Why Teaming Up to Support the European Data Strategy Is a Must
Jaana Sinipuro
Jaana Sinipuro is the Project Director at Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund.
About Team Data Spaces
Team Data Spaces is a coalition of leading European players with experience in standardizing, creating and operationalizing data sharing.
In 2018, we at Sitra launched a project with a mission to create an inspiring vision for a human-driven data economy in Finland and the rest of Europe. Sitra's fair data economy promotion project IHAN® was launched in spring 2018, around the same time as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation entered into force.
In February 2020, the European Commission published an ambitious data strategy that defined the steps towards a European internal data market. It described how the establishment of the common data market requires a combination of new kinds of regulation, the organizations' self-regulation and standards in the EU internal market, as well as cooperation and coordination across sectoral boundaries. The goal is also supported by the digital targets for 2030 published by the European Commission in 2021.
Sitra's publication "35 Proposals to make the European data strategy work" suggests concrete actions for the European Commission, the Member States, and any data sharing initiative, in research or industry.
Looking back to those proposals I am surprised about the progress and numerous initiatives sharing the same ultimate goal – building an alternative for current data economy models. The future is a team effort. When we share a common goal, it becomes easier for each of us to find our own pivotal position in the team. In this team, government and officials have their roles to play, researchers and companies play their own and even the team's staff and supporters have an important contribution to make. Every act and every decision takes us to the future. In the making of future, the best result is achieved when the right people and organizations find each other and make renewal possible.
While Team Data Spaces is a coalition aimed at creating a community of practice and drafting the roadmap for pan-European soft infrastructure and data spaces, the Data Sovereignty Now movement is essential in sense-making and awareness-building of an abstract topic like the data economy. Creating a joint vision, not to speak about the implementation of the vision itself, calls for common concepts and terminology like data sovereignty.
Over the last three years, the operating environment has changed enormously. Europe has risen to defend its position in the data economy, and the objective of building a fair data economy has gradually become a joint European project. Many parties around Europe are joining forces to build regulation-based technical and procedural solutions to promote the responsible use of data. If we truly want to challenge the dominant models of state- or company-driven data economies, we need to ensure human-centricity in our design, therefore I personally see as essential the active role of MyDataGlobal (link https://mydata.org/) in molding the future model for the fair and human-centric data economy.
A European data economy is built through constant interaction among decision-makers, companies and civil society. However, it requires actions and activity from many different parties. Decision-making should not only support but also demand changes in companies' operating methods and models. Companies need to be active in integrating the responsible use of data as a prominent part of their strategy and operations. Consumers' understanding of this topic should be improved. In addition, consumers and civil society must apply pressure to those using their data and demand a more responsible data-use culture that better takes the individual's rights into account.
Entrepreneur and futurologist Peter Diamandis stated that the rate of innovation is such that 'In the next 10 years, we'll reinvent every industry' Technological progress is so fast that the field experts and decision-makers need to be in close and continuous dialogue to master the future. It is time to take our future into our hands and in doing so, rely on collaboration.

Safflower oil contains healthy fats.
It is a healthy option for diabetics.
You can cook anything you want in safflower oil.
There are very few edible oils available in the market that can be deemed to be fit for health. One such oil that has recently emerged in the stores is safflower oil. Extracted from the seeds of safflowers, which are similar to sunflowers, this oil contains healthy fats and can also help in preventing cardiovascular diseases. There are many more benefits of the wonder oil. Here are some of them listed for you.
Monosaturated fats, which can protect against heart diseases, can be found in abundance in safflower oil. Unlike most fats found in dairy and meat, which are known to spike cholesterol levels, monostaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol level in body.
Safflower oil is rich in vitamin E, and each tablespoonful of it provides 4.6 milligrams of the essential nutrient. Vitamin E is a necessary antioxidant that helps cells from free-radical damage caused by sun exposure, cigarette-smoking and pollutants.
As published in a study in Clinical Nutrition, safflower oil can be a healthy choice for diabetics for managing blood sugar levels. In a research, diabetic women were given 8 grams of safflower oil every day for 16 weeks. The researchers tested them for blood glucose, signs of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. At the end, it was noticed that the glucose and inflammation levels had reduced and insulin sensitivity had increased. This indicated that safflower oil could be helpful in keeping diabetes symptoms under control.
Safflower oil can be used in any recipe that needs oil. From salad dressings to marinades, safflower oil adds flavour to the food. The refined form of oil has a high smoke point, which means you can heat it to high temperature before it burns. This implies that you can use safflower oil for sautéing or frying too.

