It's not your imagination: There really is a MAGA migration to Florida
Gingrich move to Naples is just latest addition to rightist roster

If you had the impression that all the debris and detritus of the Trump years was drifting southward to Florida—you'd be right.
The latest move is by Newt and Callista Gingrich, who on May 3 purchased a property in Naples' tony Quail West development and will be moving there permanently in September.

They're just part of the Trumps, Trumpsters and assorted Trumpers migrating to the swampy warmth of Florida south of Interstate 4.
Of course, the real lodestar for all this is Donald Trump himself, the loser of the 2020 election, who retreated to his luxurious lair of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach following his failed January 6th attempt to overturn the US government and cancel the election. Trump became a full-time Florida resident in September 2019 and officially tweeted the change on Nov. 1 of that year.
"…Despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in city, state and local taxes each year, I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state. Few have been treated worse," he complained of New York. At the time he was under pressure from New York authorities investigating a variety of suspected misbehavior. (That pressure may turn into indictments any day now, his Florida residence notwithstanding.)
Along with the Former Guy himself came the family Trumps, who have settled along the east coast of the peninsula. Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have purchased a lot for $32 million on Miami's exclusive Indian Creek Island, known as the "Billionaires Bunker."
Further north, Don Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, purchased two waterfront homes in Jupiter's Admiral's Cove, another exclusive high-end enclave. The main house, 492 Mariner Drive, listed for $11 million. Next door, Guilfoyle was planning to purchase a $9.5 million mansion for her family, according to The Palm Beach Post.

It's not only the current family coming south: Trump ex-spouse Marla Maples has settled in Miami, joining her daughter Tiffany who already resides there with her fiancée, Michael Boulos. In March, Marla posted a photo on Instagram of her coyly displaying a Florida driver's license.
Interestingly, while Trump & Family settle into extravagant and expensive digs, lesser Trumpsters who served his campaign or administration are pleading poverty and penury, either because they're out of the graces of the Orange One, or because they're facing the wrath of law enforcement.
Fort Lauderdale is home to Roger Stone, political trickster, lobbyist and consultant. Stone was arrested there on Jan. 25, 2019 and charged with witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and five counts of making false statements during Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian collusion. He was convicted of seven felonies and sentenced to 40 months in prison. Trump first commuted his sentence and then pardoned him altogether just before leaving office. However, this past April 16, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sued Stone for $2 million in back taxes.
Stone pleaded poverty: "The Internal Revenue Service is well aware of the fact that my three-year battle for freedom against the corrupted Mueller investigation has left me destitute," Stone told The Associated Press. "They're well aware that I have no assets and that their lawsuit is politically motivated. It's particularly interesting that my tax attorneys were not told of this action, filed at close of business on a Friday. The American people will learn, in court, that I am on the verge of bankruptcy and that there are no assets for the government to take."
That's not the IRS view, which holds that Stone and his wife used a commercial front to "shield their personal income from enforced collection" and support a "lavish lifestyle."
According to the IRS filing: "Despite notice and demand for payment, Roger and Nydia Stone have failed and refused to pay the entire amount of the liabilities."
The drama will play out in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom over the coming months.
Also in Fort Lauderdale, Brad Parscale, who touts himself as "an advertising legend," served as Trump's campaign manager for 897 days before a major Trump rally he organized in June 2020 in Tulsa, Oklahoma failed spectacularly.

During his Trump time, Parscale was riding high with a salary of $15,000 a month but with seeming use of much more. Under Parscale Properties LLC, he invested in real estate around Fort Lauderdale including a $2.4 million waterfront home for himself. Over the course of a few months he also purchased $300,000 in luxury cars.
But apparently he wasn't feeling well after his fall from grace. On Sept. 27, 2020 his girlfriend called Fort Lauderdale police to say that he was waving a gun and threatening both her and himself. Parscale's takedown by police in his driveway was videotaped and widely broadcast. He sold his main house shortly after his arrest and the following day listed a townhome he also owned.
In March 2021, Pascale announced that he had formed a new super political action committee (PAC) called American Greatness PAC and a non-profit American Greatness Fund, which promotes what it calls the Election Integrity Alliance to "unite groups and efforts across the nation focused on combating election fraud." It will fund state legislators and activists "on challenges to free and fair elections."
Donors will no doubt be reassured by Parscale's proven record of handling money in the past.
The other side of Alligator Alley
In an essay published in The Washington Post this past January, humorist Dave Barry put Florida's east and west coasts into perspective:
"…Miami, where I live, is directly across the Everglades from Naples, only about 100 miles as the crow flies, which the crow had better do because if it lands it will be eaten by a Burmese python," he wrote. "But despite their proximity, the two cities, because of unfortunate stereotypes, view each other negatively. Miami views Naples as a boring, retiree-infested backwater where the height of wild nightlife is ordering a second round of breadsticks at the Olive Garden. Naples views Miami as an insane urban hellscape whose residents celebrate every occasion, including Valentine's Day, with gunfire.
"For the record, both of these unfortunate stereotypes are 100 percent accurate."
Perhaps it was this boringness—or viewed another way, the peace and quiet—of the Gulf coast that first drew Indiana native Mike Pence to Sanibel Island. During his time as Trump's vice president, Pence would occasionally vacation at an undisclosed location there. Whether his trips continue in the future or he settles there permanently, only Pence himself knows.
For four years Pence was an unfailingly loyal and servile wingman to Donald Trump—who rewarded him by inciting a murderous mob to try to lynch him on Jan. 6.
Also on the Gulf coast is the longtime home of former Florida governor and current senator Rick Scott, whose beachfront home at 3150 Gordon Dr., Naples, is estimated to be worth over $30 million as it awaits climate change-driven sea level rise to wash it into the Gulf.
Naples, with a picturesque downtown and beautiful beaches, has been a minor haven for right-wing pundits and performers for some time.
Fox News commentator Sean Hannity bought a $4.75 million penthouse in a luxury high-rise condo called Moraya Bay in 2009. It was one element of his real estate empire that reportedly includes as many as 900 properties around the country. Hannity sold that penthouse for $5.7 million in December 2020 and has reportedly moved on to Florida's east coast.
Among the Fox news readers, Brett Baier also has a condo in Naples, possibly in Moraya Bay.
Also in Naples, rocker Ted Nugent, better known at this point for his extreme political views than his music, has long been an occasional seasonal resident. Nugent announced on April 19 that he had contracted COVID-19 a week after performing at Seed to Table, a defiantly COVID-denying, anti-masking market in North Naples.
None of these celebrities made much of an impression on the local community, either showing up on the streets, in shops or in the pages of slick hometown lifestyle magazines as charitable donors.
To the north of Sanibel, Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson occasionally visits the $2.9 million, 3,000-square-foot plus, single-level modernist home he purchased in 2020 on Gasparilla Island, one of the Gulf shore's many islands.
Newt and Callista Gingrich are the latest additions to the Gulf shore, scheduled to move permanently to Naples in September.
Newt, of course, was Speaker of the US House of Representatives from 1995 until he was ousted in 1999. Callista is just back from a stint as US ambassador to the Vatican's Holy See.
Her presence will give Naples two former Vatican ambassadors, given the presence of Francis Rooney, who served in that capacity from 2005 to 2008 before representing the district in Congress from 2016 to 2020.
Rooney called Southwest Florida "the redder than red region" in a 2016 speech at the Collier County Fairgrounds when he introduced then-candidate Donald Trump. While he later broke with Trump and Trumpism, he was certainly right in his characterization.
To his credit, for all his ideological loyalty, Gingrich vehemently denounced the Jan. 6 insurrection in no uncertain terms:
"I was furious. I am furious. Every person who broke into the Capitol has to be arrested and has to be prosecuted," said Gingrich in a Fox News interview the day after the riot. "This is the center of freedom on the whole planet. It's a symbol for everybody. And what happened yesterday was utterly, totally inexcusable. People should be locked up and punished. And I'm delighted that they're increasing the preparations for the inaugural because we have to make absolutely certain nothing like this happens again. But as a former House member as well, as you point out, former speaker, I found it enraging that people who clearly are not patriots — these are people are destructive barbarians and they are frankly criminals, and they should be treated that way and locked up. And I'm very proud of the Capitol Police, that they clearly needed a lot more reinforcements yesterday."
This is not to say that Gingrich hasn't pounded the Trumpist drum for a long time. But at least he drew the line at insurrection.
Someone who never broke with the Big Lie and in fact swore actual allegiance to the absurd QAnon conspiracy theory is Michael Flynn. He served 24 days as Trump's national security advisor in 2017 before being dismissed after lying to Pence about his contacts with the Russians. He pleaded guilty to one felony count of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, then withdrew his guilty plea. He was pardoned by Trump in December 2020.
On April 9 Flynn and his wife Lori closed on a home in the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club in Englewood. It's a modest, 2,236-square foot single family home valued at $543,005 with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms that backs onto a lake.
Sidebar: Disappearing beaches

