Sara Ontaneda performed her magic music at The Mint and the crowd was enraptured by the angelic presence and remarkable voice of this New York City-based musician.
Sara, who was born in Ecuador, said she's encouraged by her family, who enable her to pursue her dreams.
Sara is a quiet talent, keeping her bright light on focus and setting her sights on the future. She has two records out, Marte Y Jupiter and her latest Entre Espacios Y Colores. Both can be purchased through her website, Sara Ontaneda Music.
Sara's voice has the sensual sound of samba and Sergio Mendes' Brazil 66; her sound is a cross between that of the Mendes 1960s hit "Mas Que Nada" and today's light alternative. She said she's grateful for her musical gift.
At The Mint is was apparent that she drew the fans, many of whom came to see her after randomly hearing her music.
Sara did not disappoint and gave the fans their money's worth, playing for an audience that appreciates her music.
Opener The Michael Mills Band gave the fans a treat with some top-notch original blues. More to come.

Certified nursing assistant (CNA) is the most junior nursing role. CNAs assist more senior nurses by providing basic bedside care, like helping patients to feed, bathe, or use the restroom. To become a certified nursing assistant, candidates must complete a brief eight- to ten-week certificate program and pass a state-administered exam. Missouri's CNAs earn a median annual salary of about $22,000.
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are more senior than nursing assistants. LPNs perform a broader range of medical procedures, such as recording vitals, monitoring medical equipment, and dressing wounds. Candidates must complete a 12- to 18-month certificate program and pass the NCLEX-PN national exam to earn licensure. LPNs in Missouri earn roughly $37,000 per year.
Registered nurses (RNs) perform many healthcare tasks independently, like administering medications, performing diagnostic tests, and establishing patient care plans. They also supervise teams of nursing assistants and LPNs. Missouri's RNs can attain licensure in one of three ways: hospital diploma, two-year associate's degree, or four-year bachelor's degree. Candidates must then pass the NCLEX-RN national exam to earn licensure. Missouri's RNs earn a median annual salary of over $56,000.
Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) fill specialized scopes of practice like nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, or nurse anesthetist. Candidates must complete one to three years of graduate study in a Missouri university to attain certification. The state's APRNs are very well compensated, earning anywhere from $85,000 to $145,000 annually depending upon field of specialization.
Individuals interested in starting a nursing career can refer to our comprehensive list below of Missouri's accredited nursing schools.