GUILD-UP!
Studio Excultura (with Sasha Topolnytska, Geoffrey Salvatore)
Young Architects Competitions' Space to Culture
Bologna, IT
Guild-UP! is a proposal to rethink the former factory as an incubator for modern guilds – collectives of young individuals coming together to create productive organizations for the city's future. Learning from Bologna's rich history of merchant guilds and the formation of the modern university as a communal living and working experience, this project re-engages these historical traditions in the context of a contemporary society.
Medieval Bologna was a cultural epicenter of guilds – associations of trade or craftsmen – which gave rise to the university as an institution of collective innovation and direct community relevance. Today, the targeted users of this facility are the would-be culture-makers - the millennial generation facing uncertain futures amidst an era of economic depression, lost tradition, cultural shifts, and globalized industry.
This project recognizes that the production of goods has been separated from its former cultural value, and constructs its answer to this within the shell of a former industrial building in a location with a rich history of learning and making. The former factory embodies this separation between production and culture.
Our goal is to curate a spatial environment to promote the creation of future guilds as permanent social, educational, cultural, and commercial institutions for the local and global community. User-collectives form, develop, and grow into new during their residence in the building. As a live/work/make facility, it is their collective house, school, workshop and platform for demonstration of their future organization. The building is composed of 4 components: the Live/Work, the Kitchen, the Shed, and the Archive.

The Moon's atmosphere doesn't contain enough oxygen for human life, but under the planet's rocky top layer, there's enough of the gas to sustain eight billion human lives for 100,000 years, according to a prominent scientist.
In a piece penned this week in The Conversation, John Grant, a lecturer in soil science at Australia's Southern Cross University explained that the Moon was heavy in minerals that bind tightly with oxygen.
SpaceX's Crew-3 mission lifts off for International Space Station
Grant claims that, even if one ignores the oxygen tied up in deep, hard rock, the Moon's regolith – the rocky top layer – which is easily accessible, could hold enough oxygen for eight million people to live for 100,000 years.
The scientist's calculation is based on the notion that humans need 800g (28oz) of oxygen a day to survive, and the regolith is some 10m (33ft) deep. He states that the Moon's regolith is made up of 45% oxygen, all of which is tightly bound to minerals such as silica, aluminium, and iron and magnesium oxides.
Unfortunately, though rocks are not breathable, the process of extracting the vast quantities of oxygen from them is a straightforward process. "But there is a catch: it's very energy-hungry. To be sustainable, it would need to be supported by solar energy or other energy sources available on the Moon," Grant notes.
Grant's article comes after the Australian Space Agency and NASA signed a deal in October to send a rover to the Moon with the objective of collecting lunar rocks and attempting to extract breathable oxygen from them.
The scientist also noted the development of experimental reactors to improve the process of making oxygen via electrolysis by a Belgian start-up. The new technology could be sent to the Moon by 2025 as part of the European Space Agency's in-situ resource utilisation mission.

If you are a progressive, if you are a moderate, you have a wide range of local and national media outlets that present empirical evidence and provide skilled analysis. The Washington Post may now be the flagship publication because it has almost unlimited resources thanks to the ownership of Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame.
But obviously the New York Times, the Boston Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle and a host of other newspapers and magazines are constantly providing credible journalism. When it comes to electronic media, there is PBS, NPR as well as CNN, MSNBC and CBS. Then there are the exclusively on-line newspapers such as the Huffington Post.
If you're a Roy Moore supporter in Alabama, a follower of Steve Bannon and Breitbart, a member of the Tea Party, you have to feel that you are consistently being piled on by this national media.
Yes, this credible media makes mistakes, witness the writings of Judith Miller of the New York Times on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but by and large they apply the type of thinking reflective of the Enlightenment that has been a cornerstone of America democracy throughout its history.
It's possible that if the Founding Fathers were still amongst us, one of their biggest disappointments would be the disdain that so many Americans have for using empirical evidence as the basis of reaching conclusions. Part of the dissonance between the Founding Fathers and those currently on the right wing is that the Fathers tended to be skeptical of literal interpretation of the Bible. To many on the right, a literal interpretation of the Bible (when convenient) provides a respite from the challenges of rational thinking.
If there are few in the land of Roy Moore who want to, or are capable of, providing rational analysis of contemporary events, then the people are truly at a loss. If it is more important to the people to believe that they are a persecuted minority, then what they might read in the Washington Post, etc. just further reinforces their notion of being the little people who are kicked around.
What is interesting and equally sad is that many other minorities seem to be able to cut through the B.S., correctly identify their oppressors, and develop strategies to improve their situations. The civil right movement was based on a commitment to the values delineated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. There was a minimal amount of "poor me" and a great deal more emphasis on self-improvement and building bridges with one-time and even current oppressors.
Irony of ironies may be that white Southerners who historically have berated and discriminated against African-Americans now see a landscape in which more and more African-Americans are reaching the American dream and thriving in an information society. At the same time, so many on the right, particularly those who are white, just seem flummoxed by the way the world operates. Their frustration leads to resentment towards the main branches of this information society including such credible media points as the Washington Post.
As upsetting as it can be to have one of our fifty states seriously considering sending the likes of Roy Moore to represent them in the United States Senate, it is also saddening. It is even understandable that those who are so left behind modern society would rather fight for non-separation of church and state, fight to protect a likely sexual abuser, fight for someone who seems incapable of trying to advance the economic and human rights interests of the people of Alabama, than to see Roy Moore as he is and cast him aside for someone more modern.
Reconstruction has had its successes, look at Atlanta. But there is still so far to go.