In keeping with Trump's "Me First" philosophy, Naples' beachfront condos and hotels are now trying to drive Floridians off the sands of the area's beaches.
Florida law allows property owners to possess beaches up to the "mean high tide line"—i.e., the dry sand up to the water. For the most part, the beaches are sufficiently broad that in the past there was room for all and people could walk and pitch their umbrellas where they liked.
But the high-end beachfront resorts and condos sell themselves as having exclusive, private beaches. They're prohibited from putting up clear barriers like traffic cones to keep people off the sand. Instead, they put up barriers of beach chairs right to the water's edge. Beachgoers are allowed on the dry sand as long as they keep walking but if they sit down they're shooed away by security guards. Otherwise, everyday Floridians had better stay in the water—not exactly where people can camp out to enjoy a day at the beach.
The leader in this movement to appropriate the beaches is the Moraya Bay condo in North Naples, once home to Hannity. Further south, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the town's Vanderbilt Beach has moved with increasing aggressiveness to keep plebeians off its sands. Once upon a time, the Ritz-Carlton was tolerant and welcoming but no more. The condos' movement against beachgoers is picking up steam, both with other property owners and with state legislators like the area's state Sen. Kathleen Passidomo (R-28-Naples) who in 2018 introduced legislation to make it more difficult for municipalities to claim beaches for all residents.
Naples, which prizes its beaches as its main tourist attraction, is headed toward a time when all but a small strip of wet sand will be off-limits to anyone other than the extremely well-heeled. It's the logical result of Trumpism on the ground—literally.
It's the law
"My parents live in Florida now," observed comedian Jerry Seinfeld. "They moved there last year. They didn't want to move to Florida, but they're in their 60s, and that's the law."
Seinfeld continued: "You know how it works. They got the leisure police. They pull up in front of the old people's house with the golf cart, jump out: 'Let's go, Pop! White belt, white pants, white shoes! Get in the back! Drop the snow shovel! Right there! Drop it!'"
As it is for normal people, so it is for Trump and his Trumpsters. Perhaps Seinfeld's Florida must-move law was the only law Trump ever obeyed—and even then he was tardy, being well past 60 when he took Florida residency in 2019. Flynn, Stone and the Gingriches are all past 60 and all coming to Florida to—presumably—retire.
Being under 60, the family—Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr., and Tiffany—have moved because that's simply the way of the world: where Daddy goes, so they go all.
As for the rest of the Tumpers, pundits and assorted minions of all ages, in addition to the extreme politics, they're attracted to the beaches, the heat and the low taxes like everyone else.
Politically, though, these are not just ordinary immigrants. Their presence along with their money, a Trumpist governor and a Republican legislature incline Florida to indeed become Florumpia—a state governed in true Trump fashion where voting is suppressed, dissent is crushed, corruption is pervasive, lawbreaking is excused, lying is instinctive, bankruptcy always looms and fantasy prevails.
In Florida, all the world will be able to see what a second Trump administration would have looked like—and could look like again if Trump and Trumpism are able to triumph in future elections at any level.
But then, Florida has always attracted delusional dreamers and fevered fantasists. Why should Trump be any different?

Q: Eliminate \xa0 return UnicodeEncodeError I am getting data using Xpath and the output has '\xa0' which is Unicode. I wanted to eliminate it but it returns:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Here is my code:
page_active = requests.get('http://www.marketinout.com/stock-screener/stocks.php?list=volume_leaders&exch=asx')

data = active.xpath('//tbody/tr/td/text()')

In order to eliminate '\xa0', I tried [a.replace('\xa0',' ') for a in data] but it returns:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I also used [a.decode('utf-8').replace("\xa0","") for a in data] but I'm still getting the same error.

