This section provides advice for businesses on preparing themselves to deal with unforeseen emergencies and disruption.
Whatever type of business you run the effects of serious operational disruption may threaten the long term viability of your enterprise if you haven't made solid contingency plans that you can fall back on. Business Continuity Management should be an integral part of your business planning, to ensure you can continue to deliver essential services and functions in the event of a disaster, then return to normal working as quickly as possible afterwards. This is the only way to safeguard your reputation, your customer and supplier relationships and the livelihood of your staff. Insurance often comes too late to protect these!
On the up side, preparing for serious disruptions can help you and your staff when dealing with lower level day-to-day difficulties. It might even improve your operational efficiency and reliability by highlighting the things that matter most.
Do your staff know what to do in an emergency?
Could you operate from a different location? Where would you go?
Would you be able to recover systems and data?
Are all parts of your business insured?
These are just a few of the many useful questions business continuity planning will ask you to consider. Put simply, it's about thinking ahead and planning for unexpected business interruptions, thereby reducing their impact and placing your business in the best possible position to weather the disruption and bounce back afterwards.
AND…. make sure your key suppliers have completed their Business Continuity Plans too!

The USVI Nightlife | Caribya!
You haven't even made it to the Virgin Islands, yet already your head is swimming with images of the many activities you plan on doing to pack your days full to the brim. But what about your night life? If you're like most visitors, you won't want to waste a second of your time, and planning how you'll spend your nights is one such way to avoid that.
Much of the nightly entertainment in the Virgin Islands is centered around the resort hotels. These resorts have numerous bars and restaurants on property, sometimes discos, and almost always put together some sort of night time entertainment for guests. This could range from a theatrical performance to a concert to a foam party, and could take place every night or only on weekends.
These events are sometimes open to the public, but there is no need to worry if you aren't staying at a super-sized resort. There are plenty of other options for after dark entertainment throughout the islands, though most would agree that if you are looking for the most entertaining nightlife, stick to the US Virgin Islands. Regardless of which island you're on, you'll quickly discover that nightlife centers mainly around bars and pubs that dance clubs.
For something a little on the classy side, head to Banana Bar (St. Thomas, USVI). Patrons tend to be above 30, and enjoy lounging around and listening to smooth jazz music while they sip on their beverages. Entertainment switches to piano bar style on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Cruise ship day-trippers usually head to the Bar at Paradise Point (St. Thomas) during their time on the island. Not only do they serve inexpensive food and drinks, but the building is located 740 feet above sea level and offers excellent views.
Beach Bar (St. John) is one of the Virgin Island's bars that is literally situated on the beach (near Cruz Bay). The bar serves up lots of fun mixed drinks, and opens up onto the beach where reggae bands perform nightly.
Better classified as a bistro than a bar, the Blue Moon (St. Coix) is another classy joint, with jazz ensembles providing live entertainment while patrons eat and drink.
Yet another sophisticated spot on St. Thomas is Epernay. Here, patrons can sample several wines and champagne while snacking on appetizers of sushi and caviar and indulging in sweet desserts.
Located right on the Christiansted Boardwalk, the Fort Christian Brew Pub (St. Croix) is one of only two microbreweries in the Virgin Islands. Along with house brews, they serve up lots of typical bar food.
The Greenhouse (St. Thomas) is a bar and restaurant situated right on the waterfront. The food is decent, happy hour usually consists of two-for-one specials, and they like to mix up the style of music played, so you never know what you're going to hear until you get there.
The Happy Buzzard (St. Thomas) is located along the waterfront, and serves beers, shooters, and high balls. Lots of fun special events take place here, and live performances happen on Tuesday nights.
Tired of the typical bar food of greasy fries and burgers? Island Time Pub (St. Thomas) serves up their brews with a slice of pie – pizza pie that is. There are 11 pizzas on the pub's menu, who's décor is nautically themed.
Larry's Landing (St. John) puts a fun spin on the bar atmosphere – here, the bartender lets you mix your own drink, and you can waste the night away watching sports and playing pool.
If what you're looking for is a fun, laid back environment, check out Hull Bay Hideaway (St. Thomas), a relative surf bar, Iggie's Bolongo (St. Thomas), or Turtle Rock Bar (St. Thomas). Both are known for cheap eats and live music; Iggie's Bolongo also has karaoke nights. The Red Hook Marina (St. John) is another especially relaxed bar, which also serves as a restaurant and offers consistent live music.
If you're planning a romantic night on the town, look into stopping by the Palms (St. Croix), where couples can snuggle up at tables overlooking the ocean.
Another bar for the "grown-up" crowd is XO Wine Bar (St. Thomas), where patrons can sample 30 wines while viewing the eclectic artwork hanging throughout the bar.
Many vacationers find the thrill of spending their nights playing cards, rolling dice, and pulling slots during their Caribbean vacation to be irresistible. While it is possible to visit a casino and participate in all of these activities in the Virgin Islands, the options are limited. The Divi Carina Bay Casino is located on St. Croix, USVI, and is the only casino throughout all the islands. Patrons must be 21-years-old or older to enter the casino, and most of the table games have a minimum bet of $5(USD).
There are plenty of fun ways to spend your nights when vacationing with little ones, or if the club and bar scene just isn't your thing.
Think of supporting the local arts community during your stay. Plan an evening tour of local art galleries, or take in a play. The Tillett Gardens Center for the Arts (St. Thomas) is a professional theater that presents four full length plays a year. Meanwhile, the Reichhold Center for the Arts (St. Thomas) puts on numerous productions throughout the year, and even has a gallery in the lobby with rotating exhibits.
And this isn't all. As you explore the Virgin Islands, you are certain to come across a bar or club that is hidden out of the way, that doesn't advertise, but still seems to be filled to capacity. Don't hesitate to check these places out as well. At the very least, you'll always have a story to tell about the quirky little bar you discovered on your trip to the Virgin Islands.

