Q: Pandas get value next to a string in a dataframe Ok, so I have a pandas dataframe, but my row indexes are not correct because the dataframe comes from a read_sql_table with as row indexes the number of the row. Like this :
scalars
                                name         value
0                       p_EXPORT_TEELECE -1.187000e+04
1                            MaxCO2Emiss  1.510000e+02
2                              ModelType  2.000000e+00
3                 CO2EmissCostInObjFunct  0.000000e+00
4                  IncludeAdequacyConstr  1.000000e+00
5                  IncludeReservesConstr  1.000000e+00
6                            ESVMAllowed  1.000000e+00
7                          LSESSTAllowed  1.000000e+00

So I'm trying to get the value for MaxCO2Emiss for example. After searching for quite a long time I found a solution to get the value of 151, but I don't think this is the correct way to do it:
maxco2emiss = df.ix[df.index[df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss'].tolist(),1][1]

Is there a more understandable way to get this value?
Thanks

A: Simpliest is create Series and use it for lookup:
s = df.set_index('name')['value']

print (s['MaxCO2Emiss'])
151.0

But if there is multiple same names is necessary for scalar select only first value, e.g. by iat[0], iloc[0], values[0]:
print (df)
                     name    value
0        p_EXPORT_TEELECE -11870.0
1             MaxCO2Emiss    151.0
2               ModelType      2.0
3  CO2EmissCostInObjFunct      0.0
4  CO2EmissCostInObjFunct      1.0
5   IncludeReservesConstr      1.0
6             ESVMAllowed      1.0
7           LSESSTAllowed      1.0

s = df.set_index('name')['value']

print (s['CO2EmissCostInObjFunct'])
CO2EmissCostInObjFunct    0.0
CO2EmissCostInObjFunct    1.0
Name: value, dtype: float64

print (s['CO2EmissCostInObjFunct'].iat[0])
0.0

Another general solution for first value is compare and get first index of first True and then select by loc:
s = df.loc[(df['name'] == 'CO2EmissCostInObjFunct').idxmax(), 'value']
print (s)
0.0

s = df.loc[(df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax(), 'value']
print (s)
151.0

Detail:
print (df['name'] == 'CO2EmissCostInObjFunct')
0    False
1    False
2    False
3     True
4     True
5    False
6    False
7    False
Name: name, dtype: bool

print ((df['name'] == 'CO2EmissCostInObjFunct').idxmax())
3

print (df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss')
0    False
1     True
2    False
3    False
4    False
5    False
6    False
7    False
Name: name, dtype: bool

print ((df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax())
1

EDIT: If want return one row DataFrame add []:
For multiple columns:
df1 = df.loc[[(df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax()], ['value1','value2']]
print (df1)
   value1  value2
1   151.0       7

For all columns:
df2 = df.loc[[(df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax()]]
print (df2)
          name  value1  value2    a
1  MaxCO2Emiss   151.0       7  5.0

If want return Series:
s1 = df.loc[(df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax(),  ['value1','value2']]
print (s1)
value1    151
value2      7
Name: 1, dtype: object

s2 = df.loc[(df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss').idxmax()]
print (s2)
name      MaxCO2Emiss
value1            151
value2              7
a                   5
Name: 1, dtype: object

A: Generator
Possibly the fastest method is to bypass pandas for this:
next(j for i, j in zip(df.name, df.value) if i == 'MaxCO2Emiss')

Pandas
pd.DataFrame.loc is designed for label-based indexing. This will return a series, so it will also work for multiple matches:
df.loc[df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss', 'value']

For example, to get the first value you can index the series you can either use .iloc or .values:
df.loc[df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss', 'value'].iloc[0]
df.loc[df['name'] == 'MaxCO2Emiss', 'value'].values[0]


The treatment principle of kidney failure is to keep a stable environment in body and protect the rest kidney tissues so as to delay the development of kidney failure and prolong patients' life. To achieve this aim, what should kidney failure patients do themselves?
The most important for kidney failure patients is to find a proper treatment and make a well cooperation with doctors. They should also reduce their works to avoid too tired. Kidney patients should avoid cold, because it can cause cold, this is very dangerous. What's more, nephrotoxic drugs should be forbidden. And taking a regular medical test in hospital.
Kidney failure patients should take a low protein diet. Adults can take about 20g to 35g per day. Kidney patients can take some high quality protein that are rich in essential amino acids. They can take some fish, chicken, lean meat, egg white, milk, and so on. Foods that are easy to be digested would be better for patients and have enough vitamin so as to make up calories needed by patients.
Many symptom can make kidney failure become much worse, such as infection, diarrhea, vomiting, cold, and so on. All these problems can deteriorate the disease and bring more damage on kidney. Control these predisposing factor can make the illness condition become much better and delay the development of kidney failure. In the meantime. Patients should also pay more attention to some complications of kidney failure. For example, high blood pressure, heart failure. And so on.
A healthy lifestyle is very important for kidney failure patients. Except for an effective medical treatment, they should also make a good care for the disease. In this way, the kidney problem can be controlled well and patients can live in a happy and healthy life. If you have any problems about kidney failure, please leave a message below or chat with our online doctor straightly. Yu can also send mails to pkdtreatment169@gmail.com, once you asked, a warmly reply and a satisfied answer will come to you at once.

