← DO DOGS ACTUALLY LIKE BISCUIT DOG FOOD?
Dogs are adorable, but puppies sit differently on that table. Their miniature size gives them a different dose of cute. It's like they are inevitably laced with adorableness and possess certain abilities to lift bad moods by just being seen. You can say this is their super power, because boy can they wield it. Now, you've got to admit there are a lot of dog breeds, hundreds of them to be precise, making the quest to find the cutest ones much harder. It takes a lot of 'aww-ing' on our part but we've got it on lock. We're presenting to you the top 10 choices of dog breeds that have the cutest and most adorable puppies ever.
If you think they are cute when they are mature, you should see them in their puppy size. This breed makes really adorable puppies with sunken eyes and fur as white as snow. Their soft barks will just melt your heart and freeze your brain.
What's better than looking at an actual sunset? Looking at one which barks, rolls over and loves cuddling. Yep, the golden retriever puppy is that miniature sized sunset you want in your home. They are beautiful, sweet, homely and very easy to train. They even grow up with these qualities intact. Just look at that face.
This breed itself is the very definition of cute. The beautiful black eyes, the curly hair and the perfect miniature size are all found in this very breed. Their look is unique and it seems like they have mastered the art of sad eyes. No one can resist this puppy, no one has the heart to. They're just too cute.
This breed has fleece as white as snow and is too adorable for words. As newborns they are very small and fragile that you may want to bend the knee and pledge your life to it. And as they get older they become great companions and are mostly owned by the elderly.
It's only natural for this breed to be on this list because they are originally cute, but you should see them as puppies, now that's a level of cute we didn't know existed.
This dog breed is synonymous with its miniature size. They don't advance much in size like other dogs and can even fit into a bowl/teacup. As puppies they are so cute it should be illegal.
There's a certain vulnerability that the English bulldog puppy possesses. It is just flat out cute.
This breed is undeniably cute. They have really huge ears which gives them just a little fraction of their cuteness.
With their short legs they trot around in the most adorable and funny way. They are really sweet dog breeds too.
We definitely saved the best for last with this breed. Their black and white spots contributes to their beauty and uniqueness, and as puppies they are a bundle of cuteness.
There you have it, the 10 dog breeds with the cutest puppies, we hope you made it to the end without tears.

Q: How to prevent Tabular format when writing a parquet file into CSV file using pandas.DataFrame? I read a parquet file that is the output of spark mllib using pyarrow.parquet. The output is consists of some rows and each row has two pairs: a word and a vector(each line is a word2vec pair). like the following:

 word1 "[-0.10812066  0.04352815 0.00529436 -0.0492562 -0.0974493533  0.275364409  -0.06501597  -0.3123745185 0.28186324 -0.05055101 0.06338456   -0.0842542  -0.10491376 -0.09692618 0.02451115  0.10766134]"
 word2 "[-0.10812066  0.04352815 0.1875908 -0.0492562 ...
 ...

when I used DataFrame to write the results in a csv file, I got this:

 word1 "[-0.10812066  0.04352815 0.00529436 -0.0492562
    -0.0974493533  0.275364409  -0.06501597  -0.3123745185
    0.28186324 -0.05055101 0.06338456   -0.0842542
    -0.10491376 -0.09692618 0.02451115  0.10766134]"
 word2 "[-0.10812066  0.04352815 0.1875908 -0.0492562 ...
 ...

as you can see, each vector at the special position is separated into some lines.
How can I get csv output as something I read from parquet file?
my source code is here:
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow.parquet as pq

data = pq.read_pandas('C://Users//...//p.parquet', columns=['word', 'vector']).to_pandas()

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

pd.DataFrame.to_csv(df, 'C://Users/...//p.csv', sep=" ", encoding='utf-8', columns=['word', 'vector'], index=False, header=False)

The DataFrame size is: 47524 and DataFrame shape is: (23762, 2)

A: After a lot of searches, I didn't find a direct solution for my problem. but I solved my problem using lists in python.
data = pq.read_pandas('C://...//p.parquet', columns['word','vector']).to_pandas()
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

vector = df['vector'].tolist()
word = df['word'].tolist()

k = [[]]
for i in range(0, word.__len__()):
    l = []
    l.append(word[i])
    l.extend(vector[i])
    k.append(l)

with open('C://...//f.csv', "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    writer = csv.writer(f)
    for row in k:
        writer.writerow(row)

so, the output was shown in the same shape as expected.

