norham Castle, Sunrise after 1844. In reviews of our first edition Luke Herrmann had already suggested that at least some of this group could date from the later 1840s or even to c. 1850 and Eric Shanes (1981) had suggested a dating of c. 1845, when McQueen reprinted the Liber; Andrew Wilton had also suggested that this group of oils 'are products of Turner's last years'. More recently John Gage has also dated the group to c. 1845 (1983–4, loc. cit.), and Eric Shanes has gone further (1984), suggesting an actual order of completion beginning c. 1845 with the 'initial delicacy and control' of Norham Castle and Inverary Pier (Nos. 512 [N01981] and 519) and ending c. 1848, Turner's physical limitations having become acute, with 'the somewhat rougher and clumsier handling' of paintings such as Sunrise, a Castle on a Bay and The Ponte delle Torri, Spoleto (Nos. 515 [[N00515] and 518 [N02424]). However, if one is correct in seeing these pictures as unfinished works it is probably going too far to derive dating arguments from their precise degree of finish and subtlety.
Although four of these works remained in Turner's collection and became part of the Turner Bequest the remaining seven were dispersed, either during his lifetime or relatively soon after his death. How they left Turner's studio is a mystery. Two of the series (Nos. 511 and 513) were sold at Christie's in 1865 from the collection of John Pound, the son by her first marriage of Mrs Booth, Turner's mistress and later housekeeper in his last years at Chelsea. Turner had presumably given these pictures either to her or to her son, or they had been left in his Chelsea studio at his death and been appropriated, but none of the other pictures in the series can be shown to have come from this source. There is a possibility that they were among the approximately eighty pictures that were rejected from the Turner Bequest by the National Gallery in 1856 on the grounds that they were not genuine, but against this suggestion must be weighed both the fact that these exclusions were made by Sir Charles Eastlake, a friend of Turner's who knew his work well, and also that a number of canvases that were still less 'finished' than those in this series were accepted for the Bequest. Nor can these works be identified in the Schedules of 1854 and 1856, which listed all the works in Turner's possession when he died, whether by him or not. They may have simply remained as a pile of unstretched canvases, perhaps rolled up together, and have been removed from Turner's studio; Stefan Slabczynski, former Keeper of Conservation at the Tate Gallery, who cleaned No. 509 for the Louvre, reported that it had formerly been rolled up as had others of the group (see Nos. 510 and 517). A letter written by Effie Ruskin to her mother on 24 August 1852, telling her that Ruskin had renounced the executorship of Turner's will as he was sickened by all the disputes over it, continued '... certain it is that already Turner's lawyer has stolen a bag of drawings', which makes it sound as if the studio was open to pilfering of this kind. (Incidentally, had the late codicil to Turner's will that restricted the works that were to go to the nation to his 'finished pictures' not been set aside, none of this group, nor any other of Turner's unfinished pictures, would have formed part of the Turner Bequest.)

As Eric Shanes has pointed out, this composition is also based on a Liber Studiorum subject, though in this case the dependence is less close than that in the other examples in this group. The model is the plate published on 23 April 1812 and usually known as 'Bridge and Goats' (Rawlinson 43; repr. Finberg 1924, p. 171). In the painting the hill on the left is raised in height, the forms of the buildings on the left of the bridge are different, there is an extra arch to the bridge, and the trees on the right are completely different in form; the firmly defined road flanked by walls that leads diagonally across the foreground of the print has practically disappeared. Already, before Shanes's discovery, the subject of the painting had been identified by Giovanni Carandente as the Ponte delle Torri at Spoleto (this identification was first made in the Italian language exhibition catalogue for the British Council's tour of 1966–7). Turner first visited Spoleto in 1819, well after the date of the Liber plate, and sketched the bridge in the 'Ancona to Rome' sketchbook (CLXXVII-40 and, particularly close to the painting, 41, repr. Carandente, op. cit., pp. 17 and 16 respectively). When Turner came to paint No. 518 [N02424] he seems to have taken elements from both sources. The buildings to the left of the bridge are closer to those he sketched at Spoleto while the bridge itself, though different from the Liber plate, is still closer to that composition. One small detail is particularly close to the Liber plate, the hill surmounted by two small trees above the right-hand end of the bridge. The painting is therefore an interesting example of Turner's method, apparently showing him modifying an imaginary composition, that of the Liber plate, as a result of what he had actually seen subsequently in Italy, all at a date some twenty-five years after this experience.

