> Shareholders > Shareholder FAQs
Can I give shares to my children while I am alive?
Yes you may. Under the 1991 Amendments to ANCSA (43. U.S.C 1601 et seq.), you may only give stock to a person who is your child, grandchild, great-grandchild, niece, nephew, brother or sister and who is also a Native or a descendant of a Native.
What do I need to do to change my address?
In order to process an address change, we must have the change in writing from you, the shareholder. This is to ensure that only you are requesting this change. If you call with an address change, we will request that you send a letter. You can also download our address change form here and mail or fax it to (907) 443-2985.
How do I get my name changed?
We require a legal document that reflects the new name. Mail in the document with our Name Change Form or fax them to (907) 443-2985.
How do I devise my shares of stock to my heirs?
You can download the Will Form and execute it. This will must be notarized. You can also write to or call the Shareholder Department for the form. You may also devise your shares to your heirs in a formal will or stock will.
What happens if I leave no will devising my shares of stock?
Your shares of stock will be transferred to heirs under the Alaska State laws on intestate succession. This means that your shares will be transferred to your heirs by representation. (100 percent to spouse, no children; 50 percent to spouse, 50 percent to children; and so on)
What are my rights as a shareholder?
You have the right to vote in elections for the board of directors. You also have the right to receive dividends or other distributions from the corporation. If you are a non-Native shareholder by inheritance, you do not have the right to vote.
Can I sell my stock?
The 1991 Amendments to ANCSA continue the stock restrictions. These restrictions were originally going to end Dec. 18, 1991. Native stock cannot be sold, cannot be pledged as an asset, cannot be subjected to a lien or judgment, cannot be assigned, cannot be treated as an asset in bankruptcy or insolvency, and cannot otherwise be taken away.
Does BSNC provide for funeral expenses?
Yes, BSNC provides Shareholder Bereavement Assistance in the amount of $2,500 for the death of an original BSNC shareholder, a lineal descendent of an original BSNC shareholder, or the spouse of a living original BSNC shareholder.
What about Elder dividends?
BSNC honors the contributions of our Elder shareholders. The BSNC Board of Directors voted to issue a special Elder dividend of $1,000 for fiscal year 2018. This special dividend was paid to original BSNC shareholders who were 65 years of age or older on Nov. 5, 2018, the date of record.
Resource Revenue FAQs
7(i), 7(j) and at-large shareholders
The framers of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) anticipated that tensions would arise over the split estate of ownership between subsurface estate, which are owned by regional corporations and surface estate, which are owned by village corporations. They designed ANCSA to require a mechanism to redistribute a major portion of all proceeds from resource development such as oil and gas development, mineral development and timber sales, to all regional and village corporations. This helps balance the benefits of resource rich and resource poor regions and allows these benefits to be redistributed to many more shareholders and communities.
What is Section 7(i)?
Section 7(i) of ANCSA requires that, after certain allowable costs are deducted, each corporation is able to keep 30% of its net resource revenues, with the remaining 70% divided among the twelve Alaska-based regional corporations–including the distributing region. The portion of the 70% pool that each regional corporation receives is calculated based on the number of original enrollees to the corporation under ANCSA. Because the payments made to the regional corporations are required by Section 7(i) of ANCSA, they are known as 7(i) payments.
What is Section 7(j)?
Of the 70% pool that each regional corporation receives, 50% is kept and may be used for operating expense, payment toward its own shareholder dividend or investment. The other 50%, called a 7(j) payment, is divided among at-large shareholders and village corporations (based on their proportion of shareholders) in the BSNC region.
It is important to note that congress did not mandate that the village corporations distribute 7(j) payments to their own shareholders. Directors of each respective village corporation decide how to use their revenues in a wide variety of ways. At-large shareholders receive the payments directly because they do not have a village corporation to decide how the money will be used.
What are Class A and Class B shares?
BSNC currently issues two classes of shares: Class A shares are held by at-large shareholders who are not associated with a village corporation in the region or who may have inherited or been gifted at-large shares. Class B shares are held by shareholders also enrolled with a village corporation in the region.
Who owns at-large shares (Class A)?
At-large shareholders are shareholders who did not enroll in a BSNC village corporation. At the time of enrollment, these shares were generally issued to people who were living outside the region but whose family was originally from the region. A shareholder may own class A shares through inheritance or gifting. Please contact the shareholder department at (907) 443-5252 to see if you have inherited or been gifted at-large shares.
How much is the at-large dividend and when will they be mailed?
Because the amount of 7(i) monies distributed in any given year depends on each corporation's resource revenue activities for that year, it is not possible to predict 7(i) or 7(j) amounts. The amount is usually announced in February of each year and mailed out shortly thereafter. Sometimes there is variation due to the time that BSNC receives these payments from the other regional corporations.
Are at-large dividends taxable?
Yes. BSNC at-large shareholders will receive a 1099-MISC form for this distribution. The distribution must be reported as income on personal income tax returns.

Military Reports Killing of 50 Bandits in Zamfara, 28 Insurgents in Yobe
By Kingsley Nwezeh in Abuja and Michael Olugbode in Maiduguri
Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji at the weekend eliminated 50 armed bandits in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State, the military has said.
The onslaught against the bandits comes as the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, commended the military over the gallantry displayed in repelling Boko Haram fighters who attacked Gujba on Saturday.
A military update issued by the Directorate of Defence Media Operations (DDMO) said following intelligence, the troops, with close air support, engaged bandits in a gun battle at Kuriya village.
"In the course of the encounter, several bandits were killed in action while four soldiers sustained injuries. Human intelligence confirmed that no fewer than 50 armed bandits were killed in the encounter.
"Equally, troops recovered 272 livestock from the bandits," it said.
Also, troops deployed in Dunya village of Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, while on routine patrol recovered 62 livestock from armed bandits who fled into the bush on sighting them.
"Currently, the gallant troops have continued to dominate the theatre of operation with aggressive patrols to deny criminals freedom of action.
"The military high command commends the gallant troops for the feats recorded and encouraged them not rest on their oars until normalcy is restored to all troubled zones of the country," it stated.
Meanwhile, Buni has commended the military for repelling the Boko Haram attack on Gujba on Saturday.
He said the determination of the security forces in pursuing the insurgents was successful and would change the narratives in the fight against insurgency.
"The resilience and gallantry of the military is highly commendable and must be appreciated to spur them to do more," he said.
The governor called on Nigerians to support the security operatives in view of the security challenges in the country.
Buni assured the troops of the support of the government and people of Yobe State in combating insurgency.
"The government will continue to provide the necessary support for us to have peace in the state" he said.
He called on the people to provide information to government on suspicious movements in their communities.
28 Insurgents Killed in Yobe Clash
The military also gave an update on the clash with Boko Haram in Gujba, Yobe State, saying 28 insurgents were killed and others injured in the gun battle.
A statement yesterday by Acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Brigadier General Benard Onyeuko, said troops of the newly-launched Operation Tura Takaibango, a subsidiary of Operation Lafiya Dole, a military counter-insurgency operation in the North-east, has continued to obliterate elements of Boko Haram/Islamic State's West Africa Province criminals with uncommon ferocity.
Onyeuko said: "The latest encounter with the marauding Boko Haram criminals occurred on 9 January, 2021 at Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State where the gallant troops identified and encycled a Boko Haram criminals ambush site.
"The troops from HQ Sector 2 who were led by the Commander Sector 2 and later reinforced by troops from 27 TF Bde Buni Gari and Special Forces Training School Buni Yadi, tactically outmanouevered the criminals and engaged them with superior fire power resulting in high casualty on the terrorists.
"In the aftermath of the decisive encounter, 28 Boko Haram terrorists were neutralised while few others are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds."
He added that one Boko Haram gun truck was destroyed with its occupants and another gun truck captured .
He listed other equipment captured from the insurgents to include two anti-aircraft guns, 13 AK-47 rifles, four extra magazines and a vulcanizing machine.
He, however, said a soldier was killed and another one wounded.