I bought a spray can of Kaboom toilet bowl cleaner Foamtastic, since I was intrigued with a product you spray into your toilet, instead of the more traditional squeeze bottles.
First, let's start with the claims this product makes.
It says it has "the power of Oxiclean stain fighters," so I am assuming it uses oxygen bleach as at least one of the cleaning agents for the product.
What it does, just like the normal Kaboom Foamtastic cleaner is sprays on blue and then turns white when it is supposed to be ready for scrubbing.
I was apprehensive that I would get this spray everywhere when trying to spray it in the toilet, such as on the seat or get overspray everywhere, but that really wasn't as big of a deal as I feared.
In fact, it was quite nice for coating the entire bowl, including under the rim. I think that more products should be made a spray for the toilet based on the ease of use I had with this product.
Unfortunately, the cleaner didn't actually work very well.
Yes, the product sprays on VERY blue. It was rather alarming how blue it was actually, but almost immediately it began turning white.
I didn't actually time it, but I would say that it turned completely white within about two minutes, and you could watch it turn progressively whiter and whiter.
whether it was really ready for me to scrub with a toilet brush, but I figured I would try it.
I really think it should have sat longer before I tried to clean the toilet, but it really didn't do much. I think most of the cleaning power came from me scrubbing, not from the cleaner.
I have a bit of a toilet ring on that particular toilet and it did absolutely nothing to remove it.
I will need to use another product, and let it soak longer, to see if I can get rid of the ring later.
Plus, as I sprayed it I was overwhelmed by the smell of the product, which was VERY strong, especially since it was in aerosol form. I had to turn on the exhaust fan to remove it from the bathroom.
Overall, I would not recommend this product. It has a great delivery system, but the actual cleaning power of this toilet cleaner is not very good.
If you have I'd love to hear your opinion of them, whether you agree with my assessment or not. You can share your review here of a toilet cleaner, of any type or brand, or read lots of other reviews that have already been submitted.
Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. How? Simply click here to return to toilet cleaner.
Let me start off by saying, I am an older, single woman. No one else lives here.
That being said, the Foamtastic cleaner you reviewed above is okay, but not great.
I do, however, LOVE the tablets that clean a bit with every flush.
In my community our water is so hard that we get that scaly ring around the waterline AND down the side of the bowl where the water comes in.
The tablets don't dissolve the ring/trail, but they do keep the bacteria from building up and turning them black, so they are barely visible.
I have tried pretty much everything in the marketplace and all the home remedies.
So far, I haven't found anything that will remove those chemicals.
Thanks so much for your review of the automatic toilet bowl cleaner version of this product.
As with many of them it is said to be a bleach based cleaning product. I am not sure how the addition of Oxiclean in that instance does much good, since oxygen bleach and chlorine bleach negate each other's effectiveness.
I am glad you like it though. I was obviously unimpressed with the Foamtastic spray on version.
Has anyone else used the scrub free toilet cleaning system? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the product. You can share your review here or read lots of other product reviews for cleaning your toilet.

Q: KQL - logical processing of an KQL query So, I was wondering what is the logical processing of an KQL query but couldn't find something relevant so far over the web.
If in SQL we have FROM clause first, ON second, OUTER clause third and so on, what would be the equivalent for it in KQL? Is it the same as is in SQL?

