Q: merging two python lists with boolean mask I have a simple python list and a boolean mask.  First that list is separated out into two lists based on the mask, and then I want to combine those two lists back into the original list, without copying/emptying the two lists (which rules out using .pop() or .copy()).  Simple enough to implement in pandas, np, or long-winded code.  However, I need to implement it in lists; no extra libraries possible (something like itertools would be ok).
Question: How can I combine two lists with a mask cleanly, without clutter and without np/pandas/etc?
Minimum example:
# some data
x = [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0]
print('original list: {}'.format(x))
# a boolean mask
mask = [True,False,False,True]
print('boolean mask: {}'.format(mask))
# splitting based on the mask is easy enough
xt = [xx for (xx,m) in zip(x,mask) if m]
xf = [xx for (xx,m) in zip(x,mask) if not(m)]
print('true mask of x: {}'.format(xt))
print('false mask of x: {}'.format(xf))

# --output--
# original list: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]
# boolean mask: [True, False, False, True]
# true mask of x: [1.0, 4.0]
# false mask of x: [2.0, 3.0]

Now combine them; the problem I want to solve.  Here are three ways that work but are disqualified (first is clunky, second uses np, third empties xt and xf):
# Method 1: desired performance, but long-winded
i=0
j=0
x_merge=[]
for m in mask:
    if m:
        x_merge.append(xt[i])
        i += 1
    else:
        x_merge.append(xf[j])
        j += 1
print('merging back together (clunky): {}'.format(x_merge))

# Method 2: in numpy it's not hard either
import numpy as np
x_merge2 = np.zeros(len(xt)+len(xf))
x_merge2[mask]=xt
x_merge2[[not(m) for m in mask]]=xf
print('merging back together (np): {}'.format(x_merge2))

# Method 3: clean, but empties xt and xf, which I can't do; copy/pop also no good
x_merge3 = [xt.pop(0) if m else xf.pop(0) for m in mask]
print('merging back together (pop): {}'.format(x_merge3))

# --output--
# merging back together (clunky): [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]
# merging back together (np): [1. 2. 3. 4.]
# merging back together (pop): [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]

This feels simple enough to achieve but a bit tricky without copy/pop, pd,np, or similar (which is a real requirement based on the type constraints in the surrounding code; I can't cast it back to a list or anything like that).  Can someone tell me how to do this right?
Edit: I searched so before posting (without luck) but yes the answer is contained within this post: Merge two or more lists with given order of merging.

A: Method 3, but with standard iterators instead of popping.
xti, xfi= iter(xt), iter(xf)
merged = [next(xti) if m else next(xfi) for m in mask]

(xti.next() will work, but only in python2)

Silicon Valley spiegata da "Silicon Valley"
Il New Yorker su Silicon Valley, la serie TV di HBO:
"Silicon Valley," now in its third season, is one of the funniest shows on television; it is also the first ambitious satire of any form to shed much light on the current socio-cultural moment in Northern California. The show derives its energy from two semi-contradictory attitudes: contempt for grandiose tech oligarchs and sympathy for the entrepreneurs struggling to unseat them. […]
"I've been told that, at some of the big companies, the P.R. departments have ordered their employees to stop saying 'We're making the world a better place,' specifically because we have made fun of that phrase so mercilessly. So I guess, at the very least, we're making the world a better place by making these people stop saying they're making the world a better place."

19: Fun With Magazines
If you're into bikes, whether talking about them around the campfire--we refer to this as 'biking off'--or riding them in exotic locations all over the world, being a magazine editor is about as dreamy a job as you can imagine. Everyone treats you like a king, and you never need to pick up the tab. For most guys, it's their only chance to see what life is like for an extremely hot woman in a bar. People pay attention to you and smile at you and buy you drinks.
This is because, as a manufacturer, you try to get the editors attention. Often that means taking them to a beautiful place, or maybe a strip club. Since they usually don't write about the strip clubs (at least not in their cycling publications) that leaves them only beautiful places to write about. Oh, and hopefully the product that you're trying to convince them is worthy of their blessings.
On more than one occasion, we have accompanied journalists on these journeys, or even shamelessly sponsored these journeys.
One such sponsored journey happened way back when, in the Summer of 1992 to be exact, when we organized a company trip with a journalist (Captain Dondo from Bicycling & Mountain Bike), some IMBA folk and a few of our employees' spouses or spousal equivalents.
The starting point was Sun Valley Idaho, an absolute paradise for mountain biking. The trip was a bit of a company picnic along with our very good friends at Western Spirit Cycling out of Moab. We visited 14 different hot springs on this trip, and soaked in every one.
1992 was before we carried digital cameras, so instead we brought along a photographer named Beth Wald. She snapped a few shots for us, including the infamous, legendary "From the Bums at Ibis" Christmas card, to this day the only Christmas card we've ever sent out, probably because this is such a hard act to follow.
Not only did we have a professional photographer, we also had a professional writer (Dondo). Since we had someone who was paid to write, he actually took notes and remembered things that we've long since forgotten. For that reason, we feel as if it's best to let him tell the story, by simply sharing an article he wrote about the trip for the March 1993 issue of Mountain Bike magazine. We've transcribed the article for you to read below, with a couple of our own pictures thrown in.
There's more below the transcribed story, so don't hesitate to scroll all the way down.

