Cooking gas, kerosene prices hike: Consumers groan, want government's intervention
Some residents of Ado village and its environs in Nasarawa State have appealed to the Federal Government to find a lasting solution to the high cost of cooking gas and kerosene.
The residents, who made the appeal in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said they were unable to cope with the situation in addition to other financial responsibilities.
They urged the government to take drastic measures to crash the prices of the products in the interest of the masses.
Many households worried that the cost of the products had risen beyond their reach, urging urgent steps to make them affordable.
NAN recalled that marketers of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), otherwise called cooking gas had expressed concerns over the supply shortage and persistent increase in the price of cooking gas and cylinders in Nigeria.
The marketers had warned that the 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas, which then sold at between N7,500 and N8,000 could rise to N10,000 by December if the government fails to address the crisis.
The marketer blamed the hike in the price of the product on the recently introduced import charges and Value Added Tax (VAT) by the Federal Government.
Mrs Janeth Raymond, a resident explained that the increase in prices of cooking energy had become additional challenge to her, coupled with the high prices of food stuff in the market.
"Honestly, I find it very difficult to cope with. Imagine the 12.5 kg of gas we were buying N5,000 before, is now being sold for N8, 000, and you cannot use it up to two months before it finishes, talk more of kerosene.
"Kerosene now is almost N400 per a litre and for you to use a litre of kerosene to cook in the house, you can only cook two meals and before you know it finishes and the N400 is gone, then you will be looking for another N400 to buy another one.
According to her, it has not been easy as she has undertaken some of such little responsibilities to assist her husband, whom she said has other major roles to play at home so as to make things easier for them.
Raymond, therefore, made an appeal to the Federal Government to try as much as it could to reduce the prices of both cooking gas and the kerosene, even as Nigerians were discouraged to use firewood for cooking.
"From the news I heard, I learnt the hike came as a result of the increase in the recently introduced import charges and Value Added Tax (VAT) by the Federal Government.
"Whatever the case may be, I am appealing to the government to consider that it is the poor masses that are mostly affected," she said.
On her part, Mrs Gladys Bernard said the most painful thing to her was non-durability of cooking gas, a condition she was wondering if gas dealers were selling fake gas now a day.
According to Bernard, you will buy gas today and it cannot last any longer and the situation has aggravated the suffering of the people.
"I don't know if gas is purely air these days, gas is no longer lasting. Before, I used to fill 6kg at N3, 000, but now it is sold at N4, 200 and I cannot afford it anymore. What I do now is to fill what I can afford.
"I used to fill the gas up, but today, I can only tell the seller to fill what I can afford," she said.
Mrs Victoria Agbor, another resident in her tale of lamentation on kerosene, explained that the price of the product was becoming too high for her to cope with.
According to Agbor, one litre at the filling station now is N350, while at home (black market) is N400 per litre unlike she used to buy at the rate of N200 or N250.
She said things were really tough for her and the family, considering other financial issues for her.
She said that that due to the daily rise in the prices of cooking energy, she had resorted to the use of firewood and charcoal to cook.
She, however, she lamented that even charcoal and firewood were gradually getting out of hand as N300 charcoal could not sustain her in a day.
"Things are really difficult for me and my family. I don't know how long Nigerians are going to endure this hardship, government should intervene please," she said.
Mrs Patience Gabriel, another consumer, said it was her belief that the Federal Government had the power to do the right thing by intervening in a difficult situation like what Nigerians were facing.
"The governments should really look into it, I believe they have the power to do whatever they want to do in the petroleum industry.
"Because it's really annoying that we have the resources within the country, yet citizens cannot benefit from what they have," she said.
Others interviewed were of the same opinions, appealing to the Federal Government for intervention as it was becoming unbearable to them, coupled with children's school fees, house rents and other financial responsibilities.

Major General Sir Sahib Singh Sokhey FNA, FASc (15 December 1887 – 24 October 1971) was an Indian biochemist, a British Indian Army general and a military physician who was also a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of the Indian Parliament, from 3 April 1952 to 2 April 1956.

Early life and career
Sahib Singh Sokhey was born in Amritsar, Punjab on 15 December 1887 to Sardar Jwala Singh Sokhey, a civil engineer who worked on various irrigation projects in the Punjab and in Burma, then part of British India. A brilliant student, he completed his initial studies at the Central Medical School and at Government College, Lahore, taking an honours degree in physics and chemistry from the University of the Punjab in 1905. After a year at the Lahore Medical College (now King Edward Medical University), he went to the University of Edinburgh in 1907. At Edinburgh, he completed his MBBS degree in 1911, followed by an MA in economics in 1912.

In 1913, Sokhey sat the Indian Medical Service (IMS) examinations, passing first. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the IMS on 26 July 1913. During the First World War, he served in France on the Western Front, and was promoted to captain on 26 July 1916 (antedated to 1 September 1915). After the war, he served in Mesopotamia until 1921, when he returned to India. He subsequently commanded the Indian Military Hospital at Kolkata for two years.

Medical researcher
In 1923, he was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship for post-graduate studies abroad. From 1923 to 1925, he studied clinical biochemistry under noted American biochemist Otto Folin at Harvard University, subsequently studying in Toronto under Nobel laureate John MacLeod, a co-discoverer of insulin. He was promoted to major on 26 January 1925, and completed an MD from Edinburgh the same year, also conducting research on nutrition at Trinity College, Cambridge under the distinguished biochemist and future Nobel laureate Frederick Gowland Hopkins.

Following his return to India in mid-1925, Major Sokhey was appointed an assistant director at the Haffkine Institute in Mumbai on 18 August of that year. His earliest research at the Institute involved the biochemistry of coeliac disease, then known as "sprue." In connection with this research, Sokhey conducted clinical studies of the metabolisms of men and women in Mumbai, to compare their metabolisms with those of Europeans. In 1926, he established a Biochemistry Department at the institute, becoming its first Indian director in 1932. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel on 26 January 1933. As Director, Colonel Sokhey expanded the scope of the institute, establishing an Entomology Department (1938), a Serum Department (1940) to manufacture vaccines, antitoxins and snake antivenin, a Chemotherapy Department (1940) to conduct research into sulfa and synthetic pharmaceuticals, a Pharmacology Department (1943) and a Nutrition Department (1944).

From 1932 through the Second World War, Sokhey primarily focused on expanding the institute's vaccine production and development capacity and improving the quality of its various vaccines and antitoxins. Under Sokhey's supervision, the Institute initiated studies on antibiotic therapies for plague, beginning with sulfathiazole in 1939 and continuing with tetracyclines and related antibiotics during and after the Second World War. In 1943, due to wartime needs, the Indian Medical Service was merged with the Indian Medical Department and the Indian Hospital and Nursing Corps, becoming the Indian Army Medical Corps. Sokhey was promoted to colonel in the newly reorganised service branch on 15 December 1944 (seniority from 26 January 1936).