When you head for a visit to London the usual things spring to mind; Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Big Ben and so on. I am here to tell you that there are so many other things that this great city has to offer, many of which you won't hear about unless you hear it from the locals.
Lucky enough for you guys reading, I am a local, so I have put together some great things for you to do the next time you're here in London. Of course, I think you should visit all the well known sights, museums and art galleries, but if you're looking for something unique and amazing then here's what you should do.
It sounds a bit ambitious, I know, but that's why it's awesome. Find a friend to join your group by contacting Flirt Escorts and rent a barge for the afternoon. You can spend your afternoon slowly making your way down Regent's Canal. You'll start your journey a little north of Paddington train station, then you'll meander on down to Camden Lock. It's a good idea to head to the Stables Market once you reach Camden, because you'll be well in the mood for a good meal, then make your way to Proud Camden to dance the night away. There are plenty of companies to choose from for your barge, just check out the reviews online before booking. When you tell all your friends who have visited London before about your afternoon they will be truly amazed!
I have done this loads of times, but just typing that again reminds me how cool it is. So head off to Colombia road nice and early, the flower market will open it's doors at 8am and having a good stroll around there is essential. Then find yourself a table at the Royal Oak, because you'll want to enjoy a proper English Sunday roast. After you're full up on Yorkshire puddings why not head back to the market to pick up some flowers, the market traders are always good fun and will assure that you can buy anything for just a fiver! There are plenty of really cool boutiques to be found behind the stalls, so be sure to have a peak.
Why not get out of the big city for a day? Just over an hour away are the famous white cliffs of Dover. I'm sure you've seen them in many movies and heard about them for years – they're well worth a visit. Make your way to Dover Priory train station via Victoria or St Pancras, from there you choose from any number of walks along the coast. They've got a great bunch of companies offering walking tours down there, so if you don't want to go it alone give them a call. It's a brilliant day out and you'll get that fresh sea breeze to blow off the cobwebs from the night before.

I like Pompeo Batoni's (1708-1787) paintings. A collection of the ten best picturised songs in the history of Hindi movies, with introduction, credits and videos. These songs also reflect the creative genius of those who made them. I love the fantasy aspect of this piece, which is considered one of the earliest Post-classical paintings of the three Graces. I particularly enjoy the harnessed swans pulling a barge. picplzthumbs This is one of twelve frescoes created by Del Cossa to commemorate each month of the year, utilizing mythology and the zodiac. "Allegory of April" is one of seven surviving frescoes in the series. This painting is the first tier of three. View the complete fresco here. The entire state is almost a continuous series of set aside public lands! I would heartily suggest visiting there. Even more to see but we squeezed in all that we could in the two weeks that we had.
"Les Poissons" is a humorous hit Disney song from the movie The Little Mermaid. Sung by a happy chef, the song brings entertainment to the actuality of a mermaid in a rapacious human world. picplzthumbs Sebastian got trapped in a kitchen with Chef Louis, and he saw all the dead fishes and other sea animals in the room. The scene serves as an eye-opener for Sebastian on how cruel the human world is. It ends with a perfect chase scene between Sebastian and Chef Louis. They bravely stand in front of microphones and blurt out our vision, hope and view for this country, which is from the minority losers in the last elections. In the same breath they conveniently forget that the whole American society wants change, and they are still backing the government, to this moment, about the change they wish for and have been waiting for.

Well, they certainly did not teach us anything about her in our history classes in school, did they! I think they left out a lot of history, and I love learning about new and fascinating people. Thanks for such a great job here on your research and I love the interesting photos too, especially that first one is precious. The artists themselves are there to talk about their art, and every piece is up for sale for you to take home immediately. The nearest tube station is Queensway and there's the park to walk around afterwards and a limitless supply of cheap eateries and bars close by too.
An excellent comparison of two female artists who were closely associated with the Impressionist group. Your thorough account of their feminist leanings and the feminine elements in their paintings highlights many of the dilemmas facing female artists. Well-written and thought-provoking hub. We will be judged by history as to whether our civilization did manage to care of its poor, weak, and destitute; or whether we let the rich people decide and run this country and government for us. But is seems like, at the very end, we, as the People of the US, always have the last word, and we get what we want, by hook or crook. We are not necessarily the silent lambs acquiescing with our detractors, we are a people, who even through times that are hard and harsh, we still dig down deep into our consciences and do the right thing.