HOT TIMES IN IDAHO
It's just before sunrise, and the moon has set. So why are the coyotes howling? I crack a crusty, sleep-filled eye and check my watch. It's 4:43-time to wage that never-ending battle between the urge to roll over in my cozy sleeping bag for another hour or 2 and the urge to relieve my loaded bladder. My bladder wins.
As I wiggle myself and my sloshing gut free of the tent, my half-comatose brain makes some calculations that would startle me if I was more awake. It's cold and white stuff is falling, therefore it is snowing. I smell wood smoke, therefore Lu has started a campfire and will soon have coffee on. The coyotes' yipping is becoming more insistent, therefore....
Oh, shit!
The forest is on fire.
The white stuff accumulating on the rain fly is ash, and Lu hasn't lit a campfire all week because of the forest fire danger. A thick bank of smoke is rolling through the valley and obliterating the surrounding peaks. I'm wide awake now. And I feel like whimpering along with the coyotes.
This story isn't supposed to end this way. This is supposed to be a tale of a 5-day, fully supported, point-to-point mountain bike adventure through the rugged terrain outside Ketchum, Idaho, traversing 14 hot springs (that's 2.8 springs per day for you calculator types) with a group of people so cool that I wouldn't mind being marooned on a desert island with anyone of them. SO WHO WROTE THIS DAMN FOREST FIRE INTO MY MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE?
Okay, let's compose ourselves, shall we? No need to blither.
FUN HOG COMPANY PICNIC
Let's roll the tape back to the beginning.
Our trip started last August on a Monday with a LeMans style, one-legged race to our bikes piled in a parking lot on the westernmost outskirts of Ketchum. I gave Lu Warner (the loudest resident of Moab, Utah, and chief guide/cook/bottle washer for his company, Western Spirit Cycling) a hefty shove in order to reach my bike first. As a card-carrying, club-car sport racer, I can't resist cheating in a mountain bike race--even if it's on foot and only lasts 10 seconds.
In a flash, we were mounted and rolling swiftly down the pavement Warm Springs Road, which quickly faded into a sandy dirt washboard stretching 100 miles to Atlanta, our final destination. But our first stop, Frenchman's Bend Hot Springs, lay an easy 11 miles to the west, and we could barely contain our excitement.
Four-fifths of Idaho is mountainous. But the peaks aren't as high as Colorado's (good for oxygen sucking lowlanders like me), and its backcountry isn't as crowded California's or Washington's. Best of all, nearly 90% of the state is either Forest Service or BLM territory, which means trails are abundant and open to cyclists.
I normally avoid guided tours . They're much too fraught with itineraries, set menus, and scheduled stops for my walkabout adventure tastes. The thing I fear most about such groups, though, is member incompatibility. But this trip promised to be different. The clients were picked from a talent pool of fully certified Professional Funhogs-not a whiner among 'em.
The core of our group was Scot Nicol, his wife Ginny, and the merry pranksters who operate and hang around Scot's mountain bike manufacturing company, Ibis Cycles. This tour was their company picnic. I'm not sure why I was invited, but I accepted without hesitation. Maybe that's why.
RUNNING A BATH
In what seems like no time we reach Warm Springs Creek (which is anything but warm). You must ford its icy waters to reach the natural hot springs on the far shore. The trip over isn't bad, when you're still pumped from riding. But the chilly return trip, when you're all mellow from a good soak, sucks. The trip notes call this painful sensation "a refreshing interlude to some serious soaking." Hah!
Since Frenchman's Bend is so close to Ketchum, the Forest Service has barmed bathing in the buff. So when Lu told us we had to wear suits, we stripped our bike clothes and donned beachwear right in.the middle of the road. Lu rolled his eyes and followed, perhaps wondering what he'd gotten himself into. This was no timid bunch taking a 5-day walk on the wild side. These were wild-side dwellers on vacation.
The hot springs emanate from fissures along the shore, spilling nearboiling water into the stream. Over the years, bathers have stacked rocks to collect the hot water and form pools. There are 3 pools at Frenchman's Bend, providing enough room to accommodate our group of 15, plus Lu and his employees, Rachel and Harley (who are driving 2 Chevy Suburbans laden with all our camping gear, spare parts, food, water, and beer).
You can adjust the pools' temperatures by arranging rocks to admit or divert the frigid creek water. I tune the middle pool to a perfect 105 degrees Fahrenheit, using my Casio thermometer watch as a gauge, and ooze into it with a blissful sigh.
"AAAAIIIIIIYIYIYIYIYI1 " We recross the "Refreshing interlude," redon bike duds, and continue the day's ride. So much for bliss.
YUPPIE BEDOUINS
I should know better. When a guy like Lu, who competes successfully at the national level (a week after our trip, he took 10th in the master's cross-country race at the NORBA finals in Durango), describes the route in his propaganda sheets as "moderate, some steep climbs," I should plan on sprouting wings.
"Lunch will be waiting for you at the top," says Lu as he motors away in plume of dust. "The top" is Dollarhide Summit, elevation 9,000 feet and change, roughly a mile higher than Ketchum. But we don't know this yet. All we know is it's 15 miles to lunch, so we ride.
And ride, and ride, and ride. It's easy cruising to the base of the climb, but from there on it's a 20x30T, lowgear meditation session. Gravity groups fuller-figured riders- Gil Willis, Jim Hasenauer, and myself-in the rear echelon. Paucity loves company. Good thing, since the climb takes 2 hours.
Fortunately for us, gravity doesn't let up on the downhill. So after a lunch of mostly water- to mitigate the effects of the high altitude, low humidity, 90-degree temperature, and morning's sweat loss in the hot spring--the fat boys take revenge on the climbers.
The narrow road down from Dollarhide is a fiendish combination of washboard surface (due to the summerlong absence of rain) and hairpin turns. Mountain bike heaven, in other words. Gil thunders by, cutting me off in a tight right-hander. Jim has already gone ahead and I feel compelled to chase them, pushing closer to the limit that fine line between control and disaster. The only thing I'll stop for now is a Rock Shox salesman.
Although total mileage for the day was only 35 miles on dirt roads, I was glad to see the Suburbans ("Mormon Porsches," Lu calls them) being offloaded at our camp, tucked amidst the Worswick Hot Springs in an undeveloped valley. The first items off were 15 folding chaise longues, which were set up in the shade of a free-standing tarp. Next came the giant beer cooler.
After quickly pitching our tents in 2 distinctly separate sectors- snoring and nonsnoring-we reconvened under the tarp to drink beer, eat tons of guacamole and chips, swap tales, and zone out. There we wallowed like yuppie bedouins, waiting for the servants to bring us more to eat and drink. It's a program I could learn to love-as long as the avocados and Ballantine Ale hold out.
After an amazing meal of Cajun' style fish and numerous forms of tasty carbohydrate prepared by our guides on a pair of Coleman camp stoves, we all took a bath together in a giant hot spring-fed pool. Naked. Sure, we pretended to not be checking each other out, but we did. I did, at least. The most curious part of my curiosity, however, was how quickly it ebbed. Once the novelty wears off, nudity seems pretty bland compared to the diversity of clothing. Frederick's of Hollywood was no dummy. We soaked until the stars came out, then stumbled, pleasantly exhausted, to our tents.
It was frosty cold when I awoke----typical high-desert weather. I made a naked dash for the hot springs pool and met several others who'd been similarly inspired. A later arrival brought a single cup of coffee and shared it with us. It felt good to stretch in the warm water after yesterday's ride and a night's sleep on the ground. Mist rising from the hot springs gave the valley a primeval appearance. A grazing brontosaurus would not have been out of place. I dressed and went looking for more coffee. After 2 cups of Harley's espresso and a bran muffin, I was primed for the groover.
"What's a groover?" you say.
One of the moral conditions of operating backcountry tours in the West is self-containtnent. That means carrying out everything you carry in, except the water filtered through your kidneys. That's right, used food must be carried out. Thus, the Groover.
The groover is a fixture commonly used on river trips. Conveniently located 100 yards downwind from camp, it's an ammo can with a plastic garbage bag liner. It's called a groover because sitting on it puts grooves in one's butt cheeks. Although ours was a deluxe model with a toilet seat, it was nonetheless a groover and, as such, governed by the "Groover Rules of Engagement." Rule number 1: no peeing.
I've never considered simultaneous sphincter relaxation a luxury until this morning. But there's plenty of incentive for one-at-a-time control. Anyone caught peeing in the groover has suck the air out of the bag when we pack up and move on. At least that's what Lu said. I'm not going to take chances when the stakes are that high.
That mastered, we break camp and continue west along the Little Smokey Creek, as sing up a dip in Preis Hot Springs at the 5-mile mark in favor of a more intriguing option farther along.
At the confluence of Little Smokey Creek and the South Fork of the Boise River we hang a right onto the first singletrack of the trip. Our destination is Skillern Hot Springs, but it's the going, not the getting there, that's good. We climb northward for more than an hour and regroup in the shade of a pine grove.
"The spring's dry," says Lu, returning from a high-speed reconnaissance ride farther up the trail. But that's okay. We still have a humdinger, return-trip descent to play with.
Buffed singletrack is a foreign surface for me. I'm more at home picking my way over the rocks and roots so prevalent on eastern trails. Such lowspeed riding carries little consequence should your mind wander. Not so on this fast stuff.
I wiped out so hard that when I got up I couldn't find my bike right away. Riding too fast into a turn where the trail had become deeply channeled, I lost my balance when both wheels wedged against the far berm. We're talking bigtime, high-side, end-over-end, yard-sale endo. The landing tore a hole in my saddle and cost me a little elbow skin. I was bummed nobody saw it (even the Rumanian judge would have given me a 10), but glad my bones were intact.
ATLANTA BURNING
Maybe all this nude bathing is sexier than I thought. Today, I feel like a victim of testosterone poisoning. I charged. up the first pitch of James Creek Summit in my middle ring, topped it, then started down what I figured was the other side, only to find another pitch that was far steeper than the first. Now, about a mile up the bitch, er, pitch, I'm looking at my thermometer watch, which reads 107º F. Jim and I pause in the shade of a small tree and I try to ask him, "Can I have some of your water?" But the only sound my throat will make is an imitation of a bull frog with laryngitis. Jim hands me his bottle.
After lunch at the summit we descend the gnarliest section of dualtrack we've encountered yet. My arms are so tired from getting pounded by washboard that I take my chances riding the loose section between the tracks. It feels like surfing, or maybe skiing powder, at 40 mph. I drift through the corners, steering solely with my hips. Cool!
On the final stretch into Atlanta I get an overwhelming feeling when I realize how far I am from civilization. We're 100 miles of bad road and 2 passes away from the world, adrift on an ocean of wilderness. I'm always amazed and thankful when I learn that places like these still exist within the continental United States. I can see peaks in the Sawtooth wilderness area in the distance.
During the war between the states, Atlanta was a major confederate gold milling town, but today it's a near ghost town of roughly 25 year-round residents. One of them is sharing the shade of the general store's porch with us when a cloud rolls through the valley with a deep, rumbling sound. Lightning strikes the mountainside before us, and rain spatters the ground. The few drops that fall evaporate instantly, stirring the dust on the road, but do nothing to reduce the tinderbox condition of the forest.
"Money cloud," says the Atlantan. Forest fires equate to employment in this rugged region. But it's an ugly industry.
A forest fire at its worst moves faster than you can drive. According to those who've been to the brink, then the flames devour oxygen so quickly when overtaking you that they literally suck the breath from your lungs. As you lie there suffocating, your hair and clothing ignite from the intense heat and your skin begins to blacken and peel as you lose consciousness. There's no time for pain-unless you survive.
The lightning strike smolders overnight, then ignites in the morning breeze. Soon the entire camp is awake. Lu heads for town to check on the fire's location. Rumor has it that Willow Creek campground, our previous night's digs, was fully involved. I wondered if my story might, instead, be a eulogy for this great place.
Despite the heavy smoke, the Forest Service claimed we were in no immediate danger. So we spend the day, as planned, riding singletrack around Atlanta.
We follow a dualtrack along the Queens River through smoke as thick as London fog, with one important difference: London fog won't kill you. There's a wariness in our group today. I catch myself keeping note of the nearest stream, pond, or other body of water large enough to offer refuge from the unseen flames, should the wind shift our way. But the smoke simply blots the sun, making our fourth day of riding ironically chilly. We climb a gradual singletrack to an unnamed lake, then return via the same route. Making a big loop over the next ridge and taking a chance on losing our way could be fatal on a day like today.
We had planned from the start to fly, in shifts, out of Atlanta on a small charter plane while Harley and Rachel drove the Suburbans to Ketchum with our bikes loaded on top. Fire paranoia changed our departure time from Friday afternoon to early Fridiay morning. We packed for the last time in the pre-dawn darkness, then rode to the airstrip to make our escape.
From the air I saw Dante's own private Idaho. Several hellish walls of smoke rose from the forest floor where 15,000- 20,000-acre patches burned. The smaller blazes would soon be left alone, the firefighters called to contain the 280,000-acre inferno endangering Idaho City. (It would smolder into autumn.) But the fire would spare Atlanta and our Willow Creek campsite.
One day we frolicked in the wet and reveled in the wild. But then Idaho's natural playground became a menacing battlefield. And, at least for the moment, its torrid heat charred the memories of those soothing hot springs.
Round-trip and unsupported, the 100 miles between Ketchum and Atlanta is a difficult ride, but not impossible. You'll have to haul 7-8 days worth of food, but treatable water is plentiful despite the arid conditions. You can ship the bulk of your gear to Ketchum (as we did), fly into Boise, and take the bus to Ketchum. Or fly with your gear to Stanley (a more expensive air ticket), just north of Ketchum, and ride from there. Or you could spend a month just riding singletrack and , camping near Ketchum.
The Elephant's Perch in Ketchum (208/726-3497) is a good source for maps, information, bike gear, and service.
Or you can take a trip like ours with Club Decadent, better known as Western Spirit Cycling, 800/845-BIKE.
That conjured up some good memories of a great trip. Time to book another trip to Sun Valley.
After we got back to Ketchum, being the overacheievers we are, it was time for more riding. We did a photo shoot out on one of these rides, then Dondo published a nice little skills how-to of Chuck on his Mountain Trials bike. Click the image for a big view of how relatively lame we were back then compared to the crazy stuff they're doing today, like triple back flips. By the way, this Mt. Trials bike now resides in our little Ibis museum in our Santa Cruz HQ.
When we first started writing this series, we asked a few friends of Ibis to write up something about Ibis and some of the experiences they've had with us. One of the people we asked was Dondo, author of the two pieces above. He's not writing for Mountain Bike or Bicycling any more. But he's living in Vermont and still is very passionate about bikes. And he still complains (as all of us do) about not getting to ride enough. Dondo's still got his writing chops as you can tell from the piece below.
This installment of our 30th birthday series is called "Fun With Magazines", and the note below from Dondo is a good reminder of a few of those fun trips that we have taken together. Chuck's a bit embarrassed by this, but it's getting published anyway. So here you go, some kind and flattering words from one of our favorite magazine guys.
Words about Ibis and chuck from Dondo
Scot Nicol was a pretty not famous guy when I met him at the West Hill Bike Shop in Putney, Vermont, in the summer of 1984. He would go on to be one of the most influential owners of a mountain bike company ever and I would become the author of, among other things, a column in Mountain Bike Magazine synonymous with my nickname, Captain Dondo.
What Scot is not famous for is what a great teacher he is. He was married to one for a while, but I don't think that's where it came from. My first lesson from Scot was all about the merits of TIG welding steel tubes versus fitting them into lugs and brazing them. It was unheard of in 1984, except maybe on Schwinn Varsities and department store BMX bikes. Scot's bike was neither. It was the lightest mountain bike I'd ever seen. It had grease fittings everywhere: bottom bracket, pedals, hubs, and I think maybe even the headset. It had drop handlebars. It had two chainrings instead of three. And it was screaming pink. Most of the mountain bikes to that point had been painted to maybe appeal to hikers and other depressed people.
Scot was in town for the Ross Four-Day Stage race in Wendell State Forest near Turner's Falls, Massachusetts. He was in Putney visiting two friends who worked at The Putney School. We had dinner with them in their dorm apartment, which is now 100 yards from my office at The Putney School. Little did I know then that that's where I'd end up. Anyway, I was also bound for the Ross race and Scot needed a ride. We shared a hotel room with my buddy, Charlie Tartaglione, in Northampton.
Lesson number two came the night before the observed trials competition. Scot showed me how to ride trials in the hotel room, bouncing from floor, to bed, to bathtub. He was number two in the nation at the time but still, somehow, not famous. I was a bike shop grease monkey. Life was simple. We went out for pizza with some people we knew from Putney. Four years later, one of them would become my wife. It was the really, really pretty one.
The following year I visited Scot's first shop in Sebastopol, California. His house at that time was two Airstream trailers welded into an ell shape. He taught my bike shop boss, Neil Quinn, and I a neat trick to use in San Francisco. You start at the top of Lombard Street--you know the one, all twisty and switch-backed—with the parking brake locked. You then drive down really slowly, making horrible skidding sounds, and watch the tourists leap off the street and into the shrubs. It's very useful if you value cheap entertainment.
Scot taught me the nuances of riding dropoffs in Moab, Utah, the following year when I became an editor at Bicycling Magazine. We had dinner in my tent during a sand storm. It was crunchy. In Idaho Scot showed me how to draft really closely at high speed on buff singletrack so as to not get blinded by the first riders' dust plume. While we were there, Scot did a photos shoot for Mountain Bike with Beth Wald on how to negotiate singletrack switchbacks. None of the Lombard Street lesson carried over, but that was fine, too. On a ride in a swamp in Borneo I got to see him pick a leach off his leg. I learned what "I just threw up in my mouth a little" meant.
Besides selling boatloads of really cool Ibis bikes (I still ride mine. It was born in 1988. It's name is Big Pink, below), Scot was hip before it was hip to be hip. He got me wearing plaid shorts and those elastic-waisted jammie-bottom-style pants the weight lifters later absconded with. He inspired me to wear Ray Ban Wayfarers before they were cool again. And when my wife, Carlotta, and I visited his house with our baby daughter, Emily, he schooled me in the ways of Chai steamed by a Pavoni espresso maker, before anyone even knew what Chai was. Without Scot, I'd have been even more of a dork than I am now.
So when my conscience started telling me that I'd written all that could be written about mountain biking several times over and that I had become a paycheck player, I quit my famous-making job at Mountain Bike Magazine. I said to Carlotta, "Now I get to find out who my friends really are." Some, believe it or not, were mostly nice to me so I'd write about them in magazines. Can you imagine? Scot wasn't one of those. He was actually among the first to check in and see how it was going. Now I'm much happier and writing again for Dirt Rag. And Scot is still my friend.
That's really no reason to buy an Ibis. But all that knowledge, style, innovation, iconoclasm, and concern for his fellow riders is in every damned bike that's ever gone out of the warehouse, except maybe for that ugly period when somebody else thought they could make Ibis bikes.
I learned that an Ibis is also a shore bird with a big pecker. So is Scot.
Only it's not the end. There's more coming. Thanks Dondo and thanks to all of you who made it all the way down here to the end.