A: The way you query in Kusto is a bit different. You start with the dimension you want to query, which should be equivalent to the 'FROM' in SQL.
E.g.
StormEvents
| where isnotempty(EndLocation)
| summarize event_count=count() by EndLocation
| top 10 by event_count

for joins, the synthax is a bit different too. You may find good samples in the official doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/joinoperator?pivots=azuredataexplorer

Q: What's exactly the default stdin, stdout and stderr in a typical Linux system? I've heard in some occasions that the default stdin is the keyboard and that the default stdout and stderr is the screen, but I find that is pretty innacurate.
If that were absolutely accurate I think that a command like cp file /dev/stdin would never be allowed and that if stdout and stderr where the screen then I should be able to control exactly what it might display (which sounds pretty risky by the way).
So, I'm more into defining that the default stdin is the way the current active terminal has for entering text from the user, stdout the way the current active terminal has for showing text that is not an error on the execution of a command to the user and stderr the way the current active terminal has for showing text that is an error on the execution of a command to the user. But even them this might not be exactly accurate.
Is my definition correct about what specifically stdin,stdout and stderr are in a typical linux system or is there something that defines better what those things are?
Thanks for your attention.

Thousands of crosses, row on row. It is an arresting image that appears each November in Calgary along the city's Memorial Drive. The Field of Crosses is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of Southern Alberta and across Canada who gave their tomorrows for our today. Each year the five-acre memorial with more than 3500 crosses is created to pay tribute to our veterans, and those who did not make it home, with ceremonies at sunrise and sunset. And each day after the sun sets, Stampede volunteers wind their way among the crosses, straightening, tending, and honouring.
"We owe a debt to the men and women that serve our country, one we can never repay. We can honour their sacrifice by showing respect for those that serve. For me to go and straighten the crosses of these fallen heroes is a way for me to show gratitude to the soldiers and their families." Says Calgary Stampede volunteer Michael Wetherup, chair of the Western Agriculture Heritage committee.
Wetherup is just one of many Stampede volunteers from numerous committees who stepped up to support the maintenance of the Field of Crosses in 2020, the second year Stampede volunteers have been part of the initiative. Led by the Community Projects and Development (CPD) committee, each evening saw a dozen volunteers come out.
"In the 2 years, we have never had a challenge getting enough volunteers to sign up for the Field of Crosses," says Brian Johnston, of the CPD committee. "Each volunteer takes a very respectful responsibility to ensure the crosses are straight and looking impressive to those that come to share their thanks of the military men and women identified on each cross."
Their efforts have not gone unnoticed by those in attendance each evening.
"People recognize right away that we are from the Calgary Stampede, as they come up to us and tell us so, from our cowboy hats," says Joel McNichol, of the CPD committee. "It's almost as if they expect that we would be there and they are always excited to see us. It's a great opportunity to talk about the different kinds of volunteerism that exists in Calgary and to share this great initiative of honouring those who have sacrificed their lives for our rights and freedoms."
Each cross along Memorial Drive is placed in remembrance of someone from the Calgary and area community who gave their life for today's freedoms. While moving through the rows of crosses, the volunteers often take the time to read about each of those who are honoured. For Michael Wetherup, the experience became deeply personal.
"I found myself staring at a cross with my last name on it. It belonged to my uncle who was killed in action in 1944. My father and both of his older brothers went off to fight, and my dad was just 17 years old. At that age I was playing football and trying to get a date," he shared, adding, "I can't imagine the courage and commitment that it took to go to war. My father was a long time Stampede volunteer who taught me the importance of serving our community. Kneeling in front of my uncle's cross and reflecting on how all these brave souls' service to us cost them the loss of their youth, their innocence and some, their life; seeing how young they were was a sobering moment. I feel very proud and blessed to have been able to straighten my Uncle's cross and so many other fallen heroes.
It is through volunteer initiatives like these, that the Stampede family is able to connect with our community throughout the year.
"There are so many year-round initiatives that we can partner with that it goes way beyond what people perceive as the 10 days of Stampede; we are the 365 days of Stampede Spirit!" says McNichol.
And that Stampede Spirit may be especially welcome in these difficult times.
"2020 has been a challenging year for all of us and so many are feeling alone or isolated," says Wetherup. "By supporting events like this we have the opportunity to connect with others and continue to make our city and communities the kind of places we are proud to call home."