Peat and quiet
Posted on August 16, 2013 by Andrew Collins
I demand silence from a cinema audience. Within reason, of course. But I despise the rustling of sweet wrappers or crisp bags, don't get me started on popcorn, and I think talking goes without saying: it's the original sin. Bravo, then, for Silence. A languid, organic hybrid of drama and documentary from Harvest Films, its very title warns off the noisy and the disrespectful. Even the briefest synopsis supports your first impression: it's about a sound recordist who returns to the northwest coast of Ireland to capture the sound of silence ie. that of nature unmolested by man-made noise. Do not enter the cinema if you think your stomach may rumble, or that you may nod off and snuffle. It's quiet. Maybe too quiet.
Co-written and directed by Pat Collins (a documentarian by trade), Silence is not action-packed, nor punctuated with pithy quips. Eoghan MacGiolla Bhríde seems to play himself, an Irish soundman based in Berlin who gets a job that takes him back to the homeland, there to revisit his own past on the remote fishing island with the unfortunate name of Tory. It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a hymn to the natural beauty of Ireland, in particular County Donegal, although it begins in County Galway, which happens to be the county I'm most familiar with, and which, to be childish, is my favourite. (I fell in love with Ireland the moment I stepped foot in it, and have returned there most years over the last 20 to sup from its fountain of weatherbeaten zen. This film called me back. I have never even been to Donegal, even though I have displaced relatives by marriage who hail from there and was speaking to one of them only two weeks ago.)
Silence stands in awe of the landscape, fumbling towards capturing and bottling it, and often places the quietly-spoken, unassuming Eoghan – a dead spit for John Lynch – tiny in the frame. Pat Collins, a native of Cork, understands the relative relationship between man and earth. It's God's country; we just live in it. Eoghan's occasional conversations with locals – who I'm assuming are real people, perhaps nudged into covering certain topics by Eoghan, who co-wrote the film – reveal not just the protagonist's poetic soul, along with his almost pained sense of longing, but also poetry in the most casual of observer. This may be a comment on the literary soul of Ireland, where everyone's a taproom poet; even a pub landlord talks about the folk memory of starlings, and a beardy man who gives Eoghan a room for the night comments, "Whenever you sing a song, the first note comes out of silence."
A bear-like local who approaches our man while he sets up his big furry mic somewhere in the wilds of Connemara, asks what he's doing. Eoghan explains his brief: to escape man-made sound. "But you're here?" he comments, not unreasonably. "I keep very quiet," replies Eoghan, softly. It's a lovely exchange that gets a quiet laugh (or it did when I saw Silence in a hushed matinee with nine other noiseless people yesterday), but also highlights the self-defeating nature of the quest. How does a man make anything without the man-made?
As he nears his heart of darkness – or at least, the house on Tory that he abandoned to the elements ("grass and nettles and briars") 15 years ago – the conversations are no longer in English, but Gaelic, with subtitles. It's easy on the ear, the Irish language, but you don't hear it enough, and the subtitling has been artfully done with a real instinct for the way the Irish phrase things. A lovely chat between Eoghan and an old feller on Tory about the sound of the corncrakes is especially sympathetic: the birds are described as "being here in strength", which I can hear the man saying.
With Irish folk songs cropping up regularly (an old reel-to-reel recording begins the film), there is a musicality to the natural soundtrack too, with much birdsong, and rustling of reeds against the Atlantic wind. Dialogue comes at far apart intervals, and the story, as much as it is, unfolds at its own pace, with no conventional "reveals" or resolution. Black and white archive footage adds depth – including a disturbing sequence in which men and women on a boat seem to deliberately drown a dog (this is old footage, so we can be sure no animals were harmed in the actual making of Silence) – and a longer scene in what must be a real museum on the island of Inishbofin is literally wallpapered with local history.
I could watch this film again, right now. It's restful and evocative and lyrical and gives you room to think. I wondered if my mind might wander, but it only strayed as far as Ireland itself, and made me want to go there – although it'll be too esoteric and slow and lacking in footage of pub bands playing for Americans in green felt top hats for Tourism Ireland. In many ways it's a "keep out" sign.
Here's something I don't normally do, but John Brennan and Éamon Little clearly deserve a credit for their delicate and intelligent work on the sound of Silence. Fans of recording equipment will get something extra from the film, as we often see devices being set up, and, as with The Conversation, a touchstone for all films about sound, it wouldn't work if the sound wasn't conveyed properly. I enjoyed the moment, early on, when Eoghan opens and closes a window repeatedly, muffling then unmuffling the sound of the street below. It is a sort of meta-sonic joke: now you hear it, now you don't.
It won't be showing at your local Odeon, I suspect, but if you're lucky enough to catch it at a smaller cinema, do so. Just eat beforehand.
"… And the last note, when you finish a song, falls back into silence again."

