Halloween 2021 IF, Interactive Fiction
Halloween I.F – "That Which Lingers" – Day 17
[ Please read the kickoff post before commenting! ]
Webb took a seat in front of the fire next to Ariadne, stretching their legs out and resting their weight back on their hands. "Thanks," they said. "It doesn't surprise me that Faraday takes forever in the shower. I've seen that hair."
Ariadne laughed. "I like to be supportive, especially because I do enjoy looking at him."
"Fair enough," Webb said agreeably. They let out a sigh after a moment, watching the fire rather than Ariadne, feeling the light heat on their face. "He's… he's an alright guy."
"You two… seemed like you got off the wrong foot, a little," Ariadne said hesitantly. "Though, I suppose—it's been a bit of a stressful night for all of us."
Webb's lips twisted in a wry grin. "You noticed me barking at him all night, you mean. It's alright. I… he just stirred up some memories of someone I didn't want to think about, and I have, understandably I think, not been at my best tonight. It's nothing personal."
Ariadne exhaled. "Ah… that can be tough, I know. I'm… I mean, that doesn't sound fun, but I'm glad it wasn't anything more personal. He can be stubborn, and vain, and kind of cocky at times, but he really is the kindest, most wonderful person…"
Webb rolled their eyes, making a face and nudging her in the side. "You don't need to sing his praises," they complained. "I'm too single and stressed out to handle it. You two are fine. You're remarkably good, beautiful people. The type that stories are written about. Adventurous romances with heaving bosoms and great hair. He's a romance cover Fabio."
Ariadne let out an indignant, hysterical giggle. "No!" she gasped, horrified.
Webb glanced over at her, grinning widely at the expression on her face. "Feel the power of his passion! Experience unforgettable ecstasy in his arms! With one look, he ignites the fire in your—!"
Ariadne grabbed a couch cushion and smacked them with it, still laughing. Webb joined in, sprawling backwards, letting her continue to weakly smush it onto their face. "Nooo," Ariadne groaned. Then: "Wait, were those real taglines? How did you know those?"
Webb grabbed the pillow and swung it back, using it to prop up their head instead. "Such violence," they sighed. "And then unfounded accusations…"
Ariadne rolled her eyes. She had a nice expression on her face, Webb thought—more relaxed, now, that little worry line vanished from between her brows. Without thinking, they reached up to lightly tug at her hair, earning a surprised blink in response.
"Webb?" she asked uncertainly, looking down at them.
Webb hadn't thought that far in advance. They stared back at her, then dropped their hand again, turning over onto their side. "You'd seemed a bit… troubled, before I came to sit down. What's… I mean, obviously there's a lot on your mind, and I imagine I know the worst of it, but if there's anything I can help with…"
Ariadne's expression softened. "Oh. That's… very nice of you."
"I need you focused and in proper form so we don't all die horribly at the hands of vampires or sword-wielding phantoms," Webb muttered. "My niceness has nothing to do with it."
"Uh huh." Ariadne grabbed another pillow and flopped down beside Webb. "That's true. I'm so sorry I accused you of altruistic intentions."
"Well. Just don't do it again."
Ariadne laughed. It was a pleasant sound, light and airy, like it surprised her every time she felt that happiness bubble up. She sobered again after a moment. "I'm… fine. I feel like maybe to you it's come across like I'm a woman with a plan, here to drag you into my noble and self-sacrificing quest, but I'm honestly just… a big scared idiot that tumbled into this by accident."
"You could have just stayed out of it," Webb pointed out. "Let me get apprehended by the Inquisitors, left me to my fate. Let the vampire clans sort out their own shit. You've clearly had a good thing going with Fabio for a while. Why risk it?"
Ariadne twitched a bit at the nickname, but managed to stay focused, which Webb found honestly impressive in its own way. "I could have," she agreed quietly. "But I've still got quite a few years ahead of me, and that's a very long time to have to live with being a coward."
