The 'Art in Public Places – #AanaJaana: Curating Women's Digital Stories of the City' exhibition presented different perspectives of a digital age by young women living in Delhi's urban peripheries – resettlement colonies, urban villages and border towns. Using visualisations of selected data – participatory maps, photographs, videos and WhatsApp diaries maintained by these women over a period of 6 months, #AanaJaana curates women's everyday stories of comings and goings in the city. It explored how women on the margins view, understand, and ultimately navigate the city through information and communication technologies (ICT) accessed from their mobile phones. It provokes us to think what mobility means in a context where social media provides real time information on the dangers and freedoms located in the metro, bus, auto rickshaw, and walkways as well as the opportunity to express this in creative and poignant ways. It showed us how women living on the urban peripheries negotiate the 'freedoms' of moving (aana) in online space with the 'dangers' of going out (jaana) into the city, or the constraints of entering (aana) online space with the constant control over their bodies even when they leave (jaana) home for the city. Through a convergence of art, digital media and architecture, this exhibition demonstrated the potential of urban technology to reveal new gendered inclusions and exclusions in the urban peripheries.
#aanajaana exhibition is on in Delhi's Mandi House Metro Station from 1-31 Jan 2019. Please visit and share.

Phoebe Bridgers' Cover of Nothing Else Matters: Haunting Metal
If you are a Metallica fan, all your Christmasses have come at once. In celebration of Metallica's Black Album of 1991, they have a deluxe remaster of the original record and there is a 4 record set of a diverse range of artists covering tracks off the record. There's St. Vincent, Weezer, Royal Blood, OFF!, Kamasi Washington, My Morning Jacket and of course Phoebe Bridgers. Each artist has a unique and interesting take on a track off the Black Album, which is fun to listen to and a great idea. I'm glad Metallica let this happen, because they have a history of being a little too….self serious about their music. However, if you are a Metallica fan you have hours of covers, remasters and new live tracks to dive into, which is METAL!!!
For me, Phoebe takes Nothing Else Matters to its thematic core. The track itself is a strange and uneasy mix of self – reliance, nihilism and contradictions. One the main contradictions is that if it doesn't matter "what they say," why write a song about it? I digress. I think these contradictions and uneasy relationships that makes the track work. On the one hand, the more you rely on yourself the more cut off you are from others. Hatfield sings about learning to trust in someone new, because that person does not play the games he is used to from others. This person is not there to use and manipulate him, like so many before. However, he always retreats to a rigid, and boarderline nihilistic, self – reliance where he is ready to write off the world entirely. It is this inner conflict between trust in others at the expense of the safety in trusting only the self that is the core conflict.
Bridgers takes this conflict within the self and casts it as a psychological horror with her James Wan inspired haunted house arrangement. The piano, music box, strings and ghostly echos on the vocal makes you feel stuck in a haunted attic. There is a sense of claustrophobia that works well in this track. Whenever Phoebe is ready to break out the track pulls right back and presses you within a rigid sonic coffin. The final verses brings in a thumping base, which seems at odds with the rest of the track and threatens to destroy the song. For me, this captures the inner conflict within the self as you leave the safety of the self to trusting in another.
I love what Bridger's does with this track. She takes a rather formulaic original metal power ballad and turns it into a haunting treatise to psychological conflict. The emotive quality of the vocals and arrangement is exemplary and it is a cover that breathes new life into the original work.

As we belong to Earth and Earth also belongs to the solar system. So that there is a connection between the solar system and us. Nevertheless, the mystery of the solar system is still illusive to the humankind. Moreover, we are continuously striving through we endeavor to know the mystery of the solar system. However, it is a great idea, if we get into the inner elements of its mystery, then we can get about the solar system easily.
In the solar system, the unity in their congregation is very much impressive. The reason is that the relationship between the stars is so concrete that any anomaly in their orbits does not displace themselves from it. So that their synchronization is brilliant. Even, the principles of physics get the adulation for their integrity on their orbits. The intensity of their relationship is strong due to the magnetic force of their body. One thing is very much clear that they maintain the same momentum through its process. Moreover, we should learn from their relationship.
The formation of the different stars in the solar system is different. But, in one sense, they are same in the other terms. The reason is that if you observe deeply in its birth formation then you will find that their formation is occurring in the sequential steps, which is never changed. Actually, the formation of the stars is happening when the universe needs for expansion or contraction. When the universe requires expanding, then it creates its own stars. Again, when the universe needs to contract, then it creates the stars for running the dynamism in its existence.
In the initial stages, the maturity of the solar system was not completed. However, as the time passes, the maturity is developed and the solar system becomes matured. Moreover, the solar system is always changing. As its inner development is continuously changing without any interruption. You may feel its maturity sign by observing its expansion and contraction process.
The components of the solar system are fixed at the primary level where you will see that the basic components will be found in the vast majority of the stars but in different quantity. One interesting point to observe that you will not find all components in a single star or planet. However, you will get a certain portion of the components will be there. Therefore, that it is happening due to the construction requirement of the star or planet.
The solar system is a great example of integrity. Its integrity is so strong that any outside force cannot dislodge it. Moreover, solar system holds its integrity intact for more that some billions of years and continuously doing so. The integrity of the solar system makes it to a family like form.
In this universe, nothing is static and forever. Therefore, that the death of the solar system is inevitable and it will stay for more some billions of years from now. When our solar system will die, then it will transform into a new being which will new to the history of the universe.
Now, we are enjoying our existence in the solar system. So that it will continue more than another billions of years from now so that we can get the maximum fulfillment of our life.