I'm so happy to blog this wedding, you'll love it, I'm sure of it.
Ben and Amy decided to hold their wedding at Hurst House in Laugharne, just outside Camarthen.
It was probably one of the last warm days of the year, and in beautiful surroundings, that tends to be the cherry on top.
I hadn't had a chance to do an engagement shoot with Ben and Amy. Their day would be the first time I'd of met Ben, I knew what he looked like, Amy had sent me a letter bearing a personalised stamp with their insanely good looking faces on with my own little invite inside.
I won't show the stamp, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see their faces a little later on, instead here is living proof that someone (Ben & Amy) think that I'm an "extraordiniare"...of sorts.
Ok, less bragging, more blogging.
So, as usual, I was a little nervous covering this wedding, I had heard that Ben had previously had a bad experience of wedding photographers, so it was up to me to give us photographers a good name again.
In my little mind, I had imagined this tyrannical figure of a man who would smash my camera to the floor each time I breathed the same air as him. Terrified, I was.
If you're a regular reader of this blog, I think that by now you would of guessed that going by the usual calibre of my grooms on here, I couldn't have been more incorrect.
Ben was a true gentleman. You could say that he was a perfect match for Amy.
Let me show you some pictures from the day and hopefully you'll get sucked into the day just as easily as I did.
Hi Joe, You've captured the atmosphere so well I can smell the polished wood and smoking candles. Wished you had done our photos!!
I love the depth of field on your detail shots. This is a great set of images. It looks like such a fun wedding, and you captured it beautifully!
Wonderful job Joseph. These are all really good - I really like that ring shot.
These are great - that ring shot is killer!
Beautiful wedding! I love her wedding dress. Awesome detail shots too, looks like a really beautiful venue.
LOVE that emotional hug toward the top. These are fabulous!!
great job! Those reception photos are rad, so full of life!
You captured some really tender and subtle moments...excellent work!!
Love how your photos all tell a story. Really nicely captured, with a few quirky moments too.
What a stunning wedding. You definitely did it justice, Joseph.
Correct! She made that amazing cake too!
Beautiful work as always. You make it feel like we were all guests at their wedding.
Beautiful series of wedding photographs again Joseph! I especially love the portrait of Amy, it's incredible.
Love this - wonderful emotive images, a beautiful bride and my favourite would have to be the little boy with his bunny. The cello / bass is gorgeous too.
I have to say, one wedding photographer to another that I absolutely adore every wedding that you post. You have a special talent sir. Wishing you a hugely successful 2011.
This is simply exceptional work Joseph. 2011 is set to be an amazing year for you.
There's something that I can't quite put my finger on, but something about these photos makes it so magical, even for a complete stranger. The mood, the joy, the excitement, the love ... it flows from these photos.
I really do like how you present the photos.
What a perfect day it was and you've captured it all incredibly. Seems like you were everywhere at once yet you were totally unobtrusive. Absolutely amazing photos! Captured the day beautifully. Think they're the best wedding shots i've ever seen(even allowing for the obvious advantage you had of having Amy & Ben in leading roles). Great work!
Wow! So many amazing shots. Beautiful!
Incredible, your photos, the location, the people, simply incredible!
Wow, really beautiful and sweetly captured! I love all the details you have captured that involve people - I feel like I am there enjoying the laid back feel with them.


For a sweet twist on tradition, look no further. Soft Inna Chiffon is expertly draped to create a stunning crisscross bodice with a sweetheart neckline. Subtle pleating at the waist gives its long, flowing skirt a modern feel. This style is perfect for the girl who wants an effortlessly elegant look.

Marcus Nilson, född 1 mars 1978 i Bålsta, är en svensk professionell ishockeyspelare som för närvarande har ett 2-årskontrakt med HV71. Hans moderklubb är Bålsta HC. Hans bror Patrik Nilson är även han ishockeyspelare.

Karriär
Nilson började sin elitkarriär i Djurgårdens IF Hockey där han även spelat som junior. Inför säsongen 1998–99 flyttade han till USA och gjorde sin NHL-debut i Florida Panthers. Totalt spelade han 17 NHL-matcher under sina två första säsonger i ligan. Mesta tiden spelade han dock för olika farmarlag i AHL.

Säsongen 2000–01 etablerade sig Nilson i NHL med en produktion på drygt 30 poäng per säsong. Efter ytterligare två säsonger i Florida Panthers ingick han i slutet på säsongen 2003–04 i ett byte mellan Florida Panthers och Calgary Flames. Florida fick ett andrarundsval i NHL-draften och Calgary fick Marcus Nilson. I slutspelet samma säsong gick Calgary till Stanley Cup-final. Nilson hade en viktig roll i lagets defensiva kedja och fick beröm för sitt uppoffrande spel. Laget förlorade dock den jämna finalserien mot Tampa Bay Lightning.

Säsongen 2004–05 var det lockout i NHL och ligan ställdes in. Nilson åkte tillbaka till Europa för att spela i Djurgårdens IF. På 48 matcher gjorde Nilson 39 poäng (17 mål, 22 assist). Djurgården nådde semifinal i slutspelet.

Därpå följande säsong var Nilson tillbaka i Calgary Flames i NHL men fick med tiden allt mindre speltid - tills han 2008 valde att flytta till KHL och spela för Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Inför hösten 2009 skrev Nilson på ett ettårskontrakt med Djurgården där han under säsongen kom att vinna klubbens interna poängliga med totalt 51 poäng (24 mål, 27 assist) och dessutom förde klubben till SM-final.

10 september 2010 blev det officiellt att Nilson spelar med New Jersey Devils på ett så kallat try-out-kontrakt för att försöka ta en ordinarie plats i truppen vilket han misslyckades med och han skrev istället ett 4-årskontrakt med Djurgårdens IF.

Efter att Djurgårdens IF åkt ur Elitserien säsongen 2011–12 hade Djurgården inte råd att ha kvar Nilson för den tidigare lönen. Förhandlingar gjordes men båda parter kunde inte enas om en slutgiltig siffra. Därför följde Nilson inte med laget ner till HockeyAllsvenskan utan gick istället till HV71 där han skrev på för två säsonger.

12 januari 2015 återvände Marcus Nilson något oväntat till Djurgården efter att ha fått begränsat med speltid i HV71.

Och han kom tillbaka till Bålsta HC och nu är han tränare för Bålstas team 07 lag den 23 augusti 2016.