We're just a few weeks away from some of rugby's oldest and most bitter national rivalries resuming as the sport's oldest tournament, the Six Nations Championship, kicks off once again.
A Lions tourist back in 2013, the Glasgow Warriors full-back might not have made a test start in Australia, but it would be a shock if he didn't occupy one of the back three slots in New Zealand this summer. Quite simply, the man from Melrose is one of the most exciting, devastating attacking players in world rugby – he has the sort of pace that makes him a threat to score from anywhere on the pitch, as evidenced by his 13 international tries in 48 appearances, including a brace against Georgia back in November. Hogg is also a weapon from the tee, with an absolutely booming right boot that can easily knock over penalties from within his own half.
Boots worn: Nike Magista Opus – Nike's latest cleat silo, released in 2014, is designed for creative players that provides comfort and traction and with a grip design on the top of the boot for enhanced kicking control. Hogg wore the Magista's in eye-catching Hyper Grape colorway for most of 2016 but has been recently spotted in the Magista Red/Yellow colorway (above) that was released last summer. No telling what distinctive look he will pull on for Six Nations' action.
After making his debut for Wales in the Autumn internationals, don't be surprised if Sam Davies continues his rise to the top of the game by taking the coveted number 10 jersey before the end of the Championship. Dan Biggar might be the man in possession, but he's struggled to keep his place in the Ospreys team thanks to the 2013 IRB Junior World Player Of The Year's superb form, and with the latter a more natural runner and distributor (not to mention one of the most effortless line-kickers you'll ever see), it's not hard to imagine Wales coach Rob Howley thinking Sam is the man for the new, more expansive game plan the men in red are attempting to develop.
Boots worn: ASICS Lethal Speed – ASICS athlete Davies has been lighting up the Guinness Pro12 with his Lethal Speed cleats. The Lethal Speed's improved outsole tooling certainly came in handy when Davies stroked over a perfect last-minute drop-goal to spare Wales' blushes against Japan when he came of the bench for his debut in November.
Huw Jones has taken a unique path to international rugby. Educated at the famous Millfield School in Somerset, the 23-year-old centre moved to South Africa and attended the University of Cape Town. Remarkably, playing for UCT in the 2014 Varsity Cup drew the notice of Western Province and by 2015 he was making his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers. There aren't many Scotsmen scoring tries in Super Rugby, and he was duly called up and started Scotland's game against Australia in November – the 6'1″ flyer scored a brace of tries on his international debut, marking him out as a serious talent to watch in the Six Nations.
Boots worn: adidas Predator Malice – while the Predator is a boot generally associated with fly-halves and other kickers, outside centre Jones prefers the control offered by the Predator, and sported the stunning Night Navy/Silver Metallic/Solar Blue colorway from the Elements pack during the Autumn internationals.
Boots worn: Nike Mercurial Vapor – Henshaw's move east to Dublin also saw him switch boot suppliers to Nike from adidas. The Mercurial Vapor is designed for increased traction and acceleration thanks to a mix of chevron-shaped molded and metal screw-in studs.
England coach Eddie Jones is clearly a huge fan of Alex Lozowski having picked him for his Autumn international squad after some eye-catching displays in the Premiership covering for England star Owen Farrell's absence. The young Saracens fly-half didn't make a matchday squad in November, but look for that to change in the Six Nations – Jones has described the versatile 22-year-old as the Premiership find of the season, and sees him having an international future filling in at 10, 12 and 15. With an excellent kicking game, fluid running and impressive distribution for a rookie, look for him to make an impact somewhere during this year's championship.