A: You need to tell Python to interpret your strings as Unicode.
To do this, add a u before your strings:
[a.replace(u'\xa0', u' ') for a in data]

A: You are mixing bytes and Unicode, don't do that. Use Unicode string literals instead:
[a.replace(u'\xa0', u' ') for a in data]

Otherwise, Python will try to decode the byte string '\xa0' as ASCII, and 0xA0 is not a valid ASCII codepoint.
Alternatively, use unicode.strip() to remove trailing and leading whitespace; the U+00A0 codepoint counts as whitespace:
[a.strip() for a in data]

Where did the horsemen who swept over ancient Europe before the Roman Empire actually come from?
The culture of the Scythians gives us a deep insight into our own origins. Well worth watching!
This remarkable and very informative video explains the significance of the Scythian culture whose remains have been unearthed in the vast open steppes that stretch from the Baltic to the Pacific.
The latest DNA evidence is revealing that an enormous number of people of European stock, while descended on the female side from the Stone Age hunter-gatherer artists of southern France and northern Spain, have their paternal ancestry in southern Russia.
It now appears increasingly certain that this reflects the spread in Bronze Age times of horse-riding, chariot-driving, animal-herding nomads from Russia.

Sag Harbor, NY - April 25, 2018 - Bay Street Theater and Sag Harbor Center for the Arts is pleased to announce the full cast and creative team for the World Premiere of FELLOW TRAVELERS, a new play by Jack Canfora, directed by Michael Wilson. The production will run as the first show in Bay Street Theater's 2018 Mainstage Season, from May 29 – June 17, 2018. Single tickets are on sale now, and tickets are also still available as part of a Mainstage Subscription. To purchase tickets and subscriptions, call the Box Office at 631-725-9500 or purchase online at www.baystreet.org.
Set during Hollywood's notorious blacklist period, FELLOW TRAVELERS explores the complicated relationship between three American icons: director Elia Kazan, writer Arthur Miller, and actress Marilyn Monroe. Look behind the glitter and glamour of the Silver Screen and Broadway to see how the politics of the McCarthy era affected their friendship, and how their friendship affected their work in this intimate and passionate world premiere.
FELLOW TRAVELERS is a new play written by Jack Canfora (POETIC LICENSE, JERICHO). This world premiere is directed by Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Michael Wilson (THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, THE BEST MAN, Bay Street Theater's GREY GARDENS). Other members of the creative team include Jeff Cowie (Scenic Designer), David C. Woolard (Costume Designer), Ken Billington (Lighting Designer), Mark Bennett (Sound Designer), Rocco Disanti (Projection Designer), Meg Murphy (Hair & Makeup Designer), Andrew Diaz (Props Designer), Stephen Gabis (Dialect Coach), Robert Bennett (Production Stage Manager), and Denise Yaney (Assistant Stage Manager).
FELLOW TRAVELERS stars Wayne Allen Wilcox (GILMORE GIRLS, Film of RENT, THE NORMAL HEART, CHAPLIN) as Arthur Miller, Vince Nappo (THE LAST TYCOON, FRIENDS WITH KIDS, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET) as Elia Kazan, Rachel Spencer Hewitt (RETURN TO THE HIDING PLACE, A CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS) as Marilyn Monroe, Mark Blum (MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, AMY AND THE ORPHANS, THE BEST MAN) as Harry Cohn, and Jeffrey Bean (BELLS ARE RINGING, AMADEUS) as Roy Brewer/Kermit Bloomgarden.
"We are thrilled to welcome such an exceptional team of artists to Bay Street for the world premiere of Jack Canfora's FELLOW TRAVELERS," says Bay Street Theater's Artistic Director Scott Schwartz, "This play is about giants of the stage and screen, larger than life personalities who made great art and a great impact on our American culture. It is a searing portrait of extraordinary people struggling with the politics of their time and their love for one another, and I can't wait to see how this cast and creative team brings their story to vivid life."
The 2018 Mainstage Season is made accessible for all through special ticket offers such as "$30 under 30", which offers $30 tickets to individuals under 30 years old (sponsored by The Corcoran Group), and "$20 under 20", which offers $20 tickets to individuals under 20 years old. Bay Street Theater also will host a "Pay What You Can" performance of FELLOW TRAVELERS on May 29 at 7 pm, sponsored by Sotheby's International Realty. Previews of FELLOW TRAVELERS are from May 29 – June 1, which are sponsored by Peconic Landing.
Bay Street Theater will also offer "Talkback Tuesdays" with members of the FELLOW TRAVELERS cast on Tuesday, June 5, and Tuesday, June 12, immediately following the performances.
Jack Canfora's plays have been produced to critical acclaim both Off-Broadway and in regional theaters throughout the United States. His Off-Broadway play POETIC LICENSE was hailed as "Smart, unsettling drama" by The New York Times and "Clever…articulate…white-hot" by The Associated Press. His play JERICHO received a highly lauded Off-Broadway run. It was a New York Times "Critics' Pick," with the paper calling it "painfully significant" and "A lovely, humorous work… a smart, hard-hitting drama filled with biting wit." Theatre Communications Group referred to the play as "an important contribution to the repertoire of the American Stage." His play PLACE SETTING was nominated, along with plays by Edward Albee and Theresa Rebeck, as "Best Play for 2007" by The Newark Star Ledger. He also co-wrote and co-created the comedy web series "THE SMALL TIME," which won the 2016 Webby Award for Best Writing. He lives in New York with his dog.
Michael Wilson returns to Bay Street Theater this season, where he also directed the musical GREY GARDENS starring Betty Buckley and Rachel York prior to its Los Angeles premiere at CTG''s Ahmanson Theater in 2016. On Broadway, he directed Horton Foote's THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL starring Cicely Tyson, who won the Best Actress Tony Award. Other Broadway work includes Gore Vidal's THE BEST MAN (starring Candice Bergen, James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury and Eric McCormack); DIVIDING THE ESTATE (starring Hallie Foote and Gerald McRaney); and ENCHANTED APRIL (starring Elizabeth Ashley, Jayne Atkinson and Molly Ringwald), for which he earned an Outer Critics Circle nomination. Off-Broadway, he directed Arthur Miller's INCIDENT AT VICHY starring Richard Thomas; Lanford Wilson's TALLEY'S FOLLY starring Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson; and the epic three-part, nine-hour ORPHANS' HOME CYCLE, for which he received Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. Internationally, he directed Tony Kushner's ANGELS IN AMERICA for the 1995 Venice Biennale. Wilson made his screen directorial debut with the 2014 Lifetime/Ostar television film adaptation of THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, nominated for two Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Television Movie, and a DGA Award for Outstanding Direction of a Movie or Mini-Series for Television. Recipient of Bay Street Theater's 2017 Artistic Visionary Award, Wilson was Artistic Director from 1998-2011 of Hartford Stage, where he commissioned Quiara Alegria Hudes' Pulitzer Prize winning play, WATER BY THE SPOONFUL.