Ivy Farm unveils the largest cultivated meat pilot plant in Europe
Posted: 26 August 2022 | Bethan Grylls (New Food) | No comments yet
The pilot plant, which is a first of its kind in the UK, marks a significant step forward in the company's ambitions to make affordable, sustainable and "guilt-free" cultivated meat a reality.
Ivy Farm, a company focused on producing lab grown pork products, has officially opened its new cultivated meat pilot production plant.
The opening of the UK pilot plant is the next phase in the advancement of Ivy Farm's technology as it looks to boost its R&D capabilities, with the aim of reducing costs, scaling up production and making cultivated meat accessible to consumers on a global scale in the near future.
The 18,000ft2 facility which houses the new plant is located close to the Oxford University Engineering Department where the company was initially spun-out. Inside, you'll find a terminal 600L bioreactor which will allow the production of more than 6,000lbs of cultivated meat per year.
As part of the expansion, Ivy Farm has also completed the construction of its new offices, which can accommodate its 50-strong team of experts, while a new innovation kitchen will allow its in-house food scientists and development chefs to cook and experiment with the company's mincemeat products.
Other key features of the new plant have been designed with sustainability and self-sufficiency in mind, including the use of recyclable materials such as the building's cladding; solar panel arrays with the aim of generating a large proportion of energy used by the plant on site; and electric vehicle chargers for staff.
Commenting on the new site, Ivy Farm CEO Rich Dillon said: "Making real meat in a new and more sustainable way has never been done at real scale and so the completion of the pilot plant, R&D facility, new office and innovation kitchen represents a really exciting milestone on our growth journey as a company. By building Europe's largest pilot plant and by expanding our R&D facilities, we have taken a huge step towards our mission of producing guilt-free, real meat that's good for the planet, people and animals."
Ivy Farm is confident that cultured meat is a key cog in driving planetary change. In fact, according to a report by CE Delft, cultivated meat would reduce carbon emissions by up to 92 percent and reduce land use by as much as 95 percent when compared to traditional agricultural methods.
A recent report by Oxford Economics also projects that the industry could add £2.1 billion to the UK economy and create more than 16,500 jobs, including 8,300 skilled roles, by 2030.

Public security organisations such as the police, safety regions and control rooms are challenged with having to execute their tasks in a society that is becoming more complex. A better information position and information-driven operations are created under the denominator 'Real Time Intelligence'. "The RTI lab is a learning- and experimenting programme to develop new knowledge in this area and show the added value of new products, services or concepts," says Mark Ruijsendaal, Innovation Liaison at HSD Office.
"Intelligence provides the police with insights in security issues and possible approaches to solve them," says Jan ter Mors, Programme director Intelligence of the police. "It is becoming more important for intelligence to be based upon the most recent information and that it is directly applicable during operations, so real-time intelligence." 'Real time" means that up-to-date information is available without any delay. By enriching the data with other sources and knowledge, 'intelligence' is established. Real Time Intelligence allows the police to take the right decisions fast and to handle different situations adequately.
RTI combines relevant knowledge and information from different systems when this is necessary. Conclusions based upon that information lead to swift actions. "We are not that far yet, but in the Real Time Intelligence Lab we bring this kind of innovative solutions closer," states Christiaan van den Berg, Programme Manager Secure Society at TNO. The RTI-lab was founded by TNO in cooperation with the police and the national security cluster HSD. Companies, knowledge institutions such as TNO and governmental institutions such as the police test hardware, software, artificial intelligence, methods, models, ways of operating and combinations thereof in this learning- and experimenting environment. HSD Office supports triple helix-cooperation by bringing parties together, guide cooperation processes, get a clear vision on supply and demand, organising (pre-)competitive dialogues and pilots, living labs and guiding other experiments.
Dynamic Protocol
In previous years, several experiments were executed. For example: a Trend Radar was developed to show the top-32 of trends that are relevant for RTI in the upcoming years. Other experiments are, for example, targeted at the prediction of crime and the use of 'touch tables' with real time information. The project 'Dynamic Protocol' started in 2018. This is an innovative information tool that supports the coordination of complex scenarios, such as large-scale incidents or the security of events. The Dynamic Protocol visualises the current situation: how crowded are certain places, how is the flow of traffic, what is the state of public transport?
Next to that the users get a list of possible actions, which also allow for scenario outcomes to be calculated and visualised. For instance, how an evacuation could go in the case of a concrete threat or the closing of important roads. A prototype was tested during the Volvo Ocean Race Finish 2018 in The Hague. The advantage of a dynamic protocol is recognised by all parties involved. One check is all it takes for all risks to be visible and how they score in terms of likelihood and impact. Possible interventions and their effect are directly shown as well. The prototype was improved based on the evaluation and tested during another big event (the arrival of Sinterklaas). The Dynamic Protocol is a cooperation project of the police, TNO and HSD-partner Tensing Safety and Security, specialist in geo-information and GIS-technology.

Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith was born in London, England and died in Toronto, Ontario. His earliest training was under his artist father. He then attended the South Kensington School of Art under Alexander Hamilton until his family emigrated to Montreal, Quebec in 1867. Subsequently, he studied in Paris at the Academie Colarossi under Joseph-Paul Blanc, Gustave Courtois, and Edmond-Louis Dupain. The artist arrived in London, Ontario in 1881 where he was appointed Art Director of Alma College (St. Thomas) and the following year, Drawing Master at Central Public School. In 1888, he moved to Toronto where he was named principal of the western branch of the Toronto Art School. He continued to serve at Alma College until 1901.
Bell-Smith was a founding member of the Society of Canadian Artists, the Ontario Society of Artists, and the Western Art League. He was elected an Academician in the Royal Canadian Academy and played important roles in many local and national artistic associations.
His works were very popular in his lifetime. He painted portrait, genre, and landscape subjects in both oil and watercolor in the impressionistic, picturesque, and sublime styles of the 19th century. Bell-Smith also won many international honors in his career.
His known White Mountain paintings are titled Woods, North Conway (1883); White Mountains at Sunset (1886); and Crawford Notch from Mount Willard (1895).

Home Chicago Parent Archives New premiere: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally
New premiere: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally
by Maria Pilar Clark
Fasten your seatbelts - a new primetime special from Disney - "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally" - will air on Sept 7 from 7-7:30 p.m. ET/PT on the Disney Channel.
In the music-filled, family-viewing event of the Emmy-nominated series, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto, along with Clubhouse pals Toodles (who in a surprising new move by Disney, now has a face and talks), Pete, Clarabelle Cow, and Chip and Dale embark on the first annual Clubhouse road rally. Each friend chooses their favorite mode of transportation (think trains, cars, scooters, skates, and more), and Goofy even gets the chance to ride in Professor Von Drake's latest invention, the Clubhouse Rescue Truck.
Once the race kicks into high gear, the gang goes on a journey through sandy desserts, snow-covered mountains and tropical jungles in search of clues. As the rally goes on, Toodles feels unappreciated when the Rescue Truck gets all the praise for helping out, and he decides leaves the group just when they need him most. It's up to Mickey and pals to reunite the team and make it to the finish line.
The special features five new songs performed by the sensational six themselves, and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally" will also be available for purchase on DVD from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment the same day of premiere.
The DVD will also feature a never-before-seen bonus episode, "Pluto Lends a Paw."
Families can start their engines and whet their appetites at PlayhouseDisney.com/Mickey where a healthy, themed menu of tasty treats (think: MickeyPark Cheese and Fruit Plate, Road Rally Race Flags, Pete's Sandy Sandwiches, Pluto's Veggie Skateboards, Toodle's Mini-Pizza O's and more) can be downloaded.

Elite LAPD officers investigated over falsified records
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Members of an elite police crime suppression team are under investigation over allegations that they falsified records and listed some innocent people as gang members, the Los Angeles police said Monday. Ten officers have been assigned to home while others were taken off patrol, Police Chief Michel Moore told KNX-AM news radio. "What would motivate them?" Moore said. "That is something that we're looking at very intensely." The months-long investigation began in early 2019 when a mother in the San Fernando Valley was notified that her son had been identified as a gang member, according to a Police Department statement.

Greek mythology revisited
Mia Czarnecki, Crimson Review staff|January 10, 2023
Mia Czarnecki
Mia Czarnecki and Courtney Renaud, both avid fans of Greek mythology, played "Odysseus and the Sirens" by Dana Wilson, which is based on Homer's 'Odyssey', Book XII.
It's about time that media companies such as Disney and Netflix revisit the old, forgotten tales of Greek mythology and develop new movies and programs.
Percy Jackson, Hercules and Alexander are based on Greek mythology, but all of those hit movies are at least ten years old.
Some new portrayal of these timeless tales are coming very soon.
Joe Russo, known for his collaborations with his brother Anthony Russo (ex. Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame), has a live action remake of Hercules in the works.
He recently told James Russell, a reporter for GamesRadar+, that he loves "how funny and subversive" the 1997 animated film is and hopes to "embrace that sense of humor" in the upcoming reimagining.
A release date hasn't yet been set, but fans can expect more detail soon.
Mythology fans can also anticipate a new TV series from Netflix, which began filming Kaos in May of 2022.
Planned to be a series of eight episodes, Kaos is described as a "darkly funny, contemporary spin on Greek mythology."
A page on Netflix's site allows you to set a reminder when the series is released, promising, "This genre-bending series puts a modern twist on Greek and Roman mythology, exploring themes of gender politics, power and life in the underworld."
It has been inferred by fans that the series is to be released in mid to late 2023 depending on when filming wraps, how long the episodes are, and how much time it will take for post-production.