Webb whistled softly, draping one arm over their eyes. "Some of us manage," they said lightly. "But yeah, I'm aware that's a common sentiment."
Ariadne was quiet for a moment. "Yeah," she said eventually. "Anyway, I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a hero or anything, but… I'm going to do my best to keep you safe. And to do something about Grimm before more people get hurt."
"I don't need…" Webb started, then just trailed off uselessly. Who were they kidding? Of course they needed protection. They always had. "… I mean. I appreciate it. Try not to do anything stupid. I don't want any of you getting hurt."
They jumped a little when they felt Ariadne tangle her icy cold fingers with Webb's, giving their hand a squeeze. They moved their other arm so they could peek at her with one baleful eye. She was leaning close, her eyes bright, one fang lightly indenting her full lower lip.
"I am so good at doing stupid things," she said earnestly. "But I'm willing to do my best. For you."
"Fuck," Webb gasped. "Those are so cold. You were holding tea, under a blanket, in front of a fire, are you fucking Elsa? Please actually do let it go."
Ariadne let out a flustered noise, tugging her hand back. "Sorry! I'm—"
Webb dragged both of their hands down their face, already internally chiding themself for their impending decision, and rolled over to look down at Ariadne. "I said literally thirty seconds ago that I needed you in good shape to protect me from ravenous vampire hordes who have a specific bone to pick with me. You're hungry, right?"
Ariadne's eyes widened. "I… am running a little, a little light… I'm sure I can pick up, um, you can get blood from some of the corner stores, in little packages like a Capri Sun, I can just—" she rambled, looking flustered.
"And they probably taste like the equivalent of getting one of those horrible prepackaged cold hamburgers," Webb said impatiently. "Also, who knows what's in those? Besides," they added, looking her over, raising an eyebrow. "You haven't exactly been subtle."
Ariadne whined, covering her face with both hands and stomping her feet against the rug. "You smelled good before only then you took a bath and now you smell like a cupcake!" she wailed softly.
Webb stared down at her for a long moment, then abruptly burst out laughing, collapsing back down, half on the pillow and half on top of Ariadne. They heard her let out a surprised little oof, before she started to tremble, then helplessly start to laugh as well.
"… okay," she gasped after a moment. "Okay, okay. If you don't mind—I won't take a lot. I don't want you being too out of it later, either." She shifted slightly, hand skating lightly up Webb's arm, touching at their jaw. They felt an impulsive desire to pull away, but forced themself to relax, letting out a heavy breath and trying to make themself more comfortable.
"I can promise you that this is not the first time that I've let someone bite me," Webb said dryly, which was completely true. But this was the first time that it was with someone they actually planned to continue having some sort of meaningful interaction with afterwards, which had to be why they felt a little strange about it, their stomach fluttering, their heart beating a little faster.
Ariadne, of course, would have to have noticed that. She swallowed, licking her lips. Her expression was more focused now, her ruby red eyes heavy-lidded as she eased Webb back, leaning over them, her pale hair sliding down like a curtain on either side of their faces. For a wild moment, Webb imagined closing the distance and kissing her; had to force their hands to grip the carpet to keep them from sliding down her waist.
She tilted Webb's chin up with two fingers, leaned down, and pressed her lips lightly against Webb's neck, letting out a warm gust of breath. Webb felt their heart hammering, their breath catching in their throat. They heard the crackle of the fire and breathed in the scent of Ariadne's hair, sweet and freshly-washed.
"Are you nervous?" Ariadne whispered. "Should I stop?"