Cosmopolitan Berlin is renowned for being one of the global centres of art and culture in the world with many galleries, museums in addition to being a popular choice for regular exhibitions from all over the world. You might find that the imagery you are working with is not enough, and you need to create your own shapes. There are six shape tools on the Tools panel for creating shapes: the Rectangle tool, the Rounded Rectangle tool, the Ellipse tool, the Polygon tool, the Line tool, and the Custom Shape tool. A shape can occupy its own layer, called a shape layer. When you select a shape or pen tool, three buttons appear on the options bar to let you specify whether you want your shape to be on a new or existing shape layer, be a new work path, or be rasterized and filled with a color. Shapes and paths contain vector data, meaning that they will not lose their crisp appearance if resized or reshaped. You can create a rasterized shape using the Fill pixels button, but you cannot resize or reshape the rasterized shape.
National Gallery – When you are in Trafalgar Square, you can visit this Gallery easily. picplzthumbs Bollywood music is spread across the whole spectrum of "NAVRASAS" or nine essential human emotions, one of which is "HASYA" or humour. When great singers and music composers joined hands with some of the best comic actors in the Bollywood movies, they produced some great hilarious musical numbers that have continued to regale and entertain millions over the last several decades. Glad you found this hub interesting and educational Alicia. It was my pleasure to share these paintings. "Goodbye My Lover" is a song sung by James Blunt who has a sad but a powerful voice. It is hard not to cry when hearing his anguish. This sad song is even more powerful because not only has he lost a lover, but a best friend as well. According to James, the song is about the woman who left him and he thought she was "the one". It is a very sad touching song.
Museum of Natural History (2 hours) – This was probably the most crowded museum. picplzthumbs My children loved seeing the animals and rocks. We skipped the large section on evolution. Make sure to notice the Hope Diamond. I also thought the mummified bull was neat to see as I've never seen one among the numerous Egyptian displays I have seen. The bottom floor has a nice bird display, which you might miss if you enter on the level with the elephant. Tip #1: The butterfly exhibit is free on Tuesdays (normally $7), but timed-entry tickets are required. Get the tickets at the Butterfly Pavilion box office beginning at 10 am. The tickets go fast! Tip #2: The museum has 2 entrances: one facing the mall and one diagonal from the National Archives. If you arrive just after a busload of 4th graders, you might want to head to the other entrance.
The painting by Pablo Picasso titled Guernica is an Open Expression example of sociopolitical art. Though most all people who look upon it do get the artists message of the pain and destruction of war, Picasso is not directly spelling out his message; it is still open to interpretation or simple viewing. There is no road sign to tell us where this scene takes place. No dropping bombs are visible to tell us the destruction was not caused by a natural disaster or some other event. The viewer is left to ponder the emotional aspects of the image and to relate to what they see as they need. Because this painting is so very open in expression, it's sure to continue being personally interpreted by viewers for many, many years to come.

Springtime is a glorious season in which to come to London. 1696-97—Muri, Switzerland: Francesco Antonio Giorgioli decorates the church of Kloster Muri, a Benedictine monastery near Basel, Switzerland, with more than 200 frescoes, including an image of an angel-trombonist (see below image; public domain) (special thanks to David Joseph Yacus). Susan, I know EXACTLY which Jimmy Buffett song you're referring to. I had the "live" version (with the hoots and whistles of the audience in the background) on a double LP (if you're old enough to know what LPs were). Had an uptight, overly-religious neighbor who was the pianist for her holy-rollers church and had her own piano up against our common wall. Knew how to use the foot pedals to increase the "bass" effect, too. Would practice EVERY MORNING at the butt crack of dawn, but I never complained. picplzthumbs Well, not in words.
European travel beginning in France and continuing through a wilder Switzerland in 1802 resulted in high and low vantage point sketches and paintings of central France, the Rhine Valley and the Swiss Alps. The Alpine region at this time had not yet been opened up by the railways and passage between cantons would have been hazardous to say the least. This period of Continental wayfaring was followed up by subsequent travel to Venice. Several of his works took the observer around the city including the Grand Canal with the Cathedral of St Mark at some point in the background. It was in 1819 with the Napoleonic threat well in the past that Turner first arrived in Venice. One of his most memorable images from his travels here was the church of San Giorgio Maggiore (St George the Great) sketched in the early morning one day during his first visit to the city. picplzthumbs Almost a complete departure from his study of Lambeth Palace, the picture is moody and recognisable only as a well-known building if you already know it and its location.

The SWF file extension is an open file arrangement utilized for multimedia, especially in raster and vector graphics. picplzthumbs Basically, a vector graphic is a scalable art file made in a program such as Adobe Illustrator. These files typically end in one of the following extensions:ai,eps,ps,svg orpdf. Instead of an image being made up of a ton of pixels laid out and plotted forever in their unique spots, a vector graphic stores the information on the location of many points (anchors) so that your graphic can be made larger or smaller without losing any image clarity at all. You can zoom in to your graphic until you're so close, you'd be able to see bacteria in real life. And even at this close level, there are no blurry pixels. Instead, you see the same number of pixels as you saw when zoomed out, only re-organized to sharply portray a tiny point on your overall graphic.
Obama collected money from the masses using the Internet and other new technologies being unfurled at a rapid pace to the consumers. The connection of the electorate to each other facilitated for better organization and information distribution at lightning speed giving advantage to the masses to be one step ahead of the media and the politicians. The citizenry in this young and budding civilization were abuzz with excitement and anticipation of the coming new era. There has also been quite a few songs that were written and recorded about trucking and truck drivers. Some of these songs are: "Six Days on The Road," by Dave Dudley; "Movin' On," by Merle Haggard; "Phantom 309," by Red Sovine; another song by Sovine: "Teddy Bear" and "Driving My Life Away," by Eddie Rabbit. Now, unless you have just found this hub, now realize that diesel trucks and truckers are more like our modern-day heroes and inspiration for such songs as these.
Turner's style was, fortunately for him, acknowledged early in his lifetime. picplzthumbs A great degree of financial independence allowed him the freedom of travel many artists craved and never enjoyed. Ruskin told of Turner as being the artist who could most stirringly and genuinely gauge nature's moods. His themes ranged from shipwrecks, fires (he hastened to sketch the burning of the Houses of Parliament in 1834 when they accidentally caught fire), natural disasters and phenomena. He was much taken by the awesome power of the sea as seen in 'Dawn After the Wreck' (1840) and 'The Slave Ship' (also 1840) showing the effect of the full fury of waves churned up by the wind onto rocks close under the surface.

His highness Aga Khan IV, KBE, CC, GCC, GCIH, Prince Karīm al-Hussainī, is the 49th and current Imam of the Nizari Muslims, the largest branch of the Shia Ismaili community. Not only does the 74-year-old man boast a bewildering array of decorative initials, lineage to the Prophet Muhammad, and the largest horse racing and breeding operation in France (who would have thought?) – he is also the proprietor of an Islamic art collection that spans a millennium. And now 200 of its highlights are being displayed for the first time ever, at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.
Treasures of the Aga Khan Museum sweeps visitors into the Islamic world: first with an array of ancient Qu'ran manuscripts, and then with exhibits filed under such headings as "Mysticism", "Pilgrims' Routes" and "The Quatar Dynasty". It is, of course, impossible to get a full grip on a thousand years-worth of history and art in just a few hours, but the exhibition successfully relates the objects on display to the epoch from which they come.
The focus is mainly on the Qu'ran; on one striking, green-painted cotton cloth from 1130-32, the entire holy text is painstakingly inscribed in a miniature hand. Pilgrim flasks – one from 7th-8th century Greater Iran – and beggars' bowls fit for kings transport the visitor back to the voyages of Muslim pilgrims to Mecca and Medina.
Other highlights include a fine ink painting, "Prince Visits Hermit"; an early 14th century brass candlestick; and a Golden Compass-esque "silver-inlaid brass planispheric astrolabe". At the end of your journey, you are greeted by the Iranian ruler Karim Khan Zand who, kneeling on a rug with his shisha pipe in hand, is the very picture of relaxed Persian regality.