Forget the preservative laden cartons of eggnog from the store… homemade is the best! All you need is 5 minutes of your time and a blender. My version mirrors the classic, with raw eggs, cream, milk, and booze, but I've also shared a way to make it using cooked egg yolks if you'd feel more comfortable that way.
You've had eggnog before right? It starts popping up in the refrigerated cases at grocery stores during the Fall around here, in those infamous cartons. Store-bought eggnog is SUPER thick, like the texture of thick, melted ice cream, and mildly spiced. The other thing in that store-bought carton is a lot of additives and preservatives, used to make it that thick and ensure that it has a long shelf life. Which is all well and good, but we all know homemade has got to be better right?
Except I always thought that something as complex in flavor as eggnog had to be complicated to make, so I never bothered. Well folks, I finally tried it, and I'm here to tell you… it couldn't be EASIER!
If you search "eggnog" in Google, you'll see approximately 2.67 bajillion recipes (okay so that might be an exaggeration… but seriously, there are a lot!), and there are several ways to make it. I've gone with the classic way, which does use raw eggs.
Raw. Eggs. Did I lose you there? For most people, the thought of drinking raw eggs is… well, not pleasant, right? You probably have a little voice in your head going, "um, crazy lady, you can't eat raw eggs… you'll get salmonella!!". Well, yes, and no. Classic eggnog is boozy, with a quite a bit of alcohol added, which essentially acts as a preservative and a sterilizer. There aren't many bacteria that can survive in alcohol, including the dreaded salmonella. This was actually proven at a lab in Rockefeller University.
Use fresh, organic eggs… the freshest you can find.
Making this version of homemade eggnog is the simplest one around… no saucepans, no tempering egg yolks, no whipping egg whites, and just one thing to wash after you're done! Just add your raw eggs to the blender and blend on medium speed (or low, if your blender only has a high and low speed) for about 30 seconds or so. Add the sugar and blend again for 15-20seconds. Add in spices, alcohol, milk and cream and blend until combined, about another 10 seconds. That's it!
It may be tempting to drink your eggnog right away, while it's still all frothy and fresh… and you can… but it will taste best if you age it a little. Traditionally eggnog was aged for weeks, even months! Remember, the alcohol acts as a preservative, so it's safe. I like to age mine at least a day or two, and up to 2 weeks. It could probably go longer, but I like to be a little cautious.
I just pour my eggnog into an airtight container in the refrigerator and let it hang out in there… tempting me each time I open the refrigerator doors lol.
There are a few classic alcohols used in eggnog…. bourbon, brandy, rum, and cognac. My personal favorite is bourbon and cognac… it lends to a really smooth, luxurious eggnog. But as always, this is YOUR eggnog… so add whatever alcohols you prefer. A general rule of thumb though, is that brown liquors are best.
I hope you all give this eggnog a try this holiday season (or any season really)… once you try homemade, you won't want any store-bought eggnog again!
Ninja Blender – Smooth, powerful, and not terribly expensive… this is my go-to blender for everything!
Hermetic Glass Carafe – I LOVE this vintage look, and it ensures a real airtight seal!
WANT TO TRY THIS BLENDER EGGNOG?
PIN THEM TO YOUR DRINKS OR HOLIDAY BOARD TO SAVE FOR LATER!
Add whole eggs to blender and blend on MED speed (or LOW if you only have a HIGH and LOW setting option) for 30 seconds.
Add nutmeg, cinnamon, cognac, bourbon, milk and heavy cream and blend until combined, about 10-15 seconds.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a day or so to allow flavors to combine and mellow.
Eggnog may have settled in the refrigerator, so either give it a good shake or two, or pour into a mixing bowl and give it a whisk to get everything combined.
Serve with some additional grated nutmeg on top, and an optional cinnamon stick.
Feel free to taste test and adjust the amount of alcohol to your tastes!
In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until lighter in color. Add sugar in 3 batches, beating after each addition, until fluffy.
To a saucepan, add milk, nutmeg and cinnamon and heat over LOW to MED-LOW heat, until steaming but not boiling.
Take 1 cup of hot milk mixture and SLOWLY, while whisking continuously, pour it into the egg yolk mixture. This tempers the eggs and ensures they won't scramble.
Transfer tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan with the rest of the steamed milk.
Cook over MED heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture has thickened somewhat. You'll know it's ready when you dip the wooden spoon into the mixture, turn it over and run your finger down the back of the spoon, and the mixture coats the spoon but leaves a bare line where you ran your finger. Don't let the mixture boil!
Take mixture off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let cool for approximately 1 hour.
Stir in cognac and bourbon and transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a day or so before serving.
If you prefer a thicker eggnog, beat egg whites on MED/MED-HIGH speed until soft peaks form. Add a pinch of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped egg whites into eggnog mixture before serving.
going to try this using fireball cinnamon schnapps for the alcohol and have to sub for the heavy cream but gonna give it a try.
Best eggnog I've ever had. I was generous with the alcohol and a little stingy with the sugar and it turned out fabulous!
omg its simply DELICIOUS… made this yesterday and my guests keeps coming back for more….BRILLIANT!!
This is so awesome! Store bought is too thick, this is just perfect!
What would be the recipe for 8 servings in a small cup?
I would double all the ingredients, and whatever is leftover, you can keep in the refrigerator.
I Can not drink any alcohol, can you think of a substitute? Kombutcha??
You can omit the alcohol completely, it just won't last as long in the refrigerator.
So tasty! I actually prefer a thinner eggnog so subbed 2% milk for the whole milk and cream. I added a bit of vanilla and it's fantastic. I have to go buy a dozen more eggs because I'll be drinking this nonstop for the holidays! Thank you!
how long can I store this in an airicontainer in a refrigerator ?
Thank you! I just made it, and I used Havana Club aged rum. It's already delicious. Can't wait to taste it tomorrow night!
Can I use an immersion blender to make this recipe?
I haven't tested the recipe that way, so I can't guarantee it, but you're welcome to try it.
After it's aged for a day in the fridge, can I warm it up to drink? Or would that turn out badly? I want to take this on a Christmas stroll and I think it'd be best hot. Thoughts!
Id really love yo try this recipie but, dont like liquor in my eggnog. And i assume cognac is alcoholic also? Can i jus omit these 3 ingredients? Will this recipie be thick like store bought eggnog?
Found this recipe by accident, keep going back to it for "no cook". I still use the recommended 6oz of liquor, but I use 2/2/2 of cognac, bourbon, and rum. Goes down smooooth as can be, and def makes you feel nicely toasted. I have kept it in the fridge in glass jars, for sometimes 6 months. Still yummy then too!! Only nog recipe I will ever use!
Five servings-what size are they?
Approximately 6 oz per each serving.
Know this is an old post, but hoping someone can answer for me. If I wanted to thicken it without using egg whites, is there another way? I'm allergic to egg whites but would love to make homemade egg nog. I grew up with the carton stuff in the US, but can't get it here in the UK.im desperate for eggnog this year, so looking for an egg white free version. I'm thinking maybe upwhipoing up cream and gently adding to thicken it but not sure if that would actually work. Any other suggestions or ideas you could share, please? Thanks!
…fake eggs ,I don't think it can be called eggnog …?
Hi Sassy, I have issues with drinking egg whites… not sure where it comes from, but I make eggnog every year using powdered milk to thicken it up. If you beat the milk/cream mixture and add about 1/3 of a cup of powerdered milk to every 1 cup of liquid milk/cream, then whip it until it's nice and frothy and thick, then i add in the egg yolks, sugar and spices. You can also add alcohol at this point, but we don't normally. I find the eggnog also stays a little more stable, less separation, with the powdered milk.
You don't have to use egg whites. I have a good raw eggnog recipe that only calls for yolks. Do include the yolks though (otherwise I wouldn't bother.) If a recipe calls for 4 eggs, use 8 yolks. 2 yolks = 1 egg. If you beat/whip the heavy cream a bit before adding, it thickens the eggnog. Not too long that it turns into whipped cream, just enough to thicken the nog. Should work perfectly.
Have you ever made it with rum and if so how much?
We needed some eggnog for a cake recipe we like for Easter. No eggnog available at any of the stores. My wife made this up quickly. Instead of the alcohol used 2 tsp. vanilla extract. Let it cool and it is delicious. I like it better than any store bought eggnog I've ever had (and I'm 68 years old). Kudos to you Amanda. Thanks so much for sharing.
I will try eggnog this friday with brown liquors as you suggest. Thanks.
Could you use egg beaters? What if you want to make it for kids? Could you add rum extract instead?
To get that thick, rich flavor, you really need the egg yolks, but I have seen eggnog made with egg beaters before. It still tasted pretty decent, but was definitely on the thin side. Yes, you can omit the liquor and leave the recipe as is, or add a splash of rum extract for the kids 🙂 Just know that without the alcohol, it won't last more than a couple of days in the refrigerator.
If we don't use cognac, should we double the bourbon?
I did that, and it's fine. *hic!* ?
I searched for eggnog recipes, and yours appeared with quite a few others. It was the 5-minute claim that hooked me. Then not needing to cook it sealed the deal. (Not that I don't like to cook, it's just that I'm on holiday in a cabin in the woods. Reading and hiking are the first order of business.) Thanks heaps for posting this recipe!
I used my Vitamix so it was made really fast and without a lot of cleanups afterward!
I think one of these days I will give it a go. DAD is the designated Egg Nog maker in our family. And when we're were separated by 1300 miles for 2.5 years, I just didn't feel like making my own and purchased the dreaded carton nog. Always a disappointment after having homemade. I don't like how unnaturally thick carton nog is. I'm the odd ball out when it comes to nog. I like Butterscotch Schnapps in mine! Yum. Give it a try.
Thank you for the recipe. Can't wait to try.
Hi Margaret! I don't like the taste of alcohol, do you taste it in this recipe?
I made this a couple of days ago to serve for Christmas dinner. It was amazing. I've always liked egg nog, but I love this recipe and I don't think I can drink store bought egg nog ever again. It was a huge hit. I only wish I'd made more.
Hi Margaret 🙂 I'm SO happy to hear that you all loved this egg nog as much as we do!!
I've tried it. And it was fantastic! Eggnog really is a must for Christmas! Thanks for the recipe Amanda.
How about with no alcohol for children?
Hi Anne 🙂 You can certainly just omit the alcohol to make a kid-friendly drink… although it won't keep more than a day or two in the refrigerator.
I am making this tonight…that is all.
Thomas is the eggnog lover in this house. I didn't know that the alcohol in eggnob is what keeps it safe with the raw eggs (for the traditional version). How neat! Love the blender one recipe!
I LOVE eggnog this time of the year! And this blender version sounds and looks amazing! 🙂 However, I am slightly lactose intolerant and usually buy the Silk eggnog and add my own booze to it. Do you think I can make this dairy free with coconut milk and cream?
I never realized eggnog could be so simple to make! And I love that it can hang out in the fridge, waiting on you!
I LOVE egg nog! It's one of my favorite parts of the Holiday season!
I cannot believe that this is SO easy! We love egg nog but don't usually make it!
I love how easy and quick this is, means I can enjoy all the time!
So quick and easy, perfect for the holidays too! I love it!

Monday, 02 March, 2009, The FA revealed a new version of its iconic 'Three Lions' Crest - the visual identity of The FA and England teams. The new design takes its inspiration from the 1948-49 Crest.
The iconic 'Three Lions' Crest has been refreshed to give greater visual standout in today's digital environment. It draws directly from the significant heritage the Crest embodies - namely the College of Arms version commissioned by The FA in 1948. It is the first time in seven years The FA has made changes to its Crest. It includes redrawn Three Lions, more authentic-looking Tudor roses and a new colourway for the England Crest - lighter blue - to differentiate it from the previous version and enhance its on-shirt presence.
Extensive research was conducted by The FA with different groups before the design changes were undertaken in-house. The aim was to establish what 'The FA' and 'England' represent in people's lives, and to gain a greater insight into the sense of national identity the 'Three Lions' can deliver.
The FA's Group Commercial Director, Jonathan Hill, commented: "We have taken great care in updating The FA's 'Three Lions' Crest. The new designs have been modernised for today's digital world, whilst also ensuring that they reflect the rich heritage and traditions of the Crest - particularly the 1948-49 version."