Research Stories
On the frontlines of discovering a new drug or treatment protocol in the fight against cancer are Saskatchewan Cancer Agency researchers.
They are at the forefront of the work being done to better understand cancer. They are driving innovation and discoveries that will make a difference for patients not just in Saskatchewan but potentially around the world.
Improving Hematology Oncology – Dr. Bosch
The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency is very proud to have a Saskatchewan born physician as part of their Hematology team. Dr. Mark Bosch grew up in rural Saskatchewan and attended the University of Saskatchewan. His training consisted of both the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon and the Regina General Hospital.
"Google Maps" for the Cancer Cell – Dr. Vizeacoumar
The Vizeacoumar lab aims to build the "Google Map" of the cancer cells. The cells that make up the human body are just like those new places one might visit while on that global adventure. Imagine taking a major road trip without Google Maps.
What Turns a Gene On – Dr. Bonham
Dr. Bonham has always been interested in how genes are turned on and turned off, and how this process is deregulated in cancer. When he arrived in Saskatoon to begin work at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency's Research Unit he had just completed the cloning and characterization of the human SRC gene and was interested in how this important cancer gene appeared to be over-expressed in certain cancers.
Perking up the Body's Immune System to Help Fight off Cancer – Dr. Xiang
Dr. Xiang's lab is participating in two cancer research projects, both focused on perking up the body's immune system to help fight off cancer. "It's an exciting story. Our technique is unique.

Person of interest Russia Profile
Urbanites and existential angst: the not quite figurative world of painter Sanya Kantarovsky
Images: Sanya Kantarovsky
Surreal, strongly coloured, and imaginatively titled, the figurative paintings of Russian-born, New York-based artist Sanya Kantarovsky appear as visual translations of the common urbanites depicted in Nikolai Gogol's short stories.
Born in Moscow in 1982, Kantarovsky moved to the US as a child together with his family. His love for art began early. "No one in my family remembers me not drawing and painting," he told The Calvert Journal. After graduating the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and receiving his MFA at the University of California, his career took off in 2010, with his debut at the Marc Foxx gallery in Los Angeles.
Drawing on surrealism and post-impressionism, as well as a wide range of influences including children's cartoons, folk illustrations, and the Soviet satire magazine Krokodil, Kantarovsky depicts difficult power dynamics between lovers, noblemen and servants, or mothers and their clinging children. Elsewhere, he is drawn to angsty depictions of white collar workers. "I am drawn to simultaneity as a value," the artist explains. "That can manifest in a variety of ways, but the cognitive dissonance involved in negotiating simultaneous truths is something I find productive and worthwhile. Perhaps the main simultaneity — the inherent truth in lived experience — is that of cruelty and love, violence and beauty."
Status Anxiety, 2015, by Sanya Kantarovsky
Untitled, 2011, by Sanya Kantarovsky
Despite being figurative, Kantarovsky's paintings are not portraits. Rather, he draws "types" of people. "There's not enough there to consider them characters — they're bystanders, once-overs," he says in his monograph, No Joke. It's perhaps this quality that brings Kantarovsky's work close to illustration, one of his early passions. Ultimately, the artist argues that he's less interested in developing a new language in art, but instead, is invested in the continuity within painting as a practice and dialogue.
Kantarovsky's latest projects, titled Two Suns, after a poem by Marina Tsvetaeva ("Two suns are cooling down … the one that burns the hottest is the first to die"), presented at the Second Garage Triennial of Contemporary Russian Art in Moscow earlier this year, leaves his emblematic strong colours behind in a bid to reflect on his grandmother's 10,000 black and white photographs, which he inherited when she died a year ago. "It was a very moving process," the artist says. As his grandmother usually only printed one or two photographs per roll of film, Kantarovksy has been revisiting old recollections. "All these memories that were only attached to one photo, were now animated by a string of photographs," he says.
In the future, he would like to create a bigger curatorial project with the photographs. His grandmother was a very sociable Moscow-based teacher, to whom the artist was very close. In his mind, the photos represent an "amazing portrait of the Soviet Union, from the perspective of a citizen." One particular theme running through the pictures is that of friendship. "My impression of Russia is that because of how harsh and volatile the environment has been, friendships take on a different dimension, they have so much more gravity and importance than acquaintances in a place like New York," he says. "They become more like family, a refuge, and people to count on."

Despite migrating to the US at the age of 10, Kantarovsky still remains well connected to these roots. When he and his partner named their own four-year-old daughter, Vera, he was drawing on several influences. Partly, he says he likes the meaning of the word — belief. But partly it was inspired by his groundbreaking 2014 show at KIM art centre in RIGA with fellow artist Ella Kruglyanskaya, titled Little Vera. Although the name of the show was a reference to a transgressive glasnost blockbuster, the exhibition celebrated 125 years from the birth of the Soviet socialist realist sculptor, Vera Mukhina, the female artist behind The Worker and Kolhoz Woman in central Moscow. Although Kantarovsky declares himself more of a fan of Soviet artist Alexander Deineka, rather than Mukhina herself, Kantarovsky is interested in the ethos of some of the ambitious socialist realist works. "[It's] to feel like you're part of something larger, allegories of a collective body, which is very different from the ideology behind abstract expressionism which was a sort of avatar for American individualism."
The works Kantarovsky made for the show, like most of his paintings, carried his ironic signature style. One Soviet poster-like painting depicting tower blocks and a geometric lamp with a heap of sheets of paper included the Russian address, "Comrade architects, in your hands is the magical Aladdin lamp!" So much for grand ideals. In Kantarovsky's paintings, everyone is put in their place.