The Kite Runner: The Feminist Critique
✅ Paper Type: Free Essay ✅ Subject: Literature
In Khaled Hosseini's novel, "The Kite Runner", Hosseini displays how conservative Afghan society views women as being innately inferior to their male counterparts throughout the novel. He displays the lack of female agency in many ways. Hosseini uses the character of Sanabur; Hassan's mom , Khanum; General Taheri's wife and Soraya; Amir's wife to represent the many different ways sexisim is carried out in the Afghan society as well as the injustices in which women in Afghanistan are subjected to on the daily basis. When analyzing Khaled Hosseini's, The Kite Runner through a feminist perspective it evidently showcases the impact that gender has on society and the characters through the male chauvinist perspective, sexism, enforced gender roles, double standards and patriarchy present in the novel.
In Khaled Hosseini's novel, " The Kite Runner", women are viewed and degraded as sexual objects by men. The first act of oppression that occurs in this novel is when Hassan and Amir are walking along a Soviet military barrack on their way back from the movie theaters and that is when suddenly a group of soldier's yell absurd things regarding Hassan's mother, Sanaubar. : "I knew your mother, did you know that? I knew her real good. I took her from behind by that creek over there. […] What a tight little sugary cunt she had!" (Hosseini, Page 7). The Soviet Union soldiers are using very explicit language referring to Sanaubar and are completely dehumanizing her by only addressing her as some type of sex object that's sole purpose is for her to give them pleasure and not referring to her as an actual human being; an equal. The soldier also doesn't look past Sanaubar's physical attributes. Not only does he objectify Hassan and Sanaubar he also uses his position in society as a male and as a soldier knowing well enough that he can degrade women and taunt individuals that are Hazaras who are the targeted minority in Afghanistan without any repercussions. The soldier also knows that Hassan won't stick up for himself because if he ever did he would have suffered severe consequences from the presumably armed soldiers. The second act of sexisim that occurs in this novel is when Baba and Amir were fleeing Afghanistan as refugees in a truck with many other families. When they passed an Afghan-Russian checkpoint a Russian soldier dehumanizes and humiliates a women as a form of payment or tax to let them pass the checkpoint.: "The soldier wanted a half hour with the lady in the back of the truck. […] It's his price for letting us pass, […] he says every price has a tax." (Hosseini, Page 115). The truck with the smuggled refugees was supposed to have no trouble crossing through the Soviet Union-Afghani checkpoint due to connections that the driver Karim had. But as soon as they ran into one of the checkpoints all of the Afghan soldiers let the truck pass with no conflict, but one of the Soviet Union soldiers eyes a women in the truck and demands that in order for him to allow the truck to pass by that he would have to have half and hour with the lady as some kind of payment. In this situation the women was dehumanized and humiliated in front of everyone, with predatory glances that everyone in the truck saw directed at her that displayed that the soldier only viewed her as an object for him to fulfil his sexual fantasy. The soldier uses his gender and authority as an advantage to oppress and dominate the women knowing very well that she cannot reject him without any serious consequences being inflicted onto her. Without Baba's (a dominant male) interference there would have been no doubt that women would have been sexually assaulted by the corrupt soldier. Overall in the novel it is evident that males are dominant over females. Males abuse their authority and power in order to oppress females, which leads males to see females as the inferior sex and thus treat them as subhuman.
In Hosseini's novel, "The Kite Runner" women's roles are dictated by men whether it be male relatives or a husband and if a women decided to not obey they are subjected to several consequences. Men in the novel are raising their daughters to be domestic figures such as being a submissive wife, mother and daughter but they are belittling them for not having the ability to critically think: "While you're busy knitting sweaters, my dear, I have to deal with the community's perception of our family" (Hosseini, Page 360). In this case this quotation displays that men in the novel are expecting women to do great feats with little to no support. They are raising their own daughters to become submissive to men; to only exist in the domestic and private sphere. In this specific quotation the General Taheri is talking to his daughter Soraya belittling her saying that all she has to do is do household chores when he has to carry the family's reputation which he considers is the tough job. Secondly, when women get married their husbands are the ones that make the decisions for what they can and cannot do and the women are expected to obey which results in women giving up many of their hobbies that they partake in their lives in order to please their husbands and male relatives. A quote that highlights this point is: "That she could never sing in public had been one of the generals conditions when they had married […] Khanum wanted to sing at our marriage but the general gave her one of his looks and the matter was buried." (Hosseini, Page 177). This quotation is in reference to General Taheri when he forbid Khanum Taheri to sing in public as an agreement for their marriage, but Khanum asks him if she could bend this one rule for her daughter's marriage ceremony but he shoots her a glare and that the matter was over. This specific quotation showcases that men have the highest power out of the two sexes and that women in the novel are treated as their husbands property where the husband makes all the decisions for her and the women is expected to be submissive. Women also have no voice and say on anything that they do it has to run through a male figure and be approved before they carry on with it. They are also expected to be very obedient to their husbands like in this case how Khanum's idea to sing was shot down completely by one look from her dominant husband with Khanum not discussing or arguing the topic after.
In Khaled Hosseini's novel, female characters are subjected to many cultural stereotypes that they are required to abide by or they risk shunning or alienation from their own families, relatives and their communities leaving them with no support. Double standards are present throughout this novel more specifically when Soraya decided to run away with her Afghan boyfriend and start a new life with him many years ago. Soraya states: "Their sons go out to nightclubs looking for meat and get their girlfriends pregnant out of wedlock and no one says a goddamn thing. Oh, they're just men having fun! I make one mistake and suddenly everyone is talking […] I have to have it rubbed to my face for the rest of my life." (Hosseini, Page 179) Over here Soraya (Amir's Wife) is seen in the novel slamming Afghan culture for its double standard between males and females. She has witnessed this double standard herself when she decided at the age of eighteen to run away with her boyfriend off to a disclosed location and start a new life there together but she quickly became the new gossip of the Afghan community in the United States, where they would say many disrespectful phrases and terms behind her back to one another. When she decided to return back to her parents home she gets completely shunned by the Afghan community in her region. Fast forward to five years later people are still gossiping and keeping their distance away from Soraya due to the fact that she ran away off with a boyfriend which in her case is completely ignoring the cultural stereotypes and rules of the Afghan society. Moreover, this quote voices Soraya's frustrations about the double standards in the Afghan community and how males can go out and do whatever they please like go out to clubs and have relationships with people of the opposite sex and engage in sexual activity and not fear being shunned by their entire family and community but as soon as a female decides to interact with the opposite sex or have a long term boyfriend and engage in sexual activities then suddenly there is a pandemonium and they are either shunned by their communities or are the topic of gossip within the community for years to come. Throughout the novel it is very evident that Amir is aware of the double standards that are present within the Afghan community and culture. A passage in the novel reads: "I heard you write. How did she know? I wondered if her father had told her, maybe she had asked him. I immediately dismissed both scenarios as absurd. Fathers and sons could talk freely about women. But no Afghan girl – no decent and mohtaram Afghan girl, at least – queried her father about a young man. And no father, especially a Pashtun with nang and namoos, would discuss a mojarad with his daughter, not unless the fellow in question was a khastegar, a suitor, who had done the honorable thing and sent his father to knock on the door. (Hosseini, Page 128-129). Amir is well aware of his privilege as a male and that he has more leniency then other women in the novel as he states later on: "I cringed a little at the position of power I'd been granted, and all because I had won at the genetic lottery that had determined my sex." (Hosseini , Page 157) Even though Amir is an Afghani male he was brought up by a very liberal father and that is why he sees that there is a clear double standard in the Afghan community. Soraya asks him if he writes and he quickly believes that she only knows this because her father had told her that but he quickly realises that in the conservative Afghan culture fathers cannot talk to their daughters about men because that would show that the Afghan girl does not have decency for her self and the only time where it was allowed for a father and daughter talk about a man was if the man was bachelor that her father thought would be suitable for her as a husband. But on the other hand fathers and sons can talk freely about other women and nothing is presumed negatively about the son.