Color Guide: What Colors Go with Orange?
Which colors go well with orange? Is this the question that is bothering you lately? Then our today's article will provide you a lot of ideas.
Orange is not a common color to introduce in the interiors of a home. The difficulties of finding the right orange complementary color discourage many people to include it in their color schemes. But orange is such a special color. The color is often associated with joy. It can transform your home into a warm and welcoming space. Frank Sinatra found orange the "happiest color". Nat King Cole found the "orange colored sky" an extremely lucky omen. Musicians are not the only person to find this color a natural expression of happiness and good fortune. According to some oriental traditions, orange bring in prosperity and abundance in your life. So let's discover what matches orange?
How to find colors that go well with orange?
To find colors that go well with orange, use this handy trick. Simply use a color wheel to identify your favorite shade of orange or the one you wish to incorporate in your interior design. Colors that lie on the opposite side of this shade are its complementary colors. Those that appear on its sides or directly above and beneath it are its neighbors. You may select an orange complementary color from its neighbors or from those that lie on the opposite side of the color wheel.
Orange sits between yellow and red – the two basic colors of the chromatic spectrum. On the opposite side of orange, lie the shades of blue. You will find some orange complementary color periwinkle blue, powder clue, sky blue, Prussian blue, dark midnight blue and azure blue.
The colors that sit just above and below the shades of orange like brown and beige or next to it like yellow and red can also be combined with orange. However, this combination will have a fiery effect on the ambience of your home as all the colors located just in the vicinity of orange are extremely hot. To balance it well, you can consider introducing neutral shades like white, black and pale grey.
This is a fine example of an orange color combination, where pale rust orange has been blended with light blue and balanced with spotless white. This orange color combination ensures there is enough sparkle in the kitchen without making it look smoking hot. It makes the interior look brighter and more cheerful as well.
Also think where you wish to include this shade. The kitchen planner has introduced the color in the form of stools. You may use it on the backsplash of the kitchen, the cabinet doors, kitchen worktop or lighting fixtures.
It is possible to choose a metallic color as an integral part of your orange color scheme. It helps you to dramatize the interior décor in a very skillful fashion way. The interior walls of this spacious dining parlor are decorated with chains of golden hue. This adds extra glitter in an already fashionable dining room.
Arm chairs with orange paint and a large table with glossy top and golden base are placed in the center of the room. The space is additionally decorated with a floating storage unit also in orange color. The exposed brick wall and ceiling décor give a hint of industrial design.
While brainstorming about an orange color scheme, don't limit your options to the living room, kitchen or dining area only. Think of the space where you may easily incorporate this color. You may paint a part of the hallway wall with this ravishing shade. Don't forget that you can include this color in your terrace design and swimming pool deck. It will help you design a very lively outdoor party zone for your friends and family members.
See how skillfully the interior designer of this home integrated the color in one of the bathrooms. It decks up the top and bottom layer of the bathroom vanity unit. To jazz up the interiors further, colored mosaic tiles have been used to decorate the wall behind the bathtub.
An orange living room would an inviting space to welcome all your guests. You can have orange walls like this living room on the image above. You may also limit the orange paint to the feature wall only. Another clever way of blending this bright color in the interior is by using it as a base color for the wall panels. You may pep the room with three dimensional orange wallpapers as well.
It is also possible to use orange color fabric for upholstering the furniture and hanging the curtains. Green plants in orange pots or fresh flowers in orange vases would also have a lively effect on the interior atmosphere.
What color curtains go with orange walls?
While choosing curtains to match your orange walls, you may follow the same technique as discussed in the beginning of this article. You may use a color wheel to identify colors that would go well with your preferred shade of orange. Settling for black, white or grey curtains or a curtain fabric that combines these colors would be another great choice. Take into account the texture of the fabric.
If you are buying curtains to complement orange walls with glossy finish then you should choose a fabric that has a matte like look. This means, it would be ideal to stay away from silk, velvet and satin varieties of fabric. Cotton, linen, crewel, lace and sheer fabric will be some of the choices for you to explore. You may also opt for white curtains with subtle orange motifs. Both floral motifs and geometric ones would be suitable for the purpose. This will also complement an orange colored wall. If you are decorating a kid's room, then this would be a great option for you to try.
You have already seen the use of orange stools in the interior. You may also invest in orange upholstery fabric for your sofas, arm chairs, ottomans and pouffes. Lively orange cushion covers would also give a monochrome sofa an interesting look. Orange dining table tops would certainly be a charming choice for a dining room with a haute look. Though not exactly a piece of furniture, but orange lamp shades and lighting fixtures would also help you add color in a living room, kitchen, dining space or bedroom.
While orange paint is a great way of coating the walls with a bright color, don't forget about some other materials to use as a substitute. Orange ceramic and sandstone tiles would give your home a very appealing look. Laminated kitchen worktop having rust, copper, persimmon or saffron tone will immediately refresh the look of an otherwise simple kitchen.
Burnt orange or burnt sienna is a traditional favorite. It is most frequently used in Mediterranean homes. You may introduce burnt sienna in the form of terracotta floor tiles or roof tiles. Terracotta or porcelain tiles of the same hue could be utilized to deck up the garden path or the patio flooring.
Now you have some of the most ingenuous ways of integrating orange in the interior of your home. Why wait? Give your home a feel of summer before the season is actually here.
Don't forget to check out the trendiest colors of the season from here.
Which of these orange color combinations did you find most attractive?

3rd album, and first for Cyclic Law, by the enigmatic French Pyrenean ritual ambient act created by Yann Hagimont (Habsyll, « O », Ecce Homo) and Yann Arexis (La Breiche, Stille Volk, Ihan). Recorded in various natural locations throughout the mystical Pyrenean landscape, in ancient temple caves, sacred mounds and ruins using an array of acoustic and electronic sources and local field recordings. Cover Ord functions as an ode to lost ruins and mineral elements, chants summoning the rising of nature, a post-modern ritual for times of ecocide.

Celebrity Gossip > Ben Affleck reveals he was in rehab for alcoholism
Ben Affleck reveals he was in rehab for alcoholism
By Tribute on March 15, 2017 | 1 Comment
Ben Affleck is going public with his alcohol addiction and the steps he has taken to address it.
On Tuesday afternoon (March 14), the two-time Oscar winner shared news of his alcoholism on Facebook and revealed that he has "completed treatment" in an effort to face it.
He wrote, "I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront. I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step."
The 44-year-old Live by Night star then thanked his longtime partner Jennifer Garner, whom he has three children with and whom he has been involved with on and off since 2005.
He shared, "I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery."
Shortly after Ben made his Facebook post, E! News published a story that explored The Accountant actor's decision to seek professional help.
A source close to the outlet said, "He didn't want to cycle through anything he had dealt with in the past. He's moving in a healthy, balanced direction."
The unnamed source added that Ben's rehab stint had nothing to do with Jennifer and that he opted to go public with his announcement of his own accord.
The source explained, "He didn't want to hide. He will continue to work on it. This was a step, but it's a progressive process. He's in a good place."
Ben's upcoming film work includes Justice League, out November 2017, and The Batman, which has yet to schedule a release date.