Let's get that glow! A little bit of highlighter would never hurt anyone. Today more about the Morphe highlighter.
Just a little bit of highlighter on your cheekbones and you are ready to attack the day. Yes, girls get it!
Personally I am a huge fan of a good highlighter, not for every day use, but when I go out on date night or for some drinks with the girls I do like to pay a little bit extra attention on my make-up. I have to admit that back in the days I always had a full face of make-up on, included bronzer, highlighter and some blush.
These days I am more relaxed with my makeup, using just a little bit of concealer and bronzer around my eyes and I do feel I am ready to leave the house. Oh, and mascara. Otherwise I do look like a twelve years old and that is not really the look I'm after.
Today a review about the highlighter form the brand Morphe, I didn't write a makeup review for ages, so here we go!
This Morphe highlighter in the colour spark, which is a glimmering golden pink colour, with a creamy formula.
The size of this highlighter is the travel size which is 3gram and the price is just 7pound, the size is ideal for in your makeup bag, as it is super small and easy to take with you.
lovely 'settled' and classy look.
I personally like to use highlighter high on my cheekbones and around my eyebrow, just by the browbone. To complete this article, I did get my camera out and actually made some selfies for you guys, I have to admit that I didn't take selfies with my camera for ages and actually felt a little bit awkward, but here we go.
MORPHE HIGH IMPACT MINI HIGHLIGHTER – SPARK.
Really tried my best to get that side profile highligther picture for you.
Did you already try products out from Morphe? If so, which one did you try?

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH, (born 5 February 1985), commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo became the most expensive footballer in history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth £80 million (€93.9 million/$131.6 million). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is paid €12 million per year, makes him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world, and his buyout clause is valued at €1 billion as per his contract.
Real Madrid's pre-season began with a 4–1 victory over MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy, with goals from Callejón, Joselu, Ronaldo, and Benzema. Four days later Ronaldo scored a second half hat-trick in a 3–0 win against Guadalajara. Ronaldo's preseason performance was highly praised as world media kept hailing Ronaldo's extreme competitiveness and motivation, even during friendly matches. On 17 August 2011, Ronaldo scored his 100th goal with Real Madrid with a first-half equaliser against Barcelona in the second leg of the 2011 Spanish Supercup in the Camp Nou. On 27 August 2011, he opened the 2011–12 La Liga season with a hat-trick in a 6–0 win at Real Zaragoza.
In the first weeks of September, Ronaldo's physical performance was subject to scrutiny by world media, after Castrol released a television film named Ronaldo: Tested to the Limit where he was put to test in several fields, including mental and physical. Conclusions from the movie and doctors in the weeks following claimed that Ronaldo was one of the best athletes in the world, excelling in football and outstanding in almost every other category.[citation needed] Several sources[weasel words] drew comparisons between him and other top athletes, including sprinter Usain Bolt. On 24 September, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick (including two penalties) in Real Madrid's 6–2 win over Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu. This was his ninth La Liga hat-trick and tenth hat-trick for Real Madrid.
On 27 September, Ronaldo scored Real's opening goal in a 3–0 victory over Ajax at the Santiago Bernabéu in the UEFA Champions League. On 22 October, after not scoring in his previous three games, Ronaldo scored his tenth La Liga hat-trick and eleventh in total for Real Madrid in a match away to Málaga, which Real Madrid won 4–0. His twelfth Real Madrid hat-trick followed on 6 November, in a 7–1 victory over Osasuna that ensured Madrid stayed top of the table heading into the international break. On 19 November 2011, Ronaldo scored Real's second goal in a 2–3 defeat of Valencia. On 26 November 2011, Ronaldo scored two penalties in a 4–1 defeat of Atlético Madrid in the El Derbi madrileño. On 3 December 2011, Ronaldo scored Madrid's second goal in a 0–3 defeat of Sporting de Gijón in La Liga. He was one of the three finalists for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or. On 13 December 2011, Ronaldo scored the second goal against SD Ponferradina in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Round 4, the match ended in a 0–2 win. On 17 December 2011, Ronaldo scored his twelfth La Liga hat-trick and thirteenth overall in a 6–2 win away to Sevilla.
Ronaldo was third in the 2010–11 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award, behind Lionel Messi and Xavi, and second in the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or, behind Lionel Messi and ahead of Xavi. In Real Madrid's next game in La Liga at home to Granada Ronaldo scored the fifth goal in a 5–1 win. He was notably criticised in the public media[who?] for not celebrating the goal. On 22 January 2012, Ronaldo scored two penalties in a 4–1 win over Athletic Bilbao, and on 28 January scored Real Madrid's second and winning goal in a 3–1 win against Zaragoza. Ronaldo also scored two goals against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Quarter-finals, which Real lost 4–3 on aggregrate. On 12 February 2012, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, his thirteenth in La Liga and fourteenth for Real Madrid, in a 4–2 home win over Levante. This win stretched Real Madrid's lead over second-placed Barcelona to 10 points.
On 24 March 2012, Ronaldo reached more than 100 goals in La Liga in just three season at Real Madrid when he scored the first of his two goals in the match against Real Sociedad, the second quickest La Liga player to reach that milestone in the league after Isidro Lángara, reaching the milestone in 92 matches and breaking the previous club record held by Puskás. As of 24 March 2012, Ronaldo had averaged 1.01 goals per game in La Liga.
On 11 April, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in a 1–4 win, as well as assisting the last goal. His hat-trick, one goal from a free kick, one from 30 yards on the left wing and one penalty, gave him 40 league goals in the season, making him the only player in La Liga history, or in any other major European league, to score 40 goals in two seasons, even doing so in consecutive seasons. Ronaldo officially broke his previous record of 40 goals in a La Liga season on 14 April, scoring in a 3–1 win against Sporting Gijón.
On 13 May 2012, the last matchday, Ronaldo scored against Mallorca which made him the first player ever to score against every team in a single season in La Liga.[10] He finished the season with a total of 46 league goals and 60 goals in every competition, breaking the Real Madrid record he had set the previous season. In May, Ronaldo claimed that he believed that he had played better than Lionel Messi this season, and on 13 June, he won the Trofeo Alfredo Di Stefano as the best La Liga player of the season.