Don't stop!!!!
also wow I can't compare you compared her to elsa when you're the one who was like conceal, don't feel, you gremlin.
Diana (@xoloitzcuintle)
RIGHT??!!
oh please as if you can think about anything but how dreamy Ariadne is right now. Dumb seduced bitch mode just overtakes.
Of course you don't want her to stop. Maybe put your arms around her to encourage her.
And I'm really curious who Faraday reminded you of.
t a
Stopping her now would literally be making Ariadne do the traumatized cupcake dog meme. Tell her this so you can both continue laughing about it and not worrying about which base it is, emotional intimacy wise.
Unfortunate that Faraday is showering, otherwise Webb could be getting sucked by two people 🙁
Tell her to lick the frosting from the cupcake

READING, Pa. – The SUNY Poly women's volleyball team traveled to Pennsylvania this past weekend for the third of four NEAC Crossover weekends of the 2016 season. The Wildcats went 3-0 with wins over Lancaster Bible, Penn College, and Penn State Berks.
Friday's match saw the Wildcats take down Lancaster Bible in four sets 25-16, 23-25, 25-23, 26-24. The Wildcats came out of the gate with a big set one win over the Chargers hitting .321 to Lancaster's -.032. The next three sets were closely contested between the two teams. The Wildcats would drop set two, but would battle to win sets three and four to take the win. The Wildcats senior hitters led their squad to victory. Ryenn Smith (Lyons, N.Y.) had a match high 19 kills and hit .265 on 49 attempts. Smith also had a team high 14 digs and a service ace in the match. Emma Larson (Miller Place, N.Y.) hit a team high .289 in the match. The senior had 17 kills, two service aces, and nine digs. SUNY Poly Setter Sydney Johnson (Nine Mile Falls, W.A.) set her season high assists mark in the match with 44, surpassing her earlier high of 43.
On Saturday the Wildcats faced off with Penn College for the first of two matches. SUNY Poly won in four sets again, this time by a larger point margin; 25-12, 25-13, 26-24, 25-15. Ryenn Smith led the Wildcats with a match high 15 kills on 35 attempts for a hitting percentage of .343. Emma Larson and Melissa Krak (Canastota, N.Y.) added 11 and 10 kills to the cause respectively. Larson had nine digs and an ace, Krak had 10 digs and two aces. Sydney Johnson again had 40+ assists in the match. She finished the match with 41 assists, 10 digs, and a service ace.
The Wildcats beat Penn State Berks 3-0 in the third match of the weekend 25-21, 25-23, 25-15. Emma Larson had a monster match. Larson lead all players in kills (14), hitting percentage (.462), service aces (5), and digs (16). Melissa Krak also had a solid match. She recorded 13 kills on 38 swings and had a service ace and three digs. Lauren Knowles (Washingtonville, N.Y.) had a good day at the net recording a solo block and two block assists.
The Wildcats are now 13-6 overall and 9-1 in the NEAC which is good for first place. The team will be back in action on Tuesday when they will take the short trip across town to take on Utica College. The match is scheduled for a 7:00 PM start. Live video will be available for the match.


The Cloud Gate, also called simply "The Bean", weighs over 110 tons, is 66 feet long and 33 feet high and made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together. The amazing sculpture has the appearance of a giant drop of liquid mercury. Its surface features spectacular images of the Chicago's skyline. Being very concave, the bottom of the sculpture creates a spectacular fun mirror effect of the people who walk underneath it.
Fascinating piece of artwork that allows to playfully take pictures at different angles and get amazing backgrounds in your pictures.
Visit on a sunny day for better photos. Note that on a rainy day if there's a thunderstorm, you won't even be allowed near the statue as it poses a risk of electrocution!

Instagram to 'Double Down' on Video in 2022, Prioritize Reels and Creators
Anete Lusina
Instagram head Adam Mosseri has revealed that the social media platform will put an even bigger focus on its video features, such as Reels, in 2022. There will also be a focus on improving the app's messaging service, monetized content creator tools, and transparency.
Instagram's Move Away from Photos in 2021
2021 marked a pivotal shift in Instagram's evolution after it was revealed the popular social media platform will move away from being a photography platform — Mosseri made waves in July when he stated that Instagram was "no longer a photo-sharing app."
Instead, Instagram began to embrace video features and started exploring different business tools for influencers and brands, such as paid creator subscriptions, link stickers available to everyone, influencer affiliate shops, and more.
Instagram's Focus Moving Into 2022
In a new video published to Twitter, Mosseri discussed the direction Instagram aims to take in the new year, noting that much of 2021 was already spent focusing on the app's video formats and features, and on giving users more control over the content they consume and over the interactions with other users. For example, Instagram launched its "Sensitive Content Control" feature and allowed users to disable likes on posts to enhance the experience on the app.
2022 Priorities 📝
This next year is going to be pivotal for Instagram. In addition to our industry-leading safety and wellbeing efforts, we're focused on these four key priorities.
Hope you're all able to get some rest over the holidays. See you in the New Year! ✌🏼 pic.twitter.com/iY8uQ1EnMZ
— Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) December 28, 2021
Going forward, Mosseri says the app's 2022 priorities begin with rethinking "what Instagram is" in the fast-paced modern world that constantly changes. As part of this, one of the major focuses in the next year includes continuing the development of video features, particularly centered around Reels. The app put the plan in motion already during 2021 as it tried to attract video content creators through various paid incentives.
Instagram also plans to target its messaging service in 2022. As the primary way for people to connect online, Mosseri adds that Instagram could be "the best place for people to connect with their friends about their interests."
The app is further working to give user controls and transparency to shape how the app works for them — in the form of various privacy and safety controls, for example.
Lastly, Instagram is prioritizing influencers and other creators who make money on the platform. Mosseri says the app will introduce a number of new products that will allow creators to monetize their efforts on Instagram.