McRae Footwear is a leader for work, duty, and military footwear since 1967. The McRae McRae 4189 Hot Weather Desert Tan Combat Boot was issued to U.S troops during operation Desert Storm. This boot was designed for hot weather desert climates and meets all military specifications and standards. It features a lightweight tan suede and Cordura upper, speed laces for troops on the go, and a padded collar for comfort. The sole pattern is the same as the ever popular Panama sole introduced on the Vietnam jungle boot. Side air vents located on the instep of each boot promote airflow and cooling so you can focus on the mission. This boot is made in the USA and approved for the Army Combat Uniform.
the sole is thin on these boots but they are jungle boots that were designed for the tropical vietnam jungle. theres a reason these boots have kept the same design for over 30 years. theyre simple boots but designed to do what a jungle boot does which is keep your feet cool and be lightweight. A lot of the newer boots are made of foam and plastic which insulates your feet. if youre looking to keep your feet cool get these.
Not much padding on these. These make my feet hurt.

Episode 6 – Cultural Differences in Airline Training, Experience and Decision-Making
October 16, 2019 /in Episodes /by FSD
Pilot training and confidence is everything when it comes to safety in the air according to this week's guest, Captain Chinar Shah. She's a professional pilot, flying for more than 19 years,13 as a pilot in the airline ranks including a number of months in the Boeing 737 Max.
Shah used to fly for Jet Airways in India. She converted her license in the U.S. with the FAA and she has seen all sides of training in the United States and worldwide.
In this week's episode, Shah and the Flight Safety Detectives talk about the training, confidence, knowledge, steel nerves and experience it takes to be the best of the best. According to Shah, pilots need to know what "The Normal" is in the air so when there is an extraordinary dangerous situation, the pilot knows immediately what is wrong and how to correct it.
She says, "The concern here is the reaction to the malfunction, rather than the malfunction itself….You can't have a complete power outage, for example, with only three minutes to land and not know what to do."
The culture of a country, the training and the airline may play a part in the way pilots react. Will a relatively new first officer with only 1,500 hours in the air comment on and help correct a mistake made in the cockpit by an experienced captain with more than 20,000 hours? She says, "There are times when I've seen people be completely submissive."
Shah has a deep respect for all of the professionals who inspect, repair and approve an aircraft before it takes to the air. She says, "I've always had great rapport with engineers and mechanics and they always teach you a thing or two about the airplane. Sure, it's always the PIC (Pilot in Charge) who says whether the plane goes but it's a collective decision."
Shah started her flying in general aviation in India. She says that introduced her to a system she says might inhibit the growth of decision making skills because it is so restrictive. "[Overseas] they are very reluctant to let you go solo…In my opinion, that does hamper your growth as a pilot – your decision making. In many parts of the world, you have someone telling you 'do this, do that.'"

I received compensation for this post, however all opinions are mine alone.
My favorite breakfast cereal is Honey Bunches of Oats; I like that it's sweet but not too sweet, and kinda crunchy. I had never considered using it for baking or cooking until someone asked for a pie, and I had nothing to make a crust. I have used other cookies, crackers, and cereals to make cold-set pie crusts in the past, but not Honey Bunches of Oats. I decided I would give it a try, and see if it worked and how it tasted.
I used my standard measurements for dry ingredients for a deep dish pie crust to calculate how much Honey Bunches of Oats and butter to use. I've heard some people mix sugar into this type of pie crust, but I think the cereal is sweet enough.
Finely grind cereal in food processor.
Mix in butter until well combined.
Press into deep dish pie crust.
I would consider flavors that complement the taste of honey when filling this Honey Bunches of Oats pie crust. It would be good for a simple quickset cheesecake or a strawberry gelatin pie.
Honey Bunches of Oats has a website with other recipe ideas; they have a wide selection of recipes ranging from very simple such as cobblers to fancier crab cakes. After I made this pie crust, I realized that Honey Bunches of Oats would make a delicious breaded chicken or homemade chicken nuggets.
You should head over to check out some of the creative recipes from Honey Bunches of Oats. Have you ever used Honey Bunches of Oats in a recipe?

Q: re Matching { and {{ For reasons beyond the scope here, I'm building a simple bibtex parser. Some bibtex fields are delimited by a single curly brace, while others are delimited by double curly braces. Curly braces are also valid content for the field.
I have a string that I know corresponds to a single field, in the formats:
fieldName1 = {{ content }},\n    -> content
fieldName2 = { content },\n      -> content
fieldName3 = { {[}content,] },\n -> {[}content,]

With this pattern I can recover the content:
re.compile(r"(?P<name>[\w-]+?)[\s]*=[\s]*({(?P<content>.*)})",    flags=re.IGNORECASE|re.DOTALL)

But it will contain { and } if that field uses double braces.