Name : 22 DI MARIA
Ángel Fabián di María Hernández (born 14 February 1988) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays as a winger for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and the Argentine national team. He is nicknamed El Angelito, Di Magia, El Flaco, El Pibito and Fideo, Spanish for noodle.
During the start of the 2011–2012 season, di María endured a tough series of matches as he struggled to adapt to the pace of the league following the summer break. As a result, di María's early performance for the season were mixed with moments of genuinely good play interspersed with moments of sheer madness by the Argentine. This point was well illustrated during Real Madrid's 1–0 defeat to Levante, a match which saw a clearly out of sorts di María commit a horror foul on Levante's Juanfran during the match. Di María caused the two teams to clash and an on-field incident ensued. After this, however, di María's performances improved, including opening up a significant gap at the top of the assists table. From October 2011, di María was being picked by José Mourinho ahead of Kaká and Mesut Özil, a sign of his improving form.
On 27 November 2011, di María played 60 minutes in a league game against city rivals Atlético Madrid, in which he scored a goal for Real Madrid. José Mourinho's team won the game 4–1. On 3 December 2011, Di Maria scored Real's first goal from a sharp angle in a 0–3 defeat of Sporting de Gijón in the La Liga.
Name : 10 OZIL
Mesut Özil (German pronunciation: [ˈmeːzut ˈøːzil], Turkish pronunciation: [me̞ˈsut ˈø̞zil]) (born 15 October 1988) is a German footballer who plays for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and the Germany national football team. Özil has been a youth national team member since 2006, and a member of the German national team since 2009. He gained international attention during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and was nominated for the Golden Ball Award, which is awarded to the tournament's best player. Following his breakout performance at the World Cup, he was transferred from Werder Bremen to Real Madrid in August 2010.
Özil is acclaimed for his finesse and improvisation as an attacking midfielder. His style and knack for providing assists for his team-mates has been compared to that of Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane. In 2011, he ranked first in assists in major European and domestic competitions with 25. In 2012, he ranked first in assists in La Liga with 17. He was also one of the top assist providers in the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012 with 3 in both.
Özil began wearing the number 10 shirt for Real Madrid in 2011–12, signalling manager José Mourinho's intent to use the German international as his main playmaker. On 14 August 2011, Özil scored his first goal against Barcelona in El Clásico in the first leg of the 2011 Supercopa de España. On 17 August 2011, Özil was sent off in the last minute of the second leg of the 2011 Supercopa after an altercation with Barça forward David Villa. Özil expressed his desire to end his football days at the club in an interview with German magazine kicker, saying, "I'd like to end my career at Real Madrid. I know it will be difficult because I have many more years ahead of me and many younger and good players will also be out there, but I want to be part of that future. I know what I'm capable of and I'm convinced I'll stay at Real Madrid many years."
Özil was on the short-list of 2011-12 year's FIFA Ballon d'Or award.
He finished atop the La Liga assists chart,with 17 assists. On 2 May 2012, he helped Real Madrid to clinch its 32nd La Liga title as he assisted Real Madrid's first goal and scored the second goal against Bilbao, which Real Madrid later won by 3–0. Eleven days later, Özil scored two goals in the final game of the regular season against RCD Mallorca, once again consolidating his excellent performance with the club. The win made Real the first club in the Spanish top flight to ever reach 100 points in a season. His fine form with Real Madrid and German national team saw him earn nomination for UEFA Best Player in Europe Award, in which he finished 10th, being youngest in Top 10.

On 27 September 2011, Kaká experienced one of his best matches as a Real Madrid player during a 3–0 victory over Ajax in the Champions League, as he scored one goal, provided one assist and participated in one of the best team build-ups of the matchday: a counterattacking move involving Özil, Ronaldo and Benzema. He was later chosen the best player of the Champions League Matchday.

Meet Lupita Nyongo'o, Kenya's shining actress
8th August 2017 charlesmulungiComment(1)
KAMPALA, UGANDA – Actress Lupita Nyong'o star has continued to shine ever since the movie "12 Years A Slave" in which she portrays slave girl Patsey made it to the silver screen across the globe.
In her exploding career Lupita has managed to bag numerous awards including Screen Actors Guild and Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
She was nominated for the Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Award for Best and stands a chance to win an Oscar.
Who is Lupita
Lupita is a Kenyan talented actress who was born in Mexico City in 1983 while his father was a lecturer of political science in in the North American city.
She is daughter of Dorothy and Peter Anyang' Nyong'o the current Senator representing Kisumu County and also Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in Kenya.
She's from a family that has produced some of Africa respected personalities like her cousin, Isis Nyong'o, who was named one of Africa's most powerful women by Forbes magazine in 2012.
Lupita at the tender age of 16, her parents who had moved back to Nairobi, sent her to Mexico to learn Spanish from where she joined a US University.
She has worked on the production crew of many films, including Fernando Meirelles's "The Constant Gardener", with Ralph Fiennes, and Mira Nair's "The Namesake".
She starred in the 2008 short film East River, directed by Marc Grey. She returned to Kenya in 2008 and starred in the Kenyan television series "Shuga".
In 2009, she wrote, directed, and produced the documentary "In My Genes", about the treatment of Kenya's albino population, which played at several film festivals. She later joined Yale School of Drama where she appeared in many stage productions.
She was cast in 12 Years a Slave immediately after her graduation from Yale in 2012 and the movie was released in 2013 to great critical acclaim.
12 Years a Slave is a 2013 American-British epic historical drama film about slavery. In a preview, the Guardian's, Paul MacInnes describes the slavery drama as "a brutal, excoriating and vital companion"
In the movie, British director Steve McQueen lines up Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyongo'o in a star-studded cast.
Based on a first-hand account, Ejiofor plays Solomon Northup, a freed black man living in Saratoga Springs, near New York City.
When his wife takes a trip out of town, however, Northup is tempted into earning extra money by performing for a travelling circus.
He heads to Washington with new companions only to be drugged, kidnapped and bound in chains just a stone's throw from the Capitol building. The brutal life in slavery and the fight for freedom ensues.