Señor Murphy opened its first retail and production location in a long, narrow adobe building in Sena Plaza, Santa Fe in 1971. The original crew was young and inexperienced, but they were led by Neil Murphy, a fourth generation Candymaker with a commitment to high quality, locally made products. Murphy, a confectioner from Dublin, Ireland, was also dedicated to the signature ingredients that make Senor Murphy's chocolates so distinctive to this day: indigenous New Mexican ingredients such as piñon nuts and chile. Señor Murphy's commitment to quality chocolates and confections is only possible through the work of our dedicated staff, many of whom were trained in our first Sena Plaza store, and who maintain an allegiance to traditional cooking techniques. All of our toffees, brittles, caramels, and fudges are hand stirred in copper kettles to ensure that the taste and texture meet our standards, and that the batches are small and fresh. Whenever possible, we use local ingredients from small businesses that are as committed to quality as we are. Nearly four decades after opening our first store, Señor Murphy chocolates are still crafted by the same dedicated confectioners, though in a larger location in Santa Fe. Though our line of products has greatly expanded and we have six retail locations in New Mexico, our dedication to our recipes and hand-made techniques remains strong. You can find it in our buttery caramels, our smooth dark chocolate, or the spice of chile that lingers on your tongue: every bite of Señor Murphy's chocolate is a savory indication of our commitment to our chocolate and to our customers. So whether you're looking to give your inner child a treat with a crisp caramel apple, or your mature taste buds are screaming for dark chile pistachio bark, look no further than Señor Murphy's, Santa Fe Candymaker extraordinaire.