Film Review: The Informers
Considering that none of Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novels has ever been turned into a particularly successful movie, it's amazing that filmmakers continue to find backers for adaptations of his work.
AP, Stephen Farber
NEW YORK - OCTOBER 13: Actor Benjamin Walker attends the "Bloody Bloody Jackson" opening night after party at Brasserie 8 1/2 on October 13, 2010 in New York City.
More Sundance reviews
PARK CITY — Considering that none of Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novels has ever been turned into a particularly successful movie, it's amazing that filmmakers continue to find backers for adaptations of his work. Maybe Ellis' portrayals of hedonistic, drug-addled party people strike a nerve with Hollywood hotshots. But they're living in a very rarefied world. The latest Ellis adaptation, "The Informers" (based on his book from 1994), premiered at Sundance and will be released by new distributor Senator Films this spring. Despite some Oscar winners and nominees in the cast (including Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, and this year's contender, Mickey Rourke), this latest Ellis opus will not win him any new converts.
The film, set in Los Angeles 1983, has the added disadvantage of being released at the worst possible time. With the country reeling from its worst financial crisis in decades, who will want to watch the shenanigans of a bunch of spoiled rich kids and their parents? Most of the characters are empty-headed narcissists feeling sorry for themselves in their mansions, swimming pools and posh hotel suites.
Director Gregor Jordan has said that he was inspired by Robert Altman's "Short Cuts." "Informers" is another panoramic look at Los Angeles, but without Altman's or Raymond Carver's piercing insight. Characters include a Hollywood producer (Thornton), his estranged wife (Basinger), their pampered children and entourage, a degenerate rock star (Mel Raido), a TV journalist (Winona Ryder) and, at the other end of the social spectrum, a desperate doorman (the late Brad Renfro) and his vicious surrogate father (Rourke).
In the large ensemble, two performances stand out. Basinger captures the loneliness of an abused Hollywood wife struggling for a shred of dignity. And Renfro is moving as a lost soul living on the fringes of the dream factory. Perhaps we respond to these two performers because they are playing the only characters with the slightest vestige of decency.
The actors who play the beautiful young swingers — Jon Foster, Amber Heard, Lou Taylor Pucci and others — have done fine work in other movies, but they are completely wasted in these vacuous roles. The film is well shot by Petra Korner, but it's still one long wallow in sordidness. "Informers" is never erotic, rarely witty, and its survey of unbridled hedonism ultimately seems pointless. The film ends with a character dying of the newly identified AIDS virus, and perhaps it was meant as a cautionary tale. But it offers no lessons worth heeding.

North Americans are now adopting from Russia. Adoption organizations such as Children's Hope International are working with prospective adoptive parents who choose to adopt from Russia. There are children of all ages waiting for adoption in Russia. There are usually more boys than girls available for adoption as well as many children with special needs, as well as older children. Children's Hope International places children from orphanages and baby hospitals with adoptive parents and families. Adoption agencies such as this work with the prospective adoptive parents from the application process to the day when they actually hold their adoptive child in their arms.
Private or private domestic adoption refers to any adoption not arranged by an agency or organization. In this instance, a child is adopted when the adoptive parents find a birth mother or child privately. Instead of seeking the help of an adoption agency, some people choose to search for a child on their own.
When people choose to adopt, they are accepting quite a big challenge. Adoption requires patience and plenty of hard work. From the moment the decision is made to adopt, the prospective adoptive parents have begun the process. Once the decision is made, the prospective adoptive parents will be searching for adoption resources, information, individuals and groups who may be able to help them understand the adoption process. Adoption resources can help individuals decide which type of adoption they will use to find their special child. There are various types of adoption; private domestic adoption, public domestic adoption, private International adoption, special needs adoption and open adoption. Using adoption resources, prospective parents can learn the details about each adoption process.


I should be celebrating: one week! One week of daily blogging! Woohoo!
It's just the tired that everyone gets. The tired that wants to lie down, maybe on a beach, for a week. In this fantasy, I do not even have to get up to go to the bathroom.
But if I weren't tired, it would mean I didn't have a job, and if I didn't have a job, I wouldn't have a place to go every day. No matter that the place is right here, as I roll out of bed, keeping midgets who do not know better from self-destructing.
Long ago, in 2001, I worked, for five weeks, as a barista at a locally owned coffee shop in central Idaho. A gorgeous woman came in each morning, ordered green tea, sat at a table in the slanting morning light, drinking it, sometimes with a friend. Maybe it was her ptkm (pat-the-kitty moment. see post #1, 9/13/11). A man came in each morning, sat at the counter, swiveling his head toward women like her. One morning, they happened to be there at the same time. He struck up a conversation. He was a dot com millionaire of a particularly useless kind. Had bought up a few domain names he'd predicted would become popular. He'd been right. Now in his early thirties, he had all the money in the world and nowhere to go. He wasn't needed, it seemed, in any way. He sat in the coffee shop every morning waiting to be noticed. Waiting for someone to make him feel important. Waiting for some human contact. Waiting to feel real.
The gorgeous woman was polite but it went nowhere. Mr. Shrewd was there again the next morning, alone and trying not to be.
It is easy, as a mother of young children, to forget the human longing for physical contact, for the warmth of skin on skin, for the pressure of body on body, when every day is a dance of the toddlers, lifting, cleaning, hugging, kissing, swatting. It is easy to forget that yawning absence that occurs when we are not needed. It is easy to forget lots of things. I left my coffee on top of the car today, along with the keys. My phone dropped onto the bathroom floor and I didn't notice it was missing for an hour. We made it to music class, five minutes late, and no one was there–class is tomorrow.
What have you forgotten lately, and why?