Towards the end of the war, Sokhey established pilot plants at the institute to manufacture sulfathiazole, paludrine, chloroquine and penicillin. From 1944 to 1946, he served on the Pharmaceutical and Drug Committee of the government Planning Department. He also served on a committee tasked with establishing the National Chemical Laboratory and the National Physical Laboratory. In 1946, he was among the key individuals involved in establishing a penicillin manufacturing plant, which later became Hindustan Antibiotics. On 14 August 1947, the day before Indian independence, Sokhey was promoted to the local rank of major-general in his role as director of the Haffkine Institute, subsequently retiring from the Indian Army.

World Health Organization and later life
In 1949, General Sokhey retired from the directorship of the Haffkine Institute after a 17-year tenure. During a visit to Bombay, Brock Chisholm, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, met Sokhey; impressed by his achievements, he offered Sokhey the post of Assistant Director General (Technical Services) in the WHO, with the responsibility for epidemiology, health statistics and biological standardisation. Sokhey served in this position in Geneva until 1952, when he completed his term and returned to India. In 1952, he was nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, retiring a few years later. In 1953–54, Sokhey obtained the assistance of Soviet officials to build a large public-sector pharmaceutical plant in India, today known as Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited (IDPL).

In his retirement, Sokhey chaired the All-India Peace Council and the Pharmaceutical and Drugs Committee of the CSIR. In 1962, he became a personal advisor to the Director-General of the CSIR, Syed Hussein Zahir, and was appointed an Emeritus Scientist in 1965. He died at his New Delhi residence on 24 October 1971, aged 83.

Personal life
Sokhey was married to Leila Roy (1899-1947), a famous kathak dancer known as "Madame Menaka." Lady Sokhey spent much of her career travelling across India and Europe with her dance troupe. Her death in 1947 left Sokhey a lonely widower. The couple had no children, and Sokhey never remarried.

Sokhey was a voracious reader, with a good understanding of classical Indian art. A close friend of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, he was a convinced leftist with a deep admiration for Communism and the Soviet Union.

Honours
Sokhey was a founding Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (1935), and of the Indian Academy of Sciences. For his achievements as director of the Haffkine Institute, especially in the area of vaccine production and development, Sokhey was knighted in the British 1946 New Year Honours list, and was formally invested with his knighthood by the Viceroy, Lord Wavell, at Viceroy's House (now Rashtrapati Bhavan) in New Delhi on 9 March 1946. He was awarded the Stalin Prize by the Soviet government in 1947.

While urgency may be lacking at points, it more than makes up for it in the comic romp stakes.
Valuable yet ultimately dull historical comedy.
There are some great moments of good old-fashion comedy with the most humorous moments in the sub-text, as class and gender politics notably simmered under the surface, only to be revealed in jest.
A love-letter to 19th-century satire that struggles to translate to stage.

PhD studentship - Identifying biomarkers that may affect diabetes comorbidity
University of Ulster (UU)
Derry~Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom; Oxford, South East England, United Kingdom
Posted about 1 month agoExpires on February 07, 2020
It is estimated that 415 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes which will rise to 642 million by 2040 1. Ninety percent of cases are type 2 diabetes (T2D). Treatment of secondary complications/comorbidities accounts for ~75% of the costs associated with T2D in the NHS 2. T2D is associated with hypertension (76%), arthritis (55%), coronary disease (28%), neuropathy (21%) and renal disease (18%) 3; 47% of patients suffer 3 or more comorbidities.
Comorbid patients are routinely excluded from clinical trials, limiting our understanding of how treatments affect comorbidities 4. Comorbid patients commonly receive separate, fragmented treatment for each morbidity, with implications for cost and quality of care 5. It is not well understood (i) whether the association between comorbidities is driven by pathophysiological or lifestyle factors and (ii) whether one morbidity is causative of another or whether they share common causes.
There is a vast potential to grow our understanding of comorbidity and develop diagnostics, prognostics and interventions that can improve the quality of care for comorbid patients. Here, we will focus on the pathophysiology of comorbidity and establish the relationship between T2D and its key comorbidities.
Aim 1: Profile comorbidity in populations representative of the UK.
Extract clinical and omics data from UK Biobank (which does not cover Northern Ireland) and Ulster Genome Project, a large patient cohort study conducted by the Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine
Prepare multidimensional analysis of comorbidity in T2D and identify significant morbidity combinations.
Aim 2: Model the pathway biology of the key comorbidities.
Use published literature, online databases and systems biology tools to map out the known molecular pathways that connect comorbidities.
Develop and evaluate dynamic systems biology models of relevant molecular pathways.
Aim 3: Identify genes/proteins/pathways associated with comorbidity development and targets contained therein.
Undertake a gene set analysis of genome/proteome-wide association studies to determine SNPs/proteins/pathways statistically associated with development of significant morbidity combinations.
Identify how loss-of-function/gain-of-function SNPs in genes or elevated/reduced protein/pathway activity drive comorbidity development.
Identify SNPs in genes or binding sites in proteins that can be targeted to counter comorbidity development, therapeutically moderating comorbidity development.
The output of the project will be sets of predictive biomarkers of comorbidity and hypotheses of how these may be targeted therapeutically. Biomarkers may be patentable and Ulster University (UU) has experience of securing Biomarker Intellectual Property.
The student will be placed at Ulster University (UU, 50% of time) and at Novo Nordisk (NN, 50%), including time at NN Research Centre Oxford (NNRCO) and at NN headquarters near Copenhagen. They will experience research in academic and industrial environments, with UU supporting data exploration and systems analysis/modelling (aims 1 and 2) and NNRCO supporting the analysis driving therapeutic target identification (aim 3). Comorbidity is an embryonic biomedical field and all aspects of the project will be novel and can lead to scientific publication.

Q: Rails Mongoid form_for Not Using the Correct Verb I've got an embedded resource inside of a singular resource (/profile/workout) and am having some problems with the form_for helper.
I've defined the following helper, since profile is just based off the current_user (just redirects to the right url):
def workout_path(*args)
    profile_workout_path(*args)
end

I've got the following model:
class Workout

  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  field :name, type: String

  embedded_in :user
  embeds_many :movements
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :movements
end

  @workout = current_user.workouts.build
  @workout.movements.build
end

    root :to => 'home#index'
  end

  root :to => "home#index"
  devise_for :users
  resources :users do
  end

  resource :profile do

  end
end

and form

    = f.submit "Create"

When I visit the url: http://localhost:3500/profile/workouts/50b99b70f0f800cd53000002/edit, the form has the following header:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/profile/workouts/50b99b70f0f800cd53000002" class="edit_workout" id="edit_workout_50b99b70f0f800cd53000002" method="post">

It gets the right id (edit_<model>_<id>), but the wrong method (post, should be put), also, the submit button says Create instead of Update.  The form works correctly, and updates the workout.