Thunk. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Sorry, that was the sound of feedback. And this is the look of feedback: I saw the tremendous new movie Berberian Sound Studio yesterday and it's all about the audio. Not since The Conversation do I remember seeing so much sound on the screen. Writer-director Peter Strickland has, with his second film, created a hymn to magnetic tape, but shaped it as a period thriller that weaves psychological shocks into an everyday story of recording folk.
Strickland wowed the festival circuit in 2009 with his first film, horse-and-cart revenge thriller Katalin Varga, which I watched on DVD during the Olympics. He funded it with inheritance money, having struggled to get his short films seen previously. Though British, I think he lived and taught in Hungary and Katalin Varga is set and shot in Hungarian-speaking Romania. A labour of love, it's anything but indulgent: spare, slow-moving, modern-yet-ancient and genuinely gripping.
But Berberian Sound Studio is something else entirely.
It's the 1970s; all browns and more browns. Toby Jones is intuitively cast as Gilderoy, a polite, suburban, mummy's-boy sound engineer out of water at an Italian dubbing, foley and effects studio. Having seemingly made his reputation recording the sound for travelogues about his native Dorking, he has been hired by an Argento-like Italian horror director and his severe producer to weave his radiophonic magic on their latest witchcraft slasher, The Equestrian Vortex. If all this sounds a little spoofy, it is, with some spot-on blood-red credits for the movie-within-a-movie. It's a movie about the movies, seeped in nostalgia for a more hands-on, analogue era, when tape spooled and great big, clunky switches were thrown and, in the world of grisly foley, watermelons were hacked up. In the first act, Strickland has plenty of fun with the in-jokes. More seasoned students of Italian giallo cinema will no doubt find even more to enjoy than I did, as, for all the hints of darkness, anxiety and intrigue, it's OK to snigger along as a marrow is adjudged "too watery" to sound like a witch's body falling from a tower and splatting on the ground below, and a seasoned thespian stands in the booth making disgusting noises to convey a goblin who is "dangerously aroused."
It is a dark, ridiculous, eccentric, hermetic world, but an utterly convincing one. Strickland ensures that every footstep on the lino of a sanitised corridor feels real; this film takes tactile to new levels – when a spider gently crawls over Gilderoy's hand, gently blown free, you half-expect to be able to hear its footsteps too. By turning up the mics, just as Gilderoy does, Strickland accentuates every seemingly insignificant click and crunch and hiss. Close-ups of needles and gauges and call sheets infuse this psychological horror movie about horror movies with love for the world it inhabits. Those around Gilderoy often speak in Italian, so that we know what they're saying, via subtitles, but he is an alien landscape, his paranoia building.
I won't go into any story details – even though the trailer, which has been on heavy location at the Curzon for months, gives a lot away – other than to say it's a claustrophobic experience that very rarely ventures outside of the studio. If you hear footsteps on dried leaves, they are as likely to be footsteps on dried leaves in a pit in the studio as, well, dried leaves on the ground. Gilderoy's mother's letters, which Strickland blows up, full-screen, and allows us time to read, offer a glimpse of simple, bucolic Surrey life, and of the shed he usually works in ("room for two people at a time", he says), and the effect is quite profound, even moving.
If you're a cinephile, or someone who, like me, loves the 70s, Berberian Sound Studio has been made for you. But it is so much more than a magic carpet ride for valve-freaks. It is frequently terrifying, without ever showing the depraved Italian film that's being so inventively and mundanely dubbed – it's a case of what you don't see.
This is a film that should be seen and heard. It's not totally conventional, and plays the occasional temporal and narrative trick, but these flourishes are always underpinned by a truly thrilling sense of place. By the end of the film, you'll feel as if you could find your way around Berberian Sound Studios, from the reception desk where Gilderoy's plane ticket waits vainly to be reimbursed, to the mixing room where a taciturn, overall-wearing engineer grimly blanks Gilderoy because he interfered with his faders.
For the record, I really think we should give a ripple of applause to the Sound Department, which numbers around 20 people, from ADR recordist Ruben Aguirre Barba and sound consultant Emanuele Carcone to sound re-recording mixer Doug Cooper and Robert Karlsson, who, according to imdb, is the uncredited Dolby sound consultant (what a mysterious man).
Although it's eerie and sad to see the name of Broadcast singer Trish Keenan, who died last year aged just 42, in the credits, she and James Cargill have supplied a suitably esoteric and period-appropriate soundtrack which stands as a fitting memorial to her. In a film about sound, this is not background music. Broadcast are signed to Warp Records, whose impressive film arm Warp X produced Berberian Sound Studio, with funding from Screen Yorkshire and the old Film Council. One imagines that Peter Strickland will not have to rely on an uncle's inheritance to make feature films any more. This puts him on the map. And not just a map of Dorking and Box Hill.
Ooh, and if you're not lucky enough to live near an arthouse cinema – and I appreciate that not everybody is – you can stream Berberian Sound Studio via Curzon On Demand right now, if you can afford £10 a pop. It's here. (It's a rich archive, too; Katalin Varga is also there.)

Abe mum on Trump's claim of nomination for Nobel Peace Prize.
Tokyo:Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe kept quiet Monday over President Donald Trump's claim that he had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, but praised him and emphasised he did not deny doing so.
Trump's assertion Friday that Abe had nominated him for the honour and sent him a copy of the letter has raised questions and criticism in Japan.
Questioned in parliament, Abe praised Trump for his dealings with North Korea but said, "In light of the Nobel committee's policy of not disclosing recommenders and nominees for 50 years, I decline to comment." Neither the prime minister nor his spokesman denied Trump's comment.
In responding to Tamaki's questions in parliament, Abe lauded Trump for meeting with Kim and working to resolve the crisis over North Korea's nuclear programme and missile tests.
Trump had also addressed Japan's concerns over past abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korea, Abe said, adding "he and the entire White House also actively cooperated in resolving the issue." "I highly praise President Trump's leadership," Abe said.
Trump's claim that Abe had sent him a "beautiful copy" of a letter sent to the Nobel committee could not be immediately verified. Nor could a report Sunday by the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, citing unidentified government sources, that Abe had nominated Trump at the US president's request.
The US is Japan's ally and anchor for national defense and Abe has assiduously cultivated cordial ties with Trump. He was the first foreign leader to meet with Trump after he won the 2016 presidential election.
The two share a love for golf and have teed off together both in Japan and the US.
The deadline each year for Nobel Peace Prize nominations is midnight, January 31. The Nobel committee's website says there are 304 candidates for the 2019 prize, 219 individuals and 85 organisations.
Former US President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, his first year in office, for laying out a U.S. commitment to "seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." Trump complained Friday that Obama was there "for about 15 seconds" before he was awarded the prize.
The Nobel committee chooses the recipient of the prize in early October by a majority vote. The prize is awarded on December 10, in Oslo, Norway.