Divine Singapore
Singapore has absorbed culture from every corner of the earth.
A Buddhist prays & burns incense at the Tooth Relic Temple.
Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian and North and South Indian people make up the bulk of the cultural fabric here. Some are new to Singapore, while others have made the city home for generations. Though many have left home for good, they've brought their culture, traditions and customs with them. This is part of what makes Singapore so rad. And I thought Canada was diverse.
Coming from North America where Christianity dominates the religious landscape, it has been enlightening experience visiting the array of different temples in Singapore. Specifically the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum in Chinatown and Sri Veeramakaliamman in Little India have been the most impressive. Architecturally speaking, they are stunning — inside and out.
They are a must-see if just visiting Singapore for a few days.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum in the Chinatown section of Singapore. The tooth of Buddha is said to be housed here.
Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum
I stumbled upon the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown on my second day in Singapore and didn't realize its significance until researching it afterwards. Like its name suggests, the temple reportedly houses the tooth of Buddha, which was unearthed from an abandoned pagoda in Myanmar in 1980. However, several other temples in countries throughout Asia make the same claim, including Japan, Taiwan and Sri Lanka.
One of hundreds of Buddha statues at the Singapore Tooth Temple.
The most notorious of the Buddha teeth resides at a temple in Sri Lanka. Retrieved after Buddha's cremation in India, the relic became a powerful object, with kings using the chomper to justify their rules of kingdoms. Wars were fought and people died in pursuit this toothy treasure. I feel like even the world's best dentists would have trouble verifying this. Nonetheless, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is a sight to behold and the legend is a fun story to contemplate.
Hundreds of golden Buddha statues and figures are positioned throughout the temple and people of all nationalities come and go to pray. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene. Incense is burned as a religious custom and its sweet smell fills the entire building.
Visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple's website here.
Worshippers rush to take part in the sacred fire custom at Sri Veeramakaliamman.
Sri Veeramakaliamman
Worshippers ring the bells at the temple's doorway to announce their entry and exit to the gods.
I visited Sri Veeramakaliamman in Little India on a Sunday, a popular day of worship for the temple. Even in my approach of the temple, Little India was exploding with people. I felt like I was in New Delhi. Such an enormous crowd hasn't surrounded me since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Even then, Little India's numbers still dwarfed the flood of people on Granville Street at the height of the Olympic celebrations.
I spent nearly two hours walking around in complete awe of the religious customs that were unfolding around me at Sri Veeramakaliamman. In direct contrast to the calm ambiance of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, there hundreds of worshippers crowding the temple's corridors. It was hot and sweaty. Camera in hand, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, I was nervous to enter, fearing I was underdressed and that my presence as an outsider would be scorned.
However, I was encouraged by a greeter near the entrance to come in. He informed me pictures were allowed. So I removed my shoes — as is custom at most temples in the city — rang the bells hanging near the entrance to announce my arrival to the gods and began to snap away.
One of the priests at Sri Veeramakaliamman.
Indian priests blessed patrons with fire, while those who came to worship brought stacks of bananas as gifts to the gods. And my, does Hinduism have a plethora of gods. People lined up to chant prayers at dozens of shrines, all occupied by different gods and deities.
Let me tell you about my favorite Hindu goddess, Kali, in my next Sleepless in Singapore post.
The temple was built in the late 1800s and has undergone several additions and renovations over the years. Sri Veeramakaliamman is currently undergoing a massive renovation as we speak, too. I donated $10 to the cause and as a token of my appreciation, I was allowed to write my name, along with my family members' names on a small brick that will be placed under the foundation of the new development. My grandma on my father's side, a devout Catholic, might be a little perturbed to know her name made it on this brick, but she doesn't need to know and the act is an apparent token of good luck. Fingers crossed on that front.
All in all, visiting Sri Veeramakaliamman was by far the most intensely unique religious experience I've witnessed in my life.
Visit Sri Veeramakaliamman's website here to discover more about this beautiful building's equally beautiful history.

A vox pop conducted by The Bug shows conclusively that former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is to blame for recent disasters within the federal Liberal Party including the Wentworth by-election loss.
The Bug took to the streets just north of Brisbane, specifically Gympie Road at Strathpine, and randomly chose a number of people walking past to ask them who they felt was to blame for the instability and massive loss of public confidence that has followed the downfall of Mr Turnbull.
Turnbull is to blame for trying to respond in reasonable and moderate ways to the demands of the Australian community instead of jumping to the tune of the conservatives in his party and the media.
When I was a Queensland copper we had lots of grubs like Turnbull who always had this namby pamby view that you should always do what's right instead of doing what's far right.
As a woman I never liked Malcolm Turnbull. He was just so weak. I want a strong and forceful leader, someone who'll lock boat people up — young children included — and throw away the key. It's the toddlers you have to keep an eye on because they'll grow up to be the terrorists who'll threaten our nation's cherished values including our open and welcoming attitude towards the needy, the vulnerable, and the downtrodden.
Je blamez Monsieur Turnbull pour la storm de merde dans le Partie de Liberal. Il est une hole d'arse.