PCMag Australia | Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat With Sensor | Review
Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat With Sensor
byJohn R. Delaney Jul 30, 2019
Easy to install. Remote room sensor. Works with Alexa, Cortana, and Google voice commands. Dual-band Wi-Fi.
No HomeKit support. Doesn't integrate directly with other Honeywell smart devices. Limited IFTTT functionality.
The Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat is a dual-band Wi-Fi thermostat that uses long-range sensors to provide uniform temperatures throughout your home.
The Honeywell Home T9 With Sensor ($199.99) is a feature-packed smart thermostat that uses remote room occupancy sensors to ensure uniform heating and cooling throughout your entire home. Easy to install and manage using a built-in touch-screen display, a mobile app, or your voice, the T9 offers dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity and works with other smart home devices via IFTTT applets, although IFTTT trigger options are limited. It worked flawlessly in our tests, but it lacks a few of the extra features that you get with our Editors' Choice, the Ecobee Smart Thermostat With Voice. It's a bit more expensive at $249, but it has the ability to function as an Alexa speaker and features support for Apple HomeKit, making it worth the extra $50.
As with the Honeywell Lyric T5 that we reviewed a few years back, the T9 thermostat eschews the round puck-like form factor used by the first Lyric thermostat and popularized by Honeywell's original T86 model. Instead, it uses a white rectangular enclosure that measures 4.9 by 3.7 by 0.9 inches (HWD) and has a 3.3-inch (diagonal) color touch display. The thermostat contains temperature and humidity sensors and is equipped with dual band Wi-Fi circuitry that allows you connect to your home network over the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands.
The T9 comes with a wireless smart room sensor, a C-wire adapter (for homes that don't have a C-wire), mounting screws, a mounting plate, wire labels, and an installation guide. The thermostat is compatible with most standard HVAC systems and contains push-to-connect wire terminals for heating and cooling as well as auxiliary terminals for things like heat pumps and fans.
As with the Ecobee Smart Thermostat With Voice, the T9 uses smart occupancy sensors to ensure that when people are present, the temperature in select rooms is the same as the room temperature where the thermostat is installed. It comes with one sensor, but you can buy additional sensors (up to 20 total) for $39.99 each or $74.99 for a two-pack.
The T9 supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana voice commands, but doesn't yet offer support for Apple HomeKit, although that is in the works. You can have it interact with other smart home devices using IFTTT applets, and it works with the Lutron and SmartThings home automation platforms. However, it doesn't integrate with other Honeywell smart devices such as the Lyric C2 Wi-Fi Security Camera and the Lyric Wi-Fi Water Leak and Freeze Detectors.
The thermostat can be controlled and programmed using its touch display or the Honeywell Home mobile app for Android and iOS (the same app that controls Lyric smart devices). The app opens to a screen that displays the local weather conditions and has tabs for all of your Honeywell Home devices including thermostats, cameras, and water sensors. Tap the T9 thermostat tab to open a screen that shows the same information as the thermostat's display. At the top of the screen are the current room temperature and humidity readings, and right below that you'll find the current target temperature and up/down arrows for adjusting the target temperature. At the bottom of the screen are Mode, Fans, Priority, and Schedule buttons. Use the Mode button to turn heating and cooling on and off, and use the Fans button to change fan settings (if fans are connected).
The Priority button allows you to select rooms that will contribute to the average temperature in your house. For example, you can have just the T9 determine the average temperature based on your target temperature or have rooms that show activity (occupancy) contribute to the average. The Schedule button takes you to a screen where you can create heating and cooling schedules for a group of days or single days. Here you can also enable geofencing to have the T9 adjust temperatures when you (and your phone) are at home or away.
Tap the gear icon in the top right corner to access the Settings screen. Here you can manage alerts, set filter reminders, enable Adaptive Recovery (begin heating and cooling early so that your house reaches its target temperature on schedule), and congifure Wi-Fi settings. The Devices & Sensors setting lets you check the temperature and humidity in each room where a sensor is located, check sensor battery levels and signal strength, and enable motion detection.
Installation and Performance
As with most of today's smart thermostats, the T9 is easy to install, but you might want to bring in a professional if you're not comfortable working with electrical wiring. Start by turning off power to the circuit that runs your current thermostat. Take pictures of the wiring scheme and use the included labels to identify these wires later on. Remove the old thermostat, disconnect the wires, and pull the wires through the hole in the T9's mounting plate. Attach the plate to the wall using the mounting screws (also included) and connect each wire to its corresponding terminal. If your system doesn't have a C-wire (common), follow the instructions to install the C-wire adapter. Once the mounting plate is wired up, snap the T9 into place, wait for the thermostat to power up, and follow the instructions on the touch panel.
When prompted, tap Get Started and select your language. You'll then be prompted to select a room, a temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit), your heat type (radiant or forced air), and system type (hot water, steam). Once all of this data is entered, you'll be asked to install the sensor, which is as easy as putting in the two included AAA batteries and pressing the pairing button. In my testing, the sensor was identified in around 20 seconds. I assigned the sensor to a room and followed the instructions to mount it about five feet from the floor away from air vents and out of direct sunlight.
Next, I was prompted to connect the thermostat to my Wi-Fi. I tapped Get Connected, selected my Wi-Fi SSID, entered my password, and was connected within 25 seconds. I tapped Connect App, downloaded the app, created an account, and tapped Add Device. I selected the T9 from the list and waited around 10 seconds for the device to be recognized, at which point the thermostat screen displayed a four-digit code. I entered the code into the app and after 15 seconds or so the T9 was registered and the installation was complete.
The T9 performed beautifully in our tests. It quickly responded to temperature changes using the touch screen and the mobile app, and it followed my heating schedules without issue. The remote room sensor followed the T9's target temperature to a tee and geofencing worked as advertised. Temperature and humidity alerts arrived instantly whenever a threshold was reached.
Alexa voice commands also worked well. I had no trouble setting the T9 to a specific temperature target for a specific amount of time or starting a schedule using my voice, and Alexa always provided the current temperature when asked. My IFTTT applet to change the target temperature when a Ring camera detected motion worked fine, but there were no applet choices to have the thermostat trigger another device. For example, with the Ecobee Smart Thermostat, I was able to create an applet to have a smart plug turn on when the thermostat detected a certain humidity level (I had a dehumidifier plugged into the smart plug). There are no such trigger options offered on the Honeywell Home IFTTT channel, although a spokesperson has confirmed that more T9 trigger options will be added.
The Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat With Sensor makes it easy to maintain uniform temperatures throughout your home. You can add up to 20 remote room sensors that can help reduce heating costs by telling the T9 if a room is occupied or unoccupied. The thermostat is easily controlled using Alexa, Cortana, or Google voice commands or from your phone using the Honeywell Home mobile app, but HomeKit support isn't yet available. While the T9 will work with other smart devices using IFTTT, applet choices are limited for now, but more will be added in the near future.
If you can't wait for HomeKit compatibility and want a smart thermostat that does more than control your heating and cooling system, check out the Ecobee Smart Thermostat With Voice. It not only supports most of the popular voice platforms and is HomeKit ready, but it functions as an Amazon Alexa device that streams music, gives you the latest news, supports Alexa Calling and Messaging, and does everything that an Amazon Echo speaker does. It's also very easy to install and works with a host of other smart devices and home automation platforms. As such, it remains our Editors' Choice for smart thermostats.
Bottom Line: The Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat is a dual-band Wi-Fi thermostat that uses long-range sensors to provide uniform temperatures throughout your home.