JOHN ANDREOLI 6 foot 1, 215 pounds, .333 batting average over 10 games with the Daytona Cubs, Chicago's high Class A squad.
John Andreoli , a 2008 graduate of St. John's High in Shrewsbury, has been on a tear at the plate for the Daytona Cubs, the high Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
Over a 10-game span through last Sunday, the 22-year-old left fielder hit .333 (11 for 33) with a double, three triples, seven runs scored, and four runs batted in.
The right-handed hitting Andreoli raised his average to .281 with 11 doubles and five triples in 76 games. His 30 stolen bases (in 43 attempts) was leading the Florida State League.
"He's a fun kid to work with and watch. He plays as hard if not harder than anyone on our team,'' Daytona manager Brian Harper said of the former University of Connecticut standout, drafted by Chicago in the 17th round of baseball's first-year player draft in 2011, and a Cape Cod League all-star last summer with the Wareham Gatemen.
Signed last August by area scout Matt Sherman, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Andreoli played 10 games with two Cubs rookie league teams before returning to classes at the University of Connecticut, where he hit .317 as a junior.
With spring training winding down, Andreoli expected to return to the low A Peoria Cubs in the Midwest League, but made the most of his opportunity as Chicago made roster adjustments.
Andreoli said Harper, a 13-year big-league catcher with seven organizations, reminds his players that the game is essentially the same between the foul lines at every level of baseball.
Andreoli is eight credits shy of his finance degree at UConn.
His father, John, played football at the Holy Cross and briefly with the New England Patriots, and coached his son on the gridiron at St. John's.
His grandfather, Fran O'Brien, was head basketball and baseball coach at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and head basketball coach at Holy Cross. O'Brien is hoping to return to his assistant basketball coaching job at Brandeis University following foot surgery.
"Fran and my uncle, Kevin O'Brien, who led the country in hitting at Tufts, taught me so much about baseball,'' said Andreoli, who remembers sitting in the MIT dugout at age 5.
The family's athletic ties also include two first cousins, Red Sox reliever Daniel Bard, now pitching in Pawtucket, and his brother, Luke , who pitched for the Cape League's Brewster Whitecaps in 2010 and 2011.
Originally drafted by Boston out of high school, Luke Bard pitched for Georgia Tech and was drafted 42d overall this spring by the Minnesota Twins as a junior after putting up impressive numbers (1-0, 0.99 ERA). However, he suffered an arm injury and missed the second half of the season.
The Bay State Conference has named the Needham High boys' athletic program as its Carey Division All-Sport winner for the second time in three years. The award is based on number of wins and where teams finished in the division. Newton North High was runner-up by a slim margin. The Needham boys' tennis team had a second straight undefeated season (21-0) and was Division 1 state champ. The Rockets' football and boys' lacrosse teams were state champion runners-up. The Carey All-Sport girls' award was the opposite — Newton North was first and Needham second. . . .
West Chester University junior Jamie Dolan, a graduate of Hopkinton High, has been named to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference second team for women's lacrosse after helping the Golden Rams go 16-4 and advance to the NCAA Division 2 championship game, a 17-16 loss to C.W. Post. Dolan was second in team scoring with 64 points (44 goals, 20 assists) and totaled 40 ground balls, 40 draw controls, and 28 caused turnovers.