8.57.1. RHSA-2014:1606 — Moderate: file security and bug fix update
Updated file packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links associated with each description below.
The "file" command is used to identify a particular file according to the type of data contained in the file. The command can identify various file types, including ELF binaries, system libraries, RPM packages, and different graphics formats.
Security Fixes
CVE-2014-0237, CVE-2014-0238, CVE-2014-3479, CVE-2014-3480, CVE-2012-1571
Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the way file parsed certain Composite Document Format (CDF) files. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash file, or an application using file, via a specially crafted CDF file.
CVE-2014-1943, CVE-2014-2270
Two denial of service flaws were found in the way file handled indirect and search rules. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to cause file, or an application using file, to crash or consume an excessive amount of CPU.
Previously, the output of the "file" command contained redundant white spaces. With this update, the new STRING_TRIM flag has been introduced to remove the unnecessary white spaces.
Due to a bug, the "file" command could incorrectly identify an XML document as a LaTex document. The underlying source code has been modified to fix this bug and the command now works as expected.
Previously, the "file" command could not recognize .JPG files and incorrectly labeled them as "Minix filesystem". This bug has been fixed and the command now properly detects .JPG files.
Under certain circumstances, the "file" command incorrectly detected NETpbm files as "x86 boot sector". This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the command now detects NETpbm files as expected.
Previously, the "file" command incorrectly identified ASCII text files as a .PIC image file. With this update, a patch has been provided to address this bug and the command now correctly recognizes ASCII text files.

On 32-bit PowerPC systems, the "from" field was missing from the output of the "file" command. The underlying source code has been modified to fix this bug and "file" output now contains the "from" field as expected.
The "file" command incorrectly detected text files as "RRDTool DB version ool - Round Robin Database Tool". This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the command now correctly detects text files.
Previously, the "file" command supported only version 1 and 2 of the QCOW format. As a consequence, file was unable to detect a "qcow2 compat=1.1" file created on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. With this update, support for QCOW version 3 has been added so that the command now detects such files as expected.
All file users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Narcís Monturiol
Narcís Monturiol i Estarriol (Catalan pronunciation: [nəɾˈsiz muntuɾiˈɔl i əstəriˈɔl]; 28 September 1819 – 6 September 1885) was a Spanish Catalan artist and engineer. He was the inventor of the first air-independent and combustion-engine-driven submarine.

(1819-09-28)28 September 1819
6 September 1885(1885-09-06) (aged 65)
Sant Martí de Provençals (currently Barcelona)
Inventor, engineer, artist, politician
Submarine pioneer. Invented the Ictineo I and Ictineo II.
Monturiol i Estarriol was born in the city of Figueres, Spain. He was the son of a cooper. Monturiol went to high school in Cervera and got a law degree in Modtoles in 1845. He solved the fundamental problems of underwater navigation. In effect, Monturiol invented the first fully functional engine-driven submarine.[1][2]
Monturiol never practiced law, instead turning his talents to writing and publishing, setting up a publishing company in 1846, the same year he married his wife Emilia. He produced a series of journals and pamphlets espousing his radical beliefs in feminism, pacifism, and utopian communism. He also founded the newspaper "La Madre de Familia", in which he promised "to defend women from the tyranny of men" and "La Fraternidad", Spain's first communist newspaper.
Monturiol's friendship with Abdó Terrades led him to join the Republican Party and his circle of friends included such names as musician Josep Anselm Clavé, and engineer and reformist Ildefons Cerdà. Monturiol also became an enthusiastic follower of the utopian thinker and socialist Étienne Cabet; he popularised Cabet's ideas through La Fraternidad and produced a Spanish translation of his novel Voyage en Icarie. A circle formed round La Fraternidad raised enough money for one of them to travel to Cabet's utopian community, Icaria.
Following the revolutions of 1848, one of his publications was suppressed by the government and he was forced into a brief exile in France. When he returned to Barcelona in 1849, the government curtailed his publishing activities, and he turned his attention to science and engineering instead.
A stay in Cadaqués allowed him to observe the dangerous job of coral harvesters where he even witnessed the death of a man who drowned while performing this job. This prompted him to think of submarine navigation and in September 1857 he went back to Barcelona and organized the first commercial society in Catalonia and Spain dedicated to the exploration of submarine navigation with the name of Monturiol, Font, Altadill y Cia. and a capital of 10,000 pesetas.
In 1858 Monturiol presented his project in a scientific thesis, titled The Ictineo or fish-ship. The first dive of his first submarine, Ictineo I, took place in September 1859 in the harbour of Barcelona.
Ictineo I
Main article: Ictineo I
Ictineo I was 7 m (23 ft) long with a beam of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) and draft of 3.5 m (11 ft). Her intended use was to ease the harvest of coral. It is likely she was inspired by the prototype Brandtaucher of Wilhelm Bauer, completed in 1851, as Monturiol studied all the available science of submersibles. Ictineo's prow was equipped with a set of tools suited to the harvest of coral. During the summer of 1859, Monturiol performed more than 20 dives in Ictineo, with his business partner and shipbuilder as crew. Ictineo I possessed good handling, but her top speed was disappointing, as it was limited by the power of human muscles.
The technical success of this submersible created popular enthusiasm but no support from the government. As a result, Monturiol wrote a "letter to the nation", asking the people of Spain to support his project. The fund raising was a great success, bringing in 300,000 pesetas from the people of Spain and Cuba.
Ictineo I was eventually destroyed by accident in January 1862, after completing some fifty dives, when a cargo vessel ran into her at her berth. With the money obtained from the subscription, the company La Navegación Submarina was formed with the objective of developing Ictineo II.
A modern replica of Ictineo I stands in the garden entrance to the Marine Museum in Barcelona.
Ictineo II
Main article: Ictineo II
An improved version of Ictineo I, Ictineo II was launched on 2 October 1864. Ictineo II made her maiden voyage under human power on 20 May 1865, submerging to a depth of 30 metres (98 ft). Dissatisfied with the limitations of human propulsion, Monturiol, after much experimentation, invented a chemical combination that generated both heat and oxygen when mixed. With the heat generated by this mixture he hoped to drive a small steam engine, which could also be powered with coal during surface operation.
Monturiol's ultimate plan envisaged a vessel custom-built to house his new engine, which would be entirely built of metal and with the engine housed in its own separate compartment. Due to the state of his finances, construction of the metal vessel was out of the question. Instead, he managed to assemble enough funds to fit the engine into the wooden Ictineo II for preliminary tests and demonstrations.
On 22 October 1867, Ictineo II made her first surface journey under steam power, averaging 3.5 kn (4.0 mph; 6.5 km/h) with a top speed of 4.5 kn (5.2 mph; 8.3 km/h). On 14 December, Monturiol submerged the vessel and successfully tested his anaerobic engine, without attempting to travel anywhere.
On 23 December that same year, Monturiol's company went bankrupt and could attract no more investment.[3] The chief creditor called in his debt, and Monturiol was forced to surrender his sole asset, Ictineo II. The creditor subsequently sold her to a businessman, and the authorities, who taxed all ships, issued its new owner with a tax bill. Rather than pay the bill, he dismantled the submarine and sold it for scrap.[4] A replica can be seen at the harbor of Barcelona.
Later life and legacy
In 1868 Monturiol returned to political life. A member of the Partido Federal, he was a deputy in the Constituent Assembly of the First Spanish Republic (1873), and shortly afterwards became the director of Fabrica Nacional del Timbre (National Stamp Factory) in Madrid for a few months, where he implemented a process to speed up the manufacturing of adhesive paper. Monturiol's other inventions included a system for copying letters, a continuous printer, a rapid-firing cannon, a system to enhance the performance of steam generators, a stone cutter, a method for preserving meat, and a machine for making cigarettes.[5]
Monturiol died in 1885, in Sant Martí de Provençals, now a suburb of Barcelona.
No other submarine employed an anaerobic propulsion system until 1940 when the German Navy tested a system employing the same principles, the Walter turbine, on the experimental V-80 submarine and later on the Type XVII submarines. The problem of air-independent propulsion was finally resolved with the construction of the first nuclear powered submarine, the USS Nautilus.
Spain honored Monturiol on a postage stamp in 1987 (purportedly his death centennial; the reason for the discrepancy is unclear).[6]
He has two monuments: one in Barcelona (Avinguda Diagonal-Carrer Girona) and other at the end of the Rambla in Figueres, his native city, better known for another Figuerenc, Salvador Dalí.
The Spanish Navy has honored his name giving it to what will be the first launched submarine of air independent propulsion in active service in the Spanish Navy, the S-82 Narciso Monturiol (the S-81 Isaac Peral being launched the last due to construction issues).
In 2013 a manned submersible capable of reaching depths of 1,200 m (3,900 ft) was named Ictineu 3 honouring Monturiol's inventions, Ictineo I and Ictineo II.[7]