Q: Square DIV where height is equal to viewport I need to create a DIV where width=height, and height=100% of the viewport (which, obviously, is variable).
In other words, a perfectly square DIV that calculates it's dimensions based on the height of the viewport. Elements within that DIV will take their dimensions as percentages of the parent-DIV's height & width.
It seems to me like this should be simple to do in CSS, but I've gotten stuck with it! Any pointers would be much appreciated.

A: CSS3 has a way of doing this using vw, viewport width, and vh, viewport height. Using these measures, 100vw is the entire width of the viewport, and 100vh is the entire height. More information about relative css3 values and units here.
As of writing this, the only support however is for Internet Explorer 9, so this is probably not what you're looking for, but is something good to keep in mind when future support follows.

A: CSS only solution : vh units
To make the element resize according to the height of the viewport you can use vh units :

vh : 1/100th of the height of the viewport. [source MDN]

Example:

body{margin:0;}

div{
    background:gold;
    height:100vh;
    width:100vh;
}

Fiddle DEMO
This will make the width and height of the element equal to the height of the viewport.

Bowser support for vh units is IE9+. More info here

A: One additional trick I came up with to help partially solve this problem, for anybody who stumbles across this page... Run the following code in your page's onload event:
$('body').css('font-size',$(window).height()/100)

This means the css "em" unit is equal to 100th of your page height- You can now arbitrarily use this in your css file to size any item relative to your viewport height. This is more generic than the other solutions listed here- And most likely you want to size all of the elements of your page to take into account your viewport height. For instance, if you now want to create your square you can just write:
#square{width:100em;height:100em}

Of course, you'll also have to take this into account for any text on your page (since this trick affects the font size)

A: You can do this with jquery (or pure javascript if you prefer).
With jquery:

$(document).ready(function(){
  var height = $(window).height();
  $('#square').css('height', height);
  $('#square').css('width', height);
});

A: There is a neat trick using pure css that i stumbled upon:
#square {
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 100%;
}

http://blog.brianjohnsondesign.com/2013/maintain-aspect-ratio-for-html-element-using-only-css-in-a-responsive-design/

A: This is interesting...
For those who may be looking for a pure CSS way to contain a square div with the maximum dimensions:

The key takeaway here is that you set max-width and max-height while setting width and height to the opposite values.

HTML

CSS
html, body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

div {
  background-color: red;
  width: 100vh;
  height: 100vw;
  max-width: 100vw;
  max-height: 100vh;
}

Live running example: https://jsfiddle.net/resistdesign/szrv5o19/

A: You could use Javascript and get the screen size. After which you could set width and height accordingly.
window.screen.width, and window.screen.height should work.
You could then use this information and generate a tiny bit of CSS for the page to be displayed accordingly.

A: I don't know if I'm getting this right, but if you want to set it to 100% oh the height of the viewport, you could easily do this in css:
.stuff {
  background:#DDD;
  display:inline-block;
  height: 100vh;
  width : 100vh;
}