Paper Plethora
Blond Melanesians
Kenny EE, Timpson NJ, Sikora M, et al. (2012). Melanesian blond hair is caused by an amino acid change in TYRP1. Science. Epub: doi 10.1126/science.1217849.
A team led by researchers at Stanford University reports that an amino acid change results in blond hair in Solomon Islanders. Natural blond hair is typically found in Europe and Oceania and, in this study, the team identifies an arginine-to-cysteine change at a highly conserved residue in TYRP1 as a major determinant of the trait in people from the Solomon Islands. The mutation has a 26 percent frequency within the population, the researchers write, adding that "this missense mutation is predicted to affect catalytic activity of TYRP1 and causes blond hair through a recessive mode of inheritance."
Many Tumor Types
Curtis C, Shah SP, Chin SF, et al. (2012). The genomic and transcriptomic architecture of 2,000 breast tumors reveals novel subgroups. Nature. Epub: doi 10.1038/nature10983.
In this study, the University of Cambridge's Christina Curtis et al. analyze the genomes and transcriptomes of 2,000 breast tumors and describe a method for molecular stratification of the disease. The researchers say that inherited variants and acquired somatic copy number aberrations are associated with expression in about 40 percent of genes in the tumors they studied, "with the landscape dominated by cis- and trans-acting [copy-number alterations]." The researchers say that their analysis also revealed novel distinct subgroups of breast cancer, adding that the condition can be broken down into 10 distinct diseases.
Height SNPs
Jarvis JP, Scheinfeldt LB, Soi S, et al. (2012). Patterns of ancestry, signatures of natural selection, and genetic association with stature in Western African Pygmies. PLoS Genetics. 8(4): e1002641.
In search of genetic factors influencing human height, a team led by the University of Pennsylvania's Sarah Tishkoff scanned the genomes of people from Western African Pygmy groups in Cameroon and from taller, Bantu-speaking people in neighboring areas, with whom the Pygmies have admixed. The researchers identified multiple genomic regions that may contain SNPs related to height in those populations. "The most striking results are found on chromosome 3," the team writes. "This region also includes the positional candidate genes DOCK3, which is known to be associated with height variation in Europeans, and CISH, a negative regulator of cytokine signaling known to inhibit growth hormone-stimulated STAT5 signaling."
LncRNA Stability
Clark MB, Johnston RL, Inostroza-Ponta M, et al. (2012). Genome-wide analysis of long noncoding RNA stability. Genome Research. 22: 885-898.
The University of Queensland's Michael Clark and his colleagues report on their genome-wide analysis of the stability of long non-coding RNAs. They used a custom non-coding RNA array to determine the half-lives of around 800 lncRNAs and approximately 12,000 mRNAs in the mouse Neuro-2a cell line. From this, the researchers found that only a small number of lncRNAs are unstable. They also report that "lncRNA half-lives vary over a wide range, comparable to, although on average less than, that of mRNAs, suggestive of complex metabolism and widespread functionality." The team also developed an online inter-active resource that allows users to navigate lncRNA and mRNA stability profiles, which is now available at http://stability.matticklab.com.

Terror Trail Continues — Mindless killing and loss of lives
by C K Subramaniam
in Diary, Opinion
Extremely sad to hear the news! New Zealand is such a peaceful place. Also, appreciate the Australian and NZ PMs' statements. I am pretty confident that they will be able to bring the perpetrators to justice, as per their law. They also have the guts to call it a terrorist attack, though Muslims were at the receiving end of it and the inhumane act was committed by 'Right Wing' extremists. Terrorism definitely has no religion, at all.
It appears to be impossible to put an end to the menace of terrorism unless Nations come together and unitedly fight against it. The UN also should designate not only individuals but also countries openly harbouring terrorist activities as terrorist nations and should impose severe sanctions crippling them completely while putting an embargo on the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The veto power in UNSC also should be reviewed and go by the majority of member countries. This is possible if China and America come to an understanding of these issues. Perhaps, Pakistan must be the only country which shamelessly covers up the terrorists and extremists despite their history of killing people. No other country spares in-country terrorists.
The fact is that we are among those who are facing Pakistan sponsored terrorism. In my view, there are many countries who are playing with the fire which includes Gulf countries, the U.S.A., Israel, China, and many more. It is seen that whenever and wherever any interest of conflict takes place, one of the parties starts fuelling terrorism which is a dangerous composition. Nowadays, the peacemaking leaders are more relevant while the fact is that nobody follows them when it comes to "walk the talk." Peace can only be achieved through the path of peaceful co-existence and there is no other way for the survival of the human race on this planet.
The modern-day governments are facing both internal and external security concerns. New Zealand is a small country with a lesser population, where all Nationals live and live for their earning. They live for generations either doing their family business or works for Government or Companies there. At the same time, they are allowed to follow their own custom and methods of worship. They build their temples and Mosques and also follow their religious duties. Not very often we hear gunshots fired at common places that too in a Mosque. All the Countries keeping aside their religious following must devise means to remove gunshot killings. Gun culture should stop for the future of human existence.
Terrorism has global implications, the global community has to be vigilant against it. The United Nations is requested to change its imbecile attitude, take urgent measures to ban veto power of five countries in the wake of stumbling blocks put on the path of peace initiative by the Security Council. Ban all terror modules, those who veto peace resolutions should be stripped of veto power.
While it is heartening to see that a wide swath of the international community is unequivocally condemning the attack, such statements of solidarity must be backed up by actions which help bring to an end the ability of such terrorist groups to kill with impunity and destabilize the region. There lies the real success.