I was in Bear today and decided to stop by the Amtrak shops and saw the AEM-7s and HHP-8s in storage. Does anyone know what the future of these units is? I know that a few have been scrapped or sent out, but what will happen to these remaining units? They have been sitting in the same place for about 3-4 years now since I first discovered them. It seems as if the HHPs are still being maintained, but I could be wrong. The HHPs are split between Bear and Wilmington, with one AEM-7 in Wilmington.
I always wondered about the HHP-8s, taken out of service after less than a decade, the report is always that they "suffered from low reliability", among other things the bracket for the yaw dampers on the trucks broke repeatedly and the whole assembly would fly off (at more than 100 MPH sometimes) but that was corrected. There also were issues with heat in the cowl and unreliable power control components. MARC has started a rebuild program on theirs that is apparently successful, I wouldn't doubt that AMTRAK is holding on to theirs in hopes of selling them if someone could make them work. I recall a fight with Bombardier over warranties soured AMTRAK on them also, but it always seemed like cutting off one's nose to spite your face to let them sit like that.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it was my impression that things might be looking up for the HHP-8.
As PMC mentioned, MARC rebuilt an example and most of the issues with the model appeared to have been ironed out, with MARC set to rebuild the remaining 5. It has since led to various rumors such as Bombardier talking with Amtrak about doing a similar rebuild to their stored fleet.
I imagine it's a long shot that any of these will run again for Amtrak or another operator, but it's not quite as unrealistic as it appeared a while ago now that there's potential there for these still young locomotives to not be hangar queens.
And wasn't Caltrain interested in buying some of the AEM-7AC's?
I think that two AEM-7s have gone to museums. The first is at illinois Railway Museum and the second went to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
I do know that the last 2 out of 2 times I've caught a train from the station adjacent to BWI into Washington there's been an HHP-8 on the back end.
This photo showed up on the IRM Diesel Shop FB page with this caption: "Amtrak 945 (AEM7) displayed in yard 5. The AEM7 is a Swedish design by the ASEA company. ASEA partnered with EMD and Budd to produce these locomotives here in Illinois at EMD's La Grange plant. The 945 was built in April of 1982, Amtrak retired its last AEM7 in June of 2016. This locomotive will be a static display unit as it is not compatible with IRM's overhead wire system."
Maybe somebody could tell me why the AEM-7's were not simply rebuilt instead of being retired? What's going to be worn out? Everything is either replaceable or rebuildable, and the shells seem to be OK too.
It seems like a waste to me.
Not enough of them for one thing. Would've still required a second fleet of new power and all the associated costs and pitfalls of maintaining two fleets of electric locomotives, which would've only been slightly better than what they had before with two variations of AEM-7's and the Bombardiers.
And my impression was that Amtrak didn't have much flexibility before the 70 ACS-64's. Since they're not going to rebuild one locomotive at a time, what happens when say six AEM-7's are away for a major capital rebuild that turns them into essentially new power? And safety standards with crash-worthiness have advanced a lot as well since the AEM-7's were built.
I bet the ACS-64 is cheaper than trying to refurbish old locomotive bodies, recondition certain components, and essentially replace over 90% of the mechanical components with new technology. These Siemens locomotives, while apparently not perfect judging by threads such as over at Railroad.net with individuals that work on them talking about various issues, still have a lot to offer.
Proven technology, a single fleet of power and all the advantages that offers to Amtrak, enhanced safety for the crews operating them, and flexibility with Amtrak's existing locomotive fleet that was able to take up the slack as they slowly entered service and proved themselves. Not to mention that I assume there's some commonality with the Siemens Charger that looks set to be the major North American diesel passenger locomotive of the next few decades.
Don't forget that there is plenty of risk shifting involved too.
If they rebuild them and they have trouble, they're on their own.
If they get something new from Siemens, if something's wrong, Siemens has to fix it. And if it's really bad, Amtrak will be made whole.
That's also a big reason for going for something that's essentially "off the shelf".
Was Amtrak "made good" with the HHP- 8's?
Amtrak DID rebuild some of their AEM-7's.
Amtrak rebuilt 29 of its AEM-7's with Alstom AC propulsion as AEM-7AC at Wilmington Shops. The AC motors have more horsepower and double the HEP capacity. The unrebuilt motors became AEM-7DC.
As to the HHP-8's, they share components with the Acela power cars (locomotives). The Acela sets are the premier high revenue trains, and Boston, Sunnyside and Washington have to make the street every morning. So, Acela got the attention and the HHP's? You could grab an AEM-7 and sent it instead.
Incidentally, MARC is rebuilding their HHP-8's.
I think (note the word "think"), the big issue may be that Amtrak is not funded for maintenance but is for new purchases, so it's easier for them to buy new than remanufacture locomotives or anything else for that matter.


Lose your cell phone charger?
Ever been travelling and lost your *%&#; cell phone charger? Don't worry, you're not alone.
In fact, so many travellers lose their cell phone chargers, chances are that your hotel will have a few spares behind the desk. And, if it fits your phone, the charger is (usually) yours. Of course, this isn't an open invite to just go losing those chargers willy-nilly, but like the penny at the checkout stand, you know it's probably there if you need it.

SCOTCH PLAINS - The Union Catholic and Scotch Plains-Fanwood boys basketball teams met for the first time in two years Thursday night, and the outcome was quite different from what the Vikings had been used to.
The last time Union Catholic (9-7) and Scotch Plains-Fanwood played each other was Jan. 21, 2016, and the Vikings came away with a 87-52 win. On Thursday, Union Catholic held on for a 49-44 victory and handed the Raiders (12-2) their second loss of the season.