Which Female Heroes should be remade with double Jointed elbows.
By SpiderS,
November 23, 2020 in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
It came to my attention that first pin less and double jointed Hasbro figure isn't even from Marvel line but G.I.Joe, which as far as I'm aware never used pin less tech. It's only matter of time before this will be incorporated into Marvel Legends line, So I would like to ask which females superheroes and villains do you want to see remade with this new feature?
My #1 pick so far is Elektra she desperately needs good articulation in arms, I would add black cat but she was just released in retro line, Both female Captain Marvels of past and present could use new updated figures as well.
I don't think it's impossible. I think it's been established by the ML team that it's not a design issue so much as it is a aesthetics issue. Skinnier arms just don't look good with double jointed elbows and it's the opinion of many toy "experts" that they also make the skinnier arms more flimsy and prone to warping. Sure, you'll see them time to time with larger females like Proxima Midnight, but TBH that figure was just a dude with boobs (kinda). I don't think we're gonna see any redos on female figures just to add a double elbow anytime soon.
I personally agree with the team about the double elbow issue. I have female figures from other companies with double elbows and I do feel the single design is much better looking and the functionality is good enough. It's a question that's existed for as long as I can remember and the team has stood firmly behind this decision from day one and I don't think they intend on changing it, at least for now. I think it's time to just come to terms that it's just never gonna happen.
Monron brings up the real truth here, the double elbows just generally don't look visually pleasing on skinny arms, and tend to get warped, I personally don't feel like I like the way it looks and appreciate that Hasbro cares about how the figures aesthetically look over just pleasing the select few who desire more poseability. I don't think we will see the double elbow ever come a constant part of the female figures, but a few here and there when they can slip it in sure. I can't say for certain that if they manage to update the technology that it couldn't become a standard in years to come, but I am currently cool with the way the female figures look for the most part (aside from needing more variety in bucks).
They just need to do what some of their other brands have done/are doing and get a better single jointed elbow in the mix. I mean Lightning Collection does it just fine, and Black Series Jaina Solo has a really good single jointed elbow if memory serves. Legends just needs to get with it.
Once they've done that...all the female Spider characters, the martial artists, everyone needs a re-do with better elbows, and butterfly joints, and a better crunch.
I'd personally rather have better looking arms than have them bend just a little bit more, but Spiral seems like she might be a candidate to really benefit from double-jointed elbows if they could make it look okay.
Proxima Midnight has double jointed elbows and so does Rescue- and she also has biceps swivel. Looks fantastic. If the problem is "super skinny" arms then stop making the arms so skinny. The Rogue from the Pyro 2 pack, for example, has perfectly reasonable legs but the arms look too slight for the rest of her.
But I wouldn't stop with re-making female figures with double jointed elbows- I'd seriously overhaul their whole female line. No, I'm not saying they all should have Juggernaut wave Rogue/ Gamorra body types but neither should they all have scrawny Kate Bishop bucks either. So yeah, do that, and bring on the double jointed elbows. That should be standard!


