Q: Django: Accessing ManytoMany field I am currently facing the following challenge. As the visitor of my page you can select between different events. Let's say you clicked on one and now you are on the event page with the id 1. You can select between different tickets. Let's assume you selected Ticket 1 ( USD 100 ) with 19% VAT and Ticket 2 (USD 200) (includes Food) with 19 % + 7% VAT. Now you click on check out and the next page will list the following:
1x Ticket 1 - Total: USD 100
1x Ticket 2 - Total: USD 200

I am now struggling with this ManytoMany field. How would you access the individual tickets get the VAT from the respective ManytoMany field and then display them at the end of my template? I considered tuple, dictionary etc. but I am really struggling to find the best approach here. Did you ever face a similar code challenge?

Acknowledging the Link Between Wildlife Trafficking and Pandemics
May 13, 2020 • Environment, sustainability
In a few short months, the entire world has yielded to an unprecedented public health crisis, bringing us to our knees, as COVID-19 wreaks havoc over millions of people around the world. Experts acknowledge the uniqueness of the circumstance but also recognize the reminder that zoonotic diseases, passing from animals to humans, kill millions of people every year. We've seen viruses like this before and we will likely see them again – unless we address systemic causes from human behaviors like habitat destruction and wildlife trafficking.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 60% of global infectious disease deaths and 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses transmitted from animal species to humans. This includes well known viruses like Malaria, HIV, Zika, Ebola, Lyme disease, and now COVID-19, which has been suspected to originate from wildlife trade in Wuhan wet markets. Since humans have no immunity to new animal diseases, the impact can be devastating. Zoonoses can be transmitted by insect bites, handling of sick animals, consumption of raw or undercooked animal meat, contaminated water, or even by touching products that have carried the pathogens forward. Human behaviors like these stem from global wildlife trade and habitat destruction that ultimately break down human-animal boundaries that could otherwise protect us from these foreign viruses.
COVID-19 has sounded the warning bell again – to prevent future zoonotic pandemics, people have to stop illegal wildlife trade and habitat destruction. Previous efforts have focused on the threat to species, biodiversity loss, and other sustainability concerns – but COVID-19 is a reminder that these diseases pose a threat to the human species as well. Every country in the world has a duty to call for concerted global efforts to crack down on the trade and consumption of wildlife and increase habitat conservation in order to keep ecosystems intact. Much work is needed to change the behavior for the supply and demand of the multi-billion dollar wildlife trade business.
Stopping the problem of wildlife trafficking is a global responsibility and each country and its citizens has a role to play. For example, coronavirus has brought to light the wildlife trade industry in China as being a multi-billion dollar revenue generator because animals are used medicinally, for exotic meats, and more. A lesser-known fact is that a significant portion of the world's trade in illegal wildlife is either driven by U.S. consumers or passes through U.S. ports to other destinations. Further, the recently released Netflix series, Tiger King, that has taken socially isolated viewers by storm, has highlighted a violent exotic animal industry that starts with the illegal trafficking of endangered big cats. While American's face some form of self-isolation, lockdown, or quarantine, they're watching and learning about the horrid conditions faced by animals in captivity, so called "big cat rescues," right here in the U.S. Amongst the many eye-opening facts revealed in the docuseries, we learn there are more tigers living in American backyards than in the wild. A gruesome reality that this is a global challenge requiring
individual behavior change in every corner of the world.
It is time for humans to reexamine their relations with nature. We have the responsibility to respect and keep safe the environment that nurtures us – and to live harmoniously with the animals around us. We have to take immediate action to terminate illegal global wildlife trade, saving the precious wildlife species, as well as ourselves. This is why PMC has been producing content to prevent the consumption of bushmeat, destruction of habitat and biodiversity loss, and connecting the dots around zoonotic diseases and their spread. There are many organizations that address immediate relief efforts and the more ethical treatment of animals, but not many organizations are tackling the social and cultural norms that facilitate the continuation of these ongoing problems. To truly change behavior, we also need to provide accurate information and resources to those involved in the supply and demand sides of this wildlife trafficking industry in order to create sustained change.
When we acknowledge the link between wildlife trafficking and pandemics we recognize the role human behavior and social norms play in the process, giving us a chance to address more sustainable change. When you support PMC, you are funding a deeper understanding of the driving forces behind issues like wildlife trafficking and habitat loss, systemic issues, human behaviors that can cause pandemics like we're facing today. PMC uncovers the norms preventing progress and then meets folks where they are to present solutions, services and resources supported by reputable community partners. PMC has a unique skill of creating entertaining stories that depict practical pathways for people to understand the consequences of dangerous interactions with wildlife – actions that have been known to cause zoonotic diseases in the past. Surface level changes are simply not enough to create the systemic changes needed. If we work together to empower people to make more informed decisions for themselves, their families, and communities while having a better understanding of how these very personal decisions connect to the health of the planet we inhabit – we can prevent the next major zoonotic crisis from arising.

Pictured here is a very fine cluster of pyrite crystals from the Magma mine, Superior, Pinal County. The Magma mine was discovered in 1874 and was at first called the Silver Queen mine based on the thought (and hope) that it would be an important silver mine. It turned out to be a very important mine, but not for silver. It produced lead, zinc and copper ore from 1880 until 1981.
Many mines in Arizona are surface mines. This one, however, is a very deep mine and temperatures in the mine shafts get very, very hot. It is the deepest mine in the State of Arizona. This mine has produced mostly zinc ore (the mineral sphalerite) and some lead ore (galena). It has also produced copper ore in the form of the mineral bornite. All of these ore minerals are sulfide minerals, that is, they have sulfur in their crystals. Galena is lead sulfide; sphalerite is zinc sulfide; bornite is copper-iron sulfide. It is not a surprise, then, to find other sulfide minerals, like the pyrite pictured here (iron sulfide), associated with the ore minerals of the Magma mine.
What you will need: A piece of massive pyrite; a hammer or steel cold chisel; goggles to protect your eyes; gloves to protect your hands; a dark room.
What you need to know: The name pyrite comes from the Greek word pur which means fire. Do you wonder why? You are about to find out . . .
Step 1: Put on your goggles to protect your eyes.
Step 2: Put on your gloves to protect your hands.
Step 3: Hold a piece of massive pyrite in one hand.
Step 4: Hit the pyrite with a hammer or steel cold chisel (actually, any tool that is made of steel). When you hit the pyrite, try to hit it in a way that the tool slides off the side of the specimen while it strikes it.
Be careful!! Years ago miners, campers and travelers would start their campfires using pyrite and steel. The spark made when you strike the two together is hot enough to start a fire.