Our technical debt is showing in our user interface. What can we do?
25/05/2021 by Benoit Rajalu
It's not easy to age gracefully, I'm told. I wouldn't know, I'm a surprisingly young old person. It's still particularly true for software UI. Our applications' scope will grow with time and they are going to meet one of two fates: either they will look globally outdated or their oldest parts will noticeably lack homogeneity.
The team in charge of product design changes. Some people move on. Market trends change as well, sometimes yearly. We can see each of these events as layers on our UI. Each time the direction shifted, people meant for it to consume the whole product, new features and old ones alike...but there was no time, no budget. The vision was looking forwards, not backwards.
We've heard that story before. When our code is outdated or compromised, we've learned to see it as "technical debt". Now we stand and face UI debt, the wrinkles on the face of our app and we wonder: what can we do? Is design homogeneity the privilege of youth, of the hip new app that comes out?
It should not. It certainly requires more effort and planning to get there, but there are ways "senior" products can eventually move towards the same homogeneity.
Budgeting for the long task
Before we address the technical tools available, there's an important product management mindset we need to have.
It's always hard to accept that some of our teams' productivity will go towards working on things that are already "done". Where's the value in that? The budget for that page / feature / website has been spent! Clients are using it, it won't bring in more revenue if we put more time into it.
Isn't that a shortsighted look at it though? Clients may find the "finished" product increasingly hard to use with time. The core interactive precepts the legacy features rely on may no longer be "taught" by the other parts of our UI (think of icons for instance, or colour-codes). What if the design we chose 10 years ago is now so laughably out-dated our competitors use it in their "before vs after" shots? That would suck.
We know of budgeting for technical debt in our sprints (do we?), but that budget should also account for the visual debt, as long as it's there.
Luckily both can be closely tied.
Getting the right tools for the right job
Our technical and visual debts usually intersect with our styling and markup tools.
On the web, the way we handle styles has never been more diverse. Gone are the days where everybody loaded a single CSS stylesheet and called it a day.
Preprocessors (SASS, LESS, Post-CSS), CSS modules or CSS-in-JS in their many different shapes have all up-ended expectations and made it harder to deliver a single, homogenised way to style UIs across the board.
Design tokens for all ages
If you've never heard of design tokens, you are going to love them. They are abstract (variables) representing standalone design atoms. Colours, icons, font styles, even spacing, the core principles of your designs can be reduced to a collection of design tokens. We can even automatize their extraction from design assets. This article isn't about them per se, but Nathan Curtis has got us covered for a deeper dive.
The concept of tokens is great but we rarely think of the past when we produce them. We export styles as SASS, or LESS, or JS strings variables because that's what our current stack consumes. We export icons as React components for the same reason. It's a choice, we prioritize the current needs and those are often tied to new features running on our latest tech.
Those tokens however are our single best opportunity to pay our UI debt. Imagine our colour language has changed. Updating our token library would automatically bring the product up to speed...as long as our legacy products also depend on them.
If our legacy product can't consume the tokens, we're missing out. It's therefore very valuable to ensure our token libraries "think of their elders" when we compile them. SASS variables can be turned into CSS variables for instance, which are more easily consumed regardless of preprocessor choices. Doing that, we've made it possible for our legacy products to share the same core CSS principles as our latest features!
It's harder for the icons (or illustrations) we turned into components but as long as they are simple wrappers around hosted images...well we can expose those raw URLs as well. This enables us to update legacy icons, albeit with more effort.
It's not a miracle solution though. We have our tokens, but what should we do with them?
UI debt is not solved easily, it requires a plan and a team effort
Documenting the debt
Making our tokens backwards-compatible is a great first step but it's worthless if nobody goes into the legacy to put them there. That's the expensive thing.
We may have to deal with ancient dependency managers, with templating languages long-thought to be dead. That's tough but manageable.
It'll be harder when we will come across past choices that contradict current UI patterns, choices that we can't simply cancel. There will be whole components or behaviours that are no longer part of "what we do". Basic style principles are tokenizable in an agnostic way, but markup and structure... These are much harder to reduce to variables and they are often deeply tied to technical choices.
Each time we land on one such hurdle, we've found precious documentation material. We have an opportunity to chart the waters of our company's UI debt.
We can make a list of what's wrong, why, and why we're not able to fix the issue right now. We can offer options that would enable us to fix the issue. That list is a tool as well, it becomes our roadmap to UI homogeneity.
Prioritize and estimate
This roadmap, like all of them, is worthless on its own. We need to act on it, and we need to prioritize, to refine its content. Which parts of these "debt hurdles" are the biggest obstacles to complete product homogeneity? Can they be tackled atomically (switch out the legacy component for a new one) or do they need heavy refactoring (rewrite a complete feature with the current technical stack)?
That's very valuable UI work, we're lifting the "fog-of-war", but it's only documentation. We need to go back to our earlier "long task" budget and see what fits in there. What can we do in a given amount of time?
There will be humongous tasks. We will find entire crucial features that we can't touch without spending months on painful rewriting, often spending considerable resources understanding old code. We've fallen right back into our technical debt and how it hinders progress. It's a well-known issue with software development, as described by Martin Fowler:
Progress is rapid initially, but as time goes on it gets harder to add new features. Even small changes require programmers to understand large areas of code, code that's difficult to understand. When they make changes, unexpected breakages occur, leading to long test times and defects that need to be fixed.
https://martinfowler.com/articles/is-quality-worth-cost.html
To address the necessary efforts, we need to talk with everybody involved, PMs and managers, to figure out our timelines. The small, isolated tasks can be done in batches, delivering complete components replacement sprint after sprint.
The larger pieces though? These will require a longer scope. With all the stakeholders around and our estimates, we can pick the most valuable one to refactor and get to it, bit by bit, with shared responsibilities. Given a year and a sizable chunk of the debt budget, few legacy features can't be made anew.
That opportunity benefits in turns more than pure UI concerns. Such work improves the overall codebase homogeneity, it'll make it easier to iterate on "lost" features, or simply highlight which ones are no longer relevant and can be cut. It's a chance to tackle product feedback as well. Down the line, everybody wins.
Lush, verdoyant debt
This kind of deep product analysis and cataloguing is not easy. Nobody likes digging through the trash, except of course that it's not trash. It's our garden and it needs tending to.
Debt is like weeds. It's fine to let them grow but we can't act surprised when there's no more space for the actual garden. To stay on the garden analogy, we've got tools by our side. Planning is one.
A Design System is an obvious other. Design tokens are a perfect fit for a DS but it does not stop there. Its role is to document what our UI should be and what's our vision for UI homogeneity. It provides teams with clear guidelines and battle-tested components we can easily use to pay back some of our debt. It organises our tokens, our easily-swappable components and our decision-making processes within a team that can support long-term efforts to deal with our weeds.
It's a powerful tool but it's still not enough on its own. The real enemy is bad habits.

With so much pollution and adulteration in the atmosphere there is a need for a filter program that can filter any unwanted substance and produce almost clear and clean residue. Science has become the solution to all the problems and has got the answer to this issue too, which is called vacuum tubes. The micro-organisms are hard to detect and when mixed with minute particle, they are almost impossible to trace. Hence, vacuum filtration is used for filtering microbiological particles, and they involve analytical procedures that help in collecting minute particles (bacteria, precipitate, etc.) from a liquid suspension and have lots more to it. They are used to collect a sample from molten gold, steel and silver, etc., which is required for hydrogen analysis and all. Vacuum Tube Manufacturers are now arising with grace in the commercial market.
The finest grade of borosil glasses are extensively used as they are resistant to harmful substances. The borosilicate filter flasks and silicone rubber stoppers are compatible with most filter holders. It is recommended to use flasks to collect filtrate or to act as a trap to prevent liquid from damaging pump or vacuum line. Suppliers across the globe supply a wide range of vacuum filter holders and accessories. The manufacturing companies come with high prices but get the work done in an efficient manner. The quality can be compromised when it comes to severe competition among the manufacturers, but then you need to check before finalizing one. Satisfaction of the clients should be the one and only motto of the companies. The companies do come up with products that satisfy your needs, and that is what is expected of them.
There is no doubt that a number of manufacturers are there on the market, however, only the best ones survive in here. The borosilicate material developed by them is a highly reliable product. With best manufacturers you get light weigh, thin up to 0.5mm approx. wall bulb section which is the weak point, as it breaks on contact with the molten metal. This is very much necessary and should be precise as after this breakage, the molten metal enters the tube to form a solid, slag free metal pin every time. These tubes are available on the market at attractive prices and there are lots of models to choose from.