Tes is reporting that leaders of around 700 schools, further education colleges and pupil referral units in the capital will be asked how they safeguard pupils against the threat of knife crime on their premises, and how students are educated about the dangers of carrying a weapon.
Ofsted's regional director for London Mike Sheridan said the responses would not be used to help form judgements on individual schools.
Schools can take part anonymously but can also choose to identify themselves and even have focused visits from Ofsted to help its research.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan had described an "epidemic" of knife crime and last June offered free metal detecting "wands" to all 498 secondary schools and 63 FE colleges in London.
The latest figures showed that 150 schools and colleges have taken up the offer. The mayor's office said more schools were expected to do so.
Mr Sheridan said that knife crime was not just a London issue and he hoped the findings of their report would help school leaders in other parts of the country too.

Tags: knife crime, Ofsted, and Safeguarding.
'Not looking to catch anyone out'….that is the problem. School leaders have become obsessed with the idea that all the children are victims and none are criminals. They have also become obsessed with the method of attack rather than the state of mind behind the attack. They need to look deeper than the knives, and maybe reflect on the amoral culture that underlies the entire educational system.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jacob Stallings hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the San Francisco Giants 8-6 on Saturday night.
Stallings had a two-out, two-run double that capped four-run comeback in the seventh that made it 6-all.
Adam Frazier singled to lead off the Pittsburgh ninth and was thrown out at the plate when he tried to score on Bryan Reynolds' one-out double. Reynolds took third on the play, and trotted home when Stallings sent a drive into the left-field bleachers off Jake McGee (1-1).
Kevin Newman hit an RBI single and another run scored on a wild pitch as the Pirates rallied in the seventh.
Pirates closer Richard Rodriguez (2-0) allowed a two-out single to Brandon Crawford in the ninth before getting Mauricio Dubon to pop out.
Pittsburgh has won four of seven games since losing eight of its previous nine. The Pirates beat the NL West-leading Giants on Friday night on a walkoff sacrifice by Gregory Polanco in the 11th inning.
Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton was ejected for the first time this season while arguing balls and strikes in the eighth.
Darin Ruf and Brandon Crawford hit home runs off Tyler Anderson to put the Giants ahead 3-0 in the first. Mike Tauchman hit a two-run homer off reliever Kyle Keller for a 6-2 lead in the sixth.
Giants starter Johnny Cueto went 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs and eight hits.
ROSTER MOVE
The Pirates optioned RHP Miguel Yajure to Triple-A Indianapolis and recalled Keller from Indianapolis. Yajure one-hit the Giants through five shutout innings in his start Friday, his second in the majors.
Giants: OF Mike Yastrzemski did not play because of side soreness after colliding with the right-field wall Friday. He is not expected to be out long-term, manager Gabe Kapler said.
Pirates: 1B Colin Moran (groin) fielded ground balls hit directly at him for the first time Saturday, Shelton said. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Giants LHP Alex Wood (4-0, 1.80 ERA) will look to keep cruising as he faces Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (2-4, 7.81) on Sunday. Wood hasn't allowed more than two runs in five starts this season. Keller lasted 3 1/3 after getting tagged for seven runs his last time out against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

La psicofarmacologia és una disciplina científica que estudia l'efecte de fàrmacs amb especial atenció a les manifestacions cognitives, emocionals, motivacionals i conductuals. En aquest sentit, pot estar relacionada amb l'estudi o tractament farmacològic de la psicopatologia. Des de certes postures, explicar el mecanisme d'acció d'un psicofàrmac sobre la psicopatologia mitjançant explicacions basades en neurotransmissors no és, realment i en el seu sentit literal, una explicació. El cervell és de gran complexitat neuroquímica, on cada neurona es veu influïda per l'acció d'altres milers en porcions de temps realment curtes. Per exemple, se sap que els més moderns antidepressius (d'inhibició selectiva) triguen unes setmanes a fer efecte, tot i que no es coneix exactament mitjançant quin procés i per quina raó necessita exactament aquest temps. D'altra banda, que un trastorn estigui relacionat (correlació) amb alguna activitat excessiva electroquímica per part de l'amígdala del cervell no implica que hagin de fer servir necessàriament psicofàrmacs. Practicar esport o la psicoteràpia pot, de fet, contrarestar aquesta activitat electroquímica excessiva, en potenciar el control del còrtex sobre la resta d'estructures més primitives.

Shaping a wave is the most important part besides the foam pattern. The shaping of the wave sets the guide for the foam and makes it easier to layout your foam. So how do you shape a wave? When shaping a wave you want to use 3 different color tones. This giving it movement. Have you ever been to the beach and seen the sun playing on the water? If you have you can see multiple colors and that's how you can see all the movements in the water. So when we are trying to make a wave or ocean water realistic we need to use multiple colors to make the water move. Take a look at the clip. Brandon shows you have to shape a wave to get the water moving and ready to layout the foam. He also uses his filbert brush to paint the tones in the same direction he wants the water to move in and the same way he will paint in the foam.

Q: Process Builder keeps failing I am trying to explore this feature.I am doing a simple step : which check if object A is created or edited, it should insert reecords of change into Object B.
But i keep getting the below error: Problem is fields used is of same data type as Object A..and if not then thats a Text field to insert on. What would be your advice on this issue?

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first
  error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION, The record couldn't be saved because it

A: Here the issue was when you map the look up fields which were coming through quite an indirect relation-the process builder kept failing to map even if the datatype matched. Had to sort this by using a formula field-that holds the value from that relation. Then use this formula field in the mapping as an alternative.

A: Thanks to @user10727. I just thought I'd clarify or at least post my scenario. I was trying to access a field on product via opportunitylineitem:
opportunitylineitem.product2.my_field__c

I was able to get this to work by going through the pricebookentry
opportunitylineitem.pricebookentry2.product2

A: Create a field in the object getting the value of

test.isRunningTest()

's value to that field using "trigger.insert".
use that field value in your process builder criteria to trigger only if record is not created in test class.
We can call it 'process builder switch framework'