Тераса травертинова (, , ) – тераса, складена натічними поверхнями, які ростуть зверху вниз і складені травертином. Виникає там, де потужні, часто гарячі, джерела витікають на пологих схилах і їх вода стікаючи вниз відкладає вапняковий туф (травертин). Останній і утворює терасу, яка має характерний "сходинковий" вигляд. Сходинки тераси відокремлені одна від одної валами з валками з вапнякового туфу.

Приклади: тераси джерела Гарм-Чашма на південному заході Паміру та Мамонтових джерел у Йєллоустонському національному парку, США, зустрічаються в Новій Зеландії, на Камчатці.

Limbă cu măsline și sos de roșii  este văzută în prezent internațional drept rețetă clasică a bucătăriei românești. În special în ceea ce privește condimentele, rețeta poate să difere nițel de la o regiune la alta.

Istoric
Deși acest fel nu are corespondent în străinătate și asupra originii lui nu există divergențe, totuși există și păreri împărțite despre originea rețetei. Astfel, unii spun că ar fi de sorginte grecească, în timp ce alții susțin că rețeta provine din Italia. Musulmanii din Dobrogea, pretind, că rețeta își ar avea originea în Imperiul Otoman și se prepară numai cu limbă de vită.

Mod de preparare

Limba
Înainte de a fi inclusă în diferite preparate, limba de vită, porc sau vițel trebuie să fie fiartă.

Ingrediente

- Zarzavatul de adăugat este alcătuit din ceapă tăiată în bucăți mari, țelină (tulpină), morcovi, 1 cățel de usturoi, tulpini de pătrunjel

- Condimentele sunt: sare, cuișoare, foi de dafin, precum coriandru, ienibahar, ienupăr și piper negru boabe.

Preparare
Mai întâi limba se spală bine sub jet de apă rece, de preferință cu o perie aspră. Se clătește apoi în câteva ape. Dacă nu a fost pusă înainte în saramură, se pune într-un vas încăpător și se acoperă cu apă rece. Se ține în apă, la frigider pentru aproximativ 3 ore. În acest timp se schimbă apa de câteva ori. Prin această schimbare repetată a apei în care se ține limba se urmărește eliminarea salivei și enzimelor digestive conținute de aceasta. Apoi se acoperă cu apă rece și se adaugă sare (la limba în saramură numai foarte puțină). Se fierbe la foc mic, îndepărtându-se spuma de câteva ori. După acea se adaugă zarzavatul și condimentele. Timpul fierberii depinde de mărimea și proveniența limbii. Astfel limba de vită are nevoie de 2-3 ore, cea de vițel 1-2 ore și cea de porc doar un trei sfert de oră.

După ce limba a fiert, se scoate din lichid care este păstrat deoparte, iar limba se pune pe un tocător și, cât este fierbinte, se curăță de piele, membrane și grăsime (dacă există).

Sosul de roșii cu măsline

Ingrediente
Se folosesc următoarele ingrediente: ceapă tocată mărunt, roșii tăiate în cubulețe (după gust și ceva ardei gras roșu tăiat fin sau pastă de ardei), vin roșu sau o linguriță de lămâie respectiv oțet, puțin mujdei, măsline negre (cel mai bine de soiul Kalamata), pastă de roșii, zeama în care a fiert limba, pătrunjel tocat mărunt, foi de dafin, sare, zahăr, piper negru.

Preparare
Ceapa (și ardeiul gras), se călește în ulei cu ceva zahăr până începe să se moaie, apoi se prăjește scurt împreună cu ea pasta de roșii și se stinge cu vinul roșu care trebuie redus, ca să evaporeze alcoolul. Se adaugă pasta de ardei, mujdei, roșiile și spre sfârșit măslinele, limba tăiată felii de 1,5-2 cm grosime și pătrunjelul. Se potrivește de sare și piper. Toată procedura nu durează mai mult de 10-15 minute.

Mod de servire
Această mâncare este delicioasa atât caldă ca fel principal cu mămăligă caldă, felii de mămăligă rece, piure de cartofi, orez sau numai pâine albă, cât și rece ca antreu, garnisită cu puțin pătrunjel tocat și câteva felii de lămâie. Probabil prepararea cu limbă de vită este cea mai savuroasă datorită texturii cârnii precum a mirosului și gustului pronunțat.

Alternative
Limba fiartă se poate prepara cald de asemenea cu un sos de smântână, un sos de smântână cu capere sau un sos cu ciuperci.

Церковь Спаса-на-водах (Церковь Спаса Нерукотворного Образа) — православный храм в Мурманске. Относится к Мурманскому благочинию Мурманской и Мончегорской епархии. Своё название церковь получила от иконы Христа, ходящего по водам. Входит в состав мемориального комплекса памяти морякам, погибшим в мирное время. Служба проходит с сурдопереводом — для глухих прихожан.

История
Церковь была построена в честь 85-летия города на пожертвования горожан, стала первым каменным храмом на возвышенностях Мурманска, на сопке возле Семеновского озера. Здание хорошо просматривается из центра города. Это третья каменная церковь в городе после Свято-Никольского (1985) и Владимирского храмов (1999). Храм был освящен в октябре 2002 года.

В 2005 году здание церкви было осквернено сатанистами, которые испачкали стены кровью животных.