A Child Destroyed a Texas Interchange and TxDOT Was Thrilled With It
Lance Ballance
Lance Ballance Published: May 17, 2021
Screenshot: KXAN.com
This past weekend, the fantasy of every small child became a reality for a 6-year-old leukemia survivor in Texas.
As Texas is the world's capital for road construction, the interchange between US 183 and I-35 in Austin is in the process of being upgraded. TxDOT is building a new interchange that is shorter and "less steep" for drivers. I'm sorry, but I kind of like those interchanges that bring me to dizzying heights, and then let me fly down to the freeway like a fighter pilot. That's the kid in me.
However, when it came time to take down the existing sections of roadway to facilitate the new interchange, TxDOT went with an expert in demolitions who would most effectively do this hazardous job.
A 6-year-old boy.
According to KXAN in Austin, TxDOT teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and gave the task to a young man named Archer. With a name like that, this kid has a future.
Just after 6 a.m. on Saturday, May 15th, Archer was given the opportunity to press the button that brought down the overpass, turning it into a pile of rubble. Which is every 6-year-olds dream. According to KXAN, Archer was pretty pleased with his result:
"I blew up a bridge," said Archer on Saturday morning. "It was fun and it was loud!"
I'm sure that every little boy who ever spent time playing with toys, would delight in building giant LEGO structures, only to gleefully channel their inner Godzilla and knock them down with impunity. It's what kids do, and it's cool that Archer was able to scale up his destructive footprint.
Kudos to TxDOT and Make-A-Wish for giving this young man the thrill of a lifetime.

I've been pretty disconnected from the rest of the world, particularly pop culture, so I've taking some time to catch up on the rest of the world.
During my absence from the real world some really great TV shows have cropped up, notably So You Think You Can Dance, and Glee. But there's a problem with Glee.
Before I watched Glee, I could walk through the aisles of the grocery store in relative peace. Now, I have to resist the urge to belt out a song. **Sigh** Am I the only one? Does Glee have this affect on everyone?
Regardless, recharging is important, and sometimes, even I need a break. What do you do to recharge?
Oh, and since some people asked, here's a picture of those black pearl earrings.
I've been doing that since high school - singing at the grocery store that is. My kids are lucky that I don't put a dance with it anymore. Which reminds me of this music video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUe3oVlxLSA Anyway, Don't be afraid to belt it out!
That video totally cracked me up! Now I'll never look at the canned soup aisle the same.
Yes! Life should be a musical! Then we'd all know what we wanted out of life, and we'd know how to get it in three acts... Hmmm, I wonder which act I'm in.
I've worked in places that had interaction with the mythical "public" and you are 100% right. I won't even land in the top ten of strange things for the day.
Hhhmmm, video games, that's what I've been doing wrong, I haven't been playing any.
I second the video game comment. Nothing like a good zombie-killing session to recharge the brain!
Yes, some zombie-killing is definitely in order here.
at least your dancing WITH you singing right? too funny. new follower, hi!
Hi Tammy! And yes, I dance whenever I can.
Ooh your earrings are pretty.
Thank you, I love my earrings. They are absolutely perfect for me.


We examine the causes of voting by exploiting a historically unique set of official registers that include individualized information on turnout as well as other individual characteristics in the city of Barcelona in the 1930s. The nature of the individual and the geocoded data allows us to examine the full political and social dynamics of voters' mobilization.
Contrary to the view that inequality reduces turnout, political participation among low income voters is higher in democracies with very high levels of inequality and intermediate levels of state capacity. We address this puzzle by analyzing the link between political mobilization and spending decisions at different levels of inequality and state capacity. We exploit a quasi-experiment, the anti-corruption audits by the Brazilian federal government on its municipalities.
In this paper we explore how increasing immigration levels affect parties' strategies across OECD democracies. We develop a formal model according to which a welfare nativist preference accounts for the conditional relationship between immigration, inequality and parties' strategies. The results show that compensatory platforms and protectionist stands are oftentimes complementary responses to rising immigration levels.
According to most of the available evidence, women were less likely to turn out than men when they got the right to vote. Much less is known, however, about the root causes of female political participation upon formal electoral enfranchisement. We argue that ideological activation before female enfranchisement is key to understand the variation in the gender turnout gap. This pattern is analyzed by exploiting the post-WWI collapse of the heavily-feminized textile sector in Catalonia.
The degree to which is the legislative median party or, instead, government members what shapes policymaking remains somewhat of a puzzle. In this paper we establish the institutional conditions under which we expect the median legislator in the left-right dimension to dictate redistribution, a policy that is quintessential to this dimension of political competition.

Governor Charity Ngilu has restated the need to support women realize growth and influence development in the county.
Speaking at Migwani Catholic Church today during the Parish's Catholic Women Association funds drive, the Governor said empowering women was key to achieve real development across the county.
She said the county will support women groups, to start small businesses and enjoy quick access to business loans to promote entrepreneurship and create employment.
"You need to be organised in women groups to get access to such funds" Ngilu said.
The Governor said she would join their fundraiser in future in efforts to acquire a bus, which will facilitate their group's business and movement.
She lobbied for their support and awareness on the Artificial Insemination programme that her adminstration initiated, saying it was time to realize the role of technology in the modern day farming.
"Lets embrace the subsidized tractor ploughing and appreciate the Artificial Insemination in changing the quality of beef and the quantity of milk" She pleaded.
Ngilu said women were the embodiment of families and advised they stand firm for their families.
The Governor was accompanied by the County Executive Committe Member for Tourism Sports and Culture Patrick Musau, Chief Officer James Songolo, Value Chain Specialist Dr. Temi Mutia, and the Area MCA Phillip Nguli (Kalumaita) among other county government officers.