Q: Class has no attribute 'tk' I am incredibly new to working with GUIs (and Python in general) so I decided to attempt the hardest thing I could possibly think of in order to learn the code better.  I am designing a game from scratch by myself (it's pretty much a Pokemon rip-off but I have no intention of making any of it publicly available and everything is pulled from open-sources such as bulbapedia).  I'm not having too much trouble with the coreEngine code yet; however, I tried to take a break from the Engine and work on the GUI for a bit.  I decided to use Tkinter, mostly because I don't know anything about GUIs or any other GUI modules in python, and have run into a problem just a few lines in the script.  My code is as follows:
from Tkinter import *
import battleEngine
import openingSequence
from classes import Pokemon
from classes import movesList

def donothing():
    print "Doesn't do anything."

class gameWindow(Frame):
    def displayMenu(self):
        gameMenu = Menu
        fileMenu = Menu(gameMenu, tearoff=0)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="New Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Load Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Save Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Save Game as...", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=exit())

    def __init__(self):
        self.displayMenu()

inGame = gameWindow()

inGame.mainloop()

Whenever I call this code, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:/path/to/file/pokemonGui.py", line 26, in <module>
        inGame = gameWindow()
    File "C:/path/to/file/pokemonGui.py", line 24, in __init__
        self.displayMenu()
    File "C:/path/to/file/pokemonGui.py", line 15, in displayMenu
        fileMenu = Menu(gameMenu, tearoff=0)
    File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2642, in __init__
        Widget.__init__(self, master, 'menu', cnf, kw)
    File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2027, in __init__
        BaseWidget._setup(self, master, cnf)
    File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2005, in _setup
        self.tk = master.tk
AttributeError: class Menu has no attribute 'tk'

Process finished with exit code 1

I'm confident this is simply my lack of understanding with Tkinter and GUIs and Menus; however, I can't seem to figure this out... I'm just trying to create a basic drop-down menu to go across the top of the screen (File, Edit, View, Help, etc...) but I have no clue how to do that...

A: Try this:
from Tkinter import *
import battleEngine
import openingSequence
from classes import Pokemon
from classes import movesList

def donothing():
    print "Doesn't do anything."

class gameWindow(Frame):
    def displayMenu(self):
        gameMenu = Menu()
        fileMenu = Menu(gameMenu, tearoff=0)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="New Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Load Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Save Game", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Save Game as...", command=donothing)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=exit())

    def __init__(self):
        self.displayMenu()

inGame = gameWindow()

inGame.mainloop()

The only difference being in line 12(including empty lines) where gameMenu should = Menu().

Robinhood making hailed return to Concacaf competition
S.V. Robinhood
Suriname's Robinhood meets for a team photo before facing Real Hope of Haiti in the Concacaf League playoffs on May 19, 2019, at the East Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.
KINGSTON, Jamaica – For the first time since 1994, Robinhood will be competing on one of the biggest stages in Concacaf club competition.
The Suriname club punched its ticket to the 2019 Scotiabank Concacaf League thanks to its 3-1 penalty shootout win over Real Hope of Haiti in Sunday's Concacaf League playoffs following a 1-1 draw between the two sides.
Robinhood's qualification for the SCL evokes great memories of its performances in past Concacaf club competition.
There was a spell of time when Robinhood was one of the biggest clubs in the region.
Over a 11-year period from 1972 until 1983, the club reached the final of the Concacaf Champions Cup five times, finishing as runner-up each time and with three of those finals separated by just one goal.
While Robinhood also took home six domestic titles in that 11-year span, it was their performances in Concacaf play that impressed the masses.
Their fine play continued into the latter part of the 1980s and into the 1990s, with appearances in the 1986 and 1988 Concacaf Champions Cup, reaching the semifinals in the latter.
That was then followed by berths in the 1990, 1992, 1993 and 1994 Concacaf Champions Cup, including a spirited run to the Final Round of the 1993 edition in which it finished fourth.
Nevertheless, Robinhood's run to five finals and its near-miss in 1993 is a distinction worthy of a place in Concacaf lore.
And now, 25 years later, a new generation of the club's players will be looking to write their own history, beginning with this summer's SCL.