Описание
Храм построен в древнерусском стиле, с пристроенной колокольней. Церковь должна стать частью будущего главного храма Мурманска — комплекса Спасо-Преображенского морского собора. Почитаемые святыни:

 икона Христа, ходящего по водам
 иконы Божьей матери
 икона апостола Андрея Первозванного
 икона праведного адмирала Феодора Ушакова

NEW YORK CITY ARCHIVES
Robber Barron
by Dasun Allah
East New York Insurgent Charles Barron photo: Keith Bedford
Charles Barron will never be an elected official. He says he'll be an elected activist if he wins his run for the City Council seat from the 42nd District. As a young Black Panther in the 1960s, Barron may have felt that "Black Power" meant storming City Hall. Now it means getting a job there.
The meaning of "Black Power" has changed significantly in recent years and Charles Barron has evolved along with it. His current campaign is part of what he terms an "inside/outside strategy" where infiltration and external agitation work hand in hand to make things happen.
Thanks to City Council term limits, Barron has a greater chance of making his blueprint for political power a reality this year than four years ago when he lost to Priscilla Wooten (now the outgoing incumbent) while pulling 40 percent of the vote. Barron still has a formidable opponent in the incumbent's son, Donald Wooten, a property manager for the city's Human Resources Administration and a member of District Council 37, which represents 125,000 city workers. "Somebody needs to tell Donald and his mother that this is a democracy, not a monarchy," said Barron recently.
At the Black Success barbershop in the heart of the district, one employee referred to Wooten's candidacy as "a joke," and another barber said he simply found Barron "better educated and more experienced."
Barron has built an extensive track record, which he seems to be getting across to voters. After his years in the Black Panther Party, he served as first chairperson of the National Black United Front's Harlem chapter, which, he said, became his "political and spiritual home," and also as the chief of staff to NBUF chair Reverend Herbert Daughtry, who is his pastor. In 1985, Barron founded Dynamics of Leadership, Inc., a corporation specializing in leadership training. In 1987, Barron was arrested along with the Reverend Al Sharpton and others during the "Day of Outrage" protests over the racial incident that resulted in the death of Michael Griffith in Howard Beach. Recently Barron has been involved in the growing movement for slavery reparations and the reinterment of slave remains at the African Burial Ground in lower Manhattan.
As head of his block association, the 18-year resident of Bradford Street helped to rid the area of drugs, and he successfully organized the community against what he terms the state's environmental racism by blocking the construction of an incinerator in East New York.
And this time around, Barron the underdog politician has emerged as a much stronger candidate. "Last time around we were up against the entire political machine out there, including the mayor and powerful unions. Mayor Giuliani came into the district three times. He hasn't visited the black community in ages, but when I ran, he wanted to protect the incumbent, Priscilla Wooten."
Despite the show of power from the local machine in 1997, Barron was able to gain 5000 signatures to get on the ballot and was able to remain there despite a legal challenge from the incumbent's agents. "They were so desperate to try to get me off the ballot that they said that I wasn't a citizen of the United States. I had to pay $10,500 [in legal fees] just to stay on the ballot."
Now, the picture has changed. "I have much more notability," says Barron. "There is no incumbent. The person who got the most votes last time who's in the race this time is me. I have more unions on board now than ever before."
So far, Barron has picked up endorsements from several unions, including the influential SEIU New York State Council and locals 1199 and 32BJ. He has the backing of several tenant and block associations, including the tenant associations of the Linden, Brownsville, and Tilden housing projects. And he maintains the support of Reverend Al Sharpton and Daughtry, as well as the backing of the Nation of Islam.
At the revival-like opening of his campaign headquarters August 4, Barron preached, "Reverend Sharpton says he's gonna get Russell Simmons on a flatbed truck with some rappers and some choirs, and we're gonna go through all the communities." And having raised sufficient funds to qualify for a four-to-one match in campaign financing from the city, Barron's coffers are a lot bigger than they were last time.
If successful, Barron wants to create a district with real economic opportunities and technological infrastructure. "White politicians are into policy and power. We're into programs and jobs," said Barron at the opening. "We gotta do something better than that. You get policy and power, and you'll have programs and jobs. Then we won't have to have a Rite Aid pharmacy come into our neighborhood. We'll have a 'Right On!' pharmacy that we own and operate."

Excellent stay and staff. My only negative feedback at all would be that there needs to be a different option for breakfast other than the restaurant opening at 8am. Doesn't account for early departures. As a Warrnambool boy myself, I have never stayed at accommodation in town before and this is a wonderful part of my awesome home town.
I was on the agoda app on my phone looking to book the lady bay resort in Adelaide while we were there weeks before for a lunch, it had the Adelaide one on there so I booked it but instead of booking the Adelaide one it changed it to one in Victoria with identical name rooms etc. I tried to contact the resort to fix & get a refund as I had to book & pay again for the Adelaide one, but they said I had to do it through agoda. Agoda had no way of contact exept a number that kept me on hold for 2 hours until I finally hung up & I had no way to cancel the wrong hotel or try to get refund because of an app error. I'd book for my partners birthday with some close friends 2 rooms and it was very upsetting that it cost me double the money that I couldn't afford.
Room was a good size for 2. Kitchen was well-equipped and there were supermarkets nearby. One thing I had a problem with is that there is no heating in the bedroom, only the living room.
Very nice room, big and clean, feel like home.
location of the hotel is fantastic. close the beaches, lookout point, town. the room is very clean. fully equipped kitchen.
Hotel is conveniently locate at the end of the Great Ocean Road. If you don't want to rush back to Melbourne on a same day trip, this is your idea stopover.
Really disappointing. My request for a room was completely ignored.The front door is made of frosted glass - not good for security as you could see vaguely through it. Every window opened onto a road, skate rink or restaurant. The carpet caught on the front door making it really difficult to open and close. The staff were rude when discussing the booking. I have stayed a number of times before and really enjoyed it but I have been really deterred by my last visit.
our 2 bedroom apartment is facing a junction of the road, middle of night is very noisy and the room is lookd old.
Noisy, overpriced, free internet not workable for business stay - limited. Agoda quoting in American $ lead to very expensive stay. blinds in tatters. Couldn't open a window because very noisey on corner of main road, buses, trucks etc. Dirt and dust everywhere.
Very happy with the choice to start at the Lady Bay. Close to beaches and the breakwater, with a great cafe down the road and decent coffee at the inhouse restaurant. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
The studio apartment overlooked the car park and the skate park which is not clear from the website but the balcony was still nice to have and did have a beach/river view which was nice.
Perfect. Very comfortable.The spa was very relaxing. Breakfast was delicious.
An excellent hotel. The room was large, well laid-out and clean. Right across the road from the beach and walking tracks.