A: The method will always be POST, not PUT - your browser does not support PUT natively, so Rails hacks around this by using a hidden form field inside the form with _method=PUT. See here for some documentation on this.
also, your own code says = f.submit "Create" so it's no wonder the button says 'Create'.

As such, the Triune nature of God is also a central theme of scripture, even though, as you pointed out, the 'term Trinity' is a coined phrase. (Of course, even "Christian" is somewhat of coined phrase, lest we deviate too far down that path).
The problem many have with the 'Trinity' is the lack a frame-of-reference for a three-in-one and one-in-three being (but, then, who really comprehends God?). Even physics battle the concept by recognizing that two things cannot occupy the same space. While we similarly have no 'tangible' frame-of-reference for the Holy Spirit, folks tend to have less heartburn with God's presence in the indwelling Holy Spirit. This may be because man's direct accountability to the Holy Spirit remains a little more ambiguous in the minds of many.

You should avail yourself of ANE religion and the concept of the Divine Council as well as the term Elohim and redaction. As such you would not make such erroneous conclusions.

I don't disagree with anything the Bible has to say about the Father, Son or Holy Ghost. I could quote from the Bible to support my belief in the Godhead just as effectively as someone else could quote from it to support his belief in the Trinity. What bothers me is that my belief in what the Bible has to say about God is insufficient, according to some Christians. In addition to believing what the Bible has to say about God, I must also believe what the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds say about God. If these Creeds add nothing to what the Bible teaches, why must I buy into them?
God's word does not teach any sort of "trinity"!
There is only ONE place in all of God's word that explains how The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit are one....and it's explained by Jesus Christ Himself.
Once you understand what Jesus tells us, then we will know not only how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one...but we will also know how ALL of God's children are also one with them in the same way.
The answer can be found right there in the pages of your bible.
The problem with the Trinity is the the Holy Spirit is not a 3rd person. It is the very personhood of the Father Himself.
God is spirit. God is Holy. No one has seen him. Yet we are to believe there is a separate entity called the Holy Spirit? This makes zero sense. He gives many the spirit of holiness, the ability to perform in accordance with the Will of God at certain times. So we have the Father who is Holy and a Spirit. We have another Spirit who Is Holy, but not called the Father. And then we have the Son, who before His incarnation was most likely a spirit, and ??? Holy? Yet they are all 3 separate entities. So there were 3 spirits that knew the exact information and agreed on everything from the get go, tho no one can even fathom eternity which has no beginning. That is NOT Logical, to borrow from Mr. Spock.
The Hebrew word for "God" is Elohim. Elohim literally translates into "Gods" and not "God". So throughout the Bible, when the English (or even the Greek) says "God" you can and should insert "Gods".
Elohim is the notorious "singular plural." Now if you want to know how that works exactly and what it means ... it entirely depends on what theological lens you want to look through. It could mean lots of different things. It could establish the Trinity as absolute if you're a Trinitarian. It could completely debunk the Trinity if you are a non-Trinitarian. But since that is what the original reference and text for actually said, "Gods" is how we should be reading it. Every reference in the Original Post should be reread with that in mind.


This means that if Google indexes that page, it might rank for "color 5", pretty useless. Also, this means that the website might be returning millions of page URLs with different filter combinations. This makes your website, hard to crawl. Google will only crawl a portion of your site, not all of it, depending on your site's Page rank. If it crawls the pages that don't get you any traffic, then that's a waste of Google's crawler allocation/budget. Another problem is that your filters may combine the filter queries in different ways, thus coming up with different URLs for the same content. This will be considered as duplicate content by Google and your site will face dire consequences.
What you need to do before you start is to determine which pages are important to you. Which pages would you want Google to index? This question can be answered depending on the keyword list that your site is targeting to rank in. After that, cross check the entire query attributes in your database with your principle keyword list.
Once you see which of your keywords are related to the query attributes, your next task is to determine which of the core keyword pages are being pulled up by organic searches using the query attributes in your database.
If, for example, you find that your core keyword "affordable skirts" is being used in conjunction with the term "pink", this means that your sites needs to make available a landing page for "pink affordable skirts" and this page should obviously be indexed by Google. You also need to change the URL so that you can be more specific. Instead of the code "Color 5", it's better to use "pink" as your filter URL addition (which now might look like ww.samplewebshop.com/skirts/pink).
Also, you need to tweak a few things to make sure this is a part of what Google bots are indexing. Once you can now see which URLs you want to rank for and which ones you don't, then this step will have more direction. The next problem is knowing if the pages you do not want indexed has already been indexed. Hopefully, they haven't been yet, in which case you can just place them in your robots.txt site file with the help of REGEX.
But that won't do any good if the page has already been crawled. If so, your only other course of action is to make use of the rel=canonical page tag. This is not the most elegant solution perhaps, as it means some pages will have rel while other's wont. But it will do for now since they are already indexed. Just tag this to the pages that you don't want to be crawled and placed in Google's index.

Plastech Engineered Products was a tier-1 automobile supplier headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan. It was long the largest woman-owned company in the state of Michigan.
Plastech started in 1988 with the purchase of a single injection molding facility in Caro, Michigan. The company subsequently grew rapidly through a mixture of organic growth and acquisitions, the most notable of the latter being the purchase of United Screw and Bolt in 1997 and LDM Technologies in 2004. In 2007 Plastech took over four plants and sales of US$700 million from Johnson Controls, bringing annual sales to US$1.7 billion.  Plastech's customers included General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, and Johnson Controls.

Plastech Engineered Products filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February 1, 2008, following a dispute with Chrysler, its fourth largest customer. Douglas Doran, Chrysler's director of interior procurement, said Plastech's quality issues were far worse than the typical supplier. He stated that those quality issues, coupled with Plastech's continued financial needs, led Chrysler to cancel its contracts. The firm was having trouble paying suppliers and had violated agreements with its lenders. General Motors, Ford, and Johnson Controls all publicly supported Chrysler's position against Plastech. The firm was later liquidated, with major assets being sold to Johnson Controls. Both Chrysler and General Motors would themselves file for bankruptcy in 2009, thereafter receiving large government-backed loans that were later completely paid back in full.

In 2014 JCI spun off its automotive interiors business, and several former Plastech locations are now operated by Yanfeng Automotive Interiors.

Plastech Engineered Products is the namesake of Brown University's Plastech Professor of Computer Science, an endowed professorship currently held by Roberto Tamassia.

Private investment company Oak Point Partners acquired the remnant assets, consisting of any known and unknown assets that weren't previously administered, from the Liquidating Trust for the Plastech Engineered Products, Inc., et al., Bankruptcy Estates on October 19, 2017.