Abstract. In this study, three documented spatiotemporal data fusion models were applied to Landsat-7 and MODIS surface reflectance, and NDVI. The algorithms included the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (STARFM), sparse representation based on a spatiotemporal reflectance fusion model (SPSTFM), and spatiotemporal image-fusion model (STI-FM). The objectives of this study were to (i) compare the performance of these three fusion models using a one Landsat-MODIS spectral reflectance image pairs using time-series datasets from the Coleambally irrigation area in Australia, and (ii) quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of the synthetic images generated from each fusion model using statistical measurements. Results showed that the three fusion models predicted the synthetic Landsat-7 image with adequate agreements. The STI-FM produced more accurate reconstructions of both Landsat-7 spectral bands and NDVI. Furthermore, it produced surface reflectance images having the highest correlation with the actual Landsat-7 images. This study indicated that STI-FM would be more suitable for spatiotemporal data fusion applications such as vegetation monitoring, drought monitoring, and evapotranspiration.

No 'no-go' zones? No matter. Lynn, Ketron have plan
File this under ultra-preventative measures. State Rep. Susan Lynn and state Sen. Bill Ketron admit they've never seen a "no-go zone" in Tennessee. Yet they are sponsoring legislation enabling the state attorney general to investigate such areas where people and public workers are being systematically intimidated or excluded, report it to the Department of Justice and, ultimately, eliminate such zones to comply with state and federal law.

Nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert test this Sunday
This Sunday, 24 November, more than half of New Zealand's cell phones are expected to let off a loud, penetrating noise, marking the third annual nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert system test.
Hawke's Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Manager Ian Macdonald said everyone should expect to receive a test alert that evening sometime between 6pm and 7 pm.
"The alerts are sent using cell broadcast technology, so there is no need to sign up to a text alert or download an app," Mr Macdonald said.
Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by authorised emergency agencies to capable mobile phones.
They can be targeted to areas affected by serious hazards and will only be sent when there is a serious threat to life, health or property, and for test purposes.
Mr Macdonald said more than 4 million cell phones in New Zealand are now expected to be capable of receiving an Emergency Mobile Alert message.
"That means that even if your own phone isn't one of them, you'll probably be near someone who does receive an alert," Mr Macdonald said.
"We expect this number to increase over time as more people upgrade their phones."
Mr Macdonald said Emergency Mobile Alert is an additional channel to help keep New Zealanders safe in an emergency and did not replace other information channels such as radio, websites and social media, or the need to take action after natural warnings.
"Fast and reliable information is crucial when emergencies strike and Emergency Mobile Alert is another vital information channel for alerting people if their life, health or property is in danger," Mr Macdonald said.
"However, no form of technology is completely failsafe, so it doesn't replace other alerting channels such as radio or social media, or the need to act upon natural warning signs."
If you feel your life may be in danger, don't wait for an official warning – take immediate action, he said.
"For example, in local-source tsunami, there will not be time to send an alert before the first waves strike.
"Please recognise the natural warnings and get safe – if an earthquake is long or strong, get gone."
Mr Maconald said the annual nationwide test would help ensure the system works effectively, while familiarising people with what to expect and how it works.
"This is just a test, but when emergencies happen, Emergency Mobile Alert will be a vital channel to help keep our communities safe."
The alert messages can only be sent by the Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management, regional Civil Defence Emergency Management groups, New Zealand Police, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Primary Industries.

Guns and Critical Race Theory Will Be Hot Topics for the General Assembly
Editor's Note: The Georgia legislature gaveled in for its annual 40-day session on Jan. 10. Here's a look at some issues they're likely to tackle from georgiarecorder.com . Teachers and administrators from across the state agree critical race theory is not discussed in Georgia grade school classrooms, but it likely will be a hot topic in January as lawmakers return for an election-year legislative session. But with restrictions on schools teaching about racism and other cultural issues dominating the discussion before the session begins, some worry more pressing problems like school funding could get short shrift. Critical race theory, a term for a legal framework developed in the 1970s defining racism as arising from social forces rather than individual prejudice, has become a catch-all for instruction that acknowledges racist structures in American history like redlining and Jim Crow. Opponents argue focusing on these issues and tying them to modern problems weighing on racial minorities is divisive and paints people as oppressors or victims based on their race. According to Google Trends, searches for critical race theory were mostly flat from when tracking began in 2004 until last May, when internet interest spiked. That's about the same time parents started showing up to school board meetings across the state to demand an end to so-called critical race theory lessons. During a May Cherokee County school board meeting, state Rep. Brad Thomas, a Republican from Holly Springs, said he had already started writing a bill to ban critical race theory in […]

The Residential Property Value Premium of the Proximity to Carsharing and Bikesharing Services: Evidence from New York City