On Monday, July 3rd, we invite rabbis and cantors (and their spouses) to join us and Breaking the Silence for a tour about the history and realities of the occupation in the Ramallah area in the central West Bank. The tiyyul describes the development of the Israeli policy in the occupied territories throughout fifty years of occupation, the development of the settlement enterprise, the first and second Intifadah (Palestinian uprisings) and the Oslo process, and the IDF's methods of operation in the territories from the Second Intifadah onward. We will explore how the occupation has impacted the lives of Palestinians through land, planning and civil policy, and the consequences of having two separate legal systems for Israelis and Palestinians.
The tour is a circular route, leaving from Jerusalem and touring the area around Ramallah from the east via Route 60. The main stops of the tour are the settlement of Ofra —driving through Wadi Haramia— a meeting with Palestinian activists in the village of Nabi Saleh, a visit to the ultra-orthodox settlement of Modi'in Illit, and a stop near Ofer military prison on Route 443.
We'll look at the places we visit, the people we meet, and the issues we encounter through the lenses of human rights, the lived experiences of Palestinians and soldiers, and through Jewish text, and will explore how we might bring these stories back to our communities.
This trip's logistical coordinator is Itamar Haritan, Truah's Israel Program Manager, who will be sending out a confirmation email. The trip fee of $20 includes all transportation and a kosher, vegetarian lunch.
We will not be entering Area A of the West Bank. We will be monitoring the security situation and will make any appropriate changes to the itinerary as necessary.
If you are unable to attend the tiyyul, and would be interested in another opportunity on Sunday, July 16th, please click here to let us know, and we may organize an additional tiyyul on that date.
This event has ended. Sign up for our mailing list to stay informed of future opportunities.
This event is currently sold out. Please contact us for options.


What are the best mobile phones still coming in 2018? We round up the best smartphones set to launch next year, including the Samsung Galaxy S9, OnePlus 6, Apple's latest iPhones and beyond.
Well, 2017 was an absolutely stunning year for smartphones.
We saw the launch of he likes of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8, iPhone X, HTC U11, OnePlus 5T, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and plenty more besides, all of which packed incredible performance, sleek design work and awesome features.
Lots of these premium blowers pack HDR-ready screens, while the Sony Xperia XZ Premium went one further by delivering the world's first 4K HDR mobile display.
We have also seen some great budget blowers, for those on a tighter budget. You still get an enjoyable user experience and impressive power from the Moto G5 Plus, Sony Xperia XA1, Honor 7X and other wallet-friendly mobiles, at a much reduced price.
Trends have been towards even bigger blowers than ever before, with many handsets touching the 6-inch display mark.
However In 2018 you can expect more of the same, as bezels shrink and manufacturers use 18:9 aspect ratios for their smartphone screens. This means mobiles will stay relatively skinny, despite those larger panels.
Here's some of the big launches we're already expecting in 2018, including any rumours and hearsay that's floating about.
Pretty much all of the big manufacturers have an Android launch in the cannon, ready to fire our way in 2018. Some of these are expected to be revealed at MWC in February, or around that time at a separate event. Others will be hitting UK stores later in the year.
The Galaxy S8 has already been hailed as one of the best phones ever made, so the bar has been set sky high for the incoming Samsung Galaxy S9.
We're certainly not surprised to hear that the Korean tech giant is reportedly hard at work on making its 2018 flagship phone even better again, so rumours are already flying thick and fast.
You can expect an update dual lens camera, similar to the one used by the Note 8, as well as a fingerprint sensor integrated directly into the display. Not to mention the latest Snapdragon 845 chipset, which is incredibly energy efficient.
That means improved battery life with any luck.

There will be lots—and we mean lots—of seersucker on display at this weekend's Kentucky Derby, but most of it will be awful. It's not seersucker's fault that its been worn so poorly in the past—you don't blame leather for Justin Bieber's many offenses with the fabric, so why hate on seersucker because of a few preppy bad eggs? Here's a bunch of lightly-striped gear for all parts of your body that you can wear without bumming everyone out.

Q: index 2d numpy.array with 2d numpy.array I have an N-by-2 numpy array of 2d coordinates named coords, and another 2d numpy array named plane. What I want to do is like
for x,y in coords:
    plane[x,y] = 0

but without for loop to improve efficiency. How to do this with vectorized code? Which function or method in numpy to use?

A: You can try plane[coords.T[0], coords.T[1]] = 0 Not sure this is what you want. For example:
Let,
plane = np.random.random((5,5))
coords = np.array([ [2,3], [1,2], [1,3] ])

Then,
plane[coords.T[0], coords.T[1]] = 0

will give:
array([[ 0.41981685,  0.4584495 ,  0.47734686,  0.23959934,  0.82641475],
   [ 0.64888387,  0.44788871,  0.        ,  0.        ,  0.298522  ],
   [ 0.22764842,  0.06700281,  0.04856316,  0.        ,  0.70494825],
   [ 0.18404081,  0.27090759,  0.23387404,  0.02314846,  0.3712009 ],
   [ 0.28215705,  0.12886813,  0.62971   ,  0.9059715 ,  0.74247202]])

Q: Add values to one column of a pandas dataframe based on the values in another Say I have two matrices, an original and a reference:
import pandas as pa
print "Original Data Frame"
# Create a dataframe
oldcols = {'col1':['a','a','b','b'], 'col2':['c','d','c','d'], 'col3':[1,2,3,4]}
a = pa.DataFrame(oldcols)
print "Original Table:"
print a

print "Reference Table:"
b = pa.DataFrame({'col1':['x','x'], 'col2':['c','d'], 'col3':[10,20]})
print b

Where the tables look like this:
Original Data Frame
Original Table:
  col1 col2  col3
0    a    c     1
1    a    d     2
2    b    c     3
3    b    d     4

Reference Table:
  col1 col2  col3
0    x    c    10
1    x    d    20

Now I want to subtract from the third column (col3) of the original table (a), the value in the reference table (c) in the row where the second columns of the two tables match. So the first row of table two should have the value 10 added to the third column, because the row of table b where the column is col2 is 'c' has a value of 10 in col3. Make sense? Here's some code that does that:
col3 = []
for ix, row in a.iterrows():
    col3 += [row[2] + b[b['col2'] == row[1]]['col3']]

a['col3'] = col3
print "Output Table:"
print a

Yielding the following output:
Output Table:
  col1 col2  col3
0    a    c  [11]
1    a    d  [22]
2    b    c  [13]
3    b    d  [24]

My question is, is there a more elegant way to do this? Also, the results in 'col3' should not be lists. Solutions using numpy are also welcome.