(2011). Private copying and fair compensation |Abstract=Following the Information Society Directive of 2001 (introducing the concept of "fair compensation" for private copying into EU Law), total collection from levies on copying media and equipment in the EU tripled, from about €170m to more than €500m per annum. Levy schemes exist now in 22 out of 27 Member States (with only the UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus and Luxembourg remaining outside). Despite their wide adoption, levy systems are little understood, both in respect of their rationale and their economic consequences. Tariffs are increasingly contested in court, leading to a large gap between claimed and collected revenues. The European Commission has announced "comprehensive legislative action" for 2012. This report offers the first independent empirical assessment of the European levy system as a whole. The research consolidates the evidence on levy setting, collection and distribution; reviews the scope of consumer permissions associated with levy payments; and reports the results of three product level studies (printer/scanners, portable music/video/game devices, and tablet computers), analysing the relationship between VAT, levy tariffs and retail prices in 20 levy and non–-levy countries. |Authentic Link=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/310183/ipresearch-faircomp-201110.pdf |Link=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/310183/ipresearch-faircomp-201110.pdf |Reference=Handke and Towse (2007);Hargreaves (2011);Liebowitz and Watt (2006); |Plain Text Proposition=There are dramatic differences between countries in the methodology used for identifying leviable devices, setting tariffs, and allocating beneficiaries of the levy. There are levies on blank media in 22 EU countries, on MP3 players in 18 countries, on printers in 12 countries, on personal computers in 4 countries. Revenues collected per capita vary between €0.02 (Romania) and €2.6 (France). The distribution of levy revenues to recording artists is less than €0.01 per album.These variations cannot be explained by an underlying concept of economic harm to rightholders from private copying.The scope of consumer permissions under the statutory exceptions for private copying within the EU vary, and generally do not match with what consumers ordinarily understand as private activities.In levy countries, the costs of levies as an indirect tax are not always passed on to the consumer. In competitive markets, such as those for printers, manufacturers of levied goods appear to absorb the levy. There appears to be a pan-European retail price range for many consumer devices regardless of levy schemes (with the exception of Scandinavia).In non-levy countries, such as the UK, a certain amount of private copying is already priced into retail purchases. For example, right holders have either explicitly permitted acts of format shifting, or decided not to enforce their exclusive rights. Commercial practice will not change as a result of introducing a narrowly conceived private copying exception. A more widely conceived exception that would cover private activities that take place in digital networks (such as downloading for personal use, or non-commercial adaptation and distribution within networks of friends) may be best understood not as an exception but as a statutory licence. Such a licence could include state regulated payments with levy characteristics as part of a wider overhaul of the copyright system, facilitating the growth of new digital services. |FundamentalIssue=4.

Economically and socially, minimum acceptance entails that creators are willing to create; that publishers and producers are willing to invest; and that consumers remain willing to buy (and that assumes that they understand some form of legal exclusion as justified).For the UK, a key question is if new exceptions, or changes to the scope of exceptions and limitations, can be introduced without triggering the European requirement of fair compensation, and therefore an assessment of harm.49 A second question relates to the effects of European levy schemes on the Single Market, and how the UK might respond to any proposed regulation of the European copyright system. There appears to be no economic case for adding another layer of licensing on copyright transactions if limited to the narrow meaning of private copying covered by the "first sale" argument. Within the constraints of EU law, the UK's economically efficient option appears to be the de minimis argument (= no harm): a certain amount of copying in already priced into the first retail purchase. The discussion of a statutory licence, or a voluntary licence under state supervision, moves beyond allocative efficiency to consumer issues (including higher norms of privacy), and the reward of creators (equity in distribution). The arguments for a levy scheme of fair compensation here are distinct, but overlap in complex ways with the justification for copyright itself. |Description of Data=The study takes its data from several sources, including submissions from 7 of the key stakeholder collecting societies and representative bodies in the copyright industries.