Desiree O · Jan 10, 2019
Melissa McCarthy is one of the most talented and in-demand women in Hollywood, but in the past, some people have chosen to focus not on her acting ability but on her appearance. She opened up to InStyle about some of the body-shaming she experienced earlier in her career, recalling a couple of instances in which critics or interviewers called her "grotesque" or asked about her "tremendous size."
"Years ago I was at a press conference for either The Heat or Tammy, and somebody from a very big organization kept asking me, 'Why do you always feel the need to be so grotesque?'" the Bridesmaids star told the magazine for its "Badass Women" issue. "It was a huge interview with maybe 100 people in the room, and he was sneering."
McCarthy said she told him she didn't understand his question, to which he replied, "You look sloppy, you're not wearing any makeup, your hair is not done, you're yelling at people."
She asked if he had ever posed the same question to a man and pointed out that she was playing a character in a film. "He goes, 'Oh, fine, I'm aggressive, call it whatever you want. If you don't want to answer the questions, you shouldn't come to the panel,'" she told the magazine. "I was like, 'I really want to answer your questions. I'm sorry I didn't wear makeup in a part. I'm sorry I didn't look pleasant for you. But I also don't think you should be here writing about movies."
Unfortunately, that wasn't an isolated incident. McCarthy recalled another interviewer who "kept asking, 'Are you shocked that you actually work in this business at your tremendous size?' … He was like, 'Oh, your tremendous size, you can actually work?' I just remember all the blood drained out of me. I thought, 'With my tremendous size, I could tackle you so quickly.'"
McCarthy said she tried to redirect the attention to the movie she was promoting at the time. And after the segment, a producer apologized and said they would never air the footage of what the interviewer had asked.
"But it happens all the time," she told InStyle, "to the point where it's fascinating because they don't do it to men. … I think there is a weird layer in the world [for women] where it's not just about looks but it's also, 'Are you pleasant? Do you not make trouble?'"
These days, thankfully, the buzz around McCarthy is all about her performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, for which she earned both a Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild nomination. She's also up for Best Leading Actress at the BAFTAs.
Are you surprised by the severity of body-shaming Melissa McCarthy has experienced? Let us know @BritandCo.

The summer has arrived! And came along the time of refreshing drinks. As a number one this year, we are serving matcha spritzer with apple juice and lime. It's like a sophisticated cousin of lemonade! It contains no alcohol, so you can enjoy it first thing in the morning.
Put all the ingredients except for sparkling water in a blender and mix for 2 minutes. Divide into two glasses. Halve the lime, squeeze a little bit of juice (from one half to one glass) and put the rest of it in the drink, together with the ice cubes. Fill the glasses up with sparkling water, mix each drink with a straw and enjoy.


RAV4 suspension consists of MacPherson struts up front and double wishbones at the rear. The front uses wide-based L-shaped lower arms mounted to a tubular sub-frame for greater stability. A linear control valve is used with low-pressure gas-filled dampers to ultimately reduce body roll, smooth the vehicle's response to steering input and reduce vibration over rough surfaces.
The rear suspension, meanwhile, is also mounted to a sub-frame and has more wheel travel than the previous model.


Departments within Barfleet help separate individual duties and personal desires. All crew members join a department in which to learn and grow. Each department has different specialities and task to accomplish.
»Tag: Red Has the responsibilities of overseeing all activities that his department is connected with. The rights of a Commander are almost limitless, as are the powers of the rank. Commanders are, however, required to be generally fun at all times, lest he anger the Commodore, which may be cause for accidental death or dismemberment.
» Intelligence; There are advantages to being part of the Crew. Those advantages diminish if we can't tell the difference between Crew and guests. Intelligence is in charge of checking Crew into the party, signing up new members, Crew renewals and merchandise parties.
» Logistics; This crew helps is responsible for moving equipment or the Battle Bar. This is a very important job that all crew should participate.
» Communications; Enquiring minds want to know what the each ship is up to. Communications helps to answer those questions with websites and other communication vehicles.
• Ability to write interesting and engaging mission content (e.g.
»Tag: Blue The medical staff makes sure party guests achieve and maintain the state of intoxication optimized to ensure maximum party enjoyment. They do this by treating party guests to the most delightful (and occasionally devilish) concoctions in the universe. It requires great skill to create these delicacies (and occasional instruments of torture). Free pour (Crew) bar shifts require actually bar tending skills. Bar back duties require being sober and / or coordinated enough to refill alcohol and mixer containers in a crowded space. Public bar shifts require looking good, pouring from our pre-mix containers, and mixing a few specific two-ingredient drinks (for example, rum and coke).
» Science Department; Research and development or any specialized knowledge which benefits BarFleet.
»Tag: Gold The right party space makes all the difference – and the Engineering staff is in charge of making sure the ship and the adjoining space stations are up to the party challenge. Between missions, engineering is in charge of making sure the ship is maintained to ensure optimal recreational performance. Engineering Crew perform most of their duties before and after the parties. They are also responsible for picking up cups and taking out trash during the parties. A clean party is a safe party!
»Tag: Black We're a merry lot, and we keep it that way by keeping careful tabs on the party crowd. Security makes certain that nobody under age comes into the party, and that people in the party stay under control. They are also in charge of making sure the party atmosphere keeps the girls comfortable.
»Tag: Green The recreation department makes sure that the party room – and the people in it – are decorated. Recreation is in charge of finding and auctioning willing people at the parties. Recreation is also in charge of food and other arrangements for our private parties.
» Decibel Coordination; The Decibel Coordinators spin the tunes that keep the dance floor hopping.
»Tag: Camo This department takes a lot of dedication and desire to be all you can be. Party Marines are cross-trained in Medical, Engineering, Security, and Recreation. The Indycent refers to this position as a Barines.
»Tag: Purple The position of Yo!Man! or Yo!Woman! is one of great honor and responsibility, and it can be granted to any member for any reason by any Senior Officer. That Yo!Man! or Yo!Woman! is then bound to said Senior Officer in ways that cannot easily be imagined, and is expected to make the Senior Officer's welfare and pleasure their primary concerns (except when that would mean that they can't have any fun themselves). This position is like, but shall not be confused with, slavery.

MOHE to draw up research priority roadmap for varsities
Published 2 years ago on 12 January 2017
Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said this was part of the effort to make local universities play a role in seeking solutions to national and international issues. — Picture by Siow Saw Feng
PUTRAJAYA, Jan 12 — The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) will draw up a Research Priority Roadmap 2107 which will focus on the Grand Challenge programme of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which will be led by local research universities.
Its Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said this was part of the effort to make local universities play a role in seeking solutions to national and international issues.
Announcing 2017 as the Year of Translational Research, Idris said the universities could play a role to benefit industry, academics, government and society in general.
For instance, he said, researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) were successful in increasing padi output and quality.
He added that the use of membrane technology to treat water during floods by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) researchers and the research to detect the Zika virus by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) which was used during the Rio Olympic Games were also proof of the importance of translational research.
Speaking at his 2017 New Year's Message with the theme "They Shape Higher Education" at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here today, Idris also said teaching and learning methods of higher education must change to become more active, interactive, immersive, challenge-based and include more role-play.
"In this way, we will achieve the apex of educational objectives in 'Bloom's Taxonomy' which is not just to remember but also to create," he said. Idris said the teaching and learning concept where students study by themselves and are only recipients of knowledge must be changed so that they become co-curators of knowledge in line with rapid technological developments.
"Besides changing the minds of educators, reviewing the teaching and learning methods in higher education will also be guided by the latest technological developments which are rapidly expanding," he said.
At the event, Idris also announced setting up the Re-Imagine and Redesign of the Malaysian Higher Education Award Committee 2017 which would be headed by Professor Datuk Dr Mohamed Amin Embi from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).
Idris also said the Ministry would table amendments to the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act 555) at the Dewan Rakyat sitting in March, which among others would ensure that the private higher education sector remained competitive.
The amendments would tighten monitoring practices, the approval procedure for applications, as well as look into the workforce aspects, he said. The event was attended by more than 3,000 people comprising students and teaching workforce, as well as his deputy Datuk Dr Mary Yap Kain Ching and Ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur. — Bernama