SocketSense Research in MDPI
By Tobias Vahlne 2021-08-25 2021-08-25 News
MDPI Sensors, the renowned journal on the science and technology of sensors, accepted three different SocketSense manuscripts on topics related to the technological advancements of our developing innovative advanced sensor-based socket system. More specifically, the joint research publications are part of the special issue "Increasing Prosthetic Comfort through Sensor Technology" that belongs to the section "Biomedical Sensors". So, let's take a closer look at the SocketSense publishing accomplishments.
TWI Hellas, in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, produced a research paper on the SocketSense Sensor-Based Decision Support System (DSS) for Transfemoral Socket Rectification[1]. This manuscript aims to showcase the design of the DSS, the processes it follows, the socket rectification 3D simulation testings, and the value of the results for the final form of the prosthetic socket. Τhe paper's conclusive finding is that the intensity of discomfort at the stump is affected by the amount of rectification and the pressure distribution within the socket. Thus, the balance between them is crucial to the socket design.'
On the topic of sensor design, Össur, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Teesside University came together to work on a scoping review of the pressure measurements in the prosthetic sockets of transfemoral amputees during ambulation[2]. This publication includes an in-depth analysis of 12 scientific articles to evaluate how sensor systems can progress to become more effective. In more detail, the paper outlines the existent methodology for experimental studies on the intra-socket pressure sensor use for transfemoral amputees. It also suggests the introduction of interdisciplinary collaboration and a more open-access research approach. Moreover, sensor design innovations can be initiated through pressure sensors being developed alongside other types of sensors and with the help of clinical experts in prosthetics.
Last but not least, RISE Institute, in cooperation with Lusstech, focused on manufacturing sensors that can effectively measure pressure, shear and loss of friction/slippage while being low-cost, more environmentally friendly and scalable[3]. These prototype sensors have been made from magnetite-based QTSS™ (Quantum Technology Supersensor™) quantum materials. Their testing during a SocketSense pilot amputee trial showed that they can operate on flat and curved surfaces. They can also detect increasing shear forces and their consequent different directions while identifying loss of friction and slippage events. The research, testing and optimization process will continue as part of the SocketSense project in order to establish a prosthetic lower limb that excels in comfort and fit.

Q: Iterate in a UItableview - iphone I have a uitableivew made up of custom tablecells (of type FormCell). Each cell has a label and textfield.
I would like to iterate all the values to get user input (in other words, what is written in the uitextfields)
I have gotten as far as
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"FormCell" owner:self options:nil];
for (id oneObject in nib)
if ([oneObject isKindOfClass:[FormCell class]]) {
}

so i've got the cells but can anyone let me know what to do next please?
thanks!

A: You should have a Model Object / Collection that you use to keep the values that you get / set in your text fields.
Don't forget that as cells get dequeued you will have to reset the text in each textfield (as it's re-created in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: to make sure it doesn't disappear when the user scrolls.
Steps:
1. initialise an NSMutableArray (e.g. textFieldValues)
2. in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: create your cell. Set the textField text to be what you have in your collection to be your [textFieldValues objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
3. Make sure you set a textField delegate (self ?)
4. When the textField finishesEditing save the value in your textFieldValues array. To know which row was edited you can set the tag property of the TextField to be indexPath.row :)
Done.

Toronto recently took the top spot on a transit score ranking, which compared major cities' transit networks across Canada. The study was conducted by real estate brokerage, Redfin.
Redfin analyzed Canadian cities with a population of more than 300,000, and looked at the convenience and frequency of public transit. Toronto came in first with a Transit Score of 78, followed by Vancouver (74), and then Montreal (67).
We'll be honest - we weren't going to write about this ranking. Mostly because the results aren't that surprising; the three largest cities in Canada scored the highest for public transit, that just makes sense to us. But then we noticed a couple things...
First of all, coming in first with 78 seems like a problem. According to Redfin's Walk Score website, a 78 Transit Score means the city offers "Excellent Transit" and that "transit is convenient for most trips." This applies to any score up to 89. To be considered a "Rider's Paradise" with "world-class public transportation," the score has to be 90-100, which no major Canadian city received.
Montreal came in third with a 67, which means the transit is just "Good" and that there are "many nearby public transportation options." A score of 50 to 69 is considered Good. Calgary, Ottawa, and Winnipeg all hovered around the bottom of having "Good Transit" and Edmonton, Markham, Quebec, Surrey, Laval, Hamilton and London scored under 50, meaning they simply have "Some Transit."
Toronto may pat itself on the back for being ranked number one on this list, but it kind of seems like the city should be striving for Rider's Paradise scoring.
The other thing that caught our eye was that Blair Anderson, broker of record and market manager for Redfin in Toronto, acknowledged that people in Toronto complain about the public transit:
"Significant growth requires major transit infrastructure, and the city has recognized that and is investing in transit. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates in the city, and plans to expand the light rail and subway service. GO train, our commuter rail system, is also undergoing a significant expansion, to make it even more accessible to those living farther out. Some people moan and complain about public transit, but Toronto's system is one of the better transit systems in the world. It's highly ranked, runs well on a timely basis, and doesn't have many problems. And without it, the city would shut down."
He's right - people do complain about things like delays and crowded streetcars, but he's also right about how the city would shut down without its transit. So to all those who just missed a streetcar or ran towards subway doors only to have them close in your face, just remember that there's another one coming in a few minutes, and without this transit, getting to work would be even more of a slog.
That said, we can't help but try to think of ways that Toronto can score higher on the next Transit Score ranking. The city is growing, people are moving from around the world to live in Toronto, and many people already consider it a world-class city. How can transit keep up?

New scandal around fired Macron aide troubles France
ISTANBUL Europe
Dec 29, 2018 12:00 am GMT+3
France's Foreign Ministry threatens legal action against a former security aide to President Emmanuel Macron amid reports that he continued using his diplomatic passports after being fired for beating a protester. It's the latest in a web of scandals around Alexandre Benalla, whose association with President Macron deeply damaged the president.
Le Monde reported this week that Benalla recently traveled to Chad and Cameroon for high-level meetings, and investigative website Mediapart reported that he used diplomatic passports to do so.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Muhll said the ministry asked Benalla in July to return his two diplomatic passports but he hasn't complied. In a statement, she said the ministry "is examining next steps, including legal ones." The presidency confirmed on Thursday it had written to Alexandre Benalla in the last few days demanding more details of business trips to several African countries and telling him not to claim any links to the government. In the strongly worded letter to Benalla dated Dec. 22, Macron's office chief Patrick Strzoda warned the ex-bodyguard against divulging any confidential information gleaned during his previous job at the French president's side. "Let us be clear: we forbid you from claiming you have any kind of recommendation or tacit support from the presidency," Strzoda wrote.
"With regard to your current personal activities, we ask you to ensure they are conducted with strict respect for the confidentiality and ethical responsibilities of your time in this office." Strzoda further demanded that Benalla provide details of "personal and private trips" during his time working with Macron, including any payments. The presidency would be forced to respond to any previously undisclosed business dealings deemed "incompatible" with his former role, Strzoda warned.
The Benalla scandal marked a turning point for Macron's presidency and popularity from which he has found it hard to recover as other problems have piled up, including a stream of anti-government marches and riots by "yellow vest" protesters. The affair erupted in July after a video surfaced of Benalla beating a May Day protester. Macron fired him, but was accused by political rivals of acting too slowly and being out of touch. Benalla made a trip to Chad several weeks before Macron visited on Dec. 22 and 23, raising questions over whether he still had links to the president. Benalla, who is subject to a judicial investigation, has been quoted in several French news sites in recent days saying he was "shocked and scandalised" by suggestions that he had acted inappropriately. "Today I'm a consultant. I've been to around 10 countries in Africa," he told Le Monde. "I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing."
Macron's approval ratings fell below 20 percent in early December, even as he responded to the protests with an array of measures including canning an unpopular fuel tax and raising the minimum wage.