Im on day 5 of ss+ and i have a quick couple of questions!
1/ How do i make the soup a bit more palatable? I follow instructions to the tee, but by the time i have finished blending/whisking its lukewarm..nowhere near as hot as soup SHOULD be and it makes it horrible!! How can i stop this from happening..shall i use kettle water?
2/ Mousse..loads of people on here are talking about mix a mousse and it sounds lovely..when will i get the opportunity to use that?..next week possibly?
thank you so much...great advice!
I too use water from the kettle - just have to remember to click it off before it boils!
When i used to whisk the soups like i do the shakes they would go all frothy and taste awful! I still whisk the shakes but now i just use a fork to mix the soups. This has really helped as they taste alot better for some reason that way!!
I am on week 2 of SS and am going to be trying the mix a mousse from next week, my counsellor recommended i waited til week 3. There are lots of thread on here re the mousse and how best to make it!!
Yeah Mandy..i can't stand the spicy tomato!
Thanks for the advice nicegirl1980!
I imagine i will be getting the porridges at the same time?
The above are all right, but I find that the method for the tomato soup works well for all of the soups. I turn my kettle off just before it clicks itself off, and mix the powder in a mug with a bit of water until it's a paste, then add the rest of the water while I stir it. Never tried whisking one - yuk! It's usually too hot to drink straight away. I also add loads of pepper to them. You can add most herbs and spices, but not salt.
The reason you can't have everything at day one is that the chewy bars (not the peanut or cranberry) have more carbs than the shakes, so could make it slower to hit ketosis. I assume the same is to be said for the mix a mousse and the water flavourings.
My CDC let me have the bars after 10 days because I begged!
Nope, you should still get them. Ask your CDC They're supposed to stock everything I think.
LOL, you need to have words with your CDC. No reason at all why you can't have tetras or porridge from Day 1.
I've done this before - I can do it again!
"One of the rules of life is that you get what you focus on."
I was being a spaz and using the hottest tap water on the planet,lol!
Yeah, when i have my first WI on Sunday i will be asking her! What am i supposed to say if she says no?!?
Your CDC is supposed to carry the full range of products, so it shouldn't be a problem. I think some CDCs think that porridge should be avoided in week 1 because it contains a few more carbs, but there's really no reason for the restriction. As for tetras, hmm, I'd probably starve without mine, LOL.
Stern words!! I think i'm going to have to use my teacher-voice!
Help - newbie here !! Is exante the same as cambridge ...???

We think we provide the best recruitment solutions in Scotland. We're proud of our services and are constantly innovating. Taking the strain and the pain out of recruitment. But don't take our word for it. Here's what our clients and candidates have to say about us.
Having been anti-recruitment firms for most of my career, I was approached by Tick Recruitment with what looked like a re-written rule book on the general approach of people placement. It sounded too good to be true but I decided to invite them in for an initial meeting as I was having issues in one specific resourcing area. The service, communication and value delivered from the initial engagement through to the successful placement of our newest recruit, was simply first class. I would encourage anyone to engage with Tick for their recruitment needs. This truly is a cost effective, high quality offering from industry-experienced individuals.
We have used Tick across all sectors, including management, finance, hospitality and office administration, to source us several employees over the last few months. We are impressed with both the quality of the service and the money we have saved as a result. The recruitment process can be expensive and time-consuming but with Tick we have found that you don't have to pay over the top fees in order to fulfil your requirements.
By using Tick recruitment Tigerlily has saved substantially on management recruitment costs. I ended up with two of the best candidates that I have seen for a while for the job at Tigerlily so we were able not only to fill our vacancy but also fill a position at another unit within our company. Tick recruitment will be my first point of contact for my management recruitment needs going forward. They provided the service we needed with fantastic value.
I recently won a consultancy project on which I required urgent account management support and within 24 hours Richard had 2 suitable candidates in my inbox, and a further 24 hours later I had interviewed and recruited a fabulous Account Manager with excellent experience levels and a perfect cultural fit for the business. Richard is responsive, engaged and understanding of business needs versus budgetary restrictions and I would be happy to recommend his approach to anyone looking for marketing expertise.
Richard managed to find the needle in the haystack we were looking for! Richards proactivity and intrinsic understanding of my requirements really helped me in the recruitment process.
Richard's personal, professional and proactive service has been great. I've never dealt with a recruiter who is so focussed and tenacious is his dedication to getting me into the correct position. Unlike other agencies I've dealt with, Richard has treated me like a unique person rather than a commodity. I'd have no hesitation recommending Tick to a friend or using his services in professional capacity in my new workplace.
I would also like to thank you personally for your involvement in what has been a difficult time for me, being made redundant from Blue restaurant. I would have no hesitation at all recommending yourself to anyone that is looking for work, you have been thoroughly professional and extremely helpful.
I've used Tick for several placements now. I can honestly say that it couldn't be simpler. I've ended up with great candidates and avoided the extraordinary fee conventional recruiters charge.
We used Tick Recruitment to recruit for a maternity leave position that we had been unable to fill using other online methods. We received some quality CV's from Tick which matched our criteria. Tick had already obtained references on the individuals, which dramatically speeded up the process and gave us peace of mind. We appointed one of the three people we interviewed on the same day and he is perfect for the role.
Richard Greenwood and Tick are a very welcome breath of fresh air in the recruitment arena. Clear, concise & considered - Tick don't make false promises - they simply deliver. I would recommend Tick to anyone who needs a swift, cost effective and quality service - in fact I already have!
I must say thank you to Richard at Tick Recruitment for all his efforts for finding my dream job in web development. From the minute Richard called me I felt his enthusiasm and had full confidence he was doing his utmost to ensure I would get there. How many agencies are able to have you hired within days of contact? Not many but Tick is definitely top of the class. I would highly recommend Tick Recruitment and it has been a pleasure dealing with them.
I applied for a role through tick recruitment and Richard got me an interview. Unfortunately that didn't lead to a position and in my experience recruitment companies normally finish there. Another role came to Richard's attention a couple of weeks later and he got in touch with me straight away. This lead to another interview and a position that I've taken up. Tick were great for me and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for work.
Right from the start Tick have been fantastic to work with. They've been proactive, efficient and have made finding a job all too easy! I would highly recommend them - thanks again for all your help.