Juvederm Volbella® xc is FDA approved in the USA for injections to the lips and the lines around the mouth. Patient sophistication has led to requests for a gentle lip enhancement and vertical lip line correction. Volbella® is an exciting product that has effectively allowed physicians like Dr. Ferland to better address her patients evolving needs. Volbella has proven to be widely applicable to more patients than ever before because the results are soft and natural, lasting up to a year. Vycross® technology is the key to the duration of Volbella®.
COMFORT – All injections are performed by Dr. Louise Ferland, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Before arriving to the office, the home application of a prescription numbing ointment is applied by the patient one hour before arrival. XC in the name Volbella® xc refers to the manufacturer's added numbing agent 'xylocaine' (lidocaine) within the syringe which is for patient comfort. Xylocaine in the syringe and the prior skin treatment with a numbing ointment can make for a very relaxing and pleasant experience for the patient. Patients are encouraged to call for refills on their Baylor numbing ointment.
AVOID BRUISING – In order to minimize bruising Dr. Ferland recommends that for 1-2 weeks before the procedure you avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen, Aleve, vitamin E and multivitamins along with all herbs and natural supplements to reduce the chance of bruising. Dr. Ferland also employs a vein light which aids in avoiding bruising. Another technique employed by Dr. Ferland is the use of a very fine gauge cannulas with Volbella to the lips hence reducing the chance of bruising sometimes seen with sharp needles.

"Follow the Sun" is een nummer van de Australische muzikant Xavier Rudd. Het nummer verscheen op zijn album Spirit Bird uit 2012. Op 11 juni van dat jaar werd het nummer uitgebracht als de enige single van het album.

Achtergrond
"Follow the Sun" is geschreven en geproduceerd door Xavier Rudd. Het is het enige nummer van het album Spirit Bird dat in Australië is opgenomen; de opnames vonden plaats in de Studios 301 in Byron Bay. De rest van het album is in Canada opgenomen. Volgens Rudd verliep de opname "makkelijk, net zoals het nummer zelf klinkt".

"Follow the Sun" wist verrassend genoeg alleen in Nederland de hitlijsten te bereiken. Het nummer verkreeg populariteit vanwege het gebruik in een reeks reclames van Sunweb. Het bereikte plaats 23 in de Top 40, terwijl in de Single Top 100 plaats 24 werd behaald. In 2014 maakte Time Square een remix van het nummer, dat in Duitsland en Italië de hitlijsten bereikte. In Nederland kwam het niet verder dan de laatste plaats in de Single Top 100.

De videoclip van "Follow the Sun" is opgenomen op het North Stradbroke-eiland voor de kust van Brisbane. In de video zijn veel natuurbeelden te zien, afgewisseld door beelden waarin Rudd het nummer zingt terwijl hij gitaar en mondharmonica speelt. Daarnaast voeren de Yulu Burri Ba Dancers een dans uit.

Het nummer wordt elke keer gebruikt als afsluitende muziek tijdens de tv-reeks Dwars door België en Dwars door de Lage Landen van Arnout Hauben.

Well, I'm about ready to change this, it has been up for a couple of months! I figured I'd show you before it comes down.
This is my first attempt at more of a summer themed mantle. After spring I normally go back to just normal décor up here. I thought it would be fun to participate in the flamingo and pineapple craze and this is a non-committal way I can do it!
It is a good start. I'll keep my eyes open for some fun fillers and next year it will be even better. I celebrate every other season, why not do summer too?
Part of my problem/delay in posting this is every time I look at those light fixtures I get the cringes. They are not doing it for me. They ruin all of my mantle looks!!! Then I have a hard time sharing because I don't love how it looks!
I do like the black and white look for summer and may play with that a little more next year. We'll see what the trends are I guess.
Here is a closer look at each side.
The pinwheels and pineapple came from Hobby Lobby. The hello sign came from Target dollar spot. I added the chipboard 'summer' myself. I can't remember where I got the lights. I did just get them this year. Either at Marshalls or Hobby Lobby.
The flamingo and black and white photo holder came from Hobby Lobby. The lanterns came from Michaels and my cute daughter made that popcicle art!
She did such a great job right? I love it! She also did a watermelon for me. I'll show you that soon.
Sometimes I think Hobby Lobby is the greatest store ever! I got this cutest pineapple string art there this year. ADORable! You can see where I placed it in the photos above. It is a fun summer addition.
So there you have it. I did get this up before summer is completely over right? I get some credit for that!
Do you do any fun, festive décor for summer?

From cookies to nicely wrapped presents, your unique creations impress everyone."
Please can I see the pictures? I grew up with pigeons, one of the ugliest newborns on the planet!
You do strike me as a traditional type person. What traditions do you love best?


Morflex® 1129 is a specially purified form of dimethyl Isophthalate, an intermediate in the synthesis of polyesters. In order to obtain the structural strength needed in fibers and films, the polyester must be of high molecular weight and the most efficient route to these high molecular weights is through trans-esterification and copolymerization of Morflex 1129 and terephthalate ester with ethylene glycol. It is used in staple polyester and for polyester bottle resin. It works by retarding crystallization for better clarity and strength.

Creative advertising ideas are a necessity now that consumers have become more and more ad resistant. That's why content sponsorship is fast becoming the new way to advertise, especially on the Internet where ads are becoming increasingly ignored.
In fact, initiating a sponsorship marketing plan to reach your target market is one of the best internet advertising methods because it captures your audience's attention because you're not just "advertising to them." Instead, you are providing educational materials to them because you are sponsoring the source of the information. In turn, you're sparking curiosity in them to find out more about you because of your "philanthropic" attitude.
For example, when you sponsor this site, you reach a targeted audience of Baby Boomers [who particularly like to support companies who "give back"] as well as give them something that they want; i.e., information – which is the MAIN reason people come to the Internet.
Because people generally come to the Internet for information and land on a content site such as our site, your company is positioned in front of this audience in a much better way than any single ad can accomplish.
And it gives you more credibility than posting a few articles on article directories because instead of giving only a small amount of information, you're perceived as providing a wealth of information by sponsoring an entire source of content.
Statistics show that companies are choosing sponsorship marketing plans as their best advertising campaigns.
If you're looking for the latest, greatest idea in the realm of creative advertising ideas, you'll want to check out sponsoring a good source of information in your niche.