\section{Introduction}

      Spin gaps in low dimensional materials have been
investigated by a number of researchers.
      While origins and effects of spin gaps are fundamentally
and generally interesting, those for two-dimensional materials
are especially important in possible relevance to the high
temperature superconductivity.
      Recently Taniguchi et al.~\cite{Taniguchi} found a spin gap
in CaV$_4$O$_9$ by magnetic susceptibility and NMR measurments.
      CaV$_4$O$_9$ is a layered insulator and has spin degrees of
freedom at vanadium ions.~\cite{Bouloux}
      This is the first clear observasion of a spin gap in a
two-dimensional spin system.

      Theoretical efforts have been done to describe CaV$_4$O$_9$
as a two-dimensional Heisenberg model and to explain the origin of
the spin
gap.~\cite{Katoh,Ueda,Sano,Troyer,Albrecht,Miyazaki,Gelfand,Fukumoto,Sachdev
,White,Starykh,Albrecht2}
      Almost models considered are included, as special cases,
in a Heisenberg model with 4 kinds of exchange parameters;
$J_e$ for edge-sharing plaquette links,
$J_e'$ for edge-sharing dimer links,
$J_c$ for corner-sharing plaquette links and
$J_c'$ for corner-sharing dimer links as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:1}.
      In these studies authors assumed values or constraints
for the parameters and constructed their theories.
      Among them, Troyer~\cite{Troyer} performed a quantum
Monte Carlo simulation and argued that the system does not form
a spin gap in the unfrustrated homogenous case of $J_e = J_e' \ne 0$
and $J_c = J_c' = 0$.
      The spin gap is possibly formed by inhomogeneity:
i. e. the difference between $J_e$ and $J_e'$.
      It is also possible that the spin gap originates from frustration
due to nonzero $J_c$ and $J_c'$.
\begin{figure}
\vskip 6cm
\caption{
      Lattice structure for vanadium spins in a layer of
CaV$_4$O$_9$.
      The Heisenberg model examined in text includes
4 dependent exchange parameters $J_e$ (bold solid line),
$J_e'$ (solid line), $J_c$ (bold dashed line) and
$J_c'$ (dashed line).}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}

      In a previous paper,~\cite{Sano} we roughly estimated $J_e$ and
$J_c$ on the condition of $J_e' = J_e$ and $J_c' = J_c$.
      We fitted a high-temperature expansion to the order of $1/T^3$
for the susceptibility to experimental data.
      The result was $J_e \simeq$ 610 K and $J_c \simeq$
150 K with keeping the opposite possibility.~\cite{Sano2}
      Calculation of numerical diagonalization shows that the
frustration among interactions with $J_e$ and $J_c$ enhances
the spin gap in comparison with the case of $J_c =0$.
      This enhancement agrees with the result of a perturbation
calculation.~\cite{Ueda}

      Most recent experiments give more detailed information on this
material:
      (i) Neutron scattering measurement~\cite{Kodama} suggests
$J_c \displaystyle{ \mathop{>}_{\sim}} J_e$.
      (ii) ESR measurement~\cite{Kobayashi} precisely determined
the $g$-value as $g$ = 1.96, which is rather close to 2.
      The Curie constant is then $C$ = 0.003713 emu/g.
      As for our previous paper, experiment (i) rather supports
the opposite possibility for the values of the exchange parameters;
i. e. $J_c \simeq$ 610 K and $J_e \simeq$ 150 K.
     On the other hand, we have used $g$ = 2 of a free spin for
$g$-value without explicit notice there.
      This $g$-value is close to the truth.
      Gelfand et al. estimated the exchange parameters as
$J_e \simeq J_e' \simeq$ 190 K and $J_c \simeq J_c' \simeq J_e/2$
by various expansions.  In the estimation, they determined the $g$-value
as $g$ = 1.77.
      The difference between this value and the experimental value seems
to be hardly explained.

      In view of the above, we expect that the previous estimation
for $J_c$ and $J_e$ is roughly realistic, if we exchange the values
of them.
      However, the estimation still includes unsatisfactory points.
      First we examined a Heisenberg model including only two
independent exchange parameters, $J_e$ and $J_c$.
      It is at least necessary to independently treat parameters
for plaquette and dimer links in order to determine the origin
of the spin gap.
      Second we have a room to improve the fitting method.
      We obtained an expansion of the susceptibility of the
Heisenberg model up to a finite order and fitted it directly
to the experimental data.
      This method is rather usual for high temperature fitting.
      However the estimation is rough unless fairly high order
expansion is carried out, and it is hard to calculate high order
terms of expansion for a system with many independent
exchange parameters.

      In this paper, we  determine the exchange parameters of
the Heisenberg model to describe CaV$_4$O$_9$ in a novel
fitting method.
      Following this method, we first construct an experimental
formula for the magnetic susceptibility in power series of 1/T.
      This procedure is explained in detail in section 2.
      On the other hand, we obtain a high temperature expansion of
the susceptibility for a Heisenberg model with 4 independent
exchange parameters;  the expansion coefficients are functions of
the exchange parameters.
     We determine the parameters by fitting the expansion
coefficients to the coefficients of the experimental formula.
      The fitting is carried out in section 3.
      The result shows that the origin of the spin gap for this
material is the frustration rather than the inhomogeneity.
      Discussion is devoted in section 4.

\section{Experimental formula for susceptibility
at high temperatures}

      The experimentally obtained magnetic susceptibility,
$\chi^{EXP}(T)$, is a set of data for
$T \displaystyle{\mathop{<}_{\sim}}$700 K.
      We construct an experimental formula for the data
in a power series of $1/T$.
      The formula will be used to compare the experiment
to a theory at high tempratures.
      To make expansion coefficients dimensionless we use
$x=T_0/T$ as the expansion parameter, where $T_0$ is
an arbitrary constant with the dimension of temperature.
      We hereafter employ $T_0$ = 700 K without spoiling
generality.
      The formula is then written as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{chi}
     \chi(T) &=& \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \chi^{(n)}(T) , \nonumber \\
     \chi^{(n)}(T) &=& \frac{C}{T}
                                [ 1 + \sum_{m=1}^{n} A_m x^m ]
\end{eqnarray}
with Curie constant $C$ deteremined by the ESR measurement.
      Here the expansion coefficients $A_m$'s are fitting
parameters.~\cite{Fitting}

      To determine $A_m$'s we introduce a novel fitting method as
will be explained below.
      We first define the quantity
\begin{equation}
\label{phiFITd}
   \phi_m(x) = A_m + \sum_{l=1}^{\infty} A_{m+l} x^l
\end{equation}
for each $m$.
      It is important that the quantity reduces to coefficient
$A_m$ in the high temperature limit:
\begin{equation}
\label{phiFITh}
      \phi_m(0) = A_m.
\end{equation}
     $\phi_m(x)$ is also defined by the recursion equation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{phiFIT}
   \phi_0(x) &=& \frac{T}{C} \ \chi(T) , \nonumber \\
   \phi_m(x) &=& (\phi_{m-1}(x) - A_{m-1})
   \frac{1}{x}
\end{eqnarray}
for $m=0, 1, 2, \cdots$ with $A_{0}$ = 1.
      The experimental data corresponding to $\phi_m(x)$
is similarly defined in the recursive transformation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{phiEXP}
   \phi^{EXP}_0(x) &=& \frac{T}{C} \ \chi^{EXP}(T) , \nonumber \\
   \phi^{EXP}_m(x) &=& (\phi^{EXP}_{m-1}(x) - A_{m-1})
   \frac{1}{x} .
\end{eqnarray}
      Here $\phi_m$ fits $\phi^{EXP}_m$ because
$\chi$ is constructed to fit $\chi^{EXP}$.
      It is noticed that $\phi_m$ is only formally introduced
since the starting function $\chi$ is now unknown and
is the object which we will obtain finally.
      On the other hand we have the data $\chi^{EXP}$ and so
$\phi^{EXP}_m$ is actually obtained as is mentioned below.