A: I did not quite understand your description of what you are trying to do, but the output you have shown can be generated by first merging the two data frames and then some simple operations;
>>> df = a.merge(b.filter(['col2', 'col3']), how='left',
                 left_on='col2', right_on='col2', suffixes=('', '_'))
>>> df
  col1 col2  col3  col3_
0    a    c     1     10
1    b    c     3     10
2    a    d     2     20
3    b    d     4     20

[4 rows x 4 columns]
>>> df.col3_.fillna(0, inplace=True) # in case there are no matches
>>> df.col3 += df.col3_
>>> df
  col1 col2  col3  col3_
0    a    c    11     10
1    b    c    13     10
2    a    d    22     20
3    b    d    24     20

[4 rows x 4 columns]
>>> df.drop('col3_', axis=1, inplace=True)
>>> df
  col1 col2  col3
0    a    c    11
1    b    c    13
2    a    d    22
3    b    d    24

[4 rows x 3 columns]

If values in col2 in b are not unique, then probably you also need something like:
>>> b.groupby('col2', as_index=False)['col3'].aggregate(sum)

I am a big time lazy girl and home remedies are so not my thing but the laziness has now started reflecting even on my skin as I have been neglecting it a lot off late. Lacing my skin with chemicals from store brought creams, lotions and serums maybe the quickest way to restore its glow but they come with their own cons. So I decided to finally drive my laziness away and include some simple home remedies and DIY in my skin care routine . I must say home remedies have their own benefits, results last longer plus they are super easy on the pocket too. So go ahead and try these remedies and see if they work for you.
Detan with a Tomato: Many beauty blogger friends follow this detanning routine using a tomato. My vacations this Xmas and new year meant I developed a slight tan and finally decided to give this routine a try and guess what! It actually works. I cut a ripe tomato and massaged it on my face for about fifteen minutes in circular motions and then washed my face clean. I did this for 5 days daily to completely get rid of my tan. If you just have light tan you can try this twice a week .
How to Make: Cut open a tomato, sprinkle some brown sugar on it, next top it with a little yogurt and rub this all over your face and neck. This helps not only to Detan but also to exfoliate and hydrate your skin.
Tip: Make sure you rub in gently because brown sugar can be a tad bit too harsh on your skin.
Honey lemon Mask: Honey has plenty of benefits and it is used for variety of purposes in my home. I always have pure honey stocked and finally decided to include honey in my beauty routine. Honey has antibacterial properties which are ideal if you have acne or pimples. Lemon acts as a natural bleach and helps in giving you a clear complexion.
How to Make honey lemon mask: Squeeze half a lemon in a bowl and mix it with a teaspoon of honey. Apply on face and leave for 2 minutes. Wash it clean pat dry for hydrated and glowing skin. Do this once every morning or on alternate days.
Tip: If you have sensitive skin the lemon can sting so add just some drops of lemon juice to honey instead of half a lemon.
Besan rose water pack: Beauty benefits of besan and rose water are known even to my grand mother. Besan ubtans are used in giving a glow to the bride before her wedding day and there is no reason why you shouldn't try this home remedy on a regular basis.
How to make: Mix equal quantities of rose water and besan in a bowl and apply on face. wait for a minute or two and cleanse with water. This cleanses skin without stripping it of moisture and also clears your complexion.
Tip: Use pure rose water from premium brands for added benefits. Avoid cheap rose water like Dabur Gulbari which just has rose essence in it.
Regardless of age, we all want to have glowing skin. We can find plenty of home remedies for glowing skin but the tips provided by you is very effectively work on my skin. Keep on posting!

Kate Cowan is an artist, an animation student, a black belt in karate and now, an author. She didn't discover writing until mid-high school, when she began writing an (unintentionally) hilarious novel involving a teenage girl and a magic necklace. Her current novel series, The Legend of Eden, began as a story of Arthurian magic, but quickly transformed into something much different.
There are so many things I wish I had known before becoming an author. Specifically, everything. When I first started writing the Legend of Eden series, I was sixteen. Far, far younger than most, which I thought was pretty cool when I was sixteen - until I realized there was a very good reason teenagers don't often enter the world of authors and publishers. Though I was sixteen when I started writing, I was eighteen the first time book one, Garden of Eden, was published. Eighteen. It sounds old enough out loud, doesn't it? To me it does - I mean, it's just a number, right? When you're eighteen, you've graduated high school, in college or entering it, and think they know how to do it all on their own. I'm twenty-one now, and I wish I had known so many things at the time. Let me say, eighteen-year-olds all think they can do anything and it'll all be okay. I had done all the research, looked into all the publishers, and though I was doing it all the right way. Well, maybe I was, but there are so many things I wish someone had told me.
1. People can be cruel, and people can be great. Garden of Eden was published twice. I'm not going to name names, but the first time I signed a contract, I thought everything was perfect. I queried, I talked to the people in charge, I signed my contract and bingo, I thought it was all good. But the people. It was all about the people, and I didn't know that. No one told me the people behind that pretty publishers logo could possibly be so cruel. They can do whatever they like once that contract is signed, say whatever they want to say, be however horrible they want to be. I won't go into it too deeply, but remember - I was eighteen at the time. I had no idea this could happen outside of school. I thought people grew up after high school, started being adults, but I was wrong. To be perfectly honest, no amount of being careful can help this problem; you have to be aware it exists, and know that once you get out of the bad situation, you're going to be far stronger than you were before because of it. I was, and the second time Garden of Eden was published, I found out how great people can be. I met some great friends and business contacts through my current publishers, Anchor Group Publishing, and I never would have found them if it wasn't for my first publishers. I also met a great friend through those first publishers, and though we both went through some bad stuff because of the situation, I think we both helped each other through everything that was happening.
2. The meaning of a good editor. When I was first published, I read all of the articles, and the articles all said to edit your book. I never once realized (and this was probably my own stupid mistake) that to EDIT and GET AN EDITOR are two very different things. I assumed 'make sure your book is edited very well' meant do a few self-edits and then life is good. NO!! Noo, no no no, oh, hells no. It means find someone you pay who knows your genre and edits very well, and has good credentials. It means other eyes must see your book and fix all of the mistakes before it goes to print, because people WILL SEE THE MISTAKES! Lord, I can't believe that I ever thought it was okay to send my book anywhere with all of the errors in it. I think it probably took double the time to edit the book than it did to write the book, and that is the way it should be, every time.
3. Not all publishers are good publishers. This ties into #1, but apart from that, I learned quite a bit in my still-short journey through publishing. If a publisher asks for money from you at any time, they are a vanity press or they are trying to take advantage of you, and you need to run away! Also, there's this amazing little site called Absolute Write Water Cooler, and they have a section for reviews and bewares of publishers. If you google "Absolute Write *insert publisher name here*", you can get reviews and personal experiences for almost all the publishers that are out there. It's such a good source of info for new authors.
4. Success is still far away. I always thought once I a publisher accepted me and I signed a contract, all of my dreams would come true. It was a very, very naive way of thinking, I admit; I thought I'd be famous and have my books in B&N and Chapters and go to book signings in Europe and the USA, or at the very least get five thousand reviews as an indie and have a big publisher notice me and buy the rights to my book. I don't know what I was thinking. There's so much work to being an indie author and still sell books, and it's work I haven't yet had a chance to do in full-force. One day, I want to do this with my life; I want to be a known author, do those signings, have line-ups, but that's a far-off dream right now. I know I have a lot of work to do before then, and I may be sixty when - or if - that even happens. It takes time and work, but you have to love it if you really, really want it.
5. Waiting is very hard to do. Like I said above, being a writer isn't easy, and you have to wait - and word HARD - if you really want this. It's easy to give up at first if you do with without a whole lot to show for it, but you have to wait.