Mar 2 Best Actresses of 2017
Manan Ilyas
Tatiana Maslany - Erin Hurley - Stronger
Tatiana Maslany is an acting gem. She slayed on Orphan Black by playing multiple characters and it is a shame we do not see her in more movies. Putting her next to Jake Gyllenhaal was a terrific pairing of acting talents. Maslany's character might not be the lead of the film but she is the heart of the film. You can see the guilt and sadness in her eyes as she battles with optimism. There are scenes that require immense frustration to come out and Maslany plays it off easily. Not once does her performance come off cliche or annoying. Maslany goes toe to toe with Gyllenhaal in some scenes and it is an acting bonanza. Maslany brings a lot of emotion to the role and she too breaks out hearts. We need more of Tatiana Maslany.
Emma Stone - Billie Jean King - Battle of the Sexes
Emma Stone is one of the brightest actresses out there. She has worked very hard to get to where she is and is a hustler. She is humbly modest and gives 100 percent in every role. Now that she is a leading lady, Stone is trying to tackle more difficult roles and it is fun to watch. Battle of the Sexes might not have been the film to do Billie Jean King's life justice, but Stone was the correct actress to play her. Stone transforms her appearance to be a bit more similar to BJK's but she also gets some of the mannerisms correct. This is the first time I have seen Stone really become a character rather than a variation of herself. Her accent isn't overdone as a lot of people tend to do and the performance is not in your face (Yelling emotionally crying) It is subtle performance but it is very well crafted. Stone does not make the movie about her but about servicing the plot and honoring BJK's story. Carrell does not have as many scenes as Stone nor do they share much, Stone carries the movie on her own, is not overshadowed by her successful male co star. Like I said, I don't think the movie itself was that great but sometimes the lead actor can be so entertaining that there is enjoyment to be had from the movie. That is certainly the case here.
Jessica Chastain - Molly Bloom - Molly's Game
Jessica Chastain has been really stepping up in the last few years. She is fighting for actress rights but also daring herself to not be another Hollywood dame. Molly Bloom is one of her best performances if not best. Another great performance shunned by the Academy for some reason. Molly Bloom could easily be a unlikable character but Chastain gives her a relatable humanity with a drive any of us could understand. Her morals and decisions are questionable but Chastain shows us the fragile human being behind that exterior. Molly Bloom has been trying to prove the men in her life wrong and Chastain's body movements and speech delivery make blatantly noticeable. Bloom isn't a "character" type of role but Chastain disappears in the role. It is a subtle and intense performance but it takes skill to deliver Sorkin dialogue with finesse. The entire movie is based on Chastain's performance and she carries the movies with ease. It is hard to imagine the movie being this good without her. Chastain really shines towards the end where she has to defend her decision making and goes on this emotional monologue which brings out the best in her talents. Jessica Chastain's performance as Bloom is easily one of the best of 2017.
Frances Mcdormand - Mildred Hayes - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
Frances McDormand has given us so many great performances in her career. She had solidified herself as an acting legend and haf nothing to prove. Yet McDormand still continues to give great performances and Mildred Hayes is one of her finest performances. Mildred is fierce, she is witty, a mess, terrifying and intimidating. And Frances channels all those emotions with ease. Her constant change in tone is well balanced and she does it with smoothness. Mcdonaugh is a writer who writes terrific dialogue and McDormand takes that dialogue a step further. She brings it to life and makes it her own. Mcdormand's performance is so powerful she makes you forget you're watching a movie. It is real and raw. And you can see right through Mcdormand's eyes that she is a mess. It is amazing how versatile McDormand is. She has gone from playing damsel in distress (Blood Simple), to well meaning good hearted Marge Gunderson, to ditzy Linda Litzkey and now ferocious Mildred Hayes. Mcdormand deserves all the praise she has been getting.
Sally Hawkins - Elisa Esposito - The Shape of Water
Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water has to be one of my favorite performances in 2017. It is unique and not something you see in mainstream Hollywood. Any time a person with a disability is shown on screen, the movie is about their disability rather than a story. Props to Del Toro for making his leads silent characters. The film heavily relies on Hawkins' physical and facial movements and she does an absolute terrific job. She portrays so much without saying anything. It is a tour de force of show and don't tell. Hawkins worked very hard to get sign language down and that is not an easy feat. Hawkins is so convincing that you forget she can speak. And any time Hawkins is on screen you feel her presence and she does not have to say anything. It is a very emotional touching performance and there is one scene where it shows how terrific she is in her role. She explains to Richard Jenkins' character why she loves the Fish Man so much. Her hands and face get more emotional and emotional during her confession and it gut wrenching to watch. That is great acting! For a performance with no dialogue it is absolutely memorable!
Margot Robbie - Tonya Harding - I Tonya
Saorsin Ronan - Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson - Lady Bird
Dafne Keefe - X23/Laura - Logan
Zoe Kazan - Emily Gardner - Big Sick
Michelle Williams - Gail Harris - All the Money in the World