Now and then, someone will read a blog I've written and think, oh, that's about me. The truth is, it's probably about a lot of people. In certain life predicaments, you're bound to encounter individuals with the same issues. You attract them and may even cling to them for a while because it's familiar.But I'm also writing things I've learned about myself—things that have allowed me to heal, grow, and evolve. I've had quite a bit of healing to do and, even with a ton of work,there's always much more.

Just got a sony a6000 with the 16-50 mm kit lens and was wondering what types of lenses would be good and what specific lenses for each type.
I found these different lenses doing some research. The last one that I posted was what is recommended as the first lens to get for someone who just got the camera. I didn't know if there are types of lenses I need that I didn't list or some superfluous ones that I did list. Also if you have recommendations for other lenses in these categories let me know.
Also, I mostly do portrait photography, but will be going to Ireland in May, and wanted something for landscapes and just cool shots overall.
Would you recommend the Canon t7i or SL2 for a beginner photographer/videograper?

From the Archives: Lambeth Conference, 1948
August 21, 2018 /in Archives, News /by jhoffman
By Mary Klein, archivist
As Bishop Noble Powell made plans to attend the Lambeth Conference of 1948, the Standing Committee of the diocese surprised him with the announcement that a fund to send not only the bishop, but his wife to England had been established. Mary Rustin Powell accompanied her husband aboard the U.S.S. America, leaving New York on June 23 and departing from England on August 13. After the trip Mrs. Powell wrote the ladies of her home parish, Emmanuel Church, Baltimore, who had contributed generously to the purse making her adventure possible. That letter was published in the Maryland Churchman so that all you had contributed to the purse could glimpse the exciting journey. Following are excerpts from Mary Powell's reminiscences of her nearly two-month sojourn abroad. Among the notable events shipboard, she wrote, "Those were six wonderful days enjoyed to the full, especially by me, perhaps, for never in the 24 years since I've been married have I known just where I could find my husband."
Remarking on the scarcity of food and consumer goods in England, even three years after the end of World War II, Mrs. Powell noted, "I don't understand how they can be so cheerful eating such rations year after year. In fact, we Americans are spoiled in every way. I can think of nothing I would rather do than send everyone I met a nice box of food and clothes." The sight of the ruins in London touched her deeply, and at her first sight of Canterbury she observed, "I walked under the beautiful Cloister Gate, and as we climbed the steps I noticed some snapdragons growing out of ruins. There was no earth to be seen, just the stone; yet flowers were growing. I couldn't help feeling it was typical of the British spirit – flowers growing out of ruins."
Thrilled by the Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, Mary Powell made some observations, "The Princess Margaret came our way. She is quite small and lovely looking in a pretty robin's egg blue taffeta suit, hat and shoes to match. The Shah of Iran was there with his retinue; several Indian potentates with their lovely wives exquisitely dressed – their clothes floated around them. Probably the most interesting people were the former Prime Minister and Mrs. Churchill. He was jolly and gallant to everyone – seemed to know everyone and never stopped smoking his cigar. When they left everyone cheered, and I wondered if Mr. Atlee were around and what his feelings were."
In closing to her friends at Emmanuel and throughout the diocese, the bishop's wife wrote, "And so my trip abroad is over, but the memory of it will always remain, and with it my gratitude for your generosity in making it possible. Thank you again for these thrilling weeks."