Transformation Of An Introvert Studious Geek To An Extrovert Girly Girl Beauty Addict!!
Hi Readers! Finally, it is getting colder. Winter chills are a normal part of getting through winter. Have you ever noticed how harsh weather seems to drag the spirit down with it? Irritating cough to the sore throat and fever (or worse), is sure to make your life miserable for a few days. Stay safe and healthy! With that being said, This month, Zenpop Stationery Pack is all about the winter magic. Ranging from the Winter inspired washi tape to the Winter Snowman Pad, it has it all! Keep Reading.
ZenPop is located in Osaka, Japan. This service is brought to you by ZenMarket which is a Japanese online shopping and proxy service. ZenPop offers 5 kinds of packs Sweets Pack, Ramen pack, Ramen and Sweets Mix Pack, Beauty Pack, and Stationery Pack. Each Pack containing products that are all carefully selected and hand pick and hand packed just for you. You can subscribe for 3 or 6 months, or order and get one pack anytime you want! You will experience exclusive & cutting edge Japanese culture by getting the packs ZenPop offers.
ZenPop selects not just basic items, but also extra cute or elaborate products. Zenpop's goal is for you to enjoy Japanese products or experience Japanese culture that may be hard to find outside of Japan, and it's for everyone who wants to try something new!
Zenpop Stationery Pack includes 10 or more unique items from Japan, which comprises of stickers , washi tapes, writing utensils, sticky notes, notebooks and other accessories. This pack is available for one time purchases, and subscription plans also available. Zenpop provides Free International Shipping to most countries.
I must mention here that zenpop has put their effort in the packaging. The box is made out of a sturdy cardboard with a solid fun and bright coloured printing on it which is simple yet loud. The contents of the box are enclosed in a tissue paper to hold it in a place.
A beautiful thankyou note with a discount code for next order, and a pamphlet for all the details and description of the items included in a pack, plus a little japanese vocabulary that is fruits names , which needs to be mark 10/10.
Lets talk about each of the item one by one!
November is one of those months of the year when everyone already started shopping for their new year calenders, diaries and other essentials to welcome the new year to its fullest. It is a no surprise that zenpop has added a portable little desk calender to keep you all started for the next year. I really liked the size and it fits perfectly in my new bullet journal pocket.
This is my favourite items in this months pack. Zenpop boxes always have that unique item which have my heart. Few months back they included the little glue stamp which has been my favourite since then. And once again one of the most unique and functional item has been added. This little stapler staple the papers together very well without using the staples. It folds the paper by punching a hole into it. Confused? No need to. As i have attached a lot of pictures to get you an idea! Voila!
The cutest item in the pack are these dog one point markers. Cute little dogs or puppies have been featured in these markers. They are great to bookmarks those quotes and important details while reading a book.
Winter inspired washi tape is a must when we are talking about the winter magic theme. It has branches and cottons printed all over it. This washi tape is so aesthetic and another beautiful addition in my collection.
The name is sounding new and unknown right? Thats what zenpop's packs are all about. You got to learn so much. So, ippitsusen means 'one stroke paper' which is used to quite a quick note. It is basically a winter themed paper pad with the beautiful winter drawings on the front , made me feel even cooler.
We all know that there are four seasons in the year,but not in the east asia. It is believed there that four seasons of the year are further divided into 6 micro seasons. They have included the letter set of 5 micro seasons of the year called rittou, shousetsu, taisetsu, shoukan, and daikan. Beautifully watercoloured illustrations are drawn on the letters.
Not as complicated as the name sounds. Just like we have "Eidee" here in Pakistan, where parents and relatives give Eidee to the children and the young ones on Eid, Similarly , In Japan Otoshidama is given in these special envelopes called pochi bukuro on every new year.
As 2018 has been the year of dogs , washi stickers has been added to bit farewell to the dogs. All the stickers are related in someway or other to bring luck. I loved the quality and foil printing on the stickers. Cannot wait to create a spread with these.
At first, i thought it is about the tip only, as it was looking like a beetle head, but when i searched about it i was overwhelmed by the way it has been created. It can be used to create thin strokes, double lines, or fat tip to highlight normally. I got it in the colour yellow, my favourite for sure!
A very pretty glitter gel pen by sakura is a cute little addition in the pack. As the winter is all about sparkles, and glitters. This pen is very slim with commendable grip and smooth writing.
Zenpop stationery pack retails around $29.50 which is approximately 3400 PKR. If you subscribe for 3 months you ll save $4.50 and if you subscribe for 6 months you ll save $12.00. Steal the deal and Enjoy!

Q: How to extract values of one field of csv file based on other fields? I have a csv file with 4 fields; student_id, date_of_exam, subject and marks. I want to store the values in marks field in some list based on every different student_id and subject so that I can perform some operation on that list later (ex: get the average marks etc).
I can do this if I have a student_id and subject beforehand; I can check them against all the values in the csv file and store marks corresponding to that particular student_id and subject (as shown in the code snippet below). But how do I do it for every student? This is the part I can't seem to figure out.
import csv

with open('results_file.csv', 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)

    # next(reader)

    marks = []
    for line in reader:
        if line[0] == student_id and line[2] == subject:
            values.append(float(line[3]))
    print("Maximum: {}, Minimum: {}, Average: {}, Count: {}".format(max(values), min(values), sum(values) / len(values), len(values)))

The csv file looks something like this:
student_id,date_of_exam,subject,marks

a1,2012-05-21,Maths,45

a2,2012-05-24,Physics,48

a2,2012--5-27,Chemistry,42

a1,2012-05-15,Language,35

a2,2012-05-21,Maths,49

a3,2012-05-15,Language,47

A: You can use dictionaries:
grades_per_student = {}
grades_per_subject = {}

with open('results_file.csv', 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for line in reader:
        if line[0] in grades_per_student.keys():
            grades_per_student[line[0]].append(line[-1])
        else:
            grades_per_student[line[0]] = [line[-1]]
        if line[2] in grades_per_subject.keys():
            grades_per_subject[line[2]].append(line[-1])
        else:
            grades_per_subject[line[2]] = [line[-1]]

Result:
grades_per_student = {'a1': [45, 35], 'a2': [48, 42,49], 'a3': [47]}
grades_per_subjects = {'Maths': [45, 49], 'Physics': [48], 'Chemistry': [42], 'Language': [35, 47]}

A: You can use collections.defaultdict to store marks for every student/subject:
import csv
from collections import defaultdict

with open('out.csv', 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)

    next(reader)    # skip header

    marks = defaultdict(list)
    grades = defaultdict(dict)
    subjects = set()
    for (student_id, date_of_exam, subject, mark) in reader:
        marks[student_id].append(int(mark))
        grades[student_id][subject] = int(mark)
        subjects.add(subject)

    subjects = sorted(subjects)

    print('{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^5}'.format('student_id', 'maximum', 'minimum', 'average', 'count'))
    for student, marks in marks.items():
        print('{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10.2f}{: ^5}'.format(student, max(marks), min(marks), sum(marks) / len(marks), len(marks) ))

    print()

    print('{: ^15}'.format('student\subject'), end='')
    for s in subjects:
        print('{: ^15}'.format(s), end='')

    print()

    for student_id, student_subjects in grades.items():
        print('{: ^15}'.format(student_id), end='')
        for s in subjects:
            if s in student_subjects:
                print('{: ^15}'.format(student_subjects[s]), end='')
            else:
                print('{: ^15}'.format('-'), end='')
        print()