      Now we determine $\{A_m\}$ together with
$\{\phi^{EXP}_m(x)\}$ one by one.
      For $m$ = 0, we have $\phi^{EXP}_0(x)$ by multiplying
$T/C$ to $\chi^{EXP}(T)$ and have $A_0$ = 1 by the definition.
      Next we obtain $\phi^{EXP}_1(x)$ by the transformation
$\phi^{EXP}_1(x) = (\phi^{EXP}_0(x) - A_0) /x$
in eq.~(\ref{phiEXP}) with $m$ = 1.
      To obtain $A_1$ we use a simple fitting function
$f_1(x) = a_1 + b_1 \exp(- c_1 x)$ and determine
the parameters $a_1$, $b_1$ and $c_1$ to make $f_1(x)$
fit $\phi^{EXP}_1(x)$ by the least square method.
      Using these parameters, $A_1$ is given by
$A_{1}$ = $f_1(0)$ = $a_1 + b_1$ corresponding to
$A_{1} = \phi_1(0)$ in eq.~(\ref{phiFITh}) with $m$ = 1.
      By repeating this process, we obtain $\phi_m(x)$
and $A_m$ for arbitrary $m$:
      When $\phi_{m-1}(x)$ and $A_{m-1}$ have been known,
$\phi^{EXP}_m(x)$ is given by eq.~(\ref{phiEXP}).
      Then we make function
\begin{equation}
\label{fm}
   f_m(x) = a_m + b_m \exp(- c_m x)
\end{equation}
fit $\phi^{EXP}_m(x)$ and determine parameters
$a_m$, $b_m$ and $c_m$.
      $A_m$ is obtained by $A_m = f_m(0) = a_m + b_m$
corresponding to eq.~(\ref{phiFITh}).
      Thus we can determine any coefficient $A_m$ inductively.

      In Fig.~\ref{fig:2}, we show $\phi^{EXP}_m(x)$ along with
$f_m(x)$ for $m$ = 1 to 4.
      Here we have used a weight function $\exp(- 1000/T)$
for fitting by the least square method.
      Optimal values for $a_m$, $b_m$, $c_m$ and $A_m$
are shown in Table~\ref{table:1}.
      In principle we can obtain coefficient $A_m$ for any $m$.
      However, experimental data $\phi^{EXP}_m(x)$ becomes
dispersive as $m$ increases, so that $A_m$ with very large $m$
cannot be obtained.
      When we change the weight function, the values of $A_m$'s change
with a strong correlation:
      $|A_m|$'s have a tendency to increase or decrease simultaneously.
      The error depending on the choice of the weight function seems
to be roughly several percents.

      We have obtained values for $A_m$'s within some accuracy.
      They are independent of $n$ if $n$ is sufficiently large.
      It is now instructive to substitute the values for $A_m$'s
into $\chi^{(n)}$ in eq.~(\ref{chi}) with small $n$ as well as
large $n$.
      Results for several values of $n$ are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:3}.
      $\chi^{(n)}$ approaches to $\chi^{EXP}$ as $n$ increases,
confirming the validity of this method.

\section{High temperature expansion for a Heisenberg model
and determination of exchange parameters}

      We assume that spins at vanadium sites in a layer of
CaV$_4$O$_9$ are described by a two-dimensional Heisenberg
model which is represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:1}.
      The Hamiltonian is written as
\begin{equation}
\label{Ham}
   H = \sum_{<i,j>} J_{ij} {\bf S_{i}} \cdot {\bf S_{j}} ,
\end{equation}
where ${\bf S_{i}}$ is the spin at site $i$.
      The exchange parameter $J_{ij}$ is $J_e$, $J_e'$, $J_c$
or $J_c'$ if it corresponds to a link indicated in Fig.~\ref{fig:1}
and is zero otherwise.

      By the high temperature expansion, magnetic susceptibility
of a Heisenberg model is generally written in the following form:
\begin{equation}
\label{chiHTE}
   \chi^{HTE}(T) = \frac{C}{T}
            [ 1 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} F_m x^m ]
\end{equation}
with $x = T_0/T$ and the experimentally determined Curie constant $C$.
      We have used $T_0$ = 700 K as in the previous section.
      The coefficients $F_m$'s are functions of the exchange parameters
and are calculated by the standard diagramatic method.~\cite{Rushbrooke}

      In the present model of eq.(\ref{Ham}), the coefficients $F_m$'s are
functions of $J_e$, $J_e'$, $J_c$ and $J_c'$.
      We obtained them for $m$ = 1, 2 and 3 as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Fm-J}
   F_1 T_0    &=& - \frac{1}{4} (2J_e + J_e' + 2J_c + J_c') ,  \nonumber \\
   F_2 T_0^2 &=& \frac{1}{4^2} [(4J_e - J_e') J_e'
           + 2 (2J_e + J_e') (2J_c + J_c') + (4J_c - J_c') J_c'] ,  \nonumber \\
   F_3 T_0^3 &=& \frac{1}{3 \cdot 4^3}
           [(8J_e^3 - 12J_e^2J_e' + 6J_eJ_e'^2 + J_e'^3)
         + 3J_c' (6J_e^2 - 12J_eJ_e' + J_e'^2)  \nonumber \\
        &-& 6J_c (4J_e^2 + 7J_eJ_e' - J_e'^2)
         - 3 (4J_c^2 + 12J_cJ_c' - J_c'^2) (2J_e + J_e')  \nonumber \\
         &+& (8J_c^3 - 12J_c^2J_c' + 6J_cJ_c'^2 + J_c'^3) ] .
\end{eqnarray}

      If the Hamiltonian (\ref{Ham}) completely describes the material,
we have $\chi^{HTE}(T) = \chi(T)$ or $F_m = A_m$ for all $m$,
where $A_m$'s are in Table~\ref{table:1}.
      However the Hamiltonian may only approximately describe
the real material.
      We can estimate optimal values for the exchange parameters
by minimizing the $k$th deviation
\begin{equation}
\label{D}
            D_k = \sqrt{\frac{1}{k} \sum_{m=1}^k (F_m - A_m)^2} .
\end{equation}

      In the present case, the exchange parameters are $J_e$, $J_e'$, $J_c$
and $J_c'$.
      We numerically minimized $D_3$ with $F_m$'s in eq.(\ref{Fm-J}) and
obtained the optimal values as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Je-Jc}
       J_e \simeq 480 \ {\rm K} , \ J_e' \simeq 530 \ {\rm K} , \nonumber \\
       J_c \simeq 580 \ {\rm K} , \ J_c' \simeq 540 \ {\rm K} .
\end{eqnarray}
      This estimation is the main result of this paper.
      The result shows that inhomogeneity is weak and frustration is
strong in this material.
      Thus the observed spin gap originates from frustration.
      These values yield deviation $D_3 \simeq$ 0.11 and possible
reasons of the deviation are discussed in the next section.