The Protestant Episcopal Brotherhood, Diocese of Maryland, 1851-1966
August 7, 2018 /in Archives, News /by jpandolfino
By Mary Klein, diocesan archivist
The Protestant Episcopal Brotherhood was "an organization of churchmen founded for benevolent purposes" in 1851. In the preamble it is stated that their purpose was to "associate ourselves for the purpose of mutual benefit in times of sickness and distress, for the promotion of Christian fellowship and love, and for the dispensation of temporal and spiritual aid and comfort to all who are in need of sympathy." Those who were eligible included "every clergyman of the Church, a resident of the Diocese of Maryland, and every layman, baptized or confirmed, or a communicant in the Protestant Episcopal Church, if a resident of the Diocese of Maryland…" The dues were steep: three to five dollars to join, depending upon age, and two dollars every quarter. In return, a member who could not work received $5 dollars a week disability for the first 13 weeks, $3 per week for the next 13 weeks, and $2 per week for the remainder of his illness. (One man's benefits went on for 179 weeks!) There was also a payment of $100 toward funeral expenses, as well as a $20 payment upon the death of a wife. A Widows' and Orphans' Fund also existed, as well as a Charity Fund.
In a day when unemployment insurance was unheard-of and unions were not prevalent in Maryland, a mutual benefit association which would provide some assistance while a man could not earn a living, was a God-send. Destitution could haunt a family quickly if the bread-winner were incapacitated; so the safety net provided by the Brotherhood, the vast majority of whom lived in Baltimore, probably spared many families the horrors of poverty.
The membership application form asked several interesting questions: "Are you temperate in all your habits?", "Will you endeavor to increase the membership for the Brotherhood and promulgate its interests?", "Are you able to earn a livelihood?". The rector of the applicant's parish had to be named and three Brothers had to recommend the applicant. There was also a medical examination required, a printed form appearing in about 1900. A physician examined the applicant and reported on his height, weight, heart and lungs. An interesting question was, "Are you ruptured, and if so, will you wear a truss?" That must have been a big problem, if it showed up on a medical exam form! The applicants were all men, at least 18 years of age, and looking at the height and weight figures is interesting to us a century later. The forms from 1903 until 1907 indicate that height ranged from 5' 4 ½ " to 5' 11", and the weight from 110 pounds (on a man 5'8") to 156 pounds on a man 5'7". Ages of the men applying ranged from 18-42, and most were shorter than today's man and much lighter in weight, the average height being 5'8" and weight 134 pounds. Diets and work habits apparently make a huge difference in determining weight and height.
Occupations of applicants are also interesting to study. Of course there were clergy, as well as bookkeepers, students, salesmen and real estate brokers, but the vast majority seemed to clerks.
The prevalence of corner stores meant lots of clerks were needed. There was also a Supreme Court bailiff, a music teacher, a proofreader, a draughtsman, and a boilermaker. Machinist's helpers, apprentices, telephone operators, attorneys, and stonecutters also applied; as did a car repairer, a confectioner, a post office clerk, a dentist, a stenographer, a paperhanger and a sexton. Merchants, bank clerks, laborers, as well as a moulder, a "general collector" and a glassmaker round out the occupation list. The list itself gives us a glimpse into the social structure of turn-of –the-century Baltimore, as well as the job market.
Receiving sick benefits didn't happen just as a matter of course. A member on the Relief Committee paid the sick Brother a visit to verify that he was ill and deserved the payment. A physician also had to send a note to the Brotherhood stating that the member was under his care and was unable to perform the duties for the carrying out of his occupation. In about 1900 a standard form was available for the application for sick benefits, requiring the physician to determine if the illness or injury was "caused by intemperance or any immoral conduct." Diagnoses may appear strange to modern ears. Nervous prostration, lumbago, sciatica, acute mental aberration, pleurisy, malaria and typhoid were all reported. Injuries included being fallen upon by a sleigh, sprained ankles, poisoning, broken ribs, mashed hands, dislocated hips, broken wrists, puncture wounds, and run-away horse accidents. Rheumatism and pneumonia were common, as were stomach troubles, tonsillitis, and bronchitis. "La grippe" was reported often; we know it today as the flu. One man was diagnosed with "locomotor ataxia" and nervous exhaustion and was later confined to a mental institution.
During the years 1891 to 1903, one Maryland clergyman received benefits often. Born in 1835, aging and apparently prone to accidents. He was 66 years old in 1901 when he filed a claim saying that he was prevented from performing his usual duties because he had been injured by a run-away horse. In 1902 he was injured again (this time the cause was not given), and in 1903 he was diagnosed with "printer's arm", whatever that might be. He also filed claims in 1891, 1892, 1894, and 1895.
Another clergyman seemed to have been plagued with nervous disorders, as well as other problems. Although he left the diocese in 1886, he continued to belong to the Brotherhood, pay his dues, and receive sick benefits. In 1892 he was diagnosed with "herpes zoster", what we call shingles; in 1893 his sleigh fell on him, causing several weeks of disability, and in 1895 he was diagnosed with malaria. Advent and Christmas must have been overwhelming for him, because the doctor's report filed on December 25, 1901 said that he had a breakdown caused by overwork and nervous prostration. This diagnosis was repeated in 1902, and he died December, 1902 at the age of 60.
Modern insurance possibilities made inroads into the Protestant Episcopal Brotherhood's stance as the sole help of many disabled workers in the Diocese, and the Brotherhood dissolved in 1966. There were forty members remaining and each received $200.00 at the dissolution. The Brotherhood's resources of over $10,000.00 were turned over to the Diocese, thus bringing to an end a century-old experiment in relief, disability insurance and fellowship.

Baltimore Hosts General Convention, 1808
July 24, 2018 /in Archives, General Convention, News /by jpandolfino
Meeting from May 17-26, 1808, twenty-seven clerical and lay deputies, representing seven states, convened at St. Paul's Church in Baltimore for the seventh General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Only two bishops attended: William White of Pennsylvania, who was the Presiding Bishop, and Thomas Claggett of Maryland. Bishop Benjamin Moore of New York, The Rt. Rev. Samuel Jarvis of Connecticut (who had also failed to attend the 1799 Convention) and Bishop James Madison of Virginia did not attend and the other dioceses – New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, and South Carolina were without bishops.
Since there were only two bishops comprising the House of Bishops, the Rev. Joseph Bend, rector of St. Paul's Parish, offered the bishops St. Paul's rectory as "the place of meeting during the sitting of the Convention". Each day, the bishops met at the rectory and worshipped with the clerical and lay deputies at the parish church; evening services were held at St. Peter's Church since St. Paul's was "not fitted for service by candle-light". The Rt. Rev. Samuel Parker of Massachusetts had been scheduled to preach at the opening service, but, having died only three months after his consecration in 1804, Bishop White agreed to take his place as preacher.
The Convention passed legislation adding thirty hymns to those contained in the Prayer Book, as well as legislation mandating that "Ministers of this Church ought not to perform the funeral service in the case of any person who shall give or accept a challenge to a duel", which was passed four years after the famous duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was buried at Trinity Church, Wall Street, and the funeral was conducted by Bishop Benjamin Moore of New York, who served as rector of Trinity, as well as being bishop. A resolution that clergy could not unite in matrimony any divorced person, unless the divorce was on account of adultery was also passed. The House of Bishops sent a note of thanks to the Rev. Dr. Bend, "for the accommodations which they have received in the use of his parlour, and in other attentions, during the Session of the Convention."
General Convention would not meet in Baltimore again until 1871, then again in 1892.