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Property Values -- Market analysis
While significant existing scholarship has confirmed that accessibility to "macro" transportation systems, such as transit, creates some value for real estate, few studies have examined the capitalized effect of "micro" transportation modes on property values. Even, despite the increased ridership and market shares of carsharing and bikesharing services, empirical evidence on its property value capitalization effects of the emerging transportation services remains far less limited. In this context, this research examines the residential value uplift induced from the proximity to carsharing (Zipcar) and bikesharing (CitiBike) services in New York City by employing Spatial Durbin Models with sales transaction data that are reported in the New York City Department of Finance in 2018. The results indicate that all else equal, single-family housing near CitiBike station sold at higher prices; a 10 percent decrease in distance was associated with a 4.1 percent increase in its value. The proximity to Zipcar and CitiBike services were positively valued in the multi-family housing market. Specifically, a 10 percent decrease in distance was associated with a 1.1 and 3.5 percent increase in the value of the housing, respectively.

Teacher arraigned in court; to answer murder charges for allegedly beating a form 2 boy to death
Handcuffs used to restrain suspects from escaping during arrests by police
A Secondary school teacher was on Tuesday, 6th March 2019, presented in a Bungoma court for allegedly beating a student to death. The teacher, Mr Crispinus Wabwile Wanyonyi, faces murder charges after beating a form two boy at his station to death for failing to complete a class assignment he had given him.
Mr Wanyonyi, a teacher at Bishop Adudo Boys in Bungoma, was presented before Bungoma Senior Magistrate, Mutai, to answer the murder allegations. Corporal punishment was banned in schools.
The prosecutor requested judge Mutai for more time to continue keeping Mr Wanyonyi in custody as more investigations are carried out.
The prosecutor told the court that the teacher beat up the Form 2 boy on 5th February, 2019 resulting to him sustaining serious head injuries. The boy then fell sick prompting the school Principal to send him home for medication.
The boy's parents then took him to the Bungoma West Hospital where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for about two weeks.
Unfortunately, the boy died on 3rd March, 2019 while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Mr Wanyonyi is also a Sports Secretary in Bumula Urban, Bungoma County.

Samsung Galaxy S8 wont be another Note 7 – here's why
Eric Abent - Mar 31, 2017, 12:39pm CDT
The Galaxy S8 is certainly an impressive device, but most of us probably have a voice at the back of our heads asking if this will be another Galaxy Note 7. What was initially reviewed as one of the best Android phones of the year quickly became a hazardous device to own, thanks to a number of battery defects. How is Samsung making sure that the Galaxy S8 won't suffer the same fate?
According to a new write-up by CNET, Samsung is determined to prevent a Note 7 repeat, and it's working toward that goal by implementing more stringent testing this time around. The Galaxy S8's batteries are being put through a gauntlet of eight different tests, with Samsung attempting to put the phone through everything from compression to temperature to accelerated usage.
One of the keys about this revamped focus on safety is that Samsung is taking the reins on these tests. For the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung allowed its suppliers to do the testing, but in an effort to prevent a repeat, it's largely handling testing itself. This allows Samsung to make doubly sure that everything about the Galaxy S8 is up to safety standards before the devices ship.
READ MORE: Galaxy S8 Hands-On Beyond taking safety testing into its own hands, Samsung is also taking precautions with the batteries themselves. There's no significant increase in capacity this time around and instead, as CNET points out, the Galaxy S8 will actually feature a lower capacity battery than the Galaxy S7. That shouldn't cause too much of an issue though, as Samsung says that more advanced power management tools will result in similar – if not better – battery life.
One thing to note is that Samsung has put a lot of effort into making sure that capacity is more constant, meaning that it won't decrease as rapidly as you subject your Galaxy S8 to more and more recharge cycles. That should come as a welcome relief, as batteries losing capacity can often be the bottleneck that prevents people from using phones for years on end.
We'll see if Samsung's hands-on approach to battery testing prevents a Note 7 repeat – and if Samsung's claims about battery life are true – when the phone launches next month. Will you be picking one up? Head down to the comments section and let us know!