Spotlight on Kumon Waco
By Jessa McClure
Kumon Math and Reading Center of Waco
If you've ever watched your child struggle through their homework or become frustrated because they don't seem to grasp the concepts as quickly as their peers, then you know how heartbreaking it can be for both parent and child.
And while it often seems like solving these academic-related problems is impossible, Kumon Math and Reading Center of Waco instructor, Ms. Carol, said there is hope for every child in the Kumon program.
"Kumon's been around for 60 years," Ms. Carol said. "There are, internationally, more Kumon centers than there are McDonald's. That's how much they emphasize it."
That is why Ms. Carol is so excited to bring this proven program to the children and families of Waco for the first time ever.
The beauty of the program, the instructor said, is that the program is tailored to each individual child to help them achieve their goals and get on track to becoming a more confident student.
"If students are coming in for remedial courses, I want to get them caught up to grade level by the end of the year, and by the summer, they will be getting ahead of the game."
The idea, Ms. Carol said, is to make the child's schoolwork easy.
"In high school, this means, having time to participate in extracurricular activities because you're not spending hours struggling with homework," she said. "You'll be able to focus on getting into the school of your choice because schoolwork is no longer a burden."
The instructor, who has several advanced degrees in education, and is a Kumon parent as well, said that Kumon is different from other education centers because every assignment is hand-graded.
"The idea is that once we grade it, the students are required to do the corrections before they leave the center," Ms. Carol said. "You are getting that feedback immediately. Student know that in order to move on, they have to correct their mistakes."
And because students' work is so individualized, children don't feel the peer pressure to perform a certain way. Often times, this inspires self-motivation in the child.
"That's the thing about Kumon, we build confidence. We teach them the proper study approach and the righ t study habits," Ms. Carol said. "Maybe they're here for remedial courses, but at some point it clicks with them and you don't hold them back. You want them to go as far as they can."
The program focuses mainly on reading and mathematics, the instructor said, and is very affordable for parents.
"I always say to parents that they can either invest in their child's education now or later," she said. "And I guarantee that if it's later, it's going to be a lot more of a headache."
For more information on Kumon Waco and how the program can help your child, visit kumon.com/Waco or call 254-313-9277.

Most people who have achieved CEO status have done so through sheer grit and hard work. They refuse to take no for an answer.
Unfortunately along the way to this position, there might have been many relationship casualties left strewn across the path towards their success.
One of the often common complaints I have heard both as a counselor and a coach, is that some of these CEOs don't listen and for the most part, is lacking in the personality department.
When asked to elaborate on what it means to "lack personality," the conversation tend to circle back around to not being a good listener. The word impatience is sometimes added to the conversation.
According to the DiSC profile reports, which I facilitate, only three percent of the population has the kind of personality most CEOs possess to be a successful leader. It is called the Dominant Style. It is one that is less about feelings and more about the bottom-line.
Is it any wonder that there would be an added complaint about the personality of the CEO, which for the most part is what made. Him or her the CEO in the first place.
Having said that, I believe that most CEOs can improve their "reputation" in the eyes of their subordinates if they have a better understanding of these four styles of communication.
Those that would be labeled "people oriented" communicators are those who are more about preserving relationships than almost anything else. They will go out of their way to put the feelings of others first or at least take it into consideration.
They do this because this is what they want in return for themselves. There is an axiom that I have seen played out over the years of working with various kinds of relationships and that is, people give what they want for themselves.
In this case because this category of people are more relationship oriented, they will be very relational in their interaction with others. They do so because this is what they want for themselves. Anything less than relational in tone, can feel offensive to them.
To engage them, try using feeling words. Ask them about their relationships. Empathize as best as you can with them.
By doing this, you will get more "mileage" out of your conversation, they will feel like you took the time to connect with them, which leads to a change in their perception of you.
People who are action oriented communicators do not like lecture-format interaction. They are more into the bottom line. They would prefer shorter sentences with call to actions. Be clear on what you want from them or for them to do.
If you're more the relational style CEO, you will have to adjust as much as possible in your communication style.
Being more straightforward rather than "beating around the bush" is a necessity. You will have an idea of the communication preference of this style of person because they will be more business like in their approach. They are not too much into small talk.
People who are content oriented communicators are into details. They want to know the what, where, how, when and why.
This might be laborious for you especially if you are a matter-of-fact person who is more into the bottom-line.
If your personality is the action-oriented style, you will find this person draining. You won't have the patience for their preferred way of communication. Giving them full context as to why you are making certain suggestions is important to them.
This person is not one that you are going to want to interact with too much because your patience level will be constantly tested.
It would be good if you had someone do the interaction on your behalf with some personal touch. This does not mean you should avoid them. Just be aware of what their preference is.
People who are time oriented communicators are those who think they are skillful multi-taskers. They want to schedule time for interaction. They want to know how long the "meeting" will last.
Don't see this as insubordination. It is their way of wanting to be the most efficient with the use of their time. They are good time managers.
However, this might be interpreted as impersonal. They could be accused of uncaring because they tend to put tasks above people, which could be interpreted as they not caring.
You will admire people like these for the most part because of this "commitment." The downside is that co-workers may have ill-feelings about them and shun them. This might not be good for teamwork.
Scheduling time with them is one way of acknowledging their preferred style of communication.
Knowing about or getting help with these four communication styles of the various types of people that work for you, will help you better interact with them but most importantly, elevate your standing with them because they'll notice. This puts a personal touch to your leadership. Your reputation will precede you and you will get more from your people.