Punch Drunk Preview: UFC 115
Heavy on UFC
By	E. Spencer Kyte
Updated Jun 10, 2010 at 6:15am
Short on lots of big name stars, the UFC's first foray into British Columbia offers a card big on intrigue. With a couple matches designed to separate contenders from pretenders, and a main event that will tell us where a pair of iconic former champions stand, UFC 115 should end up more entertaining and eventful than the mild-mannered match-ups suggest.
Mike Pyle (18-7-1) vs. Jesse Lennox (11-2-0)
The first fight of the night is the traditional "Loser Leaves Town" tilt. Pyle was beaten by rising talent Jake Ellenberger last time out and is 1-2 in the UFC, while Lennox is batting .500 through two fights, having dropped a decision to Rick Story in his most recent trip to the Octagon.
Pyle has the edge in experience and has the benefit of working every day with a tremendous group at Xtreme Couture. But it's been that way for some time, and he still hasn't delivered an eye-opening performance. Neither has Lennox, and chances are neither will in this one either.
Claude Patrick (11-1-0) vs. Ricardo Funch (7-1-0)
One of three Canadians competing in Vancouver, Patrick makes his organizational debut riding a ten-fight winning streak. His lone loss came to Drew McFedries way back in June 2002. That said, it's not like he's been beating studs since then. Patrick has beaten a collection of regional mid-card opponents, and he won't be getting any of those in the UFC.
Unbeaten when he made his Octagon debut, Funch dropped a unanimous decision to Johny Hendricks at UFC 107. Now that the first fight jitters are out of the way, perhaps the Team Link trainee will show what had some people picking upset back at UFC 107.
If not,he's done.
James Wilks (6-3-0) vs. Peter Sobotta (8-2-0)
One of the winners from Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter, Wilks was thrown to the fire in his post-TUF debut. Matt Brown proved to be too much, though Wilks did have his moments in the match-up. This time around, we're on the opposite end of the spectrum, as he looks like he's being given a sacrificial lamb named Peter Sobotta.
The German fighter isn't a human punching bag, but he's not a world-beater either. In his one UFC appearance to date, he went to the cards with Paul Taylor and lost. Taylor has subsequently shit the bed in trying to make the move to lightweight. That should tell you all you need to know about this one.
David Loiseau (19-9-0) vs. Mario Miranda (9-1-0)
I know I'm supposed to remain impartial, but dammit I want good things for David Loiseau. He's a pioneer of this sport in Canada – insofar as he was one of the first real Canadian stars – and was dicked around by the Quebec Commission before UFC 113. This might be another "Hey, we're in Canada. Let's get another Canadian on the card" situation, but even if it is, I want it to be a winning one for Loiseau.
Mario Miranda is the guy who can ruin all that. I'll be very displeased if he does.

September Auction
September 04 - 06, 2007
Morphy Auctions' Fall sale exceeds $1.6 million; rare vending machine dispenses $43,700 payday
DENVER, Pa. – Morphy Auctions chalked up another outstanding sale result Sept. 5-8 at its recently expanded gallery as a diverse array of fine and decorative art, antique advertising, toys and black Americana shot past the $1.6 million mark. An extraordinary vending machine with wide-ranging appeal to collectors of antique advertising, coin-ops, candy-related items and black memorabilia walked away with top-lot honors at $43,700 (all prices include 15 percent buyer's premium). With a total height of 68 inches, the German-made figural dispenser featured an unusual action – upon the deposit of a coin, the top-hatted gentleman on the front of the machine would "dance" and roll his eyes from side to side as a sweet was dispensed. One of very few extant examples, the coveted vending machine came with its original key and supply of usable coins.
Several of the best-performing items in the sale came from a single, long-held black Americana collection. Heavily previewed, a candy container comprised of a figure of a black man, smoking a cigar and riding a harnessed pig with removable head, well exceeded its presale estimate to bring $8,050. Other categories whose black-themed entries drew high interest included cast-iron doorstops – with a little boy sitting on a basket trampling its $2,000-3,000 estimate to settle at $8,600 – and tinplate windup toys. A boxed Lehmann Mixtum variation, with black clown driver in a cart, put the pedal to the metal to fall just $10 shy of its high estimate, at $6,900. Also, a rare German push-along toy of a top-hatted black "dandy," accompanied by its colorful original box, went the extra mile to secure a winning bid of $3,450.
The benefit of crossover interest continued its run as the only known example of an 1897 McLoughlin Brothers Parlor Base Ball game took the podium. Featuring incredible coloration and a classic image of a batter and catcher in late-19th-century baseball attire on its box lid, the game was a "hit" with bidders, earning $13,800 against an estimate of $7,000-$10,000.
Strong prices were paid in all areas of antique advertising. A 1930s reverse-painted, cardboard-backed glass sign with a glitter effect, advertising ice-cold 5-cent Coca-Cola, sailed past its $5,000-$8,000 estimate to realize $15,000. Both a round porcelain sign for Red Rooster Fruit & Produce and a large (16½ inch long) Dr. Pepper lithographed-tin serving tray from around 1900-1905 earned an individual selling price of $8,600. And a Red Indian Stogies cigar/tobacco tin emblazoned on both sides with a colorful image of an Indian chief with headdress and necklace well outdistanced its estimate to knock down $6,900.
Within the fine art grouping, a signed Guy Carleton Wiggins (American, 1883-1962) oil-on-canvas depiction of a snowy scene at Fifth Avenue and Second Street in New York fared best. The attractive Impressionist work featuring weather-challenged pedestrians with umbrellas, vehicles of various types, and two American Flags achieved $23,000 against an estimate of $10,000-$15,000.
Other noteworthy results from the 2,659-lot sale included a Good Humor Ice Cream sign picturing a chocolate-covered confection with a bite taken out of it, $6,000; a Red and Blue Crushed Plug brand tobacco pocket tin, $6,325; and an 1880s German Father Christmas candy container swaddled in a white mohair robe and holding a feather tree and cornucopia, $7,320.
Morphy Auctions, a division of Steve Geppi's Diamond International Galleries, will conduct the one-day, single-owner sale of the Stephen and Marilyn Steckbeck mechanical bank collection on Oct. 27. The company's Winter 2007 auction will take place Dec. 6-8. Additional details regarding these sales may be viewed online at www.morphyauctions.com. Questions: call 717-335-3435 or e-mail morphy@morphyauctions.com.

*In 3Q17, the global optical networking market declined 13% sequentially and 2% versus 3Q16.
*In 3Q17, the EMEA optical networking market declined 21% sequentially and 17% versus 3Q16. The Asia-Pacific market declined 21% sequentially and grew 9% versus 3Q16.
BOSTON – December 1, 2017 – Recent results and concerns regarding EMEA spending trends outlined in Cignal AI's third quarter Optical Hardware Report have led the market research firm to cut 2018 forecasts for the region. On a more positive note, the report illustrated spending gains for metro WDM equipment in North America, with Cisco and Ciena benefiting from healthy year-over-year growth. The report also noted that coherent 100G+ port shipments exceeded 100,000 units globally for the first time this quarter – a remarkable milestone for the technology.
-EMEA revenue sinks, forecast lowered for 2017-2018 – In Q3, EMEA revenue dropped almost 20 percent year-over-year. Huawei experienced a very sharp decline in the region and provided negative guidance. Cignal AI reduced its forecast for EMEA for this year and 2018, based on weak spending trends among tier-1 customers.
-Chinese revenue growth stalled in 3Q17, but overall spending growth for 2017 is still expected to be strong. However, Cignal AI cut its 2018 forecast for China based on ongoing uncertainty tied to regional spending.
-Spending in the rest of the Asia Pacific (ROAPAC) remained elevated. Following a big leap in the second and third quarters of 2017, Cignal AI marked down the 2018 forecast in this region, predicting current spending levels will subside.
-Central and Latin America spending continued to decline as large carriers in Brazil and Mexico cut back on capex. Based on conversations with vendors, Cignal AI expects this decline to resolve itself and a recovery to begin in 2018.