A middle-aged woman, Mbatumun Oseh, has lost her three-month-old baby after a stranger offered to help her carry the child during a church service in Benue State.
At St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Anyiin, in Logo Local Government Area of the state, Oseh handed over her child to an unknown woman who approached her and offered to help her hold the baby to avoid being pushed down by other members of the church during the praise worship session.
It was gathered that Oseh obliged and asked one of her children to sit close to the woman at the back of the church while the service continued. However, the woman allegedly sent the older child to a nearby shop to buy her sachet water, but before the girl came back, the woman had disappeared with the baby.
The little girl raised alarm that attracted church members, who searched the entire premises, but the baby and the woman could not be found.
The parish priest of the church, Bernard Achuku, said the entire parishioners were shocked by the incident, adding that efforts were on to locate the woman and the missing baby. He said the matter has been reported to the police authorities.

Beauty regulation is a misnomer. The FDA (Meals, Drug, and Beauty Act) was created in 1938 and is the designated authorities company that ought to management the Beauty Trade in addition to the Meals and Drug Industries. Nonetheless, though it does a good job in meals and medicines, it nearly has turned its again on cosmetics and permits it to control itself.
Cosmetics have a really wealthy historical past and from the time of the Egyptians to present day the obsession for truthful, lovely pores and skin has helped this business to develop and prosper to over 50 billion yearly. The Beauty Trade, in all nations, is managed by authorities our bodies and companies. These companies presumably are in place for the aim of protecting a tab on the standard of beauty merchandise which can be being produced. Beauty regulation of private care merchandise which can be produced is the first accountability of those our bodies. Due to this fact, in idea at finest, US beauty laws for private care merchandise rests with the FDA.
The query turns into is the FDA really regulating or governing the Beauty Trade?.
The laws framed below the FDA are fairly much like different nations however there are specific distinctive options. Although one of many FDA's features is to manage the Beauty Trade, it offers extra emphasis on the regulation of meals and medicines. For medicine which can be manufactured within the US, previous to their launch into the market, they may require the mandatory certification from the FDA. Nonetheless, as a result of private care merchandise are usually not thought-about to be meals or medicine, they require no prior certification by the FDA or another governing physique earlier than they're launched into . Actually, the FDA depends solely on the discretion of the beauty corporations to find out the protection of merchandise marketed to customers. If the beauty firm says their new product is protected, it's allowed to go to market with none pre-market testing. Due to this fact, in impact, beauty regulation is left as much as the beauty corporations and thus, is a self-regulating business.
In line with the FDA there are particular definitions for cosmetics and medicines and one should first undergo them to grasp the nice distinction that exists. Cosmetics are the articles which can be sprinkled, poured, utilized or rubbed on the physique to scrub, promote, beautify and even alter one's look. A number of the merchandise that fall below this class are perfumes, hair colours, toothpastes, lipsticks, eye and facial make-up, shampoos, fingernail polishes, pores and skin moisturizers, everlasting waves, and deodorants. This even contains the elements which may be used as a element to fabricate the beauty merchandise Amazon listing B075QVPYXV.
Concerning these elements used within the manufacture of private care merchandise, there's one other act generally known as The Substances Management Act of 1976. This act grandfathered in 62,000 chemical compounds in existence as much as 1976. Of all new chemical compounds submitted for approval, their document signifies that over 80% are permitted inside three weeks and solely 5 chemical compounds are recognized to have been restricted or banned. It must also be made recognized that no pre-testing on animals and/or people is required earlier than submitting a chemical for approval. In the meantime, in Europe, the European Union has banned over 1100 poisonous elements used within the manufacture of beauty merchandise. Now, with this in thoughts, let's apply this information to the FDA and its management, or the dearth thereof, relative to the Beauty Trade.

Q: Apscheduler get_jobs() returns empty list Been struggling with this for a while. I have my apscheduler set up with Flask on AWS server with UWSGI. Everything seems to work fine except i cant get a list of scheduled jobs from scheduler.get_jobs(). Also tried scheduler.print_jobs() with the result of "none". Here is the code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler(daemon=True)
scheduler.start()

I have one app.route to start the periodic task and then another route to show the scheduled routes. My periodic task starts fine and does what it needs to do (updates my google spreadsheets file) at the right interval.
#schedules the job but returns "None"
@app.route("/runscheduler")
def runscheduler():
    with app.app_context():
        job = scheduler.add_job(get_balance, 'interval', seconds=120, id="sfvs")
        return str(scheduler.print_jobs())

I tried to create a route that would return scheduler.get_jobs() but that returns an empy list
@app.route("/schedule")
def schedule():
    return str(scheduler.get_jobs())

Last thing i tried is to get the job info by id in my home route and that actually returns all of the right info:
@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return str(scheduler.get_job("sfvs"))

returns: get_balance (trigger: interval[0:02:00], next run at: 2021-02-21 03:39:17 UTC)
So my question why cant my code show the list of scheduled jobs (neither scheduler.get_jobs() or scheduler.print_jobs()) but i can still get all of the details of my job by accessing it by id? And on top of all of that the job still executes perfectly fine at the right intervals.