Madonna Is Hiring A Chef And Offering $140,000 For The Job
By Rachel Lewis - October 30, 2018
Hitmaker Madonna is looking to hire a private chef who will cook kosher meals for her and her six children and travel around the world with them. For the role, Madonna is offering the lucky applicant $140,000 a year. The 60-year-old posted a job advertisement on the website Talent Private Staff and is asking for them to be available to work with her in Lisbon, London, and New York.
The website reads, "This is a London-based position, with a Chef in place at US residences (however, you must be willing to travel to the US when required). To be suitable for this role, you must have knowledge of kosher cooking."
The description states that it must cater to her six children – Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy James, and twins Stella and Esther – and follow the "basic rules" of kosher cooking. "The Principal does not run a kosher kitchen (separate equipment for meat/dairy etc), but you must be familiar with all the basic rules (no dairy and meat served together, no pork, fish must have fins and scales- no swordfish, shellfish etc.)"
The job advertisement continues, "The client's favored foods are Italian cuisine (risotto is a favorite), Asian- Sushi/Sashimi, classic European and American dishes. They are not looking for a fine dining Chef; food should be healthy, simple and family style."
The "Like A Virgin" hitmaker may not be looking for anything too formal, but the chef will certainly have to cook to impress. "You will be cooking for the Principal, any guests/staff and young children (who all love food and eat the same as the Principal)."
Having moved to Portugal in August 2017, Madonna has been living in a luxury suite at the Pestana Palace in Lisbon, but it is reported that she splits her time between there, the UK, and the US.
This comes after her son, David, joined the Benefica youth soccer academy in 2017, her daughter, Lourdes, is believed to live in America, and her son, Rocco, lives with his father, Guy Ritchie, in London. The chef who is fortunate to be granted such a job will start their new position in late October or early November.

RNAi and heterochromatin repress centromeric meiotic recombination.
During meiosis, the formation of viable haploid gametes from diploid precursors requires that each homologous chromosome pair be properly segregated to produce an exact haploid set of chromosomes. Genetic recombination, which provides a physical connection between homologous chromosomes, is essential in most species for proper homologue segregation. Nevertheless, recombination is repressed specifically in and around the centromeres of chromosomes, apparently because rare centromeric (or pericentromeric) recombination events, when they do occur, can disrupt proper segregation and lead to genetic disabilities, including birth defects. The basis by which centromeric meiotic recombination is repressed has been largely unknown. We report here that, in fission yeast, RNAi functions and Clr4-Rik1 (histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase) are required for repression of centromeric recombination. Surprisingly, one mutant derepressed for recombination in the heterochromatic mating-type region during meiosis and several mutants derepressed for centromeric gene expression during mitotic growth are not derepressed for centromeric recombination during meiosis. These results reveal a complex relation between types of repression by heterochromatin. Our results also reveal a previously undemonstrated role for RNAi and heterochromatin in the repression of meiotic centromeric recombination and, potentially, in the prevention of birth defects by maintenance of proper chromosome segregation during meiosis.


The trailer of Hate Story 4 which released last week created ripples on the Internet in no time. Within minutes, the trailer was trending on Social Media. It won't be an exaggeration to say Hate Story 4 will be the most successful of the three films produced in the series by T-Series so far.
Hate Story films have been made on medium budget and the returns have always been very good. Hate Story 4's dramatic thriller's trailer which released last Saturday has garnered a thunderous response. The makers of the films are expecting a smashing opening on March 9 when the film hits the theatres.
What helps the Hate Story 4 films tremendously is that they are slickly made and their musical score and picturesque song locations with the right dosage of erotica add to its appeal. The songs of all the Hate Story films have been a chartbuster and the songs of Hate Story 4 promise to be no less. In the past, recreated songs such as Aaj phir tum pe pyaar aaya hai from Dayavan (Hate Story 2) and Tumhe apna banane ki kasam from Sadak (Hate Story 3) have been instantly liked by the fans of the Hate Story franchise. This time Himesh Reshammiya's all time hit Aashiq banaya aapne, recreated in Neha Kakkar's voice for Hate Story 4 is fast climbing up the popularity charts.
Hate Story 4 stars Urvashi Rautela, Karan Wahi, Vivan Bhatena, Ihana Dhillon and Gulshan Grover in key roles. The film is scheduled to release on March 9.

Reika Nishimura
Name (kanji/kana):
西村レイカ
Lives:
Tokyo; Africa (anime only)
Azabu Technical College student (anime), university student (manga)
Associates:
Motoki Furuhata (boyfriend), Setsuna Meiou (manga only)
Rikoukeidar
First Anime Appearance:
Total Chaos! The Messy Square Relationship
First Manga Appearance:
Act 11 Saikai ENDYMION
First PGSM Appearance:
Rita Blake, Reika Nishimura
Rica Fukami (anime); Mai Nakahara (Crystal); Wendy Lyon, Lindsay Collins (DiC dub); Sara Sahr (Cloverway dub); Erica Mendez (Viz dub)
Reika Nishimura was Motoki Furuhata's girlfriend in the anime and manga. She was the carrier of the Blue Rainbow Crystal in the anime.
In the anime, she attended Azabu Technical College. She left Japan twice in order to study abroad, resulting in a long distance relationship between herself and Motoki. The second time, she left the country for ten years, but Motoki was still willing to wait for her.
In the manga, Reika did not leave the country and simply attended the same university as Motoki. She also met Setsuna Meiou there and became friends with her.
She did not appear in the live-action series, as Motoki's character was revamped there and he instead pursued Makoto Kino.
In the "all characters" picture in the third artbook, Reika was drawn with blonde hair.
Reika was attacked by a different enemy in all three episodes of the anime in which she appeared.
In several dubs Reika was given more than one name. In the Portuguese dub, Reika was called "Rute" when she appeared for the first time in episode 29, "Raquel" in episode 41, and then in the SuperS season her original Japanese name was used instead. A similar situation occurred in the Latin American Spanish dub, where she was "Wanda" when she appeared for the first time and her original name was used in SuperS. In the French dub, Reika was called "Prisca" when she first appeared, while in the SuperS season her name was changed to "Marine."