Deborah Johnson Art: Tapestries, embroidery, felt, and many other textile techniques, along with fused glass.
My work is an interplay between and across different artistic disciplines. The operative word is play … to explore to celebrate, to take years to master the skill to make an object with my hands that expresses my ideas and emotions. My work is a meditation on the beauty and fragility of our world. My work is also a celebration of the gifts we each hold. Techniques and processes which take years to master honor something about what it means to be human and are as integral to my work as the content.
I work in a very process oriented way. For me, the process of making the art is bound up with the meaning of the art in inexplicable ways… to take a day to weave a leaf is in itself a statement about leaves.
Many of the techniques I use are part of the soul of the culture where they originated. I am honored and privileged to be able to engage them in my art making. For me, the art of making objects is about more than concept and imagery. Techniques and processes which take years to master honor something about what it means to be human, and are as integral to my work as the content.
Deborah weaves tapestries and constructs dimensional art cloth with felted, embroidered surfaces and mixed media.
The American Tapestry Alliance selected one of Deborah's small tapestries for their exhibit postcard for the William and Joseph Gallery in Santa Fe 2010. Deborah joined the Textile Study Group of New York (TSGNY) in 2011.
Fiber Forum, the juried group of The Embroiderers Guild of America (EGA) invited Deborah to join them. A discussion of the selection process and artists work can be found in the August Issue of EGA's Needle Arts. Deborah's new work explores vessel forms in Japanese twill weave with felted and woven surfaces. Delaware Division of the Arts recently awarded her embroidered vessel work an Opportunity Grant. The San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles selected several pieces from that series for a group exhibition in October 2012.
Deborah feels that each way of creating art has a unique voice that can inform and inspire the growth of new work.