Q: Fake space between First and Last Name in excel I have a spreadsheet that I have imported from one of our sites that we use for User Access.  I am having trouble in the formatting of the spreadsheet in order to make it searchable and to use VLOOKUP.  In the Full Name column, the first and last name look like they are separated by a space " " but it does not work that way when I try to split them into First Name and Last Name columns.  It is almost like it is a fake space.  I have tried many ways to make it a true space between the words but nothing has worked and none of my researching to find a solution to this problem has been found.  Can anyone help me with figuring this out so I don't have to continue to delete the "fake space" and add a real space between the words?
Any help is much appreciated.

A: These are non-breaking spaces. I am guessing that this data is coming from an HTML source.
You can get your formulas to work by changing " " to CHAR(160), which will return the non-breaking space (ASCII code 160).

Immortals destroy TSM, take home their second win of the 2020 LCS Summer Split
The North American race for playoffs has become a lot more confusing.
Tyler Esguerra
If you were struggling to rank the LCS' current teams this season, then Immortals' dominant victory over TSM this past weekend will make it even more difficult to judge how the summer will turn out.
Throughout the 38-minute match, Immortals were constantly on the front foot compared to TSM. The star-studded League of Legends roster made multiple unforced errors that gave Immortals an easy lead to capitalize and snowball from. Whether it was Doublelift and Biofrost getting caught out in the bottom lane or Spica overextending, the team was performing at an unusually bad rate.
We take the W against @TSM to close out our Week 5 🥳
We'll be back next week against @GoldenGuardians and @clgaming
#WeAreIMT // #IMTWIN pic.twitter.com/6Ph8T9iuV9
— Immortals (@Immortals) July 12, 2020
Meanwhile, Immortals stayed patient and knew exactly how to push their lead forward whenever they were given the chance. TSM didn't contest many objectives in the match, allowing Xmithie and company to capture every dragon except the Elder, both Rift Heralds, and a Baron buff.
As North American caster Isaac "Azael" Cummings-Bentley said during the broadcast, games like this make it hard to set a definite power ranking for the LCS, since most top teams—save for Cloud9—have lost to lower-ranked teams in the regular season standings.
TSM were considered by many people as the second-best team in the league, having won their last four games. Unfortunately for fans of the roster, TSM flubbed up and lost back-to-back games this past week, with one being against a team with a 1-8 record.
#IMTWIN! Despite a close ending, @Immortals close out the game against @TSM for their second win of the Split! #LCS

Immortals, on the other hand, have impressed many people with their recent performances. Although they haven't won many games, they've shown quick flashes of brilliance against a couple of the best teams in the league. They did lose against Dignitas, which dropped their stock a bit with fans and analysts, but a win against TSM should reignite some faith in the LCS fanbase.
Next week, Immortals will look to continue their winning ways against Golden Guardians and Counter Logic Gaming. Catch all the action when the LCS returns on Friday, July 17.

RNA-binding protein recognition based on multi-view deep feature and multi-label learning
Haitao Yang, Zhaohong Deng, Xiaoyong Pan, Hong Bin Shen, Kup Sze Choi, Lei Wang, Shitong Wang, Jing Wu
RNA-binding protein (RBP) is a class of proteins that bind to and accompany RNAs in regulating biological processes. An RBP may have multiple target RNAs, and its aberrant expression can cause multiple diseases. Methods have been designed to predict whether a specific RBP can bind to an RNA and the position of the binding site using binary classification model. However, most of the existing methods do not take into account the binding similarity and correlation between different RBPs. While methods employing multiple labels and Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM) are proposed to consider binding similarity between different RBPs, the accuracy remains low due to insufficient feature learning and multi-label learning on RNA sequences. In response to this challenge, the concept of RNA-RBP Binding Network (RRBN) is proposed in this paper to provide theoretical support for multi-label learning to identify RBPs that can bind to RNAs. It is experimentally shown that the RRBN information can significantly improve the prediction of unknown RNA-RBP interactions. To further improve the prediction accuracy, we present the novel computational method iDeepMV which integrates multi-view deep learning technology under the multi-label learning framework. iDeepMV first extracts data from the views of amino acid sequence and dipeptide component based on the RNA sequences as the original view. Deep neural network models are then designed for the respective views to perform deep feature learning. The extracted deep features are fed into multi-label classifiers which are trained with the RNA-RBP interaction information for the three views. Finally, a voting mechanism is designed to make comprehensive decision on the results of the multi-label classifiers. Our experimental results show that the prediction performance of iDeepMV, which combines multi-view deep feature learning models with RNA-RBP interaction information, is significantly better than that of the state-of-the-art methods. iDeepMV is freely available at http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/iDeepMV for academic use.