\section{Discussion}

      We introduced a novel method to estimate exchange parameters.
      This method is fairly general and so applicable to various systems
when we compare a Hamiltonian to experiment data.
      In the first step of this method, we constructed an experimental
formula for magnetic suscestibility in the power series of $T_0/T$.
      To examine the accuracy of this method, we applied it to a known
case: a Heisenberg model on a simple square lattice.
      The formula of high temperature expansion for this model is already
calculated.~\cite{Rushbrooke}.
      Using this formula instead of experimental data, we obtained
coefficients $A_m$'s in the way of section 2.
      We confirmed that the coefficients approximately repropduce the
original formula.

      We applied the method to CaV$_4$O$_9$ to describe it by
a two-dimensional Heisenberg model (\ref{Ham}).
      The optimal values for exchange parameters are shown
in eq. (\ref{Je-Jc}).
      The result shows that the strong frustration opens a spin gap
in this material.
      The optimal values yield a deviation of $D_3 \simeq$ 0.11.
      We cannot decide now whether or not this deviation is only
an error within this method itself.
      We point out other possible origines of the deviation.
      It is possible that the deviation comes from unexpected components,
e. g. VO$_2$, CaV$_2$O$_5$, CaV$_3$O$_7$, included in samples of
CaV$_4$O$_9$.
      The deviation also possibly means that the material includes some
degree of freedom which cannot be described by a Heisenberg model
(\ref{Ham});
      it might come from itinerant effect or effect of degeneracy of atomic
orbitals.
      Anyway what we have done is to approximately represent CaV$_4$O$_9$
by the Heisenberg model (\ref{Ham}).

      The values of exchange parameters are plausible if similar materials
have similar values.
      In CaV$_2$O$_5$ we estimated $J \sim$ 600 K by fitting the formula
for the one-dimensional Heisenberg model to experiment.
      This value is similar to a typical exchange parameter $\sim$ 500 K
for CaV$_4$O$_9$.
      In CaV$_3$O$_7$, $J_c \approx J_e$ is argued~\cite{Harashina}
by using a theoretical result.~\cite{Kontani}
      These results are actually similar to our result for CaV$_4$O$_9$.

      Using the values of the exchange parameters, we calculated the
spin gap of the Hamiltonian (\ref{Ham}) by the numerical diagonalization.
     The extrapolated spin gap $\Delta$ is given as $\Delta \sim$ 170 K.
     Considering the 10 \% deviation of the coefficients and errors for
extrapolation, this result seems to be consistent with the observed
value of $\Delta \sim$ 110 K.

Huo Gang was born in Nanjing City, China in 1932. He has a birth name of Huo Hsue-kang. Huo enrolled in the Fine Arts Department of Taipei Teachers College in 1950. Through Ouyang Wenyuan, he began learning with Li Chung-sheng and was introduced to the world of modern art. Huo founded the Oriental Painting Group with Li Yuan-chia, Wu Hao, Hsia Yang, Ouyang Wenyuan, Chen Tao-ming, Hsiao Chin and Hsiao Ming-hsien in 1957 and became a pioneering artist in the contemporary art movement of Taiwan. Huo moved to Europe in 1964 and settled down in Milan, Italy. Over the long years, he developed a successful career abroad and had nearly a hundred solo exhibitions. Having stayed overseas for 20 years, he returned to Taiwan and had a solo exhibition at the Asia World Art center in Taipei in 1985. In 1994, Huo had another solo exhibition at the Taiwan Provincial Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung (that is, the NTMoFA today). Thereafter, he has had several other exhibitions in Taiwan although he continues living overseas. Huo's works are much appreciated by Europeans. Some of them have been collected by the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome.
Huo Gang developed a geometric approach for his abstract works nearly 60 years ago and still adheres to it today. The artist places the simplest shapes of a circle, some triangles and some rectangles on a large color field to create a suggestive image. This geometric structure invites viewers to converse with it beyond all ideological borders.
Huo Gang is one of the "Eight Tough Painters" of the Oriental Painting Group. Led by their mentor Li Chung-sheng, who advocated modern art, these young artists caused a huge stir in the art community of Taiwan in the 1960s. As if they made an agreement with one another by coincidence, they left Taiwan to pursue an artistic career overseas, hoping to reform modern Taiwanese art by directly getting in touch with the west. They all showed a strong will to develop their careers, to confront tradition, and to create something new, including Huo Kang. It should be noted that, although Huo creates modern works of art, his creative spirit is based in oriental painting. During his early career life, Huo used ink and wash to create artworks, in addition to being inspired by stone engravings and calligraphy of the Han Dynasty. He advocated modern painting in a Chinese form, which looks mysterious and surrealistic. As he left Taiwan in 1964 to join the western art scene, he saw that Jackson Pollock, Franze Kline and Paul Klee applied calligraphy art to their own works, and was immensely inspired. He started to analyze calligraphy and oriental cultural totems, transforming the images into quiet, poetic geometric abstract shapes. From this he has been able to develop a unique painting style. He goes back to the most stable and simplest presentation using flat strokes and changing matière. With lines, shapes, colors and light dynamically arranged on the canvas, Huo brings peace of mind to his audience. In the meantime, poeticness is achieved through his "quasi flat carvings" pregnant with meanings and signs.

Grizzlies: Who won the job as Mike Conley's backup at point guard?
One of the team's longest lingering position battles has been settled.
The Grizzlies went into the offseason bent on shoring up their available insurance policies for starting point guard Mike Conley.
Conley, who recently turned 31, missed 70 games last season with a heel injury. Andrew Harrison and Kobi Simmons combined to make 58 starts in his stead, but the team wanted more. In addition to retaining Harrison, the team added Jevon Carter, the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft and two-time Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year, as well as Shelvin Mack, a 28-year-old veteran journeyman who signed a one-year deal with Memphis in July after several stops around the NBA.
J.B. Bickerstaff said Monday that Mack has emerged from the trio and will start the season as Conley's primary backup.
"He's solid, he's steady, he understands the game, he's got a high IQ and he's competitive as hell," he said. "There's no situation where he backs down. His emotion doesn't change. He's all about the team. I can't say enough good things about Shelvin and how pleasantly surprised I've been, just never having coached him before or really been around him.
Mack has made a career out of providing depth and leadership. He has started more than 11 games in a season once (27 for the Jazz in 2015-16) but sports a solid career slash line: 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
By all accounts, Conley is fully healthy, and his level of involvement in four of the Grizzlies' five preseason games (27.2 minutes per game) backs up that notion.
In four preseason games, Mack scored 8.5 points per game and averaged 3.0 assists.
GIANNOTTO: What did we learn this Grizzlies preseason?