INDUSTRY – With its first pick in today's NFL Draft, the Los Angeles fill-in-the-blank might have selected its first player.
Instead the event will continue for the 16th straight year without a Los Angeles-area team drafting a new crop of stars.
As a result, local billionaire Ed Roski Jr., who has been trying to bring football to Los Angeles since the Rams and Raiders left after the 1994 season, will sit out another round.
Unfortunately, Roski's dream may be further from the end zone – or even the red zone – than it was even six months ago, according to at least one expert.
"He can be in red zone on the stadium, but without a clear franchise and its source, he is nowhere near the red zone in terms of being a football operation, in my judgment," said Stephen Greyser, who teaches and has written about sports business at the Harvard Business School.
Roski is chairman and CEO of Majestic Realty Co., and part-owner of the Lakers and Kings. He didn't return calls seeking comment.
Just last week, Roski's former business partner, Tim Leiweke, and Leiweke's associate, Casey Wasserman, announced they are exploring the idea of building a $1 billion NFL stadium next to Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.
The plan directly competes with Roski's 2-year-old proposal to turn a vacant parcel at the junction of the 57 and 60 freeways in Industry into an $800 million, 75,000-seat NFL stadium.
Last fall, the state Legislature granted Roski an exemption from state environmental law that put the project on a fast track to completion. Roski said then all he needed was a team.
In early October, Roski declared pro football was close to coming to the San Gabriel Valley.
Lawsuits against the project, the Great Recession, and now labor issues with the NFL's players have slowed Roski's project. The two biggest problems – the economy and the NFL's labor strife – have become larger concerns since Roski's 2008 announcement, said David Carter, executive director of the USC Sports Business Institute.
"The complications that have arisen are beyond his control," said Carter, who has consulted for Roski in the past. Roski is also chairman of the Board of Trustees of USC.
Existing owners don't know what their finances are, as a new labor deal could change how much players and team owners split, experts said. And until that is sorted out – which could take a year or so, some predict – a team won't move to L.A.
To make matters worse, getting loans is tough. And sponsors and advertisers have retooled their budgets, investing less on professional sports, experts said.
Jim Kahler, executive director of Ohio University's Center for Sports Administration and a former senior vice president with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, said L.A. hasn't seen a state-of-the-art NFL facility, but if one existed, corporations could offer financial backing.
Even though Roski has the hard-fought entitlements for his project, the stadium won't be built until a team is secured, Majestic Realty officials have said.
Though some say Roski isn't in the red zone, Carter contends the developer surely isn't retreating.
John Semcken, a Majestic Realty vice president who oversees Roski's stadium proposal, maintains the company wants to bring a team to the Southland for the 2011 season.
Roski's achievement still stands for something, Carter said. Since the Rams and Raiders left L.A., few have gotten as far as Roski.
"He has made more headway than anyone thought he would and in a state where people thought elected officials have been problematic over the years," Carter said.


This has come after it was found that Kahlid Masood, who killed four people in the Westminster attacks, used WhatsApp two minutes before they took place.
WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption. This means that messages sent from one device to another cannot be intercepted in between. This means the police, security services and WhatsApp themselves cannot know what is being said.
Professor Ross Anderson of Security Engineering at The University of Cambridge told LSJ News about end-to-end encryption and what it means to investigations. Listen below.


What's planned for the 2019 training camp?
Jack Rees-Ribble Pro Cycling Team Rider takes us through Ribble Pro Cycling's plans for their annual pre-season training camp in Calpe.
Given the tough conditions faced by riders training through a typical British winter, warm weather training camps are almost essential for today's UK professionals.
As with previous years, the team look to finalise their preparations for the 2019 season in Calpe, Spain. Having visited this part of Spain multiple times in previous years, it's an area they know pretty well and can plan their training regime (and cafe stops) accordingly.
Spanish hotspots such as Mallorca, Calpe and Girona are exceedingly popular choices both for pro teams and amateur racers alike. Such destinations are chosen because of their long climbs when compared to the shorter, sharp climbs that we experience in the UK. These longer Spanish climbs are better suited to help build fitness levels and form.
Team training camps also provide the perfect opportunity for riders to test themselves and their new equipment ahead of the first races and get to know each other, both on and off the bike. Such team bonding and spirit is especially important when competing in Pro Continental races when so much time is spent in each others company.
This year thirteen riders and three staff traveled to Calpe on Spains Costa Blanca for a 10 day training camp. With its quiet, smooth mountain roads and warm, sunny climate, it was the ideal place for the Ribble Pro team ahead of the first major races of the 2019 season.
Shortly before leaving the team collected their new rides for 2019 in the shape of the brand new Ribble Endurance SL R Series in a new glittery Blue livery. As one of the main opportunities to work on specific race elements and train, develop as a unit and test out their new bikes, the training camp really is invaluable.
The camp itself is split into blocks; 2 x three-day blocks of work, separated by two recovery rides. These recovery rides typically involve a long and easy afternoon outside a café (coffee and cake, everyone's favourite!).
The rides would also give the team the opportunity to practice sprint lead-outs, ride as a chain gang, feeding, and utilizing team car support, to take on board nutritional products from Secret Training.
Day 1 was VO2 max, maximal aerobic power over short durations.
Day 2 was some team time trial efforts in groups of 4/5 (allowing a higher work rate and also to incorporate some competition between groups) on varied terrain.
The final day was a hilly endurance ride, ridden as one group with a short race simulation exercise in the middle with different groups having different objectives within it.
Following the first block the riders took the opportunity to unwind with an Indian meal and to build some team spirit. They were then joined by some of the sponsors, before heading into a relaxing day on the following day.
The second block of work is delivered by Team Manager-Matt Cronshaw. Focusing on a number of race scenarios and simulations played out over a range of terrain. But before that, the dreaded CP20 test.
CP20 Test…But with a twist!
Day 5 – The team conduct a CP20 on the climb of Val D'Ebo. Based on the 5 min efforts from Day 1 and one of Dan's (Dan Bigham) renowned spreadsheets. The plan was for the riders to start the climb of Val D'Ebo in reverse order of power to weight. The rider with the most watts starting off last and having a number of carrots dangling ahead of him!
This was then followed by a short race creation effort on a small climb near Parcent. The final effort of the day was on Zwift and this being a 16 minute pyramid from Z4 through to Z5.
Day Six – Today's session involved two evenly matched teams aiming to work collectively to get their rider (nominated because they don't have the highest threshold) to the top of the Coll du Rates in the fastest time, an exercise to develop communication and teamwork on the road.
It's been a great camp so far and the new Endurance SL R's have not only been put through their paces but received a number of admirers each day.
We can't wait for what is surely set to be another great year for Ribble Pro Cycling's riders, staff and sponsors, so stay tuned!
Ribble Endurance SL vs R872 – Which should I choose?