The Short Version: The Living Light Culinary Institute is the world's premier plant-based cooking school for vegan, vegetarian, and health-conscious chefs from all walks of life. If you want to learn how to bring out the fresh flavors of raw ingredients, you can take a hands-on course and build your cooking repertoire in a friendly environment. The workshops emphasize garden-to-table and ocean-to-table cooking methods that empower individuals to prep nutritious, delicious, and eco-friendly meals. Whether you want to wow your date with your culinary skills or support a partner's path to good health, you can educate yourself about what to put on your plate at the Living Light Culinary Institute.
One summer day, my mom called me as I was driving home for dinner. She was at the ER with my dad. He'd been experiencing chest pains for a couple days, and they thought it might be a heart attack. "We don't want you to worry," my mom told me. Too late for that.
When I got home, my mom's hamburger casserole was still hot from the oven and sitting on our family dinner table. My dad had asked her to make it the night before. I felt sick thinking about all that cheese and grease clogging his arteries, and I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
My dad used to sneak extra cookies and double helpings of fried foods like he was getting away with something. But it caught up to him. Thankfully, my dad survived his heart attack, and the experience served as a wake-up call for my parents, who now keep to a strict nutritious diet.
Health-conscious men and women come together at the Living Light Culinary Institute's cooking workshops and events.
As my family has discovered, maintaining healthy eating habits is very much a team effort. Couples can do a lot to support one another's dietary goals and restrictions, especially in their home kitchens. You can learn how to whip up delicious and healthy dishes by going to a vegan-friendly culinary class by yourself or with a partner.
For the last 20 years, the Living Light Culinary Institute has offered plant-based cooking classes in California to inspire home cooks and professional chefs to change the way they prepare and consume food. Once you know more about what's on your plate, you can control what goes in your body and improve your quality of life — and the quality of life of anyone dining with you.
Couples can take a course at the Living Light Culinary Institute to commit to a healthier way of life and bond while learning useful cooking skills.
The typical class size at the Living Light Culinary Institute is about 15 students, and people come from all corners of the globe to learn from these plant-based culinary artists. To date, the Institute has trained over 1,000 people from 60 countries. The hands-on classes have taught graduates how to forage for natural ingredients, prep meals, and present world-class cuisine representing a variety of ethnic flavors. The diverse culinary curriculum covers everything from raw nutrition to vegan cooking.
It doesn't matter what your eating habits are or how much culinary experience you have — every student is welcome to enroll in the culinary classes, stay at the private inns in town, and cultivate a healthy relationship with plant-based foods. By learning how to bring out the natural flavors of living foods, you can embark on a healthy lifestyle and whip up gourmet dishes that'll keep your loved ones satisfied for many years to come.
If you want to discover the beauty and benefits of living foods, you can become a student of the Living Light Culinary Institute and start a journey toward clean living.
People decide to become vegetarian or vegan for many reasons, including their health, moral reservations, and environmental concerns. Some students of the Living Light Culinary Institute have said they decided to change their diets because of a loved one suffering a life-threatening illness.
However, some people shy away from the vegan lifestyle because they think it'll take all the joy and flavor from their mealtimes. The Institute believes the exact opposite is true — and it's on a mission to prove it. The team of culinary experts has recently started hosting pop-up dinners for around 48 guests. You can check the Institute's calendar to make a reservation for this catered event. Seats are limited, so sign up early if you want to dig in.
The Institute hosts pop-up dinners to tempt Californians with gourmet vegan dishes.
The Institute's vegan-friendly meals are extremely popular because they showcase the many delicious organic flavors of plant-based foods. Once a month, the Institute impresses diners by putting out a spread of mouthwatering cuisine, including vegan crab cakes and a fully stocked salsa bar.
The goal of the pop-up dinners is to make vegan dishes more accessible to people who may not know how delicious organic vegetable and fruit dishes can be. The chefs hope one bite of the black forest chocolate cake will change any preconceived notions that all vegan food is bland and tasteless.
Over the last few decades, the Living Light Culinary Institute has helped many people expand their culinary expertise. You can read some of the success stories for a taste of the wonderful work they do. Some of the Institute's graduates include movers and shakers in the raw food industry.
The open-minded and compassionate staff members of the Institute support foodies on a journey to a healthier lifestyle. Many students find healing and inspiration through the workshops.
The Living Light Culinary Institute encourages thousands of people, like my parents, to be more conscious of what foods they're putting in their bodies and make healthful choices when preparing meals at home. The educational organization's workshops and events empower culinary students to prepare, cook, and flavor raw foods, creating mouthwatering dishes that are both nutritious and delicious.