Countries like Singapore are turning to "vaccinated travel lanes" to restore international air travel. (PHOTO: Matt Driskill)
IATA warns aviation situation dire in Europe, Africa and Middle East: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has issued more warnings over the aviation industry situation in the Middle East, Europe and Africa due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown in international flights. On Europe, IATA said flights are still more than 50 percent below the same period in 2019. Passenger numbers are currently forecast to fall by around 60 percent in 2020, which represents about 705 million passenger journeys. The near-term outlook for recovery in Europe remains highly uncertain with respect to the second wave of the pandemic and the broader global economic impact it could have. Passenger demand in Europe is expected to recover gradually and will not reach 2019 levels until 2024. IATA said more than 7 million jobs supported by aviation (including tourism) in Europe are now at risk (up from around 6 million estimated in June). In the Middle East, job losses in aviation and related industries could grow to 1.5 million. That is more than half of the region's 2.4 million aviation-related employment and 300,000 more than the previous estimate. Full-year 2020 traffic is expected to plummet by 56 percent compared to 2019. Previous estimate was a fall of 51 percent. GDP supported by aviation in the region could fall by up to US$85 billion. Previous estimate was $66 billion. In Africa, IATA said job losses in aviation and related industries could increase by up to 3.5 million. That is more than half of the region's 6.2 million aviation-related employment and 400,000 more than the previous estimate. Full-year 2020 traffic is expected to plummet by 54 percent (more than 80 million passenger journeys) compared to 2019. Previous estimate was a fall of 51 percent. GDP supported by aviation in the region could fall by up to US$35 billion. IATA previously estimated a US$28 billion decline.
Rolls-Royce works on low-emissions engine testing: Rolls-Royce has started its latest phase of testing on its low-emissions technology for its next generation of engines. An ALECSys (Advanced Low Emissions Combustion System) demonstrator engine – with technology that features in both the Advance3 and UltraFan programmes – has resumed ground test runs in Derby UK. Reducing emissions from gas turbines is part of the wider Rolls-Royce sustainability strategy, which also involves support for the increased use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and intensive research into disruptive propulsion architectures and technologies. The lean-burn combustion system improves the pre-mixing of fuel and air prior to ignition – delivering a more complete combustion of the fuel, resulting in lower NOX and particulate emissions. The first series of tests began in 2018 and this latest phase will focus on validating emissions performance, engine control system software and functional performance. The tests commence as Rolls-Royce starts to build the first parts for the UltraFan demonstrator, which will start ground tests next year. UltraFan offers a 25 percent fuel saving over the first generation of Trent engine. The ALECSys programme is supported by the EU via Clean Sky, and in the UK by the Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK.
Foodpanda takes to the skies with pandaFly: Foodpanda, a Singaporean delivery business, has tested food delivery via drone with pandaFly, which completed its delivery test flight recently. The company worked with engineering group ST Engineering for an order of five packets of Ayam Penyet ('smashed' fried chicken) that was delivered from Marina South Pier to PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH) Vessel, located 3km off the pier, in under 10 minutes. The latest flight test demonstrated by ST Engineering using its DroNet solution proves that it's possible to simultaneously deliver longer distances and cut delivery times by half. Intended as a complement to the company's delivery drivers, the drones will be able to pick up and deliver orders at designated collection points throughout Singapore where one of Foodpanda's 12,000 riders will be waiting to complete the last-mile delivery. In March this year, Foodpanda inked a partnership with ST Engineering to adapt its DroNet solution to trial the delivery of light food items over short distances of up to 3km. DroNet is an end-to-end drone network solution designed to carry out specific tasks or services autonomously in an urban environment. ST Engineering's DroNet is a drone-agnostic operating platform capable of integrating autonomous and multi-function Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) networks. An end-to-end system designed to carry out specific tasks or services in an urban environment, DroNet is developed in close consultation with aviation regulators and industry partners, incorporating the latest smart technologies such as face recognition and visual imaging to meet existing and future uses of UAS in a robust and safe manner. It can be tailored for military and commercial applications.
Jet Aviation Geneva delivers 240-month check on a Bombardier Global Express: Jet Aviation's maintenance facility in Geneva has recently re-delivered its first 240-month check on a Global Express. The inspection was successfully performed in conjunction with an avionics modification and a number of service bulletins. The company has since initiated a combined 120/180-month check on a Global Express XRS — with more in the pipeline. Essentially a repeat (the second) of the largest inspection for the Global Express, the 240-month check involves an extensive overhaul of all major aircraft systems and structures, including the internal side of the aircraft's fuselage. Gaining access for such rigorous scrutiny necessitates removal of the entire cabin and soundproofing materials, ensuring exceptional care in their storage, while paying great attention to detail for the duration of the check. Jet Aviation Geneva offers full heavy maintenance services for the Bombardier Global Express series, Gulfstream aircraft and Boeing BBJ. Since achieving this impressive milestone, the facility has already commenced a 120/180-month check on a Global Express XRS.
Honeywell to provide flightdeck tech for UAS vehicles: Honeywell and Vertical Aerospace have signed a letter of intent naming Honeywell as the supplier for flight deck technologies for its demonstrator aircraft programme. The demonstrator programme will help Vertical Aerospace understand flight characteristics, system requirements and the flight deck user interface to further the development of its urban air mobility (UAM) vehicle. The agreement deepens the collaboration between the two companies following the signing of contracts in 2019 to equip Vertical demonstration aircraft with the Honeywell Compact Fly-By-Wire System and flight control software. "One of the most important outcomes of this program will be the successful demonstration of simplified vehicle operations, which essentially is about making these aircraft more intuitive and flattening the learning curve to safely fly them," said Stéphane Fymat, vice president and general manager, UAS/UAM, Honeywell Aerospace. "Vertical Aerospace has been a wonderful partner, and we're excited to be part of its demonstrator aircraft to address this challenge and, in doing so, help move the entire industry forward." The new agreement includes several other technologies present in the front end of the aircraft. These include multitouch displays, avionics system controls, avionics software and the vehicle operating system. These technologies will work together with other systems onboard the aircraft to make the aircraft simpler to operate than a traditional airplane or helicopter, while still ensuring safety of the operator and other occupants. This type of "simplified vehicle operation" will be a transformative next step in the UAM industry.
Cathay releases July traffic figures: The Cathay Pacific Group released its combined traffic figures for July 2020 that reflected the airlines' continued substantial capacity reductions in response to significantly reduced demand as well as travel restrictions and quarantine requirements in place in Hong Kong and other markets amid the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon carried a total of 42,984 passengers in July, a decrease of 98.7 percent compared to July 2019. The month's revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) fell 98.1 percent year-on-year. Passenger load factor dropped by 62.6 percentage points to 23.4 percent, while capacity, measured in available seat kilometres (ASKs), decreased by 92.9 percent. In the first seven months of 2020, the number of passengers carried dropped by 79.4 percent against a 69.9 percent decrease in capacity and a 76.6 percent decrease in RPKs, as compared to the same period for 2019. The airline group said the global aviation sector continues to face major headwinds as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated travel restrictions that have been implemented. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has now adjusted its forecast for when international passenger demand will return to pre-pandemic levels to 2024, one year later than its previous estimate.
CALC announces 2020 interim results: China Aircraft Leasing Group, a full value chain aircraft solutions provider for the global aviation industry, announced the group's results for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Total revenue and other income of the group for the period reached HK$1.6 billion, level to that of the last corresponding period. Profit attributable to shareholders grew by 6.1 percent year-on-year, amounting to HK$331.6 million. During the period, the group delivered seven aircraft and disposed of four aircraft. As of 30 June 2020, CALC had 137 aircraft in its fleet, including 114 owned and 23 managed aircraft. CALC's aircraft were on lease to 35 airlines in 15 countries and regions. In March, CALC acquired a 72.82 percent interest in Aviation Synergy, which holds a 49 percent indirect equity interest in PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri, an Indonesian airline. This transaction further expands the group's aircraft downstream business. Also in March, FLARI Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering Company, the group's maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) joint venture set up with FL Technics obtained certification as an approved EASA Part 145 Maintenance Organization, and permitted to provide line maintenance services for aircraft from the Boeing 737 NG series to Airbus A320 families.