When it comes to vaping safety the media is always quick to sensationalize stories about violent vape explosions, but are vaping devices really dangerous?
The truth is that while vapes can catch on fire and in extreme situations explode, the frequency of this type of occurrence is very low.
With that being said, vape explosions can be extremely dangerous and have the potential to cause serious injury.
While the exact reasons for every vape explosion are not known the majority of vaping related fires and explosions are directly linked to battery related issues resulting from battery damage. .
When a battery is damaged it starts to undergo a cycle of what is called thermal runaway.
Thermal runaway is basically a cycle where a reaction in the battery is triggered causing the battery temperature to increase. The increase in temperature then causes the battery to react more which in turn increases the heat more and more. This heating builds pressure inside the battery which starts to break down the protective layer inside your battery. As the pressure increases this can cause the battery to burst releasing gases and liquids which can result in fire and in extreme cases explosion.
To avoid vape battery fires and explosions proper use, storage and maintenance of your batteries is essential. To assist you avoid the potential for of vape battery explosion there are several things that you can do.
Follow the advice outlined in our vape battery safety tips info-graphic below to minimize the risk of battery venting and explosions.
Like this infographic? Visit our battery safety resource page and embed it on your website.
The best way to protect yourself form potential vape battery explosions is to learn as much as you can about your vape mod and how to care for and mange your vape batteries.
First of all always make sure you read the vape operations guide that came with your vaping device. If you've lost it and want to double check simply visit your manufacturers website. Most manufacturers will offer downloadable versions of their operations manuals.
Never disable built in safety features like firing locks and always make sure your vent holes are not covered. The vent holes are designed to help release heat from your vape mod so covering them is dangerous.
Most importantly, be sensible and stay within the safe operating ranges of the device set by the manufacturer.
If you still have questions or are looking to learn more about how to avoid battery explosions visit our vape battery safety resource library. In the library you will find a wide selection of articles, infographics, safety charts and instructional videos designed to provide you with a comprehensive cape battery safety education.

Johann Nepomuk Berger est un maître d'échecs autrichien né le  à Graz et mort le . Il fut également théoricien des échecs, auteur de livres sur le sujet et éditeur.

Biographie
Berger a appris à jouer aux échecs à l'âge de 16 ans.

Entre 1880 et 1908, il participa à un grand nombre de tournois d'échecs mais ne put en gagner aucun, se plaçant surtout au milieu du peloton. Par conséquent, il a annoncé son retrait de l'arène du tournoi à plusieurs reprises mais a rechuté à plusieurs reprises.

Professionnellement à partir de 1899 , il fut directeur de l'Académie commerciale de Graz et professeur à l'Université technique. Il y enseigne le droit commercial et la comptabilité. En 1905, il devient conseiller de canton.

Contrairement à ce que l'on trouve parfois dans la littérature échiquéenne, ce n'est pas Johann Berger qui a participé au tournoi de Brno en 1931 mais Vladimir Berger de Prague.

Une partie de sa bibliothèque sur les échecs fait maintenant partie des fonds de la Bibliothèque d'État de Styrie à Graz.

Carrière

En septembre 1870, Johann Berger remporte le premier tournoi de l'Empire austro-hongrois qui se tient dans sa ville natale de Graz.

En 1875 il remporte une partie contre Alexander Wittek.

Au tournoi de Graz de 1880, il arrive cinquième, dixième à Berlin en 1881.

Aux tournois de Hambourg de 1885, de Francfort de 1887, il finit respectivement douzième et sixième. Il arrive régulièrement dans les quinze premiers à des tournois en Autriche ou en Allemagne jusqu'en 1908.

Il est le vainqueur d'un tournoi par correspondance qui s'est tenu de 1889 à 1892, organisé par le journal le Monde Illustré. Il remporte ce tournoi de manière remarquable avec quarante-cinq victoires, trois nuls et aucune défaite.

Berger est l'éditeur d'une revue sur les échecs, la Deutsche Schachzeitung, et l'auteur de plusieurs livres : Das Schachproblem und dessen Kunstgerechte Darstellung en 1884 (où il a précisé des idéaux pour l'école continentale de problémistes), Theorie und Praxis der Endspiele en 1890  et Problemen, Studien und Partien en 1914.

Il est également un auteur majeur d'études de fin de partie, en ayant publié plus de 100. Il est très connu pour ces travaux, qui ont été pendant des décennies les références généralement admises.

Johann Berger a laissé son nom au système de départage Sonneborn-Berger et aux tables d'appariement dites tables de Berger.

Q: OctoKit NodeJS Get all commits of all repos in user/org I'm using the NodeJS OctoKit API and for our business analytics I'm trying to gather a list of all commits across all repositories. So I can make a little "ranking".
const owner = req.params.owner;
    const { data } = await octokit.request('GET /user/repos', { type: 'private' })
    let total = 0;
    data.forEach(element => {
        const name = element.name;
        octokit.repos.listCommits({
            owner,
            name,
        }).then(r => {
            total += r.data.length;
        }).catch(error => console.log(error));
    })
    console.log(total);

I tried something like this but it catches load of 404 errors because I think the repos are private

A: I guess you solved it by now. How did you initialized octokit?
did you put the correct token ?
const octokit = new Octokit({ auth: <githubToken> });