Griffith, Jones Make History Signing Maryland Bills Into Law

ANNAPOLIS — For the first time in Maryland history, two Black women serving as presiding officers signed bills into law.
Sitting aside from Gov. Larry Hogan, the two women — House Speaker Adrienne Jones and Senate President Pro Tem Melony Griffith — joined the governor Thursday to sign 103 bills.
"So we better get a couple of pictures," Hogan said.
Griffith signed one of her own bills she sponsored for the state which called for the establishment of a Minority Enterprise Business Ombudsman to assist small, minority- and women-owned businesses in the procurement process.
That person, who will ensure accountability, transparency and conduct trainings for procurement officers for the MBE program, will work in the governor's Office of Small, Minority, and Women Business Affairs. The bill goes into effect July 1.
"I never imagined when I was elected to represent the citizens of District 25 four years ago that I would have the opportunity to sit beside the governor and the speaker and stand in for the Senate [President Bill Ferguson] … to sign bills into law," Griffith, of Upper Marlboro, said after the bill signing ceremony at the State House. "It was a pretty amazing experience."
As for Jones, she reiterated the legislature's work on trying to adjust to a sense of normalcy during the coronavirus pandemic.
"I can't overstate how proud I am of what we were able to accomplish this session to benefit Marylanders across the state," she said.
One particular signed bill that goes into effect Oct. 1 deals with renaming Indian Head Highway, also known as Route 210, as Piscataway Highway in honor of the Piscataway Native American tribe.
The highway, known as one of the most dangerous in Maryland because of vehicles crashes and pedestrian fatalities, extends from the D.C. border in Oxon Hill in Prince George's County and into neighboring Charles County.
The legislation served as one of the last measures sponsored by Del. Jay Walker (D-District 26) of Fort Washington, who decided not to seek reelection. On the last day of the legislative session on April 11, he said the name Indian Head is a derogatory term.
"I'm glad we got it done," he said
Walker didn't attend the bill-signing ceremony Thursday, but two others did: Jesse James Swann Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, and Julie Tayac Yates, matriarch of the Piscataway Indian Nation.
Swann said he and others worked on changing the highway's name for at least seven years.
"We're overjoyed that this has happened. This has been long overdue," said Swann of Charles County. "Now it's going to be Piscataway Highway."
Julie Tayac Yates got emotional.
"Now that this has happened, our ancestors are awakened," said she while looking towards the ceiling inside the State House. "The spirits lifted on the highway are signing our songs."
The other bills signed include:
The extension the "More Jobs for Marylanders" program through 2027 for businesses that provide manufacturing jobs. Currently, business owners can receive tax credits by enrolling in the program and are certified as a "quality business entity" until June 1 of this year.
The creation of a Prince George's County work group to provide recommendations for County Council on recreation programming, use of facilities and other opportunities away from the Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission to another entity.
Raising the minimum age for marriage in the state from 15 to 17 and prohibiting 17-year-olds from marrying a person more than four years older.
Meanwhile, Maryland became the second state in the nation to outlaw the practice of declawing cats by a veterinarian.
"Delegates and senators heard from the people of Maryland and made a powerful decision that we will no longer allow cats in our state to endure this cruel, crippling procedure," Becky Robinson, president and founder of Alley Cat Allies of Bethesda, said in a statement. "Amputating the last joints from cats' toes is excruciating, causing a lifetime of pain and unintended consequences that often lead to cats being relinquished to shelters."