Q: Unable to create array literal in spark/pyspark I'm in trouble trying to remove rows from dataframe based on two-column list of items to filter. For example for this dataframe:
df = spark.createDataFrame([(100, 'A', 304), (200, 'B', 305), (300, 'C', 306)], ['number', 'letter', 'id'])
df.show()
+------+------+---+
|number|letter| id|
+------+------+---+
|   100|     A|304|
|   200|     B|305|
|   300|     C|306|
+------+------+---+

I can easily remove rows using isin on one column:
df.where(~col('number').isin([100, 200])).show()
+------+------+---+
|number|letter| id|
+------+------+---+
|   300|     C|306|
+------+------+---+

But when I try to remove them by two columns I get an exception:
df.where(~array('number', 'letter').isin([(100, 'A'), (200, 'B')])).show()

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.sql.functions.lit.

After some investigation I realized that root cause of the problem is creating literals from non-primitive types. I tried the following code in pyspark:
lit((100, 'A'))
lit([100, 'A'])

and the following in scala-spark:
lit((100, "A"))
lit(List(100, "A"))
lit(Seq(100, "A"))
lit(Array(100, "A"))

but with no luck... Does anyone know the way to create array literal in spark/pyspark? Or is there another method to filter dataframe by two columns?

A: First of all you probably want struct not arrays. Remember that Spark SQL doesn't support heterogeneous arrays so array(1, 'a') is casted to array<string>.
So query could look like this:
choices = [(100, 'A'), (200, 'B')]

target = [
    struct(
        lit(number).alias("number").cast("long"),
        lit(letter).alias("letter").cast("string"))
    for number, letter  in choices]

query = struct("number", "letter").isin(target)

This seems to generate valid expression:
query

Column<b'(named_struct(NamePlaceholder(), number, NamePlaceholder(), letter) IN (named_struct(col1, CAST(100 AS `number` AS BIGINT), col2, CAST(A AS `letter` AS STRING)), named_struct(col1, CAST(200 AS `number` AS BIGINT), col2, CAST(B AS `letter` AS STRING))))'>

But for some reason fails on analyzer:
df.where(~query)

AnalysisException                         Traceback (most recent call last)
...
AnalysisException: "cannot resolve '(named_struct('number', `number`, 'letter', `letter`) IN (named_struct('col1', CAST(100 AS BIGINT), 'col2', CAST('A' AS STRING)), named_struct('col1', CAST(200 AS BIGINT), 'col2', CAST('B' AS STRING))))' due to data type mismatch: Arguments must be same type;;\n'Filter NOT named_struct(number, number#0L, letter, letter#1) IN (named_struct(col1, cast(100 as bigint), col2, cast(A as string)),named_struct(col1, cast(200 as bigint), col2, cast(B as string)))\n+- LogicalRDD [number#0L, letter#1, id#2L]\n"

Strangely enough with SQL following fails as well:
df.createOrReplaceTempView("df")

spark.sql("SELECT * FROM df WHERE struct(letter, letter) IN (struct(CAST(1 AS bigint), 'a'))")

AnalysisException: "cannot resolve '(named_struct('letter', df.`letter`, 'letter', df.`letter`) IN (named_struct('col1', CAST(1 AS BIGINT), 'col2', 'a')))' due to data type mismatch: Arguments must be same type; line 1 pos 46;\n'Project [*]\n+- 'Filter named_struct(letter, letter#1, letter, letter#1) IN (named_struct(col1, cast(1 as bigint), col2, a))\n   +- SubqueryAlias df\n      +- LogicalRDD [number#0L, letter#1, id#2L]\n"

but when replaced with literals on both sides:
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM df WHERE struct(CAST(1 AS bigint), 'a') IN (struct(CAST(1 AS bigint), 'a'))")

DataFrame[number: bigint, letter: string, id: bigint]

works fine so it looks like a bug.
That being said left anti join should work just fine here:
from pyspark.sql.functions import broadcast

df.join(
    broadcast(spark.createDataFrame(choices, ("number", "letter"))),
    ["number", "letter"],
    "leftanti"
 )

+------+------+---+
|number|letter| id|
+------+------+---+
|   300|     C|306|
+------+------+---+

A: To create an array literal in spark you need to create an array from a series of columns, where a column is created from the lit function:
scala> array(lit(100), lit("A"))
res1: org.apache.spark.sql.Column = array(100, A)

Implemented the ability to add an ICD-10 code to an encounter without previously adding it to a SmartSheet. This can be found on the Diagnoses tab of an Encounter and is called ICD-10 Search.
Implemented the ability to set all insurance companies as either ICD-9 or ICD-10. For an explanation of this tool, click here: http://wiki.traknetsolutions.com/wiki:changing-icd-settings.
Implemented a change to the Invoice tab of an encounter that will now display your diagnoses codes on the bottom of the screen following these conditions: If you are on the Charges view of the invoice, the History will be displayed. If you are on the Charges (Edit Mode) view of the invoice, the Diagnoses will be displayed. If you are on the Payments view of the invoice, any unapplied payments from that patient will be displayed. These are the defaults but can be manually changed to any option as needed.
Resolved an issue where ICD-10 codes would not display when using the copy visit function.
Resolved an issue wherein ICD-10 codes would not display on treatment codes in an invoice, regardless of setting.
Resolved an issue wherein printed invoices would display only ICD-10 codes if they were present. This will now match the setting on the encounter.
Resolved an issue wherein the «ActiveProblems» and «VisitProblems» links were not displaying ICD-10 codes.
Resolved an issue wherein HCPCS codes would not print onto a printed UB04 claim.
Resolved an issue wherein prior authorization numbers would be removed from an invoice if the encounter was opened and saved several times.
Resolved an issue wherein some users were unable to display their Clinical Quality Measures report.
Resolved an issue wherein diagnoses codes could not be removed from encounters.
Resolved an issue wherein ICD-10 codes that were paired to an ICD-9 code which was already on the encounter could not be inserted.
Resolved an issue wherein the invoice of an encounter would not print if adjustments were posted to it.
Resolved an issue wherein patient eligibility would sometimes return a truncation error.
Resolved an issue wherein adding an ICD-10 code to a SmartSheet without pairing an ICD-9 code to it was creating a blank diagnoses.
Resolved an issue wherein diagnoses with an apostrophe in the name (e.g. Raynaud's Disease) could not be added to a SmartSheet.
Resolved an issue wherein selecting a line item on an insurance payment would cause the screen to jump.
Resolved an issue wherein the Tab Blanks feature was not moving the screen down as it moved through the note.

Resolved an issue wherein sorting an appointment list by time did not properly sort.


Many people marvel if enterprise ethics is just a buzzword that has been tossed around currently, because of a few of the aggressive tactics we've seen them as we enter the twenty first century.