Corinthians must overturn a two-goal deficit if they are to prolong their Copa Libertadores campaign beyond the round of 16.
Adenor Leonardo Bacchi's team trail Paraguayan outfit Guarani 2-0 heading into Wednesday's return leg in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Corinthians conceded two goals in the second half to leave themselves with a mountain to climb in their bid to join Tigres UANL, who are the only team so far to progress past the last-16, in the quarter-finals.
The 2012 champions, however, head into their second leg against Guarani on the back of a 1-0 victory over reigning Brazilian Serie A champions Cruzeiro in the opening round of their domestic league on Sunday.
"I accept any result if the opponent is better than me. It is a football game, it's not kill or be killed," Bacchi told reporters.
"Guarani can come here and win. What I ask is the performance of normality. Resume standard to be better than your opponent."
Fellow Serie A outfit Internacional are in a much better position as they prepare to host Atletico Mineiro in an all-Brazilian affair on Wednesday.
Inter scored two priceless away goals in a 2-2 draw at Mineiro last week.
Twice Inter took a lead, and twice they were pegged back by Mineiro in an entertaining first-leg battle.
Since leaving Belo Horizonte with the tie balanced in their favour, a second-string Inter team were swept aside 3-0 by Atletico PR on Sunday.
"The Libertadores is the ultimate dream. Everyone wants to advance," Inter coach Diego Aguirre said.
"We do not neglect the Brasileirao [Brazilian Serie A] but the priority is Wednesday. We took a risk. It [the defeat to Atletico PR] happened."
Brazilian giants Sao Paulo are also in action on Wednesday, travelling to Cruzeiro with a 1-0 lead.
River Plate, Emelec and Estudiantes all take leads into their second-leg matches.
Thursday will see River make the trip to bitter Argentine rivals Boca Juniors following last week's hard-fought 1-0 victory on home soil.
Ecuadorian side Emelec face Atletico Nacional in Colombia on Thursday, with the former leading 2-0.
Estudiantes of Argentina hold a slender 2-1 advantage over Colombia's Santa Fe heading into Tuesday's showdown.
Meanwhile, Racing Club host Wanderers on Thursday with the tie poised at 1-1.

The park has a high ecological value for its quality, diversity and the extension of many of its habitats and the great variety of species it contains, some of which are rare. The park was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1981.
It was the first National Park in Ireland, created when the Muckross house was donated to the Irish state in 1932. It encompasses more than 102.89 km2 of diverse ecology, including the lakes of Killarney, oak and yew forests of international importance and mountain peaks. It has herds of red deer, the only ones that can be found in Ireland and the largest native forest in Ireland.

I have about 200+ three-leaf clover left from previous event. I noticed a strange thing in current event. After using sliver sickle collecting Clovers, the total number of three-leaf clover in collections does NOT increase. Is that a bug?
There is 100 limit, so once your total goes below 100 it will start counting.
No, not a bug. Intelligent game play by Gi. Gone are the days of storing hundreds of event items. Now our max is 100, which quite honestly gives you a good start and means you actually play the event not just use up last years resources. As long as limit stays for event items only and isnt moved to other items in the warehouse!!
Very often I completely accept your opinion, this time however I completely disagree.
With this event we have very nice example how 100-limit is simply incompatible with the very basic concepts of this game. I hate doing something without any long-term reason behind but with the 100-limit the further participation in the current event contradicts to my common sense. If I tap on the bunnies, I collect leaves but I no longer need them and if I tap on the flowers, I collect three leaf clovers but I hit the 100 limit, so again no reason to do it. So I decided instead to stop playing the event.
Obviously the 100-limit has not made the event more interesting, in fact it worked exactly opposite.
At my level of the game I am not so interested in the event award building except when it is a) a residential building or b) a building with pax bonus with radius 3 or more. Nevertheless I play all events and exchange event items with my neighbors, being focused however on other things - now: I fly to my Jumbo alliance task destinations to 3* them, in other events I 3* the event flights currently up to and including Falcons.
What I like in this game most is that everyone could have a different goal and doesn't matter is one novice or old player, he/she could have a challenging goals. With the 100 limit however the goals for well advanced players somehow become not achievable - e.g. 3*-ing the alliance maps flights will take ages.
Free2Play @Ur-quan sorry to tag you guys, but I believe it is good to know a customer opinion of the changes in the game.
luxurycat and Aviatrix like this.
I was only referring to event items nothing else. 100 limit everywhere else is a game killer.
I dont understand why you need 500 clover for the event next year? You collect clover but use it to collect 100 leaves in the warehouse. Then make sure you also have 100 clover in the warehouse. Quite honestly that will be enough to finish the event a second time. And has the advantage, or maybe disadvantage, of putting everyone in the same place. Someone who finishes in 5 mins and can collect 100s of everything, has an advatange over over others. I say unfair. Just because someone did the event last year why should they have such a huge advantage over a lower player.
Respect your opinion but for event items, i agree that they should be limited. Why do i need 1300 air magnetometers or 990 baggage tags.? To finish in 5 mins? Whats the point of doing the event?
Why do i need 1300 air magnetometers or 990 baggage tags.? To finish in 5 mins? Whats the point of doing the event?
As I said, I have now different goals - e.g. right now to fly 250 Jumbo flights in a week so that I can 3* a Jumbo alliance task destination in 4 weeks (given that I get the respective destination available). To be able to do this I would like not to be disturbed to collect under pressure event items - I would prefer to have the event items handy to just finish the event and to be able to fly higher number of flights to 3* the even destinations for higher plane types.
And exactly the baggage tags and air magnetometers are (in my opinion) wrong example. My goal during the Rock the Sky event will be to 3* all destinations for planes, which I am flying. It means for sure 400 Falcon flights and depends on how I'll advance in the game perhaps 500 Thunderbird flights. So it means I will have to fly 400 (perhaps 900) flights compared to 250-300 flights 2 years ago (TP to P Delta) or 270 flights last year (Jumbo and Giant). In case of events I am trying to 3* the destinations for the active planes, and still I have at least two years to achieve my goals (i.e. to 3* everything up to and incl. Condor) and only in the case that GI does not introduce new levels and new planes. Same applies to It came from Outer Space event (should GI introduces new event destinations there).


It's a glamorous state that you can easily visit in 2 days (a good place for a city break).
Here are a few photos we took… Hope you like it!