Prints:
student_id maximum   minimum   average  count
    a1        45        35      40.00     2
    a2        49        42      46.33     3
    a3        47        47      47.00     1

student\subject   Chemistry      Language         Maths         Physics
      a1              -             35             45              -
      a2             42              -             49             48
      a3              -             47              -              -

A: I recommend that you use pandas library:
Read your data into a dataframe using pandas.read_csv function.  Passing the argument names, you can load only the columns of the csv that you want
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('results_file.csv', names=['student_id', 'subject', 'marks'])

Island method for estimating the statistical significance of profile-profile alignment scores
Aleksandar Poleksic, University of Northern Iowa
BMC Bioinformatics
Background: In the last decade, a significant improvement in detecting remote similarity between protein sequences has been made by utilizing alignment profiles in place of amino-acid strings. Unfortunately, no analytical theory is available for estimating the significance of a gapped alignment of two profiles. Many experiments suggest that the distribution of local profile-profile alignment scores is of the Gumbel form. However, estimating distribution parameters by random simulations turns out to be computationally very expensive. Results: We demonstrate that the background distribution of profile-profile alignment scores heavily depends on profiles' composition and thus the distribution parameters must be estimated independently, for each pair of profiles of interest. We also show that accurate estimates of statistical parameters can be obtained using the "island statistics" for profile-profile alignments. Conclusion: The island statistics can be generalized to profile-profile alignments to provide an efficient method for the alignment score normalization. Since multiple island scores can be extracted from a single comparison of two profiles, the island method has a clear speed advantage over the direct shuffling method for comparable accuracy in parameter estimates. © 2009 Poleksic; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

'National Walk to School Week'!!
This week is very special at Peterbrook and to launch it, our ECO Councillors and Miss Exon held a very special whole school assembly to celebrate the launch of 'National Walk to School Week'!!
As you can see from the powerpoint presentation and the photographs below, our pupils are very keen to support such a good idea which promotes healthy exercise and a reduction in noise and air pollution. 'Walk to School' is a national campaign that was launched in 1995 with a simple aim – to encourage all parents and children to make walking to school part of their daily routine. This week over 6,400 schools and 1.6 million children will be taking part.
The campaign is run by 'Living Streets', the national charity which stands up for pedestrians. The main aim of the week is to create safe, attractive and enjoyable streets, where people want to walk. So parents, let's leave our polluting cars at home this week and 'walk and talk' our way to school with our children!