(Ciep) – APPLICATIONS FOR NEW TRUSTEES HAVE NOW CLOSED.
The Cambridge Film Trust is looking to recruit new trustees to join us in our work running the Cambridge Film Festival and promoting film culture and education in Cambridge, the Eastern region and around the UK.
Our flagship event is the annual Cambridge Film Festival, one of the longest running and most diverse festivals in the country. We also have screenings and events year-round enabling people to be moved by, learn about and interact with film.
We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who want work on constructing and implementing our vision for the future of the Festival.
To apply please email [email protected] with your CV. The deadline for applications is Friday 6th April, 2018. If you have any questions about the role please do get in touch.
We're looking for people who, like us, has a love of cinema and a passion to engage diverse audiences with a broad range of films – especially films that might not otherwise be seen, as well as our aim to promote a better understanding and knowledge of cinema, and, through cinema, of the world around us.
We are particularly keen to recruit people with skills and expertise that will complement and strengthen our current board members. Skills we are looking for include:
Fundraising: As with all charities, raising funds is an essential part of our activity. We have recently begun to work more strategically on our fundraising in order to ensure the continued success of the Festival and its future legacy.
Business and financial expertise: There are particular financial implications in working with film exhibition, which has greater cost implications than many other arts events. As Trustees we need to oversee the financial planning of the Trust's activities.
Advocacy and Networking: We are keen to work with local individuals and organisations to promote the Festival and the wider work of the Trust, as well as to develop beneficial partnerships.
Please note, there are some legal requirements that may affect your eligibility to be a Trustee. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/charity-trustee-disqualification
We normally meet 6 times per year in central Cambridge. Meetings usually last 2.5 hours. It may be necessary to meet more regularly or to agree on a particular issue by email between meetings. We also rely on Trustees to get involved in fundraising events such as dinners and screenings, as well as our flagship event the Cambridge Film Festival.
We are able to provide any new trustees with training if they require it and we ask for the following commitments:
All trustees will be elected for a minimum of 24 months and become company directors.
All trustees will be expected to attend as many of the meetings as possible to conduct the business of the organisation and bring relevant expertise to the Board.
All trustees are expected to work towards the best interest of Cambridge Film Trust.
All trustees will be expected to sign a declaration of eligibility to show they are able to hold office.
You can find out more about the role of a trustee on the Charity Commission website.
There are many general benefits to acting as a charity Trustee: in simple terms, it is rewarding to help a charity to fulfil its aims and objectives. The Cambridge Film Trust is a small team and working with us provides incredible insight into the workings of a film festival and film exhibition in the UK. You will be working with a group of people with deep and broad expertise in film, from the perspective of industry, exhibition, programming, technical innovation, festivals, criticism, analysis and education.
Trustees receive complimentary tickets for events run by the Trust including Film Festival parties and screenings, and regularly meet film directors, actors and others involved in film production, distribution and exhibition.

Q: How do I get a discord bot to send a random message inside an embed in python So I wanted to use a command that puts a random message inside of an embed that also has a random gif attached to it, here is the code I'm using:
roastgifs = [
'https://tenor.com/view/roasted-oh-shookt-gif-8269968'
]

@client.command(aliases=['Roast'])
async def roast(ctx, member : discord.Member):
    global roasting
    global sus

    roasting = [line.strip() for line in open('jokes.txt')]
    sus = random.choice(roasting)

    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"{ctx.author.mention} roasts {member.mention}\n\"" + sus + "\"")
    roastgif=random.choice(roastgifs)
    embed.set_image(url=roastgif)
    embed.set_footer("footer")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

I can't find that many tutorials on yt and Google and even then they're probably js and not py so I resorted to coming here again.
Also I would greatly appreciate how to make the bot ping someone with an ID if that's alright.

A: Embed.set_footer takes only keyword arguments, and you're passing a positional argument
embed.set_footer(text="Footer")

Also a few things:

*

*You cannot ping in the embed title/footer (and somewhere else too, don't remember where atm)

*The gif won't load. You only can add pictures in Embed.set_image
Reference:

Anna & Cole are married!
It was so hard to narrow down photos from Anna & Cole's beautiful March wedding at the Villa on Lake Georgetown because not only were the details and venue amazing, but they are just awesome people! Anna teaches and coaches and Cole is a minor league baseball players, so both of them are in the position of a role model. Even just from shooting their wedding I know that they set a good example for the people they are in front of every day.
I love the cute robes the girls got ready in!
Pretty girls in pink! The beautiful flowers were actually done by some family members.
Oh man, the cloudy sky was a dream to shoot with!
But let me tell you, we had a good time trying to get a serious photo from the guys. They looked super sharp though!
The guest were greeted by a lovely display of vintage item and a guest book filled with photos of Anna & Cole, setting the stage for the vintage, romantic theme of the whole wedding!
This display of heirloom items, along with all the other vintage things, really did come from Anna's family! Anna's mom did an amazing job putting together everything in a way that was worthy of a professional, in my opinion.
The ceremony was decorated simply, and elegantly, with rustic tin buckets of baby's breath and a chandelier that I wish I could steal!
Despite the rain earlier that day, Anna's prayers were answered, the rain stopped, and the ceremony got to be outside overlooking the lake!
When I asked Anna what some of her favorite moment of the wedding were, she said that seeing Cole's reaction when she walked down the aisle was on of them. I have to agree, and I always love getting to photograph that moment!
The fading light presented a challenge photography-wise, but made for a gorgeous twilight ceremony! And the sunset with the clouds leftover from the storm? So pretty!
This wedding really showed that while natural light might be my forte, nighttime offers a totally different and seriously gorgeous opportunity to get something a little different!
The lovely pink and grey romantic, vintage theme carried through and made for a lovely reception! For favors, guests could make up bags of yummy candy.
The centerpieces almost made my vintage-loving self drool.
The precious mini cakes by Be My Cupcake tasted just as good as they looked!
The Villa on Lake Georgetown's reception hall is a great space for a party and I thoroughly enjoyed my first time shooting in the new building!
One of the most touching parts of the wedding for me was the dollar dance because unlike a typical dollar dance which raises money for the couple's honeymoon, Anna and Cole decided to make the dance a fundraiser for Anna's cousin's son, Logan, who is dealing with a rare form of childhood cancer. It was a really beautiful way to honor and support their family. Any prayers for Logan and his family would be greatly appreciated!
There were also some amazing dancers making the party super fun, aided by the always awesome DJ Blake Hunter.
In a tribute to Cole's baseball career, he put the garter on a baseball and pitched it, the fun kind of detail that really makes a wedding unique!
Congratulations, Anna & Cole! It was such a pleasure photographing y'all's wedding!
I have to also give a shout out to my amazing second shooter, Carlos, and assistant, Becca. Sometimes photographers get sick, and unfortunately I wasn't feeling too well on this day, but they supported me so well the whole wedding.

Q: KeyError when accessing Pandas data Frame in a For loop I am working with a Pandas dataFrame of an experiment that describes hand and head coordinates in VR (just_trials). In each trial, a virtual environment appears, then a black screen, and then again a virtual environment.
I have a column that describes the trial number ("staircaseCounterIndex", and another column that describes what the subject sees: a room or a black screen ("SceneName").
For example:

Because the data set shows me millisecond coordinates of motion, the values in SceneName, and in staircaseCounterIndex do not change as long as the scene has not changed or the trial is over, respectively.
I want to add a new column to the data set that will count me the times the subject has seen the room (i.e. after a room has appeared when previously there was a black screen will add +1 to the count).
Below is the code:
step_index = []
first_step = -2
step_num = 0

for i in range(2, np.shape(just_trials)[0]):
    print(i)
    if (first_step == just_trials['staircaseCounterIndex'][i]) and (just_trials['SceneName'][i] == 'Room'): # and just_trials['SceneName'][i-1] == 'Room': ## **Here is the error** ##
        step_index.append(step_num)
    elif just_trials['SceneName'][i] == 'BlackScreen':
        step_index.append(0)
    else:
        step_num += 1
        first_step = just_trials['staircaseCounterIndex'][i]
        step_index.append(step_num)

My problem is that when I try to run the code pycharm encounters an error in the third iteration of the For loop:
the line where the error occurs is marked in the code above.

But when I run the debugger, everything works just fine.
Would be thankful for your help,
Paz.

A: Try with .iloc for indexing.
just_trials['staircaseCounterIndex'].iloc[i]