Is there an easier way to remove them than to test [0]=='{' and [-1]=='}'

A: Try the following regex:
(?P<name>[\w-]+?)\s*=\s*{(?:{| {\[})?\s*(?P<content>.*?)(?:,])?\s*}{1,2}

In my test it matches all 3 your samples.
For a working example (containing test of the regex above) see https://regex101.com/r/Gy8IWu/1
The above regex test site provides detailed explanations about particular
parts of the regex under test and what has been matched.
Edit
The regex matching all 3 variants, according to your comment, is:
(?P<name>[\w-]+?)\s*=\s*{{1,2}\s*(?P<content>(?:{\[})?.*?)\s*}{1,2}

See the updated example: https://regex101.com/r/Gy8IWu/2

Officers of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two pastors, identified as Chukwuka Stephen and Ejim Stephen, for allegedly killing their brother-in-law, in person of Peter Chukwuyem, in the Papa-Ibafo area of Ogun state.
In a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi on Thursday, the suspects, while living with Chukwuyem, were using the frontage of his house to conduct church services.
He mentioned that Chukwuka and Ejim became embittered when Chukwuyem stopped them from conducting church services in the frontage of his house, adding that when the victim went to the farm, the brothers allegedly waylaid and killed him.
Oyeyemi said, "Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two self-acclaimed pastors, Chuckwuka Stephen, 43, and Ejim Stephen, 39, for killing their brother in-law, Peter Chukwuyem, on Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
"The victim, who was married to the elder sister of the two suspects, brought them from their village in Delta State to Papa-Ibafo in Ogun State, where they lived with the couple for some time. While they were living with the deceased, they were using the frontage of his house for their church activities, but when their conduct was no longer pleasant to their brother-in-law, he sent them away from the place, which led to them nursing animosity against the deceased.
Oyeyemi said when it was getting late and the deceased was nowhere to be found, his wife traced him to the farm and found his corpse.
He stated that the police arrested the suspects after the daughters of the deceased informed them that they saw Chukwuka and Ejim on their father's farm in the morning. He added that during interrogation, the suspects owned up to the crime.
The PPRO said, "It was when the deceased didn't return on time that his wife traced him to the farm and found his dead body. She subsequently went to the Ibafo Police Station, where she lodged a complaint. The two brothers were later arrested by the police at Ibafo based on the accounts of the two daughters of the deceased, who informed the police that they saw the two suspects earlier on their father's farm.
"On interrogation, the suspects denied killing their brother-in-law, but when they were confronted by the two daughters of the deceased, they confessed to killing the deceased on his farm, because he deprived them the continuous use of his frontage for their church activities.
Oyeyemi also added that the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for proper investigation and prosecution.


Roger Waters has slammed Thom Yorke for ''whining'' about Radiohead's controversial Israel concert.
The 48-year-old singer and his band are due to perform in Tel Aviv on Wednesday (19.07.17), and after the planned concert attracted criticism due to Israel's oppression of Palestinians, former Pink Floyd rocker Roger has hit out at the star for complaining about ''feeling insulted''.
Roger - who was one of many musicians to sign an open letter urging the 'Creep' hitmakers to cancel the show - said during an hour-long Facebook Live chat: ''We should observe the picket line. Anybody who's tempted to do that, like our friends in Radiohead, if only they would actually educate themselves.
''I know Thom Yorke's been whining about how he feels insulted, people are suggesting he doesn't know what's going on.
The 73-year-old musician then claimed he had sent Thom a number of emails regarding the controversial show, which he said were ignored.
Recently, Thom insisted his band were in no way backing the country's controversial leader Benjamin Netanyahu by holding a concert there, and likened it to performing in the US without supporting President Donald Trump.
In response to tweets written by filmmaker Ken Loach regarding the planned performance, Thom wrote on Twitter: ''Playing in a country isn't the same as endorsing its government. We've played in Israel for over 20 years through a succession of governments, some more liberal than others.


What makes me happier than the best day of the week??
I scored some awesome pillows at lunch and now I have them on the brain.
They can easily update a room without breaking the bank and they are perfect for an indecisive girl like me. Since I can't afford to switch out big pieces of furniture, switching out pillows is my go-to.

Q: How to insert a tuple/list into a database using SQLITE3? I have several pieces of data collected from a form I want to enter into my database. However, one of those data pieces is a list created from how many checkboxes a user has pressed. When I try and insert this into a list I get the error "sqlite3.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 4 - probably unsupported type.". My code stops working at "cur.execute(sql, listing).
I've tried changing the type of data piece it is, but I need the tuple to stay as it is. I have tried to use cur.executemany but it didn't work.

title = request.form['item_name']

platform = request.form.getlist('platform_list[]')

con = create_connection(DATABASE_NAME)

listing = (title, platform)

sql = """INSERT INTO items(id, title, platform) VALUES (NULL,?,?);"""

cur = con.cursor()

cur.execute(sql, listing)

con.commit()

con.close()

A: Sqlite does not have a "list" datatype. Here are two options that may solve the problem:

*

*Transform the list to a string as with str = ",".join(platform)

*Transform the list to a JSON string as with json.dumps(platform)
It would depend on how the data will be used when it is SELECTed back.
If you want one row in the database per platform, you would use executemany. You would have to construct listing differently so that each array element contains all the insert parameters. Something like listing = [(title,x) for x in platform] for instance.