"We were pretty well prepared for them I thought, we had seen them a couple of times, coach (Steve) Siracusa is doing a really nice job with them, so we knew that they were going to be a really good opponent for us," Union Catholic coach Jim Reagan said. "I'm really proud of our kids and they did step up. We didn't play our best game I didn't think today, we didn't make shots that we normally make, but we grinded it out and found a way to win."
The fourth quarter started with Union Catholic up 29-28, and an 8-3 run by Scotch Plains-Fanwood put the Raiders ahead 36-32 with 6:19 remaining.
Ibn Lynn hit a 3-pointer with 5:58 left, which pulled the Vikings to 36-35, and Union Catholic took the lead for good on a basket by Justin Archer, 37-36, with 5:14 left in the game. Lynn then went to the line and made one of two, and Archer sank a pair to give Union Catholic a 40-36 advantage with 3:23 to play.
Jack Brady then connected on a 3-point play to pull Scotch Plains-Fanwood within one with 3:05 left, but another two free throws from Robert Miller gave Union Catholic breathing room, 42-39, with 2:52 left.
Lamont Cruse scored to get the Raiders back within one, but two trips to the free throw line by Lynn resulted in a 45-41 lead with 39.9 seconds to play. Gio Philip scored with 13.2 seconds to go to give Union Catholic a 47-41 lead, but Cruse hit a 3 with seven seconds left to make it 47-44.
Miller then went to the line with 3.6 seconds remaining and hit both shots to seal the win for the Vikings.
"I feel like in the fourth quarter we just came out and did what we had to do to get the win," Lynn said. "I think we did well rotating and trying to limit them to one-shot opportunities in the second half, and I feel like that helped us."
The game was tied 8-8 after the first quarter, and there were three ties in the second quarter, as Union Catholic led 22-21 at halftime. Both teams scored seven points in the third quarter before the Vikings outscored the Raiders 20-16 in the fourth.
"I think we always start off slow, I think that's a bad, bad habit that we have as a team," Miller said. "I think the fourth quarter we stepped up the energy, we definitely wanted to come out with intensity in the fourth quarter and get the W."
Lynn finished with 13 points and eight rebounds for Union Catholic, which snapped a three-game losing skid. Miller recorded 13 points and nine rebounds and Philip chipped in 11 points.
"On the offensive side I think we definitely moved the ball well, we worked a lot in practice on moving the ball, setting screens and getting everybody involved, getting the big men involved, and just trying to get everybody going," Miller said. "We just played as a team, I think with that we did real, real well. Instead of previous games I think where everyone would try and get their own shots, I think today everybody scored, we got everybody involved that came in, that was a big key."
For the Raiders, Cruse finished with a game-high 15 points and pulled down five rebounds. Dwight Laylor had 10 rebounds and six points.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood, which had a three-game win streak snapped, has enjoyed success the past two seasons after finishing 3-21 in 2015-16. The Raiders, whose only previous loss was to Rahway on Jan. 16, held Union Catholic to its third-lowest point total of the season on Thursday.
"We played them two years ago, that was our last time and we ended up losing by like 30-something, so we definitely showed some improvements and that we're not just going to get tossed around by some of these teams, we can play and compete and win these games," Siracusa said. "I think we played well at times, we just didn't convert some shots and make some plays down the stretch when we needed to, but I think it could have went either way.
"Obviously we tip our hats to Union Catholic, but I think we can compete and play with them as well and I think we showed it tonight."

Screening for developmental problems at primary care level: a field programme in San Isidro, Argentina

Information on prevalence and type of problems of psychomotor development (PPD) is necessary for implementation of specific care programmes at field level. With the purpose of obtaining this information, a screening test, the Prueba Nacional de Pesquisa (PRUNAPE) for PPD was implemented in three health centres in San Isidro, a city near Buenos Aires, attended by different socio-economic groups: centres A and B were located in the inner city, and C in a middle-class area. The test was administered by three previously trained paediatricians to 839 apparently healthy children aged 0-5 years. The failure rates were 24%, 19% and 16% in centres A, B and C respectively (20% in total). Out of the 170 children failing the test and referred to hospital for diagnosis and treatment, only 96 complied and went through a series of studies carried out by a previously prepared multidisciplinary team. With the exception of children who failed the Battelle test [classified as Global Developmental Delay (GDD)], final diagnoses were classified according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition: GDD (60 children), pervasive developmental disorders (11), communication disorders (10), motor disorders (6, of whom 2 were with cerebral palsy), attention deficit disorders (5), attachment disorders (2), normal children (3). Co-morbidity was present in 22 affected children. Forty-three per cent of children failing the test did not attend hospital or did not complete studies because of major social and family problems, the family not living in the area, or the parents preferring to consult their own paediatrician. Health centres and children not selected in a randomised way, and a significant proportion of them not complying with the indication of hospital referral were major sources of bias, so that PPD prevalences, positive and negative predictive values should be interpreted with great caution. Further studies accounting for these sources of bias are needed to confirm the observed prevalence of PPD. Training of health personnel, at hospital and health centre level, priority settings, and operational research to evaluate effectiveness of treatments and care delivery systems at field level are necessary in Argentina for optimal use of limited healthcare resources.