Boxing as a game involves mostly punching and defense. It may not sound very complicated, but training to knock an opponent out requires a lot of complications and sweating off those muscles to a big extent. Boxing is one of the most effective ways to workout, socialize, and maintaining the well-being of your health. However, you need the right type of fitness equipment for boxing.
One integral part of boxing is the boxing equipment such as boxing gloves and a fighter may incur many injuries to their knuckles if they don't use the right kind of boxing gloves when they get in the ring to spar or if they just need to trade blows with a punching bag. In order to purchase a decent pair of gloves for boxing, here are few points you have to keep in mind.
First of all, do you know the fact that boxing gloves are available in different materials? Amid all these variety of materials, leather boxing gloves are the trendiest and used by a large quantity of professional boxers and they are considered to be the best for fighting and training purposes. Whether you are a professional boxer or simply just an amateur beginner, it's always better to purchase gloves with laces. On the other hand, when you are buying boxing gloves, you need to carefully consider the size of the gloves that you are going to put your hands in. There are small, medium and large sizes. Most men generally go for a medium size but it will be better to ponder on whether the gloves will be stretched during their use or not; so it's good to buy them according to your hand size.
More importantly, the weight of boxing gloves should also be considered before purchasing it, as you may need to weigh in the regulations under which you may be fighting. Boxing instructors will be the most helpful person in suggesting you about the right weight and material of your gloves. The weight generally ranges from 10 to 20 ounces, however, for teenagers, it ranges from 4 to 8 ounces. Assuming you are an amateur fighter like me you should go for 12 to 16 ounces, whereas 10 ounce gloves are usually more appropriate for professional fighters like Mohamed Ali. Specialized gloves have been introduced lately by different brands for women and children to meet the growing demands.
Other accessories needed include attire: boxing shorts and boxing apparel like shirts, vests, boxing suits, hoodies, tracksuits and trousers. Some are mostly used during boxing training sessions depending on the climate around your workout place. Also training pads, punch bags and protective gears. Do not also be afraid to accessories and look good while boxing.
The next step is training and here are a few tips to help in training, and to improve your punch and develop your defense in boxing which I learned from my instructor.
While training the most important thing to remember is to drink lots of water and fluids. All that sweat from your body makes you dehydrated and you will not have the energy to continue workout. So, never get dehydrated.
Punch light and sharp! Make your workout more valuable by following these two simple rules. This will allow more bag time and you will also have the energy to do so. Putting on a show by breaking a sweat and huffing and puffing will get you nowhere.
Breathe! Many people end up holding their breath! Remember to breathe out while punching. Looking at your opponent can be motivating at most times. Do not look at the floor but watch how your opponent crumbles before your very own eyes.
Just keep hitting and punching no matter what. It signifies to your opponent that you are no quitter. A boxing speed bag can help while training to punch in this continuous manner. Use your whole body to your own advantage. Throw your body at every punch, in this way you do not sacrifice any form of power.
Always keep calm and throw combo punches of both light and hard order. Keep your opponent guessing and wondering what your next move would be. Practice 3 to 5 combos for each opponent. Trying out every combo can be a waste of time and energy.
Do not forget hands high, elbows low and head movement. You will find a lot of boxers moving all around the ring for no reason. Just focus on your opponent and attack at every given chance while avoiding your opponent's blows. You can also use short hooks, short rights and short uppercuts combined with long jabs as it helps you earn more time and strength.
Utilize the opportunity to land your punches in every part of the body. Keeping his head at bay work on how to encounter the rest of his body.
Above all, have fun always. You can make boxing a fun sport and make the most out of it while training. Be serious while training but do not make it boring for you not to lose interest. Why don't you put on those gloves today and box for fun, fitness and strength.
Offshore sportsbooks like America's Bookie give you the option to bet on most major boxing events, as well as UFC. Check out the odds the next time your favorite boxer is stepping in the ring, maybe you'll be tempted to put a few bucks down.


is a bird in the rail family. It breeds in Europe and Asia as far east as western China, and migrates to Africa for the northern hemisphere's winter. It is a medium-sized crake with buff- or grey-streaked brownish-black upperparts, chestnut markings on the wings, and blue-grey underparts with rust-coloured and white bars on the flanks and undertail. The strong bill is flesh-toned, the iris is pale brown, and the legs and feet are pale grey. Juveniles are similar in plumage to adults, and downy chicks are black, as with all rails. There are no subspecies, although individuals from the east of the breeding range tend to be slightly paler than their western counterparts. The male's call is a loud krek krek, from which the scientific name is derived. The corn crake is a medium-sized rail, 27–30 cm (11–12 in) long with a wingspan of 42–53 cm (17–21 in). Males weigh 165 g (5.8 oz) on average and females 145 g (5.1 oz). The adult male has the crown of its head and all of its upperparts brown-black in colour, streaked with buff or grey. The wing coverts are a distinctive chestnut colour with some white bars. The face, neck and breast are blue-grey, apart from a pale brown streak from the base of the bill to behind the eye, the belly is white, and the flanks, and undertail are barred with chestnut and white. The strong bill is flesh-coloured, the iris is pale brown, and the legs and feet are pale grey.

I've always loved PING irons, and the G-Series was no exception. These irons felt absolutely pure with every shot, and my TrackMan numbers showed faster ball speeds and lower dispersion than my regular set. The most exciting bit of the set, however, was PING's new "Crossover" club, which combined the precision, workability and control of an iron with the ball speed and forgiveness of a hybrid. It's a revolutionary idea that will help any golfer who struggles with their longer irons. Overall, these irons and Crossover were an absolute standout, and I highly recommend that you test them out at your next Fitting/Demo day. Pure gold.
Featuring a unique shape and massive surface area, this wedge is extremely easy to hit, no matter the lie. From hardpan, thick rough, sand, fairway and virtually everywhere else I tried, the Mack Daddy PM-Grind Wedge performed exceptionally well. Full wedge shots with the Mack Daddy gave plenty of bite and control; bunker shots popped out effortlessly; and the high flop shots cleared the hazards and trees with ease, landing softly like the proverbial 'butterfly with sore feet'. Shot after shot, it quickly became the 'go-to' wedge in the bag. The Mack Daddy PM-Grind Wedge is by far, the most versatile wedge we have ever tested at Inside Golf.
The "Dynamic Duo" by PnP Golf, the SiteLine Chipper and Putter are designed to be used together to develop a repeatable swing. Brilliant! The Chipper features an anti-dig, flat sole, which glides across the ground for consistent contact. With a loft similar to a modern 8-iron, it can be hit from a variety of distances. For shots under 30 metres, use your regular putting stroke and grip, resulting in a lower shot with more roll. For shots longer than 30 metres, use your normal iron/wedge grip which gives you a higher trajectory and more backspin. Meanwhile, the Putter has a small, face-balanced mallet head which gives a soft feel and good feedback through the stroke. It is designed to be used with a pendulum putting stroke—simply back and forth, and can be used no matter how you grip the club. You'll feel like you can sink everything!
The Scottish band The Proclaimers were famous for walking "500 miles" (twice) for someone they love. Well, a round of golf may not be quite that far, but with Puma Golf's Titantour Ignite Golf Shoes, you could certainly make it through a round or two feeling as fresh-footed as when you started. Featuring the new IGNITE foam and PWRCOOL technology, the shoe is made from premium materials; including a full-grain leather upper, heavy gauge thread and a dual-density TPU outsole, providing long-lasting quality and durability. After a full round with these shoes, our feet and legs were less tired/fatigued, and certainly cooler. In general, they provided ultimate comfort, and secure grip in any turf, wet or dry.
Bushnell Tour V4 Slope Laser Rangefinder.
One of the lightest and most powerful Laser units we've ever used, The V4 is packed with technology, from the JOLT Technology which indicates a lock on the target, to the ultra-cool Slope Technology that compensates for elevation differential between you and the pin. This unit is a must-have, and gives you absolute confidence of your distances. Accurate to within one yard, the Tour V4 SLOPE can measure distances to nearly 1000m (and 360m to a flag) and features a solid 5x magnification. It features a three-volt battery, is water resistant, and includes a two-year warranty and quick-access carry case.
The latest in GolfBuddy's line of audio distance measuring devices, this handy little GPS unit TALKS to you! With a simple click of a button, you get the distance to the centre of the green as well as the front and back. The Voice 2 boasts an increased battery life of up to 14 hours, and it can be clipped on a hat/belt, or worn as a watch. It's water resistant, and also has a shot distance measurement feature. It features dynamic green viewing capabilities based on the golfer's position, automatic course and hole recognition, and comes pre-loaded with over 38,000 courses worldwide with free lifetime software and course updates.
We don't know how the Callaway engineers have done it, but they have managed to create a sort of "Super Ball" which is both soft and durable at the same time, suitable for different swing speeds and skill levels. It feels and plays like a tour ball, yet is strong and durable. The ball's SoftFast Core is designed to reduce spin and retain energy off the driver to maximize ball speed and distance. With a low 65 compression, golfers can compress the ball on iron shots for incredibly soft feel and responsiveness around the green. The Soft Duraspin Cover—Callaway's softest and most durable—also helps deliver excellent control into the green by gripping the clubface. Callaway's patented HEX Aerodynamics make the ball even longer by reducing drag and increasing lift.