How Can Peer-To-Peer (P2P) Consolidation Succeed in Loxley, Alabama, and Could It Be Right For You?
People all over the place are constantly looking for the best option for them in terms of applying for a lending product. With that being said, you will discover various alternatives with each one providing its own unique range of benefits. If you have been considering Loxley, Alabama peer-to-peer debt consolidation lending options and the way they compare to banks, here's some useful information.
Getting approved for a loan from the bank and getting access to the cash is a time-consuming process that requires perseverance. Meanwhile, you'll find yourself becoming more and more smothered with debt. The process of peer-to-peer debt consolidation lending options is a lot quicker, and you could have the funds that you need in a few weeks.
It is discouraging for most people to commit to the effort and patiently waiting of bank loans. To be allowed a preliminary meeting with a loan official at the banking institution, you will need to make a scheduled appointment for a time which is suitable for them. Scheduling conflicts can considerably delay the process before it gets started.
Bank lending criteria tend to be more rigid. Approval requires a lot of time-consuming chores, meeting very high requirements, then patiently waiting to determine if you are eligible. As criteria are more difficult to satisfy, less and less consumers are able to get any support with a loan from the bank.
In a time where very few alternatives are designed to make life less complicated, peer-to-peer debt consolidation is a simple solution that helps the consumer in Loxley, Alabama. These days, you are much less likely to get a loan with a bank than you are to find results with peer-to-peer lending.
Once you make an application for a loan, there is an inquiry delivered to the credit agencies. This influences your credit score. You can find P2P lenders that do what is called a "soft" inquiry. This is when they're able to examine your consumer credit rating without leaving a lasting harmful impact.
Credit score conditions play a big factor in application acceptance or refusal. Usually, to receive a loan from your banking institution, you will need a consumer credit rating around seven hundred or more, whereas P2P debt consolidation loans do not have these excessive requirements. When it comes to peer-to-peer consolidation loan companies like Lending Club and Prosper, you can get by with a credit score around the mid-600s.
Banking institutions also demand a lot more proof than P2P loan companies. While they have to have all kinds of finance statements, business records, drafted spending budget and other proof, the majority of P2P loan providers only ask you to indicate the need for the loan and the means to repay. This factor is very fundamental to people that would like to preserve their privacy and don't need an establishment to know every little thing regarding how they invest each dollar.
Those who are unlucky enough to have less than ideal credit scores are often required to pay for excessively high costs with respect to debt consolidation lending. It becomes extremely difficult to pay back the bank loan when your APR is anywhere from 20-40%. Though each peer-to-peer loan service is unique, interest rates this excessive aren't common at all. On P2P lending options, you're much more likely to have an interest rate that's under 15%, which makes it a lot simpler to pay the borrowed funds.
One more problem that happens with a bank loan is that often your payments transform with time. This is a significant hindrance for many budgets. You will find a fantastic benefit in Loxley, Alabama P2P loans with set payment schedules. Whatever occurs with the economy, your installment remains exactly the same.
Lots of people struggle to make their installments on the given day every month. Banking institutions are certainly not known for being of great benefit when it comes to telling you whenever your payment is due because a late payment means big fees and more benefit for them. Peer-to-peer loan companies eliminate this problem by debiting your bank account promptly on a set date. What this means is no more late payment fees being added to your balance. As long as you have the cash in your accounts to pay for it, you don't have anything to think about.
When you have decided to go with a P2P debt consolidation loan, you are able to choose which organization to work with; and two that are highly recommended are Prosper and Lending Club.
Can Lending Club Help You With P2P Lending?
Before using the services of Lending Club, you'll need a little bit of info on them. Here's a look at what you should come to expect if you choose to do business with them.
One thing you should consider is that you will be able to borrow as much as $35,000 from the loan providers here. This can be a great choice for individuals that can't get approval for a sum this big from other places. Your approved loan sum can vary greatly determined by different variables, but many people without perfect credit ratings have the ability to receive the max amount with this provider.
Often, people see there are charges involved with banking institutions that they just weren't aware of when they accepted the loan. It is quite typical for people to be compelled into signing before completely knowing the repercussions. Lending Club makes a point of ensuring that you realize what you're getting into, and they freely disclose their lending charges (from 5.49% to 26.06%). You will be fully mindful of precisely what you'll need to pay Before signing something.
What if You Make an Error?
In a perfect world, if you use automated installments, you'll have the funds in the bank account to cover it; however, it does not always figure out like that. You can definitely plan to be charged for a problem like this; though with most companies, the cost is unreasonably excessive. Lending Club is much more practical about slip-ups. Indeed, they only ask for $15 whenever a payment is not successful. That is at least 2 times below a typical loan service.
Many people prefer to make payments by checks, and this is a viable alternative with Lending Club. Lending agencies have got a good deal to gain from returned installments, and that's why they generally refuse checks, choosing to take advantage of your situation. Lending Club does charge a fee for payments by check, but it's a sensible rate that you're made aware of in advance.
Whenever you submit an application for a loan, you do not know ahead of time if you're likely to qualify. It is easy to understand why some evade the loan application if they know that the credit check may harm their FICO score. Lending Club goes out of their way to make sure that your request will not hurt your credit scores in any way. This means you're able to feel comfortable with the knowledge that being qualified or declined won't haunt you later on.
At this point you've got the info you need to decide if you ought to obtain a Lending Club financial loan. Prosper is another beneficial option to find out about.
Prosper is another P2P lender you should consider if you have need of a consolidation loan in Loxley, Alabama. This company presents several benefits. Look at the following.
Consumer credit problems are considerably more typical than exquisite credit standing. Occasionally stuff like late credit card payments and mortgage loans can take a serious toll on your credit standing. If your credit score is 640, you'll be able to count on Prosper to be of assistance. It's helpful bearing in mind many banking institutions would not give people who have this credit score another glance.
There are lots of loan providers out there, and all of them want to persuade you that they are the very best. Although some of them might be reliable, a lot of them are only looking to impress you enough to persuade you to work with them. Ever since the beginning of the business, Prosper has helped borrowers to the tune of $2 billion. That is a lot more than the majority of banks that have been in operation for many more years. This provider is the first of its kind and is an innovator in the world of lending.
Rather than letting you know a great deal of facts that the majority of people do not look at very much, it's time to focus on costs, starting from 6.05% to 31.25%. This is a rather wide range, yet all loan providers do things in a different way. Though two people could have exactly the same credit standing, there might be other variables taken into account that could affect the rate they are offered. This provider reports their fees on their website in order to avoid misunderstandings. Openness is an important part of the core ethics of Prosper.
Whenever people make installments on credit card debt, they generally make the minimum payment. As a result you are really having to pay more interest than anything, and the total sum is not actually changing. If you want to finally concentrate on the primary balance, consolidation can certainly help. If you don't want to be in debt for the rest of your life, Prosper can help.
Unlike conventional loan providers, you won't need to be concerned about an extensive delay to get financing from Prosper. The time to create a listing which clarifies what you require and the reason why comes after loan application acceptance. You will have to look forward to a lender to answer this post. When someone decides to help, the cash is provided in a reasonable timeframe. A couple weeks is the typical time you must wait.
Clearly, you'll find distinct advantages of working with Lending Club and Prosper rather than heading to the local banking institution and trying your luck. For that reason, more and more people are switching to P2P loans. When you are searching for debt consolidation help in Loxley, Alabama, make sure that you consider a P2P loan more than anything else. Traditional banking institutions do not have your needs in mind, regardless of what promises they seek to come up with. This info will help you make a good decision and have a beneficial lending experience, so take this into account when contemplating financing.