Turkey threatens to clear terrorist group from Iraq's Sinjar mountains
by March 22, 2018
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to clear terrorists from northern Iraq's Sinjar mountains if Baghdad does not act on his warning that the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has set up a headquarters there.
Speaking on Monday, the president said: "We have told the central (Iraqi) government that the PKK is establishing a new headquarters in Sinjar.
"If you can deal with it, you handle it. But if you cannot, we will suddenly enter Sinjar one night and clear this region of terrorists."
Erdogan said he told Baghdad to deal with PKK camps and warned Sinjar may become a stronghold for the group. "If we are friends, you will make it easy for us," he said.
The PKK have waged a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state and are considered a terrorist organization by Ankara, Europe and the US.
For the past few months, Turkish and Iraqi officials have engaged in high-level political and military talks to discuss potential joint action against the PKK in Sinjar along the Iraqi-Syrian border.
Ankara has justified its previous operations against PKK hideouts in Iraq using Article 51 of the United Nations Charter on a country's right to self-defense against armed attack.
Sinjar is strategically important because it unites the Kurdish areas in Syria to Iraq. The Syrian town of Afrin was captured by Turkish troops on Sunday in what it called Operation Olive Branch.
Erdogan said Turkish forces and allied Syrian forces would press eastwards to Kobani, Manbij and Sinjar.
Some analysts interpreted Erdogan's threat against Sinjar as a means of putting pressure on Washington, which partnered with Syrian Kurdish fighters against Daesh. Thousands have fled Afrin and the US State Department has declared itself "deeply concerned" about the humanitarian situation there.
Sinjar, 100 km west of Mosul, is one of the disputed areas claimed by both the Baghdad central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Although Baghdad fiercely opposes it, Kurds would like to incorporate this region into their autonomous territories.
Last October, a month after Iraqi Kurds voted for independence from Baghdad in a referendum, Iraqi central government forces took Sinjar after Kurdish forces pulled out. The region had been captured from Daesh by Kurdish troops in 2015.
The mountainous heartland of Sinjar is the ancestral land of Kurdish-speaking Yazidis. In 2014, thousands of Yazidis were slaughtered and others held as sex slaves by Daesh, focusing international concern on the plight of this minority group.
The UN concluded that Daesh had committed genocide against the Yazidis, many of whom volunteered to fight against the extremist group in the ranks of the PKK.
Hashed Al-Shaabi, an Iraqi paramilitary force mostly made up of Iranian-trained Shiite militias, also had Yazidis in its ranks. Any Turkish attack on Sinjar would risk being seen also as an attack against Yazidis.
"While Turkey could conduct an operation against the PKK in Sinjar based on Article 51 of the UN Charter, acting with the direct or silent approval of Bagdad and Irbil would invalidate any question on legality," Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, Ankara director of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told Arab News.
Iran's approval would also be key for such an operation not only because of the leverage that Tehran has over Baghdad, but also because of Hashed Al-Shaabi's presence around Sinjar, he said.
"As Sinjar was one of the scenes of atrocities by Daesh in 2014, it is natural that the international community will be exceedingly sensitive about civilian casualties and the PKK can be expected to make a hybrid response to Turkey, not only through terrorist attacks but also media and social media campaigns," Unluhisarcikli said.
According to Barin Kayaoglu, an assistant professor of world history at the American University of Iraq, a Sinjar operation was more likely after Afrin.
"It's not clear how the federal government of Iraq or the KRG will respond to the Turkish government's statement regarding Sinjar. But given the recent results of Turkey's Operation Olive Branch, it would be prudent to take Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his administration at their word," he told Arab News.
Should a Turkish operation in Sinjar proceed, it would need some co-ordination with Baghdad and Irbil, if not a joint operation with both, Kayaoglu said.
"(Co-ordination was) less likely with the KRG," he said. "There's much anger in the Kurdistan region of Iraq toward Turkey because of Olive Branch."

This week, we're paying special attention to Beaducation, Endicia customer and thriving online business that offers jewelry making supplies and free educational videos for jewelry-making enthusiasts worldwide.
We recently caught up with Lisa Niven Kelly, owner and founder of Beaducation, to discuss how she transformed her passion for beading and teaching metalwork techniques into a full-blown small business success story.
Endicia: How did you come up with the idea for your online business? Have you always been interested in jewelry-making?
LNK: I got into beading back in high school. My friends and I would go to the local hardware store for seed beads and fishing line to make ankle bracelets. I continued the hobby through college and adulthood, and started experimenting more with metalwork and wirework techniques. Eventually, I decided to quit my day job and immerse myself in the jewelry industry full-time.
I started traveling all over the U.S., teaching classes and selling supplies. Years later, I wanted to start a family and I figured I could do everything I was doing, but from the comfort of my living room. My husband, Paul, helped me build a website and the name "Beaducation" just kind of stuck.
Endicia: Was it difficult to combine your love of jewelry-making with the business side of things?
LNK: Surprisingly, not at all. I think many artists try to morph their passion into a business and sometimes it doesn't work out because they have more of that "artist brain" and not as much of a desire to embrace the business side of things. But I personally love crunching the numbers and filling out the spreadsheets, on top of the jewelry making. I think you have to enjoy all elements of owning a business and not see certain tasks as a chore to be successful.
Endicia: As much as you can love it, running an online business is no easy task! Where do you find your inspiration and how do you avoid getting burnt out?
LNK: Honestly, I think I was born with the 'need to run my own business' gene. My family has always owned wineries and other ventures, and we like to say that business is in our blood. However, entering college I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so I studied child development and just made jewelry as a hobby. I started teaching others my metalwork and wirework designs and began selling tools and supplies to make jewelry, and everything snowballed from there.
As far as finding my day-to-day inspiration, I would say it comes from my employees and our teamwork. It's impossible not to feel inspired when you have such great culture in the work space. I try to ensure that everyone is having a good time, despite how busy things get.
Endicia: Any tips you swear by for keeping your customers happy?
LNK: You genuinely have to listen to your customers' feedback and apply it to your business model. One way we did this is by creating a clear return policy. With Endicia's Pay-on-Use Returns, we can email a PDF version of a return slip to our customers as soon as they request it. Since we adopted Pay-on-Use Returns, we haven't had a single return complaint or complication. Without customers, your business wouldn't exist, so it's crucial to take what they say to heart. It's that simple.


Definition - What does Vishing mean?
Vishing is the illegal access of data via voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Vishing is IP telephony's version of phishing and uses voice messages to steal identities and financial resources. The term is a combination of "voice" and "phishing."
Vishing attacks are designed to generate fear and immediate response and therefore occur within short time frames. They are difficult to trace.
For example, a vishing perpetrator (visher) may gain access to a group of private customer phone numbers. The visher may then call the group. When a potential victim answers the phone, he or she hears an automated recording informing him that his bank account has been compromised. He then calls the specified toll-free number to reset his security settings and hears another automated message requesting the user's bank account number and/or other personal details via the phone keypad.