Drunken Driving (DWI) Law Challenged
Virginia General District Court Judge Ian M. O'Flaherty has found that the state's DWI laws make some unconstitutional assumptions.
Prosecutors argue that Virginia's DWI law creates "rebuttable presumptions," which means that the defendant has the chance to try to prove them wrong. Judge O'Flaherty says that the DWI law improperly shifts the burden of proof from the government to the citizen.
Citing a 1985 U.S. Supreme Court ruling the judge says that requiring defendants to do or say anything in their defense violates the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. In criminal cases, such as DWI, prosecutors must prove defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. On the other hand, defendants are not required to do or say anything to defend themselves because the burden of proof falls entirely upon prosecutors. Judge O'Flaherty says the Fifth Amendment "is an absolute protection against requiring the defendant to say or do anything in the course of a trial…."
In Western democracies, defendants are presumed innocent until proven otherwise. It's only in dictatorships and police states that defendants are presumed guilty and must prove their innocence.
The DWI law presumes that a driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 as estimated by a breath alcohol machine is intoxicated and guilty. In reality, many people are not intoxicated at that level. Research has demonstrated that about one-fourth of alcoholics at the higher .10 level show no clinical signs of intoxication because they have developed a tolerance for alcohol.
Judge O'Flaherty also questions the presumption that a BAC reading taken an hour and one-half or longer after an arrest, when most such readings are taken, is the same as it was at the time of arrest. The Kentucky Supreme Court has recently overturned a case that was based on that very assumption.
Criminal law professor Ronald J. Bacigal of the University of Richmond says "I think he's exactly right. There are U.S. Supreme Court cases saying you can't relieve the government of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what a presumption does."
The head of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers' DUI committee, Steve Oberman, says that similar arguments about the law's presumptions have been successful in courts across the country. For example, state supreme courts in Massachusetts and Colorado have ruled exactly as O'Flaherty has done on the issue of presumptions in drunken driving cases.
The Washington Post reports that "The judge is well regarded by lawyers who practice before him and has received high marks in Fairfax Bar Association evaluations."
It's very important to prevent drunken driving and save lives. But it's also essential that we don't violate basic constitutional rights of citizens in trying to do so.
The matter is expected to be argued before the Virginia Supreme Court.

Drinking AFTER Driving Illegal?

Sheep may be breed for a number of different reasons such as wool, milk and meat. Farming sheep for meat requires sheep breeds grow fast and have good carcasses. Sheep that fall in this category are Dorper and Hampshire sheep. These 2 sheep are known to be resistant to very hot weather plus parasites. They also grow faster and in a short space can fatten up.
1 . You must understand that there is a difference between feeder lambs and slaughter lambs. Feeder lamb are lambs that are brought whilst they are still young. They are feed and raised before they are killed. On the other hand slaughter lambs are bought to be immediately killed.
2. When you want to farm sheep for revenue factors that play a role in success are the price of feeding, the lamb growth rate and the marketplace prices at that given time. If your lambs grow quicker it means that they will consume less food thus reducing the cash you will spend in feeding them.
4. Sheep meat has different varieties and cuts. The meat is sorted in 3 different sections that are the loin, hind quarter and the forequarter. Lamb cuts are scrag end, middle neck, best end, loin, chump chops, lower leg, shoulder and breast. Once chopping the lamb you cut from the steak to the loin and the shoulders.


You will recall that in October, 2013, Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon had gone to the press to say that her estranged husband, movie producer and director, and fellow actress, Stella Damasus, had seized her son, David, and that she has not seen nor spoken to the boy since 2011.
Many movie watchers and sympathizers rallied behind her, castigating Stella and Daniel to no end. In fact, many were ready to take up arms against Stella, calling her many unprintable names.
But the man in the eyes of the storm, Daniel, has come out to debunk all Doris said. In a letter he allegedly wrote to PastorItuahIghodalo, the founder and GeneralOverseer of the TrinityHouse, a mega church located in VictoriaIsland, Lagos, Daniel explained that his ex-wife is a pathological liar, serial adulteress and is only playing on people's psyche to get their empathy.
After the letter, Daniel provided text message evidence to show that Doris has been in constant communication with him and her son, and that he even offered to pay her flight ticket to the United States of America twice a year to see her son but that what she says in public are quite different from what they discuss in private.
Read the letter DanielAdeminokan wrote to PastorIghodalo.
See a recorded version of their chats on May 3, 2013.
Now we have heard from Daniel and it is all square. What next do we expect?


The Wedding of the Year is coming closer. My mother has a big decision to make.
Which of the two receptions for the marriage of William and Kate, will Mummy attend?
The first is a lovely luncheon at Buckingham Palace for Family and Close Friends immediately after the Marriage given by the Queen.
The second is the Rocking Good Time, or more contemporary celebration with dancing and feasting given by Prince Charles.
Oh, this is a tough one for Mummy. She will have to attend the Queen's celebration. I on the other hand, will hope for an invitation for the Prince's party. Rumor has it some top shelf stars will be there. Oh how fun! I will get to rub shoulders with the Beckhams! David being a good chum of Will's.
Kate is asking that the Wedding Cake be totally Organic! Hope Prince Charles is happy! Both Kate & Prince Charles are so very into all things Organic and Free Range! We will be honored to taste and I will keep you posted!
Newsflash: Kate's Mum and sister, Pippa spent 2 hours at Bruce Oldfield's design showroom. He was a favorite of Diana! Looks like Bruce might be the ONE for the dress! I remember buying there on Beauchamp Place�.ahh love it.
Mummy is totally confused and has a call into one of the Queens ladies in waiting. She said she needs "guidance" on what to wear, how to garner two invitations, etc.
Did you order your Wedding Tea Towels and Wedding China?
I do so hope Kate still has my cell.