General Convention wrap-up and ongoing ministry
July 24, 2018 /in GC79, General Convention, News /by cgraves
For a summary wrap-up of General Convention, please read the article on Episcopal News Service highlighting the big headlines. We will continue to follow the legislation of General Convention with stories on the Diocese of Maryland's response to actions taken at General Convention and how we, as a Community of Love, are following the mission and ministry set forth by our wider Church in the local communities in our diocese.
Highlights from your Maryland deputation, fun moments and other important events not to be missed
As the House of Bishops branch of our church government unanimously voted on July 10 to formally welcome Cuba back into The Episcopal Church after a separation in 1966, there were explosions of clapping, shouting and joy. Bishop Chilton Knudsen explains why in this video, which has reached 2,000 views on Facebook. The Rev. Dina van Klaveren of St. Andrew's, Glenwood and head of our diocesan deputation to General Convention, served on the legislative committee that addressed this resolution at GC79. Read more in The Rev. Dina van Klaveren shares testimony on Cuba and learn more about the issue from the Living Church.

One of the most moving and powerful events the deputation experienced at General Convention was a prayer vigil held at the Hutto Detention Center in Taylor, Texas on Sunday, July 8. Bishop Michael Curry gave a rousing speech, surrounded by Episcopalians who were there to let the refugee women being detained in the facility that they were not alone. Many described seeing the women's faces in the windows of the center. The women were able to communicate that they felt loved. For more on the event, see coverage by the Austin NBC Affiliate of the the Bishops United Against Gun Violence Rally, held earlier that morning in Brush Square across from the Austin Convention Center, and on the detention center vigil. See pictures shared by The Rev. Ramelle McCall of Holy Trinity, Baltimore. Last week, the diocesan Latino Ministries Committee met to discuss way in which we can carry on the legislative work centered on immigration and refugee issues done at General Convention in our diocese. Be on the lookout in upcoming posts and news for events, training and advocacy opportunities.

Our deputies and bishops chaired and served on numerous legislative committees. They actively engaged in testimony and leadership within the larger Church. The Rev. Jason Poling of St. Hilda's, Catonsville traveled to Austin for a few days to testify about Israel and Palestine. See Jason's message +HERE. The Rev. Ramelle McCall testified on resolution A029 – Commend the Evangelism Charter for the Church to All Episcopalians. See his testimony on the floor of the House of Deputies branch of church government +HERE. Ramelle also offered his thoughts on why being at General Convention is important to his work and to the work of the diocese in a video +HERE. He serves as Urban Missioner for the Diocese of Maryland, practicing ongoing community building. The Rev. Scott Slater testified in a hearing on resolution A147 – Pilot Board for Episcopal Transitions, and The Rev. Dina van Klaveren testified in support of improved and more thorough background checks for candidates for election of bishops in the Episcopal Church. The measure on background checks passed the House of Deputies unanimously, Deputy Mark Garcia reported.
Mark served on legislative committee 12 – Prayer Book, Liturgy, and Music as a dispatch liaison. The committee dealt with prayer book revision, as well as revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and the Book of Occasional Services. See more on the prayer book revision in this story by Episcopal News Service, House of Bishops proposes expanded path for prayer book revision (ENS).

Our new co-executive directors of the Claggett Center, James and Lisa Marie Ryder, along with Baby Fletcher, came out in full force to promote and support Claggett's presence at General Convention. The Claggett labyrinth was featured on the banner for the Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers booth at GC79 and Claggett had its own day of promotion in the booth July 7. July 9 was "camp day" at General Convention. The Maryland crew wore their Claggett shirts and lanyards and came out in full force to support our camp and conference center. For more about how Claggett was featured at General Convention, read The garden of the Diocese, the Claggett Center, featured at General Convention.
The days of hard work, serious prayer and action and long hours of legislation at General Convention were interspersed with moments of pure joy, fun and celebration. The Episcopal Church put on a revival at the Palmer Events Center in Austin on Saturday, July 7. Bishop Curry's "sermon" contained quite a few mentions of St. James, Baltimore, his former parish. You can check it out +HERE. Dinner followed at "Texas night," a BBQ and live music event sponsored by The Episcopal Diocese of Texas. Be on the lookout for what Maryland will come up with for a Maryland-themed night when we host General Convention 80 in 2021!
A touching moment at the Revival when, to his surprise, Bishop Curry received a laying on of hands, symbolically by the 5,000 gathered, as well as prayers to grant him rest, strength, courage, love and revival on his continued journey as our presiding bishop.

On Tuesday, July 10, the Maryland crew hosted a luncheon for the bishop and deputation of Puerto Rico, with whom we have a companion diocese relationship. The two deputations and guests bonded and shared hopes and dreams for future exchange programs, including a youth trip next summer, as well as ongoing clergy and lay relationships and common ministry. A desire to learn more Spanish was a hope for many in the Maryland crowd. At the end of our time together, the whole group posed for a photo. The picture below (prepping for formal photo) says it all. Please keep the Diocese of Puerto Rico and the people of Puerto Rico in your prayers, especially as they continue to recover from Hurricane Maria. Bishop Sutton will be a guest at their diocesan convention in October of this year.
Great teamwork and uproarious laughter as Maryland and Puerto Rico construct the group photo pose! Bishop Sutton is doubled over. Photo credit ~Episcopal Diocese of Maryland
As mentioned above, General Convention 80 will take place in Baltimore in 2021! Many thanks to Caroline Bomgardner for her hard work at General Convention 79, learning what it takes to host the event. Did you know this event requires more than 1,000 volunteers? The Diocese of Texas and all of the volunteers who came in from around the Church did an amazing job. They were especially excited when the moment came to "pass the torch." Bishop Andy Doyle of Texas took a hand-crafted torch from hard-working Texas volunteer Scott Madison. From there it was passed in a relay race to the sound of Chariots of Fire until it reached Bishop Sutton, who accepted it. Later the torch was passed through the House of Deputies to The Rev. Scott Slater, who accepted it on behalf of the diocese in that House, accompanied by a slide show of Orioles, crabs and more. Excitement about General Convention in Baltimore abounded.
Texas volunteer Scott Madison joyfully hands the torch to Caroline Bomgardner in the House of Bishops at GC79. GC80, here we come!
With all this action it's hard to imagine there could be more. As one last salute to hosting General Convention in Baltimore, the Marylanders cooked up a surprise. In case you hadn't heard, there was a certain pigeon who graced the hall of the House of Deputies throughout convention. By mid-convention he had his own Twitter (@gc79pigeon), and even Instagram, accounts. The General Convention Pigeon prompted the obtaining of pigeon hats and other shenanigans from various deputations. But we had them beat. No one can top the POEgeon and his dark priest from Baltimore!
The General Convention POEgeon. Imagine we'll be seeing more of these in 2021!
Other highlights from Maryland include our Archdeacon Ruth Elder serving at the table at GC79, another General Convention under the belt for our longest serving and most experienced deputies, David Mallory and Alma Bell and the excellent impromptu host of our version of Inside General Convention, The Rev. Stewart Lucas of The Church of the Nativity and Holy Comforter. Our videos were a hit. Stewart did a great job connecting everyone at home to what was happening in Austin. Be sure to check out our Facebook page to view all of the videos.