Meharry Graduate in Cap and Gown, 1900s. Photograph by Lay Brothers Studio. Nashville Public Library, Special Collections. Full Record.
Public health received renewed attention after inadequate medical care and widespread disease in the Civil War. African Americans who wanted high quality care for their own people trained as physicians, nurses, and dentists. Central Tennessee College, established in Nashville in 1867, was a key Reconstruction-era institution that shaped African American professional training into the early 20th century. The Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church founded the school, and added its first professional program, Meharry Medical College, in 1876. As the first such African American professional school in the South, Meharry was an immediate success. In 1886 the school added a dental program; three years later came the pharmaceutical department. That same decade, Central Tennessee College also established the first law school for African Americans. The college changed its name to Walden University in 1900. In the 1920s Meharry moved its facilities to a North Nashville campus next to Fisk University where it still operates today.
Also in the late 19th century, African American physicians helped to establish the University of West Tennessee College of Medicine and Surgery. The professional medical training school was founded in Jackson and moved to Memphis in 1906 before closing there in 1923. Another significant but short-lived facility was the Knoxville College Medical School. Until a separate Negro wing was added to the public hospital in the 1920s, Dr. Henry Morgan Green and other Knoxville physicians had to run their own clinics.. In Chattanooga, Dr. Emma Rochelle Wheeler opened Walden Hospital in 1915. Wheeler, a physician who had practiced medicine in the city since 1905, purchased two lots on the corner of East Eighth and Douglas Streets and, using her own money, erected a three-story brick hospital. For more than twenty years, Wheeler not only practiced medicine but also trained nurses at Walden. Dedicated on July 30, 1915, Walden Hospital became the first hospital in Chattanooga to be owned, operated, and staffed by African Americans and dedicated to their treatment. It remained open until 1952.

French onion soup is just so good though, that I kept thinking of additional uses for it--most of which were pretty quick conversions or just a matter of rearranging the pieces of the puzzle. This spin on a grilled cheese was one of our favorite spin-offs. It's really a non-recipe, so don't get hung up on the exact quantities, adjust as needed, and use what you have. I used leftover beef, but this would be equally good with chicken, pork, or leave off the meat altogether. A little meat goes a long way here, so it's a good place to use up any bits and pieces you have straggling away in your fridge.
These sandwiches are fairly simple, but they're rich, so even a small one is really satisfying. Serve with a simply dressed green salad.
Pair these sandwiches with a Belgian Trappist Ale like this Chimay.
1. Heat the leftover soup over medium-high heat and reduce it down until most of the liquid is evaporated, leaving saucy onions.
2. Lightly smash the garlic clove and lightly rub over each piece of bread. Distribute shredded cheese on the ungreased side of 2 of the slices of bread, then lightly toast all the bread in a toaster oven.
3. Warm the roasted beef in a pan, or if you prefer to avoid using another pan, simply toss the beef in the warmed onion mixture until just warmed through.
4. Once all components are heated through, assemble the sandwiches by distributing the onions and beef equally between the 2 plain pieces of sourdough. Top each with the pieces of toast with melted cheese.
5. (Optional) Heat and grease a panini press. Spread a small amount of butter or olive oil over the exposed sides of each of the sandwiches. Place each sandwich in the panini press and sear until lightly browned and crispy. Serve.


I am trying to cross compile a raspberry Pi kernel with RT Preempt patch. I am following this tutorial.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have been stuck at this for some time now and would really appreciate any help.
After exit and save the modifications in .bashrc, type: 'source .bashrc' to update PATH. A nice tutorial I made: Compiling kernel to Raspberry. This tutorial was made to Raspberry B1, so you have to change defconfig as the version of Raspberry. Use bcmrpi_defconfig for PI 1, and bcm2709_defconfig for PI 2 and PI 3.

The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is the introductory passage of this foundational document for the United States Government and legal infrastructure. In addition to helping people understand the content and application of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution's Preamble has also been granted, under the application of U.S. Constitutional legal theory, as having legal and judicial effect in its own right, specifically as a guide to the intentions of the Founding Fathers in drawing up the Constitution.
According to the judicial theories regarding the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, this opening passage allows for people to more correctly and applicably discern the document's "spirit." As an alternative method of interpretation, legal theories regarding the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution may also focus on parsing the specific wording of the passage, according to the measures provided through close reading. Moreover, the way in which the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted, as with the remainder of this foundational document, can be subject to debate as to whether the original intent of the Founding Fathers should be emphasized over modern exigencies.


by Beale, G. K., Gladd, Benjamin L.
When reading through the Bible, it is impossible to ignore the troubling fact that Israel and its leaders and even Jesus' own disciples seem unable to fully grasp the messianic identity and climactic mission of Jesus. If his true deity, his death and resurrection and his role in the establishment of God's eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and in his own teachings, how could the leading biblical scholars of their time miss it?
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as an initial, partially hidden revelation that is subsequently more fully revealed, shedding light not only on the richness of the concept itself, but also on the broader relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Exploring all the occurrences of the term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found in conjunction with them, this work unpacks how the New Testament writers understood the issue of continuity and discontinuity. This investigation of the notion of mystery sharpens our understanding of how the Old Testament relates to the New and explores topics such as kingdom, crucifixion, the relationship between Jews and Gentiles and more. As such, it is a model for attentive and faithful biblical theology intended for students, scholars, pastors and lay people who wish to seriously engage the Scriptures.
An intriguing theological and exegetical exploration of a key New Testament theme, especially in Paul. As the book's authors argue, the early Christian use of 'mysteries' surely reflects the strong influence of Daniel.
An important examination of a crucial theme for understanding some of the New Testament's use of the Old Testament, carried out by two scholars who have thought long and hard on the issue.
In the realm of lay readers, I can hardly think of an area that is more misunderstood than the area of prophecy; in the realm of biblical scholars, I can hardly think of a topic more controverted than the relationship between the Old and the New. At the crosshairs of both discussions is Daniel's term 'mystery.' For the sake of both readerships, I'm grateful that we finally now have a book that reduces the mystery behind 'mystery.' Many others will be grateful as well, and will want a copy for their own library.