Boyle's PEO celebrates 65 years of helping women
Published 6:56 am Thursday, September 20, 2018
Boyle County's only chapter of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) sisterhood celebrated its 65th anniversary Monday evening by honoring two long-time members and by awarding a $500 scholarship to a deserving young woman to help further her education.
During the group's monthly meeting, Martha McConnell and Margaret Ann Milburn were recognized for being 60-year members in PEO. They both joined in 1958.
The PEO also presented Bluegrass Community and Technical College student Shelby Painter with a $500 scholarship. This is the second year Painter was given the award to further her education. She's enrolled in the surgical technology program and drives from her home in Hustonville to the Leestown Road campus in Lexington, where she attends classes from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. five days a week.
After receiving the award, Painter said she was originally going to use the money to help pay for gas to attend classes. However, she unexpectedly had to pay for an expensive car repair. "I am fortunate and blessed to be chosen for this year's recipient" of PEO's local scholarship, Painter said. The timing of the scholarship money couldn't have been better, she said.

At right, Shelby Painter, looks up to her mother, Dawn Hastings, before being presented with a scholarship from P.E.O. Chapter I during the group's 65th anniversary celebration Monday evening. Painter attends BCTC and will be using the scholarship money to help pay for her transporation expenses while attending classes.
The organization's main purpose is "to promote higher education for women," said chapter president Kathy Simpson.
The local chapter started offering its own $500 scholarship two years ago to a female student attending BCTC, Simpson said.
Many times, women who are working toward a college degree are non-traditional students, Simpson said. So their organization "tries to help them as best we can."
Money awarded to students doesn't have to go just toward tuition, Simpson explained. Sometimes, the students need help in getting a laptop or transportation to school.
But even though PEO Chapter I has been active for 65 years — PEO International will be celebrating its 150th anniversary next year — many people may only be familiar with the group because of its traditional Chautauqua Tea event held on the Thursday before the Great American Brass Band Festival weekend for the past several years.
It's the organization's main fundraiser of the year to support their goal to help women in their pursuit of higher education.
When the local PEO Chapter I was formed on Sept. 9, 1953, "everybody thought it was a secret society. And now we want to get the word out that we're doing good things," Simpson said.
"Last year we were able to send $1,750 to PEO International to support all of their scholarships," Simpson said.
There are nearly 6,000 PEO chapters across the U.S. and Canada and every chapter sends money they raise to PEO International to be distributed through its six philanthropies promoting higher education for deserving women, Simpson explained.
"As of April 2018, we (PEO International) have given a total of $321,488,322 to 105,155 women," Simpson said.
PEO International STAR Scholarship is a one-time $2,500 scholarship for senior high-school girls. More than 400 students apply across the U.S., and maybe 18 or so are given out, "so it's a very selective group," Simpson said.
Therefore the local chapter was extremely proud when students submitted by their group won the scholarship three years in a row: Kennedy Walls from Boyle County High School in 2015; Lydia Graham from Danville High School in 2016; and Elizabeth Lyons from BCHS in 2017.
Maggie Milby, also from DHS, had been nominated for the STAR Scholarship but wasn't selected for the national award. So the local chapter awarded her a $500 scholarship from its own funds generated by the Chautauqua Tea, Simpson said.
PEO International also offers:
• the PEO Educational Loan Fund to deserving female students at a 2-percent interest rate;
• the PEO International Peace Scholarship Fund for international women pursuing graduate degrees;
• the PEO Program for Continuing Educations, which provides grants to women for purposeful educational goals;
• the PEO Scholar Awards, which provides grants to women who are pursuing advanced degrees;
• Cotty College, which is a fully accredited liberal arts college for women in Missouri. It has been owned and operated by PEO sisterhood since 1927.
Simpson said there is a Danville connection to Cotty College is through Judy Rogers, who was a Centre College graduate and served as president of Cotty College for 15 years, until she retired two years ago.
PEO Chapter I has 34 active members, Simpson said, and membership is by invitation only. The local PEO chapter is a close-knit group of friends who enjoy continuing their own education too, Simpson said. They meet on the third Monday of the month, usually a member's home where a speaker is invited to give an overview of their particular field of expertise.
Now, however, since the group has grown, they tend to go to other locations, such as the Danville water treatment plant, Community Arts Center and Centre College, where they learn different aspects of each institution.
The PEO's emblem is a five-point star with the letters "PEO" in the center. Each point represents the organization's five core values — faith, love, purity, justice and truth. "We try to keep these in mind in our personal life and our community efforts," Simpson said.