Anna Karenina (2012): A Review
ANNA KARENINA (2012)
It is with a heavy heart that I confess not having read Anna Karenina, even when Oprah herself placed it in her eponymous Book Club, squeezing it in between whatever writings Maya Angelou or Deepak Chopra were pushing. I do have it on my list of books to read, though I'd like to finish Memoirs of a Geisha before going on to such a massive novel.
If I may digress, my mother LOVES all these Russian books. She's gotten on my case for not reading Karenina, or The Brothers Karamazov, or Doctor Zhivago, or War and Peace. That being the case, I cannot judge whether Joe Wright's adaptation of Leon Tolstoy's massive masterpiece strays from the source material (though I gather we don't get as much farming techniques as the reader does). However, judging just on this, the first adaptation of Anna Karenina that I've seen, I never got the sense that Anna and her lover Vronsky were passionately, wildly, madly, and completely in love. I just got the sense they were very, very horny.
I at least am not completely ignorant of the plot. Beautiful Anna (Keira Knightley), wife of the steady yet dull Karenin (Jude Law) meets and begins a shattering affair with the dashing soldier Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). However, I'm getting ahead of myself. First, we set the scene: 1874 Imperial Russia. Anna's brother Oblonsky (Matthew Macfayden) was caught with the nanny by his wife Dolly (Kelly Macdonald). Despite Karenin's objections, Anna goes to her brother in an effort to help them patch things up. "Sin has a price, you may be sure of that," he tells his beauty.
From the cosmopolitan St. Petersburg she travels to the more rustic Moscow, and there meets Vronsky. He apparently becomes fascinated with her, and soon she with him. Thus they soon begin a tempestuous affair that has all the Russias talking. Anna is willing to risk everything for her lover, except perhaps the loss of her own child with Karenin. Despite the scandal, Anna remains married to Karenin, even while the child she bears is Vronsky's. Whatever hopes they have for a divorce do not come, and eventually a distraught Anna, having risked and lost her name, her reputation, and even Vronsky (to a beautiful princess), finds that life is not worth living, meeting her fate at the train station...
Oh, yes, there's also another plot woven in: that of idealistic land owner/Oblonsky's friend Levin and his love for Dolly's younger sister Kitty (Alicia Vikander). Kitty herself once loved Vronsky, but he turned away as soon as he met the gorgeous Anna...
It's certainly true that Knightley as Anna is ravishingly beautiful. Joe Wright, who has directed her to an Oscar nomination in Pride & Prejudice and worked with her also in Atonement has found a muse on which to paint his lavish costume dramas on. What Wright also decided to do in an effort to make this version of Anna Karenina (the 12th film adaptation if Wikipedia is to be believed with the better known versions having Greta Garbo--twice--and Vivien Leigh in the title role), he was going to call attention to the artifice of it all by having the story basically take place in a theater. In a similar vein, the performances, the staging, the movements were likewise more theatrical.
Perhaps that might have worked better than a straightforward adaptation of the Tolstoy novel. I say perhaps because early on in the film I couldn't help think this Anna Karenina looked like Russian literature as imagined by a Federico Fellini impersonator...and a bad one at that. Here is where Anna Karanina commits its greatest sin: it revolves so much around the visuals that the characters somehow become less human, their emotions less interesting.
If there is a way to describe Anna Karenina (as opposed to Anna herself) is that it is as cold as the Russian winters it goes through. I understand the book is good enough as it is; it doesn't need any extra flourishes. I get that Wright was attempting to say that Imperial Russia (in particular the aristocracy and government officials) lived their lives as if in a theater, performing for their contemporaries.
However, did that have to spill over into the performances as well? I suppose the biggest blame on this artifice belongs to Johnson (or Taylor-Johnson now). Granted, perhaps in the novel Vronsky was suppose to be callous, but given how Taylor-Johnson was in the film, I never understood why Anna would be remotely attracted to this weak and foolish boy (apart from the fact that he was pretty). Knightley follows him, though in fairness to her not to the degree Taylor-Johnson does in being overly theatrical.
Knightley actually makes Anna a bit more troubled, dare I say, more human (though again, her attraction and total bewitchment by Vronsky is unexplained). She does a better job than Tom Stoppard's script should allow her to.
As a digression, I noticed that Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery (aka Lady Mary) was in Anna Karenina very briefly near the end (probably fit it into her schedule between seasons). As good as Knightley was (and she was good), I can't help think that Dockery would have made a far better Anna because she A.) already has vast experience playing aristocrats, and B.) she would have been perhaps less of a known commodity than Knightley. In other words, while Dockery has gained fame, she hasn't achieved enough to make her a full-fledged star like Knightley. That being said, we might have seen ANNA up on the screen, not Keira Knightley AS Anna.
Out of the cast, only Jude Law really appears to understand he is, despite the trappings, in a film, one that requires a different style of acting than a theatrical production would. His Karenin was not a prude or a vindictive cuckold husband. Instead, he was a principled man who was both at a loss and furious that his wife, to whom he's been loyal to, would betray him and continue to call out to her lover rather than him. One senses that Law's Karenin was more sad that his wife would throw him over for a child and ruin herself.
Stylistically, I can't say anything really bad about Anna Karenina (apart from the fact that the theatrical trappings were at times distracting, while when we forget they were there the film improves). Jacqueline Durran's costumes were beautiful, Dario Marianelli's score was sumptuous, and the art direction by Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer were all lovely to admire. In short, Anna Karenina did not skimp on the production side that all good costume dramas have.
Here's the thing with Anna Karenina: I didn't hate it, but the reasons for what is suppose to be a doomed romance never materialized. It's hard to believe that Tolstoy's story failed. Rather, I think by emphasizing the theatricality of it all, Anna Karenina kept us at a distance, unable to fully wrap us in the passions that consumed Anna and Vronsky. I found it all efficient, but rather cold.
All great adaptations are brilliant, all less-than-great adaptations are failures in their own way.

YG Denies Allegations Surrounding WINNER's Lee Seung Hoon, But Heavily Criticized For It
WINNER Lee Seung-hoon. http://ansi9.tistory.com/56 (Photo: 안쓰/Wikimedia Commons CC BY 4.0)
YG Entertainment has dismissed allegations surrounding WINNER Lee Seung-hoon.
YG announced their official position via official blog YG-Life on June 15th and said, "It's a simple happening that Lee Seunghoon is the deputy director at YG's planning office, it's not true that he was involved in the unsavory allegations."
Han Seo-hee, who's well known for her marijuana scandal with Big Bang's TOP was found to be involved in B.I's drug scandal and reported the controversy to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission. Han Seo-hee pointed out that her connection to B.I was WINNER's Lee Seung-hoon, alleging that YG had attempted to bury the drug allegations surrounding iKON's B.I.
The controversy escalated as rumors spread that Lee Seung-hoon had the title of deputy director at YG's planning office. In fact, Kang Seung-yoon, who starred in MBC's 2017 "Oppa Thought" had shown a video introducing Lee Seung-hoon as a deputy director, raising questions about the allegations. YG, however, drew the line as a "simple happening."
"Lee Seung-hoon's deputy director title is just a nickname given to him because he usually presents many ideas, " YG explained. "The business card was also a one-time prop used in a video. The rumors that he was involved in a series of controversies surrounding B.I and Han Seo-hee is not true."
YG also addressed the allegations involving him and 'A' [Han Seo-hee] and said, "the unsavory allegations that I'm involved with 'A' are also not true and it will be revealed during police investigation. Please refrain from making speculative reports."
Meanwhile, YG is undergoing a period of change as the two brothers Yang Hyun Suk and Yang Min Suk stepped down from YG Entertainment. The two announced their resignations together on the 14th, saying the truth will be revealed.
Following are comments from Korean Netizens:
[+3,451, 38] Where did Yang Hyun Suk run away to????????? The only articles on the rankings are about Lee Seung-hoon. Yang Hyun Suk disappeared..
[+2,261, -31] The fact is Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil are behind Yang Hyun Suk. Why is it so hard to investigate him and "Burning Sun gate"????
[+1,532, -136] Yeah we know, you don't like Lee Seung-hoon~
[+1,429, -267] The fact that he was deputy is not important. Isn't it more important that he was the mediator for Han Seo-hee??
[+950, -65] Lee Seung-hoon isn't the person that holds the deputy director title at YG. Does it make sense for a company to give a second year idol the title of deputy director?
[+207, -4] All day the top rankings have been Seung-hoon. Yang Hyun Suk has disappeared ㅋㅋ
[+158, -10] Does it make sense for a 2nd year idol to be a director at a large company like YG?? ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ Really... the real ones are all running awayㅋ
[+128, -1] Using a weak kid to take the bullet so that you can run away...