Administration of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury exacerbates anxiety-like symptomology in a rat model
Glenn R. Yamakawa, Eric Eyolfson, Himanthri Weerawardhena, Richelle Mychasiuk
Department of Neuroscience
Approximately 10–15 % of people that sustain mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) develop post-concussive syndrome (PCS). PCS is a complex array of symptoms that can result in physical, cognitive and emotional impairments. Following mTBI, there are also complex changes in the oxidative stress system and engagement of the inflammatory system, within the brain. Diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 is an organoselenium compound which can play a role in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. (PhSe)2 also has many interesting properties including anti-anxiety, anti-depressant and anti-nociception effects. We sought to determine if treatment with (PhSe)2 following repetitive mTBI could have mitigating effects on PCS. To investigate this, we induced mTBI or sham injuries using our lateral impact device in adolescent male and female Sprague Dawley rats and an hour later injected rats with vehicle, 10 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg (PhSe)2 i.p. Next, we conducted a behavioral assessment designed to assess PCS and then euthanized the animals to examine changes in gene expression and telomere length. (PhSe)2 decreased the time to cross the beam, distance travelled and time spent in the centre of the open field, time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze, the time investigating both objects in the novel context mismatch and time immobile in the forced swim. This anxiety-like symptomology resolved spontaneously between 10 and 12 days after the third mTBI. We found (PhSe)2 groups showed increased levels of TNF alpha and longer telomeres. We also found higher levels of GPX1 in the injured animals. Our results show that (PhSe)2 exacerbates anxiety-like symptomology in contrast to previous findings.

Question and answer about Catholic Nuns and their life.
Who's a Catholic nun
History of Catholic Nuns
What are the duties of a nun
Process of becoming a Catholic Nun
Can Catholic Nuns marry
Can Catholic Nuns socialize with people
Can Catholic Nuns Participate in Politics
Can Catholic Nuns give birth
Are Catholic nuns paid salary
A nun is a woman who has taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and lives a life dedicated to serving God and the Church. She is a member of a religious order or community of women, and typically lives a contemplative life of prayer and service. Nuns may also be known as sisters or religious sisters. Some orders of nuns are more contemplative in nature and focus on prayer and solitude, while others are more active and engage in a wide range of charitable and outreach activities. In the Catholic Church, nuns play an important role in providing spiritual guidance and care to those in need, and their work is considered an essential part of the Church's mission.
The history of Catholic nuns dates back to the early days of the Church, when women who felt called to dedicate their lives to God and service to others began to form religious communities. These women, known as "religious sisters" or "nuns," lived together in monasteries or convents and followed a set of rules and regulations known as the "Rule of St. Benedict." Over time, many different orders of nuns emerged, each with their own unique customs and traditions.
Throughout history, Catholic nuns have played a crucial role in the Church and in society. They have been known for their charitable works, education and healthcare services, and spiritual guidance. They have also faced challenges and persecution, particularly during times of political and religious upheaval. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Catholic nuns worldwide, serving in a wide variety of roles and ministries.
The duties of a nun in the Catholic Church vary depending on the particular order or religious community to which she belongs. In general, however, a nun is a woman who has taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and lives a life dedicated to serving God and the Church. This typically involves prayer and contemplative work, such as caring for the sick, educating children, or providing spiritual guidance to others. Some orders of nuns are more contemplative in nature and focus more on prayer and solitude, while others are more active and engage in a wider range of charitable and outreach activities. Ultimately, the specific duties of a nun are determined by her religious community and the needs of the Church.
To become a nun in the Catholic Church, a woman must first feel a calling to dedicate her life to God and service to others. She must also be at least 18 years old and in good physical and mental health.
The process of becoming a nun typically begins with a period of discernment, during which the woman spends time learning about the different orders of nuns and their specific charisms and traditions. She may also meet with a spiritual director or mentor to discuss her calling and discern her path.
Once the woman has decided on a particular religious order, she will typically begin a period of formation, which can last anywhere from several months to several years. This period may include prayer, study, and other spiritual practices, as well as practical training in areas such as healthcare, education, or social work.
After completing her formation, the woman will take her final vows, pledging herself to a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. She will then be ordained as a nun and begin serving in her chosen religious community. The exact steps and requirements for becoming a nun may vary depending on the religious order and the individual's circumstances.
No, a nun in the Catholic Church is a woman who has taken vows of chastity and is therefore not allowed to marry. When a woman becomes a nun, she makes a commitment to remain celibate and to dedicate her life to serving God and the Church. This commitment is considered a vow, and it is taken very seriously by the Catholic Church. While it is possible for a nun to leave her religious order and return to secular life, she is not allowed to marry once she has taken her vows.
Yes, Catholic nuns are allowed to socialize with people as part of their duties to serve and help others in their community. However, they are expected to maintain a certain level of discretion and modesty in their interactions, and may have specific guidelines or restrictions depending on their religious order or community.
In general, Catholic nuns are not allowed to engage in political activities or hold political office. The Catholic Church encourages its members to be politically active and engage with the world around them, but it emphasizes the importance of spiritual and religious pursuits over political ones. Nuns are expected to focus on their religious vocation and serve the community in ways that align with their religious beliefs and values.
No, Catholic nuns are not allowed to give birth or have children. As part of their vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, nuns must commit to remaining celibate and abstaining from sexual activity. Therefore, they are unable to conceive or carry a child to term. Some religious orders may allow nuns to adopt children or care for orphaned or abandoned children, but they are not permitted to give birth themselves.
In general, Catholic nuns are not paid for their religious service. As part of their vows of poverty, they renounce the ownership of personal possessions and financial assets. Many orders of nuns support themselves through charitable donations or the sale of goods and services, such as education or healthcare. However, the nuns themselves do not receive a salary or wages for their work. Some religious orders may provide a small allowance or stipend to cover basic expenses, but this is not considered payment for their service.