Late last year, Volkswagen launched a new video campaign called simply, The Fun Theory. The purpose of the campaign was encourage people create more fun in their world (oh, yes, and in doing so go viral) and communicate "fun" as part of the VW brand. The interesting thing is that the videos focus on fun and how it changes people's behavior. This is a critical point – fun engages and changes behavior (hello, b2b?!).
Only subtly and near the end of the videos do we see the VW logo. B2B marketers could take a page from this approach – focus on fun, without brand peddling. Moreover, the ad INVOLVES the target audience.
Fun definitely changes things for the better. Check out the videos and see for yourself.


Organisers of the French Open in Roland Garros have rejected the idea of giving Maria Sharapova a wildcard entry into the tournament.
The decision today shattered the hope of the Russian for a dream return from doping outcast to contest for a third French Open crown.
The 30-year-old, who conquered all on the Parisian clay in 2012 and 2014 but whose career was rocked by a 15-month doping ban last year, was widely expected to be fast-tracked into the year's second grand slam tournament.
After only returning to the circuit last month, Sharapova's ranking, now at 211, was not high enough to warrant an automatic place into the Roland Garros main draw which starts on May 28, or the qualifying event held the week before.
It meant she needed a favor from the French Tennis Federation (FFT) but in an unexpected development, especially as the French Open is already without pregnant Serena Williams and resting Roger Federer, it took a moral stand that will please some of her rivals but could hit the tournament's TV ratings.
"You can get a wild card when you return from injury but you cannot get a wild card when returning from a doping suspension," FFT president Bernard Giudicelli said during a news conference broadcast live on Facebook.
Giudicelli dropped the bombshell shortly before Sharapova, who tested positive for heart disease drug meldonium at last year's Australian Open, was due to face Croatian veteran Mirjana Lucic-Baroni at the Italian Open in Rome.
The bold decision of the French federation now throws the ball in the court of Wimbledon who will face a similarly difficult decision when they announce their wildcards on June 20. Sharapova, who won Wimbledon in 2004, will need a wildcard to get straight into the main draw at the All England Club.
She could have saved them that dilemma by reaching the semi-finals in Rome to boost her ranking but withdrew injured from her match with Lucic-Baroni to complete a bad night.
At least Sharapova is guaranteed a place in the Wimbledon qualifying event thanks to her first-round win on Monday.
Sharapova stunned the sporting world last year when she stood up in a Los Angeles hotel to say that she had failed a doping test for meldonium — a drug that she said she had 'legally' taken throughout her career to treat medical conditions. Her explanation was that she had not realized it had been added to WADA's banned list a few weeks earlier.
The five-times grand slam champion, one of the sport's biggest names and whose $36 million in prize money is dwarfed by her off-court earnings, was initially banned for two years.
However, after an appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) found she was not an "intentional doper" and reduced the suspension to 15 months.

Ralf Rangnick urges people to 'follow medical advice and get vaccinated'
The Premier League schedule has been hit by a spate of postponements at a time when positive cases are rising across the country.
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has urged people to follow medical advice and get vaccinated against coronavirus.
United's matches against Brentford and Brighton were postponed due to the number of positive Covid-19 tests within the camp, leading to a 16-day break before Monday's 1-1 draw at Newcastle.
Rangnick echoed Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's concern over signing unvaccinated players in the build-up to that match, and underlined his belief that people should be jabbed in his programme notes on Thursday ahead of the home clash with Burnley.
"These are very strange times in which we live, but the most important thing everybody can do is be sensible and follow medical advice to be vaccinated," he said.

"There is never a good time to have our lives impacted in such a way, but it is especially hard during the festive period, at a time when everybody wants to be together.
"I hope that, even if it is not possible to see your loved ones, you are able to have some kind of contact and all help each other get through this.
"We have also had to pull together here at the club because, from a football perspective, it has certainly not been a straightforward period for us.
"I have been here for a month already, but we have hardly had any games and our training has been very heavily affected by positive tests and the temporary closure of Carrington, so it has not been easy to assess everything I need to see and communicate everything I need to say."