Dispatch from Austin from The Rev. Dion Thompson
AUSTIN: Now comes the eighth legislative day, the penultimate day of the 79th General Convention. Resolutions are moving fast and furious between the two houses. Some make it through relatively unscathed. That was the case yesterday when the House of Deputies unanimously concurred with the decision by the House of Bishops to readmit Cuba into the Episcopal Church.
"Right now, I know that the Holy Spirit is moving through all of us," the Rt. Rev. Griselda Delgado del Carpio, bishop of Cuba, told the deputies. "I want to thank the Lord and the Trinity for this prophetic moment that we are experiencing."
There were cheers and applause. "Welcome home," said the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, president of the House of Deputies.
Plans to revise the Book of Common Prayer have traveled a much tougher legislative road. The resolution passed last week by the House of Deputies had a $2 million price tag and projections for a years-long process. It arrived yesterday from the House of Bishops as a proposal to create a Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision comprising 10 lay people, 10 priests or deacons, and 10 bishops.
The multi-million-dollar budget was now $201,000 for the translation of liturgical materials with hopes that the Executive Council would find another $200,000 to begin the liturgical revision process. Such is politics. At this late date, with time winding down, the deputies passed the resolution without amendment.
Plenty of work remains. Today's first order of business is the proposed $134 million budget for 2019-2021.
That's all for now.
God's peace,
Dion+
David Mallery and Alma Bell are our senior deputies. This is their sixth General Convention as lay deputies for the Diocese of Maryland.

A love story shadowed by murder. A comedy laced with horror.
Writer, ex-con and 40-something bottle-baby Tim Madden, who is prone to black-outs, awakens from a two-week bender to discover a pool of blood in his car.


Premenstrual symptoms are experienced by up to 95% of women, and few treatments are available. Previous studies suggest that 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) may be associated with the severity of premenstrual symptoms, but the findings have been inconclusive.
The objective of this study was to determine whether vitamin D status is associated with the severity of individual premenstrual symptoms.
Cross-sectional analysis of 998 women aged 20 to 29 years recruited at the University of Toronto campus from 2004 through 2010.
Participants provided data on their premenstrual symptoms in a premenstrual symptom questionnaire. Fasting overnight blood samples were collected, and plasma 25(OH)D was measured. Participants with plasma 25(OH)D concentrations <20 ng/mL were considered to have inadequate vitamin D status, and those with ≥20 ng/mL, adequate vitamin D status.
Multinomial logistic regressions were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval for the associations between vitamin D status and the severity of 15 premenstrual symptoms. Adjustments were made for age, body mass index, ethnicity/race, physical activity, hormonal contraceptive use, season of blood draw, use of analgesics, and calcium intake.
sexual desire (OR=1.65; 95% CI, 1.09 to 2.51).
Vitamin D status was not associated with other premenstrual symptoms (acne, bloating, mood swings, increased appetite, headache, clumsiness, insomnia, depression, or nausea).
Findings suggest that inadequate vitamin D status may be associated with increased severity of some, but not all, premenstrual symptoms.

Andhra Pradesh to buy 500 MW-1,500 MW daily to meet power demand
Andhra Pradesh power utilities have decided to buy power ranging from 500 MW to 1,500 MW daily based on demand from July to October to overcome the threat of extreme coal shortage to provide an uninterrupted power supply.
On Thursday, during a review by Minister for Energy Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy on the power supply position with AP power utilities via video conference, the officials explained the steps being taken by the utilities to continue round-the-clock power supply despite the coal shortage that is likely in the coming months.
The officials explained that the thermal power plants across the nation may not be able to address the growth in power demand in the forthcoming months during the monsoon due to the severe shortage of coal that is likely due to the southwest monsoon. The rains may hinder the mining and transportation of coal in the nation.
Even though India had a capacity of mining over 1,500 million tonnes (mt) of coal the prior year, the total production was just 777 mt which is half of its production capacity. As the coal reserves are not at the predicted level at thermal power stations this year as well, and it may not be possible to raise adequate coal stocks, the country may encounter another coal shortage in the forthcoming months.

About Daisy C. Perez: I have been making art for as long as I can remember. I draw in charcoal, pencil, pen and ink, crayon (yes I am serious) and watercolor pencils. I paint with acrylics on anything I am allowed to paint on including but not limited to walls, furniture, birdhouses, fabric, etc. I am getting into more of what I call 2.5 D works and I am hoping to do more 3D sculpting. I love to use recycled materials in my art.
Teaching art to children and adults is fabulous! I love to teach the kids because they have such a joy for life and help me get back to the basics of creating. I enjoy teaching adults because they usually are hesitant to take that next step in a painting, but when they are done they are so full of joy and proud of what they did, it's like they are a kid again. Helping others succeed is a wonderful feeling.