Pasquale Peter Scapellati, 93
Funeral home named below Dec 7, 2020 at 4:32 pm
Pasquale Peter Scapellati, born July 11, 1927, passed on December 2, 2020 in Davenport, FL.
He was a good man who loved his wife dearly and wished only that she be cared for in his final hours. He survived the Great Depression and served his country in the U.S. Army, served his community of Deer Park, NY as a volunteer fireman, and served his family as "capo di tutti i capi"… He lived life "his way", as one of his favorites, Frank Sinatra, would say. May his playful and strong-willed spirit remain with each of us eternally, in each moment we remember his zeal for life, his love for his family, and his self-reliant outlook.
Pasquale is survived by his devoted wife of 71 years, Mary, his loving children, Phyllis & Richard Sawyer, Gregory & Donna Scapellati, Carol & James DeAngelo, his adoring grandchildren, Rick & Casey Sawyer, Bryan & Julie Sawyer, Christopher Scapellati, Stephanie Scapellati & Stephanie DeGennaro, Blaise DeAngelo, Michelle & Dan Lamardo and RoseMarie DeAngelo, and his joyful great grandchildren, Brady, Olivia, Alexis, Dylan, Ella, and Kyle Sawyer.
May his memory be a blessing. Visitation will be held at 10 A.M. on Tuesday, December 8th at the Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes – Serenity Gardens Chapel, with a Funeral Service to follow at 11 A.M.
Condolences may be sent to the family at Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes.

PHILADELPHIA — Georgetown knows all about Maya Moore and Connecticut's rich postseason history, and the Hoyas were determined to rock the bracket with one of the NCAA tournament's biggest upsets ever.
Backed into a corner, Moore got some help from fellow senior Lorin Dixon and the Huskies responded.
Moore had 23 points and 14 rebounds, leading Connecticut to a 68-63 victory after the Hoyas led by seven in the second half of their regional semifinal Sunday.
While Moore put up the numbers, Dixon was the catalyst for the game-changing run.
Connecticut trailed 53-46 with 9:36 left, but responded with a 16-2 run sparked by the 5-foot-4 guard.
"Today was a great reflection of what she's been doing for the last month for every single day," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said of Dixon, who finished with four points, four assists and four steals.
Bria Hartley got the spurt started with a 3-pointer and Dixon followed with a layup off a steal. She then had another steal and fed Hartley for an easy lay-in that tied it at 53 with 7:12 left.
Moore then scored four straight and, after Alexa Roche's basket, Hartley capped the run with a 3-pointer that made it 62-55 with 4:03 left.
Monica McNutt's 3-pointer got Georgetown within four with 1:41 remaining, but Moore answered with a long jumper from the corner to seal the win.
Hartley added 17 points for UConn (35-1), which is now three victories away from a third straight national championship that would match the school's own run from 2002-04 and Tennessee's from 1996-98.
UConn will have to beat Duke in the championship game on Tuesday night to advance to the Final Four for the fourth straight year. The Huskies routed the Blue Devils 87-51 on Jan. 31.
This was the third meeting between the two Big East teams in the past 30 days. UConn won the first two games by double digits, but Georgetown was able to remain close in those games by forcing the Huskies into a combined 47 turnovers with its relentless pressure.
The Hoyas (24-11) showed no fear from the start on Sunday, giving the top-seeded Huskies all they could handle. McNutt led the way with 17 points.
It was Auriemma's 80th victory in the NCAA tournament, moving him into second on the career wins list for men or women. Tennessee coach Pat Summitt is tops with 109, and Duke men's coach Mike Krzyzewski is third with 79 victories.
Auriemma has had a lot of success in Philadelphia, making his first Final Four in 1991 after playing at the regional at the Palestra. In 2000, Auriemma's team won its second national championship here.
While UConn is a regular in the round of 16, Georgetown is a relative newcomer. The Hoyas have been this far only once before in 1992-93. That team lost to Virginia in the regional semifinals.
Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy, who was an assistant on that 1993 team, doesn't think it will be another 18-year wait for the Hoyas to return to this level.
Sensing the buzz around the women's program, the school sent up two bus loads of boisterous students to the game and the Hoyas gave their fans plenty to cheer about.
Sugar Rodgers had said on Saturday that the coaching staff put together a highlight film showing the team the two good halves they had played against UConn in the previous two meetings. They added one more Sunday, but couldn't close it out after leading 35-32 at halftime.
The Hoyas continued to press UConn in the second half, building their lead with the 3-pointer. McNutt and Rodgers hit back-to-back 3s to make it 47-42 with 15:41 left.
Tia Magee then added four straight points to give the Hoyas a seven-point lead before UConn took over.
The Huskies haven't lost in the round of 16 since Stanford beat them in 2005. It has been 12 years since they lost as a one seed in the regional semifinals, falling to Iowa State in 1999.
Even Auriemma kidded in the press conference Saturday that his family and friends weren't going to show up until the championship game.
They would have missed a great game.
The Huskies have won 23 straight overall and 70 in a row against Big East schools.

Red Bull 'concerned' about Verstappen pace