Too many people don't understand that not everyone likes to do things exactly the way they do them; that the way they do things is the only right way or the only logical way. That is often not true. In this case, some of us LIKE to click on buttons, and DON'T LIKE to reach for a bound key. It is nice that you prefer it your way, but please be more understanding that there is a world of people out there, and although many are like sheep or lemmings, thankfully there are many who are not like everybody else.

I guess I shouldn't expect much, since there has been no activity here since late 2006, but I really would like to see this fixed for 2.2. Please?
Thank you for a really useful AddOn that I would not like to be without. I hope to see it back soon.
just a request, but would it be possible to hide if there is no target?
or to hide if target is not pickable.
Add a button attached to the main button to Distract. I use distract every single time I pick pocket, and alot of time that I dont. It would be so much easier to click two buttons right next to each other in the middle of the screen than to scroll to the bars below and then back to the middle each time.
I've seen it requested sooo many times. Maybe add a slash command to hide the distract button for those that dont want the extra button.
Saves a bit of trouble and bloat unless the author reworks the addon.
Those of you having problems, are you sure you have the most recent (1.10?) version of PocketHelper? There were some changes to the game API's that required an update when 1.10 came out.
As for a 1.11 version, one will be forthcoming once 1.11 goes live and I can get at my Rogue.
I haven't been able to get it to show for the life of me. Really nice addon when it was working!
I get this huge red text error once i hit the bag icon on pockethelper. any ideas?
I'm new to rogue'ing but I do like this very much.

Q: Pandas 0.24.0 breaks my pandas dataframe with special column identifiers I had code that worked fine until I tried to run it on a coworker's machine, whereupon I discovered that while it worked using pandas 0.22.0, it broke on pandas 0.24.0.  For the moment, we've solved this problem by downgrading their copy of pandas, but I would like to find a better solution if one exists.
The problem seems to be that I am creating a user-defined class to use as identifiers for my columns in the dataframe.  When trying to compare two dataframes it for some reason tries to call my column labels as functions, and then throws an exception because they aren't callable
Here's some example code:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

class label(object):
    def __init__(self, var):
        self.var = var
    def __eq__(self,other):
        return self.var == other.var

df = pd.DataFrame(np.eye(5),columns=[label(ii) for ii in range(5)])
df == df

This produces the following stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-4-496e4ab3f9d9>", line 1, in <module>
    df==df1

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 2098, in f
    return dispatch_to_series(self, other, func, str_rep)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 1157, in dispatch_to_series
    new_data = expressions.evaluate(column_op, str_rep, left, right)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\computation\expressions.py", line 208, in evaluate
    return _evaluate(op, op_str, a, b, **eval_kwargs)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\computation\expressions.py", line 68, in _evaluate_standard
    return op(a, b)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 1135, in column_op
    for i in range(len(a.columns))}

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 1135, in <dictcomp>
    for i in range(len(a.columns))}

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 1739, in wrapper
    name=res_name).rename(res_name)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\series.py", line 3733, in rename
    return super(Series, self).rename(index=index, **kwargs)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\generic.py", line 1091, in rename
    level=level)

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\internals\managers.py", line 171, in rename_axis
    obj.set_axis(axis, _transform_index(self.axes[axis], mapper, level))

  File "C:\...\site-packages\pandas\core\internals\managers.py", line 2004, in _transform_index
    items = [func(x) for x in index]

TypeError: 'label' object is not callable

I've found I can fix the problem by making my class callable with a single argument and returning that argument, but that breaks .loc indexing, which will default to treating my objects as callables.
This problem only occurs when the custom objects are in the columns - the index can handle them just fine.
Is this a bug or a change in usage, and is there any way I can work around it without giving up my custom labels?

When you're feeding many hungry birds, it's important to make sure your feeding stations are always clean. The Perky-Pet® 2-in-1 Cleaning Brush & Port Cleaner is a convenient multi-purpose brush combo that will help you prevent build-up of harmful mold and water residue. The cleaning brush features flexible spiral bristles that are made of soft plastic so they won't scratch your delicate feeders.
The long-handled cleaning brush allows you to effectively clean the hard to reach spaces of any tube feeder, including the Perky-Pet® 4-foot Hummerbar! This 2-in-1 brush also includes a smaller brush that is perfect for scrubbing feeding ports. With this easy-to-use tool, your resident birds will always have access to a fresh, clean food supply.
Birds will appreciate the fresher, healthier food supply that is available from your clean feeders.
Simplifies and shortens the cleaning process.
Long, sturdy handle allows you to effectively clean any tube feeder.
Included mini brush can be easily concealed in the handle of the large brush for efficient storage.
Soft, flexible bristles won't scratch your feeders.
24" x 2" x 2"
It's nice to have a 2 in 1 brush to clean the hummingbird feeders. The small brush could be smaller to clean the flowers easier. I hung up the 2 in 1 brush on a command hook for easy access but the small brush keeps falling out of the big brush handle.
I already had a long brush and the small brush was not small enough to clean the flowers inside.I wish you would make a teeny brush for the inside of the flowers because they really get very nasty and I have tried everything I can think of to figure out how to clean them better.
I find this brush very helpful when I clean the Perky-Pet Hummerbar and for other birdfeeders. The little brush (in the handle) is just right for the ports/flowers! At an affordable price too. No more using toothpics and paper towels when I need to clean my feeders. Thank you.
Got to give this product a zero because it fell apart as soon as I got it out of the packaging. Seemed like a good idea but it's a big fat loser. Very poorly made.
We are very sorry to hear about this unusual experience, Ken, and would like the opportunity to provide assistance. Our products are covered by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one year replacement warranty. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) for additional assistance.
Q.What is the total length of the cleaning brush? Thank You.
The brush is 24 inches long.
The small brush is designed for hummingbird feeding ports. The large brush is ideal for tube feeders, but can be used on bottles as well. Our Perky-Pet® Foam Feeder Cleaning Mop is another option for bottle feeders.

Combine the xanthan gum and warm water (or cornstarch and warm water). Be particularly mindful when using the xanthan; use a fork and keep the water moving vigorously while slowly sprinkling in the gum.
Pour the gum mixture into the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Pour into a heatproof container; cover and reserve for use in various emulsified preparations throughout the book. It'll last for a few days, well refrigerated.

Abstract The nature of the globule-coil transition of surface-confined polymers has been an issue of debate. Here this 2D collapse transition is studied through a partially directed lattice model. In the general case of polymers with positive bending stiffness (Delta > 0), the collapse transition is first order; it becomes second order only in the limiting case of zero bending stiffness (Delta equivalent to 0). These analytical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. We also suggest some possible future experiments.
